by Funmi Iyanda
Yesterday brother Eleyinmi visited, that really is his name.
He was an elder but not just any elder, he was a revered one because he was rich or at least we thought he was. He knows this so he carries himself as an elder who was rich and revered, speaking quietly and slowly. I suspect he thinks us deaf or retarded, poor people usually are, retarded, not deaf, so they say.
He came to see daddy, he has a special decibel of deaf retard reserved for my father because daddy was not a good brother, never mind an elder, although he was not much younger than brother Eleyinmi. You see, my father is a brother who drank which is bad enough but he is also a brother who is single, his wife having disappeared 6 years previously. Who knows if it was his drinking that disappeared her or so l hear them say.
Now brother Eleyinmi is not only a rich elder, he is also a happily married elder to a sister who is as slight of build as she is of voice. She is perfect; dutiful, unspeaking and non-distracting of person or personality. Brother Eleyinmi always seems happy although I've never seen sister Eleyinmi laugh.
Brother Eleyinmi and his rich authority came with a few less rich authority brothers to have the marriage talk with daddy. They have been coming a lot lately. They sit gingerly to dodge the browned cotton stuffing peeping out of the sofa which used to be orange but now looked like dried vomit. I know that orange because l picked it three years ago when we moved from the shop in Shomolu into our own flat with its own toilet. I know dried vomit because I've washed it often. The elders sat, dripping disdain on the sofa and refusing the Fanta bottles daddy offered, which was as well, it was our last few bottles.
They had found daddy a suitable sister to marry.
I have been dreading this day not because l didn't want my father to marry but because he had found himself someone he'd like to marry, a sister, but she was a bad sister, really bad. She was always talking, always arguing, always laughing and having real conversations with us. She wore brightly coloured clothing, high shoes and lipstick. She cooked exotic things like lamb with couscous and made pretty dresses. She made me the perfectly pleated blue silk skirt with a yellow and black blouse which l loved and wore everywhere. She reminded me of my mother or my rather vague memory of her.
The blue skirt went with a cream silk bib blouse she made. I was going to be her maid of honour when she married my dad.
She was remarkable sister Cornelia, one of those refugees from Liberia who had made it to Nigeria, the church had taken a few in who professed to share the faith, sometimes l wondered if sister Cornelia was a real Jehovah's Witness or if she just said so to get support from the church, she seemed too vibrant, too alive, l had never met any sister like her.
I like the Liberians, we had this mother and her 9-year-old daughter staying with us last year. l have forgotten their names but the girl entertained us with realistic sounds of machine guns and airplanes dropping bombs, so much so those idiots downstairs who think themselves better than us would panic. In truth, everyone was better than us but the Liberians didn't think so, neither did sister Cornelia who was not a good sister.
She liked to read, not just the bible but real books and magazines which was great because l like books, She also liked to dance and play music but the worst bad thing about her was that she was almost mulatto yellow, real high yellow with long un-permed coils and a very pretty face. She was slim too, like daddy. God knows what she saw in him although l suppose he is a good looking man. l always thought she could do better but hoped to God she wouldn't. I suspect all these elders were just jealous of daddy on account of his good fortunes but thinking like that is a sin, along with masturbation, which I'm praying to Jehovah about.
Sister Cornelia had grown up sons who had made it to America during the war, they travelled on a war ship which sounded exciting until she told me about how she travelled on another war ship to Nigeria eating tinned beans and nothing else. I don't like beans. She talked about taking us to America, which made me giddy with joy, who does not know that America was the place of dreams.
Anyways I loved sister Corny, she said l could call her that and so did the boys, my three brothers don't love anyone easily. Daddy certainly loved her, he was always beaming when she was around. He was also scared of her so he drank less as she won't have him drinking around her, we were always helping him hide his bottle of Guinness if she came unannounced.
I asked if she planned more children, she said no because she had us four and those sons in America. She talked about birth control which l wasn't sure was not a sin.
For the first time in our rather bleak lives since maami went missing, there was light and fun and good food in our home.
Then brother Eleyinmi and his authority started visiting to talk to daddy about marriage, not to sister Corny but to more suitable sisters.
I eavesdropped on their conversations and told sister Corny what was going on, pleading with her not to leave us, or daddy.
Maybe l should have pleaded with daddy but l wasn't mad, no one talks about emotions with parents.
One day last month sister Corny came and packed her things, all the silks and china, the sewing machine and the magazines, all the beauty and light. She cried and l cried too, the boys stood by forlorn, boys don't cry. Daddy was not there.
So yesterday when brother Eleyinmi came with his own authority and those other brothers with their lesser authorities. l knew by their restrained disdain they had found daddy a wife.
A good sister, dutiful and sure to blend nicely with the drab of our flat.
Daddy has been married almost two years now, not to the sister that brother Eleyinmi found but to another good sister, a sister so full of love for Jehovah, he must be high fiving angel Gabriel. She is sister Ireti.
She and l are not talking now because we fought over a brother who wanted to marry me. That happened last week. My step mum Ireti is tall, full figured and pretty, daddy must have something. She had my baby sister last year and called her JehovahTosin, which I personally thought was an overkill, Oluwatosin is just as good.
Tosin is a gorgeous baby who follows me everywhere, we both look like daddy.
We call my step mum Mama Tosin.
They say I'm a moody and intense teenager; mama Tosin is loud and haphazard, more dutiful to Jehovah than to daddy but they like each other, I think. Not Jehovah and mama Tosin, that would be weird, but daddy and mama Tosin although if Jehovah can like anybody, he must really like her, she loves him. I like books and music, nothing else. I don't think boys like me, the one time l had gone with Ronke to visit her boyfriend, his creepy friend had tried to touch my breasts, they were not even a good size. I didn't know Jehovah Witness girls could have boyfriends outside the church but Ronke was so beautiful, who could blame them, or her. I don't believe the few boys who say I'm pretty, l think they just want to have sex, which is a sin. I'm determined not to have sex or get pregnant or anything stupid like that. I'm going to university somehow. Maami told me l must before she went missing, what if she came back?
I think I'm a good sister, there are no sister elders, however old you get; women cannot be elders, just sister. So l was a sister, a dutiful one who had preached almost every street from mile 2 to navy town. I was a star sister, a regular pioneer and good debater. Aside from being a good sister, I only really wanted to go to university. I didn't know how to do this because there is SAP and daddy had left his job. He was also drinking more and had still not been made an elder because of course, he wasn't rich, he drank and liked music and lightness. Who can respect that? In truth it wasn't fair to expect his love for music and lightness to die just like that, it only disappeared a bit when his wife went missing. He always said if his tyrant father hadn't stopped him he would have joined Roy Chicago and toured the world playing music. But maybe that's just drink talk.
Anyway, I have finished WAEC and my grades are good so l need money for JAMB and university. I've started teaching English and maths to more fortunate children in the estate, l had refused to hawk on the street as my mama Tosin suggested. She always has these survivalist ideas, l always have expansionist ideas that my ego could live with. I hear they say I'm proud.
Teaching from house to house wasn't easy either especially as l had to convince parents and get referrals when l was the daughter of a brother who drank. I am bad at maths so I have to teach myself so l could teach the children. The parents always treat me like l don't exist except sometimes when the fathers squeeze my breasts, l hate them squeezing my breasts, they are not even big. Since we can only afford one meal a day, it is tough teaching whilst these families cooked dinners so I've learnt to feel full on the smell of cooking food. They never offer you food.
Mama Tosin is lukewarm about university, she thinks that if l must go then it's best l went in there as a married sister to protect me from a place the devil roams wildly in.
My grandpa Ida-Ogun also thinks this. He said universities were the devil's footstool and there was no point to worldly education when Armageddon was so near. He is still a tyrant but he is rich so he is an elder. He and daddy started talking again after maami disappeared because well daddy had to start talking to someone didn't he? He also needed help with us four, so he became a Jehovah's Witness again which made grandpa Ida-Ogun pleased, he never seems happy with anything. I have never seen him laugh.
It seems that although l was a good sister, dutiful, quiet and respectful, no one trusts me. Maybe it's because my quiet is reclusive and no one seems to be able to get into my head. Frankly, l just hate my life and I want to be an adult and a doctor.
So it was that mama Tosin, concocted a plan to match make me with this man who worked in an oil company. She was blissfully unaware that the old and gross man -I hear he's almost 30- had already been giving me bad vibes with lecherous moves. Brother or no, l can always tell the ones who want to get into my pants but I'm determined to go to university and become a doctor.
Last week he came visiting bearing gifts, which he handed to me in a shopping bag. There was that new Seiko watch, the one everyone wanted badly, a bottle of Samsara perfume and 50 naira.
Mama Tosin went to the kitchen for some reason. In that time he stepped up to me and tried to hug me, his penis poking my long skirt like all those stupid men on the bus to school.
I really don't know what came over me but a blinding rage travelled through my belly button and flung the gift bag out of our second-floor window. It landed back on the formerly orange sofa because the window had mosquito netting and burglar bars. I was so mad; l tore the netting with my bare hands and tossed the bag out through the bars.
Everybody has been angry with me since because you can't talk emotions with parents. Daddy isn't laughing or playing music as much these days, it is almost as if he is an elder even though they haven't made him one still. I miss my daddy.
Maybe I'll slip one of my long letters to him through the floor of their bedroom. That used to work.
If he asked me l would have told him that l was appalled that this man and everyone else thought that of all the possibilities open to me at age 16, the best was marriage which seemed the least intelligent survivalist option. I couldn't communicate how disgusted and belittled l felt. Nothing about it made me feel excited or hopeful. The thought of it made me feel entrapped and frightened.
I hate feeling trapped.
I still hate feeling trapped.

