Worldwide, 35.6 million people have dementia, a group of cognitive disorders characterized by memory impairment, language difficulty and disturbance of executive function. This cluster of disorders, which includes Alzheimer's disease, causes many of its sufferers to rely on carers, who in turn may face depression and anxiety as a result. Now, a new study shows a coping strategies therapy can provide stress relief and emotional support for these carers - without extra costs.
In the US, over 15 million family caregivers provide support for patients with dementia.
The study - led by Prof. Gill Livingston from University College London in the UK - is published in The Lancet Psychiatry.
The researchers note that around two thirds of people with dementia live at home, with family members acting as caregivers. Though having a family carer significantly helps patients with dementia, around 40% of family carers develop clinical depression or anxiety, affecting care and resulting in the patients moving to a care home.
In the UK, there are around 670,000 of these caregivers, while in the US, there are over 15 million - a significant number of people in both countries.
Alzheimer's disease accounts for 50-70% of dementia cases, though other types of dementia include vascular dementia, mixed dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal dementia.
The sixth leading cause of death in the US, Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing memory, thinking and behavior problems that can affect work, hobbies and social life.
To understand how life can be improved for carers of those with dementia - thus improving care and avoiding the patients needing to move to a care home - Prof. Livingston and colleagues assigned 260 family carers who were free from depression to an eight-session program or to usual care consisting of medical, psychological and social services for the patient with dementia.
18% of children aged 8-18 provide unpaid care for someone.
The program used in the study is called the START (STrAtegies for RelaTives) program, and it was delivered by non-clinically trained psychology graduates working one on one with family carers at their home.
There, the psychology graduates worked with carers to identify difficulties and initiate coping strategies. For example, they helped with accessing emotional support and relaxation.
Meanwhile, the researchers made assessments of anxiety and depression using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and they also assessed cost-effectiveness for 2 years.
Results showed that carers in the START group had more than a 2-point improvement in their HADS total score, compared with the control group in both short-term (8 months) and long-term (24 months) assessments.
What is more, the START program was no more expensive than usual care, even showing the best value for money.
"Worldwide, there are an estimated 44 million people with dementia, and this figure is likely to double every 20 years. Too often, people forget the substantial effect dementia has on family members caring for relatives with dementia. Policy frameworks assume that families will remain the main providers of their (unpaid) support."
In a linked comment to the study, Prof. Sube Banerjee, of the University of Sussex in the UK, says the START program should be offered "to all family carers of people with dementia as part of the support with a timely diagnosis."
Prof. Livingston agrees, adding that this "new cost-neutral program is an effective way to support carers and improve their mental health and quality of life and should be made widely available."
Medical News Today recently reported on a study that identified a new neurological disorder linked to Alzheimer's.

