Everyone's Equal — Not!
Not even in Heaven or Hell.
Podcast Available for Premium Subscribers
One of the lies of the Marxist-inspired and funded, so-called globalist movement is that it is an actual movement. It's not.
It's a clever propaganda campaign engineered in the social experiment labs of the world's elite and put out into the media to sucker the naïve into swallowing a giant lie.
The giant lie is that everyone is equal. That's a lie and the proof of their lie is they don't even believe that themselves. Do you really think the likes of George Soros or Bill Gates or Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden actually believe that some poor African kid in Sudan is their equal? Of course they don't, although Biden probably wouldn't mind the kid rubbing the hairs on his legs.
[Transcript unavailable]
Boy, was that weird — still is.
But anyway, they want you to think they think "we're all equal." That way, their scheme to fool the great unwashed masses into thinking equality is the name of the game is more easily achieved.
On a theological note, sure, we are all "equal" in the dignity we possess as being made in the image and likeness of God, but that's where it not only begins, but also ends. Much falls from that reality, being created by God in His Divine Image, but not the way the godless globalist crowd approaches it.
Their understanding of 'equality' is not grounded in any God-given dignity, but in ... reducing all of mankind to an 'equal' level of subservience to the state.
They don't believe in God, so their understanding of "equality" is not grounded in any God-given dignity, but in their own designs of reducing all of mankind to an "equal" level of subservience to the state, a state or culture over which they reign supreme.
Every single person is unique and different. We are not equal in any major regard. Even Heaven has a hierarchy of human beings and angels — not on the same plane — because frankly, not everyone merits equally.
A simple one-second thought on the Mother of God being the Queen of Heaven tells you that.
Just as in the Davidic Kingdom, which is modeled after the Heavenly Kingdom, it is not the case that there is a king and then everyone else is equal to each other. So too that's true in Heaven and — to the point — here on earth as well.
The universe is arranged and ordered as a hierarchy, not a socialist-utopian, hippy-commune paradise.
That's why to hear all this blather coming from Rome these days about a universal wage, where everyone makes the same, or even that Judas received the same reward as the rest of the Apostles — or even the suggestion that he did — is all very disturbing.
Much of this is stated by the pope and engineered by God-knows-who in the background — some gay cardinals club or out-of-their-minds Jesuit clique or whatever.
First, Judas is in Hell because Our Lord flat out says, "Better for him had he never been born." To keep raising this issue that he was somehow saved flies in the face of logical thought — and not man's thought, but God's thought. It makes no sense for first, Our Lord to have said that, and second for the Holy Spirit to inspire St. Matthew to record it if it wasn't true.
But Pope Francis, who has had his intellect blinded by this probably well-meaning desire to have all things equal, even when they don't deserve to be, can't say these things and they remain uncriticized. Critical thought demands — for the sake of truth, which touches directly on charity — that such a statement be exposed for what it is — preposterous.
In an attempt to promote the question of Judas' salvation, Pope Francis makes three critical errors in his presentation of the scriptural account of Judas' final deeds.
First, he says Judas repented. He did not. To be remorseful is not to repent. Sure, it's the first step, but lots of people are remorseful of their actions, yet never make it all the way to repentance. People feel bad quite frequently when they do something bad. That in no way guarantees they amend their lives and change course. In fact, personal experience and human history both demonstrate that most of the time that doesn't happen.
A hit man for the mafia probably was at least somewhat remorseful the first time he emptied his gun in the back of some other crime family don's head. But then he went on to his second hit job. Eventually, even remorse dies when repentance does not follow. So no, Judas did not repent.
In a private revelation, in fact, God the Father told St. Catherine of Siena that Judas is in Hell, but even that we don't need because it's right there in St. Matthew's Gospel as well as strongly suggested in other books of the Bible.
Second, Francis suggests Judas may not be in Hell because Jesus kissed him and called him "friend." First, Jesus did not kiss Judas. It was the other way around. And the kiss was poison — a signal to the guards that this was the man.
And as for the term "friend," the way in which Our Lord used it was not the common understanding we have of it 2,000 years removed from that culture and the garden. The way in which Our Lord used the word "friend" was not friendly. It was irony; a response to the irony of Judas calling Him rabbi and kissing Him. Recall, the evangelists tell us Satan had entered Judas in the Upper Room, and he went out into the darkness.
So on all three counts — repentance, the kiss and friend, the pope got it all backwards. But you can see how someone who wants everyone to be viewed the same would want to rehabilitate Judas.
St. Paul says flat out to the Thessalonian Catholics, 'He who does not work, should not eat.'
Judas stands at the center of the contradiction, the condemnation really of the whole globalist Marxist push we see emanating from Rome these days. It's what is behind the anti-Catholic proposition by von Balthasar and parroted by Bp. Barron that we have a reasonable hope all men are saved. No, we don't. Christ Himself told us not all are saved, so in the nicest possible terms, cut the crap. Stop eroding people's faith for your own personal gain, you wicked men.
Back to the pope, as if suggesting Judas might be saved wasn't scandalizing enough, he wasn't done yet. Emerging from the same well of "equality for all," he let go the other day that there should be a universal wage. Everyone in the world should be paid and paid the same amount — right!
Okay, let's start with the Clintons, Soros, Obamas and Bidens then, right? How about Bill Gates? This is Bernie Sanders' pot-hangover chatter. But notice the similarity between Bernie and Occasional-Cortex and the rest of "the Squad" and other mentally deficient members of the Left: They all parrot the same idiocy but never apply it to themselves. You all need to all make the same miserable amount of money, but we of course, well, you understand.
First the notion of everyone being paid regardless of their effort or output is repugnant not just to common sense, but Sacred Scripture. St. Paul says flat out to the Thessalonian Catholics, "He who does not work, should not eat." What a bigot! What a capitalist swine!
There is an understood "proportionalism" in Scripture. The word itself even pops up in the Lord God's command to Moses about sharing the Passover lamb with another family too small to procure their own: "They shall eat in proportion to their number."
And again, there's St. Paul's admonition about not eating if you don't work.
What is being touched on here is the virtue of justice. Equal pay for unequal work is immoral.
So the corollary is this: If a person has more natural (talent, skill, drive, ambition, imagination, work "ethic"), it would be an offense against justice to penalize such a man for excelling, which is what it would be, in effect. The heart of the offense against justice is justice itself, which is by definition, giving to a man according to his due. If one is more industrious than another it is an offense against justice to treat him as though he is not.
The entire divine economy is based on the principle of a hierarchy of Justice. In Heaven, Our Lady deserves more honor than my mom because she merited more.
The entire proposition that all should be treated equally (economically, or whatever) is patently absurd on its face. All should be treated fairly. But fairness does not equal justice. It never has, never will — even in Heaven.
And to underscore the point, even Dante recognized the same principle applies in Hell. The damned suffer everlasting fire for their rejection of God and His commands. They each suffer. That is fair. But they don't each suffer to the same degree, just as the saints in heaven don't enjoy bliss to the same degree. That would be unjust in Heaven and in Hell.
The fact that there is both Heaven and Hell proves not everyone is equal. It's why irreligious globalists need to get people to stop thinking in those terms and are working like hell — and for Hell — to bring that about.

