From the Party of the Committees to Support Resistance - for Communism (CARC) – Italy:
A continuation of the interview with Alessandro della Malva, arrested by the police while facing the fascist patrols promoted by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government:
The comrades of the Marxist Leninist Communist Party of Turkey North Kurdistan (MLKP) asked us for an interview with one of the comrades arrested on latest July by the police while they were opposing the fascist patrols established by Berlusconi's government. Below the comrade Alessandro della Malva answers to the questions of Turkish comrades.
6- How did the event in July happen? Could you share this experience with us?
The proletarian patrol was announced to mass media already some days before, and this roused a mobilization about the matter, most of all because in Massa it had been organized a fascist patrol called SSS (clearly referred to the Nazi criminals). The proletarian patrol started from the park where CARC Party and ASP held their National Feasts. It was more than a patrol: it was a demonstration of 60/70 people who ran through the main street near the coast. When the demonstration arrived at the bar where usually some notorious local fascists used to meet, there was the police ranked to protect that scum. The fascists, feeling sure that police were protecting them, began to provoke, with fascist songs and Nazi hails, and when comrades approach them, they throw them chairs. The comrades reacted and accused the police to be there just for supporting the provocation. Then the comrades closed the demonstration going back to the park where they started. Nevertheless, fascists continued to provoke, going around near the park, some with sticks. So two comrades came back for seeing what was happening where we found the police ranked one hour and a half before. There they have been held by the political police and by its chief Valentini. The comrades warned the police about fascists' threatening attitude, but the police did not care of it. On the contrary, they asked the comrades to show their papers (even if they know them very well). The comrades did not do it, as they understood that they were plotting something for hitting us, and called the other comrades for telling what was happening. We arrived quickly protesting for such a fascist behaviour by the police. The result has been four comrades dragged in police headquarters, kicks, and blows by batons.
However, at the headquarters the police realized that it would not be easy at all to keep us quiet: we protested because they did no let enter an ambulance for a comrade blown at the head with a baton and outside as well there were the comrades immediately come for protesting. All night long, the demonstrators stayed out of the headquarters hitting the gate. The police was very troubled by what was happening at Massa and in other cities (Naples and Pistoia). P-CARC and ASP promoted railways blocks in Massa and Naples and a sit-in in Massa asking for liberating the comrades. Seven hours after two comrades were liberated and two stayed under arrest: the mobilization went on and police's switchboard became clogged by people calling to protest and to ask for news about the arrested.
Within the head quarters, the policemen showed friendship: they realized that outside thing could get worse and that the mobilization could grow.
The mobilization continued the day before at the tribunal. There the judge decided restrictive measures for the two comrades (to sign every day in carabineer's barracks until the day of the trial fixed on 9 October), but did not dare to confirm the arrest, thanks to the mobilization of the comrades who have been continuously to the attack and turned the repression against the police itself.
7- What kind of mistreatment did you face with under police custody? How was your attitude?
Firstly the police tried to use rough tactics, beating us on the road and trying to frighten us in the barracks, even stopping the aid for the wounded comrade, but when they realized that this could have been used against them they changed their attitude. Ad I told before, in front of us who were in the cell, hearing shouting and slogans by the comrades outside) the attitude was aimed to keep low the level of the clash: many of them told that they were on our side, that they knew we were not criminals. All of them were astonished by the mobilization so quickly aroused.
8- Has there been any change in the state's policies concerning the fascist patrols?
After the proletarian patrol of Massa there were stands also by members of the Government. Minister Maroni could not withdraw, as its party, the Lega Nord, has fighting migrants and patrols as warhorse, but Bossi, the leader of the Lega, had to justify himself. Berlusconi itself admitted that patrol are an act of mistrust for the Government, the members of the main leftist parties go so far as declaring that the Government is carrying out a wicked politics that creates further tensions, instead of giving security to the citizens. The leftist Major of Massa, who until then had condemned the SSS patrol very softly, decided to stand firmly and established a sanction of 400 Euros to be paid by who organizes patrols.
9- What will be the future of the antifascist struggle? Is this question still on the agenda of democratic forces?
As regards us, we shall use repression as an opportunity for creating mobilization: the trial against the arrested of Massa will be an opportunity to create mobilization. It has to become in the trial against the measures the Government adopted for facing the crisis and for security. We shall bring the Minister Maroni, fascists, and racists of this government in the box of the accused. Our struggle will be a concrete step for developing the self-organization of popular masses, The masse be the protagonist of building a People's Block Government that will open the way to socialism, the only way out of this rotten system.
The rank and file members of the parties of the bourgeois left sympathize with the experience of the proletarian patrols. Many people by now cannot stand any longer the fake antifascism of the corrupted leaders of their parties: facing the popular antifascism, those leaders unmask their true will and many of them will be obliged to follow us in our field.

Grandma's LAP
What happens when the youth of the church are connected to the whole body of the church? The church functions as the body. I wanted to briefly share a happy today. Over 100 members of First UMC in Jackson, Tennessee participate in a prayer ministry called Grandma's LAP. Don't you just love the name!
It's simple. A group of gradma's started praying for youth in the church and decided to invite others to join in. Every week, the members receive a card with two youths names on it for them to be in prayer for that week. One of our CYMT alumni serves as the Youth Minister at FUMC.
Simple concept but a powerful ministry. Of if the church would allow its members to curl up in Grandma's lap the world would be a better place.

The Video Game Store and I
I have mentioned on here a couple of times that I am working at a video game store now kind of as a fun little hobby. Well, yesterday I was officially hired. The kicker is that there were several key things I didn't know about this place:
1. I am the most educated person that works at either of the stores and this includes the owners.
2. I have more sales and merchandising experience than all of the people in the store combined...this also includes the owners.
3. I am the oldest person working at this store...other than the owners.
What does all of this mean?
Let's just say I got the job. Oh yeah, I also have one of the stores to kind of use as my sandbox and figure out how to increase sales and traffic into the store. I have been hired as a "leader" of the store which means that there are really only two people I answer to and I have three people that now pretty much do my bidding when I am around. So much for this just kind of being a hobby job that I go to and relax.
So tonight, I went into the store and started looking at different things that could be done right off the bat to give sales a quick boost. There were two areas that my boss and I tackled tonight that I think will help tremendously. First, we created a bargain bin of really crappy or old games, marked them down and placed it right in front of the door. Anyone that comes in is going to see the stuff and so hopefully we can sell some of it. The second thing I switched up was the placement of newer games in hopes to attract peoples' attention as they come into the door. It was at about this time when my boss realized that I actually do have some experience with this kind of thing thanks to 7.5 years of Costco and told me he liked what I was doing.
Toward the end of the night, my boss and I were both busily sorting and alphabetizing games when out of no where two cops burst through the front doors, poised to shoot someone. After both my boss and I fervently swearing we worked there, the cops told us that our "stick up" alarm had been pressed and they thought there was a robbery in progress and came to thwart any would be criminals. This was obviously not what was going on.
So now the cops are wandering around the store and my boss is on the phone with the owners trying to sort everything out. One cop walks passed my newly placed bargain bin and exclaims, "Wow! These games are cheap!" Yes, yes they are; it is like those games are there for a reason....hmm. He immediately finds one title he wants and I tell him he should find another one so that he can utilize the buy two and get one free special we have on those games. After a few seconds of looking, he hasn't found a game that sparked his interest so I decide to suggest something.
"How about Grand Theft Auto?"
The cop's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you have it for the Playstation 2?"
"Yes, I do. And this is the Grand Theft Auto with the badass 80's soundtrack too."
"Sweet! I'll take it!"
And this is how I sold Grand Theft Auto to two uniformed police officers who had originally come into my store looking to stop a crime.
My boss gave him another game he was looking for as his free game and with that, the cops decided that they didn't need to fill out any paperwork for the incident, which meant that we didn't have to pay a $25 fine for the false alarm. All is well that ends well in video game land.

