Renewal of Baptism
Luther's "Flood Prayer"
Lutheran version (Lutheran service book): Almighty and eternal God, according to Your strict judgment You condemned the unbelieving world through the flood, yet according to Your great mercy You preserved believing Noah and his family, eight souls in all. You drowned heart-hearted Pharaoh and all his host in the Red Sea, yet led Your people Israel through the water on dry ground, prefiguring this washing of Your Holy Baptism. Through the Baptism in the Jordan of Your beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, You sanctified and instituted all waters to be a blessed flood, and a lavish washing away of sin. We pray that You would behold N. according to Your boundless mercy and bless him with true faith by the Holy Spirit that through this saving flood all sin in him which has been inherited from Adam and which he himself has committed since would be drowned and die. Grant that he be kept safe and secure in the holy ark of the Christian Church, being separated from the multitude of unbelievers and serving Your name at all times with a fervent spirit and a joyful hope, so that, with all believers in Your promise, he would be declared worthy of eternal life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Anglican version (Book of Common Prayer):
Almighty and everlasting God, who of thy great mercy didst save Noah and his family in the ark from perishing by water; and also didst safely lead the children of Israel thy people through the Red Sea, figuring thereby thy holy Baptism; and by the Baptism of thy beloved Son, Jesus Christ, in the river Jordan didst sanctify Water to the mystical washing away of sin: We beseech thee, for thine infinite mercies, that thou wilt mercifully look upon this Child, wash him and sanctify him with the Holy Ghost; that he, being delivered from thy wrath, may be received into the ark of Christ's Church; and being stedfast in faith, joyful through hope, and rooted in charity, may so pass through the waves of this troublesome world, that finally he may come to the land of everlasting life, there to reign with thee world without end; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
1993 Book of Common Worship (PC-USA) version:
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
We give you thanks, Eternal God,
for you nourish and sustain all living things
by the gift of water.
In the beginning of time,
your Spirit moved over the watery chaos,
calling forth order and life.
In the time of Noah,
you destroyed evil by the waters of the flood,
giving righteousness a new beginning.
You led Israel out of slavery,
through the waters of the sea,
into the freedom of the promised land.
In the waters of Jordan
Jesus was baptized by John
and anointed with your Spirit.
By the baptism of his own death and resurrection,
Christ set us free from sin and death,
and opened the way to eternal life.
We thank you, O God, for the water of baptism.
In it we are buried with Christ in his death.
From it we are raised to share in his resurrection,
Through it we are reborn by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The minister may touch the water.
Send your Spirit to move over this water
that it may be a fountain of deliverance and rebirth.
Wash away the sin of all who are cleansed by it.
Raise them to new life,
and graft them to the body of Christ.
Pour out your Holy Spirit upon them,
that they may have power to do your will,
and continue forever in the risen life of Christ.
To you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God,
be all praise, honor, and glory,
now and forever. [411]
Directives for a baptismal prayer with similar content:
The minister may give thanks over the water in his or her own words:
a. praising God for God's faithfulness in the covenant;
b. thankfully remembering God's reconciling acts such as:
the cleansing and rebirth in the flood in the time of Noah;
the exodus through the waters of the sea;
Jesus' baptism in the Jordan;
the baptism of Jesus' death and his resurrection.
c. invoking the Holy Spirit
to attend and empower the baptism;
to make the water a water of redemption and rebirth;
to equip the church for faithfulness.
The prayer concludes with an ascription of praise to the triune God.
Book of Common Worship offering prayer (covenant)
Let us pray.
Faithful God,
you placed the rainbow in the skies
as the sign of your covenant with all living things.
May we who are saved through water and the Spirit,
worthily offer to you our sacrifice of thanksgiving.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. [256]

Psalm 29 (Book of Common Worship)
PSALM 29 Tone 3; PH 180; PS 26
1 Ascribe to the LORD, you gods, *
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory that is due the holy name; *
worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. R
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters;
the God of glory thunders; *
the LORD is upon the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is a powerful voice; *
the voice of the LORD is a voice of splendor. R
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedar trees; *
the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon;
6 the LORD makes Lebanon skip like a calf, *
and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox. R
7 The voice of the LORD splits the flames of fire;
the voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;
the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
8 The voice of the LORD makes the oak trees writhe *
and strips the forests bare.
9 And in the temple of the LORD *
all are crying, "Glory!" R
10 The LORD sits enthroned above the flood; *
the LORD sits enthroned as Sovereign forevermore.

