What to do?
What to do when you are feeling so down?
What to do when everything around you gives negative vibes?
What to do when you were surrounded by negativity?
What to do when you all you want to do is to cry, but you can't?
What to do when all you want to do is to lie down on your bed, but you have work to do?
What to do when you see your crush approaching your way?
What to do when it's raining then you wear your gamosa shoes?
What to do when you open your wallet and see you have no money there?
What to do when you love someone, but he/she can't love you back?
Why people go, or why people come?
Why we fall in love in the wrong person?
Why do we sleep?
Why there is color? Or why the rainbow don't have color pink?
There's a lot of question in our mind, looking and seeking for the answers. Why we always ask, when in the first place we already know the answer, why we always ask but we are afraid to know the answer, why we always ask when sometimes, we are not meant to know and understand the answer, but rather to accept it.
I must say, I have a lots or rather ton's of question in life like (" what's the real color of the Zebra is it black with white stripes or white with black stripes or/ what happen to the cockroach when it's fell down to the soap? Did the cockroach will be clean or the soap will get dirty?" ), but seeking for the answer may not be the best solution, but rather it may put us to confusion. So when you ask be ready to know the answer, if we don't understand the answer then it's the time to accept it, coz "sometime its not meant to understand but rather to accept".

University of Santo Tomas 400years
The Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, The Catholic University of the Philippines (colloquially UST or "Ustê". Filipino: Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas), is a private Roman Catholic university run by the Order of Preachers in Manila. Founded on April 28, 1611 by archbishop of Manila Miguel de Benavides, it has the oldest extant university charter in the Philippines and in Asia.[1][2] and is one of the world's largest Catholic universities in terms of enrollment found on one campus.[3][4] UST is also the largest university in the city of Manila. As a Pontifical University in Asia,[5][6] UST is the only university to have been visited by two popes three times: once by Pope Paul VI on Nov. 28, 1970, and twice by Pope John Paul II on Feb. 18, 1981 and January 13, 1995.[7]
The University is composed of several autonomous faculties, colleges, schools and institutes, each conferring undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate degrees, and the basic education units. Several degrees have been accredited by the Commission on Higher Education as Centers of Excellence and Centers of Development.
The Patron of the University is St. Thomas Aquinas, while St. Catherine of Alexandria is the Patroness.[8]
Prominent Thomasians include saints, Philippine presidents, heroes, artists, scientists, professionals and religious figures, who have figured prominently in the history of the Philippines. The athletic teams are the Growling Tigers, members of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines and are consistent winners of the Overall Championship.

Main article: History of University of Santo Tomas See also: UST Quadricentennial Celebration The foundation of the University is ascribed to Miguel de Benavides, O.P., the third Archbishop of Manila. He came to the Philippines with the first Dominican mission in 1587. He went on to become bishop of Nueva Segovia, and was promoted archbishop of Manila in 1601. Upon his death in July 1605, Benevides bequeathed his library and personal property worth 1,500 pesos to be used as the seed fund for the establishment of an institution of higher learning. Fr. Bernardo de Santa Catalina carried out Benavides' wishes and was able to secure a building near the Dominican church and convent in Intramuros for the College. In 1609, permission to open the College was requested from King Philip III of Spain, which only reached Manila in 1611. On April 28, 1611, notary Juan Illian witnessed the signing of the act of foundation by Baltazar Fort, OP, Bernardo Navarro, OP, and Francisco Minayo, OP. Fort, appointed that year to the post of Father Provincial, was its first Rector.[9] The Colegio de Nuestra Señora del Santísimo Rosario was established on April 28, 1611, from the Benavides's library. Later renamed Colegio de Santo Tomás, it was elevated by Pope Innocent X to a university on November 20, 1645 in his brief, In Supreminenti.[2] This made the university the second royal and pontifical institution in the Philippines, after the Jesuit's Universidad de San Ignacio which was founded in 1590 but closed in the 1768 following the expulsion of the Society of Jesus from the Philippines. Its complete name is The Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, The Catholic University of the Philippines (Spanish: A La Real y Pontificia Universidad de Santo Tomas de Aquino Universidad Católica de Filipinas).[10] It was given the title "Royal" by King Charles III of Spain on 1785; "Pontifical" by Pope Leo XIII on 1902 in his constitution, Quae Mari Sinico, and the appellative "The Catholic University of the Philippines" by Pope Pius XII on 1947.[2] The university was located within the walled city of Intramuros in Manila. It was started by the Spanish Archbishop of Manila in the early 17th century as a seminary for aspiring young priests, taking its name and inspiration from Saint Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican theologian. The first courses offered by the Colegio de Santo Tomás were canon law, theology, philosophy, logic, grammar, the arts, and civil law. In 1871, it began offering degrees in Medicine and Pharmacy, the first in colonized Asia.[2] At the beginning of the 20th century, with the growing student population, the Dominicans bought land at the Sulucan Hills in Sampaloc, Manila and built its 215,000 square meter campus there in 1927 with the inauguration of its Main Building. Also that year, it began accepting female enrollees. In the last four decades, the university grew into a full-fledged institution of higher learning, conferring degrees in law, medicine and various academic letters. The university has graduated Philippine national heroes, presidents, and even saints.[2] During World War II, the Japanese converted the campus into a concentration camp for civilians, foreigners and POWs. Some of the most brutal war crimes against American soldiers (Filipino soldiers were granted amnesty) and civilians living abroad occurred in the campus.[11] Since its establishment in 1611, the University's academic life was interrupted only twice: from 1898 to 1899, during the Philippine Revolution against Spain, and from 1942 to 1945, during the Japanese occupation of the country. In its long history, the university has been under the leadership of more than 90 Rectors. UST's first Filipino rector was Fr. Leonardo Legaspi, O.P. who served UST from 1971-1977. Its current rector is Fr. Rolando V. de la Rosa, O.P.[2] In recognition of its achievements, a number of important dignitaries have officially visited the university, among them, during the last three decades: His Holiness Pope Paul VI on 28 November 1970; His Majesty King Juan Carlos I of Spain in 1974 and 1995; Mother Teresa of Calcutta in January 1977 and again in November 1984; Pope John Paul II on 18 February 1981 and 13 January 1995 (as part of the World Youth Day 1995).[2] On the 2007-08 academic year, UST had 37,776 students enrolled.[12] [edit] The University seal The seal of the University of Santo Tomas is a shield quartered by the Dominican Cross. Superimposed on the cross is the sun of Saint Thomas Aquinas, patron of Catholic schools, after whom the university is named. The sun is actually made similar to the Sun of May. Some of the elements present in the University Seal: Left to right: Emblem of the papacy, crowned by the Papal Tiara, seal of the Spanish Kingdom of Leon showing the lion rampant, and the seal of Manila showing the sea lion. Encircling the Dominican cross are: On the upper left is the papal tiara, indicating that the UST is a pontifical university. The upper right shows the lion derived from the seal of Spain, indicative of royal patronage throughout the greater part of the university's centuries-old existence. The lower left is occupied by the sea lion taken from the seal of the City of Manila, the national capital, symbolizing the Republic of the Philippines. The rose on the lower right is a symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary under whose patronage the university was placed from its very beginnings. The symbols are rendered in gold (except for the Dominican cross which is black and white), and are set on a field of light blue, the Marian color.[13] The Tongues of Fire is the official logo for the Quadricentennial celebration of the university. This logo features the outline of the UST Main Building Tower as a concrete symbol of the stability, integrity and 400 years of existence of the university. From the cross of the Main Building emanate four tongues of fire that spell out U, S, and T. The tongues of fire reference the future of the university, some ideals, and are reminiscent of the stripes of the Tiger, the school's mascot. The Quadricentennial logo was designed by Dopy Doplon, a Thomasian.[14] [edit] Campus University of Santo Tomas in España, ManilaThe University sits on an almost perfect square of 21.5 hectares bounded by España Boulevard, P.Noval, A.H. Lacson and Dapitan St, in Sampaloc, Manila. The University transferred to its present campus in 1927 when the Dominicans deemed the Intramuros Campus Inadequate for the University's growing population. The First Structures in the campus were the imposing Main Building, the Santisimo Rosario Parish, the UST Gym (once the largest gym in the country), and the Arch of the Centuries. The Campus, at present boasts a mixture of old and new architecture with the inclusion of the UST Multi-Deck carpark which houses the Alfredo M. Velayo College of Accountancy, and the proposed UST Sports Complex, the 2nd Modern Sports facility to be constructed by a UAAP member school. Other new structures include the Beato Angelico Building which houses the College of Architecture and College of Fine Arts and Design, the Plaza Mayor, the UST Quadricentennial Square and Alumni Park, Thomas Aquinas Research Complex and the UST – Tan Yan Kee Student Center. UST Quadricentennial SquareThe University has started to develop upcoming campuses in Santa Rosa City (60 hectares), General Santos City (80 hectares), and Negombo, Sri Lanka, (5 hectares).[15] The University is also in the process of establishing a presence in Mongolia.[16] In 2011, the University will be celebrating its 400th founding anniversary, and it is projected that the new campuses will be operational by then.[17] Fountain of Wisdom The Plaza Mayor in the foreground, the Beato Angelico Bldg, Football Field and Grandstand in the background.Prominent landmarks:[18] Arch of the Centuries Fountain of Wisdom Fountain of Knowledge Main Building Miguel de Benavides Monument UST Miguel de Benavides Library (formerly, UST Central Library) College Buildings: Albertus Magnus Building Alfredo M.

