TAYLORVILLE, Illinois (CNN) — The National Weather Service says 27 tornadoes touched down in central Illinois, damaging dozens of structures and injuring at least 20 people.
This set the record for December tornado outbreaks. The previous record came from a storm in 1957, when 21 tornadoes were confirmed.
One of the towns hardest hit was Taylorville, about 25 miles southeast of Springfield. Storm winds wrecked houses, downed power lines and pulled trees up by the roots.
"It's a miracle no one was killed in the tragedy of these tornadoes," said Gov. Bruce Rauner, who toured the area on Sunday.
At least three people are being treated for major injuries at Memorial Hospital in Springfield and 18 more suffered minor injuries, Rauner said. The governor activated Illinois' State of Emergency Operations Center.
Rescuers pulled people from homes damaged by the twisters, Taylorville Fire Department Chief Mike Crews said. Otherwise, no deaths have been reported.
Illinois has an average of 47 tornadoes a year, not including December, which doesn't have an average, said CNN Meteorologist Allison Chinchar, speaking of the rarity of Saturday's twister cluster. May is the peak month, with an average of 15 tornadoes.
"Almost everything set up for the perfect conditions" for the outbreak, Chinchar said, as a strong cold front pushed through.
In Butler, south of Springfield, Hannah Fogle tweeted two videos of a funnel cloud.
A tornado mainly went through the countryside, she said. "I know of one house that had major damage," she added.
The National Weather Service sent out survey teams Sunday to analyze the damage, and said the exact number of tornadoes and the amount of damage wouldn't be determined until these are completed.
More than 2,000 people remained without power in Taylorville, according to Illinois electric and gas delivery company Ameren and CTI Fiber Network.
Gov. Bruce Rauner activated the State Emergency Operations Center in response to the storms. Several agencies report to the operations center, including the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, Department of Public Health and the American Red Cross.

There is no doubting that the show was a huge success for London Stone as usual, and that the company enjoyed themselves. A spokesperson and representative from London Stone was incredibly keen to comment saying, "We had a truly delightful time at the 2017 Landscape Show, not only does this show allow for us to showcase out products and ideas but also allows us to connect with others in the industry which is always a bonus."

The HeiDetect InlineCT is a fully automated and flexible system for X-ray and computer tomography (CT) tasks for the non-destructive test and inspection of a wide range of different workpieces.
The HeiDetect InlineCT allows the reference-free parametrisable evaluation of X-ray images. An X-ray source emits X-ray radiation that penetrates objects. This radiation is lessened depending on the material of the test specimen and its structure. A detector, which is positioned opposite the X-ray source, uses the residual radiation in order to create a shadow image of the test specimen. The various grey shades of the shadow images represent the differences of the test specimen's structure.
The PIDA or Volex6 evaluation software uses the created 2D X-ray images to generate a 3D model of the object. This way, it is possible to view the object to be inspected from all possible angles and to detect errors of the specimen or to qualify the specimen.
The small footprint and full encasing of the unit allow the full integration of the test process into the manufacturing or production process. Flexibility is ensured by adapting the goods or workpiece support. A fully automated rotation with up to 12 workpiece supports, which are fitted to the system, is possible. As a result, the system is available both as an isolated solution or an inline solution. Its integration into all common conveyor systems is easily possible. Naturally, additional functions and customer requests can be easily integrated or accommodated.
The detector by Perkin Elmer is characterised by its high light sensitivity. This is beneficial for the imaging accuracy of the object that is to be tested. The generously dimensioned detector area allows the transport of objectswith dimensions up to 40 x 40 x 40 cm.
The in-built high performance tube allows short exposure times and thereby a short cycle time for the test objects. As a result, for example, 600 images can be created within 45 seconds.

Hello all,we are using ActiveMQ 5.15.6 in our application. The application is built on top of OSGi and uses ActiveMQ as an embedded Broker within the container. The container establishes a single intraVM connection to the broker, messages are being sent and consumed in several sessions reusing the same connection. External clients may establish connections via SSL to send or consume messages.
Essentially, each of our containers serves as a self-contained message router taking dispatching
dispatching messages from one technology to another.The core of our ActiveMQ listener is implemented as an Akka Stream Source, which tries to consume
messages regularly using a receiveNoWait.I have now seen in our integration tests, that in ~one of 100 runs the integration test fails. According to the log files the consumer polls for messages, but none are delivered even if a message is available in
the destination.Is receiveNoWait() the proper mechanism to consume messages in a polling fashion ? Should I use receive(timeout) instead ? If so, what would be a reasonable value for the timeout ?
In this particular use case we do not want to use an event driven consumer as the stream source has to wait until the message is processed, so that we can explicitly acknowledge the received message
using msg.acknowledge().Any hints how I could debug this issue further would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards Andreas

Panel 2: Note that this is a much better shot of Ninjette in dire peril—or "laid low," as the damsel in distress (DiD) euphemism puts it—than we ever saw in the original scene from Empowered vol. 3. (Her waist is a tad too slender, but who cares?)
Note also, at lower right, the default form of silhouetted leaves I tend to draw. As mentioned earlier, these look more or less like the leaves of a beech tree, though I have no idea if those exist on the West Coast—nor do I intend to ever bother checking if they do. Worst case, if beech trees aren't geographically accurate, then consider this just another peculiarity of Emp's very, very odd city.
Panel 4: While this looks like the same scene we saw near the end of Empowered vol. 3, note that the vaporized Ayakami-clan shinobi didn't call her "Kozue-chan" during that scene, though one of them did so earlier, albeit in untranslated Japanese. So what's up, here? You'll find out in the next few days, never fear.

Luke Mossey is looking to build on his opening weekend success when he races at Brands Hatch on 15 – 17 April in the second race of the championship.
Mossey had a fantastic start to his season, finishing the races in second and fifth respectively, which was enough to see him second on the championship leaderboard.
After reflecting on the racing at round one, Mossey said: "Our opening weekend was perfect and it feels great to have got the first race of the season out of the way.
"We did everything right from the start and got the set-up of the bike perfect, which showed as we were on the pace throughout."
The next race of the BSB season will take place on the shorter Indy Circuit at Brands Hatch, Mossey's local track, and he'll be hoping to take advantage of his knowledge of the circuit.
"I'm really looking forward to going back to Brands, it's my home track and we were on pole position there last season.
"We'll be setting the bike up the same as at Donington Park and hoping for more success," said Mossey.
Mossey's JG Speedfit Kawasaki team had a fine start to the BSB season by securing a one-two in the Championship, with Mossey's teammate Leon Haslam taking top spot.
"The team was really pleased with our performances and being first and second on the championship standings. It was Leon's local track and he rode well," said Mossey.
Concentration for Mossey is now firmly set on Brands Hatch, with his aim to continue on from where he left off.

