The complete guide to traveling with diabetes
Diabetes should not prevent you from taking a long hike or making a trip to an exotic country. If you have diabetes and want to travel, you simply have to carefully plan your trip. There can always be unexpected events (lost luggage, the marooning of your boat on an exotic island), but if you are well prepared, you should be able to overcome these difficulties without any problems.
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. "
Marcel Proust
Before your trip
Talk to your travel agent
Tell your travel agent that you have diabetes and explain the specific requirements that the journey might entail. This way, your trip can be tailor-made to better meet your needs. A missed connection in an airport can ruin even the best-prepared holidays.
Talk to your doctor
Consult with your doctor before planning/confirming your holidays. Discuss your itinerary with him and develop plans for meals and medication, especially when traveling through different time zones. Ask your doctor what to do in the eventuality of you becoming sick while on holiday.
Talk to your pharmacy
Ask for a list of all your medications (including generic names and dosages) from your pharmacist (especially oral medications for diabetes and insulin). If you take insulin, be familiar with the different types of insulin and know if your insulin is fast acting, intermediate or slow. Carry a copy of this list with you at all times.
Travel Insurance
Make sure you have comprehensive travel insurance to cover your trip, and keep copies of your insurance documents with you in case of an emergency. Some insurance plans do not cover pre-existing conditions, which may include diabetes. Make sure your diabetes is covered by your medical plan.
Diabetes in a foreign language
Learn how to say, "I have diabetes" and "orange juice or sugar, please" in the language or languages of the countries you visit. Try to find out what the important words for diabetes are (insulin, sugar, hypoglycemia, etc.) in the country where you travel in case you have a medical emergency or if you need to let people know that you suffer from diabetes.
If you use insulin to manage your diabetes, you should also ask your doctor if glucagon is suitable for you. Glucagon is given by injection and is used to treat severe hypoglycemia, a condition that can cause seizures or unconsciousness. If you are traveling in a remote area with no ambulance service, it is important that your traveling companion learn how to administer glucagon. Talk to your doctor if you are not familiar with its use.
Make sure you have enough medicine to cover the entire period of your trip. It may also be a good idea to double the amount of medication you need for your trip and to put one set in your hand luggage and the other in your checked baggage. That way you'll have a backup if you happen to lose one of your bags during the trip. Keep your medications in properly labeled containers, as issued by your pharmacist, and keep your insulin at the right temperature (between 2 and 8°C). To carry your insulin and glucagon at this temperature for 24 hours, use the iCool Prestige from MedActiv.
Boxes for used syringes/needles
In addition to your medication, you will need a secure box to dispose of your used needles. These boxes are usually available for free from your pharmacy. Talk to your pharmacist or your doctor about how to get one.
Be sure to get the necessary vaccinations at least four weeks before your departure to allow time to deal with possible side effects.
Prescriptions and Diabetic Cards
Ask your doctor to give you a prescription in English, because English is the most widely understood language by doctors worldwide. Download a Diabetic Card and always keep this card in your wallet when you travel. It may save you a lot of trouble. The Diabetic Card is also usually available from your local diabetes association.
Travel certificate
Download a Travel Certificate and ask your doctor to complete it. This travel certificate says that you have diabetes and that you should not be separated from your medicine, and that this medicine should be stored at a temperature between 2 and 8°C.
European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
If you are European and traveling in Europe, this card will entitle you to free or low cost healthcare in most European countries. The EHIC card is free and is available on the French health insurance website https://assure.ameli.fr/.
If you suffer from seasickness, take some carbohydrates in liquid form (juice or soft drinks) with you.
When booking, always inform your airline or your travel agent if you need assistance during the trip.
The journey itself
Copies of your prescriptions
Make copies of your prescriptions and keep them in your hand luggage in case customs or airport security ask you questions about the medications you are carrying.
Divide your medication and diabetes supplies in half and put one half in your carry-on bag and the other one in your main luggage. This way, even if you lose one of your bags, you will have emergency supplies. Above all, make sure that you have some of your medication in your carry-on. Take extra supplies and medicines in case of loss or theft. Include any other supplies you might need, including treatment for hypoglycemia, food, drinking water, walking shoes, sun cream and medication against nausea and diarrhea. Keep your insulin at the right temperature (between 2 and 8°C). To carry your insulin and glucagon at this temperature for 24 hours, use the iCool Prestige from MedActiv.
• Inform the security guards that you have diabetes and that you are carrying medical supplies. Your medication must have a prescription label with your name on it.
• All medications must be labeled with the manufacturer's name.
• Syringes are only allowed through security if you are carrying insulin.
If you take insulin, do not forget to take it with you at all times. Security scanners used during check-in will not damage your insulin or blood glucose meter. However, if your luggage is under X-rays for a longer period than normal, or if the luggage is X-rayed several times, your insulin may lose some of its effectiveness. So if possible, it is always better to ask them to pass your insulin through manually. Again, if you warn the security guards BEFORE they ask any questions, they will normally bend themselves backwards to help you. You'll probably end up jumping the line and getting through before everyone else. However, if you are a jerk about it, you could end up getting that dreaded full cavity body search.
Customs and insulin pumps
Notify a security officer in advance if you are using an insulin pump. The walk-through metal detectors and hand-held metal detectors can affect the operation of an insulin pump, so if you are using an insulin pump you should ask the security agent for a manual search in a private area. You must inform them that your insulin pump cannot be removed.
Where to put your insulin on the plane
Generally, the luggage zones on a plane are all pressurized and maintained at a constant temperature of about 5°C. This is a standard for the vast majority of airlines. So it's not a problem for you to put some insulin in the hold. However, if you are using an unusual flight (for example in the steppes of Russia with a Russian ex-military aircraft), please note that your luggage might be in an unpressurized environment and will be at a low temperature that is likely to freeze your insulin. Insulin is affected by extreme temperatures and should never be stored in a non-pressurized aircraft. It is important to inspect your insulin before each injection. If you notice anything unusual with the appearance of your insulin, immediately replace it with fresh insulin.
Generally, it is recommended never to leave your insulin and, if possible, to carry it as hand luggage, because if your insulin is in your main luggage in the hold and that your suitcase is lost, it may ruin your vacation. Wherever you go, always keep enough insulin for the duration of the trip and one day more. MedActiv manufactures a range of different isothermal for the safe transport of insulin by plane.
Tips for different types of travel
By plane
Be sure to give yourself extra time before your flight because when you arrive at the security check with insulin and syringes, the security control of the airport may take a few minutes more.
Airlines usually offer special meals for diabetics (however you must notify them at least 48 hours in advance), but with a little planning, the regular meals in an airplane can normally fit into your usual diet. Always have appropriate snacks with you in case your flight or the meal is delayed, or if the meal provided does not have enough carbohydrates. Be aware of time zone changes and of the timing of your meals and prepare your medication accordingly. If you sleep during your flight, use an alarm clock or ask the flight attendant to wake you up at meal times or when it is time to take your medication.
Try to stay active during your trip: walk through the terminal before boarding, do simple stretching exercises in your seat or make circles with your ankles. If possible, elevate your legs every now and then.
If you are using a prescription drug it is important to have it with you and to know how to use it and any side effects that you may have. This will help you in explaining to the flight attendant how to help you if you need it.
By car
Whether you are a driver or a passenger, it is very important to check your blood sugar regularly. Check it before you leave home, and again every four hours during your trip. Stop every few hours to stretch your legs and do some physical activity to improve circulation in your legs. At the first sign of hypoglycemia take a dose of simple sugars such as glucose tablets, 175 ml of fruit juice or even a soft drink. Follow this with longer acting carbohydrates and protein such as a sandwich. Do not start driving again until the symptoms have disappeared and your blood glucose values are greater than 6 mmol/l. If you take insulin, avoid driving between your injection and your next meal. Limit your driving to a maximum of 12 hours per day, or six hours between meals. Keep your medication, meals and snacks as regular as possible. If you are stuck in a traffic jam, car breakdown, or take wrong directions, it will not always be possible to find a restaurant, so always bring along enough stuff to treat low blood sugar (glucose tablets, fruit juice or soft drinks).
Cruise liners are known for their extravagant buffets. With such a wide variety of appetizers and dishes available, it is easy to overindulge. If possible, try to get a sample menu of the cruise and you'll then have an idea of the types of food served and will be able to plan your meals accordingly.
