I decided several days ago that I wanted to share my words further afield. I know that poetry is a strangely intimate sharing and some people do not really approve. The disapproval extends beyond the self publication most poets have to indulge - unless they are famous for something else already, or truly capture the heart strings of a particular time to find themselves trending, willingly or unwillingly - in a world full of casual followers.
My poetry has always striven to be positive, even in dealing with the most negative of issues, and for some that approach is too rose tinted, but for me it is about a spiritual mastery of one's current life situation. Indulging negative experience with negative expression might trend more in the modern world, but the process of catharsis, however well received, might result in regression rather than moving forward. I hope to move forward always - I did with A Whisper of the Romantic in the Eye of God and I hope my new work following my Father's sad death this year will continue this personal growth and learning. Once published of course I will share... Kindle is likely to be the medium though.
I have been sharing a poem a day on Twitter, and I think I should share them here too for those who find Twitter too ephemeral. Today's reflection was Sea of Memory.... This is a romantic poem and what is wrong with that?
Sea of Memory….
Waves tremble,
On the dark granite Ocean
That is my mind.
A fond tide stirs them,
This, my love for you,
Will never end…
Hold me
Just an instant in your thoughts,
That I might feel once more
The tender hand of memory
On this -
Faint Heart of Darkness …
Think of me awhile with love,
So that your voice
May fill my soul with light -
And laughter -
As I strive to catch the Dream
That I would share
With One -
A vital part of me -
Who drives the steady
Force of Love
Through time, space
And Eternity
Until it finds its Peace
With You….

Once in a while songwriters miss their calling and try to be singers as well as writers. Not so with Jerry Salley. With his new Bluegrass Gospel album Gospel From My Grassroots, Jerry proves to be not only the ultimate songwriter, but also a prolific singer.
With all of the love and expression any singer could produce, Jerry treats these tunes with masterful performance.
Jerry has had some major hits with his songwriting in Country, Bluegrass, Southern Gospel, as well as Contemporary Christian genres. Turning to his roots this new CD features his Country/Bluegrass talents.
Referred to by Billboard Magazine as "One of Music Row's greatest veteran tunesmiths," Jerry Salley has had an incredibly successful songwriting career in Country, Bluegrass, and Gospel music. Showing his bluegrass roots, and with his five-year-old granddaughter gracing the cover, Gospel From My Grassroots is Jerry's first all Bluegrass Gospel album. It shines with 13 original, heartfelt tunes that range from the energetic, up-tempo song "How High Is That Mountain," to the brand new finger-snapping a cappella song, "Just Drink The Water."
Jerry breathes new life into these self-penned songs, most of which have been previously recorded by Bluegrass and Gospel greats. Guest vocalist Steven Curtis Chapman sings with Jerry on an acoustic, stripped-down translation of their co-written Gospel classic, "His Strength Is Perfect" and IBMA Female Vocalist Of The Year, Dale Ann Bradley, lends her warm angelic voice to "Send The Angels Down," a song that she previously recorded. The project also includes Jerry's original versions of "It's Not What You Know" and "You Don't Have To Go Home," which have been recorded multiple times in the Bluegrass and Gospel worlds, and "I Want To Thank You," a #1 song for Karen Peck and New River .
The fifth song on the album, "Cross On The Right" features Jerry with friends Larry Cordle, Carl Jackson, and Bradley Walker and is the initial focus track for radio from the album, although Jerry invites you to play any and ALL of your favorite tunes!
If you would like to interview Jerry Salley contact AG Publicity at email@example.com .

To book Jerry at your church, event, or concert contact him at email@example.com or call 931- 450-4220.
About Jerry Salley
Referred to by Billboard Magazine as "One of Music Row's greatest veteran tunesmiths", Jerry Salley, the 2003 "SESAC Country Music Songwriter of the Year", has had over 400 songs recorded in his multi-award winning career.
Born in the small southern Ohio town of Chillicothe, he signed with Performing Rights Organization SESAC at eighteen years old. Writing and singing in Nashville since 1982, he has written multiple hits in Country, Bluegrass and Gospel Music and may well be the most successful songwriter to have earned equal recognition from all three genres of music - not to mention his recent activity of songs/awards recorded by some of the best/current artists in the "Americana" music genre.
His country hits include the Reba McEntire smash "I'm Gonna Take That Mountain", "Breakin' New Ground" (Wild Rose/Universal Records), "I Fell In The Water" (John Anderson/BNA Records), "How Do You Sleep At Night" (Wade Hayes/DCK/Columbia Records), and four other Billboard chart records. His has written Three #1 Gospel hits, several #2 Gospel hits and over a dozen other top ten/top twenty Gospel songs. In addition to songs recorded by the previously mentioned artists, he has had songs recorded by Patty Loveless, Joe Nichols, Darryl Worley, Travis Tritt, Tracy Lawrence, Neal McCoy, Mark Chesnutt, Cece Winans, The Whites, and many others. He is a nine-time Dove Award nominee, having won a prestigious Dove for the 1990 Inspirational Song of the Year "His Strength Is Perfect", recorded by and co-written with Steven Curtis Chapman.
Internationally he has penned no less than seven #1 Country hits in Australia just since 2001. To date Jerry's songs have sold in excess of fourteen million records worldwide.
As an artist, Jerry has performed on numerous stage shows, including the honor of performing as a soloist many times on the world famous GRAND OLE OPRY. His television appearances include LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, REGIS AND KATHY LEE, NBC'S TODAY SHOW and several different TNN (THE NASHVILLE NETWORK) shows.