Yes, Sleeper supports Taxi Squads.
Taxi squads, also known as practice squads, are becoming more popular in dynasty fantasy football leagues and offers the option of stashing rookies in additional slots that don't count against your roster limit.
There are 3 settings that affect Taxi Squads in League Settings.
1. Taxi Slots
You can turn on Taxi Squads by setting the number of Taxi Slots.
2. Taxi Deadline
This is the deadline for which you must finalize your Taxi Squads for your rookies.
The default is Week 1 of the season, but this can be adjusted to a different week.
3. Taxi Years
This is the number of years you can stash a player until they are forced to come off the Taxi Squad. For example, if Taxi Years is set to 3 years, then a Rookie must come off the Taxi Squad in his 4th year or the owner cannot make lineup changes or add/waiver players.
Note: At the moment, you cannot add direct-to-taxi. However, what you can do is increase the bench by one, add rookies, and move them to taxi one by one.
Additionally, another way is to do a separate rookie-only draft, this would allow your team to go over the limit since it's from a draft, giving you the ability to move rookies to taxi.

Fordyce spots are a skin disorder, affecting both men and women, which manifest through small, round, painless and asymptomatic pale bumps or granules appearing mostly on the penis shaft or scrotum (in men), on the labia (in women) and on the lips (in both genders). Renew Skin & Health Clinic comes to your aid yet with another professional Fordyce spots removal treatment, which is tailored according to your individual needs and requirements.
Also called angiokeratoma of the scrotum, sebaceous prominence, Fordyce granules or Fordyce's condition, this skin disorder is in fact represented by ectopic sebaceous glands, which are not associated to any dermatological disease or illness. Like in the case of the Pearly Penile Papules, the Fordyce spots are simply a cosmetic issue, hindering people from having a normal sexual activity as these growths may be mistaken for various sexually transmitted diseases.
Dermatologists at Renew Skin & Health Clinic consider that the main cause of the Fordyce spots is sebum or the oily secretion of the sebaceous glands. Generally, the oil is secreted through an opening into the hair follicle, but since these are ectopic sebaceous glands and they are displaced, the sebum gets trapped and has no outlet to be eliminated from the body. Hence, the formation of these small, pale bumps. The positive aspect about the lack of a hair follicle opening, is that it prevents possible future skin infections.
Nevertheless, if you desire to have these unaesthetic Fordyce spots removed, Renew Skin & Health Clinic is your solution. Our highly specialized and experienced dermatologists are at your disposal with various treatments, of which the most effective is radiosurgery, a non-surgical electrodessication method that also ensures superior cosmetic results, as there is virtually no scarring involved.
Alternative Fordyce spots removal treatments may also include the CO2 laser, or Pulsed dye lasers which are generally used for sebaceous gland affections and have proved to be very effective in making the spots less visible. Another alternative procedure would be the micro-punch technique. Less invasive Fordyce spots removal alternative treatments include tretinoid cream or the thrichloroacetic acid chemical peel, which penetrates deep into the skin, causing the lesions to peel off afterwards.
The alternative Fordyce spots removal treatments also include home treatments and natural remedies, such as diets rich in garlic, which is a powerful antioxidant in healing wounds and infections, fruit and vegetables rich in vitamins B, A, C, D, E and K, applying Argania and Jojoba oils with Tocopherol extract on the affected areas.
Nevertheless, our dermatologists at Renew Skin & Health Clinic always suggest a professional consultation and skin examination before applying or undergoing any Fordyce spots removal treatment as there are alternative procedures which may suit you better. We all know that each individual reacts differently to treatment approaches, and the only one who can decide and recommend you such an alternative treatment is a specialist. So do not hesitate to contact our Renew Skin & Health Clinic Head Office to schedule an appointment with one of our highly experienced specialists for a proper and successful Fordyce spots removal alternative treatment.

