Please excuse my ignorance if this is a stupid question as i'm a linux newbie. I can successfully boot up and I'm using Konqueror to write this as I type. However I can't seem to mount my FAT32 partition (I also have an NTFS partition but that doesn't matter) on my laptop. There are 12 hda's listed and each one when I try to mount gives me /dev/hda_: Input/output error, mount:I could not determine filesystem type, and none was selected (where "_" is 1 thru 12). I thought Knoppix can automatically detect the partitions. Am I missing a step or does linux not like my partiticular config :( System configuration is Windows XP Pro with a c:NTFS and d:FAT32 partition. I was hopefully at minimum that I can use the Fat32 partition. Please advise. Thanks in advance!
PS upon startup and when I try to mount any of the 12 hda's, there's a physical noise attributed to linux trying to determine the file system I suppose (hard drive almost grinding, hope that's normal)

On March 3, 1879, the U.S. Congress established the U.S. Geological Survey and charged it with the responsibility for the classification of public lands and the examination of the geologic structure, mineral resources and products of the national domain. In 1879, much of this Nation's land area was frontier. Today, the Nation's geographic frontiers primarily lie beneath its surrounding oceans. By Presidential proclamation in 1983, the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone was established. The proclamation claimed the seabed resources in this underwater frontier to 200 nautical miles offshore (fig. 1). This zone, which includes the waters surrounding the continental United States, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories and possessions, constitutes an area about 170 percent larger than the size of the onshore area. Within this vast underwater domain lie resources of immense importance to the Nation: an estimated 35 percent of the economically recoverable oil and gas yet to be found in the United States; strategic metals like cobalt, manganese, and nickel in sea-floor crusts and nodules; massive sulfide deposits actively forming today on ridge crests; and major concentrations of heavy minerals in nearshore sand bodies.
Along with the immense potential for increasing our domestic resource base, exploration of the seabed provides an ex

the marine realm remains the natural laboratory where the fundamental tectonic and volcanic processes responsible for their formation and resource potential may be studied best.
Marine Program
The marine program has three major elements: Regional Geologic Framework, Sedimentary Dynamics, and Marine Energy and Mineral Deposits. Scientific studies in these program elements provide answers to major geologic questions that bear on the fundamental geologic makeup of the Earth and concerns about the future availability of resources.
The Regional Geologic Framework element includes investigations in regional stratigraphy, paleoenvironmental conditions, and structural settings of the continental margins, and marginal sea and deep ocean basins. These investigations focus on processes that influence the formation of petroleum and mineral deposits. Other studies of tectonism, seismicity, magmatism, and volcanism provide information on the settings of marine deposits, the process of ocean-floor spreading, the development of oceanic trenches, the evolution of landmasses or islands, and the geologic hazards that could impede future use of offshore lands. In the context of geologic history and crustal framework, these activities lead to the analysis and interpretation of the evolution of continental margins, spreading centers, and island masses.
The Sedimentary Dynamics element includes studies of active geologic processes that are modifying the sea floor and coastal zone today, with awareness that similar processes acted to form sedimentary deposits throughout geologic time. Topics of concern are the shape and sedimentologic character of major marine sedimentary deposits and the mechanics of how they formed. Sedimentary dynamics research defines the geologic conditions which control large-scale sediment failures (subsea landslides), the erosional processes forming scarps and submarine canyons on the continental margin, the dynamics of transport of sediments and pollutants on the sea floor, and the geologic processes operating in and shaping estuaries and coastal zones. Because many basins on land today formed in
marine environments, there is much transfer of information and insight from marine studies to land studies and vice versa.
As we seek to understand the nature of the zone where the ocean and continental crusts meet and the dynamic processes that are involved, we are becoming increasingly aware of significant processes of erosion on the continental shelf and slope. The first evidence was seen in geophysical profiles that revealed buried ancient continental shelves as much as 113 miles seaward of the present shelf edge. More recently, high-resolution acoustic (sonar) imaging devices have revealed sea-floor features never before seen. Many more canyons on the continental slope have been discovered than were previously suspected, suggesting that submarine erosion is a geologic agent modifying the morphology of the slope at a higher rate than previously considered. Geologists on deep submersible dives east of Florida have observed a near vertical wall of limestone about 2.5 miles high that may have eroded back as much as 9 miles in the past 37 million years. The evidence for erosion on such a scale in the past has significant implications for the preservation of oil and gas trapped within the continental margin and for resource exploration and development in deep water.
Finds of new mineral deposits in the oceans are high on the list of exciting geologic discoveries of the past decade. The Marine Energy and Mineral Deposits element supports investigations of these deposits and the processes that formed them. For several years, geologists had speculated that seawater and rock might react in areas of volcanic heating to form mineral deposits. In 1979, massive sulfide deposits were discovered accumulating around a hydrothermal vent on the crest of the midocean ridge in the Pacific Ocean. The midocean ridge is a world-encircling mountain range, the crest of which is a rift zone and spreading center where new seafloor crust is formed. As the sea floor is pulled apart along the rift zone, molten rock rises to the sea floor. Cold sea water percolates downward along faults or cracks in the sea floor and is heated by and reacts with the hot rock. Then it is convected vigorously to the surface where it discharges in geyser like plumes of hot water (350° C.) laden with sulfides of zinc, copper, and silver, some of which precipitate on the sea floor (figs. 2, 3).
Since the initial discovery, such sulfide deposits have been found at five other locations along the ridge. For the first time, geologists can witness a massivesulfide type of deposit actually being formed on the sea floor. Research into this process provides important insights into exploration techniques for new onshore deposits.
In addition to these rapidly forming sulfide deposits, manganese crusts recovered from seamounts in the Pacific Ocean contain cobalt, the concentration of which varies with water depth. The most favorable water depth range, where the cobalt content exceeds that of commercial deposits onshore, is about 3,280 to 8,530 feet. These deposits lie on the flanks of islands and seamounts, some of which are located within 200 nautical miles of U.S. territory.
The program element for marine energy and minerals is concerned with developing geologic concepts from which settings and conditions of the origin and concentration of marine minerals and hydrocarbons can be defined. The United States is dependent on foreign sources for a large percentage of its petroleum and for several strategic minerals, such as cobalt. This dependence underscores the need to perform research on the distribution and origins of these and other resources in the marine realm.

