Symptoms You May Experience With Lower Back Pain
How Can Chiropractic Treatment Help Low Back Pain?
Chiropractic care is a safe, natural, and effective way to treat lower back pain. Dr. Dee at Healing Hands Chiropractic will assess the position of your spine and other joints in order to determine if any subluxations or misalignments are present. These subluxations are often the source of lower back pain!
Dr. Dee may do a series of tests or x-rays to determine the best course of treatment for your lower back pain. This allows her to see if any subluxations are present, and the allows her to determine the best therapies to use to treat your pain.
Next, Dr. Dee and the patient will discuss the best treatment options available. Through spinal manipulation, chiropractic care will restore alignment to your spine, improve mobility in the neck and spine, reduce irritation on the spinal nerve, and alleviate your lower back pain. In addition to chiropractic, Dr. Dee may suggest therapeutic exercises to help treat your lower back pain. All of these tactics focus on treating your lower back pain and its source, so that it can be fixed once and for all.
The Agency for Health Care Research and Quality recommends taking a conservative approach to lower back pain treatment, and chiropractic care is just that. Healing Hands Chiropractic believes in the body's ability to heal itself when the spine is properly aligned and the nervous system is functioning as it should. Chiropractic is widely accepted and recognized as one of the safest, natural, and non-invasive treatment options for nerve, muscle, and joint pain.
Do not accept lower back pain as part of your life. Contact contact Healing Hands Chiropractic today to discuss treatment options today!
What are the Benefits of Chiropractic?
Traditional treatment methods of lower back pain include over the counter medications, prescription medications, steroid injections, and even surgery. Unfortunately, these types of treatments are expensive, accompanied with nasty side effects, and do not treat lower back pain at its source. These treatments will temporarily alleviate lower back pain, but because they do not treat the root of the issue, the pain will return time and time again.
Chiropractic treatment of lower back pain treats back pain at its source. Dr. Dee will identify any subluxations that are present in the spine and contributing to your discomfort. When subluxations are present in the spine, the nervous system is unable to function as it should. This leads to an array of health issues such as lower back pain, headaches, poor posture, sleep disorders, and more. By realigning the spine, chiropractic care restores function to the nervous system, allowing it to function as it should. When the nervous system functions as it should, the body can heal itself, as it is naturally designed to do.
A properly functioning nervous system has benefits that extend far beyond back pain relief. Benefits of chiropractic care include:
- Improved nerve communication in the body
- Better physical function and performance
- Faster recovery from exercise or injuries
- Relief from many types of pain
- Improved concentration and focus
- Stress relief
- Improved immune system
- Better sleep
Chiropractic care helps treat lower back pain by:
- Providing a doctor that specializes in identifying the source of back pain
- Correcting nerve interference in the spine
- Utilizing chiropractic adjustments to correct subluxations in the spine
- Offering patients natural, drug-free ways to treat their pain

For people with medical health conditions such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder or narcolepsy, prescription stimulants such as Adderall or Ritalin can be help increase energy, attention and alertness. Unfortunately, prescription stimulants are also frequently misused, and over time that abuse can cause an addiction to prescription stimulants to develop.
Prescription stimulants abuse or addiction can have negative effects on all areas of a person's life, including their work, school, and family responsibilities; relationships with friends and family; and physical health, mental health, and emotional health. Ultimately, a prescription stimulants addiction could lead to an overdose and death.
It's never too late to start on the road to recovery with prescription stimulants treatment. Read on to learn more about addiction to stimulants and the treatment options available through The Phoenix Recovery and Counseling Centers.
A definition of stimulant is a substance that temporarily increases alertness and energy. Prescription stimulants increase the activity of two chemicals in the brain: dopamine and norepinephrine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps to control the reward and pleasure centers of the brain. Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter that affects parts of the brain involving attention, but it also has physiological effects such as increasing heart rate and blood sugar and decreasing blood flow in the body.
Examples of Prescription Stimulants
This list of stimulants includes some examples of common prescription stimulant drugs that are subject to abuse, listed by brand name with generic drug composition in parentheses.
Prescription stimulant addictions develop when people misuse or abuse prescription stimulants. Misuse involves taking a prescription stimulant in an amount or method other than what was prescribed, taking someone else's prescription stimulant, or using it only to achieve a desired effect such as to enhance focus or get high.
Many people believe prescription stimulants are safer than "street drugs" or that they are not in danger of becoming addicted because the stimulants are prescribed by doctors, but this is not the case. The stimulants effects can still be dangerous.
