Randy and Evelyn James were told to abort their sixth child, Paul. After refusing the doctor’s advice, they started a nonprofit organization to help pregnant women and mothers in need instead.

The James’s were thrilled to find out they were expecting their sixth child. In fact, Evelyn had already picked out a name years in advance, after the name “Paul” came to her during prayer.

But months into their pregnancy, during Evelyn’s first sonogram, the doctor informed her that their baby had a diaphragmatic hernia, a hole in the diaphragm that would prohibit normal lung development. The diagnosis was fatal.

“This doctor said, ‘Your baby has a diaphragmatic hernia. Would you like to have an abortion?’” Evelyn recalls.

Evelyn and Randy refused.

Later in the pregnancy, more doctors recommended that they get a late-term abortion for Paul, the Catholic News Agency reports.

Again, they refused.

Five weeks before Paul’s due date, Evelyn went into labor and required an emergency C-section.

She pens, “One of the nurses stood behind me during the C-section and whispered Psalm 23 and other Scriptures in my ear.

“Over a year later, I learned that this nurse was not seen or heard by anyone else in the room. I am convinced that my guardian angel visited me, coming to my aid in my most desperate time of need!”

Baby Paul survived for 41 minutes after birth, time their family treasures.

Randy remembers the joy they all felt when in meeting Paul. “Delivering our baby, holding our baby, kissing our baby, taking pictures, and having our family come in and hold Baby Paul.” The family had Paul baptized, and “brought their other five children in to meet their new baby brother.”

The couple named their baby Paul Stefan, in honor of Fr. Stefan Paul Starzynsk who was a great help to Evelyn and Randy during their pregnancy.

Now, the couple has begun the Paul Stefan Foundation where Fr. Stefan serves as the organization’s spiritual director.

The organization runs a home for pregnant women who are in desperate need of shelter and food. It also provides pregnant women with healthcare and helps them and new mothers acquire life skills and training.

According to CNA, the organization has helped hundreds of women, including Samantha Mikelson, who used to be homeless.

“I was literally struggling, just by myself,” she said.

Speaking of the organization’s educational opportunities, she added, it “actually is paying for us to go to school and has a guaranteed internship at the end … They’re supplying laptops and everything.”

Scripture tells us in Romans 8:28, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

Paul Stefan’s story is one mixed with tears and tragedy. Yet in all moments, even the most difficult ones, God can use all things for good.

Mahama, Lordina ‘Chop Love’ To Mark 30th Marriage Anniversary

Former President John Dramani Mahama and his wife, Lordina Mahama are celebrating 30 years of love after being together as husband and wife.

Thirty years ago, the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Bole-Bamboi exchanged vows with a woman he had met and fell in love with. Little did they know that their marriage would become one of the longest of any presidential couples.

To climax the celebration, the former first couple held a thanksgiving service at the Ringway branch of the Assemblies of God Church in Accra, seeing the former President and his wife renewing their marital vows.

The anniversary saw the four sons of the former president dressed in the same tire as their father.

Several dignitaries graced the occasion including popular clergy, Rev. Obofour.

Former First Lady of South Africa, Thobeka Zuma was also in attendance as he showered praises on the ‘fresh’ couple when sharing a goodwill message to them.

The occasion could not have ended if Mr. and Mrs. Mahama did not take to the dance floor to showcase their dancing skills as Mr. Mahama was seen groving hard with his wife at the reception.

Members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) including the Minority Caucus greatly attended the ceremony.

The former first family has been blessed with five children named Shafik, Shahid, Sharaf, Jesse and Farida.

On July 27, the former president took to social media to pen a lovely message to his wife, Lordina Dramani Mahama.
He also shared an image of them in a hearty mood of love.

“Marriage is a blessing when it is with the right person. In my wife, Lordina, I have found a life-partner with whom I have shared every step of life’s journey this past 30 years and more,” the former president earlier wrote even though their marriage suffered some turbulent along the line leading to Mr Mahama fathering some kids outside marriage.
Even though the couple renewed their marital vows, there are speculations that the former president is keeping a second wife with whom he has children with.

Prior to the annivesary, the couple has inaugurated and presented to the Bole Community in the Savanna Region, a 45-bed maternity and children’s ward at the Bole District Hospital.

