Adam Quotes
Poverty comes from Hell. Prosperity comes from Heaven. Adam had complete dominion over the earth and all it contains. A. Adam could fly like a bird. B. Adam could swim underwater and breathe like a fish. Adam went to the moon. Adam walked on water. Adam was a super being; He was the first superman that lived. Adam had dominion over the sun, moon & stars. Christians do not have Christ in their hearts. Sow a big seed, when you confess it, you are activating the supernatural forces of God.

Benny Hinn Quotes
Adam has always had... heroic tendencies.' I touched Adam's arm. 'He's my hero.' There was another pause... 'That is the most romantic thing I've ever heard you say, ' Bran said. 'Be careful, Adam, or you'll turn her into a real girl.' Adam looked at me. 'I like her just the way she is, Bran.' And he meant it, greasy overalls, broken fingernails, and all.

So where does the name Adam's apple come from? Most people say that it is from the notion that this bump was caused by the forbidden fruit getting stuck in the throat of Adam in the Garden of Eden. There is a problem with this theory because some Hebrew scholars believe that the forbidden fruit was the pomegranate. The Koran claims that the forbidden fruit was a banana. So take your pick---Adam's apple, Adam's pomegranate, Adam's banana. Eve clearly chewed before swallowing.

The Bible makes it clear that Adam's sin affected the whole universe. This means that any aliens would also be affected by Adam's sin, but because they are not Adam's descendants, they can't have salvation.

Ken Ham Quotes
Your sons have no names.' Adam replied, 'Their mother left them motherless.' 'And you have left them fatherless. Can't you feel the cold at night of a lone child? What warm is there, what bird song, what possible morning can be good? Don't you remember, Adam, how it was, even a little?' 'I didn't do it, ' Adam said. 'Have you undone it? Your boys have no names.

John Steinbeck Quotes
Very well, then, where do we arrive? Where do we arrive with our respect, our homage, our filial affection? At Adam! At Adam, every time. We can't build a monument to a germ, but we can build one to Adam, who is in the way to turn myth in in fifty years and be entirely forgotten in two hundred. We can build a monument and save his name to the world forever, and we'll do it!

Mark Twain Quotes
For Adam, screwed-up bonding thing or not, I'd wait forever. 'Really?' he asked in a tone I'd never heard from him before. Softer. Vulnerable. Adam didn't do vulnerable. 'Really what?' I asked. 'Despite the way our bond scares you, despite the way someone in the pack played you, you'd still have me?' He'd been listening to my thoughts. This time it didn't bother me. 'Adam, ' I told him, 'I'd walk barefoot over hot coals for you.

Tamra Davis Quotes
As Adam lost the heritage of union with God in a garden, so now Our Blessed Lord ushered in its restoration in a garden. Eden and Gethsemane were the two gardens around which revolved the fate of humanity. In Eden, Adam sinned; in Gethsemane, Christ took humanity's sin upon Himself. In Eden, Adam hid himself from God; in Gethsemane, Christ interceded with His Father; in Eden, God sought out Adam in his sin of rebellion; in Gethsemane, the New Adam sought out the Father and His submission and resignation. In Eden, a sword was drawn to prevent entrance into the garden and thus immortalizing of evil; in Gethsemane, the sword would be sheathed.

Fulton J. Sheen Quotes
Essay on Adam" There are five possibilities. One: Adam fell. Two: he was pushed. Three: he jumped. Four: he only looked over the edge, and one look silenced him. Five: nothing worth mentioning happened to Adam. The first, that he fell, is too simple. The fourth, fear, we have tried and found useless. The fifth, nothing happened, is dull. The choice is between: he jumped or was pushed. And the difference between these is only an issue of whether the demons work from the inside out or from the outside in: the one theological question.

Robert Bringhurst Quotes
Being Adam Parrish was a complicated thing, a wonder of muscles and organs, synapses and nerves. He was a miracle of moving parts, a study in survival. The most important thing to Adam Parrish, though, had always been free will, the ability to be his own master. This was the important thing. It had always been the important thing. This was what it was to be Adam.

We all are originally sinners as Adam and in Adam, his leprosy cleaving faster to us than Naaman's did to Gahazai, so that even the infant, before it has seen the light of the world, has this blemish inherent in its unborn members.

John Wycliffe Quotes
The obedience of Christ was far more acceptable to God, than the innocence of Adam; so that a thousand such as Adam could not have equalled Christ alone. For however he, had he continued in the state of innocence, would have left us an hereditary righteousness, of which we should have been possessed: notwithstanding, unspeakably greater, and more excellent, is our union with God in Christ, since he being made man, hath so purified and exalted the human nature in himself, that the primitive state of Adam is not once to be compared with it.

Johann Arndt Quotes
Was it okay? Adam had turned down so many offers of help from Gansey. Money for school, money for food, money for rent. Pity and charity, Adam had thought. For so long, he'd wanted Gansey to see him as an equal, but it was possible that all this time, the only person who needed to see that was Adam. Now he could see that it wasn't charity Gansey was offering. It was just truth. And something else: friendship of the unshakable kind. Friendship you could swear on. That could be busted nearly to breaking and come back stronger than before.

The Bible is the story of two gardens: Eden and Gethsemane. In the first, Adam took a fall. In the second, Jesus took a stand. In the first, God sought Adam. In the second, Jesus sought God. In Eden, Adam hid from God. In Gethsemane, Jesus emerged from the tomb. In Eden, Satan led Adam to a tree that led to his death. From Gethsemane, Jesus went to a tree that led to our life.

No one warns young people to follow Adam's example. He waited till God saw his need. Then God made Adam sleep, prepared for his mate, and brought her to him.

Adam was a super being when God created him...he had dominion over the fowls of the air which means he used to fly...well of course how could you have dominion over the birds and not be able to do what they do. Adam flew into space, with one thought he would be on the moon.

I walked to the door where Clovis waited. When I looked up, he was staring at Adam. A quick glance backward confirmed Adam was returning his stare. Freaking males, I thought, they couldn't be more obvious about their territorial dispute if they'd both peed on me.

Yes, President Young did teach that Adam was the father of our spirits, and all the related things that the cultists ascribe to him. This [i.e., Brigham Young's teaching on Adam], however, is not true. He expressed views that are out of harmony with the gospel.

