Interest in what has become known as structured (or strategic) treatment interruption (STI) is high among people with HIV, judging from attendance at an April 17 community forum sponsored by Project Inform and Survive AIDS (formerly ACT UP Golden Gate). Project Inform's outreach coordinator counted 120 people in attendance, the largest turnout at any PI forum in San Francisco for some time.
Many are clearly weary of taking difficult drug regimens that can have serious toxicities. As Steven Deeks, M.D., a University of California San Francisco researcher and clinician who has been studying treatment interruption, put it, "There have been people in the community dying to stop these drugs."
But Dr. Deeks and the other members of the panel -- fellow UCSF researcher Jeffrey Harris, M.D., Ph.D., and treatment activists Ben Cheng and Martin Delaney of Project Inform and Matt Sharp of Survive AIDS, urged a cautious approach. Most research so far, they noted, has been in the form of small pilot studies that have given intriguing hints but no definitive answers as to whether STIs are beneficial or how best to do them. All agreed that patients who choose to attempt STIs on their own need to work closely with their physician and be carefully monitored.
Deeks discussed his data from an observational cohort of 400 patients at San Francisco General Hospital using protease inhibitor-based regimens and experiencing virologic failure, defined as a detectable viral load of over 500 copies. He noted that these patients still maintained most of their gain in CD4 cells despite a partial loss of control of the virus.
Deeks described a striking phenomenon he had observed in 18 patients who stopped treatment after a year or more of combination therapy with ongoing detectable viral replication and viral loads over 2,500 copies: Despite this apparent virologic drug failure, "if you stop drugs, viral load will shoot up and T-cells will plummet," he said. "So despite the fact that there may be a lot of virologic resistance, with exceptions, the drugs in general are still working -- keeping the virus down and maintaining a pretty good T-cell count." That, he explained, suggests there is almost always a risk in stopping treatment.
On the other hand, he noted that researchers have found that when such treatment-experienced patients stop therapy, their virus commonly does revert to "wild type" non-resistant strains. This could potentially mean a new chance at effective therapy for patients with high-level resistance who have been unable to find a successful salvage regimen.
But Deeks noted that in a recent conference presentation, Veronica Miller, the German researcher whose report of this reversion to wild type helped generate interest in STI, reported that when patients went back on treatment, "the viral load went down to undetectable, but in general came back up. The question is, was the risk worth it? Because there was significant risk: These people typically lost 100 to 150 T-cells, which is a lot of T-cells, and they did not come back that quickly. She said that they came back after a year."
Thus, the ultimate effect of STI in treatment-experienced patients with resistant virus is unclear. "As far as we can tell, if you do not stop therapy you keep those T-cells," Deeks noted, "so it's a complicated issue right now." Further studies, just getting underway, may improve our understanding.
Deeks described his own work which suggests why continued therapy seems to have some benefit even if virus remains detectable. In 25 patients who stopped therapy, Deeks and colleagues performed weekly resistance tests on their virus and found that after a few weeks (the exact time varied from patient to patient), the resistant virus disappeared suddenly and almost completely, replaced by wild type. It was at the same time that wild-type virus reemerged, he noted, that viral load "shot up" and T-cells plunged, suggesting that wild-type virus is "more fit" and able to do more damage. Patients may benefit because treatment forces their virus to mutate into less virulent forms.
A very different rationale for strategic treatment interruption is the possibility that patients maintaining undetectable virus can take breaks in treatment, allowing a brief burst of viral activity that will boost their anti-HIV cellular immune responses. This might, at least in theory, create a vaccine-like effect that improves control of HIV, while allowing patients to take a rest from unpleasant drug regimens.
Dr. Harris described a study he is now beginning at San Francisco General Hospital that will test this notion in patients who have been on therapy for at least 12 weeks with an undetectable viral load. Harris has recently begun enrolling participants, who will be monitored closely. Interested persons can call 415-695-3820 for more information about this study.
No one on the panel felt comfortable recommending STIs based on the current data. Deeks offered this general advice: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you are tolerating your meds, I wouldn't mess with it."
For those experiencing serious toxicities or otherwise wanting to take a break from treatment, the panel urged close consultation with one's health care provider. Cheng noted that regimens involving non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) -- nevirapine, delavirdine and efavirenz -- present an extra complication because these drugs linger in the blood longer than other anti-HIV drugs. This could allow the development of resistance if all drugs are stopped simultaneously, so it may be advisable to stop the NNRTI first.
Deeks advised frequent monitoring of CD4 and viral load levels, at least every two weeks at the beginning of an STI. This may be particularly important, he suggested, for those who had very low CD4 counts prior to starting therapy, as these individuals may be most likely to see their CD4 counts drop back down to a level at which prophylaxis for opportunistic infections is needed.
Most in the audience seemed to find the discussion informative and worthwhile, despite one frightening interruption: About 40 minutes into the presentation a dozen members of ACT UP San Francisco -- a renegade chapter disowned by other ACT UP groups and aligned with the AIDS denialist movement -- stormed into the room and threw handfuls of pills at Delaney and other panelists, shouting, "You're a liar!" and "Murderer!" Several minor scuffles broke out as disgusted audience members chanted "Shut up and leave!" at the invaders.
A Project Inform staff member was injured in the fracas and was taken to a nearby hospital with bruises and a painfully swollen knee. She and several others who were roughed up filed police reports and expressed their intent to press criminal charges.
After about 10 minutes the disrupters left, and the meeting continued without incident. Despite the violence, nearly the entire audience remained to hear the full discussion.

