Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste

Aid destroyed
The main damage to UN property came on January 15 when Israeli shells hit a UN compound, setting fire to a warehouse and destroying badly-needed food and medical aid.
UN officials say they have evidence that white phosphorous, a smokescreen agent that can cause severe burns, was used in the attack that left three people injured.
Israel said Hamas fighters had used the compound to launch attacks on its forces but later apologised for the incident.
A UN inquiry last year put the cost of damage to seven UN buildings in Gaza during the 22-day assault at $11.2m, almost all of it caused by Israeli forces.
Loss adjusters hired by the UN subsequently reduced that by $750,000, Nesirky said.
Nesirky said the UN's compensation claims related both to the property damage and to minor injuries suffered by 11 employees.
Israel's onslaught on Gaza killed more than 1,400 Palestinians and left much of the territory in ruins. A total of 13 Israelis were killed during the conflict.

Rove Vs. the Tea Party
During the 2012 election cycle, Tea Partiers were told by their supposed betters that their ignorance of everyday politics meant that they should take a back seat to the Republican Party establishment. Brandishing the so-called Buckley Rule with quasi-religious fervor — the notion that Republicans should run the most conservative candidate who can win — the establishment GOP proclaimed that the: only: presidential candidate who could win was Republican Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts. They suggested that four-term former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson was a shoe-in for the Senate. They explained that the Tea Party was responsible for failed Senate candidates like Todd Akin (false) and Richard Mourdock (true).
They knew best.
The only trouble was, they didn't.
As it turns out, the Buckley Rule relies on prophecy. No good political strategy relies on Carnac-style crystal ball reading; a better rule would have been to nominate conservatives who are articulate (Pat Toomey, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz), regardless of whether the wise men who loved John McCain and Mitt Romney think conservative positions make candidates unelectable.
But despite their 2012 losses, the establishment has decided that the problem in 2012 wasn't their own incompetence — it was the dastardly Tea Party, which in its zealotry for conservatism, has ignored the need for victory.
And so the Karl Rove establishment leaked to the far-left New York Times that the "biggest donors in the Republican Party" were working with the leaders of Rove's American Crossroads super PAC to "recruit seasoned candidates and protect Senate incumbents from challenges by far-right conservatives and Tea Party enthusiasts who Republican leaders worry could complicate the party's effort to win control of the Senate."
Why didn't Rove and company tell the Times that they were interested in training conservative candidates in media fluency? Why didn't they approach the Tea Party instead, and offer their get-out-the-vote services and electoral strategies?
Because, at root, there is a clash at the heart of today's Republican Party. The Tea Party wants to change tactics. The establishment wants to discard principle.
The question is whether this will be the party of Ronald Reagan or the party of George W. Bush. The establishment opposed Ronald Reagan in 1980; they backed George H.W. Bush, convinced that Reagan was too extreme, not quick enough on his feet, no match for the more intellectual Jimmy Carter. Thank God they lost.
Today, though, the establishment is ascendant. While George W. Bush did a great many good things, including slashing taxes and protecting Americans in the aftermath of 9/11, the second term of George W. Bush looked like a replay of Herbert Hoover's government-growing presidency, replete with concessions on spending and socialistic stimulus programs. The "compassionate conservatism," which largely identified government spending with compassion, dovetailed into the rise of Barack Obama.
This divide doesn't have to continue. The establishment GOP could seek to rectify the breach with the Tea Party by embracing their enthusiasm for basic conservative principle and offering their expertise — whatever expertise they have — in helping them achieve victory. Instead, they're focusing on the next dollar and the next dinner party.

