1* Then Tobit spoke and composed a song of joyful praise; he said:
Blessed be God who lives forever,
because his kingship lasts for all ages.a
2For he afflicts and shows mercy,
casts down to the depths of Hades,
brings up from the great abyss.
What is there that can snatch from his hand?b
3Give thanks to him, you Israelites, in the presence of the nations,
for though he has scattered you among them,
4even there recount his greatness.
Exalt him before every living being,
because he is your Lord, and he is your God,
our Father and God forever and ever!
5He will afflict you for your iniquities,
but will have mercy on all of you.
He will gather you from all the nations
among whom you have been scattered.c
6When you turn back to him with all your heart,
and with all your soul do what is right before him,
Then he will turn to you,
and will hide his face from you no longer.d
Now consider what he has done for you,
and give thanks with full voice.
Bless the Lord of righteousness,
and exalt the King of the ages.
In the land of my captivity I give thanks,
and declare his power and majesty to a sinful nation.
According to your heart do what is right before him:
perhaps there will be pardon for you.
7As for me, I exalt my God,
my soul exalts the King of heaven,
and rejoices all the days of my life.
Let all sing praise to his greatness,
8let all speak and give thanks in Jerusalem.
9Jerusalem, holy city,
he will afflict you for the works of your hands,*
but will again pity the children of the righteous.e
10Give thanks to the Lord with righteousness,
and bless the King of the ages,
so that your tabernacle may be rebuilt in you with joy.
May he gladden within you all who are captives;
may he cherish within you all who are distressed
for all generations to come.f
11A bright light will shine to the limits of the earth.
Many nations will come to you from afar,
And inhabitants of all the ends of the earth
to your holy name,
Bearing in their hands gifts for the King of heaven.
Generation after generation will offer joyful worship in you;
your name will be great forever and ever.g
12Cursed be all who despise you and revile you;
cursed be all who hate you and speak a harsh word against you;
cursed be all who destroy you
and pull down your walls,
And all who overthrow your towers
and set fire to your homes.
But blessed forever be all those who respect you.h
13Go, then, rejoice and exult over the children of the righteous,
for they will all be gathered together
and will bless the Lord of the ages.
14Happy are those who love you,
and happy are those who rejoice in your peace.
Happy too are all who grieve
over all your afflictions,
For they will rejoice over you
and behold all your joy forever.i
15My soul, bless the Lord, the great King;
16for Jerusalem will be rebuilt as his house forever.
Happy too will I be if a remnant of my offspring survives
to see your glory and to give thanks to the King of heaven!
The gates of Jerusalem will be built with sapphire and emerald,
and all your walls with precious stones.
The towers of Jerusalem will be built with gold,
and their battlements with purest gold.j
17The streets of Jerusalem will be paved
with rubies and stones of Ophir;
18The gates of Jerusalem will sing hymns of gladness,
and all its houses will cry out, Hallelujah!
Blessed be the God of Israel for all ages!
For in you the blessed will bless the holy name forever and ever.
* [13:1–18] Tobit's hymn of praise is divided into two parts. The first part (vv. 1–8) is a song of praise that echoes themes from the psalms; the second (vv. 9–18) is addressed to Jerusalem in the style of those prophets who spoke of a new and ideal Jerusalem (Is 60; cf. Rev 21). Joyful praise: words for joy and gladness occur throughout this prayer (vv. 1, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18).
* [13:9] Works of your hands: idols.

Just Because You're Not a Big Target, Doesn't Mean You're Safe
Not too long ago, the New York Times' website experienced a well-publicized attack, which raises the question – how can this happen to such a world-renowned corporation? If this can happen to the New York Times, what does this bode for the security of a small company's website? What's to stop someone from sending visitors of your site to an adult site or something equally offensive?
The short answer to that question is nothing. In the New York Times' attack, the attackers changed the newspaper's Domain Name System (DNS) records to send visitors to a Syrian website. The same type of thing can very well happen to your business website. For a clearer perspective, let's get into the specifics of the attack and explain what DNS is.
