The Intouch camp of 2016 was a delightful 3 day adventure. We went to The Quiet Corner, a Christian resort in Masinagudi, Tamilnadu. I love nature and animals. Call me a kid if you'd like but I went bonkers when I saw an elephant. I saw some bisons, peacocks, deers and monkeys too, but the elephant was the cherry on the cake. I had an awkward encounter with a cow. We glared at one another and walked away awkwardly while she moved and mooed.
Through the three days, I've learnt a lot, laughed, cried, prayed, fellowshipped, made friends, listened, sang, trekked, danced and played.
Now that the camp is over, I'm sitting in a tempo van that is travelling back to Bangalore. A mild rain splashes on the tempo window and the raindrops glisten and roll sideways because of the wind. My feet hurt from all the dancing. Im unable to sleep, and so I decided that I would remind myself of what I've learnt over the last three days.
The theme: Faith. Hope. Love.
Here's my top 15 pointers, purely out of memory.
1. A Christian cannot grow in holiness. You are either holy or unholy. There is no in-between.
2. A Christian can measure himself based on faith (proved by actions), hope (proved by endurance) and love (proved by labour) – 1 Thess. 1:3. Unlike holiness, you can grow as much as you'd allow yourself to grow in these.
3. Do not major on the minors. Keep your priorities and stay focussed.
4. Have one purpose & aspiration in life- to grow more into the likeness of Christ.
5. Aspiration and commitment must run hand in hand. Christians aspire much, but are committed too little.
6. You cannot prove your love to someone by telling them you love them. Love cannot be defined. It can only be demonstrated. Love labours.
7. The anointing of God is not a replacement to training.
8. In life, you are third. The pinnacle of your focus must be on God. The next focus must be to take your relationship with God and impact people with it. You come last. You are third.
9. Loving-forgiveness is when you are offended by someone, and yet, you seek and hope for nothing but the ultimate good for that person.
10. Faith is brought to life when a man is in relationship with Christ. Faith is made to grow when a man is in fellowship with his brothers.
11. Some Christians just want to lean on Christ and live that way their entire life. Don't be that Christian. LEARN from Christ as much as you LEAN on him.
12. Faith is proved by obedience, and hope by endurance. Faith and hope work only when they are bound together by love. Love labours. Love isn't easy. It's tough. But in love, faith and hope sustain.
13. Love never fails. Love does not gossip. Love does what it can and keeps itself available and ready. Sometimes, love is hurt, but love wins over hatred on any day. Love forgives. Love goes ten trillion extra miles.
14. If the principle of marriage is love, and the bible says that love never fails, why are there so many divorces in the church today? No! Love doesn't fail. It is people that fail. Marriages do not fail. People do.
15. Even if you've failed a trillion times, God does not label you a 'failure'. You may have failed. But you are not a failure. You are a victor in Christ.
Bonus pointer #16: when you look to find a spouse, look for someone who will respect you and your identity in Christ. Look for someone who will honor God's concept of marriage.
That's it for now. I will go home and pull out my notes and intend to write three articles- one on faith, the other on hope and the last on love, this month. Let's see where that goes
It's just so sad that I've got to go to work tomorrow morning. I wish we had one full day just to rest.
I'm reminded of the old Jim Reeves hymn, "Each day I'll do- a golden deed! By helping those- who are in need. My life on earth- is just a span. And so I'll do-the best I can!"
May my hope in Christ produce endurance! Woooooo!!

Dylan definitely took a fresh new approach to the traditional wedding proposal when he got down on one knee and asked Jayde to 'share every adventure with him for the rest of their lives'. In fact he took a minty fresh approach, pardon the pun!
After driving through the Bellarine Penninsula, the loved up couple stopped at a boutique estate cellar door called Kiltynane winery and after tasting their way through the wine list, they ordered a home grown grazing platter and a bottle of wine to sit outside in the garden and enjoy the ocean views of Swan Bay.
It was here that Dylan asked if Jayde if she would 'like a mint?' while producing a tin box of Eclipse mints from his pocket. He opened the tin and to Jayde's surprise, inside was a fine silver diamond band lodged within a sea peppermints.
This proposal embodies all that is Jayde and Dylan – a lovable blend of fun, excitement, surprise and romance. And, of course, this is was exactly what shone through on their special day.
With rustic vibes and classic vintage undertones, their wedding was anything but ordinary. As a surprise, the bride sang 'Rest of my life' by Holley Maher in front of all the guests for her loving groom and to top it all off, there was even a quirky choreographed father/daughter dance.
Christian Marc was there to capture each precious moment. Scroll down to see the details of Jayde and Dylan's wedding.

