I need you to be YOU!
Recently, I was having a discussion with the Lord. I just started talking to Him about my insecurities that I so badly want to overcome. I spent a good 2 hours talking, worshiping, just being with Him. I began singing that He would give me His eyes to see myself as He does. To give me His ears to hear how He hears me. To give me His heart for me so that I can love myself as He does. It was then that I realized... we pray to see everyone else through His eyes and to love others as He does, but we tend to bypass the necessity of KNOWING our value to Him!
All my life, growing up in the church, I have taken on the mindset of the religious leaders who so humbly point out that " We are but dust" ! That " We are nothing"..without Him. That "Our righteousness is as filthy rags". From the pulpit it is often pointed out to us that " God doesn't need us".
Right? I mean, am I the only one who has heard these things? Am I the only one who has believed this with a false humility??
I'm 31 years old now and have certainly come a long way in my understanding of my (God's) Papa Love's heart for us. But I must say, it's because Holy Spirit has taught me, not man. I understand,now, the context in which they were speaking.... sometimes. But, to me, a pastor pointing those things out doesn't show the Father's Heart towards us. It's almost like, through their personal struggle with pride, they overcompensate by making sure everyone checks their heart and "humbles" themselves before the Lord. Even if we aren't struggling with pride, but joyfully walking with Him.
I'm very visual. When I see a pastor leading the church in an almost shaming way, but stamping it with humility, I see God hovering over us, with our heads bowed down, and His nose turned up to us.
That mindset keeps the church, body of Christ, sick and broken. Not whole. And how can we ever expect the lost to want to be part of that? If you want to heal and be a vessel for God to express His love to the world, you're first going to have to see yourself as He does and stop identifying yourself with your sin!
We were created in the image of God!
We are Heirs with Christ! We are the apple of His Eye! We are His Beloved! He calls us friend! We are more precious that rubies! We are Redeemed! We were given dominion! All that is His is ours! We were created purposefully! And on and on and on...!
That is how significant YOU are to HIM! You living in your fullest potential in which He created you for is necessary for His Love to be expressed to this world and for the church, His body, to function as it ought to!
I began to have a revelation. He compared the physical body to the Church.
Christ is the Head, of course. He began to show me that when we aren't careful to feed ourselves nutritiously, then we naturally throw off certain functions of the body. Either parts overcompensate or shut down completely. And if an organ, for example, isn't able to function properly, neither is the rest of the body. It may take time to notice the negative effects throughout the rest of the body, but if it continues to be ignored then ailment will begin to take over.... and likely even death.
I feel the need to point out that food isn't the only factor. God SPOKE everything into existence. Which means, at the very beginning of everything is frequency. It's actually the frequency that affects us. That said, our words affect the body. Even our thoughts. You can really make a list of things and you will be fascinated by all that affects your physical body! Of course, I can really go into this on a deeper level, but I'd rather encourage you to ask Holy Spirit to take you on that journey of revelation.
How does this mirror the church? The body of Christ. We are the church. We make up the body of Christ. Can we all agree on that truth?
Let me wrap this up and give you a starting point of discovering a new perspective on this matter. When you find yourself talking with a fellow believer, ask God to reveal to you their function in the Body so that you can edify them to optimal health! Whether or not you understand their process. Because, honestly, you NEED them to be who they are called to be so that YOU function optimally! We aren't individual bodies, unaffected by other believers. Even the believer living across the world, whom you may not even know, affects the Body! So PRAY for the Church! And pray for revelation and strategy!
Guys, this right here is life as we should know it! If you want to see the Church whole, detox yourself and "resonate" as you were created to!
I'm truly wanting to know, what part of the physical body describes your function in the church? Ask God and leave me a comment below! I KNOW that I am part of the "nervous system", so to speak. I look forward to hearing from you!!
During one of my rants this morning to the Lord, I learned quite a bit! It's funny, actually... Hey all you men out there, sometimes a woman just needs to talk things out in order to process. We soon know when we are overreacting and you don't even have to say a thing! Just be sweet like Jesus, ok?
I was talking to the Lord about my frustrations with my deep desire for a marriage relationship yet, I'm of a mind that no man is trustworthy. Clearly those two don't go together. And please hear me, I don't want to agree with those thoughts. It's really all I have personal experience with. And this doesn't even necessarily reflect on individual relationships I've been in. It's really my mindset that has attracted men like that into my life. Maybe my expectation of men to prove themselves dishonest is actually what inspired it to ring true. You know what I mean? The law of attraction is a real thing guys. And it's not some New Age thing you've gotta be scared of. But I'll get into that in a bit. I like to give my readers a clear background before going into the issue at hand. In a nutshell, my first encounter with desire from a male was at the early age of 5. This, I know, is actually a more common story than you'd think. Sad, but true. I was sexually abused a handful of times in my young years. I kept that hidden for quite some years, though. However, it shaped my view of men AND my self-worth. Because of those unfortunate traumatic events in my life, I felt that lust was all I had to offer a man. I believed it's all they ultimately wanted. Any man that wasn't crude from the beginning and expressed interest in me was " a liar". I was uncomfortable around "good" men. I battled over the issue within myself. Either I was unworthy of being with a good man, or I ultimately trusted them less than the obvious lust-driven men.
That was a big nutshell, I've noticed.
Let me just start by giving God the glory and praising His name for His faithfulness and unfailing love! I randomly clicked on this untitled draft of mine and, to my amazement, was reading part of my testimony I was just going over in my head over the past two days! It's a testimony in progress, but aren't all?
Shortly after I brought the above issue to the Lord, things began to shift drastically! God began working out this desire of my heart, while addressing the issue at the same time. By the end of November of last year I found myself faced with an opportunity that took me by surprise. You see, at the time I had recently redeveloped a friendship with an ex I hadn't spoken with in exactly a year from breaking up. I had just started going to a school at our church and he was a second year there. He was one of the "good" guys I had dated and ended up breaking up with, ultimately out of fear and wounds from my past. From the outside looking in, there was no good reason at all to have ended our relationship then. ( Honestly, even before we began dating God had revealed him as an answered prayer to me and my children) . But I was still of a mind that I will not wait to be fooled, and I will leave before I get left.
This school I started going to was a School of Transformation. It was designed to help the students discover their identity in Christ and to begin living out of that truth. Healing is inevitable... and painful. But, like anything with God, if you say " Yes" to His leading He will walk you through it all the way. School began in August and I saw my ex 3 times a week and didn't begin speaking with him until October, really. A lot of healing had already begun. However, I was still stubbornly keeping a wall up, like I still had something to prove to myself. I didn't see him as ever becoming more than a friend from this point on. I'd frequently make comments about it to him, jokingly. Rude and immature, I know, but it was a defense mechanism .
Fast forward to late November. We had coffee and talked for a while. And that's when it began, for me. I don't even think he was aware. I don't even know if he was interested in being more than friends. In fact, I don't think he even allowed himself to consider it. You see, I was talking to him for a good 20 minutes about my life's drama and he just listened the entire time. Then he responded to everything with such genuine concern and wise advice. I was shocked, really. I mean, I would have expected him to tune me out. I wouldn't have even blamed him! Then, God got my attention. Holy Spirit challenged me to observe my feelings throughout that evening in my interaction with him. I felt peace, and safety, and in a moment I had realized that he is the first man I knew I could completely trust! The following week I couldn't stop thinking about him and how I felt. I began a dialogue with the Lord, asking Him if His hand is on this relationship. He assured me it was. So then I asked, " so, should I pursue it?" His response to me revealed an aspect of God I never really processed before. He said to me," Do you desire to? My desire if for your desire, too." I have a choice, I realized. In a different way than how I used to think. I always knew we have freewill. But I also thought that I was at risk of passing up the right choice for a wrong choice, based on my desires. As though my desires innately conflicted with right choices, except for the rare exceptions. How did I begin even thinking that? I didn't realize I thought that way until I was challenged with the truth. Anyway, through that I was challenged to commit to my desire before stepping into a relationship. I felt such a freedom in knowing that I was choosing this man out of my freewill and desire, and not just because I felt it was God's will and I had to. God would have blessed me regardless. But it's the best feeling knowing you're partnering with Him in your destiny with anticipation and a willingness!
So, a lot has happened since then. He agreed to give it another shot and, 9 months later, we are only a few short months away from our wedding date!! He is a miracle man to this family! He treats my kids as his own and they love him! He has so much patience and grace in living in the chaos of our lives and dealing with an ex that refuses peace. He's a protector, a leader, a man after God's own heart. And he is my answer to so many prayers, in such great detail!
Yes, I still have a lot of healing to go through. I still need my mindset to be transformed concerning men and trust. Which actually reveals that I still haven't fully accepted my true identity in Christ. But it's a process. I know, I too have grown to hate hearing the word " process" because it seems like it takes forever, right?! Well, it actually does, until we are no longer in this world. We are always going from glory to glory, always transforming until we are fully out of our flesh and in our eternal bodies. So, we should just accept that process is good and promising!
As I close this article, I want to encourage you to constantly bring the desires of your heart before the Lord. Even if you feel undeserving of receiving great desires, share them with Him. His greatest desire is to be in relationship with you, where you know you can ask anything of Him and trust Him to give you those desires, so long as they don't harm you. That's the thing about God, He is ONLY good! He would never give you your desire if it would harm you. That's a huge deal! That knowledge of His goodness is a weapon in itself! For example, when I begin to be afraid that I'm going to get the rug pulled out from underneath me in my relationship, I remind myself that God would not have orchestrated such a thing. And God reminds me,too, through the comfort of His Holy Spirit! If you are faithful to bring things before the Lord regularly, seeking Him and His will first, you won't be led astray because He says He will direct your path! It takes discipline to remain active in your relationship with Jesus, as it does for any relationship. He's literally always there, wanting to be invited and talked to. And He wants to relax with you, laugh with you, and cry with you. Grasp the reality of His nearness and lean into it. Never give up! It's all going to be worth it!!


