Karen Kim, MD, speaks at an event to launch the Center for Asian Health Equity in 2016
The University of Chicago Medicine's Center for Asian Health Equity (CAHE) is joining the National Cancer Institute's Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot Initiative to accelerate the pace of progress in the fight against cancer.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has established multiple mechanisms to fund Cancer Moonshot-related research. One of them is Accelerating Colorectal Cancer Screening and Follow-up through Implementation Science (ACCSIS). The ACCSIS Program will provide an evidence base for multilevel interventions that increase rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, follow-up and referral-to-care. It will also establish best practices for how scale up interventions to reduce CRC.
As one of three grantees nationwide for colorectal cancer prevention, ACCSIS-Chicago—led by University of Chicago cancer specialists Karen Kim, MD, MS, and Blase Polite, MD, MPP—has been awarded nearly $6 million over five years to test novel ways to improve CRC screening and follow-up among groups that have not been screened.
CRC screening detects disease early. It can also prevent many cancers by finding and removing precancerous polyps.
The State of Illinois ranks in the lowest 25 percent for CRC screening in the United States and consequently has a high CRC incidence. Cook County, the most populous and diverse county in Illinois, has one of the highest CRC mortality rates in the state. It has significantly more African Americans, Hispanics and Asian Americans than any other county, and more people living close to of the poverty level.
In response, CAHE, under the guidance of director Kim, and Polite, an affiliated researcher at UChicago Medicine, will target underrepresented populations.
"We are thrilled to have this opportunity to study the implementation of evidence-based interventions to increase colorectal cancer screening among vulnerable populations," Kim said. "ACCSIS-Chicago has the potential to transform our understanding of the health system and community factors that enhance or impede colorectal screening and follow up."
CAHE will partner with four federally qualified health centers serving diverse and low-income populations. ACCSIS Chicago has a unique opportunity to have a significant and sustainable impact on reducing disparities in CRC. It provides a mechanism for establishing the research infrastructure necessary to find the best ways to test and implement scientific approaches to cancer control.

VI – THE PERENNIAL PHILOSOPHY AND THE UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD:
The Essential Unity of All Humanity
55 - "The man who successfully probes his own inner nature and existence back to its Centre and Core, finds one single source of all men, all beings, all existence. Unity then emerges as the supreme verity, the everlasting truth." (G. Hodson, Basic Theosophy, p. 81)
In the preceding chapter we analyzed several passages concerning the importance of the principle or law of the universal brotherhood of humanity. Most of them were written by the Adepts, Whom hypothetically throughout this text we consider exemplary exponents of the true Theosophy (Wisdom of the Gods, Liberation, Spiritual Illumination, and Altruism) – the so-called Mahatmas or Masters. We were able to see clearly that, in short, "That was Their main aim, from the beginning" in relation to the TS, as N. Sri Ram stated in a previous quotation.
Thus, it appears that there must exist a direct and fundamental relationship between true Theosophy or Altruism and the law of the universal brotherhood of humanity. It can be seen that when the glance of those who climbed to the top of the "Golden Stairs" (which lead to the "temple of Divine Wisdom") turns compassionately toward the problems of the world, the vision they transmit to us is, in short, that there is no way of alleviating the suffering of the world "if not through the soothing influence of a brotherhood, and of the practical application of Buddha's esoteric doctrines," as was quoted from the Maha-Chohan.
This same great Adept who expressed the above view stated that these esoteric doctrines, if true, must offer consistent solutions for the problems of the world. In this way, the law of the universal brotherhood of mankind (and, naturally, its practical applications) must at the same time be connected with the Perennial Philosophy (becoming one of its most important laws) and with the consistent solutions to the problems of the world.
In other words, this principle or law of the brotherhood of humanity must, given the emphasis placed on it by the Mahatmas, be one of the most important principles or laws of Esoteric Philosophy, as it is in total agreement with the latter's fundamental doctrines such as the Unity underlying the manifestation, the essence, the divine destiny of man, and the laws of Karma and Reincarnation, among others. And, when applied to the world's problems, the law of the universal brotherhood must be very useful in the sense of offering them real solutions.
However, as we have observed in some of the preceding quotations, this law of the universal brotherhood of humanity, as well as its transcendental importance to the solutions of the great problems of humanity, is not a subject that is easily understood by the majority of people, not even by the members of the TS in general.
This is the reason why, from this point forward, we shall analyze the law of the universal brotherhood of humanity in the light of the principal doctrines of Esoteric Philosophy, with a view toward clarifying its fundamental aspects. We shall also attempt to show its decisive importance in finding consistent solutions to the great human problems by comparing the law of the universal brotherhood to the fundamental principles of the guiding currents of thought of our times. In this way we shall attempt to show the fundamental errors of these currents, as well as the errors incurred in their failed models of socio-political organization.
Throughout this analysis we shall attempt to show that this is valid for a given interpretation of the law of the universal brotherhood. And that within this interpretation the three Objects of the TS indicate roads of action that are perfectly in tune with the consistent solutions to the world's problems. In this case, the law of human brotherhood and the three Objects, in the same way as occurs in Theosophy, turn into the glory of the TS. Along the same lines we shall show that this does not occur with other interpretations of the law of the universal brotherhood, nor, as a consequence, with other interpretations of the three Objects of the TS, which could lead to the paralysis of the progress of the TS (as we shall quote from one of the Mahatmas), thus becoming the failure of the TS.