the LORD shall give the people the blessing of peace. R
God of mystery and power,
open our eyes to the fire of your love,
and open our ears to the thunder of your justice,
that we may receive your gifts of blessing and peace,
to the glory of your name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
PSALM 42 Tone 8; PH 189, 190; PS 37
1 As the deer longs for the water-brooks, *
so longs my soul for you, O God.
2 My soul is athirst for God, athirst for the living God; *
when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
3 My tears have been my food day and night, *
while all day long they say to me,
"Where now is your God?" R
4 I pour out my soul when I think on these things: *
how I went with the multitude and led them into the house of God,
with the voice of praise and thanksgiving, *
among those who keep holy-day.
5 Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *
and why are you so disquieted within me? R
Put your trust in God; *
for I will yet give thanks to the One
who is the help of my countenance, 6 and my God.
My soul is heavy within me; *
therefore I will remember you from the land of Jordan,
and from the peak of Mizar among the heights of Hermon.
7 One deep calls to another in the noise of your cataracts; *
all your rapids and floods have gone over me.
8 The LORD grants loving-kindness in the daytime; *
in the night season the song of the LORD is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life. R
9 I will say to the God of my strength,
"Why have you forgotten me? *
and why do I go so heavily while the enemy oppresses me?"
10 While my bones are being broken, *
my enemies mock me to my face;
all day long they mock me *
and say to me, "Where now is your God?" R
11 Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *
and why are you so disquieted within me?
Put your trust in God; *
for I will yet give thanks to the One
who is the help of my countenance, and my God. R
Gracious God,
in the night of distress we forget the days of sun and joy.
When we do not know your presence,
preserve us from the deep torrent of despair.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
PSALM 69 Tone 8
1 Save me, O God, *
for the waters have risen up to my neck.
2 I am sinking in deep mire, *
and there is no firm ground for my feet.
I have come into deep waters, *
and the torrent washes over me. R
3 I have grown weary with my crying;
my throat is inflamed; *
my eyes have failed from looking for my God.
Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head;
my lying foes who would destroy me are mighty. *
Must I then give back what I never stole?
5 O God, you know my foolishness, *
and my faults are not hidden from you.
6 Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me,
Lord GOD of hosts; *
let not those who seek you be disgraced because of me,
O God of Israel. R
7 Surely, for your sake have I suffered reproach, *
and shame has covered my face.
8 I have become a stranger to my own kindred, *
an alien to my mother's children.
9 Zeal for your house has eaten me up; *
the scorn of those who scorn you has fallen upon me.
10 I humbled myself with fasting, *
but that was turned to my reproach. R
11 I put on sack-cloth also, *
and became a byword among them.
12 Those who sit at the gate murmur against me, *
and the drunkards make songs about me. R
13 But as for me, this is my prayer to you, *
at the time you have set, O LORD:
"In your great mercy, O God, *
answer me with your unfailing help.
14 Save me from the mire; do not let me sink; *
let me be rescued from those who hate me
and out of the deep waters.
15 Let not the torrent of waters wash over me,
neither let the deep swallow me up; *
do not let the pit shut its mouth upon me. R
16 Answer me, O LORD, for your love is kind; *
in your great compassion, turn to me.
17 Hide not your face from your servant; *
be swift and answer me, for I am in distress.
18 Draw near to me and redeem me; *
because of my enemies deliver me. R
19 You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor; *
my adversaries are all in your sight."
20 Reproach has broken my heart, and it cannot be healed; *
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
for comforters, but I could find no one.
21 They gave me gall to eat, *
and when I was thirsty, they gave me vinegar to drink. R
22 Let the table before them be a trap *
and their sacred feasts a snare.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, *
and give them continual trembling in their inner parts.
24 Pour out your indignation upon them, *
and let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
25 Let their camp be desolate, *
and let there be none to dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute the one whom you have stricken *
and add to the pain of those whom you have pierced.
27 Lay to their charge guilt upon guilt, *
and let them not receive your vindication.
28 Let them be wiped out of the book of the living *
and not be written among the righteous. R
29 As for me, I am afflicted and in pain; *
your help, O God, will lift me up on high.
30 I will praise the name of God in song; *
I will proclaim the greatness of the LORD with thanksgiving.
31 This will please the Lord more than an offering of oxen, *
more than bullocks with horns and hoofs.
32 The afflicted shall see and be glad; *
you who seek God, your heart shall live.
33 For the Lord listens to the needy *
and does not despise those who are in prison. R
34 Let the heavens and the earth give praise, *
the seas and all that moves in them;
35 for God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah; *
they shall live there and have it in possession.
36 The servants of the LORD will inherit it, *
and those who love the name of God will dwell therein. R
Blessed are you, God of hope;
you restore the fallen
and rebuild the broken walls.
Teach us the song of thanksgiving,
for you are the strength of your people;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. [
Call to Worship from Psalm 29:3-4, 10-11
One: The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
Many: the God of glory thunders,
One: the Lord, over mighty waters.
Many: The voice of the Lord is powerful;
One: The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
Many: the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.
ALL: May the Lord give strength to his people!
May the Lord bless his people with peace!
Collect (from Genesis 9)
O Saving God, who made a covenant with Noah and his descendants and with every living creature surviving on the ark; when clouds cover the earth, remember and keep your covenant with all living things, so that the waters will never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
In the name of the Creator, who makes and keeps covenant with the people of God; the Spirit, who sweeps over creative waters; and the Son, who calms the seas, Amen.
Prayers of the People (from Psalm 42:7-8)
All: Deep calls to deep at the thunder of your cataracts;
all your waves and your billows have gone over me.
O God, we are billowed and buffeted by waves of evil and violence. Silent or specific prayers.
All: I pray to you, O God of my life. By day command your steadfast love. By night your song is with me.
Floods of illness and grief threaten to drown us.
Silent or specific prayers.
All: I pray to you, O God of my life. By day command
your steadfast love. By night your song is with me.
Tears of weariness and sadness have been our food.
Silent or specific prayers.
All: I pray to you, O God of my life. By day command
your steadfast love. By night send your song to be with me.
But we hope in you, O God. Dry our tears and quench our thirst.
Silent or specific prayers.
All: I pray to you, O God of my life. By day command
your steadfast love. By night your song is with me.
Send your cleansing waters upon us, soothing and healing, renewing and refreshing. Silent or specific prayers.
All: I pray to you, O God of my life. By day command
your steadfast love. By night your song is with me.
Buoy us with the relief of rain, the flow of a stream, the quiet of a lake, the ebb and flow of the ocean. Silent or specific prayers.
All: I pray to you, O God of my life. By day command
your steadfast love. By night your song is with me.
In the name of the Creator, who placed the rainbow in the heavens; the Spirit, who brought order to the chaos of the deep; and Jesus, the living water, Amen.
Prayer of Confession (Psalm 69:1-3, 29, 17-18 from The Message)
In 2 groups (bold & italic); it would be best if leaders jump in quickly, or if people read the bold and leader (quickly afterward) the italics,
indicating the urgency and overwhelmingness of the need.
God, God, save me! I'm in over my head,
2 Quicksand under me, swamp water over me;
Going down for the third time.
Hoarse from calling for help,
Bleary-eyed from searching the sky for God.
I'm hurt and in pain;
Give me space for healing, and mountain air.
Don't look the other way; your servant can't take it.
I'm in trouble. Answer right now!
18 Come close, God; get me out of here.
Rescue me from this deathtrap.
Maybe play/sing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_a46WJ1viA during quiet time for confession after the litany or after these words of assurance: "Jesus is our bridge over troubled water. He laid himself down to dry our tears and calm our seas. Thanks be to God for the Good News: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven."

This blog post is solely dedicated to my husband and will include the whole page of complaints. Please be warned.
Now to start, let's stress it, Polish is not the easiest language in the world and it can definitely be discouraging when you try to understand all the changes to verbs and nouns. That being said, neither is Cantonese with all characters, spoken language and written language being so different and all those slang words that make it almost impossible for me to follow! But I'm Polish and P. is from Hong Kong, so shouldn't it be a given that we both try to learn each other's mother tongues?
Stage 1: Enthusiasm.
When I just met P., he was happily learning sentences and greetings in Polish, having met a lot of Polish people (girls) and having experienced their hospitality. So when we met, he actually used a few phrases to impress and it worked somehow. So when we started dating, he would still ask sometimes, how to say this and how to say that. He would look at me proudly when he knew names of things arounds us and I was very happy with this enthusiasm. But it didn't last long before we moved onto the…
Stage 2: Busy at work.
When we came to Hong Kong, we were both looking for jobs and so the busy season started. First it was job hunting. Then job interviews. Then new job. Then training. Then being fresh at work and having to OT. Somehow finding those excuses became a habit and while I was still trying to learn Cantonese, P. came to conclusion that there is no need to learn Polish at this moment, as we are living in Hong Kong now.
Stage 3: Lazy effort.
After nagging on him for a long time, P. agreed to sign up for Polish language course on HKU Space. It was supposed to be a couple of months and few meetings with Polish native speakers. I was so excited! And then it got cancelled… That's how P. effort to learn Polish pretty much ended. Currently, I am forcing him to spend those 5 minutes on learning Polish from application on his phone. And that leads me to the question of a…
Stage 4: Future.
How will it look like from now on. Will P. continue to study or give up? He would always say that he would learn sooner or later. Studying Polish is always tomorrow's plan.
And now, you have to know, the whole process of P.'s learning Polish is exactly how my process of learning Cantonese is. I started out super eager to learn, passed some basic courses and had another intermediate course cancelled, then my enthusiasm burnt down and now I'm not progressing at all! Being in Hong Kong makes me think that I will somehow learn it through "assimilation" by hearing people use it around me, but instead I learnt to just not register it at all when people talk in Cantonese!

