If you're eating a low-calorie diet and walking to lose weight, a new study has a warning for you. While walking is great for your heart, it can cause you to lose muscle mass when you're on a low-calorie diet. Fortunately, there's another form of exercise you can do to avoid these problems and lose the weight even faster. And this warning is especially important for older adults.
One of the problems older adults face as they lose weight is that they also lose muscle. This can cause all sorts of problems. Losing your muscle mass can make you more susceptible to falls, breaks, bad knees, and even illness.
The diets that cause muscle loss are usually low calorie, low-protein diets. Deficiencies in protein and calories cause the body to break muscle down. This provides amino acids the body needs to maintain organ function. So if you're on a low-calorie diet to lose weight, make sure you're eating enough protein. But there's more you can do. This study suggests older adults who are trying to slim down should consider lifting weights.
Researchers at Wake Forest University found that combining weight training with a low-calorie diet helps your body preserve lean muscle mass. This is the type of muscle you can lose through aerobic workouts.

They use a 5,000-year-old formula that works even when conventional remedies fail. Modern studies show it works!

"A lot of older adults will walk as their exercise of choice," said Kristen Beavers, assistant professor of health and exercise science at Wake Forest and lead author of the study. "But this research shows that if you're worried about losing muscle, weight training can be the better option."
In the study, the researchers followed 249 adults in their 60s who were overweight or obese. They were also restricting calories. The researchers evaluated those who were doing weight-machine workouts and compared them to those who were walking or just doing weight loss alone.
They found that total weight loss was greatest in the walkers and weight lifters. The walkers lost 16 pounds in 18 months, while the weight lifters lost 17 pounds in the same time frame. The dieters alone lost only 10 pounds. But the muscle mass loss was greatest in the walkers. In fact, they lost twice as much muscle mass as the dieters and weight trainers.
You read that right. The researchers found that cardio workouts may actually cause older adults to lose more lean muscle mass than dieting alone.
So if you need to lose weight, lift weights and eat protein. But there's one more thing you can do to prevent muscle loss. You know those amino acids I mentioned earlier? If you take amino acids while you lift weights and eat protein, you'll maintain even more muscle mass. One of the best amino acids products I've seen is Perfect Amino. It's great for keeping your muscles strong as you age.

Well honestly I just really found out that the technical term was masterbation. I had always heard the word but never knew what it meant. But now it's like Ooh. Anyway I've been masterbating since about the age of six. I don't know just one day I was at home and I had a high bed that didn't touch the ground. And I was so small that I could fit under it. So one day I started accidently rubbing my pussy side to side on the floor and it felt good, I didn't understand why but it did. Than I would hump for a few minutes. My mom did catch me a few times and I said I would stop but I just couldn't. So now I love to hump, thats my second favorite. I've humped my bed, pillows, teddy bear, and a baby doll, even towels. And I get so into it I moan really loud. But my favorite is fingering my pussy. I haven't came yet, don't know why, but I do it cuz it feels so damn goood. I use to be ashamed and thought it was bad but thanks to this website, I know I'm not alone.

Twenty-year-old models which have suggested serious ice loss in the eastern Antarctic have been compared with reality for the first time – and found to be wrong, so much so that it now appears that no ice is being lost at all. "Previous ocean models … have predicted temperatures and melt rates that are too high, suggesting a significant mass loss in this region that is actually not taking place,"

AIDS redefines relationships
Published 4:00 am, Sunday, July 21, 1996
The shadow hangs over their lives, those implacable odds.
Undaunted, thousands of couples are quietly creating an intimate tapestry of fidelity, of courage and devotion, of teamwork.
They are known as magnetic couples. Positive and negative. One carries the AIDS virus, the other is virus free.
This is the face of AIDS today, the face of remarkable love.
It can be found in an Oakland husband and wife who recently became the parents of twin girls, a lesbian couple battling societal prejudices, a straight couple trying unconventional medical treatment, a gay San Francisco couple confronting looming infirmity.
As different as these relationships are, the couples share a kind of unshatterable commitment to their life together.