MacVoices #1399
I was honored to join the last MacJury with Chuck Joiner, Dori Smith, and Peter Cohen. We talked about Mailbox and Dropbox, RSS and Google Reader and a bit about Kevin Lynch and Apple. It was a great conversation with some people smarter than me, and it was really fun to be a part of.
Thanks to Chuck Joiner for the invite and to the rest of the panel for taking it easy on me for my first appearance. Check it out at MacVoices.

I learned this prayer in 1995. Or was it 1996?
Committing prayers to memory provides a storehouse, a filing cabinet of prayers and thoughts, prayers to pull out, to recite, to pray, to rely on when things feel sad. Or tough. Teaching prayers to children passes on those memories. From one generation to the next. I like that thought.
I pray this prayer in every Mass .
Most certainly not because I am holy or good. Quite the reverse. I pray more simply because I am weak. I pray, I remember the words of St Paul ~ For when I am weak, then am I powerful ( 2 Corinthians 12:10)

Overall, I think this assignment is a good start for getting us to think about creating and designing unit plan (in the future). The stage 1 and 2 of the assignment were completed at earlier stage and I outlined the details of what I was going to include in stage 3 – learning plan. I got sick a week prior the due date to submit this assignment. There were two heavy assignments due on the same day, including this. I was on top of things and hoping to get a high distinction for this assignment, but with all the unforeseen circumstances, I can only do my best.
All my ideas for the learning plan was inspired by this particular website. If I will have to teach history in the future, this will be one of the website that I will seek ideas/inspirations from.
The ICT tools that I have included in my learning plan was Interactive Whiteboard, iPads, laptops/desktop computers etc. With the IWB, I felt like the teachers are in control with teaching and learning, there is little opportunity for students to be in control – using IWB.(might have to think more deeply – how to involve student in the use of IWB). Personally, I have never have the chance to use an IWB, would be interesting to learn how to use it. I have also included the use of iPads for students' assessment task.
I think I did alright, but I definitely can do better! I look forward to have a great professional experience (particularly I am hoping that I will be placed at a decent school and to be allocated with a good mentor!), so I can get higher mark for the last assignment. 🙂

This is a story about a journey…a journey not anticipated or planned, but a reluctant, miserable voyage brought on by a devastating illness. This unforeseen life journey became a battle against ignorance, uncertainity, fear, despair, misery and suffering, and death. For me as a Christian, it became a ceaseless effort…even a struggle, to understand God's purpose for terrible trials, and to find refuge in His promises.
Life changed forever when the doctor diagnosed my husband with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease in January of 2003. Extreme tragedy, dread, and grief surrounded us as the disease stalked him unmercifully. It finally defeated him with death after long months of torture. There were many challenges during our journey. We struggled to accept the inevitable, understand the disease and its consequences, to find appropriate medical care and treatment, and the daunting task to figure out how to access the many other resources, which would be required for his care. The mental, emotional, and heart-wrenching consequences of grief, despair, fear, helplessness, and then hopelessness were the greatest challenges of all.

