Watch and Be Ready
It seems like seldom does a week go by when there is not some form of natural disaster affecting the lives of countless thousands of people somewhere in the world. It's happening so frequently nowadays that it seems we're getting used to such events and they don't seem to instill the same level of emotions or fear and concern, unless you're one of those who are directly affected.Read More »
The Coming Food Collapse
The most obvious factor controlling our food supply is climate. If it's too dry, the crops won't grow. If it's too cold, once again, the crops won't grow. There are many other conditions that will affect the quality and amount of food we can produce, but basic moisture and temperature are the two biggies.Read More »

What Did We Learn From 2017?
2017 brought a slew of natural disasters; fires, hurricanes, and earthquakes. They hit back-to-back, adding a feeling of unease to most of us. Even those of us who were perfectly prepared assessed our situation to see how we needed to adjust. Here is what we learned.Read More »
Combating Food Prices with Freeze-Dried Food Storage
If you're looking for a way to save money amid rising food prices, you might have to take matters in your own hands and find a food solution that fits within your budget. The sad truth of the matter is that food prices will continue to rise throughout this year. The biggest reason for this is the California drought, which has destroyed many crops and forced farmers to make hard decisions. Almonds, in particular, have taken a beating, but other California crops, like kiwis, raisins, grapes, olives, and pistachios, are expected to rise in price as well. One paleoclimatologist has called this year the driest one for California since 1580. Fruit tree damage in the Midwest and poor growing conditions elsewhere have also been blamed for rising prices.Read More »
What Can You Do to Protect Yourself from the MERS Virus?
On May 16th, the CDC reported the first instance of the MERS virus spreading from human to human in the United States. This wasn't the first reported incident of the MERS virus in the United States, but the first that was contracted from another patient. The newest case was an Illinois man who had previous contact with the first man, an Indiana man who had recently travelled to Saudi Arabia for work as a healthcare worker. Officials report that the virus spread from one to the other during a forty minute business meeting that took place before the Indiana man grew ill and become hospitalized. At the time of the writing of this article, the Illinois man appears to have recovered and is resting comfortably. Although this is fantastic news, it is frightening to imagine it happening to yourself or a loved one. The MERS virus is a very serious respiratory illness that originated two years ago in the Middle East. Health officials confirm that the virus originated from camels but aren't sure how it spread to humans. So far, the virus has inflicted 600 people. Of those 600, 175 people have died. That's nearly thirty percent. Symptoms of MERS include fever, cough and shortness of breath. It's in the same family of viruses as the cold and the more severe SARS virus. The reason for the high number of deaths is that there isn't a known cure for the virus. All of this is scary stuff, to be sure, so what can you do to protect you and your family from this oft-deadly virus? Although, there hasn't been an outbreak in the United States just yet, the potential is out there. We simply don't know enough about MERS yet to be sure. Therefore, it's up to you to prepare. This includes taking care of yourself to keep your immunity system strong, recognizing symptoms in people so you can avoid them, and readying your family for a possible extended stay indoors by stocking the right supplies. Daily Bread is your long-term food supplier, providing high quality food storage products to people in need of emergency food storage. Our food products offer the best value on the dollar, lasting 25 years. You will have peace of mind knowing that you will be ready if an outbreak does occur. In addition, the food tastes good too. Unlike other emergency food storage providers, we have real meats and cheeses. All of our freeze-dried lunch/dinner entrees can be prepared by just adding water.

Dead Horse Point 35 x 10
Click Image to Enlarge
This strangely named elevated plateau is at 5,900 feet, and is over 2,000 feet above the Colorado River; it got its name from an incident which is reputed to have occurred over 120 years ago; some wild mustangs were trapped on the plateau, it is thought that local cowboys may have corralled them there and either forgot or were unable to get back to release them. So during the winter they died. As with most legends there are a number of variations of the story, but this is where it got its name. It is located in an area rich with incredible scenery, but to get the best views, some hiking is necessary; this is made more difficult because of the elevation.

The U.S. Army's Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel program is responsible for dismantling former chemical agent production facilities and destroying recovered chemical materiel. In response to congressional requirements, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), in 2003, recommended new airborne exposure limits (AELs) to protect workforce and public health during operations to destroy this materiel. To assist in meeting these recommended limits, the U.S. Army asked the NRC for a review of its implementation plans for destruction of production facilities at the Newport Chemical Depot and the operation of two types of mobile destruction systems. This report presents the results of that review. It provides recommendations on analytical methods, on airborne containment monitoring, on operational procedures, on the applicability of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and on involvement of workers and the public in implementation of the new AELs.

