Treating Lyme disease is like a trilogy. In a three-pronged approach to get better you have to incorporate 1) antibiotics (or a herbal protocol) 2) supplementation and detoxification (preferably coordinated with a naturopath) and diet.
Today, I'm focusing on the Lyme diet.
At a recent York North Lyme Support group meeting in Markham, Kevin Sherriff was the guest speaker. He was there to talk about Lyme Savers – a foundation he started to raise money to provide bursaries to those with Lyme disease that either can't afford treatment or are financially strapped by the burden of paying for treatment.
After the discussion, Kevin briefly talked about his own journey with Lyme disease and told the audience that he has been extremely strict with the Lyme diet. After two years in treatment, he still avoids sugar and yeast and sticks to the Lyme diet religiously. He went on to say that he follows a Paleo diet and has used many of the recipes in Practical Paleo by Diane Sanfilippo.
Paleo is a way of eating that harkens back to just the basics: protein – such as beef, chicken and fish, fruits and vegetables and nuts and seeds. One thing to keep in mind when using recipes from Paleo sites or books is that they are NOT written with the Lyme diet in mind, so they may not be conducive to all foods we should ideally avoid eating. You may find instances where recipes may include sugar or white vinegar etc.
Early in my own Lyme treatment, I used recipes from a book called Make it Paleo by Bill Staley and Hayley Mason. They've since written two other books and a selection of their recipes can be found at: http://www.primalpalate.com/paleo-recipes/#
I went to Diane Sanfilippo's site and found a section of Paleo recipes divided into categories: breakfast & eggs, beef/pork/lamb, poultry, fish, soups and salad, sides, snacks, desserts, nut-free desserts, and sauces/dressings & basics. Here is the link to Diane's recipes: http://balancedbites.com/recipes
Take Paleo recipes with a 'grain of salt' and recognize that you will need to adapt many of them and/or avoid some of them altogether. As an alternative to Paleo, you can also check out the recipes on my site which are already Lyme-friendly. I started 'Squeeze of Lyme' for Lyme sufferers, like myself, who struggle with the Lyme diet.
The goal of the Lyme diet is to avoid any food that might cause inflammation. Your body is busy enough trying to fight off infection – it doesn't need the added stress of fighting off inflammation from the food you put into it. But it's a hard and very restrictive diet to follow – especially the gluten free aspects.
Ironically, when I was first diagnosed with Lyme disease, gluten free eating was the easiest for me because my husband was diagnosed with Celiac disease six years ago; our household has been gluten-free ever since. What started out as a complete elimination of gluten, so I wouldn't cross-contaminate my husband, turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The following link is a great reference for hidden sources of gluten: http://www.balancedbites.com/PDFs/BalancedBites_Gluten.pdf and if you have any further questions about gluten-free living, feel free to ask; I've learned a lot over the past six years!
The recipes on Squeeze of Lyme are already adapted to follow the 'rules' of the Lyme diet (in any cases where there are exceptions to the 'rules', I always note them in the recipe). Here's a brief list of those rules:
- No gluten. Gluten can be hidden in places you would never expect. For instance: nuts (sometimes wheat is used to coat them to prevent sticking), prescription medication/supplements, caramel colour, soy sauce, spices, pasta sauces etc. Always try to purchase products that are marked 'gluten free' and manufactured in a dedicated facility. See the link above for hidden sources of gluten to watch for.
- No yeast (eliminate commercially baked breads and mushrooms).
- No sugar. The only acceptable substitute. according to my LLMD, is stevia which is a natural product.
- No caffeine. Even decaf coffee can cause inflammation from the process used to decaffeinate the beans. I use an herbal coffee substitute called 'Dandy Blend' made with Dandelion (http://www.dandyblend.com/about.asp).
- No vinegar. Foods that contain vinegar include vanilla extract, olives, ketchup, mustard, salad dressings, BBQ sauces etc. The only exception is apple cider vinegar made with the Mother.
- No alcohol.
- No genetically modified (GMO) products (i.e. corn).
- No dairy – with the exception of goat milk products.
- No fermented products (i.e. soy sauce, tofu).
- No dried fruits.
- No white potatoes, corn, white rice.
- No peanuts.
In addition to avoiding foods from the list above, its prudent for Lyme sufferers to buy organic produce, where possible. Pesticides are just another source of inflammation that's important to avoid. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) posts and updates their 'Dirty Dozen Plus' and 'Clean Fifteen' lists so consumers are aware of what produce is safe and what should be avoided. You can link directly to their lists here: http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/
For recipes I've developed for the Lyme diet at various stages of my illness, refer to the home page where categories are organized as follows:
I would welcome any original Lyme diet recipes that you'd like to share with other Lymies, so please send them my way 🙂 I'll test them out and post them with full credit.

WATCH: Boy, 9, loses to dad at FIFA – and really isn't happy about it
A NINE-YEAR-OLD boy burst into floods of tears after losing to his dad at FIFA.
Alfie Lee was so upset after his Spurs team were denied a late penalty against arch-rivals Arsenal that he stormed upstairs to mum Izzy, 27.
Alfie had been allowed to be Spurs on the condition that he was NOT ALLOWED to lose to the Gunners.
After the defeat, he sobbed to mum about how unfair it had been, and she recorded the hilarious reaction on her mobile phone.
Sobbing Alfie, wearing his school uniform, says: "He flipped me over. The goalie flipped my player over and injured him. That's a flipping penalty.
"The goalie flipped my player over and injured him. That's a flipping penalty"Alfie Lee, 9, from Wiltshire
"He broke his leg, he flipped over and broke his leg. It was a serious injury, I had to take him off. It's a penalty."
Doting dad Davron Lee, 30, admitted hacking down Alfie's player towards the end of the game as he was through on goal.
The transport manager from Westbury, Wilts, said: "Alfie and I often play FIFA together on the X-Box.
"On this occasion I told him he could be Tottenham but he wasn't allowed to lose.
"I think it put a lot of pressure on him because he is a big Spurs fan and he didn't want to let the team down.
"He went straight upstairs and told his mum. He was really upset, we couldn't help ourselves from laughing."
Mr Lee joked that the family would definitely be saving the video for Alfie's 18th birthday party.

