researchers have discovered that five major mental disorders may be linked to the same common inherited genetic variations, according to a study published in the journal nature genetics. previous research from the group reported the first link between the disorders, revealing that people with these disorders were more likely to have variation within the same four chromosomal sites. the researchers analyzed genetic variation in thousands of people with each of the five disorders, and compared the genetic codes with those of people who did not have the conditions. results of the analysis showed the following overlaps in heritability between particular psychiatric disorders as a result of common genetic variation: overall, the researchers found that common genetic variation accounted for between 17-28% of risk of all five disorders.
bruce cuthbert, director of the national institute of mental health, says: "such evidence quantifying shared genetic risk factors among traditional psychiatric diagnoses will help us move toward classification that will be more faithful to nature." the researchers note that although the study results "attach numbers" to molecular evidence showing the importance of heritability linked to common genetic variation that causes these five psychiatric disorders, much of the inherited genetic contribution to these disorders is unexplained, as are non-inherited genetic factors. "it is encouraging that the estimates of genetic contributions to mental disorders trace those from more traditional family and twin studies. the study points to a future of active gene discovery for mental disorders." a new study emphasizes the ways in which transgender and nonbinary youths benefit from access to 'life-saving' gender-affirming hormone therapy. in this feature, we investigate the neuroscience and psychology of hate, and potential ways to prevent it. for medical news today's in conversation podcast for may, we delve into research on the future of mental health, with a focus on psychedelics and… lemonaid health offers online mental health treatment and prescrption delivery.

Original Art Print by Josh Nelson
Inspire your Holiday Decor with this custom artwork of The Ghost of Christmases Yet to Come!
What's the story according to Josh?
I love the Christmas Carol! There are so many gems of knowledge to be gained from story. This is my tribute to the ghost of Christmases yet to come.
From my interpretation, this ghost taught Scrooge to MAKE YOURSELF PROUD. A message that I reflect on again and again.
I once heard from someone I really respect to write my eulogy TODAY. I did it that day and it has really helped me keep front and center in my mind about who I want to be remembered as. What will people think of me when they say my name after I pass?
Over time I started to appreciate this phrase more and more. How powerful is that phrase for you? I hope this poster brings light to your room and uplifting vibes.
See the other ghosts here and here.

The Temperatures In Los Angeles Are Completely All Over The Place Right Now
Fall 2020 in Los Angeles has been an extremely dramatic rollercoaster of temperatures that range from "warm" to "a little cooler" soaring back up to "I'm sorry, is it August? Why is it 97 degrees in October?"
Sure, Los Angeles isn't known for being particularly autumnal, but this year was definitely wacky, with temperatures making some pretty intense jumps in very short amounts of time.
Let's journey into this weather whiplash: October began in the 100s, fell to below 80 only a week later, jumped up to 95 a week after that, went below 70 for a couple of days, then hopped right on back up to the high 80s last week.
Editor's Choice: This Wendy's Drive-Thru Turned Into A "Scare-Thru" For Halloween Weekend in LA (PHOTOS)
days of temperatures exceeding 90 degrees in Los Angeles in October
October was filled with so many heat waves that in mid-October, excessive heat warnings were issued all over Southern California.
From the KTLA Weather Team, here are areas that are experiencing Excessive Heat. https://t.co/OyUYNw0LJ7— KTLA Weather (@KTLA Weather) 1602659283.0
The region has also been dealing with intense winds all month, including just last week, when a Santa Ana wind event created high fire danger and a brush fire erupted in Orange County.
This time of year is known for being the most dangerous in Southern California, due to these strong winds combining with dry conditions, making the region more susceptible to fire danger.
It's expected to jump into the 90s again later this week one last time, before returning to regular temperatures.

Beats took its time getting untethered. The last addition to the Powerbeats line arrived in late 2016, right around the same time as the original AirPods. The product shared Apple's W1 chip, further cementing its place as part of the company, with instant iOS syncing. But the products were once again yolked together with a cable.
A few weeks after the release of the second-generation AirPods, Beats finally unveiled the Powerbeats Pro, the company's first fully wireless earbuds. Comparisons with Apple's latest are inevitable. After all, Apple and Beats are one big happy family now, sharing technologies and working together in some capacity.
In many ways, however, Beats remains its own brand. Where the AirPods are a living testament to Apple's minimalist "just works" approach to hardware, the Pros owe much of their design to the fact that Beats has long targeted athletes with its earbud line. I wouldn't be too surprised to see promotional campaigns with the likes of LeBron James and Serena Williams sporting the Pros in the near future.
That target demo means that the new headphones have maintained the over the ear hooks found in earlier versions of the headphones. That's either a good or bad thing, depending on what you're looking for from a pair of buds. If you want something more minimal, Apple's got a pair it will happily sell you.
In spite of all of the added plastic, however, the Pros are quite comfortable, even with a pair of glasses on. That's owed, in part, to the inclusion of swappable silicone tips. Those are coupled with an ergonomic design that fit nicely in my ear. I've never had an issue getting AirPods to fit, but their rigid plastic design means they just don't fit certain ears. That's going to be much less of an issue here.
The major downside of the form factor, however, is awkward size and shape. They're fine when you're wearing them, but the Pros require a large charging case for storage. Really, really large. Like, you're probably not going to want to attempt to carry these around in your pants pocket large. The placement of the buds inside the case is also a bit awkward and takes some getting used to. It's not like the AirPods, which neatly slip into place.
The good news, however, is that the stated battery life is ridiculously long here, at nine hours on the buds themselves and 24 hours when combined with the charging case. That means you likely won't need to take the case with you when you go out for a run in the morning.
The Powerbeats Pro also sound quite good for a pair of Bluetooth earbuds. The company has spent the last several years working to shake the (deserved) notion that it overcompensates for sound shortcomings with amped up, distorted bass. That's really a relic from its earlier days. Beats has made great strides to offer better sound, even in a smaller form factor.
I sampled a fairly wide range of genres on the Pros, and was pretty impressed with what I heard. The instrument isolation is nice, and it sounds clear even with bass-heavy hip-hop and dance tracks.
Price may end up being a dealbreaker. At $250, they're $50 more expensive than the latest AirPods and $100 more than the Galaxy Buds. That could end up being a tough pill to swallow.
The Powerbeats Pro are due out next month.

