Nurse's warning after pacemaker triggered severe allergic reaction despite her warning to doctors
A nurse who suffers with a severe allergy to metals has been left in pain for seven months after a pacemaker set off her condition.
Chandra Taylor, 51, has been a nurse for more than 20 years and works at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH).
But in June last year Mrs Taylor, from Rackheath, was at work when her heart rate became irregular and extremely fast.
"I was admitted to A&E and from there into the cardiology ward," she said. "I had to stay as an inpatient for eight days and according to the diagnosis my only option was to have an artificial pacemaker."
Mrs Taylor said she told staff she had an allergy to all metals except for gold, and she was reassured this would not be a problem. But after the surgery she became seriously ill.
"The next few days following my surgery I was in lot of pain, I struggled to get out from the bed, and couldn't sleep. My whole body felt very warm, like I had continuous flu. I became very depressed and my whole life became a dark, sad place where I wanted to kill myself. A week later my left side of the body swelled up, the pacemaker insertion site started to itch, and I had a very unpleasant tingling in my left arm and painful armpit. I then realised that I was having an allergic reaction to the metal of the pacemaker," she said.
But when she went to back to the hospital, no one would believe it was a reaction to the metals. She said: "This happened four times, I kept telling them this is the reaction."
Eventually, Mrs Taylor said her nursing knowledge came in handy as she suggested to her GP she could have a prescription of strong antihistamines - this controlled her symptoms, proving it was caused by an allergic reaction, and finally medics accepted she should have a gold-plated device. However seven months later she is still waiting.
"I was in tears morning and night," she said. "Although developing an allergic reaction to a pacemaker is very rare, it can happen. And you have to suffer the consequences and the reversal takes such long time. My message is if you know you are allergic to metals tell the cardiologist before your surgery is planned."
An NNUH spokesman said: "We'd like to apologise to Chandra for the complications she's had following her pacemaker implant. A procedure to implant a new parylene coated pacemaker will be scheduled in the near future. We'd like to wish Chandra all the best for the future and a speedy recovery."

But the upcoming release of Michael Bay's "6 Underground" by global streaming giant Netflix is a reminder that the movie distribution industry is changing fast.
"I've been lucky enough to work in this business for 25 years now, and I don't think I've worked on a movie of this scale and scope. Just the fact that they're bringing this to Netflix is a real sign of the times, and how things are changing," cast member Ryan Reynolds said about the film's distribution, during a press conference for the film in Seoul on Monday.

Directed by Bay, the film was created in hopes of building a new action franchise around Reynolds.
The premise of the movie centers on six individuals from a vigilante squad -- led by "One" (Reynolds) -- who seek to take down criminals after faking their deaths and "becoming ghosts," erasing their past and changing the outcome of the future in the process.
"With an international cast with Ryan, Melanie, and Adria, it's a globe-trotting adventure. I think everybody's going to really respond to it," said producer Ian Bryce.
Speaking after the Seoul premiere the previous day, the cast members and Bay focused on the intensity of the action in what Reynolds described as "such a muscular film."

Melanie Laurent noted how the film started off by shooting a car chase scene, one of the most intense moments in the action-packed flick.
"It was maybe the weirdest but also a funny way to meet the cast: stuck in a car, and everything is crazy around you. And you shoot in real streets, which is why that scene feels so amazing and new," said Laurent, who plays the role of Two. "After that, we felt like everything was going to be like this for five months."
In an era of computer-generated imagery, Reynolds said the real-life part may be one of the most appealing aspects of the film.
"I've always been a huge fan of analog type of visual effect, as opposed to computer-generated visual effects. I loved how so much of what we see in this movie are stunts performed by incredibly talented stunts people, who are some of the most overlooked crew members in this entire industry," he said.
In addition to Bay's trademark action and explosions, the cast members also highlighted the film's characters.
"What drew me specifically was having a strong female character that has a heart, who is not tough but strong. A lot of the times I see in movies females are made to be tough, but this film had the character be strong," said Adria Arjona about her character Four, who is not big on action but on spirit.
Regarding whether he had any regrets about his new film not being featured on the big screen, Bay said the industry has to adapt to this change.
"I appreciate the movie screen. But our whole movie scene is changed, and we have to get used to it," he said. "People want to consume things in a new way. And movie-going experience is sort of dying, which is sad, but it is sort of dying.
"Get a big TV," he said with a laugh.

Part of the Internet of Things (IoT), Lighting-Based Intelligence Optimizes Key Aspects of Customers' Operations
Boston, Mass., January 21, 2014 – Digital Lumens announced today that it has brought the Internet of Lights to more than 100 million square feet (10 million square meters) of space across more than 1,000 large-scale commercial and industrial facilities worldwide. In the Internet of Lights, a lighting-based category within the Internet of Things, every intelligent LED fixture is wirelessly networked and gathers sensor and meter data that is used for ongoing operational optimization.

