I usually hold off on publishing a post until I've got the formatting tidied up and the images in. I can't even figure out how to do that yet. So I'm posting a couple of ragged, really funny-looking articles, because it's better than not posting at all, and there is SO much to keep up with I don't want to keep falling behind here.
As I've said before, making decisions amidst pain-brain and the neurowackiness of CRPS is not the easiest thing to do.
It takes more effort and time than it used to, but the years have led me to certain strategies that help me make good decisions pretty consistently, even though doing so is such an up-hill task.
1: Good info about the problem.
The idea of "good info" is key. For health and practical matters, I need my info to be coherent, consistent, reliable, and reasonable. Above all, I need it to reflect reality — in other words, to be true.
Opinions are not info, except when they are.
But seriously — a professional opinion, about something that's pertinent, does matter. That opinion goes into the data pool.
Personal opinions, which are usually accompanied by logical fallacies[LINK], are not data (except to sociologists and comedians) and will never be useful to me. I can provide my own, if I want them. I've got loads of opinions, but they go up on the shelf when I'm culling information.
I need facts, data, professional (or highly-skilled amateur) quality input.
At this point, I'm not always as diligent about that as I think I should be. A large part of this early stage of inquiry is getting a sense of the social and cultural clues. I find it almost impossible to immerse myself in a subject without letting in some of the noise around it. /shrug/ Not perfect yet.
After mulling things for a bit, I find that the lower-quality info annoys me instead of pulling me in, and I seek out more higher-quality info with a better basis in experience or science or whatever the best measure of the field is.
I'm building a mental map of the field, and where I see blank spaces, I try to fill them in with information.
Good information about my options.
This is where it gets interesting. Because of my significant non-standard needs, which are not so much a matter of taste as of survival (key point there!), I have to put extra time, diligence, and effort into developing a good list of options, because by the time I've done a reality check to evaluate my options against my diseases and disabilities, the REAL options available to ME tend to be few — even where most people would have a lot to choose from.
This is one of those occasions where the limits I live with just hit me in the face, and I have to figure out how to deal with a reality most people can't even wrap their heads around as anything other than a bizarre whimsy or a sign of questionable judgment.
This is when I can sound half-cocked, because the decisions are floating around in my brain in about 5 dimensions and don't readily lend themselves to explanatory words. Action words, yes, but not explanatory ones. So,it sounds like I'm going off half-cocked, when what I'm doing is trying on a decision for size.
My focus is oriented towards implementing my current decision, and of course at the time I always think it's the Real Plan. If I didn't, I wouldn't focus as hard and pay as close attention to what goes on when my decisions meet the outer reality.
At this point, I've got the basic decision made, and I'm roughing out how to make it happen.
Because I have a peculiar set of circumstances (in every possible respect, it seems), my decisions are rarely off-the-shelf solutions. Every solution is customized. They have to be, or I suffer, lose brains, and die horribly. Or, at least, things don't go well. YMMV — my mileage varies all the time.
Just what it says. This is a semi-conscious process that I can feel happening, but doesn't lend itself well to description. It's more of the tree-and-grass activity, adjusting and tuning my ideas and understanding all the way down and all the way across and all the way up the related chains of ideas. It takes a lot longer than it used to, but it does happen if I'm patient and let it be.
In time, what I don't know becomes obvious to me, and what I need to unload just goes.
If, at this point, I've got a workable choice, I'm done. Time for the next task.
If not, time to re-assess and re-evaluate.
At this point, I'm past online research alone; I need to talk to experts. This involves phone calls and meetings and interviews. The face-time may not be free. The mobility may not be easy. I may have to spend more time on the phone than my brain is, er, quite happy with.
This one-to-one contact is a super-effective way for me to get more info out of people than they're aware that they're sharing, so if I can afford it — physically and fiscally — I'll do it.
Have the vocabulary. I'm not at all afraid to ask for corrections, but it's essential to have a working vocabulary of the subject and the major professionals involved. An hour or four over a few days of web-reading usually provides enough context for me to get going with.
Can show an intelligent interest in them and the subject. They need to know I'm taking them seriously in order for them to take me seriously. An extra 15 minutes on their web site, learning about the people and history behind the industry or company, pays off hugely.
Have a clear, specific answer to the question, "What can I do for you?" I need to know what it will look like when I have the answers I'm looking for. That means I need to have a pretty good idea what my questions should be. This is rarely as easy as it sounds. All those orbiting words and ideas have to be beaten into some kind of shape so the question marks bursting out of my head have meaningful sentences in front of them.
Have note-taking or recording equipment appropriate to the format of the meeting and my physical and attentional abilities at the time. I need notes. As medical professionals get drilled into our heads, "If it isn't documented, it didn't happen." Plus, I want to make sure I get the data right. The ideas I can process; it's the facts and figures and new terms I need to preserve.
Going through my Evernote directory, if it's a subject that needs one, and making sure I have enough info in it that I could go back and reconstruct my reasoning just from my information pool.
The discussions and "interviews" with friends and trusted contacts are important (especially in relation to whether an option matches my needs) but much more casual. A significant exchange can happen in 15 seconds at the deli counter or between gossip and talk about the weather. I can "download" a huge amount of info in these brief, solid exchanges with people who know me well.
Therefore, after a certain (large) amount of data-gathering, thinking, and processing, it's essential for me to do sanity-checks and get assessments from friends and contacts I trust in that context.
This is where the adhesive meets the tacky surface. There's a lot more weight and momentum behind a plan that falls into place after all that thinking and working and studying up and experimenting, and it shows.
To think it used to be so easy, and lightning quick, before I got sick.
I remember wondering, almost a decade ago, how I could possibly make sound decisions when there was so much that was so uncertain in my mind. The time passed, I kept working on it, and the decisions involved in making a process for decisions evolved into something repeatable and reliable. Phew!
Admittedly, this might be one of those posts that I think is wonderfully uplifting and informative and positive and yadda yadda, and normal people have to call a therapist after reading. If it weren't for my fellow painiacs, and the otherwise-normal people who love me and want to know how things are going, I'd probably have abandoned this years ago.
However, that's not what I sat down to write.
Not long ago[LINK], I was in a tailspin about how to manage winter in this body, which is inevitably a bit tiresome (oh look! A flash of humor!), and looked like being more so than ever this year.
I have to stop just at the point where my blood gets going and it just starts to feel warm and wonderful. That's right, I have to stop before it gets really good. If I don't, I wind up in a slow-motion collapse onto the sofa or bed, and have to really work at it to keep the usual disciplines of getting a shower and food and toilet trips. Since that means that appointments and groceries may not happen, it's kind of a big deal.
I assure you, many people live like this.
Ah, the car. There is a story about the car. And what a story it is! So much of a story, in fact, that it's going to have to wait for its own blog post. It might be right up there with "Intestinal Fortitude"[LINK] for sheer WTH??? But, luckily, I wound up with a good solid vehicle that mitigates everything about driving that a vehicle could possibly mitigate. Unfortunately, it's easily 4 inches higher off the groudn than the last one.
Talk about stepping off a curb too hard.
I also thought about the eliptical trainer, which I hadn't been using very mindfully. I lurched from one foot to the other, and I know my hips were taking a wrenching, but I was too daffy to notice. I just, strangely, couldn't improve my time. I wonder why!
I remember a PT 11 years ago, in my first Multi-Disciplinary Functional Restoration Program, who worked with all of us to "control your descent," meaning, don't just plonk your foot dodwn and crsh the rest of your weight onto it; lay your foot down, roll on in a controlled fashion, and whoa, suddenly life gets a lot better — until you forget. Real built-in motivation, there.
Don't lurch onto the next step and come crashing down on it.
Stay mindful of each more; it pays off immediately.
Well, that has helped enormously!
It's elegant and genteel, two words I never cherished but now find strangely redeeming, to pause and collect both legs before exiting a vehicle, and stepping down gently.
I've gotten cushions I recommended to a friend with a tailbone injury [LINK?] for myself, and everything I sit in is loads better; I can rest.
As for plopping into chairs, that has gone the way of hopping out of my car; still happens once in awhile, but instantly regretted. I control my descent.
The ice and snow are doing interesting things in the driveway, and it will get dealt with, but since my amazing vehicle doesn't mind, I have the time to prioritize and deal with it when I can do so properly. (I might get a plow attached… that could pay for itself in a couple of years, given my usual fortune/skill at shopping for bargains and finding friendly neighbors who'll do things cheaply.) I can control the descent of that resolution.
It's nice not to be crashing from fire drill to inferno. I'm coming back to myself — the practical, quirky-clever, loving little dingbat that still lives on under all the messes I've staggered through over the years.
