KPL transfers: Bandari sign new keeper, loan out striker
As the Kenya Premier League transfer window comes to a close, Bandari FC has roped in former Onduparaka FC goalkeeper Godfrey Lowo Okong'o.
Club CEO Edward Odour confirmed that the 23 year-old Okong'o has signed a three year deal with the Dockers replacing Lucas Indeche whose six month contract expired. "We have signed Godfrey Lowo Okong'o after the youngster impressed technical bench especially coach Paul Nkata during trials.
"Being young and experienced, Okong'o has a great future and the coach felt he is the most suitable replacement for Lucas Indeche, whose contract with the club has expired."

|Short Bunch Experiment at EXALT Facility
|Nowdays, different applications required short bunches, with low energy spread and low emittances. On EXALT facility, we perform an experiment with a short (few100 femtosecond) laser pulse on a photocathode in a 3 GHz RF gun. We perform the measurement of the single photon emission process with a copper cathode. We show that the longitudinal photoinjector model via transfer matrix is suitable for the reconstruction of the bunch duration even in short pulse mode with an increased accurracy charge below 20 pC. We clearly measure the parabolic profile in the energy spectrum resulting from blow out phenomena at the cathode due to strong space charge forces. Measurements are also compared with the Astra simulations.

|Laser-Plasma Acceleration Modeling Approach in the Case of ESCULAP Project.
Objective of ESCULAP project is the experimental study of Laser-Plasma Acceleration (LPA) of relativistic electron bunch from photo-injector in 10 cm length plasma cell *. In parallel, numerical tools have been developed in order to optimize the setup configuration and the analysis of the expected results. The most important issue when dealing with numerical simulation over such large interaction distances is to obtain a good accuracy at a limited computing cost in order to be able to perform parametric studies. Reduction of the computational cost can be obtained either by using state-of-the-art numerical technics and/or by introducing adapted approximation in the physical model. Concerning LPA, the relevant Maxwell-Vlasov equations can be numerically solved by Particle-In-Cell (PIC) methods without any additional approximation, but can be very computationally expensive. On the other hand, the quasi-static approximation ***, which yields a drastic reduction of the computational cost, appears to be well adapted to the LPA regime. In this paper we present a detailed comparison of the performance, in terms of CPU, of LPA calculations and of the accuracies of their results obtained either with a highly optimized PIC code (FBPIC **) or with the well known quasi-static code WAKE ***. We first show that, when considering a sufficiently low charge bunch for which the beam loading effect can be neglected, the quasi-static approximation is fully validated in the LPA regime. The case of a higher bunch charge, with significant beam loading effects, has also been investigated using an enhanced version of WAKE, named WAKE-EP. Additionally, a cost evaluation, in terms of used energy per calculation, has also been done using the multi-CPU and multi-GPU versions of FBPIC.

Servant Leadership as it compares to Transformational Leadership
Transformational and servant leadership are rooted in the study of charismatic leadership. An early conceptual model of "charismatic leadership" has been closely linked with the work of Max Weber, who described the leader as a charismatic person who exercised power through followers' identification with and belief in the leader's personality. Both transformational and servant leadership are both inspirational and moral.
Transformational leadership is defined as having four conceptually distinct elements: charismatic leadership/idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration (Bass, 1996). Servant leadership has six distinct components: valuing people, developing people, building community, displaying authenticity, providing leadership, sharing leadership (Laub, 1999). These behaviors are listed under the dimension heading in Table 1. Two questions are addressed in this analysis. The first asks the extent to which the specified leader behaviors overlap in the two models. The second question examines the extent to which each model may be appropriate for clearly distinct contexts.
The Seven Habits of Servant Leadership
To create a servant workforce, you must put into practice seven guiding principles or 'habits' that encourages sensitivity, integrity, and a sense of community within your organization.
1.Be an Active Listener - In the words of Steven Covey, "you must first seek to understand, then to be understood." Problems, whether they are coworker disputes or handling a large spurt of production delays or downsizing your workforce, all require a degree of listening first to what employees need to understand how to effectively deal with and solve the underlying problem. Traditionally, leaders have been valued for their communication skills and decision-making abilities. Servant-leaders must reinforce these important skills by making a deep commitment to actively listening to others. Servant-leaders seek to identify and clarify the will of a group. They seek to listen receptively to what is being and said (and not said) among others. By listening with intent, followers feel understood and valued, even under pressure, the servant leader demonstrates a sense of empathy and compassion by taking the time to understand what one's body, spirit, and mind are communicating.
2.Be Empathic - Do people believe that you will understand what is happening in their lives and how it affects them? Servant leaders can "walk in others' shoes" and recognize the unique value of each employee. They understand and empathize with others' circumstances and problems. Leaders who are empathetic have earned confidence from others by understanding whatever situation is being faced. This characteristic is a skill that comes more naturally to some than others, but it is pertinent for all who aspire to be a servant leader.
3.Establish Trust -...