Stay active to compensate for any extra food you eat. Cruise ships offer a wide range of activities; try an aerobics course, swimming, or just have a romantic stroll on the deck at sunset.
It's always a good idea to make the cruise staff aware of your diabetes in case of problems.
Hikes in the great outdoors are often the most fun but remember the cardinal rule: do not go camping or hiking alone. Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return so that you can be found in the case of an emergency. Take a first aid kit and if you use insulin, take some glucagon (glucagon is administered when a person has severe hypoglycemia). Teach your traveling companion when and how to use glucagon. For more information on glucagon, talk to your doctor.
The key to enjoying a camping trip is to avoid things that will significantly change your glucose levels, such as significantly more intense physical activity than usual. Watch out for cuts, bruises, sunburns, blisters and insect bites. Make sure your food and water are not contaminated. Be sure to eat and drink enough to meet your needs - bring extra food, water, medication and sugar. If you are going to be very active, you may need to take less insulin, but talk to your doctor before doing so.
During the trip
Checking your blood sugar during the trip
Checking your blood sugar while traveling is as important (if not more) than when you are at home. Bring the instruction manual for your meter, as well as extra batteries and test strips. To facilitate the monitoring of injections and meals during time zones changes, keep your watch to the departure time zone until the morning after your arrival.
Check your blood sugar as soon as possible after landing. With the time differences, it can be hard to tell if you have a very low or very high glucose levels.
After a long flight, try to relax for a few days to get your system back in shape. Check your blood sugar regularly. If you take insulin, plan your activities so that you can integrate your insulin and meals in your workflow.
Insulin during the trip
Insulins sometimes have different brands and dosages in some countries. If you need to buy insulin during your trip, make sure that the brands and insulin dosages are the same as those you normally use. Try using your own drugs and syringes in the third world countries and avoid using local needles if they are not sterile.
In general, you should use the brand and formulation of insulin that was prescribed by your doctor. However, if you need more insulin when you're on the road and your usual brand is unavailable, you can replace your insulin by an equivalent formulation of another brand (ex. NovoLog for Humalog, Humulin R for Novolin R). However, any change in the formulation (ex. fast-acting for slow-release) requires medical supervision.
Time zone changes for insulin users
Long trips often cross several time zones, so a 24-hour day may be extended or shortened depending on your direction of travel. You should adjust your insulin schedule accordingly. Your glycemic control may be disturbed by a change in schedule, modified activity, or a disturbance in your sleep patterns.
• When traveling east, your travel days will be shorter. If you lose more than two hours, you will need to take less intermediate or slow insulin.
• When traveling west, your travel days will be longer. If you gain more than two hours, you will need to take extra units of insulin and more food.
• You can change the time of your meals and injections for up to two hours in a day without adjusting your insulin dose or your meal plan.
• Follow your usual meals whenever possible.
• If you cross more than two time zones, you should prepare a schedule of meals and insulin together with your doctor.
Time zone changes for users of oral medications
If the time difference is less than three hours, you can move the time of your medications by an hour and a half. If the time difference is more than three hours, you should ask your doctor for advice.
Emergency food
Always carry some snacks with you in case of a drop in blood sugar or in case you are unable to eat your planned meal on time. Cheese, biscuits, fresh or dried fruit, energy bars and sandwiches are all healthy choices that are easy to carry in a handbag. Also carry some fast-acting sugar with you, such as glucose tablets or juice.
Avoid tap water in developing countries. This includes ice cubes made from tap water.
Alcohol, diabetes and travel
Consumption of alcohol may increase your risk of hypoglycemia. However, travel is often equivalent to a holiday where alcohol consumption might be higher than usual. To reduce this risk, take the following steps:
Before drinking alcohol…
• Eat regular meals, take your medication and check your blood sugar frequently (keep your meter with you).
• Keep a treatment for hypoglycemia with you (glucose tablets or fruit juice).
• Wherever you are, make sure someone knows how to recognize signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and how to treat it so that they can help you.
• Be aware that glucagon, a treatment for blood glucose, does not work when alcohol is in the body. For this reason, make sure someone knows how to call an ambulance if you lose consciousness.
• Wear diabetes identification such as a Diabetic Card or a Medicaid bracelet.
While drinking alcohol…
• Eat foods that are rich in carbohydrates.
• Eat even more foods that are rich in carbohydrates if you dance, play sports or do other unusual physical activities.
• Always mix your own drinks. Use less alcohol and stretch your drinks with sugar-free mixers.
• Drink slowly. Between each glass, have a drink without alcohol.
After drinking…
• Tell a responsible person that you've been drinking. They should watch for symptoms of hypoglycemia.
• Check your blood sugar before going to bed.
• Take a carbohydrate snack if your blood sugar is lower than usual.
• Set an alarm or ask a responsible person to wake you up at night and early in the morning - hypoglycemia can occur at any time for 24 hours after alcohol consumption.
• Get up on time the next day for any food, medication or insulin that you normally take. Skipping medication or insulin may cause hyperglycemia, ketones and DKA.
Diabetes and foot care during travel
Diabetics need to pay attention to their feet.
• Take at least two pairs of shoes in order to change shoes as often as possible. Changing shoes helps prevent blisters and painful pressure points.
• Take comfortable shoes and socks and a first aid kit to treat minor injuries to the feet.
• Do not walk barefoot. If you are in the sea or walking on the beach, wear shoes made especially for the ocean. Protect your feet at all times when you're swimming in the ocean, walking on the beach or in a park.
• Do not wear open-toed shoes, including sandals, flip flops, or others (you increase your risk of injury and infection when your toes are exposed).
• Follow your normal daily care for your feet.
If you become ill while on holiday
When you are sick, your blood sugar levels can fluctuate and be unpredictable. During periods of illness, it is VERY IMPORTANT to:
• Test your blood glucose every two to four hours.
• Continue taking your diabetes medication.
• Drink plenty of water or fluids without sugar. Avoid coffee, tea and sodas as they contain caffeine that will make you lose more fluids.
• Replace solid foods with liquids that contain sugar if you cannot eat your usual meals.
• Take at least 15 grams of carbohydrate every hour.
• Call your doctor or go to an emergency room if you vomit and/or have diarrhea twice or more in less than four hours.
• If you take insulin, continue taking it while you are sick. Check with your doctor if you think that you need to adjust your insulin doses during your illness.
• Relax.
• If you have travel insurance, take your documents with you to hospital.
The storage and transport of insulin
Insulin must be stored properly, because it will quickly become less effective if it is exposed to extreme temperatures. At an ambient temperature of 25°C, insulin will retain its effectiveness for about three weeks. At a temperature of 28°C, insulin will lose about 14% of its efficiency over a period of one month, and at 32°C it will lose about 18% of its efficiency over the same period. If insulin is exposed to temperatures below 0°C or is frozen, it almost immediately develops crystals that make the injection dangerous and uncomfortable. The ideal storage temperature for insulin is between 2 and 8°C. At this temperature insulin can be maintained almost indefinitely.
Transporting your medicines
MedActiv (www.medactiv.com) has developed a range of cooler bags specially adapted to keep your insulin at the right temperature. These bags are divided in two main categories that are EasyBag and iCool.
EasyBag - the little miracle that keeps insulin cool for 7 days without electricity:
The EasyBags use gel crystals that cool insulin when they are placed in contact with water. To activate the EasyBag, simply immerse it in water for 40 seconds. The crystals in the panels of the EasyBag change into a gel that stays fresh for five to seven days using an evaporation process that will keep insulin at a temperature between 16 and 25°C (up to an ambient temperature of 38°C). Insulin can be stored for up to three weeks at this temperature.
iCool, the ultimate expression of innovation at the service of technology
The iCool bags use a new generation of chemical ice packs that do not sweat and that have a slower thawing period than traditional ice packs. This allows people with diabetes to carry their insulin safely when traveling, at work or on vacation. The iCool bags keep insulin for up to 24 hours at 2 to 8°C and also include separate compartments to carry all your diabetes accessories (blood glucose meter, needles, bandages, etc.).
Useful hints
• For environmental reasons, more and more hotels are using coded cards to open the doors of their rooms and these cards are also often used as a switch to turn on and off the electricity in the room. This means that when you leave your hotel room, you take your card with you and turn off all the electricity in your room (including the little bar fridge where you keep your medications cool). To work around this problem, just use any old plastic card (a gym membership card, business card, etc.) to switch on the power in your room. Leave it permanently in the room so that the electricity stays on.
• If you need to freeze the ice packs of your MedActiv travel bag before leaving the hotel, the refrigerators in the hotel rooms are generally not of a very good quality and will not completely freeze your ice packs. So instead of using the bar fridge in your room, go down to the hotel bar and ask the helpful staff to freeze them for you. After all, they always need ice in bars and therefore have high quality freezers.