Recently, there's been an outbreak of a disease not often seen in the news… chickenpox. As of last week, 36 children at a small private school in North Carolina have come down with the disease.
This represents North Carolina's worst chickenpox outbreak since the vaccine became available more than 2 decades ago. Since its approval in 1995, the vaccine has significantly reduced the number of chickenpox cases – a disease that once affected more than 90% of Americans. Additionally, the site of the outbreak, the Asheville Waldorf School, is a private school where 68% of incoming kindergartners have at least one religious vaccine exemption.
What's the big deal with chickenpox?
While many know chickenpox as a nuisance disease, for some it is much more serious. Prior to the vaccine, chickenpox caused an estimated 4 million cases, 10,000 hospitalizations, and 100-150 deaths per year in the US. Since the 2 dose schedule was implemented, with one dose at 12-15 months and a second at 4-6 years, the incidence of chickenpox has decreased 9-10 fold.
According to the CDC's estimates, the chickenpox vaccine has prevented over 80 million cases, 207,000 hospitalizations, and 2,300 deaths since its licensing in 1995.
But why the hasn't the chickenpox vaccine completely eliminated the disease? The vaccine is ~90% effective. Because two doses don't guarantee protection, the vaccine requires high levels of population uptake in order to reach herd immunity levels. Unfortunately, chickenpox vaccination is often regarded as 'optional', especially with rising anti-vaccine sentiment.
Why was the Asheville Waldorf School so susceptible to an outbreak?
To obtain an exemption, parents just have to "write a statement of their religious objection to immunization." It does not need be notarized or signed by a religious leader.
(2) The school has the 3rd highest religious vaccine exemption rate in the state. During the 2017-18 school year, almost 3/4 of students in the school (110 of 152) had not received the chickenpox vaccine.
This outbreak is an example of a dangerous trend of increasing anti-vaccine sentiment. Across the country, the number of non-medical vaccine waivers has quadrupled since 2001. And as of 2017, 47 of 50 states allow religious exemptions to required vaccines. Additionally, religious exemptions pose a particularly serious threat to vaccination, as seen by the large measles outbreak in Rockland County, NY, which has sickened 77 children (and counting).
Anti-vaccine messaging, misinformation, and delayed vaccine schedules have been noted as factors in many outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. Chickenpox and measles both spread easily from person to person. As such, these outbreaks pose significant risks not just for the children of parents who choose not to vaccinate, but for those in the community who are pregnant, have immunodeficiencies, serious allergies, or cancer and are unable to get vaccinated.
All in all – the choice to vaccinate is not just an individual one. Personal vaccination decisions have community-wide repercussions. Vaccinate yourself not only for your own protection, but for those who cannot protect themselves and the community as a whole.

CURx Pharmaceuticals, Gilead Sciences form license agreement
CURx Pharmaceuticals, a San Diego-based developer of late-stage therapeutics with high medical need, has entered into a global license agreement with Gilead Sciences for development of Fosfomycin:Tobramycin for Inhalation (FTI) to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. FTI is ready for phase III clinical trials, having successfully completed a phase II trial in CF patients.
Dinu Sen, CEO and founder of CURx, said, "Clinical trials in CF patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection have demonstrated FTI's safety and efficacy. Future trials may pave the way for its use against a range of bacterial infections in CF—there is an unmet need for antibiotics with such characteristics."
"Lung infections continue to be a serious problem for individuals with cystic fibrosis," said Dr. Drucy Borowitz, director of the Cystic Fibrosis Center of Western New York. "If further studies confirm that (FTI) is safe and efficacious, it will be a significant addition to improving the health of people with CF."
Dr. Patrick Flume, director of the Cystic Fibrosis Center at Medical University of South Carolina, said, "Currently we have two drugs approved in the U.S. for use in CF patients, but there remains a need for more options."
FTI is a combination of fosfomycin and tobramycin, antibiotics well characterized for safety and anti-bacterial activity. FTI is formulated as a liquid for inhalation with an aerosol device. In phase II clinical trials FTI was shown to be safe and to effectively maintain improvement in lung function achieved with Cayston in CF patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. FTI has demonstrated antibiotic activity against multiple pathogenic bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA), in preclinical studies.

