These types of ailments affect many of us in our daily lives. They're not serious enough to warrant a trip to the doctor — or maybe you tried only to be told there was nothing wrong — but they still tend to drag you down, wearing away your resistance and leaving you feeling like you're just getting old.
I have good news for you — it probably has nothing to do with aging. Instead, you may simply be surrounded by too many toxins.
Not sure? Here are seven signs to look for — and how you can clean up your system and feel better in 30 days!
Note: Always check with your doctor to eliminate any possible medical conditions as causes of these symptoms.
Even if you're sleeping well, you may fight to get through the day. This could be a sign that your body is working too hard to get rid of the toxins you're pouring into it. How do you cope with fatigue? If you're answer is "more coffee" or "sweet foods," you can bet that you're only making the problem worse. That fatigue could also be in response to hormone disruptors that are zapping your immune system.
It's never easy to lose weight, but if you're exercising daily and cutting back on calories and you're still putting on the pounds, you could be looking at a hormonal problem. Strangely enough, our natural hormone function can be greatly affected by the toxins in our foods and personal care products. You need a complete detox of your diet and personal care routine to give your body a fighting chance.
You brush and brush, chew gum, rinse, and swallow breath mints, and still, you can't get rid of it. Bad breath is often related to digestive problems, but it can also mean that your liver is struggling to get rid of the toxins in your body. Until you tackle the problem from the source, you'll continue to scare away anyone who comes close!
The intestines get rid of a lot of toxins every day of our lives. When we're constipated, we're storing up all those toxins, allowing them to negatively affect our bodies. In addition to stomach upset, constipation can cause headaches, aches and pains, and tiredness. It can also be related to the toxins in your life, especially if you're consuming a lot of processed foods filled with chemicals, pesticides, and preservatives.
Strong reactions to smells — particularly fragrances — might mean that you're simply sensitive to chemicals, which many of us are. It can also mean that your body is fighting toxic overload. Particularly if you suffer headaches or stomach upset simply from scents, this may be the case.
If you can't tie these to your workout yesterday, could be that the toxins in your life are working away at your muscles and joints. This is more likely if you experience muscle aches on a regular basis.
Acne, rashes, and other skin problems may signal a toxic overload. Acne, in particular, can be related to the toxins in our diet or skin care products. Puffy eyes and eczema or psoriasis outbreaks can also be signs that you've just reached your toxic limit.
Support your liver with things like dandelion tea, parsley, cilantro, and milk thistle.
Drink more water — it helps flush toxins out of your body.
Exercise at least 30 minutes a day. Exercise gets the circulation moving, helping to move toxins along.
Get a good daily supply of digestion-supportive probiotics, found in kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, Kombucha tea, miso soup, tempeh, and kim chi.
Always brush your tongue — even better, use a tongue scraper—when brushing your teeth.
Practice deep breathing — we get rid of a lot of the toxins in our bodies through our lungs.
Use only natural skin care products that are free of fragrances, sulfates, phthalates, parabens, and other potentially toxic ingredients, and always read labels. Use my Ingredients to Avoid list to find safer options.
Choose clean, whole, and organic foods whenever possible!
Here's to living a healthy, toxin-free life!

Synopsys Takes Hierarchical Timing Signoff Mainstream
| | Rate | Review | More EDA News
New Automation Technology Brings 5x - 10x Reduction in Compute Costs and Runtime
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 7, 2016 — (PRNewswire) — Highlights:
Hierarchical timing reuse reduces schedule-risk while using fewer compute resources
Automated distribution of full-chip analysis runs on smaller, more readily available resources
Dynamic top-down and bottom-up block context information enables more accurate signoff
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced 2nd generation technology that enables semiconductor design teams to adopt a smarter, more efficient hierarchical approach to static timing analysis (STA) for timing closure and signoff across all design sizes and levels of complexity. Built on proven PrimeTime® HyperScale hierarchical STA technology and included in the 2016.12 release of the PrimeTime static timing analysis tool, this new capability automates partitioning and distribution of full-chip analysis across a company's private compute cloud, reducing costs and time.
"When we brought the first generation PrimeTime HyperScale technology to our early adopters, it revolutionized the way design teams completed timing closure and signoff on the largest and most complex chips," said Robert Hoogenstryd, senior director of marketing for design analysis and signoff tools at Synopsys. "Our second generation provides additional automation and flexibility, allowing more design teams the opportunity to adopt smarter hierarchical signoff flows while maintaining the gold standard accuracy they expect from PrimeTime."
Flexible Methodology with Proven Hierarchical Technology
HyperScale has been used for static timing analysis on more than 40 of the largest and most complex designs at more than 15 different companies over the last 5 years. These tapeouts include complex graphics, high-performance computing, low-power mobile, and reliable automotive designs.
The 2nd generation of PrimeTime HyperScale technology allows users to easily migrate from flat design analysis to hierarchical block-level analysis and full-chip distributed timing analysis, using mainstream compute resources available in private computing clouds. The hierarchical methodology supports both top-down and bottom-up flows, with state-of-the-art, timing-accurate context generation. This enables HyperScale block-level model analysis to be re-used throughout the flow, instead of re-analyzing the same blocks over and over at each level. The 5x – 10x performance and memory improvements reduce both compute resource cost and schedule risk, for current and future designs.
Market-leading companies who have deployed HyperScale for use in their signoff and tapeout flows include Broadcom Limited, Juniper Networks, MediaTek, Renesas Electronics Corporation, and Samsung Electronics Company.
Availability and Resources
The HyperScale 2nd generation technology is available now as part of the PrimeTime 2016.12 release. For additional information, visit the Synopsys PrimeTime Technology page or contact your local Synopsys account team.