The Book of Strange New Things (Michael Faber)
All of my books are still packed up, so I just grabbed the e-reader and picked whatever I had downloaded most recently. So the reading of this book wasn't exactly premeditated, but it was very good. This is a book intimately concerned with the idea of healing.
Peter blinked tears from his eyes, allowing him to see the doctor's face in focus. The ragged scar on Austin's jaw was as conspicuous as ever, but now, rather than wondering how Austin got it, Peter was struck by the scar's essential nature: it was not a disfigurement, it was a miracle. All the scars ever suffered by anyone in the whole of human history were not suffering but triumph: triumph against decay, triumph against death. The wounds on Peter's arm and leg (healing still), the scabs on his ears (gone now), every trifling scratch and burn and rash and bruise, thousands of injuries over the years, right back to the ankle-bones he'd broken the week before he'd met Bea, his skinned knees when he'd fallen off his bike as a kid, the nappy rash he'd probably experienced as a baby . . . none of them had stopped him being here today. He and Austin were comrades in stupendous luck. The gouge in Austin's chin, which must have been a gory mess when it was first inflicted, had not reduced the entire head to a slimy lump; it magicked itself into fresh pink flesh.
And this is what human beings are: self-healing bags of meat and brain.
We are all specialized forms of survivor, Peter reminded himself. We lack what we fundamentally need and forge ahead regardless, hurriedly hiding our wounds, disguising our ineptitude, bluffing our way through our weaknesses. No one – especially not a pastor – should lose sight of that truth.
This book hit me in some very personal places, specifically in the person I was eight or ten years ago. Peter Leigh is a missionary, having been a pastor in England. He started out as a substance abuse addict and petty criminal, but then he met a nurse who introduced him to Christianity. He's the sort of Christian that I was; more interested in loving and accepting people than in identifying who is going to hell. He's physically separated from his pregnant wife, but he didn't know she was pregnant when he went on the trip. They write letters to each other, but it's not enough. His wife sounds a lot like The Ex; pregnancy and childbearing change women. I suppose they could change women in several different ways, but with Bea (and The Ex), she becomes more domestic, less adventurous, less willing to endure. The universe shrinks to the size of a uterus, which is constantly under attack from the world outside. The man involved is therefore permanently inadequate because his job description has changed without his knowledge. He still thinks the world is a good and happy place, unaware of the reason for the barrage of bitterness and paranoia from the formerly peaceful woman at his side. Peter and Bea have a bit of an extreme circumstance, but what they go through in their relationship is hardly unique.
Extreme circumstance, you say? Tell me more.
Bea is in England at the end of the world. Society is collapsing around her. She's trying to hold together a job as a nurse in a hospital while being the emotional support for the people in their congregation, all while going through early pregnancy, and it's too much strain for anyone to do that with grace. In Faber's book, we're only about six months away from Mad Max, or Lord of the Flies. Once the infrastructure goes, the garbage stops getting picked up and the lights go out, London falls prey to panic and gang rule, like America in every post-apocalyptic film you've ever seen. For Bea, the last straw is when street kids torture her cat and the vet puts it to sleep instead of healing it. I don't get it myself, being unattached to pets, but she ditches God and country and finds a way to survive.
Peter, meanwhile, being the actual protagonist, has been given the job of ministering to aliens on a distant planet. Strange though that might seem, people who have never seen something as simple as a lake or the type of storm that gains strength over them, are drawn to the message about someone who could make the storm stop. Jesus promises that he will heal, and that those who love him will not die. The perfect message for a group of beings who cannot self-heal. These aliens do not have immune systems, so if something falls on a hand and there's a bruise, it just stays bruised while the flesh rots and the person eventually dies. Some of the aliens accept Jesus, while others just lap up modern medicine. And that is the promise of humanity, what we have to give the universe: our ability to heal ourselves.
The people are completely alien. Bodies are vaguely human-shaped, but the face is nothing at all face-like. It puts most of the humans off. I found the alien faces difficult to visualize from Faber's description; one of those cases where a picture would really have helped. As the aliens become more familiar, they actually became harder to visualize as Faber imagines them; the human tendency to see familiar ideas in familiar shapes took over, and in my mind their faces became increasingly human as I read.
This book is also interesting linguistically, because the aliens of course have their own language. They don't seem to have vowels, and many of our consonants are difficult for them. And of course, being aliens, the familiar concepts of ancient Palestine are incomprehensible. Peter translates parts of the Bible into language that is easier for them, and sometimes they're okay with it, but not always.
"The Lord be he who care for me," he recited as he shuffled through the darkness. "I will need no more." This voice was the same one he used for preaching: not strident, but quite loud and with each word articulated clearly. The moisture in the atmosphere swallowed the sounds before they had a chance to carry very far. "He bid me lie in green land down. He lead me by river where no one can drown. He make my soul like new again. He lead me in the path of Good. He do all this, for he be God. Yea, though I walk through the long dark corridor of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your care wand make me feel no harm can come. You feed me even while unfriendly men look on in envy. You rub healing oil on my head. My cup runneth over. Good unfolding and comfort will keep me company, every day of my life. I will dwell in the home of the Lord forever."
It is easy to forget how beautiful words are when you've heard and sung them in set ways your entire life. Faber's translations made these Bible passages new to me, made me pay attention to them, showed me their beauty in a new light. The Bible itself is The Book of Strange New Things from the title. I'm not saying I'm going back to that belief system, only that I can appreciate these words that have survived thousands of years.
It actually takes a lot for someone to die. The human body is designed not to quit.
I think this is true not only of the body, but of the . . . what can I call it? The human soul? Heart? Mind? The pain and confusion of being a prospective father rushed back on me this weekend, as well as the struggles of being someone called by God to love and serve humanity, whilst knowing oneself to be imperfect and inadequate. And being in love with someone you can't touch, and having faith in what you can't see, and adapting to a new culture so completely that you lose touch with your own, and being isolated and foreign everywhere. In some ways this book brought up some of my worst mental habits.
In the move, and adapting to the new living situation, I've not been taking care of myself as I ought. Insufficient sleep and nutrition are addling my head, which opens possibilities for religion and other things that present themselves as lifelines. I'm going to have to keep my self in check, no matter how hard that might be.
Peter isn't the first missionary to these people. The first was Kurtzberg, who abandoned both the human and alien settlements to die alone. In the acknowledgments Faber says that he's named for Jack Kirby, the comic book writer, but the name also gives the book this Heart of Darkness feel; when Peter runs into the mad linguist, I half-expect him to say, "Mistah Kurtz – he dead."
This is a good book. Maybe a little problematic for me, but if you don't have my hangups, maybe it won't be for you. It's sad, though; no hopeful note at the end, and Peter's final message to his flock is in their language. Maybe Faber gave us enough that if I had been taking notes I could figure out what he says to them, but I didn't, so Peter's message of doubt and apology is hidden from me. But when they forgive him, it's a beautiful and touching scene.
After reading this, I can't say how much of Peter's religion Faber believes, but he presents it effectively, unlike some of the other Christian characters I've seen in recent British fiction. He also does a good job of presenting American speech without Britishisms, which is fantastically hard to do. Our speech is shaped by our surroundings, so when you live in Scotland your characters usually sound Scottish, or at least UK-English-speaking, but Faber gives us believable Americans. It's nicely done.
Healing. Faith. Loss. Death. The end of one world and the beginning of something new. Survival. Technology used and rejected. Big issues, handled gently and realistically.

Kerrisdale Capital, a major shareholder for Morgans Hotel Group, wants new directors in charge, just days after CEO Michael Gross stepped down.
In a letter filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, New York-based Kerrisdale wrote to fellow stakeholders that a new board will need to sell the hotel operator because the current directors "do not adequately represent" their interests. The investment firm plans to nominate a fresh slate of directors next year.
The call comes on the heels of a similar request from Ron Burkle, whose Yucaipa Companies holds $230 million in shares of Morgans. He demanded Tuesday that the company find a buyer, as previously reported. Burkle was critical of the takeover of Morgans by Jason Kalisman's firm OTK Associates. Gross stepped down Monday after not receiving a seat on the new board. [Bloomberg News] — Mark Maurer

I only had two sips of my morning coffee before I attempted to get out of the car. I was holding my keys in one hand and a couple of bags on my shoulder. I opened the door to get out and the coffee slipped out of my hand and bounced across my legs and in the air before I could regain control of my cup. (Luckily it was a recyclable to go cup with a lid.). When the coffee incident was over, I had HUGE spots of coffee on my jeans, shirt, and car seat. What a mess! My immediate reaction was to laugh. Yep, I laughed over spilled coffee.
It got me thinking about how much I've changed. A few years ago, my reaction would have been very different. I would have been so mad at myself for spilling the coffee and angry at everyone in my path the rest of the morning. It was hard for me to let things go back then. I could turn a small thing like spilling coffee into such a big deal. But over the years, I've learned how to keep things right-sized in my life. Getting upset does not serve me. Instead, I can laugh it off, say "oops" and move on. What a feeling!
How we react to things is a good way to recognize where we are on the barometer of life. If I hadn't spilled the coffee on myself this morning, then I would not have noticed my reaction. Maybe it wasn't an accident after all. Maybe it was the universe sending me a Jav-A-Ha moment.

