A throng of family medicine residents -- 1,147, to be precise -- traveled to the AAFP's National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students held here July 27-29. Many of these residents wrote and discussed resolutions on patient care, advocacy and residents' needs as participants in the 2017 National Congress of Family Medicine Residents.
Chetan Patel, M.D., of the Columbus Regional Medical Center in Columbus, Ga., tells a resident reference committee that residents and students need personal finance training to ensure they have a solid personal financial foundation.
During reference committee hearings on July 28, residents spoke their minds on nearly 30 resolutions, and then delegates voted on which of these measures to adopt the following day in the resident congress.
Adopted resolutions will work their way through the AAFP's policymaking process, where they will be reviewed and referred, when applicable, for further action by AAFP leaders and the AAFP Congress of Delegates.
Take a look at some of what this group accomplished in just three days.
Acknowledging Residents' Needs
Family medicine residents are passionate about their patients, but they also recognize that they must protect their own health and well-being even as they care for others.
With that in mind, Scott Hippe, M.D., of the Family Medicine Residency of Idaho in Boise, co-authored a resolution asking the AAFP to implement an objective assessment of resident burnout. He noted in testimony that there is an increased focus on physician wellness, as well as on how burnout affects residents' quality of life and patient care.
Story Highlights
- Participants in the 2017 National Congress of Family Medicine Residents debated nearly 30 resolutions on a variety of issues.
- Residents voted on topics related to physician well-being and burnout, personal finance education, patient advocacy, health care as a human right, and more.
- Adopted resolutions will work their way through the AAFP's policymaking process where they will be reviewed and referred, when applicable, for further action by AAFP leaders and the AAFP Congress of Delegates.
"It's important to measure levels of burnout and wellness and come up with objective ways to know which residency programs are doing that well and which ones are not," he said.
Stephanie Arnold, M.D., of the Columbia Presbyterian Family Medicine Residency Program in New York, N.Y., brought nods of agreement from her colleagues with her reference committee testimony.
"The increased awareness about burnout is fantastic, but unfortunately, I think many of us find ourselves sitting through lecture time devoted to discussing burnout as a cure for burnout, and it does not really feel restorative or rejuvenating."
The resident congress ultimately adopted a substitute resolution that asks the AAFP to work with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education to develop objective measures to quantify resident physician burnout.
Chetan Patel, M.D., of the Columbus Regional Medical Center in Columbus, Ga., authored a resolution on a topic that causes many residents a good deal of stress: personal finance.
"Newly minted physicians are trying to learn more about financial planning," said Patel. Unfortunately, personal financial issues such as budgeting, insurance, tax planning and retirement planning are not adequately addressed in medical school or residency, he said.
Patel asked the AAFP to include an educational session on personal finance at future National Conferences, which would be taught by a certified financial planner who does not receive commission payments for selling financial products.
The resident congress adopted the measure.
Vivian Jiang, M.D., of the University of Rochester Family Medicine Residency in Rochester, N.Y., introduced a resolution asking the AAFP to improve feedback on actions taken regarding resolutions presented by residents and students.
"This is basically about people who write resolutions and don't know what happened to them," said Jiang. "We want to keep those leaders engaged and let them know that they do actually have a voice when they speak up."
Kaci Larsen, M.D., of the University of Missouri-Columbia Family Medicine Residency, described participation at the resident and student congresses as learning opportunities.
"Providing some feedback to the future leaders of family medicine would be beneficial," said Larsen. Specifically, residents and students could learn how to write clear and succinct resolutions now before they become "the real leaders of the Academy."
Mansi Shah, M.D., of the Duke Community and Family Medicine Residency in Durham, N.C., tells a resident reference committee that food insecurity "contributes to a number of diseases."
The congress adopted a substitute resolution asking the AAFP to explore the development of an online resource summarizing downstream actions related to adopted resolutions from the student and resident congresses.
Advocating for Patients
Residents understand that sometimes they need to fight for their patients' most basic needs.
Mansi Shah, M.D., of the Duke Community and Family Medicine Residency in Durham, N.C., co-authored a resolution on screening, intervening and advocating on behalf of patients to address food insecurity.
Jonathan Jimenez, M.D., a co-author who also is from the Duke program, pointed to mounting evidence that shows "food insecurity affects disease and nutrition, and as family doctors, it is our role to advocate for our patients."
Raman Nohria, M.D., of the Lawrence Family Medicine Residency Program in Lawrence, Mass., testified that his site, a federally qualified health center, screened 1,500 patients and found a 66 percent positive screening rate for food insecurity.
"We partner with a Boston food bank to serve 1,000 families and more than 100,000 pounds of food. If adopted nationally, this could be a great benefit," said Nohria.
The resident congress adopted a substitute resolution that calls on the AAFP to
- support efforts to screen patients for food insecurity and connect patients to federal nutrition programs,
- create a policy that supports a strong national nutrition safety net by defending federal nutrition programs from structural changes and budget cuts, and
- educate members about food insecurity.
In another resolution, residents asked the AAFP to collaborate with other organizations to develop resources to help family physicians become community advocates and collaborators for public health.
Co-author Courtney Pilkerton, M.D., Ph.D., of the West Virginia University Family Medicine Residency in Morgantown, said, "Health is more than what happens in the clinic and patient care. There's been a strong movement to integrate family physicians into public health."
Health is more than what happens in the clinic and patient care. There's been a strong movement to integrate family physicians into public health.
— Courtney Pilkerton, M.D., Ph.D.
She noted the AAFP's support for the movement but said there's not a lot of "practical guidance" available.
"Family physicians need targeted information on how we can become advocates in our own communities -- and in communities in rural areas where we are the public health professional as well as the family physician," said Pilkerton.
Delegates adopted the resolution.
The residents also tackled the topic of health care as a human right. Resolution co-author Kyle Leggott, M.D., of the University of Colorado Family Medicine Residency Program in Aurora, said considering health care to be a human right "is an ethos change" and a new way to think about health care.
"This is an opportunity for the AAFP to lead both professional organizations and patients to change the way we think about national health care reform," he added.
Delegates adopted a substitute measure asking the AAFP to recognize health care as a basic human right, rather than a privilege, for every person.
Keeping Patients Safe
Family medicine residents introduced several resolutions aimed at keeping their patients safe.
For instance, David Kennedy, M.D., of the Swedish Family Medicine First Hill Residency Program in Seattle, fought hard for a resolution he authored that addresses harm-reduction strategies to prevent opioid overdose-related events.
Kennedy provided testimony about experiences at his public health clinic in downtown Seattle, where he sees homeless and uninsured patients, as well as patients on Medicaid.
"We see a lot of mental illnesses and substance abuse. We're blessed to have a robust policy when it comes to chronic opioid dependency and management," including a needle exchange program and a Suboxone (naloxone and buprenorphine) maintenance program, said Kennedy.
David Kennedy, M.D., of the Swedish Family Medicine Residency First Hill Program in Seattle, testifies that "any day patients are not injecting or using heroin, and are instead taking Suboxone, is a day they have reduced their risk of any kind of injection-related harm."
He acknowledged there was a scarcity of data to prove the success of such programs, "but hopefully, eventually when the data bears results, we can be leaders on this front in advocating for these types of programs."
When the reference committee recommended that the resolution not be adopted, Kennedy took up his cause in the resident congress and brought the resolution back to life by striking the original resolved clause and writing a new one.
Kennedy got support in the congress from colleagues such as Jessica Malachowski, M.D., M.S.P.H., of the Baptist Health Madisonville Family Medicine Residency Program in Madisonville, Ky. "There is lots of concern in my area; this would be beneficial to Kentucky," she said.
The amended resolution the congress adopted asks the AAFP to partner with and support the AMA in developing harm-reduction strategies, including safe injection facilities.
Residents also took up federal funding cuts to reproductive health programs.
Author Yakira Teitel, M.D., of the San Francisco General Hospital Family and Community Medicine Residency Program, told the reference committee that HHS recently cut $213 million in funding for family planning and reproductive health education -- and in the middle of a five-year grant cycle, at that.
The cuts, said Teitel, "affect 81 programs across the country that are doing evidence-based research and program implementation and evaluation around preventing teen pregnancy. At the same time, HHS is increasing funding for abstinence-only education."
Astrud Villareal, M.D., of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Residency Program in Dallas, offered her support.
"Data show that states with abstinence-only sex education have the highest rates of teen pregnancy, and that's even after controlling for socioeconomic status, teen educational attainment and ethnic composition," she said. "On the contrary, teens who receive comprehensive sex education were 60 percent less likely to get pregnant or to get someone pregnant."
The resident congress adopted a resolution asking the AAFP to issue a statement in support of reproductive health access and education programs and against cuts to such programs.
The congress adopted numerous other measures, including resolutions
- supporting legislation aimed at reducing adverse childhood experiences,
- advocating against all-terrain vehicle use in children ages 12 and younger,
- supporting the safety of personal care products,
- creating an AAFP minority pipeline program,
- connecting international students with AAFP chapters and
- encouraging holistic selection of family medicine residency applicants.