Trials and Warranties the Comfort Option way.
We're of the opinion that mattress warranties and trial periods being offered in the market don't really provide what customers need. Instead of offering benefits to customers, they're actually set up to control returns.
Based on that, we've developed Commitments and Partnerships in place of trials and warranties. We're here to provide comfort, not simply sell a product. We hope that can be seen in how we stand behind our mattresses and pillows.
Say goodbye to the gimmicky 100 day Trial concept. It's nice to have the peace of mind that you can try a mattress for 100 days and still return it and get your money back, but in that scenario you have to start mattress shopping all over again! No fun.
We have a better idea, rooted in the fact that we are truly committed to your comfort. Here's how our 30/90 Comfort Commitment works.
Try the mattress for 30 days.
If you don't like it after that, we'll reconstruct it for the next 90 days as many times as you need to try and get it right. And we'll do it without charging you a dime.
If we can't make it work, we'll take the mattress away and provide a full refund.
We'd rather not leave you mattress-less. If you're in our local area, we'll do this for you. If you're outside our area, we'll ship you new layers along with a prepaid shipping label and box for the old layers. Simple.
What happens if you simply don't like the mattress anymore, but you don't realize it until after the trial period and your preferences don't qualify for a warranty claim? What if you dog pees on your bed and you can't bear the smell? What if you have back surgery and simply need a different level of comfort? With other companies, you just have to buy a whole new mattress.
Not with Comfort Option. Our Forever Partnership provides options to continue to customize your mattress even after our 30/90 Comfort Commitment expires, whether there's defects in the mattress or not.
You tell us what you want. New top layer, new core, new cover. Whatever.
You pay for the material at a remarkably fair price - especially compared to a new mattress.
We send you what you need and you reconstruct the mattress as needed. Or, if your in our local area, we'll do it for you. No expiration on this. It's literally forever.
This warranty is provided by Foamcraft, Inc., owner of Comfort Option branded mattresses and pillows, to you as the original purchaser of your Comfort Option mattress and/or pillow (s). We warrant that the foam material in the "Comfort Option Customized Mattress", "Alpha, by Comfort Option" Mattress Products, and all Comfort Option Pillow Products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under ordinary use for ten years (mattresses) and two years (pillows) from the date of the original purchase, with the exceptions stated below. Body impressions, mattress sag, and product height loss qualify as defects in the foam core and are covered by this warranty which exceed 1 inch in depth below the original level of the product (mattresses) and 2 inches in depth below the original level of the product (pillows).
If the foam material in the product proves defective during the warranty period and you follow the instructions provided here, we will take one of the following actions: (1) free replacement of the Product with either a new or refurbished Product that is the same as or similar to the Product you purchased; (2) repair the Product using either new or refurbished parts; or (3) refund to you the original purchase price of the Product.
This warranty does not cover the following: comfort preference and changes in desired feel; imperfections of the fabric cover; slight body impressions (less than 1 inch in depth in mattresses and less than 2 inches in depth in pillows); any abuse or unsanitary product condition; or damage caused by improper use or care. Failure to follow the manufacturer's use and care instructions may void this warranty. The zipper on the mattress is only for use in the manufacturing process, or customization process, and should not be zipped open or closed at any time by the consumer without instructions provided by Foamcraft, Inc. and Comfort Option representatives. Using the zipper without instructions to do so will void your warranty. Mattress covers should not be removed to launder or for any other reason not recommended by Foamcraft, Inc. or Comfort Option. Removing the mattress cover will void your warranty. Laundering the pillow cover will void the warranty, as doing so could change the feel of the pillow, thus creating a preference change. Foamcraft, Inc. does not warrant that its products are suitable for any person's medical condition or that it will protect the user against bacteria, viruses, or other disease organisms. This warranty only covers the foam material in the product and does not apply to the fabric cover, zipper, or mattress cover.
In the event the Foamcraft, Inc. determines the warranty claim does not qualify as a defect, but rather is a comfort preference; change in desired feel; contains only a slight body impression; the cover or foam core was damaged by abuse or unsanitary product conditions; or improper use or care; Foamcraft, Inc. will not provide a free replacement of the Product or Parts. However, for Mattress Products except "Alpha Lite," Foamcraft, Inc. will provide material replacement for foam components or mattress covers, at the cost to the customer, without charging additional fees for labor or delivery. This option has no expiration after purchase and is commonly referred to as our Forever Partnership.
There is no assurance, representation or warranty that any replacement product will be identical to or will offer the exact same functionalities as the product returned to Foamcraft, Inc. Technological advances and product availability may result in your receiving a replacement product with a lower or higher selling price than the original product you purchased. In all cases, product comparability will be determined by Foamcraft, Inc., who commits to using its experience to provide the best solution possible for the customer.
This warranty applies to any replaced product or part, or to any repair performed on your mattress or pillow for the remainder of the original ten-year warranty period or for 90 days from the shipment of any replacement product or part to you, whichever period is longer.
Customer Service will ask you questions to determine your eligibility under this limited warranty and will require either photography or an in-home visit to determine eligibility. If you are eligible, a free replacement order, repair order or refund will be issued. If we provide you with a replacement or to repair your product, we will pay the cost of shipping the replacement or repaired product to you, or for performing the repair service in your home.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Home » Resources » Herbs For Health » Goji
Goji is a popularized phonetic take on the Chinese name for the fruit, Gou Qi Zi, while the name Matrimony Vine is used because taking Goji can improve fertility. Lycium barbarum, translates as the thorn from Lycia, and Lycia was an ancient city in what is now modern Turkey, hence the name Asian Boxthorn.
But where did the name Wolfberry come from? It's not clear, but one theory is Turkey's neighbour, Greece, has a word, lycos, which means wolf and wolves eat berries and fruits for dietary fibre. Wolves also eat a type of tomato, called a wolf peach. In South America, wolves also eat a type of tomato known there as a wolf apple.
The wolf peach, wolf apple and the Goji or Wolfberry, all belong to the Solanaceae family along with other nightshades like the tomato. So it is possible wolves ate Wolfberries and that is how the Wolfberry got its name. The reason Goji or Wolfberry has been used as a super–food and revered medicinal for thousands of years is, however, no mystery, thanks to modern scientific analysis.
This amazing plant, a perennial shrub of up to 5 metres, can grow at altitudes of up to 4000 metres, bearing beautiful little bell shaped lavender coloured flowers.
Common Name: Goji (Wolfberry)
Botanical Name: Lycium barbarum L.
Other Names: Wolfberry,Asian Boxthorn, Matrimony Vine, Gou Qi Zi
Growing Area: Native to the valleys of the Himalayas, and South-Eastern Europe.
Nutrients & Applications:
A veritable nutritional powerhouse, this red little raisin look-a-like is accredited with containing 19 amino acids, including 8 essential ones,21 trace minerals, including germanium, a rare mineral that helps the immune system fight cancer. It contains the complete spectrum of antioxidant carotenoids, including beta-carotene and zeaxanthin, the latter helping to reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration. Goji berries contain more protein than whole wheat, and are the second richest source of vitamin C in the plant kingdom.
Goji berries contain B-complex vitamins, vitamin E, and beta-sitosterol, an anti-inflammatory agent which can lower cholesterol, treat sexual impotence and prostate enlargement. The essential fatty acids found in Gojis, such as linoleic acid,are required for hormone production as well as smooth brain and nervous system functioning.
Goji berries contain cyperone, which benefits the heart and normalises blood pressure, alleviates menstrual discomfort, and has been used in the treatment of cervical cancer. The solavetivone in Goji is a powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial compound. Goji berries contain betaine, a bioflavonoid, which is used by the liver to produce choline, a compound that calms nervousness, enhances memory, promotes muscle growth, and protects against fatty liver disease. Betaine also provides methyl groups in the body's energy reactions and can help reduce levels of homocysteine, a prime risk factor in heart disease. Goji's polysaccharides help to fortify our immune system and balance blood sugar.
The fresh edible foliage is used in many Asian homes where it is cooked in soups and stews or used to make tea. Lycium root bark is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine where it is considered sweet in taste and neutral in nature. Goji acts on the liver, lungs, and kidneys and enriches yin. Berries can be eaten raw, cooked or drunk as a juice.
With a resume like that you may think Goji is for everyone, but sadly if you take blood thinners, or are allergic to nightshades, they may not be for you. Always check with your health care provider first!

