Opinions of Wednesday, 19 September 2018
Columnist: Myjoyonline.com
Many have complained loudly about the monetary value this country stands to gain from Sinohydro in exchange for its Bauxite, an amount referred to as pittance by a portion of the Ghanaian society. I do not care about the amount, though I am tickled, for it is a recurring decimal that we always receive chicken feed for our precious minerals and mineraloids.
Anyone familiar with the technological processes and aftermath of mining will assert that its Environmental and social impacts (ESI) outweigh its monetary gains.
The Sinohydro-Ghana pact has attracted my attention not because I hold a degree in Mining Engineering, but partly because the life of a national heritage is at stake, and mainly because of the nature of the characters involved: Ghana and China. Ghana, a nation with deficiency in law enforcement; and China, a country reported to be a serial lawbreaker and a bottom feeder by an impressive number of African countries and the West
Mr. President, it is based on the above illustrations that I bring to you this missive for your consideration. It has not escaped my mind that you might have received advice on this subject matter, and I respect that. I am, also, aware that advice of this nature do, sometimes, come in broad strokes, or with boring jargons. Hence, you might want to consider this incisive piece, which spells out the importance of Environmental and Social Impacts Assessment (ESIA), and why you should enforce it to the core in this deal and subsequent ones.
Before I proceed to throw light on the ESIA, allow me to go off track in order to be on track, Mr. President. Mining has always harboured the good intention of improving infrastructure, increasing employment, and developing rural communities. But this intention only becomes a reality when there is transparency, honesty, and trust among the affected community, the State, and the mining company involved. Anything short of this will leave the host community or country with negative impacts. This is because some of the exotic mining companies are not honest, this means that they are, just, interested in what they stand to benefit with very little or no considerations towards the environment, local community or development of the host nation. Mr. President, you should, therefore, consider my reservations, and the concerns of the many who see things through my eyes.
ESIA addresses socio-political conflicts, health and safety issues, housing displacements and employment issues. The same, also, seeks to find solutions to water quality and accessibility, mine waste management, air quality, biodiversity loss, land disturbance, etc.
I will want to remind you to look out for the following from the ESIA reports, whether the mining is going to take place in the Atewa forest or Dagbandabefong; Nyinahin or Bolgatanga; Awaso or Bunkurugu; Obuasi or Ho, down South or up North; East or West:
If you do not see Mine Closure Plan in any of the documents, Mr. President, then, be assured that Sinohydro is going to leave our land naked after they are done shipping our Bauxite, as it (Mine Closure Plan) contains the miner's plan of how to repair the damage they will cause to the environment during the extraction of the ore deposit.
The management of mine tailings is the worst environmental challenge to the mining industry. Some time back, tailings were dumped into nearby rivers. This caused rivers to spill off its banks and flood communities. It has also caused rivers to dry up. Due to these and more, most countries have vowed to disavow this manner of waste management. But, since this method is cheaper and the miner involved in this current deal is always looking for means to maximize profit, it might resort to this unwelcome waste management method if not well checked. So, Mr. President, you might want to take note of that.
To add, tailings dam system is considered as a better alternative of waste management, however, when tailings dam is not properly constructed or managed, it can fail and let the waste and pollutants into nearby rivers, and/or also infiltrate into the earth and contaminate underground water. Why contaminate our water reserves when researchers speculate that, soon, water will become the most scare and expensive commodity?
I stay abreast of the duties of the environmental and mining regulatory bodies like the EPA and minerals commission, and the security services, so I know it is part of their duties to take care of these concerns raised. Just that the reputation of these bodies have come to disrepute since the reincarnation of the galamsey saga, somewhere last year. Hence, you might want to intervene so that mining giants who obey laws in their own countries will not cut corners and neglect the environment, the host community and the development of this nation. And in case you have already put in structures to contain the predicted situation, then, this missive will serve as a good reminder.
In sum, Mr. President, your work is not the sedentary type, I understand. So you barely have time to sit to read long letters. I will, therefore, end here by reminding you to check on the history of the company that is to mine our Bauxite: consider the past conduct of the company in other places where it has mined. If you cannot make much time to do a thorough check, Mr. President, then...a cursory check on it will do.
Viva Ghana!

Pituitary microadenoma
Secondary amenorrhea and elevated prolactin (over 1200)
Patient Data
Loading images...
Loading Stack -
0 images remaining
On the right side of the pituitary gland, inferiorly, abutting the floor of the fossa, is a 3 x 4 x 5 mm region of hypo enhancement, best seen on dynamic contrast enhanced sequences, consistent with a microadenoma. The pituitary is generally plumper, with an upwardly convex border, which is however common in this age group. No compression of the optic chiasm or optic nerves.
The remainder of the imaged brain (please note this study has been targeted to the pituitary, and as such the whole brain has not been imaged) appears unremarkable.
Case Discussion
When there is a known hormone producing lesion, a small microadenoma can be diagnosed with confidence. This is clearly abnormal and no equivocation is needed.
The patient is undergoing medical therapy.

