1.5 CE Credits
Edward Hopper's paintings evoke powerful human moods and enigmatic emotional states. His art takes us to a place in ourselves where intense longings for connection co-exist with a sense of impending loss, aloneness and mortality. Hopper's vibrant, haunting images convey how an artist "dreams" us into imagining how our patients create meaning in a world of enigmatic otherness—the world we will all, inevitably, lose.
Learning Objectives: After this intermediate/advanced presentation, participants will be able to:
1. Identify strategies Hopper uses to convey the human experience of longing, enigma and desire.
2. Analyze the ways that the human longing for connection exists in the existential context of otherness and loss – both in Hopper's art and in therapy.
3. Discuss how erotic desire is often used as a vital antidote to aloneness and mortality; and how this affects psychoanalytic
4. Explain the role of the therapist's imagination in treating patients.

Suspect in theft of murder-suicide scene weighs plea deal
Jerod Morris Reeves, who is suspected of robbing the scene of a father-son murder-suicide, waived his right to a preliminary hearing in Grand County Court on Monday, Feb. 6, as he and his new counsel consider a plea agreement.
Carl Stahl, a Steamboat Springs lawyer, is now representing Reeves in all charges in Grand County and other venues, including pending federal charges.
Reeves had initially applied for a public defender.
Stahl said in court on Monday that he will coordinate defenses and pleas for Reeves, who is considering a plea offer by the District Attorney's office. The offer is to plead guilty to criminal trespass, a Class 5 felony, and abuse of corpse, a Class 2 misdemeanor. Part of the proposed deal is that any sentence would run concurrent with any federal sentence.
The case is now headed to District Court, where the judge will also consider the merits of the proposed plea deal.
Reeves, 35, of Craig faces charges of identity theft, theft, first degree criminal trespass, possession of burglary tools, tampering with physical evidence, criminal possession of a financial device, violation of bail bonds, criminal mischief, abuse of a corpse, and telecommunication crime.
Federal charges have not been released by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Denver, according to Deputy District Attorney Heather Stein who is prosecuting the case in Grand County.
The charges stem from crimes Reeves and another suspect, Kimberly Mae McCaffery, allegedly committed at the scene of a father-son murder-suicide on County Road 102 near the Trough Road in December.
McCaffery, 29, of Craig was scheduled for a status hearing on Feb. 7. She has been charged with identity theft, theft, first degree criminal trespass, possession of burglary tools, tampering with physical evidence, criminal possession of a financial device, violation of bail bonds, and criminal mischief.

Share the Love
Dr. Larry Petton
Beautiful and Stupid at the Same Time
A husband and wife were having an argument. Finally, out of sheer frustration, the husband blurted out, "Honey, I don't know why God made you so beautiful and, yet, so stupid at the same time!"
His wife stared at him and said, "Well, God made me So Beautiful so you could love me. And God made me Stupid so that I could love you!"
Ahh - Love. There is just nothing on earth that even resembles true love - God's love - now is there?
Even Biblical scholars of long ago all agree that the topic of God's love is truly an overwhelming subject. Why? Because there is so much that the bible has to say about the love of God. God's love is definitely multifaceted. So much so that I am sure that even the most highly educated people of our time couldn't even come close to fully comprehending it.
To quote A. W. Tozer, "I can do no more justice to this awesome and wonderful-filled topic than a child can grasp a star. Still, by reaching toward the star the child may call attention to it and even indicate the direction one must look to see it. And so, I stretch my heart toward the high, shining love of God so that we may be encouraged to look up and have hope."
In John 3:16, Jesus said, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."
This amazing statement from Jesus Christ is just one short sentence. Yet it is chucked full with so much truth that we literally will never have enough time to fully understand all that Jesus was trying to tell us about God's deep love for us.
Just from this one amazing sentence we have found seven truths (even though I am sure there are many more truths to be found) about God's love - how deeply He loves.
We have learned that God's love is unconditional
God's love is sacrificial
The love of God is valuable
God's love is nonjudgemental
God's love is beneficial
I once read a story about a young man who in modern day times could be known as the prodigal son. It goes like this. Years ago a young man had quarreled with his father and left home. He continued to keep in touch with his mother, and wanted very badly to ome home for Christmas, but he was afraid his father would not allow him. His mother wrote to him and urged him to come home, but he did not feel he could until he knew his father had forgiven him. Finally, there was no time for any more letters. His mother wrote and said she would talk with the father, and if he had forgiven him, she would tie a white cloth on the tree which grew right alongside the railroad tracks near their home, which he could see before the train reached the station. If there were no white cloth, it would be better if he went on.
So the young man started home. As the train drew near his home he was so nervous he said to his friend who was traveling with him, "I can't bear to look. Sit in my place and look out the window. I'll tell you what the tree looks like and you can tell me whether there is a white cloth on it or not." So his friend changed places with him and looked out the window. After a bit the friend said, "Oh, yes, I see the tree." The son asked asked, "Is there a white cloth tied to it?" For a moment the friend did not say anything. Then he turned, and in a very gentle voice said, "There is a white cloth tied to every limb of that tree!"
I feel that in a sense Jesus is the white cloth that our Heavenly Father tied on the tree (the cross) for you and me. Telling you and me that yes, I have forgiven you, come on home, I love you.

