German Alpine skier Stefan Luitz has failed in an initial bid to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after the International Ski Federation's (FIS) decision to disqualify him from last month's giant slalom event in Beaver Creek.
He was bidding to provisionally delay the enforcement of the disqualification but CAS has ruled against him.
Luitz had claimed a maiden World Cup win at the American venue as he triumphed in the men's giant slalom.
An investigation was later launched by the FIS, however, after the 26-year-old was reportedly photographed using an oxygen tank between runs.
Such a practice is not banned under World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) rules but has been prohibited by the FIS since June 2016.
The German team admitted they had made an error, saying they did not think to check the FIS rules.
An FIS hearing last week ruled that Luitz had violates rules prohibiting the use of scientific and medical equipment when he inhaled the supplemental oxygen between the two runs.
Their judgement saw Luitz stripped of his victory and the World Cup points earned at the event, as well as trophies and prize money.
Luitz launched an appeal to CAS to provisionally halt the enforcement of the FIS ruling.
Had he succeeded, the 100 World Cup points he earned would have boosted his starting position for the giant slalom in Adelboden, which took place on Saturday (January 12).
The CAS rejecting his appeal meant the points were not included.
The FIS have stated his disqualification from the event "is not a sanction, but a consequence of the rule violation".
The governing body said the violation carries no further consequences.
Reigning Olympic and world champion Marcel Hirscher finished as the runner-up to Luitz and will move up to first place.
Switzerland's Thomas Tumler moves up to second, while Norway's Henrik Kristoffersen completes the rejigged top three.
Luitz, who fought back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in 2017, will still have the option to appeal the FIS decision to CAS.

Shareholders in the Building and Energy divisions will be able to vote on their companies' separation from FCL at special meetings in late January.
But Fletcher Forests isn't being separated from FCL. It will be kept under the group's wing as a "residual asset," so shareholders won't be required to approve the plans FCL has made for the division.
Had it been earmarked for separation, as Fletcher Building and Fletcher Energy are, FCL would most likely have been required to obtain approval from 75% of its shareholders. The High Court will decide what voting measures are necessary for the other two divisions but it is thought unlikely to depart from the 75% rule it adopted for Fletcher Paper.
Fletcher Forests shareholders will get to vote on the $427 million rights issue aimed at recapitalising the division. But they will do so along with the shareholders in the other divisions, who outnumber them two to one. And a majority of only 50.1% is needed.
Rumours of a recapitalisation of the debt-burdened division surfaced only about 10 days ago but before that all predictions were for a sale.
FCL chief executive Mike Andrews has confirmed the company did receive formal bids for Fletcher Forests.
But after choosing recapitalisation and plucking the intellectual property eyes out of Fletcher Forests for new company Rubicon, investors have dumped the stock and slammed management.
Fletcher Forests' share price had hovered around 80c since March on expectations of a sale but has since plunged 46% to a low of 43c.
A range of US buyers were touted and in August market buzz that a Japanese or Malaysian bidder was about to make an offer sent the stock up to $1.30.
Some brokers also had a part to play in raising investor expectations, with values of up to $1.50 a share being casually bandied about.
Angry Fletcher Forests investors have vented their anger on the Sharechat website with comments such as "I feel done," "screwed by Fletchers again" and "FCL leaks."
But one analyst said investors had only themselves to blame if they mistakenly expected a trade sale as being the only option for the Forests division.
He said it was understandable small investors should be attracted to Forests as it was considered the "cheapest" of the Fletcher Challenge stocks.
"With Forests' debt problem and ongoing legal battle with Citic it should have been apparent that selling off the division was going to be a difficult task," he said.
That investors are being asked to fund part of the recapitalisation of the division in a two-for-one rights issue worth $427 million is rubbing salt into the wound.
The new shares will significantly dilute Fletcher Forests' value, with a fully diluted, asset-backed value of 70c a share being close to most analysts' predictions.
The total recapitalisation will be worth $557 million, with offshoot company Rubicon stumping up $90 million via a share placement.
Fletcher Forests debt to capitalisation ratio will then fall to 13.5% from 34.7%.
FCL management had said for some time that innovative assets within Fletcher Forests weren't being factored in by the market when valuing its shares.
It has assured they will be with the establishment of Rubicon.
But analysts said the future for a pure forestry company, albeit using products licensed back to it which it used to own, was extremely uncertain.
A good indicator of that uncertainty is being played out by Carter Holt Harvey, 50% of whose assets are forests, with its market-bucking log price leadership strategy.
Both Fletcher Challenge Forests, the company's new name, and Carter Holt Harvey must battle to get a return on forest assets they are widely perceived as having paid too much for.
Their forests are on the verge of maturing while logs are at record low prices.