With this general panorama in mind, let us begin to analyze the principle of the human brotherhood in the light of Occult Philosophy. It is fairly obvious that in this kind of text it is not possible to present the many aspects encompassed by this vast and perennial philosophy, except in a very summary form. However, since it is possible that this text will be read by someone with little knowledge of the Perennial Philosophy, it becomes necessary to attempt an outline of its principal doctrines and then, in the light of this sketch, to analyze the fundamental aspects of the principle or law of the universal brotherhood of humanity.
Basic Principles of the Perennial Philosophy
A first very simple outline of this kind was already given when we presented the "three truths which are absolute" mentioned in The Idyll of the White Lotus. This is a synthesis of what they tell us:
(1)The soul of man is immortal, and its future is the future of a thing whose growth and splendour have no limit. (2) The principle which gives life dwells in us and without us, is undying and eternally beneficent and is perceived by the man who desires perception. (3) Each man is his own absolute lawgiver, the dispenser of glory or gloom to himself; the decreer of his life, his reward, his punishment.
These truths, which are as great as is life itself, are simple as the simplest mind of man. Feed the hungry with them.
Let us now look at a somewhat more developed outline which is mostly based on a summary presented by Dr. I. K. Taimni in his book, Self-culture in the Light of Occultism (chapters I and II; pp. 3-29). In accordance with this summary, these are the principal doctrines of the Perennial Philosophy:
1) The manifested Universe is rooted in an Eternal, Boundless, Immutable, Ever-unmanifested Principle which is called the Absolute, Parabrahman or the Ultimate Reality. This Principle transcends the power of ordinary human comprehension.
2) Consciousness and power, or Spirit and Matter are not two independent realities but the two polar aspects of the Absolute. They are the first products of differentiation and the basis of Manifestation.
3) From this Triad proceed all the numberless universes which appear and disappear in an endless cycle of Manifestation and Dissolution.
4) The innumerable Solar Systems which form part of the manifested universe are expressions of this Ultimate Reality, each Solar System forming an independent unit and yet remaining rooted in the Ever-Unmanifested Reality
5) Every Solar System is a perfectly ordered mechanism which is not only governed by immutable laws of Nature but is the manifestation of a transcendent Intelligence which is called God or Logos.
6) The physical Sun and the planets connected with it are the outermost or densest part of the Solar System, there being several invisible worlds composed of increasingly finer matter interpenetrating the physical world.
7) The whole Solar System with its planets, visible and invisible, is a vast theatre of evolution on which life in its various stages and innumerable forms is evolving to greater and greater perfection.
8) All this stupendous process is taking place according to a definite Plan present in the Divine Consciousness and controlled and guided by various hierarchies of Beings at different stages of evolution.
9) Life evolves gradually stage by stage through the mineral, vegetable, animal and human kingdoms, the evolution being continued even after the perfection of the human stage has been reached.
10) Every human being is Divine in essence, contains within himself all the qualities and powers which we associate with Divinity in a germinal state and these are unfolded gradually, leading to an ever increasing perfection and expansion of consciousness which has no limit.
11) The unfoldment of these latent qualities and powers is brought about through the process of reincarnation, the soul incarnating again and again in different countries and under different circumstances to gain experiences of all kinds and then spending periods of rest on the superphysical planes to assimilate these experiences.
12) The accumulation of these experiences is the main factor in the explanation of the stage of evolutionary development reached by each individual human being. And it is this same factor which determines the differences in the evolutionary development between the great evolutionary kingdoms (mineral, plant, animal, human and super-human), as well as the extraordinary differences of evolution that are present inside each of these kingdoms.
13) The absolute essential Unity and the Diversity of manifested forms and existences are the determining factors to the understanding of the evolutionary process in all its stages, including the human. Thus, in the human kingdom these are the factors that are at the foundation of the principle or law of the Universal Brotherhood of humanity.
14) Not only the physical but all other aspects of the human life are governed by natural laws operating in their respective spheres. This all embracing law of cause and effect which is generally known as Karma makes man the master of his destiny and the dispenser of happiness or misery to himself.
The Universal Brotherhood in the Light of the Perennial Philosophy
With this global view in mind, we shall make a more thorough analysis of those points which may help us in our aim to clarify the law of the universal brotherhood of humanity.
From the perspective of the Esoteric Philosophy presented above, we are able to verify the existence of a great evolutionary cycle rooted in the divine Unity and which in its human stage is processed through successive reincarnations. This view is decisive for the understanding of the law of the brotherhood of all men, because it is this law on which it is based and which defines its principal characteristics. On one side it reveals the aspect of the Unity that underlies all beings, and on the other it shows and lights the aspect of Diversity manifested (through the different evolutionary stages).
The very word "brotherhood" gives us the key to this whole panorama not only in its basic structure but also in relation to its development in time. Thus, we are structurally all brothers (and sisters) because we enjoy a communal parent; this parent is Divine Life, although we may have different ages or find ourselves on different levels of evolutionary development. These are the two fundamental aspects of Unity and Diversity.
The Universal Brotherhood and the Welfare of Humanity
It is important, at this point, to emphasize that this is, in summary, the concept proposed to us by the Perennial Philosophy. And, if it is true as has been clearly declared by those highest on the evolutionary scale (the Mahatmas and Their more advanced disciples), then it is this concept on which the establishing of correct ethical notions and the corresponding duties are based. These notions and duties may be applied universally (i.e.: to all), which would indicate a universal morality. In the same way, it is on this morality that depend the upsurge of fair and scientifically healthy socio-political institutions that may conduct humanity to greater harmony and so alleviate its sufferings.