She's not saying it's aliens, but … actually, Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera does say it was aliens. In an interview on Spanish-language TV eight years ago, the Republican primary candidate for the House seat due to be vacated by Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's retirement claims she was taken up into an alien spaceship for a tour when she was seven years old. Rodriguez Aguilera also claims that the three aliens have remained in telepathic contact with her ever since.
So what do aliens look like? Kind of like Thor and Brünnhilde, apparently:
Three blond, big-bodied beings — two females, one male — visited her when she was 7 years old and have communicated telepathically with her several times in her life, she says. (Sen. Bill Nelson served as payload officer aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1986. All seven people aboard were from Earth. As far as is known.)
Rodriguez Aguilera, 59, a Republican who is running to replace retiring Miami Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, recounted her experience with the ETs during a 2009 television interview.
She described "going up" inside the spaceship — though whether it went into space or just hovered around town was left unclear.
"I went in. There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship — not like airplanes," Rodriguez Aguilera said.
After this emerged, Rodriguez Aguilera stressed her Christianity — and cited the Vatican and Jimmy Carter in attempting to dismiss the story:
"For years people, including presidents like Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter and astronauts have publicly claimed to have seen unidentified flying objects and scientists like Stephen Hawking and institutions like the Vatican have stated that there are billions of galaxies in the universe and we are probably not alone," she told the Miami Herald on Friday.
"I personally am a Christian and have a strong belief in God, I join the majority of Americans who believe that there must be intelligent life in the billions of planets and galaxies in the universe."
Fortunately, Republicans in FL-27 will have other options in next year's primary, although not all of them will be out of this world. Miami-Dade commissioner Bruno Barreiro supported Trump in 2016, while former school board member Raquel Regaldo opposed Trump, which seems to be the main dividing line these days in the GOP. The problem in FL-27 is that it now leans Democrat; it has a Cook rating of D+5, which makes Ros-Lehtinen's retirement a tricky moment for the GOP. A Trump-opposing candidate may not survive the primary, but a Trump-supporting nominee may have serious trouble getting enough support to keep the seat from flipping.
Over the weekend, the Miami Herald analyzed the race among Democratic candidates, highlighting the eighth announced contender, Miami city commissioner Ken Russell. Before going into politics, Russell made a living as a professional yo-yo player, and quipped to the Herald, "Some might say that Washington has enough yo-yos so that one more won't be noticed." That's probably true, but consider what a wealth of blog posts would ensue from a general election between a yo-yo artist and an alien-telepath.
Here are two clips and a link, the first of which is the interview from 2009 in which Rodriguez Aguilera reveals her experience not just in international relations but in interstellar relations. The second clip is where everyone might recognize the story, and this link explains why I'll get legit nastygrams for posting the second.

30 Jul How to Get Rid of Constipation Fast & Quick
10 Tips on How to Get Rid of Constipation Fast & Naturally
Hate spending what seems like hours in the bathroom, trying to clear your bowels? Constipation is one of the most common digestive complaints, and it often also has impacts on your overall well-being, affecting your day, mood and even energy levels.
If you're looking for some solid advice about how to get rid of constipation fast and effectively, we've got you covered! Here's a quick list of the 10 tried and tested most effective home remedies for constipation.
Apart from keeping cholesterol levels in check, garlic also helps curb most digestive complaints thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory action. Chewing on raw garlic or adding it to your diet can help.
Flaxseed is a rich source of healthy fats and fiber, both of which help soften the stools naturally and make its passage easier. Add a teaspoon or two to your oatmeal breakfast or smoothie.
Exercising is one of the best ways to stimulate bowel movement naturally, especially if you don't really have any physical activity during the day. Try yoga poses to relieve constipation or simply get out for a jog.
Lemon Juice
There aren't any scientific studies confirming the efficacy of lemon juice when it comes to tackling constipation, but those who've tried it swear by its effectiveness. Having a glass of water with lemon juice and honey the first thing in the morning can be an effective way to detox naturally.
Aloe Vera
The uses of aloe vera aren't just limited to skin health- it has been used as a natural laxative for years. Fresh aloe vera gel, when consumed, can help stimulate bowel movement and reduce toughness of the stools.
[clickToTweet tweet="Aloe vera, prune juice & more! Check out the best home remedies for #constipation!" quote="Aloe vera, prune juice & more! Check out the best home remedies for #constipation! via @BeautyJOnline"]
Apple Cider Vinegar
If you're not sure about how to get rid of constipation fast, apple cider vinegar is just the thing for you! Just having 2 teaspoons before all three meals can help improve digestion and provide relief from constipation.
Herbal Tea
Herbal teas can prove to be an effective home remedy for constipation, especially for those who don't really focus on keeping track of their fluid intake. Drinking more fluids helps soften the stool and makes its passage easier.
Prune Juice
Prune juice is another super natural remedy for constipation. It tends to soften stools and add bulk to it thanks to its fiber rich content.
Figs are probably the most underrated home remedy for constipation. They pack in a ton of fiber, and having more of them can stimulate bowel movement fast.
While there's no study to back this one up, consuming the juice of spinach is thought to help make passage of stools easier, possibly due to the fiber content of spinach.

