Puberty is the age at which the girl or boy becomes capable of reproduction. Writers differ in the use of the word. Many use it to denote the whole period of time during which the procreative ability continues which is usually from the 14th to the 45th year. There are still other uses of the word, but we will use it as the age when the boy or girl becomes sexually matured or ripe, the first indication of which is the menstrual flow in the girl and seminal emissions in the boy.
This age of puberty is celebrated by initiations among savage peoples, mostly for the purpose of trying the powers of endurance in the boy or girl. The boy is taken away among strange tribes, is subjected to the greatest physical pain and hardship, and among some tribes is circumcised. The girl is often subjected to a vaginal incision and should she cry out or show any sign of suffering she is disgraced among the women of her tribe and promptly expelled from the settlement. In Ellis' Psychology of Sex the author relates of the Yuman Indians of California how the girls prepare for marriage at the first sign of menstruation by being wrapped in blankets and placed in a warm pit for four days and nights. The old women of the tribe dance about them and sing constantly; they give away coin, cloth and wheat to teach the girls generosity, and sow wild seeds broadcast over the girls to cause them to be prolific. These and various other initiations are practiced by nearly all savage tribes. The boys and girls receive their sex knowledge at this time, and are instructed in the duties of married life.
The girls are fully informed of the menstruation. It has been said the knowledge of sexual relations is openly discussed and naturally taught; that therefore, it has no glamour for men, and that in consequence the women of these tribes are virtuous.
Perhaps you will wonder what bearing all this has on What Every Girl Should Know. I relate it only to show that the savages have recognized the importance of plain sexual talks to their young for ages, while civilization is still hiding itself under the black pall of prudery.
When we speak of puberty it is necessary to have some knowledge of the organs of reproduction and their structure. So far the physiology taught in the public schools has not treated of these organs. In order to get books on this subject a girl is met with the question: "Are you a nurse or physician?" If not, the books are denied her. Consequently the average girl is kept in ignorance of the function of these organs, and is at a loss to know where to go for clean information. It is necessary, therefore, to give this information here, without mincing words, if there is any benefit to be derived from the following articles. It is very simple for the girl to learn the correct names of these organs and call them by such names. They are the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina and breasts. The breasts were not always classed as reproductive organs, but later writers recognize their relation to them, and as such they are now included.
Let us first take the ovaries, which are two small glands about the size and shape of an almond, placed one at each side of the extreme lower part of the woman's abdomen. They are imbedded in large muscles which also help to hold the uterus (the womb) in place. Inside the ovaries are thousands of little eggs called ovules, which have been there since the birth of the girl. The work of the ovary is to develop and mature these eggs, and send them on to be fertilized. At the time of puberty, these eggs are all in different stages of development. Those in the center of the ovary ripen first and burst through the outer cover of the ovary (which is like a capsule and at the time of menstruation becomes swollen and congested). The ovule is caught by the fringy ends of the fallopian tubes, which are in a constant lashing motion, which motion sends the egg through the tube to the uterus.
The fallopian tubes join the ovaries to the upper and outer angle of the uterus. Sometimes the sperm cell from the male comes up into the tube to meet the egg and it is fertilized here, but this is not the nest nature has prepared for the egg's development, and unless it returns into the uterus it causes serious trouble and an operation is necessary. Impregnation in the tube is very rare, but it is possible.
The uterus, often spoken of as the womb, is a hollow muscular organ into which the egg comes from the tubes to be fertilized. After fertilization it remains here, is nourished and developed until it can develop no more. Then it is thrown out by the contraction of the muscles, which process we call the birth of the child. The uterus is about three inches long, its shape is like a pear with the small end downward. It is not fastened to any of the bony parts, but is held in place by the ligaments and muscles, which also allow it to move with different movements of the body. One of the most interesting features about the uterus which is so small in its cavity is that it can attach to accommodate the growing child within it to the length of nineteen to twenty-one inches. This is because it is one and one-half inches thick and composed of layers of muscles which are tough and yet elastic. At the upper side of the uterus are the openings into the fallopian tubes. At the small end of uterus is another opening leading into the vagina. It is through this opening the sperm of the male comes in order to fertilize the egg. Thus you can readily see the uterus is the nest or cradle where the egg is to live until it becomes strong enough to subsist on other nourishment.
The vagina is a muscular tube-like passage which extends from the small part of the uterus (called the neck) to the outer surface of the body where its opening is usually partly closed in virgins by a thin membrane or film known as the hymen. The walls of the vagina are also very thick and elastic. This is sometimes called the birth canal. The hymen was for years a subject for discussion in the professional world among physicians. In my talks to girls I find it a subject of great interest and often anxiety to many of them, for the average girl seems possessed with the old idea that the presence of the hymen is necessary to marital happiness. The time was not long ago when its absence was considered cause for serious discord between husband and wife, and I have been told that under the old law its absence was sufficient ground for divorce.
Fortunately, modern science has thrown some light on this subject and disproved the theory that its absence was necessarily due to a woman's having had sexual relations. There are cases on record of women who have lived four and five years in prostitution who were found with perfectly preserved hymen. It is important to know that it differs in size and shape in women. Also, that in some women it has been entirely absent since birth. It can be destroyed by accident or injured by operations, or examinations where the physician did not use the greatest care. In some women it is easily destroyed; in others it is more difficult. It is not at all uncommon for a physician to find the hymen unruptured when he comes to deliver the first born child. All of which goes to prove that neither its presence nor its absence is necessarily the sign of virginity.
Now that we have some idea of the situation of the reproductive organs and their relations to one another we shall be ready next week to consider in greater detail the ovule or egg in the ovary.(To be continued.)

