"There is no substitute for a mother's milk." – Martin H. Fischer
One of the greatest joys of a mother is being able to continue giving a baby life after you give it life. That's the art of breastfeeding—feeding your baby life by the ounce daily.
Unfortunately, many mothers struggle with breastfeeding, as they don't produce enough breast milk. They follow all of the rules—proper diet, plenty of water, and sleep—but still can't create enough milk to fully supply their babies.
Moms like this should opt for the assistance of a galactagogue — a substance that's supposed to assist in increasing milk supply. Motilium is such, and it may help with this concern.
Motilium (Domperidone) was originally introduced as a drug used to treat nausea, vomiting and other stomach problems. Though it not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Motilium is a substance that is used to increase mother's milk.
Here's what breastfeeding moms need to know about Motilium.
Is Motilium Safe to Use
Motilium has a history that reaches back into the 1970's. I was originally introduced as its base name, Domperidone, which was used to treat patients suffering from stomach disorders.
In 2004, the FDA refused to approve Motilium as a marketable drug and labeled it unsafe for breastfeeding mothers after two deaths were reported from intravenous use of the drug.
However, these intravenous uses were connected to two cancer patients who were given strong doses of Domperidone.
Motilium for breastfeeding would not be given to moms intravenously. It would be taken as an oral tablet with a controlled dose–strong enough to promote an increase in prolactin, which produces more milk.
Another notable con is that the drug could put mothers at risk of cardiac arrest.
A cardiologist in the UK touched on the idea that Domperidone stretches out the QT Interval affecting certain currents of the heart's cells, increasing the chances of a heart attack.
Nonetheless, the risks of a heart attack from this drug are more common in people who, again, take the drug intravenously, are over the age of sixty, and are taking high oral doses of the drug daily.
When Should a Mother Consider a Galactagogue?
There are many reasons for a mother to turn to a milk enhancing substance to assist with breastfeeding.
Mothers Who Are Candidates:
Mothers of preterm babies.
Mothers whose prolactin levels remain in short supply.
Mothers who have consistently low levels of breast milk.
Women with breast implants or other breast-related surgeries.
Women with prolonged health conditions that affect their hormones.
Mothers of babies who don't latch right away, slowing down the breastfeeding process.
Women who suffer from deficient glandular tissue—undeveloped breasts that don't have enough milk ducts.
Motilium has several side-effects—one of which is a rise in prolactin levels.
Prolactin is created by the pituitary gland, which is a tiny organ in the brand that produces different hormones in the body.
Prolactin is the hormone in a woman's body that promotes milk production.
Since domperidone could possibly raise prolactin and act as a filler for glandular tissue, mothers who take the drug benefit from this side-effect, experiencing an increase in prolactin and a reviving of glandular tissue.
Considerably, women contemplating using the drug should first consult with their physician. A physician will examine a mother's health thoroughly to determine if this drug or any other galactagogue is safe for her to use.
Do the Side-Effects Harm, Babies?
Unlike, Maxolon, Pramin, and Maxeran, which are all forms of Metoclopramide, domperidone has little to no side effects.
Mothers have not noted any concerns such as tiredness, stomach aches, cramping, or irregular bowel movements. Domperidone directly affects the mother's milk supply and only traces of it gets inside of breast milk.
Babies shouldn't experience any side effects at all. Plus, Domperidone is not a drug that mothers have to use long term.
What Is a Safe Dosage?
In a study done by the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, six mothers were given domperidone, ranging 30mg to 60mg daily.
Prolactin levels and milk production was monitored throughout the study.
Two-thirds of the mothers experienced an increase in milk supply at domperidone dosages of 30mg and 60mg.
At both dosages, minimum amounts of the drug were transferred into the mother's milk, with trivial effects on the babies.
Domperidone and its generics are normally sold in doses of 10mg to be taken three to four times daily and should only be used in conjunction with any other drugs if advised by a doctor.
How Fast Does It Work?
Different studies done with different doses have reported effects of domperidone within the first ten days.
Other studies have gone on for weeks before the effects of the drug on breast milk were experienced.
Is It Addictive?
Any drug taken for a prolonged period of time could become addictive.
However, mothers have taken Domperidone with preterm infants all way through the weaning process without any problems or concerns.
That's not to attest that the drug can be stopped cold turkey. It is, in fact, a substance that mothers should gently wean themselves away from.
Give Motilium a Try
Mother's milk knows best. Breast milk is a lifeforce that newborn babies rely on. Every mother should be granted this experience unless otherwise declined.
But, what can a mother do if the natural process is hindered?
For many mothers, the genuine practice of breastfeeding is a struggle. Either the baby doesn't latch on right away, her body doesn't produce milk the way it should, or some underlying breast health issue is getting in the way.
After conventional methods have been approached, the option of galactagogues is available for mom wishing to nurse their babes until weaning age.
There are many forms of galactagogues, but one with proven minimal risks for mother and baby—Domperidone. It has been proven safe with little to no side-effects and results appear within days to a few short weeks.

