salts which, realistica.'ly, .-nay be attributed to tie shunting effect. Tl^: statistical study mentioned above, substantiates the distinguishable nature of the data groups resulting in curves 2 and 5.
Curve 6 dcpicts the results of a test run in which the field permeability has been eliminated by removal from the test apparatus of the upper mass member and the two detector conical pole faces- The lower mass member has also beta adjusted downward so as to rest on the horizontal structural element 10. At the same time the spatial relationship between the generator assembly and the two deferentially connected probes was not altered. As may be observed from the curve 6, there occurred no change in thermal vibration of the InAs crystal lattice. The piot scatter observable during the 45 minutes wheel ipiu period is attributable to increased temperature gradients which developed between the probes and the respective thermocouples in the absence ox the various field circuit member thermal masses-
Further experimental results are available to substantiate the heretofore stated vunclusions concerning the operating characteristics or the subject apparatus. In this respect reference is made to the copending application of the present inventor entitled Method and Apparatus For Generating a Secondary Gravitational Force Field, filed Nov. 4, 1963 and bearing Ser. No. 773,051, the subject of which concerns an apparatus fur establishing a time variaat kinematic force rield.
It will be apparent irom the foregoing descriplion that there has been provided an apparatus for generating and transforming kinemassic forces due to a dynamic interaction field arising through gravitational coupling of relatively moving bouies. Although in its original application the kmemassic force has fcren applid to the reduction oJ thermal vibrations in the lait'ce srructure of a crystal, it should be readily apparent that other core significant uses of these forces are contemplated. In this respect the principles of the present invention may well be applied to any system in which bodiet are nonrespoasivc or only partially responsive to conventional forces such 40 as electromagnetic force fields. Thus, the present invention should have particular applicability to the stabilization of plasma particles, pursuant to controlled thermal nuclear fusion, or in the governing of temperatures and thermal energies within matter.
While in iccordancc with the provisions of the statutes, there has been iliust.aled and described the best forms of the invention known, it wiil be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes m^.y b< made in the apparatus described without depaning from the spirit of the inven- 50 tion as >et forth in the appended claims and that in some cases, certain features of the inveniion may be used to advantage without a corresponding use of other features.
Having now described the invention, what is clr.imed as new and for which it is desired to secure Letters Patent 33 is:
1. An energy generating and transforming apparatus comprising a first member, said first member further comprised of spin nuclei material and mounted so as to be freely rotatable about an axis located within said first member, at least one stationary member, said stationary member comprised of spin nuclei material and positioned immediately adjacent said first member, and means for effecting the rotation of said first member whereby it is effective in impressing a non-clccuomagnetic force onto said stationary member.
2. A method for generating a non-electromagnetic forcc field and for convening such force field into useful

-Bitcoin may be warm, yet is it the right investment for you?
If you put $1,000 into Bitcoin in 2013, you would certainly have more than $23,000 now. Techies assert it's the future. Lovers are getting. Should you?
Like many financial investment choices, it relies on who you are and exactly what you want. Though it 's called "cryptocurrency," Bitcoin is pure speculation, not money.
It appears like elegant, techie cash. Some retailers accept it as settlement. Since Bitcoin is untraceable, it's often made use of on the Dark Internet, where unpleasant types sell unpleasant points.
Yet cash? It ain't! Real cash is traded for goods and services anywhere. Its worth is reasonably steady in the short-term. It's approved by those that know its value largely stands up till it can be reused. You do not mind holding and also investing it since you feel that way, also. As well as it's simple to access. You get it readily if you have something beneficial to sell, such as your labor. Loan is liquid, plentiful, secure as well as across the country approved.
-Fundamentals For Getting And Purchasing Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized cryptocurrency settlement system designed by Satoshi Nakamoto. The software-based currency was released to the public in 2009. Ever since, updates as well as improvements have actually been made by a network of developers, partly funded by the Bitcoin Foundation.
It was not till 2013 that Bitcoin came to be a hot topic of passion. The online money got over 300% from 2011 to 2012 as well as because August of in 2015, Bitcoin has enhanced in worth around 400%. While its recent performance has been lackluster, (down around 34% considering that January 1st), equity capital firms and also financiers worldwide continue to bet on the cryptocurrency.
For Americans, Coinbase has an alternative to connect your savings account to your Coinbase pocketbook. This makes future payment transfers much easier. The business likewise supplies automatic bitcoin acquiring at routine intervals. As an example, say you want to buy $50 in bitcoins every 1st or 2nd of the month, right after you get your paycheck. You can setup an auto-buy for that amount on Coinbase. Consider a couple of cautions before you start utilizing this service. If you provide an automatic buy order, you will not have control over the price at which the BTC is bought. Following thing to note is that Coinbase is not a bitcoin exchange, you are buying/selling your coins directly from the firm, which in turn needs to source them from various other buyers. This develops issues or hold-ups when performing orders throughout quick market actions.

