World Osteoporosis Day takes place on 20th October every year. It was first observed by the UK's National Osteoporosis Society in 1996. By 1998, it had been taken over by the International Osteoporosis Foundation and sponsored by the World Health Organisation. World Osteoporosis Day is now recognised in over 90 countries, and reaches an audience of 2 billion people. The aim of the day is to raise awareness and educate people about the realities of Osteoporosis. In this blog, we will look at what Osteoporosis is, who is at risk, and the symptoms associated with it.
What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease which causes the density and quality of our bones to diminish. If you picture a sponge, with millions of small holes running through it, you'll get a pretty similar image to how healthy bones should look. Now imagine that all of those holes double in size, or more. That is what bones with osteoporosis look like. In fact, osteoporosis literally means 'porous bone'. There is a lot more empty space, and the material left behind is much weaker and put under much more pressure. This makes them far more susceptible to fractures or breaks.
Risk Factors
Osteoporosis can affect anyone, but there are a number of risk factors that make certain people more likely to develop it. Women are four times more likely than men to get osteoporosis, for example. This is partly because women typically have smaller, less-dense bones than men do, making it much easier for them to cross the threshold into low-density bones. Postmenopausal women are the most likely group to develop this condition.
Men and women under 30 are the least likely to develop osteoporosis, save for any exceptional medical circumstances. This is because our bone density peaks at around 30 years of age, at which point it starts to decline. Fortunately, exercise and diet can help stave the condition off even if you are in a high-risk group. Weight training can help increase density and strength, as can increasing your intake of calcium and vitamin D.
Genetics also play a role in the development of osteoporosis, although that does not necessarily mean that you will get it if your parents had it. It is believed that genetics does influence peak bone strength and density, so if a parent or grandparent had osteoporosis, you may have a bone density similar to the one they had at your age. This could make you more susceptible to Osteoporosis, but as diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices all play such an influential role, it is something that could be avoided or effectively approached if identified early.
Unfortunately, there are no easily identifiable symptoms for the early stages of osteoporosis, so if you think you may be at risk, it is important to visit a doctor for a checkup as soon as possible. As you get older, and Osteoporosis starts to take its toll, you may notice one of the following: loss of height, which occurs as a result of the bones shrinking; back pain, which could indicate a more serious problem, such as a fractured vertebra; hunching; and bones that fracture or break easily.
Osteoporosis is a common but serious condition that can greatly impact your quality of life and physical health. It is a condition that sets in slowly over the course of years, making it easy to miss but hard to undo. For these reasons, it is crucial to strike preemptively if you are to have the best chances of tackling it. If you believe you may be at risk of developing osteoporosis, visit your doctor so you can start working towards healthier bones as soon as possible.

The Crunch #1 (DC Thompson/1979)
By the late seventies DC Thompsons titles were beginning to look a tad dated as their "family friendly" comics were more suited to an earlier, more innocent age. The advent of of 2000AD, Action and competition from American rivals Marvel made the publishers of Victor and The Hotspur attempt something new.
They came up with The Crunch.
This comic launched in January 1979 had the same format as DC Thompsons other adventure comics but the content was a bit edgier.
The reader was treated to a full "splash page" to introduce Arena, a tale of a political dissident in the near future sentenced by an obviously totalitarian regime to die in combat in the Arena reserved for criminals. And someone wants Mark dead quickly....
Another splash page leads us to the US based story, The Mantracker. A quite violent story of revenge and redemption in which Jay returning from service as a Green Beret witnesses the murder of his grandfather and upon dealing with the miscreants uses the reward to set him on the path of being a Bounty Hunter.
After the usual football feature which isn't of interest to me we are taken to the Walking Bombs. This tale set in the Cold War sees unexplained nuclear explosions taking out the West's top brass. The title rather gives away the future mystery and the hunt is on for a certain Professor Hagan who may be in danger and is the key to solving this mystery.
Then there's Hitler Lives. Set in the dying days of the Third Reich a mutinous German soldier sets off to assassinate the Fuhrer only to find Hitlers body being burnt...but it isn't and loyal Nazi's are smuggling the dictators body out of the country so that the Reich might rise again. Jacob Lindt decides to go with them so he can stop this nefarious scheme.
The final story is yet another crime story set in America, Who killed Cassidy which sees a traffic cop framed for neglecting his duty.
The Crunch lasted just 54 issues before being merged with the Hotspur which was itself an ailing title.
Overall not a bad comic and may pick up a few more over time.

Do you have experience of working within community fundraising and volunteer management and a real desire to get involved in an exciting new initiative? Then join Shelter as a Community Fundraiser and you could soon be doing just that.
A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change — with individuals, in communities, across society – and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.
Community Fundraising is part of our Community & Events team, which consists of three other Income Generation functions: 3rd Party Challenge, Mass Participation and Special Event. The Community and Events team prides itself on developing and delivering creative, innovative partnerships, products and events while ensuring excellent customer service. Our activities are important for Income Generation but also as an opportunity to raise the profile of the organisation and attract new, and hopefully loyal and regular, supporters to Shelter.
About the Role
As part of a brand new team tasked with developing an effective Community Fundraising programme both nationally and for Central London, this is a great opportunity to get in at the start and shape the future of how we work with supporters at a local level. You'll collaborate with teams across the organisation, including the Shelter London Hub and Retail Shops, as you help to maximise community engagement as part of a new strategy that's clearly focused on delivering at a local level. You will also work across our centralised teams in Income Generation in order to ensure we provide a more cohesive offering. Put simply, you'll make sure people feel closer to Shelter as a local rather than national charity and that every supporter remains at the heart of the planning and implementation of this new initiative every step of the way.
About you
Someone who is bold, ambitious and who can bring fresh ideas about how to shape community fundraising, you will need community fundraising or corporate fundraising experience. You'll also need to be able to collaborate and build effective working relationships, both internally and externally, with a diverse range of people. A track record of meeting and exceeding financial targets would be a distinct advantage, while experience of reporting using Raisers Edge or a similar database is essential. Commercially aware, customer focused and results-driven, you're proactive, creative and innovative too. What's more, you're not afraid to challenge the status quo and introduce new ideas or ways of doing things when relevant.
Apply to be part of our award-winning fundraising team and be the change you want to see in society.
Benefits include 30 days' annual leave, the possibility of flexible working, enhanced family friendly policies and significant opportunities for learning and development.
Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We're here so no-one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. All our staff will be expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding Policies.
At Shelter, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone regardless of age, disability, gender, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation. We are facing diverse problems, so need diverse people to tackle them.
Shelter does not accept unsolicited CVs from external recruitment agencies nor accept the fees associated with them.