China To India – It's Time For Apple To 'Make In India': the message will be heard loud and clear in vision.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Atmanirbar Bharat scheme and the idea of getting more global supply chains to India have received a big push recently. Apple's biggest contract manufacturers globally, Foxconn and Wistron have applied for the government of India's production linked incentive scheme or the PLI. The big news is that iPhone is moving from China to Chennai and it will now be manufactured at the Foxconn plant near Chennai. Not just iPhone 11 but Apple's new offering- the iPhone Se, also known as iPhone sc 2 is also going to be manufactured in India.
It brings us back to a report in the wall street journal that highlighted Apple's problem with China and listed a number of factors but in the end, it said that even with all the problems in China, Apple cannot produce iPhone 11 in India because of the lack of skilled labor and lack of Infrastructure that's available. Today, in July, the news has been to be wrong. Apple is indeed coming to India and is indeed making iPhone 11 here and everyone is thrilled about it.
But it's not just iPhone, it's not about one company or one mobile brand coming to India because we need to look at the larger picture here and that is where there are three aspects that are discussable:
- What could have made Apple's incoming in India possible?
- Why Apple would want to take such a step of coming to India?
- Apple's china problem – the critical reason why iPhone 11 production is coming to India.
Why this happening is was because of the production linked incentive scheme that was the launch recently. As the name suggests, the scheme incentivize production in India so the government is looking to give a big boost to local mobile manufacturing, apart from specific electronic components which include assembling, testing, marking, and packaging. The idea was to give companies incentives to produce in India and for the sales of goods that were manufactured in India, over a base year incentives would be provided.
These incentives were critical in bridging the revenue gaps that many companies were facing and that is why now more companies with the incoming of PLI are now looking for manufacturing in India, Apple is just one of them. Apple's contract manufacturers Foxconn and Wistron were two of the companies which applied for the PLI scheme and now we will see the manufacturing of iPhone 11 at Foxconn plant near Chennai. But that's the first aspect what's making it possible, we've seen PLI not just for electronics manufacturing also for pharma sector but that's just one aspect.
India's big infrastructure is the big attraction center for other companies to make a plan here. Now, that's all about the PLI but what does it mean for in the larger picture for the Indian manufacturing sector. First thing, there will be greater domestic value addition to the exports, because these companies, the Foxconn will not just be making phones for the Indian market which they already do, but they would also ship phones around to the markets around the globe especially in Europe and the Middle East.
The second aspect is the sheer size of the Indian market, the sheer growth in the Indian market. Now that the Jio revolution is taking place, we'll have a billion internet users in another three or four hears. Then there is also the question of 5G and Apple has an area of products they are coming up with the first 5G iPhone sooner or later. There are a number of iPhone products like iPhones, iPods, AirPods they had come up with to name a few hardware gadgets.
Now they would want to invest heavily in the Indian market because probably the same market that was not as lucrative for them as a decade ago is now lucrative with the urban growth piercing with the kind of interest people have in Apple products. Even though Apple constitutes a very small share probably some in the neighborhood of three or four percent in the Indian market, it would certainly want to increase it. The companies which have applied for this not just include Foxconn and Wistron, but also include Samsung and Flextronics which are the South Korean giants and they are looking to have in India the manufacturing plants in the future.
The coming if Foxconn and Wistron are beneficial in two ways. One is it will also boost the market for local manufacturers; it will enable the once-famous now-forgotten companies like Carbon, Lava, and Micromax to up their game. Another is it will help in the skill-building of India.
The third and most critical aspect is Apple's china problem. The US and China have pensions of their own going on but it's also impacting companies like Apple, Google, or even Microsoft. Now Apple has five reasons to move out of China. First is the trade war, the trade what if it aggravates with the incoming of some issue, the trade war will only worsen and in that scenario, it makes sense for Apple to diversify the supply chains to diversify whatever manufacturing they have in China and what better place than India, to begin with.
The second reason is the Chinese interference. The Chinese armed twisting of Apple was witnessed recently and we have seen the Hong Kong protests which were quite prevalent before the national security law took place. The Chinese government actually twisted Apple into deleting one of the apps on the app store which somehow assisted Hong Kong protesters. Now Apple wouldn't want to be in a position where it has to balance the idols of the united states- its original home and the business ethics of china because that doesn't make for a good pr.
Coronavirus taught us never to put your supply chain eggs in the same basket. If tomorrow there is any problem in China due to war with the United States or any other factor, Apple would want its supply chain to be safe. When coronavirus was at its peak in China, Apple suffered problems of supply chains and they would want to avoid a situation like that. The Boycott of Chinese products is going in India and we are seeing it in many places as well. People who might have been interested in buying expensive Chinese Smartphones might not be turning to South Korean companies likes Samsung, and this was one opportunity Apple would want to cash in on.
The major factor is India's growing market (I.e.) the billions of internet users coming up. Even if Apple is to tap into five to ten percent of the market, it will have close to 100 million iPhone users. It sounds like a big number right now but if they can manage to do it, it will still be a big number. By moving to India, Apple also sends a message to China that – "look, you cannot arm-twist business companies as you've done to a lot of companies because there are lots of destination, there is a lot of markets that are ready to be explored, that requires investments."
With iPhone 11 coming to India, the manufacturing coming to India through Foxconn, the message will be heard loud and clear in vision. This explosion when it comes to electronics around the globe is just 3℅, so there's a lot of ground we have to cover and the coming of Foxconn and Wistron is the right step in that direction. One would only hope that more and more global hands come to India, even if they don't want to leave China, they should look to diverse from China and where else can they do it but India.

