Originally posted on Scene Asia:
Zao Wou-ki, a painter who was recently the highest-selling living Chinese artist at auction, passed away Tuesday at his home in Switzerland. He was 93.
Mr. Zao, who is known for his abstract works, suffered from dementia and weak health. He was living in a lakeside house near Geneva with his third wife, Françoise Marquet, who survives him along with a son from a previous marriage, Jialing Zhao.

Born in Beijing in 1920, Mr. Zao studied fine arts in Hangzhou and Chongqing before moving to Paris in 1948. In France, he began to discover Western art styles and became a fixture on the country's art scene in the second half of the 20th century. However, his career hit a lull in the 1990s, when few of his works were sold and museum interest waned.
The artist's career was rejuvenated following a major retrospective in Paris in 2003. Since then, his blend of Chinese techniques with Western modernist aesthetics has caught the eye of wealthy Asian collectors – especially from Taiwan and mainland China – who have paid significant sums for his works.
In 2011, Mr. Zao was the top-selling, living Chinese artist at auction, with his works fetching $90 million in sales that year. Demand remains strong: Last week, his painting "10.03.83" sold for $4.8 million at a Sotheby's sale in Hong Kong.
His estate, which includes hundreds of paintings, is the subject of a legal dispute between Ms. Marquet and Mr. Zhao.

David Cronenberg's 'A Dangerous Method,' Jon Cassar's 'The Kennedys' Dominate Directors Guild of Canada Awards
Showtime's "The Borgias" was another multiple winner at the Toronto event.
TORONTO - No surprise here: Canada's penchant for dressing actors in fancy ruffs for foreign costume dramas had David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method and Jon Cassar's The Kennedys emerging as the big winners Saturday night at the Directors Guild of Canada Awards in Toronto.
Cronenberg's film about a woman who came between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, starring Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen, swept the movie awards at the Canadian kudosfest.
The period drama won for best direction, best feature film, best production design, best picture editing by Ron Sanders and best sound editing.
STORY: David Cronenberg Slams Superhero Films, Calls 'Dark Knight Rises' Boring
On the TV side, Cassar (24) won for best direction for The Kennedys, the Katie Holmes and Greg Kinnear-starring mini-series about the legendary American family.
The eight-part project was also named best TV movie/mini-series, and won for best production design, best picture editing and best sound editing in the same category.
Showtime's The Borgias dominated the TV drama category, earning Jeremy Podeswa the best TV series direction prize.
The Renaissance costume drama also won the best TV drama award and picked up trophies for best production design and best picture editing in the TV drama competition.
Foreign costume dramas like The Borgias and The Tudors, mostly structured as minority co-productions with minimal Canadian participation, have dominated Canadian TV awards in recent years.
Cash-strapped Canadian broadcasters have increasingly commissioned multi-passport costume dramas, whose creative is driven out of the U.S. and whose budgets can be spread across a host of co-producing markets.
At the same time, homegrown laughers have kept it in the family at award shows here.
The best TV comedy prize at the DGC awards Saturday night went to Call Me Fitz, the Canadian pay TV sitcom that stars Jason Priestley.

Ann Randolph is considered one of the most gifted and innovative writer-performers in the country, and has been hailed by critics as "revolutionary, Whitmanesque, and a tour de force." Ann's solo shows have garnered many awards, including the prestigious LA Weekly and Los Angeles Times Ovation for "Best Solo Show." Excerpts from her shows have […]
Kripalu life coaches share their experiences and pearls of wisdom.
Turning Point: Q&A with Ann Randolph
Forging a New Path with Sadie Nardini
There are times when a radical change of course is necessary in life. The old way just isn't working anymore; a new approach is required. We don't know where we're headed, but we know it's time to forge a new path. Transformation is imminent.
I was at such a juncture a couple of years ago. Newly divorced and living 10 minutes from my ex-husband, I felt stuck in my past. Surrounded by reminder after reminder of my former life, I felt the need to alter my geography to jumpstart a transformation. With a hearty dose of trepidation and anticipation, I left Boston and moved to Los Angeles.
Navigating the Darkness—Self-Care and Connection in the Wake of Tragedy
How can we, as mindful people, make our way through this time of senseless and unimaginable loss? Here, Aruni Nan Futuronsky, Kripalu Senior Life Coach, shares some ways we can all seek solace and cultivate connection in the wake of the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.
