TORONTO (AP) — Sloppy outfield play cost the Blue Jays a couple of runs on Saturday.

On Sunday, Randal Grichuk changed the conversation with a highlight reel catch to start a double play.

Kevin Pillar homered for the third time in two games, J.A. Happ pitched seven innings to win his fourth straight decision and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Texas Rangers 7-2 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.

Teoscar Hernandez and Yangervis Solarte added solo home runs as the Blue Jays snapped a four-game home losing streak and won for the third time in their past 10. Hernandez reached base three times and scored twice.

Grichuk made the defensive play of the game to end in the first. A diving Grichuk managed to cradle Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s sinking liner between his forearm and his chest, then threw to second base to double off Delino DeShields, who had reached on an error.

“That was huge to get out of there with a guy with as good speed as there is in the league on second,” an appreciative Happ said.

Grichuk said he was trying to stay low to keep the ball out of the lights, but stumbled just as he started to dive.

“I knew it was going to come down right around that area,” Grichuk said. “I figured ‘I’m going down but let’s throw the glove up and have a chance.’ Luckily I was able to make the play. There was a method, even through it looked absolutely terrible.”

Manager John Gibbons said Grichuk’s catch “kind of set the tone a little bit, especially with the way things have been going.”

Pillar, who has plenty of highlight reel catches on his resume, but whose misplay led to a two-run double Saturday, joked that Grichuk’s catch was short on style points.

“Mine are much more graceful,” Pillar said.

Kiner-Falefa started a nifty double play of his own to end the fourth. Toronto had the bases loaded when Kiner-Falefa snared Steve Pearce’s line drive and stepped on second to double up Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

Happ (4-1) allowed two runs and five hits to remain unbeaten since opening day, a March 29 loss to the Yankees. The left-hander walked none and matched a season-high with nine strikeouts. It was just the fourth time in 27 games a Toronto started had finished seven innings.

“We desperately needed that,” Gibbons said.

Renato Nunez hit his first home run of the season for the Rangers, whose season-high three-game winning streak was snapped.

Pillar, who went deep twice in Saturday’s 7-4 loss, made it three homers in four at bats with a leadoff blast in the fourth, his fourth.

All three Blue Jays home runs came off left-hander Martin Perez (2-3), who allowed four runs and five hits in four innings. Perez has failed to reach the fifth in three of his past four starts.

“It was a challenge for him to keep his delivery together today,” Rangers manager Jeff Banister said.

Perez, who has a 9.62 ERA on the road and a 9.67 ERA overall, took issue with some calls by home plate umpire Tim Timmons.

“I threw good pitches and they didn’t call them,” Perez said. “They looked like strikes and they didn’t give them to me.”

Solarte hit a leadoff homer in the second, his seventh, and Hernandez connected to begin the third, his fourth.

Rangers left fielder Ryan Rua made a sliding catch in foul territory on Aledmys Diaz’s fly ball for the final out of the sixth. Toronto challenged but the call was upheld.

Aspirations of Inspiration.

A row of blue manual wheelchairs.

When I started this blog as a student, I barely expected anyone to read it. I thought a few of my friends & peers might find it interesting, and I found that writing about my experiences helped me to process them. It wasn’t until some months after starting to write that I even set up social media to support my blog, & it took over a year before I bought a proper web domain, having never expected Diary of a Disabled Person to get beyond its first birthday.

As the weeks turned into months, & the months into years, my words appeared to be having a bigger impact. More people were visiting my blog, & more of them were returning each week for my latest piece. My follower count was climbing, not just on WordPress but on social media too, in particular Twitter. While I am under no delusions of grandeur or infamy (except for the fact that I am undeniably fabulous), it is hard to deny that my influence is growing.

Anyone who knew me at school will know that I was mostly quiet & reclusive, putting up walls before allowing people to get close, & preferring to spend time with my cat than other people. These traits have mellowed but still exist to this day. My loud & brash mannerisms displayed on the internet give the impression that I am an extrovert, but in reality, if I get an unexpected phone call, you can find me hiding behind the sofa. Yet I unwittingly find myself at the head of a slowly growing movement towards improved accessibility & equality for the disabled, with people looking to me for advice & asking me for my opinion on stories in the news.

Almost on a weekly basis I get emails asking me to participate in equality groups & societies based in Leeds, inviting me to give interviews for articles, & even to appear on documentaries representing the disabled community. Increasingly I’ve had to politely turn down many of these opportunities, as working full time while running a blog leaves little time for rest as it is, & I do have a chronic illness after all!

As an aside, if you message me trying to get me to sell something for you, you’re going to get ignored. If you persist, you’ll get blocked. I don’t do shady business because, contrary to my appearance, I have standards.

Anyway, to go from a complete nobody to slightly less of a nobody in the space of two years has been a lot of things; exciting, enthralling, & downright bloody scary. Recently, an American teacher emailed me to ask if he could use my short stories to educate 9th grade children about disability. After googling what on earth 9th grade means, I said yes, but the idea that I could be having an influence on impressionable youths across the globe does make me worry for the future generation.

I’m proud to achieve what I already have, & I’m excited to see where this goes next. I hope that my influence continues to grow as I would like to help disabled people of future generations have a slightly easier time of it than I did, if only so I can use “back in my day” to annoy them.

While it’s important to me that I don’t become “inspiration porn”, deep down everyone secretly wants to have left a mark on the world, & I feel like this is mine.

My book is therapy for everyone

There seems to be something in the air or maybe the water or perhaps in the stars, I don’t know, but it seems like everyone is picking on me lately.  I posted something on my Facebook profile about how I want to start riding my bike when I get down to a certain weight and I got crap for it.  Someone else insulted something else that I posted.  It’s not just online, people are giving me the rudest looks and strangers are coming up to me and giving me crap for no reason.  Why is everyone picking on me?  So I asked this question on Facebook.

rose conversation 1

Someone who is not just a friend, but also a fan of the book page responded and we were talking for a few minutes.  Suddenly I was shocked when this was said.

 rose conversation anon

As soon as she said that her father cried and said that he loved her more now than ever, I put my hand on my heart and nearly started crying myself.  I was so touched by that.  I knew that my book had helped a few people, but I had no idea that it was helping parents.  I am touched more than anyone could ever know.

I don’t know if it’s my experiences or just talking about my life or things that I as a gay man went through that made him understand what his daughter is going through, but whatever it is, I am glad that it made that big of an impact.