Residents also have access to many great amenities including a clubhouse, fitness center billiards room, and more. The tight-knit neighborhood also comes together to participate in many group activities such as exercising and playing games.
Adams Farm Condominiums is just a short drive away from many large shopping centers, most of which can be found a few miles north along Route 9.

To Stretch or Not to Stretch
From the desk of Dr. Drew Deppen, DC... A patient of mine asked me a question that I hear ALL THE TIME -
Is stretching a good idea for me?
This is something that there is unfortunately a lot of mis-information about. There is also a lot of built in tradition of stretching for sports which add to the fire. When we see Brandon Marshall stretching on the sideline before his big game – we think if he stretches then so should we!
Long Story short – stretching is OK, but often not the answer that we are looking for.
Let me explain.
Most people stretch to eliminate tightness that they feel, or to increase their flexibility.
Over a given amount of time this should theoretically work to meet those needs – our tissues should lengthen and we should have increased range of motion. But does this always happen? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. So what's the problem?
The problem is that people are weak. People need to first be strong.
'Tightness', or the feeling of muscles being tight usually happens for one of two reasons.
1) After a really tough workout where a muscle group is stressed.
2) As a protective pattern for a joint due to your bodies inability to control that joint.
This is an important concept. (As often 'tight' muscles are not necessarily short muscles.) When a muscle is consistently feeling tight there is a reason for this. The reason is usually because of a weakness elsewhere. When you body senses that it is having difficulty controlling and supporting a joint – it will do it's best to add extra stability. And it does this via increasing muscle contraction – ie 'tightness.'
For better or worse (and likely both) this can limit motion, and cause arthritis over time. You can stretch this muscle and get some minor short lived relief, and maybe a larger flexibility, if the reason for the limitation is true muscle tightness. But until you give your joint the proper ability to control itself (HINT HINT – by strengthening the weakness) you will continue to have to stretch until the next century!
Does that mean stretching is bad? No.
But, back to watching Brandon Marshall during warm up – we see that he stretches, but what we don't see is the consistent strength work that he does behind the scenes. This is then out of our consciousness and we therefore think we need to stretch ourselves to professional athletes.
Instead focus on giving your joints proper movement and control. And it's OK if this may include some stretching.
Give OMBE a call to come in for an evaluation and then decide what you need most. We offer a variety of personal training, Pilates and yoga services.
Drew Deppen, D.C. Licensed Chiropractor
As your Boston Back Bay Chiropractor, Dr. Deppen takes pride in the diversity of his practice. He has worked with a wide variety of patients from Olympic medalists to the everyday active person, Dr. Deppen's Boston practice uses the most current evidence-based treatment protocols. He has a deep interest in Rehabilitation strategies, Vojta Therapy or Dynamic Neuromusclar Stabilization, McKenzie Method Protocol, Active Release Technique, Strength and Conditioning, and Applied Kinesiology. Dr. Deppen is also the only Chiropractor in Boston Back Bay with McKenzie certification credentials. Additionally, Dr. Deppen is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and a USA Track and Field Certified Coach. Research has proven that both chiropractic manipulation and exercise are the gold standard for spine pain. Dr. Deppen's combination of Chiropractic, McKenzie Method, and Strength Coach experience is a powerful combination for patients.
Dr. Deppen grew up in Chicago, Illinois. As a young athlete, Dr. Deppen was fortunate enough to work with a local chiropractor for many years while in high school. From there, Drew went to Eckerd College, graduating with Honors with a degree in Biology and Chemisty. While at Eckerd, Dr. Deppen played volleyball and captained the team under Coach Dexter Rodgers, a former silver medalist.
Dr. Deppen then attended Palmer College of Chiropractic and graduated magna cum laude. Palmer is the oldest and most prestigious chiropractic school in the world. While at Palmer, Dr. Deppen developed a love for endurance sports: running, cycling, and triathlons. Since then, Dr. Deppen has completed multiple Ironman events, and every distance from a 10K through 100-mile road races.
As a way to couple Dr. Deppen's love of running and desire to help out in the community, he started coaching and working with a local high school while in Chicago. He had the pleasure to coach high school athletes in both Cross Country and Track and Field for three years and in this time frame, helped coach and develop three NCAA Division I and four NCAA Division III athletes, as well as six Illinois All-State athletes.
During this same time, Dr. Deppen also worked with many beginner and amateur runners, both high school age and adults looking to participate in road running. Often times, Dr. Deppen's patients have asked him to help them learn how to run or train for a marathon. Some of Dr. Deppen's most memorable moments from running lie in this arena: helping others find the love and joy of running and chiropractic to change their lives.
Dr. Deppen truly values the integrative approach offered at OMBE Integrative Health Center. He has seen how multiple disciplines together can create a unique approach to health and overall wellness. He looks forward to answering any questions you may have for him about chiropractic in a complimentary consult.