- How the Golden State Warriors built a dynasty San Francisco Chronicle

- Why is it so hard to police car break-ins in the Bay Area? Drew Costley/San Francisco Chronicle
- Coast Guard K9 learns to dangle from a helicopter California Highway Patrol
- Prowler caught on nanny cam in Utah Layton City Police Department
Every day, they balance hope and reality.
It's a critical counterbalance, one that defines relationships and tests mettle. But, as the virus burrows ever deeper into the nation's social fabric, more and more magnetic couples - gay, heterosexual, lesbian - are grappling with wrenching emotional and medical concerns, weighing the risks of transmission against an active sex life, combating social stigma, doggedly building a partnership amid an always fatal illness.
"It's a matter of love," says Wanda Jones, associate director for women's health at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Sometimes they entered into the relationship before the diagnosis; sometimes they entered the relationship after, with full knowledge of the diagnosis."
Indisputably, as HIV encroaches into more lives, infecting an estimated 1 million people in the United States, countless relationships have ended, unable to withstand the physical and emotional bombardment.
Yet numerous other couples, despite their contrasting medical fortunes, forge profound bonds.
They are partners for whom debilitating illness does not cause commitment to waver, who do not flinch when adversity strikes, who in the ultimate test of fire have proven their devotion instead of buckling and bolting.
Life in the moment
"A trauma like this either breaks you or it can bring the couple into more intimate contact," says San Francisco psychologist Lonnie Barbach, who specializes in relationships and sexuality. "Some couples get married after they find out one of them has a disease like this. It makes you realize how little time you have in life. You have to deal with life in the moment."
As they navigate the HIV minefield, magnetic couples battle unsettling emotions.
Uninfected partners inevitably reel with anger - over sexual betrayal, perhaps, over future plans that must be discarded.
"It means they are taking on a role that they didn't plan for," Barbach says. "You say "in sickness and health,' but this means that you are taking on something that you didn't necessarily bargain for."
For the infected partner, guilt is overwhelming. So is envy.
"They may feel jealousy because they are ill and the other is not," says Dana Gallagher, a physician assistant in private practice in Monterey. "They feel angry that the other person is not walking in their shoes. They face the other person hovering over them and reminding them of the illness."
Social stigma adds to the couple's burden.
"This is a heavy secret to carry," says Michael, 41, an HIV-positive carpenter in the East Bay who was diagnosed with HIV in 1988. His wife is negative.
"Early on with close friends, I felt the need to tell," Michael says. "Still, there's a fear of coming out and having people know. It took me years to tell my family. I know couples who haven't told anybody, not friends, not relatives. . . . If it were cancer, if it were any other disease, it would be different. This is not something you're real proud of."
When to tell
Magnetic couples must also confront a paramount issue: sex.
"A lot of people expect (such) couples to stop having sex," says Dr. Clark Taylor, a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco.
"If people are careful, there's no reason why they should."
Yet, some can be confoundingly cavalier when it comes to sexual protection, routinely playing high-stakes roulette by not wearing condoms.
The New England Journal of Medicine reported in 1994 that only 124 out of 256 magnetic couples used condoms every time they had vaginal or anal intercourse. None sero-converted over the span of 15,000 protected sexual acts.
However, among 121 couples who used condoms inconsistently, 12 partners became infected.
"Some of it has to do with whether people want to live without their partner," Taylor sighs. "Some feel guilt at not being infected. Sometimes, it's the uninfected partner who is pressing for (high risk) sex while the infected partner doesn't."
Disclosure also becomes a critical question: how to tell a longtime partner? When to tell a new one?
"I know women who want to keep it hidden," says Donna Finney, 43, a San Francisco receptionist who tested HIV-positive in 1990. "They are afraid to tell their partner because they are afraid of losing the relationship. They are afraid of being alone."
Finney, who lives in Vallejo, met her partner in 1992. She revealed her HIV-status on their first date.
"I was scared, I can't deny that," she says. "It's one of the hardest things in the world to tell somebody, especially when you are alone, and you've found somebody that you care about. But I felt I had to start out on the right foot with him, to give him the opportunity to see if he wanted to be with me.
"I figured if I told him right away and he walked out, then I wouldn't be completely devastated. But it turned out that we have a great relationship. He says that one of the things he most likes about me is my honesty." <

A tale of Two covers
The Original Chinese cover depicting both the actual "stars" of our period piece, and name checking the most prominent actors.
The English Language cover "starring" the only three Chinese actors most English speakers will be able to recognise, even though they have no role beyond cameo's and use stock martial arts promotional imagery to trick the martial arts crowd to part with there money, even though if it works they'll probably feel cheated when there "Warlords" turns out to be a Chinese Citizen Kane-esque story about the political ramifications of civil strife and internal political conflicts.
Anyway the Chinese film The Founding of a Republic has finally made its way to the Anglosphere (it was made to coincide with the PRC's 60th Anniversary celebrations in 2009). In short it is very good and anyone whose interesting in modern China should check it out. However if you wish to watch the film because Jackie Chan, Jet Lee or Donnie Yen is in it -so is John Woo but apparently he doesn't warrant top billing- don't bother your going to be disappointed. Jet Lee appears very early on as a Nationalist Admiral says three or four lines then leaves. Jackie Chan appears about mid way through as a Reporter interviewing a dissident KMT leader says all of three lines and is not seen again, Donnie yen appears very near the end and is the lyricist of the March of the Volunteers says all of three lines (see a pattern?) John Woo? I recognised him but on reflection can't remember what his character was.
Instead the film gives its lead roles to Chinese actors more accustomed to serious drama then "wire-fu" martial arts like Tang Guoqiang (Mao) and Zhang Gouli (Chiang Kai-Shek). Though to be fair most non Chinese will not have heard of them or seen them in any popular work so it is understandable that the film's advertisers highlighting the most recognisable actors. However using pictures of them from completely different films is still a bit off. The film starts at the end of WW2 just before Japan surrenders, the Japanese have been driven out of China by the Soviet Union after years of brutal occupation and unrelenting resistance by both the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Nationalist Party/de facto government (KMT) the mood in Nanjing where China is currently governed is optimistic, the Soviet Union has agreed to return all territory its occupying to the Chinese and both Mao and Chiang seem willing to give both a ceasefire and a coalition government a go. Tensions between the CPC and KMT where high since the last time the two where in an alliance under the guidance of the Soviet Union who was a close ally to both the KMT betrayed them and massacred many of the CPC supporters.
And it looks like history is about to repeat itself as despite the CPC making a number of territorial concessions (they had successfully liberated a number of territories in the North East of the country during the turbulence of war) and power sharing agreements between the KMT and other parties being signed -in particular the CPC and Chinese Democratic League (CDL) whom often found itself a neutral observer/negotiator for the other parties back room politics- its not too long before the KMT launches renewed offensive into "red areas" kick starting another civil war.
Now despite taking place during they yearslong conflict theres very little in the way of action scenes, if you are interested in seeing the military side of the conflict then you should probably check out Assembly
the focus is on the political arguments (the diplomacy, the positioning the backstabbing etc.) inherent to the conflict and how a united Communist Party led by Mao was able to not only maintain a war effort against a larger and better equipped military whilst practising a lengthy process of transformation of Chinese society in the villages and towns. This is contrasted with the KMT's fractious nature, there where constant power struggles within the party and its military in fact a portion of it split away altogether to become the Revolutionary Wing of the KMT and Ciang had to remain constantly vigilant against an internal revolt as his popularity declined and his dependence on foreign aid grew.
One particular problem Chiang had which showed how divisive the KMT were was the state of the Chinese economy. As is usual in time of war black markets exploded in size however what was unusual was that very little of the economic instability was directly related to the war with the CPC which operated mostly in the North. There were active CPC supporters all over the country of course but the PLA such as it was, was busy marching on Beiping and the banks of the Yangtze river. Yet virtually every economic hub of China was in chaos, especially Shanghai the keystone of the Chinese economy which is located in the Eastern coast many miles south of the fighting. The reason was that what few Capitalist entrepreneurs existed in China at this point (remember China was less developed then Pre 1917 Russia) where using the war as an excuse to hoard goods to raise prices. Incidentally all of these businessmen where supporters and financial backers of the KMT. Also one of the biggest hoarders in Shanghai were relatives of Chiang Kai-Shek. The KMT couldn't control the loyalty of its own ruling family.
Anyway there isn't much point getting into the plot as this is a historical piece and we all know how it turns out. And even if we didn't the title gives it away, I'll finish by saying this, despite being a 2 hour film involving groups of Chinese talking and arguing it does manage to keep the viewers interest in part due to the inherently interesting times and events it depicts, and the actors ability to emote and transcend the language barrier. A must see for anyone wishing to understand modern China, and to a lesser extent Taiwan.