I wasn't there at the right time unfortunately, but I highly recommend arranging a trip to Costa Rica to coincide with the migration seasons for humpback and pilot whales, so that there is a chance to see these creatures passing through (after all admiring wildlife is one of the things to do in Costa Rica). The good news is that the humpback whale watching season in Costa Rica is really long, so if you plan your trip carefully you'll have great chances to see them – it's one of the things to do in Costa Rica. Other than Drake Bay, the other places to see whales in Costa Rica are Uvita and the Gulf of Papagayo.
With its incredible coastline, it's quite obvious that one of the ultimate things to do in Costa Rica is going to the beach, and moving from one beach to the other on the same day, either on foot or by boat. There are beaches for any taste and needs: my favorite are the ones with white sand and clear waters (much like the ones I am accustomed to, in Sardinia). The good news is that they never get really crowded, to it is easy to find one to relax and explore. Furthermore, all beaches are public which means there is no fees to access and this is very budget friendly!
Surfing is one of the most popular things to do in Costa Rica – this country gets some of the best waves in the world! My friends that regularly go surfing in Sardinia told me that nothing beats the waves of Pavones, Playa Tamarindo, Playa Negra and Playa Hermosa. Those who are keen to learn have plenty of choice for surf camps. Some people even go as far as booking surf holidays. Those who just want to have a try can sign up for a group or individual lesson.
If surfing is not your thing, but you still like being in the water, try stand up paddle boarding. It's quite the thing in Costa Rica lately. Many people sign up for classes, but if you are just in for the fun of it, you can just rent the board and go on your own. It's a nice way to get a good work out (it's much harder than it looks) and explore the coast, the rivers and the lakes of Costa Rica. Most hotels and beaches rent out boards. It's also possible to rent boards or sign up for classes online.
One of the most fun things to do in Costa Rica is going on a boat tour. This is the best way to admire the beaches and the islands of the Pacific Coast. I recommend opting for a private tour as opposed to a public boat, as these may only take you to specific places, whereas a private tour will follow your requests and stops wherever you like, for however long you want.
Among the things to do in Costa if looking for romance and when wanting to relax is going on a sunset boat or sailing cruise. You can do this in many places in the country. The most popular places for a sunset cruise are on the Pacific Coast, for obvious reasons: Playa Tamarindo, Playa Flamingo and Playas del Coco are all excellent places for that.
One of the nicest places for a cruise is La Tortuga island, in the Gulf of Nicoya. Going there is one of the best things to do in Costa Rica. If you don't have your own boat, you can join a guided tour departing from either San Jose or Jaco.
One of the nicest things to do in Costa Rica is going on mangrove tours. For this, make sure to head to the Osa Wildlife Sanctuary, or check out the San Pedrillo or La Llorona Waterfalls. National Geographic sees the Osa peninsula as one of the most "biologically intense" places on Earth.
Among the top things to do in Costa Rica there is zip lining, hiking, walking the hanging bridges. There are few places in the world that offer as much adventure as this beautiful Central America country, and the best area to do it is Arenal.
Sky Trek's zipline tour, which is said to be the most thrilling in Costa Rica, starts with an open-air gondola ride that takes visitors up to an observation area. Here it is possible to take in the amazing views, since it is sitting at around 4100 ft. high. Note, too, that this Sky Tram can be taken by itself if you are not keen to do the zipline adventure afterwards. Still, I think ziplining is one of the coolest things to do in Costa Rica.
There are more reasons why visiting the Arenal region is one of the top things to do in Costa Rica. Indeed, it is possible to pay a visit to some of the hot springs that occur because of the geothermal activity beneath the volcano. Many of these springs serve up fantastic, unobstructed views of the sleeping giant too.
Among the places to bathe and enjoy the thermal waters there are Tabacon, Baldi, Tikoku, Paraiso and Ecotermales.
Hiking is one of the things to do in Costa Rica – the perks? It's great to see wildlife!
With so much nature and so many volcanoes, it's only obvious that one of the unmissable things to do in Costa Rica is hiking. I love volcano hikes (my favorite to date has been that of Mount Bromo, in Indonesia), and hiking in Arenal and La Fortuna is one of the top activities in Costa Rica. However, I also recommend heading to Corcovado National Park for more adventures.
Corcovado National Park is located in the Osa Peninsula, on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. It is one of the most diverse places on earth in terms of flora and fauna, and a paradise for anyone who – like me – loves hiking and wildlife.
Many people go on day hikes in Corcovado. Yet, I think that one of the top things to do in Costa Rica to fully enjoy its nature and wildlife is to go on a long distance hike. This is a fantastic way to see the wildlife of the region, which by the way is similar wildlife to that I saw in Guyana!
Check out my post about wildlife in Guyana.
If you intend to hike around Corcovado (or anywhere in Costa Rica, really) make sure to wear the appropriate gear. Things to keep in mind when setting to hike are the high humidity levels of this part of the world, and the bugs that will feast on you unless you wear long sleeves and pants, and apply bug repellent. I suggest reading my post on what to pack for the jungle to have an idea of what to wear and pack for an adventure trip to Corcovado.
One of the most adrenaline filled things to do in Costa Rica is canyoning – that is, going down waterfalls on a rappel. This literally is a once in a lifetime adventure, and a great way to appreciate all the incredible nature Costa Rica has to offer. The best places to visit in Costa Rica for canyoning are La Fortuna and Arenal, but this activity is now offered in Jaco now.
Few things are as fun as whitewater rafting. I have done it in many places – the last time was in Nepal and every time had a complete blast. One of the most fun things to do in Costa Rica is rafting, and there are several places to do it. The best one is Rio Pacuare, where there are class 3 and 4 rapids.
While many companies now offer one-day rafting tours, one of the top adventure things to do in Costa Rica is going on a multi-day rafting expedition.
One of the nicest places to visit in Costa Rica Tortuguero National Park, which is famous for turtle nesting. Both the park and Tortuguero village can only be accessed via boat – getting there is an incredible ride but it requires a bit of planning – going on a 3 day organized tour of Tortuguero from San Jose may be a good idea. Here's a great one.
Once in Tortuguero, going on a boat tour is a great way to explore the area. If you feel up for the workout and would like to get to the tiniest canals, you also have the option of kayaking – it's one of the nicest things to do in Costa Rica, especially in Tortuguero.
One of the coolest things to do in Costa Rica is riding a tram through the rainforest. Of course I still think hiking is the best way of getting in touch with nature in Costa Rica, but if this is not your thing or you just don't feel like it for whatever reason, a tram will allow you to get through the jungle and admire lots of wildlife, including birds and monkeys. Make sure to also have a guide, whose trained eyes will point to all there is to see!
Most people who visit Costa Rica head straight to the coast – either the Pacific or the Caribbean. Yet, one of the nicest things to do in Costa Rica is exploring the Central Valley. There are many nice places to visit, most of them completely off the beaten path. I truly enjoyed Sarchi – where I must have been the only tourist the locals had seen in a while, and Tucurrique.
Another of the things to do in Costa Rica to appreciate its nature and diversity if walking the hanging bridges of Monteverde. I am a massive fan of hanging bridges – I walked one in Val di Sole recently, and one in Guyana. I found them to be fabulous ways to get views of the forest and (especially in Guyana) of the local wildlife!
In case it isn't clear yet, I am a massive fan of wildlife. One of the nicest things to do in Costa Rica is admiring the wildlife, with many beautiful species that can be seen in various regions. First and foremost, Costa Rica is famous for its sloths. These can be seen in Tortuguero, but I was lucky enough to see them as I walked around in the proximity of Puerto Viejo.
Another of the places to visit in Costa Rica for sloths is Manuel Antonio National Park, which is also great for monkeys. Crocodiles can be seen in Tortuguero, but the best place for them is Rio Tarcoles.
Finally, one of the top things to do in Costa Rica is seeing turtles – nesting and hatching. The best place to see them is Tortuguero National Park. Regardless of the place, make sure that watching the turtles has no impact on them. Things such as intense light and touching are extremely bad for these animals – if you opt for a guided tour to see turtles, make sure this is 100% responsible!
One of the top things to do in Costa Rica to admire wildlife is going on a guided night tour. Most animals are night creatures, and go out of their nests after sunset. This is a great time to spot frogs, snakes and – for the lucky ones – even jaguars. Night walks are offered in Tortuguero Natioanal Park, in Arenal and in Osa Peninsula. Needless to say, you will need a guide for this – first so that you don't get lost, and secondly because unless you are an expert, you'll need someone pointing the animals to you, and following their tracks.
One of the coolest places to visit in Costa Rica is Marino Ballena National Park, which is a great place to admire whales!
Another popular waterfall in the country and one of the top places to visit in Costa Rica is the otherworldly Rio Celeste Waterfall. It's situated in Tenorio Volcano National Park, in the northern region of Alajuela. The waterfall occurs where the Celeste River spills over a cliff and down into a waiting pool below. The freshwater river is an amazing blue color because of a chemical combination of sulfur and calcium carbonate, and as a result, sometimes the waterfall actually glows blue too as it tumbles down. It is a decent hike to get to the waterfall but well worth it for the stunning sight at the end. Tours of Rio Celeste can be booked online.
I am a massive fan of caves – there are several beautiful ones in Sardinia, where I grew up. Costa Rica has some fantastic caves in Barra Honda National Park, in the Nicoya Peninsula. You will need a local guide to explore them, but this is definitely one of the most unique things to do in Costa Rica.
To be fair, Costa Rica isn't the most famous country for coffee. Yet, if you are a coffee fan as much as I am, you will want to go on a coffee plantation tour. It's one of the coolest things to do in Costa Rica. You will basically learn all the secrets of growing coffee, picking it and then toasting the beans and grounding it. And needless to say, you can taste a cup of freshly brewed one and even buy some of it to make it at home.
Coffee plantation tours are offered in various areas in Costa Rica. I did mine in Turrialba, in the central highlands.
Wherever there is coffee, more often than not there is also chocolate. This obviously means that one of the tastiest things to do in Costa Rica is going on a chocolate tour. The best chocolate tours are in the area of Puerto Viejo and in La Fortuna.
Have you ever been to Costa Rica? What are the things to do in Costa Rica that you enjoyed the most?

