Cancer detecting pen to be piloted in Texas
We often hear from surgeons that distinguishing cancerous tissues during surgery may be difficult. This is a challenge that has been tackled by a group of researchers from the university of Texas who have developed a revolutionary pen. The MasSpec Pen is coupled to a mass spectrometer and can identify cancerous tissue during surgery in real time.
The MasSpec Pen is able to diagnose cancer within twenty seconds during surgery. The pen is placed over a tissue and uses touch to make a diagnosis. A foot pedal triggers the device to release water droplets which extract molecules from the tissue. The water is drawn into the mass spectrometer. It then analyses the molecular compositions to determine if the tissue is cancerous or not. This also eliminates time waiting for results to return from the pathologist.
While the diagnosis may be quick, the accuracy is still spot on. During a trial, 300 patient samples were analysed and the MasSpec Pen was able to detect four types of cancer; breast, thyroid, ovarian and lung cancer with over 96 % accuracy. This could allow surgeons to remove all cancerous tissue and prevent further complications later on. Similarly, it will eliminate the risks of unnecessary removal of normal tissue.
Over the next several months, three of the devices will be installed in Texas hospitals. The cost of this revolutionary pen is still being debated, but this could well be a useful tool for rural and remote hospitals in Africa to quickly and easily detect cancers.

Rwandan hospital uses telepathology to diagnose cancer
The Rwanda Military Hospital (RMH) has a new tool that enables medical professionals to carry out pathology test using telecommunications technology to facilitate the transfer of image-rich pathological data for diagnosis, education, and research. The OMNYX VL4 system consists of an indoor scanner, cameras, a microscope, and computers says an article in ITNEWS Africa.
The system scans the samples and then displays the results on a computer screen. The images can then be shared online with other medical professionals in the hospital and hospitals globally. RMH has partnered with US doctors who'll work remotely reviewing the images and responding within 24 hours.
"Testing and treating cancer is a big challenge globally, and here in Rwanda, we have a specific challenge of not having many specialised doctors in both testing and treatment of the disease. So, this new system comes as a way of helping us to test and diagnose cancer faster as we communicate among us so that we can be able to administer immediate treatment that will give patients more chances to recover," said Lt Col Fabien Ntaganda, the head of laboratory services at RMH.
The new technology can test for all types of cancers. Doctors will be able to provide the diagnosis and treatment plans within five days compared to the average two weeks it usually takes..
Other East African countries, including Uganda and Tanzania, are looking to roll out the technology soon. They aren't the only African countries that can benefit from the technology.

Whatsapp helps to demystify cancer in Tanzania
Cancer rates are soaring in Africa and people are taking note. The answer to why the disease is spreading so rapidly on the continent is not straightforward. Doctors and health workers attribute the spike to poor health education, environmental changes, high HIV rates, improved diagnostics and the fact that people are simply living longer.
WHO has recently warned that Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) are likely to kill more people in Africa than infectious disease. It set these out as a forecast by 2030. Cancer's a major contributor.
The Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI), Tanzania's major cancer centre, has estimated that the country's heading for 30,000 new cancer cases a year. The diseases's a huge public health concern.
Combating the increase in misleading cancer information is part of Tanzania's contributing. An article in allAfrica says it includes false cancer cures claims and alarming stories on social media linking some foods and human behaviour with cancer. Experts are trying to demystify the disease by curbing this damaging information.
Radiotherapists in Tanzania say WhatsApp, the cross-platform instant messaging service for smartphones, can help to tackle the problem. In February, radiotherapists formed Saratani.info a set of WhatsApp groups to disseminate cancer awareness. Currently, there are five groups. Each one has 251 members, so 1,255 people have so far joined. Each group has five educators, including radiotherapists, doctors and nurses.
Mr Franklin Mtei, Saratani.info's founder, and managing director of the Tanzanian Cancer Society (Tacaso), formed in 2014, leads the team of educators. They're expected to become future cancer ambassadors. Other group members included people from the general public, the private sector, public officials, students, entrepreneurs, professionals and non-professionals.
The groups were formed by adding the WhatsApp users that the radiologists already had in their own phone books. Other people were invited through Facebook. People can join and leave any of the groups voluntarily through their Facebook Page.
A co-founder of Tacaso, Mr Ally Idris, a radiotherapist, says people's perception about cancer in Tanzania has been wrong for many years. Society's information gap is huge. Many people believe that cancer is contagious, while others think that treatment by radiations causes more cancer.
The founders want their initiative to provide services beyond the WhatsApp groups. They plan to expand across Tanzania, targeting vulnerable people who lack information about cancer, its causes, prevention and how to access treatment. It's an initiative that could benefit all Africa.

Protecting our children from HPV
One in every eight women in South Africa die from complications of cervical cancer. Each year, 5,743 new cases of cervical cancer are reported. Almost half of these, 3,027 cases are fatal.
About 80% of cervical cancers are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). It infects the genital area and causes anything from a small genital wart to cervical and other cancers. Vaccination can prevent the virus infection developing on the cervix.
In 2014, the South African National Departments of Health (NdoH) and Basic Education launched a national vaccination campaign to prevent cervical cancer by vaccinating girls aged over nine against HPV. The vaccination was aimed at 500 000 girls from 17 000 public and special schools to provide them with protection before they can be exposed to HPV infection.
In co-ordination with the government's Integrated School Health Programme (IHSP), school health nurses visit schools twice a year to vaccinate the girls. None of them are vaccinated without parental consent.
As the vaccination campaign grew, collecting data became more complex and challenging. NDoH approached the Health Information Systems Program South Africa (HISP-SA) to lead implementation of a mobile data capturing application. It supports data capture during the campaigns.
The app's part of the NDoH's routine health information system, DHIS2, sometimes referred to as webDHIS. It was customised for the campaign by HISP-SA's Lusanda Ntoni and piloted in three provinces. Then, it was developed further using findings from field visits, and implemented during the 2016 campaign.
A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) document helps vaccinators and data capturers to transfer HPV data from registers into the tracker capture app. There's also a guideline for programme managers and information officers on accessing dashboards with information from the campaign on webDHIS. These were updated as the app was implemented.
To date, the app's been implemented in all nine provinces in South Africa, a task co-ordinated by HISP SA's HPV project manager, Margaret Modise. It's simplified HPV dashboards for monitoring and reporting and shows how a simple mHealth initiative can enhance the productivity of vaccination campaigns. Will this way of capturing data lead to more large-scale campaigns in South Africa?