I feel like there are wisps of ideas running through my head, that I am trying to snag and bring forth here. In the next few days, I hope to be able to write more about SAYMA (and maybe provide a picture or two).

I'm sure you'll enjoy your next venture. I'm sorry we have to miss the Gathering this year, but it does give us an opportunity to visit the NCYM(C) yearly meeting.

In order to push the plot along movies often use slight tweaks to lead the audience in one direction and help the story get to a certain point. Oh, the kids stuck in a cabin with a serial killer can either split up to "cover more ground" or they can stay together to prevent more deaths from happening. Or how about when the good guy is crowded by seven henchmen who attack one at a time until each one is unconscious. Moments like these are often a necessary evil to get to the climax, but sometimes they can be insulting to the audience's intelligence—like Lockout.
Guy Pearce—who clearly should've tattooed "Don't trust Luc Besson" on his chest—is Snow, a man wrongfully accused of murder and espionage. Meanwhile, First Daughter Emilie Warnock (Maggie Grace) is on a philanthropy mission—of sorts— to a high security prison in outer space that keeps inmates in a perpetual stasis in order to keep them under control. When Emilie's atrocious secret service guard brings a gun into an interrogation—despite warnings to the contrary—the prisoners take control of the station. Who's the only one to get her out alive? Snow.
Besson's films are pretty hit or miss, with hits like The Fifth Element and two-thirds of The Transporter franchise (also, I'm assuming Leon the Professional, but I haven't seen that) and misses like Transporter 3, From Paris with Love and Revolver. However, even in the hits, Besson's screenplays are stilted by shoddy dialog and gaping plot holes.
For Lockout, the dialog given to Guy Pearce is utterly atrocious. He has (almost) literally zero lines that aren't sarcastic, smart-alec remarks. Snow is wholly incapable of holding a conversation because he's just too cool for school (or prison, whatever). Meanwhile, Maggie Grace continues her Besson-ian role as the hostage daughter—he wrote the Taken films—and is stronger than usual, but still underwhelming. She's more worthwhile in this past season of Californication as a groupie sexual deviant than anything I've seen her do on the big screen.
Despite these foibles, the worst part of Lockout is the prison. Yes, that's a crucial thing to mess up, but hey, shit happens. First, there is no exposition surrounding the prisoners. From the moment they are awakened and set free, Alex (Vincent Regan, a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak) is the unquestioned leader who is constantly keeping his insanely psychotic brother from ruining their chances of escaping alive. That is literally all of the information regarding the main villains. The fact that Joseph Gilgun, who plays Alex's brother, is completely incomprehensible with the thickest Scottish accent ever created only further muddles the story.
Next, there is really no end game for these prisoners. The group has taken a few people hostage, but honestly there's no hope for them, even with the President's daughter. They are stuck on a goddamn space station that is first in orbit and then hopelessly plummeting towards the Earth.
Ignoring this, say they arrive safely on Earth. What then? There is not doubt an entire army's worth of soldiers would be awaiting their arrival to simply re-arrest the five hundred criminals.
This is where Lockout simply loses any credibility. There is no result possible where the criminals finish on the positive side of the spectrum. It's either death or further imprisonment…until death. You may be thinking maybe the action sequences are worth the price of admission, but you'd be mistaken. The action consists of either video game sequences or Pearce and Grace avoiding the hoards of rapists, murderers and other degenerates.
Deep down, there is potential for this story with intriguing villains (maybe make one of them wrongfully accused too) or a hero that isn't more sardonic than Adam Scott's Derek in Step Brothers. Instead, Lockout is a sloppy story with lazy dialog and nothing in the positive column apart from a very subdued performance from 20-years-from-now Gerard Butler…I mean Vincent Regan.
*Side note: I'm somewhat disgusted with myself that this review is the longest I've written in a while and it's wasted on this movie.