Ted Douglas
It's with great sadness we have to say a final goodbye to Ted Douglas.
Ted was a lovely, warm, fun-loving man. For almost all his life Ted worked on the land. He didn't have time for retirement either! When he did eventually stop working, he still helped out at harvest time until his health wouldn't let him drive a tractor any longer.
When his health started to let him down Ted didn't lose his sense of humour. We'd often sit in the bus shelter waiting for the bus and Ted would have a fund of funny stories all ready to share. The only thing which made him cross was when he couldn't tend his garden the way he wanted to. And Ted's garden was beautiful. flowers or vegetables, Ted had the magic touch when it came to making things grow.
He was also a staunch supporter of the Village Hall. He was determined to go to every event and someone was always on
hand to give him a lift there and back.
Ted was a family man through and through. His was a quiet, proud love, but it shone in his eyes, his family meant everything to him.
Yet you can't mention Ted without thinking of Betty.
Theirs was an old-fashioned love which grew deeper and stronger with every year. In time that love stretched to include children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. There was plenty to go around, and lots left over for friends and neighbours.
Ted will be sadly missed by so many people. With deepest sympathy to all the family...
The Pub Lads
WOW! What a night that was. The Village Hall was packed and the music really rocked!
Skeffling's very own band, The Pub Lads, are getting better and better. And this time they had a new drummer. Another Skeffling lad (albeit a newbie!).
Ben Briggs hasn't been living in the village very long, but, happily, he moved in with his drum kit.
He's been playing since he was 14, and previously played local pubs in and around Beverley. He hasn't played for 4 years, he's been busy studying and getting a degree. Then The Pub Lads offered him a job and Ben thought he'd give it a try.
When I asked him how he was settling in with the band, he said: "I'm having fun and enjoying it. I love playing live music! I've only had about four rehearsals, but it's great to be drumming again!"
As well as The Pub Lads, Andy Wells sang a few of his own special songs about local people and the area. There was also a solo spot by Eddy Moxon, another very talented local teenager.
But the highlight of the night was the auction. There was only one lot, a brand new acoustic guitar with the price label still attached!
The bidding went up to £100 and it was sold. We were then told that it had been bought by a consortium of local people and it was the fourth time it had been auctioned this year! They always made sure they got the guitar then donated it for the next gig! Generous people in these parts.
And the generosity shone through that night, to the tune of £1,150.90p. All of which will go to this year's nominated charity, Pancreatic Cancer.
It was the highest money every raised at the Village Hall. It really was a fantastic night, and that, as they say, is rock 'n' roll..
Cherie Lawrence
Cherie Lawrence has been to the Village Hall three times now, and been a success every time. She's a talented singer and covers a range of material to suit every taste.
It was a lovely evening with music from the 40s up to the 90s. Cherie is a very versatile singer and a great entertainer.
Supper was spit roast chicken and salad, followed by all the delicious cream-filled puddings, as well as cheese and biscuits for those who don't have a sweet palate!
Hopefully, Cherie will be back again soon. She certainly knows how to make an evening go with a swing...
At the Village Hall AGM the Chairman, Lynda Payne, said that very little had happened during the financial year. It had been hoped that general maintenance and repair work would be carried out on the playground but due to various other commitments this did not happen. Since the work carried out in July on the Wind Turbine everything seems to be working well.
This year, for the first time in the Village Hall, we held a play which was enjoyable and well supported. It is our intention to have another during the coming year.
Bonfire night was a success and our thanks again to those who donated financially and in various other ways to make the evening a success.
Big Skeff Charity Group
All the functions carried out during the year were well supported with the proceeds going to RED. This was the charity chosen by James Robinson for adults with learning difficulties being given the opportunity to become more involved in running their own nightclub and for those who chose to perform on stage.
With the donation received from Big Skeff Charity Group they are hoping to plan workshops so that some of their members can become more involved in providing dance displays and DJing
on RED nights. They are hoping this could lead to an ongoing musical theatre. They would like to invite anyone who is interested to attend one of these evenings.
All our other functions were a success and our thanks to everyone for their kind donations.
My thanks to the committee for their hard work during the year.