It is also pretty typical for a woman in my situation to stay home and watch a movie on Friday night, which is exactly what I did this past Friday. I happened to pick a movie called "Thanks for Sharing." It is an independent film about people struggling with sex addiction. When I picked that movie, I wasn't even thinking about Brahmacharya. I only picked it because Mark Ruffalo is in it, and he is one of my favorite actors.
But watching it did give me some insight into addictive personalities. It made me realize how fortunate I am to be able to casually joke about not having sex for a week or even a few months because I am not dating anyone. For the people in that movie, it would be hard to go for 24 hours without sex.
The movie did a an excellent job of showing how an addiction can completely overtake your life. There were a few different characters, each in their own stage of recovery. One of the characters was very early in the recovery process. For him, it was a challenge to just go outside of his house. There was a really powerful scene where he was walking the streets of New York. It showed how our society uses sex to sell almost everything. He was afraid to go on the subway because of all the advertisements and the close proximity to people, so he started riding a bike everywhere.
Mark Ruffalo's character had been in recovery for five years. In order to stay in recovery, he chose to remove any potential temptations from his life. He didn't own a laptop or a television. When he traveled for work, he would ask them to remove the TV from his room. And he had not been on a date in five years. During the movie he ends up meeting a woman and he attempts to have a 'normal' relationship. If you want to know how it turns out, you will have to watch the movie.
For me, the movie helped to reinforce some of the philosophies of yoga and the discipline it requires. These practices are about self observation, which on the surface may seem like a simple concept. Yet there are a lot of people who, for whatever reason, are not in a position to practice self observation let alone contemplate making a change.
It takes a lot of courage to recognize that you want to make a change and even more courage to take action to do so. I have some things in my life that I am trying to change. And during that process it can be easy to fall into more comfortable and familiar habits. Through observing myself without judgement, I can find my way back to the path that I would like to follow.
Last weekend in class, we did not have time to talk about our practice of Asteya (non-stealing) and the teacher forgot to officially assign us to practice Brahmacharya for this past week. Some of us decided to go ahead and practice it anyway, but a lot of the other girls in my class skipped it.
Since there was a misinterpretation of our assignment last week, we get to practice Brahmacharya again this week. This time our instructor suggested that we read more about it and find some broader interpretations that might apply to our everyday life.
I found a nice article on Brahmacharya that focused on energy. In yoga, we often refer to our Prana which means energy or life force. This article suggested a broader interpretation of Brahmacharya, which is to conserve our energy and avoid wasting it where it is not needed. By doing so, it will give us more energy to direct to our higher purpose, whatever that may be.
This week I will be looking for areas in my life where my energy is depleted and trying to find ways to harness my energy to move my life forward.
I invite you to join me and find one thing this week that saps your valuable energy. Then do something to change it. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section and I will be back next week for Brahmacharya - The Sequel.

Although other men will come into her life and someday she'll meet her husband, your daughter will always need you.
She will always turn to you for advice and approval. Be there for her, her whole life long.
Here are 7 reasons your daughter will always need you:
- A daughter needs a dad to be the standard by which she will judge all men. In society, there are unspoken rules when it comes to men. In order to capture a girl's heart, a man must go through her father and gain his approval first.
- A daughter needs a dad to protect her. At some point during your daughter's journey to love, her heart will get broken. However, a true "Daddy's Girl" knows that her father will always be there to protect her (as best he can) from the pain and heartache that love can sometimes bring – she can always call on her number one guy to make her feel safe and loved.
- A daughter needs a dad to influence her (even if he's not around). Even if a girl doesn't have the best relationship with her dad, it's important that she knows that no matter where she goes in life, he will always be with her. For some men, becoming a father is easy, and for some it is not. Both dads and daughters need to treat each other with a little grace and lots of love, and work toward a healthier relationship together.
- A daughter needs a dad to show her how to live. It is a dad's responsibility to teach a daughter how she should live. Good dads teach by giving lectures or telling stories of their own lives. But great dads demonstrate the best way to live through their actions.
- A daughter needs a dad to believe in her. If a girl is lucky, both of her parents are her biggest supporters, but a dad supports his daughter like no one else. He is patient, loving, and always there to cheer her on to victory. If a girl has a dad who believes in her and tells her that she can do anything, she is not only lucky, she is blessed!
- A daughter needs a dad to fight for her. Long before a girl finds her Prince Charming, her dad is the one who stands up for her and supports her no matter what—even if she's wrong. And she always relies on her dad to get her out of trouble.
- A daughter needs a dad to sacrifice for her. Traditionally, a man's role is to provide for his family, and the man is the head of the household. This may sound old-fashioned, but many girls have fathers who have sacrificed many things for them and for their families, and this has only enhanced the relationships. Every girl wants to be "Daddy's Little Girl!"
"A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again." – Enid Bagnold