The number of people misusing prescription stimulants is sobering. According to the American Psychological Association, in 2015, an estimated 17.2 million Americans over the age of 12 took a prescription stimulant — and an estimated 5.3 million of Americans misused them.
Apart from treating legitimate medical conditions, prescription stimulants give people who take or abuse them a sense of euphoria or a "rush," according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIH).
Even when a prescription stimulant has been prescribed by a doctor and is taken as directed to help with a condition, a person can develop a tolerance to it over time and need more frequent or higher doses to achieve the same effect they previously had. This can lead to the development of a substance use disorder (SUD), where using the drug begins to take a negative toll on other areas of the person's life, such as work, school, and home life. Another symptom is that health problems can begin to develop. Over time and without help, an SUD can escalate to a full-on addiction.
People who have an addiction to prescription stimulants can experience a symptom of withdrawal if they stop using the substance. Symptoms of stimulant withdrawal can include sleep problems, fatigue, depression, anxiety and irritability, thoughts of suicide, an inability to feel pleasure, and intense drug cravings.
An overdose of prescription stimulants can occur if a person takes so much that a life-threatening reaction occurs, the most common symptom of which is heart attack or seizure. Other side effects of stimulants that harm health can include restlessness, tremors, overactive reflexes, rapid breathing, confusion, aggression, hallucinations, panic stats, abnormally increased fever, muscle pains, weakness, heart attack, seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions and coma — and the symptom list goes on, according to the National Institutes of Health.
In the event of an overdose, immediate medical attention is necessary for stimulant overdose treatment to help restore blood flow to the heart or stop the seizure, depending on the case.
Behavioral therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and contingency management are considered by the National Institutes of Health to be effective forms of help and treatment for prescription stimulant addiction.
The Phoenix Recovery and Counseling Centers are dedicated to providing the care and treatment each individual needs to overcome a prescription stimulant drug addiction. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), prescription medications, self-care, and outpatient programs can all play a role in treatment. Depending on an individual's specific circumstances, he or she may be placed in one of these treatment programs: Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) Day Program, Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), or General Outpatient Program (GOP). Cases requiring Residential Treatment for stabilization will be connected with a partnering residential treatment facility.
The Phoenix Recovery and Counseling Centers goes to every length to realize its mission statement: "Empowering individuals and families suffering from addiction and mental health disorders to celebrate life through lasting solutions."
Research defines our tailored programs and recovery experiences, and we make every effort to support outcomes where patients as well as their families can reclaim a meaningful life through knowledge and applied behaviors implemented during treatment. We also provide a weekly Alumni Support Meeting to give all of our alumni an additional recovery support community.
We look forward to hearing from you and helping you or a loved one begin the journey toward recovery. The Phoenix Recovery and Counseling Centers will be with you every step of the way.

Euro, Stocks Roll Over as Pessimism Returns From Morning Coffee Break
Hope you enjoyed that risk-on rally, because it's fading already.
The Dow is up just 41 points, about a third of its earlier gain, and the S&P is up 4 points. The Nasdaq has dipped into the red.
The euro, which earlier crossed back above $1.30, is flitting in and out of the red.
The 10-year Treasury note yield is back down to 1.91%, not far from where it was yesterday.
Commodities are all turning red, with gold now down another 1%.
There are just a few headlines on the tape, but maybe they're enough in this environment to knock things lower, despite this morning's raft of better than expected US economic data:

Borussia Dortmund's fans stayed at home in protest and Augsburg left with a point as the hosts had a disappointing night at the Westfalenstadion. Dortmund dropped two points in the race for a Champions League place and were followed by 'just' 54,300 fans. That crowd was almost 25,000 down on average as supporters protested against the match being moved to Monday night. Marco Reus had put the home side ahead but Kevin Danso scored from a corner to leave Dortmund frustrated. They stay second but are only three points ahead of RB Leipzig in sixth place.
Up to 15,000 Dortmund fans were expected to miss the game – only the second televised Monday match of a new broadcasting deal – in protest at the move but more stayed away, no doubt swayed by freezing temperatures of -6C. Before kick-off, stadium announcer Norbert Dickel was cheered by the crowd as he said: "We respect the opinion of those who have chosen to stay at home. We are also against a further stretching out of the weekend and will be raising this when the next TV deal is discussed." A banner was also on display that read: "For fairer kick-off times for fans – no to Monday games." Dortmund looked sharp in the first half, with Reus sweeping into the roof of the net after Andre Schurrle's fine ball in was half cut out. But they were sloppy after the break, and were punished for poor marking at a corner when Danso was able to convert his own rebound after his header was saved.