In the end, he was nobody to Adam, he was nobody to Ronan. Adam spit his words back at him and Ronan squandered however many second chances he gave him. Gansey was just a guy with a lot of stuff and a hole inside him that chewed away more of his heart every year.

Finally, Dageus finished, and she heard Gwen and Chloe say simultaneously, breathlessly, "Oh, my God." Gabby opened her eyes.

Wolves eat coyotes," Gordon said[...] If he weren't an old man, I had some rude things I could have said to that. "Yes," observed Adam blandly. "I do." Yep. That was the one that came to mind.

Adam wasn't certain what came first with Blue--her treating the boys as friends, or them all becoming friends.

My very first gig was with the Sex Pistols, and it was also our first-ever gig. It was a very short set, and it was at Saint Martins College of Art in 1975. We were opening up for a band called Bazooka Joe, and their bass player at the time was Adam Ant, who went on to form Adam and the Ants.

Steve Jones Quotes
Had Adam tenderly reproved his wife, and endeavored to lead her to repentance instead of sharing in her guilt, I should be much more ready to accord to man that superiority which he claims; but as the facts stand disclosed by the sacred historian, it appears to me that to say the least, there was as much weakness exhibited by Adam as by Eve. They both fell from innocence, and consequently from happiness, but not from equality.

The first thing to say about Eve is that she was a big improvement on the Adam design, or that Adam was an extremely misguided variation on the Eve design. (Consider testicles. Two concentrated nuclei of absolute vulnerability. Where? Dangling between the legs. I rest my case.)

If you like, you can all think of it as my gift to you. I never had much else to give. You can get on and play your own lives as you like, while I just keep moving. This story of it all can be another gift. I've made an arrangement with Adam. When I've finished, which is almost now, I'm going to put the bundle of papers in the garden of the Old Fort, before I move on. Adam's going to get them and take them to his father. And if you read it and don't believe it's real, so much the better. It will make another safeguard against Them. But you wouldn't believe how lonely you get.

Home is the center of my being where I can hear the voice that says: 'You are my Beloved, on you my favor rests' - the same voice that gave life to the first Adam and spoke to Jesus, the second Adam; the same voice that speaks to all the children of God and sets them free to live in the midst of a dark world while remaining in the light.

Henri Nouwen Quotes
My Ona Elena once told me something important, " Adam said, hesitant now that the force of Levec's anger had deserted him. "Happiness is like a seed." Before Levec could speak, Adam lifted a hand. "She said that anger and hatred and love are like seeds as well. All the things we feel that endure, are." "And we are?" "Dirt, " Adam replied. "I might agree with that statement, but I'm certain you intend to go elsewhere with it." "We are earth. But we are like different types of earth, in different climates. Not all seeds that fall from a tree take root. Not all things that take root survive. We cannot be given happiness. Only the seed of it. We might not recognize the seed, " he added. "Because we can't see the tree it might become. We are surrounded by trees, and the seeds in our hands looks nothing like them. "For some, the earth is damp and fertile, and all seeds take root. But for others, the earth is hard, and water scarce. Elena believed that no man-or woman-starts life as a desert. But without trees, any many or woman can become one." - Adam

Michelle West Quotes
When I was 11 years old and I was on a road trip with my family. I turned to my dad and said, "Do you believe in Adam and Eve?" And he said he didn't think so. I remember that felt like a slap in the face, because if my parents questioned Adam and Eve, then they potentially questioned everything within Catholicism. Eventually that idea led to my feeling liberated, but at that time it was very scary.

Ah, now, ' crooned Adam, 'here we are, then.' With infinite care, as though he were handling a babe, he lifted the sword out, and a sigh seemed to go through him. 'Ah, my lovely, it's been far too long.' 'Shall I leave you two alone, then?' Eliza's lips twitched. She'd never seen such a look of reverence mixed with old familiarity. It was nearly indecent. Adam spared her a glance. 'Quiet woman, a man's relationship with his sword is a sacred thing.' 'So I've heard.

Kristen Callihan Quotes
Ronan's bedroom door burst open. Hanging on the door frame, Ronan leaned out to peer past Gansey. He was doing that thing where he looked like both the dangerous Ronan he was now and the cheerier Ronan he had been when Gansey first met him. "Hold on, " Gansey told Adam. Then, to Ronan: "Why would he be?" "No reason. Just no reason." Ronan slammed his door. Gansey asked Adam, "Sorry. You still have that suit for the party?" Adam's response was buried in the sound of the second-story door falling open. Noah slouched in. In a wounded tone, he said, "He threw me out the window!" Ronan's voice sang out from behind his closed door: "You're already dead!

Our forefather Adam... used his freedom to turn toward what was worse and to direct his desire away from what had been permitted to what was forbidden. It was in his power 'to be united to the Lord and become one spirit with God...' (I Cor. 6:15). But Adam was deceived and chose to cut himself off voluntarily from God's happy end for him, preferring by his own free choice to be drawn down to the earth (cf. Gen. 2:17) than to become God by grace.

Maximus the Confessor Quotes
It was not the Fall of Adam, therefore, that set God's agenda; it was the decision to share the great dance with us through Jesus. Adam's plunge certainly threatened God's dreams for us, but that threat had been anticipated and already strategically overcome in the predestination of the incarnation. Jesus Christ did not become human to fix the fall; he became human to accomplish the eternal purpose of our adoption, and in order to bring our adoption to pass, the Fall had to be called to a halt and undone... Jesus is not a footnote to Adam and his Fall; the Fall, and indeed creation itself, is a footnote to the purpose of God in Jesus Christ.

Adam understood, then, that Gansey and Blue's awe changed this place. Ronan and Adam may have seen this place as magical, but Gansey and Blue's wonder made it holy.

Adam became so proud that he wished to become God and died for his pride; the Son of God humbled Himself unto death, and gave life to the fallen. O abyss of humility! Adam and Eve lost themselves through gluttony, the Lord fasted and died for them, in order to give them life. They were disobedient, Christ fulfilled obedience.

John of Kronstadt Quotes
We have resorted to every means to win back the position that Adam lost. We have tried through education, through philosophy, through religion, through governments to throw off our yoke of depravity and sin. All our knowledge, all our inventions, all our developments and ambitious plans move us ahead only a very little before we drop back again to the point from which we started. For we are still making the same mistake that Adam made - - we are still trying to be king in our own right, and with our own power, instead of obeying God's law.