Pretty cool place.....
Is this yours? can you give us some history on it? It would be cool to rent one for a vacation!!
I could call that home.
Hey Island Style
Sorry for the delay on the replay. Lots going on and I don't check this account so much.
The Stiltsville house is NOT mine. Unfortunately, non of these houses are allowed to be bought or sold anymore. Owners and their guests can enjoy them and apparently no repairs are to be made to these house either. It is obvious that most of them get repairs done from time to time I would suppose when NOBODY is looking.
There is one house that is owned by a trust I believe. Basically the Miami Outboard Club/Firefighters as a group own it. I've been there several time for fishing tournaments they have there during May.
Pretty Cool Place
This is in Biscayne Bay BTW JIC
Ahhh! the good ole days of when I used to dive for bugs out back behind Stiltsville.....

I think I have said before that my least favorite part of raising a toddler is potty training. Those of you with children relatively close in age will agree that trying to potty train while having a baby attached to you at all times is difficult at best.
I failed miserably in my first attempt to potty train, so I am the last one to dish out potty training advice. But I have decided to take a more conventional route this time. I am gathering every resource at my disposal. I came across the personalized Potty Hero books from Bookadoo and decided to give it a shot. I have never ordered a personalized book such as this before. It uses both an image of your child and their name to make the experience their own. Little kids love when the world revolves around them (which is part of why my attempts to potty train with my eldest were such a dismal failure… but I digress). This book puts your child front an center in image and name on each page.
It is a simple tale. It doesn't focus on the mechanics of using the potty, more the need to be vigilant and use the potty before doing something like going outside to play. It can be extrapolated with your child that this will decrease the likelihood that they will have to stop playing to go potty or, more accurately in the beginning, change clothes after and accident. The story is told with that rhythm that is ubiquitous to all good children stories, so it holds your child's attention well. If you want to make the more even more special, you can write your own forward (I declined this option).
The book retails for $29.95 for paperback and $39.95 for hard back. There is a boy version and a girl version.