Thursday, April 16, 2009
Armed with signs and chanting slogans, democracy was in action yesterday with messages of "Stop Spending My Money," and the like. Others included a poster of President Barack Obama, in what I assume is a soviet military uniform, that read "Just Say Nyet," "Cling to My God, My Money, My Guns," "Stop Obama's Spending Spree," and "Abortion is Murder."
Anti-taxers from all walks of life, and viewpoints took to the streets in protest, and I am all for asserting our constitutional right to assembly and to speak up for our individual values. Without such freedoms, I wouldn't be allowed to be so vocal about the actions, situations and issues that please and anger me, but come on, make sure you are aiming your vitriol in the right direction.
Barack Obama has only been President of the United States for 85 days, not eight months or eight years. He isn't the person who had oversight of this economy when it failed. He wasn't in office on September 24th, 2008 when the first auto industry bailout took place, and he was not in charge when the bailout of the initial financial and credit markets took place, and yet from the photos and video I saw from yesterday's demonstrations anyone who didn't know better would have thought President Obama had been in office since the turn of the century.
Come on you gun-totin', snake wrangling, end-times waitin' freaks, blame it on the person that created the situation. – George W. Bush. Remember him?
He is the one that high-tailed it out of the White House a few weeks ago, hoping not to be hung (or shot) for the high crimes and misdemeanors he perpetrated against both the American public – who voted for him – and the world in general.
I honestly believed on January 20th that when Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the United States my days of bashing George Bush and his foolish-followers, were over. I was looking forward to the future that appeared bright in many ways and I assumed I would never have to type the name George Bush even again - but boy was I wrong. The ugliness, stupidity and greed of the previous eight years linger over us all like pot smoke at a Grateful Dead concert.
Although I have tried, it appears the last Bush administration is a shadow I won't soon forget, and yet the anti-taxers have a short memory. Which president cut taxes for the wealthiest Americas as he was picking a fight with the world and marching our soldiers to their deaths in Iraq?
We have George Bush, and his greedy friends, to thank for the current State of the Union, not Barack Obama. George Bush did what Republicans always do – cut taxes for their wealthy friends (who then try to find other ways of raping the capitalist system), and then push on the costs to future generations on working Americans.
By the time George W Bush left office he added more to the national then any of the preceding president in history, followed closely by the other last two-term Republican president - Ronald Reagan.
The eighties, under Reagan, were similar to the last eight years - excess, extravagant consumerism, greed and a people and nation living beyond their means. Reagan too, believing in trickle down economic, cut taxes on the wealthiest Americans, and heaped more of the burden on the little guy thereby ensuring us years of record deficits.
The Republicans love to labels Democrats as the "Taxers and Spender" but it is a flat out lie. The national debt increased more during the combined 16 years of Ronald Reagan and George W Bush then all the other presidents combined.
President Obama would not be dealing with any of the problems if the Bush administration hasn't had its head in the sand and had focused on the important issues, instead of creating situations to make their friends richer on the backs of the American taxpayer. The mismanagement and misguided priorities of the past administration and the cost of an unnecessary war brought us to the point we are at today. Surprisingly, our "anti-tax" friends were conspicuously quiet when George Bush pushed the country into the Iraq War at an estimated cost of 2 trillion dollars.
Why is it acceptable for the United States to charge up 2 trillion dollars in debt to invade a nation that was no serious threat to us? That would have been a perfect time for the "anti-taxers" to take to the streets yelling and screaming along side the anti-war protesters.
My only conclusion is that money for war is somehow acceptable to these people. It is totally permissible to spend obscene amounts of money destroying cities, towns, families and lives, but it is not okay to ensure children have healthcare and a good education or seniors have their prescription drugs and the streets are safe.
This takes me back to the piece I wrote over 1 1/2 years ago entitled "What Do Americans Value?" (Here on my blog from October 2007. It generated more activity and interest then anything I have ever written.)
American priorities have been and continue to be mis-aligned. Far too many Americas are fine with our government spending trillions destroying armies and bombing buildings but they shriek when the same amount of money is spent for their own good – and believe me - shoring up the financial and credit mess left by the George Bush administration is in our best interest.
If given a preference, President Obama would rather be cutting taxes for American families, instead of spending money on bailouts for Detroit and Wall Street and killing and destroying innocent lives in a country half a world away.
If the anti-taxers want to make a point, call for the head of the person (George W. Bush) or people (including Dick Cheney) that got us into this mess. Take to the streets and demand congress take a serious look at the unbridled actions of the greedy and unprincipled group that just left office.
I applaud your enthusiasm and goal, but make sure you are pointing the finger in the right direction. We have to all stand behind President Obama, no matter what drug-addled right-winger radio talkers say. We have a vested interest to get it done right for our children and our grandchildren.
Oh, and one more thing - Don't mix your messages. Stay on point. If the message is taxation, it is completely acceptable to carry on about fiscal irresponsibility, but what is up with the anti-abortion signs I saw? Did these people, and there were many, take a wrong turn on the way to a Pro-Life rally. Carrying an anti-abortion sign at a taxation demonstration does not make sense to me. It is like carrying a "Jews for Jesus" sign at a gay pride parade. It isn't on point and Nobody Cares!

I think you're right Chris...the finger needs to be pointed in the right direction.....at EVERYONE in Washington...the Congress, the Senate, the current administration and last but certainly not least...GEORGE. It's only my opinion but not a one of them gives a crap about any of us. GWB spent trillions of our dollars on a war and Obama is planning to spend trillions of $$$$ of our grandchidlrens money. For me...it isn't about a political party...it's about being fiscally responsible with the taxpayers money. My husband was force into taking a pay cut to keep his job.....when is the Congress taking thier paycut?
We might disagree about the finer points but the beautiful things is that we can and still not hate each other for it....hmmmm is there someway to bottle that recipe and pass it out to the rest of the country?

The earliest (known) contacts were via the cinnamon routes. It was a long LONG time ago. Its not inconcievable that someone, probably many actually, travelled back to China and just stayed.
I think you're missing the point completely. These people lived there for thousands of years...they lived there for 2,000 (or more) years before any Chinese appeared in the region. There are whole villages, graveyards, dessicated fruit groves, etc. They weren't just passing through. Then there came a severe climate change and the streams and lakes dried up.
That's consistent with an older view, that of diffusion of discoveries (writing, the plow, the stirrup, the abacus, gunpowder, what-have-you) from point of origin (wherever each one originated) outward to the rest of the world.Rethinking a History That's Carved in StoneThree months after the announcement of its discovery in Central Asia, a tiny stone object inscribed with symbols thought to be the writing of an obscure desert culture from 4,000 years ago is more of an enigma than ever. If this is indeed an early form of writing, as its discoverer has suggested, it is strong evidence for a previously unknown civilization that began about 2300 B.C. across much of modern Turkmenistan and parts of Uzbekistan and Afghanistan... An even more puzzling aspect of the discovery has been raised by specialists in ancient Chinese writing. They contend that the inscription bears more than a passing resemblance to Chinese writing -- not an early script, but one that was not used until about 200 B.C... There is no clear evidence for Chinese writing before about 1300 or 1200 B.C. -- 1,000 years after people lived at the Anau site in Turkmenistan where the mysterious inscription was unearthed... Another possibility, which would throw the scholarship of Chinese writing into turmoil, is that the 2300 inscription date is correct. That would suggest that influences from Central Asia or farther west might have contributed to the invention of Chinese writing. Dr. Mair, who holds that such influences were greater than previously thought, has raised this controversial point.

