Sweden has shown how not to tackle coronavirus, as it fights now to save face

Coronavirus Article Bar with counter ..
Two weeks ago Swedish state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell ruled supreme in Sweden. Almost literally. The Prime Minister, Stefan Löfven, was rarely seen whereas Mr Tegnell hosted a daily press conference.
The number of deaths in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland had not yet started to deviate sharply. Mr Tegnell claimed that the Swedish Health Agency was on top of the latest and most reliable facts and models. During a period of hysteria, he was widely hailed as a hero for his calm and seemingly scientific focus. Schools, workplaces and restaurants remained open.
Old people, claimed Tegnell, would be fine if younger Swedes refrained from visiting their elderly parents in retirement homes. Surely no one responsible for the health of a nation could be so certain that stricter measures were unnecessary? Unless also certain that Swedish circumstances really are special? Not when death curves were rising exponentially in other countries? Mr Tegnell had to be right, so therefore every critical non-Swedish expert had to be wrong.
This was a widely held view because, in consensus-oriented Sweden, no other views were taken seriously, until death rates started creeping up. Finland now counts 72 dead, Norway 150 and Denmark (the by far most densely populated Nordic country) 321. Sweden? 1333. Moreover, the Coronavirus has spread to a large number of retirement homes. Why? Because carers have proven to have little or no protective equipment, thereby making nonsense of the claim that the low level of intergenerational mixing in Sweden would protect the elderly.
Suddenly, attention turned to the sceptics. One of them is Björn Olsen, professor of infectious medicine at Uppsala University. Already in 2010 he published a book, Pandemic, in which he foretells much of today's coronavirus development. He recently demanded greater transparency from the Swedish Health Agency, including access to the data on which Anders Tegnell rests his case. Mr Olsen received nothing. He has also publicly criticised the health authorities – and indirectly the government – for abandoning the elderly. Two days ago, 22 Swedish experts signed a highly critical opinion piece in a leading paper, in which they argue that the Swedish Health Agency has failed miserably to protect the Swedish people. These experts are also saying that the government must step in - while waiting for additional testing kits, protective gear and treatment breakthroughs - and impose stricter rules.
However, numerous opinion leaders have invested plenty of personal prestige in Mr Tegnell's way of tackling the crisis. As a consequence, the critics have already been attacked with the type of sarcastic ferocity typical for those deviating from official Swedish positions, including accusations of shameful betrayal of the national effort. This time, the issue is extra sensitive since at stake is nothing less than ownership of the highly charged concept of solidarity.
The consensus has nevertheless been dented meaning the supremacy of Anders Tegnell, now increasingly evasive when asked about the development in other countries, is over. Also, the issue of "more could have been done" has a special significance in a country in which more still can be done. Crowds below 50, for example, are still allowed. Yesterday a much loved TV-entertainer passed away from Corona, aged 51. Such a tragedy might have a bigger psychological impact than 100 new deaths in care homes.

In most countries – including Denmark, Norway and in Finland - the National Health Authorities tend to exaggerate risks, to be on the safe side. The government then decides the trade-offs necessary. In Sweden, the Public Health Agency has, astonishingly, played down the health risks. Almost as astonishingly the government has, almost to the letter, followed the course recommended by Anders Tegnell. If looking at the history of the Swedish Social Democratic party, it is hard to deny its impressive record of statesmen who – in the realist vein of Clement Attlee – have stepped forward and offered clear and decisive leadership in times of crisis. Not so this time.
Anders Tegnell's numerous defenders continue to claim he remains the only cool guy around. However, there is also the possibility that he, a technocrat previously unused to the limelight, was initially seduced into a corner. Seduced by the sudden hero status gained when offering the comforting facts and interpretations we all wanted to be true.

It is now possible to conclude, sadly, that the more "relaxed" Swedish strategy is not likely to transform into a success story. Not only are death rates a lot higher than in comparable countries. Even the key economic argument – that the-show-must-go-on - might backfire. How so? Norway and Denmark appear to have the situation sufficiently in control to cautiously start opening up their societies. A phased reopening of Danish schools was initiated yesterday and, starting next week, Norway is planning a similar phasing in. A recent study drawing lessons from the Spanish flu crisis, produced jointly by the US Federal reserve and MIT, suggests a period of pain and uncertainty might turn out longer without the early lockdown pill:
"Cities that implemented early and extensive non-pharmaceutical interventions (like physical distancing and forbidding large gatherings) suffered no adverse economic effects over the medium term. On the contrary, cities that intervened earlier and more aggressively experienced a relative increase in real economic activity after the pandemic subsided."
The Swedish government and the Swedish Health Agency are no longer fighting for glory. Now they are fighting to get away without fatal wounds to their reputations. At least domestically, they might be able to pull it off. Officially, no one has admitted that the original course was imprudent, but step-by-step action has been taken that has nevertheless led to more prudence. On the field of practical reality, key workers have, throughout this crisis, achieved miracles which in a big way have compensated for the lack of political guidance.
In a society in which most elderly either live alone or are put away in care homes, it also seems perfectly possible the majority will accept the higher death toll – unless numbers turn out even more grotesque. If the Swedish Health Agency's interpretation of the most recent figures is correct, the number of new cases could finally be in decline. A by now typical message from the Prime Minister also has some merit: "Yes, more could have been done but now is not the time for reproach". Unless, that is, people keep dying who can be saved.

