Animal medicine
The spiritual meaning of animals
It is believed that animals can be totems for us in our lives. The native americans strongly believe in the power of animals as spiritual allies. Each of us can possess the attributes of different animals. In this lens I will name some animals along with their medicine. See what animal you resonate with, whether it is on this page or not. An excellent book for researching this topic is "Animal Speak" by Ted Andrews. I have had my copy of this book for many years and refer to it often.
I am cherokee by heritage but have never embraced these ancestors of mine, though I do resonate with native american beliefs for the most part. I have learned many of the ways of a medicine woman and native american teachings in my twenties. I supported my teacher through her vision quest. I made my own drum and helped create a Grandmother Drum. I will put a picture of those drums in this lens. I also have a rattle and learned soul retrieval with rattle work.
Animal medicine
some of my favorites that I feel attracted to
Owl is a symbol for wisdom. Owl medicine is a feminine trait and is associated with clairvoyance, astral projection, and magic. Owl sees the soul. They see beyond apprearances to the truth of the matter. They know what you do not tell them. If you have owl medicine you may have these It has great awareness of all that is around it at all times. It has predator vision, which means it sees clearly what it looks at. It has great intuition, and the courage to follow its instincts. attributes.
Giraffe reaches for the heights. Her long neck allows her to get the vegetation that others cannot reach. Giraffe is one of the most successful and widespread vegetarians of the African savannah. Giraffe medicine is good for inspiration and to reach the heights in whatever you do.
People who have Giraffe as power animals often know what will happen in the future. They have clairvoyant abilities where they see the future coming much as giraffe with it's tall neck can see what is coming and be prepared for it. Giraffe people should be very careful when talking - be sure not to say too much to the wrong person, or in the other hand, too little. Do not let other's words have an affect on you.
If Giraffe is your power animal, then just like giraffe you will have very strong bonds with family and friends, especially parent and children.
Many cultures honoured the giraffe, the Egyptians art for one, featured giraffes.
Dragonfly I see dragonflies around me lately. For a while I had one trying to get into my home. It would hang around my door. The other day when I was driving there was one buzzing around my car which was pretty cool. One of the biggest messages of dragonflies are to look beyond the illusion. Dragonflies relate to dreams and illusions also.

What animals are you attracted to?
Great information! Very fun to read :)
this is a very nice web page and enjoyed reading it please visit my web site at http://www.myfutureworldtecnology.com.
fantastic lens
Thanks for the information. I have been wodnering what my animal spirit is and I have heard some people say that I am like the wolf. I just need to read up on it more and see what exactly suits me. I just havent had time. www.corereform.com
This lens is wonderful! Lens roll to my animal spirits lens Love this lens!
No, I did not paint the picture on Spirit Horse Totem. This lens is fantastic!!
"Blessed by a SquidAngel"
Fascinating!!! I tend to be drawn to foxes, wolves and bears. I recently learned in Bev'spapers lens that my birth totem is the Raven totem. That had a rather chilling effect. My son and daughter's favorite bird is a Raven and always has been.
Animal Medicine is a great guidance system, one I use often.
Thanks for highlighting Ted Andrew's books! He rocks!
Love this lens, love animals and am really fascinated with animal totems and animal medicine. I am attracted to dogs and wolves, and birds especially owls and herons. But I really like most animals. We can learn so much from them and I believe we can communicate with them telapathically.
I have had my spirit guide picture done twice (several years apart) and it is wonderful to see what guides I have and how they change over the years. There is always an owl drawn over my 3rd eye and this last picture also had dolphins...I guess we like a lot of the same animals. (:
I really enjoyed this lens! *****
I have Kickapoo Indian in me from my mothers side.
Absolutely riveting! I'm very grateful for this learning. P. :)
Namaste, Aloha, JewelsofAwe. I think I may have written before... I meant to! Thank you for your feedback re my lens, some time ago. I have enjoyed getting to know you through yours. I have many Ted Andrews books, and asked my daughter just today for Animal Speak for Christmas. Never quite bought that one! He writes so well! I saw your owl images immediately. I have a Sooty Owl totem... she is very beautiful... I drew her with such ease that it made me certain that she wanted to be seen... I will include her in a lens on animals when I get to it... One day I will make a drum and do a Vision Quest. What bliss, watching Sky and Earth and the Creatures, with no need to do anything other than simply that. Challenging, no doubt... but bliss, just Being! Cherokee heritage... again and again I find a Cherokee connection amongst those I feel moved to connect with. I wish I could claim Cherokee heritage, but it is unlikely...
A 7' GrandMother Drum visited me, here, years ago
Many blessings!
Though I am not of Native American ancestry, I have long been interested in the spiritual meaning of animals. I really enjoyed reading this lens. Welcome to the Naturally Native Squids group. Don't forget to add your lens link to the appropriate plexo and vote for it.
Great share and very spiritual. Really appreciated the pictures! Lensrolling to my Pet Tattoo lens.
I love animal medicine. I've owned Jamie Sams Medicine Cards 15* years. 5*
Excellent lens and pictures
Great lens...wonderful pictures...very inspirational. 5*s
Thanks for stopping by my lens Spiritual Retreats for Spiritual Awakening. I offer medicine card readings at our retreat using the Medicine card Deck. Beautiful Lens. I am adding you to my lens role.
Thanks for being in touch. I am also of Cherokee heritage.
A beautiful and inspirational lens. I love animals -- especially birds and cats, of course. That is a darling picture of the wild cats -- A Mother's Love! ;)
What a lovely lens! The Hawaiians also believe in animal spirits. My Auntie I'o, when still alive, was known for her ability to commune with the sharks.
I have never read any of Ted Andrews books, but read all of Lynn Andrews 15 or more years ago. Is there any relation between the two?
5 stars!
Are You Poisoning Your Dog?
Well, now our drums can visited. I just put it on my Animal Spirit Totems lens. The more I read about you my friend, the more I see we have common. Oh-we-ah-te-ah-se
Oh, my Goddess! Just this morning I was going to take a picture of my drum and post it on Animal Spirit Totems. I seen yours on here, how beautiful! I lensrolled this lens to mine. Fantastic work! Blessings!!