Saturday, 23rd March, something new to the Village Hall. Coleen's Fancy is an Irish Folk Duo, and to complement the music there will be a traditional Irish Supper. You'll have to wait and see what that is, but I'm sure it'll be superb. Where food's concerned the Village Hall Ladies never let us down!
As with last year, unless otherwise stated, tickets will be £10 for adults, £5 for children and £25 For a family ticket.
The Charity for 2012/13 was chosen by Lynda Payne and is Pancreatic Cancer.

Well, that's it, folks, the last Skeffling News.
I hope that over the years you've found it interesting to read, informative, and even educational at times.
Last week I was asked if this really is the last issue. I'd like to say never say never, so now and again in future you might find a copy of Skeffling News on your mat.
I know a lot of people keep it to hand for news of local events, so maybe there'll be a special edition for Village Hall events.
Thank you all, once again, for your support, encouragement and help..
Editor's News
I am sorry to have to tell you that this will be the last issue of Skeffling News. My 8 years as Editor have been a lot of fun and I've enjoyed it immensely, but I feel the time has come to call it a day.
Time is so precious to all of us and just recently I have taken on some new projects and there aren't enough hours in the day to accommodate everything I now have to do.
I'd like to thank the many people who have helped over the years, in particular Sue Turnbull and Syd Rollinson for delivering Skeffling News to the outskirts of Skeffling, Welwick and Easington. I really couldn't have increased the readership without them. Also I'd like to thank Thomas Hessell for doing his share of deliveries, and for regularly posting it on the Skeffling Community Website. It's really lovely to know our local news is being read all over the world by ex-Skeffling residents who still keep in touch.
Finally, I'd like to thank all of you who have supported Skeffling News over the years. Without you, it wouldn't have been such a pleasure to write. Thank you all.