What if we lived in a world where gender was more like hair color — something you could change at will, and that had little bearing on what other people thought of you?
Flash Forward is a critically acclaimed podcast about the future.
In each episode, host Rose Eveleth takes on a possible (or not so possible) future scenario — everything from the existence of artificial wombs, to what would happen if space pirates dragged a second moon to Earth. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn't lie? Could there ever be a black market for fecal transplants? (Complicated, it wouldn't, and yes, respectively, in case you're curious.) By combining audio drama and deep reporting, Flash Forward gives listeners an original and unique window into the future, how likely different scenarios might be, and how to prepare for what might come.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-associated dementia is observed in 20-30% of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The E4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene currently is thought to play a role as a risk factor for the development of HIV dementia. The HIV protein Tat is neurotoxic and binds to the same receptor as apoE, the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP). In this study, we investigated the role apoE plays in Tat toxicity. Synaptosomes from wild-type mice treated with Tat had increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), increased lipid and protein oxidation, and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. Synaptosomes from APOE-knockout mice also had increased ROS, increased protein oxidation, and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, but to a significantly lesser degree. Treatment of synaptosomes with heparinase and Tat increased Tat-induced oxidative stress, consistent with the notion of Tat requiring interaction with neuronal membranes to induce oxidative damage. Human lipidated apoE3 greatly protected neurons from Tat-induced toxicity, whereas human lipidated apoE4 showed no protection. We demonstrated that human apoE3 has antioxidant properties against Tat-induced toxicity. Taken together, the data suggest that murine apoE and human apoE4 act similarly and do not protect the cell from Tat-induced toxicity. This would allow excess Tat to remain outside the cell and interact with synaptosomal membranes, leading to oxidative stress and neurotoxicity, which could contribute to dementia associated with HIV. We show that the antioxidant properties of apoE3 greatly outweigh the competition for clearance in deterring Tat-induced oxidative stress.

There are kids who look a good scare as much as some adults, and it is for that crowd that the new Netflix film, "Nightbooks," is clearly intended. Starring Krysten Ritter as an evil witch and Winslow Fegley and Lidya Jewett as her captives, "Nightbooks" continues in the long tradition of youth oriented horror, even if it does so without breaking much new ground.
Directed by David Yarovesky with a screenplay from Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis, the problem with "Nightbooks" is less that offers up tropes we've seen before and much more that it just isn't terribly interesting. It is a candy-colored horror movie with a great setup, some wonderfully moody moments early on, and then it just sort of feels like it has nowhere to go.
Fegley is Alex, a boy running away from home for reasons we don't know. At the outset of the film, as his parents discuss him, he heads out of his apartment and to the furnace down in the basement. His goal – to throw away the notebooks in which he writes scary stories, his "nightbooks," as he calls them. Instead of making it to the basement, the elevator stops a few floors early and he is lulled by the siren song of a TV playing the "The Lost Boys" and enters a stranger's apartment. Naturally for such a tale, he has been captured by a witch.
All of this is great. Our introduction to Ritter's witch, too, is great, with her platform boots and blue cotton candy-colored hair. Meeting Jewett's Yasmin, who is also trapped in the apartment works just as well.
In short, we are given a great introduction to this world. We are instantly intrigued as Alex attempts to climb out the window to the fire escape only to find himself ejected from closet and back onto the floor of the room. A cat with invisibility, Lenore, and a shape-shifting apartment are further enhancements. This is a freaky place where weird things happen and Alex should be scared.
The witch demands new scary stories from Alex every night and everyone (Alex, Yasmin, and the audience) wants to know why she's doing this and what her end goal might be. Where does the witch go every day while Alex writes his stories and Yasmin is forced to garden (there's a garden inside the apartment) and cook and clean? Does the witch have Time Lord technology (the place is certainly bigger on the inside)?
It is when the movie actually has to proceed with telling us what's going on that "Nightbooks" loses its way. The answers all take too long to come and none of them are particularly interesting.
Yasmin and Alex form a friendship and sort of blunder their way through the movie, making conveniently correct guesses, or mistakes which are quickly overcome. The general sense of evil which the movie exudes early on is nearly gone for the middle portion of the film as Alex works out the rules of his new life. The foreboding remains—this is a child who has been kidnapped after all—but the malevolence sort of fades into wonder at the various things the apartment has to offer.
By the time the movie picks up again as the end approaches, one's interest has largely waned, which is unfortunate. "Nightbooks" is a great movie to look at. Yarovesky has provided a colorful world and as Alex tells his stories, we see them, with an almost "A Monster Calls" sort of flair (in the idea if not the looks of Bayona's film).
Fegley, Jewett, and Ritter all make their characters as absolutely compelling as possible. We want to understand more about why Alex was destroying his books, Yasmin's history, and how this distinctly un-witch-like witch has been doing what she's been doing for so long. That's much more because the cast keeps us involved in the story than because of anything happening in "Nightbooks."
Much like Alex and Yasmin's entrapment in this enchanted apartment, the audience is entrapped in the movie itself. There is constantly a sense that something magical and wondrous is right around the next corner, that we are about to unlock a door that is going to offer us the perfect a-ha moment when everything clicks into place. Yasmin and Alex do indeed get there, the movie itself does not.
Will kids find this more interesting? That is more difficult to determine. My 10-year-old would have bailed in the first few minutes. Nothing after that point would have scared him, but the opening would have sent him running for the hills, and my 15-year-old is definitely above the target age. Of course, all children are different and so your mileage may vary. But, I think it's a safe bet that adults will get a kick out of some of it, largely the look and feel, and find the rest rather too dull.

Sbrana, A., Fulignati, P., Marianelli, P., Boyce, A. and Cecchetti, A. (2009) Exhumation of an active magmatic-hydrothermal system in a resurgent caldera environment: the example of Ischia (Italy). Journal of the Geological Society, 166(6), pp. 1061-1073. (doi: 10.1144/0016-76492009-030)
Full text not currently available from Enlighten.
Ischia is a rare case of a well-exposed caldera system that has experienced rapid recent resurgence, which can be used to dissect the anatomy of an otherwise inaccessible active hydrothermal system developed in a caldera-forming environment. Integrated analyses of melt and fluid inclusions, mineralogy and stable isotopic compositions of pumices, tuffs and syenitic xenoliths of the Ischia volcanic system provide strong physico-chemical constraints on the shallow magmatic reservoir and the hydrothermal system. The hydrothermal system has been exposed by the rapid uplift of the Mt. Epomeo resurgent block. The engine of the hydrothermal system of Ischia can be identified in the shallow magmatic system (at around 2 km depth) that hosts hot (c. 1000 °C) trachytic magma. The hydrothermal system developed principally within thick intracaldera ignimbrite deposits, and extended to a depth of at least 1 km, defining a series of facies characterized by associations of alteration mineral assemblages typical of a seawater-dominated high-temperature geothermal system.

