CONFESSION OF SIN ( ).
By: Executive Committee of the Editorial Board., S. Mendelsohn, Kaufmann Kohler
Its Effect.
Formula in the Talmud.
Later Formulas.
—In Hellenistic Literature and in the Liturgy:
The Scriptures repeatedly prescribe confession of sin as a means to expiation and atonement. "It shall be that when he is guilty of any one of these things, he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing" (Lev. v. 5). "Aaron shall . . . confess over him [the scapegoat] all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins" (ib. xvi. 21). "When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit . . . they shall confess their sin which they have done" (Num. v. 6, 7).
The effect of confession is remission. Thus the Bible states, "And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die" (II Sam. xii. 13). Elihu says, "God looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not [or, "I have not been requited"]: He will deliver his soul from going to the pit, and his life shall see the light" (Job xxxiii. 27, 28); and Jeremiah declares, "The Lord said to me . . . go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God" (Jer. iii. 11-13). Elsewhere the prophet says, "Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously. . . . I will heal their backslidings, I will love them freely" (Hos. xiv. 2 et seq.; see Atonement).
Confession may be individual, that of a person repenting backslidings; or it may be national, when the public at large humble themselves before God. As examples of the former may be cited the confession of Cain (Gen. iv. 13), of Jacob (ib. xxxil. 9), and of David (II Sam. xxiv. 10; Ps. xli. 4, li. 3, lxix. 5); of the latter, that of the Israelites in the wilderness (Num. xiv. 40); in the dispersion (Lev. xxvi. 40); at Mizpah, when admonished by Samuel (I Sam. vii. 6), and again at Gilgal, after choosing their first king (ib. xii. 10). National confessions are sometimes made through national representatives, as by Moses, after the Israelites worshiped the golden calf (Ex.xxxii. 31), by the high priest on Atonement Day (Lev. xvi. 21), by Ezra (ix. 6, 7, 15), and by Nehemiah (i. 6, 7; ix. 2, 33-35).
Here repentance is likened to a door which, if man opens only as much as the eye of a needle, God opens as wide as a gateway (Cant. R. to v. 2), for whoso is willing to cleanse himself is assisted from above (Shab. 104a; Yoma 38b); and confession may be said to be the opening wedge, or the hinge on which repentance turns. Accordingly the Rabbis teach that Samuel, interceding for Israel (I Sam. vii. 5 et seq.), addressed to God the following argument in favor of his people's salvation: "Lord of the universe! Dost Thou ever require of man more than that he utter, 'I have sinned'? Now, the Israelites do plead, 'We have sinned' [ib. 6]: forgive them" (Midr. Sam. to vii. 6; Yer. Ta'an. ii. 65d). Elsewhere this doctrine is presented in another form (Yalḳ., Ps. c. 1; Pesiḳ. xxv. 159a). Citing the Scriptural verse (Prov. xxviii. 13), "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy," the Rabbis remark, when a man is charged of crime before a human tribunal, as long as he denies his guilt he has a chance for escape, but when he admits his guilt he receives punishment; not so before God; unless man confesses, he receives punishment, but when he confesses, he receives remission, provided he confesses with the determination to forsake his sins. According to another Midrash, even Balaam knew of the insuperable power of repentance and confession when he said (Num. xxii. 34), "I have sinned." He knew that nothing may avert heavenly visitation except repentance, and that over one who has sinned and then says, "I have sinned," the messenger of retribution has no power (Tan., Balaḳ, 10). Hence, although Solomon declares, "Evil pursueth sinners" (Prov. xiii. 21); and Ezekiel (xviii. 