Jacobson's Journal
Abandoned and Broken, Forgiving and Healing (Kol Nidrei Sermon 5777)
In his 2014 essay, "My Daughter and God,"[1] author Justin Cronin reflects on his family's life after his wife Leslie and daughter Iris endured a baffling car accident that they should not have survived. "The car had been utterly obliterated," Cronin explains, "but there was no blood, no pain, no evidence of bodily injury to either of them." Even the EMT remarked, "Nobody walks away from something like this."
After the accident, Cronin's daughter Iris reacted by spending the week after the accident on the floor of her closet. She rejected any conversation on the subject for more than three years. When Cronin brought up the accident at that time, he asked Iris, "How did you feel?" and she responded with only one word, "Abandoned."[2]
We rarely verbalize such a word in our sanctuary, a word that encapsulates the seeming difficulty that many of us may have, from time to time, with the word "God." Abandoned. Deserted. Ignored. Dejected. Rejected. Disposed of, chucked out, cast aside, left alone. Abandoned.
Ever felt this way before? Ever sit there during services, trying to cope with the notion of children being shot at in schools, or innocent people being massacred in movie theaters, and Baruch a-ta, blessed are You, doesn't really cut it? Ever refuse to come to services, because you've seen too much religious violence and terrorism in the world, and would rather raise a fist and rail against the seemingly silent heavens than sing along joyfully to Oseh Shalom? Ever consider that so little of our liturgy actually speaks to our real pain - the loss of a job, a suffering marriage, a prolonged inexplicable illness, the dreadful silence of a casket being slowly lowered into the earth? You know, real pain, when the universe pushes you to the brink of disbelief, and you simply hear yourself asking, "God, are You really out there?"
Abandonment is much more prevalent a feeling than any of us would ever want to discuss. But a few weeks ago, I posted a question on Facebook, "If you had the chance to ask one and only one question of God, what would it be?" Why do bad things happen to good people? Why are there so many unanswered prayers? Why did my best friend, my spouse have to die? Why are we here? Why do people hate? Why is this world that You created so messed up? Why did you allow the Holocaust and other genocides to happen? Question after question, one "why" appeared after another. We are exasperated by deep questions that go unanswered and unresolved. We want and we crave so much from our Jewish tradition, but given the state of the world and aspects of our own lives, that "deeper meaning," that sense of "satisfaction" and "wholeness," a feeling that "things are really right with the world," can be so painstakingly elusive. Many of us feel abandoned.
Yet questioning, wrestling, struggling and doubting as we do, we return to the synagogue on this night of Kol Nidrei. Why? Why confess our sins, acknowledge our misgivings and give voice to transgressions for which we may not be responsible? Why go through the meaningless chest banging and recitation of seemingly useless verbiage when most of us are pretty good people who try our very best? Is this whole day of confession and purification and self-denial really going to make a difference in the world? Can our observance of Yom Kippur actually offer us some healing from the profound brokenness, abandonment and loss we encounter in our lives and world?
Yes, it can. Yes, it has. Yes, it will. None of us enters this sanctuary full, complete, a finished product, having worked "all of it" out. We enter this sanctuary only as we are, only amidst the reality of our lives, only as human, and to be human, is to be anything but complete. How we endure and support one another in times of abandonment, how we own our brokenness, how we recognize our own humanity and humanity in others, is where and when we find our greatest strength. Yom Kippur is about forgiveness - forgiving ourselves, forgiving others, and even for one small, seemingly inconsequential twenty-five hour period, forgiving the world, and forgiving God for the imperfect nature of the universe's existence.
But as we try to begin again, allowing that kind of clean slate is so very hard. Yet last year, after Dylann Roof killed 9 people at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, Nadine Collier, daughter of one of the victims, was shown on CNN offering her forgiveness to the killer. Many of us sat stunned watching this interplay. We speak of abandonment, but her mother had just been brutally murdered, and here she was, forgiving her mother's killer. How could she find the strength and courage to find such forgiveness in her heart? A year later, in a recent interview, Collier commented that she still misses her mother and that moving on has been difficult. But nonetheless, "forgiveness is power," she said. "It means you can fight everything and anything head on."[3]
Powerful words for sure, and yet, an even harder practice, given the unspeakable tragedy she endured, and given how life can be so chaotic, unpredictable, and at times senselessly tragic. We never know what another person or life's circumstances will do to us. But forgiveness is power. Forgiveness allows us to begin letting go of some of the pain, the heartbreak and even the grudge. Forgiveness allows us to begin moving on, so that our lives are not consumed by feelings of abandonment, brokenness and loss.
Some of our biblical ancestors knew these feelings all too well. How could Joseph forgive his brothers after they cast him into a pit and sold him into slavery?[4] How could Aaron continue to serve as High Priest after witnessing the tragic and untimely death of his sons Nadav and Avihu on the altar?[5] How upon learning of Haman's plans to kill the Jews of Persia, could Esther, at risk of her own life, have the strength to approach King Ahasuerus and let him know of Haman's nefarious intentions?[6] How could Moses turn around, remind the Israelites of the Ten Commandments and their obligations to God and to one another, and even say Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad after God told him that he would not enter the Promised Land for failing to speak to a rock?[7]
Somehow our broken, seemingly abandoned, deeply human biblical ancestors found a way to forgive life, and even to forgive a seemingly absent God, moving forward purposefully in their life's quest. That we still read about these characters year-in and year-out means that there are still life lessons that we can learn. That our people's history is one of exile, dispersion, torture, massacre, slaughter, and challenge on all sides from unforgiving enemies, but that somehow, over three thousand years later, we are still here, should say something. Maybe it says, somehow, through forgiveness of events beyond our control, we find a way to move forward purposefully in our lives.
The truth and reality of this thing we call life, is that life breaks us, day in and day out, and it is so painfully hard to avoid feelings of hopelessness and abandonment. Retaining faith that there is a higher Power, or even retaining faith in life itself, is challenging, and at times, heart wrenching and soul crushing, but succumbing to a life of faithlessness and hopelessness would be even worse.
But we must remember that our broken, abandoned, human journey is more than faith, feeling, and forgiveness. Our shared brokenness defines and strengthens us as a people and is a catalyst for healing, for compassion, and ultimately for action. Bryan Stevenson is an author, an NYU Professor of Law, and an attorney defending inmates on Death Row. At the conclusion of his monumental book Just Mercy, he writes how he often thought of walking away, of turning his back on the people that he has come to serve, because he felt broken by his work. But in the truth of his confession, he teaches:
[Our] brokenness is also the source of our common humanity, the basis for our shared search for comfort, meaning, and healing. Our shared vulnerability and imperfection nurtures and sustains our capacity for compassion. We have a choice. We can embrace our humanness, which means embracing our broken natures and the compassion that remains our best hope for healing. Or we can deny our brokenness, forswear compassion, and, as a result, deny our own humanity.[8]
Our synagogue remains one of the few places in our lives where we can express our brokenness, with each other, with God, and emerge personally stronger, challenged to share in life's journey with one another and continue giving back to our fractured world. Rabbi Paula addressed us beautifully on Rosh Hashanah morning, inviting us, along with our teenagers, to accept environmental responsibility, to truly become stewards of our broken earth. Our temple does not yet recycle. Will you step forward to help us create a new initiative?
We take seriously the responsibility of participating in the Family Promise homeless shelter and "Feeding the Hungry" at the Bergen County Human Services Center but we need more volunteers and we need members to help coordinate our efforts. Will you step forward and be a leader?
With ongoing violence and displacement in Syria, we are facing the worst refugee crisis in the history of the world. Congregations across America are launching initiatives to support the cause of Syrian refugees. Will you step forward and join me for a conversation about how our community can help?
In the coming year we are looking to build on the concept of becoming an even more caring community. When we ask for a minyan we are blessed to have a minyan at funerals and shiva. We are able to support congregants in time of need with meals and cards and phone calls. Rabbi Paula and I are able to visit most, if not all, of our community and family members who request our pastoral presence. But we can and must do more of this sacred work, sheltering and embracing one another, through the difficult aspects of life's unforgiving journey. We need your help. Are you willing to help make phone calls, to be trained in conducting hospital and convalescent visits, to reach out to members of our community so we can extend the support that we presently offer?
Community exists so that we surround ourselves and we surround others with other thinking, thoughtful, caring individuals, sharing our questions, instead of hiding from them. Community exists so that we embrace and cherish one another, we celebrate, we comfort, we support. Community exists so that we might have a place we can call sanctuary and use that space in order to regroup. Community exists because some of us need a place to talk to God; all of us need a place to talk to one another and because both forms of conversation strengthen us and enable us to respond to life's difficulties and brokenness in kind.
Together as a community, we look inside ourselves, we look at others around us, we think of those who are suffering and in pain, and we resolve, no matter how shattered and abandoned we may feel, to continue finding a way, to continue going on. But God, even as we wrestle with feelings of abandonment and brokenness, we ask that You help us to see that there are still glimmers of light and hope and that we can be those glimmers, those sparks of the Divine. Help us to use our brokenness to see the depths of our own humanity, and the depth of humanity in others whom we encounter on life's path. When life breaks us, give us strength. When life becomes difficult for others, enable us to respond with compassion and with kindness. Grant us forgiveness, give us the strength to forgive others, and inspire us to continue engaging in the sacred work of healing our broken world. And help us, please, help us to remember, in the words of the Kotzker Rebbe, "There is nothing so whole as a broken heart."[9]