Morisot's prime reason for accompanying Chaffanjon's expedition to the source of the Orinoco River was to draw the region's flora. Therefore, it makes sense that these works are all executed in a larger format and on more substantial paper than the small sketches he made of the topography and culture along the river. He made these delicate and exquisitely detailed works under enormously difficult conditions. In his diary he describes the bugs that devoured his hands while he painted, his attempt to use gloves, and his abandonment of them because they restricted his movement too much.
The watercolors of plants by Morisot in this section possess a finish and stylization that surpasses scientific illustration. In fact, Morisot used some of the rendering of flowers he made during the expedition as the basis of textile designs later, after he had returned to France. Several of the works displayed here were probably done later, after his return. The appearance of the signature "AM," in which the feet both of the letters of Morisot's initials meet, supports this theory. This signature can be found on some but not all of the works, and is suggestive of art nouveau, a style which was emerging in France upon the artist's return and which he utilized in the textile designs that helped establish his reputation in Lyon.

Findhorn College
Holistic Education in an Ecovillage
You are here: Home / Blog / News / Re-villaging Community, part one: Increasing Connection
Re-villaging Community, part one: Increasing Connection by Jon Young, co-founder of the 8 Shields Institute
12 August 2018 by Melissa Godbeer
Over the past two years, the Findhorn Ecovillage has been consulting with two 8 Shields specialists, Deborah Benham & Rooth Cuthbertson exploring how the teachings of the 8 Shields Institute could be incorporated into the Findhorn College's 'Whole-Community Education' portfolio. This autumn Findhorn College will run a training inspired by the 8 Shields Institute called 'Regenerating Community Culture'.
In this article, Jon Young shares his reflections with Findhorn College about the original impulse that lead him to co-found the 8 Shields Institute.
When I first started dreaming into a new way forward for humanity, I was motivated by a desire to facilitate a deeper sense of ecological concern in those around me.
Nearly 40 years since then, my awareness and understanding have grown, and the vision of the 8 Shields Institute along with it. Nowadays the 8 Shields Institute has a big mission: to bring the benefits of Connection to everyone who needs them, no matter where they are.
Along the way, I have developed relationships with people, around the world, who believe that every person has the birthright to flourish surrounded by a loving community of people who mutually support each other to have health, happiness, vitality, meaning, purpose, hope, empathy, and caring. The 8 Shields Institute is co-building a global network that values Connection and sees the power of designing positive cultures which support Connection anywhere and everywhere; strengthening individuals and families; (re)building Connected communities and community networks.
If you're reading this, you are probably already engaged with and continually interested in doing 'good work' in the world. I'm grateful that you are. I'm incredibly thankful for all the people who are involved with projects aiming to change the world in a positive way, either regionally, or with a focus on families, or specific organizations. To me, this represents an amazing blossoming of creativity and brilliance happening in recent years. It inspires me and fills me with hope.
There are big challenges we face. Several prominent authors have broadly described three major 'divides' – an ecological divide, a socio-economic divide, and a spiritual-cultural divide.
At the 8 Shields Institute, we see these divides rising out of an epidemic of disConnection, which as you know did not start recently. It is a legacy of multiple generations of social displacement from conquest and colonization, and many unmet needs for healing. This has led to widespread disConnection from nature and from each other, both as individuals and as a global family. Many of us people in modern times experience this disConnection from our own senses of meaning, belonging, value, and well-being. At the 8 Shields Institute, we ask: How can we address this reality, and increase Connection?
At this time, we believe we need everyone to activate their gifts and work together on finding solutions to these challenges.
I look forward to seeing how Findhorn College's 'Regenerating Community Culture' course continues to strengthen connections between the 8 Shields Institute and Findhorn Ecovillage.

You've just had a good work out and your stomach is grumbling, demanding to be fed! Whether you're jumping, flipping, throwing, running or lifting, it's important to eat well after a good exercise session.
The best thing to eat after breaking a sweat is foods that will help to refuel and rehydrate your body, like carbs and lean protein. Protein contains amino acids which helps to repair and build muscle. Carbs act as fuel for your body, and aid in muscle recovery. In your post-workout meal, try to also include foods rich in healthy fats!
Here's a list of delicious and nutritious foods to incorporate into your post-workout feed.
Exercise, especially endurance based exercises like swimming and running, use up your glycogen stores which are used to fuel your body. That's why after a long work out, it's important to refuel with plenty of carbohydrates. The Glycemic Index usually divides carbs into two categories; complex carbs (low GI) and simple carbs (high GI). When planning your post-workout meal, it's better to choose carbs with a moderate to low GI.
When most people think of protein their mind goes straight to steak, but there are plenty of other nutritional sources of protein you can include in your after-gym meal. Legumes, turkey, tofu and nuts are all great for recovery, promoting healthy muscle and cell function.
When you're at the supermarket and you're planning your post-workout meal, remember to buy foods that are rich in fats. Yes, you read that right! Contrary to popular belief, fats can promote healthy brain and heart activity and has awesome benefits for your skin and hair. Healthy fats are what you're looking for!
Remember that everything is good in moderation! Provided you have a healthy balance of fats, carbs and protein in your post-workout feed, you'll be right as rain.

Hands up if you've ever experienced that bloated, uncomfortable feeling, especially after meals or at the end of the day? Well, you're not alone.