Instructional Objectives After completion of this Module, the student shall know about 1. Hydrologic cycle and its components 2. Distribution of earth's water resources 3. Distribution of fresh water on earth 4. Rainfall distribution in India 5. Land and water resources of India; water development potential 6. Need for development of water resources 7. Forms and Types of precipitation 8. Methods of Measurement of Precipitation 9. Presentation and interpretation of rainfall data 10. Abstractions from Precipitation INTRODUCTION Water on the surface of earth is available in the atmosphere, the oceans, on land and within the soil and fractured rock of the earth's crust. Water molecules from one location to another are driven due to the solar energy transmitted to the surface of the earth from Sun. Moisture circulates from the earth into the atmosphere through evaporation and then back into the earth as precipitation. Hydrology: It is the study of physical geographic which deals with the origin, distribution and properties of water present in earth surface. Hydrological Cycle:Precipitation ↑ Condensation ↑ Formation of Clouds ↑ Evaporation ↑ Ocean
Water Budget Equation:Mass inflow – Mass outflow = Change in storage P – R – G – E – T = ∆S Where, P = Precipitation T = Transpiration G = Ground water Resources R = Runoff E = Evaporation ∆S = Chang in Storage Catchment Area:River Streams
World Water Balance:Total quantity of water in the world is estimated to be about 1386 million cubic kilometer (M Km3). About 96.5% of this water is contained in the oceans as saline water. Some of the water on the land amounting to about 1% of the total water is also saline. Thus, only about 35.0 M Km 3 of fresh water is available. Out of this about 10.6 M Km3 is both liquid and fresh and the remaining 24.4 M Km 3 is contained in frozen state as ice in the polar regions and on mountain tops and glaciers. PRECIPITATION INTRODUCTION: The term "precipitation" denotes all forms of water that reach the earth from the atmosphere. The usual forms are rainfall, snowfall, hail, frost and dew. The magnitude of precipitation varies with time and space. For precipitation to form: (i) the atmosphere must have moisture, (ii) there must be sufficient nuclei present to aid condensation , (iii) weather conditions must be good for condensation of water vapour to take place, and (iv) the products of condensation must reach the earth. FORMS OF PRECIPITATION: Some of the common forms of precipitation are rain, snow, drizzle, glaze, sleet and hail. 1. Rain
It is the principal form of precipitation in India. The term rainfall is used to describe precipitation in the form of water drops of sizes larger than 0.5mm. The maximum size of a raindrop is 6mm. Any drop larger in size than this tends to break up into drops of smaller sizes during its fall from the clouds. On the basis of its intensity rainfall is classified as follows: Light rain: trace to 2.5 mm/hr Moderate rain: 2.5mm/hr to 7.5mm/hr Heavy rain: > 7.5mm/hr 2. Snow Snow is another important form of precipitation. Snow consists of ice crystals which usually combine to form flakes. When fresh, snow has an initial density varying from 0.06 to 0.15g/cm3 and it is usual to assume an average density of 0.1 g /cm3. In India, snow occurs only in the Himalayan regions. 3. Drizzle A fine sprinkle of numerous water droplets of size less than 0.5mm and intensity less than 1mm/hr is known as drizzle. In this, the drops are so small that they appear to float in the air. 4. Glaze When rain or drizzle comes in contact with cold ground at 0 0C, the water drops freeze to form an ice coating called glaze or freezing rain. 5. Sleet It is frozen raindrops of transparent grains which form when rain falls through air at sub freezing temperature. In Britain, sleet denotes precipitation of snow and rain simultaneously. 6. Hail It is a showery precipitation in the forms of irregular pellets of lump of ice of size more than 8mm. Hails occur in violent thunderstorms in which vertical currents are very strong. WEATHER SYSTEMS FOR PRECIPITATION: For the formation of clouds and subsequent precipitation, it is necessary that the moist air masses cool to form condensation. This is normally accomplished by adiabatic cooling of moist air through a process of being lifted to higher altitude. Some of the terms and processes connected with weather systems associated with precipitation are given below. 1. Front A front is the interface between two distinct air masses. Under certain favorable conditions when a warm air mass and cold air mass meet, the warmer air mass is lifted over the colder one with the formation of front. The ascending warmer air cools adiabatically with the consequent formation of clouds and precipitation. 2. cyclone

An internal database channel previously initialized using %SSC_INIT and connected by %SSC_CONNECT. (n)
The ID number of an open database cursor (opened with %SSC_OPEN). This must be in the range 1 through the number specified by maxcur when the database channel was initialized (with %SSC_INIT). (n)
The number of host variables in the SELECT statement, up to the maximum number of columns specified by the maxcol argument in %SSC_INIT. If numvars is negative, the define variables are overwritten rather than appended. (n)
One to numvars host variables. The number of var variables passed must equal the value of numvars. (a, n, or String)
%SSC_DEFINE defines host variables to variables specified in a SELECT statement. Depending on the numvars setting, the definitions are either appended to the variables for the SELECT statement, or the SELECT statement variables are overwritten with the host variable definitions. %SSC_DEFINE affects only those variables that are used when %SSC_EXECUTE is called.
