Fifteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year A – July 16, 2017
[Christ the King Church, Kahului (Confirmation Mass)]
We are people who like to see results – and now! Microwave ovens often seem to take too long. We think a five or six hour flight is an ordeal, when our ancestors would have taken weeks to travel the same distance. We look at our watches when the high-speed internet is not downloading a video fast enough. Jesus, however, seems to have a different perspective. Even though his message is urgent, he knows that it takes time and preparation to really sink in, to take root, and to grow, so that it can bear the fruit he wants it to bear.
Surely you did not come to church today to learn about agriculture, as interesting as it might be. You came to worship God, to thank him for his blessings, and to open yourself anew to the mission Jesus entrusts to every one of us, his disciples. He wants us to go out and sow the seed of the Word of God – that is, to witness to Jesus himself, who is the eternal Word made flesh. He has come down from heaven to dwell among us, and God's word is always "fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats." It does not return to him void, but achieves the end for which he sent it. And so Jesus teaches us, by way of an agricultural image or parable, how we are to go about the work he has entrusted to us.
First, gives us the seed. He gives us himself. This is why we gather to hear the Word of God at every Mass and sacrament. It is the way that Jesus gives us the kernel of what we are to proclaim to the world. But, as Jesus points out, not everyone who hears actually listens. Sometimes even here we can be distracted and the seed can be blown away by the winds of daydreaming; stolen away by the birds of self-centeredness, which eat it up for its own benefit and not so that it can produce fruit that can be shared; or simply choked by a world that has other ways of looking at things than God's ways. And so, we must learn how to nurture this seed, to be better listeners, so that the seed can be planted deeply, open up in good soil, and bear good fruit. Sometimes we do not understand the Scriptures, so we just dismiss them, casting them aside on rocky ground. But we need to cultivate our love of the Word of God by spending time with it. Every person should have his or her own Bible, and we should spend time reflecting on it throughout the day. When we become frustrated because we do not understand it, we can simply walk away from it; or we can be challenged to study it, to share it with family and friends to glean their understanding and insights. It growth in good soil is not instantaneous, but takes time, dedication, and patience. But it will not be void, and if we are faithful, it will always achieve the end for which God sent it.
Then, of course, we need to plant the seed once we have received it. It needs to be sown and scattered widely, so that all who are living in a world of darkness and dryness can be refreshed by its life giving streams. Have the poor lost hope of ever escaping from the indignities of their state? To them the Word of God can bring hope. Have married couples been allured by the prevailing culture of "what's in it for me?", or can the Word of God convince and convict them that living for the other is what will bring them the greatest happiness? Have we just accepted that there will always be discord and fighting between ethnic groups, political parties, or factions in the Church? Or can the Word of God be sown in such a way that it can turn situations of misunderstanding and hatred into civil discourse in the truth?
But where do we sow the seed? Only here in church, where it is safe to do so; where we know everyone embraces it, or at least wants to? Or are we not sent out to sow it where it might grow and it might not. Do we ever share our faith at home and make the home a domestic church, where God's Word is living and active? Do we share the beauty of the Lord Jesus with our coworkers or classmates, especially with those who have no idea how wonderful Jesus is? I once remember coming to a Christmas play put on by the youth group of the parish that tried to show the true meaning of Christmas as opposed to the commercialized "holiday" celebrations that have replaced it. It was a moving play, performed with great devotion. But afterwards I remember telling the youth how wonderful it would be if they could perform it in a park or at the mall, and not just in a church where everyone really agrees with the message in the first place. Would that be risky? Might they be ridiculed or ignored? Might they be throwing pearls in front of pigs, to use an image Jesus himself used? Yet how will the powerful Word of God go out unless we take such risks, going beyond what is comfortable, and realizing that some will fall by the wayside, some will be eaten up by cynical birds, and some will simply be choked off by the cares of the world. Yet some will fall on good soil and produce good fruit, even if only thirty-fold.
It is our privilege and our mission to go out and sow the Word of God patiently but faithfully, so that it may accomplish the healing and the reconciliation for which God sent it.

|Estée Lauder Maximum Cover Foundation
Shade: Light, 30mls
The forumla is quite thick but it speads quite easily. This can be used on the face and body. The first time I used it I tried it out with a foundation brush but it was far too heavy for my liking. Well it is a maximum coverage foundation. On my whole face it was too much. So I tried it with my fingers and I much prefer the result, however it's still a little too heavy and it just wipes out my freckles on my face!
My ultimate preference for this is to use it as a concealer. I tend to keep this for blemishes mainly on my chin that have a high pigmentation and I need a longwear out of my make up look. Especially for working 12 hour shifts!
Foundation: Rimmel Match Perfection, 100 Ivory
Colour Correction under eyes: Make Up Forever camouflage palette (peach tone concealer)
Concealer: Estée Lauder Maximum Cover Foundation, Light
Eyeshadows: Urban Decay Naked 2 - link
Blush: Catrice Defining Blush 020 Rose Royce
Bronzer: Benefit Hoola
Brows: Clinique Instant Brow Lift, Soft Brown
Mascara: Maybelline Rocket Mascara
Liquid liner: L'oreal super liner perfect slim
Lip Stain:17 Lip stain Berry Crush
Gloss: MAC Cremesheen Glass, Colour stauration
Face powder: MAC MSF, Light
The best part? It lasts the whole 12 hours. I set it with a little powder and I don't need to touch up!
Thanks for stopping by :)

