Patient problem solving
I recently read a piece by D Pearcy called "Reflections on Patient Problem Solving", from Mathematics Teaching 247. It was an interesting article that looks at how teachers need to allow time for students to try their own ideas out while problem solving, rather than just coax them along in a "this is how I would do it" kind of way.
Pearcy's definition of problem solving is looking at something you have never encountered before that is difficult and frustrating at times, takes a reasonable amount of time, can be solved more than one way and can be altered or extended upon easily. He then goes on to ask whether this is actually happening in classes or if teachers are just walking students through problems, rather than allowing them to problem solve.
He quotes Lockhart (2009) – "A good problem is one you don't know how to solve" and states that it follows that if you give hints then it defeats the point of setting problems. He goes on to say that maths advocates talk of the importance of maths as a tool to problem solving – but that this isn't actually happening if students are not being allowed to get frustrated and struggle through to a solution.
He explains how he finds it difficult not to give hints when students are struggling, both because it is in most teachers nature to help, and because of the external pressure to get through the syllabus quickly. This is something I too have encountered and something I have become increasingly aware of as I try to allow time for struggle. Other factors at play are maintaining interest, and increasing confidence. If we let students struggle too much they may lose interest and confidence in their ability – thus it is important to strike a balance between allowing the struggle but not letting it go too far. This is certainly something I keep in mind during lessons, and I feel it is something that we all should be aware of when planning and teaching.
This is an interesting article that looks at a specific problem and allowing students time to struggle and persist. This importance of this is paramount, in my view, and this is also the view expressed by the author of the article. I find it very hard to not offer hints and guidance when students are struggling. One way I manage to combat this at times is by setting problems I haven't solved yet, thus leaving me a task to complete at the same time. This can work well, particularly at A Level and Further Maths level as then I can take part in the discussion with the students almost as a peer. This is a technique I have used often with my post 16 classes this year.
I have been reading a lot about problem solving recently, and a recurring theme is that teachers can often stifle the problem solving they are hoping to encourage by not allowing it to take place. This is something we need to be aware of, we need to have the patience to allow students the time to try out their ideas and to come up with solutions or fall into misconceptions that can then be addressed.J
Have you read this article? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Have you read anything else on problem solving recently? I'd love you to send be the links if you have and also send me your thoughts. Also, what does problem solving look like in your classroom? Do you find it a struggle not to help? I'd love to hear in the comments or via social media.

Exactly what s/he said^^^^
In a lesson, when they can't work it out within ten minutes or so they give up and start talking off task with the attitude, "Well we're getting nowhere and you won't help us…"
Send them home with it and the next day there will be a queue of them with notes in their planners from parents requiring that you help them with it. Parents view homework as something they should be able to achieve unless you're a rubbish teacher. The ones not in the queue to show you their note from home may well have had it done for them by their tutor, or a family member.

Actually, I must dust off my copy of "8 days a week" for my Y7 for next year and keep on fighting the good fight. I'm just feeling a bit jaded at the moment 🙂

Elizabethtown, NC – The County of Bladen and Bladen County Health Department is pleased to announce that it has received a grant in the amount of $157,520 to provide funding to complete an Opioid Task Force Strategic Plan from the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The strategic plan will provide efficient direction for opioid
treatment and education.
Bladen County Board of Commissioners Chairman Charles R. Peterson, who also serves as chairman of the Bladen County Opioid Task Force, stated that "the grant award to fund a strategic plan will create a more efficient process, which will provide other opportunities for those affected by the opioid crisis.
The Bladen County Opioid Task Force, established in the fall of 2017, is made up of commissioners, other elected officials, healthcare and mental health providers, clergy, and community leaders. The Task Force has met consistently since that time and progress has been realized. A local Christian-based substance abuse facility, Southeastern Carolina Crossroads, has benefited from the Task Force efforts.Share:

Calendar of the Manuscripts of the Most Honourable the Marquess of Salisbury: Preserved at Hatfield House, Hertfordshire
Calendar of the Manuscripts of the Most Honourable the Marquess of Salisbury: Preserved at Hatfield House, Hertfordshire
This second and final volume of Addenda comprises documentary material covering the years from the creation of Robert Cecil as 1st Earl of Salisbury in 1605 to the death of his son William, the second Earl, in 1668. It also brings to an end the Calendar of Salisbury MSS at Hatfield House, of which the first volume appeared in 1883.
Petitions form the main body of the material published in this, as in the preceding, volume. It has already been observed that their value as primary documentary sources is strictly limited. Nevertheless, they do provide a certain amount of circumstantial evidence concerning domestic events during this period.
The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 had drawn the more militant and desperate elements within the Catholic community into the open, and its failure had enabled the Government to eradicate them as a potential threat to internal security.By the execution of Henry Garnett, the Jesuit superior of the English province, on a charge of conniving at the conspiracy, it had also conveniently removed the one man whose character and scholarship had not only fortified the resistance of his co-religionists, but had inclined many people to become converts to the Catholic faith.Physical elimination had been followed by legislative retribution. The penal laws against recusants were enforced with greater vigour and enlarged so as to bring their women folk within the range of their penalties. A new oath of allegiance was imposed which, while permitting the Catholics to acknowledge the Pope as their spiritual father, denied him the right to release them from their obedience to James 1 as their temporal king.With public opinion applauding this policy of repression, and with the threat of treason and its obscene punishments hanging over its head, the Catholic minority, it was assumed, would soon become cowed and submissive, and cease to be a problem to the authorities.
This, however, was far from being the case. On the contrary, the years following the Gunpowder Plot showed that the recusants had lost none of their resoluteness, and that their adherence to their faith was as unyielding as ever.But they were cautious enough not to lay themselves open to a charge of treasonable . . .