4, 20) says, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die," rabbinical lore (with reference to Ps. xxv. 8 and Amos v. 4) teaches that God Himself says, "Let him repent and he shall be pardoned" (Yer. Mak. ii. 31d; Pesiḳ. xxv. 158b; compare Soṭah 7b; Sanh. 43b).
Jews Confessing Their Sins on the Day Before the Feast of Pentecost.
(From Bodenschatz, "Kirchliche Verfassung," 1748.)
No formal confession is prescribed in the Scriptures; time and circumstances suggested the penitent's thoughts or utterances (compare " Yad," Tefillah, i. 1; Kesef Mishneh ad loc.). Post-Biblical literature, however, contains some formulas. Of these, that embodying the phrase "I have sinned, transgressed, and rebelled" , seems to be the oldest, having formed part of the high priest's confession in the course of the Temple service on the Day of Atonement (Yoma iii. 8, iv. 2; Tosef., Yoma, ii. 1; Sifra, Aḥare, i. 2). It is based on similar expressions used in Biblical times (I Kings viii. 47; Ps. cvi. 6; Dan. ix. 5), and is considered the principal of all confessions (Sifra, l.c.; "Yad," Teshubah, i. 1; compare Pesiḳ. R. 35, 160b). A rabbi of the fourth century recommends the following to be recited on the eve of the Day of Atonement: "I confess all the wrong I have done before Thee. I have indeed stood on the way of evil; but as I have done I shall do no more. May it please Thee, O Lord my God! to forgive all my errors, to remit all my offenses, and to pardon all my transgressions" (Lev. R. iii. 3; compare Yer. Yoma viii. 45c). A formula somewhat older, used by some daily, and by others only on the Day of Atonement, is the following: "My God! Before I was formed I was worthless, and now that I am formed I am as if not formed: I am dust while I live; how much more so shall I be when dead. Behold, I am before Thee as a vessel full of shame and disgrace. May it be Thy will, O Lord my God and God of my fathers! that I shall sin no more, and what I have sinned before Thee blot outin Thy abundant mercy, but not through sufferings and serious diseases" (Ber. 17a; Yoma 87b).
The alphabetic confessions ("We have incurred guilt"; see Ashamnu) and ("For the sin which we have committed before Thee") are first mentioned in the literary productions of geonim of the eighth century, the former by Simon Kahira ("Halakot Gedolot," ed. Berlin, 1888, "Hilkot Yom ha-Kippurim," missing in ed. Warsaw, 1874), the latter by Aḥai of Shabḥa ("She'iltot," clxvii.). The Talmud, however, explicitly says (Yoma 87b), "When one utters the simple expression, 'Verily we have sinned,' he need say no more"; and this is also the opinion of the casuists ("Hal. Gedol." l.c.; "Yad," Teshubah, ii. 8; Ṭur Oraḥ Ḥayyim, 607). One nearing death, or even when first taken ill, should be exhorted to make confession (Shab. 32a; Sanh. vi. 2, 43a et seq.), as were all those about to be executed for crime (see Atonement; Capital Punishment). If one is unable himself to frame a confession, he is prompted to say, "May my death prove an atonement for all my sins" (Sanh. l.c.).

