Letters to William

Oh my sweet babee…we had the best conversation on our walk today and I just had to write it down.  The day was beautiful–waning sunshine in the late afternoon sky and a refreshing chill in the air.  We took our usual loop around the neighborhood and what can I say?  God showed up.

I started pointing out how God has blessed us so abundantly through nature.  He could have given us only a few different animal species, but He didn’t.  He flooded the earth with millions of different types of creatures and as a result, we constantly encounter a variety of animal friends.  He could have limited our experience with one type of weather, but He didn’t.  He has given us seasons (yes, even in Florida!) so that just as we are tiring of one type of temperature, another is ushered in giving us a renewed energy and enthusiasm about where we live.

From there, we started talking about how incredible it is that the God who created ALL of that and more, wants to have a personal relationship with us.  I shared a verse that was a part of my morning Bible study–Jeremiah 33:3 which says “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”  Wow.  We definitely camped on that thought for awhile.  I pointed out that this one little verse tells us so much about our great and loving God.  First, it shows us that we can talk to Him.  We can do this wherever, whenever, and however.  Sometimes this means praying out loud like we do when we say our nightly prayers.  Other times this means praying in our minds when we are in the middle of a crowded room.  The means doesn’t matter, the fact is that we can always talk to Him.  This verse also shows us that God listens and hears us!  In order to answer someone, you have to hear what they say, so that means the Creator of Heaven and Earth is actively listening to our every word when we call to Him!  Is that amazing or what?!?  Finally, it shows that after hearing our calls to Him, He responds.  This relationship is not one-sided–we talk, He hears, and then He answers!  While the verse doesn’t promise that we will hear the audible voice of God, it does tell us that He responds.  Sometimes this is in that God voice we have in our heads and hearts while other times it is in things that happen around us.  I can attest to this firsthand, my love.  God speaks to me in both of those ways all. the. time.  He will do the same for you–keep your eyes, ears, and heart open.

Since we were on the topic of prayer, I shared another verse from my Bible study with you.  James 5:16 says “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”  While it might seem CRAZY that God would listen to our prayers and answer them, the fact is He does.  Not only that, we can ask Him for ANYTHING that is on our hearts.  When you pray for something and God gives you what you asked for, please be sure to thank and praise Him!  We did this just this week because you had a cold and we prayed that God would make you feel better.  He did and we said THANK YOU to God for answering our prayer.  Just like I would expect you to thank a friend or a family member when they give you a gift, we must be sure to thank God when He gives us the gift of answered prayers.

That said–and please learn this early–we don’t always get what we ask for in prayer.  In the same way that I don’t give you everything you ask for because I know what is best for you, God answers our prayers according to what is best for us.  Yesterday you wanted to put the Christmas lights in your mouth.  I said “No” and you screamed in protest.  You just couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t let you do that–it looked like so much fun to you!  I think we can both agree, since you are alive to read these words, that I made the right choice in not giving you what you asked for.  ;0)  God works the same way.  We don’t often understand why He says no, but we can rest in the fact that He is faithful.  We can trust that if He says “no”, it is always for our benefit.  Oh lovebug, sometimes those “no’s” are SO hard.  I have cried many tears over requests that God has said no to over the years.  It’s so hard to understand why He doesn’t answer my prayers the way I want Him to in the moment.  But every time that happens, after I stomp my feet and ask him “WHY??”, I rest at night knowing that He loves me and I trust that while I don’t understand why He said “no” I trust His will for my life.

We talked about how sometimes God answers prayers with “yes” other times with “no” and finally we have to talk about when God says “Not now.”  Sometimes God is willing to give us what we are asking of Him, but He wants to wait to give it to us on His time.  Oooh this is hard too.  Waiting is SUCH a bummer.  When we come up with something we want, we almost always want it immediately.  When God says “Not now” we have to be patient and trust that His timing is better than ours.  This is a hard concept to grasp, even for adults, so I broke it down a little further for you with the following example.  Let’s say you asked me to take you to Disney World.  I said “Not now” but you REALLY pushed and I gave in and decided to take you.  When we arrived at the park, the skies opened up and we were plagued with torrential rain for the rest of the day.  We ended up having to leave the park after only an hour because the weather was so bad.  Now…replay that same scenario, but this time I stick to my “Not now.”  I know the weather forecast and it’s going to be a horrible day to visit the park.  Instead, I opt to take you the next day and the weather is absolutely beautiful.  We are able to enjoy a full day of fun–something we would have missed out on if I honored your request on your timeline.  Remember: God ALWAYS has WAAAAAY more information than we do.  If He says, “Not now” it’s because He can see a benefit to waiting that we can’t.

Oh how I love these little chats with you.  You kept glancing up at me and cooing in a way that melted my heart.  Someday you will be an active participants in these talks and that just blows my mind.  I love you so much, lovebug.  Thanks for being incredible you.  I am beyond blessed to be your mama.

Design III

The David Report writes recently about the dearth of good design, especially noting the Milan Furniture fair, and suggests:

"An adequate question to highlight is if we should call it design, art or design-art or if we have to invent a new category and word for these experiments. Some people call it neo-surrealism or expressionism-design, but we would prefer to refer to it as Vulgarism."

They posit that there is no intellectual base from which the current trends in design can grow. They charge that contemporary designers "are more or less just doing extravagant objects. A kind of design on dope."

