Can God supernaturally heal the sick? Americans reveal where they stand
Posted October 6, 2016
When most people get sick, they go to the doctor and seek medical attention to find healing. But it seems the majority of Americans also make a deeper spiritual — and supernatural — appeal in seeking remedies to various health woes.
In fact, the majority of the U.S. public — 66 percent — believe God can supernaturally heal physical ailments, though 34 percent are skeptical that such a dynamic is possible, according to a new Barna Group survey.
Among the 66 percent who do believe supernatural healing is possible, 33 percent agree strongly and 33 percent agree somewhat with the notion.
While a variety of factors such as age, education and ethnicity affected the intensity and range of this belief, some of the most striking findings came along with differences in people's faith worldview.
Among practicing Christians, 61 percent agree strongly that it is possible for God to physically heal the sick, with a striking 87 percent of evangelicals strongly agreeing with this sentiment. This distinguishes evangelicals as the most likely of any group to hold that viewpoint, according to the Barna Group.
Then, there's the divide between Protestants and Catholics.
"Protestants (55 percent) are almost three times more likely to believe people can be physically healed supernaturally by God than Catholics (19 percent)," the report reads. "This is one of the more significant divides between these two groups that we've seen historically in Barna's data."
Additionally, respondents who belonged to other faiths, including Islam and Judaism, were much less likely to believe that supernatural healing is possible, with only 21 percent embracing the phenomenon.
But belief in the possibility of supernatural healing is one thing; action is another. And it seems those who believe God can miraculously heal are also more than willing to pray for such healing. The majority of Americans — 68 percent — have prayed for God to supernaturally heal someone in their lives.
One again, evangelicals stand out, with 95 percent praying for healing, compared with 86 percent of practicing Christians more broadly; only 46 percent of people of other faiths have prayed the same way.
So, now that we've explored belief in the existence of supernatural healing and the willingness to pray for such a phenomenon, let's take a look at the percentage of people who told Barna they have experienced a miraculous healing.
Overall, the survey found that 27 percent of people reported having a physical healing they believed was miraculous — and not the result of a natural healing or a medical treatment.
On this measure, there's yet another notable difference between Catholics and evangelicals. While 41 percent of Protestants say they've had a miracle healing, only 18 percent of Catholics said the same.
Despite a lot of discussion and debate over the rise of the so-called "nones" (a group composed of atheists, agnostics and those with no religious affiliation), there's reportedly been a rise in the existence of miracles over the years.
One study in 2012 reportedly found a 22 percent increase over the past two decades in Americans who definitively believe that miracles are possible.
Still, there's very clearly a cohort of people who, for whatever reason, have come to believe that science precludes the existence of miracles. In fact, an analysis from The Pew Research Center recently found that 49 percent of "nones" who were raised with faith were led away from religion due to a "lack of belief."
Among those in this cohort, science was mentioned as a reason for rejecting elements of their former faith experience. Some responded that "logic" should trump, with others saying things like," I'm a scientist now, and I don't believe in miracles."
Of course, a belief in miracles more generally is quite different from a more specific assessment of medical miracles, with the latter, in some ways, providing a more measurable dynamic through which believers and skeptics, alike, can assess the facts surrounding each case.
Just consider a project being undertaken by former pastor Elijah Stephens — a documentary to objectively explore purported medical miracles.
"If God's real and doing stuff today I want to know about it … I wanted to find objective evidence," Stephens told "The Church Boys" podcast earlier this year. "You can claim someone's been healed, but what do the medical records say — and would a doctor really validate it?"
He's planning to take a rigorous approach to investigating alleged medical miracles, holding a high standard in the process, as Stephens said, "Christians have committed intellectual suicide and until we raise our standards no one is going to believe us on this stuff."

China is known to build best rip-off products, it is very difficult to tell the difference between real and knock-off. They have recently started adopting design and styling cues in their local vehicles as well.
Zotye is a Chinese automobile manufacturer and has a few products on offer in their market. They have now launched their most luxurious product known as the T700 SUV model.
Porsche, however, seems to have taken offence to the launch of Zotye T700. The Chinese model is identical to the German manufacturers Macan model that is popular globally.
Now the German manufacturer is supposedly going to sought legal action against Zotye. We wonder how successful a lawsuit against a Chinese maker would be as their system does not go against its own people.
This is not the first time a Chinese automobile manufacturer has created a vehicle identical to another popular model. Previously they had imitated one of Range Rover models, who had tried taking legal action against the manufacturer
Copying is bad for business and most manufacturers spend a lot of money in development and creation of design and styling. They also spend a lot of money in registering and achieving patents for their models.