In the meanwhile, we finally got around to include a form for signing our Dublin-II call. Since the whole idea with signing through the comment function didn't work so well, we adjusted and now invite you again to support the cause.
There is actually movement on the Dublin-II issue, at least in Germany. The highest court i.e. the constitutional court, ruled yesterday that they would decide on a case brought forward by an Iraqi refugee in Germany. Since he had been registered in Greece before, the german authorities wanted to deport him to Greece so that he could seek asylum there, in accordance with Dublin II. This deportation was now stopped by the constitutional court, and they will have a hearing on the issue.

UCC Global partners with the University of Arizona to deliver Undergraduate & Graduate Degrees across the Commonwealth
May 12, 2021 – The University of the Commonwealth Caribbean/UCC Global Campus, Jamaica, West Indies, is pleased to announce its latest Global partnership with the University of Arizona, headquartered in Tucson, Arizona.
This exclusive regional agreement (non-exclusive across the wider Commonwealth) makes it possible for students across the Caribbean – approximately twenty countries including Jamaica – to pursue proposed dual or UArizona stand-alone bachelor's and master's degrees from either the UArizona or both of these highly reputable and institutionally accredited higher education institutions, without leaving their country.
UCC's Founder & Group Executive Chairman, Dr Winston Adams, noted that "the University was once again breaking new frontiers & boundaries, as an entrepreneurial pacesetter in developing and implementing such an imaginative transnational higher education partnership, including projected arrangements for team-teaching and collaborative research". "It's all about what's possible and what lies just beyond the imagination". "Like the UArizona, we pride ourselves on spurring disruptive innovation, creating new opportunities, igniting success and making a meaningful impact in people's lives"
The new partnership with the UCC Global Campus, ultimately also encompassing the wider Commonwealth region, to explore in the future, countries in Africa and South East Asia, will add to the rapidly growing University of Arizona Microcampus Network, with some 650+ locations worldwide.
"Not only does an Arizona Microcampus location help solve the mobility challenges of today caused by COVID-19, it is a meaningful and long-term effort at meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goal of providing accessible quality education to the world," said University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins.
The University of Arizona is ranked in the Top 100 Best Global Universities by U.S. News and World Report, and is among the Top 1% of 20,000+ Universities Worldwide, according to the Center for World University.
With an estimated 400 million people in developing countries lacking access to higher education, U.S. universities seeking to internationalize have only scratched the surface of the opportunities to help meet the world's need for affordable, globally accessible and high-quality education. A few U.S. & UK universities have set up international branch campuses, including at least four at the UCC's main campus itself, since 2000.
Currently, most students from other countries who want to earn a U.S. degree must still migrate to the U.S. to do so.
It is estimated that at least 5,000 Jamaicans traditionally migrate each year to study in the U.S. However, the current pandemic has changed the landscape. Most potential Jamaican and Caribbean high school graduates and other Caribbean nationals who would have set their sights on migrating to the U.S. this year to pursue an international U.S. degree clearly will be unable to do so, and must therefore remain at home.
Moreover, the cost of a U.S. education vastly exceeds per capita income in the majority of developing countries, and most U.S. universities offer limited scholarships to international students, generally expecting them to pay full tuition. The advantages of a U.S. education have often been reserved for a "global elite," and for the vast majority of the developing world, a U.S. education has not been in the realm of possibility.
Answering the call to provide greater access to a top U.S. education, the University of Arizona (UArizona) has developed a new model for transnational education through the UArizona Microcampus Network.
"The events that caused the current situation in international education have hastened the dawn of a post-mobility world in which physical travel is unnecessary for the creation and transmission of knowledge across borders," said Brent White, vice provost of global affairs at UArizona.
"Almost overnight, courses have transitioned to online, and international students are continuing to study safely and affordably while remaining at home in their own countries. We want to help them achieve their dreams of a U.S. degree, no matter the circumstances."
A regional network of Microcampuses
As a University of Arizona Microcampus Location, UCC will leverage the latest technology to deliver cutting-edge education to high school graduates and working adults online, or in a blended delivery format, on a full-time or part-time basis, throughout Jamaica and the wider Caribbean region, while preserving an in-class, on-campus experience.
Moreover, this new University of the Commonwealth Caribbean/University of Arizona partnership will engage select UCC international online & local faculty and UArizona faculty, who will develop and deliver the anticipated dual-degree or stand alone degree programs together, co-teaching courses online and onsite in the Caribbean. Students will be able to take UCC courses at the same time they take UArizona courses, allowing for fully integrated dual-degree programs.
Unlike studying abroad or taking traditional courses at home, this collaborative approach to program development and teaching will also allow students in the Caribbean to learn about course materials situated in the local context of their home countries, and from an international perspective.
Because the significant cost-savings of the model will enable UArizona and UCC to set tuition at local market rates, this greatly increases access and affordability by eliminating the substantial costs of living abroad.
Annual tuition for recent high school graduates and working adults across the Caribbean for a proposed dual degree (i.e. two bachelor's degrees or a bachelor's and an accelerated master's degree), which can be completed in only 4-5 years, could range between US$5,000 per annum to US$7,500/year for dual bachelor's degrees, or US$9,000/year for a stand-alone degree, or US$12,000 for an entire 18-month stand-alone masters degree from the University of Arizona. The above subsidized tuition for a UArizona bachelor's degree should be compared with the standard US$37,000 per annum for the exact same undergraduate degree offered on the main campus in Arizona – excluding other major costs such as accommodation, living expenses, travel, etc. that would also be incurred.
As a result of this unique model, the local & regional tuition for either dual degrees or stand-alone bachelor's degrees will, therefore, only be a small fraction of the tuition in the U.S., as all students successfully admitted will be receiving a 45% – 55% UCC Foundation US Inc. tuition scholarship.
Sustainable internationalization
Beyond fostering top international education and even greater career competitiveness for graduates worldwide, this new innovative partnership will also act as a hub for joint faculty research in the Caribbean – a collaboration that will naturally extend from a teaching model that will cultivate close working relationships between the University of Arizona and the UCC faculty.
Additionally – as the model is financially self-sustaining – it will promote sustainable internationalization, providing a platform and physical location for faculty training and exchange, and other forms of engaged learning.
The model also enables mobility, as UCC Global Campus and UArizona Microcampus students in the Caribbean will be free to study at the Main Campus in Tucson, Arizona, for a summer or a semester, at the same local tuition rate during their program of study. Similarly, students at the University of Arizona will be able to earn part of their degree at any Arizona Microcampus location at the UCC throughout the Caribbean.
The program, for which entry is expected to be quite competitive, is scheduled to begin in Jamaica during September and November 2021, and in January 2022, and in other Caribbean islands, during November 2021 and January 2022.
The University of the Commonwealth Caribbean estimates that approximately 5,000 Caribbean students will initially be targeted for entry by the spring semester 2022.
Applications for Jamaican students will tentatively open on May 24, 2021 via the UCC/UCC Global Campus website. The first virtual information session is planned for June 1, 2021.