My Chelation Natural Miracle For Protecting Your Heart Review
The very first point I want to make certain that Chelation Natural Miracle For definitely offers the greatest results.
Purchasing this book was one of the best decisions I have made, since it is worth every penny I invested on it. I highly recommend this to everyone out there.
Monitoring During Therapy
The need for evaluation of kidney function before instituting DMSA therapy is not absolute. Elderly persons, especially those with obvious health problems, should have a renal-function evaluation done. This can be done by ordering a BUN and creatinine study (blood test) before beginning chelation. Persons with known kidney disease should have DMSA administered only by a medical practitioner knowledgeable in the use of DMSA or other chelating drugs. One problem I see frequently among those who administer chelation therapy, even among well-known practitioners, is a failure to do follow-up studies on heavy metal levels, as well as levels of trace minerals. This is especially important when using EDTA, since it can chelate numerous necessary metals, in addition to the harmful ones.
Dr Christopher Calpai
Treating the condition is done via looking at a blood test for vitamins and minerals, looking to see what the person's diet consists of, what they do for work, where they work, what they're exposed to at work, their home environment, doing a 24-hour urine test with an intravenous chelation procedure, and testing for creatinine clearance (kidney function), as well as testing for heavy metals. The latest and best treatment is a combination of oral vitamins and minerals to maximize immune function, exercise, and intravenous EDTA chelation therapy to remove the metals. Vitamin C is also beneficial. Some people use intravenous vitamin C and alternate that with chelation. Chelation therapy is a treatment that has been around for many years. It involves using an intravenous application or induction of a protein substance that helps to bind heavy metals, to drag them and throw them out of the body through the urine. It takes about three hours to do. It also has been shown to produce...
Treating Mercury Toxicity
If your mercury is still elevated, repeat two more cycles, followed by a repeat in the toxic screen test. Continue this until your mercury levels are undetectable. Some suggest that chelation must be continued for several months or even a year in cases of obvious neurological problems. Instead, I recommend taking garlic extract at a dose of 600 mg three times a day for at least one year. You can take it permanently without experiencing any side effects. Garlic is also excellent for reducing atherosclerosis.
Mercury Exposure in Adulthood
Mercury's effects on the endocrine system can be significant, especially in cases of chronic exposure. The above study also found that women experiencing primary miscarriages (the first of a series of miscarriages) had lower progesterone levels, and higher mercury levels, following provocative chelation tests for mercury. Other studies have shown that mercury directly inhibits progesterone production in the ovary's granulosa cells, and has a profound effect on estradiol as well. Women with both primary and secondary miscarriages had higher mercury levels than did women who had never had miscarriages. Another study found that the incidence of luteal insufficiency (low progesterone) was significantly increased in women with ten or more amalgam fillings.63
Mechanisms of copper absorption
Copper uptake by the intestinal mucosa is strongly influenced by chelation of copper ions by amino acids. Chelation may even be a mandatory requirement for copper absorption.64 Yet, although dietary amino acids can enhance copper absorption, when present in excess they may result in copper malabsorption, possibly by competing with binding proteins on the enterocyte membrane. The ratio of chelate to metal may determine whether there is a net inhibition or promotion of copper uptake. In one human study, methionine supplementation was found to increase copper absorption.72 Animal studies have provided less straightforward results. One study of rats found that excess dietary methionine decreased indices of copper status.73 Jejunal copper uptake has been found to be decreased by high levels of dietary proline or histidine,74 while excessive cystine and cysteine have been shown to exacerbate the effects of dietary copper deficiency.75 Cysteine is thought to decrease copper bioavailability...
Behavioral and Neurological Effects of Mercury Exposure During Childhood
One report of two adolescents, aged thirteen and fifteen, who were unintentionally exposed to high levels of mercury vapor for three months, found that both suffered from a diffuse encephalopathy (brain dysfunction).57 When examined a year later, they had improved on psychiatric testing but continued to have defects in visual perception, construction skills, nonverbal memory, and conceptual abstractions. These symptoms persisted despite the removal of the mercury from the blood by chelation, demonstrating that actual destruction of widespread parts of the brain can occur, and that even during adolescence, the brain is more sensitive than an adult's.
Mercury in Vaccines a Brainless Idea From the Very Beginning
One problem in treating children, as well as adults, is that often we find either low or even undetectable levels of mercury on provocative testing of their urine, giving a false impression that the brain is free of mercury. I must admit that I fell into this trap early on. This may be because mercury in the nervous system is so difficult to remove that very little is chelated during a single test period. This would explain why autistic children improve with chelation even when their urine mercury levels are low. Hair mercury is also a poor measure of brain mercury levels in such cases, one must go by clinical responses.
Diabetes and Neurological Problems
Because of the continual increased production of free radicals and lipid peroxidation in diabetics, it is vital to increase the body's supply of glutathione. Oral glutathione is poorly absorbed and is better supplied by taking N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC). Alpha-lipoic acid also increases glutathione levels in cells, including brain cells. In addition, alpha-lipoic acid increases energy production and removes excess iron from the tissues (by chelation).
Determination of Inorganic Nitrogen
These determinations are considered to be chemical indexes of availability of nitrogen soil organic matter. The utility of chemical indexes depends on their correlation for a broad range of soils with biological criteria, such as crop yields, nitrogen accumulation in plants, and biological indexes (101). Inorganic nitrogen is determined in an extraction of soil with water or solutions of acids, bases, chelating agents, or salts at differing concentrations and temperatures (101). Severe extractants, such as moderately concentrated (4.5 to 6M) boiling mineral acids or bases, generally give nitrogen releases that correlate well with total soil nitrogen. However, total soil nitrogen as such is not a reliable index of nitrogen availability in soils. Also, release of nitrogen by moderate extraction procedures, such as alkaline permanganate, sodium carbonate, and molar solutions of mineral acids and bases, generally are poorly correlated with biological measurements (96,101). Relatively mild...
Food Use and Comments
Derived from seaweed or dried fish sodium guanylate is a byproduct Calcium disodium and disodium salt of EDTA employed in a variety of foods including soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, dressings, canned vegetables, margarine, pickles, sandwich spreads, and sausage Coloring foods in general, including dietary supplements
Watersoluble vitamins
Thiamin is unstable in alkaline solutions and becomes increasingly unstable as the pH increases. The stability of the vitamin in low pH solutions such as fortified fruit drinks is very good. In common with that of some other vitamins, the stability of thiamin is adversely affected by the presence of copper ions. This effect can be reduced by the addition of metal-chelating compounds such as calcium disodium ethylenediamine tetra-acetate (EDTA). The heavy metals only appear to influence thiamin stability when they are capable of forming complex anions with constituents of the medium. Work with sequestrants has shown that ethylenediamine tetra-acetate (EDTA) has a significant effect on the reduction of ascorbic acid oxidation, with the optimal level of EDTA required to inhibit the oxidation of vitamin C in blackcurrant juice being a mole ratio of EDTA to Cu + Fe of approximately 2.3.15,16 Unfortunately, EDTA is not a permitted sequestrant for fruit juices in many countries. The amino...
Structure and Composition of Membranes
Thus, in addition to the cell walls (Section 2.2.1) cell membranes are effective barriers to solutes of high molecular weight. Most synthetic chelators such as EDTA (see also Table 2.4) and microbial siderophores as specific chelators of iron (Section 16.5) are of high molecular weight and their rate of permeation is restricted through the
Connection to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Human studies of mercury's relation to ALS have not made the same strong connection. For example, in a fairly recent examination of fifty-three ALS patients using provocative testing with the mercury chelator DMSA, researchers found no difference between ALS patients and controls in either lead or mercury excretion.81 In truth, this still leaves us short of an answer, since some have suggested that those who are unable to excrete mercury on provocative testing may be at a greater risk of neurological disease than those who secrete greater amounts. We have already seen that the nervous system holds onto mercury much tighter than other tissues and organs, and there is some question as to the ability of even chelation drugs, such as DMSA, to remove mercury from the nervous system.
Treating Aluminum Toxicity
Like most metal toxicities, treatment demands careful attention to numerous factors, such as antioxidant supplementation, chelation, prevention of redistribution of aluminum from the blood to the brain during chelation, and the use of special nutrients to protect the brain during treatment.
Other Things to Remember
Two days before you have your fillings removed, I advise that you take DMSA to lower your tissue and blood levels as low as possible. This chelating medication powerfully binds mercury in your tissues and promotes its elimination in your urine. This should be supervised by a physician trained in the use of the drug. If this chelator is used, you will have to have a test to see that your kidney function is normal (usually a BUN and a creatinine). I emphasize once again all chelation should be supervised by a physician expert in the procedure. Following removal of your fillings, you will have to undergo a prolonged period of chelation using DMSA. I would also recommend continuing all of the supplements I mentioned above throughout your treatment. Because of the difficulty in removing mercury from the nervous system, intermittent treatment over a prolonged period of time will be required. I suggest four days of oral chelation followed by two weeks off. This can be repeated until urine...
Effects of Iron Deficiency on Immunity
T or (4 iron chelation) Although the production of macrophage migration inhibitory factor is reduced in iron-deficient adults (Joynson et al., 1972 Swarup-Mitra and Sinha, 1984), production of IL-1 is not, and macrophage cytotoxicity is only slightly reduced (Table 11.4 Bhaskaram et al., 1989). In vitro iron chelation by desfer-rioxamine led to reduced secretion of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-a by alveolar macrophages from both healthy non-smokers and smokers, which implies that iron deficiency may reduce the production of this pro-inflammatory cation to the plasma membrane in murine spleen lymphocytes and human T-cell lines are impaired by iron deficiency (Alcantara et al., 1991, 1994 Kuvibidila et al., 1991, 1999 Fig. 11.3). Furthermore, iron chelation reduces production of mRNA for protein kinase C (Alcantara et al., 1991, 1994). One early event in T-cell activation pathways that is also reduced by iron deprivation is the hydrolysis of cell-membrane...
Meat and micronutrients Iron in meat
The enhancing effect of meat on non-haem iron bioavailability is commonly referred to as the 'meat factor'. The exact mechanism by which the 'meat factor' works still remains unknown despite the fact that numerous efforts have concentrated on this topic. Research indicates that the mechanism of the 'meat factor' may not be due solely to a single factor but due to a number of contributing factors which work together promoting non-haem iron bioavailability. These factors include the release of cysteine-rich small molecular weight peptides during the proteolysis of meat the ability of these peptides to reduce ferric iron to the more soluble ferrous iron the chelation of soluble non-haem iron by these peptides and the ability of meat to promote gastric acid secretion and gastrin release better than other food components do (Mulvihill, 1996).
Mercury Exposure and Parkinsons Disease
In one case report, a female dentist, age forty-seven, developed Parkinson's disease within eighteen months of the onset of her first symptoms.99 Her baseline urinary mercury was 46 ug. With chelation using penicillamine, it increased to 79 ug and then continued to fall during the week of treatment. During the period of the treatment, she improved clinically and then stabilized. It was noted that this represented a new possible cause of Parkinson's disease in the absence of other signs of mercury poisoning. Penicillamine is not the best choice for chelating agents, especially for removal from the brain. In addition, the treatment period was too short and should have included a more complete program for mercury toxicity reduction.
Clearing the Body of Lead
One of the problems with chelating lead is that during early stages of treatment, blood levels can actually increase due to release of lead from bone. Care must be taken to remove this newly released lead quickly so that it isn't redistributed to another organ or the nervous system. Furthermore, removal of toxic metals, especially from the nervous system is not an easy matter. Very exacting methods are required for proper chelation of each metal. The most effective way to remove lead from the body is by DMSA chelation. Like mercury, DMS A binds very tightly to lead and allows the kidneys to flush it out into the urine, but the greatest difference between lead and mercury chelation is that mercury is not stored in the bone. An early consequence of lead chelation is the rebound effect, caused by lead leaving the bones once chelation has begun. With DMSA, after an initial drop, blood lead levels will rise and may be higher after chelation has begun than they were in the beginning. As a...
One of the first things I do is give them a trial of some vitamins and minerals by injection and often that will be very helpful. In addition, I have been using EDTA chelation therapy because by using disodium EDTA with magnesium, we find that we're able to reverse some of the aging processes by removing calcium from soft tissues, where it doesn't belong, and trying to get it back into the bone, where it does belong. The chelation process, which is an intravenous treatment, will help with soft tissue decalcification, in addition to removing heavy metals. There is some research relating aluminum toxicity Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Krapper McCloughlin has done some work in Canada, and we have been doing some work recently too, with patients who suffer from dementia, using another chelating agent called Dephoroximine or Desphoral, which is primarily useful in removing iron and aluminum--and not calcium--from the body. Usually, dementia is a one-way street people tend to get worse and...
Wilson's disease is a rare inherited disorder of copper storage (affecting 1 in 200000 people), in which biliary excretion of copper is impaired.12 This results in accumulation of copper in the liver and brain that can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and neurologic damage. If diagnosed early and treated with regular copper chelation (using penicil-lamine together with zinc), damage can be avoided.
As metal chelators, flavonoids show powerful effects against iron and copper, two of the most powerful generators of destructive free radicals, especially in the brain. In fact, it has been hypothesized that the free radicals generated by aluminum, mercury, and lead may be secondary to the fact that they trigger the release of iron from its storage molecule. If true, then flavonoids would play a dual role in protecting the nervous system from free-radical injury directly as antioxidants, and indirectly by chelating iron and copper. Direct chelation of mercury by flavonoids has not been examined.
Have a twenty-four-hour urine test for mercury excretion or a stool mercury test. This is done without chelation to see how much mercury is being released on a daily basis. Also, if the mercury levels are extremely high, provocative testing may go beyond the measuring capability of the test.
Phytic Acid
Negatively charged molecule which can bind ions of Ca, Mg, and Zn. By virtue of its ability to chelate iron, phytic acid is a potent inhibitor of iron-driven hydroxyl radical formation. Phytic acid also complexes with protein and starch molecules under physiological pH conditions, and hence may be regarded as an antinutrient. Nonetheless, recent evidences suggest that phytic acid has healthful properties. Reduction in glycemic response to starchy foods, as well as lowering of plasma cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels, have been observed with endogenous phytate consumed in foods. In addition, phytic acid has anticancer effects in the colon and mammary glands in rodent models and in various tumor cell lines (Rickard and Thompson, 1997). Furthermore, beneficial effects of phytic acid in relation to cardiovascular disease have been attributed to its hypocholesterolemic properties and chelation of metal ions that inhibits oxidation.
What to Drink
Another way red wine may reduce atherosclerosis is by the action of flavonoids, such as catechin, epicatechin, and quercetin, to bind free iron. In humans, drinking red wine, especially with bread, significantly inhibits iron absorption.371 This is an important property since as we age we absorb and retain more iron in our tissues, which leads to increased free-radical injury. In addition to iron chelation, quercetin which is also found in apples, onions, and tea has been shown to stimulate relaxation of the muscle layer (smooth muscle) in blood vessels, thus improving blood flow.372
Soil Tests
Results of soil analysis, sometimes called total analysis, in which soil mineral and organic matter are destroyed with strong mineral acids, heat, or other agents do not correlate well with crop responses (77). Generally, soil tests involve determination of a form of a plant nutrient with which a variation in amount is correlated with crop growth and yield. These forms of nutrients are commonly called available plant nutrients. The different forms of nutrients are extracted from the soil with some solvent. Many different methods of extraction of soil samples are being used for measurement of available nutrients in soils. Extractants are various combinations of water, acids, bases, salts, and chelating agents at different strengths. The extractants are designed to extract specific nutrients or are universal extractants (77-83). Much discussion has occurred as to whether one method of extraction is better than another. Morgan (77) noted that any chemical method of soil extraction is...
Immune assessment
In addition to assessment of relative percentages of T-cells, B-cells and NK cells, immunophenotyping for activation-antigen expression (e.g. CD69), coex-pression of critical molecules involved in cell-cell interaction (e.g. CD28), T-cell receptor (TCR) changes and percentages of naive and memory cells may be informative. Functional studies should be carried out on fresh anticoagulated blood whenever possible (or blood stored at room temperature in the dark for under 24 h) before mononuclear cells are isolated. When blood is being sent by air or transported to a distant laboratory, it is extremely important to include a control specimen drawn in parallel to serve as an internal standard for the shipping process. In addition, the type of tube chosen to draw the blood is important. Lithium heparin- or ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA)-containing tubes cannot be used for functional studies. Sodium heparin (preservative-free) or acid citrate dextrose (ACD) tubes should be used and...
D Antifungal agents
Unfortunately, relatively high levels of alumi-nosilicates must be used and these provide no other nutrients and may, in fact, act as chelating agents for some essential minerals. However, where aflatoxin contamination is common, then adding up to 15 kg aluminosilicates per tonne of feed may be necessary in order to minimize the effect of this mycotoxin.
Other Precautions
Outside of vascular considerations, and to improve your overall health, do not use fluoride toothpaste, fluoride mouthwashes, or have fluoride treatments by your dentist. Also, if you have dental amalgams ( silver fillings) or crowns with amalgam underneath, you should be tested for mercury, and undergo chelation therapy if necessary. Have amalgam fillings removed by a dentist trained in the approved removal methods (see appendix) and replaced with ceramic.