ECM 2406March 2015
Lena Willemark voice, fiddle and viola
Anders Jormin double bass
Karin Nakagawa 25-string koto
Anders Jormin's new Swedish-Japanese project returns the highly distinctive voice and fiddle of Lena Willemark to ECM (her first appearance on the label in more than a decade), and introduces koto player Karin Nakagawa. In their collaborative music the Japanese classical tradition and the stark, archaic sounds of the koto, allied to Jormin's muscular bass improvisations, form a unique context for Lena's sung poems, delivered in her native Älvdals-dialect. Traditions and non-idiomatic improvising are cross-referenced, and new paths are opened up.


text: Born in Italy, Anita Pallenberg was a model and began her life with the Rolling Stones as Brian Jones's girlfriend whom she had met in 1965 before moving to Keith Richards from 1967 to 1979. Anita Pallenberg was not the usual groupie but had a real influence on the band which led many to call her the sixth Rolling Stone. An influence on their music but also on their habits – she was accused of sharing her addictions to heroine with the other members. Obsessed with black magic and credited as signing background vocals on Sympathy for the Devil, Anita Pallenberg was described by Marianne Faithfull as 'evil glamour'. The rock muse also appeared in various films such as Roger Vadim's Barbarella, in 1968. Anita Pallenberg was the embodiment of the ultimate rock chick, with an insouciant taste for glamour that has surely influenced Kate Moss's archetypal boho outfits, thin blonde hair and dirty looks.

At the end of last year, I hosted a contest on my Facebook page. I had over 1,000 entries into the contest to win a free mini session with 10 free digital downloads. A winner was chosen, and Jessica was the lucky recipient. She immediately contacted me about scheduling a birthday session for her twin daughters, and a date was set. We spent the weeks that followed hammering out all of the tiniest details from location to outfits, color schemes to props & backdrops. The day of the session finally arrived, and these sweet girls did not disappoint. Jessica showed up with her mom in tow to help with the wrangling, and we were off! It was a beautiful day, and we were blessed to be able to capture some indoor as well as outdoor shots. The girls seemed to enjoy it all, and were gorgeous in all of their outfits. I enjoyed chatting with Jessica and her mom as we went about the business of capturing Ava Kate & Harper's cuteness. As I started to share sneak peeks a few hours after we wrapped the session, Jessica contacted me to thank me for the session, and to schedule a birthday session this summer for her first-born daughter. I'm looking forward to seeing them again!
In addition to the 10 free digital images, if I get 15 unique comments on this blog post (see below to comment) before May 1, I'll give Jessica an 11x14 mounted print of her choice from this session.

Tips for Driving in the Snow and Cold Weather
When you live in Oceanside CA it might not occur to you when you head up to the mountains for a little snowboarding, sledding or skiing that there are a few key things you should know about winter driving and winterizing your car. To most people who live in an area where there is snow every winter these are obvious tips. So to avoid problems while traveling to the slopes and to look and act more like a local at the ski resort check out the tips below.
First and foremost, check your tires. Make sure you have a good amount of tread, old, worn out tires will not grip the snow very well. If you really want to make sure you are covered, get snow tires.
Next, make sure you have chains for your tires. Also, unless you want to be stuck figuring out the whole chains thing by the side of the road (usually in snow), practice once at home on your sunny driveway.
Use rubber floor mats instead of your nice carpet mats, in a pinch they can double as a cushion between you and the snow when you are putting on those chains.
Make sure your windshield wipers are working and you have plenty of washer fluid. Coming from So Cal, many times your windshield wipers haven't been used in months! Functioning wipers and lots of fluid will keep that snow under control.
Get a check-up for your car. A road trip to the mountains is particularly brutal on brakes, batteries and coolant its beneficial to check and avoid future brake repair. For good measure also check the belts and hoses.
Pack an Emergency Kit. Sometimes things go wrong and you are stranded on the side of the road. That's fine in sunny Southern California but in the snow you can get cold and in trouble fast.
- Flashlight with spare batteries.
- Ice scraper / brush for clearing your windshield.
- Sand / gravel/ +
- in case you get stuck in the snow and need to get some extra traction under your wheels.
- Jumper cables.
- A spare jacket, blanket and work gloves.
- If you don't have one yet, you may want to get a cell phone. Make sure you have an automobile charger for your phone in your car at all times.
Drive Safely. It's harder to stop or turn on wet, icy, or snowy pavement then on dry pavement so drive slower and give yourself a safer distance when following cars. This simple rule seems obvious but easy to forget. When approaching an intersection go slowly, you never know when someone else is sliding on the ice and unable to stop. Avoiding accidents and problems is much easier when you are taking it slow. But most of all, have fun going to the snow is a great way to spend your vacation and when you are prepared and drive safely you will have an even better time.

