For many vacationers, there is no place like the Jersey Shore. But beach-bums lament the lack of public bathrooms.
That's according to a Quinnipiac University poll that found 83 percent of those surveyed say towns should provide public restrooms.
Maurice Carroll directs the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
Carroll says although all New Jersey beaches are public, almost half of beach-goers polled say there are too many restrictions.

Skolopad gets back on her feet again
Skolopad was thrust into the spotlight at the 2017 Metro FM Awards when she wore a revealing yellow dress that broke the internet and since then, she has managed to turn her 15 minutes of fame into a career in the entertainment industry.
Over the past couple of months, the musician has been tabloid fodder and according to Times Live, a couple of months ago, the starlet was rushed to hospital after an argument with a colleague which resulted in her taking an accidental overdose of anti-anxiety pills.
"When I got home, I took some pills. Mostly anti-anxiety pills but pills that I had. It's pills I usually take when I am angry and need to calm down, so I took a couple of them. I feel like I need to rest for a long time... even if it's forever. Yes. I have wanted to die many times before. I have attempted to jump off the hospital roof top. I just didn't make it. This time I just wanted to rest," she said to the publication.
It seems that the star has made a full recovery, taking to Instagram, she posted that she was back at work.
"Focus on the outcome not the obstacles😉 Back to work🙌" she wrote. Take a look at the post below:

Skolopad has had a pretty tough 2018, according to a report published by Sowetan, the socialite collapsed during the 2018 South African Music Awards.

Opening: 14 May, Tuesday, 5:30pm
The Union of Bulgarian Artists UBA, under the patronage of the Embassy of Switzerland in Bulgaria, presents the large scale solo exhibition 'Paper – Hand and Mind. Narrations in Art' of the Swiss artist Therese Weber at the Rayko Alexiev Gallery, from May 14th to June 7rd, 2019.
Therese Weber is one of the most important protagonists of 'Paper Art' and an acclaimed representative of the contemporary Swiss art scene. Based on her artistic research on paper, its creation and its tradition, at present time she is mainly active in the field of pulp painting: For her works, Therese Weber creates her artwork from coloured pulp (natural fibre) by pouring and forming handmade paper, and combines this as her particular creative medium with drawings, prints and photography to explore new dimensions. Showcasing more than 50 works, this comprehensive exhibition offers a complex and varied panorama of her oeuvre, and also of different techniques and approaches she used during the last 25 years. Therese Weber has been doing research for many years in Asia, Central Asia, the Caucasus and in 2018 for the first time in the Balkan region. The exhibition in Sofia presents Therese Weber's works to the Bulgarian audience for the first time.
"Look at everything first with silence". Painting by Yana Stoycheva
03.05.19 - 28.05.19 | Gallery - bookstore "Sofia Press"
opening - 3rd of May, 18:00
We live in a time when our contemplative abilities are threatened by dissipation. This inevitably brings out every reason for everything we approve or not outside of us. Explaining a solid position on a given subject in some cases becomes "proof" of the existence as a different entity, such as a feat against a vague opponent, domestic heroism, all for one-time noisy use. A controversy arises, mostly based on subjective allegations. In this closed circle, sometimes it turns out that we have bitten our own tail, and our good intentions of influence and change have not been materialized.
Painting by Yordan Kissiov
opening - 18th of April, Thursday, 18:00
Yordan Kisyov is among the most prominent Bulgarian artists of the last decades. He is a bold experimenter, looking for unconventional means of expression for his large format painting and the installations he makes. He works at the border between collage, sculpture and painting.

Tsviatko Ostoich - painting, photography, graphic design, drawings
opening - 29th of March, 18:00
Tsviatko Ostoich is known for his work in the field of graphic design, especially in the layout of the book. In this exhibition, however, it can be called a jubilee, because it follows the 60th birthday of the artist - we will see the other parts of his work. Together with the fine watercolors and drawings painted over the last 10 years, Tsvyatko Ostoich has for the first time shown his photographs.
Tsviatko Ostoich is one of the artists who do not find it necessary to name their work, to explain them further. In them we see nature with its tender power and dramatic states; we see the man's inner world, gently lifting the curtain to his thoughts. In that way the author leaves the viewer the freedom to understand the way shown and to feel closer to his emotion.
Presentiment of spring - art jewelry
opening - 20th of February, 18:00
The artists from the Jewelry section of the Union of Bulgarian Artists present art jewelry in the exhibition.