Upgrading an OS is not always a smooth process, especially when you have purchased and installed several software on your current version of Windows. Imagine you bought some programs for Photo and video editing, Anti-Virus, PDF editing, etc.. on your Windows 7 PC and now you wanted to upgrade to Windows 10 and in a big dilemma as to what happens to those old programs? Unfortunately, the answer is not simple 'Yes' or 'No'. You need to completely understand how is Windows 10 different from the earlier versions of Windows, more interestingly Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 8.
Basically, Windows 10 is same as Windows 7/8.1/8 when it comes to what is under the hood. Microsoft doesn't change the basic architecture of platform with every version of Windows. For near-by Windows versions, they only apply some tweaks to performance, major changes in UI, and better integration and compatibility with latest technology, devices, and drivers. therefore if programs that you have installed on Windows 7/8 are running smoothly, then you should not have any trouble in Windows 10. Having said that, note that if you had age old programs on Windows XP that were not compatible with Windows 7 in first place, then don't expect it will magically work in Windows 10.
The only problems you may see is the incompatibility of programs due to old drivers and hardware, but again, if it was working on Windows 7, they should be compatible with Windows 10 too. However, just like Windows 7 did, Windows 10 also has the awesome backward compatibility mode. By using this feature you can fake and tell the incompatible program that you are using Windows 7, although you are on Windows 10. To do that, you need to right-click on the program or shortcut and go to 'Properties'.
Check the box 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' and select the Windows version where the program was running smoothly. Click 'OK'.
Now Windows 10 will apply corresponding OS settings only to the selected program and should run without problems.
On the other hand you can download and install 'Get Windows 10' app from Windows store and use it to get a report of what programs are compatible to Windows 10 and what not.

Whether it be embezzling over $70,000 or spitting soup on a car, former Charleston Animal Society acting president and executive director Charles Karesh finds himself in hot water.
State Law Enforcement Division agents arrested Karesh, 56, on Friday, February 1, and charged him with embezzling $71,388 from the Charleston Animal Society.
Karesh resigned from the Animal Society in December 2011 after questions swirled when $69,000 went missing from the organization.
This charge comes on the heels of Karesh's second-most recent arrest, malicious injury to property, for spitting soup on a former Animal Society board member's car during multiple occasions.
For the entirety of this story, take a look at The Post and Courier article here.