He asked me to let him in. He looked drunk, possibly dangerous – like many southern men maybe carrying a knife in his back pocket and possibly knowing the correct way to display the Confederate flag off the back of his pick-up truck, appearing as if he just dragged himself out of the depths of a NASCAR race pit. Me – alone, female, and black raised in a town where the KKK ran rampant and having found and faced an intruder in my home a few months earlier, was secretly looking for every possible escape route if needed. Getting myself ready to scream like all holy hell and use the keys in my hand better and faster than his supposed knife.
He didn't move. Just demanded entry. Still blocking my access to the door, my guarantee of safety. When he spoke, his southern accent could have rivaled that of Forrest Gump or any cast member of Duck Dynasty.
"Are you the owner?"
"No, just getting ready to open for business."
"I need to get in and speak with the owner."
"I can take your name and number and give it to him. He will be here later." I said knowing that was just a stall tactic.
"I need to get in now. Will you just let me in?"
It was a Sunday. My day to open the gym. It was a hot South Carolina summer day, the kind that leaves you sweating even in air-conditioning. I had woken up, done my morning routine, gotten in the car, and headed to work. Arriving right on time – 30 minutes before opening, a good while before others would start to arrive. I don't even remember if I saw him when I pulled into the gravel parking lot. There were no other cars there but as I rounded the corner of the 5 foot red painted wall, there he was on the stairs. Now it was just me, him, and the door.
"Will you please let me in for a little while?"
Ten years of watching Law and Order Special Victims Unit episodes flash through my head as I hear myself trying to stay professional. "I'm sorry, sir. We are not open yet." This is not the way I wanted to meet Marishka Hargitay. Not as a victim.
The stairwell was wide with an access ramp on one side and the handrail down the middle painted the same red color as the enclosing walls. At the top of the stairs was a bike rack that wasn't completely bolted down to the ground. Did he know that? I wondered if I could use it as a means of protection or if it will be used as a weapon against me. I started to weigh my options as the repetitive rhetoric continued. He, asking for entry. Me, politely declining.
I decided to make my move. He sat on one side of the handrail so I walked up the other, still verbally declining entry as I ascended.
To my surprise he never moved. Never got any closer toward me. To my fear, I realized I have to turn my back to him completely to unlock the door. Entering the gym would take me out of the security of daylight into the pitch black of the building's interior, only illuminated by the emergency exit signs. Am I safer in the dark or in the light?
I don't think I've ever unlocked a door more quickly. I got in, slammed the door, and relocked the deadbolt all about taking a single breath, while the alarm beeped, begging to be turned off or ready to call for help if needed. Turns out you can feel safe in the dark.
I didn't unlock the gym door again until a car pulled in the parking lot. One of the regulars, wearing his usual gray T-shirt and blue shorts. He was always predictable, reliable- same clothes, same elliptical machine, same day and time. He was also a prosecutor for the county.
"What happened to you?"
I must have still looked shaken.
"There was this guy and he freaked me out. Wanted me to let him in."
"When your boss comes in to do payroll, you should tell him. He can pull up the security footage for the police. They'll keep an eye out for you."
The camera! I forgot there was a security camera aimed right at the front door. I went through the rest of my shift of folding towels, greeting people and making small talk a little more lightheartedly.
My balding boss came in later that afternoon and I immediately told him of the encounter. Worried his female employee felt unsafe, he went back into the office to review the security tape.
"Dara! Come here!"
I went back to the office and watched. I watched the tape- reliving in my head the insistent demand for entry, seeing his face, hearing his drawl, feeling the fear and my heart beat again. I watched. I watched myself walk up the stairs, unlock the door, and come into the building.
He was not there.

Yes, its very quiet here now, with my sister home, probably as I'm typing this. We had an AWESOME visit. We are so much alike its amazing, and I'm already planning for next year. We packed an awful lot into the short days we spent together. Our salsa turned out, by the way, for those of you who asked how it is. We wound up making two batches.
I'm so thankful to my thoughtful husband who took a day off from his projects to 'chauffer' us about, while we 'gabbed in the back' of the van on our trip across the border.
Mostly, I thank God for this thing called 'sisterliness' - I don't think I can find the words to describe what it truly means. There's a bond that is completely special and unique. I feel like we are small mirrors of personality in both of us. I better stop here, for I'm totally overwhelmed. I love you Nina and I miss you already!