Legacy of the past. Ethno-motives by Nikolay Penkov
The exhibition is a glance at past times, human experiences, images and objects ever seen, and people once lived.
The themes of works relate to the enduring stages that make sense of life - friendship, the magic of attraction, motherhood and the birth of the new life, the family reflected in the kaleidoscope of the subject world of the past.
Ritual breads, costumes, jewelery, rugs and wedding gifts - these are everyday life and the holidays, the customs of the past, characterizing Bulgarians as a nation. The new in this exhibition, besides the thematic search, is the tehnique. The author returns to a technique of painting he abandons 20 years ago (the multi-layer oil painting), which he further develops and refines.
"The Knight and ..." Digital graphics by Buyan Filchev
The gallery will be closed from 23.12.2018 to 2.01.2019=
The exhibition "The Knight and ..." by Prof. Buyan Filchev includs works of digital graphics, unfolds in front of the spectator an imposing and impressive canvas that presents the last stage of his rich in achievement creativity. It is no accident that the slogan, which in itself increases the associative potential of the images, is open...
Balanced but at the same time extremely rich in various shapes, tones and elements sheets; compositions rich in fragments and auto-citations are like debris of a grandiose explosion. These debris seem to seek to reunite in the space of the exhibition hall in search of a complete and organic visual-plastic unity in which personal and global problems solved with a high-level style are inextricably interwoven with each other.

Electric Pulse Trawling: a highly charged issue
admin News, Uncategorized @ro danger, gears, pulse
Brussels, 22 June 2017
Brian O'Riordan
A highly charged debate on electric pulse fishing, organized by the Intergroup for Biodiversity & Ecosystems Services, took place in the European Parliament yesterday, Wednesday 21 June. Under discussion was the issue electric pulse trawling as a more sustainable alternative to beam trawling. A pulse trawl uses electric current to shock fish off the seabed, and is more than 10 times lighter than a conventional beam trawl (240 kgs vs 3,000 kgs). It has huge benefits for fuel economy, carbon footprint, and mechanical seabed impact.
However, the lighter weight of the gear means that it can be used in areas inaccessible to beam trawls, and the lethal, sub lethal, and wider ecosystem impacts of electric pulses are as yet not sufficiently researched. LIFE therefore urges precaution prior to deregulating the gear. For details see https://lifeplatform.eu/shocking-the-fish/
Small scale inshore fishers using fixed gears are concerned that, thanks to pulse technology, beam trawl effort is now shifting into more sensitive and environmentally fragile areas, where the impact of overfishing and electric pulses on marine fauna and associated habitats threatens their activities. Allowing the encroachment of electric pulse trawling into these inshore areas in the absence of any effective regulatory and control framework flies in the face of any precautionary or ecosystems based approach to fisheries management.
Representing DG Mare, Elisa Roller hailed pulse trawling as "the most innovative, most researched and most fuel-efficient gear", which she sees as a crucial tool for dealing with the challenges of the landing obligation. As Head of Unit for CFP and Structural Support, Policy Development and Coordination, she is sufficiently satisfied with the evidence from research to allow the mainstreaming of the pulse technique throughout the EU. She highlighted a few outstanding issues that need to be taken care of, which essentially boil down to a misunderstanding on pulse issues, she said.
Pim Visser for the Dutch industry called for an increase in the number of licenses for brown shrimp vessels, highlighting the 60 to 70% reduction in by-catch obtainable.
Ricardo Serrao Santos drew attention to the ethical issue of fish welfare, and pointed out that innovation could be both Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Innovation was a two-edged sword that was both the cause of and potential solution to climate change, pollution, ocean acidification, and plastic waste.
Hans Polet from ILVO – the Flemish Agriculture and Fisheries Research Institute – highlighted that despite much research, there are still significant knowledge gaps as regards the wider ecosystem and longer-term impacts.
Bjorn Stockhausen for Seas at Risk urged that regulatory conditions governing licence restrictions for pulse trawling are strengthened not weakened, and that existing licenced operations are evaluated. Small mistakes can make big impacts he said. He pointed out that the repetitive and cumulative effects of electricity over time were unknown.
Frédéric le Manach for Bloom drew attention to the ethical issues, stating that it is not acceptable to electrocute Nature; that electric pulses are not selective, all fish are electrocuted.