Antisemitism and Antiblackness
Great Britain's Labour Party has been wrestling with allegations of antisemitism. One of the charges is that although the Labour party adopted The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) 's definition (often incorrectly identified as the 'international' definition) of antisemitism, Labour did not include in its definition all of the examples listed in the IHRA definition. Specifically, Labour omitted the provisions that define criticism of Israel as antisemitism.
Israel may claim that it wants to be a state like all others, but it vigorously campaigns to limit criticism of its expansionist policies by forcing critics to navigate a minefield of potential claims of antisemitism. I can think of no other country that even attempts to limit criticism by outsiders.
Even without the provisions relating to Israel, the IHRA definition of antisemitism seems overly broad and unnecessary in light of the discrimination that many people have faced. In the United States our record is spotty at best and many immigrant groups have faced discrimination by the legal system, by the actions of our public institutions and by the behavior of other Americans. Notably, and at different times, Asians and Jews have been affected by quota systems in our universities, the Chinese were exploited and then deported under the exclusion acts, Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps during World War II and our president has accused Mexican Americans of being rapists.
And then, no group has suffered the systemic racism that has been directed against African Americans. Not only do we have few laws that begin to atone for their continued exploitation and incarceration, we don't even have a word in common usage that refers specifically to discrimination against African Americans. There is such a word in the dictionary, however, and it is 'antiblack.'
Since the United States has not treated Jews any worse than its other immigrants, it seems odd that the State Department has adopted a specific definition of antisemitism and not of antiblackness. Borrowing from the IHRA definition of antisemitism, I would like to offer the following, modeled on the IHRA definition, to fill this void. Other groups may wish to follow suit. Words from the IHRA definition are italicized.
Antiblackness is a certain perception of Blacks, which may be expressed as hatred toward Blacks. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antiblackness aredirected toward Black or non-Black individuals and/or their property, towardBlack community institutions and religious facilities, especially the targeting of Black churches.
Two examples: the Charleston church shooting, in which the killer argued that he didn't deserve the death penalty since the nine people he killed were Black; or the killing of four young girls at a church in Birmingham, Alabama after which the killers were protected by the federal government for at least 15 years.
Manifestations might include the targeting of majority black countries, conceived as merely a collection of Blacks. (e.g., calling them shitholes) However, criticismof such countries similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antiblack. So, if you wanted to criticize apartheid South Africa, you must find another apartheid country to criticize in the same way. (Israel?)
Antiblackness frequently charges Blacks with conspiring to harm whites, and it is often used to blame Blacks for "why things go wrong." It is expressed speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits. For example, the negative stereotypes of Blacks as portrayed in film, the press, etc. as people who are shiftless, crime seeking, etc.
Contemporary examples of antiblackness in public life, the media, schools, the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking into account the overall context, include, but are not limited to:
• Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming or mass incarceration of Blacks for crimes that are routinely charged only against Blacks, such as vagrancy, in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of race.
• Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Blacks as Blacks such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about the advantages of slavery over life in Africa, the myth that more Blacks than others are on death row, or that Blacks do not contribute to society. Included in this is the theft by artists of the intellectual property of Blacks, under the antiblack assumption that Blacks will not respond. For example, The Beach Boys ' ripoff of Chuck Berry in Surfing USA (Sweet Little Sixteen) or George Harrison's theft of My Sweet Lord from Ronnie Mack (He's So Fine).
• Accusing Blacks as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by any Black person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Blacks, this would include blaming Blacks for the deterioration of a neighborhood.
• Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms or intentionality of the enslavement of Black people at the hands of the United States, and the financial gain from such labor enjoyed by the South and its accomplices in the North, as well as in a number of European countries who continued to finance the South during the Civil War. Included in this is the de facto slavery of Black people that continued in many states after slavery was abolished, including using convicts guilty of dubious crimes, such as loitering, as 'free' labor in factories, mines and other businesses or the sharecropping system that left Blacks unable to exercise the right to move or to realize any financial gain from their own labor.
• Accusing Blacks as a people of inventing or exaggerating slavery or the millions of deaths that occurred in the brutal passage of Blacks from Africa to various parts of the 'new world.'
• Accusing Black citizens of not being loyal to the United States when they protest the treatment of Blacks in the United States.
• Denying Blacks their right to choose leaders, either as in the past through poll taxes or absurd history tests, or as in the present through voter id laws or by gerrymandering of voting districts. The paragraph in the IHRA definition refers to denying Jews the right to self determination by claiming Israel is a racist endeavor. Two points here: if Israel is the collective state of the Jews then we are not talking about self-determination but policies set by some number of Jews and Israel is a racist endeavor in that only those who are racially qualified may become citizens and others may not.
• Applying double standards by requiring of Blacks behavior not expected or demanded of other people such as submission to stop and frisk policies.
• Using the symbols and images associated with classic antiblackness (e.g., unhinged accusations of rape or use of Aunt Jemima or Little Black Sambo) to characterize Blacks.
• The next IHRA paragraph prohibits drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis, but since Gaza resembles a mega Warsaw ghetto I'm not sure why this is not simply an observation.
•Profiling Blacks as lawbreakers by targeting them in 'random' traffic stops.
•Failure to provide Black communities with decent infrastructure similar to that enjoyed by nearby white communities (Flint water).
•Using Blacks purely for financial gain such as for medical experiments deemed too risky for the general public, or incarcerating a vastly disproportionate number of Blacks in for profit private prisons.
Of course, Blacks are not the only group facing discrimination. Hispanics, Native Americans and others may wish to get into this speech inhibiting game. Then they too can decide how and for what they may be criticized. Or we could prohibit racism against any subgroup by defining racism as Unesco has, as "a theory of races hierarchy which argues that the superior race should be preserved and should dominate the others. Racism can also be an unfair attitude towards another ethnic group. Finally, racism can also be defined as a violent hostility against a social group."

Celynn and Ryan had a small wedding planned at Sapphire Point near Breckenridge, CO. Family and a few friends had made the trek to watch these two incredibly loving people vow their lives to one another. It had been warm the entire week and thankfully we were blessed with another incredible bluebird sky and sunny afternoon. The ceremony was short and sweet and we were able to take our time with photos on the beautiful trails running around the mountain overlook.