For investors that desire a standard bitcoin exchange, BitStamp may be a better option. With BitStamp, you are patronizing various other users and also not the firm, which only functions as a middleman. Liquidity is higher and also you could usually find another individual to take the opposite side of your profession. The fees begin at 0.5% as well as go all the way to 0.2% if you have actually traded over $150,000 in the previous 30 days.
-The reality about Bitcoin
Bitcoin isn't really any of that. There are about 16.5 million Bitcoins worth $42 billion. The U.S.A.'s yearly economic output surpasses $19 trillion. The globe's tops $75 trillion.
Scarcity, hope, buzz and also fear drive enormous rate swings in Bitcoin, making it unpredictable. Rates products in Bitcoin isn't far from rates in volatile leveraged commodities such as pork stubborn belly or lumber futures (which are wildfire, smoking cigarettes warm right now).
A genuine money? You would not hold a lot. Also boring, like holding money. Some Bitcoiners favor an even more money-oriented spinoff, called "Bitcoin Cash," which will go real-time Aug. 1. Will it be money? Defeats me. Just time will tell.
Bitcoin Cash money shows up just since Bitcoin– the one every person is so warm over– is just a speculative commodity. Like miners dig rubies, Bitcoin miners "mine" bits from formulas. Bitcoin gyrates like levered assets on steroids because its "hype-o-meter " rivets off the graphes. Pork stubborn bellies aren't trendy. Bitcoin is. In 2014 alone, you 'd virtually quadruple your cash buying it.
-The First Guarantee of Bitcoin
Bitcoin has lots of buildings that make it one of the most optimal types of money imaginable.
Generally, it is a lot more scarce, sturdy, mobile, storable, divisible, and also fungible compared to fiat (government-issued) money, or rare-earth elements like gold. It is also less complicated to confirm its credibility and also tougher to imitation than other forms of loan.
The bitcoin currency is paired with a payment system that is much faster, less costly, and also more trustworthy than any kind of typical settlement system. You might send out any kind of amount of money, anywhere in the world, almost totally free.
Bitcoin's biggest weak point is that it is not as commonly used as other types of money. For that reason, there is the risk that it may never ever achieve mainstream fostering. Yet, at the exact same time, there is the distinct capacity that it may. This creates a high risk, high benefit circumstance and also is the reason that early adopters have made a killing.
At this phase, there are still fortunes to be made as well as arguably it is the most effective time to invest because there is still a significant benefit while the threat is a lot smaller compared to it was 5 years earlier. Cryptocurrencies are clearly here to remain. And also this is exactly why primary stream bush funds as well as financiers are starting to pile on.

Hiding and Seeking
Why do we hide from one another? Some observers have noted that in a maternity ward the babies are remarkably quiet and attribute it to conditioning in the wild — making noise is dangerous when one is helpless. When parental protection is near the baby will cry, but when alone the baby remains silent.
Psychiatrist R.D. Laing wrote, "Being visible is therefore a basic biological risk; being invisible is a basic biological defense." Silence and hiding may be intrinsic to who we are.
But that which is hidden is sought. God hides and it is our task to seek. After all, we talk about Sinai as "revelation" and one only reveals that which was previously hidden. Equally, we hide and God seeks: remember the title of Heschel's book, "God in Search of Man." There is an intricate and often agonizing dance between people, and between people and God, in which we retreat into our caves in the hope that others will pursue. As we begin a new year and read of creation we are reminded of the secret places God left in the world, into which we can silently slip, hiding, hoping against hope to be found. Creation is through connection and out of the silence emerges love.

OMG | Vic Mensa x Pusha T
Vic Mensa suddenly dropped a new EP titled The Manuscript last week. A quick 4-track project to give you just a small taste of his artistry. I was first introduced to the Roc Nation signee with the release of his EP released last year and was pleasantly surprised cuz I had not really heard much about him. I know there's a lot of industry insiders who are well aware of Mensa, but you don't really hear much about him in the mainstream market. This particular track was a standout to me, partly because of the Pusha T feature. I like Mensa's rap style and how he pushes some topics that are outside of the typical realm of money, cars and hoes. Pusha T does what he does and will have you asking what's becoming the age-old question of, where is his album?! This song is a nice introduction to Mensa if you're unfamiliar. I would definitely encourage going back to There's Alot Going On to get more into what Mensa has to offer.

Researchers at Cornell University designed a flexible optic waveguide that serves as a force and strain sensor in a soft robotic hand. The hand can quickly and accurately detect textures, alter its force on delicate objects, and continuously track its path of motion. One of the many demonstrations of the robot's performance was to pick the ripest tomato from a bunch of 3.
The researchers, who published their work in the journal Science Robotics, said that robots can use haptics – or more simply a sense of touch – to change how they move based on external stimuli and their surroundings. That versatility could be especially useful in industrial robots to perform pick-and-place operations in non-uniform or constantly changing environments. It could also help create more delicate prostheses and neuroprostheses, which communicate with the brain serving as the central control unit. (Read more at the end of this report.)
The researchers at Cornell integrated their haptic sensors into the soft robot, which uses pneumatic actuation to mimic the fluid motions of a human hand. The sensors were integrated into the top and bottom of each finger to sense bending, and into the fingertips to sense forces.
How the sensors work:
Cornell's optoelectronic sensors consist of an LED on the end of a stretchable fiber optic wire. These fibers contain a core and outer sheath, but are 3D printed for easier manufacturing. The fibers act as waveguides, in that their structure only allows a certain wavelength of light to propagate through them. The waveguides have a purposefully lossy design, so that when they stretch, their structure changes to allow more light to escape through the outer sheath and only a certain wavelength to propagate.
The continuously changing wavelength during bending is read by a photodetector at the end of the fiber, and compared to a baseline signal to calculate the degree of movement. A similar effect occurs at the finger tips, where the sensors change structure as more pressure is put on an object. If the sensors detect a lower force on the object as their grip increases, they will hold back on squeezing to avoid squishing the object.
The hand could use the sensors to pick out different textures on the microscopic level. (Humans can feel texture at the nanoscopic level.) See the video below to see a demonstration of the Cornell University robotic hand.
More Advances in Prosthetics
Advances in neuroscience are leading to prostheses that respond to voluntary motion commands from the amputee's brain. Communication from the brain to the prosthesis is enabled through wiring to the nervous system in the upper arm. Sending voluntary commands requires training by the amputee. Here, Les Baugh controls two prosthetic arms using the voluntary-control centers of his brain. In 2015, he was part of the DARPA experiment to become the first bilateral amputee to train for control of two prosthetic arms. Research continues to send haptic feedback through the nervous system so it can be detected by the brain, which will then alter its commands to meet the needs of the physical environment.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Energy stocks traded lower Tuesday, as share prices succumbed to broader selling in reaction to the Federal Reserve's decision to hold the line on U.S. interest rates.
Integrated oil stocks appeared to trade in some measure off crude futures, which initially rallied above $28 a barrel before turning flat. See Futures Movers.
The CBOE Oil Index OIX ended the day down 3.27 to 279.03, while the Oil Service Index OSX gave up 0.95 to a reading of 80.29. The Amex Natural Gas Index XNG fell 3.42 to 130.02.
Within the integrateds, ChevronTexaco CVX was a rare advancer, rising 25 cents to $75.30, while BP BP advanced 1 cent to $46.65.
But ExxonMobil XOM 89 cents to $34.84 in afternoon dealings. Royal Dutch Shell RD drooped 49 cents to $44.42.
As for Tuesday's story stocks, Marathon Oil MRO failed to get a long-lasting lift from a gas discovery in 5,500 feet of water off the Nova Scotia coast. The company will continue to drill in the area to determine the commercial feasibility of the discovery.
Marathon's shares closed down 22 cents to $24.15.
In addition, Western Gas Resources WGR reported second-quarter earnings ahead of Wall Street's consensus forecast, as the company boosted its natural-gas equity production by 25 percent compared to last year.
This wasn't sufficient to overcome a year-over-year profit downturn, however, as the company reported quarterly earnings of 34 cents a share on revenue of $614.9 million, compared to the prior's 77 cents earned on revenue of $887 million. According to a survey by Thomson Financial/First Call, Wall Street had been looking for Western Gas to earn 30 cents a share in the latest quarter.
Shares of Western Gas fell 9 cents to $31.61.
In the oil-services segment, Baker Hughes BHI fell 54 cents to $25.86 after reaching a deal to sell Eimco, its process equipment division, to Canada's Groupe Laperriere & Verrault.
Finally, El Paso Corp. EP lost 60 cents to $15.50 after the company's El Paso Energy Management unit filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to sell some $684 million in stock via an initial public offering. See story.
The IPO will be pegged to El Paso Energy Partners EPN whose units rose 32 cents to $34.40.