Kabbalah Secrets; Digging out the hidden codes and teaching of kabbalah. The Key to the True Kabbalah by Franz Bardon. Qabalah Basics. Kabbala 101. Kabbalah.com. When the sun is set and the stars decorate the heavens, part of our soul leaves our body.
Even if we remain awake, part of the soul still departs, which is one reason why we begin to feel more tired and drained as night unfolds. During actual sleep, the Zohar explains that 59 of the 60 parts of our soul leave our bodies, leaving only 1/60 to sustain us physically. When the body is in slumber, the chains of physical existence are suddenly broken. The soul is now free to ascend to a high place in the spiritual realm where it receives nourishment and information. Why the need for a recharge? During our "metaphysical tune-up," the soul is in a realm beyond time and space.
Thus, in addition to getting a recharge, the soul oftentimes catches sight of events that are coming our way, both positive and negative. These glimpses are then filtered down to the body, where they take the form of dreams. Most of our dreams are a combo-plate special. Don't panic just yet. Big Think Interview With Michael Laitman. With rendition switcher Question: What are the basic precepts of Kabbalah?
Michael Laitman: The wisdom of Kabbalah originated in ancient Babylon, where people discovered it for the first time. It talks about the foundations of the universe of the world. And thus far, only very few people have engaged in it through the generations, but it's been around for four and half thousand years. But now, it is evolving and emerging because, now, we need this wisdom. And because it was hidden for so many years, people thought that it was about mysticism, magic, misconceptions. Rosicrucian Kabbalah. The Kabbalah and Freemasonry. The Mixed Qabalah – First Working « Ananael. As many of you know, I recently published an essay entitled The Return of Psalm Magick and the Mixed Qabalah.
(Find it in both Hoodoo and Conjure Quarterly and Diamond Fire Magazine.) In that essay, I reviewed two books released by Avalonia Publishing, one of which was A Collection of Magical Secrets & a Treatise of Mixed Cabalah by Skinner and Rankine. This is two different pamphlets published together, and I found myself utterly captivated by A Treatise of Mixed Cabalah. The Mixed Qabalah of Abramelin Anyone who has read the Book of Abramelin (French or German) understands why that title would peak my interest. Those who have only read the French (aka "Mathers") version of Abramelin have missed an important part of the puzzle.
What we find in the restored Book II (see Georg Dehn's Book of Abramelin) is fairly standard scriptural magick – like we would find in Use of the Psalms or Avalonia's recent publication of The Book of Gold. I would assume the prayer is written upon parchment. Hermetic Kabbalah. Sepher Yetzirah. 1.
Sepher Raziel HaMalach. Blessed are the wise by the mysteries coming from the wisdom.
Hebrew Letters, Gesture and Language: Index. PUBLISHED ARTICLES ON LANGUAGE AND GESTURE (update 1999-2000) Considerable research has been done on the subject of the gestural origins of language in the three years since we first published these Hebrew alphabet gestures.
For those interested in this research, the articles below are highly recommended. Excerpts from Why People Gesture When they Speak, ©1998 by Iverson and Goldin-Meadow (Reprinted with authors' permission. Complete article published in Nature, November 19, 1998) Research shows that persons blind from birth gesture while speaking in the same manner and using the same range of gestures as do sighted persons -- even when speaking with another blind person. Adam Kadmon – The First Man. In the religious writings of Kabbalah, Adam Kadmon is a phrase meaning "Primal Man".
The oldest rabbinical source for the term "Adam ha-? Admoni" is Num. R. x., where Adam is styled, not as usually, "Ha-Rishon" (the first), "Ha-Kadmoni" (the original). It is said that Adam ? Admon had rays of light projecting from his eyes. Adam ? The various philosophical views concerning the Primal Man are, in spite of their differences, intimately related, being a compound of widespread mythology, Greek philosophy, and rabbinical theology.

What do you think is the main reason why nurses really want to work out of the country ? Is it all about money? experience? Personal growth? Maybe we are holding a lot of reasons that can answer that question.
I am one of those thousands of nurses who grabbed the opportunity to work abroad. Upon my application, I was pretty sure that I am really decided to work out of the country. As I started to work in the hospital where I am currently working right now, the huge courage that I've been carrying before I go, was replaced by a gigantic sadness which is commonly known as the "HOMESICKNESS SYNDROME". It is very common especially for the first timers to feel that way. It is very hard to work alone in the place of nowhere, where you cannot find any way out. Admit it or not, we really miss our life back in the Philippines. Everyday shopping, hanging out, unlimited call and texting, party all night, and what more life cannot resist FAMILY BONDING.
Is it really a need for a Nurse to work abroad? Financially speaking, isang malaking OO ang sagot ko. When I was in the Philippines, I have a stable job as a staff nurse in a tertiary Hospital but salary wise I was not satisfied with what I was earning. Kaya ng mabalitaan ang agency sugod naman kami ng friends ko. We took the Prometric Exam to get our Saudi License as soon as possible, thank God we made it. So many good and positive things were built upon us by our agency regarding our workplace and home accommodation, but all of a sudden when we reached the Hospital and the house where we are going to live iyak na lang ang nagawa ng bawat isa sa amin sabay sabi "Ano ba itong pinasok ko?!". Honestly speaking, the place was like HELL.. Sa sampung magagandang sinabi ng agency, walang totoo.. We all wanted to go back home, but unluckily, there's no way out. We were stuck and all we have to do na lang ay magtiis ng dalawang taon.
KSA gave me one good thing, its my new FRIENDS, particularly my room mates. They are the ones who made my life happy in the midst of depression. Each of them has a good story to tell, different personalities and attitudes but we can simply jive with each other. Problems will always be present on us; nandyan na ang pambayad utang para makarating sa Saudi, namatayan ng kamag anak pero wala kang mgawa, may naospital sa pamilya at kailangan ng pera, iniwan mong love life ay naagaw ng iba, anak na hindi lumalaki sa piling ng ina..haiii puro problema nakakasawa na sabi nga nila. We came here carrying ourselves and the courage within us, kaya nga courage na lang ang panlaban sa problema. We are all hoping na umabot ng dalawang taon ang courage na yan.. That's why I really want to correct the connotations of others way back in the Philippines about OFWs na "madami ng pera si Juan dahil nakaabroad na"..oopps teka po hindi po porke nasa ABROAD na marami ng pera, kelangan pang kumayod kabayo para makapagpadala sa pamilya, hindi niyo alam kung anong hirap ang dinadanas ng bawat Pilipino..haiii (kakapikon lang..) haha..
Everyday is a daily routine for us, we are all hoping that time will run so fast for us and will eventually reach the day in which we will finish our contract. We still have 1 more year and few more months so please Kingdom of Saudi Arabia… please be good to us.