In view of the importance of this point, it seems an appropriate moment to remember two passages in the letters from the Masters, in which the facts and logical connections presented in the preceding paragraphs are clearly stated. They declare that the welfare of the whole human family largely depends on this view of humanity as an all-encompassing (universal) brotherhood, as also does its practical application, mainly in the form of new social institutions. And it is in its absence that we shall find the roots of the greater part of human conflicts and sufferings.
As stated earlier, this last point will be taken up again in more detail at a later time when we shall attempt to show the following fact: that the currents of thought that govern our times, as well as the social institutions originating from them, are based on concepts that contradict the view of humanity as a universal brotherhood. But let us return to the passages of the letters from the Masters in this respect:
56 - "The term 'Universal Brotherhood' is no idle phrase. (...) It is the only secure foundation for universal morality. If it be a dream, it is at least a noble one for mankind: and it is the aspiration of the true adept." (K.H., ML, L. 4, p. 17)
57 - "The truths and mysteries of occultism constitute, indeed, a body of the highest spiritual importance, at once profound and practical for the world at large. Yet, it is not as a mere addition to the tangled mass of theory or speculation in the world of science that they are being given to you, but for their practical bearing on the interests of mankind. (...) They have to prove both destructive and constructive – destructive in the pernicious errors of the past, in the old creeds and superstitions which suffocate in their poisonous embrace like the Mexican weed nigh all mankind; but constructive of new institutions of a genuine, practical Brotherhood of Humanity where all will become co-workers of nature (...)." (K.H., ML, L. 6, pp. 23-24)
And since this principle or law is of the greatest importance for the individual and the collective welfare of all human beings and as there appears to be a generalized poor understanding of it, we shall go into more details in our analysis of the principle or law of the Universal Brotherhood of humanity in the light of the Perennial Philosophy. To this end we shall divide our approach in accordance with the two fundamental aspects of this principle. These aspects, as mentioned above, are the underlying Unity and the Diversity in manifested existence.
The Underlying Unity and the Law of the Universal Brotherhood
The aspect of the Unity that underlies human brotherhood is frequently commented on in the literature of the TS as well as in spiritual literature in general. This being so, it will not be necessary to extend ourselves in its analysis. Let us just look at a passage from Geoffrey Hodson, well-known author and clairvoyant, in which he deals with this first and fundamental aspect:
58 - "(...) I wish to advance one supremely important idea concerning man. I speak not only of man as Thinker, but man in his real Essence, the mysterious Dweller in the Innermost, the Logos of the Soul, the Spark of the Divine Flame, the Scintilla of the Spiritual Sun.
"That supremely important idea is that there is in existence in the whole Universe only one Spiritual Essence, one Spiritual Being, one Divine Flame – and the Spiritual Self of man is for ever at one with that all-inclusive One Alone. This is the one great truth, the true source of power, the sovereign secret.
"The man who successfully probes his own inner nature and existence back to its Centre and Core, finds one single source of all men, all beings, all existence. Unity then emerges as the supreme verity, the everlasting truth. 'All are but parts of one stupendous whole.' (...) behind all existence is one Supreme Power, one Energy, one Force, one Law and, because of this characteristic of oneness, all the components of that One are united in the One Alone.
"All are one. Minerals, plants, animals and men, Supermen, Angels, Archangels, worlds, suns, stars and galaxies of stars – all are one, inseparably united. So far as the billion human beings now on Earth are concerned, all are members of one spiritual Race which is without divisions of any kind. This is the sublime truth, the Master fact – all are one." (G. Hodson, Basic Theosophy, p. 81-82)

The Dalton Covered Bridge, called the Dalton Bridge, is a historic covered bridge that carries Joppa Road over the Warner River in Warner, New Hampshire. Its name refers to a resident at the time of its construction. The bridge was built in 1853 by Joshua Sanborn, and its abutments were built by George Sawyer and Webster Davis. The bridge has a span of 76 feet, with a bridge length of 84 feet. The bridge is 17 feet wide, with a bed width of 14 feet. The bridge uses a combination of types to support the load, following a patent issued in 1837 to Stephen Long. Its primary support mechanism is a king post truss, in which a vertical post is joined to chord members by iron bolts and this primary support is supplemented by a queen post truss system that flank the king truss walls. The trusses are mounted on abutments that are primarily fieldstone, but were capped in concrete in the 20th century, the mounting is secured by iron tension rods. The exterior walls of the bridge are vertical boarding with four windows, the gabled roof is made of corrugated metal.
The Mount Washington Hotel is a hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, near Mount Washington. It was designed by Charles Alling Gifford, the area, part of the town of Carroll, New Hampshire, includes the Bretton Woods ski resort nearby. It is located at the end of Crawford Notch,6 miles east of the village of Twin Mountain along U. S. Route 302. It is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The hotel was constructed at a cost of $1.7 million by Joseph Stickney, a native of Waltham, Massachusetts, in 1881 Stickney and his partner, John N. Conyngham, had purchased the Mount Pleasant Hotel nearby from lumberman John T. G. Leavitt, an early hotel that was demolished. Subsequently, Stickney began work on his Mount Washington Hotel and he brought in 250 Italian artisans to build it, particularly the granite and stucco masonry. Construction started in 1900 on the Y-shaped hotel, which opened on July 28,1902, at the opening ceremony, Stickney told the audience, Look at me, gentlemen.