Renew your gratitude for what is. Take a few minutes today to appreciate what you have in your life: Speak your gratitude to others. Savor the love that is present. Enjoy and appreciate your children. We live in the illusion of permanence. Life, by definition, is impermanent. By becoming more aware of what is, by savoring it more, perhaps some meaning might emerge from this tragedy.
The Grounding Power of Gratitude
Our mental time-travel away from the present moment is one of our primary dilemmas: Oftentimes, it's much easier to focus on what might be happening, on what's not happening, or on what has already happened than on what's currently happening. Ultimately, it benefits us physiologically, energetically, emotionally, and spiritually to train our minds to return […]
The Politics of Emotion
In the days after the election, millions of people around the world watched as President Obama delivered a heartfelt—and teary—speech to his campaign staff. "What you guys have done," he said to them, wiping away tears with his finger, "means that the work that I'm doing is important." It was both surprising and moving to see a man in a position traditionally known for coolness—under pressure always—overcome with such visible emotion.
In fact, emotions came up a lot throughout the election. Some of the most prominent issues were ones that spoke to us, our lives and our beliefs, very personally: our right to control our bodies, our right to marry whomever we want. We saw many tender moments between the candidates—though some more tender than most. Both during and after the election, the emotional vulnerability we saw from Obama far surpassed that of his opponent, making us wonder: Could emptions have contributed to Obama's win?
Three Tips to Succeed in Your Life's Work
Tama Kieves, guest blogger
You may not know what you'd love to do. Or you may be in the thick of living your passion, but want to take your dream to the heights of wild success. The path is the same. It's about choosing love instead of fear.
Stay true to your desires. Please don't make them "practical." This is an inspired path, not a "reasonable" one. Ignore the experts and listen to your genius. Express what you want, not what you think you can have. Undiluted desire excites you. When you're engaged, you're firing on all cylinders. When you're inspired, you're unstoppable.
Meditation in Action
How meditation can help you be a better friend.
Meditation has long been celebrated for all it can do for us, among the benefits: lower blood pressure, reduce stress, help us sleep, and even possibly help us lose weight. But a recent study also found that meditation might help us be better friends and partners. Researchers at Emory University in Atlanta found that many participants who had practiced eight weeks of meditation showed significant improvement in their ability to identify the emotions of people in photos based on their expressions. That is, they were more in tune with the feelings of others.

Last month, my son bravely headed off to kindergarten, with his new camouflage lunchbox in hand and a slightly quivering lip. But once he met his teacher and saw a familiar classmate, Eli's nerves subsided and he quickly adjusted to the long hours, practically gushing about riding the bus for weekly field trips and playing soccer with the "big kids" at recess.
Still, even those who have conquered first-day jitters may not be free of the "back-to-school blues" just yet, says pediatric psychiatrist Patrick Kelly of the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. "There's usually a little bit of a honeymoon period," especially for older children and teenagers, he explains. "But about a month or so in, the teasing starts, the cliques start, the work gets more demanding, and it all becomes more of a routine, and that's when some of the bigger academic and social issues can come to light."

About Dentistry from our Hearts
We wouldn't be where we are today without the Lynchburg, Virginia community. That's why it's so important to us to give back through various projects and events throughout the year. We believe in proper dental care for everyone, and we are looking forward to providing quality treatment to the community for years to come.
Beginning in 2008, Forest Dental Center began providing free dental care for those in need in the Lynchburg and Forest community at their annual event in September.
With a volunteer staff of 18 doctors and countless other dental staff and community members assisting, each year we're able to treat hundreds of patients who otherwise may not have received dental care. We're hoping to continue the expansion of our efforts to include more participating dental offices and volunteers to affect more lives on this special day.
We recognize that there's a huge need for missions work around the world — and there's also a need right here at home. We rely on community support to provide families and individuals in need with the same care as our patients in the office.
We welcome local volunteers and doctors' offices to join us in participation this year.

No. 09/271,481, filed Mar. 17, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,110,176, which is a division of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/886,173, filed Jul. 1, 1997, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,913,859.
The present invention relates generally to methods and apparatus for recovering bone material, such as bone marrow, bone, and contiguous tissue, from a patient and subsequent collection and storage.
