Welcome to the third part of our The ABCs of…Farming for Children series, where we take a look at how you can use farming as an educational tool to learn through playing (and of course actually doing it). If you missed our two part, please click here for A-F and here for G-L.
Milk – Cow juice is one of the staples in the farming culture and one of the products that is mostly connected with farms. And it is not just cow's milk you can get, but goat, sheep and even horse. You can drink it right then and there, but one innovation throughout the centuries was pasteurization to make it safe to drink the milk without any potential bacteria in it.
Manure – It is stinky business, but any farm with animals produces manure, the excrement of the animals, which is usually used in turn to fertilize the fields. So even if there are no animals around, farms might actually buy manure in order to fertilize. Manure contains plenty of nutrients for fields and crops (similar to the plant-based compost) and helps farmers to grow their crops.
Mouse – She does not necessarily serve any really big purpose, but can be found on each and every farm, sometimes even inside the farm, but mostly in the stables and the haylofts.
Meat – So meat comes from animals and animals come from…exactly, the farm. While it is never easy to slaughter an animal that you have known since birth, it is part of life on the farm, be it to sustain your own family or sell the meat for profit, so you can get a new machine or something else fixed. Many farms still raise their livestock the traditional way, without the use of growth hormones, antibiotics etc. Again this is a good lesson for children to see, where their food comes from, even though it also has the risk of them seeing the animals and not wanting to eat their meat anymore, so tread carefully…
Natural – Isn't that what food should be? If you have a farm or a farmer's market close by, you have a chance to buy produce, meats and breads from the farmers, made by them from the ingredients they grew themselves, it will hardly get much fresher and probably also hardly much healthier than that.
Needs – Farming takes care of one of the main needs of mankind – food. Just think about it – without farms producing food to buy in markets and grocery stores, we would be pretty hungry. So it is a very important life lesson for children to be able to see, where the food actually comes from, that there is more to it than just going to the store and buying something off the shelf.
Onion – A staple in almost every country's cuisine, the onion is both a very tasty and a very feisty kitchen companion. It comes in several varieties and can be used both raw and cooked, but almost all of them have one thing in common – they fight back by making you cry when cutting them (which, btw, is caused by a fairly complex chemical reaction that is started when onion cells are broken).
Organic – In times, where big agricultural corporations use growth hormones, steroids, antibiotics and genetically modified organisms to maximize production, organic farming has received a very big boost by gaining consumers' trust by using natural methods to rear livestock and grow fruits, vegetables and grains.
Peppers – There are many different kinds of peppers that are cultivated, from the "harmless" bell peppers to the fiery kinds of jalapeno, habanero or ghost pepper. Just like onions, many of them can be used both raw and cooked, they can be chopped, sliced, filled and much more, rich in vitamins and antioxidants (especially the red bell pepper) they are an excellent addition to your diet.
Pig – When children think about farms, most of them think of pigs. Pigs eating everything, rolling in mud, being dirty – pigs actually are very clean animals, they only defecate in a certain area of their sty, but they still love their mud :).
Planning – Planning is a very crucial part in running a farm, since you have to calculate cost, time and manpower in order to maximize the efficiency. Certain crops can only be planted at a certain time of the year, because otherwise it might be too warm, too cold, too dry or too wet, you have to calculate the time for harvesting and being able to have the manpower to do so, monitor your stocks of fertilizer, seeds etc. You also have to plan your day in order to make sure that you do not forget anything or cause delays for the animals, which are all used to a certain rhythm of feeding, milking etc. All of this makes farming a fairly complex matter, which is a role model in time management and planning overall, which gives children a very good insight in what it takes to keep everything working.
Planting – In order to harvest, you have to plant and there are different ways of doing so. You can plant seeds or you can plant already existing plants or trees, for them to grow and do their thing until it is time to harvest. Children love to plant things and then watch them grow and experience that something they put into the earth is growing into something looking very different to what it looked like when they put it in. Check out our post on Nico planting a tree!
Plow – The plow is one of the most important pieces of equipment on a farm, since it is used to dig the "trenches" that the seeds are going to go into. It started with man-pulled plows, then horse and ox drawn and finally attachments to a tractor to make it easier and faster to get several of them dug to expedite the sowing process. If you want to do a little farming in your backyard, you can have your child do it with a little shovel.
Pumpkins – Many children know pumpkins only as what is used for the jack-o-lanterns, but they are a very nutrient-rich vegetable that can be used in soups, in ragouts, cakes, muffins, pies, the dried seeds can be eaten as is or roasted, in breads or as garnish, so it is a very versatile vegetable that just has the added bonus of being very decorative as well. Have a look at Housing A Forest's post on a surprise they found within a pumpkin.
Potatoes – What would a farm be without potatoes? These "apples of the earth", as they are called in many languages, are robust, fairly easy to grow and they are an accompaniment for many dishes, come in shape of French fries, potato chips, mashed, roasted, cooked and more. They used to be one of the main foods, since they were easy to grow and are filling, so a good way to satisfy hunger for a relatively small price.
Quilt – You might wonder, what people on farms were/are doing during their very limited spare time. One of the most beautiful things are quilts, which usually consist of two layers of fabric and one layer of batting in between for insulation, so to say. Back in the "old days", buying fabric was expensive and making your own very time consuming, so it was important to preserve whichever fabric you could salvage from old blankets and clothes. So they used leftovers to arrange them into patterns and sometimes even pictures and sewed them together creating throws for the bed or just plain decoration with leftover fabric scraps.
Quality – Natural farming has lots of advantages over many of the commercial and even more so the processed options. Many farmers take pride in the quality of their products and we can greatly benefit from people, who put the emphasis on the right methods to ensure that only the best (and healthy) products are sold.
Responsibility – With tending to animals and plants also comes great responsibility, since the farmer has to make sure that they are fed, watered, tended to. Also equipment has to be kept up and employees have to be paid and taken care of. A good way for your children to learn some related responsibility is to have them plant a flower or some carrots or something like this in the spring and have them take care of the watering, the weeding and in the end the harvesting, they'll love it and be at it every day!
Rooster – Traditionally the rooster did not just have the job of being around the chickens, but the crow of the rooster in the morning really was used as the alarm clock for many people on the farm. Usually at the crack of dawn it would let out it's characteristic cockadoodledoo (or cocorico in French or kikeriki in German) and wake everybody up and get them going.
Rain – As I had mentioned earlier under irrigation, water is the central most important thing, not just on a farm, and rain in many cases is a farmer's best friend, since it brings much needed water to the fields (unless, of course, there is too much of it). Many farms also collect rainwater in big barrels to use for watering instead of having to use their wells, since the water is perfectly fine. You, too, can collect rainwater at home and use it for watering of plants or washing your car.
Resource – A farm is a highly important resource for food and other products that are required to keep the world turning. For many economies worldwide, farming is an elementary source of income and their economy overall, the American Midwest and the Canadian prairies are supplying much of the grain and other agricultural crops for their whole respective countries.