Today I felt like wearing my dots again. I guess the black, white and red combination is never out of style and I really like it. The skirt you've already seen a couple of times but it's a great basic in my wardrobe. Whenever a dress or tunic is too short I can throw it underneath but it's great on it's own as well. So what's your favourite colour combination?
I coloured my hair the other day, can you tell? All the grey is gone and they put in a few highlights as well. I think they did a pretty good job! Very natural 😉

Conservation Comeback | Winter 2013 Out Here Magazine
Once-endangered wild turkeys now plentiful in every state
By Hannah Wolfson
Photography courtesy of the National Wild Turkey Federation
James Earl Kennamer experienced his first wild turkey hunt when he was in sixth grade, but he can remember it like it was yesterday.
"It's hard to understand, until you stand on a ridge or down in a swamp on a beautiful spring morning when the world's waking up, and you hear the birds sing and then a turkey call," says Kennamer, who was so inspired by the experience that he has dedicated his life to studying the American wild turkey. "It just makes my hair stand on end."
Back then, his experience was a rare one. The country's wild turkey population, plentiful in pre-colonial times, hovered around 1 million nationwide. In many states, the native birds lived only in small clusters in remote areas, such as the protected land that was part of a military base in Alabama where Kennamer accompanied his father on a hunt.
But thanks to the work of Kennamer and others at the National Wild Turkey Federation, where he's chief conservation officer, the birds have made an incredible comeback, and now number around 7 million. "We now have them literally in every state," Kennamer says. "It's been one of the conservation marvels of this century."
In fact, the NWTF's mission goes beyond protecting just the turkeys; it's more about preserving America's rural, hunting heritage and spreading the word that hunting is a key part of conservation, Kennamer says.
Much of the resurgence can be credited to the NWTF and Kennamer himself, who worked with state wildlife biologists to find ways to re-stock the declining wild turkey population.
As the nation expanded and settlers cut down forests, the birds disappeared from some states altogether — from much of New England in the 1800s and the upper Midwest in the early 1900s. By 1920, 18 states had no wild turkeys, and the numbers were small in many others. As late as the Great Depression, fewer than 30,000 wild turkeys remained in the entire United States.
By the 1970s and '80s, some states were working to grow their flocks and move them into reserves and safe woodlands. But federal law prohibits states from selling wildlife or sending it across state lines. Without allowing South Carolina to ship a few turkeys a year to Texas, for example, it would have been a losing battle.
So Kennamer and his team calculated a formula that would allow wildlife officials to trade turkeys for another species or be reimbursed for the cost of trapping, transporting, and replacing them, estimated at the time at around $500 a head. In the 1980s, they flew 15 turkeys from Georgia to Wood County, Texas, on a private jet.
"That started the ball rolling," Kennamer says. "Flash forward to today, and we have moved 22,000 turkeys between states, and all over the country."
They've also done important work educating the public about the value of protecting wild turkey populations, as well as the other species that benefit from the protected land where turkeys live. And, as a group made up of mostly hunters, they've worked to re-open spring turkey hunts in all states but Alaska.
But the battle's not over yet. Suburban sprawl — subdivisions and parking lots chewing up forests and farms — has the turkeys facing more habitat destruction. And Kennamer says that an increasingly modern, sedentary lifestyle means fewer people are introduced to hunting and the joy of experiencing the outdoors.
"Wild turkeys have been part of my life as long as I can remember," he says, "and part of why I do what I do today is that I want my three granddaughters to have that same experience."
Hannah Wolfson writes and lives in Alabama, where the Eastern wild turkey is the state's official game bird.

Throughout the process of writing this book, many individuals from the community have taken time out to help us out. We'd like to give a special thanks to the Python and Jython community as a whole for actively participating in the feedback and contributions for this book via the mailing lists.
We also thank the Python and Jython developers for producing this great programming language. So much hard work has gone into the Python language that it has become one of the most solid and widely used object oriented programming languages available today. The Jython developers have done a tremendous job bringing the Jython of today up-to-speed with current versions of the Python language. The Jython community seems to be working harder than ever before at making it a viable option for programming modern Python and Java applications alike. Special thanks to those developers who have helped out with this book and still kept Jython advancing.
The authors of The Definitive Guide to Jython would like to offer an extra special thanks to the rest of the individuals in this section. Without your insight or contributions portions of this book may not have been possible.
James Gardner - Thanks to James Gardner for his help in providing us with a working toolset and knowledge to convert from restructured text format to MS Word for the Apress editing process. The open source book was written completely in restructured text, and converted to .doc format for the Apress drafts and editing procedures. James offered great insight on how he used this process with The Pylons Book, and he also provided us with a conversion utility that was used for his book.

She is 14 years old, and apparently French. Not much else is known about this precocious young guitarist who goes by the name "Tina S" on her YouTube channel.
Tina became an Internet sensation in late May, when she posted an astonishing cover version of "Eruption," from Van Halen's debut album. Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang was so impressed he tweeted, "I need to meet this girl!!!"
Writing as "@Tina_Guitare," the young musician replied, "I need to meet you too! Haha :))" Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres also went on Twitter and said, "This girl is incredible. If you know where she is, I want her on my show immediately." There was no reply to that one -- at least not on Twitter.
Now Tina is back with a new video, made by her teacher Renaud Louis-Servais, in which she rips through a cover of "Vivaldi Tribute," Patrick Rondat's speed metal adaptation of the climactic "Presto" (very fast) movement of the Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi's "Summer" concerto from The Four Seasons. It's an amazing performance for a 14-year-old, although you should also see her playing classical guitar when she was nine.