Navarro's Jamar Martin verbally committed Monday to attend and play basketball at Charleston Southern University in Charleston, SC.
Martin, a First-Team, All-Region XIV and All-North Zone performer, averaged 15 points and 6.5 rebounds for coach Michael Landers' Region XIV-Tournament-qualifying Bulldogs this season. Martin, a 40 percent three-point shooter this season, hit 47.8 percent from the floor and 66.2 percent from the foul line.
Martin produced double-figure scoring in a team-high 25 games as a sophomore, including 18 of the team's first 19 games of the 2015-16 season. The 6-foot-6 small forward led Navarro in rebounding 16 times, in steals 10 times, and in blocked shots on 6 occasions.
The Toronto, Canada, product had five games of 20-plus scoring as a sophomore, with personal highs of 27 in a 71-67 overtime win at Kilgore on Feb. 3, 2016, and 26 in an 89-79 win over San Jacinto-Central on Nov. 21, 2015. He had other personal-high totals in rebounding (12) against Jacksonville in a 90-89 win over November 24, 2015, in steals (6) against San Jacinto-Central, and in blocks (5) against Blinn.
Martin finishes his two-year career here among individual leaders since 2000 in four career categories: 4th in blocked shots (40), 5th in made field goals (255), 10th in field-goal attempts and 11th in points scored (671). He also ranks in five single-season categories: 2nd in field-goal attempts (358), 3rd in points scored (449), 5th in made field goals (171), 7th in blocked shots (27), and 8th in three-point field goals made (60).
Charleston Southern, a member of the Big South Conference, finished 9-21 last season under head coach Barclay Radebaugh. The Buccaneers compete with Campbell, Coastal Carolina, Gardner-Webb, High Point, Liberty, Longwood, Presbyterian, Radford, UNC-Asheville and Winthrop.

Dave Jones, Insurance Commissioner for the State of California visited Redding on Sunday, September 15, 2013, a guest of the Democratic Women's Club. He began by explaining that there is no insurance commission, there's "just me". In California the insurance commissioner is elected by the people directly. His job is to regulate California's insurance market, a $126 Billion industry comprising 10% of the state's economy, to promote healthy markets, but also to protect Californians in their interactions with insurance companies.

The main topic of discussion that day was the Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare by its detractors. The commissioner, an enthusiastic supporter, explained that while many are under the impression the new law will go into effect in 2014, many of its provisions are in effect already. He cited the following examples:
Under the Affordable Care Act companies can no longer practice "medical rescission", a term used to describe removing a rate-payer from the roles when they make a claim due to an omission or error on an application years ago after having paid premiums all that time.
Insurance companies can no longer deny coverage to children with pre-existing conditions.
Dependants can now be kept on parents' policies until they are 26 years of age.
Annual and lifetime "caps" on insurance payments have been eliminated.
Certain preventative treatments, like colonoscopies, no long have co-payments associated with them.
"Gender rating" has been outlawed, the practice of routinely charging women higher premiums.
What goes into effect in 2014:
All policies offered in California must include ten "Essential Health Benefits". This provision is meant to prevent "junk" policies that provide almost no benefits to consumers from entering the marketplace.
Out-of-pocket expenses (co-pays and deductibles) have been limited to $6500 per year with a sliding scale that scales all the way down to $0 for low-income Californians.
No exclusions will be allowed for any pre-existing conditions (children are already exempt).
Commissioner Jones stressed that the Affordable Care Act does not alter Medicare or Medicare Supplemental Insurance.
He also voiced his support for the Insurance Rate Public Justification Act, a ballot measure that would give his office the authority to reject rate increases by insurance companies, modeled after Proposition 103 passed by the voters in 1988, which did something similar to the auto insurance industry. The act would also make any company document meant to justify rate increases a public record. The measure has qualified and will be on this November's ballot.
|Photo by Joe McGarity
Questions for the audience were submitted on 5x7 cards. One such question, "If I can't afford insurance, how can I afford to pay penalties?" was initially ducked by the commissioner. He instead explained the penalty system. The new law requires all Californians to purchase health insurance. Any individual who does not purchase insurance would be charged a penalty on their federal income tax return. This penalty would increase each year insurance is not purchased. Although direct questions from the audience were not a part of the scheduled event, this one came up again. The second time around the commissioner faced it directly saying that there are some "safe harbors" from penalties. For example, if an individual cannot find a product with a premium less that 8.5% of his income (modified adjusted gross), that individual would not be assessed a penalty. He also suggested that many single, working people without children would be able to qualify for MediCal, who do not qualify now.
To sign up for insurance under the new system, call (800) 300-1506.

The Best of Milan Men's Fashion Week
Furs and boiler suits, blousy baroque prints and "Great Gatsby" suiting. What do all these have in common? Well, nothing, other than the fact that they were all proposed by different Milanese designers as dressing options for men for spring/summer 2018. The overall takeaway from the Milan men's wear shows was that designers pulled in their own distinct directions, ignoring trends, and proposing what they do best. Even in troubled times, there's a customer for that kind of conviction.

