I had nothing to hide. No reprehensible behavior I was struggling with, no glaring character defects. In fact, I was feeling pretty self-righteous. Doug Self, with whom I've been meeting weekly since 1976, and I were sitting comfortably in front of the fireplace at the Redstone Inn, enjoying our early cup of coffee as usual. We filled each other in on our week's events as usual. We enjoyed the peaceful ambiance as usual.
Then out of the blue, Doug said, "Louis, I have something for you from the Lord."
Doug proceeded to point out some ungodly attitudes in me that he'd been noticing. He had been hearing me be critical and unloving.
I knew what he was referring to. Frankly, I wasn't interested in re-evaluating my position or changing it.
The encounter reminded me why I need accountability-and why I resist it. I find accountability difficult for at least four reasons.

Defending champion Australia have won its first three matches at the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup but all-rounder Ellyse Perry says they are solely focussed on taking each game as it comes.
Pakistan is next up for Australia in Leicester tomorrow after the defending champion comfortably beat New Zealand by five wickets.
Perry smashed 71 runs in an impressive performance but says the team is not getting ahead of itself.
Ahead of the match, Perry said: "Pakistan will be a great challenge. The way this tournament and format is set up, we don't have an easy game.
"It's really nice to win and be positive but we will refocus on each match. We haven't really spoken about any other match apart from the one ahead of us. Every match is a bit of a challenge. We've seen teams knock one another off with it being a bit unexpected."
"Going into this tournament, I think that was a reality because of this format and the way the game has developed in the last four years. For us, we would just like to keep building and hopefully improving with each match. That's really the key. If those things go well then towards the end of the tournament you should be in a really good place but there's a bit of cricket to play before then," she added.
Six-time champion Australia are tied with India at six points from three games each but placed second owing to India's better net run-rate while Pakistan is still looking for its first points after doing well in patches against South Africa and India.
Pakistan impressed in the bowling department against India with Nashra Sundhu taking an impressive four for 26.
But they were massively let down in the batting department with Sana Mir (29) and Bibi Nahida (23) the only players to reach double figures as it was bowled out for just 74.
Bowler Diana Baig though is looking at the positives ahead of its crunch game with Australia.
The bowler said: "We're trying to prepare for the next matches and we're positive for the Australia match that we will do something.
"It's an amazing feeling to play against Australia, but it's just a team. I want to play against the next team. Our fielding and bowling we were 100 per cent but we didn't click in our batting (against India) but we will bounce back in our next match," she added.
Pakistan: Sana Mir (captain), Asmavia Iqbal, Ayesha Zafar, Diana Baig, Ghulam Fatima, Iram Javed, Javeria Wadood, Kainat Imtiaz, Marina Iqbal, Bibi Nahida, Nain Abidi, Nashra Sundhu, Sadia Yousaf, Sidra Nawaz and Waheeda Akhter.


Rings are definitely our most popular category.
The trend for midi rings also called first knuckle rings has made our mini triangle ring a best seller, check out also our dainty confetti rings and our Celeste rings for ideal stackable rings options. You can order them as a ring set featuring different colors, they look really cool together. If you like geometric rings, don't miss our double chevron ring and Celeste ring, they are hand crafted in sterling silver to give you the best quality and durability possible.
Another favorite is our Sun and Moon ring, this is an adjustable open ring and do not mistake it for a belly button ring: it is to be worn as a finger ring! Our jewelry is colorful so pick your favorite enamel shade and we will hand decorate it just for you. We noticed that many of you have a thing for mint rings so you will find this color option in all our enameled rings!
We also offer a large array of precious stones like diamonds, emeralds, rubies or sapphires as well as our newly introduced favorite Australian gemstone, the opal. The stones are available in our Sun and Moon rings and in our Celeste rings but don't forget that we also do custom jewelry so feel free to contact us for one of a kind personalized jewelry. We can create together your dream unique engagement ring, anniversary ring or new mom ring. You can choose the birthstone of the month the baby was born to create a memorable gift that she will wear and cherish forever.
Rings can be tricky to pick in the right size so to help you find the perfect one we created a little video and there is also a website you can use if you already own a ring in the good size and let it help you determine the size of the new one.