Oliver Ike suggests that designers are out to make quick money by being fake artists in their design work. that be dropping the functional aspect of design (a big no-no) they are left with "vulgar pollution" that they sell as art. He also tries to explain under what circumstances design pieces should rightfully be commanding high prices (as objects important to the history of design, not as art objects).

The article includes a great quote from Core 77, “This rising tide of disaffection tends to share two themes: a distaste for the superficiality of design’s media-celebrity nexus; and a growing discomfort with design’s role in generating ’useless stuff’. These two complementary critiques could be abbreviated as Anti-fluff and Anti-stuff.”

Of course there's a few quotes I'm not at ease with like this one, "Likewise we would like to quote a good designer friend of ours who refers to the Vulgarism as design for girl’s magazines (no hard feelings towards girl’s magazines though)…" Nice.

And there's the bits where the authors try to differentiate between artists and designers (quoting the British design council): “Designers, unlike artists, can’t simply follow their creative impulses. They work in a commercial environment which means there is a huge number of considerations influencing the design process. Designers have to ask themselves questions such as: is the product they’re creating really wanted? How is it different from everything else on the market? Does it fulfill a need? Will it cost too much to manufacture? Is it safe?” My instincts tell me this is oversimplified. Design requires so much more than this, and often art demands these questions be answered as well.

Overall, I respect the closing sentiment to the piece, "At David Report we believe in long lasting values as one of the best and most valuable sustainable solutions....We are producing new stuff as if our resources were unlimited. We need to buy less but better products. We need to re-use and re-cycle. The maximalistic work of the Vulgarism is unfortunately something completely different. It’s a blown up bubble of exercise in decoration offering only a hollow shell." I think this outlook is the basis of artwork already (seriously, let that thought roll around a bit), and should be adopted by all designers.

If it's not clear by now, I think art has to be the leader in all of the arenas I've been posting about these last couple of days. Simply put, I don't think money should be the biggest motivator. Maybe that makes me anti-capitalist? I still think the free-market system is okay. I just think, on a personal level, who wants to be the person who values money over everything else in this amazing world? I know we all need a certain amount to live, not contested, but I hope we are talking about after all the basic needs are being met here. I'm sure there will be more posts about this topic, I feel like I am just getting started on something here and I need to develop and refine my thoughts even further, especially in regards to my own work.

I Called Her Mahogany

"In an ode to the cult classic film, supermodel Tyra Banks and rising star Sessilee relive the high-octane glam looks of the '70s."

In other news (I'm sure if I think hard enough I will find a way to make a more graceful segue), Moe Tkacik (Moe-hogany?) aka Slut Machine (Moe-whore-gany? Is that too crass?)  loses her place at Gawker. Does this have any bearing on my life? Hmm, not really... but I will admit to being perversely interested in these college dropout types (no dis/respect intended) and how they go about the world. Plus, Moe - in spite of those comments to the contrary - seems like a decent enough person, and is entertaining even when she is being bitchy. Still, Denton's retrenchings happen often enough to make this a non-event and I guess Moe will be fine with her Radar job. I mean, Gould doesn't seem to be fairing too badly in her post-Gawker life. But then she did graduate from college, putting her more in line with all those sad young literary men. Sigh... where was I going with this?

The State of Texas VS. Health Insurance

While political officials in Texas continue to follow the procedures of the Affordable Care Act by providing health insurance in Texas to poor adults, the state of the economy surrounding this issue has been recently brought up for debate. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is hoping to renew a $29 billion waiver that gives money back to hospitals in Texas for the care they provide to the poor adults that they service.

But some of that money has the potential to be off access if the politcians of the state refuse to develop the Medicaid program of Texas to greater degrees in order to provide health insurance in Texas to poor adults in their various communities. This is an issue raised by a health insurance law developed and maintained by President Barack Obama, known as the Affordable Care Act. The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), has announced that it has been a great advantage for the state to now have health care in the state available for delivery. Additionally, the money received has recently been used to improve the condition of what’s been called the “Medicaid Shortfall,” which are the rates charged by hospitals that previously were not covered by the rates of Medicaid reimbursement strategies. This is a situation that is particularly grim compared to the rest of the states of America. Hospitals are also being paid through this system for the work they provide for poor adults and children that did not have health insurance in Texas at the time of their procedures and checkups.

The legal department of the state considered recently the condition of Texas’ contingency plan dependent upon the federal government’s choice to revoke the care fund’s deliberations. John Zerwas stated that he felt uneasy about the prospect of interrupting payments from the federal departments involved, and that it would potentially create a lot of upsets among the poorer families in Texas. If the waiter is not removed, it will continue to transform the way Texas provides services from Medicaid to the families in need without health insurance in Texas. It will also continue to provide a positive example of the system for other states to adopt for themselves. Traylor suggested that if it were removed, then it would require the group of the commission to come back together and figure out how to fund the care acts initially established through other means. Additionally, further legislature would have to take place to consider unique solutions for health insurance in Texas.

Health insurance in Texas has been a topic within Obama’s administration, and it has encouraged Texas’ system to grow beyond its program established with Medicaid and provice plans for adults living below the poverty line. It also stated that the money required would pacify the requirements for uncompensated care act under the waiver. A population of over a million within the state could be newly added to its coverage by signing up for health insurance in Texas. Unfortunately, given the short time-frame before the next session within the legislation, the politicians involved in Texas have not shown great interest in the plan, and the initiative could be slowed down by their opposition.

