For those who have an Xbox One S but are looking for a way to change it up a bit you can now order skins from DecalGirl to customize your look.
DecalGirl is a well-known company for making skins for just about every electronic device known including gaming consoles. The company sports over 1600 skins to choose from and you can now order them made for the One S for $19.99. That price includes a skin for the console and one game controller.
Probably one of the funniest ones is a skin that makes your One S look like an old school Nintendo.
The company usually offers a way to upload custom artwork, but so far that feature is not yet enabled for the One S, but it is for the older Xbox One. I'm sure that feature will be coming soon if you have a particular graphic in mind.
Rumor has it (or was it the mailer they sent me) that if you use the code SUMMER25 during checkout you'll get 25% off your full order.
I have used DecalGirl before for my Surfaces, and I think their quality is top notch. They're easy to work with when fitting to your device making sure you line up everything without any issues. While I don't know if I'd cover up my One S I at least like the option!

"...is supposed to build character and create strong bonds between the young adults of the tribe." Uchenna zan-Avira completed the sentence, though not in the way Clarisse had intended.
"Anyway," she went on, "if you don't want to stay and become an adult with the rest of us, Your Highness, then you can just pack up right now and go back to SimNation."

Insider's Escape to South Tyrol, Italy
Do you also know the feeling when you are going to work and think: "It's definitely time for a Sweet Escape!"? Well you are not alone with that feeling. But why not escaping in a different way this time? Why not putting the focus onto nature, culinary and culture this time? If you're in for a secret hideaway where you definitely won't be facing luxury and international atmosphere then head to the wonderful South Tyrol. Situated in the northernmost part of Italy and just south of Austria, this little piece of land is one of my absolute favourite regions in the entire world. Beside one exception you won't find any international hotel brand nor a fast food chain here. And that is what makes this place so special.
I have already written about the western part of South Tyrol (yes it's about the famous Merano Wine Festival, where we stayed at Castel Fragsburg, Chalet Mirabell and ImperialArt Hotel), but today I want to focus on a still unknown place: the Val Pusteria (Puster valley). Nestled between the majestic Dolomites, the centres of this valley are Bruneck and Innichen. One of the most unique places to stay is the Zenana - a slightly different boutique hotel. Totally original from the outside, it's about the interior that makes is so special. Every room is designed in a different way and each of them feels like an own century. However what I appreciates most is the modern design of the bedroom and the magnificent views of the mountains as well as the pure and fresh air you get during the night while sleeping with open windows.
Get yourself a ticket to Innsbruck, Austria and start discovering a truly hidden place - a personal favourite of mine, when we are looking for something else than a luxury hotel.

How William Burns Was Unanimously Censored By India's Free Media
Posted in 9/11, afghanistan, Ahmed Quraishi, Britain, India, Pakistan, Pakistan army, politics and current affairs, RAW on July 25, 2009| 1 Comment »
By AHMED QURAISHI
Saturday, 25 July 2009.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—More than a month after the visit of US Under Secretary of State William Burns to New Delhi, I described in my column this week in Pakistan's The News International ['Forget AfPak, Resolve AfKash To Win In Afghanistan'] how no Indian official publicly contradicted Mr. Burns when he asked New Delhi to trim down or close some of its consulates in Afghanistan after they have been found involved in terrorism inside Pakistan.
I had no idea I was breaking news to a large segment of the Indian public opinion. It turns out very few people in India know this.
What Mr. Burns said is important because it paved the way four weeks later for Pakistan's Prime Minister Gilani to have a frank talk with his Indian counterpart in Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt, where Mr. Gilani leveled with Mr. Manmohan Singh about India's role in spreading terror in Pakistan's Balochistan province. The Indians agreed to quietly look into the matter and consented to let Pakistan mention that the two sides discussed 'threats in Balochistan', which was a face saver for the Indians. The alternative would have been embarrassing. Islamabad planned to go public with the evidence on Indian terror links.
The Indian government did get into trouble over this with its critics back home. But it successfully kept the lid on an equally embarrassing situation when Mr. Burns visited New Delhi in the second week of June.