(R/V) capable of open-ocean surveys are operated by the Survey and are in steady use. The R/V Samuel P. Lee (208 feet) is equipped for deep-penetration seismic reflection profiling and other geophysical surveys. It is ice strengthened and is used for research operations at high latitudes where ice may be a danger. The R/V Polaris II (160 feet) is equipped for highresolution seismic reflection profiling, light geophysical surveys, and sea-floor sampling. In addition, the Survey maintains four smaller vessels for nearshore marine surveys. Each year, other vessels from oceanographic institutions and industry are used as needed to accomplish the Geological Survey mission to acquire knowledge about the Nation's underwater domain.
In 1982, the R/V Samuel P. Lee conducted research in waters off Alaska to add information on the geologic framework and potential for petroleum resources of large sedimentary basins on the continental shelf and to obtain new data on the plate tectonic setting of the Aleutian Island chain. Other important cruises added to our understanding of the Atlantic continental margin, especially concerning the basic framework and processes of sedimentation and erosion but also concerning mineral resources of the large underwater Blake Plateau off the coast of the Carolinas. Also in 1982, the R/V Samuel P. Lee con
ducted geophysical surveys, sponsored by the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Nations, around the Pacific island areas of Tonga, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands. During a cooperative investigation in the central Pacific, Geological Survey and German Government scientists recognized the potential for cobalt resources in manganese crusts on the sea floor.
In August 1983, the longest, most elaborate marine survey ever planned by the Geological Survey began. The R/V Samuel P. Lee left San Francisco on a scheduled 40,000-mile cruise from pole to pole. Planned activities included sea-floor photography of sulfide deposits on Juan de Fuca Ridge, seismic surveys in the Chukchi Sea north of the Bering Straits in the Arctic, sampling in the central and southern Pacific for cobalt-manganese crusts, seismic surveys in the south Pacific, and framework/resource surveys in the Ross Sea-Wilkes Land continental shelf area off Antarctica. In addition, a joint Survey-Geological Survey of Canada expedition used a Canadian-developed seafloor mounted drill to obtain samples from sulfide deposits on Juan de Fuca Ridge. As 1983 ended, prospects appeared bright for a proposed expansion of the marine program to cover the vast new national frontier of the Exclusive Economic Zone.