Selenium ( Se), a dietary trace metal essential for human health, is incorporated into selenoproteins as selenocysteine. Selenoprotein P (SePP), the major plasma selenoprotein, has both transport and antioxidant functions. In humans, it exists in plasma as two isoforms of similar to 50 and 60 kDa. This study investigated the effect of polymorphisms in the SEPP-1 gene, Se supplementation, and disease status on the proportions of SePP plasma isoforms. SePP was isolated from plasma from healthy volunteers, before and after a 6-week supplementation with 100 mu g sodium selenite, and from colon cancer patients and controls. SePP isoform distribution was analysed by Western blot. In healthy volunteers, the relative abundance of each isoform depended on two SEPP-1 polymorphisms: rs3877899, predicted to cause an Ala-to-Thr amino acid change at position 234, and rs7579, located in the 3'-untranslated region of SEPP-1 mRNA. The difference between genotypes disappeared after Se supplementation. A genotype-dependent reduction was seen in the proportion of the 60-kDa isoform in patients with colorectal cancer compared with controls. We conclude that functional polymorphisms in the SEPP-1 gene influence the proportion of SePP isoforms in plasma. An elevated proportion of the 60-kDa isoform of SePP may increase selenoprotein synthesis and reduce colorectal cancer risk.

CEO Takashi Niino spills beans on local strategy in interview
BENGALURU — Japanese electronics major NEC is drawing up plans to increase its revenue from India from the current $400 million to $1 billion by 2023. The company plans to focus on its three key business domains in India — public safety, logistics and transportation — to achieve this goal.
"India is now the third-biggest market in Asia-Pacific in terms of revenue. The number of NEC employees in India (6,000) is the biggest in the region," Takashi Niino, CEO, NEC Corporation, said in an earlier interview with a business paper, Hindu_BusinessLine.
The company is also exploring the possibility of offering its information and communications technology (ICT) solutions to the proposed bullet train project between Mumbai and Ahmedabad and expanding into the Southern and Eastern parts of India through its joint venture with Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMICDC), according to the report.
Plans afoot to make India a global hub
The company is focusing on making India the hub to serve global markets such as Africa and Middle East while reiterating that the country has the potential to become the largest market in Asia-Pacific in terms of revenue.
"India is a big potential market," Nino said in an earlier interview with The Economic Times, He added that the company is aggressively increasing its smart cities-related engagements here besides focusing on the carriers business.
Another key executive of the Japanese company said NEC is focusing on safer city programmes through its AI and biometrics-based products. "These products will create new business models in India. And, we will try this India business model for other global market," he said.
A measure of NEC's strategic success is that it has already bagged a contract to provide command and control centre components and other IoT-enabled smart ICT systems for the Hubballi-Dharwad Smart city. The project is expected to go live by mid-2019.
Under the project, the company will implement an integrated command and control center (ICCC) city wide surveillance system and ICT-based solid waste management system. It will also integrate the ICCC with various other smart city elements, including and intelligent transport management system, parking management system, smart poles and a geographic information system. The ICCC will centrally track garbage collection activity through RFID tags placed around 300,000 households' bins.
The NEC's Indian arm, NEC Technologies India, is also in talks with the telecom department (DoT) for developing relevant 5G uses cases the report said.
The company's India MD Takayuni Inaba said NEC "can provide its full range of products to identity-relevant 5G use cases in India". Recently, DoT had approached NEC along with Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung and Cisco for development of 5G applications and running trials.
The company is also in talks with Indian telecom operators for its OSS and BSS solutions, and technologies such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Networks Function Virtualisation (NFV).
NEC Technology inks R&D pact with IIT-Bombay for IoT, AI and big data
NEC Technologies India is deepening India ties by establishing a new lab in Mumbai and having a pact with IIT-Bombay.
The company has entered into a pact with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B) to explore joint research and development in the field of big data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), with an aim to solve a range of social challenge in the country.
Under the pact, the company and the IIT-Mumbai will jointly work on value creation for major government initiatives across smart cities, logistics and transportation domain.
The company said that the joint effort will explore the use of big data analytics to optimise the movement of logistics containers across the country.
Akihiko Iketani, head of NECTI's NEC Laboratories India said that more than 30 graduates have joined the company's central research lab in Japan since 2012.
"Through this joint effort, we aim to address social challenges posed by rapid urbanization and economic development in India, such as improving the efficiency of logistics networks, reducing road congestion and air pollution and achieving smarter and safer cities," he added.

Among these three representations of Shiva in The Art Institute of Chicago, Natraja is the most significant. One's attention is drawn not only to its form but also to the symbolism it contains. This piece of sculpture is from the Chola Dynasty that ruled southern India from 800 to 1279 C.E. It is a brilliant icon and probably one of the best representations of Hindu art.

In Buddhism, Nature is not merely a supply source for our material needs. The Earth is seen as a living entity, and therefore Nature has a dynamic role in our lives. This respect for nature is inherent in Buddhism not only because it is the basis for much of its teachings, but because Buddhism itself is a product of Nature.
Art Education? Why? This question is an important one for a society in which there is much to be done toward the appreciation and teaching of art. Is it really a waste of time for our students? Is it a subject that just tears them away for forty-five to fifty minutes from their core subjects? Or is it a subject that provides our students with some specific skills?

Texas Rangers To Allow 100% Capacity for Opening Day
We're finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
It's been about a year since the whole world shut down. We went through the NBA bubble, no fans in NFL stadiums, and it finally appears the light at the end of the tunnel is finally here.
Seeing fans come back in a limited capacity has been nice. As sports fans, we can all agree that it's not the same for obvious reasons. There's nothing better than hearing the roar of a crowd when someone hits a home run, scores a touchdown, or hits the game-winning shot. It's a part of the game fans crave.
The Rangers will allow fans back at 100% capacity for Opening Day. Fans will still be required to wear a mask, so I guess we're not all the way back to normalcy. Their final two exhibition games before the regular season starts will also allow for full capacity.
The Rangers plan to have socially distant seats, but that will not be ready by Opening Day. Fans who already have Opening Day tickets but who are uncomfortable going to the game may exchange their tickets for a later day when the socially distant seats are ready.
Some people are outraged by this move, rightfully so. COVID is still a big issue, but if you're playing by the rules, you can't blame the Rangers for letting fans back at 100%. They just opened up this stadium last year and couldn't have fans come to the games. The only time their new stadium had fans was for the playoffs in a limited capacity. If I were a Rangers fan, I wouldn't rush to check out the new stadium.
Looks like a huge warehouse. Also hard to look nice when you're right next to Jerry World.
Great news for fans. We're taking baby steps to get our normal lives back.