As part of their anniversary celebration, Mahama and his wife built and presented the twin wards to the people of Bole and surrounding communities at a ceremony on Tuesday, July 26, 2022.

The Maternity and Children’s Ward has a total of 45 beds, 10 baby cots, five weighing scales with height measurements, a Kangaroo Mother and Child Care Centre, a delivery room with two delivery beds, and a Recovery Ward.

Elizabeth Hurley, 57, Appears Attractive In A Swimsuit

Liz Hurley, an actress, best known for her roles in Austin Powers movies and the creator of her own line of swimwear, believes she makes the perfect product model. It’s difficult to disagree with this because, at 57, she still looks fantastic in her undies.

The majority of the photos in the “Scammers” and “Blinded by Desires” star’s personal account is of her wearing a bikini. The actress also uploads numerous movies to show her admirers that she does not use filters or Photoshop.

She dances and demonstrates how she shields herself from the sun’s wrath by donning a canary-yellow one-piece swimsuit, a wide-brimmed straw hat, and dark sunglasses in the latter.

In a tube that matches the color of her bikini, the celebrity simultaneously displays her go-to sunscreen. Hurley’s signature on this video is “Hat and SPF.”

Fans, of course, appreciated the actress’s efforts to protect them from sunburn, but they were more interested in her toned figure. Even if some believed Elizabeth had put on a few pounds, the bulk of her supporters thought she looked fantastic. In a previous post, While on vacation in the tropics, Elizabeth Hurley posts opulent pictures of herself in a bikini online.

Related story

The last entry dealt with Elizabeth’s efforts to save starfish that she had discovered on the sand but had already hurriedly gotten into the ocean. Prior to then, though, they were photographed with the star of movies like “Scammers” and “Blinded by Desires.”

Hurley sported an oversized pair of sunglasses and a vivid blue bathing suit. Few people appeared to care about the starfish’s fate, judging by the comments of Elizabeth’s followers, while everyone praised her toned physique.

Hurley uploads images of himself in bikinis generally very frequently. The actress stated that she believes this to be the best advertising in one of the interviews.

I submitted a helpdesk question on 11/12/2018 regarding an offset between recovered and telemetered data for all global HYPMs: "There appears to be a substantial offset between data with the same timestamps from recovered_wfp and telemetered methods for all deployments of all global WFP CTDs, and I have included information from two representative deployments of two different profilers as examples. It looks like the values recorded for the first common timestamp are exactly the same, and as the profiler moves along in time the offset between the values recorded for the same timestamp become increasingly more offset. Then, the profiler reaches the end of the profile (either at its shallowest or deepest point), resets, and the pattern begins again. This is most easily seen in the pressure data, but there is an offset for all science parameters.

GI02HYPM-WFP02-04-CTDPFL000 deployment 1
GP02HYPM-WFP02-04-CTDPFL000 deployment 3

The *_intersect.csv files attached contain data where recovered and telemetered timestamps intersect. For each timestamp and science parameter there are recorded values (from .nc files downloaded from the system) and the difference. For each parameter, the difference between the values at the bottom and top of the profiler's range are exactly zero, and (particularly for pressure) the differences steadily increase until they are reset at zero at the bottom/top of the profile. This pattern continues throughout the deployment. The plots attached are zoomed in to one upcast and one downcast, and highlight the offset in the data between the two methods."

Deployments 2, 3, 4: deployment depths from asset management are substantially different than the pressure recorded by the instrument. If the deployment depths in asset management are correct, the data should be annotated to indicate why the pressure values are so different from the depth at which the instrument was deployed.

How to Take Your Internet Relationship Offline

Latest update: Oct 13, 2020 by Rachel Dates
How to Take Your Internet Relationship Offline

Let’s assume it’s been a few weeks or even months since you registered on an international dating site. You have been texting several girls in different countries, and finally got hooked by one of them. She seems to be nice: her profile pictures tell you she’s attractive (and even of your taste), her replies to your messages tell you she’s smart, and her descriptions in a profile tell you she has similar to your views on a relationship.

Every day you text each other no matter what the time is (yes, you’re in different time zones), you’ve sent her virtual gifts, even ordered delivery of flowers to her place. She got it — you like her. But these are the hints of only liking her. How do you get to the next level? How do you let her know you want to see her?