At his large assay office iu Miners villc he now has on exhibition over 500 specimens of oie from the va rious ledges and cropping through out that district. They are not little pieces of cue. but big chunks that weigh from 10 to 2.5 pounds, ho that any mining man iu looking over his exhibit can In an hour or two acquaint himself with the character of the greater pari of the mineral iu that one. lie is now engaged iu erecting a building to be 24x43 feet for the future home of this exhibit and the further ad ditions he will in the future make to it. In getting together this splendid display of character ores it has been fraught with much time and labor and required more than the ordinary amount of pluck to pack those big chunks of ore over the rugued hills and up out of the deep ravines, but t'tus far it has been with him a labor of love with out remuneration; the reward will come later on, When this ex hibit is in its new home it will be well worth going miles to inspect it. and iu the years to come thousands of men who will interest themselves in Bohemia will surely have a look nt tin's big display of character rock of that district. John has besides this exhibit a fine garden, wherein he has raised the past season, an nbundaiice of "truck."

The guests Hat down M 6:30 and iof an hour enjoyed the good edible things set before them, which were enhanced ns an aid to digestion by flowing bumpers of rich Zimfandel wine. .A souvenir of the occasion in the form ofa handsome gold-mounted fountain pen was given to the host of the evening by his guests in a neat little' presentation speech by Mr. Arthur Young. The evening wns pleasantly passed mid music, song and merry jest, and the con sensus of the wishes of those ' present was that the coming years will deal as lightly with Mr. Mad sen as iu the past and that liis re curring birthdays will be as full of pleasure as the one just past. Bought Anothur 'Claim. Louis Hartley was in town this week from Bohemia.

This map will be on exhibition nt the company's headquarters and the general public is extended a carte blanch to vliw it. Tint Mummy Spkctaclh. On Saturday last was exhibited here a mummified Indian giantess, said to havu been taken from a civcru iu the Big Horn mountains of Wyoming in the year 1897, and discovered by a couple of hunters who, were seeking refuge from a fierce blizzard at the time He this as it may whether natural or artificial the mummies have gone the rounds, have been looked at by thousands of people, and by many believed true to life. It is pos sible to make artificially these crea tures of a prehistoric age. This may ormay not beof nature's origin, but if not it is certainly a mighty good imitation. At all events it answers the purpose and is an object lesson iu mummification that for the small price of 10 cents much can be learned by the young, nnd some of the older heads might get a pointer tr t.wi.

The Deputy Chief of Fire Force, Kamanda Bongay has said the unwholesome surroundings in the city and other issues have placed Freetown on a time bomb.
Speaking to Awoko yesterday at the international disaster risk reduction day held at the British council he said the city has lots of highly explosive materials.
"Freetown is a place where ammunition and petroleum depots are everywhere, and this is a city that is heavily congested, and a city that has lots of shanty buildings. This is also a city because of electrical problems, lots of people go for petrol generators, candles and using alternative sources of electricity" he said.
Mr Bongay said those alternative sources of energy were potential fire threats to the city coupled with the building structures which were constructed with highly inflammable materials.
He spoke about the petrol tankers that ply the congested streets posing as high risk to traders and residents alike..
"if you look at the modern petrol stations they have bars fixed with the stations and we know what happens at the bar where people relax and smoke lots of cigarettes. Introducing naked light at the station makes way for disaster" he stressed.
Mr Koroma revealed that between 2004-2007, some two billion leones worth of property were lost through fire disaster in the country.

