Months ago, the #MeToo movement brought revelations about Harvey Weinstein's reprehensible "casting couch" practices out into the open. And it didn't stop there – many powerful men have been shown to be opportunistic, predatory, abusers and rapists. And in recent weeks, news items have appeared that have shown how strange and perverse these people can be. When James Gunn's [SEE HERE too] and now Dan Harmon's tweets and videos were brought into the light, we all learned that Hollywood seems to have a fascination with pedophilia. They seem to think it's acceptable – but supposedly only on a "humor" level. (Really??)
Is that normal? What kind of person would ever joke about child abuse? Apparently, lots of funny, successful, and cool Hollywood people like Gunn, Harmon, Michael Ian Black, and Rainn Wilson of the Office.
Some of this has come out in major news outlets. But much more of the truth is waiting to be exposed, and is leaking through more underground sources…such as "Q". You've probably have heard about the whole "Q" thing by now. Haven't you?
Who is "Q" and What's This "Q" Stuff All About?
Unless you're 1) not online much, or 2) only read "politically-correct" media, you've no doubt heard about "Qanon" and "Q drops" and 4chan. If it's unclear, a site called Neon Revolt tries to clear it up in the post Who Is QAnon?.
Another blogger, Pez aficionado John Wilder, gives a really good brief explanation of the "Q" phenomenon in his post "QAnon, The Chans, and Other Cryptic Stuff". Interesting reading, to put it lightly. Very interesting.
Especially the allegations about Hollywood being full of pedophiles and perverts, willing to do the most horrific crimes – and then covering for each other. (Say it ain't so. To paraphrase an old Hollywood movie: "I'm shocked – shocked – to find that abuse is going on in here!")
[Be warned: Neon Revolt is an addicting read, if you like gossip. And each article he posts seems to lead down a deeper rabbit hole that will make you want to read more articles and watch more videos – many of them quite mind-blowing.]
If you start researching this aspect of Hollywood (often referred to as "PizzaGate") (which Neon Revolt refers to in at least a few posts)…the information can be very disturbing. Defenders of the Hollywood elites explain it all away(i.e. "they were just jokes taken out of context" or crazy conspiracies). And explaining it away might have worked in the past. But now, since the arrests of highly-connected NXIVM cult members, the creator of the (disgusting and subversive) show Rick and Morty (Dan Harmon) being exposed for his Satan-inspired baby rape "jokes" [also here, and see here], Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn being exposed, and now Ronan Farrow exposing CBS' Les Moonves…the fact that Hollywood is a modern-day Sodom is undeniable. People are starting to see that it's a truly den of vipers indeed.
In the World Twisted Minds, It's the Normal Person Who's Crazy
The "conspiracy" theories of the past are the mainstream news of the present. Of course, mainstream media tries portrays good versus evil as "culture wars" – because most of media and Hollywood has twisted thinking. They just don't get it. Their minds cannot think righteously or purely. Since they're forced to report on what is happening, they still rationalize the behavior of these Hollywood big-wigs and blame any controversy on "alt-right trolling". Heh. Okaaaaay.
Celebs like Harmon, Wilson, and can try to hide their thoughts and deeds, but the information is coming to light. That's my point here. If you have eyes to see, you now have verification that these people hate anything good. They hate God, country, and family. When you are aware of that, stuff like what's in the following video doesn't seem so crazy anymore. Now that we're all finding out how Hollyweird acts – "behind the scenes" – the wild accusations force us to wonder how much is true, and just how bad does it get?
But should any of these allegations surprise us, if we know the Bible or secular history? No – because people haven't changed. Often, the most criminal, evil people appear to be the most respectable. And among the "elites" there have always been deceptive, perverted, and corrupt people who hide their crimes. Consider the following passage from Isaiah:
"Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients [ED: the elites] of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do."
Resurgence of Moloch Worship
Is it really that inconceivable that people in power in the 21st century would behave any differently? Since ancient kings thought it made sense to sacrifice their own infants to Moloch, why would you think modern pagans wouldn't believe and practice the same things? If priests of the past secretly worshipped idols while publicly offering sacrifices to the Creator, do you think modern religious people are any different? (They're not.)
If so, I urge you to not be so naive. The things that are coming to light – through Q, Hollywood whistleblowers, blind-items – are nothing new. These are ancient evil practices that have been happening (albeit in different forms) for millenia. But often our modern sensibilities, prejudices, and normalcy bias prevents us from seeing what's really happening. (Sometimes, it takes someone who has been part of the evil to point it out to the rest of us.)
Whether Q is real or not, whether Hollywood is swarming with pedophiles or not, whether there is an evil elite in charge of this world or not will be debated and discussed ad nauseam in the media, on Reddit, on forums, etc. But know this: In these modern times, ancient evil still is active. Things aren't any better just because people have more knowledge and technology. If anything…things in this world are worse, and Moloch worship is still happening in modern-day America and elsewhere.
[Yes, seriously. Did you think it had to be called by its ancient name? Did you think it had to be done in the same exact manner? Think. THINK. Think of what modern trappings this practice might be cloaked in, today. "Medical" coats instead of the robes of a pagan priest, perhaps? Be open minded in your thinking. Here is an absolute truth: what is actually possible is not limited to what you would do, or what you believe is acceptable.]
For Those Who Can See, Hope Lies Ahead
But don't be depressed by what seems like hopeless news. There's way more to our existence than this temporary place we call "the World"! If you understand the big picture, you can only have hope:
"Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence." John 18:36
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2
"He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal." John 12:25
The answer to the conflict between the good of God and the evil of this present "World system" lies in the justice and judgment of the only righteous and loving God, who provided a resolution:

Delray Beach, FL-"The discipline of desire is the backbone of character," wrote Will & Ariel Durant.
That's different from the Buddhist idea of extinguishing desire. The difference is profound. And it says something about two different worldviews.
The Durant idea is very Western, very Christian – almost Puritanical. It is about self-restraint. About reining in one's natural impulses. This is a view that sees desire (and the temptations that come from desire) as inherent to the human condition.
The Buddhist idea is about letting go. It is about giving up desire. Energetically, it is the opposite of restraint. It assumes that desire is extrinsic to the self – that the self can be separated from desire.
For the Durants, life is a struggle to resist one's inherent desires, and the effort to resist builds moral muscle. A good or virtuous person is one who strongly and continuously resists temptation.
For the Buddhist, extinguishing desire (caring less) is not about character but about wisdom.
Let's say K and I agree that we will go to the Norton Museum Saturday afternoon. I know there is a possibility that we may not go. Still, I allow myself to look forward to the trip. Saturday arrives and K tells me she cannot go. I am disappointed, on the verge of anger. I want to blame her, which will cause a fight and more pain. So I control myself. I restrain the desire I have to act out. I behave myself. I behave like a person of good character.
But if, instead, I take the Buddhist path, I do not attach myself to the prospect of going. While scheduling the event, I consciously detach myself from the anticipation of it. I allow myself not to care. By doing so, I spare myself the possibility of pain if it turns out we cannot go, while not diminishing in any way the possibility of joy.

