"The Wyandotte Nation entrusted their land to the Methodists, in hopes that Methodists would give Wyandotte people's past a good future," says Rev. Duane Coates, board member of The Historical Society of The United Methodist Church and member of The United Methodist Commission on Archives and History. "I witnessed the return of the land by The United Methodist Church to the Wyandotte people. It was a moving, historical moment."
Rev. Duane Coates, who serves the United Methodist Church in Hettinger, North Dakota, was elected to an at-large position on the board of the Historical Society of The United Methodist Church. He joins 11 other board members from across the United States. Rev. Coates also serves as the chair for the North Central Jurisdiction's Commission on Archives and History, which recently met in Ohio to witness the inspiring, historical return of the land and conduct business.
The Commission members traveled to Upper Sandusky, Ohio to witness the denomination's return of land in a ceremony of remembrance, repentance, and reconciliation. As Wydanotte from Oklahoma, Kansas, and Michigan applauded, Chief Billy Friend of the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma accepted the return of John Stewart United Methodist Church and a nearby cemetery from Thomas Kemper, top executive, United Methodist Board of Global Ministries. "It's a miracle that the church is standing and is in the shape that it is today. That's a testament to this local community and to this group and their dedication and commitment to preserving not only their history but preserving our history for us," Friend said.

The United Methodist Historical Society meets annually at the site of one of the jurisdiction's Commission on Archives and History meetings. This year the group met in the South Central Jurisdiction in St. Louis, Missouri. The Society met the previous year at Dayton, Ohio, located in the North Central Jurisdiction, and next year will meet in the Southeast Jurisdiction at St. Simon's Island, Georgia.
The Society is responsible for the selection of the annual Saddle Bag award to the best Methodist historical book published in the previous year, a distinction that has been won by Dakotas Conference elder, Rev. Randy Maddox in 2013, for his book Doctrinal and Controversial Treatises on Soteriology. This year, the book, "Entangled," was by a young scholar, Ashley Bogan Dreff, and published by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry, of which Rev. Rebecca Trefz, director of ministries for the Dakotas Conference, is a member. The Society also awards an annual Ministry of Memory Award and publishes a quarterly newsletter.
The Dakotas Conference has an affiliated organization, The Dakotas Conference Historical Society of The United Methodist Church. The group hosts a forum and luncheon at the annual conference, also has a Facebook page, and is supporting the writing of Rev. Stephen Perry's Dakotas Conference History.

Schaeuble warns ECB on asset bubbles
(BERLIN) - German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble warned the European Central Bank on Sunday that a loose monetary policy runs the risk of causing asset bubbles.
"We can't just leave the avoidance of bubbles to government supervision," he told the Handelsblatt business daily. "Central banks also need to keep an eye on that in their decisions about the money supply."
Schaeuble, speaking in a joint interview with his French counterpart Michel Sapin, said that "in parts of the property market there are signs that bubbles are forming", reiterating earlier warnings.
But he rejected a French proposal for a targeted depreciation of the euro in pre-release extracts of the interview, which is due to be published in full on Monday.
"I do not believe in political discussions about the exchange rate, which is set by the market," he said, adding that government intervention had "never led to a good result".
Schaeuble backed the European banking union as a big step in the right direction and said he did not foresee major problems in the "stress tests" of the bloc's banking sector.
The EU's banking union, which is expected to become operational in November, will give the ECB the power to supervise eurozone banks and prevent bank failures.
"The examination of assets and the stress test are not yet completed. But the banks have raised a lot of extra capital," he said, adding that now "the risk of contagion is much smaller".
Sapin, meanwhile, stressed that Paris is committed to the strict deficit rules laid out in the European Stability Pact.
"The rules exist, the treaties exist. Nobody is challenging them, and I would not recommend it to anyone, especially not in France," he said.
"I want to stick to the European rules and, together with partners, find the right timing to lower our spending and deficits and at the same time support growth."
He also spoke out for the French candidacy for European economic commissioner, saying "it is legitimate that France holds an important position within the Commission".

Reliable book recommendations
Whatbook Limited
- Free
Whatbook is making books social again by helping people discover and share book recommendations with their friends, family, colleagues and the wider book community. Unlike many book cataloguing websites, Whatbook aims to make sharing the book you're reading both easy and exciting. We've also added podcasts onto the platform available for free streaming through the app.
We've launched Whatbook, but are constantly evolving the design and adding new features. Collecting direct feedback from our existing users, we plan to build the first social readia platform the way our users want it.
From the beginning we've encouraged users to rate the books they've read, with a simple thumbs up / thumbs down system. This approach gives us a quick binary score system that evaluates books the way we talk about them in real life.
Whatbook allows you to:
- Share more of what you're reading with multiple 'Currently Reading' slots on your profile page, for when you're not quite ready to quit on that book you started but need something a little lighter to get you through your morning commute.
- Love them or hate them, AUDIOBOOKS are now part of Whatbook. You can now select currently Reading or Listening on your profile, accordingly.
- Search for books you saw advertised, authors you've heard about, and other Readers on the platform.
- Build a virtual library of the books you've read, want to read, recommendations you've received from other users, and begin to build collections for specific genres or subject.
- Add to this "library" or simply search for a book within seconds using our ISBN scanner, which pulls up the book details and shows you instantly who among your friends has read that book, and whether they recommend it or not.
- ReRead a book you've previously enjoyed from your Whatbook collection.
- Receive in-app notifications, such as someone liking that you are now reading that book they recommended to you, and now we've installed our notifications centre to keep track of all those messages you might have been too busy to check out earlier.
- Reading challenges are now being added to the profile pages under Achievements. Now you can celebrate your 10,000 steps as well as reading your 80th book, devouring one of our growing list of Iconic books, or finally emerging from your latest book series.
- Stream your favorite podcasts directly from your Whatbook app and discover your new favorite podcast show