There are a number of diseases in which the bone marrow is defective, such as aplastic anemia, some forms of leukemia, and deficiencies in the bone marrow caused by cancer treatments with drugs and irradiation. The treatment of choice for these diseases is bone marrow transplantation, provided a genetically compatible donor can be found. For instance, bone marrow transplants are significantly reducing the death toll from childhood leukemias.
Bone marrow, also called myeloid tissue, is a soft, gelatinous tissue that fills the cavity of the bones. Human bone consists of a hard outer cortex and a soft medullary cavity that contains bone marrow. Bone marrow consists of stroma, or supporting tissues which have spaces packed by blood cells. Bone marrow is either red or yellow, depending upon the preponderance of vascular (red) or fatty (yellow) tissue. In humans, the red bone marrow forms all of the blood cells with the exception of the lymphocytes, which are produced in the marrow and reach their mature form in the lymphoid organs. Yellow bone marrow serves primarily as a storehouse for fats, but may be converted to red marrow under certain conditions, such as severe blood loss or fever. At birth, and until about the age of seven, all human marrow is red, as the need for new blood formation is high. Thereafter, fat tissue gradually replaces the red marrow, which in adults is found in the vertebrae, hips, breast bone, ribs, and skull, and at the ends of the long bones of the arms and legs, other cancellous, or spongy bones, and the central cavities of the long bones. In mammals, blood formation in adults takes place predominantly in the marrow. Because the white blood cells produced in the bone marrow are involved in the body's immune defenses, marrow transplants have been used to treat certain types of immune deficiencies. The sensitivity of marrow to damage by radiation and some anticancer drugs accounts for the tendency of these treatments to impair immunity.
Bone marrow transplants can be divided into three groups according to the source of the marrow for transplantation. They are called autologous, syngeneic, or allogeneic. Autologous transplantation means that the bone marrow has been received directly from the recipient, and will be an exact genetic match. A syngeneic transplant comes from an identical twin of the recipient and will also be an exact genetic match. However, for allogeneic transplants, the bone marrow is provided by another person, and the possibility of exact genetic matching is very low.
It is reported that approximately 12,000 bone marrow transplants were performed in 1992, approximately half of which were allogeneic and half autologous. Autologous transplantation has grown significantly during the past several years as improvements in procedures are made. The number of patients receiving allogeneic transplants is also rising due in large part because donor registries have increased the number of readily available donors. Advances in bone marrow transplantation techniques will likely continue to expand the use of the bone marrow transplant procedure.
Generally, the recipient's sibling or parent will serve as the best source as the donor because of the high possibility of genetic matching. However, there are many cases where neither the parent nor the sibling will be a compatible genetic match for the recipient. There has been a recent increase in the use of bone marrow from unrelated donors which can provide genetic compatibility between the donor and recipient. This increase has been made possible through the existence of large bone marrow registries, such as the National Marrow Donor Program, and the American Bone Marrow Donor Registry. The drawback to these registries are the insufficient number of donors that genetically match closely enough with potential recipients to be of use.
The success of the bone marrow transplantation technique depends heavily on genetically cross-matching the donor marrow cells to those of the recipient to prevent rejection. There is a significant tendency for the recipient patient to reject an allografted marrow because parts of the donor marrow will attack their new host. There is an additional hazard because immune system cells in a marrow graft can react against the patient's tissues, causing serious and sometimes fatal graft versus host disease. The ability to accept a bone marrow transplant (graft) from a donor, is dependent on the recipient sharing all of the donor's histocompatibility genes. To avoid graft versus host rejection in the past, special immunosuppressive treatment has been given. The use of monoclonal antibodies to selectively remove harmful lymphocytes from the donor marrow has been successful in some cases to prevent graft versus host disease. However, the risk remains that unless the bone marrow source is from the patient himself, an identical twin, sibling, parent, or other genetically compatible donor, that the bone marrow transplantation cannot take place because it will result in graft versus host rejection, and the failure of the treatment, and possibly the death of the recipient.
Therefore, there is a significant need to collect and store genetically compatible bone marrow for use in cases where bone marrow transplantation is necessary to save the life of an individual. Because of the significant possibility that a donor cannot be found which is a close genetic match to the recipient, there is a need to collect and store an individual's own bone marrow while that individual is still healthy. If this is done, there will be a complete genetic match, and the dangers of graft versus host rejection will be eliminated which increases the success of the treatment.
