Herman Green, in 1955, about twenty-three years old, just returned from overseas military duty, was on his way home to Memphis, Tennessee; when his plane stopped in San Francisco for an unknown amount of layover time and he decided to visit a bar near the airport for a drink.
A three piece combo began to play and Herman heard some of the same sounds that he had been playing in Memphis, but he also heard some new sounds, something that was not known in Memphis. He decided to stay a while and he got to know some of the musicians that played in the local clubs. They were as fascinated by his stories of Beale Street as he was by their stories of playing with artists like Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck.
In a short time, Herman found himself in the house band of the "Blackhawk", a famous San Francisco Jazz Club, that many believe helped to found the sound that would be known as West Coast Jazz. From 1955 to 1957, he played with artists such as Cannonball Adderly, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, the Modern Jazz Quartet and many others on a very long list. He was there when the experiments with Jazz were first starting and when Jazz become more than a few instruments improvising on "old standards".
In 1958, Herman became the leader of the House Band at a new place called, "Box City" in San Francisco. This was a late night club set up just for the musicians who played other places in town and then wanted a place to go and relax after they got off work. Box City did not even open until 1 AM in the morning. Herman had with him a young lady vocalist, then unknown, Dinah Washington. In Herman's own words, "I worked Box City, Say When, and the Jazz Workshop. These had to be the most amazing clubs I have ever played in. They were where you came after a night on the town or after you had been working. Frank Sinatra dropped in and sat in with the Band when he was in town, and this was many nights. It's where I got to know Sammy Davis, Jr. Many of what we would call the great artists of Jazz would come and sit in with the Band, for no pay, just for the fun, the company, and the relaxation. At the Jazz Workshop, we opened the place with Cannonball Adderly and it never went downhill from then."
In a place like Box City or the Jazz Workshop in San Francisco, you get to know a lot of people and this is where Herman was brought to the attention of Lionel Hampton, who was probably at that time the King of Jazz Music. Lionel offered Herman a job playing with his band and when Herman accepted he found himself in New York and playing with a band that he would stay with, on and off, for eight years. One of the other band members, who would become one of Herman's best friends, was John Coltrane. In Herman's own words, "New York was a blur in my memory for three years. It all happened so fast, it all was such a great time. We were musicians doing what we wanted to do and getting paid good money for it. I see today some of the concert listings for Jazz and the ticket is $50.00 to see just one of the top stars. I mean, we use to jam, for the fun of it, in my apartment in New York. There would be Miles Davis, Clark Terry, John Coltrane, Art Davis; all just sitting around my apartment playing what they wanted, how they wanted to play it, and all because we were having a good time." "I might add that everybody wanted to experiment, everybody wanted to try something new, but there was no one that had that innovation of music like John. Even today when I do a Sax break and I get way out in outer space; I still turn to the others in the band and say, 'Hey, I'm doing my John Coltrane thing'."
Like all Memphis Musicians, Herman thought from time to time about returning to Memphis, but the jobs were good and he was with Lionel Hampton, the most recognized name in Jazz Music. Herman said, "We were playing the Riviera in Las Vegas and Sammy Davis, Jr. was there. I was walking in the Lobby with him and I said, 'I'm worried, I invited my Mother out here to visit and I do not know what to show her, how to entertain her.' " Sammy said, "Why don't you let me worry about it. When she gets here bring her down to my concert. We'll think of something." When Herman's mother arrived he took her down to the show and right on the front row was a table reserved for Sammy Davis, Jr. and Herman Green. Herman's Mother got to watch the show sitting with Sammy Davis, Jr. except when it was Sammy's turn to be on stage, and when Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin dropped by to sit at the table awhile, Herman's mother never complained about being "entertained".
A few weeks later, Herman and some of the band members were having afternoon drinks in the lounge at the Riviera when the rumor began to circulate that the President had been shot in Dallas. All over America, things were never the same for most people and musicians were no different. Herman thought about what he was doing, what he wanted to do and where he had come from.
After taking care of all of his obligations to Lionel Hampton and the other musicians he had got to know, Herman was on his way back to Memphis.

|Coffee Roasting at Scribblers Coffee Company
Second only to the quality of the bean itself, the type of roast applied is the single most important factor affecting a bean's flavor. Roast styles vary by the degree of heat used and/or the length of time a coffee is held in the roaster. The longer the roast time and/or higher the temperature, the darker and more pungent the bean. As a roast approaches more intense temperatures, a coffee's body amplifies for a time, acidity diminishes, and varietal characteristics become subdued. A decreased roast time and/or temperature, on the other hand, yields beans lighter in color that retain their natural acidity and distinct varietal attributes.
Roast Style
Bean Characteristics
Light, Cinnamon, or Half-City Roast
Light brown color, a roast style used for milder coffees
Medium, American, or City Roast
Medium brown color, stronger flavor, full acidity, varietal characteristics are apparent; the roast style traditionally preferred in the U.S.
Medium-Dark or Full-City Roast
Rich brown color with some oil on bean surface, varietal qualities mellow, body and sweetness increase, acidity diminishes
Dark, Espresso, Italian, or French Roast
Very dark brown color with oily surface, acidity and varietal qualities fade, bittersweet notes dominate
Very Dark or Dark French Roast
Black color with oily surface, acidity is absent, varietal traits are muted, carbonized flavors dominate
Quality green beans entering the roaster represent the potential for impeccably crafted coffee. Whether the beans leave the roaster having lived up to their potential turns on the master roaster's ability to "read" the beans, based largely on small preliminary roasts conducted to "cup" the coffee at various roast stages. Informed by this process, a final decision is made regarding the roast style best suited to a particular bean. Years of roasting and cupping have enabled Scribblers® to develop the peak flavor profile for each of our coffees. Since coffee is an agricultural product affected by variations in growing conditions from one harvest to the next, the process of roasting and cupping is ongoing. Consistency from one roast to the next, or from one crop to the next, is the hallmark of superbly roasted coffee.
Small-batch artisan roasting is fundamental to our success at Scribblers Coffee Company. We roast in batches of no more than 25 pounds to give the world's finest coffees the full attention they deserve. Relying on the human hand rather than a computer, our master roasters carefully monitor the bean's appearance, sound, and smell during every roast to ensure that each coffee reaches its height of possibility. A soft, dry-processed Brazilian coffee, for example, requires a lighter roast to maximize flavor without harming its fragile bean structure. Some high-grown washed coffees do well at a range of roast styles because their hard beans are able to withstand higher temperatures, yet they display equally favorable flavor profiles at varying degrees of roast. Costa Rica Tarrazu is such a coffee. Still others exhibit celebrated characteristics at a precise point in the roast. Kenya AA, revered for its vibrant acidity and citrus notes, is one. If taken too far into a roast, the Kenyan's acidity suffers and its fruity notes deepen to pine.
Teasing out a coffee's finest attributes demands skill, knowledge, and years of experience since beans are in a continual state of flux during roasting. Their flavor distinctions undergo continual transformation as, second by second, a coffee's body and acidity rises and falls. It becomes a delicate balancing act to shape both acidity and body into a unified whole that complements rather than detracts from the flavor of the coffee. Identifying the most favorable point in the roast where body and acidity meet for optimum support to flavor is the apex that only experienced roasters can respond to as they dance on the edge, utilizing both art and science, to achieve an exceptional coffee. Clearly, this is not for the faint of heart. Our master roasters have a vested interest in the quality of every roast since the final product ultimately hinges on their intimate knowledge of the beans and capacity to render a perfect roast. Owing to the influences of bean variability and the dynamics of the roasting context itself, a perfect roast is a target too elusive for computer-driven roasting methods.
At Scribblers Coffee Company we employ a range of roast styles and small-batch artisan roasting techniques to ensure that the seeds of possibility our fine green arabica beans represent are translated daily into the skillfully crafted coffees our customers deserve.