The prominent university streets are Intramuros Drive, Quezon Drive, and Osmeña Drive. [edit] Academics Aside from the basic and major subjects, all undergraduate students are required to take 15 units (tuition-free) of Theology classes. The students are also required to attend 4 physical education classes, and a choice from among ROTC, civil welfare training service, and literacy training service. [edit] Basic education The UST Elementary School used to offer primary education for children in the K-12 levels,[20] but before the Quadricentennial Celebration of the University, the school started denying applications from the K-Level, until the last batch of Grade 6 students who would graduate on AY 2010-2011 are left. The UST Elementary School, after finishing the last batch of its students in the UST Sampaloc Campus, will be transferred to the new UST Campus in Santa Rosa City, Laguna. UST has two secondary institutions: The UST High School and the UST Education High School which serves as a laboratory for the College of Education.[21][22] All students of these institutions undergo Citizenship Advancement Training, while the students from first to third year level of the UST High School undergo scouting under the Boy Scouts of the Philippines for the boys and the Girl Scouts of the Philippines for the girls. The scouting program aims to instill nationalism and discipline among the students while the Citizenship Advancement Training aims to introduce students to the National Service Training Program that college students undergo. [edit] Undergraduate studies The different faculties, colleges and institutes of the University were created at different times in the University's history. The "Faculties" were founded before the American occupation of the early 20th century, while the "Colleges" were founded during and after American rule. The "Institutes" and "Departments" are found within their mother faculties/colleges. Some Institutes that attained enough enrollment were separated from their mother faculties/colleges and were made into colleges in their own right. [edit] Faculties The degree programs for undergraduate studies were first offered in 1611, where the Faculties of Sacred Theology and Philosophy were founded.[23][24] The Faculty of Canon Law was founded in 1733.[25] These three original faculties are now known as the Ecclesiastical Faculties, to distinguish them from the Secular Faculties and Colleges that were founded later. The Eccesiastical Faculties are housed at the Seminary and at the Santisimo Rosario Parish. The Faculty of Medicine & Surgery together with the Faculty of Pharmacy were founded on the same year in 1871. The Faculty of Pharmacy offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Biochemistry, Medical Technology, and Pharmacy. The Faculty of Medicine & Surgery is located at the St. Martin de Porres building, while the Faculty of Pharmacy is located at the Main Building.[26] The Faculty of Philosophy and Letters was founded in 1896. It was merged with some programs of the College of Liberal Arts in 1965 hence renaming the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters as the Faculty of Arts and Letters (the College of Liberal Arts was renamed the College of Science). The Faculty of Arts and Letters offers the Bachelor of Arts (AB) degrees, in Asian Studies, Behavioral Science, Communication Arts, Economics, Journalism, Legal Management, Literature, Philosophy, Political Science, and Sociology. The Faculty of Arts and Letters is located in the St. Raymond de Peñafort building. Its students are known as "Artlets" (previously "Philets"). The departments of Literature and Philosophy are Centers of Excellence.[27] In 1907, the Faculty of Engineering was founded. Currently it offers the Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Computer Science, Information Management, and Information Technology degrees were transferred to it from the College of Science. In 2007, Bachelor of Science in Information Systems was offered replacing the Information Management program. The department of Electronics and Communications Engineering is named as one of the Centers of Excellence by the Commission on Higher Education. The Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering programs, on the other hand, are the Centers of Development. Engineering is located at the Roque Ruaño building, named after the priest-engineer Roque Ruaño, O.P. For practical purposes, the building is called the "Engineering building."[28] [edit] Colleges The College of Education, which was founded in 1926, offers the Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education major in Pre-School or Special Education, Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education with majors in Computer Technology,Biology-Chemistry, Biology-General Science, Social Studies, English, Mathematics, Physical Education, Health and Music, Religious Education, or Social Guidance, the Bachelor of Library and Information Science, the Bachelor of Science in Food Technology, and Nutrition and Dietetics. Education is one of Centers of Excellence in the University. The college is located at the Albertus Magnus building.[29] The College of Science, which was founded in 1926, offers the Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Physics major in Instrumentation, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics major in Actuarial Science, Microbiology (the only such program in the Philippines), and Psychology. Both Biology and Chemistry are accredited by CHED as Centers of Excellence. The College also offered a degree in Zoology, but was later abolished. The College of Science is located at the third floor of the UST Main Building.[30] The College of Architecture, which was founded in 1930, offers the Bachelor of Science in Architecture. Later on, after adding a fine arts program the college was called College of Architecture and Fine Arts. By the year 2000, the Fine Arts program was elevated to a separate college. The College of Architecture is housed at the Beato Angelico building. It is one of two Centers of Excellence in Architecture. In 1933, the College of Commerce and Business Administration was created. College of Commerce offers the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with majors in Marketing Management, Financial Management, Human Resource Management, and Business Economics (not to be confused with the AB Economics being offered by Arts and Letters) as well as Bachelor of Science in Commerce major in Entrepreneurship. On 2004, the accountancy program was transferred to the new Alfredo M. Velayo College of Accountancy (see below). It is housed in the St. Raymund de Penafort building together with the Faculty of Arts and Letters. The Business Administration program is a Center of Development.[31] The Conservatory of Music, founded in 1945, offers the Bachelor of Music degree, with majors in Keyboard (Piano, Harpsichord, Organ), Music Education, Voice, Strings and Guitar, Woodwind, Brasswind, Percussion, Composition Theory, and Conducting. Its facilities are located at the Albertus Magnus building. The Conservatory is one of the two Centers of Excellence in Music in the Philippines.[32] The College of Nursing was founded in 1946. It currently offers Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, which is a Center of Excellence and current Dean is Jhana C. Canonigo, RN, MAN, Ph.D. The college is housed in the St. Martin de Porres building.[33] The College of Rehabilitation Sciences, founded in 1974, offers the Bachelor of Science degrees in Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech–Language Pathology, and the Bachelor in Sports Science degree. Like Nursing, CRS is at the St. Martin de Porres building.[34] The College of Fine Arts and Design was separated from the College of Architecture in 2000. It offers the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with majors in Advertising, Industrial Design, Interior Design, and Painting. It shares the Beato Angelico Building with the College of Architecture.[35] The Alfredo M. Velayo College of Accountancy was separated from the College of Commerce on November 2004. Named after one of its renowned alumnus, Alfredo M. Velayo, one of the three founding members of the auditing firm known as SyCip Gorres Velayo & Co., the college houses students who are enrolled in the Accountancy and Management Accounting programs. With the aid of its alumni foundation, the college is now housed in its own building that was inaugurated on June 2006. The College of Tourism and Hospitality Management was separated from the College of Education on April 26, 2006. From an institute, the University has raised its level to a college in December 2008. It offers both the degrees; Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management and the Bachelor of Science in Travel Management[36] [edit] Institutes and departments The Institute of Physical Education and Athletics (IPEA) is an independent college intended for the elevation of sports and athleticism in the university. Situated at the UST Gym. The Department of Military Science & Tactics (DMST) was later on integrated to the NSTP (National Service Training Corps) program of the University. It provides adequate learning in the military arts in preparation for Thomasians in entering into military Service. The ROTC Department is under the DMST. The Institute of Religion (IR), since its foundation in 1933, has been the theology-teaching department of the University for the civil sciences. As one of the offices under the Vice Rector for Religious Affairs, the IR has been a prime mover in campus evangelization primarily through classroom instruction. Located at the heart of the UST Main Building, the site of IR's office symbolizes the directive of the Church that theology should be the core of the curriculum in Catholic institutions. Centers of Excellence (as of Oct.4 ,2010)[37] Literature Biology Chemistry Medicine Music Nursing Teacher Education Philosophy Theology Architecture Centers of Development (as of Oct.4 ,2010)[37] Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Electrical Engineering Electronics and Communications Engineering Industrial Engineering Mechanical Engineering Physical Therapy [edit] Postgraduate studies As early as the 17th century post-graduate programs have been offered in the University of Santo Tomas through its various Faculties and Colleges. [edit] Faculty of Civil Law The UST Faculty of Civil Law was the first secular faculty, and hence the oldest law school in the Philippines. Although the Faculty offers the Bachelor of Laws degree, it is considered as a post baccalaureate degree, as it requires applicants to either have a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. Civil Law resides in the UST Main Building.[38] The Faculty of Civil Law has produced four Philippine Presidents and six Chief Justices of the Philippines. It also has a Legal Aid clinic named after one of its illustrious alumni, Chief Justice Roberto Concepcion. Aspiring law students need to finish at least a bachelor's degree before being admitted to the Faculty. They must then maintain an average of at least 78 in their freshman year to be readmitted the succeeding year. The required minimum grade increases as the year level progresses (79 for the second year, 80 for the third year and 81 for fourth year). During the third year of stay in the Faculty and after finishing all the law subjects, the student is required to engage in an internship program of at least 200 hours before being admitted to the fourth year, wherein he will then be required to undergo an oral examination or revalida and at least two major examinations to be able to complete the whole program. Upon graduation, the student will be qualified to become a bar candidate that will be eligible to take the bar examinations in the Philippines.[38] The Faculty is one of the top performing schools in the history of the Philippine bar examinations.[39] It has produced four Philippine Presidents, three Philippine Vice Presidents, six Supreme Court Chief Justices, and several law deans in the country.[40] [edit] Faculty of Medicine and Surgery The UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery was founded in 1871. Medicine and Surgery offers the Doctor of Medicine degree which is a post baccalaureate degree. The national hero of the Philippines, José Rizal, studied here before moving to Madrid Central University to complete his studies. Graduates of the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery rank among the top scorers in the medical licensure exams, and the Faculty boasts a high passing rate overall. In 2001, the Faculty adopted the problem-based learning method for use in the curriculum. This was highly controversial, as many professors complained that students were not learning the basic sciences adequately.[41] Eventually, in 2003 the curriculum was changed again, this time to an innovate format which combined elements of both traditional (lecture-based) and problem-based methods. The Faculty is known for giving its fourth-year students a series of written and oral exams known as the "revalida". In the oral exams, groups of three students each are questioned by panels composed of three professors on basic, clinical, and emergency medical sciences. Passing the revalida is a prerequisite to graduation. The Faculty is a Center of Excellence.[42] It has been consistently producing topnotchers in the annual national licensure exams for Filipino physicians and it is proud of its Level 4 National Accreditation for several years.[43] It is also the alma mater of numerous Secretaries of Health of the Philippines,[44] as well as several Presidents of the Philippine Medical Association, the national organization of medical doctors in the country.[45] The Faculty was also ranked as the only Asian medical school to be in the top 10 list of foreign medical institutions by the U.S. Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates in 2007. [edit] Graduate School As early as the 17th century postgraduate degrees were offered and granted by the various faculties in the University. In 1938, the UST Graduate School was established to administer and coordinate all the graduate programs in the University. The Graduate School academic programs have grown to 90 course offerings, spanning about seven clusters of disciplines. Today the UST Graduate School is recognized as a Center of Excellence in several fields of the Arts and Humanities, Allied Health Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Engineering by the Commission on Higher Education.[46] Its programs in business, public management, and education were also recognized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Fund for Assistance of Private Education (FAPE)- Evaluation of Graduate Education Programs (EGEP).

