This month over on my website I've been having a bit of a rant! I must say I've found it quite therapeutic and it got me thinking about how, we British, are brought up to be oh so polite and yet we are great at ranting! Maybe it's because we are so polite, (I mean we queue for goodness sake, they don't do that on the continent) that we also feel the need to let off steam in print, on blogs, on our soapboxes. It is part of our culture to express our opinions in sometimes furiously hilarious ways.
I love The Times letters; Disappointed of Dulwich; Incandescent of Islington; Furious of Fulham. I always have a good giggle at Speakers corner and watching politicians, notables and "experts" apoplectic with rage on Question Time is somewhat cathartic. The British are often referred to as having a "stiff upper lip" but that doesn't mean we are lacking in passion. Passion is good, in business it gets things done; in life, it adds variety, colour and excitement. Now I'm not suggesting we spend all our waking hours being passionate, that would become rather exhausting. Simply, that a world of grey is very dull and the love of eccentricity, difference and being passionate about what you believe in is important.
What gets your goat?
So, what annoys you enough for you to express an opinion? In my case, as an ex financial advisor and business owner, the red tape around health and safety is one of my pet peeves. I'm not saying it isn't important we keep people safe, clearly it is, but when it extends to stopping the simple pleasure of a conker fight I despair. Another of the areas that makes me see red is poor customer service, we've all been on the wrong end of that.
I really don't understand this as a business decision; it is clearly bad for business so why do companies treat their customers so badly sometimes?
Opinions that cross over into political correctness
It is one of the upsides of living in a democracy that we can express our opinions, but sometimes these viewpoints offend others. However, I do feel that the term "un-pc" has become somewhat misused by those who don't seem to understand why the term came about in the first place. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, political correctness is:
I'm all in favour of eliminating racist, sexist, gender phobic and anti-religious language that offends others but am a little puzzled as to how certain actions are regarded as "un-pc" when they are simply upsetting to some. Advertising is heavily regulated yet it uses shocking imagery to make a point. My talk on the train crash is uplifting but starts with pictures of post-crash and some of my injuries- upsetting, yes, but politically incorrect? Apparently one young woman in one of my audiences felt it was "un-pc".
When did reality become "un-pc"? Maybe the peeve here is the lack of understanding of language where we misuse common popular phrases because we can't be bothered to find out what they really mean.
Should you express your opinions or keep quiet?
Having a good rant every now and then is quite a stress relief, which is fine as long as you don't hurt anyone with your views. However, it is more than that. Ranting against bad service, injustice, poor behaviour, laziness and bad political judgments is a service to society. Nothing bad ever changes until people speak up. There is a quote attributed to various people in various forms; I like the one said to have been from Edmund Burke.
Doing nothing is often easier, but that means those who are doing something bad are never challenged. Maybe writing a letter to The Times is a passive form of action, but it is action and it provokes thought and discussion amongst its readers. So, the next time you see red about something- maybe a good rant could change the situation.

Chapter 6 in Agenda 21, Protecting and Promoting Human Health, specifically addresses the need for vaccinations.
13. Each national Government, in accordance with national plans for public health, priorities and objectives, should consider developing a national health action plan with appropriate international assistance and support, including, at a minimum, the following components:
a. iv. Vaccines for the prevention of communicable diseases;
16. National and regional training institutions should promote broad intersectoral approaches to prevention and control of communicable diseases, including training in epidemiology and community prevention and control, immunology, molecular biology and the application of new vaccines.
Vaccinations are reported to state officials who in turn report this information to the federal government. This post focuses on the HPV vaccination for Human Papilloma Virus, or otherwise known as genital warts. The vaccination is called Gardasil.
This article by KTVB suggests Idaho is behind in its delivery of the Gardisil vaccination. This article leads you to believe the vaccine is safe with no ill effects. However, deaths, along with other adverse side effects, have been reported with this vaccine. The CDC does not report anything on the issues of deaths related to the vaccine.
This post IS NOT intended to persuade anyone from getting any vaccination. However, it is part of Agenda 21 to promote vaccinations. Most people are not aware that there is a form that can be signed to refuse vaccinations in Idaho and there is a specific statute describing what information the parent is entitled to, including the right to refuse.
From a medical standpoint HPV can be prevented by not engaging in sexual activity with multiple partners, or abstinence. This is true of any sexually transmitted disease. Agenda 21 promotes a woman's right to family planning services and vaccinations. There is much controversy about the amount of vaccinations that are given to children. Here is a timeline of vaccine development since Agenda 21 was implemented. Notice the dramatic increase since that time. Be informed, research what is being given to you or your child, and know your rights when it comes to vaccinations.