Cape Town - Ahead of the Singapore GP on Sunday, Mercedes principal Toto Wolff says he expects Red Bull to be their main rival for pole position.
Despite their best efforts, the Silver Arrows were unable to derail Ferrari and Charles Leclerc as the 21-year-old claimed back-to-back wins at Spa and Monza.
However, Formula 1 now heads to the Marina Bay Street Circuit, and the twisty, technical circuit under the bright lights is expected to shift the balance of power back in Mercedes and Red Bull's favour.
Wolff is excited to find out if his team are "demolishing" Red Bull at a circuit where the Austrian outfit expect to be strong, but Mercedes don't want to write Ferrari off just yet even though the track is unlikely to suit their low downforce model.
"We knew that Spa and Monza would be difficult for us," Wolff told . "On paper, we should be strong in Singapore - as should Red Bull be. Let's see if we are really demolishing them there.
"But I have no doubt that Ferrari will have learned and will have a good package there, better than Hungary."
Leclerc has stated already though that he expects Ferrari to struggle around the streets of Singapore.
"We need to stay realistic," he insisted."I think we expected that Spa and Monza would be very good races for our car but we also know that the next few races will be a lot more difficult for our car.
"It's not going to be easy. especially Singapore. I think it will be a nice surprise if we are better than what we expect - but what we expect - is to struggle there."