Of course I am not an expert on their relationship, but it can only get better from here on out right?  I’m not a parent, but I am a person who has spent my entire life trying to understand why I am the way that I am and why other people are the way that they are.  It’s not just something that someone woke up one day and decided “today is the day I want to start getting treated unfairly”, that this is just the way we are.  We were born with this.  I as a gay male was born to like other males.  A lesbian was born to like other women.  A bisexual was born to like both sexes (one or the other) and pansexual to just like a person based on their personality whether they are male or female.  Transgendered male to female and female to male is a bit different, but in a sense it’s the same thing.

Anyway, I was touched that she said that her father cried and it began the healing process for them.  This whole conversation made me totally forget about my petty problems because it showed me the bigger picture.  Who cares if a few people are jerks to me, there are people out there with real problems and if my book can help at least one person, then I consider my job done.

So thank you to this person for sharing that with me.  I really hope the healing process goes smoothly because you both deserve to have a real relationship as a parent and child.  It certainly does get better!

Grammar teaching in Portugal

  • Silva, Cristina da, Iris Pereira & Isabel Sebastião. 2019. Portuguese teachers’ perceptions of grammar teaching. Crossroads. A journal of English studies 24. 64–81. doi:DOI: 10.15290/CR.2019.24.1.05.
    • Much change in the last decades, with grammar downgraded, but most relevant Portuguese teachers teach grammar frequently. Most secondary teachers use didactic pedagogy and most primary teachers are anxious about their subject knowledge.
  • In fact, “formal learning” of Portuguese Grammar starts at Primary school (by the second year – average age 8) and goes on until the 9th year of scholarity (average age 14- 15). It is also formally taught in French as a foreign language, starting either on the 5th year or the 7th year (depending on the first foreign language pupils choose to have). I’m not sure if the same happens for English foreign language, but I can check with my colleagues (in fact, I teach French and French Linguistics at University, but since our students are mostly future teachers of languages at the secondary level, we are quite aware of what happens in that level…) [Information provided in 1997 by Filomena Capucho.]

Private reflections have replaced traditional public services and marches on a historic Anzac Day amid coronavirus restrictions.

A far-from-traditional Anzac Day marked in isolation and in spirit has added new meaning to our most sacred day.

Private, individual and unique reflections replaced traditional ways to honour our defence personnel, past and present, for their service and sacrifice, courage and bravery.

A historic day marked under the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic, without the traditional public services, ceremonies and marches.

An Anzac Day commemorated individually around Australia and New Zealand, at the end of driveways, in front yards or inside homes at dawn.

Not a normal Anzac Day, but a moving one nonetheless.

“This Anzac Day is no lesser than any other,” Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance chief executive Dean Lee told AAP.

“There is little doubt that times of adversity, crisis causes us to reflect on ourselves, our relationships to each other and our community.

“For that reason, whilst coronavirus is not a war, it’s probably the closest that many generations have come to understand what it must be to face a challenge that can be deadly.”

In fact, a grassroots campaign on social media to “light up the dawn” may have actually drawn more people than normal to commemorate the 105th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing.

There was no 35,000-strong crowd at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra like last year, yet its director Matt Anderson felt part of something greater during a unique national commemorative service.

“You had a real sense that the nation was watching, that the nation was coming together around this moment,” Mr Anderson said.

“The fact that Australians chose their own ways to honour our Anzacs, past and present, has, I think, added new meaning to the day.”

Standing alongside the memorial’s roll of honour marking the names of 102,000 men and women who have died in service, Prime Minister Scott Morrison drew comparisons to Anzac Day in 1919.

Then, the Spanish flu pandemic meant there were no city marches or parades for the veterans returning from the Great War.

“Though our streets were empty, the returning veterans were not forgotten,” Mr Morrison said.

Also on Anzac Day 1919, a small group of Anzacs who had been tending the graves of their mates gathered on the shores of Gallipoli.

“One said of that little service: it was ‘the real thing’,” Mr Morrison said.

“And so our remembrances today, small, quiet and homely, will be.”

The only place in the world where Anzac Day went ahead in the traditional manner, untouched by coronavirus, was on Australia’s small Antarctic research stations.

RSL national president Greg Melick believes this year’s at-home commemorations and initiatives like light up the dawn will continue to inspire more people to honour veterans on future Anzac Days.

“I think this is going to lead to a lot more people doing something on Anzac Day and remembering those sacrifices, both past and present,” Mr Melick told AAP after standing on the front verandah of his Tasmanian property at dawn.

“It was quite solemn.

“I think sometimes less can be more.”

Backing gays poses dilemma

Primary Endorsem ents:
Peterson clear choice in 1 st Ward;

When white Northern liberals went South to
Selma in 1963, they had much to worry about:
ridicule, abuse, even death. The heroic efforts
of those who perished in the Civil Rights
struggle will not soon be forgotten.
When brave Scandinavians, Dutch, and
Slavs hid their Jewish countrymen to protect
them from the Nazis during the thirties, their
risk was even greater: to be called a "Whites
By Joshua Peck

L OWELL PETERSON is the clear
choice for council member in the
First Ward Democratic primary.
Peterson, 22, recognizes the concerns
and problems of students in Ann Arbor
and has proven his ability to work
toward their solution.
As a legislative aide to state Rep.
Perry Bullard and a resident of Ann
Arbor, Peterson is well aware of the
difficulties that confront students-a
critical shortage of affordable housing,
and crime, especially rape, on campus
and surrounding areas.
Peterson has promised to push for
better city planning that would en-
courage the construction of more
multi-family dwellings to help
alleviate the city housing crunch. He is
also a strong supporter of plans that
would provide late-night public tran-
sportation for Ann Arbor residents and

Peterson's opponent, Clinton Smith,
has offered few substantive proposals
concerning long range city issues.
Although Smith offers some innovative
proposals on the issue of police protec-
tion (that of increasing police visibility
through a new reliance on foot
patrols), and agrees with much of
Peterson's approach to the housing
crunch, his platform becomes vague
on the matter of city government ef-
Smith argues that the efficiency of
city employees can be dramatically
improved thus saving the city many
taxdollars. Yet, Smith's proposals
aimed at achieving this end are in-
complete and would not likely be effec-
Peterson, although not new to city
politics, has a fresh, intelligent ap-
proach to city issues that could very ef-
fectively serve the students and
residents of the first ward.