iOS 12, Apple's upcoming update to its mobile software for iPhone and iPad, was announced at WWDC 2018 and will be launched in the autumn. (In the meantime it can be installed as a beta.)
iOS 12 brings lots of new features, one of which is called Measure; this can instantly tell you the dimensions of rooms and objects in the real world by visualising them in augmented reality. In this article we show how Measure works.
Be warned before we start that we've not found Measure to be super accurate. This may improve in future iterations (it's still in beta, after all), but at this point it's a fun, clever and exceptionally convenient way of finding approximate measurements rather than something on which you would be wise to base the design of a house, for example.
Getting started with Measure
Measure is a standalone app. The icon is a black square with white ruler notches and a yellow bar: tap this (you may need to swipe down and search for it) to open the app.
The default screen is a camera view showing whatever is in front of (well, technically behind) the iPhone. There's a circular target in the centre, and a + button at the bottom – these are the key controls to start with.
Measuring the distance between two points
You'll notice, as you move the view over objects, that the target adjusts itself to the orientation of whatever it's pointing at. To measure the distance between two points, move the target over the first point and tap +, then move it over another and tap + again. The distance between the points will appear onscreen.
This measurement will now remain, even if you point the iPhone in a different direction and come back – you'll need to tap Clear at the top, or Start Again when prompted, to get rid of it. But you can add further dimensions. You could tap two entirely new points, or tap another corner of the same object and then move the target close to one of the previous points and it will be easy to join it on.
Instant rectangles
If you've got an object that's a neat rectangle, Measure should be able to detect it automatically. Move the target over it and you should see it highlighted in orange.
Now tap the orange rectangle on the iPhone screen and the dimensions (and area) will be shown at once.
(If it doesn't get highlighted, it's possible that the object's edges aren't clear enough, and you'll have to tap the corners manually. And at present Measure cannot auto-detect 3D cuboids, only 2D rectangles.)
How to change the measurement units
By default, we've found that Measure gives dimensions in metric. (Craig Federighi's demo showed them in inches, however. We're not sure if he had changed the settings, or if the default is different in the US.)
To switch between metric and imperial, go to Settings > Measure > Measure Units.
Spirit level
The spirit level app now sits within Measure (tap the Level tab at the bottom), but this works the same way as before – there's no AR component. It just feels like it would useful in many of the same situations as Measure's other functions.

When I first began reading and studying the Bible, I noticed this Person called the Holy Spirit. Now it was not, to the best of my recollection, about Gifts of the Spirit or the Baptism in the Holy Spirit or even the fruit of the Spirit. It was about the Holy Spirit as the Teacher of the Church. This idea derives mainly from the last sermon that Jesus delivered to his disciples before the cross. In my mind, that makes it important. People who are about to die generally only say things that are very important while they still can.
Now you may not have heard this expression, "the Holy Spirit is the Teacher of the Church" before, but it's a concept that I have learned and relied upon. "When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you." (John 16:13-14) Also, "The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." (John 14:26) I expect the Holy Spirit to do just that and He has always done it.
These have been two very important scriptures in my life. I do not talk about them much and I do not even think about them all that often, but they are foundational to both my personal devotions and to my study and teaching of the Word. I rely on the Holy Spirit in everything, but especially when I am in the Word.
Of course, as I say this some may be thinking that I turn off my brain when I read the Bible. That is not exactly correct. I understand it the best I can while leaving myself open for the Spirit to show me something. Have you ever had the experience of reading along in the Bible and something just jumps out at you and speaks to you? I don't know of anyone who has not had that experience. It is the Holy Spirit interpreting and applying what He wrote through the human authors of scripture long ago. If you keep a teachable Spirit and stay in close fellowship with the Lord, there is no limit to what He can show you.
Also, He will guide us into all truth. So this is not just some sort of individualist thing or private interpretation. The Holy Spirit has showed a few things to others as well. So we need to be a little humble and allow our "revelation", if that what it is, to be compared to what others say as well. I do not like to teach something that I have never heard another teach because we can all be mistaken. Let me give this warning: if you are the only one who truly hears from the Spirit, the spirit you are listening to is not holy.
Reasons to listen to the Holy Spirit: The main reason to listen to the Holy Spirit is that your little brain cannot figure out the Bible all by itself. Sorry, but none of us is that smart. I have heard too many Christians say that we should listen to the best scholars and use reason alone to figure out the Bible. (The "best" scholars are always the ones who agree with them.) Scholars have their place, but I think that we have given them too high a place in the church sometimes. We need people with great learning and ability, but many times those of great intellect tend to rely too much on their intellect and can fail to listen to the Spirit.
Another reason to listen to the Holy Spirit is that we view the scripture in light of our own thinking and experience. We are, frankly, biased. I remember interacting on the internet with some postmodernists. Postmodernists are people who do not believe that we can know truth objectively since we are bound by our own culture. There is not objective truth but only subjective truth. What may be true for you may not be true for me. They concluded that the Bible then could not be absolute truth. In fact, even if it were absolute truth, we could not truly understand it. I told that that was why we need the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lifted those who wrote the scriptures above themselves, so to speak, to write the truth in the language and expression of their own culture. We also need the Holy Spirit to interpret the Bible so that we do not end up simply with our cultural or religious understanding.
I know what some will say (because I have heard them say it). What about when people run around proclaiming some so-called Spirit-inspired revelation that is contrary to the written Word of God? This is a good question, but like many good questions it has a good answer. We need to "test all things; hold fast that which is good". That, of course, is the apostle Paul who was admonishing the Thessalonian church to not despise prophecy. (The revelation or illumination of the Word by the Spirit is not precisely prophecy, but it is similar enough that we can apply the same principle.) Why was prophecy despised? Simple. There were people who thought they had a prophecy and were delivering to the church or to individual members and they were mistaken. It was not the Holy Spirit. However, notice Paul's response. He does not rebuke those who prophesied mistakenly, but rather chides those who now were turning against a gift of the Spirit because some got carried away. Paul gives a simple solution: test everything and keep what is good. In other words, if some prophecy or revelation does not line up with what we know about the Word, then don't accept it. If you are not sure about it, then you can set it aside until you are able to judge it. Notice 1 Corinthians 14:29 - "Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge."
With all this said, I want to encourage you to rely on the Holy Spirit. You may be surprised of the understanding you receive. You can also pray for this as well. There is a prayer in the scripture for this very thing. "Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come." (Ephesians 1:15-21) A Bible teacher who I respect very highly said that he prayed this prayer over and over for months until the Holy Spirit began to teach him, and correct him, in a way that transformed both his life and his ministry. Perhaps you might give it a try.