Health insurance in Texas has been reprimanded by the Republican affiliates in the state as ineffective in its past and ineffectual in case studies. Though these studies were not revealed following the statement, Medicaid was not granted further expansion following the proceedings. The arguments made by democratic officials to provide the approval to expand the coverage of Medicaid has not gained traction in the committee, further preventing the progress of the health insurance in Texas program. They did, however, try to include Medicaid and related health insurance in Texas material in the senate through a document from a unique health care initiative, and that too received little traction. Those interested in expanding affordable health insurance in Texas recognized the state’s general distaste to Obamacare, and therefore marginalized the affiliated initiatives. Zerwas stated that the committee has avoided the topic of health insurance in Texas expansion as of this month, and that the plan to consider other methods of expansion with federal gains were not widely discussed.

Cecil Bell, a state representative, has stated that there were outstanding reasons to be apprehensive about the plan to expand health insurance in Texas policies, suggesting that the money going towards the initiative could potentially be withheld without a trace. Plus, those writing the budget statements could reap untold benefits. Other state officials have prevented the growth of health insurance in Texas by making the same argument, stating that the increase of reimbursements could be taken care of at a later date when the books can be more actively checked. Hospitals in Texas are seeing the loss of over a billion dollars a year due to the federal cuts in health insurance in Texas, which are being ignored by the representatives of the state. This keeps the state from losing its title as the state with the highest rate of people that cannot afford health insurance.

Texas Health Insurance Quotes

Save Money Researching Insurance

Many Texans discover to their great satisfaction that the Internet offers them an excellent resource to use for obtaining important information about insurance-related subjects. During earlier decades, people generally had to meet with an insurance professional in person in order to obtain helpful advice about these topics. Today, however, an increasing number of people in Texas who need insurance find that on line resources help them save both time and money. A simple visit to helpful websites can allow them to compare different policy options, evaluate a range of benefits and examine the background and programs of companies offering applicable discounts. All of these goals raises the awareness and information possessed by prospective insurance purchasers. Now, companies vie with one another to assist customers in a vigorous, highly competitive marketplace:

Texas Insurance Quotes

Of course, on line visitors cannot obtain all these benefits without being willing to supply some minimum level of information about themselves. Not every program suits every purchaser. Additionally, it remains helpful in many instances for clients to speak with insurance agents over the phone about the details and scope of specific programs. Yet if you do hope to purchase life insurance to protect your loved ones, the Internet can provide an exceedingly helpful resource. You might consider using your computer or Web-connected hand held device as a way to locate general information about existing insurance programs. Then, when you receive some preliminary quotes, you can dig deeper and find out possible discounts, excluded conditions and other details that you will need to know in order to arrive at the optimal product to meet your needs. One virtue of communicating about insurance over the Internet involves the rapid provision of information. Databases connected to Texas insurance quote sites can quickly sort through hundreds of potential programs to uncover a few of the very best ones for your individual situation.

Texas Life Insurance Rates

You should expect to supply some basic minimum data in order to obtain a list of possible programs suitable for your life insurance needs. For one thing, most programs furnish insurance rates that will remain set for specific periods of time, sometimes for the entire life of the program. But these rates tend to involve lesser premiums by younger people and those in good health and slightly higher rates for elderly or very ill customers. Having some medical conditions can increase the statistical likelihood that a person will suffer potentially life-threatening health problems down the road, for instance. Insurance companies hire actuaries to conduct statistical analyses to help them determine the best rates to charge for particular programs. This allows many companies to offer the lowest rates possible for specific groups of applicants.

Texas Life Insurance Quotes

To obtain the most competitive rates, be prepared to furnish accurate information about your age and smoking or non-smoking status when you apply to receive on line life insurance quotes. For instance, in daily life, someone may not want to reveal their date of birth; but if you fail to accurately report your age on a website that offers insurance quotes, you will discover that a lot of the information sent to you about possible programs won’t pertain. Even a few years difference can significantly change the potential rates and some policy provisions. But take heart: for the most part, insurance companies want to compete for your business. Many offer very competitive programs designed to serve the needs of elderly or ailing people. If you search diligently, you can usually locate a program matching your individual needs!

Reasons to Get Homeowners Insurance

Your home is more than likely one of the biggest investments in your life. It could take decades for a homeowner to pay off their house in full, so this is definitely something that you’ll want to consider when you are thinking of going with a homeowners insurance policy. One of the main reasons why a lot of homeowners are now choosing this type of policy is because it ultimately protects them against many of the issues that a lot of homeowners tend to face each day. If you own a home in Texas and want to protect it completely, you need a good insurance plan to help you out; visit this website for more information.

There are a variety of reasons for why a homeowners insurance plan is a great idea for the average homeowner. For one, the policy is going to protect against a variety of things and problems that you might face throughout the span of owning the home. For one, you’ll notice that the plan can differ depending on the amount of coverage that you both need and want. If you do not want to spend a ton of money on your coverage, you’ll find that it protects against less issues than if you spent more on the insurance.

The insurance you choose to purchase for your Texas home is going to cover a range of problems. These can include flood problems, problems with the roof or overall construction of the home, fires, theft and anything else that might be a major problem for you and your family. Because of the fact that your Texas home was probably expensive to purchase and is now costly to maintain, having a level of coverage through homeowners insurance 10-15 is a great thing for just about anyone who happens to be living in this amazing state.

