Rockin Jump
My grand daughter starts Kindergarten tomorrow. This past weekend she and I had a party day to celebrate becoming a big kid. One of our stops was Rockin Jump in Modesto. It is an indoor trampoline gymnasium.
I think one of the things that I was most impressed about was how they handle the little ones. Children 6 and other have a segregated play area. They can go in the other areas, but bigger kids can not go into the 6 and under area.
Above is the lounge area. There are tables, chairs, vending machines, and as you can see 5 wall mounted flat screen tv's with several leather couches to recover on.
When you enter, you first visit a waiver station. Then when you pay, if you did not bring your non-slip socks from last time, they sell you a pair for $2.
If you notice, my grand daughter has 2 wristbands on. All children 6 and under have an orange band. That is how they know if the child is allowed into the kids section of the trampolines.
The pink wristband signified what time she was paid until. When your time is up, there is an announcement that all parties with a whatever color band it is time to leave.
They do actually limit how many people can be in the gym at a time. They also allow you to reserve a time in advance if you like.
I gave my grand daughter the choice of mini golf or going to a trampoline place. She has never played mini golf and didn't seem to interested. She has been to Rockin Jump before and her response was, "The JUMPING PLACE?"
Did you see her somersault at the end?
Stunt Bag Arena is lots of fun. There are 3 trampolines that you run or bounce down to the Stunt Bag.
Then you leap, jump, flip or what ever else you would like to try. The stunt bag safely catches you.
You will notice how proactive they are on safety. Only one child can run down their trampoline and into the stunt bag at a time.
X-Beam. I knew as soon as I saw it that we would be visiting it. The pit is filled with foam blocks and has a balance beam in the center. At gymnastics, they have a foam block pit and obviously balance beams.
The kids seemed to love it. It is so well padded. They learn balance and it strengthens their core
Dodgeball anyone?
I have heard of trampoline dodgeball, but had never seen it played before. It actually looks like a lot of fun!
How about Trampoline Basketball?
She scores at about 28 seconds!
Only one person on the basketball trampoline at a time. Again, an emphasis on safety.
There are two basketball courts with different hoop heights.
Rock walls are the best!
The kids get harnessed in. There are 3 climbers at a time. The three sections have different difficulty levels. My grand daughter actually figured this out and was able to get the highest on the wall she has ever gone.
Rock walls are great. They learn how to plan their strategy and how to pause, reassess the situation and change their strategy.
If you remember yesterday's post about the Hurricane Simulator, that is how she cooled off at the end of the day.
When we were done, I took her to Payless to buy some shoes for school. She asked to go to the McDonalds with the play area. By the time we got near it, she was sound asleep. Rockin Jump took all of her energy.
Here she is the next day wearing her Paw Patrol light up shoes!
Bart thinks he and I need to go here on date night! That sounds like a blast!!!

The Abolitionist - John Brown
John Brown, His Life And Passions
John Brown was born May 9, 1800 in Torrington, Connecticut. His New England values would inflame his passion for a single cause: to end slavery. In 1856, Brown was a commander of the forces in the Battles of Black Jack and Osawatomie in Kansas. At Pottawatomie, Brown amassed followers who killed five pro-slavery rebels. Brown's status grew in prominence where he led small groups in the Bleeding Kansas crisis. Brown soon realized that peaceful resistance to slavery was not effective. He began to press his belief in insurrection and violence to achieve his goals.
Brown was a deeply religious man of faith emanating from his New England roots. His premise regarding slavery was that he was performing the work of God by punishing slaver owners for their sins against humanity.
When he led a raid on a federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia in 1859, seven people were killed and approximately a dozen were injured. He attempted to arm slaves with weapons captured from the arsenal inside the armory. However, this militant campaign failed. His men fled. Some were captured by the local militia, slave-owning farmers and the US Marine under Robert E. Lee.
This action caused southern slave owners to believe Brown's attack was the beginning of rebellions by northerners to provoke slaves into violence against their owners. Though John Brown's anti-slavery campaigns played a major part in the festering of the Civil War, his idealisms and visions are part of his New England birthright of promoting freedom and equality since the early days prior to the Revolutionary War.
Documents show John Brown to be a well educated man of his era. He attended the prestigious Morris Academy in Litchfield, Connecticut. His desire to become a minister of the Congregationalist religion was curtailed due to lack of funds and illness. He returned to his father's home in Hudson, Ohio and helped with the family's tannery business. He showed entrepreneurism bent when he later opened a tannery in another town with the assistance of his adopted brother.
Brown married Dianthe Lusk in 1820 and bought land in New Richmond, Pennsylvania. He combined his residence here with the establishment of John Brown's Tannery on several acres of his land. His business was quite successful and employed fifteen. He used part of his land to raise cattle and learned land surveying for additional income.
When one of Brown's sons died, Brown was inconsolable. As a result, his business suffered and left he and his family in debt. His wife died in 1832 and Brown remarried again in June 1833. He had seven children with his first wife and thirteen children with his second wife.
When the Economic Crisis of 1839 struck, John Brown suffered enormous financial loss. He realized his trust in credit and bonds issued by the state of Ohio cost him his financial stability. He eventually regain his entrepreneural self-confidence and became an astute, if less trustful, business man.
Never a man to remain silent, Brown was moved to destroy slavery when Elijah P. Lovejoy was murdered in 1837. Brown would later meet with an African-American abolitionist, Frederick Douglass, who proclaimed Brown's passionate anti-slavery goals to be a great influence in the forward movement of abolition. However, Brown's achievements of his goals came with incidences of violence.
Captain Henry Pate of the Missouri militia, captured two of Brown's sons and destroyed the Brown homestead. In retaliation for Pate's attack, John Brown were successful in their defense of the Palmyra, Kansas Free State Settlement.
Brown's end would come as a result of the attack on federal property in Harpers Ferry, Virginia. His war against slavery pitted Brown and his followers against the US Marines, whereupon Brown was wounded, captured and brought to trial for treason. He was hanged on December 2, 1859. A few years later, John Brown would be remembered in music by Alexander Glazunov, the famed Russian composer in "Triumph March," which incorporates the melody of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," immortalized by the battle at Pottawatomie.

