The Choice Is Yours
Lt. Col. Jack Mohr AUS Ret.
The Greek world had a great deal of influence on Christianity. Not only was Greek the "universal" language of the first century A.D., but it was the Greek Christians, who stood up and resisted attempts by the early Judeo-Christians, who insisted that Christians must become Judaized before they could be Christians. This in itself should give some answers to honest Bible scholars regarding Judeo-Christianity.
Rabbi Adolph Moses, writing in his book YAHVISM AND OTHER DISCOURSES, says on page 1: "Neither in Biblical nor post-Biblical, neither in Talmudic or much later times, is the term Judaism ever used."
According to the footnotes in Malcolm Ross' book CHRISTIANITY VS. JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY, p. 59, he said: "This is not an uncommon impression and one finds it sometimes among Jews as well as Christians - that Judaism is the religion of the Hebrew Bible. It is of course, a fallacious impression."
Michael Rodkinson, a translator of the TALMUD into English, says in his book THE HISTORY OF THE TALMUD, p.70: "The Talmud is the written form of that which in the time of Jesus, was called the 'Tradition of the Elders,' and to which He makes frequent allusions." Jesus as you remember, used some of His choicest criticism against these traditions.
Modern Jewish historians such as Graetz and Klausner, distinguish between the "pagan Christians (Greek) and the Judeo-Christians (Judaizers)". It is interesting to note that it was the Greeks who fought this fatal trend, while the Judeo-Christians, then as now, had friendly relations with the blasphemous Talmud.
We cannot condemn Peter and the other disciples for clinging to the vestiges of Judaism, since it was all they knew until Christ came.
Actually what they had been taught was HEBREWISM, not JUDAISM. The early disciples were bothered by some of the same problems which "bug" the Christian church of today. Are the written Ten Commandments and the Law, as given to Moses on Mt. Sinai for our use today? How much of the old law should we retain and what if any should we reject?
The early Jews suffered a great deal from inbreeding and knew that they would gain if they could Judaize the non-Jews among whom they lived. Apparently they had done a good job by the time of Christ, for one of His harshest criticisms was directed against their proselytizing efforts: "...when he is made, ye make him twice the "child of hell as yourselves," (Matt. 23:15).
So being Jews, and devious as always, (remember what Jesus called them in John 8:44 "liars from the beginning,") they would grant their new convert admission to Judaism, as "proselytes of the gate." These strangers might become Judaists, but they were never considered to be Jews. You could only be a Jew through birth. The same holds true today.
When Christians ignore this basic distinction between Jews and those who had been Judaized, they fail to realize that even if the eleven disciples, who were Galileans and who practiced Judaism, were of a different racial origin from the Jews, they were not considered Jews. There is much proof, that these Galileans were Aryan Gentiles (from the nations of Israel).
Circumstances made the Jews and Galileans neighbors, but it did not make them of the same racial background. On occasion they fought each other and at different times they were allies against common foe. It is interesting to note, that the first time the word "Jew" is used in the King James Version of the Bible, is 2 Kings 16:6, when the "Jews," were fighting against the Israelites. (Didn't your pastor tell you that "jews" and "Israelites" were the same people?)
The Galileans showed few Jewish traits. They were extremely nationalistic and were known for their love of freedom. They were despised by the Jews in Jerusalem as "country bumpkins." I guess in modern terminology, they would have been called "hill billies," or "red necks." Even the Talmud comments on these differences, by saying: "They are more anxious for honor than for money." Of course the contrary was true of the Jews.
While the Jews tried to leave the impression that the Galileans were an illegitimate people, they were evidently envious of Galilee's natural resource and the superior contacts she had with the outside world.
It is rather absurd for anyone, Bible student or pastor alike, to say that Jesus came from the parasite race of Jewry, just because it is to the benefit of the Jews to have us believe this. The contrast of His character, with those of the Satan's brood in Jerusalem should cause an intelligent individual to ask some searching questions.
The burden of proof, that Christ the Son of the Living God, belonged to a group which He characterized as "children of Satan," "poisonous reptiles," and "hypocrites," should rest on the shoulders of those religious simpletons who would foist off this age-old heresy on the Christian world.
The story of Jesus at the well of Samaria is a good illustration of the deep animosity between Jews and Galileans. Here Jesus was mistaken for a Jew, and unless you do some deep study on this passage, you might get the idea that he was accepting this title. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Some may say: "But Jesus was not the enemy of Judaism!" and I could truthfully answer: "Only as light is the enemy of darkness." Christ came to show mankind the only way to God.
Yes, He followed the customs of Hebrewism, such as the Passover, since this was a national as well as a religious feast. He taught in their synagogues, since that was the place where public speakers spoke. When He gave His disciples His parting instructions in Matthew 28:19, 20, He did not tell them to abandon Judaism, He said: "preach the gospel of the Kingdom." This amounted to the same thing, for Christianity was a "non-Jewish" religion from the very beginning, although its first converts were Jews by religion. Christianity was an "all-inclusive" religion to which all men could come; as they were called by the Father. Judaism was a closed religion, suited only to a "contrary people."
Christianity was not a religion of racial superiority. It did not envision Israelites as dictatorial rulers with thousands of heathen slaves. This was the vision of Judaism as seen in the TALMUD, where each Jew was promised 2,000 "goyim" slaves. In Christianity, the Leader said: "first learn to serve... He that Levites his life shall lose it; he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." These principles were completely contrary to what Judaism taught.
If you are honest my friend, can't you see the depth of the abyss which separates Judaism from Christianity? Judaism said "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." Christianity teaches "do unto others, as you would have them do unto you." Judaism makes men slaves of a heathen philosophy. Christianity sets men free.
Judaism is a narrow, bigoted religion, fit only for that peculiar people whom the Apostle Paul said: "Pleased not God and are contrary to all men," (I Thess. 2:15). Where Judaism says "only Jews may know our God," Christianity says: "Whosoever will may come!"
How utterly ridiculous to believe that the magnificent freedom of Christianity could spring from the bigoted ranks of Judaism.
Christ was not a revolutionary, as many try and picture Him. He was "evolutionary." By this, I mean, He did not come to destroy other religions, but to preach the kingdom of God. His was a positive ministry. He came, so He said, specifically to the "lost sheep of the house of Israel." This did not refer to unsaved Jews, as many preachers try and explain. He came to the house of Israel, which was scattered abroad as punishment for their evil ways. He came to bring them together again as a "nation of priests ... show forth the praises of God who had called them out of darkness, into His marvelous light," (I Peter 2:9).
When Peter began his ministry, he went to those he knew. These were people who were already Judaized; probably most of them were not Jews. He emphasized the Judaic concepts because this was all he knew. But this compromise between Christianity and Judaism could not endure. The two are irreconcilable. The Jewish leaders knew this and after publicly murdering the leader of the new faith, they set out to "stamp it out." They forbade the Apostles from performing acts of healing and public preaching. They threw them into prison, they beat them up, they harassed them from house to house and city to city.
In Russia, this trend toward destruction can be seen, when in the first year of Jewish-Communist occupation (al this time, over 90% of the top leaders in Communism were Jews), 31 bishops, 1650 ministers and priests, and over 2-million Christians were brutally murdered. This included the murder by a Jewish assassin of the Emperor and his entire family. In the years that followed, millions were driven to death by the rigors of the slave camps and by planned starvation, which in the Ukraine alone, killed over 6-million people.
To date, a conservative estimate of official murders by Communist regimes around the world, stands at the terrible figure of 140-million.
While some "little Jews" deny this holocaust, Jewish leaders gloat over it. Shortly after the takeover of Russia in 1918, Rabbi Stephen Wise, the top Jew in the United States was asked his opinion of the revolution. He replied: "Some call it Communism: I call it Judaism." The JEWISH CHRONICLE, for April 4, 1919 said: "...there is much in the fact of Bolshevism itself, in the fact that so many Jews are Bolshevists, in the fact that the ideals of Bolshevism are consonant with the finest ideals of Judaism..."
Count Mensdorh, the Jewish Ambassador from Austria to England, stated at the end of WWI - "Israel won that war; we made it, thrived on it, profited from it. It was our supreme revenge on Christianity."
M. Hermalin, a Jew, wrote in 1917, "The Russian Revolution was made by Jews. We created secret societies and planned the Reign of Terror. The Revolution succeeded by our convincing propaganda, and our mass assassinations in order to form a government truly ours."
THE AMERICAN HEBREW, leading Jewish newspaper in the United States, carried an article in its August 10, 1920 edition which said: "The Bolshevik Revolution is Russia was the work of Jewish brains, of Jewish planning, whose goal was to create a new world order. What happened in Russia, shall also, through Jewish mental and physical forces, become a reality over all the world."
The Jewish periodical, THE JEWISH WORLD, London, January 16, 1919 carried an article which said: "International Judaism forced Europe into the war (WWI), not only to seize a large part of the gold but to start a new Jewish World War (W.W.II) by the help of this gold."
I could go on with hundreds of pages of quotations from Jewish sources, where they brag about their destruction of Christendom and their intentions of world power in the future.
Judaism has always been a contradiction. While it calls itself International, it has always been International. While it claims to be the source of the Christian religion, it calls its founder an "illegitimate bastard." While it preaches "pacifism," it has been the source of all wars for over 150 years.