It can come as a great relief when the big, disastrous storm you'd been preparing for–and stressing over–doesn't materialize. Maybe the meteorologists got it wrong, maybe the storm lost steam or changed direction…either way, you're out of the danger zone, and your family is safe and sound.
But then there's the matter of all those storm supplies you stocked up on. What to do with it all? Will it just go to waste? If you can't donate or return the items, how about having a bit of fun with them?
We've crafted some unusual and fun ways to make the most of your leftover storm supplies.
Lose the Lucky Charms, and whip up a proper breakfast instead.
Spread a blanket on the living room floor, gather around and chow down.
It's a "kitchen sink" kind of recipe: throw it all in, and stir. Makes a great snack for kids' school lunches.
Take me to your leader! A great adventure/pretend game for the kids. Bonus points if you pitch a tent!
Now's a great time to teach the youngsters about the miracle of nature. (Hint: Place the toilet paper on top of the soil to help insulate it and distribute the water.)
Use plastic spoons for the head and neck, toilet paper rolls for the body, markers to draw faces and clothes, and tape to keep it all together. Or a variation of your choice.

My Three Toxic Best Friends
I don't like PCOS. I don't like that I tire out easily and that during some of my really bad flare ups I can't make it around both the neighborhood and the school. That I have to wear a patch on my skin that leaves behind a sticky residue when it is gone. That I am stuck with the patch because I am some of the unlucky few who gets nauseous with all of the oral birth controls. That it caused me to lose some of my hair before we realized what was wrong with me. That I may never be able to have kids, and part of me is relieved at this and part of me is devastated. That I think the PCOS is leading to endometrioses and I am furious about that because it seems out of everything in this world my body is the one things I have the least amount of control over.
I don't like bipolar disorder. I don't like that my mood fluctuates from happy to sad faster than it takes me to decide on an outfit to wear and, I only wear 4 different outfits for each season. That I can want to cry and curl up in a ball for no reason at all. That I want to eat the whole entire bag of chocolates and never get up again even though I have plenty to get done. That it worries my mother as she sits and says "maybe I need to go to Valley" and I respond no because I don't want to go to a mental hospital. That my bipolar gets worse at the end of semesters and has caused me to have to withdraw from school which causes me to feel like I am stupid and worthless.
I don't like my anxiety. That I am afraid of things that are never going to happen, like me single -handedly causing the world to end. That I am afraid to drive my car because I might somehow cause harm to someone else. I could care less if I'm hurt or not my life isn't important. That when I was at UGA I stopped eating because I was afraid the food would somehow go down the wrong pipe and I would die. That in the pictures of that time I'm so skinny I don't even recognize myself. That it causes me to lose sleep and stare at the wall for hours on end as I toss and turn praying to whatever God is out there that I could have some peace. That I never enjoy anything because there is always something to be afraid of or something that I worry I should be doing.
I hate that nobody knew what was wrong for the longest time so they did test after test and pricked me with needle after needle, butterfly and quick gauge and you never know how much those butterfly needles can hurt until a nurse digs into your arm searching for a vein. That I had doctor after doctor tell me that I just needed to exercise more and that my own dad is a doctor and he failed to diagnosis me. That I suffered for years and was not diagnosed until I was 22. That there is no cure for any of my conditions. That I have to take pills and explain to people that I'm not crazy, but yes, I go to therapy. That I somehow have several conditions.
I don't like being sick.

She enjoys writing about these topics to help raise awareness and reduce the stigma associated with them. She hopes that her writings can help her readers feel that they are not alone.
My first panic attack
Anxiety is my long-time 'friend'. The stigma of simply being 'uptight' or 'sensitive' or 'overreacting' at first smothering the idea of getting a diagnosis or even thinking about why I feel a certain way about seemingly everyday tasks. I never thought I'd get to a point where I was afraid to leave the house or walk down the street. I was like a frog in boiling water unaware of the steaming bubbles growing above me. I kept the secret sewn to my chest since I didn't want to give the kids at school another reason to ignore me, or even worse, feel sorry for me.
I was eighteen when my first panic boiled over. I was a tiny fish in the ocean of university, alone for the first time. I'd forced myself to attend the meet and greet down the street from my dorm. I didn't mind the dark lights of the bar/nightclub as I could hide beneath the curtains of darkness between the spotlights. I forced myself to collect a list of forgettable faces and misplaced names as per the getting to know you 'game' that the student reps. had given us on the way in.
After a few hours, I'd managed to socially exhaust myself and decided to return to my dorm. Once I stepped out into the street, I was surrounded by darkness and unfamiliar faces. I gazed up at the towering buildings masked in black, any landmark or store sign distorted without the daytime sun. My chest clenched and my mind began to shatter into tiny shards of glass that swirled in my head as if my skull was a vacuum cleaner bag. Beneath the gaze of the streetlight, I felt exposed as if I was the perfect target for every crime, as if I was waiting for an inevitable trouble.
Once I accepted the fact that I didn't know how to get back to the dorms, I picked up my phone and called campus security. I had been told by every student rep. that if I was feeling unsafe, I could call security after hours and they'd help me get back to the dormitory. Apparently, the man who answered my call didn't get that message. He barked at me throughout the entire call, saying that I was wasting his time. With a cutting guilt and intense humiliation, I apologised and hung up, just as I began to lose control.
It was as if I was watching myself on a security monitor. I was completely out of my body as I felt the fear take over, my mind blank of any ideas as I stood alone in the dark, tears prickling my eyes as I considered (in my frazzled mind) hiding in the nearby shrubbery to wait until morning came.
To my utter relief, someone I'd met earlier during orientation found me and was kind enough to help me back to the dorm. Yet, even inside my locked bedroom, I still felt as if I was outside alone in the dark. It stuck with me like a sickness, my stomach wedged in my throat and my mind still in tatters as I tried to piece together the last thirty minutes.
What hit me harder was that I thought that I'd gained control over Anxiety. After so many therapy sessions, I thought I could control it like a misbehaving puppy. Yet, all the stars had aligned to create my perfect worst-case scenario. I was outside, alone, at night with no one I properly knew to help me. Bonus points came in the form of the bitter security guard and the fact that I was already on edge due to my additional social anxiety.
However, the whole point of going to university for me, other than getting an education, was to break free from the retrains that Anxiety had placed on me. My Anxiety is like a toxic friend that lives in your head and it takes time and some practice to get them to take their hands off the reins.