Many states have created the abilty for people to vote through election day. Technology has increased to the point that we are able to track and verify voters instantly . There is no real reason anymore to have a date that people must register by. We should let as many people vote as possible.
Yes, people should be allowed to register through election day because no one should be turned away at the polls. Voter turnout is so low in this country that we should be doing everything possible to make sure more people vote. One of the best solutions might be to allow registration on election day.
Yes, voter registration should be allowed on election day because it is more convenient for many people. There are always complaints about people not voting. If people could register to vote on election day, more people may be willing to go and vote. Same day registration is a good way to increase voter turnout.
People should not be allowed to register to vote through election day, because that would allow candidates to sway the vote. They could just tell people to move to wherever they needed the vote the most. People could register in multiple places and there wouldn't be any way to track the vote. We have to shut down fraud one way or the other.

Weight loss. These were some of the topics that arose at a media luncheon Wednesday at Art and Soul hosted by Chef Art Smith. Along with pubic hair. The meal was a magical seven-course culinary journey into tasting some of Art's most spectacular specialties. For example, the meal included those aforementioned hoecakes (an oval shaped southern delicacy that looks and tastes like a pancake) with pulled pork piled on top, buttermilk mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese as well as the monumentally juicy fried chicken that put Art on Oprah's map. Oprah loved the chicken so much that she sought Art out and made him her personal chef (and one of her disciples). He loves her to fried chicken pieces and sang her praises during lunch. In his opinion, she is unrivaled, unmatched in every way that matters. Conversation soon moved into name dropping heaven. Lady Gaga. Priscilla Presley. Moby. Barbara Bush. Art has rubbed elbows with them all. He has also kept off the serious poundage he shed last year after being diagnosed with diabetes. As in 75 pounds. He said Bush ordered him not to lose any more. He says drinking water in January and eating oatmeal with toasted quinoa, agave syrup and granola for breakfast will change your life. Asked if he gave up booze as part of his dieting, he snapped, "No, honey, please, I love vodka." Apart from food and drink, Art's media diet consists of WaPo, Politico, Atlantic Monthly, Washingtonian, DC File and The Blade. "I have to keep up with my people in this town," he said, emphasizing his reading that last publication. And finally, the hair. Fineman's hair came up when someone at the table remarked that he has great lush locks. Pubic hair? A woman remarked that after a person has cancer, the hair sometimes "grows back like pubic hair." Bon Appetit. Find out who attended the lunch… Among those who showed up for lunch: Washington Examiner's Nikki Schwab, New York Social Diary's Carol Joynt, Alyse Kraus, Melanie Kaplan and Publicist and blogger Janet Donovan.

Clarkson Physics Professor Synthesizes Brightest Fluorescent Particles Ever
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/sokolov-lab.jpg and http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/sokolov-particles.jpg.]
Clarkson University Physics Professor Igor Sokolov and his team have discovered a method of making the brightest ever synthesized fluorescent silica particles.
These nanostructured macroscopic silica particles have potential applications in medicine, forensic science and environmental protection, among many other uses. Sokolov's research is published in the March 5 issue of the scientific journal Small. You can see the full article at http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/fulltext/114088575/HTMLSTART.
Sokolov, along with Ph.D. student Yaroslav Y. Kievsky (now a research fellow at the National Research Council of Canada) and Clarkson undergraduate student Jason M. Kaszpurenko, has created a process to physically entrap a large number of organic fluorescent molecules inside a nanoporous silica matrix. The fluorescence of these particles is 170 times brighter than any particles of similar size created so far. The previous record was reached using quantum dots.
There are a multitude of applications for these microscopic "flashlights." These particles, which are less than 1/10th the size of a human hair, could be used like holograms to prove a product's authenticity, imbedded in various objects or fabric for tracking, or used like an "invisible ink" to prove that someone touched an object.
"You could use them like a UPC barcode, encoded and deciphered not in terms of light, but in terms of colors," says Sokolov. "Using only commercially available dyes, you could create and track about 100 trillion combinations of these 'UPC' color barcodes. Because these particles are so bright, it is possible to detect even a single colored particle easily."
There are also potential applications in environmental protection -- dispersing the particles into groundwater to see where it flows to or tracking sources of air pollution. "You could spray these particles into the air like dust," says Sokolov, "and easily collect them because they are so highly visible."
Sokolov sees an ultra-bright future for these fluorescent particles. Down the road he envisions particles that can change color in different acidities. "We have already patented particles that can change color because of temperature change," he says. "The next step is to create a particle that would be a whole laboratory, simultaneously detecting many chemical environment factors -- temperature, acidity, metal ions, etc.
Apart from a family of various sensors, Sokolov's team is now working on scaling down the size of these particles to nanosize (a thousand times smaller than now). "This should have a significant impact in biology," says Sokolov. "For example, you can create particles of different colors. These particles can be made 'sticky' to particular biological molecules inside cells. Then you can see those molecules easily. This fluorescent labeling helps to identify diseased cells and may show exactly what is causing the disease."
Sokolov works on these projects together with postdoctoral fellow Sajo P. Naik and graduate student Dmitry Volkov. Two undergraduate students, Jason M. Kaszpurenko and James O. Benson, both seniors majoring in physics, are also part of the team. "At Clarkson, there are opportunities for undergraduate students in frontier science work like this," says Sokolov. "They are more than welcome to come and work with us."
In fact, Kaszpurenko is a coauthor of the Small journal article and a co-inventor of a patent. Due in part to this undergraduate research experience, Kaszpurenko has been accepted for graduate work at UC Davis, where he will continue his physics studies.
Sokolov received a Ph.D. from Soviet Bureau of Standards (Russian NIST), Russia, and completed his postdoctoral work at the University of Toronto. His research interests include biological physics, Functional Nano/Biomaterials and Interfaces, and atomic force microscopy. Find out more at http://www.clarkson.edu/~isokolov .
Clarkson University, located in Potsdam, New York, is a private, nationally ranked university with a reputation for developing innovative leaders in engineering, business, the sciences, health sciences and the humanities. At Clarkson, 3,000 high-ability students excel in an environment where learning is not only positive, friendly and supportive but spans the boundaries of traditional disciplines and knowledge.