Seeing the Church as a family must somehow accommodate the reality of family dysfunction too.
The Chinese New Year is a widely celebrated holiday here in Singapore, largely because the majority race of the population is of Chinese origin. The traditions that are observed have an unmistakable appreciation of life. This is easily observed both in the arrival of the Spring season (more so back in China where the winter thaw gives way to the blossoming of cherry blossoms) as well as in the gathering of family at reunion meals where there is an continual partaking of feasts and gastronomical delights. This is a time of making visits to friends and family, giving us the opportunity to meet kith and kin who we seldom see, reminding us of the largeness of our family tree, with its sometimes 'hidden' branches.
No one chooses the family one belongs to. Each family, without exception, will have its members who are very visible, very active and do much to 'hold it all together'. There will also be members who do not come for such gatherings unless there is a very special reason to make an appearance, like at weddings or special birthdays, or when there is a funeral. Some really understand the need for maintaining and contributing to familial bonds, whilst others could be so wrapped up in their own worlds and work that they think that taking part in all this 'tradition' is just making a fuss about nothing. Some members of the family do not fancy or think it necessary to forge a relationship that is really committed and regular. This is the reality of family life.
The Church has always taught that the body of believers needs to be seen as the Body of Christ. As such, it is a family of people who are linked in and by the blood of Christ that courses through the veins formed by baptism. Like a family of blood relations, we do not choose our fellow brothers and sisters in this body of Christ. We are given these through our baptism, and as much as it can give us a real sense of belonging and support and love, it can also often reveal the very same flaws and dysfunction that prevail in blood familial bonds.
I have come to see that the church as family has much in common with all that our earthly family experiences. In the church, we see clearly that there are different levels of participation and belonging. Indeed, there are those who see it as something that is of utmost importance, giving much of their time and energy selflessly. They understand in a very deep way that their belonging to this family gives them a privilege and along with the privilege comes a duty and a responsibility out of love. Like in an earthly family, these members do the often thankless task of arranging for meals, organizing gatherings, paying for the meals and do all that they can to keep the family together and uphold family ethos. Then there are those who appear to take the family for granted as well – coming late for family gatherings, making the slightest excuses to be absent from them, being present only in body but hardly in spirit, or even wishing that they were not part of the family for all sorts of reasons – in short, being participants of the family on their own terms.
In my coming to 16 years of being a priest of the Church of God, I can see so many similarities and it bemuses me. If I am unrealistic in my appreciation of the kinds of dysfunction that are present in earthly family ties, I would be similarly unrealistic of the dysfunctions that are present in the church that makes up the body of Christ. Not everyone gets it. Not everyone is passionate about God at the same time, and some may seem to be only in it for their own benefit and give nary a thought about those who have given their lives for it because of love.
But just as God sees our earthly broken family and loves it, I strongly believe that he also, in the same way, looks upon the broken body of Christ that makes up the church and loves it all the same.
I think we struggle with this very much, especially those of us who can readily identify with those family members who are consciously carrying more of the burden than others. I know parents can, from time to time, feel their love and dedication to their families taken for granted. They reveal this to me in counseling sessions. I often like to remind them that what they do has to stem from love, otherwise it will always become a job or a task, performed out of an obligation and not one that is rooted and coming out of love. When it is an action that has love as its rationale and foundation, there will be little room for bitterness and rancor to result.
Priests who are at the service of the people of God who form the family of God need to know this and need to serve from the love of God. It is constantly recharged and grown when we make prayer a non-negotiable as part of our vocation as priests. When we stop praying, it becomes easy for us to look at the church narrowly, become overtly critical and run the church as an organization with tasks to perform rather than love the church as a family that has members who are capable of loving in very limited ways, for various reasons.
Fr Ronald Rolheiser once said that the reasons why most people do not go to church do not also mortally sever our connections. To a certain degree, I am inclined to agree with him. A family member remains a family member no matter how wayward he lives his life. Indeed, you do not cease being a "practicing member" of the family just because you are not home very much. We who are in the ecclesial family, which is the church, need to be mindful of this.

I struggle with this a lot. The idea of family. Especially the idea that church is family because the church is so big and my family is quite small. But I love how to compare the dysfunction of our families to the dysfunction of church... I think about that a lot. I have to say that I am perhaps one of the dysfunctions in church.
Families are so precious and a true gift from God, though it is not always apparently so. My husband's family is far bigger than mine, and it was a little disorientating when I first stepped into their household during Chinese New Year. Yet, four years on, I have already started to love and treasure these reunions with them. Through being with them I learn what a family (a bigger family than mine) is all about. It's about everyone taking up their role, about men and women each playing a role and joyfully, about simply being in the same space as one another and treasuring that. Unlike my own family, my husband's family (or rather uncle's family) has been blessed with many children, and I deeply observe and experience it to be a tremendous blessing from God.
And as for dysfunction. It is also my experience that dysfunction in the family plays out quite similar to that in the church, especially in cases of divorce, or "uncommon partnerships". How can we be loving without outcasting one or the other. How do we stand our ground without being trampled over. It is our hearts that grow in such circumstance, to expand so as to hold more people in it, simply because they are family. Yet it is not always the heart that expands, but also the space in-between.
I don't know what it is I am trying to say. As I said, I struggle with this a lot. But surely God sees my struggle. There is no "unrealistic" expectations from Him; only full knowledge. I rest in that. And yes, I do continue to strive, I learnt, best unencumbered by perceived expectations of others. We do what we can.

Dear Fr. Luke,
I agree with the statement "Fr Ronald Rolheiser once said that the reasons why most people do not go to church do not also mortally sever our connections."
Recently, I had an uncle who was a baptised Catholic was at the last stage of his life. He stopped going to Church when he was in his 20s and married a non-Catholic. All his children were not Catholic.
At his dying bed, he asked his son to contact me and asked me to come and see him. When I saw him, he was lying in the hospital bed and could barely talk.
I told him, that he was baptise as a Catholic when he was born and I asked him would he like to have a priest to come and anoint him. He agreed and I manage to get a priest to come and anoint him.
After his anointment, he broke down and wept like a baby. I was very surprised and also couldn't hold back my tears.
He had a Catholic funeral.