There's lots of projects to improve breast cancer diagnoses
WHO has a report showing breast cancer as the most common cancer in women, both in developed and under developed countries. The breast cancer mortality rate was estimated at 508,000 in 2011. Although breast cancer is thought to be a disease of the developed world, almost 50% of breast cancer cases and 58% of deaths occur in less developed countries. Incidence rates vary greatly worldwide, from 19.3 per 100,000 women in Eastern Africa to 89.7 per 100,000 in Western Europe. In most developing regions, incidence rates are below 40 per 100,000. Africa has the lowest e rates, but here, breast cancer incidence rates are increasing.
An article in FierceBiotech says Philips, the Dutch technology company, is partnering with PathAI, a company that develops artificial intelligence (AI) for pathology, to develop solutions that improve the precision and accuracy of routine breast cancer diagnosis. A report by Tissue Pathology says the two companies are developing deep-learning algorithms that will detect and diagnose several diseases, with the first being breast cancer. The outcome'll be an app that automatically identifies cancerous lesions in breast tissue.
Tumour analysis is essential to diagnosis, but conducting it manually is time consuming and laborious for pathologists. The app will ease the burden on pathologists.
Philips' Illumeo platform uses adaptive intelligence to help radiologists work more efficiently. Its IntelliSite Pathology Solution is an automated digital pathology system that includes a slide scanner, image management system and software tools. Last June, the company bought PathXL, a Northern Ireland company focusing on image analysis and digital pathology.
There's plenty of similar research underway. Samsung is another company that's applying AI to diagnose breast cancer from medical imaging. It uses deep-learning algorithms too to detect breast cancer lesions in ultrasound images.
Breast Cancer News has reported that researchers from Houston Methodist Hospital have developed software to predict breast cancer risk from patient charts and mammograms. Harvard Health Publications has reported that a Harvard-MIT team has used AI to diagnose breast cancer from slides of lymph node cells.
These developments are a step into the future of disease diagnosis. How far behind do developing nations lag in implementing these innovations?

Kenya's cancer screening app ETiCCS's now available
Cervical cancer is the second most common cause of death for women worldwide. In Kenya, it's the leading cause of death for women of reproductive age. Kenyan Network of Cancer Organizations says there are approximately 39,000 new cases of cancer each year in Kenya, leading to more than 27,000 deaths. The star has a report estimating increases in cervical cancers cases from 3,000 to 4,200 by 2025. It's largely due to lack of access to healthcare resources and treatments.
To address this gap and improve the quality of life among women in Africa, and particularly Kenya, the SAP's Design and Co-Innovation Center together with Heidelberg University Hospital has optimised a cervical cancer screening test that combines practical medical research with cloud technology from SAP. The digitised screening test, called Emerging Technologies in Cervical Cancer Screening (ETiCCS) strives to support the fight against cancer in developing countries.
An article in IT online reports that ETiCCS was piloted during a one-year study, which tested 800 women at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya. The program is ongoing and SAP East Africa plans to include the countrywide self-sampling and IoT scenarios, deep learning, pattern recognition, remote diagnostics support and validation into the program. SAP East Africa will collaborate with technology including SAP HANA Cloud Platform, as development continues SAP HANA Cloud allows seamless communication between healthcare providers including those in remote areas and environments with unstable Internet connectivity.
The technology will allow the healthcare screening services to:Keep medical records safely stored in the cloud providing instant access to results. Enabling labs to accelerate the screening process and empower medical staff through improved quality control embedded in the screening process Enforce compliance with data privacy and security requirements, meaning labs can make informed diagnoses regardless of location or regionEnable healthcare professionals to uncover critical patient insights and adapt the solution to other screening processes and field research.
The ETiCCS program has already enabled hundreds of women in Kenya access to screening for cervical cancer.

AI's good at diagnosing skin cancer
Conventionally, skin cancer's primarily diagnosed visually. It starts with a clinical screenings, then, if needed, followed by dermoscopic analyses, a biopsies and histopathological examinations. A team mainly from Stanford University, California, has reported in Nature that mHealth can provide an alternative. It's a technological step up for Africa's mHealth.
Classifying skin lesions using images is challenging, owing to fine-grained variabilities in their appearance. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) offer potential for dealing with fine-grained object categories. The team demonstrates skin lesion classifications using a single CNN, trained end-to-end directly from images using only pixels and disease labels as inputs. Trained CNN used a dataset of 129,450 clinical images and 2,000 skin lesions.
Its performance was tested against 21 dermatologists using proven clinical images from biopsies in two use cases:Keratinocyte carcinomas versus benign seborrheic keratosis, identifying the most common cancersMalignant melanomas versus benign nevi, identifying deadliest skin cancer.
CNN achieved performance in both use cases that matched all tested experts. It shows that the algorithms in Artificial Intelligence (AI) can classify skin cancer as well as dermatologists. Equipped with CNN, mHealth can potentially extend dermatologists' reach beyond their clinics. An impact is lower-cost universal access to vital diagnostic services.
As healthcare researcher teams extend AI across other conditions, it offers Africa's mHealth initiatives a much wider role and impact. It seems that mHealth can have much more to offer.

IHE wants comments on endoscopy
Four aspects of endoscopy can be seen as the instrument, the technique, a diagnostic tool and minimally invasive surgery. It's a very valuable medical technology. Looking inside people is a clever way to avoid cutting them open.
Endoscope's aren't a modern idea. Primed Canada says its inventor identified by most medical historians is Philip Bozzini. In 1805, he used a tube, lichtleiter, a light guiding instrument, he created, to examine urinary tracts. Antoine Jean Desormeaux, a French surgeon renamed it the endoscope. It's claimed that in 1868, Adolph Kussmaul was the first person to use an endoscope to see the inside of a stomach of a living person. In 1878, two doctors, Max Nitze and Josef Leiter, invented an endoscope to inspect the urinary tract and bladder.
None of these men concerned themselves with the informatics or eHealth standards and interoperability of their innovations. Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) does. It's released for consultation two supplements:
Endoscopy Image Archiving (EIA)
Endoscopy Ordering Workflow (EWF).
The IHE Endoscopy Technical Committee wanted comments on these by 18 January 2017. They will now complete the supplements as part of the planned IHE Endoscopy Technical Framework.

