This morning I want to show you how to live life to the fullest. How to rise above all of the temptations, trial, and nuisances of this life. How to overcome the world.
And you can overcome the world and Satan too!
A. To wait on the Lord is to stop all activity, quiet yourself, and focus your attention on Him.
B. One can see this definition by the context of the word wait. Consider John 5:3: "In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water."
C. Imagine the painful, desperate, sickly crowd, longing for healing.
D. They stare breathlessly down into the pool of Bethesda, scanning its smooth quiet surface, straining, focused, waiting for the angelic disturbance.
B. RENEW implies a restoration of what had become faded or disintegrated so that it seems like new.
A. A farmer was walking through the forest one day when he found a young eagle that was hurt.
B. The farmer saved the eagle from the dangers of the forest. He took it home and put it in his chicken lot where it soon learned to eat and behave like the chickens.
C. One day a Forest Ranger passed by the farm and asked why it was that the king of all birds is living in the chicken lot with the chickens.
D. The farmer replied since he had given it a home in the chicken lot and fed it chicken feed it acted like the chickens it lived with.
E. It was no longer a great eagle of the wild outdoors but a chicken of the tame chicken lot.
F. "Still it has the heart of an eagle," replied the Ranger, "and can surely be taught to fly."
G. He lifted the eagle toward the sky and said, "You belong to the sky and not to the earth. Stretch forth your wings and fly."
H. The eagle, however, was confused. He did not know who he was, and seeing his friends the chickens walking by and eating their food, he jumped down to be with them again.
I. The Ranger took the eagle from the chicken lot to the roof of the house and urged him to fly again, saying, "You are an eagle. Stretch forth your wings and fly."
J. But the eagle was afraid of his unknown self and this new world and jumped down once more and flapped his eagle wings just enough to get back to the chicken lot for the chicken food.
K. Finally the Ranger took the eagle to a high mountain. There he held the king of the birds high above him and encouraged him again, saying, "You are an eagle. You belong to the sky. Stretch forth your wings and fly."
L. The eagle looked around, back towards the way that they had come from the chicken lot and then up to the sky. Then the Ranger saw another giant eagle soaring on the current of the wind coming toward them.
M. As the giant eagle passed by the chicken lot eagle slowly stretched his wings, and with a triumphant cry, soared away into the heavens.
You too can soar like an eagle.


Visit Montreal (Notre-Dame Basilica, Olympic Stadium and Tower), Ottawa (Parliament Hill, Canadian War Museum), Kingston, Quebec City, Thousand Islands (Thousand Islands Cruise).
Morning departs from Ottawa, passing by Rideau Hall and visiting outside of Parliament Hill and Canadian War Museum. Then continue our museum tour to Canada Museum of History. On the way back to Toronto, we would also pass by Kingston City Hall, Queen's University, and the Royal Military College of Canada.
In the morning you may choose to join the optional tour - Dog Sledding. Then we will start the way back to Toronto. We would pass by Thousand Island where customers may have a chance to take the Thousand Islands Helicopter Ride. We would arrive at Toronto in the late evening.
This was my first trip with this company. The overall trip was a really good experience for me and my friends, and it's worth it for the price! The tour guide Leo Yu was extremely friendly and helpful.
Hi, I really enjoyed the trip, since it provides a comprehensive itinerary for what the trip duration is. The only thing I could suggest, is to have more time at the war and hisory museum.
The tour guide Carmen and Diane the driver were a good combination of professionalism. The food option was ok but the French lunch on the second day was more like snack not food. I was so hungry an hour after the lunch. The meal was not ok. The other food option was ok. The tour generally was a good experience , which I would recommend.
I went there last July 9-11. I had a great time with my family. There are still improvements that can be done with the itinerary. You can replace one of the museums with Jacques Cartier Park during the summer time. Also may need to stay in Quebec City for one night.
We took this tour from Jun 30 - July 2, 2018 which included the summer package. So we got to visit 1000 Island, Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa & Kingston (No stop in Kingston, visit just from the bus). Our tour guide was Leo who was very nice, honest and helpful. We paid for the lunch at 1000 islands on the first day. Rest day lunch & dinners were managed by ourselves. You can easily find places to eat where they stop for the meals. The hotel was far off the city so you could not plan any visit of your own. The breakfast provided at the Comfort Inn Hotel was pretty basic (One muffin, one breakfast bar, a fruit and a juice - It was packed one package per person). We just felt the gratuity fee was higher (For 3 days trip, you pay $36 per person. So for couple it is $72). I suggest to charge $36 for 3 days for a couple is OK to manage. We would love to go for another tour with them as it is very well planned.
Had booked the tour for my in laws. Everything was well-organized and the package was great too! The guide was great. She took care of everyone nicely.
We took this tour from Feb 17 - 19, 2018 which included Ice Hotel, instead of 1000 Island. Our tour guide was Benjamin Ying who was very nice and honest. His instructions were very clear and time management was really commendable. As other reviewer had suggested, we paid for their meal plan upfront and would recommend the same to others too. We felt that food they provided was just awesome, especially the dinner at Chinatown, Montreal and (French) lunch at Quebec City. Some people in our group didn't opt for the meal plan and had a tough time finding an alternative. Note that the breakfast provided at the Quality Hotel was pretty basic (two bread slices, jam, an apple and a juice - limited) and you want to carry something if you are used to heavy breakfast. This tour was operated by Compass Holidays and we highly recommend it to anyone. We have been missing Ben's "Thank you for your attention!" ;-) and would love to go for another tour with him.
We took the tour 2-4 October while on holiday in Toronto. Expectations were low having read TripAdvisor reviews but given the value of the package we couldn't let it go. Tour group was 84% Asian and very friendly and courteous. Our guide Iris and diver Mike from Foley Coaches were great and tours and updates were always provided in Chinese and English by Iris. She was well organised and focused on the importance of passenger safety, punctuality, and use of washrooms. Seats were assigned and rotated front, middle, back daily. I would recommend purchasing the full meal and itinerary package, it's good value and the tour really doesn't cater much for those who go it alone. Everyone on our tour took the full package. Food was mainly Asian buffet with something for everyone. Lunch in Quebec was a French cuisine style selection of Trout or Chicken, nice but not very French. Hotels were clean and comfortable and close to Montreal Airport both nights. Travelodge, nice bar and Quality Suites, nice room but no bar but has an IGA supermarket across the street selling beer and wine. The website describes the itinerary but my favourites were Thousand Islands and Quebec City. We had no bad experiences and would recommend the tour for couples or groups.
Great tour, very good service, I will certainly recommend this.