Amazon order tracking is possible with logging in. All you need to do is copy tracking page link and add it to Parcels mobile app, or paste link on ParcelsApp.com.
One other option is to track using your Amazon order number which looks like 112-5992395-9619458.
If your order doesn't have tracking number attached, there are a few ways that you can still track your Amazon order:
You can track your Amazon Prime order the same way as regular orders
Copy entire link or only order number (i.e. 000-0000000-0000000) and paste it here inside search field above
You may have several Amazon orders where tracking is missing from the order page. Yet the order has been shipped several days ago. Here are some reasons why tracking information may not be available:
To track your Amazon delivery go to Your Orders page on Amazon. Click "Track Package" button, you'll be taken to tracking page, where you can find courier tracking number if shipped by DHL, USPS, UPS, Intelcom, China Post, etc.
If delivery is by AMZL_US, Amazon, Amazon Logistics then the only way to track is to copy that page link and paste it on ParcelsApp.com or refer to Amazon Your Orders page everytime you need to know where your order is.
For final mile carrier information please enter your tracking number which begins with PBX and our service will find and track with final mile carrier and show you additional tracking number and all related tracking information.
This is the Amazon special delivery for same day-2 day delivery and is used in larger cities. Tracking numbers starting with TBA should show a carrier as AMZN_US, Amazon or Amazon Logistics, and there's absolutely nowhere to track the package since it's done by courier from local warehouses and not common carriers.
The only way to track such deliveries is by going to Your Orders section of Amazon or by copying tracking link after clicking "Track Package" button in Your Orders and pasting in on ParcelsApp.com
Amazon.com has begun contracting deliveries through a variety of regional carriers. Some national carriers use regional carriers to deliver your package. When this happens, your tracking information may not be accurately reflected on the national carrier website.
Some exceptionally large or heavy items may be shipped by a specialty carrier such as CEVA, ABF, Pilot, or XPO. Parcel Pool is used for standard deliveries to Alaska and Hawaii, and OnTrac is used for same-day deliveries to Seattle.
Most popular carriers used by Amazon to deliver packages are UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, ECMS EXPRESS, Landmark Global, LaserShip, Amazon Logistics (AMZL_US)
If Amazon.co.uk provided you with a tracking number for Your Order, the carrier may have more information than the Amazon.co.uk website. Track your Amazon.co.uk packages with ParcelsApp.com to get up-to-date information about your order.
Most popular deliver and courier companies used by Amazon.co.uk are Hermes, Royal Mail, myHermes, DPD, Yodel, DHL, DHL Netherlands, Arrow XL, An Post, ASM or GLS Spain, Colis Privé,
After an order has shipped, many packages can be tracked on Amazon.ca. You can find tracking information in your order details.
Amazon.ca Canada uses several courier partners, such as Canada Post, Intelcom, Purolator, UPS, DHL, Amazon Logistics, TForce Final Mile (Dynamex).
If tracking is available, you can track your package via the Your Orders page or by copying and pasting package tracking number on this page into search field above. The shipping method and carrier for your package will be listed in your account and in your shipment confirmation e-mail.
Follow the procedure describe above in Amazon Logistics Package Tracking section to track your Amazon Logistics France delivery.
Amazon India uses several courier partners, such as Shipped by Amazon, this is Amazon Transportation Services delivery and Amazon will share the delivery agent's contact information on the day of delivery.
Other partner couriers are Blue Dart, FedEx, GATI, Indian Postal Service, Aramex, Delhivery and Ecom Express.
Amazon now has an internal transportation division called Amazon Transportation Services (ATS). Amazon has purchased a large number of tractor-trailers in addition to cargo airplanes which will transport 100% Amazon cargo.
ATS will accelerate last mile delivery services and assist in rapid deliveries. Currently, Amazon works in sync with many courier companies such as DHL, Blue Dart, Gati and even Indian Post to deliver across nearly 19000 pin codes in India. Interestingly, Amazon is late in setting up its own logistics company as Flipkart delivers via eKart and Snapdeal acquired Gojavas recently.