Michigan tart cherries are the best in the world (in my humble opinion.) We have used thawed frozen cherries in this recipe, a great alternative to fresh if you have missed the short June-July cherry season. Our cobbler contains no starchy thickener, so the cherry layer remains juicy and delicious.
5 cups tart cherries, pitted (with juice)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1/2 cup sugar
3 sticks butter, divided
2 eggs
1 cup milk
3 cups flour
4 tsp. baking powder
3/4 cup additional sugar
1/2 tsp. additional salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Measure cherries and juice into a large bowl. Add salt, almond extract, and sugar. Mix thoroughly and set aside. Melt one stick of butter (8 tbs.) and pour it into a 9X13 glass baking dish. Swish the butter around to coat the dish. Pour the cherry mixture into a buttered pan, using a spatula to spread the cherries in an even layer.
Melt the remaining 2 sticks (16 tbs.) butter. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Slowly drizzle warm butter into egg mixture, whisking constantly so the eggs don't curdle. Set wet ingredients aside.
In a large mixing bowl, blend remaining dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour wet ingredients into center. Using a wooden spoon or sturdy spatula, gently mix the dry into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated. Evenly drop large spoonfuls of dough (like dumplings) overtop of the cherry mixture. The cherries should not be entirely covered.
To catch any overspill during baking, place a large cookie sheet onto the oven rack where you will bake your cobbler. Rest cobbler on the baking sheet and slide into preheated oven. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the dumpling layer comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes before serving.

A: I guess that we won't be going rollerblading(溜冰,滑冰) today with all this rain!
B: Yes, rollerblading in six inches of water would not be fun. What would you like to do instead?
A: I think that maybe we could check out the local mall, grab some lunch(吃午餐), and maybe see a movie.
B: Yes, that sounds like a relaxing way to check out the local culture and still stay dry.
A: What else could we do in bad weather?
B: You know, we could take a double-decker bus tour(双层巴士游) of famous haunted houses and buildings.
A: That would be fun, and the rain would only add to the atmosphere.
B: There is an old English pub next door. Maybe when we finish with the haunted house, we can duck in there for some brew(啤酒).
A: What a great idea!
B: If we are lucky, maybe they'll have some great food at the pub for supper.


text: Trenbolone is also much more potent than testosterone at suppressing endogenous androgen production. This makes clear the fact that estrogen is not the only culprit with negative feedback inhibition, as here there is no buildup of this hormone to report here. There is however some activity as a progestin inherent in this compound, as trenbolone is a 19-nortestosterone (nandrolone) derivative (a trait characteristic of these compounds). However it seems likely that much of its suppressive nature still stems from its powerful androgen action. With the strong impact trenbolone has on endogenous testosterone, of course the use of a stimulating drug such as HCG and/or Clomid®/Nolvadex® is recommended when concluding steroid therapy (a combination is preferred). Without their use it may take a prolonged period of time for the hormonal balance to resume, as the testes may at first not be able to normally respond to the resumed output of endogenous gonadotropins due to an atrophied state. Those who have used Parabolan regularly would often claim it to be indispensable. A weekly dosage of 3 ampules (228mg) was the most popular range when running a cycle, however many did find it highly effective in lesser amounts. Although a weekly administration schedule would prove sufficient, athletes usually injected a single ampule per application, the total amount spread evenly throughout the week. While Parabolan is quite potent when used alone, it was generally combined with other steroids for an even greater effect. Leading up to a show one could successfully add a non-aromatizing anabolic such as Winstrol® or Primobolan®. Such combinations will elicit a greater level density and hardness to the build, often proving dramatic to a stage appearance. We could also look for bulk with this drug, and addition stronger compounds like Dianabol or Testosterone. While the mass gain would be quite formidable with such a stack, some level of water retention would probably also accompany it. Moderately effective anabolics such Deca-Durabolin® or Equipoise® would be somewhat of a halfway point, providing extra strength and mass but without the same level of water bloat we see with more readily aromatized steroids.