In 2016, the National Museum of Scotland will unveil ten new galleries. The £14.1 million project will showcase internationally important collections of science and technology, decorative art, design and fashion. The opening will coincide with the 150th anniversary of the magnificent Victorian museum building in Edinburgh.
The science galleries will tell stories of discovery, invention and innovation in engineering, manufacturing, transport, telecommunications, energy, chemistry, physics and the life sciences. Displays will highlight the contributions of eminent Scottish scientists such as Sir James Black, Sir David Jack, James Clerk Maxwell, Sir David Brewster and Professor Peter Higgs. Objects will include Dolly the Sheep, the world's first pneumatic bicycle tyre invented by John Boyd Dunlop in 1888 and the Nobel Prize gold medal awarded to Sir James Black.
National Museums Scotland's internationally significant science collections represent over a thousand years of invention from around the world, up to the present day with recent developments in communications, prosthetics, transport, renewable energy among many other disciplines.
The roots of the national collections lie in the Victorian origins of the Museum. It was originally built to display the collections of the Industrial Museum of Scotland, and opened as the Museum of Science and Art in 1866.
The new design galleries will include work by famous artists and designers with Scottish connections such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Jean Muir, Bernat Klein and Eduardo Paolozzi alongside a host of treasures with global associations from the 13th century to the present, including a silver tea service which belonged to Napoleon, shoes designed by Alexander McQueen and a spectacular section of an interior from Hamilton Palace, seat of one Scotland's most famous noble families before being demolished in the early 20th century.
Showcasing over 3,000 objects, display space for these exhibits will increase by over 40%, with three-quarters of them not having previously been on permanent display for generations.
Also in 2016, the transformation of two hangars at the National Museum of Flight in East Lothian will be completed, with new objects and displays devoted to both civil and military aviation.

Today is the first day of spring! Once again, I made it through another winter but, it wasn't that harsh. Something deep within my soul tells me winter is done.
I believe we are connected with nature; and our ancestors knew winter was a dangerous time because the hardship of the cold and dark season, and why we celebrate the first day of spring.
Now, the temperatures are warming up slowly and more sunny days are coming. The trees are still asleep; I've watched for leaves to bud. Nothing. It won't happen until April.
Also, spring brings severe weather like tornadoes and strong winds. Already, March has been very rainy and windy too in northern Indiana.
I'm wondering if March will roar like a lion, but it will be revealed at the end of March.
My life has been a little crazy for me lately for I have been dealing with a sick kitty. He is feeling better now after I took him to the vet about two weeks ago. The Golden Shadow is back to his old self. It is good to see him running and playing through the house.
I have been focusing on my short story which I am almost done with it. A couple of days ago, I wrote the ending. Now, I need to write the remaining scenes for the climax. Then I will put it aside for a while before starting the editing stage.
Then I will work on another writing project and finish reading some novels that I have been reading.
That's what I've been doing for a couple of weeks.
I didn't do much writing today. I'm dealing with a migraine that is lingering on. For me, it has been challenged staring at a screen for a long period. However, I really want to finish my short story that I've been working on. This evening I managed to write a synopsis for the last four remaining scenes. I thought that I had just two left in my head but when I put my words on the paper (screen) it turns out there was two more in my creative juices. Next, what I want to do is briefly outline each scene so I know where I'm going. But I don't think that's going to happen tonight for my head is just throbbing. That will be my goal for tomorrow.
Well, I wanted to give a quick update on my progress.
I provide my kitty food, water, a clean litter box, heat, security, love, and cat toys. If anything would happen to my beloved kitty, I would be truly upset. My cat is family.
But the law has a different view about pets, and that is determined by what state, county, and city where the owner's residence is located at.
I recently read about an incident involving a rescue group who was contacted about a missing cat that escaped from their foster home over a year ago. The information on the chip stated the cat belonged to the rescue, and a veterinarian's employee contacted them. But, the veterinarian believed the animal was property to the person who paid the bill and refused to provide the rescue with any information about the founder and the animal. The rescue wanted the founder to fill out adoption papers to update the chip's information.
From my understanding, the microchip's purpose is to reunite the pet with its rightful owner.
This incident has me worried about my kitty who has a microchip implant. If my kitty somehow escaped from my house and got lost. A veterinarian can decide a person who found my kitty, provide better care than with me?
Those it is unlikely that would happen.
An animal is found with a microchip, the owner must have time to decide whether they want the animal or relinquish ownership.
The incident with the veterinarian has me concerned about the laws and the procedures to reunite owners with their pets. I hope this is a onetime incident and not an everyday occurrence in the veterinarian world.
I had a migraine all day, so no writing for the second day. Here's another photo of Golden shadow.


