God is at the center of each individual and His power is the foundation of recovery and healing.
We are spiritual, physical, psychological and social beings with agency. Healing = Courage + Action + Grace
Humility, accountability, honesty and a willingness to surrender are fundamental attributes for individual recovery and healing.
Recovery and healing is self-directed, but must be supported by others through participation in qualified therapy, education, actively working the 12 steps and accepting spiritual guidance.

The God of our Understanding or our Higher Power is the key and essential component to true recovery. Ultimately recovery is a spiritual process.
When we become addicted or experience trauma we almost always lose some part of our connection with God. Whether we feel hypocrisy at our behaviors or we lose trust in all things, including our higher power, that relationship often becomes damaged. We may not have ever had an opportunity to have a relationship with a higher power before, but that does not mean we cannot recover from our addiction or heal from our trauma. Many times in our addiction we become self-absorbed, all of our efforts focused on controlling our addiction or finding ways to act out. In this case we come to believe that we are the highest power that exists.
Rebuilding and maintain a relationship with the God of our Understanding is an essential component of recovery and a result of our recovery efforts.
Each of these inside petals represents the different parts of the self.
The emotional part of the self needs to have healthy and close attachments in order to thrive. We all need to have people in our lives that we regularly connect with and feel safe with.
Both addiction and trauma damage the emotional part of the self in that when we lie, hide, or feel great shame about parts of ourselves or our lives we become isolated. You may have found yourself avoiding social situations or spending time in healthy social engagements. Many of us blame others and hurt some of our closest relationships to continue our behaviors. Others of us are so scared that we will not truly be accepted, we avoid all of our old connections.
Damages to our emotional self from childhood and young adulthood can also contribute to our desires to act out in our addiction. We may have resentments or problems with trust due to abuses or abandonments we have experienced.
The emotional part of the self must be healed and brought to a healthy place in order to truly recover. The next set of petals represent the four resources that are essential for our emotional self to heal.
Each of these inside petals represents the different parts of the self.
Our spirituality is the connection we have with a Higher Power. This can be the God of our Understanding, Nature, Life, Karma, Humanity, or any other greater life force that we believe is greater than us. Spirituality can be connected to a particular organized religion, but does not necessarily have to.
The spiritual part of the self will be damaged by addiction and can be damaged by our trauma. In addiction we come to believe that we are the greatest power that exists with the most important needs. We may not have had an opportunity to build a spiritual connection in a healthy way, or we may have chosen our behaviors above our spiritual health.
For those of us who have experienced betrayal in a close relationship we often spend all of our emotional energy focused on changing the offending partner that we neglect our spiritual self. We may also have felt so betrayed that we do not feel we can trust any being, including a Higher Power.
The spiritual part of the self must be healed and brought to a healthy place in order to truly recover and heal. The next set of petals represent the four resources that are essential for our spiritual self to heal.
Each of these inside petals represents the different parts of the self.
The mental part of the self represents the mind. It includes the parts of us that are unconscious to us. Both addiction and betrayal trauma damage our mind in that over time we gain ingrained thought patterns and mental attitudes about ourselves and our needs that are unreal.
Over enough time, we rarely see that when we make definitive statements such as, "I am worthless," "I am unlovable," "I will never be good enough," we are setting ourselves back in our recovery and healing. Those addicted may think, "I can keep doing this and not hurt others," and those in trauma may think regularly, 'I can control his behaviors," or "If only I was better looking this would not be in my life." These thoughts are direct damages done by addiction and trauma that not only can lead us to depression and anxiety, but will keep us in our addiction or traumatized states.
The mental part of the self must be healed and brought to a healthy place in order to truly recovery. The next set of petals represents the four resources that are essential for our mental self to heal.
Each of these inside petals represents the different parts of the self.
The physical part of the self represents our physical health. Although sexual addiction does not damage our physical bodies in the same way that chemical addictions can, our brains are damaged as a result of addiction.
Our minds were not built to see the level of sexual content that is now available to us today. Our brains can quickly become wired in an unnatural way towards sexual content. Our brains send all of its electrical energy and hormones to the pleasure center of the brain. This center, although essential, can become overwhelmed and over time lose function. Likewise with so many resources being spent in the pleasure center, our prefrontal cortex, or the part of the self that can make rational and centered thoughts does not receive enough energy. Thus we may find ourselves making "juvenile" decisions, acting impulsively, or having a difficult time making emotional connections because our brain is literally damaged.