Developer Response ,
Thank you!
Confusing. Search does not work.
I keep looking for books to add to lists and I can't find them in search. I actually cant find anything in search. I do know these books exist in the app as ive found other users with said books. It haas great potential and i will continue to use it. I love this app so much already, but id like a functioning search tool.
Developer Response ,
Hello there! The issue you experienced with the search was due to high user demand overloading our servers and an issue that was fixed promptly by our amazing development team. We are happy to report that this issue is now resolved and hope you are enjoying the app otherwise.
I love the idea of this app but it has some major issues that can be very irritating. When I try to make or add something to a collection it never shows up on my profile. I also cannot find many books. I hope this can be fixed soon.

Hi Olivia! Thank you for the feedback. There will be a new version coming out within the next week to fix these issues. We hope you continue to enjoy Whatbook otherwise! If you have any more issues or feature suggestions please do not hesitate to email email@example.com

A: Don't do anything which may cause further corruption (including trying to initlaize, reformat, parttion, chkdsk or similar)
B: Find someone with a physical pc that still supports IDE, and try putting them in there, rather than an USB-> IDE Bridge.
C: If they still detect at a hardware level, but fail to show as valid drives, try scanning them with some _decent_ data recovery software that find damaged partitions, or recover files indpendently of the partitions.
D: If you don't mind waiting a bit, and paying postage, I'm happy to attempt to recover them for you (I live in Kapiti, so postage form Palmy should be fairly reasonable). If the drives are physically damaged it's beyond me (don't have a clean room or the specialist knowledge to rebuild them) but I know more about software recovery than many people who aren't recovery specialists.
E: Pay someone like datalab.co.nz to do a pro recovery, but be prepared to look at a bill of $1000+

Hard and Uncomfortable Orthotics?
Do your orthotics feel hard or uncomfortable?
Orthotics when they are appropriately prescribed and designed by a skilled Podiatrist should feel comfortable.
One of the unfortunate frustrations I often face is patients who have had orthotics that were incorrectly designed for their foot, their personal requirements such as the sport they play, and the condition being treated. Not everyone requires orthotics, and not everyone with flat feet requires an orthotic. If you do have a condition (pathology) such as a tendonitis (inflammation of a tendon) that is caused by the tendon being mechanically stressed beyond its physiological limits that it becomes injured then orthotics will be beneficial. Orthotics work by reducing the forces and the mechanical stress placed on structures such as muscles and tendons in the foot and lower limb so that they may heal and become painless once again.
Orthotics can be extremely uncomfortable and even painful to wear if they have been designed incorrectly for your foot.
Does it feel like tennis balls?
People will often complain that their orthotic feels hard or that they feel like they are standing with tennis balls under their feet. This has very little to do with the material that the orthotic is manufactured out of. It is to do with the orthotic applying too much pressure in the wrong area of the foot making it uncomfortable. If an orthotic has an arch built into it that is too high for the person's foot to tolerate the orthotic will feel hard. When an orthotic contours nicely to the arch of the foot and applies the right amount of pressure in the right position on the foot the orthotic will feel comfortable. Having the knowledge and skills required to do this successfully requires a person to be highly trained in biomechanics (the

So what exactly is meal prepping? For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, essentially it is planning and prepping your meals in advance for the day/week. This means cooking items such as meats, complex carbohydrate foods and vegetables in bulk. How much you prepare depends on how much time you have, how many meals you need and how many snacks you want to have during a day.
Prepping meals and snacks stops you from binge eating and dipping in and out of the cupboard to feed them hunger cravings. This is great for people who are busy all day and don't have time for individual meal cooking.
Start by planning the meals and snacks for the day/week as people's calorie intake vary as well as the need for different nutrients. For example a distance runner would need more carbohydrates in their meals to fuel their exercise where as a person whose goal is for weight gain and muscle build would be high in protein to help repair and growth.
I would usually choose a set day for planning the meals I would prep for the week and also go and shop for the stuff I will need. Sunday would be the day I choose and then prep for my days of work as these are the days when time is limited for cooking.
Meal prep is great for organising your days/week by sorting what meals you will take for training days and what meals you would have on none training days. This helps also for having meals ready for when you need that instant intake of solid protein alongside your supplement shakes as all you would need to do is pop to the fridge and take out the food prepped earlier and tuck in.

What a beautiful playground for kids of all ages! Renovated in late 2012, the Bonython Park Playground has a some very cool features not found in the typical suburban park. Some of the best equipment includes two 25m flying fox lines fun for kids of all ages and an extensive water play area complete with pumps, gates and a watermill. Kids love playing and experimenting with water and this is a safe and interactive water zone to suits kids as young as 1, while still entertaining the older ones.
The huge 'mouse wheel' can accommodate numerous energetic kids, there is a variety of swings and we love the wheelchair accessible carousel, water play troughs, communication boards and a nest swing that make this park a good one for kids of all ages and abilities. Mum and dad can enjoy plenty of shade and seating while they sip coffee from the kiosk right alongside!
The playground also backs onto a well kept oval for plenty of open space, has toilet and bbq facilities and a kiosk.
Opening Hours: Bonython Park Playground open all hours, parking gates close at 6pm.