Another thing that you will want to think about when you’re looking into a homeowners insurance policy is that it is often a requirement for you to have this type of coverage if you still have a mortgage on the home. Texas requires that anyone who has a mortgage has a homeowners insurance plan put onto the house. The cost of the insurance can be put directly into your monthly mortgage so that you do not get hit with another bill, it is all lumped together for your own benefit in the long run. The reason Texas requires this for those who still have mortgages is because it ultimately protects the banks in case that you go into foreclosure or just lose the home in general to a major disaster.

The fact that having a homeowners insurance Texas statewide policy can prevent a lot of major issues is why many people are choosing it for themselves. If you’ve been struggling with what to do when it comes to protecting your Texas home, it might be time to think about going with a plan that is there to protect you throughout the entirety of owning that house. As stated before, the specific things that the policy is going to cover will differ depending on what you need for your home and what you’re willing to pay for as well. If you would like to pay less for the insurance, you’re obviously not going to get the full range of coverage that you might need. You definitely will want to discuss these things with a local insurance agent so that you know which plans are out there for you and which ones are going to fit within the budget you are able to afford when looking for ways that you can protect your home.

Understanding Forensic Nursing Principles

9/6/2016 8:00:00 AM - Media Team

Julie Valentine, Assistant Professor, PhD, RN, CNE, SANE-A; Linda Mabey, Assistant Teaching Professor, DNP, APRN, PMHCNS; Leslie Miles, Assistant Teaching Professor, DNP, APRN-BC

Nurses work with many individuals who have suffered trauma. BYU College of Nursing faculty—Dr. Julie Valentine and Dr. Linda Mabey (along with Dr. Leslie Miles and several undergraduate nursing students)—are researching the neurobiology of trauma, the repercussions of experiencing trauma, and interventions to improve the lives and functioning of traumatized individuals. They are specifically focusing on the impact of sexual assault trauma.

The most frequently encountered traumas involve a life-threatening accident, a natural disaster, or witnessing a traumatic event. A nurse who is caring for a patient who has experienced significant trauma should remember that it is not the event that determines whether something is traumatic to someone but the individual’s experience of the event and the meaning they make of it. Those who feel supported after the event (through family, friends, spiritual connections, etc.) and who had a chance to talk about and process the traumatic event are often able to integrate the experience into their lives, like any other experience.

It is important for nurses to understand and remember that there are no right or wrong reactions to trauma, as there is significant variability in behaviors. Some patients cry uncontrollably while others may become nonresponsive or emotionally displaced. During trauma, a hormonal flood is released, triggering a fight, flight, or freeze response. While some individuals fight or flee during trauma, others freeze—a response known as tonic immobility. Sexual-assault victims often experience tonic immobility, which makes them unable to run, fight, or yell.1

In addition to meeting basic needs and physical care, it is vitally important to address the psychological needs of the traumatized patient. During and after a traumatic event, individuals feel a loss of control. Nurses can help patients regain a feeling of control by informing them of what will happen next and providing choices in their care. Research supports that when nurses express compassion, believe victims, explain care, and provide choices to victims of sexual assault trauma, the victims report that the nurses’ actions help in their emotional recovery from the trauma.2

The influence of these professors’ studies is reaching outside of the nursing community. Last year Valentine, Mabey, and Miles co-authored a chapter on the neurobiology of trauma in a textbook published by Sigma Theta Tau.

Mabey recently completed and published a literature review on the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder in patients with severe mental illness. Her mental-illness materials suggest that nurses should be part of the efforts to develop, test, and implement treatment models.

For the past two years, Valentine worked with the police department of West Valley City (WVC), Utah, and with the Utah Prosecution Council (UPC) to train officers on the impact trauma has on sexual-assault victims. This collaboration led to implementing new protocols that aim to ensure compassionate treatment and support for sexual-assault victims.

After reviewing the cases of 2014, the results of Valentine’s work with WVC showed that sexual-assault prosecution jumped from 6 percent to 24 percent. Her work helped validate the importance of the Trauma Informed Victim Interview, which takes into account the effect of trauma on a victim’s memory and behavior. With that impact in mind, investigators conducting the interviews were more successful and comprehensive when compared to interviews gathered with previous investigative techniques. Valentine conducted a survey of the victims and found high levels of satisfaction. She also analyzed the data regarding screening and prosecution rates.

There are plans to expand the study to other law enforcement agencies and prosecutors’ offices, depending on funding.

College of Nursing

Barbara Kay Reeder Wright

By Amy Cox

After graduation from the College of Nursing in 1971, Wright worked for a year-and-a-half, and then took a 16-year break to raise her eleven children – the youngest one now in pre-nursing classes at BYU. She returned to nursing after taking a RN refresher course and has worked at Cottonwood Hospital, Alta View Hospital and the University of Utah. She and her husband decided to join forces to build and run an assisted living center in Sandy, Utah. Her husband, a contractor, built the facility and she still currently runs CountryCare Homes, LLC. Most of their eleven children have worked at the assisted living center and have all gained an ability to interact with the elderly while experiencing the joys of service.

Wright also works at St. Mark’s Hospital three days a week. She currently has 25 grandchildren (soon to be 27), and she and her husband are presently serving as ward missionaries and teaching temple preparation classes.