Those experiencing trauma over time can experience a rewiring of the brain as well. When we experience trauma we go into fight/flight/freeze mode regularly. This is a natural response to hearing of a close partner's sexual addiction, but if we continue in this trauma without finding healing, our brains will rewire to prefer feeling "crazy" or over stimulated than feeling peace and serenity. We must learn ways to gain validation of our traumatized state and also cope with the pain we experience as a result of sexual addiction in our lives.
Beyond the damage done to our brains, both those addicted and those traumatized are vulnerable to other physical disorders such as eating disorders (over or under eating), exercise problems (over or under exercising), sleep problems (over or under sleeping).
The physical part of the self must be given attention to and healed and brought to a healthy place in order to truly recover. The next set of petals represent the four resources that are essential for our physical self to heal.
Working with a spiritual leader is critical to recovery and healing.
As we reach out to and work with a spiritual leader to help us to recovery our relationship with a higher power, honestly disclose our experiences, and find advocacy and help we will find recovery.
Working with a therapist is critical to recovery and healing.
When we choose to, reaching out and working with a therapist will help us to heal the psychological, physical, and sometimes social parts of the self. In working with a therapist we learn to trust, open up honestly, and learn different ways to heal from our addiction and trauma. In order to get the help we need we must meet with someone who is qualified and specialized in treating sexual addiction and betrayal trauma.
Gaining and education about pornography and sexual addiction and betrayal trauma is an essential part of our recovery.
When we direct our learning by reading books, articles, pamphlets, watch DVD's and video clips, and attend professional conferences and classes; we become experts on ourselves and on our own needs for healing. We must direct our own recovery and in getting an education we are better able to work towards our healing one day at a time.
12-Step provides a special blend of help in that it covers healing from each of the parts of the self. It helps to heal the social and physical self as we physically attend groups, get outside of our box, and meet with people. It helps to heal the spiritual and psychological parts of the self as we work the steps regularly which are spiritual and psychological in nature.
Although attending 12-step to work on our healing and self-care is essential, it can be scary and uncomfortable at first. You my have tried it a time or two with no success. We encourage you to continue to go back when you are ready and try other groups until you find the healing you seek. 12-step work is essential in the recovery process.
Each of us lives in an environment full of both darkness and light. We have music, jobs, family, resources, media, acquaintances, and friends. We have physical environments such as weather, temperature, financial status, and many other components that act upon us each day. We don't get to choose all parts of the environment around us, but we can choose how much of our environment we accept, engage in, and invite in our lives.
When we are stuck in addiction and trauma we often ignore, feel too busy for, and miss out on the beautiful, peace inviting parts of our environment: rain hitting our window pane, a beautiful song played in church, the leaves changing on the mountain, the way snow glitters under the lamp posts, the sound of the ocean hitting the sand, or the feel of the grass beneath our feet. Likewise, we often naturally put our focus on the darker aspects of our environment: the triggering woman in the grocery store, the billboard on the side of the road, the angry driver, the traffic jam, the child smearing peanut butter on our best shirt, the pollution, and the heavy burden of expectations at work or in the home.
As we work on our recovery, reach out to these essential resources for our healing, and work according to their direction, we must also daily work to put our focus on the small beautiful, peaceful, and glorious parts of the environment around us. As we do so, we will find healing on all levels and we will begin to find our connection with our Higher Power.
Humility is neither weakness nor self-degradation. It is the correct evaluation of one's self. Humility means not hiding, being our real selves both good and bad. Humility paired with honesty gives true power for change.
"If you are humble nothing can touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know who you are"
- Mother Theresa
Accountability is defined as a willingness to accept responsibility for one's actions
Recovery requires a daily self- evaluation that keeps us from slipping into denial or complacency
Honesty is the foundation of healing and recovery. Honesty with one's self, with God and with those who are closely affected by our behaviors is critical.
Without honesty we cannot be true to ourselves and ultimately to anyone else. To be trusted is better than to be loved. Without honesty there is no trust.
Willingness to surrender is using our ability to choose to determine to give our will to God and then giving over to His power. Surrender is a trusting act to which one fully commits; we know that we can trust His love and grace to guide and help us.
Surrender is neither giving up nor giving in; instead, it is giving it over. When I surrender, I do not give up, nor do I give in. Instead, I give over to God, who has the power to fight the battle for me, and by doing so, I emerge victorious; and then through my surrender I find the peace I so desperately desire.