((Originally posted by Typherian.))
Typherian Shadowstaff was born to a noble family of Silvermoon City. He and his older brother, Pae'thas, were meant for great things, his parents were told. Both were born to a weakened people, who had endured the hardships of the First War. Pae'thas was taught to be a solider, while Typherian was trained in the arcane arts. Pae'thas had promise, becoming quite a skilled warrior, while Typherian struggled in his studies. It became clear to his teachers what the problem was rather quickly..... Pae'thas was telling Typherian of all of his training and adventures, and Typherian wanted to have a life of adventure like his brother. Angry, their parents decided to divide the boys, and sent Typherian to Tranquillen to study while Pae'thas stayed in Silvermoon City to train.
It was years later, when the boys had become men, that Typherian learned that his brother had been present at Caer Darrow when the Horde, under the leadership of Gul'dan, razed the keep and killed it's inhabitants. Typherian, who had been only marginally interested in his studies before, embraced them rather fiercely. His parents pressuring him further did not help, as they told him that as their only surviving son, that it was up to him to live up to his family name. The pressure began to fragment Typherian mentally, but this would not show until much later. Sadly, Typherian's training would not be finish before the Second War was over. Typherian would not get his revenge. To spite his parents, and to grieve for his beloved brother, Typherian refused to return to Silvermoon City, citing that there was still much to study.
Several years passed.
Then came the Third War, and the shocking assault of Arthas Menethil. Typherian had heard of the Regencide he had committed to his own father, but had not expected that the madman would turn on Quel'Thalas. When he did, Typherian was nowhere nearby. He had gone to Dalaran, hoping to learn techniques from the Kirin Tor. When he heard of the Scourge assault, he quickly came home to find his parents dead, and his ancestral home in flames. He had nothing left but his name. Fortunately, his name was enough. He proceeded to play the political games of Silvermoon, struggling to regain what he had lost while the Third War happened far from him, much to his sadness. He took part in the alliance with the Naga, and the transition to becoming the Sin'dorei. He was an admirer of Kael'thas Sunstrider, and would have followed him to Outlands if he had had the choice. Instead he stayed in Silvermoon City, helping to rebuild. It wasn't until later that he heard of his prince's corruption, and felt great shame. To atone, he helped the blood elves join the Horde to stop him.
During the assault on the Lich King, Typherian consulted with the Kirin Tor, who had called upon many favors to have him come to Dalaran, as they needed assistance in dealing with the Scourge He never saw combat, but was told that his contributions aided in the siege of Icecrown Citadel. He returned shortly after to Silvermoon City to continue the rebuidling process. The Cataclysm had little effect on him, and he stayed in Silvermoon for most of it. He had become a politician, much to his annoyance. But when word came of the discovery of Pandaria, Regent Lord Theron listened to key rivals that Typherian had, and sent him off with the Horde Expedition to the strange land. It was meant to be a death sentence. It turned out to be worse.
His encounters with the various Sha of that land unhinged his mind, inflating the dormant fractures in his psyche to an incredible extent. In his madness, he attempted to use the magic he had found amongst the Klaaxi Mantid to empower himself, and create a means of crushing his enemies. He planned to present his findings to the Regent Lord, assuming that he would be well-rewarded for his achievement. It was on his way to depart for Silvermoon City that he heard of the Siege of Orgrimmar. He was told the Lord Regent would be there, and decided it would be a perfect opportunity to show him what he had discovered.
But the Klaaxi had also come, as well. And they did not survive. Their magic was extingushed when their Paragons were killed. Some of them by Typherian's own hand. He could not believe that their magic would die with them. The discovery that Typherian had come to show the Lord Regent was gone. And while Typherian was afforded a great deal of popularity due to his involvement in the Siege, the nicename 'Typherian the Wakener' was given to him as a joke, as the Klaaxi had called him that before they were wiped out.
And now? Typherian the Wakener is called upon by the Lord Regent again, this time for another suicide mission. Typherian will not fail. He cannot.