M.M. v. PFIZER, INC., et al.Published on Nov 16th, 2017
The petitioner, M.M., an infant, by her mother, is one of nineteen minor plaintiffs who alleged that they sustained birth defects from their mother's use of the prescription anti-depressant Zoloft. The respondent, Pfizer, manufactures and markets Zoloft. The remaining respondents, Roerig and Greenhouse, are both affiliated with Pfizer. Roerig is a former division of Pfizer, while Greenstone is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer that sells an authorized, generic Zoloft. In the case sub judice, M.M. contended that the 2009 labeling information for Zoloft did not warn prescribing physicians that the use of Zoloft during pregnancy was linked to an increased risk of birth defects and that women should us contraceptives while taking Zoloft.
Subsequent to its filing, the case was referred to the West Virginia Mass Litigation Panel. In 2015, M.M. filed an amended complaint asserting specific claims for strict liability, failure to warn, and negligence. Thereafter, the respondents moved for summary judgment. In considering the motion, the Panel concluded that Michigan law governed M.M.'s claims; that federal law operated to preempt the exception to Michigan's failure to warn immunity where the subject drug has received FDA approval; that no genuine issues of material fact remained in the case; and that the respondents were entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Accordingly, the Panel granted summary judgment to the respondents, by order entered August 30, 2016. It is from this adverse ruling that M.M. appealed to the Supreme Court.
1. Whether West Virginia, not Michigan, law applied to M.M.'s claims.
2. Whether Michigan law, if it applies, is preempted by federal law.
3. Whether the trial court erred by granting summary judgment where, as M.M. contends, Pfizer knew of the dangers of Zoloft use during pregnancy, generated reports suggesting contraceptive use while taking the medication, and realized the import of the possibility of birth defects by specifically including contraceptive warnings on its European packaging for the drug.
The Supreme Court began by noting that there was no dispute that the injuries alleged by M.M. and the infant's mother all occurred in the State of Michigan and, therefore, Michigan law governed M.M.'s failure to warn claim under the lex loci delicti provisions of W. Va. Code § 55-8-16(a) (2011). The Court then took note that Michigan law, specifically Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. §§600.2946(5)(a-b), forecloses a failure-to-warn claim if the drug is approved by the FDA and the manufacturer complied with the FDA's labeling requirements, which was the case here. The Court also addressed M.M.'s attempt to rely on the fraud exception to the Michigan statute, but concluded that M.M. had not alleged that the FDA itself had acknowledged perpetration of the fraud as required to meet the statutory fraud exception.
With respect to M.M.'s claims of strict liability and negligence, the Court upheld summary judgment regardless of whether those claims were governed by Michigan or West Virginia law. The factual underpinning for the Court's holding stemmed from the fact that M.M.'s claims of strict liability and negligence centered on Pfizer improperly failing to include contraceptive and/or birth defect warnings on its labeling. The Court held that this was simply a rehash of M.M.'s failure-to-warn argument and, therefore, under Michigan law, those claims would also be governed under 600.2946(5)(a-b).
The Court went on to hold that, even if West Virginia law governed under Mills v. Quality Supplier Trucking, Inc., 203 W. Va. 621, 624, 510 S.E.2d 280, 283 (1998), summary judgment was still proper with respect to strict liability and negligence because M.M. simply rehashed her failure-to-warn theories in support of those claims and, therefore, Michigan law applied under principles of lex loci delicti. With respect to negligence, the Court held that "to recognize such a claim under West Virginia law where the same already is foreclosed in the same case by the law of another jurisdiction, would contradict the full faith and credit due our sister jurisdictions. The Court held that, "[i]n other words, because M.M.'s failure to warn claim is governed by Michigan law, and the governing Michigan statutes provide that a manufacturer cannot be held liable where it has complied with the FDA reporting, disclosure, and labeling requirements, there exists no duty that could have been breached so as to establish a claim for negligence. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the Mass Litigation Panel's granting of summary judgment to the defendants.
This decision reiterates and reinforces the lex loci delicti provisions of W. Va. Code § 55-8-16(a) on product liability claims brought by nonresidents against manufacturers or distributors of prescription drugs. This decision seems to comport with a national trend towards restricting the locales and courts in which defective drug claims can be brought by nonresidents, and serves as a guidepost when considering how best to successfully pursue such claims--in West Virginia or perhaps in another, more appropriate jurisdiction.

Before picking up Nick Spencer and Ramon Rosanas' Ant-Man Vol. 1: Second-Chance Man, the last time I had seen its star Scott Lang was in the pages of FF.
There he had a sleek Mike Allred-designed costume -- perhaps the best Ant-Man costume of them all – and was Reed Richards' hand-picked choice to lead a temporary, back-up Fantastic Four and a school for young super-geniuses, The Future Foundation, in case something should happen to the team while they were exploring (something does). Ant-Man began dating Johnny Storm's ex, the beautiful young pop star Darla Deering, and went on to plan and execute the defeat of Doctor Doom, the world's greatest villain.
Wait, scratch that. That was the last place I saw Ant-Man Scott Lang in comics. The actual last place I saw him was at the movie theater, where he was a down-on-his-luck, good-hearted ex-con trying to do right by his daughter using his shrinking powers.
Guess which one of those two takes the new Ant-Man comic more closely resembles?
If you guessed that of the movie, you might just have what it takes to some day be a Marvel editor!
Now, it should be said that Second-Chance Man, which collects the first five issues of the new Ant-Man series (which is actually the entirety of it, as the comic will relaunch in the fall with a new #1 and new title but exact same creative team following Secret Wars), is actually very good.
If you read Spencer's The Superior Foes of Spider-Man, and you really should have, then you already know how good Spencer is at writing fun, funny comics about the C-lister characters operating on the periphery of the Marvel Universe. Like Superior Foes, Ant-Man has as its protagonist and narrator a perpetual loser trying to finally make good, and whose primary obstacles are his own character flaws and some of Spider-Man's lamer villains (The Beetle from Superior Foes shows up in the first issue, and The Grizzly becomes a supporting player).
Lang lands a job as head of security for one of Iron Man's companies, but has to flake when his ex-wife moves with his daughter Cassie to Miami, and he decides to follow. Employing The Grizzly and a bunch of ants, he starts his own small business, Ant-Man Security Solutions.
He and Cassie get swept up in a dangerous plot involving The Taskmaster and Darren Cross (who's right where he was the last time he appeared in a Marvel comic, and who, it is surely no coincidence, is also the villain in the movie). Neither Cassie nor Scott die – which is good, as they've both been dead and come back to life before – but it's still a remarkably down ending for what is otherwise a superhero comedy.
As Steve Lieber did in Superior Foes, Rosanas' artwork is remarkably realistic and straightforward, which naturally accentuates the absurdity of many of the characters and situations; the visual delivery of the gags is thus pretty deadpan. Unlike Lieber, Rosanas' art doesn't have the imaginary flights of cartoony fancy that often appeared in Superior Foes, but then, Ant-Man doesn't really need them. Because the character's powers are so fantastic, realistically rendering their often-imaginative uses makes for more than enough visual pop (like a scene of Ant-Man living in a toy set, because he can't afford rent; or shrinking down to brush his teeth inside a tube of toothpaste, thus making it last longer).
So Ant-Man, Vol. 1? Great comic. Four stars. Two thumbs up.
I'm fascinated by its relationship to the movie vs. that of the Marvel comics that preceded it, however.
Spencer seems to have had a pretty good idea of what the movie would entail, given how closely his book resembles it (a key part of his plan to save Cassie? A heist), and Ant-Man traded in his cool Allred-designed helmet for a new costume that more closely resembles that of the film.
And there's nothing wrong with that. It stands on its own as a great read, and this is surely the best thing a comics retailer can suggest to someone who comes asking for an Ant-Man comic, because they've just seen or heard about the movie. But as someone who read all of FF right to the end, I kept getting knocked out of this story by its strained relationship to continuity. Why is Tony Stark treating Ant-Man like such a nobody? (OK, this is Superior Iron Man, I guess, but let's not get into Axis and inversions or we'll be here all night.) Why won't the Fantastic Four and the Avengers won't help him save his daughter's life? (His daughter who was, remember, also an Avenger, albeit a "Young" Avenger and part of The Initiative.) All his rich friends -- the other three members of his Fantastic Four were a New York lawyer, a pop star and the queen of The Inhumans -- and no one will lend him enough money to buy a shirt and pants? (He never takes his Ant-Man costume off, as he doesn't have anything to change into.)
Spencer acknowledges continuity very selectively. He mentions Scott's time with the Avengers and Fantastic Four in passing (and in a way that doesn't really line up with those comics). He makes a joke about death's revolving door, and there's a bit about Cassie possessing Pym particles, but you wouldn't know that she's been a size-changing superhero off and on since 2005 from this book alone.
Meanwhile, when Spencer wants to reference specific stories in Scott Lang's past, he does so with nods that require asterisks and narration boxes pointing you toward decades-old issues of Iron Man. One need not have read any of these to follow the story, of course, but in a comic that barely acknowledges where Scott Lang was a few years ago, it's strange to see characters and plotlines from the '80s informing the story.
I suppose that's just the way Marvel comics are being made now, and will likely continue to be made, as long as the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" is extant and so much more influential and popular than the Marvel comics universe. It's a pretty big adjustment for a long-time comics reader to make, though, given that the shared-universe setting and history of Marvel's comics are inextricably woven into them all.
In this case, I guess we're lucky that the task of making an Ant-Man comic that so closely resembles the Ant-Man film fell to such talented creators, and that the resultant work is a book that stands so well on its own.