HENNESSY V.S.O.P CELEBRATES THE PAST BY LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
For the 200th anniversary of Hennessy V.S.O.P, a special limited edition carafe pays tribute to its heritage and "The Future of Mastery".
In March 1818, when the future king George IV of England received his specially commissioned "tierçon cask of excellent quality old pale" from James Hennessy, a small revolution took hold.
Since Hennessy's founding, the Hennessy and Fillioux families have approached cognac-making differently, together. With what would be called Hennessy V.S.O.P, James Hennessy and Jean Fillioux created a new style of cognac that would transform the art of cognac making, inspiring the future "Very Superior Old Pale" designation. Since that first delivery, Hennessy V.S.O.P remained the ideal expression of a perfectly balanced cognac.
Over the next two centuries, as the world was being transformed by innovation, Hennessy V.S.O.P remained true to its roots, its quality unaltered thanks to the Hennessy master blenders who passed down the secrets of this timeless cognac from one generation to the next.
To this day, Hennessy's continually produced cognac retains its original, unique character. At Hennessy, we believe that "our heritage is our future".
The Hennessy V.S.O.P 200th anniversary limited edition carafe
For this milestone anniversary, the house wished to pay tribute to the legacy of Hennessy V.S.O.P, but with a timelessly forward-looking spirit.
The original cognac bottle, known as the "charentaise", dates back to the mid-19thth century. For Hennessy V.S.O.P.'s 200th anniversary, Hennessy has rethought the architectural, slope-shouldered charentaise in a limited edition carafe. Archival design elements, notably the house's vine leaf motif and vintage stamps, have been inspired from the cognac's original label. This homage to the past comes in a distinctly modern coffret in brushed aluminum bearing words excerpted from the future King George IV's request for a "very superior old" cognac. The use of copper-colored embellishment nods to the traditional alembics used to distill eaux-de-vie; its handle in full-grain natural leather will take on the patina of time, recalling the aprons worn by "coopers", the artisans who craft barrels from staves of aged oak.
Hennessy V.S.O.P x Can Buyukberber
For the 200th anniversary edition of Hennessy V.S.O.P, the House chose to collaborate with the futuristic visual artist Can Buyukberber, one of the most innovative and directional digital talents working today.
The San Francisco-based Turkish artist's technique of using projection mapping and digital fabrication calls upon the many facets of perception, merging yesterday, today and tomorrow in one original and continuous creative expression.
Buyukberber captures Hennessy V.S.O.P's forward-looking ethos in a serpentine coil that encircles the carafe and blurs the boundaries between physical and digital space. The Hennessy V.S.O.P theme "Our heritage is our future" crystalizes in a campaign visual that depicts the energy of the brand through leading-edge technology. Sinuous, illuminated swirls of digital art implicitly emphasize the emotion of appreciating cognac in one fluid expression, seamlessly linking the House's past with the potential of future innovation.
About Hennessy V.S.O.P
In perpetuating the legacy of the original cognac created for the future King of England, Hennessy master blenders have honed the art of "Harmony Mastered from Chaos" based on the finest qualities nature has to give, Hennessy V.S.O.P is the definitive expression of a perfectly balanced cognac. Created from a selection of firmly structured eaux-de-vie, aged largely in partially used barrels in order to take on subtle levels of oak tannins, this highly characterful cognac reveals balanced aromas of fresh vanilla, cinnamon and toasty notes that come together in seamless perfection.
About Can Buyukberber
A Fulbright scholar, the 31 year-old artist Can Buyukberber received his master's degree in Art & Technology from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2017. His geodesic domes and virtual reality headsets have toured museums, galleries and media art festivals worldwide. Other large-scale projects include projections on the ceiling of Grand Central Station Terminal in New York and a permanent outdoor installation at MGM National Harbor near Washington, D.C.
ABOUT HENNESSY
From the French region of Cognac and throughout its 250-year history, Hennessy has proudly perpetuated an exceptional heritage based on adventure, discovery and cultivating the best that nature and man can offer. Hennessy's longevity and success across five continents reflect the values the Maison has upheld since its creation: the transmission of a unique savoir-faire, the constant (con)quest for innovation, and an unwavering commitment to Creation, Excellence, Legacy, and Sustainable Development. Today, these qualities are the hallmark of a House – a crown jewel in the LVMH Group – that crafts some of the most iconic, prestigious cognacs in the world.

Joey Leach scores his first career AHL goal as he leads the Bears past the Wolf Pack 3-1. Joe Snively records 1 goal and 2 assists for his first career multi-point game. Samsonov gets his 20th win of the season. First time two Bears goalies (Samsonov and Vanecek) have 20 win seasons in the same year since 2007-2008 (Darren Machesney and Frederic Cassivi).
Photos in this post are courtesy of Just Sports Photography / Hershey Bears.
The Hershey Bears (42-25-3-4) face off against the Hartford Wolf Pack (29-35-7-4) for the final regular season game of the season. Playoff positioning is locked in for the Bears. They will battle against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in the first round of the Calder Cup Playoffs.
It took less than a minute for the Wolf Pack get themselves on the scoresheet. After a flurry of shots for Ilya Samsonov, the Bears tried to clear the zone. Darren Raddysh intercepted the puck and threw a low wrist shot on net that surprised Samsonov and just squeeked by him. This opened the scoring and gave Hartford a 1-0 lead.
Hershey responded in the second half of the period. Joe Snively rushed the puck up the ice and created space for Shane Gersich to advance on a 2 on 1. Gersich found Chris McCarthy on the opposite side. McCarthy selected a wrist shot as his weapon and scored his first goal as a Hershey Bear. This tied the game at 1-1 going into the locker room.
Recently called up from the South Carolina Sting Rays, Joey Leach returns to the Bears and scores his first career AHL goal. The shot came from the point and was a blast! The puck deflected off of a defenseman in front and past Adam Huska. This gave Hershey a 2-1 lead.
The Bears locked down the defensive zone, making it incredibly difficult for Hartford to enter the zone. When the Wolf Pack actually made it past the blue line, they never got the puck into the slot and created offense to get back into the game.
Joe Snively scored an empty net goal, recording his 7th point in just his 9th career game. This was his first multi point game of his career.
The Bears go on to defeat the Wolf Pack 3-1!

Is this enamel sign worth? 1933.
Near mint, but with a print mistake in top right corner of the packet. The corner lines don't make a corner.It was going to be scrapped, because of the mistake, so, rare.
May sell, to help get the van back on the road. I've seen proper bad ones on fleabay for over £300.00.
Take it to Sothebys or the like. Who periodically run themed auctions . It may do better than eBay even taking into account commision..