In my spare time finally I scanned the 1344 (60x18+44x6) hands from the IMP pairs finals (half kidding). I share the most exciting ones. (Spoiler: the last is the best.)
First day, first session, board 20.
7 out of the 18 East-West played in 5 diamonds and none of the six Souths led the singleton club. On a heart lead, both the 3 no trumps and the 5 diamonds are hopeless but most of the North-South pairs bid heavily the boss suit, and when the opposition played they led their spades. Looking at the results, we can see that there were two good heart leads against the 5 diamonds. In the other five cases South led the spade, the declarer finessed the queen successfully and North took the trick with the ace. At his point only Gyula Argay found the killing Ace of club, for a well deserved 4,41 IMPS:
The other four declarers could run away with their contract after another successful finesse, the second time being against the jack of clubs, taking 8,94 or 6,00 IMPS depending on the double coming or not, respectively.
5 minors was a hot topic that weekend. The question was if you find the good game here:
Two of the possible solutions:
Szalka-Czimer are members of the Galim, one of the strongest teams in Hungary. They use a precision system, developed by Csaba. Afterward the big club East asked and received the information of West having:
Or, as you see in the next link, you can do it in a much more practical way, as the young lady bid it with her partner:
Back to the play. I vote this as the most exciting board in the whole weekend. First day, second session:
7 of the 18 East-Wests bid the slam. One pair employed precision, three Easts opened 2NT with the 19, three Easts compensated later. (More pairs tried to find the slam and as is frequently the case, a few landed in exotic contracts like 4 spades and 5 clubs. There is even a 5 no trumps which is otherwise considered as the rarest contracts of all.)
From the 7 slams, one was solved at the first trick. North led away from his spade holding therefore the declarer had simply no other choice than to let it run to the queen, thus the contract was made. The spade lead was much more successful at another table, where it was made by South and the declarer had no chance. At one table the declarer decided to guess the jack of clubs in the second trick, and she was not lucky.
I would like now to show you the other four plays. Let's start with Peter Bárczy, whom I believe played the best from all of the declarers:
After getting the information that South has 9 red cards, he finessed the jack against the long club, two down. Unfortunately IMP Pairs is not always the fairest form of competition.
The other three declarers started to work on clubs right away. Daniel Vikor was allowed to hold the trick with the queen of clubs, by Judith Sándor. What a great play from North!
Daniel finessed the jack back, lost the trick, and now it was all pressure on South, who did not see that a squeeze was coming. A spade now would have broken the entries, but South chose the "safe" heart and Daniel had made no mistake. The great hold up play vanished from their sights.
At our table the queen of clubs was taken and the safe heart did not help again:
With a precisely executed Vienna Coup, Dumbovich could play all of his chances: 50% for finding the jack of clubs and the doubleton jack of club together. In his case the 50% (okay, 50% minus epsilon) wasn't a good finesse, but the chance of having the king of spades and the jack of clubs in one hand. As you can see he made his contract with the side chance.
However you can defend against this as Gábor Macskásy did, and I do think he had the last word to this board:
He visualized the problem already in the second trick and made it hard for the declarer to solve. So what would have played Dumbovich from the dummy after receiving the club return remains a mystery… but having no more Vienna, the finesse seems to be the percentage play.
On the second day, Czímer-Szalka took the lead early and led the field at the break. They had bidded very effectively with their precision on board 17 again:
This time it was Szalka who asked, and after the artificial game force two clubs, received this information:
So he could bid a slam try in clubs (3♠) which was encouraged by the 4♣ and there came an RKC in clubs (4♦).
No other pair was able to find the good grand slam, one pair unfortunately didn't even bid the small (shame on me).
The last board I would like to show is the only one not in the order of play, a little dessert:
You have to be careful to catch the predator, but croco is there in time to eat my king and thus to save my jack… (we still had 8 cards in our hands, what an endplay!) While I confess that I have never seen a crocodile live, It worth to give it a thought or two, why and how it worth a trick and what could have happened without it. Too bad that the green evil appeared only for the second undertrick, it was underpaid with the 3,6 IMPs we received.
I hope you enjoyed. I found that it definitely is valuable to have all the boards from all the tables registered with the bid and the play at an important event. (Or even in a club. )

Hello from Taqaddum Surgical Hospital, Iraq! Your boxes of socks, sweat
pants/tops, toiletries and your letters of support have helped us a
great deal. Just today, we had a mass casualty with five Marines hit by
a grenade. They are ok and are recovering on our ward.
When wounded personnel arrive to our facility, we typically cut off their uniforms to
expose their wounds. The sweat pants, tops you sent are very
comfortable for them to wear while they recover from their wounds.
You guys are awesome! Thank you very much. I have attached a recent
group photo of us.

I recently saw this gift set in my local Target and just had to snap a few photos. As you know, I'm a Skipper collector, so any new doll makes me happy. This musical set includes Barbie, Skipper, Stacie, and
Kelly, er, Chelsea. They are decked out in their holiday best in outfits that mimic those worn in the new Barbie movie "Barbie: A Perfect Christmas".
As far as the quality of these dolls, I can't complain. They look nicer than most of the basics I've seen recently and in terms of holiday dolls, they're the best I've seen in years. The base the girls stand on is musical and allows the sisters to sing 'Deck the Halls' in various harmonies.
Now, getting down the the nitty gritty– the Skipper doll! Let me disclaimer this really quickly. This next statement might be my imagination. I won't know for sure until I get my hands on this gift set, but it looks to me like Skippers head mold is getting more inflated (ie: like Barbie's round, balloon like head mold). I really hope that they keep Skippers head mold as is and don't begin 'tweaking' it.
Again, Mattel has decided to use a body type where her arm is permanently bent, identical to the 2011 Skipper that came with the bathroom play set. Personally, I'd take a body with two straight arms over this mold any day, but alas, Mattel seems to like it.
I love that they switched up the hair do for this Skipper, loosing the side bang for a more 'dressy' style. As a mater of preference, I do prefer bangs on her, but as I mentioned earlier on the blog, the 2010/2011 Skipper's have been a bit redundant. This is a welcome change! I forgot to look at the highlight in her hair, so I'm not sure of what color it is. It looks red in my close up shot, but I will have to confirm that when I see this set again.
I am not a fan of her outfit. Of all four sisters, Skipper was given the worst dress. In my opinion, this is the worst outfit they've released Skipper in so far this year. Skipper could have rocked a more trendy outfit– maybe something that didn't include neon green/florescent yellow plaid!
What do you think of the set? Do you think Skippers head is more inflated in this version than in the past 2011 releases? Share your thoughts in the comment area!