Unplanned Life Changes in Omaha, NE – 2018
You may or may not be well-versed in the wisdom bestowed upon us by Greek philosopher Heraclitus, but he is best known for his doctrine of change being central to the universe. Through various translations, what you likely do recognize is the most popular paraphrased version, "The only thing that is constant is change."
That's life, folks. We're all familiar.
Change can be positive, negative or neutral – and it can start out as one but end up shifting to another as time goes on. Sometimes change is intentional and as such, planned for in advance. You're prepared for what's ahead. Perhaps you're excited, hopeful, or you begrudgingly know it's what must be done and have made the decision to address whatever it is proactively. You may or may not be ready, but you're prepared nonetheless.
Other times, something happens unexpectedly and changes in your life happen as a result. Although in this scenario there are going to be things out of your control, what you can control is how you react.
Is it really possible to plan for the unplanned changes in life? Absolutely. By familiarizing yourself with the resources that are available, especially those at the local level here in your community, you'll be doing your future self a huge favor. Furthermore, taking certain precautionary actions will help immensely in the event of the relatively unexpected occurring.
You can choose to be empowered by getting things in place that will allow your future self to act in a way that you would regardless of how a situation comes about. This way, at the very least, you'll be able to confidently approach the first step you'll take moving forward when you're facing change and uncertainty ahead.
This is especially true for changes that you can anticipate to some extent, such as those that come along with the aging process.
"As we all know, life can change very quickly and unexpectedly," says Kyle Johnson with Care Consultants for the Aging. "In my line of work, lack of preparation is something I see often and it can present a number of problems for people depending on the circumstances.
As we all age, life just becomes more difficult. People who are more understanding and aware of their personal care changes are the ones who seem to do best when sudden changes occur.
With our services at Care Consultants for the Aging, we are set up to help seniors who have gone through life-changing events such as sudden loss of independence due to a medical incident, loss of a spouse or just the reality of life becoming too difficult to do alone.
I would advise any senior who lives alone to make sure they have plans in place for sudden life-changing events. The biggest one is having a person who comes to check in on them from time to time. It's okay to ask for help. There are many professionals in the industry who have solutions to help keep seniors independent for as long as possible. For example, with the assistance of a private caregiver in the home, it helps a person retain the highest level of independence possible. Don't resist the help when sudden changes do occur.
Please visit our website at OmahaHandbook.com to view our ElderCare Resource Handbook. This is a great tool available for free to help you find resources in your area."
When a person is faced with making decisions that involve drastic changes to the lifestyle to which they are accustomed, it can ultimately feel like being forced to choose the best of the worst. Venturing into the unknown is scary, and the older a person gets, the more difficult it can be to adapt, especially as a result of being caught off-guard by something unexpected.
"For many of my clients, at the very beginning of our relationship, they are dealing with the realization that they are no longer able to care for themselves," says Jim Laughlin with Home Nursing With Heart. "It's tough, for some more so than for others. In many cases, at the same time, they are also coming to grips with the fact that there is little or no family member involvement to help them. Finding out you are truly alone in this world at a time when major changes are occurring is undoubtedly a traumatic experience. For these people, the support of care providers and access to resources that are there to help them is vital.
It's also quite common for us to be brought into situations where the family has just realized that an elderly loved one needs immediate intervention. They may have just discovered the person's living conditions have deteriorated far past where it had been the last time they had visited, or the extent of which dementia or a health condition has progressed over time. The senior may simply just not be able to keep up and need help staying on top of things or it could potentially be something more serious. The cause that needs to be addressed is likely diminished physical and/or mental capacity, and the severity along with the underlying issues will largely determine the course of action moving forward.
At Home Nursing With Heart, when we identify any of these types of situations, we send out our medical social worker to educate on any and all of the services available to them. We also work with companion care and placement services to help the patient navigate these situations to the best of their ability. Involving as many resources as possible is the only way we can help.
At the same time, the family may come to find out that their loved one's finances are no longer able to cover basic needs, let alone necessary medical care, and assistance is desperately needed. We also commonly encounter clients who do not have a power of attorney (POA) designated, which presents certain challenges as well.
Establishing a POA allows the decision-making process to be much more timely and effective. If you haven't done that, I strongly encourage it – and it's not a bad idea to have it in place before you feel it's needed for whatever reason. It's also important to figure out what the financial picture looks like so you can make timely decisions on how long the money will last and what happens after that.
We're always happy to educate on any number of related topics, which might include long-term care insurance options and what is covered or the progression of dementia and the changes to watch for as that happens."
For those in their golden years, with respect to the most common scenarios that would result in unplanned changes that have already been mentioned, the outcome will vary depending on the individual and the circumstances. This might involve short-stay rehabilitation, extended rehabilitation, in-home care and possibly home modifications, or a move to a smaller home, to live with a family member or to be nearby your support system, or to an independent, assisted, or skilled care residence.
"We typically see patients after an injury, and that injury can potentially be life altering," says Katie Van Boskirk with Brookestone Meadows Rehabilitation & Care Center. "Many of our patients receive therapy services, regain their independence and return to their prior level of function. However, some patients are not able to regain their independence and have to consider alternative living options. Moving from their own homes can be very challenging. As a social worker, I assist patients and families with navigating the healthcare continuum and provide education on various levels of care and community resources. It's my hope that we'll be able to plan for these changes before the end of their stay nears to help alleviate some of the stress for both the patients and their families.
As for other stressors, finances are the biggest hurdle we usually run up against. A lot of individuals never thought that they would live as long as they have and therefore haven't planned their finances accordingly. Furthermore, this population didn't plan on having to have to spend thousands of dollars monthly because of a life-changing event. Finding the funds to help support them can often be a challenge. We're able to assist with educating our clients on Medicaid, Medicaid Waiver, Spousal Impoverishment, and VA benefits.
We have knowledge of many different companies that offer services to seniors. When discharging from a rehabilitation facility, don't be afraid to ask questions. We can help you find the resources you need."