"A family member remains a family member no matter how wayward he lives his life....."
This brings to mind what we used to call the black sheep in the family fold and I believe every family has at least one. Looking back - it is this black sheep who by his incorrigible behaviour, provides the unsavoury family legends/stories of his innumerable escapades - that draws together and bonds the rest of the "law-abiding" members of the clan....even if it is just to come together to berate and bewail the black one's un-wholesome behaviour at every annual meeting of the clan at Re-union Dinner. Yet, amazingly, we can say that the Lord has use for the likes of him who acts as the catalyst to unite the others.
I was thinking of a relative of mine who had the gift of the gab and was an incorrigible liar but he did it in such a charming way that my mum who was a soft-hearted person would never turn him away without first donating him a small portion of her marketing money - to the dismay and exasperation of my father. Somehow, I felt that his itinerant way was a camouflage for his broken heart when his teenage-spouse eloped with the teochew opera troupe that visited the village. At his death, he was missed by all his siblings - for I remembered that no eyes were dry.
Similarly, in church we do have some colourful characters as well who don't toe the line at what we tend to see as the 'norm'. They can be exasperating and difficult to put up with, especially in ministry work but some wise guys have termed them as the "saint-makers" and that do help...sometimes!
Reflecting on this, I believe that one has to start with oneself – if one makes a conscious effort to re-orientate one's first unfavourable impression of the other - it would go a long way to create "room enough for the other to grow" (in his own way) - and not as usually the case, one is only willing to give the other "enough room to grow." I believe that this has to be Jesus' secret (to give everyone room enough to grow) – that's why he is able to accept and love vastly and deeply everyone - saints and sinners alike, dysfunctional too, naturally!

As of 2022, Central America is divided into seven nations: Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.
The modern history of these countries is based on the colonial empires of Spain and Great Britain. Panama was part of the Spanish Viceroyalty of New Granada, which also included Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela. By the time the USA planned the building of a canal on the Isthmus of Panama, that region seceded from Colombia and became independent in 1903. Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras and El Salvador were part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, centered around Mexico. They seceded from Mexico shortly after its independence and were united under the Federation of Central America from 1823 to 1838. They later split into five independent countries.
Meanwhile, the British, who controlled many of the Caribbean Islands, established trade posts on the Central American shores of the Caribbean Sea. These sparsely populated areas located between the Mexican border and southern Nicaragua, while nominally under Spanish control, became British protectorates. Honduras and Nicaragua reestablished sovereignty on their Caribbean shores during the 20th Century, but the northernmost region, while claimed by Guatemala, became the independent nation of Belize in 1981. Guatemala contests this to this day.

Merthyr Forge and Foundry Co
of Merthyr Tydfil
See Joseph Parsons Biddle
1876 'IRON CASTING AT MERTHYR. On Tuesday afternoon a party of ladies and gentlemen were invited to visit the foundry of it Mr J. P. Biddle, Merthyr, for the purpose of seeing a large casting made, being the last of eight segments forming the cap of a chimney stack. Some three weeks ago Mr. Biddle received an order to make an ornamental cap for the large chimney at Harris's Navigation Colliery. The sizes were given as follow:- Height, 8 feet in the perpendieular, diameter at the top and base l2ft. 2in., with a bulge in the middle extending the width at that part to l4ft. 6in. The whole weight of this mass of iron was to be about five tons, this being considered necessary for the chimney stack, which is 36 ft. diameter at the bottom, and extends l80ft. in height, and is one of the largest in South Wales. A number of difficulties lay in the way of fulfilling the contract. In the first place, the segments, eight in number, as before stated, had to be made comparatively thin for the size, and the shape thereof having a considerable bulge in the middle, besides the circular bend, made casting difficult. However, Mr. Biddle set to work in earnest, and had patterns and boxes made as quickly as possible. The first attempt to cast a segment, of course, proved a failure, but nothing daunted he tried again, and at last proved successful. Of course, from that moment the turning out of the other seven pieces was as simple as possible, and the last was done on Tuesday.
A little after four o'clock a cupola was tappped, and a rush of liquid metal came into the ladle, which was calculated to bold a ton. When this was filled, and the scum taken off, four stalwart men worked away at the crane, and the liquid iron was gradually swung round, but it came over the box-like mould, which was pierced with seven holes. Amid a flutter of excitement the first drops fell, and went out of sight, and all went well, accompanied with the usual startling bang from the escaping air. The process, which was highly successful in every sense, was witnessed by Dr. Davies, Mr. Thomas (ironmonger), Mr. Snelling, Mr. J. W. Gunn, Mr. H. W. Southey, and one or two ladies, and this concluded one of the largest contracts of iron- founding undertaken in Merthyr.
Mr. Biddle's works, although not very large in extent, are singularly complete, comprising every departent necessary for a smith and moulder. The extraordinary short space of time in which he did the work above-mentioned, will be sufficient proof of this, and it is satisfactory to be able to state that the company's inspector visited the work on Monday and expressed his approval of the same. There are 36 hands employed at this concern; the melting cupola is of the ordinary make used by founders, it being 2-feet diameter, and able to reduce 30 cwt. of iron at one blast. The engine which drives the fan also supplies the rest of the shop with power, and is of 2-horse capacity; there are no less than 10 forges, and all seemed hard at work on Tuesday last, thus proving that, although times are bad, iron working and founding at any rate at Mr. Biddle's is not lacking. Altogether the piece of work just referred to is considered a grand proof of what can be done in Merthyr ... apart from the large works of course ... and the proprietor of the establishment is justly proud of the way in which he has been able to fulfil the contract.'[1]

