Nature Spirits or Elementals
Steiner does not generally describe the elementals in connection with man, he prefer a more mental view through the powers of Lucifer and Ahriman, but in "The Spiritual Hierarchies" he gives a deep description of Elementals and Man, which are compatible with Daskalos, but on a deeper level:
Let me show you an example of the difficulty there is in understanding writings which come down to us from that primeval wisdom. It is an example out of the Song Celestial, the Bhagavad Gita, where a sentence throws a very significant light on the connection between human life and the hierarchies. It is the following: (8th Chap. beginning with 23rd verse)
`I will explain unto thee, oh man seeking for truth' [it is thus generally translated] `under what circumstances those who know the Eternal leave the earth through the gate of death, to be later reborn or not.
I will tell thee: Behold the fire, behold the day, behold the time of the waning moon, behold the half year when the sun is high — those who die at that time, who die in fire, in the day, in the time of the waxing moon, those enter through the gates of death into Brahma, but those who the in the sign of the smoke, in the night, when the moon is waning, in the half year when the sun stands low, these when they leave the world and pass through the gates of death enter only into the light of the moon, and return again to the world.' Lecture 1
This is not easy to decipher but Steiner uses it as an entry into the question of the Elementals.
Let us imagine that we reduce air to a watery condition. Air itself is nothing but solidified warmth, densified warmth in which smoke has been formed. The spiritual part which really wanted to be in the fire has been bewitched into smoke. Spiritual beings, which are also called elementals, are bewitched in all air, and will even be bewitched, banished, so to speak, to a lower existence, when air is changed into water. Hence spiritual science sees in everything that is outwardly perceptible something that has proceeded from an original condition of fire or warmth and which has turned into air, smoke, or gas, when the warmth began to condense into gas, gas into liquid, liquid into solid. `Look backwards,' says the spiritual scientist, look at any solid substance. That solidity was once liquid, it is only in the course of evolution that it has become solid and the liquid was once upon a time gaseous and the gaseous formed itself as smoke, out of the fire. But a transmutation, a bewitching of spiritual being is always connected with these processes of condensation and with the formation of gases and solids.
Let us now look around at our world: we see solid rocks, flowing streams of water, we see the water changing into rising mist: we see the air, we see all the solid, liquid, gaseous things and we see fire, so that at the foundation of all things we have nothing but fire. All is fire — solidified fire: gold, silver, copper, are solidified fire. All things were once upon a time fire; everything has been born out of fire. But in all that solidified realm, some bewitched spirits are dwelling.
How are those spiritual, divine beings who surround us able to produce solid matter as it is on our planet — to produce liquids, and air substances? They send down their elemental spirits, those which live in the fire: they imprison them in air, in water and in earth. These are the emissaries, the elemental emissaries of the spiritual, creative, building beings. The elemental spirits first enter into fire. In fire they still feel comfortable — if we care to express it by images — and then they are condemned to a life of bewitchment. We can say looking around us: `These beings, whom we have to thank for all the things that surround us, had to come down out of the fire-element; they are bewitched in those things.'
Can we as men do anything to help those elemental spirits? This is the great question which was put by the Holy Rishis. Can we do anything to release, to redeem, all that is here, bewitched? Yes! We can help them. Because what we men do here in the physical world is nothing else than an outward expression of spiritual processes. All we do is also of importance for the spiritual world. Let us consider the following. A man stands in front of a crystal, or a lump of gold, or anything of that kind. He looks at it. What happens when a man simply gazes, simply stares with his physical eye upon some outer object? A continual interplay occurs between the man and the bewitched elemental spirits. The man and that which is bewitched in the substance have something to do with each other. Let us suppose that the man only stares at the object and takes in only what is impressed on his physical eye. Something is always passing from the elemental being into the man. Something from those bewitched elementals passes continually into the man, from morning till night. While you are thus regarding objects, hosts of these elemental beings, who were and are being continually bewitched through the world-processes of condensation, are continually entering from your surroundings into you. Let us take it that the man staring at the objects has no inclination whatever to think about those objects, no inclination to let the spirit of things live in his soul. He lives comfortably, merely passes through the world, but he does not work on it spiritually, with his ideas or feelings or in any such way. He remains simply a spectator of the material things he meets with in the world. Then these elemental spirits pass into him and remain there, having gained nothing from the world's process, but the fact of having passed from the outer world into man. Let us take another kind of man, one who works spiritually on the impressions he receives from the outer world, who with his understanding and ideas forms conceptions regarding the spiritual foundations of the world, one who does not simply stare at a metal, but ponders over its nature and feels the beauty which inspires and spiritualises his impressions. What does such a man do? Through his own spiritual process, he releases the elemental being which has streamed into him from the outer world; he raises it to what it was before, he frees the elemental from its state of enchantment. Thus, through our own spiritual life, we can, without changing them, either imprison within us those spirits which are bewitched in air, water and earth, or else through our own increasing spirituality, free them and lead them back to their own element. During the whole of his earthly life, man lets those elemental spirits stream into him from the outer world. In the same measure in which he only stares at things, in the same measure in which he simply lets the spirit dwell in him without transforming them, so, in like measure as he tries with his ideas, conceptions and feeling for beauty to work out spiritually what he sees in the outer world, does he release and redeem those spiritual elemental beings.
Now what happens to those elemental beings which, having come out of things, enter into man? They remain at first within him. Also those which are released at first remain, but they stay only until his death. When the man passes through death a differentiation takes place between those elemental beings which have simply passed into him and which he had not led back to their higher element, and those whom he has through his own spiritualisation led back to their former condition. Those whom the man has not changed have not gained anything from their passage from the outer world into him, but others have gained the possibility of returning to their own original world with the man's death. During his life man is a place of transition for these elemental beings. When he has passed through the spiritual world and returns to earth in his next incarnation, all the elemental beings which he has not released during his former life flock into him again when he passes through the portals of his new birth, they return with him into the physical world; but those he has released he does not bring back with him for they have returned into their original element.
Now we have explained one part of that profound sentence from the Bhagavad Gita of which I spoke in my last lecture. It does not speak here at all of the human Ego, it speaks of those nature spirits, of these elemental beings which enter into man from the outer world, and it says there: `Behold the fire, behold the smoke, that which man through his spiritual processes turns into fire are spirits which he liberates with his death.' That which he leaves as it is, in the smoke, must remain united to him at his death and must be reborn with him when he returns to earth. It is the destiny of the elemental spirits that is here described; through the wisdom which man develops, be continually liberates at his death these elemental spirits; through lack of wisdom, through the materialistic attachment to the mere things of the senses, he ties those elemental spirits to himself and forces them to follow him into this world, ever to be born again with him.
But these elemental beings are not only associated with fire and with what is connected with fire, they are the emissaries of higher spiritual divine beings in all that takes place in the outer sense world. There never could have been that interplay of forces in the world that produce the day and the night, for instance, if numbers of such elemental being had not worked suitably at the rotation of the planet through the universe, so that precisely this interchange of day and night could come about. All that takes place is the result of the activity of hosts of lower and higher spiritual entities belonging to the spiritual hierarchies. We have been speaking of the lowest order, of the messengers. When night becomes day and day night, elemental beings live also in that process, and so it is that man stands in an intimate relationship with the beings of the elemental world which have to take part in working at the day and the night. When man is idle and lets himself go, he affect those elementals who have to do with the day and the night quite differently, than when he has creative force, when he is active, diligent, and productive. When a man is lazy for instance, he unites himself with a certain kind of elemental and he also does so when he is active, but in a particular way. Those elementals of the second class, just named, who are active during the day, are then in their higher element. As fire elementals, those of the first class, are bound in air water and earth, so certain elemental being are also tied to darkness; and day could not turn into night, day could not be divided from night, if these elementals were not so to speak imprisoned in night. That man is able to enjoy daylight, he has to thank divine spiritual beings who have driven forth elemental spirits and have chained them to the night-time. When man is lazy these elementals flow into him continually, but he leaves them as they are, unchanged. Those elemental spirits which at night are chained to darkness, he let through his idleness remain in the same state; those elemental who enter into him when he is active and industrious and filled. with working power, he leads back into daylight. Thus he continually releases these elementals of the second class.Throughout the whole of our lifetime we bear within us all those elemental spirits which have entered into us either during our hours of idleness or during those of active work. When we pass through the gates of death those beings whom we have led towards daylight can now return into the spirit world; those we have left chained to the night through our idleness, must return with us in our new incarnation. With this we arrive at the second point in theBhagavad Gita. Again it is not the human self, but those elemental beings which are indicated with the words: `Behold the day and the night. That which thou hast thyself released by turning it from a being of the night into a being of the day through thy diligence; that which comes forth out of the day enters when thou diest, into the higher world; that which thou takest with thee as beings of the night, thou forcest to reincarnate with thee again.'
And now you will see clearly how the matter proceeds. As it is with the phenomena of which we have just spoken, so it is on a larger scale with our month of 28 days, with the changes of the waxing and waning moon. Whole flocks of elemental beings have to come into activity to direct the motions of the moon so that our lunar periods can come about as they do with all the influences they bring with them upon our visible earth. For this purpose certain of the higher beings had again to be bewitched, doomed, chained. Clairvoyant vision sees how, with the waxing moon, spiritual beings of a lower kingdom ever rise into a higher. But, so that order should exist, other spiritual elemental beings must again be transformed into those of lower realms. There are also those elementals of a third realm who stand in relationship with men.When man is serene and bright, when he is pleased with the world, when he has feelings of gladness towards all things, he continually releases those beings which are chained to the waning moon. These beings enter into him and are continually set free, through his soul's peaceful attitude, through his inner contentment, through his harmonious feelings and ideas towards the whole world. The beings which enter into man when he is sullen, peevish, morose, discontented with anything, when everything depresses him — when he is pessimistic — these spirits remain in the condition of bewitchment they were in at the time of the waning moon. Oh! There are men who through the harmonious condition of their soul, through the bright way they look upon the world, release and set free great numbers of these bewitched elemental beings. The man of harmonious and optimistic feelings and who feels inner satisfaction with the world, is a deliverer of elemental spiritual beings. The pessimist, he who is morose, sullen and discontented, becomes through his depression the gaoler of elemental spirits which could have been released by his cheerfulness. Thus you see that the conditions of mind and soul have not only a personal importance for this man, but also that he works either at the liberation or the imprisonment of spiritual beings; either deliverance or fetters proceed from him. The conditions of soul that a man experiences go out in all directions into the spiritual world. We have here the third point of that important teaching in the Bhagavad Gita: `Behold what man does through the feelings and conditions of his soul, how he sets spirits free, as they are set free by the growing moon.'When the man dies, these released spirits can return to the spiritual world. If through his depression and hypochondriacal moods, he calls to him the elemental spirits which are around him, and then leaves them as they are, as they have to be in order to bring about the orderly courses of the moon, then these spirits remain chained to him and must reincarnate with him into this world.