As the U.S. continues to reel from a white nationalist rally earlier this month that left one person dead and more than a dozen injured, a recent documentary is giving an uncensored look into the hatred and violence unleashed that day.
A 20-minute documentary from Vice News Tonight, called Charlottesville: Race and Terror, follows correspondent Elle Reeve as she goes behind the scenes with white nationalists and neo-Nazis at the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Through her reporting, she meets with counter protestors and activists, as well as some of America's most well-known white nationalists, including David Duke, former Imperial Wizard of the KKK, Christopher Cantwell and Robert Ray.
While well aware of the rally in Charlottesville (between the media taking Trump to task for blaming "many sides" for the violence and Twitter users giving up-to-the-minute updates, there was no avoiding it) initially, I was hesitant to watch. Simply put, while it's one thing to know about the horrors of racism, it's an entirely different thing to actually watch it.
From the beginning, the episode was difficult to watch. The opening scene of white men marching with torches and chanting racist and anti-Semitic chants were a terrifying reminder of a time period I read about in high school but quite frankly, never thought I'd witness.
While there have been numerous demonstrations and protests across the U.S. this year, none compared to the Unite the Right rally. On the day of, members of the alt-right arrived with weapons and shields, visibly ready to unleash violence on anyone who might get in their way.
To see that level of hatred was appalling, yet also spellbinding. No matter how uncomfortable or difficult it was to watch, to look away wasn't an option. Everything that I saw was painfully raw and uncensored, offering a glimpse into a distorted mindset that I will likely never comprehend.
Heather Heyer, 32, was killed when a car plowed into a crowd of counter protestors at the Unite the Right rally.
Racism has always been alive and well. From the alt-right to white supremacism to the KKK—these racist ideologies are nothing new. What is new is the pride and empowerment felt by today's white nationalists. Gone are the days of "closet racism" and KKK members hidden behind white sheets. Today, supremacists wear "the most all-American clothes they can imagine," donning the same polo shirts and khakis you'd find at your local American Eagle store.
Arguably, it's a level of empowerment not seen since before the Civil Rights Movement.
Like many people, I believe President Trump is largely responsible for this sense of pride. His refusal to repudiate white nationalists' strong support during his presidential campaign, coupled with his inability to condemn their violent actions in Charlottesville, have only managed to validate their hateful ideologies. The impact of this gross negligence has been felt across the country: Since his election to office last November, hate crimes in America have increased significantly. According to one report, last year hate crimes in nine metropolitan areas increased by more than 20 per cent, in part the result of "inflamed passions" during the presidential election.
Christopher Cantwell is interviewed by Elle Reeve as part of Vice News' documentary. Cantwell was wanted by University of Virginia police on three felony charges related to the deadly rally. On August 24, he turned himself into authorities.
Like the many other questions borne from the Unite the Right rally, her questions have no easy answers. Sadly, there are only two things we know for certain: the divisions of race and the consequences of terror.

Connecting gallery (2001 - 2002)
The current Belgian design of ONDRAF/NIRAS for geological disposal of radioactive waste in poorly indurated clay is a system of vertical shafts that give access to a network of horizontal galleries for transport and disposal of the waste. The construction of the HADES underground research laboratory (URL) in the Boom Clay formation, which began in 1980, was important for testing and improving the excavation and construction techniques used and for demonstrating the technical feasibility of building an underground repository in poorly indurated clay.
The construction of the earlier parts of the HADES URL between 1980 and 1987 proceeded manually, achieving a relatively low progress rate of 2 metres a week. During the 1990s, it was decided to extend the HADES URL with an 80 m long gallery, connecting the existing HADES URL with a newly built second shaft. This second shaft was dug between 1997 and 1999. The Connecting gallery was constructed in 2001 and 2002, using an industrial tunnelling machine. This was the first time that industrial techniques would be used to excavate a gallery in the Boom Clay at such depth, making it an important milestone in the feasibility demonstration programme of ONDRAF/NIRAS.
The first objective was to demonstrate the feasibility – from both a technical and an economic point of view – of constructing galleries in poorly indurated clay, employing industrial techniques that could be used for the full-size repository.
The second objective was to gather as much data as possible regarding the characteristics of the host rock during and after excavation. To achieve this objective, a large instrumentation programme in and around the Connecting gallery was set up as part of the CLIPEX project in order to improve understanding of the hydro-mechanical response of the host rock during and after the construction of a horizontal gallery. As the clay host rock is the main barrier in the disposal system, this understanding is important to be able to assess the long-term safety of a repository.
The 85-metre Connecting gallery was constructed in less than 6 weeks with an industrial tunneling machine. Both excavation of the clay and installation of the gallery lining were carried out fully automatically. To limit the disturbance, an expanding lining type was used: the wedge-block system; for the same reason, the lining was installed as soon as possible after excavation and a minimal excavation rate (2m/day) was imposed. The successful construction demonstrated the technical and economic feasibility of constructing galleries at great depth in poorly indurated clay.
A systematic observation of the face and side-walls during the excavation provided a useful database of the shape and orientation of encountered fractures. This way, the origin of the fractures could be explained and substantiated. No evidence of naturally occurring fractures was found. On the other hand, qualitative evidence of self-sealing of the host rock was encountered.