The three owners of Roaming Rooster, a D.C. restaurant whose fried chicken sandwiches exploded in popularity after a viral tweet. From left, Biniyam Habtemariam, his wife, Hareg Mesfin, and his brother Michael Habtemariam - Solomon Photo and Video Production
Two weeks ago, a tweet praising the fried chicken sandwiches at Roaming Rooster in the District of Columbia in the US went viral - and now, to repay the tweeter, the restaurant's owners have granted her free chicken for life.
The tweet from Bri Hall, a 24-year-old musician raised in Maryland whose stage name is "La Hara," drove demand for the restaurant's sandwiches, generating lines that still stretch out the door at all hours of the day.
Hall posted during the height of America's obsession with the Popeyes chicken sandwich to suggest that Washington, D.C., locals try Roaming Rooster, a family business owned by an Ethiopian immigrant who, she wrote, "has always been kind."
"After her tweet, our business went up," said Michael Habtemariam, one of the restaurant's owners. "Now she never has to pay again."
That also holds true for Hall's boyfriend, Kristopher Head, a photographer and videographer, Habtemariam said.
Habtemariam - who owns the restaurant along with his brother Biniyam Habtemariam and Biniyam's wife, Hareg Mesfin - has never before granted anyone free chicken in the roughly four years since Roaming Rooster launched, he said.
Head was the one who introduced Hall to the restaurant about a year ago, Hall wrote in an email to The Washington Post, sent before she learned she was receiving free chicken, NDTV reported.
"He came home raving about their food, bringing some for me to try and it was the BEST chicken sandwich I've ever had," Hall wrote. "From there on, a bond was forged between our families and we became regular customers."
She felt the urge to tweet about Roaming Rooster during a week ago when she was "scrolling through Twitter" and noticed a large number of posts about Popeyes, which she has never particularly liked. Hall always thought that Popeyes lacked the "it factor" you see at home or when exploring other cultures' cuisines, she wrote.
Plus, she saw the Habtemariams as "one of the kindest groups of people" she had ever met.
"I wanted people in the DMV area to know that we had something special right here in front of us, that wasn't a fast food chain," she wrote. "I couldn't be more happy since the virality of my tweet. Going to the restaurant and seeing the line wrapped outside the door was beautiful."
Habtemariam said Monday that demand hasn't dipped since Hall's tweet - if anything, it seems to be growing. Still, customers eager to try Roaming Rooster's fried chicken sandwiches (which come in five varieties) shouldn't despair: Habtemariam said that, unlike Popeyes, his restaurant is unlikely to run out of fried chicken any time soon.
He informed Hall that she had free Roaming Rooster chicken for life via Instagram direct message, Habtemariam said.
The two haven't yet spoken directly about the gift, he said, though he plans to call her soon.
Hall, who could not immediately be reached for comment about the gift, joked in a tweet that the lifetime supply of free chicken was likely to add to her waistline.
"Y'all I'm about to be THICK thick," she tweeted to her almost 27,000 followers, before adding "much love."
Hall wrote in an email to The Post that her biggest takeaway from the past few days is that "there's nothing to lose by promoting someone or something you think deserves better."
"There is no better feeling than being able to go somewhere locally and see a whole family's life changing," she wrote. "I want readers to know that if they have friends, family, or local businesses they support to support them out loud."