HORROR CRASH: 50 passengers in miracle escape after school coach flips into ditch
MORE than 50 people on a school trip had a miracle escape after their coach travelling at 70mph crashed and flipped into a ditch off the M5 motorway.
Emergency services rushed to the scene between Junctions 13 and 14, near Dursley, Gloucestershire, this morning.
The smashed-up vehicle was spotted overturned in a field with its windows smashed and mirrors ripped off.
Only six people, including one child and five adults, were confirmed as having minor injuries in a what seemed an impossible escape.
The coach, operated by Prospect Coaches, was one of four travelling from Dudley, West Midlands to Weston.
Children were reportedly being taken on a day-trip to Weston super Mare when the incident happened.
"...a coach had left the M5 motorway close to Junction 13 and overturned into a ditch."A Gloucestershire police spokesperson
A Gloucestershire Police spokesman said: "We were notified shortly before 10am that a coach had left the southbound M5 motorway close to Junction 13, had overturned and landed in a ditch.
"Fifty-four people, believed to be of various ages, were on board, including the driver. Transport is being laid on to convey the passengers from the scene."
"Transport was being provided to take the passengers away from the scene."
Confederation of Passenger Transport UK (CPT) were giving updates for the story.
A CPT spokesman said: 'It was a 57 seater Prospect Coach carrying 53 passengers, a mix of adults and children from the Action for Children group, who I believe are based in Dudley.'
The five injured people were taken to hospitals in Bristol, where they are still being treated.

Canadian National Security and ImmigrationSave this online in Del.icio.us. [?] Vote For this Post
Irwin Cotler's approach to Canadian national security and immigration is expressed beautifully in a news release on his site. In the debate over two clauses of the Anti-Terrorism Act, Cotler kept a cool head and showed that the security and human rights are not mutually exclusive. Of particular interest is Cotler's commentary on immigration, in light of a recent speech by David Harris, formerly of CSIS. CSIS is Canada's intelligence agency, and it is part of Canada's national security apparatus aimed at fighting terror.
Here's what Cotler had to say:
"All this now assumes a particular importance because this debate on the extension of these two provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Act is not the end of the story, but only the beginning. For what is needed now is an informed -- and principled -- parliamentary debate and review, particularly in light of recent events. The Supreme Court of Canada has unanimously invalidated provisions of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act that denied persons named in security certificates a right to a fair hearing -- the right to know and be able to rebut the information against them. The court has suspended the impugned provisions for a year pending parliamentary review.
"But the unsatisfactory Hobson's choice in the security certificate regime still remains -- the deportation to a country where there is a substantial risk of torture or prolonged detention with all that implies. Parliament needs to legislate middle-ranged, and principled options."
To understand where security certificates come from, you need to understand Canadian demographics. Canadians do not have enough babies for the population to grow, so Canada relies on immigration for population growth. According to Harris, the former CSIS section director, Canada absorbs over a quarter of a million immigrants a year. The problem this poses to our security services is that screening 250,000 people's histories is not feasible with the resources that are available to them.
To compensate, we rely on security certificates, which allow our national security apparatus to detain without charges those immigrants that are deemed threatening to Canadian national security.
While I don't have Harris' words verbatim at my disposal, I do have notes from his speech that paraphrase what he was saying. His point on immigration follows. (Note that at another point, Harris expressly said he didn't think that a bigger police/military/security apparatus was the [best?] solution to the problem. Here are my notes:
Q: Didn't address how to tackle terrorism...
A: We need to figure out what we're about. How we achieved as a civilization, one of the most progressive living environments and economically privileged that our world has known. Gets into pluralism, respect for others opinions. Also, encouraging self-confidence in the West. To say [criticism can go - filling in from memory here] so-far, and no further.
Interconnected with immigration and refugee situation. Done very well by "artistry"[?] of immigration. But we can no longer manage the way we are going, based on numbers. Need to bring them in line with our ability to screen people.
Exposure to the other has civilized all of us.

Espinosa Trail Details
Loads of fast singletrack with banked turns and whoopty-doos. Some steep and rocky spots keep it interesting. The initial
climb was progressively looser towards the top to the point of being almost unclimbable. We did a little over 2 hours of riding and there is much more out there. The ride would definitely suck if it was muddy. Keep an eye out for motorcyclists. We encountered a half dozen or so. All were very considerate and aware of our group. I
might even go so far as to say this is my favorite ride
Access Info
From San Diego head east on the I-8 towards El Centro. You will travel through El Cajon, Alpine, and Pine Valley. Exit on the "Buckman Springs" Offramp. Turn right at the bottom of the ramp. Go through one stop sign. Turn Left on Buckman Springs road. Travel about four miles and you will see a small USFS ranger station (Cottonwood). Turn right on the first road past the station (Corral Canyon/Lake Morena). You will see a sign for Lake Morena. Travel on the dirt road for about three miles until you see the bottom of Kernan Trail. Park in the dirt along the left side of the road.

Both of these pictures represent magnitude 4.5+ earthquake events. Both have been processed exactly the same. Would I have known that if I wasn't processing the raw data myself? Absolutely not. To me, and probably many of you, the event on the right just looks like noise. And for all practical purposes I have been told to treat them as such for the purposes of retaining my sanity. To filter and extract relevant data from such an event would probably end up haunting me in my dreams, considering the catalog of 2013 data that I am processing contains roughly 900 events.
I'm sharing this with you because I've been learning some lessons in working with real data. It's messy. It doesn't always cooperate and definitely doesn't look pretty. If my new data were cast as a college student, it would almost certainly be the lazy undergraduate who overslept and sprints out the door to his test without any consideration of his personal appearance. My job for the next week or two is to sort through the OIINK data from the first quarter of 2013 and process the events that look like the event on the left. The reason some of the events look better than others is due a number of factors, most notably the size of the earthquake. Since magnitude is a logarithmic scale, the larger events show up orders of magnitude cleaner than the smaller events. That being said, there are also a number of other factors that can influence how the data is recorded. What was happening near the stations when the event passed through? Was a truck driving by? A mine-explosion happening? There are almost an infinite number of things that could impact how the data is recorded from a specific event. Another question you might having, as I had when looking at data similar to the figure on the right, is how the events are even picked if so much noise exists in the data? I learned that process is actually just a matter of applying standard travel times and the station distances to teleseismic events recorded by the USGS National Earthquake Information Center.
As I mentioned earlier, there are roughly 900 events that I am beginning to sort through. These are all events of magnitude 4.5 or above. From this larger collection I hope to pull out 80-100 events that can be analyzed well for P-wave first arrival times using the same process I described in my first blog post. Most of these events will be magnitude 5.0 or larger, as that seems to be a rough threshold for where the events show up relatively clean. The previous 2012 data that Josh and I analyzed had already been cleaned up by someone else, making it far easier to pick the arrival times. So it was a little bit of a shock when I was sorting through the 2013 data and it seemed like nothing was there. But low and behold, about every 20 events I sort through, I get a beauty. Then I promptly do a little victory dance and then proceed to pick the arrival times. All of this data I'm processing, the 2012 and 2013 data, are going to be used as inputs for my tomography model. By picking the P-wave arrivals by hand, we can calculate the residuals from standard arrival times, helping to improve the accuracy of the model. Combining my work with the 3D Illinois Basin model from the Indiana Geologic Survey that Josh is currently working to translate into a format useful for both of our projects, will hopefully help my tomography model more accurately represent the structure of the region.
That's about all for now, as I prepare to head out into the field for the rest of the week tomorrow to recover data from the OIINK stations that aren't linked via the cellular network. This will provide even more data for me to analyze in the upcoming weeks. I'm looking forward to recovering the raw data and seeing how the finalized 3D basin model will correct the time-travel calculations. Lots of work to be done before the first run of the tomography code in roughly two weeks.
Until next P-wave arrival time,