Care home residents rescued after fire
Elderly residents have been rescued from a care home after a large fire tore through the property.
Emergency services evacuated at least 25 residents from Standon House Care Home in Ashby Road, Tamworth after the blaze was reported at around 11pm on Saturday.
West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) said a total of seven residents were taken to hospital, two in a "serious condition".
A WMAS spokesman said: "The property has suffered very considerable damage, but fortunately, firefighters and staff were able to bring all of the residents out of the building.
"After assessment at the scene by ambulance staff and the doctors, six patients were taken to Good Hope Hospital with a further patient taken to Queen's Hospital in Burton.
"Two of the patients taken to Good Hope were in a serious condition."
The spokesman said a total of 16 other residents were rehoused within adjacent flats, with a further two people taken by ambulance to other care homes.
A Staffordshire Police spokesman said the seven residents were taken to the two hospitals to be "assessed after smoke inhalation".
Inspector Beverley Rounds, of Staffordshire Police, said: "We are now awaiting further updates on the condition of the residents attending hospital.
"We've had a number of calls from people living nearby and we want to thank them for their vigilance and reassure them the residents have been evacuated.
"Investigators will now be working to establish the cause of the fire."
The force said Ashby Road was closed near to Landau Forte School while the incident was dealt with, but reopened at 4.30am, and that fire crews are still at the scene.
Staffordshire Police confirmed all residents were safely evacuated and have been moved to alternative accommodation.
A spokeswoman for Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service said one fire crew remains at the scene and that a total of five appliances were sent to the scene at the height of the blaze.

There is something special about Christmas time in America. The sudden change to cooler weather, front yards being decorated with huge reindeer, santas and a million lights, and the endless social gatherings and events to get everyone into the spirit of Christmas.
It kicks off with the US's favorite holiday and food-fest that is Thanksgiving during the last weekend in November and goes full boar for 4 weeks until Christmas Day. In fact sometimes Christmas can feel like an anti-climax with all the activities and celebrations in the leading weeks – Americans certainly have this time of year down pat. Whilst it can certainly be overwhelming, I love the eagerness and opulence in celebrating this time of year here and found the best way to enjoy it was to take in as many traditional festive activities as possible.
One of my favorite Christmas events last year was Houston Ballet's version of 'The Nutcracker'. I had only been to the ballet once, a long time ago and wasn't sure what to expect. I had heard great reviews about the Houston Ballet and knew a few Australians were involved so was keen to check out what went on in the Theatre District, Downtown.
Set in nineteenth century Germany, The Nutcracker opens at a charming family Christmas party at which the mysterious Dr. Drosselmeyer gives his little niece Clara a magical toy(Nutcracker) that takes her on an unforgettable journey. Large dancing rats, soldiers, angels, the Nutcracker prince and the famous Sugar Plum Fairy guide Clara through many magical worlds. My favorite scenes are the amazing dancing by the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Spanish, Arabian and Chinese entertainers in Act II.
The sets and costumes are breathtakingly beautiful and take you right into this enchanted story. You will know most of the famous music by Tchaikovsky and the dancing is first class. You will leave understanding why Houston Ballet is considered one of the best in the country.
The Houston Ballet is America's fourth largest ballet company. There is a strong Australian connection with the Artistic Director, Stanton Welch from Melbourne. Stanton has been with the Houston Ballet since 2003 and continues to work with the Australian Ballet and many other international ballet companies as one of the most highly acclaimed choreographers in the business. The Ballet Master is Steven Woodgate from Melbourne and aussie dancers include Danielle Rowe (Shepparton), Luke Ingham (Mt. Gambier) and Samantha Lynch (Melbourne). There are also many English, European and Asian staff and dancers to compliment the local US talent.
One of the nicest things about this ballet is that it is great to take the kids to. They will be entranced by the sets and costumes and there are many children performers on stage. It is recommended for children 2 years and over but more to the point is that kids need to be able to sit 'quietly & happily' for the 2 hr production, otherwise you may be ushered out to the foyer until the next intermission.
It pays to get to the theatre early as parking can be busy and you want to take in all the build up to showtime in the foyer. A good range of food and drinks are on offer and as you can't take anything into the show, make sure you've had something, otherwise you will have to wait until the halftime intermission. The intermission goes for about 20 mins and to save time you can pre-order food and drink to be ready for you from one of the outlets.

Our annual Carols by Twilight on Friday 4 December 2015 was a fun night for all!
It was wonderful to see so many families at our Carols by Twilight event on Friday evening- all enjoying each other's company and sharing the festive atmosphere on our main lawn. Thank you so much for coming!
Special thanks to parent Suli Niulala and Murray House educator Karen Dashwood for their fantastic singing and guitar/ukulele playing (pictured above), as well as to volunteers from Herbalife for helping to set up and decorate, handing out programs and once again leading our sausage sizzle to help keep everyone fed and happy!
Of course, we must also thank our very special guest Santa for taking time out of his busy schedule to pop in and say Hi! Luckily his elves stayed on to make our children balloon toys and work their Christmas magic!

This is continuation of the photo report from Transbaikalia about life in small villages on a lake Baikal shore. This time we are going to see some photos of strange desolate villages located near the lake. Some of them seem really deserted; a lot of abandoned buildings and houses, no roads, no even cattle. Only God knows what people are busy with and what they do for the life there..
A sports school in a village of Barguzin
This rather nice house is for sale
In fact, there are lots of houses and lands for sale there. Advertisements are everywhere
One of those ads is right next to a local cemetery
Another kind of advertisement; basically, building materials and stuff
People there are pretty quiet and leisurely
Sometimes you can find a few cows there
On the whole, one can say it is a god-forsaken place; but still, people somehow live there