Dancers from various tribes will perform in traditional regalia at Ku-Ah-Mah's annual powwow Friday and Saturday. The event is open to the public free of charge. The first grand entry will be at 7 p.m. Friday in Beasley Coliseum.
The WSU Native American Student Organization, Ku-Ah-Mah, is hosting its 42nd annual Pah-Loots-Puu powwow on Friday and Saturday at Beasley Coliseum, which is open to students and the public free of charge.
The powwow will feature music and various traditional dances, performed by different tribes and age groups. Handmade Native American crafts and jewelry will be available for purchase. The event will also have a frybread stand and concession booth at Beasley, said Jacklyn Brendible, co-chair of Ku-Ah-Mah.
The event begins at 7 p.m. Friday with a grand entrance when all dancers enter and perform at the same time, Hill said. There are also grand entries at noon and 6 p.m. Saturday.
"That's when you can see all the dancers at once, so that would be the best time to come," Hill said.
There are dances that crowd members can participate in, Price said.
In addition to the dance and musical performances, Ku-Ah-Mah will host multiple vendors on the concourse in Beasley. Jewelry, brass, paintings and other homemade products will be exhibited and available for purchase.
Students in Ku-Ah-Mah have worked since last school year to plan the powwow. Last year was the first year in decades it hasn't occurred, Brendible said.
Tribes from around the region are traveling to participate in the powwow. President Kirk Schulz and many local tribes have donated money or items for the event, Brendible said.
The event is open to the public and people of all backgrounds are welcome.
Students are encouraged to attend the celebration to see the culmination of Ku-Ah-Mah's work.


The following examples show the points you would score in a theoretical Premier League game between Man City and West Brom. The bonuses would depend on what other people predicted - but most people would normally predict a Man City win. Notice how the number of bonus points you score rises if your Premier League predictions are less likely.
In a normal month, the top 270 predictors in each division will be promoted to the next division, and the bottom 270 will be relegated.
Each trophy is worth "trophy points" in order to calculate the "trophy standings". Finishing top of the division is worth 10 points, down to finishing 10th which is worth 1 point. Points for trophies in the Premier League and the Season Standings tables are doubled - so first place is worth 20 points and 10th place is worth 2.
You can issue or accept challenges from other Predict the Premier League users, in which your predictions are directly compared for a selection of fixtures during a week. The fixtures that actually count are chosen by the challenger.


We may be off the beaten path (between Chiefland and Bronson about a mile off Highway Alt 27 on CR134) but we're worth the effort. Our Museum has things from the past as well as some interesting old quilts. We have many quilts for sale - some were hand quilted, some machine quilted and some hand tied. All of our craft items were made by local residents.
Please take some time to browse our web site which will tell our history and show off our Museum. Many of the items in the Museum were donated by friends of the Museum over the years. We are a not for profit organization. We do not charge any admission fees and we have plenty of free parking. Please read more about us on the History page.