And last of all we have a fourth degree of elemental spirits, those who have to work at the annual course of the sun, so that the summer sun may shine upon the earth to awaken and fructify it, so that spring can appear and be succeeded by autumn. In order that this may come to pass certain spirits must be fettered to winter-time, must be bewitched during the time of the winter sun. And man acts upon these spirits in the same way as we have described his acting on the other grades of spirits. Let us take man who at the beginning of winter says to himself: `The nights are getting longer, the days shorter, we come to that time of the sun's yearly course when the sun withdraws his fructifying forces from the earth. The outer earth dies, but with this deadening of the earth I feel it my duty to be all the more spiritually awake. I must now take more and more of the spirit within me.' Let us take a man who acquires a more and more religious mood appropriate to the season as Christmas comes on, who learns to know the significance of Christmas and to know also that when the outer world of the senses is dead the life of the spirit must now grow stronger. This man lives through winter until Easter. He remembers that with the awakening of the outer world is combined the death of the spiritual: he lives through the Easter festival comprehending its meaning. Such a man has not only an outer religion; he has religious understanding of the processes of nature, of the spirit which rules it; and through his piety, his spirituality, he releases numbers of that fourth class of elemental beings which continually stream in and out of him, which are connected with the course of the sun. But the man who is not pious in this sense, who denies or does not understand the spirit and is always muddling through a materialistic chaos, into him these elementals of the fourth class flow, but remain unchanged. At death it happens again: that these elemental spirits of the fourth degree are either set free in their own element, or else are bound to the man and have to return with him at his next incarnation. Thus, the man, who uniting with the winter spirits does not change them into summer spirits, does not redeem them through his spirituality, dooms them to rebirth, whereas they might have been freed and not have had to return with him. Behold the fire and the smoke! If you so unite with the outer world that the activity of your soul and spirit is like that of fire, from which smoke comes forth, so that you spiritualise things, through knowledge and through right feeling, you help certain spiritual elemental beings to rise; but if you unite with the smoke you condemn them to rebirth. If you associate yourself with the day, you then set free the corresponding spirits of day and so on. Behold the light! Behold the day! Behold the waxing of the moon and the sunny half of the year! If you act so that you lead the elemental spirits back to the light, to the day, to the waxing moon, to the summer-time of the year, you then at your death release these elementary spirits which are so necessary to you. They rise to the spiritual world.If you associate yourself with the smoke, if you only gaze at the solid things of the earth, if through laziness you unite yourself with the night and with the spirits of the waning moon, and if through your depression you unite yourself with those spirits who are chained to the winter sun, then through your lack of spirit, your godlessness, you condemn these elementary beings to be reincarnated with you again!
Now we know for the first time what this passage in the Bhagavad Gita really means. If anyone thinks that man is here spoken of, he does not understand the Bhagavad Gita; but those who know that all human life is a continual interplay between man and the spirits who live bewitched into our surroundings and who must be released again — those know that these sentences speak of the ascension or of the reincarnation of four groups of elemental beings. The mystery of this lowest kind of hierarchy has been preserved for us in these sentences in the Bhagavad Gita. Yes! When one has to bring forth out of primeval wisdom what is presented to us in the documents of ancient religion, one sees how grand these are and how wrong it is to understand them superficially and not in all their profundity. They are only considered in the right way when one says to oneself: `No wisdom is exalted enough to discover the mysteries herein contained.' Only when these ancient documents are interpenetrated by the magic of real devotional feeling, do they become what in the true sense of the word they must be — self-ennobling and purifying forces for human evolution. They point frequently to fathomless abysses of human wisdom, and only when that which springs from the sources of the occult schools and the mysteries, streams forth from now on to all mankind, only then, will these reflections of the primeval wisdom (for they are but reflections) be seen in all their greatness. We have had to show, by means of a comparatively difficult example, how in the times of primeval wisdom the co-operation of all those spirits which are everywhere around us was well known, how it was also known that the deeds of men represent an interchanging activity between the spiritual world and the world of man's own inner being. The problem of humanity first becomes important for us, when we know that in all we do, even in our moods, we influence a whole Cosmos, and that this small world of ours is of infinitely far-reaching importance for all that comes to pass in the macrocosm. An increase in our feeling of responsibility is the finest and most important of all the things we gain from spiritual science. It teaches us to grasp the true meaning of life and to realise its importance, so that this life which we cast on the stream of evolution may not enter that stream void of meaning.
If we live egoistically we reincarnate with four kinds of Elementals, which we will incarnate with again as Karma, but if we live spiritually sound we raise the elementals to a higher level, and they will be connected to our higher I not needing to incarnate.
The following quotes are taken from here.
What are the Ahrimanian Spirits?
The Luciferic spirits have reached a little longer than man, and is therefore a supersensible being, where Ahrimanic beings have reached nearly as long as man, and is therefore a subsensible being. The following texts from Rudolf Steiner will illustrate it:
- The Ahrimanic impulse proceeds from a supersensible Being different from the Being of Christ or of Lucifer. Equally with `supersensible' one can say `subsensible' …
- For Lucifer is a Being who detached himself from the spiritual hosts of heaven after the separation of the sun, whereas Ahriman had already broken away before the separation of the sun and is an embodiment of quite different powers.
- In certain occult teachings the hosts of Ahriman are also called the Asuras. These are of course, the evil Asuras who at a certain time fell away from the evolutionary path of the Asuras who endowed man with personality. It has already been indicated that these are spiritual Beings who detached themselves from the evolution of the earth before the separation of the sun.
- Lucifer had brought man under the influence of the powers connected with air and water only; whereas it was Ahriman-Mephistopheles who has subjected him to the influence of far more deadly powers and the civilizations immediately to come will see the appearance of many things connected with Ahriman's influence.
- In the influences of Ahriman, therefore, we have to do with powers of a much lower nature than the influences of Lucifer. Lucifer's influences can never become as evil as the influences of Ahriman and of those Beings who are connected with the powers of fire.
When the sun system was created, the lower developed beings were separated first, that is the Elementals was separated before the Earth was separated from the Sun, man was separated with the Earth from the Sun, and the beings of the Angeloi was separated after Earth, and as the Ahrimanian beings was separated before the Earth separated from the Sun, they are of a lesser development than man, they were part of the Elementals.
Nature Spirits
These Elementals are also known as Nature spirits and Steiner makes the connection between Ahriman and the Nature spirits here:
In so far as Ahriman lives in our etheric body we dive down with our etheric body into the sphere of the elementary Nature spirits – the Earth, Water, Air and Fire spirits. We are not cognizant of the fact because we are not able to descend fully into our etheric body with our Ego. Nevertheless it is always so. Within this etheric body not only does there live the power of the thoughts that we ourselves think, but the influences also of the Nature spirits; these enter in and make themselves felt.
As man has their lowest body in the physical world does the three elemental kingdoms have their lowest bodies deeper than the physical:
We have the physical world, the astral world, the Lower Devachan and the Higher Devachan. If the body is thrust down lower even than the physical world, it comes into the sub-physical world, the lower astral world, the lower or evil Lower Devachan, and the lower or evil Higher Devachan.The evil astral world is the province of Lucifer, the evil Lower Devachan the province of Ahriman, and the evil Higher Devachan the province of the Asuras.When chemical action is driven down beneath the physical plane – into the evil Devachanic world – magnetism arises. When light is thrust down into the submaterial – that is to say, a stage deeper than the material world – electricity arises. If what lives in the Harmony of the Spheres is thrust down farther still, into the province of the Asuras, an even more terrible force – which it will not be possible to keep hidden very much longer – is generated.
The result of Ahrimanic spirits
Karma builds on the work of these spirits, which guides man through the development.
- Karma was thus the indirect consequence of the deeds of Ahriman.
- The host of Ahrimanic Spirits has worked upon man since the middle of the Atlantean epoch onwards. To what did these Ahrimanic Spirits entice him? They enticed him into regarding everything in his environment as material, with the result that he does not see through this material world to its true, spiritual foundations.
- Ahriman is a spirit of lies, a spirit who conjures illusions before men, working together with his confederates in a spiritual world. Ahriman himself is no mirage – far from it! But what is conjured before men's eyes of spirit under his influence – that is mirage, illusion.
The three Elemental Kingdoms work in the three souls of man: Sentient soul, intellectual soul, and consciousness soul:
- Lucifer anchored himself in the sentient soul; and there he remains.
- It was in this second soul-member, the intellectual soul – the transformed part of the ether-body – that Ahriman established his footing. From there he lures man to false conceptions and judgments of material things, leads him to error, to sin, to lying – to everything that originates in the intellectual or mind soul. In every illusion that matter is the sole reality, we must perceive the whispered promptings of Ahriman, of Mephistopheles.
- And in the age now, approaching, those spiritual Beings known as the Asuras will creep into the consciousness soul and therewith into the human 'I' or ego – for the 'I' lights up in the consciousness soul.
The way out of this is through Christ:
Christ is verily the Light which leads out of error and sin, the Light which enables man to find the way upwards. And now let us ask ourselves: What was it that was lost to man in that he descended from the spiritual world, was ensnared in desires and passions under the influence of Lucifer, and then, under Ahriman's influence, in error, illusion and lying in the earthly world? – He lost direct vision of the spiritual world, he lost understanding of the spiritual world.
Future Jupiter and it's Beings
From Art as Seen in the Light of Mystery Wisdom:
Now you may be anxious to know whether, in our present period of evolution, beings are being prepared to attain their human level in the Jupiter period.
This question is certainly a vital one for every feeling person, if his feelings have been inspired by spiritual science, as we have been describing. For it could be the case that human behaviour in general during the course of Earth evolution could either help, or omit to help, the beings who might attain their human level on Jupiter.
Thus we see that through our earthly morality we take a creative part in the whole cosmic order. It is indeed a creative power, and we can see that spiritual science gives us a strong impulse for moral action by telling us that we are working against the creation of Jupiter human beings, if we do not act in a moral way on earth. This gives morality a very real value and makes its existence worthwhile. Our human conduct is very strongly formed by what we acquire through spiritual science, especially as we become acquainted with real secrets regarding the cosmos.
You could now ask, 'What about immoral behaviour?' Immoral behaviour also comes to expression in the formation of the breath. But immoral behaviour imprints a demonic form on it. Demons are born through man's immoral conduct. Let us look at the difference between the demons that arise through immoral behaviour and the spiritual beings — spiritual in so far as they only have a watery existence on earth — the spiritual forms that are created by moral actions.
These beings that incarnate as far as a transitory watery existence and arise from moral conduct, are the kind of beings that have an astral, an etheric and finally a physical body condensed to the level of wateriness, just as, in the Moon period, we had an etheric, an astral and a physical body, and this physical body was also only condensed to a wateriness. We were more or less like that, even if not exactly the same. And this creature, with a physical body, etheric body and astral body that arises out of moral actions, is predestined to receive an ego, just as in the Moon period our physical, etheric and astral body were predestined to receive an ego. They have the basis for receiving an ego, and beings of this kind are qualified to undergo a regular progressive evolution in the cosmos. The other beings, the demons created out of immoral actions, also have an astral body, an etheric body and a physical body, at the watery stage, of course, but they do not have the basis for developing an ego. They are born without heads, as it were.
If we take the idea of karma seriously, we must really recognise our ego in our destiny and realise we ourselves are active in what happens to us through destiny; that we are the actual agents.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Ohio power company FirstEnergy slumped Wednesday on a disappointing 2005 outlook that prompted lower earnings estimates and a swift downgrade from utilities analysts.
Late Tuesday, the Akron, Ohio-based energy company announced a 10 percent increase in its dividend to $1.65 a share, a move the market had expected but not until some time next year.
But the company also estimated its earnings per share for 2005 at $2.75-$2.80, nearly unchanged from 2004 -- a letdown for analysts expecting a full-year return closer to $3.
"(FirstEnergy's) 2005 estimated earnings guidance is disappointingly light," wrote Merrill Lynch analyst Steven Fleishman, who cut his own 2005 earnings estimate for the company to $2.75 a share from $2.95.
Fleishman left his recommendation on the stock unchanged at "neutral" following a downgrade from "buy" in November.
Morgan Stanley analyst Kit Konolige took an even harsher stance, cutting his recommendation on the company to "equal-weight" from "over-weight" while adjusting downward his 2005 earning per share estimate to $2.80 from $3 previously.
"We no longer believe shareholders will be getting rewarded for the operational risks of this company. Management's priority now is to spend a majority of FE's free cash flow rebuilding its nuclear plants and T&D [transmission and distribution] system ... rather than returning it to shareholders in the near-term.
"We do not think this is bad use of cash flow, but it pushes the potential rewards shareholders will receive from this spend until later in the decade," he added.
FirstEnergy has faced a series of costly upgrades over the past few years, starting with an extensive overhaul of its Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in Ohio that included replacing a badly corroded lid on the reactor vessel.
The company was also caught in the middle of the giant blackout that hit the parts of the Midwest, Northeast and Canada in August 2003, highlighting an acute need to improve its electric transmission and distributions systems.
The company has predicted it would be able to recover most of the costs associated with these system upgrades through rate increases charged to its 4.4 million utility customers.