The Holy Spirit as Teacher of the Church
Posted by Brian D Scarborough at 9:11 AM
2 comments:
I have been thinking about this topic recently. We tend to treat the Holy Spirit as an "it"instead of our teacher and Paraclete. He prays when we do not know how to. Many times I cannot pray effectively for someone because while I may know a general need, I do not know the specifics, but th Spirit does and can pray effectively for that person. And I think we would be more united in doctrine if we depended as you show, on the Spirit and not on men.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for the comment. I once went to a conference that had a seminar about the Holy Spirit and the "importance of It in our lives." I skipped that one.Delete

Placing trust in a medical professional should never be something we need to question but when this trust is broken the consequences can be irreparable.
While there should always be adequate safety procedures in place to prevent medication being misdiagnosed, errors in dispensation can, on rare occasions, happen.
Medical Malpractice
Although such occurrences are rare, they can come about from a wide variety of different ways. From miscommunication between staff or departments, inattentive medical care, or oversights in medicinal allergies or cumulative drug interactions, a misdiagnosis can arise from any number of scenarios.
This could be due to individual or collective negligence, however, it may the result of a wider-reaching problem of malpractice. In such a situation, any lawsuit would need to challenge the institution as a whole rather than specific individuals.
Before you embark with any litigation, you will need to fully understand the problem. This includes not only discovering the person or process liable for any shortcomings but also the reason why any mistakes occurred.
Erroneous Dosage
It could be that any adverse reactions you suffer are directly caused by the correct drugs but in the wrong amount. This can lead to serious implications for your health including organ damage, permanent impairment or even death. Receiving the wrong dosage can also transpire from one of several different causes. Such as:
- A doctor prescribing an inaccurate amount
- A pharmacist supplying the wrong sized medication
- A nurse administering the wrong dosage
Due to the large amounts of paperwork involved in the medical profession, it can be possible to follow this paper-trail to identify the point at which the mistake was made. Alternatively, seeking medical help from an independent specialist could also help uncover the root cause of any problem.
Unexpected Side-Effects
As anyone who has seen the packaging for prescription medication will know, there's always a list of possible side-effects stated clearly. If you begin to experience ailments which are not expected from these warnings, it could be due to either the wrong medicine or defective drugs.
If everything appears to be in order with your prescription relative to what your doctor described to you, there's a small possibility that the medicine itself is to blame. This would entail making a lawsuit directly against the pharmaceutical company responsible for manufacturing and distributing the medicine, something which is a highly complex process.
Further Help
Whether it's a product liability claim for a prescription of inadequate quality or due to insufficient warnings provided regarding risks posed from the medicine, any potential litigation would be likely to take months and require expert help from medical and legal professionals alike.
If you think you have fallen victim to any kind of ill-effects from prescribed medication, seeking further medical help or a second-opinion should always be your first step.
If you are then given any reason to be suspicious of medical malpractice being involved with your predicament, you may want to take legal counsel. A specialist law firm such as Colleran Malpractice Attorneys will offer free consultations which are available to assess your situation and guide you through available options. Moving quickly for legal help is heavily advised, providing both time and clarity in identifying the exact problem and finding a fitting solution.

