The sad case of a child death, a manslaughter charge and two careers in ruin should cause every doctor to at least pause, catch breath (ironically not so easy to do today) and consider their own circumstances and service. However, an age-old mindset leaves patients perhaps a little safer and yet the doctors responsible for their care more vulnerable than ever.
On that fateful day, now years ago, a by all accounts high-flying ST6 paediatrician with an unblemished record recommenced her last part of training after maternity leave. The appropriate term for what she re-entered might just be a warzone and warzones leave casualties. This case is littered with them, from six-year-old Jack, to his parents & relatives, to the ST6 Paediatrician, to the agency nurse and even the Trust.
Hadiza was left covering too many areas without remotely enough support. It's easy with hindsight to say that she should have said 'no' and 'forced' the Trust to address the issues it was facing that day in a manner that protected both staff and patients. She was an ST6. She should have gone to her consultant. Her consultant was not there. It's easy then to move the pointed finger through ninety degrees. Or is it?
We look for individuals who are responsible. The doctor and nurse at the point of care where the mistakes were made are the individuals where arguably culpability is easiest to evaluate, even if that evaluation seems grossly unfair when other factors are considered. The GMC have added to that list with the assertion that Hadiza should have gone to her consultant or service lead and their own subsequent actions would have a bearing on both theirs and her culpability from that point onwards. It gets very messy when we start to consider the increasing numbers of cases where juniors feel unable to raise concerns or where there is a poor mechanism for doing so.
Finally, with so many things to sort, the majority of consultants or service leads struggle to give 'emerging' problems the necessary attention until they are unignorable. However, at that point, it's you who is vulnerable too. The effects of all these are to virtually guarantee that the right action is only considered with hindsight. The hindsight trap is that everybody would have done it differently themselves. Except would they? In the moment? With all hell breaking loose?
It's very clear that the mindset in use by most consultants is best suited to an era long past. Patients expect perfection and yet care is more complex and overwhelmed, in a system that is so clearly under-resourced. Nurses are voting with their feet. Doctors are obviously more reluctant to and so, in staying, that mindset needs a big update.
If our mental systems need Thinking 2.0, then so do our clinical systems. Few doctors get to consultant level without training and exposure to Clinical Governance and safety systems of one sort or another. But when were they conceived and when were they revised? And did they ever place doctor safety at their heart, as opposed to a clear focus on patient safety?
The answers need careful thought because it's individual like Hadiza Bawa-Garba who are so clearly vulnerable, and her consultants too, individuals perhaps just like you? We need to redevelop clinical systems so they are fit for purpose today. They need to be sensitive but pragmatic. They need to balance the needs of the patients with the security of the individuals at the point of care.
What was my reaction at the time I first heard?
What have I actually done since?
Your answer to the second one probably tells you everything you need to know about potential vulnerability. Perhaps today is the next best time to start.
Very sobering, I have followed this tragedy since it unfolded in the news to the sorry end. I am appalled and saddened by the GMC action. WE need to take the airline industry approach to learning and improving a health care system which requires systemic emergency treatment to save it in some bits. We are approaching indications for ECT and cardioversion treatments !!
Couldn't agree more. The GMC were also in a difficult place too, constrained by rules they too are discovering aren't suited to the complexity of today. One would hope that if you discover this that you seek to change the rules as a starting point, not a reflection.
Hi Andrew. Many senior doctors look at the current situation and just get things done because if they don't then their patients suffer and in some cases may actually die. Forcing patients to use the 'system' as it stands in some clinical scenarios is giving them a terrible experience and putting their lives at risk. So I am dammed if I do and dammed if I don't. The GMC is flatly refusing to deal with reality. If every consultant in the country were to work to rule, to use pathways that simply don't work in order to protect themselves the NHS would collapse. I am facing a set of very uncomfortable choices about care that works and the awful care quality pathway that I should use for my sick patients. Sure the Trust is aware, but sorting things out needs investment and multiple job plan changes but leadership is a joke and I cannot bring myself to cause such so much suffering to so many patients and also fear the accusation that I have used my patients as pawns in a cynical resources game.
Think this is an all too common reality, very sadly. There is a perverse inequity too that pathway changes are often 'supported' on very suspect consultation, in which the public are pseudo-consulted on bland, bias statements and yet when professionals with 20+ years experience of caring for real patients, actually going through pathways, suggest the pathway is neither good service nor good quality, 'they' apparently are bias and self-interested. Apologies for the soap box!
We need to look after the profession more than ever, if we find that doctors feel they are unable to continue to work in such unsafe NHS institutions, the patients will suffer even more.
The old firm structure at least provided the junior doctor with a sense of belonging to a team and offered patients more continuity of care. The shift system for junior doctors can be very isolating.
Absolutely true. I think the other loss is that with shifts and rotas etc etc it is difficult to get the same sense of trust in your staff. This makes it much more difficult to differentiate between concerns that need addressing urgently versus 'noise' in an overly-busy system.
Does any one think that a safer clinical system can be built with presently available resources, with blame culture increasing, though not admitted explicitly, population expecting the undeliverable, the tabloids fanning the fire just to sell more, organisations still showing subtle signs of discriminations? As a retired consultant I feel the NHS has gone downhill in the last thirty odd years from one of exemplary service organisation with dedicated staff to an organisation with demoralised overworked staff driven by administrators who are interested only in ticking boxes to please the politicians.
Hi… I think that it is precisely because of the current system conditions that we must build safer clinical systems. I think what you are saying is can we expect to uphold safety under this level of pressure. To that, the answer is most certainly not everywhere, not all of the time. The Bawa-Garba case has brough to light that despite this, clinicians can no longer feel personally safe working in an unsafe system. For that reason, we need to re-define the way the system works from individual and service level up to ensure that at any given level of patient risk, staff are more protected providing they operate within the rules of that system. I think Bawa-Garba was simply doing what the majority of doctors would do in similar circumstances – trying her best to cope for the benefit of patients and the team. That wasn't safe for any of those, including herself.

1 Average responses vs. actual prices using compound interest The underestimation of compound interest doubtlessly slows down the investor in his search for the best performing instrument. If he were fully aware that small differences in return in the short-term bring about great differences in wealth in the long-term, he would no doubt busy himself to a greater extent to ensure that his money were put into the most lucrative products. He would surely partly abandon cash and bonds for investment in stocks in order to benefit from their superior returns.
2 percent. The difference is even greater for homeowners. Each additional unit in the price of real estate in the city of origin leads to an addition of 11 percent in the purchase of a residence in the new city. A family which left an expensive city (say, New York) to go to live in Arkansas would buy its new house at a price 22 percent greater than a family who moved to the same city in Arkansas but who came from a city which is two units less expensive than New York. The wealth of an owner-family moving into a less expensive city surely must, however, affect the increase attributable to this single point of reference.
C) Probability of attribution to a tennis player/roll of a die. The hypothesis put forward by Ayton and Fischer is thereby validated once again: individuals associate natural chance with frequent change-over but they think that human performances give longer trends. If individual performances on the financial markets are judged as not being the results of chance, then investors believe in the existence of hot periods and cold periods. If they manage their own affairs, then this view leads them to take more risk when they have posted several consecutive successes and less risk when they have had failures.