The perpetrators of the New York Times' attack targeted the site's Internet DNS records. To better understand this, know that computers communicate in numbers, whereas we speak in letters. In order for us to have an easy-to-remember destination like nytimes.com, the IP address must be converted to that particular URL through DNS.
Therefore, no matter how big or small a company's online presence is, every website is vulnerable to the same DNS hacking as the New York Times' site. The good news is the websites of smaller companies or organizations fly under the radar and rarely targeted. Larger targets like the New York Times, or LinkedIn, which was recently redirected to a domain sales page, are more likely targets.
For now…
There is no reason to panic and prioritize securing DNS over other things right now. But there is a belief that DNS vulnerability will be something cybercriminals pick on more often down the road.
Here are a few ways to stay safe
Select a Registrar with a Solid Reputation for Security
Chances are, you purchased your domain name through a reputable registrar like GoDaddy, Bluehost, 1&1, or Dreamhost. Obviously, you need to create a strong password for when you log into the registrar to manage your site's files. Nonetheless, recent DNS attacks are concerning because they're far more than the average password hack.
It was actually the security of the registrars themselves that was compromised in recent attacks. The attackers were basically able to change any DNS record in that registrar's directory. What's particularly frightening is the registrars attacked had solid reputations. The New York Times, along with sites like Twitter and the Huffington Post, is registered with Melbourne IT. LinkedIn, Craigslist and US Airways are registered with Network Solutions. Both had been believed to be secure.
So what else can be done?
Set Up a Registry Lock & Inquire About Other Optional Security
A registry lock makes it difficult for anyone to make even the most mundane changes to your registrar account without manual intervention by a staff registrar. This likely comes at an additional cost and not every domain registrar has it available.
Ask your registrar about registry locking and other additional security measures like two factor authentication, which requires another verifying factor in addition to your login and password, or IP address dependent logins, which limits access to your account from anywhere outside of one particular IP address.
While adding any of these extra safeguards will limit your ability to make easy account change or access your files from remote locations, it may be a worthwhile price to pay.

Listen online
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,
2 To Timothy, my dear son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.
4 Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy.
5 I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
8 So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God,
9 who has saved us and called us to a holy life–not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
10 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
11 And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher.
12 That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.
13 What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
14 Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you–guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
15 You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains.
17 On the contrary, when he was in Rome, he searched hard for me until he found me.
18 May the Lord grant that he will find mercy from the Lord on that day! You know very well in how many ways he helped me in Ephesus.

One touch, one spark, two lives forever changed.
Pine and Azure. The war between the two kingdoms lasted far too long. Peace was finally established, but the survivors would never forget who fought on the front lines. Oliver Sage had a reputation for being a ruthless knight. He'd seen enough death to last a lifetime and worked on putting the past behind him, although not all would let him forget.
Addison was the only daughter of King and Queen Azure. With three brothers, she knew she'd always be protected, but she also wanted to learn how to take care of herself. She was strong, had a good heart, and wanted to be treated as an equal. Magical abilities ran in her family, and she had one no one knew of.
Oliver had given his heart to one princess, until the night he dreamed of another. Addison was the last woman he should desire, especially given who she was. However, what if she wanted him as well? They'd hated each other their entire lives, but suddenly couldn't resist the desire which built between them. There were also those who didn't think they should be together. Forbidden romance could only stay hidden for so long in the dark depths of the Pine Forest.

"As a fan of MMA, I do get worked up for the
fights, but at the same time I have to be cool, calm, and collected, and
not treat it as if it's any different than any of my other fights." - Benson Henderson
No fight is easy. But fights with Benson Henderson are harder than most. The proof is right there on his record: 17 wins in 19 fights, four five rounders, and Fight of the Night awards in three of those four.
So when it comes to fighting the UFC lightweight champion, you had better put your hard hat on and pack a lunch because he's certainly going to do so. And he does so with no complaint, no declarations that he is going to finish a fight by any means necessary, or any other cliché designed to placate fans or the media. Henderson is showing up to work. If he can get out of there with his title belt intact after a 30 second knockout or submission, that's great; if not, he's ready to work his full shift and do what it takes to get his hand raised.