Eloy Jimenez did a spot-on Roy Hobbs impression.
Unlike Roy Hobbs, Eloy Jimenez was not stabbed by a mysterious woman in a hotel room after his tryout with the Cubs. But Jimenez does have something in common with the fictional lead from The Natural: they've both obliterated stadium floodlights with home runs.
Jimenez, a 20-year-old outfielder, is the top prospect in the Cubs' system and made the Carolina League All-Star Team as a representative of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. In Monday's home run derby, he did this, which is still pretty cool even though he wasn't bleeding through his jersey.
Eloy Jimenez just went Roy Hobbs on the stadium lights. pic.twitter.com/wD2521SedW— JJ Cooper (@jjcoop36) June 20, 2017
It's not quite as dramatic when you don't have to round the bases (and when Glenn Close isn't watching from the stands).

A team of Scottish-based scientists are developing a new system to produce hydrogen (H2) from solar energy.
The high cost and low efficiency of producing H2 from sunlight is being tackled by scientists at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh.
Dr Jin Xuan (below), Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and the Associate Director of Research Centre for Carbon Solutions at Heriot-Watt University, and colleagues from Yale, the City University of Hong Kong and the East China University of Science and Technology are developing a new system to produce H2 from solar energy using a technique known as photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. The technique uses solar energy to split the H2 and oxygen (O2) in water and collect the H2 as a renewable energy source.
A press release explained, "Until now, a minimum supply of 1.23 electron volts (eV) was required to split the water, and only small part of sunlight, the UV range, could be used, meaning the rest of the spectrum's energy was wasted."
Xuan's team has lowered the energy requirements of PEC water splitting to 0.35 eV, by developing a pH-differential design. By changing the pH of each electrode individually, the scientists change the whole thermodynamics of the process, meaning a wider spectrum of sunlight and much cheaper materials can be used.
The innovative microsystem generates unique microfluidic patterns to accommodate the pH differential, and acid and alkaline electrolytes can coexist in a single cell.
The new system will reduce the cost of PEC water splitting by around two thirds and increase the solar to fuel efficiency by up to 20%.
Xuan said: "This project offers the chance to make PEC water splitting a viable route for H2 production."
"The main barrier to solar H2 production in the UK, and globally, is its high cost - it costs twice as much to produce as energy from wind and biomass."
"Our system will use cheap, widely available materials that mean the technology can be easily scaled up to meet the growing demand for H2 fuel."
"We have already proved that this system has potential. We've applied a similar design strategy in a number of energy devices, such as fuel cells and batteries."
Xuan's project was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, and is conducted in partnership with Yale's Energy Sciences Institute, the City University of Hong Kong and East China University of Science and Technology.

This Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who have given their lives for their country, on what is actually the 150th anniversary of the holiday. But in the midst of the grills, cookouts, and general festivities, it's important for all of us to remember that the battle is not over for those who return home. Many of them have to fight on a whole new front and process the trauma they have experienced.
I was reminded of this myself when I was in Chicago. Like many in the area, I decided to spend part of my Memorial Day weekend out on the lake front, and I happened to run into an event by Chicago Veterans. Vets and volunteers were walking to raise awareness about a pressing social problem: veteran suicide. According to the group, every day 20 veterans take their own lives. I was struck not only by the numbers, but by the fact that most people seem to have no idea that this is happening.
In order to help raise awareness, the Film Girl Film Festival is partnering with a local chapter of Dryhootch, an organization which provides support to struggling veterans. Dryhootch was founded in 2008 by Vietnam veteran Bob Curry, and aims to provide a safe space in a coffee house where veterans and their families can gather in a drug and alcohol free environment. Dryhootch regularly hosts events, and provides mentoring and needed support services to ease the transition to civilian life.
To do its part in support of this much-needed work, the Film Girl Film Festival will have its first women-only coworking event at the Dryhootch location at 1030 E. Brady Street. The coworking event aims to bring a group of women together to work, keep each other on track, and talk about their projects. No time and date has been set at this point, but further details will be provided.
More information about the Wisconsin chapter of Dryhootch can be found at dryhootchwi.org.