Billy Graham Quotes
The name Eve/Eab/Age stems from the Latin aetas, which is from aevum, 'lifetime.' The word aetas is remarkably similar to the name Aides, i.e. Hades. Eve, you see, is not Adam's wife but Adam's father, Zeus bronnton, Zeus 'the thunderer/earthshaker, ' Poseidon, the fallen - or, better still, suspended, mediating - aspect of God!

Eric Bredesen Quotes
St. Augustine teaches us that there is in each man a Serpent, an Eve, and an Adam. Our senses and natural propensities are the Serpent; the excitable desire is the Eve; and reason is the Adam. Our nature tempts us perpetually; criminal desire is often excited; but sin is not completed till reason consents.

Blaise Pascal Quotes
If Adam and Eve were not hunter-gatherers, then they were certainly gatherers. But, then, consumer desire, or self-embitterment, or the 'itch, ' as Schopenhauer called it, appeared in the shape of the serpent. This capitalistic monster awakens in Adam and Eve the possibility that things could be better. Instantly, they are cast out of the garden and condemned to a life of toil, drudgery, and pain. Wants supplanted needs, and things have been going downhill ever since.

Surgeons are a singular brotherhood, Adam. To us, people aren't sacred beings crafted in the Almighty's image, no, people are joints of meat; diseased, leathery meat, yes, but meat ready for the skewer and the spit." He mimicked my usual voice, very well. "'But why me, Henry, are we not friends?' Well, Adam, even friends are made out of meat.

If you look only as Genesis as an allegory, you have a major problem, because if it's an allegory, then tell me who our ancestor was? If Abraham was real, then from Abraham if Adam isn't real, if it's just an allegory, it's just a story, then what's the real Adam who really fell in a garden and really sinned? Where did we come from?

Don't take this the wrong way," Blue replied. Her cheeks felt a little warm, but she was well into this conversation and she couldn't back down now. "Because I know you're going to think I feel bad about it, and I don't." "All right." "Because I'm not pretty. Not in the way Aglionby boys seem to lie." "I go to Aglionby," Adam said. Adam did not seem to go to Aglinoby like other boys went to Aglionby. "I think you're pretty," he said.

You have seen what Eblis the accursed has seen, when he said "I am of fire, while Adam is of clay." Cover up the Eblis-like eye for just a moment; how long will you see just the form? How long, indeed, how long? Alas for that eye that's blind and bruised! Within it the sun seemed like an atom Of an Adam who had no like. He saw nothing but a lump of clay. -Mathnawi-ye ma'nawi III 2758-9

Some days,' I say, 'I feel like I don't belong anywhere in that world. That world out there. 'I point to Grant. 'People walk down our street and people drive down it and people ride their bicycles down it and all of them, even the ones I know, could be from another planet. And I'm a visiting alien.'

It is a good deal better to have life in Christ and God than any where else. I would rather have my life hid with Christ in God than be in Eden as Adam was. Adam might have remained in Paradise for 16,000 years, and then fallen, but if ours is hid in Christ, how safe!

Dwight L. Moody Quotes
The raw fruits of the earth were made for human sustenance. Even the white tails of rabbits, according to some theologians, have a purpose, namely to make it easier for sportsmen to shoot them. There are, it is true, some inconveniences: lions and tigers are too fierce, the summer is too hot, and the winter too cold. But these things only began after Adam ate the apple; I before that, all animals were vegetarians, and the season was always spring. If only Adam had been content with peaches and nectarines, grapes and pears and pineapples, these blessings would still be ours.

Bertrand Russell Quotes
He was not subordinate to God - Adam was walking as a god! What he said "went," what he did "counted"; and when he bowed his knee to Satan and put Satan up above him then there wasn't anything God could do about it because a "god" had placed Satan there. Adam, remember, was created in the god-class, but when he committed high treason he fell below the god-class.

Then the musical instruments appeared. Dad's snare drum from the house, Henry's guitar from his car, Adam's spare guitar from my room. Everyone was jamming together, singing songs: Dad's songs, Adam's songs, old Clash songs, old Wipers songs. Teddy was dancing around, the blond of his hair reflecting the golden flames. I remember watching it all and getting that tickling in my chest and thinking to myself: This is what happiness feels like.

God gave Adam and Eve that free will and choice. He gave them one warning: eat of any tree that is here, including the wonderful tree of life, but don't eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil... I wish Adam and Eve had thought more about what knowledge meant. Eve saw it as a good thing, to know more. But how do you really know something? You experience it

Adam was in the dream, too; he traced the tangled pattern of ink with his finger. He said, "Scio quid hoc est." As he traced it further and further down on the bare skin of Ronan's back, Ronan himself disappeared entirely, and the tattoo got smaller and smaller. It was a Celtic knot the size of a wafer, and then Adam, who had become Kavinsky, said "Scio quid estis vos." He put the tattoo in his mouth and swallowed it. Ronan woke with a start, ashamed and euphoric. The euphoria wore off long before the shame did. He was never sleeping again.

It is important to insist on the historical truthfulness of the narrative of the fall of Adam and Eve. Just as the account of the creation of Adam and Eve is tied in with the rest of the historical narrative in the book of Genesis, so also this account of the fall of man, which follows the history of man's creation, is presented by the author as straightforward, narrative history

Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house a world; and beyond its world, a heaven. Know then, that the world exists for you. For you is the phenomenon perfect. What we are, that only can we see. All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do. Adam called his house, heaven and earth; Caesar called his house, Rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobler's trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar's garret. Yet line for line and point for point, your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. Build, therefore, your own world.

Sente que el calor iba subiendome por el cuello y que me ruborizaba. Clave la vista en mis zapatos. Sabea que Adam me estaba mirando, y tambien que si alzaba los ojos me besarea. Y me sorprendio lo mucho que deseaba ese beso, darme cuenta de que lo habea pensado tan a menudo que incluso habea memorizado la forma exacta de sus labios, e imaginado que le acariciaba el hoyuelo de la mejilla con el dedo. Levante los ojos, parpadeando. Adam estaba esperando. Ase fue como todo empezo.