The Memphis Grizzlies could go in a lot of different directions this offseason. This is impressive, considering the fact that Memphis currently has no draft picks and also is pretty limited in terms of what they can do in free agency. But the Grizzlies, as has been outlined here, there, and everywhere, have several free agent decisions to make and perhaps the resources to try to make some minor moves to improve the team overall, even in a minimal way.
In that process, though, there would be some things that, if the Grizzlies do them, well, it wouldn't be the best thing for the franchise. In that spirit, here are three key points that the Grizzlies should prioritize not doing over the next month as the 2017 NBA Draft and free agency kick in to high gear.
DON'T: Sign any Grizzlies free agent not named JaMychal to a multiyear guaranteed deal.
We can prognosticate all day long about what Vince Carter, Tony Allen, Zach Randolph, and JaMychal Green will fetch on the open market. JaMychal's impending free agency is obviously a bit different than the others since he is a Restricted Free Agent, meaning that Memphis will most likely have an opportunity to match any offer made to Green. But the veteran unrestricted free agents, especially Allen and Randolph, will hear out the Grizzlies and their offers.
Here's the thing though - Allen, Randolph, and Carter all have their best days behind them. The eye test and statistical analysis all show that while each player still holds value and all three will surely be signed by someone if not the Grizzlies, they probably will continue to decline in terms of on-court contribution. And signing players to long-term guaranteed deals that are over the age of 35 is not worth the squeeze.
Does that mean you don't offer TA a three-year contract? No. The key word is guaranteed. As an example, a three-year, $18 million contract may be attractive to Allen, but Memphis would be wise to ensure that the second season is only partially guaranteed ($3 million) and the third season is a team option. A two-year, $16 million contract offer to Zach Randolph with a full team option for 2018-2019 would be a potential offer for the Grizzlies as well. Assuming Vince Carter is leaving (which he may not be - keep reading), those two returning would make sense since Memphis has their Bird rights and can sign them to a number over the cap.
But long-term? The Grizzlies need all the flexibility they can get. That shouldn't be restrained by older role players, regardless of past success. Especially considering that Memphis may need to decide on a three-year, $45 million match to JaMychal from Brooklyn or Minnesota (shiver).
DON'T: Sit out the 2017 NBA Draft
As of this posting, the Memphis Grizzlies do not hold a draft pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. That kind of sucks. It isn't the deepest draft ever, but it is an opportunity to acquire talent that can be a part of your team long-term for a relatively low amount of money. Memphis needs to be kicking any and all tires on possibilities to get in to the mix this coming Thursday night.
What can they do? They have numerous second round picks in the next two drafts - in 2018 they currently have their own second rounder, plus the second round selections of the Miami Heat and the Charlotte Hornets. The 2019 selections are their own, plus those of the Boston Celtics (if it transfers) and the Brooklyn Nets. They also have a crowded front court - if JaMychal Green and Zach Randolph both return to Memphis (a likely scenario), their roles with the Grizzlies rotation are pretty clearly defined. That, plus franchise cornerstone Marc Gasol, plus the promising Deyonta Davis, plus the possibility of more stretch four minutes for Chandler Parsons, means that players like Brandan Wright and Jarell Martin should be on the market.
Does a combination of Wright, the 2018 second rounder from Miami, and the 2019 Nets second rounder get you in to the first round? Could Martin and that potential Boston pick get you a second rounder this year, or two overall second round picks get you a pick from, say, Philadelphia at #36 or #39 overall? Or would a bigger move (Marc Gasol and two future second round picks for #5 and #10 from Sacramento) be possible?
Gasol is most likely going nowhere, but the other options should be on the table. Rade Zagorac is likely joining the Grizzlies this coming season, but more young talent for David Fizdale to develop is not a bad thing.
DON'T: Not use the Mid-Level Exception
This takes serious cap space management, and probably saying goodbye to at least Wright, if not Martin as well. The salary cap is projected to be at $101 million for the 2017-2018 season and the luxury tax at $121 million, as Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reported this past April. Woj went on to report that the 2018-2019 projection is about $102 million salary cap and $124 million luxury tax.
It is hard to ever see Robert Pera and the Grizzlies ownership group actually going in to the luxury tax that deeply. So $121 million for this coming season and $124 million for the following one are where we are working toward. Memphis currently has roughly $94.4 million in guaranteed contracts already on their books for next season. For argument's sake, let's say the following (completely speculative and probably unlikely) scenario occurs:
- Wayne Selden's team option is picked up (roughly $1.3 million)
- The Grizzlies trade Jarell Martin (roughly $1.4 million salary in 2017-2018) and the 2018 Charlotte 2nd round pick to Philadelphia for #36 overall in this draft, select Josh Hart from Villanova, and pay him $850,000 this coming season.
- The Grizzlies trade Brandan Wright ($5.95 million salary in 2017-2018) and the 2019 Nets second rounder for their 2019 first rounder back from Boston.
- Rade Zagorac comes over and is signed to a three-year deal with a first-year salary of $850,000
- Memphis matches a three-year, $36 million contract offer for JaMychal Green that escalates each year - $11 million this year, $12 million the next, and $13 million the next.
- Memphis signs Zach Randolph to a two-year, $12.5 million contract, $6.25 million guaranteed both years, and Vince Carter to a one-year deal of $3 million with a full team option for 2018-2019. Yes, I broke my own rule with Z-Bo, but that's potentially a serious hometown discount for a sixth man type of player. Meanwhile, someone like Carter, who can still play and simply wants a key role on a (hopefully) contending team, for a little more than the veteran minimum is also a good deal for Memphis.
- Memphis lets Tony Allen leave in free agency. Allen signs with the Cavaliers as a Warriors stopper for extended years that Memphis wasn't willing to give.
In this situation, if Allen's cap hold is renounced and he signs with his new team right at the start of free agency (not entirely likely, but play along) that would give the Grizzlies the full projected mid-level exception of $8.4 million to use and be right at the luxury tax with about $900,000 to spare and still have a roster spot open.
Who could be had for that amount on a multi-year deal? C.J. Miles, a forward who can shoot the three and defend well enough to be a net positive on the floor, could be an option. Tyreke Evans may also be a target - there's the obvious Memphis connection, plus his ability to create for himself offensively and play multiple wing positions (and his awful injury history) make him perhaps obtainable for that $8.4 million number. The Grizzlies are the "if healthy" all-stars anyway - why not take a risk on a great talent since you're already invested in Chandler Parsons' knees, Mike Conley's overall size/own injury history, and Marc Gasol's repaired foot?
There are other options - P.J. Tucker, Shaun Livingston - that should be on the Grizzlies' meeting list. But these are simply examples of players who may be available, depending on the market.
But if you do sign, say, Tyreke Evans, that would give you Conley, Evans, Parsons, Green, and Gasol as a starting unit, plus Andrew Harrison, Vince Carter, James Ennis, Troy Daniels, Zach Randolph, Deyonta Davis, Rade Zagorac, Wade Baldwin IV, and Josh Hart. That's a healthy mix of young talent and veteran presence, plus in this (again, probably unlikely) scenario, a first round pick back in 2019.
You can see this as viable or call it all crazy. The main point remains - see how much Memphis had to do to get that full MLE? That series of moves, or any sequence, is going to be difficult to pull off. Of course they could use parts of it and not the whole thing, but that will limit the pool of players you can obtain. They could also let Zach walk, or Vince, or keep Tony. The fact is, the Grizzlies are limited in what they can do and will have to say goodbye to some folks in order to really bring in a talent that can make Memphis better than they were last year.
Which is why the Grizzlies say Chandler's health is so key. Hopefully the front office is working the phones and all possible angles for these types of deals. Not drafting this year, or not bringing in a good player with the MLE, would be a mistake. Regardless, a healthy Parsons may wind up being the best Memphis can do in terms of an offseason acquisition.