I have received several comments from members addressing how much they enjoyed the first Points to Ponder article on the subject of minimum staffing hours. This time the subject of Points to Ponder is the Universal Worker. Since there is a lack of a formal definition of what a Universal Worker is, let's first attempt to define the term Universal Worker so we can all be on the same page. This is what I could find on the subject: The term refers to people with many skills who can be depended on to complete a variety of tasks in their work day and is used when a person is cross-trained in many departments, and therefore has a little more assignment flexibility. They are often used in call centers (Would this seem to be a good place for this type of worker?) and hospitals to alleviate staff shortages. (Does this seem to be a good reason for this type of worker in and of itself?) It means moving toward a more "holistic" approach to care in which the "Universal Worker" attends to all the living needs of residents: assistance with ADLs, meal service, light housekeeping, laundry, programming, etc. So let's ponder what having Universal Workers may or may not do for the Activity Profession and those we serve.
CMS Letter Clarifies Use of Produce from Nursing Home Gardens.
On Sept. 7, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a survey and certification letter that clarifies federal law regarding nursing homes with produce gardens and use of the foods harvested on the menu for the resident population.
The letter advises that nursing homes with gardens will be compliant with the food procurement requirements at 42 CFR 483.71(i) Sanitary Conditions (F371) as long as the facility has and adheres to policies and procedures for maintaining their gardens.
Surveyors are instructed to request the policy and procedures if there is an outbreak of food-borne illness and the facility's primary food services source has been ruled out as the cause of the outbreak.
Facilities must also adhere to any state or local requirements related to food grown on their grounds for resident consumption.
·Researchers around the country are making strides in helping assisted living and continuing care retirement communities (CCRC) support residents with memory impairments. There are 2 new tools are helping to improve memory in healthy retirement community residents and to measure quality of life among assisted living residents with dementia.
The Mather LifeWays Institute on Aging, a LeadingAge member in Evanston, IL, developed and is testing a tool that allows professional caregivers to assess quality of life among assisted living residents or clients with dementia. To use the scale, the staff member observes the resident during an activity, completes a short survey about that person's level of engagement in or emotional reaction to that activity, and then gives the person a quality-of-life score.
Mather LifeWays has been working with Benten Technologies to improve the usability of the "Observing Quality of Life in Dementia" scale by linking it to a mobile data entry system that uses an iPod Touch carried by a staff member to record quality-of-life data. That data is transmitted wirelessly to a laptop or desktop computer where it can be incorporated into reports that enhance dementia care practice and the well-being of participants.
In another study, researchers from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) found that a brain fitness program offered in senior living communities represented a cost-effective way to address some of the memory-related concerns of healthy older adults.
The study involved 115 older adults living in 2 Maryland CCRCs. Participants had memory complaints but had not been diagnosed with dementia and were not taking any medications for memory loss. Half of the participants were placed on a waiting list for the program and served as the control group. The other half attended 12, 1-hour sessions that were designed to help them understand how memory works and learn basic memory tools. Trainers also discussed the role of a healthy lifestyle in protecting and maintaining memory.
Researchers found marked improvement in verbal memory among older adults attending the classes, as well as improvements in how those adults perceived their memory.
version of the manual will become effective as of October 1, 2011.