Balancing Act
To say I've been in a writing slump is sugar coating the matter. It's not that I have nothing to say (I always have plenty to say), rather it is finding the motivation and energy to commit "pen to paper" and get it posted. Maybe it's a touch of the "winter blues" ~ Maybe it's a year of transitions zapping my reserves of energy and creativity ~ Maybe it's trying too hard to be "Super Susy Homemaker" as a fly from one task to the next, yet never seem to finish anything. Whatever the case, regular blog posts fell to last place in my daily race against time. I opened an empty Word document at least once a day, only to stare dumbly at the screen.
I cannot promise such a lapse will never happen again, but I can commit to kicking myself back into gear. I've seen a trend among bloggers posting a yearly focus word, rather than a list of resolutions. For me, in 2016, that word is BALANCE.
Stay-at-home mom, contract counseling work, direct sales businesses, homeschool, household chores, church activities, family time – oh how the list goes on. Something will always be undone at the end of the day, especially when the balance of priorities is out of whack. Finding that balance, dwelling in it – that is where I find peace. I know that it is possible, but only with God and realigning my priorities with His will for my life.
I link up with bloggers all over the world.

Jemil Ahmed (Biology, '17) wins Microbiology Research Award!
April 9, 2016: Jemil Ahmed has earned the Ichida award from the Ohio Branch of the American Society for Microbiology for his research into how an extract from the spice turmeric may aid severely ill animals. Ahmed is working with Prof. Suren Ambegaokar to study how different concentrations of curcumin, an antioxidant found in turmeric, affects laboratory-maintained cell lines infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). The virus can cause severe illness in animals and livestock, including horses, cattle, and sheep.
BOMI Banquet - A Tasting Event!
Feb. 12, 2016: The BOMI Student Club sponsored an event for BOMI majors to experience first-hand the way in which plants and microbes are part of our food and drink. Prof. Jann Ichida volunteered to host the party at her beautiful house in Delaware, and below is a summary of the night, as written by Mrs. I:
"Wonderful fellowship and even original musical entertainment by the Ohio Prof of the year. What a perfect BOMI song for us to treasure.
The pizza was served with a quiz on the origin of the ingredients---won by the Botany students.
Warm wild morels and other fungi were starters with all sorts of dips and chips.
There was a tribute to enology and the microbes that give us red and white wines. What fun to learn about the ingredients for making bread and beer with guidelines on the yeast and hops for flavor and contentment. Ah, those smooth N bubbles!
Tastings of chocolate from three countries and a huge batch of root beer to brew with samples for everyone to take home. (Micro majors scored the Colombian brew the best!)
Cheeses and dips with chips, cool dragon fruit to taste and then the neuro-brainy Magical Fruit to taste and change our senses for sweet and sour.
Of course Mrs. I's House Hen, Fleur, and her various collections of mushrooms icons and other 'protective' devices provided some entertainment, too.
Thanks to the BOMI board for the planning and transport. Great idea...we shall do it again!"
Laurie Anderson named Ohio Professor of the Year!
Nov. 15, 2015: The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) this year awarded Dr. Laurel Anderson (Botany & Microbiolgy; Environmental Studies) the 2015 Professor of the Year for Ohio.