Q: You have never held a political office before. Why should Republican voters choose you to represent them in a new district?
A: Having never held a political office is an advantage - I can handle issues/questions/challenges and give answers with a more open, honest approach, with no preconceived notions what-so-ever and put the "community first." I'd also like to point out that I'm looking to be a public servant, not a politician. There is truly a difference in the eyes of the community. My 18 year mix of experience in the corporate and local business world has prepared me very well for the role of a commissioner. The people need a new voice that'll listen to them and approach matters with honesty and energy. I humbly ask the citizens to vote for Levie Maddox as that new voice.
Q: Some people believe the Covington square should become more of an entertainment center with more restaurants and shopping options and fewer professional services. What are your thoughts on that? In either case, what can you do to advance the downtown sector?
A: Our community must have a vibrant downtown district and square as this charming, historical area is part of our identity. The county and the commissioners must support the city council, chamber of commerce and Main Street Covington in promoting businesses, events and art activities centered there to encourage a healthy, diverse destination. This destination should include a few more unique retailers and restaurants that help to draw people from all over, not just Newton County, on evenings and weekends. In addition to supporting the above, I pledge to conduct all matters in a respectful, civil manner so that business prospects appreciate the type of leaders represent the community.
Q: As a candidate, what do you believe is your greatest strength?
A: Trained through business experience, my ability to listen, understand and apply. We must listen to the community needs, for today and for the next generation. Understanding where we've been and where we want/need to go will help to put in a foundation today that brings prosperity for our children years from now. Applying energy toward our future path through smart economic development and controlled growth; while supporting public safety, our hospital and the school system are the keys to our future success. We have one shot at this, we cannot approach matters the way we did in the 90s when sprawl hit the western side of the county.
Q: Similarly, what is your greatest weakness and, if applicable, how do you plan to address it once in office?
A: I do not have an in-depth knowledge of how many of the county's departments work. I plan to rapidly advance that knowledge by meeting with each department manager and constitutional officer. This gives me a direct view of how their processes work and what the department needs are. It also begins a direct relationship with the department, so that I can be their voice as well. I have already met with more than six of these stakeholders and will continue that path.
Q: What is the most important thing you've heard or learned from the voters during your time on the campaign trail?
A: I've been reminded just how caring our community's people are. The people that I've met have been incredible. The citizens want someone to listen to their wants and needs and then apply honestly & common sense to the issues. I've truly had some of the best conversations of my life on the "campaign trail". I knocked on a door on Old Monticello Street three days ago. This gentleman spent 30 minutes showing my 2 kids magic tricks and just talking to us about life. I spent over 2 hours in the living room of a home down HWY 213 that I'd never seen prior to this couple opening their doors to me & my son. At another house, I sat on the back porch and appreciated the amazing view of their pasture while we talked about the county's path ahead and life in-general. Both of these homes are owned by couples who are life-long citizens and have been married an amazing 52 years. I talked to a local business owner in his office for over an hour and a half. I went in hoping to chat about politics. The conversation quickly evolved to the best chat I'd ever had about religion & life. The county if full of great, wonderful people from all walks with all types of different ideas on our future path. My desire is to continue listening to the people and to protect the communities' charm & character as it grows.

Ask a Vet and Get Your Veterinary Questions Answered.
Hello, I am Dr. Zoe, a licensed veterinarian here to help. I must start by saying this is a medical emergency and the fact she is now lethargy AND not eating means the absolute best for her is to take her to an emergency clinic today. These are signs that she is in critical condition.
Unfortunately, her signs (not eating and lethargy) are very non-specific and can indicate any one of a long list of possible issues. The absolute critical aspect is that she must start eating. I can certainly give you directions to start syringe feeding her at home and see if this helps.
Is there anything I can do at home. I may not be able to get it in until Monday.
Yes, you can try syringe feeding her, but recognize that she is at a critical point when even this may not work. I really want to be realistic. To syringe feed you need to purchase a syringe (I recommend the 6 cc) at any pharmacy (no needle on the syringe). Then you can get people baby food of the fruit/vegetable varieties and feed her as much as she will eat with a goal of 2 syringefuls every 4 to 6 hours until she is eating on her own. Please keep her food available and fresh veggies also available.
Should I try to syringe water as well since she doesn't seem to drinking.
You certainly can. It will not hurt. I cannot say that I expect her to take much.
She seems to be losing hair as well.
The hair loss may represent a skin infection (bacterial, fungal or mites). Rarely if a guinea pig gets terrible mite infection that also leads to a paw infection, this can get into the bone marrow and cause severe systemic infection/illness.
How is that transferred? She is in my daughter's room not outside.
BActeria/fungal come from the guinea pig primarily, except ringworm usually comes from some outside source...we can transmit to them and rarely a GP carries it from the pet store. For mites, usually the GP got it from the petstore or whatever source you had that got the little guy. I have had cases we think it came from the bedding. With regard to bedding, sometimes cedar or pine shavings can cause hair loss and they are not recommended; also can cause liver failure. What is good bedding is aspen shavings or paper bedding.
We fed it fresh vegetables for a couple of weeks rather than the guinea pig food from the store and transferred back to the store food in the last couple of weeks. It won't eat the store food. Does that have anything to do with it?
Maybe. Could be the original pelleted food had something wrong that the GP detected. But at least she was eating the fresh foods. It is also a possible coincidence that there was something else brewing because GPs first stop eating their hay and pellets and last stop eating the fresh foods.
Sorry, I have been having trouble with computer allowing me to reply. It also has a little bit of crusty eyes. Is a URI possible?
Are you there?
I'm sorry I lost my connection and then another expert locked onto the question for a bit but I am back...really sorry about that. The crusty eyes is just an indication of an ill GP and not a URI. In general with a GP this ill if it was respiratory there would be difficulty breathing (obvious).

