Bible Question:

It's been said that your eyes are the window to your soul. Well, research is showing that your eyes are a window to a lot more than your thoughts and emotions; it can be an indicator of your overall health. A study by UnitedHealthcare entitled, "Impact of Eye Exams in Identifying Chronic Conditions" showed that through comprehensive eye exams, eye care practitioners can identify some chronic diseases and conditions to help with early diagnosis, an earlier start of treatment and better disease management and prognosis.
What makes the eye so special in this regard is that it is the only organ through which you can see nerves and blood vessels without an invasive procedure or surgery. Aside from known eye diseases, many other conditions have symptoms that manifest in your eyes. Sometimes an eye exam can reveal damage caused by chronic conditions and disease in other parts of your body, before you even begin to notice symptoms. For many chronic conditions and diseases, early diagnosis and treatment are essential for a successful outcome, and these discoveries through an eye exam can often detect the early stages of disease.
According to the study, eye doctors identified 15% of participants with diabetes and multiple sclerosis, in addition to a number of other chronic conditions including high cholesterol, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease and Graves disease. An eye exam can also detect neurological, thyroid and autoimmune diseases.
Let's have a look at some of these conditions individually and how an eye exam by an experienced eye doctor can detect a problem from the window of the eye:
Diabetes: Diabetes can cause an eye disease called diabetic retinopathy, where blood vessels inside the eyes become prone to leaking fluid and small amounts of blood onto the retina. Retinal vascular changes and blood vessel hemorrhaging areindicators that diabetes is present and may be affecting other sensitive organs and tissues like the kidney.
Hypertension / high blood pressure: High intraocular pressure readings obtained from measuring the pressure inside your eye are usually associated with glaucoma, but they can also indicate high blood pressure.
High cholesterol: High cholesterol puts you at risk for cardiovascular disease and strokes. Rarely, it can present in the eye by a white painless ring around the outer edge of the cornea, called an arcus, which is a buildup of fat particles (not to be confused with an arcus senilis , which affects the elderly and is not necessarily associated with cholesterol). Occasionally, a dilated eye exam can detect signs of high cholesterol. In severe cases, retinal vein occlusion can develop which means the blood flowing to and from your eye is blocked, which may be related to a clot that leads to sudden vision loss.
Neurological issues: Although your eye can twitch form time to time, a persistent eye twitch combined with a twitch on the side of your mouth and/or other symptoms might indicate that a neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's is developing. Most eye twitches have benign causes like fatigue, stress, or caffeine.
Thyroid disease: Your thyroid gland regulates your body's metabolism. A classic sign of thyroid disease is a bulging eyeball, because an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can cause swelling of the soft tissues within the eye socket. Since thyroid hormones are involved in hair production, an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can lead to hair loss in the outer part of the eyebrow.
Autoimmune disease: Certain autoimmune diseases can affect the eyes, including HIV, Graves Disease, Sjogren's syndrome, systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and uveitis.
These are only some of the diseases that present symptoms which manifest in your eyes, but this sample does illustrate how enlightening a simple eye exam can be. Eye exams are not only to make sure your vision is up to par. Have your eyes checked regularly to ensure you are keeping your eye health and overall health in check.

One of the most common complaints from pet owners is that their pets are destructive or disruptive when they are left alone. Dogs may bark, howl, chew, dig, defecate or urinate. Although these behaviors are often a sign that dogs need to be housebroken or crate trained, they can also indicate that a dog is suffering from stress and anxiety.
Cats can also suffer from anxiety; they may hide, appear withdrawn, or excessively lick or bite their fur. Anxiety is the anticipation of future dangers from unknown or imagined events. Anxiety is most frequently associated with urine/feces elimination, destruction and excessive vocalization in the form of barking or crying.
Understanding the causes for anxiety in pets is essential to relieving this stress and helping pets live a happy and calm life.
Separation anxiety is a leading cause for anxiety and stress in dogs. Separation anxiety typically occurs right after the primary guardian leaves. While there is no clear evidence as to exactly why separation anxiety may develop, a sudden change in guardians or family membership, a change in schedule, or a change in residence are all common triggers for separation anxiety.
For dogs with a mild case of separation anxiety, counter conditioning may help reduce or resolve these problems. Counter conditioning is a process that changes an animal's fearful, aggressive or anxious reaction to a pleasant and relaxed one. This is achieved by associating the presence or sight of a fearful situation with a liked person or object.
For separation anxiety, one effective option for counter conditioning is to develop an association between being alone and something your pet loves, such as a favorite treat. Be sure to only allow your pet to interact with this treat when he or she is alone. Keep in mind, however, that counter conditioning is typically most successful with mild cases of anxiety; in more severe cases, pets may refuse to eat if a guardian is not home.
Moderate to severe cases of anxiety require a more complex approach to stress relief, according to veterinarians. In addition to counter conditioning, desensitization is also helpful.
Consult with your veterinarian to learn more about the best ways to carry out counter conditioning and desensitization training, and also discuss the possibility of using psychotropic drugs. In some cases, your pet may benefit from working with a board -certified veterinary behaviorist.