How Art Saved My Life! | Painting a MURAL at a Music Festival!
I'm here at the Seattle Center about to start a mural live painting for Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival I'm here on behalf of art saves me which is a part of one reel and it's basically a Organization that gives artists a platform all year round to be creative and tell their story through art so I'm super honored to be here and for them to ask me to make a mural and Design a print and show some of my art at this amazing Seattle music culture festival. I'm about to get started but to do the very first steps and paint the background Flat color and get my line art up on the wall and I'm really excited to start painting. So I'm gonna do that. I Forgot my tripod at home today, so there's just gonna be lots of handheld shots and low angle shots But I'm gonna get started on the mural Yeah doing the drop shadow first A few months back. I got an email from Marty over at one reel and he pitched me this super awesome Crazy project through a program called art saves me They wanted me to do a bunch of cool art for Bumbershoot music festival. They wanted me to design a limited edition silkscreen poster they want to meet a live paint a mural at Bumbershoot they wanted me to do a little mini art show and the gallery there They were gonna make artist trading cards for me which is all this cool stuff and it seemed like he really cared a lot about Supporting artists and making art a big part of the Bumbershoot music festival and I was like totally on board This has been such a cool project for me because there was a lot of creative freedom Got a little mini ten hundred show illustration show. This one's gonna be switched out for the print version of this guy later Some drawings and some prints Usually I work with big clients and have like their own goals in mind and they're like we want to Show this we wanted to pick that and Marty was a pretty chill, dude Like he I just sent him what I wanted to do and he seemed to be on board with it the whole way So this is kind of a dream gig. Mr. Casey. Weldon is here to help me. He loves being on camera, too Now we're cooking with fire also being able to live paint in front of thousands and thousands of people and see their faces light up as I'm creating this really bright colorful piece of artwork was like such a rewarding experience for me so often and I'm like painting by myself in a empty corporate office building that's like under Construction because those are the folks who can afford really big crazy art projects. So this is just like super fun I had a great time. My neural was set up really close to the Fisher Greene stage So I was able to listen to like really awesome music the whole time. It was rad We are outside of Bumbershoot stuck outside waiting for artist passes Just about start the mural on the first official day of Bumbershoot It's gonna be a fun one. Hopefully I can get a lot of work done and also meet a lot of cool people Just waiting trying to get a hold of our contact so that we can get in All right, it's day one of Bumbershoot did some fill in colors yesterday with the help of my friend Casey Weldon Which is super awesome did the prep work and now it's time to start painting for the festival It's the quiet before the storm right now. The gates are gonna open I think in about an hour I'm just gonna kind of get set up here and Do a little bit more painting while I still quiet. This is gonna be fun. Thank you so much One real Thank You art saves me. It does save me hard saved my life And hopefully the people like this mural so I'm gonna get started The message of art saves me really hits close to home and it means a lot to me about seven years ago I was I was pretty much a hardcore drug addict and alcoholic and I was using really heavy Substances on a daily basis it got to the point where everything was spinning out of control so hard that I just had to call My dad and say dad. I got it. I gotta come home. I'm a drug addict. I went home to Michigan for nine months and Got my life back in order and while I was there, I really started making art again it was a really great way for me to channel all of my Addictive energy into something positive, you know, cuz that stuff doesn't go away It's still inside of you and I became addicted to making art and I would post it online and to my surprise people would like wanna buy it and everything just kind of naturally progressed from there and I think that art really can kind of fulfill a lot of those Addictive behaviors because you seclude yourself and you do repetitive things over and over again And those are all things that drug addicts love so as soon as I found an avenue to channel this energy Into that's a positive thing instead of a negative thing. That's when things really started to turn around for me So the message of art saves me is really something that I find to be true and means a lot to me So it was really cool and it really made a lot of sense to me to take part in this project Because our did save me I think if you're struggling with any of the kind of issues that I struggled with definitely let some people know and seek out help and Use art as a form of therapy If you like art or find that thing that you love that you can become addicted to something that's positive Instead of something that destroys and something that's negative Alright, it is the start of Saturday day two of Bumbershoot got a lot of good work done yesterday Super-fun talked to a bunch of people now. I'm gonna be Starting on on the rest of it and just trying to knock out as much as I can and hopefully get to the finishing details On Sunday, I think it's gonna be a lot more popin' here today yesterday was Friday people maybe had work, but Saturday It's usually like the popin' day, so gonna have some fun hopefully meet some people talk about my art a little bit make some art and Just enjoy the wonderful sounds of the Fisher green stage I'm about a hundred feet from the second to largest stage. It was great music all day yesterday I brought these headphones but I don't even know why because I've just been listening to the awesome sounds of Bumbershoot So I'm gonna get started the gates are not open yet. It's kind of a ghost town in here So it's a good time to do some some prepper preparatory work coming along nicely. You see how far we can get today? ebay yes available now on ebay yes This concept for the art, I just wanted to do this like Collision of well as a collision of characters when you look at it It's it's two characters just in a midair weightless kind of explosion of creativity And that's what inspiration and being an artist is all about sometimes you just feel like there's this explosion in your brain of energy, or at least I do and I just get like so excited and I'm completely compelled to put a brush to a canvas or a pencil to a paper and make something maybe this, this piece of art is Trying to visually represent that experience of being an excited artist That's what keeps me coming back to to making art over and over and over again. It's just is that feeling right there I think that's kind of what I wanted to show on this mural. Bumbershoot is awesome. The Absolute best thing about doing these kind of gigs is the people meeting so many people hearing their comments and questions and compliments about the art that I'm creating It's so fun to be able to use my art to connect with people and communicate with people End of Saturday and I'm feeling good, starting to look good "I'm going to get some B roll footage out here" Daniel is going to get some B roll footage So, yeah, I'm gonna pack my stuff up and listen to some music It's Sunday it's the last day it's been an amazing music festival here at Bumbershoot Thank you so much to One Reel with their art saves new program for reaching out to me asking me to do this super cool project and for supporting artists and for making art a focal point of this festival made some good progress and Just gonna be finishing up today.