E. C. S. M.—In Hellenistic Literature and in the Liturgy:
Ever since the return from the Exile (see Ezra ix.; Dan. ix. 4-20), confession of sins has formed an integral part of prayer, and verses selected from such passages as the penitential Psalms, xxxii., li., lxxxvi., were used in the liturgy. An example of elaborate confession of sins, composed in the second century B.C., is presented in the Apoc rypha under the name of "The Prayer of Manasseh," and in all probability it formed originally a part of a Midrashic addition to II Chron. xxxiii. 19 (as may be learned from Apostolical Constitutions, ii. 22; see Didascalia). A characteristic feature of this confession is the reiteration of certain formulas: "I have sinned, O Lord; I have sinned"; "Forgive me, O Lord, forgive me." Another example of a confession of sin is contained in the prayer of Asenath, xii. (see Jew. Encyc. ii. 173):
"I take refuge with Thee, Lord, my God, from now; to Thee I cry, O Lord, and before Thee I confess my sins. Spare me, O Lord, spare me! for I have greatly sinned; I have transgressed and done evil. I have spoken harsh words before Thee that should not be spoken. . . . I have sinned before Thee. O Lord; I have sinned, knowingly and unknowingly."
With these words Asenath begins her prayer while repenting of her idolatrous life, thus offering to proselytes an example of due preparation for admission into the Jewish fold. Confession of sins preceded baptism (Mark i. 5; compare Soṭah 12b) and was made the condition of admission into the Christian Church, as may be learned from Didache iv. 14, xiv. 1 (compare James v. 16).
The common formulas for confession of sins in the Christian Church being in the main exactly like those of the Synagogue, the conclusion is to be drawn that they go back to pre-Talmudic times. The words "Forgive, remit, pardon, O God, our offenses, voluntary and involuntary, committed knowingly or in ignorance, by transgression or through omission," in the closing prayer of propitiation in the liturgy of James (Hammond, "Eastern and Western Liturgies," p. 54), as well as the formula still found in the common prayer of the Episcopal Church: "We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done," are nearly identical with the closing words of the Atonement-Day confession: "O God of forgiveness, forgive us, pardon us, grant us remission . . . for the violation of mandatory and for the violation of prohibitive precepts, for sins known or unknown to us."
In the time of Rab and Samuel in Babylonia and R. Johanan in Palestine the confessions of sin in the Day of Atonement liturgy was fixed by tradition, as is proved by the fact that these amoraim of the beginning of the third century refer to the liturgical portions containing these confessions as familiar and known by their initial words (Yoma 87b). The quotation of the confession of sins in Pesiḳ. R. (ed. Friedmann, xxxv. 160b; see note) also shows that the whole portion of the "Widdui" was known and familiar to all, and was included in the Talmudical reference in Yoma, See Liturgy.
The alphabetical enumeration of sins in Ashamnu and ''Al Ḥeṭ may also be traced to pre-Talmudic times, as the catalogue of sins in Rom. i. 29, with its number of twenty-two, seems to be based upon an alphabetical confession of sins used in Paul's time (see J. Rendel Harris, "The Teaching of the Apostles," Baltimore, 1887, who refers to Shab. 55a: "They that observe the Law from Aleph to Taw").
The confession of sins is recited during bathing in preparation for the Day of Atonement, by the bridegroom before his wedding, and by the sick who prepares for the approaching end. For a still larger catalogue of sins, see "Kiẓẓur Shene Luḥot ha-Berit, Seder Widdui," pp. 126b, 127, Amsterdam, 1683.