The race and the riders
All the VeloVoices gathered on Monday to give our verdict on the 68th Vuelta a Espana. It may be the last of the year's grand tours but it was in no way the least, and that's saying something given how spectacular both the Giro and the Tour were. In the first part of this round-table we focus on the race and the riders, while in part two tomorrow we address some of the broader talking points from the race.

With the PlayStation 4 faraway the market leader this generation, there's definitely been a shift in the core gamers' perception of the platform. Sony, in its defence, has continued doing what it's been doing all generation: cultivating an outstanding library of first and third-party games. But with competitors placing an emphasis on features like backwards compatibility and current hot-button topic cross-play, it's having to manage something of a backlash for the first time in half a decade.
Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, accepting an award at the Develop conference in Brighton this week, regaled tales of his career at PlayStation dating all the way back to 1993. And he shared one small nugget about the PS4 which suggests the organisation is aware of the current climate. "People make mistakes," he admitted. "I don't know why. We're all human – we're not perfect. PS4 is doing so well, but we don't forget why we're here now."
We're approaching a pivotal period for PlayStation, as work is reportedly now well underway on the PlayStation 5, and the firm's going to have to manage the transition from its current format to the new one. The good news is that Sony's first-party is stronger than it's ever been, and we'd be shocked if teams like Guerrilla Games weren't already hard at work on titles like Horizon: Zero Dawn 2 to help sell the new hardware. It's going to be an exciting couple of years.

Pedal Power 46
September 2003
Cycle Industry Fund to support promotion of cycling
The Bicycle Association and the Association of Cycle Traders have jointly announced the re-launch of a levy on bicycle sales, to be used to support projects that encourage cycle use. The Cycle Industry Fund is expected to raise around £350,000 a year, and one beneficiary will be National Bike Week, which in future is expected to be supported jointly by the Fund and the Department for Transport (DfT).
Getting the cycle industry to work together to launch the Cycle Industry Fund has been largely due to the efforts of Phillip Darnton, former Chairman of Raleigh UK and now president of the Bicycle Association. He told Bicycle Business that the industry has "recognised that it must take action now if there is to be a flourishing demand for cycling in the future". "The industry has been dogged by falling prices and margins, and hence very low profitability as well as by a series of marketplace setbacks over the last three years, even since the foot and mouth outbreak".
A similar scheme was put in place in 1997 by the Bicycle Association, which raised £1m over 3 years to support the development of the National Cycle Network. The bicycle levy received only partial support from bike companies, with some of the biggest names not participating. The new scheme, which is to be launched on 1st October, looks set to have much wider support. So far, only Halfords has declined to be involved.
Phillip Darnton is particularly keen to use the money to support a new generation of young cyclists, on whom the future of cycling crucially depends. He points out that the UK now has the highest percentage of obese 10 year olds in Europe, something that more cycling could do much to address. ..