Pleae help..... THANKS!!!!
Hey Vibhor,
We can have this command but it is not mandatory to have it for SSH access to the PIX.
This command is used to check enable credentials from radius.

Macrosomia describes an unusually large body size. It is often used to describe an oversized fetus.
The most common cause of macrosomia is diabetes in the mother. Macrosomia can lead to trauma during birth and a greater chance of a cesarean delivery.

First off will be submersible devices—"You can call them swimming machines," he said—deployed to survey the damage.
He spoke of the gun emplacement as being in a swamp and I have a strong idea that it is submersible.
A steel ladder ran down into the interior of the submersible.
One of the great problems of the submersible has been to master the difficulties of its control while maintaining a desired depth.
The submersible was sighted on July 1, 1915, by a French aeroplane.
The third method by which to frustrate the attack of the submersible is to give better protection to the merchant marine itself.
Most of the payments on the submersible had already been made.
The submersible was of good size, being over two hundred feet in length.
Then it would be difficult to see how the submersible could be dealt with.
The submersible must be driven below the surface by a superiority of gunfire on the part of the merchant marine and its patrols.

The number of tourists visiting and leaving Australia fell in March, the month in which crises in Libya and Japan pushed the value of the Australian dollar down sharply.
Inbound tourism fell 2 per cent during the month, compared with February, and outbound tourism fell 5 per cent (seasonally adjusted), according to government figures released yesterday.
The earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan meant the number of Australian tourists leaving for Japan was halved, falling to levels not recorded since 2004.
In the year ended March 31, Australian outbound travel grew by 4 per cent. Growth in inbound tourism was more muted, however, at 1.5 per cent.
Cheap airfares were important, he added. "If you're travelling to the UK, you basically pay the same today as you did 10 or 20 years ago."

As the opener of its 35th edition, the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal offers fans a concert by one of its most coveted artists of the moment: Woodkid. On Thursday, June 26 at 9:30 p.m., the French artist will take the TD Stage, setting the tone for an anniversary edition that promises to be dizzyingly brilliant!

NFL Draft > 2008 Prospects > RB > Louis Rankin
Louis Rankin Scouting Report
|Washington Huskies
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|5'11 - 211 lbs.
2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Louis Rankin, RB, Washington
Rankin burst onto the scene in 2007, rushing for 1,294 yards and six touchdowns with a 5.6 yard per carry average. Rankin was thought of as a total bust since arriving four years ago at the University of Washington until this season. Rankin is a stout runner at just under 6' and 211 pounds. He has been unofficially timed in the 40 at 4.55, according to ESPN.com. Rankin is a shifty runner that likes to put his shoulder down and run over defenders. He was a member of the second team All-Pac-10 team this year. He was troubled in 2007 with a minor hip pointer, but played relatively injury free throughout his career at Washington. Rankin has not done much as a receiver out of the backfield, finishing with 20 receptions for 126 yards and 2 touchdowns. Rankin does well in pass blocking situations and will likely make an immediate impact on special teams. Rankin is not likely to be drafted prior to the third or fourth round without eye-popping numbers at the combine.

Warm Stone Fruit Salad
The peaches and apricots in this sweet after-dinner treat are full of vitamins A and C.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Body+Soul, July/August 2008
- 1/4 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 1 star anise
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 sprig fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
- 4 ripe peaches, halved, pitted, each cut in 6 wedges
- 4 ripe apricots, halved, pitted, each cut into 4 wedges
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta
In a large skillet, combine the vanilla, star anise, sugar, thyme, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil and cook until syrupy, about 6 minutes.
Add fruit, reduce heat to medium, and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fruit is tender but not mushy, and the liquid is syrupy again. Shake the pan occasionally to prevent sticking, but don't stir, as this will break up the fruit. Remove and discard spices.
Spoon into bowls; top with ricotta.

Lomography Sunset Strip Test Shot2013-02-05 2 10 Share Tweet
This is a review about the new film Lomography X-pro Sunset Strip 100
As from my previous article about slide film, I have said that I'm afraid of using slide film due to being scared of overexposing it. But then, I braved myself to buy the Lomography x-pro Sunset Strip 100. I tested the film right away when it arrived. I do shots rated as iso 100 as my friend told me to shoot at the box speed. I'm using my FED 5 to test the film. Some shots I shot at iso 400 and 200. It is to differentiate the exposure. Most of the shots came out great and I didn't expect the results. Sunset strip have special yellowish layer on the centre of the film but not on the sprocket holes. Here are some of the great results:
Here are some test shot with different iso (sunny):
My findings, this film needs to be underexposed a bit for about 1 or a half stop. And for indoors, shoot as box speed so you won't get any miserable shots. haha
Here are some test shot in an open shade:
For indoor or open shade, the higher the ISO, the darker the tone of the images produced. Contrast will also slightly increase as you increase the ISO. You can see the difference between the lights on the floor decreasing as you increase the speed of the film.
My conclusion;
- Sunny day shot as ISO 200
- Indoor or open shade shot as box speed that is ISO 100
Overall, this film gave me forgivable shots for a slide film. I love the special layer that makes the photo look vintage and sometimes looks like a redscale film. Thanks to Lomography for producing this wonderful film.

Dr. Criscuolo first met Dr. Leahy in 1991 and was treated for a chronic shoulder problem. The success of that treatment, when many other treatment approaches had failed to resolve his problem, prompted Dr. Criscuolo to learn as much as he could about Dr. Leahys new treatment protocols. It was through Dr. Criscuolos urging that Dr. Leahy began to teach ART®, and he became one of the first instructors to assist in teaching Dr. Leahy. He has been teaching for Dr. Leahy since that time and is one of less than twenty instructors of ART® in the world.
Dr. Criscuolos approach to treatment is based on the principles that optimal joint function is dependent on normal soft tissue function and optimal soft tissue function is dependent on normal joint function. To separate these two and treat them independently would not be efficient or as successful. By incorporating the principles of chiropractic for joint and nerve function and ART® for soft tissue function, we now have a synergistic approach to treatment. Emphasis is also placed on rehabilitative exercises to increase strength and/or endurance in a particular area. Dr. Criscuolo prefers to use exercises that utilize low tech, low cost equipment so that patient compliance and follow through is easier.