I decided to paint our bulletin board. I wasn't too sure about it, because it was such a large piece compared to the small mouse pad, but I took the risk.....
..... and I'm loving it!!!
This new bulletin board started an office makeover. I needed the space to be more welcoming, colorful, and filled with items that would activate inspiration and creativity... So, here is a sneak peak of what I'm working on.
This light blue bulletin board is definitely a nice touch of color on the cream wall.
The document in the corner is a list that I read and printed out from Patricia. It gives me structure as to how to be a better member of the blogging community ~and I guess it can apply to the social media world as well!~.
On top of the board, I posted inspirational quotes. There is so much more that I would like to do in this space, but not sure where I'll end up!
To be continued...


text: New to the forums but not new to the digital world. I have been building computers as a hobby for the past 7 years. I never knew that there modders for BIOS and glad I found the forums.... never can have to much info or friends online.... just got to know how and when to use there help! looking forward to hanging around! Thanks,PH

Shines spotlight light on SMEs who benefit from EU financing scheme

>> European Investment Project Portal (off-site)
>> One year of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) – FAQ (off-site)
>> State of play after 1 year, including a break-down by sector and by country (off-site)
The following video is the first of five videos produced by the European Commission.
The Investment Plan reaches the real economy
Europe needs investment to create jobs, make Euro more competitive, to strengthen the single market and support small businesses. A first major initiative of Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission is therefore the Investment plan for Europe. In one year time, it mobilised more than €100 billion of investment, with 249 approved transactions via the European Fund for Strategic Investment (EFSI). This money is aimed at projects that find it difficult to secure finance in the market. With more and more projects being chosen each month, the target of mobilising over €315 billion by 2018, is well underway.
Investment Plan flagship project: Ginkgo Fund, Belgium
Investment Plan flagship project: Mymuesli, Germany
Investment Plan flagship project: Dental SME, Czech Republic
Investment Plan flagship project: Smart Meters, UK
As part of the Juncker Commission priority to boost jobs, growth and investment across the European Union, the Capital Markets Union (CMU), a key pillar of the Investment Plan, aims to tackle investment shortages head-on by increasing and diversifying the funding sources for Europe's businesses and long-term projects. The Commission's overall goal for the CMU is to create opportunities for investors, connect finance to the wider economy, and foster a more resilient financial system, with deeper integration and more competition. On 30 September 2015, the Commission adopted an action plan setting out 20 key measures to achieve a single market for capital in Europe. This action is accompanied by a set of initiatives that are part of the action plan
Alongside the action plan, the Commission unveiled a first set of measures to relaunch high-quality securitisation, and to promote long-term investment in infrastructure. In addition, the Commission announced changes to the Prospectus Directive before the end of the year, with a view to making it easier and less expensive for small and medium-sized companies to raise capital.
Capital markets can only complement the role of bank lending. Although the European Commission insists that the CMU will firstly aim at benefitting SMEs, those benefits will be limited to specific market segments such as start-ups or established companies that might be tempted to switch from bank financing to capital markets financing. ESBG is convinced that it would not be in the interest of the European economy – especially in the markets that are strongly based on SME structures like the majority of continental Europe – to favour funding from capital markets over traditional bank lending. Not a policy of substitution but a policy of complementarity should be regarded as the best way forward in order to create a more competitive European Union.
Given the current situation of the real economy, bank lending is a fundamental source of long-term financing, especially for the SME sector. The role of banks is to provide long-term financing and to protect depositors, whereas other intermediaries' – such as asset managers – role is not to protect depositors but to provide returns. If the banks are not assessing or taking the risk for the transformation of deposits into long-term investments, then the saver is directly taking the risks.
Nevertheless, ESBG acknowledges that infrastructure projects can no longer be financed through bank loans only. Economic and regulatory changes have generated the need for new financing models in order to fill the gap between available bank capital and the multi-trillion-euro medium-term investment programmes, especially in Europe. To do so, partnerships between banks and institutional investors should be developed to benefit from the know-how of banks and the investment capacity of institutional investors.
As for access to finance for SMEs, ESBG acknowledges it is best provided by banks and not capital markets, as banks have the deposits that can be transformed into adequate lending, as well as contact with local communities.

15 November 2017
by Jo Kelcey, PhD candidate in International Education at New York University
A peculiar discord exists in the field of Education in Emergencies (EiE). We recognize the importance of history—we reference historical events in our needs assessments and strategies, and substantial attention has been paid to the importance of teaching and learning history—yet we tend to know little about the history of the EiE sector itself. How did we get to where we are, where do our policies and practices come from and how have they evolved (or not) over time?
The dominant historical narrative is that EiE began in 2000 when leading educationalists met in Dakar and committed to a Global Consultation on Education in Emergencies. The result was the creation of INEE and the emergence of EiE as a distinct field of policy and practice. All of this is true, but like so much in the past there's no singular history of EiE. Rather education in emergencies (although not always referred to as such) pre-dates the global norms and institutional frameworks that are now associated with it.
And, since many of the policies and practices that we assume to be new, are in fact not, these other histories offer valuable lessons.
Take the case of UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. Established as a temporary organization back in 1950, UNRWA now provides education to over half a million Palestine refugees. It does so across five areas of operation (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the West Bank, and Gaza). Yet UNRWA's rich history is often obscured by its parallel development to UNHCR and its seemingly anomalous status as a direct service provider to a specific population. This is unfortunate. UNRWA's history, while revealing of its particularities, also has much to tell us about the ways in which education in emergencies, and education for refugees, actually works. In particular, its history sheds light on the ways in which education outcomes for refugees are influenced by the often competing and vagarious interests and demands of donors, refugees and host states.
In the early 1950s, for example, UNRWA made the decision to align its educational program to the different systems of host countries. By 1952 it had secured the use of host state curricula in its schools, negotiated for refugees to sit host-state examinations (and receive accreditation), accepted non-refugee children in its schools and subsidized host governments so that thousands of refugee children could also attend public schools. Many of these policies have recently been adopted by UNHCR as good practice for refugee education.
Thus, understanding why UNRWA pursued these approaches, and how they actually played out, is of immense value.
Especially relevant today, are the implementation challenges that UNRWA faced. Stakeholders reacted to UNRWA's alignment policies in different and often opposed ways. Western donors who funded UNRWA were initially supportive of alignment since they felt it would facilitate the absorption of refugees into host states thereby dissipating the refugee "problem". Differently, several host states saw alignment as a way to securitize the refugees, without the need to treat them on a par with citizens. Finally, the refugees themselves were reluctant to see a separate and nationally oriented education system in exile since they steadfastly held onto their right of return. By the mid-1970s however, as the refugees' situation grew increasingly protracted, these perspectives had changed. Under financial pressure, UNRWA was forced to end its subsidies to host states, a change that provoked considerable protest and further segregated the refugees within host state societies. Then, following Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, UNRWA was caught between Israeli demands to censor host state curricula in its schools, the affront of the host states who interpreted changes to their curricula as a violation of their sovereignty, and the demands of the refugees to learn about their national culture and heritage. So began an irresolvable quagmire about what the refugee students should learn. It is an issue that continues to haunt the Agency today, not least as these different actors and differing perspectives can influence the continuity and effectiveness of the education system.
Similarly, UNRWA's checkered experiences with double shifting (a practice also used in Britain during the Second World War), as well as its pioneering use of distance and virtual learning during the remarkably difficult conditions of the first intifada (1987 – 1993), offer valuable lessons and insights for EiE efforts today. Nor is UNRWA the only agency whose history has the potential to enrich and improve contemporary practice. The education histories of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration which provided relief activities in the aftermath of the Second World War (1943-46), the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency (1950-1958), and many other UN Agencies and NGOs have been little explored.
Researchers, practitioners and policy makers should heed the lessons of these histories.
Indeed, in the drive for evidenced based policies and policy relevant research on the provision of education in emergencies, recognizing the ways in which the present can repeat the successes and failures of the past is crucial. It would be amiss to forget, and not debate, our history as a sector, and the lessons it holds for our work today.

