That's Nuts!
Nuts are nutrient-dense foods rich in healthy fats, fibre, vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and other favorable bioactive substances.
Yet because of their calorie density many people avoid, or strictly limit their nut consumption to limit potential weight gain.
If you review the data on nuts - avoiding them is nuts!
Two large prospective studies in the US with almost 120,000 people followed for 15 to 30 years showed that people who ate nuts seven or more times per week had a 20% lower death rate than those who avoided nuts altogether. (NEJM 369;21)
Nut eaters had lower rates of death across most major causes including heart disease, cancer and respiratory disease.
The benefits were similar for both tree nuts and peanuts.
Concerns about weight gain were not substantiated, in fact across both these cohorts, nut eaters gained less weight over time.
The benefits of nuts have been seen in other major trials:
Observational studies and other clinical trials have suggested that eating nuts will decrease coronary artery disease and improve key lipid biomarkers.
Yet more studies have shown improvements in other key biomarkers indicating benefits including:
All of these benefits for something that tastes so good.
In my thinking, "you would have to be nuts to avoid nuts!"
Consider this: rates of obesity continue to grow at epidemic levels while at the same time weight loss is big business ($68B and growing). If what the weight loss industry promoted actually worked, wouldn't it be reasonable to think that obesity rates should be declining?
The problem is that dominant approaches to weight loss are one size fits all, quick fixes known as diets. Most diets are temporary and highly restrictive programs of eating pursued purely for the purpose of losing weight and are unfortunately damaging exercises in futility.
Research shows that dieting is ineffective for long term weight loss and maintenance of weight. Most people who lose weight by dieting will regain it after a year. Worse, many regain more weight than they ever lost in the first place. This pattern of weight loss followed by weight gain has been termed "yo-yo dieting" and has been linked to increased risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Contributing to these poor results are the abundance of fad diets, overly restrictive and often lacking in essential nutrients. Requiring massive will power, these diets may result in weight loss, but since the behaviour required is not sustainable the rebound in weight is swift. Inevitably, the dieter returns to the poor behaviours that led to the initial weight gain in the first place.
Finally, these restrictive diets can take the pleasure away from eating and lead to lifelong disordered eating.
If you are going to lose weight and keep it off - you have to address the root causes of weight loss and address the lifestyle behaviors that resulted in weight gain.
Rather than restriction, the initial focus of any sustainable and effective approach should be on improving the quality of food in the first place.
Healthy eating is all about eating and enjoying real food - not counting calories, points or tracking macros.
But what is real food?
There is now clear evidence that eating processed foods leads to increased food consumption and weight gain. Further, when diets do work, they often do so by having people shift from refined, processed, packaged and fast foods to real, whole foods (for more on this here is a previous post).
Along with making the shift to whole food eating, other keys to losing weight for the long term are:
Small, sustainable changes go a long way!
Finally, understanding your weight loss in context of your history and current health should come first. It is essential that you work with your physician to understand if there are any other potential causes for your weight gain - especially hormonal, metabolic or inflammatory abnormalities.
At Wellness Garage, we offer a medically directed lifestyle program for weight management.
All medical visits are covered by MSP, for those with a BMI over 30 or a BMI > 27, with an obesity related diagnosis.
Our program leverages a personalized, multidisciplinary lifestyle behavior change approach - your care team will consist of a physician, nutritionist, exercise professional and health coach who will get to know you from multiple perspectives and work with you to make lifelong habit changes.

A very compelling read from a New York Times op/ed, making the point that we have made previously on our blog: today's chronic diseases have their origin in the evolutionary mismatch between our current environment and behaviors and what our bodies evolved to be.
In this article, we learn how evolution set out to protect us from starvation, infections and injuries leaving us vulnerable to atherosclerosis - the disease process underlying heart disease.
At Wellness Garage - we take a precision health approach to atherosclerosis prevention, treatment and reversal, by working with our members through a structured change process: Assess, Change Behaviors, Re-assess and Adjust.