Give a hint

Well, start with throwing more hints. Here’s a handful of examples:

  • I dream of seeing you one day
  • I had a dream in which we actually met
  • What would you say if I was standing right behind the door of your apartment?
  • What if we bump into each other somewhere in the airport?
  • As I was in the streets, I keep seeing women who look like you. I keep thinking: is that her?

And so on. Give her a good hint whip texting her on an online dating site and see her reaction. If it’s positive, move on to the next level.

Suggest a phone or video call

You’re lucky to live in the 21st century. Nowadays international dating sites and mail order bride websites offer a wide variety of communication tools. Apart from emailing systems, chat-rooms and so on, you also can make phone and video calls to beautiful single women all over the globe.

Use this opportunity to get in touch with the girl who you think might be «that one». It is crucial to talk with a girl on a phone before meeting her in life, especially if she lives kilometers away from you.

What if you don’t like the sound of her voice? What if her body language shows you she isn’t that much into you? You need to figure everything out before crossing oceans for her. But if she’s indeed «the one», the sweetness of her voice will push you to take the bull by the horns and invite her on an offline date asap!

Finally, invite her

Be sincere, don’t prevaricate. Tell her maybe it’s time for you to meet. Here are several options for you:

  1. Meet on neutral territory (travel together to the point of destination, perhaps, some resort)
  2. Meet in her hometown or home country (this is the best option for both of you — the girl will feel safe and you will learn about her culture)
  3. Meet in your country (note that you will have to cover visa expenses for your girl to show that you are capable of providing her with financial stability, though it is negotiable too)

All in all, don’t be afraid of getting on a new level. Going on an offline date is not an obstacle but a bridge between your online and offline relationship!

Insect slaves in a fungal nation II

I've written about the fly-killing fungus Entomophthora muscae before, way back near the start of the Ecology Spot. In that post I covered the behavioural changes it causes, and a bit about how the fungus does this (or rather, how little we understand this). I don't want to repeat it here (it's all in the original post), but when I found another yellow dung-fly (Scatophaga stercoraria) infected with E. muscae, (well, certainly this fungal genus, and E. muscae is by far the most likely) this time in our garden, I felt an update was in order.

A dead yellow dung-fly Scatophaga stercoraria infected by Entomophthora muscae. Note the typical posture adopted shortly prior to death - head down, abdomen up, wings spread - this maximises the spread of fungal spores.
With the Harvard research programme (looking at how the fungus infects hosts and changes behaviour) having closed, it does not seem that this thread is being actively pursued at present (if this isn't the case, please do let me know and I'll update this post). There has however been recent work looking at the evolutionary history of the fungus (e.g. Gryganskyi et al. 2013) and taxonomic research by Humber (2012) raises the group to full phylum status.

More on this fascinating, if often overlooked, fungus undoubtedly to come...

Gryganskyi, A.P., Humber, R.A., Smith, M.E., Hodge, K., Huang, B., Voigt, K. & Vilgalys, R. (2013). Phylogenetic lineages in Entomophthoromycota. Persoonia 30: 94 -105.

British Stupid: UK Home To At Least 23,000 Jihadists

Created with Sketch.

British Stupid: UK Home To At Least 23,000 Jihadists

The above is my version of title by Sean O’Neill, Fiona Hamilton, Fariha Karim and Gabriella Swerling at The Times.

British authorities should expel every one of those 23,000 but they have to wait until these terrorists commit terror acts against the nation before they’ll do anything. That’s what I call “British stupid”! I guess the Brits are so afraid of their low breeding rates that they had to/have to bring in invading hordes of Christian-hating Muslims who want to cut their heads off!

We aren’t a whole lot smarter here–our government, that is. Terrorists have rights, you see–even illegal alien terrorists and visa overstaying terrorists. We keep bringing in the Syrian Muslim hordes, thousands upon thousands of them. They go on the public dole and kneel before Allah. Islam is not compatible with Western culture. Trying to make it compatible via immigration is insane. The Open Border folks tell us we NEED these hordes, much as the British Government says, because of our “low breeding rates”. Pure insanity!

Basically then, we have to turn our country over to the Islamists or our aging nation will die? Sorry, but that dog won’t hunt at The Dave Levine Show!