It is imperative, and also a requirement of the law, to engage a construction contractor to take care of your construction project. When out to hire a contractor for your construction project, it is imperative that you assess your options and find a construction company that can deliver the dream property. If you are seeking a home for your family and you wish the house to have all the characteristics that match your dream home, you need to find a piece of land and engage a custom home builder. One also needs the services of a contractor when they want to add a room to their home through a home addition project. When hiring a contractor to handle your project, it is essential to keep the following in mind.
The primary factor to keep in mind when finding a construction company to take care of your project is determining if the state and federal authorities license the company to handle the tasks. It is desirable that you hire contractor after they have provided you with a copy of their certifications and licenses from the various authorities. When one engages a contractor who has a license; it means that the contractor provides services in line with state regulations. The fact that the construction company will be providing their services under regulations set by the relevant authorities will guarantee you top-notch services.
It is advisable that you also find a construction company that has insurance coverage for their services. Construction work can be dangerous at times, and this means that there are chances that the workers might sustain injuries or your property will be damaged during the project. If you engage a construction company that has an insurance coverage for their services; you have the guarantee that the damages, as well as injuries that might result from the project, will be taken care of by the insurance firm. You can save yourself from extra cost and hassle should anything sad happen during the project.
When you hire a construction company, assess their reputation and also determine their level of expertise, as these factors determine the quality of the services that they provide. When you want to hire a construction company, to have the guarantee for top-notch services, engage a company that has been in the industry for some years. Before you decide to hire any given commercial construction company, take time and visit a project or two that the contractor managed in the past. Interacting with clients who obtained home addition construction services from a given contractor will help you learn if the contractor you are about to hire is reliable or not.

Made in South Korea, popular in North Korea. The K-Pop group Girls Generation (SNSD).
North Korea's dictatorship has blocked its people from learning about the outside world for more than 60 years. But the wall of propaganda has begun to crack as North Koreans use real-life social networks to illegally share South Korean TV dramas and pop music on everything from DVDs to USB sticks.
Without open Internet access, North Koreans share South Korean dramas or "K-Pop" songs on physical devices with family, friends or trusted acquaintances, according to a U.S. report issued on May 9. Such illegal file-sharing has had a huge impact beyond entertainment — North Korean defectors say it has forced the North Korean regime to abandon some propaganda claims about the outside world.
"I was told when I was young that South Koreans are very poor, but the South Korean dramas proved that just isn't the case," according to a 31-year-old male defector.
The InterMedia report commissioned by the U.S. State Department looked at surveys of hundreds of North Korean defectors who fled to South Korea through China. It found that North Koreans — especially the elite — often get the help of Chinese merchants to smuggle in South Korean TV dramas on DVDs, or USBs and MP3 players filled with K-Pop music. Some people in North Korea's border provinces illegally access foreign TV channels or radio broadcasts.
Many North Koreans leverage the power of their real-life social networks to watch South Korean dramas. A majority of defectors watched the TV dramas with family or trusted friends, rather than alone. Most defectors also reported borrowing or buying the South Korean DVDs from family or friends, rather than buying a DVD on the black market.
North Koreans can legally own TVs, DVD players, radios, mp3 players and USB sticks, and so it's difficult for the North Korean government to control how such technologies are used. A small number of North Koreans also use illegal Chinese cellphones capable of calling outside North Korea — a way of confirming what they see in the TV dramas."Everyone thinks highly of South Korea," according to a 57-year-old male defector.
"They know that China is well off, but that South Korea is even more developed. I became sure of this after asking my relatives and cousins in China whether or not what I had seen and heard in South Korean dramas were true; they said it was."
Young North Koreans have also begun following South Korean K-Pop music trends by using legally owned MP3 players — devices meant for listening to language or school lessons. Most defectors who had used an MP3 player said they used it to listen to K-Pop songs. Some reported buying MP3 players from Chinese merchants that were preloaded with such South Korean music.
"About 70-80 percent of people that have MP3/4 players are young people," according to a 44-year-old male defector. "When you do a crackdown of MP3/4 players among high school and university students, you see that 100 percent of them have South Korean music."
Such illegal file-sharing of South Korean TV shows or pop music carries harsh penalties under North Korean law — punishments that far exceed anything given out by Western courts for illegal online file-sharing. But even the repressive North Korean government has been unable to clamp down on its people's desire for outside entertainment and news.
Fewer North Koreans report on neighbors for such illegal activities than ever before, according to the report. Even North Korean officials take bribes to turn a blind eye or use illegal media content themselves.
"No matter how many people die, the sensational popularity doesn't die," said a 25-year-old male defector. "That is the power of culture."