eHealth can help Africa's cancer care
Cancers are on the march, but disproportionately affect developing countries. India's using Medic Mobile. It's part of the British Council's Global Innovation Initiative and partnerships with University of Edinburgh, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York and Christian Medical College Vellore, India.
Medic Mobile says more than 60% of world's new annual cancer cases occur in Africa, Asia and Central and South America. They account for 70% of the world's cancer deaths. Cancer's become a serious public health issue in India. It has only eleven health workers for every 10,000 citizens, and rural and urban populations experience vastly different healthcare.
World Health Rankings for all cancers in 2014 show India's death rate as about 70 per 100,000. Africa's average's about 87. Ten African countries have a death rate lower than India's. Gabon's the lowest at about 51. Gambia, Namibia and Niger are all below 60 too. Zimbabwe's the highest at about 210 per 100,000. It's an outlier. Burundi's second highest at about 130. If India sees cancers as a public health priority, Africa's facing challenges too.
Cancers in rural parts of India are rarely diagnosed due to lack of public awareness and healthcare. The delays in diagnoses pose treatment challenges. Leveraging low-cost, low-technology mHealth can improve healthcare access, reduce costs, and strengthen health systems to meet cancer care challenges in remote communities. A study's analysing the impact that the mHealth tools have on cancer outcomes in low-resource settings as health workers and nurses us it to screen high-risk people, refer some of them to facilities for care and follow them up for treatment.
Three sites are Padhar, Vellore and Mungeli. Only Vellore's Rural Unit for Health and Social Affairs (RUHSA) currently has a paper-based early cancer detection system. Padhar and Mungeli have no early cancer screening or detection system and only provide cancer care in facilities. The lack of early detection at these two sites means that many late-stage oral and cervical cancer patients have low chances of successful treatment. The project will train health workers, nurses, dental assistants and project coordinators to use mHealth to screen, record, and refer patients.
Health workers are being trained to identify oral cancer lesions and refer the patients with precancerous lesions to the hospital. The health workers will use mHealth to create a profile for each new patient and generate a unique patient ID. Cervical cancer screening requires a Visual Inspection with Acetic acid (VIA), so nurses will screen women for cervical cancer by visiting community centres in the villages. Women who test VIA positive are counselled by nurses to visit the hospital's gynaecology department where they'll have a second VIA test, and a biopsy if needed, then appropriate medical treatment. Nurses will use mHealth to report on the second test results and treatment confirmation.
This's a simple, effective mHealth model that Africa's health systems can adopt. A small start leading to a steady roll out with adjustments from learning has much to commend it.

Top healthcare solutions in the Innovation Prize for Africa
The African Innovation Foundation (AIF) has announced the top ten nominees for its landmark programme, the Innovation Prize for Africa (IPA). Now celebrating its fifth year under the theme Made in Africa, IPA offers a grand share prize of $150 000 to spur growth and prosperity in Africa through home-grown solutions, an article in IT-Online says.
The IPA has seen considerable growth in applications and increasing interest from both innovators and innovation enablers over the years. IPA 2016 attracted a record of over 3,600 innovators and received 985 successful submissions from 46 African countries. African ingenuity this year showcases new breakthroughs in public health, including malaria, HIV/AIDS and cancer, smart solutions for farmers and dynamic energy initiatives.
AIF will host the IPA 2016: Made in Africa awards ceremony on 22 and 23 June 2016 in Gaborone, Botswana. Collaborating partners include the Ministry of Infrastructure, Science and Technology (MIST), and the Botswana Innovation Hub (BIH).
The healthcare solutions in the top 10 IPA 2016 nominees include:
Urine Test for Malaria (UMT)
Dr Eddy Agbo from Nigeria developed the UMT, a rapid non-blood diagnostic medical device that can diagnose malaria in less than 25 minutes. Africa has the highest number of malaria cases worldwide. The inability to quickly diagnose and commence malaria treatment can lead to various complications including kidney failure, build-up of lung fluid, aplastic anaemia and even death. UMT uses a dip-stick to get accurate results within half an hour. The technology detects malaria parasite proteins in urine of patients with fever due to malaria. UMT'is simple and affordable, and a potential game changer in managing malaria across Africa.
Valentin Agon from Benin also developed a solution to curb the spread of malaria. Api-Palu is an anti-malaria drug treatment developed out of natural plant extract. It is significantly cheaper than available anti-malarial drugs, and has great inhibitory effects on 3D7 strains of plasmodium falciparum the causative agent of malaria. According to the WHO, Sub-Saharan Africa is home to 88% of malaria cases and 90% of malaria deaths reported globally with some African governments spending up to 40% of their public health budgets on malaria treatment. Api-Palu manifests as a fast rate of malaria parasite clearance from the blood following short term treatment, with relatively lower doses. It is available in tablets, capsules or syrup. The drug has been approved in Benin, Burkina Faso, Tchad, and Central Africa Republic because of its therapeutic and non-toxic effects.
Dr Imogen Wright, South Africa, solution addresses a different healthcare issue facing many African countries, HIV/AIDS. Exatype's a software solution that enables healthcare workers to determine HIV positive patients' responsiveness to Antiretroviral Drugs (ARV) drug treatment. According to WHO, 71% of people living with HIV/AIDS reside in Africa.
A growing number of people on ARVs are resistant to drug regimens, leading to treatment failure, further exacerbating the continent's HIV/AIDS burden. Exatype processes the highly complex data produced by the advanced next generation of DNA sequencing of HIV DNA in patients' blood. A simple report detects drugs resistant to patients, then highlights the need to avoid these to ensure successful treatment. Exatype has the potential to contribute towards effectively managing HIV/AIDS in Africa, and also holds promise in helping detect drug resistance for other disease burdens such as Tuberculosis (TB) and malaria.
Dr Kit Vaughan, also from South Africa, created an imaging technology, capable of performing full-field digital mammography and automated breast ultrasound at the same time, dramatically improving breast cancer detection. Annually, there are more than half a million cancer deaths in Africa and these numbers are expected to double in the next three decades. If diagnosed early enough, the chances of treating the cancer successfully increases dramatically. However, because 40% of women have dense tissue, their cancers cannot be seen on X-ray. Furthermore, a false negative finding can have devastating consequences. Aceso is a single device that can acquire dual-modality images, full-field digital mammography and automated breast ultrasound at the same time. This world first system's protected by international patents and has been successfully tested in two separate clinical trials with 120 women.
Having four healthcare solutions emerging from the top ten Innovative solutions across the different sectors is very encouraging. All four address critical healthcare issues facing African health systems and have the potential to have a real impact and save lives across the continent.