My mother has always had a special appreciation for hamburgers from McDonald's. For her, the specific taste of a Big Mac reminds her of some of her favorite memories: moving to the United States, watching her children grow up, feeling "American." She didn't eat them very often and the onset of diabetes made the treat even more seldom. So when she decided to visit me and my sister in Portland, the first thing she asked when we picked her up at the airport was if we could stop by McDonald's to get a hamburger. However, we wanted to take her some place nicer, something she couldn't get at home, and with better quality food. After throwing out ideas for a few minutes, we decided to take her to the Matchbox Lounge.
I was looking forward to introducing my mom to an artisan burger since she rarely tries new restaurants or food, especially any food that isn't Chinese. When we got the restaurant, we ordered her the signature, award-winning burger. It featured gourmet quality local beef, pancetta, manchego cheese, and aioli. When she took a bite of this mouthwatering dish, she looked disappointed. She said "It isn't like McDonald's." We were shocked: how could anyone prefer a mass produced fast food hamburger over a fresh artisan burger? The answer was that she wasn't looking to try a new hamburger. She wanted to have something familiar and comforting. She had a specific need that no other burger could fufill.
The easiest type of customer to attract is the one that is dissatisfied with something. The owner of an old, unreliable vehicle is a much better sales prospect than someone who loves his or her car. A hungry person is more likely to go to a restaurant than someone who just ate. Most people wouldn't even consider the second person as someone who was in the market. One of the easiest ways to gain new customers is to target ones who are actually looking for something or who are unhappy with what they currently have. That only seems natural: catering to a natural interest or curiosity or need. It doesn't matter if the new product actually contains new, superior features or is more efficient: the customer has to believe that the current one they have is not solving their problem. Therefore, wouldn't it make sense to spend your resources on marketing to those who had a need rather than a general audience who might or might not have one at all? If you want to target a wider audience, you'll have to convince more people that what they currently have is not satisfactory.