From the same region, the minister added, Pakistan had already concluded successful FTAs with Malaysia and Indonesia.
He also directed the negotiating team to remove concerns of the local industry and to team up with the Federal Board of Revenue to take a joint position during the next round of the FTA negotiations.

UK assures Pakistan GSP Plus-like trade package

The second phase of discussion would include discussions on Investment, Intellectual Property Rights, Trade in Services and Competition related matters, he added.

The Best Used Pull Behind Campers Sale
Used Pull Behind Campers Sale – Yaw, much more typically referred to as sway in the RV market, is a poor word for trailer proprietors. The meaning from yaw or sway is a side-to-side motion. Absolutely nothing will destroy the method you really feel regarding outdoor camping quicker compared to the very first time you experience trailer sway.
You've camping tent camped for many years and currently you choose it is time to relocation as much as a pop-up. You most likely to your regional dealer and discover a pop-up with the ideal flooring prepare for you and your household. The sales individual understands that this will be near to the optimum weight that your car can tow. He truly requires a sale because points have been slow down. Instead of danger shedding the sale he chooses not to discuss the included cost from the appropriate drawback job to securely tow your brand-new trailer.
You are all loaded for a weekend break trip. You made all your pre-trip inspects and you are prepared to go. You tons one of the most valuable freight you've, your household, right into your tow car and go out on a brand-new endeavor. Whatever is great when you leave your home. You take the on ramp to the interstate. You are travelling at the rate restrict delighting in the songs on the radio. All of a sudden from no place a move vehicle going twenty miles over the rate restrict is death you as if you are resting still. The pop-up is drew right into the prepare produced by the vehicle. In an effort to appropriate this completely unforeseen occasion you over guide and the trailer starts to go the contrary instructions. Not truly certain what to do you strike the brakes and transform the wheel to the left, after that to the best. Currently, that one-ton trailer behind your sporting activity energy car is veering dramatically back and forth and starts to impact what bit manage you've over the car. The outcomes are devastating.
Okay, because this is simply a short article, let's begin over and repair this previously you also recognize there's a prospective issue. You bought your pop-up from a reliable regional RV dealer. At the danger from shedding the sale your sales individual discusses that you'll need some specific drawback job to draw your brand-new trailer securely. You're a little bit skeptical, seeming like they simply desire much more from your cash. Besides, your dad never ever required any one of this things. He simply linkeded the trailer unto the sphere and went.
You choose to provide the sales individual the advantage from question and pay attention momentarily. He programs you in his book that your tow car is ranked to tow an optimum from 3, 500 extra pounds. After that he discusses what you should element into that tow score. This consists of the weight from your brand-new camper, any after market devices, just like the roofing system installed air conditioning unit and battery the dealer is mosting likely to mount, all the freight and individual possessions that you tons in the trailer and in the tow car, and the weight from the travelers in the car. Currently all the unexpected the sales individual has your undistracted interest. You had no concept that all this needed to be thought about.
He programs you the weight tag on your brand-new trailer. The unloaded car weight (UVW) is 2, 100 extra pounds. The air conditioning unit evaluates 100 extra pounds and the deep cycle battery evaluates 50 extra pounds. To be risk-free he approximates that you'll bring regarding 300 extra pounds from freight, and after that includes one more 300 extra pounds for your spouse and 2 kids. You're impressed exactly how quick points accumulate.
Currently you've 2, 850 extra pounds rather than the 2100 extra pounds that you believed this was. This isn't over yet. Your sales individual begins to discuss that every specify has various demands on just how much a trailer can evaluate previously this needs trailer brakes. In your specify the weight is 3, 000 pounds., however your dealer has brakes set up on any trailer they purchase that evaluates over 2, 000 extra pounds. He discusses that although your car is ranked to tow 3, 500 extra pounds the brakes on the car were developed to securely quit the cars weight, not an extra load and a fifty percent being drew behind this.
He takes you to the components division and programs you a brake controller and discusses that this is what triggers the trailer brakes and the dealer will mount this when they do the electrical wiring for the trailer lights. You just like the includes that he discussed regarding the brake controller. That you can by hand change the quantity from stopping activity to ensure that when you strike the brake pedal the tow car and the trailer collaborate to quit the weight in a sensible quantity from time. What you truly just like is the component he discussed regarding the handbook bypass bar that triggers the trailer brakes without utilizing the car brakes.
He stated if you are on a high quality and you do not wish to prematurely wear the car brakes you gradually move the bar and the trailer brakes will slow down you down. However what truly offered you on this was when he discussed that if the trailer begins to sway you might carefully relocation the bar, triggering the trailer brakes, to assist align the trailer out. He took place to discuss that trailer sway is among the largest capacity issues that you can experience while hauling a trailer. He factors out a few of the elements that add to trailer sway.
o Firstly bad trailer style adds to trailer sway. When there's excessive weight behind the trailers axles triggering the tongue weight to be much less compared to 10% from the trailers weight this has an all-natural propensity to sway.
o Inaccurate tire inflation
o Incorrect weight circulation drawback adjustments
o No sway manage on the trailer
o Crosswinds
o A move vehicle death from the back from the trailer
o Coming down inclines
o Hauling speeds
o Tow car not correctly matched for the trailer
o Incorrect packing, overloading and bad weight distribution
He made the effort to discuss that for the trailer to draw correctly the producer suggests that the tongue weight relaxing on the sphere install ought to be 10 to 15% from the overall trailer weight. He stated if it's greater than 15% they've what is called a weight circulation drawback that takes the extra tongue weight and distributes this to the axles on the tow car and the trailer where this ought to be, and if it's much less compared to 10% when you tons your freight you disperse this to include some extra weight on the tongue. He looked up the pop-up you're purchasing in the pamphlet and the tongue weight was 305 extra pounds. With the air conditioning unit set up and your freight packed you would be in between the 10 to 15% variety. He discussed that a weight circulation drawback was much more typically utilized with much heavier trailers and sometimes with pop-ups depending upon the tow car, however in this situation this would not be needed.
The following point he asked was if your car had a receiver. You respond, do you imply a drawback? He discusses that the component that's bolted to the car is called a receiver, and he programs you a graph that has a number of various courses from receivers depending upon the quantity from weight you'll be hauling. The course II receiver was ranked for 3, 500 pound. gross trailer weight and 300 pound. max tongue weight. For a little distinction in cost he suggested a course III receiver ranked for 5, 000 pound. gross trailer weight and 500 pound. max tongue weight because your trailers tongue weight surpassed 300 pounds.
Keeping that done he stated allow me reveal you the one element that our dealer highly suggests to anybody buying a pop-up. He strolled over and gotten a component from the rack. This is called a rubbing sway manage. We install one finish from this to the sphere install and the various other finish to the tongue on the camper. You change the quantity from rubbing by transforming the bar clockwise for much more rubbing and respond to clockwise for much less rubbing. He discussed that you transform this in 1/8 " increments up until you get this changed where you really feel comfy. This will not completely get rid of sway, once the pressures from sway remain in movement this will dampen the sway and assist you manage this when you are hauling your camper.
Well, he stated, that regarding does this. For much less compared to 10% from the cost from the pop-up you can get all the drawback job done and guarantee that your household is risk-free when you take place a journey. At this moment you are persuaded that the sales individual has your finest rate of interest in mind and wasn't simply attempting to make much more cash.
You are all loaded for the very first weekend break trip with your brand-new pop-up. You make all the pre-trip inspects that the dealer discussed to you and you are prepared to go. You tons one of the most valuable freight you've, your household, right into your car and go out on a brand-new endeavor. You take the on ramp to the interstate. You are travelling at the rate restrict delighting in the songs on the radio. All of a sudden from no place a move vehicle going twenty miles over the rate restrict passes you as if I you are resting still. You really feel a small motion behind you. This was simply sufficient to advise you that you are drawing the pop-up. You take a look at you are view and inform the household that you ought to go to the camping area in a few hrs.