With regards to comparative difference, the mean secretion amounts had been 46% (= 0.10) more affordable for IL-8 in thermally stressed EVPOMEs than in charge EVPOMEs, 41% (= Adrucil supplier 0.09) more affordable for hBD-1, and 45% (= 0.14) more affordable for VEGF. No difference was discovered between pressured and control examples in TIMP-1 focus (higher in charge by 39.7 pg/mL; = 0.15), but mean TIMP-2 concentration was higher by 80 significantly.2 pg/mL (= 0.02) in charge than in stressed examples. Similarly, stressed examples demonstrated 52% decrease (= 0.03) in mean TIMP-2 focus in thermally stressed examples weighed against control samples. In conclusion, just IL-8, hBD-1, and TIMP-2 showed a big change in the mean focus level statistically; however, all biochemical indicators showed higher amounts in charge than in stressed EVPOMEs thermally. Furthermore, we evaluated the discharge of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) into moderate as an signal of cell loss of life (Kahn et al. 2010). Nevertheless, LDH was at undetectable amounts despite our greatest efforts. Open up in another window Amount 1.

The beliefs from the test for variations in means were 0.04 for IL-8, 0.03 for hBD-1, 0.07 for VEGF, 0.15 for TIMP-1, and 0.02 for TIMP-2. Statistical analysis strategy is definitely detailed in the Materials and Methods section. Table 1.

Value= 0.008) in implanted thermally-stressed EVPOMEs than those in implanted control EVPOMEs. Lastly, when blood vessel counts were modeled using numerous markers in spent medium, we found VEGF and IL-8 to be significant predictors of blood vessel counts in implanted EVPOMEs (Table 2). Based on the model, every 10-pg/mL increase in VEGF was associated with a 48% (1.0410 C 1) increase in the expected blood vessel count, holding IL-8 level constant, while every 10-pg/mL increase in IL-8 was associated with a 54% (0.9410) reduction in the expected blood vessel count, holding VEGF level constant.

Conversation Selecting probably Adrucil supplier the most powerful tissue-engineered grafts to be used on patients prior to surgery is important to ensure ideal postoperative implant integration. Noninvasive and real-time dedication of EVPOME viability prior to implantation is definitely desired and required from the FDA.

The microchannel ELISAs Adrucil supplier showed a statistically significant decrease of selected protein secretion in thermally stressed EVPOMEs compared with settings. This difference correlated with histology assessments for epithelial.

Help seeing the other side, please
I talked to DH about YSS breaking the no electronics in the room rule now with a new computer. That it is fine if we change/rescind the rule but that is our decision. I said I wanted to talk to him about it anyway since the older two will be getting laptops for college soon.
He agreed and he also agreed that YSS broke the rule before we changed it and did not ask. And he agreed that YSSs extra electronics go away since he broke the rule and he can have them back on two weeks (about the time one of the older two will have a laptop). That turns out to be only three weekend days and maybe a night or two (since YSS is barely here due to DHs travel and his own sports stuff).
YSS copped an attitude right away so it didn't go smoothly for him. (Oh, and when we walked in the room he had a brand new monitor that wasn't here yesterday.) I didn't yell or swear or say anything mean and neither did DH but I was direct (when DH was starting to hem and haw) and didn't let a "but can't we discuss it" conversation happen (told him the time to discuss it would have been before he did it, not after). He was made to pack it all up and hand it over.
Later he was crying and DH went to console him. DH says he didn't back down and reiterated what was said, but from snippets it seems YSS accused him of being my pawn.
And the fun part of if DH was mad at me then for "making" him enforce the rule and he knows I "have fun" punishing the skids. First, enforcing the rule with no other repercussions is not punishment in my book. And, no. I don't have fun. This is most definitely not a part of my life I would call fun.
Just now DH told me that YSS is in his room and sad and it would be a good time for me to go in and mend bridges. Here's the dilemma: I don't know what bridge needs to be rebuilt. I get that he's upset and frustrated and mad, probably mostly at me.
I am willing to concede that I could have a blind spot and a bridge has to be mended. But since it's a blind spot I don't see it. Any advice or explanation would be appreciated. Im not gonna make a move until I see if I'm missing something. Any conversation right now would be pointless.

He's crying because he had to
He's crying because he had to turn over his electronics? Better call him a waaaaahmbulance!
And what are you supposed to say, "YSS, I'm sorry your father enforced a rule that he agreed to months ago but let you break for all this time. " Kids are SUPPOSED to be mad when they lose a privilege. That's kind of the point.
Your DH is a jackass, sorry. I don't know how you deal with him. Why make a rule you don't have the balls to enforce?
Yea, your husband is a
Yea, your husband is a jackass if he let that kid put it all on you and he didn't defend you as the authority figure working in tandem WITH him to make and enforce rules. He's a coward.
I'd tell your husband you're willing to have a three-way discussion with the kid -- all of you there. Tell your husband exactly what you intend to say and ask him if he has any problem with it. And this is what I'd say: "Your dad and I agreed on the rule you broke; your dad and I agreed on your punishment. I understand that you blame me more for that rule and punishment even though your dad agreed to it and that's because I'm not your parent, but I'm not going to do anything in this house that your father doesn't agree to. We make decisions as a team. You love your dad so you don't have to be as mad at him as you are at me, but just so you know, we decided together to take away your computer."
I think that's all the kid needs to hear at this point. Anything would only encourage more bad behavior.