The third is about Motilal Nehru's attitude. His letter to Gandhi on August 14, 1929, reported his talks with the Hindu Mahasabha leaders: "We agreed that the Hindu opposition to the Muslim demands was to continue and even be stiffened up by the time the Convention was held." He concluded: "You will see that the stumbling block in our way is this question of one-third Muslim representatives and on this point even the most advanced Musalmans like Dr. M.A. Ansari, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Mr. T.A.K. Sherwani and others are all very strongly in favour of the concession. I would therefore ask you to direct your attention now to the Mahasabha leaving Ali Brothers and Mr. Jinnah to stew in their own juice."

Heavy Drinking Can Make Your Anxiety Disorder Worse – Bustle

Can Alcoholism Cause People To Develop Anxiety Disorders?

Alcohol plays a nasty trick on those who struggle with it: even if you think you’re relaxing by drinking heavily, in the end, it may actually make you more anxious. Beyond Blue, an Australian depression organization, explains that the link exists even in those of us without alcohol or previous anxiety issues:

The temptation to use alcohol to calm down in the moment, in other words, may be offset by a worsening of symptoms later.

But the alcohol-anxiety link goes further. Research has shown that comorbidity — the technical term for the coexistence of two disorders or illnesses — of alcoholism and anxiety disorders has a bit of variation, and what starts what is often unclear. “Evidence for a causal relationship,” Comprehensive Psychiatry noted in 1998, “is not unidirectional [ie it doesn’t just go one way] as alcoholism is often observed as a primary disorder, and the presence of problem drinking itself may generate severe anxiety or depressive syndromes.” People who are alcoholics have a two to threefold higher likelihood of having an anxiety disorder than people who aren’t; but part of this, scientists think, is that alcohol can actually set off or create the conditions for anxiety problems.

A possible reason for this was uncovered in 2012, when scientists at the University of North Carolina found that heavy drinkers seem to “rewire” their brains in ways that make them more susceptible to anxiety issues. They experimented with mice, putting them through experiences that had the potential to be slightly traumatic, while also plying them with minute quantities of alcohol (but enough, in a mouse’s small body, to replicate heavy drinking). The mice who were teetotal didn’t really get very upset at the experiences; but the ones who were “heavy drinkers” were completely horrified and miserable about them, even if there was nothing actually traumatic happening at the time. Researchers discovered that the brains of the alcohol-affected mice were reshaped and a key nerve cell wasn’t working properly, creating huge potential for anxiety. In other words, if an alcoholic suddenly starts to develop anxiety disorders, this is likely why.

Things continue to get intriguing when you turn to the science on inheritance. It looks as if, according to a study on comorbidity of alcoholism, depression and anxiety in families, you can inherit a propensity to be both an anxiety sufferer and an alcoholic from a parent.

Thankful for

Health care, I guess.

The fact that my pain today isn't bad neuropathic pain. Because that is by far the worse pain.

I'm not thankful for pain meds which cause such bad side effects you can't take them. Nor am I thankful for the side effects and being in more pain. Fuck off.