Hayley has been one of my best friends since High School. We met on a mission trip to Germany and returned the next year as room mates for the whole summer. She's someone who will tell you what needs to change straight up and will hold you to your word. The moment I caught wind of this tall man named Luke I couldn't wait to meet him. Unfortunately that didn't happen until the week of the wedding because Hayley and I live across the country from one another. After meeting him I'm able to say that Luke matches her perfectly and takes extremely good care of my best friend. Their actual wedding day photos were taken by another photographer more local to the area but Hayley had asked me to take several photos of them together, prior to the wedding. We wrapped a bandana around Luke's eyes while Hayley prepared for their first look. We were fairly close to the highway at a turnout to a field that has a view of the blue ridge mountains. A few people honked as they passed and Luke took it upon himself to begin blindly waving and saying hello to those driving by. He gave us all a laugh and the photoshoot began.
Elopement at Hanging Lake? Yes, please. Hanging Lake is my all time favorite place to take friends and family who visit. The hike to get to the hidden gem is fairly mild and fun, plus you're surrounded by waterfalls and foliage the entire way up. This area never gets old and I'm always in awe of the beauty surrounding it. I might add that it's also the most perfect setting to get eloped in. This adventurous couple hiked up early, spent time getting ready in the woods, and proclaimed their vows under a waterfall in a secluded nook made from tree roots growing around towering rocks. After the ceremony and with no time constraints we were able to scour the area and take as many photos as we desired. Alli and Sean were up to get creative, even if it meant crossing streams and stepping onto precarious logs that were slick with moss. When we finally came down from the lake we regrouped in Glenwood Springs for an afternoon appetizer and drinks before they were whisked away to a romantic dinner and the end of a beautiful day.
Although the weather turned into blizzard conditions we safely traversed back and forth across the county for this winter wedding. The ceremony was a small one of family and a few close friends and it made for an intimate feel, especially when we returned to the reception site; a cozy cabin home set in the heart of Breckenridge. The bridal party was incredible and not only agreed to it but were also excited to hop into the storm and snag a few snowy photographs. They even started a snowball fight before rushing back into the warmth of the house laughing and brushing off snow. The night ended as family and friends gathered in the cozy log cabin to yummy food, champagne bottles being popped, and a fire crackling in the background. Whenever I left the reception I was welcomed to over 8 inches of snow on the road and light fluffy snowflakes hitting my lashes. I smiled and looked forward to editing the photos from the last few hours. What a lovely wedding.

It is easy to list the root causes of incarceration, but our society clearly struggles to form the collective will to address them. Poverty leads to poor educational opportunities, hunger, and homelessness. These conditions, in turn, motivate children and young adults to start their own businesses, regardless of their legality. The unresolved trauma from abusive homes, serving in combat, or surviving a hurricane creates sadness, anger and various forms of spiritual damage that often lead to self-medication or erratic behavior. Addiction can be a downward spiral, and the barriers facing formerly incarcerated people make it worse. More often than not, these barriers lock them out of ever rejoining society.
In Baton Rouge, voters have an opportunity on December 8th to address these root causes by Voting "Yes" on the mental health tax proposal. If the ballot question passes, the average homeowner would be taxed $1.50/month to fund a mental health crisis stabilization center. The center would be a small antidote to the state's billion-dollar prison system.
Many residents and police officers can clearly identify when someone "needs help," but they have no idea what to do. Just ask the friends and family of Lamar Johnson, who was pulled over for a routine traffic stop in 2015. Soon thereafter, guards at the East Baton Rouge Prison beat him. Within four days he was found dead under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind his 3-year old son.
Many people both in and out of custody, in Baton Rouge and beyond, are seeking treatment. In Johnson's case, the police officer was compelled to arrest him on an old warrant. The officer told Johnson that "everything happens for a reason, and I believe sincerely in my heart that you're trying to do right." Surely, someone in the jail felt similarly about Lamar Johnson, but had nowhere to refer him.
While the proposed treatment facility, known as The Bridge Center, is a step in the right direction, the current proposal is not without concerns. The Center needs transparency and oversight that includes the perspective of impacted community members. Public oversight of our institutions is crucial, especially for vulnerable populations such as those accused of criminal behavior. The Bridge Center's current board should also do away with its vice chairman, Dr. Raman Singh, who had multiple marks on his record before and during his tenure as state prison medical director, which came to an end due to allegations of sexual harassment.
No single solution will be the magic salve for all that ails us, especially in a city as large as Baton Rouge. On the other hand, we can't have an effective, multifaceted response to societal issues without putting the first brick down. It is time to stop using jails and prisons as a stow-away for what we think we can't collectively deal with. It is time to create alternatives, and give our neighbors, police, district attorneys, sheriffs, and judges a chance to actually help our community.
Early Voting is open now through December 1st, from 8am - 6pm at:
7/9/2019 11:31:53 am

Zailuni discovered she was HIV-positive while she was pregnant with her second child. After she fell ill, the father of her child stopped providing support and Zailuni lost her home, all of her resources and, as she said, "all hope of living."
After she was hospitalized, Zailuni became a patient of AMPATH and began anti-retroviral treatment. As she grew stronger, an AMPATH social worker referred Zailuni to the program's Family Preservation Initiative (FPI), where she attended business classes for two months.
Zailuni joined a group of six members in a collective Grameen Bank-style micro-credit system run by FPI. Once the FPI business development officers determined they were ready, the first two persons in the group (chosen by the group) received their loans.
One round of initial savings (about 500 Kenyan shillings, approximately $7) was given to Zailuni for the construction of a stand to sell items in front of her house. This enabled her to start generating a small amount of income. With a second loan of 40,000 Kenyan shillings (about $58), Zailuni bought stock for the shop.
Since her start, Zailuni takes her shop's income and invests it right back into the business, building a better kiosk, replenishing stock and paying back her loans. And now that she's experienced financial independence, she's aiming even higher, with a vision to eventually become a wholesaler.