Jo Kelcey is a PhD candidate in International Education at New York University. Her research examines the history of the UNRWA Education Programme and considers the lessons it poses for refugee education efforts today. She has worked in the field of EiE since 2004.

Antiquarian Traders Showroom Videos
I ran across a few Antiquarian Traders videos on Youtube that I thought I'd share. For those of you who aren't unfamiliar with them, they are a Beverly Hills-based antiques dealer that has a large inventory of very high-end antiques.

Goth - June 6, 2008
And usually over-restored.

I agree with the over-restored comment. I've been to the showroom and there were some chairs that looked like they had faux wood grain paint on them as a way to clean them up.

Universal Credit, the government's overhaul of the benefits system, will make life harder for the working poor at a time the country is "fraying at the edges", a former senior government official has warned.
Dame Louise Casey, who conducted a review into community cohesion and extremism, said the rollout of the system should be "paused".
Her intervention comes after a dozen Tory MPs signed a letter to work and pensions secretary David Gauke also calling for the implementation of Universal Credit to be frozen.
Dame Louise told BBC Radio 4′s PM programme on Friday afternoon the benefit changes made her "hair stand on end".
"I think it's ok occasionally to say we didn't get the implementation completely right, let's pause and see what we can do and at the moment everybody's holding out with we're pressing on, we're pressing on, we're pressing on," she said.
"It's like jumping over a cliff. Once you've jumped people end up at the bottom and we don't want that to happen."
She added the new system was "will end up making the situation worse for people that are working poor let alone people that are on benefits".

Universal Credit, arguably the centre-piece of the Tory overhaul of social security, will replace six of the main welfare benefits, and tax credits, with a single monthly payment.
It has been slowly rolled out across the country and is expected to be fully in place by 2022.
A spokesperson for the Department for Work and Pensions said: "Universal Credit lies at the heart of our commitment to help people improve their lives and raise their incomes. It provides additional, tailored support to help people move into work and stop claiming benefits altogether.
"And it's working. With Universal Credit, people are moving into work faster and staying in work longer than under the old system.
"Universal Credit is already in every jobcentre for single claimants, and we are rolling it out to a wider range of people in a safe and controlled way. The vast majority of claimants are paid in full and on time, and are comfortable managing their money. Advance payments and budgeting support is available for anyone who needs extra help."

Last week was my 25th birthday, and I started to write about it, but got caught up in celebrating and then promptly got sick the next day (yes, there is a probable connection between how late I stayed out and how sick I got.) Then Thanksgiving, another post appropriate occasion, happened, but it didn't seem right to write a Thanksgiving post before the birthday post, so here instead is a Birthday/Thanksgiving post.
I generally welcome birthdays, because so far I've enjoyed each year of my life more than the one before. This is not to say that each year is more fun – I maintain that the two most fun years of my life happened between mid 2001-mid 2003, aka my senior year of high school and freshman year of college. Note that I don't say they were the best years of my life, because they weren't, but there's something about that age, 17 to 19, where the amount of freedom you have is so much greater than the amount of responsibility you have* that it's almost impossible to ever recapture that ratio of fun to tedious ever again.
So no, 24 was not the most fun year of my life, but was also not the least fun (that would be 1997, aka the seventh grade,) and in fact, held some of the most fun moments and experiences that I've ever had. The past year has, more than anything else, been a year of transition for me, both good and hard (because I don't really believe that transitions can be bad.) While the year ahead is looking to be full of the same, I'm hoping that in general it will be full of transition of the slightly more gentle variety. But one of the things I've realized this year is that no matter how old you are, at its core life is always about dealing with transition, and all you can hope for is to somehow get through with something that resembles grace.
There are things that help you do this, of course, and here's where the grateful part comes in. Family and friends, and also good food, and wine, and art, and music. And books. All of the things that make life not only a little easier, but better, more colorful, bigger than us and our problems.
So that's what I'm thankful for this year. All of those things, but especially my family, who not only supports but encourages me in pursuing a life that looks and feels right for me, even when it doesn't resemble a typical picture of success. And my friends, who really – I have the best friends that anyone could ever hope for. There's not much that can or needs to be said about them other than that.