LOSING his mum, sister and dad to cancer over the course of 15 years has meant one Ramsbottom man has spent more time than he would ever have imagined at The Christie.
Despite the tragedy he has lived through in the walls of the Manchester hospital, Paul Walsh, aged 42, feels indebted to The Christie and its staff.
Mr Walsh, said: "My parents and baby sister were taken at a very early age by cancer and The Christie gave us a place to be.
"The communal garden used to be somewhere I could go and sit with my mum, sitting and taking the time there gives people comfort in what is the most horrific of times.
"The staff there at The Christie understand what people need."
Mr Walsh's mum Sandra, was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma around 19 years ago, succumbing to the disease 19 months later.
In 2005, his sister Nicola, then just 26, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Following a mastectomy she was diagnosed with another form of cancer which spread quickly to her brain. She died in 2007 having completed an incredible bucket list including marrying her boyfriend in South Africa and cage diving with great white sharks.
His dad and best friend, Patrick, was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2013, he died holding Mr Walsh's hand in 2014.
All three were treated at The Christie, as was Mr Walsh's aunt, Sheila Bottomley, who recently beat the disease.
Mr Walsh said: "When my dad went most recently, at his funeral we asked for donations to The Christie, but I still felt I wanted to give them more."
With two friends and his brother in law, Mr Walsh is embarking on the National Three Peaks Challenge.
The group have set a target of raising £1,000 for The Christie, but would really love to 'blow it out of the water' said Mr Walsh, especially after last week's fire.
Mr Walsh said: "We are training three times a week, going up and down Holcombe Hill, mountain biking and going to the gym.
"We really don't want to fail.
"I'm frightened to death to be honest but we couldn't raise money by sitting in and knitting."
The Just Giving page for the challenge has already received £500 in donations, to make a contribution yourself visit justgiving.com/fundraising/Alpha3peaks.
Mr Walsh added: "My sons, Sam (aged 11) and Finlay (aged 8), keep telling me how proud they are and my youngest wants to come along.
"My wife Keely, thinks we are doing it at the wrong time of year and worries I'm going to get hurt.
"She's worried about everything but she understands why I'm doing it, I couldn't have gone through what I have without her and my children."

|What do we Know?
|What do we want to know?
|What have we learned?
|In developed nations, the old will substantially outnumber the young. In underdeveloped nations, the young will substantially outnumber the old.
Educators will need to be prepared for this demographic shift and its impact on society and eduation.
|What is the socio-economic and educational impact of this trend? What are the implications of this change within our community? Does it threaten our country's security? How can we utilize this growing poulation of elderly citizens to tap into their wealth of knowldege and experiences so that they continue to be contributing members of society.
|People are living longer and we need to plan for how this will impact education and society. The mortality rates in developed countries have decreased, while the birth rates have increased. Learning teams (cross-generational learning teams that consist of retired university professors, professionals (like engineers, scientist, mechanics etc.), graduate students and the classroom teacher) are becoming more common in schools. All these individuals, the retired, the up and coming college students and the classroom teacher will work together with a student or group of students to solve a problem. Project based and real world application of new learning will continue to be effective teaching strategies.

To quote those oft-repeated opening lines of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina: "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." And so it was with my family, sparse as it was without siblings. Happy or not, the impulse to record is as immutable as the will to remember. So, these 15 images exist as an alternative family archive. They present, or rather re-present, my dead mother and dead father in a fusion of time, place, and memory.
To use Charlotte Delbo's words, I am unsure if these images are true. But I am sure that they are truthful.
I sometimes say that I started at the end. That's because the first image—completed in 2011— show my mother, Frances, in death. The image 97532, no. 1—the title comes from the number of her death certificate—is based on a photo I took two hours after she died. For the the eight
pictures that follow I lurched into the past, constructing them from old photographs I found after her death, small pictures stuffed into shoeboxes and tattered albums. Those photos show Frances as a young woman, years before I was born. I used them as the foundations into which I would interweave the elements that defined her life as I knew it, elements I drew out of the history we shared, and the life, and death, she transmitted to me. These include references to the Holocaust, which imprinted on her life as it would on mine, a dark generational legacy. There are markers of the acute progressive dementia she endured for over fifteen years, her life's lengthy final chapter. There are also literary references ("you must console me," a line from Alexander Döblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz that, when I read it for the first time, sounded as if they had been crafted from my mother's desperate lips), text from her death certificate, and words put together from my own shambolic thoughts about her stormy life that included a sharp mind infected by mental illness and addiction.
The six images that follow are based on my father, Joseph. I also used old photographs for these works, photos that show him at ages ranging from three years old, posing next to a teddy bear in a 1920s photography studio, to age 88, less than an hour after his death. The texts that appears in each image except the last are from his final words. Dying and unable to speak, he scribbled them in shaky hand on a pad of paper. They are physical remnants of the banal, the metaphysical, and the arcane:
It's all over
I wanted to see who can be trusted? Did I fall?
I am not ready to go
What did he mean exactly? Some of the meanings seem reasonably straightforward coming from a man who sequestered himself from intimacy, a man who knew he was dying but wouldn't accept it. Others — Did I fall? — might have been literal, or, less characteristically (impending death has a way of dredging the uncharacteristic), a pondering on the arc of his soon-to-end life and, perhaps, a call for reassurance. A haze of drugs and illness prevented any conversation that could clarify. And those words I wanted to see. Of course — but see what?
A difficult person to know, my father. (Yes, I know: so is everyone. But not equally so.) He remained opaque to me right up to the end where, in that final image — Joseph (2004/09/26/00/15) — he seems to be brutally discharging the last bit of life inside him.
When I laid out the photographs of Joseph at the ages of three years old, twelve, nineteen, 30, 43, and finally, in death, against those few pages of notes with his last days' scrawl, I thought: what a long road we travel to the only part of the human story that never changes — the very end.
Of course, one can hazard only a tremulous guess at knowing anyone, including one's parents. Especially one's parents. Which leads me, and leaves me, here. Constructing these images forced me to a clarity, almost visceral, a clarity I resisted. They forced me to see that only at the price of self-deception and betrayal could I separate these pictures I made from who I am, who've I've become, and who I've been. The cliché returned home, and, appropriately enough, with a vengeance,: these portraits are self-portraits. Individually and in concert, they are pictures of my parents, pictures of me, pictures of us together, entwined in that sad and harrowing way we lived, and died. If they look hallucinatory, then they exist for me as the hallucinations Céline spoke of: hallucinations more real than everyday life, both curling and dissipating through mind and memory like smoke.