Briefly Noted
May 6, 2002 Issue
By the Lake
by John McGahern (Knopf; $24)
This stately novel by one of Ireland's foremost writers is, as its title suggests, primarily about the rhythms and cadences of place. The story is an old one: in search of a quieter way of life, Joe and Kate Ruttledge have traded their careers in London for a farm near a small Irish village, where they learn how to raise sheep and are steadily drawn into the lives of their neighbors. There's the Shah, a rich bachelor in search of an heir for his business; John Quinn, a weaselly sexual predator, and a danger to women throughout the county; and Jimmy Joe McKiernan, an I.R.A. leader whose exploits periodically stir up high feeling. McGahern is never sentimental, and the novel's greatest pleasures come from the unflinching probity of his observations: he writes as crisply about the parsimony of a neighbor or sending lambs to be slaughtered as he does about the notion that happiness should be allowed its own slow pace so that it passes unnoticed, if it ever comes at all.

Our metal cards are basically tin postcards with embossed edges and can be mailed worldwide with or without the enclosed envelope. Tin-plate postcards greatly stand out against regular postcards. Compared to the normal paper postcard, the tin-plate postcard is not disposed off in the rubbish, but is often used as a wall or shelf decoration. The back of the card is coated with paper and can be written on with a normal pen just like any regular postcard.
special characteristics of the card.


Do you trust the crowd or only the anointed experts? Conventional wisdom says that only credentialed experts are to be trusted. Those experts will be appointed by the government. But what is the government but a collection of average people? What turns out to be true over and over is that the crowd is wise and can be trusted in spite of the fact that conventional teaching dictates otherwise. Let's look at some examples.
When Wikipedia came out most thought, "Allowing anyone with no pre-clearance or credentials to author portions of a document that's supposedly a reference point for definitive knowledge is ludicrous. It will be filled with inaccuracies. Better to leave it to the experts at Grolier and Encyclopedia Britannica." Today we know that conventional wisdom was completely wrong. The crowd trounced the experts in every regard producing a wider breadth of knowledge with higher accuracy, quicker time to corrections, and more timely information.
Critics might say that Wikipedia is a web site, but personal protection is a wholly different, more serious undertaking for which the crowd cannot be trusted. One could make the argument that citizens themselves are firefighters, extinguishing blazes themselves 99.99% of the time. For those that escalate, two thirds of fire departments in the US are crowd sourced, aka volunteers. They're not full time experts, yet they have no less effectiveness than the paid counterpoints.
All the data indicates people are responsible with the potentially harmful items they have at their disposal. Every person entering a sit-down restaurant is given a knife, yet they don't use it to assault their fellow diners. Those attending movies could yell "fire", likely leading to a stampede for the exits trampling or even killing many, yet it doesn't happen. Turn 16 in the US and you're given permission to drive a 2,000 lb. missile among fellow citizens. The testing is minimal which appalls those in more stringent countries who are baffled it works, yet it does. The crowd is responsible.
Back to guns. Those for stricter gun controls say more guns equates to more gun crime, but the data disproves that contention. Rural residents have much higher gun ownership than urban areas, yet the murder rate is lower in rural areas. If gun-toting protectors were not trustworthy then the opposite should be true.
More compellingly, 253 journals, 99 books, 43 government publications have examined gun control laws worldwide and failed to identify any gun control that reduces violent crime. Some have even found the opposite to be true. A fascinating book arrives at this conclusion called More Guns, Less Crime. To anyone who believes in using factual data to arrive at a conclusion this should be persuasive.
Still many wrestle with the most basic logic that if there are more guns, then more bad guys will have guns. Bad guys will always have guns and it is certainly possible that a greater prevalence of guns will end up arming more bad guys, but one must look at both sides of the equation. More guns also means more guns in good people's hands and there are a lot more good people than bad. Bad guys will ignore laws, so restrictive laws remove good guys with guns from the situation.
Guns are a powerful deterrence and are often used for defensive purposes. The most thorough study arrived at the conclusion DGU (defensive gun uses) thwart crime 2.5 million times per year but other studies have concluded it's as low as 115,000. (Read this for a thoughtful analysis of the various studies methodology.) That doesn't include crimes which didn't happen at all because the perpetrator suspected a gun could be present, which is substantial. In US, hot burglaries (those where a person is home) is 13%. In more restrictive gun control countries, like UK and Canada where there's lower likelihood of confronting an armed resident, it is 50%. The positive benefits of guns are always overlooked by those demanding more restrictive gun access.
In spite of the compelling data that crowd sourcing of protection works, many will remain skeptical. They're understandably swayed by the emotion of a tragedy, a well documented human deficiency, to look for an easy solution. Hysteria is the arch enemy of reason. Guns are a natural target but so are drugs, movies and video games. In the 1950s it was comic books which the reactionary Senate cracked down on. There are no solutions only trade-offs and usually the trade-offs are lost in the analysis.
Something deeper is at work and that is a mantra drilled into citizens by government schools and well meaning parents. Children are taught that those in authority are somehow superior and looking out for their interests. They have badges, titles or some other reverential attire. These are the people to be implicitly trusted kids are taught. Don't trust the faces in the crowd.
It's a perfectly logical strategy to build a compliant citizenry, but it's inaccurate. Government officials are not morally superior. They don't care more or less for other people. They're just regular people who happen to get paid by the tax collector. A teacher is no more or less likely to treat kids well than the average person. The rash of sexually abusing teachers demonstrates that. Similarly, a cop is no more or less likely to use his gun for good or bad than the average citizen. My hometown of San Diego has seen plenty of bad cops abusing their authority.
This brings us back to the crowd. In spite of conventional teaching, crowd sourcing works and is almost always better than a central authority. Capitalism owes it success to the crowd, which always knows more about the situation and reacts faster than the central authority. That holds true for protection of citizens as well. Police typically take 10-30 minutes to respond to a 911 call. Unless you've encountered a slow moving threat, you'll need the crowd to provide security. Trust the crowd, it works.