By Phoenix the Elder – Water 101 – Dr. Masaru Emoto back in late 1990s wrote a book from his experiments of attaching different messages (words) and taped these words to the bottles filled with with water samples to see what crystals formed. He tested under a microscope how the crystals would appear negative or positive depending upon the word (after he froze them in a freezer). Some of the messages were: "Love and Gratitude and Thank you," and others were "I Hate you and Swastika. Each had different results.
Emoto used Science's Sun & Logic in his experiments, that would be like trying to do moon astrology with a sun astrology foundation, it sounds good and sun and moon do cross similar paths in astrology and life, but astrology is according to the mental body, and emotional | soul body are feelings, a different realities because of reflective rather than objective.
Sun and Moon realities within us, have different outcomes in life, just like they do outside of us. For example someone who is sensitive and takes things personal is undeveloped emotionally in their emotional body, and must go through decades of emotional body teachings or awakenings, same too for water experiments because water is the vast majority of the earth and it is very developed in nature and as old as the earth and was once pure but is now extremely polluted. So too is our past life moon body in its karmic sense.
Water is also a reality of the receptive and although he did the right experiments with "intention of words" and saw "results" he didn't see the mirror of himself in the experiment and his own belief systems effect the outcome. His personal issues and his personal fears mirroring from within his body (the water/blood) and the outer water in the bottles of the experiment. Those cannot be separated and would reflect in the results.
Every empath and every sensitive person knows or must learn that emotions are different every single day according to those in their personal spaces, that is mirror and reflective reality. Those who don't have highs and lows everyday emotionally from others in their space are not empaths but slightly sensitive and regular emotions like the majority of people. If Emoto had done his experiments if he was going through very strong emotional burdens and sorrows because his mother just died, all of the experiments would have been inconsistent and different.
Chaos, Chaos Magic and Chaos Medicines all comes from Chaos within the emotional body and soul's bodies. Not the Mind/Body of Science of Emoto's level is purely mind body. And science for the last 2,000 years has determined everyone's reality when it comes to the basis of reality. Not the emotional basis of reality, that was caste aside as: "Don't be so crazy, don't be so emotional, settle down or we will put you in the guillotine responses from the left brained mental bodied rulership we all lived in our past lives and lives up until 1980.
If he would have taken 10 female Buddhist monks or female Navajo Shamans of all ages, and then tested the positive powerful symbol of the Swastika and its 12,000 Year history, 8 to 9 out of 10 would have formed a positive crystal. But do the same experiment on 4 billion others who have learned or remembered World War 2, and the results would have been negative. That is how Sun Science works and scientific results have nothing to do with emotional and soul reality on this planet. The four billion would have had "negative" crystals form because their emotional body and soul body is not clear of their karma, nor their association with pain. Moon, Water and Fire work together, Mind and Body work together, but the moon is anti science reality.
Water and water rituals are very personal, transparent and picks up the persons beliefs, feelings and co-creates with the water itself which is receptive. So if you do it with a pure medicine person or shaman who has worked on all their issues and healed them, your results will be stronger. If you healer or shaman (or drug plant shaman) is still greatly struggling with their own issues or don't have much of an emotional life but a life of wanting power, then the results would be just like Dr Emoto.
The Durango high school kids below retested Dr. Emoto's experiments. We must use their age as a factor because they are not older like Emoto and they are not from an emotionally repressive culture like Japan. Their emotional bodies are young and do not their "values" yet because of age, and because they don't know what their values are, they don't know anything about the adult body, its beliefs, karma which is different than youth and maiden's bodies under 30 years old. Nor do they even understand their their own prejudices yet. They retested science again within Sun Logic method.
One last note, the teens had said…
Replicating Emoto's experiment proved to be a little more challenging than we originally thought it would be. Dr. Emoto got most of his water samples from the mountains of Japan; we had to settle with water from the Animas River, and other various water samples. This may have created a discrepancy in our conclusions, but both experiments tested the effect of thought on water, so the water type should have had no bearing on our results.
Age makes a difference, maturity is an emotional path of time, knowledge and attaining knowledge is a mental passage of time, so these teens don't have 10, 20 or 30 years of stress, emotional relationship issue build up, decade build ups of medication, drugs, pot, etc, adult issues, children, mortgages, beliefs etc . That would be the first effect on the water. Second, working with water for decades as a folk healer and dreamer myself, the type of water would have made an immense difference on the results because water is a living energy and has a visible physical presence.
The experiment of even "freezing" water would have tied into theirs and Emoto's unconscious emotional states and past life karma. Also the amount of pollution, where the water was gotten from, how pure it was, if its exposed to sun a lot or clouds etc, all make a difference when working with water in general, and mandatory in water rituals as healing, or experiments such as this.
When people do water rituals with me for healing, I make sure its the purest as possible and blessed by the full moon all night and given words from my pure emotional and dharmic body the blessings the water will receive.
AP Psychology Class, Durango High School, May 25, 2004
Students Amanda White, Robbie Else, Scott Wilson, Damian Nash (teacher).
In an Advanced Placement Psychology class at Durango High School our group attempted to replicate Dr. Masaru Emoto's water experiments. In his studies, Dr. Emoto showed a correlation between thoughts or messages and the formation of water crystals.
Original Methods: In his experiment Dr. Emoto used about fifty different water sources varying from glacial water in Japanese mountains to filtered water from a faucet. Dr. Emoto attached different messages to each water sample and even had a Buddhist monk bless some of them. Some of the messages were: "Love and Gratitude," "Thank you," and "You make me sick."
He included a variety of positive and negative thoughts. He then froze the water samples on Petri dishes in a freezer at -4 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 hours. His stated results showed a strong correlation between the message and the formation of the water crystals. Water samples with optimistic messages on them created "nice-looking" crystals and the ones with pessimistic messages created "ugly" crystals.
Dr. Emoto's experiment appears to have overlooked certain variables, and some of his conclusions may be based on assumptions that are not necessarily true. For example, Dr. Emoto failed to realize that there are hundreds of crystals in one drop of water, and through "experimenter bias" he may have subconsciously noticed certain crystals while disregarding others because of the suggestion of a certain message. In other words, he could have looked through thousands of crystals to find a beautiful one if he knew the message was a positive one, and — consciously or unconsciously — he could have looked for an ugly crystal if he knew the message was a negative one.
Dr. Emoto does not state if the experiment was a double blind study, in which he was unaware of which messages were attached to which water sample, a measure that would eliminate this kind of experimenter bias. Because of this, we do not know if Emoto only photographed the "pretty" crystals because of the positive messages or was unconsciously drawn to ugly crystals when he looked at samples with negative messages.
His experiment is also open to diverse interpretations. He implies that certain crystal structures may reflect the thought that was attached to them, but he fails to recognize that there may be other relevant interpretations for analyzing the crystal formations. Because of the unnoticed variables in the experiment, our high-school A.P. Psychology group decided to try to remake Dr. Emoto's experiment.
Our Methods:
Replicating Dr. Emoto's experiment proved to be a little more challenging than we originally thought it would be. Dr. Emoto got most of his water samples from the mountains of Japan; we had to settle with water from the Animas River, and other various water samples. This may have created a discrepancy in our conclusions, but both experiments tested the effect of thought on water, so the water type should have had no bearing on our results.
We also used a control group for each type of water: A sample that had no message attached. We had five different types of water: Dasani, tap water, river water, filtered tap water, and tap water from a different location. Each type of water was labeled with a color, and for each type we attached 5 different messages to 5 different microscope slides containing the water sample, as well as having one "control" slide with no message. So all together we made 30 slides.The messages we used were "I despise you," "You make me sick," "Thank you," "Love and Gratitude," and "You are beautiful."
We taped the messages, as well as a piece of colored paper that corresponded to the water type, onto the bottom of each slide. We were unaware of which message was on which slide in each water group. Although we took special precautions and were careful about experimenter bias, our experiment was not as wide-scale as Dr. Emoto's.We didn't have nearly as many samples as Dr. Emoto did.
Another difficulty we faced was the temperature of the freezer and the time that we left the water in the freezer. Our freezer ranged from -2 to -10 degrees Fahrenheit, while Emoto's was at -4 degrees. This created different freezing times for the water samples.We had to wait until a thin layer of crystals was just beginning to form on the surface of the water before we could analyze them underneath our microscope, but at the same time, we could not let the water freeze completely or else we could not observe any crystals. We also used glass slides instead of Petri dishes, another source of possible discrepancy.
We did not find sufficient evidence to refute or accept Emoto's hypothesis that thought influences water crystal formation. We noticed one interesting similarity between two separate groups of water samples:
Similar crystals formed on the same message, "I despise you." (Phoenix note: I despise you would have been the negative emotional teen issue in the experiment.)
But, for the most part, the crystal formations in each water sample resembled each other, regardless of the messages attached to them. (Phoenix note: Teens are influenced very easily by their peers, especially emotionally.)
We concluded that in order to make a significant finding, further research would have to be done. So, for now, we will have to live with our curiosity and continue to wonder if our thoughts have the power to influence water and ultimately ourselves. (Phoenix note: Thoughts are detached from the emotional body or trigger deep emotional issues, but emotions reflect the pure state of being.)