The Walt Disney Co.'s decision to end its apparel production in Bangladesh after more than 500 people died in the collapse of a garment factory complex has sparked fears of a mass exodus of Western retailers.
According to The New York Times, "Mohammad Fazlul Azim, a member of the Bangladesh Parliament and an influential garment factory owner, implored brands not to leave Bangladesh," noting that unlike Rana Plaza, the building that crumbled last week, many factories are in compliance with safety standards.
"The whole nation should not be made to suffer," he said. "This industry is very important to us. Fourteen million families depend on this. It is a huge number of people who are dependent on this industry."
But Bangladesh's finance minister, Abul Maal Abdul Muhith, says he doesn't think the collapse of Rana Plaza is "really serious," or that foreign retailers will choose to pull out of the country.
"It's an accident, and the steps that we have taken in order to make sure that it doesn't happen, they are quite elaborate, and I believe that it will be appreciated by all," Muhith said, according to Al-Jazeera. "These are individual cases of ... accidents. It happens everywhere."
As the BBC reports:
"While some observers are calling this a wake-up call, others point to evidence that this is simply part of a pattern of tragic accidents after which little changes.
"A very similar building collapse in the same town seven years ago killed 64 garment workers. There have also been fires, stampedes and other incidents at various garment factories in Bangladesh, causing hundreds of deaths.
"Last year, more than 100 workers perished in a fire at Tazreen Fashions in Ashulia, a township near Dhaka."
As the BBC notes, the garment industry accounts for 80 percent of Bangladesh's annual export income and provides employment for 4 million people in the impoverished nation.
But it has also spawned corruption and a mafia-like atmosphere, says Jim Yardley, South Asia bureau chief at The New York Times.
Speaking with NPR's Morning Edition, Yardley says the building's owner, Mohammed Sohel Rana, was "feared" as a wealthy strongman who got his way.
"When the garment industry arrived, land values shot through the roof. So guys like [Rana] gobbled up land and built up a quick factory, and then factory owners lease your building, and you can make a lot of quick money," Yardley says.
Rana "controlled his own private militia," Yardley adds. "He muscled people out of the way to get the land to build this building. He typifies the sort of gangsterism that exists at the local level.
"So, I think that when the building collapsed, [ordinary Bangladeshis] were outraged. They were particularly outraged because there was a warning," he says, referring to a large crack that appeared in the building and caused people to rush out of the building the day before the collapse.
"There were reporters there, and they interviewed Rana — there's footage of him on television the night before the disaster and even the morning of saying it's just a superficial crack — it's no big deal," Yardley says.

Online casinos, as a concept, are not particularly new. Despite having been around for quite a decent period of time, very few people are actually making use of this particular option. slot It is necessary that you also think about this option, if you haven't done so already. Compared to traditional casinos, the amount of money that you can end up saving with online casinos is quite phenomenal. In fact, one of the other big advantages with these casinos would perhaps be the option to play free online slots. This is something that you are most probably sure of enjoying.
There are lots of things that you might perhaps expect from an online casino. But, when it comes to getting a truly unique solution, nothing can quite come close to free online slots. In any casino, one of the best things that you could perhaps spend on your time on would be the slots machine. However, you should also be sure that you would actually like the concept of online casinos. One of the best ways in which you can perhaps be sure that you are addressing these problems would be by going in for these slots based games.
There are other advantages as well to free online slots, besides the obvious one that it is free. You can go in for it when you have just a short period of free time and need something that could perhaps take your mind away from things for a moment. This is very important as you would need to perhaps get the break from your daily mundane activities. Nothing can really be as entertaining as this particular option for this purpose. You could perhaps look around, but it is very unlikely that you will be able to find something that is genuinely good and worthy of opting in for.
Finally, you should also know that free online slots are the option that you would perhaps think more about if you want something that is completely free and has no commitments required on your part. Much unlike some of the other options around, you might find that these slots are actually the ideal choice when you want to experience the casinos without actually driving all the way there. After all, online casinos didn't become an instant without proper help from the right places. This is perhaps the thing to keep in mind if you just need a simple, contract free source of entertainment.