CLICK HERE to get to Stage Directions at PLSN and keep up with all the latest theater news!
It is a strange and trying time for all of us in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. We certainly understand times are tough for you, as they are for us. We have been proud to bring Stage Directions for free all these many years and we will continue to provide you with complimentary subscriptions during the pandemic. However, we would like to ask in these difficult times that you consider a small donation to help support our efforts here at Stage Directions as we work to keep our industry up to date by providing you with a continuous stream of current and vital information when it is needed, today more than ever, to keep us all in the theater community connected.
The Actors Fund, the national human services organization for everyone in performing arts and entertainment, announced today that Tony Award®-winning set designer and architect David Rockwell will donate his royalties from the new book Drama to The Fund and its vital efforts to support those in the performing arts and entertainment community.
Rockwell said, "The pandemic has proven how critical The Actors Fund is to our community. Over the past 15 months, they have helped provide over 40,000 people with basic needs like rent, food, and medicine. But despite the exciting news that live performance is slowly returning, hundreds of thousands of arts workers are still unemployed and in need of aid. I'm honored that Drama will be able to continue my support of the Fund and those in need."
Joe Benincasa, CEO of The Actors Fund said, "We are thrilled that David has generously donated his royalties to The Fund. While news is encouraging and we are starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel, there are still many people who are in need of emergency financial assistance, health care and insurance counseling, mental health services and more. His gift, and those like it, help us provide the critical support people in our industry desperately need."
The Actors Fund recently released a survey to help determine how to best assist those with long-term needs caused by the Covid pandemic. The survey identified significant loss of income, food insecurity, lost housing, financial hardship, and concerns about the future, among others.
76% of those surveyed say they lost income, 62% report they lost part-time or gig employment, and 49% lost full-time employment in entertainment. Of the respondents who lost full-time or part-time employment in the entertainment industry, 22% do not know when they will return to work, 29% expect to return in less than six months, 34% in six to 12 months, 11% in one year.
In 2020, The Actors Fund served more than 40,000 individuals, a 71% increase from 2019; distributed more than $19 million in direct cash to some 15,000 individuals; and helped people from 126 different occupations in performing arts and entertainment with their services around career, financial wellness, mental health, health insurance, housing and more.
Released on May 26, Drama, is a new book by David Rockwell with Bruce Mau, edited by Sam Lubell. Phaidon is delighted to publish Drama and will make the book available through their website at www.phaidon.com/drama.
Inspired by an early life rooted in the theater, Rockwell has long drawn on aspects of performance to frame and enhance his built work, which ranges from hotels and restaurants, theaters, and museums, to set and exhibition design, to workplaces, playgrounds, and academic buildings. He aims to create a story within any space he designs, evoking a sense of performance, showmanship and above all – Drama.
Phaidon is delighted to publish Drama, a rigorous exploration of Rockwell Group's system of ideas and methods in action, found in examples from both architecture and theater, and both inside and outside the firm. Drama explores the principles at the core of Rockwell's method, devoting chapters to six fundamental concepts: Audience, Ensemble, Worlds, Story, Journey, and Impermanence. Each chapter demonstrates how these principles may be applied not just to theater, but to a wide range of creative disciplines.
Woven through the book are a series of conversations between Rockwell and impressive figures from various creative backgrounds. These talks emphasize the value of cross-disciplinary creativity. Featured interviews include architect Daniel Libeskind, award-winning music producer and composer Quincy Jones, museum director and curator Thelma Golden, playwright and actor Anna Deavere Smith, chef and humanitarian José Andrés, Oscar-winning production designer Adam Stockhausen, president of Jujamcyn Theaters Jordan Roth, and Tony Award-winning designers Peggy Eisenhauer and Natasha Katz.

All Saints Church in Edmonton has signed on to be the first church in the UK to promote Enfield's Breastfeeding Friendly Business.
Reverend (Revd.) Stuart Owen said he was eager to welcome this initiative as a way to promote breastfeeding anywhere mom and baby are welcome:
"When we saw the opportunity come up I was delighted to put this to the church committee as something we can really promote." He told the Enfield Independent. "Although I'm sure many places of worship are, in practice, 'breastfeeding-friendly', I'd imagine that many Mums might well feel more self-conscious about breastfeeding in a church than in their local café."
"Churches should be places with children at their heart, and places where people come to be nourished and nurtured, and joining this scheme is a simple, practical way of affirming that- This is one of the most natural things in the world, and it is baffling that anyone could think otherwise."
Revd. Owen said the policy was very well received:
"When we announced the new scheme, it was met with a round of applause which was fantastic. You never know how people are going to react to something like this."
Congregant and mother of two, Nadine Wills, told the Enfield Independent,"It is great news that the church is publicly promoting this. We don't want breastfeeding to not feel natural anymore and having somewhere like a church encouraging this is good."
Emma Chapman followed up by commenting on the breastfeeding stigma that has long been discussed in church gatherings:
"I felt so conscious breastfeeding while out and about that I used to hide in the car and get my husband to hang jumpers in the window to hide me. I'd have been a lot less worried if I knew somewhere was breastfeeding friendly and I didn't have to worry about disapproving looks."
The breastfeeding policy has been added to the All Saints Church, Edmonton, North London website:
"Breastfeeding Friendly:
In March 2014, All Saints became the first place of worship in the London Borough of Enfield to join the Borough's 'Breastfeeding-Friendly Business' scheme. As members of the scheme, we have made the following commitments: Mums can breastfeed in all areas that are open to the public. A breastfeeding mum will not be asked to move to another area or stop breastfeeding. Mums will never be asked to use the ladies toilets for breastfeeding. All staff members, full and part time, are made aware that we are a member of the scheme. We will display our 'breastfeeding welcome' sticker and membership certificate somewhere obvious on our premises. We agree to be reviewed occasionally by local breastfeeding mums."

