For those of us who wish to truly submit to Yeshua and follow him, we must be willing to humbly admit our faults in order to change them. Yeshua provides a wonderful example of a sinful man who genuinely comes before YHWH for repentance and contrasts that with someone who is praying in a noticeably prideful manner. I encourage each of us to thoughtfully and humbly read the scripture from Luke and then come before our father in genuine humility, admitting our sins, and ask for genuine forgiveness with wholehearted commitment to repent and sin no more.
9And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: 10"Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11"The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: 'God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.' 13"But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!' 14"I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
All of us remain sinful, no matter where we are in our journey. Take time to identify an area in which you need change and come before YHWH with pure motive and pure heart, privately, and ask forgiveness and ask his help with repentance. Then work consciously to change your wrong behavior and he will help you. Avoid the trap of just asking forgiveness and then continuing in your sin, without repentance and change on your part. If you refuse to change, that is not true repentance and acknowledgment that you are wrong. There is a distinction between having difficulty changing and refusing to change or not trying. Often we will need his help to change our ways as it is difficult for us.
Do you know for sure if you will go to heaven or hell when you die? Are you experiencing in your life the peace and joy of a personal relationship with our Creator and Father? Learn more about salvation through The Message of the Cross.

The Hypocrisy And Stupidity.
1 can't be sure but I believe these two pictures are from yesterday's hearing. Some recovery given the lifetime trauma she claims she suffered. Of course as a fifty year old plus woman, she knows full well false accusations of sexual impropriety never, ever happen. Or that psychologists place absolute faith in polygraphs!
I will confess that for many people, myself included, the Senate hearing over the Dr Blasey Ford allegations was high drama. I even kept our precious Doberman up watching. What I couldn't understand is that since this was about a senior appointment to a high office and character a big issue, why wasn't this woman questioned more pointedly? he certainly was.
In pursuing my questioning thoughts, I came across this. Even if GOP biased, still valid questions for all involved. let alone voters and the public arena. What was also fascinating is the paucity of any criticism of Ford and masses against Judge Kavanaugh thrown up in a Google search. That Google is becoming ever more identifiable as a tool of the deep state is of much need for us all to be fearful.
Not withstanding the Democratic, leftard, libdum nature of this woman, her psychology training and qualifications, her activism on behalf of the Democratic crowd and her emotional, for me, crocodile tears, all combined to demand closer scrutiny. Her two lawyers and their nervous, frequent interventions were also rather suspicious. Contrast their presence with Judge Kavanaugh's isolation. His emotional, fighting back tears was embarrassing, sure but he had more reason to be exhausted than she. His whole life on the line and for what?
The link I've used answers much of my own desire for a greater inspection of Dr Blasey Ford's accusations and indeed her character and substance. Perhaps the most glaring one of all is her questionable character and that of her parents, in her being at the kind of function/party as a 15 year old young girl. It was an alcohol fuelled booze up, by her own admission and she presumably expected at some point to go swimming. What else was she hoping to enjoy at this "bash"? Find a boyfriend, experiment with being a grown up?
I am not suggesting for one moment assault in any shape or form is acceptable. However surely we all have a degree of responsibility. Caring for the safety of 15 year old children should be paramount. Yet this business is getting hours and hours of airtime. Unlike the grooming gangs across Europe. Or the victims of Establishment deep state evil as in this case.
I hope Judge Kavanaugh gets selected. His experience of these past many months can only harden his resolve to consider the swamp of American, ergo, Western, decline and decay. Our moral compasses have certainly been collected up and melted down for the benefit of a wealthy elite for whom only their own, selfish, self entitled smugness gets any airtime. This woman, Dr. Blasey Ford, looks every inch and breath, someone who believes in swimming in "natural" waters. Possibly even including a swamp.
The pond life she's surrounded herself with, Olympic standard lawyers to name some of her fellow bathers, looked very gross at her side. Somewhat belying reports of how she never hesitated with her discourse. Add to her team the Ranking Senator Feinstein and her shaky responses to who "leaked" Ford's letter to the Press and the time line adopted by the alligators on the Committee and the grossness of the deep state foot soldiers is big time on show. WTF was this all about? That video isn't mega media news, is it?
Just think on this. If they can subject a respected, long serving Judge to this treatment, what chance we mere mortals? That swamp and its associated stench of rotten decay is spreading beyond its own environs. Daily filled with the inevitable detritus gangsters and drug barons bring to the bathing parties. Swimsuits and all.

