- An assortment of craft and planting supplies
- The first step is to design invitations. Gather up old gardening magazines and seed catalogs, purchase plant-related stickers or print out garden images from the internet. Next give the children glue sticks, scissors and construction paper and let creativity take flight. Encourage them to create colorful designs using clipped pictures of vegetables, fruits and flowers on the front of the paper, then add the party details on the back. You might say "Roses are red, violets are blue, (child's name) is turning (age) and wants to invite you … to her Garden Birthday Party!" Or maybe, "Red are tomatoes, green is my thumb, it's (child's name) (age) birthday, I hope you'll come!"
- Plan the decorations. If the birthday falls in summertime, decorate with bunches of flowers from your garden or bowls mounded with colorful fresh vegetables. If it's too early to pick your own, a trip to the dollar store might yield plastic fruits, vegetables and flowers for very little cost.
Tie multi-colored helium-filled balloons into bunches, and tape a ring of green construction paper "leaves" around the bottom to make floating bouquets. For fall birthdays, a sheaf of cornstalks and a pile of pumpkins can set a harvest theme.
Set the table with a flowered tablecloth or perhaps a red and white checked one.
- Plan a planting activity. Steps include:
- Decorate a flower pot. Purchase a 4-inch clay pot for each child along with some craft paints and inexpensive brushes. Have a supply of old shirts on hand to use as smocks (or ask each child to bring one from home). Let the kids decorate the pots, then set them aside to dry while games are played and refreshments are served.
- Pop in a plant. Once the pots are dry, let each child pot up a flower or vegetable seedling to take home. If it's spring, you might have marigolds or pansies to plant. Or you might have tomato or pepper seedlings that could be transferred to a garden at home. At other times of the year you might purchase small, easy-to-grow houseplants such as spider plants or African violets.
- Plant seeds. If plants are not available, planting seeds is another option. Waiting for a seed to push through the soil is an exciting prospect for children, especially if it's one he or she has planted. Choose large seeds that are easy to handle, such as pumpkins, beans or zinnias.
- Plan a craft activity. Make a plant pal using a pair of old pantyhose, a little bit of soil and some grass seed. Steps include:
Cut a 6 to 8 inch long piece of panty hose (any color will work). If your piece does not include a toe, then knot one end of the hose and turn it inside out. It will end up looking like a little pantyhose bag.
Next scoop 2 to 3 teaspoons of grass seed into the closed end. Fill the rest of the hose with potting mix and tie the hose closed. Use your hands to gently shape the ball into a head shape.
Place the head in a shallow dish with the grass seed side on top. Use craft pieces such as wiggle eyes, buttons, pompom balls, felt and chenille sticks to make eyes, a nose, mouth and arms. Attach with craft glue.
When the kids get home and after glue has dried, tell them to carefully water their Plant Pal until the soil is thoroughly moist and place in a warm location. Within 3 to 5 days, the Plant Pal will begin to grow hair.
- Plan some games. Here are a few ideas:
- Watering Can or Soil Relay: Ask children to use a small plastic watering can to ferry water from one bucket to fill another. Or to really get their hands dirty, use a small shovel or trowel to transfer a heap of soil from a pile to a bucket-- the team that's first to fill theirs is the winner. Make sure attendees know to wear play clothes to the party.
- Host a Garden Treasure Hunt: Hide plastic fruits and vegetables around the yard for eager seekers to discover. Or get some plastic insects and have a bug hunt!
- Pin the Bee on the Flower: Create your own "Pin the" game like Pin the Bee on the Flower or Pin the Tomato Hornworm on the Tomato.
- Read a Garden Story: If things get too wild, settle things down by reading aloud the inspiring and wonderfully illustrated children's book, Miss Rumphius, by Barbara Cooney. It tells the story of a woman who, to fulfill her grandfather's directive to make the world a more beautiful place, decides to do so by planting lupine seeds wherever she goes, so that all can enjoy these beautiful flowers.
- Decide on refreshments. Instead of a birthday cake, make individual cupcakes. Decorate them to look like flower blossoms – sunflowers, daisies and roses.
Serve a platter of fresh vegetables and dip. Cut radishes into roses. Use a cookie cutter to cut cucumber and pepper slices into flower shapes. Eat 'dirt'! Purchase some 4-inch plastic flower pots and wash them well. Insert a paper cup filled with chocolate pudding inside each pot. Crumble some chocolate sandwich cookies across the surface, stick a plastic flower into the "dirt" and have some Gummi Worms peeking out. Kids will love it!
- Don't forget the party favors! Send children off with packets of seeds, kid-size garden gloves, small watering cans, sheets of flower stickers, Gummi Worms-- and, perhaps, a little nibble from the gardening bug.