"Catholic Cemeteries and Funeral Services of the West is committed to promoting the Order of Christian Funerals and the tradition of Catholic Burial in Catholic Cemeteries."
CCFW is a membership based association where Catholic Cemeteries, Funeral Homes and supplier members come together to share their experiences and challenges.
Catholic Cemeteries and Funeral Services of the West (CCFW) has its roots in an earlier organization known the Association of Catholic Cemeteries of the Northwest. That organization, a small group of cemeterians from the states of Washington and Oregon as well as Vancouver, BC, began meeting in 1967.
In the mid-1980's Joseph Sankovich, Director of Cemeteries, Archdiocese of Seattle, began conversations with other Directors of Cemeteries throughout the Western United States and Western Canada to ascertain interest in forming a broader based organization to provide "a platform to do in-depth sharing on issues particularly germaine to the Western environment." The first meeting of the organization that would become "Catholic Cemeteries and Funeral Services of the West" occurred on March 26 and 27, 1987 in Reno, NV at the Eldorado Resort Casino.
The model used as a basis for discussion was that of the Western Cemetery Alliance (no longer exists) and its relationship to the American Cemetery Association (now the International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association). The group gathered decided collectively to explore the possibility of a Catholic regional group.
In 2017, the group added in Funeral Services to the organization in order to bring in those who also have Funeral Homes on Cemetery Property, as well as to include Funeral Homes which whom the Diocese Cemeteries have close relationships with.
Now, more than 30 years later, CCFW still convenes under the same grassroots principals. Sharing ideas and resources with one another in a fast growing industry making developing, cutting edge technology and products available to members.
The purposes of the corporation shall be to bring together a voluntary group of Roman Catholic cemetery and funeral home personnel included in Regions VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, and XIII of the United States as determined by the United States Catholic Conference, and the four Western Provinces of Canada:
To foster the Christian concepts of interment in its full aesthetic and traditional dimensions in accordance with the best of contemporary Catholic theological thought;
To combine efforts to meet, in its many forms, the modern challenge to the Catholic cemetery and funeral home;
To provide an opportunity for the discussion of matters of mutual concern to the participating Catholic cemeteries and funeral homes;
To promote a high standard of cemetery and/or funeral home management and operation in the service of the Catholic community;
To carry out research on problems of the Catholic cemetery and/or funeral home and to make recommendations for prudent action based on that research;
To collaborate with associated industries in upgrading the standards of service and improving community regard for our common endeavors;
To cooperate with other associations, cemeteries and funeral homes, Catholic and non-sectarian, to promote these and similar aims on a regional or national basis; and
To engage in any other lawful activity which may hereafter be authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the purposes for which the corporation is formed shall at all times be consistent with Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenues Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as it now exists of as hereafter amended, including within such purposes the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Code. adopted August 1994.

Election: NURTW Boss Urges Members To Turn Out En masse
Lagos – The chairman, Lagos State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede, has directed all members of the union to come out enmasse on Saturday 11th April, 2015 and vote for Mr. Akinwunmi Amobode, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and all the party's candidates for the House of Assembly.
Agbede who gave the directive yesterday while addressing branch officers from all the 120 branches of the union drawn from all the 57 local councils in Lagos during the monthly meeting of the union at their Abule Egba office directed that all commuter bus drivers, motorcycle operators and tricycle owners (Keke Marwa) under the umbrella of the union in the state must vote APC candidates in the 11th April elections.
He said members of the union must support the APC because the people of Lagos have really enjoyed dividends of democracy and good governance; hence the need to show solidarity with the party, explaining that some of the policies of the present administration in the state had helped to boost transport business.
Alhaji Agbede who emphasized that the introduction of transport radio has helped to reduce traffic congestion and loss of time in traffic added, "Also, the constant repair and maintenance of roads have helped to reduce wear and tear of vehicles".
"The state government usually responds by fixing bad roads through it agencies. This has really helped to reduce wear and tear on our vehicles. And this has also helped to reduce the number of days we visit mechanics, hence our decision to support the party for continuity in the state," Agbede stated.
He reiterated that the state council of the union under his leadership will continue to support the government of the state, saying "We are partners in progress with the government, hence the directive to members to reciprocate the gesture of the party during the 11 April governorship election by voting Ambode and all APC House of Assembly candidates.

Man dies after double stabbing near London Tube station
A 24-year-old man was fatally stabbed at Elephant and Castle station. Picture: PA
By Nick Hardinges
@NHardinges
A 24-year-old man was knifed to death and another man is in serious condition after an attack at a south London Tube station.
Police have launched a murder investigation after the victim was fatally stabbed on Sunday night.
The 24-year-old, who is yet to be named, was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead this morning whilst the 25-year-old remains in a serious condition.
British Transport Police were called to the scene at about 23:30 where officers arrested two men on suspicion of violent disorder and they are now being questioned in custody.
Officers believe the incident was a result of a fight between two groups of men and said they were treating the death as a murder.
Officers were called to the scene at about 23:30 Sunday night. Picture: PA
Elephant and Castle resident Keylin Tejeda, 32, said she knew one of the victims as they were a regular customer at her shop El Monte.
She said: "I was coming from a restaurant with my partner around 11 and when we were passing by we saw him lying down. I could see who he was, I saw him.
"The ambulance (team) were operating on him on the floor."
Police have today stepped up their presence in the area and are on "reassurance patrols" in and around the tube station to ensure commuters feel safe.
The fatal stabbing is believed to have been the result of an altercation. Picture: PA
Detective Chief Inspector Sam Blackburn said: "This was a shocking act of violence and we are working tirelessly to identify and trace those responsible.
"While the investigation is still at an early stage, at this time we believe there was an altercation between two groups of men inside the Underground station and it is here the victims sustained their injuries before making their way onto the street.
"I would urge anyone who hasn't already spoken with police to get in touch with us as soon as possible by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 597 of 01/09/19. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
Transport for London confirmed that both the station and local bus stops are now fully open and functioning at normal capacity.