Through SkillsFuture, the Government will help Singaporeans learn at every age and develop mastery and flair in every field. SkillsFuture involves everyone: individuals and families, employers and industry associations, unions etc. The SkillsFuture measures specific to businesses are:
More details on these initiatives will be provided subsequently.
As businesses may need more time to adjust to rising costs as they restructure, the Transition Support Package will be extended by two years but at reduced support levels.
The Wage Credit Scheme will be extended to 2017, to give employers more time to adjust to the tight labour market.
The 30% CIT rebate will be extended for Year of Assessment (YA) 2016 and YA2017, with a reduced cap of $20,000 per company per YA. The reduced cap will ensure that more support is focused on SMEs.
The PIC Bonus will be phased out after YA2015 as it was intended as a transitional measure and has been successful in spreading the culture of productivity amongst SMEs. Businesses will continue to benefit from the PIC scheme which has been extended till YA 2018, and the PIC+ scheme introduced in Budget 2014.
To help middle-income Singaporeans accumulate more CPF savings during their working years, the Government will increase the CPF salary ceiling from $5,000 to $6,000 to keep pace with income growth over the years. This will benefit at least 544,000 members and take effect from 1 January 2016.
To boost the retirement adequacy of older workers, the Government will raise the CPF contribution rate for workers aged 50 to 65 years. The increase in employer contributions will go to the Special Account, while the increase in employee contributions will go to the Ordinary Account. These changes will take effect from 1 January 2016.
The Government will enhance the TEC by:
The extension of the TEC will offset two-thirds of the employers' costs due to CPF changes in 2016, and one-third in 2017.
To promote voluntary re-employment of older workers, the Government will provide employers with an additional Special Employment Credit (SEC) of up to 3% of wages for workers aged 65 years and above in 2015. This is on top of the 8.5% wage offset that employers would receive in 2015. This will cost about $50 million.
The Government will top up the SEC Fund by $500 million to meet the needs of the SEC until the scheme expires in 2016.
More details will be provided at the Ministry of Manpower's Committee of Supply.
As the net inflow of foreign workers (excluding construction) has slowed significantly, the Government will defer this year's round of announced levy increases for S Pass and Work Permit Holders, with the exception of Work Permit Holder levies in the Manufacturing and Construction sectors:
The National Research Fund will be topped up by $1 billion this year, with greater efforts to help companies develop and commercialise new products.
To ensure that promising companies have access to capital that they need to grow, the Government will:
To support our companies to internationalise, the Government will:
These enhancements are expected to cost $240 million.
To help companies acquire scale through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), the Government will:
These enhancements will cost the Government over $100 million over five years. More details will be announced at the Ministry of Trade and Industry's Committee of Supply.
The tax deduction for qualifying donations made to Institutions of a Public Character (IPCs) and other qualifying recipients in 2015 will be increased from the current 250% to 300%.
We will extend the 250% tax deduction for donations, which will expire on 31 Dec 2015, by another three years for qualifying donations made from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018.
As recently announced, the Government will extend matching grant support for the Care & Share Movement till 31 March 2016, with an additional $250 million. This doubles the total matching grant for Care & Share to $500 million.
The Carbon Emissions-based Vehicle Scheme will be extended to 30 June 2017 with refinements to encourage a further shift to greener cars. More details will be announced at the Ministry of Transport's Committee of Supply.
The Early Turnover Scheme will be enhanced to encourage the replacement of older commercial vehicles with greener vehicles that meet higher emission standards from August 2015. More details will be announced at the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources' Committee of Supply.
To encourage lower car usage and reduce carbon emissions, the petrol duty rates for premium grade petrol and intermediate grade petrol will be increased by $0.20 per litre and $0.15 per litre respectively. This will take effect from 23 February 2015.
To ease the transition to the revised petrol duties, the Government will provide a one-year road tax rebate of 20% for cars, 60% for motorcycles, and 100% for commercial vehicles using petrol.
1 These are the Global Company Partnership (GCP), and the Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) grants. The current support level for both these schemes is up to 50%, except for four activities – Design, Branding, Intellectual Property, and Mergers and Acquisitions – which are supported at 70% from 1 Apr 2012 to 31 Mar 2015.

Reid & Associates
The CM100 Conductivity Meter measures the conductivity of up to 100 samples of plant material simultaneously and includes PC-compatible software for analysis of the measurements. Damage to cellular membranes is a virtually ubiquitous response to a wide variety of stresses. This damage leads to leakage of electrolytes from the cells of stressed tissues. Measurement of this leakage, using conductivity, is a reliable indicator of the severity of the stress. Ideal for research, the CM100 provides a solution for non-destructive testing requirements.
The AMF120 Mk3 Automatic Mains Failure Control System automatically starts the generator on mains failure, provides engine protection, logs up to 800 events with date/time stamp and has a telemetry facility. Simple installation and operator interface, reliability, and competitive pricing make the AMF120 Mk3 a controller of choice. Over the last decade the AMF120 and AMF120 PLUS have logged millions of trouble free operating hours. The AMF120 Mk3 builds on this extensive experience to add additional features and additional reliability, at the same price.

Using a large adult reading database, we examined the relationships between high-level and low-level reading skills and between multiple reading skills, general cognitive ability, and reading comprehension ability. A principal components analysis found partial dissociability between higher-level skills including reading comprehension, vocabulary and print exposure, and lower-level skills including decoding and spelling in adult readers. Furthermore, follow-up regression analyses showed that the high-level sub-skills (e.g., vocabulary and print exposure) were significantly better predictors of reading comprehension ability than the low-level skills (e.g., decoding and spelling) in adult skilled readers. These findings suggest that higher-level and lower-level skills are dissociable in adult skilled readers and that higher-level skills are more strongly related to comprehension ability in adults.