Procline Hybrid Hoody Men's
Ski alpinists know that they earn their descents with aggressive, technical ascents. The Arc'teryx Procline Hybrid Hoody delivers thermal performance with climate control for the climb. Two fabrics combine using Arc'teryx Hybrid Mapping technology. A Tyono nylon shell is bonded to a light, moisture wicking microgrid Polartec fleece. The Tyono shell is a 20 denier nylon that is light, compressible and deceptively durable. It has a DWR treatment to shed light moisture, and blocks wind while still providing enough air permeability to prevent overheating. The Polartec Classic 100 micro velour small grid fleece lines the body and top of the hood to provide efficient, lightweight warmth and moisture transport. Under the arms and down the sides, where heat release and freedom of movement are critical, Polartec Power Stretch fleece with Hardface Technology is used. Lightly brushed on the inside, and delivering exceptional stretch, the material's smoother face helps with snow and abrasion resistance.

Remembering People
Contributed by Curtis Emerson on Jun 8, 2010 (message contributor)
Summary: Memorial Day Sermon, Scripture and quotes to encourage those listening to remember those that have given themselves for our freedom, especially spiritual freedom.
Remember People; Joshua 4:1-7 Pastor Curtis Emerson
1Now when all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,
2"Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from each tribe,
3and command them, saying, 'Take up for yourselves twelve stones from here out of the middle of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet are standing firm, and carry them over with you and lay them down in the lodging place where you will lodge tonight.'"
4So Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the sons of Israel, one man from each tribe;
5and Joshua said to them, "Cross again to the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel.
6"Let this be a sign among you, so that when your children ask later, saying, 'What do these stones mean to you?'
7then you shall say to them, 'Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off ' So these stones shall become a memorial to the sons of Israel forever." (NASB)
Ron was a fifteen-year-old teenager, a tenth-grade student at Granger High School. It was game day, and he was the only sophomore suiting up with the varsity team. Excitedly, he invited his mother to attend. It was her very first football game, and she promised to be there with several of her friends.
The game finally ended, and she was waiting outside the locker room to drive Ron home.
"What did you think of the game, Mom? Did you see the three touchdown passes our team made and our tough defense, and the fumble on the kickoff return that we recovered?" he asked.
His mother replied, "Ron, you were magnificent. You have such presence, and I was proud of the pride you took in the way you looked. You pulled up your knee socks eleven times during the game, and I could tell you were perspiring in all those bulky pads because you got eight drinks and splashed water on your face twice.
"I really like how you went out of you way to pat number nineteen, number five and number ninety on the back every time they came off the field."
"Mom, how do you know all that? And how can you say I was magnificent? I didn't even play in the game."
His mother smiled and hugged him. "Ron, I don't know anything about football. I didn't come here to watch the game. I came here to watch you!"
The moral of that story is: PEOPLE COUNT MOST OF ALL!
Here's another way to look at it:
One time the popular actress Sophia Loren sobbed to her Italian movie director, Vittorio De Sica, over the theft of some of her jewelry. And he said to her, "Listen to me, Sophia. I am much older than you and, if there is one great truth I have learned about life, it is this: NEVER CRY OVER ANYTHING THAT CAN'T CRY OVER YOU!"
Have you learned that lesson in life - People are more important than things!

All Hail Boston Rob, Winner of Survivor: Redemption Island
There were two twists for this twenty-second season of Survivor. One, was the return of two of the most notorious past players, the pathologically evil-yet-entertaining Russell Hantz and the bad boy-turned- endearing "Boston" Rob Mariano. The second was the creation of Redemption Island, a place where voted-off castaways would be given a second chance to get back in the game.
I loved the first twist because I recognize that first and foremost, Survivor is a television show and its first requirement is to entertain. And like them or not, Russell and Rob are two of the most dynamic contestants to ever play the game. The success of any season of Survivor is about 90% casting, 5% Probst dimples and 5% location. When, like last season, there is a lackluster cast, no amount of "wanna know what you're playing for" or "Survivors, ready?!" will save it. So, the producers were smart to ensure that there were two remembered, as well as memorable, cast members.
Bringing back two players did not guarantee that they would be around long to carry the show, as they each came with huge targets on their backs. And, indeed, Russell was so hated by his tribe that they did the unthinkable -- throwing a challenge just so that they could vote him off. It turned out to be a $1 million mistake for one of the former Zapatera tribe because they had the momentum, the numbers and the edge going into that challenge. There is no question that had they not thrown that challenge, it would have been one of their own (if not all from that tribe) sitting in the finals and not riding the jury bench.
But Rob somehow used his voodoo magic, Boston charm or Survivor mind control to convince his fellow castmates to keep him around. Though he was clearly the biggest threat, though he was the obvious choice to get rid of early, his team instead clung to him like a life raft in the middle of the ocean (rather than the 2 ton anchor he actually was...to continue the metaphor). Rob made them believe they needed his construction skills to build their shelter. He had them thinking that, despite them losing challenge after challenge, they shouldn't risk becoming a weak team by voting him out. He somehow manipulated everyone of them to being a key player on Team Rob.
A great example of just how intellectually overmatched his fellow castmates were, at the finale Jeff asked Natalie why she and the other girls didn't try and vote out Rob when they had the chance. She, as did Ashley, admitted that she knew Rob had the secret Immunity Idol and so thought it would do no good to try and vote him out. It is Countering the Immunity Idol 101 that when someone has it, you do whatever you can to force them to play it. But instead they let him have the benefit of the idol without having to use it until the very last opportunity. Crazy.
The Redemption Island twist was infuriating. After "the tribe has spoken" there's a catch?? No, I'm a purist. Out means out. But this year...and it appears next season as well, sadly...you had a chance to get back into the game by outlasting the other kicked-off survivors in a series of duels. It gave us the story arc of Matt the Christian true believer whom God appeared to be carrying all the way to the end. Matt won ten duels, was brought back in the game only to be voted out again, and seemed poised to make another miraculous comeback, all thanks to God, which would have given the premed student and the almighty quite a story to tell their friends. But, instead, Matt fell short and all that time on the island seemed in retrospect a cruel joke.
A few observations. David said during the jury questioning what the rest of us were thinking--no one played a better game than Boston Rob and no one since Richard Hatch has worked harder or more cleverly to come out on top. Steve and Grant are whiny jerks -- the NFL should be embarrassed. Phillip did not have to apologize to anyone. He was interesting and real and was treated horribly by most of the opposing tribe (save for the hirsute hillbilly who redeemed himself with his Phil vote). Cyclops needs to apologize to Natalie and Natalie's mother for her nasty comments during the jury segment. The girl is 19, away from home, playing a game for $1 million with people much older than her. She made it to the end, which 15 others couldn't say. Julie, go take your bitterness against the cute girl, oh, and your stealing Phillip's trunks, and show us just how classy you really are. I'm sure your girls are really proud.
It would be easy to discount Rob's masterful play this season as "fourth-time's-the-charm." But as anyone who watches Survivor knows, it does not get easier the more times you play, your vulnerability actually grows exponentially each time. It is a testament to his brilliant social game that Rob overcame being the most obvious choice for an early boot to control almost every breath that his tribe took for 39 days. I have not seen such blind obedience to a male authority figure since Jim Jones. May not be the most flattering analogy, but it is the most apt.
I'd strongly urge Natalie and the rest of the Omatepe tribe to steer clear of Koolaid for a while.