I like the dry, mechanical nature of the image of "controlling my descent." It gets quite emotional enough in here, I don't need to rock the boat any more by trying too hard to push the perkiness; it's healthier for me to just calm the upheaval. I can't stop life throwing me up in the air sometimes. However, I can usually do something to control my descent.
Those of you who've been, been with, or treated addicts won't be surprised to know that J's story changed 3 times in a week, but I didn't fall for it. He has not tried to come back, did not go to the deadly place, and is taking care of himself rather better than might be expected.
The fact that he's not imminently in danger is a huge relief, actually. I can handle breakups — I just can't handle mortality.
I looked back at my previous post and got a huge laugh out of the fact that I opened with one sentence regarding a life-shattering event and went straight into the nerdiest possible fugue about meds, care, and therapies that are affected by it. I'm not sure of the distinction between nerd, dork, and geek, but I'm pretty sure I'm all three, and that's okay with me. The doc I sent that letter to is the brainiest of those, whichever that may be.
The feelings washing through me are as varied as you might expect. There are some ways I feel freed up — I finally got to rearrange the living room furniture, and it's a vast improvement. Nobody to get all tense and cranky about moving his sofa location. I look back no the ways I'd just stopped making room for myself because it was easier than arguing. The last year and a half was a downward trend, the last year pretty bumpy, the last few months really rough, and the last few weeks we were together were frankly awful.
What I miss is that where he was, was home. I'm homeless in one sense, because he's homeless in the literal sense. (He sure enjoys the camping, though.) I rarely had to scold him for anything because he could hear me yelling at him in my head; he'd give me the same pissy look my cat used to give me when he was scolded, and make the adjustment I wished he'd make, with no more than 5 soft words exchanged. He literally read my freaking mind.
I don't know what he'll do when the weather changes. Not my circus now. He's facing the consequences of his own decisions, and one is that he has fewer, and at this point less attractive, options.
I found a person who knows how to get me signed up for things like help with the dishes and laundry and vacuuming, rides to my medical appointments, and other logisstical needs. The shuddering absence of J has left me with arms so overused and attention so wrung out that I had trouble driving safely home today. I actually missed a turn on a road I've taken uncountable times. Not reassuring, that. Fortunately, it was easy to correct.
As I explained to my passenger: I can pay attention to the road and obstacles around me, and I can control the vehcile I'm driving, and do both confidently; the rest, like where to turn, is a bit iffy.
The physical consequences crash on, no matter how calm I can keep my mind most of the time. The tearing, strengthless feelings in my hand tendons is pretty scary. My ashtma is acting up, a consstant background pull. I guess I'd better raise my antihistamine dosage, and make an appointment with my rheumatologist to look into that.
The emotions ebb and flow: bouts of anger, so seductive but I refuse to cling to them … I let them roll through and roll away; irritation; lovely memories; wry humor; noticing things he'd like; gaping wounds of loss; grief; the endless wordless cry of a mature heart that's broken, like a descant that never stops. I let them roll through. I'm an old hand at loss. The trick is not to hide from them, and not to cling to them. Look at them, one by one or five by five as they come, and see them for what they are. Then let them go. Not easy, but so worth it.
Task focused is good. I have things on my schedule and things I have to do. I pay attention to the next task. It really helps. It's okay to stay out of emotional space, something I didn't used to know. It's absolutely okay not to go prodding that open wound. I can work around it.
I was cooking up a frozen Indian dinner on the stove, anything further being beyond me and microwave dinners being disgusting to me (except rice-pasta mac and cheese, for some reason.) I sat there, stirring it gently, and taking a step back to look at the whole picture.
Aspects of my life are better. There's no arguing, for one thing. I'm seeing my friends more.
Aspects of my life are harder. I have more creative impulses but less ability to do anything with them. The logistics of getting through the week are awful.
On the whole, my life is definitely worse without J in it. His jobs can be done by others, but the whole blooming warmth and joy and peace that he brought with him, until he gave into the "stinkin' thinkin'" of addictive-mind, is gone, except in memory.
Having said that — having looked squarely at that — I let it go.
I remember the time I decided to give up on repeating my mistakes. It was at my first nursing job, on the HIV unit. I realized, imperfect person in a tough high-stakes job that I was, that I was probably going to make mistakes. I made an agreement with myself not to repeat them, but to pay attention and learn, and when I screwed up, to figure out how to avoid doing that particular thing again.
I waited too long for him to do what he needed to do to get better. He's not going to do that unless and until he decides, and — here's the not repeating mistakes part — he has no place here unless and until he has well begun that arduous journey.
Whether he takes it or not is not up to me.
Not my circus any more.
Time to have that dinner and watch a silly movie.
This is one of several blog posts I drafted late last year and got distracted from.
This level of fundamental-ness has a certain appeal in the depth of winter.
Fortunately for me, I don't have too much trouble with existential questions. At a certain point, when everything I thought defined me had been blasted away, and in my mind there was not a single structure left that held a fragment of my old self, and all I saw stretching away to the mental horizon was blasted mud and broken stone and shapeless lumps and rot… I asked myself, "None of 'me' is left. Who am I?" And I realized that something was standing there, doing the asking.
That was my answer: I'm what is left after everything has been blasted away. I'm the immanent awareness, unable to be seen or described, simply because only less-permanent things can be seen or described.
As I think about that last sentence, I realize why objects lost their fascination for me. It was weirdly easy to get rid of gorgeous and glorious things I could no longer afford to keep. A couple of them I still miss, like my old bedstead (birdseye maple, passed down from my grandmother), but very few.
Things did get worse for awhile, and only curiosity kept me alive. (I simply had to know how the story went.) It propelled me through the work of surviving when my body had failed.
Angels appeared just before it was too late — several times; my life was a solid group effort — and eventually I fled the area and got my disability check (yes they were related) and could afford to survive. I have some photos that seem ethereal still, I look so nearly gone, smiling back from the edge of the grave, happy I don't have to take that last step.
As usual, lately, I've wandered off-course.
My ability to track a tale (remember I survived the impossible because I had to see how the story went?) is enfeebled. It's barely tottering along on one of those cumbersome canes with 4 feet, too heavy to lift and too necessary to leave behind.
I grind to a halt in my post, forgetting what I started this for, but this time, I'm letting you in on the secret. This blog is not retired, and being incapacitated has not excused me before, as a flick back would show. Or even when I was blowing bubbles.
I'm approaching this winter with the determination that it will be different than the last, which was an endurance exercise — one that went on for 9 months, as Spring never sprung and my Summer was clouded by meningitis.
So far, I'm getting more physiotherapy, more outings, and even have a weekly pain group I meet with. The higher level of activity is key; because exercise is so important for healing and supporting the brain, I have to find ways to stay active, despite the obvious drawbacks for someone with roaring sensory and cardiovascular issues to leaving the house during a New England winter.
I'm pleased with that. Yay, me!
Now for the other part.
Too much exercise is poisonous, because I have a solid case of exercise intolerance. I can safely walk less than a mile, which really irritates me. It takes that long just to warm up!
Also, drawing and sketching is back to being hard work. For awhile there, sketches flew out from under my pencil like they'd been crowded in there too long. Now, it's stick figures with bad hair. I draw anyway now and then, because it's better to keep trying than to give up altogether.
I don't want to exercise too little or draw badly, but I do it anyway. Why? Because there's always an afterwards, and I still have to work on influencing an "afterwards" I want.
Meanwhile, as my ability to juggle logistics is holding ground, my ability to juggle language is slipping.
After I was a nurse, I was a writer. Before I was a nurse, I was a writer. I started calling myself a writer before the age of 10, and started rescuing and healing animals shortly after.
I'm crashing into the stupefying question: "What am I, if I'm not a writer?" I feel like nothing without that. I feel like an intrusive blob of snot on the face of the earth, out of purpose and out of place and not very pleasant to have around.
My immanent awareness looks on as my sense of self weeps helplessly. It is what it is. I am what I am… whatever that is. That will always be true, even as everything else changes.
Meanwhile, though my strength and endurance are rather better than I'd hoped, my blood pressure and pulse are less stable. One more set of variables (or issues) to chase down, one more group of tests to orchestrate, one more set of diagnostic efforts to get through, one more possible adjustment to my regime to figure out, integrate, and absorb.
By the way, that lower abdominal pain has no treatable cause. Nothing to be done but roll it into the bundle of issues (or variables) to manage and work around. Every. Freaking. Day.
This is what it's like for me to head into winter.
A cousin and I promised each other that we'd live forever until the day we die. That agreement still stands, but gee whiz, could this be a little less tiresomely complex??
Update: And here I am, 2 months later, writing again. Still waiting for drawing to come back, though.
Digesting my food is hard work now, again. Always something.