Will Prenursing Smarter work for me?
You probably want to know if this program works, right? Of course! Below are some of the awesome Prenursing Smarter reviews from past students. I'd love for you to keep reading and check them out!
As you can see, everyone has different score requirements and score goals. Some students enrolled for a month, others for at least three months. They made the program work from them, and they got great results. I'd love the same for you!
It's been several months since I took the TEAS after using your program to prepare. I made an 84 and was going to retake for a higher score, but I decided to take my chances and apply to nursing school right away. I'm happy to say that I was accepted to both programs for which I applied. 🙂 Now all I need to do is decide which one to go to. Without your program, I know I wouldn't have been so well prepared for the TEAS. I really enjoyed your audios and videos. I listened in the car everywhere I went; my two and three year old actually learned to speak some medical jargon just by being a passenger. Lol
Thanks so much. Wish me luck in nursing school; I start in the spring of 2019.
Busy mom and future nursing school student
I cannot thank you enough for your support and teaching! I took my test Saturday... drum roll please...86.7. The proctor gave me a thumbs up and a huge smile and said to be proud!!
LVN who is now on her way to her RN
I love it!! I'm so excited and I love your online program. It took the overwhelm away.
Happy student who loves using a study system
My reading section score was crazy! I scored a 90 percent. I'm so happy that I found your program. I really feel that it prepared me, especially with that awful reading section!
Busy student who recently started nursing school
I am happy to report that I've been accepted for Spring '17. I will be part of the Accelerated BSN program (2 years - 6 semesters)! Thank you for a great class.
Career changer who is now in nursing school
I am currently almost done with my first semester of nursing school. I was able to get an 88% on the TEAS and along with my 3.83 GPA, I also got accepted to [another] program. Thank you so much for your guidance!
Student who is on her way to her NP goal
I credit most of my correct answers to your cards... Thank you again.
Successful student who loved the course flashcards
English would be my biggest struggle but it's just something I need to practice more. You provided me with the tools I need to succeed. Thank you for everything! I really appreciate it.
A motivated student
This is the second time taking the Teas, last time was hard with a sad score "56". I did improve using your course with a score of "69.3". The tips on every subject that you explain during the course help me to understand better. Of course I was afraid, specially the reading part. I don't remember how I found your course online and I know now buying the 3 months course help me to pass de Teas. I would like to say a lot of positive comments but my my writing English is not too good. Thanks Kate
An English language learner who passed the TEAS!
This is the best class
One of the first Prenursing Smarter students 🙂
I passed the TEAS thanks a lot for your program.
A student who never has to think about the TEAS again
I have been using your site for studying, and I really want you to know that you do a wonderful job explaining everything. It has been of great help!
A student who loves all the multimedia lessons
You're so helpful! I've already recommended you to some other students like myself that need guidance studying. Regardless of the end result I'm learning more from your class than I did by myself with the [official] manual.
Motivated student who loved the Anatomy & Physiology material
I just wanted to let you know how much I am thankful for this course. I finished all of my pre-reqs 5 years ago and decided to defer the nursing program to have children. Well I know have a one and three year old and am going to apply for the RN program to start in the spring... I feel much better prepared through your course. English and Math are hard for me, but I am confident with your course I will have a better understanding. I just wanted to let you know that your teaching style is wonderful. From your quirky examples 😉 to the tone and inflection in your voice. Even my husband, who is a UPS delivery driver, listens too. He said you make the material interesting.
Busy mom who is studying with the whole family
This morning I took the TEAS 6 test. It's a beast of a test, but I passed it. With that said, I have no doubt that had I not stumbled across you and your program, the outcome would have been different.
Successful student who loved the audio reviews in the program
My math and science scores increased tremendously...I was so excited in those scores, I had to laugh...Your program is an excellent resource.
LVN who is ready for her next step as an RN
I just wanted to express my gratitude for being a genuinely great professor and person dealing with something of so much content and pressure! Even though this class isn't graded one bit, you're my best professor yet. I hope you continue... because it's working!
Awww from a student
I just have to say thank you for creating this. I took my TEAS for the first time today and scored a 93% (that's within the 99th percentile)! I started studying in August and kept scoring in the 50%-60% range. I purchased your 30 day plan and committed to utilizing your tips and tricks. I don't think I would have scored as high if I didn't have this. I am definitely referring all my prenursing friends to you. Thank you Kate!
Superstar student
After nov, i ended up studying all the material that I had thru your program and re took the TEAS March 2018...i ended up with a score of 84%!! My first score being at 78% The biggest improvement i saw was in the English section i went from 54% to 75%.
I wanted to thank you for putting together such great student tools, because i honestly feel that without your resources i don't think i would have increased my score as much as i did.
I ended up applying to my nursing program and got accepted! School starts Oct 1!!!
Thank you again! And I've been telling all my friends to check your courses out!

Daily Prompt: Dearly Departed.
Who was she? We never really knew.
Her life was a stage and she had the lead role, a role not clearly defined, no lines, no cues, no writers in the background laying out the plot.
She put on her costumes, each day acting out her life, playing the roles she'd accepted. Outgoing, happy, student, saleswoman, bartender, administrator, manager, caregiver, listener, wife, mother, survivor.
She wore her stage makeup as a mask. The mask that kept the darkness at bay, kept the fear hidden and kept the world from knowing her. and without the mask even she didn't know who she was.

My QRP portable setup is almost ready for its first outing. I have finished an 80M dipole which is resonant at the bottom end of the band and can cover the higher end with a home brew tuner with a switched inductance and tuning capacitor connected in series. Once I get the checks out of the way I intend folding the legs of the dipole back to see if I can get the antenna resonant on 40M as well so with a minimum of effort I can switch between bands.The rig is my FT-817 and will be powered by a gel-cell.

Creating a landmark.
Queens Road Central 338, a building with a prime location but undervalued in price due to positioning and previous use cases. Tasked with rethinking the brand experience, we needed to both consider the vibrancy currently surrounding the property, but also communicate the unleashed, future potential of the location.
Located right on the corner of two high-density cross streets, the building is visible and a meeting point in the area. After initial research we decided to take the route of creating a true landmark – a status no other building had achieved in the area. From the name right through to the visual design, we created an experience that lifts the building above the cool, but "up-and-coming" reputation of the Sheung Wan area and makes it as attractive as any building in the Central district.
Timeless yet forward looking.
From the style of photography, typography and all the way to signages there's a feeling of something very classic about Queen Central. A place that represents the history of the Sheung Wan district but also looks forward as the area slowly becomes a more respected and attractive location.
All executions are kept in colors and materials that execute a premium feeling, clearly differentiating it from the bustling and artsy reputation the area is known for.

Enjolras's sister is getting married and she hates the idea of him being alone, so naturally he needs to recruit one of his friends to be his date for the wedding. And naturally, the only friend available to do so is Grantaire. And, just as naturally, the family must believe they're madly in love for any of this to be convincing.pairing:enjolras/grantaire pairing:combeferre/courfeyrac char:enjolras char:grantaire char:combeferre char:marius char:jehan char:joly char:eponine char:musichetta char:bossuet char:bahorel char:courfeyrac char:cosette au:modern trope:relationship(fake-relationship) trope:secrets trope:schemes wc:20k50k pov:enjolras genre:humor f:les-mis trope:relationship(developing-relationship) setting:weddings trope:art trope:meddling trope:occupation(artist) trope:occupation(tattoo-artist) trope:occupation(journalist) setting:nightclubs trope:intoxication trope:dancing trope:drunken-kisses kink:kissing kink:making-out

