How can my association recruit more volunteers? Considering many groups only have a few paid staff and rely heavily on volunteers and members to operate, recruiting is essential. It can also be a difficult process. To help out, we put together a short list of tips to assist your recruitment efforts. Use the following strategies to keep your volunteer pool growing.
Ask. This is the simplest tip we can give. Many people enjoy volunteering, but you won't know until you ask. Additionally, asking for volunteers with specific skills can be an efficient way to find the right people for the job.
Not now doesn't mean never. Don't take "no" or "not now" as a rejection. Maybe they're tied up with another activity or can't make it because of a schedule conflict. Continue your efforts — you will find the right people at the right time.
Offer variety. In our post, How to Recruit More Volunteers for Your Association, we highlight the importance of offering a variety of volunteer opportunities with different time commitments. Some members will be ready to take a dive into volunteering while others may have very limited time and may only want to volunteer from time to time. It is important to give your volunteers options.
Social media. This post from Verified Volunteers makes an awesome point — social media is a great place to promote your association. Use the platform to build excitement around your work and promote opportunities to potential volunteers.
Make it easy to sign up. Take a look at your sign up process from the eyes of a volunteer. Is it easy? You need to determine if this process is helping or hurting you in your recruitment efforts. If it isn't easy for people to sign up, that may be a sign you need to change things up.
Keep track. We can't stress the importance of this enough. Using a tool like AMO is a great way to keep track of who, where and when someone has volunteered. This knowledge gives you insight into who might be interested for different volunteer opportunities throughout the year.

Diabulimia is a type of eating disorder in which patients of Type 1 diabetes intake less amount of insulin purposely, in order to lose weight. This disorder, however, is not a formal diagnosis. The disorder may be defined as disturbed eating behavior.
Our body requires insulin for moving glucose from the blood to the cells. In type 1 diabetes patients, the pancreas stop producing insulin and glucose gets stored in our bloodstream. This causes extra stress on the kidney in getting rid of excess of sugar. The body gets devoid of glucose and the calories associated with it and a rapid loss in weight occurs. Patients develop binge eating, with more emphasis on sugar and carbohydrate enriched foods. The excess sugar gets out of the body by urinating.
The symptoms of this disease are:
Health hazards of Diabulimia
It has been proven by research that almost 30% of type 1 diabetes patients are the ones who abstain from or avoid using insulin in order to lose weight. This habit leads to the risk of many other fatal diseases which may be permanent in nature. Dibulimia is more common among teenage girls who suffer from type 1 diabetes and are generally obsessed with body image. Diabulimia is an eating disorder which leaves a patient at risk of acquiring many other severe diseases. It is advised not to neglect your insulin. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a doctor and ask a free question.

One of my favorite things to do is our leadership "Impact Sessions." A group of leaders take Select Assessment® for Healthcare Leaders (SAHL), which measures 18 specific leadership behavioral traits. Then we meet to identify:
The biggest challenges facing their hospital/system
The biggest barriers to success – with a specific focus on how:
The group works together
Various levels of the organization work together
Individual and behavioral strengths and weaknesses manifest themselves
These sessions are always engaging. The group gets to understand the underlying behavioral gaps that are at the root of persistent operational challenges. Here's an example from a recent Impact Session:
The senior team of this smaller community health system identified their biggest challenges:
Maintaining market share and profitability
Creating structures for leaders and manager accountability
Effective communication to the staff and the ability to have productive, difficult conversations
A few findings stood out from their recent employee engagement surveys:
Managers reported that leadership's attempts to create a culture of "accountability" felt more like a culture of retribution when managers don't meet goals.
Staff and managers value their day-to-day work with colleagues. They do not, however, feel valued by the system.
The SAHL results across two groups – Senior Leaders as well as Managers/Supervisors were examined and compared. A few things stood out:
Many of the long-tenured senior team members were strong in planning and organization, accountability, analysis/interpreting information, and results driven.
They scored low in positive impact, openness to new ideas, social awareness/sensitivity, and delegating and empowering.
By contrast, mid-level leaders and managers scored lower in accountability but high on innovation and adaptability.
What does all of this mean?
We are looking at a group of senior leaders who are smart, driven, organized, and expect results. They feel accountable to the system and expect others to be accountable. They are not necessarily great communicators, particularly when it comes to tough messages, and they don't tend to look for new ideas or to naturally empower people. There is a disconnect between this group and how managers function and think. The managers are not naturally accountable, want to feel involved, and want their ideas to be valued and considered. This last point is relevant because this organization has been working to adopt "lean" thinking. Like many hospitals though, rather than building a lean culture, lean seems more like another project.
The Result:
Senior leaders are trying to hold managers accountable. Managers do not respond well because of their innate behavioral traits. As the leadership group does not communicate particularly well or provide a sense of empowerment, "accountability" feels to managers like programs being imposed upon them. So, when they fail to meet goals, there is retribution. The goal SHOULD be that managers and leaders feel like they are in this together and are working together for the benefit of patients.
Similarly, lean culture would encourage front-line staff and managers to always be looking for ways to improve processes – albeit within the lean structure. This group feels, however, that their ideas and innovations aren't valued because they are presented to a senior team who doesn't naturally value innovation or new ideas and aren't adept at empowering subordinates.
Related: Three Steps to Building an Innovative Culture
There was a light-bulb moment for the senior team. They could see the frustration they were causing. The outcome?
First, enhanced awareness can lead to behavioral changes on the individual level.
Second, the team identified group and individual development and training initiatives to address specific issues. (Training and development is a worthwhile investment, but only when it's targeted and designed to address identified gaps.)
Third, we started building the profile of leaders of the future for succession planning and near-term leader and manager selection situations.
These sessions are great examples of the power of healthcare-specific, leadership level assessments. We aren't telling a leader he or she is "an introvert," have "low EQ," or that they are a certain personality "type". Rather, we are examining the specific behavioral traits that impact effectiveness, in a very practical manner. We can combine this information with any past performance data and "perception" data by way of our 360 tools to really understand leadership potential and performance gaps so we can make leaders successful.