Q: R: Object doesn't find custom function I'm newbie in R and I want to create an object with his methods. I have defined my object and function with these code:
setClass("gComparativa", slots=list(data="ANY"))
show_graphic <- function(object) 0
setGeneric("show_graphic")
setMethod("show_graphic", "gComparativa", function(object){
})

I create and call the method with these code:
g <- new("gComparativa", data=data)
g.show_graphic()

But when I call the method I've this error:

Error in g.show_graphic() :    This function cannot be found
  "g.show_graphic"

What am I doing wrong? What can I define methods and call later?

A: You'll need
show_graphic(g)

instead. R's OOP systems don't generally work like many other programming languages. (Here's a good primer).
You can't access class functions via <objectname>.<functionname>(), but rather you just call the function on the object like <functionname>(<objectname>).
Consider that dots can be part of an object name in R; for example try
example.object <- 2
example.object
# [1] 2

The Belgrade-Sarajevo train takes 9 hours, chugging along at the steady pace of most Balkan transport. If it arrives on time, great. If not, oh well. The French aren't the only ones with a great national shrug.
The train is only a few mismatched carriages long. It's a little grimy and the windows are blurred, with the seats having a slightly 50s-airline feel to them. If you take it as it is, it's a pretty unremarkable train. When you learn a little about its history, however, you start to appreciate it for what it really is. Everybody – including any brief tourist who has read a quick history of the area – boards the train knowing what significance it carries. This journey didn't exist for 18 years, and during the war almost all communication between the capitals of Bosnia and Serbia was completely shut off. Before that this slow, shabby, behemoth of a train, was once pride of Yugoslavia. Named the 'Olympic Express', it was once decorated with plush red carpet and manned by smiling stewardesses. It ferried eager tourists, skiers and industrial figureheads between two of Yugoslavia's biggest cities; a bastion of the communist country's success. When war came, the train was discontinued.
The rail line only opened again in 2009, showing that there has at least been some progress in knitting this region back together.
The journey pops you briefly into Croatia before you hit Bosnia (taking us to the third country of trip before our second, confusingly) which means your passport gets an array of stamps, each with their own little steam-engine symbol. And it's when you hit Bosnia that the view out of the window starts to really impress. The train twists over a valley floor, with the mountains in the distance inching ever closer as the journey progresses. Bosnia was lush when we chugged through in the last few days of August, and you have to peer through the greenery to see the life behind it. But every now and again you are rewarded with a glimpse of the beautiful white brick and red roofs of the villages. Some cluster at the bottom of the hills whilst others spread out across the valley floor, each with church spires and mosque domes mixing at their centres. Every now and then a tidy white bricked farm appears with a sleepy dog watching you as you trundle past.
And there, through the trees, I spied something I had been looking for since we hit the Bosnian border. A Cousin Itt. Sitting in the middle of the field, with a wooden pole sticking horizontally out of the top. Five of them, actually. Two middle sized ones, one larger one with a big shaggy head, and another short fat one. And then one podgy looking one in the background staring longing at the crowd, wanting to be included.
Ok, maybe I am anthropomorphising these haystacks a little too much. But they have fascinated me ever since I took my first book out of the library for my dissertation and saw these fascinating Cousin Itt-like haystacks on the front page. I have no idea if this way of stacking hay is common in other places, but for some reason these hunched, almost human shapes of hay standing alone in the centre of empty fields like overweight scarecrows just make me smile.
They are a great symbol of the countryside, and as you come into Sarajevo this starts to fall away. The villages turn to towns and the well-spaced, two-floor red roofed buildings are jumbled together between the high rises. The gentle hills turn into rugged peaks, which I later found out were in the Dinaric Alps.
The first glimpse of Sarajevo is hardly inspiring. This was something we quickly learnt when travelling around by train; you never enter the prettiest part of town. In fact, train stations are usually the most run-down parts of any city all over the world. On our approach to Sarajevo, we saw the back of huge warehouses and empty scrubland that made up Sarajevo's industrial heart.
It was with a heavy heart that the train eventually stopped in Sarajevo. Not because we weren't excited to arrive – my dissertation was focused on Bosnia and it was this country that fascinated me and brought me to the region – but because we had to get our enormous rucksacks down from the luggage racks. Mine just about hit 9kg; my friend's came to 11kg. This meant that we were in line to become the next Team GB Olympic weight lifters.
After dragging our bags out of Sarajevo train station – a cavernous, soulless building with absolutely no indication of where or when trains were arriving/departing – we stood in front of an enormous car-park sized area of scrubland and sweated in the early afternoon heat.