Comanagement: Who's in Charge?
Hugo Q. Cheng, MD; June 2012
Following surgery for hip fracture, an elderly man with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease developed worsening shortness of breath. At this hospital, the orthopedic surgery service has hospitalists comanage its patients. Inadequate communication between the services led to a delay in diagnosing the patient with pneumonia and initiating treatment.
Transfer Troubles
Isla M. Hains, PhD; June 2012
An elderly woman was transferred to a tertiary hospital for surgical repair of hip fracture, without complete information or records. The receiving surgeons were not informed that she had a cardiac arrest during induction of anesthesia at the community hospital. Surgery proceeded, but the patient died a few days later.
Double Dose at Transfer
Jeffrey L. Hackman, MD; May 2012
Diagnosed with cellulitis, an elderly man was admitted to the hospital after receiving the first dose of vancomycin in the ED. Just 3 hours later, a floor nurse noted the admission order for vancomycin every 12 hours and administered another dose.
The Perils of Cross Coverage
Jeanne M. Farnan, MD, MHPE; and Vineet M. Arora, MD, MAPP; May 2012
Inadequate signout to the members of the night float team prevented them from appreciating a patient's mental status changes. Found comatose by the weekend cross-coverage team, the patient had a prolonged ICU stay.
Postdischarge Follow-Up Phone Call
Michelle Mourad, MD, and Stephanie Rennke, MD; March 2012
A woman hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia was discharged home on antibiotics. Over the next few days, her symptoms worsened, but she was unable to obtain an appointment with her primary physician. The hospital called the patient that day to follow up, determined that she needed a different antibiotic, and prevented a readmission.
Amended Lab Results: Communication Slip
Vanitha Janakiraman Mohta, MD; February 2012
A pregnant woman with new onset hypertension and proteinuria was admitted to the hospital for further testing. Test results for a 24-hour urine collection were initially reported as normal in the electronic medical record, and discharge planning was begun. However, a later amended report showed the results were elevated and abnormal, confirming a diagnosis of preeclampsia.
Insert Omission
Philip Darney, MD, MSc; April 2006
A woman has an intrauterine contraceptive device placed at the time of "her period." A month later it is discovered that she is pregnant, as she had been at the time of the insertion.
Medication Mix-Up: From Bad to Worse
Amanda Wollitz, PharmD, and Michael O'Connor, PharmD, MS; March 2015
Admitted to the hospital with chest pain, headache, and accelerated hypertension, an older man with a history of chronic kidney disease and essential hypertension who had missed several days of his regular medications was to be started back on them gradually. One of his antihypertensive medications (minoxidil) was ordered via the EHR, but a vasopressor/antihypotensive medication with a similar name (midodrine) was dispensed. Fortunately, a nurse noticed the discrepancy before administration.
Medical Devices in the "Wild"
Ayse P. Gurses, PhD, and Peter Doyle, PhD; December 2014
An elderly man was being prepared for discharge after being hospitalized for an exacerbation of congestive heart failure. His nurse failed to notice that the tubing of the patient's sequential compression devices (in place to prevent DVT) was caught on the bed wheel and had unlocked the bed when she raised it. When the patient attempted to get up later, the bed rolled out from under him and he fell, breaking his hip. One week after surgery, the patient experienced a cardiac arrest from a massive pulmonary embolism and died.
Benefits vs. Risks of Intraosseous Vascular Access
Raymond L. Fowler, MD, and Melanie J. Lippmann, MD; July-August 2014
During a code blue, an intraosseous line was placed in the left tibia of an elderly woman after several unsuccessful attempts to obtain peripheral venous access. Following chest compressions and advanced cardiovascular life support protocol, spontaneous circulation returned and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit. A few hours later, the left leg was dusky purple with sluggish distal pulses.
CVC Removal: A Procedure Like Any Other
