Have you ever noticed that when you do different kinds of searches in Accordance, you're really wanting different things?
Let's say you do a verse search for Ephesians 2:8. The Search tab dutifully displays that verse, and that verse only. But you don't want just that verse; you want to begin reading at that verse and continue reading the verses that follow it. To see that verse in context, you need to drag the context slider all the way to the right.
Now, leave the context slider set to all and enter the following search: Gen 1:1, 26; 5:1. When you do a search like this for a series of verses, you typically don't want to see those verses in context. Instead, you want to be able to see only those verses so you can compare them. To remove the context, slide the context slider all the way to the left.
Now, let's say you enter a chapter reference, like Exodus 20. That case is very much like the search for a single verse. You're really just wanting to jump to that chapter and likely wanting to see it in context. So once again, we need to drag the context slider all the way to the right.
Suppose that you next decide to do a word search. You click the Words button and enter the word love. In order to scan the results of this search, you don't want to see each verse in context; you just want to see the verses which contain the word "love". Once again, you need to drag the context slider all the way to the left!
From these examples it should be clear that we typically want some search results to be shown in context and others to be shown without it. Accordance makes it easy to change the amount of context, but wouldn't it be nice if it looked at the kind of search you were doing and adjusted the amount of context accordingly?
Hmmmm. It sure would be nice.
Accordance power users know there are lots of little tricks, shortcuts, and niceties which make studying the Bible quick and effective. In this series of posts, I'm offering some simple tips which can save you time and effort. Here's another one:
Can't Go To? Use the Context Slider.
In yesterday's post, I showed how you can hit Tab twice to select the contents of the Go To box so you can enter a verse reference (in a Text) or article (in a Tool) to navigate there quickly. As I explained yesterday, the Go To box is a navigational tool. When you enter a verse or article there, you are not searching for that verse or word, you are simply jumping there. If you've done a search which only shows some of the verses in a Text or some of the articles in a Tool, the Go To box can only take you to the verses or articles which are currently displayed.
For example, let's say you do a search in the HCSB for "faith." The first verse which contains the word "faith" is Deuteronomy 32:51. The next verse displayed is 1 Samuel 23:16. If you then hit Tab twice to select the contents of the Go To box and enter "Joshua," Accordance will take you to 1 Samuel 23:16, because it the closest verse which is currently displayed. Since the book of Joshua is not currently displayed in the window, how can you get there?
The easiest way to make sure that Joshua gets displayed in your window is to drag the context slider on the Search window all the way to the right (the setting for all context). You can also just click on the right edge of the context slider to set the window to show all context. With the context slider set to All, the verses containing the word "faith" will then be displayed in the context of the entire Bible. And with the entire Bible displayed, you can now hit tab twice then enter any verse in the Go To box to jump there.

IN THIS ARTICLELymphedema SymptomsThe swelling of lymphedema may be so slight as to barely be noticed, or the swelling may be severe and disfiguring. Pronounced swelling can be accompanied by fatigue when moving the involved extremity, as well as embarrassment. Over the long-term, the excess fluid and proteins in the tissues cause a chronic inflammation and scarring. The swelling is firm and does not retain an indentation (pit) when the skin is compressed by a finger (nonpitting edema). The skin in the involved area can become scaly or cracked, or may develop an orange-peel appearance (peau d'orange). Tenderness and soreness can accompany the swelling and skin changes. Loss of mobility may also occur. Lymphedema also increases the susceptibility to infection in the affected area. Bacterial infections of the skin and of the subcutaneous tissues (the tissues underlying the skin) are the most common type of infections that occur in affected areas.

The Huffington Post Canada | By Arti Patel Posted: 05/10/2012 11:05 am Updated: 05/10/2012 11:05 am
We've all heard of cheap thrills when buying beauty products, because, let's face it, makeup can get pricey.
In order to figure out which products are actually worth those extra bucks, we talked to professional makeup artist Allana Mirza in Toronto. For Mirza, taking care of your skin is where you should spend the most bucks..
"When it comes to skin care or foundation, the quality matters," she says. She also says if you're worried about not using or disliking an expensive product over time, start by testing a cheaper product.
"Read a product's review online first and feel free to experiment with colours. If you've never tried green before, buy [a cheaper eyeshadow] and, later, move on to a high-end brand that's more pigmented," she says.
Here are 10 beauty items to save and splurge on.