The collection of bone marrow for transplantation purposes is usually accomplished by inserting a needle into a donor's hip or pelvic bone. Several small incisions are made in the pelvic area, and the needle is inserted through these incisions approximately 25 to 30 times to withdraw the bone marrow from the bones. The extraction process typically lasts at least one hour or more, or until approximately 500 to 1000 milliliters of the donor's marrow is withdrawn.
The donor will fully recover in approximately a few weeks when all the donated marrow has been replaced within the body. However, the extraction process is painful and there is typically soreness around the incisions until healing can occur. Typically, the donors also feel fatigued for some time after the procedure. The side effects to having donated bone marrow can vary from donor to donor. Infection from the incision is always a possibility. Additionally, blood loss can also occur, and proper medical attention is required. It is recommended that donors routinely store supplies of their own blood for infusion during and after the extraction procedure in cases of emergencies.
Bone marrow can be obtained through biopsy or aspiration from the sternum or the calvarium in adults, and in long bones, such as the femur and tibia, in adolescents. Biopsy needles for extraction of solid bone marrow are known. Examples of such biopsy needles are U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,991,692; 2,426,535; 2,496,111; 4,272,676; 4,266,555; 4,543,966; 4,487,209; 4,840,184; and 4,922,602, which show the overall structure and orientation of the components. Needles used for aspiration of liquid bone marrow are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,469,109. Needles designed to both biopsy and aspirate bone marrow are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,496,111; 3,587,560; 5,012,818; and 5,357,974.
There is a need for bone marrow extraction techniques that avoid the considerable inconvenience, discomfort, and pain due to current bone marrow extraction procedures and aspiration methods. Therefore, there is also a need to provide a method and apparatus to obtain both solid and liquid bone marrow from a donor with minimal intrusion and pain. There is also a need for the bone marrow to be stored for later use and is accomplished with relative ease.
The housing 17 has a cavity 26. A hollow shaft 29 having a conduit 30 and first and second end portions 32 and 35 is rotatably mounted in the housing 17 with the end portion 35 being disposed in the cavity 26. The end portion 32 includes a bur 38 having a cutting flute 39 for boring a hole in the jawbone 13. A beveled gear 41 is attached to the second end portion 35 of the hollow shaft 29. While, in the current embodiment, the hollow shaft 29 is provided integrally with the beveled gear 41, it will be appreciated that the hollow shaft 29 may be removably attached to the beveled gear 41 to facilitate bur replacement, as described more fully below with respect to the embodiment of
The housing 17 may have a first passage 50 in communication with the hollow shaft 29. The first passage 50 is for passing irrigation fluid to the extraction site. The irrigation fluid passes through the passage 50 and then through the conduit 30 to the extraction site. The irrigation fluid cools the extraction site and adds liquid to the extracted fluids and solids to facilitate removal by suction. A source 51 (
A suction tube 57 may be connected to the second passage 53 for extracting solid bone marrow from the medullary cavity of the donor. The rotating bur 38 and the suction tube 57 are preferably detachably connectible to the housing. The housing 17 may be a hand-held power unit. However, while the housing 17 may be formed in a generally cylindrical handle-type configuration as shown in
Apparatus 10 may include structure for breaking up bone marrow into smaller particles prior to the entry of the particles into the second passage 53. For example, a spiral cutting blade 59 may be attached to the outer surface of the hollow shaft 29 for breaking up particles while the hollow shaft 29 rotates. Additionally or alternatively, the cavity 26 may be defined by walls having ridges 62. The ridges 62 break up the bone marrow into smaller particles as the particles pass through the cavity 26 into the second passage 53.
As shown in
The suction tube 57, which includes an integral valve 68 (FIG. 1), is attached to a vacuum source 71 (shown schematically in
A vacuum source 74 (
The apparatus 10 of
A biopsy needle 85, shown schematically in
Alternatively, an end 90 of the tube 57 may be removed from the housing 17. A biopsy needle may be attached to the end 90 of the tube 57. The biopsy needle may then be positioned adjacent the extraction site to assist in bone marrow extraction. In this configuration, all suction would be provided by the biopsy needle, because the apparatus 10 would not be in communication with the vacuum source 74.