This 16 year old needs to be discovered and sign a contract with some Hollywood agent or acting scout.
What a wonderful performance!
He is crying in the hopes of softening up his old man.Oh ! Woe is me poor widdle COD and the big mean SM has you wrapped around her finger and you choose to stand with her over your own child ! BooHoo.
Now give me back my laptap.
Tears magically disappear.
Really, WHAT is he crying about?
That is what DH needs to ask him.It is a big fat ploy and it is pathetic.
You have nothing to mend.And if skid is blaming you it is b/c he knows the button to push to get his father's ire up and in defense position. You are the enemy.
These skids were PAS'd at some point to regard you as the person standing between them and their fatherly love.
DH needs to be a father and not a friend to his almost adult children and he also needs to stand with you and keep a united front especially if house rules are being jointly created but a pass given or softened when one of his bios breaks the rules for everyone.
DH cannot expect RESPECT from his almost adult children OR from you when he presents himself as such a weak wishy washy wussy and just turns on a dime or a tear placating his son by throwing you under the bus agreeing you need to mend a fence you never busted.Geez.
Please kick your DH in the groin to check if he still has a pair..ok?
Thank you
All your comments—-that's what's in my head.
Now I have time for a longer response
My initial reaction was: ?! Why in the world would I need to go talk to him? He's upset duh, and it won't hurt for him to sit in his mess.
He is the king of tearing up to get his way. Has been since DH and I were dating.
He knows DH doesn't want them to ever be sad or be upset at him. According to DH he stood strong and yelled at YSS but it's obvious that what YSS said got to him and that I'm again the scapegoat for DHs bad feelings about the situation.
I am not going to "mend the bridge" as I crossed all the way over to address the issue and walked right back on that same bridge. The bridge is fine. YSSs side is just not as fun for a while. And I'm not setting myself up to be the sponge or scapegoat for his anger.
A long time ago when DS was little he told me he was really mad (about some rule or punishment). I said that that's fine, he can be mad, that's his option and it didn't bother me, but he has to follow the rule no matter how he feels about it. That took some air out of his little sails.
SS broke the rules.
SS first should apologize to you and DH. Then you can figure out what to mend ??? Doing your job in parenting SS. That he not special and does not have to follow the rules like everyone else ?

My family is relocating to the York area or northern MD during the summer. I currently live in Texas where homeschool laws are simple. My children have never ever entered the school system. I'm concerned that I may miss something, register late, not teach all the subjects or not do something to the evaluators liking and have truancy all over my case. I have 5 kiddos to boot and it seems like an awful lot of work for each of them. Im more inclined to move to Maryland because of this. However, because we are not familiar with either area, the plan is to rent near York/Harrisburg for a while then figure out where we really want to be. Right now, I'm making homeschool plans to be in PA for atleast the first year. Please give me insight into the laws and what I need to do to make sure I'm compliant. For ex, when do I need to submit affidavits? What if we are staying in a hotel for the first month or so? What if we end up moving after the school year began? What if we move before it ends? I know, so many variables! Would also like info on co-ops in the area, a la carte Co-op high school classes, homeschool youth sports and dance, foreign language, field trips. Any insight would be much appreciated! Natasha

From CDC https://www.cdc.gov/listeria/outbreaks/eggs-12-19/index.html "As of December 17, 2019, a total of seven people infected with the outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes have been reported from five states. A list of the states and the number of cases in each can be found on the Map of Reported Cases page. Listeria specimens from ill people were collected from April 10, 2017, to November 12, 2019. Ill people range in age from less than 1 to 82 years, with a median age of 75. Seventy-one percent of ill people are male. Of six ill people with information available, four hospitalizations have been reported. One death has been reported from Texas. One illness was reported in a newborn who was infected with Listeria while the mother was pregnant, but the newborn survived. Investigation of the Outbreak Epidemiologic and laboratory evidenceindicates that bulk hard-boiled eggs produced by Almark Foods of Gainesville, Georgia, are a likely source of this outbreak. In interviews, ill people answered questions about the foods they ate and other exposuresin the month before they became ill. Of the five people for whom information was available, four (80%) reported eating products containing eggs. Three of these people reported eating hard-boiled eggs in deli salads purchased from grocery stores and in salads eaten at restaurants. In the PulseNet database, CDC noted two environmental samples from February 2019 that are closely related genetically to bacteria from ill people in this outbreak. FDA reports that these samples were taken during a routine inspection of the Almark Foods facility. These results provide additional evidence that people in this outbreak got sick from eating hard-boiled eggs produced by Almark Foods. Investigators are continuing to collect records from grocery stores and restaurants where ill people reported eating hard-boiled eggs. Investigations are ongoing to determine and document the distribution and production chain, as well as the source of hard-boiled eggs to the locations reported by ill people. CDC is concerned that bulk, fresh hard-boiled eggs produced by Almark Foods of Gainesville, Georgia, are contaminated with Listeria and have made people sick. These products were packaged in plastic pails for use nationwide by food service operators. The investigation is ongoing to determine the source of contamination and if additional products are linked to illness. CDC will provide updates when more information is available."

New Video: Rihanna "Russian Roulette" (dir. Anthony Mandler)Posted by Miss Info under Fashion , Life Beyond Rap , New Music , Things I Like , Videos
[29] Comments
I watched this in the Diptyque "Baies"-scented office of DefJam big tuna L.A. Reid, along with my girl Yvette Davila and MTV's Tuma,…and I was floored. A great video makes you like a song more, but I didn't even really like this song…until I saw this clip. Loved "The Cell" x "Matrix" feel. Plus that hot new guy from Grey's Anatomy ; ) And of course, Rihanna looks incredible. The director's cut that we watched was only different because it included a little more cleavage, and a glimpse of the male lead actually raising the gun in hand at the end.
Previously: Rihanna Rated R album snippets (I still like "Photographs" and "Cold Case.")