Jew," the name the Third Reich applied to
Gentile sympathizers with the Jews, meant
derision and sometimes even death.
YET FOR ALL their courage, neither
American liberals nor European "White
Jews" ever had to suffer one stigma that
might have given them pause, had they been
faced with it: Neither risked being identified
as a member of the oppressed minority they
had chosen to help protect.
That may sound like a truth too obvious to
be mentioned at all, yet it bears heavily on a
systematic display of disdain and oppression
that has fouled and continues to foul the lives
of a sizable portion of the American
population today. I refer to the condition of
the American homosexuals.
I suspect I am not the only liberal who finds
discrimination against gays every bit as ob-
noxious as that against blacks, Jews, women,
and other groups who have at various times

suffered the chauvinistic narrow-mindedness
of the powerful. Yet to come out with liberal
views on the matter of gay rights is taken by
many to be equivalent to "coming out" in the
more colloquial sense; i.e., to endorse gay
equality is to confess to homosexuality
embraced the rights of virtually every other
wronged minority have remained closeted in
comfortable silence on what, in my view, is
currently the most pressing injustice in
American life.
Just last week, Representative Jon Hinson
was allegedly discovered in the act of "at-
tempted sodomy" (oral sex, presumably)
with a man in a Congressional office building
bathroom. Reaction from liberal opinion
makers was predictable and misplaced; they
rejoiced that a conservative southern
congressman who had wholeheartedly endor-
sed the reactionary rhetoric of "family
protection" (anti-abortion, anti-ERA, anti-
extramarital sex), should find himself the
victim of his own ideology.
I find it difficult to feel anything but sorrow
for Hinson. Obnoxious as his election plank
may have been, there is no reason for his
sexual preference to have ended his political
life. To the extent that the legislation Hinson
pushed thwarted others' freedom, he ought to
be censured; to the extent that he is a victim
of intolerance, he ought to be supported.
THE TABOO against homosexuality is un-
derstandable from a historical viewpoint: It
stems from a time when the population of the
world was comparatively tiny and when the
infant mortality rate was comparatively
enormous. Activity which relieved sexual
tension but did nothing to build a society's

numbers was seen - not unreasonable,
perhaps - as societal suicide.
But logical arguments against the practices
of homosexuality were not as strong as
religious prohibitions. And so an irrational
ethic, beneficial in its own day but oppressive
in ours, was born.
The arguments never seem to change: "It's
not natural," the moralists argue. Yet it oc-
curs in nature. "Male equipment and female
equipment just weren't designed to fit with
their own kind." Gays don't seem to
mind; why should we? "Th'ey're products of
an unnatural attachment to the opposite-sex
parent." And what if they are? Once they are
of consensual age, and if they are mating only
with co-operative partners, what difference
does it make that their psychosexual
development may have been different from
most? Homosexual adults, like any other
adults, ought to be free to make personal
decisions about lifestyle without interference
or embarrassment.
Compared to the task of educating the
citizenry, passage of anti-discrimination laws
is child's work. The greater and uglier battle
is with the mindset of individuals who would
hate others for loving the "wrong" kind.
Though I understand that hatred, I contend
that it has no place in civilized society.
Moral Majoritarians are again tugging at
the reins, ready to unleash their polemic and
their politicians on deviants from what they
imagine to be the true path. Perhaps liberals
-rof all sexual persuasions - will be ready
for them.

Incumbent Morris in 2d Ward;

IN THE predominantly-student
second ward, Councilwoman Leslie
Morris is worthy of re-election to a
third term. In her four years as a coun-
cilmember, Morris has made herself
accessible to her constituents and has
generally fought for students' in-
Perhaps Moms' ,greatest service is-
her responsiveness to the requests and
suggestions of her constituency. She
has always encouraged the input of the
students and residents of the second
ward and has consistently worked to
cut through City Hall red tape in an ef-
fort to solve constituents' problems.
Although Morris has been successful
in attacking the small problems and
responding to the individual complain-
ts of residents, she seems to have of-
fered little effective leadership on City
Council toward attacking the major1
Velker reluctantly
N THE FIFTH ward, neither
candidate in the Republican
primary is very appealing. The choice
is between a man who offers no sub-
stantive platform and another whose
past campaigns have threatened to
mix politics and religion. We reluctan-
tly endorse the latter.
Louis Velker is the station manager
of an Ypsilanti Christian radio station.
In previous campaigns he has
repeatedly stressed that he seeks a
council seat because "Christians
should be more involved in the com-
munity." In an interview during his
unsuccessful campaign last year,
Velker said, "before they (some
Christians) do anything, they say 'How

problems plaguing her constituency.
During the four years Morris has ser-
ved on City Council, there has been no
measurable improvement in the
second ward's acute housing shortage
or crime prevention.
Morris' opponent in the Democratic
primary race, Robert Ewing, cannot
be easily dismissed as a serious con-
tender.'Ewing is a strong proponent of
downtown revitalization and fiercly
opposes the proposed "halfway"
correctional facility, which would be
built in Ewing's neighborhood on
Broadway Rd. But, Ewing seems to
have little real understanding of city
politics and offers few serious
proposals that would effectively ad-
dress major city issues.
Leslie Morris deserves re-election,
but she must redirect some of her vast
energies toward developing solutions
to the long-range city problems
5th Ward choice
would Jesus Christ have done it?' I
would like to be a councilman with that
thought in mind."
Although during this year's cam-
paign he has downplayed his strong
religious affiliations, it is still
worrisome that he might allow his
religious beliefs to influence his
political decisions.
Yet, Velker's opponent, A.J. Lalon-
de, has no platform to endorse. Lalon-
de has been unable to propose any sub-
stantive course of action and has been
reluctant even to name the campaign
We endorse Velker in the primary
only because he is the most reasonable
of two dismal alternatives.