net worth clay aiken
Since winning the American Idol competition, Clay Aiken has continued to work to increase his net worth. The singer has branched out into acting and politics as well. On Jan. 10 he announced his candidacy for Congress. It is unclear how much he will earn as a candidate. Nevertheless, he is a well-known television personality who is worth $6 million. Let's take a closer look at his net worth.
In 2005, Clay Aiken bought a four-bedroom condominium in Charlotte for $67,500. However, he grew dissatisfied with this residence and decided to list it for $2.5 million. He hoped to make a slight profit from this sale. His home in the San Fernando Valley was more than seven thousand square feet and is located on a full acre. When he sold it, he made a $2.7 million profit.
After achieving success as an actress, Clay Aiken used her voice to fight bullying in schools and was named to the New York Times bestseller list in November 2004. His first full-length album, Learning to Sing: A Memoir of a Lifetime, was released in September of 2008. Aiken was born on August 8, 1978. His mother, James Foster, is a sister of TV producer David Foster. In September 2008, Aiken revealed that he is gay in an interview with People magazine. In 2002, Aiken auditioned for American Idol but wasn't selected.
Aiken also appeared on a variety of televised programs, including a Christmas special on ABC in 2004. In 2008, he performed as Sir Robin in the Broadway musical Spamalot. In 2010, he hosted a PBS special, Tried & True Live!, which was filmed in Los Angeles. In all, Clay Aiken has a net worth of $6 million. Aiken is an accomplished actress and singer.
Despite the high level of publicity, he is an incredibly private person. Despite his fame, he pays $90,000 a year for child support. Moreover, Aiken has a significant online presence. In fact, his Instagram account has over 126 followers, which shows that he's not the only celebrity with a large online presence. If you're curious about his net worth, check out his biography!
Aiken has spent a great deal of time enhancing his charitable work. Earlier, he created the Bubel/Aiken Foundation, which encourages implementation of programs for children with disabilities. In 2004, he became an ambassador for UNICEF and toured extensively in this capacity. In 2006, he was appointed to the Presidential Committee for People With Intellectual Disabilities. While on tour, Aiken continued to pursue his career as a voice of reason, and is currently considered one of the wealthiest celebrities in the world.
The actress has a strong following in her native Raleigh. Aiken has worked as a child care provider and has raised funds for several non-profit organizations. She has also acted as a fundraiser for the Human Rights Campaign. Aiken has also contributed to charities by speaking out against discrimination against gay people. He also serves as a spokesperson for GLSEN on her official website. In addition, Aiken is active in his community, helping raise awareness about LGBT issues.

Calm Legs is a supplement tablet created to lessen the symptoms of restless legs. The product was created by Native Origins and it contains multiple natural ingredients. This restless legs product scores high in our rating due to the high volume of customer success stories.
MyoMed P.R.O. is a greaseless cream used to reduce the symptoms of restless legs. The product contains natural ingredients and comes with an airless pump dispenser. Your order will also come with a free eBook. This topical approach to combatting restless legs works for some but not others, landing the product in the "just above average" category.
As you may already know, Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), is an irritating and frustrating condition. It causes you to have the irresistible urge to move your legs. This typically occurs in the evening, while sitting or lying down. It also often affects a person's ability to sleep. In the end, RLS can affect you at any time of day and is incredibly infuriating, regardless of the time and circumstances.
While it can start at any age, it tends to get worse with age. People with restless legs tend to complain about sensations within their limbs, not on their skin. These feelings include crawling, creeping, pulling, throbbing, aching, itching and electric sensations. These sensations give sufferers the constant desire to move.
What causes restless legs? One theory researchers have is that it is caused by an imbalance of dopamine in the brain. Another theory is that it is hereditary. This is especially assumed when the condition starts before the age of 40. Pregnancy is another cause for restless legs due to hormonal changes. Most women will only have symptoms during their first trimester; however, if they stick around, they almost always disappear after delivery.
There are products on the market that can help relieve the uncomfortable symptoms you may experience due to Restless Leg Syndrome. Some of these are prescription medications, while others can be purchased over-the-counter. Prescription medications are usually given in extreme cases and may cause additional symptoms that reduce the feeling of relief. On the other hand, many people try OTC products, which are less expensive, easier to get, and can come with money back guarantees.
As you consider which restless legs product you should try, here are a few key features to consider about each product's efficacy and ingredients.
To help you in finding the best restless legs product for your needs, Top Consumer Reviews has evaluated and ranked a compilation of options to shop from today. We are confident that this information will make it easy and affordable to find a product that works for you.