Obama let in hundreds of thousands of Syrian and other Muslim “refugees”, mostly males. What is Trump doing about that? He said during the campaign that he was going to send them back. I haven’t heard a peep out of him about this since taking office. Perhaps he’s afraid of the legal fight he’d be in if he did try to repatriate Muslim refugees.

My thanks to for posting this story.

Current, reliable data helps us inform decisions about improving outcomes for the children, families, and communities we serve. As part of the Georgia Family Connection statewide network, we have access to customized information and tools specific to our Collaborative’s and partners’ needs. Data brings into focus for us an accurate picture of our community by pointing out our strengths, our weaknesses, and trends we may not have noticed before.

KIDS COUNT is a state and national effort to track the well-being of children. Funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, KIDS COUNT informs local, state, and national discussions concerning ways to secure a brighter future for all children.

The KIDS COUNT Data Book paints a picture of the conditions for children and families in Georgia and the rest of the nation. Policymakers, advocates, service providers, civic leaders, and funders use this information to inform their decisions about priorities, services, and resources for children and families.

Indicators of Child Well-Being

Georgia tracks 51 Indicators of Child Well-Being in five result areas that support our vision for a Georgia where all children are healthy, primed for school, and succeed when they get there; that all families are stable, self-sufficient, and productive; and that every community is vibrant, robust, and thriving.

Data Tools

Several data tools help us craft local solutions through a non-partisan, evidence-based lens.

  • Use the KIDS COUNT Indicator Explorer to create a custom interactive dashboard by selecting a county and indicators.
  • Access data profiles of 50 indicators of child, family, and community well-being for all 159 Georgia counties, the 12 Georgia Family Connection regions, and the 21 city school systems.
  • Birth to 21 Snapshots provide a one-page overview of nine child, family, and community well-being indicators for all 159 Georgia counties, the 12 Georgia Family Connection regions, and the state.
  • An online calculator allows users to set an improvement goal.
  • The Comparable Counties Map allows users to click on any county and to then see what other counties match the selected county according to several key indicators.
  • An interactive map allows you to select specific indicators by county, House district, Senate district, and census tract.
  • The Race, Equity, and Inclusion (REI) tool helps data users understand the context behind the persistent disparities and inequities between people of color and white people.

PDF files are certainly the most popular format and have been widely used in businesses and schools. Why shouldn’t they be when they provide excellent quality and safe distribution of the information? It’s also simply easy to create and open in any platform. Additionally, you can also have some extra appealing features if you have the right tools and know how to add them. Just like another feature which we shall talk about here at DeftPDF – Adding links that go to a specific page within the same document. Have you done those?

Why use page linking?

The purpose of your document will show you the purpose of the link. Research papers, for instance, will need a proper referencing, hence the need to show links that cite sources. eBooks, on the other hand, will need an outline and it will be great for readers to jump on to chapters.

Linking chapters, sections and headings can also easily be done with bookmarks of course, and can help readers can find what they need in one glance. If this is so, then why bother creating hyperlinks? Well, bookmarks are a great addition to PDF but it’s always great to have alternatives. In instances where your readers are not all tech-savvy, there is a possibility that they may not know how to view bookmarks. If your receiver opens the PDF in a Chrome browser, the bookmarks may not be visible on the left pane like how it is on your Adobe Reader. Instead, it will be shown as an icon and will only be shown once clicked. So, keeping hyperlinks can be simpler and be your friendly substitute.

Creating Hyperlinks that Jumps to a Specific Page

If your document is machine-readable, created from the computer, and not a scanned image-only document, then you should be able to open your PDF as an editable document in Word and can allow you to add these links. If not, then you can always convert your PDF into Word using DeftPDF tools online for free. Once you’ve converted and opened the document in Word, you can now create the links using the method below:

Step one: Create bookmarks on each section or page. Highlight the word and click the bookmark on the insert tab. Name the bookmark based on your preference. Make sure you remember which page or area is named after. By adding the bookmarks, you now mark the pages and areas as the destination of your link.