It seems there are many books based on or influenced by Myths and Mythological Beings.
There are so many different Mythology and Mythological Beings recorded. Some are very popular and well known, others not so much. There are many similar beings, yet different depending on the culture it's based in. The definition of Myth covers about anything in the Urban Fantasy/Fantasy realm to me.
I've read the first book of this series, Blood Kissed series, and enjoyed the romance and story here. Now Seleste has the second book coming our way. Kiss of Life is now available! And to share about the book, Seleste has a Mythical post for us to day.
If you didn't grow up around Detroit, you've probably never heard of the creature known as the Nain Rouge. Honestly, I've lived here most of my life, and until I started researching local legends for Kiss of Life, I'd never heard of him either. Once I did, however, I knew I needed him.
Nain Rouge translates literally to "red dwarf" or "red gnome." Variations on the legend consider him either a protector of the city or…a harbinger of doom. And really, just because something bad happens doesn't mean it wasn't ultimately for protection. So, I try not to judge the guy.
Some examples of things the Nain Rouge has been blamed for:
- The loss of Cadillac's fortune (Cadillac was the founder of Detroit)
- Battle of Bloody Run
- 1805 fire that destroyed much of the city
- The 12th Street Riot in 1967
- Great storm in March 1976
Basically, the stories say that if he shows himself, bad things are coming.
Now, Michigan has its share of weird legends including the Michigan Dogman, the Ridgeway Monster, the Leelanau Lake Monster, the Paulding Light, and even supposed sightings of Bigfoot. (There are probably more, but that's just a brief example. The Dogman is probably the most famous of the list.) But you see, the thing is, I wanted something different. A dogman is really just kind of a werewolf. And Leelanau is a whole lot like Nessie from what I can tell (also…water kind of limits its use). But the Nain Rouge…when you're talking about ancient supernatural beings and war, a harbinger of doom is just too good an opportunity to pass up.
So, if you happen to see what looks like a little person dressed in red and black fur (possibly with horns), be careful not to offend him. The Nain Rouge tolerates much, but a single offense will change the course of your life.
Plus, fans of the series will be more than a little excited to find out exactly who he's in cahoots with ;-)
About Kiss of Life:
The vampire's curse has been awakened, and Jocelyn has no choice but to accept her destiny as the Blood Kissed—the one destined to destroy the vampires…or rule them. While Max and Chad want to help her reach her full potential, not all of the supernaturals share their plan.
The Council of Elders, a crazed sorcerer assassin, and a vampire hunter out for revenge have driven Jocelyn into hiding. She and her ragtag army have holed up in the forests of Michigan's upper peninsula to get ready for the fight. If training is any indication, they should be ready for war by the time she turns fifty.
But no one is going to let her wait that long. War is nigh, the death toll is rising, and when Michigan's most famous harbinger of doom shows up on the scene, the army of the Blood Kissed is hoping for a miracle, praying to be graced with a little kiss of life…
About Seleste:
At a young age, Seleste deLaney discovered the trick to not being afraid of the monsters under the bed was to turn them into heroes. Since that time, she's seen enough of human monsters that she prefers to escape to fictional worlds where even the worst demons have to play by the rules and the good guys might end up battered and bruised (or dead), but they always win. And really, isn't that the way it should be?
She resides in the Detroit area with all her favorite monsters (nice ones—some are furry and the others call her Mom) and is hard at work on her next book. In those rare moments when she isn't battling terrorists, vampires, or rogue clockworks, she can be found all over the Internet, where she loves to interact with readers.

Overnight news
Geopolitical risks: The Trump administration said evidence clearly showed Syria was behind a chemical attack on civilians this month and accused Russia of trying to cover up for its ally, Bashar al-Assad, by spreading disinformation. As Secretary of State Rex Tillerson headed for Moscow, the US laid out its case in a document relying on declassified intelligence and open-source material such as commercial satellite images and contemporaneous reports from the scene, as well as evidence of sarin exposure gathered from the victims.

New tech promotes safer driving at night
Wednesday, October 24, 2018 Add Comment Edit
According to a recent survey, most people are scared driving after dark, something that, with the clocks about to go back, will soon be happening for more and more people.
Just follow your headlights! New tech predicts what's coming
Ford are the first manufacturer to introduce technology that uses road signs and lane markings as the cue to adjust headlight beams that better illuminate the road ahead. On the new Focus this will, for example, widen the beam when approaching a roundabout so that drivers are able to see pedestrians and cyclists at the kerbside more easily.
Rather than depending on GPS mapping, which does not always reflect the latest road layout changes, the new system harnesses camera and lighting technologies to offers real-world warning of what lies ahead.
Michael Koher - engineer
"The dream is that night driving need be no more difficult than driving in the day. Our latest lighting technologies are part of our plan to make that a reality. Across Europe 15 per cent of road layouts change every year. Amazingly useful as GPS is, using signs to read the road offers the most up-to-date information you can get."
Experts say the risk of being in a fatal crash is three times higher at night. There is also an increasing number of roundabouts, the total number across 19 European countries rising by 16 per cent from 2016 to 2017 alone.
The front facing camera on the Focus already supports technologies that help drivers keep the car centred in its lane, maintain a comfortable driving distance from vehicles ahead and warn drivers against driving the wrong way onto a motorway. Mounted on the inside of the windscreen, below the rear-view mirror, it can monitor road signs and markings up to 65 metres ahead, enabling the system's dynamic bending function to come into play much sooner than if only reliant on steering inputs.