Clyne, Ma, Stroka Promoted
Biocomputational Engineering
Pictured left to right: Drs. Alisa Clyne, Lan Ma, and Kim Stroka (Ph.D. '11)
The Fischell Department of Bioengineering (BIOE) and the A. James Clark School of Engineering extends its congratulations to Alisa Morss Clyne, Lan Ma, and Kim Stroka, who were promoted to professor, senior lecturer, and associate professor, respectively. These three BIOE promotions are effective July 1, 2021.
Dr. Clyne joined BIOE as an associate professor and principal investigator of the Vascular Kinetics Laboratory in January 2019. Clyne and her lab study how the mechanical properties of blood vessels, particularly at the microscopic and molecular levels, change in response to elevated glucose, stress hormones, and other compounds present in blood. By understanding the ways in which biology influences how blood vessels form, function, and fail, Clyne's lab seeks to contribute to potential new therapies and approaches for treating disease.
Clyne also serves as BIOE's inaugural Associate Chair for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Clyne is eager to continue to expand research into larger projects, create new opportunities for learning and growth at all levels, and build a more equitable bioengineering environment as a professor.
"I am most proud of the new directions I am pursuing in research, education, and DEI that were made possible by my move to the University of Maryland two years ago," says Clyne. "In the laboratory, we are studying the mechanical and metabolic impacts of diet and exercise on cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, which was made possible by new lab members and collaborators at UMD. In the classroom, a long-time goal to teach a class in cardiovascular engineering has become a reality! Finally, I am honored to lead our department's efforts to become a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive home for students, staff, and faculty. I've learned an enormous amount in all these areas over the past two years."
Dr. Lan Ma joined BIOE as a lecturer in 2016.
"Laying a solid quantitative foundation in the training of our next-generation bioengineers is becoming unprecedentedly critical, as it has been appreciated that quantitative approach plays an important role in the state of art and future perspectives of biology and life sciences," explains Ma. Over the past five years, she has focused on teaching undergraduate math and computation-heavy courses and strengthening students' quantitative skills. "It's so encouraging to receive acknowledgements from students saying how much they enjoyed taking my courses, and that they learned a lot of valuable quantitative knowledge and extensions from previous math courses, or built strong programming skills," she says.
This fall, she will lead the new B.S. in Biocomputational Engineering program as its assistant director at the Universities at Shady Grove campus.
"I am excited about embarking on the meaningful yet challenging endeavor to prepare bioengineers for career paths in the blooming field of biological data science," explains Ma. "It is an honor to contribute my expertise in quantitative biology to the exciting development of the Fischell Department of Bioengineering. I look forward to engaging more undergraduate students to study at the interface of biotechnology, mathematics, computer programming and data science, and helping them grow into biocomputational engineers who are capable of performing transformative work in the new era of biomedicine and health care driven by cross-disciplinary technologies."
Dr. Stroka first joined BIOE as a Ph.D. student in 2006, the department's year of establishment.
In January 2015, the alumna returned to the department, where she began her term as assistant professor and principal investigator of the Cell and Microenvironment Engineering Lab.
The Stroka lab's research focuses on understanding the interplay between mechanical and biochemical cues from the cellular microenvironment on cellular behavior during normal homeostasis, progression of diseases, and therapeutic treatments. Stroka and lab members engineer cells and their microenvironment in order to create model systems that allow them to systematically understand cellular and tissue mechanobiology in the context of health and disease.
"It has been an honor to serve as a faculty member in the Fischell Department of Bioengineering over the past 6 years," says Stroka. "The community of faculty, staff, and students is stellar, and this journey so far has been really fun. A special thank you goes to all the graduate and undergraduate students who have conducted outstanding research in my lab and helped drive my lab's vision forward, along with the students in my classes who inspired me in so many ways. I am also incredibly grateful for the opportunity to take this academic adventure with my family - including my husband, Tom, and three little daughters, Gabriella, Adelaide, and Elanna - who frequently remind me that while the big milestones (like a promotion) are certainly exciting, the most joy is found in the smaller steps taken and challenges embraced along the way."
Since Stroka's appointment to BIOE faculty, she has received the University of Maryland Research and Scholarship Award, Maryland Academy of Sciences Outstanding Young Scientist Award, and Faculty Teaching Award, and been honored as a Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Young Innovator. Most recently, she has been recognized with the NSF CAREER Award, Philip Merrill Faculty Mentor Award and E. Robert Kent Teaching Award for Junior Faculty.
Dr. Stroka is currently director of the BIOE Honors Program, co-director of the BIOE REU site, and co-director of the NCI/UMD Partnership for Integrated Cancer Research. She is also organizing NanoDay 2022, along with the Maryland NanoCenter.
In addition to research, Dr. Stroka is passionate about mentorship and outreach, both within the University and in the surrounding community. Stroka and members of her laboratory group have led demonstrations and research and career talks for elementary school students from underrepresented minority groups, female middle and high school students, breast cancer patient advocates, and adults age 50+. Stroka's NSF CAREER Award allowed her to develop new resources for outreach to rural high schools, research skills training workshops for primarily undergraduate institutions and community colleges, and a new podcast geared towards early career scientists and built from interviews with a diverse set of scientists and engineers.
"Drs. Clyne, Ma, and Stroka have made enormous contributions to our department and the field of bioengineering," says Fischell Family Distinguished Professor and BIOE Chair John Fisher. "Their commitment to the advancement of human health is matched by their commitment to our students. We are tremendously proud of these faculty members' outstanding research and dedication to the evolution of our program – particularly in diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, renewed focus on grant opportunities for students and the growth of our NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates program, and expansion of our curriculum."

Letter To The Editor: Thought Point Of Planned Parenthood Was To Prevent Abortions
Submitted by Carol A. Clark
By TERRY GOLDMAN
I'm not following Krohn: I thought the point of Planned Parenthood was to prevent abortions by helping to prevent unwanted pregnancies. If some group has a disproportionate rate of abortions, relatively more effort from Planned Parenthood is needed, not less.
Krohn seems to think that Sanger's concern for minimizing the burdens on a then-poor society translate today into an effort to promote abortions.
However, while now there seems to be an almost universal agreement that abortion is the worst method of birth control, without it being available, the individual freedom to decide is lost. That's un-American until some dividing line is crossed. My impression is that Planned Parenthood works to keep such decisions as far in advance of the time of that conundrum as possible.

Neurodegenerative diseases have become a "hot" topic in recent years. A major factor for this is that as life expectancy of the population in developed countries increases, so does the probability of developing neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), to name the two most well-known. In many cases, however, neurological and mental diseases are poorly understood. In particular, there is a lack of specific biomarkers which would allow early unambiguous identification of a neurodegenerative disease, distinguishing between e.g. AD; PD; PD with dementia; and Dementia with Lewy bodies, or indicating therapeutic effects. Ultimately, this complicates the search for effective treatments. Thus, there is a high demand for preclinical work to elucidate underlying disease mechanisms and pave the way for disease management.
In terms of biomarker research, hope has been set on small molecules that participate in metabolism, since they provide a closer link between cellular mechanisms (with genetic as well as environmental inputs) and the disease phenotype. More specifically, it is expected that not one but a combination of several metabolites may serve as an indicator for disease onset and progression, given that neurodegenerative diseases, whilst often described as "idiopathic", are understood to arise from complex pathologies expressing themselves with a broad spectrum of phenotypes. Therefore, non-targeted metabolic profiling appears to offer great potential for biomarker discovery in this area.
One of the major technical platforms for non-targeted metabolic profiling is high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a technique that is also available for the non-invasive application in vivo. Hence, in theory, biomarker discovery research using NMR spectroscopy based metabolomics provides a promising means for translation from in vitro/ex vivo research to eventual clinical use. This review will therefore discuss the potential for NMR spectroscopy based metabolomics to be applied to biomarker discovery in the field of neurodegenerative disease.

Иоганн Альбрехт Бенгель (; , Винненден — , ) — немецкий лютеранский библеист и теолог, основоположник текстологии Нового Завета.

Впервые предпринял попытку сгруппировать рукописи Нового Завета в начале XVIII века. Начал развивать методологию текстологического исследования.