I want to thank you for taking the time to consider making a donation or being part of our team. My family has struggled with MS for over 20 years. We understand the battle, the frustrations, and also the hope. The MS society really is the main source of HOPE for those who live with MS every day. They provide assistance to the individuals and their families as well as fund research.
I could have never done this alone or without constant thoughts about my mother. Someday there will be a cure.
Sam & sister Kendra
Sam created a video that I hope you watch and we have uploaded photos of people with MS and our training.
TriForSue on YouTube
I started TRIFORSUE last summer with two good friends named Todd Hustetler and Matt Montgomery, which helped me form the 2007 Team TriForSue. We met while training for the Ironman. I was personally dedicating my efforts to my mother and hoped to raise additional funds for the KY/IN MS Society. We are now embarking on a much broader mission to use the Louisville Ironman as a rally cry to raise money and awareness for MS. The KY/IN MS Chapter has supported our event so that donations can be made directly through this website.
For those intending to be Ironman, we've set up a training bulletin board at:
We will continue to post rides, swims, meetings, etc., that relate to our MS fundraising efforts and our training program for Louisville IM '08.
Please email me for information at: email@example.com
Take care and good luck.

Shaking off the Dust
I gave up on new years resolutions many years ago and began picking a word to serve me for the year. I have had words like BE, Yes, Shalom and last year was fitness as in physical, financial and spiritual. I did fair last year. I had a cyst taken from my spine so I count that even if it was Doctor doing the work.
I knew before the first day of this year that the voices within were pointing me toward forgiveness. Forgiveness, as in, just open up your hands or your heart and let go... sounds so damned easy doesn't it. Just let it go. But where does one really begin?
Today I am learning that I must name those gremlins. I must voice how they hurt when they prod and what that hurt is. I must give voice to that ache I feel and then in calling it by name I can release it forward to God. I can then open my hand and let it go but first I must actively put it into my hands. I must hold it, I must feel its sharp edges and yucky, sticky, seering pain. I must look at it within my hands, no more hiding my eyes or pretending that I am really ok as I am. I must step up to the task and do some soul clearing this year.
Forgiveness is... giving up the hope that the past could have been any different~ Oprah
"People have to forgive. We don't have to like them, we don't have to be friends with them. We don't have to send them hearts in text messages, but we have to forgive them, to overlook, to forget. Because if we don't we are tying rocks to our feet, too much for our wings to carry." C JoyBell C.
I had two things happen to me this week that made me very sad. My post about it on facebook said something like: So far this week has been hell, someone backed into my 4Runner causing extensive damage and someone backed over my heart and I am not sure it is salvageable.
My sweetie reminded me that the car will be fine. That is why I have insurance. Wisely, he didn't tell me not to hurt over it but to simply remind me that things can be made right.
As for my heart, there again he did not tell me not to be hurt. He could read the pain I was feeling. It was a very tangible pain. I was holding it in my hands. I was turning it over and looking it in the eyes and I realized that there were strings running from that pain back to my heart. As I would pull at one of the strings another pain would slip out and clunk at my feet demanding my attention. Now not only did I need to forgive those who I saw as hurting me, I also had to forgive myself for pain that I had cause others in the past, pain that ultimately I carried with me for so many years. Here again, within my hands is the ability to make things right, to just let it go.
This year is about learning to untie the rocks from my feet and learning to let my wings carry me where they will. This is the year I want to learn to soar.

With hardly a wake behind him, Japanese solo sailor Ken-ichi Horie set sail, so to speak, on a two-month voyage yesterday from Honolulu to Japan.
If all goes well, Horie, 69, will capture a Guinness world record for the longest voyage (4,347 miles) in a wave-powered boat.
At the center of Horie's adventure is the Suntory Mermaid II, a 3-ton, 30-foot catamaran made of recycled aluminum. With a top speed of just under 6 mph, the vessel is expected to reach Japan in late May.
Tokai University professor Yutaka Terao, who designed the Suntory's wave-powered technology, called it "magic power."
"She can dance with waves," he said yesterday at a departure ceremony at Hawaii Yacht Club.
The Suntory also has solar-power panels to run Horie's radio and refrigerator.
Denyse Ray, an Aina Haina resident and chairwoman of the Hawaii Yacht Club host committee, lauded the voyage as an international initiative to promote sustainable energy.
"It's important that we embrace the world as it tries to do things, especially from the green standpoint," she said.
At the departure ceremony, Horie thanked the dozens who gathered at the Hawaii Yacht Club and drank a Suntory premium malt beer with the crowd.
Bedecked with leis, he appeared calm and smiled as bystanders wished him well or sought autographs.
Patrick Kirrane, San Francisco Yacht Club senior staff commodore, recalled meeting Horie in 1962 when he arrived in San Francisco without any passport after a solo voyage from Japan aboard a 19-foot boat.
"That was quite a deal," Kirrane said. "He was so well appreciated and liked."
Since that first voyage, Horie has made 10 successful voyages, including a nonstop solo voyage around the world and two that set world records.
After the ceremony, he powered the Suntory out of the Ala Wai Harbor channel with a 25-horsepower outboard, then cut the engine and turned the Suntory to the right.
Eight boats followed, circling him and cheering.
Junji Nemoto, 58, of Kaimuki, aboard one of boats, said Horie had inspired him a second time.
In 1962 he was a 14-year-old schoolboy in Japan when Horie first sailed across the Pacific to California.
That trip gave Nemoto the dream of sailing around the world. But nearing his 60s, Nemoto thought it might too late.
"I almost gave up my dream," he said, "but today I decided to go."