I am convinced Def Jam pays bloggers to say nice things about this girl. The video sucks and so does the song. Her "attempt" at being deep. Blah, she is a pop artist who is known for getting her ass beat by Chris and changing clothes and go.. God knows this will be horrendous live

Perfect! that video was absolutely perfect. I swear the guys in hip-hop and RnB need to start taking notes from the ladies Rihanna, Beyonce Ms. Keys this is how you do a video cool concepts cool imagery you want your video to get noticed try some creativity people cause a club scene with some vide-hoes and some bottles of whatever with cash flying around the room just isn't gonna cut it anymore. Beyonce set the bar high and showed what a great video can do to push a not so stellar song like single ladies that shit became a sensation. Now I'm not crazy about this Rihanna song but like Bey did this awesome video will def help it grow on me.

hehe .. yeah , okay.
What if i was to prove to you that for example, Lady Gaga's puppet masters agenda is to promote homo sexuality…. she was an underpaid actress on MTV's boiling room not even 3 years ago. How come she on C.span acting like she's the face of the gay rally. Ending every other sentence and dedicating her awards to " God's & Gay's ".
OF COURSE its always about $$$ … but some time's theres more.
Most of our generations youth dont even know who the vice president is .. but they can name you all of the 25 oangelina jolie's children !

gaga's gay-advocacy doesnt bother me because I'm not gay and not threatened by or opposed to gayness in others. Also, her stance isn't secretive or deceitful. She says it loud and clear. So, I don't feel like I'm being swindled.
cousinwigs Says:
November 16th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Never really thought about it that way but you're right about the single ladies video pushing a arguably mediocre dance song to be the hit it was. Although she too should of thanked God and Gays for that cause all the youtube gayfan versions played a big part also.
Don't know about the rest, though Akeys? Really? And Bey only gets it for Single Ladies.

The video is not horrible, it isnt fantastic either. It definitely is an outfit though, because I didn't like this or any of the new songs at all. Together they make it better.
This is overly dramatic, the guy is hot, Rihanna's hot.
But unlike Lady Gaga this is drama, and depth without purpose, and without character. It seems she is doing this for shock value, not real meaning.
And it also seems as though she is using what happened to her to her advantage (which is good), but it seems she's milking it.
I wonder what her next album would sound like, will Rihanna still be making music directly related to the aftermath of being abused?

@ AFRA you know what's funny about your comment,is Miss Info just told you she left L.A Reid's office right, she's like an investigative reporter, right? but you got the scoop from youtube about the industry and now your going to explain the music business to her and everyone else, LOL! I remeber the theories from 1999 about 2000, we in 09 somebody told a lie.
Y'all quote and reference footage from people with no credentials. These people come up with conspiracy theories, purchase archive footage edit it and sell it to the public.
Conspiracy theories are big business, it's like the new crack epidemic, people are running wild with all this useless trivial information and spamming the internet with it.

If im bringing this up to info is because id like to see if she believes. And if she doesnt, im more interested to know how she will respond & shut it down.

There's a Masonic temple on a 'Main' street in Meriden, CT
I passed by like three times this month. 4 to be exact.
I'm sure there's somebody there you can talk to
I've gotten flyers in the mail
inviting people to a Black Masonic Debutant ball
There's another Masonic temple in East Norwalk, CT, I pass by that om my way to work on a regular bases, Another 'Main' street.
My Boss has a decal on the back of his truck. That decal being the Infamous 'Protactor'(architects measuring tool)
Which matches the gold pins he wears on his lapell.
All it is is Old People with older money that want to keep it that way in the 'Private sector'
The Gay Mafia on the other hand is a whole other ball game
You dont want no beef with them
They march like no other!!!!
The colors and lack there of….
My Goodness
You want that to stay a secret
"put that where!? way over there! way way over there!! ya heard.

I m sad for my people bro. People know nothing about the Bible anymore. If they did then they would be able to see that what Tiffany says is true. These artisit's are selling out or selling their soul for the riches of the world. If you believe in the Bible and Jesus Christ then you should believe this is possible because the Bible speaks of it happening. In the Bible the Devil even tempted Jesus with the riches and kingdoms of the world, if Jesus would only bow down and worship him (Luke 4:5) .
Now if he can tempt Jesus with that, why dont you think that he would try it with men??? The servant is not greater than the master…..we will go through the same temptations and tribulations that Jesus did. It also says that the Devil is the "prince and power of the air" (Ephesians 2:2). and that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities (princes,kings,governments), against powers, against the RULERS of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in HIGH places (ephesians 6:12). Meaning that we are not fighting against people like Rhianna…we are fighting the demonic spirits that are influencing them. Yea she probably is conscious of what she is doing and thats something she will have to deal with at judgement day (which is scary and I pray for her) but the real enemy is Satan.
Now some people may say that even "if the artist is doing this it doesnt mean anything because the artist doesnt really believe what they are singing about and its their job"… and that they are just doing it for the money. Well thats ridiculous. Everybody knows that selling out is just that!! Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver and caused Jesus to be killed.(Luke 21:37) Well these artists are also betraying Jesus because the words that they are saying are leading people straight to hell. In the Bible it says "for what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, but lose his soul" Mark 8:36) meaning even if you have all the money in the world…all the fame and glory.. all the women… land etc.. even if you haaave all of that. what will it mean to you after death if you go to hell??? NOTHING !!!!
God describes our life span as a "vapor" because its here and gone like that. After we die then where ever we go we will spend eternity!! It also says tht it is easier for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle than for a rich man to make it into the Kingdom of heaven" (Mark 10:25) this means that the more money you have the harder it is to get to God because it is such a distraction AND because of the things we have to do to obtain wealth…its a dirty game at the top.
Getting back to the subject …yes Rhianna is on some evil stuff..watch her video "Disturbia" etc. she is not the only one… here are some examples. listen to jayz-d'evils (reasonable doubt), watch "run this town"….listen to DMX "Let me Fly"–(second verse), google the "Truth about hip hop", google "they sold their soul for rock and roll". go to vigilantcitizen.com… ,youtube "illuminati in hip hop" youtube "beyonce posession "….there are so many examples of how evil the industry is. GOOGLE "PRODIGY-ILLUMINATI"…. most importantly read the bible, ask God to reveal it to you