On the evening of August 24, the staff at the University Meadows, on the south campus of the University of Missouri-St. Louis created and put on an awesome event known as The Watermelon Feast for its new, returning and International residents. People had to bring a canned good to donate to the Pagedale Community Center, or in lieu of a canned good, they could bring a dollar.
According to Arron Winter, night and weekend programming graduate assistant, this is one of two events that the Meadows puts on annually in order to benefit the Pagedale Community Center, as well as local farmers. "I know all the watermelon came from Global Farmer's Market here in Normandy," Winter said.
The event offered a live band while students walked about, eating the succulent fruit. Guests entertained themselves by taking part in a volleyball tournament, and a watermelon face painting and decorating contest. "I am excited for the music," Erica Preiss, senior, criminal justice, said.
The watermelon decorating table drew in students by the number, some expressing their artistic skill through rainbows. By the end of the day, there was a whole table of fancy fruit, best in show going to a melon with headphones made from pipe cleaners. Other materials included, but were not limited to paints, stick on eyeballs and glitter.
The volleyball tournament started after increasing numbers of well-fed students began looking for a way to increase their energy. Not one to sit around, Meadows Leasing Assistant, Ashley Aubuchon, junior, nursing, got the game going.
What started as a few players warming up turned into a tournament of healthy competition. Both team and community spirit seemed to run rampant, and everyone was having a great time. Players were having fun while promoting a good cause.
The band, comprised of members of the on-campus Mu Alpha, performed as a cover band, covering tunes made famous by popular rock bands. "I like the live band, I know the drummer, and I like to eat watermelon too, so it is pretty cool," Nikki Wiltshire, junior, communications, said. Lead singer, Dave Jackson, senior, liberal studies, paired with the rest of the band, to give a superb performance, belting out popular tunes such as "Welcome to the Jungle," "Seven Nation Army," "Sweet Child of Mine," and "Free bird." People sat by the pool listening to guitar riffs of classic rock songs.
Students were clapping and dancing around the pool, causing more people to flood out of their apartments and join the festivities. There was a colorful, light-hearted mood in the air.
Student, Yazeed Abohaimed, sophomore, business administration, came out for the band's guitarist, Cesar Molina. "I am glad I am supporting my friend's band," Abohaimed said.
As the event began to wind down, people were carrying leftover melon slices and whole melons back to their apartments.