The experience of resettlemet can be quite traumatic, espessially for children whose future is dependednt on the surrounding events and environment they live in. Therefore,our project is going to address the complications the refugee children went through on their way to safe European life changing the perception of the negative experience through transforming it into a fascinating story not only for the children themselves but for their European equals in age as well.
The project aims at enhancing the tolerance to the young refugee generation and their inclusiveness in German cultural and social processes alongside eliminating the stressful consequences of their migration. After the project execution its outcomes and methodology will be implemented to assist the refugee children from the Eastern parts of Ukraine find their place in the other regions of the country overcoming the national, cultural, and ideological borders.
Trough the series of workshops we are planning to introduce to the refugee children the art of creating comics and illustrations. After attending the workshops, the children participating in the project will be asked to create several illustrations dedicated to their memories of home, the concept of home, their way to Europe, and the impression of the place they currently live in.
The target group of the project comprises of the refugee children who witnessed all the grim realities of war and life in exile, and currently are at the age of 8-12 years, in the cities most affected by the refugee crisis, hereby, Ruhr area of Germany. Moreover, it will reach european children as well, providing them with an opportunity to reconsider their perception of the refugees.
Our project provides possibility of creative expression of traumatic experience of refugee children. Our practice is combination of storytelling, art and social work.During our workshops we are creating a ZIN - сomics about the journey of the child from one country to another which transform stressful experiences in the exciting adventures.

Governor's Award nominee Steve Buchner known for his service to others
As the union operations coordinator for Student Centers and Activities, Steve Buchner is responsible for managing the daily operations of one of the university's largest service facilities.
Steve Buchner lives the university motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) every day, in his service to the students, faculty, and staff at Virginia Tech, as well as the thousands of prospective students and their families who visit Squires Student Center each year.
As the union operations coordinator for Student Centers and Activities, Buchner is responsible for managing the daily operations of one of the university's largest service facilities. The center houses two ballrooms, a 510-seat theater, a food court and multiple dining areas, various activity rooms and meeting rooms, an art gallery, lounges, music and theater production spaces, offices and practice rooms for the music department, and offices for student publications and Student Centers and Activities.
His incredible outlook has consistently helped the department improve spaces, services, and functionality to better serve the university, according to Justin Camputaro, director of Student Centers and Activities.
"He takes extreme care with all of his actions; he fulfills his responsibilities with a kind heart as his focal point," said Camputaro. "He looks to ensure our guests are taken care of first, regardless of what else may be on his radar. I have seen him drop what he is doing to answer questions for parents, walk a student to their classroom when they're lost, support our housekeeping team with spills, and just sit and listen to a student who needed a comforting ear. This is a role Steve was meant to have."
Buchner also administers the center's community service program, which affords him the opportunity to work with dozens of young adults each semester. The students who come through the program are often embarrassed. Buchner makes it a priority to put the students at ease and make them feel comfortable in knowing that no one is judging them and that he's happy to have them on his team. He talks with them about focusing on what their task is moving forward – being a Hokie and giving back to the community in the spirit of Ut Prosim (That I May Serve).
Buchner is also known as the first person to lend a helping hand to his colleagues.
"Steve has a warmth and genuineness that is inviting, collegial, and informed" said Scott Reed, associate director of Student Centers and Activities. "He often goes above and beyond the surface level service need to serve students, his peers, and the university community."
He's been recognized as a nominee for the 2014 state-wide Governor's Award program in the customer service category for consistently solving problems, communicating effectively, and treating others with dignity and respect.
In 2008 Buchner received the Student Centers and Activities Core Value Award for Service. In 2009 and again in 2013 he received the Student Center Awards Douglas S. Yates Award for Selfless Service.
Buchner came to Virginia Tech in 2004 having previously worked as a retail manager in downtown Blacksburg, Virginia. He has a bachelor's degree in history from Virginia Tech.

Iphone 14 | What the DMA means for Apple, iPhone 14 Pro delivery issues, Twitter at Elon Musk | apple iphone
I admit, this app isn't brand new, but it's a good idea: With Knoop (Low German for "button") it is possible to switch the street lighting on and off at the side of the path at the touch of a button. Originally mainly in the fight against light pollution developed to negatively influence the metabolism of humans and animals, I think such an app is a great example of how smart technology can help save electricity in times of climate change and the energy crisis. Unfortunately, the app only works in a few places in northern Germany so far – but maybe it would also be something for other municipalities.

What the DMA means for Apple, Twitter under Elon Musk, Meta lays off 11,000 people
It's the beginning of November Digital Markets Act (DMA) of the European Union came into force. This is said to be the business of tech giants like Google, Meta or Apple regulate in the EU, which is a kind gatekeeper function hold for their platforms. Particularly exciting for the app industry: This could force Apple to do soon iPhone and iPad allow alternative third-party app stores and the side loading allow apps on iPhones and iPads, i.e. app installation without an app store, for example from a web server. The issue will probably end up in court, because Apple doesn't see it at all for security and data protection reasons alone. Especially since it could of course also lead to a loss of sales. The EU has now sent a representative to the tech metropolis of San Francisco who is supposed to funnel the new rules into the tech giants.
Elon Musk has now really bought Twitter (Image: Sergei Elagin / Shutterstock.com)
Tesla has been boss and tech billionaire since last Friday Elon Musk also owner of Twitter – and kicked one right there large wave of layoffs, only to partially row back again. The well-known symbol for verified accounts, the white check mark on a blue background, will in future be given to Twitter users who pay $7.99 a month instead of well-known personalities and companies. There will soon be one for selected accounts give a new "Official" hook. Musk used his Twitter account for one this week Election recommendation at the midterms for the Republicans. All of this makes some Twitter users doubt whether they are still in good hands on the platform – and many others is now switching to the Twitter alternative Mastodon. Steady co-founder Gabriel Yoran advises Creators to be safe backup their Twitter community and, for example, asking for followers' email addresses.
It is the first job cut in the history of the Facebook Group Meta – and it turns out to be particularly violent: 13 percent of all jobs in the company are to be cutaround 11,000 people lose their jobs. The economic downturn, intensified competition and dwindling advertising revenue have impacted sales more than he thought, he wrote Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg to the employees: "I made a mistake and I accept responsibility for this mistake." But that probably doesn't help those who are now losing their jobs. Meta is currently suffering from declining advertising revenues, which are also due to Apple's ATT rules, which have been in force since last year. Some of the problems are self-inflicted, however, because Zuckerberg is investing billions in his young metaverse called Horizon Worlds, but has hardly any users there so far. Speaking of the Metaverse: Tech Expert Benedict Evans Has recorded a podcast, in which he explains what metaverse actually means and whether you have to worry about it today. In addition he also formulated some thoughts on it for future reference.
iPhone 14 Pro delivery problems, WhatsApp with community function, Signal launches Stories
iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max with Dynamic Island
Ironically, for the important Christmas business Apple with significant delivery bottlenecks for the new one iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max to fight. Production at the main plant in Zhengzhou, China is currently affected by Covid restrictions, so that production only runs with significantly reduced output. This should mean longer waiting times for customers. Apparently, however, the demand for the various iPhone 14 models is also lower than expected. According to the Bloomberg news agency, the production volume is to fall by three million devices, from 90 to 87 million units.
Whatsapp should once again be expanded to include new functions. A fundamental innovation communities. However, the function should not enable the establishment of online communities on WhatsApp. Rather, the aim is to bring several groups together in a kind of upper category, a so-called community. A community called "Restaurant Team by Alex" can be seen on WhatsApp promo pictures, which contains ten subgroups such as "Kitchen Team Chat" or "Audience Area", as reported by Spiegel Online. The aim of the new function is to bring more order into groups. After all, many WhatsApp groups have grown quite large over time and topics are shared or discussed that are by no means of interest to every group member. The new function should make it easier to reach only those group members who are affected by a specific issue.
As one of the last messengers now also leads signal one Stories feature one originally from Snapchat invented and later dated Meta empire Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp has been cloned. LinkedIn and Twitter have long since replicated the function, albeit less successfully. "Stories have long since become a way for many of us to connect," writes Signal in his company blog. "That's why they have a natural place in every messaging app, including Signal. People use them, people want them, so we're providing a way to make stories private. And without having to wade through a sea of ads" – a clear nod to Instagram, whose stories format has long been permeated with advertising.