It has been nearly a year since I posted my favorite egg salad sandwich recipe. As some of you might remember, I have strong feelings about this type of sandwich. To this day I rarely (if ever) eat one unless I make it myself. That being said, I've become quite fond of my egg salad creations, and I'd like to share a version with you that is a bit more flashy and interesting than the one we did last time. It uses plain yogurt in place of mayo and incorporates curry powder, chopped apples, toasted pecans, and minced chives. Sometimes I eat it on toasted, garlic-rubbed bread, and sometimes I eat it wrapped in a big leaf of lettuce. Color-flecked, delicious and satisfying.
Use any type of onion you like here, I've done this version of egg salad using yellow, white, and in this version I had a tiny red one on hand, so I grabbed for that.
First off, you need to boil the eggs properly (the key to good egg salad!). Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by a 1/2-inch or so. Bring to a gentle boil. Now turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for exactly seven minutes. Have a big bowl of ice water ready and when the eggs are done cooking and place them in the ice bath for three minutes or so - long enough to stop the cooking.
While the eggs are boiling and cooling, combine the yogurt, curry powder and salt in a tiny bowl. Set aside.
Crack and peel each egg, and place in a medium mixing bowl. Add the curried yogurt, onions, apple, pecans, and chives. Now mash with a fork. Don't overdo it, you want the egg mixture to have some texture. If you need to add a bit more plain yogurt to moisten up the mixture a bit, go for it a bit at a time. taste and add more salt if needed. Enjoy as-is, or served wrapped in lettuce or between two slices of good, toasted bread.
The prettiest, tastiest, frittata recipe. Made with potatoes, onions, and eggs drizzled with a cilantro chile sauce.
The egg salad sandwich recipe I turn to multiple times a week. Light on the mayo, with good quality eggs, chopped celery, and a sprinkling of chives on thinly sliced whole grain bread.