DoD and Social Media
By UltimaRatioReg
There has been some interesting discussion on the possibility that DoD will institute a ban on social media such as Twitter and Facebook.
It was asserted by some that DoD didn't really understand social media, which may be true in part, and there were some very good arguments for and against having such programs available to our service members. Others saw the announcement as a grave threat to the rights of every American to screw off at work. (Okay, that was me.)
The DoD, for their part, mentioned serious security concerns in their late-July message. This was interpreted in a variety of ways, including possible OPSEC considerations.
However, the concern about social media is shared by all of government and much of private industry. And here, in large part, is why.
From an online article at Financial Times (www.ft.com):
Law enforcement warnings, recent reports from private security experts and lawsuits are focusing attention on the issue. Some professionals, citing the ongoing boom in virus infections through such social networks as Facebook and Twitter, fear the trends could combine in 2010.
Targets have fallen victim to "spear phishing" and other tricks. In spear phishing, a misleading e-mail, instant message or social networking communication is aimed at one company or even a single person within that company, frequently a top executive. The message can be tailored convincingly with details of interest to that individual.
As with many generic phishing attacks that go to millions of users, the point is often to get the recipient to click on a link that installs software for surreptitiously logging keystrokes, so that passwords and account numbers can be recorded and transmitted over the internet to the hacker.
Aiming at small groups means that security programs that look for copies of previously reported attacks are less likely to recognize the software.
My experience with such issues is that these cyber security concerns have been expressed behind closed doors for some time, and an affordable and implementable technical solution is unfeasible for now. And the threat is serious enough that an out-and-out ban is being considered. For such analysis to be stated publicly means that several verified occurrences of successful cyberhacking via these means have taken place already, and cyber security experts are at a loss as to how to stop them.
So, regardless of where one's opinion falls on the usefulness of social media in DoD, security concerns indeed appear to be at the center of considerations to ban Twitter and/or Facebook.

Is Adamek one of the best wins on Vitali's resume?
I asked this when Kevin Johnson lost a few weeks ago and most posters seemed to think he wasn't one of Vit's best wins.
So now it's Adamek's turn. (He didn't "lose" officially but we all saw what happened in the fight.)

I would say his wins over Peter, Kirk Johnson & Sanders were better. I think Hide is as good and maybe Solis if he bounces back well.

Easily his best, Sanders was already done as a fighter even after his win over Wlad, it's just that Wlad was so chinny Sanders had an easy time. Before his fight with Vitali he'd even retired to become a pro golfer, he was also like 38 years old.
Peter was never good, he had power but that was it. He got schooled badly after the Wlad fight by Toney, went on to get dropped what, 4 times? Against McCline, I think Maskaev even rocked him in their next fight, then went on to fight Vitali.
Adamek was an accomplished cruiser and had a dominant win over Arreola.

Hell no! Vitali was expected to win, and Adamek was given no chance to win.

That got a good chuckle.
I know Adamek was better than him. I'd take Adamek over Peter too though, again, tough fight because it could end on a dime.
You can make a case for Sanders on a different standard though: he matched up with Vitali a little better. Still, he matched up well for a couple rounds and then done.

I haven't seen the Cunningham fight, but after his fight with Chambers and now this, I think it is fair to say Adamek is done. This shouldn't be shocking. Many fighters are done by age 36. Although Adamek was 34 or 35 when he fought Vitali, I still think it is 1 of Vitali's biggest wins because VK was 40 at the time.