Some Thoughts on the Epinal Way Extension and Cycling.
Like it or not the EWE extension is here. It may please some and make life easier for others but it has probably created as many problems as it has solved, not least for cyclists. Many of us now have a more direct (and probably safer) route to and from Quorn, either on the shared cycle path or on the road (the 1m strip down the side of the road is not a cycle lane; it is to discourage heavy lorries from driving close to the edge, and breaking it up!).
Traffic flows have changed. There is a lot more traffic and earlier, especially in the morning. I have no difficulty beating cars from Park Road to Ashby Road roundabouts (on the substandard cycle path), even at 8.15 (not school run traffic, the usual cause of Loughborough's congestion). Park Road is much busier, presumably with people rat-running to the new road (from the M1 via the improved Snell's Nook Road?) and avoiding the busy stretch. The dreaded 'traffic-calming' (a euphemism for speed bumps) may yet happen to this stretch of road. Even the 'calmed' Beacon Road seems busier. The narrowed sections of road, and erratically driven cars negotiating the obstacles provide more hazards for two-wheelers.
They said it couldn't be done, they would have to loose a lane, but a Pelican was installed by MacDonalds. A triumph of people power (and political will) over blinkered design. The short stretch of 30mph (for what it is worth) is a significant partial victory. (The 40mph dual carriage way is faster than the single carriage way derestricted!)
I had a long discussion and exchanged correspondence with one of the engineers last year when I raised a number of concerns over the design, particularly of cycle facilities and I followed that up with a phone call to the Highways department.
I was assured that street furniture would be sited to maximise space for pedestrians and cyclists. While it is better than most there are a lot of intrusive posts around the Toucans, particularly the one on the Epinal way arm (by the car wash). I have not yet encountered a cyclist waiting to cross here (not that there is any cycle path to cross to!), but there is insufficient space to pass. The two arms outside of the car parking by the shops are 'cycle only' and lead to the official cycle crossing of Park Road - a pedal for you life across three lanes. If you then try to turn up Park Road towards Tesco beware of cars cutting the wrong way through the gap between the traffic islands. The 'elephant's feet' marking the cycle crossing will be added along with the missing markings and 'edge-line' soon. I was told by a county engineer recently that this area around the roundabout is not yet finished and all the markings for the cycle path will be added when the surfaces are completed. The missing cycle racks that used to be here have not returned, nor is there space for them. The pedestrian crossing is only a narrow and dog-legged Pelican because the County was too mean to buy a small strip of land to put a proper Toucan in. The cycle path in front of the Ling Road shops seems like a poorly thought out compromise with its narrow 'car-door' strip and cluttered pavement.
I have tried to use the roundabout but that too has its own special hazards. The lanes are badly lined up so many cars cut corners and swap lanes. The 'spiral' lanes provided on other roundabouts is far better. (It is just as bad in a car; I have tried it.) The official response was 'we'll see how things have settled down in six months'. Presumably there will have been sufficient accidents by then.
The EWE is better than it could have been, but is not really 'cycle-friendly'. Pedestrians may be benefiting but there has been no thought to use the opportunities to improve public transport. At the end of the day all it has done is move the traffic holdups around Loughborough.Tim Birkinshaw
Radio Saga
Back in July I had an unexpected phone call from one Steve Merrick, a DJ on Saga 106.6FM, who had discovered the Campaign via our website and wanted to interview somebody about it on his programme. I agreed to do this. Careful preparation paid off, as Mr Merrick asked if I were a professional PR person! I managed to cover the ground (our reasons for existence) in a shallow but comprehensive way and deftly fielded the one hostile question (about cyclists being yobs who ride on pavements and through red lights). That bugbear of cycle advocates, safety, was never mentioned and helmets stayed deep in the drawer. There has been no feedback whatsoever, but if anybody at all listens to Saga FM (and I have my doubts!) general awareness of the issues will have been raised in a positive way. The episode has certainly shown us another benefit of being on the Web.
Sorry Saga
If you use Park Road or Beacon Road you will be familiar with the speed cushions now being installed. I objected at every stage to these obstacles on the grounds of the difficulty they cause to tricycles. But my objections were doomed to failure due to a course of events that I have seen many times before.
Council officers prepared a draft scheme. They assured everybody this was for consultation purposes only, but in reality they had already invested so much time and effort in it that its status was less suggestion, more high-inertia default.
Public consultation drew broad support from local residents. The vast majority of people do not have the time or the inclination to become anoraks on traffic calming features. They just know that they are bothered by excessive traffic speeds and volumes and will buy into anything that promises to 'get rid of it' even as they jump into their own cars every time they want to go out.
Formal objections to the scheme go to a Traffic Regulation Order Committee of Councillors; until recently at Borough level, now at County. Many Councillors take the view that their role is to think 'strategically' and the detail should be left to officers. They overlook the fact that the devil is often in the detail. They want to avoid the hassle and delay of having the scheme redesigned. The only thing that can change things now is if a sufficiently powerful councillor decides things should be changed. Only a few members of any given council have this power and it is the luck of the draw whether any of them care (typically rather low odds). The objector can use careful reason or appeal to compassion (I have done both) but it can be ignored by those who have the power to do so, who will then instruct the officers to prepare a statement justifying the status quo. The arguments on paper may be as leaky as a sieve (and they are - officers appear confused about the purpose of the scheme, apart, of course, from spending the money which their colleagues in the planning department cleverly squeezed out of the developers) but that is not important because the objectors have no further power to challenge them.
Fortunately for me, I no longer have to make four-times-daily escort journeys along Beacon Road, but on occasional trips so far I have found the situation even worse than feared: on a trike you just do not know which way to go, although with familiarity I suspect the optimal path will be identified. With any cycle there is the requirement for frequent changes of course, speed, or both, which for the human engine results in tiredness and dissatisfaction with the journey. As the biggest selling point of cycling is that it makes you feel good, traffic calming schemes which are not designed to allow all pedal powered road users to maintain speed and course through the obstructions are bad news for cycle advocacy.
Authorities may try to convince us as cycle advocates that traffic calming is good for cycling because it reduces motor vehicle speeds and sometimes volumes (although displaced traffic in the absence of any genuine reduction strategies will be found causing the same problems on another route). But we need to remember the inviolable physics and physiology of the case and stand firm. The only real solutions to speed are law enforcement and in-car technology and the only real solution to volume is reduced motor vehicle use, however achieved. (They're doing OK in London!)
These, however, will be longer term developments and the proliferation of speed cushions (I think they are the cheapest traffic calming feature currently available as they are pre-cast in a factory, which enhances their attractiveness alongside the preference of the emergency services for them) I consider to be the most serious current threat to cycle freight and 'all-ability' cycling, which as we know are crucial to the evolution of a truly sustainable and socially inclusive society. In the shorter term I think the best approach may be to campaign for more restrictive conditions under which they may be used and I shall be putting some effort into this now Isobel is starting school.
Sad summer saga
I was deeply disappointed by the turnout for the July Invitation Ride: the four members of my own family plus two predictable loyal stalwarts. This event has the potential to be an important part of our grass roots work, and the grass roots work has to become a more important part of our campaigning now that the politicians are going backwards. The school holiday should not have been too much of a problem overall (although our Secretary sent his apologies because of this) because it was not particularly an event aimed at young families and many child-free people take pains to avoid going away at this time. Let's try to do better next year. The date will be Monday 12th July so write it in that tiny space in the back of your diary now, please, and I look forward to seeing you and your guests next summer.
But if that was bad, the pub social was worse! John and I can share ideas and experiences and have a laugh together at home most evenings - it would be nice to have some extra company on these occasions. Looking forward to seeing you at Christmas......(Monday 8th December)
Risk in cycling falls
A Dutch analysis shows that cycling has become safer in recent years, even though car use has increased. Between 1980 and 2001 cyclist fatalities fell by 55% relative to use, a little more than the 48% fall for car drivers.
Risk in using different modes depends primarily upon a person's age. Between 18 and 29, more car drivers are killed per distance travelled than cyclists, whilst elderly people are more at risk cycling. -