If you are or ever have been a college student, you know how difficult it can be to take notes in class. Sometimes the professor goes too fast, sometimes you're too sleepy, and sometimes you're just plain bored and would rather be feeding your Pinterest addiction. Well this semester, you are going to ROCK your note-taking. That is a FACT, my friend! So grab a strong cup of coffee and read on, because this is how you're going to rock it:
1. Highlight your Notes & Textbooks
I know this seems obvious, but I see so many notebooks and textbooks with zero highlighting in it. Come on, people! Please do yourself a favor and highlight the important information and definitions. I promise you'll thank yourself when you're studying for those midterms and finals!
2. Print out Slideshows
Most of the professors I've had (especially in lectures) upload their PowerPoint notes online before class. If you know your professor does this, take the time to print out the notes before class. You'll have less to write down, which means more time for your highlighting! Plus writing your notes on the lecture slides is a lot more efficient than reviewing the slides online later. The more you can keep your notes in one place, the easier studying will be.
3. Doodle!
Despite what your elementary teachers might have told you, it IS okay to doodle in class—as long as you're still paying attention. In fact, as an artistic soul, doodling has been the only way I survived some of the classes I've taken. If you get bored during a lecture, refocus by creating doodles that are on topic (such as diagram drawings with labels, or drawing important things in big bubble letters). If you're in a long lecture class with no breaks, I think it's perfectly okay to give your mind a small break with off-topic doodles—as long as you don't let yourself miss any important information and you're able to refocus yourself. A quick doodle break is much better than letting your mind get distracted with social media!
4. Learn to take Cornell Notes
Cornell Notes are a type of note-taking where you set aside the margins of your page for questions over the material you're learning. I like to make up the questions as I go so that when I study my notes later, I already have study questions to get me thinking. It really helps to cover up the notes and see if you can answer the questions before studying them, that way you get a good idea of what you already know as well as what you need to study.
5. Use Note-Taking Apps on your Phone, Tablet, or Laptop
If you prefer taking notes the new-school way (I've tried this many times, and I always, inevitably, end up on Pinterest), there are so many apps out there to assist you. From what I've seen, the apps that cost a little money are usually worth it in the long run (if you can keep yourself off Pinterest, that is). If you have a professor that goes super fast and doesn't post their slideshows online before class, you could even use your phone, tablet, or laptop to record the lecture (audio or video) to watch later. There are note-taking apps that will record audio while allowing you to also take notes, but if you don't want to deal with downloading new apps you could always use the recorder or camera that comes with your phone.
What are your note-taking tips? Please share with us!

A fragmentation of the European market would contradict the competitiveness agenda. Should the EU consider rules emissions zones, these should only be based on the next mandatory Euro standard 6/VI. This is expected to accelerate fleet renewal.
Automotive suppliers and manufacturers might be asked to develop vehicles addressing the particular needs of low-emission inner cities, for which the market can be expected to remain fragile. Instead, competitiveness in Europe depends on exploiting economies of scale.