A rustling of the leaves. A creaking of the wooden walls. A whispering of the breeze. All these were things that I heard as sat alone, in the depths of my mansion. I was, as usual, reading the occult texts that my family had passed down from generations ago, written in an ancient language few would understand. These books had always been my childhood fascination, ever since my father died. I have constantly sought the secret to necromancy, but yet, it remained beyond me. I scoured the entire world for any possible hint of a ritual to make my father come back alive. Oh, I have been looking for so long, yet the truth evades me. Both my parents had been alchemists and cultists in an obscure organization, which I only remembered in my childhood as symbolized by a single human eye, wide open and staring, enclosed in a crystalline pyramid, with blood dripping down from the sides. Once, I remembered seeing it glowing with an almost alluring light, stirring something deep within.
For that reason, I had always hated eyes, and which is why, in a fit of despair over my parents' deaths, I had violently torn my eyes clean out of its socket and swallowed it whole to try cleanse myself of any relationship with that vague society. Most fortunate it was though, that with the loss of one of my eyes, my hearing had become so acute as to be able to the heartbeat of those around me. That was why I moved into my secluded mansion, after slowly getting rid of every last servant, hiding their eyeless bodies deep in the dungeons that my parents used.
However, there is still one book of forbidden knowledge that I have never read, and that is the stache of my parents greatest treasure ‒ the most dangerous and insanity-causing tome, which is said to have driven many mad by mere mention of its name. However, this book is behind It, and never once shall I go down there again, since It was the most horrorible thing, a Final Judgement on any who look upon it, worse than even incanting the names of the Old Gods Who Rule The Void. The only time I had went to see It caused me such distress that I was found walking, half undressed, wandering the forest around my house, covered with hideous scratches and lacerations, with curiously shaped bite marks on my arms. Such agony must I have been subjected to, since I have no memory whatsoever of the actual event. It is something that I can never face, not even if the deepest secrets of the Universe were revealed to me, not even if the fabled Elder Gods awake from their deep slumber and make me be subject to their whims.
Yet,as the night grew long, as my senses grew more acute, I began to grow restless. I knew with an unnatural certainty, that the final secrets to necromancy were behind IT. I began to talk to myself, arguing back and forth with the bloodied paintings, each lacking their left eye. I cannot decide. I must decide. I must seek the forbidden knowledge, hidden deep in my mansion by my ancestor of days past. I must go.
With my torch in hand, its flame casting curiously shaped shadows onto the walls, I descended into the depths. With each passing step down, I began to feel an unrelenting presence behind my back. No matter how many times I turned to look behind me, I could not see a single shadow out behind me, and even when pausing to listen intently with my sharp hearing, I heard nothing. As i went even deeper into the darkest corners of my house, I felt as if the very light emanating from my torch began to fade and whittle in the all consuming darkness. As I walked around the corridor, leading to IT, I braced myself, and holding my torch out in front of me, I walked around.
What I saw next was… Nothing… Nothing at all. Only heap of bones, vaguely resembling two humans holding each other close. Wait… What's that necklace that lies around the neck of one? Oh no.. Oh no… My family's prized locket. How did it come to rest here, out of all places? How?
Then, I felt old memories, blocked out by age and by my own will, rise again to the surface… I had been the one who killed my own parents at the age of 6, by locking them down here with no light. With this realization, my madness finally consumed me… In a fit of rage, I took a knife and tore jagged holes through my own abdomen, and drew a bloodied pentagram on the floor. No doubt that you, reading this now, can see all of this clearly, for I have brought my own end upon myself, and rightfully so.

"Looking Back" is a little sketch I did recently while at the Morro Bay Arts Festival this past 4th of July. Horses are so lovely with all of their own personalities and quirks. That's what made me want to draw this picture. Hope you like it!
By the way, if you are in the area this upcoming Labor Day weekend, Morro Bay is having another Arts in the Park Festival. The weather should be fantastic!!! Come by and check it out, its free and fun.
The only bad part is that I'll have to leave my mascot behind (the fireworks hurts his ears)… Here he is waiting for the tennis ball to drop off the roof of the garage.
If you find that you can't make it out to see my artwork this coming up weekend, but still want to check out my artwork, you can come out to Oxnard Harbor the following weekend, July 11-12th. I'd love to see you!
My new page, Behind the Scenes is completed! This page walks you through the progress of the drawing "Captivated", released in the spring of 2007. The original of this drawing was sold on opening night in the Morro Bay Art Association Gallery Exhibition. Prints always make a great gift without spending a lot of money. Limited edition prints of "Captivated" are available. Let me know how I can help you send a print of "Captivated" to someone you know!

Role and Responsibilities of the Ombudsman
In a statement released on 19 July 2021, the Office of the Judiciary announced that Ruth Herunga, Tousy Namiseb and Basilius Dyakugha would be interviewed for the Ombudsman post. The post was advertised and only four candidates applied with the aforementioned three being selected for the interview stage.
The successful candidate will succeed John Walters as Namibia's Ombudsman. Walters was appointed in July 2004 as Ombudsman by Namibia's first president Sam Nujoma. Walters served as Namibia's third permanently appointed Ombudsman since independence taking over the position that Acting Judge Simpson Mtambanengwe held in an acting capacity since the Ombudsman post became vacant with the appointment of second Ombudsman Bience Gawanas as an African Union Commissioner in September 2003. According to the Constitution, the Ombudsman should either be a Judge or a person possessing the legal qualifications which would entitle him or her to practice law in all the Courts of Namibia.
Internationally, an Ombudsman is usually an independent, non-partisan official who exercises oversight over public administration. An Ombudsman often has the power to investigate, report upon, and make recommendations on individual cases, administrative procedures, and relevant systemic changes.
Namibia's Office of the Ombudsman was entrenched when the Constitution came into operation on 21 March 1990. The most relevant legal provisions with regard to the Ombudsman are found in Chapter 10 of the Namibian Constitution as well as in the Ombudsman Act (No. 7 of 1990). Initially, the mandate of the Ombudsman in Namibia related to four broad categories: human rights, administrative practices, corruption, and the environment. However, the corruption element was removed in 2010 when the Anti-Corruption Commission was made a constitutional body (although strangely a clause mentioning the misappropriation of funds was left in the Ombudsman's mandate).
In Namibia, the Ombudsman is appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Judicial Service Commission. The latter consists of the Chief Justice, a judge appointed by the President, the Attorney-General, and two members of the legal profession. The appointing process consists of the Judicial Service Commission's recommendation and the subsequent formal act of proclamation by the President. In all the appointments of people to the office since independence, the constitutional two-stage appointment process has been observed. With regard to the appointment of an acting or deputy Ombudsman, respective provisions are contained in the Ombudsman Act.
The Ombudsman also enjoys a fixed, long term of office. Article 90(2) of the Constitution provides that the Ombudsman holds office until the age of 65. However, the retiring age may be extended by the President to the age of 70. The Ombudsman Act states that the appointment of the Ombudsman is required to be in accordance with such terms and conditions as the President may determine.
The Office of the Ombudsman is intended to function as an independent. Broadly speaking, the Ombudsman in Namibia investigates complaints about the violation of fundamental rights and freedoms and about the administration of all organs of government. The Ombudsman can try to obtain a compromise between the parties concerned, bring the matter to the attention of the authorities, refer the matter to the courts, or seek judicial review. As the Ombudsman's role is to recommend an administrative response to grievances instead of issuing binding orders, some argue that the office-holder's bark is fiercer than their bite.
Complaints may be submitted to the Office of the Ombudsman by any person, free of charge and without specific form requirements. The Office of the Ombudsman cannot investigate complaints regarding court decisions, however. Neither can the Office assist complainants financially or represent a complainant in criminal or civil proceedings.
Ombudsman's offices are state entities, which means they rely on public funds and must maintain political support for continued funding. The Office, unlike other independent constitutional institutions such as the Anti-Corruption Commission and the Electoral Commission of Namibia, does not have its own budget despite the importance of its mandate.
One of the challenges mentioned by the outgoing Ombudsman in a podcast conversation with The Namibian newspaper was the National Assembly's failure to debate and examine annual reports submitted by his office.
Another challenge is the broadness of the Ombudsman's mandate, which can be seen as too diverse and fragmented – being spread across human rights, administrative issues, environmental protection, and misappropriation of funds. This makes the role of the Ombudsman difficult to fulfil, especially as the Office is not resourced to deal with all these issues.
In an unprecedented move, the Judicial Service Commission decided to hold public interviews for the shortlisted candidates by livestreaming proceedings. The interviews which were originally scheduled for the 23 July but have been postponed until 27 August. As a result, the term of office for the incumbent, John Walters, has been extended until the end of September 2021. The successful candidate will serve as Namibia's fourth permanently appointed Ombudsman.