By Imran Khan (10:58)
Patna, June 23 A labourer, a landless farmer, a mechanic, a small shopkeeper and a driver are among the proud parents of children who cracked the highly-competitive IIT-JEE exam this year, thanks to a free coaching centre for underprivileged students in Bihar.
This year, 28 of the 30 students from Bihar's Super 30 free coaching centre cracked the Indian Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE). The results were announced Friday.
One of the students from Super 30 who cracked the exam, Bhanu Pratap, is the son of Rampyare Pratap, a poor labourer from Uttar Pradesh. "You have shown us the day we had not even dreamt of. We shall always be obliged to you," Geeta Devi, Bhanu Prataps's mother, told Anand Kumar, who runs the free coaching centre.
Pranav Kumar from Samastipur district in Bihar is the son of a landless farmer, Pankaj Kumar. Pranav studied in a government school. On cracking the exam, he said that Anand Kumar "not only taught us but gave us the confidence to excel even in the face of odds".
When Ankit Kumar from Vaishali district in Bihar lost his father, a lineman in the telephone department, in a road accident last year, his life seemed to come to a standstill. His jobless mother could not afford to educate him.
"I came to know of Super 30 and cleared its screening test. Here, I seemed to have found my new father," he said.
Shivangi Gupta, daughter of magazine vendor in Deha, 50 km from Kanpur, saw acute hardship from her childhood as her father Viresh Chandra Gupta struggled to make both ends meet.
"I was provided all help and stayed in Anand Kumar's and finally cracked my dream exam," Shivangi said.
Another student who cracked the IIT-JEE exam after being tutored at Super 30 is Abhishek Kumar. His father, Ghanshyam, is a mechanic. Abhishek wants to become an electrical engineer, a trait that runs in his genes.
Farhad and Yasmeen Shafi's son Hanjala has also made it through the IIT-JEE. Hanjala's parents have a small shop in Patna. They somehow scraped together money to pay his school fees. "Today my son is set to go to IIT," said a proud Yasmeen.
Santosh Kumar's father Sanjeev Mallik from Madhubani is worried how he will pay his son's IIT fees, but he has faith in god to see them through. "I don't have the money to buy him new clothes and books. But when god has brought him this far, he will take care of his future also. I am a driver and don't even know what IIT is," Mallik said.
A proud Afsar Nath Mishra, a Sanskrit teacher and priest from Banka, is proud that his daughter Preeti Kumari will be an engineer. "She will be our support when we are old," Mishra said.
Super 30 is an innovative school run by Anand Kumar since 2002. He selects 30 students from poor families and grooms them for the IIT. He provides them with free board and lodging, paying for everything from his own pocket.