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill felt that his side should have been awarded a penalty during first-half stoppage-time in their 2-1 defeat to West Brom.
The incident, when Adam Johnson's cross struck Gareth McAuley's arm in the area, followed the award of a penalty for West Brom, from which Romelu Lukaku scored the opening goal.
Craig Gardner's arms were in the air for the first incident, however, whereas McAuley's arms were by his side.
"My opinion is that they were both penalty kicks," O'Neill said.
"With West Brom's, even though the ball has hit Craig Gardner close in, we were told at the start of the season that with that sort of incident that if you were putting your hand in the air then that is a penalty.
"At the same time, it was a penalty at the other end.
"It was the same situation and therefore the referee should have given it."
The result saw the gap between Sunderland and the relegation zone narrow to five points.

Its all about snuff.

Rated 4 / 5 stars July 7, 2011
Boy, was that weird
From the title, I thought it would be a story more about learning new things. Well, I guess that's what these frog-fish monsters did in this cartoon. The best thing is the animation. You know, I doubt they had moving cartoon porn back in those days, oh, and thank you for making it look authentic. Actually, that's probably what it would look like back then. It was good to see the frog-fish monster's eyes go on fire.
I couldn't help but thinking he committed rape, so he deserved it. There was a nice amount of detail in the background objects and everything. As something that is quite disturbing, it belongs right here on Newgrounds. I know this is sick, but I don't think it was made by Marc M., but then again, maybe it's an imitation. It even has a stop-motion feel to it.

Sky Bridge, one of the most visited arches in the gorge, clings to a mountainside.
Cary Jobe, Art Meripol
Adventure on the River
This morning I stop to have coffee with Judy and Ken Braden. They give me a tour of the spacious house they mostly built
themselves, entirely from lumber they cut at their own sawmill. "My wife grew up here, and I knew this is where I wanted to
be the first time I saw it," says Ken. He traveled the world as an Army special forces master sergeant. Now they operate Red
River Adventure, a kayak and canoe guide and livery service. He takes paddlers 7 miles upriver. It takes about three hours
to float one of the most scenic sections.
Some stay the night in a comfortable cabin on stilts that Ken and Judy built at the water's edge. We climb the stairs to the deck to admire the view and check the current, which is slow today. "It's a Class I river. Most of it is shallow, but you can get wet," Ken says.
Walk This Way
The earliest inhabitants of the gorge didn't have to build any housing at all. "Some of the rock shelters range from 5 feet
to as long as a football field," explains Johnny Faulkner, archaeologist at Gladie Cultural-Environmental Learning Center.
I spend the rest of the morning at the center beside the byway viewing an excellent orientation film, talking with some of
the specialists who interpret the National Geological Area for visitors, and listening to Johnny tell about the ancients who
dwelled here. "Three thousand years ago, people were here, growing squash and grinding nuts and seeds in hominy holes," he
says. "They had small gardens. They were some of the first farmers in America."
Later in the afternoon I take a meandering walk along a section of the Sheltowee Trace, which crosses the river on a swaying footbridge, and hike to a couple of the most visited landmarks along the scenic byway. The side trail to the top of Chimney Top Rock gives me an amazing, 360-degree view of the gorge. Beneath a warming sun, I follow another mile-long path that leads to one of the most dramatic arches in the gorge. I can hear the wind whistling through Sky Bridge when I reach the largest opening, as big as a theater stage, in the rock that tethers the bridge to a mountainside. I'm sweating from the walk. The cool air blowing through the rock feels as welcome as a blast of air-conditioning.
In this wild place, it's easy to pretend you're Daniel Boone, but like most of the tourists who visit, I slip away at the end of the day to rest the night in comfort at the lodge at nearby Natural Bridge State Resort Park.

C. bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) |
Cordyceps /ˈkɔrdəsɛps/ is a genus of ascomycete fungi (sac fungi) that includes about 400 identified species and many yet to be described. All Cordyceps species are endoparasitoids, parasitic mainly on insects and other arthropods (they are thus entomopathogenic fungi); a few are parasitic on other fungi. Until recently, the best known species of the genus was Cordyceps sinensis,[1] first recorded as yartsa gunbu in Tibet in the 15th century[2] and known as yarsha gumba in Nepalese and "caterpillar fungus" in English. In 2007, nuclear DNA sampling revealed this species to be unrelated to most of the rest of the genus' members; as a result it was renamed Ophiocordyceps sinensis and placed in a new family, the Ophiocordycipitaceae.
The generic name Cordyceps is derived from the Latin words cord, meaning "club", and ceps, meaning "head". Several species of Cordyceps are considered to be medicinal mushrooms in classical Asian pharmacologies, such as that of traditional Chinese[3][unreliable source?] and Tibetan medicines.
When a Cordyceps fungus attacks a host, the mycelium invades and eventually replaces the host tissue, while the elongated fruiting body (ascocarp) may be cylindrical, branched, or of complex shape. The ascocarp bears many small, flask-shaped perithecia containing asci. These, in turn, contain thread-like ascospores, which usually break into fragments and are presumably infective. Some current and former Cordyceps species are able to affect the behaviour of their insect host: Ophiocordyceps unilateralis (formerly Cordyceps unilateralis) causes ants to climb a plant and attach there before they die. This ensures the parasite's environment is at an optimal temperature and humidity, and that maximal distribution of the spores from the fruiting body that sprouts out of the dead insect is achieved.[4] Marks have been found on fossilised leaves that suggest this ability to modify the host's behaviour evolved more than 48 million years ago.[5]
The genus has a worldwide distribution and most of the approximately 400 species[6] have been described from Asia (notably Nepal, China, Japan, Bhutan, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand). Cordyceps species are particularly abundant and diverse in humid temperate and tropical forests.
Some Cordyceps species are sources of biochemicals with interesting biological and pharmacological properties,[7] like cordycepin; the anamorph of Cordyceps subsessilis (Tolypocladium inflatum) was the source of ciclosporin—a drug helpful in human organ transplants, as it suppresses the immune system (immunosuppressive drug).[8]
Potential pharmacology[edit]
The Cordyceps have a long history as medicinal fungi. One of the earliest clear record is a Tibetan medical text authored by Zurkhar Nyamnyi Dorje in the 15th century outlining the tonic propensities of Yartsa gunbu (Cordyceps sinensis renamed now to Ophiocordyceps sinensis), especially as an aphrodisiac.[2] Although there are often-repeated claims of thousands of years of use in traditional Chinese medicine, so far no clear textual source has surfaced.
Although in vitro and animal models provide preliminary support for some of the traditional medicinal uses, there are no clinical studies demonstrating health benefits in humans.[9] Some polysaccharide components and cordycepin, which have some anticancer activity in preliminary in vitro and animal studies,[10] have been isolated from C. sinensis and C. militaris. Some work has been published in which Cordyceps sinensis has been used to protect the bone marrow and digestive systems of mice from whole body irradiation.[11] An experiment noted a chemical compound isolated from Cordyceps sinensis may protect the liver from damage.[12] An experiment with mice noted that Cordyceps sinensis may have an anti-depressant effect.[13] Researchers have noted that a polysaccharide isolated from Cordyceps sinensis has a hypoglycemic effect and may be beneficial for people with insulin resistance.[14][15][16][17][18]
Ma Junren case[edit]
Ma Junren, the coach of a group of female Chinese athletes who broke five world records in distance running in 1993 at the National Games in Beijing, China, told reporters that the runners were taking Cordyceps, and turtle blood at his request.[19] The number of new world records being set at a single track event caused much attention and suspicion of drug use, and the records are still widely regarded as dubious, as the athletes failed to match these performances outside of China at independently drug tested events where illicit substances other than cordyceps would be detected.
According to Daniel Wrinkler, the price of Cordyceps sinensis has risen dramatically on the Tibetan Plateau, 900% between 1998 and 2008, or an annual average of over 20%. However, the value of big-sized caterpillar fungus has increased more dramatically than smaller size Cordyceps, regarded as lower quality.[20]

2004 | 429% (incl. inflation) | 36,000 |
2005 | 10,000–60,000 |
Popular culture[edit]
In the 2010 "Cephalic Carnage" song "Cordyceps Humanis", a mutant strain of Cordyceps is able to infect humans. The song is an apocalyptic vision in which nature takes revenge upon humanity.[21] In the 2011 episode of Fringe titled "Alone in the World", a new strain of Cordyceps gains sentient intelligence and begins to spread throughout the Boston area while infecting the mind of a young boy with a paranormal emotional connection. In the 2013 video game The Last of Us, a mutant strain of Cordyceps is able to infect humans, making them aggressive and able to spread the infection through bites or (when the infection has significantly progressed) by releasing spores.