The Orland Park area offers many opportunities to give back or contribute to the community≥
The Giving Tree at the Orland Park Public Library
Orland Park Public Library and the Orland Township Food Pantry are again hosting The Giving Tree. During December, the library will collect new winter clothing — coats, hats, gloves, scarves, etc. The Giving Tree is located on the main level of the library.
The Giving Tree service project has been gathering items during this time of year for 16 years. The library's teen advisory group, Teen Inc., began this service project. It remains a wonderful way for library patrons to give back to the community. Simply bring your donations to the library Youth Services Desk, or place them under the tree (or on it, if you are so inclined), during regular library hours.
Check out many of the other programs and gifts the library has this season at orlandparklibrary.org. Patrons interested in supporting the library may contact Library Director Mary Weimar to memorialize a loved one with a paver or by gifting books.
Orland Township Food Pantry Holiday Program
The Orland Township Food Pantry is accepting donations to stock their shelves and is again sponsoring families for their upcoming Holiday Program. Marianne Hill, Food Pantry coordinator, spoke with me about the Holiday Program. She has been involved with the Food Pantry since it began in 1983.
The Food Pantry coordinates programs for families that may need a little extra help during this season through its Holiday Program. Adopt-A-Family and Family Sponsorships are currently underway, wherein generous individuals may gift toys, clothing, and other necessities to ensure other families that may be having a difficult time this year may enjoy the holiday.
New this year for Orland Township is a Giving Tree, which is located in the lobby of the Township Offices at 14807 Ravinia. To participate, simply choose an ornament hanging from the tree. The ornament contains the age and gender of a child hoping for a gift. Purchase an item, and return the gift and tag to the Township offices before December 9.
Donations for The Holiday Program, which will be Dec. 15, should be received by the Food Pantry by Dec. 9. During the Holiday Event, families that have previously filled out paperwork and a "Wish List" will then be invited to the event to receive their gifts.
This is a great volunteer opportunity for groups or students in need of community service hours. Currently, volunteers are needed during certain shifts. Please phone the Orland Township office at 708-403-4222 to volunteer, as opportunities fill up quickly.
"Orland Township provides gifts, food, and gift certificates to deserving families served in this area. We wish to thank everyone for their donations. We truly appreciate all of the donations that are received. Our goal is to help families have a happy and merry Christmas," Hill said.
More information is at orlandtownship.org/food-pantry/
Forest Preserve District of Will County
If the holiday season has already begun to get a bit overwhelming, the Forest Preserve District of Will County has an upcoming volunteer opportunity that could help.
A natural resource workday will be held from 8 a.m. to noon Dec. 11, at Messenger Woods Nature Preserve in Homer Glen. Participants will help remove woody invasive species in the preserve.
"Volunteers will have the opportunity to contribute to their community, support the local environment, meet fellow nature-lovers, and get some fresh air and exercise," said Cindy Cain, the district's public information officer. Registration is required at 815)-722-7364, or send an email to volunteer supervisor Renee Gauchat, email@example.com.
Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Paul Martinez, marketing and web manager for the Chicago Council of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, shared information about their inaugural Jingle Bell Walk from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. Saturday. This event features a 3K walk through Lincoln Park, with choirs caroling along the way. Hot chocolate and fresh cookies will be served; there will be kid's crafts, a special visit from Santa, and view of the zoo and city holiday lights!
The net proceeds go toward alleviating poverty among the poor, cold, and hungry during the holiday season. Participants will receive a winter hat with the St. Vincent de Paul logo and the option to attend the after-party (tickets sold separately). More information is at www.jinglebellwalk.com
St. Vincent de Paul is always looking for donations, especially this time of year. Martinez reminds us that "Donations tend to drop off during the holidays and winter months so it's nice to remind people that we serve people in need every day of the year! The holidays are probably the toughest time for many people."
This time of year, let us keep in mind to be thankful, helpful, giving, and kind.

