And So, a New Chapter Begins. . .
The call finally came. We have waited for so long, it seemed that it might never come. You've been praying, we've been asking, so many have lifted up the specific request that LeRoy might be able to start treatment and . . . Yes!
If there are no complications this weekend, on Monday we'll make the drive to the infusion center and start a new chapter in this journey. It will be almost six months to the day since he fell in Prince Edward Island and paralysis began to take over the lower half of his body. When I think back to that horrific time, not knowing if he'd survive the weekend, I'm reminded of the many ways God showed up and provided for us to make it to an excellent medical facility in the States.
And now, we move into treatment and (hopefully) recovery phase.
The infusion clinic called us with some rigorous instructions for us to follow during the course of these treatments. The nurse stressed to us that LeRoy absolutely can not be around anyone who may be carrying any type of illness (and this is while our state has some of the highest numbers for the flu outbreak in the nation). If he has an infection while on this course of treatment, he could have serious complications. He will have to limit his exposure to people and being in public, and when he is outside of our home, he will have to wear a mask.
Because of the risk involved, it will mean a lot of isolation in the coming weeks.
Living in isolation won't be a lot different than how we've already been functioning. The excruciating pain makes it difficult for LeRoy to do much more than navigate from his chair to the bedroom, so he's kind of forced to "be still." The "sitting still" aspect of this journey has been one of the real challenges for him. He has never been one to just sit. We've never even owned a recliner, but he has been sitting in a chair, quite literally, since we came home from the hospital at the end of August. My mom (who has a lot of experience in care-giving) saw the need for a recliner and bought him one shortly after we came home from the hospital (thanks, Mom, that chair has been a huge blessing).
We are trusting that God will accomplish all He has in mind.
We are thanking the Lord for continuing to lead and provide. We are watching and listening for His instruction. We can't see very far down the road . . . don't even know if we'll actually make it to the infusion appointment on Monday. That could be delayed again, if God so chooses. And if He does, He has good reason.
. . . the race that is set before us . . .
Knowing that He has "set" this race, this specific journey for us to take, brings a settled peace. There is no guessing: "Wonder what I'm supposed to do today?" I don't spend time wondering whether I'm in God's will with how I'm spending this season of my life . . . we know we are in the race that He has set for His good reason and purposes.
I know this is the race I'm to run, the real issue is . . . will I run it well?
He has a race set for you as well, it may have much larger challenges than what we are facing, but you can hurdle those challenges as you focus on the surrender and love of Christ. Fixing our eyes on Jesus provides the grace needed for the race He has set us on.
Pray for protection from illness and infection during these months of treatment. LeRoy's immune system will be quite depleted from these treatments. He is scheduled for six infusions (not a fan of that number), over the course of about four months (depending on how he responds and whether he can stay infection free during the course of treatment).
Pray for wisdom as we proceed, that the doctors will be alert to anything that they need to recognize during this process, and that we will have wisdom as we follow their instructions.
Pray that the treatment will be as effective as the doctors have described. They believe it will bring recovery, decrease his pain, improve his bodily functions, and restore his mobility. We are asking for that gracious work—knowing that ultimately any healing comes from our Lord.
And please continue to pray for LeRoy's pain to decrease. It is so hard to watch him suffer. We could knock him out with pain medication, but then he wouldn't be able to function, and being on strong narcotics has its own set of complications.
Our desire is to receive all that God desires to teach us in this time, and for us to glorify Him as we walk through this season. May He graciously answer that prayer, above all.
Praise the Lord the answer finally has come! Will pray all goes according to His plan and that you all will be able to run with perseverance the race before you with grace, that you will be able to bring Him glory through this challenge.
So thankful for the infusion appointments! Praying, praying for your requests in NW Arkansas.
So glad to hear this news! Praying for protection from infection, that the infusions would do their work and LeRoy would be healed. Thank you for your strong faith and clinging to God through this most difficult time. Sending our love!
I am sharing with your excitement that treatment day is here! God is so good! My husband and I will continue to pray for you two. We pray for a hedge of protection to surround you from any illness and infection. We pray for wisdom for the doctors, staff and also for you in any choices you need to make. We pray for effective treatment and the pain to diminish. We are praying Gods restoration on Leroy's body.
Thank you for sharing your faith in Jesus and including us in your journey.
We love you both through the Holy Spirits love. So hard to think of the pain you both are going through. Will keep your requests before our Father's throne. Thank you for sharing your life with us. God will and is using it for His Glory as hard as it is. When we know there is a purpose, and there always is, especially for God's Children, it just helps to keep taking one more step. Keeping Jesus love and all he did for us in our minds, helps so much too. We are sorry for the pain. My Mother lives with pain in her older years, almost every day. It hurts to know and see her. God be with you every moment! We KNOW He is!
Praying as you desire to bring glory to your Heavenly Father through this journey. Your faithful testimony is evidence of His power and presence in your lives. To God be the glory.
The specific requests are helpful. I will be praying!
Praying for you and Leroy!
Thank you for giving us specific ways to pray, which I continue to do. Your encouragemt to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus was what I needed to hear today. Praying for you and LeRoy.