Pacific Standard became a subsidiary under Hello Sunshine.
In February 2019, Steve Jobs' widow Laurene Powell Jobs made a major investment in Hello Sunshine. At the same time, Otter Media increased its stake.
On August 1, 2021 it was announced that a private equity firm backed by the Blackstone Group had acquired Hello Sunshine. The company reportedly sold at a $900 million valuation.

Out of the Hundreds Who Walked By, One Person Finally Saved a Dog Dumped at a Train Station
10/04/2016 09/07/2016 by Melanie
A young dog, clearly used as a breeding machine for as long as she was useful, was heartlessly tied up to a railing at a Brooklyn train station and abandoned. Hundreds of passersby barely even glanced at her, but one woman finally stopped to help, and now Betsey is safe and comfortable for the first time in probably her whole life.
She's only two years old, but has been churning out puppies for as long as she's been old enough to do so. Her nails are so overgrown that walking is painful, and the pressure sores on her joints show that she has been forced to lie down nearly all of the time. So being deserted at a bustling subway platform during rush hour must have been terribly frightening.
Brooklyn's Atlantic terminal sees thousands of travelers every day, yet only one stopped for a moment to pay this girl any attention. She was still wearing a prong collar, and her former owner ditched her with nothing but a garbage bag as a bed.
"It was determined that she had been there for at least an hour and nobody had called the cops or animal control," Marisa Grimshaw of Mr. Bones & Co. animal rescue told The Dodo. "So we can only imagine how many people walked past her — and I'm sure didn't think it was normal but also didn't feel compelled to stop and help her."
Sarah Borok was on her way home from work when she came across the trembling dog, and she knew she had to help. She called the police, who contacted animal control. Borok waited with the "throwaway mama" until they arrived. The dog was taken to a shelter in Brooklyn and named Betsey.
"Betsey was shy and timid. But staff at the shelter had no concerns about her behavior. She wagged her tail, let other dogs sniff her," Grimshaw explained.
The next day, Borok came to visit and see how she was doing.
"Betsey was excited to see her again the next day at the shelter and definitely remembered her," Grimshaw said.
This girl is in need of some serious rest and pampering. She appears to have already had several litters, her feet are stained with filth, and she has some kind of grime embedded in her fur. But now she's being cared for since being pulled from the shelter by Mr. Bones.
Before going to a foster home, she was able to spend her first night with Borok. It's a shame that she cannot adopt Betsey, as they seem to get along very well, but it's just not in the cards. She will be up for adoption soon, and needs to go to a home with patient people who understand that she has limited dog experiences: leashes, toys, and treats confound her.
"She's extremely sweet," Grimshaw said. "She allows everyone she meets to pet her and she's always eagerly seeking out pets from everyone. She lights up when she sees other dogs and she wags her tail."
Mr. Bones & Co. many truly wonderful dogs available for adoption, including Miss Betsey here. If you are interested and live in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, or Rhode Island, please click here to fill out an adoption application. If you can't adopt but would still like to help, please click here to donate towards her medical care.

People that do this to such a wonderful creature should be treated as they have the animals. If, I was close to where she is,I would take her in a heartbeat. We (my fiancee & I) have 4 small dogs, They are such a joy. Our little ones know how to make us smile when we are having a bad day. I wish the dog a speedy recovery and pray she finds a loving home.
people who do this need beat with a hose
Whoever abandoned this poor dog needs to be shot on site…what a horrible human being…the dog is beautiful and I hope she has a long and happy life with this woman who saved her.
NY has never been a friendly place since I can remember I lived there for a long time. what can anyone expect from New Yorker they are to self absorb in their mundane lives.
I'm a NYer and I absolutely adore animals. I live in SI, but if I would have seen this dog in the subway, I would have stopped in a heartbeat and helped. Yes, there are many NYers that are self absorbed, many. BUT there are the select few like me and my husband that would do anything to save a dog.
What a shame. Whoever the black person was who abandoned this dog should be punished. The abuse of pit bulls etc. by black people is disgusting. When we all wake up and see the numbers of these and realize it is a race thing we will be on the way to solving the abuse. No one wants to admit it. They are so busy being politically correct so they let these animals suffer at the hands of these people. They feed them gunpowder to burn their insides so they are mean and can be used for fighting and use other small dogs for training them to kill. OPEN YOUR EYES ANIMAL LOVERS.
PitOwner GA!
WoW! I know you're voting for "DRUMP" again who said this was a black owner. I would love to visit your house and see how you take care of your pets. Real Dumb "AZZ"
I agree open your eyes guys abusers come in all shapes, size, color a man or woman!!
99 percent of the bad shit that goes on is from blacks . they have no skills outside of drinking, smoking , drugs , and not working
It is a dark and evil lifestyle to hurt innocent animals and humans. These creeps will pay their penalties to God someday.
No where in the article did they state WHO abandoned the dog….l.why do you assume the person was black? Voting for Trump huh?
I am sorry. How the race card enters into this is beyond me. Michael Vick???????? How is voting for Donald Trump connnected to animal abuse/cruelty? Do you think that Mrs. Clinton is any body who would be kind to animals? She treats her Secret Service people like dirt …. why would she be kinder to a 4-legged animal???? Animal abuse is not selective to any particular race..or demographic. It is a sad commentary of the condition of the "human race". God forgive us all.
Absolutely agree Susan! You bizarre people who bring Trump into this conversation need to get the heck OUT of it. Also, to "Dave" who keeps commenting on every dog abuse story about "black dog owners," needs to just stop and maybe consider counseling. Both groups are ridiculous and just plain sad.
because he was
Todd Adams
Good thing she was saved, at least she has a chance at a decent life now…Props to the lady who stepped up…and the same to Betsey…some people are the worst thing to come along…instead of controlling the dogs and animals as vigorously as has been pursued…people should be more so controlled…most people have ruined everything they touch…not just some but seemingly the majority….since the beginning of time…I'm ashamed to be a human…to tell the truth…but the way things are…It's worse to be an animal in this world…or so it seems…THANK YOU to Ms. Sarah Borok for stepping up and doing something that hundreds of other self absorbed people would not do… THANK YOU Ms. Sarah, you restored my faith in humanity,.. though it is still very limited…there is that ray of hope that people like you shed upon such a dismal place… THANK YOU FOR THE PULL UP ! ! !
Chewy's mommy
Out of all the comments made… Your right people are to blame most everything we humans touch have hurt, scared or some how damaged a life of a animal more than helped one. Thank God we have a few people that go out of their way to help the ones that have no voice only a look that asks for help!
GypsyHeart "GypsyHeart_1204" GypsyHeart
Hopefully, this sweet girl finds a good home with people that love her.
Pets like miss Betsey are the reason I like my pets more than people.
@Dave Really, buddy? Isn't that a little strong? To try to pin this on a group of people solely because of their race?!? Hateful as it is, I kinda think that white people are also involved – duh! – with dog fighting. Or, are you trying on purpose to add gasoline to the fire (of dog fighting) that's already out of control? Your passion is splendid but your pointed racism is not.