See also: How to Create a New PDF with Bookmarks

Step two: Once the bookmarks are all set, encode the words you want to become links. It can be an outline of the document on the first page or some words at the bottom of each page.

outline of the document

Step three: Highlight the word you want to link and click “Link” from the insert tab.

adding links interpage

Step four: Another window will display the link options. Select “Place in this document” and select the bookmark where you want the link to go. Click OK.

setting the destination of the link within page

Step five: Save as PDF. If your Word application is an old version, you may want to change the options and tick the “Create bookmarks using word.”

save bookmarks on PDF

Note: Opening a PDF in Word may sometimes cause it to change the layout so it is still best to convert your documents to Word or to rearrange again the document.

NEW POLL: Americans Continue to Support Key Planks of Biden’s Build Back Better Agenda

Today, a new Navigator poll shows that President Biden’s agenda continues to be wildly popular among voters. As the Child Tax Credit hits millions of families’ bank accounts and Democrats continue to rebuild our economy, voters recognize who is truly fighting for hardworking families.

Navigator“Americans Broadly Support The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework and Expanded Child Tax Credit”

  • “The child tax credit is widely supported and even more so when highlighting the share of households that are eligible.”
  • “The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework has broad support across race and party. 66 percent of Americans support ‘President Biden and a bipartisan group of Senators passing a new infrastructure plan to improve roads and bridges, expand power infrastructure, increase passenger and rail access, expand broadband access, and improve water infrastructure,’ including 86 percent of Democrats, 59 percent of Independents, and nearly half of Republicans (46 percent).”
  • “There are positive signs for Democrats as President Biden continues to maintain a net-positive approval rating for his handling of the economy. President Biden maintains a net +5 positive approval rating on his handling of the economy.”

Full Dentures Gold Coast

acrylic partial dentures gold coast

Full Dentures

At Dentures at Varsity, we fully understand the impact that the loss of one’s natural teeth has on their quality of life. Aside from the disruption to fundamental human functions such as the ability to eat, talk, smile and laugh, the loss of one’s teeth can be damaging to their self-confidence. Our line of full dentures at our Gold Coast clinic restore your self-esteem, help to restore sagging muscle tissue that occurs in the absence of natural teeth and leaves you feeling confident in your appearance once more.

Teeth play a vital role in supporting the facial muscles surrounding the mouth, cheeks and lips. In the absence of teeth, this facial tissue tends to sag and droop. The loss of natural teeth causes the jawbone to diminish, leading the bottom half of the face to wilt and wither. Along with the shrivelling of the gums and poorly made dentures that do not provide adequate reinforcement for the lips and cheeks, the facial tissue loses its structure and volume. This loss of facial form results in the patient appearing older.

The Benefits of Full Dentures

Our highly skilled dental technicians develop denture solutions that fit each patient with absolute precision. This results in facial muscles that appear tighter once more, while any sunken features appear fuller, helping to recreate a more natural, healthier and youthful appearance.

The benefits of our full dentures include:

  • Beautifully sculpted prosthetic teeth that possess the shape, gloss and shine of natural teeth
  • Facial tissue affected by the loss of teeth, such as in and around the mouth, cheeks and lips will be revitalised; the muscles will appear tighter, while any sunken areas will appear fuller
  • Precise duplication of gum profile and colour
  • Long lasting dentures that are composed of cutting-edge materials, offer a perfect fit and provide superior comfort for the wearer
  • Full dentures have been around for decades. They are an ideal solution for patients who wish to have a full set of teeth again
  • They have a considerable lifespan, making them a cost effective investment
  • Our dentures are made from the highest quality materials and with meticulous precision by our highly skilled in-house dental prosthetist, Adrian Simic
  • Our full dentures are comfortable and have a lifelike appearance

For more information about our full dentures offered at our Gold Coast clinic, please contact us today.

No referral is needed in order to see our dental prosthetist, in fact generally we are a great first port of call

We pride ourselves on providing the most realistic, aesthetic and functional dentures on the Gold Coast. In most cases it will be very difficult for people to tell that you are wearing a denture

Generally moving from an old generic type denture to one of our premium custom dentures, no speech should be altered. However, if it’s your first time wearing a denture it is not uncommon to experience some speech changes. Within a short time and with practice all, your speech with return back to normal

In most cases getting use to a new denture depends on what changes and improvements have been made to the new one from the old prosthesis. We always suggest an adjustment period of one to two weeks before things start feeling normal again.

We understand that all our clients would love to jump straight in to that beautiful steak and chips dinner after receiving a new set of dentures. However, there is always a small break-in period for new dentures. We recommend starting slow with smaller bites until you get use to your new teeth.