1966 - November 26
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
|"The Vedic knowledge was coming by hearing. There was no need of book. But when this age, Kali-yuga, began, five thousand years before, they were recorded, and systematically... Vedas, first there was only one Veda, Atharva Veda. Then Vyāsadeva, just to make it clear, divided into four and entrusted his various disciples to take charge of one school of Veda. Then again he made Mahābhārata, Purāṇas, just to make the Vedic knowledge understandable by the common man in different ways."
|661126 - Lecture CC Madhya 20.124-125 - New York
|The purpose of education is to make man the highest of the mankind, but modern education is teaching lowest of the mankind. And if some of the students are taught to become highest of the mankind, their guardians become disturbed: "Oh, my son is going to be highest of the mankind? Swamijī, you are playing dangerous things." Oh. Just see. Swamijī's speaking, "No, don't smoke. Don't take tea. Don't have illicit connection with women. Be upright. Be devotee." "Oh, Swamijī's dangerous."
|If you think you shall be able to sell them you can keep the books on sales account and in that case you will please immediately hand over two sets of Book (Srimad-Bhagavatam) to Srimati Sumati Morarji as abovementioned and oblige.
|I consider your good self as one of the associates of Srimati Radharani Lord Krishna's most beloved consort. So your prayer to Lord Krishna for success of my mission in the Western countries will surely be heard. But at the same time I expect full cooperation of all devotees of Krishna in India specially in Bombay in this mighty progress.
|I wish to train up the American youths in the line of devotional service and entrust them with Temples of Sri Sri Radha Krishna in various parts of this part of the world.
1968 - November 26
|Your rendering our books in the Spanish language will be a tremendous service to our Krishna Conscious movement. It is most encouraging news that you have begun this activity and by all means continue with it. If you will complete the first three volumes by June, 1969, as you have proposed, it shall be a most welcome asset for propagation of our society.
|Regarding the Christmas Day meal with your family, I do not think you should partake of the food prepared by non-devotees. Better you should prepare your own foodstuffs and offer to Krishna and then, if you like, you may offer these remnants to Lord Jesus. I think that Lord Jesus will also appreciate this.
|I have no doubt that under your able direction the New Vrindaban will become a most prosperous endeavor in spreading Krishna Consciousness and attracting the attention of many new people. There is no need for discouragement because you are working sincerely and according to Krishna's plan your activities prove to be of great use in propagating our movement.
|We must always remember that the leader in charge of a temple must learn to successfully deal with the other persons there. No one is working as a paid servant so if the dealings are not friendly everyone will decide to leave. The leader of the temple must try always to be sober and tolerant and at the same time manage everything nicely. Please continue to try and cultivate this talent and I know you will be given all intelligence to do this.
1969 - November 26
|The parents arrange for marriage and whatever boy or girl they select for their son or daughter, that is accepted. Even there is some disagreement at times, that is not taken very seriously. In this way, in mature life they become happy. I want to introduce this system in the Western countries, amongst my disciples at least. Their primary business should be Krishna Consciousness. Other relationships are mundane and therefore not very important.
|Sri Jayadayal Dalmia has requested me to send you our edition of Bhagavad-gita As It Is because you are collecting all different editions of the Gita. In this connection I beg to inform you that I have already sent one copy directly to Hanuman Prasadji Poddar, but have received no acknowledgement as yet, although the book was sent sometime at the beginning of this year.
|According to our Vedic civilization, disagreements between husband and wife is not taken very seriously. But the modern age allows divorce even, either by the husband or by the wife. These things are not good. But after marrying, certainly there will be some disagreement or misunderstanding between husband and wife. So consider all these points, and you can decide yourself. But if you marry, I have no objection, as I have gotten married so many boys and girls and they are living peacefully.
|Regarding the Prasadam restaurant, if you start this, you should do it only in the temple. Not in another place. People there know about out temple; it is old enough. So if they come at noontime to take Prasadam, that is very nice.
|Regarding your coming to me, you are always welcome, and your association is always desired.
1970 - November 26
|There are innumerable departments of knowledge being presented in the universities, but there is no department of knowledge for understanding the science of God, Krishna and therefore we want to introduce such a department of knowledge.
1972 - November 26
|Anyone who knows that the living entity, soul, is avinasi, indestructible, then where is the question of killing? But that does not mean the Bhagavad-gita is encouraging killing. No. That is not the purport. Killing is prohibited. But when we see that a brahmana is killing one animal in the sacrifice, it is not killing. Therefore we have to see with the eyes of Vedic knowledge.
|Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja (BG 18.66). We say, we are preaching this cult: "Be Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Just become a devotee of Kṛṣṇa. Offer your respects..." You have to offer your respect to anyone. You are not supreme. You have to flatter somebody to get some service. That is an... Even if you get nice position, you have to flatter.
|So kṛṣṇa-kīrtana is so nice that you can become favorite both for the gentle and the rascal. It is so nice. That is actually happening. So dhīrādhīra-jana-priyau priya-karau nirmatsarau. Because those who are chanting, kṛṣṇa-kīrtana, they are nirmatsarau. They are not envious. Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is not limited therefore in India. It is for the whole world. We are not envious we only see Indians will learn it. No. We have no such program. Tri-bhuvane mānyau. It should be honored all over the world. This is kṛṣṇa-kīrtana. Go on.
1973 - November 26
|As far as your grhastha community committee, I have no objection as it has the approval of Karandhara prabhu and he is there for you all to take advice from. One thing is though that we should not take such meetings and committees too seriously, as in the ultimate capacity our chanting is the only thing that will save us.
1974 - November 26
|When I take this Bhagavad-gita book, I see one picture, that Krsna is so kind that He has taken the chariot driver, sarathi, of Arjuna. He is His devotee. So Sri Krsna is so kind that He can accept the position of a servant because Arjuna was ordering, 'Keep my chariot here,' and Kṛṣṇa was serving him.
|The materialistic persons, they are simply busy for satisfying the senses. Go to the hotel; satisfy the tongue. Go to the cinema; hear the cinema song, see nice girls, and so on, so on. But these devotees, they are not interested at all. The cinema is here, a few steps away, but you will never see a student or a disciple of Kṛṣṇa consciousness will go to that nonsense place. Practical you can see. Why it has become possible? Bhaktyā pumāñ jāta-virāga aindriyāt. It is practical. The more you engage yourself in devotional service, the more you will forget your sense gratification process.
|This is to inform you that I, the undersigned, am the Founder-Acarya of ISKCON and the world leader for all of its branches. I have appointed 12 direct representatives to manage different sectors of the world, and they are known as Governing Board Commissioners.
|You are one of the elder students, so you should be careful to always set good example for the others. Maya is undoubtedly very strong, and we have to be very vigilant like soldiers in a fortress. We should not let maya enter into our activities, but keep all of our activities Krishna conscious.
|They are saying that Swamiji is doing nice things. So it is up to you Europeans and Americans to push it all over the world, and one day you will be the leaders of the world. It is not difficult. You just have to work sincerely and intelligently. Krishna will do everything.
1975 - November 26
|If you have got faith in the person who has got eyes to lead you, then he will help you to cross the road. And if you put your faith to another blind man like you, then it will cause disaster. Faith is required, but to the right person. Then it will be all right.
1976 - November 26
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
|"So we should be very careful. We have got this opportunity of understanding Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We should not waste a single moment without Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Avyartha-kālatvam (CC Madhya 23.18-19). That is advised by Rūpa Gosvāmī. Every moment we shall count, "Whether I have wasted it or utilized it?" This is life."
|761126 - Lecture SB 05.06.04 - Vrndavana
|There is an English proverb like that, "yielding to the new." But the Vedic civilization is that "Do not try to invent some order. That will create disturbance. Be satisfied. Whatever you have got by nature's way, be satisfied. Don't spoil your time. Save time for Kṛṣṇa consciousness." That is Vedic civilization. That is the purpose of life, the valuable life.
|You, Bhavananda and Prabhusvarupa may be the signers. Any 2 or 3 may sign on the cheques.
|Where is the site plan? Give me the length and breadth of the site. I can give it to Saurabha. He'll make a nice building plan.
|After the 16th year of the disciple or son, he should be treated as friend because if you chastise when he is grown up then he will break up- that is also another risk. So our request is that instead of chastising, with folded hands I request you, don't you become hippies again by growing hair. Keep your head cleansed at least once in a month. That is my request. Neither I can chastise you, I am an old man and you are young men.