1. To give over (something) to another for care, protection, or performance. Praying with you and entrusting LeRoy to the care of His Good Shepherd.
Oh beloved, how I can relate. We've just had another surgery and by now it's like okay Lord, whatever You allow through your fingers of love we know it will be okay. Trust was developed in the dark days when we didn't know if my precious hubby would survive. So now we just wait on the Lord and keep up that "good courage". I hope to meet you in person one day and hug your neck and thank you for sharing the Truth you are walking in. God bless you both and may this new treatment do exceedingly abundantly above all you and LeRoy have asked or thought!
Thanking God for you both and continuing to pray. As a nurse, I'm sure the staff told you that LeRoy's isolation might mean yours, too. You see, as his primary care-giver, he can't afford for you to bring home anything to him and the more you are out and about, the greater the chance of that happening becomes. Especially in public places like church or the supermarket. You might want to consider home delivery on groceries for this period if a local supermarket offers that service.
On a spiritual note, this is always my concern as well: "I know this is the race I'm to run, the real issue is . . . will I run it well?" I will pray that you both run it well. Blessings, sister!
I have been following your posts and praying for your dear husband, and will continue to do so.
Are you and Leroy at all open to natural healing modalities?
I use essential oils and have experienced tremendous blessings and healing in my body and emotions.
If you are willing to try, I will be happy to give you some as a gift.
I use the Deep Blue rub and pills for pain.
So thankful he has finally made it to this point and it's now time for God to do a miraculous healing!! Praying daily, and diligently on your behalf, our hearts are with you guys! God is so able💞Love you!
Finally!!!! So thankful treatment is right around the corner! I am continuing to pray for you both! So thankful and love you both so much!
I am Praying for LeRoy's protection from illness and infection during these months of treatment. I pray the six infusions will take with no complications.
I pray that the Doctor's will have wisdom as you proceed,and will be alert to anything that they need to recognize during this process, and that you will have wisdom as you follow their instructions.
I pray that the treatment will be as effective as the doctors have described. I am believing it will bring recovery, decrease his pain, improve his bodily functions, and restore his mobility.
And praying that his pain decrease.
Continued prayers, especially now that a plan of treatment is in the works. You are both very special and God will continue to work through you.
Praying, praying, praying. I am in northern Idaho and our pastor is the one who was shot with six hollow-point 45 bullets. We have watched him struggle against horrific unspeakable pain. His right arm continues to feel as though it is literally "on fire." He is a warrior and I know LeRoy is too. None of us understands God's choices in these matters, but what is crucial is that we understand it is His very best decisions and that every moment is done "in love." I love CS Lewis' "Space Trilogy." There is an exchange between, what I call angels, in "Perelandra" that I am in love with. "Look on him, beloved, and love him," said the first. "He is indeed but breathing dust and a CARELESS touch would unmake him." There is nothing that is "careless" about God's attentions toward us. But, oh what an tragic and painful road we are sometimes called to travel. Praying for you both.
God remains in the throne of your heart, life and hope!
Faithful God, May he answers the desires of your heart for LeRoy and yourself, your family and and your church!
Praise for the answered prayers securing the infusion! Praying on that the treatment is received by his body and has the effect the doctors are wanting. Praying also for God to be glorified each step of this course ya ll are running! And for strength and to walk in His power and grace !
Praying for great success and protection from illness during this time.
Oh Kim. Praising God with you! And also as I read this I think of Job and through the new covenant in Christ, what a wife LeRoy has in contrast to Job's wife.
Your life has been a coach to me and many others. As a biblical wife, and now in the midst of suffering! May God continue to get the glory and give you peace, as your worship and praise demands so much sacrifice and suffering.

Dean Leacock signs one-year deal with Crawley Town
Crawley have signed former Premier League defender Dean Leacock on a one-year deal.
The experienced centre-back, who played in England's top flight for both Fulham and Derby, will join the Reds on August 1 after his contract with current club Notts County expires.
"I'm really pleased to be here," the 30-year-old told the club's official website.
"We've got a good mix in the squad of experience and youngsters and hopefully I can make a difference.
"I know League One well and having played against Crawley a few times I know that we are as good as anyone at this level on our day. It's early days but I think we can have a really good season."
Leacock has had spells at Leyton Orient and Coventry during a career spanning almost 12 years.
Crawley boss John Gregory was equally pleased to have signed the big defender following the departure of Kyle McFadzean.
"Kyle's departure left a big hole in our defence and I'm delighted we have managed to fill it with someone of Dean's experience and ability," Gregory said.
"He is based back down in the south-east now which is important and he knows this level like the back of his hand.
"It's a really good addition to the squad and we're pleased to have him with us."

KC Royals: Does remaining schedule help or hurt?
(Photo by Ed Zurga/Getty Images) /
(Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images) /
The KC Royals are 8-11 with 41 games left to play in 2020. Does their remaining schedule favor a run at the postseason?
When the game ends and the lights go out at Target Field Friday night, the KC Royals will be 9-11 or 8-12. Whether they beat, or are beaten by, Minnesota, one-third of Kansas City's season will be in the books with 40 games remaining. What might that mean for a still rebuilding club playing in an unusual season where anything can, and probably will, happen?