A Case Study into the Lived Experience of Older People in the Rural Town of Crail
MetadataShow full item record
(2014) A Case Study into the Lived Experience of Older People in the Rural Town of Crail, no. 113.
This exploratory and descriptive study into the lived experience of older people residing in the rural coastal settlement of Crail, East Fife, implements a creative methodological technique that I title 'triangulated ethnography,' which involves the combined application of three ethnographic methodologies: ethnography, auto-ethnography and visual ethnography. The method applied utilises the qualitative techniques of reflexivity, case study, unstructured interview and semi-structured interview in a 'deep-seated' attempt to capture a rich account of the diversity of issues that are central to older Crail residents' lives. Participants provide evidence that there is something distinctive about a 'Crailer' identity and confront the issue of community decline. While participants reveal that tensions exist between Crail locals and retirement-migrants, there seems to be greater acceptance in contemporary Crail of those retirement-migrants who become 'white settlers' (Jedrej and Nuttall 1996), with the key finding that Crail 'colonists' (Gray 2012) possess a false consciousness of living in Crail being problematic for achieving a sense of 'thick' belonging to the town. Finally, self-socialisation in old age provides opportunities for participants to reflect upon the self (Newman and Newman 2009) by practising hobbies and engaging in 'pure sociality' (Morrill et al. 2005; Ries 2009) - except when neighbours and friends visit one another's homes because they do not partake in spontaneous visits to be social for its own function without objectives and actions to fulfil (Ries 2009) - while the concerns that participants raise over local health and wellbeing services lead to targeted recommendations for Crail community development.

In the US, all professional soccer games fall under the authority of the Major League Soccer (MLS). There are 3 conferences in the MLS, including the Western Conference, the Eastern Conference, and the Expansion category
Until recently, only a handful of states allowed online MLS betting, notably Nevada. Since May 14, 2018, the online betting landscape has changed dramatically. SCOTUS overturned the 1992 PASPA law and found that individual states can determine the legality of sports betting. New Jersey petitioned hard to regulate sports betting and won a decisive victory for all US states. Governor Phil D. Murphy wasted no time and signed online sports betting into law.
MLS is divided up into 3 geographic regions. The Eastern Conference includes top-ranking teams like Atlanta United FC, Chicago Fire, Columbus Crew, DC United, Montréal Impact, New England Revolution, New York City FC, New York Red Bulls, Orlando City FC, Philadelphia Union, and Toronto FC.
The Western Conference includes Colorado Rapids, FC Dallas, Houston Dynamo, LA Galaxy, Minnesota United FC, Portland Timbers, Real Salt Lake, San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders FC, Sporting Kansas FC, and Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
The Expansion category will play host to multiple teams in coming years, and currently includes Los Angeles FC. 888sport NJ sports betting brings you a large selection of MLS betting lines in real time. We provide stats of team points, goals, wins, losses, home and away results and more. Follow our MLS betting tips and know everything you need to know about your favorite MLS team in every tournament.
Soccer betting come in many different forms. The most popular option is to bet on the outcome of a soccer match. There are many other online MLS betting lines options including proposition bets, and future bets.
If you're interested in a single match, you can place various types of bets like a total bet, moneyline bet, or a point spread. The total is the over/under bets and it is a prediction on the number of goals that will be scored during the game. If you forecast the score correctly, you win the bet.
Moneyline bets are wagers on the outcome of a game. These include bets on your chosen team, the opposing team, or a draw. The point spread is what a bookmaker offers in terms of goal difference between the teams. A point spread indicates which team is favored to win, based on the + or - alongside a specific team.
We offer the best MLS lines to players, and you're welcome to register with us, claim your generous welcome bonus and start betting on Major League Soccer online!