• Kitchens serving no more than 30 residents will be permitted to be open to the corridor and other spaces, and either residential or commercial stoves or cooktops may be used provided certain criteria are met.
• Furniture may be provided in corridors so that residents can sit and rest and then continue to their destination provided certain criteria are met.
• Combustible decorations will be permitted in resident rooms, corridors, on doors, and in common space. There are limitations on the percentage of coverage depending on whether the building is sprinklered and where located.
• Gas or electric fireplaces will be allowed to be used in smoke compartments that contain sleeping rooms, but not within individual sleeping rooms, with some restrictions. Some of the restrictions are that the controls must be locked and a sealed glass front must be provided to prevent anyone from throwing object into the flames.
The importance of these new provisions in the Life Safety Code cannot be overstated. Benefits to people living in nursing homes include an increased feeling that they are really "at home" due to having kitchens that resemble and function like those they had in their own homes; an increased ability to navigate the long corridors of a traditional nursing home without using a wheelchair; the ability for a resident to have more decorations on the wall and door of her or his bedroom in order to further personalize the room and maintain connections with family and community.

"On Dec. 29, a new law (H.R. 6398) was signed by President Barack Obama that requires full FDIC coverage of Interest on Lawyers' Trust Accounts (IOLTA). In Texas, IOLTA provides critically needed funding for basic civil legal services for poor and low-income Texans. When we learned earlier this year that changes in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) inadvertently omitted IOLTA protection, we joined state and national efforts to urge a legislative remedy to this oversight.
"The leadership of our Texas Congressional delegation, namely Rep. Lloyd Doggett and Sen. John Cornyn, was critical to the success of this legislation that helps protect funding for legal aid. Rep. Doggett sponsored H.R. 6398 and eloquently described on the House floor his firsthand experience with the importance of IOLTA funding to those who receive access to justice through our programs in Texas. Sen. Cornyn joined several of his colleagues in the Senate in a bipartisan effort to gain support of this important piece of legislation.
"Texas lawyers can now be assured their IOLTA accounts will receive full coverage of the FDIC and the IOLTA program will continue to help thousands receive civil legal services in Texas. Our partners in the access to justice community worked together to ensure that our growing poverty population would not have to endure yet another hardship on funding for legal needs.
"I am pleased that the bill, which I authored at the request of leaders of the State Bar of Texas, is now law. By continuing full FDIC protection for Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts, this legislation will help finance legal services for those who otherwise would have no access to our justice system.
"Before coming to Congress, I served as a Justice on the Texas Supreme Court, which sets forth the rules and oversees the operation of such IOLTA accounts in our state. I saw firsthand the benefits of these programs in ensuring access to justice for those who otherwise might be unable to secure justice.
"We recognize the wisdom of Judge Learned Hand's writing: 'If we are to keep our democracy, there must be one commandment—thou shalt not ration justice.'"
The Texas Access to Justice Foundation (www.teajf.org), created by the Supreme Court of Texas in 1984, is the leading state-based funding source for the provision of civil legal aid in Texas. The organization is committed to the vision that all Texans will have equal access to justice, regardless of their income. The Foundation administers a variety of funding sources, which are earmarked to assist nonprofit organizations in providing legal aid to approximately 100,000 Texans each year.

S10 E20 (26 Feb 08) : On A Mission by Martha Hillier
Jac is becoming increasingly frustrated with her lack of career progress and is determined to become a good CT surgeon. She tries to gain popularity with the team on Darwin by covering up for a missing Faye, whom she later finds out has gone to her dead husband's graveside as he is exhumed.
Maddy, meanwhile, is intrigued when Linden's eagerness to treat one and all stops short when he is faced with a specific female patient. She later finds out that the patient looks like his dead wife.
Elsewhere, Ric is having cash-flow problems and, when Michael offers him some private work, his principles weaken. He decides to take up Michael's offer and ends up doing a breast reduction operation – much to his shame.

Unger, N., D.T. Shindell, D.M. Koch, and D.G. Streets, 2006: Cross influences of ozone and sulfate precursor emissions changes on air quality and climate. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. , 103, 4377-4380, doi:10.1073/pnas.0508769103.
Tropospheric O3 and sulfate both contribute to air pollution and climate forcing. There is a growing realization that air quality and climate change issues are strongly connected. To date the importance of the coupling between O3 and sulfate has not been fully appreciated and thus regulations treat each pollutant separately. We show that emissions of O3 precursors can dramatically affect regional sulfate air quality and climate forcing. At 2030 in an A1B future increased O3 precursor emissions enhance surface sulfate over India and China by up to 20% due to increased levels of OH and gas-phase SO2 oxidation rates, and add up to 20% to the direct sulfate forcing for that region relative to the present day. Hence, O3 precursors impose an indirect forcing via sulfate, which is more than twice the direct O3 forcing itself (c.f. -0.61 vs. +0.35 W/m2). Regulatory policy should consider both air quality and climate and address O3 and sulfate simultaneously due to the strong interaction between these species.