UST also won a senior NCAA championship, to bring the total to 19 men's championships. [edit] Research The main venue of research in UST is the Thomas Aquinas Research Complex. The massive edifice named after the patron saint of the University is a semi-centralized system for the productive exchange of ideas among researchers in the fields of arts, humanities, science, technology, social sciences, and education. The following research centers can be found in the TARC:[53] Center for Applied Ethics – established on July 1, 2002 under the administration of Rev. Fr. Tamerlane R. Lana, O.P., The Center was the flagship project of the University towards achieving its vision of becoming the "Center for Contextualized Theology in Asia by 2011." Center for Conservation of Cultural Property and Environment in the Tropics – envisions to be a leading center and prime mover in the promotion of Cultural Heritage in the Philippines by providing and developing professional and academic expertise in conservation and heritage management of cultural properties in the tropics. Center for Educational Research and Development – was established in June 1979, by Rev. Fr. Paul P. Zwanepoel. Through the years, the Center has evolved from being an academic arm of the various colleges in the university providing educational, research and consultancy services to a research-intensified unit thus, redefining the concept of the university faculty as producers of knowledge and information. Center for Intercultural Studies – was opened as the Chiang Ching-kuo Centre for Intercultural Studies in 1993 in the Main Building during the term of Rev. Fr. Rolando de la Rosa, O.P. as Rector of the University with Dr. Alfredo Co as the first Director of the Centre. Center for Research on Movement Science – naugurated on February 21, 2003,The Center for Research on Movement Science envisions itself to become an acknowledged expert in the country, in the field of research on exercise and human movement through the Human Performance Laboratory and the Biomechanics Laboratory. Research Center for the Natural Sciences – the venue for science and technology research in the University of Santo Tomas. Established in 1962, it was originally conceived as the University Research Center, encompassing both the cultural and the experimental sciences. However, in the succeeding years, it gradually assumed an orientation towards the natural sciences. Social Research Center – Established on December 1, 1979, Social Research Center (SRC) is the university's research arm for the social sciences. UST Psychotrauma Clinic [edit] Other research centers Archivo de la Universidad de Santo Tomas (UST Archives) Benavides Review and Training Center Center for Audiological Sciences Center for Creative Writing and Studies – aims to conserve, enrich and reaffirm the fertile foundation of Thomasian letters by nurturing the proper creative ecology that is meant to contribute to faculty development and excellence in literary and humanistic studies.