AMSHeR Commemorates World AIDS DayDecember 3, 2013
Cape Town – African Men for Sexual Health and Rights [AMSHeR] joins the international community in celebrating World Aids Day.
According to this year's Global Report from the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), significant progress has been made in gaining control of the epidemic. The number of new HIV infections has decreased by 33% since 2001. Similarly, fewer people have died from AIDS-related complications with reports showing a 29 per cent drop since 2005. Access to antiretroviral therapy has increased 40-fold from 2002 to 2012.
Although the incidence of HIV infection is declining in most regions of the world, epidemics in men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to expand in most low, middle, and high-income countries in 2013 with the rates of new infection being consistently high among young MSM. Globally, men who have sex with men are estimated to be 19 times more likely to be infected by HIV than the general population in countries where data is available.
"These facts demonstrate indisputably that MSM continue to carry a disproportionate burden of HIV. Many community-based organizations have led the way in developing effective and innovative programmes targeting MSM in Africa and have been on the frontline providing HIV prevention, care and support services to their peers. This leadership needs to be acknowledged and strengthened. We need more resources channeled to them to ensure that we get to zero new infections among MSM", says Joel Nana, AMSHeR Executive Director.
While HIV programmes targeting MSM are largely under-resourced with reduced impact, structural barriers have been a major challenge to the response. MSM have limited access to services because of the stigma and discrimination they experience in health settings. Kene C. Esom, AMSHeR's Director of Programmes reminds, "Till date, 36 countries in Africa still criminalize consensual sexual practices between adults of the same sex, which is unacceptable. Even in countries where same-sex sexual acts between consenting adults are not criminalized, states fail to effectively protect LGBTI individuals from human rights violations and abuses. The negative consequences of punitive laws and human rights violations on HIV service uptake have been largely demonstrated. This is why we are advocating for HIV programmes that are inclusive of the human rights of MSM and other key populations and contribute as much as possible to creating an enabling legal and social environment."

Bolstering Liver Tumor Research
Dan Brown, M.D., and his Vanderbilt Health colleagues are leading the nation in a research program designed to treat patients with liver tumors that cannot be addressed solely with surgery.
In 2015, Brown and colleagues in Radiology launched the Radiation-Emitting SIR-Spheres in Non-Resectable (RESIN) Liver Tumor Patient Registry. Brown, professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences and chief of Interventional Oncology, has served as the principal investigator of the Vanderbilt-led research registry that tracks cancer patients whose tumors are treated with a radioactive isotope known as Yttrium-90 (90Y).
Interventional oncology uses image-guided techniques to deliver therapy through the arteries to solid tumors. During the 90Y treatment, experts insert a small catheter into an artery in the groin and thread the catheter to tumors in the liver. Using the catheter to deliver 90Y to the liver tumors enables physicians to precisely target the tumors with limited effect on healthy liver tissue.
The therapy is appropriate for patients whose cancer has not responded to standard therapy or has progressed despite treatment.
These microspheres lodge in the smallest systems of blood vessels surrounding a tumor, and 94 percent of the radiation inside the spheres is delivered to the tumor within 11 days.
Sirtex Medical Ltd., the global life-sciences firm that designed the SIR-Spheres Resin Microspheres, recently renewed a grant award for Brown and his team's work. The research agreement renewal will provide $2.64 million over three years to support the patient registry. Combined with the original contract, the support for this Vanderbilt research totals more than $3 million.
"This updated agreement shows their commitment to this research project, which will be the largest of its kind in the Interventional Radiology space at its conclusion," Brown said.
The current study includes both academic and private groups with the goal of collecting real world data about the use of this treatment for primary and metastatic liver cancer. To date, 40 medical centers are open and 982 patients are now enrolled with a goal of reaching 3,000 patients.
"We are looking to evaluate real-world usage to identify potential combinations of 90Y and immunotherapy or chemotherapy that can be studied prospectively to improve patient care," Brown said.

Dead King, 5/8-inch
Quantity in Basket:
Code: DeadKing_med
Price: $14.00
Shipping Weight: 0.01 pounds
Pewter "Dead King" medallion, sometimes called the "King
of Death", consists of a crown on a skull. Perhaps one of
the more macabre logos available, it has a certain appeal
as a symbol of vengence or warning, similar to the early colonial
American serpent logo with the motto "Don't Tread On Me".
Fans of the musical group, "Misfits", may associate this
with their song "Dead Kings Rise".
This 5/8-inch size medallion is small enough and has a
slight enough dome shape to fit well in small handgun
grips as well as the top area of larger semi-circular
topped S&W K-frame and N-frame grips.

Each of us has a story. If you are a follower of Jesus, your story is a gift from God that He can use to inspire, encourage, and compel others toward Him. We love celebrating when people experience life change through Jesus and sharing how God has worked in the lives of Image Church members! Check out the stories below.
Stories from 2019
Stories from 2018
I could not imagine where my life would be if I hadn't heard the Gospel of Jesus here at Image.
I've been so blessed by getting to know all of the amazing volunteer team leaders and awesome kids that are a part of our children's ministry.
Serving with the Image staff is inspirational, fulfilling, and challenging.
Being a part of this Church family has been truly life-changing for me.
Image Church has been the greatest thing Krista and I have ever had the privilege of leading and being a part of.
It is hard to imagine what my life would look like without Image Church.
Acting as the Hands and Feet of Jesus by collecting gloves and socks for men, women, and children served by the Prince William Area Free Clinic.
Caitlin Denney, Executive Director of the Prince William Area Free Clinic, shares about the Clinic's work and the impact Image Church's partnership continues to make.
Finding Jesus and Following His Call at Image Church to Make Disciples who Make Disciples
Stories from 2017
"Without serving, growing, and sharing life with our community group, I'd be missing out on so much of what Jesus wants me to be."
"To sum it up, I guess I'd say we give because we've seen how wonderfully God has blessed us, we give to support our church leadership team, and we give strategically to spread the Gospel throughout the world."
"I am here today because God placed strong Christians and their families in my life, and because these people were willing to serve. Now the torch has passed to me and I get to share that investment to grow God's Kingdom, and that's what it's all about."
"We weren't sure what it really meant to be a member of a Church, as it makes it sound like a "Country Club" or something, but it is much more than that. At Image Church, we learned what it really meant to give and serve, and our family became involved in many areas of ministry."
"I am still a work in progress and you may still be a work in progress, but get involved at Image and you will be amazed at what God will do in your heart through the Word, worship and people that serve! This season I am so grateful for the gift of Image Church and so happy that God brought us to this place of worship!"
"In our suffering and loss, you stepped in and showed Jesus in every gesture, visit, loving detail, and act of service. We can't thank you enough, but we can praise God for loving us into this Church family."
Now, I don't give out of obedience or routine or because "I'm supposed to." I give because I love Him and it's all His and when I give, I'm acknowledging that.