A Staten Island judge ruled on Monday that he would hear arguments this month over whether to release grand jury transcripts in the case of Eric Garner, the man who died after being placed in a chokehold by a police officer.
The grand jury's decision last month not to bring any criminal charges against the officer who was seen in a video applying the chokehold has led to a steady campaign of protests and widespread outrage, including among many elected leaders, who have raised the issue of racial equity because Mr. Garner was black.
It also has exacerbated tensions between Mayor Bill de Blasio and the Police Department after the mayor reacted to the grand jury's decision by noting that he has often cautioned his son, who is biracial, to be careful in his interactions with police officers. Some officers believe the mayor's comments cast aspersions on the department.
And many critics questioned the grand jury process and the lack of any criminal charge against the officer, Daniel Pantaleo, given that his actions were captured on video and an autopsy determined that Mr. Garner's death was a homicide that resulted, in part, from the chokehold.
Four parties — the Legal Aid Society; the New York Civil Liberties Union; Letitia James, the city's public advocate; and The New York Post — have asked that the transcripts of the grand jury proceedings be unsealed.
Among those in the courtroom on Monday was Gwen Carr, Mr. Garner's mother, who wore a sweatshirt that read, "I Can't Breathe," Mr. Garner's final words, which have become a rallying cry for crowds that have protested the grand jury decision.
"At least we'll have some transparency and see what they were ruling on," Ms. Carr said outside the courtroom.
In papers filed on Friday, Daniel M. Donovan Jr., the Staten Island district attorney, who presented the case to the grand jury, argued that the transcripts should stay sealed "to lessen the adverse consequences of unsuccessful criminal prosecutions."
"No individual should suffer adverse consequences merely on the basis of an accusation," he argued.
Outside the courthouse, police officers had set up metal crowd-control fences, though only a handful of protesters stood on the steps and held signs in a cold wind.
Justice William E. Garnett, of State Supreme Court, said that on Jan. 29 lawyers for the four petitioners would have an opportunity to make their arguments and Mr. Donovan would have a chance to respond.
Justice Garnett was appointed to the case involving the transcripts in December after the original jurist, Justice Stephen J. Rooney, recused himself, citing a potential conflict of interest involving his wife.

By Constance Garcia-Barrio
Some silences defy breaking. The hush around contributions of many Black women, especially poor ones, to Philadelphia's past and present sink into such quiet. They sewed clothes, washed dishes, tended privies and kept the city running, but they rate not a word in most histories. Yet, how would President George Washington's dinners for diplomats in his "big house on Market Street" have gone without enslaved Blacks to cook and serve them? How would Philadelphians have looked and smelled without Black wash mammies? This yearlong series on Black women, especially from the working class, will wrestle with the quiet that erases most of them from history and damns them to scant respect.
The series will quote from historical documents, if available. For example, some records of the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society refer to its Black members. On the other hand, some women of African heritage never learned to read or write because they had no chance to attend school or, in the case of slavery, the law forbade it. Harriet Tubman never became literate because of Maryland laws. She sometimes did cleaning in Philadelphia to earn money to finance her trips to free slaves, but we'll never know in her own words how she felt about the city since she left no written record beyond a few dictated letters.
Although Philly-centered, the series will occasionally refer to related sources in other places. For instance, Reminiscences of My Life, A Black Woman's Civil War Memoir by South Carolina fugitive slave Susie King Taylor deserves mention, but the story will focus on Emilie Davis's Civil War, the Diaries of a Free Black Woman in Philadelphia, 1863-1865.
Besides documents, the series will focus on museums, re-enactors, exhibitions, personalities, events, and experts. For example, Kali Gross, Ph.D., studied African-American women lawbreakers in the late 1800s, one of whom just about got away with murder.
The past provides a launching pad for the series, which will also look at the present. One feature will include a certain SEPTA bus driver who has a secret life as an artist.
Please stay tuned.
It seems fair, since I'm a native Philadelphian, to begin with some of my own family background. My oldest story reaches back to a maternal great-great-great grandmother, Hannah. It is said that she walked chained with a coffle of other slaves from Baltimore, where the trans-Atlantic slaver landed, to Spotsylvania County, Virginia. I've gleaned few details about her, but family lore has plenty to say about my maternal great-grandmother, Rose Wilson Ware, or Maw. Born into slavery about 1851, Maw saw soldiers retreating from the 1864 Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse during the Civil War. She died in 1964—yes, she lived 113 years—long enough to see the Civil Rights Movement.
A house servant in slavery time, Maw somehow learned to read and write, though it was prohibited. I speculate that Maw tended to her master's children during their lessons and absorbed the knowledge. When freedom came at the end of the Civil War, she and her husband, Jacob, scrimped, sharecropped and bought land. A deep-chested, plain-spoken, chocolate-brown woman, Maw began each day with a prayer and a tot of gin. She was a seamstress, herbalist, and farmer. As a scribe for illiterate neighbors both Black and white in Partlow—the location of the Virginia plantation where Kunta Kinte, a character in Alex Haley's book Roots was enslaved—Maw knew many people's private business because they brought her letters to read to them. She had enough of a reputation as a sharpshooter to keep the Ku Klux Klan at bay. Widowed early, she took a lover in her sixties.
My mother would take us to Maw's farm for a few weeks each summer. Around the time I had an inkling of what Maw's life meant, she died. I do have a vivid memory of what happened the last time I saw her alive. Maw was 112 at that time. Her mind was clear, but she had so many grandchildren, great-grands, and more, that it took her a moment to place us in the horde of descendants. When she realized that I was her great-granddaughter through Cleoria, (my mother's name) she asked me to come over to the sofa where she spent her days. Then she told me to lift my skirt. I was surprised, but how could I disobey someone so old? With gnarled hands she felt my calves, knees, and thighs, and then smiled. As soon as we left Maw's rutted drive to return to Philly, I asked my mother why Maw had gone over me that way.
"Maw was a farmer," my mother explained. "Before she bought a horse, cow, or mule, she would feel its legs for knots and things to know whether it was a strong animal. She was checking to see if you were healthy."
My mother grew up, in large part, on Maw's farm. "Maw kept me in the kitchen because the livestock scared me," my mother used to say. "I knew how to judge the temperature of the stove, how much wood to add. Sis [her older sister Coletha] helped with the horses and cows."
My mom came to Philadelphia with her parents and six siblings in the 1920s. My grandmother, Edna, kept house while my grandfather, Major, helped build the Broad Street Subway, ran a couple of whorehouses and sometimes sold his herbal concoctions in drug stores.
As a young woman, my mother worked as a maid and scraped up money to hire a speech therapist to help rid her of her southern accent. Brown skin and that accent would shackle her to low-wage work, she feared. She also earned her G.E.D. Rural Virginia had offered few schools for Black children, and my mom may have gone as far as fifth grade.
My parents married in 1938. My older brother and I were Baby Boomers. Ambitious and determined, my mother pushed us to pile up advanced degrees. And we did. However, those achievements didn't make for happily ever after. Mom came to feel that we had outstripped her, left her behind, even though she had a successful catering business—I worked as one of her waitresses for years—and in winter she spent a few weeks in a spa in Mexico. Those feelings raised a barrier between us that love could barely squeeze past. When she lay dying she finally said, "I am delighted with you."
The truth? Despite the jabs and pain, I miss her. Mom cooked and served thousands of meals, helped hundreds of people mark milestones in their lives. A Black working-class woman if ever there was one who will never have a line in a history book. I dedicate this series to her.
This is the first of a 12-part series chronicling the lives of Black women in Philadelphia.