I didn't mention that there's also the Roland Blues Cube which is technically the same brand company as BOSS, but I won't go there.
Just the same, there has been discussion as to which amp to consider. Well, considering the pricing, I'd say both. BUT, it's really the sound that matters and what you're after.
VERY cool! There are notable differences between the valve amps and Nextone, but at least to my ears, they're not differences that couldn't be narrowed with a bit of EQ. I particularly liked the sound of the EL84 setting on the Nextone. It was nice and bright, while the actual AC30 was a little warmer.
Back to the question: Which one to choose?
This is a tough one to answer because – at least for me – I love the versatility of the Nextone, but on the other hand, what I love about the Katana is that it has a sound all its own. I set it up to have a response and midrange hump like a Marshall, but it doesn't sound like a Marshall, so it kind of stands on its own in that respect.
I would totally consider the Nextone if I was doing a lot of covers. Being able to get the sound of different power amp sections would be totally useful for that. Also, this amp would be great for recording.
I use different amps for different songs so I could see using this to get a Fender sound when I'm recording reggae-style music. Then when I want a more hard-driving sound, I'd switch to the EL34 to get that Marshall sound. The versatility is incredible.
But that said, as with any amp, you have to do a lot of tweaking to dial in just the right sound. I imagine that would take a bit of time to dial in each power section model. That's not a negative mark against the Nextone, but that kind of versatility comes at a price, and for someone like me who prefers to just plug in and play from the get-go, tweaking can be a bit tedious. It was an issue I had with my Line 6 Flextone III. Nice-sounding amp, but it required quite an investment of time to get it dialed in.
So to answer the question, if you want a lot of versatility, and are willing to tweak, definitely consider the Nextone. If you want something with a sound all its own, and much more plug in and play, then the Katana makes a lot of sense.
I'm convinced the speaker in the Nextone is what's holding it back. There is just an overarching coloration in every video I've seen that reminds me of the speaker in my old Line 6 spider. That coloration went away when I tested the spider through a different speaker. I want to hear the Nextone with a better speaker.
Luckily in May, Jensen will be releasing the Jet "D" Series amps for digital amps. I want to try one out in my Katana.
Does using sneaky amps on the katana allow it to cover much of the same ground as the nextone (or at least get a close approximation) in you opinion?
To be honest, I really wouldn't know. If the amp models are based on BOSS' TubeLogic, I'm willing to bet that you'd probably get pretty damn close. But that's not something I think I will personally do with my Katana because I love its natural sound; especially when pushed. And because I don't use the built-in effects, I also turned the noise suppressor WAY down.

Leon and Valentina are just two of the thousands of animals the Alliance was able to help in 2015 with the support of our generous donors.
This year, thanks to our Past Key Initiatives and our successful partnerships with 150+ Alliance Participating Organizations (APOs), we achieved an unprecedented 90% community-wide Live Release Rate for New York City's shelter animals. We succeeded in saving more than 9 out of every 10 lives at Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) in 2015, and we have saved more than 300,000 lives since 2003.
Today, New York City has been transformed into a markedly more humane community than when we began, thanks to YOU — our valued partners and supporters who dedicate time and resources to benefit NYC's animals.
Every day at the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals brings new challenges. Whether we're working to move animals out of the City shelter and into placement via our Wheels of Hope program, training New Yorkers to perform Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and care for community cats through our NYC Feral Cat Initiative, helping our community's most vulnerable pet owners keep their pets despite difficult circumstances via our Helping Pets and People in Crisis program, or preparing for our large-scale Adoptapalooza events, every day is different.
Here's a glimpse at two of the Little New Yorkers you've helped by supporting our life-saving programs:
You made sure the Wheels kept turning for little Leon, who got to take the biggest trip in all of his four weeks to his new foster family in Massachusetts.
Gregarious Valentina was transferred out of the NYC shelter and moved to a new adoptive family in central New York thanks to your support!
What remains steadfast is your support. Every time you make a gift to the Alliance, you allow us to say YES to one more NYC animal who needs the Alliance. More pets and people than ever need the critical resources and services of the Alliance. With your help, we can sustain the dramatic impact we have made in the lives of New York City's animals, and keep saying YES.
Thank you for your support this year, and for joining us in the fight to save NYC's animals.

The new EU ePrivacy directive – the so-called "cookie law" – came into effect on 26 May. Are you now compliant? Are you worried about the impact it will have on your ability to see how people are using your website? Are you concerned you will no longer be able to target advertising and monitor marketing effectiveness? Will your website revenue be impacted by the implementation of the directive? What's the best way to be compliant?
We decided to do a controlled test using one of our websites to see the impact of the implementation of a level 2-3 (i.e. opt-in/out of groups of cookies) consent solution. We implemented an open source solution (a plug-in) with a consent bar at the top of the web pages. It's a belt and braces solution that requires the visitor to opt-in to cookies either on an "all" basis or "groups" basis.
The site uses Google Analytics and this would fail to track visitors unless they opted-in to analytics tracking. We ran the site this way for 24 hours and then compared the analytics data to the server logs. We then standardised the data against a normal Monday and estimated the effect of the cookie banner implementation.
The test provided some quite frightening results. It would appear that only 20% of visitors opted-in to allowing tracking cookies. The implication is that 80% of the traffic to the test site became invisible. Some of this traffic still converted and generated revenue, but we don't know how they got to the site and we don't know how they journeyed around the site. If we had been using Google Adwords to drive traffic to the site then it is uncertain that we would know which of the paid-for traffic was generating the revenue. This would make managing a Google Adwords campaign a lottery! A challenging prospect.
The other factor was that we judged that actual revenues from the site were down by 20% due to the cookie banner implementation – it is clear that some people when confronted by the cookie banner simply walked away from the site.
Obviously if we had been running the cookie opt-in banner for an extended period we could have optimised it to reduce its impact. For instance we could have come up with a better form of words to encourage people to accept cookies. However, it's hard to imagine that you could bridge the 80% "data gap" completely. And then there is the 20% "revenue gap" to consider.