The total number of defined variables used by %SSC_MOVE must match the number of columns defined by the SELECT statement. For example, if there are 20 host variables in the SELECT statement, you could use one %SSC_DEFINE to append definitions for all 20 variables, or two %SSC_DEFINEs with 10 variables each, or any other combination as long as the number of variables defined by the %SSC_DEFINE call(s) exactly matches the number of variables described by %SSC_OPEN in the SELECT statement before %SSC_MOVE is called:
You can use %SSC_DESCSQL if you are uncertain about the number of variables to define (for example, if you use a SELECT * statement). For more information, see %SSC_DESCSQL. For more information on defining variables, see Defining variables.

The issue is not whether an unborn child is a human life, or whether there is a God in whose eyes that life is sacred and its destruction profane, both of which are truths any honest religious faith must readily admit. The question is whether a civil government should use its power, by force of law and arms, to compel unhappily pregnant women to give birth against their will.I
f you had met me thirty years ago, you would have encountered a rather self-assured fellow with a clear vision of the moral landscape in which he lived. Steeped in dialectics at a Jesuit law school and possessed of the trademark zeal of a convert to the faith, I volunteered to teach religious confirmation classes to public-school kids in my Catholic parish and lead youth group discussions.
On the subject of Roe v. Wade, I equipped young people with the tools to argue against the idea that abortion is not really the murder of a human being. It was an easy fight. After all, seeking to fix a point at which a continually developing fetus becomes "human" on the presumption that, until then, it can be destroyed without any moral qualms, is a fool's errand. On that field of battle the god of science was always squarely on the side of the Church. The DNA of a fetus in the first minute of life is not just fully formed but set in stone, as it were, containing all the genetic markers of humanity that the adult will carry to the grave. The argument that humanity does not vest until the point during pregnancy when a fetus becomes "viable," meaning that it can survive outside the womb, seemed equally absurd. Coma patients are kept alive only by external measures, yet no doctor in the land would pull the plug on a patient expected to awake healthy and well in exactly nine months' time. Few people—least of all expectant parents from the very moment they get the happy news that they are pregnant—would accept the notion that the ability to live without help from others is the sine qua non of a child's human nature.
Despite this flawed logic, the majority in Roe v. Wade chose the criterion of fetal viability to establish but also limit to the first trimester a woman's absolute right to terminate a pregnancy. Conflating humanity and viability was nothing more than a rhetorical fig leaf. Crafted in an era of dawning sexual freedom, the court's opinion in Roe was driven not so much by any social or scientific consensus on what makes us human as by the political will to ensure safe and legal access to abortion for newly liberated middle class women. Yet, by conceding that society must take pains not to destroy a viable fetus, the Roe majority uneasily affirmed that human life, with its attendant rights of citizenship under our constitution, necessarily begins at some point before birth. But when, exactly? This was the briar patch into which pro-life activists happily dove and where they have thrived for the past fifty years.
For my confirmation students, the legal argument was more easily grasped: Our constitution guarantees equal protection under the law to every human being. As once explained with characteristic common sense by President Reagan, as long as there is reasonable disagreement and doubt on the question of when human life begins, the benefit of the doubt must go to the one who will suffer the greatest and most irreparable harm should we decide the question unjustly. It was all so terribly obvious. Then one day, the landscape of the abortion debate shifted for me.