The Vacant One — don't dismiss his hidden power
Among Kawhi Leonard's many powers is his ability to absorb LeBron James' many powers.
That must be it. When the Chosen One meets the Vacant One, James can't help but become as passive as Leonard seems to be.
Either that, or Leonard has come to this Finals stage to showcase a complete package of ability that has taken the Spurs to within two wins of the championship. He sticks to the Spurs' scheme, and he rebounds, and he finds the open man when he isn't scoring himself, and without him, the Spurs wouldn't be here.
So what did the draft-day trade of 2011 mean?
James, if still under the effect of Tuesday night, would stare down and mutter something the way Leonard would.
James will wake up Wednesday, especially when Erik Spoelstra goes over the video. Just as Gregg Popovich didn't mind the lead expanding in Game 2 in Miami, Spoelstra likely didn't mind the same Tuesday. It will be easier for the Miami staff to coach after the worst loss since James became a member of the Heat.
The shooting of Gary Neal and Danny Green will be part of the video. But then Spoelstra will get to Leonard, and what the Spurs are doing with him on James, and the Heat will have to figure something out.
Maybe it's just about James, and the numbers suggest that. He has now scored 18, 17 and 15 points in the three Finals games, and a more glaring stat Tuesday was the number zero. He didn't shoot a free throw.
"They're going under my pick-and-rolls and daring me to shoot," James said. "Anytime I get into the paint, they're putting two bodies in front of me."
All of which is true. If James can't make the Spurs pay by hitting outside shots, they will keep doing it.
Still, one of the two bodies belongs to Leonard. And to those who measure stardom by those who beat their chests — or even smile broadly — it's not a body that gets much attention.
If they were to film Leonard in a Kia ad, the way they do Blake Griffin, they would go back in time to find little Kawhi looking at the ground.
He would glance up, but only briefly, to see himself from the future. Neither would say anything.
But that's the power of the Vacant One. He puts his effort elsewhere, and he does so with an innate sense rare for someone so young.
The Spurs' staff can surely find mistakes. But is it clear Leonard ever makes any?
"What Kawhi did today was impressive," is the way Manu Ginobili put it. "I know it's easier to point to Gary and Danny because of the threes and the points. But Kawhi was huge."
Ginobili said Leonard is the Spurs' second-most vital defender after Tim Duncan. But an argument can be made they are on the same level; put them together, and that's why James has had problems.
A moment early in the third quarter also outlined the kind of play that doesn't show in the box score. Then, Duncan blocked Mario Chalmers, and Duncan dove into the stands to get the ball.
But his toss went up the sidelines, heading out of bounds, when Leonard also dove, getting one of his massive hands on the ball. That led to two Green free throws and a 13-point Spurs lead.
The play is also a reason Leonard insists he's a role player. "I'm not getting plays called for me out on the floor," he said, "and I'm not getting any isolations."
James, in contrast, has isos any time he wants one. But in this series, James has been closer to a role player, too. Leonard has sagged back, with his long arms extended, waiting with his emerging talent.
And with another power.

Kicking off with the most famous of them all – simple, oozing grilled cheese sandwich.
2. The American Breakfast
More mess than sandwich, here's bacon, egg and cheese in (/out of) a toasted bagel.
3. The British Breakfast
There's a fine line between sausage sandwich and hot dog. This is a sausage sandwich!
4. The Italian/French Hybrid
Italian meats and cheeses between a couple of croissants, all pressed in harmony by a waffle iron.
5. The Philly Cheese Steak
A classic American staple – thinly sliced beef, cheese and onions. Exceptional.
6. The Reuben
An essential deli sandwich; pastrami, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing.
7. The Super Vegan
An incredibly colourful sandwich filled with delicious vegetables – who needs meat?
8. The Club
Ah, the daddy of all sandwiches – a triple layer feast, filled with chicken, bacon and tomato.
9. The Sloppy
Eat with a knife and fork, or commit yourself fully to this super meatball sub.
10. The Six Footer
A gargantuan six-foot sub comprising Italian meats, cheese and pickles.
11. The Salty, Sweet and Hot
This is a melange of tastes, thanks to a mixture of fried chicken, honey and spicy Sriracha chili sauce.
12. The Mac n' Cheese
The picture says more than I ever could.