"As anyone who watches Survivor knows, it does not get easier the more times you play, your vulnerability actually grows exponentially each time." Every lawyer I know - except the oldest ones - love Survivor. I wish you'd do a blog post about why that may be. Perhaps the courtroom is just a big underproduced episode of Survivor, complete with secret relationships and deals, cutthroat casting choices, and attention-grabbing manipulative suspense. "Social game" ...indeed.ReplyDelete
"I have not seen such blind obedience to a male authority figure since Jim Jones. Not the most flattering analogy, but it is the most apt." Yeah, I was thinking along "cult leader" lines as well. I don't know if I would've picked JJ, but a Jonestown sledgehammer will certainly drive home your point as much as a regular Waco hammer will. Strange that a popular primetime show would feature such evil abilities, but then again, TPTB clearly feel the urge to fight fire with fire to get the cards that Trumpy somehow keeps conjuring up from his blatant bullying.

Welcome to the HubBucket Blockchain ("HubBlockchain"), Blockchain technology for Healthcare Providers and Professionals, coupled with Medical Researchers. HubBucket Blockchain ("HubBlockchain") is a research and development - R&D project of HubBucket, Inc. ("HubBucket"). HubBucket aims to create and promote a "secure, efficient and scalable exchange of health data using Blockchain technology."
As our healthcare systems rely more and more on electronic records, the idea of transformative, smart healthcare systems has caught the eyes of tech vendors and research teams alike. Using software to create more efficient records systems, using Big Data and sequencing to improve our understanding of genetics and the use of smart devices to monitor the conditions of patients automatically are just some of the ways technology is impacting our health, but with innovation lies risk. Data breaches are a daily occurrence in today's world. If is a matter of when, not if, enterprise players become the victim of a successful cyberattack, and it is almost expected that, eventually, your data will in some form end up for sale online. However, when medical data is at risk, this deeply sensitive and personal information makes the entire situation far more serious and potentially devastating for victims. This is the reason why HubBucket is taking steps to ensure sensitive medical and healthcare information and data are protected at every stage within the HubBucket Blockchain ("HubBlockchain").
HubBucket will mitigate these risks by working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration - FDA to secure medical data from sources including electronic medical records, clinical trials, genomic data, and health data from mobile devices, wearables, and the Internet of Things - IoT, etc. In an initial trial focused on oncology, blockchain technology will be used to create an electronic ledger of where, and how, data is transferred and exchanged -- in the same way that cryptocurrency transactions are traced. By creating an audit trail through the ledger, healthcare professionals will be able to hold information leakers accountable, maintain transparency in what data is going where, and secure weak spots in the sharing process. Blockchain technology provides a highly secure, decentralized framework for data sharing that will accelerate innovation throughout the Healthcare and Medical Research industries.
Traditionally, the interoperability of medical data among institutions has followed three models: push, pull, and view (discussed below), each of which has its strengths and weaknesses. Blockchain offers a fourth model, which has the potential to enable secure lifetime medical record sharing across providers.
Push is the idea that a payload of medical information is sent from one provider to another. In the U.S. a secure email standard called Direct is used to provide encrypted transmission between sender (for example, an E.R. physician) and receiver (for example, your primary care doctor). Although this has worked for health care providers in the past, it assumes that infrastructure is in place to actually make it work, such as the existence of an electronic provider directory for the community and a set of legal agreements enabling widespread sharing of data. Push is a transmission between two parties, and no other party has access to the transaction. If you end up being transferred to another hospital, the new hospital may not be able to access data about your care that was pushed to the first hospital. There is no guarantee of data integrity from the point of data generation to the point of data use — it is assumed that the sending system generated an accurate payload and the receiving system ingested the payload accurately — with no standardized audit trail.
Pull is the idea that one provider can query information from another provider. For example, your cardiologist could query information from your primary care doctor. As with push, all consent and permissioning is informal, ad hoc, and done without a standardized audit trail.
View is the idea that one provider can view the data inside another provider's record. For example, a surgeon in the hospital operating room could view an X-ray you had taken at an urgent care center. Security approaches are ad hoc, not audited in a standardized way, and not necessarily based on an existing patient-provider relationship.
All of these approaches work technologically, but the policies surrounding them are subject to institutional variation, local practice, state laws, and the rigor of national privacy policy enforcement. Blockchain is a different construct, providing a universal set of tools for cryptographic assurance of data integrity, standardized auditing, and formalized "contracts" for data access.
Here's the idea:
Blockchain was originally conceived of as a ledger for financial transactions. Every financial institution creates a cryptographically secured list of all deposits and withdrawals. Blockchain uses public key cryptographic techniques to create an append-only, immutable, time-stamped chain of content. Copies of the blockchain are distributed on each participating node in the network.
Today humans manually attempt to reconcile medical data among clinics, hospitals, labs, pharmacies, and insurance companies. It does not work well because there is no single list of all the places data can be found or the order in which it was entered. We may know every medication ever prescribed, but it can be unclear which medications the patient is actually taking now. Further, although data standards are better than ever, each electronic health record (EHR) stores data using different workflows, so it is not obvious who recorded what, and when.
Imagine that every EHR sent updates about medications, problems, and allergy lists to an open-source, community-wide trusted ledger, so additions and subtractions to the medical record were well understood and auditable across organizations. Instead of just displaying data from a single database, the EHR could display data from every database referenced in the ledger. The end result would be perfectly reconciled community-wide information about you, with guaranteed integrity from the point of data generation to the point of use, without manual human intervention.
HubBlockchain doesn't store health records or require a change in practice. It stores a signature of the record on a blockchain and notifies the patient, who is ultimately in control of where that record can travel. The signature assures that an unaltered copy of the record is obtained. It also shifts the locus of control from the institution to the patient, and in return both burdens and enables the patient to take charge of management. For those patients who do not want to manage their data, I imagine that service organizations will evolve to serve as patient delegates for this task. One challenge of the project and the idea is building an interface that can make this responsibility palatable for patients. Most of the individual patient portals that people use today have cumbersome designs, create more work, and have different user interfaces at every institution. A deployed HubBlockchain A.I. system would feature a user interface to simplify patient interaction with health care records that bridge multiple institutions.