Well…no one is winning a food photography contest around here, but we love these 2-ingredient pancakes that have been floating around cyberspace. My picky eater finally eats eggs!
Ingredients: 1 mashed banana, 2 pastured eggs. The end.
We threw some mashed up blueberries in for this round! And if you're really feeling crazy, add a dash of cinnamon.
After whipping them together, cook in ghee, butter, or the oil of your choice. Serve with raw honey or organic maple syrup.

Title: Mördaren
Also known as:
Mördaren - En helt vanlig person (Full title)
The Killer (English title)
Year: 1967
Genre: Thriller / Mystery / Comedy
Language: Swedish
Runtime: 96 min
Director: Arne Mattsson
Writer: Arne Mattsson & Maj Sjöwall
IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062023/
Passengers spend the night on a train when a woman is pushed out of the train. A witness to the murder pulls the emergency breaks and it causes the train to break down, and they have to wait for someone to come and repair it. Luckily they're a walking distance away from the nearest station. Some people think of the woman jumped herself, but eventually they are get paranoid and start to investigate on their own.
Our thoughts:
Rickard from Klubb Super 8 was kind enough to give me this to review last time I met him and I had totally forgotten about it until now that I sorted my DVD collection and put all "Klubb Super 8" DVDs together. I knew I didn't want to miss this one since I was so impressed by Arne Mattsson's "Vaxdockan", and this gave off a similar vibe from the cover. I know he has made a lot of films that aren't of interest to me in any way, but I have decided now that I want to watch as many of his thrillers I can.
This early Swedish "whodunit" is just as much a comedy as it is a thriller, and that's probably what I enjoyed the most about it. It has a plot we've seen a million times, but I don't think that it was common in the 60's Sweden or before that so it was very interesting to watch. A murder occurs on a train (people aren't sure) one night and it causes the witness to pull the emergency breaks. The train breaks down and they have to wait for a repairman. The majority of the movie is just spent on these characters being themselves and that's actually enough. We don't have any more "thrills" until the ending and I think that's good, it makes it a unique experience. The characters are all over the place: a doofus, a rich bastard, a soldier (of sorts), the respectable conductor, ex-mental patient, and so on.
The ending was a pleasure to watch as it's a twist we see all the time nowadays, but I imagine it being pretty ground-breaking for its time (especially in this country). And it actually works. I mean, I didn't bother to break the movie into tiny pieces to inspect it all, but upon watching it I really felt it made sense, and it was actually pulled off rather nicely. A smooth transition. I won't go into the twist, but I'm sure you've guessed it right about now.
The entertaining story, the interesting characters, the comedic dialogue and the twist ending aren't what made me like this film as much as I did though. There is one specific thing that made this a great watch - the acting of Allan Edwall. He's one of the Swedish actors every Swede knows of, but I have never really cared for him. But in "Mördaren" he is simply fantastic. His acting is subtle and intense at the same time and hadn't it been for him this film could've been a lot worse. There are some other big names in this as well, like Heinz Hopf and Björn Gustafson. Heinz Hopf plays a drugged homosexual, and he also narrates the film.
"Mördaren" is yet another lost Swedish movie I didn't know of, and soon I can no longer say Swedish movies suck. Well, the modern ones actually do, and the TV dramas I've seen through my entire life still bore me to death. But there are just so many good ones to find that I don't mind going through some dung to find them. Klubb Super 8 have done me a favor once again! A highly recommended thriller that might not be that original now, but it's still a pleasure to watch.