Ideas On Purpose
There was once a rich man who wanted to find the meaning of life, and committed all his wealth and influence in this endeavour. He started by forming a research group that gathered and analyzed every single information; everything that has ever been written about life's purpose and its meaning.
He then spoke with the brightest professors, philosophers and theologians. He even went to the leaders of each religion – asking two very simple questions: What is the meaning of life? What are we supposed to do here on earth and in this life?
However, even after five years of extensive research, he still did not have a clear definition of the meaning of life. There were more theories than answers. He was now more confused than when he first started.
He began to lose hope. What if there is no purpose? What if there is no meaning? What if this is all there is to it – that there is nothing more in life?
Doubts began to cloud his mind. What if I just wasted five years of my life?
As he went through the last bits of information that came to him, he began to read about story (more like a legend) of a wise monk living in a monastery high above the Himalayas. According to the story, the sage was so wise that he could answer any question brought before him. This is my last chance, he thought. Maybe I can find my answers from age-old wisdom!
He spent the next 2 years in search of this wise sage of the Himalayas. He travelled to every village in the area, and spoke to every chieftain and wise man he could find. Yet, no one knew of the fabled wise monk.
Then one day, he came across an ancient map that detailed the location of a great temple in the mountains. This is it! He thought. I have finally found where the wise sage lives!
With only a local guide with him, he trekked up the treacherous mountains of the Himalayas. It took him nearly three weeks to reach his destination.
The temple was a magnificent sight! Sitting on top of the highest mountain peak, it looked like a colossal fortress in the clouds.
At last, I will finally get my answers. The rich man couldn't help but smile as he was led to a massive chamber with nothing but a few wooden tables and chairs. At the centre of the room, sat the wise monk of the Himalayas.
The rich man bowed to the great sage and asked his two questions.
What is the meaning of life? What are we supposed to do here on earth and in this life?
The wise monk stared at the rich man for a few seconds, then uttered only two words in response.
Look within.
The journey to find our purpose and mission in life starts within us. There is no general answer that will apply for everyone.
Our journey through life is very personal. We have to discover the answers for ourselves. The meaning of our life is unique for each one of us. We have our own life to live, our own true selves to discover, and our own mission and purpose to fulfil.
Each of us is a unique being. We are built for a specific role. We need to accept and understand our uniqueness, our true nature. What makes us different from everybody else? What makes us unique? Finding ourselves is not a quick, easy and one-time process. It is a life-long journey of discovery.
Look within and master yourself first. Discover and develop your passions, talents and abilities. Be true to your nature, and live the life you are supposed to live. Do the things that come naturally. Do what truly makes you happy.
In the process, you will live life fully and completely. You will be happier and more at peace. Everything will seem to fall into place. Things will all feel natural.
By being true to ourselves, we will change for the better. We will evolve. And we will gain a deeper understanding of our life's mission and purpose.
"Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose." - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D.
Life has a purpose.
The search for life's purpose is a very personal journey. The meaning of life is unique for each one of us. We have to look within ourselves, and ask deep questions.
Our personalities, passions, talents and abilities all point to our unique role in life and in the world. We are built for a specific mission and purpose.
And this purpose is revealed to us as we discover our true selves, and live life to the fullest.
Purpose Idea Project
Purpose is a single idea that can transform your life. Believe that we are here for a reason, that we have a mission and a purpose to fulfil in our lives – and you will see things in a bigger, broader perspective.