I've Had It!
He says in his job
He has many frustrations,
Things that go wrong,
And aggravations.
So he comes home from work
Filled up to here,
And since I'm the one
Who brings up the rear,
He always proceeds
To let it all out,
On and on he goes,
'Til I'm ready to shout!
I wish I could find me
A wailing wall,
I'd have it put
Right here in the hall.
Then I'd tell him each night
When he starts to explode,
There's the wall, be my guest,
Stand there and unload.
Cry your heart out, scream,
Kick, throw a fit,
But use the wall,
~Dana B. Nelson

Many Are Now Moving Through Their Deepest Fears
Many Are Now Moving Through Their Deepest Fears
Dear Ones,
We wish to address your fear that all is not well in your life. That what you experienced the past few days will be forever.
Even though such might be true for those who do not wish to join the light train, those of you reading this message no longer need to believe in doom and gloom. For you, en masse, have transitioned beyond fear.
You are no longer of 3D no matter how diligently you try to be.
Some of you are laughing because who would wish to remain in fear given the opportunity of a life of joy? Who indeed? So it is you have cleared entire lifetimes of fear, as well as fear dust pockets. Resulting in your accurate proclamation that you are no longer of 3D.
If you are angry or fearful, you are merely playing at being of 3D. A somewhat difficult concept to grasp for who would wish to play with fear and anger? You or you would not be asking about fear.
So it is you are learning you no longer wish to feel or play with fear. The fear that was is no longer fun, interesting, or practical. For when you become fearful or angry, you halt the flow of love and joy that is now rightfully yours.
What are you to do if someone in your inner circle is projecting fear or anger? The answer is always your choice. But the choice you are discovering as the most uncomfortable internally is to join them in their fear or anger. For doing so merely enhances their anger, their fear.
Perhaps such does not necessarily yet compute with you, but it will. For you are discovering that joining someone beginning to transition or solidly in 3D, does not make your life or their life more joyful. It merely becomes a group pity party.
Perhaps, you are doing so to "whip them into shape" or in more Universal terms, "for them to partake of love and joy." Something you are not capable of doing. For each must declare freedom from fear in their own way and time.
Some of you are concerned those you love may never shift away from fear. You cannot make anyone do anything even though their need for love is obvious.
Many are now moving through their deepest fears, their dark night of the soul. Something you accomplished months or years ago. So just as is true for an older sibling who cannot understand why their younger sibling does not comprehend the rules of the game they wish to play, so it is for you now.
You have found the light. But that does not mean those you love are at the same place or Universal age if you will.
You cannot make anyone do anything, or more to the point for this channel, feel anything. This is an inside-out transition. So your words of love, support, anger, or fear mean little or nothing to them for they are a different Universal age.
Allow them to transition in their time. The question then becomes, "What if the two of you are too far apart emotionally?" Again, that is your choice. Do you continue on your path knowing you will leave them behind? Do you slow down to help them along? Or do you leave completely?
A quandary in which more and more of you are finding yourselves enmeshed. Such is little different from an older sibling remaining in a school grade so his or her younger sibling can catch up. Of course, such does not happen for each child must learn what they are capable of learning when they are capable of doing so.
So it is for you. Even though you may wish to slow your progress so those you love will catch up to you, such is not possible for you are too advanced to slow down. In truth, you are racing down your path.
Perhaps you are fearful of losing a relationship – not that that relationship is particularly right for you, but that it is what you know. It is comfortable.
Those who make you angry or fearful, but remain of your heart, will catch up eventually just as is true for a younger sibling.
The difference is that it will not take decades or years for such to happen for you are their beacon, their light. And they are more afraid of losing you than you can possibly imagine.
Of course, such an explanation does not cover those who have no intention of transitioning or are not part of your beacon. For your beacon can only be seen by those on their transition path.
You will know without needing to check with friends or relatives if those who make you angry or fearful will continue to be of your life. If the thought of leaving them, gives you a feeling of great relief, it is time to go. If such a thought creates sadness or a feeling that you do not wish to leave their presence, it merely means they are of your beacon just not at your current level.
Which of course, appears ominous for when will you feel the need to leave? Those in your light, your beacon are transitioning much more rapidly than was true for you.
The first United States scoutmasters needed years to discover what lay beyond the Mississippi River. Those scoutmasters were followed by wagon trains and eventually railroads and automobiles. Each method of transportation or discovery more rapidly completing what initially required years. So it is for you now – and those you love.
If you need to leave them, you will know. And if such a thought strikes fear in your heart, most likely they are transitioning but at a different level. Allow them to be as you continue your joy life. They will catch up more rapidly than you can imagine. Not in years or decades, but months, weeks, and days. So be it. Amen.