BibleForums Christian Message Board > Christ Life > Bible Chat > Why was "Oneness" expressed in the OT?
View Full Version : Why was "Oneness" expressed in the OT?
Years ago I asked a minister and didn't get a satisfying answer and hope you all could help, "If our L**d knew that He would eventually send us Jesus, and that Jesus would be His son, why did He (The L**d) express SOOOO strongly that He was ONE? Wouldn't He have been concerned that that alone would make His children question Jesus' divinity?"
I wonder why our L**d did not skirt the issue of "oneness" and allow an implication that His son would be along in the future.
I have been a Christian ALL of my life and have relied on Jesus all these years and love Him dearly. I absolutely hate it when any question about Him rises to the the top of my mind!!!! Yet, as a growing Christian I guess it is natural to have to come to terms with my own beliefs and not go blindly along with what I have been told. I believe WITH ALL MY HEART that Jesus is the L**d's son and that I am saved only through Jesus' sacrifice for me.
I just wish that the Bible did not leave ANY room for doubt on this issue, as IT IS a salvation issue!!
I look at the NT books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John...at their references to OT prophecies about Jesus and they are not concrete to me. Oh, that I wish they were!!!!
Folks, I need help. I find myself suddenly in the shoes of a 1st century Jew that needs Paul to explain Jesus. I have no clue how I got here!!!!
Anyone want to take the role of Paul and show me the light...that Jews looked for a Messiah...that our L**d is His father...that all along the L**D planned for our salvation through Him...that the prophets DEFINITELY spoke of Jesus...that the L**D's Oneness included Jesus?
The L**D has been kind and generous to me ...I am frightened that I have disappointed him with any doubts on my part..and Jesus, the One that sacrificed His very life for me...He must be disappointed!!!
When God says, "Hear oh Israel, the Lord your God, the Lord is One", the word for "one" is "echad."
The more usual word for "one" is "yachid", which is the word you would use for "one son," "one hat", "one boat," etc.
The word "echad" is used to describe plurality in unity, as in "one" bunch of grapes, "one" pair of shoes, "one" married couple, "one" God.
A man and wife become "echad" flesh. The grapes carried back by the spies is "echad" because they are in a bunch. And God is quite definitely "echad", which means that even the very earliest hearers of this word understood that the "one" God they served was not many Gods, not "yachid" God, but plurality in unity.
The trinity expounds and expands on this, and in no way contradicts the unity of Jahve, as described in the Tannukh.
"Hear oh Israel, the Lord (Elohim - plural) your God (Jehovah - singular), the Lord (Elohim - plural) is One"
Yes, ma'am...that does help tremendously.
Your explanation fits along with what I have been trying to tell myself.
Bless you for your assistance!
Yes. That does help. I remember, in the scene from "The Passion" that that particular verse really hits home.
To me, Jesus always made perfect sense. Then suddenly, from out of nowhere..doubt crept in! Oh, how I hated it!
But, in a sense, finding Jesus again...through actively seeking Him out by reading, thinking, speaking with all of you...will be wonderful...because I will have accepted Him of my own will and not because that was how I was raised. In the end, my loyalty to Him will take on a greater significance.
Absolutely! Building your relationship with Him will allow you to see facets and faces of Him you have never seen before. He will become Great God, Mighty Counsellor, Prince of Peace, The Alpha and The Omega and so very much more.
Be blessed in your journey of discovery!
Since Jews never try to pronounce the Tetragrammaton (YHVH), the name "Adonai" is substituted.
The name "El" appears as "Eloheinu," which translates as "our God."
A transliteration would be :"Sh'ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad"
Daughter is right in what she says about the word "echad"--this is key.
I always find it amusing that this (foundational) prayer mentions God three times--the Trinity hidden in the concept of Oneness.
Thanks for the correction and the exposition, Sig. I've learned something!
Consider, too, that when Jesus quoted the Shema in Mark, He was not excluding Himself. He understood and expected the Jewish man He spoke to to understand this.
Mark 12:29-31 9 Jesus answered, "The foremost is, 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord; 30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' 31 "The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
Jesus is throughout the Tanach and is thought to be the one who presented Himself in visible form anytime God presented Himself in the appearance of a man.
I was taught that also...and always felt a particular comfort in that. I loved the thought of Jesus being involved with us in all the time prior to His earthly birth. I still do.
To all of you offering your help, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. And, as I said before, re-discovering Jesus from a very personal standpoint makes my acceptance of Him as my personal savior even more satisfying.
Your efforts on my behalf are certain to be rewarded!

INS EXTENDS DEADLINE FOR SALVADORANS
TESSIE BORDENSUN-SENTINEL
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has extended by four months the deadline for Salvadorans to apply for work authorization papers while their asylum cases are being heard.
The program that for years allowed Salvadorans to work in the United States while their political asylum cases are heard is ending because a 1992 peace agreement ended El Salvador's 12-year civil war.
Until now, Salvadorans had until Sept. 30 to apply for work papers, a process that usually begins with an application for political asylum. The INS is extending that deadline to Jan. 31, said Dan Kane, a spokesman for INS.
That date coincides with another deadline by which Salvadorans need to apply for benefits under the settlement of a lawsuit filed on behalf of Salvadorans and Guatemalans five years ago.
The settlement gives them an opportunity to apply for asylum under relaxed rules.
"The INS wanted to insure ample time for all of those covered under the program to apply for work authorization papers," Kane said.

Wh1c 60mm upgrade with 64mm turbine shaft.
Alright gents I'll get right down to it. Plan is rebuild a spare h1c with a 60mm comp wheel and install on my 92 which has a stock wh1c. My question is I've been thinking about upgrading the turbine shaft to the hx40 64x76. Would this shaft be laggy with a 12cm housing? I know a few guys with 57/65 chargers and love em. So I thought this would be similar only with more air being introduced. My mods are in the sig. Future plans are 191s, 5x14s and bump timing to 18-20.
1992 W250 EC, 5 speed, 3.54s, 175hp p-pump, timed @ 16.5, #100 fuel plate, 4k GSK, 5x14, .024 DV, head studs, 60lb VS, 4" exhaust, BHAF, cooler tubz.
Re: Wh1c 60mm upgrade with 64mm turbine shaft.
Ya your right, I guess tuning is the biggest factor on how the turbo will react. I guess which ever upgrade I do to the turbo will be better than it was.
*update* It's time to starting my wh1c hybrid. I pulled my stock wh1c off my truck, got it split and just my luck found 5 cracks on the inside of turbine housing. so I'm looking for a new housing. Question is would I not be better off to go to a larger cm housing? Say 14cm?. Is the 12cm going to choke to much on the top end? The little bit of research I did says it will. I'm leaning towards a non-gated 14, but what do you guys think? I do tow a little bit with this truck but it's mostly just a toy.
If you port the gate on a 12 it doesn't feel like it chokes to me (plus the pressure ratios I'm getting indicate that when my gate opens it bypasses slightly too much energy for the amount of fuel I have). I ported mine out to a little over 1 inch on the puck side, and the inside almost goes right to either side of the volute. Unfortunately mine is cracked as well, but I don't really have any other choice but to run it until I can afford to swap to an s362sxe, and 472sxe which will be almost 3 grand U.S.
So I got my charger built and it clears up 80% of the smoke which is great but my problem is at 35+ psi it sounds like to me like it's surging. It sounds similar wastegate flutter like when your off the throttle but only under load. It's the worse when I floor it and when it gets over 35 psi. I have a spring wastegate which I adjusted so it only goes to 30-35psi but what can I do to fix this? Thanks.
What did you end up building? Does it do it at all rpms or just low-midrange?
'90 D250 R/C,727,IC,6x.009's,1/8" bump,fuel psi,straight pipe w/5" stack.
'90 W250 R/C,47rh,K@N,HX35,1/8" bump,2nd gen IC,boost,egt,trans temp.3.07's.