Threats to Dolphins

The health of many of the world’s dolphin populations are threatened by bycatch, pollution, habitat destruction, over-fishing and climate change. Other threats include activities that may frighten, displace or harm these species such as underwater noise pollution from sources such as shipping traffic, wind farms, seismic surveys and military sonars.Fisheries and bycatch Global fisheries are increasing in intensity and range. The introduction of more sustainable fishing techniques can reduce this pressure. However, the use of destructive fishing methods and the growth of many modern commercial fisheries continue to impact many dolphin populations around the world. The impacts can be both direct through bycatch and indirect through loss of prey species. Dolphins are known to become entangled in many gear types, including long-lines, drift nets, trap lines and mid-water trawls, but the largest problem remains with coastal gill nets, drift nets and purse-seine nets. The continued use of gill nets is endangering a number of coastal species of dolphin and porpoise. Some dolphin populations may also be threatened by the sheer scale of modern fisheries. As fisheries compete with one another for fish, less and less prey is available for dolphins and other wildlife to eat. Chemical pollution There are many different sources of chemical pollution, including domestic sewage, industrial discharges, seepage from waste sites, atmospheric fallout, domestic run-off, accidents and spills at sea, operational discharges from oil rigs, mining discharges and agricultural run-off. Many rivers, estuaries and coastal waters near large human population centres show signs of eutrophication and heavy metal contamination. Toxic algal blooms are increasingly common around estuaries and bays. The impacts of chemical pollution on dolphin range from direct physical poisoning to degradation of important habitats. The chemicals that are probably of most concern for dolphins are the persistent organic pollutants (POPs) including pesticides, such as DDT, and industrial chemicals; most famously the PCBs. These substances enter marine food chains and accumulate along the chain to the marine top predators. Damage to the reproductive and immune systems of marine mammals (and other species) are the likely consequences of their extraordinary pollution “burdens’. Many dolphin populations are known to be carrying heavy contaminant burdens which may contribute to increased mortality.There has been a worldwide increase in reports of viral and bacterial diseases affecting marine species as well as an apparent increase in toxic algal blooms. Habitat degradation, in particular increased chemical contamination, is thought to have facilitated disease outbreaks and the immunotoxic affects of some substances has been associated with marine mammal mass mortalities.The increasing and cumulative pressures on dolphins and the current trends of climate change may make dolphins more susceptible to disease. The transport of pathogens around the world, through the movement of products and ballast water, may increase exposure to disease and environmental contaminants may be facilitating the emergence of new diseases. In addition, exposure to chemical substances that have immunotoxic effects may lower dolphin immune responses and algal bloom outbreaks may further increase the toll of weakened populations by reducing their food supply as fish die. Ship strikes, noise, disturbance and harassmentHearing is the most important sense for dolphins, and the ability to hear well is vital in all key aspects of their lives including finding food, navigating and social interactions. Any reduction in hearing ability – whether by physical damage or masking by other sound – may seriously compromise the viability of individuals and, therefore, populations.Human-created noise in the marine environment contributes to an already significant natural biological and ambient level of sound. Introduced noise pollution comes from shipping and other vessels, military activities, fisheries anti-predation devices, ocean research, and the air-guns used in seismic testing to find oil and gas deposits. An emerging threat to dolphins are the potential impacts of marine wind farms. Whilst many of the sources of introduced noise are localized, some recent military technologies have utilized powerful detection mechanisms that may radiate over thousands of kilometres of the ocean. Potential impacts of human-created noise on dolphins range from physical damage to these animals (especially to those in close proximity to the noise source) to altering behaviour, increasing stress and displacement from important habitats. In addition, the extent of harassment, whether intentional or incidental, may be an increasing and little understood problem in coastal waters. The impact of greatest consequence associated with noise pollution, harassment and ship strikes may be the cumulative and long-term impact that we are currently unable to assess and evaluate.Habitat loss and degradationIt is important to both the individual and the survival of the dolphins population (or species) that its habitats continue to be suitable to support it. Habitat loss is especially critical for dolphins with limited range, such as river dolphins. In many areas habitat loss is caused by dams, fishing structures and withdrawal of water for human use. In some parts of the world water management, flood control and major river modification, including the removal of surface water, has led to population decline. Dams prevent migration and create barriers which fragment populations. Prey species may be reduced, while sedimentation, nutrient over-enrichment and salinity, and in turn eutrophication, increase. Habitat loss is also a concern for coastal and offshore species. Changes in the atmosphere, weather patterns and marine ecosystems are currently being observed. Predictions include sea surface changes and sea level rise. Changes in the ice-caps may affect rainfall and salinity, and temperate changes may impact on coastal upwelling regions causing a possible reduction in nutrient concentrations and 'productivity' which in turn can impact whole food chains. The modification of habitats may cause shifts in dolphin food sources (through change in upwelling patterns and prey aggregation) . Species that have evolved to find food in a highly patchy environment may have difficulties securing prey.The implications of climate change for dolphins are compounded by the apparent rate of change (some 3 to 4 degrees celsius in higher latitudes in only 50 years) which is thought to be much faster than anything that dolphins have been exposed to in the past. When considered in the context of cumulative impacts, the ability of dolphin populations to adapt to this rapid change may be compromised. Deliberate hunts Some coastal communities have exploited dolphins for centuries. There are other documented dolphin harvests in South Asia, East Asia, South East Asia, and parts of Africa and South America. In some cases, dolphin bycatch has turned to directed nets or harpoon hunts by artisanal fishers. The impact of these new directed nets hunts is not known as very little data is available on the targeted populations or the number of animals being caught. It is likely that the hunts are not sustainable. The belief that dolphins compete with fisheries or damage fishing nets has prompted culls in some regions.

Research LINK Relaunched

The current issue of Research LINK. highlights two thought provoking resources from Africa that provide insight for training Christian leaders. The first was produced by members of our own South Africa Resource Team. The second highlights 17 insights into African Leadership. Even if you do not serve in Africa, the insights offered in the report will motivate you to critically reflect on ministry in your own context. Subscribe to the Research LINK mailing list here.

A Cry for Intimacy: Insight for Training Christian Leaders

What are the training needs of South Africa’s Christian leadership? The need for training Church leaders in South Africa has been apparent for many years, but an accurate and comprehensive picture of the needs facing Christian leaders across South Africa has previously never been adequately researched… until now!

A Cry for Intimacy documents the responses from 800 South African pastoral leaders. OC workers in South Africa helped facilitate this extensive research project conducted by TOPIC (Trainers of Pastors International Coalition) Southern Africa involves ten years of scientifically verifiable research. Authors Willie Botha, David Bulger and Karl Teichert provide vital information for the future of the church in South Africa. It answers a number of key questions, including what gaps exist and what urgent needs face Christian leaders in various locations, denominations and cultural segments. It lays a critical foundation for addressing these needs and provides stimulus for further research.

The surprising discovery of the research was that the greatest felt need of South African Church leaders was intimacy with God. This was mentioned twice as often as the next felt need.

Fall Lawn Maintenance Calendar

Follow a fall lawn maintenance calendar to get a barefoot-worthy lawn and ensure great curb appeal.

It’s hard to imagine, but fall is just around the corner. If you follow a little fall maintenance, next summer’s grass will be barefoot-worthy and ensure great curb appeal., according to President’s Name, (Board of REALTORS).

The best time to patch bare or thin spots is when the hot, dry days of summer have given way to cooler temps. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Remove any dead grass.
  2. Break up the soil with a garden trowel.
  3. Add an inch of compost and work it into the soil.
  4. Add grass seed that’s designed for shade or full sun, depending on the area you’re working on. Spread the seed evenly across the bare patch.
  5. Use a hard-tooth rake to work the seed into the soil to a depth of about half an inch.
  6. Sprinkle grass clippings over the patch to help prevent the soil from drying out.
  7. Water the area; you’ll want to keep the patch moist, so lightly water once a day until the seed germinates and the new grass gets about one inch tall.