Ketel Marte's breakout keeps moving forward
He's knocking at the door of stardom

Share All sharing options for: Ketel Marte's breakout keeps moving forward

Following the growth and development of good young players is one of the greatest joys I get from watching baseball. Not every player who ends up being above average or even an all star level performer breaks on the scene at that level. In fact for most, it takes time. We try to glean insights into what the player is doing and has done in the past , and use that to project what they may become. Those in the scouting community utilize their skills as players and/or observers of the game. From their unique professional perspective and experience they try to project which players will achieve MLB level play and which players will be future stars. Those in the analytics community try to do the same, but using a very different skill set. The less data there is, the more we must depend on the artistry of scouting to inform us. The more data there is on a player the more we begin to rely on those results to extrapolate a player's future. In the best of worlds, both disciplines inform, compliment, overlap, and edify each other, creating the basis for the best possible decisions on the part of a front office, and the best understanding and enjoyment on the part of fans.
Back on August 1, Sean wrote an excellent article about Marte's power breaking out. Strongly suggest everyone goes back to review that. The essence was that through his batted ball data we could see he was hitting the ball very hard, his results were improving, and if he continued on that path, he could possibly achieve all star levels. But he had a ways to go yet. Inconsistency with batted ball profile was highlighted. However Sean's presentation of the data supported what has becoming evident from observation. Ketel Marte hits the ball really hard when he's going right. Last night, we received some more evidence:
Ketel Marte's night so far: game-tying triple, go-ahead home run. pic.twitter.com/vLtsXQxLWv
— FOX Sports Arizona (@FOXSPORTSAZ) September 25, 2018
As I posted on Twitter and in the game thread, that homerun was not your typical homer. It was a line shot with a launch angle of just 22 degrees and an exit velocity of 111 MPH that went 455 feet ! This is where observation perfectly meets data. My jaw dropped watching that ball get out and smash against the back wall behind the bleachers in LCF. That was NOT a normal homerun. And below is the data to prove it. Thanks to Jim with the quick statcast search, we were able to find out there have only been 5 other HR this year in all of MLB that were hit that low and went that far.
Ok, it's pretty well established that Marte has more than just a little "pop" in his bat. He has 50 extra base hits on the year. (25 Doubles, MLB leading 12 Triples, and 13 Homeruns)
I've been telling anyone who will listen that if Ketel can lower his GB% just a little bit more without sacrificing contact rates, he's going to be an all star. So how close is he getting to that ? Perhaps closer than most people realize.
First take a look at some very basic batted ball and contact/plate discipline number splits
So you don't need to be a stat maven to see whats happening here. He's reduced his GB% tremendously, almost getting it down to league avg. He's done that while at the same time hitting the ball harder. And his K rate has stayed virtually the same, but he's actually improved his walk rate. Those are all some pretty drastic improvements that should make anyone sit up and take notice, and should result in drastic improvement in his overall "results" numbers'
Raise your hand if you are surprised to see that since June 1 Ketel Marte has a .862 OPS. Hey, you in the back...don't be shy...lets see that hand. Sure, it's a selective begin and end point I am using. But we are talking about the development of a young player, and the improvement in the results is directly correlated to the improvement in his swing and batted ball profile, all while maintaining excellent, well above average contact and BB/K ratio. This is pretty special stuff folks.
Just to put this in further context, compared to other 2b, SS, & 3b, i.e. non first base infielders, minimum 300 PA since June 1, he ranks 10th in OPS and 14th in wRC+ in all of MLB over this 4 month period. Just look at the names just above and below him. Had the script been flipped, and he started off the season with these first 4 months, HE would have been the all star, and Jean Segura with his .692 OPS during this time would be considered the overpaid and disappointing player in the infamous trade that Mike Hazen is much maligned over. (Again....if you had Mitch Haniger pegged to be an all star please raise your hand......anyone ...Buehler......anyone....)
DEFENSE and Baserunning:
On top of all the hitting data, it's really important to note that Marte has played very good defense this year. In 956 Innings at 2b, His .992 flg % is second only behind DJ LeMahieu among qualified NL 2b, and his 5 defensive runs saved ranks 6th in the NL among 2b. He also chipped in 205 innings of league average SS play so far as well (0 rDRS).
He doesn't steal much, (6 SB, 1 CS) and his 10 Outs On Base this year are a few too high. But his his Extra bases Taken % of 54 is above average, and overall his linear weights baserunning runs were +2. So base running is still an asset, but with his speed, it could be even more so with a few better decisions and perhaps a few more steals.
These are mostly just for fun, and I've posted similar before, but click through HERE
That link will take you to comprehensive comparisons between Marte and Segura, Didi Gregorious, and Jimmy Rollins at same or similar age and/or playing time. (I used through age 25 for Didi to make the comp more meaningful as he got a later start due to where he came from).
Of course these comps don't mean that Marte will reach the all star levels those three players have. But it's still instructive. Be sure to look over not just the batting tables, but the value tables, and also the ratio stats to get a better sense of where these players are similar, and where they are different and what their relative strengths and weaknesses were through similar points in their careers.
Now there are several important caveats, or "counter points" to note with regards to Marte, and I would be remiss not to mention them.
Caveat 1.) He still has a big split this year betting left and right and even since June 1:
As LHB .227/.306/.384 .690 OPS , 49% GB
As RHB .370/.444/.731, 1.174 OPS 44% GB
But I'm not overly worried about him correcting that. Some of it is flukey. He's not THAT good batting right handed and in fact prior to 2018 was much better than that batting left handed. More likely than not there will be some regression to both sides.
As LHB .281./334/.371 .705 OPS
As RHB .235/.290/.342 .632 OPS
Caveat 2.) His "clutch" metrics are not good this year. Whether you are looking at
Batting w/ RISP
Batting w/ 2 out RISP
Late and Close
It all points to a guy that struggled in the most important situations this year. And it was evident from watching. In the biggest moments he often seemed to have his most impatient at bats and worst swings and results. But context is important too. MOST hitters are worse w /2 Out RISP and Late and Close for example. And his own track record suggests he's done better in most of these categories previously in his career. "Clutch" exists, it's just not static. It changes over time as players are human. It's also impossible to predict or project because the sample sizes are small. Most of the time guys that are anointed clutch Gods relative to their overall performance regress back towards their overall averages as their career progresses, and guys that may struggle in these situations early in their career and get labeled as chokers will improve those numbers if given the chance. When you look up after 5000 at bats, 80-90% of players are in tight range of their overall numbers.
BUT there is selection bias afoot there too, and we saw it down the stretch as Torey sat Marte more frequently for Descalso, despite the fact that Marte blew Descalso away from June 1 onwards. (DD hit just .224/.356/.393 since June 1)
Caveat 3.) There might be some lingering questions about Ketel's maturity and focus on the things that matter. After signing his extension, he came to camp all full of bling, chains, wild shoes, etc. He also had somewhat of a "posse" following him around. At one point it was something one of the coaches had to speak with him about, and encourage him to settle down. Still, the profile of him on TV recently was more like an MTV Cribs episode as it was all about his "stuff". So far, none of that seems to have impacted his work ethic or hustle or any of that. And clearly his improvement as a player has been dynamic. But sometimes when a player is too flashy and showy, it makes it harder for them when they hit the down times.
It may not be a real issue, but I thought it worth mentioning. Although I am not judgmental about younger people expressing themselves in any way that suits them and their personality, it's important to recognize that this is something that could work against him in the baseball world. It's most likely something that won't really help him on the field. At the same time, he looks like a good dad, a good person from what I can see and hear from the outside looking in. I don't know him personally. He appears to be a hard worker. He was serious in the off season with his workouts, and he has improved his game tremendously. And thats all that really matters when it comes to evaluating him as a player.
Will he be an all star next year or the year after ? He's not quite there yet. This game is built on sustained success over a FULL season, and MULTIPLE seasons. (At both the individual and team level). But he's knocking on the door, real real HARD.

www.internetkeywords.org - Ps4 Isn T Connecting To Internet. The use of internet nowadays has really upstaged all the habits in the world that we used to know. In fact, it already became a part of the daily routine for most people to the point that their day is incomplete without even checking their emails, updating Facebook status, browsing for the latest news and trends, or even playing a single online game. Indeed, it has greatly influenced today's lifestyles.
Verdict. The PS4 Pro is the undisputed console champ no longer, but if you're looking for a step up into 4K gaming, it's still the best deal in town.. An Internet service provider (ISP) is a type of company that provides the capability to access the internet. There are different forms of Internet service provider or ISP such as commercial, community-owned and privately owned. It is necessary to carefully choose the type of Internet service that these companies offer. There are many ways from which you can connect to the internet but it depends whether it is available in your area. At present, most ISP's use dial-up or DSL, cable television line or satellite connection to connect to the internet.
Connected to Ps4 Isn T Connecting To Internet, What is Satellite Internet? Getting high speed internet through satellite is called as satellite internet. Satellite internet is much faster than DSL or cable internet.
The internet is rife with many facets of culture that crisscross international boundaries. Most people are restricted by physical movement, but the internet allows us all to interact in a platform that allows for seamless data transition and analysis. This is why culture change and creation is instantaneous and on going on the internet. Lets look at several ways internet culture has been embraced and what the future of internet looks like. This is often similar to Ps4 Isn T Connecting To Internet.