Back on the 15th of December 2012, the Ultimate Fighting Championship held two events on that same day, the TUF Smashes Finale & the TUF 16 Finale. In reality due to significant time zone differences, those two cards were about 24 hours apart.
This Saturday the 31st of May 2014, Zuffa LLC promotes another two events on the same day, UFC Fight Night 41 in Berlin, Germany & pretty much straight after that The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 Finale in São Paulo, Brazil.
Despite the chatter about over saturation rearing it's ugly head once again, Dana White & co are poised to keep promoting more & more shows. Why, you may ask?
Well, it's about global expansion, getting into new markets, so eventually multiple parts of the world having shows at the same time. Before you roll your eyes at the concept, think about it, it's feasible for any other global sport, so why not MMA?
You may say such a model is realistic for football (not NFL, football!!!), but not for combat sports. I beg to differ.
I remember back in the 90's when boxing was more popular than it is today. It wasn't unusual to have two marquee match-ups on two different cards on the same night. For example, in a prime time U.K. slot you might have had Steve Collins, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank or Prince Naseem Hamed and later that night at 5 a.m. you might have an American star like Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson or Oscar De La Hoya. From what I can remember of that era I don't remember anyone after watching the earlier card saying "I'm not bothered staying up for Tyson's fight" etc.
Now, I know this Saturday's events may not have those equivalent household names on them. However, that does not invalidate the sustainability of this international model long term. The main question here as always is do these shows have fights on them that matter from a ranking perspective? The answer is yes, there is five fights overall with ranked fighters competing in them, three of those on the Berlin show and two on the São Paulo event.
The irony for me is that the earlier show overshadows the later one. Losing Junior Dos Santos really hurt the Brazil show, but injuries happen and the show must go on (with the exception of UFC 151 of course, sorry Jonny Bones).
We will look at the three ranked bouts from the Berlin card, which airs exclusively on UFC Fight Pass (BT Sport in Ireland & the UK) first. Then we will look at the two ranked fights from the TUF 3 Brazil Finale.
First up we begin with the bantamweight division where number seven ranked fighter Iuri Alcantara (29-5) takes on unranked Vaughan Lee (14-9-1).
Alcantara is coming in to this fight off a split decision victory over Wilson Reis, while Lee is coming off an impressive unanimous decision win over Nam Phan.
Both men are 3-2 in their last five, so the winner establishes a two fight winning streak with something to build upon. Both fighters are highly skilled in their own right.
A win for Alcantara calls for a top ten opponent next to begin a gradual ascent back into fighting top five opposition. A loss however could possibly kick the Brazilian out of the top ten.
A victory for Lee puts him in the top ten. If it's a close one it calls for another top ten opponent to likewise gradually work his way up the rankings, but if he can finish, this could speed up his journey to fighting contenders at 135 lbs.
Next up we move to the showcase division of this card, Middleweight. Number nine ranked Francis Carmont (22-8) goes up against non-ranked C.B. Dollaway (14-5).
Carmont is coming off a dominating decision loss to Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza, while Dollaway is coming off an impressive first round KO over Cezar Ferreira. Normally the UFC matchmakers do not put a winner and a loser together, but they have made an exception here.
Dollaway is 3-2 in his last five. One of those losses was a controversial decision to Tim Boetsch. He has looked good of late, but not against the most stellar opposition.
Carmont is 4-1 on the other hand in his last five already beating opposition slightly better than Dollaway's opponents. Therefore both men match up fairly evenly in the overall scheme of things.
A win for the French man here calls for a top ten opponent. A loss on the other hand sends the Tristar team member out of the top ten. Dollaway on the other hand is on an ascent and a win puts him in the top ten. Carmont is very difficult to look good against, never mind finish. If Dollaway wins he goes straight into the top ten and will most likely fight another top ten guy, but if he can finish the fight then a top five opponent may be called for next.
Staying at 185 lbs, we move to the main event in Berlin between number seven ranked Mark Munoz and number 11 Gegard Mousasi. Both men are coming off losses to the same opponent, number three ranked Lyoto Machida. Munoz's came via devastating KO in the first round, while Mousasi's a dominant decision loss to the Brazilian.
Both men need a win desperately. A win for Munoz keeps him in the top ten while a win for Mousasi earns him a place in the top ten. A loss for Munoz knocks him out of the top ten, while a loss for Mousasi puts him out of the top 15.
Moving to South America on Fox Sports 1 (BT Sport in Ireland & the U.K.), we re-focus our attention to welterweight with number eight Demian Maia (18-6) competing against unranked Alexander Yakovlev (21-4).
Maia is coming off a two-fight losing streak, albeit close decisions. The Russian is however coming off a three fight win streak, most recently over Paul Daley by decision.
Maia desperately needs a win. On paper he should win. A win keeps him in the top 10 & probably lines him up with a ranked welterweight next. If Gunnar Nelson wins his next match up, that might make sense down the road. A win for Yakovlev would be huge, catapulting him into the top ten & calling for a similarly ranked opponent too.
Finally we move to heavyweight and our main event where number seven Stipe Miocic (11-1) against an unlikely short notice replacement in light heavyweight stepping up to heavyweight Fabio Maldonado (21-6).
Miocic is expected to take care of business here & hopefully he can salvage his lost fight with number one contender Junior Dos Santos. A loss however if the upset trend of late continues would certainly knock the fire fighter out of the top 10. Maldonado has nothing to lose. I would expect to see him return to 205 lbs regardless of the outcome of this fight. If he wins possibly a ranked light heavyweight is up next.
That about does it here. However don't miss any of the action this weekend to find out who claims for themselves what's on the line.

Hana Ali: 'Daughter' describes Ali final moments
- Updated: June 6, 2016
Muhammad Ali's daughter, Hana Ali, has opened up on what it was like during her father's final moments.
Muhammad Ali's family thought he would pull through when he was admitted to hospital with respiratory problems.
The boxing great died aged 74 on Saturday surrounded by close relatives after spending five days in hospital.
His official cause of death was septic shock as a result of unspecified natural causes.
His daughter Hana Ali revealed her father's heart "kept on beating for 30 minutes" after all his organs failed.
She wrote on Twitter: "No one had ever seen anything like it. A true testament to the strength of his spirit and will!"
Speaking about his final moments, Hana said: "The whole family tried to stay strong and whispered in his ear, "You can go now. We will be okay.
"We love you. Thanks you. You can go back to God now."
"All of us were around him hugging and kissing him and holding hands, chanting the Islamic prayer."
Family spokesman Bob Gunnell said: "Muhammad became ill on Monday and was admitted to hospital on Monday night.
"But he was in fair condition and we expected that to stay the case.
"Muhammad has beaten back many times and we expected that to happen this time, but the family was called when it became more serious."
Mr Gunnell said Ali did not suffer in his final moments and that his family had a whole day to say their goodbyes to him.
"The champ would have been proud of his family," he added.