Sleep apnea is one of the most serious medical conditions that often goes undiagnosed.
It is estimated that up to 30% of Canadians suffer from it, yet only 6.4% have recognized the diagnosis.
What is it?
Sleep apnea is a serious condition in which a person's breathing is repeatedly interrupted during the night. During normal sleep, air moves in an unobstructed, regular rhythm, through the upper airway, the throat and into and out of the lungs. With obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), airway blockages, usually from soft tissue collapse, prevent the normal regular breathing rhythm
What are the symptoms?
The main symptoms of OSA are
However, some people have no symptoms or may not recognize that they have symptoms.
Other symptoms may include one or more of the following:
Perhaps the best way to determine risk is the use of the STOP-BANG questionnaire which uses a series of questions and results of physical measurements to calculate the risk for sleep apnea in adults aged 18 and older.
Snoring – Do you snore loudly (loud enough to be heard through closed doors)?
Tired – Do you often feel tired, fatigued or sleepy during the daytime?
Observed – Has anyone observed you stop breathing or choking/gasping during your sleep?
Pressure – Do you have or are being treated for high blood pressure?
Body mass index (BMI) – Body mass index more than 35kg/m2?
Age – Age older than 50?
Neck circumference – Neck size 17 inches or larger for males or 16 inches or larger for females?
Gender – Male?
Positive answers to the above questions are then used to determine risk:
Low risk – Yes to 0 to 2 questions
Intermediate risk – Yes to 3 to 4 questions
High risk – Yes to 5 to 8 questions
How common is it?
In 2017, 6.4% of Canadians self-reported a diagnosis of sleep apnea through the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) - this was more than double the rate reported in 2009.
In the US, using the broadest criteria is estimated that 20-30% of men and 10-15% of women have sleep apnea.
In all likelihood, sleep apnea is under-diagnosed - using the STOP-BANG risk tool, the CHMS found that nearly one-third (30%) of Canadian adults were considered to be at intermediate or high risk for sleep apnea - 15% were high risk and 15% were moderate risk.
Rates are increasing along with the rates of obesity.
What are the risk factors?
What happens if it is left untreated?
The initial consequences of untreated sleep apnea are daytime sleepiness and difficulty concentrating results in increased errors and accidents. People with severe sleep apnea are two to three times more likely to have a motor vehicle accident - this represents an impact on morbidity and mortality that is similar to the cardiovascular sequelae of OSA.
Over time untreated sleep apnea increase risk for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, heart attack and stroke.
People with OSA have higher rates Insulin resistance and Type II Diabetes. This association is partly manifested by the shared risk factor of obesity, but also appears to be independent. In one study, patients with severe OSA had a 30% higher risk of diabetes even after controlling for age, obesity, pre-existing cardiovascular disease.
The physiological mechanisms underlying this risk are likely related to the increase in oxidative stress caused by lack of oxygen as well as activation of the sympathetic nervous system (with the insulin resistance effects of adrenaline and cortisol).
For patients with existing metabolic syndrome - OSA is associated with poorer metabolic biomarkers: increased glucose, triglycerides, inflammatory markers, and overall increased cardiovascular risk.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) - given the increased risk of metabolic syndrome with OSA and the shared risk factors between NAFLD and metabolic dysfunction - OSA appears to contribute to the development and severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), independent of shared risk factors such as obesity.
Mortality - Severe OSA increases the risk of death by 2-3 time independent of other risk factors - interestingly an increased risk of mortality does not appear to be present for untreated mild OSA. What isn't completely clear is how treatment of severe OSA affects the risk of mortality.
Once suspected due to witnessed apneic episodes, loud snoring, daytime sleepiness, resistant hypertension, or ineffective sleep - the next step is to get a sleep assessment.
The gold standard is the polysomnogram - done overnight in a sleep lab (and requiring a referral from your physician), it measures breathing effort and airflow, blood oxygen level, heart rate and rhythm, duration of the various stages of sleep, body position, and movement of the arms/legs.
A more accessible alternative not requiring physician referral is a Level III sleep study - using portable devices that can be used at home.
Is it reversible?
This depends primarily on the underlying cause of the sleep apnea - if the primary cause is obesity then weight loss can improve symptoms and lead to a cure.
Brain damage caused by severe sleep apnea is reversible. A 2017 neuroimaging study is the first to show that white matter damage caused by severe obstructive sleep apnea can be reversed by continuous positive airway pressure therapy.
There is high quality evidence that in most adults positive airway pressure therapy reduces the frequency of respiratory events during sleep, decreases daytime sleepiness, improves systemic blood pressure (BP), lowers the risk of crashes, improves erectile dysfunction, and improves quality of life across a range of disease severities.
Unfortunately to date there have been no studies that have demonstrated that treatment improves mortality.

Longmont police have released the name of the suspect who was arrested after a Thursday morning shooting on Meadow Drive.
Navarone Allen, 27, of Longmont, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault and carrying a concealed weapon. He is being held at Boulder County Jail.
Police responded to the area of 21st Avenue and Meadow Drive just before 11 a.m. and found a 33-year-old Longmont man who had been shot in the abdomen. He was taken to Longmont United Hospital and released around 2:30 p.m., according to a news release from Cmdr. Joel Post.
The suspect, Allen, was taken into custody at 19th Avenue and Meadow Street, about two blocks from the shooting scene. Post said police recovered a handgun they believe was used in the incident, though he wouldn't say if it was recovered at the scene or if it was confiscated from Allen when he was arrested.
Allen was previously convicted for possession of drug paraphernalia, a Class 2 petty offense, in Weld County in 2011, according to Colorado courts records. He has no previous misdemeanor or felony convictions in Colorado.
A neighbor told the Times-Call she heard the shooting from inside her Meadow Drive town home.
Leah Carpenter, 26, was upstairs
when she heard what sounded like people shouting outside. She went to the window and saw a man, with his back turned to her, pull out a gun and shoot another man. The victim grabbed his abdomen and the other man left the scene.
"It almost looked like they were playing," Carpenter said, adding it was like they were being playful teenagers.
Then, the victim fell to his knees and yelled, "I'm shot, I'm shot! Somebody help me, I'm shot!"
"That's when it kinda hit me that it was real," she said.
Carpenter said before police arrived, neighbors rushed to the victim to help him after he called out. Emergency personnel responded shortly after. Carpenter's husband, Robert Carpenter, said he saw the victim walk to the ambulance when it arrived, adding there wasn't much blood at the scene.
Meadow Drive was closed for a few hours as police investigated the scene. A few pieces of clothing were lying on the street and a red pickup truck that may have been involved in the incident was towed away.
Leah Carpenter said she's still in shock from seeing the shooting.
"It's crazy when it happens on your street," she said. The couple have lived there for more than two years and said they haven't seen anything like this happen before.
Longmont police had talked with the neighborhood over the summer, Leah Carpenter said, and told them that, while surrounding areas experienced crime, their street seemed to be safer.
While she said it's hard to know if this incident is an one-off or indicative of something more, either way she said "it isn't comforting."
Others in the area also said they were surprised to see this happen in their neighborhood, which is littered with signs warning criminals it is a "Longmont Neighborhood Watch Community."
Kelli Shannon, 54, has lived in a town home near the scene for about one year and said the area is "really quiet."
But on Thursday morning, she heard voices outside her window while she was working, "and then a pop," she said. A few minutes later, sirens were going off in her community.
"When I went outside to get the garbage cans, I could smell the gunpowder," Shannon said. "Then the police told me to go back inside."