Guidelines for the Reproducibility of Biophysics Research
by biofisica · 07/03/2017
Updated July 2015
The Biophysical Society, publisher of Biophysical Journal (BJ), agrees fully with the intent of the National Institutes of Health's Principles and Guidelines for Reporting Preclinical Research to encourage reproducible, robust, and transparent research. The two basic principles underlying these Guidelines are the following:
First, research results should be reported with sufficient clarity and detail to ensure that the study can be replicated in any laboratory.
Second, data and material produced during the research leading to a published study should be readily disseminated and openly accessible, whenever feasible (e.g., by depositing the information in a public, community-endorsed database [see below], by including it in the online Supporting Material accompanying the article, or by posting it on the author[s]' website).
By submitting a manuscript to BJ, the authors agree to adhere to these fundamental principles.
Adherence to these principles requires attention to the points listed below, where the specific guidelines will continue to evolve as new community standards emerge.
1. RIGOROUS STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Any statistical analysis must be checked for accuracy by the authors; if statistical software is used, the source (including version number) of the tools must be listed in Materials and Methods. Authors are strongly encouraged to seek the assistance of a statistician at their institution or elsewhere; if they seek such advice, the resource should be identified in the letter of submission.
Statistics should be fully reported in the manuscript/article, including the statistical test used, exact value of N and the definitions of center and dispersion and the precision measures (e.g., mean, median, SD, SEM, confidence intervals). Manuscripts that report results based on the analysis of large data sets, such as Genomic, GWAS and NextGen Sequencing-based studies are required to specify in detail how the statistical analyses were done.
2. TRANSPARENCY AND REPRODUCIBILITY
BJ has no page limitations for research articles and allows for the submission of online Supporting Material. To ensure that published studies can be replicated, authors should adhere to the following standards:
Describe Materials and Methods in sufficient detail to enable researchers in other laboratories to reproduce the experiments described in the manuscript.
Use the generally accepted nomenclature in their field; define all non-standard terms.
Report how often each experiment was replicated and, where applicable, whether the results were substantiated by replication over a range of conditions. Provide sufficient information to allow readers to distinguish between independent data points and technical replicates.
Where applicable, state whether the samples were randomized and, if so, the method of randomization.
Where applicable, state whether the experiments were blinded and, if so, how.
Where applicable, specify whether the authors undertook a sample-size estimate when planning the study and, if so, how.
In manuscripts that report the development of novel chemical tools, or the use of known compounds, the authors should use systemic nomenclature to refer to the compounds, based on the guidelines developed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC); informal common names, such as dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, cholesterol or sucrose, are also acceptable. In the case of novel chemical tools, the authors are required to provide the exact structures of the compounds (prepared according to the IUPAC recommendations) and are encouraged to explain how each reported chemical structure was identified according to established standards in the field.
3. DATA AND IMAGE PROCESSING
Authors should make every attempt to minimize the post-acquisition processing of data. Some degree of processing may be unavoidable and is permitted provided that the processing procedure is described and the final data accurately reflect the original. In the case of image processing, alterations must be applied to the entire image (e.g., brightness, contrast, color balance). In case this is not possible (e.g., alterations to a single color channel on a microscopy image), any alterations must be clearly stated in the figure legend and in the Materials and Methods section. Groupings and consolidation of data (e.g., cropping of images or removal of lanes from gels and blots) must be explicitly indicated in the appropriate figure and figure legends.
Data comparisons should only be made among comparative experiments, and individual data should not be reused across multiple figures. When data are used multiple times (e.g., multiple experiments were performed simultaneously with a single control experiment), this must be clearly stated in each figure legend.
If it is deemed necessary for proper evaluation of the manuscript, authors will be required to make the original unprocessed data available to the handling editor. The figures in all accepted manuscripts will be examined before publication.
4. MATERIALS AND DATA AVAILABILITY
One of the terms and conditions of publishing in BJ is that authors agree to distribute materials (cells, DNA, antibodies, reagents, organisms and software) and protocols developed during the course of published studies, as well as the data that were generated, to qualified researchers for their own use.
Materials and protocols should be made available with minimal restrictions and in a timely manner, but it is acceptable to request reasonable payment to cover the cost of maintenance and transport of materials. Exceptions to this would include cases where supplies of purified proteins or reagents are highly limited, or where the transfer would violate compliance considerations. Other exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the Editors. Whenever feasible, data sets should be made available to readers from the date of publication, and must be provided to the handling editor upon request for the purpose of evaluating the manuscript.
Articles in BJ are based on many different kinds of data, and community-endorsed data standards and public repositories are not available for all types of data sets. When there are community-endorsed standards and repositories, the full data set must be submitted to an appropriate repository, and accession numbers must be provided in the article.
Examples of data sets and public repositories are listed below (The list of repositories is not intended to be complete and authors may deposit their data in public repositories not listed below, as long they state where the data are deposited).
STRUCTURES OF BIOLOGICAL MACROMOLECULES
The atomic coordinates and related experimental data (structure factor amplitudes/intensities and/or NMR restraints) must be deposited at a member site of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB). Authors must agree to release the atomic coordinates and experimental data when the associated article is published.
For manuscripts reporting electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) density maps and fitted coordinates, authors are encouraged to include with their submission either maps and coordinates, or a movie that shows an interactive session describing the map and the fit of the model in sufficient detail. Authors must agree to make the images and relevant metadata needed to reproduce a published EM reconstruction available when the article is published, preferably by depositing in the Electron Microscopy Pilot Image Archive (EMPIAR) or upon reasonable request. Cryo-EM-derived density maps must be deposited into the EMDataBank (EMDB), through one of the partner sites (EM Data Bank in Europe or EMDataBank). Atomic coordinates fitted to EM maps must also be deposited to a wwPDB member site. If an article discusses a protein structure only at the level of the main chain alpha carbon atoms, only alpha carbon coordinates need be deposited. If the discussion involves higher‐resolution data, a full coordinate list must be deposited.
BJ encourages authors to deposit the information before the manuscript is submitted because the corresponding database IDs must be included in the manuscript, and the handling editor should be informed no later than the completion of the editorial process that the necessary information has been sent to the appropriate data bank. BJ recommends that authors include the PDB validation report as part of the online Supporting Material for all new submissions describing results of X-ray and NMR structure determination.
For articles that include NMR spectra, authors must deposit the chemical shifts, coupling constants, relaxation data and other relevant data in the Biological Magnetic Resonance Data Bank (BMRDB) prior to submission of the manuscript and include the BMRDB-ID in the manuscript.
For articles that include circular dichroism spectra of proteins, authors must deposit the raw, processed, and metadata in the Protein Circular Dichroism Data Bank (PCDDB) prior to submission of the manuscript and to include the PCDDB-ID in the manuscript.
SMALL MOLECULE STRUCTURES
The atomic coordinates and related experimental data (structure factor amplitudes/intensities and/or NMR restraints) of small molecules (lipids, amino acids, and other biologically active small molecules including drugs) must be deposited in the database maintained by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). Authors must agree to release the atomic coordinates and experimental data when the associated article is published.
DNA AND PROTEIN SEQUENCES
Authors must deposit their sequence data in the appropriate database among the following:
Protein sequences: UniProt
DNA and RNA sequences: GenBank, European Nucleotide Archive (ENA), DDBJ, Protein Data Bank, UniProt.
DNA sequencing data (traces and short reads): NCBI Trace and Short-Read Archive, ENA's Sequence Read Archive.
Deep sequencing data: deposit in GEO or ArrayExpress upon submission to the journal.
The sequences of all RNAi, antisense, and morpholino probes must be included in the article or deposited in a public database with the accession number provided in the article.
Human genomic data containing newly described SNPs and CNVs identified in control samples must be deposited in an appropriate repository such as dbSNP, the Database of Genomic Variants Archive (DGVa) or the Database of Genomic Structural Variation (dbVAR).
Articles based on genomic data generated from HeLa cells must comply with the NIH HeLa Genome Data Use Agreement, by affirming that the NIH has approved use of the data and acknowledging the contributions of Henrietta Lacks and her family to the research.
PROTEOMICS AND PROTEIN INTERACTIONS DATA
Authors must deposit their data in the appropriate database among the following:
PRIDE, PeptideAtlas.
The IMEx consortium of databases.
CHEMICAL COMPOUND SCREENING
The PubChem databse should be used.
COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEMS AND PHYSIOLOGICAL MODELS
SBML and CELLML are two emerging standards for encoding computational models related to systems biology and physiology. To assure public access to such computational models, authors should, where applicable, deposit their models in the CellML Model Repository or the Biomodels Database. Other public databases for models developed in NEURON or VCell should also be utilized where applicable. When this is not possible (e.g., in the case of MatLab or other code), authors should include their model code as a file in the online Supporting Material.
CELL IMAGING DATA
Currently, there is no community-endorsed repository of cell imaging data. If practical, raw image data should be made available as supporting material. Also, authors should, where applicable, make the image processing code available, preferably as a plug-in to open source software such as ImageJ or Python.
Authors must declare the location and accessibility of any custom code and software central to the main claims of their paper. We recommend deposition of source code GitHub together with a listing on Zenodo, which will assign a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to make the upload uniquely citeable; this DOI should be reported in the manuscript.
The standards for the public deposition of data continue to evolve, and the above list will be revised at regular intervals. If there is no community-agreed-upon format (such as for imaging, molecular dynamics, electrophysiology, and single-molecule studies), if there is no public repository, or if the data sets are too large to submit to the journal online, authors are encouraged to make the data available on request.
5. CONSIDERATION OF REFUTATIONS
It is the policy of BJ that, once it has published an article, it accepts responsibility to consider for publication manuscripts that refute the interpretations of the results in the original article according to the Journal's established standards for evaluating the suitability.