Despite the presence of many third party delivery service start ups, most well established e-tailers prefer to set up their own delivery companies for accelerating their delivery services and reducing dependence on third party service providers who could be delivering goods of competitors too. Another major reason being, botched up last mile delivery services could hamper their reputation and imply losing out in the race to lead the ecommerce segment.
Wondering how to track amazon order using order number? It's possible! You just need to enter your Amazon order number that looks like 701-9923802-8100257 or 112-5992395-9619458.
You can find your Amazon order number in the email confirmation, or by going to "My Orders" page.
If order was shipped by ordinary courier service like USPS, FedEx or UPS you can copy tracking number from Amazon Order page and track package using respective courier website or on ParcelsApp.com.
If the order was fulfilled by Amazon, from an Amazon Warehouse, then you should be able to track the progress from the "My Orders" page on the website or you can copy order tracking page link and track order on ParcelsApp.com
You'll see an estimated shipping or delivery date for each shipment on the order summary, just before you place your order. An estimated delivery date (or date range) will also appear in Your Orders after you've placed your order.
Delivery estimates are calculated by taking the estimated shipping date and adding the transit time (the time it takes a package to travel from our facilities to your destination address), based on the shipping speed you've chosen. The transit time is calculated using business days, meaning Saturday and Sunday don't count toward the transit time (unless Amazon specifically offered a weekend delivery during checkout). Holidays are also taken into account when calculating the transit time.
Don't panic. Amazon will not charge your credit card until the order has been confirmed. Until that point, you can still cancel the order by going to Accounts and Lists > Your Account > Your Orders and selecting Cancel Order.
Occasionally packages are returned to Amazon as undeliverable. When the carrier returns an undeliverable package to Amazon, you will be issued a full refund (including shipping charges).
Reasons for Undeliverable Packages:
Have you ever waited for an Amazon delivery that never showed up? Your package may have been "lost in transit.", or as message in Amazon Orders section says: "Sorry, your package was lost in transit. Please contact Amazon for the next steps", or "Lost by carrier – undeliverable".
Before contacting Amazon support make sure to track your Amazon package with our postal tracker, that has integration with over 400+ courier services and may find some new information about your missing package.
Does your Amazon order page say my package was directly handed off and delivered but you've received nothing? If you are in the same situation then don't panic because Amazon will refund your all money in case your order will not deliver to your doorstep.
Check courier company that delivers the package, if it's AMZL (Amazon Logistics) then it could mean a few things:
If you do not see your package but the end of the day, usually about 8 pm or so, then call the delivery company and see if they can help you from there.
What to do if your package shows as delivered but you can't find it.
If you are not in rush then wait for the next 36 to 48 hours. Sometimes package tracking shows as delivered while still in transit.
If Amazon tracking information is not available this may be due to the timing of tracking-database updates by the carrier, the sophistication of a particular carrier's tracking system, or the lack of full integration into Amazon's tracking systems.
If the estimated delivery date for your package has passed and your tracking information hasn't changed, please allow an additional day or two for the package to be delivered. Usually packages arrive on or shortly after the estimated delivery date.
Here are some reasons why tracking information may not be available:
Experts said the risk is low from imported goods because the virus cannot live more than a few hours outside a human host.
The Centers For Disease Control says on its website: "Because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures."
Dr Elizabeth McGraw, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics at Pennsylvania State University, said cardboard boxes are not a good breeding ground for germs such as the similar outbreaks of SARS and MERS.
Amazon is an American multinational technology company based in Seattle, WA that specializes in e-commerce, cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Amazon is the largest e-commerce market and cloud computing platform in the world in terms of revenue and market capitalization.