WHAT HAS YOUR ANGEL HAD TO WATCH YOU DO? | BE BLESSTIFIED!
I've never heard that song before. Good stuff. Awesome message!
The Newsboys have a few hits aimed at a mostly Christian audience. I grew up with them, getting CD's at the Christian bookstore.
I did not know about your wife's vocal talents. Wow. Incredible voice! Thanks for sharing that. God is sooo faithful, love the end of this song.
Thanks so much! BE BLESSTIFIED!
Hi brother at least they aren't like us and say things like I gotta guard so and so they interesting goofy at times. At the same time I have heard we don't and don't have guardian angels and I know God protects us.
Thank you God bless you too my friend. I know you heard about the abortion headlines in the news it's heartbreaking and so wrong.
God is still watching and in control.
This is a very sobering post, Brother Al. But I am reminded of a time when my guardian angel apparently did something more than just stand by and watch what I was doing. I believe my angel intervened to save my life!
They called me a tomboy when I was a little girl, because I loved to climb trees. More than half a century later, my shins still have scars from all the times that the skin was scraped off by the rough bark of the Elm trees in our yard.
In those days, electrical poles were much smaller than they are now, and they often had metal spikes in their sides that the linemen used to climb up. The lowest spikes were too far above the ground for a child to reach.
But the empty lot next door to the house where I grew up, had a steep short hill that ran above a gravel road. The electrical poles ran along that road. And one of the poles was set into the hill in such a way that by standing on top of the hill, I could easily reach the lowest spike.
One day, when I was around six or seven years old, I decided to climb up on that bottom spike, climb all the way to the top spike, and grab hold of the electrical wires and swing from them, just like the monkey that I was.
It was too easy. In the blink of an eye, I was climbing up the pole. Up and up and up I climbed, until I was standing on the very top spike. The electrical wires were just a few inches above my head, an easy reach.
While clinging to the pole with my left hand, I started to reach for the wire with my right hand. But before I could fully extend my right arm — while my hand was still several inches away from the wire — something hit me, HARD, in the center of my chest.
I looked down at the front of my dress then, expecting to see a large bird sitting there, because what else could have flown into my chest when I was up in the air on the electrical pole? I could still feel it there, a small but definite weight, pressing heavily into my skin. But as I looked at my chest, I was puzzled to see that nothing was there. Where I could feel something solid and hard pressing into me, all I saw was empty air.
And then, as I stared at my chest, this invisible, heavy something pushed me straight down the utility pole. It did not let go of me, until I was sitting on the ground.
I was wearing a dress at the time, because my dad had decided that pants on girls was sinful. So while I was being pushed down the pole, my dress had flown up, and my belly was ground full of splinters as my bare skin skidded down the wooden pole. Oh wow, those splinters HURT! Lesson learned — I would never climb an electrical pole again!
What could it have been but my guardian angel?
Wow! Thanks for sharing! Yes, I believe it was your angel.
I am so grateful. And so humbled. Because there is nothing special about me, except the fact that I am a child of God.
This is a great reminder to me that when we belong to Christ, nothing can kill us until He is ready to take us home! I needed this reminder, because three days ago, on Tuesday morning, my doctor called and told me that the routine mammogram I had last week revealed some areas of high density. So later this morning, I am going back to the radiology department at the hospital here in town for more tests.
I was a nervous wreck all day Tuesday after getting that phone call. I barely slept Tuesday night. But on Wednesday, after I read your post and remembered what my angel did for me almost sixty years ago — plus I read another Christian blogger's encouraging post on Wednesday, which reminded me of two other times when the Lord miraculously delivered me, and my children, from harm — then all my fears went away. When it's time for me to go to heaven, I am ready to go. Until then, God will keep me safe here on earth.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. By His stripes I am healed and set free from the law of sin and death.
Praise Jesus! God's got me!
The lump was there on the mammogram last week, there on the compression test, and there at the beginning of the ultrasound this morning. Then it completely disappeared during the ultrasound! The radiologist wants me to have the tests done again in 6 months to be sure. But wow wow wow, praise the Lord! Thank you for your prayer!
Wow is right! Your healing is complete in the Name of Jesus!

Report: Pakistan Can Generate $90 Million Annually if It Introduces a 15% Tax on Crypto Transactions
May 20, 2022 admin Aatiqa Lateef, Crypto regulation, Crypto tax, Cryptocurrency Exchange, cryptocurrency transactions, Emerging Markets, pakistan crypto, Rain Financial Inc, Tax Revenues, Zeeshan Ahmed
Pakistan can generate tax revenues of at least $90 million each year if authorities impose a 15% tax on cryptocurrency transactions, an executive with a cryptocurrency exchange has said.
15% Crypto Tax
An executive with a Pakistani cryptocurrency exchange has said Islamabad can generate at least $90 million in tax revenues if authorities decide to levy a 15% tax on cryptocurrency transactions. The executive, Zeeshan Ahmed, the country general manager at Rain Financial Inc, claimed this would be possible if Pakistan adopts what one report calls "hard and fast regulations."
In comments published by The International News, Ahmed claimed that Pakistan's neighbor India and the United States are already getting billions of dollars in tax revenues. He said:
The US and India are collecting billions of dollars through a 30 percent tax on the profit earned from crypto trading. We can start with a 15 percent tax.
Role of Crypto in Pakistan's Economy
Ahmed's sentiments were echoed by his fellow executive, Aatiqa Lateef, the crypto exchange's director of public policy. Speaking at the same event where attendees discussed the role of crypto assets in an economy, Lateef suggested his company is playing its part in helping to change regulators' perception of cryptocurrencies.
"We are in constant touch with all regulators including SBP, PTA, FBR and others and will be ready to assist them," explained Lateef. The director added that the Pakistani government has since set up committees to discuss different regulation scenarios. The committees are also expected to recommend policy options available.
Lateef, in the meantime, concedes that it could take between 12 and 18 months before the Pakistan government makes its decision. One of the reasons for this could be regulators' lack of capacity or inability to police the crypto industry. However, with the assistance of cryptocurrency firms like Rain, Pakistan may overcome the challenges, Lateef said.