Hematology Case study
Candy is a 13 year old who lives with her father and younger sister. Her mother died when Candy was 6 years old and her sister was 4 years old. Her father works a 12 hour shift full time to support himself and his daughters, and Candy makes sure she and her sister get to school each morning, take care of the house after school, and prepare their father's dinner so he can eat as soon as he gets home from work. All three are very close and on his days off, Candy's father is very devoted to his children. Candy began her menses when she was 11 years old and experiences regular periods every 28 days. She has excelled in school, being on the honor rolls consistently for the past 3 years. The past semester Candy's school performance began to decline and she has been complaining of being tired "all of the time." Her father notes that Candy "looks pale" and makes an appointment for Candy to be seen at the clinic .
At the clinic, the nurse practitioner performs a nursing history during which Candy's father shares the observations he has made and Candy verifies the information. The nurse practitioner's assessment reveals Candy is a clean, appropriately dressed, pale adolescent who appears fatigued. Candy's vital signs are:
Temperature: 35.9 C (96.6 F)
Pulse: 116 beats/minute
Respirations: 30 breaths/minute
Blood pressure: 90/60
Candy's lab values are:
Hemoglobin: 10 g/dL
Hematocrit: 28%
Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC): 450 mg/dL
Serum iron: 35 microgram/L (Broyles, 2006). You will need to answer the following questions and summarize in 1-2 paragraphs.
Be sure to include the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, pathophysiology, epidemiology, physical exam findings, diagnostic testing any needed referrals, management plans, patient education and follow-ups. Please submit to dropbox by the assigned due date.
What is diagnosis?
List 3 differential diagnosis (rule out by physical exam, diagnostic testing and/or labwork).
Discuss the pathophysiology, epidemiology and risk factors for the diagnosis.
Is there any other diagnostic testing that you would like to perform?
Is there a relationship between Candy's change in school performance and her diagnosis?
Discuss the relationship between the symptoms and the diagnosis.
Discuss the significance of the laboratory values.
Discuss the cause and effect relationship between Candy's level of growth and development and her diagnosis.
What other data would be helpful for the nurse practitioner to have?
What are the priorities of care for Candy?
What pharmacological and not pharmacological education would you give to this patient and her father?

The Buildings That Would Survive A Zombie Apocalypse
Published 31st of October 2018
Preparing for the zombie apocalypse has never been more apt. There are now more zombie-themed survival games than you can count, so you can see if you have nerves of steel if you were faced with hordes of the undead. In Reading, there's a deserted shopping centre where people can pretend have to make their way through a small army of hauntingly-realistic zombies, while across the pond, Michigan State University has introduced an accredited course on how to prepare for a theoretical zombie pandemic.
Given this growing interest, we at Shredall SDS Group wanted to use our expertise in secure storage to tackle the subject from a different angle - by exploring which buildings would be well protected enough to deal with a zombie apocalypse.
While it's fair to say that we're unlikely to ever experience a zombie apocalypse, it pays to be prepared. In the event of an actual outbreak, most of us would probably just grab the nearest blunt object and barricade ourselves in our local pub (Shaun of the Dead anyone?). For those of us who would, quite rightly, prefer a better plan, we've compiled a list of the six sites in the world that would give people inside the best chances of surviving an attack by hordes of the undead.
Cheyenne Mountain Complex, US
Credit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cheyenne_Mountain_Complex_entrance.jpg
The Cheyenne Mountain complex is a military bunker located in El Paso County, Colorado. This Cold War-era installation is one of the USA's most secure sites - shielded by 2,500 feet of granite, it is said that the facility could withstand nuclear bombs and biological weapons. It stands to reason, then, that it would be your best bet to survive a zombie apocalypse. With 6 million gallons of water stored in pools carved right out of the rock and with 510,000 gallons of diesel to fuel generators, anyone lucky enough to be inside could survive for a long time without ever having to brave the outdoors. They've even already prepared for a zombie apocalypse - well, sort off. Every year they hold a charity run along the 5K cave tunnel running through the complex, where participants have to run away from brain-eating zombies. A unique experience to say the least.
The Pentagon, US