Snow is something we don't get a lot of around here. Between the lake and being only 30 miles from the ocean the snow we do get is rarely more than an inch or so and is usually gone within a day or two. Well, not this year! It started snowing on February 8th with a gentle 3 or so inches before it stopped. But then on the 10th it snowed all day and we ended up with about 7 inches of new snow. Even though it was just above freezing here, everything was covered with a blanket of white! The 11th was another day of snow, but this time we probably only had about and inch. It was hard to measure since the earlier snow was melting. Today is Valentine's Day and even though the roads are all clear, there is still lots of snow on the roofs and the lawn.
Oh what fun! One day we put our snowshoes in the back of the car, just in case, and drove up to Maple Glade and Kestner Homestead. We were the only ones there. Imagine that! I can't think of anything more delightful than being out in a beautiful snowy rain forest trail and then coming back to a fire and a good book.

Happy New Year
Happy New Year!
It's a bit different already. For one, it started three hours fifty minutes after some student renters down the block woke us by ringing in the day with hollering in the street and shooting off bottle-rockets when Nate woke up, jiggled open his door and came upstairs to tell us he was awake by climbing into our bed. Maria finally got him to settle down at five and then he woke at seven to really start the day. I let her sleep and took a nap when he did. For another, I had been up for almost six hours, vacuumed the rugs, dragged the xmas tree to the curb, shovelled the walks, tried to build a snowman with Nate and was watching him play in the snow when a couple of twenty-something guys walked by looking very lost and I overhead one of them say to the other, "Yeaaah! And that's when you came out in your underwear!" It's different.