Ahmedabad, Jan 29 (PTI) Former Gujarat Chief Minister Shankarsinh Vaghela was Tuesday inducted into the Nationalist Congress Party here in the presence of its chief Sharad Pawar and made the party's national general secretary.

Pawar said NCP will use Vaghela's political experience and mass following in Gujarat as well as for the party's national development. Also Read - Live Cricket Score Ind vs Aus 4th Test Day 3 Today's Match Live Updates Gabba, Brisbane: Thakur Joins Sundar After Pant Departs, 200 up For India
"When democracy is under threat in India under BJP rule, I have decided to join the NCP to fight against BJP and strengthen the hands of anti-BJP forces," Vaghela said after joining Pawar's party.

When queried whether he would fight the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls, Vaghela said it was for his party to decide.
Speaking on the occasion, Pawar said, "I have asked Vaghela to not only concentrate on Gujarat but also contribute towards national development of NCP. He will be national general secretary of the party. In Gujarat we want to strengthen anti-BJP forces and by bringing in Vaghela, we have tried to do that."
His entry into the NCP can lead to a three-corner fight on a few Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat in case the Congress and the NCP fail to reach an alliance against the ruling BJP, political observers said.
All 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat are currently in the BJP's kitty.
The NCP and Congress had fought 2017 Assembly polls separately with the former managing to win just one seat in the 182-member House.
The 78-year-old Kshatriya strongman had left the Congress before the 2017 Gujarat Assembly elections, after he and a few of his supporter MLAs voted against Ahmed Patel, the Congress candidate for the Rajya Sabha, and backed BJP nominee Balwantsinh Rajput.
Vaghela, however, did not join the ruling BJP and put up Independent candidates in the state Assembly elections held in December 2017, all of whom lost.
The former Gujarat chief minister recently toured various places, including Delhi, declaring that he would work for the defeat of the BJP-led government at the Centre.
Vaghela started his career with the BJP, but in 1996 engineered a split in the saffron party after he was denied chief ministership a year earlier in favour of Keshubhai Patel.
Vaghela, in 1996, became the state's chief minister with outside support from the Congress.
He also served as Union textile minister in the Manmohan Singh government at the Centre as well as Gujarat Congress president and leader of opposition in the state Assembly.