It is a lovely place
To be
By Thee
It is a lovely place
It is a lovely place
To be
By Thee
I pray to love deeper
I pray Love will grow wider
I pray to know real love for all
In truth, this is my true desire
This I know
What can you hold on to
when you are shaking inside?
What can you hold on to
when your heart is trembling?
The only thing you long for
is to be received when
you fall…
Earlier I have written posts called Love First and Love Now. Now I have to write a post called Love Last. This is probably for some the most controversial of the three posts, since it communicates an inclusive view on the afterlife and eternity. So if you want to hold on to your traditional view of Heaven and Hell, or if you would like not to be provoked, read no further. And for the rest, keep your minds and hearts open.
We have heard that the Christian message is the Gospel, also called the Good News. Now in my later years after going through valleys of darkness, the thinking, reading, listening and rethinking has brought me out into an open landscape of, in my view, truly good news.
Karl Forehand, a friend of mine and an author of several books, and among them the book Apparent Faith, asks the question, can God's love be any less than the parent's love for his child? The point is that a parent would do anything for his/her child and never give them up or leave them for good. Why would God leave people for good and let them go to a place called hell? A parent would never do that. Why our Creator?
Let's get things out of the way, I do not believe in hell as a place in the afterlife anymore. I believe there are enough hellish experiences and suffering in people's lives and in our world. Going to hell for an eternity (eternity!!) makes no sense. And heaven for just a few chosen faithful people, is that truly heaven Off course both Karl and I are only trying to find answers that make sense, and off course we do not have "God's mind" and understanding. So we can't claim we get it right 100 percent. But some would not even want to work with the question, and some would rather hide behind the biblical phrase, "God works in mysterious ways".
I already mentioned Apparent Faith by Karl Forehand. Another good read is Love Wins by Rob Bell. I think Rob has the same message in Love Wins, that I try to communicate in this post, Love Last. I would also say, for the Gospel to be truly good news, it must be good news for all, it must be all inclusive. Love must win in the end. I do think Richard Rohr's book The Universal Christ also speaks about this.
I say, we are created by love first, to live our lives in love now, and early (for some too early) or late we will find rest in eternal love at last! People and the Bible talk about the good road to be a small road. But what if this small road actually is very wide, if we only had a change of heart and understanding? I will not go into details here in this small text, but also remind us all, of the words of Jesus, "In my Father's house there are many rooms".
Off course not everyone chooses the path of love in this earthly life. There are many reasons and explanations for that. And there's only one Judge. Yet, can you imagine being judged by the Lover of Souls?
If there's any truth to going to a spiritual reality in the afterlife and for an eternity, I do think people also somehow choses their direction after death. And for those now living a life in pain, of evil and destruction, why would they not choose or search for love and restoration in the spiritual realm? Would a God of Love really close the door for all eternity? Sorry, if this makes you think, I am lost and far gone. I feel safe that I am not, and that's enough for me.
I believe we are eternal souls and the bodies are our huts. Our deepest selves are also the Spirit of Love and of God. This Spirit will, at least when it freely can, and when it is released from our decaying bodies, travel back to the Loving Source it came from.
Love first, Love now, Love last, I do believe this is for all of us. Yes, it is all inclusive! Yes, the Bible even talks about a new heaven and a new earth, a great recreation. So salvation is not only for you and me, but for all, even for the whole Earth and the whole of creation. The Colossians talks about everything (every single thing!) coming together in Christ! This for me, is the good news. This gives me hope. This casts out fear of living and fear of death. It is true freedom! I truly believe in a loving Creator or even Creational Energy loving us all. This love is as the Bible talks about, strong enough for a earthly life, but also even stronger than death.
Last I would add that coming to these thoughts and conclusions in such a way that I can see this as the Truth I believe in, has not been an easy road. Still, I do believe it is a road from fear to love. It also is a road into freedom and the joy of living now and with a real hope for the future. It's like the the prodigal son coming to his senses and knowing he had always belonged to this his Loving Father. It is the greatest news for all! All you truly need is love, and love is first, and it is now and yes, it even is the last there is and will forever be!
"Everybody hurts" is a well-known and popular song by REM. I guess one reason is that it resonates with most people one way or the other. We all hurt, we all have been hurt, and we also hurt other people. It is a circle where many spend much of their time and life.
We all need to experience love. And the less attention and love we were shown in our early days, the more we crave it when we're older. No wonder the Christian focus on the Father heart of God is very popular both in preaching and reading. Most of us have been wounded by our parents slightly or deeply. And I guess very often the father is most lacking in love and acceptance. This partly because the feminine and nurturing side of men has been less embraced and therefore less developed. It's not only the women who have suffered in a patriarchal society.
But okey, we are all wounded, so what can we do about it? I believe we need more love, acceptance and healing. If we open our eyes and realise how wound driven we are in our actions, it is possible to experience a deeper satisfaction, not only through the love of a Higher Father, but through the experience of self love. Self love has a bad reputation, and sadly, because it quiet different from self worship.
It is therefore paramount that our suffering and craving, leads us on a road through our blindness. The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence, especially when what we're looking for is the love we lacked in our childhood.
Before we can bring the deepest and purest love and healing to others we often need to love and heal ourselves. This process consists of developing an acceptance and love for ourselves, and at the same time a realization that we are deeply loved by the Love that gave us life.
This healing I am pointing too, has no easy route. But a good way to start is to take a deep look at your wounds. Not to fall into the wounds and drown, but sense your wounds enough for you to be able to both grieve, forgive and accept them. This involves forgiving others, but very often also, since you may be quite grown up when you truly see this, it also includes forgiving yourself. I guess many we will be in this process for much of their lives, if they want to grow in love. Still, at first, it's important to start, to embrace more and more of the pain, so you may grow through so much of it that you become free enough to be of more help to others, instead of clinging to people and things for love and acceptance. You may even become a much needed wounded healer as Henri Nouwen wisely wrote about, and the love grown out of wounds eventually becomes a gift to this often hurting world.
We need to come to our senses and to ourselves, as the prodigal son also had to do, in order to direct his life towards the great Source of Love again. And like this lost son, we often get lost in craving love from things and people, that cannot give us what we now must give ourselves, and what we also must receive from our Mother, Father God. A Divine presence that waits for and even chases us from around and from the deepest parts of our souls.
Ask yourself today, what drives your actions the most today? Is it the lack of contentment and a need for lost love, or have you walked the valley of grief and forgiveness, and come out of it, with a new or renewed selflove? At least, stop blaming and pulling yourself down. What you have not received, you cannot pass on. Those wise words I leave you with, and at last an important reminder: You are loved ❤
Open my heart wide, so I may see
Open my heart wide, so I may let go
Open my heart wide, so I may know
You, my Lover and Love
Help me bow down deeply, so I may drink
Help me stretch far, so I may pluck
Help me sit down quietly, so I may dine
Last, help me walk gently, so I may bless
With You, my Lover and Love
Now and forever
At the beach yesterday I witnessed the image above of stones and overflowing waters. Tumultuous waves were overcoming solid ground. Rohr (Falling Upwards, great book!) speaks and talks about a lever to stand. The lever is needed at different times in our lives. Some times outer pressure or inner turmoil are overwhelming. It feels like drowning.
I've been through times like the mentioned above on several occasions. Last not so long ago. I lost my zest for life and had no drive or motivation. It felt like I was overcome and lost, as in my last poem here, "I gave up and gave in".
If you have read the whole poem though you have realized I have yet to draw my last breath, and gracefully things ended on a good note. I am meant to live and there's still meaning and renewed meaning to be found in life, mine included. But for a long time it felt like the image above. Out of control, with no escape in going through the pain and darkness. Part of the reason for my troubles were great grief in my life, since I have slowly been losing my mother to early dementia. There has been other things too, among those an earnest search for truth and the deep desire for love and union with Spirit.
So if you're experiencing grief and outer and/or more inner turmoil, know that I have been there. Hell is not a place in a God-willed afterlife. God's love is for all, it upholds us all, whether we recognize it or not. Hell is also at times circumstances here on Earth, whether it is outer war and suffering, or inner turmoil and loneliness deep within. Fortunately, at the same time, heaven, God, God's kingdom are also here on Earth, all around us and deep within each and everyone. This includes you, no exceptions. I also do believe with Rob Bell, that Love Wins (book recommended!). If that makes me an universialist, I am guilty of the "heresy".
The Spirit of Christ lives within us and our bodies groan for freedom and union for eternity. Happily, this is something to be embraced and experienced in the now, if only in glimpses. Can you sense your inner Spirit calling you? Are you overwhelmed by the life you have lived so far? Maybe what we need when there is no solid ground to be found, is a surrender to the great vast Ocean? At least a surrender to the River within that Jesus spoke of to the Samaritan woman.
Now I dream of new projects and a future for contemplation in my country and across the globe. I connect with what Rahner supposedly has said, that the future Christian is a mystic. I truly believe that. I want to be among them. I do think more and more people will see and find the path of contemplation. Nothing else than contemplating the mystery of the Divine and beholding and experiencing its beauty can satisfy our hunger. Would you like to join me on this often messy but also blessed journey?
Blessings on your day and your further travel – never forget you truly are the beloved of the Great Lover! Even more, when darkness leaves you blinded.
Forgotten my way
Pressured from all sides
No escape this time
Had to die again
Die from old self
Shed my skin
Gave up
Gave in
Lost and rotting
Slowly woke
Lost Light found
Eyes opened
I Am
For we are His creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them (Eph. 2:10)
In earlier posts I have written quite a bit about surrender and I have meant to convey that a surrender to silence is also a surrender to God. Since God is something and someone beyond your thoughts and feelings, and someone spiritually living deep within you, a surrender to silence is a way to tune into and "listen" to the life of God in you.
It may sound so easy, but as many of you know, being silent is for most people very difficult. Not only is it difficult to actually sit down, stop doing anything and stop talking to become just quiet. It is also difficult to really experience true silence since our minds chatter non stop.
So, in order to tune into God's life and the walk he has planned for us, we need to get serious about surrender and serious about silence. My opinion is that through an experience of non-action and silence outside and also within we may be able to connect to our deeper ground of being, which actually is God's Spirit within us (or you might say, God's image in us).
Through my novice experience surrender to complete silence is not so much about stopping your thoughts, something very few people are able to do for any significant time, but it is really more about how you deal with or live with your chattering mind. It is about truly accepting, but not dwelling on, the thoughts.
I actually believe Christians can learn something from mindfulness practitioners here, when it comes to how to tackle the monkey mind. One example is to acknowledge thoughts as they appear, but then visualize them as leaves floating away upon a creek, one bye one, then disappearing. I believe that by doing this until it almost becomes a routine, thoughts become less powerful and as a result the mind also becomes quieter.
This choice of silence is not a war on thoughts, but actually an acceptance of thoughts, and at the same time it is a choosing to give less power to them. If you want more information with a Christian perspective on how to become at peace with your thoughts and praying contemplatively you may read books by Thomas Keating (ex. The Way of Christian Contemplation).
Later I will write about a book I am now only mentioning. This is a book, that can be read no matter your spiritual or religious beliefs, that truly changed my life by altering the way I related to my mind. The book is called "The Unthethered Soul" and written by Michael A. Singer. More about this in a later post.
For now the message is: By choosing and practicing silence we may be able to connect deeper. By connecting deeper and getting in touch with the often very quiet or soft-speaking Spirit in our innermost being we will able to live from the inside out. We will be walking into the world coming from a different place so to speak, we become more and more able to walk a walk already divinely prepared. Our lives become a response to God's life in us!