Hair Vitamins
Vitamins are essential for maintaining the health of your hair. Most of the people face the problem of hair loss now a day and most of them are running around the commercial products available in the market. The real reason for the loss of hair is the loss of your hair vitamins. You can get these vitamins through your diet and also through the natural and pure hair care products. Vitamins and minerals produce healthy hair follicles which in turn produce healthy, strong and shiny hairs.
Vitamins for Hair Growth
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is essential for maintaining the moisture level of the hair and thus helps in normal hair growth. This will also increase the blood circulation to the scalp and keeps the scalp healthy. Being a powerful antioxidant vitamin E, protects the hair and scalp from many diseases and infection. Vitamin E also keeps the integrity of the hair follicle cell membrane. Vitamin E is obtained from vegetable oils, green leafy vegetable, nuts, cereals etc.
Vitamin B complex
Vitamin B1, B2, B3 and B5 are found to be ideal for nourishing the hair follicle. Vitamin B3, B5, B6 and B12 are also known as vitamins for controlling hair loss. Vitamin B3 which is called as niacin can promote blood circulation to the scalp while vitamin B5 inhibits premature hair graying. Vitamin B9 promotes growth of hair follicle. You will get vitamin B from soybeans, fish, chicken etc.
Biotin which is otherwise called vitamin H belongs to vitamin B complex and is essential for controlling the hair loss. It also supports the hair follicle and strengthens the hair. It also improves the texture of the hair.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C aids in maintaining healthy hair by keeping the good collagen in hair. Thus it prevents the splitting and breaking of hair. Citrus fruits, pineapple, strawberry, tomatoes etc will be rich in vitamin C
Vitamin A
Vitamin A along with zinc and silica will prevent the clogs in the sebaceous gland and also prevents the drying of sebaceous gland. Thus vitamin A helps in lubricating the hair follicle.
Try to have a diet rich in these vitamins and maintain your hair.

The admission process to B-schools occur twice in a year i.e. Fall (August- September) & Spring (December- January) for MBA program. Hence, the most important thing that strikes you is "How long does it take to get back the GMAT score card?"
One thing you should take into account, order Scorecard for the specific program you want to pursue. You can select the courses from the database of the official GMAT website.
Here, we have collected several questions that are frequently asked by the GMAT aspirant.
|Also Read: Validity of the GMAT Score
How Long Does it Take to Get a GMAT Score?
You'll get the unofficial GMAT score the moment you finish the test. This unofficial score contains the sum total scores of Quant and Verbal, out of 800. This score does not include your Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) score.
To get the official GMAT score, you have to wait for approximately 20 days from the date you have appeared for the test or in 3-4 weeks. The official score contains the total score of AWA, Quant, and Verbal. Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), the regulating body of GMAT test, sends the score card to the students either through postal services or electronically on the home/ email address provided by the aspirants. There is no additional charge levied for getting the GMAT score card; the fee is included in the registration fee itself.
Even the students can rely on the unofficial scores because there is hardly any difference in the score between the official and unofficial scorecard for GMAT.
How Long Does it Take for Schools to Get the GMAT score?
After completion of the test, your GMAT unofficial appears on the window, and you can directly send your GMAT scores to your selected top five B-schools. The service charge of sending the GMAT scores to the B-school are already paid by the applicants at the time of registration. If you want to send your GMAT scores to more than those selected five b-schools, you're supposed to pay an additional charge of USD28 for each score card.
What if You Canceled GMAT Score?
If you found your performance not up to your expectations and you feel you can score more, then GMAC gives you the option to cancel your score. Remember, the B-schools will then not be able to receive your scores.
BYJU'S will be glad to help you in your GMAT preparation journey. You can ask for any assistance related to GMAT and MBA from us by calling us at +918884544444. You can write to us at email@example.com.

Discs! What are they good for? Well, they're nice if you don't want to be tied to an online-only ecosystem. But if you don't mind that, Microsoft's latest Xbox One S "All-Digital Edition" might be for you. With no slots to speak of, the console is limited to downloading games to its drive — which is how we've been doing it on PC for quite some time.
Announced during today's "Inside Xbox" video presentation, the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition — honestly, why not just give it a different letter? — is identical to the existing One S except for, of course, not having a disc slot in the front.
The impact of the news was lessened somewhat by Sony's strategically timed tease of its next-generation console, revealing little — but enough to get gamers talking on a day Microsoft would have preferred was about its game ecosystem. But to return to the disc-free Xbox.
The CPU and GPU are the same, RAM is the same, everything is the same. Even, unfortunately, the hard drive: a single lonely terabyte (imagine saying that a few years ago) that could fill up fast if every game has to be downloaded in full rather than loaded from disc.
It's also the exact same shape and size as the S, which seems like a missed opportunity — they couldn't make it a little smaller or thinner after taking out the whole Blu-ray assembly? Well, at least the original is a nice-looking little box to begin with. ("Changes that affect the form of a console can be complex and costly," said Gattis.)
At $249 it's $50 cheaper than the disc-using edition, and comes with copies of Sea of Thieves, Minecraft and Forza Horizon 3. That's a pretty decent value, I'd say. If you're looking to break into the Xbox ecosystem and don't want to clutter your place with a bunch of discs and cases, this is a nice option. Sea of Thieves had kind of a weak start but has grown quite a bit, FH3 is supposed to be solid and Minecraft is of course Minecraft.
You may also want to spring for the new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate service, which combines Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass — meaning you get the usual online benefits as well as access to the growing Game Pass library. There's enough there now that, with the games you get in the box, you shouldn't have to buy much of anything until whatever Microsoft announces at E3 comes out. (There's even a special offer for three months of Game Pass for a buck to get you started.)
You can pre-order the All-Digital Edition (which really should have been called the Xbox One D) now, and it should ship and be available at retailers starting May 7.