Ahmed Quraishi
Three things have never happened before. Afghanistan has conceded over the weekend that anti-Pakistan terrorists and separatists have safe havens on its soil. India accepted last week it was feeding terror in Balochistan. And CIA drones have begun targeting the area of Baitullah Mehsud. The new CIA move is a result of Pakistani officials accusing some lobbies in Washington of protecting Mehsud for the past four years.
What we are seeing now is not everyone coming clean. What we are seeing is the result of nearly one year of quiet pressure from Pakistan on its allies in Washington. It started in a secret meeting in Rawalpindi in July 2008 where Admiral Mike Mullen and CIA number two Stephen Kappes were told that some CIA activities inside Pakistan contradicted stated US government policy. There is credible information that the Pakistani military handled this matter with the Americans through military channels after reluctance shown by President Zardari in confronting Washington, Kabul and New Delhi. In this sense, Prime Minister Gilani's bold talk with his Indian counterpart on Balochistan last week was a break from his party line.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Palm and Nike both surpassed analysts' quarterly expectations after the closing bell Thursday, despite bringing in less money than last year, but Palm warned that second-quarter numbers won't live up to Wall Street targets.
Revenue for hand-held device maker Palm fell nearly 50 percent compared with a year earlier, but its final first-quarter loss was smaller than analysts had been expecting.
For the next quarter, Palm said in a conference call that it expects an operating loss with revenue flat to slightly higher than the just-reported quarter. Analysts, on average, were expecting Palm to break even on a per-share basis. Shares traded at $2.25 coming off a halt, up 10 cents from a Nasdaq close of $2.15. Watch video brief.
Athletic shoe and apparel maker Nike reported a first-quarter profit that was down from the year-ago period but also ahead of analyst expectations. Shares were not active coming off a halt.
A quarterly report sent shares of Riverstone Networks 6 percent higher in late trading. The maker of routers and switches posted a slight pro forma profit vs. the loss analysts anticipated.
Liberate Technologies posted a smaller than expected loss; its shares gained 1.9 percent.
Elsewhere, Chubb updated investors on the extent of last week's terrorist attacks on its losses, saying they will result in pre-tax losses, net of reinsurance, of $500 million to $600 million.
Contract manufacturer Jabil Circuit reported fourth-quarter earnings below expectations and warned that full-year results for the upcoming fiscal year will be smaller that current expectations.
Also, Jabil said it will buy a 150,000 square-foot plant in Malaysia from Intel and it will manufacture certain peripheral products for Intel during the next three years. Terms were not disclosed, but Intel is expected to be one of Jabil's top 10 customers in the coming year.
And Immunex remained a top mover. The company was added to the S&P 500 index.
The financial reports follow a tough day of trading as U.S. equity markets plunged in the fourth straight day of losses. Even comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan that the U.S. economy will eventually recover and prosper failed to stem the slide. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -2.37% fell 383 points to 8,376, its lowest close since Oct. 28, 1998. The Nasdaq Composite $COMPQ retreated 57 points, or 3.7 percent, to 1,471. Read Market Snapshot.
Palm Inc. PALM, -1.71% reported a net loss of $32.4 million, or 6 cents a share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2002, reversing a profit from last year's like quarter as revenue plunged by 47 percent.
Excluding special items, the personal digital assistant specialist reported a loss of $38.7 million, or 7 cents a share, for the quarter and surpassing the 9 cent loss expected by analysts polled by Thomson Financial/First Call.
The company said it had slashed operating costs by almost 25 percent.
Last year, Palm's pro forma income was $24 million, or 4 cents.
Revenue came in a tad higher than expected, at $214.3 million in the first quarter. Read full story.
During the regular session, the stock shed 14 percent to $2.15.
Nike NKE, -3.44%, one of the world's most recognizable manufacturers of athletic shoes and apparel, reported a first-quarter profit down from the year-ago period but ahead of analyst expectations.
Citing a 6 percent rise in futures orders, Nike said it earned $204 million, or 75 cents a share, vs. $210 million, or 77 cents a share. Analysts were expecting Nike to earn an average of 71 cents a share in the most recent quarter, according to Thomson Financial/First Call.
Nike, which was originally scheduled to release earnings on Monday but changed the date due to the terrorist attacks last week, reported first-quarter revenue that was essentially unchanged from a year ago. Read full story.
Shares of the company closed down 49 cents to $42.26 ahead of the announcement and were not actively traded after being released from a halt in late action.
The Chubb Corp. CB, -1.29% said last week's terrorist attacks will result in pre-tax losses, net of reinsurance, of $500 million to $600 million. On a per-share basis, the losses equal an impact of $1.85 to $2.25, which will in turn drop full year 2001 earnings to $1.60 to $2.35 a share.
While Chubb had previously updated investors on estimated property losses, the latest estimates include property and other coverage, as well. Read full story.
Shares closed down 3.1 percent at $58.59.

Excluding charges, pro forma net income was $1.6 million, or a penny a share, compared with a pro forma net loss of $8.4 million, or 9 cents a share, during the same quarter last year. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call expected a pro forma loss of 2 cents a share, on average.
Ahead of the report, shares closed down $1.12, or 12 percent, to $8.27 but then gained 51 cents, or 6 percent, to $8.78 on the Island ECN.
Jabil Circuit
Contract manufacturer Jabil Circuit JBL, -4.17% reported fourth-quarter earnings below expectations and warned that full-year results for the upcoming fiscal year will be smaller that current expectations.
Ahead of the report, shares closed down 1 cent at $15 but then backpedaled to $13.45 after hours.
Jabil reported fiscal fourth-quarter net income of $11.2 million, or 6 cents a share, compared with net income of $47.1 million, or 24 cents a share, during the same quarter last year.
Revenue declined to $944 million compared with $1.1 billion during the same quarter last year.

Edit: I'm aware I left the squared notation out of the first equation, but it wasn't left out of the calculation, just what I put into word to display the actual equation. The answers are still correct.
Over the years I've had many an argument/flamewar about many things, but primarily issues of skepticism and pseudoscience because that's what I'm interested in.
When astrology comes up, one defence I've heard many, many times is that "The moon controls the tides, and people are mostly made of water, then maybe gravity is why the stars have such an effect on our personalities!"

Ethiopia -The Undemocratic Electoral System
The on-going election process unfolding in Ethiopia yields an abundant evidence that unquestionably demonstrates the prevalence of an apartheid system in Ethiopia. For this, you only need to have a look at the election results presented by the Ethiopian Election Board on its website: www.ElectionsEthiopia.org (see footnote for details).
One of the so-called regional states within the current federal structure of Ethiopia is the Harari Killil which is estimated to have a population of 200,000 of which only 9,000 (less than 5%) are Aderes who reside in the "Jegol Medebegna" area while the remaining majority of 191,000 (comprising people from various other Ethiopian ethnic groups) is located in the "Jegol Zuriya and Hundene" area both within the same Killil (locality).
The Board's election result shows that a parliamentary seat is to be reserved for an Adere who is elected by 3,266 Aderes (registered Adere voters: 5,516) within the Jegol Medebegna area while the vast majority of the Killil's residents having registered voters numbering 58,182 living in the Jegol Zuriya and Hundene area will also have a solitary parliamentary seat voted for by 15,244 residents. The only other comparative situation is the case of another lopsided election in Benishangul Killil, Bulen district in which a parliamentary seat is to be allocated to a person elected by only 1,355 voters in a nation of 75 million people!
Such is the state of "democracy" in the present days of Ethiopia!
That is not all. Despite the Aderes' miniscule number relative to the total population of the "Killil", the current regime's apartheid system has facilitated their total power monopoly on the regional state's governance. Typical to the apartheid system, the minority Aderes are subjecting the majority to abuse of power including a great deal of corruption, injustice and incompetence. A clear evidence of this predicament is the fact that for some years now, Harar which is surrounded by abundant water resources, does not have a water supply system, thanks to the total ineffectiveness and inefficiency of the Adere leadership. What is even more disturbing is the fact that according to the present Ethiopian constitution, this tiny group of Aderes could veto any amendment such as the proposed reforms aimed at achieving an improved parliamentary representation.
Numerous decent Ethiopian Aderes are embarrassed, appalled and even disgusted by the current obviously unjust and undemocratic system. One of them has in fact written a book condemning the whole setup. The opportunist Aderes who are engaged in perpetuating the odious abuse of authority should give heed to his advice lest they incur the wrath of the majority sooner than later. They should know that the current injustice cannot continue and that their days are numbered.
The odious apartheid system in Harer and elsewhere in Ethiopia should be done away with forthwith!