You will see a small white sign that says "sanctuary" as you pull into the parking lot. Don't be alarmed if you don't see many cars from the street (most of our folks park out of street view). Just drive down the lot and you will see a covered walkway with a red tin roof; this is the side door that is used on Sunday morning.
Walk up the ramp and you will be greeted by one of our church members. If you have children younger than kindergarten with you, they can help direct you toward the nursery.
There is no dress-code for worshiping God. However, most folks that come to church wear "business casual" if that helps you. But come as you are, whether that means a suit or athletic clothes. We do not believe that dressing up or dressing down is a concern for God, we will just be happy to see you on Sunday morning.
When we come together in worship, we expect to experience Christ's presence and the power of the Holy Spirit.
We follow an order of worship found in the bulletin during the 11:00 am service (an Usher will hand one to you as you walk in). This will help you follow along.
The 9:00 am service is informal with no printed order of worship, but consists of songs, prayer, and a sermon.
All backgrounds are welcome, Methodist and non-Methodist alike. Being a Christian is first and foremost, denominations are secondary.

Church program provides 'anchor for the soul': Asbury UMC's respite ministry offers fellowship for those with memory loss and their caregivers

Volunteers and attendees at Asbury's Anchor Respite ministry enjoy activities together. The group gathers every Tuesday and Thursday to provide fellowship and fun for those who suffer from memory loss while giving their caregivers a break.
On a Tuesday morning at Asbury United Methodist Church, a group of people is gathered around tables putting together puzzles, doing seek-a-word activities and enjoying each other's company.
Although the number of volunteers outnumber the participants, they all wear white laminated name tags to keep continuity as everyone there is doing the same thing.
The Anchor Community Respite Ministry began meeting Oct. 1 but had been months in the making. The purpose of the newly-formed ministry is to provide fellowship and stimulation to people who are living with memory loss due to dementia or stroke, while also giving their care partners a break.
Those care partners can also participate in a monthly support group to share ideas and concerns with other care partners, as well as learn more from memory loss professionals.
The name for the ministry came from the Bible verse Hebrews 6:19 that describes an "anchor for the soul," and this program is to be an anchor for caregivers and their loved ones everywhere, offering hope, support and stability.
Each friend's — as the participants are called — morning begins with a greeting by volunteers upon their arrival, then they enjoy coffee and social time, followed by a short devotional and the Pledge of Allegiance. The rest of their day is filled with physical fitness, brain fitness, activities and games, lunch, stretching, dancing, art and music.
Specific activities include parachute time, bingo, poker chip trivia, card games and balloon volleyball with balloons and pool noodles.
"We strive to do things that help them feel successful and feel like they have a purpose," said program Director Gina McIntyre, whose grandmother had Alzheimer's and gave her a heart for this ministry.
Just three weeks into the program, five friends come to the group on Tuesdays and seven on Thursdays. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. they enjoy a time of fellowship and fun, catered just to them.
While the majority of the friends are not Asbury members, most of the volunteers are. McIntyre said she has had no problem getting members to sign up to help with this ministry, which is open to the entire community. Volunteers are needed for several activities and are in two- and four-hour slots.
"Anyone who wants to volunteer, we'd love to have them," McIntyre said. "We want this to be an easy volunteer opportunity. We only do a two-week signup and don't want people to feel guilty if they can't come all the time."
McIntyre and several other Asbury members visited Canterbury Methodist and Montgomery First United Methodist, which both had similar programs, and then put together one that would work for Asbury.
To raise money before the program began, the church hosted a BBQ & Chili Cook-off on June 22 and have also received donations along with money from the church's mission and action team.
The cost of the program is $40 per day, but McIntyre said they do not want cost to be an issue, and they offer scholarship opportunities.
Each session in December will feature a holiday theme, including making gingerbread houses and felt ornaments and things they can give as gifts because most of them can't shop anymore. They will also make boxes to send soldiers at Christmas and make Operation Christmas Child boxes.
"We want them to realize they still have a purpose and are able to give back to the community," McIntyre said.
Feedback from care partners so far has been overwhelmingly positive. One husband described this program as "a gift from God that came out of nowhere." A wife said when her husband comes home from the group, he is so happy for hours and says how much the people there love him.
McIntyre said they may not remember what they did during the group, but they will remember how they felt.
Future plans are to add chapel twice a month, when one of the Asbury pastors will come speak followed by communion.
Lois Tipton's mother had Alzheimer's, and she also cared for her husband who suffered from the disease. She now volunteers with the Anchor Ministry and said she feels like it helps her as much as it helps the friends.
"When my mother had it, we didn't know a lot about it or what symptoms to look for," she said. "When I realized my husband couldn't get back into our world, I didn't know of any places to take him. These people still have needs and they need a break (from their caregivers), too."
McIntyre said the most eye-opening thing for her is the friendships she has made with the friends and their families describing it as an instant connection.
"Someone told me to get ready for my life to change, and it truly has," McIntyre said. "I have felt the presence of God here like never before. It really is life changing."