The Title III-C Nutrition Services Program (NSP) represents a key component of America's strategy for ensuring that the health and social needs of older adults are adequately met. By promoting access to nutritious meals, facilitating social contact, supporting family caregivers and helping older adults maintain their dignity in their homes and communities, the NSP fits squarely within the strategic goals of the Administration on Aging (AoA) to rebalance long-term care provision away from institutionalization and toward home- and community-based services.
The NSP is administered by the AoA within the Administration for Community Living (ACL) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) under the Older Americans Act (OAA). The objectives of the Title III-C NSP evaluation were to provide information to support program planning, including an analysis of program processes (i.e., process study) and to develop information about program efficiency and cost issues (i.e., meal cost analysis). This webinar highlighted findings from the process study and meal cost analysis, including characteristics of meal providers, quality of services provided, program resources and the average costs of both a congregate and a home-delivered meal provided under the NSP.

Here is my code...
    const request = require("request");
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

let posts = [];

                       posts.push(target[key]);
                   }

           });
        });
        return posts;
    },
    orderPostsCollection(postsCollection, sortType, direction){
        if(!sortType && !direction){
            return postsCollection;
        }

        if(sortType) {
            return sort(postsCollection, sortType, direction);
        }else if(direction){
            return sort(postsCollection, false, direction);
        }
    }
};

I don't know if its me or what.. But when I call this code through the api server I just made it duplicates itself over and over.... IE.. The posts array does not disappear, it just adds to itself everytime the page is refreshed..
Also I should add that, I had issues even keeping the posts array in existence across the functions.. I can't array.push to it unless its a global variable. And for some reason my duplicate checking functions do not work on it..

Someone Drilled a Hole in the ISS. Was It A Mistake Or Sabotage?
The director of the Russian space authority noted there was evidence of "several attempts at drilling" with a "wavering hand."

/Iss Leak
From cosmic radiation to space debris, everything in space is potentially dangerous and probably wants to kill you. Thankfully, quadruple-glazed windows keep astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) safe from most of that. But threats coming from the inside — like, say, sabotage? Well, there's only so much you can do to protect people from that.
Granted, sabotage is pretty unlikely. Astronauts typically undergo extensive psychological background checks (and not to mention that anything that puts one member of the crew at risk probably wouldn't be too great for anyone else on board, either). But that's what Russia is suggesting — that ISS could have been sabotaged last week by a current crew member.
Early in the evening on August 29, while the Expedition 56 crew was sound asleep, ISS flight controllers in Houston and Moscow noticed that cabin pressure was dropping. They determined that there was a leak was on the Russian side of the orbital outpost (in a ship that brought astronauts to the ISS in June), but they didn't need to sound all the alarm bells and fix it immediately. The next morning, the astronauts patched up the two-millimeter hole. A little scary, but no real harm done.
Most of the time, it's pretty safe to assume that some sort of meteorite or space debris caused the leak, puncturing the side of the spacecraft from the outside. "The design engineers believe it is the result of a micrometeorite," Dmitry Rogozin, the Director General of Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, said Monday in a televised press conference.
And it's happened before. In 2016, British astronaut Tim Peake shared a photo showing what a tiny piece of space debris could do to the thick silica and borosilicate-glass windows of the space station. The 7-millimeter chip was likely caused by a "paint flake or small metal fragment no bigger than a few thousandths of a millimeter across," according to the European Space Agency. Larger debris could pose a bigger threat —something the size of a pea could disable a satellite or other critical flight instrument. Anything larger than a grapefruit? It could shatter a spacecraft.
But Rogozin scrapped the space debris theory. He now believes the damage was caused deliberately with a drill. He noted on Monday that there was evidence of "several attempts at drilling" with a "wavering hand."
Still, that doesn't necessarily scream sabotage. He gave the astronauts the benefit of the doubt — it could be a "production defect" from testing back on Earth, left there by some hasty employee?
The next steps are to check the Earth version of the craft. But Rogozin still isn't ruling out "deliberate interference in space." Former cosmonaut and current member of Russian parliament Maxim Surayev suggested that an astronaut may have drilled the hole in an attempt to sabotage the space station so that they'd be sent back to Earth.
Mental health on the ISS is something that NASA takes very seriously. Hallucinations and cabin fever are all too real. NASA has yet to see any behavioral emergencies — like, say, an act of violence — in space. But the agency does reportedly have a plan to neutralize an unhinged astronaut, should it become necessary (it involves duct tape, tranquilizers, and bungee cord).
As the investigation into the incident continues, let's hope they don't need to use it.