What really happened when John Covington resigned, leaving KC school district on the brink
Everyone was stunned. Everyone.
Nobody saw John Covington's resignation coming as Kansas City superintendent — not the civic leaders who had backed him, nor his school board members, not even his chief of staff and other cabinet members.
Least of all Covington's school board president, Airick Leonard West.
West has survived, and so has the district, although he and the district were nearly doomed after that day in August 2011.
So it probably serves more as affirmation than redemption to hear Covington's words only now told to The Star, describing West as an unintended victim in the former superintendent's earth-scorching exit.
"My departure had nothing to do with Airick Leonard West," Covington said, calling from Mississippi where he is consulting.
"I could have had a conversation about that situation," he says now. "I could have put it on the table: Here's what's going on."
Maybe the word is reconciliation — or, as West retires from the board after eight years, an exercise in what-might-have-been.
Things could have been so different, Covington said, if he hadn't gotten a phone call from Spain that he'd kept secret.
The truth is, he said, "I never wanted to leave Kansas City."
West is dressed in black — always dressed in black — this time in the form of a sweatsuit. He's seated in a booth of a Country Club Plaza restaurant with the dark hood pulled down just above his eyes, Obi-Wan-like.
He never heard again from Covington. They'd gone from the fire they shared — backing Covington's dramatic blasting of the district's bloated cache of buildings and contracts — into their separate fires.
Covington's was the political struggle as the first chancellor of a new statewide district in Michigan that took control of the state's worst-performing schools, starting in Detroit — a job he left within three years.
West's fire was the one Covington left:
▪ Fellow board member Arthur Benson and some civic leaders, who were convinced West had broken Covington's patience, pressured West to resign.
▪ When Covington re-emerged in Detroit two days later, West and the board scrambled to reunite, secured a new leader in Steve Green and prepared to fight for the district's survival.
▪ Reform-minded forces as powerful as state Education Commissioner Chris Nicastro and the Kauffman Foundation saw a chance to completely reshape public education in Kansas City and came to roost while lawmakers fought unsuccessfully into the final minutes of the 2012 legislative session to give the state the immediate power to take over the district.
There is time now, as the city prepares to select new board members in Tuesday's election, for West to reflect on many successes in those eight years, and contemplate disappointments, retracing things the board should have done — and a question:
Was it possible Covington set West up for a fall? Would he do such a thing?
West says he never took his thoughts there. Covington says no.
A series of events that stoked the angry reactions of Benson and others against West — and Covington's marked silence during the tempest — were "a coincidence," the former superintendent said.
But Benson had gleaned enough in the days leading up to that Aug. 24, 2011, board meeting that when Covington dropped his stunning resignation letter in closed session, Benson stood and demanded of West, shouting, "Airick! What have you done?"
There were pieces that, when fitted together, could be interpreted against West.
Three months earlier, Covington had publicly objected and issued private warnings against a proposed policy to give the West-led board independent authority in sponsoring charter schools — a policy the board soon amended in Covington's favor.
Then, two days before the resignation that only Covington knew was coming, Covington raised concerns through an email to West that West may be inappropriately corresponding with a potential bidder in a major district project — an email someone unknown leaked to The Star.
West hadn't been secretive. He'd forwarded his correspondence with the bidder to Covington. Still, a case against West was laid, and Covington did not effectively ward it off.
Benson says he asked Covington, straight up, whether he had interviewed at any of a number of cities or anywhere else for superintendent posts, and Covington said no to all.
Benson then submitted his resignation minutes after Covington's — though Benson would seek to rescind his in the ensuing days.
"He lied to us," Benson said, looking back. "He duped me."
What Covington didn't tell them was that he was going to interview for the Michigan chancellorship two days later.
More than once, a headhunter from the search firm seeking his application for the job had called him, Covington said last week, and each time he had flatly turned him down.
Then came a call from one of Covington's contacts at The Broad Foundation. Covington was a graduate of the foundation's Superintendents Academy. Be ready, his contact told him, to receive a call from the foundation's founder — Eli Broad.
The call came from Spain, Covington said. "He (Broad) said, 'John, I need you to go to Detroit.' "
That, Covington says, is the reason he left.
He said nothing of that at the time, but today he has fond words for West, Benson and the rest of the Kansas City school board.
West was an essential supporter of Covington's audacious plans to close schools and reorganize the district's operations and academics.
While the community broadly was supporting his proposal, the board was splitting over it, Covington noted, primarily along racial lines.
The board's four white members voted for it, and all five of the black members except West voted no.
"Airick was out there as the swing vote," Covington said. "Airick understood what needed to be done. If he had not cast that vote, it probably would've destroyed the district. It was going bankrupt."
West also showed keen political prowess. He was only 28 when he won election to the board, and 30 when he was selected its president.
He set up a "school board school" to help prepare more board candidates, then organized a slate of candidates in the pivotal 2010 election that won in a landslide and preserved Covington's shakeup of the district.
And although there were conflicts, the board actually moved into a still-continuing era of relative harmony with its superintendents.
The board, led by West and Benson, reformed itself into a role of oversight and setting policies, leaving executive functions with the administration.
"They supported me as best they could," Covington said. "I have nothing but praise for that young man (West).
"Sometimes his youthfulness and inexperience showed. Was I worried that he was getting too much in the weeds? Yes. But it was nothing I couldn't deal with.
"Was he a good board member? Absolutely he was. So was Benson. They all were."
The man in black is going to ruminate over times where he saw the board fall short. It's what he does.
"We were too complacent," West said. "Not aggressive enough."
The board should have had the stomach to allow the closing of as many as three of the district's half-empty high schools in 2010, not just one, he says.
It should have pressed to get the now-dormant deal done with Academie Lafayette to put charter and district students together in Southwest High School.
His vision of a district "portfolio" of specialty schools and charters is only beginning to show some potential. "We squashed charter partnerships," he said.
And the new district master plan, which only recently launched, should have passed through the board's hands and into action long ago, he said.
But he's not going to forget the district's successes, either.
It survived the heavy push for state takeover in large part because of the way it rebounded under Green and earned state report card numbers that compelled the state to restore the district to provisional accreditation in 2014.
Annual independent audits of the district's finances, which came back with 19 significant findings of concern in 2008, steadily improved and were completely clean by 2012 and have remained so.
Its five-year graduation rate rose from 57 to 71 percent, and attendance grew from 70 to 80 percent.
Overall performance on state tests and on the ACT college entrance exam remains a struggle for the district.
But West particularly relishes the district's Early College Academy, launched in 2010, that is now sending forth some 40 graduates a year with two years of college credits and associate degrees with their high school diplomas. They are heading on to four-year universities, including some of the nation's most elite.
"We're killing it on that front," he said. "I'm proud of the progress we've made."
Benson to this day wishes he'd known more that evening when he received Covington's resignation and went after West.
"I've regretted that for a long time," he said.
And Covington is uncomfortable with the memory of West as "a deer in headlights," he said, looking from the face of Covington to the angry face of Benson, truly not knowing what was happening.
If he'd stayed in Kansas City, Covington believes the changes in the district would have carried it upward. He had the board's and the community's support.
"We were well on our way," he said. "We were getting it done."
The end was hard, Benson said, but he believes Covington's work under the West-led board brought critical changes.
The end, he said, "was overweighed by the accomplishments, I hope."
West has to break from the meeting on the Plaza with a reporter. He has another appointment. And there he is moments later, moving through the street having shed the sweats for a black pinstripe suit, on his way to speak in front of a luncheon audience.
He's 36 and beginning again.