She also notes, "In general, it's always good to have a Plan B and to be open to change. Also, having paperwork in order such as a Living Will and Power of Attorney is beneficial. This is applicable to everyone, not just seniors. The aging process can be difficult in and of itself, so educating yourself on the options that are available is key."
With an unexpected event such as an injury, illness, or death of a loved one that requires a senior to move, it can be a truly tough time. For that person, it can already feel like they are losing so much, so if there's not been any previous downsizing to prepare it's not exactly the best time to start getting rid of a bunch of stuff they've gathered over a lifetime. Instead, consider utilizing a storage facility for the time being so that it's more of a gradual process and there's not such a sense of urgency in making those decisions, which could exacerbate an already stressful situation.
This could also hold true for a number of other unexpected events that would in some instances require a move, such as military deployment, displacement due to an emergency situation, separation or divorce, and so on.
Knowing your treasured belongings are safe and secure at least offers a little peace of mind in times of uncertainty and change.
When responding to an unexpected event, it's important for everyone involved to get on the same page, coordinating your efforts in dealing with whatever comes next. Since that is easier said than done, it is helpful to have an experienced professional to guide the process and help you make decisions together.
"No one is capable of predicting what happens in the immediate future and when a medical crisis hits, most often panic is the first response," says Mary Ann Stallings with Bridge to Better Living. "Everyone in the family wants the best for their loved one, but they may all want a different 'best.' There may be multiple calls from well-intentioned people and even the communities become confused as to who belongs to whom. It is best to contact Bridge to Better Living and have a personal liaison to take the stress and confusion from the situation. We transition the loved one from Point A to Point B in whatever time frame is necessary. By applying our knowledge and resources, we are always thinking ahead and putting the puzzle pieces together.
Bridge to Better Living encourages being proactive and contacting us to look at possibilities before a crisis. Establishing a plan for the future with an expert helps 'myth-bust' views from potentially unreliable sources and aids in envisioning appropriate communities.
Bridge to Better Living is capable of handling many types of situations when a move is required due to a medical event. We have access to a number of resources and maintain current knowledge of availability, services and community contacts. Bridge to Better Living first assesses the client, their needs, wants, and lifestyle. After considering the possibilities, we reach out to appropriate communities. The family is always informed and it is not unusual to schedule a tour or placement in minimal time. Bridge to Better Living follows our clients through not only the research step but the move-in too. Should life changes necessitate another move after several years, we are already involved with the family and are able to quickly navigate the process.
Whatever the case may be, please know that Bridge to Better Living is here for you. If you are even beginning to ponder the 'what ifs,' give us a call. We look forward to having a conversation with you. Bridge to Better Living's mission is Placement with Passion. It may take 5 years or 5 days, but regardless, we want our clients to be empowered to make informed decisions when choosing a Retirement Living option, whether it is Independent, Assisted, Memory Assisted or Long-Term Care. Our services are completely free to the client. We care."
In closing, she too emphasizes, "Plan ahead. Don't hesitate to take the first step. Use a reliable service with a good reputation, one such as Bridge to Better Living."
Ultimately, we live in a time where planning for our senior years is best done well in advance – it's truly never too early. As we approach and enter our senior years, there will no doubt be game-changers, and there will be an unexpected curveball or two thrown into the rotation. You might not have all the answers, but you can find them, and those who have a plan are in a much better position than those who don't.
As yet another example of an unplanned life event that brings change, death, while something that "comes to us all," can come at any time and in any manner. Our time in this world is limited, so we must be as intentional as possible in making the most of it. Loss, and how one person's life will change as a result of being touched by another, is all a part of that precious gift of life.
Of course, we all know that death is certain at some point – but even with that being the case, many are not very well prepared for that eventuality.
One of the best ways to address the "unplanned change" of the eventuality of death is to plan for it. That may seem like a bit of an oxymoron, but just as you plan for your education, your wedding, your family's financial security, and retirement, you should also plan for your end of life living, and for your eventual death. Have your end of life health care wishes in place – in writing and reviewed by your attorney. As previously mentioned, name a Power of Attorney for healthcare and for finances, have a will and estate plan in place, but also plan for (and preferably fund) your funeral. All of these things save your loved ones time, money, and emotional strain during the first few days following your death.
Most people in their 40s and 50s are beginning to think about retirement – and many in their 30s are even starting to plan ahead. One big piece of those plans should be to have your funeral arrangements in place, and a plan for prepaying the expenses.
Oftentimes, families are confronted with the question of how their loved one wanted to be remembered, particularly when death is unexpected. One thing that can help address some of the loss and confusion is to plan ahead.
While many people think of a funeral home being available to assist only at the time of death, in reality, planning ahead saves everyone a lot of time, energy and resources.
"Death is inevitable, but is a topic that is often difficult to talk about before it happens," says Greg Nabity with Nebraska Cremation. "It is important to let your close family members know what your wishes are regarding how you would like your death to be handled. As previously mentioned, this can include advance directives for your healthcare during a final illness, and also the location of documents, whether you wish to be cremated or buried, and what type of remembrance services you want to be held.
At Nebraska Cremation, we are uniquely qualified to assist you with making your wishes known. Or, we are able to guide you through the experience of an unexpected death, providing wise counsel, comfort, and guidance that will help you to best handle the situation.
When navigating any of life's unplanned changes, always seek the help of professionals who are experienced and equipped to provide information, guidance, and services that will make things much easier."
For those facing a health condition that is terminal, hospice care can be incredibly beneficial as well. Due to the unpredictable nature of terminal illness, it is something that can be expediently set up, with a very small window of time necessary to get a support system in place. That being the case, as a result of a devastating unplanned diagnosis, it's the best possible plan to have moving forward.
All throughout life, a person will face life-changing events, some expected and others unexpected. Later in life especially, there are distinct changes in both categories. Hope for the best, plan for the worst, and be mindful of the professionals who can help you, high points and low points alike. There's little as valuable as having a strong support network to call on when needed, especially in dealing with life's unplanned changes.