Rachel Smith has wanted to go to dental school since her childhood dentist treated her "filleted" face after she fell onto a ledge while racing a friend at age 12.
''It's more than just filling cavities," the 24-year-old said, "it can be healing as well."
She was one of 20 people chosen from a pool of about 850 applicants for the inaugural class at the new School of Dentistry at the University of Utah, a group whose 3.8 GPA is the highest of any entering dental class in the country, administrators say. Earlier this month, she took her husband to a ceremony where she received her official white dentist's coat.
She also got something of a surprise.
"Everyone thought he was the dental student," she said.
And classmate Kathryn Cameron said people tried to dissuade her from the profession.
"A lot of people told me not to go for it," said Cameron, 25, "basically saying, 'Your role as a woman is to stay home with the kids.' "
When they finish their degrees, Cameron and Smith will join an unusually small group. Less than 3 percent of the state's dentists are women, according to a 2009 American Dental Association report, making Utah the state with the country's lowest percentage of female practitioners.
It isn't the only gender differential in Utah. Women here lag further behind men than the national average in science, technology, engineering and math fields, collectively known as STEM, according to the Utah Women and Education Initiative.
But while the 21 percent of doctors who are women is nearly equivalent to the rest of the country, a 2012 state report found the number of female dentists is puzzlingly low.
"I don't really have a good idea why, exactly," said Utah State Dental Director Kim Michelson.
Dentistry is a popular profession in Utah: The state has the 19th-highest number of dentists per capita in the country, according to the ADA, and about 2,000 hopefuls applied for 80 seats when the private nonprofit Roseman University opened a dental school two years ago.
The profession, however, is also less racially and ethnically diverse than the state. For example, a 2006 state report found that while Latino residents made up about 11 percent of Utah's population, they were less than 1 percent of the state's dentists.
But with a national average income of more than $192,000 a year for an independent practitioner and almost $306,000 for a specialist, according to the ADA, the field can offer a healthy paycheck as well as a chance to give back.
"A lot of young dentists want to serve their communities," said Michelson. "And it's just an attractive career choice."
They may not be in the dentist's chair, but there are women in Utah treating teeth. "Almost all the dental assistants in Utah are women," he said.
Dental assistants, who often act as a second pair of hands for dentists working on patients, don't need a lengthy education or professional license in Utah, but still make a national average of $18 an hour, the ADA reports. There also are more women among the ranks of dental hygienists, who earn a degree and can perform cleanings and examine gums.
Becoming a dentist, meanwhile, requires four years of dental school and more to become a specialist. That's what periodontist LaRisse Skene did.
"I think it's just a long road. That's probably the most intimidating thing about it," she said.
And after school, most dentists start their own practices, which requires an upfront investment of up to $500,000 in X-ray machines, drills, chairs and other equipment, another potential hurdle.
But her training has given Skene a career with the flexibility to take time off with her now-3-month-old daughter and the chance to fulfill her passions for art and working with her hands.
"Honestly, it's so great for being a mom," she said. "I can work four days a week and I'm still able to provide for our family ... and not feel like I'm punching the clock."
Young girls, though, might not see the artistry of what Skene does in dental work, and educators could do more to get them interested in the profession, said Lea Erickson, director of public health and professional practice at Roseman.
"The key is really starting the pipeline early," said Erickson, an associate professor who encountered her own detractors in dental school in Maryland in the 1970s. "We don't go in and talk to people in high school about it."
The new dean of the U.'s dental school is one of the country's few women in the position.
Rena D'Souza has been recognized for her work with tooth stem cells that could someday end the need for root canals by re-growing the living tissue known as tooth pulp.
"We are going to work and strive to increase those [female dentist] numbers," D'Souza said at the groundbreaking for the school's new $36.4 million building.
There are some signs of growth. More young Utah dentists are women, though the 4.6 percent of those who began practicing in the past 10 years is still far lower than the national average.
The four women in the school's inaugural class make up about 20 percent of the total higher than previous classes at the U.'s Regional Dental Education Program the new school is replacing and about equal to the portion of working female dentists in the rest of the country. Classmate David Clark, 27, said he's happy to have them.
"I was excited to see so many female students in the class," he said. "I think they'll bring a new perspective to dentistry. ... It's good for everyone to have more diversity."

AMSTERDAM, March 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ --
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130325/CG82394 )
When you look into the mirror, then what do you see?
You, and really only you, ultimately determine what is beautyful or is not.
Beauty is your exclusive perception, your objective quality is your power, self-confidence and pride.
Be Proud of who you are, Take Care of your exclusivity.
This philosophy was our point of departure and main driver to develop new skin care products
to meet the desire of strong, proud women with self-confidence.
We are JULVÀL international. A new brand, founded and established in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
We have asked ourselves some questions and set ourselves a goal. How is it possible that media reports show that a substantial number of women remain dissatisfied about their appearance and about the so-called innovative anti aging products and new ingredients?
Are these products in the long term not so effective as it seems? And if these products are really so effective, why is there no money back guarantee? Acceptance, perception and expectations of the consumers is one reason, but mainly this is due to a lack of long term efficacy. A lot of products are mainly masking and smoothing the skin by pasting. These are only instant and short term effects.
Our goal was to meet the desire of strong, proud women with self-confidence with pure, high class
products focused on rejuvenate, resilience, recover, refurbish, remove and restore.
Commitment to reach this goal has resulted in the realization of products that are of supreme quality and highly effective thanks to the excellent and balanced ingredients in an ultimate composition and dosage.
The new skin care products we developed, provides each exclusive beauty the best care and
protection she deserves.
In the short-term, but more important, also in the long-term in a constantly improving, structural and
stable manner.
JULVÀL international products are safe, not toxic, not tested on animals and paraben free.
We truly live up to our promise.
We are proud that we have reached this goal. We are also proud that we are transparent and honest and that we have the power and self-confidence to say that caring and protection of facial skin with our products is constant. Constantly improving and renewal of facial skin with our products is excellent, however limited. Our products are highly effective but the rate or limitation of improvement depends on ones internal and external factors or baseline, such as smoking, excessive use of alcohol, lack of sleep, genetic factors or age.
We are only satisfied when our customers are completely satisfied. Therefore we give an unconditional money back guarantee after 40 days of usage. For our online purchases we charge no shipping or handling costs. Payment on invoice within 14 days with a right of withdrawal within 7 days. Look, feel, judge before you pay.
JULVÀL international stand for quality, transparancy, exclusiveness and high class. For that reason we are careful in selecting our partners. We only want tot collaborate with partners that maintain the same high standards, with the same high service and integrity level. We truly believe that power, self-confidence and pride is an objective quality.
Therefore JULVÀL international has also established a JULVÀL international foundation. Our foundation's primary goal is to give financial support to programs, key organizations or small initiatives aimed at empowerment in order to motivate people to life to the fullest.
Be Proud Take Care,
JULVÀL international