Бенгель выделил две большие группы («народы») рукописей: «азиатскую» (включающую рукописи более позднего времени, происходившие из Константинополя и близлежащих районов) и «африканскую» (в которую вошли рукописи двух подгрупп, представленных Александрийским кодексом и старолатинским текстом). Именно этот аспект исследований Бенгеля получил развитие в трудах его последователей, разрабатывавших концепции учёного в XVIII и XIX веке.

Биография

Отец учёного умер в 1693 году, и Бенгеля обучал друг, учитель в одной из гимназий Штутгарта. В 1703 году Бенгель покинул Штутгарт и поступил в Тюбингенский университет студентом лютеранской богословской семинарии. Свободное время он посвящал внимательному изучению трудов Аристотеля и Спинозы, а также богословских работ Филипа Шпенера, Иоганна Арндта () и Августа Франке. Бенгель настолько хорошо знал метафизику Спинозы, что один из профессоров выбрал его для подготовки материалов трактата De Spinosismo, который позднее был опубликован.

После окончания университета Бенгель посвятил себя богословию. Бенгель был близок к кругам немецких пиетистов, стремившихся возродить духовную жизнь лютеранства;  знакомясь с методами изучения Библии, он не считался с конфессиональными границами. Уже в это время его мучили религиозные сомнения; в свете его позднейших работ интересно то, что одной из причин его сомнений была сложность с выбором первоначального чтения в некоторых пассажах греческого Нового Завета. В 1707 году Бенгель был рукоположен и назначен на приход в Метцингене. В следующем году он был вызван в Тюбинген для занятия должности учителя богословия. Здесь он оставался до 1713 года, и был назначен главой семинарии, открытой в Денкендорфе в качестве подготовительной школы богословского факультета.

Перед вступлением в свою новую должность Бенгель путешествовал по Германии, объехав большую часть страны, изучая различные образовательные системы и посещая как иезуитские, так и лютеранские и реформатские семинарии. Помимо других мест он был в Хайдельберге и Галле, в Хайдельберге его внимание привлёк труд Герхарда фон Маастрихта, посвященный критике библейского канона, а в Галле — работе Anacrisis ad Apocalypsin Кампеиуса Витринга (). В некоторых работах Бенгеля говорится о влиянии, которое эти работы оказали на богословие Бенгеля. Двадцать восемь лет Бенгель был начальником (Klosterpraeceptor) монастырской школы в Денкендорфе, семинарии для кандидатов в священство, устроенной в бывшем монастыре каноников ордена Гроба Господня.

Основные работы Бенгеля были написаны им в период педагогической деятельности, денкендорфский период. В 1741 году он был назначен «прелатом» (Генеральным суперинтендантом) в Хербрехтинген (Баден-Вюртемберг), где и оставался до 1749 года, когда получил должность советника консистории и прелата в Альпирсбахе, с резиденцией в Штутгарте. Он посвятил себя обязанностям члена консистории. Тогда же Бенгель приобрел популярность своими беседами о Библии с народом. Церковные суды в то время занимал сложный вопрос: как следовало относится к тем, кто отделился от церкви, и насколько терпимо следовало относиться к собраниям, целью которых было религиозное образование, проводимым в частных домах. Светские власти (герцог Вюртембергский был римо-католиком) склонялись к репрессивным мерам, в то время как члены консистории, признавая положительный эффект этих встреч, были склонны разрешить их. Бенгель был на стороне членов консистории. В 1751 году он получил степень доктора богословия () в Тюбингенском университете.

Восемнадцать лет длилось противостояние Бенгеля и Николая-Людвига, графа Цинцендорфа, лидера моравских братьев в Хернхуте, Саксонии. Результатом был раскол между моравскими братьями и строгим пиетизмом, характерным для Вюртемберга, представителем которого был Бенгель. Бенгель своим догматическим учением, превращавшим божественный план спасения в систему, противостоял динамическим, экуменическим, миссионерским усилиям Цинцендорфа, равнодушного к догматическим и конфессиональным разделениям. Бенгель пытался манипулировать историческими календарями в хилиастической попытке предсказать время конца света, а Циннцендорф назвал его попытки суеверным «толкованием знаков».

Бенгеля причисляют к учёным-библеистам, поскольку он создал критическое издание Нового Завета и экзегетический комментарий на Новый Завет Gnomon.

Греческий Новый Завет

Тщательно изучив множество изданий и рукописей Библии, Бенгель пришёл к выводу, что общепринятый текст (Textus Receptus) необходимо выверить, учитывая разночтения и варианты. Он положил начало этой работе, издав Новый Завет с критическим аппаратом, который надолго стал классическим образцом текстуальной критики.

Критическое издание греческого Нового Завета, подготовленное Бенгелем, вышло в свет в 1734 году в Тюбингене, а также в том же году в Штутгарте, однако без критического аппарата. Уже в 1725 году в дополнение к изданию Chrysostoms De Sacerdotioон написал Prodromus Novi Testamenti Graeci recte cauteque adornandi, где говорилось о принципах, на которых должно было основываться его издание Нового Завета. Подготавливая издание, Бенгель сделал коллации более 20 рукописей (ни одна из них не признаётся сейчас сколько-нибудь важной), коллации 12 рукописей были сделаны им лично. Составляя базовый текст своего издания, Бенгель ограничил себя условием — в базовом тексте могли быть только такие чтения, которые уже были использованы в одном из уже бывших печатных изданий греческого Нового Завета. От этого условия он отступил только в Апокалипсисе, текст которого сильно отличался в различных изданиях, и Бенгель счёл возможным использовать чтения из манускриптов. Внизу страницы были расположены разночтения, различную степень важности которых Бенгель обозначил первыми пятью буквами греческого алфавита: α обозначало чтение, которое Бенгель считал первоначальным, хотя и он и не решился поместить это чтение в основной текст; β — чтение, которое по мнению Бенгеля было лучшим, чем в тексте; γ — равноценное с чтением в базовом тексте; δ — чтение худшее, чем в тексте. Текст был поделён на параграфы, хотя во внутренних ссылках использовалась деление на главы Стефануса.

За текстом следовал критический аппарат, первую половину которого составляло введение в критику Нового Завета, в 34 параграфе которого он объяснял своё знаменитое правило Proclivi scriptioni praestat ardua (более сложное чтение должно предпочитаться более простому), ставшее одном из основных законов текстологии. Вторую часть критического аппарата составлял разбор различных чтений, здесь Бенгель предоставлял читателю материал как в пользу, так и против того или иного чтения, позволяя составить собственное мнения о тексте. Бенгель был первым, кто высказал и начал развивать теорию «семей», или типов рукописей.

Исследования новозаветных рукописей привели Бенгеля к заключению, что между свидетелями греческого Нового Завета: рукописями, переводами и произведениями церковных писателей существует определённое сходство; например, если определённое чтение было в одной из рукописей, то оно, как правило, находилось и в других рукописях того же класса; это сходство должно было говорить об общем происхождении всех свидетелей текста, имеющих общее чтение. Сперва Бенгель хотел разделить все рукописи на три группы, но затем выделил две группы источников: африканскую (более древние рукописи) и азиатскую (менее древние рукописи), которой приписывалось второстепенное значение. Теорию развил Иоганн Землер, а затем разработал Иоганн Грисбах

Текстологические изыскания Бенгеля много критиковались по самым различным причинам. Так же как Бриану Вальтону и Джону Миллу, ему пришлось столкнуться с теми, что богодухновенность слова Божьего ставилась под сомнение теми, кто пытался указать на различную степень достоверности чтений в различных рукописях. Иоганн Веттштайн, с другой стороны, обвинял его в недостаточно свободном использовании критических материалов. В ответ Бенгель написал Защиту греческого текста Нового Завета (1736), содержавшую ответ оппонентам, в особенности Веттштайну. Издание Бенгеля длительное время было авторитетным среди учёных-библеистов и часто переиздавалось. Расширенное издание критического издания было издано Филипом Дэвидом Борком () в 1763 году.