Supporting Future Leaders Today – Millennial Leadership Development
Ally Pearson, M.A.
A large healthcare organization is putting on a leadership development seminar for high potential next generation talent. A thirty-year-old woman walks into the seminar and takes a seat, flipping to her phone to view incoming emails as the lights dim and a slide deck appears on the screen. "I've seen this presentation before," she thinks, as she turns back to her phone and tunes out the bulk of the presentation.
Across the city, a newly-placed manager at a retail organization struggles as a first-time leader and asks for support from his organization. While leaders in levels above him receive coaching and targeted programming, he is left waiting and frustrated.
Are we setting up the Millennial Generation for success as the next leaders of our organizations? Not likely.
There are limited, if any, leadership development programs truly directed at Millennials. If there are, organizations are utilizing existing models that have worked for past leaders, not the next generation of leaders.
Deloitte estimates that Millennials will make up 75% of the global workforce by 2025. Even so, per Brandon Hall Group's 2015 State of Leadership Development study, leadership development of Millennials isn't seen as a priority of organizations. The study found that only 20% of organizations identified Millennials as critical for development over the next 24 months.
The math is astounding – 75% of the global workforce by 2025 with only 20% of current organizations identifying the need as critical. Even more discouraging is how much Millennials crave coaching and feedback on performance, yet only 7% of organizations are investing in offering Millennials coaching or mentoring services, according to the Brandon Hall Group study.
Anyone who googles the words "Millennials" and "Work" can find a plethora of resources on engagement of Millennials, recruitment of Millennials, how to manage them, how to retain them, how they're changing the work environment. The two words you don't see associated as often? Leadership and Development.
The bottom line? Identify High-Potential Millennials + Invest.
What does that investment look like and how can we change traditional programs to meet the needs of the next generation?
Think about it – you wouldn't take an iPod from 2010 and attempt to gift it to a 21-year old today using Spotify. Speaking from a Millennial perspective, we don't want traditional classroom-led mandatory training programs. We want to be able to learn new behaviors and techniques and practice them in our day-to-day. We want to connect with peers in a social networking format to talk about how it is going and reflect on experiences via blogs and social media. We want coaching and mentoring opportunities – earlier than we are currently getting them. You want to retain Millennials long term? Show them that you are invested in and care about their long-term career development.
Why else is there a need to change the traditional way of presenting leadership development for the Millennial Generation? Let's review the landscape we're likely to face. Lighting-speed change, slower economic growth, continued explosion and demand for big data, and shifting views on diversity combined with how Millennials like to lead should be informing and influencing the programs created.
Let's ensure we are building an environment and construct that will support future leaders of our organizations today. A significant first step would be to invest in coaching for your high-potential Millennial leaders. Beyond this, building or taking part in training opportunities targeting Millennials would help to institutionalize investment in key talent.

Not merely a description of corpulent character Pruitt Taylor Vince, the title refers to the leaden atmosphere hanging over a roadside café and its inhabitants. Writer-director James Mangold finds significance in the details of life, giving this touching story an authenticity that keeps us involved. Liv Tyler brings poignancy to the story as a college dropout who helps awaken the introverted and depressed Vince. Unfortunately, this fascinating character study is too often undermined by direction slow enough to be leaden. Happily, even the most stolid camera work cannot undermine the desires and insecurities of the main character, a man yearning for a full life but too afraid to take a chance.
Writer/director Mangold's careful, essentially serious approach puts the characters under the microscope and relies on the performers not to let him down. They don't. Newcomer Liv Tyler is breezy and touching. Vince meanwhile is hugely sympathetic as the shy man daring to reach out, capturing deep depression and tiny everyday acts of courage with meticulous command. A potent, precious first feature, that's distinctive enough to remain long in the mind.