By Rob Starr, Big4.com Content Manager
There's a constant in any business and a theme you'll hear more often than not no matter who you talk to and which industry they work in. Change is constant and even after years of moving toward a world wide economy by working the levers of globalization, professionals who understand the concepts are saying the time to recalibrate but not abandon these decades old ideas is upon us.
While many headlines and economists are fashioning the picture with only black and white paints and predicting globalization will break under the collective weights of a new American administration and other influences like Brexit, others are taking a more tempered approach.
The flux for businesses
Globalization guru Anna Schlegel is the Sr. Director, Globalization and Information Engineering at NetApp and the Co-Founder of Women in Localization. Her credentials in the companies that have acted as the flux for businesses looking beyond borders include times with heavy hitters like Cisco Systems and the Xerox Corporation where she managed the global online content. Her views on today's globalization climate have been crafted by experience and as such make up a carefully thought out set of responses to the latest challenges the global business community is facing.
Silicon Valley
"The process of taking your products to international markets is what we call globalization," says
the expert that has worked for various well-known American firms in Silicon Valley. "When I started doing this twenty plus years ago, we were importing foreign talent to help us to the work here. The change is we are now laying off a lot of the people we imported and taking our jobs to other countries."
Smaller teams
One of the results is that teams are smaller today with the work contracted out through agencies.
"Not only that, but I've had to hire from countries where the labor is cheaper," says the author of Truly Global, a book based on her experience with enterprise globalization.
"It's a very interesting dilemma where the companies that I work for are shifting the site strategies from high end paying places," she says. "These policies that are designed to penetrate places like China and Russia to make more money is a very capitalist proposition that comes with a very heavy price because the work needs to be done outside of the U.S."
The whole process, according to Schlegel, is akin to putting puzzle pieces together. She writes in her book:
Going global means to expand your business into new markets, but getting there is much more complicated than simply opening a shop overseas. Globalization in a business is multifaceted, complex, and not to be instigated without careful and experienced management. Globalization is not just a single concept, or two or three.
"It's like an orchestra," she says adding that there are a large amount of high tech engineering resources in many different countries. These people are quite often educated in the United States, and, when they migrate back to their homelands, they raise the standard of living there.
According to Schlegel, conducting the globalization orchestra then becomes a game of looking for the next cheaper low cost place to produce products.
However, she cautions against only looking at the bottom line and cost cutting. Rather, she stresses balance as a clear path to sustained globalization efforts that work.
"I have people from 22 different countries on my team. Not everyone can outsource. You need to find the hubs for knowledge," she says. "For example, there are certain areas where we are very strong in the United States I would never outsource. Yet, certain budgets I have come with certain ideas and with an amount of innovation I want to drive, so I need to be really well balanced as to how I use my company's money."
Schlegel's recent book, Truly Global, is available here.

Brian Bradbury beat his wife to death with a dumbbell inside their Sydney home after they argued about his gambling addiction, court documents allege.
He then staged a random home invasion to conceal Lynette Bradbury's murder on October 31, 2011, the documents say.
At the time of his wife's death there was only $12 in their bank accounts.
But when Bradbury, 58, was granted bail in Parramatta Local Court on Wednesday there were hugs and sobs of joy from about a dozen family members in the gallery.
Outside court, his sister-in-law Suzanne Walker said police had charged the wrong man.
"If Lynette's family believe in him so strongly that's got to tell you something," Ms Walker told reporters.
"Nobody's perfect but I'm telling you he's not a murderer."
The couple worked at Westmead Hospital, she as an administration officer by day and he as cleaner by night, the court documents state.
She returned to their rented housing commission home in Oatlands about 4pm (AEST) that day, minutes before Bradbury set off for his evening shift.
He says he returned home just after 11pm to find her hands and feet bound with silver duct tape and her head covered in a black towel.
She had died from blunt force injuries to her head.
Police allege the cup of Milo that Bradbury made his wife every day before setting off to work, found untouched in the kitchen, was evidence he bludgeoned her to death with his 2kg dumbbell before he left the house.
Police said little was disturbed during the "staged" robbery and it was odd that the victim was bound but nothing had been stolen.
He had also not removed the towel from her head.
Bradbury told police he was home while his wife was at work that day, but evidence placed him at Parramatta Leagues Club, where he may have gambled away up to $240.
His addiction was straining their relationship, police allege, and Mrs Bradbury had to work extra shifts to pay off their debt.
"The victim had confided in a family member that she would leave the accused if she discovered him gambling again," the court documents state.
Over a prolonged period of time, he made withdrawals from her account from licensed premises.
Police allege she likely confronted Bradbury about his gambling before he killed her.
Mrs Bradbury had also received $50,000 from a family relative who had won the Lotto.
She placed $40,000 in a separate account and used the remaining amount as down payment on a family cruise.
Police allege Bradbury won a $35,000 pokie jackpot in early 2011 but lied about the amount and how he acquired the money.
He paid off some debts and gambled away the remaining $15,000, police allege.
He will appear before the same court on October 3.

BROWARD COUNTY Commissioners, who on occasion have set trends with progressive governmental decisions, should be embarrassed that neighboring Palm Beach County has jumped far ahead of them by adopting a 15-year, $561 million road financing plan.
They should copy Palm Beach County`s example by naming a task force to come up with recommendations to close what may be a billion-dollar gap between road improvements needed by the year 2000 and funds available to meet those needs.
Otherwise, Broward residents and visitors will find local roads increasingly overcrowded and unsafe, costing them wasted travel time, higher repair bills and insurance rates and more accidents, injuries and deaths.
Broward government`s previous commitment to road building -- through approval of a 1978 bond issue, adoption of developer impact fees and approval of a 4- cent local gas tax -- has been replaced by neglect and apathy.
Although commissioners have a capital improvement plan for roads, last year they did not budget anywhere near the money needed to implement that plan because of their objections to imposing new taxes.
They are not alone in going about this the wrong way. Many other politicians and government agencies, from the state Legislature to county commissions to city councils, cling stubbornly to the short-range approach. They do only what is currently popular or politically expedient, approving the bare minimum of tax rates and budgets.
``For the past couple of years, we`ve had the attitude of `just get by and get through the next elections,` `` laments Broward Commissioner Marcia Beach.
While spending restraint is normally admirable for a politician, in Florida it has been carried to such extremes that in many places, the legitimate need for government services and facilities caused by soaring population growth has far outstripped the supply.