Laws Of Gravity represents a return to form for The Infamous Stringdusters, one of the most successful bands to emerge from bluegrass in recent years and one that is known for its incomparably tight yet improvisation-infused live shows. Over their decade together, they have won three International Bluegrass Music Association awards, earned a "Best Country Instrumental" Grammy nomination in 2011 and garnered widespread critical acclaim.
Laws of Gravity was recorded in Nashville with Billy Hume (Ludacris, Ying Yang Twins) in the co-producer's chair. Band members Andy Hall (dobro), Andy Falco(guitar), Chris Pandolfi (banjo), Jeremy Garrett (fiddle), and Travis Book(upright bass) are showcased as writers, singers, and players on an all original set of honest songs with a fresh yet familiar bluegrass/Americana/progressive feel.


The HP Omen X gaming laptop has everything you may desire in a top-of-the line gaming laptop.
Due to crypto currency mining, PC gaming hardware is mostly expensive. If you want to build your own gaming PC, we suggest you wait for the price of hardware to drop. However, if you are considering a gaming laptop and are looking for the best money can buy, then there is a contender for you to consider. The HP Omen X laptop is everything you need from a top of the line gaming laptop in a very handsome looking package. It has the latest gaming mobile CPU, a GTX 1080 GPU, G-Sync display, RGB lighting, mechanical keyboard and looks to give any other laptop a run for their money. I had the chance to take a look at the laptop at the launch event and I was lucky enough to play The Witcher 3 on it and these are my first impressions of the machine.
HP has upped the design game in the last couple of years. The HP Spectre was a beautiful looking laptop and that premium design language has been passed on to other HP products as well. A great example of this is the newly launched HP Omen X Compact desktop. For the Omen X Laptop though, HP has kept the design similar to the recently revised Omen 17 laptop. It is a good design with angular sides and sharp edges which give the machine a gamer-oriented look. That said, the biggest crowd puller would be the new integrated RGB lighting on the chassis, which looks really cool and yes, is customizable. HP has moved most of the ports on the back.
This leaves space for more I/O ports on the sides. Hence, you are looking at 3 x USB 3.0 Type-A ports (one on each side). 2 x USB 3.1 Type-C ports, HDMI 2.0a out, Mini DisplayPort, Ethernet jack, SD card reader and the separate microphone and headphone jack.
Powered by Intel Core i7-7820HK, the HP Omen X Laptop, is among the few gaming laptops available today offering overclockable CPU. In India, the machine will be available in three different variants, with the top of the line machine featuring an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPU with 8GB GDDR5X vRAM. To make the most of that GPU, all Omen X laptops will feature G-Sync displays with even the base variant featuring a 120Hz refresh rate. I saw the top of the line variant and with the matte display, it looked quite good.
The gaming performance also seemed quite good. We played Witcher 3 at max settings on the machine. It offered smooth frame rates and great textures, which is basically what you want from an expensive gaming laptop. I will reserve my final verdict on the laptop for the review, but from the little time I spent with it, it looks quite promising.
One of the key differentiating factors this laptop has is the mechanical keyboard developed by the company for this laptop. I had the chance to the use the machine for good 20 minutes while playing Witcher 3 and from what I could perceive, HP seems to have done a good job here. The keyboard has a 2.5mm travel which should be good for gaming and for typing alike. There are independent macro keys as well, in case you want them. The laptop also comes with pre-programmed RGB lighting and full sized keyboard.
Well, the simple answer to that is definitely YES! We know that with the starting price of Rs 2,10,990, not everyone would be running to buy it, but considering the competition, this is a very competitive price. To put things into perspective, the MSI's GT73VR costs about 3.25 lakh rupees. If HP markets this right, we think the company has a winner in its hands, but whether the product is successful is something only time will tell.
Is HP Omen best for me?

Home/Culture and Society/Health and Fitness/Proof in the Prayer
Is prayer a valid option in the healthcare arena?
Proof in the Prayer
Don Ingwerson April 19, 2012 Comments Off on Proof in the Prayer 184 Views
As I started driving down Pacific Coast Highway toward San Diego and points beyond recently, I looked westward to the Pacific Ocean, which was just yards off the freeway. In the ocean I could see a few red markers in the water indicating unsafe swimming conditions because of contamination. Twelve miles further on I passed San Onofre Nuclear Power Station with two off-line generators that have been shut down because of unknown dangers, and then in a few more miles I passed Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, where active maneuvers take place on both sides of our famed Highway 101.
These sights led me to think about how our environment needs continuous, thoughtful protection. As an example, I can remember discussions about the environment with respect to the effects of smog in the Los Angeles basin. Some of the early solutions to the smog problems were just off the wall – such as drilling a hole through the mountains and setting up big fans to blow the air out of the basin into the desert areas. But today that problem is under control because of the ideas that were implemented – and because it was important to the public's health, the economy, and the region's welfare.