A preferred embodiment has a rotating bur 38 that is oversized for vacuum collection. The rotating bur 38 may be made of, for example, carbides, stainless steel, or plastic, and comprises at least one large opening similar to internal irrigating burs used for implants, with a cuff as either an integral part of a disposal hand piece or attachable to the bur 38, allowing free rotation of the forward portion only. The rotating bur 38 is connected to a vacuum hand piece similar to the housing 17, such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,863,635. The rotating bur 38 may also be contained within the suction tube 57.
The liquid bone marrow can be obtained from dental extraction sites using a heavy metal blunt instrument following dental extraction to compress the bone alone and integrated vacuum to collect the bone marrow.
The apparatus 10 may include a solid bone marrow extraction portion having a first end and a second end. The first end is for collecting bone marrow. The apparatus 10 may also include a liquid bone marrow extraction portion comprising a first end and a second end. The first end is for breaking bone marrow stroma and aspirating the liquid marrow. Some conventional biopsy needles may be used to provide the solid bone marrow extraction portion and the liquid bone marrow extraction portion.
The apparatus of
The extraction of bone marrow from the jawbone during a dental procedure provides an advantage to the dental procedure alone in that it decreases the percentage of extraction sites experiencing dry sockets. This is due to the perforation of the compressed bone of the tooth socket.
In an exemplar embodiment, the bone marrow extraction apparatus effects the removal of bone marrow and bone marrow fluid from a donor and mixes the removed bone marrow with a suitable form of solution, such as a mixture of anticoagulant and saline or electrolytic solution. The bone marrow and bone marrow fluid removed from the donor are then transferred either into a cell separator or a suitable collection bag, such as the collection chamber 56, so as to permit separation of the bone marrow and fluid for subsequent processing and long-term storage. The collected bone marrow may also be used for the subsequent reinjection into the donor in future bone marrow transplantation procedures.
In the removal of the bone marrow from the donor, a solution consisting of heparin or other anticoagulant compositions, together with a saline solution, can be mixed with the bone marrow and bone marrow fluid before, during, and/or after being transferred into separating or collecting means.
The collection device 56 may be a bag containing chemicals for preserving bone marrow. The chemicals may be in the bag prior to the withdrawal of bone marrow from the jaw of a patient. In this manner, after bone marrow has been collected, the device 56 can be stored cold directly. Additionally or alternatively, chemicals can be added to the collection device 56 during or after collection of bone marrow to preserve the bone marrow. Suitable means for adding chemicals to a container such as the collection device 56 are well known in the art and may include penetrable membranes at specific locations on the collection device 56.
The collection device 56 is preferably collapsible so that air may be removed after collection has occurred. Removal of air increases the useful life of the bone marrow.
From the foregoing, disclosed is a bone marrow collection apparatus which is easily adapted to conventional dental or medical equipment. A technical advantage of the extraction-removing equipment of the invention is that bone marrow can be more quickly removed than conventional extraction procedures.
The dental apparatus according to the invention is not limited to that specifically disclosed and may comprise tools other than that described herein. Andre Schroeder et al., Oral Implantology, pages 66-71, 118-151, 178-187, 202-217, and 228-243 (George Thieme Verlag, 1988), discloses additional tools that are capable of boring holes in jawbones. Further, U.S. Pat. No. 4,564,374 discloses a device that is capable of extracting both solid and liquid bone marrow. Adaptation of this device may also be used in accordance with the present invention.
In an exemplar method, a donor is positioned in a dental examination chair. A hole is formed in the donor's jawbone before, during, or immediately after a conventional dental procedure using the boring portion or bur 38 of the apparatus according to the present invention. The boring portion or bur 38 can also be used to break up the bone marrow after a hole is formed. The area of marrow extraction is sterilized with an antiseptic solution. The entire procedure of obtaining both solid and liquid bone marrow can be accomplished in less than one to two minutes. The large lumen is introduced into the previously made bore hole and pushed into the medullary cavity. The large lumen is pushed further into the marrow cavity with forward pressure in order to obtain solid marrow. The large round bur can simultaneously irrigate and vacuum.
Liquid bone marrow sample is obtained by applying a negative pressure in the small lumen of the suction tube 57 using a vacuum source (not shown). This results in the breaking of marrow stroma and the release of fluid marrow.