Book now for Autumn Conference
This year's Autumn CCN/CTC Cycle Planning Conference is being hosted by Pedal Pushers, the Sheffield cycle campaign. It will take place on Saturday 18th October at the Earth Centre in Conisbrough, which is 10 miles NE of Sheffield and 5 miles SW of Doncaster. Conisbrough station is adjacent to the venue. Speakers include NCS Board member Dr Alison Hill. Cost of the conference is £18, including an organic food lunch. A booking form may be downloaded from the CCN web site www.cyclenetwork.org.uk, or contact Cherry Allan at CTC (01483 520735).
Conservative transport policy
The Conservative Party has revamped its transport policies, and Iain Duncan Smith Leader of the Opposition, signalled that a new Conservative Government would scrap Labour's strategy of penalising the motorist. Calling for fair treatment to passengers, motorists and taxpayers, Tim Collins MP Shadow DfT minister stated "There will be an absolute commitment from the Conservatives to provide a Government who will be on the side of the motorist". He announced a series of changes including a comprehensive review of speed limits leading to 80 mph maximum on motorways and lower levels in villages, use of fewer speed cameras by removing those that are revenue-raising and focusing on road black spots, and increasing the usage of intelligent traffic policing.
It will be an offence to use a hand-held mobile phone while driving from 1st December 2003. The Conservative's press release asks "Why are cyclists explicitly permitted to use hand held mobile phones when motorcyclists and motorists are not? (22/07/03 Conservative News Story).
Road casualties down in 2002
There were 3% fewer road casualties in 2002 compared to 2001. The number of cyclists seriously injured in 2002 fell by 9% to 2,320, and the number of cyclists killed fell by 6% to 130. Total cycle casualties fell by 11% in 2002 to 17,107. This fall is encouraging, and as recent DfT cycle figures show cycle usage as rising during the same time span. More comprehensive analysis of casualty figures will be published later in this year. (26/06/03 DfT press release).
Traffic levels rise
Traffic levels rose by 2.6% from 2001 to 2002, with rural traffic growing faster than that on urban roads. See www.dft.gov.uk/transtat . Road traffic statistics for Q2 2003, also indicated traffic volume increases of 1% compared to the same period of 2002. This follows similar growth in the first quarter resulting in traffic growth of 1.2% for the first six months of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. Traffic on minor rural and major urban roads went down by 2.8% & 0.5% respectively compared to the same quarter in 2002, but increases of 3.1% and 3.2% were seen on major rural and minor urban roads. (31/07/03 & 07/08/03 DfT press releases).
Prime Minister's Questions
Asked about the resources and powers of the police and LAs to overcome antisocial behaviour, the Prime Minister replied that "talking to police officers shows that they believe that the combination of powers to close down crack houses and take action against juveniles in respect of airguns, spray paints and bicycles, and the ability to use FPNs without the whole hassle of having to go to court, will make a significant difference to our local communities". Are bicycles that much of a problem? (02/07/03 HofC 383).
Danger - Cyclists with "Big Macs"
A pensioner was turned away from a Norwich McDonald's drive-thru because he arrived on a bike, despite the fact that an off-road cycle path runs right through the premises. His order was refused as a matter of policy because, as a spokesman said, '"Our primary concern is for the safety and welfare of customers. The thought of people riding bikes with a drink in one hand and a meal in the other should explain why it may not be safe. We do have a sit-down restaurant cyclists are welcome to use, but the drive-thru is only for cars." It was not explained why car drivers are considered safe driving off with a drink in one hand and meal in the other. From CCN News
Cycle Helmets Update
A new international web site, www.cyclehelmets.org, has been launched to provide access to a wide range of information about helmets that is not commonly available. Site content is expected to expand over the coming months.
In Alberta, Canada, figures from nine health regions show a sharp increase in head injuries in the 6 months following the introduction of a mandatory helmet law for under 18s. From 1999 to 2001, the proportion of head injuries among all bicycle-related injuries treated by hospital A&E departments remained relatively constant at just above 5%. The helmet law took effect in May 2002 and by October of that year the proportion of children suffering head injuries had risen to over 10%. Canadian Injury prevention specialists have urged caution in interpreting the statistics, but admit that the results are disturbing. Alberta transportation spokesman Leanne Stangeland said that he hoped that the law had not increased risk-taking behaviour. "Our legislation was put in place to keep kids safe, not so they take more risks," he said. ..

4. Elements of marriage
1. Unit
The essential elements of the marriage are three: the unit, the indissolubility and the fertility. Human beings can freely decide to marry or not, but it is not in their hands change the meaning of marriage.
The first two elements are expressed with a short and graphic phrase: "forever together."
Marriage is the decision of a man and woman who live for each other, helping mutually with all that they are and have. Therefore, the spouses "are no longer two, but one flesh" (Matthew 19, 6).
A man or a woman may only love partially to another person who is not her wife or his husband. True love is absolute and is not shared.
The loyalty and faithfulness to the other is possible for all life, but difficulties can arise especially for those who do not have the supernatural help of the sacrament. The priest says at the wedding: "Christ gives you strength to be faithful to each other and have the responsibilities of marriage together."

In February 2014, LinkedIn began allowing all of us mere mortals to write articles on their publishing platform. Now, on a weekly basis, LinkedIn members are publishing an average of 40,000 posts. Wow! So, as we like to do, we've been experimenting with it the last few months (here's a sample) and have been quite surprised at the results. Here's what we learned and how you can benefit from posting your own articles on LinkedIn.
First things first
Publishing on LinkedIn is a bit like writing a blog on your own website or an article for a magazine. It's typically longer form (more than a simple status post) and usually includes insight, opinion, facts, inspiration or generally whatever you feel like writing about.
What's on your mind?
We found that creative and inspirational articles tend to perform best. But, the sky's the limit. Think about what you want to share and start writing.
By the way, if you have a blog on your website, that's a great place to start. In fact, my 50 years from now article came directly from the Forge3 blog. I wrote it a while ago and simply copied and pasted it into LinkedIn. It took 60 seconds.
See what happens
Given LinkedIn's massive reach in the business world, your article now has a chance of getting in front of people that you otherwise couldn't. That's the fun part. After you publish your article you'll begin seeing the stats roll in.
Join the conversation
See who "likes" and comments on your article and engage with them. You can reply back in the comments (like I did below), connect with them formally on LinkedIn or otherwise just admire the impact you're having on other people!
Reaching out and taking names
What's impressed me the most about publishing on LinkedIn is the reach that we now have.
I spent 60 seconds reposting my 50 years from now article from the Forge3 blog. Now, it has new life on LinkedIn and I continue to see the stats increase on LinkedIn and on the Forge3 website (I included a small link at the end of the article linking to our website).
We often say that social media is about being "visible" and "viable" to your target audience. When you publish on LinkedIn, that's exactly what you're doing.
If you want to see what my article looks like on LinkedIn, here's the link:
Have you tried it yet? If so, I'd love to hear what you think below.