In consideration of societal changes and the practical needs of the armed forces, the Ministry of National Defense (MND) introduced a mental health (counseling) program with planning beginning in 1989 and establishing the Mental Health Center in four stages over two years beginning in 1991.
The Armed Forces Mental Health Organization Project, completed in July 1, 1999, gradually developed a three-tier preventive response system and regional counseling network that incorporates the already existing Mental Health Center and additional seven Regional Mental Health Centers in the north, central, south, east, Kinmen, Matzu, and Penghu, bringing into being a comprehensive mental health (counseling) system for the armed forces.
The focus of Armed Forces Mental Health (Counseling) is on the long-term and comprehensive task of assisting officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers to adapt to life in the armed forces, preventing self-administered injury and facilitating physical and mental health development. The MND shall continue its efforts in promoting its mental health (counseling) function with counseling and referral counseling through the existing three-tier preventive response system and regional counseling network.

Course Schedule
Instructor Sam Berry was absolutely fantastic. I cannot recommend him, his teachning/instruction method, and course format enough! This workshop is perfectly balanced with plenty of hands on, practical exposure to exercises, drills, and recovery techniques, in addition to a reasonably appropriate and valuable amount of classroom/book teaching. I had previously completed the Sports Performance Specialist Program online and this course was everything I needed to put all the pieces of that puzzle together and be able to both see and effectively recreate the application of the drills, programming, and assessments on my clients. While both the Specialist program and the Workshop both offer crossover information, I do feel taking both courses has been fundamental in my understanding and effectiveness as a Sports Performance Specialist, and has given me far more confidence to be able to use this information for positive and effective change with my clients and as a trainer.

U14 Boys Academy - Regional Tournament Report
Derbyshire U14 Boys had a tough day at the office at the final county matches on May 6th.
After a 1-1 draw against Warwickshire, who were the final tournament winners, they then went on to lose by just one last minute goal to Nottinghamshire and Worcestershire. Unfortunately the odd goal here and there converted to league points for those teams, leaving us playing Staffordshire in the 3rd league A v 4th league B playoff. 0-0 at full time was followed by a penalty shoot out. After goals saved by both goal keepers, the team just dipped out losing 2-1 on penalties. Finally perseverance paid off and the Derbyshire boys u14 beat the Black Country 2-0 in their final match for 7th place overall.
Despite the disappointment there was a fantastic team spirit right to the very end. All credit to the whole team.