White House threatens veto on sequestration bill — 7 Stories you need to know
Emily Jarvis September 13, 2012
On GovLoop Insights' DorobekINSIDER:
Want real time economic data? The Census Bureau has lauched an App for that. It's called America's economy and it brings together data from 16 different economic indicators. Click here for the full story.
The SEVEN stories that impact your life
The House is expected to pass a measure today to keep the government funded for six more months. The continuing resolution increases the federal budget by $19 billion compared with a House GOP plan. Federal News Radio says overall, it's a 0.6 percent raise in government spending. Tea party Republicans oppose any increase, but some said they could be in a better bargaining position when the CR ends. The Senate is expected to pass the bill next week. Then members will once again leave Washington and hit the campaign trail.
The White House issued a sharp veto threat of a bill tailored to avoid Pentagon budget cuts slated to take effect in January. Federal Times says the veto threat came in a state of administration policy that stated White House officials believe the bill "fails the test of fairness and shared responsibility." The legislation, called the National Security and Job Protection Act, was introduced by Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., who stringently opposes new defense cuts. West's bill would slash $19 billion from discretionary spending accounts, and also contains language that would force the president to replace billions in cuts to planned Pentagon spending set to take effect Jan. 2.
How much money does it cost to protect your federal office? Federal Times reports, the Federal Protective Service collected $236 million in fees last year from agencies to perform security threat assessments on federal buildings, but the agency is failing to perform that job. The Government Accountability Office found FPS currently is not assessing risk at the over 9,000 federal facilities under the custody and control of in a manner consistent with federal standards
The Office of Special Counsel is accusing an agency leader of violating the Hatch Act. It said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius crossed the line in a February speech. CNN reports she was on duty when she urged people at a Human Rights Campaign gala to vote for President Barack Obama. Sebelius says OSC was wrong. She reclassified the speech as a political event, which political appointees are allowed to attend. The Obama presidential campaign reimbursed the government for the travel costs. The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees, including political appointees, from politicking while on the job.
Just one day remains for voting in the first HHS innovation People's Choice Award. The Department of Health and Human Services is asking the public to vote on employee projects for innovation within the department and health care. Finalists' projects range from a little box that can sniff out coal mines for explosive dust accumulations to a food sanitation training course. Voting ends on Friday.
Lynn Mofenson, a doctor at the National Institutes of Health who helped pioneer the use of a drug to combat the transmission of HIV from infected pregnant women to their babies has been named federal employee of the year by the Partnership for Public Service. The annual gala known as the Service to America Medals honors feds who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
The FOIA backlog is growing. Agencies received more than 640,000 Freedom of Information Act requests last year, an 8 percent increase from the year before. And the backlog grew to more than 83,000 pending requests even though the government added more staff and spent an extra $20 million on FOIA activities. But it still couldn't keep up. The Department of Homeland Security had the biggest number of overdue requests. The Justice Department has released the latest figures in its summary of annual FOIA reports.
A few items from the DorobekINSIDER water-cooler fodder
How Facebook drove voters to the polls: New research reveals that by allowing users to indicate whether they voted or not, Facebook likely drove an additional 340,000 voters in the U.S. to polls on election day in 2010. Technology Review quotes James Fowler, a political scientist at University of California, San Diego: "Seeing the faces of friends accounted for all this effect on voting. And it affected not only people who saw them, but friends, and friends of friends."
NASA may have put a nuclear-powered robot on Mars. But two other rovers are taking home the prize. The team behind older Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity has earned a Haley Space Flight Award. The team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., joins the likes of John Glenn, the first man to orbit the Earth, in receiving the award. The solar-powered Spirit and Opportunity have been on Mars for almost nine years. Opportunity is still at work, exploring rocks in search of clay, which could provide new information about a formerly wet environment.The small rovers pale in size when compared to their newest cousin, Curiosity. It landed on the red planet last month and is the size of a car.

How Interpretation Makes International Law
On Semantic Change and Normative Twists
Ingo Venzke
Applies theoretical developments in linguistics and philosophy to give an innovative perspective on the role of language in shaping international law
Provides a framework for normative assessment that challenges traditional understandings of how international law is made
Demonstrates how the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the Appellate Body of the WTO have shaped and developed their constituent instruments through their interpretative discourses
Argues that treaties and other sources of international law form only the starting point of legal authority
Challenging the classic narrative that sovereign states make the law that constrains them, this book argues that treaties and other sources of international law form only the starting point of legal authority. Interpretation can shift the meaning of texts and, in its own way, make law. In the practice of interpretation actors debate the meaning of the written and customary laws, and so contribute to the making of new law. In such cases it is the actor's semantic authority that is key - the capacity for their interpretation to be accepted and become established as new reference points for legal discourse. The book identifies the practice of interpretation as a significant space for international lawmaking, using the key examples of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the Appellate Body of the WTO to show how international institutions are able to shape and develop their constituent instruments by adding layers of interpretation, and moving the terms of discourse.
The book applies developments in linguistics to the practice of international legal interpretation, building on semantic pragmatism to overcome traditional explanations of lawmaking and to offer a fresh account of how the practice of interpretation makes international law. It discusses the normative implications that arise from viewing interpretation in this light, and the implications that the importance of semantic changes has for understanding the development of international law. The book tests the potential of international law and its doctrine to respond to semantic change, and ultimately ponders how semantic authority can be justified democratically in the normative pluriverse of sovereign legal systems.

Wife of Ondo state Governor, Chief Mrs Betty Anyanwu Akeredolu, addressing participants during a one – day Summit organized by the National Council of Women's Societies, (NCWS), Tagged "Alert Tips for Women in Security prone areas during election", held at Babafunke Ajasin Auditorium, Igbatoro road, Akure.
Wife of Ondo State Governor, Arabinrin Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has urged women to increase their representation at decision making table by seeking elective positions, saying this is the only way they can avoid being short changed or turned down in the society.
Addressing participants at a one – day Summit organized by the National Council of Women's Societies (NCWS), Ondo State Chapter with the theme, "alert tips for women in security prone areas during election", held at the Babafunke Ajasin auditorium in Akure, Arabinrin said there is need for fair representation of women in Nigeria government and end to unrest attributed to Nigeria election, while imploring the women to comport themselves during the coming election.
The First Lady who maintained that women's vote should be channeled towards a better society, and bringing good governance to the doorstep of the people, encouraged them to contest for elective positions in order to have more impact at the policy making table of the government.
Mrs. Akeredolu lamented the poor participation of women in Nigeria politics, stressing that there have been clamour for robust and better representation of women at all level of government.
She urged women to disdain misconceptions about women in politics and called for strategic solution to better women participation in government.
The first lady of Ondo state also used the opportunity to carry out voters education to keep the women well-informed so they can effectively exercise their voting rights and express their political will on election day.