Government of Canada invests in more research to study effects of cannabis on drivers
News release
July 3, 2018
Ottawa, Ontario
Public Safety Canada
Drug-impaired driving has been on the rise since police-reported data became available in 2009, and it is a major contributor to fatal road crashes in Canada. According to a 2017 Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction-led study, there is substantial evidence indicating that driving after cannabis-use increases collision risk significantly (Estimating the Harms and Costs of Cannabis-Attributable Collisions in the Canadian Provinces, 2017). However, more needs to be done to gather evidence on how exactly cannabis impacts drivers.
The Honourable Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, today announced that Public Safety Canada is providing $919,065 over three years to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) to help advance scientific knowledge on the impacts of cannabis on drivers ranging in age from 19 to 45.
This study will use simulated driving to help:
- Determine how increased levels of THC (the main active ingredient in cannabis) in blood and oral fluid can impact a driver, including his or her ability to anticipate hazards; level of risk-taking behaviour; reaction time; and position and speed on the road.
- Identify differences that may exist between the ages and genders of drivers, THC levels and driving impairment.
The results of the study will further inform Government of Canada's policy on cannabis and driving, and public education and awareness material about the dangers of drug-impaired driving. The study will be completed by June 2020.
"Drug-impairment is a serious concern today – it's a major contributor to fatal road crashes. To combat this potential deadly risk, the government is investing in new training and new tools for law enforcement, strengthening our laws and raising awareness about the dangers of driving while impaired by cannabis. We are also investing in new research to help better understand how cannabis impacts drivers and inform our work to keep our roads safe."
– The Honourable Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
"While we have known for a long time that cannabis use affects our ability to drive, more in-depth and targeted knowledge is necessary to set limits for blood concentrations of THC. This research will enable us to set such limits, comparable to those which were set for alcohol several decades ago."
– Professor Bruna Brands, Research Scientist, Health Canada and Collaborating Scientist, CAMH
"One of the key recommendations of the CAMH Cannabis Policy Framework is the need to develop a comprehensive strategy to prevent cannabis-impaired driving. This research is an important component of an evidence-informed approach to prevention, education and enforcement."
– Dr. Catherine Zahn, President and CEO, CAMH
Quick facts
- Drug-impaired driving is illegal in Canada and will remain illegal after cannabis is legalized and regulated.
- The number and rate for almost all drug-impaired driving violations increased in 2016. In total there were 3,098 drug-impaired driving violations in 2016, 343 more than the previous year. (Statistics Canada, Juristat, July 24, 2017)
- Among Canadians who have used cannabis, 28 per cent reported having operated a vehicle while under the influence. (Baseline Survey on Awareness, Knowledge and Behaviour Associated with Recreational Use of Marijuana – Final Report, Submitted to Health Canada, EKOS RESEARCH ASSOCIATES INC. September 2, 2016)
- Law enforcement officers are trained to detect drug-impaired driving using Standard Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) evaluation; and enforce drug-impaired driving laws.
- Since July 2008, under the Criminal Code, police can perform compulsory roadside checks and assessments, using Drug Recognition Experts, if they suspect a driver has drugs in their body. Failure to comply with the demand may result in criminal charges.

Microsoft is reported to be working on the iOS version of its popular Word Flow keyboard that would include a unique arrangement of the keys facilitating one-handed typing operations.
While most mobile keyboards come with the feature that allows keys to be shifted to one side to facilitate typing with one hand, what has caught the attention of the geeks is the way the iOS version of the Word Flow keyboard is laid out.
The keys radiate out from the bottom left or right edge of the display to be arranged in a series of concentric circles which makes all the keys to be within reach at all times.
Apart from the way the keys are arranged radially, the rest of the details with the World Flow keyboard are almost identical to its Windows Phone counterpart. It includes means to access word suggestions, emoji and so on.
It's still a work in progress thing, though, but the fan-like layout should be unique in that even the Word Flow keyboard available for Windows phones does not include such a feature. The Windows version that made its debut with Windows Phone 8.1 is a standard QWERTY keyboard that shifts along either side as per user preference.
The Word Flow keyboard still has its advantages in that it enables fast typing by allowing users to slide over the keys much like what Swype came to be known for. So much that it even earned Word Flow a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the fastest texting keyboard. That the crown didn't last long is a different thing – being overthrown by Flesky not long thereafter – what remains undeniable is the ease of operation that the World Flow keyboard came to signify.
Currently in its Beta testing phase, there is no word though as to when the keyboard will debut on the Apple platform. However, an Android version is almost a surety thereafter.
Keyboard apps that allowed for one-handed operations became more sought after Apple launched the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, it's biggest ever with a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch display respectively. Samsung and LG, which had been in the phablet market for much longer already, offer such keyboards that shift to one side right out of the box. Similar apps that offer one-handed operation on the iPhone include Fleksy and Minuum.