Top 10 Best Steam Iron in India 2018 – Buying Guide & Reviews
I can't help but think about the days when people didn't have irons or ironing boards for that matter and had absolutely no way to iron out their clothes. Have you ever wondered what people in the bygone era used in order to iron out their clothes? Keeping in in mind the silhouettes back then used to be huge and very fluid. Well, it is only better if we do not think of the days back then and be grateful for the technology we possess right now. If it weren't for the steam irons I am sure we wouldn't be much better than the early humans roaming around in shabby and wrinkled clothes, right? Among all the other necessities in our life, steam iron has a special place given the fact that presentation is the key to a promising career and a good first impression. Which might not have been possible without ironed clothes that are a symbol of sophistication?
Through the decades, irons have revolutionized our way of living and everything that came with it. The present day steam irons have made it even easier, faster and convenient. But again, there are one too many options available in the market which has toughened the procedure of us to choose the best steam iron available out there. Due to this, here is a buying guide which is created especially for you to be able to make a purchase that you will cherish forever. It is because buying a steam iron could be very tricky due to all the tiny details and other specifications.
If you are amongst those who find it difficult and get lost while choosing a perfect steam iron in India it is recommended that you read the buying guide given below.
Look for these features in your steam iron
1. Variable heat settings
Any average iron will only have two to three heat settings, however, if you are looking for a top-notch iron look for the one which offers a wide spectrum of heat settings. It is important because different fabrics require different heat settings and if you do not want to damage your clothes, it is a must.
2. Varied steam gauge
A gauge is something which is used to control the steam release. This is an important setting because each and every fabric has a different steam tolerance structure. Hence it is important for a perfect steamer to have varied settings and an off button in case you do not require steam for a particular clothing item.
3. A Spray
In order to iron your clothes and to make them look new, a water spray is a must. This is because moist clothing surface makes the steaming even more flawless.
4. Steam burst
Ironing natural fabrics such as linen and 100% cotton, one has to make sure that the son has this feature called steam burst. A steam burst is so efficient that it can help you get rid of even the most stubborn and tiny wrinkles, whatsoever. A steam which offers this feature is definitely a must buy for those who wear more natural fabrics in their daily life.
5. Vertical steam
Often it is difficult to iron some clothes which are usually hung vertically on hangers. Such clothes only need steam to be ironed but one has to buy a separate iron for that. An iron which has an inbuilt feature of vertical steam can be used as a multi-tasking iron just as well.
6. Transparent water chamber
It is usually more convenient when one can see the visible level of water within the reservoir than opaque. Even though it is not as hard and fast a rule, yet it would be much better if the iron you are purchasing has a transparent water reservoir.
7. Removable water reservoir
Inbuilt water reservoir makes it difficult for anyone to fill it since the mouth of the reservoir is just too narrow. If you can get an iron with the removable reservoir, you can just as well fill it without any spillage or a fear of current.
8. Reservoir covers
As mentioned above, water spills from the reservoir in a steam iron could be dangerous since the water inside is heated up. Hence it is advisable if you look for an iron which comes with a cover and it not open mouthed.
9. An Anti-calcium system
To be able to ensure that your steam iron has a long life and promising functioning, it is best if you look for a steam iron which has anti-calcium properties. This will prevent the iron from any possible buildups within the steam vent. Clogged steam vents are one of the reasons that cause difficulty while ironing.
10. An automated shut off mechanism
As the name suggests, this feature means an inbuilt timer within the steam iron which enables it to turn off from time-to-time. This is also a good way to ensure that your iron is not heating constantly and that it will turn off on itself just in case you have to be away for a minute or two. This feature is good to ensure that you are conserving energy and that your clothes are not going to get burnt up.
11. A 360 degrees cord revolution
During earlier times the biggest challenged faced by people while ironing was the fact that the cord used to have constraints such s a limited revolution. An idea iron should always have a 360-degree revolution which makes it easy for the hand to make movements and is convenient.
12. Cordless
Having a cordless iron is not mandatory, but if you find all the necessary features as mentioned above in a cordless iron then it is a definite win-win situation. The reason being, a cordless iron will offer you a strain free hand movement and it is good for transporting purposes.
13. A self-cleaning mechanism
Well, it is most obvious that one can simply not get inside an iron to clean it, but then it does require a time to time cleaning. In this case, most irons of the modern day come equipped with a self-cleaning mechanism which is very promising, reliable and offers 100% cleaning. It is a must have feature because of the clogging and buildups which are bound to happen from time to time.
14. A nonstick soleplate
Let's face it; we all are at risk of burning our clothes while ironing. A nonstick soleplate is not only good for smooth, friction-free movement over the surface of a cloth; it is even good for cleaning. One can just take a wet cloth and swipe it on the soleplate, yes you read that right, and a nonstick soleplate is legit that easy to clean!
If you religiously make note of the must have features from the aforementioned list, I am sure that you will get home a highly efficient and completely worth it steam iron. To make things easier for you even further given below are top 10 Steam Irons in India.

Controversial viral star Logan Paul has returned to Youtube, posting a video in which he claimed to be 'lit as fuck'.
The vlogger was condemned last month after uploading a clip to his YouTube channel that showed him and his friends discovering a dead body in Japan's Aokigahara Forest, a notorious suicide hotspot. +It later transpired that Paul was responsible for consistent inappropriate behaviour throughout the trip, including thrusting dead fish in people's faces and running through the streets dressed as a Pokemon.
He later issued an apology, pleaded for a second chance, and shared a video about suicide prevention.
The 12 minute clip begins in a rather cinematic style, taking the form of a trailer for a Hollywood Blockbuster as he describes himself as a 'legend' and 'maverick', while making light his standing as a 'disgraced' Youtuber.
"What do you mean 'disgraced'?," he argues with the narrator. "I'm not disgraced, boy – I took a break. I'm still lit as fuck. What other Youtuber do you know that can take a three week break and still gain a million subscribers?"
The video then vowed to put an end to 'the era of boring content', before going into his usual frantic and loud antics, screaming at viewers to purchase his merchandise after Youtube cut him from their top advertising program.
Meanwhile, Paul also made headlines when he went skydiving and his parachute didn't open.
The vlogger, who boasts over 16 million followers on YouTube, shared a photo of the faulty parachute on Twitter and explained how his life was ultimately saved by a second chute.
"Here's a photo of my empty pack after I had to cut away my main parachute because it didn't open", Paul captioned the photo.
"I can tell you – the feeling of the blue reserve parachute opening and functioning properly was miraculous. This has never happened to another student before at this school. LP lives on."
His brother, Jake, also came under fire recently for rapping the n-word in a video.

Back in the early September sunshine, we invited our supporters to take part in a Fun Walk, and support us they did.
Not only did our supporters have a fun day out after choosing to walk 3 miles or take part in a 1 mile stroll, but they raised plenty of funds for Kids Inspire too.
Looking back to all the fun enjoyed and the enthusiasm experienced on the day, we were even more delighted to receive match funding for funds already raised by the families that took part.
We were presented with the cheque by the Fun Walk Committee this week.
Thanks to everyone that took part, and thanks to the Fun Walk Committee too!
Here is to next years event…
About the Fun Walk
John Baron MP and his team started The Fun Walk in 2002 to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee. John has since chaired the Committee.
The Committee organises the walk and takes care of all the paperwork, including the supply of sponsorship forms. This leaves the projects free to focus on raising sponsorship money and enjoying the day.