This Post is storyboard Idea for my Client Project for WOW! done in Pen:
Taking the Prototype designs that I have created I have put together a storyboard to show the these designs in use for the animation. The first three frames are to show a plane flying across the sky with the camera eventually backing out to represent Amy Johnson and her legacy as a pilot. Most people when shown this do recognise it as a pilot and do recognise the pilot as Amy Johnson. The next three frames are of a book that starts to open before flying of into the distance, the good thing is that most people new that this was a famous female author from Hull but failed to figure who said author was, so next I might have to put a book title on the book that Winifred Holtby is associated with. The Next three frames are off a fishing trawler which successfully seen is linked to the trawler incident and Lillian Billoca.
The first three frames in this image are a thumb tack and a sewing needle having a loose bit of thread pushed through. While some people recognized this as a connection to Emily Clapham, not many did so I will have to go back to the drawing board with this logo design. The next three Frames are from my Jean Bishop design with people dropping money into the donation cup and this design was recognized to have some form of connection to Jean but my Tutor Janis said I should go back to the drawing board with this design.
The next three frames were the worst to be recognized with a modern phone been rung, the reason for the failure was that I didn't take into account that the design had a link to Maureen Lipman but at the same time due to me using a modern design it didn't since she is only associated with old fashion phone because of her advert Ology for BT. The next three frames were a failure with a microphone showing a screwball when it was actually supposed to represent the stand up comedian Debra Stephenson. The final three frames in this image was a cowboy hat and music notes appearing around it randomly in an attempt to show Norma Waterson who was involved with Country music I will need to go back to the drawing board with this design.
The last three frames before the end frame failed to be recognized as a connection Tracey Thorn since the choker hardly had a connection to her so this part of the animation is failure due to the audience not been able to link this to her.

Top 5 Tips for Successful Trading
Bitcoin along with other digital currencies, AKA cryptocurrency or just crypto, are causing much controversy within the financial world. This makes crypto appealing for both valid (for instance, supply chain transactions between a business and its sellers ) and prohibited (laundering of cash from drug trades ) use. Independent of its intended goal, cryptocurrency has turned into a vehicle for extreme speculation among investors and traders. The worth of a Bitcoin jumped to almost $20,000 in overdue 2017 before falling back radically. Enormous daily swings in cost, inducing fortunes to be lost and won, are typical to the majority of cryptocurrencies. Though some financial specialists see great possibility in cryptocurrency, others believe it reflects an extremely inflated advantage very similar to other bubbles of yesteryear. We wanted to hear exactly what the fiscal pros had to say, so we asked them to consider in seeing their opinions and guidance about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
1. Robert Lons
Co-founder of BitcoinWebHosting.net
"Bitcoin is an interesting idea, but I think their mechanism for regulating the currency supply is fundamentally flawed. Because the Bitcoin supply doesn't increase in proportion to the growth or use of Bitcoins, there is a deflationary effect, creating an incentive for people to hoard Bitcoins rather than spend them. Gresham's Law in economics suggests that for a complementary currency to be successful, it needs to have an inflationary effect that exceeds inflation in the national currency."
2. Alex Zorach
Community Currency Developer, Founder of Merit Exchange LLC
"At this point, Bitcoin is neither a legitimate form of currency nor an investment. Until it gains widespread acceptance and price stability, it will never be a mainstream method of payment. And from an investing perspective, Bitcoin's uncertain future and the lack of any meaningful fundamental metrics make it a speculation at best, and gambling at worst."
3. Anton Ivanov
Founder of DreamsCashTrue.com
"The biggest challenges that Bitcoin currently faces are flow of funds, a lack of market makers, and outsized exchange rate risk. It's nearly impossible to move USD in and out of the largest trading platform (MtGox) and, as a result, there are very few significant market makers participating in the exchange. Absent reliable providers of a liquid marketplace, volatility will remain high. This presents major difficulties for businesses and individuals that might otherwise accept Bitcoin as payment for goods and service in forecasting Bitcoin exchange rate risk. Bitcoin can't be a viable long-term currency unless, and until, it is more broadly accepted as an exchange medium for items of real value (i.e. these goods and services). These challenges are interconnected and the current regulatory assault is the single most important aggravating factor to these circumstances."
4. Andrew Magliochetti
Managing Director, Maroon Capital Group
"Most finance pros are divided on Bitcoin's usefulness, value, legality, and whether it's a currency or commodity or something else. But one thing we can all agree on is, while it's much safer (and cheaper!) for a merchant to receive a payment in Bitcoin over credit card, only very few merchants in the world accept it, which is keeping the awareness, price, and usefulness of Bitcoin low. So, until accepting Bitcoin becomes ubiquitous, where purchasers and vendors won't ever need to exchange it for fiat currency because they can spend it in most places, Bitcoin users need to continually exchange their coins for $USD or look for services to make spending coins as easy as swiping a credit card."
5. George Burke
Former CMO of cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.St. Founder of payment startup FreshPay.
"Bitcoin is a scam that needlessly hurts the environment: 1) Round trip trades inflate prices and make it look more liquid a market, according to one of the founders of RSA. 2) The European Central Bank says it's a risky system for its users and could easily become illiquid. 3) The Electronic Frontier Foundation won't accept Bitcoin for all the legal concerns associated with it from the stamp act, to money laundering, to tax evasion. 4) The system is prone to theft given the file sharing nature and this has occurred several times. 5) Computers processing Bitcoin transactions use over $100,000 worth of electricity everyday."

A football player in Central Florida has come forward with strong allegations that he was bullied by a member of the school's football coaching staff to the point where he felt he had to leave the team.
As reported by Orlando ABC affiliate WFTV, the parent of an undisclosed football player at Oviedo filed a complaint with the school, citing aggressive name calling and derogatory terms that so upset the teen he left the program altogether.
WFTV reached out to Oviedo head football coach Matt Dixon, but the coach refused to divulge which member of his staff was under investigation, or even whether there were multiple coaches implicated in the probe.
It also remains unknown whether the comments in question were a one-off failed coaching technique or, possibly, part of a larger hazing culture.
There's absolutely no proof that the allegedly abusive commentary was hazing, and no other athletes have stepped forward with additional complaints, but the ongoing investigation into the actions of the Oviedo coaching could clear that up. While there is no firm timeline for that investigation, there are still three months before Oviedo's 2018 campaign kicks off.