In case their name wasn't enough of a deterrent already, you really don't want to mess with a killer whale.
Also more gently known as "Orcas," these massive beasts are like warriors of the ocean. And they give a whole new meaning to the old saying "floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee."
A video shot near Hornby Island, B.C. captures just how quickly these predators can yank their prey right out of the ocean. As a pod of orcas is seen hunting for food, one of them spots a sea lion in the distance. Within a fraction of a second, the whale springs from the ocean, snatches the helpless animal, and drives it into the deep.
Here's the real kicker though: the video was shot from a kayak. You know, one of those rocky, one-person things you have to paddle? How this person was able to watch this feeding frenzy go down and still feel comfortable sitting in a dinky boat remains a complete mystery to us. But who knows, maybe they'll consider Sea World next time.
Check out the video above.

A Flood Tide of Mercy
The Prophetic Ministry of St. Faustina
By: Ann Bottenhorn
Eighteen-year old Helen Kowalska had things on her mind as she attended a dance in Lodz, Poland. She was doing her best to forget them, dancing gaily with her sister and friends, when her merriment came to a halt. As she later wrote, "I suddenly saw Jesus at my side. Jesus racked with pain, stripped of his clothing, all covered with wounds, who spoke these words to me: 'How long . . . will you keep putting me off?'"
For eleven years, Helen had been hearing God's voice inviting her to "a more perfect life." She wanted to respond by entering...

My SIXTH wallpaper! :D This time, it's Princess Ai
Yes, I've read the manga and it's GOOD. I was just kinda confused in the end. I don't really get that part 'cause there is no sequal (is that how you spell it?) to it. (Or is there?) The author kinda just stopped the story. Dunn get it ~_~ But, still, the story was really good (not to mention cute. AixKent forever <3)
Now, for the wallpaper. Not bad if I do say so myself. It's kinda simple though. I tried to fix it, but it just ended up being uglier and not how I wanted it. (I wanted the other "faded" pictures that are behind the "wall" to show so it kinda had a "memory" feel to it.) I didn't really want "wall" either. It sounds too...uhh...ugly? I wanted "curtain", but the wall behind Ai is not a curtain, so I had to change it to wall. It's still okay though, I think.
Well, Enjoy

Q: I'm thinking of retiring in about six years. I have a condo that is rented. I want to buy a house, not in the same town where I have the condo. Should I buy a house now or wait until next year? In my opinion, the market is good now to buy, but my concern is that if I wait too long, the home prices and interest rates will go up. –Mercedes
A: To be perfectly frank, I'm not a big fan of timing the market, in general. Most people wait too long to get the deal they thought they would if they timed it just right, and it makes much more sense to try to align your real estate buy with your life than with the market, in any event.
In your particular case, however, if you're just trying to decide between this year and next, my advice is to go ahead and begin the mortgage-qualifying and house-hunting process now, for several reasons.
First things first — you can't buy a home with no money. And the mortgage loan qualifying process has grown very complex, difficult and drawn out over the past few years, even for people who are truly creditworthy. For that reason, even if you were planning to buy a home next year, I'd be telling you this is the time to touch base with a mortgage broker, have them pull your credit, and work out an action plan for addressing any potential financing bumps in the road.

I did not genuinely want to want to do a bunch of back finish coding to make my website look complete and expert.
If the theme doesn't function – oh, you have coders for employ or you have a bajillion plugins.

a little old back in the new school
The Dodge Charger and Challenger are two of the most well known American muscle cars of all time. They have appeared in countless movies, sometimes even together. Although these iconic rides have seen a great deal of change over the years, they still uphold that original muscle car heritage. You can see much of the original design in today's models wrapped up in a modern package that delivers more performance than ever.
we love shaker hoods
Interested in reliving those fast track moments? Well we got you covered. Dodge offers a new Shakedown Package that you can find on the 2018 Dodge Challenger R/T models. As you might have guessed by the name it is a hood shaker package that will dramatically increase that aggressive look and offer a bit of a performance upgrade. These packages include the R/T Shaker, R/T Plus Shaker, and 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker. A 392 Hemi? Sign me up! Included in the Shakedown Package is an asymmetrical black racing stripe that is subtle but adds that custom touch. Can't forget about those white gauges and alpine audio system that will be sure to further heighten the driving experience.
plum crazy
Are you huge Mopar fans like we are? I say that because some of the retro factory colors are being offered in both the Charger and Challenger models. If you think of Mopar you might remember my favorite color of all time PLUM CRAZY. You know that deep purple that looks killer with a shaker hood and matte black stripes straight from 1970? Yeah that purple.
b5 blue
Maybe purple isn't your thing (even though it should be) and you prefer the B5 Blue paint color. It falls along the lines of an electric blue and is absolutely gorgeous, especially when the sun hits it at that perfect angle. Put a little old back in the new school for a killer combination of retro looks and modern performance.