Few days ago my mom gave me as an early birthday gift an eye shadow palate from Anastasia Beverly Hills that I was dying to have it since I heard so many possitive review that I knew that I got to have it because 1.) it's from ABH 2.) the colors are pretty and 3.) I love Renaissance from both to history to art....and 4.) Cruelty-free
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette ($42) is a new 14 shades eyeshadow palette that launched in Summer 2016 which most of them are (what a miracle!) matte eyeshadows. I personally find it quite unique as it contain both warmer neutral to a stronger color.
The case is a pastel purple velvet. I love the case and I love the texture but the small problem is if it get stain it will be pretty hard to get rid of it but overall I don't really have much to complain about it also on the inside of the packaging comes with a mirror so that cool even tho I rarely use eyeshadow mirror.
The palette also comes with a double end brush which is quite handy I personally don't think it's the greatest brush ever but hey it still handy tho.
I personally think on what makes Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette is fairly unique is not that it only have some bold shades of berry and orange but combination of the vibrant shades to the warmer neutral shades.The eyeshadow palette is quite buttery and it's to blend the colors.Some of them are quite pigmented when you take them off some of the pigmented will remain on your eyes lids kinda like Lime Crime Venus eyeshadow palette.

Passportia – Immigration Experts
Passportia is a specialist immigration firm which is independent of the UK government and regulated by the Office of Immigration Services Commissioner. Applications for UK visas are made directly to the Home Office or visa application centres, however legal advice on making a claim cannot be obtained from these bodies. Our specialist lawyers offer advice and advocacy services in relation to applications for immigration and visas to the UK.
Why Passportia?
Moving to another country is an important life event. Using an experienced adviser like Passportia helps to reduce the risks. We take away the stress and uncertainty in applying and maximise success.
Whether you are still thinking about possible options or have already identified a particular immigration category, we can work for you. We can identify visa routes that you had not thought of, or can explain how a particular visa actually works in practice.
Remember – information submitted with an application cannot be removed, and a failed application can damage prospects of a future application, even an application in a different category.
Passportia is proud of its reputation and committed to providing high quality advice and good value for money.
Our Services
We assist individuals and families wanting to migrate to (or remain in) the UK in all immigration categories, including:
- Extending your visa or leave to remain in the UK (see below)
- Indefinite leave to remain
- Spousal, fiancée, civil partner and unmarried partner visas

Or call using WhatsApp or FaceTime on your smartphone – click icon (+44 7840 922 721)
Extending your visa in the UK
If you are already in the UK, it is important that you do not overstay your leave or visa. In almost every visa category (unless you are a citizen of a European Union/EEA country) you must extend your leave or visa before it expires, otherwise there can be serious problems for future applications. The Home Office regularly changes the rules and the requirements to extend your visa may have changed or become more difficult since your last visa was issued. You should prepare for an extension at least 2 months before expiry.
How the Home Office Works
The correct application forms, documents and fee must be submitted together. Almost all applications are decided on these papers alone, without any other communication with the Home Office official, so the way that information is presented is crucial. If your application is refused, you will lose the application fee and it can become more difficult for a future application to succeed.
The growing restrictions on the right of appeal against visa refusals means that it is very important that an application is carefully prepared by a person with substantial knowledge and experience of the law and Home Office policy.
How Passportia Works with a Client
Here are the steps we go through with a client:
- We discuss your requirements and the options available. This is face-to-face in our London office or by phone.
- We confirm in writing the outcome of the consultation. This:
- States the information you provided.
- Explains the UK laws that apply to your situation.
- Sets out a fixed fee quote and time estimate for an application.
- Describes the steps and documents required for an application.
- If you decide to proceed then the remaining steps are as follows:
- We check that we have all documents required and that they are correct and consistent with the application.
- We write a letter of representation demonstrating that you meet all legal requirements and addressing any issues.
- Where applicable, we provide you with guidance on attending a visa application centre and any interview.
- You check and sign the application form.
- We submit the application to the Home Office.
- We deal with queries from the Home Office that may arise during the application processing.
- You receive regular updates while your case is in progress.
- We notify you of the outcome as soon as we know and send you the documents.
Your case would be personally handled by the same senior adviser from start to finish. At any stage in the process you can contact this advisor to ask questions or discuss concerns.