What do Bollywood actors do when they are not tied up with many assignments at one time? Well, they usually do some other things that can ultimately bring them some kind of limelight like visiting weddings and parties which can bring them up on the Page 3 cover or create some sensational story or gossip that can make them the focus of the town. However, Jiah Khan has decided to do something different and still gather some hot news. This time she is being shooting for PETA ad which talks about banning the zoos.
Crouched inside the cage Jiah looks perfect in the leopard print bodysuit and her makeup makes her feel like wild female leopard that is ready to pounce on the people who don't know how to respect the wild animals. The ad reads – Wild Animals Belong in the Wild. Boycott Zoos. PETA has recently come up with the idea that wild animals should not be kept in the zoos caged inside an iron cage because animals suffer a lot when they are kept in confinement. They have been working on this recently and therefore they decided to shoot a nice picture for it. Finally, they decided to go for Jiah Khan that would suit the advertisement.
The ad was shot in London by ace photographer Karl Grant who also believes that the true potential of the animal is lost when they are kept under certain strict environment. Hence, wild animals should always be set free so that they can live in their natural environment. Talking about the advertisement Jiah said that animals are given no choice and therefore she feel responsible for bringing something better to the life of the animals. She added that freedom applies to all and therefore wild animals too have the right to freedom. This is the second time that Jiah Khan is posing for the PETA ad.

In terms of kinetic theory explain why tyre should not be over inflated
A tyre should not be over- inflated because the air or gas which is being pumped into it will result into a high pressure within the rubber. As a result of this the high pressure in the tyre will become stretched and eventually cracks the side of the tyre. If the pressure is increased the tyre might eventually burst.
A tyre shouldn't be over-inflated because,the inflation of a tyre results in the increase in air molecules or gas molecules.this thereby result to an increase in coliision of the molecules and also pressure in the tyre tube.the pressure increase will eventually lead to the tyre getting burst when stretched.
A tyre shouldn't be over inflated because from the kinetic theory of gases,we'll observe that the cohesions of the gas molecules are partially elastic and too much of gas inflated could lead to too much pressure on the body surface which could in turn burst or tear.
Why a tyre should'nt be over-inflated is that when the air has been pumped in,thd molecules will start to increase in size,thereby hiting the walls of its container,with these actions the tyre get bursted.
why a tyre shouldn't be inflated because the inflation of tyre cause increase in air molecules,so the tyre will increase in collision of the air molecules and the pressure increase will make the to burst when over strectched.
A tyre should not be overinflated is that when air is pumped into the tyre molecules,it will start getting bigger in size there by affecting the walls of its container,and with this,the tyre will get bursted.
A tyre should not be over inflated because the air which is being pumped in it will result into a high pressure with the tyre and the tyre may burst or tear.
A tyre should not be over-inflated according to the kinetic theory because the collision of the gas molecules are perfectly elastic. Hence when the pressure of the air or gas being inflated into the tyre is extremely great or high that the volume of the tyre tube can no longer contain, it enlarges to a certain point when it tears or bursts.