Michelle Feil, MSN, RN; June 2014
Following removal of a central venous catheter placed during his admission for a prolonged course of intravenous antibiotics, a young man with a history of Behçet disease was discharged from the hospital. Shortly thereafter, he presented to the emergency department with acute onset shortness of breath and a "whistling sound" coming from his neck. Diagnosed with air embolism, he was admitted to the ICU.
May I Have Another?—Medication Error
Michael Wolf, PhD, MPH; June 2014
A man admitted to the hospital for his first seizure was found to have been taking up to 10 tablets of 10 mg zolpidem per night (an unsafe dose) to fall asleep and had recently run out. The instructions on the medication label had stated: "If ineffective, take another."
Wandering Off the Floors: Safety and Security Risks of Patient Wandering
Thomas A. Smith, CHPA, CPP; June 2014
Hospitalized for alcohol withdrawal, an elderly man was feeling "cooped up" by hospital day 6 and left the floor without informing any providers. An hour later upon return to his room, he complained of new arm pain. While off hospital grounds, the patient had fallen and broken his arm.
Discontinued Medications: Are They Really Discontinued?
Celina Garza Mankey, MD, and Prathibha Varkey, MD, MPH, MBA; May 2014
An elderly man on warfarin and aspirin for chronic atrial fibrillation and previous cerebrovascular accident presented to the emergency department with a severe headache. Found to have bilateral subdural hematomas and a supratherapeutic INR (4.9), he was admitted to the ICU. Even though the patient was discharged with his warfarin discontinued permanently, the outpatient pharmacy kept it on the active medication list and refilled his mail order prescription automatically, leading again to an elevated INR.
Clostridium Difficile Relapse Secondary to Medication Access Issue
Paul C. Walker, PharmD, and Jerod Nagel, PharmD; April 2014
Following a hospitalization for Clostridium Difficile–associated diarrhea, a woman with HIV/AIDS and B-cell lymphoma was discharged with a prescription for a 14-day course of oral vancomycin solution. At her regular retail pharmacy, she was unable to obtain the medicine, and while awaiting coverage approval, she received no treatment. Her symptoms soon returned, prompting an emergency department visit where she was diagnosed with toxic megacolon.
Multifactorial Medication Mishap
Annie Yang, PharmD, BCPS; February 2014
Despite multiple checks by physician, pharmacist, and nurse during the medication ordering, dispensing, and administration processes, a patient received a 10-fold overdose of an opioid medication and a code blue was called.
New Oral Anticoagulants
Margaret C. Fang, MD, MPH; December 2013
Two days after knee replacement surgery, a woman with a history of deep venous thrombosis receiving pain control via epidural catheter was restarted on her outpatient dose of rivaroxaban (a newer oral anticoagulant). Although the pain service fellow scanned the medication list for traditional anticoagulants, he did not notice the patient was taking rivaroxaban before removing the epidural catheter, placing the patient at very high risk for bleeding.
Are You Mrs. A? An Issue of Identification Over Telephone
Jason S. Adelman, MD, MS; October 2013
After a hospitalized patient died, the intern went to fill out the death certificate and notify the family. However, he picked up the chart of a different patient and mistakenly notified another patient's wife that her husband had died. He soon realized he'd notified the wrong family.
Finding Fault With the Default Alert
Melissa Baysari, PhD; October 2013
An epilepsy patient's discharge plan included phenytoin to be taken once daily. The prescribing physician was somewhat unfamiliar with the electronic medical record (EMR), didn't notice that the default frequency for phenytoin was "TID," and overrode the resultant computerized alert about the high dosage.
DRESSed for Failure
Erika Abramson, MD, MS, and Rainu Kaushal, MD, MPH; September 2013
After a new electronic health record was introduced without automatically transferring patients' allergy information to the corresponding fields, a woman was given an antibiotic she was allergic to, which resulted in her being admitted to the intensive care unit.