On one side, we see the MATTS J+ as real off-road bikes, where our youngest cyclists can have real fun in the woods and on trails. On the other hand, due to the fact, that a carrier, fenders and a kickstand can be mounted, it's also a stylish bike for everyday use. In the end, it's just made for kids to have fun with and not only riding a standard kids bike that looks old fashioned and boring.
Optimised weight
Weight is an important issue when it comes to modern kids bikes. There must be a good balance between the weight of the rider and the weight of the bike, which is even more important for small kids than for adults. To achieve a lower weight, we decreased the tube diameter and mostly used round shaped tubes. That way, some weight, but also cost compared to voluminous hydroforming tubes, could be saved. More effective in the weight reduction was the use of lightweight kids' specific components, like the MERIDA JR handlebar and saddle as well as the one-by drivetrain. Here, compared to a normal two or three-by drivetrain, a lot of weight could be saved. In addition to that, we reduced the number of spokes, use lightweight tyres and tubes to shave off the last few grams.
Plus size tyres
Besides the great and modern look, the 2.4″ tyres provide impressive comfort, while at the same time offering better puncture protection than smaller tyres. Small bumps are easily absorbed which increases the feeling of safety. And with the good tyre carcass structure, it offers good rolling resistance while being lightweight and durable. Plus size tyres at this price level, replace the heavy, expensive and mostly not well-working suspension parts.
Kids' specific components
The specific demands on childrens' components make them differ a lot from adult components. Not only that kids are smaller, but also do not have the same strength in their hands for example when it comes to braking. That's why we have chosen certain components to ensure that our youngest cyclists are able to use their bikes in a good, comfortable way and make them easy to handle in any situation.
Rigid fork
In this bike category, well working and lightweight suspension forks are very expensive, while entry-level suspension forks are extremely heavy and offer poor performance. That's why we have decided to use a rigid fork in combination with 2.4″ tyres to provide the needed comfort. Furthermore, this guarantees longevity and reduces the need for maintenance.
MERIDA MATTS JR handlebar
The MERIDA MATTS JR handlebars were designed with the specific demands of children in mind. These handlebars are lightweight and optimised in shape and width to ensure optimal handling and comfortable riding in any riding condition.
MERIDA MATTS JR Saddle
MERIDA MATTS JR COMP and EXPERT saddles are lightweight and customised to meet the demands of our youngest cyclists. Most children saddles are just adult saddles shrunk down in size. But it's not only the size that matters but also the padding and foam density. Children are much lighter than adults, so the foam has to be different in density to provide the needed comfort. Besides that, the weight of the saddle plays an important role in the overall weight of the bicycle.
MERIDA MATTS JR crank
All MERIDA kids bikes come with a one-by drivetrain, making the whole shifting process much easier to understand and to handle. The chain wheel is covered from both sides by plastic chain wheel guards. These guards do not only protect the riders from getting hurt or dirty but also have the function of preventing the chain from dropping off the chain wheel while riding off-road. These plastic guards have the advantage, that they are lightweight and cost-effective in comparison to alloy guards, which also might get sharp and dangerous edges after hitting obstacles. For that reason, they are also much safer.
Tektro disc brakes
Besides the smaller size of the hands, the power kids have in their hands for braking is much less than for adults. That's why we use Tektro kids specific hydraulic disc brakes at our kids bikes. These disc brakes have kids' specific brake levers, made for smaller hands and the reach of the lever is adjustable. Another benefit of hydraulic disc brakes is, that there is almost no friction compared to mechanical disc brakes and the lever ratio guarantees, that the brake power can be well modulated. The disc brake rotors come with rounded edges to prevent any injuries.
6061 aluminium
All kids' bike frames are made with the same 6061 lightweight aluminium we use in our adult bikes, we don't cut any corners. They're also painted and lacquered in the same way, so the bikes can still look great even after a few tough knocks.

Snapchat's shares have dropped almost 5% today, after Rihanna called the social media company out on Instagram for referencing the violence episode that happened between the singer and then boyfriend Chris Brown in 2009.
The ad which asked users to choose between slapping Rihanna or hitting Chris Brown has been criticised by many, but most notably by the Singer at the heart of the ad herself.
Rihanna, in her Instagram story to her over 60m followers said: "Now Snapchat I know you already know you ain't my favourite app out there! But I'm juts trying to figure out what the point was with this mess! I'd love to call it ignorance, but I know you ain't that dumb!"
"You spent money to animate something that would intentionally bring shame to Domestic Violence victims and made a joke of it. This isn;'t about my personal feelings, cause I dont have much of them, but all the women, children and men that have been victims in the past and especially the ones who haven't made iot out yet, you let us down! Shame on you. Throw the whole app-oligy away."
Following the statement, the company's shares dropped 5%.
This isnt the first time the company's shares would drop based on recommendations from a celebrity,. In February, the company's share dropped after Kylie Jenner gave a negative review about the company rolled out new feature for the app.

Freedom's waiting. Freedom? Freedom from what? Freedom from being a slave to our human mind and a slave to our things, to material possessions including our own body. How's that? A slave to our mind and a slave to our things? Yes, being beholden to mind-based beliefs which we act upon and being beholden to material objects that possess us and cause us to suffer because they cause us to behave as if THEY own US and therefore cause us to be a slave to them and not truly free to be who we are and that is a being that has dominion over its mind and material possessions.
The good news is that our freedom is waiting for us! Yes, it is. How is it waiting for us? Our freedom from being a slave to our beliefs and possessions is waiting for us in that we hold the key to changing our attitude of being a slave to, a victim of any misguided beliefs, a job we hate, our money, our body, our keeping up with the Joneses, our lack consciousnessness, our self-loathing, and our low energy human nature. We have the ability to change and get out of our prison cell and be free.
This ability to change our attitude and not be beholden to our limiting beliefs and material possessions is what I mean by "freedom's waiting." We hold the key within ourselves to unlock the prison cell we voluntarily keep ourselves in. When we finally see that we don't have to allow our beliefs to be so fixed and we don't have to amass material objects for happiness, this is the moment when the imaginary jailer disappears and we become the sovereign beings we were meant to be all along. Freedom is being aware of and then acknowledging that we are not our minds and we don't identify with a material object as "us."