Is your gut bulging out while you still sit in front of the TV with a bag of chips? Well, congratulations. You are secretly turning yourself into a girl.
It's time for you to get off the couch and start pumping up you testosterone level.
You might be young and in the prime of your age but are you pumping enough testosterone for the ultimate muscle growth and all-around manliness?
Take a test the next time you are in the shower. Stand up straight and take a look down at your jewels. If you are able to see your jewels, I congratulate you. If your belly is blocking the view of your jewels, it's likely that your testosterone level is nowhere near its peak.
Yes, that belly fat that you are so 'proud' of is a testosterone killer and it's secretly turning you into a chick.
So what can we do to stop this vicious cycle?
You can reverse this cycle by losing those body fats that's choking your testosterone production. Get off the couch, lose the chips and start getting healthy and exercise.
You can kick-start by doing heavy lifting and less running. By doing high intensity exercises, it triggers your body to release a great amount of testosterone that stimulates your body's production of growth hormone which is vital to build your muscle. Not only that, high intensity exercises also uses up your glycogen reserves faster triggering your body to burn more fat for energy.
During the process of building muscle, your muscle fibres are break down due to the stress imposed on them. To repair itself, the fibres will reinforce and restructure to make your muscles stronger and bigger. This entire repair process depends on the bio-availability of your testosterone.
That's why, the more testosterone you have in your body, the more lean muscle mass you will build. And the more muscle mass you have in your body the more active your metabolic rate will be burning calories automatically even while you are sleeping.
I would recommend more full-body workouts to be done that demand your overall muscles to work at the same time, increasing more testosterones to be released. Isolated exercises such as biceps curl, hamstring curls and etc. doesn't stimulate your body to release significant testosterones.
Apart from exercise, you have to take care of your lifestyle:
- Get more sleep of at least 8 hours because lack of sleep will cause your testosterone level to drop.
- Cut down on alcohol. Excessive alcohol speeds the conversion of testosterone to estrogens.
- Increase your sexual activities. The more erections you get, the more testosterone is produced. See, being healthy is fun right? It evens helps you burn calories since sex is one of the best all-body workout.
- Eat healthily and enough calories to aid your body to build testosterone. Healthy saturated fats are also crucial for testosterone production.

This is the kind of car that gives Mopars their rare reputation. After all, when was the last time you saw a 1968 Plymouth Fury III Fast Top coupe for sale? Especially one that looks this nice and factory-correct.
While it seems like every third car built in the late '60s was pea green, this lovely code KK1 Misty Turquoise Fury subtly stands out. Part of this distinction is likely because of a recent respray of its factory-correct color. There's a sense of how much care this car has received over the yeas when you see all the original sheetmetal on this exceptionally long Plymouth coupe. In fact, the car's length is emphasized by the original single band of trim running from stem to stern. The Fury III was the premium trim so that's where you get great looking accessories like the rear fender skirts and premium wheel covers. All of this is wrapped in the interesting optional Fast Top body whose sport appearance lived up to its name.
Full-sized comfort was the name of the game in 1968. The highly-stylized split bench seat has two different textures of black vinyl to give a clever two-tone appearance. The seats and door panels look excellent, which is once again a testament to this coupe's level of care. The back seat is just as nice and even as a two-door there's plenty of stretch out room for rear-seat passengers. All the controls are grouped in front of the driver and all factory gauges are nice and clear. While this one appears thoroughly original right down to the AM radio, one nice upgrade is the ice cold air conditioning now runs on modern R-134a. All of these features really make this big Plymouth an ideal long-distance cruiser.
The 318 cubic-inch V8 shows signs of being the original motor, but one look at the engine bay and you know there have been some worthwhile upgrades. This includes a new aluminum pulley setup, belts, and alternator. The motor breathes nicely thanks to inhaling through the original spec two-barrel carburetor and exhaling through an upgraded stainless steel dual exhaust with a sweet rumble. The total package makes for a reliable and smooth runner that still has the legs to pull ahead of traffic when you want. It's backed by a three-speed automatic transmission and power steering to emphasize the easy-going road manners of these Plymouths.
This is a classic car that gets attention because no one else at the car show brought one. But more than just being an endangered species, this large Plymouth is one of the most affordable and complete vintage Mopar coupes you might ever see. Call today!!!