Rev. William Owens, President of the Coalition of African American Pastors, has had enough of President Barack Obama's divisiveness.
Although Obama continues to enjoy the support of most black Americans, Owens claimed that Obama's policies have "caused division in our nation and have fostered a lawless society."
"The divide that we are witnessing didn't just start (on its own)," he added. "We have a president who has divided us as a nation with his political rhetoric. In America, gays are divided against straight people, rich against poor, women against men, blacks against whites, Black Lives Matter against police — which our president promotes."

Rev. Owens also denounced violence on behalf of his organization.
"In Baton Rouge six police officers were ambushed and three are now dead for simply doing their jobs. This should not happen in America. The attacks on police officers are terrible acts, which CAAP utterly condemns," he told Breitbart. "To have taken up arms against police officers is an evil that will only bring more violence, hatred, and division upon us. If we don't act now, we will be destroyed from within."
TRENDING: Ben Carson's HUD Launches Serious Investigation of Facebook
He is concerned about the "spirit of lawlessness" that has emerged from over the series of violent encounters is due to Obama's actions.
"I am deeply concerned about the lawlessness that has become commonplace in our neighborhoods. We have a 'spirit' of lawlessness that has permeated every area of our civilization," he explained. "President Obama opened the door with his lawless deeds by continually subverting the will of the people by using executive action to institute policies that 'We the People' voted against."

Bewdley Town Council
We Don't Buy Crime
Bewdley Town Council
Rural areas in Bewdley become We Don't Buy Crime 'no go' areas for burglars
A large rural area in Wyre Forest which is covered by the Bewdley and Rural Safer Neighbourhood Team will become totally protected with a state of the art property marking system as part of a Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police initiative.
Every household in the Parishes of Rock, Kidderminster Foreign and Arley, Shatterford and Pound Green is being visited and has been offered the chance to security mark their property free of charge with SmartWater. This is part of a new We Don't Buy Crime campaign aimed at tackling all forms of acquisitive crime.
Telford-based SmartWater manufactures and supplies cutting-edge forensic marking products which can be used to protect all manner of valuables, business assets and vehicles. Every bottle of the liquid carries a unique forensic code which is registered to a specific address. Once applied it is almost impossible to remove and can only be seen under ultraviolet (UV) light.
Police Officers and Police Community Support Officers from Safer Neighbourhood Teams in Wyre Forest spent three days in November delivering the product to people's houses and supporting residents to mark their property. Members of the Bewdley Safer Neighbourhood Team are continuing to visit the remaining few houses.
T/Superintendent Tom Harding said: "The old saying goes that 'prevention is better than the cure' and this is very true for burglary. Until you have been burgled you can't appreciate the impact of someone coming into your property and going through your personal belongings.
"We owe it to the community we serve to constantly strive to improve and look to work in smarter ways as a police force. Having a company with the know how and track record of SmartWater on our doorstep, it made perfect sense to look at how we could work with them to benefit our communities."
"It's not just about being able to return stolen goods to their rightful owner; protecting your property with SmartWater also acts as a huge deterrent to burglars because they know that they and the goods they steal can be linked back to a particular property."
Gary Higgins, Director of Security Services for SmartWater, said: "This is a very exciting project generated in direct response to the fight against rural crime. Research carried out by the National Rural Crime Network reports that rural crime could be costing the UK economy as much as £800 million per year and is having a significant impact on the daily lives of our rural communities.
"SmartWater has a proven track record in reducing crime, particularly burglary, criminals know and fear our brand and we want them to know that the police are actively looking for SmartWater across the West Mercia and Warwickshire force areas."
The We Don't Buy Crime campaign
The SmartWater delivery is the first part of a new wider campaign aimed at tackling a whole range of acquisitive crime. DCI Harding explained: "This is just the first part of the We Don't Buy Crime campaign, the aim of which is to make the whole of the West Mercia and Warwickshire policing areas as hostile as possible for anyone who looks to profit from other people's misery.
"Another key part of the campaign will be launching a new initiative with second-hand dealers aimed at making it as difficult as possible for criminals to sell on stolen goods.
"Other initiatives will include deploying covert tracker bicycles and cars throughout the region aimed at catching criminals red-handed.
"Through this campaign we will be sending out a strong message to burglars, thieves, robbers, shoplifters and pickpockets that you are not welcome in the region and if you persist in your behaviour we will make life extremely difficult for you."

Sunnyledge 01/17/2005
Reviewers Rating:
After several trips to St. John we have finally found our perfect paradise at Sunnyledge. When we walked through the front door we were "wowed" by the spectacular panoramic ocean view.
Sunnyledge is a brand new villa located above Francis Bay. You can see St. Thomas to the west and Tortola to the northeast and of course look down on Francis Bay beach. If Francis is your favorite beach, as it is ours, this is a perfect location -- only a quick 4 minute drive down to the beach, or a 10 minute walk.
Three lovely decorated bedrooms, two on the main level and one on the lower level, each with their own bathroom/shower and ocean views. Spacious living/dining/kitchen area. For entertainment there is a game room area with a chess/checkers inlay table and a satellite tv and dvd player in the living room area. The kitchen is well-equipped and the villa has lovely furnishings throughout. The large tiled deck has both sunny and shady areas, table and chairs for outside dining and a breeze that keeps the bugs away.
We found out about this wonderful villa through Terry Witham, who manages it from St. John. I'd be happy to answer any questions about the villa, please feel free to e-mail me.
It was difficult to leave this place --- everything was so perfect and we can't wait to return to our paradise.