Smashed my iPhone this morning, called Titan IT at 11, dropped it off at 12 and picked it up at 4. I had expected to have to leave it for a few days, so having a same day service with no extra charge is pretty impressive. Really happy with the service, and they even added a screen protector to my phone as part of the fee. Good as new, lovely staff and excellent job on the repair. Thank you...would definitely recommend.read more

I got in touch with Titan IT service because I had a problem with the Hard Disk of my laptop. I brought my laptop on Monday after I called them and the day after they gave me an accurate analysis of the problem. The hard disk was compromised. They talked about the possible solutions and costs with an extreme transparency asking me more than once if I was sure about what I wanted to do. They told me that they could give an update about the feasibility to recover the data with one or the other of the two solutions they proposed to me within two days. Two days after they got in touch with me again saying that the data could be recovered and that on Monday I would have had all the data back. I decided to go on with the process to recover all the data from my personal computer. They respected all their promises, sending also during the process a couple of files I needed of. I extremely recommend this service, for their professionalism, transparency and kindness. I also want to spend a couple of words against the bad reviews I read highlighting that they are by the side of the customer suggesting what is the best and discouraging to take specific action on the base of the best cost/benefit ratio and with an extreme transparency.read more

Came to the guys at Titan as my MacBook had broken. The fan was making a loud noise, it was going slow and it wasn't charging. After being quoted £380 to resolve this, I brought it to the team here...and it only cost me £60! Aside from the obvious great price difference, the guys were super friendly and when the first resolve didn't work, they happily worked on it again with no fuss like true professionals. Plus despite being in the middle of a pandemic, the team were super quick in getting it fixed! This was incredibly helpful as I use it for work daily. Would 100% absolutely recommend the team here and they will definitely be my go-to for tech fixes. Great price and great service.read more

Amazing first-class service. My fault was diagnosed quickly and I needed to replace my hard drive, which was done. On reloading my data from a backup, I made an error which stopped the machine booting. A quick phone call to Titan and they asked me to bring the computer in, which I did and after half an hour I was up and running. Can't thank them enough and would have no hesitation in recommending them.read more

Had an issue with the motherboard and hinging of my dell laptop (wouldn't turn on), took it to another Glasgow repair shop (well reviewed) and they told me that the issue couldn't be fixed. Took it into Titan to get a second opinion before I bought a new laptop and they were able to fix the issue for a fairly reasonable price. Delighted as I thought the laptop was beyond repair, at the time of writing the laptop works great again (they give an 6 month warranty on repairs which is good). Professional and considerate service throughout.read more

The best Mac repair shop you can find! Honest lad who does board level repair, which is SUPER RARE to find nowadays. Got quoted a price of 400£ by another shop which is absolutely ridiculous, and Apple themselves wanted 10 days to just "evaluate" the problem. This guy got it sorted in 2 days at less than a quarter of the price! He even charged less than originally quoted because it wasn't as damaged as we thought. An honest man with the skills the Apple "genius" will never have!read more

Got a phone call this afternoon (Monday), ready to pick up. Is charging again as normal so Titan saved me having to shelve out to get a new one. Thanks guys. Happy to recommend you.read more

My only regret was not coming to this place in the first place. I had a dodgy battery fitted to my iPhone at a previous place, without even opening up my phone they looked at my phone and said exactly what was wrong with the battery.