First and foremost, of course, is the postseason question–can these Royals, an intriguing mix of veterans, middle-of-the-roaders, and rookies, make a serious run at October baseball? In a normal campaign not shortened by a pandemic, the answer would probably be "No." But the unique set of circumstances affecting this season make it a "Maybe."
Schedule specifics aside for the moment, 2020's expanded playoff system gives this club a better chance than a normal season would afford. Under the new format, six more teams (three in each league) will qualify for the postseason this year–instead of the three division winners and two Wild Card clubs making it from both leagues, this season's playoff field will consist of those clubs and the second-place teams in each division.
Heading into tonight's game in Minnesota, the KC Royals were 8-11 after evenly splitting their last 10 games; they were in last place in the American League Central, four games behind the first place Twins, 2.5 games behind second place Detroit, and just three games behind in the Wild Card race. The simple fact they're only three games out of a playoff spot with 41 left to play gives the club and its fans at least mathematical hope.
The bottom line, of course, is that the Royals have to win, and win frequently, to have a realistic shot to play past the scheduled Sept. 27 end to the regular season. Can they? That, as they say, depends…

If you experience unwanted, phantom sounds day and night, you desperately want a tinnitus cure. If you've been researching this you likely have come across some offers for pills and supplements promoting a tinnitus cure. Tempting, unless you know the truth. There is no approved drug or supplement for the treatment of tinnitus.
While there has been a huge research effort to understand and cure tinnitus, doctors still don't know for certain the cause of it nor can they cure it. Organizations like the American Tinnitus Association and leading university researchers are committed to developing a tinnitus cure. Perhaps in the near future an actual cure can be found. Don't be disheartened, because through this research we have learned how to successfully manage symptoms so that most sufferers can get true relief. Treatment plans often follow a three pronged approach.
Most tinnitus patients are unaware that they have a hearing problem because they're consumed with the unwanted sounds they experience in their head. By treating the hearing loss, we can reduce the prominence of the ringing, clicking or buzzing many patients report.
By introducing white noise or other sounds, the brain can be tricked into not noticing the clicking, buzzing, chirping or ringing sounds. Many of the world's leading hearing aid brands have incorporated sound masking technology into their hearing aids. Stand alone devices and smartphone apps can also deliver sound masking to provide relief.
Certain aspects of our daily life can make tinnitus symptoms worse. By making small lifestyle changes in conjunction along with Sound Therapy and hearing loss treatment can provide substantive relief to daily symptoms.
The most important thing to do is get help from one of our doctors. Talk about your situation, get a thorough evaluation from our experts. Together we can develop an effective treatment to deliver relief. It's better than forking over lots of money for pills that simply don't work.

I've been sketching - a lot, this past year and plan on doing it even more this year.
To make it easier to do on busy days, I prepared some little squares in my journal for doing the daily prompts from the Sketchbook Skool A Drawing A Day Group, on Facebook (you don't have to be enrolled in Sketchbook Skool to join - though their online courses are a lot of fun and pretty reasonable — they even have a scholarship program, for those who might need it). It's a really fun, encouraging group of people on there.
This is my first attempt at posting from my phone, so I hope it works. If it does, I'll be back more often to share my sketches.
I love seeing your sketches on Instagram! Nice to see you back on the blog!

Nicola Sturgeon coronavirus briefing: What time is she speaking, will Cabinet discuss new measures, how can I watch?
Nicola Sturgeon coronavirus briefing RECAP: First Minister 'disappointed and frustrated' after Celtic Dubai trip
HealthCoronavirus
Nicola Sturgeon warns further shops and businesses could close in Scotland under harsher lockdown rules
More businesses could face closure to get Covid-19 under control, the First Minister has warned.
By Conor Matchett
Thursday, 7th January 2021, 1:40 pm
More businesses in Scotland could shut as Nicola Sturgeon explores tightening restrictions on essential retail.
Some retail outlets deemed 'essential' could be closed to provide fewer reasons for the public to go outside, Nicola Sturgeon told ITV's Good Morning Britain.
She said the Scottish Government was looking at whether restrictions around non-essential businesses could be tightened further to bring the lockdown announced on Monday January 4 closer to the one imposed in March last year.
Sign up to our public interest bulletins - get the latest news on the Coronavirus
Ms Sturgeon said: "I hope the restrictions if people abide by them and people have been fantastic at abiding by restrictions all along and that's not easy, if people abide by them I hope and believe we can see the case rise stem and hopefully cases start to decline but I'm not complacent about that yet, we are monitoring traffic numbers for example to see the extent to which this lockdown is keeping people at home.
"There is a question in my mind about whether we need to go a bit further in restricting non-essential business activities to cut even further the reasons that people have for being outside of their own home and that's something I will be looking at with my advisers over the next few days."
Under current restrictions, food retailers, off-licences, pharmacies, newsagents, building merchants, petrol stations, car repair garages, bicycle shops, taxi businesses, banks and other financial services, post offices, funeral directors, healthcare providers including dentists, vets, agricultural supplies shops, click and collect, storage and distribution facilities, car parks, public toilets, livestock markets or auctions and outdoor markets are allowed to continue operating.