Following the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Bill (POFMA) which was proposed in the Parliament of Singapore on 1 April 2019, current and former media practitioners sent a statement to all Members of Parliament, highlighting their concerns that hopefully will be addressed in a more informed debate next month.
Their concerns are that the POFMA would infringe freedom of expression as it does not sufficiently account for the distinctive nuances that lie between facts, opinions and outright disinformation; render the government a reactive player in the fight against disinformation, rather than a proactive and engaged partner of media outlets; and grant the government unchecked powers that can be abused by this government or the next.
If the POFMA was left to proceed along these lines, they contended that it will cause immediate and long-term harm to freedom of expression, impede the development of an engaged and thinking public, and erode trust in the government. Hence, the statement outlines their justifications for these concerns.
Some of the directions they recommended for the MPs to consider revolve around two main thrusts. Firstly, they suggested a refinement of existing laws for the government to treat media entities as valuable partners, rather than as the problem in the fight against disinformation. This is in light of the POFMA's original intent which is to foster racial and religious harmony and secure electoral integrity, rather than as a law that permits executive overreach of power.
Secondly, excessive executive power should be removed from the law to stipulate conditions that encourage the government to better engage media outlets in a timely fashion, in the case that the POFMA is enacted. They also reiterate the formation of an independent body to decide on falsehoods, a proposal that many media practitioners and outlets have recommended.
The following is the aforementioned statement.
Statement by current and former media practitioners on the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Bill
We are deeply disappointed with the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Bill (POFMA), tabled in the Parliament of Singapore on 1 April 2019. Our objections to the Bill are based on three main concerns:
1. The excessive infringement on freedom of expression, which will impact the work of media practitioners;
2. The government's inability to appreciate the digital news industry and to work with media practitioners to combat disinformation; and
3. The increasing lack of government accountability to citizens.
These concerns have been expressed by various media practitioners, academia and civil society groups since the Bill was first made public, but were barely addressed by the Law Ministry since, or did not adequately address the concerns raised by these individuals and were quickly rebutted.1
We also recommend some directions that we would like our Parliamentarians to consider when debating POFMA.
Concern 1: POFMA as an affront to freedom of expression
The Singapore government, particularly through its representatives in the Law Ministry, have persistently declared that the protection against disinformation was meant to enable free speech2. Both the Minister and the Senior Minister of State for Law have repeatedly claimed that the Bill was meant to govern "statements of fact", not opinions. However, from our own varied experiences, serious opinion writers who wish to better inform their readers about government policies would draw on contradictory facts and figures and the opinions of other stakeholders to support their analysis. These articles would be a combination of facts and viewpoints, diverse by nature, to add weight to the analysis. Yet, the Bill gives little clarity on how these opinion pieces, despite the diligence given to the analysis, can completely avoid running afoul of POFMA.
This is exacerbated by the vague definition of falsehood in the Bill – "a statement is false if it is false or misleading, whether wholly or in part, and whether on its own or in the context in which it appears" (Part 1, Clause 2(2)(b) of the Bill). In such a definition, would a news report that uses facts from the government, but accurately replicates a view made by a newsmaker who disputes those facts, also be liable?3 Such ambiguity in the Bill makes it extremely hazardous for journalists to practice their craft in an environment where the Singapore government has demonstrated a low tolerance for even the slightest hint that it made a mistake.
Despite reassurances from the government that the Directions provided for under the Bill have minimal impact on online content4, the government retains the ultimate authority to close down any news website if its journalists fail to comply with its Directions. Such Directions must also be complied with even as news outlets seek to challenge them. This means news outfits would likely choose to preemptively self-censor or comply with Directions without further thought, to avoid more severe legal ramifications such as the curtailment of funding or imprisonment.
We state that POFMA, as it stands in the current Bill, promotes a "carpet bombing" mentality in the fight against disinformation, paying no heed to the distinctive nuances that lie between facts, opinions and outright disinformation. This approach is detrimental to the development of positive journalistic practices and to the development of a thinking public.
Concern 2: POFMA as a stumbling block for how the government should respond to media
The Minister and the Minister of State for Law have assured that the courts are the "final arbiters of truth"5 and that this arbitration would be cheap and uncomplicated6. However, it is undoubted that Ministers have the privilege to decide first what constitutes falsehoods7. To overturn this decision, an aggrieved news outlet will have to endure a lengthy process of appealing to the same Minister to revoke the Direction, failing which it can then take the same Ministry to court to resolve the issue. For a news organisation chasing a story of public interest, where timeliness is everything, this process is no different from killing the story.
Indeed, we are surprised that the government has not considered Recommendation 9 by the Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods, which states that "public institutions should, wherever possible, provide information to the public in response to online falsehoods in a timely manner". Rather than reach for cease-and-desist Directions as a first option, the government should instead consider implementing processes for responding to media queries promptly.
Providing journalists with answers to their queries give them no cause to publish falsehoods or risk doing so at a cost to their own reputation. It would also demonstrate a willingness on the part of the government to take responsibility for quelling disinformation early. This can be done by putting into legislation a timeframe for government departments to respond to media queries, beyond which what the news outfit publishes cannot be declared "false". Indeed, the Minister of State for Law has claimed that demonstrating the truthfulness of a statement was not difficult8. It then stands to reason that a government with infinitely more resources than online media practitioners should not find it too difficult to prove a falsehood.
We state that POFMA, as it stands in the current Bill, essentially makes the government a reactive player in the fight against disinformation, rather than a proactive and engaged partner of serious media outlets. This approach leads to a public that will be increasingly distrustful towards both the government and media outlets.
Concern 3: POFMA as the tipping point for poor government accountability
The greatest public discomfort with POFMA must certainly be the expansive powers granted the executive to act against what the government, and only the government, decides to be falsehoods. This executive overreach is most prominently seen in the sixth condition of falsehoods – that which "diminishes public confidence in the performance of any duty or function of, or in the exercise of any power by, the Government, an Organ of State, a statutory board, or a part of the Government, Organ of State, or a statutory board" (Part 2, Clause 7(1)(b)(vi) of the Bill).9
This sixth condition does not reflect the publicly announced ambit of the Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods, nor what the Committee had affirmed was its focus throughout the public hearings – that of combating disinformation to maintain racial and religious harmony and election integrity in Singapore. This condition grants each Ministry the right to declare as false any material online that opposes its position, silencing meaningful public debate on policy issues and increasing the chances for political abuse that the Law Minister could not guarantee against.10 This is fundamentally unhealthy to our democracy and to public trust in the government and amounts to passing a dangerous law that a rogue government can abuse to clamp down on anything it finds unfavourable.
The Law Minister has also rejected calls for setting up an independent body to decide on cases of disinformation – an idea recommended by mainstream media, civil society and many individuals who participated in the Select Committee hearings11 – with the reason that the government is ultimately responsible. However, while the government has a responsibility, it is not the only one who is responsible12. Media practitioners and civil society all have a vested interest in ensuring a healthy media and information ecosystem. The government cannot play goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, striker and referee all at once.
We state that POFMA, as it stands in the current Bill, connotes a worrying trend of a government that is eager to implement laws that over-extend its reach into civic discourse and grants it unchecked powers that can be abused by this government or the next. This is patently unhealthy for public trust in the government, rendering any progress POFMA might make in securing free and fair elections nought.
In view of the problems identified above, we make the following recommendations to the Singapore government and to Parliamentarians debating on POFMA, and request that Parliamentarians follow these general directions in their deliberations and debate:
- To reconsider POFMA in light of the original purpose of Singapore's fight against disinformation, which was to maintain racial and religious harmony and the integrity of our elections. These issues have a much narrower scope than "online falsehoods", and there is a need for the government to craft laws that address these issues surgically.
- To consider amending relevant laws, such as the Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act and Election Acts, to better accommodate the repulsion of disinformation. This would allow for the refinement of laws to specifically cater to the nuances of disinformation related to these situations, and also grant the government more legitimacy in using targeted tools.
- To consider all media entities, mainstream and online, as valuable partners in the fight against disinformation, rather than as the problem. Doing so affirms the government's sincerity in enhancing freedom of expression and developing a more engaged public.
- Should it be decided that POFMA proceeds:
a. To remove the sixth condition and all related clauses that grant the government
excessive jurisdiction over the definition and persecution of perceived falsehoods. State legitimacy is not attained by force of laws, but in demonstrating a willingness to share power with those the government serves.
b. To stipulate in the law conditions for the government to respond in a timely fashion – as befitting the urgency of debunking falsehoods, such as the response times prescribed in the current Directions – to substantive efforts by media practitioners to clarify information, failing which the government cannot declare a statement false.
c. To consider the formation of an independent body comprising government representatives, community leaders, civil society groups, mainstream and online media practitioners and legal professionals, to serve as the deciders of disinformation, whose decisions would be arbitrated by the courts before any corrective actions are to be taken against said disinformation.