Unsere Villa ist ein Ort, um sich auszuruhen, schlafen, lesen, essen und zu generieren und ist voll von Liebe und große Lebensmittel.
Die Villa verfügt über eine Atmosphäre von Charme und Privatsphäre.
Stichwort: Villa
I stayed at The Yellow Canary for a long weekend and it was wonderful. The villa is beautiful and very comfortable. Joan and Sandra prepared delicious meals. Johnny and Curtiss were great, welcoming and helped show us around. The beach is less than a block away. Just perfect!
I stay at the yellow canary, for 4 days. My stay was great and our cook ms Joan was amazing. She helped with our groceries and her cooking is superb. Only complaint I have is no air conditioning in living room, so couldn't was the daybed at night. I recommend bringing bug spray, lots of mosquitoes at night. The beach is steps away from the house and is beautiful. The outside decor is very relaxing to I sit outside. I would definitely stay again on my next visit.
My family enjoyed a perfect long weekend at Yellow Canary! Iris was an amazing hostess and cook and Curtis took wonderful care to make sure the property was in great condition every day. We felt so taken care of and loved seeing their smiling faces everyday.
We were able to use a pack and play and highchair for our 9 month old son which was great so we didn't have to bring our own. The beach was spectacular and Leroy's bar was a perfect place to spend Saturday evening listening to live reggae music.
Johnny and Turbo drove us to the Blue Hole and Martha Brad River Rafting which we thoroughly enjoyed. We hope to be back!
Thank you!
I loved everything about my stay at Yellow Canary. The house is even better than pictured and just steps from an amazing beach. Picture yourself taking a deep breath on a beautiful white sand beach with crystal clear water because this is what you get just steps from your front door.
Veronica has created a very peaceful place. The beds are comfortable, staff are reliable and friendly, excellent wifi, ac and ceiling fans basically all of the comforts of home. She has some really amazing gardens, very well tended by Curtis. Everything was so easy. We will definitely be back.
We have been coming to the Yellow Canary in December for five years in a row. Iris, Sandra, and Curtis are now like family. The first four years we vacationed by sharing the villa with friends. The villa and grounds are such that even with two couples there is plenty of room for alone time when needed but adequate space for communal dining or card playing. The two main bedrooms are air-conditioned master suites with very comfortable beds and bedding.
This year we turned our annual vacation into a 13 person family affair crossing four generations. We rented two other villas in close proximity to Yellow Canary. Iris coordinated with the other two housekeepers for activities, grocery shopping, and a group birthday celebration dinner.
We look forward to returning each year to our Jamaican family and the Yellow Canary.
Just steps from white sand beaches! Miss Iris prepared delicious Jamaican dishes for us: Jerk Chicken, pineapple crepes, fritters, fresh barracuda, callaloo, fried plantain, ackee and salt fish, fresh local honey bananas, rice and peas in coconut milk. She also made sorrel for us to drink and the Jamaican Mountain coffee was the best. What a treat! Groceries costs (excluding alcohol) came to about $160 for the two of us for the week. she also is very knowledgeable about the island and places to go. Each day Curtis came to maintain the beautiful garden, was joyful and friendly. He was also helpful in telling us the best place to snorkel. The new driver Loris was a very careful driver with a late model Toyota van. Be sure to bring enough cash with you as both groceries and the driver require cash. Best to go with U.S. dollars (ATM is available at Scotia Bank in Falmouth). Be sure to check on prices to drive places as the driver was one of the most expensive parts of our stay, but worth it since we would not consider driving ourselves in Jamaica.
Be sure to visit Good Hope Plantation and take the house tour. We went snorkeling off the beach near the villa and saw several fish and a stingray. We loved the Dolphin show in Ocho Rios.
In der Nähe Sehenswürdigkeiten und Aktivitäten. Nur 10 Minuten Fahrt von hier ist Falmouth Town, die eine alte historische Stadt mit schönen alten Gebäuden, Kirchen, Geschäfte, ein Krankenhaus und eine große Markt ist. Einige der größten cruse Schiffe legen hier 3 mal wöchentlich. Historische Plantagenhäuser, wie Good Hope Great House und Rose Hall sind sehenswert.
Dunns River Falls, Schwimmen mit den Delfinen und River Rafting Abenteuer sind ein Muss und werden in Ocho Rios entfernt.

The People Who Threw Me a Life Raft When I Spoke About My Pain
There isn't a day I don't feel anxiety to a varying degree. It could be a whisper of existence while I walk into a store or a loud thunder when I have to drive somewhere out of my comfort zone. It could be a breeze like flutter that blows by when I have walk into work from the parking lot or can be a crashing wave when I'm home all alone with my thoughts.
My anxiety is like two opposites.
I have days where the light, sunshine and warmth radiate happiness and I can live with the low level static noise of anxiety. On those days I just might feel a flutter of butterflies in my stomach if I have to make a phone call. It doesn't really affect me. I'm happy and thriving, loving life and "high-functioning."
I have days that feel dark and lonely and full of fear. On these days I feel like I am being attacked with irrational thoughts and fears. I just do my best to get through each day one thought at a time. Often during these times, I am staying close to home, spending longer times meditating, reading and doing what I can to get through. I'm talking to people in the Mighty Community and trying to just keep my head above water.
What I always try to remember during those days is "this too shall pass."
Living and thriving with anxiety is just something I have gotten used to. It is part of who I am.
It has helped me be compassionate and caring to others who have anxiety. It helped me to be supportive and encouraging while I was a counselor. It continues to allow me to offer insight and awareness to others trying to understand what it's like.
It has brought me valuable meaningful friendships with others who "just get it."
I can't tell you how many times I am able to recognize the silent symptoms of anxiety. I understand the language of fidgeting, hair twirling, feet tapping, avoidance of eye contact many people with anxiety get. We have a silent language people with anxiety learn.
This knowledge is a gift. I never used to feel this way, but anxiety has made me a kinder person. It has allowed me to take my experiences of the hardest days I have survived and be a cheerleader for those feeling hopeless.
I trust others who have lived through similar experiences more than someone who just tries to understand from reading a few books or taking a few courses. There is much to be said for the phrases "I understand" and "I know what it's like." They offer a deep sense of relief.
I never used to talk about or share my days of struggle. Then one day I was drowning in my own despair and a kind stranger from the online Mighty Community threw me a life raft when I spoke about my pain. They said things like "me too" and "I know how you feel" and "you will get through this." I believed them because they opened up and shared similar thoughts, feelings and stories of survival. It gave me hope.
In this moment, I realized the value and importance of not just shining bright on your good days, but letting yourself be vulnerable enough to be seen on your bad days.
I can now throw this life raft to many others on days people feel they are drowning.
Together we get through this. When I'm well, I am source of strength for others and when I am struggling, I look to others to hold me up.
This is the Mighty Community.
It's what we do. It's how we are able to face our mental illness without shame and gives us an opportunity to pay forward the support we have be given.
We want to hear your story. Become a Mighty contributor here.