The more one knows about the unique characteristics of wood and its source, the better one can understand the degree of warmth and beauty that it brings to our everyday décor. Furniture made of wood is one of the few things in the world that all people can own and know that they are the only person in the world who owns that particular grain pattern and its inherent beauty. Each grain pattern is a unique masterpiece of design, texture and splendor. Even what some may view as a defect, like a knot or other natural blemishes, can add more beauty and character to any given piece of furniture.
The classification of wood has historically always been either hard wood; any leaf bearing tree, and soft wood; any cone bearing tree. These terms can be confusing since some leaf bearing trees can have very soft wood and some coniferous trees can have very hard woods. To make this easier, below you will find a list of different tree types, classification and then individual wood characteristics.
There are two basic wood grades. Select lumber is excellent quality for use when appearance and finishing are important and common lumber that has defects used for construction and general-purpose projects. The grades of the select lumber are: B and Better grade, which has minute or no blemishes; C Select grade which has some minor defects such as small knots; D select grade that has larger imperfections, which can be concealed by paint. The grades of common lumber are No. 1 grade containing tight knots and few blemishes. No. 2 grade that has more and larger knots and blemishes. No. 3 grade that has loose knots, knotholes, and other flaws. No. 4 grade that is low quality and No. 5 grade where the appearance is not important.
OAK: Oak is the most widely used hardwood. There are more than 60 species of oak grown in the U.S., which can be separated into two basic varieties; white and red. The red variety is also known as black oak (a reference to its bark).
Properties: Oak is a heavy, strong, light colored hardwood. It is ring porous, due to the fact that more and larger conductive vessels are laid down early in the summer, rather than later. Prominent rings and large pores give oak a course texture and prominent grain. Oak also has conspicuous medullary rays which can be seen as "flakes" in quarter sawed oak lumber.
Uses: Oak is the most popular wood used to craft American and English country designs. It is also used for Gothic and William & Mary reproductions, as well as many transitional and contemporary pieces.
MAPLE: There are 115 species of maple. Only 5 commercially important species grow in the U.S. Two of the five are hard rock maple and sugar maple.
Properties: Maple is so hard and resistant to shocks that it is often used for bowling alley floors. Its diffuse evenly sized pores give the wood a fine texture and even grain. Maple that has a curly grain is often used for violin backs (the pattern formed is known as fiddleback figure). Burls, leaf figure, and birds-eye figures found in maple are used extensively for veneers. The Birds eye figure in maple is said to be the result of stunted growth and is quite rare.
Uses: Maple is used extensively for American colonial furniture, especially in medium and lower priced categories. It can also be stained to simulate cherry wood, which it resembles.
MAHOGANY: Mahogany, also known as Honduras mahogany is a tropical hardwood indigenous to South America, Central America and Africa. There are many different grades and species sold under this name, which vary widely in quality and price. Mahogany which comes from the Caribbean is thought to be the hardest, strongest and best quality. Logs from Africa, though highly figured, are of slightly lesser quality. Philippine mahogany has a similar color, but is not really mahogany at all. It is a much less valuable wood, being less strong, not as durable or as beautiful when finished.
Properties: Mahogany is strong, with a uniform pore structure and poorly defined annual rings. It has a reddish - brown color and may display stripe, ribbon, broken stripe, rope, ripple, mottle, fiddleback or blister figures. Crotch mahogany figures are widely used and greatly valued. Mahogany is an excellent carving wood and finishes well.
Uses: Mahogany is used extensively in the crafting of Georgian, Empire and Federal reproduction furniture. Mahogany is also used in styles ranging from Victorian furniture reproductions to Contemporary.
CHERRY: Cherry is grown in the Eastern half of the U.S.. It is sometimes called fruitwood. The term fruitwood is also used to describe a light brown finish on other woods.
Properties: A moderately hard, strong, closed grain, light to red-brown wood, cherry resists warping and checking. It is easy to carve and polish.
Uses: Cherry veneers and solids are used in a variety of styles. Cherry has been called New England mahogany and is often used to craft 18th century, Colonial and French Provincial designs.
WALNUT: Walnut is one of the most versatile and popular cabinet making woods. It grows in Europe, America and Asia. There are many different varieties.
Properties: Walnut is strong, hard and durable, without being excessively heavy. It has excellent woodworking qualities, and takes finishes well. The wood is light to dark chocolate brown in color with a straight grain in the trunk. Wavy grain is present toward the roots, and walnut stumps are often dug out and used as a source of highly figured veneer. Large burls are common. Walnut solids and veneers show a wide range of figures, including strips, burls, mottles, crotches, curls and butts. European walnut is lighter in color and slightly finer in texture than American black walnut, but otherwise comparable.
Uses: Walnut is used in all types of fine cabinet work, especially 1 8th century reproductions.
ROSEWOOD: Very hard and has a dark reddish brown color. It is fragrant and close grained. It is hard to work and takes high polish. Used in musical instruments, piano cases, tool handles, art projects, veneers and furniture.
TEAK: True teak is indigenous to Southeast Asia, but similar wood species also grow in Africa.
Properties & Uses: Teak is a yellow to dark brown hardwood which is extremely heavy, strong and durable. Often strongly figured, teak may show straight grain, mottled or fiddleback figures. It carves well, but because of its high value, is often used as a veneer. Scandinavian modern, and oriental furniture styles are often crafted of teak.
Properties: Pine is a soft, white or pale yellow wood which is light weight, straight grained and lacks figure. It resists shrinking and swelling. Knotty pine is often used for decorative effect.
Properties: Ash is a hard, heavy, ring porous hardwood. It has a prominent grain that resembles oak, and a white to light brown color. Ash can be differentiated from hickory (pecan) which it also resembles, by white dots in the darker summerwood which can be seen with the naked eye. Ash burls have a twisted, interwoven figure.


Port Phillip council in Melbourne wants to be the first in Victoria to run a pill testing trial with the help of venues, after several festival deaths.
An inner-Melbourne council wants to help curb the "bitter harvest of bodies" from drug deaths by becoming the first in Victoria to run a pill testing trial.
Port Phillip council, which includes the popular St Kilda entertainment district, is calling on the Andrews Labor government to allow and help fund drug testing at participating venues.
The call follows a string of suspected overdose deaths at Australian music festivals.
"The testing has to make sure and stress at all times that it's better not to take the pills," he said.
"But you are not going to stop people taking the pills, so you minimise harm. You never eradicate harm."
He pointed to the harm minimisation programs for the Richmond injecting room and needle exchange programs.
Reason Party's Fiona Patten will be joined by other crossbench members of the Legislative Council and health experts on Monday at parliament to call on the Andrews government to approve a trial.

"This story is about what happens when we put our differences aside, and we come together as a human race. We win. Love wins every time."
Hidden Figures won the SAG Award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture Sunday night.
The film's cast beat out the ensembles of Captain Fantastic, Fences, Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight for the honor.
"This film is about unity," said a teary-eyed Taraji P. Henson alongside the cast, producers and director. "The shoulders of the women that we stand on are there American heroes: Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson. Without them, we would not know how to reach the stars."
"These women did not complain about the problems, the issues the circumstances. They focused on solutions," she continued. "Therefore, these brave women helped put brave men into space. And we cannot forget the men who worked with them: God rest his soul, John Glenn."
"This story is about what happens when we put our differences aside, and we come together as a human race," Henson concluded. "We win. Love wins every time.... They are hidden figures no more!"
The awards were handed out Sunday night at the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles.