HathiTrust partners pay for the basic infrastructure costs of content preserved in the repository, including the costs of storage, backup, data centers, servers, and some staff. In 2013, HathiTrust moved to a new model of distributing fees among the partners that is based on the benefits partners derive from the aggregate collection. In this model, fees are comprised of two elements: first, partners pay an evenly distributed share of the cost to support public domain volumes in HathiTrust; second, partners pay a share of the cost of in-copyright volumes that overlap with volumes held in their print collections.
The pricing model is based on the receipt of holdings information from institutions, which is also used to facilitate lawful uses of in-copyright materials (see Accessibility [1] and Access to Out-of-Print and Brittle or Missing Items [2]). Our page on Print Holdings [3] provides details on the information that must be submitted for partnership, and requirements for receiving a fee estimate. Our Partnership Checklist [4] provides an overview of the items and information required for partnership. A summary of the pricing model is provided below. Additional information, including a detailed description of the model [5], and pricing model FAQ [6], are also available.
Fees for partners are determined on the basis of several "fixed" elements (designed to pay for basic repository work) that are calculated on a yearly basis, and one adjustable element (designed to pay for programmatic activities). The fixed elements are:
The adjustable element is a flexible multiplier (X), set by the Board of Governors, whose purpose is to generate surplus to develop new services and functionality for HathiTrust. The HathiTrust Board of Governors has determined that a multiplier value of 1.5 yields a surplus that is sufficient to support current programmatic activities. The Board of Governors will review this value periodically.
Institutions pay:
Fees are billed in January of each full year an institution participates in HathiTrust, and prorated for partial years.

text: Today was the first day I've been unemployed since the six months after I graduated from college in '84. After waking up very early in a rage that made it impossible for me to get back to sleep, the rest of the day improved dramatically. I got some things done. I talked to some people on the phone about legal matters. I posted my resume on a job search site and applied for a non-publishing job in Bayonne (a non-publishing job seems very appealing to me at this point; getting away from some of the pretentious and condescending types the publishing industry tends to attract would be a breath of fresh air, I think). I also applied for unemployment for the first time in my life and felt absolutely no shame in doing so. Overall, it wasn't such a bad day.

Old English antefn, antifne (denoting a composition sung antiphonally), from late Latin antiphona (see antiphon). The spelling with th, which began in the 16th century, was on the pattern of similar words such as Antony, Anthony.

How 450 Sermons Revealed Four Preaching Truths
By Ed Stetzer on Oct 31, 2013
LifeWay Research discovered four common factors in good preaching. Are they part of yours?
At LifeWay Research, we recently studied the variety of ways pastors use the Bible by looking at 450 different sermons (all by different preachers). We gave our research team the audio files of these sermons and some objective questions about how the preacher handled God's Word. Let me share about the research and my views on preaching at the same time.
In these sermons, the preachers handled God's Word differently. The way pastors organized their sermons varied widely. Half of pastors traveled verse-by-verse through a passage, and almost half organized their sermons around a theme. Almost one out of five pastors named and explained a Greek word in their sermon. More than half explained verses by using other verses in the Bible.
Even though different preachers handle the Word differently, I believe they're all obligated to teach it as authoritative, not merely as a scriptural footnote proving something they already wanted to say. Four things have to be true about a pastor's handling of the Bible if that pastor is to preach authoritatively.
1. The Word should be heard.
Our central task as preachers is to present God's Word. Paul asked a series of questions that should haunt all of us who preach: How can they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe without hearing about him? And how can they hear without a preacher? (Romans 10:14 HCSB) A preacher isn't a self-help guru. A preacher is not a political activist or an entertainer. Those who preach are truth-dispensers, proclaimers of the Word. If we don't do our job as preachers, people will not hear the good news, and therefore can't respond to it. What we do is crucial.
At a surprisingly high level, most of the preachers we studied seemed to understand the need for the text. Four out of five of these sermons conveyed the correct meaning of the chosen text, according to our research team's analysis (which was not denominationally specific). I'm encouraged by this. People will not really hear God's Word in our churches if we're not preaching it accurately.
Of course, you can preach the Word accurately and still no one will really "hear" it; we must share God's Word in the way our hearers will understand it. No matter how accurately the Bible is preached, our message can get lost behind jargon and phrases that mean nothing to our congregations. This doesn't mean that we should gloss over difficult words within Scripture. But we do need to explain the original language and "churchy" words we use. Words we only hear in church—such as "holy," "righteousness" and "propitiation"—can help hearers understand God's truth only if properly clarified.
Many of the preachers we studied did this. In fact, 41 percent explained at least one church or theological word during their sermon. Another 21 percent avoided such words altogether. This means more than half of the preachers we studied either avoided or at least explained some of the church or theological words they used. While this is notable, it still means that one out of three preachers are not speaking in the vernacular of their audience—at least if the uninitiated or unchurched are in attendance.
Paul could have just asked, "How can they believe without a preacher?" But he didn't. Without people hearing—really hearing what you say—they will not believe the message.
2. The Word should be organized.
If God is orderly, and the story of creation suggests he is, then the preaching of his Word should be as well. Having a good sermon structure matters as listeners try to make sense of your message.
A good sermon structure simply allows your listeners to more easily grab upon truth. It's like a well-organized toolbox: If you know where everything in your toolbox is located, you can go find a tool even when your lights are out. Why? You know where everything is. A good sermon structure can do the same thing. If you've organized your sermon well, your listeners will be able to understand the Word more easily—even when you're dealing with difficult subjects.
But different people and different cultures think differently and organize their thoughts differently. Not everyone looks for their tools in the same places. Your task as the preacher is to know how your listeners organize their thoughts and to organize your sermon likewise. (And you should note that our sample was in English, which limited the cultural diversity of our study group.) As we studied these 450 sermons, we saw three main categories of biblical preaching. Each category pointed to an important element in biblical sermons.
Half of these preachers focused their preaching around one block of Scripture text, moving verse-by-verse through the passage. In truth, every sermon should strive to explain Scripture. If the sermon fails to do so, it's hard to say the Word is central to it.
Another 46 percent of preachers focused their preaching around a main theme, question or topic, using multiple Scriptures to support it. Themes may address issues that listeners deal with throughout their life, or they might highlight a biblical principle or doctrine that should impact the listener's thinking. Again, this method effectively helps listeners apply the Word to their lives, no matter what organizational method they use.
Finally, the other 4 percent organized their message around one main biblical character, using multiple Scriptures to support the theme. This demonstrates the necessity of personalizing biblical truth—letting listeners see the truth lived out in someone else's life. (Wayne Cordeiro does a helpful job unpacking this approach to Scripture in his book The Divine Mentor.)
All of these examples are appropriate ways to structure a sermon depending upon your audience, and all point to essential elements in a good sermon.
3. The Word should be sufficient.
Preachers today can be tempted to use all sorts of extrabiblical resources to make their sermons more interesting to the unchurched. Much of those efforts are good. For example, a movie clip may make a nice illustration. A quote from popular culture may show listeners the relevance of what you're teaching. What a commentator says about a verse may help explain the Scripture better.
But, the best way to explain Scripture is with Scripture itself. Sometimes it isn't the most convenient place for us to go, but the Bible is simply far better equipped to explain itself than popular culture. More than half of the sermons we studied (56 percent) used cross-references to explain the Word.
I am not saying that cross-references are the only way to help us explain the Word. In many of the sermons we studied (just under half), the preacher gave contextual background information on the biblical book being studied to help listeners understand the text's meaning. About four out of 10 preachers explained their text by talking about its context or what came immediately before and after the passage. Almost one in five preachers gave little to no background information to help explain the texts they preached upon.
4. The Word should be useful.
God's Word should make a difference in the lives of our listeners. When God's Word is preached boldly and authoritatively, people change. Paul told Timothy, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16 HCSB)
Paul says God's Word is useful (or profitable) to equip us to do his work. In fact, he says all of God's Word is useful for this—this includes Leviticus, Amos and the lineage of Jesus. He doesn't give any exceptions.
The preachers we surveyed had a definite preference for the New Testament. Nearly three quarters (71 percent) of the main biblical texts were found in the New Testament. More than a third (37 percent) of the sermons came from the New Testament letters alone. A quarter came from the Gospels.
When preachers flipped through their New Testament looking for a passage to preach upon, they didn't flip far. Matthew was the most preached-upon and the most referenced book in the entire Bible. Genesis was the most preached-upon Old Testament book. Luke, John, Acts of the Apostles and Romans—all from the New Testament—were the other most likely biblical books for preachers to use as a main text.
Every book, every page of the Bible, is useful to make us more like Christ and prepare us for ministry, not just our favorite books or pages. In fact, an important part of authoritative, biblical preaching is helping listeners discover "the whole counsel of God." (Acts 20:27) This means we have to flip further into our Bibles if we're going to be completely obedient to our call.
How we handle the Word of God matters. As preachers, we have a limited time with our audience every week. The question is, how will we use that time? Will we handle the Word of God in a way that demonstrates its authority in our lives and over the lives of our listeners?
How important is this issue? God's Word is bread to a spiritually lost and hungry culture. The issue is urgent. Here is my challenge: Over the next 90 days, take action steps to make your sermons more biblically relevant. The following steps will help you get started:
1. Listen to one of your recent sermons and assess how you handled the Bible (start by listening for how your sermon addressed the four points in this article).
2. Have someone you trust (maybe from outside your church) listen to a different one of your sermons and do the same assessment.
3. Read some books on preaching, like Christ-Centered Preaching by Bryan Chapell or The Divine Mentor by Wayne Cordeiro, to help your personal approach to God's Word.
4. Create a list of clear and measurable goals to strengthen the biblical content of your preaching.
My prayer is that God would do something new and deeper in all of us who have the honor of communicating his life-changing truth. May every man, woman and child in every community truly see and hear his Word as a result. It's really the most important concern we can address as we prepare to preach.