As our next step, we plan to enhance the HubBlockchain pilot with more data types, more data contributors, and more data users. The rationale for considering a blockchain in Electronic Health Records - EHR, Electronic Medical Records - EMR and Medical Research data and information is twofold. First, it avoids adding another organization between the patient and the records, in addition to Medical Research organizations. It is not a new clearing house or "safe deposit box" for data. The blockchain implies a decentralized control mechanism in which all have an interest, but no one exclusively owns it. This is an architectural change that generalizes past medical records. Second, it adds due consideration to a time-stamped, programmable ledger. That opens the door for intelligent control of record access without having to create custom functionality for each EHR and EMR vendor. The ledger also inherently includes an audit trail.
Blockchain for Healthcare Providers and Medical Research organizations is very early in its lifecycle, but it has the potential to standardize secure data exchange in a less burdensome way than previous approaches.
Artificial Intelligence - A.I. & Blockchain Technology
The HubBlockchain Team is developing Artificial Intelligence - A.I. for security of the HubBlockchain. Moreover, we are basing the HubBlockchain on various Artificial Neural Networks - ANN, thus providing a more robust blockchain for sensitive medical and healthcare data and information.
The HubBlockchain is being developed as a Hybrid Cloud topology that uses Artificial Intelligence - A.I. and encryption as layers of security. Furthermore, the HubBlockchain will use:
- Machine Learning - ML
- Deep Learning - DL
- Natural Language Processing - NLP
- Natural Language Understanding - NLU
- Neural Machine Translation - NMT
- Biometrics
HubBucket is working to improve Medical Diagnoses with Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Machine Vision tools. Large amounts of confidential data are required to develop these tools, however we are non-confidential data for testing purposes. We will run Verifiable Data Audits at every stage in our testing of the HubBlockchain. Data processed by HubBlockchain's servers will be logged, and a "special digital ledger" will also be added to explain how and why the data has been used. For example, if results from a cancer test were uploaded, it'll show they were used in an algorithm to check for possible treatments.
The ledger and entries within the system will be used in a similar way to a blockchain (a distributed database). Like a blockchain, the ledger added to the HubBlockchain can't be erased and the database list continually grows. A value known as a "cryptographic hash" will be generated every time a data entry is added to the ledger. The hash value makes it possible to see the latest entry and all the previous values in the ledger as well, so the data log can be tracked over time, and the Artificial Intelligence - A.I. integrated into HubBlockchain will keep a constant eye on the integrity of the data and information, and will report any issues to the stakeholders of that data, in addition to taking preventive security steps to fight off any cyber attacks.
It's impossible to change a specific entry secretly, as this alters the hash value and disrupts the data trail and the HubBlockchain A.I. will note any discrepancies, when and whom made those discrepancies. The HubBlockchain's online interface will be accessible by authorized staff working in hospitals and medical research organizations, so data entries can be scrutinized in real time. Alarm signals can be triggered if workers spot any unusual or suspicious activity.
We live in a digital world, yet the majority of medical records such as blood test reports or x-rays are stored on paper. Moreover, most hospitals don't share access to medical records, which is time consuming for doctors when prescribing treatments and inconvenient for patients. Having medical records on the blockchain can have a positive effect on disease management, disease prevention, and minimize unnecessary healthcare expenses. Digital health records will also open up the possibility for cross-border sharing of medical data if a patient is on holidays and requires treatment abroad.
The HubBucket Blockchain ("HubBlockchain") project is based on Keyless Signature Infrastructure, which protects the data from interference, glitches and viruses. This system enables only the entry of new data and keeps the records secure from any alteration. As a result, medical records on the blockchain will contribute to patients' empowerment, medical transparency and improved dialog between caregivers and patients.
HubBucket is creating a proof-of-concept to test the HubBucket Blockchain for data security, integrity and patients trust in managing and sharing Electronic Health Records - EHR, Electronic Medical Records - EMR, Medical Research data, images, and information among healthcare stakeholders. This data security test strives to create a system for a seamless interaction between patient and doctor, where patients can share their information with any doctor in the system for a consultation.
Furthermore, in today's digital world, patients take an active part in their medical journey. 84% of patients use online sources for research before visiting a hospital. They use self tracking devices and wearables such as Fitbit or Apple watch to measure their compliance with a treatment. These new devices make it possible to record, store and share medical information about patients in real time. Digital innovations are changing patients' behavior in the healthcare landscape. Yet medical records generated by doctors remain stored in a traditional way and only allow patients a limited access to the data. Furthermore, patients tend to visit multiple doctors in their lifetime. Medical records and test results from different physicians are often stored in incompatible databases. Today reconciling medical data among clinics, labs, pharmacies and insurance companies does not work well. For example, it can be unclear which medication patients were prescribed and which medication they are actually taking.
This lack of data sharing costs 150 000 lives and $18.6 billion per year, according to Premier Healthcare Alliance. Blockchain technology can solve this alarming problem. Blockchain can place patients at the center of the healthcare ecosystem, increase security, privacy and interoperability of health data.
This is where HubBlockchain comes in
Blockchain was originally designed as a ledger for financial transactions. These transactions are stored on append-only (only add, never remove or change), immutable and time-stamped blocks that can only be accessed using a private key. However, not only financial transactions can be stored on the blockchain. If we stored medical records on the blockchain, we could add all updates on medication to an open and trusted source. As a result, medical records would be up to date, well understood, and accessible for all stakeholders, patients, hospitals, pharmacies, insurance companies, etc. The outcome of this would be well reconciled medical data and the elimination of manual human intervention. Patients would stay in control of their medical records and have the ability to grant access to other healthcare stakeholders. In this way, we could address diseases in time, prevent loss of life, and minimize unnecessary healthcare expenses.