Although Ben Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner have worked together in the past, the caped Crusader actor predicts that they won't try it again. Instead, he's content to credit Garner for his career chutzpah with films such as Daredevil, reported the Daily Mail.
As for who wins the marriage battles? Affleck described it in terms of who won the filmed fights.
"She won most of the fights in the movie, which was a pretty good predictor of what would happen down the road – my wife holding swords and beating the living s**t out of me."
Ben admits that along with the career highlights, there have been some flops. For example, in 2003, he starred in the dismal failure Gigli with former fiancee Jennifer Lopez. But when it comes to his memories of J Lo and his other ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow, Affleck is quick to praise, claiming that he feels fond of both women.
"I've been really lucky in my personal relationships. I look back and think the major relationships I've had were all with really good people who I like quite a bit still to this day."
When it comes to advice on taking on the iconic role of Batman, Affleck may want to turn to a former caped Crusader, who has already offered unsolicited advice, according to the New York Daily News.
After Christian Bale learned that Ben would star in the much-ballyhooed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, his wisdom focused on manly matters.
"The first one was, 'Be able to take a p*ss by yourself. I found it to be ridiculously unheroic between takes when I said, 'Excuse me, I need to pee, could somebody undo me please?'"
In addition, Bale recommended consulting with the costume designer about cowl comfort.
"[It] took three people 20 minutes with tools in order to take that cowl off (my) head," recalled Christian.
As for experiencing jealous feelings that someone else is donning the invincible costume of the caped Crusader? Nonsense, says Bale. He does admit, however, that it was not expected.
"The baton has been passed, that's the nature of Batman. Of course, it was passed a lot quicker than I expected, but I completely understand."
One of Ben's best buddies also played Batman. That's George Clooney, and the two have been BFFs for years, according to Us Weekly.
However, despite their personal friendship, their careers have gone in different directions. Clooney has taken more of a role behind the cameras as a director and producer, as well as occasional charity appearances such as the Downton Abbey film, as the Inquisitr reported.
As for career advice on playing the caped hero? Clooney declined to offer any suggestions, reported the Indie Wire.
"I am the least qualified person to comment on anyone playing the role of Batman since I so terribly destroyed the part. I tend to look at it like this – let's just see what the movie is before everyone starts beating him up. He is a smart man, he knows what he is doing."

For One Former Inmate, A New Life
NEW YORK — Getting shot was probably a critical turning point in Ray Tebout's life, he says. It was 1990. Tebout had just turned 16 and was living on the streets of the South Bronx, selling drugs and doing his best to survive. And then some guy had to go and shoot him in the foot. The day of the shooting Tebout was on the corner selling drugs when "a guy wanted something from me," he said.

Lesson 208
Graphic by © Deposit Photos
Every situation properly perceived becomes an opportunity to heal the Son of God. And he is healed
you offered faith to him, giving him to the Holy Spirit and releasing him from every demand your ego would make of him. Thus do you see him free, and in this vision does the Holy Spirit share. And since He shares it, He has given it, and so He heals through
. It is this joining Him in a united purpose which makes this purpose real because you make it whole. And this
healing. The body is healed because you came without it and joined the Mind in which all healing rests.
WORKBOOK Part I
Voice and Music by CIMS SonShip Radio
With this review, we take but one idea
each day, and practice it as often as
is possible. Besides the time we give
morning and evening, which should not be less
than fifteen minutes, and the hourly
remembrances we make throughout the day,
use the idea as often as you can
between them. Each of these ideas alone
would be sufficient for salvation, if
it is learned truly. Each would be enough
to give release to you and to the world
from every form of bondage, and invite
the memory of God to come again.
With this in mind, we start our practicing
in which we carefully review the thoughts
the Holy Spirit has bestowed on us
in our last twenty lessons. Each contains
the whole curriculum, if understood,
practiced, accepted and applied to all
the seeming happenings throughout the day.
One is enough. But for that one there must
be no exceptions made. And so we need
to use them all, and let them blend as one
as each contributes to the whole we learn.
These practice lessons, like our last review,
are centered round a central theme with which
we start and end each lesson. It is this:
I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.
The day begins and ends with this. And we
repeat it every time the hour strikes,
or we remember, in between, we have
a function that transcends the world we see.
Beyond this and a repetition of
the special thought we practice for the day,
no form of exercise is urged, except
a deep relinquishing of everything
that clutters up your mind, and makes it deaf
to reason, sanity and simple truth.
We will attempt to get beyond all words
and special forms of practicing for this
review. For we attempt this time to reach
a quickened pace along a shorter path
to the serenity and peace of God.
We merely close our eyes, and then forget
all that we thought we saw and understood.
For thus is freedom given us from all
we did not know and failed to understand.
There is but one exception to this lack
of structuring. Permit no idle thought
to go unchallenged. If you notice one,
deny its hold and hasten to assure
your mind that this is not what it would have.
Then gently let the thought which you denied
be given up in sure and quick exchange
for the idea we practice for the day.
When you are tempted, hasten to proclaim
your freedom from temptation, as you say:
This thought I do not want. I choose instead...
And then repeat the idea for the day,
and let it take the place of what you thought.
Beyond such special applications of
each day's idea, we will add but few
formal expressions for specific thoughts
to aid your practicing. Instead we give
these times of quiet to the Teacher Who
instructs in quiet, speaks of peace, and gives
our thoughts whatever meaning they may have.
To Him I offer this review for you.
I place you in His charge, and let Him teach
you what to do and say and think each time
you turn to Him. He will not fail to be
available to you each time you call
to Him to help you. Let us offer Him
the whole review we now begin, and let
us also not forget to Whom it has
been given, as we practice, day by day,
advancing toward the goal He set for us;
allowing Him to teach us how to go,
and trusting Him completely for the way
each practice period can best become
a loving gift of freedom to the world.