This is the first cereal I've ever bought from them and I had high hopes as their products are all pretty darn amazing. I'm a muesli fiend, but having an allergy to nuts can make finding a decent muesli quite tricky. It didn't take long to decide to try the Alara branberry variety! It's very reasonably priced at £2.30 for 350g, keeping in mind we're dealing with organic products here.
The only other muesli I have found that has any sort of substance and real flavour is Dorset Cereals 'berries and cherries' variety; which retails at £3.99 for 800g, so that will be my comparison.
|Dorset Cereals berries and cherries ingredients; on website
|Alara branberry ingredients
So we can see here that there is a bit of a difference in terms of ingredients, but there are no 'nasties' to be found anywhere, such as E-numbers. However, it is worth noting that some of the fruit in Dorset Cereals seems to have additives of sorts. Dorset cereals also makes a point of advertising their muesli as 50% fruit, but last time I checked - which was just now - adding up all their percentages on the ingredients listed comes to 33.5%, not 51%.. Just sayin'.... Alara states that their muesli contains 31.5% total fruit.
What about the numbers on the sides of the packaging we're all supposed to be paying more attention to now? Well:
|Alara branberry nutritional info
|Dorset Cereals berries and cherries nutritional info; on website
This information is very revealing. If we were to have another look at the Dorset Cereals ingredients we will see that the reason this particular cereal is so high in sugar is due to their use of 'blackcurrant flavoured barley flakes'. They have also 'sweetened' their dried cranberries and blueberries with sugar.
Sugar, sugar, sugar..... Do these blackcurrant flavoured barley flakes contribute to the 50% fruit content? I certainly hope not. As a customer, if something advertises 50% fruit in my muesli, I expect to see a lot of fruit in my bowl, and not have my brain tricked by additional sugar to make me think "wow this is really fruity" when really it's just sweet enough to make me believe the 50% claim.
Therefore; Alara is the overall winner due to it's high fibre content and vastly lower sugar content. It is also higher in protein, which is always important, and lower in fat but is slightly higher in total calories.
What does it look like?
Slight fail on my part here.... I don't have any Dorset Cereal left so there's no photographic comparison here, but you can see the muesli on the packaging as there is a window for you to look through to witness the fruity goodness, I'm assuming!
Taste? There was a big difference, but it's hardly surprising given the lack of additional sugar. I will admit I did miss the variety of barley, wheat and oat flakes as well as the fruit. I'm not sure if it was just bad luck but there was next to no fruit in my serving and it was crying out for more! I did shake the bag around before opening it to try and even things out but maybe not well enough.
I always use hot water instead of milk - it's a very old habit - but I do think perhaps for this muesli some soya milk would be great. I looooooooove strawberries so I would always want more, but again, to balance out the tastes a bit better, some nice big pieces of strawberry or raspberry would be fantastic. Of course, they don't have to be freeze-dried, you could add your own fresh ones now as they're back in season!
As a breakfast cereal, Alara is definitely the better option if you're looking for an everyday go-to. It's an excellent base for adding your own fruit or mixing with some yogurt. As a 'treat' cereal, if such a thing exists, Dorset Cereals is amazing but the level of sugar has me concerned that eating it everyday is not quite offering you the health benefits it implies.
I would absolutely love to use Dorset Cereals in baking. I have a feeling they'd make some pretty amazing flapjacks! Yes, I know they make cereal bars! ;)
They both have their pros and cons, but being health-conscious I will be sticking with the lower sugar option if I choose to have muesli for my breakfast!

The Virtual Reality era has arrived in 2016, with several devices and VR content being released. The public has the opportunity to obtain abundant amounts of information and knowledge from various channels, such as through mass media or IT manufacturers. What's more, they can even experience VR for themselves with real immersive trial sessions at exhibitions, offline VR campaigns, or even VR-promotion stands which are usually found shopping malls or electronics markets. By taking part in these events, people can gain more hands-on experience with different VR headsets or gadgets.
VR has actually been in development for a long period of time. However, it wasn't until just recently that some well-known manufacturers, such as Oculus, Valve/HTC, and another second-tier brands, overcame long-standing obstacles hindering the development of a high-end quality headset. Google Cardboard has also given smartphone owners an inexpensive ticket into the VR arena. People are now free to select their VR gear according to the technical specs they desire as well as the prices they can afford.
Being a high-end computer manufacturer, MSI is dedicated to making PC hardware (e.g gaming motherboard and graphics card) that are fully compatible with mainstream VR equipment. As we know, both the HTC Vive and Oculus require powerful PC motherboards and graphics cards. Let's introduce some VR headsets and interesting gadgets. More about VR-ready hardware and our own MSI Electric City VR content, you can visit: http://goo.gl/mefhRz
HTC Vive is the product of a joint collaboration between HTC and Valve that requires a powerful gaming PC to play, similar to Oculus Rift. Compared with other brands, the HTC Vive has been priced at a higher price point of US$799. The Vive has a 1080x1200 pixel resolution and a refresh rate of 90Hz for each eye, and boasts a viewing angle of 110 degrees. The entire product bundle includes two tracking towers and two SteamVR controllers. It should be noted that the system requires a 15 feet by 15 feet tracking space for precise movement tracking, although users may also utilize their wireless controllers to input information. An advantage the Vive has over competition is that there are already about 100 Vive-compatible games ready for download on Steam.

Oculus Rift
The Oculus Rift is priced at US$599, and, like the HTC Vive, its headset has an OLED display with a resolution of 1080x1200 per eye and a 90 Hz refresh rate. One Xbox One controller comes bundled with the Oculus Rift, although players may wish to purchase other gadgets if they wish to pursue more dynamic movements. Despite having demonstrated the Oculus Touch controller in 2015, which can track your finger with a 360-degree spatial representation, this controller has yet to see release, even though the Rift was launched in April 2016. As Rift players do not need to move around to play, this system requires less space to operate.

In addition to headsets, VR gadgets are also beginning to emerge and are attracting larger crowds. It's not unusual nowadays to see hardware companies demonstrating their VR gadgets at large exhibitions. All sorts of gadgets and devices are coming out to offer an even more in-depth, immersive VR experience. Here are a few!
To be frank, a player needs to consider the total space they have available to set up a VR environment in, because one of the largest challenges with VR is its requirement of an ample amount of space to move around in. VRGO, a project founded with the aim to satisfy the basic requirements of saving space, smooth movement, and wireless operation, successfully raised enough funding in December 2015. It also won second prize in the British Inventor's Project at Gadget Show Live. The concept for the VRGO is that players would sit on the VRGO chair and control their movements by tilting or rotating when they were immersed in a VR world. The biggest advantage of the VRGO is that it is equipped with low latency Bluetooth. That means it can connect to a PC or cell phone at the touch of a button, and it also works with any game, keyboard, or joypad input, so players may sit on the chair and play without a controller in hand. It can be easily transported anywhere due to its light weight of 4 kilograms.