National Secondary Schools use Malay as the main medium of instruction because Malay language is the National language of Malaysia while English is a compulsory subject in all schools. SinceScience and Mathematics had been taught in English, however in the government decided to revert to use Malay starting in year In addition, foreign languages such as Arabic or Japanese may be taught at certain schools.
Secondary education lasts for five years, referred to as Form Tingkatan 1 to 5. Most students who had completed primary education are admitted to Form 1.
As in primary schools, students are promoted to the next year regardless of their academic performance. Co-curricular activities are compulsory at the secondary level, where all students must participate in at least 2 activities for most states, and 3 activities for the Sarawak region.
There are many co-curricular activities offered at the secondary level, varying at each school and each student is judged based in these areas.
Competitions and performances are regularly organised. Co-curricular activities are often categorised under the following: Student may also participate in more than 2 co-curricular activities.

The Academic stream is generally more desirable. Students are allowed to shift to the Arts stream from the Science stream, but rarely vice versa. Previously, this was reported on result slips as a separate result labelledwhich meant students received two grades for their English papers.
This separate grade is given based on the marks of the essay-writing component of the English paper. Shortly after the release of the SPM results in Marchthe Education Ministry announced it was considering reforming the SPM system due to what was perceived as over-emphasis on As.
Local educators appeared responsive to the suggestion, with one professor at the University of Malaya deploring university students who could not write letters, debate, or understand footnoting. I cannot communicate with them.

Secondary schools using other languages as medium of instruction, most of them Chinese schools, were offered government aid on the condition that they convert into English-medium schools. In the s, as the government began to abolish English-medium education in public schools, all National-type Secondary School were gradually converted into Malay-medium schools.
However, Chinese educational groups are unwelcoming of the new development and continue to push for the distinction to be made between the 78 formerly Chinese-medium schools and other secondary schools.
The schools continue to have "SMJK" on the school signboards and boards of directors continue to manage the school properties, as opposed to schools that are directly managed by the government. Most former Chinese-medium SMJK continue to have a majority Chinese student and teacher population, usually only accept students from Chinese-medium primary schools, have Chinese language as a compulsory subject and have bilingual Malay and Chinese school announcements.
These schools used to cater mainly for Malay elites but have since expanded as schools for nurturing Malays who are outstanding academically or those displaying talents in sports and leadership.
The schools are modelled after British Boarding School. Post-secondary education Pre University [ edit ] See also: List of post-secondary institutions in Malaysia After the SPM, students from public secondary school would have a choice of either studying Form 6 or the matriculation pre-university.
Although it is generally taken by those desiring to attend public universities in Malaysia, it is internationally recognised and may also be used, though rarely required, to enter private local universities for undergraduate courses.
Additionally all students may apply for admission to matriculation. This matriculation is a one or two-year programme [12] run by the Ministry of Education. Not all applicants for matriculation are admitted and the selection criteria are not publicly declared, which has led to speculation that any criteria existing may not be adhered to.
Having been introduced after the abolishment of a racial-quota-based admission into universities, the matriculation programme continues the role of its predecessor, albeit in modified form. The matriculation programme adopts a semester basis examination two semesters in a year.

After completing the program, the students are placed into various science-based courses in local universities through the meritocracy system. Some students undertake their pre-university studies in private colleges. More recently, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is becoming more popular as a pre-university option.English majors usually begin with the introductory course The Literary Imagination, with surveys in English and American literature, and with courses in genre and issue studies, such as Nature Writing and Environmental Literature, Literature by Women, African and Caribbean Literature, Illness and Health in Literature and Readings in Poetry.

Adam Lallana Refutes Southampton "Strike" Rumour
Adam Lallana has gone on record as saying he never threatened to "strike" over Southampton's refusal to let him move to Liverpool, which is odd because no one has ever levied this accusation at him before now.

"OMG EVERYONE LOVES ME!!!"
Clive Brunskill
They say that breaking up is hard to do, and Liverpool's contingent of ex-Southampton players know that it's true more than any of the club's recruits from this past summer. Rickie Lambert moved on without much controversy, but the prolonged negotiations around Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren caused strife on both sides. Now it seems that Lallana is being asked to explain the actions that lead up to his departure from Southampton.
"I didn't say I'd never play for the club again," Lallana clarified. "Once I knew of Liverpool's interest, I asked the club if they could come to an agreement and that it would be my wish to leave and join Liverpool. I make no secret of that, I'm an ambitious person.
"I just felt at the age I was at in my career and with Mauricio [Pochettino] leaving as well, it was [the] right time for me to test myself. It was a great opportunity. It's sad and I am disappointed that certain fans feel like that, but I can kind of understand why. They love Southampton, they are Southampton fans. I will always love Southampton. I had a great time down there. It's just one of those things."
Lallana's request to move is being painted as a "strike" in the press, which is odd considering the Southampton player who came nearest to "striking" was Dejan Lovren when he suggested he wouldn't join up with the Saints for pre-season after his post-World Cup vacation. Lovren never followed through on his ultimatum, and it's odd that the question is now being put to Lallana, whose transfer was indeed sticky but never involved any talk of the player refusing to play. Until now for whatever reason.
To be fair to the press, Liverpool bought so many Southampton players that it's easy to confuse them and their convoluted transfer stories. Grab a little of Story A, apply it to Player B, and presto! You've got a player denying something he'd never been accused of in the first place.