This is wider than the restrictions in March with high street and local restaurants such as McDonald's – which shut in the March lockdown – allowed to continue to offer takeaway services.
In March, the UK Government's list of essential retail included supermarkets and food shops, pharmacies, petrol stations, newsagents, bicycle shops, home and hardware stores, laundrettes, garages, pet shops, post offices, and banks and was followed by the Scottish Government.
Further restrictions to business operation could see the banning of takeaways, the closure of click and collect, public toilets and off-licences based off the differences between the March and January lockdowns.
No decision has yet been made, but speaking at her daily coronavirus briefing, Ms Sturgeon indicated that construction sites as well as click and collect services may be told to shut to "radically reduce interactions".
She said: "In the last lockdown non-essential construction and manufacturing didn't operate for a period, they've both done an awful lot to make their operations safer but we have to keep all of that under review.
"All employers should be reviewing their operations to allow as many people to work from home as possible, in particular they should only be asking people to come into work if it is for work that cannot possibly be done from home and if it is work that is genuinely essential.
"That also applies and this is a point I want to stress, that applies to takeaway businesses and to non-essential shops providing a click and collect service.
"If you can provide delivery services instead, you should do that and that will reduce the need for people to leave their homes and it will help all of us to fight this virus more effectively."

Re-imagining Instant Noodles
by WhatIF Foods on August 19, 2021
What if instant noodles were made this way!
Known as the broke college students' main source of food, instant noodles have been satisfying the hungry bellies of the economically-unstable or culinarily-challenged for decades. However, the instant noodle has never been viewed as a nourishing food item-that is, until some of us asked what if…?
Magic Ramen!
The idea for the world's first instant noodle, "chicken ramen," (or more accurately 'chikin ramen') came to Momofuku Ando in 1940s post-war Japan. Still in recovery from WWII, Japan was facing nation-wide famine and its worst harvest season in decades. People were starving and dying, leaving them to rely heavily on wheat provided by the U.S during its occupation in Japan. Often made from this surplus of wheat were ramen and gyoza— a staple "stamina food," both filling and high in calories. Despite this, the government pushed to produce bread instead, baffling Ando. As a means to maintain Japan's heritage and possibly solve Japan's hunger problem, he thought of making instant ramen that was not only more accessible, but also easier to prepare.
After a year of experimenting, Ando came up with an entire process of industrially manufacturing instant noodles— a process that is still implemented today. It starts with noodle-making, followed by steaming, seasoning and finally dehydrating the noodles in oil heat. Before long, people began calling the invention "Magic Ramen" for its convenience and ingenuity.
Sustenance vs subsistence
It has now been decades since the end of WWII. Japan's economy is nowhere near where it used to be— but its instant noodle consumption has only increased. Japan consumes about 5630 million servings of instant noodles a year and consumption increases by 100 thousand servings annually. Our diets have, slowly but surely, evolved from eating to obtain energy to survive to eating for long-term health and prosperity. We are becoming more health-conscious by the day. Which begs the question— why is our instant noodle consumption increasing when we now value health over mere subsistence?
Plenty in empty calories
Nowadays, instant noodles are constantly associated with the term 'empty calories.' For those unfamiliar, empty calories are, fundamentally, foods that may be filling but have no nutritional value. It was a concept first explored by French physiologist François Magendie, who conducted an (ethically questionable) experiment in which he fed a 3 year-old dog only sugar and recorded his findings— it died in 32 days.
Although our diets are (hopefully) not as extreme as Magendie's test animals', we, especially children, still consume a notably high amount of empty calories— with the majority of it coming from added sugars, solid fats, processed oils and starch. Unfortunately, the introduction of instant noodles has done little to nothing to help ease its consumption.
The mighty Maida
To answer the previous question, let's take a look at the ingredients list many of us often ignore. Most instant ramens are made with maida— a milled, refined and bleached version of wheat flour. During the refining process, the most nutritious parts of whole grains, like bran and germ, are removed— stripping the flour of most of its natural nutrients including: fibre, vitamins, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and more.
Nevertheless, there is one thing maida doesn't lack in— carbohydrates. High intakes of carbohydrates, especially highly-processed carbs, are detrimental to our hormonal systems as it encourages the secretion of insulin. This consequently causes more energy to be converted into fat tissues instead of it being used to fuel other parts of the body. Which, in turn, causes hunger and overeating— leading to weight gain and obesity.
Busy office workers or students consume instant ramen to satiate their hunger and to feel energized but what they don't realize is that it could leave them feeling even more hungry than they were before. What's more surprising is that, being overweight and consuming junk food might not be as clear of a cause-and-effect situation as we once thought it to be. Feeling constant hunger and fatigue may even be symptoms of being overweight rather than its cause. It's a simple but vicious cycle.
The 'instant' in instant noodles
Instant noodles get its 'instant'-ness by being deep fried in palm oil prior to packing. Palm oil is a type of vegetable oil that is harvested from the fruit of oil palm trees. It's relatively cheap and is usually available in huge amounts— but, like all things, it comes with a cost. The palm oil industry is one of the most destructive businesses in the world. Tropical forests and multitudes of ecosystems have been destroyed to make room for oil palm plantations. So much so that it has led to the imminent extinction of rhinos, elephants, Tigers, and more— whose habitats have been destroyed. Not only is it destructive to the environment, palm oil is high in saturated fats which boosts LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, leading to higher risks of heart disease.