Growing threats while approaching the meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in Florida. Beijing fears a collapse of the regime and a flood of refugees. But according to some it is "using" the threat of Pyongyang to hold off Seoul, Tokyo and Washington. The problem of US foreign debt to China.
Hong Kong (AsiaNews / Agencies) - President Donald Trump is ready to "solve the North Korea problem" with or without the help of China. In an interview published yesterday in the Financial Times, he said that a US move on North dictatorship would "totally" win.
Trump's comments come just days ahead of a meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. They will meet in the Trump villa at Mar-a-Lago (Florida) on April 6th.
There is a growing frustration in the international community at the increasing development of nuclear and missile program of North Korea, which now has the force to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles.
This development did not stop even with the embargoes placed by the UN, also supported by China.
Beijing is the largest - and perhaps only - ally of North's dictatorship. Last February in blocked coal trade from Pyongyang, depriving the latter of an additional source of income. China is intimidated by the possibility that a growing tension on the Korean Peninsula and a collapse of the regime could create a flood of millions of refugees at its border. At the same time, according to several analysts and dissidents, Beijing seems to "use" the threat of North Korea to keep Seoul, Tokyo and the United States at bay.
In March, US diplomacy even threatened military actions against Pyongyang. But according to economic analysts, the North Korean problem is just a pawn to play in the next meeting between the two presidents, where they will discuss trade.
In late March, Trump signed two executive orders to address the US commercial debt to review agreements and abuses in foreign trade. With China, the US has a debt of about $ 347 billion a year, for a total of 502 billion.

First, the event was a real fun! Thanks to all organizers for flawless execution. I arrived to the ED4 camp on Thu around 5:30pm. (The directions were very clear.) I was greeted by Dave who suggested me several camping options. I chose a campsite close to the main campfire. After setting my tent and having a quick snack, Dave came over to tell me about tomorrow's plans. He thought that trails probably had already been opened by rangers or other 4wheelers, and we will be done by 11am and will be able to run some trails, like Slick Rock in the afternoon. In the hindsight it was over-optimistic which probably reflects Dave's nature ;-) Then I joined the group of Jason, Jim, Mike P, Ole, and Tom to talk about tomorrow etc. Jason demonstrated some amazing articulation of his Jeep and his skill on the huge rock near our camp.
In the evening we gathered by the campfire with our drinks and had a lively conversation. I went to sleep at 10pm.
On Fri 8:30am we had forest rangers visiting our camp. They explained about the changing rules of trail use, handed us preliminary trail and forest road maps and posed for the group pictures. Then we divided into two groups: one led by Dave went to Mattley Ridge Loop trail, and our group of 5 rigs led by Jason & Mike - Jim, Tom & Daniel, Greg & Josh, and I went to Corral Hollow trail. Before leaving the camp Jason's Jeep experienced power steering problem. His hydraulically assisted steering was installed just before this campout and got some air in the system. The air evacuation caused us about 20min delay. We started from the eastern end of the trail; I disconnected, aired down to 20psi. In the beginning the trail was freshly cleared, probably by forest rangers or other groups. However, later on our way we encountered and cleared about 4 fallen trees. But the biggest obstacle and fun was crossing the snow drifts. We needed to use tow strap from the moment we encountered the first large snow drift. Jason was going first and was sailing through most of the snow drifts, but on one of them he got stuck sliding to the side of the drift and ramming his rear tire against the tree stump and his roll cage against the tree. I witnessed some technical finesse how Jason operating two winches from front (his) and rear (Tom's) got out of trouble without damaging anything. Tom and Daniel were the second "victims" following the same line as Jason (first unloading his dog Dusy) and getting into the same predicament. They got out of this situation the same way as Jason. The rest of our team took a bypass without any trouble but also with much less fun. Other snow drifts presented less problems or had bypasses. We were done around 1pm (I think). The team decided to go to Mattley Ridge Loop to check how another group was doing and offer our help if needed. We got on the top of the hill when Jim's engine stalled. Luckily it was just running out of gas. Jim was astounded when he discovered that his Jerry can was also empty. He had to borrow some gas from Tom and was back on track... but in a minute Tom's engine stalled running out of gas! Tom used his remaining gas in a can, and we continued.
We failed to make a contact with Dave but we saw that the trail was not cleared all the way through. We came back to the camp and had some drinks waiting for another group. Ellen just arrived and joined us. When another group finally arrived they were very tired. They removed 11(?) fallen trees and shoveled snow drifts, so that even Mini Cooper could pass. However, the did not finish all the way trough and they did not even start another loop in that trail. There was work to be finished on Saturday.
Dinner organized by Dave and contributed by everybody was great: tasty food, fine desserts, and fun people to talk to. We all gathered around the campfire and had really good time. I sat next to Greg, Dave and Loro, and we talked about 4wheeling and CAL4WD. I called it a night at 10am. Tomorrow we had to start at 7:30am.
On Saturday we departed to Mattley Ridge Loop trail around 8am. On the trail we divided into two groups. I joined the one led by Jason & Mike. Others in our group were Greg & Josh and Mike & Brittany. We had really exiting trail run through the loop that has not been touched the day before: tight, steep and off-camber in places, running in dense woods and traversing nice meadows. We removed 5 fallen trees and were done around noon. We headed back to camp. Jason, Mike and Jim were packing up and leaving, while Gary, Greg, Josh, Mike and I were planning to go to Slick Rock train once Dave's group returns. When they came back it was already too late for Greg and Josh but we (Gary and Marlene, Mike & Reynosa, and I) were joined by Chris & Patty and Dave & Loro with her dog Alpine.
We were concerned that the stream crossing the trail may be too deep for stock height of Chris and Patty's Jeep but decided to give it a try. There were numerous other groups on Slick Rock trail. I must say that the trail changed a bit since I last visited it a couple of years ago: more eroded in places, the was no bypass for the Slick rock itself, and there's only one way down among scattered rocks. I followed Dave & Loro over steep ledge at the bottom of the Slick rock and made some metal contact. The stream was not deep at all - it receded since Mike visited it a couple of weeks back. However, the steps at the end of the trail changes since my last visit. I was unable to make it all the way up the normal rout and took an easier rout over the rock on the left. Only Dave and Mike in longer wheelbase rigs made it straight up. Amazingly, Chris and Patty made the whole trail in their near stock JK unlimited 4d without damaging anything. Great work!
After Slick Rock trail we all went back to the camp. I packed and left around 5pm.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed this trip, and it helped me to get to know closer people from the club. Looking forward to the next adventure!