"Imagine a silver cord, connecting two hearts; pulled tight as a bowstring, the tension hums between them like a living thing. Imagine then the hand of Fate, reaching out to pluck that cord. A clear, pure tone rings out, and the world stops on its axis for the space of a breath. Two hearts beat in sync, once unknown to one another, only now made intensely, irrevocably aware."
Shimizu, Sumi
True Name:
Partner's Name:
Iygari, Kyros
Marital Status:
Sexual Orientation:
Birth Date:
September 5th
College Junior
To meet her Sacrifice
Purple cut in a swing bob style with two long pieces framing her face
Ears And Tail:
Were the same shade of purple as her eyes
Average, with a bit of muscle tone developed from walking all over campus to her classes
Name Location:
On the back of her left ear, written on the shell
Sumi has a very optimistic outlook, and as such derives a great deal of pleasure from the small things in life. This particular trait was developed as a defensive mechanism for her teenage years, for she certainly had little to be happy about then. That said, she's quick to laugh and wears a smile more often not. At times she could be described as a hopeless romantic, often daydreaming about her future and who her Sacrifice will be. Though mostly she just enjoys taking life one day at a time, dealing with problems as they arise and not letting anything really get to her. Though despite coming off as warm and friendly, she is oddly closed off to others and doesn't like others get too close. Secretly its out of her fear of abandonment. Having never really had a father or mother figure, the only person she could rely on when she was younger disappeared without a trace. After that she felt completely and totally alone, but she has successfully been able to hide this from the outside world for years. That isn't to say she's unhappy, because she most certainly does feel happy. Just...lonely. Whenever that particular feeling becomes hard to bear she usually delves into the mountain of homework she more often than not has and as such has become quite a gifted student. Her teachers and classmates consider her to be dedicated, while Sumi sees it merely as an escape. She particularly enjoys math, finding a sort of peace whenever she's surrounded by numbers and equations. Numbers are absolute, Infinite.
"And in that moment, I swear we were Infinite."
Sumi was not born into a happy family. She never knew her mother, and her father may as well not even been there (and more often than not he wasn't). Like most though she doesn't remember too much from her actual childhood, just bits and pieces. Memories that left a lasting impression on her mostly. And out of those few memories, there are fewer still that she can look back on fondly. Namely those involving her brother (and her Totoro doll but we'll get to that later). The actual evens surrounding her birth are a mystery to her, her father certainly never talked about it and she never asked. What she does know is that when she was younger her brother was still around.
Sumi absolutely adored him. He actually paid attention to her. He cared whether she was sad or hurt. He was
for her. Even when she was acting like a brat (which was sadly quite often, most professionals would consider this a cry for attention...) she could count on her brother to stick around. Though usually he was making her behave and certainly didn't approve of the way she was acting. Eventually he became the only one who could calm her down from whatever tantrum she was throwing, a feat which still mystifies her to this day. One minute she was about to raise holy hell and the next she was completely fine all because of him.
Once such tantrum she remembers having was when she and her brother were at a carnival. It was a real treat for them to be out together, at least for her it was. To this day she hasn't been happier than she was that day. It truly was a great time for her, till it was time to leave. Sumi desperately didn't want to go, and practically drug her feet the whole way till they passed by one of those silly game stations. The ones with stuffed prizes ranging in size from a key chain to ones bigger than she was, but it was one particular toy that caught her eye. A teddy bear sized Mr. Totoro doll. From the instant she saw it she knew she had to have it. Thus began the mightiest of tantrums ever thrown. Her brother of course was less than impressed. Looking back, Sumi doesn't really know why her brother finally made a deal with her over the toy, but she is still grateful that he did. His offer? Promise to stop making a fuss and he would win her the doll. Instantly she was quite and a few minutes later she was contentedly holding her Totoro to her chest with a beaming smile.
Sadly that was the last happy memory she can remember from that time in her life. Sure she was content, she had her brother after all, but that day marked the end of something and the beginning of something else...
Around the time Sumi was eight years old, she distinctly remembers throwing a fit over something (she doesn't even remember what it was over now) and her brother of course wasn't happy. Though to be fair her brother had been upset even before her little stunt. It surely wasn't the best idea to grind on his already thin nerves that night, but hey she was only eight. All she really remember is that one second she was holding Totoro and the next the doll was in her brother's hands and she watched as he tore the head clean off her favorite toy. To say that she was horrified would be an understatement. That event
her. While the act brought her tantrum to an end, it also opened up a flood of silent tears and sobs. The tears weren't entirely for Totoro, they were also a product of the shame she felt. For once in her life she truly regretted upsetting her brother, and as he told her, acting like a child. Sumi went to bed that night morose and regretful.
She remembers the following morning much better, for moments after waking she realized she was snuggled up with Totoro in one piece. Someone had sewn the head back to its body. Elated she burst out of bed and scrambled through the house in her pjs to find her brother and show him what had occurred during the night. She never found him. He was
Her memories turn into a hazy fog after that. Though she was old enough by then to piece together what was going on around her. Her brother had disappeared and her father descended further into the personal hell he'd created for himself.
It wasn't until she was around ten that she discovered she discovered a word for what her father was: alcoholic. Sure he'd taken to the bottle before, but after her brother was gone it seemed like there was nothing holding him back anymore. Life was infinitely harder then. Suddenly warm meals and clean clothes were a thing of the past. Things she quickly learned she only got when she got them for herself. Sumi was forced to grow up or drown like her father. Thankfully those times were short lived, as it wasn't long till she found herself at a boarding school. Seven Moons. Back then Ritsu was headmaster and students were allowed to live on campus, a fact Sumi will forever be grateful for. Of course Sumi already knew about the Unit world before hand, her father was a Fighter and her brother had been a Sacrifice. But back then she got her schooling from the same people who taught her brother. Once her brother was gone though, then so were those people. She didn't really mind though, Seven Moons was nice. It was certainly better than being back home.
It was around the time she was twelve that she discovered what her true name was, and she wasn't even the one to discover it! It was actually her friend Yoko, who had been braiding her hair at the time when the other girl saw the black tattoo on the back of Sumi's left ear. It took two mirrors and careful maneuvering for Sumi to confirm that her name was indeed there.
The first time she saw it, the simple word brought chills to her body and filled her with nervous energy. This, she realized, was the first step to finding her other half. Like all the other girls in her year Sumi dreamed of the day she would meet her destined other half. With the appearance of her name she felt certain that meant they would come find her soon. They never did. Not once during her years at Seven Moons did she ever even feel a whisper of her Sacrifice's presence.
By the time she was eighteen and graduating she'd stopped waiting, not when all it did was leave her full of disappointment and worry. Instead she chose to just continue living her life as normal as possible, she wouldn't discover just how hard that would be until she returned home for the first time since leaving for Seven Moons. Her father was no better off than when she'd left, and if possible he was worse. It was as if the roles were reversed with her being the parent and he the child. Dreams of college and higher learning dissipated just as quickly as they'd arrived. Her only option to support herself and her father was to work. Finding decent work was a challenge all in itself, few were willing to higher someone without a college degree and even fewer were willing to hire someone with a diploma from a mysterious school that few people even knew about. But some how she managed to scrape by, bring in enough to pay the bills and keep food on the table, and she had to work hours on end to even accomplish that much. Life, Sumi found, was suddenly hard once again.
Shortly after her 19th birthday things suddenly, and irrevocably changed. She had just arrived home after a long night shift, and the house held an unusual stillness as if it were holding its breath. While nothing physically seemed out place, Sumi had still been on guard. Her instincts proved correct when she discovered her father lying crumpled on the floor (later after the shock had worn of she would remember seeing spiders crawling away from his body). At first she'd thought him dead, but a check check for a pulse proved otherwise. Sumi called 911 instantly, and it was through the quick action of the emergency services that her father arrived at the hospital before going into cardiac arrest. The doctors were able to stabilize him after hours of battling death, but at a cost. Her father had fallen into a coma.
After seven hours of pacing and worrying, Sumi finally returned to her home that night alone. What she found that time disturbed her almost as much as finding her father had. Laying carefully close to where her father's body had been was her Totoro doll. It was headless. The head was sitting in front of its body, almost as if Totoro himself had taken it off to use as a ball. Sumi immediately scooped both pieces up and in doing so caused something to pop out from inside Totoro's head. At the time though she completely ignored the crumpled folded piece of paper and instead scoured the house for her tiny sewing kit. Fifteen minutes and several crying spells later, Totoro was thankfully back in one piece. It was only then that she bothered to see what came out of the doll. Initially she figured it was some sort of manufacturers paper, but after reading the first few lines she discovered it was much, much more.
It was a letter from her brother, written the night before he disappeared. In it he described a secure bank account that he'd set in place for her and it carefully explained how she would be able to gain access to it. It would be another few days before Sumi actually gathered the courage to check out this mysterious bank account and when she did the amount inside literally floored her. While it wasn't a grand amount, it was more than enough to pay for her college tuition for four years with enough left over to take care of living expenses. Which is exactly what she used it for.
At 19 she enrolled in a local university, choosing classes that would ensure her an accounting degree (she settled on that considering she'd always been good in math and enjoyed working with numbers). Sumi threw herself into school then, determined to make something of herself and never end up in the same dark place her father had been in. Now, at the age of 22 she is a junior and that much closer to achieving her goal. Though to her extreme dissatisfaction she has still yet to come across her Sacrifice. She hasn't given up hope of finding them one day though, for to think that something might have happened to them is simply not option. She's certain they are out there, because surely she would feel it in her heart if it wasn't so.
For now though she is content to continue with school, and in general just try to live her life out as happily as she can.