The UK ME/CFS Biobank was launched in 2011, and it is led and managed by the CURE-ME research team at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
The physical Biobank is located at the Royal Free Hospital – where it forms part of the University College London Biobank.
From the very beginning, the ME Association Ramsay Research Fund has provided significant finance for this charity-backed project, and because we see real value in this initiative, we will continue to support it as a major investor.
This is the only such project in the UK aimed at the study of ME/CFS and the supply of samples to outside researchers. It has successfully obtained around 30,000 aliquot samples from people with very carefully defined ME/CFS (Canadian Consensus and CDC 1994 (Fukuda) criteria)); including those with the severe form of the illness who have been visited at home.
It has also collected samples from healthy controls and from people with multiple sclerosis (which act as an additional control group if researchers want to compare results with another neurological disease that can include chronic fatigue and other ME/CFS-like symptoms).
Latest Biobank News
March 2018
Press Release: People with M.E. 'measurably more disabled' than people with Multiple Sclerosis
A new study from the Biobank team looked at the functional status of people M.E. compared to those with MS and with people who were healthy.
The ME Association issued a press release which included comment from Dr Charles Shepherd, and Caroline Kingdon the lead author, who said:
"It is impossible to visit people severely affected by ME/CFS in their homes or to meet those more moderately affected, as I have had the privilege of doing, without recognising the injustice inherent in a system that often fails to recognise the existence of the disease or the disability it causes.
"I hope that this paper will help to validate the experiences of people with ME/CFS. Few other diseases are so stigmatised."
The paper, 'Functional Status and Well-Being in People with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis', was published in Pharmacoeconomics – Open.

UK ME/CFS Biobank team receives largest event grant to continue biomedical research project!
ME Association trustees and staff were over the moon when we heard that the CureME team at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine had received a new grant of $2.1 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in America.
The funding represents the biggest ever single investment in biomedical research to happen in the UK and it will enable a current project, that is searching for disease biomarkers, to be extended for another 4 years – until 2021.
August 2017
UK ME/CFS Biobank second-largest in UCL Biobank collections
"We would like to thank the more than 600 people who have provided the 26,341 samples currently in storage at the UCL Biobank. In effect, each participant donated an average of 40 aliquots of blood (an aliquot is a small sample adequate for research purposes). Not only do we store samples and accompanying data from people with severe and mild/moderate ME/CFS, but our collection has also been greatly enriched by the participation of healthy controls and people with Multiple Sclerosis."
February 2017
New research from Biobank team in The Open Journal of Bioresources (open access):
Lacerda et al. The UK ME/CFS Biobank for biomedical research on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Multiple Sclerosis
The UK ME/CFS Biobank was launched in August 2011 following extensive consultation with professionals and patient representatives.
The bioresource aims to enhance research on myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), related to pathophysiology, biomarkers and therapeutic approaches.
The cohort includes 18–60 year olds, encompassing 284 clinically-confirmed ME/CFS cases, 60 neurologist-diagnosed multiple sclerosis (MS) cases, and 135 healthy individuals.
The Biobank contains blood samples, aliquoted into serum, plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), red blood cells/granulocyte pellet, whole blood, and RNA (totalling 29,863 aliquots).
Extensive dataset (700 clinical and socio-demographic variables/participant) enables comprehensive phenotyping. Potential reuse is conditional to ethical approval.
What are the benefits of a M.E. Biobank in the UK?
One of the most difficult, most time-consuming and perhaps most important parts of any ME/CFS research study is getting a robustly-diagnosed representative sample of patients, together with appropriate controls, and making sure the sample is big enough for meaningful results.
The UK ME/CFS Biobank gives researchers an off-the-shelf solution because the hard work of diagnosing patients and collecting samples has already been done. That's a major head start for any study, and will help to attract talented researchers from other fields as well as leading to better overall research.
But the Biobank provides much more than blood. Each sample comes with a great amount of relevant clinical and biological data: symptom questionnaires (SF36 for functioning, sleep, pain, and fatigue), clinical data such as weight and blood pressure, and a series of laboratory blood tests. This will again save time and money, but also allows researchers to investigate the relationship between particular findings e.g. cytokines and specific symptoms, or other clinical features.
The UK ME/CFS Biobank team will continue work to increase the number of blood donations and should shortly reach its goal of 510 participants, comprising 290 people with ME/CFS (including 50 severely affected – bed and/or home-bound), 75 people with Multiple Sclerosis and 145 healthy controls.
The team will actively promote the supply of samples to scientists who can demonstrate that they require them for useful and ethically approved ME/CFS research projects.
How is the Biobank financed?
ME Association investment from the Ramsay Research Fund for this project has been approximately £40,000 per year for the last two years, and this represents the largest continuing commitment to a project the Ramsay Research Fund has taken on to date.
Additional funding during the establishment period was kindly provided by Action for M.E., ME Research UK and a private donor, who is a member of The ME Association.
This project is an investment in all our futures and with the ME/CFS Biobank you are funding not just one project, but considerable future research as well.