|THOUGHTS|Feeling Sad
Feeling Sad
We are humans, of course we are capable of feeling sad. Especially if you have a particular reason of feeling sad. Like did you lose a bet? Or did you lose a pet? It doesn't even connect, but it rhymed haha! But have you ever experienced just feeling sad and you don't even know the reason why? You try to pinpoint why, but it just hits you, like it's coming from your gut. Weird I know. Sometimes I feel like does this come by being a woman? You know hormones hormones. Or is that just an excuse? One that we use more often than we want to.
As a Christian, I know for sure this is not related to the existential question all human beings have. For I know my purpose and calling in life. And I'm not just saying that. And I know I am saved through faith in Jesus Christ. At least I am sure my sadness is not related to that empty feeling of not having a relationship with Jesus fills up.
Sometimes, I point this sadness of missing my family- especially missing what I had before. Missing my complete family and having the security of having them by my side always. I lost my dad 4 years ago, and the pain is still resonating in my heart. I was a Daddy's girl too, and I was the apple of his eye. Losing that is a blunt to my ego. Then having my Mom look for happiness in another person rather than being content of having me also took another swing at my ego. Okay, this topic is getting out of my original topic.
This sadness I feel I'm not taking lightly as well. But what I know helps me during these times is being thankful. I think of the things I have now that I didn't have before instead of thinking what I used to have and don't have now anymore. I think of the experiences I have now and the wisdom I've earned from them. I thank my Father in Heaven for His faithfulness. For restoring ruined relationships, for daily provisions, for friends. And then somehow, I feel better.
Sometimes the things in this world just overwhelm us with the feeling of insecurity I guess. But going back to the basics—going back to who God is and who I am in Him positions me and reminds me of things I hope for and the things that are true.
So, whoever you are, whatever situation you are in, and whatever feelings you have now, let me tell you there's always something better for you, and I'm not preaching but stating the fact that God is always there for you.
Remember when you're starting to feel sad, start counting your blessings and be grateful. 🙂
Have a grand day beautiful! 🙂

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. Feeling sad and not being able to identify the reason is the worst. When I feel like that, writing my feelings down helps me figure out what's causing them and makes me feel better.
I know you put this up a while ago, but I hope you've been feeling happier!

What is a luxury items? Everybody has its own definition of it. Here, let's focus on Smartphone and especially the IPhone. Are smartphones luxury items?
What does a brand need to be called a luxury brand?
Not every brand can be positioned as luxury. In order to be considered as a luxury item, brands need some particular attributes: a high price, best quality, rarity, history, recognition signs and symbolism (non exhaustive list).
Apple is taking a turn in their strategy becoming a luxury company. Apple's positioning is inspired by luxury brand. First we can look at the high price of a « simple product ». Secondly Apple hired people from luxury brands such as Burberry or Saint Laurent. At the beginning of 2014, Angela Arhendts CEO of Burberry has joined the company. A few months earlier it was Paul Deneve who joined Apple.
Third, with their stores, their packaging they borrowed the luxury codes to apply them for Apple. Finally Apple had launched some exclusive and luxurious product such as the Gold Swarovski IPhone 5, The Continental IPhone 5 Rose Gold Collection, the Gold Superstar IPhone 5 and the Stuart Hughes Black Diamond IPhone 5.

President Donald Trump and many congressional Republicans believe the new GOP health care bill will cover more people and cost less money. But a new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that many Americans are skeptical.
Nearly half the country thinks the GOP plan will increase the number of uninsured and raise prices for consumers who have to buy coverage on their own, according to the poll from the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation.
"What people really want out of their healthcare system is lower costs," said Mollyann Brodie, who oversees polling for the foundation. "This is a warning sign that the public's early impression of this is that it is more likely to raise costs."
The poll — which follows release of the Republican legislation last week — may signal more challenges for the GOP, which is struggling to develop a replacement for the 2010 healthcare law, often called Obamacare.
Newsmax.com broke down the poll numbers like this:
On the number of people who would have coverage:
- 48 percent said it would decrease.
- 30 percent believe it would stay the same.
- 18 percent said it would increase.
About the cost of coverage for those who don't get insurance through work:
- 48 percent think the cost would increase.
- 23 percent think the cost would decrease.
Breaking down that result by party affiliation, more Democrats believe coverage will decrease:
- 68 percent of Democrats
- 49 percent of independents.
- 22 percent of Republicans.
When asked whether people believed those with pre-existing conditions would be protected under the AHCA:
- 32 percent say fewer people would be covered.
- 45 percent say about the same number would be.
- 15 percent say more would be covered.
Regarding the future of Obamacare, 51 percent say it should not be repealed, while 45 percent say it should.
CNN.com added, "Among those favoring repeal, 24% want Congress to come up with a plan to replace it before they act to change it, but 19% want an immediate vote like House Speaker Paul Ryan argues is necessary."
The poll also asked people for their opinion regarding the defunding of planned parenthood. According to the Washington Examiner, "About 75 percent oppose cutting off funds to the women's health and abortion provider, while 22 percent favor it." In its own key findings synopsis, the Kaiser Family Foundation wrote –
Majorities of both Republican women and Republican men support continuing current funding.
Share your thoughts on this latest poll and whether you believe it will play any role in the success or failure of the new American Health Care Act (AHCA). Do you think the numbers are representative of the sentiment here in Arizona? Let us know why or why not. Creating dialogue around the major heath issues making headlines is another way we are working toward our long-term goal of one day making Arizona the Healthiest State in the Nation!