The Madison Rastafarian church operated from this building.
Madison's sole Rastafarian church—operating from an unassuming red-and-white building located at 555 W. Mifflin St.—was raided on Wednesday, May 29, by city police. The reason? The church was freely distributing cannabis plants, edibles and oil as a religious sacrament. Founders Jesse Schworck and Dylan Bangert were arrested, according to the Madison Police Department, but little information is available as it is an ongoing investigation. The Wisconsin State Journal reports they have been released while awaiting trial but cannot continue their activities; the church's social media updates claim that all the charges were dropped.
The Lion of Judah House of Rastafari church was created in April 2019 and quickly gathered 20,000 members. In order to receive marijuana, members simply needed to register—which only required an ID and a signature—and were invited to donate to the church, although the cannabis itself was free. To prove they are an official, incorporated and tax-exempt church, the founders display on their website the relevant documents from both the federal and state governments.
Almost immediately after opening its doors, the Lion of Judah House had already found itself in trouble with the law. Following a police raid, during which some cannabis was seized, as well as a cease-and-desist letter from the city attorney demanding the closure of the church, the founders have chosen to pursue legal action against the city and police department.
"We filed a federal lawsuit against them to leave us alone and to return our property," Schworck said Tuesday, just hours before being arrested. "They [the police] made a big mistake that day, and I think they walked into a situation they were not familiar with. They know they can't come here. I have a liberty and rights."
Can Religious Freedom Exempt You From Cannabis Prohibition?
The church's founders argue that, according to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, they are free to use even a banned substance like cannabis as part of their religious rituals, and there is a long tradition of religious exceptions to the Controlled Substances Act in this country.
The Native American Church uses peyote, a psychoactive Schedule I drug used in rituals, as a sacrament. The use of peyote has been made legal for any individual practicing ceremonies of the Native American Church. More recently, in Oregon, the Church of the Holy Light of the Queen won a lawsuit and is now allowed to import and use DMT, an illegal hallucinogenic drug, for the same reasons.
It would then stand to reason that the Rastafarian church would be granted the same rights, as that religion considers cannabis a holy herb. "In Genesis, you can read that God gave us an herb; in the Hebrew bible, there is the word kaneh-bosm, the root of the English word 'cannabis,'" Schworck explained. "So, cannabis was mentioned in the bible, and Moses was instructed to make a holy oil with kaneh-bosm. We use it as an oil as well, as an incense... we don't use it as a drug to intoxicate ourselves. We use it when we pray, meditate and reason as a way to raise our minds."
However, the religious use of marijuana is far more difficult to defend; given the popularity of cannabis on the black market, it makes it more likely for the courts to believe that it is simply a ploy to consume and sell marijuana. Such a case in Indiana ended with the justices determining that cannabis cannot be a religious sacrament. To date, the most famous cannabis church is the THC Ministry, founded in 2000 in Hawaii, the "ministers" of which were found guilty of violating the Controlled Substances Act and sentenced to several years in prison.
When asked if he hoped his church would be allowed to continue distributing cannabis, Schworck said, "It is not hope; I already know the outcome. We're on the right side of history. These people sold cannabis; we don't." According to him, a lack of faith on the part of the THC Ministry's ministers was to blame for their demise; the fact Schworck's faith is genuine, he claims, is what will allow the Lion of Judah House of Rastafari church to keep existing.

'Ditch the dogma' seeks to question why we continue to do certain things like defunctioning a low anastomosis, doing rectal cancer operations in every hospital, and surgeons still doing colonoscopy, should we not leave it to gastroenterologists?
The bee's knees highlights innovations such as colon capsule, immunofluorescence and artificial intelligence in surgery not to mention the use of faecal odour.
There are updates on managing pilonidal sinus, rectovaginal fistulae and perineal herniae, how to do a rafaelo procedure, and an epsit procedure.
UK and international keynote speakers present their experience on topics as diverse as fistula in ano, emergency colorectal surgery, surgical variation and the changing face of surgical research.
Left of field sessions cover topics such as how to be a great trainer, how to do research as a busy consultant, and how to look after yourself. There are tips on pensions, getting an award, working abroad, how to handle yourself in court and even how to write a novel.
Finally we reveal our skeletons in the closet; our worst nightmares, how to cope when things go wrong and when the lawyers get involved.
This is a very brief flavour of events but there is much much more
We do hope you will join us.

Course Code : 88PMOPGXXHCD
Blend of personal coaching, self-paced learning & practical assignment
Of late, PMO (Project & Program Management Office) is becoming a watchword in the industry. It is indeed a good sign. However one needs to follow certain discipline to seek the maximum yield from this domain. PMO plays (should play) extremely important role in Building PM Competencies in the organization.
What is observed is extreme dearth of competent people. This incompetency is not only on skill-based, it is also observed on the front of willingness. The self-esteem and the esteem for the role of PMO itself is very low. The reason behind this is abuses of PMO.
Lately, the need for "true" PMOs is felt. And hence, it is high time to develop competent people who will be able to adopt the mindset of being & developing PMO. The simple thumb-rule so far I have observed is 1:3.5. It means that the person working with this mindset gets exposure & development of 3.5 years in 1 year.
This learning intervention is designed for interested & committed people.
Learning Objectives:
Suggested Methodology :
Note: The personal coaching sessions shall mainly be Question Answer based. The personal coaching will be more effective if the participants come forward with their difficulties, queries, references, etc.
Sessions and Rhythm:
Participants Kit:
|The "PM Competencies" book is a part of "Wonderland of PMO" book, connected via chapter 10. The PM Competencies book consists of Questions. The participants are expected to solve these questions prior to interaction with DG.
|Duration: 5 Weeks

Accelerated Sepsis Diagnosis by Seamless Integration of Nucleic Acid Purification and Detection
<bold>Background</bold> The diagnosis of sepsis is challenging because the infection can be caused by more than 50 species of pathogens that might exist in the bloodstream in very low concentrations, e.g., less than 1 colony-forming unit/ml. As a result, among the current sepsis diagnostic methods there is an unsatisfactory trade-off between the assay time and the specificity of the derived diagnostic information. Although the present qPCR-based test is more specific than biomarker detection and faster than culturing, its 6 ~ 10 hr turnaround remains suboptimal relative to the 7.6%/hr rapid deterioration of the survival rate, and the 3 hr hands-on time is labor-intensive. To address these issues, this work aims to utilize the advances in microfluidic technologies to expedite and automate the ``nucleic acid purification - qPCR sequence detection'' workflow.
<bold>Methods and Results</bold> This task is evaluated to be best approached by combining immiscible phase filtration (IPF) and digital microfluidic droplet actuation (DM) on a fluidic device. In IPF, as nucleic acid-bound magnetic beads are transported from an aqueous phase to an immiscible phase, the carryover of aqueous contaminants is minimized by the high interfacial tension. Thus, unlike a conventional bead-based assay, the necessary degree of purification can be attained in a few wash steps. After IPF reduces the sample volume from a milliliter-sized lysate to a microliter-sized eluent, DM can be used to automatically prepare the PCR mixture. This begins with compartmenting the eluent in accordance with the desired number of multiplex qPCR reactions, and then transporting droplets of the PCR reagents to mix with the eluent droplets. Under the outlined approach, the IPF - DM integration should lead to a notably reduced turnaround and a hands-free ``lysate-to-answer'' operation.
As the first step towards such a diagnostic device, the primary objective of this thesis is to verify the feasibility of the IPF - DM integration. This is achieved in four phases. First, the suitable assays, fluidic device, and auxiliary systems are developed. Second, the extent of purification obtained per IPF wash, and hence the number of washes needed for uninhibited qPCR, are estimated via off-chip UV absorbance measurement and on-chip qPCR. Third, the performance of on-chip qPCR, particularly the copy number - threshold cycle correlation, is characterized. Lastly, the above developments accumulate to an experiment that includes the following on-chip steps: DNA purification by IPF, PCR mixture preparation via DM, and target quantification using qPCR - thereby demonstrating the core procedures in the proposed approach.
<bold>Conclusions</bold> It is proposed to expedite and automate qPCR-based multiplex sparse pathogen detection by combining IPF and DM on a fluidic device. As a start, this work demonstrated the feasibility of the IPF - DM integration. However, a more thermally robust device structure will be needed for later quantitative investigations, e.g., improving the bead - buffer mixing. Importantly, evidences indicate that future iterations of the IPF - DM fluidic device could reduce the sample-to-answer time by 75% to 1.5 hr and decrease the hands-on time by 90% to approximately 20 min.