Davley Organic Garden and Flower Fair
Riverside Mall, Nelspruit Mpumalunga 5th to 7th October 2012
The Lowveld has never before hosted a comprehensive garden and flower fair. The area has so many avid gardeners as well as landscapers and nurseries, not to mention the huge amount of garden hardware and accessories suppliers. We will bring them all together under one roof to interact and plan the coming summer season together.
Florists joining the fair will supply the floral extravaganza imperative to the spring feeling of the event.
Larger landscaping stands will be available outside the Mall in a designated area as agreed. These are indicated for exhibitors with large products on offer e.g. Paving, swimming pools, etc as well as for any exhibitor wishing to build a "landscape" to showcase their wares.
Smaller stands will be made available in the prime centre court of the Riverside Mall – radiating out into the main thoroughfares.
The Riverside Mall lends itself to this event. Hosting an average of
80 000 visitors over a weekend! We will host the exhibitors both inside and outside, turning the mall into a "spring sensation"!
The Fair is not just about flowers and plants, but a garden extravaganza! Numerous activities are planned which tie in with the whole event.
Davley Organics is the proud sponsor of the event hoping to showcase the way forward in sustainable fertilizer options and to highlight the delights of the garden accessible to everyone!

The three names above are the three main characters in the Korean TV drama "Boys Over Flowers" (also sometimes referred to as "Boys Before Flowers") based on a popular Japanese manga. It is available on Hulu, which is how I discovered it. In the past it has also been adapted for Japanese television, and I believe Taiwanese as well.
"Boys Over Flowers" is a story that bears a lot in common with "Pride and Prejudice", combined with all of the lavish cliché and exaggerated drama of any good soap opera. I can't explain why, but I just love the stupid thing. The romance is so sweet and unrealistic that in a lot of ways, it's every bit as much a fairy tale as Rapunzel. With a Korean pop soundtrack.
In other news, I have been having drama of my own on the fabric front. I went to the website to order the brocade this weekend, only to find they'd completely overhauled their sales strategy which seemed to include not selling just the raw fabric anymore by the yard.
Since I didn't want to have to by a minimum five tablecloths in both colors, I called yesterday and asked if I could just buy the fabric I needed (in the amount I needed).
They said yes!! Commence celebration.
Then they left me a voicemail!! Uh-oh.
They took back half of the yes!!
(Translation: I could order the fabric straight-up, but I had to go with the minimum ten yards apiece as before. Which means after all that rigmarole I was right back where I started. Oh well. I'd already made peace with that particular annoyance).
So... the brocade is ordered. I think.

I am a TED freak. You could go as far as calling me a TED groupie. I love the concept of sharing great ideas and being exposed to amazing people, great thinkers and industry pioneers. Recently I was lucky enough to attend the TEDx FlipSide conference in Auckland.
For two days I was immersed in new ideas, new concepts, interesting discussions and plenty of hearty debate. There were many lessons I would take away from this experience, but as a business coach there were two that stood out for me.
Jayne Bailey, the founder of Project Moroto spoke about the inconvenience of saying yes. That in order to change or move forward in our lives we need to say yes to the difficult things. We need to move out of our comfort zones and accept the fact that we need to give of ourselves in order to grow, develop and change. A concept she battled with prior to jumping in feet first, when developing her life saving and life changing charity.
For me this is the essence of what coaching is all about, and her talk was a perfect example of what happens when you do take the plunge out of your comfort zone and decide to disrupt your life by saying yes. To this day, she has not looked back or regretted her decision.
During the event breaks I heard a number of people say that they felt quite guilty that their lives seem so insignificant compared to some of the TEDx speakers. They started to question their purpose in life and how much value they were realistically adding to their personal and professional lives. These kinds of events can naturally make you question yourself, your path and your goals, but here's the thing. Its not about having to go out into the world and start an orphanage, design a state of the art wheelchair like Samuel Gibson, join a presidential protection unit like Rory Steyn or even strip down to your birthday suit like Lizzie Marvelly in her campaign #MyBodyMyTerms. If you believe this is your calling then be my guest and do it. Life is all about choices. But the lesson learnt for me from listening to these dynamic speakers is that its not about having to make big changes in our lives in order to be significant and add value. It's really about noticing that the little changes we make actually make the biggest differences.
Right here and now we can start making subtle changes in our lives that will have a major impact on the people in our personal and professional lives.
Not judging, listening to others, being kind to our environment, accepting each other as unique, admitting that we are not perfect and being okay to talk about our challenges, testing the norm and being empathetic. These concepts don't require us to shift countries or to spend thousands of dollars. These actions are free and can be implemented today. Just imagine the difference you can make.