Bring back the Bank of Canada, PRE- 1974.
I started with the stock wh1c, machined the comp side for a 60x86 he351 wheel and then I used the hx40 64x76 turbine shaft in a 12cm housing. Tuned it a little more this weekend and went for a 2hr test drive on the highway and I really like. Low egts, builds quick boost at high and low speeds, cleans up a lot of smoke. But it stills does the flutter. It only does when it's building boost. You can start to hear to at 25 then it gets worse the higher it goes. It's not bad you just have to ease in to the throttle and try to keep boost to 20-25. It does have great power tho even at those low numbers. I was talking with a buddy and he suggested maybe the wastegate is opening and closing rapidly while building boost. My boost gauge needle does jump around a lot when it does it. I have a spring wastegate on it because the air operated one wouldn't work for me. I was gonna try stiffer springs to see if that helps my problem.
Why not just wire the gate closed? Drive accordingly.
I run the same thing with a 14cm housing and no gate.....all the time and routinely see 30/35# out of it. With some different sticks I've seen a max of 45+a little. All with no gate and a 5speed.
Yes if the spring wastegate doesn't work out then I'll be forced to wire it shut.


I listened to the NPR program also and was stunned that a professional would suggest that two weeks was a sufficient time for grieving, or mourning a loved one. I, too, have had several losses in my life and believe there should not be a time table on grieving. The "two week" bereavement exclusion appears ridiculous. But it's easier for the professionals to pass out a pill than to confront the raw emotions of the bereaved.
I just found your blog, and want to say I love your art.
And I agree with your two weeks is insane for a significant loss. Two weeks sounds fine if it's friend you barely knew. Two years sounds quite reasonable for an immediate family member, especially if they were taken before their time.
Of course the shrinks who write the DSM give you this ridiculous 2-week deadline. They would like you in their office after 2 weeks so they can start feeding you expensive (and toxic!) drugs, and collecting big bucks. They want people to be dependent on them!


The default implementation of JdbcInterceptor.invoke passes itself as the proxy argument to the next interceptor in the chain.  I'm thinking this should really pass the 'proxy' argument.
This means that interceptors cannot cast the 'proxy' argument to a java.sql.Connection.
This is  fixed in r1186681 and  will be in 7.0.23 onwards.