Every time you get in a motor vehicle, you're taking a risk. Even for the most skilled of drivers, operating a car, truck, or other automobile is inherently dangerous. Being safe isn't about eliminating the risk of injury to yourself and others, because that's simply not possible. It's about limiting that risk, managing it to drive as safely as possible.
That applies just as much to those who drive professionally as to those who do it recreationally or simply for transportation. That's why risk management throughout your business' fleet of vehicles is one of the most important responsibilities a transportation or fleet manager has – because lives depend on it.
Here are some steps you can take to make sure your drivers and vehicles are as safe as possible.
Comprehensive driver training
Most of the people who are operating your vehicles and equipment are likely to be very capable and skilled drivers. Training can help keep those skills sharp, and help refresh knowledge of rules of the road and job site. But there's more to it than just that.
No driver operates in a vacuum. A good training program will allow you to assess, critique, and improve how your drivers interact with other drivers on the road, and how they interact with their colleagues and surroundings on a job site. Being able to ace a closed-course test, after all, doesn't mean a lot if aggression or recklessness take over in the real world.
Observe safety on the roads
And training doesn't mean a lot if it doesn't translate to actual driving. Aggressive and unsafe driving practices don't just put your drivers and others at risk of injury, it can also cost you money.
Speeding is a fairly common offense, but it can do a lot of damage. It's dangerous in and of itself. It can lead to other dangerous behaviors, like swerving through traffic and cutting off other drivers, and if an accident happens, it increases the severity by magnitudes. It also reduces fuel mileage and causes undue wear and tear on vehicles, which can mean breakdowns that shouldn't be happening.
Monitoring fleet driving practices reduces the risk of collisions and injury, and reduces the risk of damage to vehicles and property. Knowing what your team is doing on the road and in the field is critical.
Limit unnecessary driving
The more drivers drive, the greater the risk. That's just common sense, and beyond simply saving miles and money, it's why limiting the amount of driving your drivers are doing is a smart move. That doesn't mean turning down jobs or cutting service. It means helping your crew to drive more efficiently.
Information is key here. If you know the routes your drivers are using – meaning they're planned, and there's accountability for drivers who leave the route without a good reason – you can constantly analyze them, look for alternatives, and seek out the most efficient route. You can also look at vehicle use during off-hours, and set limits on what employees can and can't do when they're not on the clock to prevent further risk to them, your vehicles, and your business.
Regular maintenance
Breakdowns are inconvenient. They take vehicles off the road, and make it harder for your business to function and your jobs to get done. But when you look at your fleet through the lens of risk management, a breakdown can be a disaster. Poorly maintained vehicles can become unsafe to drive and use, and if a driver or manager doesn't know maintenance is needed, a small problem can snowball into something big. A belt can snap, or an axle can break, or an engine can blow out. If that happens on the road, it could end in injuries – or worse.
Proactive maintenance helps prevent that from happening. Regular diagnostics on the engine, brakes, and other vital systems help catch trouble miles before it arrives. Monitoring vehicle emissions can also help locate engine trouble that might not be caught otherwise, and regular tune-ups and oil changes keep vehicles running longer and safer.
Protect your drivers, protect your business
As manager of a fleet, part of your duty is to manage risk and make your drivers as safe as possible. It protects them, it protects your investment in your vehicles, and it keeps you from ending up in insurance or lawsuit limbo. You need tools to be successful, though – and Synovia Solutions™ fleet management technology can do the job. It provides detailed location and diagnostic data that allows you to monitor routes, prevent breakdowns, and minimize risk as much as possible.

Optum Care Network – Utah and Landmark Health bring care to you at home.
Optum Care Network – Utah has teamed up with Landmark to deliver in-home medical care to members with multiple chronic conditions.
Patients struggling with mental health often have a more difficult time managing their overall health.
Mental health refers to a person's emotional, psychological and social well-being. It impacts how one thinks, feels and acts. Because of the broad scope and impact of mental health, at Landmark we refer to mental health as "behavioral health." And it's a strong part of our care model.
We consider the behavioral health needs of each of our patients. In fact, all of our home-based providers are educated in treating behavioral health issues and we also have specialty providers that include psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, technicians and social workers.
Our behavioral health care is driven by patient need. It may include help managing any of the following conditions or situations:
World Mental Health Day is a good reminder that it is important to talk about mental health. It's more common than you may think. In fact, one in five adults in America – 43.8 million people – experience mental illness. This is 18.5% of our total population. (Source: National Alliance on Mental Illness)
It's important to know that recovery from most behavioral health problems is possible. If you or a loved one is suffering from a behavioral health problem, please talk to someone. If you are a Landmark patient, know that we are here for you and we encourage you to call us any time, as you would for any medical issue.
Patients in the Landmark program can reach a provider by calling 877-240-3112.