Gnomon Novi Testamenti

Другой труд Бенгеля, на котором основана его известность как экзегета, это Gnomon Novi Testamenti, или «Экзегетические замечания к Новому Завету», опубликованные в 1742 году. Эта книга — плод двадцатилетнего труда учёного, поражает читателя краткостью выражения мысли, как про неё говорили, «здесь в одной строчке больше смысла, чем в страницах текста других авторов». Бенгель скромно озаглавил книгу «Gnomon», или «индекс», и его задачей было скорее подвести читателя к самостоятельному постижению смысла новозаветного текста, чем избавить читателя от труда постижения смысла текста. Принципом толкования было — не привносить ничего в Писание, но добыть из текста все возможные смыслы, при этом строго придерживаясь грамматических и исторических правил, не размываемых соображениями догматики, и не использовать символических толкований. Бенгель надеялся, что его книга разбудит интерес к исследованиям Нового Завета, и эти надежды оправдались. Книга много раз переиздавалась, была переведена с латинского языка на немецкий и английский, и долгое время использовалась толкователями — Джон Уэсли, один из основателей методизма, использовал сочинение Бенгеля при составлении 'Expository Notes upon the New Testament (1755).

Кроме описанных выше двух работ, Бенгель был автором и редактором многочисленных трудов по классической филологии, патристике, экклезиологии, толкованию. Наиболее значительны — Ordo Temporum, о хронологии Писания, в которую также вошли спекуляции Бенгеля на тему Конца света, и Exposition of the Apocalypse, бывшая очень популярной в Германии и переведённая на несколько языков. Почти 200 лет спустя герои Германа Гессе в книге "Игра в бисер" обсуждают работы Бенгеля.

 Значение трудов

Бенгель — один из основоположников библейской текстуальной критики и палеографии нового времени.

Как протестант Бенгель исходил из мысли, что святость Писания вытекает из него самого. Хотя его критические труды и вызывали недоверие у многих протестантов и католиков, он искренне был убежден, что в Библии людям дано Слово Божье. «Ничего не вноси в Писание, — говорил он, — но все черпай из него и ничего не упускай из того, что в нем заключается». Ради этого принципа Бенгель настаивал на строгом соблюдении одного из правил герменевтики — исследуя текст, не ограничиваться отрывками и цитатами, а брать его в целостном контексте.

Бенгель первым высказал мысль, что текстуальные разночтения не затрагивают вероучительного содержания Библии. В Gnomon Novi Testamenti он применил метод объяснения Священного Писания через само Писание, который проложил путь библейскому богословию как самостоятельной дисциплине.

Влияние имели попытки Бенгеля оперировать библейскими цифрами и даже предсказать конец мира на основе Откровения. Подобные домыслы относятся к тому, что Гарнак назвал «библейской алхимией».

Camping In Joshua Tree (When To Go & The Best Campgrounds 2022)
If you're planning an overnight trip to Joshua Tree National Park and wondering where to camp, then you've come to the right place. There are plenty of amazing campgrounds in Joshua Tree but, like most destinations, they're not one size fits all.
Located in south central California, just a few hours from both Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Joshua Tree National Park is famed for its unique "trees" of the same name, incredible hiking trails, dark sky areas, and interesting rock formations.
People tend to come here to spend time in nature as a refuge from the city, but it's truly a paradise whether you're a hiker, photographer, or simply someone craving a break in the Mojave Desert.
This must-read guide to camping in Joshua tree includes how to get there, when to go, the best campsites, and more!
Camping In Joshua Tree (When To Go & The Best Campgrounds)
How to Get To Joshua Tree
To get to Joshua Tree National Park, you'll first have to get to a nearby major city. Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is the closest airport at about 50 miles away, while Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is 143 miles and Las Vegas International Airport (LAS) is 182 miles.
Then, once you land in one of these cities, you'll have to rent a car. While there is some public transportation in the area, it's quite limited and the park itself doesn't have a shuttle service. I recommend renting a car right at the airport and then traveling to Joshua Tree via Interstate 10 or California Highway 62.

How Many Days Do I Need in Joshua Tree?
While you can probably see Joshua Tree National Park's highlights in a day, if you want to go hiking or explore more of the off-road sites, then I'd recommend at least 2-3 days.
Of course, if you're coming here for a mental vacation in the desert, then there's no time limit to how long you should stay in Joshua Tree.

When to Camp in Joshua Tree
The best time to camp in Joshua Tree is during the shoulder seasons — March through May and September through November. Summers are super hot and, unless you have electricity and bring a heater, winter can be a tad chilly.
That said, November through May is the busiest time of year at Joshua Tree, so definitely book your campsite ahead if you want to secure a spot.
Can You Camp in Joshua Tree Without a Reservation?
Most of Joshua Tree National Park's 500 campsites are available to book by reservation, which you can do online up to 6 months ahead of time at recreation.gov. Campsites in some areas tend to sell out though, so I do recommend booking ahead of time. Plus, much of the park does not have cell service, so don't plan to book on the fly.
Campgrounds at Joshua Tree that don't require a reservation are Hidden Valley, Belle, and White Tank. These are first-come, first-served, and you can pay upon entry. Just keep in mind that these sites tend to be jam-packed during the busy season, especially during weekends, so plan to get there as early in the week as possible.
For more information, visit nps.gov.
Which Campground is Best in Joshua Tree?
Though there are hotels and other accommodations in the surrounding areas, if you want to stay overnight in the park itself, then you'll have to book a campsite. Thankfully, there are 9 awesome campgrounds in the park to choose from — my favorites are Hidden Valley, Indian Cove, and Jumbo Rocks (although they do tend to book up fast).
Of course, which campground you choose depends on what you're looking for. Here's what to expect from each of them.

Best Joshua Tree Campgrounds
Jumbo Rocks Campground
With 124 campsites, Jumbo Rocks Campground is the largest camping area at Joshua Tree. The scenery here is excellent, with large boulders that you can climb, and the famous Skull Rock is just a short hike away. While there are picnic tables, fire rings, toilets, and trash and recycling pickup at this location, there is no electricity or potable water.
Hidden Valley Campground
A first-come, first-served location, Hidden Valley Campground is open year-round and features 44 sites with pit toilets but no potable water. There are some RV slots here, provided your vehicle doesn't exceed 25 feet, and fees must be paid at the entrance station upon arrival.
This is an extremely popular campground, given that it's centrally located and in easy reach of most sites, so if you travel during the busy season, then you'll have to come at the right time to get a site.

White Tank Campground
One of the smallest campgrounds in Joshua Tree, White Tank is home to just 15 sites. It's perfect if you're looking for a peaceful escape without too many people around, and it's located directly next to Arch Rock Nature Trail. Sites here are first-come-first-served and don't provide electrical hookups or water.
Sheep Pass Campground
Home to six group campsites, Sheep Pass Campground should be on your radar if you're accommodating a group of between 10 and 60 people. Though the campground has vault toilets and trash pickup, it does not have electricity or potable water.

Belle Campground
Featuring 18 campsites, Belle Campground is open from October through May and is the place to be if you're looking for another quiet retreat. It's fairly close to both Pinto Basin and the Sonoran Desert area of the park and provides pit toilets, campfire rings, and picnic tables. It doesn't have potable water or electricity.
Ryan Campground
With 31 campsites close to the California Riding & Hiking Trail, Ryan Campground tends to fill up fast. Booking here requires a reservation in advance but features fire pits, vault toilets, and picnic tables. The sites here are non electric and don't have potable water.
Indian Cove Campground
Close to some great rock formations, Indian Cove Campground is located away from many of the park's main sites but is the place to be if you're a rock climber or are just interested in being away from crowds. The campground features 101 campsites and vault toilets, but no potable water.
Cottonwood Campground
Home to 62 campsites in the Sonoran Desert, Cottonwood Campground may be away from the Joshua Trees but is home to flush toilets and potable water. The campground is also great for easy access to Mastodon Peak, Los Palms Oasis, and Cottonwood Visitor Center.
Black Rock Canyon Campground
Located on the western side of the park, Black Rock Canyon Campground is away from the park's main sites but features 99 sites, flushing toilets, and easy access to plenty of hikes. The campground also has cell phone reception and WiFi.