Jersey Schools Support Veterans this Memorial Day
Jillian Decker2019-05-24T15:26:39-04:00
The Poppy: A Symbol of Memorial Day
by Jillian Decker, Director of Development
The wearing of poppies in honor of America's war dead is traditionally done on Memorial Day. The practice of wearing of poppies was inspired by the poem In Flanders Fields, written in 1915 by Canadian soldier John McCrae. McCrae was a poet, physician, author, artist and soldier during World War I and a surgeon during the Second Battle of Ypres in Belgium in 1915. McCrae's friend Lt. Alexis Helmer was killed during the battle and his burial inspired the poem which was written on May 3, 1915. McCrae saw the poppies during burials around his artillery position.
Between the crosses, row on row,
– John McCrae, May 1915
Jennifer LaScala, ceramics visual arts teacher at Sayreville War Memorial High School in Parlin, NJ had her students create ceramic poppy flowers to honor our Veterans. She reached out to the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Foundation to install the flowers on the Memorial grounds for Memorial Day, in a space where they would be appreciated and would honor the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Ms. LaScala's students created nearly 200 ceramic poppies that sit at the base of the armed forces flags at the Memorial's outer wall. Sayreville is joined by the art teachers of Northern Burlington County Regional High School, Burlington High School, New Brunswick High School, and Middlesex High School, placing about 320 poppies on the site for Memorial Day.
The poppies installation will remain until teachers collect them on Tuesday, May 28. Students, families, and the community are invited to join the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Foundation on Monday, May 27th for our Memorial Day Ceremony starting at 11:00AM. The Vietnam Era Museum and Education Center will remain open following the ceremony until 2:00PM.

More solid results for Finn Lynch at the Sailing World Cup is the perfect birthday gift for the Laser Olympic helm in tricky and light winds in Hyeres on the Cote D'Azur.
The National Yacht Club single-hander scored a 21 and 17 on day 2 to move up to two places to 14th overall, six nett points off the top ten in a fleet of 68. Results here.
Lynch, who became Ireland's youngest ever Irish Olympic helmsman when he debuted in Rio age 20, turned 22 on April 23rd.
The other Irish boat competing this week, Lynch's Rio 2016 team mate, Ryan Seaton, now paired with Royal Cork's Seafra Guilfoyle in the 49er skiff, ended day two after five races in 25th place from a fleet of 40.
At 20:35 local time the last of the 647 sailors from 46 nations competing at the third round of Sailing's World Cup Series ot back to the dock, marking the end of a long and challenging day.
A foggy morning with no wind became a sunny afternoon with a light 5-8 knot breeze that tested the sailors composure and patience with delays ashore and on the water.
Races were held across every fleet but only the RS:X competitors could complete their full schedule of races as the 49er competitors pulled down their sails under the glow of the marina lights to close the day.
For many years, the Polish RS:X team have based themselves in Hyères for Spring training and with plenty of time on the water, they know the venue well.
Success has followed in both the men's and women's categories and could well continue after Zofia Noceti Klepacka (POL), Hyères winner in 2008, 2016 and 2017 advanced to the top of the 44-boat fleet.
Klepacka, a London 2012 bronze medallist, sailed her way to a 5-1-6 scoreline and is seven points clear of China's Peina Chen. Klepacka was relieved to be ashore after a grueling day in the light winds, "We were on land waiting to go out for quite some time, eating sandwiches and drinking coffee waiting for the wind," explained Klepacka. "When we went out to race we had to pump a lot which made us very tired.
"I am glad that we will start after the men tomorrow so we can get more time to recover so let's pray for more wind so we can sail."
Much like Klepacka, Chen knows what it takes to achieve success in Hyères following a victory in 2009 and knows she has the skillset to move up the leaderboard, "On both days the wind hasn't been stable and it's been tiring for all of us to sail but I think I have really good strength," expressed Chen. "That is why I can compete against some of the best like Zofia and Noga [Geller (ISR)] who are really strong sailors."
In the Men's RS:X, French sailors continue to occupy the top positions but a new leader has emerged. All of the top racers had a mixed day with good and bad scores combined but Louis Giard (FRA) did enough to grab top spot.
Sitting on 26 points, Giard is three clear of China's Mengfan Gao and overnight leader Pierre Le Coq (FRA) who are tied.
Three challenging Nacra 17 races were held and Italy's Ruggero Tita and Caterina Marianna Banti picked up a 1-(15)-4 scoreline to remove the early pacesetters, Ben Saxton and Nicola Boniface (GBR), from the top of the tree.
The Italians recently won gold at the Trofeo Princesa Sofia and finished third at the 2017 Nacra 17 World Championship.
They are lacking a World Cup medal but only have their eye on one colour, "We are here to win," exclaimed Banti. "We have some of the best here, including Santi and Cecilia, and Jason and Lisa. I think the Spanish, Fernando Echávarri and Tara Pacheco are also strong contenders.
"We will try out best and do whatever it takes. Our plan is to just sail as fast as we can."
Iker Martinez and Olga Masilvets (ESP) round up the podium with plenty of races ahead of the 30-boat fleet.
Helene Naess and Marie Rønningen (NOR) moved up to first overall in the 49erFX but New Zealand's Alex Maloney and Molly Meech shone in the challenging conditions by picking up two race wins. The Kiwis are nine points off the leading Norwegians.
The day's remaining race win went the way of Natasha Bryant and Annie Wilmot (AUS), 2016 Youth Sailing World Champions in the 29er, who are making only their second World Cup Series appearance.
Poland's Dominik Buksak and Szymon Wierzbicki and Australia's David Gilmour and Joel Turner continue to do battle in the 49er fleet. From two light wind races in a dying twilight breeze, the Polish team picked up a 19th, which they discard and an eighth. Meanwhile, the Australians won a race and count the 13th from the other.
Just one point separates them with two more days of fleet racing remaining. Belgium's Yannick Lefèbvre and Tom Pelsmaekers are eight points off the leading duo in third.
The 470 Men and Women only managed to complete one race but this saw major shifts on the leaderboards as the discard came into play.
The Japanese team of Tetsuya Isozaki and Akira Takayanagi ascended from seventh to first place, and the Swedes, Anton Dahlberg and Fredrik Bergström drop to second. Paul Snow-Hansen and Daniel Willcox (NZL) occupy third.
In the Women's 470, Noya Bar-Am and Nina Amir (ISR) made their way from tenth to first on the, and the Chinese, Mengxi Wei and Haiyan Gao, drop from first to second. Silvia Mas Depares & Patricia Cantero Reina (ESP) hold third place.
Jonathan Lobert (FRA) managed to retain his lead in the Finn despite not finishing his third race. Nicholas Heiner (NED) climbed up from fifth place and finished second whilst Jorge Zarif (BRA) drops from second to third place.
The Laser Radial has proven to be a tough competition between the top racers, even after just four close races. The fleet managed two races which saw a shift between Marit Bouwmeester (NED) and Paige Railey (USA).
Bouwmeester now holds top position overnight, moving up one place whilst Railey dropped to second. Viktorija Andrulyte (LTU) maintains third place.
The Laser pack also managed to complete two races on day two. Tonci Stipanovic (CRO) continues to hold top spot after discarding his fourth race. Jean Baptiste Bernaz (FRA) capitalised in the light winds and moved up from fourth to second, whilst Pavlos Kontides (CYP) dropped from second to third.
Antonio Squizzato (ITA) broke Damien Seguin's (FRA) winning run in the 2.4 Norlin OD as he picked up the victory in the third race of the series, the only race the fleet held on the second day. The Italian is now just two points behind the flying Frenchman.
Racing will resume at 11:00 this morning, Thursday 26 April.