What doesn't kill you makes you... keep eating it?
Despite countless studies illustrating the harm of instant noodles, the world still slurps down 116.6 billion servings a year; which means almost 320 million servings daily. Consumption is most prominent in Asia—where almost 80% of the world's instant noodles are eaten. It seems that the majority of us consume instant noodles despite the health risks.
Originally invented as a solution to mass hunger, the instant noodle is now considered to be a favourite 'comfort food' for many. It is a warm, nostalgia-filled bowl that's easy to whip up in no time. Many of us are guilty of stuffing a few packets in our luggage for a taste of home when we travel. It's clear that instant noodles aren't going anywhere soon despite our society transitioning to more health-conscious diets and lifestyles. So, what can we do about it?
What if we could make instant noodles healthy?
This is the fundamental question that our founders targeted as they deep dived into a five-year R&D project.
While WhatIF Foods believes that instant noodles will continue to play a central role in bringing accessible calories to people, we believe that we and our consumers must try to reimagine the instant noodle category for the sake of our health and the Earth's health. Years of R&D later, we have developed proprietary technologies to make instant noodles healthier for the you, all the while regenerating our environment and farming communities.
Not fried like the other guys
WhatIF Foods has our very own patented air-frying process that allows for noodles to be pre-cooked without having to be deep fried— making it palm oil-free and less fatty. Air-frying also helps our noodles retain nutrients and natural colours from the Regenerative Crops used in our unique formulations.
Speaking of Regenerative Crops...
Regenerative Crops are nutritionally dense crops that are climate-resilient, resource efficient, and economically viable for smallholder farmers. We feature the BamNut, traditionally known as Bambara groundnut or Kacang Poi (Bahasa), in all our noodles. As our noodles are not exposed to high temperature associated to the deep-frying process, we manage to retain all the natural goodness of the BamNut like its high protein and fibre contents. As a result, all our noodles are high in protein and contain a significantly higher amount of fibre compared to others on the market.
Fooling the brain
The food science team at WhatIF Foods searched high and low for the best way to bring out that fried flavour without the need for deep-frying. Much of the flavour of traditional instant noodles that we all love come from an abundance of artificial flavouring, MSG, and the deep-frying of the noodles. We took on the challenge to eliminate all these yuckies. Our team finally arrived at a 'secret sprinkle' of herbs, which is 100% natural to create noodles that fool your brain into thinking that you are eating something deep-fried even when it is not!
Where can I find WhatIF Foods noodles?
Starting on the 1st of July, our four colourful noodles - BamNut Noodles with Sweet Hot seasoning, BamNut Moringa Noodles with Sesame Garlic seasoning, the BamNut Pumpkin Noodles with Cheeky Curry seasoning, and the BamNut Charcoal Noodles with Shroom Pepper seasoning - will be available on our webpage and 28 locations of FairPrice Finest. Support us in our journey in reimagining instant noodles.

There's no doubt that most players love online pokie games and that's why they visit online casinos. Pokies are quick and easy games that offer large payouts however, while these games are as great as they obviously are, you can grow tired of your playing one option day in and day out. It's not a bad idea for you to mix you online casino pokie play with other fabulous options.
One great option for a pokie player that wants to expand his or her horizons is Baccarat. This great card game is one of the easiest card games to try out since there are just three possible wagers a player can make which are wagering on the banker hand, player hand or both hands tying. Another fun and great option is Blackjack. Even though this card game is a little more complicated, beginner players can still take advantage of the basic blackjack strategy card, which can be found online for free.
Craps is also a great option for players looking to try something new. This game offers a wide variety of bets and options that keep the game interesting and profitable. Another great game is definitely Roulette. This classic casino game offers player low house edges and great opportunities to win and win with a bang.
There are many different things that you can do that will guarantee a successful online casino experience. However, some of these things may seem rather unusual at first. Giving these tips a try will possibly prove to be beneficial to your overall online gaming sessions. Of course, don't dismiss learning the casino games rules and strategies since this is what will ultimately keep you going on for longer and winning more and more.
But what about meditating for a little while before you begin your session? Giving your mind a rest is one of the most positive activities you can do before you being playing for the day. Simply give your mind a 5 minute rest before you log in and start hitting that spin button on your favorite online fruit machine game. You will be feeling much more focused and energized than if you hadn't taken the time to meditate.
In addition, you can be in the middle of a long online casino session and start feeling tired but not wanting to end the session just yet. Taking a nap is the perfect solution to this. You can rest for a little while and come back to the virtual tables feeling refreshed and with a ne sense of focus. An advantage that many of the other players at the tables will not have.
You might be into online casino games simply to play fabulous fruit machines; however there are other games that are also pretty interesting and give you the chance to regroup as you take a break. These games, as well as fruit machines, all have little hidden tricks that will make your experience much more enjoyable.
For instance, when it comes to online fruit machine games you already know that you want to look into those games that offer a higher payout percentage. Of course if you know that a game has a reputation of paying 99% then, wouldn't you want to pick that game? The answer if an absolute yes! Try to pick games with a higher payout percentage, as these will help you build your bankroll faster and juicer.