Referring now to
In the illustrated embodiment, the removable abrading means 138 is provided in the form of a bur having a bur head 137 attached to a shaft 129. The bur shaft 129 is removably attached to the connection end 143 of the extension 142 via threaded connection, a clamp, or any other releasable connection means known in the art. The bur head 137 is positioned on a distal end of the bur shaft 129 and includes a cutting flute 139 for boring into bone material. Accordingly, rotation of the drive shaft 147 is transferred via the drive gear 144, bevel gear 141, and extension 142 to the bur shaft 129, thereby to rotate the bur head 137.
The releasable connection provided by the removable bur 138 allows various types of burs to be used with the same hand piece housing 117. For example, a first bur having a large cutting flute may be used for cutting through and/or harvesting cortical bone. When a sufficient bone material extraction site has been created, the first bur may be replaced with a second bur having a larger lumen to more efficiently harvest softer bone material such as marrow. In addition, worn out burs may be more easily replaced.
In the embodiment of
A second passage 153 may be formed in the housing 117 having one end in fluid communication with the cavity 126. A source of irrigation fluid may be connected to the housing 117 to provide irrigation fluid at the extraction site. The second passage 153 for irrigation is not required, and the device 100 may be used without irrigation in a variety of applications.
In a further embodiment illustrated in
The collar 308 may further be releasably attached to the shield 300 so that the collar 308 may remain in place in the entry port 307 after the extraction process is complete. Accordingly, the collar 308 may be formed of any material used to augment bone or to serve as a resorbable membrane, such as collagen. If the collar 308 is to remain indefinitely or permanently in place, a plug 313 (
The shield 300 may include a moveable arm 312 for directing the bur head of an extraction apparatus having a flexible bur shaft, as shown in FIG. 7. The moveable arm 312 includes a grip end 314 positioned near the shield receiving end 304 that may be grasped by the user and rotated about the inside surface of the shield 300. The arm 312 further has a directing tip 316 positioned proximal to the connection end 302 for engaging the bur shaft or head when the extraction apparatus is inserted into the shield 300. Accordingly, as the arm 312 is rotated about the shield 300, the directing tip 316 pushes the bur head toward a desired location and helps hold the bur head in the desired location as the bur shaft rotates.
A gasket 320 is provided in a neck portion 322 of the shield 300, as shown in FIG. 7. The gasket 320 defines an inner aperture 324 sized to closely fit a housing exterior of the extraction apparatus, thereby to assist in maintaining a sufficient vacuum level in the vicinity of the bur head.
In addition to the benefits noted above, the shield 300 stabilizes the positioning of the extraction apparatus during a collection procedure by providing support, via engagement of the housing by the gasket 320. The shield 300 may also help protect soft tissue when bone material is extracted from a site surrounded by such tissue.
From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that the extraction apparatus described herein may be used to harvest bone material from a variety of sites. As disclosed above, bone material may be extracted from the jaw, sternum, and skull. In addition, the apparatus may collect bone material from other sites, such as the hip. Furthermore, as noted above, contiguous tissue such as dental pulp is included in the definition of 'bone material', as used herein. The methods and apparatus disclosed herein may be used to extract dental pulp from exfoliated teeth, for example.
While a rotating bur has been described in the above embodiments, it will be appreciated that other bone material abrading means, such as a reciprocating file, may be used without departing from the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, while the illustrated burs are shown as being round, the abrading means, whether a bur, a file, or other device, may be in any shape or form suitable for abrading and extracting bone material.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom, as modifications will be obvious to those skilled in the art.

So many people feel insignificant, unworthy and unimportant.
The truth of the matter is there are no unimportant people and no unimportant events.
A man sat in the shade of a tree and saw an apple fall and discovered the law of gravity. His name was Isaac Newton.
Another man sat in the kitchen and saw a teakettle steam. It was a significant experience because, seeing that teakettle, he discovered the principle of the steam engine. His name was Robert Fulton.
There are no insignificant people or insignificant events.
At 43, it's probably time to stop saying, "when" I become middle-aged, and accept that I've arrived. I don't know what the official marker is for middle-aged, but I seriously doubt I'm going to make it to 86.
We all had role models growing up. Maybe you still do.
Who was your role model? Why did you choose the person? What qualities did he/she possess?
Did your role model fall in your eyes over time?
Mayor Greg Fischer has proclaimed Louisville to be "Compassion City."
What a noble thing to do! For compassion is the unique human ability to care about other people, to be considerate of others and sensitive to their needs.