XIV - The Autonomic Nervous System
This division of the PNS innervates the nonvoluntary organs. Specifically, its target tissues are smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands. It has been termed an efferent system because of its anatomy, but in reality there is an afferent component returning from receptors in the organs which are innervated. The afferent fibers are mixed in with somatic fibers and are therefore not anatomically distinct as are the efferent fibers.
A. Function - The ANS functions to maintain the vegetative activities of the body. By this we mean the homeostatic functions such as respiration, blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, etc. The ANS does not necessarily initiate any of these functions, but rather regulates them so that homeostasis is maintained.
B. Basic divisions - There are two basic divisions of the ANS: the sympathetic division (thoraco-lumbar) and the parasympathetic (cranio-sacral).Most target tissues receive innervation from both divisions, but some receive innervation from only one division.
C. General anatomy - Both divisions have efferent pathways which consist of two neurons. The first neuron is termed the preganglionic and arises in the CNS. The second neuron arises from a ganglion outside of the CNS. It runs to the target organ.
D. Anatomy of the sympathetic division
1. The preganglionic fibers arise from the thoracic and upper lumbar regions of the cord, hence the anatomical name. The cell bodies are located in the gray matter of the lateral columns of the cord.
2. Generally, the preganglionic fibers are short and the postganglionic fibers long.
3. The postganglionic fibers arise from vertebral chain ganglia (located in chains next to the vertebral column in the sympathetic and lumbar regions) and from the collateral ganglia located in front of the vertebrae and close to major branches of the abdominal aorta. These collateral ganglia are associated with sympathetic plexuses.
4. The preganglionic fibers arise in the cord and exit via the ventral root of the appropriate spinal nerve. It exits the nerve via the white ramus which connects to a vertebral ganglion. Once in the ganglion, one of three things may happen.
a. The preganglionic fiber may synapse with the post ganglion fiber which will then rejoin the spinal nerve via a connection known as the gray ramus.
b. The preganglionic fiber may run through a connecting ramus another sympathetic chain ganglion where it will synapse with a postganglionic fiber which then exits via the gray ramus.
c. The preganglionic fiber may run through the chain ganglion an exit via a splanchnic nerve which runs to a collateral ganglion. In the collateral ganglion the preganglionic fiber synapses with the postganglionic fiber.
5. The collateral ganglia along with the postganglionic fibers exiting them form what are known as sympathetic plexuses. There are three such ganglia.
a. Celiac (solar plexus) - This is situated at the base of the celiac artery. It supplies innervation to the stomach, liver, pancreas, and spleen.
b. Superior mesenteric ganglion - This is found near the base of the superior mesenteric artery. It supplies the the small intestine and the initial part of the large intestine.
c. Inferior mesenteric ganglion - This is located near the base of the inferior mesenteric artery. It supplies the terminal part of the large intestine, the kidney, bladder, and sex organs.
6. Adrenal medullae - These are the inner portions of the adrenal glands. They consist of modified sympathetic ganglia. They release into the blood stream the hormones epinephrine and no repinephrine amplifying the effects of the sympathetic division on its target tissues.
E. Anatomy of the parasympathetic division - The preganglionic neurons arise from the brain and the sacral division of the spinal cord. Generally the preganglionic neuron is much longer than the postganglionic. The preganglionic fibers end in terminal ganglia which are located very close to the target organ and sometimes in the wall of the target organ. Postganglionic fibers are very short. The parasympathetic outflow is via four cranial nerves and the sacral part of the cord. The cranial nerves are as follows.
l. Oculomotor - Supplies fibers to the ciliary muscles (focusing) and the pupillary constrictors (light control) of the eye.
2. Facial - Sends fibers to the salivary glands and mucous membranes of the head.
3. Glossopharyngeal - Fibers exit this nerve to the salivary glands and mucous membranes of the head.
The sacral portion of the parasympathetic division flows out through sacral nerves 2,3, and 4. These nerves unite to form the pelvic nerve which supplies the pelvic organs including the lower part of the large intestine, the urinary bladder, and the genitalia.
F. Physiology of the ANS
1. Neurotransmitters - It is the neurotransmitters which effect the
actions of the ANS. The neurotransmitters are as follows.
a. Acetylcholine - Transmitter for the preganglionic fibers of both divisions and the postganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic division.
b. Norepinephrine - Transmitter for the postganglionic fibers of the sympathetic division.
c. Exceptions - The postganglionic fibers which innervate the sweat glands are derived from the sympathetic division but release acetylcholine instead of norepinephrine.
d. Nitric oxide - This is released by some of the post ganglionic fibers of the sympathetic division, specifically those which innervate smooth muscle in the walls of blood vessels found in skeletal muscle and the brain. The effect is to cause immediate dilation.
Fibers which release acetylcholine are termed cholinergic, and those which release norepinephrine are termed adrenergic. Fibers which release nitric oxide are termed nitroxidergic.
2. Receptors - The effects that the neurotransmitters have on their target tissue is determined by the type of receptor found upon that tissue. If there is no receptor, then there will be no effect.
a. Acetylcholine receptors
(1) Nicotinic receptors - These are found on all of the postganglionic fibers of both the sympathetic and parasympathetic tissues. They are also found on the hormone producing cells of the adrenal medulla. Binding of Ach to nicotinic receptors is always excitatory.
(2) Muscarinic receptors - Occur on the target tissues innervated by parasympathetic postganglionic fibers. Binding of Ach with muscarinic receptors may be excitatory or inhibitory.
b. Norepinephrine receptors - There are adrenergic receptors for both norepinephrine and epinephrine which is released by the adrenal medulla, an endocrine gland under sympathetic control. Sympathetic postganglionic fibers release only norepinephrine, but the adrenal medulla releases both epinephrine and norepinephrine. The adrenal medulla amplifies the effects of the sympathetic division. The two receptors are termed alpha and beta. Most target cells contain one or the other, but some contain both. Norepinephrine tends to effect alpha receptors, but epinephrine effects both.
(1) Alpha receptors - When stimulated these receptors tend to increase the permeability of excitable membranes to sodium and therefore initiate action potentials. They are therefore considered excitatory.
(2) Beta receptors - Once activated these tend to increase the permeability of the excitable cell membrane to potassium. The result is hyperpolarization and consequently these receptors are considered to be inhibitory.
There are exceptions to these rules. For example stimulation of alpha receptors in the intestine results in inhibition while excitation of the heart by norepinephrine is mediated by beta receptors. That is why drugs that function as beta blockers will slow down the heart.
3. General effects - Most organs receive innervation from both divisions. When this is the case it is found that one division speeds up or enhances activity while the other slows down the organ activity. Generally, sympathetic stimulation accelerates those activities which are associated with "fight or flight." These include such things as heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood flow to the muscles, etc. It is important to note that the sympathetic divisions is anatomically interconnected and arranged for mass discharge. Thus, a stressful situation can activate all of the sympathetically controlled aspects of the body almost instantly. The parasympathetic division accelerates the more vegetative activities of the body such as digestion, salivation etc. The parasympathetic division is not arranged for mass discharge.
4. Specific effects - Below is a table which lists the specific effects of each division on the target organs.
Organ Sympathetic Parasympathetic
Heart Accelerates Slows
Smooth muscle organs
Piloerectors contract
Digestive system inhibit stimulate
Urinary bladder inhibit stimulate
Bronchioles dilate constrict
Pupil dilate constrict

