You may not think yourself capable of much. When you challenge yourself by getting out there and helping others, however, you will see that you are much stronger than you thought. You will also see that you have it much better than you might have realized.
It’s easy to get caught up with thoughts about what we don’t have. These thoughts will only make us bitter and sad, though. Helping others, however, will show us how fortunate we really are. Being grateful will also give us peace while feeling entitled never will.
Serenity Will Follow
There is no final step in which you will realize you have attained complete serenity. Think of it like working out. You slowly get healthier and stronger and one day you might look into the mirror and see a chiseled form, but you’ll need to keep practicing your good habits to keep it.
Helping others will teach you to be grateful for the abundance you have. It will show you the best you can be. Helping others will show you that no one is in this alone and that no one can make it alone. We need each other, so let’s stick together..My friend, Michelle, made these "Gold at the End of the Rainbow" treats for her kiddos! Aren't they adorable!? She wanted something to surprise them after school and saw a similar idea here, but didn't have time to run to get long skinny cellophane bags and knew it might be difficult to find gold coins. So she took the idea, tweeked it, and created her own!
She started with sandwich baggies (the ones that have the fold over flap) and snipped the flap where it's connected to the bag so it looks like a bag with two slits in the top.
Then she dropped 3 Hershey's Nuggets and 4 individually wrapped Rolos into the bottom. Next, taking one of each color Twizzlers Rainbow Twists she arranged them in order (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple) and bent them into a rainbow shape.
She placed them carefully in the baggie so they didn't get too mixed up. Tied with a bit of green ribbon and voila! I love how you can even stand them up!!
FYI: Each bag of Twizzlers made exactly 5 bags of Rainbow treats. These would make really cute goodie bags at a rainbow, unicorn, or candyland/candyshop themed party too! Thanks for sharing your idea with us, Michelle!I have a 2010 iMac with suffered a power failure on start up and this has seemed to corrupt the catalog drive. It has OS X 10.11.6 and bootcamp partition. Now the Windows partition boots up fine and can even see the Mac partition from file explorer, so I don't think there is anything physically wrong with the drive.
Is there anything else that I could try, or should I just give up at this stage?
Have you tried any other disk directory tools, such as DiskWarrior? Your symptoms sound like a typical corrupted directory, and Disk Warrior should do a good job fixing your directory...
You also said that booting to Windows - you can see the Mac partition in file explorer? That doesn't really make sense on a normal Windows, as Windows won't usually see any files on an HFS-formatted drive.
Do you have a current backup for your OS X boot drive?
Boot to your installer flash drive, and erase the drive. Reinstall OS X. Restore your apps and files from your backup.
Yes, I created a DiskWarrior recovery disk, but as I said before recovery disks don't work, because they cannot see the internal drive. I don't know why.
Hmm, I thought Bootcamp installed drivers that let you see the Mac partition. Yes, I can see /User folder and most of files on partition.
You should hear a boot chime sound. Continue to hold the same 4 keys until you hear the boot chime 2 more times, then release the keys.
After doing that, try booting to your DiskWarrior recovery disk.
Of course, even that should show up in Disk Utility, even if there is no name.
I would then choose to connect an external USB drive with a bootable system. I have three or four, and usually go for a Yosemite system. It's a full install, not just a bootable installer. It's also another way to use Disk Utility (from a fully-booted system).
If you still can't see the drive in Disk Utility, go to the System Information. How does your internal drive show up in the SATA tab? Do you see your system partition there?
Then, next step is to remove the hard drive. You can do that on a 2010 iMac in less than 10 minutes. Test the hard drive in an external case.
Assuming that the drive controller is working, that should fix you up.
Ok, I tried the Option-Command-P-R, but it didn't make any difference.Strategies for glycan acquisition by Bacteroidetes in the soil: The carbohydrate enzymology of Chitinophaga pinensis

The secretion of extracellular enzymes by soil microbes is rate-limiting in the global recycling of biomass. Fungi and bacteria compete and collaborate for nutrients in the soil, with wide ranging ecological impacts. Within soil microbiota, the Bacteroidetes tend to be a dominant bacterial phylum, just like in human and animal intestines. The enzymology of Bacteroidetes in the dynamic and competitive soil environment is under-explored compared to their cousins from the human and ruminant gut ecosystems. We are exploring carbohydrate binding and deconstruction by Chitinophaga pinensis. This species was isolated from the leaf litter of a pine forest, and our ongoing microbiological, biochemical, and proteomic analyses show that C. pinensis has a marked metabolic preference for carbohydrates (glycans) of microbial, rather than plant, origin. The species has a repertoire of enzymes that degrade components of the fungal cell wall, and we are characterising several important enzyme activities, including some with unusual substrate specificity. Several features of the C. pinensis “cazome” make it note-worthy. In particular, there is a significantly reduced reliance on the Polysaccharide Utilisation Loci that define glycan acquisition in most well-studied gut symbiont Bacteroidetes. Instead, C. pinensis produces some large multi-modular enzymes that convey multiple complementary carbohydrate-binding and -degrading functions, and which are often secreted via the phylum-specific Type IX Secretion System. This presentation will highlight our latest enzyme characterisation data, discussed in the context of the environmental functions of soil bacteria, as well as the use of enzymes for industrial biotechnology.New Energy Vision is a very scalable application designed to run on all modern Windows PC configurations.

But then, if the Rangers were playing well, they wouldn’t be going into the league’s 48-hour Christmas moratorium toting a 2-6-2 albatross of a slide around their underachieving necks, now would they?
If the Rangers were playing well, they wouldn’t have their smallest number of victories in any 10-game stretch since the end of the lockout, would they?
If the Rangers were playing well, Chris Drury wouldn’t be committing mindless giveaways such as the gaffe deep in his own end that led to Ottawa’s final goal in the third and Henrik Lundqvist would have been able to make the save on the routine shot on which the Senators scored their goal to tie late in the first after the Rangers dominated the period.
But the Rangers are not playing well, no matter how either they or their apologists try to frame it. As such, rather than finding a way to win, they found the way to lose 3-1, even with Page Six favorite Sean Avery making his return after an 11-game absence, even with Jaromir Jagr on top of the puck and attacking the net throughout.
“I think we can use these two days to flush our minds a bit and refresh ourselves for the next part of the schedule,” said Drury, who pleaded, “no excuse,” to the turnover that preceded the Senators’ final goal midway through the third.
The Rangers shouldn’t look behind, because just about everyone in the East is gaining on them. The Blueshirts are still in a playoff spot in seventh place, but they are only five points ahead of the 14th-place Lightning, and with the worst of the schedule ahead.
Gomez, who extended his point-scoring streak to eight games with the goal (4-8-12), has recorded 28 points (7-21) in his last 25 games. Yet somehow he only got only 6:06 of ice in the third period and was not on