Woman's ex-boyfriend convicted in death of Zymere Perkins
By The Associated Press Updated January 15, 2020 10:31 PM
NEW YORK - (AP) -- A Manhattan jury convicted a man Wednesday for the murder of his ex-girlfriend's 6-year-old son, Zymere Perkins, whose death ignited changes to the city's family service system.
Rysheim Smith, 46, of Harlem, was convicted of murder, manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child in connection with the Sept. 26, 2016, death of Zymere. Smith was the boyfriend of Zymere's mother, Geraldine Perkins, at the time of the child's death.
Prosecutors said that Smith and Perkins both beat the boy, with the most fatal blows coming from Smith. Perkins agreed to plead guilty to manslaughter in exchange for testifying against Smith.
Zymere was starved and tortured for months, prosecutors said.
"The death of Zymere Perkins was an unthinkable tragedy that sent shockwaves through the city and inspired a reckoning with how our social services system works to protect New York's most vulnerable," said Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. in a statement. "As proven at trial, Zymere was an innocent and helpless six-year-old boy who suffered unconscionable, ongoing violence at the hands of Rysheim Smith."
On the day of the child's death, Smith became upset because Zymere defecated inside the family's Harlem home. Prosecutors said Smith then beat the boy unconscious.
Perkins testified that Smith cursed at her son and poked him in the stomach with a broomstick. She said Zymere probably didn't use the bathroom because there wasn't any electricity in the home, and he was scared of using the restroom in the dark.
Perkins said Smith later waterboarded the boy before pulling a shower rod down on him and beating him again.
Smith went out to get breakfast following the beating, Perkins said, also admitting that she did not do anything to stop him during the attack.
She said she cleaned Zymere's body, read her bible and did her makeup and her hair before taking her son to the hospital.
Smith's attorneys attempted to sway jurors that Perkins was responsible for the child's death. But prosecutors said Perkins shares the responsibility with Smith.
She received a two-to-six-year prison sentence in exchange for her testimony.
The state Office of Children and Family Services detailed multiple failings by the Administration for Children's Services and ordered Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio to appoint an independent monitor to oversee the agency for their handling of Zymere. The agency's commissioner resigned and three ACS officials were fired.
Smith is scheduled to be sentenced in March 27.

Such an honor to be awarded 2017 Atlanta Air Cargo Person of the Year.
On Monday, June 26 2016, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport officials, as well as the Metro Atlanta Chamber and the Atlanta Air Cargo Association hosted there annual recognition to the companies and employees who create a positive impact on the cargo community around the area. As well as other import individuals that were there, two people stood out over the others, Elliott Paige and Roosevelt Council, Jr. Mr. Paige is the director of air service and strategy for the most busiest airport in all the United States, as well as directs under Mayor Kasim Reed for any type of discretion or concerns. Mr Council is the Deputy General Manager, as well as the Chief Financial Officer for Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. With these high ranking officials in the building, it shows the importance of the event as well as the impact the awards have to the Atlanta cargo community. During the luncheon, very few awards were given out to select companies to show the airports appreciation, but only one single person out of the whole community was chosen for their impact to the scene. Out of every employee, everyone company owner, every donor, anybody that has made an appearance in the cargo community, only one person was selected as the 2017 Atlanta Air Cargo Person of the Year, and that person, was Justin Taylor. This award was awarded to the person who not only made a large impact in the community, but also proved excellence in his trade and leadership to his fellow peers and coworkers. This award was presented by Mr. Paige to Justin to show that this wasn't only was this a small community decision, but as well as a decision that was made very carefully and precisely by the people that see it most fit.

Hornady Fights Cancer with Critical Defense Lite Ammo
Hornady has now donated more than $1 million over the last several years through a joint contribution to the GRACE Cancer Foundation and American Cancer Society.
by NRA Women Staff posted on December 14, 2022
News, Lifestyle, Gear
October is famously now known as "Breast Cancer Awareness month," and is when we see the ubiquitous pink ribbon adorning thousands of products throughout the month, with portions of sales going toward the cause. This includes some in the firearm industry, like Hornady Ammunition, which has once again contributed a portion of sales of its pink-tipped Critical Defense Lite, packaged in special a pink ribbon designed box, to fight the disease. Just how successful has this initiative been?
We've just learned that Hornady recently donated another $75,237 to the GRACE Cancer Foundation in Grand Island, Nebraska, with a matching amount going to the American Cancer Society, for a total donation of, $150,474 split evenly between the two organizations.
Through this initiative, Hornady has now donated more than $1 million over the last several years through a joint contribution to the GRACE Cancer Foundation and American Cancer Society.
"Each year, we are blown away by the generous donation given by Hornady," said Sarah Koch, executive director of GRACE Cancer Foundation. "Through their generosity, we have been able to provide hope for over 200 patients this year with over $209,000 in financial assistance. All of this would not be possible without their significant support and contribution," Koch added.
The donation was calculated using a portion of each box sold of Hornady Critical Defense Lite ammunition in 9 mm and 38 Special. Critical Defense Lite features a pink bullet tip and pink ribbon packaging to help showcase the fight against cancer.
"The GRACE Cancer Foundation and American Cancer Society are two organizations we hold very dear to our hearts," said Renae Waltemath, Hornady director of sales. "Both of these organizations positively impact the lives of cancer patients and their families each and every day, we are honored to support them," Waltemath added.
The GRACE Cancer Foundation assists cancer patients who live within 40 miles of Grand Island, Nebraska, or are being treated at the Grand Island or Hastings Cancer Centers. Help is available through several methods, such as gas cards, assistance with medical bills, household expenses, and more.
The American Cancer Society's mission is to free the world from cancer by funding and conducting research, sharing expert information, supporting patients, and spreading the word about prevention.