1. Recurrent challenges to POFMA include uncertainty over how the laws would be used and the very real possibility of its misuse to silence dissent (https://mothership.sg/2019/04/online-falsehoods-cherian-george/); the lack of clarity in the letter of the law that offers no guarantee for the protection of free expression (https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/some-scholars-want-academic-protection- reflected-in-fake-news-bill); and a general ambiguity over what constitutes an opinion versus a statement of fact (http://theindependent.sg/filmmaker-asks-ministers-to-clarify-exactly-what-constitutes-an-online-falsehood/). The government's assurance that legal aid would be provided to those who challenge the government on POFMA executions were also called into doubt (https://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2019/04/08/lawyer-questions-the-feasibility-of-using-legal-aid-to-appeal-fake-news-directives/).
2. This view has been made public by Minister for Law K Shanmugam (https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/regulating- online-falsehoods-is-new-area-for-singapore-11400908) and Senior Minister of State for Law Edwin Tong (https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/new-falsehoods-law-chilling-effect-edwin-tong-11408816).
3. This was the situation faced by The Online Citizen, when it was sued by the Ministry of Defence under the Protection from Harassment Act for its interview with Dr Ting Choon Ming in January 2015 (https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/mindef-patent-case- dr-ting-choon-meng-and-toc-website-made-false-claims). The case was only resolved two years later after the High Court ruled that Mindef has overstepped the permissible usage of POHA (https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/court-rejects-govt-s- appeal-to-invoke-anti-harassment-law-agains-7562884).
4. The Law Minister has insisted that "99 percent of people don't have to worry about what they do, 99 percent of the time" (https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/draft-fake-news-laws-exercise-government-power-put-out-truth).

7. https://www.straitstimes.com/politics/ministers-to-decide-what-is-fake-news-under-proposed-law.
8. The Minister of State for Law has said that, for content producers to prove to the courts that their statements are not false, "I just have to show that what I wrote is true. That cannot be a very difficult or high bar… If I wrote it, I must have had a basis for writing it in the first place." (https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/concern-over-legal-costs-appeal-govt-orders-fair-help-available-edwin-tong)
9. Issues with the sixth condition for falsehood was highlighted in online articles (https://sg.news.yahoo.com/comment-fake-news-bill- time-lawyers-mps-stand-counted-044456719.html, http://theindependent.sg/singapores-online-falsehoods-bill-the-death-knell-for-trust- in-the-public-service/).
10. The Law Minister has said, "I cannot vouch for how a future government will act." https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/proposed-law-on-falsehoods-has-clear-oversight-mechanism-to-11438132.

I've recently come to a rather startling self-admission…I need January!
While I've always been a fan of this first month of full winter, I'd never truly realized my perspective was based on a personal requirement. Not just by choice, or some acquired quirky affection, but a deep-seated essential of my psychological, spiritual, and probably physical make-up.
For me January is as necessary as June.
Time slows in January. Suddenly there's no need to head for the malls and big-box retailers. No reason to spend half the day fighting traffic, jockeying for parking spaces, pushing your way through crowds. No requirement to attend another party or social event. There's space for relaxation, room to breathe.
January is a white serenity following the multicolored blaze of lighted Christmas decorations and New Year's Eve fireworks. As if nature has peeled the old year off with its passing and placed an uncluttered new canvas on the easel.
The landscape is cloaked in a vast and solemn peace — a quiet treasure where blue jays and cardinals become sapphires and rubies, and a single brooding hemlock can seem a vision in green.
January is for sitting by the fireside, cozying up with a good book, listening to a CD — preferably something dark and complex, so the music can blend with the tympanic rattle of sleet on the windowpanes and the soft, haunting moan of wind around the eaves.
Winter may have officially arrived in December, but January is when we come face-to-face with its heart and soul. Sometimes the bottom seems to drop out of the thermometer. Temperatures slide from below freezing to below zero.
You can hear the difference this deep cold makes in the sound of snow underfoot — waxy, high-pitched squeak which becomes louder and brighter the colder it gets.
Ponds which sported only a rim of fragile skim ice now freeze over, their sheath inches thick and solid as concrete. When you chisel a hole to fish for bluegill, the spud blade produces muffled thumps which ring like a bell.
Should the deep cold linger, certain shallow streams will turn uncharacteristically silent, locked temporarily in January's grip. Lifeless, though not without life.
For in spite of what may appear as a hopeless finality, below the binding ice the spark of life persists. In the recesses of flooded undercuts, jampiles, and rocky ledges, at the bottom of the pool near a gravely seep, buried deep under the soft ooze of primordial mud. Fish, frogs, mayflies, minnows, caddis flies, turtles, crayfish—plus a hundred other creature big and small, vertebrate and invertebrate, warm-blooded or cold, larva, egg, scaled, furred, including the muskrats and beavers in their connecting bank holes — all await, abiding time and season … persisting, surviving.
Some evenings, long after the time when I should have banked the woodstove's fire and retreated to bed, I instead step outside, where the nearby river murmurs along on its relentless seaward journey. Stream ice groans and mutters. If it's cold enough, I might hear a tree pop, cracking like a gunshot. And sometimes, the winter wind keens through the ranks of pale sycamores which lean like thoughtful druids along the banks.
January's nights are special, lit by a spangle of stars which seem bigger, brighter, closer—stars strung in patterns of ancient familiarity, spinning in slow waltz through an ebony cosmos. You can almost hear their heavenly music as you gaze upwards, shivering, feeling the awesome weight of incalculable vastness stretching forever before your eyes.
January is both eternal and eternity, endless and forever — its reign supersedes the millenniums. I need that truth reiterated from time to time.
I need January.