ACIM Edmonton - Sarah's Reflections
LESSON 208 Review VI
[188] The peace of God is shining in me now.
Sarah's Commentary:
Are you feeling peace today? If not, does it seem hard to release the obstacles to peace? Are you feeling sad, guilty, distressed, angry, frustrated, tired, bored, anxious, superior, worried, lacking, wishing, expecting, or desiring? Have you told yourself that it is hard to find peace or that it will take you a very long time? Do you believe that it is hard to release distressing feelings? Whatever we tell ourselves affirms the beliefs and concepts we choose to hold onto, but we can also choose to let them go with the help of the Holy Spirit. Do you notice that sometimes you momentarily let go of these obsessive thoughts and feelings, but then take them back and find them playing in your mind again? Releasing the blocks to love is mostly a process, not an event. We just need to stay focused on our desire to heal and to take accountability for our feelings, rather than blaming anyone for making us feel the way we do.
It is true that love can move mountains, and in God's
all things are possible. We believe it takes
to heal, it is hard to release our grievances, and we will never get over difficult feelings; but, these are all beliefs held by the wrong mind and thus they are false. Can you see that there is some kind of payoff for holding onto these beliefs? Yes, it does seem odd to think that we actually get "juice" from suffering, yet think about what suffering allows you to do. For example, it may give you the attention you crave, or it may prove that you are right about how you have been wronged, or it may be used to punish someone for what they have seemingly done, or ultimately, it proves your reality is a body, separate from God. Yes, even death is so-called proof that we are real and God is not. Everything we hold onto has a payoff or we would not hold onto it. The ultimate payoff is our desire to keep our individual separate self.
We can address this struggle with willingness,
and determination to choose the Holy Spirit as our Guide. The mountain of anger,
and resistance is the mountain that Love can move. Thus, the miracle shifts our perception from one of
form, which is
that our reality is a body and personality, to the perception of the truth of who we are, which is eternal Spirit. So today, watch the thoughts and beliefs that come
and be willing to release them to the Holy Spirit. These beliefs are being held to keep you separate from the love you are. Recognize that this is the only purpose for holding onto them, which is to prove you are right about yourself, and thus God is wrong. Be willing to be wrong today. Be willing to look with honesty and courage at everything you are hiding and denying in yourself. For example, we are loath to believe that we attack because we intend to hurt. Our first response is to protect our "face of innocence" and choose to believe that we only attack in self-defense.
Today, be willing to bring awareness to these denied aspects of the ego mind that hide behind defenses. Stay with the feelings that arise, rather than run away from them. Simply let these feelings rise up
you without judgment. Allow them to be released without using them to attack anyone. Go on with your day, but keep your attention on what you are thinking and feeling. The more you observe your mind the more the ego cannot hide in the darkness. With the
of what you are feeling, without denying what is coming up, healing can be facilitated. Our part is simply to uncover the feelings. The Holy Spirit does the rest. We just need to surrender our need to fix things and our desire to do anything except to give it over to the Holy Spirit. Put your issues and concerns on the inner altar where the Holy Spirit will do the healing. Allow the miracle to open you up to the truth by taking back your projections and taking full responsibility for them.
Become aware of the idle thoughts, the frantic thoughts, the self-attacking thoughts, the concerns, and the wishes for things to be different than they are. All can be brought to awareness without judging ourselves. Look at everything that comes up and let it be released. It is a mistake to believe that you should be beyond such thoughts because you are spiritual. Do not let a current of self-talk carry you through the day. Release it and accept the Peace of God instead. How do we do that?
we have over-learned the ego program, which rules our experience here in this world. Instructions are given us today for very regular practice throughout the day. A great deal of importance is put on this practice. The words we are given in each of these Lessons can change our experience if we apply them to any distressful situation. Words have importance
the Course only to the extent that they point us to the truth. What is essential is that we take in these words with sincerity and dedication, applying them in our daily lives. A lot of focus is being put on frequency and repetition of the idea throughout the day. It is a reflection of the importance given to the goal.
Today, make a firm commitment to the practice of the Lesson. Recognize that the peace of God is in you---now. There is nothing to seek but there are blocks to uncover to peace so the light of our being can shine through us and bring blessing to the world.
"I will be still, and let the earth be still along with me. And in that
we will find the peace of God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to God Himself."
(W.208.1.2-4) It is always such a joy when we can be the witness of the light and peace in all those we encounter. We will then feel its radiance shine back on us. This is what fills our treasure house with unlimited blessings and blesses us immeasurably.
Love and blessings, Sarah