Turn ons:
Cleanliness! Adventurous people, confidence
Turn offs:
Sweaty/dirty people, pessimists, people ruled by their fears
1. Sumi has issues with letting people into her life, she feels abandoned by both her brother and her father and as such is scared to let someone get close to her. While she wasn't abused physically or emotionally by her father, she was neglected. During her childhood the only person to show her any sort of affection was her brother, and after he was gone there was no one. In order for growing children to develop happy and healthy they need positive human interaction, of which she received very little till she went to Seven Moons, but by then her feelings of inadequacy and abandonment had already taken root inside her soul.
2. Sumi owns a male Bengal Cat (which she bought with the left over money her brother left her) named Howl (after Howl from Howl's moving castle). He's full grown and very active. She enjoys taking him places with her (she has a special harness and leash so he doesn't run away, most of the time he stays perched on her shoulders though) and Felix loves the attention he gets from Sumi's friends and strangers alike.

Monday, March 7th
On Monday, LfM had a meeting with Mr. Anthony Katamba (General Manager of Legal & Corporate Services) at MTN headquarters where I made a formal presentation of the pilot project to his team. He was enthusiastic regarding the project proposal and suggested I return on Wednesday to obtain a letter of commitment from MTN and to work out details as to when their IT team could visit the Health Center IV in Mwera.
Tuesday, March 8th
Tuesday was International Women's Day, a national holiday in Uganda. I spent the day with Wini orienting her regarding LfM's work in rural Uganda and her responsibilities as the new Program Manager. She will be the main link between our VHTs and LfM's partners in Uganda, as well as LfM's Uganda liaison when I return to New York. Some of her duties will include aiding in the acquisition of mobile phones, ensuring they are loaded with LfM's software, distributing them to the VHTs, helping in the training and usage of the mHealth technology and handling project logistics before beginning the pilot which will happen upon my return to Uganda in three weeks time.
Wednesday, March 9th
Wini and I worked out details regarding further screening of the VHTs for Thursday (March 10th), to complete the full complement of VHTs who will be assigned to the 25 respective villages* represented in the pilot project. I informed Mr. William Nabangi we needed at least 3 CHWs from each new village to be screened to complete the number of VHTs needed to execute the pilot. We also scheduled the VHTs' formal training with the AIDS Information Centre (AIC) and Dr. Olive Sentumbwe-Mugisa from WHO, who will conduct a reproductive health training workshop after AIC completes their 5-day HIV/AIDS training course next week. AIC's training will begin this Friday, March 11th.
Thursday, March 10th
As we had not completed recruiting all 25 VHTs, I went up to Mwera to do further screening of potential candidates. We ultimately screened 120+ people to fill fifty positions. We successfully screened and selected approximately 10 more teams, giving us a total of 23 VHTs. As we had 46 CHWs (just 4 short of the 50 required), I coordinated with Wini and Immaculate (resident mid-wife) to organize daily lunches that would begin Friday and continue for 6 days.
Friday, March 11th
Trainers came up from the AIDS Information Centre that morning. They divided our VHTs into two groups: one assigned to Community Hall, and the other to outside the maternity clinic of the Health Center IV. While training commenced, I completed the screening of the final VHTs, who were then sent to join the other trainees. All 25 VHTs positions are now filled and the HIV/AIDS and Family Planning training course, which will be followed by WHO's reproductive health training, is underway. After instruction, we had a group lunch. Before dispersing, everyone was compensated for their transport needs and time.
Saturday, March 12th
I again traveled to Mwera to ensure the VHTs were all accounted for and still participating in the training (no absentees, etc.). The VHTs were all present and the trainers' feedback regarding their motivation and adeptness was extremely positive. Wini, our Program Manager, is currently staying in Mwera to oversee the 6 day-training.
Upon my return home later that night, I had further meetings regarding the development of LfM's mobile health technology software. I met with Dr. Eddie Emukooyo from the Ministry of Health, who was a chief developer of ICT4MPOWER. This conceptual model is extremely similar to the structure of LfM's project pilot currently being implemented in rural Uganda. He was very supportive of our work and told me he wanted to "harmonize our efforts." We will be in contact as to how he can assist LfM's efforts in the future.To learn about the ICT4MPOWER project, click here.

Nursing is a very skilled and intellectually challenging profession. This means that nurses must have a range of qualities such as the ability to communicate, to solve problems, to work well in a team of people and, above all, to be caring. It is often said that nursing combines the art and science of caring.
Caring will always be at the heart of nursing, but the profession is also about much more – it's about being the best nurse you can. Nurses are actively taking a more prominent role in the delivery of healthcare as part of a transformed NHS and this will develop further in the future. There has never been a more dynamic or exciting time to become a nurse.
With entry to the nursing profession now at degree level our innovative courses enable you to study for an undergraduate degree over three years and register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a nurse. If you already hold an undergraduate degree you can apply for our Graduate Entry Nursing course where after two year study you will be able to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a nurse and achieve a masters qualification.
The degree has a sharp focus on practical nursing skills at its core and is supported by rigorous theory and cutting-edge research based in a clinical hospital setting.
Our BSc course is delivered at Nottingham or our Graduate Entry Nursing course is based in Derby*. We use a variety of teaching methods including formal lectures, demonstrations, small-group work, project work, debates, tutorials, workshops, practical computer-assisted learning, seminar presentations, problem-based learning and simulated-skills teaching.
In order to reflect the close integration of theory and nursing practice, 50% of the planned hours of learning associated with each module are practice-based. Learning in practice occurs in selected wards, departments, schools, health centres, primary healthcare teams and other settings within the local NHS and independent healthcare sector and the social services sector. In these settings, guided observation, critical incident analysis, clinical teaching and student portfolios are used to help you reflect on your experiences and examine the relevance of your theoretical learning to nursing practice.
*As of January 2020, students will be based at the School of Health Sciences, Nottingham. Those commencing January 2019 will be based at the Derby Centre for one year, then at Nottingham from their second year for theory.
We use a variety of methods to test your knowledge and skills, varying from module to module, including essays, journal papers, presentations, written examinations, clinical exams, portfolios, case studies and dissertations. There is also continuous assessment of your practical skills, ensuring you are meeting the required standard.
Successful completion of our courses leads to professional registration as a nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
Nursing graduates enjoy careers in a range of diverse settings. Nurses are the largest group of staff in the NHS and a UK Registered Nurse qualification is widely recognised for employment in international nursing posts.
A newly qualified nurse working in the NHS can expect to be employed at Band 5 with a salary ranging from £22,128 up to £28,746*. With career progression and development there is the prospect of applying for senior clinical posts, for example, Band 6 Ward Manager/Band 6 District Nurse (salary range £26,565-£35,577) and Band 7 Specialist Nurse (salary range £31,696-£41,787)*.
In 2016, 99.4% of undergraduates from the School of Health Sciences who were available for employment had secured work or further study within six months of graduation. The average starting salary was £22,523 with the highest being £38,000**.
* Correct as of 1 April 2017.
** Known destinations of full-time home undergraduates who were available for work, 2015/16. Salaries are calculated based on the median of those in full-time paid employment within the UK.
All BSc* students have the opportunity to spend between two and four weeks undertaking an international clinical elective placement. Previous students have undertaken placements in Australia, Barbados, Cape Verde, Germany, Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Kenya, Malawi, Nepal, New Zealand, Philippines, Romania, Seychelles, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda and USA.
In addition to the four week elective placement, students are also given the opportunity to apply for a 9-week Erasmus placement in Europe with one of our partner institutions in France, Ireland, Malta, Norway, Spain or Sweden.