If you happen to pick other popular table games there are some tricks you want to follow with these games as well. For example, if you're interested in playing few games of Blackjack and you're kind of new to the game, try to go for the single deck games as these will be easier for you to could and apply the basic strategy. Also if you want to try your luck with other games like Roulette or Video Poker take into account that most online casinos will give you the option to play these games in the free mode where you don't have to spend any of your real money. Give these a try to take a break from your favorite fruit machine games and then go back to hitting that spin button with a more relaxed mindset.
These days there are many online progressive pokies to choose from. Progressive online pokie games are the ones that have an ever-growing jackpot that is linked to many other pokie machines in order to make the accumulated prize grow every time a player hits the spin button.
A great example is the classic 3 reel pokie Strike Gold. This game offers a wild symbol that's actually the name of this machine. Some other symbols found on this pokie include the Gold Coins Pot and the Gold Coin. You will also find the more traditional pokie symbols such as the Single Bar, the Double Bar and the Triple Bar. In this game you're able to place bets with the standard coin size of 1.00 credits and bet with one or two coins. In order to land the progressive jackpot you will need to land three of the Strike Gold logo symbols with the use of the maximum two coins.
Another great online progressive pokie example is Major Moolah. In this pokie you're able to wager with up to three coins. The most important symbols present in Major Moolah's single pay line are the Major Moolah logo and the Star. You will also play with the classic Seven and Bar symbols. The coin size in this pokie is fixed at 1.00 credit which makes each spin at $3.

Claude Bibeau (Drummondville, 1954 – Montréal, 1999) est un artiste-peintre, sculpteur, scénographe et un collectionneur québécois. En 1973, l'artiste se fait connaître en fondant le Mouvement Bonbon avec le peintre Colin Chabot. Décrites et étiquetés hyperréalistes, tantôt naïfs ou surréalistes, les tableaux de Claude Bibeau révèlent une personnalité d'artiste unique et une vision incisive et originale de la société in Consortium de promotion des arts et de la culture du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean.

Biographie

Claude Bibeau (1954-1999), natif de Drummondville au Québec, a poursuivi une carrière de peintre pendant un peu plus d'une vingtaine d'années. Ses œuvres ont été exposées en France, au Mexique et au Canada. La plupart de ses œuvres se retrouvent dans des collections privées en Europe et en Amérique du Nord. Tantôt étiquetés hyperréalistes, tantôt naïfs, tantôt surréalistes, les tableaux de Claude Bibeau révèlent surtout une personnalité d'artiste unique et une vision incisive et originale de la société. Doté d'une grande maîtrise du dessin et des coloris, Bibeau a laissé derrière lui une œuvre riche, mature et malheureusement inachevée. Deux de ses tableaux majeurs, « Figure de tragédie » et « Sébastien», font partie de la collection du Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. Il a exploité les thèmes de l'art naïf ; paysages, objets et personnages sont ainsi stylisés ; il a été inspiré par le  pop-art dont il fut l'un des seuls représentants au Québec, par l'imagerie psychédélique, l'hyperréalisme et le surréalisme. Il meurt prématurément, le 30 juillet 1999, des suites d'une longue maladie.

One-on-One With N.C. Agricultural Research Service Director Steve Lommel
January 5, 2021 | Dee Shore
When it comes to NC State University's impact on agriculture, the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service's discoveries lead the way. Director Steve Lommel provides an update on the service and the groundbreaking research that's changing farming and food for the better.
[buzzsprout episode="7128538″ player="true"]
Dee Shore (00:07):
For over 130 years, NC State University has been a friend to North Carolina farmers. It's educated the next generation of growers, driven prosperity through extension and outreach, and generated research that has improved how we feed ourselves. I'm Dee Shore from NC State's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and in this episode of Farms, Food and You, we visit with the man at the helm of the university's agricultural research enterprise, Steven Lommel, as he describes the work of the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service and what the organization means to farmers today.
As a land grant institution, NC State plays a unique role in conjunction with North Carolina A&T State University in serving North Carolina agriculture and agribusiness. To achieve its mission, NC State's agricultural research casts a wide net. 320 faculty members support 600 active projects with the implications for nearly 90 farm commodities. For the last seven years, Steven Lommel has helped shape this work as associate dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and director of the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service.
Before that, he was a William Neal Reynolds professor of plant pathology. He studied how plant viruses move through plants to cause disease and ultimately explored the use of plant viruses to deliver drugs to treat cancer. His work then and now has had two goals – goals that drive NC State's agricultural research enterprise.
Steven Lommel (01:56):
We're very proud we're a land-grant institution. We're Think and Do. Thinking is discovery and research and the do is, "Let's figure out what to do with this discovery and solve a problem that's in North Carolina and in the United States and the world."
When it comes to agriculture, the focus starts with North Carolina, where the challenges are numerous and wide-ranging.
North Carolina is a very dynamic state agriculturally. We have over 90 commodity groups. And so, our research enterprise is very big because we have to provide research services and solutions to all those commodity groups.