The Apostle Who Didn't Come to Dinner
He had been invited, of course – not that he needed an invitation! – and we had saved a place for him. But he had not come to dinner for the past week, and it was beginning to look as though he would not be coming to dinner again any time soon. He may just have been busy, of course; any apostle – and especially the chief apostle – must have so many responsibilities. But it was strange, nonetheless. Some were even beginning to wonder if they had offended him, or if fellowship with the Gentile converts was not a pressing issue just now. But surely, it couldn't be, as some had even suggested, that Peter named Cephas viewed us – the Gentiles – as somehow less than equal in the fellowship of Christ … could it?
In the second chapter of Galatians Paul tells the amazing story:
"When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face … For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray" (Galatians 2:11-13).
Paul's stand against Peter's hypocrisy must have been a legendary event in the early Church. Paul certainly did not skirt the issue:
"When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?" (Galatians 2:14).
Fortunately, Peter had the humility to accept Paul's reprimand (something worth thinking about in itself) and changed his behavior – fellowshipping again with the Gentile believers. Clearly, he learned a valuable lesson, one which lies behind the words written in one of his own epistles years later: "Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers…" (1 Peter 2:17).
But this story is given in the Bible for our admonition, not Peter's. Do we avoid certain people in the faith for any reason? Do we not fully accept other believers because of some difference in doctrine or belief? The apostle Peter made this mistake – are we above it?
We know that we are to "keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching …" (2 Thessalonians 3:6), but that does not apply to believers who are sincerely trying to do God's will. The writings of Paul as well as Luke in the book of Acts make it abundantly clear that Gentile believers were to be fully accepted as brothers and sisters in the faith – even though they may not have had complete doctrinal understanding (Acts 15:28).
This principle also applies directly to us, of course, in dealing with fellow believers of other doctrinal persuasions. We may not agree with each other on things that we consider to be important, but that does not preclude our fellowship and helping one another in the faith. Even though we may understand that principle intellectually, we must all ask ourselves whether there is some reason we are not showing up for dinner.

STRIVING TOGETHER
By John Teichert
"Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind, striving together for the faith of the gospel." Philippians 1:27.
In July of 1932, 20,000 World War I veterans gathered in Washington DC to demand the immediate payment of delayed bonuses from their service during the Great War. These veterans set up a community of tents and huts in two locations in our nation's capital, the first in a location on Pennsylvania Avenue to the east of the Capitol, and the second in an open space on the southeast side of the river at a place called Anacostia Flats.
On July 28th, 1932, General Douglas MacArthur accompanied by Major Dwight D. Eisenhower and Major George C. Patton assembled military forces to move against these veterans who were not much different than themselves in order to remove them from our nation's capital. They did so with great violence and strife. Soldiers on horseback and armed with sabers stabbed those in their way. Infantry forces armed with tear gas and torches dispersed the crowd and burned their lodgings to the ground. Tanks rolled against these unarmed veterans, crushing their remaining huts and shacks. It was a military rout, with current military members dismantling and destroying those heroes who had fought so valiantly only a generation before. It was a dark day for America when there were plenty of real enemies that should have been the focus of our forces.
Far too often, Christians move against other Christians who aren't much different than themselves, sometimes with great violence and strife. We metaphorically stab those in our way. We disperse the crowds and burn their lodgings to the ground. Our tanks roll against our unarmed veterans, crushing them. Each time this happens, it is a dark day for the cause of Christ when there are plenty of real enemies that should be the focus of our forces.
PLEASE PRAY FOR UNITY AMONG BIBLE-BELIEVING CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA IN ORDER TO PROPERLY OPPOSE OUR REAL ADVERSARY. We must strive together for the faith of the gospel!