Fruit Garden in Spring
Early Spring
Uncloched strawberries should have all dead leaves removed
Pears cherries and plums will blossom in around April
Blackcurrants begin to show leaves and flower
Strawberries will come into life and should be weeded if not already done, cloched strawberries will want ventilating on sunny days.
Raspberries should be tied in and both these and blackcurrants should be mulched.
If all the soft fruit area is free from weed, it may be a good idea to lay down straw as a thick covering of mulch.... the soil will stay a little more moist on the hot summer days and the straw will be well on its way to rotting come the autumn, It also makes picking in the area more pleasant ;)
Peaches should have set and thinning can start
Mid Spring
Strawberries will be flowering and setting - flowers with blackened centres have been touched by frost (as will those of apples).
Gooseberries and blackcurrants will have finish setting this month - if the weather has been cool and windy, blackcurrants will have "run-off" as bees will not be have visited them in such weather. So think of this when positioning them and if possible try to give them a more sheltered position.
If weather is dry occurs make sure that raspberries are watered otherwise you may lose new canes.
Peaches will start to get stones and should be thinned when they are about half in round, spacing them to eventually be about 1 foot apart - spread the thinning over several weeks

How often do you visit an exhibition and see the exhibitor's employees just sitting down or chatting amongst themselves? Too often… am I right or am I right?
So you've paid a couple of grand for the stand… another couple for the space… employee salaries, food & accommodation will cost another couple… all that marketing collateral you thought you'd need… not much change out of £10-20k, if any!
If you are going to do this properly then you need someone like me to de-ice your exhibition stand, bring it some good old fashioned northern charm to warm things up… that or a couple of dollies!
But then as pretty as they are, they will attract the young guns but not the serious business decision maker. He's happily married with a couple of kids & grandkids on the way… he's there to talk business. And the increasing number of female decision makers will not like your attitude, employing pretty young things? They'll think you're lightweight!
You need an old, well worn pair of shoe leather to make the most of the opportunities that come your way. People like me who can establish interest, do they have the budget & who should you really be speaking to? You can't scan that with a £100 card scanner… you need something more… or at least, as intelligent!
Next time you're thinking about who could man your Expo stand think Jonathan L Davey, ICE BRAKER a guy who says hello to strangers so you can go relax & network with your clients.
Thank you.

The Jump
At some point in your life you are faced with decisions, obstacles, and opportunities. When it is your time to choose or "make that jump" you may end up on your feet and become a total success or you might fall flat on your face. For those of you that took the jump and failed I am right there with you. Just because you fall doesn't mean that you didn't take steps in the right direction. It is important that you do not look at it as a failure, but as a learning experience. Maybe you needed to fall, you needed to struggle before you were able to be successful. If you were a success from the start maybe you would have lost it just as fast. For those that tend to have more falls then ups it is because your still learning and growing. I can guarantee you that when it becomes your time you will be able to handle any obstacle that comes your way. I have always been a true believer in the under dog and I still would bet all my money on them because they know how to face problems head on and will never let anything discourage them. I would love to tell you thatAshley's Floral, LLC was a hit success from day 1, but I would be lying. We were faced with a obstacles already that took us out of our comfort zone. Sometimes we took the jump and everything worked but just as much we landed on our faces. In those moments of failure we learned so much and today our business is so much better because we made those mistakes. We are very proud of what we accomplished thus far and look forward to jumps whether we land on our feet or fall flat on our face. If there is one thing Ashley's Floral, LLC team wants you to take out of this blog is stand behind your "jump" if it does not work out brush your knees off and try again. It WILL be a success if you truly believe in it!

After some bad news I went about my day as usual, surprisingly optimistic about the future. I have a relatively stable life and I'm living it to the fullest. Learning as much as I can in my current positions at work, exploring San Francisco and the Bay Area, spending time with my boyfriend, and finally blogging a whole lot.
I like to think things find me rather than me finding them. If it's a goofy duck basket at a thrift store (I collect them), it was meant for me to take it home (that might be my hoarding mentality, but you get the picture). So after a long day and a crowded Muni ride, I walked up my street and found three curbside chairs right at my doorstep! Or in this case, the bottom of my stoop.
I didn't think twice. Obviously the universe put them there for me, so I had my pick of identical metal and vinyl chairs and a rocking chair. My room is tiny, so I went with one of the twins, and it fit perfectly between my bookshelf and the closet door:
I must say, I love the weird green vinyl and the look of this little guy. I named him George and he was seriously a welcome surprise! In lieu of a chair I can't afford after all, I have George, and only wonder now if I should reupholster him in teal or keep the weirdness? I am an eccentric individual myself, but a reupholstery DIY could be fun!
The next morning his twin was still left outside. I wanted to take him but know I can't fit him into my bedroom:
So if anyone is in the Inner Richmond in San Francisco looking for a free chair, George's dapper twin might still be on the sidewalk waiting for a good DIY. Suffice it to say, I'm very happy with my new find. Or he's happy with me.


text: Antisemitism in Arab societies and is the most potent and menacing form of hostility to Jews that exists anywhere in the contemporary world. It has become thoroughly embedded in recent decades in the body politic of Islam. The reams of hate literature against the Jews constantly appearing in mainstream Arab newspapers and magazines, radio stations and TV channels. and the anti-Semitic propaganda pervading Middle Eastern media has reached staggering proportions. Anti-Semitic discourse is prevalent in the speeches of important government officials, rampant in religious sermons, in radio broadcasts, on Islamic websites, and has a massive presence in caricatures across the Arab world. The world shouted "Never Again" after the horrors of Nazi's dead camps, but is now strangely silent as the same lies the Nazis used to fuel the Holocaust are being recycle for new generation. ANTISuch visual depictions invariably deform and dehumanize Jews, who are continually presented as dirty, hook-nosed, money-grubbing, vindictive, scheming, and cruel. The extremely hostile visual and verbal stereotyping so common in Arabic newspapers, magazines, and books today has undoubtedly helped to poison public opinion throughout the Middle East in a dangerous and alarming way.