An Albany man who purchased Lock 12 Marina and Finch and Chubb restaurant at auction last week says both businesses will reopen later this spring.
"We intend to reopen the restaurant as quickly as we can," said Bill Brina, who secured the property for $100,000 last Tuesday.
He says he expects to close the sale on April 27 and the marina will open almost immediately thereafter.
"The marina will be operational right after the closing; like the next day," Brina said. "The restaurant and inn will open quickly thereafter."
Ray and Linda Faville closed Lock 12 Marina and Finch and Chubb last fall after 26 years in business and turned the property over to Home Loan Investment Bank as part of a bankruptcy plan.
Brina said the price for which he obtained the property will allow him to invest in the property and make some renovations and improvements.
He said there are likely some "code issues" that will need to be dealt with and some things he and business partner "Bumper" Wagner feel they must do as the new owners, such as modernizing the electric system, before the restaurant can reopen. They also need to obtain a liquor license, a process they have begun already.
"We're going to do the work quickly," said Brina, a retired government capital finance planner and independent public policy professional.
Brina has not yet decided whether to retain the Finch and Chubb name, nor has he made a decision on the theme of the restaurant and style of cuisine which will be offered.
"The restaurant had a real identity and a real following," said Brina, who ran into a friend last week in Albany who said Finch and Chubb was one of their favorite places to dine. "We have to explore whether to keep the same atmosphere or change it. It will be a similar restaurant in value and distinctiveness."
"It will be upscale, but affordable," Brina said.
He said a number of people have called him in the last week to pitch their ideas.
"We don't want to be replicative of any restaurants in town," he said.
Brina hopes to work cooperatively with other restaurateurs in town and mentioned the possibility of starting a Whitehall restaurant commission. He said they planned on working with the Whitehall Chamber of Commerce.
Although the property will be Brina's first in Whitehall, it may not be his last.
He said he and Wagner identified three communities they believe have potential for upside and Whitehall is among them. Their plan is to purchase distressed properties and establish viable businesses.
"This is our first investment in Whitehall, but is by no means our last," Brina said. "We think the community is ripe for economic renewal and revitalization."
He declined to reveal other opportunities he may pursue in the community, but said they had a plan that would be revealed in the coming months.
"We think that tourism with Canada is on an upswing and that this is the beginning of a cycle of positive thing happening in Whitehall," Brina said. "We're looking forward to a bright future."

Part 5 Communion and the Last Supper:
The Cup of Deliverance:When the Israelites were in slavery in Egypt, Moses kept going to see Pharaoh and said: "God says: 'Let my people go!'"
But ten times God had to send plagues upon Egypt to get Pharaoh to agree.
In the Seder Passover Meal everyone lifts up the second cup of wine – the Cup of Deliverance and holds it over their plate.
Then everyone dips their finger into the cup and drops a little wine onto their plate and this is repeated ten times to represent the ten plagues that God sent.
The head of the house then says a prayer like: "Blessed are you O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us with your commandments and has commanded us to eat the unleavened bread"
They then take a sip from this cup.
The whole point of this Cup of Deliverance is that the Israelites were powerless and helpless.
But God stepped in and delivered them.
Isn't that the same for us – we can't save ourselves.
We are powerless and helpless – only God can give salvation, He will do it – God can free us!
Salvation is His work and we surrender to Him.
Jesus would have known that this Passover meal pointed to his own sacrifice.
Jesus' death and resurrection is God's plan to deliver us.
Are there any clues that Jesus used more than one cup at the last supper?
In Luke 22 it says:
"After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you." [2]
That was BEFORE breaking the bread. Then:
"he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." [3]
Then He picks up the cup after the bread:
"In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you." [4]
So yes, there is a clue that Jesus used more than one cup, so He could have been using the symbolism of the different cups as in the Seder Meal.

Even after this year's selling, there is a lot of gold in ETFs that could be liquidated.
[This article originally appeared on HardAssetsInvestor.com and is republished here with permisison.]
Gold ETF Holdings
One of the themes within the story of this year's gold plunge is the endless selling by ETFs. Investors in physical gold-backed exchange-traded funds have liquidated close to 19 million troy ounces (590 metric tons) of their holdings since the start of the year.
The liquidation has been steady, relentless and remains ongoing.
The impact that ETF selling has had on the gold market cannot be overstated (see Dennis Gartman: Technicals Say Gold Could Hit $900). In 2012, such funds purchased 9 million troy ounces worth of gold. Thus, this year's sales of 19 million ounces make for a swing of 28 million ounces, or 870 metric tons—a significant amount in a gold market that saw 4,360 tons of total demand in all of last year.
Currently, even after the recent selling, gold exchange-traded funds still hold more than 65 million ounces, according to Bloomberg. That's a lot of gold that could potentially be liquidated. Indeed, as recently as 2008, holdings were a mere 30 million ounces, or less than half of current levels.
If another 10 million, 20 million or even 30 million ounces were sold in short order, there's no telling how low prices could go.