What 30 Caliber Bullet for Bison?
Discussion in 'Long Range Hunting & Shooting' started by rangerman, Jan 11, 2013.
I'm shooting the 300 RUM in a semi-custom Rem Model 700 Sendero with a Douglas 28" 1 in 10" twist barrel. I have a great load worked up using the 215 Berger Hybrid bullet that has allowed me to take two nice whitetail bucks the last two years - one at 586 yards and one at 634 yards both one shot DRT.
While this bullet has performed exceptionally well on whitetail deer I realize it might not be the best bullet for larger and heavier boned game such as bison which I may have an opportunity to hunt later this year. I was thinking about working up some loads using either the 200 grain Nosler Accubond or Partition. Would these bullets be better than the Berger for bison or would you guys think the Berger would be OK? I don't expect the ranges to exceed 300 to 400 yards. Any advice is much appreciated.
Interesting, I was just talking to a coworker last night who had taken a Bison last weekend with a .300win. I would recommend a heavy for caliber bullet such as the A-Frame or Barnes starting at 200grains. They can absorb a heck of a lot of lead but aren't bullet proof. The Berger might work, I have no idea i've never used them.
Rangerman, As I stated in the other thread to your question, I have never taken a bison. But we too many elk with the 215 Berger. I don't see Bison as a hurry up deal so you should be able to put the bullet right where you want. For me that would be in the crease right behind the shoulder. Also in this below thread we took 19 big game animals with the 215 Berger. There are pics of entrances, exits and destroyed vitals. Look it over and see what you think.
Bison are very large animals and In my opinion need large, well constructed bullets.
My choices would be the 200 grain Accubond or the 220 grain Partition at those distances.
also work well but they are getting hard to find.
Load at or near the top pressures and they should hammer that big Buff.
We had a hunt for buffalo and there was some rules to caliber and bullet weight for our hunt. It had to a 30 cal or larger, a 180 gr bullet weight minimum. Our guide recommended Nosler partition or similar bullet construction. You had to be able to shoot a 2" 5 shot group @ 100 yards. Shots are typically under 200 yards with the majority at around 100 yards. The guide said that his preferred set up was a 338 with 225 gr or 250 gr bullets. I shot mine with a 300 win mag 190 [email protected] 125 yards. Dad used his 45-70 @ 75 yards and a 300 gr or 350 gr bullet. You have more than enough time for shot placement in our experience. I hope this helps a little. If I had any advice I would say error on the side of heavy bullets they are large animals.
My advice would be go Barnes or Hammer. We had a large Bison bull a friend of mine got he used a 300WM and 180 Barnes MRX bullets. The range was about 150yds and the bullets stopped on the off side hide. These are thick tough creatures that bullet only hit ribs for bone. Go monolithic solids and be confident.
shooter7, HARPERC, Doublezranch and 2 others like this.
i would check on shot placement on bison. i helped my brother take one a few years ago up by gardner montana. there is a little balled patch kind of behind the front leg low in the chest, that is 1 spot. the other is down and behind the ear. that's the one we chose. the bull dropped in its track.
as far as the hunts go, there an easy hunt. if you can tell where there going you can just get in front of them and wait. if it's a farm hunt that a little different.
are you hunting a game farm or did you get a tag for some place? i have a few more tips if your interested as far as gutting them and getting the meat out.
here is a pic of my brothers bull. it dosnt look that big in the pic on the ground but that's camera tricks. the other pic i. the truck gives a little better idea of what the size of one can be. this bull scored around the middle of the book and it was measured about 2 years after he got it.
I second the shot behind the ear. I have been part of 10 buffalo harvest in S.D. and the rancher always takes that shot. 215 berger will work great. He uses 300wm and 180 accubond.
I would NOT use the Berger. I shoot the 215 Berger out of my RUM and it works good in certain situations. Not on a Bison. I would go 220 Partition or 200 Accubond, no question.
I have a buddy out here who drew a cow bison tag for the Henry Mountains, south of here. He is one tough old bird, raised in Telluride, Co and almost half mountain goat. He said the three days it ook him to get his cow was the toughest hunt of his life! Granted, these are wild as March hares, but my point, he shot his cow with his one and only rifle since 1970 (High School) a BLR .308 with 150gr corlokts ammo. He loads his own, but at factory speeds. He shot it in the crease behind the shoulder, top of the heart and he said a 1 inch thick "rope of blood" pumped right out in seconds! ha He was about 150yds from her. Myself? I'd take my 35 Whelen AI and a 200 to 250X ( I still have some 250 on hand) "maybe" my 310 Woodleighs. Don't overcook them, they are so lean they'll wear your jaw muscles out eating a steak, but its so good!
FWIW - I shot a bison at 120yds with my 375Ruger and the 260gr Nosler Partition bullet. The first shot hit him behind the shoulder in the crease. The bull never even flinched and it appeared that I missed. The bull turned 180 degrees and presented the opposite broadside shot. I took careful aim and squeezed off another shot, again hitting him behind the (opposite) shoulder. The bull shuddered at impact t but just stood there. I chambered a third round but noticed that he began to wobble. He eventually fell over. I swear I thought the ground shook when the big bull hit the ground.
Skinning the bull out revealed two perfectly placed shots, one from each side. Both bullets were recovered in the off-side hide and were perfectly mushroomed.
Bison can soak up a significant amount of lead. My suggestion would be to use the heaviest bullet of strong construction. Bison are typically taken at short range so accuracy isn't nearly as important as bullet construction.
The Rum is certainly plenty of gun for the job but you're definitely right about the bullet.
For myself I'd shoot the heaviest Peregrine VLR that will stabilize in your rifle next to that I'd go with probably the Swift A Frame and net the Partition.
To make a good shot on a bison you have to get through some really tough, dirty, likely mud packed fur, an extremely tough hide and if you do hit bone it's very large and dense bone and then you still need to get to and through the vitals with substantial remaining energy.

Painting Realistic Trees
Hobbies Fine Arts & Crafts
by Marion Boddy-Evans
Marion Boddy-Evans is an artist living on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. She has written for art magazines blogs, edited how-to art titles, and co-authored travel books.
Get to Know What Tree You're Looking At
Image: © Marion Boddy-Evans. Licensed to About.com, Inc.
Trees are not cardboard cutouts with brown trunks and leaves that are simply green if it's summer, red if it's autumn, or absent if it's winter. The 'secret' to painting believable trees is an understanding of the underlying structure of trees complemented by observation of different species.
Compile a file or sketchbook with your notes, sketches, and even bits of bark and leaves. Buy yourself a tree identification guide (a comprehensive one, not a pocket one) and learn the names and characteristics of individual species. Read the descriptions in the tree guide and compare it to what you're seeing.
Another place to learn more about trees and tree identification is the Foresty section on About.com, starting with the articles on Basic Tree Anatomy and Identification and how to begin a Tree Leaf Collection. If you're living in North America, you should also check out the Forestry Guide's Recommended North American Tree Identification Books.
Recognise the Shapes of Tree Species
One of the fundamentals to successfully painting realistic trees is learning to recognize the characteristic shapes of different species. Look at the overall appearance of the tree and identify the overall shape of the tree.
Is it shaped like a sphere, umbrella, cone, or tube, or is it simply irregular? Is it short or tall, fat or thin, straight or spread irregularly? Do the branches point upwards or downwards? Are the leaves dense or sparse? Has it spread naturally, has got broken branches, or has a gardener pruned it?
And remember to look at the tree's root system. Trees don't just stick up out of the ground.
Tree Trunks, Branches, Leaves, Colors
Simplify what you're wanting to paint by breaking up a tree into its components. Observe these individually, rather than as a whole, before you start painting.
Trunks:
Taper the width of the trunk from bottom to top, as well as branches and twigs.
For more character, paint trunks sideways in small strokes rather from top to bottom in one long stroke.
Trees in dense woodland tend to be vertical; lone trees may be angled due to wind.
Branches aren't straight, aren't the same width throughout, and don't grow parallel to each other.
Avoid putting branches opposite each other on a tree trunk; trees aren't symmetrical unless they've been pruned that way.
Make branches cross over each other to create depth. Add appropriate shadows.
Leave gaps in the foliage and show branches in the gaps.
It's insane to try to attempt to paint every leaf on a tree. Look at the leaves as a mass (or groups of color), not individuals.
Trunks and branches aren't a simple, uniform brown. Study the bark of different trees up close not only for texture, but also for color, and make notes. Look at the color of new growth, old, and dead branches. For example, gum trees have silvery creams and oaks grays. Is there any moss or fungus growing on the bark?
Trees in a woodland receding into the distance aren't all the same green. Aerial perspective applies and benefits from a bit of exaggeration.
Look out for highlights reflecting the blue of the sky. Early morning sunshine will add a warm, golden glow.