Choir of the Good Shepherd, Cox Green
Choir of the Good Shepherd, Cox Green
Our church choir sings at regular Sunday morning services, at Festival Services, and at weddings. We are also invited from time to time to sing at other churches.
We rehearse in the Community Centre on one Sunday each month and more frequently before Christmas and other Festival services. Rehearsals are informal and give us a chance to run through music set for the coming month and to try out new material. We sing both traditional and modern church music with equal enjoyment!
Everyone is welcome to join the choir - children from age 9 upwards and adults. No auditions are required! Many people are deterred from joining a choir as they feel they can't read music. Don't let this put you off! One of the great pleasures of our choir is the fact that people who thought they might never join a choir have done so, are thoroughly enjoying it, and are learning to read music as a result!
If you'd like to know more about the Choir, please contact Jenny Hopper via the Church Office – Tel. 01628-632567 or email us.

Each piece can be worn separate and will coordinate easily with other designer clothing. The skirts have a band at the waist and a lacey trim at the hem. The cropped jackets come with both silver and gold buckles. The glitter sweaters have shoulder pads and a band around the waist giving the sweater some substance.

Keto Detox Tea
Everything You Need To Know & Why You Need It
Detox teas have been around in one form or another for a long time going back almost to the origins of Chinese medicine. Today there are numerous detox teas on the market with most aimed at helping cleanse the liver, kidneys, and blood of impurities gleaned from our diets and/or the environment.
The effectiveness of such drinks varies based on what is in them, as well as how you utilize them.
If you wish to detoxify your liver with detox teas yet continue to eat an unhealthy diet, drink heavily and not exercise it's likely your detox tea won't have much effect.
What Are Keto Detox Teas?
Unlike traditional ones, keto detox teas are not made with boiling water as this has the effect of drastically reducing their vitamin and mineral value. With most teas that are not an issue because people are drinking tea for the taste and the overall sense of relaxation, they get when they sit down with a piping hot cup of Earl Grey on a cold winter morning.
Detox teas on the other hand - and in particular keto detox teas - are being explicitly consumed for their medicinal qualities. As such, instead of creating tea bags to be steeped in nutrient-wasting hot water detox teas come in a powdered form that is mixed with cold water. This allows for substantially higher nutrient retention and overall effectiveness.
6 Signs That You May Need It:
How Does It Work?
Does keto detox tea work? When people have been on the keto lifestyle for some time they may encounter periods where weight loss has ground to a halt, fatigue has become an issue, and other symptoms like constipation and sugar cravings come to the fore.
These are not a reason to panic, but they may indicate that it would be wise to undergo a keto detox to flush and reset your system.
Keto Detox Tea helps remove impurities from your system, particularly your kidneys and liver, which allows the process of ketosis to resume more effectively. Sugar cravings will subside, your appetite should be reduced, you'll start enjoying your workouts again, and your fat loss efforts will get back on track.
What is in a Keto Detox Tea?
While recipes tend to vary from brand to brand the best keto detox teas usually contain some or all of the following:
The bottom line when it comes to ketogenic detox teas is that they provide a gentle nudge to the system that helps fight off fatigue, enhance digestion and restart the weight loss process that sometimes can get bogged down after prolonged periods on the keto lifestyle.
Are there Potential Side Effects?
While most of the ingredients in keto detox teas are bereft of any significant side effects when consumed in moderation, drinking excessive amounts of it in an effort to speed up the detoxifying effects of the tea may lead to some mild to moderately severe side effects including diarrhea, heartburn, lightheadedness, confusion, irritability, and reflux. If you are naturally sensitive to the effects of caffeine, you may also experience a bit of anxiety and feel jittery from time to time.
The best way to avoid any side effects is not to exceed the recommended amounts and frequency when it comes to consuming ketogenic detox teas. For instance, don't bring a water bottle full of it with you wherever you go. Instead, have a cup or glass in the morning and perhaps another later in the day before working out.
What's the Best Keto Detox Tea?
While traditional detox teas have been around for ages most are of little or no use when it comes to helping those on the keto regimen reinvigorate their fat burning efforts. This type of beverage is a relative newcomer to the detox tea family, formulated to respond to the specific needs of those on the keto diet. Of the detox teas currently available, we believe GenBoost Keto Detox Tea to be the most effective and with no risk of any side effects.
So if you're looking for a way to reinvigorate your keto fat burning, GenBoost Keto Detox Tea is a great place to start.

The recent murder of Elana Fric-Shamji in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, to my mind, demonstrates that we still live in a culture that is sexist (inequality of gender), misogynist (a person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against women), and promotes violence, in all its forms, against women.
In a study of 333 mothers and fathers in Portugal, a team at the University of Coimbra analyzed the correlations between mindfulness, mindful parenting, parenting styles, and stress.
There are two ways of being in the world. One is called the "doing mode" and the other is called the "being mode". When we operate in the "being mode", we are usually happier than when in the doing mode, for obvious reasons. If you are in the being mode, there is less of a tendency for you to be excessively angry. Mindfulness, therefore, is an anger management strategy because it is a source of happiness.