Access to work visited me in December. But now they recommended different things to what we discussed and I'm not sure if this is right?
My query was re Radio Mic (not nice - automatic fill in on my kindle). Basically at the meeting, the lady talked about a Roger Pen and I asked for training for my colleagues. Now the letter has come from DWP and it refers to a phonak Radio system and 6 'Coping Strategy' sessions - I didn't ask for them. So what do I do?
I would go back to AtW and ask the assessor why she's changed it from what was discussed at the meeting. There might be some sort of mix up at their end.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is the first non-pharmacological treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) approved by the FDA. I am happy to share the following press release from Neuronetics, Inc, and proud to be a part of the TMS Center of Lexington, LLC. Our results treating patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) have been extremely encouraging and we are poised to continue helping the patients in this city. Dr. Miranda.
About NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy
NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy is the established leader in TMS, a non-invasive form of neuromodulation. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is the #1 physician-preferred TMS treatment for patients with MDD, and there are over 800 NeuroStar systems in 49 states.
With over 300 million covered lives, NeuroStar is widely reimbursed by most commercial and government health plans, including Medicare and Tricare. In addition, there are programs in place, such as NeuroStar Reimbursement Support, to help patients and providers obtain coverage and reimbursement for NeuroStar Advanced Therapy.
NeuroStar is indicated for the treatment of MDD in adult patients who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode. In an NIMH-funded, independent, randomized controlled trial, patients treated with TMS using a clinical-trial version of the NeuroStar System were four times more likely to achieve remission compared to patients receiving sham treatment (P = 0.0173; odds ratio = 4.05).1 The most common side effect is pain or discomfort at or near the treatment site, which usually resolves within one week. It is contraindicated in people with non-removable conductive metal in or near the head. Long term durability of effect has not been established in a randomized controlled trial.
Malvern, Pa., October 9, 2017 - Neuronetics, Inc., a privately held medical device company widely recognized as the market-leader in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with its NeuroStar Advanced Therapy for depression, has been named a Health Care Innovator by the Philadelphia Business Journal. The award honors the organizations, people, products and programs bringing innovation to advance the health care and medical industries in the Greater Philadelphia region.
"It is our mission to transform lives and meet the needs of the 300 million people worldwide living with depression," said Chris Thatcher, President and CEO of Neuronetics, Inc. "It is a tremendous honor to be recognized for the advancements we have made with our innovative NeuroStar therapy, and we will continue to change the face of depression treatment - helping patients transform their lives and achieve remission from depression."
With more than 1.5 million treatments delivered to date worldwide, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy was cleared by the FDA in 2008 as a safe and effective treatment for adult patients with Major Depressive Disorder who have not seen success with at least one antidepressant medication. The non-drug, non-invasive treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain that are underactive in depression.
Earlier this year, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy announced its next generation system as the first FDA-cleared transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment that can be delivered in under 19 minutes.* In addition to the updated treatment time and improvements in patient access with widespread insurance coverage, the new NeuroStar Advanced Therapy offers several unique and innovative capabilities compared to generic TMS devices, including High Performance Coil, 3D Laser Positioning, Contact Sensing and TrakStar™ Cloud. These advanced technology features provide physicians with real-time feedback and deliver reliable and consistent treatment. The next generation system helps health care providers deliver enhanced customer-centric care, allowing doctors to prescribe the right treatment dose and deliver it at the right location every time to ensure patients are given their best chance at remission from depression.
Because of its continued success and innovation in the industry, Neuronetics closed on a $15 million Series G funding round from investors earlier this year to broaden its U.S. commercial operations, expand patient access and fund additional clinical trials for the treatment of psychiatric disorders.

Everyone has an opinion on which "new mom" product seems unnecessary but turns out to be indispensable. Thanks to the excellent design and multi-purpose of a Little Chief Cover, this is my suggestion to new moms. My son slept so much better in his car seat when he was protected by the lightweight Little Chief. You won't regret adding this to your new mom arsenal! - Amanda P.
Little Chief Covers are the perfect baby shower gift. I bought one for my daughter and she loves that the cover is something soft and functional that she can use every day. - A.S.
My Little Chief Cover has been great! I really like the fabric and how light weight it is. I feel like my baby girl doesn't get as hot nursing since it's so much lighter. It was great for travelling and even keeping her close to me on takeoff and landing with a bit of extra support. Since the plane doesn't allow you to wear a carrier or anything for your baby, this was helpful with keeping her in that burping position without it restricting her the way a carrier would. The compact fold is really convenient as it takes up less space in the diaper bag! - Lindsay

I swim laps daily. It is repetitive exercise: I swim to the opposite wall of the pool, turn and swim back, turn again and swim back, and so on.
The repetition lends itself to a sort of meditation. I get into what athletes call the "zone," during which I am simply swimming, plunging my hands in front and pulling myself past my hands over and over and over, not thinking of anything in particular but not not-thinking either.
At these times swimming feels like dancing. Or yoga.
But the aspects of swimming that lend themselves to meditation – repetition, simplicity, immersion in water – also make it easy to lose track of where I am in the workout. It's a curious irony of swimming: I am constantly moving through the water, wall to wall, but I'm always in the same place, the pool. One lap is the same as another. I lose count.
There are many ways to make a counting error. If I set out to swim 120 laps, for instance, I can easily double count without realizing it. I notice that when I'm doing a long set, say 1,000 yards, without stopping, if I'm the least bit unfocused I start to anticipate the lap to come: thus, while I am swimming along with the number 15 in my head, because that's my lap, I think the next lap will be 16, and then the number 16 is in my head and I get confused: am I on 15 or 16? Or 17? I don't remember. And each lap is so like the others that there's no easy mnemonic to remember a particular lap.
As a result I try to break my workouts into smaller sets. I do this for the cardio-vascular benefits as well. But there is clearly a benefit in keeping track of how far I've swum. It gives my workout a landscape, a context through which I swim that varies enough that at any point I have an idea just "where" I am. This morning's program:
400 yards swim
200 yards kick
400 yards pull
100 kick
100 pull
100 IM (butterfly, back, breast, free)
100 drill (25 no breath, 50 drill, 25 swim)
16x25 sprint on :30
That's a little over 3,000 yards. But because it's broken into segments and the segments vary, I know how far I've gone, what lap I'm on, what I'm doing next, how far I've come, and how far is left. It's like walking a familiar trail in the forest.
What intrigues me about this in the context of thinking about places, is that the "place" of the pool is expanded into a broader temporal context. The swim involves me traveling through various locations within the space of the pool over the various sections of the workout.
It is a kind of place-making, the sort of thing we do with any geography: a house – endowing it with memories; a city – creating routes and routines; a workshop – making a work day with beginning, middle, and end. The workout gives me a sense of flowing from one point to another, and a sense of familiarity, of knowing where I am.
In my virtual landscape, long sets feel like swimming uphill. Short sets feel like downhill. Broken sets with multiple components flow through a space with varying features: a hilly environment. Long repetitive sets are monotonous, like an empty plain. (Photo above from Loughborough Pool, GB)