Family Orientation FAQ
What are the advantages of participating in orientation?
Orientation is the best way for family members and the University to create a partnership for student success. Families will be able to support their students by attending Hoggie Days as well as learn about academic and social aspects of the campus, meet current students and talk with University faculty and staff. In addition, you will meet other new Texas A&M-Kingsville students and their families, have plenty of opportunities to have all of your questions answered, and gain a better understanding of the place your student is going to call home for the next four years!
Why do students and family members have separate programs?
Orientation is the first step in preparing the student to succeed as a college student and the first transition for family members to support their student in a new way. This is a prime opportunity for students to meet with their peers and family members to network with other parents.
Can I be with my student during advising and registration?
We ask that family members allow advisors and students to meet independently to discuss the student's class schedule. Family members and students will receive academic program information during orientation that you can review together. Family members can discuss questions that their students can have answered during their advising session.
What can I expect at orientation?
The primary focus during Family Orientation is to acquaint you with all the support services and campus resources available to your student.
What role do family members have?
The A&M-Kingsville campus recognizes the interest and level of involvement that families have in the lives of their college students. We hope that parents' participation in Orientation will help families understand the university environment.
Can I tour the residence halls while on campus?
Although your student may not have their housing assignment at the time of orientation, you are welcome to tour our housing facilities. Orientation Leaders will be available to take family members on a campus tour that will include the residence halls.
What should my student(s) bring to orientation?
Bring documents that are pending for financial aid or admission. This may include your W-2, other tax information, test scores, and updated transcripts. For a detailed list of what your student needs to bring, please visit the What to Bring page of this website.
What if I can't attend the orientation program?
If you cannot attend orientation, please make sure your student attends. If your student cannot attend orientation, they may not be able to register for classes. Please be aware that all students are assessed an orientation fee regardless of participation.