Becoming One and Being Many
"Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many" (1 Corinthians 12:12-14).
In his letter to the church at Corinth, Paul uses a double analogy that is worth meditating upon. First, the apostle reminds us that by the means of the one Spirit that is given to us, we are made part of the one body of Jesus Christ (vs. 13a).
But Paul then extends the analogy of being baptized in the Spirit just as we are baptized in water to say that we are "all given the one Spirit to drink" (vs. 13b), just as we drink water. Paul frequently talks about baptism in his letters and uses other analogies such as that of the Israelites being completely baptized in the Red Sea by means of the water around them and the cloud (water vapor) above them (1 Corinthians 10:2). In 1 Corinthians 12, however, Paul extends the analogy in a unique manner by saying that after baptism, we are all given the Spirit to "drink."
Paul's words here are reminiscent of those of Jesus, of course, when he said "…Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink" (John 7:37). Notice also Paul's statement earlier in 1 Corinthians regarding the Israelites in the wilderness, that they "… drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ" (1 Corinthians 10:4).
So the overall analogy that Paul makes is that we are first baptized in the Spirit and then we drink the Spirit. To be baptized means that we enter into the water, and to drink means that we let the water enter us. We are surrounded by water on the outside in baptism, then filled on the inside as we "drink" the Spirit.
In saying this, Paul first stresses that we must never be content to stay at the point where we were baptized and received the initial deposit of the Spirit of God – we are then called to drink more and more of that Spirit till we are filled with it (Ephesians 5:18).
We drink the Spirit in a number of ways. Jesus said: "The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life" (John 6:63), and we drink as we study those words and make them part of us. We drink as we pray for the Spirit: "… If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" (Luke 11:13). We drink to the degree that we set our minds on the things of God as opposed to the things of this world: "Those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit" (Romans 8:5).
But there is a final aspect to what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12:12-14 that we should not overlook – it is what Paul says regarding the one body and many. Paul makes it clear that if we repent and are baptized, we receive a portion or deposit of the Spirit of God and in so doing we become part of the one body of Christ (vs. 13a) – we are the same as all other believers in this. But he then stresses that although we are all given the one Spirit to drink, "Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many" (vs. 14). We are one with and like all other believers in baptism, but to the different degrees we drink the Spirit, we are separate and unique.
Paul's message is a powerful one – through baptism we receive the Spirit and are granted inclusion in the one body of Christ. Our identity is lost in his. But it is to the degree that we then continue to seek and drink the Spirit that we become different – different parts within the same body, with different gifts and responsibilities. Paul's simple analogy teaches us that while we can rejoice in becoming part of the one body through baptism, we must never rest there. We must then continue to drink the Spirit. To the degree we do, we are a unique part of the body, having in that sense a unique relationship with God – and God may uniquely use us.
It's All in a Handshake
The custom of shaking hands is known in many parts of the world and is far older than most people realize. Archaeological artifacts and works of art depicting people shaking hands have been found dating back to as early as the ninth century B.C. (the Assyrian King Shalmaneser III sealing an alliance with a Babylonian ruler), and the practice may be much older. The custom was known in ancient Greece and Rome and may well be what is meant in the New Testament when the apostle Paul says that fellow disciples "gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship" (Galatians 2:9). Most researchers believe handshaking was not widespread in the Western world, however, till the 17th Century when Quakers seem to have popularized the simple clasping of hands as a better alternative to bowing when meeting someone.
But whatever the origins of the practice, shaking hands has been used as a way of greeting people, confirming agreements, sealing contracts and for many other things. In all these situations, however, handshaking is based on making a connection with another person. The simple act helps us relate to people and establish a rapport with them whether we are meeting them for the first time or we are greeting old friends.
Today, those who are particularly health conscious sometimes claim that shaking hands and other hand greetings such as "high fiving" tend to spread illnesses through the transfer of bacteria. Some of these people urge simple "fist bumping" as a "healthier alternative" greeting, and while this may help curb the spread of disease between sick people and healthcare workers, most of us continue to shake hands as people have done for centuries.
Other forms of greeting are used in various areas around the world, of course, and some were clearly in existence in biblical times. Paul advised the Christians in several congregations to "Greet one another with a holy kiss" (Romans 16:16, 1 Corinthians 16:20), and Peter likewise encouraged his readers to "Greet one another with the kiss of love" (1 Peter 5:14).
The point that we should take from this is that however we greet people – with handshakes, fist bumps, or "holy kisses," we should focus on the act of connecting with others. Peter and Paul were not advocating some religious ritual; they were simply stressing that we should greet others with Christian sincerity and love. So often our greeting of others can be a formality that is hardly noticed – like asking someone "How are you?" when we see them, and perhaps not even expecting or waiting for an answer to the question.
The principle of greeting one another with the kiss of love suggests that every Christian should put more into a handshake than simply clasping hands. Do our eyes meet with those we greet and do our eyes show our sincere interest in them? It may be a small thing, but research has shown that when we greet people for the first time, they form most of their impression of us in the first five seconds of meeting us. If we are truly desirous to let our light shine, we should remember this. But it is not a matter of just making an impression of interest and concern – a handshake may be the first and best opportunity we have to begin to show the Christian love we have for others.
Were the First Christians Communists?
Scripture in Focus: Acts 4:32–35
"All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had… And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need" (Acts 4:32–35).
Many have used these verses in Acts to try to prove that the early Christians followed a form of communism, but a careful reading of what the Bible says here shows that nothing could be further from the truth. We should note immediately that this seems to have been a temporary situation while the fledgling church was becoming established and before any formal mechanisms for helping the poor within the church were in place. Many of those who had come to Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Pentecost (Acts 2) and had been converted now were staying there and had as yet no means of support. So many shared what they had at that time. But we should also remember that once this temporary situation passed, there is no evidence that the early church continued in exactly the way described here.