Our allergy experience has changed immensely since our testing a few months ago. As an update, I'm sharing an email I wrote to my son (he has a Gmail account that we periodically send messages to). Here's the latest in our story.
More than three years ago, I scrambled up some eggs and tried to feed them to you. I didn't add cheese because a few weeks prior, Greek yogurt had made you break out in hives, so I wanted to be safe and not reintroduce dairy for a while.
I was excited for you to try eggs. I wanted you to get more protein and nutrients, and you were still so new to table food that meat was a struggle. (Honestly, a lot of foods were a struggle, but I recall meat being especially challenging for you.) Eggs, I thought, would be good for you.
Within seconds, hives appeared. I couldn't believe it. Were you allergic to eggs? Really? I had no idea that eggs were such a common allergen. (I've learned a lot in the years since.)
The next morning, we happened to have a doctor's appointment for a follow-up to an ear infection, and I described your symptoms after eating eggs and yogurt and asked about food allergies. The doctor said we absolutely should test for food allergies.
So, I took you — just 10 months old — to the lab for a blood draw. When the results came back a few days later, we were told you were likely highly allergic to eggs and dairy, yes, but also soy, nuts and peanuts. They had us come in the meet with Dr. C, who prescribed an EpiPen and taught us how to use it. He also told me that if I was going to continue breastfeeding, I'd need to avoid all the foods that you were allergic to as well. Then, they referred us to an allergist for further testing.
The allergist did follow-up skin testing, which confirmed these allergies. So, every year just before your birthday, we go back for skin testing, and a couple of times now, we've done follow-up blood work. When we saw the allergist in May, we were testing for dairy and egg. Both were positive, but improving — and improving enough that they recommended blood work. The results of that test encouraged the allergist to recommend a baked milk challenge, and earlier this summer, we went in for an oral food challenge, where you ate muffins with baked milk ... and were given the all clear! (They don't have that same confidence for cheese or other dairy, so we'll do blood work again in six months.)
After the progress with baked milk and based on your blood test results, the allergist felt we should do an oral food challenge for eggs. Yesterday, we returned to the allergist's office with fresh scrambled eggs in my purse. I was nervous, but hopeful.
The nurse came in and gave you .1 grams of egg. No problem. Then, .2 grams, then .4 grams and .8 grams. You were good. No rashes, no hives, no tingling lips, no troubles at all. Soon, she was bringing in huge bites — double doses. You passed with flying colors!
You had some reservations about the texture of scrambled eggs. And frankly, I don't blame you. But I was surprised you seemed to be OK with the taste. Of course, I offered you scrambled eggs this morning for breakfast, and you said, "Maybe Sunday." So, I guess you didn't exactly love them.
After your test, we had lunch and called Grandma and Grandpa to tell them the good news. Then, I took you to school. As we turned the corner to enter your classroom, Miss Shannon saw you and said, "Oh, this is good news." She knew that if you hadn't had a successful test, we probably wouldn't have come to school.
She asked you what you ate that morning, and you so proudly said, "I ate eggs!" She gave you a big hug and said, "This opens up so many more possibilities for you!"
Indeed it does, buddy. It means infinitely more options for breakfast, of course. But it also means the possibility of foods like meatballs and fresh pasta and fried rice. It also means more cakes and breads.
A couple years ago, I tried to make a pumpkin "loaf" (it's a cake, really) for you, substituting for the eggs. Oh dear, it was so vile. I swore off most cakes for you until the day you could have eggs. I'm hoping we'll make that cake this weekend. And maybe homemade ravioli. Maybe some French toast or breakfast burritos. Whatever we make, it will be wonderful to be in the kitchen with you — and no matter which foods you like or don't like, I'm pretty confident you're going to love having more options as a result of no longer having this allergy.
When you were first diagnosed with food allergies, the allergist told us that 80 percent of kids outgrow their egg and dairy allergies by age 5. You're just nine months shy of 5. And I'm super optimistic that you're going to be among the 80 percent.
You have no idea what a relief it is to your dad and me to know that your body no longer thinks it needs to react to this food as an enemy. Yesterday was a momentous day.
I love you so much, buddy.