Coronary dilate constrict
Skeletal muscle dilate (cholin) -
Viscera constriction -
Digestive decrease secretion increase secretion
Liver increase blood -
Sweat glands secrete -
Lacrimal glands - secrete
Penis ejaculation erection
Vagina/clitoris vaginal contract clitoral erection
5. Maintenance of homeostasis - As the list above illustrates, the ANS plays a major role in maintaining the internal environment and therefore homeostasis. Conditions which decrease the effectiveness of the ANS lead to a rapid loss of homeostasis.
6. Role of the hypothalamus - The hypothalamus coordinates all of the activities of the ANS. It is the central integrating center for virtually all autonomic functions. To illustrate the role of the hypothalamus we will look at the regulation of body temperature.
a. Normal body temperature is 370C. This temperature will be maintained in a nude person with ambient temperatures ranging from l5 to 550C. Located in the hypothalamus is a thermostat that monitors blood temperature. If the blood temperature should rise above normal body temperature the following events will occur.
(1) The blood vessels to the skin dilate. The blood conducts the heat of the body to the skin where it is lost to the environment. Dilating these blood vessels allows greater volumes of blood to the skin to lose heat. Dilation is brought about by decreased sympathetic stimulation.
(2) Sweat is released to the surface of the skin by sympathetic stimulation of the sweat glands. The evaporation of sweat from the skin removes heat.
(3) Behavioral modification occurs so that their is a tendency to avoid strenuous activity which generates excess body heat. This function involves the entire CNS.
If the temperature falls below 37o the following events will occur.
(1) Shivering - These are fine contractions of the skeletal muscle which increase body temperature.
(2) Increasing metabolism - This is accomplished by increasing the levels of the hormones epinephrine and thyroxine, both of which increase overall metabolic rate and therefore generate more heat. Both are regulated by the hypothalamus, thyroxine indirectly, and epinephrine by means of the sympathetic division.
(3) Heat loss from the body is reduced by closing down the circulation to the skin via vasoconstriction. This is brought about by sympathetic stimulation to the blood vessels of the skin.
Through these mechanisms a constant body temperature is maintained via ANS activity coordinated by the hypothalamus.
b. Fever - This occurs when the body temperature rises above normal. It is due to a resetting of the hypothalamic thermostat to a higher level. The resetting is brought about by a hormone-like substance termed prostaglandin.
(1) Substances that cause the synthesis of the prostaglandin are termed pyrogens. Many microorganisms and/or their products stimulate release of defensive molecules which serve as pyrogens.
(2) Once the thermostat is set higher then the heat generating mechanisms of the body kick into operation. The individual then begins to shiver and teeth will chatter.
(3) The fever "breaks" when the thermostat is reset to normal temperature. The hypothalamus reads to high blood temperature as abnormal now and coordinates heat loss mechanisms. Profuse sweating occurs at this time.
(4) Substances which prevent fever are termed antipyretics. The most famous is aspirin which works by blocking the synthesis of the fever inducing prostaglandin.
(5) Fever was at one time thought to be unhealthy, but it is now thought that moderate fevers are beneficial in fighting disease.
(6) Because of the role which the ANS plays in temperature regulation, any drug which affects ANS functioning can also affect body temperature.
G. Biofeedback - Although the ANS normally is not under conscious control, techniques have been developed which teach people to exert at least limited control. The process is termed biofeedback. Individuals are hooked to some type of monitor that gives them a visible signal of an autonomic function. They then concentrate on changing the function in a desirable direction. Limited success has been obtained and the procedure is usually tedious and expensive.

In the winter months, we run our horses and ponies in the stubble fields surrounding the house.
There are many advantages to this arrangement: using the stubble fields (where there is plenty of rough grazing) rests our grass fields - good for the pasture and minimises parasite problems.
As the stubble fields are nice and close to the stables, it's also easy to get youngsters in for some handling, or geriatrics in for a few hours' respite from the rain which has been pelting down recently. This is especially valuable during these short hours of daylight.
We've been getting the foals in regularly for some handling - as they didn't get much over the summer while I was away. This helps to prepare them for weaning, which we'll do around Christmas, and also is preparing them for (shhhh!) being microchipped next week, as the law now requires.
We haven't as yet started supplementary feeding (bar a little bite of hay if something's in) as they absolutely haven't needed it: one or two mares are actually waddling! Tsk. Seriously, it's our only opportunity to get some weight off the Highlands before they face the spring grass again. The mild weather however, means that the grass in the stubbles is still actually growing - as I type this, the thermometer outside is registering 12 degrees (grass starts to grow at 6). I wonder if we'll end up like New Zealand, with year-round grass growth?
Another advantage - or perhaps not- of having them all near the house is that I can watch them from my office window. (I'm supposed to be writing, but hey...)
It is fascinating to watch closely the herd dynamics - who pals up with whom as a grazing buddy, who prefers to graze on their own on the fringe of the group. The foals and yearlings are getting bolder and more cheeky towards the older horses, until they overstep the boundaries and are sent scuttling by an exasperated adult.
It is a very settled herd, where each individual seems to know their place. I never witness kicking or biting (bar the foals, in play). The most aggression is the odd bit of face-pulling.
I know how lucky we are to be able to keep our animals in a semi-natural way, with plenty of space for all. I recently refused to sell a 2 yo to a buyer who wanted to keep him in a yard with no winter turnout at all. I know many horses are kept like that from necessity, but it's far from ideal, especially for a growing, boisterous youngster - probably for any horse, come to that.
We have bought in thoroughbreds out of training in the past who didn't know how to graze having been kept in stables all their life: they would just mooch around by the gate, not eating (food only comes in a bucket or haynet obviously) staring wistfully at their box door. It wasn't long before they got the hang of it and started to get cheeky about being caught though!

I used to be a member of the Labour Party back in the early nineties, and I campaigned with Nick Raynsford in the 1992 general election in Greenwich where I was living at the time. When Labour lost that election I went to live in Italy, declaring that I would not return to Britain until there was a Labour government, which is what I did. However, this New Labour Party that I found on my return to the UK was unrecognisable, and although I continued to vote labour, I didn't really identify with them as I had in the past. That all changed with the election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party, and I am now proud to be a member of the party once more. So why am I so excited about Jeremy Corbyn?
- He wants to tackle the deficit by investing in Britain and growing the economy, rather than stifling growth through cuts and austerity.
- He believes in renationalisation of the railways and the energy companies. These should not be run to make profits for individuals, but should be run by the government for the people.
- He would scrap university tuition fees so that young people can once more get an education without saddling themselves with tens of thousands of pounds of debt. Education should not be an investment that an individual makes for their own personal gain but an investment that the government makes in its people so that they can be an asset to society.
- He would bring academies and free schools back under the control of local authorities rather than private companies with their own agendas.
- He would introduce rent controls. This would mean that people have more money in their pockets to spend in the economy. It would also mean that landlords would not be so quick to buy up all the properties, pushing up house prices out of the reach of ordinary families. Rent control would reduce the amount that tax payers have to pay to private landlords in housing benefit.
- He would build more much-needed council houses.
- He rides a bicycle.
- He supports a national maximum wage. This would help to close the widening gap between the richest and the poorest.
- He wants an end to private involvement in the NHS.
- He has integrity. I am tired of the lies and the nastiness of our current government.
Some say he is unelectable. But people originally said he'd never get enough nominations to run for leader. Then they said he'd never win the leadership election. He will prove them wrong again.

Ingmar Bergman died todayJuly 30, 2007
I feel rather ignorant having seen only 3 of his films. But I do understand that his passing is a sad day for film lovers and film makers. He was an influential director, and I think I will make an effort to see more of his films. I do remember finding The Seventh Seal to be remarkable in its cinematography and pacing, even if I found the idea of a humanized "death" to be a bit silly. Thanks to that film I was more readily accepting of the humanized death in "Meet Joe Black", which was a flawed yet touching film.


text: Ryan, my customer has been emailing and phoning each other for two days. He wanted a specific 2014 Mazda 6 sport, red with sand interior. We finally agreed on the drive-out price on the phone and he asked me if he could bring the certified check. I Told him just pay with his personal check. So he said he would come in in the next hour or two. So I sent the car for details. When he came in it was clean already. And he test drove it and liked it.