Best Campgrounds Near Joshua Tree National Park
If you get to Joshua Tree and find that all the sites are full, then don't sweat it — there are some more options nearby!
BLM Camping
BLM (Bureau of Land Management) camping is free-range camping on designated pieces of land. Though these sites don't have any amenities or rangers, they're great if you are self-sufficient and want to go off-grid. You can find BLM Camping at BLM.gov, and remember to pack all your trash out!
Joshua Tree Lake RV & Campground
Located at 2601 Sunfair Road in the Joshua Tree municipality, Joshua Tree Lake RV & Campground is great whether you're in an RV or tent. Just 30 minutes from the park, the campground features potable water, firepits, and showers.
Twentynine Palms RV Resort
A campground that also has cottages, Twentynine Palms RV Resort is a higher-end location with electrical hookups, a gym, pool, game room, bathrooms, and showers.

Best Hikes in Joshua Tree National Park
Cap Rock
Located near Twentynine Palms, The Cap Rock Nature Trail is a 0.6 mile loop that will take you through woodlands and wildflowers and over to towering rock formations. For those familiar with the story, this is also where you'll find Gram Parsons' memorial. With just 20 feet elevation gain, this trail is rated as easy.
Black Rock Canyon and Panorama Loop
A 6.5-mile heavily-trafficked trail, the Black Rock Canyon and Panorama Loop will give you one of the best views in the park. The hike begins at the the Black Rock Canyon Campground visitors center, is ranked as moderate, and is great for wildflower viewing. Hot Tip: Do this hike clockwise for an easier trek back to the trailhead.
Fortynine Palms Oasis Trail
One of the most popular trails in the park, the Fortynine Palms Oasis Trail is a 3.1-mile out-and-back trail that has 700 feet of elevation and is rated as moderate. The trail features one of the most unique landscapes in the park given that it leads you right towards a gorgeous palm fan oasis.
Cholla Cactus Trail
Though the park is known for its Joshua Trees, chances are you've seen photos of the Cholla Cactuses that also call it home. These fuzzy cacti are best found on the Cholla Cactus Trail, a 0.25-mile trail rated as easy. Though the trail will only take you a few minutes to traverse, this area is super popular for photography – just don't touch the cacti, they're very prickly.
Barker Dam
A trail known for its water source (a rarity in the desert), Barker Dam is a 1-mile loop that is famed for its sunsets and bighorn sheep spotting. With just 50-feet of elevation, this trail is rated as easy and will take you about an hour to finish.

What to Pack for Camping in Joshua Tree
Camping Supplies: Camping in Joshua Tree means loading up with quality camping gear. In particular, every trip requires a durable tent, camp chair, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, lightweight backpack, and hammock (only hang hammocks in designated areas, and not on Joshua Trees). I also recommend bringing headlamps and lanterns for walking around at night.
Clothing: Winters in Joshua Tree tend to range from moderately warm to chilly, so you'll want to pack appropriately for the season. However, regardless of month, the best way to pack is to bring light layers that you can stack them depending on the temperature. You'll want some moisture-wicking shirts, shorts, and hiking pants.
Shoes: Grippy closed-toe hiking shoes are a must in Joshua Tree to easily traverse the trail and avoid any creepy crawlies.
Toiletries: Sunscreen, bug spray, after bite, deodorant, wet wipes, dry shampoo, and hand sanitizer are essentials for Joshua Tree camping.
Cooking Gear: A camp stove and cooking set are musts for making your own food in Joshua Tree.
Water: Because potable water isn't found at every campsite in Joshua Tree, you're going to want to bring enough to last you throughout your camping trip. I recommend bringing a refillable jug, hydration bladder, and water bottle.
Electronics: California camping trips require a portable power bank, a kindle, and a GoPro.
Plan Your Trip to Joshua Tree
After traveling consistently for over 10 years, we've come to trust and rely on a few websites to help us find the best deals on flights and accommodation.

This content is for guidance and educational purposes only and is generic in nature. I do not offer personal financial advice so please seek independent financial advice from an authorised and regulated professional adviser if you need help with your own situation.
TAX FREE SAVINGS: If you are aged 18+ you can invest up to £20,000 into cash, fixed income, equities and alternative investments through Individual Savings Accounts. If you are aged 18-40 and never owned a property before, you can invest up to £4,000 into a Lifetime ISA. If you are aged 16+ and never owned a property before you can invest up to £1,200 followed by up to £200 per month for five years into a Help to Buy ISA. Anyone under 18 can have up to £4,260 per tax year invested in a Junior ISA in cash or stocks and shares.
PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS: Additional pension contributions attract tax relief and potentially also reduce or avoid the child benefit tax charge (if you earn over £50,000) and the ability to reclaim personal income tax allowance (if you earn over £100,000). If you are a non-earner/non-taxpayer you can contribute up to £2,880 to a personal pension and will get a bonus of up to £720. You can utilise carry forward of unused pension annual allowance from 2015/16 of up to £40,000 if you've already used your £40,000 2018/19 annual allowance.
TAX FREE CAPITAL GAINS: You can crystalise capital gains (CGT) of up to £11,700, tax-free within your annual CGT exemption allowance.
DEFERING CAPITAL GAINS TAX: If you defer crystalising capital gains in excess of your tax-free amount (£11,700) until after 5th April 2019, the tax wil be due on 31st January 2021, rather than 31st January 2020. Other ways of reducing CGT are on this website.
TOPPING UP STATE PENSION: If you have gaps in your national insurance contributions and as a result your State pension is less than the maximum, you can make additional contributions to plug the gap. The cost of this rises from 6th April 2019 so make the contributions before then. This website gives more details .
REDUCE INCOME TAX: You can give up (sacrifice) salary or a future bonus in return for a higher pension contribution and avoid PAYE tax otherwise due. Your employer might also be prepared to add to the contribution the amount they will save in employer's national insurance contributions (13.8% of the sacrificed salary).
TAX FREE SAVINGS: Although not tax year sensitive, you might be able to utilise Save As You Earn (SAYE) and other share incentive schemes through your employer if provided. This website gives more details.
SAVINGS ALLOWANCE: If you close an annual interest savings account before 6th April 2019, the accrued interest will be added to the account and be assessed against your annual tax-free savings allowance of £1,000 (basic rate taxpayer) or £500 (higher rate taxpayers).
CHARITABLE GIFTS: If you make a gift of cash or an asset (like shares or investment funds) to a registered charity, you can claim higher rate relief if you are a 40 or 45% taxpayer and possibly reclaim lost personal income tax allowance or cause taxable capital gains to be taxed at 10/18 rather than 20/28%. If you are employed your employer might operate a payroll giving scheme which allows charitable donations to be made from your pre-taxed income.
ANNUAL GIFTS: Every person is allowed to make an annual gift of up to £3,000 to any one person (and £3,000 for the previous year if not already done). They can also give away £250 to as many people as they wish (but not the same person who has received a £3,000 gift) and this will be immediately exempt for inheritance tax purposes. It might be worth mentioning this to older wealthy relatives, in case they are minded to make a gift to you!
I hope these pointers are helpful but do remember to take professional advice if approprate. In any case remember, financial planning is for life, not just the tax year.