And the real sickener is that when the buyer gives the car back to the dealer, it's the dealer that will get stung when trying to sell the vehicle on.
'This could potentially be a growing issue,' said HPI's Alan Bishop. 'Consumers clocking cars is not a new phenomenon but it is fair to say that with the tools to adjust mileages so easily available on the web, consumers can get the job done much more easily than previously.


Hello! I'm so glad you're here & I so appreciate your devotions & website!
I recently watched the video clip of your reflections to emails and heard you say that you set up the devotions a month ahead of time. How amazing is our God as He orchestrates! This devotion has been speaking right to me these last few weeks, especially today. I've been longing for children. Just writing that sentence stops me..it's been heart breaking. At this time last year, I found out that one of my co-workers was having a baby and deep down inside, I was crushed. Since then, Jesus really has held me, built me up, and shown me that having a child was not to be an idol in my life. Yesterday, I found out that my closest co-worker is having a baby, and I am truly happy for her. I've anticipated that heart-crushing feeling again, but I honestly feel God holding my heart and my emotions. In my mind, I know I could entertain selfish thoughts and negative emotions, because in moments, they're there, but it really feels like God is holding me up from sinking into that pit of despair. I'm so sorry for your loss..I will be thinking of you and praying for you and your family. Last summer I thought for sure I was pregnant, but experienced a false pregnancy (didn't know there was such a thing), but on a minute scale, I felt the heartbreak of a loss for what might have been. Since then I've been praying for women who have experienced this loss in a very real way. I always heard people say that Jesus will sustain you, Jesus is enough – when I actually experienced this, those words became truth, filled my heart, held me up, AND made my heart smile!
Thank you for devotions and dedication..
I am trusting God with my kids and my not-yet-born grandbaby.
I really appreciate the wonderful encouraging word. Am in that situation of asking 'why me and for how long'. I really need a source of income, please join me to pray for financial breakthrough to go back to business and be able to feed my family and be a blessing to others. I feel so helpless. God bless you.
A time when I didn't understand God was when my 40 year old nephew continues to have Cancer. He has had 3 surgerys.
After the first one, the Cancer was gone. We praised the Lord. A year or so later, it returned. Why God? We continued to pray, he went through Chemo, nothing. Cancer still there. He had 2nd surgery, They got most of it but not all of it. We continue to pray and trust God. Still praying. Found a Dr. at a Cancer Treatment Center. Third surgery, got the Cancer out they went for, but discover Cancer some wher else. We are heart broken. He tried a different treatment that is not as bad as Chemo. Firs5 scam , one tumor gone….Thank you Jesus, one small victory at a time. So you know we really believing God is going to knock it out. Next scan, no change in the liver, but noe something's on the lung. What?
We want to give up, but we can't. This is where this message touches my heart. Now it's What Now.?
This message blessed me and I am going to share it with my niece and nephew.
Thank you, I enjoy reading Girlfriends in God.
What a powerful word. I can totally relate to the whole story that was just told. My situation completely different but I believe he does take our hurts pain disappointments into beautiful Revelations of who he really is. Thank you for sharing.
Lord I trust you, that my relationship with my oldest daughter will be repaired not on my timeline but yours!!
My entire life is falling apart right now. My kids that were supposed to be graduating from college will not be…..adding additional time and expense. Our business is grinding along despite my best efforts. We have had medical, automobile and other major expenses one after the other. I feel like I am being punished for something, but I don't know what.
Thank you Sharon for this Wonderful Truth Today, which so resonates with my soul.
Whenever I face trials, as I have recently, my heart's cry is that God will be glorified utimately. I am so grateful God has shown His Faithfulness over and over again to me. While our trials are really tough and beyond our ability to understand, we know Who Our God is, and if we trust in Him, He is always Faithful to reveal Himself.
Since I know in whom I have believed, I am standing on Today's Truth, 1 Peter 1:6-7, for my Sister-in-Law, Sharon.
She was recently diagnosed with breast and bone cancer and is awaiting body and brain scan results. Sharon and my brother are both Christians, and they have asked fellow Christians to stand and believe with them for Jesus to be revealed in Sharon's Complete Healing. I believe He will prove His Faithfulness and be glorified once again, and I pray for you all that in your personal trials you will find that He is there and that He also uses these Trials to equip you with the ability to stand firm for others.
I am trusting that God will work out a vehicle for me as mine is on its last legs and I don't want to put anymore money into it.
Also that my daughter finds a place to live because after helping her for 3 years I just can't take the disrespect, herlack of appreciation for me and for my sanity I need her to be on her own.