Speaking earlier, the State President of the Council, Pastor (Mrs.) Jumoke Aborode, urged women to exercise their civic responsibility during the election without inciting violence or acts capable of bringing untold hardship to the society.
She implored them to advice their husbands and children on the need to embrace peace, discourage vote buying and acts capable jeopardising peace and harmony before and after the elections.
Mrs. Aborode said from history, during election periods, women are always at the receiving end of election violence in different forms and the Summit is therefore to educate them on risk in security prone areas during election and the safety needs they must adhere to.
Also advising the various women groups on safety tips during election were the commissioner for police, Ondo state, Mr. Gbenga Adeyanju, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Ondo State Commandant, Mr. Pedro Awili and INEC officials.

I've always wanted a VW Van to call my own...How fun would it be to re-do the inside of one!!!
I would need a camper or RV of some sort to finally fulfill my dream of traveling around the country, pugs and husband in tow! How cute is this one?!?!
I'm pretty sure if we won the lotto Little Olive would ask for a friend...& I wouldn't mind having another one either.
In other news, I just got my hair trimmed...it feels so much better!! We're one day closer to the weekend! Yay!
Your hair is sooo cute! Love it.
My husband and I realllyy like tiny houses.
One time we looked at some of these shed things that basically looked like small houses and talked about how cute it would be to turn one into a real livable house.
And there are some people in his hometown that have miniature houses of their real houses.


While later Mauna-Loa's were made of solid Nyssa, this early and rare "Mouna"(see the fun history part at the end!) example appears to be made of all-solid Koa (you can tell by the stylized figuring and curl, whereas Nyssa is more of a straight grain). My research says that this could have been made as early as 1915, but I cannot confirm when the names were swapped, though since there is no stamp on the headstock or embossed "Mauna" logo, I would say it was pre-1922.
Bakelite tuning pegs in excellent condition.
Major wear on neck and fingerboard, as well as on upper and lower bout.
Top separation at lower bout from body.
Bridge is unattached but included and in great shape.
Includes ORIGINAL case which needs some leather work but otherwise in great condition.
Once put back together, this 95+ year old solid hardwood instrument will be one of the most beautiful sounding ukes on the block.
This is a used instrument with cosmetic bumps but in good overall structural condition. Please refer to photos for details.

Musk can use whistleblower claims, but judge won't delay Twitter trial
An image of Elon Musk is seen on a smartphone placed on printed Twitter logos in this picture illustration taken on Apr 28, 2022. (File photo: Reuters/Dado Ruvic)
07 Sep 2022 09:38PM (Updated: 07 Sep 2022 10:19PM)
WILMINGTON, Delaware: A Delaware judge granted on Wednesday (Sep 7) Elon Musk's request to add whistleblower claims to his Twitter countersuit but denied the billionaire's request to delay the trial over Musk's bid to walk away from his US$44 billion deal for the company, according to a court order.
"I am convinced that even four weeks' delay would risk further harm to Twitter", wrote Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick of Delaware's Court of Chancery.
Musk's legal team argued in court on Tuesday that justice demanded delaying the five-day trial, currently scheduled to begin Oct 17, so he could investigate allegations that Twitter had misrepresented its data security.
Last month, whistleblower allegations became public that provided Musk, the world's richest person, fresh ammunition to bolster what legal experts said was a long-shot attempt to walk away from the deal without paying a US$1 billion termination fee.
Twitter's former head of security, Peiter Zatko, a famed hacker known as Mudge said in a complaint to regulators that the company falsely represented that it had a solid data security plan.
Twitter has sued Musk to hold him to his April agreement to buy the company for US$54.20 per share.