"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." -Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)
There is something powerful about a person's last words. If they come from someone whom you truly love and yet may never see again for a long time, our ears and hearts want to remember their parting request or encouragement. How much more would we want to remember the last instructions of God Himself after dwelling in our world as man? After three years of being constantly in His presence and bearing witness to His death and resurrection, the disciples must have been waiting with anticipation to hear the final words Jesus would speak before ascending into Heaven. His last command to His disciples was to go to the four corners of world telling everyone of the hope available to them through His redemptive sacrifice and guiding them along on their Christian journey. We know through historical records that all the disciples took Christ's final instruction very seriously; proclaiming His truth and training others to walk in His ways even if it cost them their lives.
In an era where religious pluralism and political correctness seem to stifle any meaningful presentation of Christ's message, we often become apprehensive about sharing our faith in Christ. Fearing that we will be ignored, ridiculed, or not have the ability to present what Christ has done for humanity, we excuse ourselves by saying it is beyond our capability. However, in our weaknesses Christ makes us strong. If we allow His Spirit to indwell within our hearts and allow Him to take control of our speech and actions, we will be able to boldly proclaim the message of Christ. It was because of the Holy Spirit's enabling that Peter, in the second chapter of Acts, was able to preach Christ's truth eloquently amidst the voices of ridicule and scorn. It is because of Christ's Spirit imparting upon His followers the strength and confidence to carry out the task He has called them to accomplish, that even today they go out and make disciples of His Word even at the risk of much grief and suffering. We are not the ones who bring about salvation in the lives of individuals, for how can the imperfect build perfection? Rather Christ is the one who draws people to Himself. Our role is to simply be willing to be the conduit through which God speaks and acts for the furtherance of His redemptive mission for the world; taking refuge in His promise to be always by our side until the day He comes to consolidate His eternal and wonderful Kingdom on Earth.

shepreaches Values and Guiding Principles
Since 2012, our work and identity have been guided by several values and guiding principles.
The Church universal has provided sanctuary and affirmation for followers of Christ for generations. However, it is also rife with social and spiritual concerns that intimately impact the lives of Black women. Embedded and institutionalized patriarchy, misogyny and misogynoir have made many Black women feel erased, invisible, un-called, and even unsafe. Our work is to aggressively work to end these historical trends. To do so, we root ourselves in the principles of Womanist Theology, or, theology that is done from the distinct perspective of Black women. First articulated by trailblazers such as Rev. Dr. Katie Geneva Cannon, Rev. Dr. Delores Williams, Rev. Dr. Jacquelyn Grant, and Rev. Dr. Emilie Townes, this school of theological thought exists to call out the dehumanization of Black people in church and society, and to call forth the possibilities of justice and healing in God's name. As a womanist organization, we believe that God is on the side of Black women, and is, indeed, enfleshed in Black women.
Black women are the cornerstones of the Black Church. As such, our primary work is to gather Black women to be affirmed, empowered, and spiritually nourished, in order to manifest the calls that are on our lives. We aim to cultivate of collegiality and sisterhood, thereby outsmarting the patriarchal pit of competing amongst women in professional and vocational spaces. While we build sisterhood, we are also liturgical curators. We create worship spaces and opportunities by which Black women answer their calls to preach, sing, dance, and lead God's people. Moreover, our worship is reflective of the concerns and lives of everyday Black women. In so doing, we endeavor to remind our sisters that God has not forgotten about them.
While we believe in and promote sisterhood across racial and ethnic lines, our foundations in Womanist Theology compel us to centralize and prioritize the lives and lived experiences of Black women. Period.
We believe in and practice theologies of full inclusion and extravagant welcome. In shepreaches spaces, Our LGBTQIA+ kin are welcomed, affirmed, and empowered to live out their full identities as God's beloved children. We work to increase our own knowledge and sensitivities to the lived realities of others, and continuously challenge ourselves to reflect the unconditional love of God in our attitudes, language, and relationships.
We are a body of Black Christian women, but we value and embrace opportunities to learn and collaborate across religious lines. We recognize the continuity between our various religious traditions, and work to manifest the central tenet of love that is common to many religious traditions.
As an organization that focuses on Black millennial women, we do not shy away from the unique particularities that our generation brings to ministry, theology and activism. We ask challenging and taboo questions, we preach on hard texts, we bring the fullness of our various expressions of our womanhood to the pulpit, and we make no apologies for our personal and collective advances in ministry. However, we are deeply mindful that we are beneficiaries of the labor and brilliance of many Black woman-proclaimers who tilled the soil before us. We revere our ancestors and predecessors. We honor them. We recognize that without them, we would not be here.

Partial recount ordered in Malawi's presidential election
May 25, 2019
LILONGWE, Malawi (AP) — Malawi's electoral commission says it has been blocked from announcing presidential election results until a "transparent recounting of the ballot papers" in 10 districts including the country's commercial hub, Blantyre.
The High Court injunction was obtained by the leading opposition Malawi Congress Party and its candidate Lazarus Chakwera amid scores of complaints filed with the commission by various parties over the election process.
Earlier results of Tuesday's election showed Chakwera trailing President Peter Mutharika, who seeks a second five-year term.
Corruption and the need for economic growth have been the main election issues in Malawi, one of the world's least developed countries.