Man, am I getting tired of being all complainy. I really try hard to look at the positives, which is sometimes quite difficult, being the normally gloomy pessimist that I was born. But things do just keep getting better and better (she said sarcastically).
Needed labwork yesterday to check on the worrisome hypercalcimia and to make sure my white count, platelet count, and hematocrit weren't taking a dive. Went to the lab bright and early -- well, at 10:00 -- and there was a room full of people. The tech said, "Sorry, Ma'am, we're closed," which seemed odd because there was obviously a room full of people and it was, after all, only 10:00 in the morning. I must have looked non-plussed, because she further explained, "After I see all these clients, I'm closing up." It seemed perfectly normal for me to ask when she would reopen. She replied, "I have no way of knowing, Sometime this afternoon, but you'll have to check back to find out the afternoon hours." This struck me as a very shoddy way to run a business. Still, I had little choice.
We took fancy take-out lunch to one kid (well, as fancy at Taco Bell gets -- for some reason the kids think it's haute cuisine) because he was having a particularly rough time and I hoped it would make him feel better. Then we walked around Walgreens for 45 minutes, because, why not? We drove back to the lab, found out they would be open again at 1:00, so did defensive driving maneuvers in the parking lot for a half an hour, just in case a zombie apocalypse broke out while we were inside. You never know.
Blood taken, went home, just in time to go back and start picking up kids. Another day shot! Dropped one kid off at drama and took the other kid to get some Taco Bell for dinner -- important rule: if one kid gets Taco Bell, the other kid must also get Taco Bell within 24 hours or there is a rip in the space/time continuum. Or as Nicky calls it, a rip in the space/time condominium.
Got kid back from drama, came home, opened the fridge. The fridge was not on. Checked around, found the breaker for that part of the kitchen (stove and fridge) was tripped. Switched it back, it tripped again. Once more, with the same result. Pulled up info from the interwebs which said, "If a tripped breaker immediately trips again, DO NOT TRY TO FLIP IT BACK ON." Oops. Clearly said to call an electrician immediately before your house burns down and you all die. This was alarming. Not as alarming of as the smell of smoke in the hallway, though. It turned out to be from a power strip in the boys' room which was kind of scorched. Yeah, no idea. Unplugged it and threw it away. By this time the alarmed feeling was definitely increasing. Unplugged fridge and stove. Tried to calm kids down. Debated whether we could all fit in the car, along with the dogs and cats, overnight in case the house did decide to burn down. This seemed unworkable. No help from any quarter. Didn't want the food to go bad, so took the extension cord that runs the washer (the laundry room outlet that regularly runs the washer had shorted out about 18 months ago -- and there's also a shorted out outlet in one of the bathrooms -- yes, the house was apparently wired by meth-addled woodchucks and is probably a deathtrap in ways I haven't even considered) and found that if I plugged that in in a different hallway, we could alternate plugging appliances in. So most of the time we'll run the refrigerator off the extension cord, only unplugging it when we have to do laundry. And we can unplug that if we have to plug in the oven, or simply only eat things that can be heated in a microwave or eaten cold.)
And, yes, you're asking why I haven't called an electrician. Well, like doctors, electricians like to charge for their skills. Unfortunately doctors have already taken up all the money, and there is currently none left over for electricians. (Which is also why we have no working heater in the house -- hoping for a mild winter!) Come to think of it, though, if we lived totally without any utilities for a while, we might be able to afford to choose one item to get repaired! Maybe we can score a reality show about people who live like pioneers, or possibly cavemen! Really, there's opportunity everywhere you look.
Also, went back to the oncologist today to check yesterday's labwork. My WBC, RBC, Platelets, and Hematocrit all look good. So no expensive Neulasta shots to boost my immune system. Yay! But -- and there's always a but anymore -- the high blood calcium is yet higher and and the parathyroid hormone analyte is also way high The good news is that doesn't indicate any kind of cancer. The bad news is that it does indicate a wonky set of parathyroid glands. This, unfortunately, necessitates seeing an endocrinologist that is located over an hour away (because that's the only endocrinologist anywhere within driving distance that is covered under my insurance). It also means another surgery to remove my parathyroid glands. Yippee! The trifecta. I asked if this was something that needed to be done soon. My oncologist replied, "Well, soon-ish. Within the next two months." I asked because, even though I have already hit my out of pocket insurance limit with copays alone, it's all happened so fast that nothing is showing up on my insurance yet. And being that they won't take my word for it in any fine doctoring establishments that I am currently frequenting, I'm still paying hundreds of dollars in copays every week, with no end in sight. The copay well has run dry. After this week, it will be a choice between copays or eating food or defaulting on all the household bills. I'm supposed to be on a conference call with my insurance company case worker and the benefits department tomorrow to see if we can get all the claims expedited, but, honestly, at this point, I don't hold out much hope. Maybe they'll take an organ in exchange for enough money to pay for the next chemo round. Although I'm starting to get low on the organ front. I think most of the ones I still have left are pretty vital. So we'll see.
I was recently told that my health problems are "very convenient" and quite burdensome to the delicate sensibilities of certain people. Something about making me too sympathetic for some people's tastes. To which I say: Why, yes, this is all very convenient! Just as I planned it. Muhahahahahahaha. Even I can't understand my own evil genius.
So there, I groused about it, and now I go forward. I don't think people are bound to feeling sympathetic to me, because as bad as things are, there are tons of people who have it worse. Lots of people who have things that are waaaaay worse. Things I probably couldn't even imagine dealing with. And there are people who suck, and have to live with the fact that they suck, while at least I feel pretty good about myself 90% of the time. (And of course there are people too self-involved to realize how much they suck, but what are you going to do? Live and let live. I'll worry about myself, thanks.) In some respects, I'm quite, quite fortunate, and don't think I'm not grateful for that.
Message for the day? I don't think I have one. I've expended a lot of words in a lot of different mediums lately -- should that be media? I dunno anymore. And for all I say, a lot of times it just feels like messages in a bottle or scraps thrown into a wind storm. But at least saying things gets them out of my head. It's the only way I have left to deal with things, because every other avenue has been blocked off or bricked over or shunted into another dimension. Every signpost I relied on for the past 20 years to show me the way to safety has been systematically dismantled and burned until there aren't even any ashed left. So maybe the message is, as usual lately, to do your best. Do what you need to get by, to stay sane, to protect yourself and those you love. Sometimes it's a little to much to try to save everyone or help everyone, especially those who see your help as a hindrance (or an evil plan). Do what you can, when you can. Pick your battles. Decided which hill is the one you're bound to die one, the one that is truly worth it, and make that one count. Think good thoughts for those who have it tougher than you, no matter how tough you have it. Because no matter how tough you have it, there's ALWAYS somebody who has it tougher. Understanding that helps you keep your perspective and stalls the little pity-party that sometimes springs up. It's all right to feel sorry for yourself. To feel pissed off. To rail at the unfairness of something. To scream at someone that this, this right here, is the final straw. To want someone to hold you or take your side or just make you feel that everything isn't an unmitigated disaster, to make you feel safe, to tell you everything is going to be okay and make you believe it. But sometimes all you've got is you, and it seems like that's just not going to be enough. So you cry or fall apart a little, or even a lot. And after you've got that out of your system, go forward. There's no other direction that's going to take you anywhere good or anywhere worth being. .