Military Research Advice Needed
by Irishkiwi » Fri Apr 25, 2014 8:46 pm
My gg grandfather ROBERT McLARNON enlisted on 28 Nov 1817 at HQ District Dundalk Ireland and served with the 45th Regiment of Foot (Sherwood Forresters) in Burma and India. He had three sons the first two verified (birth certs) as being born in Moulmein, Burma the youngest one to confirm but understand born India.
Timeline for ROBERT McLARNON with some estimations
Birth date : 1799 Parish of Artrea, Derry,NORTHERN IRELAND
Enlisted in army : 1817 age 18yrs
First son born : 1829 ( Thomas Robert ) - 30 yrs
Second son born : 1830 ( William George) - 31 yrs
Third son born : 1831 (James Alexander) 32 yrs
Died : Nov 1835 36 years
He died in Secuderaband,India on 24 Nov 1835. As yet have not found the marriage licence for Robert Mclarnon and Margaret Brown. I do not know where ROBERT is buried but do have his will.
States on his army records the following: "His wife MARGARET (who was nee BROWN) with three children enroute to Europe with a number of women"
I then have found she remarried a ANDREW SCALLAN on 7th Jan 1837 in the Parish of St Margaret near Rochester in the County of Kent. States he was of the parish and she was a widow of the Parish of Chatham ,Kent .
MY QUERY is :How did she travel back to England? A two year gap before she remarried so how did she live? I have looked up that perhaps? she may have lived at the Brompton Barracks (to confirm) but would she have received a widows pension. Have looked at National Archives in the Uk but did soldiers wives receive a pension ? Where did the children go to school. ? Also at some stage they seemed to have returned to Northern Ireland .
I have ANDREW SCALLAN'S army records. He left Charlemont in Northern Ireland in 1848 with Margaret and came to NZ as a Fencible .

Congratulations on so much information! Would be interested to know how you got his service record - or was it passed down through the family?
Have you read this history of the 45th Regt Ft? See Chapter 10 of this book: http://www.archive.org/stream/historythstnott00dalbgoog#page/n160/mode/2up which details the service in Burmah and South India. From this, it appears that the Regiment was in Ceylon for a period before going to Burmah. If you look at page 138 you will see that it details the numbers of deaths from fever at Secunderabad where there is (or was) a regimental memorial.
Robert and Margaret could have met and married before leaving Ireland, in Ceylon, in Madras presidency of India or in Burmah. If any of the places outside of Ireland she may well have been a widow of another soldier.
How did Margaret get home? Well, of course the smart answer is by ship! I was going to suggest that she returned with the remainder of the regiment, but she must have gone before them. She was probably looked after by the Regiment - after all she was British as were her children - rather than mixed race which would have resulted in them staying in India. So, she would have embarked with some other returning soldiers, wives, widows etc, but I think it unlikely, though not impossible, that you will find her listed by name on a passenger list - she may be included in, e.g. "5 widows and 10 children of various regiments". You could try on FIBIS http://www.fibis.org in the database for passenger arrivals and departures transcribed from the Madras Almanacs 1810-1860.
Good hunting! Sylvia

Hi Sylvia
Thank you so much for your reply.
I originally about ten years ago hired a professional researcher specialising in military in England to get the copies for me as live in NZ.I collected them from my daughter whom lives in East Sussex when I visited.
They have given me a wealth of information to go on.
They were from the WO 22 ,WO 23,WO 25, & WO 97 from National Archives. I have found some myself i.e. The will and his widows second marriage .
It has been so much easier these days with the internet access than when I first started 34 yrs ago.
I have a copy of the book and one presumes Robert died of epidemic but unsure as have no record how he died on his army papers.
My understanding of timeline is yes they married in Ireland and then went to Burma and India with regiment. Upon reading found very few wives accompanied their husbands overseas in the army. I stand to be corrected.
Margaret left India in 1835 when Robert died and the regiment (45Th) did not return until March of 1838 to Gravesend.
I will check out the FIBIS in case. Everything is worth looking at. Its those long shots that sometimes pay of.
Do you know much about the barracks at Chatham in 1835.? Would it have been the logic for her to return to Gravesend to and because she was close to Chatham ended up there?

"How did she travel back to England? ... would she have received a widows pension"
Suggest you have a look at this link on the Victorian Wars Forum http://www.victorianwars.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=463&hilit=researching+army+wives - on the 1st page it collects a number of frequent answers - see in particular the post by "Liz" on 09 Mar 2009 05:49.
"Liz" refers to Wives' Entitlements - what facilities were made a/v to them; was there a widow's pension (no - not till much later), etc. She does suggest that it was likely that the regiment would pay for her passage back to the UK.
As for where she went to in the UK - "Liz" does mention work-houses and places of settlement. A widow would be regarded as officially settled in her late husband's parish of settlement, regardless of where she came from. This makes me wonder if her Robert had gained settlement in Chatham through birth, residence or employment in the parish. Not sure if this is likely - otherwise an Army depot town might have lots of potential ex-soldier paupers...???? The point is that a widow with no visible means of support would get moved on to her official parish of settlement, which was her late husband's. So what happened to Margaret and why, I'm not sure, but the effect of the Poor Law is something to think about.

There was an allowable number of wives to be "taken on the strength" of the regiment when their husband was posted overseas. However, am struggling to remember the number, may be 1 in a 100. This allowance would usually apply to men who had served in the regiment for some years and/or married for several years when they joined, or had already been promoted to at least Corporal. A sergeant for instance would have an instant entitlement to take wife and family with him.
The following is a quote from p.82 of Michael & Christopher Watts' book "My Ancestor Was In The British Army":
The Army had always disapproved of marriage ..... but had authorised a ratio of 6 women to 100 men up to the first half of the 19th century. This proportion was strictly applied when regiments embarked for foreign service. These 'on the strength' wives were actually allowed to live with their husbands, usually in an area screened by blankets at the end of the barrack room, in return for performance of chores such as cleaning, cooking and mending.
PS Am surprised you mentioned WO97 as a source of records - these have been indexed and I have not found McLarnon's name included (even under an alternative spelling), but would not in any case have expected to find a record as he died in service! However, thanks for sharing the source information.