"Love was first begot by Mirth and Peace, in Eden, when the world was young. The man oppressed with cares, he cannot love; the man of gloom finds not the god. So, as youth, for the most part, has no cares, and knows no gloom, therefore, ever since time did begin, youth belongs to love. Love may end in grief and age, and pain and need, and all other modes of human mournfulness; but love begins in joy. Love's first sign is never breathed, till after love hath laughed. Love laughs first, and then sighs after. Love has not hands, but cymbals; Love's mouth is chambered like a bugle, and the instinctive breathings of his life breathe jubilee notes of joy!" (41–42)
It has been almost a year since I started my series on Melville, but I abandoned it after completing my reading of Moby-Dick. One of my goals this year is to roll up all these lose threads and starting looking at authors in complete sets. (We will see about Henry James—fourteen volumes—when we get there.) The third volume of the Library of America collection of Herman Melville includes his final three novels (Pierre, Israel Potter, and The Confidence-Man), the short-story collection The Piazza Tales, various prose writing—including some of his awesome stories and reviews—, and finally the posthumously published Billy Budd. Only the final work represents a return to sea fiction. Notice with me that Melville produced his six works of sea fiction between 1846 and 1851 (ponder that G.R.R. Martin). Pierre came out a year later in 1852. He had another period of rapid production between 1855 and 1857. During the rest of his life—he died in 1891, over twenty years after his friend Nathaniel Hawthorne died—he published only poems and some small pieces. Reviewers and his family thought Melville insane during this period. In order to meet expenses, Melville took a job from 1866 until 1885 as customs inspector for New York, following Hawthorne's path. But while the position served as a temporary measure for Hawthorne before he produced his great novels, the customs house would be were America's greatest writer would spend the rest of his days. He made only $10,400 from the sales of his books. How many great works are lost to us because of that job in the custom house?
Pierre, or the Ambiguities begins with Melville's praise for the "Majesty" of the Berkshires, followed almost immediately with the genealogical history of the tale's protagonist Pierre Glendinning, rooted in an aristocratic family. The contrast between the monarchical and aristocratic England with the democratic America is one of the major tensions through the story. While in Hawthorne we see the endurance of family traditions, in Melville's America these legacies are more distant and seem to have less hold, or at least are overwhelmed by the tide of democracy. In the first chapter is the quite political statement: "In our cities families rise and burst like bubbles in a vat. For indeed the democratic element operates as a subtile acid among us; forever producing new things by corroding the old." (13) A few pages later, he makes clear that the American elite migrate to the cities and build houses, while in Europe they would build country estates. Pierre was of the European type¬¬—a country aristocrat—in urbanizing America. What is left of Pierre's family maintains the symbols of aristocracy, but are truly a family in decline. The past generations are even taller, with more grand careers, and more "majesty." Moby-Dick thrust us right into the multiple, democratic world of the whaling whip. Pierre starts us someplace more static but moves us into the city, transforming the young Pierre Glendinning in the processes.
As the novel opens he is slated to marry Lucy. Soon enough Pierre learns that he has a half-sister Isabel, announced in the form of a letter. She announces her desire to see him and the deep connection she shares with him. The letter has a profound impact on Pierre who wants to seek out his sister rather than pursue the marriage with Luck. "Well may this head hang on my breast,—it holds too much; well may my heart knock at my ribs,—prisoner impatient of his iron bars. Oh, men are jailers all; jailers of themselves; and in Opinion's world ignorantly hold their noblest part a captive to their vilest." (110) With his commitment to seek out his sister, Melville shifts to telling the back story of Isabel. Unlike Pierre, who was raised by a matriarch intensely interested in dynasty and family reputation, Isabel was thrust into the world detached and in the wild. "Pierre, the lips that do now speak to thee, never touched a woman's breast; I seem not of women born. My first dim life-thoughts cluster round an old, half-ruinous house in some region, for which I now have no chart to seek it out. . . . It was a wild, dark house, planted in the midst of a round, cleared, deeply-sloping space, scooped out in the middle of deep stunted pine woods." (137)
Isabel seems to be a metaphor for America. In her early years, her only company were "an old man and woman," both all but silent toward her and only mumble about her to each other. Like Europe looking on the infant America. Isabel began to speak her own polyglot, language (again, like America). Isabel is eventually taken in by a woman, who educates her, especially in music. She still lacked any ties to her heritage, but her father was sending money in support.
In many ways, Pierre and Isabel seem to represent two sides of America. Isabel is longer in the wilderness, primal, free, musical, lacking the need for guidance of adults, liberated. Pierre is younger but closer to the mythical traditions of his family, more obedient to his family, and more civilized, growing up under relatively strict guidance. There is the America that could not entirely break free of European traditions of hierarchy, obedience and power: the side of America that was never quite comfortable with freedom.
After hearing the story of Isabel, Pierre decides to redeem her place in the family, which is attempts by marrying her. By telling her story, Isabel is able to pull Pierre away from his family and lead him on a path to rebellion.

RIVER, a 500W-rated, 5.5kg portable charging station, back-up generator and emergency battery developed and designed by EcoFlow, can be used both indoors and outdoors. The Li-Ion battery can be recharged via solar charger, car charger or wall charger. The latter two are included when you buy a RIVER. The new device, which is slated to begin shipping in June, is a dream for documentary makers.
The RIVER battery management system is unique in that it allows RIVER to automatically adjust its power output to what your device needs, regulate its temperature and connect individually to each of the 11 output ports so if one were to short circuit or max-out the other 10 continue charging.
RIVER has a streamlined look and is equipped with four USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, two DC 6mm outputs, two AC outputs and one 12V car port. RIVER gives you flow-through charging, meaning you can charge it while it's supplying power by devices. The device is made of several layers for security and robustness. It has an aluminium shell and integrated battery armour — the same kind that electric car manufacturers use.
The reasons why this new battery system may be such an ideal solution for documentary makers lies in its usability specifications. A RIVER can be used in temperatures ranging from 0° to 45° C and, while it isn't waterproof, its optional Protective Case is water resistant up to IP63 standards (rain, dust, sand, etc.). That case has a shoulder strap for easier carrying. In addition, one RIVER charges 11 devices simultaneously. Each device you plug in is sensed for its wattage needs. If RIVER senses nothing is plugged in, it will first turn idle, then turn itself off.
Also optionally, you can buy a foldable 21W or 50W solar charger for the RIVER to charge the device when you're far away from power plugs. Charging the RIVER with the solar panel will take longer than using a power outlet, though. How much longer remains to be seen, but I wouldn't use the 21W rated panel, as even 50W will take a long time, depending on the available sunlight. As a guideline, recharging from empty to full via the mains will take about seven hours.
The battery inside the RIVER has a shelf life of one year. That's why you can also use it as a backup generator — charge it once a year and it will still keep its charge. The developers claim RIVER is incredibly easy to use. There is an on/off switch at the front, below its large LCD screen. The back of the unit holds another button to turn on AC power. This is because AC power usage is regulated separately.
I can't wait to try it out in the wild. Hopefully I'll be able to test it with the 50W solar panel, as this accessory will make it even more enticing for filmmakers, even if it's only to trickle-charge the RIVER while they're powering devices off it.