A Pause in Our Regular Program
Gina is away at the ACFW conference and left me (Heather of Graced by Christ) in charge of the blog. "No problem, I can handle it," I said.
"Just post the drafts of those who don't post their own each day. It should be fine," she said.
Yup. Just peachy.
Except that Michelle of Just a Minute didn't get a post up and I can't get in touch with her. My assumption is that this post still holds true. It's the last thing she posted and if things didn't go well I can certainly understand why she didn't get her blog post up (and that means she really needs our prayers. In fact, please take a moment, stop over there and let her know you are praying for her.)
This and all the other craziness that comes with being in charge of someone else's blog got me thinking. Life has a habit of getting in the way of writing. Often, it is a love-hate relationship. If we have no experiences we have nothing to write but if we have too much busy-ness then we have no time to write. It is such a delicate balance.
This is especially so when the words start coming. While looking for Michelle's email address, I noticed her new favorite verse: My thoughts grew hot within me and began to burn, igniting a fire of words. Psalm 39:3 As a writer this happens too often, the urge to write growing so intense that we would willingly lay aside everything else for the time to do so. How do we stay balanced? How do we find enough time to do all the things that the Lord is calling us to do, especially when we also have the urge to write it all out?
This is where constant reliance on the Lord comes in. There is a time for everything under heaven. For us that means that there is a time to live and a time to write. We have to, as Elisabeth Elliot says, do the next thing, relyng on Him to show us when it is time to write.
I know many writers set aside a time each day to write, others write only when inspiration hits. I have tried both.
A couple weeks ago I tried to make a schedule. I have done it before and thought, with all the things we are doing now, that maybe I had better make one so we could get everything done. I scheduled in school time, writing time, ministry and Bible study time, chore time, meal time, etc. I posted it on the wall and determined that the kids and I would follow it and thus get more done. I promptly forgot about it until the next week when I looked up and noticed the schedule. I talked to the kids about it, how we should all try to use it. They didn't like the idea. I said I would go pray about it.
During my prayer the Lord reminded me in that nearly audible, quiet voice He likes to use, that He does not go by the clock and that He did not design me as a by the clock person. He was right, of course. I get much more accomplished, with much less stress, if I keep my eyes on Him and ask Him what comes next.
So now I am on His schedule instead of my own and know that even though I have not planned my day, HE has.
The conferance, the hospitalization, the craziness of the blog, even when to write; they are all in His plans and He knows what comes next. So today I would remind you also to not worry about all that needs done and to instead, do the next thing. His timing is perfect and His ways are awesome.
Heather Young is a saved by grace, homeschooling, mother of three, wife of one, writer, artist, and web designer who drinks way too much coffee and spends too much time at her computer. She writes for Graced by Christ, Everyday Miracles, and Writer....Interrupted. Someday, God willing, she will finish one of her WIP and attempt to get it published, but not until God says the timing is right.

I'm back from ACFW! Thanks so much for keeping up the blog! And, FYI, I found Michelle for you. She was at ACFW and being that there was not free internet service and tons of meetings to go to, she and I weren't able to get over to the blog. But we've had some VERY exciting news from several of our members and you'll just have to wait to hear it all.
- Michelle Pendergrass said...
Thank you Heather. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I am so appreciative of you handling this for me.
Thank God my husband is OK. No heart problems. They're going to figure out what it is now. I'll post on my blog a little more info.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU again!!!!

The Federal Operating Unit (FOU) Zone 'A' of the Nigeria Customs Service has warned smugglers to desist from the illegal business, especially as the nation is approaching end of the year, when business activities boom.Area Comptroller of the Unit, Comptroller Uba Mohammed, said this on Monday when displaying some of the goods that were seized by the unit to newsmen in Lagos.Speaking at the press conference, Comptroller Uba Mohammed said that the unit is well-equipped to fight smuggling, even as he revealed that it seized assorted items with Duty Paid Value of about N783.6Million in three weeks.He added that the goods were seized between August 9 and 25, 2017, after the unit intensified its operational modalities.Giving a breakdown, he said that 27 out of the seizures were vehicles with DPV of about N228.2Million."The smuggled vehicle include: Toyota Prado Jeep, Toyota Hilux, Toyota Highlander, Mercedes Benz, amongst others ranging from 2007 to 2013 models respectively. These 27 assorted vehicles alone have a DPV of N228, 215, 429, 10''. ''And these vehicles are coming through unapproved routes, the federal government has banned the importation of rice and used vehicles through land borders and the policy still remains and we will continue to ensure that the policies are implemented", he assured.Speaking further he said that the unit intercepted other contraband and also arrested 16 suspects in connection with the seizures."Similarly, our re-invigorated anti-smuggling operations yielded positive gains through interception of other contraband comprising foreign parboiled rice, frozen poultry products, Indian hemp, medicaments, used tyres and various general merchandise. Three containers were also seized for false declaration with DPV of N303,260,671,85. He added that a total of 16 suspects have also been arrested in connection to the seizures".He also said that the unit recovered N252,173,201,25 from duty payments and demands notices on general goods that tried to outsmart officers.The Customs Unit boss also encouraged legitimate traders to go about their normal business with no fear."I want to warn illegitimate traders that we have put additional measures in place to make sure that such illegal activities are blocked while to those who are doing genuine business, we are trade facilitators and we are ready at any point in time to assist people doing genuine business to ensure that each Nigerian citizen has something genuine to do''. "For people, who aid smugglers, I also want to sound a note of warning or advice, they may not know but we are now out for them as the year is coming to an end. Section 77 of the customs law states that anybody who aids smuggling by way of
sending text message or signal, even if the message did not deliver, is a crime and the person is going to be jailed for a period of two years'', he stressed.The unit also seized Indian hemp and medicaments, which were handed over to the Nationl Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and the National Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).Speaking after the receiving the seized Indian hemp and medicaments, the Deputy Director Monitoring, NAFDAC, Mr. Francis Onaniwu, applauded the Nigeria Customs for the efforts infighting banned goods especially medicaments to standstill."Sometimes last months, we received something like this from the customs and they have been destroyed. So we are enjoying good collaboration with the customs. They are very strong and powerful ally to NAFDAC in the fight against counterfeit and fake drugs coming into our country. Some of them have NAFDAC number so we are going to investigate and see if the numbers are genuine. We want to thank Customs for this collaboration" he concluded.In the same vein, the representative of NDLEA, Mr Lawal Opeleyeru, thanked the Nigeria Customs Service for their tireless effort in collaborating with NDLEA."I hereby take over the bags of dry weeds suspected to be cannabis sativa from the Nigerian Customs I want to use this opportunity to thank the Customs for their tireless effort in collaborating with NDLEA to ensure that Nigeria is free from illicit drugs. This seizure has done two good things, the first one sis that we have succeeded in removing this quantity from circulation and many youths have been denied access to these drugs.Secondly when you seizure these kind of thing, you have reduced crime in the society. We need to sensitize the people to shun this because once the buyers do not see it again, they will stop taking it", he concluded.