Clothespin Ideas
In order to build hand strength for some of my students I developed a different way to sign-in in the beginning of the day. I made a large wheel out of foam board for (to be sturdy) and lined the outside of the wheel with colored electrical tape. Around the outside of the wheel I placed pieces of Velcro so I could have the children put their names or pictures on the board. Taking turns, each child had to "sign-in" by putting a cloths pin on the outside of the wheel next to their name. You can mount the whole wheel on anther board or my husband made me a A-frame out of wood. I'm not sure what is more fun for my students, spinning the wheel or placing the clothespin in the correct place on the wheel.
The clothespin theme would be great when used with the book Mrs. McNosh Hangs Up Her Wash.
Hanging out the laundry! I brought in my daughters Little Tykes washer/dryer, a basket of clothespins and all of her doll clothes and small plastic white baskets for laundry baskets. The kids took turns washing their doll clothes and hanging them out to dry. When they ran out of clothes they had to go back and take the "dry" laundry down. This is a excellent activity for turn taking and practicing the pincer grasp.

This sculpture is about bursting energy, exploding in all directions. Yet to make the best use of that energy, it is key to give it some direction.
Part of the ongoing series "I Can", where I systematically grow erratic and surrealistic natural shapes onto tin cans. The dialogue between each can and growth expresses a different emotion, mood or state of the mind. They are personal and talk about myself, putting into shape what I feel or go through. They are very intuitive work where I let my hands and the clay decide where to go after a rough sketch of the emotion I want to materialize.
If you have any questions about this artwork, don't hesitate to contact me.

Farage knows importance of standing up to Brussels
NIGEL Farage has warned that the appointment of arch-federalist Guy Verhofstadt as the European Parliament's top negotiator amounts to a "declaration of war on any sensible negotiating process".
Nigel Farage has branded Guy Verhofstadt a 'dangerous fanatic'
There are certainly plenty of figures with whom our Government would prefer to deal. Verhofstadt embodies all that is worst about the bloc's arrogant leadership.
Unelected and unaccountable he could not care less about the objections that people have to Brussels rule. It would be naive to expect him to appreciate the significance of the referendum result.
The idea of an independent state leaving and doing well represents a terrible threat to his beloved EU project.
Mr Farage has frequently clashed with the former Belgian PM
The last thing he wants is a prosperous Britain enticing other member states to go it alone. Such characters will continue to exert control over us until we have finally left.
With the Brexit process set to drag on it is clear that we still desperately need the presence of Ukip. Mr Farage has long been a thorn in the side of the Eurocrats.
By exposing their mistakes and holding them to account he has performed a vital public service. His successor has a lot to live up to.
Emergency services around Black Lives Matter protestors at London City Airport
Protesters deserve jail
The nine Black Lives Matter activists who grounded up to 131 flights out of London City airport caused travel chaos for thousands of passengers.
Flying is stressful enough without some middle-class eco-warriors deliberately making the whole thing worse. They have also raised serious security concerns.
The heightened terror threat is something we have grown used to in this day and age.
You can be sure that the likes of Islamic State will have taken great interest in the methods these fools used to gain access to the runway.
Yet in return for ruining journeys and risking the safety of future passengers they were all let off with a conditional discharge by a judge yesterday.
This is an irresponsible decision. Everybody has a right to protest. But they should do so safely, within the law and without causing undue disruption to people who are just trying to go about their lives.
Groups that fail to meet those conditions should be going to prison.
Mark Davey is so tall that when he stands up straight his face is hidden behind a shelf
A really lanky landlord
At 6ft 8in Mark Davey's height provides constant amusement to locals at the Nag's Head pub in York.
In fact he is so tall that when he stands up straight his face is hidden behind a shelf.
Still, he manages to pull pints perfectly well – just don't ask him for a short.

Sorry it took so long to get back to posting. Hope to do better in the future. Anyway I said in my last post that I wanted to tell you all more about the students I am working with, so here goes:
First I want to tell you about Pheaktra (pronounced like Petra). He has been a Christian for a little over 3 years. I first met him 3 years ago, the last time I was here. He was just a new Christian then and spoke very little English. The Lord has had his hand on Pheaktra from the beginning. Not long after he became a Christian he was asked to go out to one of the village churches to give his testimony. He stopped to get gas at a local station and also decided to fill out a form for a gas card (not unlike our card where you get free gas after every so many fill ups). Anyway, he had just finished filling out the form and started to walk over to the attendant to give it to him when suddenly a large steel beam from a construction site next door broke loose and crashed down exactly where he had been standing just seconds before. He says that at that time he realized 2 things, the enemy did not want him to go and that God was watching over him. His English is now much improved and getting better all the time.
He hopes to be able to act as an interpreter for the mission team next year. He told me when I got here that he had been praying for 3 years that the Lord would send someone he could learn English from (lessons with native speakers are too expense for college students to afford). So when Savy in Salt Lake City called him in January and told him to look for an apt for me, he was thrilled.
There is no question that Preaktra is now the leader of the group here in Phnom Penh. His faith in the Lord to take care of every situation is amazing. As is his clear love of the Lord. He is not only eager to learn more of God's word but wants to see the others learn it as well. He is constantly reviewing the sessions with them to be sure they understood everything and encouraging them to ask more questions.
He is also acting as a go between for the US based Vineyard Cambodian Partnership and the local pastors, whom he keeps in touch with through Facebook and Messenger. In January he made many of the arrangements for the mission team. He also makes regular trips out to the villages to preach and get to know them and their needs better. All this while attending Phnom Penh University where he is a dental student. Right now he is in the middle of exams, so please keep him in your prayers.
Next time I will tell you about one of the other students.