Best Stephen King horror moviesList by yo-adrian
Stephen King has to be the most prolific writer of horror movies in the modern era. So many of his books (and even short stories) have been made it onto the big screen that his name has earned the title of the king of horror. One of his short stories, Children of the Corn, spawned 10 feature-length films (and another on the way). This list contains some of my favorite Stephen King adaptations.

User talk:Kingjeff/Archive
Hello Kingjeff!
Welcome to Wikitravel. Please take a sec to look at our copyleft and policies and guidelines, but feel free to plunge forward and edit some pages. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub.
If you want to sign your name type ~~~; to sign your name with the date and time type ~~~~; and to just add the date and time type ~~~~~ into the text of the article you are editing. The ~ get replaced when you save the page. -- Huttite 22:44, 17 Dec 2005 (EST)
Bad Reichenhall[edit]
If anyone can put some photos up of Bad Reichenhall and help me comform to wiki standards. I would appreciate that. Kingjeff 21:21, 27 Dec 2005 (EST)
The Bad Reichenhall page is almost done. Just a couple photos and a little bit more info would be good. Does anyone know German and French? Because those 2 sections don't have any Bad Reichenhall page.Kingjeff 16:36, 29 Dec 2005 (EST)
When I use the strike, I seem to strike other stuff that I don't want on top of what I wanted to strike. Can anyone teach me how to use it properly? Kingjeff 21:42, 27 Dec 2005 (EST)
ok. Thanks. Solves the problem. Kingjeff 15:01, 29 Dec 2005 (EST)
User Talk Page Etiquette[edit]
I notice you are deleting talk page discussions from your talk page that you consider complete. While this keeps the talk page small and tidy, it is bad manners. It also makes others wonder if you are really understanding what we are telling you or if you are simply being arrogant and ignoring us. I do not think this is the case, just that you are not aware of how removing text looks from another's viewpoint. Consider how you would feel if someone else removed your comments from their talk page with no explanation.
If you want to clear inactive discussions off your talk page you can create a sub-page such as User talk:Kingjeff/Archive and copy the text of all your old discussions there. Leave a link that points to the archive at the top of your talk page. That way we can all see what we told you in the past and don't repeat ourselves in the future. It also looks professional. -- Huttite 17:03, 29 Dec 2005 (EST)
ok. ok. I'll archive it for now on. Kingjeff 17:25, 29 Dec 2005 (EST)
Where the !!!! is Frankfurt/Oder![edit]
Where is Frankfurt/Oder? The wiki says it is a suburb of Frankfurt! Please do not use the / construct as part of a name unless you refer to a city/district. Use a - or a space to separate double banger names like this.
The article is not helped by the lack of content. There is only a template, no other information. There should be something more. I notice you have written a few articles like this. If you are going to write article like this, at least say place is in region or country. It IS part of the template. -- Huttite 20:29, 31 Dec 2005 (EST)
Talking to anonymous users[edit]
There is generally little point talking to an anonymous user on their IP address. No-one gets a warning that a message has been left. Many are on transitory IP addresses such as dialup ports. Unless they know enough to watch recent changes like a hawk they will not see their message in a timely way. It is better to leave a message on the talk page of a article or just ignore the edits and make cleanup changes later. But if a vandalising user is persistent just welcome them with a reasonably polite note, no need for too many extra comments. That way the vandals are easily identified in recent changes as they have blue talk links. And remember it is New Year's. -- Huttite 22:37, 31 Dec 2005 (EST)
My February 2006 nomination[edit]
Why is my nomination being deleted? I have cleary chosen Berlin as my nomination for February 2006. Kingjeff 23:39, 1 Jan 2006 (EST)
Striking DotMs[edit]
Can you explain what you are trying to do by striking out nominations in the DotM page? If you want to withdraw a nomination because you now think the article is not good enough, the correct way is to move it into the Slush pile. Jpatokal 22:54, 1 Jan 2006 (EST)
Please explain moving Wurzburg on Talk:Wurzburg before moving it. The name has not been decided and Wurzburg is a valid spelling, unless there is another place called Wurzburg and Wuerzburg. I reversed your move to continue deliberations. -- Huttite 19:20, 15 Jan 2006 (EST)
DotMs and "support"[edit]
I don't know how many times I have to explain this to you. Choosing a DotM is not a question of "supporting" one article, the point is to give comments to all articles, and comments stay valid even if the article is not chosen for next month. What is your objection to this? What are you trying to say by striking out your previous comments? This should only be done when you had an objection which has now been fixed. Jpatokal 20:10, 31 Jan 2006 (EST)
Am I not allowed to change m mind? Kingjeff 20:17, 31 Jan 2006 (EST)
Wikipedia Administrators[edit]
Is there Wikipedia administrators on here? Kingjeff 10:04, 11 Feb 2006 (EST)
Bad Reichenhall[edit]
You asked about my opinion of the Bad Reichenhall article. In my opinion it is a Usable article, but not a Guide. There is a great deal of material there for such a small town, particularly on its attractions, and that of course is a good thing. However, most of the attraction listings give little information that one can actually use -- the attraction is just there. Significant elaboration is needed. Furthermore, there's very little information on some of the important basics (what's worth buying in the "elegant pedestrian area"? where, exactly, can one get a drink? what allows one to choose among the very sketchily described places to sleep?) and no photos or maps. These are precisely the things that, in my opinion, distinguish a Guide from something that's merely Usable. Even Usable is a stretch in certain regards; the requirement that a Usable article be such that "(a)n adventurous person could use the article without recourse to other information sources to get to the destination, eat, and sleep" is only marginally met as regards "Get in" and "Get around."
That said, it certainly seems like a cool place, and one that I would try to visit when in the area. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 19:43, 17 Feb 2006 (EST)
Wikitravel:Destination of the Month candidates procedures[edit]
A friendly tip: You seem a bit hazy on DotM nominating procedures. As I understand it, the procedure is:
However, you don't support your own nominations. That gives a mistaken impression as to what level of support the article has. It's kind of like, in parliamentary procedure, seconding a nomination you yourself have made. Withdrawing or qualifying something you wrote seems OK (equivalent to amending or withdrawing a parliamentary motion), but not just saying it again. Clear?
Incidentally, I don't see any need for the format change that you have tried to make there. Formatting isn't a problem with DotM nominations as they stand, and it just makes the page more cluttered if one introduces all the headings you propose. It's good that you're interested in improving the process, though. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 16:31, 4 March 2006 (EST)