June 28, 2007
NEW YORK (June 28, 2007) – Arnold N. Bressler, former chair of the national business law practice at Epstein Becker & Green, has joined Moses & Singer, where he will practice in the firm's corporate, merger and acquisition, finance and securities practices. Bressler, who has extensive experience in representing other law firms, will also be a member of Moses & Singer's newly formed Legal Ethics & Law Firm Practice group.
Bressler brings with him corporate partner Wai Y. Chan and associate Carlos F. Ramirez, who have been part of the team servicing middle-market public and closely held corporations. The three will continue their broad-based corporate law practice, with an emphasis on public and private offerings and mergers and acquisitions.
"When I looked around the law firm landscape, I sensed a certain sameness to most of them," Bressler said. "I saw a lot of fine firms, but they were either branch offices of national firms or firms with multiple offices that were not as nimble or entrepreneurial as I would like. In Moses & Singer, I saw a firm that is fiercely independent and proud of it, collegial, professional, of extremely high quality and flexible and entrepreneurial.
"Moses & Singer reminds me of what the great firms were like before the practice of law became about running a business that happened to be a law firm. I had plenty of choices, and I chose Moses & Singer," he said.
Jay R. Fialkoff, Moses & Singer's managing partner and a member of its management committee, said: "Arnie would be an asset to the corporate law group at any firm in the nation, and we're thrilled to have him here. He practices corporate law with an eye toward spotting potential problems and resolving them, maximizing opportunity for corporate clients, and understanding not only the law but also the business goals of his clients.
"His existing clients have great faith in him, and our firm's corporate clients will benefit from his presence here as well," Fialkoff added. "Arnie's extensive experience in law firm management also makes him a superb addition to our Legal Ethics & Law Firm Practice group."
Bressler, who received his law degree from Columbia University Law School, is involved in a number of philanthropic organizations. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of Congregation Rodeph Sholom and the Board of Directors of the Association of Reform Zionists of America. For more than 10 years, he served as a director and an officer of an organization that supports social service programs in Israel. From 1996 to 2000, he also served on the Visiting Committee of Case Western Reserve University, from which he received his bachelor's degree.

A Thought: Weekends.
Our weekends are as full as our workdays! There are the chores, projects, sports, charity work, housework, and bills to pay. By the time we get to Sunday, we really just want to rest. That's understandable. It's also understandable the Lord instituted Sabbath not only for rest, but worship of Him. We might bear that in mind today before we 'overdo it' and just want to stay home tomorrow! Because it is true, as you seek Christ for answers, you will find Him ministering to the hungry, the afflicted, the lonely, and the needy. But, when you seek Him, you will also find Him in the synagogue in worship. I guess I'm trying to say when we strive to follow His example, it can't be just in the work. It must also be in the worship. I hope everyone truly enjoys their day today—make it great!
Lk 4:8 "Worship the Lord your God and serve only Him."

Top Archaeology Graduate Schools
Read about three top-ranked schools with graduate archaeology programs, and find out what degrees each school offers in this field. Review some important considerations for selecting a school with a strong graduate program in archaeology. Schools offering Social Science degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
What Should I Look for in a Top Archaeology Graduate School?
Because archaeology is classically considered a sub-discipline of anthropology, you'll want to select a top anthropology department with at least two active archaeologists on staff. At least one faculty member that specializes in your area of interest is ideal. Field and laboratory work is crucial in this discipline, so look for active field projects, artifact collections and the proper laboratory equipment for analyzing artifacts. You might be encouraged to pursue a Ph.D., even though master's degrees are sometimes available, because most career opportunities require a doctorate. Investigate the placement records of the schools you're considering.
What Are Three Top Graduate Schools for Archaeology?
Boston University (BU) in Boston, MA
Boston University's archaeology department offers three master's degrees and a doctoral program. Sample fieldwork locations includes Crete, Syria, Central Lydia, Guatemala and Mersa/Wadi Gawasis in Egypt. You'll have resources like the Archaeology Slide Library; BU's Gabel Museum of Archaeology; the International Center for East Asian Archaeology and Cultural History; and microstratigraphy, zooarchaeology and paleoethnobotany labs. BU has an East Asian Archaeology Library and the Stone Science Library - housing mostly GIS and archaeology materials. The BU Center for Remote Sensing is the only such facility in the world that primarily supports archaeological work.
The Journal of Field Archaeology editor is a faculty member of the BU archaeology department. The Archaeological Institute of America - the major professional association for this field - is headquartered at BU; the institute offers a quarterly American Journal of Archaeology. Graduate archaeology degrees offered at BU include:
- Master of Arts (M.A.) in Archaeology
- M.A. in Heritage Management
- M.A. in Geoarchaeology
- Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Archaeology
Indiana University in Bloomington, IN
Indiana University's department research is underway on four continents, with archaeological emphasis on the Americas and particular strength in Native American cultures.
You'll access the Mathers Museum of World Cultures and research centers like the Center for Archaeology in the Public Interest (CAPI), the Stone Age Institute and the Glenn Black Laboratory of Archaeology Center for Research into the Anthropological Foundations of Technology. Some lab facilities include ancient DNA, osteology and paleopathology, clay and ceramics, zooarchaeology and the archaeology of the eastern U.S. woodlands. Graduate archaeology degrees at Indiana University include:
- Master of Arts (M.A.) in Anthropology (Archaeology Major)
- Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Anthropology (Archaeology Major)
- Ph.D. in Archaeology and Social Context
University of Washington in Seattle, WA
The University of Washington in Seattle (UW)'s anthropology department features coursework in tandem with archaeology faculty members. The archaeology program has relationships with UW's Quaternary Science Center, an environmental anthropology program, and the Burke Museum, which houses one million archaeological and natural history artifacts.
Field projects or schools are underway in the Banda Islands, Southeast Asia, the Philippines, the Australian desert and Laos. UW's graduate program in archaeology leads to the following degree:
- Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Anthropology