Virtuix Omni
Although HTC Vive has provided a natural and immersive solution by limiting players to move within a space of 15x15 square feet, one of the most difficult challenges in VR is how to handle movements and space within programs. The ingenious gadget Virtuix Omni seems to be able to deal with this issue. The idea of Omni came from an omni-directional treadmill, which is equipped with a concave disc and special shoes, so the player can walk in any direction smoothly. The concave design utilizes gravity to pull the user's feet back to the center of disc. When playing a game, the player's motions can be tracked through sensor pods that are mounted on top of your shoes. The harness encircles your waist which is reminiscent of a climbing harness. This platform allows you to walk, run, step backwards, jump, and strafe with 360-degree movement. For further description and specs, please click here http://www.virtuix.com/

The Manus is a pair of VR gloves which detect your hands in the virtual world. Instead of a joypad, the gloves allow players to use physical hand and finger motions within an immersive space. Not just limited to gameplay, Manus may also be utilized in the vehicle and medical industries. If the appropriate programs were developed, engineers would be able to simulate the assembly of significant vehicle components, and doctors could also simulate tough surgery sequences in virtual reality through the use of these gloves. They have a battery lifespan of up to 8 hours. The Manus kit includes a USB dongle, two wrist-mounted holders (for Vive's controllers), and a pair of washable gloves.

Respecting the Interdependent Web of Life
By Jon Sievert
Jennifer Butz offers a hopeful look at what is being done to combat climate change at this Sunday's Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Service.
UU Service
"Respecting the Interdependent Web of Life"
By Jennifer Butz
Sun, Nov 6, 10:30am
Posada de la Aldea
Ancha de San Antonio 15
The seventh principle of Unitarian Universalism is respect for the interdependent web of life. No other reality we face today challenges that interdependence more than climate change. We have come to understand that environmental degradation has the most negative impact on those who have the least. Without understanding and action, things will only get worse. But before we throw up our hands and concede defeat, Butz suggests we assess what steps are being taken to address the problem.
As it turns out, there is much happening across the globe to address climate change and improve the way that humans use and sustain our natural, living planet. From children in classrooms to tribes in North Dakota to leaders of nations and even theologians from their pulpits, there are words backed by action designed to move us away from fossil fuels and unsustainable production and consumption.
Butz also identifies the global architecture in place to address and inform how the world thinks about sustainability and climate disruption. She identifies what religious communities, including the Catholic Church and Unitarian Universalists, are doing to help reverse dangerous policies and behaviors to move us back from catastrophic tipping points. She concludes with concrete and practical steps individuals can take to lighten their own carbon footprint and improve the environment at a more immediate level.
Jennifer Butz is an international specialist in good governance and green growth, a model of development that demands the deft balance of three key elements: economic growth, environmental sustainability, and social inclusion. Most recently, she was a regional director of the Global Green Growth Institute based in Seoul, South Korea. She has lived and worked in more than 30 countries and visited another 40 in her wanderings. Raised Unitarian Universalist in Ann Arbor, Michigan, she has made San Miguel de Allende her home for a decade.
The UU Fellowship meets every Sunday at 10:30am at Posada de Aldea, Ancha de San Antonio 15, and welcomes people of all ages, races, religions, sexual orientation, and gender identity. The room is wheelchair accessible. For more information, visit our website at uufsma.org.

3 Ways To Reduce Shoulder Stress For Swimmers - FINIS
- 23 Jan 2017
3 Ways For Swimmers To Reduce Shoulder Stress
Swimming places high amounts of stress on the shoulder. This is why shoulder injuries are the top injury in the sport, estimated at ~50 – 80% in swimmers. The amount of shoulder revolutions during practice are the primary contributor of shoulder stress. Revolutions during practice can be manipulated, but no matter if you follow a high- or low-volume training approach there will be high stress on the shoulder constantly. Luckily, there are other factors which coaches can modify to reduce stress on the shoulder.
1. Keep your Head in Line
Head position influences stress on the shoulder. If a swimmer has poor breathing biomechanics, they will overstress the neck muscles (likely the scalene muscles). These muscles attach to the collar bone and can negatively influence shoulder motion. If shoulder motion is impaired or altered it can further increase shoulder stress and increase tissue load.
Using a FINIS snorkel can keep the head in a neutral position and reduce stress on the neck muscles which pull on the collarbone.
FINIS Swimmer's Snorkel - Adult and Junior
The Finis Swimmers Snorkel is a revolutionary snorkel that all swimmers can use to improve their technique. It allows the swimmer to glide through the water with no need to lift or turn the head and therefore focus on their underwater work and rotation before adding breathing back into the stroke.
Great snorkel - Review by Swimmum
"Very happy with this brand of snorkel. My daughter already had one with which she is happy so got same for my son. He is 12 but I got adult size as a junior one is shorter and sits less far above the water surface (easier to let water in). They adjust to his head size no problem. I would add that both my kids have found it useful to wear a nose clip with snorkels and this doesn't come with adult one. Delivered on time, well packaged, easy to purchase online. Mum happy and son happy after using for about 3 weeks."