For I am the poor fool who built all this, within a year he was dead at the age of 64. Under its capable first manager, John Anderson, the hotel was a success, but the advent of income tax and the Great Depression curtailed the hospitality business. In 1936, Mrs. Stickneys nephew, Foster Reynolds, inherited the hotel, a Boston syndicate bought the extensive property for about $450,000 In 1944. The Bretton Woods monetary conference took place that year, establishing the World Bank, the owners were paid $300,000 for the loss of business and promised a daily room charge of $18 per person for the 19-day conference. H. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1986, the hotel opened for its first winter season in 1999. Before that year the hotel would close to late in the fall. The entire hotel was overhauled before the winter, with efficient windows installed in the entire hotel, in January 2009 the Mount Washington Resort completed a 50,000 square feet addition that includes a 25, 000-square-foot spa and a 25, 000-square-foot conference center.
Across from the state capitol, the former Eagle Hotel on Main Street, was a downtown landmark in Concord from its opening in 1827 until it closed in 1961. It was added in 1978 to the National Register of Historic Places.

Unlike some other cancers, it is rare to find pancreatic cancer early, because it tends to spread quickly. Therefore, most cases of pancreatic cancer are at relatively advanced stages at the time of diagnosis.
Trusted oncologists and nurses at Dignity Health Central California help you face your pancreatic cancer diagnosis head on. Use our online Find a Doctor tool to start receiving personalized pancreatic cancer treatment in Central California.
Because it is often hard to eliminate or cure pancreatic cancer, treatment focuses on easing your symptoms and slowing the growth of the cancer. The most common treatments for pancreatic cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy.
If your imaging exams suggest it's possible, pancreatic cancer may be surgically removed. Surgery may also help prevent complications and relieve symptoms.
Chemotherapy is a common treatment for pancreatic cancer. It can help shrink tumors before surgery for easier removal and destroy any remaining cancer cells following surgery. Chemotherapy, alone or combined with radiation therapy, can also help prevent cancer from recurring. When surgery is not an option, doctors will often use chemotherapy or a combination of chemotherapy and radiation to treat pancreatic cancer.
Radiation therapy can also help shrink a tumor before surgery or be used after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells. It can also be used in combination with chemotherapy to prevent recurrence or when surgery is not an option.
Targeted therapies use markers present only on cancer cells to identify and destroy those cells. They can be used in combination with chemotherapy or when surgery is not an option.
When considering your options at Dignity Health Central California, be sure to discuss the side effects, goals, risks, and benefits of each treatment with your doctor.

LeBron James and Cristiano Ronaldo are making 33 the best age
LeBron James and Ronaldo are 33-year old beasts - (Image: NBA/YouTube)
Basketball and Football's biggest stars are playing their best ball at the age 33, and it is crazy.

Age is no obstacle for Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James - Video
Two of the greatest athletes of all time have been tearing it up on the Basketball court and soccer field over the past decade and a half. LeBron James and Cristiano Ronaldo are two of the most well-known athletes of all time and probably the two biggest names in sports today, and they are shocking fans around the world with their abilities to stay on the top of their games at age 33.
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on February 5, 1985, and will celebrate his 34th birthday in early 2019.
However, for LeBron James, he reaches 34 just before 2018 concludes as he was born on December 24, 1984. Both superstars started their professional careers in around 2002-2003, and have been at the front of the spotlight during their entire careers. With many fantastic goals and baskets in their career, many expected a decline from them at around this stage in their careers. But both players have exceeded expectations and are at the peak of their prime in 2018.
Like fine wine
As LeBron said a few weeks ago, he gets better with age, 'like fine wine'.
And that could also be said for Ronaldo, who since turning 33 has already scored 39 goals in all competitions. A scoring rate that has very rarely been seen in history before. While LeBron is also setting historic marks in the NBA, this season averaging a career-high in assists and rebounds while having his highest scoring season in 8 years, while being on pace to play his first 82-game full season.
Both LeBron and Ronaldo are in peak physical condition and dedicate their lifestyles to staying in top shape for performance. Both have avoided major injuries throughout their careers and have their body in performance shape like a 22-year old, yet they are both 33.
Real recognize real
Ronaldo recently scored one of the most insane goals of his career, timing his jump perfectly to scissor kick the ball backward into the goal where the goalkeeper had no chance to save it.
LeBron James appreciated this goal so much, he showed his appreciation to another athlete he appreciates.
Here is a look at the spectacular goal scored by Ronaldo.
LeBron James also recently had one of the best and most athletic plays of his career at age 33 in a regular season game against the Portland Trail Blazers, as seen below.
We will just have to appreciate these athletes while they are still playing cause they won't be around forever, and their athleticism and work ethic to be the best player they can be is something that will not be seen too much again in the future.
Both players will be remembered forever in the future of sporting history.

Dubai royal family responds to allegations of holding Princess Latifa hostage since she tried to flee the country in 2018
Dubai's royal family has responded to allegations made by Princess Latifa in secret recordings that she has been held hostage against her will since 2018 when she tried to flee the country.
In the secretly recorded videos released this week, the princess, who is daughter to Dubai ruler, Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum, said she feared for her life and she was told by police officers she wouldn't 'see the sun again.'
The footage prompted global calls for a UN investigation.
The UN human rights agency then asked the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to provide proof that the princess is still alive.