text: Sections View Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Supplementary Content ++ ESSENTIALS OF DIAGNOSIS ++ ESSENTIALS OF DIAGNOSIS Jaundice is most often caused by decompensation of preexisting chronic liver disease, alcoholic hepatitis, and gallstone disease. Careful history, physical examination, and routine laboratory tests lead to accurate diagnosis in 85% of patients with jaundice. Cirrhosis can be diagnosed on the basis of two physical findings (asterixis, ascites) and two laboratory findings (decreased serum albumin [<2.8 g/dL], prolonged prothrombin time [INR >1.6]). Dilated intrahepatic bile ducts indicate obstruction from extrahepatic causes (stone, structure, tumor). Absence of dilated ducts in jaundiced patients with serum bilirubin >10 mg/dL suggests intrahepatic cholestasis. Sepsis, drugs, sickle cell disease, and chronic hepatitis are the most common causes of intrahepatic cholestasis. ++ GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS ++ Jaundice refers to the yellowish discoloration of tissue resulting from the deposition of bilirubin in tissues; this indicates that the serum bilirubin is likely 3 mg/dL or higher. Jaundice most often is the result of acute or chronic liver disease, or biliary tract disease, and less commonly the result of hemolytic disorders. The differential diagnosis of jaundice has changed significantly in the past decade due largely to a sharp decline in the incidence of viral hepatitis types A and B as a result of immunization. The most common causes of jaundice in the adult population now are decompensation of preexisting chronic liver disease, alcoholic hepatitis, sepsis and abnormal hemodynamic conditions, and gallstone disease. ++ PATHOGENESIS ++ Jaundice can occur as a result of acute or chronic parenchymal liver disease, extrahepatic biliary tract obstruction (due to stone, stricture, or tumor), intrahepatic cholestasis (having several causes, as detailed in the following text), and hemolytic anemia. Serum bilirubin derives from the degradation of senescent red cells in the reticuloendothelial system. Each day a normal individual destroys 50 mL of red blood cells, which gives rise to 7.5 g of hemoglobin. Each gram of hemoglobin that is degraded results in production of 35 mg of bilirubin. Unconjugated bilirubin is liquid soluble, water insoluble, and hence circulates bound to albumin. The hepatic processing of bilirubin involves uptake of unconjugated bilirubin, conjugation with uridine diphosphate glucuronyl transferase, transfer to the bile canaliculus, and excretion into the intrahepatic biliary tree (Figure 38–1). Bilirubin is excreted in the bile primarily as bilirubin diglucuronide (80%), bilirubin monoglucuronide (20%), and unconjugated bilirubin (<1%). Any disease process that results in an increased load of unconjugated bilirubin presented to the liver, impaired conjugation, or impaired excretion of conjugated bilirubin, either intrahepatic or extrahepatic, can lead to accumulation of bilirubin in the blood, resulting in jaundice. ++ Figure 38–1. Anatomy of the intrahepatic biliary system. (Reproduced, with permission, from Sherlock S, Dooley J. Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System. 10th ed. London, UK: Blackwell Science, 1997.)

In the last few days a video of a young Syrian boy being attacked and bullied has gone viral. Whilst there has been lots of media coverage, there has been little if any attempt to recognise this as a part of a continuing trend of Black, Brown, poor, Muslim and migrant children being attacked whilst they are in school and that this trend reflects society as a whole.
It points to a concern about popular and visible hatred of the 'Other' that transcends society from social media to the streets. It would be ludicrous not to associate these manifestations of racism with that perpetuated by the powerful: politicians and the media, and its larger manifestations in Brexit, Trumpism, and racist migration policies that take on a particular character within the context of the current Hostile Environment policy and the Windrush scandal. All of the above have populated and reinvigorated a new wave of nationalism and patriotism that has incubated a far-right narrative and sentiment.
The likes of the EDL, Britain First, FLA, DFLA, and specific individuals like Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage who are being seen as messianic, have received mainstream coverage and a range of platforms, as well as financial backing and more from neoliberal society bent on dividing the masses whilst they continue to line their pockets. The White British student who attacked the Syrian boy has been said to have previously posted Britain First messages on his Facebook account. In the video, the Syrian boy who was attacked is seen with his arm in a cast because his arm was broken in a previous attack. His sister whose video has also come to light has been attacked in the same school with attempts made to remove her headscarf.
There are many, many other reports of other students from migrant backgrounds, as well as from Black and Brown people born in Britain, being attacked including some that have been reported directly to the Racial Justice Network. Police have stepped in to do their job and the schools will attempt to do theirs in co-operating but is that enough? What is the responsibility of everyone else? It's impossible to ignore the snowball effect this has on young people or anyone on the receiving end of racism; students attacked and those who witness it face threats to their mental wellbeing and academic achievement and are put at risk of having to deal with great trauma, often alone.
Often when a child reports a racist incident, they are made responsible for it, told to ignore it and/or that it isn't that bad. Again, leaving that child alone to cope. The impact no doubt extends to families, loved ones and communities that want to see their children do well and be treated with respect and common courtesy. Too often, though, parents from Black, Brown and migrant communities are not heard by the schools or local authorities who fail to keep the spaces safe for children who, in the case of those who have fled from particularly difficult situations (like Syria), may be particularly vulnerable to the risk of re-traumatising events.
What is clear is that schools as centres of learning are not doing enough, the councils and education departments are not doing enough and the police as law-enforcers are not doing enough, being ill-equipped in handling issues of race and racism. Black and Brown teachers are also coping with the rise of racism in schools. The continuous portrayal of the UK as 'post-racial', the denial of racism and slashing of budgets to organisations that deal with race equity (not equality and diversity) means there is great discomfort in talking about race, so ideas on how to deal with it are very superficial and surface-level.
Individuals observing the very aggressive and explicit forms of racism might be able to distinguish themselves from the perpetrator, but racism is far more insidious than this. What we see in the video is a consequence of a racist society in which many actors play their part.
We need to recognise racisms that are institutional, microaggressive, non-verbal and take on any number of forms. The Racial Justice Network based in West Yorkshire, engages with individuals and organisations to end racial injustice and address legacies of colonialism through organising, informing and training. Recent video on five ways to disrupt racism reminds of the need to be anti-racist, as it is not enough to be non-racist. We stand by the family and many more who are facing similar attacks in the region and around the country and would also suggest well wishers and decision makers increase funding for organisations, groups who are experts in doing deep-rooted systemic change work around race to increase their capacity to support schools, hospitals, places of work so communities can see we are all in this together.
As depicted in a schools could do better article by one of our trustees, we would also suggest curriculums must be adjusted to add British history that explains Britain's relationship to its former colonies, and consider how this relates to current issues and particularly the reasons why people continue to migrate. This might then engender compassion and humanity rather than fear and hatred of migrants.