Primary candidates and gay rights

To the Daily:
Tomorrow, voters in Ann Arbor
will have the opportunity,
through a primary election, to
choose candidates for the April
City Council race. The
Lesbian/Gay Political Caucus of
Washtenaw County believes that
everyone wanting equality for
gay people should be well-
informed about the positions of
these primary candidates. To
work toward this goal, the
Caucus recently sent each can-
didate a questionnaire, along
with an invitation to participate
in both a recent Sunday Gay
Discussion Group meeting and an
in-depth interview with caucus
Through this reseach, the
caucus has determined the stan-
ces of those candidates who
responded, on issues concerning
gay and lesbian rights.
In Ward 1, the primary contest
is between Democrats Lowell
Peterson and Clinton Smith.
Candidate Smith did not respond
to our questionaire. Further, af-
ter agreeing to attend Sunday's
Discussion Group meeting, he did
not show up. Candidate Peterson
on the other hand, was ex-
tremely cooperative with the
caucus: responding to us in writ-
ten form, answering questions for
Sunday's Discussion Group, and
meeting with the caucus for fur-
ther dialogue.
Peterson's position is strongly
pro-human rights for all people,
with particular support for labor

and disenfranchised minorities.
He promised the caucus that, if
elected, he would attempt to
make Ann Arbor's human rights
ordinance work more effectively
than is presently the case.
In Ward 2, the race is between
Democratic incumbent Leslie
Morris and Robert Ewing. In this
case, both candidates cooperated
with the caucus. Candidate
Ewing, through taking part in
Synday's Discussion Group,
voiced opposition to
discrimination against gay men
and lesbians. He also expressed
pro-environmental views, and
stated a desire to continue Ann
Arbor's development as an
economic community. The major
focus of Ewing's campaign
seems to be the proposed Broad-
way Avenue halfway house and
his fight against it.
Similarly, candidate Morris is
also hesitant to support this
correctional facility. In respon-
ding to questions at the Sunday
group, she promisedto continue
advocating for student, low-
income, and tenant populations.
In more in-depth conversation
with the political caucus, she
promised to investigate the
alleged weakness of Ann Arbor's
human rights ordinance (as it
relates to lesbian and gay people)
and voiced willingness to in-
troduce legislation to strengthen
its enforcement. Incumbent
Morris' greatest assets seem to
be her commitment to City
Council as a fulltime respon-

sibility, and her knowledge of
Ann Arbor's political system
(and an ability to get things done
within the structure).
The third primary election
takes place in Ward 5. Neither
Republican candidate, A. J.
LaLonde or Louis Velker,
cooperated with the Caucus.
Candidate LaLonde returned our
questionaire unanswered, with
the comment, "I am not a sup=
porter of homosexuality." He
stated, however, that he felt gays
are entitled to basic Con-
stitutional rights.
Candidate Velker wrote back to
the Caucus, saying that he
refused to represent any "special
interest group." Accordingly, he

declined to respond to our
questions, or to meet with the
caucus in any setting.
In closing, we hope the voters
find the above information useful
in their selection of candidates.
We urge all lesbians, gay men,
and supporters of human rights
to vote in this primary: because
voter turnout in primary elec-
tions is not generally strong, the
gay and lesbian vote can
definitely have an impact. Let's
not waste our chance!

-Jody Wludyka,
Lesbian/Gay Political
Caucus of Wash-
tenaw County

Socialism the answer

\\ \\

, ;

To the Daily:
President Reagan's inaugural
theme was "America-a New
Beginning." But there is not
much new about the beginning of
1981 for working people, who still
face double-digit inflation, a new
round of energy hikes and, ac-
cording to an Agricultural
forecast, at least a 12 percent in-
crease in food prices in the
coming year.
Already mired deep in record-
high consumer debt, workers
face the prospect of having to
borrow more money at interest
rates near 20 percent - just to
make ends meet. With millions of
workers already out of work,
capitalist spokesmen are predic-
ting yet another economic down-

turn. According to Business
Week, "the year 1981 will begin in -
To Socialist Labor Party
spokesmen, the only supportable
program of action which merits
serious consideration in these
nightmarish times is one which
calls for production for use and
social ownership of the industries
by the working-class majority.
Genuine Socialism in the form
of socialist industrial unionism is
the only hope of the world despite
Soviet Russia's phony claims to
it. The Polish workers have ex-
posed the myth that Soviet
Russia represents socialism or a
workers' government.

Laptop Overheat

Why does my Laptop Overheat? : 3 Key Tips & Solution

Laptops have changed the way we do our work, we entertain ourselves and carry out our daily routines. The biggest reason for this influence is the portability of the laptops. The way we use your laptop tells the whole story that we are trying to tell. But, little do we realize that these practices are doing more harm to the health of the laptop. In this blog, we will focus on this issue of overheating and learn about Why does my Laptop Overheat? : 3 Key Tips & Solution. Let us first learn how to see if the laptop is overheating?

Laptop Overheat

Some common symptoms that can be seen to understand the problem of laptop overheating are:

  • Fans will make more noise, this is evident from the fact that the fans are running at top speed to cool down the device.
  • The device will underperform if there is a problem of overheating. In modern laptops, the CPU is designed in such a way that the processor will slash the clock speed to reduce the heat of the system.
  • Another way in which you can detect the problem of overheating is that your device will shut down abruptly. This happens because of a program that will execute if the device overheats to prevent any damage to the hardware.

Understanding the Problem of Overheating

The problem of overheating is generally due to the bad practices that we do while using the Laptop, to mention some:

  • We tend to use the laptop very casually, on beds, blankets, pillows, etc. In fact, on anything and everything, this practice blocks the flow of air into the air vents. To make this problem more severe, the dust which is trapped in these blankets and bedsheets enters the laptop and starts to bother the health of the laptop.
  • Another practice that ends up creating the problem of overheating is that many times, when we are in college or even the office, we do not shut down the laptop and keep it in the bag. The laptop is on, the battery is running, the fans too are on and the air supply is cut because it is in the bag. This whole thing can start the problem of overheating.
  • Sometimes the fans are not in good enough shape to keep the laptop cool. The problem may be due to clogging or accumulation of dust etc. This too can start the problem of Laptop overheating.

Solutions to solve the issue:

  • You must use your laptop on some hard surfaces like a table. This way your laptop will have better airflow and hence, this minor change in your laptop usage practice can keep the problem of the Laptop overheating at bay. You can also buy a thermal pad which will allow a better airflow for the Laptop even if you are using it on the bed or blanket
  • Always take pains in switching off your device before placing it in the bag. This is not that difficult and will surely increase the life and efficiency of your laptop.
  • If the problem of overheating is due to the accumulation of dust on the fans then you can do two things either you can get the fans cleaned from Outlets like Digital Hospital or if there is a need to get the fans changed even that can be done here.

While discussing Why does my Laptop Overheat? : 3 Key Tips & Solution there is no denying the fact that much of the solution depends on how you use the laptop. But if you also consider getting your device cleaned regularly from outlets like Digital Hospital even then the problem of overheating can be avoided to a large extent. Moreover, this would also increase the life of the device.