Lung Disease & Nutrition
Lung disease causes difficulty breathing. Now, I am a rather calm person and not much makes me panic; however, not being able to breathe will make me panic. A huge wave that holds you under water longer than anticipated is a scary feeling or being upside down in a kayak trying to let yourself out and it does not come lose right away makes me afraid. People with lung disease reach a point where they will feel like they are gasping for breathe for the rest of their life. Now most lung disease has traditionally been caused by smoking. Smoking damages the lung walls losing elasticity. This makes it difficult to push air out of the lungs and allows carbon dioxide to build up in the body. You may know this disease as emphysema or COPD - obstructive lung disease. This is one of many reasons you should not smoke.
But, this is not the only type of lung disease. As you probably noticed, people are getting fatter all over the world. Excess body fat causes all sorts of medical problems, but did you know it can cause lung disease?! Yes, different than obstruction caused by smoking, being overweight can cause RESTRICTED lung disease. If someone is overweight, they are less likely to exercise and remain in good physical condition. Breathing requires muscle strength and the more fat a body carries the more difficult it is to breathe. Also, those with excess fat have less muscle mass and anywhere from 50 to 70 years old will find themselves short of breathe. To take a deep breathe, you need to expand your lungs to allow them to fill. A heavy, large person loses the ability to fully expand their lungs and therefore they develop a restricted lung disease simply due to their physical conditioning. The good news is that unlike obstructed disease which does not have a cure, restricted lung disease can be cured simply by losing weight and increasing physical strength.
Don't weight until you are panicking because you cannot catch your breathe. Get your body fit and make good food choices today. Let a large ocean wave be the only thing to take your breathe away!

Lung diseases are conditions in which some function of the lung is adversely affected. In some cases, the problem is in the gas exchange process at the membrane between the alveoli and blood – impeding efficient uptake of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide. There is an increasing interest in the relationship between nutrition and lung health. In particular, a diet rich in fresh fruit and fish has been associated with a salutary effect on lung health.

Evolving Ethos of Legal Practice
Lawyer's Christmas Message
A Lawyers Christmas Message
by Harrison Sheppard
LAWS GIVE people rules to live by. But why have rules? Why shouldn't the stronger person always win?
Most people think it is neither just nor fair for someone to take what he wants just because he is stronger. And that is why we have a legal profession: to preserve justice and fairness — in the spirit of promoting peace on Earth, good will toward men.
Justice and fairness are spiritual values with which all human beings are born, no matter how primitive their society. Different societies may have different notions of what "fairness" or "justice" requires under a particular set of facts, but every society has some idea of fairness and justice itself: the conviction that people should get their proper due.
This universal sense of justice reflects the facts of creation even as modern science has described them: All things are born from and are part of one common source, and giving people more or less than their due offends a deep human consciousness of this reality.
It is literally true that all existence is traceable to one undivided point of infinitely dense energy. Since energy cannot be destroyed but can only change its form, this fact necessarily means that the oneness of all things endures in its many permutations.
Yet we are likely to be ignorant or forgetful of this fact. Our individual birth out of infinite energy into the world of space and time brings an apparent rupture from the true, eternal oneness of things.
To the extent that the law is used to promote justice and fairness, it can be seen as an effort to help heal our apparent separation by bringing peace out of conflict, and community out of division.
We commonly view law as a merely practical way to deal with conflict. But when the law is used to achieve justice, it reflects a spiritual path, by serving to some extent our innate spiritual desire to be restored to sense of oneness with all existence; that is, to live in the knowledge of our true selves in harmony with all things. Advancing this goal is the lawyer's highest calling and the reason for the rule of law.

Last month, we dedicated our School Library to mothers. Now, it's the fathers' turn. Being a father is not an easy task. The cliché of the father's only role during child-birth is to pass out cigars and then later in life to become a detached figure wearing slippers and aloofly reading the newspaper is just that—cliché. In reality, men who take on the roles of fathers and father figures are very much active in their children's lives and help them with some of life's most important lessons. So in honor of these men, we want to wish you, our readers, a Happy Father's Day and present the following special selection of children's books.
"Arthur and the 1,001 Dads"
by Marc Brown
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young
It's time for the annual Father's Day picnic, and Arthur is worried. For him the picnic is always fun with games like the pie-eating contest, the sack race and the egg toss. But for Arthur's friend Buster, the picnic is no longer the good time it used to be. Ever since Buster's parents got divorced, his father hasn't been able to come to the picnic. The year before, Buster even said he had a cold and couldn't make it, but Arthur doubts Buster was really sick. Arthur and the rest of Buster's friends want to give Buster a happy Father's Day – they just have to figure out how.

Catnip (Nepeta cataria)
Catnip is a perennial herb from the mint family which is native to Europe and Asia. It has a square, hairy stalk with typically green/grey coloured heart shaped leaves. Flowers grow in spikes, reaching to about 1cm in length. It is best known for its effect on cats.
As part of the mint family, catnip has a cool, minty flavour and aroma.
Catnip is best started by seeds or cuttings. It will grow in full sun in a range of soil types and climates. Prune well after flowering as the stems can get long and straggly.
Catnip is best known for his hallucinogenic effect on cats. This is caused by neptalactone, an aromatic compound in the oil of the plant that attracts 50-66% of cats. It causes cats to roll, rub, sniff and chew the plant.
Catnip can be enjoyed as a tea or juice and can also be used to season meats and in salads.
The herb has been known to assist with the symptoms of upset stomachs, fevers, colds, colic, pain, headaches, sleeplessness, bedwetting, morning sickness and nicotine withdrawal.
Rubbing cooled catnip infused tea onto the scalp after shampooing has been known to clear dandruff and catnip poultice can help with bites, bruises and sprains.
Facts About Catnip
Catnip used to be a beverage of choice before the introduction of Chinese tea.
Common Questions
Is catnip harmful to cats?

Are only domestic cats attracted to catnip?
Other species of wild cats including tigers, leopards and lynxes are also attracted to catnip, and bees are also attracted to catnip flowers. Alternatively catnip can also be used as a repellent for mosquitos, cockroaches and termites.