RE: Under 19
When it comes to stopping a team doing time-wasting tactics, what are your thoughts on the referee counting down out loud to the player before giving a caution? When I am in the situation of a winning team trying to take a restart slowly, I will call out 'You have 5/10 seconds to restart or will receive a caution' and then count down out loud and it gets them moving quickly, rather than veiled 'come on let's go' comments I know these are not proper mechanics and I would not do on an assessed match, but just curious.
Hi Fred I had a game at the weekend where I had three cautions for delaying the restart of play. I also turned over two throw ins for being taken from the wrong place by players who were using up all the time that they could possibly extract so they did not get trifling or doubtful on the restart location. Now I did have to shout quite a bit to hurry players up and that just goes with the territory. The counting down places the referee in the position of none or limited discretion as to the sanction taken. What happens when the referee gets to zero. Caution every time? The actual restart is never the problem yet it is the lead up to it and the time taken in that. So once the referee gets to say giving a 5/10 seconds warning the time is already gone and the restart can proceed. Case in point is the goalkeeper who walks out to collect the ball to take a goal kick. By the time he places the ball most times the placed ball will be kicked within 10 seconds without a countdown. The time wasting part has most times already happened with the exception of moving the ball again. Now for me the goalkeeper gets a hurry up instruction and perhaps a whistle with a clear message to everyone including the opponents that the matter is being looked at. If he does not change to a get a move on he gets spoken to and a repeat is a caution. Also my experience is that I have only once (I can recall) cautioned for not taking a restart in a timely manner once it had been set up. I have cautioned countless times for the tardy time taken to get to that point.So for me the communication is clear instructions to get on with the play and if that is not headed the cards come out. In addition the time gets added on to the point that had the team got on with play in a timely manner the amount of added time would be greatly reduced. I always tell players that the time is going to be added on in these games where a team is trying to run the clock down with slow restarts. The opponents feel that when that is done that they have been fairly treated. In my game at the weekend I had 4 substitutions and no injuries with 4.30 of time added on. The opponents had no complaints that the timing was properly handled and the time wasters were none too happy including shouts from the technical area of how long more the game was going to go on. Having said all that a tactic that is working for a referee in games without any hassle or repercussions then no issue. It is the referees game to manage, control and call. I also think that it is a feature of other codes and sports in the US to have countdowns, shot clocks etc so it is somewhat cultural and may be accepted at Underage. It may not work all of the time and once might be too often.A senior observer once told me not to tell players how long is left at the end of the game. I generally do give the time yet on occasions it has caused problems. The observers advice was to prevent the players complaint after the game of the perception of playing over the time in tight games. His answer was not to do it period whereas the trick is to know when not to.
Hi Fred, this might be a consideration if you can not actually add the extra time allotted by the LOTG as part of your referee duties due to field constraints overuse multiple matches one after another, league policy, tournaments, horn to end matches where by not doing so you might deprive a team of playing time! I recall the count down of the keeper releases during active being a fad for awhile but generally we should not be counting out loud or insisting what we will d0 because that bar once tested best hold ! Restarts I have similar views. They (the players) know the score and if they play the game of drag the feet you caution as required! 'Sometime TODAY Gentlemen or Ladies! I have a very loud voice and when I use it for dramatic effect to set a tone or bar there is little doubt as to what my next actions COULD likely to be . I make it very obvious I am adding time for the benefit of the opposition so they do not get overly agitated! WE know it takes a few seconds to retrieve a few seconds to set up a few seconds to decide . Referees are not unreasonable just when our patience is NEEDLESSLY tested I rather the players feel our pain in the way it stops, cautions tend to do that. Once you start finger counting out loud or using a hand gesture using the fingers you best caution every time if not delivered best be the same for both teams ! Once you indicate the restart is a go or simply stated Today! Then make it ABUNDANTLY clear looking at wrist raised to pocket level on the shirt as if stopping the watch method while using the other hand as if to reset it while peeking out the yellow card prequel tends to push the ball on its way. I rarely award more than a single caution for time wasting or delaying restarts or failure to respect tend yards but in leagues where I refereed it became know not to dilly dally I rarely gave even 1. Cheers
At one time we were specifically told NOT to count out loud or make any counting gestures, like swinging an arm. I don't remember if that was a FIFA/IFAB directive or if it came from USSF. Rather than give a strict timeframe, I preferred to encourage them along. 'C'mon, put the ball into play. Don't waste time.' And on at least one occasion, 'The longer you take, the longer we're going to be here. I'm adding on time.' And if none of that works, a caution for delaying the restart of play will probably get their attention. Just remember that after the caution, the restart remains the same.