The royal family through the UAE embassy has now released a statement but there was no video or photo released with the family's statement which could serve as proof of life, nor did the embassy give any details about her condition.
"In response to media reports regarding Sheikha Latifa, we want to thank those who have expressed concern for her wellbeing, despite the coverage which certainly is not reflective of the actual position," the family said in a response which came via the UAE embassy in London.
"Her family has confirmed that Her Highness is being cared for at home, supported by her family and medical professionals."
"She continues to improve and we are hopeful she will return to public life at the appropriate time."
Princess Latifa's father, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is one of the richest heads of state in the world, the ruler of Dubai and vice-president of the UAE.
With the help of friends, Princess Latifa tried to flee Dubai to start a new life in February 2018.
"I'm not allowed to drive, I'm not allowed to travel or leave Dubai at all," she said in a video recorded just before her escape.
But days later, the princess was captured by commandos on a boat in the Indian Ocean. She was flown back to Dubai, where she has remained ever since.
Her father in response said he was acting in her best interest.

Rumor Buster: Can UV light, vitamin C be used as treatments for COVID-19?
Source: Xinhua| 2020-05-08 13:16:57|Editor: huaxia
BEIJING, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Some rumors claim that ultraviolet (UV) light and vitamin C can be used as medical treatments for COVID-19.
The fact is, experts have not found enough scientific evidence that the two can help people fight off the novel coronavirus.
"We would like to inform the public that there are no protocols to advise or permit the safe use of UV light directly on the human body at the wavelengths and exposures proven to efficiently kill viruses such as SARS-CoV-2," said a joint statement by industry groups the International Ultraviolet Association and RadTech North America.
Scientists believe that UV light is quite dangerous if used directly on human bodies.
"UV radiation can cause skin irritation and damage your eyes," said the World Health Organization.
"It is not safe to use UV sanitizers on your body," warned the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
"For years, we've used UV on air and surfaces and on hospital rooms, with no humans in the room," Jim Malley, a UV light expert and professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of New Hampshire, told USA Today. "We protect ourselves in the laboratory with face shields and gloves to keep the UV away from our eyes and our skin."
Besides, experts remained skeptical about the UV blood irradiation (UBI), which involves withdrawing a measure of blood and exposes it to UV light.
The UBI is "an invasive treatment where lots of things might go badly wrong," wrote Edzard Ernest, professor emeritus at the University of Exeter, in April, adding that robust clinical trials on the UBI "are missing completely."
As for vitamin C, many scientists have suggested there is less evidence that it grants immunity against the virus, or alleviates symptoms for COVID-19 patients given a high dose.
William Schaffner, professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the U.S. state of Tennessee, told The New York Times no evidence suggests that vitamin C supplements can help prevent COVID-19.
"If there's going to be an advantage, it's going to be very modest," he said.
Also, no results are yet available for the clinical trial launched on Feb. 11 by researchers from Zhongnan Hospital of China's Wuhan University to test the efficacy and safety of vitamin C infusions for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
According to media reports in April, Charles Mok, a 56-year-old Michigan doctor who claimed in multiple videos that vitamin C infusions supposedly reduce the severity of symptoms and the duration of illness, as well as boost the immunity of those who have a high risk for contracting COVID-19, has been charged with health care fraud and conspiracy to commit health care fraud.

….my mother had me tested" quips Sheldon Cooper, the wacky theoretical physicist on TV's "The Big Bang Theory" when anyone questions his sanity. Admittedly, I AM NOT a TV aficionado, but when I watch TV, it is generally reruns of this hilarious situational comedy. Why do I watch you ask? I would be a liar if I didn't divulge that I believe Penny is SMOKIN HAWT, but I mostly watch in true appreciation for how Sheldon views and reacts to the world around him.
Roommate and relationship agreements – Sheldon has very detailed written agreements for both Leonard, his roommate, and Amy, his significant other. Some would say that is CRAZY behavior….you can't reduce your relationships to written signed agreements!! BALDERDASH I SAY!! One of the Four Agreements as written by Don Miguel Ruiz (buy the book and read it over and over and over again) is "Don't Make Assumptions"…clarify….ask questions….DO NOT assume you know what the other is thinking. I suggest nearly all marriages would be healthier AND therefore happier and longer lasting if they were based on a written, living, breathing relationship agreement….aren't most marital arguments (aka differences of opinion) about one person not living up to the expectations of the other?
Sarcasm (my achilles heel) – Sheldon simply doesn't get sarcasm….reason being he tells the truth all of the time without even considering offering a sarcastic remark, except for the occasional 'bazinga"…..and as a result, he has difficulty recognizing when someone else is being sarcastic. Much to the chagrin of the affected others, he ALWAYS tells the truth. Although often it seems "inappropriate" or "ill timed", the result always puts the issue on the table to be dealt with openly and honestly. The few moments of uncomfortability are well worth the parties involved chopping at the root rather than the vine. Again I fall back on Don Miguel Ruiz whose Toltec wisdom counsels us to "Be Impeccable With Our Word". What would be the result of you and I being impeccable with our word….NO gossiping….NO embellishing the truth…telling the absolute truth, even when it might sting a bit? Facing controversial issues head on rather than side stepping? Would you rather perpetuate a lie? How has that worked for you so far in this life?