Ludwigshafen, Germany, August 22, 2017 – BASF has reached the next milestone for its latest fungicide active ingredient Revysol®. The company has submitted the regulatory dossier for this strategic proprietary compound to registration authorities in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Revysol is an innovative and highly effective fungicide active ingredient from the triazole chemical class and will strengthen BASF's leading position in fungicides. The worldwide registration initiative will continue in key markets across Asia later this year.
"We are pleased to make this important step in bringing Revysol products to our customers globally," said Jürgen Huff, Senior Vice President Global Strategic Marketing, BASF Crop Protection. "Our strategy of focusing on novel chemistry, particularly in the light of increasing resistance and disease pressure, has paid off. Revysol is an excellent example for our well-filled pipeline of innovations and fits perfectly with our successful fungicide portfolio. We are convinced that Revysol has all the potential to become the next blockbuster active ingredient after F500® and Xemium®."
The company also announced that Revysol will be manufactured at its production facility in Hannibal, Missouri. "The decision to produce Revysol in Hannibal demonstrates also the strategic importance of this fungicide to North American markets. Our facilities in Hannibal offer the best possible conditions to quickly accommodate this latest innovation from BASF and to meet customer demands," said Peter Michael Gress, Senior Vice President Global Operations, BASF Crop Protection.
"With Revysol we have developed an active ingredient with outstanding biological performance in a multitude of crops," said Huff. "Our customers will benefit from a unique combination of fast action, long-lasting control and a favourable regulatory profile." Beyond benefits for row and specialty crop growers, Revysol fungicide will also provide a new option for the turf management and seed treatment markets. In addition to the potential to maximize crop quality and yield in a sustainable way, the proprietary fungicide will play an important role in integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
Revysol will be available in customized formulations to provide farmers worldwide with high-performing fungicide solutions. Pending regulatory approval, first market introductions are expected for 2019/2020 use season.