American has just announced a promotion supplying bonus miles for travel to Asia. Along with Asia and Pacific travel details, you are going to uncover useful maps, insider tips, and incredible tips for your subsequent journey. Wonderful post and best timing as we are about to head off to invest our first winter in SE Asia ( soon after spending the final four in Europe on our world loved ones tour). Even so, it was great to have my hands cost-free when I needed to pay for tickets and also carry bags and water bottles.
But on 24th June 1939, the nation – the only 1 in south east Asia to stay forever free of charge of European colonisation – officially changed its name to 'Thailand', which indicates 'Free Land'. Take a cyclo tour of Hanoi's Old Quarter to learn about standard Vietnamese architecture and commit a evening cruising Ha Lengthy Bay aboard a classic Junk sailing boat. To post on our forum , exactly where you can ask and answer queries on travel to the area, you want to join.

A combined vaccination that protects against diphtheria, polio and tetanus is routinely given to all children in the UK. You should make sure you and your youngsters are up-to-date with your routine vaccinations before travelling. A boat trip through these incredible islands is the excellent antidote to Hanoi?s insanity.
Btw, this post is mainly for those wanting to travel a bit longer in Asia, but I do go on 1 to 2-week trips as well. Only factor that can help you in obtaining a excellent deal is your travel program and analysis about air fares. Take one particular for certain, but you will uncover that most spending budget areas insist that you use their padlock (do not drop the crucial – they will charge you the earth). As more men and women are more open to traveling, there have been loads of more affordable travel possibilities getting created available to the public each by airline and hotel businesses.
The best time for travel to Thailand is amongst November and February, as March and April can be fairly hot and May possibly through October, the monsoon season, even hotter and far more humid. You'll be welcomed in the countryside you are going to realise that South-East Asia isn't all chaos and noise.