Members of ISIS are surrounded by the Kurds north of Raqqa, Syria. During their defense of what is their capital city, two fighters become outgunned and their position quickly becomes untenable. As they pick up their gear for a hasty retreat, the fighter is shot by a Kurdish solider and killed.
Shortly after that, his buddy is also killed. The GoPro was recovered by the Kurdish soldiers, and posted online. This is the type of footage that ISIS tries to hide from the masses, because it shows how quickly the are losing their own capital

About Judgment Day
Written by: Robert D Brinsmead
I quote from J. Harold Ellens, the author of 'Honest Faith for Our Time', pages 42-43:
"The reason to be a Christian is because it is more fun to live one's life in the freedom of God's unconditional, radical, and universal grace, than to life in the false fear that is blind to and neglects God's grace, acceptance and forgiveness. There are Bible students who are going to be disappointed that there is never going to be a second coming of Christ. There is never going to be a final judgment. There is never going to be a Judgment Day. Their disappointment will be the same as that of the early church when Jesus failed to return, the same as that of the bishops who created sick religion out of selective, threatening passages from the Synoptic Gospels ; the same disappointment that all false prophets have experienced when they predicted dramatic divine interventions that still had not happened when those poor fools were enclosed in their coffins…. In translation that means that all will see that God is not in the business of judging anyone, and is in the business of saving everyone, and that is all there is to it. The 'day of judgment', for each of us, is the moment each of us dies and goes to be with the Lord. The judgment for all human kind will be the same, without exception. 'Enter, thou, into the joy of the Lord.'
"Anyone who is disappointed in that has a sick spirituality, informed by bad theology, probably, in part, from the Apostles Creed. Such folk do not get it. Thanks be to God, the God of utter grace. Anyone who is relieved, and joyfully optimistic, about anticipating that universal salvation by God's grace, has a healthy biblical spirituality, informed by trust in God's unconditional grace. That is of God. That is of God's Holy Spirit."
"'Love your enemies and pray for those persecuting you, so that you may become sons of your Father, for he raises his sun on the bad and the good and rains; on the just and the unjust.' (Q. 6:27-28, 35c-d).This is a completely new revelation of God, which transcends the God who calls on you to retaliate (Matt 5:38-42). Jesus called on his followers to forsake the age-old legal tradition of a just revenge, in favour of his new revelation of an all-forgiving God (Q 10: 21-22)…This has led to Jesus revelation of a new kind of all-forgiving God, in whom we are invited to have complete trust." Pages 150-152
I will only comment that the forgoing kind of trust is not possible if we make God's love/grace conditional. Religion is all about spelling out the conditions. Religion therefore makes it all very iffy. If you do this, if you do that! Even if you say, "It is conditional only on faith," then you open a Pandora's box of uncertainties. If you say, it depends only on you accepting it, it is no different. You can then get bogged down in a 1000 arguments and uncertainties about what faith and accepting it means, and anyone with a trace of honest human introspection will start analysing and questioning the adequacy of his faith – or whatever the condition is supposed to be. So the Catholic versus the Protestant debate as to whether saving faith must first be formed with charity or is it formed with charity after it has justified?
Let me state it plainly that this unknown author falsely called Matthew for centuries of church tradition does not accept the new teaching of Jesus. He qualifies it and bandies it about; he puts this new wine into his old apocalyptic wineskins of a God who hates, a God who eventually throws his enemies into an eternal hell, and puts all this abominable stuff on the lips of Jesus who does not hesitate to damn those who don't agree with him to hell after raking them over with withering, bitter personal judgments.(See Matthew 23). No, Matthew does not accept this is a new teaching that is clear, contrary to the law of Moses, but he insists on qualifying what Jesus says until he makes it all very compatible with Moses and the OT God of vengeance. For this teaching of the Jesus taken from the Q refutes the ethic of the law of Moses (the eye for an eye, the hating of the enemy), but Matthew is a Jewish Christian who insists on having a Jesus who teaches that the law of Moses in every jot and title has to be kept, that Jesus comes to abrogate nothing, only to fulfil. And by "fulfilling the law" he does not mean what Paul means, that love is the fulfilling of the law in the sense it fulfils the essential spirit of it and therefore we do not try to observe the law as to its letter (i.e. no Sabbath keeping for the Galatians, no circumcision, no eating kosher, no yoke of 613 commandments. But Matthew's teaching, even contrary to Mark who has Jesus abrogate the law about unclean food, is that we must keep the law in letter as well in spirit.
This is why the words of Jesus from the Q have never had the impact they deserve – all because of Matthew's qualifying and even contradictory context. Because of other words he puts into the mouth of Jesus – like being in danger of hell fire, the unpardonable sin, and more – we have not been able to take the core words of Jesus about unconditional grace and love at face value. What the words are watered down to mean is this: Yes, for the here and now, God sends his rain and sunshine on the good and the bad (the Calvinists call this "common grace").
But ah, don't be fooled by these words of Jesus to think God will always act so kindly and gently toward his enemies. No sir! The time is coming, namely the holocaust of the Second Coming and Day of Judgment and Wrath when God will toss these people into the fire and fury of hell. You see, he only gives his enemies rain and sunshine now so that they will come to their senses, to repentance, to change their ways and accept Jesus as the only way to escape from the Day of Wrath and Anger. Matthew is a moralist who has Jesus use the carrot of grace and the stick of the fear of hell.
Jonathan Edwards of "Sinners in the hands of an angry God" fame knew of the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:38-48? How did he reconcile these words about loving our enemies as God does? Well, he cited the other qualifying, contradictory words of this apocalyptic interpreter of Jesus who covered up the core teaching of Jesus with so much dung that his readers have generally missed the diamond – So that's what Matthew did when he insisted on interpreting Jesus apocalyptically – and apocalyptic Matthew who has a couple of chapters devoted to apocalyptic is all about the intervention of divine vengeance.
So I am not going to be impressed if anyone starts quoting Matthew to me for the purposes of qualifying the radical words of Jesus about unconditional love. I reject and even detest this apocalyptic interpretation of Jesus.
I have done quite a bit of research on Muhammad and the sources of his thought, and I found that he was brought up by his mentor, Waraqa, in the Nazarene or 'Jewish Christian' faith. Waraqa's source of teaching in this Nazarene sect in Mecca was Jewish Scripture plus a Gospel called the Gospel According to the Hebrews. Although a copy of this Gospel has never been recovered as yet, scholars tell us that it was basically the Gospel of Matthew.
I have just finished re-reading the Quran. I would have to say that its most prominent teaching is a warning about Hell. It is on almost every page of Quran, and never lets up on this miserable, sadistic and grossly inhuman dirge about Hell and its endless torment for infidels. Where did Muhammad get this teaching? He did not get it from Moses and the OT prophets. But he got it straight from this Jewish Christian Gospel that is basically the Gospel of Matthew.
Matthew has more to say (or rather, his Jesus has more to say) about hell fire and torment for lost humanity than any other book in the entire Bible. Matthew, in the tradition of real Jewish apocalyptic, is fixated with hell, as shown by his repeated harping on "weeping and gnashing of teeth." Muhammad got this emphasis all right, and he ran hard with it on almost every page of the Quran. It is a message of vengeance awaiting those who don't believe what the messenger is teaching. History has clearly demonstrated that this is the kind of religion that has turned the believing community into instruments of terror to the rest of mankind.
So to repeat, I am not impressed by any quoting of what Matthew says to compromise Jesus core teaching of unconditional love.