Happy holidays! Or are they? For customers who are lodging complaints with you, the holidays may be anything but happy. The same is probably true for your team members who are tasked with addressing those issues. Fortunately, there are many steps you can take to manage complaints more effectively.
Prompt and Complete Problem Resolution Leads to Loyal Customers
As orders increase and things get chaotic around the holidays, you may be tempted to put off dealing with customer complaints. Or, you may feel compelled to take shortcuts in how you handle them so that you can attend to other tasks. Either way, the Christmas rush will pass, and when the new year arrives, you will likely find yourself wishing you had done a better job of addressing issues as you see once-loyal customers taking their business elsewhere, or even worse, voicing their anger and disappointment on social media.
Use the tips below to turn customer complaints into opportunities to impress.
- Staff up before the onslaught. If you've been in business more than a year, you know what to expect as the holidays approach. Bring on temporary staff (or permanent staff if you plan to grow next year) in advance of the rush. Better to have more complaint-resolution bandwidth than you need, than not to have enough.
- Take every complaint seriously. The quickest way to alienate a customer is to make them feel like their problem is not important. From major issues to minor scuffs, every complaint should be treated like a showstopper.
- Take action immediately. Even if completely resolving an issue will take time, you should make contact with the customer as soon as possible so they know you have received their complaint and understand their concerns.
- Expedite the shipping of replacement items. You should assume that every item about which you receive a complete is intended to be a Christmas gift, and you should take steps to ensure it arrives in time for the holiday.
- Get the necessary information for insurance claims. If an insurance claim will be filed, be sure to record all the details of the incident so you have what you need to get reimbursed.
- Follow up with a survey and coupon. Show your customers that you want to learn from the issue by asking them to complete a survey. And, apologize for the inconvenience by sending them a coupon. The small cost of that gesture can pay off many times over in future purchases.
How to Prevent Complaints in the First Place
It costs much less — both in time and money — to prevent problems than to deal with them after they occur. Theft and product damage during shipping are two of the most common issues, and both can be minimized by using packaging best practices.
"It costs much less — both in time and money — to prevent problems than to deal with them after they occur." TWEET THIS
This includes padding products well and shipping them in strong, lightweight corrugated cartons sealed with water-activated tape (WAT). WAT creates a tamper-evident seal that deters theft. Plus, the physical bond produced between the tape and the carton surface holds tight in virtually all environmental conditions so packages don't come open and spill their contents in transit.
Preparation is the Key to Success
The holiday season is upon us, with the busiest period for most online retailers still ahead. Are you ready? Are your packing stations set up in a way that is both efficient and safe? Do you have all the shipping materials you need, including water-activated tape and water activated tape dispensers? If you have questions about our products, please contact us to learn more.

Preparation is key to any venture. Especially if this venture implies you finding yourself in a foreign country. In other words, should always consider possible issues you may stumble upon during your travels and maybe even try figuring some of those out before even departing. One of the things worth mentioning, that every tourist struggles with at some point, is the question of money exchange.
Maybe it seems ridiculous to you that we're even discussing it. You can change money in a foreign country a million ways, right? While that is true, it doesn't change the fact that not every money exchange option is equally fair. This is why you need to learn where to exchange foreign currency and why.
source: Pixabay
Logically thinking, the airport is the first actual encounter you have with the foreign country. You've just arrived so it's only natural that you exchange your money right away since you'll need the local currency from that moment on.
But, stop and think for a second.
How much is a cup of coffee at the airport? Or a candy bar? In essence, everything is more expensive at the airport than at the first shop you enter once you leave the airport ground.
This is the same in all countries and it's something people are used to.
Well, the same goes with the money exchange fees. Airports hold on to:
This is why the exchange costs you more than you'd like it.
Therefore, you should definitely avoid exchanging foreign currency at the airport.
Most of today's better-equipped hotels have their own exchange offices within the premises. This way their guests don't have to bother going outside and looking for places to change their money.
However, hotel exchange offices work the similar way as the ones at the airport.
They are convenient at your disposal all day long, but they are not doing it for pure courtesy.
On the contrary, their fees are higher than in most other places and they earn a solid provision for every exchange they do.
They are fine for exchanging a smaller amount of money once. But if you plan on exchanging all your travel money in one place, it should not be the hotel exchange office.
There are banks which work internationally and you can find them in different countries.
If you're in luck, you might be able to find your original bank and make the exchange there. It is beneficial because:
This implies that you have to do the research and see if your bank has a business unit at your planned destination. In addition, you need to see how far is it from your accommodation and your planned route during your trip.
"You should never exchange money in a foreign country on the spur of the moment. Looking into all options is highly recommended, and finding your original bank is one of the more convenient ways to go" says the CEO of PickWriters.
Hey, a bank is a bank, right? It should be fairly safe to do the exchange at any given bank in the foreign country, shouldn't it?
The truth is, you never know.
If you're thinking about exchanging the money at the local bank, you are entering the unknown and who knows what's waiting for you in there.
Some banks have high fees for exchanging foreign currencies into local ones. That means you could lose a significant amount of money in the exchange and it may affect your planned budget.
Another way to exchange a foreign currency is to do it directly from an ATM.
ATMs offer exchange services but you need to be smart about using them.
The best thing you can do and you should definitely check is:
As defined by Wikipedia, an interbank network is
"a computer network that enables ATM cards issued by a financial institution that is a member of the network to be used to perform ATM transactions through ATMs that belong to another member of the network"
That means that you don't have to be a member of the bank whose ATM you're using, as long as you belong to the same interbank network.
You should check to see which ATMs you can use and which network you belong to. It does require doing research but it's more than worth it.
In addition, see if you can find data about the fees such as the conversion rate, international transaction fee etc. Due to the fees its "usually better to make one or two larger withdrawals rather than lots of smaller ones" according to The Guardian.
If you're one of those people who doesn't like to take risks and hates surprises, you may want to consider exchanging your money even before you sail away.
Luckily for you, there are online currency services which take care of the money exchange for you. All you have to do is find the right one and place the order.
So, how exactly do they work?
Here's a couple of easy steps you'll be asked to complete once you find the online currency service:
This option is great since you're completely in charge of your money and you can stop and consider the fee they're offering. In addition, you know exactly how much money you'll be spending on the exchange.
The exchanged money will be delivered to your home address and you'll be all set to start your trip without worrying.
As you can see, certain ways of exchanging money can be convenient but they also come with hidden costs and high fees. You may feel like these fees aren't such a big deal when you look at them individually. However, looking at the grand total, you'll find a significant amount that you could've spent on souvenirs, touristic attractions or local cuisine.
Therefore, be wise about foreign currency exchange and try making the right decisions in advance. You'll save yourself the time and most importantly, your money.