It's a work ethic to be admired, but not one that's very surprising considering the woman who taught it to him, his mother Song.
"Obviously I'm biased, but I think my mom's work ethic is one of the best I've seen in my entire life," said Henderson. "I definitely correlated that if you want anything in life, you have to work your butt off for it. My mom wanted my brother and I to have the cool clothes when we were in junior high and high school, and she would work an extra job for that because she wanted me and my brother to be happy. That was just a random example, but when she wanted a new car, and I saw her consciously making a point to work hard and save the money so she could buy the new Ford Explorer."
His mother's example imbedded in Henderson the value of hard work, and while his talent, athleticism, and drive are all admirable traits in his run to earning both the UFC and WEC championships, it's that willingness to outwork opponents and go that extra mile in the gym and the Octagon that may keep the belt around his waist for a long time. So there will be sweat and there will be blood, but usually there will also be Henderson with his hand raised.
But when asked about this work ethic, he doesn't stop at his mother. He is also quick to point to his high school and college wrestling coaches and his current MMA coach John Crouch as more people who have shaped him as a fighter and a man.
"My high school coach, Mike Bressler, had a big impact on my life," said Henderson. "My college coach, Steve Costanzo, his work ethic was off the charts. We (at Dana College in Nebraska) got laughed at, we were a joke in the NAIA, and the year he left, he left as a defending national champion, and set the all-time scoring record, and he did the same thing in Division II. And John Crouch – he's a band nerd. He did marching band in Colorado and he's like a 17-time national champion. And that's just from the great work ethic he has. And he's taken that same work ethic and applied it to jiu-jitsu and to being an MMA coach. So I've had a lot of good examples in my life of what a good work ethic does for you."
You may say that the 29-year-old Henderson has been lucky to have been surrounded by such positive role models as he grew up and matured into an adult. He would say that he's been blessed, and as he went from unknown to champion to contender to champion again, he's avoided the pitfalls so many young pro athletes have encountered as their tax bracket and notoriety changed. So while many run with an ever present entourage and fall prey to the trappings of fame and those looking to take advantage of certain situations, Henderson's circle is a tight one, extended only to his team, his girlfriend, family, and close friends.
"I try to put good people around myself," he said. "But putting good people around you and delegating, it really takes a team to have a world champion. Just like it takes a team of guys to have a Super Bowl championship team. It takes guys behind the scenes, general managers, equipment managers, assistant coaches, and it takes a team for any successful athlete, team, or person. I have a good team behind me, starting with my head coach, who is one of my best friends and a guy I started with, John Crouch. My girlfriend, Maria Magana, she does a lot for me, she always takes care of me and puts up with all my crap. All my training partners, Efrain Escudero, Joe Riggs, Chris Gruetzmacher, Victor and Yaotzin Meza. My manager Malki Kawa, my PR guy John Fuller, I just have a good team behind me who help me out and allow me to concentrate on what I need to concentrate on, which is fighting and winning."
It helps to have a good BS detector on at all times as well, but Henderson admits that his is "kinda 50-50," forcing him to lean on his team to help keep things running smoothly.
"I trust John Crouch and his judgment," said Henderson. "He has a pretty good BS detector as well, and I think in all relationships, you're gonna have ups and downs. It's all about overcoming and understanding those ups and downs. Sometimes your differences will be too much and you can't have a relationship, but for me, I'm a pretty laid back, relaxed guy. I think I have a pretty decent relationship with most people, and I can go with the flow. But I've been blessed most of my life. In my fighting career I've never had a serious injury, I've managed to stay healthy, I managed to have good people around me, and I think all that's because the Lord's blessed me each and every day of my life."
Have you noticed anything yet? A thousand words in and Benson Henderson has rarely discussed Benson Henderson. For one of the top fighters in the world to be this humble and so willing to deflect praise to others, it's a rarity to say the least. In fact the only fighter that comes to mind immediately as having the same attitude in giving publicity to his teammates is the man Henderson faces in the main event of UFC on FOX this Saturday, Nate Diaz. But for the champion, it's not such a big deal; it's just something that comes naturally to him.