Prayer Pause
Lesson Outlines
Vibrant Single Women in Scripture
Plenty of women in scripture left legacies that don't revolve around marital or reproductive status. And yet the cult mentality around marriage and "traditional" roles within it persists within the church. How many sermons have you heard in praise of singleness as a blessing equal to marriage? My guess is if you've heard any, you can count them on one hand. Single women especially endure reinforced stigma and societal pressure both within and outside their faith communities. But where does the bible justify this? Spoiler alert: it doesn't. Single women have led vibrant and powerful lives for God throughout history, and scripture takes special care memorializing their examples for our benefit. These diverse women of the bible, and many more, illustrate single lives masterfully lived and worthy of celebration.
Dorcas – Fashion Designing Philanthropist
Dorcas, a.k.a. Tabitha, was a powerhouse of quiet purpose. Products of her divine flair for fashion and extraordinary sewing skills decorated the runways of her hometown, Joppa. With no family of her own to care for, she adopted the widows and needy of her community, outfitting them with colorful garments stitched by her own loving hands. Deeply grieved by her death, Joppa's citizens reached out to the apostle Peter and he, through the favor of God, raised her back to life (Acts 9: 36-43)! The miracle of Dorcas' resurrection rippled throughout the ancient world and inspired many to believe in the Lord she served so faithfully through her countless acts of charity.
Lydia – Business Mogul
Lydia was a Fortune 500 CEO of her day. She had it all: a spacious home, servants, a thriving cloth-dying business in an exciting city, a spotless reputation, and sharp savvy to balance it all. And yet she knew none of it mattered without faith. When the apostle Paul visited town, Lydia headed up the line for baptism (Acts 16:12-15, 40). From then on, she offered her business and home to serve as an evangelism H.Q. Some of the earliest church members met in her dining room, and her property provided a safehouse for Paul and Silas during their missionary work (Philippians 1:1-10). For Lydia, faith and business weren't mutually exclusive, but mutually beneficial. Her influence helped shape the church as we recognize it today.
Miriam – Social Justice Activist
Miriam's feistiness, bravery, and stout convictions shone from the get-go. As a child she not only aided her mother in an act of subterfuge to save baby brother Moses from government-ordered execution, she walked right up to the tyrannical party's princess and got her mom hired as Moses' nanny (Exodus 2:1-10)! In a time of extreme cultural tension, Miriam's faith in God's deliverance of the Hebrews inspired her people to hope beyond their circumstances. Through Miriam, God moved his long-oppressed people to worship again (Exodus 15:20-21). She served as political and religious counselor to Moses and her other brother, High Priest Aaron, for many years. Though she eventually married, Miriam's passion for justice coupled with willingness to follow through in action continued playing a crucial part in God's plan for restoring the nation of Israel to its rightful place (Numbers 12:1-15).
Martha – Homemaker and Hospitality Expert
Were Martha alive today she'd be running a five-star bed and breakfast complete with gourmet pillow mints and name brand shampoo in the bathrooms. The social hub of Bethany Village revolved smack dab in the middle of Martha's living room, so her pantry was always stocked and the guest rooms spick-and-span, ready to host anyone needing a moment's refreshment (John 11:17-28). Jesus himself lauded Martha for her ministering to his heart by providing accommodation for his needs and those of his disciples (Luke 10:38-41). We find him returning to Martha's house every chance he got, but it wasn't for the fluffy white towels or continental breakfast. Martha's hospitable spirit vitalized him most. She didn't stop at opening her home to others; she opened her heart for them to experience the peace of God.
Anna – Prophetess
Widowed young after only seven years of marriage, Anna accepted a position as God's personal assistant. For the next 84 years of her life, this tenderhearted woman took her post in the temple, receiving and delivering messages between the Father and his people. As God's intimate confidant, she constantly prayed with thanksgiving for the needs of fellow worshippers around her and offered Israel hope as she foretold the coming of the awaited Messiah. After nearly a century of serving as God's secretary, preparing the way for Jesus through prayer and a lifetime of worship, Anna finally received the memo she'd been waiting for: the Savior has arrived! As Mary and Joseph walked into the temple where she had devoted her life, Anna gazed into the face of baby Jesus, and her songs of praise echoed louder than ever before (Luke 2:36-38). Her spiritual leadership provided the downtrodden people of Israel hope and encouragement until Christ's arrival.
Where would we as a Church be without the heritage of these vibrant and varied women? How would scripture, and by extension our faith, be different had they not lived their convictions boldly? Single women are as valuable now as they were in ancient days. They are no less for serving outside the context of marriage and nuclear family. Let's celebrate the single women in our lives and empower them in leaving their own legacies of faith for generations to come.
How will you show thanks for the single women in your life this week?