April 20, 2010 Captured Unrest
One thing that I hate about reading is having to skip over some books while selecting others. I love books and I love the idea of books. Even before I read I bought. I dislike having to choose one over the other. And thank you, but I don't need reassurance: I live under this vain idea that everything has got something to offer. I realize some authors are better writers and some plots are more creative and all of these types of things. But these facts do not alter or lift the guilt I feel for not giving some the attention and time I wish to.
There are stacks and stacks that I have yet to even begin making my way through. There are books in these teetering piles that have been living inside these heaps and on my shelves for months and others still for years. Titles that at one point in time inspired me to bring it home; at one point convinced me that I had a need for it. Books that had aspirations to assimilate into my intellect and my life and I once had an eagerness to let them yet now I keep them guarded by other books who are equally zealous and not about to let some other book jump the line. I have so many books in what some people call a TBR (To be read) mound that my nightstand pile has turned into my actual nightstand. I had to move the furniture piece (the ACTUAL nightstand) out of the way and now have stacks of books on the floor, against the wall holding my bedside lamp. Books are replacing furniture. If you are wondering if this scenario is making me happy wonder no longer: it does. It does.
Being an inquisitive person is constructive to everything but my pocketbook. Even after I picked up a handsome pile of hardbacks on Saturday morning for dirt cheap, I found myself arriving at a book store Sunday evening. In this particular store, biographies live upstairs while essays, criticism and poetry live downstairs. In between my lingering in isles I created my own step class and might have even burned a few calories. I have this innate tendency to completely engulf myself into intellectual searches. I soon found myself sifting through biographies and when I would come across names and titles of works that interest me and I hop downstairs to look at the original works which inevitably introduce yet another author's name to me and back upstairs I head. This continues for the better part of an hour and I leave with postcards – a completely unforeseen conclusion to my impromptu inquisition. The only disappointment rests in my original goal's dead end. At the outset, I had intended to pick up a history of Uruguay and found every other South American country represented with one exception – Uruguay.
Nick Hornby once wrote that "reading begets reading." This thought jumbled in my mind brings me to wonder how my reading begot my reading would trace back through its lineage. What would be the essence or the original text that was responsible for splitting in two, then four, then eight and now a number too large to count and forever in need of reorganizing and dusting. My recent trends of curiosity have prompted me to stockpile essays on the subject of reading as well as works written by A.M. Homes, and an attempt to find more collections of letters. Where did I originally decide to love collections of letters? Where did this desire originate? I cannot remember now.
March was a total bomb. Or maybe it was a bum. A bummer. A bummer bomb. Bomb bummer. It doesn't matter. Basically I purchased a lot and read practically nothing. A bust month. Oh, March, where did we go wrong? Let's retrace.
It started out ambitious as ever with a scan over the calendar and a steady, long look at those beautiful and open 31 whole days. Looking over my lists the tallies come to 13 books purchased and a whopping 2 books read. The reading began with Chronic City by Jonathan Lethem. The thing I love about Lethem books is that multiple reads deliver multiple realities. There are so many freakin' layers to his stories and characters that I am constantly regaining a grasp on what is actually going on. I found this similarity in all of the books I have read by Lethem with the exception of Motherless Brooklyn which I found slightly easier to follow. In Amnesia Moon the lines of reality and dreaming (if I could call it dreaming) were so intangibly blurred I was not sure which characters were real and what to count on. Lethem is famous for invisible foundations that somehow manage to still provide footing. In Chronic City Lethem followed suit to the tee. Chase, the leading complexion, carries on for most of the book carefully tucked inside his little bite of world when suddenly unleashed on the reader is something I can only consider a monster, which tears the walls down of Chase's own little Truman Show to reveal that his life is made-up. What? Lethem! Made-up? You didn't! You sly cookie. Again! Lethem always catches me with my pants down, literaturely speaking, of course.
After having my brain dissolved and rearranged by Lethem, I lock away his tentacles between the two hard bound covers and shelve it only to pull down American Rust. I had never been acquainted with any of Philipp Meyer's writing, but what could go wrong with a Philipp who spells his name with two p's at the end? Most Phillips go with the normal two l's, but not Meyer, not Meyer. I thought – what is a rebel like this going to do with a story about five characters out of the back country in Pennsylvania? Come to find out, not much or in the very least, not enough. Two weeks later after the initial christening I found myself avoiding the book like a relationship gone sour. I found myself sneaking around my bedroom quietly hoping the book wouldn't notice I was choosing to spend my free time without it. I had made it through enough of the chapters to be introduced to all five of the main characters, but had no desire to meet them again. Luckily for me, I get an email from my friend, Drenning, to meet him at a reading. And alas, my first introduction to Melissa Febos commenced. And yeah to Drenning. Three cheers for him because Melissa Febos' writing style was just what I wanted and needed.
As I wrote about earlier, when I went to her reading I was not intending to buy her book. Not for any desire to be unsupportive, but simply because I had already bought a crap load of books for the month and was the very embodiment of a poor excuse for a reader. I was already feeling defeated in my reading accomplishments for what I previously thought would be 31 beautiful days of reading. Blah. I was down and out and felt buying another book that most likely would not be read would really drop me lower. I didn't want to feel worse than a shmuck. How did a serious intention of not coming home with another book turn into freshly shaved legs and hiding under the covers at midnight with Whip Smart? Melissa Febos is just that good. The moment she walked on that stage with her striped polo dress and gray knee high boots and I heard what came out of her mouth that so few writers have: a good reading voice, I was sold. Simply sold. It turned out I was not disappointed in the least bit by her wit, but her writing even continued to grow on me.
When I was through with Whip Smart, which took not as long as I would have hoped, I was still refusing to return to American Rust, so I read Whip Smart a second time. Thus ending the month with 2 books read, 1 twice read and 13 books bought. On one hand a very unproductive reading month. One the flip side, I read a new book by one of my favorite authors, Jonathan Lethem and discovered a new favorite author, Melissa Febos. I believe I described Febos' writing as expansive and limitless. How could it get any better than that? Even if it was entirely an unproductive month it was a lucky month.

Apple is now forcing developers who offer content for sale via a webstore to also offer the content via in-app purchase, according to Apple spokesperson Trudy Miller.
"We have not changed our developer terms or guidelines," Miller told AllThingsD. "We are now requiring that if an app offers customers the ability to purchase books outside of the app, that the same option is also available to customers from within the app with in-app purchase."
In other words, Apple wants its cut on sales enabled by its iOS devices, it has an established guideline that allows it to take it and that's what it's doing. Developers are still free to send customers to their own Web stores, but they must also offer them the option of purchasing content within their apps themselves, and they must route those sales through Apple which will then take its percentage.
This is a major setback for companies like Sony, Amazon, and other content providers who will not want to give up 30% of their sales to Apple.

A smile and a pleasant word for your fellow man goes a long way. Just stop and think, what was your reaction to the last person who offered you a smile? More than likely you responded in kind; the start of a chain reaction.
As Central Florida roads and highways once again begin to carry the increased traffic that signals the return of winter visitors and the tourist crunch, perhaps we should remember to do our part to keep that chain unbroken, or to restart it.

Yoga is something I would like to be much better at. I love the stretching and exercise component but I am hopeless at the 'switching off' component. Schools are beginning to incorporate many of the good aspects of yoga into daily practice though, and I am asked by teachers and parents what book resources are in the library on yoga. Here is my pinterest page listing many of the books I have managed to collect. The teachers seem to like ones where the movements equate with animal shapes, like You Are a Lion by Taeeun Yoo and I Am Yoga by Susan Verde and Peter Reynolds is a particularly good introduction for any teacher or child wanting to learn what yoga is all about.