Students can design our future
What's the Next Big Shift? From bike share programs to online paperless banking, almost overnight, innovations are changing how we shop, commute, learn, access entertainment, and connect with others. These big shifts have had local, regional, even global reach.
Tomorrow's leaders and decision makers can take action, today. We invite post-secondary students to answer our call to action to design and pitch their ideas to launch the next big shift in our daily lives at WWF's annual Designing Change for a Living Planet conference.
How it works
Each school year, students from all academic disciplines are invited to apply to join WWF staff and professionals from different industries to create and share their ideas on how to build a sustainable future.
Drawing inspiration from the everyday and each student's unique academic background, participants will have the opportunity to:
- Represent their campus
- Create and innovate with WWF and their campus team
- Connect with post-secondary students and staff from other colleges and universities
- Develop new contacts with professionals from different industries
- Present concepts to WWF staff and a panel of expert judges
- Compete for a team prize
Are you interesting in answering our call to action and representing your campus? Stay tuned on how you can get involved in this year's Designing Change for a Living Planet 2020.

- Some Fridge Logic at work here: Daniel was offered a chance to invest in Casio back when it was a fledgling company. He was very skeptical, thinking the Japanese could never build decent wristwatches. The information came from the son of an executive at Casio, who told Daniel to buy stock when it was a low price of six US dollars. Had Daniel chosen to invest, couldn't he have been arrested and incarcerated for insider trading?
- Maybe that was Daniel's fear; scoffing at the ability of the Japanese was just an excuse. Which admittedly isn't that great a lesson.
- You'll notice that most of the cases against Daniel are money-related - at one point, he exasperately shouts, "I get it! It's all about money" It isn't. It's just trying to test his limits.
- And no, the SEC won't come down on one friend telling another to invest in a company. Insider trading is larger scale, dealing with companies, not friends.

while walking hand in hand
around the golf course with my
adorable and handsome husband,
I thought to myself
"This is a perfect day."
Despite the fact that
I was having contractions
(just practice!),
despite the fact that I was waddling,
despite the fact we were lapped by several people
walking and running,
it was beautiful.
The sun was out,
and there was a nice cool breeze.
It just reminded me of this month,
a month where its warm,
but slightly cool.
A month where leaves begin to turn,
but we can still go swimming.
And suddenly it came upon me
and I thought
"I can't wait for September."
I said it out loud.
Then Spencer told me I have issues.
I know dear, I know.

Someone in chessvibes.com found the mistake in the players rating - both were rated the same - 2787. Actually Magnus official FIDE rating now is 2775 where as Ivanchuk is rated 2781. photo from chessvibes.com
Vassily Ivanchuk - my favourites player beat the leader of the tournament -Magnus Carlsen in round 7. Vassily control the game from the begining when Magnus made a mistake on move 13. The game is more one sided from that point although there's risk that Ivanchuk would lost on time in the end but he eventually managed to win the game quite easily.
Former World Champ - Veselin Topalov suffered his first defeat to the resurgent - Levon Aronian. Meanwhile World Champion Vishy Anand seems to play caoutisly in this tournaments when he setteled down for another draw against Radjabov.