How to Fall Asleep in Under a Minute
It was the week before my best friend's wedding, and my anxiety (nerves, plus excitement) had reached epic levels. I wasn't sleeping, to say the least. Part of that had to do with the maid-of-honor speech I would be giving. I was terrified and could not shut my brain off to fall asleep at night.
After day three of lying awake until the wee hours of the night, I sheepishly admitted to her that I was too nervous to fall asleep, and she—the bride, who was sleeping like a baby the week before her own wedding—told me I needed to try the "4-7-8" breathing trick.
She happens to be a licensed wellness practitioner who studies meditation, stress, and breathing techniques, and she told me it would change my life. You simply breathe in through your nose for four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds, and exhale through your mouth for eight seconds. She explained that the studied combination of numbers has a chemical-like effect on our brains and would slow my heart rate and soothe me right to sleep that night. "It works," she told me. "It's crazy."
I couldn't wait to put the trick to the test, and to my complete disbelief, I woke up the next morning unable to even remember getting to the eighth second of the exhale because it knocked me out that fast. For the next four nights leading up to the big day, even as my stress increased, I was able to fall asleep the minute I tried the 4-7-8 trick. I also used it to relax in the moments leading up to the speech.
When you feel stressed or anxious, adrenaline courses through your veins, your heart beats at a rapid rate, and your breathing becomes quick and shallow. So before I get into the specifics behind how the 4-7-8 breathing trick works, I wanted to explain in my own words what it feels like when you try it. To me, the effect of the breathing technique feels almost like a sedative drug, because in order to hold your breath for seven seconds and then to exhale for eight—when your breath is so shallow and short—your body is forced to slow your heart rate. It has no choice. Holding your breath, and then slowly, deliberately exhaling for eight seconds, causes a chain reaction. It feels like going from a mad-dash sprint to a finish line to a slow, leisurely, calming stroll through the park.
When you first start, you'll be desperate to just take in another breath, or you'll want to speed up your counting, but if you stick to the numbers (or at least try to), and don't take any breaks (in other words, consecutively repeat the 4-7-8 without resuming regular breathing), you can literally feel your heart rate slow down, your mind get quieter, and your whole body physically relax. It washes over you like a calming, relaxing drug. I can never remember getting past the first set of 4-7-8.
Do you know the feeling of being put under by anesthesia, where you are conscious, and the next thing you remember is waking up? That's what this is like for me: As soon as I start the practice, the next thing I remember, I'm waking up in the morning and can't even remember beginning the 4-7-8 count the night before. Crazy.
Now to the more technical details: People who are stressed or anxious are actually chronically under-breathing, because stressed people breathe shortly and shallowly, and often even unconsciously hold their breath. By extending your inhale to a count of four, you are forcing yourself to take in more oxygen, allowing the oxygen to affect your bloodstream by holding your breath for seven seconds, and then emitting carbon dioxide from your lungs by exhaling steadily for eight seconds. The technique will effectively slow your heart rate and increase oxygen in your bloodstream, and may even make you feel slightly lightheaded which contributes to the mild sedative-like effect. It will instantly relax your heart, mind, and overall central nervous system because you are controlling the breath versus continuing to breathe short, shallow gasps of air.
Mindful breathing practices have been a part of yoga and Eastern wellness modalities for centuries but aren't as popular in Western culture. The most well-known champion of the 4-7-8 breathing technique in the U.S., who is somewhat responsible for the prevalence that the technique does have amongst integrative medicine practitioners, yogis, and those in search of stress reduction and overall relaxation, is Harvard-educated Dr. Andrew Weil.
Though I'm not promising or claiming (nor does Dr. Weil) that practicing this breathing technique can fight disease or provide clinical benefits, I can tell you one thing: If it affects you like it did me, it will help you fall asleep way faster. Not only is it free, it also works for a number of different instances. In addition to using it to fall asleep in a pinch, you can practice it if you wake up in the middle of the night and find yourself thinking about something you have to do the next day, in order to fall back asleep; if you are nervous before an event (like a wedding, or giving a speech); if you are angry about something and want to calm down. My friend (the bride-to-be who slept like a baby the week before her wedding), who gets nervous to fly, uses it before flights and during if the plane encounters turbulence.
It is now what I use to fall asleep every single night, and each morning, I'm amazed at how well it worked.
Food that elimate your love handles
Love handles. They plague men just as much as women (whether or not you care to call them that or prefer "spare tire"). Regardless, if you do in fact have the extra poundage hanging around your midsection, take a look at these fat-eliminating foods selected by Yuri Elkaim, holistic nutritionist and author of the All Day Fat-Burning Diet, and Jessica Cording, R.D. a clinical nutritionist at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
The Get Lean for Life Diet
While these foods won't literally incinerate the fat from your abdominal, they will promote weight loss, and aid in your long-term goals without making you feel deprived. "So many diets are bereft of proper protein," Elkaim says. Instead, many guys count calories and eat tiny portions of high-sugar foods or juices that actually create a starving sensation, he adds. The principle behind the selection of these foods is simple: You'll eat real food (Read: not a bunch of bars or shakes) that come from every major food group. "You want 80 percent of what you eat to be raw, whole, plant-deprived foods to support your system and create an optimized environment for health and wellness," Elkaim says. We picked foods packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats to keep you energized to power through every day and any workout.
10 Reasons You Can't Keep The Weight Off
Leafy greens will provide vital nutrients, cleanse your body, and fill your stomach with healthy fiber and a surprisingly high (pound-for-pound) amount of protein. Seeds and legumes will provide additional satiating plant-based protein to make sure you never have that starving sensation, which causes even valiant men to binge on Twinkies. Healthy fats from nuts and oils will help you drop the pounds (fat doesn't make you fat), and keep your hunger at bay from meal to meal. Adding some lean meat into the mix will help build muscle. You want organic, grass-fed meat, and sustainably wild-caught fish. Low-glycemic fruit will cater to your carb and sweets needs, though the craving will diminish drastically after about three days. You should eat meals every four to six hours and snack very minimally. Snacking, and eating in general, raises insulin levels, which is responsible for storing excess carbs and sugars as fat. Even with the best intentions, you'll never lose weight if you slack when it comes to snack time. Add these eating principles and food guidelines to your daily diet, and watch that extra weight slip right off your midsection.
Muscle and Joint Pain
Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause a variety of muscle or joint-related symptoms. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are known to cause what are called myopathies—the medical term for diseases that affect skeletal muscle.
Skeletal muscles are the muscles connected to your bones. An example of skeletal muscles are your biceps in the upper arm, or the quadriceps in the thigh.
Myopathies most often are seen in what are known as the proximal muscles.
These are the muscles that are closest to the center of the body, such as the thigh or shoulder.
In myopathies caused by inflammation or metabolic conditions, such as autoimmune thyroid disease, white blood cells may attack parts of the muscle and the surrounding blood vessels, or abnormal levels of certain biochemical substances end up accumulating in your muscles, leading to weakness or pain.
Different thyroid conditions can also be associated with particular types of muscle and joint problems.
Muscle and Joint Pain With Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism can create a variety of muscle and joint-related symptoms. Most commonly, these symptoms are due to swelling of muscles, or swelling muscles that are pressing on nerves. Some of the problems seen include:
general muscular weakness and pain, including cramps, and stiffness
general joint pain, achiness, stiffness, known as "arthropathy"
tendonitis in the arms and legs
carpal tunnel syndrome, which involves pain, tingling, weakness, achiness, or numbness in the wrist, fingers, or forearm. It is due to swelling of membranes that compress a nerve in the forearm.