I see Sheldon as living a simplistic life….a minimalistic life….a contented life….a life worthy of emulating….enjoying honest relationships….honest communication…never concerned about how others might think about him (another Ruizism "Don't Take Anything Personally")….in a word, childlike….an adult, acting and reacting childlike, which is not the same as an adult acting like a child. Don't we all long to see the world in a childlike way….enjoying the simpler things….smiling when we are happy….crying when we are sad….laughing….singing even when others can hear….eating when we are hungry….giving hugs uncontrollably, regardless of race, religion, social status, or sexual orientation….having someone sing "soft kitty" to us when we are not feeling well….having fun within whatever situation life hands us….loving unconditionally….
Try it….I think you will like it….I dare you…..
A popular cliché amongst coaches past and present…second only to perhaps "nobody ever drowned in sweat" or "keep your eye on the ball"….is the phrase "there is no I in TEAM"…a life lesson learned, as most would believe, through participation in team sports. However, even upon the band geeks were showered such idioms, which is where yours truly was first introduced.
As the universe would have it, I found this lesson in humility in unfamiliar territory…as 2nd chair trumpet in junior high school (aka middle school in today's vernacular). Although I found myself comfortably at home with any and all sports, my parents, having my best interests at heart, suggested I spread my wings into the musical realm….and the trumpet was the instrument of choice for the Nabors' men. After a valiant effort and countless hours of practice (at least how I remember it), I found myself sitting behind a braniac nerd. When I approached the band director to inquire as to how I could attain the lofty status of 1st chair, he explained a lesson in harmony.
"Young Master Nabors, there is no shame in playing 2nd chair. In fact, one might argue that 2nd chair is at least if not more critical than 1st chair, for without all the other trumpets…the trombones and baritones….the clarinets and saxophones…the strings and the percussion…the black and white ivory ticklers…there is no orchestra….there is only a trumpet….and no purveyor of fine music yearns to listen to only one instrument, but rather to all in harmony with one another…each bringing something magical to the dance".
As I absorbed and pondered, I witnessed evidence of my sage band director's wisdom EVERYWHERE. When I galloped with the pigskin, I was doomed without my snowplows providing a path on which to run, they more important than I. When I donned the tools of ignorance behind the plate, I would have been only 11% of a baseball team without my pitcher and his entourage.
As adults…contributing members of society…how often do we sacrifice our own interests for those of the greater good? How often do we take action to benefit others when we believe, whether actually true or not, that we will be somehow disadvantaged by such action? How often do we speak the truth that is in our hearts when we believe the risk is personal injury or ridicule? How often do we put others over self?
I do my best to live a selfless life…failing and succeeding regularly…not for accolades…but rather to lift others up to heights they may not visit otherwise…in hopes that they will pay it forward for their brothers and sisters. The job doesn't pay well…at least in earthly reward…but it is a worthy job…in or out of the limelight.
We live in a world full to the brim with selfishness…I challenge you to swim upstream…be counterintuitive…think your own thoughts…trust in the one and only truth…YOUR OWN. In so doing, you will drown in a cornucopia of wealth…whether you play 1st chair or 2nd.
As our children morphed from tadpole to bull"frawg", we focused their extracurricular efforts towards athletics….a mistake in and of itself. I was too myopic to see the virtues gained from a well-balanced rearing. If I were to pinpoint my gravest mistake as a parent….the one area among the many where I failed…it would be that I did not expose them to the many flavors available for "their" choosing…a topic for another day.
TINSTAAFL!! There Is No Such Thing As A Free Lunch!!
When the tykes are tiny, there is no score….everybody is a winner….nobody is a loser….and everybody gets a token of some kind in the end….a medal or trophy…one more dust collector destined for the Goodwill box….I get that. I don't agree, but I get it….
Wrestling, the oldest sport known to man, was one of our families' chosen passions…my fav as a young man. And so I, along with a few of my crazy grappling brethren, coached our local high school feeder team. Upon assuming the reins, we instigated a few policies unknown to youth sports that were not popular with our constituents, the parents of our wrestlers. In order to be recognized at the "end of year" banquet, you, as a member of our team, were required to attend 75% of the practices…and you placed your John Henry on an agreement signifying your acceptance of these terms at season's beginning.
Invariably, at the end of year celebratory banquet, we would be cornered by an enraged parent livid that little Johnny did not receive a certificate of participation…to which we would simply refer to the agreement that they and little Johnny signed. "But you embarrassed him in front of his friends" they would say. To which we would reply, "No sir, YOU embarrassed him by not bringing him to practice a sufficient number of times to warrant recognition as part of our team". Surprisingly, I was not fired as a volunteer coach for being so uncompassionate.
Andy Dufresne shared this sentiment with his good friend Red in the days before he escaped from Shawshank prison, serving time for an act he did not commit.
Many of us feel as Andy felt…as though we are serving time for acts we did not commit….for a careless mistake long ago…for some minor misstep along life's path….for an injustice brought upon us by others….for a painful heartache that was visited upon us randomly.
It's a simple choice really….get busy livin' or get busy dyin'….there is no standing still….there is no treading water….your arms grow tired…weary…quickly…you either sink or swim…your choice.
My family rolls their collective eyes…increases the density of their listening filter…whenever they sense I am about to share, once again, one of my signature "dad"isms…THERE IS NO STATUS QUO!! Status quo is defined simply as the current situation: the way things are now. We all inherently know that in 5 minutes things will never be the same. Something will happen that is completely out of our control…random…that could have a profound effect on the next 5 minutes or perhaps the rest of your life.