As the home of the USA's Department of Defence, the Pentagon is where some of the country's most secretive plans are drawn up. It is therefore imperative that it remains secure in the event of any form of attack and is already ahead of the curve when it comes to preparing for zombies having had a plan in place since 2011!
Known as CONPLAN 8888-11, the strategy aims to provide a contingency plan in the event of attack by an outbreak of flesh-eating undead. It includes ideas of how to deal with vegetarian zombies (think graaaainsss rather than braaaiiinnnss) and alien zombies brought to Earth by an extraterrestrial lifeform
While this plan was written as a training exercise for young recruits, the military's motto of 'always be prepared' is certainly not lost on those working at the Pentagon. It is one of the most heavily guarded buildings in the world, with measures in place to guard against chemical and nuclear attacks. Armed guards are present around every corner and security cameras are installed throughout the complex, ensuring anyone trying to get in - living or dead - is kept under watch.
US Bullion Depository, Fort Knox, US
Credit:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bullion_Depository.TI
Being the third US-based site on our list of buildings ready for a zombie apocalypse, you might be starting to think about booking a one trip across the pond! The US Bullion Depository is perhaps the most secure building on the planet, housing approximately $270 billion in gold reserves. In the event of a zombie-fueled chaos, the most valuable thing about the site might not be the gold, but rather the incredible protection from outside threats.
The site is located behind four fences, two of which are electric. Beyond that, you'll find granite walls four feet thick, armed guards and a 22-ton vault door which can only be opened using a highly classified set of access codes. It's also suspected that the surrounding area is covered in motion detectors and land mines. Oh, and it's located on a military base that houses 30,000 American soldiers and 300 tanks. Take that zombies!
Svalbard seed vault, Norway
Credit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault_-_panoramio.jpg
One of the stranger locations on the list, the Svalbard seed vault is located on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen in the Arctic Svalbard archipelago. Although not as heavy defended as other buildings, its remoteness gives it an advantage over other sites affected by hordes of the undead.
Located about 1,300 kilometres from the North Pole, it would be extremely difficult to reach on foot. Moreover, the extremely cold weather would slow down any zombie trying to reach it, giving you enough time to escape if need be (unless they're white walkers, in which case your chances would be slim).
The Svalbard seed vault also has the advantage of having been designed with the worst case scenario in mind. Scientists from around the world have sent a range of crop seeds that would enable the planet to reboot in the event of a global disaster. With over 930,000 samples of different seeds and the right equipment, anyone inside could grow the necessary crops to survive a zombie apocalypse. The added bonus is that if the cooling system fails, the seeds could still remain viable for hundreds of years, allowing anyone inside to repopulate the Earth and eventually fight back.
Area 51, US
Credit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wfm_x51_area51_warningsign.jpg
If there's anywhere that's prepared for a zombie apocalypse, you'd bet good money that it'd be Area 51. This top secret military testing site is located in Nevada's Mojave Desert and has been the focus of many conspiracy theories related to UFO sightings and secret experiments using alien weaponry. Regardless of where you stand on these theories, what's certain is that the US government is desperate to protect Area 51 from outside interference.
After many years of securing the site, it stands to reason that Area 51 would survive a zombie apocalypse. It's protected by armed security, who are equipped with night-vision gear and encrypted radio frequencies. The entire military facility is also surrounded by sensors planted in the ground that can pick up the slightest of movements, meaning any zombie hungry for brains will be dealt with before it poses a serious threat.
Finally, none of the buildings have windows, as personnel working on the site are not allowed to see anything unrelated to their duties. This could play to a survivor's favour in a zombie apocalypse, offering some much-needed protection from the wandering eyes of a rotting corpse looking for his next meal.
Bahnhof Underground Data Centre, Stockholm, Sweden
Credit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:5_Pionen_D...
The final building on our list is the Bahnhof Underground Data Centre, a state-of-the-art facility situated 100 ft underground inside a Swedish bunker built to prepare for Cold War nuclear annihilation. The site, which has servers to protect some of the most sensitive digital information in the world, has a number of features which make it perfect for surviving a zombie attack.
Firstly, it only has one entrance - a tunnel which eventually leads to a 16-inch thick armored door which is effectively impenetrable. Any zombie hordes could be kept firmly at bay, giving those lucky enough to be inside some valuable peace and quiet.
Secondly, the data centre would allow anyone inside to communicate with the outside world at ease, potentially negotiating a rescue or for resources to be brought in. The site is kept cool by a cooling system powered by the chilly mountain air and local water systems, meaning the servers could be maintained and utilised for many years.
This was our list of the six buildings that would be most likely to survive a zombie apocalypse. While we couldn't keep you as secure as these sites, our facilities would certainly give you a decent chance.
Our data storage depots are kept underneath our main warehouse in Nottingham, in which we've also built vaults for added security. We keep our clients' most important documents within the solid walls of these vaults, with electronic access doors and cameras to monitor every square inch of our facilities - pretty useful for alerting us of an incoming horde! We provide a complete information-management service, from shredding and recycling to document scanning and document storage. Enquire today to see how we could help you.