tarsal tunnel syndrome—similar to carpal tunnel, with pain, tingling, burning, and other discomfort in the arch of your foot, the bottom of the foot, possibly extending into the toes.
Stop Doing If You're Stress
Many of the stressors we face in life are not under our control. However, our responses to these things can have a heavy impact on our stress levels. What's more, many of the thoughts we have and actions we take when stressed can contribute to our problems by intensifying the already-negative feelings we may have. Therefore, it's wise to look at what we can control, stop doing things that perpetuate and exacerbate our stress levels and focus on what we can do to help ourselves feel more relaxed. The following are 10 bad habits that are commonly done by people under stress that make things worse:
1 Stop Ruminating
We all face things that cause us stress. It's natural to think about these stressors to see what we can do to better understand the situation so we can change it. But sometimes we can slip into a type of thinking that is unproductive, overly negative, and borders on obsessive. This type of thinking is known as "rumination." When we fall prey to rumination, we intensify the stress we are already feeling by focusing on the negative and continually reliving it. When we're in this pattern of thinking, our focus is more on what went wrong than on what we can do to fix things.
Rumination is more common than you may think. According to a poll on this site, for example, roughly 70 percent of readers find themselves ruminating quite often, and only around 5 percent find that they are able to let things go almost immediately.
Rumination can become a habit. The good news is that habits can be broken, even habits of thought. Learn more about rumination and its role in your life, and see what you can do to stop ruminating.
2 Stop Losing Sleep
Many things contribute to our stress levels, but sleep deprivation is one factor that makes a bigger impact than we may realize. When we don't get enough sleep, not only are we more reactive to stress, but our cognitive functioning isn't as sharp, which can contribute to mistakes made, causing a cycle of anxiety.
Stress can also impact our ability to get quality sleep. But by practicing good sleep hygiene, such as avoiding using televisions or computers before bed, going to bed the same time every night, and darkening the room, you can get better sleep.
3 Stop Eating Junk
What you eat can impact how you feel. Just as lost sleep can impact your reactivity, so can the wrong diet. If you have ever crashed from a caffeine high or a sugar rush, you already instinctively know this.
Stress can also impact what you crave and lead to emotional eating. This can present an even greater challenge for those who are stressed and trying to eat better, but it can (and should) be done! Learn more about the relationship between: stress and your eating patterns and how to change your habits, if necessary.
4 Stop Leaning on Frenemies
Relationships can be fantastic sources of stress relief. When we experience times of stress, the emotional support, the helpful resources, and the stability that friends bring us can be quite a buffer against the challenges we face.
Additionally, many people find themselves looking to relationships the most when under stress. This response, like the more commonly discussed fight-or-flight response, can help us to get our needs met when we are experiencing stress. This response drives us to connect with others and share support.
That said, the stress of a conflicted relationship can take a heavy toll on your health and well-being. Relationships that are sometimes supportive and sometimes unpredictably conflict-riddled can be particularly difficult because there's an underlying sense of uncertainty and tension.
Because of this, it is very important not only to know when to let go of a toxic relationship, but to know how to keep all the relationships in your life as healthy as possible.
Find the good excercise to make more healthy
A few years ago, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a lengthy report recommending that, as part of a routine regimen to maintain our cardiovascular health, ideal body weight, and ideal body composition, we all (that is, each and every one of us) need to engage in 60 minutes of daily moderate physical activity.
Furthermore, the experts over at the IOM made it crystal clear that they are not talking about merely accumulating the equivalent of an hour of exercise during one's routine daily activities (such as climbing stairs or doing the laundry).
What they're talking about is adding 60 minutes of honest-to-goodness sustained moderate intensity exercise (specifically, the equivalent of walking or jogging at least at a 4 to 5 miles per hour pace) to whatever other activities we might perform during the course of a normal day.
There is no doubt that exercise is very good for cardiovascular health. But an hour a day?
Read all about the cardiac benefits of exercise.
How Did They Come Up With an Hour A Day?
The experts who wrote this report for the IOM are scientists. Every word in this report is backed up by references from scientific studies, carefully interpreted in light of the whole body of evidence accumulated by medical science. This report is a comprehensive synthesis of what is known (and not known) today about optimizing our caloric intake (carbohydrates, fat, protein, etc.) and our output (physical activity) in order to maintain an advisable weight, a favorable body composition (i.e., proportion of muscle to fat), and cardiovascular health.
And based on their synthesis of all this data, the authors' conclusions regarding exercise follow as naturally as the night follows the day. These scientists are immersed in grim scientific objectivity, and like good scientists are merely letting the chips fall where they may. To maintain optimal cardiovascular health, a good body weight, and a favorable body composition, they have no choice but to conclude that all of us adults need to engage in at least one hour of moderately intensive exercise (or at least 30 minutes of vigorous exercise) each day.
A Whole Hour? Really?
While an hour a day of exercise may indeed be just the thing for us, the IOM recommendations are (I humbly submit) emblematic of a fundamental flaw with much modern progressive thinking. To wit: it is entirely ridiculous to expect us folks to change our fundamental human natures just because a top expert panel, following the latest high-quality investigational methodologies, has determined that we should.
To actually be useful, any expert recommendations on a healthy lifestyle must remain within the bounds of the possible. And telling us that it's an absolute that we must exercise for at least an hour a day is more than just out of bounds – it is too outlandish for words.
Indeed, this new recommendation is so outlandish that it threatens to completely undermine whatever good might have come so far from more reasonable recommendations that others have made regarding exercise.
My fear is that typical, ordinary Americans, upon learning that all their efforts to fit at least some exercise into their busy schedules are, after all, laughably inadequate, are going to throw up their hands in sheer frustration and disgust and say, "Screw it.
Pass the remote and open a bag of Cheetos." I suspect this is true because that was very nearly my reaction to this report.
How Much Exercise Is Actually Necessary?
Here's a fact: the available data strongly suggests that the more exercise you do, the more you are reducing your cardiovascular risk (and the more calories you burn off). While the IOM is now on record as saying we "need" to do an hour a day of exercise, the fact is that if we did two hours a day we'd be even better off. (To this extent, at least, the IOM experts who wrote this report in fact did maintain some minimal semblance of practicality.)
Those of you who can fit in an hour or two of exercise a day need read no further. But for the rest of us, the real question is: How much exercise do we really need in order to see at least some substantial cardiovascular benefit?
The answer is: More than 40 studies in scientific literature document that cardiac risk can be reduced by 30 – 50% by regular, moderate exercise – exercise averaging far less than one hour per day. If you can exercise at a moderate pace for 20 – 30 minutes at least five days a week, you may not shed a lot of pounds or reach your ideal body composition, and you may not achieve the optimal cardiac benefits which the IOM mandates for us, but you will be doing your heart and your cardiovascular system a lot of good.
Read all about exercise and the heart
The bottom line: if you can engage in vigorous exercise for an hour a day without making yourself crazy, disabling yourself with orthopedic issues, losing your job, or instigating a divorce, then by all means do so. But if you are a mere mortal, then at least try to go for a walk every day. Twenty minutes of moderate daily activity won't make the pounds melt off or give you the same body composition as the Williams sisters, but it can make a real impact on your cardiovascular health.
If the authors of the IOM report had allowed as much, the frustration levels they created among those of us trying to lead healthy, but non-obsessive, lifestyles might be a little bit lower.