How you can help
Please help us to build on our success and continue to expand our vital work. One day we will find the cause of ME/CFS and have an effective form of treatment. And with your help, that day could come much sooner.

Additional investment in the Biobank
In 2015, Dr Charles Shepherd (Medical Advisor to the ME Association), became chair of the biobank steering group, underscoring ME Association commitment to what we believe is vital ME/CFS infrastructure.
In 2014, The ME Association Big Give Christmas Appeal raised £40,000 from public donations to help secure the future of the Biobank.
In 2013, the UK ME/CFS Biobank was awarded a research grant of over £1million from the National Institutes of Health in America. This three-year longitudinal study has enabled important research on the immunology and genetics of ME/CFS. 2017 Update: The research is nearing completion and the results may lead to the discovery of much needed disease biomarkers.

Bank Executives to Tell Congress: 'We're Lending'
NEW YORK -- "We're lending," chief executives of major banks plan to tell Congress Wednesday, according to prepared remarks.
In testimony prepared for the House Committee on Financial Services, bank chieftains including J.P. Morgan Chase JPM -0.83% & Co.'s Jamie Dimon, Bank of America Corp.'s BAC -1.40% Kenneth Lewis and Citigroup Inc.'s C -1.94% Vikram Pandit vigorously assert that they are lending despite economic headwinds, and are lending more because of the government capital they had received.
Their testimony will come at a time when anger at Wall Street has soared over its role in triggering the recession, at its receipt of financial bailout money, and at what politicians and the public perceive to be a cavalier attitude toward perks and pay despite losses and public funding. Anger has also been fanned over assertions that the banks have cut back on lending despite receiving money under the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. The bankers acknowledge the public anger in their remarks, and seek to portray their banks as using TARP investments to blunt the recession's effects on Main Street.
Bank of America's Mr. Lewis says in prepared remarks that taxpayers deserve to know "what return they are making on their investment, and when it will be paid back," and that Bank of America intends "to pay all the TARP funds back as soon as possible."
Mr. Lewis also confronts the public's growing fury over bankers' huge salaries and bonuses, as well as banks holding lavish events for employees and customers. Mr. Lewis' own bank came under fire during the National Football League's Super Bowl, where Bank of America held an elaborate event to attract customers.
Mr. Lewis acknowledges the public's frustration, and says some of the criticism was warranted, but not all.
Compensation is intended "to grow our business, enhance profitability and generate returns for investors," Mr. Lewis says in his remarks, including "the investors that are the focus of this hearing: U.S. taxpayers."
Citigroup's Mr. Pandit, in prepared remarks, details Citi's use of the $45 billion the government has given the bank. "In late December, utilizing TARP capital, we authorized our line businesses to provide $36.5 billion in new lending initiatives and other new programs." He said the programs "are expanding mortgages, personal loans and lines of credit for individuals, families and businesses and creating liquidity in the secondary markets." Citi said, and Mr. Pandit will reiterate, that it helped to prevent 440,000 foreclosures of homeowners last year.
He plans to tell the House panel that he "removed the people responsible for Citi's financial distress" as he made changes at the company. He says Citi originated $75 billion of consumer and business loans in the fourth quarter, "a significant commitment given the difficult economic environment."
J.P. Morgan's Mr. Dimon, in his prepared remarks, calls for the creation of a new bank regulatory system, including "the creation of a systemic risk regulator," and unified standards for mortgage modification programs.
But Mr. Dimon also hammers home a theme he has repeatedly touched in recent months: the dramatic retreat of money market and hedge funds that crippled the commercial paper market -- a lending pullback that has nothing to do with banks.
Like Citi's Mr. Pandit, Mr. Dimon points to his company's $150 million in new loans to consumers, businesses, and other banks in the fourth quarter as "especially significant in light of the continued deterioration of the economy...and a steep decline in demand for credit." Mr. Dimon reiterates that the bank prevented 330,000 home foreclosures last year.
But he also warns, "We should not forget that eroding credit standards by many market participants played a large role in creating the current economic malaise."
In the prepared remarks, Mr. Dimon reminds Congress that J.P. Morgan sought "to help stabilize our financial system" with its purchases of Bear Stearns Cos. Inc. and Washington Mutual Inc.
Mr. Dimon himself did forgo his cash and equity bonus, but says in his remarks that "our employees worked harder than ever and performed admirably for the company and for clients under enormously challenging conditions in 2008. I believe the compensation we paid them was appropriate."
For America's two biggest investment banks, Goldman Sachs GS -0.14% and Morgan Stanley , MS -0.86% their CEOs will also outline to the panel how they used TARP money.
Goldman Sachs' Lloyd Blankfein says in his remarks that his firm established a $10.5 billion senior loan fund that makes loans to companies in need of capital. It also used the extra capital to help Sallie Mae late last year provide more than $1.5 billion of student loans.
Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley's John Mack will note the company helped clients raise $56 billion in debt to invest in their businesses. The firm also doled out $650 million in new consumer loan commitments extended in the last three months of 2008.
The CEOs, who in 2006 were among the highest paid executives in the country, also plan to use their testimony to defend accusations of excess on Wall Street.
"I believe that both our firm and our industry have far to go to regain the trust of taxpayers, investors and public officials," Mr. Mack said. "As a recipient of an investment from the U.S. government, we recognize our serious responsibilities to the American people."
Both Messrs. Mack and Blankfein note that they elected not to receive a bonus in 2008. Both say that they are realigning compensation practices more toward multiyear performance, while Mr. Blankfein says top management should be forced to retain most of the equity they receive "until at least they retire."
Ronald Logue, the chief executive of State Street Corp. STT -1.14% , which in October received $2 billion in government investment capital, will tell the panel that State Street has set a goal of increasing the credit available to its core clients by $2 billion. So far, he says in prepared remarks, State Street has approved more than $1.5 billion and expects that level to reach $2 billion soon.
Bank of New York Mellon Corp. BK -0.02% CEO Robert Kelly says his company is more like a "bank for banks" that helps financial institutions conduct business. He says the company used the $3 billion in TARP money to purchase $1.7 billion of mortgage-backed securities and $900 million of other debt securities to help add liquidity into the markets. In addition, about $400 million was used for interbank lending with healthy financial companies.