The two-year lab-testing implementation period ends this month, April 2016. TIA was hopeful the time frame would be extended while the regulations are revised. It has instead run into a last-minute roadblock from the Ministry of Industry's Legal Bureau, which rejected a temporary grace period to extend the appointment of overseas labs.
Therefore, starting April 17th, import shipments to Indonesia must have an SNI certificate issued by a local "LSPro" laboratory or a local lab affiliated with same. Items produced in Indonesia for domestic consumption would also need to meet this requirement.
TIA will continue to monitor and report on this issue.


A Minnesota lawmaker is pushing for a new child vaccination law.
ROCHESTER, Minn.- DFL Rep. Mike Freiberg is pushing for a new child vaccination law.
He wants parents who are opposed to getting their children vaccinated to have to speak with a physicican before making that decision.
Freiberg says parents need to "have the knowledge and information that will help them make a good choice."
The measles outbreak, which affected 79 people this past summer, has sparked this decision.
A local mother we spoke to agrees with the decision, saying that vaccinating your children not only helps keep them healthy but the community as well.

Journal of ASPR - Summer 2012 - Conference Sneak Preview JASPR Interviews Healthcare Expert Jonathan
Conference Sneak Preview:
JASPR Interviews Healthcare Expert Jonathan Fleece
Laurie Pumper, ASPR Communication Director, St. Paul, and Lori Jackson Norris, Co-editor, JASPR, Senior Physician Recruiter, Dignity Health, Phoenix, AZ
Just days before the US Supreme Court made its landmark ruling upholding much of the Affordable Care Act, two members of our JASPR team talked with Jonathan Fleece, who will serve as one of the keynote presenters at the ASPR annual conference in Los Angeles. Jonathan is a leading healthcare attorney and expert in healthcare reform laws including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. He will be joined by David Houle on Tuesday, August 14, presenting on the topic, "The New Health Age: the Future of Health Care in America." Jonathan and David co-authored a book, The New Health Age: The Future of Healthcare and Medicine in America, that has been at the top of Amazon's charts for books about health policy. This article provides excerpts from the interview; if you needed another reason to be convinced to attend the ASPR annual conference, this just might be the one!
The following quote from Jonathan best sums up the interview and what you can look forward to during his presentation: "I'm extremely passionate about this topic… I think your members are going to light up. I predict that your members are going to walk out of that room thinking that they are alive at the best point in history and they are involved in the healthcare space at some of the most exciting times... in American history. It isn't going to be easy, either. Transformations are very, very hard, and we are going through a massive transformation. For those who are committed and passionate about healthcare, the end game is incredibly rewarding for America. There is a lot of good that can come out of it."
Q: Jonathan, you're a healthcare attorney. Describe how you found yourself speaking to groups about why America needs to get healthier.
A: I've been practicing in healthcare law for nearly 16 years. I started in the Midwest with a large academic medical center in St. Louis and then moved my practice to Florida in 2001. Even before the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Deficit Reduction Act that came about under George W. Bush's administration, significant changes started to occur within America's health care delivery system. These two recent major policy changes have brought things to a head.
"I'm extremely passionate about this topic… I think your members are going to light up. I predict that your members are going to walk out of that room thinking that they are alive at the best point in history and they are involved in the healthcare space at some of the most exciting times...
The ACA was the turning point in America that put the issue of our healthcare system on the table for national discussion. My clients were going through many examples of chaos, confusion and fear and misinformation. It was apparent that it was time to study and analyze the issue.
David Houle and I met through an organization that I serve, one of the nation's largest hospice providers. David helped us put together a strategic plan during a board retreat process. He and I forged a friendship. It was a culmination of seeing many factors coming together at once — and all the challenges that we were facing that the ACA put on the table — that prompted us to write the book.
If I had to report on the recurring themes that crystallized the changes: America spends the most money among industrialized nations in the world on healthcare. We are close to 18% of our GDP spent on healthcare.
Then you have to ask the logical question: Are we getting a return on investment for that spending? When you look at two major classes of ROI (one, the health of Americans, and two, health outcomes within the health care system), we fall very far behind in both categories. Americans right now are not healthy. There's lots of data that we talk about in our book regarding the number of preventable diseases and preventable deaths that occur on a national basis because we're not living a healthy lifestyle. It's estimated that nearly 1.5 million people die every year from some sort of death that was clearly preventable or tied to a lifestyle behavior choice — smoking, clinical obesity, or other behavior that's a choice. That's akin to the entire city of Philadelphia dying every year from preventable actions.
"It's estimated that nearly 1.5 million people die every year from some sort of death that was clearly preventable or tied to a lifestyle behavior choice — smoking, clinical obesity, or other behavior that's a choice. That's akin to the entire city of Philadelphia dying every year from preventable actions."
Looking at outcomes, more Americans die in hospitals a year than on highways. That's not from disease — that's from preventable things that occur through bad outcomes in a hospital (infections being the largest percentage of that).
Q: Our members are recruiters in hospital and healthcare settings. What can physician recruitment professionals do to address these key drivers with physicians we are trying to recruit to our organizations?
A: From a recruitment standpoint, I think your role is multi-fold. Educating (physician) recruiters within hospital systems across America about the future directions is important for a variety of reasons. Recruiters need to understand the type of physician and the skill sets and behavior patterns that are going to fit best within this new health age as we've defined it. Second, recruiters need to know how to develop compensation systems, incentives and rewards — and disincentives and punitive measures to also foster that change in behavior. If a hospital medical staff is not penalized for its readmission rates (as an example), are they really going to help that hospital change that data? Medicare and private payers are moving quickly toward pay-for-performance modalities that are clearly going to pay hospitals less for certain re-admissions.
I think the best way (ASPR) can help is through educating members about the future and help recruiters develop reward systems and disincentive systems to help change behavior and get the outcomes that health systems are going to want.
I think forward-thinking hospital CEOs who make the following statement are going to win the game: "My job as a hospital CEO is to close down beds over the next 10 to 20 years within my hospital system." I've heard several hospital leaders say that publicly. That tells you that certain hospitals that are proactive, realize that the more we do around disease management, around wellness, and around higher performance while patients are in the hospital to reduce bad outcomes or re-admissions, the more the hospitals are ultimately going to win because that's where the future of healthcare is going. The more educating about that cultural change and what we define as dynamic flow changes that your members can provide, the more they will be prepared to put in place different systems around that.
Q: We know that America is facing a shortage of healthcare providers, especially physicians. What is your perspective?