Q. I need help practicing for my math placement exam and was looking for the Schaums Series Study Guide. Does UNO have it in the library?
We have some of the Schaum's guides. I checked and we do have Schaum's outline of theory and problems of college mathematics (see http://catalog.lib.unomaha.edu/record=b2212385*eng) as an ebook. However, you would need to be a current student or staff member of UNO to access it from off campus.
If you come to the library in person, you could access it from one of our public computer stations. You could also access one of our databases with practice tests for standardized tests. Neither of them include Schaum's guides but they do have mathematics practice tests and guides for the CLEP and AP programs that might be helpful.
If you live in Omaha, the Omaha Public Library has the LearningExpressLibrary database that has practice tests for CLEP and AP that might also be helpful to you.

Our goal at EVMS is to create learning experiences that engage learners so that they invest themselves in study, summary, paraphrasing, outlining, note taking, practice, listening, discussion, debate, argument, theorizing, discovery, and fruitful experience. At the end of the day, learning is something the learner must do. Getting all of our students to engage and actively grapple with the topic at hand is difficult, especially in those situations where there may be over 200 students in a class.
In the instructional systems model, the defined outcomes--the objectives--are clearly articulated at the beginning of the design process. These objectives can then be put together to make up the test for this training. This test is developed prior to designing the instruction. Then, all of the subsequent design and development is aimed at teaching learners the knowledge and skills they need to do well on the test. In a very real sense, we are training students to the test. The key to this working is that the test must be a valid and reliable measure of the skills and knowledge that is really needed.


The following plot shows the latest forecast for the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) Index from the Bureau of Meteorology's seasonal prediction system POAMA (Predictive Ocean Atmosphere Model for Australia). The GBR Index is defined as the spatial average of sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) in the Great Barrier Reef region and has been shown to be a useful indicator of mean conditions in the area.
This forecast is generated operationally by the Bureau's National Meteorological and Oceanographic Centre (NMOC) and updated online twice a week. The forecast presented shows the ensemble mean (black), with the distribution by quartiles of the ensemble composed of 33 members. Also shown are the individual ensemble members (grey). SSTA are calculated as the difference between sea surface temperature (SST) values and the 1982-2010 climatology, the monthly long term mean SST. To view the forecast as a series of pie charts, see the POAMA experimental pages listed below.

Like most online companies we rely on (3rd party) courier companies to deliver all our orders around the country. As much as we would love to get our products in the hands of as many people as possible the cost of getting our coops to anyone who lives outside mainland England and Wales is prohibitive - sometimes more than the actual cost of the product!
Do you deliver to America, Europe, N.Ireland, Channel Islands?
Can you deliver in the morning/afternoon/evening?
Can you deliver my order on the weekend?
Can a specific day be requested for delivery? Can you hold onto my order?
What happens if I'm not at home to take delivery?
What happens if I receive my order and it is damaged?
I need to report a faulty part/product.
I would like to return a product?