I would appreciate any experience on whether it is entirely doable in that time frame to walk from Fira to Oia, enjoy a couple of hours in Oia, then get a bus back to Fira to spend some time there. Are there other ways to get to Oia besides bus or hiking? I think we will dock at Skala, and would need to take the cable car up to Fira to find the trail to Oia.

No cruise ships dock at Santorini. You have to come on shore by tender, so it can take a while. But it will be faster to take the cable car up rather than the donkeys.
If it were me, I'd recommend taking a taxi up to Oia and walking back (it's downhill on the way back and uphill on the way there). But it's a long walk, so I'm not sure if you will really have time. If it were me, I'd take the bus from Oia to Imerovigli and then walk back down to Fira from there. That's a little less than halfway, and it's the nicest part of the walk (for me at least). That will give you plenty of time to get back to your ship without being rushed.
Report Abuse
I agree with Douglas that it's too far to walk all the way and if its hot it would be fairly exhausting. My husband caught the bus from Fira to Oia and it was easy. Crowded but easy! I'm pretty sure you cou,d probably get a cab from the dock straight to Oia which would make it an easy trip.
Report Abuse
The dock is at the old port of Fira, where there are no cars at all.... ( it is at sea level of course, when Fira is at the top of the cliff)
OP should take the cable car , as Doug already said, go up to Fira and walk to where the taxis are waiting...
Now i can imagine that many others will have the same idea at the same time.... while the number of taxis is limited...
The bus is a good alternative, here is the official website of the KTEL buses on Santorini :
What you see now is the winter timetable, until May they will switch to summer
Report Abuse
You probably have time for the walk but somewhere around Imerovigli the footpath with wonderful views of the caldera becomes a walk along the main road until Oia. Not that great and for that reason I would follow the suggestions about bus or taxi part of the way.