I first encountered Doro Wat when I saw it here: Nom Nom Paleo's Doro Wat (Spicy Ethiopian Chicken Stew). I've been to plenty of Ethiopian restaurants, but I guess the menu description never caught my eye. It's a blow-your-mind, spicy chicken dish with a rich gravy. I'm so glad that the first time I got to try this dish, it was at home. Oh how I despise having to eat family-style from one big platter at Ethiopian restaurants. I am way too greedy for that! Especially when it comes to this dish.
Michelle uses pre-mixed Berbere seasoning, but I don't have local access to that and find it easy enough to mix my own. There are countless recipes for berbere seasoning. The one below is adapted from The Congo Cookbook. No matter what you put in it, it has to have some cayenne pepper and fenugreek. If you want to tone down the spiciness of the dish, reduce the cayenne pepper and add more paprika.
The mixture below is incredibly hot. Make sure to put down two napkins: one to wipe your mouth and one to wipe the sweat from your brow! Traditionally, it is served with injera, a spongy kind of bread. I eat it alone and use the eggs as a kind of side dish.
Spicy Ethiopian chicken with rich gravy full of onions, ginger, butter and spices.
Put together the spices for your berbere seasoning: cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, ground cardamom, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground coriander, cumin, fenugreek leaves, ground nutmeg and turmeric.
Add butter and berbere seasoning mix to a large, nonstick skillet and toast on medium high heat for 3 minutes, until the mix is fragrant.
Add chicken and let it brown on both sides for 3 minutes, just to develop a nice crust.
Add them to the skillet and stir to make sure they are coated in the spice mix and butter.
Cover and cook for approximately 40 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
Remove cover, turn heat to high and cook for an additional 5 minutes, so the sauce reduces into a thick gravy.
Add them to the skillet and serve.
If you can't find it where you live and don't want to order it, the closest you could come to replicating the taste is to substitute more cumin to the spice mix.
Add butter and berbere seasoning mix to a large, nonstick skillet and toast on medium heat for 3 minutes, until the mix is fragrant. It smells almost like a dessert sauce because of the cinnamon and nutmeg.
I keep some of the eggs on a separate plate so that those who want more eggs with their serving (me!!!) can easily take more.
I like to use a spoon to mash the yolk into the gravy and make it even creamier and thicker and I eat the pieces of egg white in between bites of chicken to help cool down the fiery heat of the dish.
What a beautiful dish! I'm bookmarking this, Tekesha.
Wow, this looks so succulent Tekesha. I 've looked at this recipe online but your ingredients list seems to cater to my palette more. I have earmarked the recipe for this Saturday, cannot wait to try it!

You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that's where you will find success." — Thomas J. Watson
5. "In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure." – Bill Cosby

19. "One of the commonest mistakes and one of the costliest is thinking that success is due to some genius, some magic — something or other which we do not possess. Success is generally due to holding on, and failure to letting go. You decide to learn a language, study music, take a course of reading, train yourself physically. Will it be success or failure? It depends upon how much pluck and perseverance that word "decide" contains. The decision that nothing can overrule, the grip that nothing can detach will bring success. Remember the Chinese proverb, "With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes satin." — Maltbie Davenport Babcock
20. "Choice, not circumstances, determines your success." — Anonymous
21. "I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind." — George Bernard Shaw

31. "Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result." — Oscar Wilde

33. "Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't.

In ancient times, it was believed that everything in the known world was made from one of the 5 earthly elements: water, earth, wood, fire, and metal. Each element brings it's own unique characteristics which, if properly balanced, provide the building blocks for all living things.
Using this concept, we've put focus and attention on both specifically targeted areas, and the collective interaction of those areas. Our complete Remo Nutrients feed system provides a harmonious balance of essential vitamins, minerals, and extracts that your plants need to thrive.


First to help deepen your understanding of the academic issues covered in the Topic, by amplifying the material contained in the resources found in the Topic and exchanging experiences between students and with the tutors.
Second to help prepare for the assignment – the unit assignment requires you to answer questions relating to the information presented as relevant to the learning objectives, as well as to take a critical approach to the information and to support your answer with references.
The discussion forum (which in educational terminology is called 'formative assessment') will allow you to 'practice' all of these aspects. Contribution is compulsory. Our evaluation of experience in Peoples-uni shows that the students who contribute fully to the discussion forums are more likely to pass the assignments!
We will provide feedback about your contributions to the discussions during the semester.
Please note: as in the assignments, it is important that you acknowledge any items you use in the discussions which are taken from the work of others. If you copy and paste from another source, you must acknowledge the source and reference it. It is always better to use your own words anyway!
Try to think of this discussion as a face to face meeting, similar to a tutorial. Be prepared to make an active contribution and offer your ideas but also comment on the messages that other participants have made and the resources you will find in the Topic. You may also identify and present relevant case studies or journal articles to add to the resources we have presented. We suggest that you use the discussions to practice your critical reasoning skills and the referencing of published papers and other resources - both of these are required in order to pass the assignment.
The first thing you need to do, before you write your discussion post, is read the resource materials for that topic. When you read the materials you should make notes and think about how the resources relate to your own experience in your country.
is it based on some knowledge you read in the topic resources.


Another useful alternative to ensure secure, storm-proof erection of the Garden Shed on soft and uneven ground is to combine the Biohort Floor Frame with a point foundation. The foundation points should be positioned at each of the four corners of the shed and have a minimum size of 30 x 30 cm. The excavation should be of an adequate depth to ensure protection against frost.
The Garden Shed HighLine is positioned on the floor frame and secured twice (2x) onto each of the four foundations with the anchoring materials enclosed as shown in the photograph. For larger shed sizes, extra point foundations must be provided between the corners as well!
IMPORTANT: ensure the garden shed is securely anchored against storm winds (appropriate mounting materials are included in scope of supply). Biohort cannot be held liable for damage caused by inadequately fastened products.