Confrontation Is Actually Good For The Soul
For as long as I can remember, I've never been the type of person to start a conflict. It's always just been easier for me to keep the peace and placate people than have to point out to them what the actual issue is and have to discuss it. As I grew, so did my ability to skirt around an issue; dealing with it internally just always seemed easier and a lot less stressful. It didn't take me long to realise my determination in avoiding confrontation gave room for people to take advantage of me because they knew I wouldn't say or do anything about it.
I wish I could say I changed my life and now seize every opportunity to be confrontational, but this isn't that kind of story. As life would have it, I'm still very uneasy about calling people out when they offend me or fall out of line. However, I can happily say I have developed a system that works – the striking system. Basically, what I do is mark people when they do something I don't particular like. I deal with it internally, as usual, and get over it. Every offence is one mark/strike, and then I confront the person on the fifth.
Even though I'm not exactly being confrontational in the full scale of the word, I still feel like it helps a little. In the time I have been operating with ,my five strike system, I have been able to resolve some issues and often end up thinking maybe I should have just confronted the person from the onset. Still, it's a work in progress.
I understand how it might be difficult to confront someone you're involved with – either romantically or platonically. Sometimes, we're afraid if we confront this person, we may hurt his/her feelings. Maybe we're afraid we'll lose this person if we express that we are dissatisfied with something they've done. In some cases, people avoid confrontation because they believe the person won't see things from their point of view and the point of expressing these thoughts will be lost. In most cases, people avoid confrontation because they are afraid of rejection, and it's easier to just overlook things than having to deal with the pain.
Even when I'm about to confront someone after their fifth strike, I still find myself getting cold feet from time to time. I start to think maybe I should just let it go, or let the person have one more strike. When this happens, I remind myself that confrontation has proven to have positive effects. The most important effect confrontation has had in my life thus far is that it frees me from the burden of the situation. A tense situation has a way of looming over a person, and affecting everything you do – even if they aren't directly connected to that person. When you have a discussion about the situation with the person in question, it frees your mind and soul from the issue. Tense circumstances tend to loom over us and cast a shadow on the rest of our lives.
You may not believe it, but conflict and conflict resolution actually festers a healthy culture of honesty in your relationships. The more people carefully confront each other, the more they get a better sense of a working relationship with one another. As time goes on, you'll feel more comfortable being honest with each other, and trusting each other. In a weird way, you trust a person more when you've had disagreements with the person, worked it out amicably, and maintained a good relationship. These are the things that actually bring people closer- staying together in spite of conflicts, and not because there isn't any.

Earlier this week we heard a community comment on KINS featuring Erin Dunn of the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce.
She expressed extreme concern over the very real crisis of not being able to attract and retain qualified medical staff in the county. She says "having beautiful scenery is just not enough".
She goes on to blame the lack of qualified doctors and nurses on completely illogical grounds. She laid out her list:
1."There's not enough shopping."
2."Travel is too difficult."
3."They're just not hip to the marijuana culture".
She then dismissed the first two and went after the "Marijuana Culture", saying it promotes a "lack of professionalism".
So….it's the "marijuana culture" that caused the murder of Father Freed and other high profile killings making Eureka more dangerous than the ghetto's of Richmond. Wrong Ms. Dunn. Eureka is one of the most stringent enforcers of marijuana laws. In fact, Eureka probably has the fewest marijuana grows of any municipality in the county! Yet, even with all that marijuana enforcement, violent crime is rising exponentially.
She finally wound up her thesis by concluding that we don't pay medical professionals enough. She may be right about the lower pay, but the real culprit here complete escapes her. She, like so many of the movers and shakers around this county, is in complete denial about the out of control crime wave sweeping this county and particularly the county seat of Eureka. The daily grind of robberies, shootings, stabbings, rapes and murders is what is taking a toll on professionals. Let's face it, their jobs are more portable than yours and ours. If you could leave Eureka with a guaranteed 6 figure salary and the comfort of knowing you live in a safe community, wouldn't you be more than tempted?
This community is in a crisis. Not a funding crisis for doctors and nurses, but a quality of life crisis. The ramifications are dreary, and the cause is morbid. Humboldt County, one of the most naturally beautiful places in the United States, is so filled with crime and disorder that you can't even pay professionals to move here. Somethings gotta give…..

This book, To Capture Her Heart, wasn't my favorite.
According to the back of the book, "It is 1653 and Heather Flower, a princess of the Montaukett tribe, is celebrating her wedding feast when a rival tribe attacks, killing the groom and kidnapping her. Though her ransom is paid by an Englishman, she is bound by her captors and left to die-until she finds herself rescued by handsome Dutch Lieutenant Dirk Van Buren.
Still tender from her loss, Heather Flower begins to heal in the home of the Hortons, English friends of her people. Torn between her affection for Dirk and her longtime friendship with Ben Horton, Heather Flower must make a difficult choice-stay true to her friend or follow her heart.
Exploring a unique slice of history, Rebecca DeMarino transports you to the wild land that would eventually become Long Island, New York."
I thought this book was very hard to understand and keep up with. Every little noise that happened around me was distracting. Finally I just put it down about 50 pages from the end.
It is the second in a series and I did not read the first one. That might have made it easier to read.
I have another book I have to read, but once I'm done that one I'll come back to this one and finish it.

Retailers say they are "nervously awaiting" the outcome of talks
Businesses in Dublin city say they saw a loss in sales following the weekend bus strike.
The latest round of strike action - on Friday and Saturday - saw a decrease in footfall and sales for city businesses.
Dublin city's Business Improvement District (BID), DublinTown, say footfall figures were down by 9% on Friday and 16% on Saturday.
Results from a survey conducted by the organisation showed 90% of traders saw a reduction in their takings.
The most common figure was a reduction in the region of 30% of sales - while 15% of traders say their sales were down by over 50%.
According to DublinTown, this level of sales reduction is "unsustainable" for many of their members.
"Already one-third of businesses are actively considering their opening hours due to the impacts of the bus strike," the group says.
DublinTown CEO Richard Guiney commented: "We are pleased to see a return of the parties to the WRC (Workplace Relations Commission) and hope that progress will be made in addressing the outstanding issues between the parties.
"City centre traders will be nervously awaiting the outcome of the talks.
"A prolonged strike, particularly one that stretches into the Christmas period, could prove too much for many businesses."
Management and unions are holding what has been described as "exploratory discussions" this afternoon, in a bid to resolve the ongoing pay dispute.
Further work stoppages are planned for Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday of this week - as well as 10 more days next month.