"It's my personality," he said. "Most fighters thank their teammates and their coaches because they do so much for them, and they thank their wives or girlfriends. And I do the same thing. I'm not saying that I am any more blessed than other fighters, but the type of guy I am, I want to make sure I give credit where credit is due. I feel very strongly about my team, my guys, and my support staff, and my girlfriend, and I know without them I couldn't be doing this. So I'm very thankful and I want to make sure they get their props."
And given the arduous days and nights spent training for his second title defense against Diaz, Henderson expects to have a chance to give his team their props to a nationwide audience once again after Saturday night's bout. Yet despite the toothpick in his mouth, the laid-back style, and the suits at press conferences, he knows that when it's all said and done with the number one challenger to his throne, it's likely going to be another one of those knockdown, drag 'em out fights that have become his trademark. You won't hear that out of his mouth until it's all over though.
"As a fan of MMA, I do get worked up for the fights, but at the same time I have to be cool, calm, and collected, and not treat it as if it's any different than any of my other fights," he said with a chuckle. "Deep down, I can admit that this is an exciting matchup, and as a fan of MMA, looking back two or six months later, I'll look back and watch the fight and be like 'oh man, that was a really cool and exciting fight.'"
Either that, or just that it was a good night's work.

The event is separate from an anniversary concert planned at the site of the original festival in 1969.
Tickets for the three-day festival pushing the message of peace, love and music go on sale April 22, which is Earth Day.
Lang said though Woodstock took place 50 years ago, today's world and 1969 are somewhat parallel.
"It's kind of spooky how similar things are. How some of the things that we thought we'd gone past in the last 50 years — the racial divides, care for the environment and women's rights — now we have Black Lives Matter and the #MeToo movement and climate deniers and another (expletive) in the White House," Lang said. "So, it's very similar."
Lang made the announcement at a press conference at Jimi Hendrix's Electric Lady Studios in New York City alongside Common and John Fogerty, who performed at the original Woodstock. Both Fogerty and Common will perform this summer.
Fogerty, 73, recalled performing his set in 1969 after the Grateful Dead hit the stage. He said he took the stage after midnight and half of the audience was asleep.
"I was frustrated and I said something like, 'We hope you're having a good time out there. We're playing our hearts out for ya up here.' And I don't really see much moving. I see a light, somebody's lighter goes on in the darkness and somebody out there says, 'Don't worry about it John, we're with ya!' So I played the whole rest of my complete Woodstock concert for that guy," he said.
More than 80 artists, including David Crosby, Janelle Monae, Brandi Carlile, Country Joe McDonald, Halsey, the Lumineers, Portugal the Man and India.Arie, are expected to perform on three main stages at Watkins Glen International racetrack in the Finger Lakes for Woodstock 50. The original concert was held on a farm in Bethel, New York that is now run as an attraction by The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. The venue plans its own anniversary event Aug. 16-18.
Common, 47, said he is happy to represent hip-hop music at Woodstock 50 and be a part of a festival that not only focuses on music, but has a strong social and political presence.
"To be able to be connected to Woodstock in any shape, form or fashion for me is one of the greatest honors I've had as an artist, as human being (and) as a musician," the Grammy, Oscar and Emmy winner said. "There's so much going on right now (and) I think one of the best ways we can combat the ignorance, the divisiveness, the hatred is to go out there (and) push love and express love and practice love, and it definitely comes through, that love comes through at Woodstock."
"I'm not 50, but I'm grateful to be a part of this," Common said as the audience laughed.
More than 400,000 people attended the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, which was held Aug. 15-17, 1969.

Destruction of the Nations in the Land. 1a When the LORD, your God, brings you into the land which you are about to enter to possess, and removes many nations before you—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites,b seven nations more numerous and powerful than you— 2and when the LORD, your God, gives them over to you and you defeat them, you shall put them under the ban. Make no covenant with themc and do not be gracious to them. 3d You shall not intermarry with them, neither giving your daughters to their sons nor taking their daughters for your sons. 4For they would turn your sons from following me to serving other gods, and then the anger of the LORD would flare up against you and he would quickly destroy you.