I have a friend from India, Preethi, and she is actually going through a Groom Hunting period at the time, which I found really interesting, I mean, the whole process and how different it is nowadays from the old days and stuff like that; so I asked Preets to tell me a bit more about it so I could tell you all and here's some of what she told me.
"marriages here in India are a super roller coaster ride!!! especially if it's an arranged marriage!!!" lt is a long process, she says, where the first thing is the horoscope, which is extremely important as they are written when a person is born, according to the date and time of birth.
So, according to each person's horoscope there comes a time in their life which is the peak, and all the good things happen around then, so it is said that is the best time to go groom hunting! The whole process itself has changed a lot from the way it used to be done in the old days--so if you thought this was old-fashioned...wait until you hear about the good old days!
Preets tells me that in the time of her grandmother it kinda happened this way: "the news was spread by word of mouth that Mr. X's daughter is ready for marriage and proposals come home!!". Then, the horoscopes were matched up to see if they'd live a happy life and other necessary things, if the horoscopes matched, the boy's family members would come to see the girl at her home. For this, she'd have to be all dressed up in a Saree (traditional Indian Dress) and serve tea for everyone! She'd have to sit down, with her eyes looking down at all times, afterwards, they would ask her questions such as "can you cook?", "can you sing?"...and that was pretty much it then! Later on, the girl's parents would ask the boy's parents "what are your expectations from us?"; because all the wedding expenses are financed by the girl's family, so the boy's family would say "ok...100gm of gold jewellery...and certain amount of money, and untensils or furniture for the house"...and so on, I guess you get the idea. It's sort of like saying "I'll give you anything you ask in return for taking my daughter"...well, as I see it.
The presents the Groom Family requests
If it is affordable by the girl's family, it is decided that it is that family the one she would go to--point to note: the bride-to-be and groom haven't seen each other yet! Then comes the wedding day; it happens in a marriage hall, which is like a huge auditorium where these priests called Kurukal (in Preethi's local lang) have got a fire going on. Then, the engagement ceremony is followed by a few other rituals that same evening. All the guests, unless they live in the same city where the wedding takes place, stay over in the marriage hall for the night. Meals 3 times a day for all the guests are taken care of, of course, all this by the girl's family! "...and trust me, it's usually over 250 guests!!" Preets comments.
Typical Indian Wedding
The next morning is the Wedding Ceremony, where the Bride and Groom exchange floral malas and the Bride ties the mangalsutra or taali around the Groom's neck which is the main and most important symbol of the marriage! This, worth of mentioning, is the first time that the couple see each other! That night there is a small reception, like a ceremony. The next morning, there is (yet) another ceremony called nalangu where the bride and groom play small games in front of all the guests, like rolling the coconut, breaking the papad, finding the ring, dressing each other up, singing songs and all that! I guess you could say they're somewhat similar to some of the games they play on the western weddings.
Nalangu Ceremony
By the next morning, the bride is sent home with the groom on a car, and before the engagement the bride and groom go on an open car with all the wedding guests walking around it to a temple! So if you're attending an Indian wedding, don't forget to pack comfy shoes for that long walk!
Another thing that I find kind of odd is that there used to be weddings within the family back then, Preethi says: "like my grandma married her mum's younger brother and all!...it's also a part of the tradition!", also they got married real young, around the age of 14-16 (as soon as the girls get their period). Well, that was more a bit of how it all happened back then, in the good old grandma days...today, with all the technology and modernity in the world, things are a bit different.
"Now it happens this way for arranged marriage: we look for boys on the internet, particularly on matrimonial websites such as Matromony.com, Ssmatri.com and others", Preethi shares; all these sites talk about the boys, their horoscope and contact details. "we download the horoscope match and if it does match, we call them, ask their opinions and what kinda of girl they are looking for ,if they're interested as well, we exchange photos online", Preets says. Then, if they both still wanna proceed with the whole thing, the families meet (while, on the other side, mums and dads are also investigating about the family history and background, there are detective agencies that do that, BTW) ; once they're ready to go on with the process, the families meet outside, exchange e-mail id's of the boy and girl, the boy and girls chat first online and if they like each other until then, they move on to phone calls, and if they like each other then, they tell their parents and them together with the families meet formally to fix the marriage. The ceremony is pretty much the same as it was back then as Preethi recalls.
Well, I certainly hope this whole process insight was as interesting for you as it was for me and if you are in the Western side of the world, you should feel lucky you don't have to go through a process as detailed and complicated as the Indians do.

Happy December everyone!!!!!!
Super thrilled!!! The year is almost over, it definitely feels like winter, and well.... the festive season is here. Jingle THE bells*** Instead of the usual red that I so adore, I have been leaning on some white outfits lately. I might be transitioning to a minimalist!! YIKES!
It was a major faux pas to wear white after Labor day. Major! Something that was actually frowned upon. Thank God we don't have to deal with that anymore. Who cares what colors you have on? Haven't we all heard that style is all about you. It is very personal so if you want to wear white the whole year round. Good for you love. Work it, and have tons of Clorox as well.
For my look today, I went with black and white ensemble (again), pieces that I like to think save the day, especially when am undecided on what to wear. White jeans, off-white shirt, printed black and white trench coat, and some black heels. Very simple and can be worn pretty much any where.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Floor Scrubbers of your choice!
April 25, 2010 by publisher · Comments Off on Floor Scrubbers of your choice!
Cleaning equipment has and will always be an important part of any business or home, for where there is dirt there will be a desire for cleanliness and an opportunity to find tools that will help you take care of this problem at the best prices available in the market today.
Known to be efficient and effective at the same time, the variants available for floor scrubbers seem to be a popular choice regardless of whether one is looking for new or old type of equipment. And in getting one of these machines, you'd make the janitor at your organization a happy man.
In addition, there are several websites that offer cleaning equipment either new, old and will fit every job or budget that you have in mind while also offering the best prices which help you save once you are through with your purchase/s.
If you do not want to purchase cleaning equipment, you can opt for the leasing option by which you can purchase a floor scrubber of your choice for only a few dollars a day, which is barely anything these days.
One can also find spare parts and instruction manuals of particular cleaning equipment on several websites as well which will help you repair your machine, and also provide you adequate instructions as to how one can run a machine.
Since there are plenty of options, one should take their time to decide which type of machine will suit their cleaning needs, and then proceed to purchase or lease equipment.
Addiction Treatment – No more lobotomy
April 16, 2010 by publisher · Comments Off on Addiction Treatment – No more lobotomy
Much like practices in medicine have changed their approach to mentally ill patients from lobotomy to methods that are humane and can help the person to a proper recovery by taking them away from their place of living, addiction treatment has also altered their methods to understand why drug addiction as well as other forms of addiction occurs as well.
As most experts validate, addiction is a disease, and even though most people can't seem to understand why it has been classified that way, it has been understood that it is a form of psychological illness that affects the frontal lobe region of the brain and its neurotransmitters.
Most drug rehab centers are located in secluded and serene places so as to support these findings by their methods of therapy, and are finding success in treating drug and alcohol addiction.
Both drug and alcohol addiction can be caused by several reasons such as their life experience, hereditary or even their upbringing, and in engaging these addicts in cognitive and behavioral therapy, the root cause of their addiction is brought to light in order to ensure that a complete recovery from drugs or alcohol is achieved.
Depending on the type of drug or alcohol, each patient is put through an individualized treatment program thus catering to his or her needs right from the time he enters the rehabilitation program to the time he makes his way back into the real world.