It's great to be here at the University of Michigan.
I wish I could have come here sooner - but as many of you know - I didn't have the smoothest confirmation process. There were times I felt like I was in hostile territory; I wasn't sure I'd make it through - even though I knew I was up to the task. But in the end, my team prevailed, and here I am today. So, I guess you could say my confirmation process was a lot like the Michigan / UConn game last week. But you, too, came out on top!
As an avid Boston sports fan - I can appreciate the school spirit here. I just had an exciting conversation with some of your fellow students. I learned all about the amazing "PlanetBlue" sustainability initiatives here on campus. Equally amazing was the enthusiasm for action - never lose sight of that.
Before I speak to the theme of this conference, I want to make mention of a conference held here some years ago. A conference that helped extend the University of Michigan's environmental legacy well beyond this campus.
It was two Wolverine professors - Bunyan Bryant and Paul Mohai - who literally wrote the book on Environmental Justice. Back in 1990, they organized a conference titled - "Race and the Incidence of Environmental Hazards". The conference - the first of its kind - spurred the creation of the "Michigan Coalition" - a group that advocated principles of Environmental Justice across the country. It was those advocacy efforts that inspired the formation of EPA's Office of Environmental Justice.
Today, the University of Michigan continues to lead in scholarship and teaching on EJ issues. In fact, you have the nation's only Environmental Justice PhD program. The EPA - and all communities especially vulnerable to environmental harms - will always be thankful for your leadership.
Today's conference may not be the first of its kind - but your conversations over the next two days couldn't be more important. The focus of this conference is "the relationship between environmental protection and public health."
I've worked for over two decades on issues that exist within the broad confines of that "relationship'. Some of you may know that I started my career as a public health professional. Early on, I was a health agent in the town of Canton, Massachusetts - and later worked for the Stoughton Board of Health. The thing is, the word 'relationship' is too neutral. The link between the health of our planet and the health of our families is inextricable. The quality of our environment dictates the quality of our well-being, and our lives.
That's why - since the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency more than 40 years ago - our mission has been to protect public health and the environment.
We have a lot of important issues to tackle - from protecting water to taking on toxics and chemical safety. But a top priority for us - and for President Obama - is taking on climate change. Make no mistake about it - climate change is one of the most significant public health threats of our time.
The overwhelming judgment of science tells us that climate change is real, human activities are fueling that change, and we must act now to avoid its most devastating consequences.
That's why a few months ago - speaking to students like you - President Obama unveiled his Climate Action Plan. A plan to protect the health of our families and future generations - by taking responsible steps to cut the carbon pollution that fuels climate change. A plan to prepare communities for the climate impacts we're suffering today; and to establish U.S. leadership abroad in our global climate fight.
As part of that plan, the President directed the EPA to complete carbon pollution standards for new and existing power plants. I don't have to remind the scholars in the room - but our directive is rooted in legal authority granted by congress through the Clean Air Act. In 2007, the Supreme Court underscored that authority when it determined that carbon pollution is, quote: "unambiguously" covered by the Clean Air Act. Carbon pollution and climate change - without question - endanger public health and welfare. Not just today, but for generations to come.
And power plants are the single largest sources of carbon pollution in the United States. Each year, they account for about 40 percent of the nation's carbon pollution. To put that in context, power plants emit more carbon pollution than every boat, plane, train, and car in the U.S. combined.
That's not safe and it's not fair. We limit other forms of pollution, like mercury and arsenic - why should carbon polluters get a free pass? In fact - it's our job to do something about it. Ensuring clean air, clean water, and livable land for all is our promise to the American people. And last week - we took a step forward in making good on that promise. Following the President's directive - and our legal obligation - we proposed standards to limit carbon pollution from new power plants.
Let me take a moment to explain why our action is so vital to protecting public health.
Climate change is about water. It's about ensuring clean drinking water. It's about storm surges and floods that overwhelm stormwater systems - letting pollution attack sensitive regions; spoiling our nation's iconic ecosystems. That's something to be especially concerned about here in the "Great Lakes State." Troves of research - including from right here at the University of Michigan - shows how a changing climate threatens great lakes fish and wildlife. Let's not forget the economic harms that accompany lost tourism and recreation. Protecting precious resources like the Great Lakes gives a whole new meaning to "Go Blue."
Climate change is also about extreme weather. It's about record droughts that drive up food prices and rampant wildfires that burn down towns, destroying property and polluting the air. It's about extreme storms laying waste to our mightiest cities. And we are paying the price - in 2012 alone, the cost of weather disasters exceeded $110 billion in the United States, the second costliest year on record.
And, of course, climate change is about clean, healthy air for us to breathe. Carbon pollution and hotter weather can worsen levels of pollen and smog. Leading to longer allergy seasons, increased heat-related deaths, and direct threats to those who suffer from lung and heart illnesses. And it's not just adults and the elderly that suffer from air pollution, so do children - especially children in lower income families and communities of color. Did you know that today, one in ten children in the United States live with asthma? That's right, one in ten. The urgency to act on climate change couldn't be more clear.
But I know that here at the University of Michigan, you get it. You're beyond recognizing - you're taking action. Leading the way as Michigan knows how. "PlanetBlue" is just the tip of the iceberg. After all - you live in a state and a city that have Climate Action Plans of their own.
Let me just say how important it is that our work in Washington be informed by your work - here at the ground level - where real change happens. Back in 2003 - it was a handful of Wolverine masters students that provided the city of Ann Arbor with its first Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Strategy.
In part informed by that strategy - a landfill methane capture project here in city has been reducing pollution and saving money. For a period of 7 years, that project reduced the yearly carbon pollution equivalent of about 8,000 passenger vehicles - all while selling two and a half million dollars of electricity back to Detroit Edison. Cities - and campuses - like yours are incubators for innovation. Our country's progress depends on the progress made here in your classrooms and in your city halls.
Although our climate challenge is steep - decades of Clean Air Act history prove we can protect public health and grow a strong economy. We've already set reasonable limits for toxic pollutants like mercury, lead, and arsenic from power plants - which among other things - will prevent as many as 130,000 cases of childhood asthma symptoms each year. That's more annual cases than seats in The Big House.
Since 1970, every dollar invested to comply with Clean Air Act standards has returned $4 to $8 in economic benefits. And by 2020, benefits from the Clean Air Act will outweigh the costs 30 to 1. We've also established historic fuel economy standards for cars and trucks - saving families money and saving the planet.
Today, American consumers save about $8,000 dollars at the pump over the life of their vehicle. And we're on track to cut carbon pollution from passenger vehicles in half by 2025. Most importantly - far from collapsing as the cynics predicted - the auto industry back on its feet. Since it was rescued in 2009, the industry has added more than 300,000 jobs. Here in the state of Michigan - home of The Motor City - no one has felt that more. The auto industry's comeback from the brink of collapse has kept businesses alive and families fed.
The urgency and enormity of our climate challenge demands we take responsible action. That's what our proposed carbon pollution standards for new power plants represent. They'll minimize carbon pollution by taking advantage of modern, cleaner energy technologies to build the next generation of power plants. The standards are flexible and achievable. They set different limits for different types of natural gas and coal plants - and they're based on the performance of efficient, clean, home grown technologies. We're also committed to proposing standards for existing power plants. However - that process has a longer timeline. And we plan to release those proposed standards by June of 2014. In the mean time - we've begun speaking to industry, NGOs, businesses, and academics and students like you - to make sure folks who want to weigh in have the opportunity to do so.
It's no coincidence the President chose to unveil his Climate Action Plan to an audience much like this one. Acting on climate change is about fulfilling an obligation to safeguard the health and welfare of future generations - of your generation - and beyond. That's what's at stake.
We can't solve climate change overnight, but with an adherence to the law, an open process, and good science - we can take commonsense steps toward a solution. Although the road may be long, what keeps me going is my faith in all of you.
A faith that you'll challenge ideas and push the envelope - improving and inventing tomorrow's low carbon energy solutions.
A faith that you'll engage fellow students, friends and family, and government leaders at all levels - because you know the integrity of our democracy demands it.
A faith that you'll be the key that unlocks that uniquely American spirit of innovation and ingenuity. The same spirit that has made the Michigan Solar Car Team world renowned for their success. A spirit that will drive forward a sustainable, world-leading, clean energy economy for the United States.
Our goals of protecting our environment and public health are not distinct - they're joined at the hip. The future vitality of our lives and our economy depends on clean air, clean water, and a stable climate. And make no mistake about it - the power to shape that future is in your hands.
Thank you very much.

Anne Henrietta Martin (1875-1951)
Anne Henrietta Martin believed women should have equal access to all levels of political participation. As an organizer of the vote in Nevada in 1914, she struggled to give women a political voice independent of men. Martin continued this desire in her bids for Senator in 1918 and 1920 and in her peace work following World War I.Martin was an academic and athlete before discovering her interest in suffrage in 1909 while studying in London. Returning from her experiences with British suffrage, she organized Nevada and then worked for the National Woman's Party in many positions. She ran for Senate as an independent to escape the male dominated political parties. Although she had two unsuccessful bids for Congress, she pioneered an active political role for women and an opportunity for women to use their votes and their political skills in their own interests. In the 1920s she switched her focus to the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) while continuing her emphasis on women's ability to develop their own political voice. Martin lived by her belief that "equality for women is a passion for me."

The Oryx, or gemsbok, is a middle-sized species, dwelling in the same neighbourhood with the gnus.
That, with what remained of the gemsbok, would secure them against falling short of provision, should game prove scarce.
Another very fine antelope is the gemsbok, which is found in the more desert regions of Southwestern Africa.
But naturalists now apply the name "oryx" to the gemsbok or Cape oryx, (Oryx Capensis).
The gemsbok is of about the same size as the kudu, and is gray in color above and white below.
When they arrived at the site, crewmen from the gemsbok saw fit to take Voorhis in charge and carry him into their hut.
Even in this very hour of high art, our painters do not give the most correct delineation of the head of a gemsbok.
Swinton was anxious to possess one or two more specimens of the oryx, or gemsbok.
The gemsbok, with his lengthy taper horns, has long been confined to the remote parts of the Kalahari.
He clutched the arm of the gemsbok operator, who was being urged away by Igrillik and a group of warrior escorts.