I'm fascinated by this recent story. Christian Ward, a 32-year old poet from London with whom I've communicated occasionally on social networking, has been found to have plagiarised a poem by Helen Mort (whom I also know – in the real world). Christian's poem, 'The Deer', won a local poetry competition in Devon, where the story was broken on 5th January. Save a few words, it's identical to Helen's poem of the same title.
Today a statement, by way of apology, has appeared from Ward. It's not exactly unequivocal though, and that's what interests me.
I was working on a poem about my childhood experiences in Exmoor and was careless. I used Helen Mort's poem as a model for my own but rushed and ended up submitting a draft that wasn't entirely my own work.
I had no intention of deliberately plagiarising her work. That is the truth.
It's that phrase 'I used Helen Mort's poem as a model for my own' which I find so intriguing. He seems to think that's a fair explanation, that this mode of working is acceptable. But for me, this raises two questions. Firstly, what does using a poem as a model really mean in practice? Do you start with a source text and then start make edits to it? Do you just copy the theme, or the movement of ideas, or the formal techniques? Secondly, at what point in this process does the text become your own?
Perhaps we'll never know with this work, because Ward claims he 'rushed and ended up submitting a draft'. Is there another draft, where we might discover how he has transformed Helen's text into something original of his own? I'd be fascinated to read it!
The wider debate that this minor scandal might provoke is where artistic inspiration and/or appropriation becomes plagiarism. Which in turn asks us to consider what can and cannot be owned by an individual author or creative artist.
David Shields, in his provocative book Reality Hunger: A Manifesto, argues for a mash-up culture where everything is remixed, appropriated, open source. This is a somewhat radical position, but also one which has its roots in the Dadaist practice of collage.
Only recently, I published an anthology of poems that included a collage piece by Jon Stone. Jon had collaged reviews by the sci-fi critic David Langford, which caused some embarassment when David came to review the book for The Telegraph. In this instance, the problem – in my opinion (I have no idea about the legal status) – was not one of plagiarism, because the collage process had created a text that was utterly different in its appearance and effects, but of etiquette: Jon had simply forgotten to credit his source.
So perhaps we might say there is: deliberate plagiarism, accidental plagiarism (e.g. Ward, if we believe him – he has also confessed to plagiarising a Tim Dooley poem), deliberate appropriation (e.g. Stone), and finally accidental appropriation.
However we define it, I can't help feel that Christian Ward's misdemeanour is a symptom of a wider problem in British poetry: the dominance of creative writing courses, competitions, workshops, and their cumulative dissemination of a derivative and usually conservative poetic. Editors like me often complain of reading lots of poems that sound the same, that share a similar form, tone, turn of phrase, even subject matter. But isn't cliche just a collectively agreed definition of plagiarism? Ward's mistake wasn't sending the wrong draft of his poem – it was thinking that 'working from a model' was a process that would lead to anything worth reading in the first place.
I agree with you – the way this exercise appears to be used is very different, from what he has said, to responding to, or being inspired by, anothers work. (and I do teach CW). I have tried it as an exercise when I was feeling blocked but didn't find it of any use – it felt mechanical and far from creative. I have, a couple of times, been intrigued by a slippery line in another's poem which has led to a number of poems triggered from the original line in the sense that the line has made me think in a new way – but I doubt anyone could find any trace at all of the line that started it in the poems.
This issue isn't restricted to literature … I recently fell out – permanently, I fear – with a friend, another photographer (Jo), who had based a series of photographs on the work of the late Francesca Woodman. Woodman was a talented but troubled young photographer who produced a series of 'confessional' self-portraits before committing suicide in New York in the late '80s; as a result, her inventive and self-lacerating images have acquired the patina that only an early death can confer. As part of a degree course, my friend Jo did a series of naked self-portraits which 'referenced' Woodman; she went on to sell said images in a commercial gallery with no reference to Woodman at all. I discovered Jo's debt to Woodman many months after her show; after I had been to Jo's exhibition and congratulated her for the best work she had ever done. (She sold prints at £400 a go, her show was a modest success.) Later, courtesy of someone's Facebook album, I discovered the original and superior Woodman image on which Jo had based her self-portrait. I took this up with Jo and an argument ensued, which ended up with Jo justifying her failure to cite Woodman in her exhibition by claiming that most of the new work going through the (prestigious) photo gallery where she works is derivative, so why pick on her?
Ultimately, beyond all notions of collage technique or referential post-modernism and across all disciplines, you find a sea of mediocre artists who want to be 'be' someone and can't accept why they aren't. Christian Williams' gloss on his actions is an unwitting example of exactly this mindset: a bankrupt attempt to defend the indefensible. There is a world of difference between, say, Stravinsky's re-composition of Pergolesi, and some sweaty fantasist flattening out a volume of contemporary poetry beside his laptop. We should be robust about this.
interesting, david. though I can't help but feel a little sympathy for Jo. it's certainly not plagiarism, is it – just unacknowledged inspiration?
also, not sure why "sweaty"?