Elections in Ethiopia – Truth Should Never be a Casualty
By Mohammed H. Durri
I read the article that was written by Hibret Selamu,
and published by Sudan Tribune on May 27, 2005 under
the title of "Ethiopia - The undemocratic electoral
system." To say the least I found the article to be
factually inaccurate, and demeaning to millions of
South Africans who suffered under the brutal apartheid
The main argument of the article is that the current
system in existence in Ethiopia is similar to that of
the former apartheid regime in South Africa. The only
proof presented to support this claim is the special
affirmative action based status that was awarded to
Harar by the Ethiopian parliament after examining the
injustices that the Harari people have faced during
the previous regimes.
Ethiopia encompasses an area of 1,127,127 sq km. Harar
makes up only 400 sq km or 0.035% of the total area.
Even if we assume the claim that Ethiopia has a system
that is similar to that of the apartheid regime
because of the way the Harari regional state is
administered, that still leaves the remaining 99.965%
of Ethiopia, which does not have such a system.
Therefore, it would be inaccurate to state that
Ethiopia has "undemocratic electoral system" based on
these facts. The special arrangement in Harar is the
exception to the rule in Ethiopia, and was
necessitated due to exceptional circumstances, which
will be discussed below.
Throughout his article Mr. Hibret keeps on referring
to the Harari people as "aderes." I will give him the
benefit of the doubt, and assume that he genuinely
does not know the fact that "adere" is an imposed name
on the Harari people subsequent to the defeat and
annexation of their homeland in 1887 at the hands of
the Ethiopian king, Menelik.
The subsequent leaders of Ethiopia after Menelik
imposed great political repression on Harari people
causing them to leave their hometown, Harar. During
the reign of Haile Selasi some Hararis were arrested
and abused in prisons. Others were exiled to other
parts of Ethiopia, and prevented from ever returning
to Harar. Also, economic opportunities were denied to
Hararis in systematic ways so they can leave Harar and
settle elsewhere.
While such policies of systematic displacement and
disenfranchisement were in effect against the Hararis,
the opposite was true for the ruling ethnic group, the
Amharas. They were encouraged and given incentives
such as land grants to settle in Harar. Almost all
government jobs were given exclusively to Amharas.
Specifically, all civil services, administration, law
enforcement, education, down to the lowest menial jobs
were given to Amharas. Moreover, military personal
received higher pensions if they moved and settled in
Harar when they retired. It is because of such
despotic and oppressive actions that the Harari
population dwindled to the level it has today.
From 1877 to 1994 the Harari population in Harar is
reported to have decreased by 88%, while that of the
Amharas increased by 371%. These are conservative
Any fair-minded person can see that a great injustice
has been committed against the Harari people. Today
they are on the verge of extinction due to crimes that
were committed against them for over a century. It is
after examining these facts that the Ethiopian
parliament voted to allow Hararis to administer Harar
in a special affirmative action based system. It is
quiet a stretch of imagination to associate a minority
indigenous group of people ruling a fraction of their
ancestral land with apartheid. Affirmative action is a
legal means to redress past injustices that have been
committed against group of people. It is by no means
intended to oppress anyone. To claim otherwise is
tantamount to some white supremacists in the US
arguing that affirmative actions are reverse
Hararis have no desire, nor the capacity to oppress
others. They are peaceful and law-abiding citizens who
are willing to work with all Ethiopians no matter what
their ethnic and/or religious affiliation are. It is
to the testament of the fair-mindedness of the Harari
leadership that the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) awarded
the 2002-2003 UNESCO's Cities for Peace Prize to
According to UNESCO's website, "The UNESCO's Cities
for Peace Prize recognizes municipalities that are
strengthening social cohesion, improving living
conditions in disadvantaged neighbourhoods and
developing genuine urban harmony and diversity."
That does not sound like apartheid, does it? To accuse
Harar of having anything that resembles apartheid
system is a great injustice not only to the long
oppressed Hararis, but also to the millions of South
Africans who suffered and died fighting for liberation
and justice. Such accusations are unfair to
personalities like Nelson Mandela, Steven Biko,
Desmond Tutu, and countless other heroes of the
liberation movement who paid heavy prices in their
struggle against injustice and narrow-mindedness.
If anything could remotely be compared to apartheid
system in Harar, it was the system that was in
existence during the regime of Haile Selasi and
Mengistu, which heavily discriminated against the
local population of Harar and decimated their number.
What happened in Harar was nothing short of ethnic
Mr. Hibret also accuses the Harari leadership of
corruption and incompetence. To prove his point he
raised the issue of the water shortage that exists in
Harar. He claims that Harar is "surrounded by abundant
water resources," but that the problem persists due to
incompetence of the Harari leadership.
When one makes an accusation, it is only fair for that
person to at least do a minimal investigation in
search of the truth. Truth should never be casualty
in politicking for election and jockeying for power.
Rudimentary research would have revealed to anyone
that is interested in truth, that there is no
abundance of water that is surrounding Harar, as
claimed by Mr. Hibret. The only major body of water
that was in existence close to the Harari regional
state was Lake Alamaya. That body of water has dried
up at the moment, and is in no position to supply
water to the population of Harar or its surrounding
region. The residents of Harar are aware of the source
of the problem, and they know it is not from the
The Harari Regional state has managed to secure a loan
from Africa Development Bank (ADB), and is working
hard to resolve the long-term water needs of Harar.
The project is scheduled to be completed in the next
four to five years. Meanwhile it is incumbent upon all
Ethiopians and humanitarian organizations, no matter
what their ethnic and religious persuasions are, to
assist the residents of Harar by alleviating the water
shortage that they are facing at the moment. Building
water wells and providing other intermediary solutions
could achieve this. The budget allocated for the
Harari regional state is simply not adequate to solve
the existing water shortages.
Instead of threatening and inciting others against
Hararis, Mr. Hibret will be well advised to work with
all Ethiopians to preserve the beautiful heritage of
the Harari people, which in fact is an Ethiopian
heritage and treasure. Harar has a very good potential
to be a tourist attraction center for Ethiopia due to
its magnificent walls that surround it, its beautiful
artifacts, and its hospitable people.
Subtle threat of violence and incitement will not take
us anywhere, except to the path of disaster to the
entire nation. Harar is an important Islamic city with
spiritual importance to Ethiopian Muslims, and any
violence against its people will have grave
consequences for the entire nation in the long term.