A few years ago I was up in the attic of our old house putting in plywood on the ceiling joists. The idea was to make a surface where I could stack all the stuff that we don't use, but for some reason feel compelled to keep. So, I went up there with a few sheets of plywood and a bunch of nails and a hammer. Normally, when I am in the midst of a project like this, I kinda get in a mindless rhythm as I work.
So, I was holding the nails with my left hand and hammering with my right. Then, when I was nearly done, I hit my left thumb with the hammer. I shook it off and went to grab the nail again, but when I did, I saw that my hand and the nail were covered with blood. So, I finished up in the attic and then went downstairs to wash off my hand and bandage it. I was hoping that I could get everything covered up before my wife noticed.
But, she caught me as I was washing the blood off and told me that I needed to go to the doctor. I argued with her for a little bit, but I had separated about a quarter of the flesh of my thumb from the rest of my thumb; it was hanging off to the side. So, I figured she was right, and we went to the emergency room at the hospital a few minutes away. They cleaned the wound really well and put in stitches to hold my thumb together until it healed. They removed the bacteria and put me back together. I later took the stitches out myself, but that's a story for another time.
At any rate, when I was hurt and injured, I went to the hospital to see the doctors. I didn't go to the dentist. I didn't go to the eye doctor. I didn't go wander around downtown asking random people if they could help me. I went to the hospital, because I knew they could heal me. The hospital is the place that is marked for healing.
In the Gospel reading from Mark 5:21-43, we see people in a similar situation. First, there is Jairus, one of the rulers of the synagogue in the area of Galilee where Jesus is visiting. He has some authority and is in a high position in the community. But, his only daughter is dying. No doubt he's already tried the doctors and whatever other methods he could find, yet she's at the point of death, and has no hope. So, Jairus comes to Jesus and falls at his feet and implores Jesus to come lay his hands on his daughter, "so that she may be made well and live."
So, Jairus knows where to go. He knows from whom to seek healing. He goes to Jesus. He doesn't go to one of the fortune tellers; he doesn't go to one of the astrologers; he doesn't go to one of the Greek temples; he doesn't trust in his own works of the Law; he goes to Jesus. He, as ruler of the synagogue, falls down before Jesus in the hope of receiving mercy. And Jesus goes with him to see his daughter.
But on the way, a woman is also coming to Jesus. She has another ailment, which the text simply calls a discharge of blood; she's had this for twelve years, the same age as Jairus' daughter. This ailment would have prevented this woman from having children and made her ceremonially unclean in the community. So, you see a contrast here between Jairus, who is a well-respected member of the community – a ruler in the synagogue – who has a daughter – and this woman, who has a condition which makes her an outcast and unable to have children.
Now, this woman has tried "many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse." She was probably embarrassed about her condition, because she tries to hide in the crowd and touch Jesus without him seeing her. She isn't really even supposed to be there, because she could make everyone else unclean. So, she doesn't want to ask Jesus for help; she simply trusts that if she touches him, she will be made well.
So, she secretly touches his garment and is, in fact, made well. Jesus, though, knew someone had touched him and began to ask and look around to see who it was. The woman then "came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth." Jesus said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."
Like Jairus, this woman knew where to go to be healed. She knew who could defeat decay, just as Jairus knew who could defeat death.
After healing her, Jesus and his disciples arrive with Jairus at his house. But, people come out from the house to tell Jairus that his daughter is dead; there's no need to bother Jesus; there's no hope left for this daughter. But, Jesus overhears and says, "Do not fear, only believe." Then, he takes Peter, James, and John into the house. There are people crying and wailing, and Jesus tells them, "Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping."
The people laugh at Jesus when he says this. His words sound preposterous to them. Of course the child is dead; they see it with their own eyes. Who is this that thinks she's sleeping? But, Jesus sends everyone outside except for the girl's parents and Peter, James, and John. And he takes the girl by the hand and says to her, "Little girl, I say to you, arise." And upon his word, the girl immediately got up and walked, and everyone was amazed. Jesus has raised her from death.
There's a lot going on in these verses. Jairus and the woman afflicted with the discharge of blood both are without hope. Even though they come from different walks of life and different social circles, they are united in that they share the common fate of humanity – decay and death. But, they know one person to whom they can go. They know that their hopes rest in Jesus, and they are united in that faith.
We see in Jesus the power of God made manifest, because he is God in the flesh. He is Lord over creation and has the power to restore it. Jesus is our hope when there seems to be no hope, because he is God, and God not only promises restoration, but is able and faithful to bring it.
Now – to shift gears slightly for a moment – in the Old Testament, the prophet Jeremiah wrote the book of Jeremiah where he foretold Judah's destruction by the Babylonians. He spoke the Word of the Lord that declared that the Babylonians would carry Judah off into exile in Babylon. The northern kingdom of Israel had earlier been destroyed by the Assyrians and then the southern kingdom of Judah, during Jeremiah's time, was about to be destroyed by the Babylonians. The entire book of Jeremiah foretells of this coming destruction. And then it comes, and Judah's hope appears to be cut off.
There is no one to turn to. Egypt can not save the people of Judah; they also have been defeated by the Babylonians. Assyria is gone. There is no other power on earth to turn to. Except for one – the Lord. You see, Jeremiah also writes the book of Lamentations. The book begins with mourning for the fate of Judah and for the fate of Jeremiah; the prophet weeps for himself and for his people.
But, after reviewing his pain and sorrow, Jeremiah says, "But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end…" Jeremiah knows to whom to go; he knows to trust in the Lord, because the Lord will restore. Jeremiah knows that "It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord."
When all other hopes fail, the Lord is faithful and our hopes in Him are well-placed. It may take a while to our eyes, but the Lord fulfills His promises. He promised the people of Judah that He would restore them to their land, and He did so. Likewise, He promises us that He will restore us and the rest of His creation. And He will do this when Christ returns to bring about the resurrection of our bodies. So, wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord, because it is coming.
And we see what this restoration will be like in the Gospel reading. Jesus heals the sick and raises the dead. He takes the woman's uncleanness upon himself and makes it clean, and takes the girl's death upon himself and makes life. He is undoing the effects of the Fall. Adam and Eve's fall into sin brought decay and sickness and death and all sorts of evil into the world. But, Jesus has come to undo these effects and defeat these enemies of ours. We see him constantly in the Gospels healing the sick and raising the dead, because he is Lord over creation and the new, restored creation that will come with his return will have no sickness or decay or death or evil in it, because Jesus defeated these enemies of his and ours on his cross and empty tomb.
We also see Jesus gathering together all people, people like Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, and people like the sick woman, ostracized from society. In the Church, Christ gathers together all people around himself because you all will be with him and all the saints in eternity. So, what we see Jesus doing in the Gospels is a foretaste of the full restoration that awaits us. He is uniting fallen, sinful people around himself. The world, once dispersed at Babel, is being reunited in Christ.
We have the first fruits of this even now. In the Church he gathers us together around himself and gives us his Word and Sacraments to sustain us in this life as we wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. These means of his grace sustain us in our hope until he returns. They give us himself and his Word as we dwell in his presence. But, when Jesus returns for us, he will bring restoration in full. What we see in the Gospels we will receive as well. We will be made whole, we will be made well, we will be raised from the dead. Sickness and death will be no more, because Jesus will cast these out.
Jesus says of all the dead, "They are only sleeping." Many people laugh at this notion that the dead can live again. When the Gospel of Christ is preached, some people laugh, because it seems preposterous. It seems fantastical that one day we will live in a world with no sickness, no decay, no death. Surely the dead will not rise again.
But, "[t]he steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end…" All these things that seem impossible He will assuredly bring to pass. He will heal the sick and raise the dead, and we know this because he's done it before. He took all our sin, pain, sorrow, and death upon himself in his cross, as another mother lost her beloved son as a 'sword pierce through her own soul also' (cf. Luke 2:35). But, on that cross Jesus killed these enemies of ours and then rose to life again. And now he has baptized us into his death and resurrection so that we too will share in this new life, a life we have in part now as baptized children of God, and a life we will have in full upon Christ's return.
Many people in this world place their hopes not in the Lord but in many other things in this world. They trust in money, in ideologies, in people, in things. But, all these other things leave us wanting. They cannot fulfill us or heal us. But, there is one who can, and he has called you as his own and will also say to you "arise." Amen.