Repower LA is a citywide coalition of community groups, environmentalists, and small businesses anchored by LAANE, SCOPE, and IBEW Local 18 that advocates for equitable environmental programs and career-path jobs at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP), the nation's largest municipally-owned utility.
Repower LA formed in 2011 in response to high unemployment in many of LA's neighborhoods and our city's unsustainable reliance on dirty energy. Our goal is to help make clean energy and good jobs at DWP accessible to all Angelenos while helping them lower their bills.
A cornerstone of RePower LA's work is our support for the Utility Pre-Craft Trainee (UPCT) program, which was developed by IBEW Local 18, in partnership with DWP. The pre-apprenticeship program has partnered with our coalition to recruit women and communities of color, including the re-entry population. Participants learn various electrical and water utility skills while earning $16/hour with benefits, and get on the path to a career at the DWP.
Our coalition also works to increase investment in clean energy and energy efficiency programs to help the DWP become greener. As part of our vision of progressive systemic change at the DWP, RePower LA successfully pushed for the DWP to institute the new Equity Metrics Data Initiative (EMDI). The EMDI tracks and shares semi-annual data on how well the DWP is serving customers across programs, jobs, and services in low-income communities.
In expanding sustainability and good jobs, our coalition campaigned for the new Community Solar pilot approved by the DWP Board in November 2016. The Solar Rooftops pilot program will utilize UPCTs to install solar panels on customers' properties across Los Angeles. This will diversify DWP's renewable energy sources, benefiting customers who will receive fixed payments in exchange for leasing their roofs, while creating more sustainable jobs.

text: Home & Garden Home No, Italy's Coffee Culture Does Not Need to Modernize By Katherine Martinko Senior Writer University of Toronto Katherine Martinko is a writer and expert in sustainable living. She holds a degree in English Literature and History from the University of Toronto. our editorial process Twitter Twitter Katherine Martinko Updated January 04, 2019 Share Twitter Pinterest Email Home Sustainable Eating Pest Control Natural Cleaning DIY Family Green Living Thrift & Minimalism The Washington Post has proposed the worst idea I've heard in a while. One of the few things in the world that I do not wish I could magically fix is Italian coffee culture. In fact, I have in the past held it up as a model for the rest of the world, a coffee culture that we would do well to emulate. The prices are affordable, the calorie count is lower, the focus is on efficient caffeination with a healthy dose of community, and – perhaps most importantly – there is no hideous trail of trash. So you can imagine my surprise when a Washington Post article popped up on my computer this morning, suggesting that Italian coffee culture is in desperate need of an overhaul – and that it should take this lesson from the United States! Scratching my head, I tried to make sense of author Chico Harlan's argument. Italian coffee is terrible, he says. The prices (1 Euro for an espresso) and the brewing methods are frozen in the 1980s. There's no appreciation for specialty bean blends. The espresso is bitter and strong."Italian coffee tends to rely on blends that include the cheaper Robusta beans, noted for their bitterness and lack of acidity, and common in instant coffee. Kenneth David, the Berkeley, Calif.-based editor in chief of the Coffee Review consumer report, said a few big Italian roasters use 'pretty close to the worst [beans] in the world,' but Italian baristas have the machines and craftsmanship to make the most of what they have." Nor are there places for laptop workers to sit or takeaway cups for people wanting to slurp on enormous, watered-down drinks while walking. (This is bad thing?) Hence the article's celebration of new artisanal coffee shops that are slowly making inroads, Harlan claims, into Italian cities. These shops offer fancy cortados and pour-overs that are 3-4x more expensive than a regular espresso shot and come with an erudite lecture on bean origin, a strategy that one barista said "was necessary to justify the higher prices." (I guess the taste doesn't sell itself to people who already know what they like?) These ambitious storeowners hope that Italians will wake up to the fact that much better coffee exists and they should pay through the nose for it, like Americans do. While there's nothing wrong with seeking to improve oneself and one's tastes, this strikes me as a particularly misguided mission. If Italian coffee is enjoyed widely by an entire nation, then who's to say it's bad? Is taste not subjective? And if convincing 60 million people that they have terrible taste means creating a consumer culture that never existed before – particularly one that's linked to rampant waste of single-use coffee cups – well, this is the root of many of the environmental problems that our planet currently faces. I have no patience for this. One of the many things I love about Italy is that I can always count on a consistently decent cup of coffee, strong and bitter though it may be, in any highway truck stop, dive bar, or tiny restaurant. There's none of the watery swill that passes for coffee in the majority of places in the U.S. and Canada. I prefer to judge a country on the quality of its average, everyday, most accessible cup of coffee, not the stuff of snooty artisanal coffee bars. Next thing you know, as one similarly irritated commenter wrote on the Post article, there's going to be "another article trying to make sense of why an outstanding pizza margherita in Naples can cost only 5 EUR, with arguments like excessively red tomatoes or pale mozzarella." Basta! If it's not broke, don't fix it.