This is our web based plugin to Interworx control panel to help improve your experience with our Tomcat hosting solution. You can use this web based tool to stop, start and restart your Tomcat container, clear cache, manage your web apps and view your Tomcat logs.
To access, simply log into your SiteWorx and select Tomcat Control in the left Menu. This will open up Tomcat Control on the right pane.
Tomcat Container Control
You can use the icons to Start, restart or stop Tomcat. When complete it will display its status. For example of Tomcat being offline:
Refresh Status allows you to force a refresh to see if your Tomcat is online or not. Unfortunately a hung Tomcat will still show that its online. Restarting will solve this if you suspect your Tomcat is in a hung state.
Clear Cache clears out your tomcat's work directory that provides caching. It is good to use this if you are replacing an old web application with a new one. This will also restart Tomcat automatically.
Upload Tomcat Application
You can manage your web applications here. You can only upload a war file (web archive). It will not let you upload any other file type because you should be packaging your application as a war before deploying it to the server. Once you upload your app it will show up in the Application List and will also provide you with URL in which you can access it on your browser (That is if your domain is currently pointing to our service).
When you upload an all, allow a few minutes for tomcat to deploy your new application.Use the X icon to delete your war file. After a few minutes Tomcat will also delete the exploded war directory. If not, restarting Tomcat will force it. Use the Pencil icon if you need to edit something in your web application. This will take you to the Filemanager which is web based. However, we recommend that you learn to use an SFTP program like filezilla to use instead using your SSH credentials. Filemanager has been known to be a little buggy.
Tomcat Logs
You can view, download and delete your log file directly from here. This is basically a web based view of your tomcat/catalina.out log. If you are having issues with your tomcat, we can guarantee that you'll find useful information about the problem in this log.

Coachella Valley prep football capsules: Week 7
This week in high school football around the valley is highlighted by two big games in the De Anza League — Rancho Mirage vs. Desert Hot Springs and Shadow Hills vs. Twentynine Palms — both matchups that could potentially decide the playoff picture in four weeks.
But none may be bigger than an eight-man game taking place in Palm Springs that likely will decide a league title.
Here are your keys to each of the game across the valley this Friday:
Rattlers' QB Marques Prior talks DHS, being underdogs
Palm Springs (5-0, 1-0) at Xavier Prep (3-3, 2-0)
The Saints likely enjoyed their week as the only team sitting at 2-0 in the Desert Valley League, but they will have a tough time defending their spot at the top. As the Indians proved last week, they've got plenty of firepower to light up the scoreboard. Meanwhile, the Saints have scored more than 17 points just once this season.
Cathedral City (0-6, 0-2) at La Quinta (1-5, 1-1)
A year ago, the Blackhawks put up 84 points on the Lions, payback for La Quinta sleeping on their DVL opponent in a 2013 loss. That game in 2014 should indicate that the Blackhawks learned their lesson not to overlook the Lions. Still, La Quinta can't give the winless Lions a window of opportunity because coach Richard Lee's team has proven it has some sparks in Cameron Lee and Jordan Wallace that can cause defenses some trouble.
Indio (1-5, 0-2) at Palm Desert (2-3, 1-0)
Unfortunately for Indio, the Aztecs were forced to have a week off from football after their uplifting defeat of La Quinta. There's no doubt coach Pat Blackburn's squad is itching to get back out and prove themselves as a DVL title contender, while the Rajahs struggle to compete with the upper echelon of the league, including a 54-6 loss to La Quinta a week ago.
Desert Mirage (3-3, 0-2) at Yucca Valley (2-4, 0-2)
The Rams desperately need a win. The team that surprised many running out of the gates at 3-0 has dropped three straight and have struggled to boast the two-headed rushing attack it once had. The Trojans provide an opportunity for Desert Mirage to get back on track before they hit the road to face Rancho Mirage.
Desert Hot Springs (5-1, 2-0) at Rancho Mirage (4-2, 1-1)
Both the Golden Eagles and Rattlers enter Friday's matchup with something to prove. Desert Hot Springs, with a 5-1 record, has won each of its first two league games against two teams likely to finish in the bottom of the De Anza League. On the other hand, Rancho Mirage won its biggest game ever a week ago against Big Bear. Which team is going to set itself apart early?
Shadow Hills (2-3, 1-1) at Twentynine Palms (5-0, 1-0)
This game could have major playoff and league title implications for both teams. The Knights and the Wildcats enter as two of just three undefeateds left in the De Anza League, and both teams should be fresh. The key to this game will be the emergence of Seth Morales under center for Shadow Hills. Can the junior transfer from Indio turn the Knights into a true two-dimensional threat?
Joshua Springs (5-0, 0-0) at Desert Chapel (5-0, 1-0)
You can't ask for a more important regular-season game in eight-man football in the CIF Southern Section this season. Joshua Springs, ranked No. 1 in the Division 2 polls and the defending CIF SS champion, will take its undefeated record to Desert Chapel, also undefeated and No. 2 in the polls, to see who will have the inside route at a Victory League title and, more importantly, a possible No. 1 seed in the playoffs come November.
Bloomington Christian (5-1, 1-0) at Desert Christian Academy (3-3, 1-0)
The Conquerors can't afford to have another league loss on their record after falling last week in a lopsided home defeat to Desert Chapel, while Bloomington Christian routed Palm Valley last week in their first Victory League matchup. Desert Christian Academy will need to sure up an undisciplined offense that committed 14 penalties a week ago.

A Los Angeles mom has admitted to killing three of her seven children on Mother's Day with the help of her 16-year-old son, authorities said.
Mom of seven Angela Flores, 38, was booked into the LA County jail Sunday night on three counts of murder for allegedly killing two of her boys and a 12-year-old daughter. Her bail was set at $6 million.
The 16-year-old also was arrested on one count of murder and was being held at the Sylmar Juvenile Hall, CBS News reported, citing police.
Police responded to a report of an assault with a deadly weapon about 7:40 a.m. Sunday at the home on Victory Boulevard and found the three victims, Natalie, 12, Nathan, 8, and Kevin, who was believed to be about 10, according to the outlet.
LAPD said Flores confessed to killing her children with the assistance of the 16-year-old.
The cause of their deaths was not immediately released. Flores' three other children live out of state with their father and were not harmed.
Neighbors told the local CBS affiliate that Flores had been acting erratically Saturday night.
She was reportedly heard screaming, praying and lighting candles at other homes on the street.
"I heard someone screaming, 'My family is abusing me,' and all kinds of nonsense. I couldn't make out what it was." Priscila Canales told CBSLA. "I guess at that time she was in our neighbor's yard … burning a candle and she had the Bible out."
She said that when Flores was removed on a stretcher, "she kept popping up, jumping up saying, 'Where's my Bible? Where's my Bible?'"
Authorities have not said how the children died or disclosed a possible motive for the crime.
"The deaths of these three children are truly horrific and tragic. As a parent and a grandparent, I send my heartfelt condolences to the people who love them," LA County District Attorney George Gascon said in a statement.
"We will continue to work with Los Angeles police detectives and my prosecutors will make a filing decision once they have reviewed all of the evidence," he added, Fox News reported.