Introduction: My Take As a Dad
I believe it's only natural to think occasionally about our own death. But to think about everyone's impending destruction? Well yes, that's right! I think about it all the time.
I'm clearly not alone in this thought train; am I ready? What will I do? What will my neighbors do? What might they do to or for me and mine?
Just look at all the books, movies, blogs, media of all sorts based on this subject. Most mainstream religions have an end of the world in their teachings. Not to mention this contest:)
I've concluded that mental and physical prepping is the most likely thing to help us through to the other side. What ever it may be.
"Teotwawki" (for those who don't know, the end of the world as we know it), will also be the beginning of a new thing. I hope in an apocalypse scenario its a good thing, my research leads my to believe that in the end it will be a wonderful thing, for those who survive.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Prepare Your Soul
Face it. Some day you will die. All the prepping in the world won't change that fact of life. What ever your religion, or lack there of, that fact is unavoidable.
Prepare yourself for what comes after. I suggest the Holy Bible. I've found it true and highly comforting. Here's link:
I'm aware that this is controversial, but as your a user of this wonderful resource INSTRUCTABLES, you may want the ultimate instruction manual for living too
Step 2: Prepare Your Body
Dental up to date
Vaccines up to date, don't forget tetanus shot
Regular check ups
Exercise vigorously at least 2x a week for 30 mins.
Do all of the above for and with your family as well.
Step 3: Prepare Your Skill Set
First aid training is usually free or very low cost.
And for those of you across the pond:
Also youtube is an invaluable source.
I've learned to set a figure 4 deadfall trap for small game, how to make a fire with no matches, ect.
Practice regularly.
Camping is great venue to practice your skill sets.
Step 4: What Else Can I Say?
Get to it, have fun. Get ready because something is surely coming.
Thanks for viewing my heart on this matter.
If you like what I've instructed, feel free to let me know, also vote:)

This is great! Most people don't take parenthood seriously enough. You need a license to do just about anything in this world, even fishing, but anyone can create a child and bring it into the world. Nice to see someone who thinks it is more of a gift than a right.
We voted for you! Great job!
And remember you won't die untill GOD says so.

LK 130Mobile MDs: improving patient care through mobile

Capabilities of mobile devices on the qualitative improvement of patient care currently largely considered only in the form of patient-patient and patient-physician communications. The potential role of mobile devices in communications between physicians and opportunities to improve the quality of health services through mobile devices are significantly undervalued.
4 years ago a team of young doctors and programmers from Russia created a social platform for Russian-speaking doctors called "Doktornarabote" (Doctor at work) Now this network of more than 135 000 verified physicians holds first place in the world on a daily audience among all social networks for physicians (source: Alexa.com, April 2013).
Russia has one of the largest number of doctors in the world and is a leader in the number of higher medical educational institutions. However, it is believed that doctors in Russia are not enough "advanced" in matters of computers and mobile devices. And that makes this team's experience of launching mobile apps for physicians in Russia even more beneficial. This experience can be used as an example of the importance of mobile devices for work and education of physicians.
From 2010 to 2013 the mobile audience of Doktornarabote.ru has risen from 0.01% to 40% and is still growing. Every month 5% of all Russian doctors use Doktornarabote's mobile apps to treat their patients better. According to the authors, such a significant involvement of doctors in the exchange of experience through mobile devices is an exceptional example for the world.
Why do Russian doctors so actively use mobile applications to exchange experience and discuss difficult cases of patients? Can the example of mobile Russian doctors be applied to the U.S.?
Both in Russia and in the U.S. media consumption has changed. Physicians tend to more frequently use online sources for medical news and exchange of experience that effect their practice. 70% of Doktornarabote's audience use the site during working hours while they are seeing patients and prescribing. Mobile devices are extremely more convenient and familiar way to work with information in the turmoil of physician's working day than PC or laptop.
Mobile devices allow doctors to share information "on the fly": make video recordings, send photos, share voice recordings.
Mobile applications have also started to change the communications between producers of medicines and doctors in Russia. 15% of Russian doctors prefer to receive information and ask questions directly at the moment of necessity of such data - via their mobile devices where Doktornarabote's mobile app is installed. Mobile app is a new, but significantly more effective way to engage and educate physicians than the traditional channels.
All this ways of communications are 100% compliant with all Russian (and most US's and European's) laws.
Stanislav Sazhin is Founder and CEO of DoctorAtWork.com, a network of 150 000+ Russian-speaking physicians. He is also the winner of the 2011 Russian contests, Startup of the Year and Young Media Entrepreneur of the Year. Stanislav is a web developer and blogger living in Moscow, Russia.