Scripture: James 1:22, Matthew 5:38-39, Isaiah 26:9
Could it be as simple as being a doer of the Word and not a hearer only? Possibly it could. What happened in the last forty years that imperiled the nation and rendered the church passive and powerless. The answer to that is in Matthew 5:38-39. This passage says, "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.'" The biggest mistake that was made in the last leadership generation was that this principle of turning-the-other-cheek was applied as the full definition of the love of God. It was used out of context and inaccurately in order to turn the church into ineffective and powerless saints who consistently enable evil rather than restrain it. This has in effect immobilized the church and left it incapable of impacting society and culture. The reason that there is so much unsanctified mercy and that the church is so much nicer than God is because of the imbalanced, skewed teaching of Matthew 5:38-39. When this passage becomes the full definition of God's love then the church becomes passive and impotent. Two great men of God outlined a potentially powerful Seven Mountain strategy but satan hijacked the implementation with a toothless people! The question is will the church recognize that unsanctified mercy is not God's true mercy and does not lead others toward salvation and light. Isaiah 26:9 says, "With my soul I have desired You in the night. Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." Once church leaders and saints alike balance out Scripture, the warriors will arise! Will we be doers of the Word and not hearers only? Jesus did not turn the other cheek to the moneychangers!

Passing Third Party Affiliate IDs To ClickBetter
Posted by John D on 07 September 2017 01:51 PM
In order to track third party affiliate sales, ClickBetter allows you to send that affiliate ID to your ClickBetter processing URL.
So if your product ID is 12345 and third party affiliate ID is abcd then you can use the below ClickBetter processing URL:
where affid is the parameter which will hold the value of your third party affiliate ID.
If you wish to pass affiliate IDs from multiple traffic sources, you can do so by simply sending that traffic affiliate ID, that is, you need to detect the kind of traffic you have on your sales page and append the affid accordingly to your ClickBetter processing URL.
For example, if you have 3 traffic sources namely social media, media buys and affiliat traffic then add a simple parameter to your landing page for each traffic type, that is ttype and set that as social, media and affiliate accordingly and then using that ttype assign the affid accordingly.
So if my landing page is this: www.salesurl.com then for:
1. Social traffic, it should be: www.salesurl.com/?ttype=social
2. Media buy traffic, it should be: www.salesurl.com/?ttype=media
3. Affiliate traffic, it should be: www.salesurl.com/?ttype=affiliate
and in your ClickBetter processing URL, you simply add the required ID accordingly.
So if my landing page is in PHP (your programmer can do this for any language), I will simply check the ttype and add the affid accordingly.
1. Social traffic, the processing URL can be this: <?php if($_GET[ttype]=="social") { ?> Click Here To Pay <?php } ?>
2. Media buy traffic, the processing URL can be this: <?php if($_GET[ttype]=="media") { ?> Click Here To Pay <?php } ?>
3. Affiliate traffic, the processing URL can be this: <?php if($_GET[ttype]=="affiliate") { ?> Click Here To Pay <?php } ?>
If you have any questions regards to the above, please contact your VIP account manager.

The digital discoveries seminar promises to be one of the best digital seminars to take place in Nigeria this year.
Technology is the bedrock of civilization. With the rising rate of unemployment in the country and lack of a solid plan by the government to ameliorate the situation, the onus lies on the youthful populace of the country to leverage on the advent of technology to create employment and place themselves at an advantage with their counterparts in other parts of the world.
The digital discoveries conference is a place whereby youths will be able to discover the power and opportunities hidden in the digital world. A couple of experienced digital strategist will be at the Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo town, Oyo state on the 19th of May, 2018. The theme for the conference is "Introduction to digital media technologies and how it affects you."
The hosts for the program are:
- Adewale Isreal Ojomo
- Adewale David
- Gbemisola Ogunlade Olamide
- Afouda Samuel
- Akinyemi Cynthia Anuoluwapo
The program promises to be an eye-opener to the hidden opportunities embedded in the use of technology. This is not a motivational seminar where you are psyched up for nothing; this seminar is a baptism of impaction.
Come and get soaked!

Nearly all Britons don't know where pasta came from, according to a new survey.
Glorious! Foods polled over 1,000 people, 70% of whom believed they were well informed on where different types of food originated.
However, when actually quizzed, most participants answered incorrectly on many common dishes, with 95.1% not knowing that pasta first came from China.
Over 75% thought that chilli con carne was first eaten in Mexico, when the answer is USA. Only 6.3% of those surveyed knew that vindaloo actually came from Portugal.
Senior national account manager at Glorious! Foods Afruj Miah said: "The results of this survey show that we're certainly not as knowledgeable as we think we are when it comes to foods from other cultures, and that we're often eating foods with far-flung influences when we think we're eating Great British pub grub."
The top 10 foods answered incorrectly in the survey were as follows (correct answer in brackets).
1. Worcestershire Sauce (Bengal) - 96.3% incorrect
2. Pasta (China) - 95.1% incorrect
3. Lasagne (Greece) - 94.5% incorrect
4. Vindaloo (Portugal) - 93.7% incorrect
5. Chilli Con Carne (USA) - 92.9% incorrect
6. Garlic Bread (Asia and USA) - 92.6% incorrect
7. Noodle Chop Suey (USA) - 90% incorrect
8. Cheesecake (Ancient Greece) - 89.9% incorrect
9. French Fries (Belgium) - 89.3% incorrect
10. Fajita (Texas, USA) - 88.9% incorrect