Those solutions have implications far beyond those commodity groups and the farmers they serve. Taken together, they take aim at problems so big they've been dubbed grand challenges. They address such areas as improving the health and productivity of crops and farm animals needed to feed a growing world, understanding the potential impacts of climate variability and change and how to adapt to them, addressing issues of water quality and quantity, creating sources of sustainable bioenergy and securing the safety of our food supply. I asked Lommel about what he saw as some of the key challenges of importance to North Carolina farmers now and into the future and how the college addresses them.
I'm going to tip my hat to extension as I give the answer because a lot of the issues in agriculture are being addressed and solved on the extension side, but certainly the adaptation of new technologies. The development of these technologies far exceeds societal acceptance. And we need to work hard in explaining, as scientists, the value and the dangers of these new technologies and the Genetic Engineering and Society Center addresses that point blank.
There's also a big issue in agriculture with a regulatory environment using ag chemicals and other types of solutions. And we're addressing that through CERSA, a regulatory center that's part of the Plant Sciences Initiative. Certainly, climate change is a major issue in North Carolina. It goes every which way. Some years, we have really bad drought; some years, we have too much water. And we're addressing that from a management point of view, an economic point of view, a genetic point of view, and a data analytics point of view.
There's also a lot of human issues in agriculture with the availability of getting labor. And I know our ag economics department and our Extension folks are looking at that. Also, looking at increased profitability. The fine line between a profit and a loss is very tight. One of our global goals is to stabilize profits year over year, so plants and agriculture and yields are more uniform under varying climatic conditions. And that's an integrative solution, it's a genetic solution, it's an agronomic solution, it's an economic solution, it's a human solution.
We're working on those big hairy problems. And then, the classic thing we've been working on for years: post-harvest loss, disease resistance, increasing yields, animal production, animal welfare, mechanization, robotics, all of these things are also relevant.
While the college pushes ahead with agricultural research, it's also pursuing a deeper understanding of life sciences, which are relevant to both agriculture and society.
Some of the big things we're doing in the life sciences, we're certainly looking on the animal side, nutrition and reproduction. That's all pretty much animal physiology and animal genetics. We're looking at human obesity and metabolic diseases, like type two diabetes, using animal systems and using nutrition through our Plants for Human Health Institute down in Kannapolis. We're doing a lot of work on natural products and prebiotics. We're doing a lot of ecology at the climate scale and at the landscape scale, which means big ecology looking at states, and they're also looking at ecology at its much smaller scale: swamp ecology, lake ecology, agricultural ecology. Discoveries in that area can inform how to do agriculture.
When it comes to research successes, Lommel points to plant breeding programs that have led to such widely adopted varieties as the Covington sweetpotato and the Bailey peanut, and new foods, like Easy Eggs, as well as other food processing and food safety discoveries. He's also proud of NC State research into gene editing, a way to make specific changes to the DNA of a cell or organism. Among other things, it promises to speed genetic improvement in crops.
NC State is certainly on the map and is considered one of the leading institutions in the world on CRISPR technology. This is a specific type of gene editing technology that Rodolphe Barrangou was one of the co-inventors of – one of five or six co-inventors worldwide. This is an area where we are moving away from the discovery – from understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms – to actually using gene editing in plants and animal systems to improve yield, create disease resistance and things like this.
And we're actually now moving into the area of genetic-engineering-and-society type of questions. Will it be approved technology? Will people accept it? Is it considered the genetic engineering or not?
Barrangou and his colleagues at NC State have been involved in using CRISPR in a range of ways, from targeting disease-causing microorganisms to building better trees. NC State is also making significant headway in bringing together biology and engineering to develop new ways to use big data analytics and instrumentation to improve agriculture. And the university is at the leading edge when it comes to understanding the microbiome, the communities of microorganisms that live on, in or near plants, animals and people, and contribute to their functioning.
The world is full of microbes – in the soil, the surface of the plant, your gut, the surface of your skin, and NC State has now 70 to 80 microbiologists universitywide, a lot of them in our college, looking at various aspects of the microbiome. We're doing very basic research on looking out how microorganisms communicate with each other through chemical sensing with other non-microbial organisms and understanding how these populations of trillions of organisms affect larger organisms like plants and animals.
A little story I like to tell is that, generally, most complex organisms, whether they're a plant or an animal, have around 30,000 to 50,000 genes. The current hypothesis is that you probably need about 250,000 genes to survive on the planet, to be able to break down food, to pick up nutrients and things like that. And that gap between what we carry around in our genome, in ourselves, where are those other genes coming from? They come from the microbiome that we carry around inside of us. On plants, that's in the roots and on the leaves. And these microorganisms need to work with these complex organisms to survive on the planet.
NC State's reputation in this area led in part to a $30 million grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation to study the role of microbes that interact with wheat. The goal is to make the crop more resilient against environmental stresses while reducing the need for chemical treatments and irrigation. To be successful with this project and others, the college encourages transdisciplinary approaches – ones that require teams of scholars who work in different areas, pulling together to tackle big challenges.
NC State's work on a major Plant Sciences Initiative and a new Food Animal Initiative both emphasize this kind of work. Lommel says that such approaches require diversity, and that's a college strength.