Bathtub Refinishing vs Bathtub Replacement
Tub Refinishing vs Bathtub Replacement
Even though bathtub resurfacing will save you up to 80% of the
cost of tub replacement. Depending upon the situation, your
goals, and if you don't mind the extra expense and mess,
replacement may make sense. However, it is a project that
should be done by experts after careful planning. Sometimes it
can be difficult to fit a new tub into an existing bathroom, often
requiring removal of the other fixtures in the room. It is
necessary to redo the plumbing, which can be quite costly. The
surrounding walls will also have to be redone, adding additional
cost and time. The price for bathroom remodeling can easily add
up to thousands of dollars. Also tub resurfacing benefits you by
saving you the headache of dealing with multiple contractors.
For most people, replacement is a last resort, as tub refinishing
is a far more cost-effective option. It
will save you time, money,
down time and a huge mess. When done with the highest quality
materials, this new surface can last over 10 to 15 years. The tub
reglazing will be durable, scratch resistant and easy to clean.
Refinishing will restore your existing tub to a like new condition
in only one day, rather than days to weeks that it takes to
replace a bathtub.

Silvia Catten
Candidate for Millcreek City Council District 1
Salt Lake County
UCA Candidate Survey
Should government be involved in funding the arts and humanities?
Please explain your answer (one or two sentences is sufficient):
There is so much value in creativity and expression that is often disregarded completely or forgotten. The government should be equally invested in funding arts and humanities as it is in funding science and math--both of which create a diverse and dynamic society.
If your elected office could impact the amount of money spent on public K-12 arts & humanities education, what would you choose to do?
Increase Spending
If your elected office could impact the amount of money spent on after school K-12 arts & humanities education program, what would you choose to do?
Keep Spending the Same
Do you believe that during-the-day arts and humanities education should be a part of K-12 curriculum?
If your elected office could impact the amount of money spent on cultural programs, what would you choose to do?
Increase Spending
Do you consider the arts and cultural sector an economic driver in Utah?
Do you support Utah's Percent-for-Art Act, which designates 1% of public building costs for public art?
Do you support the designation of Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty as the State Work of Art?
If your office could impact legislation, would you support a bill that exempts cultural non-profits from property tax?
Please explain your answer to (one or two sentences is sufficient):
I find a lot of value in diversity.
Would you support a minor increase to bed or tourism taxes to fund more cultural districts in your community?
Please explain your answer (one or two sentences is sufficient):
It's hard to say whether a cultural district would be appropriate in any community. Safety, accessibility, need, and aesthetics are things to consider before implementation of any type of cultural district.
Last year the state legislature passed a bill (HB223 Local Historic District Amendments) restricting the creation of historical districts. What are your thoughts about historic preservation? (One or two sentences is sufficient).
Similar to cultural districts, there should be a substantial amount of thought and consideration before implementing a historical district.
Have you had a personal experience with arts, culture, or humanities that has had an impact on your life? Please explain (one or two sentences is sufficient).
I am trained in classical ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, contemporary, and modern dance. I have been a dance teacher for many years and studied it briefly on scholarship in college. Dance has had an incredibly positive impact on my life, and has given me opportunities to travel, work, teach, and learn. Creativity, artistry, and expression continue to be important aspects of my life.

Today I am grateful for:
The fact that I am writing again. Even though I've got a single-track mind which always seems to drift back to my mother.
Family lineage. The picture above is of my mother and Hannah the day she was born. Can you see the resemblance? Can you see the determination & patience & persistence they share? Can you see the beginnings of the fine-tuned sense of humor in my daughter? The laughter & pride in my mother's eyes? Good lord, I am *so* grateful for all of that. All that I know of being a mother, my mother taught me through the way she lived her life. All that Hannah will know of how to grow into a woman began with a seed of inspiration going back through generations of women in my family. Grateful, grateful, grateful for that lineage & all the strong women who came before us.
What are you grateful for today? Write it down & share it!

Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden in central Indiana, the garden is on the verge of something big, a grand finale when the asters and goldenrod will burst into bloom and pollinators from miles around will flock to the flowers for their last bits of nectar and pollen before the final curtain falls and...
Well, we won't mention what comes after that. We'll focus on what's blooming right now.
First up, the diminutive boltonia, Boltonia asteroides 'Snowbank' is blooming in August Dreams Garden border.
Behind it, or in front of it, depending on where you are standing, the rare goldenrod, Solidago shortii 'Solar Cascade' is just starting to bloom.
Down the way, under the copse of serviceberries, Colchicum blooms have appeared to add a little bright spot in an otherwise dull area.
Nearby, false sunflowers, Heliopsis helianthoides, are still blooming.
Just on the other side of the grape arbor is the vegetable garden. There are not too many vegetables left to pick but there are still plenty of zinnias blooming.
What else is blooming? A few roses, some hostas, marigolds, purple hyacinth bean, liriope, hardy begonias, tall sedum, mums, and toadlilies, to name a few blooms. There are probably more flowers to name, but most are them are leftovers of past months, reminders of the summer that is nearly past.
A lot of people think the end of summer is the end of flowers. We know it isn't the end, and we can hardly wait for the big finale this fall when the asters bloom in all shades of lavender and purple.
It is.
What's blooming in your garden on this lovely September day? We'd love to have you join in for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day and show us.
It's easy to participate. Just post about what's blooming in your garden on your blog, then come back here and leave a comment to tell us what we have to look forward to seeing, and a link in Mr. Linky to make it easy for us to get there.
And always remember...
"We can have flowers nearly every month of the year." ~ Elizabeth Lawrence.