Russia says it is willing to see Syria's President Bashar al-Assad leave power – but not by force.
In a significant change from its prior position, Moscow appears to have come to the realization that Assad's regime is teetering, and is not likely to last much longer.
A senior Russian diplomat was quoted by the pan-Arab Al Arabiya news network as saying Russia is prepared to see Assad leave power as part of a political settlement.
The statement, however, comes in contradiction to a joint statement made with China the next day, on Wednesday, in which the two nations said they strongly oppose intervention and regime change in Damascus.
"Russia and China are decisively against attempts to regulate the Syrian crisis with outside military intervention, as well as imposing a policy of regime change, including within the Security Council," the statement said.
Developments in Syria "are significant for peace and stability in the Middle East and the entire world, and should be regulated through political dialogue among all participants of the conflict," the statement said.
At a news conference in Beijing, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told journalists that comply with the opposition calls for the forcible removal of the Assad regime would lead to "catastrophe" in Syria.
Lavrov underscored Russia's firm support for the six-point peace plan advanced by United Nations and Arab League envoy Kofi Annan. He called for a new international meeting to strategize on ways to deal with the Syrian conflict, to include Turkey and Iran.

Appeal on Glanbia plant
The decision to grant planning permission to Glanbia for a dairy processing and manufacturing facility at Belview Port has been appealed to An Bord Pleanála, writes Tess Felder.
Permission for the plans, which include an administration and laboratory building, production building, natural gas metering compound and security, were approved by Kilkenny County Council for the site in the IDA Science and Technical Park at Gorteens, Belview.
An appeal of the decision has now been lodged, however, with appellants named as Chris and Claire Ogilvie White, Josephine Cantwell and the Bellevue Residents Association.
The new facility is being planned to meet the increased demand that is expected to come with the abolition of milk quotas in 2015.
It is intended to be two-thirds the size of Glanbia Ballyragget, which is the largest integrated dairy processing facility in Europe.
A decision on the appeal is expected to be given by January 23, 2013, according to An Bord Pleanála.