There was no doubt in my mind that my Botox was winding down prior to these treatments. My bicep, pectoral, and radial muscles were cramping and my range of motion was no longer gaining neutral positioning during stretching. That's with my OT at the hospital rehab doing all the work. The spasticity was returning.
My new therapist is a short and muscular sort of man with a cheery disposition. He has a Scottish brogue in his speech with a slight southern accent. Quite charming actually. I can understand why he and my speech therapist married. They share understanding, compassion, a genuine willingness to help others, great sense of humor, and a thirst for knowledge traits. They both are not afraid to tr ew things if it works even if he is NDT trained. People after my own heart. He is also the clinical director of his facility. Anyhow, I like him.
We spent a lengthy amount of time talking about the procedure and the science. Most of it was about documenting the journey, would I mind? Mind, me mind, don't make me laugh. If this works, I'll be shouting it from every rooftop and flooding the internet. He told me that there wasn't much information or documentation about how dry needling works for spasticity for post stroke patients.
I knew that from my own research. He was realistic about the outcome of the procedure and asked if I would mind being video taped for documentation. Eventually, he would get together with other practitioners and publish the results.
I went into this with an open mind with the hope for success tempered with possible failure as voodoo medicine as my old therapist called it. I rarely shot all hope in the foot or sabotage possible success. I am, after all, the hopeful realist. I am honest enough to reserve all judgement until after all the facts are in...that's one of the reasons for the delay in this posting.
My arm is more or less locked in a 45 degree angle due to the spasticity. It can be relaxed to almost straight at the elbow with enough gradual stretching. Unfortunately, it does not last more than thirty minutes and then the spasticity draws it up again.
He went to get his "bag of tricks" as he called his tote with needles and alcohol swabs. I've had acupuncture before so I knew what the needles looked and felt like going into the skin. I've also had EMGs before so I'm well aware of what those bigger needles and the fire they cause when they hits a spastic trigger point. And, I do mean fire up and down from the point of impact.
I've often said that a line of open communication was the key to getting positive gains. I also believe in getting every cent's worth of every dollar I spend. I explained this to him before we started. He almost seemed relieved, but he talked to me throughout the treatment anyhow. "Is it too much?" "Can you handle a bit more?" became a mantra of sorts in that Scottish brogue of his.
I felt him go through a vein and bounce the needle off a few bones a couple of times.That's how this differs from acupuncture for those that say this is just a glorified acupuncture. It's more like an EMG except once the needle hits the spot, it is manipulated in and out into the trigger point a few times. I can feel the muscle spasm immediately relax. Instant gratification as it is.
He did a couple of trigger points and then stretch the muscles. Each time he stopped needling and stretched, he got more and more of a response. It was fascinating to watch as if it weren't my body at all. But personally, I was amazed at the amount of movement he was obtaining. I left that first appointment in a state of shock.
The effects lasted until my next appointment a day and a half later. I walked into the rehab office with my arm fully out stretched at the elbow along my body. In fact, I've added tricep building exercises to my daily exercises to combat my arm falling without control.
So we started again. He asked about any after affects to the dry needling. I had a couple of small bruises from where he went through a vein, a little bit of nausea, and the painful muscles were relieved by a couple of bags of frozen corn. I found eating something helped the nausea. So now I eat before treatments and no more nausea. Also, drinking 16 ozs of water also helps eliminate the spasticity causing agents after the treatment.
This time he hit my steel traps (trapezius muscles) in my shoulders to allow the shoulder to move more freely. Mine are always tight because that's where my stress centers. He also focused on my wrist and hand.
Again I watched amazed as he moved my wrist to more than neutral, which hasn't happened since the spasticity set in (over two years ago) and my finger straighten with my arm outstretched. My other OT could only manage the fingers outstretched with the elbow bent. I'm loving the results! I'm finally feeling optimistic and excited about therapy again.
This was all great and good, but would it last? Only time would tell. This second treatment was on a Friday and my next treatment was on Tuesday. By Monday, I could only get 90 degrees of supination in my wrist instead of being able to lay it flat against my desk palm up. By Tuesday morning, only 45 degrees of rotation. Okay, it was only the first heavy duty focus on the wrist and hand. It could take several treatments or at least that's what I read.
I greeted my therapist with a, "do it again!"
I now leave his rehab place with a smile on my face. I'm getting the response that I'd hoped for. Am I at the point of shouting it from the rooftops yet? Not quite yet. Now when I get long lasting results, you better believe it. We are both optimistic while keeping our feet firmly on the ground. As for now, I've found a spasticity and pain relief method that works in between Botox. But another stroke survivor and friend has decided to forgo his Botox at least for one series. I'll keep you posted on the results.
Nothing is impossible with determination.

Late last week, my daughter fell in love. Big time. With this bird:
This very cute puppet was crocheted for her by my mother (isn't she clever?). The Muffin thinks it is the most wonderful thing ever to grace the world with its presence (except maybe icecream. And chocolate). She has christened it "Tweedilee". As you can see, Tweedilee got her own Muffin Tin Meal this week, so I decided to make The Muffin's tin Tweedilee-themed...
Top Row: Apple slices; Tweedilee Vegemite sandwich with cheese crest & tail (coloured in with Gourmet Writers); Half a hard-boiled egg (which Tweedilee has hatched out of).
Bottom Row: Apple sauce with "birdseed" (a mixture of sunflower and pumpkin seeds); Waffles (hearts, to show that The Muffin and Tweedilee love each other); Yoghurt with "Tweedilee feathers" (purple sprinkles).
The After Shot:
This tin was great fun. I was pleased (and a bit surprised) to see that she ate the seeds up no problem at all. Granted they were covered in apple sauce, but still... She enjoyed dipping the waffles in the yoghurt and apple sauce, and then ate the rest with a spoon when she ran out of waffle. About a third of the yoghurt was left (I might try giving her less yoghurt next time, as she's left some a few times in a row now).
To see what other mums did this week, check out the Muffin Tin Mom's blog. What do your kids like snacking on?