I've really enjoyed the posts coming up on the "case for vaccination" thread of mothers sharing their thoughts on the lack of a link between anti-vaccination beliefs and other parenting styles which Mothering advocate. Many of us AP parents are proudly (and thoughtfully) vaccinating, and I thought it might be nice to have a thread just to share our experiences, since they're getting a bit buried in the debate on that other thread.
For the anti-vax mothers out there I respectfully request you not post here, but start another thread on why you choose not to vaccinate after doing your research (which I won't post to). You could even do it on the entire board you have to share your experiences (which I also try to keep out of, although I did recently post a primary source for the statistic for pertussis deaths in infants). I am asking nicely that you let this thread stay as a list of personal stories of why some of us choose to vaccinate after doing our research.
As my signature says I'm a keen Mothering Mama. When I lived in the US I subscribed to the magazine and enjoyed most of the articles. I had both my babies naturally with no pain killers under midwife care (although to be fair that's the norm here in the UK where my second was born) even though both were early labours in which I was recommended to use pitocin to move labour along (after 24 hours for my 34 week preemie first child, and after 60 hours for my just full term 37 weeker). I exclusively breast fed both for 6 months, and extended to around 18 months with both of them self weaning at that point. I used cloth diapers/nappies for both babies, while a working mother which was much easier than it sounds. I also did a lot of baby wearing, and co-sleeping.
That all might seem off topic, but one of the reasons I did all these things is that I believe they are supported by good scientific evidence that demonstrates they are best for babies. They make sense - newborns need their mamas, and we are designed to give birth naturally etc. Cloth nappies are demonstrably better for the environment, and also just cute! ;)
For me this same reasoning (the science, not the cuteness) backs my choice to vaccinate. I believe the research is clear that vaccinations work and prevent, sometimes rare, but sometimes very dangerous diseases. Some of the ingredients sound scary, but once you look at the quantities and the environmental exposure our kids cope just fine with it's clear to me that it's negligible. Obviously vaccine reactions happen, and sometimes are nasty - but I believe the statistics that show they are very rare. I also think it's a responsible thing to do to help herd immunity in my community, and try to wipe out serious diseases. I believe we should continue (and that we are as a community with talented scientists continuing) to research possible dangers/rare side effects of vaccine, but I have yet to see a convincing study of any serious common side effect.
Anyway at the risk of going on too much that's my opinion on the matter. I'd love to hear from other AP vaccinating mothers about why they choose to vaccinate, or just hear from you that you're there too. I have had periods of avoiding Mothering (forums, and online articles) over some of what I see as an anti-vaccination stance, so I'd also like Mothering to know we're here, and we're thoughtfully vaccinating. :)

CAIRO, May 11 (Reuters) - Former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak said it was too early to judge President Mohamed Mursi, saying the Islamist politician faced a difficult job, in comments billed as his first interview since his removal from power in 2011.
El-Watan newspaper said its journalist broke through security lines to speak to Mubarak on Saturday before his retrial on charges of complicity in the death of protesters killed in the popular uprising that swept him from office.
'He is a new president who is carrying out weighty missions for the first time, and we shouldn't judge him now,' Mubarak said in the remarks published on Sunday.
El-Watan, which is fiercely critical of Mursi and the Muslim Brotherhood, said its journalist spoke to Mubarak, 85, just before he entered the court.
Mubarak, who was president for almost 30 years, said he was saddened by what he described as the difficult conditions facing the poor and the Egyptian economy, which has been hammered by political instability that has frightened off tourists and investors.
'This is the secret of my sadness: to see the poor in this condition,' said Mubarak, who was toppled by an uprising fuelled by economic hardship.
He said he was worried by the prospect of Egypt concluding an agreement with the International Monetary Fund on a $4.8 billion loan seen as vital to supporting the economy. The loan would bring austerity measures likely to curb subsidy spending.
Economists fault the Mubarak-era subsidy regime for failing to target state support at the most needy. The Mursi administration says it wants to better direct the subsidies.
Mubarak said the poor were at the heart of his decision-making, especially when it came to subsidy spending on staples.
'I fear for the country because of the IMF loan,' he said. 'Its terms are very difficult, and represent a great danger to the Egyptian economy later on. This will then hit the poor citizen, and the low-income bracket,' he said.
With parliamentary elections approaching later this year, the Mursi administration has yet to conclude an IMF deal.
Mubarak also said he was concerned about lax security, apparently referring to increased crime, and a rise in Islamist militancy in the Sinai Peninsula.
He added, 'History will judge and I am still certain that the coming generations will view me fairly.'