Yes some of the books make interesting reading on army life The book -
Women of the Regiment: Marriage and the Victorian Army - By Myna Trustram I am finding very good.
The name for the WO 97 - (Royal Hospital Chelsea Soldiers Service) was for Andrew Scallan Margaret's second husband.
I have found information in the most unlikeliest of places. In Ancestry under Canada,British Regimental Registers of Service, 1756 -1900 very useful.
by AdrianB38 » Sun Apr 27, 2014 9:01 am
Worth pointing out for others reading this that the Canadian connection in some of those collections is minimal. It's about British regiments that served in Canada at some time in their history - the soldiers in Ancestry may have never left the UK.

For me I found it very strange for my ancestor to be under that heading as he served with the 45th Regiment which from my understanding of his army records had never even went to Canada only serving in Burma and India before 1835.
This being my saying of finding people in the most unlikeliest places.
by AdrianB38 » Sun Apr 27, 2014 11:17 pm
According to Wikipedia, the 45th left Canada / USA in 1783. So that's the service that led to the regiment's papers appearing in Ancestry regardless of date. As we said - unexpected.

John Dingell: Trump is cruel, needs prayers, says Nancy Pelosi
Thursday, December 19, 2019 9:01 pm | US | 0 Comment(s)
Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi.
US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that President Donald Trump needs prayer. She was reacting to what she called his cruel swipe at the late Rep. John Dingell during a raucous impeachment-day rally in Michigan.
"Let us pray. Let us pray for the president,"she said at a news conference in Washington, a day after the historic impeachment of Trump for abuse of office and obstruction of Congress.
"What the president misunderstands is that cruelty is not wit.
"Just because he gets a laugh for saying the cruel things that he says doesn't mean he's funny. It's not funny at all. It's very sad."
Late John Dingell and his wife Debbie: attacked by impeached Donald Trump
Trump's targeting of the longtime Michigan Democrat drew a swift rebuke from his widow, who has succeeded her husband in the House.
She said on Twitter: "Mr. President, let's set politics aside. My husband earned all his accolades after a lifetime of service. I'm preparing for the first holiday season without the man I love. You brought me down in a way you can never imagine and your hurtful words just made my healing much harder".
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told ABC's "Good Morning America" that Trump was "just riffing" when he spoke about Dingell at the Wednesday night rally.
She said she didn't know why Trump decided to suggest that Dingell was in hell.


It is exciting when research findings can be disseminated in ways besides traditional academic articles. See recent examples below.
Dr Harrist spoke about her research on Sept 8, 2016, at Carson-Newman University as part of their Great Ideas Lecture series. Watch her 35-min talk, You Can't Say You Can't Play: Social Acceptance as Justice, on YouTube.
Dr. Harrist was featured in an episode of a documentary television series called, Real Families, Real Answers. The episode was about "Effective Parenting" (Watch it here). Visit the program website or supplementary website. The series has aired on cable's BYU Television. It also has a college curriculum that accompanies it.
Dr. Harrist's research and Will Rogers Elementary in Stillwater, OK, are featured in a full-length documentary titled Reject. Visit the film's website: Rejectfilm.com. The documentary is currently being aired at various locales across the U.S. and will come to OSU in Spring 2014 during Human Sciences Week.
Dr. Harrist did a pilot intervention project based on Vivian Paley's book, You Can't Say, You Can't Play, was funded by the Hogg Foundation in Texas. Subsequently, the intervention was included in the FiSH Study as part of the obesity intervention, with the assumption that overweight children would do better in school if they were accepted by classmates and included in play rather than being rejected or excluded. The documentary Reject features this research as well as neuropsychology and social psychology research about the harmful effects of social rejection for children as well as adults.
Facebook Page for REJECT documentary featuring Terry Varnell's kindergarten class in Stillwater, OK, where we filmed implementation of the You Can't Say You Can't Play program.
This press released was picked up by > 30 popular press venues, including online versions of Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, Huffington Post, Science Daily, Health Day, Psych Central, and People Magazine. It also appeared internationally.
Research from the SDL on social withdrawal was featured in an article in Parents magazine.
Megan Reilly was still in high school when she and her sister's dance business first found its legs. Her older sister Sarah Nuse needed some quick cash to make a car payment, so her mom suggested the two girls offer dance classes to local daycares in their hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas. More than a decade later, Tippi Toes Dance Company is still going strong, with 10 franchises across the country.
Sarah Nuse and Megan Reilly appeared on Shank Tank to raise capital for their Tippi Toes Dance Company. In an effort to fuel their expansion, Reilly and Nuse appeared on Shark Tank in 2011. They spent about an hour in the tank, during which Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, offered them $100,000 for a 30 percent stake in the company. But after the taping, multiple meetings with Cuban and his team resulted in Tippi Toes deciding not to proceed. "Making the deal meant losing some of the control and some of the spirit we had," Reilly, now 29, explains.
Their decision to decline the offer doesn't mean Shark Tank was a waste of time, however. "The show gave us a ton of exposure, and got a lot of kids and their parents interested in our classes," Reilly says. She and Nuse, now 31, soon plan to open franchises in New York and Chicago, as well as the start of production for Tippi Toes DVDs. "It's so exciting being a young entrepreneur," Reilly says. "I've got the rest of my life to make this company better and cooler and faster, and that's a great feeling."

This lecture addresses the question of how ancient peoples conceived or expressed a sense of their own national identity. In the polyglot and multicultural world of the Mediterranean, the values and features that gave identity to a group were constantly in flux and evolving. The construct of a collective identity depends on distinguishing one's own nation or culture from that of the "Other," a form of denigration or demonization of the "alien" in order to establish distinctiveness and superiority. Such conceptualizing and stereotyping led Greeks to disparage "barbarians," Jews to deprecate gentiles, Egyptians to scorn lesser societies, and Romans to presume divine sanction for subordinating all inferior peoples to themselves. The lecture, however, endeavors to see another side to this story and to tease out of the texts signs of a more open-minded attitude in which ancient peoples saw themselves as part of a larger cultural heritage, in which they stressed links with others and even couched their own historical memories in terms of a past (often legendary) borrowed or appropriated from other societies. That is what I term "identity theft."
November 5, 2011 at 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Identity Theft in the Ancient Mediterranean
Presented by Dr. Erich Gruen Gladys Rehard Wood Professor of History and Classics Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley

Do you want to actually buy shares on the market or would you rather invest in another way without a huge capital outlay?
No matter where you turn, technology dominates your life. From entertainment to employment to daily living at home, technology is at the centre of everything you see and do. Within this broad scope of technology comes social media which is a dominant force in the lives of two-thirds of all Internet users on a global level. Think about this for a moment and let it sink in. There are over 3 billion people on the planet who access the internet, and of that number, two billion are actively on social media of some sort and most often on mobile devices with a social media app.
If you are looking for a solid investment, it is a good bet to consider one that has the capacity to serve that many people worldwide. Social media is huge and it is growing by the day. While not growing as explosively as it had within the past decade, it is still growing and on solid ground for the foreseeable future. It is true that some technology investments are risky but social media is going nowhere soon and although not growing as rapidly as it once had been, it is growing on an upwards curve. So, what are good investments? There are several options open to you.
Let's take a look at Facebook, the world's largest social media site for some solid data on investments. There is a reason why social media is a good investment and Facebook tells it all. Consider the recent presidential elections in the United States and how Facebook had a major impact on how voters felt about the candidates. In fact, over a month later the candidates are still the topic most shared and literally tens of thousands of groups have been set up to share heated discussions. This puts Facebook in the heart of literally every home that has a Facebook account and that gives Facebook, trading as FB, a huge amount of power. Anyone or anything with that much influence is a powerful force to be reckoned with and therefore, a safe investment.
Do you want to actually buy shares on the market or would you rather invest in another way without a huge capital outlay? Since Facebook is forecast to continue growing, the question is how fast? One of the newer investment vehicles, CFD trading, Contract for Difference, is a way of betting on the spread so that you are only investing a very small amount of money. You literally try to predict the margin between the buy and sell price and that's what you are betting on with your broker.
To simplify it, let's say FB is trading at $120 per share on a given day. If you wanted to buy 100 shares you would be looking at a total cost of $12,000. At a 50 per cent margin with a traditional brokerage, that would mean an outlay of $6,000. However, when you are betting on market movement you only need to invest 5 per cent which then becomes $600. You will, in effect, be betting on the spread between what it is being sold for at the time of your 'bet' and at a predetermined future point on what it will be sold at. The spread is what you are betting on and a much cheaper way to break into investing in social media.
So then, social media may go through periods of losing ground as new technology is introduced, but it will grow again within a short time simply because it is a powerhouse that is going nowhere soon. Any media that holds that much influence on the market is going to be a solid investment, it's just a matter of determining how you want to invest. Do you want to buy shares or bet on market movement? With social media, either is a good investment. The bottom line is trading style and investment capital. By weighing what you have to invest and whether you are looking for a long term (shares) investment or a short term (CFD) wager, you can invest knowing that social media is as good as it gets.

Use it for any kind of image visualization and color table manipulation.
One issue is that when I try to use setRamp() (with data I previously got from getRamp()) the layout of the sliders is all wrong.
The ramp is normalized now between 0 and 1, when setting it. But I could not verify your issue.
I also had to add an 'update()' just before the 'emit rampChanged();' to get the widget to show the new ramp.


Polio or Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by a virus paralysis, Polio Virus. The polio disease with symptoms such as sudden paralysis on the part or whole of the body. In 1955, the disease has been found to the vaccine due to the hard work and tenacity of a doctor and a scientist from the United States, Jonas Salk. Jonas Salk was born on October 28, 1914. In 1947, Jonas Salk with the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis find a Polio vaccine. In 1947, the disease Polio is a deadly disease and loss of many lives in the United States. Jonas Salk, in 8 years, he had managed to find a vaccine for Polio disease.
How Polio Disease Can be Infection ?
Polio can be infected through oral and nasal cavity, and then proliferate in our body, especially the digestive tract and the esophagus. This virus is able to enter the human circulatory system and can weaken the muscle, because of that, paralysis can be occur. In general, usually through the saliva of patients infected with polio can lead us, besides human waste polio disease can still cause us to contracting polio. Infection of polio disease can also be caused by several things, such as have not received the polio vaccine, was in a lot of areas affected by polio and could also be due to the extreme fatigue of the body. Excessive stress can also make the body can be attacked by the polio virus is because when stress and fatigue, the immune system becomes weaker.
Common symptoms of poliomyelitis is usually marked occurrence of paralysis in some organs or whole after experiencing a high fever. Therefore, as much as possible if you do not underestimate the fever. In particular, polio can be divided into three types, and each of the three types has its own symptoms.
This kind of polio has muscle cramps are common symptoms of the neck and back, and accompanied by nausea and a high fever.
More severe symptoms of the disease compared with non-paralytic polio disease, because this Polio Disease attacks the spine that is by attacking the anterior horn cells.
This is the type of polio that the most likely to cause death. Bulbar polio can attack the brain due to the weakening of the immune system so that the whole organ damage, be it the movement of the eye, lung function, heart and other vital organs.
Polio Immunization, with this immunization with polio vaccine can minimize risk to infected Polio virus.
Stay away in location is the case of polio.
Polio virus is not resistant to high temperatures.
Thus the explanation of polio, what is polio, how it is transmitted and how to prevent it. I hope this article can be useful and make our body always healthy.

No reunion for Oasis in 20 Years
Alan McGee is the man who "discovered" Oasis and signed them to his Creation Records, so he has a unique view into the minds of brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher and that mind says there's no reunion of the band anytime in the near future.After many different reports of peace between the Gallagher's and a reforming of the band, McGee decided to tell the British paper The Mirror that "Liam and Noel are the happiest I've seen them in years so for that reason I can't see a reunion happening."
He went on to say "I've met Noel on numerous occasions recently and bumped into Liam a few times and we've had lengthy conversations and a reunion has never been discussed."
Still, McGee says he wouldn't be shocked to see a reunion "at some point in the next twenty years" so fans can, at least, hang their hat on that much.

Winnie The Pooh Rock Decorating and CHRISTOPHER ROBIN Coloring Sheets!
Winnie The Pooh is one of those classic stories that has just always been there for us.
Whether watching the movie as a child, seeing the character at Disney Parks, or having a stuff animal, he is comforting figure for a child.
In fact, one of the very first book reports I did in elementary school was for Winnie The Pooh.
As an adult I watched "My Friends Tigger and Pooh" on the Disney Channel with my now 12 year old, and viewed a holiday DVD countless times with my other children.
Again that sweet HUNNY bear has always been around, and now he is back making a new appearance in the film CHRISTOPHER ROBIN.
I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see this movie. It is getting a lot of great reviews and am excited to see where their adventures take them outside of The Hundred Acre Wood.
Because we have been seeing so much about the characters, my daughter and I decided to make a Butterfly Garden with Winnie The Pooh Rock Decorating.
We also wanted to attract those insects that produce honey to our yard, so we sprinkled a Pollinator Seed Mix into the soil inside of a pot. I also found craft sticks and made a 100 Aker Wood Sign with glue.
In addition, we added Reindeer Moss as well a Painted Honey Pot. (FYI, this was created with light brown, brown, and yellow acrylic paint made for glass).
Tips: Paint the rocks first with white acrylic paint, draw characters on with a pencil, and fill the color in with permanent markers.
Be sure to visit my tutorial on How To Create Kindness Rocks for the steps and supplies you will need to start your own Winnie The Pooh Rock Decorating.
CHRISTOPHER ROBIN is directed by Marc Forster from a screenplay by Alex Ross Perry and Allison Schroeder and a story by Perry based on characters created by A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard. The producers are Brigham Taylor and Kristin Burr, with Renée Wolfe and Jeremy Johns serving as executive producers.