Glen Johnson Contract Talks "Quiet" but Open to Euro Move in January


A sermon for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost, July 1, 2018. The scripture readings are Wisdom of Solomon 1:13-15; 2:23-24, Psalm 30, 2 Corinthians 8:7-15, and Mark 5:21-43.
The other day, several of the Merricats-Castle preschool kids were in the garden with their parents. One little girl was exploring every corner, looking at the flowers, climbing on the bench, playing with her friend. But at one point, something she was playing with seemed to go into the bushes. Not quite sure what to do about it, she looked over at her mother and yelled, "Help!" Her mother stopped her conversation, went over, and helped solve the little girl's problem.
As I watched the little girl ask for help easily and naturally, I wondered, "At what age do we stop doing that?" When do we begin to learn that it's NOT ok to ask for help or that we should do everything ourselves? How often are we like that little girl—needing help, perhaps wanting help—and yet, we don't ask?
Today's Gospel introduces us to someone who does ask for help. But in order to ask for help, he must have overcome a lot of internal and external resistance. Jairus is a leader in the synagogue. He's well known and probably successful in whatever he does. He's someone people look up to, the sort of person you'd want running stewardship or chairing a mission project. He gets things done (and sometimes that means doing them yourself if you want them done right.) He is probably responsible and organized and runs a tight meeting.
But suddenly, with his little girl sick, he's out of his field of expertise. He can't control, manage, or direct. He can't fix or persuade. He's at his wit's end. His daughter is getting worse and some are saying that she is going to die. Finally, out of resources, out of ideas, with no more options, Jairus reaches out to Jesus. Jairus asks God for help, and healing comes.
This story has a happy ending, but it's the kind of story I sometimes worry about people hearing. Does this story always promise a happy ending? If a young parent with a very sick child comes to me, do I tell them this story as a means of hope, or do I carefully avoid talking about Jairus and his daughter, in case it gives false hope, in case it gives the impression that God always shows up right when we need it and that healing always comes with a cure?
Perhaps here is where we might recall that healing CAN involve a cure, but doesn't always. If healing has to do with wholeness, with shalom, with God's bringing things to a loving completion, then we will need to acknowledge that sometimes healing end s in death. That's one aspect of the vast spectrum of healing, but we (and others in this room and beyond) also know that miracles of healing happen. People get better. A parishioner who risked losing her eyesight had surgery that included the doctor placing a tiny bubble in the back of her eye. The bubble filled the hole somehow and sight was preserved, a miracle made. Sometimes miracles involve medicine, and sometimes they are simply unexplained.
Miracles happen with prayer and with medical care. But today's Gospel also points to the more mundane miracles in our lives—the ones that involve healing when someone asks for help.
After Jairus asked for help, his daughter is healed—but that's just the most obvious part. The Gospel doesn't go into detail about the other ways that I'm sure Christ brought healing—to Jairus, to his family, to their community, and on and on the healing circle goes. That's the way healing works when we are humble enough to ask for help—it expands in all kinds of unimagined directions.
When I think of this kind of healing I think of a former parishioner I'll call "Sarah." Sarah was middle aged and never married. She had no living family except for one or two distant cousins. When she first received a diagnosis of cancer, she began on a course that would create miracle after miracle. She asked for help.
First Sarah asked friends for help understanding the diagnosis. Which course of treatment might be best? What were others' experiences? In order to ask for help, she had to get to a new place of humility of realizing that there was no way she could absorb all of the information, do all the research, and weigh every detail alone. She needed help. But that was just the beginning.
Over the next five years, Sarah's health had ups and downs. She continued to invite other people to help her—doctors and nurses, but also friends and new friends from church. She had one of these amazing spirits that would smile in the face of fear and make a joke about losing her hair during chemotherapy. Each time she got a new, dire diagnosis, she would plan a trip, and that really involved asking for help. In her last year of life, the doctors told her there was no way she could make a dreamed-for safari to Africa. But she felt ok and just kept praying and asking for help. She navigated transporting her medicines across international borders. She lined up emergency insurance and medical support. She had friends praying for her. And she made her trip, taking beautiful photographs that are now shown in an exhibition at our church.
After a long series of ups and downs, Sarah eventually died—peacefully. In the process she had empowered friends who had no idea what they were capable of. She had raised new issues and concerns about the retirement complex where she lived, including other voices and changing procedures and rules for the future. She slowly gave her two animals (probably her very best friends) to other friends, blessing those families with new life and adventure. And she gave her priest (me) the kinds of conversations one usually only imagines in seminary: "What do you think heaven will be like? How do I pray for people who have wronged me but who are dead? Did I fulfil my mission in life?—on and on the questions went, and the conversations continue to live in my head and heart. They sustain me and guide me in talking with others.
Healing that comes from the humility of asking, from a place of emptiness. But the other side of healing encourages generosity and the expansion of inner and outer resources people never dreamed they had.
In Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians, Paul is talking to the wealthy Corinthians almost shames them by telling them about the Macedonians. Look at the Macedonians, he says. They're poor as church mice, but look how they insist on being a part of every campaign—they're giving and making and serving and showing up. The Christians in Macedonia had created a culture of generosity. Even though they didn't have much to share, they shared what they had. As anyone who has ever lived or served among the poor knows, it's often the poorest of the poor who are the most generous. That's because they're used to asking for help. They live more often in a place of humility, so generosity is just that much more obvious.
Richard Rohr is a popular writer and priest of the Franciscan tradition. In one little book, he says, "to finally surrender ourselves to healing, we have to have three spaces opened within us—and all at the same time: our opinionated head, our closed-down heart, and our defensive and defended body" (Breathing under Water: Spirituality and the Twelve Steps, 8-15).
To keep the head open, some kind of contemplative prayer or meditation helps.
To open up the heart, we take a look at our past, be honest with our relationships, allow for creativity, and actually allow our heart to broken, at some point.
For that third part—keeping the body open—Rohr says that the "body is like the ignored middle child in a family." Having been ignored for so long, the body gets revenge through compulsive eating, sexuality, anorexia, and addiction…" The body needs to be reclaimed as being a part of God's "good, generative force." God called it good. God calls US good. And so, we try together, to pray and to live our prayers that God might open within us, "head, heart, and body," so that we might be healed and might share healing with a wounded world.
As we celebrate this week that includes Independence Day, much of the national celebration will probably focus of the celebration of strength and success and power. Those can be good things and for them, we can offer honest thanks. But also, at least in our own lives, may we also be clear about our weak places. May the Spirit reveal our deficiencies, our inability to fix everything and control everyone. May we be aware of our neediness and ask for God's help, that we, too, may know God's healing and resurrecting love.

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) today reminded all airport personnel to refrain or stop from opening the bags and luggage of returning Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).
DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade reiterated the directive that President Rodrigo Duterte himself issued in order to address reports of baggage pilferage in airports.
"Inuulit ko po, huwag buksan o pag-interesan ang mga bagahe ng ating mga OFWs pati na mga turista. Ayaw ni Pangulong Duterte ng korapsyon. Ilayo niyo ang mga sarili niyo sa aksyon o persepsyon ng korapsyon," said Tugade.
Tugade made the remark following an incident involving a Korean couple who alleged that some of their valuables, a wrist watch and electronic cigarette, went missing at the Clark International Airport.
"After review of the airport's CCTV footage of the event, it was revealed that two Korean nationals, a male and female, were rushing towards the escalator, while a female OTS Security Screening Officer can be seen picking an item that appeared to be left behind at the X-ray conveyor belt. The latter subsequently held the item in the air in an apparent attempt to call the attention of its owner. The male Korean passenger eventually claimed the item from the screening officer," the statement read.
The security footage, provided by Clark International Airport Corp., further showed that there was no indication of misconduct, ill-intent or malice on the part of the Security Screening Officer.
OTS Administrator Arturo Evangelista also noted that the security of the riding public is the agency's utmost concern, urging the public to refrain from making hasty conclusions about such incidents.
For the same incident, the Bureau of Customs has also denied extortion claims of the female Korean passenger.
In January, Secretary Tugade summoned airport officials, airport ground handling companies, manpower service providers, and security managers following a meeting with President Duterte.
The transportation chief bared new guidelines for baggage handlers: (1) personnel uniforms must not have pockets, (2) boots or shoes must not be loose, (3) concerned personnel are no longer allowed to bring or use cellphones while on duty, and (4) are not likewise allowed to wear jewelery.