In the early years of my interest in the dispensational interpretation of Bible prophecy I was captivated by the possibility that Ezekiel 38-39 predicted an imminent war against the modern state of Israel. Most of us are familiar with this prophecy, which predicts an alliance of nations coming against "My people Israel," who have been regathered from the nations back to their homeland.
In my book Red Moon Rising my timeline hinged on connecting the events in Ezekiel 38-39 with the Rapture and the beginning of the Day of the Lord as I saw described in Revelation by the sixth Seal and first four Trumpet judgments. The parallels are there and it does seem clear that John the Revelator made conscious use of the apocalyptic descriptions found in Ezekiel 38-39. However, over the years as my study of the New Testament has deepened my faith in the literalistic dispensational model has been almost entirely shattered. I now recognize that the best interpreters of the Old Testament "kingdom" prophecies are the writers of the New Testament, and Jesus and the Apostles simply do not hold to the literalistic view upheld by dispensationalists. I now view the great sweep of the Bible's end-times predictions more like one great parable, meant to obscure the truth just as much is it is meant to reveal the truth to sincere seekers (see Matthew 13:10-17). I am far from arriving at a dogmatic and precise view of the future such as I once held, but I do believe that I am on the right track when I connect the Great End-Time Parable with the biblical predictions of a New Exodus.
What if Jesus Christ Himself is recognized as our best Teacher of what will take place during the "End Times"? What if we made His Word our foundation, and then moved forward carefully from there? This is the position taken by Dean Davis in his book The High King of Heaven. He comes from an amillennial perspective but he shows how this is supported by the very words of Jesus. Does this mean I have completely adopted the amillennial view? No, the amillennial view is not without problems, so I don't think I can say that. It simply means that I am no longer smug and self-assured about what I think the Bible teaches about the future. I am humble enough to expand my horizons and to give an honest look at interpretations that I once completely dismissed without a second thought, such as amillennialism.
I must say that dispensationalism, as a package, does make sense if you can accept the underlying assumptions. In the same sense amillennialism makes sense. Yet it is hard for me to completely dismiss a future earthly millennium or a future seven year tribulation. I'm still working it out…
Consider once again the predictions of Ezekiel 38-39. If we simply allow the New Testament to place this event on our future timeline many of us will arrive at the same position that is now held by Bible prophecy scholar Chris White. He says that these events must take place at the end of the earthly millennium according to Revelation 20:7-9.
Back in the 1980s and 90s it was widely taught that Ezekiel 38-39 must be pre-millennial. But that was before the Wall was built surrounding the West Bank. Here is a picture of the town of Bethlehem today:
This modern-day reality in Israel, combined with the continuous cycle of Jewish/Palestinian violence, completely contradicts any possible near-term fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39.
Ezekiel 38:10-16 "Thus says the Lord GOD: On that day, thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme (11) and say, 'I will go up against the land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,' (12) to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and the people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell at the center of the earth. … (14) "Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord GOD: On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know it? (15) You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army. (16) You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.
I know that there are many good bible scholars who do their best to explain away the present reality in Israel and still maintain a belief in the imminent fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39. But I cannot. Forget it, the facts on the ground are simply too concrete.
Yet for me the whole thing remains an enigma, because I also recognize that the post-millennial view of Ezekiel 38-39 has major problems as well. But I am fine with that!
Perhaps those of us who have been captivated by "End Times" must pass through a period of LESS clarity on end-times events before we can receive the wisdom of God that will lead us to the truth.

Sometimes I marvel that any musician can perform even adequately at the Groove on Grove gig. Hordes of commuters and pedestrians pass through the space, few of them bother to listen to the music. And, a lot of people lingering and supposedly there to enjoy the music can't stop blabbing to each other. The din from the vehicular traffic doesn't help the situation. I had to move around to get within decent earshot and away from the compulsive chatterers, but in the end I was glad I did. Kelly Saint Patrick, who is a proprietor of Alley Cat Gallery (last seen here) was performing. Her singing deftly melds the cool with the emotional. Her voice mainly flutters along the higher register then easily shifts from the delicate to full throated brass. She was able to create and sustain a mood of melancholy romance with a female folk-rock smoothness reminiscent of the Lilith-Fair, post-Suzanne Vega, 90s iteration of the genre. The set began with an astute showcase for KSP's voice, Cindy Lauper's sublime Time After Time. Accompanied by a guitarist, drummer and keyboard player on a set of mainly self-penned tunes, she was able to express the emotion of love and heartbreak. Most of the numbers had a jazzy inflection and a near-lounge music lilt, although the ensemble displayed the chops to rock out. One song aptly negotiated a Bo Diddly beat, and they superbly rocked out on the Lady Antebellum hit, "Need You Now." Groove on Grove bands often play covers, but this was the first time I could recall a current hit being reprised. Mid-set, KSP performed a mini-acoustic set, a brave move considering all the ambient noise of the GOG setting. Yet she sustained the sweetly melancholic mood against the odds. Her guitar playing was pointed, but spare. These songs had a more subtle agenda emotion-wise, exploring the oft painful ambiguities of romantic love—"I don't know what I would do without you, all I know is that I should…" a clear-eyed notion about empowerment—survival is not without its sadness, and sadness should not be feared. The over-bearing humidity of the days prior had dissipated and the weather turned windy. I noticed a lot more people lingering at the end of the set than the beginning. I wasn't sure of the story being told, but the emotions expressed had universal appeal and the summer breeze reminded everyone of the recently departed spring.

With the turn of the century, I graduated from inland letter cards to email; from landlines to mobiles; and from social visits to social media. Now, I am one of those who take pride in collecting "Likes" and "Comments" on facebook; on being the originator of discussion trails on WhatsApp; hash-tagging anything and everything on Twitter &c. In short, I would like to be known as a social media bug, rather than be called a slave to it, although both epithets are one and the same.
Reclining on the sofa after a long day, what is the first source of entertainment that I reach out for? - My smart-phone, of course. Four notifications against the Facebook icon give my spirits that much-needed fillip (I cannot imagine the depths to which they would have fallen had I seen none). On opening the application, my heart takes a leap as I see a friend request from a beautiful lady. But she is not someone I ever knew, not a friend of any one of my friends, and with a profile which is nondescript. Another of those fakes! My rising excitement sank like a stone in still water. I ignored the request. I scrolled through the other notifications: two likes for my recent post, birthdays for two of my friends and a group post. I am interested only in the "Likes". But only two Likes? For a post which filled me with pride and self-admiration only a few hours ago? I am disappointed, and my self-esteem slightly deflated. Then I shake it off with a touch of disdain: "why should I care for anybody's appreciation anyway?" Scrolling through the innumerable new posts from my innumerable "friends", some of whom I cannot even recall ever meeting or interacting with in my life, I look for flippancy and mediocrity in the posts of others in a bid to convince myself of the superiority of erudition of my opinions, and thereby reassert myself in my own eyes. By and by, I come across the occasional post which does stimulate my interest, and sometimes even my admiration, but I refrain from clicking "Like" it or commenting on it just because that "friend" does not ever "Like" my posts. By the same principle, I impulsively click on "Like" for a post or comment which I would have otherwise dismissed as inane, stupid or irrelevant, but for the fact that this post belongs to a friend who regularly likes MY posts
This relationship of reciprocity has become the defining feature of friendships on social media, very similar to actual friendships in the physical world. Accordingly, as in societal relationships, in social media too objectivity and reason gives way to personal attachments in creating and sustaining friendship. There are many of our close relations who reside in the same city as us, and have resided thus for a long time now. Yet, some among them have moved farther from our lives than the most distant of lesser friends, owing to lack of reciprocity. I cannot convince my mother to visit her childhood friend who lives at a stone's throw from our house. She is adamant that she will not make another visit until her visit last year is returned with a visit by that friend to our house. And until that happens, any news relating to that friend, barring that of the most catastrophic nature, will be anathema for my mother. But things will reverse most dramatically once that much awaited "visit" happens.
In today's world, social media reflects the state of our relationships with the outside world. I can boast of tens of friends on my Facebook profile, but cannot say with confidence how many are actual friends. Every "Like" and comment on a post is a "visit" which is expected to be returned in kind, and until that is done, all further "visits" from the other party can well be discounted. So, in a profile with, say, hundred friends, it may be possible to keep visiting only about ten or twenty all the time, and so that's what we are left with in the end. The others may well not care whether we remain their friends or not. To be the popular friend with an ever-buzzing social media drawing room, we must keep "Liking", whether we actually like or not, just as we must call upon each of our friends once in a while, whether we have the time or appetite for it.
So the evening, like every other, ends with the mind still full of it, and I go to bed with my dear device still awake beside me, letting in more visitors through the night. Come morning, my fluttering eyelids will invariably open first into the drawing room to see how many visitors are in waiting, and the start to the day would be made or unmade by that number.
It is tough work being a socialite, even if it is just on the phone!