2. Minimizing Paddle Stress
Pulling aids forward propulsion. Improving pulling strength greatly influences swimming, as the arms are the main contributors for free, back, and fly. Obviously, using paddles is going to increase shoulder stress, due to greater surface area and amount of water being pulled. Many swimmers strap themselves in and use oversized paddles, resulting in unnecessary stress.
The FINIS Agility paddles shape the hand of the swimmer and don't encourage the swimmer to maintain proper force application through the entire stroke. When a paddle is strapped on a swimmer they can simply press as hard as they can during any phase of the stroke and move faster. Without straps, the swimmer must use appropriate force application, reducing the amount of shoulder stress during the most stressful position (when the arm is fully extended and beginning the catch).
FINIS Agility Hand Paddles
Stay Palm Positive with the strapless Finis Agility Paddles. An essential item for your training bag. These innovative paddles help Olympic level swimmers train and perfect their stroke – have a go yourself and see why they are so widely trusted and loved!
Love love love! - Review by Dolphinz
"Great piece of kit -no more struggling with straps and getting marks! Much better in making turn around times and getting them on and off. Swimmers have said they are very comfortable and has improved thier catch no end! Awesome and totally recommend! "
(Posted on 19/08/2016)
3. Optimizing Body Rotation
If a swimmer is flat during freestyle or backstroke, they are reducing the space under their acromion (subacromial space) and increasing their risk of tissue stress on the rotator cuff muscle.
Integrating body rotation is mandatory for keeping as much space available under the acromion is key and luckily tools can help. Instead of using a large kickboard, an Alignment Kickboard can encourage body rotation during a kick set. Rotation helps increase space in the shoulder joint when the hips and shoulders rotate simultaneously. This space increase is small, but adds for millions of strokes.
FINIS Alignment Kickboard
The Finis Alignment Kickboard is designed for streamline, underwater and side kicking drills as well as being used as a normal kickboard. By incorporating a stabilizing hand strap, swimmers can control the board without gripping, creating a perfect alignment from the finger tips to the toes.
'Dorrito' - Review by Louise
"My son has been using this swimming aid (nicknamed a Dorrito!) for the last 2 weeks and it has already improved his kicking technique and his streamline position. A worthwhile investment. "
(Posted on 17/10/2015)
Shoulder injuries are a multifactorial issue. Taking the necessary steps of reducing shoulder stress in the pool are factors coaches and swimmers can influence. Keep this in mind when picking equipment, training volume, and skill work.

The greatest and most free nation ever to exist and her people are under assault by the very administration they elected in November 2008 and a President who gleefully, cheerfully and with great expectation, appointed some of the most dangerous-to-freedom anti-American, Totalitarian, Statist, anti-Semitic and outright Communist people to ever serve in the Federal government.
Their documented goal: "……to fundamentally transform America".
Every single one of the people elected and appointed swore before God and The American People the following oath (some with slight changes in text depending on office):
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
A. They all lied. Rather obvious, isn't it ?
B. They're achieving their goal "to fundamentally transform America" by building an impenetrable shell of regulations, tweaks and the odd 'nudge' or two around The Constitution they are sworn to support and defend.
This section of I.S.U. will work in concert with The American Survival Guide's "Guarding America", in an attempt to inform you of how deeply in danger you are of losing every single individual Right you have, along with your State's Rights and sovereignty and more.

Boy was I surprised when I got a comment this afternoon that a blogger that I follow nominated me for a few awards.
When I started this blog, my main intention was to market my book. But. as I posted more and more posts, I started to realize that my blog means more to me than just a marketing tool. It is a way to express what I really feel. It is therapy. It is a way to share with the others my philosophy of life. It is a way to let others know that they are OK just the way they are. It is way to open pathways for others to express themselves without being judged. It is a way to learn new insights and acquire wisdom from others. It is a way to evolve.
I still think "Peaceful Controversy" is a good name for my blog, but another name that would be perfectly appropriate would be "My Evolutionary Journey".
As a part of my evolutionary journey, I must now show my appreciation to fromlifeidletolifefantastic.wordpress.com for honoring me with the following awards.
First of all I want to thank fromlifeidletolifefantastic.wordpress.com for taking the time reading my blog. Secondly, I would like to thank fromlifeidletolifefantastic.wordpress.com for thinking of my blog when giving out these awards. Thirdly, I would share a few of my favorite posts from fromlifeidletolifefantastic.wordpress.com that I think everyone will enjoy…..
These were my favorite, but there are other great posts…..check her out!
Apparently, in order to accept The Sunshine Award, the Candle Lighter Award and Liebster Award, I must do a few things such as:
- Act like a God among bloggers (write a post)……..am in the process of doing
- Give your Acceptance and Thank you speech for the one whom blessed you with the honor. (See above)…….done
- Give the cream of your crop the award as well…….check below
- Post awards on your blog if accepted….will be doing
In order to accept The Sparkly Ten Commandments Award I must:
- Give Thanks…..done
- Answer Ten Questions with Honestly….check below
- Pass it on to Ten Other Bloggers…….check below
- Describe yourself in seven words: I am always searching for the truth
- What keeps you up at night? I love to sleep. Nothing can keep me up at night.
- Whom would you like to be? Easy – myself
- What are you wearing now? Sweat pants and a T-shirt
- What scares you? That my kids won't be happy
- What are the best and worst things about blogging? Best: Blogging is a way to express myself without having to defend how I feel. Worst: It is usually a one way conversation and no one that I can debate with.
- What was the last website you looked at? fromlifeidletolifefantastic.wordpress.com
- If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be? I would be more secure with my body – without having to intellectually convince myself to be.
- Slankets, yes or no? No…..I have no idea what that is.
- Tell us something about the person who nominated you. I don't know this blogger personally, but I can say that she has some great posts about how hard it is to find a normal guy in the world today.
For my top 10 bloggers that I feel deserve these awards just as much as I do, please go to Part II of this post because for some reason WordPress does not allow me to post things that are too long?!?!
P.S. if someone can tell me why this is so – please let me know.