The Vietnam visa may be more costly, although the expense of travel there is a lot reduce than in Myanmar (accommodation may be half or just a third of that in Myanmar for instance). I traveled in Southeast Asia for practically six weeks and did not get scammed after since I knew what to keep away from and watch out for! Even though this is very a lot a 'classic' route, there are lots of other approaches to travel the area. At Topdeck our passion is supplying unforgettable travel adventures across the globe for 18 to 30-somethings.
In the event that you cannot uncover low-cost international flights to Asia, one particular of the choices you can explore when travelling in Asia is the low expense carriers that operate within the major hubs in the area. AAdvantage bonus mileage provide is valid on American Airlines or Japan Airlines marketed and/or operated nonstop flights amongst the U.S. or Canada and Asia, from September 15, 2016, through December 10, 2016. Prices are many instances greater than regional buses, but nevertheless low-cost and save a lot of time and hassle. The main tourist destinations and travel routes described above are largely malaria-free. East Asia is possibly the safest location in the continent, but political tensions also exist in this region.

A wealthy Singapore neurosurgeon whose "astronaut" family has lived in West Vancouver for the past 15 years has been ordered to pay his ex-wife a stratospheric settlement after a bitter divorce in which he hid over a million dollars worth of global assets, ignored court orders and engaged in "reprehensible conduct" towards both his family, a lawyer and a judge involved in the case, a B.C. Supreme Court justice has ruled.
Neurologist Gobinathan Devathasan, 69, was ordered to hand his ex over $16 million worth of assets, including six properties in North America, as well as pay a $2.3-million "equalization" payment to take into account the greater value of the nine global properties he will keep, worth approximately $21.4 million.
Devathasan was also ordered to make a lump sum payment of $5.5 million in spousal support to his ex-wife Christie Devathasan, a former model and nurse, plus $612,000 in child support for his daughter while she completes an undergraduate degree at university.
While unusual, Justice Geoffrey Gomery wrote in his ruling the lump sum payment order was necessary considering the neurosurgeon's conduct during the divorce.
For a long time, Devathasan was "utterly unwilling" to acknowledge or fulfill his responsibilities, wrote Gomery, noting Devathasan had stated in May 2017, "I will not pay a dollar for alimony now or till death or whatever any one decrees no matter what," adding, "I have sworn I will pay with my ashes only."
As part of the divorce ruling, Gomery itemized misconduct by the neurosurgeon, calling it "richly deserving of rebuke."
That included transferring the business of his lucrative Singapore clinic into the names of a son living in Australia and a clinic employee - and backdating the transfer - in an attempt to evade the court's asset-freezing order.
Devathasan also freely moved money in his Singapore bank accounts in breach of the freezing order, and failed to disclose properties in Singapore and Thailand in a sworn affidavit of assets, wrote Gomery.
He also sent correspondence to his daughter's university calculated to embarrass her, accused his wife's lawyer of "gross misconduct" and suggested the B.C. Supreme Court justice who made the original asset-freezing order had "spread her legs wide" to his wife's lawyer, Gomery wrote, adding Devathasan's "attitude and actions evinced contempt for this court and its processes."
According to court documents, the couple met in Singapore and married in 1997. In 2003, the family came to Canada through the immigrant investor program after depositing $500,000. But Devathasan decided his work opportunities in Canada "were not at all attractive" and returned to work in Singapore, while his wife and children moved into a large home in West Vancouver. Devathasan would visit several times a year, according to court documents, but the relationship eventually deteriorated and his wife filed for divorce in 2016.
The divorce was remarkable for the stratospheric wealth of the family, Gomery noted, with family assets estimated at between $38 million and $41 million.
Property to be divided in the case included homes and investment properties in multiple jurisdictions, including a West Vancouver mansion valued at over $6 million, a $670,000 apartment at Big White ski resort, a $2.3-million apartment at the Hotel Georgia and a ranch in Merritt worth $1.5 million. It also included a $1.3-million apartment in Toronto, in addition to the ownership of Devathasan's $8-million Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre in Singapore, and various apartments in Singapore, Florida, Malaysia and Thailand.
The couple also owned a veritable fleet of luxury vehicles, including a 2012 Maserati Gran Cabrio valued at $194,000 and an Audi 8L worth $92,000 that Devathasan kept in Singapore and three cars owned by his wife in Canada, including a 2012 Rolls Royce sedan worth $307,000, a 2015 Range Rover valued at $98,000 and a 2015 Audi RS7 Quattro with a value of $85,000, according to court documents.
Other assets included about $200,000 worth of Persian rugs, and expensive Rolex and Breitling watches owned by the neurosurgeon valued at $160,000.
At one point in 2016, before his wife filed for divorce, the neurosurgeon proposed buying a $2.65-million West Vancouver property with his adult son and paid the $480,000 deposit, according to court documents. To avoid the foreign buyers' tax, Devathasan formulated a deal to conceal his 50 per cent beneficial ownership in the property. Later, after his wife filed for divorce, Devathasan refused to complete the deal, forfeiting his deposit. As part of the divorce settlement, Gomery included a penalty against Devathasan for wasting family assets.