As cam models, there is something we must always remain aware of, and that's the nature of our employment. We are self-employed, in business for ourselves. Most begin with a laptop from their bedroom, very humble beginnings. Our success, monetarily and otherwise, is dependent on our willingness to work hard and our ability to make smart decisions. And I firmly believe that the most underutilized tool at our disposal is networking.
Throughout the year are numerous events, both business-to-business and business-to-consumer. As a cam model it can seem rather daunting, with all the people attending. It can appear unnecessary, and hard to see the long-term benefits. In my experience, I have seen many peers who choose not to attend these events. And I have also seen many peers attend and feel like they wasted time and money. In reality, these are all incredible opportunities to network.
Business-to-business events are where I feel most at home. Everyone is there with the same interests. It's more intimate and there's time to have fruitful conversation. It's also where you'll find more of the players and the heavy hitters.
Making a successful trip out of a trade show is all about what you choose to get out of it. I made a very conscious effort to attend a majority of the biggest trade shows our industry has to offer over the last year. Some were more successful than others. There are some practices I have found that have made for the most successful trips.
Regardless of the type of show or expo, I always go into it with an agenda. This is so important. For a matter of days all these people are coming together, and then all will part ways. And many will be preoccupied much of those days. Being prepared is important here. All the little mundane details are things to be sorted out sooner than later.
Get flights and hotels booked. I find having the host hotel makes everything much easier and less stressful. That time you save by not going back and forth between another hotel adds up, and navigating a city you're unfamiliar with can be a hassle. When the dates are closer, get familiar with the show. Know the schedule, know the attendees, know which of your peers are attending. Then figure out where you want to be almost every minute of the day. Figure out people you want to meet or talk to. Figure out any content you might want to create.
This is a routine I always go through, and I put immense pressure on myself to get through everything on my list. Getting the most from a show is up to you, and no one else. You are your own boss, simply an independent contractor, so you alone are responsible for your success. Some events are more conducive to productivity than others, and that can be taken into account. Personally, I believe most have something to offer. While I prefer business-to-business trade shows, there is still value to be had by attending certain business-to-consumer shows.
Business-to-business events are where I feel most at home. Everyone is there with the same interests. It's more intimate and there's time to have fruitful conversation. It's also where you'll find more of the players and the heavy hitters. Here is where I get some of the best networking, the best relationships and even those amazing friendships. As far as cam models and talent attending, it's more people who take this career seriously and are thinking ahead. The benefits here are too numerous. And being surrounded by like-minded people is just too damn incredible.
Business-to-consumer events are very different. I believe they have value in that it allows for a safe and convenient place to connect with fans. There are also an awful lot of people from the industry there, including a lot of talent. The drawbacks, however, are that people get swept up in the excitement and get very little accomplished at times. Having the public there makes it very big and spectacular and it can be a lot to take in. The desire to have a fun time can be overwhelming for some and those people can leave with very little to show for the time or money invested in attending. Staying focused is a matter of practice here.
Of course, none of this matters if you're not having fun, not loving what you do. Work is hardly something I ever look at as work, because I love what I do. Go out, meet people, see what else our wonderful community has to offer. Then see how that practice brings more fulfillment to your life, and more success to your career.

"We'd wanted to do something in her memory, and a friend suggested a memorial golf tournament. So then we thought, why not a dinner, instead?" And a dinner event was just the ticket. With all proceeds directly benefiting the hospital, Tim and his wife, Jen, have been successful in raising over $64,000 for the hospital's NICU, which is currently experiencing renovations to create a quieter, dimmer, more womb-like environment to promote the growth and development of its tiniest patients."Every year, we're amazed at how many people come. Even new people that Jen and I meet. When we tell our story — Taylor's story — the event kind of snowballs. Family, friends, friends of friends," Brush said. Last year's event was celebrated with 199 guests. This year, the Brush family hopes to pass the 200 mark."There's a buffet dinner, music, dancing, and we'll also be raffling off a lot of incredible prizes that businesses have donated," Brush said. "Like four free one-day passes to Disney World, autographed sports memorabilia, dinner and mall gift certificates, stunning jewelry." Tickets, $25 each, are available at reduced prices if purchased for a couple ($45) or a table of 10 ($225). To attend and help the Brush family help the NICU, please RSVP to Jen Brush at (585) 544-6894 by February 27. Media Contact Public Relations Department (585) 275-3676

Muschamp announces South Carolina's thinnest position takes another hit
Add Jaylin Dickerson to the long list of injured South Carolina safeties.
Dickerson pulled a hamstring muscle in Saturday's 35-31 loss to Florida, head coach Will Muschamp announced Sunday, meaning the Gamecocks are now down to two healthy safeties on the roster as they prepare to play Chattanooga this week at 7:30 p.m. in Williams-Brice Stadium.
"We are very thin," said Muschamp, who added the coaching staff discussed Sunday night moving players from other positions to help with depth at the position.
Senior Steven Montac and freshman R.J. Roderick are the only available safeties at the moment, although senior J.T. Ibe may be able to return this week after missing the last five games due to a knee injury.
"I won't know about him until Tuesday," Muschamp said.
Fellow senior graduate transfer Nick Harvey has missed the last four games due to a concussion. Harvey is out for the Chattanooga game and questionable for the remainder of the season. Safeties Jamyest Williams (shoulder) and Javon Charleston (foot) have been lost to season-ending injuries. There's a chance Harvey could receive a medical redshirt season and return next year, Muschamp said.
Cornerback Rashad Fenton can move to safety for South Carolina, and Muschamp said last week that wide receiver Shi Smith could play cornerback in an emergency situation.
Defensive end Aaron Sterling is also doubtful for the Chattanooga game due to the knee injury that kept him out of the Florida game, Muschamp said. Junior running back Ty'Son Williams did not play against the Gators due to having a cast on his hand.
"He was concerned about carrying the ball in one hand, and we were as well," Muschamp said. "I would love to be able to cut the cast back a little bit, but his health is the most important thing. That's up to the doctors."
Another close game. South Carolina is now 12-5 in games decided by seven points or fewer under Muschamp.
"We had been really good in one-score games here, but we didn't get it done and that's on me," Muschamp said.
More missed tackles. Muschamp again expressed his displeasure with his team's tackling against Florida and throughout the season.
"Yesterday we had guys trying to butt guys down and not wrap up," he said. "It's been coached. Obviously, it's not been coached well enough. That's on me. You cannot butt guys down at our level, and we made that mistake again yesterday several times."
The Gamecocks "wore down" in the fourth quarter against the Gators, Muschamp said.
"Too many missed tackles and that's something we have been saying from week to week," he said. "We lost too many one on ones. When it's a draw, the offense wins. We have to defeat blocks."
Most of the team's tackling issues are at the linebacker and safety positions, Muschamp said.