Stephen Curry made headlines after the heartbreaking Game 1 loss of the Spurs, and quickly earned every sports journalist in the world's respect, with some people (not me) putting him as the clear best player in the postseason. Klay Thompson had an amazing Game 2, hitting 8-9 three-pointers, probably breaking some record for threes in a half.
But other than those two individual performances, the so called Splash Brothers (or more appropriately, the Drip Brothers) have been ice cold from the field.
Curry is 'only' shooting 34.4% (11/32) from beyond the arc, and a dismal 34.8% (23/66) overall. Klay Thompson is 27.2% from the three point line (3/11) and shooting 39.3% overall (22/56)
After being widely accepted as the league's greatest three-point shooting backcourt ever, Curry and Thompson have just looked way below average.
What is the reason for this? Injuries? Fatigue? A shooting slump?
The answer is all three of the above, but most importantly, the adjustments that the Spurs have made. It is not a coincidence at all that while Steph and Klay struggle, Jack and Barnes have good games. Danny Green has given Curry all sorts of trouble, and Kawhi Leonard has done wonders on Klay Thompson. By containing the two most dangerous guys on the court and leaving it up to whoever the hell wants to carry the rest of the offense (in this case, a rookie), the Spurs have successfully slowed the pace of the game to one they are comfortable with- execution, and grind-it-out Spurs basketball. And you wonder why Popovich has 4 rings.
What should Golden State look to do to force Game 7? The Harrison Barnes on small guard match-up is no longer just a match-up they should look the exploit. It should be the new game-plan. As ballsy as it sounds, running the offense through a rookie in a playoff game against a 16-year basketball powerhouse may be the only way to go for these Warriors.
Mark Jackson may even look to giving David Lee extended minutes if that is the only way to go. This Warriors team will be able to hang on on defense just by their athleticism and hustle alone, but they need new sources of help on offense, hopefully forcing some adjustments to the Spurs gameplan and freeing up Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
But honestly, whatever the hell happens Game 6, Warriors fans finally have something to look forward to. I also spent $330 on lower level Game 6 tickets so the Warriors better fucking win.

This year I'll just put Free People's playlist on repeat and daydream.

Fur, Leather, Fringe and Bling – Four Major Staples of Houston Rodeo Fashion
If you happened to visit Houston anywhere between the end of February and the third weekend in March, then you are in for a special fashion treat. Yes, we wear cowboy hats and boots here year long, but don't get me wrong it's always with style.
It's rodeo season here in Houston and the style gets more eclectic every year. One can expect to see anything from the faux/real fur coats to bedazzled cowboy hats and boots. The typical stone washed Wrangler jean set and a pair of mud bustin' brown cowboy boots may have been the premier way to dress 10 years ago, but not in today's world of rodeo fashion. Every event you attend during the rodeo is not just about the animals, it's also about the style.
The number one common thread was the cowboy boots accompanied by an exquisite fur coat/vest. Plaids are still nice to wear on the home front, however, finding the right jewels to piece your look together may come to be one of the hardest decisions. Do you add bling to an already fashion forward rodeo look? Or do you add a dash of turquoise to punctuate the outfit? Whatever the decision, make sure it is the right one. You do not want to be caught out during rodeo season without one of the major rodeo staples – fur, fringe, leather or bling.
These four looks were flaunted in the NRG Center as local models bopped down the Rocking the Rodeo Runway Thursday evening at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Models rocked clothing and jewelry from boutiques like Old Frontier Clothing, The Crystal Ranch, Romancing The Range, Rhinestone Cowgirl and Cinch Jeans.
With cowboy boots that were hand designed and plush exotic fur coats, you most definitely had an idea of what to wear to your next rodeo event.
Check out the fashions below of the show and some of the Houston Rodeo's most fashionable cowboy boots.
What do you think about the boots below? Yay or Nah??