Gourmet Vinegar: Garfunkel
Everybody knows the popular tune, "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme," sung by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. This Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme has been infused in a Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine Vinegar, and it's so good you'll be singing the song. This vinegar is good with pork, turkey, and lamb dishes, and potato salad. It also mixes well with a good olive oil to make a great low-cal salad dressing for your green salad.

West Nile case reported in region
A crow found in Herald, in southeast Sacramento County, has tested positive for West Nile virus, the first confirmation of the season in the region.
Lloyd Douglass, general manager of the East Side Mosquito Abatement District, said residents should limit exposure to mosquitoes by eliminating standing water, using insect repellent and wearing the proper clothing. Mosquitoes pass the disease. The East Side district covers most of the northern half of Stanislaus County, including Modesto.
"It is here, and it is going to stay here," Douglass said. "And we need to protect ourselves by wearing long sleeves, trying to limit our exposure to mosquitoes and by reporting mosquitoes when you notice them in your area."
He urged people to report pools at vacant houses and other instances of standing water and mosquitoes. Those who are infected sometimes develop an array of symptoms of which fever and headache are the most common, and some even die, although most experience no symptoms at all.
Having one bird with West Nile this time of year is not unusual. Douglass said birds have come up positive around the first of the year, some were probably sick during the previous season, but what would be unusual would be to have a number of birds turn up so early.
In addition to the crow in Herald, two test chickens in Los Angeles County and seven birds in San Diego County tested positive in January, said Lea Brooks, spokeswoman for the California Department of Public Health.
Sacramento (26) and Stanislaus (24) counties had similar numbers of human infections last year, according to the California Department of Public Health. San Joaquin County had 10 cases, Merced County four and Tuolumne County had none.
The disease picks up when mosquitoes are most active in spring and summer and falls off after the first deep freeze.
Last year, the first recorded victim in the Northern San Joaquin Valley was a 75-year-old Stanislaus County woman who became sick June 22. The last was a 60-year-old Stanislaus County man who became ill Oct. 19. One victim died, an 86-year-old man from San Joaquin County.
California recorded its first case of the virus in 2002.

put a pillow on it.
Winter in the Midwest means lots of chilly evenings curled up on the couch. Ingredients for such nights include a warm apple cider (with whiskey), a giant fluffy blanket, Netflix, and a pretty pillow for your pretty little head.
My current apartment scheme is all about yellow and grey. I'd gladly enjoy any of these pillows - a much simpler change of scenery than swapping out the couch.
(plus, your couch gets lonely while you're gone all day.)

Posted 12 February 2013 | By Alexander Gaffney, RAC,
US regulators frequently send warning letters to all sorts of companies for alleged violations and deficiencies; everyone from drug and device manufacturers, to institutional review boards, to small supplement manufacturers.
But rarely, as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did last week, do they send one regarding homeopathy products or to an online diploma mill-an unusual combination if there ever was one.
Homeopathic products are usually just water, with the original product diluted so many times as to be chemically absent or ineffective. Many critics claim the products "work" only as placebos. A 30X homeopathic solution, for example, would have just one molecule of active ingredient in a solution with one decillion molecules-that's one in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
In the UK, some homeopathic manufacturers have threatened to avoid regulations entirely by marketing themselves as confectionary products, turning this perceived weakness into a potential source of strength.
In the US, however, the products operate on a fairly well-established regulatory framework: The products can make general claims, but are not allowed to market themselves as curing or treating any specific disease.
A website hosted by the University of Berkley-an institution the Post Gazette referred to as a "notorious degree mill," and not to be confused with the University of California system's Berkeley University-though, seems to have violated that regulatory and legal framework by promoting a homeopathic flu product.
A 7 September 2013, warning letter sent to the school regarding its influenza prevention program references a website, since removed but available in cached versions online, that offered a "homeopathic flu product" that dubbed itself the "most effective alternative to the flu shot."
The university's website said people should protect themselves using the "Berkley-Body Immune" program, which it offered for between $90 and $170, depending on the amount of product purchased.
The website further claimed that unlike other products, which it said only treated the symptoms of the flu, its product treated the underlying symptoms of the disease using "energetic synergistic properties of the specific ingredients."
But even as the flu has been a "scourge to mankind for centuries," the webpage in question has been a scourge to federal officials since at least 11 January 2013, when it became aware of the website and began to investigate.
The website goes on to make the disclaimer that, "These statements have not been evaluated by FDA," and states that the products "are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."
But regulators said the webpage had done exactly that by positioning the product as an "alternative to the flu shot" that offered protection against the influenza virus.
"The marketing and sale of unapproved or uncleared flu virus -related products is a potentially significant threat to the public health," officials wrote in the warning letter. "Therefore, FDA is taking urgent measures to protect consumers from products that, without approval or authorization by FDA, claim to diagnose, mitigate, prevent, treat or cure Flu Virus in people."
The website was ordered to cease marketing, and has since been entirely removed from the university's website.
FDA's actions in regards to the flu virus are its second in as many weeks. On 30 January 2012, agency officials issued a rare, multi-agency warning letter slamming a botanical product that claimed to be effective and afford protection against the flu virus. That letter was sent in conjunction with the Federal Trade Commission and issued just days after the alleged violations were discovered-an unusual amount of speed for an agency that usually takes upwards of one month to issue a warning letter.
The agency has also been dealing with spot shortages of the flu vaccine as the US grapples with an unusually strong flu season. FDA said it was particularly concerned about Berkley's marketing of its homeopathic product as a way to circumvent those shortages.
"Health experts at Berkley recommend Homeopathic/Naturopathic treatment to prepare for the upcoming flu season due to shortage [sic] in flu vaccines," the website claimed.
Based on FDA's warning letter, regulators seem to have given the university's claim-along with its other ones-a failing grade.