What a bummer Cathinjoetown, that you must have missed the actual trail after Imerovigli and to Oia. Actually, after Imerovigli it turns into a true trail where you start to feel as you're hiking. To me, THIS is the best part of the hike. It's not on a road at all, but a trail along the edge of the caldera to winds through some beautiful scenery, coming across a few churches and quite often, feeling like you're all by yourself on the edge of the volcano.
It does get confusing where to go just past Imerovigli to get to the trail, perhaps that is why some people think it's just the main road from there.
Report Abuse
Thanks for all that really good info! Sounds like if we DID walk back from Oia to Fira, we would have the option of hopping the bus in Imerovigli if we were tired or running late. If we do walk all the way, any time estimates that you can offer? (we are relatively fit, but are likely to stop alot for photos)
Report Abuse
Thanks for correcting me, good information.
Report Abuse
Since this is your first time to Santorini and your time is limited , wouldn't you rather spend it more wisely?
Go to Oia , walk around it is a great place then take the bus back to and get off at Imerovigli, walk to Fira...
You can spend some time in Fira as well, and then visit the archaeological site of Akrotiri, which in my opinion is a must see.
Visit one of the wineries of the island, go to Pyrgos to admire the panoramic view.... you have enough options...
Report Abuse
Now that Akrotiri has reopened, it is got to be on everyone's list of potential places to see. The only difficulty is that it's literally on the other end of the island from Oia, so the logistics are difficult with just a day in port. I'd say it's probably one or the other. But there might be time for to Imerovigli either way.
Report Abuse
OP will have 9 hours at disposal, with the right timing you can see a lot..... it is only a matter of priorities
Report Abuse
It's not really 9 hours. It may take 2 hours or more to get everyone off the ship (those on ship-sponsored excursions will get to go first). Then there's also the huge line to get back on the ship. I say 5 to 6 hours tops. You can't do the full walk to or from Oia and Akrotiri on the same day, even if you wanted to.
Report Abuse
I don't see any meaning in a the full walk for a first time visitor anyway, especially with that limited time.
But seeing Oia, walking from Imerovigli to Fira and visiting Akrotiri is absolutely doable...
Even if you calculate 2 hours to dis/embarkation they would still have 7 hours to spend on the island