I think the latter, which would suggest, wouldn't it, that we do cynically believe, on some level, that judges are attracted to certain types and models of poem more than others, and that suspicion in turn will cause more people to write more poems that tend to adhere to this narrow range. Let's be frank – poems dealing with the memories of loved ones are a regular feature in prize lists. And if the poet came up straight away and said, "Thanks for the prize money, guv. Funny thing: my [loved one who is subject of poem] is alive and well, and this is a work of pure imagination" – we can well imagine the judges being miffed, feeling deceived even.
Which to me suggests that part of the problem (well, I think this is part of the problem anyway and all this is just extra evidence) is that the personality of the poet as a human being is weighed too heavily in judgements. This is why it's so hard for outlier styles of poetry to enter the mainstream, why the mainstream, against all noble effort, remains so steadfastly middle class – the more obscured the person behind the poem is, the harder they are to relate to perhaps, the less chance a poem has of being looked upon kindly, except when it possesses some other extraordinary feature.
On another note, my blunder regarding not crediting David Langford was probably a good thing to happen to me. I've been doing quite a lot of work based on transforming other people's material – not just collages, but 'versions' and translations, replies etc. I usually take care to credit, and my general feeling is always that I want people to know exactly what I've done – even have access to the original text, if possible – because seeing how the transformation works is part of the intended pleasure. A good obvious example would be the sonnet I made out of bits of Tom Jones lyrics – it's simply a much better listening/reading experience, I would suggest, for the audience knowing where the lines have come from.
BUT it is easy to get complacent. One thing I find is that these collage/rearrangements/translations are often so much work and involve so many of my original ideas going into them that it's very easy to fully mistake the final piece for something wholly your own. You certainly feel there is much of you and your personality in it. So it's good to get a sharp-but-painless reminder that you must be oh-so-careful in acknowledging your sources when doing this kind of work.
Oh gosh, interesting developments – well the whole issue is perplexing. Tom, you're so right about the murk. I like your post.
I know a poet from a war-torn region who was taken up by a v senior figure in UK poetry, who wanted to translate his poems. According to him, he even went to this poet's home a few times to help with the translations. Once settled in North America, and trying to rebuild his life and career in a new language, he wanted to use these translations of his poems, but found that the senior UK poet had published them as 'versions', and thus owns all copyright to them, content and all.
But then, I've also made poems out of other people's words; I've used emails, and while I got in no trouble for it it's true I didn't ask the person (an old friend) who sent them.
Jon, you're really right about the work of a collage. My email poems came out sounding as if word for word from the originals, but I had changed them hugely – into blank verse, into stories, into a consistent voice, into a cohesive thing, into a sort of aspect of my own memoir. This whole area of collage and found poetry and Informationism etc does change the nature of the playing field, and were all still learning what goes and what doesn't. Look at Andrew Motion's bother the other year.
But this particular issue impacts not at all on the Christian Ward story – which is more about the general unambitious and lazy nature of much of what gets produced, published, treated as 'good enough'. It's possible even he is being genuine (though if he was trying to use a 'personal poem' as the basis for his own 'personal poem', you'd think he'd spot that it wasn't *his* experience [yet?] in the poem), but in that case it speaks of a personal bar placed worryingly low.
The idea of the 'version' is a bit pernicious in practice. I'm not even really happy reading a translation unless I have at least the original and preferably a second translation in front of me. With a 'version', you're going: well what IS it? Which bit is yours? What did you change and why? All the important questions raised by the work itself remain unanswered.
But in support of the modelling idea, here's an example: Donaghy's 'The Drop', which is structurally modelled on 'The Coming of the Magi'. THAT'S how to do it. It was such a completely new poem that he didn't even have to think about crediting Eliot. I only discovered the link when he discussed it in Magma magazine.
Re David's 'sweaty' I think he's just engaging in some Expressionist characterisation. & from what I heard at the time, 'Jo's' photos were pretty much straight copies.
And now I feel I've said too much, and would like to emphasise that I love everyone.
I don't buy his apology. Even if it were true, it would be evidence of plagiarism, just a more subtle kind. And I don't believe him. The fact that he only changed the words that were absolutely necessary to make it all Exmoorish makes it unlikely that this was an early draft.
The prize should go to Helen Mort – she didn't write about Exmoor but after this fiaso she deserves it!
People rip off the work of others for all kinds of reasons – and in the worlds of TV and advertising, where I have occasionally worked, it is carried out on an industrial scale (and there can be serious financial and career implications for artists who are plagiarised at that level; Bridget Riley suffered greatly from this in the 1960s). What Christian Ward and my photographer friend Jo both have in common is their appropriation of another's very personal work in order to seem more accomplished and insightful as artists. We aren't talking about the formal concerns of artistic discourse or any kind of 'homage' as neither Chris or Jo acknowledged their sources – it's just attention-seeking. They do it because they want to appear interesting as people.
Anyone with a pencil can be a poet, anyone with a phone in their camera can be a photographer; but not everyone can write a good poem or make a decent photo. Poetry and photography share a private, 'confessional' mode; but what if you have nothing to confess except your own poverty of imagination?