PCI Express(r) Carriers and OpenVPX
Mezzanine carrier cards have been used in system designs for many years, and will continue to play an integral part, especially as the performance of processor cards continue to increase in the future. This white paper will discuss the many uses of carrier cards designed specifically for VPX and OpenVPX systems. First, let's define what we mean by a mezzanine carrier card. In some system designer's vernacular, a mezzanine carrier card can be defined as any card that can host a mezzanine. Although one can take this simple approach, we will be bit more restrictive in our definition. In this white paper, we will refer to a mezzanine carrier card as a card that can host one or more mezzanines but does not provide any processing function. The processing function or control of the mezzanine is provided by another card in the system. Stated another way, the mezzanine carrier is used to host a mezzanine which is then controlled and used by a "processor" card in the system. Hence, we could refer to the mezzanine carrier as being "dumb".

The traditional commute for I-90 drivers working in Seattle got tougher, and the reverse commute to the Eastside quicker, in the first week after express lanes closed.
In the first week without Interstate 90 express lanes, the traditional commute to and from Seattle took longer, while reverse commutes to and from Eastside jobs improved.
So says INRIX, the international traffic-data company based in Kirkland, after crunching its own numbers.
Severe congestion, reflecting slower speeds and longer travel times, appeared across Mercer Island in the morning drive westbound.
In the evening, cars took longer to leave Seattle and reach the Eastside, chief economist Bob Pishue reported Thursday.
Learn more about Traffic Lab » | Follow us on Twitter »
I-90's westbound morning trips took four to seven minutes longer between 8 and 9 a.m. on June 5-8 compared with April, Pishue found. But eastbound the drive was four to seven minutes quicker.
The I-90 center express lanes, which carried carpools, buses and Mercer Island drivers, permanently closed this month to make room for construction of Sound Transit's light rail across Lake Washington, to open in 2023 and haul an estimated 50,000 daily riders. To compensate for road loss, crews squeezed new high-occupancy lanes into the freeway mainlines, which reduced shoulders and lane width.
Pishue suggests that the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) continue to keep incident-response teams nearby to quickly clear stalled or crashed vehicles and keep traffic moving.
"A minor accident could bring a pretty big ripple effect," he said, because stalled vehicles may just have to stay and block a lane.
A June 9 crash eastbound midlake at noon slowed other traffic 10 minutes, and delays lingered past 1 p.m., even though the shoulders there are a relatively generous 8 feet.
WSDOT isn't reporting new travel times yet. Historically, traffic requires six months to settle into a long-term pattern, after bridge or toll-lane projects.
"We're still expecting things to shake out further. It's early at this point to draw conclusions," said WSDOT project spokeswoman Annie Johnson. "Anecdotally, the Seattle to Eastside commute in the mornings has gotten a little bit better, that's what we've heard from the folks."
The pattern largely fits government traffic studies, which touted the value of adding a reverse-commute lane for buses and carpools. But early facts also support critics who worried about tie-ups through Mercer Island, though traffic jams didn't overflow into the tiny downtown as feared.
One vulnerable place is the Rainier Avenue merge to the eastbound Mount Baker tunnel, which became more abrupt — and where one 10-foot lane and one 10.5-foot lane replaced a wider single lane in the right tunnel passage. At times, Rainier-area traffic jams spilled onto I-5 in the afternoons.
An INRIX congestion scan for June 7 shows speeds under 30 mph in the afternoon at the eastbound Mount Baker tunnels, and also slow in the morning westbound at mid-Mercer Island. The data include a mixture of general and high-occupancy lane traffic.
The company has long experience collaborating with the state, and INRIX recently won a contract to monitor road networks in 50 states for the Federal Highway Administration.
The data from last week is a limited sample, and the company has a history of encouraging road expansions. But the report doesn't attempt to make political points.

The Magic of The Mask – This is the true story of a real-life million-dollar woman.
The Magic of the Mask is the story of a young actress who moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams, shortly after losing her mother to a long battle with cancer. With new hope, promises of a bright future and a role on a hit television show, Louise Ashby felt like maybe things were finally going to go her way.
Six weeks after her arrival in LA, driving with a friend in her ford mustang convertible, two blocks from her rented apartment, her life was to change forever. Five days later Louise came round from a coma in the ICU at Cedars Sinai with family and friends who'd flown in from London to say their goodbyes. Unable to move her head or body and only seeing from one eye, their faces told her something was very wrong.
This memoir tells of the strength of the human spirit; how a woman lost her face and over ten years and 28 reconstructive surgeries is rebuilt. Louise has to learn to live with a traumatic brain injury, the loss of her left eye, senses of smell and taste, neck and spine injury and her life long dream. It is a story of survival, friendships, love, living in the moment, facing your demons and rebuilding your life.
About Louise Ashby (Los Angeles, California Author)
Louise Ashby is a successful author, columnist, Inspirational speaker and coach who has appeared on the world's most prominent talk and radio shows (Larry King, Fox News, The Late Show, 20/20, A Current Affair etc) discussing her expertise on Life after trauma, the Law of Attraction, her Toolbox to Success, spirituality and Survival. She has helped thousands of individuals realize their dreams and their true purpose. Louise calls herself a Life Architect and will help you design the blueprint for your ultimate life.
In 2002 Louise's first memoir, The Magic of the Mask, was published. The Magic of the Mask inspired others to find the strength to get through their own life changing traumas and had Louise appearing on television internationally to talk about facial disfigurement and trauma and loss, and to spread a message of hope and strength. On the back of appearances on the shows Larry King Live, A Current Affair, The Tonight Show, 20/20, Montel Williams, Channel Four News and Fox 11 News, and features in Time, Newsweek, People, Elle, Glamour and Marie Claire, Louise was inundated with letters of praise from the public. The overwhelming positive response confirmed for Louise that there was value in her message and with her doctor she founded the charity, Facing Forward, which still to date raises money for reconstructive surgery and medical care for children who are born with facial deformities.
Today Louise is working on her second memoir, and several other books including; a children's book, a self-help book. She also travels the world speaking and teaching workshops. Louise has her own company where she works as a Life Architect, helping others rebuild their lives including working with non profits and most recently those who are suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injuries and other life changing injuries or addiction.

Stephen Chung describes how and why it is difficult for architects to design spaces such as hospitals. The Medical School at The University of Arizona brings all healthcare disciplines into one building.
Chung talks about how the Health Education Sciences architects used copper creatively as a windscreen, cooling system, and the perforated panels allow the sun to illuminate the inside space. The students of the different healthcare schools discuss their opinions of the area.
Chung describes how difficult it is for hospitals, mainly teaching hospitals, to find a way to create privacy for patients, students, and faculty. This hospital is one of the highest volumes and houses Connecticut's largest pharmacy.
Chung describes the abnormal shape of the Yale Medical facility in comparison to the typical structures of medical buildings. The architects had to collaborate with a landscape designer to create the rooftop "healing garden."
The Cleveland Clinic for Brain Health in Los Vegas was built to bring global attention to the research and treatment of neurological diseases. Architect Frank Gehry discusses his design process for the brain center.
Chung discusses the traditional organization of the Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, despite its very nontraditional structural design. The staff believes the design of the building is a valuable marketing tool allowing them to show how serious their research is.