The problem of overheating might appear small to you and you are not the only one to consider that. But the fact is that if this problem is addressed well within time, then it is definitely small but if ignored this issue has the potential of damaging the whole device, and that too beyond repair.

Towards the end of this blog all we want to say is that devices have been made to serve you and you must take good care of them so that they continue to serve you and you must keep the tips and tricks of Why does my Laptop Overheat? : 3 Key Tips & Solution in mind to avoid any unforeseen situation.

Beat the Overheat : 3 key tips

One of the most common irritating and dangerous problem that it a laptop user can experience is the problem of overheating this is one such problem that might appear very small initially but if this problem is overlooked for a long time then in worst case that small problem can even damage shirt laptop so here in this blog we will try to understand How to fix an overheating laptops: 3 key tips and Solution. We will also focus on the reasons that become the route of this problem and while discussing the solutions we will try to rectify the root cause.

In most of the instances the cause of heating of the laptop is not very big generally the reason is poor ventilation inside the machine as the problem and its cause in this case is not a big one so you are the solutions by following some very general tips and tricks for shall we say some casual practices you can solve this problem of overheating.

Solving the Problem:

  • Dirty Fans: It is true that if dust accumulates on the fans of the laptop then there are high chances that this accumulation over the time will block or reduce the operating speed of the fans. So it is quite understandable that if the fans will not operate at their standard speed there will be a reduced air flow in the laptop which will result in overheating. All you need to do is open up your laptop and clean the fans with compressed air; do not ever try to clean the fans with a hair dryer. The opening of the laptop should be done only if you are comfortable and accustomed to opening it. If you are not comfortable don’t hesitate to take professional help. Sometimes the accumulation of dust is so much that it leads the fans to break or completely blocks the operation of the fans in such case the only solution left is that you have to look for new fans.

Dirty Fans

  • Portability should not be taken for granted: Sometimes the problem of overheating is caused because of this boon of portability. When we use laptops on laps or bed sheets on blankets on any surface. These practices hinder the flow of air, they also block the airways which will force the fans to work more and intensely so that a proper air flow is maintained. This will increase the pressure on the fans of the laptop which will again result in overheating and sometimes this may also leave the fans to break. Moreover when we place the laptops on beds or blankets there are high chances that dust will enter into the laptop from these bed sheets and blankets some. The solution to this problem is also very simple. All you have to do is place laptops on tables or any hard surface or even if you want to use a laptop sitting on a bed, then you must use a laptop desk. This is the best answer to How to fix an overheating laptop: 3 key tips and Solution.

Portability should not be taken for granted

  • Regulate the fan speeds: As we have discussed earlier that if there is not a proper flow of air it will force the fans to work harder if the fan speed is more that means there is a lot of pressure on the CPU to keep the device cool and this whole thing will heat up your laptop all you have to do is install some programs that will help you to regulate the speed of the fans in the laptop.

Moreover, you are susceptible of doing any of the above things yourself you can always take the professional help for example you can give your laptop to digital Hospital where they will provide you a variety of services for example internally cleaning the laptop fan oiling, thermal pasting etc. all these and many more gadgets related services are available at competitive prices if you want and if it is possible then Digital Hospital also provides pick & drop services at the comfort of your home.

The health of your gadgets is as important as your own health so it is very essential that you take good care of your gadgets too. Do not force them to work intensely, the more you will take care of the gadgets the better they will serve you and then you will not have to ponder on the questions like How to fix an overheating laptops: 3 key tips and Solution.

Dimitrios M. Thilikos, Bounding Obstructions sets: the cases of apices of minor closed classes

May 26 Wednesday @ 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM KST

Zoom ID: 934 3222 0374 (ibsdimag)

Given a minor-closed graph class ${\cal G}$, the (minor) obstruction of ${\cal G}$ is the set of all minor-minimal graphs not in ${\cal G}$. Given a non-negative integer $k$, we define the $k$-apex of ${\cal A}$ as the class containing every graph $G$ with a set $S$ of vertices whose removal from $G$ gives a graph on ${\cal G}$. We prove that every obstruction of the $k$-apex of ${\cal G}$ has size bounded by some 4-fold exponential function of $p(k)$ where p is a polynomial function whose degree depends on the size of the minor-obstructions of ${\cal G}$. This bound drops to a 2-fold exponential one when ${\cal G}$ excludes some apex graph as a minor (i.e., a graph in the $1$-apex of planar graphs).

Joint work with Ignasi Sau and Giannos Stamoulis.

Sakura Terrace

Digest Step Up to the Plate

July 5, 2015

Story By: Abby Sadoy | Photos by: Nathalie Walker

Japanese cuisine is awaiting you on South King Street, and those who can’t wait to try it won’t be disappointed. Diners walking into Honolulu’s Sakura Terrace are greeted with a modern-chic ambience that lets all guests enjoy their meals in its contemporary indoor or outdoor setting.

The elegant eatery offers selections of fresh and healthy seafood that look to satisfy and gratify its hungry customers. A worthy sample of its vast offerings is a bountiful serving of Deluxe Sakura Chirashi ($26). Patrons are presented with some of the ocean’s finest catches, such as ahi, salmon, abalone, uni, ikura, ika and more.

Adding to this hearty helping is a bowl of sushi rice with fresh-ingredient toppings. Garnished with tamago, masago, kampyo, kaiware and more, it delivers perfect and colorful flavors to this aquatic dish. The balancing acts between crunchy and chewy textures, as well as sweet and salty flavors, take Deluxe Sakura Chirashi up another notch.

The crunchiness of kaiware (radish sprouts) and kampyo (pickled calabash) adds contrast to the soft texture of the rice and chewiness of the sashimi.

Plump shrimp and unagi sauce build upon the many layers of flavors inside this bowl of savory sea creatures.

A zesty masago (fish egg) pop in your mouth entices your taste buds with a nice, salty kick to balance the sweetness of the rice.

This plentiful dish also comes with miso soup and tsukemono. Customers have craved and raved about the delightful deluxe, complimenting the big flavors that go into its big portions. Like chief chef Takayuki Sekine says, “It’s fresh, tasty, beautiful, and has the authentic Japanese taste.”