The overall diagnostic sensitivity of MRI is superior to CT, and as such MR can be used to image the vast majority of spinal disorders, with few exceptions (e.g. spinal trauma).
Routine survey radiographs are always recommended before proceeding with advanced imaging because the area of interest may be more specifically localized, thus reducing scanning time, and severe spinal/ osseous lesions, such as hemivertebrae or discospondylitis, may be identified without the need of advanced imaging studies.
In general CT is better suited for imaging of bone and mineralized foci or fragments. CT exam may be quicker and therefore require shorter anesthesia. Subsequently is the examination of choice in cases of spinal trauma.
MR provides superior contrast resolution and is better suited for imaging of soft tissues, such as the spinal cord, nerve roots, and intervertebral discs. Images can be acquired in multiple planes whereas CT images can only be acquired in one plane (transverse). Although CT images can be reformatted into any plane desirable, the image detail is slightly reduced on reformatted as compared with acquired images.
Myelography is still often used in conjunction with CT of the spine in order to compensate for the poor contrast resolution and soft tissue differentiation. This procedure (Myelo-CT) is invasive and may be associated with increased morbidity. Whereas MRI of the spine does not require such invasive procedure due to its ability to alter tissue contrast by applying different acquisition sequences

Mark Jankovich (2001) locates the emergence of Playboy in the 1950s in relation to a middle-brow culture of a new post-war petit bourgeoisie, which is defined against the transgressive excesses of an elite avant-garde on the one hand, and the puritanism of traditional forms of middle-brow culture on the other. In doing so, he emphasizes, as did Bourdieu, the ways in which taste operates as a means to establish and maintain distinctions in class status, which themselves work to legitimize other forms of class inequality. Class distinctions operate not simply as a binary division between bourgeois (upper-class) and popular (working-class) tastes in the well-known categories of 'high' and 'low' culture, but also between different fractions of the middle classes, where the struggles over taste are often most acute. The artists and intellectuals in this class are rich in 'cultural capital', if not in economic power, and have the confidence to challenge established aesthetic and ethical codes through avant-garde experimentation or appropriations of low culture. The traditional petit bourgeoisie (lower middle class) meanwhile have neither the economic nor the cultural capital to give authority to their tastes and a strong incentive to aspire to 'respectability' to differentiate themselves from the lower classes in their quest for social status. Their cultural anxiety is also manifest in their relationship to their bodies, which has none of the 'ease' that characterizes the upper and lower classes.
However, in Bourdieu's analysis, one of the most significant changes of the post-war period has been the rise of a 'new' petit bourgeoisie who are employed in media-related jobs such as fashion, advertising, public relations and, of course, television. They seek to establish their cultural credibility by defining themselves against this 'old-fashioned' lower middle-class respectability and instead embracing 'an ethic of fun' in an attempt to appear modern and sophisticated (Jankovich 2001: 6). This involves not 'wild abandon', but the 'calculated hedonism' identified by Mike Featherstone (1991a: 171) as characteristic of the 'cultural intermediaries' of contemporary consumer culture. Mark Jankovich, drawing on Bourdieu and Featherstone, explains how this affects their approach to sexuality.
The new petit bourgeoisie displays its distinction from the old through its 'liberated sexuality', but it is a 'liberation' that is only ever achieved through education, discipline and intense self-surveillance. The 'liberation' of the body from its 'repression' is therefore experienced simultaneously as the rediscovery of a natural self and as the enactment of a carefully controlled performance. It is both a liberation from alienation and a whole new mode of alienation.
(Jankovich 2001: 6)
This new class formation is responsible for the rise of the therapeutic society and its plethora of 'expert' guides on lifestyle and how to educate the self and discipline the body. It is also responsible, in its effort to distinguish itself from the 'old' petit bourgeoisie through negation, for 'a whole series of political movements and practices which are defined as alternative (health, environment) or oppositional (non-sexist, anti-racist)' (Jankovich 2001: 7).
Television can be understood as middle-brow culture par excellence. In its short history its approach to sexual representation can be seen to have moved from being defined entirely by the puritan restraint of the traditional petit bourgeoisie to a mixed schedule that also offers a range of more sexually explicit genres. The extremes of avant-garde sexual transgression or the low pornographic 'grotesque' of hard core are, largely, excluded except as heavily censored topics for documentary investigation. Softcore pornography and carnivalesque celebrations of sexual excess are relegated to the low status margins of the schedules. The programmes that have taken up a central place are those that offer 'lifestyle' guidance in the factual and fictional genres, which simultaneously offer 'fun' entertainment while educating the audience in the appropriate 'performance' of the sexualized self. Examples from fiction include soap opera 'issues' as sex education, nineteenth-century literary adaptations that focus on the social etiquette and erotic appeal of their characters, or contemporary 'quality' drama, such as Six Feet Under (HBO 2001—) or Queer as Folk (Channel 4 1999), that explore transgressive sexual identities of various kinds. In factual genres, ordinary people have become subject to voyeuristic, sexualized display in the new popular docusoap formats of the 1990s: the investigations of sexual lifestyles such as Adult Lives (BBC2 1999), Sex Life (Channel 5 1998) or Sex Bomb (Channel 4 1998), all series about changing attitudes to sex, or the series Real Sex (HBO), in which people reveal what turns them on. In reality game shows, such as Wife Swap (Channel 4 2003-) or Temptation Island (Sky One 2001—), people are subject to intense ethical scrutiny of how they conduct their relationships. More explicitly pedagogic expert guidance is provided by sex education formats, such as Sex Tips for Girls (Channel 4 2002) or The Truth about Gay Sex (Channel 4 2002). The mixture of purposes is balanced in different ways for different spaces in the schedule. The educational purpose comes to the fore on
terrestrial prime-time, while sexual pleasure is prioritized in more marginal spaces late at night or on cable.
Where 'fun' is to the fore the programmes are more likely to be addressed to a commercially defined 'youth' audience. We might call them the 'new, new petit bourgeoisie', the children of the generation studied by Bourdieu in the 1970s. Having grown up in a culture saturated with sexualized display and with an experience of television less dominated by the public service emphasis on 'improvement', they are at ease with the exhibitionist potential of 'infotainment'. This market has been developed most fully by the Murdoch-owned satellite company BSkyB on Sky One, in such series as the holiday resort Uncovered series that began with Ibiza Uncovered (1997). The 'uncut' video version cover blurb says: 'From the series that shocked the nation, Ibiza Uncut strips naked the island that offers sun, fun, sex and much more. Re-live the exploits of Jay and his 18-30s crew, the wild and raunchy "Manumission" night club.' Both this series and the equally popular terrestrial copy of the format, Club Reps (ITV 2002—), target the 16-34 audience with the carnivalesque excesses of their peer group on holiday. In the face of competition for this audience it was reported in the industry press that 'Channel chiefs have called for more, longer running "tits and bums" style programming to appeal to younger, post-pub viewers' (Robertson 2001). Temptation Island (Sky One 2001), a six-part series bought from the Murdoch-owned US network company Fox, aired on Sky One in the UK but was subsequently shown on late night Channel 4 as well. It used the same 'holiday' formula as the docusoaps but this time run as a Big Brother (Channel 4 2000-) style game. Three couples are taken to live on a tropical island, then separated and tempted into infidelity over a period of weeks by 26 single contestants. It has the same 'will they, won' t they' narrative drive of Big Brother but with the added frisson of betrayal, and flesh, revealed. Both these programmes dramatize the recurring sexual anxieties of the young but in the marginal, satellite version it is mixed with a more pornographic appeal.