Christian Couple Imprisoned for Conversion
7 May 2003 Naglaa, a Christian convert from Islam, and her husband Malak have been held in prison since mid-February in an effort to force Naglaa to give up her Christian faith and return to Islam. Naglaa and her husband Malak Gawargios Fahmy were arrested at the airport as they tried to leave Egypt for Cyprus. They were sentenced to be detained for four days by the El Nozha District Attorney. However, on 26 February this was extended for a further 45 days and for another 45 on 18 March, and the couple are still being held despite this period having now passed. Police are trying to force Naglaa to give up her Christian faith and return to Islam, to leave her husband, and to raise her children as Muslims. In 1996 Naglaa Hassan Ibrahim, then a student at Ain-Shams University, was baptised after spending three years exploring the Christian faith. The same year Naglaa married Malak, a Christian. Barnabas Fund was informed of the couples plight by senior church leaders in Egypt involved with their case. Becoming Christian shouldnt be a crime punishable by a prison sentence, the Fund was told by Egyptian church leaders who lament that it is strictly forbidden to convert from Islam to Christianity although the opposite happens hundreds and even thousands of times. Freedom of religion should be a human right to all, and conversions should take place with each persons own accord. The ostensible reason for the couples arrest in February was that Naglaa had a forged passport and ID card. Conversion from Islam to Christianity, although technically not illegal, is not recognised by Egyptian law, and it is prohibited for Christian men to marry Muslim women. Since Naglaa acquired her passport as a Christian woman after her marriage it may have been viewed as bogus by the police as she is still a Muslim in the eyes of the law. Similarly since there is no capacity for converts to change their religious identity on their ID card, so this too may have been considered technically bogus. APOSTASY IN EGYPT AND ISLAM All the major schools of Islamic law (Shariah) agree that converts from Islam (apostates) should be put to death, their marriages annulled, and their children and property taken away. This tradition is upheld and taught by most Muslim religious leaders around the world today. In countries like Iran, Sudan and Saudi Arabia the death sentence for leaving Islam is actually part of the law. Whilst in Egypt there is technically no law banning apostasy, converts are still actively punished by the police and often face imprisonment, beatings and torture on various pretexts in order to try to force them to return to Islam. Some have died in prison. Several have had to flee the country. Converts have sometimes been arrested under the countrys emergency legislation which allows for the holding of suspects without charge or trial for indefinite periods. APOSTASY CAMPAIGN Barnabas Fund is currently engaged in a major international campaign on behalf of converts like Naglaa focusing on the Islamic law of apostasy and the treatment of converts in Islamic societies. The Fund is calling upon Muslim religious leaders to vocally condemn the harsh treatment of converts and to make public statements calling for a reform of Shariah teaching on apostasy to clearly affirm that Muslims who choose to convert to another faith are free to follow their personal convictions without fear of punishment or harassment. Further details of the campaign can be obtained by contacting Barnabas Fund or visiting the Apostasy Campaign pages on our website http://www.barnabasfund.org/Apostasy.htm PRAY Pray for Naglaa, Malak, and their children Maria (5) and George (2). Pray for strength, courage, faith and endurance for Naglaa and Malak in prison. Pray for provision, care and love for the children whilst their parents continue to be held. Pray that Naglaa and Malak will soon be released and the family reunited. Pray for wisdom, guidance and strength for church leaders, lawyers and others involved in Naglaa and Malaks case. Pray for the police and the authorities involved that they will have compassion and mercy on this family and allow their immediate release.

There are numerous fundamental bits of equipment's that are vital on the farm. In this post, I will give you a farming equipment list that will give you the equipment that you require on a ranch. There are a few things that aren't on the rundown in light of the fact that each farmer has distinctive necessities, so for a great many people, this rundown will get the job done.
The tractor is the essential bit of gear that you use on the farm. Its essential capacity is to pull cultivating gear, yet you can utilize it for some things.
A case of an alternate sort of tractor is a front loader tractor. You can utilize this sort of tractor for various things, for example, stacking fertilizer into an excrement spreader. A minimal tractor is a little tractor that you use on littler farms and little employment.
Plow or plough
The plow is the place everything starts. You require this bit of pig farming equipment to set up your field for your harvests. This is the farm execute that you will use to separate the land for the plain first time. For the most part, plows turn the dirt over to slaughter of the surface vegetation, for example, weeds.
Harrows are auxiliary culturing. You utilize them after a plow as a rule. The thought behind a harrow is to separate the hunks of soil to make it simpler for plants to develop.
Here is a rundown of the kinds of harrows you may discover: plate harrows, chain harrow, roller harrow, and spring harrows.
You utilize a seeder to plant the seeds in the ground. The most widely recognized seeder composes you will see is a communicated seeder. You can see communicate seeders seeding grass in local locations. Likewise, in Canada, you will see a communicate seeder utilized for spreading salt.
Fertilizer spreader
A fertilizer spreader is a farm executes that spreads out fertilizer. You can do these diverse ways. A standout amongst the most widely recognized spreader is a communicated spreader. This is fundamentally the same as a broadcast seeder. As a rule, individuals utilize them conversely.
Consolidates are normally the most costly bit of farming equipment that agriculturists buy. It is the most critical bit of farm gear also. It is the bit of pig farming equipment that you use to receive the rewards of your diligent work. You utilize a standard grain set out toward wheat, rye, canola, and soybeans. You utilize a corn head, which appears as though it has teeth on it for corn.
You utilize a baler to gather roughage, straw or corn stalks and place them into either a round parcel or a starting point. You utilize roughage as feed for your domesticated animals, so it is imperative to have your hardware tuned legitimately. You utilize straw as bedding for your domesticated animals to keep them dry and warm. Bedding helps the creatures not become ill. You can utilize corn stalks for bedding, yet a few

The thought of hurling sharp, potentially dangerous objects doesn't appeal to everyone. But Jason Hilleshiem wanted to try the activity as soon as he learned about it. So he was one of the first customers at Fling Milwaukee, the city's first axe-throwing establishment, which opened in May.
He lined up inside what looks kind of like a batting cage, waiting his turn to hurl a hatchet at a target painted on a wooden wall.
"The first one I think I just tried to throw it a little too much. And then the second one it was a little less. And then that third one -- I kind of just let it fly on its own and it stuck. It felt really good," Hilleshiem says.
Hilleshiem says there's something satisfying about the "thunk" of a hatchet digging into the wood. In fact, that's what grabbed Fling owner Becky Cooper Clancy. She first threw an axe at a bar in Canada a few years ago.
"It was so fun. And the first time I landed an axe in the target, it was just such a visceral feeling of accomplishment that I was hooked from the very first time," Cooper Clancy says.
Cooper Clancy and her husband already owned Bounce, a family entertainment center in Milwaukee. It has an arcade, laser tag, restaurant, and bar. They decided to expand the facility to include axe-throwing. She admits that children can roam freely from one area to another. But Cooper Clancy says they're not in danger. Only paying customers -- older kids and adults -- can access the fenced-in throwing lanes.
"We designed our arena to be fully enclosed with a fence so that nobody is inside the throwing arena who shouldn't be. We're completely enclosed. We have locks on the gates, we have locks on the cabinets that store the axes themselves," she says.
Fling got its safety guidelines from the National Axe Throwing Federation, or NATF. So have other facilities, including an axe-throwing bar that just opened on the east side called AXE MKE.
"The NATF is a governing body for rules and trying to grow the sport as like a promotional entity, and so we're trying to bring the best of the best to be a part of that and really set the standard high and say, 'Hey, this is how it's done and you should do the same,'" Matt Wilson says. He is commissioner for the Toronto-based group.
Wilson helped establish the indoor version of axe throwing more than a decade ago. He's founder and CEO of a chain of axe-throwing bars called BATL. There are 14 locations in the U.S. and Canada, and BATL plans to open more in the United States soon.
"It just continues to grow in popularity and more and more organizations are popping up all the time, not just in North America but worldwide. I think it's definitely not at its peak at all," Wilson says.
Wilson says there are a couple of reasons the activity is so attractive. He says there's something "primal" about hurling a hatchet. He adds, there's an art to throwing axes, and joy in mastering the technique.
Jonathan Winski agrees with the appeal of the sport. He's co-founder of Midwest Knife & Axe Throwers. Winski has been tossing hatchets for decades and teaching people how, including in his yard in Fort Atkinson, WI.
Winski is pleased the sport is catching on. But as its popularity grows, he's worried that axe throwing facilities will crop up that don't follow best practices. "My concern is, is there someone teaching? Do they have a good knowledge base, some good history behind them? What is their experience? And is there some form of line or range monitor or supervisor that's keeping an eye on everything?"
Winski says his concern level rises, when bars and restaurants -- places that serve drinks -- offer axe throwing. "It's not an old fuddy-duddy, 'Oh alcohol is, you know, just going to just screw everything up.' That's not it. But alcohol definitely does play a part," he says.
Members of Midwest Knife & Axe Throwers travel throughout the summer, giving lessons at places like Renaissance fairs and pirate fests. He says it's not uncommon for people to walk up, beer in hand, and ask to throw an axe. Nor is it uncommon for instructors to turn them away, after picking up on subtle signs of inebriation.