نبذة عن المؤلف (1971)
Charles Lincoln Van Doren was born in Manhattan, New York on February 12, 1926. During World War II, he served with the Army Air Forces. He received a bachelor's degree from St. John's College and a master's degree in mathematics from Columbia University in 1949. After studies at Cambridge University in England and the Sorbonne in Paris, he started teaching English at Columbia in 1955 and received a doctorate in literature there in 1959. From November 28, 1956 to March 11, 1957, he appeared on the NBC quiz show Twenty-One. He won a total of $129,000. He appeared on the cover of Time magazine and signed a $150,000 contract to appear on NBC shows for three years. As rumors and skepticism over TV quiz shows being fixed arose, he insisted that he had not taken part in any deceptions. However, on November 2, 1959, he told congressional investigators that the shows had all been fixed, that he had been given questions and answers in advance, and that he had been coached to make the performances more dramatic. He lost his job at Columbia, NBC canceled his contract, and he pleaded guilty to second-degree perjury and received a suspended sentence. He became an editor and a writer. He took a job with Encyclopaedia Britannica and eventually became a vice president in charge of the editorial department. He retired in 1982. He wrote several books including The Joy of Reading and A History of Knowledge. He died on April 9, 2019 at the age of 93.

Reports: Iran mulls suing Hollywood over 'Argo'
NASSER KARIMI
FILE --In this Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2012 file photo, director and actor Ben Affleck poses for photographers at the premiere of his film Argo in Washington, DC, USA. Iranian media reported on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 that authorities are planning to sue Hollywood over the Oscar-winning "Argo" because of the movie's allegedly "unrealistic portrayal" of the country. The decision on the lawsuit came after a group of Iranian cultural officials and movie critics screened the film in a closed audience in a Tehran theater late Monday. (AP Photo/Cliff Owen, File)
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran is planning to sue Hollywood over the Oscar-winning "Argo" because of the movie's allegedly "unrealistic portrayal" of the country, Iranian media reported Tuesday.
Several news outlets, including the pro-reform Shargh daily, said French lawyer Isabelle Coutant-Peyre is in Iran for talks with officials over how and where to file the lawsuit. She is also the lawyer for notorious Venezuelan-born terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, known as Carlos the Jackal.
Following the 1979 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days, but six embassy staffers were sheltered by the Canadian ambassador. Their escape, using a fake movie as a cover story, is recounted in "Argo."
After its Oscar win in February, Iranian officials dismissed "Argo" as pro-CIA, anti-Iran propaganda.
Though the movie isn't showing in any Iranian theaters, many Iranians have seen it on bootleg DVDs and it set off a spirited debate that exposed a generational divide. Iranians who took part in the 1979 Islamic Revolution picked apart the portrayals of Tehran at the time but those too young to recall the events were eager for a different view on what had happened.
The decision on the lawsuit came after a group of Iranian cultural officials and movie critics screened the film in a closed audience in a Tehran theater late Monday.
The gathering, titled "The Hoax of Hollywood," discussed various legal aspects of filing a lawsuit, media reports said, without providing details. It remains unclear what specific charges Iran could raise and what court Tehran could turn to if the action goes ahead.
Those at the meeting dismissed "Argo" as a "violation of international cultural norms." A statement issued after the gathering said that "awarding an anti-Iran movie is a propaganda attack against our nation and entire humanity."
The statement did not clarify how the movie was allegedly unrealistic, but officials have accused "Argo" of depicting Iranians as "too violent."
They have also said the movie's director did not refer to other documentaries on the embassy storming or discuss reasons for the crisis, which included simmering resentment against the United States for a CIA-aided counter-coup in 1953 that toppled democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh and restored the pro-Western monarchy in Iran.
This was not the first time Iran has claimed that Hollywood has pushed a distorted picture of the country.
In 2009, Iran demanded an apology from a team of visiting Hollywood actors and movie industry officials, including Annette Bening, saying films such as "300" and "The Wrestler" were "insulting" to Iranians.
In 2007, the hit American movie "300" angered Iranians who said the Greeks-versus-Persians action flick insults their ancient culture and provokes animosity against Iran.
The 1991 film "Not Without My Daughter" — the true story of an American women fleeing Iran with her young daughter, angered Iranians who accused it of casting Iranians as dirty, boorish and cruel, obsessed with Islam and misogynist attitudes toward women.
Iran's state-run film industry boycotted this year's Oscars in the wake of an Internet video clip made in the U.S. denigrating the Prophet Muhammad that set off protests across the Muslim world.
The affair wasn't related to "Argo."


A new study from the University of California, San Francisco has found that electrically stimulating an area of the brain called the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) results in significant mood improvements for patients suffering from moderate to severe depression.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) involves the surgical implantation of what is commonly referred to as a "brain pacemaker." This device is designed to electrically stimulate specific regions of the brain and is most prominently used as a treatment to reduce tremors associated with Parkinson's disease.
DBS has also been investigated as a way to mange severe cases of treatment-resistant depression, however, a large volume of research has so far delivered reasonably inconclusive results. Several studies into using DBS to treat depression have found only a mild difference between active and placebo subjects, and some researchers suspect prior work has failed due to targeting the wrong regions of the brain.
The new UCSF study set out to home in on the most effective region of the brain for DBS to target for depression by recruiting 25 patients with epilepsy. These patients were in line for surgery which would temporarily implant electrodes in the their brains to help surgeons accurately identify the specific brain tissue responsible for their seizures.
While these electrodes were temporarily present the researchers used the opportunity to identify correlations between mood and brain stimulation in different regions. A variety of brain regions were systemically delivered a mild electrical current while patients were simultaneously asked to report the effect on their mood.
Interestingly, in most cases the brain stimulation had virtually no effect on the subjects' mood. Stimulation of the amygdala, cingulate cortex, insula, and hippocampus generally produced no notable mood improvements, however, the researchers did reveal impressive mood-lifting results when the lateral region of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) was stimulated.
This specific brain region is a relatively new target in depression research. A study from earlier this year revealed the OFC to play a key role in the relationship between sleep disruption and depression. Prior research also found that stronger activity in this region of the brain could lead to low-self-esteem.
"The OFC has been called one of the least understood regions in the brain, but it is richly connected to various brain structures linked to mood, depression and decision making, making it very well positioned to coordinate activity between emotion and cognition," says Eddie Chang, senior author on the new study.
The researchers say that that just minutes of mild stimulation to the lateral OFC resulted in virtually immediate improvements to the mood of patients suffering from moderate to severe depression.
"Patients said things like 'Wow, I feel better,' 'I feel less anxious,' 'I feel calm, cool and collected,'" says Kristin Sellers, another researcher working on the project. "And just anecdotally, you could see the improvements in patients' body language. They smiled, they sat up straighter, they started to speak more quickly and naturally."
Of course, it's early days for the research with a great deal of work needing to be done to verify these results. It's unclear how long-lasting the mood improvements post-stimulation actually are, and it's also unclear whether less invasive methods, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, would be just as effective. After all, surgically implanting electrodes into a person's brain is not the most ideal way to treat depression, but at the very least this study delivers strong evidence adding to the hypothesis that depression and mood can be effectively modulated by directly influencing brain circuits.
The new study was published in the journal Current Biology.