Can you fully recover from stroke?
And more importantly, who should you listen to when it comes to advice like this?
Unfortunately, most medical professionals are legally obligated to speak strictly facts. This causes them to spout off limiting beliefs like, you'll never be able to walk again…
While statistically that may be accurate for some patients, it's not the best thing to tell someone recovering from stroke. Because a limiting belief will limit the action the patient is inspired to take.
That's why, if you want to achieve a full recovery, you should listen to advice from others who have already done it.
Since we've had the pleasure of talking to many of those successful individuals, we'll share their best tips.
They aren't your usual stroke recovery tips, but that's exactly why they work.
How to Achieve a Full Recovery from Stroke
Before we dig into our advice on how to achieve a full recovery from stroke, you need to understand why we don't like limiting beliefs.
Limiting beliefs (like "you can't fully recover from stroke") put patients under the nocebo effect.
The nocebo effect occurs when you're told that something is going to hurt you, and believing so unfortunately makes it so. It's the opposite of the placebo effect.
For example, during a double-blind clinical trial where patients were warned about the possible negative side effects of a drug, about 25% of them went on to suffer severe side effects – when they were only taking sugar pills.
The nocebo effect is so profound that even WebMD admits that your mind-set can alter your health!
So, as we dig into the best tips to achieve a fully recovery from stroke, you'll see that mind-set is key.
The Odds Are Actually Higher for a Full Recovery from Stroke
Here at Flint Rehab, we believe that a full recovery is more possible than the medical community is allowed to lead you to believe. Here's what we mean:
Even when doctors say there's no hope — there probably is! They're just not allowed to say that because, if the did and it didn't work out, they could get in trouble.
Since we are not medical experts — we're simply the makers of therapist-approved rehab devices — we can share the real truth.
And the real truth is that if you work hard enough, you may achieve a full recovery. It all depends on the severity of your stroke and the strength of your work ethic.
How to Achiever Your Highest Recovery
To help you achieve your highest recovery, we'll share 5 steps to help you achieve your highest recovery possible.
1. Find the Best Stroke Rehabilitation Methods for You
Do all the research you can on different stroke rehabilitation methods. Because what helped one person achieve a full recovery might not work for you, and vice versa.
Every stroke is different, so every patient will benefit from different rehabilitation methods.
Also, when you hit a plateau after stroke, switching up your rehabilitation regimens can help you break through. So always be experimenting with something new!
2. Focus on High Reps and Variety
The best way to reach your fullest potential during stroke recovery is to focus on activating neuroplasticity: the mechanism your brain uses to rewire itself.
Neuroplasticity is activated by repetition. So if you want to be able to walk again, for example, you need to practice leg exercises with high repetition.
Repetitive exercise is exactly how stroke survivors – who were told they would never walk again – get back on their feet and prove their doctors wrong.
3. Beware of Compensation Techniques
A full recovery from stroke means knowing the difference between compensation and recovery.
Compensation involves "performing an old movement in a new manner." So if you can't pick up a spoon with your right fingers anymore, a compensation technique would be picking up the spoon with your left hand.
Recovery involves "restoring the ability to perform a movement in the same manner as it was performed before injury." In other words, being stubborn and working very, very hard towards using your right fingers to hold that spoon just like you did before your stroke.
Compensation strategies are necessary sometimes – especially for your safety. Other times, they're only necessary in the beginning stages of recovery.
Try your best to be aware of when you're ready to outgrow certain compensation techniques and keep yourself challenged. This is KEY to a full recovery from stroke.
4. Fill Your Mind with Positive Success Stories
To achieve a full recovery from stroke, you want to avoid the nocebo effect. Instead, harness the placebo effect!
Read up on positive stroke recovery stories so that you can see how often stroke patients experience miracles.
5. Don't Compare Your Recovery
Your stroke recovery timeline might be shorter or longer than you expected. When obstacles come your way, it's important to stick to your regimen and never give up.
If you see others recovering faster from stroke than you, try to stay in your lane. The only person you need to be concerned about is you.
Action creates results, so as long as you keep taking action, you will see results.
Follow all 5 of these steps and you'll have the best chance at achieving a full recovery from stroke.