A: The data are pretty clear. When you look at the demographics, especially the baby boomers, ten thousand Americans are turning 65 every day for the next several decades. The very nature of aging will tax the healthcare system more and more in the future. When you look at all specialties, there are significant shortages of physicians in the direction we are headed. It is a big issue. I think it needs to be addressed in several ways: Part of healthcare reform needs to involve reform of the medical education system and having more government involvement in funding the education system. Right now, the average loan for a graduating medical student is nearing $200,000 — comparatively, on a global scale that is much, much higher than what all other countries incur for medical education. We have to address that cost issue.
Healthcare providers need to expand the definition of who is the appropriate caregiver for certain tasks. For instance, let's take disease management. A doctor can run tests and complete his evaluation to reach a conclusion that we have a patient with diabetes. But at some point, I think the physician has to embrace — and this could be part of the educational process that could be helpful for your members — that it is now OK to include other caregivers within the medical home team to help manage and treat diabetes. Let's say the diabetes is correlated and caused by obesity; the physician can say in the exam room to the patient, "You need to lose weight. You need to exercise. You need to change your diet and nutrition to effectively manage your diabetes." But the physician has limited time and resources to help that patient achieve the ultimate goal of living a healthier lifestyle and getting the obesity under control. That's where physicians need to embrace dietitians, nutritionists, physical therapists, trainers, and other caregivers to achieve the desired outcome, which is better health and being proactive to bring down costs. Embracing allied health professionals and extending the definition of caregivers will help us deal with that shortage and give physicians more bandwidth in improving health.
Recruiters need to understand the type of physician and the skill sets and behavior patterns that are going to fit best within this new health age as we've defined it. Second, recruiters need to know how to develop compensation systems, incentives and rewards — and disincentives and punitive measures to also foster that change in behavior.
Q: ASPR physician recruitment professionals are at all different stages of their careers, have different levels of education and are in different situations (hospitals, clinics, academic settings). Can you help provide a higher-level perspective — a couple of points?
A: Looking from a higher perspective, an easy way to understand the new health age and the future of healthcare in America is divided into two basic categories.
First, it's about creating accountable care models — don't even use the term ACO. Accountable care models are being driven by the private sector (insurance companies and self-funded health plans typically offered by big employers) as well as by Medicare and Medicaid. "Accountable care" is the overarching term to use for new disease management programs, wellness programs, and lifestyle change programs that pay for performance (paying providers bonuses and higher reimbursement to produce better outcomes) on the delivery side. But to truly work, and for the new healthcare age to truly become reality, you have to have an accountable patient. Because if lifestyle factors and other preventable factors are the root causes of these chronic diseases that are driving up costs, at 10:30 at night there is only one force at play that can make the decision when a person opens the refrigerator and asks whether to make that turkey and cheese sandwich: that's the human mind. Behavioral change has to be part of the overall equation. You have to put a system in place that creates accountable care with an accountable patient. Incentives and disincentives will drive both of those at a high level to ultimately reach the outcome of a healthier society bringing down costs and, frankly, accessing the healthcare system less.
"Accountable care" is the overarching term to use for new disease management programs, wellness programs, and lifestyle change programs that pay for performance (paying providers bonuses and higher reimbursement to produce better outcomes) on the delivery side. But to truly work, and for the new healthcare age to truly become reality, you have to have an accountable patient.
I think the progressive healthcare systems in America (not necessarily just the huge ones like Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic) will embrace that they need to bring not just accountable care solutions to the table for their patients, but also solutions that help patients become accountable. You're seeing more of that on the private side, where systems will work with big companies and communities to bring employee wellness programs, disease management programs, more screenings, and more preventive care to the table — and disincentives and incentives on the patient side to make them more accountable for what they're doing. If you step back and think of it that way — that really the future of healthcare is about creating an accountable care delivery system combined with an accountable patient world — everything sort of feeds on that.
Q: We have heard news reports that some large insurers actually welcome some aspects of the Affordable Care Act. How might that play out?
A: The global concepts of what the ACA is trying to achieve is where we are headed. I don't agree with everything in the Affordable Care Act; let me just put that on the table. But if you just look at the big picture level, that's where you will start to see agreement.
Where I think the insurance companies embrace parts of ACA:
We have 50 million Americans right now who don't access the healthcare insurance system and don't access the healthcare system until the most expensive point, in many cases. In Arizona and Florida, skin cancer is an example of a major disease. If you have a growth on your arm, and you catch it early enough in the process, and you can access the healthcare system, and maybe it's an early stage I skin cancer and you have it removed, your success rates and survival rates are typically in the 90th percentile. But if you wait until it gets to stage IV or V cancer, your survival rates plummet and the costs that you create in the overall system skyrocket.
Insurers are realizing that their clients are pushing back. The average cost per employee now for health benefits is $12,000 per year, and that continues to go up at 10 to 15% per year. If there is a way to require those 50 million Americans who are shifting a lot of those costs to the private sector to access the system earlier, and pay into the system earlier, the theory is that everyone will ultimately benefit. You're not waiting until the costs are out of control. You also avoid what the insurance companies call adverse selection; you want some degree of healthy people paying into the insurance system as a preventive measure to help cover the costs of people who are sick. If you only have the sickest people paying into the system, then your overall costs go up. Part of ACA that the insurance industry actually does like is that it forces some of these 50 million Americans who aren't accessing the system to pay something into it while they are healthy. That helps offset the cost for people who really need it and then also brings preventive, proactive care to that group to hopefully reduce the long-term need to access the system to begin with.
Q: In your book, you cite fear, uncertainty and misinformation as key drivers in healthcare right now. What can physician recruitment professional do to address these fears with physicians?
A: I think education, education, education is the most important part of this whole discussion. Unfortunately, the conversation around healthcare in the United States has become way too political. If you become educated by the political system, you're not allowing your logic and analytical skills to process what's really going on; you're becoming manipulated by politicians and by the messages. Education around the true future and getting outside of the political debate is the most important thing ASPR members can do. When you step back from the political chatter — which David and I have been doing for the last several years — and talk to both sides of the political aisle and the private sector, everyone is really in agreement. It's amazing to me. We can talk to a Republican congressman and a Democratic congressman — and on the core issues, they absolutely are in agreement: America is a great country. Our health is not where we want it to be on a physical level, nor where we want it to be on an economic level. We have to fix both those problems to remain a great nation.