Metropolis of Kythira
The Holy Metropolis of Kythira and Antikythera (Gr:Κύθηρα, Cythera, Kythera) is under the jurisdiction of the Church of Greece. The metropolis is located among a number of Ionian islands.
His Eminence Metropolitan Seraphim (Stergioulis) of Kythira (b. 1950, Vragiana, Karditsa) was enthroned as metropolitan of Kythera and AntiKythera on July 2, 2005.
Past ruling hierarchs
- Kyrillos II (Chrystakis) 1998 - 2005
- Iakovos (Korozis) 1980 - 1997
- Dorotheus (Kottaras) of Kythira and Antikythera 1922 - 1935 [1]
Panagia Myrtidiotissa
Panagia Myrtidiotissa (The Virgin of the Myrtle Tree) is the protectress of the Kythirians. The tradition of the Holy icon of Panagia Myrtidiotissa says that a shepherd saw in his sleep an angel. The angel was pointing to an area of Kythira where the shepherd would take his sheep to graze. In this vision with the angel, the shepherd saw the icon of the Virgin Mary lying amongst the myrtle bushes. The shepherd awoke from the vision and in the morning went to that location to find the icon. As in his vision, the icon was lying amongst the myrtles. The shepherd took the icon home with him only to find the next day that the icon was missing. When he went to look for it, he found the icon amongst the myrtle bushes again. In honour of this miracle, the shepherd built a small church to house the icon. This story occurred sometime in c. 1160.
Today, this little chapel remains as it was, however, a larger temple has been built above the church sometime in the 19th century. The temple is surrounded by many monastic cells and this monastery is the largest in the Metropolis. The monastery celebrates on September 24 and August 15.
Local saints
- Virgin-martyr St. Elesa of Kythira, d. 375 (August 1)
- Elessa was the daughter of "Helladios of Peloponnesus." She moved to Kythira because her father could not accept her christian faith. He followed her to the island and when he found her he killed her; today this is the location of the monastery. This all occurred in 375 AD. Her story is similar to that of St. Markella of Chios.
- St. Theodore of Koroni (Mani) (May 12, c. 922)
- Theodore was from Koroni (Mani) and came to the island from Monemvasia. He stayed in the abandoned chapel of Ss. Sergios and Vacchos for a year before dying c. 922. His relics were found on Kythira and in 1630 Bishop Athanasius (Valerianos) of Kythira founded a church in honour of this saint.
- Priest-martyr St. Myronos of Antikythira (August 17)
- St. Myronos was from a wealthy family who devoted his entire life to the priesthood and establishing the Christian church during the reign of the Dekios, c. 250 AD. He dies a martyric death.
Churches, monasteries, and chapels
The Metropolis of Kythira has a total of 30 churches, 300 chapels, 30 cemetery churches, and 4 monasteries.
- Church of St. Andrew, Livadi
- This is one of the most important churches belonging to the metropolis because of its complex architecture and historically important "Hagiografies" (wall murals) dating to the 12th and 13th centuries.
- Church of St. George on the Mountain
- This is a small church on the mountain between the Holy Monastery of the Hope of the Virgin Mary and the village of Avlemonas. In the area of this church, archaeologists have found a Minoan temple and various vessels and effigies.
- Church of St. Demetrios
- This church is a cluster of four smaller churches/chapels with a common internal area.
Male Monasteries
- The Holy Monastery of St. Theodore of Koroni (Mani), Aroniadika village.
- This monastery is founded over the small chapel dedicated to Ss. Sergios and Vacchos.
- The Holy Monastery of Hope of the Virgin Mary
- The Holy Monastery of the Hope of the Virgin Mary, known as "Agia Moni," was founded in 1840 by Kolokotronis and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary; the founder had promised to return to the island and assist in the construction if the Greek Revolution of 1821 was successful. The monastery celebrates August 6.
- The Holy Monastery of St. Elessa of Kythira
- The Holy Monastery of St. Elessa of Kythira is built over the spot where St. Elessa was martyred. The temple was built in 1871 and has few cells.

SWOT Analysis
SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.
Enhanced SWOT Analysis
Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:
- How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
- How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
- How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
- How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?
Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.
PESTEL Analysis
PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.
Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.
Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:
- Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations' impact on the business?
- Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence's degree?
- Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business's products and operations?
- Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
- Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
- Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?
IFE, EFE, IE Matrices
The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business's functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.
The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.
The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.
Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.
Porter Five Forces Analysis
The Porter's five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:
- What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
- Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
- What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
- How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
- How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?
VRIO Analysis
VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company's resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:
- Tangible resources
- Financial
- Physical
- Technological
- Organizational
- Intangible resources
- Human
- Innovation and Creativity
- Reputation
- Organizational capabilities
The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company's competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:
- Valuable?
- Rare?
- Costly to imitate?
- Organized properly?