Custom «The Health Living» Essay Paper
Many Flatbush residents have poor access to medical care and this is very vital to the prevention and maintaining of health living. Twenty nine thousand people report no current health care and forty nine thousand people do not have a personal doctor. This means that people are at risk of not receiving attention quickly in the event of an illness. This increases the risk of severity of illnesses. The Government policy and plan is required to facilitate this programme and ensure all citizens are covered by a medical insurance policy. This will also increase medical checkups and routine check-up increases health stability.
The public hospitals are in pathetic conditions and the bid to privatize them was legally blocked. If the public hospitals could be supported with adequate resources, this would probably improve the health conditions of the people of Flatbush. The United States Health care system is inefficient and in order to improve health care presence of an efficient health care system is a must. Providing public insurance and involving the Government in subsidizing the costs of insurance may increase the number of people who can access Medicaid. This will ensure increased access to health care and affordable insurance plan for many.

The federal Government of New York has an assumption that the health care system in place is adequate for the people of New York City state. This is where the health challenge emerges. Communities need to be looked at from individual perspectives. If any problems are to be noticed and acted upon by the federal department of health there must be distinction and individual community approach. The needs of Flatbush are very different from the needs of Bronx in Brooklyn. The poor Health care delivery system is not adequate for the population of New York. Different health needs overwhelm the facilities because of lack of proper planning (McGoy, 2004).
Poor environment
Living in a healthy environment contributes to the healthy being. The conditions that the residents are living are not so god. It is clear that a good housing system and safe neighbourhood contributes to healthy living. Insecurity causes hospital admissions in resulting by accidents and crimes (Draper et al, 1980). An environment that is surrounded by insecurity, overcrowding and no housing resources such as gymnasiums and supermarkets contribute to mushrooming of small businesses that d not observe hygiene. This factors bundled together are a main cause of unhealthy living. Health education is sensitive to all this factors.
Once the Government department focuses on improving the health of the residents it will involve all the stakeholders in ensuring the standards achieved do not get lost due to ignorance and stubbornness of certain individuals (Draper et al, 1980). Thus it will involve the environment and ecology. This is because human ecology is synonymous with human health. The idea is to involve the people to live healthy lifestyles and be responsible. The residents of Flatbush consider insecurity and poverty as a factor that makes the environment not to be healthy. The water distribution systems may also be part of the contributing factor to the ill health of Flatbush residents (Ontario, 2006).

The residents of Flatbush are mostly not United States Citizens. This is a challenge because they are not included in the health programmes that are in the country. They need more money in order to access these health care programmes. This is one form of a challenge that they face resulting to the development of negative behavioural health that leads to the contracting of sexually transmitted diseases. If the Government could introduce a plan that would include the non citizens it would really help solve the problem of lack of education on various health challenges (NYC health, 2003). This would be a great step to solving the high rates of health challenges involving the youths and sexually transmitted diseases.
The youths of Flatbush should be involved and enrolled to the health care programmes which advice the youths in regards to behavioural health and sexual health. The effect of race and ethnicity has been on the toll for the minorities. The blacks receive less amount of care and a low quality of care for similar illnesses when compared to their white counterparts who are in the same income bracket and insurance coverage level. The double standards in providing health care have great consequences to the community of Flatbush. There is no effort to improve the health conditions in this community. The racial and ethnic disparities have contributed to the poor health status of the residents of Flatbush
Lack of financial input
The organizations that provide these services are few and not enough. There should be more funding for awareness and eeducation of the youths. This will attract more organizations to offer these services. Interest of the youths is also low in attending these awareness programmes. They view this programmes as a bother and to be very irrelevant to their livelihood. There should be motivation to the youths in making them understand the importance of these programmes. This is a sign that more effort on the Governments side to increase awareness and also educate the youths about these disease is the only way to curb the rise of these infections. More emphasis on education on the dangers of negative behavioural health will decrease the risks of the youths contracting even more complicated diseases resulting from pre marital sexual behaviours.
Negative behavioural health
Sexually transmitted diseases in Flatbush are on the rampant rise. The demographics stand at eight hundred and ninety one people for every ten thousand residents are infected by Chlamydia while two hundred and sixty eight individuals out of ten thousand are infected with Gonorrhoea. These rates are very high and the impacts can be devastating. The infections can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease in Women and infertility is also a possibility if left untreated. The Sexually Transmitted diseases increase the risks of contracting HIV. The youths are high on the list affected by Sexually Transmitted Infections. This is infections can be greatly reduced if the youths are given proper counselling and guidance regarding their sexuality

It is in rare occasions that the centres reach out to the youths. The health care authorities wait for the youths to make right decisions to attend the training programmes and learn about their sexuality but instead the youths are focussed on exploring their sexuality. A quick response to the inflating rates of sexually transmitted infections should a priority. There seems no effort even after several community studies highlighted the danger looming in the community (DOH, 2010).
Insecurity and Povert
The security of the living areas is part of the community health. There was an increase in hospital admissions due to crimes and accidents. Poverty levels have also contributed to lack of a healthy community. It is because of poverty that many residents have not acquired education and this hinders there perspective of reasoning towards community health. There are programmes that have been developed to face the immediate effects of stressors.