I was in Durham, North Carolina, defending an obstetrician accused of malpractice for failing to order an emergency C-section soon enough to save the life of a pre-term infant. The evidence showed that the mother had suffered a placental abruption that was unknown to her doctor when she went into labor dangerously early. The placenta is the membrane that forms in the wall of the uterus during pregnancy and through which maternal blood carrying oxygen and nutrients is delivered to the fetus. During a placental abruption the placenta pulls away prematurely from the uterine wall. The subsequent bleeding slowly deprives the fetus of the normal flow of maternal blood and oxygen. This causes distress in the form of contractions, pain, and fluctuations in fetal heart-rate and rhythm that can mimic what occurs during ordinary labor, making diagnosis difficult. This mother suffered a particularly insidious form of abruption known as a Couvelaire uterus in which the bleeding remains contained within the uterine wall and thus hidden from detection by ultrasound.
The mother's medical records revealed that she was a heavy smoker who had been warned that continued smoking would endanger the life of her baby. In a routine deposition, she admitted she continued to smoke during pregnancy. She further admitted she had been counseled on the harmful effects of smoking during pregnancy and had chosen to smoke anyway.
Unlike in some states, a plaintiff whose own negligence contributes even slightly to her injury cannot recover damages from a negligent defendant in North Carolina. After examining tissue specimens of the mother's placenta, a pathologist made our defense chillingly clear: Smoking damages blood vessels. The damage is immediate and becomes irreparable with continued smoking and repeated injury to the vessel walls. Seen under a microscope, the vasculature in this mother's placenta looked like the plumbing in a hundred-year-old house, with damaged, broken and leaking veins diverting life-giving blood away from the baby. The expert testified it was a reasonable medical certainty the mother's smoking had proximately caused the abruption and resulting death of her child.
When the case went to trial, the judge was understandably reluctant to ask the jury to decide whether the mother's negligence contributed to the death of her child. Negligence presupposes a duty of care. In the era of Roe v. Wade, would it be constitutional to find that the mother had a legal duty to protect the life of her unborn child and had sacrificed her legal rights by failing to do so? After wrestling with this dilemma for three days, the judge submitted the issue of the mother's conduct to the jury but informed the lawyers privately that he would set aside any verdict based on a finding of maternal negligence and let the Court of Appeals decide what duty, if any, the mother had.
In the end, the question was moot. The jury decided that the doctor was not liable for the death of the child, as a result of which they never reached the issue of the mother's behavior. But the questions raised by the child's death lingered with me.
It remains in my view the correct interpretation of settled law, even under a regime of abortion rights, that a mother cannot recklessly injure her unborn child with one hand and, with the other, collect damages from her doctor for failing to save the child from the effects of that same injury. But that's not the point of my story. This case in Durham made me consider deeply for the first time the profound impracticality of regarding an unborn child as a citizen with rights and privileges inapposite to the rights and privileges of the citizen in whose body the child lives. Banning abortion is about protecting unborn children, but if a mother can abort or seriously harm her child through indifference to prenatal health (smoking being just one example), how far, practically and morally speaking, are we prepared to intervene in the daily lives of women of child-bearing age to protect the unborn? If we invest all unborn children with full rights of citizenship, the answer would seem to be, "As far as we would go to rescue someone from a burning building." In other words, as far as it takes. But have we really considered what dramatic changes that would portend for our society?
The troublesome biological reality is that during pregnancy, mother and child stand before the power of the State not as two persons but one. The State cannot champion the rights of unborn children without curtailing the rights of millions of women and relegating them, for a substantial portion of their lives, to a second-class citizenship with towering civic duties unknown to men and wildly more invasive than most of us in our everyday lives would tolerate government to demand.
We could stipulate that every fetus is a human child, that saving the lives of unborn children is an unquestionable good, and that to kill them is an unspeakable evil, and still come no closer to resolving this controversy. If choosing goodness over evil were the only criterion of sound policy, the debate would end there. But of course it doesn't end there. What makes public policy "public" is that we collectively consent to the use of force, if ultimately necessary, to see it carried out. We must decide whether the goodness we seek can be achieved in a world that sanctions the threat of official violence and the use of brute force to compel women to give birth against their will. Stated more plainly, the public question is not merely whether to choose life over death, but whether we shall create a society in which uniformed officers carrying night sticks and handcuffs force women to choose as we command.
It is one thing—and to be sure, no small thing—to insist that women who are unhappily pregnant endure, by government coercion, nine months of gestation followed by the extraordinary physical and emotional trauma of childbirth. But as the case in Durham so tragically revealed, any honest argument that the State has a constitutional duty to protect the unborn child against violence must concede that the job doesn't end with criminalizing abortion. After all, a six-year old deprived of clean clothes and a loving home is in no danger of death but will still be swiftly separated from his mother by child protective agencies. How does the State uphold its duty when the victim cannot be separated from the body of a mother who smokes, drinks, eats too little or too much, or fails to adhere to a plan for adequate prenatal care?