By Justice C. Agoha.
There are strong indications that the Federal Government is making plans to employ jobless graduates as teachers across the country.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, disclosed that the move was aimed at tackling the alarming rate of graduate unemployment in Nigeria.
Ngige made the disclosure in Enugu at an event held to commemorate the 5th anniversary of Bina Foundation and graduation ceremony of the foundation's students.
According to the Minister, the Federal Government had commenced the process of capturing the data of unemployed graduates, adding that the move would help to boost the education sector.
"Most unemployed graduates would be converted to teachers. The move is equally aimed at boosting the education sector," he said.
Ngige further disclosed that even graduates of professional courses such as Engineering and Law would not be exampled from the engagement exercise.
"We have captured unemployed graduates. We are doing two things: we get those who read Law, Engineering and other disciplines but do not have jobs. We would train them for nine months and convert them to teachers.
"Most of our schools have half-baked teachers. We want to redefine our schools.
"We are also building skill acquisition centres. We have twelve of them across the country. The era of white-collar industry is gone," the Minister said.

A link would be nice! I have torchleech too so if there is one there I guess you can just post what you put in the search bar.
thanks in advance!

You can always use the shared chest as extra storage. Out of curiosity, how do you have yours almost filled at level 18 already? What's in it?
"How you feeling Mack?" "Good enough to **** your mother!" -Supertroopers
Umm jewels,armors,Lots of potions and scrolls, all very well organized. I used to sell everything that I would get in a game like this but my friend who I saw playing Morrowind got me into keeping most of my crap and organizing it.
PSN- CountDog, Now playing: Torchlight
You are a collector! I can relate with that. =)
Well, you must start by turning gems in better one using the town transmuter.
If you keeping some good equip to other type of chars, then created them to pick it in the shared chest.
If still full, then is time to create mules. That mean, chars that you don't want to play with, but just use their inventory to hold items.
There are plenty of eyecandy games out there that gave cavity in my eyes! ~ me.
joefitts63 7 years ago#5
For this game, you need to go back to your original methodology. There is absolutely no benefit to saving hardly anything except ember so you can transform it into stronger ember.
A good friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body.
This saddens me. I hope someone will try and make a mod where it expands the size of the chests. I would greatly appreciate that. I will be trying that mule thing. I also may even put like a price of something will affect whether or not it stays in my chests sorto cap. It hurts me to do this.
PSN- CountDog, Now playing: Torchlight
I don't know about chest size, but there's a mod out there that increases the size of stacks for potions and scrolls up to 200. That should help alleviate some of the room burdens, if you haven't gotten it yet.
Adds 2 more stashes and an npc next to the transmuter who can "open" your shared stash to save you walking back and forth from the shared stash, Available in torchleech as "New Stashes and Telekineticist"
This guy also has a couple mods on the right side if you scroll down a bit called "Banker" and "Four more stashes". These are both compatible with the other one I posted giving you a total of 8 stashes plus the shared stash. These ones aren't available in torchleech but they all work together fine.
Nice! That is what I am talking about! Thanks sooo much!