About Reggie Jackson
In 2002, Reggie Jackson, an electrician, was driving down North Avenue when he noticed a small building with an unusual name: America's Black Holocaust Museum. He decided to stop and go inside. He was met by an elderly gentleman who gave him a tour and talk that changed his life. That gentleman was Dr. James Cameron, the unsung civil rights hero who survived a lynching in Indiana in 1930 and founded America's Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee in 1988.
Reggie was studying to become a history teacher and recognized the value of the stories at the museum, stories largely absent from American history textbooks. Little did he know that day that he was to follow in Dr. Cameron's footsteps as a griot–a speaker and historian–educating the public about race and racism.
Shortly thereafter Reggie began spending most of his free time at the museum. He took training as a volunteer griot (docent) and began regularly giving tours to museum visitors. He has never stopped serving as an ABHM griot, even though the museum closed its facility in 2008, two years after Dr. Cameron's death. Reggie has continued to this day volunteering countless hours each week as a researcher, writer, and speaker working to eliminate racism by building the public's knowledge and engaging their conscience in Milwaukee and beyond.
Reggie has an amazing capacity to read, research, and absorb American history. He has a talent for synthesizing the material to make it compelling and meaningful for youth and adults from diverse racial/ethnic, socio-economic, and educational backgrounds. He was quickly tapped to become the Head Griot at ABHM and train the new volunteer griots, which he did as a volunteer for years.
His dedication to ABHM and its mission led to his being invited to serve on the museum's board, eventually becoming its chair in 2005. When the museum was forced to shutter in 2008, Reggie worked with a group of community volunteers to bring ABHM back to life as a virtual (online) museum. He helped form the Dr. James Cameron Legacy Foundation to operate the museum and other projects aimed at educating the public and combatting racism. Since 2012 he has served as the Legacy Foundation's board president.
In the past Reggie also represented the museum as a frequent and popular public speaker and diversity trainer at venues around the city, state, and even in other parts of the country. He continues to do so today. He is invited to a wide range of venues including public libraries, colleges and universities, corporations like Harley Davidson here and RBC Dain Financial in Minneapolis, and community organizations and clubs as varied as the Rotary, Jewish Community Center, Wisconsin African American Women's Center, and the South Shore Yacht Club.
During this past year, Reggie has drawn large audiences to his new 4-part series on Do Black Lives Matter? at libraries in Racine and Milwaukee. He has also been a facilitator of a 6-part film/dialogue series entitled Hidden History: The Black History You Never Learned in School as well as two consecutive book club discussion series sponsored by Rid Racism Milwaukee based on Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindedness and Daniel Hunter's Building a Movement to End the New Jim Crow.
Reggie has presented at national academic conferences, such as the Without Sanctuary conference on lynching at the Center for the Study of the New South at the University of North Carolina–Charlotte. He is also frequently called upon as a skilled facilitator of interracial dialogue. Most of this work is unpaid.
Reggie speaks on a wide range of topics that help the public understand the underreported history of anti-black injustice and its contemporary ramifications. His dynamic and insightful presentations lead people to reassess their views on race and become inspired to act to eliminate racism. A small sample of his subjects includes: The History of the N-Word; African Americans in Milwaukee; The Scientific and Medical Devaluation of Black Bodies; The Incredible Journey of Joshua Glover; and Anti-Racism Work: What Can You Do?
Reggie is an independent scholar who carefully researches his topics and develops excellent teaching tools. Liz Caldwell of the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities, who has attended several of Reggie's series, recently expressed a reaction common to participants: "He has given me insight into how Americans came to be divided by race….His scholarly, provocative presentations are at times hard to hear, but necessary in one's journey to unlearn racism…. Mr. Jackson has a way of tying many layers of history into a comprehensive story of how racism has changed its form but still remains present."
Jackson is also an accomplished writer. In 2014 the Zeidler Center for Public Discussion and the Greater Together project asked him to write "Reflections on 10 Key Issues" for their widely disseminated publication Building Thriving Community: Beyond Segregation in Milwaukee. As a scholar-griot, Reggie has curated exhibits in ABHM's virtual museum, such as War on Drugs–or War on Blacks? and Traces of the Trade: The North's Complicity in Slavery. ABHM's online exhibits reach thousands of viewers each year from around the globe, including students doing research for classes. Reggie also authored the Afterword in the soon to be released 3rd edition of Dr. Cameron's memoir, A Time of Terror: A Survivor's Story (in press).
In addition to his heavy volunteer commitment with ABHM/The Dr. James Cameron Legacy Foundation, Reggie sits on the board of the Zeidler Center for Public Discussion and the Wisconsin Humanities Council. He also serves on the Executive Committee of Rid Racism Milwaukee. These organizations recruited Reggie because he brings a keen intelligence, needed perspective, excellent judgement and expertise in issues of diversity, cultural competency, and racial justice.
Reggie has served for years as a volunteer coach for youth sports, which he does after a full day of working as a special education teacher with children in Milwaukee's inner city schools. He is also a devoted husband and father.