Both women and men are coloring their hair on a monthly basis and, if you are one of them, than you should learn how to treat colored hair so it wouldn't damage.
Even after washing with unsuitable shampoo, both your skin and hair can suffer a lot of damage. It can become dry or rarer. To prevent this, you need to pay attention on hair and skin care. They require a lots of moisturizing and quality products. First of all, you can't take any color for your hair. It is said that the best ones are the ones containing oil, but it would be the best if you would consult your hair stylist or dermatologists. Another thing is the care after treatment. Your hair and now will be exposed to all kind of influences and be very sensitive as well. This is why it is important to have all different kinds of natural products to make your hair stronger and immune to everything. Honey and eggs are said to be great treatments for hair, even if it's not colored or anything. They contain many ingredients that make your hair stronger and healthier, and therefore younger, prettier and with lots of volume.
As mentioned before, you have to pay attention on shampoo you are using. The best ones are the ones sulfate-free. And why is that? First of all, you don't want to damage your hair even more, and second, you don't want to wash out the color, which is most likely to happen with shampoos that contain these chemicals. You will get the point when you realize that this supstance is so strong that it is also used for a house cleaning products. They are proven to frizz and damage your hair, which is why, according to all standards, there are 13 best sulfate-free shampoo brands for color treated hair that you have to have if you want to keep your hair vital.

I was going to title this article, "2021, F*ck You."
Anyone who knows me knows that I don't swear.
But 2021 pushed me to my limits. It made me feel powerless, vulnerable, and scared for my life.
From lining up to get COVID-19 tests to being taken in an ambulance ride to the emergency ward at 2:00 a.m. at night with anaphylaxis, 2021 is the year I will not forget any time soon (even though I really, really want to).
In all of my life, I have never had an allergic reaction quite so bad. The worst part? The cause is unknown, and I am on an "elimination diet" to find a cause.
And if anaphylaxis in itself wasn't bad enough, being restricted from eating delicious foods over Christmas is an experience in itself.
Jokes aside, I am holding on to the red wristband from the hospital as a reminder of what a nightmare this year has been and how lucky I am to be alive.
I know that many of us are praying and hoping for a better year in 2022, but on the eve of the new year here in Sydney, it feels as if 2021 is trying to hold on.
Our Covid cases have risen by over 10,000 overnight, and the narrative of "personal responsibility" continues to be pushed upon us.
I quietly question the notion of personal responsibility in the view of public health and just as quietly pull my mask on a little tighter.
Whilst previous years have seen people camped out for the best spot for Sydney's fireworks, this afternoon, the Harbour is as bare as can be.
As this evening inches closer, I wonder if people will come out as they have in previous years.
In my heart of hearts, 2022 does not look any better, and I pray that I am entirely wrong.
Sometimes, I wonder what "better" even looks like anymore. Is it a world free of Covid? Is it a united world? Is it consistent leadership?
If this year has taught me anything at all, it is that resilience is not an alternative to self-care. You are not required to pull your socks up or put on a brave face when confronted with adversity.
As I take a deep breath and a solemn sigh, I am reminded of grief—the loss of anything that means something to us.
We are grieving.
We are collectively grieving.
We are grieving the loss of our lives as we knew it.
We are grieving the plans that never eventuated.
We are grieving the future we want to have but can't quite foresee just yet.
As we would grieve the death of a loved one, I invite us to grieve the death of all that could not be in the year that was.
Let's grieve the moments we missed out on.
Let's grieve the canceled plans and jobs lost.
Let's grieve the people who are no longer with us.
2021 reminded me of my mortality.
It reminded me of how easily my plans could come to a halt and how quickly my breath could simply stop.
It reminded me that no matter how many precautions I take with my health and life, there are invisible threats that I can never prepare for.
It reminded me that toxic positivity is the last thing I want to hear when I am in the throes of grief.
And it reminded me that as much as we are together, grief is also lonely.
I encourage you to close your eyes and quieten your mind. Take a breath and acknowledge your grief.
Let 2021 rest in peace.
May 2022 be a better year for us all. May it bring us hope, love, and laughter abound.
Wishing you a safe and peaceful New Year.

Governor Walz has signed an executive order to stay at home and shut down all non-essential businesses in Minnesota for at least two weeks. This action discourages people from leaving their homes. This time period will slow the spread and give health care workers the essential time they need to prepare for the peak of this virus in our state. The order is effective Friday, March 27, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. to Friday, April 10, 2020.
There are many exceptions in these types of orders. Essential workers, like doctors and police officers and grocery staff, can go to work. Additionally, people can go shopping for food and household items and will be able to pick up their prescriptions.
This is not an exhaustive list, but also includes:
Essential Services that will continue working during this executive order:
By staying home, we will limit the spread of COVID-19 in our communities while we build out the capacity of our health care system. The virus will still be here when this two-week period is over, but we'll be better prepared.
Together, as One Minnesota, we can save lives.