Dry EyesIn dry eye syndrome, the quantity or quality of tear is abnormal. This results in damage to the surface of the eye, eye irritation, foreign body sensation and blurring of vision. Age, hormonal changes, certain systemic conditions, certain systemic and eye medications, eye surgery, and eye conditions such as blepharitis, allergic eye diseases, disorders of the eyelids and loss of sensation of the eye surface can result in dry eyes.
BlepharitisBlepharitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the eyelids due to excessive sebum secretion clogging the tiny oil glands located near the base of the eyelashes. Bacterial overgrowth can worsen the condition. This causes eye irritation and redness. It is not contagious. Excessive sebum secretion or skin conditions like acne rosacea can cause blepharitis.
Pterygium A pterygium is a triangular fleshy growth on the white part of the eye. It may encroach onto the cornea, the clear covering of the eye, in advanced cases.Long-term exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun as well as dry and dusty environments are some causative factors.
Eye InfectionsEye infections are eye conditions caused by microbiological agents. They cause the eyes to become red and swollen.Eye infections can be caused by exposure to viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites. Contact lens wear, blepharitis, allergic eye conditions, trauma, or close contact with someone having viral conjunctivitis can cause infections.
Floaters and Flashes Floaters are spots, cobwebs or squiggly lines that move around in your field of vision. They are more obvious against a white or bright background. Flashes are the perception of flashing lights or lightning streaks. They may be brought on by rapid eye movements.Floaters are usually due age-related degeneration of the jelly (vitreous gel) within the cavity of the eye. Other less common but potentially sight-threatening causes include bleeding into the vitreous gel, retinal tear, retinal detachment, infection and inflammation of the eye. Flashes are due to the vitreous gel pulling away from the retina and this causes the false perception of light.
Retinal TearsRetinal tears are full-thickness breaks or holes in the retina, the light-sensitive layer lining the back of the eye.Retinal tears can occur when the jelly of the eye (vitreous gel) pulls away from the retina. Ageing, high myopia, eye surgery, eye trauma, eye infections and inflammations can cause the gel to separate from the retina, resulting in pulling on the retina and possibly tearing it.
Retinal DetachmentRetinal detachment occurs when the retina, the light-sensitive layer lining the inside back portion of the eye, separates from the eye wall.Retinal detachment usually develops due to retinal tears. Fluid from the vitreous gel enters through one or more tears and causes the retina to be separated from its underlying layers. Ageing, high myopia, eye surgery, eye trauma, eye infections and inflammations can cause the formation of retinal tears and retinal detachment. Retinal detachment may also develop due to uncontrolled diabetes affecting the eye and causing retinal scarring and pulling on the retina.
In dry eyes, any underlying aggravating eye or systemic condition needs to be addressed. Artificial tears and ointments can help alleviate the symptoms of dry eyes. Topical cyclosporine can increase the production of tears. In severe cases, steroids and occlusion of the tear drainage system may be necessary. Reducing exposure to air-conditioning and wind, less contact lens wear and using a humidifier or moist chamber goggles are also helpful.
To treat Blepharitis, warm compresses of the eyelids, lid scrubs, topical antibiotic medications and artificial tears are helpful. Mild topical steroids or systemic doxycycline therapy may also be necessary.
Early pterygium can be left alone and observed. The irritative symptoms can improve with the use of artificial tears. When the pterygium becomes cosmetically unacceptable or causes significant visual blurring, surgical removal is recommended. Surgery involves removing the fleshy growth and grafting an area of conjunctiva (translucent layer covering the white of the eye) over the excision site to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Treatment for eye infection is dependent on the cause of the infection. It usually involves topical medications but may sometimes include systemic therapy.
New floaters and flashes require a full eye and retinal examination to exclude serious and potentially blinding conditions which require urgent treatment. If they are a result of ageing with no retinal complication, usually no treatment is required and the floaters may become less noticeable over time. However, if the floaters are persistent and visually disturbing, laser vitreolysis can be considered.
Retinal tears are treated with laser to seal the break and prevent the retina from separating from the wall of the eye (retinal detachment).
Urgent surgery is usually required once retinal detachment occurs. In very early, limited retinal detachment, barrier laser photocoagulation may be performed but this is not suitable in every patient. Surgery may involve scleral buckling, vitrectomy, laser or freezing therapy. Success of surgery ranges from about 80 to 90 percent with the first operation. Additional surgeries may be necessary in some cases to reattach the retina successfully.
In mild, early cases, epiretinal membranes can be observed. When it results in significant distortion or blurred vision, the membrane can be peeled away with surgery (vitrectomy). Success of surgery in improving vision ranges from about 80 to 90 percent.
In dry AMD, modification of risk factors such as stopping smoking, reducing UV exposure by wearing UV protection sunglasses during outdoor activities, increasing the intake of fish and green leafy vegetables and exercise can be helpful. Nutritional antioxidant supplements may also reduce the risk of progression from dry to wet AMD. In wet AMD, the current gold standard of treatment is regular injections of anti-VEGF medications into the eye to keep the disease under control.
In Diabetic Retinopathy, Laser treatment (panretinal laser photocoagulation) is necessary in patients with severe NPDR or PDR. Serial injections of anti-VEGF medications into the eye has largely replaced focal laser as the first-line treatment for swelling of the retina or macula. When bleeding into the vitreous gel or retinal detachment has occurred, surgery is required.
Treatment depends on the type and severity of glaucoma. It involves the use of topical anti-glaucoma medications, laser treatment or glaucoma surgery.
In mild, early cases, cataracts can be observed. When they result in significant blurring of vision to affect activities of daily living or quality of life, surgery to extract the cataract and artificial lens implantation can be performed to restore vision. Different types of artificial lens implants are available and some can correct astigmatism and old-sightedness (presbyopia).

#24 - Vimal Gor - Bond
Update: 2019-05-31
Vimal Gor is the Head of Bond, Income and Defensive Strategies at Pendal Group, formerly known as BT Investment Management. Vimal is the first bond-focused investor to be profiled for The Australian Investors Podcast and I think you'll agree he is very intelligent and articulate, delivering complex ideas in a very concise and thoughtful manner.
At the time we recorded this episode, Vimal oversaw the management of around $19 billion with his principal focus being the protection of wealth. As always, we talk about Vimal's early life and career, lessons learned, why he was drawn to bond markets, his role today, how his team identify opportunities and the outlook for multiple assets classes in Australia and globally.
I trust you'll enjoy this conversation with Vimal Gor of Pendal Group.

Sky in the Deep is not released until April 24, 2018, so this will definitely be a spoiler-free review. The setting is a re-imagined historical fiction/fantasy about Vikings. Eelyn is seventeen and a warrior in the Aska clan. During a battle against an enemy Riki clan, Eelyn discovers her brother, Iri, thought dead, is actually still alive and fighting against her clan on the battle field.
From the blurb at Goodreads: Faced with her brother's betrayal, she must survive the winter in the mountains with the Riki, in a village where every neighbor is an enemy, every battle scar possibly one she delivered.
Essentially, this is a story about how everyone is similar and the hate and prejudices you hold are against people who underneath their differences, are just like you – with families, hobbies, hopes, fears, etc. It's about the love of family and friendship. It's about the love of the heart found in unlikely places.
I will admit, this book did not hook me until about halfway through. But, it ended up being emotional and Eelyn and the other characters finally cracked through my shriveled bitter heart.
Eelyn was hard to like at first. I wanted to give up because she was SO angry and stubborn, it didn't make for easy reading. But thankfully, just as my heart thawed, so did hers.
This is Young Adult, but there is violence (it is a Viking culture after all). I think people will enjoy this story. So check it out on April 24th!
Thank you Netgalley and publisher for the eARC to read and review!
Review also found at Goodreads.

We are headquartered in Bangalore, India, with an ability to execute across the country.
This was Altsoul's first experience putting up a booth at an event of any kind. We didn't know what to really expect. But the experience at Fit.Bengaluru was beyond seamless. Right from the time we booked our booth, to all logistical requirements Carun and his team were proficient in solving for it. As sponsors, we got ample visibility with our videos being broadcasted on the big screen, as well as engagement with event attendees. What stood out for me was how tastefully the event was executed. Every class conducted, every talk given was of the highest quality. If other fitness events are the McDonalds and Subways of the word, the Fit.Bengaluru event was the Michellin Star experience of the fitness world. I guess the quality of a group class comes to down to the vibe and the energy the instructor brings to the table, and the trainers who were brought in for the event apart from being very skilled were also able to engage with the audience at a level i've rarely seen. Despite being hit by torrential rain on Day 1 of the event, none of the classes had to be cancelled or rescheduled, the team was extremely proficient in executing their contingency plan. Looking forward to more events from your team Carun. To jettison in the fitness revolution we need more events such as this.