An Abington Police officer is being investigated in connection with a troubling report released Friday by the Stoughton Police Department that accuses three former members of that department of having inappropriate relationships with a 21-year-old woman who took her own life last year.
"The Abington Police Department is aware of allegations of misconduct concerning one of its officers," Chief David Del Papa said in a release Friday afternoon. "This Department does not take allegations of officer misconduct lightly. These are serious allegations and will be investigated thoroughly. An Internal Affairs investigation into this matter is currently underway."
Del Papa declined to name the officer, who has been placed on paid administrative leave.
"It's just going to result in innuendo and speculation and result in damaging that person's reputation before an investigation can take place," he said in a followup interview.
An internal investigation by the Stoughton Police Department detemined that former officers Matthew Farwell, William Farwell, and Robert Devine had inappropriate relationships with Sandra Birchmore, whom they met through the department's youth explorers program. The report says Matthew Farwell had an inappropriate relationship with Birchmore starting when Birchmore was 15 and he was 27, but did not go into specifics of that relationship.
Birchmore was pregnant when she took her own life in Febryary 2021. She reportedly was telling friends that Matthew Farwell was the father.
Stoughton's investigation found the Farwell brothers engaged in "conduct unbecoming of an officer" and failed in their "attention and devotion to duty" by texting and meeting up Birchmore while on duty, and lying to State Police investigators about their relationships following her death. The report says that Devine was untruthful about having contact or a relationship with Birchmore when questioned by investigators. Devine previously was demoted from deputy chief for misleading investigators looking into allegations he ordered an officer to investigate a woman he had an affair with. All three resigned from the police department before the results of the investigation were released.
The Stoughton report is heavily redacted in areas making it difficult to know the exact nature of the Abington officer's relationship with the young woman. Stoughton Police Chief Donna McNamara only said during a press conference Friday that it was "inappropriate."
The officer was interviewed by investigators twice, including once at Abington Town Hall this past February. The first interview ended with the officer requesting to bring in legal counsel, according to the report. The report leaves a name unredacted that coincides with the last name of an Abington police officer, but Del Papa declined to confirm if that was the officer involved.
Del Papa said the Stoughton Deputy Chief told him in December 2021 the officer was a material witness in the ongoing investigation, but couldn't get into specifics. Del Papa asked whether the officer should be placed on administrative leave and was told no. The Stoughton Deputy Chief also told Del Papa at that time he would let him know if the officer's status in the investigation changed. Del Papa said he was notified that the officer was facing allegation this week as the department finalized the report.
School Superintendent Peter Schafer said the department is "fully cooperating with all authorities" and referred further questions to Del Papa. Selectmen Chairman Alex Bezanson also deferred to the police chief.
McNamara said she is recommending that the three Stoughton officers be decertified so they can never serve as police officers again. The report has also been forwarded to the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office.