While the holiday season is coming to a close, today we are going to take a look at a reference to a classic Christmas film which amazingly enough isn't a Disney film! While at Echo Lake, guests can find the following stack of crates near Min and Bill's Dockside Diner (another non-Disney reference that we will get to at some other time).
So what's up with the crates? Each of these crates pay homage to a different classic film in cinema history, but today, in honor of Christmas, we will look at the crate found closest to the picture!
The crate honors the 1946 classic, It's a Wonderful Life. If you recall, the film revolves around George Bailey (found on our ship to label). During the film George lives in the town of Bedford Falls where he falls in love with a girl named Mary who makes a wish that someday she would live in broken down home at the edge of town. The address for that house? 320 Sycamore of course! So how does our return address come into play?
While George just wants to get out of the crummy old town, his good deeds keep him grounded while the rest of his friends go off to live out their lives. His one friend in particular, Sam Wainwright, does extremely well for himself by setting up a successful business in New York City. The name of his business? Wainwright Enterprises of course!

Equatorial Guinea and Galicia add 76 billion euros to the economic weight of the "Portuguese-speaking" nations
Equatorial Guinea and Galicia are the two economies closest to joining the Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries (CPLP) and they may add almost 76 billion euros to the bloc's economic weight.
Equatorial Guinea, whose economy is worth US$19.7 billion (14.2 billion euros) is expected to join the CPLP in July and the autonomous Spanish region of Galicia, which has important historical and cultural ties with Portugal, this week adopted a law intended to boost its ties with the eight Portuguese-speaking nations.
Law 1/2014, also known as the Paz Andrade Law, "for making use of the Portuguese language and ties with Lusophony," noted that Portuguese is now the most widely spoken language in the southern hemisphere and is a working language for 20 international organisations, and the official language of "nine countries and the territory of Macau, China."
"Amongst them are economic powerhouses such as Brazil and other emerging economies," the law says, stipulating that Portuguese should be taught more in the region and used in public administration as well as promotion of the presence of entities and people from Portuguese-speaking countries at Galician Autonomous Community events.
"To improve Galician social, economic and cultural development, the authorities should promote all the measures necessary to best make use of that historical advantage," it said.
Without referring specifically to the CPLP or to Forum Macau, the two biggest diplomatic and political hubs of the Portuguese-speaking world, the Galician law stipulates "participation by institutions in Portuguese-speaking areas of all kinds," namely the economic and cultural sectors.
With 2.8 million inhabitants, Galicia's economy is worth around 55.8 billion euros and has important automotive, textile, forestry and other sectors.
Equatorial Guinea's membership of the CPLP is expected to be concluded in July, at the CPLP summit in Dili, after the country has fulfilled all of the requirements.
The economic weight of Equatorial Guinea, which is the result of a significant oil industry, is already felt in Portugal, where recently a public investment fund reached an agreement to buy a stake in the Banif bank.
According to the chairman of the Business Confederation of the Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries (CE-CPLP), Salimo Abdula, the joint gross domestic product (GDP) of the Portuguese-speaking countries now accounts for around 4 percent of total world GDP, and is expected to grow.
Speaking recently, Abdula said he expected Portuguese-speaking countries to account for 10 percent of world GDP, within ten to fifteen years, if governments join forces and focus on having a real economic community.
"We have the conditions, we have been blesses, we have the large scale natural resources that have been discovered over the last ten years, we have a young workforce and, if we position ourselves properly, taking the technology needed to provide added value to our natural resources where they exist, we can turn the CPLP into a star," Abdula told Portuguese news agency Lusa.
Trade between China and the Portuguese-speaking countries rose 2.31 percent in 2013 5o US$131.4 billion, with Brazil remaining as China's main economic partner (US$89.85 billion in trade, or 5.11 percent more year on year).
With Angola, which was the second-largest trading partner in the Portuguese-speaking world, trade fell by 4.24 percent, to US$35.91 billion, and with Portugal, which is the third-largest Portuguese-speaking partner, trade fell 2.78 percent to US$3.9 billion.
With Mozambique trade rose 22.6 percent to US$1.64 billion in 2013. (macauhub/PT)


The scientific procedure involved in human reproduction needs to be effective. Conception involves certain complicated physiological stages. There are certain systematic stages which lead to it. From the time the ovules and the sperms are formed to when conception take place, the organs need to enact each stage efficiently. Otherwise this could result in conditions of infertility. Thereby repeated attempts to conceive go in vain. However, there is good news in store for you. For it is one of the gifts of science, that has given hope to childless couples.
There are quite a number of fertility treatments available. These range between externally induced methods to injections, egg donation to even surgical procedures. Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer, is one of the forms of assisted reproductive technology. It combines the stages involved in both InVitro Fertilization as well as Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer. By resorting to Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer, the medical practitioner tries to stimulate the ovary to produce eggs.
Therefore, the initial stages in Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer comprise the prescribing of medication to women, which will help in the maturation of the egg follicles. The women is then administered anesthesia. The doctor collects these eggs. From here on the eggs are taken to a laboratory. The male partner's sperms are then made to fuse with the eggs. This procedure takes time. In other words the sperm and the egg are given time in order, for fertilization to take place.
The next stage in Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer comprises the transfer of fertilized eggs back into the female uterus. It is important to mention here that the renowned surgery, laparoscopy is carried out henceforth. A small incision is made just below the navel. The fertilized eggs are inserted into the fallopian tubes. About one to four embryos are inserted back into the system. They ovaries make their way to the uterus through the fallopian tube. It is here that the normal process of gestation starts.
This technique could not be recommended to women, whose fallopian tubes are blocked. On an average, 36% women have got pregnant by resorting to this technique.
It is known that 29% of women have given births to healthy babies. An interesting observation made in this respect is that childless couples can even have twins and triplets, since it involves the maturation of multiple embryos.
Do avail of more details from your gynecologist.