For fun, try the Amsden's duets with a metronome and a friend. Make all the Allegri to Allegro molto ridiciloso. With a friend and a stopwatch you can compete by timing Clarke exercises (no mistakes allowed) or such.
Fast don't count if it aint clean.
"A tool good enough to be so used and not too good"C.S. Lewis That Hideous Strength
Another vote for Clark Technical Studies. It is such a pain to play these exercises perfectly even but they train your fingers very well and since they go to all keys they are very useful musically, even though they seem very boring sometimes. It takes a lot of discipline to not speed up until you master them at the slow tempo, but that is the way to do it.

My favorite for part of a regular warmup is Etude V in the Clarke Technical Studies. If you can play it as directed - in one breath - you're probably doing pretty well on speed. You can always speed it up once you've achieved that. Several of the back-of-the-book pieces in Arban are excellent practice for speed; the faster parts of Fantasie Brillante can be sped up at will, just remember to slow down and really milk the slow part. And good old C O V already mentioned is a classic, as are some of Clarke's performance pieces.
Vintage Olds and Reynolds and Selmers, yes sir, yes sir, two gazoos full.
Aubertins, Bessons, Calicchios, Courtois, Wild Things, Marcinkiewicz, Ogilbee Thumpet, DeNicola Puje, Kanstuls, etc.
The OP is asking for speed. I agree that Arban aso are very good etudes to become a better player. But if you want to play Arban on speed you have to do scales, scales....and more scales.
Chopsgone (what's in a word) is fe right in his diagnosis that if you can play Etude V in the Clark Technical Studies as directed you're probably doing pretty well on speed but I suppose the OP is MORE interested in what to do if you are NOT able to play it as is directed.
The problem is that scales are not very popular or inspiring. But ask a piano teacher what their pupils have to do when they enter as self declared quite good players in the conservatoria and shiver.
BTW if you have a quite good fingering technic on piano you can very easily play scales on for example a saxophone, it is in some (OK, distant) way the same movement.
But the fingering on a trumpet, let's face the facts, is completely unlogic (is that an English word?). That means that if you want to master the scales on a trumpet you have to study them to a level that the movement of the fingers become something you don't have to think about. Because there is nothing linear in trumpetfingering you have to practise all types of scales in every key so to say in the infinite to develop real speed in different keys.
Sorry, bad news indeed.
Then we will all sound the same. Just name everyone here on TM, Clarke.
Common, lets learn patterns... fresh from your own creation... Transcribe other's.... figure what they are doing... that you like... Then blend them... Presto, chango... you sound like YOU. Not like Clarke. Listen to Till Bronner... He got his sound through transcriptions. List to Claudio Roditi... Again through transcriptions... Sure you can play fast by learning Clarke over and over again... Great work Clarke. But if you want to develop a fresh sound as did Bronner, Roditti or Onady, then keep it fresh and learn your own patterns over and over and over until you become as fast as Bronner, Roditi or even that Onady chap. Listen to what Rowuk says (and I). Patterns... 100's of time... But let me emphasize again... KEEP IT FRESH.

Was it missing something on regards what needs to be blanked off??? Showed it to my mate who's killed a few F20's running Phase 3.5 thinking he might have the parts to do it but he seemed to think that something was missing.
Is it a reliable conversion they explained to do or should I buy the proper kit to do the job???
It's gonna be bolted to a turbo & dropped in a Cav GSi.
Who would be best to get the kit from if I need to & what kit would I need as I saw on Regals site they had one for about £85 & the other was about £120. The guy on the phone told me I needed the £85 kit but I don't know.
Help appreciated

It made me laugh a few times, poor guy, he not a pedo he's just big for his age.