Get the latest from TODAY
They are both teenage girls growing up in a society that has celebrated skinny women, but they hold different viewpoints on how the dolls that little girls love to play with should really look.
As part of TODAY's "Love Your Selfie" series, the girls shared their feelings about the images presented by the beloved, yet sometimes controversial, playthings.
One girl, Jewel Moore, is pushing for Disney to create a plus-size princess while the other, Justina Sharp, celebrates Barbie and believes the recent Sports Illustrated cover girl known for her unrealistic proportions should stay just the way she is.
Moore, a 17-year-old high school junior from Virginia, has launched an online petition asking Disney for a princess with a larger body.
Her effort on Change.org, now with more than 31,000 signatures, says a plus-size female protagonist "who was as bright, amazing, and memorable as their others" would help heavier girls "who are bombarded with images that make them feel ugly for not fitting the skinny standard."
Moore told TODAY's Natalie Morales and Tamron Hall Friday that plus-size people have not been fairly represented in the media.
"Society has very, very few positive plus-size role models, especially in films," she said. "Our perceptions start when we're children. Disney is so influential, especially to little girls with their Disney princesses, that a plus-size princess would sort of be adding something new to the variety."
She agreed that Disney princesses have grown stronger but said there's still more the company could do.
"I love how far Disney has come," she said. "They now have different races, different cultural backgrounds. And they have kind of gotten away from the damsel in distress to the more empowered person."
A statement from Disney read on the show said: "There are many types of princesses, just as there are many types of girls, who each have their own unique history, character and story. We appreciate and celebrate all types of women and girls and their own individual beauty."
Moore said she was happy with Disney's words, but added: "I would like for them to … do a little more. If they really do feel that all women are beautiful than they can sort of push a different type of body image."
Sharp, meanwhile, said Disney princesses "are all amazing in their own way, especially the newer princesses."
She mentioned Merida, the princess from Disney's 2012 movie "Brave" who has long, wavy red hair.
"She was just sort of herself and that's really important," Sharp said. "And I think Disney is starting to recognize and represent that."
Sharp, a fashion and entertainment blogger, recently wrote an article for The Huffington Post that was headlined: "I'm a Barbie girl, in the Real World."
Sharp writes that it's usually adults who bash Barbie for giving girls a bad body image but says they don't see the doll as girls do.
"Little girls don't see that she has a tiny waist, they see that she has a teeny purse," Sharp wrote. "Adult problems should not be projected onto the way a little girl sees herself."
She also dismissed the need for a plus-size Barbie.
"She's a doll," Sharp wrote. "She lives in her own world, and does not need to accurately represent the people in ours. She's the perfect dream for girls to aspire: to be successful and independent."
On TODAY, Sharp reiterated her stance that while she loves Barbie, she does not aspire to look like her.
"Barbie is just really great because she is exactly who she is and she's tried everything that she loves to do," she said. "It's important for young women to recognize that if there's something you really want to learn and something you want to try, that you should be able to try and that's what Barbie represents."

The length of a treatment for a basic vaginal yeast infection depends on the type of treatment the patient selects, according to Everyday Health. Diflucan, a powerful oral medication, only requires one dose, while topical treatment lengths range from one to seven days.
If a patient is dealing with a complicated yeast infection, the treatment type and length varies, reports Everyday Health. In these cases, doctors often prescribe extended treatments, such as a seven- to 14-day course of an azole medication or up to three days of an oral medication. To keep yeast infections from recurring, a doctor can prescribe oral azole tablets for as long as six months.

Shoulder replacement surgery is performed by replacing the end of the arm bone and usually the shoulder bone with artificial components, explains WebMD. Sometimes these bones are resurfaced instead of replaced. As of 2015, a new procedure called a reverse total replacement is available for some patients.
A shoulder replacement procedure involves removing damaged bone from the end of the arm bone and replacing it with plastic or a combination of metal and plastic, says WebMD. If the shoulder bone is also worn down, it is smoothed over and covered with a synthetic component. Artificial components that replace damaged bone are cemented into place, or made of material held in place by new bone that grows into them. People with arthritis and damage to the shoulder muscles may be candidates for a reverse total replacement, in which part of the shoulder bone is used to replace the end of the arm bone. Shoulder replacement surgery is normally performed using general anesthesia, but it can also be done with regional anesthesia, leaving the patient conscious.
Infections can cause serious problems, so doctors may prescribe antibiotics before and after surgery, notes WebMD. Medicines to control pain and prevent blood clots may be administered after surgery. A drain to keep fluid from building up is commonly used, and a compression sleeve on the arm may be used to keep blood clots from forming.

Subsequent to the recent report of the case taken by the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) against Goldman Sachs, the LIA has issued the following statement detailing its case against the bank:
The full extent of the LIA's case against Goldman Sachs was detailed recently, with the serving of the legal claim and its particulars on Goldman Sachs. This follows the submission by the LIA to the High Court in London last week. The claim rests on disputed equity derivatives trades, amounting to in excess of $1 billion. These trades expired as worthless in 2011 despite delivering immediate and disproportionate profits to Goldman Sachs. These profits are estimated to be in the range of $350 million.
The central charge is that Goldman Sachs deliberately exploited the relationship of trust and confidence it had established with the Libyan Investment Authority in order to cause the LIA to enter into each of the disputed trades.
The legal papers submitted by the LIA note the huge imbalance between Goldman Sachs's sophisticated financial expertise and the LIA's extremely limited in-house financial and legal experience; the LIA being a newly formed sovereign wealth fund that became operational during the last years of Gaddafi-era Libya.
From late 2007 until well after the disputed trades took place, Goldman Sachs employees were extensively involved in self-described training and development of the team at LIA, had unfettered access to its offices, systems, and information, and also provided extensive corporate hospitality for LIA employees.
The legal papers also note that the exploitative trades were inadequately documented by Goldman Sachs, with the details of the actual trades undertaken being provided to the LIA weeks (and in some cases, months) after the trades were executed. When the LIA received these trade details and begun to understand the true nature of the disputed trades, it became clear the trust and confidence placed in Goldman Sachs had been abused.
Mr. AbdulMagid Breish, Chairman of the LIA since June 2013 said, "The unique circumstances allowed Goldman Sachs to take advantage of the LIA's extremely limited financial and legal experience, to deliberately exploit its position of influence, and to take advantage in a way that generated colossal losses for the LIA, but substantial profits for Goldman Sachs. While Goldman Sachs was orchestrating these unjustly exploitative transactions, it repeatedly told the LIA that it sought a long-term relationship with the LIA as a strategic partner. This was untrue. Today, the LIA, as the sovereign wealth fund of Libya, is seeking the recovery of these substantial funds as it seeks to invest and generate wealth for the people of Libya as the country continues its development following the revolution of 2011."

Other Dwellings
Kellion (Cell)
The cell is a spacious dwelling, with two or three floors, something like a farmhouse with a small chapel. Each cell is built into the fields of the monasteries and it held by three or more monks. These monks are occupied in farming and handicraft activities.
The kalyve is a dwelling like the kellion, only smaller. The monks live there as a family and they occupy themselves in handicrafts. Kalyvae named Kapsala are found near Karyes (55 kalyves), Little St Anne (6 kalyves), Katoynakia (15 kalyves), St Basil (12 kalyves) and Karoylia (12 kalyves).
A kathisma is even smaller than the Kalyve, and is built close to the monastery. It is held by one monk.
To the hesychasteria retreat monks who seek the most harsh and austere ascetitsm. An hesychasterion is sometimes a small hut, but more often it is only a cave. Karoulia and Katounakia are such hesychasteria.