- Going "far enough." The shape of a novel is like a giant breath. It begins slow, rises, reaches a peak, and then, at the exact climax, there is a catch in the narrative breath. It may come as the hero or heroine acts, finally most completely and courageously themselves. An author has to fight for that "catch in the breath." Has to know his or her character well enough and be willing to go far enough in the telling. I believe the subconscious is part of that ecstatic juncture. Somehow the subconscious knows that when the human being is at a major crossroads, it comes down to breathing and surviving, and the words and rhythms for that come from the well of the subconscious.
See Chautauqua speech "Transcending as a Verb".
- Sassy Is as Sassy Does. A character begins somewhere and, by dint of their journey, faces tests and obstacles and is finally challenged with a crisis that will test his or her new found self. So, there is a beginning point to a novel character's life. It begins here and, facing obstacles, goes there. The most engaging heroes or heroines for the narrative are frequently sassy! In a great variety. Alice in Wonderland is sassy, finally standing up to the Queen of Hearts. Harry Potter may be simply an inconvenience to his aunt and uncle at the beginning of Harry Potter, but that boy gets gumption and stands up to more amazing creatures than we want to count. Holden Caulfield is one sassy young adult in Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger as he gives you straight talk about how he feels, and what he's determined to do about it. A sassy character has attitude, and any character, sass or not, has to have distinct attitude that will drive story: The foster child Gilly Hopkins in The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson, has attitude big time. She isn't only Gilly Hopkins, she is the great Gilly Hopkins, no matter what other people think. She wants a mother, and doesn't care in the beginning who she has to offend to discover and recover that mother. Some characters like Palmer in Wringer by Jerry Spinelli can get away without pure sass; but they need attitude. Palmer who more than anything doesn't want to be a wringer, ending the life of wounded pigeons at the annual pigeon shoot, needs eventually to care enough, be determined enough, to stand up in the face of hundreds for his pet pigeon, and for what he knows is right.See Chautauqua speech "Sassy Is as Sassy Does".
- Voice. I have opened literally hundreds of brown manuscript envelopes, solicited and unsolicited, which means that I have had very little time to consider each one. As an editor, I am not alone in this. I sit down with the manuscript, look at the first page. If I "hear" Voice in the language of the storyteller on that first page, I will read on. If I read flat storytelling without passion or individuality – without Voice – I will simply fold the title page over, put the manuscript back in the brown envelope and send it back to the writer. What is Voice; it is conversational storytelling. It is a verbal thumbprint of what the character is, where the character stands, what the character wants – or doesn't want. It will help drive the story to its climax.
Voice can be somewhat archaic, if it is used in a fantasy, but whether it is a fantasy voice or the voice of a contemporary narrator, it is conversational. Just as conversation is irregular, with its share of exclamations, asides, fragments, run-ons, running along the breathing and emotional patterns of the narrator, so is Voice. It seems to be one of the hardest aspects of the craft to grasp, but it is essential to come to grips with it. Ironically, it is relaxing your writer's speech, rather than becoming self-consciously literary in tone. I often tell writers searching for Voice: Pretend you (or your narrator) are writing this story to a close friend. Confide your story in them. This will get you close enough to the emotional bones of your story, as well as to the Voice that you need to tell it.
"The Search for Voice", Inkwell, Issue 6, Spring 1998, Manhattanville College.
- Writing on a Slant. I am always looking for words to press a writer into new space. New idea. It is not enough to reconfigure Cinderella one more time, or even Judy Blume. A writer needs to go to new character and new space, and to look at each in a new way. Look at life on a slant, the viewpoint being quirky, surprising, innovative. Think of The Giver by Lois Lowry, inventing "on her slant" a world so proscribed that almost all risks are eliminated, history is present only in the mind of The Giver, and where – surprisingly enough – there is no free will. Now there's a slant to test Jonas, the main character, who shocks himself when he discovers he doesn't want to be The Giver. Holes by Louis Sacher: looking at Green Camp the way Sacher did, a camp whose main activity appears to be digging holes, is looking at life, then writing, "on a slant." Books like The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick, a kind of literary graphic novel, are written on such a slant that we are thrilled with the originality. People think a writer needs a hook, a vampire, a tragedy. What people need is a vision that allows them to run against the mainstream and type, in search of story, to imagine not what is, but what can or might be.See Chautauqua speech "Writing on a Slant".

Palm Strikes Back, Enables iTunes Sync Again
Apparently, the game is on. Apple broke Palm's syncing solution with iTunes 8.2.1 on July 15; now Palm has fixed it, only a week later, with Palm WebOS 1.1.
The 1.1 update is highly recommended for all Palm Pre users, as it not only fixes iTunes sync but apparently adds a bunch of new features, from a new "forward-swipe" gesture in the Web browser, to Sprint's NFL Mobile application, to compatibility with various Microsoft Exchange Server features that caused previous Palm Pre versions to choke.
Palm representatives declined to comment.
I'm pretty thrilled that Palm has decided to stick to their guns and continue to try to provide the best possible PC syncing experience with the Pre. Let's see what Apple does next. Originally posted to AppScout. This story was updated at 6:21 AM PDT on July 24 after contacting Palm for comment.

It's 'Koori chick lit' for the very first time; A romantic romp in the vein of Sex and the City with some big plusses - a little reluctance for love and an Indigenous Australian central character in the international art world.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Book Details
- Author: Anita Heiss
There is a famous quote which says 'write the book you want to read, the one you cannot find.'
Those words inspired indigenous author Dr Anita Heiss.
"When I realised that I didn't see any of the women in my world on the page in Australian literature I decided to write those books," says Anita.
Anita joined Nicole Dyer from Mornings to talk about her book 'Paris Dreaming' in which young indigenous woman Libby travels to Paris to work at the Musee du Quai Branley.
Libby's quest to avoid love by travelling to Paris does not go to plan and her new worklife isn't without its' challenges.
"It is the kind of book you buy at the airport and read on a plane and pass it on," says guest reviewer Roseanne Sinclair.
Both Roseanne and fellow reviewer Annette Davis were both impressed by the indigenous art references in the book and wanted to find out more.
Anita describes; "I was in the Mussee du Quai Branely in 2008 and saw the indigenous commission we gifted to the French.
"I wanted to share the internationalisation of indigenous art and the impact it is having in Europe."
Anita places less emphasis on what is different in our society and more on what makes us the same.
"I think as women regardless of age and where we live and whether we are rich or poor - we all fall in love and fear rejection," she says.
"It's about being a human being, not being black or white."