Hunter Bailey, a revolutionary sales and marketing firm has built its success on fairness and transparency within its company culture. Here the business warns why other companies must commit to better communication with their workforces.
Hunter Bailey is a specialist direct marketing company that aim to provide rapid growth opportunities for clients, their brands and the sales representatives that work alongside them. The business work to provide the highest standard of customer service and professional brand representation with everyone they come across and are committed to achieving exceptional results.
Hunter Bailey pride themselves on their transparency to their clients and their workforce, and it has played a significant part in the firm's business, the company have a horizontal structure for hierarchy, everyone is on a level playing field and given the same opportunities to share their thoughts and are treated as equal.
Giving everyone the opportunity to share their views and feel like a valued member of the team has driven the company forward. Empowering the workforce to take control of their success, while allowing them to communicate ways in which the business as well as themselves to be able to move forward, is central to Hunter Bailey's continued success.
If a firm starts withholding crucial information from their workforce, it can be incredibly demotivating, regardless of whether the news is good or bad, according to a new study that suggests the quality and honesty of internal communication may be a crucial factor in engagement.
The study conducted by Warwick business school, participants were asked to play a game of 'dictator. It involved one participant trying to get the other to transfer them as much money as possible (either £5 or £10), although the person being given the money in the first instance would not be aware of how much they have been given.
Researchers drew parallels from the experiment to real workplaces, with managers tending to have access to information before their reports and are subsequently able to decide on whether to share or not many tend to choose the latter. Withholding information from staff often has clear detrimental effects on staff motivation. Its important for managers to hold meetings regularly, listen to groups and suggestion schemes for staff. As a result, employees will feel more a part of the businesses success, which will then lead to an increase motivation.
The study confirms Hunter Bailey's business model of communication and transparency as being vital to business success, as well as keeping their professionals happy, motivated and having trust in their ability and the company as a whole.

The wounds are not your own but the world's. Those pains are not yours but Mother Earth's
by mvennerPosted on April 29, 2021 May 2, 2021
Look at yourself as magicians, as healers, as lovers of humanity, as givers and sharers. From that perspective living becomes an art in itself. Then everything you do becomes magic!
Many thanks to Fr. Matthew Fox for sharing this today, April 29, 2021
More Wisdom from Artist-Shaman David Paladin
David Palladin often refers to himself as an "artist-shaman." He also shares his story with us, how as a teen-ager he joined the army to fight in the Second World War and was almost immediately captured and put—not in a GI camp but in a concentration camp. He was the only Native American there and was tortured mercilessly by the Nazis. For example, one Christmas day they nailed one of his feet to the floor and made him twirl for 24 hours.
"Buffalo Dreamer." Painting by Chad Ghosthorse.
When he was liberated, he weighed sixty-two pounds, was comatose and a paraplegic. They brought him back to Arizona and in two years he came out of his coma. His elders told him he had a choice: To spend the rest of his life in the VA hospital in a wheelchair; or to try healing in the ancient ways. He chose the latter. They threw him into an ice cold river. It worked. He could walk and subsequently made several pilgrimages on foot to Mexico.
Later in life, his elders taught him that all that pain he endured as a young man served as an initiation into becoming a shaman. What did he learn from that? He says:
Shamans know that those wounds are not theirs but the world's. Those pains are not theirs but Mother Earth's. You can gift the world as shaman because you're a wounded warrior. A wounded healer and a wounded warrior are one.
Instead of returning pain for pain, the warrior-shaman rises above his own dead body and says, 'I have died, too. Now let's dance. We're free. The spirit is ours because we have died. Now we are resurrected from the ashes.'
Portrait of David Paladin at his drawing board, by Charles R. Rushton. On DavidPaladin.org.
David used to say that he was sick and tired hearing white people say "I am not an artist." His opinion? If you can talk, you're an artist. So get over it. Says he:
If you're talking, you are being creative. You're taking concepts and changing them into words so that you can communicate with me. You're more creative than you think you are.
Many indigenous languages don't have the word "art" in them—all of life is making beauty and being creative.
In addition to being a painter, Paladin worked as a police chaplain. Often he had to deliver death notices to peoples' loved one or to work with people contemplating suicide. Standing in a stranger's doorway at 3AM to tell them their loved one was suddenly killed took as much creativity as painting a painting. He comments:
"Kahdam" by David Paladin: 22×30″, acrylic on handmade paper, 1982.
In that role I use a lot of creativity. I become an actor, because I try to sense what they need and fulfill it. This is the role of the artist, the shaman, the minister.
He encourages the rest of us to tap into our creativity when he says:
See David Paladin, Painting The Dream (Rochester, Vt. Park Street Press, 1992), p. 97.