Small Groups
Small Groups
Kingdom Life Church has several weekly, fortnightly or monthly Small Groups which fall within 3 categories; Mission Groups, Equipping Groups and Life Groups. These groups are for regular attendees in Kingdom Life Church. They run on different days/times of the week and each type of group has a different emphasis for meeting.
Our Mission Groups are for those who wish to find a way to introduce a friend to church without having to go straight for a Sunday meeting! Misson Groups are small, friendly and hosted often at someone's house or in the Kingdom Life Church building. Each group has a unique theme and purpose.
Equipping Groups aim to instruct group members on a certain topic or in a bible study following a certain passage or topic. These groups are educational and train individuals up for ministry in their everyday lives.
Life Groups are designed for members to join in fellowship with one another, share testimony together, pray for each other, worship collectively and study the Word together in a relaxed homely environment.
Sign up is now open for this term's small groups. If you want to enquire about any small groups, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

I am SO excited to tell you about the recipes we get to feature tonight from Now Go Cook! With a mission "to inspire and empower YOU to reach for better health, one meal at a time", Jodi has come up with some of the most unique, tasty and overall, healthy, recipes that I personally love and enjoy. Tonight, we focus on her top 3 cancer fighting recipes!
Just about every one of Jodi's recipes contains cancer fighting foods because they are made from whole food. And whole food is medicine to the body. The foods with the most C-Killing powers are those that are anti-inflammatory. Click the pic for the recipes and check out a few foods with those powers in them:
Powerhouse Kale Salad
I was not a huge fan of kale before this salad, and testing this out really changed my mind about it. I put kale in almost everything now! This makes a gigantic salad, so it lasts for days...a super great idea to meal plan with this recipe if you have a tough chemo week ahead or know of someone who does! #dontkalemyvibe
Moroccan Chicken
Red Lentil Curry Soup
Curry's just cool because it has cancer fighting properties... dare ya to google "curry fights cancer". My other thought about this recipe is that it's a great one for those in chemo or radiation treatments that have those dreaded mouth sores. I remember staring at my Chick-Fil-A in chemo one day and crying because a fry touching that sore was pure torture. Soup is a different story...soup is sippable and not nearly as torturous as a waffle fry. And this soup in particular, will assist your cancer-fighting treatments!
**side note, in the mouth sore-free life, there is not a single flaw in Chick-Fil-A fries
So there you have it! Spark the Way's first collaboration with Now Go Cook! Stay tuned for more, try out the recipes and spread the word! Oh, and don't forget to leave your comments below when you try out a recipe or gift it to a pal! "Whole Food for your Whole Life."

Well, you need to tell the player that it must play a "C3" note so that the effects play as they should.
In the "note" value of the assembler code that you posted. Right now it's zero but it should be something else. Try 35.
note_C EQU 0note_Cs EQU 1note_D EQU 2note_Ds EQU 3note_E EQU 4note_F EQU 5note_Fs EQU 6note_G EQU 7note_Gs EQU 8note_A EQU 9note_As EQU 10note_B EQU 11

Baltic Lite Light OÜ was created at the request of a German friend who was introducing LED flashlights into the European market place. This was 9 ½ years ago. Within 2 years after founding the company it became clear that there is effectively no quality control management in China and we decided to make our own product designs and move our production and assembly of our lighting systems piece by piece into the EU, primarily into Kuressaare and Käina. It is now less expensive to produce our lighting devices in Estonia than it is in China, and we have excellent quality control management.