Therefore, emergency response service needs to be available at every hour of the day, every day of the year, and respond immediately when signaled by alert devices.

Andrew Luck "Dazzled" DePauw Audience: Indianapolis Star
April 25, 2015
A headline on the front page of this morning's Indianapolis Star sports page, "Beardless and funny before a college crowd," recaps last night's visit to DePauw University by Andrew Luck.
"Luck dazzled a crowd of 1,400 at DePauw University on Friday, there as part of the Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture Series," writes Dana Hunsinger Benbow. "He spoke to students for a program called 'Creating Your Personal Game Plan for Success.'
"Luck made one thing crystal clear. He wasn't there to lecture these young people. 'As far as advice? I'm only 25,"'he said to the crowd, which quickly applauded. 'I don't have any advice.' "
Access the article at the newspaper's website.
Several television stations also covered the event, the fifth and final Ubben Lecture of the academic year at DePauw. Video is embedded below.
A summary of Andrew Luck's talk, including photos and a video montage, can be found here.

Ibanez CD10 - Delay Champ (in Box!)
Ibanez CD10 - Delay Champ - excellent condition incl. orig. Box
One of the most effective ways to fatten up the sound of an electronic instrument is to add depth and extension. The best way to do this is by using some sort of a delay. By utilizing slightly repeated, tight echoes, one can achieve a very rich and melodic tone. The CD10 is the perfect device for this. The CD10's analog circuitry mimes the vintage tonality of an old tape echo, yet because of its reliable hi-tech circuitry, the CD10 is able to work night after night with very few battery changes. The CD10 features delay times up to 300msec with low noise and a wide dynamic range giving you both economy and versatility without sacrificing performance. Normal and dry stereo outputs allow you to add even more dimension and depth to your delay effect.

text: Leiden.eden 0 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hey everyone! So for my upcomming IOP in 2 weeks, I am planning to do one on Wide Sargasso Sea. So far I managed to form a thesis of "The author Jean Rhys presents the theme of Alienation through exclusion of the characters in the novel based on race, wealth and status, appearance and shared cultural symbols and values." I chose this thesis primarily after going through interrelationships between the characters of the novel. Primarily, these factors in my thesis are brought through: poverty, appearance (creole). Alienation that leads to destructive acts in the novel - Anette marries mr mason driven by exclusion in society which leads to the loss of her son, home and sanity Daniel Cosway alienated from society obsessed to avenge his step father hurting antoinette's relationship through letters Antoinette is alienated from her own self by madness and her own husband chnages her name (identity affected). Overall, are there any pointers I should work on and I am open to any suggestions for a good hook and better way to incorporate my thesis with my evidence Thanks Reply Link to post Share on other sites

you're really a good webmaster. The web site loading speed is amazing.
It seems that you are doing any unique trick. Also,
The contents are masterpiece. you've done a wonderful job on this topic!
April 23, 2014 at 4:30 am
We absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of your post's to be precisely what I'm looking for.
Does one offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs?
I wouldn't mind publishing a post or elaborating on a number of the
subjects you write about here. Again, awesome web site!
May 26, 2014 at 1:12 pm
I must express my appreciation to you just for bailing me out of such a predicament.
As a result of surfing around through the world wide
web and obtaining suggestions which are not powerful, I was thinking my entire life was gone.
Living without the strategies to the difficulties you've resolved all through your main guide is a crucial case, as well as the kind that
could have negatively damaged my career if I
hadn't discovered your website. Your actual skills and
kindness in dealing with almost everything was tremendous.
I am not sure what I would have done if I had not come upon such a
solution like this. I can at this moment relish my future.
Thanks for your time so much for your reliable and results-oriented
help. I won't be reluctant to endorse your web blog to anybody
who needs recommendations about this issue.

Also a thing to mention is that an online business
administration course is designed for students to be able to effortlessly
proceed to bachelor degree courses. The Ninety credit
diploma meets the lower bachelor diploma requirements so when you earn your current associate of arts
in BA online, you will have access to the most up-to-date technologies in this particular field.
Several reasons why students need to get their associate degree in business is because they're interested in the field and want to get the general education and learning necessary ahead of jumping in to a bachelor education program.
Many thanks for the tips you provide with your blog.
September 6, 2014 at 1:25 am
Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest
writing a blog article or vice-versa? My website covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
September 24, 2014 at 8:19 am
Thanks for the strategies you discuss through
this blog. In addition, a lot of young women who seem to
become pregnant will not even try and get
medical health insurance because they are full of fearfulness they won't qualify.
Although some states at this point require that
insurers present coverage despite the pre-existing conditions.
Fees on these types of guaranteed plans are usually higher, but when with the high cost of medical care it may be any safer approach to take to protect your financial future.
September 29, 2014 at 10:12 pm
I found your blog site on google and check a few of your early
posts. Proceed to keep up the excellent operate.
I simply additional up your RSS feed to my MSN News Reader.