There have been a few changes around NoiseTheorem HQ.
First off, I killed any/all social media sites I'm not active with. Goodbye to Ello, Blogger, Instagram, Fickr and snapchat. Oh, and Pinterest. I just give zero fucks about Pinterest. I am keeping twitter, facebook, google plus and Tumblr.
I also killed my custom private web page, and will just use this blog as my primary communications platform (since it works and syndicates data to other platforms so well). I'm going to work on the layout a bit, but nothing crazy. Visuals are not my thing.
And I guess that's what is driving this: not only realizing what I'm not, but accepting it and working with that. I think it's an important step.

Most people know that Nazareth is the hometown of Jesus. Most Christians have read the account in the gospel of the moment in time when Jesus publicly announced that He was the Messiah. (Luke 4: 21)
ARTICLE EXCERPT: "Jesus grew up in Nazareth. He studied and prayed in a synagogue, the ruins of which are believed to lie beneath a church built by the Crusaders in the 12th Century and that is known as The Synagogue Church."
No doubt a visit to this historic place is a numbered item on the bucket list for many believers. For me, this wonderful article by a fellow freelance writer and friend, Sheri Oz, puts a wonderful spin on the phrase "footsteps of Jesus".
Jesus' Synagogue Church in Nazareth, Israel

If you have suffered serious burns because of the reckless or negligent actions of another contact a Denver personal injury attorney to advise you on the urgent legal matters surrounding the injury claim. Such cases often result in permanent damages, and a careful review of the situation by a skilled attorney is vital for the injured victim.
Burns can be categorized in three ways; first degree, second degree and third degree, the most serious being third degree burns. Causes of burns range from:
- Automobile accidents
- Fires
- Chemical burns due to toxic materials
- Scalding from steam in industrial or other accidents
- Electrical burns
Burns have occurred because of unsafe industrial sites, inadequate education on product packages, arson or vehicle accidents. When you need advice on proceeding with your burn injury claim, the lawyers at Anderson Hemmat have an impressive track record in helping victims of all types of accidents and can inform you of all your legal options. Call today to set up an appointment to evaluate your case.
Have You Suffered from Burns Due to an Accident?
You deserve compensation for your losses if you have been injured because of the reckless disregard of another for your safety or that of a family member. Having experienced legal counsel on your side can make all the difference in maximizing the compensation you receive. Covering medical costs, plastic surgery for any disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life and the emotional and psychological effects of serious burns are the goals we work towards. In many cases, insurance companies may attempt to contact you, but remember they are representing the other side, and do not your best interests in mind. Contact an attorney from our legal team before answering questions from an insurance adjuster, as your responses can affect the outcome of the injury case and you need legal protection in any serious injury case. If you are pursuing a burn injury accident claim, contact a Denver burn injury attorney to help in furthering your case.

Disclaimer: This post contains images that were downloaded and uploaded again from Facebook and photographs of physical photographs. Quality may be slightly compromised in these images, but that actually is part of the point!
Imagine that it is 60 years in the future. Your grandchildren and great grandchildren are sitting around the kitchen table talking about you. What your life was like. What you looked like when you were young. If you're still living…perhaps you'll be able to describe yourself to them. If you've since passed on…your image is left to their imagination. Why? Because you grew up in the digital age. Every photo, every memory, even every piece of artwork was photographed and then uploaded on a branch of social media that has long since been defunct. Every photo taken during your lifetime is in a hope chest, trapped on a USB stick or a CD that doesn't play on any of today's devices.
Does this sound unrealistic? Stop for a second. Have you tried to access photos posted on Myspace 10 years ago? They're not there anymore. You can't even Google them. (I've tried!) Do you guys remember floppy disks? Even most cars today don't come with a CD player. And as we move to the age of tablets, we may be moving away from USB drives.
Now…let's take a trip back 40 years…60 years. Look in your parent's closets. On their walls. In their photo albums. You'll probably find priceless gems like these:
I got married almost 8 years ago. Look at these beautiful images!! All uploaded to Facebook. If I tried to save and print any of these today, they would look tragic thanks to Facebook compression of images. As you can see, these downloads aren't as sharp as they should be. Luckily, my images are still stored on a disc. In a safe. Not a single photo from my wedding is on my walls. What if that disc was lost? What if social media ceased? This amazing day…the day I married my soul mate would be lost.
(all wedding images by Brandi Smith Photography)
This is why I strongly believe in preserving our memories in print. I collaborate with a professional photo lab that guarantees their images for a lifetime at top notch quality. I take the hassle out of resizing, uploading, ordering, and picking up your prints for you. You have nothing stopping you, no excuses, from preserving your memories to stand the test of time. Once you select your images, I prepare them for printing and order them for you. They are delivered to me to be inspected for quality control. Then, I personally deliver them safely to you, at your convenience. I do understand the desire to share your photos on social media. Many people have far reaching family and friends and this is how you communicate with them! That's why for every image you purchase, you also receive an accompanying low resolution, watermarked social media file for sharing. Because, it's hard to take pictures OF pictures. But, there is absolutely no substitution for having those tangible moments right there in your hands. To run your fingers across when they are old and wrinkled and to hand over to the next generation.