Five Go Festive! The Lanterns at Chester Zoo 2018

This year, I feel like I’ve skipped a couple of months somehow. November came around far too quickly and suddenly we’re into December and up until now I haven’t felt at all ready for the Christmas period. So, in order to try and get into the festive spirit I started looking into activities we would enjoy as a family.

The Lanterns at Chester Zoo is an event I’ve seen advertised for the last couple of years, and I’ve always thought that it looked amazing, really magical. So, I quickly booked to go 30th November…the perfect timing to start off our festivities as the following day we traditionally put up our Christmas tree.

There was a choice of arrival time slots and I chose the earliest (4pm) because it meant we wouldn’t get back too late for the boys and their bedtimes.

We live approx 1.5hrs away from the zoo so we aimed to leave by 2.30pm. Ben finishes work at midday on Friday so we were ready on time…with a newborn too, go us!! Ok, ok there was a lot of running around like a headless chicken from me, and several mutterings under my breath everytime someone shouted ‘Muuuummmmy’ but we were all strapped and buckled into our seats in good time, mission accomplished…I’m calling it a win!

Anyone who has ever had small (mostly nocturnal) children will know that the precise timing of naps will impact on whether you have the night from hell or not…so some preparation was required. We had all the boys in the car by 2.15pm, Eli having just been fed, James had a full tummy, a bottle of juice and had been deprived of his 11am nap, and Stanley was just a huge blob of excitement. All 3 fell asleep en route as planned which gave me and Ben a chance to chat and actually hear the radio without being interrupted…a complete luxury!!

We arrived just before 4pm and parked easily on the main carpark. The zoo closes at 3.30pm for daytime visitors and reopens at 4pm for the lanterns. Before we had even got to the ticket gates we were greeted by a man riding a huge green snail and large pink and purple butterflies flitted amongst the crowd. There was also music playing which added to the surreal magical feeling of it all. Music was to play a huge part in creating the atmosphere for the different lanterns and really added to the experience.

Once inside we were faced by a huge board showing a map of the lanterns route and the different ‘zones’ along the way.

This was our journey…

A continuation of butterflies, snails and huge flowers that towered overhead. Staff members gave us lanterns to carry on our walk…a small tin bucket style lantern for each child complete with battery operated tealight, these were a massive hit with the boys. Stanley already telling us it was like a firefly (not short of imagination, our Stan).

We were also offered a brightly coloured paper pyramid lantern that was mounted on a long stick, after carefully choosing his colour (read taking ages to decide) and then walking off, Stanley decided that it was too heavy and so in order to keep our hands free (for controlling two excited boys) we decided to give ours back.

This was my personal favourite display as the animal lanterns were huge and so detailed. And, obviously they looked very at home here in the zoo. Simply put, they were beautiful. The snow on the ground also made it feel very festive, I’d dressed the boys in their snowsuits to keep the chill out, so it made for very Christmassy photo opportunities.

The first and last animals you see in the Moonlit Meadow are the giraffes which led on nicely to…

Shangri-la was bursting with colour and pattern. The giraffe like sculptures and glowing shapes lined the pathway down to where the animated giraffe lanterns were interacting with the children.

From a child’s perspective the moving giraffe lanterns were huge and there were lots of little faces looking up in complete awe. There were definitely some ‘big kids’ too and they were Dad shaped and loving it!

Colourful boulders led the way through this world of endangered bird species. The lanterns were set at different heights with some birds in flight overhead.

James made friends with an emu and it gave him a gentle peck on the nose. The ‘puppet’ lanterns that featured throughout were a great addition, and kept the boys entertained. I think without them they might have become a little bored of just looking at the static lanterns, but trying to guess which characters they would meet next kept their excitement going. The people working the puppets were brilliant at giving the creatures character and interacting with the children. Stanley and James never even noticed the people behind them.

Soon we were into a wintery world of traditional Nordic/Scandi style Festivities. Simple silhouettes with warm white patterns and lots of twinkly fairy lights. This wasn’t the most exciting of the zones, especially for the boys but it was definitely the best smelling and tasting as it also included a teepee village hosting a Christmas food market…mulled wine fragranced the air and a huge Christmas tree was the focal point.

We left the bustle of the food market behind, and entered through a tunnel of fairy lights which made for an absolutely stunning photo backdrop.. lots of people took this opportunity and stopped to pose for instaworthy pics. However, I had two uncooperative boys and the kind of hubby who wanders off whenever a camera comes out and no amount of bribing (believe me, I tried) would convince them to stop and so the best I got was a quick selfie with Stanley that was too close to make the most of the lights (insert eye roll here).

On the other side of the tunnel was a British woodland setting with recognisable animals and a very friendly squirrel scurrying about.

This was by far Stanley’s favourite zone because right at the end, it started snowing on us!! Cue lots of twirling around in the snow (the music from Edward Scissorhands was playing, well that’s what I thought it was…I’m showing my age, but pretty perfect if you ask me!). The pure joy of two little boys dancing in the snow, in a woodland lit by twinkling lights was completely contagious and even the hubby joined in and had his photo taken!

The next zone couldn’t have been more different to the tranquil one we’d left, eccentricity ruled here. In fact there were no rules, we were in a wacky Wonderland.

Colourful potions, lampshades and teapots hinted at the mad hatters teaparty. We followed the white rabbit and spotted the Cheshire cat just before he disappeared piece by piece. Rollerskating flamingos zoomed past.

Following on from the slightly hallucinogenic feeling we adults now had, the rainforest hit us with full force. Sloths hung from vines above our heads and the huge tropical flowers were UV reactive and so so bright!!

Even though by this time we had been walking around for well over an hour the boys were still exploring the displays and calling us over to look at little details they’d discovered.

This was the final stop on our lantern journey. We walked under icey arches and met the resident penguins. The penguins were great fun, some talked, some only quacked (is that even the right term for the noise a penguin makes?) and one particular perky penguin was all singing and dancing and loved being in the limelight. I managed to grab a selfie with him, because I’m actually aged 6 on the inside!!

After we’d said goodbye to the penguins (who we were very reluctant to leave) we were given some special effect glasses to wear. These turned the ordinary strings of fairylights on the way out, into psychedelic starbursts of colour.

We absolutely loved the lanterns experience. Spending time together as a family (of five! Little Eli slept all the way through, bless him) enjoying the festive period is what this time of year is all about isn’t it?

It definitely left a magical impression on us all, and I think The Lanterns at Chester Zoo will become a yearly tradition to ramp up our Christmas spirit.