A Course in Miracles
Chapter Nineteen
Beyond the Body
Voice and Music by Martin Weber, CIMS SonShip Radio
I. Introduction
We said before that when a situation has been dedicated wholly to truth, peace is inevitable. Its attainment is the criterion by which the wholeness of the dedication can be safely assumed. Yet we also said that peace without faith will
be attained, for what is wholly dedicated to truth as its only goal is brought to truth
faith. This faith encompasses everyone involved, for only thus the situation is perceived as meaningful and as a whole. And everyone must be involved in it, or else your faith is limited and your dedication incomplete.
Every situation properly perceived becomes an opportunity to heal the Son of God. And he is healed
you offered faith to him, giving him to the Holy Spirit and releasing him from every demand your ego would make of him. Thus do you see him free, and in this vision does the Holy Spirit share. And since He shares it, He has given it, and so He heals through
. It is this joining Him in a united purpose which makes this purpose real because you make it whole. And this
healing. The body is healed because you came without it and joined the Mind in which all healing rests.
II. Healing and the Mind
The body cannot heal because it cannot make itself sick. It
no healing. Its health or sickness depends entirely on how the mind perceives it and the purpose which the mind would use it
. And it is obvious that a segment of the mind can see itself as separated from the Universal Purpose. When this occurs, the body becomes its weapon used against this Purpose to demonstrate the "fact" that separation has occurred. The body thus becomes the instrument of illusion, acting accordingly; seeing what is not there, hearing what truth has never said, and behaving insanely, being imprisoned
Do not overlook our earlier statement that faithlessness leads straight to illusions. For faithlessness is the perception of a brother as a body, and the body cannot be used for purposes of union. If, then, you see your brother as a body, you have established a condition in which uniting with him becomes impossible. Your faithlessness to him has separated you from him and kept you
apart from being healed. Your faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy Spirit's purpose and brought illusions centered on the body to stand between you. And the body
seem to be sick, for you have made of it an "enemy" of healing and the opposite of truth.
It cannot be difficult to realize that faith must be the opposite of faithlessness. Yet the difference in how they operate is less apparent, though it follows directly from the fundamental difference in what they are. Faithlessness would always limit and attack; faith would remove all limitations and make whole. [Faithlessness would destroy and
; faith would unite and
.] Faithlessness would interpose illusions between the Son of God and his Creator; faith would remove all obstacles that seem to rise between them. Faithlessness is wholly dedicated to illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial dedication is impossible. Truth is the absence of illusion; illusion the absence of truth.
Both cannot
together nor perceived in the same place. To dedicate yourself to both is to set up a goal forever impossible to attain, for part of it is sought through the body, thought of as a means for seeking out reality through attack, while the other part would heal and therefore calls upon the mind and not the body. The inevitable compromise is the belief that the body must be healed, and not the mind. For this divided goal has given both an equal reality, which could be possible only if the mind is limited to the body and divided into little parts of seeming wholeness but without connection. This will not harm the body, but it
keep the delusional thought system in the
Here then is healing needed. And it is here that healing
. For God gave healing not apart from sickness, nor established remedy where sickness cannot be. They are together, and when they are seen together, all attempts to keep both truth and illusion in the mind, where both must be, are recognized as dedication to illusion and given up when brought to truth and seen as totally irreconcilable with truth in any respect or in any way.
Truth and illusion have
connection. This will remain forever true, however much you seek to connect them. But illusions are always connected, as is truth. Each is united, a complete thought system, but totally disconnected to each other. Where there is no overlap, there separation must be complete. And to perceive this is to recognize where separation is and where it must be healed. The result of an idea is never separate from its source. The
of separation produced the body and remains connected to it, making it sick because of its identification with it. You think you are protecting the body by hiding this connection, for this concealment seems to keep your identification safe from the "attack" of truth.
If you but understood how much this strange concealment has hurt your mind and how confused your own identification has become because of it! You do not see how great the devastation wrought by your faithlessness. For faithlessness is an attack which seems to be justified by its results. For by withholding faith, you see what is unworthy of it and cannot look beyond the barrier to what is joined with you.
To have faith is to heal. It is the sign that you have accepted the Atonement for yourself and would therefore share it. By faith you offer the gift of freedom from the past, which you received. You do not use anything your brother has done before to condemn him
. You freely choose to overlook his errors, looking past all barriers between your self and his and seeing them as one. And in that one you see your faith is fully justified. There
no justification for faithlessness, but faith is
Faith is the opposite of fear, as much a part of love as fear is of attack. Faith is the acknowledgment of union. It is the gracious acknowledgment of everyone as a Son of your most loving Father, loved by Him like you and therefore loved by you as yourself. It is His love that joins you, and for His love you would keep no one separate from yours. Each one appears just as he is perceived in the holy instant, united in your purpose to be released from guilt. You saw the Christ in him, and he was healed because you looked on what makes faith forever justified in everyone.
Faith is the gift of God, through Him Whom God has given you. Faithlessness looks upon the Son of God and judges him unworthy of forgiveness. But through the eyes of faith, the Son of God is seen already forgiven, free of all the guilt he laid upon himself. Faith sees him only
because it looks not to the past to judge him, but would see in him only what it would see in you. It sees not through the body's eyes nor looks to bodies for its justification. It is the messenger of the new perception sent forth to gather witnesses unto its coming and to return their messages to you. Faith is as easily exchanged for knowledge as is the real world. For faith arises from the Holy Spirit's perception and is the sign you share it with Him. Faith is a gift you offer to the Son of God through Him, and wholly acceptable to his Father as to him. And therefore offered you.
Your holy relationship, with its new purpose, offers you faith to give unto each other. Your faithlessness had driven you apart, and so you did not recognize salvation in each other. Yet faith unites you in the holiness you see, not through the body's eyes but in the sight of Him Who joined you and in Whom you are united. Grace is not given to a body, but to a
. And the mind that receives it looks instantly beyond the body and sees the holy place where it was healed. There is the altar where the grace was given, in which it stands. Do you, then, offer grace and blessing to each other, for you stand at the same altar where grace was laid for both of you. And be you healed by grace together, that you may heal through faith.
In the holy instant, you stand before the altar God has raised unto Himself and both of you. Lay faithlessness aside and come to it together. There will you see the miracle of your relationship as it was made again through faith. And there it is that you will realize that there is nothing faith cannot forgive. No error interferes with its calm sight, which brings the miracle of healing with equal ease to all of them. For what the messengers of love are sent to do
they do
, returning the glad tidings that it was done to you who stand together before the altar from which they were sent forth.
As faithlessness will keep your little kingdoms barren and separate, so will faith help the Holy Spirit prepare the ground for the most holy garden which He would make of it. For faith brings peace, and so it calls on truth to enter and make lovely what has already been prepared for loveliness. Truth follows faith and peace, completing the process of making lovely which they begin. For faith is still a learning goal, no longer needed when the lesson has been learned. Yet truth will stay forever.
Let then your dedication be to the eternal and learn how not to interfere with it and make it slave to time. For what you think you do to the eternal you do to
. Whom God created as His Son is slave to nothing, being lord of all along with his Creator. You can enslave a body, but an
is free, incapable of being kept in prison or limited in any way except by the mind that thought it. For it remains joined to its source, which is its jailor or its liberator, according to which it chooses as its purpose for itself.