This style became very popular by 1928
These two styles combined, to create a new genre, Leo Kiekie Baka Tribes in Central Africa Japan Conclusion
Yodeling is now common throughout the world, but in different styles,
that reflects the area's feature that can be cultural, geological, economical, social etc. and I think that looking at these differences is just as interesting to listen to its unique musical characteristics. I hope that everyone had a better understanding about yodeling, and it will be great if some people actually thought that this was interesting. THANK YOU

JAKARTA, June 4 (UPI) -- A 6.1-magnitude earthquake shook Indonesia Monday evening, officials said.
The quake's epicenter was 75 miles southwest of Sukabumi and had a depth of nearly 15 miles, The Jakarta Globe reported.
Tall buildings in Jakarta swayed during the quake, sending workers out of the high raises.
"I was inside the building when the first quake felt," said Okta Wiguna, who works in Mampang Prapatan, South Jakarta. "The building shook, and many of the workers fled as the earthquake lasted several seconds and got stronger."
The quake, which struck at 6:18 p.m., was felt in Bandung, Tasikmalaya, Bogor and southern Jakarta, Bernama reported.

I was asked by a friend to come up with a recipe for a 'Til Death Cake. Here is my take on it!
This recipe has been carefully refined over the last fifty years. It is to the point where, when consumed by the proper person, will engender an understanding of Me.
Ingredients for cake:
3 Cups of Unconditional Love
1 Cup of Betrayal
1 Cup of Confusion
1 Cup of Anger and Frustration
1 Cup of Pure Sweetness
1/2 Cup of Oil of Tenderness
1/2 Cup of Understanding
1/4 Cup of Requited Love
2 Eggs Worth of Compassion
1 Tablespoon of Bittersweet Memories
Ingredients for frosting/filling:
2 Cups Pure Light
1/2 Cup of Pure Sweetness
1/2 Cup of Dark Dreams and Fantasies
1 Ounce of Angels Tears (for that ineffable feeling)
Combine all dry ingredients in My soul. Thoroughly mix with leather belts and humiliation, for twelve years. Then add the Oil of Tenderness, Understanding, Compassion and Unrequited Love for a total of fifty year. Sprinkle in the Bittersweet Memories over time.
Thoroughly beat mix until creamy and consistently off-kilter. Pour into two undetermined sized backing pans, coated in Damned Bad Timing.
Preheat Oven of Life to New Discovery setting. Place pans in oven for one year and hope for the best.
In the meantime, combine all ingredients for frosting in a large bowl and hand-mix with the wooden spoon I used to get beaten with.
When the cake is done (stick a fork in it and see if it is still sticky), remove and let cool for a couple of months.
Upon cooling, fill and frost the cake. Garnish with Trust, Hope and Promises.
Offer it to the right One and say a prayer…

The kidnapped British journalist in Basra and his Iraqi interpreter are to be freed later today, according to Associated Press.
Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's office in Basra said today that a deal had been reached to free the two CBS journalists, who are reported to have been seized from a hotel in Basra on Sunday.
Harith al-Edhari, a director of al-Sadr's office, said negotiations had persuaded the captors to free the two. He told AP: 'We reached an agreement with kidnappers to hand over the Iraqi interpreter to the police command in Basra and the British journalist will be handed over to al-Sadr's office in Basra this afternoon."
CBS News confirmed on Monday that two employees were missing, but did not name them.
According to Reporters Without Borders, at least 15 journalists – all Iraqi – are currently being held hostage in Iraq, and last year, 25 journalists and media assistants were kidnapped in Iraq. It also claims that a total of 208 have been killed in connection with their work in journalism since 2003 – the start of the US-led invasion.
The press freedom organisation said: 'The handover of authority in Basra to the Iraqi government in mid-December has not improved security in the city. The Iraqi authorities must assume their responsibilities and take measures to reinforce the safety of the inhabitants. Yet again it is journalists who are paying dearly for the chronic insecurity in one of the country's biggest cities."

Closeout Item
This product is a closeout item and can not be returned or exchanged.
Take the Storm Torrent to the lanes and wash out the competition. This bowling ball features the Booster HV (high volume) core which is a larger weight block that provides extra hitting power. The core is made up of a lot of high-density materials that offer consistency as well as forgiveness. The design of this core increases the RG and provides higher flare potential. This ball is covered with Storm's famous R2S coverstock and allows this ball to glide through the front part of the lane and react on the backend. The Torrent bowling ball is finished with a 2000-grit matte finish that gives this ball the ability to dig through the oil on the lanes and give the bowler more control at the backend.
The TORRENT is a ball for control. With the famous R2S Coverstock you see control right off your hand. Reads the midlane very well and doesn't seem to over react. I drilled mine 90/3 3/4"/70 which is a pin down very controlled drilling. I noticed even if the lanes dried up the ball still had good continuos motion through out the lane. This ball is great to start a block in the fresh, as it is very good at blending the wet/dry reaction without giving you the jump off the back end. With the R2S Coverstock you have smooth consistent reaction with much forgiveness. If you want control and versatility this is a must ball in your bag!
Thanks for asking your question! Once approved by our staff it will be posted here for others to answer. If you'd like to receive answers to your question via email enter your email address below.
Due to the time it takes to produce the Storm Torrent ball it will ship in immediately. We cannot ship this ball outside the United States.