Berlin System/Sump | Nano System/Sump | Prefilter/Overflow | Protein Skimmer | Refugium/LifeReefugium | Wet/Dry Trickle Filter
2015..... 31 years of the longest-in-production reef filter components and systems, longer than any other company. Dedicated to the hobbyist, not the mass-merchandisers.
Go Lifereef, or go obsolete. Many products these days are like software, constant updates, or worse, discontinued and no more parts or support. Not Lifereef. Many Lifereef products are close to 25 years "old" yet continue to be better functioning than the competition. Why do they keep putting sequential numbers or letters at the end of their product numbers, because they keep trying to "improve" their products. Lifereef products have proven themselves time and time again and why they remain unchanged. The competition will always change no matter how good, or poor, their products are.
I don't tweet, I don't Twitter, I don't Facebook, I don't Google, I don't whatever other electronic communication there might be, and I don't have a cell phone. If you want to get ahold of me there are two methods noted above, phone and email. I also do not have sales (I do have a garage sale page for scratch-and-dent stuff) and I don't run specials, but I do offer competitors products for less than retail.
Filter products designed to work together as a system, not a flimsy "acrylic box with socks full of stuff".
| No one has been building Berlin Systems, Sumps,
Wet/Drys and Protein Skimmers longer than Jeff Turcheck at
31 years of fantastic Lifereef products, superior design, EXPERIENCE, and great customer service!
No other company has been making Wet/Dry Filters, Berlin Systems, reliable Protein Skimmers, Fail-Proof Prefilter Overflows, and numerous other reef filtration products as long as Lifereef.
Growing up in a home (and garage) filled with an abundance of machine tools, woodworking tools, milling machines and metal lathes and parents that allowed Jeff to discover all these wonderful "playthings" and later years in the aerospace industry as both a toolmaker and a draftsman has allowed Jeff to be an expert designer/fabricator and an expert craftsman in many materials. Add to this the desire for things to be as simple as possible without sacrificing efficiency many of the Lifereef products are over 20 years "old" yet are still as up-to-date as anything currently on the market, and many hobbyists say are better. You could say "ahead of their time" way back then yet better than "state of the art" today.
Since 1984 Jeff has been supplying the discriminating hobbyist with fantastic products and continues to put quality before quantity, truthfulness before shady advertising, tested designs and not marketing fads or gimmicks, and real expectations instead of unrealistic and misleading claims or promises.
Customer service is always an enjoyable part of the Lifereef experience both before and long after the sale.
Calls and emails are usually returned the same day.
Lifereef, for 31 years providing hobbyists with excellence!
Sad, but true....... and unfortunately, might be you......
Most of the orders I receive are from those that have tried putting together a sump from company A, a protein skimmer from company B, a pump as recommended by someone on a bulletin board, numerous trips to the hardware store to get more parts, fittings, hose/pipe, more fittings, more pipe, more hose, more time on the bulletin boards, etc. Once up and somewhat running they then spend weeks and months working out more problems such as turbulence, micro-bubbles, noise, too small of a sump, overflowing sumps, overflowing aquariums, refugium problems, then back to the bulletin boards for more "advice" from those wanting to help but cause even more problems.
Then when that frustrated hobbyist does further research and finds Lifereef, usually after numerous recommendations and testimonials from the bulletin boards, they give Lifereef a look, like what they see, enjoy what I have to say, and love what has been built for them.
From the day your boxes arrive with your very own Lifereef System (or any Lifereef product) you will love unpacking the system, admiring it, installing it (all parts are included), filling it with water for a "dry run" test just to satisfy your curiosity and wonder and amazement that something really works as advertised, adding salt, filling the LifeReefugium with sand and algae, maybe a fish or two, adjusting the protein skimmer, and sitting back in wonder that it all really works! No time wasted on bulletin board "advice", no more trips to the hardware store for odd parts, just pure satisfaction!
And if you happen to be a first-time Lifereef customer: Congratulations! You have just saved yourself $$$ and headaches and have joined an exclusive Lifereef community of happy and satisfied customers!
With Lifereef you will NEVER regret your purchase!
Companies (the "larger" mass-production high-exposure places) must always make change, that's what keeps them going. Though some changes are for the better and bring new products to the hobby more often than not those changes are just done to drum up new business. Old ads don't sell so the product is changed, no more parts, no more support (if it existed in the first place) and now you have an OBSOLETE product. Many changes don't really do much and just fix the problems they already had, and now you have an obsolete product...... And on it goes......
NOT AT LIFEREEF. Being a small company that relies on individual sales direct to you (not mass-merchandisers) a Lifereef product does not have to be changed every year. In fact, many of the Lifereef products are going on (and some are over) 20 years "old", WITHOUT CHANGE! When a product works it can be made forever. This cannot be done in industry, ever. Does this mean a Lifereef product is not state-of-the-art. On the contrary, Lifereef products were state-of-the-art over 20 years ago and continue to be better designed, better crafted and perform better than todays products. And you will get a real person on the phone when you call (or your call will be returned shortly if busy) that cares about your concerns, your questions, your suggestions, but never are you sent to a website to trouble-shoot a product like all the rest. If they have that many complaints or questions about their products that they have to send you to a website then what does that say about the company, customer "service", and the poor product they sold you.
Proven designs. Proven performance. No obsolescence.
Lifereef Museum
I thought is might be interesting to post some of the early Lifereef products as hobbyists email me various things they find at garage sales or other means.
CIRCA 1985 and 1990 Lifereef Wet/Dry Trickle Filters
Introduced to the U.S. hobbyist in 1983 by Georg Smit, this "new" wet/dry filter has revolutionized the marine hobby to what it is today. The filter shown below is the Lifereef version which was an improvement over Georg Smits all-glass made filters. This was the norm from 1983 until 1994 when the Berlin Method (Berlin Systems) were accepted, and still used to this day as the basis for all reef aquariums.
Back then wet/dry filters used slide-out drawers filled with shallow layers of coral gravel (left photo) as well as coral gravel in the sump. Then came all the plastic bio-medias (right photo) and the sumps were left empty except for mechanical and chemical filter chambers. A denitrifier was built into the left side of the sump to reduce nitrates. Venturi protein skimmers had not been "invented" yet so external airstone skimmers were the norm and of course I built these to add to these wet/drys.Wet/Dry Trickle Filter

NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO ORDER your Lifereef Filter System or custom sump. Summertime is the slowest time of the year, but come August/September the hobby picks up a lot and my lead time for sumps can exceed six or seven months. Currently I'm taking sump build reservations for November. Sump builds include custom sumps and complete systems.
Availalibility of all other Lifereef products is listed in the next box below.......
Calcium Reactors are going to be built in August and begin shipping in September. Many have already pre-ordered because they know how reliable and reputable the Lifereef Calcium Reactor are. Some are replacing their current calcium reactor due to poor performance, lots of maintenance, discontinued, and lack of support. The Lifereef Calcium Reactor has remained unchanged for close to 20 years and is not going to be discontinued, it works too well!

Protein Skimmer Complaint...
Hi Jeff. Skimmer is still awful. I never need to adjust it and the stupid thing doesn't clog. The skimmate smells like death and the sludge is so thick I almost need a scraper. My biggest disappointment is how long it takes to clean the cup and neck. I wasted 5 minutes doing that after a week. Then I had so much time left I cleaned up the kitchen. I never had to do that before when I ran my MRC. It took ages to clean. This skimmer is boring lol. Mike
Additional reef-keeping equipmnet if you do not have Lifereef: Knee-pads and an LED headlamp and a third hand if you can find one.
DOES YOUR NEEDLE-WHEEL BUBBLE-PLATE, CONE PROTEIN SKIMMER PRODUCE A GUNK LIKE THIS OR A WHIMPY LIQUID LIKE THE ONE ON THE RIGHT? There is a difference in design, there is s difference in performance, there is a difference in how your aquarium will look, and there is a difference in the amount of maintenance required, and the Lifereef Protein Skimmers have had it for over 24 years.
NASTY!!! NASTY!!! And NO SMELLY ODORS!
A fantastic customer review HEREIf your skimmer isn't producing the kind of skimmate as shown above (and below), it must be a needle-wheel. and you need a better skimmer. Look at that dry foam, look at that dark skimmate, all because of a fantastic skimmer design! No weird cone, no bubble plate that needs cleaning, no needle-wheel problems, just raw venturi power and a time-proven design! PURE SKIMMING POWER!!!!!!
More CONTACT TIME, better EFFICIENCY, LOW maintenance, and EASY to set up and adjust, only ONE adjustment needed! Quiet too!
Won't be obsolete in a year as many other skimmers will.
As one satisfied customer put it:
"Awesome" It runs so good it almost boring LOL!"
You don't need a cone, you don't need a bubble-plate, you don't need a needle-wheel, and you certainly don't need the high maintenance routine. What you need is a simple and proven design and Lifereef has had it for 23 years. Love your hobby, not the maintenance.
Are you ready to get out of the hobby?
You just need a more efficient skimmer.

Chicago White Sox' Conor Gillaspie An Unlikely Offensive Force
What is the most important spot in a lineup? Most people either respond with the leadoff hitter or the cleanup hitter. The most overlooked spot in a batting order is the third place hitter. While the cleanup hitter allows the third place hitter a chance to see a pitcher's best, it is not a guarantee that they will execute.
For the past few years, the Chicago White Sox have struggled to find a hitter who could hit third and contribute on a consistent basis. Adam Dunn would be penciled in there and his strikeouts would kill momentum that hitters in front of him would start. Paul Konerko would not see many pitches to hit because opponents would rather take their chance with the ever-struggling Dunn.
In 2014 however, the Sox have found a guy who could hit in that spot and has produced consistently so far this season.
Conor Gillaspie was moved from the bottom third to the top at the beginning of the year and has flourished. After Adam Eaton and Marcus Semien get on and cause havoc on the basepaths, Gillaspie is able to move them over. The Sox offense is following the simple teaching of "get them on, get them over, get them in" because of Gillaspie. His nine RBIs so far proves this point.
He is driving the ball to all fields and is placing the ball where the fielders are not. If one was to predict that the third baseman would have a slash of .342/.400/.447 at any time this season, no one would believe them.
Not much was expected out of Gillaspie this season. All the talk about the third base position centered around whether Matt Davidson would make the ball club or not. Before Jeff Keppinger went down with an injury, it was believed that Gillaspie would be a part of a platoon at the hot corner. Not in anyone's wildest dreams was it thought that former San Francisco Giants castoff would strive offensively the way he has so far in 2014.
With a fresh approach at the plate and a mindset that the starting third base position is sole his, Gillaspie has gained more confident every game. If the White Sox are going to shock the world and compete all season, they need Gillaspie to continue making noise with his bat.