I came away feeling like a child again, and I really did have that warm fuzzy feeling inside. I’d highly recommend visiting if you’re fairly local, the lanterns are on until 23rd December, for more info and tickets click here.

Seeing is believing, my photos really don’t do it justice. #seeingisbelievingatcz

Oh, and for those of you wondering about the nap plan I carefully orchestrated…well, we had the night from hell.

Still totally worth it!!

• 1 Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat bottom of baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place ribs in dish, separating them slightly. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over top of ribs and rub to coat. Sprinkle seasoned salt lightly over all. Place sliced onions on top of ribs. Roast ribs at 425°F for 30 minutes.
  • 2 Meanwhile, in medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder and red pepper sauce. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer sauce until it is reduced and thickened a bit.
  • 3 After 30 minutes of roasting, pour BBQ sauce over ribs, reserving about 1 cup for later. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake ribs another 60 minutes (or longer, depending on thickness of ribs), basting with sauce every 15 minutes. Ribs are done when meat is tender and cooked through, and the internal temperature reaches a minimum of 145°F. You can cover the pan loosely with foil for the final 30 minutes of baking if the ribs appear to be drying out. Be sure to keep basting the meat frequently to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • 4 Transfer ribs to a plate and pour BBQ sauce over all. Serve immediately.
  • If you like your ribs spicy, add a little Sriracha or crushed red pepper to the sauce.
  • Boneless country-style pork ribs are delicious served alongside a big bowl of creamy coleslaw, baked beans and cornbread muffins. Don’t forget the napkins!
  • Technically there are no ribs in this boneless pork ribs recipe; instead the recipe uses pork shoulder.
  • With any boneless ribs recipe, make sure your baking dish has a fairly high rim as the meat will release a lot of liquid as it cooks.

According to the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals, most women will have an average of 450 menstrual periods during their lifetime. Additionally, according to a recent survey they conducted, over 80 percent of respondents reported adverse, period-related symptoms including bloating, moodiness, cramps, and irritability.

But there’s good news! Get ready to throw away your pads and tampons, because you can use hormonal birth control to skip your individual periods whenever you need to — or stop menstruating altogether. You can do this on the pill by skipping your placebo pills every month, or you can opt to halt your period entirely with an IUD, injections, implants, and more.

Even if your period isn’t so bad, you can still suppress it for the sake of convenience. So if you’ve been approved for hormonal birth control by your doctor and haven’t had any problems with it, read on! This is what happens to your body when you purposely skip your period.

Breakthrough bleeding can happen

Let’s get the bad stuff out of the way first: The main problem with skipping your period is breakthrough bleeding, according to a review by the Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine. That means you might bleed or have spotting at unpredictable times, which can be a huge inconvenience if you’re out on a date, or anywhere you don’t have access to liners or pads.

Fortunately, that might not be an enduring problem, because according to the Mayo Clinic it’s more common to experience breakthrough bleeding during the first few months of menstrual suppression. After that, you shouldn’t have to worry about it as much.

Other than breakthrough bleeding, neither site lists any known disadvantages to skipping your period, other than the side effects you would experience on hormonal birth control anyway. The Mayo Clinic, however, notes that not all doctors think it’s a good idea to skip periods. The Cleveland Clinic researchers acknowledge the same, though they note that that’s due to enduring myths and misperceptions about menstrual suppression.

Ease your endometriosis

According to the Mayo Clinic, endometriosis is defined as a condition in which uterine tissue grows outside of your uterus, on areas such as your ovaries and fallopian tubes. This can cause a wide variety of symptoms, including pain during intercourse, excessive bleeding, pelvic pain before and during your period, nausea, fatigue, digestive issues, and more.

Many of these symptoms get worse during your period, which can make the experience extremely uncomfortable for some women, possibly debilitating for others. Fortunately, according to the experts, suppressing your period can help you manage these and other unpleasant endometriosis symptoms.

Dr. Mark P. Trolice, a board certified reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist, told me that menstrual suppression can help patients who have chronic pelvic pain related to endometriosis. "These patients appear to benefit from the continuous hormonal suppression to reduce endometriosis symptoms," he shared. That’s great news for anyone with the condition, who could benefit immensely from such relief.

Put the clamp on cramps

Anyone who’s prone to cramps knows just how painful they can be, and that no amount of tea and chocolate really help that much. Sure, wine and ibuprofen can come in handy, but at the end of the day, some cramps are just persistent — and they can come back, month after month.

Just why do you get cramps when you get your period? According to Dr. Trolice, "Menstrual cramping occurs from uterine contractions shedding its lining," which makes sense. Your uterus is basically expelling the lining it took a month to build up, so no wonder it can be unpleasant.

But skipping your period can mean skipping your cramps as well, according to Dr. Trolice. He continued, saying that "continuous birth control pills prevent or limit menstrual flow thereby reducing or eliminating uterine contractions to shed the endometrial lining, ergo lessening or avoiding menstrual cramps."

Studies confirm it, so if you’re tired of huddling up to a hot water bottle every month, talk to your doctor about which options might be best for you.

A better mood

According to a study by the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals, 80 percent of respondents report feeling irritable during their period, 78 percent report feeling fatigued, and 67 percent report feelings of anger. That shows just how much hormones can have an impact on how you feel and react when you’re on your period.

Additionally, while 62 percent of respondents reported an increased desire to be intimate with their partners, 74 percent reported that they missed a chance to get lucky, which can make you even grouchier, on top of everything else. If you find yourself struggling with angst and exhaustion while menstruating, clearly you’re not alone — but it doesn’t have to be that way.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, skipping your period altogether can reduce the moodiness that so often shows up during your cycle. Additionally, you might find that you’re less stressed when you’re out and about, as you don’t have to worry about having pads or tampons on hand to deal with an unexpected period. Smiles all around.

Beat the bloat

Another unpleasant thing that most people have to deal with before or during their period is bloating. According to the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals (via Hello Giggles), 84 percent of women say that they get bloated at some point during their menstrual cycle. This is due to hormonal fluctuations during that time, which cause your body to retain water as a result, according to the Mayo Clinic.

That’s likely why you see the scale tip upwards, why your pants feel too tight, and why parts of your body swell in some pretty uncomfortable ways the week before and during your period. Fear not! If menstrual bloating is making you miserable, there’s some relief in sight.