Head of Marketing, Cantina
Born sleeping, Clark knew he was destined for great things. After years of trying out different roles in marketing and watching more TED Talks then he'd like to admit, Clark has come to terms with the fact that he is really good at two things: connecting with people and telling really good stories. Lucky for him, both were enough to land him a job at Cantina as Head of Marketing.

One of the things we're loving about Paris is how vibrant it feels. This picture is a midday Sunday street scene in the neighborhood where we're staying.
As we walked to dinner last night at 10pm (!) and passed people speaking French, German, Italian and English, plus multiple eateries brimming with people inside and outside at tables on the sidewalk just in this small neighborhood in the 2nd arrondissement, Seattle paled in comparison. It seems more like a cowtown with delusions of grandeur.
THIS is what a real international city looks and feels like. Granted, they've had hundreds of years to get it to this point and it's by no means perfect, but they're at least a great example of true high density, urban living. I love this place.

FIBER Festival is an international meeting place for lovers and creators of art, music and digital culture. The festival attracts over 50 participating speakers and artists, 2500 visitors and a wide selection of local companies and organizations, who will connect in the city of Amsterdam to create a dense program of audiovisual performances, live/DJ sets, installations, conference talks and labs. FIBER connects with both a local and international audience of young, professional creators and renowned artists who are operating at the frontiers of digital technology, to create or consume immersive and mind-bending experiences.
Prima Materia
Alchemical thinking and making in art, design and music
The theme Prima Materia allows FIBER to connect the work of today's artists, designers and musicians to a renewed interest in the old field of alchemy. Back in the day alchemists speculatively worked with matter to understand the design of the universe. Their main focus was reaching the mythical Prima Materia, the metaphysical matter that would connect everything in the cosmos.
For a long time alchemy was considered a mystical pseudoscience, but it now becomes unmistakably clear that it is a precursor of contemporary science and the development of our knowledge about matter.
FIBER points out extraordinary similarities between the work of alchemists and the modern interdisciplinary artists, designers, programmers and engineers. Prima Materia explores their search in hybrid materials, data, alternative instruments, magical thinking and artificial life like bots and machine learning. Through the theme Prima Materia FIBER presents new narratives and irrational ratios between man, machine and nature.

Enchanted note:
Today I'm seeing a lot of posts about making big changes – starting rigorous diets and exercises regimes, massive career breakthroughs and other large scale actions.
Now, this may be perfect for you.
Here's my take on using this day to launch forward with great energy.
January is a time of dark, rest and quiet.
I live, as much as possible, in tune with the seasons. My body has evolved over a long time to live with the European climate – with four distinct and very different times of year.
Whilst our culture forces us into huge action here in the middle of winter, I find this doesn't work for me.
Even with my attempts to live more in harmony with natural cycles, I inevitably get ill this time of year. I take this as my body trying to tell me to slow down. To rest. To look inward at this dark time.
The dark is where seeds germinate, sometimes for a long time.
You can't rush this process.
Whilst it's less 'WOW' and rewarding, this germination stage, it's also essential to sustainable growth.
So, by all means use the start of a new calendar year to reflect on what's been.
Here's something to try:
Set intentions and remind you which direction you'd like to go. The cold weather is great journalling time, also a lovely time for short, reflective walks.
Use journalling, walking and sitting by the fireside to dream your future into being.
But give these things time to germinate in the dark.
Use the cold, silent stillness to plan goals and to dream – but be kind to yourself. It isn't a time for a huge energetic push!
New Year is a great time to let go of the old, and start to think of the new – but wait for the first stirrings of Spring to begin the work in ernest, if you want to have a strong and bountiful harvest.

When Summer Comes Again / Watercolour
A watercolour full of nostalgia and meaning. Bright country colours have been used in liquid washes to express the harmony of a natural sunny scene. We are in the shadow of an old farm building casting it's long shadows over a group of free range chickens, scratching around the yard. Trevor shows us a beautiful natural country setting and evokes a feeling of timelessness to the viewer. " I love that feeling, especially on a sunny afternoon, when time seems to be suspended and summer lasts forever. I've done my best to try and evoke that in this painting."

When life gives you lemons, make Chicken Quesadillas!

Chicken Quesadillas
- 1 whole boneless, skinless chicken breast, halved
- 1 large green pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large red pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 very large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 c. (more or less) Mexican shredded cheese

- In a separate pan, put a little oil in pan and saute chicken breasts on medium until browned and cooked all the way through. Slice into thin slices on the diagonal.
- Clean out the same pan that cooked the pepper mixture with a paper towel. Spray with cooking spray. Take one tortilla and lay flat in pan. Fill one half with pepper mixture, sliced chicken and cheese. Fold the empty side of tortilla over the filled side. Cook on medium until lightly browned; flip and cook on the other side. Remove to a cutting board and cut into wedges with a large knife.