MT Numbers Game Gets the Green Light
Billings, MT – There's a green light for clean water in Montana rivers and streams. The Environmental Protection Agency has approved the state's rules meant to limit pollution of rivers and streams by coal bed methane production.
Tongue River rancher Mark Fix says it's been a long time coming, and he says the limits on sodium and other pollutants are reasonable.
"There's lots of room to keep the water clean and protect the ranchers and farmers, as well as develop methane."
Fix, a member of the Northern Plains Resource Council, says high sodium levels in waterways used for irrigation can harm crops by changing the chemistry of farm soils. He believes that, now that the standards are in place, the enforcement piece needs to come into play.
"That's the next step, to just make sure that water quality is kept good."
The methane industry opposed the standards initially, arguing it would be too expensive to install equipment to control the contaminants. It took the EPA almost two years to approve state rules.

It's January. My birthday is in two days. Being from Fargo, I'm used to bitter cold, icy wind, snow, frost, and lots of sunshine all winter. Here in the Hudson River Valley, there is very little snow on the ground, the temperature hangs out around 32, and the days alternate between dry and wetly raw, sunny and overcast.
I never thought myself affected by seasonal affective disorder (SAD), but I've been feeling the lack of sunshine since the move out here. Maybe it's because we had such a dark, rainy summer that literally melted into fall.
I was hoping for a sunny day today (like yesterday) so that the boy and I would have nice weather for thrift storing and a bit of a walk. Instead, the entire sky is the same shade of white/grey. *sigh* It went from spring-like, to dreary January in a single day.
When you think of your ideal place on earth, is there sunshine? There is in mine. My ideal place on earth is somewhere with open spaces (so either back home on the prairies, up at the boy's parents' on the high edges of the Mohawk River Valley, or somewhere here in the Hudson Highlands), gently rolling hills, Some trees, but not too many, babbling little brooks, creeks, and rivers hidden in the grass and tumbling over rocks in the woods. A cape cod or Tudor-style cottage (you know, the pointy, '30s ones) with a big vegetable, garden, lots of old-fashioned flowers, and a red or yellow barn with a single jersey cow, a couple of beef cattle, and chickens or ducks for good eggs. Lilac hedges, fruit trees, and a lively sable and/or blue merle sheltie and possibly a Burmese mountain dog (the boy loves shelties, I love big dogs). And sunshine, lots of sunshine broken by blustery, rainy fall days, violent summer thunderstorms, fairy snow, and gentle spring rains.
*sigh* Now that's got me dreaming! Ah well. Best thing to do on a dreary day.
I think I understand now why ancient peoples worshipped the sun. How could you not? Even though it's the earth that does the turning, it's the sunshine that determines the seasons and the growing season. It's the sun that gives warmth and growth and life. I never appreciated the sun so much back home because it was always around, giving light, if not always warmth. I miss it out here. I will have to go salve my soul with gorgeous, bargain vintage glass hunting and a piece or two of costume jewelry. : ) Off to get ready!
January 24, 2010 9:43 AM
Winter really gets to us, too. It's been triply hard this year because of renovation stress, and the fact that I've been sick for five weeks now. Blah.
Once I read that the single most important predictor of the subjective happiness of a population isn't per capita income, government stability, availability of goods and education, etc… it's living in a warm climate. Amen to that.

Oregon Aerial Video - Cheerleading
Another great event in the books for SkiBerg, LLC. This time around we headed out to Portland, Oregon to capture some tantalizing aerial videos and photos for your "visual taste buds". PacWest Nationals was held in the Oregon Convention Center which you'll see in just about all of the aerial photos and videos here. What a great city! We tested some of the range limits of our Inspire 1, flying across the river to get some aerial looks at the downtown scene. No problems with the hardware! This drone is legit!

Register now for KMWorld Connect and join us virtually November 16-19!
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a provider of digital imaging solutions, has launched the new Océ PlotWave 345 and Océ PlotWave 365 large format printing systems. The new offerings from Canon are suited for small and medium workgroups that rely on high quality documents in their workflow, while helping to save time and energy costs.
These systems were developed for users who require on-demand print, copy, and scan functionality, with minimal system interaction and a high level of ease-of-use, according to Toyo Kuwamura, executive vice president and general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. These users need systems that can easily be placed and integrated into their workgroup but also address the increasing mandate for advanced security features and hardening such as electronic file shredding, IPsec, a removable hard disk, and disc encryption.
According to Canon, the new systems can be used to retrieve files from the cloud using a smartphone or computer, or send a print request to the printer via Océ Publisher Mobile. The new Océ PlotWave models make it possible to print from and scan to a folder on a user's workstation with LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) integration.
In addition, the large 10.4-inch Océ ClearConnect color touchscreen interface is designed to operate like a tablet or smartphone.
To help safeguard intellectual property and associated documents, the new Océ PlotWave 345/365 systems offer options to make the printing environment more secure. They provide secure login or smart card support to prevent prints from remaining on the printer where unauthorized people could potentially retrieve information. Confidential information is further protected with a Windows 8 embedded platform and the Océ POWERsync controller, supporting security features.
Canon says the Océ PlotWave 345/365 systems also meet the needs of the professional CAD environment for high quality technical documents. Océ Image Logic technology enables scans on the first attempt without relying on conventional trial and error threshold management.
The new Océ PlotWave Systems are now available and will be sold through Canon Solutions America and its authorized dealers.