I am trusting that God will bring people into her life and my sons to bring them back to Him.
I am also trusting that I can go on vacation in September with my husband because we haven't had one in 13 yrs. I need a break from my grandkids and daughter. Plus I want to see my sister and relax.
Thank God for your dedication in His service via your devotionals, and also for sharing your testimony. I am in the "why me" or moreso "why him" portion; my husband recently passed after a sudden illness, but the Lord had been showing/revealing things that pointed towards our future service and life together. It was a real blow and at this point, I am left trying to finance a funeral as we did not have insurance; he and I both were not for cremation (interesting that there was a link to a cremation post on your email) and also, minutes after his last breath, the Holy Spirit discounted cremation to me at his bedside. I have spent the majority of the past 12 days on the internet and phone trying to find a low cost funeral home and the money to pay for it. If He was taking him home now (we are Christians and I know my husband is with the Lord), then I am not sure why He has not provided for his homegoing. It's a long story, but my husband has been through the ringer the last few years not being able to walk due to a bad fall, now this…I am not sure when I will be able to even think about the "what now!" But I will trust Him and deal with the "why me/him" and "what now" after I get past what He has in store for my husband's homegoing. Please keep me lifted as I do so for all of you…I am faithful and know that if it was not for the Lord on my side…I would not be able to even type this now. Before I lose it, I will say, "Thank you Lord for Sharon and the Girlfriends, for the uplifting message, and for being our God…we could not make it without YOU!!!" God Bless us all! P.S. If anyone has any suggestions or resources that could help, please email me (threevee@gmail.com). Thanks!
Sometimes I feel like I am always in a storm in life whether it be a breast cancer diagnosis, financial issues with job choices that my husband has made, raising three kids in a crazy world, or my sixteen year old daughter totaling her car of 3 weeks, and so many more things going on in our lives in the past sixteen years that has made me say over and over "Why Me God?" However, the mighty God we serve who protected Daniel in the lion's den, and brought Job out of a series of loss and devastation is always there with His mighty strong right arm to hold me, love me , and most of all show me His power in the storms and struggles in life. As Christians, we are put here on Earth to bring glory to His name amist the storms in life that so easily entangle. It is not an easy task, but if we can just keep our eyes on Him the calm is around the corner.
I will keep trusting the Lord to be the Great Physician in my life and to heal my chronic illness and to heal those around me. However He chooses!
We praise You and thank You for all you do for us constantly! You never leave us alone! When we suffer, we suffer together. Please, bless each one of the women who read this ministry's resources. Please, show us Your power and may we worship and magnify Your Name and life it up on high- Hallelu Yah!
Am trusting God that my 24 year adult son who is continously making wrong and terrible choices and now is depressed abusive and violent will find his way back to God.
I have clinical depression and I am in the middle of changing my medicine. The doctors do that by weaning you off the medicine you were taking in order to start you on a new medicine. I go through many stages of depression, one of them being anger. At the same time I am dealing with my 78 year old husband who can't hear very well and is having problems with his short term memory. All we seem to do is argue. I haven't been going to church because of my anger issues which I know will stop when the new medicine takes over. I have been praying but nothing happens, I don't know what to do anymore.
even though I don't understand/i am angry with God now I will trust Him that ill get a early call about my new prosthetic eye that can be fitted in sooner rather than next few weeks. (been on going since last summer plus 2 surgeries). also I guess putting trust in Him as my hubby and I are foster/foster to adopt parents that we would be blessed of a kid that we can possibly call our own. (baby). but that only happens to "certain people". not people like my hubby and I. just the cards dealt with and need to face it that need to just continue same stuff different day.
I am struggling with a contractor that was hired to work on our home who claimed to be a minister. He even came to our Church. He took our money and didn't even do half the work. We took out a 2nd mortgage for this and I'll have to tell you every time we make that payment it is a thorn in my side.
I need prayer to forgive and move on.
Thank you so much for the devotion that u write. Sometimes they are just the right one for me on the day I needed it. I have just finished 32 radiation treatments and 4 chemo only to be told I have another spot. I Trusted God through it all and now I just feel sad. I still trust god and I'm trusting him that I don't have to have more treatments. Since I finished my legs r so bad I don't no what to do nothing stops the pain. Please pray that I will not have to have more treatments and that the pain will stop in my legs.