ghost town
a town that was busy in the past but is now empty
or nearly empty because the activities that kept
people there have stopped
Chandra Mohan Jain was born December 11, 1931 in India. He later became known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. In the 1960's he traveled throughout India as a public speaker sharing his philosophies and criticizing orthodox religions. Bhagwan encouraged meditation, mindfulness, celebration, courage, and humor. His teachings on having an open attitude of sexuality is what caused him the most controversy during his life.
In the early 1970's Bhagwan and his followers, which were called neo-sannyasins, settled in Pune, Maharashtra, India. The neo-sannyasins built an ashram for Bhagwan, which is similar to a monastery, where his followers could learn his teachings. By the late '70s the ashram was in debt to the Indian government for back taxes of over $5 million.
And this is where Oregon comes in.
Bhagwan became interested in the United States and sent his people to create a new ashram. His right hand woman, Ma Anand Sheela, purchased land in Oregon near the small town of Antelope with the money they had saved on their taxes.
The Big Muddy Ranch in central Oregon became Rancho Rajneesh, and was later incorporated as the city of Rajneeshpuram. The commune was an enormous 64,229 acres. Rajneeshpuram had a 160-room hotel, a 2 acre meeting hall, shopping malls, restaurants, laundromats, city police, and even an airport. For being a spiritual leader Bhagwan sure had a taste for the finer things; like 85 Rolex watches and 93 Rolls Royce.
Rajneeshpuram was a bustling city and its resident were the only ones happy about it. The following years were filled with legal battles between the Rajneesh and local farmers and Oregon government. Most conflicts were due to illegal land use by the commune and the commune's unwillingness to compromise.
After the Rajneeshees established Bhagwan as a religious leader in the United States, he began a vow of silence and Sheela became his voice. Eventually Sheela started using her own voice to gain local political power. At her direction some members of the commune moved into the nearest town, Antelope. In time they managed to get themselves voted onto the city council and they changed the name of Antelope to Rajneesh.
Flexing their political muscles gave the Rajneesh even more bad press. Rumors that the commune was nothing more than a sex cult with rampant drug use irritated everyone…except for those having the sex most likely. Gossip was that even Bhagwan had his own drug problem of a lot of Valium and inhaling nitrous-oxide for fun.
In the summers of 1983 and 1984 Rajneeshpuram held World Celebration Festivals. During the festivals there were up to 15,000 neo-sannyasins visiting rural central Oregon. The Rajneeshees were spreading through Wasco and Jefferson counties like a bright red STD.
In October of 1984 neo-sannyasins, following the orders of Ma Anand Sheela, poisoned multiple salad bars at restaurants in The Dalles, Oregon with Salmonella. The purpose? It was a practice run for election day in November. The goal was to keep the citizens of The Dalles home sick so they couldn't vote, which would give the Rajneeshees even more political power. No one died during the attack, but the 750 people that got food poisoning probably wished they had. The incident is considered the first bioterrorism attack in the United States. It is still questioned as to whether Bhagwan was the mastermind behind the bioterrorism or if Sheela planned it on her own.
By 1985 Rajneeshpuram was falling apart. Bhagwan began insisting that he was not a religious leader and ordered his neo-sannyasins to burn all his teachings and books. In October of '85 a grand jury indicted Rajneesh and several of his disciples with conspiracy to evade immigration laws. His lawyers, which were of course neo-sannyasins, made a deal with the US Attorney's office. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh was given a 10 year suspended sentence, 5 years of probation and a $400,000 fine – and the agreement that he leave the United States.
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh left Oregon and went back to India. He changed his name to Osho and continued his spiritual teachings to new and old neo-sannyasins. Osho died January 19, 1990 in Pune, India of natural causes. His philosophies and teachings are still available, and you can still join his cult if you like. Just visit https://www.osho.com/
By 1987 Rajneeshpuram was empty of the followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. The state of Oregon took ownership of the town for past due taxes and fines, and then sold it to Dennis Washington. Washington attempted to run a ranch for profit (The Washington Family Ranch), and when that failed he tried to sell the land back to Oregon to be used as a state park. Oregon said oh, hells no!
In 1996 The Washington Family Ranch donated the land to Young Life, a Christian youth organization. Since 1999 they have held various youth summer camps, festivals, and retreats.
The city of Rajneeshpuram is so ghost town that it isn't a town anymore…just a church camp where people congregate to hear the word of Jesus, a man who hung out with people of open sexuality and shared his philosophies and beliefs of prayer (meditation and mindfulness), church (celebration), and standing up for your fellow man (courage); plus he liked to brag about his 3-day hide and seek championship (humor).

Prologue: Part 1: "Am I not your Rabb"?
What do you think these Muslims should be called today? I'll let you think, but meanwhile, I propose the name 'Mushrik Muslim' (though Mushrik cannot be associated with 'Muslim', but what can I do? Someone please think of an appropriate name).
Prologue: Part 2: Muslim today: Islam in rituals but the mind-set is of kuffar's
They did not pronounce "La Ilaha Illa Allah" and just did rituals of worship (Salat, Hajj, Siam, Zakat) and then went back to the system of their forefathers as they were doing before in their daily life. No, they did not. That was not Islam for them. They did follow every system their messenger taught them.