Purpose, Potential, Passion – and Prayer!
A Facebook friend recently posted a link to this video on his wall, asking for comments:
Available to watch directly on Youtube here
I watched it, and I found it to be quite thought-provoking. I definitely agree with Pastor Driscoll's message in this video; that as Christians we are to pursue not what we might demonstrate potential for, but rather what God has called us to (or our individual specific "purpose"). Overnight I spent a lot of time thinking about the practical ramifications of this.
Watching it, I experienced a little familiar discomfort, that as a Christian I might be pursuing not what my true purpose is, but rather what I have demonstrated potential for. So could this article I'm writing here be in some way an attempt to justify myself and convince myself to carry on going as previously?!
Firstly, if you can, please watch the video. I think it is particularly useful that Pastor Driscoll differentiates between "good" Christian ministry – genuinely good, genuinely holy, – and what someone's true calling might be.
Secular potential versus Spiritual Calling?
This was a point that I initially made on Facebook (copied and pasted from there!)
I think that God might give us some gifts or skills that might combine to form some apparent potential in one area, while He would prefer us to use that combination of gifts in another way. For instance, someone might be blessed with physical strength and dexterity which might appear to show that they have potential as a professional athlete, while God might want them to use their strength to work as a missionary in places where physical strength are required.
I have nothing against secular potential. However, if we know that God's will is for people to come to a saving knowledge of Christ, then arguably, our expression of our secular potential (at least in this example) does nothing to further this. So you are a Premiership footballer? That's great but how does it actually impact on winning souls for God?
On the other hand, if this is what God has actually specifically called you to do, then please do it!
Going deeper, however, it can be easy to simply contrast between secular work, or non faith-based work, and Christian ministry, with the idea that something with a Christian flavour is our calling. However Pastor Mark makes the point that there may be a specific area within Christian ministry that is more truly our calling than other aspects of Christian ministry that we might (equally?) demonstrate potential for.
And yet, while I believe that all this is true, going beyond this, I believe that there might still be a legitimate place for personal initiative and creativity – and even stumbling and confusion – in deciding/working out our true God-given purpose.
Pastor Mark uses the example of Jesus who was specifically called as a preaching missionary. I think that most Christians would agree that Jesus had a very very specific purpose – and necessarily so. Not just anyone could go to the Cross and die for the sins of humanity, after all. This is the reason why I don't particularly think that Jesus is a good example to consider in the purpose question. Perhaps for the rest of us our purpose does not have to be as sharply defined as it was with Jesus – simply because it does not need to be.
Jesus also happens to be God. There are a few things that are true of Jesus which will never be true of anyone else – and there are a few other things which could only become true of us after lots of prayer, time immersed in intimacy with God. And while Jesus might have attained these latter things perfectly, we can only ever hope to have an imperfect grip on them while we remain down here on earth. Jesus as a man was perfect. He heard perfectly from God, without any sinful nature to get in the way. So Jesus could definitively say "This is why I have been sent". Can the rest of us always categorically state that "This is what God has said", on any issue? I accept that for some people on some issues, like Pastor Driscoll, God might make His voice and His will utterly clear and indisputable. But for many other people, He might reveal His will in less distinct ways. This is part of the mystery and beauty of God – if we think we have free will, then how much more does He have free will! And He uses it to do exactly what He likes, He relates with people differently, He speaks directly to some people, indirectly to others.
Part of growing as a Christian is learning to distinguish this voice of God, the way He speaks to us.
A place for confusion?
Sometimes speaking to Christians, you get the impression that if you are "in the will of God", then everything will happen smoothly, whereas roadblocks or obstacles indicate that you are "out of the will of God". This is my favourite analogy as follows: It might be "God's will" that you should drive a car, but that doesn't mean that you would just be able to get into a car and perfectly pull off, conducting perfect manoeuvres straight away. You still have to go through the process of actually learning to drive, making mistakes, forgetting to pull up the handbrake, or to check your mirror. And yet, in that process of learning, making mistakes and facing obstacles, you can still consider yourself to be comfortably within the will of God. So also I believe that when as Christians we are trying to make our way in God, in growing in Him, even when things get messy and confusing, as they usually do, we can still be confident that we are generally in the will of God.
A place for passion?
I believe that if God has made it very clear to you what your calling is or should be, then of course you should go out and pursue that. I also agree with Pastor Mark that you should spend serious time in prayer to find what this will could be. But if, after that, you still have not received any distinct words from Heaven, then I believe that it is legitimate to follow our passions – even our potentials within the boundaries of God's word, the Bible. I believe it is good and right to spend time thinking (and praying) and also planning, considering – the best and most creative way to use our skills, our passions, our potentials to fulfill the will of God. It is like this – God has already abundantly revealed His will for us, contained in the Bible. We know that God wants people everywhere to come to the saving knowledge of Christ. We know that that is His will. We know that God wants the Gospel to be preached to all people. We know that that is His will. If we can find a way of expressing our passions and our potentials within that where God has not individually given us anything more specific, then I say let's throw ourselves into that! I think that even within that broadly defined will God is capable of directing us as He wishes, if we have started wrongly. Or, to put it another way, God might speak to some of us and "call us" through our passions and potentials, even as He chooses to speak audibly to some others. This is Tosin being pragmatic, to prevent anyone from endlessly beating their heads if they fail to "hear from God", even while passions are blazing in their heart.
Doing things because you have to
This is a very important consideration for me. Sometimes, something might fall outside of what God has specifically called us to do, and yet we might do it because we feel we have to. For instance, I don't particularly feel "called" to translate the Bible. I do it because I feel I have to, because no-one else has produced an open modern translation of the Bible. If there was another open translation available, I would not be producing another translation. However, by translating, I am facilitating something else that is part of what I do feel called to do, or what does lie within my passions – spreading the Word of God by simply recording and broadcasting the words of the Bible. Similarly just over a year ago, in "interesting" circumstances, the idea was raised of my starting my own church. I have never felt the slightest "calling" towards starting my own church (and it is not something I have ever felt the least passion for – quite the opposite, actually), and yet the idea had occurred to me several times, even before that. If I did start my own church, it would be because I felt I had to – because I have despaired of ever finding true, biblical, powerful Christ-centred teaching in any of the churches that surround me. (The alternative would be to dump church altogether. Which would be the better option?)
And now we reach the biggest part of this issue for me. It is one thing to talk about our calling. However, practically speaking, we also have to support ourselves financially. How are we to regard our efforts to support ourselves in relation to our spiritual calling? Paul was a tentmaker by trade, and yet talking about himself he did not say "Called to be a tentmaker". He said "Called to be an apostle". Does this mean that our secular trade is completely removed from our spiritual calling? So in practice, could we make money from anything that is decent and legal and that does not contradict God's standards?
Something that might be different about our times compared to Paul's day is that work to earn money takes up SO MUCH time in our day. Our Western society and everyday living systems are capitalistic to an extent that was probably unimaginable in the days in which Paul lived. So in practice, our secular trade might take up so much time that it would negatively impact on our spiritual calling which God has called us to do. As Paul himself said: "The love of money is the root of all evil". (It might not necessarily be our own love of money that is the problem, but rather our need to earn money to survive in a world which does love money). For a long time I have maintained the opinion that our modern "work" and its demands are the key reason why we as Christians have less time to pray and to do God's work. So as Christians, how do we deal with this? Perhaps we are to live as simply as we possibly can, so we can spend less time working for money and more time working for God…?