Pope's World Day of Peace message focuses on "culture of care"
Francis offers the Church's social doctrine as a "compass" to foster peace
(Photo: Pixabay)
By La Croix International staff | Vatican City
Pope Francis in his message for the Catholic Church's World Day of Peace called on the international community and every individual to foster a "culture of care" by advancing on the "path of fraternity, justice and peace between individuals, communities, peoples and nations."
The Vatican on Thursday issued the pope's message for the 54th World Day of Peace, held 1 January 2021. That message stressed that "There can be no peace without a culture of care."
The pope calls for "a common, supportive and inclusive commitment to protecting and promoting the dignity and good of all, a willingness to show care and compassion, to work for reconciliation and healing, and to advance mutual respect and acceptance."
He offers the principles of the Church's social doctrine as a compass to foster peace.
Pope Francis begins his message about the "massive COVID-19 health crisis" and asks political leaders and the private sector to spare no effort to ensure access to vaccines and to the essential technologies needed to care for the sick, the poor and those who are most vulnerable.
The pope also talks of various forms of nationalism, racism and xenophobia, and wars and conflicts that bring only death and destruction. These and other events of 2020, he says, have underscored the importance of caring for one another and for creation in our efforts to build a more fraternal society.
Hence, "A Culture of Care as a Path to Peace" is a "way to combat the culture of indifference, waste and confrontation so prevalent in our time," he said.
"A Culture of Care as a Path to Peace" is the theme of the pope's message, addressed to heads of state and government, leaders of international organizations, spiritual leaders and followers of the different religions, and to men and women of good will.
This culture of care of the Church, enriched by the reflection of the Fathers and the charity of many witnesses to the faith, became the "beating heart of the Church's social doctrine" Pope Francis said. This can serve as a "grammar' of care: commitment to promoting the dignity of each human person, solidarity with the poor and vulnerable, the pursuit of the common good and concern for the protection of creation."
Pope St. Paul VI established World Day of Peace by in 1967 and it was first observed on 1 January 1968. That day, the Church also celebrates the solemn feast of Mary, Mother of God.

Virtual Private Servers-X8 Linux with 2000GB data transfer.
X4 Linux Virtual Private Servers is with Unlimited Hosted Domains on very discounted price.
There are quite a lot of choices in terms of the type of hosting. In fact, even if you are sure about which type of hosting you want for your website there are further two to three plans. That can be confusing but it does not have to if your needs are clear.
For starters, shared Linux web hosting plans are the best. Shared hosting at IX Web Hosting is one of the best as you get dedicated IPs. You will not find many shared hosting plans with this great feature.
If you have a high traffic website, go for the VPS hosting plan. That gives you more control and possibility to scale. If you are starting a blog, their WordPress hosting plan is the best option for you. You can find detailed WordPress support to help you get your blog started.
The good thing about IX Web Hosting is that all the plans have once click e-commerce applications that you can use to create your very own web store on your website. Also, other important things like SSL certifications can be added on top of your current plan.
Applying a coupon code when buying a plan on IX Web Hosting is very simple. In most instances, you will not even have to enter a code. The coupon may be activated just by clicking and heading to the website. You can then sign up for the plan of your choice.
If you need the coupon code to be entered manually, you can click 'Buy Now' on the plan of your choice. You will be directed to a form to provide details. Just fill in the preliminary details and select the plan/billing cycle. When you continue to the payment page, you may enter your code to redeem the discount.
How often are coupon codes released for IX Web Hosting Plans?
Coupons and promotions are frequently released for IX Web Hosting Plans as they get hundreds of new customers every month. You may be able to redeem a code that was issued a few weeks back although they get used pretty quickly. But do not worry, if you see a coupon code here it is valid and can be used.
What billing cycle options do I have at IX Web Hosting?
Like many other hosting platforms, IX Web Hosting offers its customers the flexibility to choose 1 year, 2 years or 3 years plan subscriptions. You can even sign up for a month or few months but will be charged a setup fee.
The flexibility allows customers to use the hosting for a year at least and not be bound. After a year, you can renew your plan or transfer your website if you wish.
However, one great advantage of signing up for the three-year billing cycle is that if you are using a discount code you will save more. For example, if you are saving $10 every month on your plan you save $120 if signing up for one year and $360 if signing up for whole three years.
Are coupons only applicable for the first term?
Yes, the coupon code you redeemed when creating or moving your website to IX Web Hosting is only applied to the first term of the billing cycle. Your card will be charged for the whole amount of the first cycle minus the discount. When it comes to renewing the cycle, the actual monthly rate of the plan will be charged for the next billing cycle.
In some case, you may be able to apply a coupon code for renewal of your plan. These codes can usually be used with any plan renewal.

All the plans at IX Web Hosting include dedicated IPs. Even the biggest hosting companies do not offer that and that makes them quite exclusive. Having a dedicated IP can be great for a website especially the one with high traffic.
Dedicated IPs can also be beneficial from the point of view of security and SEO. The latter case makes all of their plans very enticing for businesses in highly competitive industries. If you want to view the website by the IP address or access through FTP, then too it is valuable to have dedicated IPs.

You would think that if they offer a free trial, there would not be any money-back guarantee. There still is a 30-day money-back guarantee on all plans. Even if your card is charged, you still have 23 days to make up your mind.
IX Web Hosting offers its plans at special discount through discount codes. Whatever plan you want to sign up for, there are chances you can sign up using a coupon and save money for the entire term you select.
Coupons may be applicable to a particular type of web hosting plan e.g. VPS Hosting.

You can save a percentage of the amount or certain amount (like $10 off) from your total bill for the cycle you signed up for.