Get A Great FaucetPosted on
Having a faucet with nice features and is durable can be quite beneficial. That's because with such you can make your work in the kitchen easier. When you'd have that which can supply you with the right amount and type of water that you need, you may be able to clean food and other types of items faster and thoroughly. Also, when you'd have that which has a hose, you may be able to maintain your sink far better since you'd have the opportunity to reach areas that are typically difficult to wash through a conventional faucet.
Now, if you're going to buy one in the near future, you should consider the advice mentioned. If you'd be picky during your purchase, you may just end up with the type that you'd be proud of and is literally very helpful. Still, if you're interested in knowing more techniques related to how to buy a great faucet for one's home, please read further.
If you wish to have a faucet that would be great for you to use for cooking then you may want to have the type that can be adjusted. You could choose to go for the type that can be set to have cold or hot water streaming. Still, you could select the model that has an adjustable nozzle so that you would have control over the amount of water that flows down.
Usually, faucets with modern features are costly because they can do more than ordinary ones. The pricey products are worth getting, though, because they could make food preparation, sanitation and other kitchen tasks easier and faster. However, if you're serious about having a faucet that can really give you control when it comes to how you wash, you ought to go for the one that has a spout that can swivel or a retractable hose. That's because these faucet designs are perfect for homeowners who wish to experience convenience and luxury altogether.
To easily go over different faucets, you don't really have to travel to hardware stores. You don't even have to ask those who are familiar to you or individuals whom you think could help you out. That's because, independently, you could take advantage of the information that's available on the worldwide web. The internet has numerous websites where you could check out faucets that are on display and are specifically sold to home and business owners.
By just searching "best rated kitchen faucets" or similar terms using today's most popular search engines, you could immediately discover new and classic faucet models plus websites that contain reviews that may help you come up with decisive decisions. While you do some shopping and researching online, though, you should bear in mind what your kitchen literally needs so that you could truly pick what's best for you.

Me and my friend have spent few days in the Wakkan valley. The initial plan was to bike this valley and join the M41 (Pamir Highway). One side of this valley is in Tajikistan and afganistan. Instead of biking the Wakkan has more people are doing nowdays, we have decided t ther and trek. This was, it would aloowed us to see both valley The plan was to get back to Khorong to get back the bicycle and bike the Pamir (normal road). We took a share taxi to get to Vrang. The goal was to get to Vrang pass. A pass that raise over 5000 meters. Unfortuanatly, as many other tourists that have stayed in the Pamir lodge in Khorog, I got sick. One of my worst hike ever !!!! I was so weak. I think I got the gardia, a commun desease in Central Asia. Of course, I have never reached the pass. I spend one day sleeping in the tent. It last couple days. I tought I had food poisonning. Its when I got back to Korong that some people told me about the Gardia and…. I was not the only one to be hill When I got back to the hostel, some other cyclists have recommended me some antibiotic.
The Wakkan valley is beautiful. The valley is wide, green, plenty of very nice people and you follow the Indu Kush range.
When we got back to Khorong, I have decided to leave my friend behind and bike the Pamir on my own. I was feeling much more confident about this country and I wanted to be 100 % free, not doing any compromises. The night before my firt pass above 4000 m., I woke up in panic. I could not breath !!!! I was feeling someone was shocking me. At first, I did not tought it was altitude sickness. I was at about 3500 meters high, which is not too much and I did not have any headache. I tought I was doing an alergic reaction to my antibiotic…I was in panic, trying to calm down and breath slowly…. Than in the morning, I have started to feel the pressure in my ears, I could not leen forward…So, It was the altitude sickness. I had never got that before !!!! Terrible !!!! Usually, you should always sleep below your highest elevation point to get acclimate. So, that morning, I have decided to push my bike all the way to the pass and sleep right after. So, I would be in a lower elevation for the night. It has worked !!!!! I put my tent near a sheperd house. I ate dinner and breakfast with a nice family.
When I got on the Pamir plateau, to things came to my mind: wow and OMG !!! It was very beautiful but the landsacpe was different that what I was execting….a big dry desert ! Will I will enjoy this lololol I told myself. I did !!!!! And, actually, the Pamir highway is pretty much one of the easiest road I have ever bike. I think its why its so famous. I believe the road coming from Kyrghistan is much more difficult but the way I did it, I almost felt I was always going down or on a flat road. There are some passes but, the road is already so high. You don't climb that much to get over those passes. Maybe 300-400 meters.
The landscape was beautiful but the people were very different. On the pamir plateau, most of people are from Kyrghistan. As soon as you get on the top, the people's face are changing. Their eyes are like the chineese, they faces are more round, ther wear different hat. But, their energies are also very different.. After Alichour, I have ask hospitality to pitch my tent beside two yurts. I took my bike and went offroad. The women has offered me to stay inside one of the two yurts instead of sleeping in my tent. It was cold and windy YEEEEEEE !!!!!! I was dreaming about this moment since years. I was like a child. She has left me the whole yurt for myself. For dinner and breakfast, I had share some of my food. I believe you should never pay people when you stay with them….Not everyone is agreeing with me but I believe to this….Leave no trace !!! The pamir is remote and fragile because so many people are visiting this area. You need to be careful how you are interacting with the people. When I left in the morning, she has ask me some money for my stay. I have refused and told her she had invited me inside. Then, I just left. This was the beginning of my desapointements with the kirghis people. It had never happen with any tajik people. They are so generous and kind !!! I really hope one day one of you will go there !!!!! Such a majic country !
In murgab, I spend some time with a friend. Together, we have travel some valleys on his motorbike. It was nice beacuse we have visited some roads that I would not have been doing with the bike. When I travel on bicycle, I don't like to go back and forth on the same road.
The highlight of the pamir was the strech from Karakol to sary tash (kyrghistan). I did this section of the road with a swiss cyclist. This section is very impressive because you can see many white peak.