But we still have air and groundwater pollution, this time stemming from different sources. Driving through one of the most desirable parts of California, I couldn't help but think about how the environment is negatively affected and how this may affect the health of its residents.
But the reason for today's journey is to talk about health from the perspective of those who are looking for ideas to solve a different challenge. Similar to the various attempts to solve pollution, which led to some success, there are new ideas about how to approach bodily health. Are they worthy of consideration or just today's version of "blowing air out of the basin into the desert?"
I've been seeing a trend in health: that what was previously acceptable in health care is no longer meeting the needs of many people today. Although the federal health care law, which goes into effect in 2014, is modeled on traditional western medicine as the basis for the public's health care, many are using complementary medicine, including prayer. Why this discrepancy between the health care law and what people are using?
I think it comes down to what many feel is scientifically proven as effective. That is why I was very interested in the perspective of Candice Brown, Ph. D. in her book, Testing Prayer: Science and Healing. She says that part of the confusion is with the way that prayer is being studied, and that the procedures used in studying prayer must be corrected. This caught my attention because it talked about a sense of fairness in determining what heals and doesn't heal through the use of empirical methods.
Her book led me to an article she wrote, "What Counts as Legitimate Scientific Research on Prayer?" She states, "Could a placebo effect be responsible for at least some of the outcomes observed after prayer? Absolutely. But a more interesting question is how far do placebo effects extend, and relatedly where do prayer effects fall relative to known placebos? To say it is all placebo and then dismiss further inquiry is about as useful as saying physics is all quantum mechanics anyway, and we know it exists so why bother studying it? Some would argue that if prayer doesn't work for everyone all the time, then it must not yield valid effects. But many medicines are not 100 percent effective, and effectiveness may even vary across genetic groups, but that doesn't mean the medicines are useless."
An early writer on the value of prayer and health was Mary Baker Eddy, who after years of study and testing authored Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. As Candy Brown suggests, "if prayer affects health – for better or for worse – then patients, doctors, and policymakers should all want to know."
I like that reasoning. If I pray and get well, I give prayer the credit. If I take this medicine and I get well, I give medicine the credit. Candy Brown is advocating that we not only need to know if we got better with a certain treatment but we need to know why we got better…or worse.
As people think about health and the value of prayer, they may be having similar thoughts to mine as I was taking my trip along Highway 101. I'm going to look for good indications that the ocean is free from contamination and safe for swimming, that San Onofre will conduct reliable studies before bringing those two generators back on line, and that the Marine maneuvers at Camp Pendleton are not destroying the environment. I hope they will look for the solid rationale that prayer is of value as a form of health care, and not write it off prematurely as "blowing air into the desert".

Bone is composed of two structures: compact bone and spongy bone. Spongy bone porosity highly affects the strength and the physical endurance of bone to carry loads. Most studies use continuum finite element (FE) approaches to model spongy bone and neglect porosity. Neglecting porosity may not efficiently assist orthopaedic surgeons to treat patients who experience bone physical disability. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate an inexpensive approach that simulates spongy bone with more accurate capturing of porosity and less requirements of bone information. The approach is developed through investigating the mechanical characteristics of spongy bone; that is, by creating and analyzing a structural FE model composed of stochastically oriented structural elements or "beams". Each beam element represents a trabecula. In addition, this study investigates the experimental complex biomechanics of foot and ankle bones loaded in eversion/inversion. Further, this study provides a structural-anatomical description that explains the effect of subtalar joint anatomy and screw constructs on its torsional rigidity.

Our legacy expertise in databases, business continuity, replication, performance tuning, and data security has allowed us to help our customers experience less down time, zero data loss, and highly tuned systems that perform and scale.
We have all seen a dramatic increase in demand for cyber-security products and services. Interestingly, the most valued assets companies must protect are in the database. This positions Guardian Eagle perfectly to approach the issue from the inside out. In fact, over the past several years we have seen our legacy data-protection solutions save our customers from data security nightmares, including external attacks that made it past traditional measures.
Historically, most security solutions approach the problem from the outside-in, by deploying better firewalls, intrusion detection, active monitoring, AI, etc. Yet we've see well-known companies have these security measures by-passed and shocking amounts of our personal data escape. Often, we find out companies don't focus enough on their data and face attacks that could have easily been avoided.
At Eagle, we have been protecting our customers data for years through encryption, audit, redaction & masking, redundancies, advanced access controls, and additional solutions that extend out from the data layer. Our data-centric expertise and approach uniquely positions us to improve security and save companies from data nightmares! To better accomplish these newly highlighted goals, we are rebranding the company from Eagle Datagistics to Guardian Eagle.
Our company philosophy is to positively influence everyone we touch. This applies to clients, vendors, partners, and each other. These ideals are reflected in our five core values: Customer Experience, Excellence, Feed Passion, Teamwork, and Good Karma. We are so committed to our core values that each quarter we recognize each other for practicing them in our daily work. In 2016, Eagle Datagistics won the Tampa Bay Business Journal's award for Overall Best Place to work. A large part of winning that award is a reflection on our commitment to our Core Values.
We look forward to continuing to build on great relationships, core values, and industry leading expertise as we pivot the company to focus on protecting your data!