Politicians and church officials react to Pope Benedict's resignationThe resignation of Pope Benedict XVI was not expected by politicians, and officials in the Catholic Church. The surprise is drawing reactions from several public figures, and archdiocese. Archbishop Timothy Dolan: "The Holy Father brought the tender heart of a pastor, the incisive mind of a scholar and the confidence of a soul united with His God in all he did. His resignation is but another sign of his great care for the Church. We are sad that he will be resigning but grateful for his eight years of selfless leadership as successor of St. Peter." Archbishop Jerome Listecki: "I have feelings of both great joy and great sadness as I learn of the Holy Father's resignation announcement today, effective February 28, 2013. President Barack Obama: "On behalf of Americans everywhere, Michelle and I wish to extend our appreciation and prayers to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. Michelle and I warmly remember our meeting with the Holy Father in 2009, and I have appreciated our work together over these last four years. The Church plays a critical role in the United States and the world, and I wish the best to those who will soon gather to choose His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI's successor." SNAP Midwest: "Pope Benedict, who announced today he will resign on February 28, will leave his tenure as Pope without having made the one, simple moral and executive decision that would have, in a single stroke of his pen, protected potentially millions of children from harm, brought justice to hundreds of thousands of victims, and finally turned the church on a path towards true recovery and reform: worldwide zero tolerance of child sex abuse by priests. Because he never issued this decree, Benedict leaves office not only with countless children at risk around the world but scores of Cardinals and bishops in leadership positions who are actively covering up child sex abuse." |

ATLANTA -- Gov. Sonny Perdue signed a long-awaited transportation bill on Wednesday that will allow Georgia voters to decide whether to hike the sales tax to pay for roads and infrastructure.
The legislation, three years in the making, divides Georgia into 12 regions and will ask voters during the 2012 presidential primary whether to hike the sales tax by 1 cent to pay for roads, bridges and rail projects in that part of the state. Only those regions that approve the sales tax increase would have the money to spend.
The bill would also give MARTA, metro Atlanta's struggling public transit system, more flexibility to spend its reserve money on new projects.
"I think this approach makes sense because it connects," Perdue said. "It connects our local communities with our economic development centers and coordinates neighbors in developing a plan that will unlock opportunities for their region and their local economy."
The governor said he plans to travel the state to campaign for the bill.
Supporters of the bill said during the legislative session that more money is needed to keep and attract businesses to the state, despite critics who say the bill focuses too heavily on the state capital and punishes its public transit system.
The governor was flanked by Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, House Speaker David Ralston, other legislators and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed as he signed the bill in his office at the state Capitol.
"A lot of years' work is being celebrated here today, a lot of work by a lot of people," Ralston said.
Perdue, Cagle and Ralston all recognized the efforts by Reed -- who served in the House and Senate before becoming mayor -- to help his former colleagues reach a consensus.
After three years of trying to come up with a plan to help end some of the worst gridlock in the nation, legislators broke through a logjam on transportation at the end of this year's session.
Business leaders, who say the state's transportation spending has not kept pace with its explosive growth, had been pushing for action on a transportation plan for several years.
"This long effort has been rewarded with legislation that will allow metro Atlanta to begin to address our lagging transportation infrastructure," said Dave Stockert, chair of the Metro Atlanta Chamber's transportation policy committee, in a statement. "It shows companies interested in moving here that we are working to solve our transportation issues."
Even though the bill passed both houses of the Legislature with wide margins, Democrats lamented that it will be at least four years before Georgia ever sees any additional money and that the legislation failed to do enough to help MARTA.
Spending on transportation in Georgia has lagged well behind the state's explosive population growth. Georgia spends the second lowest per capita in the country on transportation, ahead of only Tennessee. Road projects in Georgia are funded mostly with money from the state's gasoline tax, but those revenues have tumbled amid recession and increased fuel efficiency.

Raf Simons
Raf Simons combined the long and short of minimalist style this season by pairing his signature suit jackets and air-tie shirts with jogger-length bottoms and a parade of bare legs, a schoolboy look completed by dork-chic black socks and lace-ups. Colors also celebrated the spring without breaking rank, comprising bottle greens, navy blues, and mostly darker floral prints. With a combination of bare details and slim, streamlined tailoring, Raf shows that you can survive the hotter months, while maintaining your future-punk Parisian cool, to boot.