This voyeuristic relation to ordinary people's sexual relationships gives some indication of the degree to which sexualized performance and display for the camera have ceased to be the preserve of a class of women who were quite other to 'respectable' people. Nor is there such a clear divide between the respectable audience for documentary and the despised 'dirty mac' brigade of sad misfit men that formed the stereotyped consumers of commercial pornography until relatively recently. For producers, performers and consumers of what might be termed television 'docuporn' the boundaries between 'us' and 'them' have been transgressed. Yet British (and USA) television is still primarily soft core, even at the margins, despite a court ruling in the US reaffirming the rights of cable companies to show what they want when they want (Backstein 2001: 304).
The continuing relevance of this distinction is examined by Laura Kertz (2002), who argues that the boundary between soft core and hard core needs to be understood not as a moral boundary that will eventually disappear as audiences become more liberated, but as a marketing category. Hard core caters for more specialized tastes.
Soft core is characterized by indirectness, working to reduce the anxiety people feel at watching arousing sexual imagery by wrapping it in extraneous 'noise' and misleading 'headers' whose function is to reassure people who are ambivalent about their reasons for watching (Kertz 2002: 1-9). Hard core is characterized by directness, by explicit appeals to specific desires that consumers have to ask for (over the counter, on a pay – per-view menu, using keywords on the Internet) (ibid.: 10-12). But, Kertz argues, both hard core and soft core co-exist within a larger consumer culture (ibid.: 19). Just as many consumers move across these divisions, so does the displayed content. In Kertz's view, the division between soft and hard core is a function not of the social regulation of taste or legality or normalization but of the regulative power of markets. Although hard core is 'considered the province of artists, academics and the truly depraved – those generally perceived as above or below morality' (ibid.: 20), in fact hard core is defined by its specialist appeal. It uses the soft core mainstream to advertise. In my view, however, this sets up a false dichotomy. Markets for pornography are based on distinctions in taste that have developed as a result of moral discourses and the political power to establish them as norms.
The way that television now functions to advertise hard core pornography is well illustrated by a series on the pornography business, Sex and Shopping (Channel 5 1998-2001). The series was structured around the boundary between soft and hard core, offering British audiences glimpses of sexual material they had been unable to view on television before. Its production values and style were noticeably 'trashy'; that is, low budget and oriented to pleasure rather than education. A handful of interviews with sex shop entrepreneurs, edited into brief sound bites, were intercut with location shots of sex shops and their merchandise from inside and out, and images from porn magazines and videos that exemplify the topic under discussion. These provide the 'sexually explicit scenes' that viewers were warned of (or promised) in the introduction to the programme. Its first graphic extols us to 'Turn off or turn on' to 'Sex sex sex' in bright neon letters, over a montage of sexual imagery and accompanied by brassy stripper-type music. It was clear from the start that this 'frank look at the global pornography business' was intended to arouse sexually as well as to inform. For a British audience it provides tantalizing glimpses of the hard core porn available legally in Europe or illegally in Soho. 'What do you get for your money?', asks a breezy voiceover from Davina McCall (now famous for hosting the Big Brother shows). 'Seventy – two minutes of tape. 15 blow jobs, 14 scenes of vaginal sex, 13 anal, 12 come shots and an orgy from the eight performers involved. Not bad for £20 even if the quality left something to be desired.'
Its documentary format distinguished it from straight pornography, however. A legitimating journalistic intention motivated the investigation: the programme contested British laws censoring hard core. Two academic experts, both anti-censorship (Tom Dewes Matthews and Bill Thompson), made brief appearances decrying the effects of censorship on the British porn business. The 'noise' of journalistic purpose, calling into question the domestic laws on pornography, and the cheeky 'header' warning/enticing viewers to 'turn off or turn on' failed, however, to assuage viewer anxiety. Despite its late night slot Sex and Shopping attracted numerous complaints to the ITC and BSC in its first season, several of which were upheld, forcing them to be re-edited for the repeats. The BSC declared that six of the programmes included scenes that were 'unacceptable for broadcast at any time' because they showed the female sex organs in detail and the reality of what was taking place, including sexual intercourse (BSC 1999). The way that regulatory boundaries help to promote sexually explicit material to new audiences is demonstrated several times over in this example. The programme used censorship laws as an excuse to show hard core material to a mass – market audience so they would know what was available if they asked for it. Channel 5 used the announcement of the BSC's censure to launch the next series, thereby promoting not only the programme but also its own brand identity as a channel. As a new channel with low viewing figures, it deliberately stepped over the soft core line as a strategy to innovate in a crowded market place and thereby attract audiences. Sex and Shopping did a lot to establish Channel 5 in the minds of its potential viewers as a broadcaster of sleaze, which it is now so keen to leave behind, despite its nonjudgemental, 'journalistic' gloss.
Presenting their anti-censorship campaign as a feminist goal provided further legitimation for Sex and Shopping. The series included a hagiography of a German woman entrepreneur, Beatte Uhse, who is dubbed the 'Queen Mother of Porn'. Her status as a feminist heroine is secured in several ways. As a pilot in the war, she is pictured in her flying helmet, evoking memories of those other female heroines of early aviation. Her business began as an illegal, mail-order contraceptive and advice service for unmarried women, making her a post-war Marie Stopes counteracting the suffering women experienced as a result of their ignorance about sex. Her £100 million turnover is offered as a role model for younger women entrepreneurs who aspire to her economic success. Women are presented as where the future of the sex industry is heading and now the biggest growth market, with Europe leading the way. As one of the sex shop entrepreneurs interviewed for the programme says of his business, 'Everything is changing at a pace unknown before. We have to run to stay up with the market.' The involvement of women in the sex industry and the way in which anti-censorship feminist discourses have been used to legitimize pornography is taken up further in Chapter 6, which looks at documentaries on the sex industry. The next section of this chapter considers the ways in which women's access as consumers of pornography has been enabled by this development and by the availability of soft-core pornography on television.