Short and Light and a litle wackyEnjoyable! Sometimes it feels like they hit the punchline, sometimes it feels like a good idea left unfinished. It supposed to be a short and light so I guess it's ok. I has aired longer than I expected it.

I found this to be really funny and enjoyable as shorts. The unbelievable growth issues for the two main characters through me off at first, and I didn't really like it that much. But when I just cast off my thoughts about how this would affect them in reality, I had a lot of fun actually! It's hilarious and worth the few minutes of your time to check out. When I didn't ...
Amusing, but repetativeIt's funny, but it's pretty much the same joke in every episode, and the angle they use doesn't make much sense. You'd think Atsushi's condition would be so odd that everyone for miles around would have heard about him, yet not even Atsumi's best friend knows. It's an entertaining watch, but probably could have been half as many episodes...
Cute quick watch, but...This is a comedy series, but it made me feel a little bit sad. I do like the premise, and thought that it was an amusing and cute little show. I liked it enough to finish watching it (not that this took long), and got a few laughs along the way.

Unfortunately the series forgets at times that both Atsushi and his sister can have funny jokes and misunderstandings associated with them.

What I thought about this anime.This is a very funny anime. I wish it was a longer anime. In my opinion, it went too fast. The episodes are 3 minutes long but within them 3 minutes it made me laugh. I enjoyed this anime and I hope you will too.
Great Short Comedy!!!Recorder&Randsell is a great show that constantly has you asking for more. I find myself constantly laughing at Atsushi's antics and the series of constant misunderstandings throughout the show. The brevity keeps the show lighthearted, and leaves only the good content.
Three mins. well spent!For newcomers, yes this anime is three minutes long and very enjoyable! It's cute and not the slightest bit clique. The quick comedy is hilarious and well done. Recommend to all fans of the anime community.

This hooded scarf is made in two separate pieces. However hood is worked directly into the edge of the scarf in order to avoid having to sew another seam. The seam for this scarf falls on top of the hood.
I would consider this to be a beginner pattern. It uses the extended single crochet stitch, which is very easy to do. The yarn used is Bernat Satin, but you can basically use any similar yarn.

Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured.

Easy to find, clean and comfortable
Hotel smelled terrible like smoke. Room door looked as if someone pryed it open with a crowbar. Breakfast was poor at best
it was as expected , friendly , clean & very functional
We pretty much slept and showered during our stay. So it was good for the money we paid.
This place was honestly nothing special. During check in, it smelled like someone was just doing drugs in the entry way. The room was very small and not well lit. All of the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything happening in the hallway or the other rooms. As a budget, last minute stay, it was acceptable but I would not return if I had a choice.

- 9 c green tomatoes
- 6 c apple, cooking
- 4 1/2 c onion
- 2 c celery; trimmed of leaves
- 1/2 c ginger, candied/preserved diced
- 3/4 c raisins
- 2 c sugar, brown, dark
- 1 1/2 c malt vinegar
- 1 tb salt
Yield: 4 Servings. Coarsely dice the tomatoes. Peel, core, and coarsely dice the apples. Coarsely chop the onions. and celery. In a heavy 6 to 8 quart enameled or stainless-steel pot, combine all of the above ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 3 hours, or until most of the liquid has cooked away and the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape in a spoon. Stir frequently as it begins to thicken to prevent it from sticking. Remove the pot from heat and ladle chutney into hot sterilized jars. Fill to 1/4 inch from top, seal jars (rings and lids) and process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes. VARIATIONS: I would use cider vinegar instead of malt. When reducing any sauce for this long I usually put it in the oven at 225 F and stir frequently. This keeps it from burning on the bottom so easily.