PetroChina sets up alternative energy division
PetroChina , China's top oil and gas firm, has set up a unit to develop alternative fuels to secure new energy sources amid high crude oil prices and dwindling domestic reserves, company officials said on Friday.
An office of 10 people under PetroChina's exploration and production arm would focus on coalbed methane, oil shale and biofuels, before extending into renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power in the longer run, they said.
"The business will be extremely small. We will still highlight our main business, which has been keeping us very busy," spokesperson Cao Zhengyan said.
But high global crude prices and a growing shortage of oil and gas in the world's second-largest energy user have led Chinese state oil giants to look more closely at unconventional fuels.
PetroChina had quietly laid groundwork for coalbed methane (CMB), a gas extracted from coal mines, having sunk 200 exploration wells in northern China's Shanxi province this year, a second company official said.
PetroChina is aiming for commercial production before 2010, supplying 2-3 billion cubic metres of gas a year from fields mostly in Shanxi province.
The company has been working on the field in Shanxi for about a decade via a 50-percent-owned CMB specialist, China United Coalbed Methane Corp. Ltd., the second official said.
The new division, charged with project planning, would also work on biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, that are derived from plants or grains.
Analysts have said Beijing would need to use incentives such as tax breaks to encourage these new energy sources.
China is already the world's third-largest producer of ethanol, increasingly used as a gasoline blend. But the main producers have been local firms, while state giants like PetroChina have so far played an insignificant role.

Conservative to Fund Republicans Who Back Climate Change Action
Jay Faison, a conservative North Carolina businessman, is backing two incumbents in the Senate and three in the House.Credit...T.J. Kirkpatrick for The New York Times
By Coral Davenport
WASHINGTON — A self-described conservative North Carolina businessman has promised to spend at least $5 million through his political action committee to back five Republican congressional candidates who have supported taking action to curb climate change.
Even as his party's presumptive presidential nominee denies the existence of global warming, the businessman, Jay Faison, and his ClearPath Action Fund will spend at least $2 million on digital media campaigns to defend Senate incumbents running in two of the tightest races in the country, Rob Portman in Ohio and Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire, a recognition of the senators' support for clean energy, Mr. Faison said Wednesday. The advertisements are expected to start running this week.
ClearPath is also spending several hundred thousand dollars on digital advertising campaigns to support Representatives Carlos Curbelo of Florida and Tom Reed and Elise Stefanik of New York, all Republicans running for re-election in similarly tight races.
"What we're trying to do is prove to the party, through these races, that clean energy wins races, to build a political safe space for the Republican Party to talk about this," Mr. Faison said in an interview. "It is difficult for a politician to consistently act in an area with no reward. We have their back." He added, "We're also making that case to the Trump campaign."
The spending comes as Republican leaders have questioned or denied the established science of human-caused climate change and attacked President Obama's climate change policies. Donald J. Trump, the presumptive nominee, has mocked climate science and vowed to cancel the Paris Agreement, the 2015 global accord committing nearly every country on earth to taking action to fight climate change.
Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, calls Mr. Obama's climate policies a "war on coal." But some Republican members of Congress who hope to carve out careers that could outlast Mr. Trump's have begun to quietly consider how to address climate change, which they believe resonates with a growing segment of voters, particularly young people.
Political strategists are paying attention to polls that show Americans expressing record- or near-record-high belief that global warming is happening. A March Gallup poll found that 64 percent of American adults worry "a great deal" or "a fair amount" about global warming, the highest number since 2008, and it found that a record 65 percent of Americans attribute global warming to human activity.
However, most polls asking voters to rank the importance of issues find that environmental concerns trail far behind concerns about jobs and the economy.
Still, in many campaigns, Democrats are attacking Republicans as climate deniers.
Some moderate Republicans hope to use their views on climate change to draw a contrast with Mr. Trump.
"All of them need to demonstrate a level of independence from the national party in order to survive," said Nathan Gonzales, editor of the nonpartisan Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report, speaking of the five lawmakers backed by Mr. Faison's group. "They'll need to declare independence from Donald Trump."
In 2015, Ms. Ayotte broke with her party to vote against a measure written by Mr. McConnell that would have blocked Mr. Obama's climate change rules. She also voted for a program to establish grants to schools for climate change education, against a proposal to block the Obama administration from signing on to the Paris climate change accord, and in favor of a federal fund to respond to the threat of climate change.
Mr. Portman voted with his party on most of those measures, but also voted in favor of the fund to respond to climate threats. He has worked for years with Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Democrat of New Hampshire, on a bill to improve energy efficiency in buildings. He is a former board member of the Nature Conservancy and is a co-author of legislation to support cleanup of the Great Lakes.
The three House members backed by Mr. Faison's group are among just 13 Republicans who have signed on to a resolution, offered by Representative Chris Gibson, Republican of New York. "The resolution was a vehicle to find out which Republicans were willing to step up and take some action," said Steve Valk, a spokesman for Citizen's Climate Lobby.
But while those five Republicans' environmental records stand out from many in their party, they have voted more times against environmental regulations than in favor. The League of Conservation Voters, which tracks lawmakers' environmental records on a scale of 1 to 100, have given lifetime scores to Ms. Ayotte of 35 percent, Mr. Portman of 20 percent, Mr. Curbelo of 23 percent, Mr. Reed of 6 percent and Ms. Stefanik of 9 percent. "To give House Republicans like Elise Stefanik, Tom Reed or Carlos Curbelo credit for acknowledging that climate change is real is a very low bar," said Meredith Kelly, a spokeswoman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
In Miami, Mr. Curbelo's opponent, Annette Tadeo, a Democrat, has slammed his climate positions as hypocritical. "Big oil and gas lobbyists have been filling his campaign coffers with thousands of dollars in cash, in exchange for his advocacy for offshore drilling," she said in a statement.
In Ohio, Mr. Portman is fighting to keep his seat against a former governor, Ted Strickland, who notes his support of Mr. Obama's climate plan and slams Mr. Portman for voting against it.
In upstate New York, a local newspaper, The Post-Star, noted that Ms. Stefanik's support for the climate change resolution was paired with votes against Mr. Obama's climate change plan. "We were especially interested in how she could acknowledge climate change in one stand, yet vote to delay implementation of the Clean Power Plan (new standards for coal-burning power plants), especially while representing a region that was devastated by acid rain from those plants in the Midwest," the paper's editorial board wrote.
Some political observers have drawn comparisons between Mr. Faison and Tom Steyer, the billionaire environmentalist and Democratic donor whose political action committee, NextGen Climate Action, has spent heavily to push candidates who champion climate change issues. Mr. Steyer emerged as the single biggest political donor of the 2014 cycle, spending $74 million to influence voters, far more than the $5 million pledged by Mr. Faison's group. Mr. Steyer, whose group has already laid out plans to spend at least $25 million in 2016, disavowed the comparison to Mr. Faison.
"From what we can tell by the people he is supporting, he is grading Republicans on the curve," Mr. Steyer said in an interview. "We have fairly objective standards for grading people, and none of the them come close to meeting our standards." Mr. Steyer said his group planned to support the Democratic Senate candidates in Ohio and New Hampshire.
And while the ads run by Mr. Faison's group note the candidates' support of clean energy, showing lush green fields and sparkling blue skies, they never explicitly mention the term climate change. Mr. Faison acknowledges that while he supports Republicans who have supported climate change policy, it is still too politically divisive to actually use the phrase.
"Climate change is a divisive term on the Hill and it's a divisive term among the electorate," said Mr. Faison. "But 'clean energy' tells a voter you care about the environment, and deflects attacks about climate change."