It's very much a diversity culture. And what I mean by diversity is not only people, but a diversity of science, the diversity of representation, a diversity of crops, diversity of animals. Diversity, in the broadest sense of the term – that is something that we really take to heart and that is really critical to our mission.
One asset that allows for the diversity of agricultural research is a system of research stations owned and managed in a partnership between the university and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Lommel says the stations are essential to helping scientists take what they've learned in the laboratory and test it under real-world conditions.
NC State is exceptional at doing delivery kind of research. A lot of that has to do with our research stations and field labs throughout the state. We have a very large Extension program, too, and we partner very closely with Extension. But North Carolina is a very dynamic state with mountains, Piedmont and coastal, and many different soil types, so maintaining this robust system of research stations is really important to be able to serve and satisfy all those different regions. It also provides us a leg up for field research, as well.
Another asset that the college brings to bear in its research is perhaps the most important, the people who discover new knowledge, teach it and apply it to today's challenges. Lommel was proud of the college's efforts to hire a new generation of researchers and other faculty members. Many replaced retiring faculty members, but some positions were created through the Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program and other efforts. In all, 130 new faculty members have been hired.
Over a third of our faculty are new within the last three years. I don't know of any other land-grant institution in the country that has done this much hiring in this concentrated amount of time. And for us, it's a real reboot. We've been very deliberative about hiring faculty who are collaborative and are willing to work together, not to be isolated ivory towers. And it's hard to overemphasize the transformational feature that these new faculty are bringing to us. They're young. They're exciting. They have 25, 30 years of a career ahead of them at NC State University. We're going to reap the benefits of these hires for decades to come. I'm really proud of rebooting our human talent and growing the college.
Faculty members are instrumental in carrying out the university's three-part mission of teaching, extension, and research that advances North Carolina's economy and its quality of life for the benefit of the state and all its people. As director of the Agricultural Research Service and associate dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Lommel takes that mission to heart.
The research enterprise, and I can speak for the whole college, is here to serve all stakeholders in the state, urban stakeholders, agricultural stakeholders, organic stakeholders.

Auburn Police arrested and charged a Guatemalan National with second-degree rape after he fled the girl's parents. Immigration officials confirmed he is illegally present in the U.S.
Police Officers arrested Wilmer Adailt Lemus Villafuerte, 19, on Tuesday after he fled the home where he allegedly raped a 15-year-old girl, the Ledger-Enquirer reported.
An immigration detainer was placed on Villafuerte by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shortly after being taken into custody.

Men's Fashion Advice
The Shaman Is the All-Terrain Vehicle of Your Dreams
Denise Barnes, 15 May 2017
The Shaman All-Terrain Vehicle isn't your run-of-the-mill Jeep. This beast is nothing like most off-road vehicles. Designed by Russian automaker Avtoros, the Shaman gives new meaning to the phrase "off-road performance".
The Shaman All-Terrain Vehicle is an amphibious eight-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle that seems to know no bounds when it comes to off-road performance. The Shaman is an incredibly agile machine considering its massive size. It stands more than 3-metres tall and is over 6-metres long.
This massive vehicle was made to conquer just about any challenge that gets in its way. Water, inclines and hills are no match for the Shaman. It makes navigating the harsh Russian terrain look like child's play.
The Shaman's unique steering system has three different drive settings. The "on-road" setting uses the front 4-wheel drive while the "off-road" mode allows for active rear-wheel steering. Crab mode is a unique setting that allows the vehicle to move side-to-side like a crab.
With a top speed of just 80 km/h, this vehicle was not made to speed down the highway. Instead, it was made for the trails. Driven by a 146 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel, the Shaman has plenty of power to rip through any environment. The Shaman All-Terrain Vehicle is capable of scaling 45-degree inclines. It can also carry approximately 1.5 tonnes of cargo.
The body of the Shaman is smooth and sleek. The cockpit has a futuristic aesthetic. The manufacturer says that it is easy to learn how to drive the Shaman. Each model is completely customizable and takes about two months to produce.
@MercedesAMG G63 50th Anniversary Edition is a beat.

Nike 's (NKE) efforts to sell directly to consumers around the world make it the most compelling footwear stock around, according to new research.
The company is "positioned to take share in the high-growth, global activewear market as well as increase profitability, which should make it one of the highest growth consumer names and one of the few to benefit from the shift to e-commerce," Morgan Stanley analysts wrote Wednesday.
Morgan Stanley initiated coverage of Nike with an "overweight" rating and an $88 price target, 11% above current levels and 9% over FactSet's mean target.
The analysts also started coverage of Foot Locker (FL), Skechers (SKX) and Under Armour (UAA)—the latter, like Nike, is a Barron's Next 50 company—but all were started with price targets around or below current prices.
Generally, Morgan Stanley sees active apparel and footwear as bound for global growth of 7% over the next five years, ahead of the overall apparel and footwear category.
At Nike, meanwhile, Morgan Stanley expects "sustainable" revenue growth in the high single digits and widening EBIT margins in coming years.
Morgan Stanley believes that, relative to companies including Coca-Cola (KO), PepsiCo (PEP), and McDonald's (MCD)—what it calls "recession-resistant global consumer companies"—Nike's shares are undervalued.