These past few days, Abi loves to feed the cat so each night after we eat our dinner, Andy would take him to feed the cats and he is always excited in doing so. We know that this is good coz we're planning to give him his own pet if he'd be old and responsible enough to have one.
I know Daddy shouldn't see this one coz it's a big no-no to put yourself in danger like what he's doing in the picture. I let him do it though just once to take a picture of him, but I swear, I put him down after the I took a picture of him doing it, or else Daddy will be mad at me instead.(lol)

In male-factor infertility, the great challenge is often to extract sperm from the male body. Once sperm has been obtained, it can then be used for IUI, ICSI, or IVF (described below). The various sperm-collection procedures must all overcome the same difficulties:
- 1.Getting enough sperm. Typically, 5-8 million sperm are needed for IUI. If it is not possible to get this number of sperm, it may be necessary to use more difficult techniques like ICSI, so as to make the most of the sperm which have been obtained.
2.The sperm must be functional. If the sperm are dead (necrospermia) or otherwise ineffective, extracting them will be useless.
3.The procedure should involve as little risk and discomfort for the patient as possible.
Now we've seen what sperm extraction techniques must achieve, let's see what the options are. There are three forms of surgery to extract sperm, which are collectively known as 'sperm aspiration'. These are:
- PESA sperm extraction
MESA (Mirosurgical Epididymal Sperm Extraction)
TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction)
TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration)
PESA and MESA: sperm extraction from the epididymis
PESA and MESA extract sperm from the epididymis, an organ just above the testes which stores sperm. With PESA, this is done by inserting a needle into the epididymis more or less at random. The hope is that the needle will randomly find some sperm. This does work reasonably often, but it rarely succeeds in getting enough sperm for use in insemination. PESA also carries the risk of hitting a blood vessel, which can cause all kinds of complications.
MESA is an alternative to PESA which is more invasive, but generally results in more sperm being collected. In MESA, the epididymis is opened through surgery, and examined under a microscope. The doctor can then cut open one Sf the tiny tubes which store the sperm, and can then extract large quantities of sperm. As MESA requires surgery and specialized equipment, it is more expensive than PESA, and there are less clinics capable of performing it.
TESE and TESA: sperm extraction from the testicles.
The other two procedures, TESE and TESA, take sperm from the testicle itself rather than from the epididymis. This is essential when the sperm never reaches the epididymis (this situation is true in most cases of non-obstructive azoospermia). Otherwise, it is not ideal, since if something goes wrong here it would affect the testicle itself.
The difference between TESE and TESA is similar to that between MESA and PESA. In TESA, a needle is used to remove a small section of the testicle. This section can then be taken off to a laboratory, where the sperm is extracted from it. The problem is that, as with PESA, it is hard to tell exactly what the needle will catch. Again, there is a risk of hitting a blood vessel, something which is made more serious by the risk that this could cut off the blood supply to the testicle.
TESE is also a biopsy of the testicle, but it is an open rather than a needle biopsy. In other words, the doctor will manually cut off a small section of the testicle.
Assisted Ejaculation
Sperm aspiration is not usually used to deal with a simple inability to ejaculate. As explained above, damage to the spinal cord or to the rest of the nervous system can inhibit ejaculation, even when the genitals themselves are perfectly healthy. In theory, it would be possible to extract sperm with MESA or the other techniques discussed above, but this is not necessary. Instead, mechanical means are used to stimulate ejaculation.
In the simplest case, a mechanical vibrator can be used on the penis. This stimulates the nerves in the region, and can provoke ejaculation as a reflex reaction. The method here is basically the same as that which makes you jerk your leg when you are tapped on the knee: the nervous system for that part of the body works by itself, without needing to deal with the brain.
This simple system will not always work. In particular, it requires a complete reflex arc: the nerves running from the genitals to the spinal cord must be intact. When basic vibratory stimulation fails, the next tool is called Electro-ejaculation. Under general anesthetic, an electrical anal probe is used to stimulate the nerves around the prostate.
Semen storage
There are many cases in which a man can anticipate becoming infertile in the future. A typical example is if you are undergoing cancer treatments which involve chemotherapy. Chemotherapy usually targets fast-dividing cells in the body, because this is the best way to target cancer. A significant side-effect of chemotherapy is therefore damage to other fast growing cells. Chemotherapy patients lose their hair and gut linings and their sperm production grinds to a halt.
Another example is a vasectomy. While it is not advisable to undergo vasectomy unless you are convinced that you will never want to father a child, storing sperm allows at least some room for reconsideration if you change your mind later in life. Many clinics will therefore advise men to store a sperm sample before they undergo vasectomy.
Men who are undergoing one of the artificial sperm extraction techniques described above will often have the extracted sperm stored. This enables them to undergo the extraction procedure only once, but store enough sperm for several attempts at insemination. This is crucial given the relatively low success rates of some infertility treatments, and the risks and hassle involved in sperm extraction procedures.
Finally, sperm which will be used for donor insemination is generally frozen after collection. As well as avoiding the logistical nightmare of trying to procure 'just-in-time' sperm for immediate fertility treatments, this allows more time to monitor the health of sperm donors, and so to screen out any donors whose sperm might be carrying defects.
The process of freezing sperm is now well understood, and can be done with very little adverse impact on the quality of the sperm. Frozen sperm can be kept for many years.
Surgery is an option in some cases of obstructive azoospermia that is, in situations where the sperm is being held back by a physical blockage. The most common case of this is vasectomy reversal. The sperm ducts which were tied off during the original vasectomy are repaired or bypassed, and a good number of patients are then able to conceive through normal intercourse.