Clinical evidence for low intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT)
Low intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been studied extensively and large double blind studies are being undertaken to investigate its potential to treat erectile dysfunction in various cohorts. Studies are registered with the National Institutes of Health on ClinicalTrials.gov here. Over 19 studies involving shock waves have been registered and are listed here. The therapy is currently approved in over 20 countries and many hundred clinics worldwide.
Relevant papers are as follows:
Effects of Next-Generation Low-Energy Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy on Erectile Dysfunction in an Animal Model of Diabetes
Hyun Cheol Jeong, et al, November 2017
Research into the effectiveness of treatments of ED using ESWT can be more systematic using animal models. This study using three cohorts of 10 individuals conducted in Korea demonstrated that electromagnetic cylinder ESWT, the technology utilized in SONICWAVE treatment, helps restore smooth muscle function. Histological and immunohistochemical study shows restored levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1, cyclic guanosine monophosphate, and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) expression levels.
Low-Intensity Shockwave Therapy Improves Hemodynamic Parameters in Patients With Vasculogenic Erectile Dysfunction: A Triplex Ultrasonography-Based Sham-Controlled Trial.
D. Kalyvianakis, I. Mykoniatis, July 2017
A double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled trial of forty-six patients with ED thirty of whom underwent low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT). The study confirmed the beneficial effect of LI-ESWT on penile hemodynamics and the beneficial effect of this treatment up to 12 months. The result is objective and subjective documentation of the value of this treatment modality for men with vasculogenic ED.

Shockwaves for erectile dysfunction
A review in Nature of a study published in the Journal of Urology December 2015 by Kitrey, N. D. et al. on Penile low intensity shockwave treatment showing a shift of PDE5i non-responders to responders in a double blind sham-controlled study of 58 patients.
After treatment, 20 patients (54.1%) in the LIST group achieved erection hardness adequate for penetration compared with no patients in the sham group. A month after sham treatment, patients in the sham group were offered active treatment; 16 of these patients completed treatment and nine of them (56.3%) achieved erections.
Evaluation of clinical efficacy, safety and patient satisfaction rate after low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction: an Australian first open-label single-arm prospective clinical trial
Eric Chung*† and Ross Cartmill* 2015
LiESWT appears to improve erectile function, is safe and potential plays an important role in penile rehabilitation in men whom failed medical therapy.
Can low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy improve erectile dysfunction? A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Anne B. Olsen, Marie Persiani, Sidsel Boie, Milad Hanna & Lars Lund, Dec 2014
This placebo-controlled study over 5 weeks shows that 57% of the men who suffered from erectile dysfunction had an effect from LI-ESWT. After 24 weeks, seven (19%, active group) and nine (23%, active placebo group) men were still able to have intercourse without medication. This study shows a possible cure in some patients, but more research, longer follow-up in the placebo group and an international multicentre randomized study are needed.
Low intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction: a study in an Indian population.
Srini VS1, Reddy RK, Shultz T, Denes B. 2015
In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, LI-ESWT demonstrated a positive long term clinical effect with improvement in erectile function of Indian men with vasculogenic ED who were prior responders to PDE5i therapy. The efficacy and tolerability of this treatment, coupled with its long term benefits and rehabilitative characteristics, make it an attractive new therapeutic option for men with vasculogenic erectile dysfunction.

Does Low Intensity Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy Have a Physiological Effect on Erectile Function? Short Term Results of a Randomized, Double-Blind, Sham Controlled Study
THE JOURNAL OF UROLOGY, 2012, Vol. 187, 1769-1775
Vardi Y, et al.
This is the first randomized, double-blind, sham controlled study to our knowledge that shows that low intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy has a positive short-term clinical and physiological effect on the erectile function of men who respond to oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor therapy. The feasibility and tolerability of this treatment, coupled with its potential rehabilitative characteristics, make it an attractive new therapeutic option for men with erectile dysfunction.
Penile Low-Intensity Shock Wave Therapy: A Promising Novel Modality for Erectile Dysfunction
Yasmin Abu-Ghanem, corresponding author* Noam D. Kitrey,* Ilan Gruenwald,1 Boaz Appel,1 and Yoram Vardi
LIST is a promising novel therapeutic modality for restoring erectile function in men with vasculogenic ED. It is a safe and non painful treatment with a long-lasting effect on erectile function. Additional well-designed, randomized, large-scale studies are necessary to confirm these findings and to outline the optimal treatment protocol and the suitable candidates. 2014
Shockwave treatment of erectile dysfunction
Ilan Gruenwald,corresponding author Boaz Appel, Noam D. Kitrey, and Yoram Vardi
LI-ESWT is a revolutionary treatment of ED, and probably possesses unprecedented qualities that can rehabilitate erectile tissue. The clinical improvement in subjective erectile function together with the significant improvement in penile hemodynamics following LI-ESWT confirm that LI-ESWT has unique properties that may create a new standard of care for men with ED. LI-ESWT is both feasible and tolerable and without any adverse or unwanted effects. Its main advantage is its ability to improve and potentially restore erectile function in men with ED without additional pharmacotherapy. Hence, LI-ESWT is an appealing addition to the armamentarium of existing treatment options for ED. In the near future we hope that LI-ESWT will be used for the long-term clinical management of ED either as an alternative or as an enhancer to the current treatments of ED. 2013