A staggering 99% of prostate cancer patients treated with proton therapy believe they made the best treatment decisions for themselves, according to a new report released today at the National Proton Conference in Washington, D.C. The report analyzed outcomes and satisfaction of approximately 6,400 prostate cancer patients, more than 80% of whom received treatment at Loma Linda University Medical Center's (LLUMC) James M. Slater Proton Treatment and Research Center.
"This report reaffirms the results we've seen from our patients for the past 22 years and supports the mountain of evidence regarding the efficacy of proton therapy," said Jerry D. Slater, M.D., chairman of the LLUMC center. Dr. Slater and Dr. David A. Bush, vice-chairman of the department of radiation at LLUMC, recently co-authored a similar study entitled "Multi-Institutional Patient-Reported Quality of Life After Proton Therapy for Prostate Cancer Compared to Non-Treated Men."
The just-released report was commissioned by the National Association for Proton Therapy (NAPT) and conducted by Dobson DaVanzo & Associates, LLC, an independent health economics and policy consulting firm. It looked at patient-based outcomes analysis and included personal questions that provided meaningful data that helps physicians make treatment decisions.
Not only did approximately 99% of the patients surveyed believe they made the best treatment decision for themselves, but an almost equal number – almost 98% – reported that they had recommended proton therapy to others.
Additional key findings of the report included:
- Approximately 96% of patients were • satisfied or extremely satisfied with proton therapy.
- Ninety-two percent of patients • reported that their quality of life was better or the same today than it was before their treatment. Only 8% stated that their quality of life was worse.
- Ninety-two percent of respondents • reported that physical health or emotional problems did not interfere, or interfered very little, with their social activities.
- Those who completed proton therapy • for the treatment of prostate cancer had similar urinary, bowel and hormonal health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) measures compared to healthy individuals. For patients who received hormone therapy in addition to proton therapy, lower sexual HRQOL measures were reported. However, when looking at patients who received only proton therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer and who did not receive hormone or photon therapy, proton therapy patients reported lower HRQOL than healthy individuals in only one category, "sexual bother," which refers to annoyance related to their sexual symptoms.
In addition to prostate cancer, proton therapy is effectively used to treat many different types of cancer. The outcomes of the NAPT report can be attributed to the pinpoint accuracy of the highly targeted proton beams. According to Dr. Slater, "Proton therapy is extremely effective as a treatment for prostate cancer because the targeted proton beams spare surrounding healthy tissue and minimize the typical side effects from standard photon beam radiation including incontinence and impotence."
Since LLUMC introduced modern proton treatment for cancer into the mainstream in 1990, there have been countless studies and trials that have shown proton therapy to be the treatment of choice for many types of cancer. Over the years proton treatment has been refined and, coupled with leading-edge technology, has become one of the best treatment options for doctors and patients. While prostate cancer remains one of the primary uses for proton therapy, the pinpoint accuracy of the proton beam also makes it a highly effective form of treatment for many other types of tumors including those found in the head, neck, lung and breast.

Back to Phase 1: Understanding Systemic Effects of PV-10
The expression "bench to bedside" describes the progression from basic laboratory and animal research into disease and therapeutic processes through to "translational" studies that test human clinical applications suggested by those initial investigations. Sometimes, though, the arrow points the other way — "from bedside to bench," for example, when promising clinical findings of apparent health benefits demand more granular and comprehensive understanding. That is the case in a Phase 1 study of a treatment for metastatic melanoma being conducted under Amod Sarnaik, MD, of the Experimental Therapeutics Program at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and a faculty member at the University of South Florida.
The therapy under investigation is intralesional PV-10 (Provectus Pharmaceuticals). PV-10 was developed from Rose Bengal, a xanthene dye combining halogens with fluorescein, patented in the 1880s. Before its antineoplastic potential was discovered and developed, it was used medicinally to fight eye infections, for staining, as an intravenous assay for impaired liver function, and as a food dye.
Back in October, 2012, Phase 2 metastatic melanoma data1 on use of intralesional PV-10 presented at ESMO (European Society for Medical Oncology) 2012 Congress in Vienna, Austria, showed an objective response rate (ORR) of 51%, and a disease control rate of 69% in target melanoma lesions. The other finding, which lies behind some of the intensifying interest in PV-10, was a 61% ORR in bystander (uninjected) lesions among patients who had complete or partial responses in their target lesions. The bystander lesion ORR in patients with nonresponsive target lesions was 18%. Of deep interest, as well, were case studies showing potential stasis or regression of untreated visceral lesions in patients following PV-10 treatment of their cutaneous lesions.
While PV-10 is known to be excluded from normal cells, it accumulates in the lysosomal membranes of cancer cells. There it subsequently triggers lysosomal release and complete autolysis of tumor cells relatively quickly–within 30-60 minutes of the injection. Importantly, this acute necrosis of the treated tumor does not appear to denature tumor antigens, potentially allowing acute exposure of antigenic tumor fragments to antigen-presenting cells.
Murine evidence
In murine research, Paul Toomey, MD, also of Moffitt, and colleagues used B16-F10 melanoma cells to establish a solitary subcutaneous flank tumor and multiple lung metastases in one study, and in a second study, bilateral flank tumors. When investigators administered a subcutaneous PV-10 injection to the flank tumor in the first study and a PV-10 injection in one of the tumors in the second, tumor size was reduced significantly. A bystander effect was clearly apparent in the first study in that PV-10-treated-mice had 3 or fewer lung metastases as compared with more than 250 in each of the untreated mice. Also, tumor-specific interferon (IFN)-? production was significantly higher (p 5 0.05) in the PV-10-treated mice. IFN-? is a cytokine that is critical for innate and adaptive immunity for tumor control. The overall conclusion, Dr. Toomey said, was that "intralesional PV-10 treatment leads to direct chemoablation of melanoma lesions and to a systemic response."
Seeking an immune cell infiltrate
To find direct evidence of such a systemic immune response is part of the motive behind heading back to the bench—although this time involving human subjects. "A further impetus toward teasing out the precise mechanism of how PV-10 can exert a systemic immune response in patients," said Dr. Sarnaik in an interview, "is to allow us to rationally combine PV-10 treatment with some of the exciting emerging immunotherapies for metastatic melanoma."
The focus at Moffitt, Dr. Sarnaik continued, is on discerning the presence of immune cell infiltrate in untreated tumors after PV-10 injections into other lesions. "We are really interested in harnessing immune cell infiltrate as a form of treatment," he said, noting also that while creating cancer vaccines has been thought of traditionally as one of the Holy Grails of cancer research, cancer vaccines have turned out to be not strong enough to generate an adequate immune response.
Adoptive cell transfer
The strategy of adoptive cell transfer potentially overcomes the weak vaccine response. With adoptive cell transfer, antigen-specific effector cells are taken from the patient's tumor and expanded ex vivo under laboratory conditions favoring growth of T-lymphocytes and then re-infused to the patient. This precludes the need to provide antigens or to activate antigen-presenting cells.
In melanoma, T-cells from the tumor are cultured from tumor resection specimens in the presence of interleukin-2.A second strategy infuses peripheral blood T-cells that have been genetically engineered to express tumor-antigen-specific T-cell receptors2.
While adoptive cell transfer offers the advantage that enough T cells can be obtained for infusion in all patients, the T-cell receptors transfected into the T cells have a limited antigen-specificity. The strategy works, Dr. Sarnaik said, only about half the time. "We generate large numbers of T-lymphocytes, but we don't have control over their quality. We think one of the limitations is that the T cells you get out of the tumor just aren't good enough." PV-10, however, does cause an immune response, suggesting that a combination treatment may improve the quality of the T-lymphocytes and have a greater impact on the disease.
When Shari Pilon-Thomas, PhD, also a Moffitt researcher, demonstrated that T-lymphocytes recovered from mice treated with PV-10 do appear to be of a higher quality, as evidenced by stronger tumor reactivity, the stage was set for Dr. Sarnaik's current 15-patient pilot study. In it, one of two resectable melanoma tumors is injected with PV-10. Both are removed several weeks later. Serum is assessed before and after treatment to look for changes in the infiltration of immune cells. In patients with an immune response, PV-10 therapy can be continued.
"This is a straightforward study that will give a yes or no answer," Dr. Sarnaik said.
Investigators will monitor carefully for known PV-10 adverse events, such as strong sun sensitivity, and interactions with diuretics, older psychiatric medications and some topical agents. Because drug concentrations are high only locally, intralesional therapy produces limited toxicities. The study will be completed in a year, with data analysis requiring another 6 months. First results may be ready in a year, however.
If the hypothesis that PV-10 will produce a better immune cell infiltrate is borne out, that would justify testing of combination treatments, Dr. Sarniak said. Likely candidates are adoptive cell therapy, approved drugs like ipilimumab that boost immune response, or PD-1-blocking antibodies (none approved yet).
What kind of therapy is PV-10?
Echoing Dr. Sarnaik, Eric Wachter, PhD, Provectus chief technology officer, said that he hopes that the findings of Dr. Sarnaik's study will point toward rational judgments about combining PV-10 with other documented therapies. "We then might want to try two or more orthogonal therapies to stress tumor cells from several different angles simultaneously, for example an immune therapy plus a metabolic therapy (e.g., a kinase inhibitor), or in a rationally designed sequence." In a hepatocellular carcinoma model, he added, PV-10 showed significant potential for synergy with 5-fluorouracil. Provectus recently initiated clinical testing of PV-10 with the multikinase inhibitor sorafenib, again bringing in two therapies with divergent mechanisms of action.
Which category does PV-10 fall into? "I think we are getting a clearer picture of how it might be classified, but it has features of several previously unrelated categories, such as of adoptive cell transfer and vaccination," Dr. Wachter said. "PV-10 initially reduces tumor burden through chemoablation—but then activates the immune system bringing in capacities completely orthogonal to the ablative tumor destruction," he added.
"Amod Sarnaik's work may give us the molecular basis for closing the loop on one of the founding concepts for going into the clinic in the first place," Dr. Wachter commented. "Back in the preclinical days at Provectus, Craig Dees, PhD, theorized that ablation of tumors with PV-10 might lead to unmasking of tumor antigenic material. I don't think he anticipated that it would work as well as it does."
Further testing
A Phase 3 randomized trial comparing PV-10 with dacarbazine and temozolomide monotherapy is expected to begin enrolling patients in Australia, the US and Europe later this year. The trial will include approximately 200 subjects with stage IIIB and IIIC melanoma and will have progression-free survival as its primary endpoint.