It's probably common knowledge to say that Prague is one of the most majestic places to visit. With all its sights and sounds, Prague definitely stands out as beautiful and mysterious. Still, one has to exercise care when traveling in a new place, especially in Prague. It always pays to be the kind of person that thinks ahead, and it pays even more when you're in a strange or foreign land.
You probably didn't expect it, but one day, in the midst of the hustle and bustle of sightseeing, you suddenly get sick. It's a bad case of stomach flu, and everyone says you need to be taken to the hospital. You realize you don't have travel insurance. Oh no. It pays to have all the preparations taken cared of when traveling. A good health insurance like the zorgverzekering afsluiten voor 18 jaar could come in handy.
Whenever you travel abroad, it's always best to make sure that you have travel insurance such as the 18 jaar zilveren kruis. Now, since you're in Prague, the most recommended features of this would be the kind that covers ambulances, an emergency flight home, theft, loss, and medical problems.
Again, it's good to be able to travel and see the world. But whenever you do, also place safety and health at the top of your list.
I so agree with the points you raised here! Having a good insurance, especially when traveling is a big consideration. Thank you and more power to your blog!
If you are a frequent traveler, it's a must to get a travel insurance. This would help you thru times of accidents and other things that could get in th way.
Travel insurance can sometimes be very difficult to get. Especially if you have no history of travel.
Prague is such a beautiful place. It often resemble a fairy-tale like place for me. I love spending all my summers there. 🙂

The UN's emergency Ebola response headquarters in Ghana's capital, Accra, is to close as the outbreak slows. The head of the mission, Peter Graaff, met the Ghanaian president to thank the country for hosting the agency since it was set up in September last year.
A small team will stay until the end of June to co-ordinate air operations, the agency, known as Unmeer, said. Ghana has not been affected by the epidemic in West Africa, which has killed more than 11,000 people. The BBC's Africa health correspondent Anne Soy says the missions set up its headquarters in Accra as it was far enough away from the affected countries, where there was logistical lockdown, but close enough the epicentre of the outbreak. "By allowing us to set up our headquarter in Accra, President [John ] Mahama demonstrated extraordinary leadership and solidarity," Mr Graaff said in a statement.
"He made Ghana the only open gateway to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone thus allowing the movement of thousands of Ebola responders and medical and essential supplies when they were most needed."
As a result, Unmeer said Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone now had the necessary response capabilities in place to efficiently test, treat and isolate Ebola patients.
President Mahama said the downsizing of Unmeer was a sign of success for "short and sharp interventions".
Most of the mission's staff and assets have been moved to Sierra Leone and Guinea, where 24 new cases of Ebola were reported in the last week.
Last month, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Liberia free of Ebola as the country had had no new cases in 42 days.

As it is my short film's genre, it was one of the first words I searched.
As you can see above, it's a surprisingly popular topic, in the last year the peak was between March the 19th and the 25th of 2017. I decided to research these dates to see if anything important happened that might have affected this, but the only thing that I found out was that Spring started around that time.
Close related topics are, of course, film and cinema, as well as Osnabrück, a city in north-west Germany. I searched "Osnabrück arthouse" to find out how it related to arthouse and in this search I found out that there is a popular arthouse cinema in Osnabrück.
The UK is in the top 4 most interested countries in "arthouse".
The second word I searched was the name of the film, "Venus" which is also the name of the planet and closed related to Greek mythology.
Surprisingly it's not a very popular search, its peak this year was between January 22nd and 28th (only 28).
The top country that searches "venus" is Paraguay, second most popular is Argentina followed by Romania and Uruguay. United Kingdom not even making it to the Top 10 list.
The top related topic is, of course the planet Venus, followed by the clothing company and the tennis player, Venus Williams. Some of the related queries are Venus Williams, Mars, my venus (when you search it, the thing that shows up is Oh My Venus which is the 4th more searched related query, which is a South Korean TV series), Oh my venus, la venus (a song by X Japan and a french book called "La Vénus d'Ille" about the statue of venus) and lastly Venus jupiter which relates to astrology.

Has anyone tried the German food here? From this blog ...
"Jude and I went on a Local's Night (Monday or Thursday) when a three-course prix fixe meal is priced at an astounding $9.95 in appreciation for local patronage ... We went instead for the Schwabentopf ($17.95) both for the pleasure of saying its name, and because the Highland Dell is known for its German fare. This savory mound of pork, bacon, mushroom and onions on cheese-spaetzle (German for "little sparrow," and a little like fried macaroni and cheese) puts the comfort in the overused phrase, "comfort food."
That particular dish isn't on the website menu so it was probably a special. Also, they mention Sunday brunch during the summer (after Easter). Anyone tried brunch ... or anything here?
There's only a few German dishes with mainly American food

"Drama" is such a broad term for cinema, so I had to think extra hard about this one. For example, North by Northwest could be technically considered a drama, but it's actually a thriller, so there are many things to choose from. In the end I settled for two of Krzysztof Kieslowksi's films, Trois Coleurs: Bleu and Trois Coleurs: Rouge.
Bleu, anchored by the great Juliette Binoche, represents "liberty," the meaning of the color blue in the French flag. In the movie, Binoche's character is the sole survivor of an accident that killed his husband and child, and she want to liberate herself by withdrawing from the world, but her past just won't leave her alone, as she discovers things from his husband, a famous composer, that she never would have expected. The movie follows her as she goes through all this, even if she doesn't want to.
Rouge, representing "fraternity," is the story of a young model named Valentine, played by the beautiful Irene Jacobs, who runs over a dog. And when she takes it back to its owner, she discovers that the man spies on his neighbors' phone calls. The movie is ultimately about the relationships between between not only Valentine and the old man, but also between the man's neighbors, and is ultimately about the connections between all human beings.
Both of these movie are slow burning looks into the private lives of these people. They are riveting and very relatable. I want to delve deeper into both films but I need to watch these again, but I want to wait until they are released on Blu-ray, but I don't think I'll be able to wait much more. Hurry up Lionsgate!