According to the Journal of Midwifery & Women’s Health, stopping your period with hormonal birth control can eliminate or at least improve period-related bloating. So you can count on fitting into your skinny jeans all month long.

No more night sweats

Perimenopause comes with a host of symptoms. As Dr. Trolice told me, "In the immediate years preceding menopause, woman begin experiencing symptoms due to hormone deficiency, [like] hot flashes and vaginal dryness. They also can experience irregular and sporadic menses." Additionally, other symptoms can include night sweats, sleep disruptions, mood changes, changes in sexual function, bladder issues, and more, according to the Mayo Clinic.

If you’ve had it with perimenopause, you might be able to keep some of those symptoms in check with menstrual suppression. Dr. Trolice continued, "The birth control pills will provide a synthetic substitute for the deficient hormones and relieve perimenopausal symptoms." So while you can’t stop the ticking of your biological clock, you can make the passage of time a bit more pleasant.

The Association of Reproductive Health Professionals concurs, so if the hot flashes are driving you crazy, talk to your doctor about hormonal birth control and menstrual suppression.

Clearer skin for the win

Remember when you were a teenager, and everyone said you don’t get zits when you grow up? That was, of course, a lie.

Fewer things are more irritating than a breakout, especially when you’re planning for a photo op, anticipating a big date, or preparing for an important job interview. So if you are prone to bad breakouts during your period, you’re a good candidate for hormonal birth control, according to Dermatologist Jennifer Lucas and the Cleveland Clinic. That’s because birth control pills can regulate the hormonal imbalances that cause breakouts to occur, sparing you from pesky pimples.

Gynecologist Linda Bradley is in agreement. She wrote on the Cleveland Clinic website that, "If your face regularly breaks out with pimples during your period, using the pill to avoid menstruating altogether can leave your skin clearer."

You’ll also save money on blemish creams, concealers, and acne treatments — and never have to worry about menstrual-related acne again.

Bye-bye menstrual migraines

Anyone who’s ever had a migraine can tell you how awful they can be. So if you get menstrual migraines, skipping your period can help you avoid them — which can be game changer.

Dr. Laura Mercer, OBGYN, Clerkship Director and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine told me that for some women, "not having periods may also mean they get to avoid the unwanted symptoms that can sometimes come along with having a period." These symptoms can include PMS/PMDD, cramping, and migraine headaches.

The kind of pain that comes with migraines is significant, even disabling, according to the Mayo Clinic, sometimes lasting for hours or days. For these sufferers, relief is powerful. Dr. Mercer continued, "For these women, menstrual suppression can quite literally be life changing. There is no medical need to have a period while using hormonal birth control methods — and when you stop using these methods, your body returns to its baseline fertility almost immediately for most methods."

Skip your period, and skip the headache, period.

No more intimacy anxiety

Even if you don’t suffer from painful headaches or horrible cramps, your period can still be an unwelcome, unexpected visitor at the most inopportune times. What if you’re planning a weekend getaway with your sweetie, and don’t want to have to deal with your period while away? What if you’re heading to spring break, and you don’t want to stress at the beach? What if your honeymoon is coming up, and you don’t want to be menstruating during the most romantic trip of your life?

You can skip your period for that, too, according to the Cleveland Clinic — and it’s totally safe for your body. Dr. Mercer affirmed this, telling me, "Different women may have different goals or reasons why they want to suppress their periods. For some, not having a period is simply convenient and easy (and allows them to stop worrying about having pads and tampons on hand)."

So it can make a huge difference to leave the period stress at home.

Lower risks of cysts

Although between eight and 18 percent of women will develop ovarian cysts in their lifetime, it’s possible to have one (or several) and not even know it, according to the Cleveland Clinic. And while there are some that you won’t even feel, other cysts are associated with pelvic pain, and can disrupt your daily activities and well-being. Additionally, although the vast majority of these cysts are benign, 13 to 21 percent of them can be malignant.

If you’re one of the people prone to developing painful ovarian cysts, menstrual suppression may be a good way to prevent them from occurring in the first place. Linda Bradley, MD, Vice Chair of the Cleveland Clinic Ob/Gyn & Women’s Health Institute, wrote on their website, "Skipping your period by using birth control pills (or other hormonal methods) can prevent these cysts from forming or help eliminate any you currently have." That’s a sensible solution to the problem.

Stay in the game or on the job

Most experts agree that there’s really only one medical reason to have a period, and that’s if you’re trying to get pregnant. Dr. Sophia Yen, CEO of Pandia Health, a reproductive health specialist, and a reproductive rights advocate, shared that the only reason we get a period in the first place is because we aren’t pregnant.

She continued, "We build the lining of our uterus each month to accept an embryo. If we aren’t trying to get pregnant, then why build that lining and then have to shed the lining and risk endometrial cancer each month?"

So if you find your period impedes your athletic or work performance, you really can just drop it. Dr. Yen also shared that fewer periods aren’t a bad thing. In fact, she explained, fewer periods also means less anemia, a lower risk of some cancers (including endometrial and ovarian cancer), less landfill waste from our tampons, pads, and applicators, fewer days of missed work or school, and even better athletic performance.

It worked for astronauts and it worked for soldiers, so likely it can work for you.

Your uterine lining won’t over-thicken

One concern that you may have is that if you skip your period or stop it altogether, your uterine lining will build up unnaturally because you never bleed. It might seem like an intuitive result, as the lining thickens and sheds each month for most menstruating women.

However, that’s not the case, according to the experts. Dr. Erin Saleeby, the chairwoman of OB-GYN at Harbor-U.C.L.A. Medical Center, told the The New York Times that continuous birth control prevents the uterine lining from building up.

She said, "You don’t have a proliferation of that tissue, and it’s just not there at the same level that you would quote-unquote ‘need to bleed.’" In other words, your lining won’t over-thicken because it doesn’t build up in the first place.

Dr. Saleeby’s assertion is confirmed in the Journal of Midwifery & Women’s Health, so that’s one less thing to worry about if you’re considering menstrual suppression.

Filled with the Spirit

And just exactly what does that mean? If I am filled with the Spirit, will I know it? These questions are asked by Christians who want to walk with God and please Him. Yet some are afraid they are missing out when they hear the stories of others who claim to have had a special filling of the Spirit.

Herb VanderLugt has examined what the Bible has to say about this subject and shares his thoughts with us. We pray that this booklet will help many to have a deeper understanding and experience of the Spirit-filled life.