This past Wednesday, March 8th was International Women's Day, and I was very glad to attend an event put on by African Women Development Fund (AWDF). They hosted an event on the topic of: Faith, Fundamentalisms, and Feminisms. The four women on the panel represented the ideas of Islam, Humanism, and Christianity, which brought a great mix of ideas and perspectives to the discussion. And to start out the evening we enjoyed a spoken work piece by artist Famia Nkansa.
Ghana, like many countries in Africa, is very religious. It is approximately 71.2% Christian, 17.6% Muslim, 5.2% Traditional Ghanaian Religions, 5.2% Non Religious, and 0.8% Other (source). With over 85% of the population being either Christian or Muslim, these religions do have a strong influence on feminism in Ghana. It was great to learn about how these religious identities can not only coexist with feminism, but also how they can enhance and inform someone's feminism. As Professor Mercy Oduyoye's shirt said "Jesus <3 Feminism". At the same time, it was important to discuss the issues around fundamentalism and how radical religion can affect women's rights.
The panel discussed everything from how their religion (or nonreligion) informed their feminism, to how they see the rights of the LGBTQ+ community as part of their feminism.
A discussion that was particularly interesting to me was around the gender of God itself. Was God a man, a woman, or a genderless being. For all three of the religious women on the panel, it was clear to them that God was a genderless being, and that humans had simply imposed male language onto God. Ms. Kauthar Khamis cited a passage in the Quran where she felt it was clear that Allah was being described as beyond human, and therefore beyond gender. However, for Roslyn Mould (the only non-religious person on the panel, and previously a Christian) it was clear that God was in fact a man, referencing the passage "Our Father, who art in Heaven". From one perspective, it was important that God be genderless, as this could be a pathway to greater gender equality in religious institutions. However, from the non-religious perspective, God being a man explains some of the deeply rooted misogyny found in religious institutions. In the end, Professor Mercy Oduyoye offered an insightful thought, stating that it doesn't really matter if God is a man or not, because "even if God is male, it doesn't make every male a god!". That was definitely something every panelist could agree on.
The panel also discussed the issues around fundamentalism within religions. It was an interesting discussion first focusing on what fundamentalism really means, and who gets to define what it is. Professor Angela Dwamena Aboagye mentioned that she has worked for women's rights for over 20 years, and was instrumental in opening the first women's shelter in Ghana, however, she does not support abortion rights. Because she will not work for abortion rights, she said many people have called her a fundamentalist, even though her work with the Ark Foundation has had such a positive impact on women's lives in Ghana. It was interesting to think about how even within feminism there can be fundamentalism, and to discuss what ideologies are truly fundamental to feminism, and what areas have room for a difference in opinion.
The panel then went on to discuss the harms of fundamentalism within religion. Professor Mercy defined fundamentalists as people "who believe that yesterday, today, and tomorrow should remain the same". Professor Angela agreed, adding that "fundamentalism divides". All of the panelists discussed the importance of the language used in the title of the event, noting that there are many kinds of fundamentalists and feminisms, and it is important to recognize that neither are singular ideas.
Near the end of the discussion, the moderator, Nana Akosua Hanson, opened up the discussion to questions from the audience. One of the questions that was most interesting to me was "how, as religious feminists, do we navigate the issue of LGBTQ+ people?". Professor Angela said that she was going to leave that question for the other panelists. However, Professor Mercy offered what I thought was great insight into this issue. She said it was important for us to ask "who benefits from their exclusion?". She said she "truly feels bad for the bigots who exclude LGBTQ+ people from religious and feminist spaces. When they [the 'bigots'] get to the gates of heaven, I wonder what they will say when God asks them 'why were you so cruel to LGBTQ+ people? Did I not create them? Were they not made in my image?'". Roslyn also spoke, noting that all evening we had been discussing strictly men and women, and she reminded us "as feminists we need to remember that there are also transgender people, and we need to fight for them too".
It was difficult to wrap up the conversation, as I think everyone in the room wanted to hear more from the panelists. I'm very grateful to AWDF for making space for this discussion. These topics can be difficult, messy, and definitely not black and white, but I believe it's important to keep discussing them so we can all learn and grow.
Happy International Women's Day!

MusicLab''s RealGuitar re-creates realistic guitar parts with authentic voicings. The onscreen fingerboard illustrates the chord positions in real time.
Acoustic rhythm guitar parts aren't easily played from a keyboard. Guitaristic chord voicings can be finger busters when laid out on a keyboard, to say nothing of the nuances of tone and articulation that most sampled guitars lack. MusicLab's RealGuitar 2L ($239) is a sample-based software instrument that does an impressive job of creating guitar parts and adds clever new techniques for triggering performances from your MIDI keyboard.
RealGuitar 2L is the flagship of the RealGuitar product line, which also includes RealGuitar 2.0 ($159). The latter has the same feature set as RealGuitar 2L minus its Pattern Manager and Pattern Library.
RealGuitar 2L runs on Mac OS X and Windows 2000 or XP. On either platform, it runs as a standalone application or as a plug-in (AU or VST on OS X and DX or VST on Windows). I tested it with a dual-processor 1.42 GHz Power Mac with OS X 10.4.6 and 2 GB of RAM. I opened it in Apple Logic Pro 7.1, Granted Software Rax 1.2.3, MOTU Digital Performer 4.6.1, and Ableton Live 5.02.
Take Your Pick
RealGuitar 2L comes on a single CD-ROM that includes the software and eight sampled guitars. You can choose to install the various guitars at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, or 192 kHz sampling rates. Thanks to the included Bank Manager mini app, the settings are easy to change at any time afterward. You also get a Quick Load button that buffers a portion of the samples, significantly reducing the RAM requirements and the size of loaded files. The samples are played back through RealGuitar 2L's custom 32-bit sound engine.
The sampled guitars include two steel-string acoustics, played fingerstyle and with a pick; a doubled steel-string; two nylon-string guitars (one picked and one fingered), and a 12-string. So many sampled 12-string instruments are merely 2-layered 6-string guitars tuned an octave apart, but RealGuitar's 12-string is accurately voiced, with the bottom four string pairs tuned in octaves and the B and E string pairs tuned in unison. The various guitars are detailed and warm, and contain every playable note of the instruments they're sampled from.
Despite the relatively small file size of the various sampled guitars (290 MB was the largest), they all reacted nicely to dynamics and conveyed subtle, seemingly random variations in tone — even when I looped a bar of step-entered 16th notes with the same pitch and Velocity. Attack transients shifted slightly from note to note, authentically simulating up-and-down pick strokes.
Call My Manager
The Pattern Manager accesses a library of strums and fingerpicking styles in Standard MIDI File format. When played through RealGuitar, they are no longer a static set of MIDI Note Numbers but instead move with the chords you hold down on the keyboard. RealGuitar maps the notes to proper guitar positions on the fingerboard, as the virtual fingerboard illustrates.
The library contains a generous collection of stylistically authentic patterns for such genres as flamenco, R&B, rock, pop, folk, and country. Both strumming and picking patterns are included.
RealGuitar 2L offers many easy ways to perform realistic strumming, guitar fills, solos, and more (see Web Clips 1 through 3). Buttons for strumming modes let you modulate from open- to closed-position chords. In most cases, you create authentic strumming parts by holding down a chord with one hand and tapping a single key rhythmically with the other. A separate set of keys lets you perform muting techniques.
To further enhance the realism, you can assign key, pedal, and Velocity switches to create hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides. You can hear a small amount of stepping in the slides, but that is the natural by-product of slides performed on a fretted instrument. You can control the speed and maximum interval of the slide. Depending on which key you strike first, you can slide up or down, hammer on, or pull off.
You access other sound enhancements from virtual knobs on the guitar display. These include faders for fret noise, release sounds, and pick transients. You also get built-in controls for tremolo and chorus. The thorough, user-friendly documentation includes an HTML-linked set of videos that illustrate basic performance techniques.
Getting Real
As a single-string lead instrument, RealGuitar 2L is considerably better than most other sample-based guitar emulations at evoking picked, monophonic lines. It also effortlessly outdistances its competition for solo fingerpicking and rhythm guitar emulations.
There is a lot more to explore with MusicLab RealGuitar 2L than this short review can cover, so I recommend that you download a demo copy at MusicLab's Web site.