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.
Running can be good for you but apparently, is bad for animals. People who like to run through the Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge were stunned by a new sign. According to the Statesman Journal, the signs at a trailhead there say: No Dogs, Horseback Riding and No Jogging. Hiking is apparently fine. Wildlife officials warn that running people can stress out the animals, and might even interfere with their breeding.

Your Local Fire and Water Damage Restoration Experts Can Help You in Your Time of Need
Fires and floods are the things of nightmares. Thankfully, your local fire and water restoration team will be there for you during every step of your recovery, from drying out soaked furniture to removing soot to remodeling your building.
No one ever thinks that fire or water could possibly ravage their home. It always seems like something that happens to someone else or an event that only would take place in a movie. In fact, even after it has happened, many people still feel as though they are in a movie, as if this horror couldn't possibly be happening.
Tragedies are hard enough to get through without having to worry about hiring many different professionals to help you get your life back on track. That's why your local damage restoration service professionals offer fire, water, and remodeling services–for your convenience and emotional ease.
Water damage
There are so many ways that water could enter your home. Through cracks in the basement walls, a burst pipe, a leaky roof, spray from putting out a list goes on. But in the end, water is water, and it can cause serious damages to your property and harbor unwanted visitors such as mold, mildew, and dangerous pathogens.
Your water damage restoration professionals will begin the process by first vacuuming all standing water from the premises. After it is determined which possessions and structures can be salvaged, the permanently damaged materials will be hauled away, and the drying process can begin. Using professional tools such as air scrubbers, air movers, and dehumidifiers, the restoration professional will make sure that all carpets, furniture, and other materials are completely dried. Then, the area will be disinfected and deodorized. If necessary, mold remediation processes can begin to quarantine any outbreaks of mold and prevent future occurrences.
Fire restoration
Fire restoration often involves many of the same initial steps as water damage restoration, as many times a copious amount of water was used by the firefighters in order to combat the blaze. After the premises are dried out and all unsalvageable areas are identified and removed, the fire restoration professional can begin removing ash, soot, and other fire byproducts. Then the remodeling can begin.
Your remodeling contractors can handle both interior and exterior remodeling and can make your home look as though tragedy had never struck. These professionals can:
Install replacement windows
Perform framing and drywall work
Install doors
Install flooring
Perform siding contractor work
Replace electrical components
And more!
Above all, your local water and fire damage restoration team with treat you with patience and compassion. After all, you've suffered unthinkable losses. It is time to grieve, and to rebuild. Your local restoration and remodeling team is here to help you.

"Twists and Turns"
Jasper National Park, Canada - Bright turquoise water weaves through Athabasca Canyon in Alberta.
Chromaluxe Metal Prints: These prints represent a new medium in photographic printing. Using a specialty process, we sublimate ink directly into a sheet of light reflective Chromaluxe aluminum. Due to the luminescence of the metal surface, the finished product has a brightness, vibrancy, and a clarity to it that cannot be rivaled with any other printing technique. Chromaluxe prints are so luminous, that they almost appear backlit. In addition to the striking finish, metal prints are guaranteed to last for a century without noticeable fading, are scratch resistant, waterproof, and all come with sleek aluminum hanging hardware on the back of the print for seamless hanging. The final piece will hang an inch and a half away from the wall. Chromaluxe prints represent the best quality prints in the industry and are the perfect modern art piece for any home.
Paper Prints: All of our paper prints are printed onto Kodak archival papers. This type of print requires matting and framing before it is ready to be hung.
Finishes: All of our paper prints come on Kodak Metallic fine art papers. Our Chromaluxe metal prints, however, come on two different finishes. Our recommended finish is on the high gloss Chromaluxe. The high gloss will have incredible contrast and depth, however it is prone to reflections if hung directly across from a window. Due to this, we also offer our Chromaluxe prints on a matte finish. The matte finish will have slightly less contrast that the high gloss, but will have zero reflections, and is recommended for areas where windows will cause reflections.

The Boy Scouts of America's National Council has voted to ease a long-standing ban and allow openly gay boys to be accepted as Scouts.
Of the local Scout leaders voting at their annual meeting in Texas, more than 60 percent supported the proposal.
Under the proposal drafted by the Scouts' governing board, gay adults will remain barred from serving as Scout leaders.
The outcome is unlikely to end a bitter debate over the Scouts' membership policy.
Some conservative churches that sponsor Scout units wanted to continue excluding gay youths, in some cases threatening to defect if the ban were lifted. More liberal Scout leaders — while supporting the proposal to accept gay youth — have made clear they want the ban on gay adults lifted as well.