Davis Cup: Canada to play Japan in first round in 2014: Cox
Despite confusion, TV numbers from last week's Canada-Serbia tussle suggest Canadians are starting to embrace the Davis Cup, Damien Cox writes.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
From Damien Cox's Spin on Sports blog:
Yes, even as a tennis fan, I understand the way in which the Davis Cup seems to have no real beginning and no real ending. It just goes on and on.
I get that.
The perfect example? Canada just was defeated in the world semifinal by Serbia, which will now move on to the 2013 Davis Cup final to take on the Czech Republic in mid-November, likely in Belgrade.
Yet here we are this morning learning that Serbia has already drawn Roger Federer and Switzerland for the first round of the 2014 World Group playoffs in late January, while the Czechs will play the Dutch.
Huh? It's kind of like if the NHL released its 2015 playoff first round matchups on the eve of the 2014 Stanley Cup final.
It may have to be this way due to logistics. But yeah, I get the confusion.
Still, the TV numbers from last week's Canada-Serbia tussle suggest Canadians are starting to embrace the Davis Cup, particularly with identifiable players like Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil.
For the January round, Canada got a relatively favourable draw in Japan, which managed to knock off Colombia at home last weekend by doing what the Serbs did, winning the two reverse singles matches on the final day.
The difficult part for the Canadians is that they lost a coin flip and the tie will take place in Tokyo. The good part is that from a travel point of view, it will take part on the heels of the Australian Open, and it's a lot easier to get to Tokyo from Melbourne than to have to travel halfway around the world. For example, Spain will play Germany, and the two teams will have to pack up from Down Under and jet to Germany in a matter of days.
The Japanese are led by Kei Nishikori, one of Raonic's contemporaries in the up-and-coming, 23-and-under crowd on the ATP tour. Raonic is ranked No. 11 in the world, while Nishikori is right on his heels at No. 12.
But while Pospisil is ranked No. 41 and on the rise — he says his ankle injury from Sunday won't keep him out long — Japan's next best player, 29-year-old Go Soeda, has fallen out of the top 100 and is currently No. 123.
All in all, it's a solid chance for Canada to get back to the World Group quarter-finals again next spring, and that tie would be back on home soil.

- //Dick Prall
Coming from a method of songwriting that brings to mind early Tom Petty (or, to a lesser extent, Spoon) Dick Prall crafts fault free melodies that make the listener very eager to find out what's around the corner. "Halfway to Hollywood" bobs along perfectly while the lighter, folksy "If It Bends" and "Honore" resemble a mash-up of Badly Drawn Boy and Cat Stevens. Prall has an ear for hooks and a voice more than apt to accompany them. However, Prall injects a healthy dose of bombast into portions of "The Cornflake Song" with its string and orchestral flavoring. The same can be said, albeit with less than stellar results on "Boulevard" that sounds like Jack Johnson getting together with the late Michael Kamen. Thankfully Prall nails the hell out of "Side By Side" with its springy step and toe-tapping tempo that will leave some dancing in their chairs. The lone disappointment is the filler "B&W" which is rather dull and tedious.

Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Mencken claims that the true American spirit is to be found not in the textbooks or proclamations of grammarians, but in the vulgar speech of the common people. Discuss this claim in a thoughtful analytical essay. What is the American spirit? Does Mencken clearly present what the American spirit is? Is his a defensible claim? How does the vulgar speech of the common person reflect this spirit? Is there some danger of degradation in linguistic form from prevalence of the vulgar speech? How does the vulgar speech reflect upon the American as a human person?
Essay Topic 2
In describing the ways in which American became a distinct dialect, Mencken ascribes great power to the development of a national literature. Examine the relationship between a national literature and a distinct national dialect. What effect does literature have on its readership? What effect does local speech have on authors? How do authors and the literature they write influence a whole nation? How do they help to make the speech of the whole nation distinct from other nations? What, in particular, emerges from the works of popular authors? What is the overall significance of the relationship between a national literature and a national dialect?
Essay Topic 3
There is a very notable and significant difference between the neologisms of the Americans and the British. Write an essay analyzing these differences, their sources, and what the neologisms reveal about the respective national characters. What is characteristic about the neologisms Mencken ascribes to Americans? What are the characteristics of those ascribed to the British? How are these different? How are they similar? How does each country come about fostering their neologisms? What do these methods and their sources reveal about the countries and their national characteristics, respectively?

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
28 Apr 2009 07:49 GMT
Karzai's term was due to expire on May 20, but Afghanistan's supreme court extended it to August 20 due to the vote being delayed over security and logistical concerns.
Taliban fighters opposed to the government have in recent months been resurgent against Afghan forces and troops from the US and Nato.
Britain and other Nato member countries have pledged 5,000 extra troops for Afghanistan before the election, while the US has promised to send an extra 21,000 troops.
Security challenge
Brown said that while Afghan and foreign forces had provided some security in the southern province of Helmand, there was still more to do. "If much has been achieved, there is still much more to achieve - especially in the south, the Taliban heartland where British soldiers are fighting alongside brave Afghan soldiers," he said.
"British soldiers ... are striving to defeat the insurgency and bring progress, taking Musa Qala [a district in Helmand] back from the insurgents [and bringing] real progress in the six key population centres there.
"As I sat down with the governor and the local elders this morning, I heard the desire to see Helmand prosper and stabilised, in a future free from extremism."
Thousands of civilians are thought to have been killed amid continued fighting between government forces, US and Nato-led troops, and Taliban fighters.
Aleem Siddique, the United Nations spokesman in Afghanistan, told Al Jazeera: "The reality of the situation is that civilian casualties are being caused - and they are being caused by both sides in this conflict.
"If we look at the last year alone, over 2,000 Afghan civilians perished as a result of the fighting.
"While we have seen measures on the part of the military forces to reduce the level of civilian casualties, we think there is no room for complacency here, particularly as we will see a troop surge taking place in the next few months."

Pastor's Message
Fr. Alexander Goussetis
In Webster's Dictionary, the word discipline is defined as, 'training which corrects, molds, strengthens, or perfects.' It is interesting that when the word discipline is applied in conjunction with the fields of sports or education, we express great admiration for disciplined people.
Yet when we apply the term discipline in the context of the Christian faith, we are often met with skepticism or even derision. Ask ten Orthodox Christians about their opinion on fasting and you will receive twelve responses in return. Yet fasting is not an optional aspect of the Christian journey; it is a discipline that 'corrects, molds, strengthens, and perfects' our faith.
Don't simply take my word for it. Scripture reminds us that the root of the word discipline is disciple, implying that to be a disciple of Christ requires discipline.
Even more persuasively, St. Paul highlights in his letter to the Galatians that the fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. That's right! To abide in the Holy Spirit means to live a life of discipline and self-control.
The discipline of fasting is not meant to punish or withhold God's blessings. Instead, it leads us to appreciate God's bounty even more. Fasting provides balance and perspective in one's daily life. Combined with prayer, acts of charity, and participation in the sacramental life of the Church, fasting brings the mind, body, and soul into unity.
With the Dormition fast upon us (August 1-14), we are again invited to apply the teachings and practices of our faith. Commit to the discipline of fasting as instructed by the Church. Do not limit this fast to food, but fasting from gossip, harsh language, sinful activities, and selfish ideals.
Instead, 'feed' yourself: a) by attending one of the nightly Paraklesis services, b) with spiritual reading, c) with a visit to someone in need, d) with more family time, and e) by the counting of blessings from our merciful and loving God. The investment that we make in living a disciplined Christian life will provide phenomenal returns in how we view our- selves, how we interact with others, and how we can invite God into our daily lives.