- Focus on the Critical MBA Toolkit: Since we designed The Sustainable Innovation MBA from a clean sheet, we were able to select the most critical sets of core knowledge, skills, and capabilities that an MBA must know and include them in a redesigned format of one and two credit courses, each taught from the perspective of sustainable entrepreneurship. In addition, some of the "traditional" core content that could be easily learned remotely, is included in a carefully designed on-line module that students take before the actual start of classes. This allows us to bring everyone up to speed on the basics in areas like accounting, finance, and economics before you even start.
- Reduce or Eliminate Legacy Material: Like anything else, traditional MBA programs that have been in existence for a period of time have come to include material and content that might have served an important purpose at one time, but may no longer be crucial. It remains because it has become institutionalized as part of faculty teaching loads. With The Sustainable Innovation MBA, we were able to examine closely the curriculum and reduce or eliminate some non-essential "legacy" content. For example, with our focus on innovation and entrepreneurship, we were able to eliminate some content related to administration of on-going enterprises; we also significantly reduced the time spent on areas like factory optimization, queuing theory, statistics, and manufacturing. Finally, the traditional focus on extensive manual calculations and problem sets has been reduced in favor of knowing where to go to get the latest and best quantitative work done.
- Bring an Integrated Focus on Sustainability. What makes The Sustainable Innovation MBA truly unique is its integration of the social and environmental challenges that the world faces into each and every course in the curriculum. In addition, we have added substantial new content that typically is not included (certainly not required) in traditional MBA Programs, including a focus on world challenges, natural capital, clean technology, innovation through collaboration, leading for transformational change, base of the pyramid business, poverty contexts, and co-creation skills.
Traditional full-time MBA programs take two years, with the first year dedicated largely to "core courses" and the second year dedicated to electives in an area of specialization. So how does The Sustainable Innovation MBA deliver the critical content of an MBA program, plus a substantial amount of new material focused on sustainability and entrepreneurship… and do it in only 12 months?

Listen to the episode:
You are listening to episode 74 of The Dental Marketer Podcast! In this episode I speak with our wonderful guest Dr. Amanda Wilson. We discuss various topics and most of the topics are orthodox related, which makes sense because she has been doing ortho for over 10 years. We discuss the importance of really taking your time when it comes to new patients exams or recalls and seeing where the patient's dental health needs help. A lot of the times, the patient does not really think about malocclusion or misaligned teeth OR maybe the patient has always thought about the symptoms of malocclusion and misaligned teeth but never spoke about it or the patient really never thought about it in depth…. well we discuss how you can bring that up!
We also discuss the next wave in dentistry and what you should be doing to not be left behind! We know healthcare is changing and evolving, so we need to either stay ahead of it or align ourselves next to it… because if not we will get left behind! I like how in this episode we talk about how you can attract the right patients by accepting ortho or doing more orthodox in your office, and we discuss how you can show case this and market it to the community that way you can start attracting the right patients!

Lucy Wainwright Roche
- Get Tickets
- Details
w. Lily Detaeye
Those familiar with Lucy Wainwright Roche are aware of her bell tone voice, her unshakable melodies, and her knack for wise, wry lyrics that clench the heart. It's no surprise that Wainwright Roche is the daughter of Suzzy Roche (The Roches) and Loudon Wainwright III, half sibling to Rufus and Martha Wainwright. She grew up steeped in music.
But Lucy has carved out her own career as a touring singer/songwriter and recording artist, having sold over 50 thousand copies of her four critically acclaimed solo recordings released on her own label: Eight Songs, Eight More, Lucy, and There's a Last Time for Everything. Other recordings include a collaboration with her sister Martha Wainwright on Songs In the Dark, a collection of lullabies, and two duet recordings with her mother Suzzy Roche: Fairytale and Myth (winner of Vox Pop Independent Music Awards) and most recently Mud and Apples.
For over a decade, as a solo act, armed with a guitar, a deadpan sense of humor, killer songs, and a voice that makes tough guys cry, she's built a solid following across the US and Europe. As an opening act she has often appeared with such luminaries as The Indigo Girls, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Neko Case, and she's one of a few who can step out alone in front of a thousand strangers and play an entire set to a rapt audience.
Now, on her new release Little Beast (due out September 28th 2018) Lucy ups the ante with a dynamic, emotional recording masterfully and artfully co-produced with Jordan Brooke Hamlin. This collection of songs is an urgent and poetic call to a world gone awry. The journey from song to song is downright cinematic. One minute she eases us in with her flat-footed authenticity, and the next she lets loose with her wild side, and we imagine her howling at the moon. In Heroin, the first single from Little Beast, Lucy Wainwright Roche is hugging hairpin turns on the outside lane and you know it's true. Sometimes chasing love is dangerous business:
It's the Million Dollar Highway on a snowy day
It's why I had to go, it's why I longed to stay
There are many standouts on Little Beast: Heroin, Quit with Me, In Relation to Disaster, Trouble, Behind the Wheel, and Ohio is for Lovers are a few, but perhaps Soft Line, a wrenching plea to a lost love as it slips away, is the most haunting track. Simply put, the song is a dagger to the heart:
Watch out or the sun will set
On the picture we tried to get
On the story of why we met…
There's nothing "little "about Lucy Wainwright Roche's Little Beast. It's fierce, unflinching, and will undoubtedly place her squarely at the top of her game.
For Lily DeTaeye, there is no backup plan when it comes to her music career. A full-time student at the University of Iowa by day and full-time recording artist by night, her approach to songwriting and musicality shows that, despite her young age, she's no stranger to the stage or studio. With a powerful, soulful voice reminiscent of Norah Jones, and a diverse musical ability spanning indie folk rock to pop she's an absolute delight leaving her audiences reeling. Find Lily's new E.P. on Spotify now!