Australia, also known as Down Under, is known for its big horizons, savage beauty and great adventures. Since there is a well balanced mixture of major cities, rainforest, outback and beaches, individuals of varying interests can travel to Australia for the ultimate getaway. Diversity due to the contrasting landscapes like the Sydney Harbour Bridge on one hand and the Great Barrier Reef on the other makes it a fascinating destination for your next tour. If you are planning a tour to Australia do you know when the best time to visit is? This window starts after Easter and continues up to the month of July. It is the cheapest time to travel and marks the beginning of winter in Australia.
Where to stay?
A wide array of options for accommodation is available for tourists throughout the Australian landscape. Listed below are some popular choices
- Bed and breakfast: This facility is provided by numerous private homes all over the country and the accommodations vary according to the properties available. Boutique urban mansions, faded colonial buildings, rambling country manors and restored miners' cottages have all been turned into bed and breakfasts and rates are comparatively higher during the weekend.
- Hotels: Popular and well established international hotel chains offer accommodation in all states, and hotels located in cities charge more than their counterparts in the rural areas. Highways are lined with motels, which house restaurants and offer self-contained family units.
- Other accommodation: Hostels, pub hotels, rural farms and self-catering apartments are the other forms of accommodation available. Pub hotels and hostels do not require advanced booking and if you are backpacking, you might meet fellow backpackers at these hostels.
Things to do and places to see
- Flinders ranges: Located in the Southern part of Australia it is one of the least visited holiday destinations as very few dare to venture further south. These rolling mountains are home to several sleepy towns and national parks. The state capital Adelaide is a city close by, and has its own set of attractions to offer.
- Great Barrier Reef: The Great Barrier Reef is one of the must-see sights along the east coast of Australia. It stretches across a vast stretch and can be enjoyed during sailing trips made to Whitsunday Islands.
- Kakadu National Park: Kakadu National Park which stretches across 20,000 km sq has been wrapped by spiritual significance and is known for its unrivalled wilderness.
Shopping in Australia
Local wines, clothing, wool, sheepskin and leather products are just some of the special purchases most tourists indulge in while touring Australia. Are you wondering how to make your Australian tour memorable for life? Paintings and modern art sculptures along with precious stones can be purchased in this country and can represent as a memento of the happy memories. Artworks and artifacts depicting Aboriginal mythology also make valuable souvenirs.
Australia has a fairly active night life since most of the cities have healthy clubbing scenes, where popular national and international DJs often participate. The scrumptious local cuisines are one of the many reasons why tourists from across the world travel to Australia.

A Compact Guide to Available Methods of Penis Enhancement
You may believe it or not, but a short Internet-search through popular search sites will prove the surprising fact - judging by top-lists of popular inquires almost about every guy on earth should be interested in learning more about different methods of penis enhancement. This is surprising since the actual size of the penis does not guarantee any really outstanding overall sexual prowess. But the truth is that numerous companies and individual persons are aggressively promoting the latest penis enhancement products and there is no escape from them. The penis enhancement products come in a wide range of forms, from orally taken pills to vacuum penis pumps.
To begin with let us have a closer look at different pills and all-natural botanical supplements. They all are claimed to have great efficiency in the area of penis enhancement capabilities. Each brand competes for the position of the best penis enhancement products among all the rest offered on the market today. But the sad truth is that even the most reputable of them do not really do the work they are claimed to do. Yes, that is true, the most reputable brands come with money back guarantees, but that does not change the fact - they do not actually work. The manufacturers of these penis enhancement miracle drugs have found out that the majority of disappointed users will never bother to make the whole effort of sending the useless product back and, being happy with that discovery, they confidently offer money back guarantees as a reliable proof of the effectiveness of their product.
Just pay some extra attention to the wording that the actors in all those commercials on a late-night TV channels use when promoting the latest penis enhancement miracle drug, eg extenze. You are to discover some curious oddities that will make you think. In the first place, the claim that natural pills can actually make your penis larger is never stated directly. Instead, they bit around the bush, making allusions to some especially important areas of the male anatomy or something like that. Secondly, they always make a stress on necessity to administer penis enhancement products during the period of several weeks in order to let them start working and bring noticeable improvements. There is a good possibility that by the end of the suggested period the money back guarantee will expire. As the old saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably really is not true. A reasonable person should stay away from these products, saving money and time.
Another rather popular method of penis enhancement is a vacuum penis pump. The principal difference between these two methods is that on the contrary to penis enhancement drugs, the penis pump brings actual positive results. Yes, it is true, those results are not permanent, and they last just for the period of the penis pump application. But for this short term your penis actually gets larger, harder and thicker. By creating vacuum around the penis shaft, the penis pumps force the blood to flow into the erectile tissues of your member, producing great erection and making the penis gain extra centimeters. As soon as the pump is released and the penis is removed outside, the blood starts flowing back to other areas of your body. The penis comfortably returns to its usual size till the next time you would like to use a pump.

But I am complaining cause the rain is a falling…
On my crop
And it's now at harvest time,
Oh no
This is demanding me.
Classic music is not it, might be difficult to realize it, my tune writing capabilities aren't constantly regarded.
Rain drops in July August Sept even October and that would be approximately right, however it's the second of November right here in Dandaragan – Moora West Australia.
The sound of raindrops this time of year isn't always so true. I recognize many farmers on this location and rain isn't always part of the equation at harvest time.
When I drive from Moora to Regans Ford I see rows of canola swathed out in strains to dry earlier than being accrued up to harvest, raindrops in November is not true.
Heard at the news that this October has been one of the driest ones in years, might have seemed higher had those raindrops arrived some days earlier. But nonetheless that wouldn't have helped a farmer harvesting their crop these days.
Wouldn't you just like to be a farmer, sow a crop spray a few weeds, harvest it perhaps shop it for a chunk then sell for wads of coins.
Sounds like a decent plan. The world desires cereals, there may be a tested machine in region to grow it, markets obtainable to buy it so what may want to possibly go incorrect?