Mini Clubman Facelift Makes Spy Photo Debut
The British company plans only minor visual improvements for the cute hatch.
Jun 07, 2018 at 8:27am ET
By: Angel Sergeev
Revealed for the first time in 2015 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Clubman is Mini's entry into the premium compact hatchback segment. It has six, not five, doors, and can accommodate up to five passengers in its retro-styled cabin. This model is now being prepared for a facelift and these are the first spy photos of it, taken in Munich, Germany.
Mini working on new products:
Mini Cooper Electric Returns In New Spy Photos
Mini Cooper Electric Test Mule Spied For First Time
2018 Mini Cooper S Spotted With Union Jack Taillights
Not much is happening with the Clubman's design, as it is easy to see only the front end and parts of the rear are covered with thin camouflage foil. Our spies tell us the headlights and taillights should receive revised graphics, and that's pretty much everything the designers are currently working on. We guess some modifications could also be made to the bumpers, but everything seems unchanged in these first spy photos.
The interior of Clubman is already featuring some high-quality materials and real leather upholstery, so the tweaks here could be focused on the infotainment system, which could receive the latest tech from parent company BMW.
Based on the UKL2 platform, the vehicle is motivated by its front wheels and there's also and AWD version. The basic powertrain design of the car won't be changed with the facelift, so we can only expect some improvements in the engine department. For example, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder of the Cooper S model and the 1.5-liter inline-three turbo unit, as well as the diesel offerings for Europe, should all be tweaked to meet the new WLTP standards.
Despite its slightly dropping sales this year, the Clubman is still a strong seller for the brand. Since the beginning of 2018, according to data from CarSalesBase, Mini has shifted no less than 1,743 Clubmans in the United States and more than 9,243 units in Europe alone. The model is playing in a niche segment and is one of the most expensive vehicles on sale, so, while relatively small, these numbers are a good achievement.

Gone are the days when websites were only owned by corporate bigwigs. Come 2017, even a paan-waala can have a website, thanks to the heightened awareness. People are aware of the power of internet and everything thing it can do. In today's world I can say (jokingly), "bina app / website waale startup ka wajood hi nahi hai" (There's no place for startups without an app/website in the current scenarios). Netizens now have access to a lot of resources and information at their tips. Hosting a website is surely one of them. Most of the web hosting plans come with unlimited email ids. However, with Google opening up, you can now host your email ids on Google Apps G Suite.
Most of the email services provided by the web hosting companies as a part of their package have limited space. If you are going to use this email id as a primary one, I suggest you to opt for Google Apps G Suite as it provides you (each user) with a total space of 30GB which is more than sufficient for anyone.
I'm pretty sure that if you have a website, you would also be having one of the trademark contact us or info email ids. And I'm also sure that you would be receiving a lot of mails on it too. Since your website and email is 'sitting' on the same server, if your website is down, even your email will be down too. And you surely cannot afford to miss any emails, Can you ? Another reason why you should shift to Google Apps G Suite as it is more reliable and guarantees amazing up-time.
Most of these web mail services provide access to your mail server over POP3 or IMAP. However many a times configuring these on multiple devices is a pain. More often than not you are stuck with the security settings and take a lot of time to configure the email on your device. However with Google Apps G Suite, setting up the email is a breeze. You can use the default GMail apps across all your devices to access your email.
I'm pretty sure that you might be doing a lot of work before you send an email. You might want to create a meeting request and share it across. Or probably create an invoice or a presentation to share. How many times you wondered that your existing email service provider a service to do all this ? With Google Apps G Suite you get access to Google's powerful apps like Docs, Sheets, and other which are seamlessly integrated with your email id. Thus you can increase your productivity by using G Suite.
Of all the reasons mention as to why you should ditch your existing email to Google Apps G Suite, reliability is one major concern. If you get a lot of email (important ones) and don't want the sender to receive a Mailer-Failure-Daemon email, you should substitute to G Suite. With G Suite, you are always guaranteed that every email will reach you no matter what. Plus with services like calendar and drive, you can do a lot more with your email id.
How much to do you pay for Google Apps G Suite in India ?
The Google Apps G Suite is currently available as a 14 day Free Trial in India. Post this you can pay in two ways. A flexiplan or a fixed rate plane. For the flexiplan, Google charges Rs 150 per user per month. You can avail a discount of Rs 300 if you opt for a fixed term plan. G Suite is available for Rs 1500 per year excl taxes. I'm sure if you are worried about your email, this ain't a big price to pay.

Sir Littleton Ernest Groom (* 22. April 1867 in Toowoomba, Queensland; † 6. November 1936 in Canberra) war ein australischer Politiker und unter anderem Außenminister des Landes.

Frühes Leben
Groom wurde in Toowoomba, Queensland geboren und besuchte die Toowoomba Grammar School, wo er Kapitän der Fußball- so wie Cricketmannschaft seiner Schule war, und das Ormond College, die Universität Melbourne, auf dem er ein Jura-Stipendium erhielt. Danach arbeitete er als Anwalt und aktiver Richter. Im Juli 1894 heiratete er Jessie Bells.

Politische Karriere
Groom war ein australischer Nationalist und trat für die Erweiterung der Macht des Commonwealths und dessen industrieller Stärke ein. 1904 unterstützte er die Regierung von Chris Watson. Während der zweiten Amtszeit von Deakin war er von Juli 1905 bis Oktober 1906 Innenminister. Im Oktober 1906 wurde er General-Anwalt von Australien. Dieses Amt übte er bis zur gescheiterten dritten Amtszeit Deakins im November 1908 aus. Es gelang ihm, Gesetze zur Versorgung von Invaliden und Alten des Commonwealth einzuführen.