text: IndigoVision has added to its powerful suite of integration modules with the addition of Shop Alert, a retail staff information system. IndigoVision's integration modules allow its complete IP Video surveillance system to seamlessly interface with third party systems to create a truly integrated security solution – across an IP network. With the ability to integrate with access control, intruder detection, building management and Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) systems, IndigoVision can deliver a compelling solution for total retail security. The addition of Shop Alert takes the total number of integration modules available to 22. Through the use of Shop Alert's Tenant Alert Pad, two-way communication between the shopping centre security staff and retailers can be initiated through a series of messages, alerts and alarms. Using the new integration module, these events can be bookmarked alongside the recorded surveillance video, allowing operators to quickly retrieve footage from any camera associated with the incident. Evidential quality video clips can be exported for use by the Police if required. The integrated alarm environment is managed by 'Control Center', IndigoVision's Security Management Software. It is the ability to alert security video operators to alarms or events from other security systems and to bookmark the video that makes integration such a powerful tool. Actions can be triggered in one system from events generated in another. For example, an alarm generated by a forced door can trigger an alarm in 'Control Center' which in turn automatically moves a PTZ camera to a pre-programmed position, displays the video of the incident and indicates the location on a schematic map. Some of the integration modules allow 2-way operation, allowing for instance, an analytics motion detection event generated in a camera to lock doors and trigger a local alarm. Another powerful use of integration in a retail environment is when EPOS information is made available to the IP Video system. Data sent from an EPOS system can be overlaid on a live video display, allowing operators to view the camera feed and till transaction simultaneously. The transaction information generated by the EPOS system is also bookmarked with the video. This facilitates visual identification of an incident in both real time and through post-event analysis. EPOS alarms such as 'till left open', 'refund', or 'large note deposit' can automatically trigger events within 'Control Center'. Alarms from non-security systems such as building management and plant monitoring can also easily be integrated into the system and benefit retail applications, such as alerting staff when a freezer fails or a door is left open. Digital inputs and outputs are available on IndigoVision's IP cameras and transmitter modules and through a dedicated IP Alarm Panel, which facilitates discrete interface with these types of system. In an integrated security environment the most used interface is normally the video surveillance system. This coupled with IndigoVision's sophisticated alarm handling capabilities makes 'Control Center' the obvious place to consolidate alarms from all the systems. These advanced alarm features allow 'Control Center' to operate in what is known as a 'black' or 'dark' screen monitoring mode, where video is only displayed on alarm. This method of operation is recognised as providing a more efficient operator environment that leads to quicker incident response.

Security Certificate Seal: Replacing white background of the image with transparencyAsked by glandoreghyc on December 05, 2015 at 04:11 AM
Now that JotForm operate using secure links, how can i make the background of your Security logo transparent?
see image
Just to be clear, i can copy the logo and make the background transparent, but i thought there maybe a way of configuring it as transparent within JotForm.
John, I'm afraid that the image is saved on our servers with a white background already set on it. Currently, the only way is to modify the image to remove the white background, and replace it with transparency.
The current image can be accessed directly over this link:
I will send your input as a feature request to our back-end team, but as this will likely be of low priority, it may be quicker for you to copy the image and make the changes on your end, in order to have it implemented right away.
We will update you through this thread if or when your kind recommendation gets implemented. Thank you.
I have created a logo with the transparent background and uploaded it.
Works fine thanks, if anyone else wants to use it feel free.
Thank you for your nice contribution, John. I see that it indeed looks nicer on your form.
I see that the link to your edited image is here:
I have forwarded your contributed image in the feature request as well, in case that our developers decide to use it. Thank you.

I'm not looking for The One, but I am looking for awesomeness and fun dating. That doesn't mean, of course, that a long-term relationship is out of the question, either. Together, we can turn Saturday nights into Awesomeday nights. (Which is great for your career, studies, child-rearing, girls night out traditions, etc.)
Soy un hombre sincero. Busco una novia a tiempo parcial. Me gustan las cosas siguientes: Zizek, tiburones, tomar copas, ir de camping, las chicas de casi cualquier tipo, y El Cid.
I am snarky, caffeinated, and libidinal.
Mi acento castellano; es muy raro aqui en Nuevo Mexico.
Peliculas: "Roll Bounce", which was the last movie I watched two nights in a row; just about anything by Antonioni; most zombie films (it's kind of a research interest); "Apocalypse Now: Redux"; most anything by Ozon (but "See the Sea" creeped me out); Bertolucci; "My Architect"; "Broken Flowers"; "In the Mood for Love"; TV: Bring back "Dead Like Me"; "Better off Ted"
La musica: Flaming Lips, Built to Spill, KUNM's Friday night hip-hop, Wolfmother, Flight of the Conchords, Dvorak, Mahler, The Killers, Ke$ha, Promise Ring (I know, that makes me a girl), Curtis Blow, electrobeats.
La comida: I sometimes forget to eat, so this can be hit or miss. I like lots of things that can be hard to afford if you eat really well prepared versions of them often: sushi, Thai, Indian food. I have the softest spot for a Blue Ribbon Special at Brick Yard. And if you know where the best falafel in town is, then please message me.
Me gustan mucho Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal, los libros de Haruki Murakami, Ha muerto la filosofia?, los ensayos y libros de Jose Ortega Y Gasset.
Pensar en las peliculas, me encanta Paz Vega, especialmente El Otro Lado de la Cama y Lucia y el Sexo.