The ADCP Lab is responsible for collecting and managing currents, wave and weather data at Sebastian Inlet State Park.
The collection of data at Sebastian Inlet State Park, Florida was initiated in 1996 by the late Dr. Lee Harris of Florida Institute of Technology. The program first began with the installation of oceanographic instrumentation and was followed by an installation of sensors for weather monitoring at the end of the north jetty in 1997. The data collected aids the Sebastian Inlet District in inlet management decisions and is used to perform calculations for longshore transport of sand as well as to develop and test hydrodynamic and sediment transport numerical models.
The oceanographic instrumentation are located ~1,500 feet north of Sebastian Inlet and ~1,000 feet offshore, in a water depth of 28 feet. An R.D. Instruments Workhorse Sentinel and Nortek Aquadopp series ADCPs are co-deployed for six month intervals. The real-time ADCP data is from the RDI Sentinel which is cabled to shore and the data sent to FIT via a cellular modem.
The weather station is located 33 feet above the water (which is the standard reference height for wind data collection) at the seaward end of the Sebastian Inlet State Park north jetty. This system includes an R.M. Young anemometer, barometric pressure sensor, air temperature sensor, a YSI sonde that measures water level and temperature and a Campbell Scientific data logger, sending the data to FIT via cellular modem.

Coronavirus In Minnesota: Veterans Paying It Forward At Senior Living Facility
By John Lauritsen March 27, 2020 at 6:53 pm
Filed Under:John Lauritsen, Local TV
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Throughout our country's history there are endless examples of people looking out for each other during difficult times.
Another example happened today at Meadow Ridge Senior Living in Golden Valley where people stood outside and entertained residents inside.
Passing by this unique group of social distance serenaders, you can't help but smile. There's the Easter bunny, a walking slice of pizza, and others singing "mostly" in tune. But make no mistake they have a message to send.
"To be here today in a time of crisis is really something special," said Eli Jaffa, Moments Hospice.
It started when a news story caught the attention of Air Force veteran Steve Solmonson.
"I saw the story of the memorial rifle squad being shut down from doing funerals and it broke my heart," Solmonson said.
For 41 consecutive years the Fort Snelling Memorial Rifle Squad performed through all kinds of difficult elements. But it was COVID-19 that ended that streak.
"Was the toughest call I've had to make as commander of the Memorial Rifle Squad," Fort Snelling Rifle Squad commander, Mike Pluta said.
Instead of standing down, the rifle squad joined forces with Steve to pay it forward. 125 acts of kindness in honor of the 125 members of the squad. Armed with Easter baskets, gift cards and Papa Murphy's pizza, they chose this senior care facility for a reason.
There are 25 veterans living at Meadow Ridge. Men and women who have always looked out for our country. Now groups like these are looking out for them.
60 caregivers also work there on the front lines of a different kind of battle. From Patriotic songs to Elvis and the Beatles, people stood at their windows to see. Some of them in hospice care, but making every effort to listen. Smiles, songs, and a promise of better days ahead.
"I can't think of a better place to pay it forward," Pluta said.
The rifle squad and Moments Hospice are also hoping to give back to police officers and hospitals as part of their "pay it forward" plans.

Guns and Butter Presents Dr. Michel Chossudovsky, Global Warfare: Is the US/NATO Going to Attack Russia?
LUMPENPROLETARIAT—On this week's episode of free speech radio's Guns and Butter, host Bonnie Faulkner caught up with political economist Dr. Michel Chossudovsky. For years, the word on the Left has been that one of the the USA's central foreign policy tenets has been that: Iran is the plan.
Dr. Chossudovsky argues that there are four primary targets of US military aggression, two of which have been known as part of the so-called BRICS—Russia and China—plus North Korea.
BONNIE FAULKNER: "I'm Bonnie Faulkner. Today on Guns and Butter: Michel Chossudovsky. Today's show: Global Warfare: Is the US/NATO Going to Attack Russia?
"Michel Chossudovsky is an economist and the founder, director, and editor of the Centre for Research on Globalisation., based in Montreal, Quebec. He is the author of eleven books, including The Globalization of Poverty and the New World Order, War and Globalization: The Truth Behind 11 September, America's "War On Terrorism", and The Globalisation of War: America's Long War Against Humanity.
DR. MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY: "Well, they're certainly significant. But they shouldn't be interpreted as war preparations against the Russian Federation. They're there to threaten Russia. But, in fact, we must understand that we're in the framework of global warfare. And, by threatening Russia on its western frontier with the European Union, it doesn't signify, necessarily, that NATO and, of course, the United States are intent upon attacking Russia using conventional military hardware. And there are many reasons for that.
"First of all, Russia is involved in the Middle East. The United States and its allies are threatening Russia, China, and Iran. The United States and its allies are involved in a war in the Middle East, which, of course, Iran and Russia aren't directly involved. I'm talking about Syria. So that by putting pressure on Russia in eastern Europe, the United States is also, in effect, manipulating the environment, the geopolitical environment.
The USA is, by far, Earth's largest purveyor of planetary terror and global warfare. Dr. Michel Chossudovsky lays out before us, in his heavily referenced and supported arguments, four central characters, states, which the USA has targeted in its forthcoming military projects. Dr. Chossudovsky spells out for us the USA's imperialistic designs for conquest across the globe with well-supported research and documentation. In his interviews for Guns and Butter, he summarises what is heavily documented at Global Research and other useful websites.

Alex Wenger
"There was a time where there was peace; there was a time where people lived in harmony in Briggs, a city in the kingdom of Radox. No longer is this true, though. Briggs is no more…
Druess was born to a military family. His father was a general in the Radoxian army and his father's father was a grand general in the old kingdom. Druess was raised in the barracks and learned how to fight almost as soon as he learned to walk. Country and duty were very important to him, and it was always assumed he'd join the military to continue the family tradition. He did....."
- Chapter 1 Intro
Chapter 1 has come a long way since its start about 2.5 years ago. Almost every line of code in Chapter 1 was written in C# by myself (aside from some tools I purchased such as GAIA and a Terrain Stitcher). Below are some of the features that I have implemented myself for Chapter 1:
- Save-able Gamestate (saves Inventory, player position/rotation, currently equipped items, attributes/level, time of day
- Inventory system (Fully functional. None of the items in the inventory display were hard-coded. Items can be looted from chests around the map and saved to the player's inventory. Some items can be consumed, some are weapons and can be selected to be equipped)
- Quest/Quest Tracking system
- Cutscene System for various in-game events
- AI Controller (Including Ally AIs that fight alongside you)
- Customizable Action Pool
-Ex:
- Attack1 15% chance, 2 second cd
- Dodge 15% chance, 2 second cd, only when target is attacking
- Use Potion 15% chance, 20 second cd
- Use Spell 15% chance, 10 second cd
- Ally Configurable (Fight alongside player)
- Custom Striking Script (Live tracking of the movement of any character's weapon and checks to see if the weapon's path went through an enemy)
- Attribute Controller (Strength, Stamina, Energy, Speed, and Armour. All factored into ability/weapon damage)
- Consumables (Items such as food/drink, Buff items such as a combat potion that increases damage output for a customizable duration)
-Parry Capabilities (Currently RNG based for the AIs... Player can parry attacks manually)
- Crafting (Including learnable Recipes, Crafting Tables)
- Variety of spells (Earthquake, Fire, Force, Ice)
- Interactables (Moving doors, Chairs, Ladders (In the works), Igniting campfires)