July, 2018
Dear Friends,
Have you ever had a plan in mind and at the end of the plan realize that the result wasn't exactly what you
thought it might be? That sounds just like life. Think about where you are today.
Did you plan to be in this place, doing whatever it is you are doing? I wonder if the saints planned to be saints?
Did the apostles know that they would help spread the new church?
At the end of her life did Bernadette wonder how it all happened? All she wanted was fire wood.
Who gave these people the strength to do extraordinary things? Why did they cooperate with
God's plan and not just continue their own?
The thing is when we cooperate with God's plan astonishing and wonderful events occur.
Looking back, we know that it was God and we just permitted him to use us.
On the other hand, when we don't allow God's plan to proceed and we follow our own the results
are usually mistakes, if not catastrophic, causing all kinds of negative events. The choice is always ours.
Do we choose God's will or our own? How do we recognize God's plan? Think about that for a minute.
We invite you to continue listening to the Lord, as Mary requests, by attending three days of prayer to St. Ann and
St. Joachim, Jesus' grandparents, July 24, 25 and 26. There will be 7:00 PM rosary followed by Mass. Fr. Peter Kovacina
will be conducting the Triduum. In August we also remind you of the novena for the Assumption from August 7th through August 15th.
Are you serious about doing the Lord's will? Then take advantage of our prayer opportunities. Join us!
Please join us for our steak roast to be held on July 21st. Reservations are due by July 15th.
Tickets are $20 pick up a flyer with more information. We really need your help. Thank you!
In the Trinity,
The Sisters of the Most Holy Trinity
Prayer for Vocations
Holy Mary, you were so generous and immediate in giving your yes to God, inspire young women and
men to follow your example by voicing their yes to God as you did. As a Mother, we respectfully request that
you petition your Son for us, to awaken in the hearts of young people the courage and insight to follow His way
of life as a Religious. If we may be so bold, dearest mother, may we petition that these young people are guided to
help carry on the work of all Religious Orders, but most especially the Order of the Most Holy Trinity?
We ask that as we ask all things through your Son Jesus. Amen

Prayer Intention:
O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament Divine all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment thine!
This moment has infinite options. Commit to one and follow through on it.
Seek to make the best choice, but don't put all of your energy into merely making the choice. Decide, and then act on your decision.
You may not always make the perfect choice, or think of everything that could go wrong or go right. But go ahead, make the choice and then move forward with it.
You're likely to have doubts, second thoughts, third thoughts. As those thoughts come, keep taking action anyway.
A one-hundred-percent perfect plan is of no use if the plan is not executed. So put thought into crafting a reasonably good plan and then direct your energy into making it happen.
Embrace life's many options, but don't let the endless choices overwhelm you. Pick a specific path, act on it, and transform your choice into real value.

The opioid crisis has been devastating the United States for over twenty years now. Unfortunately, one of the reasons the crisis has been so severe is because the data has been significantly flawed. Greg joins Linda Poon, Assistant Editor at City Lab, to discuss her article "The Race to Learn What's Really Happening in the Opioid Crisis." Poon speaks to the city of Cary, NC and how it is using an experimental robot called the Biobot to mine data. One of the ways Cary is tracking and gathering data is by placing the Biobot in manholes around the city to collect samples of wastewater. These sewage samples are being tested for the concentration of opioid metabolites, which is what gets flushed out of the system after the person consumes opioids.
The point of this day is to make new progress and enrich all of life. Get to the point and get it done.
You're here in this time and place to make a positive difference. Get to work doing what you're here to do.
Let your strong sense of purpose pierce through the complexity, distractions, difficulties and temptations. With unwavering focus, do what you know is best, what is meaningful, what is good.
If you discover you've wandered a little off course, don't waste time letting it bring you down. Just reorient yourself in a purposeful direction, and step forward with an even stronger commitment.
You have great things to get done today. Get to the point, stick with it, and enjoy the sweet fulfillment of your focus and persistence.
This very moment overflows with potential value. Get to the point, and make that value yours.

Dear Friend, June 11, 2018
We hope that all is well with you and your family. We at Our Lady of Lourdes
Shrine would once again like to invite you, to The Knights and Lady Knights of
Our Lady of Lourdes Annual Steak Roast. We hope that you had the chance to
attend last year and can return this year. Of course please bring a friend or friends.
The Steak Roast will take place on Saturday, July 21, 2018 from 4:30 PM to 6:45 PM
(serving times). All tickets will be sold by reservation only, due by July 15, 2018,
RSVP only no refunds. The menu will consist of a grilled 8oz. steak, corn on the cob,
baked potato, salad, dessert, bread and butter and coffee or tea. One ticket will be $20
for the dinner and a chance at three $100 drawings to be held 5:30 PM, 6:15 PM, and

tickets for the $100 raffle at $5 per ticket. The price for the basket raffle this year will be
one ticket for $1.00 and 6 tickets for $5.00.
It takes an astronomical amount of funds to just maintain the Shrine. Because of the
age of the property every year we continue to have many unforeseen problems. The water
lines, like old arteries, continue to need repair. So, we appreciate the support that you give
us by attending these fundraisers. Thank you for your generous help.
If you feel so inclined and it is within your means, then please sponsor a Sister by paying
for their ticket. Thank you if you can. Enclosed you will find a reservation form. Feel free to
copy that form for your friends. All of you remain in our prayers.
God's blessings,
The Sisters of the Most Holy Trinity
Take note of the attitude you've carried into this day. Is it helping you right now, or hurting you?
Is your attitude pushing you toward what you wish to achieve? Then you have an excellent day in store.
But what if your attitude is hindering you, blocking you from fulfilling your intentions? Do you think you could set it aside for a while?
Your attitude right now is yours to choose. If that attitude is not serving you well, you're entirely free to immediately change it.
Yes, it really is that easy. Once you decide to have a more positive attitude, it is already yours.
So if necessary, make that decision, and upgrade your attitude. It's free, it's quick, it's easy, and it's very much in your best interest.