Melbourne:Stripped of his Cricket Australia contract on disciplinary grounds two months ago, controversial Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds is keeping busy himself with rugby these days.
Symonds, a supporter of Broncos from his childhood, has become a familiar face at training sessions of the Brisbane NRL side over the past fortnight.
Broncos coach Ivan Henjak said the presence of troubled ex-Test cricketer was not an unwanted distraction as his players walk the NRL tightrope to secure the club's 18th straight finals berth but rather welcome.
"It's been nothing but positive from my end, I'm very happy to have him here," Henjak said.
"He hasn't been a disruption at all, having his presence around is good for everyone. He has a wealth of experience of playing top-level sport, he has a lot to offer," Henjak was quoted as saying by 'Daily Telegraph'.
In 2002, Symonds secretly thought of switching to the Broncos before his cricket career ignited.
However, Henjak denies a future NRL cameo is on the cards for Symonds.
"He's played cricket at highest level. That experience is invaluable, no matter what sport you play," the coach said.

KALAMAZOO, MI – Alamo Drafthouse Cinema's plans to acquire a special redevelopment district liquor license is headed to the Kalamazoo City Commission for approval.
Members of Kalamazoo's Downtown Development Authority unanimously supported plans by the Austin, Texas-based movie-theater operator to push for a license that will allow it to serve alcoholic beverages if and when it opens its dinner-and-a-movie concept in the former Rave Cityplace 14 location in downtown Kalamazoo.
The company is spending more than $1 million to renovate the closed, 14-screen cineplex into one with 10 screens and more elbow room for patrons. The Rave closed in late November.
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is required to have support from the city of Kalamazoo before it petitions the Michigan Liquor Control Commission for a Redevelopment District Liquor License, said Michael Brown, an attorney who represents the company in Michigan. Support from the DDA, whose recommendation will be forwarded to the city commission, was the first step in making that happen.
The redevelopment district liquor license is available in designated redevelopment districts at a cost of $20,000 to businesses that are -- among other things – engaged in dining, entertainment or recreation, are open to the general public, and have spent at least $75,000 to rehabilitate or restore the building where the license will be housed.
"The license is (needed) because they are a drafthouse who will carry as many as 32 Michigan beers on tap," said Rob Peterson, business recruitment and retention director for Downtown Kalamazoo Inc.
The LCC may issue a public on-premises liquor licenses to local units of government – in addition to a municipality's normal quota of on-premise licenses — in order to allow them to enhance the quality of life for their residents and visitors to their communities.
Peterson said there must also be a scarcity of standard Class C licenses available to buy at a reasonable cost.
"The amount of available Class C, or on-premise licenses, that allow patrons to drink wine, beer and spirits -- Kalamazoo is starting to run out of those," Brown said. "There are only a handful of those in escrow (being held by owners but not in use).
Brown said that if all goes well, his firm and Alamo would hope to acquire the license by early June.
Alamo would like to open for business in June, "July at the latest," he said.
Peterson and Brown said the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Kalamazoo will have a full kitchen and a chef to allow it to serve meals to theater-goers before movies start and during. Peterson said Alamo prides itself on doing that in an nondisruptive manner.
"They will also be doing special dinners and events tied around a particular movie," he said.
Peterson said the complex will have the capacity to accommodate up to 900 patrons.
Brown said the theater in Kalamazoo will not only be Alamo's first in Michigan, but it will its first in the Midwest. The business has successful operations in Texas and has expanded with several locations in the East.
"Michigan is only the eighth state (that Alamo has entered)," Brown said. " … Alamo believes that their concept fits in the downtown Kalamazoo marketplace."
"The Rave opened a number of years ago to some success but not enough," Peterson said. Speaking of Kansas City-based EPR Properties, which owns the Rave's property at Portage and South streets, he said, "I think what the landlord has found is an operator who will bring something new and unique and worthy of what we provide downtown."