Laura OLPH had an early-morning responsibility today, so she couldn't do a ride at the usual times, and there wasn't anything that interested some of us in the book for today, So Laura asked about a ride starting at about 10:30. By that time the rain had (mostly) passed, but still, only Joe M and I showed up.
We did this route. Laura had emailed me the route to put in Mr. Garmin, my sometimes-reliable GPS. We wanted to do a flat route at a moderate pace, but the pace crept up a bit (my fault, I'm afraid).
We stopped at the excellent Bruno's Bikes & Chocolate (what a great idea! If they sold computer parts, I'd never leave). Just before that, Laura had been unable to shift down to her smaller chainring; we played with the derailleur, but couldn't get it to work reliably. Since we were right there, we gave her bike Kermit to Mr Bruno, who lubed up the derailleur, then blew out a quantity of dirt from the moving parts. "Hrmph," I said, "Too much mung in the doin's," which Laura thought was just too picturesque.
Well, we aim to please.
Then back into a headwind. On the way back that front derailleur began to act up again, so I gave Laura some ideas on how to clear it out. She may find herself wrenching one day, willy-nilly.
At the start:
Joe's bike is a Bridgestone RB-1, the ancestor of the current Rivendell bikes:
I'm completely unreliable at these over-the-shoulder shots.

A Lamantation for the Death of Sir Maurice Fitzgerald
(from the Irish)
HERE was lifted up one voice of woe,
One lament of more than mortal grief,
Through the wide South to and fro,
For a fallen Chief.
In the dead of night that cry thrilled through me,
I looked out upon the midnight air;
My own soul was all as gloomy,
As I knelt in prayer.
O'er Loch Gur, that night, once, twice -- yea, thrice --
Passed a wail of anguish for the Brave
That half curled into ice
Its moon-mirroring wave.
Then uprose a many-toned wild hymn in
Choral swell from Ogra's dark ravine,
And Mogeely's Phantom Women
Mourned the Geraldine!
Far on Carah Mona's emerald plains
Shrieks and sighs were blended many hours,
And Fermoy in fitful strains
Answered from her towers.
Youghal, Keenalmeaky, Eemokilly,
Mourned in concert, and their piercing keen
Woke to wondering life the stilly
Glens of Inchiqueen.
From Loughmoe to yellow Dunanore
There was fear; the traders of Tralee
Gathered up their golden store,
And prepared to flee;
For, in ship and hall from night till morning,
Showed the first faint beamings of the sun,
All the foreigners heard the warning
Of the Dreaded One!
"This," they spake, "portendeth death to us,
If we fly not swiftly from our fate!"
Self-conceited idiots! thus
Ravingly to prate!
Not for base-born higgling Saxon trucksters
Ring laments like those by shore and sea!
Not for churls with souls like hucksters
Waileth our Banshee!
For the high Milesian race alone
Ever flows the music of her woe!
For slain heir to bygone throne,
And for Chief laid low!
Hark! -- Again, methinks, I hear her weeping
Yonder! Is she near me now, as then?
Or was but the night-wind sweeping
Down the hollow glen?

Note: The mod is currently beeing tested on VanessaEs free-for-all server. Bug reports and feedback welcome!
It is sometimes desirable to build something huge together with other players. For that purpose, sharing chest space helps. My locks mod was created for that purpose. And it works. However, it is tiresome to manually grant access to each user, and to have to always carry a keychain is a further disadvantage.
The Landrush mod contains a shared chest that is far easier to use: Instead of having to enter names manually, it just checks who's allowed to build in that area and grants permission to use the chest based on that information. The Landrush chest is limited to the Landrush protection system.
This chest here works similar to the Landrush chest, except that it's designed to work along all modern protection systems (those which use minetest.is_protected). So, now, who can take something out of the chest or put something in? Answer: Everyone who could dig or build at that position - provided the area is protected at all. Else it acts like a normal locked chest.
First, craft the chest:
After placing and opening the chest, you'll see the following:
Clicking on "Craft" lets you acces your craft grid directly. Just imagine coming back from an extensive mining tour, where your craft grid had to help out as storage space for additional ores, cobble or anything else. Now you don't have to transfer that stuff back to your inventory first. You can also take materials out of the chest, craft them in the grid, and place the result back into the chest without having to go through your main inventory.
Clicking on one of the bags buttons works only if you have unified_inventory installed. In that case, you can access your bags directly - same as with the craft grid above.
"DA" stands for "drop all". It will try to move all items from your selected inventory (either the main one, craft grid or a bag) to the chest. Doing so with the above setup leads to this:
"TA" is "take all" and tries to take everything from the chest and stuff it into your inventory:
"SA" means "swap all". It swaps both inventories as far as that's possible. Positions are kept. First, let's apply that command to the main inventory from above:
Now we switch to the bag shown before:
..and swap inventories. As the bag is smaller than the chest's inventory, only as much as is possible get swapped:
The last button, "FA", means "filter all". This may be less intuitive than the options above. The purpose of this button is to speed up dropping of gathered items into chests that are already sorted. You may have organized your chests in such a way that one contains only cobble, while another one might contain ores and ingots, another one wood etc. If you click on "FA", only items where there's at least one of them already in the chest will be transfered into the chest. It's like "drop all", except that what's already in the chest acts like a filter. In our above case, the shared chests, tree, wooden roof and glass are present in both inventories and thus get all transfered into the chest:
This blue shared chest can also be used as a tool to upgrade other chests. Wield the chest and punch another normal, locked or shared chest:
Clicking on the "shared" version costs you 2 steel ingots and upgrades the normal chest to the shared version introduced here. The chest's inventory is kept!
You can also downgrade chests. If you, for some reason, want to go back from the shared chest to a normal locked one, you'll get one steel ingot back:

Elizabeth Johnston, a North Carolina parent and blogger who calls herself "The Activist Mommy," is planning a "Sex Ed Sit Out" on April 23. The event has the support of groups like the Family Research Council, and it is being held to protest what Johnston calls "pornographic" subject matter being taught in public schools.
Johnston joined Todd Starnes on his radio show and told him about how taxpayer money was being used to fund these programs. "We have educational bureaucrats who have decided that their school funding is more important than protecting our child's innocence," she said.
President of Family Research Council, Tony Perkins, joined the program and said, "...this is happening all over, and so that's why we're so grateful for what Elizabeth is doing with this "Sex Ed Sit Out" day on April 23rd."