Must-Read Books for Geeks
Avant-garde videogames, computers on LSD and what popular TV shows and movies can teach us about good parenting. Check out these capsule reviews of 'The Game Worlds of Jason Rohrer,' 'Beyond Zero and One,' and 'Geek Parenting'
'The Game Worlds of Jason Rohrer'
By Michael Maizels and Patrick Jagoda
Elevator pitch: Designer Jason Rohrer is something of a performance artist of the videogame world. This book—a companion to a retrospective of Mr. Rohrer's work at Wellesley College's Davis Museum—celebrates his thought-provoking pixilated creations. His games are not your typical digital diversions. For example, in "Passage," which was one of 14 titles the Museum of Modern Art selected to inaugurate its permanent videogame collection, you collect treasure, gaining points as your avatar ages, greys, stoops, and eventually—no matter what you do—dies.
Very brief excerpt: "With [the game] 'Gravitation,' Rohrer grapples with his own emotional challenges in establishing a balance between work and family, and between flights of inspiration and bouts of melancholy."
Surprising factoid: Mr. Rohrer's game "Cultivation" was inspired by a New York town's resistance to the building of a Wal-Mart when Mr. Rohrer was a community activist there.
'Beyond Zero and One'
By Andrew Smart
Elevator pitch: Artificial intelligence is evolving quickly and bringing us to the edge of science fiction's most dystopian dreams. But will machine intelligence soon beget actual consciousness? Scientist and human-factors engineer Andrew Smart thinks that possibility is a long way off—and that we will not have created a truly intelligent machine unless it's capable of tripping on LSD (or the machine equivalent). In this wild but learned ramble Dr. Smart draws on neuroscience and chemistry, enlightenment philosophers and Steve Jobs, and just about everything in between.
Very brief excerpt: "It seems clear that if you are interested in building a machine that matches or exceeds human intelligence, and has humanlike conscious experience, you would be extremely interested in a group of molecules that reliably produce altered states of consciousness in humans and animals."
Surprising factoid: When LSD's discoverer, Albert Hofmann, first experienced the drug's full effects, he tried to escape from the lab on a challenging bicycle trip—thus the term "acid trip."
'Geek Parenting'
By Stephen H. Segal and Valya Dudycz Lupescu
Elevator pitch: Much wisdom can be gleaned from pop culture, according to the self-described geek authors of this collection of Parenting-101 lessons. Some of the advice is a little trite, but the book finds deep and unexpected truths in sources ranging from "Game of Thrones" to "The Chronicles of Narnia." The authors argue, for example, that pseudo-parent Jiminy Cricket failed Pinocchio by not telling him why it was important to be good. And if Obi-Wan had been a better listener, maybe young Anakin wouldn't have turned out so evil. If you don't want your child turning to the dark side, this is as good a place to start as any.
Very brief excerpt: "Jen, Jade Fox, and Shu Lien [of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'] teach us: A girl with a sword isn't a 'tomboy.' She's a girl. With a sword."
Surprising factoid: Though most famous for his declaration, "Live long and prosper," Spock of "Star Trek" once said, less dictatorially, "There are always possibilities."
Corrections & Amplifications
Albert Hofmann, the discoverer of LSD, rode home on a bicycle after experiencing the drug's full effects for the first time. An earlier version of this article misspelled his last name as Hoffman and incorrectly suggested that he didn't make it home.

June 2019
Well, Week 6 is finished and we are top of Division 1 now. We have a 9 point lead over 2nd place Eaglescliffe but they have 1 game in hand, which is an away match at Hunley. Not an easy place to go to. All teams will have played 6 matches by the end of next week. Our next match is away to Blackwell Grange on 24.6.19. The team is playing well. Our worst result so far has been against Eaglescliffe at Billingham when we lost 7 – 6, but it could have been worse with 3 matches going to the last hole. Food is still great, so thanks to Tony. I will be in touch in about 3 weeks time with a further update.
May 2019
Hi all, I feel a little like David Moyes taking over from Alex Ferguson at Man Utd, after Norman had won the Seniors League for the last 2 years, but it is the team that can prevail.
Well, we are into our 3rd week of Seniors Team matches. We are currently 2 and 0 and one match postponed. We won our first match at home against Blackwell Grange 8 to 5, a win but a little disappointing for a home match, we ill need to make sure we do something similar when we get to their place. Our second match was against Hunley Hall at Hunley on Wednesday 8th May. When we got there the rain was horizontal and the wind was ridiculous. Myself and the Hunley Captain had a very short discussion and we decided that the match needed to be postponed, we were drowned out by the cheers from both teams, so that match is now going to be on the 29th May 2019. Our third match was a home tie against Teesside on 13th May 2019, which we won 11 to 2, so a great result. One Billingham pair won 8 up and another 7 up !!
League wise, we are 5th out of 7 at the moment but that is only issued up to and including our 2nd match, which was postponed, so we should move up the table once we catch up with the games.
Our next home game is 20th May 2019 against Catterick, so good luck to the team for that one.
We have had a good start and it will continue with our great team spirit.
The food provided by Tony Johnston has been great so far, we have had Steak Pie & Chips, Mince & Dumplings with Chips and on 20.5.19, it is Chicken Curry (not sure if its with chips or rice). Thanks Tony.
Anyone interested in playing for the Seniors Team, then please email me on email@example.com. You need to be 55 or over and have an active handicap with Billingham Golf Club.

I came upon the monster
as I wandered in the dark.
Searching for the root of things,
for what would be the start.
I called out to the monster
"I will not be afraid!"
Although it knew my weaknesses,
I also knew it's name.
"Abandon", I shouted,
"you will not take the light!"
Breaking like the dawn of day,
a stream of virgin white.

Dietitian Health Tip: Add colour to your daily food intake
Add colour to your daily food intake (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown and black). Try to limit and avoid "white" foods (bread, sugar etc.). Count up how many colours you eat in a day. Just remember, colours from condiments and food colorings do not count. If you are eating five or more different colors, this is a quick way of assessing that your diet is rich in antioxidants!