Education around the true future and getting outside of the political debate is the most important thing ASPR members can do.
That leads to the question of how to get educated. Certainly, reading our book is a starting point! It's understanding the dynamic flows that we talk about and reaching out to resources that exist all across the country and getting more information — facts and data, not politics — so that people can see the opportunity. Education is step one.
Once people are educated, then in step two, fear actually goes away… A lot of fear is tied to things that have not even happened. The more educated you get that there can be a bright future ahead in healthcare, then your fear will naturally subside. We are working with healthcare systems and providers today that are in early pilot programs of these new health age reimbursement systems that are making more money under the new system for producing healthier patients with better outcomes than they ever made in the old system of a fee-for-service, volume-driven, "the more sick people you take care of the more money you make." When you educate yourself about where this is going — the new reimbursement models and how payers on the private and public side react around wellness and everything — that's an exciting story. I have clients who are making way more money in the new system than under the old system. Yet people get so caught up in the political games that they start losing sight of the themes that are not political.
We are working with managed care companies. HMOs and IPAs (the bad words from the '80s) are reinventing themselves around these new principles and payment systems and bringing new products to the market through Medicare Advantage plans. They're frankly trying to distance themselves from some of the failures that occurred in the past. We are seeing it from the payer side and then also on the systems side.
We are seeing hospital systems directly, or in joint ventures, or in partnership with physicians, creating new accountable care organizations that are implementing these new payment models of the future. I'm working with several ACOs that are in various phases right now and seeing early signs of real success. Dr. Stuart Levine (who is one of the change decision authors in our book) is with HealthCare Partners. They've been so successful with their medical home/ACO model that DaVita just recently acquired HealthCare Partners because DaVita sees the future opportunity of the model. They paid one of the largest multiples I have seen since the dot-com days — like an 8.4 multiple of earnings. I haven't seen that in healthcare ever. It just shows you that Wall Street and the big players on the delivery side are really starting to get around what the new health age is all about and paying big dollars to make that become reality.
It just shows you that Wall Street and the big players on the delivery side are really starting to get around what the new health age is all about and paying big dollars to make that become reality.
It's very exciting. And if you become educated about what's really happening, then the fear naturally falls away. When I sit in a room with physicians, they are usually the ones driving tons of this fear. If you explain that these physicians are going to make more money — creating healthier, happier patients — than they ever made under the 20th Century fee-for-service, the-more-diagnostic-tests-you-perform system, all of a sudden they have hope.
One of the whole purposes of writing the book is to help the country have an intelligent conversation about issues we can all agree on and see where we're going.
If you explain that these physicians are going to make more money — creating healthier, happier patients — than they ever made under the 20th Century fee-for-service, the-more-diagnostic-tests-you-perform system, all of a sudden they have hope.
We are not going to change the entire healthcare system quickly — it's like trying to change the direction of a freight train moving 50 miles per hour. It is going to take time. Where you can get tremendous bang for your buck is incorporating and adopting pilot programs so that you have something you can show medical staff that people can rally around and see that it can really work. That's what's happening with some of the groups I'm working with. They're not trying to take their entire patient populations and throw them into these new accountable care systems. They're taking more chronically ill population groups — where you can achieve some pretty significant savings quickly — and putting those patients in ACO models and showing others how the savings can occur. Then it can grow from that point.
Q: Any closing thoughts, Jonathan?
A: Candidly, the main reason good authors get excited about their work is not the money, but the message. You really are the cheerleaders at the front lines, shaping doctors' perspectives.
I'm not here to celebrate the future or criticize the future. I'm here to describe the future. We all have two choices: We can either move into the future or not.
We can't change healthcare spending using the same modalities that we've used in the 20th Century. It isn't going to work.
There's no doubt that there will be specialty physicians who will lose in the long term. Where I think they will still be OK is because of the demographic issue. Quick example: I'm not sure if I were entering medical school today that I would pursue cardiology as a subspecialty — I would look a lot more at some of the proactive, preventive, disease management specialties if I wanted to be a specialist. We are also going to see a huge resurrection in the importance of primary care/internal medicine physicians. Because overall disease management, being driven by the primary care marketplace, is where many of the new structures are going. Primary care physicians will quarterback many of the changes. It is important for recruiters to know that there are going to be some specialties that are hurt more than others.
It is important for recruiters to know that there are going to be some specialties that are hurt more than others.
In a quote from Jonathan's website, thenewhealthage.com, the author, attorney and physician advisor urges Americans to continue to educate themselves about this dynamic period in healthcare. "The pursuit and the eventual acquisition of it, whether we obtain it through education, life lessons, or otherwise, is what separates great citizens from all others; because without knowledge, humankind has no basis upon which to see a better tomorrow. Without knowledge, we simply exist versus contribute..."