There are times when truly wonderful things happen…children are born…love birds fly as one…humanity advances….enemies become friends…your family etches a loving memory in a time capsule that is indelible.
There are times when unthinkably horrific things happen…children are abused…love birds fly apart….humanity retreats…friends become enemies…your family is torn to shreds by a personal affront that is seemingly unforgivable (sidebar: Although not forgettable, EVERYTHING is forgivable).
What do you do when horrific things happen? Do you wallow about in your own self-pity? Do you become restless and irritable? Do you worry yourself into a state of depression and call your doctor for the latest and greatest meds?
Or do you accept the reality and build a stronger foundation? Do you willingly realize that what happened wasn't visited upon you personally…that your circumstances are just your circumstances at present? Do you give thanks for the adversity knowing it will give a potent relativity to the wonder?
There is no status quo…we are either advancing or retreating…there is no standing still…no treading water.
"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"….John F. Kennedy.
How have we become so blind that we cannot see the obvious truth in JFK's challenge? We look for others to solve our problems…yet we all know in our hearts…in our minds…during the times when we gaze into the deep abyss…desperately searching for solutions….that only we can solve our problems….and, by extrapolation, the larger problems of society will be solved.
Problems are solved by caring for others over self….not by being selfish. Problems are solved by adherence to the universal laws of time infinite…not by more man made laws of this specific time and place. Problems are solved by being compassionate…not by being intolerant and tyrannous. …is this not self-evident?
Discrimination will always be alive and well within the human condition. Whenever two factions "think differently" from one another, there is a divide…..a division of thought….of how things should be. But what gives one side the right to decide how things should be? Is one right and the other wrong? How absurd is that? We can think how we choose to think…but we have no jurisdiction over the thoughts of others.
Problems do not vanish of their own accord…never have…never will. But no politician…no government…no mountain of legislation…is ever going to remedy our problems. That path is deemed for failure. Rather than look outward for a solution, let us look in the mirror.
Human behavior cannot be legislated….if it is to be, it is up to me…what other choice do we have?
Our two party political system is the very definition of dysfunctional. And make no mistake, the Libertarian or Tea Party is a mere figment of our imaginations as they are given not even a seat at the table. To listen to the rhetoric being spewed about at the Republican National Convention causes me to want to vomit. I cannot fathom that these are the best of the best as they disparage everything about the "other side of the aisle", in particular taking a personal assault on the presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
That is not to say that the same tactical approach will not be leveled from the other to this next week as the Democrats convene. The Donald will be assaulted as never before by otherwise intelligent and decent human beings. Have we become so ignorant of a populace as to desire to listen to such lambasting? Is that how one wins by espousing how disgustingly awful it would be if the other won?
It reminds me of the Hatfield's and McCoy's of rural West Virginia and Kentucky in the late 1800's….sad to think we have made such little progress since then.
Are we all not some percentage Republican and some Democrat….perhaps as close as 51/49? And don't those percentages change over time, depending on our experiences and education? Don't we all have opinions….hold beliefs….live by mores….that align with both Republican and Democratic philosophies?
We have certainly become a melting pot since our birth in 1776…differing races, creeds, religions, and sexual orientations among the ingredients of a now flavorful and well-seasoned stew. Should we not embrace the diversity and be thankful for the many worthy thought leaders of our time? Can we not have political leaders that listen to ALL of their constituents and make decisions for the greater good, not simply for the good of their "party"? Must our political leaders always vote along party lines? Can they not think for themselves?
I suggest an abolishment of the two party system….perhaps we become party-less? Force candidates to think their own thoughts….force folks to become educated about the candidates/issues before they vote rather than vote strictly along party lines…to think for themselves. If not, we can continue to be spectators at a bare knuckle fight….rooting for our gladiator because we despise the other….voting with our heads in the sand.
Or we can do as the Hatfield's and McCoy's did in 2003 and call a truce….cooperate rather than be stubborn and fight amongst ourselves….our nation is at risk on so many levels…the time has come to at least be at peace within our own land. Haters don't gotta hate….they can choose love.
"In embracing the diversity of human beings, we will find a sure way to true happiness", Malcom Gladwell.
Do you believe as Malcom believes? Step outside yourself for a moment and sincerely ask and answer that question….for yourself. Think your own thoughts….not those of others…how do you feel about the diversity that continues to proliferate in our world…in our country…in our towns…in our own families? Is it better to fight against diversity or embrace it?
When we were a young couple transplanted from the rural Midwest and living in idyllic Orange County California, a stones throw from Huntington Beach, we bought our first house…1982….in Fountain Valley…with a 17.25% interest rate loan…a foreclosure….we were young (24) and impetuous…and naive. Next door lived two middle aged women…one a doctor at the local community hospital where my wife worked….the other in managerial sales. I, being the gallant gentleman whom my parents reared me to be, was forever in their support doing manly type chores of which they were either incapable of tackling. I felt useful…contributory…in support of others as I was taught. We became friends and enjoyed each others company.
On one of SoCal's typically temperate sun drenched Autumn days, I was repairing an item in their house and noticed something peculiar….it seemed only one of their 3 bedrooms was in use….the master…the others were neatly furnished…tidy…unmistakably not lived in…I was confused. I went home and discussed this with my bride…and as we looked at one another with bewilderment, we concluded "that's really weird…perhaps they are homosexual". Lo and behold, our parents were again right…we had moved to the land of iniquity….of fruits and nuts…we had met our first gay person….check that, gay couple…who were happy and normal…and our friends. That day our friendship grew exponentially as we were able to expand our horizons…learn…accept…support…love…thanks and due to the diversity.