Possibility, Light, Hope and Vision/
The end of the year is here. Many might wax and wane about water under the bridge, regrets, missed opportunities, changes to be made, etc. I drill down on those topics, too (a little too much) but there's always another side right? The side of possibility, hope, light, and vision.
I named the above painting "Illumination" because it reminds me of possibility, hope, light and vision. When I think about these things it always turns my face upward to see the gentle care and power of my Creator, the one who never lets go and has no dark side at all. I hope this artwork is a reminder of His perfect light and leading.
So how about we celebrate possibility, hope, light and vision?
- What are some things that have gone right and well and good in your year?
- Where do you see possibility in the coming year?
- What are you hoping for?
- When you think of your "vision," what comes to mind?
It is my hope that as you consider these thoughts, you would see how He has worked in your life, the gentle care and compassion that has flooded over you, even if your seas were stormy. Let the gratefulness pour out. It changes us as artists and people when we focus on the good.
Thank you for following along with my art journey - for your support, your likes, comments and shares. I am overwhelmed by what God has done through my paintbrush and I'm looking forward to what He will do in the days to come.
I'm very grateful for you, dear reader.
Happiest new year from my heart to yours.
-- Beth
Soli Deo Gloria

For Immediate Release: September 5, 2018
The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization Details its Plans for Mesothelioma Awareness Month
Activities Confirm the Continued Push for the EPA to Recognize Asbestos as Lethal and the Need for a Ban, and the Administration's Continued Deadly Courtship with the Asbestos Industry
Washington, DC —September 5, 2018—The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO), an independent nonprofit dedicated to preventing asbestos exposure through education, advocacy, and community work; today announced that it is once again participating in Mesothelioma Awareness Month this September. During this important month, ADAO's community will honor and remember Mesothelioma Warriors with a number of events and actions including: The Miles for Meso Race, ADAO's 13th Congressional Staff Briefing, flying a flag over Capitol Hill in honor and remembrance of asbestos victims, and more.
ADAO President and CEO, Linda Reinstein, outlined the importance of this month: "Each year nearly 40,000 Americans die from asbestos-related diseases, yet imports and use continue. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been tip toeing around enacting an asbestos ban in the U.S. even though asbestos is a known carcinogen that is legal and lethal.
"It is a stark reminder as we begin Mesothelioma Awareness Month, that asbestos importers and users continue to lobby Congress and allow this man-made disaster to endure. It is unconscionable to know that yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee began its hearing for President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, which, if confirmed could drastically shift the direction of our country as Kavanaugh is staunchly anti-environment.
"President Trump and the EPA, who have close ties to the chemical industry, have defended the ongoing deadly imports and use of asbestos. Russia's Uralasbest company, one of the largest asbestos producers, posted photos on its Facebook page of pallets of chrysotile asbestos wrapped in plastic with Trump's image at the center of a large red seal stating: APPROVED BY DONALD TRUMP, 45TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
"For the second year in a row, Senator Dick Durbin has helped ADAO secure a flag to fly over Capitol Hill in honor and remembrance of asbestos victims for Mesothelioma Awareness Day. The ADAO community is eternally grateful for the work and advocacy of United States Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois and his tireless staff, for enabling this monumental occasion to become a reality."
ADAO awareness events this month include:
September 22: Miles for Meso Charity Race:
The 10th annual Miles for Meso Charity Race will take place on September 22 to raise asbestos awareness and funds for education. Participants can run in honor of a Mesothelioma Warrior by wearing a tribute bib.
September 26: 13th ADAO Congressional Staff Briefing:
The briefing will discuss increased asbestos imports and deaths; EPA's failure to address and evaluate the largest risk of asbestos exposure in homes, schools, workplaces, and our environment; AHERA asbestos violations in CA, TX, and PA; new legal and legislative actions; and the Alan Reinstein Ban Asbestos Now Act. Credentialed Staffers Only.
September 26: #ENDMeso Twitter Chat:
During this hour-long Twitter Chat — which will be bilingual, in English and Spanish — ADAO will tweet a series of questions about asbestos awareness and personal experiences with mesothelioma, sparking a global conversation about the dangers of asbestos.
Leading up to Mesothelioma Awareness Month, ADAO will continue to collect signatures for its petition to the EPA to Ban Asbestos Now without Loopholes and Exemptions, which recently surpassed 100,000 names. Interested parties can help ADAO reach its goal of 150,000 signatures and tell the EPA to ban asbestos NOW.
About the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization
The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) was founded by asbestos victims and their families in 2004. ADAO is the largest non-profit in the U.S. dedicated to providing asbestos victims and concerned citizens with a united voice through our education, advocacy, and community initiatives. ADAO seeks to raise public awareness about the dangers of asbestos exposure, advocate for an asbestos ban, and protect asbestos victims' civil rights.

Worried about the mortgage crisis? Do balloon payments and rising interest rates have you down? Don't turn to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac for comfort. Relief from your high payments can come from a higher, divine source.
Saint Joseph the Betrothed, patron saint of craftsmen, carpenters and… mortgage brokers can help relieve you of your home and its hihg monthly payments. But how do you get the world's most famous step-father to work for you?
Ancient tradition (circa 1972) holds that burying a statue of Saint Joseph in the yard of your house will make it sell faster that oceanfront property in Arizona that is on the housing market. Burying a statue? It sounds a bit fishy but this is a tried and true, tested ritual.
In 1995 Maureen Williams relocated from Los Angeles to Savannah, Georgia. She left her 3 bedroom Craftsman in the capable hands of her friend and real estate agent. After 2 months the home still hadn't sold and Maureen was going broke keeping up with the payments. Desperate, she FedExed a plastic Saint Joseph, a shovel, and the promise of a bonus to her broker. While the agent was outside digging the hole under the For Sale sign a Catholiv priest new to the area was walking by. He saw the sign, the statue and offered full price on the spot.
Some say the practice began when a group of nuns looking for a new convent buried a medal of Saint Joseph asking him to intercede. Others say it was German carpenters who started burying the statues around the homes they build hoping they would sell quickly.
Whatever the origins of the tradition, it can't hurt to ask for a little help from a man who trained a world-renowned carpenter. Here's how to get Saint Joe working for you if you have your house on the market
Once the hole is about 12 inches deep place St Joseph in the hole. Againt, there is some debate over his position, though most say he should be placed upside-down (apparently he'll try harder to get out this way) facing the house. Don't have him face the street unless you want your neighbours to move.
3. Once your house has sold leave instructions for the new owners to dig up the statue, clean it off and display it prominently on the mantelpiece. Include a shovel and a treasure map in the purchase price.
With Saint Joseph on your side your housing crunch woes will be a thing of the past. Now if we could just get him to finish the basement, remodel the bathroom and fix the squek in the front door.