No. 21 Wrestling Heads to Desert to Face No. 24 Arizona State
Jan. 27, 2010
Complete Release in PDF Format
LOOKING AHEAD — The No. 21 Oregon State Beavers (15-1, 3-1 Pac-10) compete in their final five dual meets of the season on the road over the next three weeks, beginning with the No. 24 Arizona State Sun Devils (8-4, 3-0 Pac-10) on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
TRACKING the beavs— Full results from this week's dual can be found through the newly redesigned osubeavers.com. Live stats for Sunday's meet can be found through the Arizona State Official Athletic Website at thesundevils.com on the wrestling schedule page.
DUAL 17: NO. 24 ARIZONA STATE (8-4, 3-0 PAC-10) — Sunday, Jan. 31 (1:00 p.m.): The Beavers are 14-17 all-time against the Sun Devils. Oregon State has won the last three meetings, including last season's 19-13 decision at home.
Arizona State is currently riding at four-meet winning streak, beginning with a three-dual sweep at the Lone Star Duals before a 41-4 win over Embry-Riddle last Friday at home. All four of the Sun Devils losses have been to teams ranked in the top 20 teams, falling to Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Ohio State and Wisconsin. Arizona State boasts three wrestlers ranked in the January 26 Intermat Top 20 Rankings, led by junior 125-pounder Anthony Robles, ranked third, with a 21-2 overall record, 12-0 in duals. Joining Robles is junior Chris Drouin at 141 pounds, ranked 13th, and senior heavyweight Eric Nye, ranked 17th. Oregon State sophomore Clayton Jack faced Nye at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational with Nye walking away with the 3-2 decision. Head coach Shawn Charles is in his first season leading the Sun Devils. And Arizona State is 2-0 at home with wins over Grand Canyon and Embry-Riddle.
REWIND to last week — The Oregon State wrestling team defeated Nebraska, 32-7, at home on Senior Day. The win is the fourth time ever the Beavers have won against the Huskers in the all-time series.
Senior Keegan Davis earned his fifth major decision of the season at 157 pounds, while senior Dan Brascetta followed closely with a decision at 165 pounds. Junior Colby Covington upset No. 3 Stephen Dwyer with a 2-1 decision at 174 pounds, and sophomore heavyweight Clayton Jack came from behind to upset No. 10 Tucker Lane with a fall as time expired.
ODDS & ENDS — The current 14-meet winning streak ties the longest since 1985 and 1986, when the Beavers went on a 14-match winning streak. Prior to that streak, Oregon State's next longest was 17 in 1984. The longest streak in school history is 29, taking place from 1957-60.
The Beavers' 15-1 start to the season is the best start since the 2006-07 campaign. Oregon State went 17-2 overall, opening the season 7-0 before capturing the Pac-10 Championship. Oregon State is currently riding a 14-meet winning streak.
Junior Colby Covington's 13 pins thus far on the season is the most by an individual since heavyweight Andy Bowlby in the 2002-03 season. It ties the 23rd most ever in a single season and is eighth most for juniors. Freshman RJ Pena and sophomores Kelly Kubec and Clayton Jack and are close behind with 12 falls each. Pena is tied for the third most by a freshman in school history, and Kubec and Jack are tied for seventh all-time for sophomores at this point.
Oregon State had its top finish in recent years at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational on December 4-5. The Beavers finished eighth of 42 (77.5), earning the best finish by an unranked team at the tournament. Sophomore Chad Hanke had the top finish for the team at 197 pounds, placing fourth. Sophomore Kelly Kubec finished fifth at 133 pounds and sophomore Clayton Jack and freshman RJ Pena placed seventh at heavyweight and 149 pounds.
Oregon State defeated its first ranked opponent in No. 13 Wisconsin on Sunday, Nov. 22, since January 5, 2007, when the Beavers defeated No. 19 Nebraska on the road, 21-15.
RJ Pena is the third true freshman to not utilize his redshirt in his rookie season on the current squad. Senior Keegan Davis and sophomore Cody Weishoff both lettered their true freshman seasons.
The Beavers return three NCAA qualifiers from last season in senior Keegan Davis and sophomores Kelly Kubec and Clayton Jack, adding sophomore transfer Ryan Smith from Oklahoma, who qualified last season at 165 pounds.
RANKING UP WITH THE GREATS — Senior Keegan Davis is currently 28th all-time for career wins with 86. He has the most wins of anyone since Ty Watterson (2004-07), who finished his career with 87. And sophomore Clayton Jack currently has 21 career pins, good to tie for 26th. He's only four away from Watterson's record of 23. In just his first season, junior Colby Covington ranks 17th all-time for career winning percentage (.857) with a 30-5 record.
WHAT THE COACHES THINK — Nine Oregon State wrestlers received recognition in the first NCAA Division I Coaches Panel Rankings, released January 17. Junior Colby Covington led the way with 11th place ranking at 174 pounds. Senior Keegan Davis was 13th at 157 pounds, and redshirt sophomore Jason Lara and sophomore Kelly Kubec were 15th at 125 and 133 pounds. Freshman RJ Pena earned a 16th place ranking at 149 pounds, followed closely by sophomore Clayton Jack at heavyweight, ranked 17th. Sophomore Chad Hanke was tied for 24th at 197 pounds, redshirt freshman Mike Mangrum 25th at 141 pounds and junior Brice Arand 31st at 184 pounds to round out the nine. The rankings are part of what qualifies wrestlers for the NCAA Championships.
COLBY CRACKING THE TOP 10 — Junior transfer Colby Covington is the first wrestler to break into the Intermat top 10 for the Beavers since Kyle Bressler at 184 pounds last season. Bressler did not finish the 2008-09 season in the top 10. Prior to Bressler, the last wrestler was Ty Watterson during the 2006-07 season at heavyweight, finishing the season ranked fourth and earning All-America status.
AWN TOP 20 WRESTLERS — Six Oregon State wrestlers are ranked in the Amateur Wrestling News Individual Rankings, released January 26. Senior Keegan Davis nabbed the top spot for the team, ranked 12th at 157 pounds. Junior 174-pounder Colby Covington is next with a 13th place ranking with freshman RJ Pena right behind with a 14th place ranking at 149 pounds. Sophomore heavyweight Clayton Jack 15th. And sophomore Kelly Kubec and redshirt sophomore Jason Lara are 16th at 125 and 133 pounds.
INTERMAT top 25 — Six Oregon State wrestlers are still ranked in the Intermat Top 25 Poll, released January 26. Junior Colby Covington leads the way with an ninth place ranking at 174 pounds.