5But this is how you must deal with them:e Tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, chop down their asherahs,* and destroy their idols by fire. 6For you are a people holy to the LORD, your God; the LORD, your God, has chosen you from all the peoples on the face of the earth to be a people specially his own.f 7It was not because you are more numerous than all the peoples that the LORD set his heart on you and chose you; for you are really the smallest of all peoples.g 8It was because the LORD loved you and because of his fidelity to the oath he had sworn to your ancestors, that the LORD brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.h 9i Know, then, that the LORD, your God, is God: the faithful God who keeps covenant mercy to the thousandth generation toward those who love him and keep his commandments,j 10but who repays with destruction those who hate him; he does not delay with those who hate him, but makes them pay for it. 11Therefore carefully observe the commandment, the statutes and the ordinances which I command you today.
Blessings of Obedience. 12k As your reward for heeding these ordinances and keeping them carefully, the LORD, your God, will keep with you the covenant mercy he promised on oath to your ancestors. 13He will love and bless and multiply you; he will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your soil, your grain and wine and oil, the young of your herds and the offspring of your flocks, in the land which he swore to your ancestors he would give you. 14You will be blessed above all peoples; no man or woman among you shall be childless nor shall your livestock be barren. 15The LORD will remove all sickness from you; he will not afflict you with any of the malignant diseases that you know from Egypt, but will leave them with all those who hate you.
16You shall consume all the peoples which the LORD, your God, is giving over to you. You are not to look on them with pity, nor serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you.l 17m If you say to yourselves, "These nations are more numerous than we. How can we dispossess them?" 18do not be afraid of them. Rather, remember clearly what the LORD, your God, did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt: 19the great testings which your own eyes have seen, the signs and wonders, the strong hand and outstretched arm with which the LORD, your God, brought you out. The same also will he do to all the peoples of whom you are now afraid. 20Moreover, the LORD, your God, will send hornets among them, until those who are left and those who are hiding from you are destroyed.n 21Therefore, do not be terrified by them, for the LORD, your God, who is in your midst, is a great and awesome God. 22He will remove these nations before you little by little. You cannot finish with them quickly, lest the wild beasts become too numerous for you.o 23The LORD, your God, will give them over to you and throw them into utter panic until they are destroyed.p 24He will deliver their kings into your power, that you may make their names perish from under the heavens. No one will be able to stand up against you,q till you have destroyed them. 25r The images of their gods you shall destroy by fire. Do not covet the silver or gold on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to the LORD, your God.s 26You shall not bring any abominable thing into your house, so as to be, like it, under the ban; loathe and abhor it utterly for it is under the ban.*
* [7:5] Sacred pillars…asherahs: cut or uncut stones and wooden poles or trees (cf. 16:21) that had some cultic function. Fairly common religious artifacts, their association with the non-Israelite cults of Canaan and perhaps with Canaanite gods and goddesses, specifically the goddess Asherah, led to their condemnation in the Deuteronomic reform and possibly earlier.

Medication Search - ratio-Sumatriptan
Common Name:
How does ratio-Sumatriptan work? What will it do for me?
Sumatriptan belongs to a class of medications known as 5-hydroxytryptamine agonists (also called "triptans"). It is used to treat migraine headaches with or without aura (warning signs that occur prior to the onset of a migraine). The pain of migraine headaches is thought to be caused by dilated blood vessels inside the head. Sumatriptan relieves migraine headaches by constricting these blood vessels.
Sumatriptan is not recommended for other types of headache or for headache prevention.
In most people, sumatriptan eliminates or reduces the symptoms of migraine, including headache, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Significant relief of migraine pain is usually experienced by about 10 to 15 minutes after using the injection, 15 minutes after using the nasal spray, and about 30 minutes after taking the oral tablets.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms.

Some people may experience side effects other than those listed. Check with your doctor if you notice any symptom that worries you while you are taking this medication.
Are there any other precautions or warnings for ratio-Sumatriptan?