He is very detailed in his work, and always goes above and beyond to help find an answer to a question. The level of care that he gives is amazing, and always makes you feel like you are his #1 patient. I feel very blessed, that we have found a doctor that we trust whole-heartedly. He is a wonderful doctor!
Very skilled,good bedside manner,answers questions,a friend who is a nurse at the hospital said he is one of the best Gyn surgeons around.
I find Dr. Naylor to be very knowledgeable (keeps up to date with all the latest information and is well practiced), very patient (great listener), and very diligent. He has never failed to answer all my questions, and even asks me if I had any concerns regarding related issues. He has delivered all three of my children and continues to be my primary OB Physician. I highly recommend him (and have done so to many of my friends - not one has ever been disappointed). Excellent physician!
The worst bedside manner I've ever experienced. No warning when the speculum was inserted. Failed to answer my questions and my husband's questions. Treated us as if we wouldn't be able to understand (we're both college grads and I have a professional degree). It made me wonder if he even understood the test he was recommending--we asked him three times what the testing he was recommending could or couldn't show. I do not recommend Dr. Naylor unless you prefer a robotic and pompous doc.

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:07pm
Division III is just easing into regular season play and it's looking like another good year for the nation's largest division. As usual, there will be plenty of individual talent dispersed around the division and we wanted to highlight some players to watch in the early going.
This list will evolve through the season and these selections are based off a combination of last year's performances meshed with realistic expectations for the upcoming season. As the season progresses, the focus will be on the current year's production and not on past seasons.
It's not an easy feat to become the DIII Player of the Year, these players have already proven they should be in the conversation, but it takes a combination of fortune, team and individual talent to capture the division's top honors. Kylor Berkman showed it could be won by an underclassman when he won it as a sophomore, and it's also been awarded to every position, so it's really anyone's race in 2010. There will be an on-going DIII Player of the Year Watch-List featured on InsideLacrosse.com, so check back often.
Salisbury Sea Gulls
Bradman will have to best line-mate Mike Von Kemecke just to be the best midfielder on his team, but he has unlimited potential, even as a sophomore. Bradman has the athleticism to create shots anywhere on the field. Two-time Player of the Year Kylor Berkman is gone and Bradman is the best equipped to make up for the graduated production. He'll have to improve on his freshman campaign, but he showed why Coach Berkman thinks Bradman could be among the best midfielders he's ever recruited.
Stevens Tech Ducks
Decker has proven himself to be a valuable last line of defense. He's a goaltender that gets hot with ease and keeps his team in games. He's already off and running, posting 25 saves in a one goal victory over Muhlenberg in his team's 2010 opener. Decker has the disadvantage of playing on a team that is currently not ranked in the top twenty, but he plays on an island and if he can push Stevens Tech into the NCAA tournament, it only solidifies his name as a possible Player of the Year.
Cortland Red Dragons
Deluca is the most versatile player on the list. He's a throw back midfielder in an age of intense specilization, he's one of the best face-off men in DIII on top of being a threat on offense, defense and in-between the lines. Tough to argue that any player does more for a top-ranked team. The junior midfielder will have a step up into a bigger role on the offense and if he can increase his offensive production, he may run away with this award.
Stevenson Mustangs
The Stevenson defense is one of the more underrated units in the country, especially with regard to units on top ten teams. The Stevenson defense buckled down during sporadic offensive droughts that put the game in their hands. Douglas returns for his junior year as the team's top shut-down defender after guarding opponents' top attackmen a year ago. The Mustang offense may dictate how much Douglas is needed to win games, but if and when they do, he's a solid defenseman to rely on through tight games.
Cabrini Cavaliers
Grugan has been the offensive focus at Cabrini since he arrived on campus. The senior attackman is a proven gamer that's notched a point in over 50 straight games. His stats often take criticism because of a soft conference schedule, but he can score against anybody. In 2009, in three games against the Centennial and ODAC each, he scored 14 and 13 points respectively. Grugan is capable of carrying Cabrini deep into the tournament.
Tufts Jumbos
Hessler led the NESCAC in points as a sophomore and helped Tuft's into the NESCAC championship game. The Jumbo's return much of that successful '09 roster and Hessler will have to play with higher expectations for himself and his team. He can shoot or feed with either hand and is quick off the dodge, but Tuft's will have to be contention for his name to come up in this discussion. The junior attackman would also benefit from a higher profile OCC schedule, so he'll have show-up for conference play.
Kazimer is the favorite heading into the season; he's a versatile attackman that headlines the most touted attack unit the country. Kazimer is strong dodger that can score or feed under pressure and is a potent threat with the ball. Stevenson will need a big year out of their senior captain to make-up for a depleted midfield, but there will plenty of talent on the field for Kazimer to reach his potential as the best in Division III.
Western New England Golden Bears
WNEC relies on Knowlton to keep scoring low to pull out tough games. He led the WNEC defense to a No. 3 ranking (GAA) and is primed to do it again this season. The Cortland (2/27) and Stevenson (3/7) offenses will be an early test for the 2nd team pre-season All American; he was able to limit the Red Dragons to 6 goals in his final game of the '09 season; if he can pick up where he left off, he could lead WNEC to the first upset of the regular season.
Roanoke Maroons
It won't be easy for Sam Love to win Player of the Year on an offensive Roanoke team, but the senior takeaway man has proven himself to be a weapon. He'll draw important match-ups against Casey Grugan and Steven Kazimer to showcase himself as a potential candidate, but it'll be more important for him to shore-up a spotty Maroon defense to keep his team in the hunt for conference and national titles.
Gettysburg Bullets
McGrath is the least decorated player on this list and has the most to prove, but he's shown flashes of brilliance throughout his first three seasons. If he can string together a complete season, he's capable of scoring well over 40 goals in the midfield; last season, he scored 19 of his 31 goals in May. He's a truly dominate player when he turns it on. Gettysburg will need McGrath to create match-up problems and occupy the long-stick.

One of our (Carey and I) resolutions as friends is to travel more of Japan and, if life permits, abroad. We started this promise by visiting Kamakura, which is not that really far from Tokyo (so you can say that this doesn't count but for us, it does). It's been ages since the last time I visited this place, maybe when I was still 10. So the place gave me a little piece of nostalgia of my childhood.
Kamakura became the seat of the Japanese military government for a hundred years during the Kamakura period and lost the position when Kyoto's Muromachi government overthrew the Kamakura shogunate in 1333. Though this was the case, the city remained to be the center of politics and power in Eastern Japan until it lost to other cities. Kamakura, though a small coastal town, boasts in richness in history and tradition. There are a lot of temples, shrines and old Japanese establishments in the area, even rickshaws which are pulled by men themselves. Thus, everyone referred to it as the Kyoto of Eastern Japan (click HERE for related article). Though different in religion, I said a little prayer in the Hachimangu Shrine.
But what really amazed me, aside from seeing the famous Amida Buddha, was witnessing a traditional Japanese wedding for the first time at the Hachimangu Shrine. The groom and the bride were wearing traditional wedding kimonos, the presence of a shinto priest and temple people and a small orchestra of three people playing traditional Japanese music for the wedding's musical score. I haven't attended anything as Japanese as that before so it was a pleasure seeing it for the first time even if I was only a spectator.