It doesn't have to match, it only has to GO! said Stacey London one billion times. I love the way these pieces go, and big YEAH to the new shoes. Did you know you were regularly getting "reviewed"? xox
More dialogue:
"The mix of patterns and tones is very pleasing to my eyes as well." exclaimed tess!
"You work out in backless shoes?" queried Jack.
I'm in awe of your never ending inventions and fun fabrics.
Also the shoes. How nice to hear the story of both these conversations.
You must buy a lot of shoes! Or else she is a fellow shoephile.
xo Jazzy Jack
It all matches in an un-matchy way. Which is all it has to do. Your fans have spoken ;))ReplyDelete
It does "go together" quite nicely. I'm slowly making friends with my sewing machine and perhaps one day I could make a dress like that. For now, I'm embellishing pieces that I already have.ReplyDelete
You put everything together in the best way, pao! And I love that your postie has noticed your shoe fetish. Heh. She's probably envious of your magical ability to find perfect shoes secondhand. I sure am!
Ooh, and Shelley is sewing now. Yay!
I love this combination, great colours and patterns. Olive-y greens are lovely. I am particularly enamoured of the pattern in the trouser fabric.ReplyDelete
They look phenomenal together - that's far more important than matching! xReplyDelete
I am curious to know how you altered the pants pattern. I have it but haven't made it yet. Deets pleeze. As to shoes, I wish you'd photograph your shoe closet contents just to make us all jealous. And I love all the beetle pix. So gorgeous. I hope you are embroidering them for your amazing coat.
Hey Vancouver Barbara! Both pairs I made are a olive-y green. The first ones are here:
The only change on these, I believe, is I added patch pockets above the large cargo pockets. The pattern runs large, except for the t-shirt. On these pants, I did the same pocket addition, but I took in the pants at the hem with little pleats.
I'm afraid to say, I have too many shoes to photograph in one place at one time.
And those beetles. I'm totally fascinated and can't stop looking at them. I'm also trying to figure out how I can sew them onto the finished coat. It seems likely I would have to take it apart. So I'm still trying to figure out how to go about it. And what surface would work best to embroider my bugs onto. Research and experimenting.
If it "goes together" then it matches in my eyes!ReplyDelete