Endocrine Society Focuses on Transgender Care, Drug Pricing, EDCs and more at AMA HOD
Endocrinology Advocacy
Not all topics of relevance to endocrinologists are about specific conditions and diseases. Sometimes, doctors need information about changes in the medical field or the field of endocrinology. Changes to medical insurance legislation, drug trial regulations and even patient privacy legislation all impact a practitioner's way of doing business and practicing medicine. Yet keeping track of these details is not always easy. That's why Endocrine News has organized articles and news pieces on these topics into this advocacy page. Here, practitioners can find the information gathered by the Endocrine Society, a leading endocrinology advocacy organization, conveniently in one location.
Important Advocacy Information From the Endocrine Society
As an endocrinology advocacy organization, the Endocrine Society is constantly working to advocate for endocrinologists and their patients, both in the government and in various research centers across the country. Here on Endocrine News, you can stay informed about these efforts and their results, so you are well aware of what changes may be coming that affect your practice. This is an invaluable resource for doctors who wish to spend their time focusing on their patients, rather than advocating for their practices, but also wish to stay informed about what is happening in the field.
Both Clinical and Research Advocacy Information
On the Advocacy page, Endocrine News provides advocacy information relevant to both those in the research field and those practicing on a clinical level. Stay up to date with the activities of the Endocrine Society, learn more about the legislation that affects your work, and see highlights of leading researchers who are pioneering not only advances in the practice but also advocacy for endocrinology as a field. By utilizing the resources on the Advocacy page, you will be better equipped to meet the needs of your patients while staying abreast on the changes affecting the industry.

Sigh, much as I basically agree with you, a number of our serious contributors also use gmail, etc, these days. Not to mention the PhD students who wouldn't like to be excluded ;-) Do these PhD students' schools not have their own domain name? :-) Note that it's possible to let gmail manage email to/from addresses that use other domain names. See:http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/tEaJstfhzeI The problem is not the 'gmail' service per se (provided that you don't mind your email being scanned :-). The problem is the "@gmail.com" email address suffix, which advertises to the world that you're not particularly relevant.