Recently, I've talked a bit about this pregnancy, and the genetic disorder I share with my 2 sons, and potentially this baby as well. What I haven't talked about yet, is my 8 year old. My birth son.
Each child I have, I learned, has a 50/50 chance of inheriting this brutal disease. We know I have it, we know my 5 and 3 year old have it….but we don't know if my 8 year old birth son does. I have been open and honest with his adoptive parents about EVERY aspect of this all along the way. When they consulted with a geneticist a few years ago, the doctor decided it "wasn't necessary" to test him. I disagreed, but it wasn't my place. I shut my mouth, and kept my thoughts to myself. They didn't understand the severity or the risk.
Within the last few weeks, I have reached out again. Again, I asked about genetic testing, and if they ever did formally test him. They said they didn't, and I gave them more information about the disease, about what we go through, and about how it progresses. Trying to inform them as much as possible. I think now, they are more aware and understand of the true risk of this.
A few days after that conversation, they texted me again and asked if I would "ask my doctors if they thought it was necessary to test him". Well, I certainly didn't need to ask anyone, and I replied:
"When I spoke to the geneticist she told me that there is a 50/50 chance that with each child I have it can be passed to them. It's autosomal dominant. Personally, I would definitely get him tested and all of the doctors I have spoken to agree that any children I have (now or future) need to be tested for it sooner rather than later. I'm getting an amniocentesis on Monday to see if this baby also carries the gene because the doctors think it's significant enough to not wait around to test. With me, my symptoms were largely ignored and overlooked and I didn't get a lot of treatment I should have until much later in life, which has made harder for me. Especially with the risk to their hearts, I think it's definitely worth at least knowing. Even if he doesn't have "obvious" symptoms, if he had the gene, he should be followed by cardio."
They seemed greatful for the information, and hopefully now, they are going to get him tested. Honestly, that is such a enormous relief to me. I just want to know. I need to know.
For years, all I have wanted to know is if I burdened my son with this same genetic disorder that my other 2 boys have. Not knowing has pained me so, so much. Not knowing if he has symptoms, pain, things being overlooked like it always was with me…
I've never "regretted" my decision to place him for adoption (except for every single day of my life thereafter), but this thing, this fact…this not knowing if he has this thing that can kill him…..it is the one thing that has truly made me question if he really might have been better off with me.
Maybe if he were with me, I would've picked up on the symptoms like I did with my 5 year old when he was an infant. Maybe if he were with me, I could've gotten him the help he needed, if he needed it.
I don't know if he has it or not. I don't know if he has symptoms. It's been my biggest worry and regret for all of these years. Knowing I have a child out there….not knowing if he shares the gene that has ruined the lives of my other 2 sons…and possibly this baby I'm pregnant with…I need to know.
We don't know the lifespan of my boys. It's…if they live until they are 20, it will be miraculous. The limited data suggests they won't make it into their second decade. And all I want is for my sons to meet their brother at some point in their life.
And if my birth son has it too, that makes the timeline feel even more…rushed. I might not have the luxury of time on my side. I might not be able to just…wait until he's older. Have a relationship when he's older. Because there is a very real, a 50/50 chance, that that just might not even happen, getting older.
I don't know if he has this, and I don't know if his parents will opt to test him. Our last conversation suggested that they will, but I don't know. And if they do, I don't know that they will share that information with me unless I asked, which I don't want to do again.
Adoption sucks. Even in the absolute best case scenarios, it still sucks, and it's painful. It's painful in ways you could never imagine or dream of. This is just another way it hurts. Questions unanswered, not knowing, wondering if he would have been better off with me medically…it's…it's all just so hard.
I should be getting my amnio results any day now. I'm hoping I will today. I keep having nightmares about it, that he's tested positive for it as well. Not knowing is so hard.
But knowing is even harder if it's an answer you don't want to hear. I just wish that my kids were okay. It hurts me so much knowing that this is because of me, that I have this to them. And that I suffer from it as well.
Even still, knowing is better than not knowing. No matter what.

Mother Teresa
Photo by Túrelio
Till the end of my days Jesus is for me:
For brief biographical material on Mother Teresa see the following Web
Mother Teresa her life. A short biographical text divided under the following headings: Youth; The Call; Sister and teacher; The second call; Decision; A touching moment; The mission; Successor. (no longer available)
Anthony Messenger has a biographical article called Who
Was Mother Teresa? - excerpted from A Retreat With Mother Teresa
and Damien of Molokai: Caring for Those Who Suffer, by Joan Guntzelman
Quotations about Mother Teresa
"There is always the danger of romanticizing a person like Mother Teresa.
What is unique about her is that in a world so conscious of image, of
appearance, she was precisely what one saw. Her retreat from public gaze
was always to one of the far-flung houses of her religious community.
She would take her place with her sisters in their chapel, barefoot, to
spend hours in prayer. Wherever she was, in Calcutta, Rome, Albania, Haiti,
Dorchester, she could look at the crucifix and be reminded of the omnipresent
words of Jesus cut out and attached to the wall: "I thirst." " -- Cardinal
Law - Archdiocese of Boston in "I thirst" had a special meaning for Mother
Teresa has marked the history of our century: she defended life bravely;
she served all human beings, always promoting their dignity and respect;
she made the 'losers of life' feel the tenderness of God, loving Father
of all his creatures. She bore witness to the Gospel of charity, which
is nourished by the free giving of the self until death. This is how we
remember her, invoking for her the prize that awaits all the faithful
servants of the Kingdom of God. May her shining example of charity serve
as a consolation and stimulus for her spiritual family, for the Church
and for all of humanity." -- John Paul II the day after Mother Teresa's
"Until the moment of her death in Calcutta, India, on Friday, Mother
Teresa was engaged in a gentle but relentless crusade. Hers was a powerful
personality, bent on overcoming any obstacle that impeded her work. One
could only sympathize with the squirming Lebanese bureaucrat who failed
to dissuade her from visiting a dangerous section of Beirut several years
ago, or even with the Indian doctors who persuaded her to undergo just
one more surgical procedure late last year. While children were always
delighted to be around Mother Teresa (and she was equally content to mug
and play with them), many world leaders- including heads of state and
not a few Catholic bishops- quailed at her approach. They knew that she
would not flatter them and that she might ask embarrassing questions.
Her requests for their help with her charitable projects were invariably
polite and respectful, but they were demanding. Give until it hurts, she
would cheerfully suggest. " -- By Philip Lawler: Mother Teresa remembered
for charity
Quotations from Mother Teresa
"I choose
the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive (the Nobel)
in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of
the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved,
uncared-for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the
society and are shunned by everyone." -- Excerpt from the Nobel Peace
Prize acceptance speech Mother
Teresa Winner of the 1979 Nobel Prize in Peace
"Do we
really know our poor? Do we really know the poor in our own house, in
our own family? Maybe we are not hungry for a piece of bread. Maybe our
children, our husband, our wife, are not hungry, are not naked, are not
homeless, but are you sure that there is no one there who feels, unwanted,
unloved? Where are your old father and mother? Where are they?...Let us
look straight into our own families, for love begins at home. Do we really
understand the poverty of Christ, the poverty of our poor in our own home,
in our own communities? Never turn your back to the poor. For in turning
your back to the poor you are turning it to Jesus Christ" -- from the
1979 Franciscan Communications video Everyone, Everywhere - quoted in Mother
Teresa The Poor in Our Own Homes
"I see
God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel I am
nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?" -- 1974 interview.
- Mother Teresa Angel of Mercy
Jesus, help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul
with Thy spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly
that all my life may only be a radiance of Thine. Shine through me and
be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Thy presence
in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay
with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to
be a light to others. -- Prayer
of Mother Teresa - From the video Everyone, Everywhere
As God is in each one of us, when we want and try to live according to
His example of love, we love Him in the others and at the same time we
allow Him to love others through us. We are his hands, his feet, his smile,
his patience... When we love because of His Will, we make God present,
we make Him 'touchable' as you could say. We can make His love material.
Therefore we have such a high call. Therefor we can be so grateful, therefore
we have such a great responsibility." -- quoted in Mother Teresa.
"The other day I dreamed that I was at the gates of heaven. And St. Peter said, 'Go back to Earth. There are no slums up here.'" -- Quoted as telling Prince Michael of Greece in 1996. - CNN - Mother Teresa Angel of Mercy