An Unnecessary Deep Dive Into the Magic of Netflix's Holiday Movie Universe
Beth Elderkin
Filed to:christmas

Time travel, sorceresses, curses, ghosts, human cloning. Netflix has officially established a Holiday Movie Universe, connecting several of its Hallmark-style seasonal films through references and Easter eggs. What this has done is create a fantasy realm where Christmas can sustain a country's economy, hot chocolate is an aphrodisiac, and, oh yeah, magic exists.
Netflix recently released a series of tweets breaking down what it's calling "Netflix's Holiday Movie Universe," (we'll use NHMU for short) which consists of a series of holiday films on its streaming service. The first to emerge was 2017's A Christmas Prince, which starred iZombie's Rose McIver as an investigative reporter named Amber who goes undercover with the royal family of Aldovia to find out some dirt on the future king. What does she find? Love.
Netflix has expanded its holiday movie empire into eight films and counting with films like The Holiday Calendar, about a magical advent calendar, and The Princess Switch, which stars Vanessa Hudgens in the dual role of a duchess and baker who switch places and then, of course, find love. A Christmas Prince itself has spawned two sequels, The Royal Wedding and The Royal Baby—it's basically the Skywalker saga of the NHMU. You might think the only magic in these holiday films is the magic of the season, but you would be wrong. These movies are connected in a way that not only has created a cinematic universe, but have also brought magic into each and every one of them.
That's the sorceress in the background. And no, they never explain how she got there.
It all starts with The Knight Before Christmas, which came out last month and is a movie you absolutely should watch. It also stars Hudgens, this time as a science teacher named Brooke who falls in love with a 14th century knight. Thanks to a magic medallion from a sorceress (who the movie lovingly names Old Crone), Sir Cole (Josh Whitehouse) traveled forward in time to fulfill a quest so he could become a "true knight." We never find out what that quest is though because all he does is obsess over hot chocolate, make bread, and sponsor a Christmas Eve dinner. I guess his quest was love because, yeah, he and Brooke do that.
The Knight Before Christmas Looks Dumb as Hell and of Course I'm Going to Watch It
Netflix is releasing its own Hallmark Christmas version of Kate and Leopold and I'm thrilled that…
So, we've established that magic is real in The Knight Before Christmas. Brooke witnesses Sir Cole travel back to his own time, and it seems like everyone else has accepted that he's from the 14th century. The movie even has a post-credits scene where the sorceress sets her time-traveling eye on Sir Cole's brother, meaning we're likely going to see even more magical shenanigans in a sequel. And here is where things get...interesting.
The Knight Before Christmas includes a scene where Brooke's sister tells her daughter about an acorn ornament that their family brought back from a trip to Aldovia. That means Aldovia—and by extension, A Christmas Prince—exist in the world of The Knight Before Christmas. And therefore, so does magic.
I'm pretty sure "beshrew" is a verb.
This is further cemented in A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby. The third film in the franchise centers around Queen Amber and her husband needing to sign a peace treaty before midnight on Christmas Eve (that deadline always exists in these movies for some reason), otherwise Aldovia and the neighboring country of Penglia will automatically return to a state of war. But that's not all: The king's sister finds out that if they don't sign the treaty, the baby will be cursed.
Apparently, a sorceress placed a spell over the treaty to ensure that it would never be broken. The Queen Mother tells her daughter that there's nothing to worry about, because curses are silly superstitions that fell out of fashion "centuries ago." But there is something to worry about. Have you been paying attention? Magic is real, lady! (There are also rumors of a ghost in the dungeon. This is technically neither confirmed nor denied, so I'm going to assume it's true.)
The Vanessa Hudgens clones prepare to strike!
It doesn't end there. The Royal Baby confirms a canonical connection to The Princess Switch, as we see a map showing that Aldovia and Belgravia are neighboring nations, and there's a mention that Belgravia's ruler married a non-royal (which totally happened). This realization opens up the possibility that there could be another reason for two women who look exactly like Vanessa Hudgens being in the same universe together. Scratch that, three Vanessa Hudgens: They're working on a sequel to The Princess Switch that introduces another lookalike. Oh wait, there's also the Vanessa Hudgens of The Knight Before Christmas, which is indirectly tied to The Princess Switch by way of A Christmas Prince. That makes four Vanessa Hudgens!
Seriously: Why are there at least four women who all look alike and equally love the holiday season traipsing around the globe, seemingly unaware of each other until some holiday-based hijinks bring them together? Is this a magical Orphan Black situation where the sorceress from The Knight Before Christmas (who might possibly be the same one from The Royal Baby) experimented with cloning to create multiple Vanessa Hudgens because the world can never have too much of her?
7 Non-Traditional Versions of A Christmas Carol to Warm Your Cold, Cold Heart
It's the day after Thanksgiving, which means the floodgates are open on Christmas. But before you…
But, that's not all. Oh no, no, no, we haven't reached the bottom of this well yet.
There's one more way the NHMU is connected, and that's through the movies themselves. Several of the films feature scenes where other films in the NHMU are playing on television. For example, A Christmas Prince is spotted in The Holiday Calendar and The Princess Switch, and Holiday in the Wild is part of a major scene in The Knight Before Christmas (along with a weird corporate tie-in with Alexa, but that's another story). Of course, if you try and think about that for a split second, your brain will explode. The Princess Switch and A Christmas Prince are linked...but Vanessa Hudgens is also watching A Christmas Prince on television? Does that mean A Christmas Prince is a documentary? Or, perhaps, is it magic?
There isn't a scene where she's not holding her baby belly like that. Seriously, it's weird.
Only time will tell whether we get the epic NHMU crossover we deserve, like we have with Marvel's Avengers and the holiday characters of Rankin/Bass. But even if we don't get a two-part movie where Queen Amber and Sir Cole team up to save all the Vanessa Hudgens of the world from having their sleeper cell triggers activated, which an evil anti-sorceress had implanted in them to make them kill the spirit of Christmas once and for all, it'll be okay.
Because it's a magical time of year, and there's no way better to celebrate it than by adding a little bit of magic into our lives. In the case of the NHMU, it's probably a lot more magic than they bargained for.