"And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD." (2 Kings 19:15a)
Hezekiah had good reason to pray! Hezekiah was the King of Judah. Maybe you've heard of Judah: it was a small nation, the only two tribes left over from the Twelve Tribes of Israel. And Hezekiah, King of Judah, had a problem: he was an enemy of the pagan king of Assyria, Sennacherib (pronounced sen-AK-er-rib). Assyria back then was a little like America is today: the strongest nation on earth. And the nation of Judah was like one of those tiny countries you see on a map so small that nobody remembers the name of. In other words, King Hezekiah was no match for King Sennacherib.
Because Hezekiah and Sennacherib were enemies, Sennacherib brought his forces down to do battle against Hezekiah and the Kingdom of Judah. Sennacherib fought hard, and his armies defeated a lot of Judean towns. Hezekiah became frightened. So instead of relying on God, he sent money some of it was God's money to Sennacherib, trying to buy him off!
Well, Sennacherib didn't just want money. He wanted to humiliate Hezekiah in the capital city, Jerusalem. So Sennacherib sent messenger boys to Hezekiah, announcing that Sennacherib would defeat God's people if they resisted him.
What could Hezekiah do? He'd already sent money to Sennacherib, but Sennacherib wasn't satisfied. Hezekiah was so upset that he tore his clothes and went to the temple of the Lord. Instead of sending more money to the wicked king Sennacherib, Hezekiah sent word to Isaiah, the prophet of God, asking what to do. Isaiah sent back word not to worry, since God would take care of Hezekiah's problem with Sennacherib.
When Sennacherib heard what Isaiah had said, he sent a letter to Hezekiah, repeating his threats. Hezekiah grew very upset again. This time, he didn't send money to the wicked king, and he didn't even call on God's prophet. Instead, he spread out the letter on the ground and prayed to God.
After Hezekiah had pled with God for help, God sent word by the prophet Isaiah saying that God had heard Hezekiah's prayer. In Isaiah 37:21, God says that because Hezekiah had prayed, He would rise up against Sennacherib and defeat him. Soon afterwards, God miraculously killed 125,000 of Sennacherib's troops, and Sennacherib returned home to Assyria without ever fighting against Hezekiah. Eventually, two of Sennacherib's sons assassinated him while he prayed to his false god.
You've probably noticed that the story of Hezekiah and Sennacherib is complicated. You can read the whole thing in 2 Kings 18-19 and Isaiah 36-37. Each version of the story gives details that the other one doesn't mention. When Isaiah tells the story, he makes the point that this devotional is making: it wasn't until Hezekiah himself prayed to God that God defeated Sennacherib.
Was it bad for Hezekiah to ask advice from God's prophet, Isaiah? Of course not! And when Hezekiah asked advice, God promised to help. But it wasn't until Hezekiah himself prayed that God actually struck down Sennacherib's army. God had planned to fight against Sennacherib, but He waited to do it until after Hezekiah asked Him to do it. God wants His people to bring their concerns to Him and to rely on Him to do His will.
When you face difficult circumstances, it's not good to try working things out on your own, as Hezekiah did when he paid money to Sennacherib. It is good to ask advice from older, more mature Christians like your teachers, parents, and pastors. But that's not enough! You should ask God for help. God wants to hear your prayers, and He wants to show His power in response to your prayers.
God powerfully responds to the prayers of His people.
My Response:» When I face difficulties, do I try working things out on my own? Or do I pray for God's direction and help so that I'll know how to respond?
"Pray often; for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan."
John Bunyan was born in England on November 30, 1628. He was sixteen years old when England was going through a civil war in 1644. He became a soldier. One particular afternoon, young Bunyan was suddenly called away from his post. A fellow soldier took his place and was killed shortly thereafter. He would likely have died as a teenager if this soldier hadn't traded places with him that day, and there was no doubt in his mind that God had something important planned for his life.
Like his working-class family before him, Bunyan grew up learning the trade of a tinker, or a brazier – someone who mends pots and kettles. When Bunyan got married in his early twenties, he and his wife were very poor (she had been an orphan). All they owned were a couple of Christian books which her father had left her before his death. They both treasured and read the books often. Bunyan, especially, was influenced by what he read. He was realizing that his current lifestyle and choices were wrong.
Eventually, because of this conviction over sin, he trusted Jesus Christ to be the Savior and Lord of his whole life. With the changes in his new lifestyle came also the desires to preach and to share the Gospel. God's grace had made such a difference in his life!
John Bunyan became a preacher at a time in England's history when preaching outside of the state church's approval was considered a crime. The leaders of the day believed that rightly-preached doctrine would start a rebellion. Bunyan kept preaching, anyway. He felt compelled to share the Gospel of grace.
He was convicted of preaching against the law and was sent to prison for twelve long years. This was a painful time of constant separation from his wife and children, and they remained impoverished, since there was not very much Bunyan could do from his prison cell to bring in money.
He did do a lot of thinking and writing while he was in prison. It was during this time in prison that he wrote Pilgrim's Progress – the greatest Christian allegory ever written. An "allegory" is simply a story told with word pictures. Missionaries everywhere still translate Pilgrim's Progress into the language of their people to share this story with those they wish to win.
Do you think it was difficult for John Bunyan to know his family was suffering in his absence? Do you think he wondered sometimes whether God was really taking care of them, or whether he had made a mistake? Have you ever read Pilgrim's Progress and learned a little more about how to understand the Gospel through its allegorical stories? Do you believe that God can use the difficult circumstances in your life for His greatest glory and for your greatest good?
Romans 8:28 – And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
The Lord My Rock - Jehovah Sel'i
Psalm 18:2 "The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. "
Sin is any action, words, or thought that breaks God's law by either doing or being what God forbids or by not doing or being what God requires. 1 John 3:4 -- Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
The term "born again" was first used by Jesus as he spoke to "Nicodemus", a ruler of the Jews. Jesus was explaining that in order to enter into the kingdom of God (heaven), that we have two births. One birth is a physical birth, which is of water. The second birth is a spiritual birth which is of the Spirit. The spiritual birth comes when one accepts Jesus as his Lord and Saviour and is adopted into the family of God. (John 3:5-7) "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