Mardy Fish helping to destigmatize mental illness with return to tennis
The former world No 7 is giving a new face and voice to the millions who struggle with anxiety disorders.
The toughest battles of Mardy Fish's tennis career have been at far closer range: inside himself.
Fish, 33, spent time as the highest-ranked American man during a career which took him as high as No7 in the ATP rankings in 2011. He worked tirelessly on his fitness during his late-career rise, transforming his diet and body to become lighter and more agile. But his career resurgence derailed because of a heart problem (he was diagnosed with cardiac Arrhythmia and he underwent cardiac ablation) for that transformed into a more insidious psychological impediment. The panic anxiety attacks that followed proved the most difficult to control, as they ultimately forced him off the tour.
Fish's struggles extended far off the court. After withdrawing from the 2012 US Open, a panic-struck Fish broke down as his flight home pulled away from the terminal, and his wife Stacey had to ask the crew to return to the gate so he could get off. Once home on a chartered jet, Fish went long stretches without ever leaving his home.
Slowly, Fish managed to gain more control of his life. Last year, he spent time playing semi-pro golf, which he says proved a "coping mechanism".
He is still on anti-anxiety medication and remains in therapy. He usually wears a heart rate monitor when he practices. But he has moved forward. He can sleep alone. He flew cross-country alone.
But simply by returning to tennis, Fish has already given a new face and voice to the millions who struggle with similar issues, demonstrating that mental illness is in no way a weakness.
"It can be beaten," Fish told the New York Times earlier this week. "It can be conquered. I'm going to try and show people that it's possible at the highest level."

On 12 May 2016, we flew into Nice, France with a group of friends, hired a rental car and drove just across the border of Italy to spend 4 days at one of our friend's house in the mountains near Ventimiglia.
I found quite a few butterflies there, some other insects and of course a few birds.
On the third day we participated in the Menton Marathon, a 10 km run along the seaside of the lovely French town of Menton.
The fourth day was spent near the pool to recover.

Arguably the most sought after model of the Hamilton electrics, the mesh bracelet is original for the timepiece and the case looks very sharp and a fresh battery has been installed. The watch is quadruple signed Hamilton visible on the dial, crown, case, and movement. The 505 electrical movement has been cleaned and kept good time over a 24 hour period. The watch sets and winds smoothly with the hack function fully operational. The inside back case reads: Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster PA, 10K goldfilled, E78239.