For lovers of vampire romance, "Sign of the Bloodletters" chronicles one evening at the Swife's Inn. Two strangers visit Artur Swife and his daughter Nevia, sharing their disparate knowledge of the Bloodletters, the legendary blood-drinking race of immortals. Nevia is sympathetic towards those morally ambiguous beings, but that may be due to the influence of the charming Jonas Tammany. The comic is a spin-off of Diana Laurence's vampire romance novel, "Bloodchained."

Hundreds of firefighters filled the apparatus floor and lined the stairs of Engine 88 and Ladder 38 as the company celebrated its centennial on Nov. 17.
"The Fire Department is built on two foundations - bravery and devotion to family and tradition," said Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta. "In that way, the members of Engine 88 and Ladder 38 are among the best of the best."
Members of the company have won more than 20 medals through the years, and numerous citations for bravery.
"You set a high standard for other companies to meet," said Chief of Department Salvatore Cassano. "Your commitment, honor, bravery, service and dedication have allowed the Department to maintain its highest traditions."
Among those in attendance were dozens of retired members, including Lt. Joseph Brosi, who served at Engine 88 for 28 of his 32 years with the FDNY.
Active and retired firefighters and their families filled the apparatus floor to celebrate
Engine 88/Ladder 38's centennial
Firefighter Vincent Albanese was recognized for serving at Ladder 38 for 38 years, as was Firefighter Albert Miskiewicz, who spent his entire 32-year career at Ladder 38.
There were also several fathers and sons recognized for both serving at the fire company, including Firefighters Robert and Matthew Wanner, who both worked out of Engine 88. Firefighter Joseph Spor, Jr., also served at both Engine 88 and Ladder 38 - like his father - before his death at the World Trade Center.
"We have all contributed to the legacy of this great firehouse," Capt. Richard Kirschner of Engine 88 said.
Also recognized in the ceremony was Firefighter Juan Vega, who is currently serving his third tour of duty in Iraq as an Army Sergeant.
An FDNY flag that flew over his base and was signed by his company was presented to Commissioner Scoppetta and Chief Cassano.
"It's not the walls of brick and stone that made this firehouse what it is," said Capt. Michael May of Ladder 38. "It was the members made of steel."

What would you give up to protect your loved ones? Your life?
In her heartbreaking, triumphant, and elegantly written memoir, Prisoner of Tehran, Marina Nemat tells the heart-pounding story of her life as a young girl in Iran during the early days of Ayatollah Khomeini's brutal Islamic Revolution.
In January 1982, Marina Nemat, then just sixteen years old, was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death for political crimes. Until then, her life in Tehran had centered around school, summer parties at the lake, and her crush on Andre, the young man she had met at church. But when math and history were subordinated to the study of the Koran and political propaganda, Marina protested. Her teacher replied, "If you don't like it, leave." She did, and, to her surprise, other students followed.
Soon she was arrested with hundreds of other youths who had dared to speak out, and they were taken to the notorious Evin prison in Tehran. Two guards interrogated her. One beat her into unconsciousness; the other, Ali, fell in love with her.
Sentenced to death for refusing to give up the names of her friends, she was minutes from being executed when Ali, using his family connections to Ayatollah Khomeini, plucked her from the firing squad and had her sentence reduced to life in prison. But he exacted a shocking price for saving her life -- with a dizzying combination of terror and tenderness, he asked her to marry him and abandon her Christian faith for Islam. If she didn't, he would see to it that her family was harmed. She spent the next two years as a prisoner of the state, and of the man who held her life, and her family's lives, in his hands.
Lyrical, passionate, and suffused throughout with grace and sensitivity, Marina Nemat's memoir is like no other. Her search for emotional redemption envelops her jailers, her husband and his family, and the country of her birth -- each of whom she grants the greatest gift of all: forgiveness.