The team remained in the top 25 this week, staying at 18th after being ranked No. 20 two weeks ago and 21st for six straight weeks in a row after breaking in on November 24.
YOUTH IN THE LINEUP — The projected Oregon State lineup is packed with underclassmen as only one senior is listed in Keegan Davis. Juniors Brice Arand and Colby Covington round out the upperclassmen. One redshirt sophomore (Jason Lara), four sophomores (Kelly Kubec, Ryan Smith, Chad Hanke, Clayton Jack), one redshirt freshman (Mike Mangrum) and a true freshman (RJ Pena) round out the starting 10.

In the 2017-2018 season, CBS had three reboots on its schedule: MacGyver, Hawaii Five-O, and S.W.A.T., and that's not even considering the new Star Trek series they launched on CBS All Access. Not only are all of those back, they're being joined by even more reboots, being added to a schedule of shows that are mostly on extremely long runs.
Magnum PI (9:00 pm Mondays) and Murphy Brown (9:30 pm Thursdays) are the official reboots. The former is pretty much what you fondly remember: Hawaii, Ferrari, confidently masculine lead (Jay Hernandez) who will probably go on to seduce younger women in a beloved sitcom. The latter has Brown (Candace Bergen) anchoring a morning news show, in rivalry to her son, who is anchoring a morning news show on a Fox News parody.
Not a reboot, but a show that sure feels like one (and you can easily guess what show it could reboot), is FBI, from Law & Order maestro Dick Wolf, starring Missy Peregrym (Law & Order SVU), Jeremy Sisto (Law & Order) Connie Nielsen (Law & Order SVU), and Ebonee Noel (Law & Order SVU), and that may be because originally Wolf intended it to be a spin-off for NBC.
Beyond that, CBS has two new sitcoms, The Neighborhood, starring Max Greenfield as a very nice man in a very tough neighborhood, and Happy Together, about a suburban couple (Damon Wayans Jr. and Amber Stevens West) who have a pop singer move into their suburban house taking up the 8:00 pm-9:00 pm Monday block, and the hourlong dramedy God Friended Me (8:00 pm Sundays), about an atheist who gets friended by God and finds himself stumbling into improving the lives of the people around him, sort of like Touched By An Angel — if the angel in question just told you what to do via Messenger.
If that doesn't sound like a lot of shows, and despite CBS completely reconfiguring its Monday schedule, it isn't. That's because CBS has kept almost everything. In addition to the three reboots above, it renewed almost everything that wasn't on Mondays and that wasn't a sitcom, although Matt LeBlanc's Man With A Plan survived the comedy purge. A fair chunk of the network's programming, like NCIS (itself a spinoff of the '90s legal drama JAG), Survivor, Criminal Minds, and The Big Bang Theory have been on for more than a decade, and Blue Bloods will cross the decade mark this year.
To be fair, it works: CBS and NBC fought it out for number one last year, and it's telling that NBC is leaning into comedy harder right as CBS has largely decided to go for hour-long dramas in various forms. But every TV show goes off the air at some point, even if only for a little time to let another network reboot it, and one has to wonder how CBS will approach this problem when it comes up. But for this year, at least, it can lean on its long-runners.