Your main job in fall is to keep your lawn free of leaves and other debris. You can use a mulching mower to break up leaves and add the organic matter to your soil, but be sure to clean up any clumps so they don’t kill the grass.

This is also the time to fertilize your lawn. Your grass will store the nutrients in its roots as it goes dormant over the winter, and your lawn will be ready for a jump start when spring warms the ground.

And remember, the next time you are in the market to buy or sell a home, contact a REALTOR, a member of the (Board of REALTORS). REALTORS are professionals who can assist you in the real estate process.

Ah yes, EARTH DAY was yesterday.....anyone else find it majorly depressing???? I went off to college (SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry) to save the earth in 1974. I thought more people would be clued in by now. It still seems like a fringe movement to me.. People think green is building a whole new house from scratch or buying a Prius and junking the old car. Then there's China.... There's not much personal responsibility on any front any more why will taking care of our environment be any different?

My one exciting and positive discovery is the Plastiki Expedition. I hope it is a true success. http://www.adventureecology.com/theplastiki/main.html

Lauren's Latest Valentines Day Recipes

Dear Friends,

I recently discovered this great blog, called Lauren's Latest, formerly GoLoKitchen. She posts great recipes for the holidays, get togethers and events. I would like to share two awesome recipes that sound delicious for Valentine's Day. I look forward to trying them myself at some point. I love sweets, and I especially love these. One is a heart shaped brownie cheesecake and another is a mini Red Velvet Oreo cheesecake topped with Nutella! How divine is that?! I thought, all my favorite desserts all in one! It sounds irresistible and the pictures definitely prove that!

Below are the two recipes, bon appetit!

Nutella Topped Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecakes

12 Chocolate Oreos
1-8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
red food coloring
1/2 cup Nutella
A picture of your ingredients

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Line cupcake pan with paper liners and place 1 Oreo in the bottom. Set aside.
In large bowl, whip cream cheese and sugar together until combined. Stir in cocoa, vanilla, egg and red food coloring until smooth and desired color. Spoon batter over Oreos so cups are filled 2/3 way full approximately.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set completely. Cool to room temperature and place in refrigerator until ready to serve. For serving, remove paper cupcake liner and place on platter. Microwave Nutella in heat-proof bowl to thin out and make more spreadable. Spoon over cheesecakes and spread to cover the top completely.

Heart Shaped Brownie Cheesecake Truffles

How cute?!

1 box brownie mix
eggs, water, oil {for the brownie mix}
8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
chocolate candy coating or chocolate wafers {I ended up using about 20 oz. of candy coating}
sprinkles, for decoration

Make brownies according to package directions. Let cool completely. Cut off any hard edges and crumble into a large bowl. Stir in cream cheese until combined–there should be no large chunks of cream cheese anywhere; mostly uniform in color. Using a 1-inch heart shaped cookie cutter, press brownie mixture into shape and then gently push completely through to form. Continue this process until all hearts are formed. Place in refrigerator until ready to coat in chocolate.
Over a double boiler or in the microwave, melt candy coating or chocolate. Place one heart shaped brownie into the chocolate and spoon more chocolate over top to coat completely. Remove with fork, tapping off any excess. Place on wax paper or cooling rack to drip. Top with sprinkles, nuts or any other desired toppings. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Makes 48 truffles.

Euro-Anti-Semitism or valid satire?

The Independent (UK) was recently taken to task in Little Green Footballs, and elsewhere, for publishing a grotesque anti-Semitic cartoon of the Israeli Prime Minister. The cartoon appears to many, including The OmbudsGod, to clearly invoke the ancient blood libel against Jews (that Jews eat and/or drink the blood of non-Jewish children) – which is still in common use in the Arab media.

Today, The Independent asks “the question: was this cartoon anti-Semitic?

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are lipid derivatives of omega-3 (docosahexaenoic acid, DHA, and eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA) or of omega-6 (arachidonic acid, ARA) synthesized from membrane phospholipids and used as a precursor for endocannabinoids (ECs). They mediate significant effects in the fine-tune adjustment of body homeostasis.

Phyto- and synthetic cannabinoids also rule the daily life of billions worldwide, as they are involved in obesity, depression and drug addiction. Consequently, there is growing interest to reveal novel active compounds in this field. Cloning of cannabinoid receptors in the 90s and the identification of the endogenous mediators arachidonylethanolamide (anandamide, AEA) and 2-arachidonyglycerol (2-AG), led to the characterization of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), together with their metabolizing enzymes and membrane transporters. Today, the ECS is known to be involved in diverse functions such as appetite control, food intake, energy balance, neuroprotection, neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, mood disorders, emesis, modulation of pain, inflammatory responses, as well as in cancer therapy.

Western diet as well as restriction of micronutrients and fatty acids, such as DHA, could be related to altered production of pro-inflammatory mediators (e.g. eicosanoids) and ECs, contributing to the progression of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, depression or impairing conditions, such as Alzheimer' s disease.

Here we review how diets based in PUFAs might be linked to ECS and to the maintenance of central and peripheral metabolism, brain plasticity, memory and learning, blood flow, and genesis of neural cells.