Queries for Contemplation
Are you learning that your wounds are not yours but the world's? Not yours but Mother Earth's? What follows from that?
Creativity: Where the Divine and Human Meet
Because creativity is the key to both our genius and beauty as a species but also to our capacity for evil, we need to teach creativity and to teach ways of steering this God-like power in directions that promote love of life (biophilia) and not love of death (necrophilia). Pushing well beyond the bounds of conventional Christian doctrine, Fox's focus on creativity attempts nothing less than to shape a new ethic.

What kind of fish are those?
Flower thieves are again making life miserable for Carthage residents. Justice Garland's flower beds at his home on Howard street were robbed a short time ago, and he was in hopes they would pass him in the future. But not so. The pretty tulips and other flowers Mr. Garland takes so much pains with were too tempting to be let alone and last night everyone of them were stolen.
Maj. Harding of Clinton avenue was also a sufferer from these depredators. In Cassil Place, P. J. Lehnhardt's flowers were recently taken, and several others report losses from midnight prowlers. Severe measures are being planned to capture and punish these flower thieves, one gentleman saying he was contemplating torpedoes around his flower beds.
Mrs. D.C. Hamilton will arrive from Kansas City today for a visit at the home of her parents.

When I was growin' up most you'd hear different levels of complaince to ethics. There were those who were "too honest for their own good."
Then there were the ones ya didn't know 'bout for sure. They were "pretty honest folks, I suppose."
Next level was the ones that ya tell your friends, "ya gotta watch that one."
Course the worst was the fella that would "steal from his own mother, if he figured he'd get away with it."
But the other factor that was important was intent. If a lawn mower blew up the second time ya mowed, unless the neighbor ya bought it from knew it was junk, ya didn't blame him any. Sometimes that happens. But ya prob'ly wouldn't buy a pitch fork from that guy without thinkin' 'bout it first.
Why bother to take vitamins? What is the "right" way to eat? Our fast food society looks at a salad bar and that is our answer to all our nutritional needs. Our local drive thru establishments probably account for 30-50% of meals for an average family. This, my friends, is what we call "filler food." It fills us up, but does not meet our bodies' needs.
According to studies, the average American is deficient in trace minerals, enzymes and vitamins. It has been stated that a B-12 deficiency may account for early dementia, a lack of chromium may result in hypoglycemia or diabetes, mineral shortages aggravate arthritic conditions, preservatives and additives may be a major cause of behavioral problems and on and on.
The ideal is to get all we need from our food, but if you know you are among the millions of Americans who are not eating plenty of fresh vegetables, grains, fruits, dairy and meat on a daily basis or if stress depletes your intake; vitamin and/or herbal supplementation may be necessary. Ask your professional practitioner, read some books and listen to your body.