Saga of Ice NATURE
Saga of Ice
The Saga of Ice Images contemplating the struggles of our planet's ice. This work is a selection of images from my expeditions to the Arctic. Over four years, I traveled a vast area including Iceland, Greenland, and Svalbard. Some of the most remote places on Earth are in the Arctic. Here you also see the struggle of our planet's ice. It is diminishing at an astounding rate. Ice resembles a living organism, conceived in a snowstorm. Water turns to snow and falls to the ground, collecting into glaciers and transforming into ice. You may think of ice as a solid, as something immovable, as something permanent. But ice continually changes form. It is dynamic and transformative. It travels valleys of rock, continuously altering the landscape and carving a path to make its journey easier. As more snow falls on top of it, ice becomes denser. It separates and breaks when it falls over cliffs, and it recombines into something solid. Rivers of ice flow together forming larger streams. Flowing quickly or slowly, its movement depends upon what lies below. The terminus, or end of a glacier, is where icebergs are born. In a dramatic event, a glacier calves a gigantic block of ice into the ocean. There icebergs are set on a journey. Some are trapped in fjords for many years, grounding themselves then becoming frozen in seasonal sea ice. Some are set free to travel the oceans. Tossing and turning, they become shells of their former selves. As the Arctic changes, the struggle of ice changes, but the cycle continues. The iceberg eventually returns to elemental water, waiting for rebirth in a snowstorm to begin the next journey.

It has been said,"Politics can make Strange Bedfellows."
Education Reform bill HB1234 domanated the disscussion at the capitol this year. It was most reported on bill thourgh out the session. The bill has been amended and changed. Now it's final version sits on the Governor's desk to be signed, and that's that, right?
The South Dakota Education Association announced Wednesday that it plans to refer a controversial reform bill to the voters in November.
If successful in their efforts to get the issue on the ballot, voters would decide the fate of House Bill 1234, a sweeping education reform bill approved by the Legislature.
Read it here:
Group wants to land ed reform on ballot.
I agree with Govonor Dugaard, we need to encrouge our students to do better. His plan in a nutshell, if the students do well, the teachers will as well, and we will encrouge them with bounses. If the students don't do well, the teachers will be encrouged to move on. I do not agree the state should be playing such a large role, or a one size fits all approach. Even the final version of the bill, takes too much from the local school boards.
The state can and should encrouge teachers in mathmatics and the sciences, these are extremelly tough subjects to teach. However, it should be done in concert with the local school boards.
I like the intent of HB1234, to get our school teaching again, I do not like the way it goes about it. More discussion is needed, with school boards, teachers and parents. We don't need some bill that was ramrodded through, just to pass a bill.
No one can take advantage of you, unless you give them permission
It appears the school board, and teachers figured out what this means.

I am a full-time, high school special education teacher, and I am looking to fill my summers and weekends with something I love to do... walking dogs! I currently own a golden retriever and a Siberian husky, but I have experience with and enjoy caring for both large and small dogs alike. I am also an avid runner with a lot of energy. I am looking forward to taking your dog with me on some fun adventures!
The village of Lake in the Hills is a pawtastic community for dogs and their owners. There are a variety of parks and trails where you and Fido can get some exercise together. When your pup needs professional attention, you'll be able to find a veterinarian in town.
Take your special pal fishing at Turtle Island Park off Indian Trail. This small facility has a gazebo and an overlook onto the lake. Bring a canoe and launch out into the water for a relaxing day with your pooch. Remember to keep your dog on a leash and clean up his waste.
There's a furiffic park on the east side of town. Head to Hoffman Park and walk along the trails with your furry friend. You can also purchase an annual pass from the Carey Park District to use the 18-acre, off-leash dog run located in this facility.
Another wonderful natural area to hike with your four-footed friend is Fox Bluff Conservation Area. This 273-acre facility has 0.6 miles of hiking trails. Dogs are permitted on the trails as long as they're on a leash up to ten feet long and you pick up any waste.
There are a range of outdoor activities available for you and your pup to enjoy in the Lake in the Hills area.

Reading is Life. Reading is Magic. Join me in this fantastical journey.
Avid Reader. Poem Writer.
It's like X-men, but with children.
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs.
May contain a teeny bit of spoilers.
Jacob is just your regular 16-year old boy. or so he thinks he is. Ever since he was a child, his grandfather's stories would often intrigue him, stories which he really adored. But as he grew older, he would eventually dismiss them as fairy tales.
but after the murder of his grandfather by a mysterious, foul-looking creature, Jacob seeks out the world his grandfather told him, a safe-haven, a child's paradise, a quiet place where he can escape from the 'monsters' of the world. A place, where the peculiar children reside, children who have unique, albeit quirky, abilities headed by Miss Peregrine, a female 1940s Charles Xavier, a pipe-smoking, Nanny Mcphee-esque headmistress. Yet, this strange world isn't free from danger after all, as soon as he discovers who he really is, he finds out the true evils that lurk around the corner, and they are following his every move.
Though not perfect, this book is a joy to read. The quirkiness of it all. The creepy photographs interspersed in the pages add to the reading experience. The first part is a dream, the middle part slows down a bit, but the ending had the bomb, like actual bomb.
The settings are well thought of, from suburban Florida, to the bogs in Wales. The backdrop of World War 2 adds flare to the mystery. The characters are full of personality. This is why I find potential in this book's cinematic qualities. Tim Burton might as well direct the film adaptation of this book.
the errors (often misspelled words) shouldn't bother you, this part-fantasy, part-adventure will lead you to places.................. and nightmares, cause of the photographs.