Factors That Affect Real-Time Performance
Many components of your computer affect its real-time performance:
 Computer processor speed and type: The faster your computer processor is, the more
real-time effects Final Cut Pro can perform. The type of processor can also make a
difference. For example, a G5 processor is more powerful than a G4 processor, and a
Core 2 Duo processor is more powerful than a Core Duo processor.
 Multiple processors: Computers with more than one processor have significant
real-time performance advantages over single-processor computers.
 Graphics card speed and memory: Many video filters in Final Cut Pro use your computer's
graphics card to process effects, leaving the computer processor free to perform other
tasks. A faster graphics card with more RAM allows more real-time playback.
 Level 2 and Level 3 processor cache: The sizes of a computer processor's level 2 and 3
caches affect its real-time playback capabilities. The larger these caches are, the more
real-time performance is available.
 RAM: The more RAM you have available in your computer, the more potential
real-time performance your computer has.
Part IV
Real Time and Rendering
 Memory bus speed: Computers with a faster memory bus allow better real-time
performance because data can be sent more quickly between RAM and the
computer processor.
 Hard disk speed: The faster your hard disk can read data, the more video data
Final Cut Pro can access in real time. With some video formats, such as
uncompressed video, hard disks may not be able to keep up with the video data rate,
making real-time playback impossible. Multiclips and multiple video layers require
many video streams to play back simultaneously. A faster hard disk allows more
streams to play back simultaneously in real time.
 Codec: Not all codecs are supported by RT Extreme, but the most commonly used
ones are. Some codecs require more processing power and RAM to play back than
others. For example, the long-GOP MPEG-2 compression used by HDV requires more
RAM and processing power to decompress than I-frame-only codecs such as DV. For
more information, see "
Supported Real-Time Playback Codecs
" on page 638.
 External video monitoring: Enabling output via FireWire or other video interfaces
requires additional processing power and may limit the number of effects you can
play back in real time. For more information, see Volume I, Chapter 14, "External
Video Monitoring."