There is always a need for speed in this fast paced motion design world. It's definitely something we can all agree on. You can always get more money, but you can't get more time. That's the truth. Every day I look for ways to speed up my workflow, and there are so many ways to save time. I highly recommend checking out my tips and tricks tutorials at ukramedia.com or by clicking on this link.

Sometimes we all find ourselves in a position where we need to spend more cash than we actually have. Regardless of how cautious you are with your finances, there's always the chance that a disaster could suddenly happen which forces you to consider other lines of credit that might be available to you to pay for unexpected costs.
Unfortunately, for people who have had a difficult past, it's not always easy to get your hands on the credit that you need. Building societies and banks are becoming more choosy about who they want to lend to, because they want to make sure that bad debts don't have a negative impact on their bottom line. But what does having a poor credit history actually mean, and what information can banks and building societies get by looking at your credit file?
Lenders, no matter where you choose to go for your loan, will take a number of crucial factors into account when they are considering whether to give you the money you need or not. Although there are many different things that can impact your chances of getting finance, your credit file is by far one of the most important. There are three credit reference agencies that are currently used in the UK, including Experian, Equifax, and CallCredit, and each of these will carry their own version of your file. The report on your file will contain information about your financial history, including data on your loans, credit cards, and mortgage.
Whenever you apply for finance or a loan, the building society or bank that you want to work with will look at your credit report, and use the information they find alongside other current information (for instance, where you work), to give you a credit score. Contrastingly to what most people assume, you don't have a single credit score, and each lender has a different way of calculating your overall score for any given time. This is why it is possible for some people to be successful in applying for a loan with one bank, but unsuccessful with another.
Unfortunately for people who struggle to manage their money carefully, it's all too easy to do damage to your credit score. If you always manage your debts well, then you shouldn't have any problems when it comes to obtaining credit. However, if you have ever made a payment late on a loan, or missed a payment completely, this will show up on your credit report and may make it more difficult to access financial help. Basically, a credit score is an evaluation of how much of a risk you are to credit companies and banks. It determines whether or not you're likely to make payments on time.
You could end up with a bad credit score if you ever encounter serious financial problems too. For instance, your credit score is affected by things like county court judgements and bankruptcy.
Although it's very easy to damage your credit score, it's not necessarily as easy to repair it. However, there are a number of ways that you can improve your credit score. For instance, you should make sure that you are registered in the electoral roll, and do your best to avoid making too many applications for credit as lenders often avoid borrowers that have been turned away by other companies. You should also make sure that your credit file is updated and accurate.
Often, it's a good idea to show that you know how to carefully control your finances by managing your debts with caution., A personal loan for someone with bad credit can sometimes help in this case so long as payments are made according to the schedule that has been laid out for you by the company that is giving you the money. As long as any loans that you take out are treat with care, and you ensure that you give monthly amounts on time, you should find that lenders begin to believe that you have learned from your past mistakes and therefore can be trusted with additionally credit again.

Q: How to get an Serverside Value to the phonegap parameters Has anyone any idea how to get a documentUNID into the function of the file transfer from phonegap?
I've tryed some solutions but nothing seems to work:
First I tried:
function uploadPhoto(imageURI) {

  var options = new FileUploadOptions();
  options.fileKey="file";
  options.fileName=imageURI.substr(imageURI.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
  options.mimeType="image/jpeg";

  var params = new Object();
  params.value1 = "test";
  params.id = XSP.getElementById("#{id:inputText1}").value

  options.params = params;

  var ft = new FileTransfer();

  ft.upload(imageURI, "serverURL", win, fail, options);
}

This results in 'function could not be found'.
My second ides was to compute the documentID by using Document1.getDocument.getUniversalID()
This also results in 'function could not be found'.
has annyone any idea how to get a Serverside value to the paramters of this phonegap function?

A: You would need to add brackets to the getDocument portion also so that it reads Document1.getDocument().getUniversalID(). This might resolve the issue you had.

First case of omicron variant of coronavirus detected in Louisiana
BY KAYLA GAGNET, The New Orleans Advocate
NEW ORLEANS - The first probable case of the omicron variant of the coronavirus has been detected in Louisiana, the state Health Department said Friday night.
The case involves someone from the New Orleans area who had recently traveled within the United States. The Health Department did not say whether the person had been vaccinated.
"We now know omicron is here in Louisiana," health officer Dr. Joe Kanter said. "We have been expecting and preparing for this moment. To all Louisianans, the single best action you can take to protect yourselves and your families is to get yourself and loved ones vaccinated and boosted if eligible."
The news came just hours after Gov. John Bel Edwards called a news conference - his first COVID-19 media briefing in weeks - to encourage the public to get vaccinated, and when eligible, to get a booster shot in preparation for the spread of omicron. He called it the "smartest, best decision" for yourself and your community.
Little is known about the omicron variant, which has now been detected in more than 30 countries and at least 9 U.S. states. Researchers have identified more than 50 mutations, primarily on the virus' spike proteins, which play an important role in how the virus infects its host. At the moment, however, there isn't sufficient data to determine whether the variant spreads more quickly or makes patients sicker than the original strain of the virus.
It's also unclear to what degree the variant will be resistant, if at all, to the vaccines and therapeutics currently available, Kanter said.

Rookie quarterback Josh Rosen Jersey talks with offensive coordinator Mike McCoy during minicamp this week.
The Cardinals are on vacation.
Once the final minicamp practice ended Thursday, veteran players and the coaches scattered for five weeks. The rookies remain for a couple of weeks for strength training and life skills meetings. But the team won't begin to regroup until July 22, when rookies and quarterbacks return, leading into training camp's report day on July 27.
But Bradford too displayed an arm – in both accuracy and strength – that impressed. He didn't get to do as much as the Cards stuck to the Bradford plan, but it's still hard to picture anyone but Bradford – assuming health – as opening day starter.
Veldheer's status is a question, although with the amount of injuries Authentic Mike Shannon Jersey the Cards have had on the offensive line, finding a way to keep a quality third tackle on the roster would make some sense.
Pugh too has had injuries. The Giants' No. 1 draft pick in 2013 has had more success at guard, and started all 63 games he played in. But Pugh has only played 16 games once, in his rookie season, and he missed eight games last season with back issues and finished the season on injured reserve.
We asked NFL Nation reporters to make their best trade offer on behalf of the teams they cover, and only from those teams that have both a need at safety and extra cap space for the 29-year-old. We came Ereck Flowers Jersey up with three teams that would have realistic trade interest in Thomas the Cowboys, Patriots and Chargers. The offers below are based on what each reporter believes their team's front office could http://www.giantsfootballofficialonline.com/YOUTH+ERECK+FLOWERS+JERSEY offer the Seahawks in a trade, plus what each organization could offer Thomas, a six-time Pro Bowler, in a potential extension.