Arabs live in Gaza; so do Jews. Gaza Jews live in towns and villages built on what was previously considered un-farmable land. Junk land. Before 1967, when Israel seized Gaza from Egypt, that land was inhabited by nobody. These are indisputable facts.
Jared IsraelJared Israel is the Editor of the Emperor's New Clothes website, dedicated to analyzing patterns of lies by the media and political figures.
Arab leaders tell the world that their struggle is not against Jews per se, but against a supposedly expansionist Israel. All they want is a state for the Palestinians; so, national liberation.
As a recovering Hopeful Leftist, I remember believing this. I began recovering from my Hopeful condition when I began testing this belief against reality. For example, if Arab organizations were really for a state (and not against Jews) what would be their attitude towards Jews living in Gaza?
The answer is, they would welcome Jewish individuals to stay. The Palestinian Authority would publish official documents guaranteeing protection of the rights of what would be, upon the departure of Israeli forces, a Jewish minority. And they would guarantee that attacks on Jewish people, prior to the proposed pullout, were punished as sharply as possible, thus making an international statement. This would be a brilliant stroke, creating the impression that Arab leaders were anti-racist. It would weaken the opposition to turning Gaza over to full Arab control among Israeli Jews.
Why don't Arab leaders take this politically shrewd stand?
There is a substantial Arab minority in Israel, with normal rights; indeed, Israeli Arabs enjoy more rights than those in any Arab state. For example, in what Arab state can Arabs organize and campaign for state officials without fear of police repression?
Israeli Jews who physically assault Israeli Muslims are subject to the extreme penalties of the law. In Israel it is a hate crime, and one that is actively prosecuted, to call for physical attacks on Muslims or make remarks considered insulting to Muslims.
So, even if the Arab Palestinian movement is based on hatred of Jews, it would seem smart to welcome Gaza Jews to remain, thus telling the world that Arab leaders are just as humane as Jews.
What is the reality?
No such pledge has been made. Instead, every Palestinian Arab faction attacks the Sharon government's plan to evict Jews from Gaza as insincere, inadequate, or both. Not only does no Arab faction say Jews should be invited to stay, none denounces attempts to kill Gaza Jews, except by sometimes saying that such attacks should be temporarily halted lest they prevent the planned Israeli pullout.
On Saturday, June 18th, CNN reported that Mahmoud Abbas, alias Abu Mazen, President of the Palestinian Interim Self-Government Authority, held a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. For months, Arab terrorists had been shooting and launching rockets at Gaza Jews. For example:
"Earlier Saturday (i.e., the day of the press conference - JI) two Palestinian militants opened fire at Israeli troops guarding an Israeli settlement in Gaza, Israeli and Palestinian officials said. One militant was killed and another was wounded when the soldiers opened fire, Palestinian officials said." -- CNN, June 18, 2005 (4)
And after the press conference ended:
"Shortly after Rice spoke, a blast was heard in Gaza. Palestinian militants said they had launched two rockets toward an Israeli settlement in southern Gaza." -- CNN, June 19, 2005 (4)
Notice that in one case, the attack was directed at settlements, meaning towns where Jews live. In the other case, the Arabs tried to kill troops protecting Jews from murder. So, both attacks told Jews that their presence in Gaza was an offense punishable by death.
How did Secretary Rice and President Abbas react?
Ms. Rice reported on her meetings with Palestinian Arab officials and spoke of the need for "peaceful withdrawal", not mentioning that rockets were targeting Jews and that Arabs were trying to kill soldiers protecting the Jews. These were non-events.
As for President Abbas, he was Orwellian:
"We discussed with Dr Rice the issue of the calm in general and the Palestinian factions' commitment to this calm. We will continue to maintain the calm to reach a favorable result, whereby everybody will be committed so as to move to other steps after the withdrawal." -- Transcript of June 18th press conference. (5)
Notice that Abbas spoke of "continu(ing) to maintain calm." Three times in two sentences he called the assembled world media's attention to the "calm" in Gaza. So: War is Peace; Murdering Jews is Calm.
The world writes this off on the grounds that the attacks are supposedly the work of Hamas, supposedly the fringe of Arab politics. The idea is that if supposed moderates, like Abbas, fight Hamas they'll isolate themselves.
If this 'defense' were accurate, it would mean that much of the Palestinian Arab population was won to such extreme hatred of Jews that even when Israel plans to pull State forces out, no Arab politician dares to declare killing Jews to be wrong, let alone welcome Jews to stay in Gaza as people. And this, despite the international political gain of making such statements, even if they are lies.
However, it wasn't Hamas that tried to murder those soldiers trying to protect Jews from murder: "Two Palestinian militant groups, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Islamic Jihad, claimed joint responsibility for the failed attack."
And what is Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades? A military branch of Fatah, whose candidate in the Arab election was Abu Mazen, alias Mahmoud Abbas, now president of the Palestinian Interim Self-Government Authority. The guy who spoke alongside Secretary Rice at the June 18th press conference.
(Here are photos of Abbas enthusiastically campaigning with leaders of Fatah's Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades: http://www.balatacamp.net/website/pics/youngjournalists/abumazen; the above page is backed up at: http://www.tenc.net/abbas-aqsa.htm.)
O National Liberation, what Crimes are Committed in thy Name
The world has been conditioned to think it is perfectly acceptable for the Arab "liberation" movement to enthusiastically support killing Jews, even though it would be a political coup for them to pretend that they morally oppose such killings.
Thus has the once honorable idea of national liberation been transformed into its opposite - a license for race hate, the very thing national liberation was supposed to combat.
By way of contrast, consider the 19th century nationalist struggle to unify Italy.
Prior to unification, the Italian territories included, and include today, a large French-speaking minority and a large German-speaking minority, as well as Jews, Albanians, Greeks, Slovenians and Croats. Jews in the then-Papal State were confined to ghettos whose gates were locked at night to prevent them from mingling with Gentiles, or otherwise escaping.
Not only did the Italian liberation movement give full rights to minorities, it tore down the walls of the Jewish ghettos, declaring the Jews free and equal (much to the fury of the Vatican...).
Similarly, after World War I, when Serbs led in creating a united state of the South Slavs (Yugoslavia), they did so in conjunction with Croats and Bosnian Muslims, even though many members of the latter groups had participated in anti-Serb atrocities as soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Or consider this. On April 28, 1948, the Haifa (Jewish) Workers' Council published a declaration calling on Arab workers not to respond to the demand, broadcast by Haj Amin Al-Husseini's Arab Higher Committee, to leave Haifa. Instead, the Arabs were urged to stay and build Israel for Jews and Muslims alike. (You may read the declaration in full at http://emperors-clothes.com/docs/haifa.htm.)
That's how real national liberation movements work. In liberating themselves, they embrace potential brothers, rather than organizing the murder of Jews.