Measles Has Returned
Measles has returned. After having been declared eliminated in 2002, measles has returned, right here in northwest Pennsylvania. Certainly, a closer look at measles is timely.
In the ninth century, the Persian physician Rhazes was the first to describe measles. In 1757, the Scottish doctor Francis Home first attempted to make a vaccine.
Because of measles high level of contagion, it spread rapidly in island nations with no intrinsic immunity. An 1848 outbreak in Hawaii killed nearly a third of the population. An 1875 outbreak in Fiji likewise killed nearly a third of the population, in only four months.
In 1916, 12,000 people died of measles, three out of four of them being children under 5-years-old.
By the 1950s, deaths dropped to 400-500 a year, mostly because of antibiotics and public health measures. However, there were still an estimated 48,000 hospitalizations a year from measles-related ear infections, diarrhea, and pneumonia. An estimated 1000 children a year developed
Finally, with school vaccination requirements and federal funding, measles was eliminated in the US in 2002. However, with some Americans desiring not to vaccinate, measles has begun to reappear.
Measles is one of the most contagious diseases. At least 90% of susceptible household contacts will acquire the disease from an infected patient. Patients are typically contagious for over a week, beginning 3-5 days before the rash first appears until 4 days after. However, patients with immunodeficiency may remain contagious for the duration of the disease. Measles is transmitted by respiratory droplets, which remain infectious for 2 hours whether in the air or on surfaces.
Although the measles virus is usually regarded as affecting mostly children, persons of all ages are susceptible. Conditions dramatically increasing susceptibility are malnutrition, pregnancy, vitamin A deficiency, and immunodeficiency. Causes of immunodeficiency are AIDS, leukemia, cancer chemotherapy, and corticosteroid therapy.
The onset of symptoms typically occurs 7-14 days after exposure.
Symptoms typically include a high fever (often 104 degrees Fahrenheit), cough, runny nose, and inflamed sensitive eyes. An itchy rash usually appears a day or two later. The rash characteristically progresses from the head to the trunk to the arms and legs. Patients are usually most ill during the first or second day of the rash. With recovery, the rash disappears in the same order. The rash may not appear in severely immunocompromised patients.
While measles usually resolves unremarkably, when complications occur, they can be quite serious. Complications include pneumonia, reactivation of tuberculosis, blindness, hemorrhage, hepatitis, pancreatitis, and viral infections of the heart.
In pregnant women, measles can cause preterm labor, preterm birth, and spontaneous abortion.
Finally, 1 in every 1000 patients may develop measles encephalitis. Measles encephalitis can be fatal in 10% of victims and cause permanent brain damage in others. Rarely, measles can result in behavioral and intellectual deterioration and seizures beginning an average of 10 years after the measles episode.
Public Health Hazard
Measles is a public health hazard because of the seriousness of the complications and the potential to affect a large number of susceptible people in a short time. For this reason, measles has been a reportable disease in the US since 1912. Additionally, respiratory isolation is recommended for hospitalized measles patients during their period of communicability. A final recommendation is that exposed, susceptible healthcare workers be excused from work from the fifth to the 21st day after being exposed to measles. The US Centers for Disease Control certainly takes measles seriously.
The treatment of measles is largely supportive. Fluids are used for dehydration from
Fortunately, measles is largely preventable. A single dose of measles vaccine administered to a child older than 12 months induces protective immunity in 95% of recipients. However, endemic transmission of measles may return if measles immunity falls to less than 93-95%. A second dose recommended for school-age children renders immunity to 95% of those still susceptible after the first dose, a total protection rate of 99.75%.
Measles, once considered eliminated has returned. It is a public health issue for two reasons. First, the complications of measles can be severe, including blindness, neurological disability, and death. Second, this highly contagious disease can infect great numbers of people within a short time. But, inoculation against measles can confer almost perfect protection. Hopefully, after the current visitation, measles will not return.

Looking for a few good men . . . and a few is what you may find—if you get lucky. The proverbial haystack needle is child's play compared to finding a real man these days.
A real man defined:
1—Confident in his abilities (what he can do now) and his capabilities (what is within his God-given power to accomplish in the future).
2—Courageous enough to conquer—overcome—his fears and forge ahead with determination and grit.
3—Strong physically, because he takes good care of his body—doesn't smoke and has no drinking habits. No couch potato he, strong mentally—has an iron will. Strong emotionally—keeps his head when everyone around him is losing theirs—he's a rock—and strong spiritually—takes his authoritative dominion as a son of God—knows who he is and where he stands with God, and leads his family as its spiritual head.
4—Initiates change and growth—is decisive—would rather make a wrong decision than to be wishy-washy and make none at all.
5—Morally straight: He takes his authority and dominion in the male role God assigned to him as a man without question. He is sensitive enough to try to understand and appreciate the differences between the sexes, but sensible enough not to allow femininity to creep into his psyche.
6—Recognizes and adheres to moral absolutes—unafraid to take a stand for what he believes in—and he knows exactly what that is.
Let's face it: Woman have screwed up royally—and men have allowed it to happen! The liberal looneytunes have gone off the other edge and ruined things for everyone, really. What happened to balance?
It used to be that women had it "made." Oh, sure, they had a lot of "drudge" work and thankless tasks to bear—but now they have to hold down jobs outside the home—in addition to, not in place of, the drudgery. That's progress? I think not!
This is not a who-dun-it! Everyone knows who-dun-it. Women have dun-it! They were born to be women, but they have jumped out of the role that God has assigned to them. Don't know about the rest of the world, but in my opinion, it is these "half" women who have emasculated American men!
God's original plan is for men to be men, women to be women, and for them to marry and become as one entity, because he designed each with attributes that complement the other. Men and women never were designed to fill the roles of both sexes.
And—before I'm inundated with hundreds of emails from feminists—I do not mean to imply that women are intellectually inferior in any way whatsoever. But I do wish to make it very clear that neither are men. Neither sex is more or less inferior or superior. But we are designed differently to fulfill our different God-given roles.
Plus, I realize that many women and some men have been forced into dual roles because of circumstances beyond their control, and I understand this, because I used to be a parent who wore both hats. No, I am talking about those who make the choice to operate on both sides of the fence.
Our natural role as women allows plenty of self expression and fulfillment, and I know this is not only possible, but very doable, because I'm living it!
Before I end my rantings, I also wish to observe that finding a real woman these days is about as hard as finding a real man. Next time maybe we'll go into that . . .
There is a movement to get back to basics in our school system in certain areas, and that is overdue. But let's also get back to basics in the scheme of life by fulfilling only the role that God gave to us and not get all stressed out trying to do it all. Doing so will upgrade the quality of all our lives.