Abortion is only one means by which children in the womb are brutalized. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, children whose mothers fail to obtain prenatal care are three times more likely to be born underweight and five times more likely to die.[i]
In view of these sobering facts, the justice that would be demanded by fetal citizenship is as obvious as it is ominous: a vigilant State would not merely criminalize abortion but also deeply intrude upon the daily lives of expectant mothers—pressing its will by force and incarceration if necessary—whenever there is probable cause to believe the mother's lifestyle may be unhealthy for her unborn child. And what of those fetal-citizens whose mothers may injure them unawares in the critical first weeks of pregnancy? To avoid the needless death or deformity of a single child, should not a vigilant State require all women of child-bearing age to submit regularly to pregnancy tests and present proof of their reproductive status before they are served alcohol or sold cigarettes or certain medications?
Those too young to consider seriously the possibility of such pervasive government intrusion into the lives of women would do well to brush up on their history. Until 1965, when the Supreme Court in a split-decision in Griswold v. Connecticut found that a fundamental right of marital privacy was implied in the Bill of Rights, it was a crime in the state of Connecticut for anyone to use any drug or device to prevent conception. Absurdly, that meant that a police officer with probable cause to believe that a husband and wife were committing the crime of having sex while using a condom could arrest them and demand that the condom be removed. Until the Supreme Court decision in Eisenstadt v. Baird in 1972, twenty-six states still prohibited the sale of contraceptives to unmarried persons. Now imagine a world in which the womb of an unwilling mother-to-be is legally no different than the underground cave in which those Thai boys were famously stranded a few years ago, deserving to be safely extracted by their government at any cost. How many doctors and neighbors would wish to serve in a network of informants telling the police who may be pregnant, who is smoking, who is drinking, and who isn't taking her prenatal vitamins? America is already a country where parents can go to jail if neighbors see their adolescent child playing alone in a city park. A new prenatal Gestapo could be the well-intentioned but Orwellian outcome of a pro-life movement determined to invest unborn children with the rights of citizenship that would make abortion a crime.
Of course, it is one thing to say that a woman shall no longer have a constitutional right to abortion and quite another to say a fetus shall have a constitutional right to life. A future Supreme Court wishing to overturn Roe v. Wade could decide the former question without also deciding the latter. Roe v. Wade took from the states the authority to criminalize abortion. A future Supreme Court could give it back to them on the grounds that there is nothing in the Bill of Rights that prohibits such a law and that the Roe majority was wrong, fifty years ago, to infer otherwise. In the wake of such a decision, abortion at least for a time would be outlawed in some states and not others. The battle would eventually return to the high court when some state passed a law recognizing a woman's access to abortion in that state as a constitutional right—something no state has needed to do since Roe made that decision for all states in 1973. This would set up a legal challenge exactly in reverse of the one mounted by Jane Roe. Instead of a woman seeking the right to abort her baby, the plaintiff would be an unborn child seeking the right to life. At that point, the Supreme Court would have to decide whether and when an unborn child becomes, at some point during gestation, a citizen protected by our constitution.
Admittedly, no one can be sure that a criminal justice system of prenatal surveillance would necessarily follow the creation of a fetal right to life. There are obvious enforcement problems, and state governments weren't terribly concerned with criminalizing prenatal neglect back when abortion was still a crime (although we know a lot more about prenatal injury now than we did then). But what would it say about the pro-life argument if we were asked to believe that concerns about pre-natal surveillance in a post-Roe America are unfounded? If you believe a fetus in the womb is a human child deserving of the protections of citizenship and you acknowledge the many ways in which an indifferent or unwitting mother can pose a mortal danger to the citizen in her womb, why wouldn't you demand a law-enforcement regime of prenatal surveillance? To suggest otherwise would seem to lend credence to the feminist view that the pro-life movement, cheered loudest by a Catholic priesthood that has shown widespread contempt for the safety of vulnerable children and a Republican Party that champions the death penalty, has less to do with saving lives than turning back the clock on societal changes that have upended traditional roles for women.