Healthy cookie dough you can eat as a dip, or rolled into bites. No worries about raw eggs, or a sugar high. Indulge, guilt free!
- 1 can organic chickpeas
- ¼ cup raw or nut milk (we used homemade vanilla cashew milk)
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup nut butter
- 2 tsp vanilla bean powder
- ⅛ tsp sea salt
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
- Lily's chocolate chips (or allergen-free chocolate chips, we've used both!)
For the Dip
- Strain chickpeas and put into blender.
- Add maple syrup and milk of choice to blender and blend for a few seconds.
- Add nut butter, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Blend again until creamy and smooth.
- Pour into a bowl and stir in chocolate chips.
For the bites
- Chill cookie dough dip in the refrigerator for a few hours (or overnight) until firm.
- Roll into bite-sized balls and place onto parchment paper.
- Freeze for 30-60 minutes.
- Enjoy!
- Cookie dough dip is delicious served with sliced fruit, pretzel sticks and graham crackers.
- Store extra cookie dough dip in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Bring back to room temperature before serving.
- Cookie dough bites are best stored in the freezer and should be served straight from the freezer. They soften up too much at room temperature.

Epithelial Basement Membrane Dystrophy
What is a Corneal Dystrophy?
Generally speaking a corneal dystrophy is a non-infectious non-inflammatory gradual deterioration of one of the five layers of the cornea. We don't fully understand why certain corneas become dystrophic but we do know that some dystrophies have strong hereditary inclinations are usually bilateral and that they can be progressive.
There is a variety of corneal dystrophies but the two most common are epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD) and endothelial cell dystrophy.
EBMD also known as map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy is by far the most common of the corneal dystrophies. EBMD generally occurs after the age of 40 but can first appear as late as age 70. The breakdown of the basement membrane in epithelial cell dystrophy can cause redness of the eye blurred vision light sensitivity and discomfort that can range from moderate irritation to severe pain. These symptoms are generally worse at the start of the day because sleep does not permit the blinking that keeps the surface of the cornea lubricated with tears.
EBMD received its nickname map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy because of its characteristic appearance under the examining microscope as an irregular pattern of cysts ridges and circular whorls resembling a map or a fingerprint. The cornea comprises five distinct tissue layers. The outermost layer -the epithelial cells - are fastened to an underlying basement membrane.
EBMD is usually not progressive but can be extremely variable in its presentation and can fluctuate in its course. The condition is typically bilateral but it can show up in just one eye. It also can be very asymmetric in its presentation often with a marked difference between the eyes.
The real problem with EBMD is that the basement membrane becomes thickened and irregular. The once-even layer of attached epithelial cells starts to buckle and break apart so that the cells are easily dislodged from the faulty underlying basement membrane (see link for recurrent corneal erosion). This loose attachment can result in the sloughing away of epithelial cells which triggers light sensitivity blurred vision and discomfort.
How is Epithelial Basement Membrane Dystrophy Treated?
Treatment for corneal epithelial cell dystrophy usually starts with efforts to augment the natural lubrication using artificial tears and hypertonic saline solutions just before sleep. Eye drops are also applied periodically during the day. In more severe conditions patients may have to wear a bandage contact lens to protect the corneal epithelium. Also measures to keep the home environment more humid using vaporizers or similar equipment may be recommended. If all these measures fail more permanent treatments include anterior corneal punctures to allow better adherence of cells; corneal scraping to remove eroded areas of the cornea and allow regeneration of healthy epithelial tissue; and the use of the excimer laser to remove surface irregularities.
Most cases of EBMD are easily managed and patients remain comfortable and abrasion-free. It's important to stay in close contact with your doctor and to be diligent about following therapeutic instructions. With proper care painful loss of epithelial cells can be minimized or prevented leading to a decrease in the symptoms and discomfort associated with EBMD.