YEIDA is Waiting for the nod of Government for Jewar Airport
The Union Ministry of Civil Aviation will be approached by Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) to set up an international airport in the Jewar region. Dr. Prabhat Kumar,
the Chairman of YEIDA, depicted this Friday
that proposal for the construction of the international airport will be sent soon to the civil aviation ministry very soon.
The committee for the evaluation of the plan is set under the chairmanship of the secretary of civil aviation. Once the committee gives an affirmative sign, the proposal will be moved to the Government of India for the further approval and the process of land acquisition will be initiated.
As per Kumar, YEIDA is waiting for the proposal to be sanctioned by the government and then the land acquisition process will be initiated after the surveying of the area. The authority has already started to survey the site and checking the feasibility of the project. The site surveying report is submitted and Kumar is hoping to get the clearance soon enough.
As per the narration of the proposal by Kumar to the news media, YEIDA has already met with the Civil Aviation Secretary regarding the site surveying report and clearance results. The next step will be initiated when the authority gets the surveying result. The Obstacle Limitation Survey (OLS) report will be released very soon. YEIDA is expecting the result by 30th May and then will start to move with the proposal to the respective authorities for the approval of the new Jewar Airport projects.
Kumar has expressed that the authority is planning to move in an aggressive way to develop the respective international airport. Once the feasibility report is in the hand, the authority will start the land acquisition process of 5000 hectares. The plan will be developed in such a way that the airport can handle passenger traffic for upcoming 50 to 100 years.

Street Fighter V/Controls and Terminology
1.1 Motion Notation
2 Japan Vs. USA Naming
3 Hit/Block Stun/Stop
4.1 Move Stages
Here is a diagram of the controls in Street Fighter V. The directions have been labeled as if your character is on the left side facing right. If you switch positions and end up on the right facing left, Towards becomes Back, Offensive Crouch becomes Defensive Crouch, etc. The buttons remain the same.
Below the text diagrams are the standard PlayStation 4 pad as well as the MadCatz SFV TE2 joystick as well as diagrams showing the corresponding directions and the default button placements for each controller. The buttons can be re-assigned via in-game menus, however, to suit your own comfort with where the buttons are.
CONTROLLER DIRECTIONS              |               BUTTONS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^              |               ^^^^^^^
Up                         |               PUNCHES

Back o ----- o ----- o Towards         |
Neutral                      |        o         o         o
/  |  \                      |      Light     Medium    Hard
Defensive o   |   o Offensive           |      Kick      Kick      Kick
Crouch        o        Crouch           |
Down                        |                KICKS
(or Crouch)                    |
The buttons have other names they are often referred to. In the arcade days of Street Fighter, the buttons were often referred to by a "name" as opposed to their basic descriptions. So oftentimes, you will hear commentators or read articles or posts about the attacks using different names. Here are corresponding nicknames you will commonly see:
Name (Modern Name)
Nickname (Classic Name)
Light Punch
Medium Punch
Hard Punch
Light Kick
Medium Kick
Hard Kick
One thing to note is that Medium Kick used to be known as "Forward", which caused a lot of confusion when the direction on the controller was also called "Forward". This is why, for the most part, many people refer to the direction your character is facing as "Towards" instead of "Forward" to avoid that confusion.
Motion Notation
Also, there are some motions for the joystick that will be referred to by the common nicknames used for them. Here's a listing of the ones that may be most commonly used in this guide:
QCF (Quarter Circle Forward):
Down, Down/Towards, Towards
QCB (Quarter Circle Back):
Down, Down/Back, Back
DP (Dragon Punch):
Towards, Down, Down/Towards
RDP (Reverse Dragon Punch):
Back, Down, Down/Back
HCF (Half Circle Forward):
Back, Down/Back, Down, Down/Towards, Towards
HCB (Half Circle Back):
Towards, Down/Towards, Down, Down/Back, Back

As with the buttons, these motions have very classic nicknames as well. Some of them are named after the way moves originally were performed in Street Fighter II: World Warrior. These same moves have had their motions changed, so the nicknames aren't even accurate anymore. However, many of the veteran players will still refer to the motions with the original nicknames, so again, it may help to be aware of the nicknames shown here:
QCF Motion
Fireball Motion
QCB Motion
Spin Kick Motion
DP Motion
Dragon Punch Motion
Reverse Dragon Punch Motion

Japan Vs. USA Naming
Many Street Fighter fans are already aware of this, but the names of the three of the characters are actually switched around when you are looking at the game from the U.S. or the game from Japan. When Street Fighter II was first originally released, there were four boss characters: the boxer from the U.S., the Spaniard with the mask and claw, the Muay Thai kickboxer, and the evil dictator with the hat from Thailand. In America, we know these characters as Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and M. Bison.
However, in Japan, these characters were originally names M. Bison, Balrog, Sagat, and Vega in that order. So the boxer was M. Bison, the Spaniard was Balrog, and the dictator was Vega. Apparently, someone feared a lawsuit from Mike Tyson, since the boxer looked exactly like him and had such a similar name in M. Bison. So they swapped the names around... you know, it wasn't a big deal, right?
Who knew Street Fighter would have become the cultural phenomenon it did? As a result, this name mix-up has been plaguing the Street Fighter community for years and years. Some people don't know who you are referring to when you say, "Vega." Do you mean the guy with the claw? Or the dictator?
And so, to make things easier on people, nicknames started making their rounds throughout the Street Fighter culture, mostly started by NKI when discussing Super Street Fighter II Turbo. The three characters who had their names swapped were now referred to as Boxer, Claw, and Dictator as opposed to their names. This made sure you knew who anyone was talking about when they said "Vega" or "Balrog."
Some people have gotten very used to these nicknames. This is being brought up mostly because:
This guide will not use those nicknames.
Instead, the U.S. names that we are familiar with will be used because most people who are just getting into Street Fighter, and a lot of Street Fighter IV players are relatively new to the scene, do not know about the name swap. So this is a warning to everyone: characters will be referred to by their American names throughout this FAQ. This includes Akuma, who is known as "Gouki" in Japan. So please just be aware of this. Thank you.
Hit/Block Stun/Stop
Two terms will be used a lot in this guide: Hit Stun and Block Stun. Those of you playing Street Fighter are well aware that the game is all about hitting the opponent right?
Well, if you notice, whenever you land an attack on the opponent, the opponent gets "stuck" in a state. When you hit them, they go into an animation of reeling from getting hit. When they block your attack, they get stuck in a blocking pose for a fixed amount of time.
These are what are referred to as Hit Stun and Block Stun. Hit Stun is the concept that, when hit, you are stuck in the reel animation for a while. Any hits that connect during your Hit Stun are considered a hit that combos on you. And Block Stun is the concept that, when you block an attack, you are stuck in the block pose for a while. Any attack that connects on you during Block Stun is considered a true Block String. These are very important concepts to understand as they will be talked about a lot throughout this guide.
Another concept that you end up hearing a lot and will also be seeing a lot in this guide is the word "Frame". You are going to end up reading a lot about concepts such as Active Frames, Frame Advantage, animation frames, etc. etc. So without understanding what a frame is, you're going to get very lost very quickly.
The easiest way to understand frames it to think about everything that happens on the screen as a cartoon. In a cartoon, you have to draw one picture at a time so that, when played in rapid succession, each picture creates the illusion of movement. Each of these pictures are typically called an animation frame. In general, most video game consoles these days display 60 frames per second.
That's what happens on the screen in Street Fighter as well. Every movement a character makes, every attack they perform, goes through a set of what you can call animation frames. So some moves are made up of 20 animation frames. Some moves are made up of as many as 200 frames.
This is all we are referring to when we mention frames. Street Fighter V does indeed run at 60 frames per second, so frames are often used as a measurement of in-game "time". So if we say something like, "There is a 6 frame window you can perform this action," that means you have 6/60ths (which is 1/10th) of a second to perform the action.
Move Stages
Remember what was just said? That every action in the game, including attacks, are "animated" frame by frame? Well, with regards to attacks, every attack in the game has three phases: a startup phase, an active phase, and a recovery phase.
You can see it in every move. Hit a button, and your character will start a move, hit the opponent, and then finish an animation. That's all these phases are: the period of time before your move hits the opponent, the period of time the move is hitting the opponent, and the period of time after the move hits the opponent.
So take those periods and break them down into those "animation frames" we just talked about. The start of your attack before it can hit the opponent is made up of Startup Frames. The animation frames during which your attack can actually hit the opponent are known as Active Frames. And everything that comes after those Active Frames are considered Recovery Frames.
These three types of frames make up the skeleton of every attack, and all three types are super important to various aspects of the systems and concepts that make up Street Fighter V. So become familiar with these terms and keep them in mind throughout the guide.