The European Tour gets back on schedule after a week off from regular, stroke-play golf. Last week was the debut of the Golf Sixes, a wonky team event that was won by Team Denmark (Thorbjorn Olesen and Lucas Bjerregaard).
For this week's European Tour preview, we're at the Open de Portugal, not to be confused with the end-of-year Portugal Masters. Likewise, we don't have a field full of "masters", but rather young guns trying to make their names on Tour. This is a co-sanctioned event between the European Tour and its Challenge Tour, so there aren't too many familiar names in the field. Some guys that might be popular, just based on name value, are Paul Lawrie, Alviro Quiros, and Robert Rock. This year's event will be played at a new venue: Morgado Golf Resort. Morgado measures around 7,400 yards, and seems to be open off-the-tee. This doesn't tell us too much, other than wedge play (on the par-5s) and driving distance will be critical. I'm going to lean heavily on birdie-makers this week, and give a little boost to Portuguese (and Spanish) players back on home soil. There aren't too many known commodities in the field, so try to limit yourself to players who have a bit of pedigree.
Key Stats:
- Greens in Regulation %
- Birdie or Better %
- Scoring Average
- Driving Distance
Let's look at my favorite plays this week:
The Favourites:
Ricardo Gouveia ($11,600) – Gouveia burst onto the scene last season with several top-10 finishes, and flashed the kind of game you need to win on the main Tour. He played very well in the Golf Sixes last week with partner Jose-Felipe Lima, so I'm confident that form will carry over onto home soil this week. He's mentioned that he's played his course many times, so that's a factor this week. He played very well in last year's Portugal Masters, where he mentioned how enjoyable it was to play in front of the home galleries.
Trevor Fisher Jr. ($11,200) – Fisher has made his last six cuts on Tour, including 8th and 2nd place finishes in his past two starts. He's a bit of a boom-or-bust candidate, so he's a little worrisome as the field's betting favorite. But the South African has been knocking on the door recently, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him breakthrough this week in Portugal. He shot a 2nd round 63 at last year's Portugal Masters, which is a good sign for his comfort here.
Paul Lawrie ($10,100) – Lawrie is one of the known commodities in this field, and a savvy veteran. He's been struggling recently, but broke through with a win on the Sunshine Tour in his last start. Lawrie finished 3rd at last year's Portugal Masters, so there should be some positive memories returning to the country.
Aaron Rai ($9,900) – The young Englishman broke through with a victory in Kenya a couple of months ago, and has shown his pedigree. He's a highly-touted player who could be the next in line to break through on the main Tour. He's a dynamic birdie-maker who looks to make his mark on Tour in this weak field.
Jens Fahrbring ($8,200) – Fahrbring finished 12th at last year's Portugal Masters, including opening rounds of 65 and 64. He's shown a propensity for shooting low rounds and making birdies, so he's exactly the type of player to target this week. The Swede comes into this week's event in solid form, having posted back-to-back 13th place finishes in his past two starts.
Jaco Ahlers ($8,100) – Ahlers is a bomber who hails from South Africa, and a player who we target when the Tour was playing in his home country. He didn't disappoint, so I'll stay on board. Ahlers is a birdie-maker (and eagle-maker) who should rack up DraftKings points this week. He's made eight of his past nine cuts worldwide, including two top-10 finishes.
Erik van Rooyen ($7,600) – Van Rooyen is another South African who we targeted on the home swing, but I'm willing to stay on his game here in Portugal. He isn't the longest hitter, but that won't hurt this week. He is always near the top of the field in greens in regulation, which is a huge pointer at any new course we play. He posted a top-10 in his last start, and won earlier this year in South Africa.
Laurie Canter ($7,400) – Canter advanced through European Tour Q-School not once, but twice. He's got the fortitude to grind on the main Tour, and he flashed some really strong form to start 2017. He posted a string of 14th, 8th, and 16th place finishes to gain some valuable Race to Dubai points this season. He also finished 34th in his last start in Morocco, so he's learning how to travel with his game around the globe. He fits the mold of what I'm targeting this week, as long as his putter is on point.
Jose-Felipe Lima ($7,200) – The other half of Portugal's Golf Sixes team, Lima has had success on the main Tour in the past. He's struggled with recent form the past couple of months, but he should benefit from home cooking this week. He played well last week with Gouveia as his partner, advancing past the knockout round. When most of the field is full of unknowns, Lima is one of those known commodities to target this week.
Richard Green ($6,700) – Another known commodity this week, Green is a savvy left-handed veteran from Australia. He randomly wins an event every few years, and seems to post just enough top-10 finishes to keep his status on the main Tour. Green is a great putter, which keeps him in the mix when his long game is struggling. He's missed his past few cuts, but had shown some really strong form earlier this season.
Good luck this week!