Older Women More Likely to Get Wrong Medications
Nearly one in three women in British Columbia over the age of 65 were prescribed inappropriate or even dangerous medications in 2013, according to a new study at the University of British Columbia (UBC). One in four men of the same age received similar prescriptions.
"The effect of a patient's sex on the risk of inappropriate prescribing is of tremendous clinical and social concern," said lead researcher Professor Steve Morgan at UBC's School of Population and Public Health.
For the study, the researchers looked at population-based healthcare data to find out which medical and non-medical factors influence patients' risk of receiving prescription drugs on the American Geriatrics Society's list of drugs that should be avoided for older patients. The biggest non-medical risk factor was the patient's gender — namely, being a woman.
The findings show that, even when the data was adjusted for all other risk factors, women were as much as 23 percent more likely than men to be prescribed inappropriate drugs.
Even though there has been increased awareness among doctors and pharmacists of the harms associated with prescribing certain medications to older patients, the findings show that older British Columbians continue to routinely receive inappropriate prescriptions. The study also found that women were much more likely to receive medications in general than men.
"Being a woman is double jeopardy when it comes to taking medications," said Dr. Cara Tannenbaum, scientific director of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research's Institute of Gender and Health.
"Women metabolize drugs differently than men. Gender roles and social circumstances also place them at risk. However, I expect that by empowering women with knowledge about the harms of sleeping pills and other medications, we can help drive decisions to try switching to safer therapies."
The study findings — including sex differences in the effects of income, ethnicity, and marriage — suggest that the elevated risks that women face are a result of complex issues intersecting between social, gender, and authority relationships.
"For men, being married or in a high income bracket reduced the risk of receiving inappropriate prescriptions. These factors had no significant effect for women. On the other hand, being Chinese or South Asian significantly lowered women's risk of receiving an inappropriate prescription, but did not affect men's risks," said Morgan.
Researchers concluded that the sex differences in older adults' risk of receiving a potentially inappropriate prescription are significantly influenced by social dynamics, including differences in patients' care seeking and care-giving behaviors, as well as differences in the relationships and communications between patients and providers.

Thread: Fatigue and employment
Fatigue and employment
Hi everyone!
I am fairly new to being open about my MS as well as the diagnosis itself. I am hoping some of you have some advice for me along the lines of employment I'm able to do, if not, kind words and encouragement are always great.
A little background on myself and my diagnosis: I am only 26 years old and was diagnosed with RRMS about two years ago when I was going to school for Biology, I was able to get my Associates degree but I don't see continuing my education as an option as the fatigue is crushing. When I was diagnosed I almost lost the job I had at a call center from calling out sick too often, I had to quit. Several months later I got a new job working for a bank but it was 40 hours a week I thought I could handle and the stress gave me severe panic attacks and depression that worsened my MS symptoms. My neuro recommended I find work elsewhere as this was too much stress.
I then got a job part time in retail. This is when my fatigue became the most prevalent. I noticed I started having brain fog and couldn't keep up my pace with my peers and would make stupid mistakes over and over when I was exhausted. I struggled with multi tasking and my memory often. I got written up and warned multiple times. I left this job in fear of being fired as well. I would also like to note that with all three situations with my previous employers I did disclose my diagnosis and these employers did try to accommodate. It was the nature of the jobs themselves that didn't work out
Overall since my diagnosis I have learned I am not able to work primarily on my feet as I lose feeling in my left leg and it worsens the fatigue. I am only able to work part time and I'm no longer able to handle much stress in a job. I haven't been able to keep a job since I was diagnosed and I feel like my MS keeps me from doing basically any job. I'm not able to handle stress like I used to and I have severe anxiety and panic attacks now.
Since the retail job I am barely able to stay awake an entire day even while being unemployed. The fatigue is so intense that I am not comfortable driving myself when it arises. I also am not comfortable driving on medications I need for muscle spasms and vertigo. I would like a job from home that I am able to do at my own pace so I am able to lay down when I need to. I'm curious if you all have recommendations or suggestions. I am also curious how other people with this severe fatigue are able to keep meaningful employment, let alone get themselves to work!
I am working with my state Vocational Rehab counselor and have also applied for disability. The VR services put a lot of the work on me and I am out of ideas as to what would accommodate me perfectly. I am hoping that disability works out and I am approved but I am afraid of the outcome. I've heard its tough for some people with MS to get. I want to keep working at least part time, as it's a financial necessity for me now especially with student loans and medical bills.
I appreciate any advice from you guys
Sorry you are experiencing overwhelming fatigue. Many here have. Have you talked to your neuro about it?
Aside from MS fatigue, medications can have it as a side effect. Depression can also cause it. It is a puzzle to figure out.
There are some meds that are used to treat MS fatigue:. Amantadine, provigil, nuvigil, Adderall to name a few. I was on provigil for years. It did help. I finally reached a point where it helped clear my head a little bit, but did nothing physically. So I stopped.
One of the things that actually helps per studies is exercise. It's hard to do when fatigued, but I know for me, it holds true.
Have you had any neuropsychology testing? It can give a baseline for cognitive issues, but can also be used to identify areas of weakness, and by working with them, can help develop strategies to compensate.
Lots of luck with the disability claim.Kathy
DX 01/06, currently on Tysabri
Yes, I have spoke with my neuro about the fatigue. My fatigue feels like physical and mental exhaustion, my body just feels like it's shutting down entirely. She basically told me it is a common in people with MS and we could try a medication. However, my insurance wont cover those prescriptions so I'd need to pay out of pocket. I also am not entirely comfortable tacking on more medications to all of what I'm taking currently.
I've been on the 44 mcg of Rebif three times a week for two years and still have some of the flu like symptom side effects. Then medication for that nausea, and some pretty heavy stuff for the vertigo and muscle spasms. I was also prescribed a medication for the panic attacks and anxiety. Maybe it's something I'll learn to get over but for now I'd rather limit how much medication I take. For now, if I'm able to nap when the fatigue hits it's working great for me. The only issue is finding a job that allows me to rest when I need to.
You are so correct! It is a puzzle to figure out! All of MS is a puzzle, but it's definitely made life interesting. I will look into the neuropsychology testing and ask my doctor about it. I know I don't process things the way I used to anymore so thank you very much for that advice!

Is there a small business near you that needs an office worker? Maybe a church or small school? They might have a part-time position in a less stressful environment.

Can you explore a different med? I take ubiquinol, PQQ and alpha lipoic acid which are supposed to help with the cog fog and energy. I know that starting exercise to combat fatigue is so very hard- took me a long time to find the energy just to start- but it does make a difference. Can you find a motivating goal - an MS walk or ride to train for? A pet that needs walking? If you can financially afford to do so, I would focus on getting the fatigue under control and then do the job search. Gentle exercise such as tai chi, yoga or qigong can help significantly. Basic meditation and affirmations rewire the brain for the good.
I definitely agree with the others who have mentioned office jobs. While it may be more mentally demanding, it's not physically challenging.
But again, I would def look into adjusting your meds before just accepting this as "it's just MS." And if your neuro isn't interested in looking into that with you, then it's maybe time for a new neuro as well!
Good luck and please keep us posted on how you are doing!