Geri Karlin saw her brother suffer, and at some point die at age 17, from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a progressive and fatal muscle disorders affecting boys and youthful men. So when her boy Ryan was diagnosed in 2008 using the exact same disease, she, in inclusion to husband Marty, decided they could not wait around around for any cure.
For the 3rd time, the Karlins will hostess "Rally for Ryan" to increase cash that will go directly to research workers who are attempting to find treatments, and ultimately a cure, for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The Karlins support, too as have direct admittance to, the scientists who are functioning specially on this disease for which there is no cure.
"The prescriptions will maintain the boys (affected by Duchenne) walking," mentioned Geri Karlin, "Research has produced a huge distinction the last couple of years."
Nine-year-old Ryan is on every day steroids and attends actual treatment at White Eagle Elementary college where he is normally a fourth-grader. He has been capable to remain active, even actively playing hockey. But, in accordance with Karlin, he's beginning to possess trouble going up and down stairs, and wears boots at night to maintain alignment and prevent long term problems. And because most boys affected by the disease lose muscle function and turn out to be wheelchair dependent by their earlier teens, the Karlins use a perception of urgency within their mission.
"I want people today diligently functioning because time is ticking to get the cash in the perfect hands," Karlin said.
"Rally for Ryan" raised $140,000 last calendar year with very nearly 300 people today in attendance. This year, the celebration will be from 6:30 to 11 p.m. Nov. five at White Eagle Golf Club.

Baku, Azerbaijan, Aug. 13
By Fatih Karimov - Trend:
Iranian top oil official says cooperation with Germans may start sooner than with other foreigners.
Deputy Minister of Oil of Iran Amirhossein Zamaninia said that recently many foreign delegations from France, Germany, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Italy, Japan, India and other countries traveled to Iran.
"All European delegations (Italy, France and Germany) were serious about resuming cooperation with Iran after the lifting sanctions, but it seems Germans overtake others," ISNA quoted Zamaninia as saying August 13.
Referring to Iran's cooperation with Russians and Chinese during the sanctions period, he said that all nations have their own place, but Russia and China have shown that they are more reliable in "difficult situations".
Several high ranking European delegations also plan to visit the country in the near future to explore the avenues to promote trade ties with the Islamic Republic. The visits follow a breakthrough in Vienna last month by Iran and the P5+1 group of countries - the five permanent members of the Security Council plus Germany - over the Iranian nuclear program.
Iran needs $185 billion and $70 billion in upstream oil and gas projects as well as petrochemical projects respectively by 2020.
It's expected that the sanctions on Iran will be eliminated by the end of 2015.

Wholemeal flour, (as low GI,) oaty milk, elmlea, an egg, and the key very good quality vanilla essence! Then a squeeze of lemon, Yum! This is the start of some more experimenting!

Reviews for Fries Storm Shelter Installation
Mr. Handyman of the Fredericksburg Region
Everything went wonderfully. 100% honesty here. I was a little frustrated in the beginning because it felt like jumping thru hoops just to get someone to come out and provide an estimate. However, with that said, I'm very glad we stuck with this company. The owner himself is the one that comes out and does the estimate. I'm not new to the construction industry, so I knew what needed to be done (being pregnant I didn't want to do it myself). The owner was extremely knowledgable and professional. We had, had two other companies come out to look at the same project and Mr. Handyman was by far the most qualified. He knew exactly what he was talking about, which was refreshing to hear. He was honest about the process and cost, he didn't seem to want to take us for all of our money, but wanted to do a quality job. The job took two days. The gentleman that came out was very professional and patient with my annoying barking dogs (thank you. I know they were annoying!) The storm door project was completed same day, and the French doors took a day and a half, but it all looks amazing. A very professional and competent company. They have reasonable prices. I would and will be hiring them again for other projects along with recommending them to anyone and everyone that needs a handyman. Pictures are attached. The only thing left to do is paint the French doors and the walls where the spackle is... Honestly, I'll probably hire them again to do that too!

A+ Handyman
We had a bad winter storm with high winds. Many of the asphalt shingles flew off the garage roof and we needed a quick replacement of the roof because more winter storms were forecasted. Jim at A Plus Handyman gave us a very good estimate and despite bad weather, he was able to replace the roof quickly and weatherize it before the interior of the garage was damaged. He was super nice to deal with, responsive, affordable with quality work. Would definitely do business with him again!!

Ned Finney Builders
He did a very good job and it is as good as new. We would highly recommend him and we would hire him again.

Beautiful repair work. Very clean work. Since it required spackling and sandling I was pleased with how clean and dust free the job was. Very professional to work with.