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Allergy: If you are allergic to sulphonamides (sulfa medications) you may experience an allergic reaction to sumatriptan. Reactions range from a skin allergy to a serious allergic reaction. If you are allergic to other medications in this class (5-hydroxytryptamine agonists such as rizatriptan and naratriptan) you can also have an allergic reaction to sumatriptan. If you are allergic to any of these medications, you should not take sumatriptan unless advised to do so by your doctor.
Blood pressure: Sumatriptan may cause an increase in blood pressure. If you have severe or uncontrolled high blood pressure, do not take sumatriptan.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Drowsiness may occur as a result of taking this medication. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous tasks until you have determined how this medication affects you.
Heart disease: This medication may cause narrowing of the blood vessels that supply the heart. This can lead to chest pain, heart attacks, and other heart problems. For this reason, sumatriptan should not be used by people with heart or blood vessel disease. If you have certain risk factors for heart disease (e.g., high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, diabetes, family history of coronary artery disease, menopause, men over 40 years of age), tell your doctor. If you experience symptoms of a heart attack (e.g., pain, pressure, tightness, or heaviness in the chest, jaw, neck, or shoulder; sweating; or shortness of breath), get immediate medical attention.
Injection: The injectable form of sumatriptan should never be taken intravenously (into a vein).
Kidney function: The effect of reduced kidney function on how sumatriptan acts in the body has not been evaluated. Sumatriptan is not recommended for use if you have reduced kidney function.
Liver function: Liver disease or reduced liver function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have liver problems, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Your doctor may want to test your liver function regularly with blood tests while you are taking this medication.
If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.
A lower dose of sumatriptan may be needed for people with reduced liver function. However, sumatriptan is not recommended for use if you have severely reduced liver function.
Medication overuse headaches: As with other pain relief medications, overuse of sumatriptan may lead to medication overuse headaches, or "rebound headaches" where the headache returns as the medication wears off. Avoid taking more of this medication than is recommended by your doctor. If you experience more frequent headaches, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Seizures: There have been rare reports of seizures experienced by people taking this medication. Most of these people had a previous history of epilepsy or medical conditions that increase the risk of seizures. If you have a history of epilepsy or other condition that increases your risk for seizure, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Serotonin syndrome: People who use sumatriptan along with serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs; e.g., paroxetine, citalopram, fluoxetine), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs; e.g., venlafaxine), or other medications that act on serotonin, may experience serotonin syndrome. This syndrome is severe and can be life-threatening. If you are taking antidepressants, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
If you experience symptoms of serotonin syndrome (e.g., agitation, hallucinations, fast heartbeat, fever, increased reflexes, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) after using sumatriptan, get immediate medical attention.
Stroke and bleeding around the brain: Rarely, this medication may cause cerebrovascular events such as stroke and bleeding around the brain. If you have had a previous stroke or are at risk for it, talk to your doctor about the use of this medication. If you experience signs and symptoms of a stroke (e.g., sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body; sudden confusion or problems with speech; sudden vision problems in one or both eyes; sudden dizziness or loss of coordination; sudden severe headache, especially if it seems different from your usual headaches), get immediate medical attention.
Pregnancy: This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: This medication passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking sumatriptan, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children and adolescents: The safety and effectiveness of this medication have not been established for adolescents and children under 18 years of age.
Seniors: There is limited experience with the use of sumatriptan by people over 65 years of age. The use of this medication by seniors is not recommended.
What other drugs could interact with ratio-Sumatriptan?
There may be an interaction between sumatriptan and any of the following:

A group of gay men are claiming they were subject to unfair treatment at the Chico's Taco's restaurant chain in El Paso, Texas. Two of the men were kissing, and were told to leave by security guards.
The men reported this to local media:
"We went, sat down to eat our food and security guards came and said that if they kept doing that, they were going to throw us all out of the restaurant."The restaurant has responded to the media with "no comment" and the All American International Security team stands by their two guards, claiming the men were loud.
Carlos said he then asked them why? Their response, according to Carlos: "They said 'we didn't allow that gay stuff to go on here.'" (KVIA)
The two men proceeded to seek help from the police department who responded that:
"It was against the law for two males and two females to kiss in public, that they could cite us for homosexual activity." (KVIA)While the anti-gay law does remain on the books, it has been struck down in 2003 and no longer enforced. The police department maintains that the new officer misinterepreted the law.