Florence + The Machine Finally Made The Album We've Always Wanted To Hear
The UK songwriter strips backs her sound to make her biggest statement yet.
By Alex Frank
Some storms build slowly, but Florence + the Machine's big new album rides in like a tornado in Kansas—one rapturous spin, and then it's gone. The opening line of the opening song, aptly titled "Ship to Wreck," concerns a need for sleeping pills to quiet the head. It's a song about drunken regret: Florence Welch sings about drinking too much and not remembering what happened afterwards. It's rock and pop distilled to those genres' very lyrical essence. She sings about fucking up, acting erratically, ruining something, being hungover, needing some sleep—things people have been singing about since before Mick Jagger, since the blues. From the get-go, it's clear that this album is not going to be an easy ride, but it's going to be an honest one.
Welch, who fronts the band with an ever-changing rotation of musicians serving as The Machine, has said that How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful is about some recent hard times from her real life. "It was a decision to have a year off," she told Zane Lowe. [I had] a bit of a nervous breakdown. It was a bit of a crash landing, in a sense. It was a funny time—I've been so used to [having] a gig at the end of every day...In the year off, I was still going out and going to events, but something wasn't quite right. I was spiraling a bit; I wasn't making myself happy. I think I just felt very unstable." Welch is famous for an otherworldly sound that relies on metaphors of water and nature, but for How Big, How Blue, How Beautuful, she and producer Markus Dravs stripped everything down to focus on more direct songwriting. "Markus really encouraged me to be more vulnerable. I like hiding behind things—metaphor, reverb, extra vocals—and he just wouldn't let me do that," she told Elle. "The lyrics were more direct, so the music simplified along with that."
You can hear that shift in the album's pure, eager urgency, and her newfound rawness is a welcome change. Listening to her first two albums, 2009's Lungs and 2011's Ceremonials, I often felt that Welch's fantastical sound was a crutch. The music might have been personal, but wrapped up in a kind of Renaissance Fair mysticism, it was often hard to tell. There was often an enormous amount of fuzz and reverb, with layers of ghostly harmonies, as though she were intentionally trying to keep the audience at a cold distance. Florence dipped her toe into dance music with Calvin Harris, achieved a certain amount of fame, especially in her home turf, the UK (How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful debuted at the top of the British charts this week, making it her third number-one album), and on the festival circuit. But bigger celebrity, for which she has always seemed poised, has eluded her in the US. This album should change that—in fact, just yesterday, it was announced that How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful had debuted at number one on Billboard, a first for Florence in America.
Welch has often been compared to Kate Bush—the odd fairy princess of pop—but on this new work, I hear a sharper tone in Welch's voice, with hints of Beth Ditto, Chrissie Hynde, Annie Lennox, even a bit of Lana Del Rey's disgusted pathos. This is a great thing. She seems to have tamped down on the desire to be idiosyncratic, and instead embraced just being plainly powerful.
"Ship to Wreck" is clear and confident, a kind of magical exemplar of the uncomplicated, infinitely complicated art of straightforward pop.
Instead, I'd call Florence's new album music for the post-Haim era. With their 2013 debut album, Days Are Gone, the L.A. trio of sisters (and one-time FADER cover stars) reminded the world of the joys of plain, earthy AM radio rock by bands like Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles. Taylor Swift followed suit the following year, edging out her country roots for a softer pop sound and making the best—and best-selling—album of her career, with 1989. On How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, Florence's "What Kind of Man" is crunching and huge, a stadium rock song à la Gary Glitter to clap your hands to, and a pissed-off ode to bad love that'll sting any listener who has just been through a breakup. On the title track, pretty horns adorn her voice's unmistakable, bare tremble, which reminds us, of all people, of Natalie Merchant at her best moments. Occasionally, she falls back into some of her murky, messy tendencies, like on middling "Third Eye," but then quickly makes it up for it with heftier jams, like "Mother," with its raging psych-rock guitars.
But it's "Ship to Wreck" that matters most. It's been some time since a song burned this bright. You sense that Haim, Tame Impala, Swift, and Del Rey have all been reaching for moments as cool and catchy as "Ship to Wreck," but to my ear, none have created a song quite like this. The chorus is huge—her voice bangs with banshee howls—but she takes her time getting there, laying down a foundation of jangly rock and well-written words. I don't have much else to say about it other than that—it's clear and confident, a kind of magical exemplar of the uncomplicated, infinitely complicated art of straightforward pop. Verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus—it's the kind of song you imagine a record label boss hearing for the first time and screaming, "Now, that's a hit!" If it can sneak its way into the sea of Jason Derulo and Maroon 5 songs that now dominate the radio, it could even be a song of the summer contender. Hell, If she had done nothing else but "Ship to Wreck," it would've been enough. That's the trick, after all, in pop music: one triumphant moment that makes everyone close their eyes and sing along, and nothing else matters.