Urine is medically defined as a liquid by-product of the body secreted by the kidneys through a process called urination (or micturition) and excreted through the urethra.
A change in urine color can be stressful for patients and doctors alike. A lot of the reasons for abnormal urine color are benign impacts of medications and foods; nevertheless, a modification in urine color may be a sign of an underlying pathological condition. The good news is that in many cases the diagnosis can be identified from a thorough history and urinalysis. This post provides a lot of the conditions physicians might encounter and will help them form a slim differential diagnosis and treatment plan.
Ubnormal urine color can be upsetting to patients, their relative, and clinicians alike. Patients anticipate a description for any modifications in the color of their urine, and truly so. Unfortunately, little initial research exists relating to urine staining. Much of the info comes from case credit reports. Additional complicating the issue is that there is no goal, standardized way to explain urine color, according to iytmed.com. One person may use the term "dark" to explain findings without fully defining the term to imply either a bolder shade of yellow, muddy brown, orange, and even a crimson red (check out urine color chart below).
More than 20 years earlier, the Southern Medical Journal published a review article on the differential diagnosis of numerous urine colors. Although beneficial at that time, clinicians are not likely to perform benchtop chemistry tests such as adding hypochlorite bleach to urine samples to determine the existence of aminosalicylic acid. The present review efforts to list a number of the conditions physicians may encounter and help them form a narrow differential medical diagnosis and treatment plan.
The first issue we encounter with word "red" is that the term is broad enough to incorporate the colors pink, tones of red, orange, brown, or black, depending on which clinician views the sample. Whenever a patient establishes red urine, the doctor needs always to order a urine dipstick and urinalysis to look for the existence of red blood cells or hemoglobin. If blood is genuinely present, then the differential is broad and consists of conditions of the kidney gathering system and hematologic system, and contamination from menstrual blood. Added workup will be guided depending on the patient's history and physical examination. A computed tomography scan may illuminate an anatomical problem such as entrapment of the left renal vein between the exceptional mesenteric artery and the aorta, typically called Nutcracker syndrome. A transfusion reaction, glucose-6 -phosphate dehydrogenase shortage, sickle cell anemia, or thalassemia can result in hemolytic anemia and darken the urine to a deep reddish color.
Even without the presence of blood, dark red urine might be an ominous sign. The classification of illness collectively referred to as porphyria can provide dark urine, abdominal pain, photosensitive rashes, or neuropsychiatric complaints. The disease is difficult to identify since it is rare. Also, lots of medical facility laboratories are ill geared up to perform porphyrin analysis on urine, further delaying treatment.
A fairly brand-new development in US toxicology practice is the use of hydroxocobalamin for cyanide poisoning. The traditional treatments for cyanide poisoning– amyl nitrite, salt nitrite, and sodium thiosulfate– can induce methemoglobinemia, additional minimizing the oxygen-carrying ability of red cell. Hydroxocobalamin works by integrating with cyanide to form cyanocobalamin (vitamin B). An unintended yet benign effect of its administration is to color the skin and urine red. The results usually wear away after a few days.
Other medications related to red urine development include warfarin, phenazopyridine, rifampin, ibuprofen, and deferoxamine. Specific foods such as carrots (carotene), blackberries, and beets can sometimes cause red urine. Curiously, beeturia appears to be connected to the co-ingestion of oxalate-containing foods such as rhubarb, spinach, and oysters.
Finally, a patient with factitious disorder might provide with red urine from including blood or another red-colored material straight to his or her sample. These patients may provide with otherwise nonspecific complaints and will go through an extensive however useless workup. Malingering is hard to diagnose and may require repeat urine samples gotten under direct observation to discover the condition lastly.
Continuing along the spectrum of red conditions, orange urine might be a manifestation of one of the above-named conditions or ingested drugs such as high-dose riboflavin, phenazopyridine, and isoniazid. According to one study, 50% of isoniazid users will notice staining, making the finding common but insensitive when checking for compliance. The discovery is harmless and requires no further workup if there are no extra problems.
Oddly, one case credit report points out an infant with orange urine caused by a urinary tract infection. The apparent cause was a Gram-negative bacillus that produces indole from tryptophan. The conclusion reached by the authors is strange because indole reactions typically produce blue, green, or purple urine.
As red urine ends up being darker, some clinicians might analyze the color as brown. As an outcome, any of the conditions or ingestions listed above ought to be thought about whenever a sample is thought to be brown. In the 1980s, a case series on acetaminophen overdose demonstrated that in addition to hepatorenal failure, three patients established brown urine since of the accumulation of the metabolite p-aminophenol.
Brown urine might be a sign of melanocytes in the urinary system. Metastatic melanoma can cause an uncommon condition called diffuse melanosis, triggering dark skin, remote sores to the internal organs, and brown or black urine. One case credit report points out a patient with severe kidney injury from melanin build-up in the tubular system. The diagnosis is poor at this moment.
Black urine rounds out the discussion of reasons for reddish urine discoloration. A lot of the conditions noted above can provide with black urine if the discoloration is dark enough; nevertheless, several of the conditions listed below are unsafe sufficient that the existence of black urine requires additional workup. Example causes include metronidazole, nitrofurantoin, cascara or senna laxatives, methocarbamol, sorbitol, and the phenol acquired cresol, a common disinfectant consumed by problem drinkers, which typically is devastating and causes severe systemic toxicity. Intramuscular iron injections are commonly associated with black urine as a good impact of the medication.
Patients, in this case, require peace of mind. The presence of melanin in the urine can cause brown discoloration, as talked about above, or with a black tint. Methyldopa and L-dopa can induce urinary melanin in alkalotic urine, which is a known adverse impact of these medications. Alcaptonuria is an uncommon hereditary disease in which the body has a damaged ability to catabolize tyrosine, leading to a build-up of homogentisic acid in the body. It presents clinically with arthritis and darkening of the skin and urine. The medical diagnosis is made by determining homogentisic acid in the urine. There is no cure, nevertheless, and treatment consists of high-dose vitamin C and restricting protein intake.
Blue urine most typically appears to be caused by ingestion of methylene blue. This compound is made use of in the United States for diagnostic tests, treatment of methemoglobinemia, or as a treatment for refractory hypotension. Outside the country, nevertheless, oral methylene blue might be discovered in medications and home solutions because it has antimicrobial homes. Real blue urine seems to be exceedingly uncommon, potentially since blue pigments integrate with urochrome, the significant contributor to urine's normal yellow tone, to develop a green color before urine's elimination. In that regard, there are lots of case files where methylene blue turns urine green.
Other medications related to green urine might consist of phenol groups and include promethazine, thymol, cimetidine, and propofol. The system of action seems caused by phenol's conjugation by the liver and subsequent excretion by the kidneys. The stamina of the green appears to be dose associated. Strangely enough, propofol also is associated with pink and white urine.
Some nonphenol drugs kept in mind to produce green urine are metoclopramide, amitriptyline, and indomethacin. In any event, the urinary findings of all of the above medications are good effects and do not get further workup as soon as urinalysis results are typical.
There are separated case files of parenteral absorption of tetrahydronaphthalene (Cuprex), a pesticide that was made use of in the 1980s as a non-prescription treatment for lice, and consumptions of the herbicides mefenaceta and imazosulfuro producing green urine. A patient who has actually can be found in contact with these compounds must be dealt with as if he or she were poisoned and deserved full toxicology workup, stabilization, and possible admission to the excellent care device.
In the necessary care setting, patients receiving enteral tube feeds have on event been noted to produce green urine. The belief is that the food coloring additive Food Dye and Color Blue Number 1 (FD&C Blue No. 1) is taken in from the gastrointestinal (GI) system in sufficiently high concentrations to cause dark green urine. In animal designs, > 1 % of FD&C Blue No. 1 is discovered in rat urine. This finding is harmless and vanishes with changes in tube feeds.
Not all reasons for green urine are innocuous, however. Pseudomonas-causing bacteremia and urinary system infections can provide with green urine. In this case, the patient's history and physical exam ought to indicate an infectious condition and urine and blood cultures may make the diagnosis. Treatment is centered on clearing the infection instead of on urine color.
Bile pigments in the urine represent a rare but worrisome cause of staining. Upon finding biliverdin, clinicians have to take a careful and thorough history to identify the area of the leak. Radiographs or invasive imaging may even be required. A case credit report of an enterovesical fistula triggered by pelvic radiation treatment offers one such source of bile. Other rarer causes of blue and green urine consist of conditions that impair amino acid absorption from the GI system.
Blue diaper syndrome and Hartnup illness are autosomal recessive disorders in which tryptophan develops in the GI tract, triggering germs to metabolize it to indole, resulting in a buildup of indican in the urine. The blue coloring by itself is not dangerous; however it does indicate another underlying condition that needs investigation.
The just known cause of purple urine is purple urine bag syndrome. This usually benign condition is believed to arise from a series of actions in which tryptophan in the GI system is transformed to indole, the liver then metabolizes the indole and excreted by the kidneys, and the end product goes through change by bacteria in the urine to develop indigo (a blue pigment) and indirubin (a red pigment). These pigments combine to form purple urine that then stains the polyvinylchloride of a Foley catheter. Purple urine is connected with Gram-negative bacteriuria and usually fixes after treatment with prescription antibiotics and changing the catheter.
Albinuria has an extensive differential diagnosis and requires a more comprehensive investigation beyond an easy urinalysis. Sediment from minerals in the urine such as hypercalciuria, phosphaturia, or hyperoxaluria occasionally can be discovered after centrifugation and analysis. Consultation with a nephrologist is recommended at this moment since modifications in dietary intake, and medication initiation may be needed. Severe urinary tract infection is one possible cause of white urine because purulent fluid might get in the bladder. Also, caseous material from urinary tuberculosis commonly must be amused. Mindful urine culture is required, followed by antibiotic therapy.
Chyluria is another possible diagnosis. It emerges from irregular communication between the lymphatics to the urinary tract, a lot of frequently as an outcome of filariasis, however typically can be the outcome of a lymphatic fistula. Antiparasitic drugs are of no benefit since this point usually sterilizes the urine. Recommendation to a urologist is required because the patient might need intervention to close the communication.
Kidneys: In your lifetime, your kidneys filter more than one million gallons of water, enough to fill a pond. Remarkably, one kidney can handle the task perfectly well. In truth, if you lose a kidney, your staying kidney can increase in size by 50 percent within two months, to take control of the job of both.
Consistency: About 91-96% of urine consists of water. Urine likewise contains a variety of inorganic salts and organic compounds, including proteins, hormones, and a wide range of metabolites, varying by what is introduced into the body.
Urine Production: The typical urine production in adult humans is around 1.4 L of urine per individual daily with a standard variety of 0.6 to 2.6 L per individual each day, produced in about 6 to 8 urinations daily depending on state of hydration, activity level, ecological elements, weight, and the person's health. Producing excessive or insufficient urine requires medical attention.
Density: Human urine has a particular gravity of 1.003 – 1.035. Variances may be associated with urinary disorders.
Urine pH Levels: The pH level of human urine is generally within the range of 5.5 to 7 with an average of 6.2.
Urinalysis: A urinalysis (UA), also referred to like routine and microscopy (R&M), is an array of tests carried out on urine, and one of the most typical techniques of medical diagnosis. A part of a urinalysis can be carried out by utilizing home urine test strips, in which the test results can be read as their color changes. A urinalysis checks appearance, concentration and material of urine and is used to discover and/or manage an extensive range of medical conditions, such as urinary tract infections (UTI's), kidney disease and diabetes and if specific compounds are present, or if certain levels are above, or below, normal which can indicate the presence of compounds like proteins, ketones, hemoglobin, and nitrites, as well as hazardous pathogens.
Compounds: In a study, scientists discovered that a minimum of 3,079 compounds could be found in urine. 72 of these compounds are made by germs, while 1,453 come from the body itself. Another 2,282 originated from a diet, drugs, cosmetics or direct environmental exposure (some substances come from more than one group).
A change in urine color can be upsetting for patients, their relative, and clinicians alike. You can ask reasonable question as 'what is my pee color meaning?" This article presented a lot of the possible causes of urine staining. Fortunately, many of these causes are benign results and can be clarified from a comprehensive history. At a minimum, nevertheless, physicians should order a urinalysis when confronted with an irregular urine color due to the fact that potential pathologies do exist.
1. Dehydration -work behind a computer and drink great deals of water so I don't believe this is it.
3. Kidney concerns – I understand kidney concerns prevail amount diabetics, however I keep my BS down and am still reasonably young with the disease … is kidney problems unprecedented at my age?
I understand everyone will state go to the doctor (which I am going to do this week) however I wished to get some first hand guidance on it from others while waiting for my appointment.
When you awaken in the morning, your urine color will usually be darker. However if your urine is still dark towards the afternoon, it might be numerous things – dehydration, metabolic issues, dyes in foods, etc.