New Strike Path Detection
For a while I struggled with dead space in my calculation of a weapon's path through the air. The game's FPS had a huge impact on the accuracy of the strike path detection so in order to get around that I implemented a calculation between each set of positions tracked each frame to fill in the gaps between the tracked position.
The first half of the video is the original strike detection, you'll notice the large gaps between the circles in the air. The second half of the video the midpoint calculation is dialed in and the gaps are filled resulting in a significant increase in accuracy.

ASX shares surge despite warnings of another market cataclysm
By Bruce Jackson, The Motley Fool.
Seemingly against the odds, ASX shares are on the up. The European crisis is forgotten for another day, but if it returns, we have a plan to beat it.
Crisis in Europe?
France lose their AAA credit rating. A Greek default looks a certainty.
What crisis?
More on that a little further down, including The New York Times warning of another market cataclysm.
Still, today at least, the music is still playing, and investors are dancing, which is more than can be said about those poor souls on the sunken Costa Concordia.
In early Tuesday trade, most sectors moved higher. Leading the way were Paladin Energy (ASX: PDN), Fairfax Media (ASX: FXJ), Goodman Fielder (ASX: GFF), Flight Centre (ASX: FLT) and Leighton Holdings (ASX: LEI).
Laggards included penny dreadful Bone Medical Limited (ASX: BNE), Cash Converters International (ASX: CCV) and even Maverick Drilling and Exploration (ASX: MAD).
As if by magic…
Speaking of Maverick, we've highlighted this $100 million market-cap stock in our last two editions of Take Stock, the Motley Fool's free email.
As regular readers will know, on Thursday we highlighted Maverick as a company firmly on the radar of Motley Fool Share Advisor Investment Analyst Dean Morel.
Low and behold, as if by magic, on Friday the company's shares jumped by 27 per cent.
This prompted at least two emails effectively suggesting Thursday's Take Stock alone was responsible for the huge rise in the share price, and we were taking credit for it to "…help boost confidence in Motley predictive powers?"
If only our predictive powers were so good…a career in card-reading, fortune telling and horoscopes awaits.
Putting the record straight
We figure a few other people might have been thinking the same way. So…let's put the record straight!
The Motley Fool's purpose is to help the world to invest – better.
Our company was founded in the U.S in 1993 by brothers David and Tom Gardner. You can see them in action in this video. We've been around a while.
Call us naïve, but we figure the way to help people invest is to recommend they buy shares in good to great companies trading at good to great prices.
You won't find us hyping the share price of some penny dreadful company for our own means. In fact, in our most recent edition of Motley Fool Share Advisor, Dean Morel explained to subscribers why we steer clear of such 'story stocks.'
All hype, but ultimately full of nothing but hot air
'Story stocks' are the ones that seemingly have all the potential in the world, but currently have no sales and make big losses. As Dean puts it…
"…the market contains scores of junky shares with amazing stories – tales of potential returns that would make your head spin. While the best advice we can offer new investors is to reflect on themselves and their personalities, the most profitable and actionable advice we can give is to completely steer clear of story stocks."
Bringing this back to Maverick and that 27 per cent share price jump…
The chart below shows the MAD share price flat-lining after we sent out Take Stock on Thursday, and Friday morning, up until around 10.40am on Friday when the stock price suddenly surged.
Source: Google Finance
We reckon this announcement at 10.40am on Friday may have had something to do with the share price jump.
Source: ASX website
Others may have thought differently…
Just to be absolutely clear, we had no knowledge Maverick was about to release a price sensitive announcement.
It was a pure coincidence that we highlighted the stock the day before.
But the moral of the story remains…investing is a game of patience. The MAD growth story has remained on track for a number of months. It's just the stock price that had moved (edging lower).
We hope that clears things up a little. We look forward to finding more MAD's to present to you in Take Stock, not withstanding our 'best of the best' ASX recommendations will be reserved for our paying Motley Fool Share Advisor members.
Motley Fool Share Advisor is currently closed to new members. If you wish to be one of the first to hear when it re-opens, please click here and enter your email address.
It pays to put your name down. After all, due to overwhelming demand, late last year we closed Share Advisor to new members after just 10 days. There is absolutely no obligation to subscribe.
Dismal stock picking
We weren't particularly surprised to read in The Australian Financial Review (AFR) of 2011 being "another dismal year for Australian fund managers."
According to investment consultants Mercer, investors in the median long-only Australian equities fund recorded a 10.7 per cent loss in the 12 months to December.
The AFR adds…
"Adding insult to injury, when fees and taxes are taken into account, investors would have been better off in a low-cost index fund. The S&P/ASX 200 benchmark index lost 10.7 per cent last year. And all this at a time when fund managers were telling anyone who cared to listen that it was a stockpicker's marker."
Here at The Motley Fool, we've long warned the majority of actively managed funds fail to beat the returns of the index. If you were looking for further proof, look no further than the Mercer study.
We encourage people to take control of their own money, to make their own investment decisions.
If you want to keep it simple, check out our 4 Step DIY Wealth Creation Plan.
If you're into individual stock picking, and you think you can do a better job of it than the professionals, we encourage you to give it a go. We'll be here to give some guidance, some recommendations of our own, and most importantly, some education.
Speaking of which…
The under-performance (again) of professional fund managers reminded me of Dean's excellent article of a few months ago titled My simple investing plan for this bear market. Dean has almost a quarter century of investing experience behind him, including the last 7 years full-time. When he talks, it literally pays to listen.
Europe – Bust or really bust?
We mentioned Europe at the top of this article.
Bloomberg reports European stocks rallied and French bonds rose after borrowing costs fell at the first bills sale since Standard & Poor's downgraded the country and as Europe's central bank bought Italian and Spanish debt.
"The reaction to the S&P downgrade has been somewhat muted. The move wasn't a surprise and was well-flagged for a number of the issuers," said Orlando Green of Credit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank.
Meanwhile The New York Times warns the Greek tragedy is far from over…
"The markets have taken into account a voluntary default by Greece, most experts say. But financial experts fear the possibility of an 'involuntary' default if the negotiators are unable to reach an agreement. That could unleash violent market reactions that could conceivably produce another market cataclysm like the 2008 bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and throw the world into another recession."
A final word of warning, and one of hope
You can get yourself all worked up about what might happen with Europe and Greece.
But I have a word of warning. Most expert predictions are the equivalent of random guesses. Don't believe me? Read all about it here.
And in any case, if we do have another market cataclysm, rather than be worried, as Dean says, we'll be ready to snap up shares in some great companies at even greater prices.