|Men Are From Picon…
|Ramiro takes Greje's offer to speak with Eve
|Related Logs:
Dane had forwarded ahead a request to meet with Eve at Greje's request. Having spent the better part of his morning trying to study for the OCS exams, Ramiro checks his watch multiple times before the time comes. Offduty now, he heads to Eve's office and lightly knocks on the door at the scheduled time.
Eve pulls open the hatch herself, instead of merely shouting for him to enter, a pleasant but oddly smoothed out smile is on her features. Its her professional mask of neutrality. Love it, hate it. "Ensign Ramiro. Getting used to being called that, yet?" She motions in to the interior of her office, already indicating the couch and that he should come in.
"A little bit…" Dane smiles to her, stepping inside. Taking a quick look around, he looks back to her as he turns and stands beside the couch. He'll sit when she does. "…it's stranger getting saluted in the hallways by my old fellow enlisted, but I'm adjusting." He pauses. "How are you?"
Eve presses her lips together slightly. "I'm well." It sounds a bit pinched however. "I have coffee, if you'd like. Decaf, though, I'm afraid." She offers, before they get down to the knuts and bolts of things.
"Yeah, yeah sure…do you want me to prepare it?" Dane asks, lifting his eyebrows a little bit in an attempt to try to be accomodating. He lets out a slow breath. "I've…never really seen a psychiatrist before other than a psych eval…how does this work? Do I just…" He shrugs. "…spill it all out and we try to put the pieces together? I warn…I'm…in a bit of a pickle."
Eve gives a slight shake of her head, and moves to pour to cups. "I hope you take it black." Because most everyone does, and luxuries like sweetener are harder to find than the coffee, which is saying a lot. She makes her way back over with the mugs in hand, offering one to Ramiro before easing into her old familiar chair. There. Now he can sit. "We just talk. Its that simple. Where ever you'd like to begin, Dane."
Taking the cup of coffee, Dane sits down and chooses not to recline on the couch. Blowing into the cup to cool it off just a little, he stares into it for a long moment. "Recently Lex and I submitted a request to get married due to my mustanging…" He pauses. "…I keep going back and forth between wanting to do it and not wanting to do it." He looks in her direction. "But it's either get married or say goodbye. How can someone make that distinction so quickly?"
Eve takes a sip of her coffee, not yet reaching for her pad of paper and pen. "The military law is pretty finite in the regards to fraternization. Acception for one, and they'll have to make acceptions for all. You could have turned down the commission in order for you to explore your relationship. Why did you make the choice you did?"
"Because the war is more important than my personal life." Dane replies fairly confidently. "We're in the process of being hunted down by the Cylons and I'm a trained and decorated soldier. I hardly doubt the civilians on the Carina would appreciate it." He pauses for a moment to sip his coffee. "I believe in what I do. If I'm needed to set battle plans as an S3, then I heed the call. It's an important time for our people."
Eve isn't judging him in the slightest, though she nods along with his words. "And how do you feel about the mandate. That officers and enlisted must marry, but can not date?" Questions, that's all she has to offer at the moment.
"I feel it's completely understandable." Dane nods. "Officers and Enlisted are separated for a reason, not to sound too textbook since I'm in OCS right now…" He smiles, letting out a short, quiet chuckle. "You have to avoid favoritism, you have to avoid seeming less than objective at all costs to avoid your relationship issues coming in to play on the field. There has to be that disconnect…"
Eve rubs her lips together, now reaching for the pad of paper. "And so you realize its either an all or nothing scenario when it comes to you, and your Lex. So tell me why the hesitation?" She doesn't assume, even if she thinks she knows, the answer.
Ramiro takes a deep breath, running a hand through his hair. At least he's forcing himself to be honest on many a level. "There's been a few reasons really…" He pauses. "First it was because she doesn't have anywhere near the interest in religion that I do. I'm not saying that means she doesn't understand commitment, but it's such a hard difference in way of life. We talked about it." He shrugs. "She says she won't offend and that I'm sacred to her. Which is…fine." He pauses and takes another sip from his mug. He swallows. "This, for me, is a life decision. I don't believe in divorce. The problem is that I have to make this decision now." He looks to her. "So my hesitation is two fold. What if this girl's it, you know? Sure there's some rough edges and difficulties but what marriage doesn't? On the other hand…" He flattens his lips a little. "…how can I decide what's best for me for the rest of my life in such short notice and fully commit to it? It's not like I can decide to date her or keep in talks with her. It's now or goodbye. The end."
Eve starts to make little notations on her paper, but she tries to keep them unobtrusive and nonchalant so as to not interrupt his flow of speech. She's not here to offer her opinion on the matter, she's here to guide him into making one of his own. "And how long do you have to make your decision?"
"I've been granted 48 hours leave to take it when I'm ready, but I haven't really asked. I'm assuming it's very short time because sooner or later they're going to call this dating." Ramiro replies, sitting back a little to relax on the couch. "She's ready to go. Actually…as of last night, we were both ready to go. I'll admit I think I'm being a bit of a jerk…I've been telling her that I don't have any doubts because I want to be bold, you know?"
Eve taps her pen against her paper. "So your main concerns not in your religious difference, but in the commitment of 'forever'?" Eve reaches up, pulling her glasses down from their perch on the crown of her head, settling them down on her nose so she can more easily read back into her notes.
"Well…" Dane pauses. "…there's a catch there I suppose." He pauses. "I wouldn't say that religiously that there isn't a large problem as well." He pauses, taking a breath. "This is going to be some psych eval fodder but here I go." He looks to her face. "There have been spiritual events that have taken place that I can't deny as being…significant. I can't go into much detail, but the long and short of it, is that I don't wish to offend the Lords of Kobol by making a foolish decision. Forever is a commitment I'm willing to make. Just…simply put, how do I know if I've had enough time to decide if this is the right decision?"
Eve glances to Dane over the dark rim of her glasses. Its one of those practiced looks they must teach you in school. Its not exactly a levelling gaze, but its one that clearly begs for more explanation. "Care to elaborate?" Even though he's already said he doesn't want to get into detail.
Dane takes a deep breath. "Uninitiated are never, never capable of translating the Tongues of Kobol, but my parents taught me some at an early age. Theory, in a sense. My father was a Brother in service to the Cult of Apollo, which I am considering becoming an Initiate in." He pauses. "Since the war started, I've translated the tongues of kobol, had confirmed communal visions with irrefutable evidence, and…" He takes a deep breath. "…have had a train of moments that have led myself and others to holy sites on the surface of planets." He gives her a nervous smile. "I…know this isn't your area of expertise, but to the devout, it's…significant." He looks to his coffee. "Hard to explain without seeming insane, but I've worked hard to be objective about it. I feel without a doubt that we are being watched, and that my actions need to remain both honorable and in correct judgement. It doesn't stress me out…except for when it comes to Lex."
Eve gives another dip of her head, making more scratches on her paper. She can't, or won't, comment on the religious implications or lack there of when it comes to marrying someone who isn't of as strong a faith. "Dane. You have a level head, but in the end, that's not what is going to answer your question, is it? Trust yourself. There is no wrong answer here. What you have to decide on, is what you're happier regretting. Not marrying Lex, and letting her go, or later the chance that you'll regret you didn't give it more time."
"I've never really…had to decide on issues like this. I suppose this is why back home courtships are arranged…" Dane lets out a sigh, leaning an elbow on the edge of the couch and resting his jaw on his fist. "What about the fact that she gave me a clear out and I chose not to take it, but then I turned around and…here I am?" He pauses. "I mean…on an adult level, we're all adults here, I'd tell her I need more time, but that's not time I'm going to be able to get. Frak it's a raw deal, a really raw deal, and I've probably dug myself a hole that'll deserve a punch in the face…" He pauses. "…but I'm not ready. I just feel horrible. She's opened herself up to me, made herself vulnerable." He blushes, swallowing. "When we first met she didn't want things complicated. No feelings…if you catch my drift."
Eve clamps her pen to her paper with a thumb. "Then you've already made up your mind, you just need to let it catch up to this mile a minute whirlwind you're in. And who is to say down the road that the two of you can't spontaneously get married?" She offers a bit of a reassuring smile.
"That's true…" Ramiro sips his coffee, staring at the floor with a bit of a squaring of his jaw. He takes in a slow breath and lets it out. "Spontaneously deciding to get married while not courting isn't technically dating. Since we put in the request ahead of time they'll know there's history and not a sign of frat." He pauses, looking to her. He takes another breath. "I guess…you're right. Frak she's gonna kill me."
Eve shakes her head, "I'm not right or wrong. The decision is yours and yours alone. I'm just here to guide you on the way to making it." Hell, unofficially, Eve's likely cheering for them to get hitched, considering her own personal situation, but she's kept that quietly locked away. For now.
Dane finishes his coffee and looks into the empty mug. He simply nods quietly. Letting out a long sigh, he looks up. "So the next step from here then is to talk to Lex, have a heart to heart with her about this…" He pauses. "…and hope she understands and is okay with the distance for a while. Then let her decide."
Eve peels her glasses off of her face. "I'm here if you need to talk again, Dane. Anytime, hmm?" She seems sincere in that. He has to worry about Lex, she has to worry about Greje.
[Intercom] Attention! Action Stations! Set Condition One throughout the fleet.
[Intercom] Pass the word, Commander Regas to CIC.
"Yeah…yeah…" Dane says in tandem as he starts to nod again at some sort…" He blinks. The intercom goes off. He sets the mug on her desk and stands, heading quickly to the door. "You need an escort to a safe location, sir?" He asks quickly.
Eve blinks, tossing her paper down. "I go to berthings. I'll be fine. You see to yours." Frak. She's on her feet a little too fast, a steadying hand needed to clamp on the back of her chair to keep her from toppling.
Ramiro nods and leaves her door. Running as fast as he can towards the arms locker, he rushes out and towards his action station.