The University of South Carolina has spent some time on the road the past two weekends.
The Gamecocks have spent about 40 hours on the bus traveling first to Estero, Florida and then to Olive Branch, Mississippi.
They logged 2,482 miles traveling back and forth to play games against Florida Gulf Coast, Tampa University and the University of Mississippi. That includes sleeping on the bus two nights.
But wait, there's more.
Two weeks earlier, the Gamecocks traveled to Nashville, Tenn. to play two games against Vanderbilt. Add 14 hours, 862 miles on the bus. That equals a total of 54 hours and 3,344 miles the Gamecocks have traveled since Sept. 19.
The back-to-back weekends, 40-hours-on-a-bus to travel to the outer edges of the South region has been the toughest, though.
The Gamecocks got to spend a couple of hours on Fort Myers Beach. The next weekend, they sampled Corky's BBQ, and got a quick tour of Memphis, Tenn. before playing Ole Miss – including a look at the Mississippi River, a first for several players.
But most of their weekend was spent on the bus.
Carolina will to travel to Athens, Ga. to play the University of Georgia on Friday – a six-hour, 346-mile round trip – before embarking on a much welcomed seven-game home stand.
Then it's back on the bus, to Rockledge, Fla. to play in Central Florida's Thanksgiving Showcase. But that's only a mere 7-hour, 464 mile trip. One way.

On Monday, November 25 I will be presenting a paper at the Society of Biblical Literature's Annual Meeting at the Religious Competition in Late Antiquity session. My paper is entitled "Exile, Identity, and Space: Cyprian of Carthage and the Rhetoric of Social Formation."
In his commentary on the letters of Cyprian of Carthage, G.W. Clarke rightly states that the bishop does not cite pagan authors in his writings: to underscore his reasoning Cyprian always appeals to the scriptures rather than to the classical canon. Yet Clarke also notes that traces of classical education appear in the bishop's rhetoric, and others have detected the influence of Stoic principles embedded within his arguments. Thus, while Cyprian radically opposes his pre-conversion life with his life in Christ and envisions clearly demarcated boundaries between Christian and pagan worlds, he nevertheless remains implicated in and inscribed by classical culture. The border between Athens and Jerusalem cannot be defined as neatly as he and many other church fathers believed.
Additional support for early Christianity's engagement with its cultural heritage can be detected in the ways that Cyprian, the Christian communities in Carthage and Rome, and Cyprian's biographer Pontius appropriate the varied discourses on displacement found within the pagan and Christian tradition. This paper will examine how Cyprian and his contemporaries mined the reservoir of topoi associated with exile and flight in order to define the appropriate response to imperial persecution and to establish the contours of the Christian community in its aftermath. Against those who viewed escape from persecution negatively and sought to construct a church of the martyrs, Cyprian and his supporters mobilize exilic motifs to defend his flight, to counter the support for an elite church defined by confessors and martyrs, and to establish the attitudes and behaviors necessary for inclusion in the "mother church." The literary archive on displacement thus provides the bishop and his contemporaries with a culturally conditioned framework to debate and clarify the dimensions of authentic Christianity. In the process, these discursive "practices" on identity and space produce a specific Christian social formation.

Back when I was president of Pinnacle Entertainment Group, we used to give the entire company the week off between Christmas and New Year's Day. Now that I'm back to freelancing again, I no longer have that luxury. There are deadlines to chase after, so things like extended breaks don't make a lick of sense. I have high hopes, though, that this will be the year I'll get well enough on track to think about things like long vacations.
This year, you see, I booked up lots of novels to write. Then I landed the gig with Playmates Toys for Marvel Heroes Battle Dice, and it was too good to pass up. This meant I had waaaaay too much to do. Still, it was a good kind of busy, and as any freelancer will tell you, it's hard to pass up work—especially if you've ever gone without.

"The plot of the movie, to the extent that it has one, revolves around a football team and a cheerleader."
That's how The Los Angeles Times describes "The Gangbang Girl #32," a porno shot on the turf of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 2001. So far, no one can say who allowed the movie to film under the lights at the taxpayer-owned stadium and national historic landmark, home of the USC Trojans and the spot where John F. Kennedy once accepted the Democratic presidential nomination."I was just in awe that we were at the Coliseum," the film's star, Mr. Marcus told the Times. "I've made movies for about 20 years and I've done a lot of things, but that one really stands out…. I mean, who gets to have sex on the Coliseum floor?"
Marcus told the paper he remembers filming on a cool night from around 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. In the film's earlier scenes, he pretends to be a quarterback, tossing a ball around while wearing a jersey featuring the logo of Anabolic Video, the production company. The film's credits say it was shot on Sept. 16, 2001.
According to the Times, the film included 40 minutes of group sex on the field, plus "non-explicit" scenes filmed in a locker room that did not make it into the final, 90-minute release. About half the movie was filmed at other locations.
So how did this happen? The stadium is run jointly by the city, county, and state. People familiar with the workings of the stadium say that gaining access to the field and lights "typically requires the approval of a high-ranking manager." But no one contacted by the Times could say who gave the approval in this case.
The Times has been reporting for over a year on financial irregularities and oversight problems involving the stadium's nine-member governing commission. Former General Manager Patrick Lynch resigned last year, and was indicted in March in a corruption case.
Earlier this month, facing insolvency, the commission voted earlier this month to surrender control of the facility to USC.