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic does not fear the sack despite Premier League struggles this season
Updated: 25th November 2016, 1:37 pm
Slaven Bilic enjoyed a stellar debut season but has struggled this time around
West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic insists he does not fear the sack despite his side's dreadful start to the season.
The Hammers are currently languishing just a point above the relegation places after last weekend's dramatic 3-2 defeat at Tottenham.
The picture could look a lot bleaker by mid-December, with Bilic's side facing three title contenders over the next month.
They travel to Manchester United on Sunday – and again in the EFL Cup on Wednesday – followed by a visit from Arsenal and a trip to Liverpool.
But, despite the team's precarious position, Bilic is not feeling pessimistic about his position as he believes he still has the backing of joint-chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan,
He said: "I feel supported and as I have said so many times I concentrate on my job and our next game, and that's basically it.
"I'm not fearful. I feel pressure, of course, because we are not producing, we're not delivering and we don't have enough points to feel happy and to feel safe.
"But I see the improvement. Against Spurs I saw a team hungry and alive; the points were there for us in a difficult away game, so that's what I'm confident about.
"The table is still very tight. If we had won at Spurs we'd have been about 12th.
"We can say it's still early days but we have to start picking up the points. We can say we deserved more or were unlucky, but the table doesn't lie."
West Ham will be without defender Winston Reid for Sunday's trip to Old Trafford after he was dismissed for a second bookable offence at white Hart Lane last Saturday.
Despite his absence, the Hammers will be boosted by the return of skipper Mark Noble from suspension.

Announced June 30, tZERO will support secondary trade for NYCE's tokenized common shares once the real estate company has completed its upcoming Regulation A+ offering, subject to regulatory approval.
NYCE's shares will be tokenized using tZERO's proprietary smart contract technology. Philip Michael, CEO and co-founder of NYCE, stated:
"Through our partnership with the leader in liquidity for digital securities, tZERO, we are excited to provide investors with liquidity optionality."
The real estate firm was founded by Michael and FC Barcelona soccer player Martin Braithwaite, with media describing the platform as a "Robinhood of real estate investing."
The NYCE app allows retail investors to own fractionalized shares in properties from its $260 million portfolio, describing its mission to create 100,000 high-net-worth millennial stakeholders of color by 2030.
NYCE finalized its $1 million Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) offering in October 2020, setting a record for the fastest Reg CF offering to raise seven figures. The company formally launched its app in March.

Of the tokens on the exchange, volume for the ASPN token has consistently lagged behind tZERO's native token TZROP and Overstock's digital security OSTKO since the resort's token was launched.
The security token sector has been on a wild ride in recent years, with monthly volume increasing from roughly by more than 110 times from less than $200,000 as of January 2020 to roughly $22 million during August.
However, monthly trade activity has since slumped more than 75% with less than $5 million in May.
According to Security Token Group's latest report, TZROP was the most-traded security token for the month of May with nearly $2.7 million worth of trade. TZROP's market cap is currently roughly $140 million, which would rank it as the 229th-largest crypto asset by capitalization, according to CoinGecko.


This Discreet Case fits the FN FS-2000. It is constructed of 1000 denier nylon with 3/8" closed cell foam padding.

Heavy Rain Through Thursday
January 22, 2020 -
JSC is Open
DATE: June 18, 2018 8:02:58 am UTC
From the National Weather Service:
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are filling in along the Gulf coast this morning and are expected to move inland by mid to late morning. Periods of locally heavy rain will be possible today through Thursday as a tropical disturbance approaches the middle/lower Texas coast.
A tropical disturbance in the west-central Gulf of Mexico will continue to bring rounds of showers and thunderstorms this evening through Thursday. Forecast widespread rainfall totals through Thursday are expected to range from 4-6 inches over the Piney Woods to 10-12 inches near Matagorda Bay. (Please note: this is a larger time window than has been used in previous briefings to capture rain chances persisting into Thursday.) The tropical disturbance has a low chance (10%) of tropical cyclone development in the next 48 hours, but further development of this system is not anticipated.
Significant flooding is not expected with this system today given the abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions across the region, but high rain rates may contribute to isolated flooding issues. While locally heavy rain will be possible anytime through Thursday, the best window now appears to be on Tuesday and Wednesday due to the slow movement of the storm system associated with the rain. Any rain that falls today may make the region more susceptible to flooding issues from rain that falls on Tuesday and Wednesday and a Flash Flood Watch may be needed during that time.