South Korea has recently achieved developed country status with the second largest megacity in the world, the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA). This study provides insights into future changes in air quality for rapidly emerging megacities in the East Asian region. We present total OH reactivity observations in the SMA conducted at an urban Seoul site (May-June, 2015) and a suburban forest site (Sep, 2015). The total OH reactivity in an urban site during the daytime was observed at similar levels (∼15 s(-1)) to those previously reported from other East Asian megacity studies. Trace gas observations indicate that OH reactivity is largely accounted for by NOX (∼50%) followed by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (∼35%). Isoprene accounts for a substantial fraction of OH reactivity among the comprehensive VOC observational dataset (25-47%). In general, observed total OH reactivity can be accounted for by the observed trace gas dataset. However, observed total OH reactivity in the suburban forest area cannot be largely accounted for (∼70%) by the trace gas measurements. The importance of biogenic VOC (BVOCs) emissions and oxidations used to evaluate the impacts of East Asian megacity outflows for the regional air quality and climate contexts are highlighted in this study.

Brazzers is one of the most popular pornography sites on the planet. Truly, it's most likely not your prompt go-to spot for online grown-up amusement—it doesn't really have the name acknowledgment that Pornhub appreciates and it doesn't really have the hybrids request appeared by a website like xHamster—however chances are great you've kept running over a Brazzers.com video or a cylinder webpage that it possesses.
Brazzers has been in the online pornography business for almost 15 years, and its effect is extensive. As the online world moves and changes, so does Brazzers' substance. In any case, that doesn't mean it's a splendidly moral, safe generation organization. Brazzers has had a lot of legitimate issues and has even been restricted by whole nations.
Here are the most intriguing, astonishing realities about Brazzers and how it has come to adapt online grown-up amusement during a time where pornography is, well, all over.
Russia blocked Brazzers from its country because the site has a purely "negative influence on the human psyche," the Moscow Times reported. A Russian court ruled that Brazzers also violated the rights of its citizens. In response, Brazzers offered two weeks of free access to its premium site (which, with a separate URL from its free site, wasn't banned) for anybody in Russia. According to the Times, only 4 percent of Brazzers' traffic emanates from Russia.
So If you are from Russia you can download Brazzers 800GB+ Porn collection pack for free. To download please go through bottom of this page.

I didn't know why, but just as I ran deep into the forest, it was dark all around me even though it was only in the morning.
To my right was the forest.
To my left was also the forest.
W-what do I do!!? Looked like I was lost in this place.
Why didn't I think of how I wasn't used to this area before I ran away from Teo!!? All of this was his fault! He brought me here just for a silly reason that why I ended up like this!
I suddenly heard a bell ringing softly from somewhere. My eyes swept around looking for the source of this sound. There's nothing out of place other than…
A golden light shone out from the inner part of this forest.
Ring! Ring!
Was it inviting me? I didn't why, but I felt like I wanted to follow this sound.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
The sound became clearer for each step that I took forward. I began to remember that this place was the place I first met the fox statue. I exchanged something for my wish that's why my body was like this.
Unfortunately, the fox statue wasn't here anymore.
Ring! Ring!
'Ara~ little girl, are you getting lost?'
In front of me was a woman who wore a long white kimono trimming with small bells at the hem of her sleeve. Her golden shawl draping over her shoulder. She has white hair and sparkling golden eyes. She was beautiful like a goddess.
I took a step back to calm down. This person identity was unknown, but one thing that she knew for sure was that this woman wasn't a fox or demon either, but she also wasn't a human. This place prohibited human from entering since one hundred years ago.
Who was she?
"W-who are you?" I didn't know what to say to her.
"Uhuhu~ You don't have to be wary of me. I'm not a ghost or anything like that."
She took a step towards me while giving me her gentle smile. Her presence made me relaxed somehow. Although we hadn't met each other before, I thought of how her face was so familiar. It was as if I had seen her before from somewhere.
"Excuse me, but do you know the way out of this forest?" Akane asked the woman.
"The way out? Uhuhu~ and how do you find the way out?"
She smiled and took a step back from me a little. I didn't understand the thing that she had said. Did she mean the way out of this forest or the way out for other things?
'You are getting lost right now, little girl. Getting lost from your heart. Do not let other's opinion cloud your decision.'
'You won't find the way out that way.'
It looked like we didn't speak the same thing…
'Uhuhu~ that's nonsense of me to speak like that. The truth is that I come today to find a lost girl.'
The woman took off her golden shawl and draped it on me. There're so many things that I didn't understand. I didn't understand it at all! What's more…I don't even know her!!!
"Why…you…give me this?" I looked at the golden shawl that covered me from head to toe. I couldn't clearly see the scene in front of me because of this shawl.
"I have to apologize for my husband for he was acting a little too childish. I want to give this back to you."
"Wait!! Who are you!?"
She left the word to hang in the air before turning back. I really want to know her identity, but she had already walked away. A golden light flashed in front of me then I could see a nine-tailed fox came out of it and brought the woman with him. They disappeared with another flash of the golden light.
A nine-tailed fox…There's one person who could do that…
'The fox god!!!?'
Did this mean that woman…was the goddess of dance? She was the fox god's wife according to the legend!!!?
"Akane! Akane!!"
From the sound of his voice, I guessed he should be around here. I also had to shout back too, right? He wouldn't see me if I didn't shout back. I slowly stood up using my legs to support me…
Hmm…my legs…they were normal not like those from a fox anymore!!?
My arms and body too!! I went back to being a human again!! Thank you very much, goddess!!
However, there's only one problem. I didn't have any clothes!! I only had the shawl to cover my body!!
"Akane!!" Teo's voice was nearer now!! What to do! I didn't him to find me naked!!
"Don't come, Teo!! Right now…!!"
I shouted to him hoping that he would get a hint and stopped, but it wasn't like that at all…
"Akane!!! You are there, right!?"
He came even closer than he was before. I could see his hair appearing near a bush near me. His eyes widened when he saw I was kneeling down while clutching the shawl as if my life depended on it and then he quickly averted his eyes away from my body. It must be because the embarrassed state I was in right now, so I gripped the shawl and shifted it to properly cover my body(I tried to anyway).
However, that's when…
Tap tap tap…
Another sound of footsteps was also coming towards me, but those weren't from Teo…
It's from…
"Kuro-nil san" I called him. My voice quivering.
"I'm worried about you, Akane."
A body that was gradually appearing out of the darkness was 'Kuromitsu-sama', my ex-fiance!!
Why was he here!?

Sorry I haven't posted for a while I took a long break and then I dip back into my art. I have lots of atc cards to post. I'm so addicting to them. I made so many I have to start showing you them. I love how they turn out.
Here is the one of them. I was playing around with paint and water then little added touches here and there. This set is called random. They won't have a theme to them just random acts of art.

Are you very much into make up and cosmetics that you are actually thinking of opening your own retail cosmetics store? If you are, then this article is for you.