DFS Big Game Profiles: Wide Receiver
Having access to the entire player pool in DFS means that on any given day a player can theoretically pick a perfect lineup. In practice, though, that virtually never happens, even in massive field tournaments. The most likely scenario is that the top player in a large field might have one or two players that finished tops at their position, with a roster of other players that performed very well, but not number one overall.
Because it's virtually impossible to peg the top player at each position in a given week, a useful exercise is to build a profile for top players at each position and look for commonalities among those top performers, hopefully giving us a better idea of which stats are really important to target and which ones might be common traps to avoid.
Big game profiles for quarterbacks can be found here, and running backs here.
Defining A Top Daily Fantasy Wide Receiver
Over the last three seasons, rostering at least a pair of top-eight wide receivers has usually been sufficient to stay in contention in even the largest field tournaments on both FanDuel and DraftKings. For this study, I took the average weekly top-eight WR score from 2015 (24.8 FD points and 31.2 DK points), then went back three seasons and pulled all WRs who met those point thresholds. This threshold methodology provided a large sample (173 FD WRs, 176 DK WRs) and eliminated any players that might have scored as a top wide receiver on an unusually low scoring week.
Average Stat Line of Top-Six FanDuel Wide Receiver
|Implied Pts
Home Team: 54.9% 100+ Rec Yards: 89.0%
Winning Team: 61.3% 125+ Rec yards: 67.1%
Vegas Favorite: 56.7% 7+ Receptions : 74.6%
O/U 46+: 52.0% 8+ Receptions: 61.3%
Implied Total 24+: 49.1% 2+ TD: 66.5%
Opp. aFPA 17+: 57.8%
Average Stat Line of Top-Six DraftKings Wide Receiver
|Implied Pts
Home Team: 51.7% 100+ Rec Yards: 94.3%
Winning Team: 59.7% 125+ Rec yards: 72.7%
Vegas Favorite: 57.4% 7+ Receptions : 81.3%
O/U 46+: 51.1% 8+ Receptions: 68.8%
Implied Total 24+: 47.7% 2+ TD: 58.5%
Opp. aFPA 17+: 59.1%
How to Choose a Wide Receiver in DFS That Will Have a Big Game
Being able to identify a wide receiver on the winning team has been somewhat significant when searching for big game players in recent years, while home/away splits and Vegas lines offered little insight as to when a receiver might have a huge fantasy day. Implied point total, which is often referenced when discussing possible big games, may actually be a stat that owners want to ignore altogether when targeting receivers, as the majority of big games came from WRs on teams projected to have a low team total (below 24 points).
It's not surprising that matchup wasn't terribly important when looking for big-game receivers -- less than 60 percent of top games came against defenses that finished in the bottom half of the league in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Most dominant receivers can fill up the stat sheet in unfavorable situations against even the best competition.
Catches, yards, and touchdowns are obviously the drivers in big games for wide outs, but the subtle differences between hit rates for each stat highlight the scoring differences between FanDuel and DraftKings and illustrate why a slightly different approach should be taken on each site when rostering the position in large-field tournaments.
On DraftKings, the presence of the 100-yard bonus and full point-per-reception scoring somewhat mitigates the importance of multi-touchdown games, whereas getting into the end zone more than once carries more weight for top scoring receivers on FanDuel. Keep in mind that targeting volume is much more reliable than searching for the two-touchdown game.
In 2015, there were 138 instances of a receiver catching eight or more balls, but just 52 individual receivers made up those games. A receiver scored twice in a game 71 times last season, but 47 different players made up that group. In other words, it's very hard for a wide receiver to have a multi-touchdown game more than once, but they can replicate their volume fairly consistently.
Noting these subtle differences suggests that, when deciding between similarly valued players, owners should favor heavily-targeted, high volume plays on DK, while red zone usage is going to be especially important on FanDuel.
Recapping How to Identify Wide Receivers That Have Big Games in DFS
- Finding a wide receiver on the winning team is important in large-field tournaments, but not to the extent of other skill positions.
- High projected point totals have not proven to be predictive of top-scoring wide receivers. It might even be best to ignore point totals when looking for a big-game receiver.
- In general, matchup shouldn't be an overwhelming factor in picking wide receivers in large-field DFS contests.
- Volume is important on both FanDuel and DraftKings, but to varying degrees -- DraftKings scoring lends itself to catch volume slightly more than FanDuel scoring, while we should consider touchdown upside more on FanDuel.

Outpatient Admissions at New Beginnings Minnesota
Getting help for you or a loved one starts with a simple phone call. Call or e-mail one of our seven locations to ask questions and determine eligibility.
Don't be overwhelmed.
There are many drug and alcohol treatment options and locations available through New Beginnings Minnesota. Our staff will gather information on your needs and help you navigate the process – including assessments, referrals and obtaining approval from insurance or public funding.
We can often assist clients with entering substance abuse treatment from a hospital or detox facility. Contact us today to learn more.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What kind of treatment do I need?
There are many types of treatment options available, from outpatient and day programs to residential care. The best way to see what you need is to have a chemical use assessment done by a professional. They can assist you in making the right choice and provide you with referrals.
2. Can you make someone get treatment if they don't want it?
We don't keep clients against their will. The only way to require someone to get treatment is through a legal process called a commitment. However, if you know someone who needs help, but is resisting, feel free to contact our admissions staff about other options such as an intervention. We provide education and referrals on the intervention process, and can work with families and professionals to help clients see the benefits of treatment.
3. What is the success rate for treatment?
"If you follow the program and recommendations 100%, you will be 100% successful." – Nina Johnson, former New Beginnings Minnesota Treatment Director
Success can be defined many different ways, but the reality is that drug treatment outcomes depend mostly on the clients themselves. Treatment provides safety and stability, teaches relapse prevention skills and builds sober networks. But using the tools provided is always an individual choice. By helping people build the skills and motivation to recover, we can give them every hope for a new beginning.
4. How much does treatment cost?
The cost of getting treatment varies greatly depending on the type of care that is needed. Health insurance often includes coverage for chemical dependency treatment, which can help reduce costs. Minnesota residents may also apply for financial help through their local county, commonly called Rule 25 assistance. This must be done before entering treatment, as the county will help you determine your eligibility, and then will help place you in an appropriate program.
5. Can my family visit and be involved?
Family and loved ones are an important part of the treatment process for patients, and their involvement is encouraged at New Beginnings Minnesota. We offer education and therapy at all levels of care. Click here to find a site near you and call for details.

Sage on the stage or guide on the side?
An interesting Edudemic article on flipped online learning that states,
"In short, flipped online learning would involve a larger focus on the student producing the learning materials and having an online instructor be more of a 'guide on the side' as it were. Rather than watching videos and taking a quiz, you'd have a robust discussion, have students create projects to share with classmates, and generate more discussion out of that."

Observe what colors your child is familiar with when they watch the characters as they meet them on a cartoon. Please note that the kid paints his favorite characters accurately and thoroughly.
Buying coloring for children, look for task-coloring, in which you need something painted in a specific color, something to finish, something to paste, draw a line through the maze, etc.