Vann is 2 Weeks Old!
Vann is two weeks old!
August 20th - 26th
I can't get over how much he's changed from birth until now. We had a busy week, but we are starting to settle in and get somewhat used to life's new routines.
What Vann's Up To: This week was so nice having Daddy home with us still. We love that he took two weeks off. Vann has made himself right at home. He is sleeping in his Rock N Play right next to my side of the bed. As long as his arms are swaddled in while he is asleep, he stays asleep for the whole 3 hours before he wakes up to nurse. If his arms get loose, he flails them around and wakes himself up!
Emily and Andy came up from FL to visit on their way to NC. Emily made him a gorgeous blanket that is so perfect. Andy kept us entertained with all of his questions. Vann was completely spoiled. We had an amazing lunch that Em and Erin picked up from Sugar and Spice! Shout out to Kimberly for having the best restaurant; she can make chicken salad like nobody's business! Thanks for coming over Emily and Andy. We are PRAYING you move close asap!
Jessica came to see Vann as well!
We took our first grocery trip with Gran this week. Daddy went golfing with Matthew, so we decided to run some errands. Thank heaven for Mom aka Gran because she pushed one buggy with the groceries while I pushed Vann in the other. I don't know how I will grocery shop alone while he is so little. There's not enough room for the car seat + groceries. Everyone in Publix would peak over the cart and check our little handsome man out. What's the first thing they would say? Oh my goodness, look at all that hair! Then, they would comment on how perfect he looks. I am one proud mama because not only is he easy on the eyes, but he is what makes my heart beat even stronger!
He also got half of his newborn session in. We were there for two hours, but Vann didn't want to cooperate after the first hour. He got hungry and didn't ever fall into a deep sleep. We will be back to get some family shots and a couple more prop shots. The previews Brittany from Nine Sixteen photography put up are amazing! I can't wait to see the rest and create our announcements!
On the 26th, we celebrated Gran's birthday and had her over for a dinner at our house. She loved snuggling with Vann, and we all enjoyed eating the chocolate and peanut butter cake that Auntie E whipped up.
Health: We didn't go to the doctor anymore this week, but we have an appointment on Wednesday. We are praying for more good news. I am so thankful the jaundice is all cleared up. My little boy isn't rockin' his tan anymore, but he still has beautiful coloring. His hair is still intact (everyone is betting it's gonna fall out and come back blonde...not if he's like his Mama :) ). He is growing and changing everyday. It kills me when Ryan tells him he's growing up. I guess this is why so many parents say they wish they could make time stand still.
His little bellybutton fell off at the end of the week. Ryan noticed it was missing when he changed his diaper one morning. We checked in the pocket of his swaddle and there it was! We could now give him a real bath! Ryan kept asking me if I wanted to save it... No thank you. I mean, I love to save things, but I can do without that! I am pretty sure he didn't want to save it either, but he wanted to give me a hard time. Lyla would have thought it was a snack!
Nursing: This week has been so much better! We are getting into our routine. This week went pretty much like this: sleep, eat, change diapers (sometimes clothing if we had an accident), sleep, eat, change diapers, etc. We would work in his sponge bath nightly and wash all that hair! I have my little setup that consists of the boppy, bib, burp cloth, and something to read while I nurse. Sometimes I will read to him and sometimes I will read The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding by the La Leche League. This is another great book for the new mom. It really helps you understand the different phases, what your body is doing, and the how-to of nursing.
{Daddy feeding Vann for the first time. Now, if only I could pump enough for this to happen regularly!}
Baby Stuff We LOVE: Fisher Price Rock 'N' Play Sleeper, Miracle Blanket Swaddle, Lansinoh Lanolin, Pampers Swaddlers, baby gowns, Medela Contact Nipple Shield, Boppy pillow, Britax B-Agile stroller and B-Safe car seat, and Padalily Car Seat Padded Wrap.