Crocs recently released a new style for kids that is much more versatile than any other of the previous styles. By versatile I mean that children can wear this Crocs style for longer periods of time and for different activities.
I always advice to parents on why they should never let their children run when wearing Crocs, since they don't provide any support or stability at all.
Things have changed since this new style got released.
Crocs came up with a sandal that comes with a more secure "stay-on" fit to keep up with your busy kids. Children will be able to be active and play in these sandals, and they will be able to wear them for longer periods of time.
I have been fitting children's shoes for the last 10 years, working at a specialized children's shoe store that focuses on children with foot and leg pain, but we provide regular shoe fittings as well.
If you have read any of my previous articles, you should know by now that I only recommend children shoes that are well made, supportive, and durable.
The main advantages of this new Crocs style is that your child can wear it for longer periods of time (5 to 8 hours a day), it provides more stability since it comes with a hook and loop closure (this means that your child can be active and play, and it comes with a more substantial sole (this will minimize the impact that your kids' feet take when they come in contact with the ground).
Parents love how affordable this new Crocs style is (it retails for ($24.42), how easy it is to clean (most parents use a water hose when children bring this sandal back from the beach), and how it is supportive but lightweight and flexible at the same time.
I have always been hesitant to fit children in Crocs, since I always felt that there were so many other better options out there. I am happy to finally be able to recommend a shoe style made by Crocs that is versatile and will keep your kids' feet and legs healthy.
One of the features that parents and children love the most about Crocs is how easy they are for kids to put on and take off. Parents love the independence that Crocs provide to their kids, and kids love how comfortable the shoes are.
Furthermore, parents used to provide their children with a pair of summer sandals such as Keen, Teva, or Jambu, in addition to their Crocs. But now, this new Crocs style can become your kids summer sandal and you won't need to purchase an additional pair.
What Makes This New Crocs Style So Special? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I mentioned before that this new style that Crocs released its the best style that the company has created so far.
Let me explain you why…
The main difference between this Crocs style and the previous ones is that this style comes with a hook and loop closure that makes it easy to get on and off, and you can fine-tune the fit more than the previous Crocs styles. Take a look at the picture below to see where the hook and loop closure is located:
This Crocs style also provide a lot of cushion since it comes with a substantial sole, which makes them much more comfortable than any other Crocs style:
The third feature that this new Crocs style provides is a secure strap on the back that will keep your kids' heels secure and prevent them from moving up and down. This feature will also prevent your child from getting blisters.
Should Children Wear Crocs or Not? – Let's Find Out!
Parents are always asking me whether children should wear Crocs or not. I always tell them that Crocs are fine as long as the child wears them for very short period of time and don't run in them.
The great thing about this new style isthat children can wear it for longer periods of time and be active and play in them.
Before I show you this style, I want to make sure that you know how to provide your child with the correct shoe size. Most parents are buying their kids' shoe online, since most fitting children's shoe store have been closing down.
Start by taking a look at a map I created where I describe the best fitting children's shoe stores by state:
The Best Kids' Shoe Stores – Where To Go For Proper Fittings
If you still can't seem to find a shoe store in your area, then proceed by taking a look at an article which will show you the simplest, yet most effective way to figure out your child's foot size from home:
How to Measure Kids Shoe Size from Home – In Les than 30 Seconds!
If you don't provide your kids with the correct shoe size, they won't get any of the benefits that the shoes have to offer, that is the reason why I want to make sure you know how to provide your children with the correct shoe size.
The Best Crocs for Kids Reviewed ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Now that you know how to provide your child with the correct shoe size and what features this new Crocs style provides, let's take a look the best Crocs for kids.
Disclosure: Keep in mind that we may receive commissions when you click our links and make purchases.
Additional Colors AvailableAdditional Colors Available
This Crocs style will fit a child with medium, wide, or extra wide feet, but keep in mind that it won't fit a child with narrow feet.
In order to allow for growing room, I highly recommend that parents order this shoe style a half a size larger than the size their children's feet measure. This translates to 0.3 inches or 0.7 centimeters of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoes.
Please keep in mind that Crocs don't come in half sizes, so if your child measures a foot size 9, then you will have to provide your child with a size 10 (since the 91/2 won't be available).
Now you can take advantage of this new Crocs style and your child can wear it as his/her every day air of summer sandals.
Have you tried this new Crocs style yet? Please share your thoughts and experiences below so other parents can benefit from them.

Expect your annual grocery bill to climb $400 in 2019
Canada's annual food price report is predicting a significant in food prices next year, but the biggest impact might be for those who are fighting each day to avoid hunger.
Marco Amati has been doing what he can to keep the shelves stocked at Loaves and Fishes in Sydney heading into the holidays, but news Tuesday that food prices are going up in the New Year isn't the Christmas gift he was looking for.
"I say our numbers are going to rise," Amati said.
The cost of food will go up between 1.5 and 3.5 per cent in 2019 according to the latest annual food price report - done by researchers at the University of Guelph and Dalhousie.
That means the average Canadian family will pay roughly $400 more next year for groceries.
"We have to do more shopping, go through all the flyers that we can, try to find the bargains because if it's going up," Amati said. "That means we're maybe going to see more people this year because they can't afford it."
It's also tough news in a country trying to curb child poverty.
In Cape Breton, where roughly one in three children lives below the poverty line, groups trying to help say they'll be feeling the pinch too.
"The programs like the breakfast programs, lunch programs, backpack programs that we fund become more important, more vital," said Lynne McCarron. "Food banks become more important."
The biggest price jumps, at between four and six per cent, are for vegetables, which are not only some of the healthiest foods, but often among the hardest to come by at food banks like this one.
"There's a lot of good people out there," Amati said. "They donate a lot of vegetables, a lot of potatoes, and we're really blessed to have that here, but as the time goes on, I could see that it might diminish."
There is some good news, though. The prices of meat and seafood are expected to go down, but with studies showing Canadians are eating fewer animal-based foods, and more veggies, that may be cold comfort.