Everyday Objects to Ornaments
Preserving Japanese Craft Culture in the V&A Toshiba Gallery by Tanya Bentley, Ralph Day, Natalia Goldchteine, Isak Fallgren
From a gallery presentation in the Toshiba Gallery of Japanese Art, V&A, for the Everyday in Modern Asia module in May 2016.
In this article, we explore how the Everyday is articulated through the display of a number of objects in the V&A Toshiba Gallery of Japanese Art. We also examine the traditions of skill and making and the importance of organic materials for contemporary Japanese design.
The Modern and Contemporary section of the Toshiba Gallery brings together a number of twentieth- and twenty-first- century objects under the umbrella of 'Craft Design.' The interpretative text for this display aligns these objects with a post-WWII drive in Japan to set up 'modern' craft design practices. This called for mass-manufactured, factory-produced objects that would be designed and crafted with the skill and care typical of small studios and with the use of traditional techniques. The guiding principles for this design drive, which were advocated by the Japan Craft Design Association (established in 1956), were affordability, originality, and 'sensitivity to the requirements of modern life.'
Alongside a black lacquer and hemp tray designed in 2009 by contemporary Japanese designer, Kenji Toki (b.1961), which is modelled on the disposable packaging for mangoes used by UK supermarket Sainsbury's, the Craft Design display houses a porcelain 'Crinkle series' vase in the form of a paper bag, designed in 1975 by Makoto Komatsu. These fairly expensive and sturdy designed objects make playful reference to cheaper, less durable, and more likely disposable traces of everyday life (a polystyrene tray, and a paper bag, respectively).
Indeed, Toki and Komatsu make ornaments out of objects which are almost not there. They fix, harden, and exhibit the otherwise fleeting everyday. At the same time these ornaments have their place in the everyday lives of consumers across the globe: vases from Komatsu's Crinkle series, for example, are still in production. At the Museum of Modern Art in New York, they figure in the permanent collection as well as in the online store (where a Crinkle Bag Vase can be purchased for $120).
A shared concern amongst contemporary Japanese craftsmen, such as those exhibited in the Toshiba Gallery, is how to maintain the use of craft tradition in a fast-paced machine world. In response to this, Japanese craftsmen, such as the aforementioned Kenji Toki and Seihachi Tanaka, have made attempts to ensure its preservation through hybrid techniques that fuse digital fabrication and technology with artisanship and traditional craft materials such as Urushi lacquer and Hinoki (Japanese cypress). The Toshiba Gallery seems keen to promote this message too by displaying historical pieces alongside modern and contemporary objects.
Another approach to the preservation of craft tradition is the elevation of craft objects to art pieces. Tanabe Shochiku (b. 1973), a fourth-generation head of a family of basket makers based in Sakai, near Osaka, having trained both as a sculptor and a basket weaver, creates sculptural pieces out of bamboo using traditional weaving techniques. The Toshiba Gallery holds one such piece – the 'Aun II' sculpture. The lower section of the piece has a traditional basket form but closer to the top the weave becomes freer, assuming wave-like forms and spilling out of the boundaries of the basket's sides.
Traditionally, Japanese basket weaving products had a primarily utilitarian function. Such objects were used for the carrying and processing of food, for farming, fishing, mining and storage. The use of such baskets may be seen for example, in a print by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) that shows a group of men, women and children gathering shellfish from a stream using woven bamboo baskets.
Since the middle of the twentieth century there has been a decline in bamboo basket making. This is largely related to the emergence of substitute plastic and vinyl products from the mid-fifties. These new products could be manufactured more cheaply and in larger quantities, causing a significant drop in the number of craftsmen using traditional bamboo techniques. With competition from modern technologies such a transference of the craft, from a utilitarian to an artistic form, as practised by Shochiku and other contemporary Japanese craftsmen mentioned above, may help to preserve historic craft skills.

After a protracted period (3 months!) trying to find a tenant with another agent Gemma found us one in just a few days. It's always tricky when starting out as a landlord to know if you are going to choose a company that is fair and diligent. Jessava Estates look out for client needs, both tenant and landlord, and have a professional intuition and service ethos that is second to none. The business model demonstrates a keen sense of 21st century marketing by making full use of social media as well as more familiar web outlets for advertising. This means it penetrates to a wide range of people needing homes and then, with processes gleaned from deep foundations in the industry, presents a package that both landlord and tenant can easily follow.
In summary. Just call, you will never look back.
Rob S. - Landlord
Great advice and really efficient service, would highly recommend Jessava Property Services. Thank you again Gemma for all your help and efforts, keep up the good work!
Mark J. Landlord
I cannot say enough good things about this estate agency. They are professional, efficient, personable and offer a level of service I've never experienced before. They put the larger chains to shame by doing everything they do, but so much better. Gemma and her team really care about what they do. Keep up the good work guys, this is how estate agents SHOULD be.
Claire M - Tenant
Having rented many properties over the years, never have I come across such a personable and efficient property manager/agent such as Gemma; nothing is too much trouble and Gemma has always sorted any/all enquiries imminently. I would most definitely recommend any prospective Landlords looking for a professional service to use Jessava Estates.