Contact: Diane Tobin
San Francisco, May 28, 2008 - Robin Washington, the editorial page editor of Minnesota's Duluth News Tribune and a television producer and National Public Radio commentator, is the first recipient of the Be'chol Lashon Media Award established to honor excellence in coverage of the ethnic and racial diversity of world Jewry. The purpose is to give recognition to journalists and others covering the wide diversity of Jewish ethnicity.
The award was presented in San Francisco at the annual Be'chol Lashon International Think Tank, the largest conference of Black, Latino, and mixed-raced Jewish leaders in the world. It will be given annually.
Mr. Washington was cited in the award for "his journalistic excellence and passion in bringing the stories of Jews of color to mainstream American print and broadcast media over his thirty-year career."
"Robin Washington embodies what this award is all about," Diane Tobin, Be'chol Lashon's Director, said at the Be'chol Lashon conference in San Francisco on May 4 where she presented the honor to Washington, who is African American and Jewish. "It is vital for the community to know about how diverse Jews really are here in American and around the world."
Excerpts of Washington's work, including television profiles of scholar Julius Lester, owner of a kosher-Korean carry-out restaurant, and a NPR piece about Black-and-Jewish Passover celebrations, were presented at the event.
This week, Washington was named coordinator for future awards, which will include print, broadcast, film and other media categories. "There are many fascinating stories to tell about little-known Jewish communities," Washington said. "This work is crucial in breaking down stereotypes and deserves recognition."
A commentator/guest on NPR, MSNBC, Fox News, ABC News, CNN and the BBC, Washington was a Fellow in Science Broadcast Journalism at Boston's WGBH-TV and a producer at that city's ABC and NBC affiliates, as well as nationally for BET and PBS. His columns have appeared in many newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, Baltimore Sun, Chicago Sun-Times and the San Jose Mercury News, as well as the Boston Herald, where he was a staff columnist. His numerous journalism awards include the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel for "You Don't Have to Ride Jim Crow!," a national PBS documentary of the first interracial Freedom Ride in 1947.
Be'chol Lashon is a research initiative of the Institute for Jewish & Community Research, an independent, non-partisan public policy institute dedicated to the growth of the Jewish community. Be'chol Lashon (In Every Tongue) grows and strengthens the Jewish people through ethnic, cultural, and racial inclusiveness. We advocate for the diversity that has characterized the Jewish people throughout history, and through contemporary forces including intermarriage, conversion and adoption. We foster an expanding Jewish community that embraces its differences. www.bachollashon.org

Last Saturday of the month means the Seashore Stampers are having another blog hop! You will have just come from Mi Ran's post seeing here creative 'Stocking Stuffer'.
The theme for today, is "Stocking Stuffers", and I have created a Tissue Holder! Winter usually means that you need extra tissues handy and close by, whether it be in your purse, pocket, lunch bag, or car. I always find the cellophane wrapper to be inadequate after you have taken half of them out. I thinking this sturdier, refillable box might just hold them better.
Here are photos with step by step instructions on how to make your own version, and they don't have have Christmas paper to be a 'Stocking Stuffer'.
Whoops! I have a typo on the photo. 5 3/8" should read 6 3/8". Thank you Judith for pointing that out.
Of course, you can cut out DSP for the sides and bottom of the box, or just stamp all over it with one of your favorite Christmas stamps, whether it be image or text!
So there you have a nice little Tissue holder/box.
Now it's time to see what Bruni has posted for today's creative 'Stocking Stuffer' project!
...or go back and see Mi Ran's if you haven't been there yet.
Participating today is...
Mi Ran
Sabrina - that's me...
Thank you so much for participating in the fun! See you at the next Seashore Stampers Blog Hop for November 26th!
Happy creating!
Take advantage of these specials for all those Christmas projects you are planning to work on, or gift some lovely supplies to family or friends that love to craft and create!

Don Glays, executive director of the Memphis Area Home Builders Association, has three words to describe how the past few days of the Vesta Home Show have performed:
"Beyond our expectations."
The 2012 Vesta Home Show will showcase its first-ever home that is heated and cooled with geothermal heat pump technology, produced by Ruch Builders and Engineered Comfort Inc.
Environmentally speaking, Memphis engineers are making progress. Two years ago, Davis Patrikios Criswell Inc., a Memphis-based engineering firm, was in charge of the construction of the TERRA House, a structure that was built through the cooperative efforts of the University of Memphis and the United States Department of Architecture.
From solar power to wind power, from hybrid automotive technology to geothermal engineering, Memphis companies large and small are tapping into renewable energy.
The biggest news story surrounding local businesses going green involves shipping giant FedEx Corp., whose president and CEO Fred Smith earlier this year unveiled the company's plans to become more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly through its EarthSmart initiative.
Walter Nelms spent 15 years as a mechanical engineer specializing in the design of energy conservation systems for commercial buildings. In his spare time, he would work on residential projects, and what began as a hobby ultimately became a fulltime gig when Nelms launched Engineered Comfort Inc. in 2001.

John 6.28-30
"This food the son of Adam will give you, for he it is upon whom the Father has set the seal of his authority."
"Then what must we do," they asked him, "if we are to be doing the works of God?"
Jesus replied, "This is the work that God requires: believe in the one whom He has sent."
So they said to him, "Then what sign do you do, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you perform?"

Oyata shinshi has passed but his legacy lives on
I was profoundly saddened to be informed by two different people that Oyata shinshi has passed away. A truly great light has been snuffed out. This loss is compounded by that of Logue shinshi's passing less than a year ago. While their flames no longer shine , they lit many candles on their journey through life. Those candles continue to burn and they shed light for us all.
I feel real sense of loss from the news of Oyata shinshi's death, but I am also deeply grateful that the world had this great man for so many years.

Islamabad: Pakistani Taliban confirmed on Monday that its senior commander was killed in a US drone strike in the country's North Waziristan tribal region last week and said they had appointed a new deputy to take his place.
A spokesperson of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) said that Khan Saeed Mehsud alias Khalid Sajna, the deputy chief of the group, was killed on February 8 in the drone attack in North Waziristan, on the Pakistani side of the border.
However, the Pakistani media had reported earlier that Sajna came under the attack in Afghanistan's eastern Paktika province, bordering Pakistan. Three of his guards were also killed in the strike.
TTP spokesperson Mohammad Khurasani said Sajna was also heading the Mehsud faction of the Taliban and that, following his death, the top leadership appointed Mufti Noor Wali Wali to replace their dead deputy.
According to reports, Sajna's death is a major blow to the group, which is blamed for most of the terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
Several top leaders of the TTP and the Afghan Taliban have been killed in US drone strikes on Pakistani territory.
In October, the TTP confirmed the death of the mastermind of the 2014 attack on a Pakistani school, in which 125 students were killed, some 15 months after Pakistan announced that the terrorist had died in a US bombing.
In May 2016, the leader of the Afghan Taliban, Mullah Mansour, was also killed in a US drone strike in Pakistan, meeting the same fate as the head of TTP, Hakimullah Mehsud, did in 2013.
Since 2004, the US has carried out around 410 drone attacks in Pakistan that have claimed between 2,361 and 3,688 lives, according to the American think tank New America, although strikes have reduced in recent years.