The top denture stays in place with muco-compressive suction and the bottom denture can be much the same if the mandible allows. Generally, though, the bottom denture works off stability and grip more than suction, as the tongue is connected to the floor of the mouth.

We generally recommend getting a denture relined every 2.5 years and recommend replacing your dentures every 5-7 years. The mouth changes around 5-7% every year and a properly made denture has slight wear and tear every year. Therefore, it’s crucial to get a refresh to prevent any jaw related issues in your mouth.

Full dentures can definitely be repaired. Dentures repairs usually can be done within the hour if enough notice is given and can be as good as new!

Yes, any kind of denture can be adjusted, if you feel the need to get your dentures adjusted just call in and we can help you out.

Yes, full dentures can be relined, in order to booked in for a reline, we need to get you in early so that the denture can be ready for you in the same day. This process requires and impression to be taken within the mouth using your existing denture and we replace the entire base to make the denture fit perfectly.

Depending on the age of the denture, it’s either time to reline the denture or think about replacing it with a new set.

There are many different ways to clean your dentures. We always recommended soaking them overnight in a denture cleaning tablet and gently brushing them clean morning and night. This will help prevent any plaque build up and help maintain a healthy oral hygiene.

We pride ourselves at Dentures at Varsity to have the most customisable denture. We have all the techniques and materials readily available to provide you with the most realistic denture. Starting from gum tinting, rugae design to even placing fillings on certain teeth for extreme realism. The options are endless!

In most cases with a new set of denture glue is not necessary, however in some cases where there is no bone on the lower mandible, we do recommend using it for added security. However, it is always a great option to ask us about lower implant dentures.

Less buyers doesn’t mean more available homes

There may be less buyers in today’s real estate market, but that’s not keeping them from gobbling up what’s out there to be purchased. And despite home demand falling, houses are selling faster than ever.

A new report from Redfin found in the four-week period ended May 8, the typical home for sale had a buyer within 15 days, the fastest pace on record.

As pending home sales posted their largest year-over-year decline since June 2020 at 6%, buyers who haven’t been priced out of the market are rushing to make a purchase before prices grow even higher. According to Redfin, today’s typical monthly mortgage payment is at a record high $2,427, a 44% increase from last year’s $1,685.

Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather attributes rising mortgage rates for taking a big bite out of home demand.

“But still, homebuyers who remain in the market are facing stiff competition, especially for the most desirable homes,” he said. “Given the lack of homes for sale, it would take a much larger drop in demand for buyers to really feel like the market has truly turned in their favor.”

For the four-week period ended May 8, the median asking price of newly listed homes rose 17% from 2021 to an all-time high of $411,350, while the median home price also rose 17% to $397,356, the largest increase since August.

Fifty-six percent of homes went under contract with an accepted offer within the first two weeks of being listed, up from 54% last year. Forty-two percent of homes went under contract with an accepted offer within one week, up from 41% in 2021, falling less than a percentage point from March’s record high.

Homes continue to sell faster, according to the report, as homes on the market fell to a record-low 15 days, a drop from 202.2 days in 2021. And they continue to sell well above asking price — a record 57% sold above list price, up from 48% last year.

In this project I am working in historic Fairmount, in south Fort Worth Texas.  This house was built in 1918, and after almost 100 years,  has been left in a sad, dilapidated state.  Being part of the National Register of Historic Places, this home will require extra care in the design details to honor the spirit of the turn of the century architecture and preserve the character of the neighborhood.  The exterior will be rehabbed and repainted with approved historic details and colors, in accordance with the Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission.  The interior will be reworked to meet the needs of the modern family, while preserving the original details such as the built in buffet, leaded window and working transoms.  I’m honored and excited to be part of this project!

Detroit Red Wings win 1998 Stanley Cup [Video]

June 16, 1998: The Detroit Red Wings dominance of the hockey world continues as they raised the Stanley Cup for the second consecutive year! No other team was able to repeat as Stanley Cup champions until the Pittsburgh Penguins did so in 2017, followed by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020 and 2021.