Keys to Repairing Your Water Pump
Keys To Repairing Your Water Pump
The water pump is an important part of your car's engine. It helps move the coolant, water mixture through your engine to keep it cool. If you notice that your car is overheating you may have a problem with your water pump. Going to a mechanic to have it fixed will easily set you back hundreds of dollars. Thankfully replacing a water pump is a fairly easy thing to do in most vehicles. So if you're fairly handy and want to save some money you can avoid going to one of Toms River, New Jersey's mechanics. Here are some key things to do when repairing your water pump.
First make sure you consult your owner's manual and speak with someone at your local auto parts store to make sure you get the right water pump, and coolant for your vehicle. The last thing you want to do is install the wrong parts on your vehicle and make the problem worse. Once you confirm you have the right parts it's time to get to work.
Before you start any work on the engine make sure that the engine is completely cooled down. If you don't wait you may burn yourself. Detach the negative battery line to ensure that you don't electrocute yourself while working on the water pump repair. Make sure you have an oil pan or some other type of container for the coolant that's going to come out when you disconnect the water pump.
Consult your owner's manual on the best way to remove the belt drive components. After removing that you're going to remove the hoses that are connected to the water pump. This is when the coolant will come out. Take out the bolts connected to the water pump and then get rid of any remaining sealant from the engine. Check out the other parts of the cooling system to make sure they're ok. Then install the new pump by following the instructions that come with it. Never force anything, and only apply sealants if they're recommended by the vehicle's manufacturer. Wipe off any excess coolant and then reattach the bolts and hoses. Use the coolant to refill the engine, and manually rotate the water pump to make sure it's working properly. Then reattach the belt drive components, and the negative battery line. Do one visual inspection to make sure everything is attached properly and you're good to go.

New report on the changing role of the CEO in today's complex geopolitical environment
Today's geopolitical environment is nothing like what we've seen in the past. CEOs are beholden to the outputs of an increasingly complex geopolitical system that moves at an accelerated pace, with few guardrails. Only by moving politics to the forefront of strategy, and personally being the point (wo)man for geopolitics can a CEO lead their organization to success in turbulent times.
In a world where global companies are assumed political entities and CEOs are de-facto political players, a new approach is required – one that elevates politics to the boardroom level, and puts CEOs in the position of the Chief Geopolitical Officer with specialized insights and stress-testing tools.
Through in depth research and a series of CEO interviews across industries and geographies, KPMG and Eurasia Group have joined forces to explore the evolving role of the CEO. This report identifies questions to be asked and proactive responses to be taken to help businesses successfully adapt to today's geopolitical uncertainties.

I'll admit it, I've never been much of a make-up loving girl. As a matter of fact, I've only figured out how to put on eyeliner in the past 6 months. Friends, I'm 41 years old!
But I am a fan of 1960s make-up trends. Why? Because it's fun. Isn't that the best reason to be intrigued by fads of the past?
Here are some of my favorites.
The Twiggy Eye: Normal line right about the upper lash line with a thick curve of black at the crease of the lid. Then exaggerated lower lashes drawn directly onto the skin.
With all the fancy work on the eyes, many chose a natural color or an icy pink lipstick like Diana Ross in this diva-tastic photo.
In My Girl the movie starring Macauley Culkin and destroyed us all emotionally in the early 1990s, Jamie Lee Curtis' character says, "The first rule of eye makeup is that you can never wear enough blue eye shadow." And all the ladies of the early 60s said, "Neato!"
Lipstick in a "rainbow range of shades"… but only if that rainbow consists of red, red, pink, and red.
As long as we're looking and red, red, and pink lipstick, we may as well match our fingernails to it! Also, is it just me or does the woman in the above advertisement look like she's in utter agony?
Perfectly shaped and full eyebrows which Nina Simone did so well.
The Sophia Loren cat eye: A very thick line that grows thicker toward the outer edge of the top lip, ending in a point to give the eye a feline shape. Good old Sophia had an advantage as she already had that shape of eye.
And, finally, what Google has so lovingly tagged as "Hippie Make-up", the flower child face painting! This one is still popular at school carnivals and amusement parks.
I'd love to hear from you! What's your favorite 1960s make-up trend?

I'm so excited to be reviewing some products from Aurorae Yoga! I've been eyeing their yoga mats on Amazon since noticing their stellar ratings.
First off, I'm fairly new to yoga and since discovering it, I've felt compelled to go out and purchase a mat that makes a statement and feels good. Well, after several months I have enough mats to provide for everyone in my morning yoga class and can say that I still haven't found "the one."
So, in comes the Aurorae Northern Lights Yoga Mat. My first impression was that it was beautiful! I love the colors of the mat (Eternity) as well as the quality of it. When I unrolled the mat and put it on my floor, I noticed the extra long length (72″ x 24″). To me, this was huge – that extra 4 inches goes a long way. I'm 5'4″ and tend to hang off a typical yoga mat at times. Another advantage the Aurorae Northern Lights mat has is the 5 mm thickness. It's thick and provides the perfect amount of cushion without being heavy and bulky. I also love that the mat didn't need to be aired out like so many other mats due to harsh odors. The mat is Eco-Safe and made from Biodegradable materials – that's major to me! Another factor that seems to be common in yogamats is how slippery they are. I thought the Northern Lights mat seemed to offer more of a grip/stickiness to my hands and feet. I didn't slip at all unlike some of the other mats I have used. For those that do experience slipping – Aurorae offers a Rosin Bag that helps with your grip and absorbs sweat. It can be applied to your hands and feet and even your mat – totally recommend if you have trouble slipping on your mat.
So, now let me tell you about the Aurorae Yoga Mat Bag "The Mat Sak" in black – it's pretty awesome! There's so much room – which I love! With my other yoga mat bags I have no room to put anything in it other than the mat. With "The Mat Sak" you have tons of room with the large Velcro cargo pocket and the zipper pocket. I easily can fit my water bottle, towel, sandals, keys and cellphone in the bag with lots of room to spare. Plus, it looks sleek even with all my stuff in there.
Overall, I'm in yoga Heaven enjoying my new products from Aurorae. I love the look and quality of their products plus, I kind of now feel like an insider to the yoga world with these better quality products. My husband keeps on saying how much he likes my new mat…I guess I know what I'm getting him for Christmas!!
Aurorae sells the best reviewed yoga mats, yoga apparel,and yoga and meditation accessories online. You can browse their yoga mats, yoga bags, yoga apparel and other yoga accessories here!