Got Voice?
The casting director for some of TV's top animated shows is all ears.
Linda Lamontagne sees herself as more of a coach than the casting director of several popular animated series — including Netflix's BoJack Horseman, Cartoon Network's Robot Chicken and Crackle's SuperMansion, premiering its third season on May 7.
"We're all on the same team," she says, "trying to get someone to a job. And I'm going to help them get there."
That mentality leads Lamontagne to help performers with their lines, often talking them through their scripts over the phone. She is equally generous when it comes to submissions. "I'll let anybody and everybody audition," she says. "If they're willing to lay it down, I'm willing to listen."
The casting director, who won the Casting Society of America's (CSA) 2018 Artios Award for her work on BoJack Horseman — after claiming three of the five TV animation nominations — has also worked on Family Guy, American Dad!, The Powerpuff Girls, The Magic School Bus Rides Again and TBS's upcoming Close Enough.
She first became interested in casting while working at a talent agency, deciding a year later — during a brief stint at a distribution company — to drop off a stack of résumés at the CSA, where one was picked up by casting director Karen Vice. "I couldn't have had a better mentor," Lamontagne remembers. "She'd just come off Moonlighting, and she decided to give me a shot."
It was under Vice's tutelage that she worked on the 1990s comedy classics Roseanne and Cybill. In 1999 she was launched into animation by the Fox sitcom Family Guy. While she didn't set out to work strictly in voiceover casting, she says now: "I love the animation world. You can go anywhere with it. You're not reliant upon what somebody looks like."
That openness to finding talent from any source means that Lamontagne rarely stops working. "When I'm out in public and hear somebody with an interesting voice, I'll ask them if they want to audition," she says.
She even makes use of the occasional bout of insomnia, combing the internet late at night for potential talent, frequently returning to the same well: talk shows. "I really get the essence of the performer, because they come to life," she explains. "Especially if it's a great interviewer who lets them perform. You'll get little pieces of them doing a voice or going into character."
Lamontagne also turns to singers ("They're able to work a microphone, and a crowd") and performers on multi-camera sitcoms ("It's almost like theater, where they have to play to a live audience"). To stay focused during auditions, she often doesn't watch the actors, instead listening and hoping that they'll convey a character's movement and emotion with their voice.
"In live action, you have everything in front of you to connect with," she says. "But in voiceover, you're in a booth by yourself, having to create an entire world. And we as an audience have to hear it."

Suggest treatment for remission of the graves and hyperthyroidism
Question: I had Graves Disease with hyperthyroidism for almost 3 years now I'm am in remission of the graves and hyperthyroidism. its been about almost 2 years now my remission, what are my odds of me coming back, and what can bring it on. what sign will I have if it returns. and what are my chances of surviving it again. if I get it back will it be as worst as before. what can I do to prevent it from coming back.
Brief Answer: Graves, Need management, odds explained Detailed Answer: Good day XXXX thank you for asking. I am Dr Suleman and i would like to help you with the odds for Graves disease remission. Miss XXXXXXX i want you to know that remission in graves disease depends upon the persistent thyroid tissue even after ablation. The odds are high if there is still that tissue left or TSI antibodies are high in titres. In which case it will need further radioactive iodine and ablation therapy. Usually Post hyperthyroidism people get hypothyroid and they are replaced with thyroid hormones lifelong thyroxine. Now what you can do to prevent is keep in touch with self educating aspects of this disease. and avoid any medicines that contain alpha-adrenergic agonists such as ephedrine or pseudoephedrine a common active ingredient in over the counter cough and cold remedies. WWW.WWWW.WW WWW.WWWW.WW Above two links are best source of self education and recommended by American college of endocrinology. you should also watch for fever, sore throat, and throat ulcers etc which are very common in thyroid medicines. Plus you should also get screened or stay alert for other autoimmune disorders as graves disease patients are prone to them compared to rest of the population like Rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimotos, pernicious anemia, systemic lupus erythematosus, XXXXXXX disease, celiac disease, and vitiligo etc. Rest you need monitoring or follow ups for any graves related collateral damage like opthalmopathy, cardiac decomprensation, osteoporosis, psychiatric manifestation etc. Now the symptoms severity on recurrence purely depends on treatment delay. the more you delay the more the symptom will worsen. And yes there are pretty much chances surviving recurrences even. Mortality is not an issue here. Morbidity is. Hope Miss XXXXXXX you got what you were here for. Keep in touch and get me posted and don't forget to close the discussion. Take care

This is memorial piece of three brave men Alexei Ananenko, Valeri Bezpalov and Boris Baranov. All three of them dove into Chernobyl's radioactive waters in 1986 to
prevent the 4th reactor from blowing up which would have killed millions of
lives and made Europe uninhabitable by radiation. They prevented that from happening, very sad to say they died from radiation sickness. I never heard
of these precious souls until recently and felt spiritually compelled to do a
painting of all 3 of them. Everyone should know who these 3 selfless great
men were. Unfortunately I could not locate a photo of Boris Baranov the
man in the middle but I wanted to include him regardless.
Here is the blog where I found out about them.

With Haugen Architecture
Hutchinson, Minnesota
Master Plan, Addition and Remodeling
Churches in Minnesota history have fine, satisfying proportions and crisp discreet lines and edges. Some with Gothic arches are subtly arranged to provide a feeling of both stable centrality and lift. There are no two churches exactly alike, and most of them have been altered since their original construction. Many have had wide porches built onto their fronts that have thrown their proportions out of balance and interfered with the uninterrupted visual rise of the tower, with humble grace and propriety that generally characterized people's faith.
Death of the Dream, William G. Gabler
I grew up in a small town wood frame church with the front steps in front of the uninterrupted tower. I remember, that's where we posed for our annual Sunday School photograph. Some rural, some urban, yet each one of these treasures carries on the tradition of the Lutheran faith in Minnesota.
For Mount Olivet Church in Minneapolis, the first chapel was built for $3000. The chapel served the congregation until the present church was completed in 1939. While Mount Olivet has grown to become one of the largest Lutheran churches in America, it remains grateful to the vision of its early leaders.
Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota
Vision. Vision of their church. Vision of their community. Vision of their faith. Peace Lutheran Church carries on this tradition. An impressive example of neo Gothic architecture, it is well maintained and preserved. In retail vocabulary, this is the "anchor" tenant to respect and complement. In return, it promotes and creates spin-off activity which, when done right, with the right architecture, the financial benefits flow for years to come, 10 times over.
Peace Lutheran Church is situated on the edge of a Downtown Revitalization Master Plan with initiatives to reorient traffic controls to Main Street rather than through the neighborhood; encourage community variety of housing products over the next five years; support existing businesses by the ability to walk to churches, shopping, or entertainment. Actions that are both long term investments in Hutchinson's future and that preserve signficant features of Hutchinson.
The fundamental elements of a neighborhood are walkable streets, human-scaled blocks, and usable public spaces.
The Regional City, Peter Calthorpe, William Fulton
A sense of place: for worship, education, Little Lambs Christian Preschool, church library, youth groups, service groups, music, pastoral care, video resources. The Vision for Peace Lutheran Church is to best "be stewards where the Peace of Christ is shared through God's Holy Word and the friendship of its people".