A full ALM for our company to support a major multi year ERP implementation. Minimal setup and training was required and the tool has proved reliable for us.
When evaluating solutions for an Application Lifecycle Management tool it became clear to me that the choice would be SpiraTeam (including SpiraPlan). For the price to feature ratio, it could do everything and more than we would need. With the ability to just add additionally licenses as our team grew it provided the flexibility we needed.
The support team at Inflectra is also top notch. Any time I had a question/issue, they were there to help in a quick and friendly manner.
Some areas of the application UI can be a little clunky and unintuitive at times. Inflectra does take user feedback seriously though and I have been able to work with them to resolve most issues we faced.
Effective work process
It is a worry free software for software development projects for me.
Packed features allow the team to grow.
Better integrated source code management features for code review.
Online development environment could be great as well to further simplify the development operations
I can easily manage software requirements for any size software development project.
The value for the money. I primarily use SpiraTeam for requirements management. From that perspective alone, SpiraTeam's functionality is as good or better than IBM/Rational, HP, or ReqTool. To have all the other functionality (test management, task management, Kanban, reporting, etc.) include in the package is a true value-add.
It's a minor inconvenience: response time when first logging-in to the system is somewhat slow. But once the system responds to my login attempt, response time is acceptable - at least as good as other cloud-based systems I use.
I'd like to have versioning for requirements and others, Faster UI and Navigation. Dashboards with all the needed reports and graphs
When lots of test cases are created the app gets sloppy and confused
Missing dashboards and better reports
I have used SpiraPlan for several years to help manage projects. It is a very stable and reliable piece of software. I find it great for managing tasks for staff working remote from the office. It took a bit of getting used to at first as there are several ways of setting up projects. However once you get the hang of it and find the way it works for you it is great. I really like the import / export functions to Microsoft Excel and MS Project - very useful. Also the ability to set up you own custom fields gives it a lot of flexibility. I have used several other software products over the years so have used both good and not so good ones, and I would thoroughly recommend SpiraPlan.
Well let's face it. You don't charge a lot of money.
However, for an extra grand + change I can get MS Test Manager.
Both yours and that product are under evaluation.
I think you have the start of a good program.
I'll keep evaluating and if the check comes in the mail: you win.
I like the ability to connect the requirements to bugs to tests.
It's reasonably priced.
Your support team is very responsive
The logo if pretty good too
We won't use the bug tracker. Not feature rich enough.
The description field is just too small to be useful.
See Bugzilla which is free. That is what we are going to continue using.
For Requirements, we won't use that either except maybe at a very high level. My Product manager is looking for a better description page. We use MS Word and that allows up to view the requirement in full. Our requirements are multiple pages. What you offer is too limiting.
It was a great option at a time the company hadn't selected a requirements management agile tool. Ever since we moved to JIRA, it was best to move to the much simpler, speedier, easy to integrate, TestRail tool.
A much improved interface UI for testing and positively best option for requirements management in a testing tool
very slow access on shared hosting - windows server only - very difficult to integrate with 3rd party APIs
Dashboard is so simple and complex. Reports export is usefull and usable. We are happy to use this sw.
Individual setup seems to me as complicated. Many features is not used due hide somewhere. Need to be more user friendly and intuative.
Thanks for the feedback, we are working to simplify the user experience for new users and hide certain advanced features until users are ready for them.
One stop experience for the entire ALM.
Like the one stop at a software for entire application lifecycle. The licensing fee model was also good.
User interface could be improved similar to Version in agile user stories or even Trello.
Good and Useful
New tool , 1 tool for multi functions
I am new to thistool so need to learn alot
Full featured
A little complex

Theresa S., Virginia
I have been with E-Typist since 2009. It has been the best work-from-home job I've ever had. Everyone is treated as a person and not just a typist number in the system. I was promoted to Project/QA Manager about a year ago and I have to say I love it. Our Answer Desk team is one of the best things I enjoy, we work well together and help each other out when addressing troubleshooting issues from typists and clients. The typists we have are the best to work with, they are fun loving people and very serious about their work product as well. They are always willing to help out if the need arises with a rush project, etc. It's all about teamwork and that's what E-Typist is all about.

Tax Consequence of Debt Settlement
Filed under: Taxes
Obtaining a debt settlement and paying less than what you owe is a smart financial move that proves your expert negotiation abilities right? Well, almost, however while paying back a creditor for less than what you owe is a smart play, you should be aware of how the IRS looks at your debt negotiation deal. The reality is that there are tax consequence of debt settlement as the Internal Revenue Service considers forgiven debt as income which could increase your tax liability.
How the IRS Treats Debt Settlement
When a creditor decides that a debt is uncollectable, typically years after the original default, it will usually report this debt write-off to the IRS in the form of lost income. Likewise, the IRS will then turn to you for the taxes by treating your amount of forgiven debt as income on which you must pay income tax. This tax treatment applies to any amount of debt written off exceeding $600, and is reported in the form of a 1099-C IRS form. You'll be notified if you have had any debt settlement money written off by receiving one of these forms by mail at the conclusion of the tax year.
Deficiency Payments
A deficiency payment is what a consumer owes after a foreclosure sale of a house or a repossession sale of an automobile. If the amount the creditor earned from selling your property is less than the total balance of the loan the debtor is responsible for paying this deficiency.
Bankruptcy After Debt Settlement
There are a few exceptions to the reporting exceptions. For example, if you are insolvent before the debt settlement of debt write off, then you do not have to report this on your tax return. This of course, prompts the need for an additional IRS form, called the IRS Form 982. It's not entirely uncommon for a creditor or collection agency to file a lawsuit over the debt, even after the debt is settled. While the rules differ from state to state, there may be a waiting period that applies to how quickly you can file bankruptcy after settling a debt.