Do yourself a favor and do the difficult, unpleasant stuff first. Get it out of the way so you can more fully enjoy the rest of the day.
Do yourself a favor and let go of your resentment toward whatever you have to do. Resentment hurts you, brings you down, serves no positive purpose, and you can easily do without it.
Do yourself a favor and forgive those who have wronged you, slighted you, or done anything to offend you. Forgive, and enable yourself to move on beyond the pain.
Do yourself a favor, and do something just because you love to do it. Express the joy of being alive in the most authentic way you can imagine.
Do yourself a favor, and let gratitude fill your heart. The more you can be thankful for, the more abundantly you will live.
Do yourself a favor, and seek new ways to be kind, considerate, generous, and genuine. Life is what you give it, so give life the best of what you want it to be.

and powerful devotional initiative within the Catholic Church to recognize and bless the work of priests serving
the faithful the world over.
Each of the participating shrines in 50+ countries prays a particular mystery of the Rosary at a particular half hour on the day:
In thanksgiving to God for our priests and to implore the protection and loving care of Our Lady, Mother of all priests,
for all her priestly sons.
With the coming of midnight on the 8 June 2018, the entire world, by then, will have been encircled in prayer for our priests
on this The Annual Rosary Relay Day.
It was the great Irish priest Fr. Patrick Peyton who never tired of
saying that: 'The Family that prays together stays together.'
As the family of the Church, you are invited to join your prayers to the prayers of millions throughout the world on June 8, 2018.
It is an opportunity for us to raise our hearts to God for all priests in the exercise of their ministry; that they will be blessed,
through our prayers, with God's grace for their priesthood; that in this worldwide communion of prayer for them,
they may experience our gratitude and support; and finally that they will persevere in unity with Christ and his Church and shepherd
the Lord's flock to the safe pastures of his Kingdom.
NOON at the Grotto

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) will soon announce its plans to have its iPhone become a central remote control as part of a larger connected home platform, according to a report from the Financial Times.
The report, citing unnamed sources, said Apple will unveil its plans at its Worldwide Developers Conference, which starts June 2. The report added that Apple's connected home platform will use hardware from other device makers, in contrast to its traditional approach of keeping software and hardware platforms integrated and internal.
However, Apple has started to branch out from its vertical integration model with is CarPlay platform, which allows auto makers to connect their systems to iOS devices.
According to the report, Apple will give connected home device makers a badge confirming their compatibility with its forthcoming system, once they pass certain privacy safeguards and quality checks, just as it does for iPhone accessories.
It's unclear how the iPhone will control functions in a smart home like turning off the lights or changing the thermostat, and whether it will require a user to buy new appliances. The platform could rely on Apple's iBeacon technology, which can detect when an iPhone comes into range, as The Verge notes.
The smart home market is still largely fragmented. The AllSeen Alliance is working to develop wireless protocols that will let devices from different hardware makers communicate with each other. But most wireless players have been tentative about their embrace of the connected home. One exception is AT&T Mobility (NYSE: T), which has started testing third-party products that integrate with its Digital Life home security and automation services, though the carrier said it is soon to say when the third-party integration will be commercialized. AT&T now offers Digital Life in 81 markets.
Meanwhile, in other connected home news, Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Nest unit is considering moving into the home-security market and has pondered buying connected camera-maker Dropcam, according to a report from The Information. The report, which cited unnamed sources, said that the status of any talks between Google and Dropcam isn't clear, and spokespeople for both companies did not respond to requests for comment. Dropcam makes a $150 camera that streams security footage to phones and computers.

Today is a particularly poignant day in my life. It's exactly a week until my birthday (eeek!) and also the anniversary of my mother's passing. Six years ago she left this world and yet, to this day and forever more, I am eternally grateful to have had her in my life for almost 30 years. Up until today, all of my Words Crush Wednesday quotes have been about food. I find it fitting that today I break that cycle, just this once, to honour my forever-favourite person. Were she here to read my blog, she would keel over at the very idea of me cooking and actually knowing what I'm doing! I think she would probably need a stiff drink.
This incredible woman was steadfast in her support, loyal to the very end, humourous in every way and had the greatest heart I've ever known. Her boundless love, compassion, capacity to forgive and pure heart I carry with me today and every day. If I could be just a quarter of the person she was, I would consider myself a successful human being. Her love and dedication to her family is something I never saw neither before her death or since. This woman, a shining light in the lives of so many, is my very own angel and I carry her with me forever in my heart. Six years may feel like an impossibly long time, an eternity even, but it's nothing compared to the true eternity we will share when we meet again. This gives me great solace. In the meantime, I live every day trying to make her proud, to be true to myself and those I love and to hold my head up high. Such is the profundity of my love for her, she is still, and always will be, my anchor and the light of my life.

Have you ever heard of the Black Wall Street? It isn't a very well-known place in this day and age primarily because of two reasons. One, it existed in the early 1900's in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Moreover, it was undoubtedly the most affluent all-Black communities that ever existed. Considering the general status of the African American community, it would be very difficult to fathom that, in the early 1900's, Black Wall Street had 21 churches, 21 restaurants, 30 grocery stories, 2 movie theatres, a hospital, a bank, a post office, libraries, schools, law offices, a half dozen private airplanes, and a bus system. Of course the area was bombarded and destroyed in the span of 12 hours. The most important question that one may ask regarding the Black Wall Street is that how was it so successful?
It is said that the dollar circulated about 36 to 100 times and a span of a year before it left the community. The secluded society flourished due to trust, faith, and cohesiveness of its members. The properties of a successful community were effectively applied and produced profitable results, both individually and collectively. This is what the Muslim community is deeply in need of at this time.
Ask yourself this question: If you had a choice between selecting a Muslim vs a non-Muslim professional (plumber, accountant, physician, teacher etc), who would you rather choose? If you prefer a non-Muslim, don't worry; this is a very common theme among members of our community. Where did this lack of trust come from? More importantly, does this foreshadow an even bigger concern?
In Psychology, it is very well known that lack of self-trust is a precursor of distrusting others. Trust, much like other important qualities such as honesty, care, and compassion, initiates from the self and propagates to the environment. If you find it difficult to trust others, perhaps it is due to lack of self-trust. Can you honestly trust your intentions, impulses, and judgments? Have you caught yourself lying and breaking promising you made to yourself? Can you count on yourself to deliver your promises?
The good news is that self-trust, much like other qualities described above, can be strengthened. It begins with a solid recognition of your self. Furthermore, self-assessment and self-evaluation will help you to recognize who you are, what your purpose in life is, what your strengths and weaknesses are, and how you may overcome the obstacles in your life. As you begin to build this system of trusting yourself, you will notice a decrease in despair, self-doubt, and hopelessness. Allah (SWT) has eloquently stated in the Quran: "DO NOT despair from the mercy of Allah…" Indeed, despair is not only a sin but also leads to a decline in progress. Allama Iqbal has stated:Na Ho Naumeed, Naumeedi Zawal-e-Ilm-o-Irfan Hai Umeed-e-Mard-e-Momin Hai Khuda Ke Raazdanon Mein Despair not, for despair is the decline of knowledge and gnosis: The Hope of a Believer is among the confidants of God.
In order to maintain a stronger sense of self, one must continue on the process of self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-knowledge. Once this self-trust has been established, it will emanate from our personality and intertwine with our interactions among the community members. It will lead to increased trust of others and empowerment of our community as a whole. We pray that Allah (SWT) helps us throughout this process. Ameen.