Nell Haynes
Nell Haynes is an Assistant Teaching Professor in Anthropology at Georgetown University. She earned her Ph.D. in Anthropology at American University in 2013 with a concentration in Race, Gender, and Social Justice. She also holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Northwestern University in Anthropology and Theater. Her research and teaching focus on gender and indigeneity in Latin America. In particular, she is interested in the ways that notions of who counts as "authentically indigenous" become expressed through and troubled by popular culture and media. After publishing Social Media in Northern Chile in 2016, she is currently working on my second book tentatively titled Chola in a Choke Hold: Remaking Indigeneity through Bolivian Lucha Libre. The book explores how lucha libre wrestling spectacles, featuring women performing as Andean chola characters, reflect and contribute to current debates over the nature of indigeneity in Bolivia.
Research and Teaching Interests: Indigenous peoples & indigeneity, race & ethnicity, gender & sexuality, linguistic anthropology, performance, media, popular culture, and migration.
Areas of Concentration:Latin America, primarily Andean Bolivia and Chile
Current Research Project: Bolivian Lucha Libre
This project focuses on the "cholitas luchadoras"— female wrestlers who dress in Indigenous Aymara women's attire while wrestling in exhibition events. Nell uses the narratives of these women, along with spectators' and other Bolivians' opinions of the events, to understand shifting notions of what it means to "be indigenous" in Bolivia today. She focuses on the luchadoras to understand how intersections of globalizing forces, histories of racial discrimination, the presidency of Evo Morales, and even discourses of decolonization across the Americas are shifting local understandings of indigenous identification. The project is based on twenty months of fieldwork between 2009 and 2015 during which she conducted ethnographic and linguistic research, including training and participating in wrestling events herself.
Welcome Professor Haynes!
The Department of Anthropology is excited that Professor Nell Haynes will be joining us for the 2018-2019 Academic Year! Nell Haynes earned he…

Now that I am getting caught up on blogging I wanted to share these photos I took earlier this summer. This is one of my very favorite girls in the world. Amy has been such an incredible role model since I met her four years ago. She always has 10 times more going on than everyone else and yet makes it seem completely effortless. She is so determined, beautiful and at times her confidence and courage is intimidating. I am so proud of her for following her heart and not being afraid to step out of her comfort zone. When she graduated last year and moved to Alabama for a year long job I sobbed and wondered how I would ever make it through college without her. This lady is a true gem and I am so thankful to have her in my life. I loved playing around, taking some photos and grabbing dinner on this day.

The 3rd Alternative
Solving Life's Most Difficult Problems
by Stephen R. Covey
Conflict resolution has traditionally involved "meeting in the middle," a "lose - lose" situation in which both sides give up something important to find a solution. In his latest book, legendary management consultant Stephen R. Covey teaches you about the 3rd Alternative, a solution in which no one gives up anything and all sides share in the "win."
The Solutions Focus
Making Coaching and Change Simple
by Mark McKergow, Paul Z. Jackson
Businesses waste precious time and energies attempting to solve problems. Organizations that adopt the Solutions Focus, write Jackson and McKergow, can do a better job of moving the workforce toward the best possible future and away from the finger pointing and blame game of the problem approach. The key is to focus on solutions not problems, the future not the past, and what to do as opposed to who to blame. In other words, instead of fixing problems, find what works and do more of it. A method