WATCH: President Obama isn't the only one who hasn't been 100% clear about the specifics of certain "deals."
After President Obama insisted that the $400 million paid to Iran was not a ransom, a spokesperson for the State Department said it was.
This happened during a press briefing Friday, when State Department spokesperson John Kirby was asked:
"In basic English, you're saying you wouldn't give them $400 million in cash until the prisoners were released, correct?"
"That's correct," he replied.
In short, days of trying to cover up the payment coincidentally made at around the same time Tehran released four American hostages ended in a big reveal by one of his surrogates.
Prior to this, Pres. Obama had scoffed at the idea that the media would even suggest the United States had paid a ransom for the release of hostages.
Families "know we have a policy that we don't pay ransom," said the president. "This wasn't some nefarious deal."
Kirby did try to classify the $400 million as "leverage" and was then asked by a CNN anchor if leverage was not the same thing as "ransom." He insisted it wasn't during the TV interview.
This isn't the first time a president has committed a whopper in front of the American people.
Whooper-skills -- not the Burger Kind kind -- might even be part of the job description.
Here are six other instances in no particular order of savoriness:
1. Reagan's Iran-Contra Affair (1987)
Remember the 1980s, when the Reagan Administration sold arms to Iran -- despite an embargo -- in order to release American hostages?
Well, that wasn't legal. Pres. Reagan denied it at first, but later on, in a briefing to the American people, he admitted:
"Our original initiative rapidly got all tangled up in the sale of arms, and the sale of arms got tangled up with hostages."
2. Bush's 9/11 Warnings (2001)
Months after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, it became clear that the Bush Administration got many warnings beforehand that a terrorist attack using an airplane as a missile was imminent, but in true American fashion, denied it at first.
Several government officials denied they had intelligence warnings that an attack was coming to the United States.
Then National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said at the time: "I don't think anybody could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile."
Turns out a few governmentt officials could have and did.
3. Obama's "Spontaneous" Benghazi (2012)
Then there was Benghazi. When the attacks unfolded on the Libyan city, the Obama Administration insisted they were "spontaneous" and likely caused by an anti-Muslim video.
What happened in Benghazi was in fact, initially, a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired hours before in Cairo.
Pres. Obama's National Security Advisor Susan Rice had this to say in 2012 on NBC's "Meet the Press" when she was questioned about the attacks on the U.S. compounds:
Later on in another "Meet the Press" interview, Rice backtracked.
"That information turned out to be, in some respects, not 100% correct," Rice said.
I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
4. Clinton's Lewinsky Affair (1998)
This is probably as whopper-ific as they get. I'll leave you with two quotes from one American president.
Guess which came first.
Indeed, I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was not appropriate.
The flight that cost them their lives was a volunteer flight.
5. Kennedy's Bay of Pigs (1963)
There was also that one time Pres. John F. Kennedy staged a failed overthrow of Fidel Castro. Of course, he blamed it on the Cubans first.
6. Nixon's Watergate Scandals (1973)
Perhaps the most whopper of the whoppers goes to Nixon, who had a few.
After repeatedly denying wire-tapping the DNC headquarters and multiple other people, Nixon finally came clean.
"People have got to know whether or not their president's a crook," Nixon said during his resignation speech.
I am not a crook.
Ahh, what a rich American tradition. We can only place our bets on what kind of whopper the next president of the United States will serve its people.

text: Yes, I am well aware that Jobs is on the record as to Apple's PDA aspirations. But I think the time has come to enter that market and completely obliterate the competition. 1. VALUE/PRICE FOR PDAs SUCKS RIGHT NOW. When I go to CompUSA and look at the PDA offerings, I am UNDERWHELMED by what you are getting for the price. $500-600 to get a glitsy color screen, a frogs-hair more memory, and almost ZERO additional functionality compared to a bargain-bin entry-level Palm. These are the Timex Sinclairs of our generation, IMHO. Apple's design boys could CRUSH what's out there now... 2. THE ENGINE OF INNOVATION--ENTERPRISE. PDAs are business tools. What makes for more productive business and greater volumes of commerce? I'll give you a hint--it has nothing whatsoever to do with having your freakin' schedule and phone numbers on a pocket calculator. A small paper-based day planner can do that for 1/10th the price (and no batteries). Nor does it have anything to do with listening to mp3s, playing solitaire, or viewing grainy pixeled pictures of your kids while supposedly "at work." The real prize here can be summed up in one word: REALTIME. If you are meeting a client in a corporate setting and he/she wants to place an order, you should be able to flip open your PDA, have a secure connection to your company's inventory system, allocate the order and confirm that all items are in stock, assign a PO#, and have the client sign the purchase order on the spot. Boom. Done. Transaction complete. No follow-up calls and faxes, amended orders, bad back-order status news. No reporting back to the home office on your completed and pending orders for the day--they have them realtime. On to the next client. Oh, and your contact management system, with every detail of your company's 100,000 clients and all their past orders? That is online as well (not stuck in your PDA as a ridiculously huge file in constant need of updating). Bottom line: you could have a low-res B&W screen, a 12mhz processor and a whopping 8MB of RAM and still have a ridiculously powerful system in your hands if it were dynamically connected to your company's home server. Behold the PDA megahertz/color screen/RAM "myth." Sure, those things make them technically "better," but better at WHAT? Dazzling people in the store? Eliciting the "coolness" vibe when whipped out in front of clients? SHOW ME THE MONEY, BABY! 3. THE ANSWER--PDA/CELL COMBO DONE RIGHT. I owned one of those Sprint-branded Kyocera Smartphones, which was a mediocre phone and a less-than-mediocre PDA--but even I could see it's potential as a sales/ordering/CRM powerhouse if the right OS and applications were running the thing. 4. THE MARKET IS READY. Everyone has commented that Palm, Sony, Visor, et al have clogged the market. True. They have clogged it with misdirected products. And their hold is VERY tenuous, considering that companies tend to refresh their PDA systems EVERY 24 MONTHS and are always searching for maximum functionality for the buck. 5. WHAT WE DON'T NEED IN A PDA. iTunes. Movie playing. Lame jerky video conferencing. Any other stupid add-on gadget or processor-hogging feature that does not make the user immediately more productive. Save the consumer-targeted funky add-on cutesy gismos for the iPod. The Apple branded PDA/phone combo, coupled with well-developed CRM/Ordering/Inventory software, a better OS, Inkwell, fantastic range and acceptable wireless data IO speeds would be a productivity tool the business world would JUMP on. SOMEONE is going to get fantastically rich making this kind of product. I hope it will be Apple, because then I'll know the system will be designed with elegance, style, user friendliness, and top-of-the-line hardware/software/OS integration.