Demand that Chico's Taco's and the AAIS apologize for this incident and implement a program to train their employees to respect diversity training inclusive of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Kentucky may be the site for tonight's debate between the vice presidential candidates, but the monster swing state of Ohio remains the focus of White House dreams for President Obama and Mitt Romney.
Both the incumbent and his challenger have been in and out of the state with increasing frequency; GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan plans a trip to the Buckeye State on Friday, after his tangle with Vice President Joe Biden.
And we'll be there tonight to watch the debate southwest of Columbus with the entrepreneurial, multigenerational Barnes farm family — grain, organic vegetables, honey bees, golf course — whose members' political views run the gamut.
It's in the Columbus area, particularly the "collar" counties that surround the big university town, where the Ohio race — and, quite possibly the national contest, too — will likely be decided, says John Green, director of the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron.
Those collar counties are more conservative than Columbus, but Obama made inroads there in 2008 with suburbanites more liberal on cultural issues and "not reflexively Republican," Green says. "They could decide the election."
Ohio is still a state that favors Obama, even after his roundly panned debate performance last week that has given Romney, the Republican, at least a small immediate boost in other key swing states.
The president had a more comfortable lead in the pre-debate polls in Ohio, when three surveys — including one by The Columbus Dispatch — had the Democrat leading Romney by up to 10 points.
An NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll released today has Obama ahead in Ohio 51-45 percent, where his supporters have dominated early voting, but down 2 percentage points from the group's previous poll. The Real Clear Politics over-time average gives the president a 1.6 percentage point edge over Romney in Ohio.
"Things have tightened up, and the debate has something to do with it," says Green. "But this is the way things tend to work in Ohio. ... We have these swings, but we also have periods where it's very even," he says, adding that sometimes it's simply due to who has most recently been campaigning in the state.
"It really reminds me of 2004," Green says, when an "incumbent with problems" — then it was President George W. Bush — won the state with 50 percent of the vote on his way to re-election.
No Republican, we are obligated to note, has won the White House without winning Ohio. Obama won here in 2008, with 51.5 percent of the vote.
On Thursday, a federal appeals court ruled that the state must countprovisional ballots cast in the wrong precinct because of poll worker error, a defeat for Ohio's Republican secretary of state.
Not A Sure Thing
The state's 7.2 percent unemployment rate, lower than the 7.8 percent national average, and Obama's support of government loans that shored up the auto industry — vital to Ohio's economy — are part of the reason he's hanging on to a lead.
That's not to suggest that the 2012 Ohio election story has been told.
Just look at a post-debate Bloomberg News Swing State poll released this week that showed Romney's support among married women in Ohio on the rise.
Before the Oct. 3 presidential debate, several polls suggested that Obama was not only continuing the Democrats' historic dominance with unmarried women, but also was cutting into Republicans' usual edge with married women. Women are the key to Obama's fortunes; polls show Romney running stronger with white men, with the president on course to win fewer votes from that demographic than he did four years ago.
"I think the debate clearly mattered," says J. Ann Selzer, the pollster who directed the telephone poll. Selzer's survey found that married Ohio women, a demographic dominated by white women, preferred Obama's stances on reproductive rights and also said he better understood their problems.
But the married women, particularly those not working a full-time job, were moving toward Romney because they said they viewed him as more capable of grappling with the nation's economic problems — even though by a 2-to-1 margin they said they supported the auto industry loans, and live in a state that is doing better than most economically.
What happened?
"What I would speculate," Selzer says, "is their support for Obama was soft, and that they're likely in a household with a husband who voted for [GOP presidential nominee] John McCain in 2008 and is for Romney now."
During the debate with Obama, Romney succeeded in laying out "some very simple promises: I won't raise the deficit; I won't raise taxes on the middle class," Selzer says.
While partisans can argue the consistency or veracity of the promises — and they are — the performance resonated. "It was forceful and simple," Selzer says, "and President Obama didn't counter with anything like it."
The timing of the debate has benefited Romney, too, she says, with two weeks between the first and the second presidential debate, scheduled for Tuesday.