Form and Content
(Masterpieces of Women's Literature)
In the preface to this autobiographical/biographical work, the author makes an unusual request of her readers. While the events depicted are true and the individuals are real, Natalia Ginzburg asks that the book be read as a novel. In her reasoning, she cites the treachery of memory and records that come from a single point of view. Yet this personal family portrait, which begins with Ginzburg's remembrances of her solitary childhood and ends in 1950 after her second marriage, is more an autobiography than a novel. While following a generally linear time line, the author moves back and forth between historical events—the rise of fascism, World War II and the German occupation of Italy, and the privations of the postwar years—and her family memories. Stories about Ginzburg's parents and details of daily life are woven together with vignettes about relatives, friends, socialist and antifascist activists, and servants. Characters are called by their true names and, as in life, appear and disappear without regard for the conventions of a fictional plot.
The book opens at the family dinner table, as the author's stormy, impatient father thunders his disapproval of his children's table manners. The author's parents, Giu-seppe and Lydia Levi, and their five children, of which Natalia was the youngest, were socialists and, after Italian dictator Benito Mussolini took power, antifascists.
Her family members knew many political leaders in...

this week I am
So this past week I took a break from my daily practice. I know, I know. I was just on vacation, what the hell, right?
Yeah, well, what can I say… vacations make getting back into routines a bit challenging!
Actually though, the break turned out to be a good thing because it made me realize a few things about the influence my practice has on me in my life. And it's greater than I thought it was. So that's a good thing to know!

practical magic blog party
The box is an upcycled box that I found at a Value Village and whitewashed, sanded, whitewashed again…
A little closer look:
It was fun and I'm looking forward to hiding some of my magical pieces away in my new special magical jewellery box!

pagan art journaling {week 34}
At this point in your practice, what would you say to the gods if you wrote them a letter?
Monday, September 19, 2011
this week I am
- So much stuff my brains hurt! 3s, spirits, paradoxes. Imagination vs Reality. Big stuff. Also, what colour am I gonna paint my new craft room when we move. So little stuff too.
- But mostly work stuff. Disabilities, Diversity and video making projects. Have I mentioned lately, now that work politics have settled, how much I love my job? Cause I do. I love working in education. I love seeing students grow and flourish. I love being a part of an individual's life in such an awe inspiring way. And I love that I get to use technology in order to teach and realize projects that help students think and self-actualize. Yes, I love my job! I meet amazing students every day (even in and amongst the schiezers). Every day students challenge me to see the face of the gods in them and at work through them. It's an amazing microcosm of the universe!
Feeling & Realizing:
- More grounded and zen. Which is good. Yay for zen!
- Feeling a bit guilty for utterly failing in my 30 days of yoga challenge. But c'est la vie. Shit happened, I'll try again a little later!
- That I'm about to complete my year and a day training with my coven. (yes, I know I just talked about how much you share and don't share with others in a way that some of you took to mean that I am a solitary, but I'm not and I'm sorry if that got lost in translation. After years of going it alone, I am now one of those people who can say that sometimes there is truth to the idea that when the student is ready, the teacher will emerge. I'm incredibly blessed to have a community that is becoming family to me). But wow. I've spent a lot of time in the last months thinking about this moment. About initiation. Wondering if it's what I really wanted or not and ironically, somehow, the chaos of my father's death helped me clarify what I wanted in some very real and tangible ways. I'm excited. And nervous. And excited. And a little scared. But mostly just excited! (I think I may have also had too much coffee today).
Planning & Creating:
- More Mexican vacation minibook pages
- This week's pagan art journaling prompt. What to do, what to do... What is closest to me right now... So many ideas!
Viewing, Reading:
- Haven (tv show). I'm seriously addicted to shows about paranormal shit. Seriously. Especially cause this one occasionally goes all meta and makes references to xfiles. Yeah, that rocks!
- ABC of Witchcraft
- Chicken Qabalah. Yes, still for both of these books!

Mexican Adventures mini-book
So I decided to try my hand at making a mini album/scrapbook of my trip to Mexico and share some of it with you. I like the idea of using an old book and up-cycling it, particularly because this one is called "Race around the World". I know it has nothing to do with paganism, but I could probably find some link, you know, having to do with Mayan culture and prophecies, or nature, so something… so let's just go with that… yeah!
Us, on Paradise beach, jumping for joy:
I had this package of travel quotes that I've been sitting on forever and so I am going a little overboard just trying to use them!
Bonding with the local wildlife on our trip to a Mayan village and the Cenote:
And last, but not least, some cactus graffiti!
And most of these (except for the 1st two, all come from one day of adventures)!

what do you share with others?
In fact, during my vacation with my best friend, I actually had a somewhat heated discussion on this topic. She's frustrated that I don't really talk about my training and spirituality with her but I find it hard to talk to her about it because so much of it is stuff she can't really relate too.
Her response: "just because I'm not doing it, doesn't mean I can't understand it."
But here's the thing. I don't know that she can really understand it. She can listen. And give feedback. But since I so often end up feeling like her feedback/response reveals that she hasn't really grasped the nuances I'm trying to convey, I just end up feeling like we're having 2 different conversations with me explaining, rationalizing, qualifying, etc. So now I tend to avoid the topic because it just becomes a one sided conversation with too much of an uneven balance.
And sometimes, well to be honest, it just feels like to much work to teach first in order to have a conversation about a given topic. Sometimes I just want to talk to someone who already has a framework to understand what I'm working on or puzzling out. I teach all day and there are days that I just want to leave my teacher's hat to the side and have a shared dialogue or be taught. Sometimes it's just draining to be the one who is always giving more in the conversation in terms of knowledge and inspiration.
On the other hand, maybe I do her a disservice and I prevent the gods from using others to teach me things because of this. But I can find it very hard to share the revelations, discoveries, or practices (sensations, progress, and road blocks) with others, particularly those who have no experience or context to base their listening/reactions upon. Its one thing to talk about guided meditation or your study of mythology, but another thing entirely to start debating the theoretical nature of Goetic spirits (are they good, evil, should you explore or leave them alone, etc) or the subtle differences in energy you felt in last week's practice that felt like a fantastic breakthrough, only to have the gods knock you back on your ass and ignore you this week. You know?
How do you deal with these issues? Are they issues for you? Some days I love my path, and others, well I find it a bit alienating because of this. What about you?