As most of you know, Chief Money Maker brings in the primary yeast for this family's bread baking needs. Because of this, I've discovered that there is quite a disparity between the way the crumb snatchers perceive his job and mine. There is a slim possibility it is because he doesn't go around telling stories about them, but I'm still not convinced that is the main issue. I believe the crux of the issue is that no one understands the life of a writer (or a wanna-be writer to be more accurate.)
Chief Money Maker has blessed me with the opportunity to stay at home and pursue this life-long dream of mine, and to make sure I bring him lunch every day, pack his suitcase when he goes out of town, call the air conditioner repair man when needed (see previous blog titled Clean House, Dirty Air Conditioner), and refill his coffee as needed. Hmmmm, did I just describe the job of a secretary? If you factor in the make-out sessions he asks for on the rare occasions when we get rid of all the crumb snatchers, then I believe I just did.
Anywho, the life of a writer isn't easy. I've encountered a few issues in my new profession, the first being that I must share an office space with Chief Money Maker now that he works from home as well. I pride myself on being a pretty good cube mate. Chief Money Maker on the other hand has been afforded the opportunity of the solitude of his own private office for many years. The kind of solitude that allows him to crunch on ice at whim, to giggle out loud at the latest People of Wal-Mart joke arriving in his inbox, and to repeatedly click his pen when on important business calls discussing WANS, LANS, and I think I even once heard him discussing hams.
Writers, however, need solitude to reach inside the depths of their creative, or some might say warped, minds and generate the words that will entertain the masses that subscribe to their blog (or the fifteen people currently subscribed). Either way, I need my own space. Unfortunately, with a crumb snatcher housed in every spare inch of our home, it doesn't look like I'll be getting that opportunity anytime soon. Perhaps I need to amp my efforts to encourage The Eldest crumb snatcher and his cousin to move out on their own, vacating the upstairs Man Cave so I can take it over as a writing studio.
Although Chief Money Maker understands and supports my new objective, the crumb snatchers have some trouble understanding the requirements of my current job. This has been the second, and more challenging obstacle to overcome in my new career. When Sweet Pea recently wanted an impromptu trip to the mall, I had to explain that I was working.
"But Mom, you're just sitting on the couch watching "Jerry Springer" and eating those bon bon thingies!"
"No honey," I explained sensitively, "Mommy is getting story ideas. Today's story is about this woman's brother-cousin Bo that just had a sex change and has become a pole dancer at her favorite lesbian biker bar! Fascinating stuff, don't you think?" Sweet Pea just rolled her eyes and walked away.
A few days later, The Eldest crumb snatcher brought home a new friend of the female persuasion and brought her into our home office to introduce her to us. Chief Money Maker was busy working on a 600 page spreadsheet filled with those WAN, LAN, and ham thingies, crunching ice, and clicking his pen repeatedly. The Eldest explained that Chief Money Maker had a very important job that no one could accurately explain and that he had to go on really important business trips where he sent pictures of himself and his "team" sitting in bars nightly discussing "work". The female friend seemed quite impressed.
He then sweetly introduced me. "This is my Mom. She's an aspiring writer who seems to be working on her novel," then glancing at my computer screen, "or updating her Facebook status."
"No honey," I explained sensitively, "Mom is networking on Facebook. It's not the same thing!"
His female friend said, "Way cool! I'll add you as a friend and we can work on each other's farms!" Sigh, no one understands my job.
The final clue that no one understands my writing goals came when Gummi Bear crumb snatcher, the youngest of the crew, asked me one night if I was going to cook dinner.
While lying on the couch, I responded "Ask your Dad if he can get something started. I'm going to be working late tonight."
He responded, "But you're just reading The National Enquirer!"
I finally lost it and called everyone downstairs for a family meeting. "Look you bunch of insensitive, life-draining, money leeching, hoodlums…" Wait, I think it was a little more like this. "I love you all dearly and I need to explain to you that Mama Bread Baker has a very busy job. Writing for Dummies says that I need to network (i.e. post on Facebook), gather story ideas (i.e. watch "Jerrry Springer"), and expand my knowledge of current events (i.e. read The National Enquirer) to become a successful writer. You all want me to be successful, don't you, so we can get that nice built in swimming pool in the back yard, right?"
They all glanced at each other and the bravest (or dumbest) finally spoke up and said, "Oh, we thought that was going to come from a bonus from Chief Money Maker's real job."
And suddenly the light bulb illuminated. The crux of the problem wasn't that they didn't understand what I was doing. It was that they hadn't seen a paycheck coming from my job. Maybe they have a point. I guess I better quit networking, gathering story ideas, and expanding my knowledge of current events and get back to work on my novel. Those crumb snatchers may not be as dumb as they look!

There must be at least a kid in every elementary class who was fascinated with the natural, scientific world who must have thought to himself "I must be a scientist when I grow up". Sure, it is a noble and exciting ambition, but wait until the same kid finds himself being trained to grow old in a laboratory, that's not so exciting at all, is it? But it does not necessarily have to be that way all the time. Some brilliant scientists get to make new discoveries, experience extreme weather conditions, and even get to be a part of a team making history. You need examples, you say? Here are just some that will make you want to say, "I want in!"
Cave Diver
If you love the sea, exploring caves in all corners and discovering the stories behind these, then you can be a cave diver! Caves can be intriguing, which could also offer insight on the ecology of islands, fossils of creatures that once inhabited it, and a record of the planet's ancient climate. Much can be learned about caves and if you are one to venture into sinkholes that form deep, underwater caves, spelunking and much excitement, you are going to have endless hours looking at magnificent rock and ceiling formations that are a product of millions of years.
Saturation Diver
Scuba divers slash scientists now can eliminate the equally dangerous rapid climb from the ocean floor to the surface by having the option to stay in Aquarius, a trailer set up for divers to study the nearby reefs off the Florida coast. It is like living in a bubble of air where a diver can stay for up to two weeks. It is not exactly a cozy place because ear and skin infections can easily be picked up and the body is usually always damp.
Venom Milker
Some people do get fascinated with venom. And they milk it for a living. You can count on scientists who study venoms to take on extreme measures to extract it, even facing the deadliest snakes, sharks and lizards. It is not easy though, a scientist has to find and gather many snakes to get an ample amount of venom but it is the venom milker who has to take the creatures out of their enclosures one by one to press their fangs against a plastic plate while massaging their glands. Most milkers have already been bitten, some reports claim to be two dozen times.
At one point or another, being an astronaut has been glamorized by our obsession about space. In reality though, astronauts are trained to endure the harshest environments, exposing themselves to UV rays, the risk of dying in-flight and even space dementia. Even back on Earth, they face the risk of muscle atrophy and weakened bones due to immersion in a low-gravity environment for long periods. They all do this in the name of space, generally in the name of science.
Lab Technician
Just because a scientist is cooped up in the lab does not mean that he or she is already safe from certain dangers. Due to critical errors, laboratory accidents can occur such as burns, electrocutions and these cases sometimes result in death. Injuries are also caused by highly toxic or flammable substances, powerful magnets and other high impact conditions.
Storm Chaser
Nobody wants to be in the way of a storm approaching, unless you are an official storm chaser, that is. These are brave souls running towards nature's wrath to install wind and pressure sensors as close to the storms as possible. There are possibilities of tornadoes, lightning strikes, and all sorts of natural occurrences that does not distinguish based on age or gender.
Crocodile Psychologist
You wonder if crocs need a psychologist, and these scientists say the job is not for the passive and faint-hearted. These scientists need to journey to croc-infested waters, surround them, rope them and let them struggle to exhaustion before towing them on shore. After the research, the crocodiles are free to go back to their water habitat, but not all crocodiles can be as cooperative because to treat reptiles especially crocodiles as pets is a very tough job. Even crocodiles can decide to turn around and head towards camp. This job requires a lot of bravery and patience too.
Scientists may be eccentrics sometimes, but in exchange of putting their lives in turmoil, they get to see action and adventure too, that's in the name of science.

In Phil 1:9, Paul wrote to the church and said "And it is my prayer that your LOVE may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment". And he goes on in verse 10 and writes "so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be PURE and BLAMELESS for the Day of Christ, filled with the FRUIT of RIGHTEOUSNESS that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God."
When Paul wrote this letter he was shackled in a prison in Rome. He had been locked up for 2 years for the gospel of Christ and many of his co-ministers of the gospel turned against him. They were jealous of Paul and refused to accept his pastoral care. They gossiped about him and ignored him. Yet through all of this Paul maintained a joyful and forgiving spirit.
During this time some of the so called men of God were preaching contention and division……but Paul had enough wisdom and discernment to know the truth and was not afraid to verbalize the truth.
We are living within the last days where 1 Timothy 3 is definitely in full manifestation. As a leader I have to pray daily to keep God's love at the forefront of my heart in every situation. Some of the people I have labored with and taught the Word of God are living as if God's word is null and void. We are definitely starting to see the falling away and people having itching ears. But we must know that it is written and it has to come to pass and we cannot take it personally.
Men and Women of God —– pray for one another just as Paul prayed for his church leaders and members. People we love will look us in the eyes and lie; will not fear God at all and other Christians will even urge them on, causing them to go deeper in sin; knowing they need truth. It hurts because we are human and the leaders I know in Body of Christ love deep and for real. They are truly living sacrifices willing to serve God's people faithfully.
Be encouraged!