Newell Street Art Therapy
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
Over the last several months I have become a connoisseur of construction fences. When you see enough of them (as I have) you begin to notice that each of them has its own personality: in this respect they are just like people. Occasionally I will find one that stands out from its peers, like this fence at 140 Newell Street.
Like you, I initially thought it was pretty unremarkable, if ugly. But after watching the tenants of 142 Newell exit their house and pause to glare at their new Fedders friend, I decided to go in for a closer look. I'm glad I did.
Looks like someone decided to engage in a little art therapy. I'm not too sure what those angry lines emanating from the chimney are. Maybe they are RPGs? Nonetheless, I found myself wondering if this exercise in wishful thinking was directed towards this construction site or the rusting black behemoth across the street.
I suppose only the artist knows for certain.

Grain bowls are easy to make, perfect for a light dinner and you'll want to prep extra to enjoy for lunch the next day. This one is with roasted veggies I love but feel free to customize it with your favorites.
What you need:
- 2 c cooked grain (I'm using farro)
- 2 carrots, peeled
- 1 pound of beets, peeled
- 1/2 a kohlrabi, peeled
- salad greens
- watermelon radish, peeled
- your favorite cheese
- oil
- salt & pepper
- favorite seasonings (I love our Vermont Maple Blend)
- Get creative and add whatever you'd like!
Cook your grain and cool on a plate. I used farro, it's very easy to cook. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add 1 cup of dry farro. Cook about 10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and spread out on a plate to cool.
Preheat oven to 400 F
Cut the carrots, beets, and kohlrabi into bite-sized pieces, coat with a light drizzle of oil and salt & pepper. Use a spice blend to add a little zest. I like to use different spices on each veggie, for the carrots I used used our Vermont Maple Blend. Bake for 20 minutes until golden. I recommend flipping the veggies halfway through the bake for even cooking.
Assemble your bowls! I make my lunch grain bowls the night before, so they are ready to go…even if I'm working from home. Start with a base of cooked farro, add your roasted veggies, greens, raw veggies, cheese, and anything else you'd like in your bowl. Remember we eat with our eyes, so make it really colorful! One other veggie you might want to add is roasted sprouted broccoli!
* If you add salad greens and are making this bowl for lunch the next day, please make a vinaigrette in a separate container and take it with you. There's nothing worse than a slimy salad!

Personal info
- Name: Thomas KENNY
- D.O.B: 4th Apr, 1882
- D.O.A: 4th Nov, 1915
- D.O.D: 29th Nov, 1948
- Award: Victoria Cross
- Occupation at time of action: Private, 13th Battalion The Durham Light Infantry, 68th Brigade, 23rd Division
- Book: The Complete History - Volume 2
Near La Houssoie, France 4 November 1915
4 November 1915
The First World War 1915
On 4 November 1915, Lieutenant P A Brown, 13th Battalion The Durham Light Infantry, was strengthening the British wire at La Houssoie, near Erquinghem, just south-west of Armentières when he was wounded. Private T Kenny succeeded in bringing him back to the British lines but Brown died shortly afterwards.
For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty on the night of 4th November, 1915, near La Houssoie. When on patrol in a thick fog with Lieutenant Brown, 13th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry, some Germans, who were lying out in a ditch in front of their parapet, opened fire and shot Lieutenant Brown through both thighs. Private Kenny, although heavily and repeatedly fired upon, crawled about for more than an hour with his wounded officer on his back, trying to find his way through the fog to our trenches. He refused more than once to go on alone, although told by Lieutenant Brown to do so. At last, when utterly exhausted, he came to a ditch which he recognised, placed Lieutenant Brown in it, and went to look for help. He found an officer and a few men of his battalion at a listening post, and after guiding them back, with their assistance Lieutenant Brown was brought in, although the Germans again opened heavy fire with rifles and machine-guns, and threw bombs at 30 yards distance. Private Kenny's pluck, endurance and devotion to duty were beyond praise.

These are the termites in Boca Raton that tend to cause the most damage most quickly.

Drywood termites need no moisture to survive. They eat their way through books, plastic containers, clothing, and upholstery that are plant-based, and, the framework of homes. They are not easy to spot because they live inside structural planks while carrying out their destructive work.
Mouse Control
Effective mouse control systems employ a number of techniques including the removal of attractants such as food and water. However, without a permanent solution, mouse infestation is bound to happen again and again. Mice can gain entry into a home through openings as small as ¼", meaning that they can slip into the spaces between the bricks of your home, known as weep holes. Of course, there are plenty of other access points that mice can use to gain entrance into your home.