Study the sun. You can burn hundreds of dollars by accidentally placing plants in areas that receive too much or too little sunlight. Take time before planting to make notes on the sun's path across your yard, scoping out key sunny and shady spots along the way.
Invest in mulch. A layer of fresh mulch aids in protecting against soil erosion while cutting the costs of weed killer.
Reuse newspapers. Before you lay down protective mulch, spread layers of old newspapers directly onto the soil to block weeds and lock in moisture. Eventually the newspaper decomposes while saving on water costs in the long-run.
Try natural bug protection. Instead of buying pricey pesticides and bug zappers, place fabric softener sheets next to outdoor light fixtures to deter flying insects.
Make your own weed killer. Eco-friendly and inexpensive, you can create your own weed killer by mixing 1 gallon of white vinegar with 1 ounce of liquid dish soap. Put this mixture in a spray bottle and directly apply to weeds for the maximum effect.
Start composting. Create nature's best fertilizer in your own backyard by forming a small compost pile of kitchen and yard waste. Not only do you reduce your footprint by saving space in a landfill, but your homemade compost saves you money and increases the yield of your plants.
Plant the pricier edibles. To save money, time, and precious garden real estate, invest in planting herbs and vegetables that would normally cost you a bundle at the grocery store. Grow pricier crops such as raspberries, shallots, and basil yourself and buy cheaper produce like lettuce, carrots, and parsley at your local farmers markets.

For poor performers to recognize their ineptitude would require them to possess the very expertise they lack.
Because it's so easy to judge the idiocy of others, it may be sorely tempting to think this doesn't apply to you. But the problem of unrecognized ignorance is one that visits us all.

Hello. My name is Becca. I have one daughter and a Great Pyrenees dog named Cyrus. I love to cook and other people often compliment my cooking and ask for my recipes, so I thought blogging would give me a chance to share. I haven't been cooking or blogging as much lately, because i have returned to the public school setting in which I am a school psychologist. If I can touch the life of at least one child, I will feel that I have done my job well. Three things to bank on: I love my family. I love my job. I love creating great food.

Mo bros in Dundrum last November.
THE MOUSTACHIOED MEN who embraced Movember last year are to thank for a new fund being set up for cancer research.
The Irish Cancer Society, in collaboration with the Movember Foundation, announced the new award today, saying the fund "has the potential to realise breakthroughs and transform current prostate cancer care".
The society also awarded €350,000 in funding, which was made possible with Movember funds, to Molecular Medicine Ireland led by Consultant Urologist, Dr David Galvin.
This money will be used to establish the first Irish Prostate Cancer Outcomes Research (IPCOR) in Ireland that will monitor, benchmark and publicly report annually on outcomes of prostate cancer treatment and care.
Dr Galvin is the chairperson and clinical lead of the Prostate Cancer Committee, National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP).
If there is satisfactory reporting, funding for a further four years will be made available. That would bring the total IPCOR fund to €1.75million over five years.
The Prostate Cancer Transformative Programme grant is worth €750,000 over two years and has been awarded to the Irish Programme for Stratified Prostate Cancer Therapy (iPROSPECT).
It is led by consultant medical oncologist, Dr Ray McDermott, and its connected projects are all integrated "to bring about a transformation from current practice to a more individual and personalised treatment of patients with metastatic prostate cancer in order to improve patient outcomes".
Head of Research at the Irish Cancer Society, Professor John Fitzpatrick said the announcement "is an exciting opportunity for the prostate cancer research community in Ireland".
The Irish Cancer Society has contributed more than €30 million to cancer research since 1963.
In Ireland, the number of prostate cancers diagnosed has increased from 1,162 in 1995 to 3,122 in 2010, while the number of deaths is just over 500 per year.