The previous season saw the Red Wings end 42 years of futility. Their 1997 Stanley Cup victory was one for the ages and saw an entire city rally behind them. But Hockeytown’s jubilation soon turned to sorrow and heartbreak, as defenseman Vladimir Konstantinov and Slava Fetisov (as well as team masseuse Sergei Mnatsakanov) were injured in a limousine accident a mere six days after the historic victory.

Fortunately, Fetisov escaped the accident with only minor injuries and came back to play the next season, but Konstantinov’s playing career was over. For a time, it appeared his life itself was in serious danger. He spent several weeks in a coma and suffered paralysis and head injuries.

The Red Wings had to move on without the bruising blue liner, who was just starting to emerge as one of the NHL’s best. Konstantinov would eventually pull through, and though his days of playing hockey were finished (as well as living a normal life), he became the driving inspiration behind Detroit’s quest to repeat as champions.

When it was all over and the Red Wings had swept the Washington Capitals to secure their second consecutive Stanley Cup win, Konstantinov was wheeled onto the ice at MCI Center (now Capital One Arena) in Washington D.C. in his wheelchair. After Steve Yzerman received the Stanley Cup and raised it in celebration, he immediately placed the Cup on Konstantinov’s lap as the entire team gathered around in one of the most unforgettable moments in hockey history.

Leaf Disease

There are several types of leaf diseases that you may notice take over your leaves in certain conditions. Learn about some of these leaf diseases below.

What is Leaf Spot Disease?

If your lawn is being watered and fertilized but still seems yellowish, it could be due to Leaf Spot Disease (better known as Leaf Disease). This disease is a fungus that attacks the blades of grass. Leaf spots are small circles with yellow centers and dark borders on, and along, the leaf blade. The disease can be a problem when the weather is cool and moist. Leaf spots occur most often in lawns that are mowed too short.

How does Leaf Spot Disease spread?

Leaf Disease spreads in the form of spores throughout your lawn by wind, air, water, and humans. The disease may reappear from year to year if conditions are met. Improper watering and mowing may cause the disease.

Leaf spots occur most often in lawns that are mowed too short.

What is Dollar Spot?

Dollar Spot is a disease that can occur in lawns during warm weather. The fungus enters the grass plants when they are wet. Large, tan-colored wounds appear on the grass blades. These infected grass blades form rounded, damaged patches the size of a silver dollar. If the disease becomes more serious, the patches will expand and damage the entire lawn.

What is Leaf Blight?

Leaf Blight occurs on lawns during hot and humid weather. The disease enters the grass plants after evening mowing, followed by excessive night watering. In heavily infested patches, the fungus damages the lawn in circular or tubular patches that often form large bleached areas. Close inspection of the plant reveals individual leaves dying from the tip down with a brownish purple line running horizontally across the plant.

Controlling Common Leaf Diseases

The best method of control is for the homeowner to alter the present lawncare practices. Avoid allowing water to sit on the grass overnight and mowing in the evening. Prune trees to encourage more air movement. Also, keeping the thatch layer to less than ½” (1 cm) and proper fertility should be done to prevent the occurrence of these diseases. Promoting a healthy lawn is the key.

  • Incense

    Incense is known to have a calming effect on the mind. It is customary to offer incense before a period of meditation. Offering incense expresses our intention to let go of our individual, conceptual self and open to our awakened nature.

    Incense is one of the eight traditional offerings — water for drinking, water for bathing, flowers, incense, light, perfume, food and music. When incense is lit, its beautiful fragrance expands and increases throughout space symbolizing the way morality, ethics, and discipline become the basic causes and conditions from which the qualities of wisdom and compassion grow.

    About Our Tibetan Incense:

    Our Tibetan incense is made in Nepal and India. Crafted according to age-old recipes of traditional Tibetan medicine, many of these incenses are said to have healing properties, especially for relieving stress. Others are used for meditation, offerings, and purification. You can expect your Tibetan incense to have a strong, earthy fragrance.

    About Our Japanese and Korean Incense:

    Our Japanese and Korean incense is crafted in the tradition of old-world Japan according to methods that date back hundreds of years. These incenses are used for meditation and offerings. Most have a sandalwood base while some of our finest Japanese incense have an aloeswood base. The higher the concentration of aloeswood, the finer the incense and the more refined and exotic the scent.