Ok, I'm going to cheat and answer my own question first. I'm sick at home with a sinus infection so I have the Food Network on. I just saw whoever it is that makes things with 5 ingredients or less (I don't watch all the time), but she had a really great idea for a dessert. It's too bad I can't eat it- I'm allergic to one of the ingredients. (so I reserve the right to post another one or two later on [you can do this too!])
Dried Banana Chips with Peanut Butter and Chocolate Syrup
I think the ingredients are pretty self-explanatory. Most likely unless you have a food dehydrator (I used to), you'd buy your banana chips in a health food store (because you wouldn't want them to be preserved with sulfates/sulfites [especially if you're asthmatic]). But seriously, while I'm not a wheatgrass chugging vegan, you really want to avoid unnecessary chemicals in your food when you can. I'd also recommend a good quality organic peanut butter-maybe a crunchy kind for this, if you like that (it's a personal preference), and for syrup, maybe either Ahlaska or good ol' Hershey's.
Put the banana chips on a plate. Smear the peanut butter as thinly or thickly as desired and then take a butter knife or a spoon and either smear or drizzle the chocolate syrup to give just a taste of chocolate to contrast with your peanut butter. These were meant to be eaten open face, but I guess if you want to make a sandwich and put another banana slice on top, I'm not going to be looking over your shoulder. Like I said, I can't eat them anyway-I'm allergic to bananas...;)
Refrigerate for 2-3 hours. I know you'll taste the first one you make anyway. Hope you enjoy. t least I may have done something productive while I'm sick in bed. Maybe there'll be a recipe I can actually eat coming up...;)
Bon appetit!

Exfoliate and moisturise your face. You don't need to buy anything too fancy, you can use something very simple like a mix of olive oil and sugar gently massaged over the skin. If you happen to be troubled by spots, don't worry. Try your best to leave it well alone. A big red spot is surprisingly easy for me to get rid of with photoshop, a big sore mess not so.
Brush lips with a dry toothbrush and smother on a lip butter or 8 hour cream. Dry lips are difficult to fix after I have photographed you, so you will need to look after them to prepare. This is especially the case during the winter.
Thoroughly clean and shape fingernails. Cleanliness is next to godliness.
Avoid drinking any alcohol, it leaves the face puffy. If you are having some trouble sleeping - see tip 8.
Drink plenty of water. If anything, a photo shoot is thirsty work and you'll need to be hydrated. Also, bring some with you.
Lay out your wardrobe, with shoes and accessories. Make sure it is all clean and ironed. If you are wearing a shirt, I recommend investing in some starch spray when you are ironing. It instantly gives a really crisp sharp look.
Charge your phone and make sure my contact information is stored (07850 639 214). Ensure you have a map and/or directions to the shoot location. Check TFL for any surprise engineering works. No one likes a rail replacement bus service.
Finally, get a good night sleep - if you are having trouble winding down, I find it helpful to meditate. Calm that monkey mind! This is an easy and effective meditation.
Hopefully these tips will make you feel more ready for your photo shoot. Ultimately it's going to be a fun experience, so try to put worrying thoughts to the back of your mind and let excitement take over!
Here's a selection of my latest work and some top tips. It's a bit of a mixed bag, so you can filter out what you want to see here:

Ever since the BJP government took charge, there has been confusion as to what the new governments stand on
Indo-Pak trade is. An invitation to
Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif, along with other South Asian leaders, to attend Narendra Modis swearing-in ceremony set the expectations soaring. However, the subsequent cross-border firing in the last few weeks drew strong statements from the leadership stating that Pakistan is engaging in the proxy war of terrorism. This was followed by the announcement of the cancellation of Foreign Secretary level talks scheduled on August 25 at Islamabad in which it was hoped that that the dialogue on India-Pakistan trade would resume. Many analysts felt that the link between trade and politics had been re-established.
With the Alishan Pakistan exhibition and the successful conclusion of the gas pipeline talks there seems to be a clear message from the Indian government that it intends to normalise trade ties with Pakistan.
The four-day long Alishan Pakistan had over 150 exhibitors displaying a vast array of Pakistani fashion, textiles, jewellery, accessories, furniture, marbles and agro products. The exhibition is an exemplary initiative on the part of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) and the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) to build on the success of the first exhibition held in 2012. These exhibitions offer a platform to businessmen in India to interact with Pakistani counterparts and establish business partnerships. The rush witnessed at Pragati Maidan in Delhi, the venue of the exhibition, is indicative of the enormous trade interest.
The exhibition was organised successfully despite strong opposition by several right-wing groups. Days before the exhibition, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) sent a memorandum to the Prime Minister, Lieutenant Governor, Police Commissioner, Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Home Affairs demanding the cancellation of the event. The government stood firm and ensured that the exhibition took place. On the first day of the exhibition, massive protests were staged outside Pragati Maidan demanding that the event be called off. As a response, the government beefed up the security arrangements outside the venue and utmost care was taken so that the event was not disrupted.
The agreement on the fixing of gas price between the state-run gas utility Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) and Pakistan's Inter State Gas Systems (ISGS) is a major breakthrough two year long negotiating process came to a successful ending. During the commerce secretary-level talks in September 2012, India expressed its willingness to export gas to Pakistan. The proposal was to supply 5 million metric standard cubic metres a day (mmscmd) of lean gas to Pakistan for a period of five years. Under this proposal, GAIL would lay 110-km-long pipeline, from Jalandhar to the Amritsar-Attari border. Technical working groups were set up to discuss and finalise the modalities of this trade and finally the technical feasibility of laying the gas line up to Lahore was drawn out after five rounds of negotiations between both sides. The only negotiations that remained unsettled were related to the price at which Pakistan would purchase gas from India.
Now, both sides have agreed on the export price for gas. The talks between the two state authorities were held without any official announcement. To add to this, India's FY15 budget clearly mentions exemptions from basic customs duty being granted on re-gasified LNG (liquefied natural gas) for supply to Pakistan. This would be an added advantage and make the energy trade more lucrative. With energy demand rising and power crises in Pakistan, energy trade could be a game changer in India-Pak trade and economic relations.
Interestingly, in the sphere of India and Pakistan relations, commercial decisions are preceding the dialogue process. On one hand while the trade dialogue is yet to resume, state enterprises and business bodies of the two countries have joined hands to make a major breakthrough in trade relations. This has been made possible in the backdrop of the new political equation between the leaders of the two countries. The stage is set for a new paradigm where silent messages are more powerful than loud statements.