Our history
Each summer Patrizio was driving to Italy to visit his family with his trunk packed with Belgian beers.
During long evenings people were gathering on the terrace to taste the famous "birra belga". As a pastime Patrizio made small turtles with the hood wires of the bottles and gave them to the children.
Every evening, the kids were asking him: "please make me a turtle (tartaruga in Italian)".
Remembering these joyful moments, the name Tartaruga came as a natural choice when brewing its first beer in 2013.
Since then Patrizio has been brewing its beers in collaboration with NovaBirra.
In January 2015, Tartaruga Fine Brewing was born!
And for the sake of keeping a higher level of quality Patrizio has chosen the De Ranke brewery in Dottignies to go and brew himself all its beers.

Most people's hearts would have been thoroughly warmed at the sight of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air crew together again after 27 years.
Will Smith posted a selfie of the whole family, smiling and looking like they were having the best time at the Parsons' charity.
The one person who was not happy with the reunion was the original Aunt Vivian, played by Janet Hubert, who wrote a very sour Facebook post before deleting it.
The post read:
I know the media hoe Alphonso Ribero has posted his so called reunion photo. Folks keep telling me about it. He was always the a– wipe for Will. There will never be a true reunion of the Fresh Prince. I have no interest in seeing any of these people on that kind of level.
I am not offended in the least, by this photo… it was an event for Karen's charity. It does however prompt me to take some meetings in Hollywood to pitch my memoir PERFECTION IS NOT A SITCOM MOM, and tell of the behind the scenes story before I leave this earth.
Alfonso Ribero also posted a photo on Instagram and the 90s crew expressed how much they missed James Avery (Uncle Phil).
The photo featured Alfonso Ribeiro, Tatyana Ali (Ashley), Karyn Parsons (Hilary), Will Smith (Will), Joseph Marcell (Geoffrey), and Daphne Maxwell Reid, who played Aunt Viv after Hubert left the show. The cast had reunited for Parsons' charity.
It would be very interesting to find out what Janet's problem is with Carlton.
How could you be angry at someone with such impeccable moves?

Three Cheers For Texas
9 comments:
- FreeUSA29/2/12 11:44 AM
Of course Obama is threatening Texas. Says the Medicaid Women's Health Provider program will be stopped if Texas continues to deny using Planned Parenthood as a provider. Check out the link below.ReplyDelete
I think it would be great if Texas doesn't back down to the Obama Administration. Wonder what they'll do if Texas threatens to secede?
- Rebel Rouser29/2/12 5:20 PM
It could wake up some of this administration if Texas did secede. We have seaports, refineries, large supply of natural gas, plenty of oil, cattle and land to grow crops. We're already making use of wind and solar power. If we did become our own country more jobs would open up because of the drilling and the prez could keep his medicaid. Let's hope we continue to stand up for what's right.ReplyDelete
- Laurence29/2/12 8:51 PM
Texans! Thanks for standing against this Liberty-hating-administration. If you haven't already; you need to get an armed militia that is separate from the National Guard. That's what Repubs in AZ Legislature are doing now. Check it out.ReplyDelete

No state should be forced to pay for abortions! I worry that Obama will create a civil war. He appears to thrive on the unrest he creates. I stand with Texas all the way! More states need to stand against Obama.ReplyDelete

Well Three Cheers for Texas Allright, Hip, Hip, Hoorah---Hip, Hip, Horrah---Hip, Hip, Hoorah....Ironic isn't it that Peter Durkin points an accusing finger at Perry and says that the decision NOT to provide birth control to low income familiesis is "sinful" but dismisses their own outrageously evil acts of taking the LIVES of the unborn.ReplyDelete
- BillyBob1/3/12 1:39 PM
Dead set against abortion. The only way it should be done is for life threatening medical reasons and for a women or girl who gets violently raped.ReplyDelete
Go for it Texas! Stand up to the dictator.
Abortion clinics should be closed down! No one should be made to support such actions as killing babies. Where does the POTUS get the authority to tell us we have to support horrendous acts like this?ReplyDelete

Further proof can be found in his work on 13 Coins, a hard-edged cross between Biblical wrath and dystopian destruction.
Written by Michael B. Jackson and Martin Brennan, the story begins with a classic (and gruesome) battle between the angels assigned to guard the Earth and a group of angels who fought back against God.
It's never a good idea to oppose God - so for the side of evil, the battle is doomed to failure. But their evil lives on into modern times as the hand of evil rises again and again, and a select group of mortals with special abilities fight back against those forces.
It all leads to a series of battles, giving Bisley plenty of space to work his grim magic. But is it a battle the good guys can win?
This is definitely not a series for kids, but for those looking for a serious and gripping story of good vs. evil - and lots of terrific artwork - this is the book for you!

Sump Pumps
We have used a variety of pumping units over the years, and have always believed a pump with heavy duty ball bearing construction and 'piggy backed' plug is the most reliable for the customer.
After extensive testing, we chose Bell & Gossett as our primary pump.
Bell & Gossett has been in business for over 80 years, and is the premier American made pump manufacturer in the country. They specialize in heavy duty industrial/commercial pumping units, and have downsized some of this special technology for residential use.
We carry three (3) primary pumps:
1/3 HP pumps approx. 45 gallons per minute.
1/2 HP pumps approx. 65 gallons per minute.
3/4 HP pumps approx. 77 gallons per minute.

Pooch Paradise: Stray Dogs Roam Free in Hills of Costa Rica
A Costa Rican sanctuary cares for hundreds of stray dogs, who are allowed to run freely through the vast no-kill shelter.
In a lush, sprawling corner of Costa Rica, hundreds of dogs--among the luckiest strays on earth--roam freely on a hillside. Fed, groomed and cared for by vets, more than 750 dogs rescued from the streets of Costa Rica inhabit Territorio de Zaguates or "Land of the Strays." The 375-acre sanctuary in the center of the Central American country is funded by donations. Around 8,000 dogs have passed through the refuge.
There are more than a million stray dogs in Costa Rica, where the government outlawed putting animals down in 2003.
Above: Stray dogs run at the sanctuary in Carrizal de Alajuela, Costa Rica, on April 20, 2016.