Arizona Coyotes offseason begins with four key questions
Heading into the offseason, the Coyotes have a few areas of need to address.
With the Stanley Cup playoffs getting underway on Wednesday, here are four pressing questions for the team as their focus shifts to being one of those playoff teams next season.
1. Will the Coyotes add a proven scorer (or two)?
The Coyotes are fairly set when it comes to goaltending and defense, so their top priority needs to be adding at least one top-six forward with a pedigree for lighting the lamp. Two would be ideal, but adding one scorer is undoubtedly a necessity.
This year's free-agent market is anchored by John Tavares, who may re-sign with the New York Islanders. He is unquestionably the top player on the market and will need to be the first domino to fall once the free-agent period begins on July 1.
Because Tavares could fetch up to $11 million per season on the open market, the Coyotes' chances at landing the elite center are slim. But there are other options that could be nice fits in Arizona. Pending free agents such as LW James van Riemsdyk, LW Patrick Maroon and LW Rick Nash could be viable options.
The Coyotes finished with the second-lowest goal total in the NHL this season with 206, which works out to a subpar 2.51 goals per game rate. Rookie Clayton Keller led the team in scoring with 23 goals. The 28-year-old van Riemsdyk put up 36 goals with the Toronto Maple Leafs this season.
RELATED:Clayton Keller has captained Coyotes' youth movement
Of course, given the track record of Coyotes President of Hockey Operations and General Manager John Chayka, there is a strong chance the team could address this need via trade.
Chayka said this week he hopes to revisit some conversations he started at this year's trade deadline.
"These are players we've targeted for a long time," Chayka said. "There's a lot more fluidity and liquidity in the (offseason trade) market. For me as a manager, it's a lot easier to make those types of moves. The draft is a time to do it. But certainly we've laid the groundwork and (are) looking forward to continuing those conversations."
2. How big a role for Dylan Strome?
During his latest recall, Strome finally showed he can perform at the NHL level, registering eight points in his final 10 games with the big club. The question will be how much stock the Coyotes put in the young center's late-season performance.
Before his latest stint, Strome's struggles at the NHL level had many thinking that the team's top priority was to sign a top-six center this offseason. Has Strome changed the Coyotes' mind about that?
"I spoke to Dylan and told him we have high expectations for him," Chayka said. "We've made him earn things and playing a top-six center position as a 20-year-old is a very hard thing to do. I think in his latest segment where he came up and played, I thought he showed a lot of improvement.
"I thought he proved a lot to himself and his teammates that he can handle that type of role and be productive."
The Coyotes took Strome with the third overall pick in 2015, the same draft that began with now-elite NHLers Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel. By comparison, Strome has been a late-bloomer. So, is his latest NHL stint an indication that he's finally arrived?
It will be one of the questions that governs Chayka's process this offseason. At the center position, the Coyotes have Strome, Derek Stepan, Christian Dvorak and Laurent Dauphin under contract for next season.
If Richardson comes back, it's hard to see the Coyotes adding another center to their current group — unless they move someone via trade. Regardless, the level of confidence the Coyotes place in Strome will be a key guiding force for the offseason.
3. Will Oliver Ekman-Larsson be re-signed?
Locking up No. 1 goaltender Antti Raanta was big, but there's another looming contract the Coyotes will have to take a longer look at this summer.
That contract belongs to Ekman-Larsson, who has one year left on a six-year, $33 million deal he signed in 2013. The left-shot defenseman is eligible to sign a new deal on July 1.
Now, because Ekman-Larsson is under contract for next season, the Coyotes don't have to sign their franchise blueliner to a new deal before the 2018-19 campaign. But it's something they'd be wise to address this summer.
Ekman-Larsson did not play well at the start of this season but finished playing some of the best hockey of his career during the Coyotes' second-half surge. Chayka talked about the transitional season for him.
"I think it was a transition for Oliver in terms of leadership and basically stepping up and making it the way he did," Chayka said. "The way things started it would have been easy to go the other way, but I thought he took a lot of responsibility and grew his game. For my money, I think that's the best I've seen him play.
"He really controlled things from the back end and showed why he's a special player."
In all likelihood, the 26-year-old will be named the team's captain next season. After the departure of Shane Doan last season and the arrival of new coach Rick Tocchet, the Coyotes did not have a captain in 2017-18.
It would be an added level of responsibility for the team's longest-tenured player. Ekman-Larsson has expressed his interest to remain in Arizona.
"I would obviously like to figure something out," Ekman-Larsson said about his expiring contract. "I've said it so many times. This is where I want to be. Hopefully we can work something out."
4. Which (if any) free agents will return?
Fourth-line center Brad Richardson leads a group of pending free agents.
He joins forwards Zac Rinaldo and Freddie Hamilton as well as defensemen Kevin Connauton and Luke Schenn as players set to hit the open market on July 1.
We're going to take a step back and kind of evaluate everything at this point," Chayka said regarding the team's pending free agents. "I've had some initial, kind of preliminary discussions. When a player is looking at potentially going to their (free-agent) market, they have the right to potentially look around and see what else is out there.
"We think we have an attractive opportunity here in terms of where our team is headed and in terms of the opportunity in Arizona."
If any pending free agent has the best chance at returning next season, it would be Richardson. Down the stretch, the 33-year-old centered a line with Jordan Martinook and Nick Cousins that was one of the more effective defensive forward units in the NHL.
Archibald and Hamilton were midseason acquisitions and were in and out of the lineup. Rinaldo didn't provide much outside of a positive locker room presence.
Things get interesting with the defensemen, as Connauton could find himself the recipient of a healthy paycheck after an 11-goal outburst this season.
It's not out of the realm of possibility that the Coyotes could pay it, but Connauton would likely be a No. 6 defender on a healthy Coyotes team. Chayka might prefer a cheaper option, such as prospects Kyle Capobianco or Trevor Murphy, instead.
Schenn played well in March and April when the Coyotes' blue line became rife with injury, but he was often the odd man out when the team was healthy. If the money is right, it could make sense for the Coyotes to retain him for depth and to contend for the No. 6 spot.

General Information
This 10-in Diamond Sharpening Steel has a diamond-honed surface to keep your Global knives razor sharp. The steel is carefully weighted and features the same distinct handle design as the knives. This Diamond Sharpening Steel is terrific for sharpening all your knives on a weekly or monthly basis, depending upon how often you use your knives. Loved by professional chefs around the world, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The thin and razor sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient and maximizing its flavor. The majority of Global knives are ground to a straight point rather than the western style of beveling the edge. To balance their knives Global uses a hollow handle that is filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. The handle has its own unique darkened dimples for a non-slip grip. Because the knives are very light weight they reduce hand fatigue. Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless, all stainless construction that eliminates food and dirt traps. Global knifes are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, a blend of 18 percent chromium for good stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium which gives excellent edge retention.

Employers and insurers are expecting on average a 6% increase in healthcare costs in 2019, according to a Medical Cost Trend report released in June from PwC's HRI.
Understanding the basics when it comes to pharmacy benefits management (PBM) can be very beneficial to procurement managers trying to find cost savings in unfamiliar territory.
Pharmacy pricing is a hot topic. Politicians and news editors lace their speeches or headlines with stories about hyper-inflated prices for select medications. Business executives and human resource departments continue to see pharmacy as the fastest growing component of health care trend. Patients experience the cost increases first hand as a greater share of the cost is pushed their way through high deductible plan designs.

- 5.0
By CelticWRX on Monday, September 02, 2019My commute is 70 to 100 miles per day. I was blowing through good used cars and needed an inexpensive car with 0 miles and a robust warranty. I could not be happier. I've been driving since the 1980's and I've driven nearly everything. I've had 400 hp muscle cars both classic and modern. I've had cars with more bells and whistles than I needed. This Accent was a breath of fresh air. It has the CVT trans and though not a tire burner the power is ready and waiting. It gets up to speed very easily. Some other modern vehicles with conventional automatics have considerable delays between pressing the accelerator and moving. This does not, and that makes the acceleration, thus lane changing and merging so much more effortless and SAFER. I have the SE and it has all of the options that are needed. All of the controls are at hand and in the right place. I also have a 2017 Ford Escape and that car is just awkward and disappointing. I use the cruise control considerably and this car responds well to it as if it adjusts engine speed because it knows it's in control. The MPG meter is more often pegged at 50+ than lower. My mixed mileage thus far is 37 mpg and that's 50/50 city and highway. My average miles per hour is still a low 25, so I think it will improve. I really like the seat and seating position. We fit 4 adults in it, two big boys in the front and two average girls in the back. It rides fine and the noise isn't obnoxious. It's not a Cadillac but it's a better commuter car that will last just as long, if not longer. This is ideal for those who don't need to take their living room to work. I look forward to racking up the miles.