Conveyor belt generates power for air cannons to control build-up
All Martin Engineering
The Ash Grove Cement plant in Louisville, NE produces approximately 1.1 million t/a
1 One cannon was located at the head of the conveyor, with two others at the tail
2 The O.D. of the generator matches that of the roll, but places the unit outside the material path
3 The Martin air cannons employ a unique valve design that can be serviced quickly and safely
Ash Grove Cement is the 5th-largest producer in the United States, shipping 8.3 million t of Portland and masonry cements from eight plants nationwide. Founded in 1882, the firm currently operates 27 cement terminals and two deep-water import terminals, as well as extensive ready-mix operations and a major quarry operation in British Columbia.
The plant in Louisville, Nebraska produces approximately 1.1 million t/a. In order to maintain production levels, efficient material movement via conveyor is critical. The issue is especially acute when running wet raw material at the quarry. Over time, operations personnel noted accumulation in specific locations that threatened to slow material movement – particularly at transfer points – which required manual intervention on a near-constant basis.
"Basically, a plant utility person would have to be stationed at the transfer point at all times, operating an air lance to prevent material from plugging the chutes," explained Ash Grove Quarry Superintendent Quentin Vandal. "The approach required a staff member to poke and prod the accumulation for an entire shift to maintain the flow of raw material and keep pace with our production needs."
Vandal recognized that air lancing was not a sustainable solution, and that the temporary fix was affecting overall efficiency, raising costs and taking a valuable employee away from more productive tasks. The plant had used air cannons from Martin Engineering in other locations at the facility to maintain material flow and prevent blockages. But the situation on Conveyor 102 was unique, in that no power was readily available to run the devices. Vandal turned to conveyor experts at Martin to review the issues and come up with a solution.
The first step was installing Martin's innovative air cannon designs at key locations throughout the transfer point. One was located at the head of the conveyor, with two others at the tail. "The cannons did a good job of breaking loose the accumulation, but because they were connected to the plant's air supply without electrical power, the units had to be fired manually," explained Martin Territory Manager Cory Goldbeck. "So when plant personnel noticed a reduction in material flow, they would walk to the conveyor and trigger the cannons. This wasn't a permanent solution, because at times the firing was a little too late, and that would require another round of air lancing."
Tapping into kinetic energy
To address the lack of readily available power, Martin technicians installed the company's Roll Generator System, a unique design that uses the energy of the moving conveyor to generate electricity. "A conveyor is driven by a multi-kilowatt motor, and this power is readily available system-wide in the form of the moving belt," Goldbeck continued. "The motors driving the belts are typically sized with a considerable power safety factor to account for parasitic loads, such as rolls with damaged bearings, tracking devices, sealing systems, belt cleaners and material changes due to different moisture levels and variable loads."
Currently available only in the USA, Martin's product engineers developed the patented design that uses a magnetic coupling attached to the end of an existing roller. The outside diameter of the generator matches the diameter of the roll, but places the generator outside the material path to avoid the heavy loads and fugitive material that tended to damage previous design attempts. The system easily generates enough energy to power the air cannons, allowing operations personnel to schedule automatic firing and prevent the accumulation that had been creating flow problems. Together, the components created a turnkey solution that requires no human intervention.
The generator forms a lightweight unit that does not affect the existing roll in any way, except to be magnetically engaged and draw a small amount of mechanical power in order to generate the electrical energy. It's sealed from fugitive material and forms an integral unit independent of the conveyor roller. All components to "condition" the power to a steady 24VDC are enclosed in a protective cabinet.
The anatomy of an air cannon
The Martin air cannons are a positive-acting, internal valve design, developed specifically to deliver the most direct air path and maximum force output, with minimal air consumption. By producing more power from less air than most existing designs, it can employ a smaller reservoir, giving it a reduced footprint and allowing it to fit into tighter spaces.
During the firing sequence, a solenoid valve sends a signal to the exhaust valve, causing it to actuate and release the pressure holding the piston. The piston is instantly forced back by the air pressure stored in the tank, and the blast of air is then directed through the nozzle and into the target area. Refill time in this application is less than 30 seconds, and the current schedule has the cannons firing once every two minutes. Engineered to fire only when the belt is running and loaded, the system eliminates waste air from firing when there is no cargo on the belt or when the conveyor is idle.
The specially-designed valve allows the control solenoid to be positioned as far as 60 m from the tank, keeping critical components away from harsh service environments. Locating the tanks in a safe, easily accessible area means that workers can inspect the equipment more often and perform service on a single cannon without downtime.
The design was developed for simplified maintenance, as the complete valve assembly can be removed by a single worker in one easy step, working from one side of the tank. The units are warranteed for a minimum of 200000 firings.
The air cannons are reported to be functioning as designed, significantly reducing the need for air lancing and preventing the buildup of material that was affecting production. "The process experiences less downtime associated with wet material plugging the chutes, feeders and storage bins," said Vandal. "Operators are able to stay on task performing inspections instead of investing labor in time-intensive air lancing during operations. The ability to generate the necessary power right at the point where it was needed was a key element in the solution." Vandal estimates the payback period at 1 to 1.5 years, adding, "The solution is worth its weight in gold."
"The most valuable payback is improved safety," he concluded. "With this automated system, we've dramatically diminished the risk of potential injury, reducing personnel exposure to unnecessary safety concerns associated with air lancing. We're very happy with the outcome, and with the level of expertise and service overall from Martin Engineering."