Fox News TV aired the press conferenced today at 3:00pm Eastern time. I watched as they announced the suspected order and time frame as to how and what happened and described the scene as follows:
The results of investigation into the deaths of Chris Benoit and his family was released today and ruled as double homicide-suicide.
Friday: Wife Nancy was murder by stranglation.
Friday: After murdering wife called WWE told them he couldn't attend the event Saturday night because his son was coughing up blood.
Saturday AM: 7year old son murdered by asphyxiation in his own bedroom
Off and on during the day he sent text messages to friends which are not being released. Speculation is that they were scriptures taken from the bible.
Saturday PM or early Sunday AM: Benoit hung himself in the basement in his weight room.
There was no suicide note
The uncanny question is how could he stay in the house for 2 maybe 2 1/2 days with the 2 bodies before taking his own life. The inclusive answer is the possiblity of what is called "roid rage." According to some authorities they claim when experiences this they go from high to low and can hear voices leading to the point they don't know what they are doing.
I would think, pending full investigation, there could be a lot of pressure put on the wrestling association as well as the medical profession as far as steroids and their use is concerned.

Dermatobiasis (or South American miase) is an obligate mias, the development of which is provoked by the larva of the Dermatobia hominis. A characteristic feature of the disease is the appearance in the skin of the purulent node around the larva growing under the skin.
Causes of the dermatobiasis
The development of the South American miase is provoked by the ingress of the larvae of the human gadfly onto the skin. The female attaches its eggs to the bodies of various insects (such as mosquitoes, mites, horseflies), and when they sit on a man, these larvae detach from the carrier and fall under the skin. Dermatobiasis is most common in countries with tropical climates.
With dermatobiasis on the skin, inflammation is observed in the form of a tumor-like formation, as well as subcutaneous abscesses that have fistulous holes on the surface. The disease manifests itself in the form of a subcutaneous node resembling a carbuncle, measuring 2-3 cm in diameter.
Symptoms of the dermatobiasis
In the place where the larva penetrated under the skin, there is an abscess, which later opens, forming a hole in the skin, through which the air will enter the larva. After opening, a purulent-serous fluid is released from the abscess.
This larva ripens for 2.5 months, growing in the process to 2.5 cm in length. Pupation usually occurs outside the human body. In the process of "gestation" a person feels a slight pain in the location of the larva.
Complications and consequences
Complication of the disease can be the development of secondary infection. In the case of development of purulent complications, systemic antibiotics or antimicrobial ointments are used for treatment.
Diagnostics of the dermatobiasis
Diagnosis of dermatobiasis is carried out by studying the epidemiological anamnesis of the patient. In addition, it also turns out whether he was recently in places where the disease is common. Dermatobiasis is diagnosed on the basis of clinical picture - after detection in the skin of a purulent abscess, which has a hole. The lesion is carefully examined through a magnifying glass using side lighting. This makes it possible to detect the movement of larvae in the wound, which are placed in the form of colonies.
Treatment of the dermatobiasis
Dermatobiasis is treated by removing the larvae from the skin. For this, the lesion is first washed with disinfecting solutions (this may be furatsilin, potassium permanganate, etc.).
To make the larva easier to remove, a few drops of some sterile oil should be dripped into the hole - this will block the air to the parasite, which will force it to surface. In this case, it will be easily captured with a clamp or tweezers and pulled out. The cavity, freed from the larva, is treated with disinfectants and covered with an aseptic dressing.
Modern medicine recommends, before the procedure for removing the larvae, to perform treatment using the antiparasitic agent ivermectin. This is especially necessary if the patient has concomitant HIV infection.
Ivermectin should be consumed before meals, drinking plenty of medicine with water. Enough two-time intake of 1-2 doses of the drug with a 1-2-week interval between use. Upon completion of the treatment course, you must undergo a mandatory follow-up examination. Among the side effects of the drug: dizziness and drowsiness, worsening concentration, severe brain disorders, fainting, and general deterioration in health. Among the contra-indications of the drug is the period of pregnancy planning, bearing of the child, and also lactation; therapy with the use of medicinal herbs, medicines or dietary supplements; allergic reactions, weak immunity or the presence of asthma; when visiting regions with a high risk of infection with non-helminthic diseases.
Alternative treatment
In the case of dermatobiasis, alternative treatment can be used. For example, there is a recipe with birch tar and sulfur. It is necessary to take 4 boxes. Tar and mix them with sulfur (6 g) and petroleum jelly (3 lodges). The resulting ointment to smear the lesion on the skin.
Preventive maintenance of disease consists in observance of sanitary-and-hygienic norms. Being in tropical countries, you need to treat on time the ulcers arising on the body, purulent wounds and abscesses, regularly change dressings and sanitize injuries with the help of antiseptic solutions. It should also be borne in mind that the vectors of infectious diseases are actively attracted by the smell of pus. During your stay in South or Central America, you should use repellents, and wear clothes that help prevent bites of ticks or mosquitoes.
Dermatobiasis, provided that the necessary treatment is started on time, is eliminated quickly and without life-threatening consequences.