Blounts Home Improvements
This was second time the same siding had come off in a storm. Wouldn't have used the previous repair guy even if I could remember who I used. Found Blount's ad in the local paper. I considered this a low risk small job so I didn't shop around. Plus -so many houses had damage from the storms the contractors who local contractors who specialize in roofing and siding probably wouldn't have come out to give an estimate. I could have done the repair myself except I don't have a ladder tall enough to reach the spot that required repair. He came out looked at what needed to be done gave me an estimate. I thought it was reasonable and had him correct a few other siding problems which he adjusted the estimate according for. He was done in two hours. Sliding repairs have held up to a hurricane and several severe storms without any problems. He suggested I start thinking about a replacement roof as ours is 15 years old. I would definitely consider using them again and would certainly call them for a roofing estimate when the time comes to replace. I was pleased enough to save his business card for future work.
- Al M.
Mid Atlantic Construction of Virginia Inc
Mid Atlantic of VA contacted me after a terrible hail storm. They indicated that the storm that we had experienced was capable of severely damaging roofs and siding in our area. They asked for permission to check our house for damage. They discovered significant damage to the roof (front and back) and all gutters. They found no siding damage. We agreed to have them do the work and they quickly worked directly with my insurance company for permission and all financial details. The roof and gutter replacement was totally covered by insurance. At all times the company's representatives were polite, responsive, punctual and professional. They made a potentially stressful situation much better by guiding the entire process. Our roof and gutters look great! Not only would I recommend them to others, I have already done so. Mid Atlantic did a great job!
- Earl S.
Mr. Handyman of the Fredericksburg Region
This is the second major project that Mr. Handyman has done for me. I wanted a replacement vent made of a material stronger than the original. Mr. Handyman special ordered the vent and installed it on the first work day after it arrived from the distributor. I was not home when the work was done. I see this as a plus because I didn't have to lose a day of work. The appearance of the replacement vent looks professionally installed and not a "homeowner DIY" project. This is important to me because some day I will sell this house and don't want anything to detract from the structure and possible lower the sales price. The final price was slightly less than the estimate. The final price may seem high to some, but remember I didn't use a standard vent, but had a higher quality vent installed. I am pleased with the work and the price.

All American Painting & Home Repair
Contacted All American painting & Home repair company based on Angie's list reviews. Mr. Wayland (Eddie) arrived, gave us an estimate, took his time explained everything he was going to do and how he was going to preform the necessary work that needed to be done. We had a few set backs based on the weather as this was all exterior work. Paula(Eddie's wife) kept us informed , excellent communication, as to when he would be arriving and when he was not. Eddie and his assistance Orval are hard workers, very detailed, very professional. Windows look brand new. This is a family owned business, that provide outstanding service, we have referred him to our neighbor, we would not hestitate to use this company in the future. Very pleased. They are located in Front Royal Virginia just to make sure you have the right company.

Cleaning & Handyman Service
There was a bad rain storm and we discovered that the water was coming over the sides of the guttering rather than down the drains. We called Chris during the storm so he could come look at what was happening and figure out what needed to be repaired when it dried up. He power washed the gutters, replaced some of the screens over the gutters, fixed some of the joints and even repaired a few places on the roof that he discovered when fixing the gutters. Chris was responsive and we have not had any problems with the guttering since he was here.

Casual Glenn's Handyman Services
Humourously. He was close to an hour and a half late to the initial appointment. I'm not a noob when it comes to home improvement, I've been involved in the industry for years, so I know what is supposed to happen when someone decides they want to add something to their house. This guy came in, and no joke, just measured the opening of the doorways and left. That's it. No real consultation. I knew the entryway for the French doors would need to be framed in, he didn't say anything about that, didn't measure anything for that. Just measured the opening and left. It was clear he didn't know what he was doing. We get the estimate back and the estimate was around $300.... The cost of the doors alone was over $300. Now I'm all about a good price, but this price is not a good price. This is a "I have no idea what I'm doing and you're going to end up with a sham of a job" price. So for him to be over an hour late to the appointment, not knowing what he was doing... The name of the business fits well. "Casual" indeed.

Greenwood Village, CO, January 31, 2019 — As people seek to transform themselves in the new year, Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club is going through a transformation of its own. They have changed their name to Club Greenwood. A brand study and member survey confirmed this new direction, as they are already known in the community as "the Club" or "Greenwood." Club Greenwood better reflects who they've become.
"Rebranding to Club Greenwood is a natural transition," said Paula Neubert, president and general manager. "The name is fresh, clean and easy to remember. For the past 31 years, we have evolved from Greenwood Athletic Club, to Greenwood Athletic Club and Tennis Center, to Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club. Not a day goes by without someone saying, 'Let's go to the Club' or 'I'm going to Greenwood.'"
The new branding represents Greenwood's commitment to innovation and desire to stay ahead of the curve while offering its members the best in health and fitness. Neubert continues, "The brand study surveyed our members to confirm we are still promoting and marketing our club in the most effective and productive manner possible. Three factors differentiate us from our competition and keep our members coming: Club Greenwood is a Home Away from Home, a place to Choose Your Own Adventure, and a club that Provides Motivation.