Portuguese Manners in Portugal's Historic Manors
When Robert Frost spoke of the path less traveled by, he certainly wasn't referring to Portugal. And in particular, the Solares de Portugal.
But he could have been.
Far from the frenetic pace of Europe's homogenized, Americanized urban centers, and virtually unvisited by North American travelers,
Portugal offers a vibrant, authentic, relatively new kind of travel: Solares de Portugal, "houses of family heritage."
These are the country's historic family homes, manors, mini-palaces and cottages open to guests clever and patient enough to have figured out how to get to them.
Each Solares property must be at least a hundred years old to qualify for the designation.
While some have been occupied by the same family from the 14th and 15th centuries, all have been renovated to preserve the integrity and beauty of the original, while providing modern comforts for today's travelers.
But above all, each Solares member is a part of an existing, established family, with a history and a deep connection to the region's traditional ways of life. The owners are on the premises, and all of them are passionate about sharing the history and customs of their homes and region.
These out-of-the-way "finds" have no reception desks.
There are no cute bottles of shampoo.
No professional staff.
There are workers who work the land and manage the property, but that's it.
It's an authentic travel experience in the rural heartland of Portugal, where guests become part of Portugal's rich rural life – paths less traveled by.
And each is uniquely different from the other; each is shaped by the character of the land, the family history…and ultimately, the personality of the owner.
Most of the Solares are around the town of Ponte de Lima, in the Minhao region, Portugal's "soul" where the country's roots and origins lie.
We stayed at two Solares treasures there: Paco de Calheiros and Paco de Cipriano,
Calheiros sits on a hillside like a dowager queen festooned with wild wisteria. It's a sprawling, two-towered mansion with stone balconies, and seemingly countless doors, windows and high wooden shutters. The fruit trees bend under the weight of the lemons, oranges and almonds and the sound of the water from the stone fountains blends contrapuntally with those of distant roosters and dogs barking somewhere over the hills. Unseen bells toll the time.
Inside, the manor house rambles along blue tiled, cool halls. The rooms are big, maybe 14×18' with blue azulejos tiles in the entry ways and orange terra cotta floors. White thick walls are partially covered with brocaded drapes, and the tall French doors open on to a flowered terrace and uninterrupted views of dramatic hills, olive groves, orange tiled roofs and rows of grape vines. The dark, antique furniture adds depth and warmth, and the bathrooms an artful and simple combination of traditional décor and modern fixtures.
There are no TV's in the rooms. No phones. No internet connections. There are white and blue porcelain vases filled with proud Calla Lilies next to a simple glass water pitcher.
And of course there's. Francisco de Calheiros. Count Calheiros, whose family has owned the impressive home since the 12th century. He's artfully added 10 rooms and a few apartments where the stables once were, but otherwise has done little to alter the stately architecture and 380 degree vista of the valleys, water wheels and stone houses.
Paco de Cipriano, is both rustic, elegant…and continuously occupied since the 15th century. It once hosted weary pilgrims on the way to Santiago de Compostela, and owner Dom Joao de Santiago greets guests with a keen desire to share his knowledge about its history and the land. This moss covered mansion with its carved gardens, water falls, forested hillside and ancient stone chapel is very different from Casa do Tamanqueiro, an 18th century rustic cottage set on a working farm. The two bedrooms have double beds and a fireplace. The granite kitchen is authentic, but modified with modern conveniences, and grape arbor stretches lazily from the house to the river. Tamanqueiro is fully furnished…and the owners deliver breakfast to the door.
At Casa de Santo Antonio de Britiande, Anne Maria and Antonio Riberio, have vividly combined the medieval features of their 16th century home with the eloquence of understated modern art, sacred paintings and traditional crafts. A golden oak staircase sweeps sinuously along exposed, very old stone walls… and meals might include a goose egg from their farm, herbs from their garden, wine from their vineyard, or a Port from 1925.
The Solares are a traveler's treasure hunt. Torturously winding roads alternate with efficient highways. The countryside changes with delightful whimsy from the stunning Douro valley to the quiet Basto Region best known for its sparkling white wine. And since the traveler never knows what the next Solares will be like, it's all about discovery. Which, Maro Polo once said, is what travel is all about.