February 10, 2016 (San Diego) – Last night's presidential primary in New Hampshire proved historic on several fronts. By huge landslides, voters in both Democratic and Republican parties cast their ballots for candidates running outside the mainstream political framework: mavericks Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Sanders is also the first Jewish candidate ever to win a presidential primary.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders pulled in 60% of the vote to win the Democratic primary, trouncing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who got 38%. Sanders, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, is running on a platform of closing the wealth gap by reining in Wall Street, taxing the rich and providing free healthcare for all.
On the Republican side, billionaire businessman and former reality TV show host Donald Trump won with 35% of the vote. Ohio Governor John Kasich took second at 16% in an upset over the Iowa caucus winner, Senator Ted Cruz, who got 12%, narrowly edging out Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who had 11% and 10% respectively. Other candidates placed in single digits, with 100% of precincts now reported.

CLINTON WANTS TO SEE HALF A BILLION SOLAR PANELS
ECOreport
Originally Published on the ECOreport
By Roy L Hales
July 30, 2015 (San Diego's East County) - With Hillary Clinton leading the pack of Presidential hopefuls, America could increase its solar capacity by 700% by 2020. The latest CNN poll shows 44% of the voters respondents favourable to her. This is quite a lead over the two next most favoured candidates, Republicans Jeb Bush and Donald Trump (who both had 34%). Her Democratic challenger, Bernie Sanders, may be "moving up" but has a long way to go with only 24%. Clinton wants to see half a billion US solar panels on rooftops by the end of her first term.

When he first tasted this hot drink, he had been at the court of the Aztec emperor, Montezuma II. This beverage was a far cry from the ubiquitous hot drinking chocolate we have now. As there wasn't any sugar cane then in Central America, it might have been sweetened, (if it was), with honey. Sugar cane wasn't introduced in the South American continent before the mid-16th century.
Montezuma is reputed to have had a prodigious sexual appetite, and it's believed that the Aztecs believed that this might result from the cacao bean along with the beverage. The evidence for the connection between chocolate and improved sexual performance is therefore purely anecdotal.
So, that is where the belief that Squirrel Poop is an aphrodisiac has its own roots. But is there any scientific evidence for this claim?
Scientists say that there are two substances in chocolate and the cacao bean which might increase sexual appetite; one is tryptophan, a precursor to the feel-good chemical dopamine. The next substance is phenylethylamine, which is a stimulant comparable to amphetamine. The latter material, phenylethylamine is discharged to the brain when people fall in love.
These substances are found in chocolate of all kinds in little doses, so it's extremely unlikely that chocolate really has some aphrodisiac qualities. Dark chocolate has slightly more of these that white and milk chocolate, apparently. Scientists have researched the claims, but have found no evidence to substantiate them.
That having been said, however, most folks would not deny that eating chocolate, and letting it melt in your mouth, is a really pleasurable sensation. When we feel good, and are cosy and comfortable, we're likely open to the possibilities of stimulation. If you're not comfy and warm, you likely are not in the mood for any sort of dalliance. Think about all of the movies you've seen when a few lie in front of a log fire on a sheepskin rug and end up in each other's embrace.
Chocolate isn't an aphrodisiac based scientists, but since it makes us feel relaxed and good, there's some circumstantial evidence to suggest, however erroneously, that chocolate is an aphrodisiac.

Le TER Alsace dispose de plusieurs types de matériel allant des automoteurs bimode, diesel et électrique ainsi que des rames tractées par des locomotives diesel ou électriques.

Histoire
Le changement de service de  est marqué par :
 la fin du service des BB 15000 pour le TER Alsace. Après la mise en service du premier tronçon de la LGV Est européenne, quelques machines sont restées affectées au dépôt de Strasbourg pour la traction des EuroCity entre le Luxembourg et la Suisse. Elles sont remplacées par des BB 26000.
 les RBDe 562 des CFF ont été retirées des missions Bâle - Mulhouse Ville et remplacées par des Z 27500.
 Les X 73500 ont été retirés des missions Mulhouse Ville - Belfort et remplacés par des Z 27500 et B 82500.

Parc actuel

Automoteurs
Les X 73900 sont des dérivés des X 73500, mais ont la particularité d'être aptes à rouler en Allemagne. Ils effectuent donc les navettes express Métro-Rhin, en compagnie des Regio Shuttle de l'Ortenau-S-Bahn.

En 2010, la Région a commandé à Bombardier des nouvelles caisses d'AGC pour agrandir ses rames. Ainsi, 18 XGC sur 22 sont passés de trois à quatre caisses, et l'ensemble des ZGC a reçu une quatrième caisse. L'opération s'est achevée fin 2012. Les BGC ne sont pas concernés car ils ont été livrés avec 4 caisses.

Une grande partie des X 73500 ont été revendus à d'autres régions françaises par le Conseil Régional, ces rames étant sous-capacitaires pour la plupart du réseau alsacien. Fin 2014, seuls huit rames restent en circulation en Alsace.

Automoteurs bimodes bicourants
Après la réception des derniers automoteurs bimodes bicourants issues de la commande d'AGC en 2010, la région réceptionne le premier Régiolis en .

En 2011, l'Alsace passe commande de 22 exemplaires Régiolis bimodes et bicourants auprès d'Alstom, avec un supplément de deux rames commandées en 2012 dont 18 rames longues et 6 rames moyennes. La fin des livraisons est prévue pour 2017.

Automotrices
Les Z 11500 ont toutes été reversées au TER Lorraine depuis l'année 2016.

Rames de tram-train

Locomotives pour rames tractées
Les BB 25500 et BB 67400 sont utilisées pour tracter les RRR ainsi que certaines rames Corail. Les BB 26000 sont quant à elles, uniquement destinées à la traction des rames réversibles TER 200.

Voitures et rames tractées

22 rame réversibles régionales (RRR) de trois caisses circulent sur le réseau, tractées par des BB 67400 et des BB 25500. Pour le TER 200, 13 voitures-pilotes Corail circulent afin de permettre aux rames de se retourner en gare sans manœuvre. Les rames TER 200 sont constituées par 112 voitures VTU et 21 voitures VU.

Autocars

Futur matériel
La Région Alsace réfléchit à la mise en place de rames à deux niveaux sur l'axe Strasbourg - Bâle, mais n'a pour l'instant pas passé commande de rames Bombardier Régio2N.