This is the moment an armed police officer trains an assault rifle on the window of a suspect arrested in connection with the Westminster terror attack.
The officer, wearing a balaclava and helmet, is seen in the back garden of a suburban house during a raid in Birmingham yesterday.
The raid was one of a series carried out around the country by anti-terror police after Khalid Masood killed four and injured more than 50 in London on Wednesday.
A total of 11 have been arrested as part of the inquiry but Scotland Yard said only four remain in custody - two men aged 27 and 58 who were arrested in Birmingham on Thursday and a 32-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man who were arrested in Manchester on Friday.
Six of those arrested have now been released from police custody and face no further action - two women aged 21 and 26 and four men aged 23, 26, 27 and 28 who were all arrested at addresses in Birmingham.
One of the arrested was Masood's partner Rohey Hydara, 39, who lives at a property in east London's Olympic park.
She has been released on bail until late March.
A neighbour who took the pictures of the armed officer during the raid in Birmingham said: 'I went to my window and there three cops with guns running up to the back window.
The neighbour added: 'They just stood there for like an hour or 45 minutes. I think they were making sure that no one was going to try and escape round the back or anything like that.
A number of local residents said they believe a man from Saudi Arabia lived at the house in the Winson Green area with his wife and children.
Local resident Shekila Sahota, said a man, thought to be in his 40s or 50s, had lived at the address for about a year.
The raid came ahead of the arrest of two more 'significant' suspects this morning as police try to find out whether terrorist killer Khalid Masood was aided by others.
Two people, a man and a woman, were arrested in Greater Manchester in the early hours of this morning and another man, aged 27, was arrested in Birmingham.
Police confirmed a 34-year-old man was arrested in a mews road in the affluent West Didsbury suburb of Manchester in the early hours of this morning.
Residents who live close to the affluent gated community, where properties are believed to sell for up to £500,000, said a car had been towed from the area.
The Met's top anti-terror officer Mark Rowley said police have searched 21 properties around the country, with five searches ongoing this morning, and seized 2,700 items including numerous computers.
Masood, 52, killed 75-year-old Londoner Leslie Rhodes, US tourist Kurt Cochran, 54, and mother-of-two Aysha Frade, 43, as he ploughed into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge. He then stabbed PC Keith Palmer, 48, to death inside the grounds of Parliament.
Scotland Yard have also urged anyone who knew Masood or has any information about him to come forward.
Asked about where the Muslim convert had been radicalised, Mr Rowley said: 'As I have said, our investigation focuses on understanding his motivation, preparation and associates.
encouraged, supported or directed him.
Mr Rowley said officers had spoken to around 3,500 witnesses - including 1,000 who were on Westminster Bridge and around 2,500 who were in Parliament.
He added: 'We remain keen to hear from anyone who knew Khalid Masood well, understands who his associates were and can provide us with information about places he has recently visited.
Asked whether Masood had travelled overseas, Mr Rowley said 'we are looking at his history'.
Separately from the arrests in the Midlands and North West, police were last night searching a flat in east London which previously housed teams during the 2012 Olympic Games.
It is believed the property was home to a Rohey Hydara, who is believed to have lived with Masood in at least three separate addresses.
Last night, the Met said Masood's partner Hydara, 39, was released on bail pending further inquiries. She was arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts.
Neighbours said they saw Masood at the apartment several weeks ago.
Local resident Vera Amade, 21, said: 'My brother saw him a few times quite recently in the last few weeks.
'It was definitely him, the woman has two kids, one of the daughters has just had a baby. They all live in the same flat.
'She was quite polite, there was nothing bad to say about her. He was really nice and polite as well, he was very pleasant.
'I'm very shocked. We were watching it on TV last night and trying to figure out if it was definitely him and it is.
Hydara was also registered as having lived at those three places.
He said they later moved out to the Olympic Village.


Some of us can distinguish it almost immediately. At first our intuitive feelers pick up on the dark, negative energy. Then when their eyes look at us, our inner feelings are confirmed. What we first detected is there staring at us, right in our face.
A creepy and enormous black Bull with 2 horrendous horns. A chill runs down our spine as the predicted prophesy glares straight into our pupils. At dead centre we see nothing but the eye of someone who has but only one agenda, they are a bully.
They constantly need food for their ravenous Ego's, luring in unlikely places all the while on the prowl for their next victim. If you look into their eyes and you notice those horns, let your adrenaline lead the way, there is danger ahead. Adult bull's-eyes can sting like a 1000 bee's.
Their vision is not only what they see with their eyesight, there visionary mission is to control, oppress, torment and intimidate. They may stop at nothing to achieve what they want, they will harass you for as long as they need to, to feed their preposterous and egotistical minds.
If you know someone with a bull in their eyes pay caution, they may not be the friend you think they are. If you encounter a human that gives your Soul a bad taste, you will feel it. Listen to that sticky, uneasy upset feeling you get deep inside, let this be your clue and your guide.
Not all people are like you, there are some that no nothing about compassion, empathy or pride. Those that are different from you, want what you have – your heart of gold.
The goal of the bull's-eye is to chip away at the bullion piece by piece, until there is nothing left but a mere dusting of what used to be glimmering treasure.
Preserve and protect the wholeness and beauty of the person you are, hold tight to the truth of what you represent in the world.
Let the bull's-eye fend for it's self and let it have no part or access to the treasures within you.


of Chanel is made, and gave Chanel coveteurs a chance to witness – during a live runway couture show – the actual process of making couture clothing. Apparently, there was nothing staged about it. He instructed the ateliers to continue their work just as they had back in their actual shop. Um, what?! What an incredible jaw-on-the-floor moment!
Visuals of this runway were precise and alluring, as the collection began in angular shoulders, mimicking the viral inspo trend sunglasses we've been seeing all over social media lately.
It wouldn't be a Chanel collection without a study in tweed, and this season, Lagerfeld not only played with angular shoulders, but also worked a lot of cropped wide leg pants, rounded high-low pseudo-mini skirts, and a fabulous tiered pencil skirt.
As the show evolved, so too did the fabrics and silhouettes. necklines started to become softer and rounded, including one look that brought a sculptural off-the-shoulder high up the neck almost touching the chin in a black striped pencil number.
Nearing the end of the show, the crescendo is clearly marked. Embroidered floral crops were met with plisse skirts and A-lines. Rounded shoulders and hemlines meet ruched duchess satin in sherbet tones.
And then? The final note. The Bride of Chanel. In a cropped pant suit. But then I saw the back, and it got better.
That reminds me. I attended an event the other day, and showed up with perfect looking makeup. Got a few compliments and I was feeling really good about myself, but then the event moved outdoors (unexpectedly) in hot, humid weather. My mid-grade makeup literally started melting away. Thankfully, I wasn't the only one…but I don't want that to ever be me again. So now that I'm reading this, Chanel is in my sights!