Release Date: Mar 22, 2005
Record label: Elektra
Genre(s): R&B
If It's Me Again had a couple more up-tempo tracks and fewer scene jackings from Missy Elliott, it would have no trouble matching the greatness of 2002's Southern Hummingbird. Elliott's berserk (not Bazerk) squawks vandalize return single "Turn da Lights Off," a Kwamé co-production touched by old-school elegance and vinyl crackle à la Monica's "So Gone" -- another moment when Elliott should've been blocked from the vocal booth. (Get on the bus, indeed; where are Road to Stardom judges Teena Marie and Dallas Austin when you need them?) Like on Southern Hummingbird, slow tempos and spare arrangements dominate, but restlessness is bound to set in during the latter half.

"Learning about people from diverse backgrounds teaches you to how to communicate and be empathetic with different people. These skills are essential for all careers. I always draw on my Religious Studies major to ask, What do I need to do to communicate? How do I connect with people?" Mohamad Saltagi, Religious Studies B.A. and Biology B.S. '13
The academic interests that students bring to Religious Studies are as varied as the career paths they take after graduation. Applying their knowledge of diverse cultures, community dynamics, and human motivations, our graduates have found employment in:
Religious Studies attracts curious inquirers and global thinkers who are passionate about big ideas and complex problems. About half of our majors pursue graduate school, including the following areas in recent years: law, social work, counseling, philanthropy and nonprofit studies, medicine, religious studies, ministry, history, philosophy, bioethics, linguistics and literacy, educational psychology, conservation biology, and robotics.
"Two majors are always better than one." Sarah Mohlke Johnson, Family Services Director, Head Start, LaPorte County
The variety in these career paths and graduate schools shows how well Religious Studies complements other fields of study. Here are some popular double majors and the early career paths that graduates have taken:

Robbed of a Childhood: Child Soldiers in Somalia
Think back to when you were little, maybe 9 years old; where did you spend most of your time? What are your fondest memories? What did you look forward to? Maybe you passed most of your days at school or at home. Did you enjoy playing sports and going to choir rehearsal? Maybe you loved being with your family reading books and watching movies. For many children in Somalia, this is far from the reality. Their realities are flooded with violence, war, and fear. According to the United Nations, the Somali Government is one of the most persistent violators of sending children into war situations. These are children ranging from the age of 9 to 18, who have been born into a country that has been in turmoil since before their first breath.
Somalia was a former colony of Great Britain, France, and Italy. In 1960, the country gained independence; the British and Italian territory was combined into what is now known as Somalia, and the French territory separated and became Djibouti. From 1969 to 1991, Somalia was a socialist state under the leadership of Major General Muhammad Siad Barre. In 1991, rebel forces overthrew the Barre regime and anarchy ensued. Intervention attempts since the early 1990s by the United Nations, the United States, and the African Union have all been unsuccessful. In the early part of the 2000's, a Transitional Federal Government was established with the political and financial support of the UN and the United States. This caused fragmentation between various groups of people and gave rise to notorious rebel groups such as the Somali chapter of al-Qaeda, al-Shabaab. Al-Shabaab is the main rebel group operating in Somalia.
Throughout this seemingly endless conflict, children have been drawn into the fight. Both the rebel forces and the Somali government employ the use of child soldiers and are known to have killed and maimed children to pursue their interests in the civil war. According to Elman Peace and Human Rights Center in Mogadishu, it is estimated that 20 percent of the government forces and up to 80 percent of the rebel forces are children. This does not mean that all children are on the front lines; other roles that they might fulfill include camp support workers (e.g.cooking, cleaning), messengers, sex slaves, or recruiters. For many children, joining the fight is a better option than trying to resist either side. In a country fraught with conflict, families are broken up, children are orphaned, and the threat of starvation and death are imminent.
It is interesting to note the high percentage of child soldiers on the side of the rebel forces. This could be attributed to the general recruitment techniques of al-Shabaab. Whereas many groups kidnap and drug children to recruit them, al-Shabaab uses a method that makes the children feel empowered to fight or work in the ranks. When al-Shabaab gains control over a new town, the group set up schools and other services that resemble the goal of sustainable rebuilding, but in fact, they are building training camps. In the schools, children are then indoctrinated with jihadist and anti-governmental ideologies.
Al-Shabaab creates a system of reward-based learning so children feel worthy and like they belong to a community, an element of safety they may have never experienced before. Al-Shabaab understands the manipulability of children. Because children don't understand if the battle is being won or lost, they will just follow orders and are therefore easy to use at the frontlines. While the reward-based tactics of recruitment sound peaceful, there is no doubt that al-Shabaab uses violence to recruit children, especially when recruiting girls as brides for commanders. The families of girls who do not willingly become wives are threatened into forcing their daughters to be wed. Furthermore, these training camps would be impossible before a violent conquer of villages and towns by al-Shabaab.
What is being done to remove children from conflict situation? International Law on child soldiers is vague and protocols in place are weak. Article 38 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child requests that governments take precautions against the recruitment of children under the age of 15 into conflict situations. As for the Somali conflict, the Transitional Federal Government has pledged to end the recruitment of children since 2010. A more concrete action plan was signed by the Transitional Federal Government and the UN in 2012. It dictates termination of the practice of recruitment and use of children in the Somali national armed forces; the reintegration into society, with UN support, of all children released from the armed forces; the criminalization in national legislation of the recruitment and use of children; and the provision to the UN of unimpeded access to military installations to verify the presence or absence of children. Unfortunately, according to the HRW World Report 2015, progress has been slow on these action plans.
The lack of action to protect these children is detrimental because so many lives are being corrupted or lost. Even more worrisome, when the conflict comes to an end, the population that will be rebuilding the country will have never known a time of peace and security.

Does anyone still read Dylan Thomas? Other than 'Do not go gentle into that good night?' He was a significant literary figure when I was growing up. His collected poems was the first book of poems I bought, in 1976. Perhaps he was an antidote to the spare understated poetry that was so ubiquitous. And then like a lot of things that were important in adolescence he was left behind.
Today the alliterating, three adjectives to every noun and no verb without an adverb tub thumbing pulpit pounding style can seem overloaded, tortuous, and teter on the edge of meaninglessness, but, often as in this poem, his style is still a pleasure to read aloud.