The octopus is a very adaptable creature. It can shrink itself to fit into a discarded beer bottle for temporary shelter; can change color, and squirt a cloud of ink to camouflage its escape from danger.
Dr. Rafe Sagarin thinks humans have a lot to learn from the adaptability of the octopus - and from nature in general. Sagarin is an associate scientist and marine ecologist with the Institute of the Environment, and Biosphere 2, at the University of Arizona. He's also the author of two recent books: "Learning from the Octopus" and "Observation and Ecology: Broadening the Scope of Science to Understand a Complex World."
Sagarin is in Missoula to give a talk in the President's lecture series at the University of Montana. In this feature interview, he talks with News Director Sally Mauk about his belief that we can apply lessons from nature to address problems like global terrorism, infectious diseases and natural disasters.

You just got to go for it! At least that is what I hear ... right? So hear goes nothing - I finally started my own website! It's been on my heart for a while and I finally decided just go for it!
What's my plan for this you ask? To share my love of health and fitness and help YOU along the way! I want this site to be packed FULL of clean eats and sweet treats (both my favorite), fitness adventures, tips to help you lead a healthier lifestyle but most of all I want to empower YOU to be brave enough to take the steps toward your own dreams and goals.
It has been quite the adventure putting this site together. As in any journey starting at square one can be intimidating and overwhelming. Note to self: Rome was not built in a day. By working on something a bit at a time and learning one small thing every day and applying it the task at hand becomes much easier to conquer.
Thank you for following me. I look forward to your comments, feedback and emails. Let the adventure begin!

Gleaners, Feeding America and ConAgra Foods Team Up To Fight Summer Hunger
October 11, 2016
Youth Programs
One out of six children in Indiana faces hunger. While schools do a good job of offering lunches – and often breakfast – during the school year, summer can be an increasingly food insecure time for children. This is why Feeding America®, the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief organization, and ConAgra Foods Foundation have partnered to provide meals to kids and families when they need them most through the Hunger-Free Summer program. Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, a Feeding America member food bank, was one of 27 food banks that have received a Hunger-Free Summer grant, funded by the ConAgra Foods Foundation. "Summer can be an especially hard time for families who already are struggling to make ends meet," said John Elliott, President and CEO of Gleaners. "We are thankful to ConAgra Foods Foundation for its support of the Hunger-Free Summer program. Working together, we were able to support more families in our 21-county service area by ensuring their children have access to healthy meals." When school lets out across the country, 18 million children who rely on free or reduced-price school meals are left without access to the nutritious meals that nourish them during the school year. For the seventh consecutive summer, more than 20 communities across the country will have support to strengthen their summer feeding programs from ConAgra Foods Foundation which has been a dedicated supporter of Feeding America for over 20 years. "This initiative extends our reach with the Feeding America network and directs support to the organizations that work directly in the communities to impact the significant issue of food insecurity across the country," says Robert Rizzo, ConAgra Foods Foundation. "Through the distribution of additional summertime meals, we hope to have a positive impact on the lives of children, giving them the fuel they need to grow, learn and play, so that they can reach their full potential." The Hunger-Free Summer grant enabled Gleaners to provide 181,434 additional meals, to 1,114 children in 10 counties in central and southeast Indiana. To join the cause and learn how you can help bridge the gap for children and families during fall and spring breaks, holiday vacation and other out of school days, visit gleaners.org/donate.

When the sadhaka (spiritual aspirant) has combined bhakti yoga and karma yoga, he feels that God does everything, that he is an instrument in the hands of God. Thus he slowly frees himself from the bonds of karma and attains freedom through action.
When the sadhaka combines jnana yoga with karma yoga he feels that prakriti (nature) does everything. He feels that he is the silent witness of the activities of the mind, the senses and the three states (waking, dream and deep sleep).
The karma yogi feels the indwelling presence everywhere. He develops adaptability, He shares all he has (physical, mental and spiritual) with others. He observes strict brahmacharya. He offers all his works unto the Lord. Before going to sleep he says: "O Lord, whatever I have done today is done as worship of thee. May thou be pleased to accept it." Thus he burns the fruits of action, and he is no longer bound.
The karma yogi attains freedom through action. Thus he gets purity of heart and, through purity of heart, he attains knowledge of the self.
Some aspirants are humble at the beginning of their career. But, when they get name, fame, some followers, some disciples - they become victims of pride. Now they cannot do any service, they cannot carry anything on their heads or even in their hands.
The yogi that carries the baggage with joy and feeling, amidst a multitude of admirers, without making any show of humility, must be admired.

"Restraining and subduing the senses, regarding everything equally, rejoicing in the welfare of all, these alone come to Me." (Bhagavad Gita, Chapter XII, Verse 4). Such a man becomes a good karma yogi. He reaches the goal quickly.