New Delhi: A study conducted on macaques revealed that the deadly Ebola virus has the potential to infect human reproductive organs.
The Ebola outbreak that took West Africa by storm from 2013-2016 was the most widespread outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in history and resulted in major loss of life and socio-economic disruption in the region, mainly in the countries of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.
It was also declared an epidemic and a global emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Studies conducted on survivors have revealed sexual transmission of Ebola virus and that viral RNA (Ebola virus genetic material) can persist in semen following recovery.
While little is known about viral persistence in female reproductive tissues, pregnant women with Ebola virus disease has a maternal death rate of more than 80 percent and a fetal death rate of nearly 100 percent.
The new study, published in The American Journal of Pathology, indicated that the Ebola virus can also persist in reproductive organs in both men and women survivors.
The virus may reach reproductive organs with minimal tissue immune response or signs of disease, said researchers from the Thomas Jefferson University in Pennsylvania, US.
For the study, the team infected four female and eight male macaques with the Makona variant of Ebola virus – the variant responsible for the West Africa outbreak.
All the macaques succumbed to Ebola disease and were euthanized six to nine days after the infection.
The reproductive tissue samples from each macaque were analyzed for signs of Ebola virus infection, organ and tissue damage, and immune responses.
The results demonstrated widespread Ebola virus infection of the interstitial tissues and endothelium in the ovary, uterus, testis, seminal vesicle, epididymis and prostate gland, in both male and female macaques.
However, it is unclear if the detection of Ebola virus RNA in semen documented in human studies means that the infectious virus is present, the researchers noted.
Additional research is needed to learn how Ebola virus persists in these sites, to determine if drugs and vaccines can cure or prevent such infections, and to understand the mechanisms of sexual transmission, including why it appears to occur only rarely in humans, they said.
The first known outbreak of EVD was identified only after the fact, occurring between June and November 1976 in Nzara, South Sudan (then part of Sudan), and was caused by Sudan virus (SUDV).

Sign up: https://events.mobilizeamerica.io/slsonoma/event/63890/
Our last chance to contact voters!
Please join us for a Swing Left Sonoma County Virtual Phone Bank from your home. There is still time to ensure that all Democratic voters get to the polls!
Research shows that volunteer phone banking can 'move the needle' 2.5 points during an election. That is a huge impact given the thin margins expected in many of the Battleground Districts this November.
Once you RSVP, one of our Sonoma County Hub Directors will be in touch with instructions and priorities.
Our work continues through November 6.
Every day our calendar changes. There are more postcard parties, canvassing, texting, and phone calling campaigns for the November election. Just check out our calendar!
Indivisible Sonoma County collaborates with other Indivisible groups and resistance organizations around the county and throughout California to expand the ways you can help us make a difference and vote people into Congress who will protect our democracy. And we put all those opportunities on our calendar. Easy to use, and easy to find ways to resist!
Violence. Lies. Corruption.
Make your calls to urge our Members of Congress to call out the violence, lies, and corruption. And urge our Senators to use every legislative tool available to put a halt to the Republican majority stacking and packing the courts with ultra-conservatives and incompetents. Enough is enough.
Time to make some calls.
Use our Phone Scripts 11.1-11.4.2018, and sign up for Amplify. We fuel the blue wave by our commitment to standing up for our constitution.

Read about Cal Lord's mission trip to Mexico:
Monday, March 1, 201
Day 4 - Friday If we ate like we did on mission trips all the time we would all weigh well over 200 pounds. Of course some of us do and we are over 200 pounds but that's not the point. The point is that our cooks do a great job. Mark Kane and Mark Salomon are up early and have the food ready for us when we get up. Verna cooks up a great lunch and it is ready for us when we return at 1:00 p.m. Every night we have left overs and there's always something good to nibble on. Tonight Left us hot dogs and beans – an authentic American meal. Mark fried them up and we ate all of them....(click here to read more)

Women Entrepreneurs
An enterprise owned and controlled by women having a minimum financial interest of 51percent of the capital and giving at least 51 percent of the employment generated by the enterprise to women - Government of India
A woman entrepreneur can be defined as a confident, innovative and creative woman capable of achieving self economic independence individually or in collaboration, generates employment opportunities for others through initiating, establishing and running the enterprise by keeping pace with her personal, family and social life - Kamal Singh
Women entrepreneurs share the following common characteristics: -
• Self-motivated and self-directed
• High need for achievement
• Internal locus of control
• Risk taking propensity
• Competence in finance and business management skills
• Strong interpersonal (and communication) skills
• Consensus building competencies
Problems of Women Entrepreneurs
1. The greatest deterrent to women entrepreneurs is that they are women. A kind of patriarchal – male dominant social order is the building block to them in their way towards business success. Male members think it a big risk financing the ventures run by women. 2. The financial institutions are sceptical about the entrepreneurial abilities of women. The bankers consider women loonies as higher risk than men loonies. The bankers put unrealistic and unreasonable securities to get loan to women entrepreneurs. According to a report by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), "despite evidence that, women's loan repayment rates are higher than men's, women still face more difficulties in obtaining credit," often due to discriminatory attitudes of banks and informal lending groups (UNIDO, 1995). 3. Entrepreneurs usually require financial assistance of some kind to launch their ventures - be it a formal bank loan or money from a savings account. Women in developing nations have little access to funds, due to the fact that they are concentrated in poor rural communities with few opportunities to borrow money. The women entrepreneurs are suffering from inadequate financial resources and working capital. The women entrepreneurs lack access to external funds due to their inability to provide tangible security. Very few women have the tangible property in hand. 4. Women's family obligations also bar them from becoming successful entrepreneurs in both developed and developing nations. "Having primary responsibility for children, home and older dependent family members, few women can devote all their time and energies to their business". The financial institutions discourage women entrepreneurs on the belief that they can at any time leave their business and become housewives again. The result is that they are forced to rely on their own savings, and loan from relatives and family friends. 5. Indian women give more emphasis to family ties and relationships. Married women have to make a fine balance between business and home. More over the business success is depends on the support the family members extended to women in the business process and management. The interest of the family members is a determinant factor in the realization of women folk business aspirations. 6. Another argument is that women entrepreneurs have low-level management skills. They have to depend on office staffs and intermediaries, to get things done, especially, the marketing and sales side of business. Here there is more probability for business fallacies like the intermediaries take major part of the surplus or profit. Marketing means mobility and confidence in dealing with the external world, both of which women have been discouraged from developing by social conditioning. Even when they are otherwise in control of an enterprise, they often depend on males of the family in this area. 7. The male - female competition is another factor, which develop hurdles...