Esther Stocker focuses on spatial abstraction and architecture that pulls viewers into a different dimension. Black-and-white geometrical landscapes are created through multiplication of simple shapes and forms, horizontal as well as vertical lines. She creates rhythmical patterns that underline the unyielding character of her works. Repetition of basic elements, shifting of the horizon and playing with the perspective creates the depth as well as volume of the space.
Her installations represent a direct continuation of abstract paintings and solitaire sculptures that she develops and decomposes within the space and consequently also applies in architecture as well as the public space. She highlights playfulness, and stimulates the viewer to complement the dynamics and determine the depth of the installation itself by his or her own presence or movement. Thus she defines the "finite" of the given space.
"I try to find things I was not looking for and there is solid truth in geometry. My paintings and installations focus on reduced geometrical structures and their ability to change. In this context I am interested in the contrasting poles of change: that it can lead to either development or collapse", the artist explains her work.
The rigid organisation of individual elements creates a certain mathematical schematics, precision, and order. Strong visuality and playing with optical illusion often make the viewers to define their own way of perception: focusing on a fragment of the geometrical landscape, or vice versa, perceiving space as an undefined whole. The presence of the viewer transforms the gallery into a podium, a playground, opening up new possibilities for perception and behaviour. The installation acts as a system of coordinates in which people represent the elements that determine and code them.
The author uses abstraction as her main medium whereby she formulates her own critical stance vis-a-vis the world, namely by respecting the arrangement of its individual structures. "Our society is governed by all sorts of systems and structures that organise and steer life. No system, however, whether political, judicial, economical, socio-cultural or spatial, can comprise life in its entirety. Every system has gaps, leaks and ambiguities", Stocker says.
The "grid", a characteristic feature of her work, visible only partially, incites imagination. It raises questions regarding the borderline between chaos and order, sets reality against fiction, foreground against background, accuracy against volatility or clarity of meaning against ambiguity. All kinds of planned incompleteness or errors in her illusive works are eventually completed by our assumptions about the world, as if we ourselves were becoming part of some test.
A small formal deviation of a line within the grid can cause disorientation. The disorientation that is not only visual, but also cognitive: the known can no longer be deciphered; the feeling of certainty disappears. Even though we do not know it, we assume that it has a certain form and we expect that this form is going to behave in a predictable way.
"I am personally fascinated by the way we recognize these expectations only when they are not accomplished. Most of all I am fascinated by formal paradoxes, the logic of contradiction. The fact that the structure can be orderly and disordered at the same time, and the exactness of geometry becomes vague sometimes", the artist explains.

We all got up from tea in the hall, made our way to the drawing-room, and thence into the morning-room, which opened out of it. There was plenty of daylight still. James came in after us, and went straight up to a framed panel portrait which stood with others on a small table in a remote corner. It showed a tall handsome, clean-shaved man of three or four and thirty, of fine physique, seated astride a chair, his arms folded across the back of the chair as he faced the camera.

Make Your Walls Pop with this CanvasPop Giveaway!
CanvasPop reached out a few weeks ago asking if I would be interested in reviewing one of their awesome printed canvas and also host a giveaway for St. Louis Dad's readers to have a chance to win their own CanvasPop printed canvas. How cool is that!!! Read through my review to learn how you can enter to win!
So the canvas that I had printed arrived the other day and it looks fantastic. The size was 16×24 and was much larger than I expected. The printing was done from a photo taken while we were on vacation down in Arkansas. It's of my daughter Abby and her PawPaw, my awesome father-in-law. The picture wasn't posed or anything like that, it was one of those "say cheese" moments and we captured it perfectly. My wife edited the original photo to be black and white and with how it turned out I just knew that this was the picture that needed to be on our wall.
My daughter can be really shy at times. She loves her Mammaw and PawPaw a lot but she can get a little silly when it comes to giving hugs and kisses to them. She may turn her head and be all shy about it. The fact that this picture shows off her smile with her PawPaw really makes this print very special to me. It makes me so happy to see the joy in my father-in-law's face when his grandchildren are around. So instead of keeping this awesome CanvasPop for myself, I gave it to him. He was impressed with how great it looked and already had plans for hanging it with some other family photos. It will look great hanging on his and Mammaw's wall, and it will put a smile on my face whenever I see it hanging over there.
It's so cool that CanvasPop can take a photo you took and turn it into an amazing canvas print. I was a little worried that the quality might be lost when printed but it is just as clear on canvas as it is on the computer screen. The canvas was packaged nicely and had a really cute sticker on the box saying that it was Made With Love. Which I am sure is the case, and I wish I could save the sticker, it's just so cool (I'm weird and like to collect stickers). To compare to say Walgreen's same day poster pickup would be a travesty. This canvas print is significantly higher quality than a Walgreen's print. If you're going to get a picture printed, go all out and go for one of CanvasPop's awesome offerings.
Now, how about that giveaway? All I need you to do is visit this link or click the image below to see how you can enter to win. There are even more ways to enter by following St. Louis Dad and CanvasPop on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Just click and enter! The contest starts now (November 13th) and will end next Friday, November 20th at midnight!