So, OldestBoy is on his second international trip (he went to Japan in November). He's in Florence, Italy today...sleeping as I type this (better be). His tour guide has posted a couple of pictures of the group, one a great group shot...the other a really out-of-focus picture of what I believe to be, high school kids riding in a gondola...or a camel floating on a of the two.

This child is going to see the Sistine Chapel...the Pope...Pompeii...everything I've always wanted to see, and hopefully will, one day. I hope he truly appreciates the "fantastical-ness" of this adventure he's having. I certainly do.

He's only going to be gone for 9 days total - it seems like it's an eternity. How in the world will I cope if he decides to live elsewhere to attend college? I think I'll lose my mind. It's not that I don't have plenty of kids around here to occupy my time...keep me hopping...create dirty laundry; but when one piece of this hectic puzzle is missing, things just aren't the same.

Sleep well, OldestBoy, your momma loves you so much (and really misses you alot).

Tuesday, March 24, 2009

So here I am...

...sitting in the new location for our office, and quietly reflecting on the tortured *heck* the last few weeks have been in this house. Yes, we DID move the pool table back up the stairs (the stairs have a turn at the landing, did I mention that before?), and we did move the big boys back downstairs...each into his own room. Littleboy and Babyboy now share a room, along with all their toys, and the office is back into it's original location.

I have cleaned every single closet in this house, removing bags and bags of clothes and toys to either be donated or sold. I have organized file cabinets, refolded towels and sheets, separated Legos from pirate warriors, climbed to dangerous heights (to me, anyway) on a ladder, restocked light bulbs, bought "mature" drapes (in lieu of Peter Rabbit drapes) and even bathed the cat.

Let's see...I've also replaced all the air conditioning filters, cleaned and organized my pantry, brought cupcakes to Littleboy's school, had a couple of meetings with the new accountant, and debated with the repairman about the humidity sensors in the (then) non-drying dryer.

The household budget has been reworked...somewhat (see: met with new accountant) and I learned that we will be perpetually broke. I've organized clothing and accoutrements for Oldestboy's trip to Italy this week, the ceiling fans have been dusted, snowboarding boots packed, and a dinner consisting of 450 gyoza (potstickers for Japanese folks) was pulled off without a hitch.

All this to say...if you happen to talk to me anytime soon, and ask me how I'm doing I'm going to say "I'm tired!"...and I'm really, really going to mean it.

Gods, demons, fiends, eighteen year old Alina Taylor doesn’t believe in any of them, until she meets Samuel Grant and Duncan Michaels, and discovers a world that could destroy everything she loves. (Summary from Goodreads)

My Thoughts: I enjoyed the story. There was a kind of crazy love triangle, but it was a little different than most I've read. The ending was incredible. I totally didn't see it coming at all!! I can't wait for the next book to come out.

I gotta get out of these city walls
And I need to clear my mind
My hearts been achin’
And my heads taking
Too much of my time

Into the wild

Oh, into the wild

And now its feels like
I’m finally breathing
For the first time
The world is moving
You gotta keep up
Live this thing called life

Into the wild
Into the wild
Into the wild

You don’t have to go no where, no
But life in a cage just ain’t fair

No, into the wild!
Into the wild

Supreme Court of Ohio dismisses parents' bullying case; case continues in federal court

The Supreme Court of Ohio unanimously dismissed a school bullying case yesterday that had been sent to it from a federal court in Cleveland.

That suit was filed by the parents of a Mentor high school student who committed suicide. The parents allege in their complaint that their son had been bullied for months at school, including by a student who told him the day before his death, "Why don't you go home and shoot yourself? Nobody would miss you." The parents allege that the student "endured harassment and bullying at school at the hands of numerous other students." He was also, according to the complaint, forced to endure "name-calling, teasing and verbal intimidation in one particular class and constant pushing, shoving and hitting both in class and in hallways of the high school. The name-calling was usually sexually themed."

The Supreme Court's dismissal of the case does not end the suit, however, which will now proceed in federal court.

"School Day Security and Anti-Bullying Act" introduced in Ohio House

Representative John Barnes, Jr. has introduced House Bill 116, or the "School Day Security and Anti-Bullying Act" for consideration by the Ohio House of Representatives. The proposed Act would require school districts to be more aggressive with their education efforts on anti-bullying policies.

Under current Ohio law, school districts are required to publish their bullying policy in the student handbook and include the policy in school employee training handbooks. Under this proposal, districts would be required to, twice in every school year, provide each student with age-appropriate instruction on the board's policies prohibiting harassment, intimidation, and bullying. The first instruction must be given toward the beginning of the school year and the second offered during the second semester. Additionally, the consequences for violations must be taught and an acknowledgment of receipt must be signed by the parent or guardian and returned to the school.

The bill does not change the definition of bullying under Ohio law, which defines that intimidation, harassment, or bullying as any of the following "(1) Any intentional written, verbal, or physical act that a student has exhibited toward another particular student more than once and the behavior both:

(a) Causes mental or physical harm to the other student;

(b) Is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment for the other student.

(2) Violence within a dating relationship." R.C. 3313.666

We accept volunteers at the beginning of each academic semester, and request a minimum time commitment of 4 hours per week. Opportunities currently available on all four of SPOHP’s major projects working with:

  • Archival processing Process official materials for the Library of Congress, UF Digital Collections, & more
  • Collection discoverability Improve audio and visual digital humanities accessibility in over 150+ collections
  • Original fieldwork Contribute your own independent research and histories with guided support