text: I have a 1.67 non HD 15-inch powerbook, with 1GB of RAM. I get a lot of pageouts, and it's often slow. I think adding RAM would be useful -- for everything from my use of photo editing programs to just using things like slingplayer. On the other hand, RAM is still pricey -- About $200+ for 2GBs -- and it's a two-year old computer of a model that has the propensity (but has not been yet effected) to have a lower RAM slot failure problem (I still have a year on apple care in any event). So, do I dump the money into the older computer (might as well upgrade the OS later too), or just struggle along using the PB knowing that I won't get another maching for a year (I just upgraded to a Mac Pro, so most of the hardware cash went there, and my *need* for a new machine is satiated for most tasks when I'm in my home office). I think the logical thing to do would be to wait, but I'd sure like to realize some additional speed in the interim.

Bay Area Audio Update (E-40/Casual/The Coup/Clyde Carson/Turf Talk/San Quinn/Lyrics Born/Zion I)
1) "Callin' Out-Remix" - Lyrics Born w/ E-40 & Casual
Some real energetic, bouncy funk shit. This has been out for a good while now, but I still really like it and I just re-found it after much searching of the interwebs. I really like the fact that Lyrics Born reached out to someone like 40 for this since I never imagined they would be on a track together. 40 sounds different than normal on this track, but he still puts in some real solid work as do LB and Casual. "...let me ask ya'll somethin', huh / straight up / is the Bay up in this mothafucka..."
2) "My Favorite Mutiny" - The Coup w/ Black Thought & Talib Kweli
I'm real happy to hear some new music from The Coup. They always had that revolutionary shit to actually make you think, not just nod your head. They have a new album called Pick A Bigger Weapon coming out soon on Epitaph Records. Judging by this track, Boots hasn't lost a step lyrically or productionwise (I'm assuming he produced this, but I'm not sure. It definitely reminds me of his work on Genocide & Juice).
3) "The Bay-Remix" - Zion I w/ Clyde Carson of The Team, Turf Talk, San Quinn & Casual
I'll be honest and say that I don't know much about Zion I from Oakland, but I've been seeing and hearing their name more and more lately. At this point I haven't actively looked into them yet, but this song definitely caught my ear and has sparked me into finding out more about the crew. Good look on getting a bunch of Bay hitters on here.
If any of the links die and you still need them, let me know so I can re-up them.
New interviews coming soon including The Jacka, super producer Rick Rock, Mac & AK, The Federation and many more. I think I'll be reaching out to The Coup soon and Lyrics Born as well for my second interview with him. I really want to make sure that STRIVIN' is wide-ranging and covers all aspects of Bay Area hip hop music from the "turf" shit all the way to the "backpack" shit or however people want to classify things. I like to cover it all and that's how it should be.

The magic of colours
Over the summer I started collecting caps (from bottles, juice-packs, yoghurt packs... - just about any caps I could find). And, no, I haven't gone crazy ;-) This whole collecting business has a purpose: the caps make an excellent toy for kids! They love to "build" and make pictures with these plastic things! Last year, I took a bag of these to the school where I worked and gave it to one of the teachers of the 1st classes. She said that the seven-year-olds went crazy for this new game and every morning, when they came to school, playing with these was the first thing they wanted to do! So, if you have any caps lying around the house, collect them and give them to your kids or your neighbours' kids or take it to the nearest kindergarten. This way, you'll give the kids a toy they can be creative with (and develop their imagination) + you'll help the environment, too (all these caps would otherwise end up on a junkyard somewhere, doing nothing but damage to the environment). :-)

Seven 'Earthlike' Planets Orbiting an "Ultracool Dwarf"www.washingtonpost.com
Sarah Kaplan on one of the most "holy shit" discoveries in recent years:
The newly discovered solar system resembles a scaled-down version of our own. The star at its center, an ultracool dwarf called TRAPPIST-1, is less than a tenth the size of the sun and about a quarter as warm.
Yep, that's an "ultracool dwarf" with a name connected to beer. What's not to like so far...
Whatever secrets it may harbor, the TRAPPIST-1 system will surely be a sight to behold. Though the star is small, its nearness to the planets means that, from their perspective, it appears about three times as large as our sun. The outermost planets enjoy the daily spectacle of their neighbors passing across the sky and in front of their shared sun, each world a large dark spot silhouetted against the salmon-colored star. Its dim glow, which skews toward the red and infrared end of the light spectrum, bathes the planets in warmth and paints their skies with the crimson hues of a perpetual sunset.
What a fantastic last sentence.
The fact the planets are in orbital resonance also suggests that they formed farther out from their sun and then migrated inward, Gillon said. This makes it more likely that they will contain water in some form, since water and other volatile compounds (molecules that readily turn to gas) tend to concentrate on the outer edges of solar systems.
Coincidentally, TRAPPIST-1 is located in the constellation Aquarius — the water bearer.
Boom. Interstellar mic drop.Read more...

Cake Mix Cookies
Any box of cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup butter
Lightly beat egg, add everything together in one large bowl. Work with hands till well combined. Allow to chill in fridge for two hours before rolling and cutting out shapes, or shape into 1 inch balls with hands and lightly flatten and place on greased cookie sheets.
Bake at 350°F for between 9-12 minutes.
As always allow cookies to sit on baking sheet for about two minutes before moving to a cooking rack to cool completely.
Normally I prefer to make everything from scratch, but every once and while something comes along that is just too good to ignore. This is such a recipe. Ever need a last minute batch of cookies but were short on money or supplies? With ANY box of cake mix, 1 egg and a 1/2 cup of butter you can make about 2 dozen 1 inch round cookies! Seriously. I saw someone talking about this on facebook and did not believe that it was possible, or it might be possible but there was no way it would taste good when done. I was so wrong. It came together like a cookie dough after just working it with my hands in the bowl. Then I let it chill in the fridge for about 2 hours, because I wanted to try rolling it out and making shapes. It rolled out well on a floured surface, and when baked for between 9-12 minutes at 350°F on greased cookie sheets they were perfect! Finished them off with a bit of butter cream frosting and done. Easy awesome cookies for just a couple dollars and almost no effort!
If you don't want to go through the effort or wait of rolling out the cookie dough, after the dough is well mixed all you need to do is roll the dough into roughly 1 inch balls and flatten them slightly onto the greased cookie sheet and follow the same baking instructions.