Termites are prevalent in South Florida. Termite control is frequently needed to get rid of subterranean termites and dry wood termites. Here are a few facts about these wood-consuming insects: Drywood termites are about 3/8" long. They are light brown, long, narrow, winged, and oval-shaped. These ravenous creatures require no contact with moisture or soil to survive. They tunnel through wooden support beams, which can cause major damage to homes and other structures. Termites also eat plastics, wallpaper, and plant-based fabrics. Since they live in colonies of up to 2,500 termites. Subterranean termites are the reason countless homeowners have needed termite control. They are as small as 1/8" but can also grow to 1" in length. They are creamy brown and also long, narrow, winged, and oval-shaped. This species requires moisture and contact with soil to survive. They build tunnels between their nests and their food source. Their colonies have up to 2 million members! Each spring congregations of reproductive termites fly off in search of places to establish new colonies. Subterranean termites destroy sub-flooring, insulation, plastic plumbing pipes, building foundations, pool infiltration systems, swimming pool liners, and support beams.
The battle to keep termites away begins during the pre-construction phase of a structure. This is a legally mandated type of termite control. We have a customized method for combating subterranean termites. It begins when we apply a liquid treatment before the slab is laid. Afterward there are follow-up treatments at different intervals of construction.
Preventative measures for termite control in Boca Raton continue to be important after construction is complete. Our effective strategy for keeping termites away involves these two goals:

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday said that it will pronounce its interim order next week on a batch of pleas seeking an independent probe into the Pegasus snooping matter.
A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana said the order, which was to be pronounced earlier, will now be delivered next week.
The top court on September 13 had reserved its order, saying it only wanted to know whether or not the Centre used the Pegasus spyware through illegal methods to allegedly snoop on citizens.
The Centre had stoutly refused to file an affidavit citing national security on pleas seeking an independent probe into the snooping row.
The pleas seeking an independent probe are related to reports of alleged snooping by government agencies on eminent citizens, politicians and scribes by using Israeli firm NSO's spyware Pegasus.
An international media consortium has reported that over 300 verified Indian mobile phone numbers were on the list of potential targets for surveillance using Pegasus spyware.

What is Helicobacter pylori
The bacterium Helicobacter pylori adapted to life in the acidic environment of the stomach that is linked to its ability in large quantities to excrete ammonia. Thanks to this substance the bacterium affects the mucous membranes and is a common cause of diseases of the stomach and 12 duodenal ulcer. Infection infection occurs through close contact with a sick person or during medical procedures using improperly processed instrumentation. To completely get rid of Helicobacter pylori using antibiotics and a few special drugs that regulate the acidity of gastric juice.
It is scientifically proven that prolonged carriage of Helicobacter pylori significantly increases the probability of development of cancer pathology.
What is Helik-test
Conducting a breath test for the presence of Helicobacter pylori is the most gentle method of research of the gastrointestinal tract. It can be used quickly and accurately diagnose the presence of bacteria in the body. Helicobacter test is that in the oral cavity of the examinee placed the tube with the indicator, which is connected with a special digital camera. Within 7 minutes, the patient breathes into a tube, then takes inside the small amount of urea with markers and continues to breathe for another 7 minutes. At the end of the test, you can determine how much carbon dioxide separated from the urea. In the absence of infection in the human body it is broken down completely. In some cases, the test result may be false positive. For further examination, the patient is encouraged to donate blood for the presence of antibodies to the infection. To do a breath test at any diagnostic center, the price in Moscow is 800 – 1000 rubles.
Practice shows that Helik-test allows to determine an accurate picture of not only bacteria, but also the degree of their activity, which is an important factor when choosing a method of treatment.
How to prepare for the test
Conducting this survey technique requires no special training. As a rule, Helik-test is in the morning and obligatory on an empty stomach. 3 days before the procedure should exclude alcoholic beverages. 3 hours before the test, do not use chewing gum and Smoking. During the inspection, therapy survey should be carried out not earlier than 2 weeks after the administration of antibacterial and antisecretory drugs.

Green Bay Packers (11-6 SU, 10-7 ATS) vs. Atlanta Falcons (13-3 SU,
11-5 ATS), NFC Divisional Playoffs, 8:00 p.m. EST, Saturday, January
15, 2011, Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Ga., TV: FOX
by Badger of Predictem.com
Betting Odds: GB +2/ATL -2
Over/Under Total: 45.5
The second game of the NFLs Rematch Saturday in the Divisional
Playoffs features the NFCs version of another retry, when the Green
Bay Packers return to the Georgia Dome for a second time this season
for another match against the Atlanta Falcons in a primetime showdown on Fox.
The Pack earned a second chance at Atlanta this weekend after their, 21-16, victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in the wildcard game in
Philly last Sunday. The Packers found a running game with rookie
James Starks (23 carries, 123 yards) against the Eagles, and Aaron
Rodgers was deadly with play-action resulting in three touchdowns in
just 180 yards in the wildcard win on the road.
Now its back on the road to Atlanta where the Falcons will be rested
and waiting, with time to dissect the game film from their, 20-17,
victory over the Packers in the Georgia Dome back in late November to
try and scheme for another win. The Falcons have essentially had two
weeks off counting their 31-10 win over hapless Carolina in the
finale, so the Georgia Dome should be loud with anticipation for
their first NFC Divisional playoff game in years.
The opening betting line out of Las Vegas listed the Falcons as just
2-point favorites at home in the G-Dome, so even the oddsmakers are
anticipating a close game. Most of the early money is coming in on
the Packers, causing some offshore sportsbooks to drop the point
spread down to Falcons minus 1-point, but theres still plenty of
books still listing the number at 2-points so not everyone has their
short-memory sights set on Green Bay.
The over/under total opened at 45.5 and has dropped to 45 at a few sportsbooks, but for the most part the original number is holding allowing you to get the hook if you want it.
Its surprising to say this, but the role of Starks in the Packers
running game has become a big key to this game offensively. Back in
week 12 the Packers ran for 77 yards in the game, but 51 of those
yards came as Rodgers was scrambling for his life, so the Packers run
game was completely non-existent in the earlier loss.
Rodgers still went on to throw for 344 yards, but suffered the first
of his two concussions of the season at the end of the game, so the
Packers must find a way to keep the Falcons from slapping him around
as much as the did in the first game.
Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan was deadly in the first game, going 24-
of-28 in his passing, but the Falcon offense as a whole struggled to
just 293 yards of total offense. What proved to be the difference was
the run game of Michael Turner, gaining 110 yards on the ground with
a score to help grind the ball into field goal range for Matt
Bryants 47-yarder won it with nine seconds left in the game.
The Falcons will need Turner to be the same bowling-pin runner his
was in the first meeting, especially now since the Packers got
defensive end Cullen Jenkins back last week versus the Eagles to
fortify the d-line, to try and duplicate the same results as early
and give the Falcons a shot at the NFC title game.
Trying to successfully handicap this game based on the betting trends
will be a tough proposition this week, because a lot of them
contradict each other.
Did you know… that you can now place parlay wagers, lose some of your picks and still get paid out? These nifty bets are called "progressive parlays" and can be found at Sportbet Sportsbook!
For instance, the Packers are getting the early steam at the window
and could be a great pick since the underdog is 5-1 ATS in the head-
to-head series between these two teams, and the road team is also an
attractive 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. But the Packers are just
1-5 ATS in those same six meetings, including a non-cover as
(ironically) 2.5-point underdogs this season, so the one non-cover in
those 5-1 ATS numbers is on the Packers.
The Falcons are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and a solid
10-4 ATS as a home favorite in the Georgia Dome where Ryan is
something like 18-2 SU in his career. But the pressure is different
in the playoffs and the Falcons dont do as well against teams that
have a winning record on the road (9-20-1 ATS in L30 home games vs.
winning record).
The over/under betting trends contradict too, with the under going 8-1 in Packer road games this year and 5-1 on fieldturf surfaces,
while its the over thats a perfect 6-0 in the Falcons last six
Saturday games and 7-2-2 in the Falcons last 11 games overall.
Badgers Pick to Cover the Point Spread: Its tough to beat a team twice in the same building
in the same season. Plus, I think the Packers defense is playing
better football right now, which is huge in the playoffs. Im taking
the Packers plus the points.