Building a Culture of Peace
Begins with Children
Foreword by Jim McGinnis
At the dawning of a new millennium, in the first year of the United Nations' "International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World," and in the midst of Jubilee 2000, the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program has created a unique resource for nurturing a culture of peace and nonviolence. This new peacemaking curriculum offers all of us -- educators, pastors, parents -- a positive way of responding to Jesus' timeless plea: If only you knew the things that make for peace...(Luke 19:41-42).
This curriculum for children and families provides a creative way of teaching and internalizing some of the "things that make for peace." Organized around the components of the Pledge of Nonviolence developed by the Institute for Peace and Justice, this curriculum addresses powerful cultural forces, such as violence and consumerism, that make it difficult to learn and live "the things that make for peace." It builds on the increasing cultural diversity in our society and encourages us all to become instruments in turning our de facto diversity into God's "beloved community." This peacemaking resource is truly one of God's "Jubilee treasures" to use throughout this International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence.
Session 1 -- Peacemaking Defined: Love Your Neighbor As Yourself
Session 2 -- Getting Along with Neighbors: Guidelines for Dealing with Conflict
Session 3 -- Healing Hurts between Neighbors: Forgiveness
Session 4 -- Taking Care of the Neighborhood
Session 5 -- Creative Play in the Neighborhood
Session 6 -- Celebrating Our Differences and Standing with Neighbors, Near and Far
Rosemary Banta is a Certified Christian Educator and a graduate of what is now Union Theological Seminary and Presbyterian School of Christian Education.
Donna Miller is Associate for Resources and Program Development with the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program.

She was anticipating that she might be in our shoes soon and wondered what it was really like.
Well, I can say YES, we feel fortunate to say that our lives have been extremely fulfilling. I don't take that for granted for a minute, though. I had always dreamed of feeling this someday – and it's a dream come true to have felt it.
So where has this fulfillment come from?
Well, the two of us tapped into a passion to bring hope to others and that moves us, motivates us, and keeps us going each day.
I think it's important to feel a passion for something! Otherwise, I can see that life might begin to feel unfulfilling, no matter what your situation.
Before I started the blog, I remember once sitting at a desk job that was not meaningful to me – and at the same time it was becoming clear that my efforts to have children were not looking promising – and I began to really question the meaning of my life. Like, who would care when I died? Would I just disappear? I would have no one to leave my legacy with. In a way, this desire felt almost like an innate instinct – this desire to somehow leave a mark or leave the world a better place. I also had truths in me that I had learned from my life experiences. They were a gift. And I always felt they were meant to be shared as it was such a miracle to me to receive them. If I didn't share them, they would one day be gone. And yet, there I was sitting at that desk job. And the vastness of the unknown years ahead of me put the fear in me. I didn't yet know how I was going to do it. I didn't know how I was going to be able to live a meaningful life. So I would sit in my living room with Danny and brainstorm what that life might look like.
And then one day, I got pneumonia.
I didn't think I was going to die or anything, but I was so physically weak that I saw the end of my life. I felt the grace of every breathing day that I had. And I felt an urgency to share my truths; the best of what I had been blessed with in this life. And so, I began writing my first blog posts. I could barely keep my head up. But my thoughts were like a faucet and the ideas kept coming, so I kept writing.
And that was the beginning of my blog.
That was the beginning of my meaningful work.
What I can recommend to you is this:
Believe that you can have a fulfilling life if you don't have children OR if you do. Rest easy. And believe with all your heart that the way will become clear. Believe that you WILL tap into a passion (or several). Allow some space and time for that to unfold. Don't doubt it. It is in you. Trust this! And believe that you'll have the creativity and energy to fuel this work, whatever it is. The work itself will fuel you.
And also, as you think of this fulfilling life unfolding, consider if you feel more full of light or more full of a heavy, fearful, doubtful weight. Because light is what will shine on our foot path and make our future feel bright and possible. Fear and doubt will sabotage the unveiling of our life's work. Because we might have mud on our windshield and we can't see beyond what is right in front of us. We might be in survival mode. We might feel like victims to our current situation. We might have voices in our head that say we're not good enough. We might not trust that a path will open up. And all of that weighs us down completely and drains our energy.
So, regularly clear out any fearful, untrusting, doubtful energy as it arises. Do this every day. I do it through music, meditation, yoga, walking, and most importantly: re-writing my beliefs. I rewrite that script in my head until those old beliefs are pushed out. And this helps me to feel full of light and hope again for my future.
I hope I can feel this for the rest of my days.
I'll be doing my best.
(Photos from our visit to Utah. We saw some moose while on a hike! And we got to experience the glorious beginning of Fall!)
P.S. Love Mentoring will be on hold until Oct. 19! We'll be at our beloved Body+Soul Camp next week and will be going on a little adventure after that to Cotopaxi National Park. We love you! And we look forward to chatting with any of you who are looking to transform your life.

First of all, welcome to The Filthy Kitchen. I'm so excited you're here!
Do you ever have those days or weeks where everything is just not very great? You're burnt out and cranky, and can't figure out where you left your positive outlook on life? I started this blog because baking is what helps me through those days and weeks (even when they turn into months). Oh, and Nutella. Nutella solves everything. Enter, our recipe of the week:
The fist time I made these cookies was an attempt at cheering up my boyfriend and roommates in the middle of a hard Chicago winter and a grueling semester at school. This week I made them to cheer myself up. I got the original recipe from Ambitious Kitchen and tweaked it so my vegan and gluten free friends could get in on the love.
Here are my Magical Hazelnut Make-It-Better Cookies:
To Make this recipe gluten free, I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour. It's really versatile, easy to work with, and a lot easier and cheaper than trying to come up with my own mixture of alternative flours.
To make these cookies vegan, I used Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut butter. It's vegan and gluten free, whereas Nutella contains milk. I also had to replace the egg in the original recipe. PETA and veganbaking.net have some really great cheat sheets and tips for substituting dairy products in baked goods. I chose to use the ground flaxseed and water method.
1 cup vegan hazelnut spread
1/2 cup gluten free all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp ground flaxseed (I used Bob's Red Mill for this, too)
3 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp brown sugar
Sea salt
Combine the flaxseed meal with water and stir until the mixture becomes gelatinous. I find it works well to allow the mixture to sit for a couple of 30-45 second intervals in between stirring.
Combine flaxseed mixture, brown sugar, and hazelnut spread in a mixing bowl and beat until all the ingredients are combined.
Slowly add the flour and mix until the dough begins to cling together. It'll look something like this:
Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 while dough is chilling.
Roll dough into small 1″ balls and place on a greased cookie sheet. I like to salt these puppies before and after they go into the oven but that's more a matter of personal preference.
Bake for 10 minutes, then press with a fork and continue to bake for another 5-7 minutes. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Generously sprinkle some sea salt on the cookies, and let cool for another 10minutes or so and then you're ready to find your bliss!
These cookies are nice and crispy on the outside but super fudgy in the inside. You can make them a little bigger as well but I like this size for dunking.
I've also made a batch of these that are thinner and crispier and go great with tea or ice cream. To achieve this, use about 2 Tbsp less flour and skip refrigeration. Depending on the time of year though (or whether or not you have air conditioning), you might want to freeze the dough for 10 minutes before baking. Spoon the dough onto the cookie sheet (it'll be stickier and a little more difficult to roll into balls). Then just bake at 350 for ten minutes and let them cool on a wire rack. They'll come out looking a little like this:
I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. Hit me up with any questions or comments.
Happy Baking!!!