To say the past few months have been a whirlwind would be an understatement. From September to mid-November is my busiest time of the year. Fall and holiday family portraits are at an all time high those months. So my newborns take a back seat. I do still do a few, so I don't have to go cold turkey on my snuggly sessions. And this sweet boy was one of them. Oh how wonderful he was. Just look at these lips and those rolls. Just a tiny ball of perfection here.
I do have to admit, newborn photography is my passion. There is something just so endearing about knowing that these portraits will be cherished for decades. While today's type of newborn portraiture is not the same as when I was born, I still look back at my own baby images and show them to my children. Knowing that these images will be shared among generations is one of the best parts of my job.
Here are a few of my favs!

London - Failing to get a good night's sleep may make it harder to have a baby, research shows.
Researchers from the Hanabusa clinic in Kobe, Japan, asked 208 women who were having problems getting pregnant to fill in a survey known as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality index.
This assesses factors including how long they slept for, whether they woke up in the night, their disturbances, use of sleeping pills, their subjective sleep quality and how much alcohol they drank.
Based on the results, the patients were divided into three groups: no sleep difficulties (65 percent), mild difficulties (26.8 percent) and severe difficulties (8.2 percent).
The chance of eggs fertilised in the laboratory successfully growing into embryos was then assessed. The eggs of women with no sleep problems were successfully fertilised 62.9 percent of the time, falling to 57.1 percent in those with mild sleep difficulties, and 48.4 percent in patients with severe difficulties.
The researchers said: "Good sleep patterns can be one of the important daily habits for patients to improve their response to fertility treatments and increase their chances of pregnancy."
Occasional or moderate alcohol consumption had a positive impact on fertilisation, they found. This may be due to the beneficial effects of a moderate amount of alcohol, such as relieving stress and inducing sleep.
Professor Matthew Walker, of the Sleep Research Centre at Berkeley University in California, who was not involved in the study, said the findings were consistent with other research.
He said: "For example, women sleeping less than six hours per night suffer a 20 percent reduction in a follicular-releasing hormone – a critical female reproductive element that peaks just prior to ovulation and is necessary for conception."Daily Mail

What Is New In India's Rental Real Estate?
For a multitude of reasons, renting as a housing option never goes out of fashion. However, patterns keep changing constantly within India's rental real estate markets. In case you are wondering what is currently going on in this real estate space, a recent report by Housing.com has an insight to offer. Based on the traffic witnessed on the Housing.com site, the report talks about renting trends in seven major cities. The cities included in the analysis are Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune.
Let us look at the key findings of the report:
- Over 57 per cent renters in cities of Bengaluru, Gurgaon, Mumbai and Pune prefer to go with 1BHK units. Considering property in these cities is comparatively costlier, this makes perfect sense. Data available with PropTiger.com show the current average rate of property in Gurgaon is Rs 5,400 per square foot (sqft). In Bengaluru, you have to pay an average price of Rs 4,800 per sqft for property. In Mumbai, on the other hand, you have to pay Rs 8,200 for the same space. The average rate of property in Pune is Rs 4,700 per sqft. As property in these cities is costlier, rents are relatively higher, too.
- Over 40 per cent renters in Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata prefer 2BHK units, says the report. In Chennai, average rate of property is Rs 5,400 per sqft. Average rate of property in Kolkata currently stands Rs 3,800 per sqft. In Hyderabad, you have to pay an average rate of Rs 4,000 per sqft.
- Over 85 per cent renters in Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata opt for unfurnished apartment. In the remaining three cities of Gurgaon, Mumbai and Pune, the demand for furnished apartments is comparatively higher. In Gurgaon, for instance, 44 per cent renters prefer furnished apartments. In Mumbai, 27 percent renters prefer furnished apartments while 13 per cent tenants go for similar units in Pune.
- For the comfort and security that they provide, apartment units are preferred to independent houses by renters. The report says 61 per cent renters in the seven cities opt for apartments. In Gurgaon, however, 30 per cent renters go for independent homes. Similarly, 26 per cent people in Bengaluru go for independent homes.
- Renters of Bengaluru, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Pune prefer comparatively newer units that are not more than two-year old, says the report. In Chennai and Mumbai, renters are comfortable with older units, too, that are aged between five and 10 years.