Have you ever had one? Did it work out for you?
Most Helpful Guy
I'm going to give a more optimistic answer here than the others I'm reading...
The long distance relationships that I've seen work actually work really really well!
I know a couple who started off long distance while still in high school. They lived thousands of miles away and met at a summer camp. They were long distance for 2-3 years. Even when they went away to college, they were still long distance for a while, although they eventually ended up transferring to be in the same college. They've been together ever since. It's been years now, and they're the closest cutest couple you've ever met. They are now married.
Of course, long distance relationships require a lot of patience and can be emotionally straining after a while!
And most don't work, which is why all the other responses are negative. However, most regular relationships don't work either. It's just that most people don't care that their regular relationships don't work, because regular relationships are relatively easy and enjoyable for a lot of people even when they eventually end in a break up. The long distance relationship is going to feel harder to begin with... and for a lot of people, hard is not good.
If you are one of those people who only lives in the moment, then a long distance relationship is probably not for you.
However, from my personal experience, there are definitely good reasons to consider long distance relationships, one being that it opens you up to a wider selection of people to date, which increases the chances of finding someone who is truly compatible with you.
If you're one of those people who believes in soul mates, consider that they could live anywhere on the planet. Who knows when and where you'll met them if you ever do, but if you limit yourself to only dating people who are living in the same place as you, then your chances of ever getting to ever be with your soulmate goes down quite a bit.11|00|0

If they have a checking account, I suggest you take the executed Power of Attorney form to their bank and become a signatory on their checking account. Once both sign the POA form, there will be no need to "separate" their money. Hope this helps.

National capitals are supposed to mark themselves as the best, for they embody the whole nation. But much to my shame, rather our shame, India's capital is deprived of that what is expected. Yeah! WHO asserted Delhi to be the worst in the world if what being talked about is 'air pollution'. 'Rape Capital' has persistently been Delhi's tag, to top, 'Pollution Capital', one may assign this tag too.
It was reported in last July at parliament that 80 deaths that befall every day in Delhi bear this same one murderer 'AIR'. Research also unveils, that apart from the pulmonary and respiratory disorders, pollutants are potent enough to damage chromosomes and DNA, culminating in deplorable abnormalities. But the concern for the city shot up after the air was detected with the festooned PM1 particles, 2.5 times under-sized as that of the usual PM2.5 matter. The ultrafine particles of PM1 are tiny enough to seep deeper into the lungs, eventually slipping in the bloodstream and manifesting as cardiovascular diseases and brain strokes.
90% of diesel emissions emit out PM1 particles warning it out clarion that Delhi's transport system badly needs moderation and regulation. Who other than road star Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi CM, would come to Delhi's rescue! Kejriwal's hackneyed hunger-pangs for publicity is known to each of us. And he garners publicity best with his melodrama on the roads of Delhi. But this time his melodrama holds in substantial significance and fruitfulness. His campaign 'Ab Bus Karein' would instil the minds of Delhi with 'one car per family' strategy. Not only this, people will be also encouraged to practise carpooling and bicycling.
The campaign is scheduled on 22nd Oct and this day would see zero cars on the roads and to counterbalance the dearth of cars, roads will be facilitated with adequate public transport vehicles. This ploy has been devised by the CM to mark out the contrast difference between the pollution levels of a car-free and a car-full day. May it be one of the usual publicity stunts by Kejriwal but for the better cause it is. As long as the campaign serves the needful to the capital, doesn't matter if the 'Muffler Man' reaps stardom for self.
Delhi hangs in between the life and death and it is only its own citizens who can light up their darkly unhealthy future.
Let us see if Arvind Kejriwals's symbolic broom will clean the dirty air of Delhi.