Note: This post contains spoilers relating to the Netflix film 'Bird Box.'
Netflix's psychological horror film "Bird Box" has had the internet chirping since its debut on the streaming service less than a week ago.
Internet and WWW
Life forms
Social media
In "Bird Box," Sandra Bullock stars as a woman who undertakes an arduous river journey to save her two children from a threat that has left much of the world in a state of chaos and resulted in mass suicides.
Some of the film takes place in flashbacks, as a pregnant Bullock finds a small group of people with whom to survive and figure out the new world order. They live in constant fear of being exposed to the outside world and strangers because encounters with either increase the risk of being affected by the mysterious force that has the power to drive people insane.
To protect themselves from it, they block out windows and wear blindfolds if forced to venture outside. Birds also serve as something of an alarm system.
The sensory deprivation experience by the characters serves well to build suspense, but has also been a gift to the social media gods, with the birth of countless memes in the movie's aftermath.
They range from jokes about what temptations would get people to remove their blindfolds to some spoilery takes on the film.
thers imagined what the world what be like in the event of a mass pandemic.
One thing most would agree on, however, is that the memes are much more fun once you've watched the film that has turned out to be the unlikely hit of the holidays.

Some of the messages we've presented have taken the position that Christians can apply their faith in such a way that they can still work within the system they've inherited.Other messages have stressed that Christians need to be much more counter-cultural.Why It's Weird The Christian dating experience is terribly awkward.Yet somehow (surprisingly), Christians have figured out a way to make it even worse. Let's call this advice "the sibling rule," taken from Paul's advice in 1 Timothy 5:2 to treat "younger women as sisters, in all purity." "Treat her like your blood sister" is a saying that is often used to encourage strong physical boundaries between dating singles in the church.For the past 100 years, the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) has received God's love, guidance, and abundant blessings, allowing the Church to span the globe, and to continue to hold on firmly to the teachings of God found only in the Bible.Join us as we celebrate God's blessings to the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ), reflect on why we should celebrate and together, look onward to the promises God has for His people.The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) is a Christian religion whose primary purpose is to serve and worship the Almighty God based on His teachings recorded in the Bible.The Church Of Christ is a church for every one who will heed the call of God and embrace its faith — regardless of one's nationality, cultural background, social standing, economic status, and educational attainment.
The people are very sincere and all under mind control themselves.We have taken the beautiful doctrine of adoption and made dating basically unbearable by pushing Christian brother-sister language. And, while it is trendy and slings a verse that seems straightforward in a sound-bite-theology world, something doesn't sit right about the rule.Isn't it strange to regulate the Christian dating process by making it quasi-incestuous?The Church Of Christ adheres to the unadulterated teachings of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ written in the Bible.The faithful firmly believe that this Church is the fulfillment of biblical prophecies on the true Church Of Christ in these last days for man's salvation.

Encyclopedias attempt to summarize the state of knowledge in a given field of inquiry. That field of inquiry is usually defined in the title. For example, the Encyclopedia of the Mexican American War summarizes what is known about this conflict (as of the date of the encyclopedia's publication!). Encyclopedias not only give you the broad overview of the field, but they often recommend sources (usually secondary sources, but sometimes also primary sources) to consult for further research.
If the Library does not have the book you need, or else the book you need is charged, then you should next search the:
There's a separate catalog for finding online journals, and if you're looking for a journal article, it's best to begin here:
Search for the title of the journal, not the title of the journal article. If the journal you need (or the specific issue of it) is not available online, then search in the main Library Catalog (see above).

Hello mam, can I use artificial sweeteners for weight loss?
Can I use sugar-free tablets during pregnancy?
Should I give sugar-free tablets to my son who has type 1 diabetes?
These are some frequently asked questions by patients in our clinic.
Let's learn more about these artificial sweeteners.
What are artificial sweeteners?
Artificial sweeteners are synthetic sugar substitutes that are used instead of regular table sugar (sucrose). They may also be derived from naturally occurring substances such as herbs or sugar itself. Artificial sweeteners are also known as intense sweeteners because they are many times sweeter than sugar.
Uses for artificial sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners are widely used in processed foods, including:
- Soft drinks, powdered drink mixes, and other beverages
- Baked goods
- Candies
- Puddings
- Canned foods
- Jams and jellies
- Dairy products
Artificial sweeteners are popular for home use as well. Some can even be used in baking or cooking.
FDA has approved six artificial sweeteners for use: aspartame, sucralose, neotame, acesulfame potassium (Ace-K), saccharin, and advantame. Approval for two plant-based, high-intensity sweeteners: Stevia and extracts from monk fruit is under process.
Pros and cons of using artificial sweeteners:
- Artificial sweeteners add the sweetness to food the way natural sugar does.
- Compared to real sugar, artificial sweeteners have negligible calories, therefore claimed to have "No Calories" on the package.
- Before getting into a weight-loss diet, an individual can be familiarised to consumption of sugary foods and beverages. Stopping them altogether is difficult to many. The sweeteners help people slowly wean off from consuming real sugar.
- One benefit that makes artificial sweeteners famous is the low impact to the blood sugar unlike natural sugar does. This makes it a very useful tool in the management of diabetes.
- It's possible to use artificial sweeteners in many ways. For example, it might be added to coffee or can be used while baking cakes, making sweets.
- As well, to enjoy better oral health, one may find that choosing artificial sweeteners over real sugar helps to avoid tooth decay.
- Improving food appearance, color, taste, and texture are a few other benefits of artificial sweeteners.
- Most of the artificial sweeteners, with the exception of sugar alcohols and stevia, are synthetic chemicals (not found in nature). Our body is unable to absorb them.
- Artificial sweeteners may also lead to other cravings. Research has shown that the brain reacts the same way to artificial sweeteners that it does with sugary sweets. Consuming them often may lead to an increased desire for high-calorie foods.
- Some people may experience side effects like headache, nausea, dizziness, bloating etc.
Contraindications for using artificial sweeteners:
- Those with phenylketonuria (PKU) should avoid aspartame consumption.
- The American Dietetic Association states that children under 2 years of age, pregnant women and lactating women should not use artificial sweeteners, even though they are deemed safe by the FDA.
- More studies need to be conducted, but scientists believe that there is also a relationship between sweeteners and certain cancers, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, autism, and systemic lupus.
It is recommended that sugar substitutes be consumed in moderate amounts, adhering to the acceptable daily intake standards set by regulatory agencies.
Acceptable daily intake levels:
The FDA provides guidance for manufacturers and consumers about the daily limits for consuming high-intensity sweeteners, a measure called Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI). For artificial sweeteners, FDA has established an ADI as an amount in milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day (mg/kg/d), indicating that a high-intensity sweetener does not cause safety concerns if estimated daily intakes are lower than the ADI. E.g. Stevia (pure extracted steviol glycosides) has an ADI of 4
Moderation is key:
When choosing sugar substitutes, it is important to be an understanding the consumer. Sugar substitutes can help with weight management. But they aren't a magic bullet and should be used only in moderation. Keep in mind that processed foods, which often contain sugar substitutes, generally don't offer the same health benefits as whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables. A doctor or dietician should be consulted before adding these sugar alternatives to a regular diet to ensure that the benefits outweigh the risks.