Four-year-old at home recovering after surgery in New York City
Tim Howsare
editor@borgernewsherald.com
BORGER, TX
Brealee Whitmire, the 4-year-old girl who had surgery on June 19 in New York City, is back home in Borger, her mother, Lacy, told the News-Herald on Monday.
The Whitmires returned to Borger on Friday.
Braelee had surgery for scoliosis and chairi malformation.
"She was walking about the fourth day after surgery," Lacy Whitmire said. "The only thing that's bothering her is her neck is real stiff. She can't turn her neck."
Though Braelee is doing well in her recovery, she will need a lot of follow up to her surgery.
She will need to have an MRI every three months, her mother said.
"We are going back to New York in September," Lacy said.
They also will be going to Dallas at the end of September, Lacy said.
Her mother said Braelee had a very large cyst that was causing her scoliosis.
"They want to shrink or get rid of it," Lacy said.
While she's wearing the cast, Brealee cannot bath or swim.
"We can only wash her hair and give her sponge baths," Lacy said.
After the last cast is removed, Brealee will need to wear a back brace until she is 10.
Despite everything's she has been through, Lacy said Brealee is doing well.
"She's doing fine. There's been no issues," Lacy said.


Patients have experienced relief in many ways by working with Julianne.
Here are a few of her case studies.
In 90 days this couple went thru my program and saw the huge affect it made on how they felt and how they looked. they have learned a whole new way to eat, to look at food and know which foods are best for them.
2 months after the Leap Diet. Face is clear!
Would you like a free consultation to discuss your symptoms and find out how you can get relief in the quickest possible time, without side-effect producing medications?
I've struggled with a sensitive stomach most of my life. In October of 2015, while in my junior year of college, my symptoms became more severe. I had stomach and intestinal pain daily, and developed IBS with diarrhea. The pains made me scared to eat, so I was consuming minimal food.
I lost 10 pounds, and looked noticeably thinner. After several weeks, my symptoms subsided, until they resurfaced the beginning of the new year, this time worse. I felt sick daily. The constant digestive discomfort gave me anxiety about eating and my health, causing regular stress headaches. I went to the doctor several times over those four months, in which test after test found nothing wrong with my body. At this point, I felt hopeless to ever recovering. Then, a close family friend told us about Julianne, so she advised for me to take the MRT test and started the LEAP diet in order to decrease my unwanted symptoms.
Julianne seemed to be the miracle I was looking for. Within the first week of following my LEAP diet, my face got its color back, I was gaining the weight I lost, and I felt almost no digestive pains. Experimenting with recipes that followed my diet was enjoyable, and I discovered how simple and healthy foods could taste just as delicious, or better, than the less healthy alternative. I never would have been able to take control of my body without Julianne. The MRT test revealed some foods that I thought were safe for me to be damaging, and vice versa. Right now, I am probably the healthiest I have ever been in my entire life. Without a doubt, I would recommend Julianne and the MRT/LEAP experience to anyone who is struggling with their health.
I could never lose weight, my allergies were driving me crazy, I have tried all the medications, doctors, tests....however since I discovered what my dietary triggers are I feel so much better and the weight finally came off.
I just wanted to tell you how your LEAP Testing was life changing for my son and my family. This time last year my son was considered delayed in many areas. He was two years old and not speaking, and not making eye contact. David had many therapists and was making little if any progress. His developmental specialist said that she suspected Autism. His delays were not his only problem. Poor little guy was always sick. He had yellow runny stools everyday. He ate all kinds of different foods, but was always sick. He would wake every two hours throughout the night and cry scratching his stomach. The closest thing that I can compare it to would be when an infant has colic. It was uncontrollable crying. David was growing fine and his doctor said that he just had stomach flu again, but David had dark circles under his eyes and was not interactive at all. He was so sick and in his own world. It was the hardest time of my life.
I had to do something to help save my little boy. I began reading and reading. Dietary invention seemed like a very safe and noninvasion way to try to help David. I first thought he had Celiac Disease because his symtoms were the same. I had David tested for Celiac Disease, and it came back negative. I also had him tested for food allergies through his doctor and the test did come back positive for egg whites. David was eating eggs every morning. I removed them from his diet and he improved a little. I then removed dairy products because I thought although it was not an allergen he might be lactose intolerant. He imporved even more. I was reading about how the Gluten Free/Casin Free diet helps many Autistic children, so then I removed all wheat/gluten products. David improved immensely. I was certain that his diet was crucial for his well being. Then I hit a brick wall. David was avoiding all the foods that I thought were bothering him, but was still having some bad nights and days.
Once I found out about the LEAP testing I was thrilled. I was so excited because I knew that David was sensitive to foods, and now I had a way to test him. His test results were incredible. He tested reactive to 53 out of 150 of the items. He was reactive to many things that I was giving him in his daily organic foods like honey, vanilla favoring, lemon flavoring, strawberries, pinto beans, almonds, and white potatoes. The list goes on and on. But then our life changed as we changed David's diet. He started to sleep at night. The dark circles were replaced by bright eyes. He started to make progress in his therapy sessions. His so called stomach flu was cured. The LEAP testing gave me the tools I needed to personalize his diet.
David is currently on a very restricted diet, but he is happy. He did receive the official diagnosis of Autism in August, but he is improving so much with dietary invention that we are hoping for a full recovery. He is an inspiration. Thank you so much for the LEAP testing. I know that David would not be well without it. It was a miracle for us because it showed me what he could eat so he could begin to thrive.
I hope that other parents will read this and be able to personalize their own child's diet because has been the most effective treatment for our son to this point. He is doing many hours of therapy every week, however, he couldn't get through the therapy sessions and learn if he was sick. Many foods were definitely making him sick and have been removed.
If you ever have any parents of a children with autism, please tell them there is so much hope with Dietary invention and your LEAP testing. You're LEAP testing changed our lives.
You are welcome to share my name, city, and phone number. I was very happy to write the letter for you and if you ever need to contact me feel free to call or email. I'm easy to get a hold of and will respond quickly. If you need anything to be signed or approved just let me know.
Are You Tired Of Suffering From A Chronic Condition Such As Stomach Pain, Irritable Bowel, Acne, Arthritis, Skin Rashes, Headaches, or Fatigue?
Looks like the diet is working. First few days was rough but I'm feeling better now. See attached photos.
Julianne consults with patients anywhere in the country, improving their health with a new approach to dietary care.

The Fire Inside the World's Oldest Restaurant's Oven Has Been Burning Continuously for 293 Straight Years
Restaurante Sobrino de Botin has been serving food since 1725.

The 13 Best Restaurants in America, According to Michelin
Nearly a century ago Ernest Hemingway wrote his novel The Sun Also Rises, a book that helped popularize Pamplona's Running of the Bulls. But before the British expats on a Spanish sojourn arrived at the Festival of St. Fermin, they stumbled their way through the country's capital, Madrid, stopping at a famed eatery.
"We lunched upstairs at Botin's," Hemingway wrote in 1926. "It is one of the best restaurants in the world. We had roast young suckling pig and drank rioja alta. Brett did not eat much. She never ate much. I ate a very big meal and drank three bottles of rioja alta."
Not only is that restaurant still serving that suckling pig 92 years later, it had actually been serving it 201 years before Hemingway's characters even arrived. Opened in 1725, Restaurante Sobrino de Botin is deemed by the Guinness Book of World Records to be the oldest continually operating restaurant in the world.
The team at Great Big Story recently ventured to Botin to tour the old place. The building was first constructed in 1590, and then in 1725 a French chef named Jean Botin and his wife—who had come to Madrid to work for a nobleman—refurbished the ground floor of the building, turning it into the restaurant that stands today. When they died without children, the restaurant went to a nephew, whereupon it became Sobrino de Botin or "nephew of Botin." Now the restaurant belongs to the González family, who have owned it for three generations, since the start of the 20th century.
But what's really amazing about this old restaurant is that not only has it been serving food for 293 years, the current owner claims that the flame inside the oven has never been extinguished in nearly three centuries. The oven is hot at night for cooking during dinner service, but then still needs to be able to roast in the morning. They never actually let the fire die—instead just increasing and decreasing the amount they fuel it with wood. So the same fire that roasted Hemingway's pig would roast your dinner if you were to show up today.