Mit Beginn der vierten Amtszeit von Deakin im Juni 1909 bekam Groom den Posten eines Außenministers, den er bis zur Wahlniederlage 1910 bekleidete. Nach 1910 wurde er ein hartnäckiger Widersacher der Labour Party und bemängelte unter anderem deren regierungseigene Commonwealth Bank of Australia und deren Versuch, ein Monopol zu begründen. In der Regierung Joseph Cooks von Juni 1913 bis September 1914 war er Handels- und Verbraucherminister.

Nationalistische Regierung
Groom war während der vierten Amtszeit Hughes' von November 1917 bis März 1918 Vize-Präsident des Executive Council und von März 1918 bis Dezember 1921 Arbeits- und Eisenbahnminister. Er entschied unter anderem den Ausbau der Eisenbahn und war an der Entscheidung beteiligt, den Regierungssitz nach Canberra zu verlegen. Im Dezember 1921 wurde er erneut General-Anwalt. Auch war er Handels- und Verbraucherminister, sowie australischer Gesundheitsminister im Mai und Juni 1924 aufgrund von Austin Chapmans schlechtem Gesundheitszustand. Er führte die australische Delegation zum fünften Treffen des Völkerbundes in Genf 1924. Nach einem kläglich gescheiterten Versuch "fremde" Arbeiter abschieben zu lassen und nach mehreren politischen Verfehlungen musste er im Dezember 1925 zurücktreten.

Sprecher
Nach seinem Rücktritt war er von Januar 1926 bis 1929 Sprecher des Repräsentantenhauses. In der Zeit überwachte er den Umzug der Regierung von Melbourne nach Canberra. Da er jedoch weiter am Commonwealth und Australiens Abhängigkeit zum Mutterland festhalten wollte, scheiterte 1929 die Regierung um Stanley Bruce. Die unzufriedene Nationalist Party of Australia stellte erfolgreich einen Kandidaten gegen Groom auf. Damit war Groom der erste Sprecher, der seinen Sitz in einer Wahl verlor.

Groom kehrte zu seiner Anwaltskanzlei in Brisbane zurück. Bei der Wahl 1931 wurde er als Unabhängiger wiedergewählt und trat der United Australia Party im August 1933 bei. Von 1932 bis 1936 war er Manager des Konkursrecht-Ausschusses. Er starb in Canberra an der Zerebro-Kreislauf-Erkrankung. Er hinterließ seine Frau und eine ihrer zwei gemeinsamen Töchter.

Groom war zusammen mit Sir John Quick Autor der Judicial Power of the Commonwealth im Jahr 1904 und Teilautor zahlreicher Veröffentlichungen in Queensland.
Als Mitglied der anglikanischen Kirche kam Groom die Ehre des Order of St. Michael and St. George zuteil. Er wurde im Januar 1924 für seine Verdienste in der Politik in den Ritterstand erhoben. 1984 wurde ein Wahlbezirk nach ihm benannt, so wie in seiner Heimatstadt Toowoomba der Groom Park.

Grooms älterer Bruder, Henry Littleton Groom, war lange Zeit Mitglied des Queensland Legislative Council.

If you have any pain while brushing or have any questions about how to brush properly, please be sure to call the office at Uyesugi Dental Phone Number 408-279-4337.
Dr. Uyesugi and Dr. Takeda recommends using a soft to medium tooth brush. Position the brush at a 45 degree angle where your gums and teeth meet. Gently move the brush in a circular motion several times using small, gentle strokes brushing the outside surfaces of your teeth. Use light pressure while putting the bristles between the teeth, but not so much pressure that you feel any discomfort.
Next, you will clean the biting surfaces of your teeth by using short, gentle strokes. Change the position of the brush as often as necessary to reach and clean all surfaces. Try to watch yourself in the mirror to make sure you clean each surface. After you are done, rinse vigorously to remove any plaque you might have loosened while brushing.

Killer KEPLER
When I heard of the Ames event, I was excited about the Kepler scientists, having read their NASA profiles, watched their press conferences, and seen various team members speak at SETI. YouTube is chock full of their endeavors, and deservedly so. Kepler's Search For Habitable Planets is truly one of the most amazing projects humanity has ever had the privilege to watch unfold.
It was a true honor to shake hands with some of the brilliant and hard-working people behind this pioneering effort!
With Kepler Deputy Science Team Lead Natalie Batalha
One of my favorites is Natalie Batalha, because she is such a great speaker and can explain concepts in a very accessible way for people of all ages; her passion for her work comes out in such a blossoming, infectious way! I first saw Ms. Batalha on KTEH Television, and was overjoyed to get some of my own video footage. One of the most entertaining stories of the morning was how Kepler 10-b came to be known as "Planet Vulcan".
The nutshell version, for any newcomers:
Named after Johannes Kepler, the 17th century German astronomer who devised empirical laws of planetary motion, this observatory was launched in March 2009 with the aim of discovering "Earth-like" planets orbiting other stars.
Kepler uses a photometer to examine the brightness of nearly 150,000 stars in a fixed field of view, whereby the observations are analyzed to detect "transiting" (or, periodic light fluctuations) that indicate the presence of planets passing in front of those stars. If it takes about the same time to orbit as Earth, we can deduce that many of those planets are also in the Galactic Habitable Zone.
Why doesn't the Hubble already do this? The Kepler mission has a larger field of view (10 degrees square), and is dedicated to detecting repeated planetary transits -- and thus has a higher probability of detecting Earth-like planets. By contrast, Hubble is often turned in many different directions to study various celestial activity, and does not focus continuously on just one starfield as Kepler does.
"Our imaginations are SOARING when we see these planet
candidates. We're all thinking it: what's out there? Kepler
is not a mission designed to find life, but it's a mission that
inspires that ponderance, and that's the beauty and poetry
of what we are doing here. This is a mission for humanity."
~ Natalie Batalha
Hardcore Science Geeks: The full lecture can be viewed at the NASA Ames UStream, and the first minute is me up front with Natalie, asking for a quick picture, LOL! Didn't know they were filming already! Caught! ;)