Wedge Salad
Swapping the bacon with walnuts lends a healthy twist on the typical wedge salad.
- 1/2 iceberg lettuce (I actually used romaine because I prefer the taste of romaine to iceberg)
- 1 tablespoon Healthy Smokey Bleu (Blue) Cheese Dressing
- 1/2 tablespoon bleu cheese, crumbled
- 4 walnut halves, crumbled
- Pepper, to taste
- Top lettuce with all ingredients.
- Enjoy!
Nutritional data
Serving size: 1 salad
Calories: 145
Fat: 12 grams
Carbohydrates: 10 grams
Protein: 6 grams
Keep in mind that almost all of the fat (except for 3 grams) comes from the walnuts.
Nutritional value is approximate.
I love wedge salad. What I don't love is the fat/calories and the bacon (I don't eat pork). While eating with my mom last weekend I ordered a wedge salad without bacon. To my surprise, the chef swapped out walnuts for the bacon. It was so good that I knew I had to recreate a healthier version of the meal. I used romaine instead of an iceberg wedge because I prefer the taste of romaine, but it was as delicious as expected.

'Irregular acquisition of people's money will not be tolerated', says Narendra Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a keynote at the 4th Global Business Summit in Delhi. He shared his vision for India and elaborate on the role India has to play in the future of the world economy. Modi also said his government will take stringent action against financial irregularities and not tolerate loot of public money, breaking his silence more than a week after India's second-largest bank PNB said it had been defrauded of over Rs 11,400 crore.
Speaking at the 4th Global Business Summit in Delhi, Modi said,''You will remember 4 years ago, when India was talked about, it was counted in 'Fragile 5'. Today India's $5 trillion economy aim, & not Fragile 5, is talked about.''
''While the previous govt connected only 59 panchayats through an optical fibre, our govt in just 3 years connected more than 1,10,000 village panchayats through optical fibre:,'' Modi also said.
He further said,''You are aware of the earlier banking system & how an environment of crony capitalism was entrenched in the system. More than 2000 insolvency professionals & 62 insolvency entities are engaged in solving this. Our govt in 3 months has been able to solve more than 2700 cases.''
''I would like to make it clear that our govt is taking strict actions against irregularities related to economic matters, it will continue to do so. Irregular acquisition of people's money will not be tolerated,'' Modi said.
Days after the fraud allegedly masterminded by diamantaire Nirav Modi came to light, the Prime Minister asked the management of financial institutions as well as the supervisory bodies to do their job diligently to check such instances.

The challenge this week is to create an image or two and discuss the importance of copyright. I made the following image using one of the suggested websites.
This is the first year my classes will participate in the annual Student Blogging Challenge. The goal is to start online conversations with students of the same age and interests around the world. We have worked for the past six weeks getting ready for the challenge. It is finally here and we are learning how to use the blogs we have worked so hard to build.
New tasks are posted every Sunday. Students can select one or all of the tasks to complete. They submit links to their finished works on the Student Blogging Challenge website for other students to find and comment on their completed tasks. The goal is to have global conversations that are meaningful and constructive while learning how to live in a digital world.
Check out my students' blogs on the right hand side of this page.
We are well on our way to achieving awesome things in Room 140. Three weeks into the new year and I cannot wait to see what becomes of this batch of 7th grade students.
This website is where you can get news about my (Mr. James) class as well as connect to my students in the US and even students around the world!
Be sure and subscribe (it's a painless process) over on the right so you can get all the latest updates about what's going on in class.
Things to look forward to:
The city of Riga, Latvia holds the claim as home to history's first decorated Christmas tree, back in 1510.
In Argentina, Christmas is a blend of American, European, and Hispanic traditions. Their celebrations typically include the boots of Father Christmas, red and white flowers, and putting cotton on Xmas trees to simulate snow. But most family gatherings take place on Christmas Eve, with huge feasts, gifts exchanged at midnight, and children going to sleep to the sound of fireworks.
In spite of Ethiopia's Christian heritage, Christmas is not an important holiday there. Most people actually call the holiday Ganna or Genna after a hockey-like ball game played only once a year, on Christmas afternoon.
On Christmas Day, tradition allows Lebanese children to go up to any adult and say, "Editi 'aleik!" ("You have a gift for me!"). If the adult has a present to spare, the kids add this to their Christmas morning haul.
Winning the award for longest preparation time, Greenland's traditional Christmas dish, kiviak, takes a full seven months to prepare. It begins with hollowing out a seal skin and stuffing it with 500 auks– a sea bird (feathers and all)– to ferment. When the holiday rolls around, it's served straight from the seal.
How's this for a weird Christmas food? South Africa is home to some of the world's most unusual holiday food fare. Every December locals feast on a seasonal delicacy– the deep-fried caterpillars of Emperor Moths!
The tradition of tinsel, which was invented in Germany in 1610, is based on a legend about spiders whose web turned into silver when they were spun in a Christmas tree.