Tyler Lyon
Vote for Breakout Artist of the Year on Strange Music
Strange Music MVP of 2015 Nominees:
He carved a new lane, not only in the sound of Strange Music but in hip hop, with the release of Have A Nice Life. The combination of substantial rhymes from an underground legend and a pop-friendly, glossy production proved to be a potent combination. The Have A Nice Life Tour was also a triumph, as MURS held it down with two turntables and a microphone. In the days of big budgets and special effects, MURS proved that sometimes that's all you need.
CES Cru
CES Cru hit the road in the summer with The Recession Proof tour, another month and a half of great songs, dizzying flows and the kind of verbal teamwork that only comes from a longstanding duo. The Recession Proof EP was a 6 song gem that doubled as a mission statement of where the group is in their career: successful but still hungry. The hunger was easily displayed in the innumerable amount of guest spots in which they slayed this year: MURS's "Fun-eral", Stevie Stone's "Wait On It", ¡MAYDAY!'s "One Wing", Prozak's "War Within", and not to mention their slaymanship on Tech N9ne Collabos – Strangeulation Vol. II. In 2015, it's safe to say that their pens were on fire as ever.
On the merit of the "LAF" (Remix) alone, Rittz deserve a vote. Remixing the incendiary track from last year's Next To Nothing wasn't enough, he fucked around and included the game's most elite spitters: Yelawolf, Royce Da 5'9″ and KXNG Crooked. On top of that, Rittz took KXNG Crooked on the road with him for the Southwest Kings tour, giving the nation a view of what elite skills combined with undeniable charisma looks/sounds like. As if that weren't enough, Rittz killed every appearance he was on, including his highly memorable verses from Strangeulation Vol. II (one which is nominated for verse of the year). Just because he didn't have an album out in 2015 doesn't mean it wasn't killing season for the Clintel general.
Prozak's long-awaited album Black Ink proved to be more than anyone expected, a potent cocktail of old-school hip hop, new-school fusion and an emotional core that we had yet to hear from The Hithcock of Hip Hop. Predominantly known for his commentary on the ills of society, Prozak opened the door to his mind and let us into a world of personal pain and triumph. Songs like "House of Cards" (nominated for song of the year) take on the subject of suicide in a way that only someone who's been affected by it ever could. Add to all of that a surprising chopper verse on his Strangeulation Vol. II cypher, and you can conclude that Prozak was full of surprise punches in 2015.
Stevie Stone
Everything Stevie Stone does is an event. Like the song on the long awaited Malta Bend says, he's so epic. After a 2014 that only saw him on tours and guest appearances, Stevie Stone dropped his best album to date with Malta Bend. With his signature mixture of hype-anthems and soul-stirring personal storytelling, Malta Bend is far and beyond the quintessential album we've been waiting to hear from Stevie Stone. Currently the ferocious and ever-hungry emcee is serving his music to the masses on the road on The Malta Bend Tour, proving that his train never stops.
Krizz Kaliko
Need a hook? Call Krizz Kaliko. Need an incredibly dope verse? Same number. The vocal Swiss Army Knife came through with a vengeance for Strange Music with his versatility and impeccable vocal arrangements. From his scene-stealing verse on "Speedom (WWC2)" to his numerous hooks for albums like Special Effects, Black Ink and Strangeulation Vol. II (this guy sneezes and a hit comes out), Krizz Kaliko was never short of supply this year and was the glue that held many projects together. To combine that with his grueling touring schedule alongside Tech N9ne, as well as his own solo shows, makes him easy to vote for in the race for Strange Music MVP.
Every ¡MAYDAY! release is assumed to be a classic before it even comes out. Future Vintage was no exception. Their most packed album to date, the sprawling, 19-track epic came complete with all the qualities we expect from a ¡MAYDAY! album plus a few new surprises. The track "Against My Better Judgment" is a rousing acoustic epic that proves there's nothing the Miami group can't do, and their Future Vintage Tour put the best show on earth in venues all across Canada and back to The States.

DIEP Flap Reconstruction
Dr. Greenspun is an extremely talented physician. He has a very calming manner and always takes the time to answer questions. He is friendly and caring and although he is a first rate physician, he doesn't take himself too seriously, which is very rare for someone at his caliber. His assistant, Alison, is wonderful. She is extremely helpful and makes a busy doctor very efficient but at the same time there is a warmth that really shines through as they really seem to care about the patient.

I highly recommend Dr. Greenspun for the DIEP reconstructive breast surgery using your own tissue. My case was a bit challenging because I needed to have one delayed and one immediate reconstructed breast due to my possible cancer prognosis. Dr. Greenspun tailored his approach to my specific case and worked with my breast surgeon along the way. I am very happy with the results!!! Not only is he is a talented micro-surgeon but he is a great guy. He is compassionate, kind and will do everything he can to manage his patients' expectations and discomfort. Whether it be meeting his patients at the hospital on a Saturday morning to take out their drains or making follow-up post-op phone calls after hours, he is a diligent and dedicated surgeon. I think one of the nurses said it best, "His hands are blessed," and so is his heart.

Former patient
I had the diep flap surgery and although the doctor was great, I would not reccomend this proceedure to anyone. I was in great shape, never smoked, exercised regularly, etc. The results were a nightmare. The tranferred fat died off, I got an infection, the perfusion was so poor all of the flap had to be removed I am left scared. I have had 4 additional surgeries to fix the original and I am not done yet. Think very hard before doing this proceedure.