An Anzac Day poppy will be laid atop an American mountain in honour of Australian soldier Captain Paul McKay.
The 31-year old South Australian was found dead near the summit of Scarface Mountain in New York State in January.
A coroner ruled the death was suicide and said Capt McKay died from hypothermia.
He was suffering post-traumatic stress disorder after a tour of Afghanistan and was on leave from the Australian army.
A small group of villagers from nearby Saranac Lake will climb Scarface Mountain on Friday to lay the poppy at the request of Captain McKay's friends.
"It is our hope that his memory will raise awareness of post-traumatic stress," local mayor Clyde Rabideau said.
Later on Anzac Day, Saranac Lake will host a public remembrance service, addressed by a US congressman and retired US Army brigadier, who will discuss post-traumatic stress disorder and its links to the military.
An Australian military attache will attend the service and recite the Ode of Remembrance.

This could be a useful for Product Development. Serious Eats has started a thread about which words should never be used to describe food. Top offenders include "moist," "sexy," "unctuous," and "crusty."
Looks like Kellogg's, Smuckers, General Mills, and Hersey's are going to have a good year.
A food issue close to my heart: food date labels. The Natural Resources Defense Council and the Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic teamed up and wrote a report about the ridiculousness of words such as "best by," "use before," and "enjoy by." It's a long read, but you can learn how these labels contribute to food waste which is a bigger issue than most people realize.
Some science-y GIFs that will make you want to buy a bunch of chemicals. I personally love the ferrofluid.

From Scratch: Inside the Food Network is a recently-published book that covers the recipe behind the Food Network. While it doesn't contain a ton of dirty little secrets, the book covers how they went from a tiny start-up to one of the most influential businesses in America. Okay, maybe a few dirty little secrets, like how 9/11 gave them a huge popularity boost...

In preparations for Easter we painted eggs. Yes painted, not dyed. I've yet to see a white egg in Australia and brown eggs wouldn't really dye very well. So what Felicity does with her kids is to use styrofoam eggs and toll paint to carry out this tradition.
Easter Sunday (also my Birthday :) :) :) ) we had a picnic and then sent the kiddies inside so the Easter Bunny could come.
I have such a soft spot in my heart for this mischievous little boy. Dr. Evil meets Easter eggs. :) Also here's sweet Jazzy showing us some of her candy.
I love this picture of Felicity taking a picture of Jaren, and then some of the shots she got of him that day. I've trained him well to sit and smile at the camera as you can see. Bless her heart for taking so many photos for us! :)
I thought I'd include this picture to capture the cute little birthmark on Jaren. I think it looks like he got kissed by an angel before being sent down to me. :) And a cute little series of shots of Jaren discovering a baby chicken in an Easter egg, trying to eat it, throwing it down and settling on the egg itself. :)

L. J. Faia, Z. Li, P. Becerra, J. Amaral, B. Liu, R. Nussenblatt; The Effects of Pigment Epithelial Derived Factor on Murine Macrophages. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2009;50(13):4283.
Download citation file:
© ARVO (1962-2015); The Authors (2016-present)
Purpose: :
To assess the effects of pigment epithelial derived factor (PEDF) on murine macrophages, specifically on nitric oxide (nitrate) and cytokine production upon activation.
Methods: :
RAW 264.7 macrophages were maintained in phenol-free DMEM with 10% FBS. The cells were re-plated in 96-well plates at a concentration of 3.3 x 106 cells per well and stimulated with or without 1) LPS and/or 2) IFNγ in the absence or presence of PEDF (500ng/ml). All stimulation was done in duplicates. After 24 hours of stimulation, the supernatants were harvested, pooled and divided into 2 parts. Half the supernatant was assessed for nitrate production by a Nitric Oxide Assay Kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL) and the other half for cytokine analysis (IL-1b, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, TNF and SDF-1b).
Results: :
Both LPS and IFNγ increased nitrate production, while PEDF alone had minimum effect. Interestingly, PEDF suppressed IFNγ-induced NO production but had minimum effect on that by LPS (INFγ alone 35.8µM, INFγ +PEDF 19.2µM, LPS alone 25.3µM , LPS+PEDF 23.1µM). In addition, there was no synergistic effect of LPS+IFNγ in inducing NO production. PEDF had no effect when macrophages were stimulated with both LPS and IFNγ. For IL-10 production, IFNγ showed some effect on increasing its production (31%), but in the presence of PEDF, the induction of IL-10 by IFNγ increased dramatically, by almost 200%. Meanwhile, PEDF had a very minimal effect on induction of TNF by IFNγ. In addition, IFNγ completely abrogated SDF-1b production by macrophages but PEDF reversed this effect of IFNγ.
Conclusions: :
Our data suggested that PEDF may be an important factor in modulating inflammation by promoting anti-inflammatory macrophages through the increase of IL-10 and the decrease in NO production. The finding that PEDF completely reversed SDF-1b production abrogated by IFNγ is of particular interest. Whether a direct effect on IFNγ signaling or indirectly by PEDF, this finding is worthy of further investigation.

Peaceful protester
Arrested by the Syrian authorities, on 14 May 2011, in al-Marah
His fate and whereabouts remain unknown
Anas al-Shoghary is an economics student at Teshreen University in Latakia. He had been organizing peaceful protests in his hometown, Baniyas, and he gave numerous interviews to the international media.
Military Intelligence agents arrested him on 14 May 2011 in the city of al-Marah in the Tartous Governorate. Since the arrest, the government has not given Anas' family any information on his whereabouts, despite repeated inquiries by his family. According to former detainees, he was initially held at the Military Intelligence Branch in Tartous; then he was seen at the Military Intelligence Palestine Branch in Damascus.
Political Security agents also detained Anas al-Shoghary's younger brother Salah on 4 August 2012 for unknown reasons.