We have spent the past two classes setting up our blogs and are on our way to becoming global authors! Check out their blogs under "Class Blogs" on the right side of this site. They are really proud of them.
For students who have been absent or need additional time in class, I have created a page on this website with images of the notes we take in class. Click on the heading "Our Composition Book."
2016/2017 is already bigger than any year I have had. More students are part of the Awesomeness than previous years, and I cannot wait to see all that they will accomplish together. We have already jumped into "Indelible Moments" and will be writing those down for future generations. I have to confess that I am always emotional during the "Indelible Moments" lesson because of the moments I will never forget:
Share those moments with one another. More importantly, share them with your loved ones. Chances are, they make up most of your "Indelible Moments."
Since Thursday of last week, we have been taking benchmark tests in the Awesomeness. 7th graders have to take three STAAR tests for English: a written composition test, a revising and editing test, as well as a reading test. We like to have a benchmark test for each STAAR test administered, so we need a whole week to get those benchmarks administered.
I think the word "Benchmark" stresses students out, so we call them corn dogs. It's weird. I know.
Spring Break is right around the corner, and we all need a rest before the final preparation for the Writing STAAR on March 29.

After the straight poker a brand-new form was introduced called stud poker. The cards are dealt in a deliberate combination of either face-down and face-up rounds, or roads, with a round of betting adhering to each. Earlier the video game had 3 cards however it transformed to five. A new idea of the seven-card stud has actually gotten a lot of popularity. It deals two added cards to each gamer. This video game of five cards draws obtained appeal amongst all various other variants.
Flop poker
There are two variations in it called as the Omaha and hold-em. It is stopped different from other variants here cards are incompletely dealt and with face-down cards, proceeding with a number of face-up community cards which, it is utilized by one or more gamers making a five card hand. There is no such point as the "main policies of poker" as the guidelines are made by the casino or the gamers playing it. A complete hand is dealt with each gamer, every one of them face-down, and the betting more than gamers are allowed to earn an adjustment in their hand to improve it; this is done by disposing of undesirable cards.
Variants of the Videogame
Some treatment has actually to be taken for particular variants like Roberts rules of poker, Texas hold 'em rules, Omaha poker approaches, pot limits, stud and stud high-low, pineapple, lowball, draw, Razz etc. These Dominobet policies make the base of the video game and a gamer makes the techniques as well as win the game. When you play this video game, especially if you are simply starting out, don't place up so a lot at. Establish a budget and persevere. You don't wish to drop sufferer thus many others of playing so much you cannot identify ways to obtain your rental fee paid next month.

} FDX FDX, -0.52% , pilots reach tentative agreement By Jeffry Bartash, CBS MarketWatch Last Update:
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (CBS.MW) -- Negotiators for Federal Express and its pilots union said Friday they have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract, settling a bitter impasse that almost led to a strike.
FDX Corp. (FDX) FDX, -0.52% , the parent of the world's largest cargo airline, jumped 6 9/16, or 8.6 percent, to 82 7/8. The stock touched a 52-week high. Shares also surged Thursday on a strong earnings report. See related story.
"This agreement places the FedEx pilots in the upper echelon of the airline industry and is a win for both [the company and the FedEx Pilots Association]," said Theodore Weise, FDX's chief executive, in a statement.
"We are pleased to have been able to hammer out the final details," said Frank Fato, the pilots association's president.
Under the agreement, the pilots would receive a 17 percent raise over five years. That's less than the 24 percent over four years the union was seeking, but the pilots association won unspecified concessions on job security and retirement benefits.
The agreement will go to the approximately 3,500 union members for a ratification vote later this month.
FedEx and the pilots union have been negotiating since July. As talks dragged on, the increasingly frustrated union threatened to strike during the holiday season.
Yet the union decided to return to the bargaining table after the company took steps to prepare for a strike -- including seeking out other air carriers -- and warned that pilots could lose their jobs if they did walk out.
On Thursday, FDX said it would take charges totaling $110 million to $120 million in the second half of its current fiscal year related to its contingency strike plans.
Investors have already written those expenses off, however, and the stock got a boost Thursday after FDX also reported that it beat Wall Street's second-quarter earnings projections by 16 percent.

Employees. Customers. Products. Partners. Each element needs time, attention, and focus if I'm going to create the value for which I am ultimately accountable. All four are important, and without discipline even the best managers can overlook one or more. Employees and products command attention every day, as they are closest to us; customers provide the resources we need to do anything, so they also command energy. But partners provide the lift we need to soar. They help us see around corners, help us locate new opportunities we might not see alone. Since becoming a CEO I now recognize there are many more constituents in this constellation. Governments and communities, for example, are critical, too. There has to be a disciplined approach in which all of these players see the value of a company, of its products and services. Maximizing value comes from maximizing the well-being and vibrancy of all these constituents.