We are not the same….you and me…except that we are both human…we are black and white…conservative and liberal…Christian and Muslim…rich and poor…educated and simple…white and blue collared…jock and thespian….extrovert and introvert…hetero and homo sexual…short and tall…young and old…yin and yang. And all of these differences, along with the countless others, combine to create a magnificent tapestry of vibrant colors beyond description….one fabric…the human fabric. Without each other, the fabric will become tattered, tear, and be rendered useless….ruined.
I have a friend who has been blessed with 90+ years of this life. At our last encounter, I was warned by her family that she had lost her filter, a rite of passage for anyone with that many miles on her tires. It was a truly memorable conversation that gave me pause…forced a spot of time to consider her opposing opinion. It was a moment that is indelibly inked on my mind.
Prentice Mulford wrote a book in 1889 titled Thoughts are Things…powerful things. In the end, we are no more than a sum total of our thoughts, some of which morph into action while most do not. The choice is yours as to which translate into action…whether that action is merely your verbalized opinion or into physical action….whether supportive or detrimental. The daily news wire reminds us of detrimental action that is born from nothing more than how somebody thinks about something. Indeed, thoughts are things….powerful things.
It is my contention that our filters should be considerably more open that they currently are based on some misguided level of political correctness. That tact certainly seems to be working for Mr. Trump!! Although the truth may sting a bit when delivered, it is the only way to pave a path for improvement….for progress.
Whether your thoughts are verbalized or not….taken action upon or not…is a fine line to straddle. We all know that obesity is a problem in our culture for a myriad of reasons. When you have a friend who is obese…or on the path to obesity…is it better for you to discuss this with your friend or simply think that he/she is obese and perhaps talk to others (aka gossip) about your friend? Which do you think is more helpful for your friend? I am not suggesting that your friendship should be contingent on your friend's weight, but if you want what is best for your friend, you will be truthful….with compassion….something which is still a work in process for Mr. Trump!!
Consider being the one who will say what nobody else will say. Be brave. Take a risk. You may ruffle some feathers, but all the birds will be better for you doing so. Be a change agent. Make a difference. Verbalize your thoughts…from a foundation of love. Then enjoy the fruits of your labor as you actually witness the change. Life as we know it would be exponentially richer…simpler….if we all simply told the truth all the time. So the next time you are tempted to lie, which is the same as not telling the truth, opt for the truth. You will be anxious…it will sting for a spell…but not for long…and all will be better for you doing so.
For those daring enough to read the day's news…for those whose skin has calloused to the point of deflecting the emotion that comes from the reading…I ask you but one question…what seems to be the common thread running through most atrocities against mankind worldwide? My answer to that question….the obvious answer to those willing to take their heads from beneath the sand….
The happenings during the course of the last few days in our country as we celebrated our independence….our freedom….our right to live our lives free from tyranny….should first cause us each to weep the saddest of tears for what are senseless acts of violence visited upon those not deserving. And then, when our dried tears have stained our cheeks and our eyes are reddened, we should ask ourselves, what can I do to help stem this tide….to turn the pendulum back in the other direction. Do we want our country to continue to deteriorate into a war state with battles being fought amongst our own, or do we want to set the bar high for the rest of the world and live in peace?
I am not so naive as to think that there would be no unthinkable acts of violence without guns, but I do believe they would diminish with some reasonable level of restriction as a baby step…to that there can be no argument. Guns do not take lives acting on their own….and people do not take lives without a gun….people with guns take lives….so perhaps we should limit the people with guns? Do you think our towns….our streets….our homes…would be safer if everyone was packing…or would they be more dangerous?
Today I am melancholy as I mourn for the families of all those whose loved ones lives have been taken from them without cause….families I will never know….yet they are my brothers and sisters….for He loves ALL the little children of the world….
When we come from love, so too will the solutions to this problem come from love, not hatred.
It's never more quiet than the early morn….no hustle or bustle….only stillness….the softness of a new day breaking beckons….the mind is clear….the body rested….the unknown that lies ahead is a carrot on a stick….how my heart loves ushering in a new day full of wonder and possibility….devoid, if even for the briefest of moments, of the worry…the hatred…the complexity…of this life…this life that each of us chooses to live in our own way with every breath…one choice always followed by another.
For some time now I have vowed to write on a regular basis…to give some permanency to my thoughts…not that mine are any better than yours…only different…in the hopes that my thoughts may spur you to think about your own. I am but a common man…vowing to live an uncommon life…with eyes wide open…and yes always on the tip of my tongue.
This writing will focus on three tenets that I believe are critical to our inner peace…which translates to our outer actions…that will allow us to bathe in the richness of our relationships…and experience the love of and for others as it was designed.
Tell the truth whenever you speak….
Whether you choose to join me on this journey is a decision only you can make…and is only important for you….not for me….as I choose to do this for my own pleasure….my own contentment….while George Winston softly tickles the keys and a vanilla candle flickers in the dim light of morning, I will write….and perhaps someone will read….and the reading will help them to think their own thoughts, tell the truth whenever they speak, and embrace simplicity.
"Thanks for the explanation. I definitely see so much selfishness in the ..."
"Truth can be black and white at times, and other times gray. Your ..."
"I definitely can identify. I value the lessons learned from team sports. "