Unlike communism as it is known in the modern world, the State was not in any way involved in this sharing; the Christians did not all share their property as a result of some decree or decision – rather "from time to time" people would decide to give, and only those people gave who wanted to. There was also no requirement to share, as Peter himself clearly tells us in the story of Ananias and Sapphira: "Ananias.…why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the [sale of your] lands? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? …You did not lie to men but to God!" (Acts 5:3–4). Finally, we should notice that the early Christians' goods were not equally divided among everyone, but were "distributed to anyone who had need" (Acts 4:35).
This is all very different from modern era communism in which the State forcibly redistributes all wealth – theoretically sharing it equally between everyone in the society. There is also a clear difference in attitude. As has been jokingly said, though not without some truth, communism operates on a principle of "What's yours is mine," whereas the early Christians operated with the attitude of "What's mine is yours."
We should also remember that there is no room for communism in the teachings of Jesus. Although he recommended a certain rich young ruler sell all he had and give to the poor (not distribute it among Jesus and his followers), this appears to have been an individual test. We see that Jesus had Judas look after his funds and these were used as were needed and, on occasion, some funds were given to the poor (John 13:29) rather than anything that was received being automatically equally distributed. Communism is, in fact, diametrically opposed to a great many of the teachings of Jesus, as we can see in the parable of the "talents" (Matthew 25:24–30) and the parable of the "minas" (Luke 19:12-27) where the servants are unequally rewarded, and elsewhere.
Global Christianity – Local Differences
A recent issue of Christianity Today carried a very interesting interview with researcher and author Dr. Philip Jenkins on Global Christianity. Dr. Jenkins was asked: "What are some differences in global attitudes to the nature of the Bible and the Old Testament?" Here, in this short excerpt, is part of his answer: "When you are in Europe or the United States, if you are dealing with ordinary, secular people, the Old Testament can be almost an embarrassment. 'We do not understand [it]. This is an ancient, primitive world. This is of no relevance to us.'
If you go to many parts of Africa there's the opposite problem – which is that people can be tempted to read the Old Testament, see it as so relevant, so immediate that they don't need anything else. The church in the Sudan, for example, tries very hard not to issue translations of the Book of Leviticus because the danger is the people will just read that and not want the New Testament, because Leviticus was so obviously written for their [kind of] society.
Think about that in terms of evangelism. If I am talking to an American or a European and I'm trying to explain a concept like atonement, that's a very strange idea. Blood sacrifice is strange and alien. But now imagine trying to spread that same message in a society in Africa where they're very used to the idea of animal sacrifice. They know the idea that blood pays the price of sin. All you have to get across is the idea that all these sacrifices are trivial. There is one sacrifice, which is Christ. They can understand that." You can read the whole interview here (Christianity Today: Mar 21, 2014, subscription required).
The article certainly makes one think about the many other differences in viewpoint that must apply to Christians in various cultures looking at the Bible from a primarily Old Testament perspective, or an almost wholly New Testament perspective. Moral of the story: being aware of this difference can help us in interacting and working with people of like mind – but different cultural perspectives – around the world.
Talking the Talk
In Christianity as in so many other areas, the importance of "walking the walk" rather than just "talking the talk" is self-evident. But sometimes we need to remember the value of the talk, too. The Book of Malachi contains a classic reminder of this:
"Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A book of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name" (Malachi 3:16).
Here, both walking and talking are shown as important. First we see it was those who "feared the Lord" who were getting God's attention. Although it is possible to fear God and not obey Him, that is obviously not the situation here. Proper fear of God, as the Bible clearly shows, does not involve cringing fear of punishment, but positive loving obedience – as was obviously the case where the names of these people were being written in a "scroll of remembrance" (and see Malachi 3:17-18). But beyond the obedience that was clearly involved here, we see that what had caught God's attention was the fact that these people talked with each other. The context of this verse indicates that this was not just talk regarding some topic of physical interest, but talk regarding aspects of the walk with God in which these people were engaged.
In its broadest sense, the talking with fellow believers mentioned in Malachi means not only talk which relates to biblical issues and principles in the abstract, but also talk which is based on the love of our neighbor – taking an active interest in the members of our spiritual family, finding out about them, getting to know their needs and encouraging them. That's the kind of talk which shows both love of God and of our neighbor. If these things are regularly a significant part of our conversation with those with whom we fellowship, then we can be confident that we are "talking the talk."
The title of Robert A. Heinlein's 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land is reportedly an allusion to Exodus 2:22 where Moses says "… I have been a stranger in a strange land," but the title also brings to mind the statement that Abraham sojourned "like a stranger in a foreign country" (Hebrews 11:9). Either way, it's a concept that doubly applies to the Christian walk. Once a person's outlook and way of life changes to God's way, two significant things may happen; and we too may feel like strangers in a strange land.
Read this week's article "Stranger in a Strange Land" to see what these changes are and how to deal with them – and the responsibility that those already established in the faith have in this regard. It's a topic that applies equally to those new in the faith and to those who are further along in the Way.
Friends Everywhere
One of the very encouraging things about running a website such as TacticalChristianity.org (or our sister site, LivingWithFaith.org) is seeing the web traffic – people coming to the site from all around the world.
Our site receives visits from people as geographically far apart, for example, as the United States and Russia, the United Kingdom and Pakistan, Dubai and Zanzibar. It's good to think that although we are so scattered around the world, we are friends in the faith. Many people may log on from areas where they have fellowship with Christian friends, others doubtless come to the site from areas where they feel alone as Christians and without that same feeling of friendship in the faith. If you are in this latter category, realize that we think about you and that you do have friends here and around this world. Although you may not see tangible connections any more than you can see the internet connections, they are there and you have friends at TacticalChristianity.org and among our readers everywhere.
We certainly welcome all of you coming to the site from distant areas – we think of you as our Russian friends, Zanzibar friends, or friends wherever you are, and want you to feel just as much a part of the site as our friends here in the United States. If you have suggestions for material that would be helpful to you in your own circumstances, don't hesitate to leave a comment at the end of this post. We'll be glad to provide needed subjects in the postings and articles as much as we are able. That's what friends are for!