A 'moment of truth' is a critical or decisive time, at which one is put to the ultimate test. . .
Here to inform and connect creative based individuals and businesses around the globe.
This project, 'moments of truth,' began as a step toward generating a method to life focused on contributing creative efforts to society. The title for this project found inspiration by a phrase often uttered in the Fort Mason printing studio by printmakers I looked up to. Arrival of the crucial moment would be declared just prior to kissing inked plate to paper through the press.
So I set out on the road to find people living their daily life in a creative focused fashion and ask them some questions. These questions were those I imagined could help inspire others as well as myself. What have you always wanted to ask your favorite creative individual? What is it to be creative? What drives us human beings to create something new and different, altering our surroundings? What am I missing? Obviously this is a work in progress with anticipation of others contributions via comments, messages, suggestions and anything else that may arise.
If you can put me in contact with someone you think has some creative things going on and they'd like to share, I'd love to interview them. Post a comment or shoot an email to email@example.com.
Stage 1:
To challenge myself on this pilgrimage of sorts, I set the restriction to travel with only what can be carried while touring on a Honda Nighthawk motorcycle. You know, the most basic supposed essentials: sleeping bag, socks and draws, tools, the digital recorder, some paper, colored pencils, etc. The next five month leg of this tour will take place on the west coast from Seattle, through Oregon, California, down to Oaxaca, Mexico.
*(Note, Stage 1 travel has been completed; that is, Andrew Crum managed to spend 9 months out of 12 getting lost in the landscape of Northern America Continent)

Receiving a stand mixer for a wedding present feels like a culinary and domestic rite of passage. My love affair with my KitchenAid has blossomed into a very special relationship over the last year. We've already made pasta dough, birthday cakes, cookies, bread, and two cheesecakes together. My mixer never mocks my failed culinary experiments, doesn't mind that I talk to it on occasion, and never ever brings up the fact that one of us has gotten very fat since the start of our partnership. Obviously, I will need grief counseling when the motor dies.
Pat Kiddle also received a stand mixer as a wedding present in 1956. This Sunbeam Mixmaster was in constant use in her kitchen until 2006! When it died, she donated it to the Raupp Museum. The mixer proudly lives on display in the main gallery.
Ever since its introduction in 1930, the stand mixer has been one of the most popular appliances Sunbeam offers. Famous designer, Raymond Loewy (who would go on to design the Greyhound bus and the Shell gasoline logo), originally worked on the mixer. Indeed, the Mixmaster's logo and style has changed only slightly over the past 75 years. After all, why mess with perfection? Now, who wants cake?

Arsenal news: Tony Adams slams Unai Emery for LACK of Gunners changes
ARSENAL haven't made enough changes under Unai Emery, according to former captain Tony Adams.
The Gunners have bounced back from two straight defeats to win their last two Premier League matches against West Ham and Cardiff.
But questions remain over their playing style as the Spaniard looks to implement his philosophy of playing out from the back, pressing high and utilising a high defensive line.
And whlle many have questioned Emery's decision to try and implement such major changes after only making five signings in the summer, Adams - by contrast - thinks the new manager's reign has been too similar to that of Arsene Wenger's final years at the club.
"I don't think he has [the right group of players] but you can change your mythology completely and be more resilient and more stable defensively," Adams said on Sky Sports' The Debate.
Unai Emery's tactics have been criticised despite only being four games in
"I just saw an Arsene Wenger performance [against Cardiff] and that was the thing that was disappointing. For years Arsenal fans have been watching stuff and it's really attractive to watch and it's entertaining.
"But to think that squad of players can play teams off the park, Liverpools and even Tottenhams, you're not going to pass them or the Man Citys off the park.
"We tried that in the last 10 years, played Barcelona [in the final], quarter-final, quarter-final, semi-final, coming fourth, coming fifth, coming fourth. It's more of the same and I just wanted a little more resilience.
"I love [Rob] Holding - stick him in, work with him. You bring [Stephan] Lichsteiner in, he looks like a real leader.
"Then you've got Hector Bellerin, he's the one to watch, put Lichtsteiner in, say 'Look son, that's how you do it.'
I just saw an Arsene Wenger performance and that was the thing that was disappointing.
"You have to give it time. It's not going to happen overnight but I just need to see a few signs."
Gunners legend Adams - who spent his entire 22-year career in north London, winning 12 trophies across 669 appearances - insists Arsenal need to improve off of the ball to make any progress.
The former defender continued: "They need time - the manager needs time. There's been massive changes, I think 19 staff got removed from their jobs."
"I was excited with Arsene going, I've been saying for the last 10 years actually - resilience, resilience, big strong back four, a couple of screeners since Gilberto [Silva] left the club.
"We've not had a screener and Ashley Cole and Sol Campbell were the last defenders that knew how to defend. I thought, 'Okay work with your back four, go and get a new coach, go out and get one that will work and make us resilient and not a soft touch away from home especially.'
"I know we've played against Man City and Chelsea, two tough games at the start, but I was a little bit disappointed that we weren't more resilient.
"It's not about kicking people, put them under pressure, reduce the lines, get in behind people, squeeze them out from the back. You can be aggressive in your play.
"Just to stand off players and let them play, you can get a little more aggressive. That's what I mean. They only play when they've got the ball, they don't know what to do when they haven't got it.
"It's great passing it out of the back, wonderful, then when they haven't got it they need to get back, work hard, track back as fast as you go forward.
"I would've done the whole pre-season, whole six weeks, working on that. It's going to take time I know that but I was a little bit disappointed."