Aragonite is a form of calcium carbonate, the same material as calcite but in a different structure. It is the material that makes up sea shells. We often see it in two main color patterns: a brown/golden/white variety, which sometimes appears striped; and an eye-catching robin's egg blue. The little brown-sugar colored clusters called "sputniks" are especially popular, maybe because they give off such a friendly vibe — sort of like a little mineral pet. Rarer forms of aragonite appear as clusters of colorless spikes or needles, or blue coral-like masses. This abundant mineral is found all over the world. It's great for grounding, and even for grounding other crystals.
Care and caution: Some forms of aragonite may contain lead or other dangerous elements, so do not use aragonite directly to make elixirs.
Properties of Blue Aragonite: (Also known as Blue Iron Bloom) Use at the 5th Chakra (Throat Chakra) to connect with one's spirit guides and angels, to connect one with the air element, to cool fiery or angry energies, to bring joy to the user, to instill courage and to act as a shield against negativity, and to reduce stress.
Properties of Brown Aragonite: (Also known as Brown Iron Bloom) Use at the 1st Chakra (Root Chakra/Base Chakra) or at the 2nd Chakra (Sacral Chakra/Spleenic Chakra) to help one solve problems by multi-tasking and by considering many different options at once, to help one to release the fear of water or of drowning, to aid in transformation (physical, emotional, and spiritual), and to help someone to become well-rounded.
Properties of Clear Aragonite: (Also known as Colorless Iron Bloom) Use at the 1st Chakra (Root Chakra/Base Chakra) or at the 7th Chakra (Crown Chakra) to promote spiritual clarity, to aid in channeling, to promote deep meditation, to instill a feeling of tranquility and calmness, and to aid in transformation (physical, emotional, spiritual).
Properties of Golden Ray Aragonite: (Also known as Golden Ray Iron Bloom) Use at the 3rd Chakra (Solar Plexus Chakra) or at the 7th Chakra (Crown Chakra) to relieve symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) by bringing the light and warmth of the sun into the body, to bring inner joy that shines forth and affects those around you, to facilitate a connection with the divine, to help one achieve a feeling of oneness with all beings, to promote feelings of gratitude and love, and to help one overcome life's most difficult obstacles.

Bishop Nelson Perez shared impressions of his first seven months in Cleveland before a lunch crowd of about 200 people at The City Club of Cleveland's Friday Forum on April 13. His presentation was part of the Local Heroes series.
The bishop's 30-minute presentation was sprinkled with humor, history, wisdom and advice.
He began by recapping his journey to the priesthood, recalling that as a child, he only attended Catholic school for a few years. However, he was mesmerized by what took place at the altar during Mass and wanted to be a part of it, but wasn't invited.
Then one day, he followed the priest and servers to the sacristy, dressed and followed them to the altar. "I'll never forget the look on the priest's face when he saw me. He said, 'Who are you?' And I told him I was one of his altar servers. 'I guess you are,' he said, and that's how I became a bishop," he said, as the audience laughed.
Bishop Perez was reflective as he recounted some of the famous people who addressed The City Club, including presidents, famous athletes and other key historical figures. "I'm just the bishop of Cleveland. But believe me, when I wake up at 5:30 and look in the mirror, I don't see the bishop; I just see Nelson and sometimes I look like I should go back to bed," he quipped.
As he scanned the room, the bishop said he was happy to see so many young people in the audience. "You are our future," he said. Students from Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School, St. Martin de Porres and St. Ignatius high schools were in attendance.
He also mentioned the weekend events happing in town, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the Cleveland International Film Festival and Indians and Cavaliers games.
"The people are profoundly warm and welcoming in Cleveland," he remarked, however, he said he thinks they drive too slow, the (traffic) lights are too long and he wondered why people don't jaywalk like in New York.
On a more serious note, he said the community is very generous. He mentioned the 400,000 people assisted each year by Catholic Charities, Diocese of Cleveland. "They are served quietly, often under the radar. Most are not Catholic," he said, "but there are no strings attached, no questions asked. It is charity for the sake of charity and love."
Catholic comes from a Greek word meaning universal, he said which meshes with the Church's mission to help those in need.
"Dan (Moulthrop, City Club CEO) told me he's not Catholic, he's Jewish. I said so was Jesus. He wasn't Catholic," Bishop Perez said.
He said it is an incredible gift to watch the Church unfold in Cleveland. "I came here to become a part of Cleveland, not the other way around," he added.
He recalled the words of Pope Francis from The Joy of the Gospel in which he urged people to take initiative, be engaged, accompany people, be fruitful and joyful. Jesus uses images of engagement, he said, explaining that we should be like what happens when you add yeast to flour: "It rises, it doesn't explode."
He said the Church walking with or accompanying people is a biblical image. "God walks with people in biblical history, in the drama of life. Jesus enters time and history and he walks with us."
As for being fruitful and joyful, he said our joy should not be rooted in what goes on during the day; we need to accept it, deal with it, learn from it and move on. He used an example from his college days when he didn't study for a physics exam, but prayed fervently before the test. "I failed, but I learned a lesson: that I needed to study, not to pray."
He said Pope Francis' message for us to be missionary evangelists also includes calling people to peace, not violence. The social issues we're facing today "have plagued man forever," he said, pointing out that even Martin Luther King Jr., who was known as a prophet of peace, succumbed to an act of violence — but something positive evolved from it.
"That made him more powerful. It unleashed the power of what was in his mind and heart to the world and he became an icon," Bishop Perez said.
The opioid problem and immigration issues are other examples of things that need society working together and using prayer to help find solutions.
During a half-hour question and answer session, the bishop fielded inquiries dealing with the president's behavior toward women, the poor and immigrants; issues facing the LGBT community; political statements from Catholic bishops in the United States; how to juggle all the issues facing individuals; how priests can help the faithful change their behavior to be more empathetic with the marginalized, including immigrants; racism; the charismatic movement and being more ecumenical.
He dispensed some sage advice, telling the questioners that we need to rely on our core values, to meet people where they are with respect – while maintaining our core values and to find a balance. "Extremes are never good," he said. "I also have to realize that not everything is up to me. I do what I can – I do my part," he said. The bishop also used the analogy of sowing seeds to help illustrate his point.
"A sower sows the seed and then sleeps. Somehow, the seed grows and then it has a life of its own," he said. Once we realize our role and do what we can, it can be very freeing, he added.
Regarding changing people's behavior to be more empathetic, he said priests can do that by example – by walking with people. He talked about attending a deportation hearing with a man soon after he got to Cleveland, saying he did what he could to help that man, but going forward, the challenge was made to others in the diocese to see what else could be done. As a result, within 90 days a companion program was developed and launched, with 45 people trained to help immigrants and their families.
He also said the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops keeps watch on issues and regularly issues statements. However, he said they can't control what the media uses.
As for what he would say to lapsed Catholics, "You never left," he said. "You need to re-engage and work it out for a sense of peace in your soul."
Bishop Perez said the Catholic Church is a leader in ecumenical issues. On a local level, he assembled a group of interfaith leaders earlier this year to share ideas and a meal. "We committed to meeting quarterly," he added.
He also cautioned that people need to be careful not to isolate themselves with modern technology. "We need to be engaged – to break out of ourselves."