Finally, some would say that dystopian images of a post-Roe America as something out of The Handmaid's Tale are overwrought. Such politicians and public figures are careful to direct their animus not against expectant mothers but rather the doctors and clinics comprising the abortion industry that, in the United States alone, receives over a billion dollars annually for its services. At a town hall meeting on March 30, 2016, candidate Donald Trump was swiftly condemned for initially stating that "there has to be some form of punishment" for a woman who has an abortion. His campaign later issued a rare retraction, stating that only doctors and clinics, not mothers, would be punished if abortion were outlawed. A great many other politicians (and, no doubt, many of the people at pro-life marches) share this sympathetic view. Like Trump, they have given little thought to the possibility that what they advocate could lead to the criminal prosecution of millions of young women.
Making a distinction between abortion providers and expectant mothers might be good politics, but it is hardly clear that such a distinction would be tenable in a legal system that recognizes a constitutional right to life for the unborn. Our constitution guarantees equal protection under the law, meaning chiefly that laws cannot be enforced arbitrarily against some groups but not others. What we say is a crime for one must be a crime for all. We could not send one man to prison for assaulting a stranger while refusing to prosecute another because he happens to be the victim's relative. Likewise, we could not imprison a doctor for the crime of abortion yet, out of sympathy, refuse to prosecute the expectant mother who instigated, authorized and participated in the crime. The first argument of the doctor prosecuted under such a system would be that he is being denied his constitutional right to equal protection under the law. If the law protects the mother from prosecution, it must also protect the doctor. If we prosecute the doctor for murder of an unborn child, we must also prosecute his accomplice.
I don't doubt the sincerity of millions of Catholics, Christians, and faithful members of all religions who may dream of the day when a Justice Kavanaugh will cast the deciding vote to overturn Roe. But as we so often learn through needless suffering, the zeal of the faithful can be misplaced. On this point there is an important lesson in the story of Jesus' rebuke of Peter for drawing his sword and cutting off the ear of the servant of the high priest who came to arrest Jesus in the Garden of Gesthemane. It's a lesson I would teach my students if I were still a Catholic and entrusted with their formation. It isn't that Peter's anger wasn't justified or that Christ's life wasn't worth defending, but that the Gospel of Life was meant to be spread by faith, not force. The normalization of abortion as a form of birth control in popular culture bodes ill for the soul of our nation, yet the only lasting victory against what Pope John Paul II rightly lamented as the emerging "culture of death" will not be won on the steps of the Supreme Court. [ii]
Is abortion even in the very early stages of pregnancy the taking of a human life? The answer that in my view remains as obvious as it is tragic, is yes. Is abortion a sin? Our small insights here on earth cannot take us to the mind of God, but what faithful person would dare imagine otherwise? No less a light than Mother Teresa once said, "It is a great poverty that a child must die so that we may live as we wish." Who cannot see the spiritual and moral poverty that has overtaken our culture in the last fifty years, when widely admired figures like Oprah now encourage women to "shout their abortions" as a symbol of personal empowerment? An abortion is an unspeakable tragedy for a mother and her child followed, for many women, by a lifetime of secret anguish and regret. It should be met with mercy and compassion and forgiveness and grieving, not fist-pumping celebration.
Nothing in this essay should be understood to support the current madness in the Democratic Party, which incredibly includes post-birth infanticide, the barbaric practice of "partial birth abortion," and the proposition that there can be no limit whatsoever on a woman's "right to choose." Indeed, Roe v. Wade specifically recognized the right of states to regulate abortion in the second trimester and ban it altogether in the third. Many of our individual rights and privileges, even very important ones, can be lost by inaction. The maxim, vigilantibus et non dormientibus jura subveniunt (the law aids the vigilant, not those who sleep on their rights), is at the bedrock of our jurisprudence. Considering the excruciating choice for all concerned between a child's life and a woman's rights, it is hardly unjust to expect that a woman who fails to choose an abortion within the first trimester should lose that choice.
None of us who believes that God gives us life could imagine that he is indifferent to its taking, even as we hope and pray he is merciful to the taker. But can we remain a secular society that respects the fundamental right of citizens to privacy against governmental interference in their person and that guarantees men and women equal status under the law, yet force unhappily pregnant women to endure nine months of involuntary, reproductive servitude? The answer I find to be equally obvious, is no. Despite the tragedy of children whose mothers fail to safeguard them in the womb, few of us would welcome an America in which the State is given the power and the duty to control every aspect of the daily lives of expectant mothers that might adversely impact the life of an unborn child. Being a free people, we cannot bend the will of every individual toward every greater good.
To my Catholic friends and former students who pray unceasingly for the unborn, I say keep praying—not because these children have been denied the rights of citizenship by our secular government, but because they already are citizens of heaven._______________________________ [i] Prenatal Services, Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration, U.