Synthetic Circuit Allows Dialing Gene
Expression Up or Down in Human Cells
Scientists who built a synthetic gene circuit that allowed for the precise tuning of a gene's expression in yeast have now refined this new research tool to work in human cells, according to research published in the February 5, 2013 online issue of Nature Communications.
"Using this circuit, you can turn a gene from completely off to completely on and anywhere between those two extremes in each cell at once. It's a nice tool if you want to know what happens at intermediate levels of gene expression. There has been no such system so far, but now it is available for mammalian cell research," said senior author Gábor Balázsi, Ph.D., associate professor in The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Department of Systems Biology.
Present options for altering gene expression in human cells are blunt instruments by comparison. Knocking out a gene eliminates its expression completely. Inhibiting it with RNA interference dials it partially down and can affect other genes. Inserting a gene expression vector into cells overexpresses the gene, but it's usually uncontrolled. Commercially available versions can switch a gene on or off, but cannot precisely dial between these extremes.
"For cancer research, the system will allow scientists to test the boundaries of a gene known to confer resistance to a drug in cancer cells by dialing its expression to different levels and treating the cells with the drug," said first author Dmitry Nevozhay, M.D. Ph.D., instructor in Systems Biology.
"Likewise, such a system would allow personalized gene therapy, by precisely tuning the therapeutic gene level expression depending on disease progression and the patient's need," Nevozhay said.
In microbial or yeast biology research scientists have started to understand and manipulate gene function quantitatively, almost like we understand electronic circuits, Balázsi said. "This makes research in those areas more amenable to engineering and mathematical characterization, but that's not true for human cells, and part of the problem is that tools that tune gene expression have been lacking."
A step-by-step guide for others to build mammalian synthetic gene circuits
By refining their circuit to work in a human breast cancer cell line, the team demonstrated that their approach can be used in mammalian cells while offering a step-by-step guide that other researchers could follow to build other synthetic circuits for use with other genes.