Apicoectomy is a dental procedure used to eliminate an infection in the root of a tooth and adjacent tissues. It is carried out in those cases in which endodontics has not been effective.
When to perform an apicoectomy
If a tooth has suffered a traumatism and has changed color, this indicates that it has lost vitality from its internal part, which is commonly known as a dead "nerve". This process causes the internal part of the tooth to become infected, extending to the end of the root, often creating a cyst or granuloma. This cyst can emerge through the gum or will be detected through an x-ray. This also often happens when deep decay has infected the dental pulp (nerve) or after trauma to a tooth.
The initial treatment for these cases is endodontics, also called root canal treatment. This process tries to eliminate necrotic debris to cure the infection. But if with this method the problem is not solved, the next step is the apicoectomy.
The treatment of apicoectomy
Apicoectomy is a small intervention performed through the gum to access and cut the tip of the affected tooth, surgically removing the cyst and sealing the root with different materials. To finish, the area is sutured and over time the healing is completed.
This is a simple process and usually gives very good results, unless the root in question presents a fissure or small fracture, in which case the tooth is almost always condemned to its extraction. As always, diagnosis is the key to success

The number of employers struggling to fill positions is at an all-time high since the first Talent Shortage Survey six years ago, despite an unemployment rate that has diminished only marginally during the last year.The jobs that are most difficult to fill include skilled trades, sales representatives and engineers, found the survey of 1,300 employers. The survey also highlights the most common reasons employers are having trouble filling jobs, including candidates looking for more pay than is offered, lack of technical skills and lack of experience. RELATED ARTICLESAfter Mississippi ICE raids, job fair draws hopeful workers'Aggressive' discouraging descriptor to job candidates: ReportFeds invest $5.4 billion in skills training, labour market transitions in Quebec"The fact that companies cite a lack of skills or experience as a reason for talent shortages should be a wake-up call for employers, academia, government and individuals," said Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup president of the Americas. "It is imperative that these stakeholders work together to address the supply-and-demand imbalance in the labour market in a systematic, agile and sustainable way.

The nonprofit Discovery Channel Global Education Partnership (DCGEP) began principal filming this week on Inside Story: the Science of HIV/Aids in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The feature-length film, produced with the support of Pepfar, Chevron, Discovery Communications, the South African Department of Trade and Industry, Access Bank and Seacom, combines the best of fiction and non-fiction storytelling to unravel the mystery of HIV and empower millions with the knowledge they need to make informed health decisions.
Produced by South African production company Curious Pictures and directed by Rolie Nikiwe (Tsha Tsha, The Lab, Intersexions), Inside Story stars Kevin Mamboleo (Changing Times) as Kalu, a gifted footballer who moves from rural Kenya to urban Johannesburg to follow his dream. His path becomes more challenging when he falls in love with the coach's daughter, Ify (Kendra Etufunwa), and also finds out he is HIV positive. Newcomers Mamboleo and Etufunwa are joined by nationally and internationally celebrated stars including Hakeem Kae-Kazim (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Hotel Rwanda, 24) as Kalu's mentor and tough-as-nails coach, Fana Mokoena (Blood Diamond, Hotel Rwanda) as the ruthless team owner, and Regina-Re as Kalu's mother, Miriam.
Inside Story will demonstrate the science of how HIV works in a personal, practical and memorable way, replacing misunderstanding with facts and demystifying the virus through a realistic animated journey inside the human body. After production is complete, a comprehensive rollout of the film will include national broadcasts across sub-Saharan Africa and distribution through grassroots efforts of NGOs, schools and governments.
"Discovery Channel Global Education Partnership is dedicated to using the power of media to transform the lives of people around the world," said Aric Noboa, president of the Discovery Channel Global Education Partnership. "As production begins on Inside Story in South Africa and Kenya, we are shining a light on the unseen realities of HIV and Aids.
"Thanks to passionate and generous partners, world-class talent and support from around the globe, we will bring a unique approach to HIV/Aids education to audiences across the African continent."
Harriet Gavshon of Curious Pictures said it was rewarding to be working on such a project, with such partners. "Working with Discovery Channel Global Education Partnership on Inside Story has been an honour," she said. "It is important for us to find new ways to communicate life-saving information about HIV and Aids, and this film will do just that. We are delighted to be delivering such an important message with DCGEP."
Rhonda Zygocki, executive vice president for policy and planning at Chevron, added: "Chevron has been a leader in the global fight against HIV/Aids for more than 25 years. Our commitment to HIV/Aids outreach is powered by our partnerships with governments and nonprofit organisations around the world. We're proud to partner with DCGEP and sponsor Inside Story. One day, we'll defeat Aids – in our workplace, in our homes, our communities and our nations."
Additionally, DCGEP will provide facilitator training and guides, educational posters, and DVD materials for use by community and public health organizations, as well as schools throughout Africa, to reinforce Inside Story's messages in both urban and rural communities. The initiative will also include a dedicated website, extending the reach and impact to online audiences. Behind-the-scenes shorts are also being planned for Discovery's portfolio in South Africa to coincide with the release of the film.

Hey everyone and Happy premature Fourth of July!
It's hard to believe that a month of my time in Cambodia is already gone. I only have about three more weeks in the village and the days are coming and going quickly.
Since I last updated, I have started teaching english/bible classes on my own. In the bible class, we are going through a book on John the Baptist. The students love reading out loud and playing games with new words they learn from the book (I have a lot of fun watching them play the games too). They seem to be really enjoying it and I have had so much fun teaching the class as well! I must say, I think teaching has taught me more than the students are probably learning.
The church in the village is very close to Luke and Sokha's home. I usually just walk there on Sunday mornings. Sunday school for the younger students starts around 7 am, and they usually play a few games before it starts. They are so excited about it every week and the amount of students that come is very encouraging. Persecution for being a christian comes in the form of verbal abuse. The children's families often do not like the fact that they are going to a christian church and are involved in a christian ministry. Therefore, it is extremely encouraging and inspiring to see the children come to church and classes faithfully each week.
Since being in the village, I have learned many things. One of which is how to crochet. Sokha is teaching me and I have already successfully made a headband! Sokha has an outreach program in teaching some of the students how to crochet. Many of them have made Elsa hats from the movie "Frozen". I'm thankful that she is teaching me; I'm working on crocheting a hat right now!
Probably one of my favorite things each day is singing hymns at night and praying together with Luke, Sokha, and Hannah. There is something so so sweet about singing hymns together. I can't think of a better way to end each day. Luke and Sokha have made it feel like home for me, honestly. I am so thankful for them, and am learning from them every day. Sokha took me to the market in the village one morning this week to get a few things. It's very cool to see how fresh all the food is!
God is continually teaching me how to be content in every situation, how to be patient when it is hard, and how to have acceptance of His perfect plan.
Philippians 4:11-13 "Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me."
Matthew 6:27 "And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?"
Thank you for all your prayers and support!