Potential of clones in improving the financial benifits of essential oil production from melaluca alternifolia plantations
Document Type
Publication details
Prastyono, Doran, JC, Nichols, JD, & Raymond, CA 'Potential clones in improving the financial benifits of essential oil production from Melaluca alternifolia plantations', Agroforestry Systems, vol. 83, no. 2, pp. 257-266.
The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com,
Peer Reviewed
Australian tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) is a woody plant that produces an essential oil with antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and antiinflammatory properties and is widely formulated into many products. Yield and financial analyses were done to compare the viability of replanting 20 ha tea tree plantations using elite clones and improved seedlings over a 15 year time frame were carried out. Four plantation options were modelled: (1) plantations established using genetically improved seedlings (ATTIA 2B) planted at a stocking of 33,333 plants/ha and (2) 16,667 plants/ha, (3) plantations established using the best three selected clones planted at a stocking of 33,333 plants/ha and (4) 16,667 plants/ha. Financial analysis showed that, at an oil price of $45/kg (as at Sep 2008), replacement plantations of either elite clones or improved seedlings are both highly profitable irrespective of the stocking employed. The Net Present Values per hectare at 7% discount rate was $107,824, $63,640, $163,162 and $104,055 for plantation options 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Plantation option 3 was predicted to give the greatest profit at any of the oil prices tested, followed by plantation option 1, 4 and 2. The breakeven prices for tea tree oil production, using the production parameters in this model were $11.81/kg, $15.19/kg, $10.72/kg and $12.96/kg for plantation options 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively.

1. Property management: For 1/2 of a month's rent, we advertise, interview and carefully select a tenant. For a small percent a month, we collect the rent and remit with an accounting to the homeowner monthly. We also take care of the day to day problems.
2. Caretaker Occupied Home: For a home on the market to sell! A selected Caretaker with complimentary furniture will occupy the home, care for and maintain it pays all utilities and homeowner association fees until sold, at no cost to the homeowner. The home is protected and in show condition. The Caretaker pays a modest fee to be a part of this uncommon program, allowing us to provide the service at no cost to the Homeowner. We guarantee the home to be in as good a condition when we vacate as when we first occupied the home. Possession will not be a problem as there is not a tenant/landlord relationship.
3. Modified Caretaker Program: The Homeowner receives monthly compensation. Approximately 20 to 25% of what rent would be. Selected sub-contractors are placed in the home, enhancing it, caring for it, paying utilities, vacating on 30 to 45-day notice, having the home ready to show on a 4-hour notice.

Understand the age-old power of stories, and how to practically harness their potential to persuade in all kinds of modern channels.
Plato said that storytellers rule the world. A lot has changed since his times, but a lot has stayed the same. Once upon a time, when planning a campaign or other communications, our choice for where to put our message was pretty limited. Today the opposite's true, and the range of channels through which we can reach our audiences has exploded. But a quantity of choice, has not been matched by a quality of message — and tried and tested principles are often overlooked. That includes the simplest and most effective technique of all — storytelling.
This session emphasises the effectiveness of storytelling through putting proven approaches into practice and seeing how they can help us better connect with people today — wherever they are.
What we'll cover:
- Understanding how stories work
- How to come up with stories that stick and adapting them for different platforms
- Imagining how your story might look and feel from different audience perspectives
- Economy with words
- Balancing the functional with the emotional
- The power of reframing
How the session will be structured:
We'll work through some principles that underpin all good storytelling, tackle a series of practical exercises with plenty of time for discussion and reflection along the way. You'll be applying new tools and techniques to a piece of live communications that you'll be asked to bring along.
Who the session's for:
Anyone interested in how the power of stories can be harnessed for better communications.

I just launched a healthy living social network called melslife that is targeted to younger people – "echo boomers" -- like me who want to embrace life, enjoy food, and maintain their health as well as get their entertainment online -- think of a cross between facebook, YouTube, and WebMD. We built 17 distinctive video channels -- including a Smashed Channel -- that will evolve over the next year as we continue to brand them. Whoever posts the most content between now and January can win 2 tickets anywhere in the world.
I graduated college a few years ago and know how difficult college living can be, as well as starting out in life – career wise.
Why "echo boomers?" Check out our demos (http://melslife.com/target_audience.php). Most college students want to be informed and motivated by their peers and not necessarily by experts.
Please help me get the word out.