Frenzied Weeks Ahead
The campaigns have upped their advertising buys in a presidential election that has already seen more than $110 million dumped into the state.
With 26 days before Election Day, Ward Weber II, 50, one of those Columbus-area Republicans who is liberal on social issues — "I'm a staunch Republican," he says, "but not an unreasonable one" — still sees the race breaking for Obama.
Unless, he says, Ohio's Republican Gov. John Kasich can make a strong case in these final weeks that the state's economic stability had as much or more to do with the governor's policies than with those of the president.
"Romney has to get Kasich out there, on television and other places; he has to hope that Paul Ryan has a good debate; and that he [Romney] can follow up with another debate winner next week," says Weber, a married father of two who works as a manufacturer's representative for a heating and cooling company. Romney was the candidate Weber — who voted for McCain in 2008 but for President Clinton in 1996 — preferred before the debate for economic reasons.
Both candidates still have work to do in Ohio — Obama with married women, and Romney with a base that includes Republican men who may have given their vote to the other side last time around.
"Each side is trying very hard to mobilize their base," says Green, of the University of Akron. "This now is not about persuasion, but about stimulating people to vote."

International Conference
GLOBALISM vs NATIONALISM
Podgorica, Montenegro – November 2-3, 2017
* The original meaning of nation from the Latin "nasci" implies racial homogeneity. |
Globalization, nationalism, and the relations between them have been the subjects of debate among scholars for many years. The world today has become very different from what it was previously, because of globalization. It is the struggle of nationalism against globalism, and it will be fought out, not only among nations, but within nations.
As the world becomes interdependent, the fate of one state is linked and attached to the fate of another state. Globalization is often associated with neo-liberalism, free flows of capitals, goods, services and workers. It has resulted in tremendous changes at the political and the cultural levels. It has lead to major wars attempting to integrate any country resisting integration into the New World Order defined by neoliberal globalization being a double-edged sword. However, not all views on globalization are positive and many consider it as a threat. It has been criticized for benefiting only some elites and undermining the lives of many others, for already devastating economic and social consequences on the majority of the world population, as well as producing mass immigration trying to redistribute poor people to rich countries and give them welfare.
The nationalism has a long history and it has always been something that people fight for. It is in itself an international ideology, which can be used to promote and defend a particular culture and way of life, and it is also used by politicians to promote national unity and patriotism. One variant of nationalism, economic nationalism (protectionism), in many ways harms the states that practice it. As a matter of fact, nationalism has had a great deal of difficulty surviving in this world, and some would argue that it has become less important. However, others argue that nationalism is benefiting from globalization and is becoming more important than ever. It seems that as peoples respond to corporate globaliza- tion, nationalism is being adapted. The driving forces of this are religion, language, ethnicity, philosophy, patriotism, xenophobia… Simply put, nationalism is identification with a country and a belief in the commonality of the values and people of that country. Its importance lies in the creation of modern societies and nation-states, and their role in a world in which interdependence has increased. Globalism, on the other hand, is identification with international integration and shared worldviews. Both concepts have an important position in the con- temporary world.
On a cultural level, the world has shifted from national cultures to mixed cultures across the globe, resulting in a homogenized global culture rather than national. The new forms of identification, across nationalism and globalism, suggest they may be generating paradoxically cosmopolitan modes of nationalism. This form of contemporary nationalism differs from ethno-nationalism, it also contrasts with civic nationalism, it is a form of nationalism that enlists universal values — such as democratic and human rights — in the service of nationally-defined political ends. What is defined as particular and universal depends very much on power relations, with cosmopolitans, especially in core states, blind to their own particularism.
The question you have to ask yourself is, do you want Globalization? One dictating power of the world. The goal of one religion and the loss of own individual rights. is is not some theory any more, it has become our reality. Is Nationalism just the rst step for ghting back against capitalism and globalization? Are we all going to live in a globalised, borderless world in which nation states have been abolished, or continue with a world that remains partitioned into separate states? Will it be Globalism or will it be Nationalism? We've reached the crossroads. Time has come to choose a side.