Volume 32 Issue 1-2 March 2011 pp 87-90 Part 2. Blazar Observations in Infrared and Optical
The optical variability of 29 flat spectrum radio quasars in SDSS Stripe 82 region are investigated by using DR7 released multi-epoch data. All FSRQs show variations with overall amplitude ranging from 0.24 mag to 3.46 mag in different sources. About half of FSRQs show a bluer-when-brighter trend, which is commonly observed for blazars. However, only one source shows a redder-when-brighter trend, which implies it is rare in FSRQs. In this source, the thermal emission may be responsible for the spectral behaviour.

The Tilt between Acretion Disk and Stellar Disk
Shiyin Shen Zhengyi Shao Minfeng Gu
The orientations of the accretion disk of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the stellar disk of its host galaxy are both determined by the angular momentum of their forming gas, but on very different physical environments and spatial scales. Here we show the evidence that the orientation of the stellar disk is correlated with the accretion disk by comparing the inclinations of the stellar disks of a large sample of Type 2 AGNs selected from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS, York

What Governs Lorentz Factors of Jet Components in Blazars?
Xinwu Cao Bo Chai Ming Zhou Minfeng Gu
We use a sample of radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) with measured black hole masses to explore the jet formation mechanisms in these sources. We find a significant correlation between black hole mass and the bulk Lorentz factor of the jet components for this sample, while no significant correlation is present between the bulk Lorentz factor and the Eddington ratio. Recent investigations suggested that the most super-massive black holes in elliptical galaxies have on average higher spins than the black holes in spiral galaxies. The correlation between black hole mass and bulk Lorentz factor of the jet components found in this work implies that the motion velocity of the jet components is probably governed by the black hole spin. The faster moving jets are magnetically accelerated by the magnetic fields threading the horizon of more rapidly rotating black holes.

Spectral Variability in Radio-Loud Quasars
The spectral variability of a sample of 44 Flat-Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) and 18 Steep-Spectrum Radio Quasars (SSRQs) in SDSS stripe 82 region is investigated. Twenty-five of 44 FSRQs show a bluer-when-brighter trend (BWB), while only one FSRQ shows a redder-when-brighter trend, which is in contrast to our previous results. Eight of 18 SSRQs display a BWB. We found an anticorrelation between the Eddington ratio and the variability amplitude in the 𝑟 band for SSRQs, which is similar to that in radio-quiet AGNs. This implies that the thermal emission from the accretion disk may be responsible for the variability in SSRQs. The spectral variability from SDSS multi-epoch spectroscopy also shows BWB for several SSRQs, which is consistent with that from photometry.

Spectral Variability of Quasar SDSS J030639.57+000343.1
In a sample of 60 quasars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with at least six-epoch spectroscopy, we investigated the variability of emission lines and continuum luminosity. In this paper, we present the results of SDSS J030639.57+000343.1. We found a strong anticorrelation between the continuum luminosity at 5100 Å and the spectral index, implying a bluer-when-brighter trend. The luminosity of the broad 𝐻𝛼 line is in proportion to the continuum luminosity at 5100 Å. Correspondingly, we did not find a strong correlation between the equivalent width of broad 𝐻𝛼 and the continuum luminosity, i.e. no Baldwin effect of broad 𝐻𝛼 in this source.

How do you treat the throat when you have tonsillitis?
Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils located right at the entrance to the throat.
Their main job is to hold back and quickly neutralise potentially dangerous particles that may be found in the air, water or food and that enter the oral cavity, as well as to alert the body about contracting an infection and the need to trigger the necessary immune reactions.
The tonsils filter out viruses, bacteria, fungi and minute particles of dust. Pathogenic micro-organisms can cause the inflammation of these valiant defenders of the oral pharynx, causing tonsillitis.
It is important to detect the signs of tonsillitis early on and consult a doctor. In spite of the fact that tonsillitis does not cause particularly severe pain in the throat, unpleasant symptoms, such as a sore throat, can last for a relatively long time. Other signs include: persistent reddening of the throat and a slightly raised temperature.
If treatment is not forthcoming, the illness can assume a chronic form, causing complications including: rheumatic disorders, various diseases of the respiratory organs, purulent conditions in the soft tissues, inflammation of the meninges, etc. Some serious complications can only be treated by surgical intervention, which is why it is very important to follow all the doctor's recommendations during the early stages of the illness and to use combined treatment.
ASC No. J147P011420B, J149P011420B
If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