Ole Miss fell to the South Carolina Gamecocks 44-48 on Saturday for the Rebels' fourth conference loss this year, bringing the team to 5-4 on the season.
The 11 a.m. kickoff quickly gave way to an offensive showdown. These two struggling SEC teams put up 27 points apiece and a combined 749 yards of offense through the nearly two-hour-long first half. Toward the end of the second half, however, the offensive fireworks subdued and the tired-looking Rebels let the Gamecocks pull away in a fourth quarter that saw the Rebels put up a mere 18 yards of offense.
"Tough loss today," head coach Matt Luke said. "It makes it tough when you know the kids left it all on the field and they battled their guts out, and we didn't make the plays we needed to make."
Trouble stopping the run and making open field tackles became apparent early as the Gamecocks opted to receive and began the day with a 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Luke Logan tried to keep the kickoff away from Gamecock go-to returner Deebo Samuel, but the standout receiver got his hands on the ball anyway, despite a muffed recovery.
"There's obviously a lot of things that we could clean up," Luke said. "Too many easy plays, deep balls and the kick off return, that ended up being the difference in the game."
Though powerful, the Rebel offense was relatively quiet in the red zone in the first quarter. Gamecock pass interference kept A.J. Brown from what would have been his only touchdown reception of the day on the Rebels' second drive. Third down came once again in the red zone, and Scottie Phillips fumbled a backwards pass, which the Gamecocks recovered on the 24-yard line.
Offensive coordinator Phil Longo said he focussed on improving the team's red zone performance after being shut out of the end zone through the first 15 minutes.
"I thought the guys, after the first quarter, did a really good job down there," Longo said. "We wanted to be more physical in the red zone we wanted to run the ball better down there I thought we did that."
A highlight of the Rebels' exhausting loss came in the form of freshman wide receiver Elijah Moore's record-setting outing. Moore caught 11 passes for 129 yards, good for the most receptions in a game ever by an Ole Miss freshman. Nine of those catches came in the first half. Back-to-back catches by Moore during a Rebel drive in the second quarter bolstered a brief Ole Miss attack, but the offense sputtered and was forced to settle for a second field goal.
"With D.K. (Metcalf) down, I knew I had to step up," Moore said. "I cannot let my boys down. They work hard every day in practice so I have to work hard for them. We will just work a little harder to get the win next time. I am going to just keep doing what I'm doing. I'm blessed."
Quarterback Jordan Ta'amu also impressed in his first-half performance. Ta'amu threw for 270 yards on a 20-29 clip and excelled on his feet. At the half, his 76 rushing yards closely trailed running back Scottie Phillips for the best showing on the ground. Ta'amu's strong day continued late into the 3rd quarter until the senior quarterback went down hard on a roughing the passer call.
"I thought he looked a little sluggish when he went in, that's why we took him out the next drive," Longo said.
Ta'amu's injury forced true-freshman quarterback Matt Corral into the game, who has played sparingly this season. Although Corral had to come in, Longo praised his team for never wavering during Ta'amu's injury scare.
"This is one of the most resilient groups I've ever been around," Longo said. "It's inspiring to me because I don't think attitude changed the entire game, we fought, and they're just resilient this group."
Scottie Phillips' effort on Saturday is a prime example of the resiliency Longo praised after the game. The junior running back notched a career-high three touchdowns after his fumble in the first quarter.
With 5:30 to go in the third quarter, Luke turned to Phillips to convert a Rebel fourth and one, and Phillips delivered. His five-yard conversion paved the way for a 19-yard completion over the top to Dawson Knox to set the Rebels up in the red zone. A toss to the outside gave Phillips an uncontested sweep into the end zone for his third score and the game's third lead change.
An early fourth quarter score by Isaiah Woullard extended the Rebel lead to 10 with 14 minutes left, but the sluggish defense couldn't hold the South Carolina attack back. Ole Miss let up two more touchdowns before a final four and out by the Rebels. Mac Brown punted three times for the Rebels in the fourth as the game came to a close.
"It's a tough pill to swallow, but you've just got to look at the little things," Phillips said after Saturday's loss. "Correct some mistakes, and just move on to the next one."

philharmonie zuidnederland
Beethovens Pastorale
A romantic spring walk
Spring is in the air, the fresh breeze beckons... but there is plenty of nature to enjoy in the concert hall too. Freshly mowed grass, a thunderstorm in the distance, the call of a cuckoo. You can hear it all in Beethoven's romantic Pastoral Symphony. The Arcadian yarns of shepherds and shepherdesses and unexpected thunderstorms can be experienced, almost literally, in Beethoven's genius music.
Before the intermission, the lauded German violinist Carolin Widmann (Bayerischen Staatpreis für Musik 2017 and the International Classical Music Award) will perform the Violin Concerto by Benjamin Britten: "It was love at first sight", top violinist Janine Jansen said upon playing this intense piece of music for the first time. "The finale begins like a prayer but ends like a scream. It's very moving".