In a long-awaited decision, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that the decision of the Law Societies of British Columbia and Ontario to deny accreditation to Trinity Western University (TWU)'s proposed law school is reasonable, and is a proportionate balancing of Charter-protected rights.
This case originated when the Law Societies of BC and Ontario voted to deny accreditation to TWU's proposed new law school due to the code of conduct they require all students and staff to sign in order to attend, known as the Community Covenant. Based on an Evangelical Christian understanding of morality, the Covenant, among other regulations, decreed that sexual activity was only permitted in the context of a heterosexual marriage—a provision that the Law Societies (as well as the CCLA) recognized as discriminatory to LGBTQ students.
Though a nuanced and complicated case, the legal debate largely centers on how to appropriately balance and reconcile the right to freedom of religion and freedom from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. While TWU argued that the Law Societies' denial of accreditation was a violation of their freedom of religion and freedom of association, the Law Societies argued that accreditation would amount to condoning and endorsing the systemic discrimination against LGBTQ students.
In today's decision, the majority acknowledged the impact this would have on freedom of religion. Justice Abella, writing for the majority, explains that denying accreditation to TWU's law school does result in "a limitation on the right of TWU's community members to enhance their spiritual development through studying law in an environment defined by their religious beliefs in which members follow certain religious rules of conduct."[1] However, the majority concludes that this limitation is minor—first, because the mandatory covenant, around which this case centers, is "not absolutely required for the religious practice at issue,"[2] and second, because while students have expressed their preference for studying law in a religious environment, this preference falls short of a necessity. [3]
Conversely, the majority argues that the limitation on equality rights for LGBTQ students would be significant if the proposed law school was accredited. Although TWU argued that increasing the number of available law school seats would expand opportunities for all students, the majority recognized that this expansion of opportunity would not impact LGBTQ students equally, as they would be ineligible for these additional seats without "deny[ing] a crucial component of their identity in the most private and personal of spaces for three years in order to receive a legal education." (para 96).[4] Thus, even though TWU's law school would increase the overall number of students able to pursue a legal education, Abella reasons that:
"[T]his does not change the fact that an entire law school would be closed off to the vast majority of LGBTQ individuals on the basis of their sexual identity. Those who are able to sign the Covenant will be able to apply to 60 more law school seats per year, whereas those 60 seats remain effectively closed to most LGBTQ people. In short, LGBTQ individuals would have fewer opportunities relative to others." [5]
Ultimately, the majority concluded that:
"The refusal to approve the proposed law school means that members of the TWU religious community are not free to impose those religious beliefs on fellow law students, since they have an inequitable impact and can cause significant harm. The LSBC chose an interpretation of the public interest in the administration of justice which mandates access to law schools based on merit and diversity, not exclusionary religious practices. The refusal to approve TWU's proposed law school prevents concrete, not abstract, harms to LGBTQ people and to the public in general. The LSBC's decision ensures that equal access to the legal profession is not undermined and prevents the risk of significant harm to LGBTQ people who feel they have no choice but to attend TWU's proposed law school. It also maintains public confidence in the legal profession, which could be undermined by the LSBC's decision to approve a law school that forces LGBTQ people to deny who they are for three years to receive a legal education."[6]
Today's decision adds to the growing number of recent cases exploring the intersection between freedom of religion and freedom from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. As the fight for LGBTQ equality continues, and religious organizations stand firm in their doctrinal convictions, conflict will inevitably continue to arise over the proper balancing of respective Charter rights.

Five online gaming operators were found by the UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) to be potentially marketing gambling to underage users on the World Wide Web. The ASA was using automated technology that is designed to mimic the browsing habits of children in an attempt to see what kinds of advertisements kids were being exposed to as they use the Internet.
Over a period of two weeks, the ASA came across 23 gambling ads that appeared more than 150 times on 11 different websites intended for children. The ad cited as appearing the most was for NetEnt's Vikings video slot which is, of course, available at many real-money online casino and gambling sites. Unibet was another high profile name that also appeared several times as the ASA's child-like bots surfed through their sites. Multilotto, Redbet and PlayOjo online casinos were also specifically named.
ASA's Automated Watchdog Weapon
Speaking to British news source The Guardian, an ASA representative said they are now using technology that is capable of simulating browsing behaviour by age group and that it has become an important part of the tools that the organisation uses in its fight against illegal advertising on the Internet. This new tech is also slated to be used to detect bad actors who are not sticking to marketing regulations on junk food and alcohol.
Regarding the gambling ads, most of the operators admitted to having broken the rules and took overall responsibility but cited mistakes made by third-party companies that were hired to run their online marketing as the true culprits.
Alexander Westrell, head of communications at Kindred, the parent company of Unibet, said that, "The advert was served by a third party without the control or knowledge of Kindred/Unibet and in breach of the contractual terms in place. The advert was served due to a fault in that third party's systems and the fault has been addressed. The advert did not lead to under-18 gambling." He also emphasized that Kindred/Unibet do not seek out or accept business from anyone under the age of 18.
80% Of Gambling Advertising Is Online
New research presented by GambleAware shows that about 80% of advertising for the whole of the UK's online casinos is now done online.
After much debate in the UK about the considerable amount of gambling-related advertisements on television, especially around high-profile sporting events, gambling operators negotiated a self-imposed ban, which encompasses the entire industry, that will go into effect later in the year. It would stand to reason that the explosion in online advertising is a direct result of this upcoming exit from television.
GambleAware released an official statement on the matter which says, ""The … analysis shows that much more attention needs to be paid to the extent of gambling-related marketing online and that internet companies and social media platforms must share in the responsibility to protect children, and to generally raise awareness of the nature of gambling, associated risks of harm, and where to go for help and advice if it is needed."