When Qatari textbooks approve of Hitler's attitude towards the Jews!
Ian Hamel (*)
Qatari students learn that the Jews, by "manipulating economic markets and accumulating immense wealth", ruined Germany after World War I. It was therefore logical that the Führer made them pay dearly for their infamous betrayal. Or how to be brought up in antisemitism from childhood to adolescence.
In "Mein Kampf", published in 1925, the future German dictator referred to the work "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion", a fake, imagined in 1902 in Tsarist Russia, which recounts a plan for world domination by Jews and freemasons. "The Protocols", translated into German in 1909, allowed Hitler to justify the Jewish conspiracy theory. And later the extermination of six million Jews. Although Qatari schoolbooks are inspired by the "Protocols", they do not mention the Holocaust, and therefore do not endorse it. However, they do evoke the hatred of Nazi Germany against the European Jewish populations. And, without much restraint, they proved the Third Reich right.
This is what we learn from a 128-page report entitled "Understanding Qatari Ambition. The Curriculum 2016-20", produced by the Israeli NGO IMPACT-se (Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education). Based on the international standards for peace and tolerance, defined by UNESCO, IMPACT-se has specialized in research, translation and denunciation of intolerance in school textbooks in the Middle East. The NGO examined 238 Qatari textbooks used by students enrolled in twelve different levels between 2016 and 2020. To put it simply, as summarized in the Jerusalem Post of 26 August 2020, in schools in Qatar, Jews are systematically presented as "villains" and "immoral".
The "traitor and conspirator" Jew
The NGO does not challenge the right of an Arab country to denounce the Israeli policy, especially towards the Palestinians. On the other hand, IMPACT is outraged by the way the gas emirate educates its children with regard to religion, societies, cultures, democratic values and above all the other. Clearly, attacking a State, even an enemy State, does not allow for racist opinions to be expressed about its inhabitants and for the systematic development of untruths. According to Qatari schoolbooks, Jews are capable of anything. Starting with "taking possession of (Muslim) women through the media and money".
Qatari pupils also learn that Jews have "bad morals", that they are "treacherous", and most of them are "immoral". They have "corrupt behavior". And in the time of the Prophet, the Jews behaved as "traitors and schemers".
Qatar's educational programmes apparently struggle with historical truth. They claim that the Canaanites, understand the people of Canaan, are Arabs. This region, located along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, more or less corresponds today to the territories comprising the State of Israel, Palestine, western Jordan, Lebanon, and western Syria. Well, according to Qatar's National Education, "the Canaanites were in fact Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula who settled on the land in 6,000 BC, while the Jews did not arrive until 1,400 BC".
Even more irrational, the little Qatari children learn that "Jesus invited his nation to worship Allah", and that for this reason the Jews decided to kill Jesus! "However, Allah saved his prophet Jesus from their hands and raised him to the heavens. The Almighty then said: "And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him".
Furthermore, the Jews are said to have "accused the prophets of being liars and to have killed a certain number of them". Pupils are also invited to reflect on "the crimes committed by the Jews against Moses, Jesus and Mohammed".
No place for Jews in Israel!
It is difficult not to be dismayed by the paucity of such writings. Nor is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict treated more rigorously. While the Qatari curriculum claims to support a "culture of peace", Israel is never mentioned and does not appear on any map in school textbooks. How can peace be made if one does not negotiate with one's enemy? The "Social Studies" textbook, on the contrary, uses warlike language, describing Jews as "invading immigrants" and systematically referring to "Zionist gangs". The State of Israel being a "colonizing" State, and the "worst type of colonialism", an "occupying" State, and therefore illegitimate. It must therefore be rejected… Clearly, Israel has no place. The Qatari school therefore teaches pupils that their religion requires them to "liberate Palestine from the Israeli yoke and leave no place for Jews in Israel".
However, the textbooks do not specify whether to throw the Jews back into the sea or to kill them all. On the other hand, they insist on the role of Qatar to support the Palestinian cause. And notably the "historic" visit in 2012 of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani to the Gaza Strip. However, the teachers prefer to ignore the negotiations between Qatar and Israel precisely in order to allow the Qatari sovereign to come to the Gaza Strip. As the Palestinian cause is considered to be one of the main causes of the Arab world, the emirate's efforts to reconcile the different Palestinian factions are highlighted, as is its successful intervention to "stop Israel's offensives against the Gaza Strip".
Jews do not deserve a state!
But by dint of denigrating the Jews, schoolbooks end up tripping up. They may write that all Jews are "capitalist Jews" and that they "obey Zionist orders in all countries", and at the same time assert that Jews "have no characteristics of a nation". They do not deserve a state, since there are English Jews, American Jews, French Jews, Russian Jews, Ethiopian Jews, etc. They do not deserve a state."
Finally, it should be recalled that in old Qatari schoolbooks (withdrawn in 2016) Jews were described as "allies of polytheists, part of the eternal anti-Islamic alliance". And that the "Peoples of the Book [Jews and Christians] opposed Islam while corrupting Muslims". In 2016, in Islamic education books, young Qatari children could also read that "the torch of lies was carried by polytheists and their Jewish supporters. All the enemies of the Islamic nation had rallied to them. Thus the crusaders attacked the Muslim lands"!