There were some exciting video game happenings this week! Grand Theft Auto V got three new trailers—one big trailer?—for the three protagonists you get to control in Rockstar's next game. Bossman Stephen Totilo checked the game out for the very first time, and came away with a ton of details written with a ton of words. But he made you all a TL;DR version, too. We also debuted and completed a Visual History series of attractive video game characters through the decades. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon came out, as did Iron Man 3 (the film). Enough to keep you busy for a while. To see all of our best coverage of these things and more, check out Kotaku Selects, where I round up our best content.
Up top is Blanka—who was always a favorite Street Fighter character of mine—designed by Carl Pearce. He's got another version up on his deviantART page, but I like this one more. It's also a little old, but it was brought to my attention thanks to Xombie Durge, and I just had to share.


Background: The Geneva Prognostic Score (GPS), the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI), and its simplified version (sPESI) are well known clinical prognostic scores for pulmonary embolism (PE).Objectives: To compare the prognostic performance of these scores in elderly patients with PE. Patients/Methods: In a multicenter Swiss cohort of elderly patients with venous thromboembolism, we prospectively studied 449 patients aged ≥65 years with symptomatic PE. The outcome was 30-day overall mortality. We dichotomized patients as low- vs. higher-risk in all three scores using the following thresholds: GPS scores ≤2 vs. >2, PESI risk classes I-II vs. III-V, and sPESI scores 0 vs. ≥1. We compared 30-day mortality in low- vs. higher-risk patients and the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results: Overall, 3.8% of patients (17/449) died within 30 days. The GPS classified a greater proportion of patients as low risk (92% [413/449]) than the PESI (36.3% [163/449]) and the sPESI (39.6% [178/449]) (P<0.001 for each comparison). Low-risk patients based on the sPESI had a mortality of 0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0-2.1%) compared to 0.6% (95% CI 0-3.4%) for low-risk patients based on the PESI and 3.4% (95% CI 1.9-5.6%) for low-risk patients based on the GPS. The areas under the ROC curves were 0.77 (95%CI 0.72-0.81), 0.76 (95% CI 0.72-0.80), and 0.71 (95% CI 0.66-0.75), respectively (P=0.47). Conclusions: In this cohort of elderly patients with PE, the GPS identified a higher proportion of patients as low-risk but the PESI and sPESI were more accurate in predicting mortality.

Captain Awkward at Vice and other links.
I wrote a piece for VICE about taking good care of yourself during holiday visits with family. We're at work on the sequel about hosting holiday visits that people won't have to write to internet advice columns about.
The therapist I spoke with for the Vice piece, Rae McDaniel, is a delight and had so many quotable bits besides "Discomfort is not harm" and "You're not going to be able to buy groceries at the hardware store" that had to be cut for space, so I want to direct you to their online coaching practice for people who want a safe place to explore gender in case that's a thing that would interest you or someone you love. Lott Hill, a former colleague of mine quoted in the article, also had some beautiful things to say during our interview that we couldn't include. He and I talked a lot about college students who were in the process of coming out or exploring gender identity and sexuality and who felt afraid to go home, and this is one piece of advice that sticks with me about what parents can do to affirm and welcome their kids:
"Encourage any parent at any opportunity to tell their children that they are proud of them and appreciate them. If something terrible happens that's unavoidable, like a relative goes off despite being told what's unacceptable behavior, a parent can check in later and make it clear to their child that they don't agree even if they couldn't speak up in that moment: 'I don't agree with what your Grandma said and I love you very much.'
Remind parents that for the majority of their child's life, they've been protective of that child in whatever setting that child is in, don't forget that you're still in a position that you can protect your child with as much strength and awareness and compassion as you've always protected that child. You don't have to speak for them, but you can intervene and protect them at a very vulnerable times in their lives."
❤ Imagine a holiday celebration where everybody tells everybody else: "I'm proud of you and happy to see you." What a wonderful world it could be.
On a related topic, this Asking Bear column: "My home is unsafe for me to explore my gender. What do I do?" is extremely good. I completely hate that it's necessary to strategize and work at "surviving" a situation, but S. Bear has very good advice for getting through.
It's also a good day to mention that Scarleteen is offering donors a preview of their ADORABLE and HIGHLY USEFUL sex ed zine. Need an affirming, funny, safe way to articulate just what the heck it is you even think about sex? This is a great tool for that and a great cause.
Hope everybody's staying warm and that your holidays are the good kind of awkward. I'll be back to regularly scheduled advice programming very shortly.

Love the being authentic about self ie sexuality/gender in the vice article. So hard to hide what is essentially and part of your life.
I remember when I was in my early to mid 20's a friend who was very hung up on marriage with an even more so family banned me from discussing where I lived as it looked bad that I'd moved out of home. Hard to chat when ones expected to hide what I'd been up to in my away from family home area, flat share and rental apartment stories. Now I would have said no I won't hide I'm living out of home as I want chat about interior decorating, my flat mate and local activities!!

"so many quotable bits … that had to be cut for space"
I'm now visualizing the "Deleted Scenes" DVD Extra, with green-screen still in. 🙂
R. Taylor said: December 4, 20199:11 am
Can I just say I REALLY appreciated how you wrote about Rae McDaniels. I already know you know how to write about non-cis people but also it's so refreshing not to see sentences like "[Trans person], who was born [deadname] and now prefers [pronouns], said [the stuff that is actually relevant to the dang topic]." You just…use their pronouns in the proper spot?? Introduce them with their topic-relevant job instead of their surgical history?? Why is this so hard for journalists at large????
Anyway, THANK YOU.