Today's a big day. We had a doctor's appointment at the high-risk doctor, and then we had a meeting with to very special, very important people at the hospital. Our appointment was at 7:30 again this morning. The last time we saw you, you weighed 2 pounds and 14 ounces. You are now 3 pounds and 4 ounces. Way to go, bubby! The doctor said that you are looking good and I didn't have to come to their office anymore if I didn't want to. In 3 more weeks, I'll be 38 weeks. As much as I'd like to say good-bye to 7:30am appointments, I think I want one more report card from you, buster, before you get here! So we made our last appointment in 3 weeks. Our last appointment. I'm so excited to meet you!
After we finished up at the doctor's office, we went and got some breakfast and then headed back to the hospital. We are meeting a fantastic husband and wife team. The husband is the Neonatologist in the NICU and the wife is the hospital chaplain. At some point after your birth, one of these fine people will be at our side. We got to talk to them for about an hour. They were so impressed with you. The doctor asked us if we had any questions and I told him that I didn't really know what to ask. He said the NICU doctors had a meeting last week and they talked about you, Charles Patrick! You're so popular. I can't believe it is still weeks before you get here and the doctors already know you and are preparing for you. I am so impressed. The doctor told us that you have a hole in your heart just between the two chambers. He said this isn't immediately fatal and a baby can sometimes live up to 2 months. Two whole months?? I would be in Heaven. I would give anything for just 2 minutes with you. Two whole months would be a gift from God. Mommy and Daddy told them about our wishes for you. They both thought our decisions were very courageous. You could see in their eyes how much they were touched by our love for you. I loved learning just a little bit more about you today. I am so happy that everyone is on board for you. Everyone is ready to get you here safely. You are amazing and everybody knows it!

5 june 2018
For this week's #ConnectWithContent, we want to address one of the most pressing needs of the modern workplace: a proper health policy.
Being healthy is important. People are paying more and more attention to their health. Mens sana in corpore sano (a healthy mind in a healthy body) has become the key to success. More and more entrepreneurs, managers and self-employed workers realize that a healthy lifestyle goes hand in hand with a healthy business. However, we still have a long way to go.
According to research conducted by Belgian life insurance company NN,
- the working Belgian's physical age is, on average, 6.1 years older than his/her actual age
- the amount of burn-outs and long-term illnesses is increasing
- 57% of Belgian workers is unhappy with their company's health policy
In other words, an elaborate, durable and carefully thought out health policy has become fundamental for modern businesses, not just for employers and employees, but for the economy as well. Even small changes can have a major impact on productivity and well-being. In the 'Gezonderboek', a health book published by NN (available in Dutch here: http://bitly.com/gezonderboek), several CEOs share what they are doing to move towards a healthier work life. Here's how our captain Katrien Devos makes the difference:
- "It is important to create an environment that allows people to pursue a healthy lifestyle. Install showers, order weekly fruit baskets, monthly massages,… "
- "Set goals together: join a race with your colleagues so working out becomes a priority and something to strive for."
- "Organize active meetings: meetings on location, meetings while boating, running, or walking in nature".
And Katrien puts her money where her mouth is. Past team-building activities include mud rungs, ski trips, bike trips, jogs, etc. She's not afraid to engage her team in physical activities. Also, Katrien even got into boxing to raise money and awareness for colon cancer.
Are you happy with your company's health policy? What is great about it and what can be improved?

Is It Time For Your Spiritual Awakening?
"What we need most is to listen to our own inner voices, our souls, and to choose how we really want to live and what sort of people we will be." –Ilchi Lee
Of all the incalculable numbers of websites out there, the fact that you happened to find your way to this particular blog post is definitely not a coincidence.
Whether you're conscious of it or not, something inside you is seeking. Seeking what, exactly? That is the question, indeed. You probably can't put your finger on it, but something is missing or seems "off" in your life as of late—or maybe, it's always felt this way.
You've no doubt tried to make changes in your life, both big and small. Maybe you've started small; you changed your hair, or your wardrobe. Perhaps you expanded from there—you improved your diet, or traded in your car for something different. Maybe you've gone to extremes and even changed careers or relationships.
And yet in spite of all of this, your life still feels unpleasantly familiar. Why?
Perhaps… what you seek is profoundly deeper than all of this.
Think about it.
Deep down, your soul knows that it's time. There's nothing to be afraid of; it's time to begin your journey! Come to Sedona Meditation Center for a spiritual awakening retreat.
But I've Never Done Anything Like This Before!
Absolutely no experience or prior knowledge is necessary! We promise.
Even if you've never tried connecting to your spiritual self in any capacity and feel like you have no idea what you're getting yourself into, it's absolutely okay. Our team of highly qualified and compassionate trainers and support staff has extensive experience working with individuals just like you.
We are all here to help guide you toward connecting you to what we like to call your True Self—the essential you that exists regardless of what kind of car you drive, what kind of home you live in, what kind of job you do or did, and what kinds of roles you play in your day-to-day life.
What Can I Expect?
For the most part, that's up to you—the retreats at Sedona Meditation Center are highly customized depending on your particular needs and desires. Again, you do not have to have any former experience.
You also do not have to be in pristine physical condition to be able to participate in most of the activities we will recommend you incorporate into your schedule while you are here with us. If you have particular health concerns or mobility issues, please feel free to contact us—we can most likely accommodate you.
Some of SMC's retreat activity offerings:
· Tai chi
· Yoga
· Meditation
· Leisurely hikes to Sedona's red rock vortexes
· Visit sacred sites in the area, including Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock
· Red rock picnics
· Learn self-healing techniques
· Discover and deepen your connection to your True Self
And much, much more.