OK, since Willy completely destroyed the spirit of the board by posting a spoiler that there will be a long MM story soon (LOL!!!) let me ask something. MM stirs up many intense feelings on both sides of the fence. She's either loved or hated. I'm almost completely in the middle regarding her but truth be told my feelings lean 51% against her. Can anyone give me a reason to switch MM sides? (Does anyone care? LOL!)•

WASHINGTON -- The man who died after setting himself on fire on the National Mall on Friday has been identified as John Constantino, 64, of Mt. Laurel, N.J., police said.
"His death was not a political act or statement but the result of his long battle with mental illness," his family said in a statement released to news media by attorney Jeffrey Cox. They did not release any details of his illness.
Family members said they were "shocked and deeply saddened" by the death of their "loving father and husband."
Witnesses said they saw Constantino pour gasoline over himself and light himself on fire after saluting the Capitol. Four or five men rushed to his aid and used their shirts to try to put out the flames.
Constantino was airlifted to a hospital with severe burns and died several hours later.
In the statement, family members said they "would like to acknowledge the heroism of the paramedics and bystanders who attempted to save his life."
Describing the incident as a "personal family matter and not an issue of public concern," the family asked that the media respect its request for privacy.

What does homeschooling mean to us?
My daughter turns 3 a month from now and is eager to go to school, eager to do activities without mum there, I am not sure why? She does not have that many friends that go to school. So far with the exception of the 10 days I was in Maine taking the LIFEWAYS early education program she has ever been part of an organized program alone, together we have been taking the" Music Together" program.
So what does homeschooling mean to us............This fall we have a morning poem which we recite every morning. We do a simple "circle time" we recite the poem "Little Autumn", and then tell a simple story using props, often finger puppets. We usually work on the same story for a week.....often we begin very simply and may add more to the story. For example presently we are telling the "Little Red Hen" we began with the Tomie dePaola version included in the Tomies Three Bears and other Tales
and with every telling I might add a few more words and concepts while sticking with the simple outline. We will probably end with making a loaf of bread.
Other stories I plan on telling this month are The Autumn Story (from Autumn by Wynstone Press) and the Giant Turnip (also from Autumn) and Mother Earths Children from Juniper Puppets Autumn Tales
I like to have one or two handwork projects going often making things for the Nature Table. This season I want to make her a needle felted mushroom person and a pumpkin person. I also want to knit her a hat from The Childrens Year: Crafts & Clothes for Children and Parents to Make to work on my knitting skills.
We also talk about changes on our nature table...this reflects what is going on outside. We try take a Nature walk every day.
We have about 5 books going a month which are usually seasonal. Right now we are reading Little Mouse Big Red Apple,
Our Apple Tree by Gorel Kristina Naslund
When the Wind Stops by Charlotte Zolotow , And last years favorite Now It's Fall by Lois Lenski
We also like to have one book going that is somehow related to Tibet as Zoe is half Tibetan, our favorite so far is All the Way to Lhasa: A Tale from Tibet by Barbara Berger
I usually have a list of craft projects that I want to focus on for the season: leaf people, leaf prints, acorn people, introducing wet on wet painting in one color, making a gingerbread house (I have never done this before). I am also trying to spend time with Zoe introducing games that she can play alone nearby while I work (wonderboard magnetic shapes puzzle, Haba's color pegs game, and selectas Giraffe Game, and after her birthday Varialand). She has plenty of independent playtime indoors and out of door and some playdates. We have a meal time Blessing that we recite and an end of day Blessing.
Other than these we do food related projects this month making pesto, apple sauce, pies and freezing peaches. Other than these activities we have our domestic chores Zoe feeds Ashley the cat and Annabelle the Angora bunny!).
At her request tomorrow she begins a weekly Little Tykes dance/gymnastics class. I am mixed about it, but I figure I'll have a better idea after watching a class.
I am working on creating more rhythmn around our activities, that seems to be my challenge as a self employed single mom. My other challenge is keeping the kitchen clean and the fridge organized! I am working of a weekly breakfast and dinner schedule integrating some of Steiners 7 Grain philosophy. As much as I love food and have enjoyed cooking and creating meals this part of parenting has OVERWHELMED me.