Ons Jabeur reaches the Wimbledon final by ending the streak of her close friend Tatjana Maria
Ons Jabeur ended her good friend Tatjana Maria's magical Wimbledon career and was one win away from creating her own fairy tale story at the All England Club.
Jabeur overcame an entertaining match on center court 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 to stay on course to become the first woman from an Arab country and the African continent to win a Grand Slam.
The third seed proved too good for Maria in the end, but the mother of two went down fighting after taking her remarkable 35th major appearance to its conclusion at the semi-final stage.
Maria had never reached the second week of a Grand Slam before this summer and only gave birth last April, but lost to first-time runner-up Jabeur, who the 34-year-old is likely to root for to win the showpiece. of Saturday.
The duo's friendship was well-documented, but there was a noticeable lack of eye contact between the "barbecue friends" before they stepped onto center court.
It was their fourth meeting, but the first since 2018 and a lot had changed since then, with Jabeur ranked second in the world and Maria now the mother of Cecilia as well as eight-year-old Charlotte.
Eight was the number of minutes it took for Maria to make her first service game in a clear indicator of how difficult a task she faced if she wanted to continue her dream career at SW19.
Ons Jabeur (right) gestures for the crowd to applaud Tatjana Maria after her match (Steven Paston/PA)
Jabeur would eventually break on her fifth hit and another followed in game seven, in which the Tunisian produced a drop shot on the spin that Maria returned to huge applause from a crowd of nearly 15,000.
Back-to-back aces helped the highest seed remaining in the competition take the opener in 38 minutes to move a set away from the final.
Maria was no stranger to being behind in the Championship, with four of her five matches going to a third set and three of them lasting more than two hours.
Those trademark powers of recovery were on full display at the start of the second as he rallied to hold from 15 to 40 before finally earning a first break point on Jabeur's serve.
It took almost an hour for the German to do the same against compatriot Jule Niemeier in the quarterfinals, but history repeated itself when the third seed broke in the fourth game of the second set after a wonderful exchange of dropshots and slices. .
A double fault almost got Jabeur back in right away, but the supreme defensive skills of Maria, who was making some exceptional throws with her back against the wall, made for another key hold.
Despite a first set point coming and going, largely thanks to Jabeur's brilliance at the net, World No.103 Maria forced a decider after one of her most comfortable service games.
A heavy weight of anticipation had been on Jabeur's shoulders for a long period of time, but so far he had handled the pressure flawlessly at the All England Club and he has done so again.
Ons Jabeur on his way to the final (Steven Paston/PA)
The 27-year-old had exchanged text messages with Morocco's Hicham Arazi ahead of her round of 16 tie on Tuesday with Arazi, a four-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist, begging him to break the duck of players from Arab countries who couldn't make it. to the semifinals. older
Jabeur delivered on that occasion and found his best tennis at a critical moment here.
A two-handed backhand winner with both feet off the turf showed she was ready to fight and when Maria double-faulted midway through the next game, Jabeur smelled blood.
A glorious forehand down the line secured a decisive break and a second followed to send the Tunisian to a first Grand Slam final.
Jabeur was magnanimous in victory and made sure her friend Maria shared the cheers at the end after the two hugged at the net.
"I want to say that it is a dream come true after years and years of work. I'm very happy that it's worth it and I'm still going for one more match now", said the Tunisian on the pitch.
"I definitely wanted to share the moment with Tatjana at the end because she is such an inspiration to a lot of players, including me coming back after two babies. I still can't believe how she did it."

Windows 7 on a Dell Vostro 3500 laptop. Client advises that this had previously worked but now no connections were in place and no wireless networks were being detected. When finally got to look at this discovered that the wireless card was active but was showing one NEW wireless network – a SKY home broadband – unprotected (lovely security arrangement).
When the network card configuration was checked it was discovered that the wireless settings were the problem. Somehow the settings had changed from getting an address and dns automatically – to EMPTY settings for the IP address ,subnet mask , default gateway and the dns !!!
Changing these back to the required "get automatically " option and the three missing wireless networks reappeared !! Once the connection was clicked on and the key added – Internet access returned.
So a strange one for windows 7 wireless settings.

This work highlight D&C section 35:13 in red from word 0 to word 15.
It is NOT a perfect model and there would need to be some iteration on how to get this to work properly, but if it was implemented it would allow for users to manage their highlighting with more ease, it could enable teachers to distribute scripture links and so forth in emails.
I have some more ideas about how to make this feature really nice.
You can submit your ideas through the "Feedback" link at the bottom of most pages on lds.org. You can include a link to your post in your feedback.
There might be some interesting ideas with this, including being able to save your highlights and notes (as people have reported them disappearing at times). You could share them with others.
You mentioned it needs refining. A couple of things off the top of my head: Besides tags and highlight, you'd need comments, and maybe notebook. Maybe I want to open the links and see them, but don't want them merged with my notes. You could even add "image" so the scripture sticker vendors could sell us images to put on the verses We'd need to think of ways to do this. I'm not sure how it all would work, but I think there are potential uses for such a format.

Searching for Mr. Privacy
By Kurt Opsahl
Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL and other search engines have massive databases that reach into the most intimate details of your life-- what you search for, what you read, what worries you, what you enjoy. It is critical to protect the privacy of this information so that people can feel free to use the modern tools necessary to navigate the Internet without fear of big brother looking over their shoulder. In response to a DOJ subpoena for aggregate search logs, Yahoo, MSN and AOL complied, while Google fought back.
While Google may be able to push the government back this time, the subpoena and the compliance of the other major search engines raises the question, should these service providers keep the information indefinitely in the first place? Massachusetts Representative Edward Markey, the ranking Democrat on the telecommunications subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, has an answer. He proposed a bill to limit the amount of information kept by search services.
The provision proposed by Rep. Markey is the same standard that Congress has adopted for information gathered by cable companies about individual viewing and subscription habits, and it better balances the tension between the commercial operations of Internet search engines and the privacy concerns of all Americans.
We applaud Rep. Markey for his concerns, and look forward to seeing the text of the bill to see if it adequately addresses the problems raised by these massive data troves of deeply personal information.