I've dyed my hair for quite some time now. Whether it be in the salon, bleaching at home, or box dyes, hair dye can take a lot out of your hair.
Olaplex is a top quality salon brand that create products that help restore and rebuild hair follicles. Olaplex is used by many people and especially in salons when using intensive dyeing such as bleach. However, for use at home, Olaplex products can be pretty expensive if you are on a budget. If only they had a dupe…
Superdrug have recently released a new hair care range; shampoo, conditioner, hair repair system, and also a box dye. My hair was in need of dyeing, so rather than using my regular dye, I decided to try this new formula and see how it works.
The Product…
The hair dye box comes with the cream developer and colourant for dyeing, and also the conditioner, like most box dyes. However you are also getting an extra product in there and that is the Bond Reconstructing Treatment. This is to be applied after rinsing out the dye, combed through, and left on for 15 minutes. This product contains the Pureplex Amino-Fix Technology and I'll talk more about this as we go on.
How does it work?
So how does this amino-fix technology work? Well, hair is made of keratin, which is a protein composed of amino acids. When you colour your hair, a lot of these proteins can be destroyed which leaves your hair weakened and possibly damaged. The formula in both the colourant and also the after treatment and conditioner, work to replace these lost amino acids. This helps to rebuild the hair's natural keratin structure and therefore restore your hair, leaving it nourished with volume and shine. Shea butter and argan oil are also infused into the hair dye. Shea butter is great for keeping your scalp healthy. Argan oil also is good for dry scalp and dry hair, helping stimulate hair growth.
Does it work?
This product definitely works. I've never used Olaplex before so I cannot guarantee the comparison. However, this PurePlex treatment did everything that Olaplex also promises to do. My hair was left looking and feeling so soft, shiny, and healthy. Unlike other treatments that I've used, my hair wasn't just made super oily to imitate being shiny and silky. My hair felt stronger than it had in ages. I didn't even feel the need to use other everyday styling products like I usually would, and heat wasn't needed for a straight and silky look. Over the weeks after use, my hair still does feel good but it could do with a freshen up. After using this hair dye and the effects after just one use of the Bond Reconstructing Treatment, I definitely will use this hair dye again. I am also wanting to purchase the PurePlex Revolutionary Hair Repair System, to use between dyeing to keep my hair looking the best it can be.
I was so amazed by this product being just a drugstore box dye and the effect it gave. It gave my self esteem such a boost and I actually felt so good about my hair, like I'd been to the salon. My hair was so straight and silky I kinda even felt like I was in a Herbal Essence advert. If you're a hair dyeing junkie like myself, I'd definitely recommend checking out the range of colours and trying out this product for yourself because I really think you'll be amazed.
Anybody who has used this or has any questions about the product feel free to drop me a message in the comments. I'd love to help! Thank you for reading x

The Olympiastadion in 1936
The Olympiastadion in 1936
In May 1931, the IOC in Lausanne announced that the 1936 Olympic Games would take place in Berlin. Construction began in 1934, based on the designs of Werner March, which were revised upon insistence by the National Sociailist party in 1933, the new plans including the Maifeld parade square and the expanded Waldbühne amphitheatre.
Construction between 1972 and 1973 meant that 26,000 seats in the upper tier were covered by a roof for the 1974 World Cup. The roof was designed by architects Prof. Friedrich-Wilhelm Krahe and Kurt Dübbers.
The Olympiastadion with a roof and floodlights
From 1965 to 1967, four 97.5m-tall floodlights were built outside of the stadium, which had a significant impact on the silhouette of the Olympiastadion. The stands and playing field were separated by perspex glass in 1968.
With the withdrawal of the Allies and Berlin's application to host the 2000 Olympic games, thinking turned to the future of the dilapidated and outdated stadium in 1993.
The finished Olympiastadion upon its reopening
Supporting structures patched up the desintegrating stadium temporarily. In May 1998, the Berlin senate approved of the restoration. The planning consortium gmp'p, consisting of Hamburg-based architectural office Gerkan, Marg und Partner (gmp), Berlin engineering firm Krebs und Kiefer, I'RW AG as well as the IbB engineering firm Professor Burkhardt won the contract in December 1998. Construction was started by Walter Bau AG on 3rd July 2000 in the presence of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, former city mayor Eberhard Diepgen and city development senator Peter Strieder.
On 31st July 2004, the 'new' Olympiastadion was officially opened.
More information on the Olympiastadion can be found on the Olympiastadion website.

|Chrysler Building
|New York City
The Chrysler Building is an Art Deco–style skyscraper located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood on the East Side of Midtown Manhattan, New York City, at the intersection of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. At 1,046 feet (318.9 m), the structure was the world's tallest building for 11 months before it was surpassed by the Empire State Building in 1931. It is the tallest brick building in the world with a steel framework. As of 2018, the Chrysler is the eighth-tallest building in the city, tied with The New York Times Building.Originally a project of real estate developer and former New York State Senator William H. Reynolds, the building was constructed by Walter Chrysler, the head of the Chrysler Corporation, and served as the corporation's headquarters from 1930 until the mid-1950s. The Chrysler Building's construction was characterized by a competition with 40 Wall Street and the Empire State Building to become the world's tallest building. Although the Chrysler Building was built and designed specifically for the car manufacturer, the corporation did not pay for its construction and never owned it, as Walter Chrysler decided to pay for it himself, so that his children could inherit it. When the Chrysler Building opened, there were mixed reviews of the building's design, ranging from its being inane and unoriginal to that it was modernist and iconic. Perceptions of the building have slowly evolved into its now being seen as a paragon of the Art Deco architectural style; and in 2007, it was ranked ninth on the List of America's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects.Source: Wikipedia

What should have been a happy homecoming to Norway for Leif Kristiansen and his family turned into a parent's worst nightmare when Barnevernet (Norway's child welfare agency) brutally took custody of 12-year-old Kai after his parents started homeschooling him.
On Thursday, February 9, Kai was tackled and held face-down in the snow by child welfare services investigators and police officers. In a video of the incident taken by his mother, Kai can be heard screaming "No!" over and over as the police and a Barnevernet investigator attempt to subdue him and take him into custody pursuant to an order from the local court.
The 12-year-old had been ordered into state custody because his family chose to homeschool.
In response to this injustice, HSLDA has launched a petition drive. We are asking homeschoolers all over the world to sign the petition and to contact the Norwegian Embassy in their country to demand justice for Kai and to acknowledge that homeschooling is not a legitimate reason to forcibly remove a child from a family.
Through our Homeschool Freedom Fund, HSLDA will be standing with the Kristiansen family, providing support and counsel. We are committed to following this case even to the European Court of Human Rights if necessary.
Will you join with us and take a stand for young Kai? Please sign the petition and share it with your friends and family. You can also stand with Kai's family by making a financial contribution to the Homeschool Freedom Fund to support the vital international work of HSLDA. Together, we are working to make homeschooling possible here in the United States and around the world.
Update: Kai has been returned to his family! Thank you all for your support. If you'd like to continue standing with homeschooling families all around the world, complete the form below to donate to HSLDA's Homeschool Freedom Fund.Give today »