wading out of the muck...
Curious to know more about what's been going on with your's truly? Be forwarned, things have been messy in Faye land.
Here goes:
I moved my baby brother out of the house. After a little over 1.5 years of him living with us and getting his shit together, we have successfully reached the point where he is capable of going back to school and building his own life again. Depression, anxiety, coming out of the closet, short term memory problems related to being in a coma, and learning to cope with ADD as a student :it's been a long haul getting him back to a place where he is confident and autonomous. So this September marks a huge milestone in his life and a turning point in my marriage, in that my husband and I were only married 3 months before he moved in with us. It's nice to be able to just be us again. And it's nice to see my brother out in the world, chasing his own dreams.
My very good friend with Cystic Fibrosis has been struggling with meds for the past year and was in need of a break away from things and a good pick me up after being on some rather brutal and draining treatments. So we booked, 3 weeks ago, totally spur of the moment vacations to the Mayan Riviera in Mexico. As a teacher it was a terrible time to go on vacation, but I managed to work things out and so we flew off to Mexico for a week in the sun last week. (Let's not even talk about the fact that our down payment is due mid Sept for our house).
Of course, life being ironic and all, the trip that was meant as a morale boosting adventure for my friend, ended up beng a much needed break for me too. It was like the gods knew what was coming my way and the universe set me up for the time away that I needed.
First, work politics exploded. Then my car broke down, twice. I love my little blue lovebug, but damn is she a high maintainence car! And then, my biological father died. I'll spare you the details beyond the quick run through but suffice to say that the time away was much needed!
So last week I enjoyed some quality time with one of my nearest and dearest, while doing:
- ziplining through the jungle
- atvs
- swimming in a cenote
- seeing a ginormous tarantula in the bathroom in said jungle
- visiting Mayan ruins like Coba & Tulum
- visiting a rural Mayan village and watching a monkey steal chiclets from the car and then eat them
- swimming in another cenote.
- seeing another tarantula on the road!
- snorkelling
- sailing day trip
- swimming with a shark (which is totally cruel... had I known how bad it was I would never have done it)
- eating new Mayan (vegetarian) cuisine (which was yummy but totally unlike anything I'd eaten before)
- watching a fire show
- beach, drinks, swimming...
- and having lizards in our hotel room
- pottery painting of our very own souvenirs (I painted a cool candle thingy... I'll take a pic and share later)
- shopping! (less than expected but still... I admit it, I have a shopping problem. I'm working on it)

pagan art journaling {week 32}
There's just something about a rainy day for me. Maybe it's because I'm a wet west coaster, but rain is soothing and makes me think. I love it. My best ideas come to me on quiet, rainy days.
There are lots of things that inspire me, but rainy days in the fall are my favourite. They make me stop and think and ground myself again.
What about you? What inspires you creatively and spiritually?

Godzilla's tail is one of the best features about him. Its usefulness in the movies is uncontested and it just looks so cool. I wanted the tail to be long, realistic and have motion. I was hoping I could make the tail move a little from side to side or even swish up into the air a couple of feet. I thought of running wires, but it could get caught on objects or worse some poor person could lose a finger! I'm sure there is a way to use a motor to make it move but I didn't have the time to devise such an elaborate device.
To get flexibility and keep it's shape I decided to cut a bunch of 'discs' out of foam that got progressively smaller as they got closer to the end of the tail.
At the end that would connect to the suit I used a larger, sturdier piece of foam that would be the female connection point. I spaced the discs out evenly and jammed white pillow stuffing in-between each one. This gave the tail a nice shape but also kept it light and flexible.
To keep it all together I used the gray stretchy fabric which I spray glued to the discs. I would spray a small section of the foam and pillow filler with the spray glue then quickly wrap it. I used a clamp to help hold each section so I could keep moving down the tail and used fabric glue to make the final connection when sealing the tail up.
Many of Godzilla's dorsal plates are on the tail so before I added the gray fabric I glued pieces of poster board to the discs. This pictures shows an abandoned idea with thicker sections for the tail, but the poster board idea is the same. I wanted to make sure the dorsal plates couldn't be knocked off or even pulled off so I placed multiple pieces of poster board in the shape of an upside down T. For each of the large dorsal plates there is a piece of poster board that it attaches too. I partially split the spine at it's base so it would fit over the poster board and secured them all with spray glue.
Because the tail will be dragging across the ground 100% of the time I knew I needed something more sturdy than just fabric. I've seen people use little wheels and such but that just doesn't seem real enough. I bought some fake leather from the fabric store and cut it to size then used fabric glue, spray glue and even hot glue to secure it in place. The fake leather holds up great on pavement and through puddles so something sturdy like that is a must.
To secure the tail to the body I had the male/female connection prepared but if someone stepped on the tail it would just pop out. To really secure it I created a plastic bolt that goes all the way through both the tail's female connection and the body's male connection point. I purchased some thin plastic tubing and ran it through the middle of the male connection on the body. That would serve as the slot to easily slide the plastic bolt through.
Here's a final shot of the tail before adding texture and painting. It's not easy making it light, sturdy AND flexible but I think I did just that. I'm sure there are other ways to do it and if have any great ideas then please leave a message for other fans to read.