PROVIDENCE — The first Red Mass was celebrated almost 800 years ago in Paris' Le Sainte Chappelle.
The famous chapel was also then the home of one of Christendom's most revered relics: the Crown of Thorns.
"The Red Mass then claims a singular connection with this gem of Catholic piety," Father Ryan Connors, S.T.D., said during his homily at the annual Red Mass in Rhode Island, which was held Oct. 3 at Holy Ghost Church in Providence.
The particular parish was fitting, as the Red Mass is celebrated in part to invoke the Holy Spirit at the beginning of the Rhode Island Supreme Court's judicial year upon the attorneys, clerk magistrates, judges and other members of the legal community.
"It offers us a chance to pray for the grace of the Holy Spirit, that our decision-making and our efforts on behalf of whoever we are working for are guided by the Holy Spirit," said Bill Fields, an attorney who represents youths in the state's child welfare system.
Fields, a parishioner of Our Lady of Mercy Church in East Greenwich, is also active in the Thomas More Society of Rhode Island, which co-sponsors the Red Mass along with the Diocese of Providence.
"It's a chance for us to step back and think of things that are more important than our day-to-day worries and issues," Fields said. "It's an opportunity to be reminded that it's about the Holy Spirit working through us."
The Red Mass' name is derived from the red vestments — symbolizing the tongues of fire that represent the Holy Spirit — worn by the clergy. In antiquity, the justices who attended the Mass also wore scarlet robes.
"I love the history of it," said Paul Kessimian, a civil litigator in Rhode Island who has been attending the Red Mass since 2006.
"It's a throwback to tradition," Kessimian said. "And more important, it's a testament to the professionalism and history of the legal practice."
The Red Mass was an annual event in Rhode Island from the 1960s into the 1980s. With the establishment of the Thomas More Society of Rhode Island in 1998, the celebration of the Red Mass was restored on the second Wednesday of October.
"The Red Mass has become a cherished tradition of the Society, and hopefully, will continue to be firmly established in the community," said Joseph V. Cavanaugh, Jr., the president of the Thomas More Society in Rhode Island.
Monsignor Albert A. Kenney, S.T.L., the vicar general and moderator of the curia of the Diocese of Providence, celebrated the Oct. 3 Red Mass with Father Connors, a professor of moral theology at St. John's Seminary in Brighton, Massachusetts, and several other priests.
Father Connors, a priest of the Diocese of Providence who delivered the homily, emphasized the Red Mass's connection to the Crown of Thorns, a stark reminder of Christ's suffering and the temporary nature of the world's political and legal systems.
"We do well to root our prayer for the civic order upon the Lord's crown," Father Connors said. "The Crown of Thorns reminds us that this world is passing away. Earthly crowns, political power, pass away."
The suffering associated with the Crown of Thorns can also serve to remind one that the work of justice can come at a cost.
"Lawyers and judges are not immune from the logic of suffering," Father Connor said. "Sometimes doing justice is costly. Maintaining the rule of law may mean personal suffering to the lawgiver or judge."
More than a dozen judges, dressed in their black robes, sat together during the Mass. The judges delivered the Mass readings and presented the gifts for the Eucharistic liturgy. A post-Mass banquet was later held in the parish hall.
"I'm very grateful that the St. Thomas More society works so hard to organize such a beautiful Mass," said Terrence Donnelly, an assistant United States attorney in Providence who has been attending the local Red Mass since it was reinstituted in the late 1990s.
"I think it helps brothers and sisters in the legal profession to come together," Donnelly said, "And for a few brief moments focus our hearts and our thoughts on the most important parts of what we do, which is seeking justice and balancing it with mercy."

Club de Parapente "Les Ailes du Levant"
Sports , Sports activities , Parasailing at Mons
The club was created in 1995 by a group of enthusiasts living in Borinage.
The first flights took place on the Terril d'Hornu. The flight was to the West and to the East (two faces can be used on the same site, which was lucky for us).
We subsequently discovered another terril at Cuesmes (Le Levant) with another exposure (south-south-west) with a vertical drop of 90m. It soon became clear that this terril had interesting aerological potential.
As a result, more and more flyers joined the Borinage pilots to form their club which would bear the name of their favourite terril "Les Ailes du Levant" under the lead of Alain Grenier who became their president.
The club now has a little more than 70 members who come from the four corners of Belgium and the north of France. The club organises many outings abroad, especially in the Vosges, Lake Annecy, Savoie or the Alpes de Haute-Provence.
Today: The club has about thirty members, most from Hainaut but others from Brussels, Walloon Brabant and Liège.

Speed of Results5
Quality of Ingredient6
Customer Service4
Customer Feedback5
Throughout this review of a product called Turmeric, we will be stating the facts about it, as we intend to inform customers about this product before they make a purchase decision. We have seen that the manufacturer had formulated the product to help you increase flexibility, help support ligaments, tendons and joints, improve intestinal flora, as well as to cleanse and purify the body. The product is vegetarian-friendly.
The main ingredient found in the product is Organic Turmeric Rhizome Extract. The ingredient has proven that it can support ligaments, tendons and joints, as well as increase flexibility. The inactive ingredient in the product is Plant Cellulose.
You should visit a health practitioner for advice about your condition before you consume any product. The manufacturer recommended that you consume 1 capsule daily. The limited information that the manufacturer stipulated does not tell us what time of day we should take the dose or if we should incorporate meals with the dose.
Each product consists of 60 vegetarian capsules that you can purchase from Amazon for $19.99. Shipping costs are an additional expense. The manufacturer has discounted the product by $2.92, which is already factored into the purchase price.
Guarantee & Feedback
While we were scrutinizing the product, we saw the manufacturer had not offered a guarantee for it. Unfortunately, consumers will have to bear the risk when purchasing the product. In most instances, the manufacturer will leave out a guarantee when it knows that the product is incapable of producing results. We believe that is the case with this product.
Our Conclusive Review About Paradise Turmeric Review
While scrutinizing the product, we stumbled upon several aspects of the product that consumers will be interested to know. We saw that the manufacturer had formulated the product to help you increase flexibility, help support ligaments, tendons and joints, improve intestinal flora, as well as to cleanse and purify the body. The product is vegetarian-friendly. We also managed to discover that the product has its fair share of flaws. One of the flaws is the instructions that the manufacturer stipulated for the dosage. From the limited information, we do not know what time of day is best to consume the product or if we should incorporate meals with the doses. Not knowing that vital information prohibits consumers from getting the best results and exposes them to side effects. Another flaw is that the manufacturer has made shipping costs an additional expense. Our biggest concern regarding the product is the guarantee. We were troubled to find out that the manufacturer has not attached a guarantee for the product. That means consumers are the ones taking a risk whereas it should be the manufacturer. The manufacturer will omit a guarantee when it knows that the product is incapable of producing consistent results. After we checked the customer testimonials, we concluded that customers would be risking their money if they purchase the product, as several customers stated that the product did not help them.

Thin pancake filled with creamy avocado
You will need:
100 g plain white flour (Doves Farm Organic)
1 large egg
300 ml coconut milk (Koko Dairy Free Original + Calcium)
pinch of salt
pinch of bicarbonate of soda
2 tbsp sunflower oil
ripe avocado
1. Mix the coconut milk with the egg. Whisk till foamy.
2. Mix well the flour, salt, and bicarbonate of soda.
3. Add the dry mix to the wet mix in small amounts. Whisk well till all the ingredients combine and you get a smooth batter. Let it stand for 15 to 20 mins.
4. Heat you pan to medium hot.
5. Add the sunflower oil to the batter. Whisk well.
6. Brush the pan with (very) little oil and pour in the batter (for a 15 cm Ø it would be 1/2 ladle). Tilt the pan to coat evenly with the batter. Wait till the side is done (I like mine golden yellow). The edge will come off around the pan, making it easy to turn.
7. When the other side is done too turn the pancake out to a flat plate and cover with another plate to keep the pancake warm till all the batter is used up. Between the plates the crêpes do not dry up, they stay soft and warm.
8. Fill the crêpes with ripe and creamy, thin avocado slices. Serve with extra slices. Enjoy!
Allergy: gluten, egg.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO/KJCT) -- A 31-year-old man and his young daughter were found safe after they got lost on the Monument. The search lasted overnight and multiple agencies pitched in to find the two.
Now, the Mesa County Sheriff's Office reminding you how important it is to be prepared when you're out exploring. Perhaps most importantly is letting someone know where you will be and when you should be back.
"The weather is beautiful right now, everybody wants to get outside and enjoy everything that Mesa County has to offer but we want people to take a minute and to let people know just exactly where you're going to be," Megan Terlecky, a spokesperson for the Mesa County Sheriff's Office, said.
Especially right now, making sure you're ready to spend the night in the elements could make all the difference. It's important that you have clothes, water, food and the ability to call for help.
"I think the most important stuff is having plenty of water," Jackson Hill, a mountain biker, said. "I always have a snack because when I'm hungry I'm not doing so good."
As a last tip, the Mesa County Sheriff's office wants to remind folks that search and rescue is a free service here in the county. If you get lost stop where you're at, and call for help.