Like all Corpsman, I started at Navy Boot Camp, 1980. Over the next seven years, I was with the Blue Side. But in 1987, the Navy saw fit to train me "Green". Despite graduating from Field Medical Service School in December of 1987, I didn't "get it" until February 1988. I was assigned to the Northern Training Area, Okinawa. Within two weeks, the Marines signed me up for Rappel Master Training. Never having Rappelled before, I was "unsure". When it became my turn to do the slack-jump off the helo-simulator on the cliff, I panicked. The thought of having to slack jump out of an actual helo the following day pushed me over the edge. I walked off the obstacle, not realizing what the reprecussions would be. For the next three months, I was piraha. A non-being. At a command of less than 40 personnel, isolated in the Okinawa jungle, I was in hell, branded a coward. After a month of being cut off from everyone at NTA, I was begging the senior Corpman for a transfer. He said it was impossible. "What else can I do?" He said, "earn back their respect." For the next two months, I stayed in the bush. If there was a training op, I stayed out there, night and day. I didn't expect to be acknowledged by the NTA Marines. And I wasn't. Then one day, three months after my mistake on the cliff, I was making my way across the Commando Crawl obstacle. Halfway across the Shanghai River, I spoke to the Chief Instructor on the farside of the cliff, "I can't take back what I did that day on the cliff Staff Sgt. But given these past two months, I wish I had done the slack jump. If the rope had snapped, I would have been better off than I am now." As I came off the obstacle, I went past him. He didn't acknowlege me. I didn't expect him too. A week later, my senior Corpman took me aside and said, "The Senior Instructor acknowleded your efforts today, saying, "At least he's out there trying." A couple of nights later, we were doing a night rappel into training smoke. The Rappel Master yelled out, "Navy, on rappel!" (I hadn't heard the term "Doc" in over three months). I came off the line and couldn't see my hand in front of my face. Then the Chief Instructor's voice was next to me, "Now that you've grown a pair, put in another request for enrollment. I'm not saying it will be accepted. It's never been done before." And he was gone. The next morning, he walked into his office and found my request chit with a pen, sitting on his desk. A couple of days later, the next class of Rappel Master started. When it came time for the slack-jump, I was all over the process of tying the knots. The lead instructor for the obstacle spoke to me, "I know you want to be the first one down Doc (my first time hearing that title), but I have to go first, then you." The obstacle was being run by a student, but one of the NTA Marines took over. He grabbed me by the blouse and looked me in the eye. "Just do it. Don't think about it." He hit me on the helmet and I jumped. I got to the ground and every available NTA Instructor was on hand to clap me on the back and tell me, "good job, Doc!" From that moment in my life, I strived never again to bring dishonor upon myself, or upon Corpman, or upon my Marines. When I look back, I consider that the day I was "Baptised in The Corps."
One thought on ""Born Again Hard""
"DOC", well done! Semper Fidelis, Fratres Aeterni (Fratres Aeterni) is seldom spoken, but to those of us who came from blue to green, it means a lot more than just Latin words!

In the summer of 2011, Marvel Movies produced a pair of superhero blockbusters; Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger. C&C Communications created a summer-long promotional campaign which included "eventizing" both Vancouver advance screenings, complete with comic book superheroes in attendance, as well as tapping into and expanding upon the local fan base to create grass roots awareness.
We worked with the Norse Culture Recreation Society, Reik Felag, to raise Thor's profile in the community prior to release. They also provided an abundance of Vikings for the advance screening where a "who's got the biggest hammer" contest was held to a cheering sold out crowd.
Prior to the release of Captain America: The First Avenger, local comic book stores Golden Age Collectables and Elfsar Comics created themed contests where fans built their own Captain America shields and dressed as their favorite superheroes to promote the movie ahead of release. Costumed crusaders were also present to lend atmosphere and create excitement at the advance screening.
We also worked with NovaCurrent Creative Solutions and StayFitAnywhere in developing a superhero workout which fitness expert Josh Neumann created, inspired by Thor. This garnered local media attention and Neumann appeared on SHAW TV to demonstrate the workout with hosts Fiona Forbes and Mike Eckford. Neumann also interviewed Thor star Chris Hemsworth's personal trainer Duffy Gaver.