Martinez, California (EastBayDaily) — http://www.saveamericagathering.com
"We have come this far by faith. We have been poured out, like a drink offering!" This from Robert Berry, one of the principal planners of the historic Save America Gathering, to be held on the National Mall in Washington, DC, October 20, 2012, from 8 am to 9 pm. Berry was speaking about the fact that virtually all expenses for the event to date have been covered by the planners out of pocket. "We have emptied ourselves out, on faith, believing what God has called us to do. We know from history that it is often only a remnant of God's people who hear from Him. We have proceeded anyway, on faith, because God is good, and He deserves us to make the supreme effort to satisfy His will by gathering His Church, in unity, for His good purpose."
Those making plans to join hands with the cause and attend the Save America Gathering are urged to register at http://www.saveamericagathering.com. While the event is free, organizers must know how many are coming. Along with registrations, volunteers are also needed. These include: staging, lighting and sound personnel; video and audio recorders; "green room" staff; trash collectors and grounds clean-up staff; first-aid station personnel, including off-duty doctors, nurses, CNA's, PA's, and other clinical staff; information station persons; crowd monitors; and off-duty police officers. Those who volunteer their services are partnering with Save America in a different way, by reducing the cost of hiring these personnel. Willing workers should indicate their availability when they register.
View the following videos for more information about the gathering: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu2NaKaj3n4, http://youtu.be/IrXoP3VZRUE
Berry went on, "This gathering is calling America back to its Godly purpose. We cannot be the nation we are supposed to be in the world unless we adhere to the principles upon which we were founded. The Save America Gathering has heard the call of God for His people to join in a Joel 2 sacred assembly, coming before Him in humility and repentance and crying out for His mercy on our land for how we have gone astray." Berry also recounted plans for the all-day event to pray blessing over those in authority, to reaffirm America's original covenant relationships, to honor and stand with Israel, and to bless young people by acknowledging the generational transfer of spiritual authority.
Organizers believe the nation is in a crucial season when believers who accept the Word of God must come together, as God's people, to deal with America's issues scripturally.
Berry continued his spirited explanation. "We challenge the Christian community to act now, in maturity and faith. Some people ask, 'Why isn't a big leader doing this?' Because they are busy with the big ministries they are running, clearly. Others question, 'Who are these people?' We are God's servants, called to do a monumental thing, for His glory! Others scoff, 'This is mission impossible!' But the scriptures say all things are possible with God—and this is surely a Kingdom work! The Word says we will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us, and we will be His witnesses. We would all be considered fools in the world, and we probably are," Berry laughed. "But such is the way for servants of God, even His Son. Remember, Jesus—Yeshua—came to us in the fullness of God's timing."
"It is now time to change, scripturally, the course of this nation," Berry continued. "The physical signs of calamity are apparent. The land is largely in drought. Earthquakes struck both places where our nation was founded. A tropical storm and another great tempest struck both places where our nation was founded. The aircraft on 9-11 struck the seats of our power in both New York City and Washington, DC. The hand of God is upraised!" he declared.
"We challenge Christian businesses to sow into this project and take advantage of the tax breaks before the end of the year. See if you can be all in, or at least make a significant donation. Don't forget, the Save America Gathering is operating under a 501c3 nonprofit association!" Berry emphasized.
Warming up, the retired Army Captain went on: "We challenge our Christian and Messianic Jewish brothers and sisters to partner with us and with God in the restoration of the land. Give what you can, if you believe in God's plan for America, and if you believe in addressing lostness in the world. I am trying to speak to your heart. Do you love God? Do you love the United States of America?"

Investigation of acoustic radiation force to clean stone fragments
Lim, Clement Jun Xian
Date of Issue2017
School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is used to break down kidney stones into small fragments that are able to travel through the urinary tract and subsequently dispelled from the body together with the urine stream. However, there may be small pieces of the kidney stones that will be stuck in certain areas of the kidney. The small pieces that are stuck can possibly be removed by applying acoustic radiation force from a transducer to move the stuck pieces away from the kidney. Studies have been done on the radiation force produced by an acoustic beam and how it will affect a sphere submerged in a fluid. In this report, an experiment is set up to investigate and study the acoustic radiation force acting on a submerged sphere by applying an acoustic beam to the submerged sphere.