Fascist Movements in Southern California

Native fascist organizations had three characteristics in common. All used anti-Semitism in their platforms. All advocated violence, often claiming to be soldiers, warriors, patriots for militants on a mission to establish a higher moral standard. Many wore uniforms and trained as street fighters and rabble rousers ready "to die" for their cause. Lastly, all fascists, with the exception of William Dudley Pelley, lacked clear long term plans.

Pelley, founder and "Chief" of the Silver Legion of America, described his ideal society as a national cooperative functioning without banks, trade unions, money or advertising. Much of his early ideology came from his long association with Huey Long, the "King Fish" of Louisiana. At his peak of popularity in the mid-1930s, Pelley boasted of thousands of followers and the printing of millions of articles, pamphlets and magazines.

Several attempts were made to unite the fascist movements of the United States. George Deatherage, leader of the American National Confederation tried twice in 1938 with assistance from Henry Allen and Leslie Fry, but the individual egos of group leaders prevented unification from taking shape. The second unsuccessful meeting to unify the various fascist groups was held at the Deutsches Haus in Los Angeles. Despite the lack of unity among the native fascists, their propaganda posed a convincing threat to American ideals.

Any survey made of students or adults at any stage of development, would find many who have studied for long periods without having learned to read sufficiently well to carry on the necessary functions of life. This would seem to suggest that the schools, for some reason, or by some means, are failing in the development of those skills which are extremely important for successful living.

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between intelligence and the ability to learn to read, and also to determine what methods, if any, appear to contribute toward the improvement of reading among slow learners, or children with reading difficulties.

The Educational Policies Commission has listed four objectives of education in a democratic society. They include the objectives of self realization, economic efficiency, human relations, and citizenship. These suggest that our system of schools should so operate as to permit each child to develop to his fullest extent, develop some means of earning a livelihood, and perform such functions as become the responsibility of citizens in a democratic society.

In each of the above, a knowledge of reading is imperative. It, therefore, appears reasonable to assume that, the inability to read is a serious handicap to the life of any individual, and any school; or, the school teacher is guilty of gross negligence who does less than her best to exhaust all possible means of developing reading skills in young children.

This paper assumes importance as it reviews the various factors which may cause the development of reading difficulties in children; points out methods which may be used to determine the causes of reading difficulties; and suggests methods which might be used to improve the reading skills of young children.

The reading difficulties and suggested remedial techniques discussed in this paper are those related to such problems as might be found at the fourth grade level.

Reductions in appendicular skeletal mass (ASM) may have a greater detrimental effect than reductions in total lean body mass regarding the onset and progression of sarcopenia. The limited access to modalities that accurately measure ASM results in individuals going undiagnosed and experiencing functional decline. Additionally, since women live longer and have a smaller amount of muscle mass compared to men, women are predisposed to being affected by sarcopenia. PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the ability of functional and neuromuscular measures to predict ASM and classify sarcopenia status in older women. METHODS: Forty-one (57.6±5.8years, 160.1±5.01cm, 64.1±6.2kg) women had their body composition analyzed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), performed bench press 1-repetition maximum strength (1RM) testing, vertical jump height and power, grip strength, timed up and go, Berg Balance testing, and bench press power testing at 20%, 40%, and 60% 1RM. Sarcopenia was classified by criteria established by the Foundation of the National Institute of Health. Independent samples t-tests were used to examine differences between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic women. Forward regression analyses examined if functional measures could provide an ASM prediction model. Significant models were compared to DXA derived ASM measures using t-tests and Pearson’s correlation with an a priori significance level of p<0.05. RESULTS: Women classified as sarcopenic (n=15; 58.2±6.4years, 158.1±4.7cm, 62.6±6.7kg) performed significantly worse than non-sarcopenic women for each functional measure (p=0.01 - p<0.001). Regression analyses revealed models accounting for 93.8%, 91.1% and 86.4% of the variance in DXA derived ASM, with the most robust model incorporating jump power, body weight and grip strength. Paired t-tests revealed no difference between model derived and DXA derived ASM for each model (p>0.05) and Pearson’s correlations revealed significant correlations for each model (r=0.94-0.96, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The present data indicate that ASM can be predicted with high precision through jump power, body weight, and grip strength in older women. These models could be used to identify and classify sarcopenia, ultimately allowing the implementation of interventions aimed at attenuating the effects of sarcopenia.