Recovery will take time say experts
BY GEORGE PIPER | LITTLETON, CO | April 24, 1999
LITTLETON, CO (April 24, 1999) -- In the days following the horrific
massacre in Littleton, area churches and other faith-based organizations
have opened their arms to members and strangers in an endless stream of
prayer vigils and worship services.
Each word and action seems to solidify the community's faith, supported by
attentive ears of counselors, as survivors tell their tales and ask how
something like this could happen. Students contribute to the healing
ministry by openly praying together and comforting one another.
But as Littleton prepares to say goodbye to the 15 people who died during
the shooting tragedy on Tuesday at Columbine High School, local clergy are
planning the transformation from grieving to healing.
"It's important to understand that our lives have been shook; they've been
devastated," said the Rev. Ken Summers of Dakota Ridge Assembly of God,
where four Columbine students and a security guard attend. "We need to
emerge out of this ... as something different than what we were."
Summer is part of a cross-denominational prayer group of 25 or so ministers.
He expects that network to assess and respond to local churches needs as the
recovery progresses.
As people rebuild their lives, Summers believes they should strive to make
different commitments in their lives instead of returning to the life they
led. Similarly, Summers advocates a long-term prayer commitment to local
schools. The issue isn't prayer in school as much as it is prayer for the
schools, he says.
At one worship service, the minister at Columbine United Church, Steve
Poos-Benson, urged people to place candles in their windows as signs of
light shining in the metaphorical darkness resulting from the tragedy.
Faith organizations in Littleton and surrounding towns are doing a good job
in giving survivors faith-based outlets, notes Bob Barnes of Presbyterian
Assistance (PDA). In addition to worship services, the faith community is
working ecumenically to plan crisis training and other long-term projects.
Other national faith-based disaster response organizations are also
responding to the tragedy. Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR) is working with
Lutheran Family Services of Colorado in providing trauma and grief
counseling support through church gatherings, according to Gil Furst, LDR
director. The United Methodist Church, through its United Methodist
Committee on Relief (UMCOR) and The Upper Room, has sent counselors and
other resources to help survivors recover emotionally. Church World Service
has said it will also provide aid as it is needed.
Barnes says he is particularly concerned about the coming months when the
present deluge of counselors and media leave town. He anticipates returning
with a PDA crisis team and expects that people will find that they may be
hurting more than they realized.
Many area teenagers, Barnes says, are collectively torn between getting
back to school and fearing a return to Columbine. He also reports many of
the youth have what has become known as "survivor guilt."
In addition to local churches, the Denver-area Salvation Army and American
Red Cross have been providing meals to emergency workers and others
affected by the tragedy. Salvation Army served more than 5,000 meals in the
first three days following the tragedy with canteens established at the
school and nearby Clement Park, said public relations coordinator Christy
Ziemba, adding that area restaurants and business have donated food for the
effort. The organization is also providing counseling.
Staff from the American Red Cross served some 3,000 meals through Thursday
and received some 2,000 calls at its counseling hotline, says Matt Bertram,
director of communications for ARC's Mile High Chapter. The organization
also is distributing a brochure, "Helping Children Cope with Disaster,"
explaining how children react to disaster and offers advice on meeting a
child's emotional needs.
Local pastors are coordinating a community-wide memorial service Sunday
(April 25) at Dakota Ridge High School. Also on Sunday in Clement Park,
next to Columbine High School, a service is planned with Vice President Al
scheduled to attend. A regional memorial service also is slated for 2 p.m.
Sunday, May 2, at the Denver Coliseum.
Ed Stauffer, an emergency services chaplain who trains chaplains and
pastors nationwide in emergency response, said that long-term response to
this crisis will likely include assistance from counselors nationwide who
specialize in youth trauma.
"This is going to be a very long-term recovery process," he said. "Pastors,
chaplains, mental health professionals, police, teachers, families --
everyone, I mean everyone, will have to work together to get through this.
When I heard about the tragedy -- even though I deal with death all the
time -- I could just feel a physical reaction set in. You couldn't have
made up that story, it's so incredible. We live in one of the most violent
and chaotic societies imaginable."

Herbal teas consist of aromatic spices and / or spicy herbs. In our blends you will find a wide variety of aromatic flavors, from the light sharpness of the ginger to the spicy aroma of lemongrass, the fruity taste of carefully dried orange blossoms or the freshness of the peppermint. This is cultivated in many European countries such as Spain, Italy and Germany, but also in North Africa. Another very popular plant species is the chamomile. We use exclusively European chamomile, which gives the infused drinks a gentle and flowery aroma.
Our herbal teas are purifying, revitalising, aid digestion and are palatable.
Perfect for everyone, at any time.

Almost finished with my cafe build. The one thing I have not been able to find is the mufflers with a 1.25" inlet. The original ones are too far gone to use. They were 23" long as well if it helps. I am on the US but wouldn't mind ordering from overseas. Let me know if you have a source. Thanks