text: Science, Tech, Math › Science Essential Amino Acids and Their Role in Good Health Amino Acids You Must Add To Your Diet Share Flipboard Email Print PASIEKA/Getty Images Science Chemistry Biochemistry Basics Chemical Laws Molecules Periodic Table Projects & Experiments Scientific Method Physical Chemistry Medical Chemistry Chemistry In Everyday Life Famous Chemists Activities for Kids Abbreviations & Acronyms Biology Physics Geology Astronomy Weather & Climate by Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Dr. Helmenstine holds a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences and is a science writer, educator, and consultant. She has taught science courses at the high school, college, and graduate levels. Updated January 09, 2018 An essential amino acid may also be called an indispensable amino acid. This is an amino acid that the body cannot synthesize on its own, so it must be obtained from the diet. Because each organism has its own physiology, the list of essential amino acids is different for humans than it is for other organisms. The Role of Amino Acids for Human Beings Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are essential to forming our muscles, tissues, organs, and glands. They also support human metabolism, protect the heart, and make it possible for our bodies to heal wounds and repair tissues. Amino acids are also essential for breaking down foods and removing waste from our bodies. Tryptophan and tyrosine are amino acids that produce neurotransmitters. Tryptophan produces the mood-regulating chemical serotonin and can make you sleepy. Tyrosine is essential for the production of norepinephrine and adrenaline and makes you feel more energetic.The amino acid arginine is essential to the production of nitric oxide which lowers blood pressure and helps to protect the heart.Histidine makes the enzymes needed to produce red blood cells and healthy nerves. ]Tyrosine is used in the production of thyroid hormones.Methionine makes a chemical called SAMe which is essential for the metabolism of DNA and neurotransmitters. Nutrition and Essential Amino Acids Because they cannot be produced by the body, essential amino acids must be part of everyone's diet. It isn't critical that every essential amino acid be included in every meal, but over the course of a single day, it's a good idea to eat foods that include histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. The best way to ensure that you are eating a sufficient quantity of foods with amino acids is to complete proteins. These include animal products including eggs, buckwheat, soybeans, and quinoa. Even if you don't specifically consume complete proteins, you can eat a variety of proteins throughout the day to ensure that you have enough essential amino acids. The recommended dietary allowance of protein is 46 grams daily for women and 56 grams for men. Essential Versus Conditionally Essential Amino Acids The essential amino acids for all people are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. Several other amino acids are conditionally essential amino acids, meaning they are required at some stages of growth or by some people who cannot synthesize them, either because of genetics or a medical condition. In addition to the essential amino acids, babies and growing children also need arginine, cysteine, and tyrosine. Individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) need tyrosine and also must limit their intake of phenylalanine. Certain populations need arginine, cysteine, glycine, glutamine, histidine, proline, serine and tyrosine because they either cannot synthesize them at all or else are unable to make enough to meet the needs of their metabolism.

Tattoos. Body Art. Ink. Tat's. Whatever you call them, I think tattoos are awesome and an incrediable way for people to express themselves and because of that, I'm moving forward on my Tattoo Photography Project. My goal is hold an exhibit at some point but I'm showing a sneak peak of some of the photos.
I ran into Mike in Petawawa and ofcourse had to ask him about the tattoo on his arm. The story is amazing but I'm going to hold on to it until my exhibit but take a good look at the details, you can come up with some of the story behind the tattoo. His buddy Jon, has a matching tattoo.Mike has some additional tattoo including the name of his kids on his chest.
Thanks for being my first participant in my Tattoo Photography Project Mike.

The 'We Can't Help It If We're From Florida' comp. documents the Florida scene around 1983. It was released on Destroy Records, the label run by Roach Motel. Roach Motel did 2 classic 7"s.
Also Sector 4 did a 7" on Destroy Records in 1983.
Morbid Opera is an all-girl band I think. Also did a 7" on their own Sublapse label. This label also released the Gay Cowboys In Bondage 7".
Hated Youth is one of the better stuff here. Fast raging HC. Luckily Bob Suren of Sound Idea/Burrito Records (RIP) had contact with one of the ex-members and released a 7" and split LP of unreleased Hated Youth songs. All worth getting.
Not much known on Rat Cafeteria. No other recordings available.
Early Roach Motel has been put on CD.

2. Hated Youth - Ted Bundy
3. Hated Youth - Army Dad

Diabetes Disparities
Minorities have a higher prevalence of diabetes than whites
•Different studies found that African Americans are from 1.4 to 2.2 times more likely to have diabetes than white persons.
•Hispanic Americans have a higher prevalence of diabetes than non-Hispanic people, with the highest rates for type 2 diabetes among Puerto Ricans and Hispanic people living in the Southwest and the lowest rate among Cubans.
•The prevalence of diabetes among American Indians is 2.8 times the overall rate.
•Major groups within the Asian and Pacific Islander communities (Japanese Americans, Chinese Americans, Filipino Americans, and ...view middle of the document...
These include kidney disease, eye disease, coronary artery disease, and increased mortality. Cultural and economic barriers have increased complications for minorities. Some of these are a distrust of insulin therapy, preference for traditional remedies, and a fatalistic approach of acceptance of the disease.
Reducing Disparities
• Diet, Exercise, and Primary Prevention
Education of communities about better diets and exercise has found to improve rates of diabetes
• Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP)
A program used in 31 states and 9 countries to educate on nutritional change, medications, resources, and decision making
• Family Support
Improved diabetes management
Speaker notes: Decreasing cultural and economic barriers can decrease diabetes and improve management of the disease. Education throughout the country and specific minorities on proper diet and exercise, specifically in families that already have members with diabetes, have a huge impact on prevention of the disease. Programs are being developed such as CDSMP to help teach families on transitioning to better diets and exercise. They offer classes to explain the disease process, medication and insulin therapy, and offer resources and supplies. It is also important to educate families to help encourage support of their loved ones through participating in nutritional change and emotional support. The more support an individual has, the better outcomes to treatment and disease management.