I will NOT lean in.
I will NOT #BanBossy
What I will do, is continue on in my routine of being a full-time working mother of two. I will continue to praise my children, to love them, to teach them right from wrong and I don't need some high powered executive offering up her "advice" on how to do it all!
Lean In is fabulous for women who don't have children.
Lean In is amazing for women who have the financial means to be assured their children are well taken care of while they are busy leaning in. However, those women have to be ok with other people raising their children while they are working.
How does Lean In help the working mom that needs to pay the bills, make dinner, give the kids a bath, get them bed and start it all over the next day? All of this with little sleep and feelings of guilt because they "hurried up" their children to get out the door so they could get to work somewhat on time in order to make the money!
It's fabulous to tell women to lean in when you're powerful enough in your company that you can work from home as needed so you're at least physically present. It's wonderful to tell women they have the power and can be all they can be but my problem with leaning in is that a) I don't want to b) who would take care of my children and c) will it hurt my children in the long run if mommy wasn't around for dinners, games, stories, hugs, playtime and more?
Above all else, I am a mother. I made a conscience decision to have my children. The moments they were born my entire universe shifted to make them the center. Unless you are a mother you can not comment on children being the center of ones universe. If you are a mother and you don't get it, then I'm sorry for you
Yes….my point here is hoo-rah for Sheryl Sandberg! She has a big job, big bank account and wants to empower women. Does she want me to ban bossy when my daughter is being bossy? How about when my son is being bossy? Is it ok then because nobody seems to worry about hurting his ego! Does she want to watch my kids when they are sick with a virus for a week so I can lean in? She better get prepared to stay for two weeks though because once that first kid gets over the virus the second one usually gets it. If she's here I can clear my conscience of my kids that are sick, for the 5th time in a row in one season, and go off to work to lean in. I can ignore the fact that my babies only want their mommy when they are sick. Nope, sorry, that just isn't me. That just isn't any of the mothers I know that are JUST TRYING TO GET BY without screwing up our kids!!
It's ok though, I'm NOT leaning in like Sheryl said!
It's easy to say "lean in" when you have the monetary support to work things out and the ability to override mom guilt in order to get a job done. In my world the most important job that I choose is my children.
Am I letting my gender down because I don't choose to aspire to be more than a 9-5 working mom that only works for additional income. Yes, there are people that work just to make money. There are people that work, only to pay the bills. Most of those people don't even make that much money!
If I had a choice I would lean in to my family.
I would not work.
I would make cookies from Pinterest so my kids could bring them for every holiday and do laundry to alleviate the mountains I now have in my house. I would make tutus, sew dresses and embroider superheroes onto all my son's shirts. That isn't my reality though.
My reality is I have to work to help support my family.
Which, I think, is why I can't stand Sheryl Sandberg even more. How about coming out with a campaign to support the working mom?? I see so many support stay at home moms initiatives. Where is the campaign that says "I know you're tired but you know not to complain about it because nobody wants to hear about it"? Where is the campaign that supports me because I work full time outside of the house AND run a house AND raise my children?!
No thanks Sheryl I'm too involved with raising my children and working to lean in!!!
I will NOT ban bossy!
The whole campaign itself seems so BOSSY!!
Ugh I can't stand all this stuff. Banning the word bossy is NOT going to help remind my daughter that she can be a future leader, if I continue encouraging and praising her, she will know. It will be rooted into her soul how wonderful she is because I taught her about her amazingness.
Now back to all the hoopla about banning bossy here is what I am behind instead of #BanBossy
Shot@Life-Do you know that every 20 seconds a child in a developing country dies of a vaccines preventable death and people are more interested in banning A WORD!! I don't care if the word can have a different meaning or what- get over it!
No Kid Hungry-How about we make sure children in America have food on the table. Let's make sure their bellies are full before we worry if a word like Bossy will damage their future
Save the Children- Do you know what will happen to your child if disaster strikes? After Hurricane Katrina it was 6 months before the final child was reunited with their parents. Save the Children works to literally save our children! Do you think if we ban bossy it will save children after a tornado or flood ran through their home town?
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation- childhood cancer is the leading cause of death for children under the age of 15 in the US. Will banning bossy help us find a cure for these children that NEED one?
March of Dimes-March of Dimes is an organization dedicated to improving the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. Let's fund research and advance screenings to deliver healthier babies. I bet those moms won't mind the word bossy
There are people in the world with NO access to clean water, children dying of diarrhea and families that can't afford to out meals on the table. Can we PLEASE talk about HOW we will help them instead of banning a word