'Deplorable': Community Zoom meeting shut down because of a racist man's 'lewd' acts
On February 28, the Smithville Community Coalition — a local group in Cornelius, North Carolina's predominantly African-American Smithville area — held a Zoom meeting that was attended by about 30 people, including some seniors. But the event, according to the Charlotte Observer, was shut down because of a racist man's "lewd" and disruptive acts.
The Observer's Joe Marusak reports that the "naked man defecated and repeated the N-word three times before a Coalition member shut the meeting down.
The Coalition member was Justin Miller, who organized the meeting.
Willie Jones, a Smithville Community Coalition board member, told the Observer, "It was a deplorable incident."
According to Marusak, "Jones and others couldn't offer much of a description of the man, only that he is White and sounded like he's in his late 20s or his 30s."
Marusak notes that the Smithville Community Coalition, which was founded in 1968, is working on an ambitious, $12-million plan to provide housing affordable to teachers, first responders and other workers, as well as seniors, Jones said."
Cornelius is a suburb of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Sean of the South Zooms in to Speak to WMS Teachers
January 6, 2021
Sean Dietrich, perhaps more commonly known as Sean of the South, joined WMS teachers after lunch on Tuesday, January 5th, delivering a live, virtual message via Zoom straight from his travel trailer turned office. A celebrated columnist, blogger, and social media phenomenon, Dietrich, who makes his home right here in Walton County, authentically writes about southern life and its people and places. In his moving talk to WMS, Sean shared how two specific teachers (one after his father's suicide and another during his first college class) connected with him, recognizing his talent and encouraging him to write. Sean reminded WMS teachers of the universal truth that all the good ones know--that relationships and connectedness matter, perhaps now more than ever. After speaking then reading one of his stories "Teacher", Sean then opened the floor for teachers to ask questions. Walton Middle School thanks Sean Dietrich and his wonderful wife Jamie for their graciousness--the time they took to make this event possible as we enter the new year and new semester. No doubt, Sean's inspiration will empower teachers to go forth and do what they do best--"change the world."

Dune Lakes Elementary School announces 2020-2021 Teacher of the Year and Education Support Person of the Year
Dune Lakes Elementary School is proud to name Rebecca King, PE Instructor, as our 2020-2021 Teacher of the Year. In her 33rd year, Ms. King has taught and coached in a career that spans high school and elementary physical education. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education and Master of Education degree in sports science.
For 20 years Coach King spent her summers coaching women's basketball summer camps for renowned University of Tennessee Women's Basketball Coach, Pat Summitt.
After coaching high school for over two decades, she moved closer to home and in 2012 began teaching at Bay Elementary School. While comparing high school and college coaching to elementary coaching is like comparing apples to oranges, elementary education quickly found a place dear to her heart.
"Seeing the excitement and willingness to learn a new game and to be involved in the class is something that brings me happiness," shares Ms. King. "I know we are working on their motor skills like catching, throwing and coordination; however, their innocence allows them to just have fun and find their competitive spirt."
To Dune Lakes Elementary, Coach King is a key team member always offering support where needed and taking on additional responsibilities when possible. Anyone who has the opportunity to be in one of her classes can see the students' appreciation for Coach King and respect and patience for team play.
Dune Lakes is excited to honor Coach King as our MVP!
In addition, Dune Lakes Elementary School is proud to name Ms. Tanya Durham as our 2020-2021 ESP of the Year. Ms. Durham joined our Dune Lakes family when the school opened in 2019. Constantly showing her talents in creativity, Ms. Durham consistently shows up to support staff and administration well beyond her custodial scope. If there is a job needing to be done, Ms. Durham is quick to take care of things.
Ms. Durham is an appreciated addition to the Dune Lakes family, and we are thrilled to name her as our ESP of the Year!
Please join us in congratulating Ms. King and Ms. Durham!

The home school instructor may employ a easy storybook to begin. Thereafter, a series of worksheets for dialogue would possibly follow. In the end, the lesson may finish with an assessment undertaking, to check how nicely the pupil has understood the paintings covered.

The actual price of lesson plans is that one can check at a glance if all the vital resources are in area for the day or unit or week beforehand. Lesson plans need to make provision for a variety of sports. Take your childs interest span into consideration whilst making plans training. As an example you can start with a instructor tell method wherein you hold factors short and repetitive, then pose questions, then pass to a pen and paper pastime. Thereafter you may flow to a computer based assignment and end with a worksheet which have to check whether you kid has grasped the idea included.

Every lesson must in truth have an advent with introductory sports which includes questions posed verbally; accompanied by using a body of the lesson with further activities and physical games. One must also always have a clear conclusion in mind, to summarize and tie up the new ideas covered for the scholar.