We are very pleased to introduce EmbryoScope+. Our new time-lapse system builds on the same foundation as our EmbryoScope, which has been used for more than 500 000 treatments worldwide, resulting in improved success rates.
The publication by Petersen et. al. "Development of a generally applicable morphokinetic algorithm capable of predicting the implantation potential of embryos transferred on Day 3" has been published in Human Reproduction. Here is an overview of the key messages and a short summary.
In a study presented at the ACE meeting in the UK, Shaw and co-workers compared single step time-lapse medium (Vitrolife, G-TL) with sequential series media (Sage, Quinn's advantage) in large volume culture as well as micro drop culture. They found significantly higher day 5 blastocyst development rate in the G-TL group in both large and small volume culture.
The Department of Reproductive Medicine at Saint Mary´s Hospital is a large, public IVF clinic in Manchester, UK. The clinic has been using EmbryoScope time-lapse system since 2013 and seen the benefits with improved outcome. "As a National Health Service clinic, we felt we owed it to our patients to get the best results that we could get", says Helen Hunter, principal embryologist at the clinic.
Vitrolife is committed to improving pregnancy rates. This is why we provide an unbroken chain of quality products, securing the results in every step during the whole IVF-treatment. Only Vitrolife can guarantee every link in this chain. With equally devoted clinics we reach success. Together. All the way.

Female genital mutilation/ cutting is not an easy subject to talk about. After all, it involves the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia.
For this reason, many people do not know this practice exists, or that more than 125 million women and girls around the world live with its consequences today. For those who do know about FGM/C, far too many think the practice is here to stay.
That's not the story I've come to believe. Whether you care about global health, good governance, international development, or human rights, the many stories of FGM/C are ones we need to hear and share.
FGM/C is a story about global health. In many parts of the world, it is carried out by untrained practitioners, with no anesthesia, using blades or razors that aren't cleaned between uses. Afterward, girls are at risk of hemorrhaging, recurrent infections, complications in child birth, and even death. They may be at greater risk for HIV and AIDS. In countries where Ebola has devastated communities, the practice can increase the risk of contracting the disease. That's why, in places like Sierra Leone, our Embassy has worked with local health care providers to prevent the spread of Ebola and increase awareness of FGM/C as a potential point of transmission.
FGM/C is a story about justice. The practice has been outlawed in most countries where it occurs, and some countries, including Ghana and Kenya, have seen a dramatic reduction in prevalence rates. But it wasn't until this year that Egypt used its law to convict a doctor who performed FGM/C on 13-year-old Sohair al-Bata'a, who died from the procedure. The conviction came after human rights lawyers and NGOs fought hard for the government to pursue the case.
FGM/C is a story about social norms and cultural traditions. In so many communities where FGM/C is prevalent, it is part of a ceremony, a celebration of a girl's transition to womanhood. Cutters -- midwives, traditional healers, aunts and grandmothers -- perform the act out of love, as a way to prepare a girl for potential marriage or to protect her from becoming a social outcast. That's how we know that FGM/C won't end until communities collectively and publicly declare an end to the practice, a model that organizations like Tostan are pioneering.
FGM/C is a story about the U.S. government's commitment to women, girls, and international development. Thanks in part to a $1.5 million grant from my office, the U.S. Embassy in Guinea is working at all levels to end FGM/C. We're asking imams to speak out against the practice in their Friday sermons. We're collaborating with 26 non-governmental organizations at the village level to reach teachers, parents, girls, and even cutters. We've set up a hotline so girls can get advice or find a compassionate ear. And we're raising the voices of Guinean women who want to end FGM/C by making radio ads, TV spots, and billboards to end the silence and start telling all of these stories.
Some incredible survivors are doing just that. When she was a young girl, the rapper and musician Sister Fa underwent FGM/C in her home country of Senegal. Today she uses her music to spark a larger dialogue about the practice in places where it is still taboo to talk about it. Her hometown has been one of many in Senegal to abandon the practice of FGM/C. And Sister Fa herself will ensure the tradition of FGM/C ends with her: Her daughter will never undergo the practice.
This is the power of the stories of FGM/C. We need to make sure we're listening.