Within the conference "A Soul for Europe 2017" the initiative "Cities for Europe" organized one part of the program in which they examined the question by what actions cities are able to enhance Europe's strength. The following issues were discussed: How are different political levels – locally, nationally, continentally – dealing with their responsibility for Europe? What contributions are citizens able to make and how could one activate them to participate?The conference started with an opening statement from Juan Gabriel Vásquez (Author) and Karl-Heinz Lambertz (President of the Committee of the Regions), showcasing the discrepancy from an artistic and cultural point with a political view. Juan Gabriel Vásquez made an appeal to use social media as an instrument to shape Europe's narrative, whereas Karl-Heinz Lambertz focused on the mutual benefit of cities and regions and the European Union: As the EU has an impact on cities and regions, so should the cities and regions have an influence on the EU.
Following the keynotes, an open debate on the topic "How can cities and citizens strengthen Europe?" took place which led to a discussion between members of the civil society (Urzula Bertin, Pulse of Europe), local politicians (Michael Cramer, MdEP), Karl-Heinz Lambertz (Committee of the Regions) and cultural representatives (Søren Schumann, rbb/arte). This talk was moderated by speakers of the initiative Brigitte Russ-Scherer (former Mayor of Tübingen) and Hella Dunger-Löper (former State Secretary for European Affairs, City of Berlin).
Beside the dialogue between politic, culture and civil society on a local and on a European level was another main focus the presentation and exchange of best-practice strategies for projects on a European level. "Marketplace Europe" was an exhibition on partition walls of 33 successful projects and approaches from different European cities and municipalities. These projects were given the opportunity to show their approaches, goals and achievement on posters and as films on one of four visual display units. Project representatives informed in one-to-one conversations about their projects. The participants used this opportunity, to exchange ideas and information about their work.

WASHINGTON -- Nearly 1.1 million federal workers in sensitive jobs could be tested for drug abuse under guidelines that order bathroom monitors, blue dye in toilets and urine temperature checks, the government said on Thursday.
The regulations were immediately labeled by the head of a government workers` union as ``a comic exercise in Ty-D-bol justice.``
The tests, ordered by President Reagan last fall during his anti-drug campaign, will check primarily for marijuana and cocaine use. Dismissal could come if a worker refuses to undergo the examination or tests positive after treatment.
The anti-cheating guidelines were unveiled by Attorney General Edwin Meese, Health Secretary Otis Bowen, Constance Horner, director of the Office of Personnel Management, and Dr. Donald Macdonald of the Alcohol Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration.
``These guidelines provide the greatest possible privacy for the individual, consistency in testing procedures, security for specimens and accuracy in test results,`` Bowen said. ``Our goal is to deter illegal drug use and to help employees who have a drug problem find counseling and rehabilitation.``
Under the guidelines, monitors will be put in restrooms where urine samples are given but will stay outside the toilet stalls. Toilets in the stalls will be filled with blue water and the temperature of the samples will be taken within four minutes to ensure their accuracy.
``At the collection site, toilet-bluing agents shall be placed in the toilet tanks so the reservoir of water in the toilet bowl remains blue,`` the guidelines say. This is designed to keep test subjects from submitting water from the bowl as their urine samples.
Almost immediately, critics fired back with charges the guidelines infringe on personal privacy and impose ``Tidy-Bowl justice.``
Elizabeth Symonds of the American Civil Liberties Union, said, ``The ACLU believes it is clearly impermissible and a violation of the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.``

"They will not hunger or thirst,
Nor will the scorching heat or sun strike them down;
For He who has compassion on them will lead them,
And He will guide them to springs of water." Isaiah 49:10
IN THE MOMENT // Elvin Kristian
"When you serve Jesus, you serve a plan that will never change." Ps Josh Kelsey
Every single day is an adventure waiting to happen. Kairos moments where God meets us and changes us are already concealed in our every day walk. We get to partake in experiences that, like a current, lead us in ways that we've never dreamed.
The past and worries of the day often stop us in our tracks or rush us to places we don't need or want to be in. God doesn't just want to change our outward circumstances, but He puts the resurrection power inside of us. The same power that lifted Lazarus out of the grave after he was declared dead (John 11) brings life in to a crushed and pain-filled heart. The same power that put the stars in place is putting our lives in place with God's plan.
At times we become too tolerant with the issues that hurt—that inner groan we never speak about, that very thing that we are afraid of, the shame that we are too afraid to expose. While opening the tomb of our hearts might be the hardest decision of our lives, leaving us vulnerable and defenseless, the beauty of it is that God always shelters us with His presence, in His unchanging love.
It may seem insignificant in what you are doing right now, but authority is released to those that wash the feet of others. The people who start with joy are the game changers of our time, shifting the focus from themselves to those who are in need.
Joy is contagious. God is doing great things in His local church. Jesus dreamed about the local church. And serving Jesus in our own neighborhood not only releases our hearts from tensions of this world, but it leaves a mark on the people that we are in contact with.
Friend, there are kairos moments just waiting to happen on every corner of your road. God is the same yesterday, today and forever—and He will not leave you but lead you home.
"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies." Mother Teresa
"Kid, you'll move mountains!" Dr. Seuss