Alternate title: In Which Stephanie Actually Posts Something
Hey! Look at me finally writing something for the site! (I've come up with ideas before, but I was at school where I was thoroughly distracted by hating everything. But let's not dwell on that.)
So when I first heard about Disney's Frozen (back when it was still called 'Ice Queen') I was fairly excited.
Then it fell off my radar and I occupied myself with other things.
When it finally returned to my scope of things, I was more or less making this face -_______-
The marketing for this movie was awful. Like, offensively bad.
Basically everything was about Olaf – and The King of Town's Good Gravy did they made him look repulsive.
The trailers also gave me absolutely NO idea what the heck I was supposed to expect (and I can't stand that. Don't think I'm going to go see your movie just because you're Disney – that's only alienating me from your product, you corporate hacks)
But… I wanted to want to see this movie.
But for the life of me I could not get excited. I understood full well it was not going to be Tangled - that wasn't my problem. My complaint was that I didn't want to go see Tangled when that came out, but at least the marketing made it look appealing. (side note: of course when I did see Tangled I loved it). I realize I have the additional hindrance of seeing the Disney Animation Studios which did nothing to excite me either (and were my main complaint in comparing the advertising between this and Tangled)
I also concede that living in southern California, "frozen" is not really a concept I can get in the spirit for (I fricken LOVE the frosty cold whenever I have the chance – I'm trying to haul my ass out to Colorado as we speak – but on my last day of finals I was wearing shorts. Again: -_____- )
And then my friend Santi went to go see it, and gave me her non-spoiler-y review, which agreed with me greatly on the complete and utter failure of the marketing team, but as an art student she largely complained about the art (and I see where she's coming from on the character modeling. Though it doesn't irk me quite the same), and she basically liked it but wasn't overwhelmed – though she did love "Let it Go" and linked me to it (the main thing I got out of it at the time was that it was nice and "ooh – Idina Menzel" {I need context for my music a lot of the time}).
My tumblr dashboard on the other hand seemed to praising the film in all its glory (when people weren't going back and forth arguing about the Caucasian-ness of Disney princesses, that is), and I had to keep one eye closed in attempt to avoid spoilers (because again, deep down I knew I wanted to see this movie).
And somehow I got to talking to my friend Maggie on the subject, at first basically apologizing for my lack of enthusiasm, when she clearly loved it. Then it was followed by the revelation that of course I was going to love it because I do this thing where I'm resistant to like something, and when I finally get around to giving it a chance I adore it to bits (key examples: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, and Once Upon a Time).
Anyways, yesterday I went to lunch at Denny's with a bunch of friends (and was very unimpressed with the Smaug Burger. Sticking with the Hobbit Hole Breakfast henceforth), and figured I'd swipe the Spanish Frozen poster that was hanging out of a newspaper display case in front of the restaurant. There's no real reason for sharing that piece of information, but I do what I want.
Then, I lobbied to my dad to see a movie, Frozen, after dinner. Which – miracle of miracles – then occurred.
So we drove to the not-as-nice theater in town, and I waited in line for tickets while my dad parked, and I was annoyed at the people talking loudly behind me, (and maybe did ask for Tangled tickets instead of Frozen BUT I SWEAR IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD BEEN STARING AT THE SIGN FOR IT WHICH SAID "FROM THE CREATORS OF TANGLED"). And then we sat down, and I was hoping the children in the theater would behave (they did), and that I'd never have to suffer through another Aulani ad again (the plague of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses for ages), and more or less enjoyed the trailers.
And then the movie started.
And pretty much right away I was captivated by how gorgeous the scenery was.
And I loved the opening song. And baby Christophe and Sven maybe made me cry a little.
And then I was prepared to by annoyed by Anna, but they really quickly made that not the case.
And my heart hurt with the ship and the wave.
And Anna and Hans' song was like the most adorable thing
And basically it took a very short amount of time for me to love the crap out of this movie as I internally squeed "asdfghjkl; Frozen is perfect!"
Is it? No. There are problems. But there's a lot that I find so very well done it overshadows my issues with it.
There's not enough Sven, first of all.
But I also feel like there's not enough Elsa. While I recognize Anna very much takes the role of hero, I sorta wanted Elsa to have a bit more focus. It feels premise-wise like it should be Elsa's story: she's the one who makes shit frozen. Oh – and can also create life like it's nothing (a particular part of her power that should have gotten more explanation or something. Like at least have that make her a bit more tired and have to recharge. But no. She's just god apparently). Also WHERE THE HELL DID HER POWERS EVEN COME FROM? All we got was "born with them". I. Am. Not. Satisfied. With. That. 'Explanation'.
The Trolls also needed a bit more explanation I feel. (At least in how they raised Christophe)
That said, I burst out laughing a lot during this film.
And I cared about all the characters.
And Olaf (as others had told me, though I was skeptic to believe them) is an utter delight – a total gem.
The score is great.
The songs are great. (I still weep for Howard Ashman, though.)
And I was just generally so, so pleased.
And my dad really liked it too. (like, we both knew walking in that his expectations were not very high), but that was the first thing he told my mom when we came back home.
Now, why did I go on for ages about the advertising? Because once the credits began rolling (which of course I sat through; the after movie bit was grand) I was even more pissed off at the marketing than I was walking in (and I walked into the theater knowing that I was never going to get over how bad the publicity was). Why would you not give audiences a single clue as to what this movie was about? Why would you make all the marketing about Olaf who is really not that big a character? Why would you make him come off as abhorrent when he is a treasure? Why was I not aware of Sven until I did a Google search and found an article explaining the things you need to know before going to see Frozen?
(I love Sven a lot okay. And I don't know who I BROTP ship him with more, Olaf, or Maximus)
That said, I love this movie lots. In different ways than I expected.
Also maybe more than Tangled.
This movie dares a lot more than Tangled. And just has that quintessential Disney heart. It hits all the right notes, and hits them well. It mocks certain typical Disney tropes in a very clever way, provides some new things, and is just one of those movies that will work for anyone: young kids, older kids, and adults.
I very strongly agree with a lot of what the Walker brothers have to say about this movie. It just feels like Disney in a way that things haven't in a long ass time. And like Disney is back. And HOLY CRAP THE LITTLE GIRL IN ME IS EXCITED.
One thing that stuck out to me was their frequent 'failed comparison' of Frozen to Beauty and the Beast.
I love BatB, of course. But I remember getting the 'platinum edition blu-ray' or diamond or whatever when it was 're-released from the vaults' or something, and getting all excited because I remember loving it, and know all the songs, and being older, had just become aware of how it was really renowned as one of disney's best and was an academy award winner and all that jazz. And when then I rewatched it. And was really…underwhelmed. Which I suppose is just a different perspective to take into that argument, and explains some of my subjectivity on the matter.
They make lots of other really interesting points and I recommend you check it out
PS: the first thing I did when I got home was go and buy the soundtrack (playing as I write this. Bless you Amazon and Auto-Rip)
PPS: Goodness the demos/outtakes are adorable!!
PPPS: my dad enjoyed listening to the music with me throughout the day today as well

Milford strike for late point to get draw in Dungloe
Luke Barrett . . . late point to secure draw for Milford
Dungloe and Milford shared the points in a closely contested AllSportStore.Com Division One encounter at Rosses Park
Dungloe . . . . . . . . . 1-13
Milford . . . . . . . . . . . 1-13
Luke Barrett earned the visitors a well deserved draw with a late pointed free after Tony McNamee was hauled down as he bore down on goals.
Dungloe were the better team early on and led 0-4 to 0-1 at the end of the opening quarter with Ryan Greene posting three of the points.
Tony McNamee and Pauric Curley pointed to keep Milford in touch before Dungloe pulled three clear thanks to Gerard Walsh and Cory Gallagher.
But a Kane Barrett goal just before half-time sent the sides in level at half-time, Dungloe 0-6, Milford 1-3.
Milford had the better of the early stages of the second period.
However, Dungloe were back in front again on the three quarter mark when Ryan Greene converted from the penalty spot.
Kane Barrett drew Milford level again and it was nip-and-tuck for the remainder of the game. And when Adrian Sweeney skimmed the Milford crossbar for a point in the closing minutes Dungloe had the luck of winners.
But Barrett had the last say when he converted from close range.
Dungloe ended the game with 13 players after Doalty Boyle picked up a red card and Mark Curran a black after he had been yellow carded earlier in the game.
Milford also lost Joey Cullen to a late red card