I feel especially privileged today to host the award-winning science fiction author, Massimo Marino. After reading DAIMONES, the first volume of his trilogy, I knew I wanted to share this author with you. Not only is his story's premise original, but his writing is subtly compelling. He manages to draw the reader in with intrigue, rather than the violence and fast-paced action so characteristic of the genre. And while it is not unheard of for a scientist to write science fiction, Massimo manages to interweave paranormal and mythological events into his tale. I asked Mr. Marino to begin by telling us about himself.
I'm Italian, and because even in Italy that means everything and nothing at all, I should say I am Sicilian. I was born in Palermo, and as it happened with countless Sicilians, I left it, back in 1986. I lived more years abroad than in my home country, and I have changed in many and different ways than my old friends there. It is always a pleasure to go back, but it is now 6 long years since my last visit. Saudade? Maybe, a little.
I lived in Switzerland, France, and the United States. I am a scientist as a background, and have spent over 17 years in fundamental research. Most of my writing are then academic stuff, and I always wonder at how much Google is able to find about everyone. I am sure one has to Google oneself so not to forget too much…
I worked for many years at CERN—an international lab for particle physics research near Geneva, Switzerland—then in the US at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Fantastic moments and memories from those years. In 2005 I moved to the private sector, worked with Apple Inc., and then for the World Economic Forum.
I wrote since I was a kid, short stories and novellas, but never had anyone read it. It was a personal thing. Then, work and life took their toll and I stopped. Slightly over a year ago, for various reasons, I started again with some burning inside that needed to come out. On the first weekend I got over 15000 words, then subscribed to critters.org for peer review, lurked a year keeping on writing and getting feedback.
On September 2012 my debut novel, DAIMONES, saw the light. It received the 2012 PRG Reviewer's Choice Award in Science Fiction. Last February it was awarded with the Hall of Fame – Best Science Fiction by Quality Reads UK, and received over 64% of the 1600+ readers votes. To the day, DAIMONES has sold over 4,000 copies. Both novels are available as digital and printed editions.
The sequel, ONCE HUMANS, was published last July and has sold more than 1,000 copies since. I'm writing Vol.3, THE RISE OF THE PHOENIX. Its Prelude (chapters 1-4) has been published last November and readers can have a taste of what's coming in the trilogy.
The novels have been optioned by an Independent Audiobook Publisher in the US, Sci-Fi Publishing LCC, and both DAIMONES and ONCE HUMANS are now available as audiobook, too. (From audible.com, Amazon and iTunes).
What you have told us about DAIMONES' debut is tantalizing. Would you please detail a bit more about your path to publication?
I started as many others with query letters to agents and publishers. A good number asked for reading a few chapters. I only had two kind of replies: total silence, or personal words of appreciation for the story, my background, my voice, the "lyric of the prose", and encouragements with the caveat that the market is looking unfortunately for something else. After a while, because the market is made of readers, I decided to verify myself if the market was looking for something else. Thus, I became the publisher of my work. I have a team supporting me, beta-readers, proofreading services, a copy editor, and a graphic professional for the covers. I've sold over 6000 copies of my books and critiques and readers appreciation are close to 90%.
I believe it would be the same even after 6 million copies, the sample I have is convincing enough.
I received two offers — since I published — from small publishing companies but the current standard of contracts is laughable. I said thanks but no thanks in both cases.
As I intimated at the outset of our discussion, your premise is unusual. What is the story behind the story?
The animal deaths around the world. Those intrigued me, they still happen, unexplained, targeting one single race at the time and leaving all others undisturbed. Don't look like natural events and yet I'm not aware of any serious scientific investigation on what's happening there. Who knows, maybe the Daimones trilogy is nothing but a premonition?
One would suspect that a scientist would write about, shall we say, down to earth matters. What made you choose science fiction?
I grew up with brother and dad buried under sci-fi novels. Dad received Astounding Stories magazine and I wasn't allowed to read those but I looked at the pictures and fantasized. Later on, I started reading sci-fi, too.
In your own words, why is your writing different from other sci-fi authors?
Sci-fi is considered by many a minor, less valuable genre, not good for good, discerning readers, full of crazy ideas with little ground on reality, shoddy characterization and the equivalent of a B-series, low budget Hollywood movie. I think sci-fi can be of the highest literature, allowing the author to stress the boundaries of the society and the universe where the characters interact to explore any and every major high literature themes. I look after Literary Science Fiction.
I agree. Will you tell us what you are working on now?
I'm working on the launch of Vol. 3 of the trilogy: THE RISE OF THE PHOENIX. At the times of posting this interview it might be already available as ebook and paperback from major retailers and the audiobook being produced.
When you're not marketing your work, what is your writing day like?
When I write a new book, I write every day. I aim at 2500 words. Good or bad doesn't matter. Inspiration has to find me while I write, not while I'm attending other stuff.
Are there any awards you've received you haven't mentioned above?
The novels have received the PRG Reviewer's Choice Award in Science Fiction and Best Science Fiction Series. They have been awarded the Awesome Indies Gold Seal of Approval and the Seal of Excellency in Writing by the IndiePENdents.org association. But the greatest honor is when the stories touch the heart and soul of readers and prompt them to share their feelings with a 4 and a 5 star review.
I'll be more direct. Aside from these, why should someone buy your books?
To spend good time reading immersive novels, to be provoked and questions beliefs and certainties, to daydream together.
Excellent answer! Let's leave writing behind. I know you live in wonderful places in Europe—France, Switzerland and Italy. Many would consider these ideal. What is your dream location?
In a villa overlooking the Ocean in Big Sur, California.
Not a bad choice at all. In view of your marvelous career to date, what would be your dream job?
Being able to earn enough royalties from my books every month to pay for all I and family need. And writing new novels for new readers – sharing the visions and gifting them with pleasant reading times, moments of evasion and fulfillment.
Would you care to share something about your home life?
I have two furry, rascal cats who are the reasons for my pauses during a writing day, otherwise I'd forget about lunch, physiological rests, and any other task requiring my attention at any moment. When I write, I'm no more there. My cats arrive, place their paws on my hands or walk over the keyboard and stare at me. They give me the look: "Time to take a break."
Even though your life may seem ideal to many of those visiting today, no one's is perfect. So I have to ask, how do you pick yourself up in the face of adversity?
Panting and huffing, and with the support of my family.
Do you have a favorite quote?
"'Tis the good reader that makes the good book; in every book he finds passages which seem to be confidences or sides hidden from all else and unmistakably meant for his ear; the profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profound thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thank you. That's a new one for me. Before we bring this interview to a close, I have a few Lightening Round questions.
The one thing I cannot do without is:
My tool for writing and doing research: my Mac Book Air
In one or two words, what is your defining trait?
Compulsive, passionate
Hard copy or ebook?
Both. There are moments for both.
Vice? Virtue?
It's no virtue to have no vice.
Favorite book:
The one I'm reading at the moment.
Do you have a parting thought you would like to leave us with?
A note to readers: Sales are great, press releases, interviews, live radio guest appearances are exciting, climbing the ranks and entering the Top 100 Authors for my genre is exhilarating, but nothing beats the support of all readers and friends and fellow writers who share the thrill with me. You're the best readers any writer could ever have. Without you giving my stories a chance, nothing would ever be possible.

U.S. Treasury debt prices tumbled on Thursday as stocks rose on optimism surrounding a mortgage rescue plan and investors worried jobs data might deter more aggressive interest rate-cutting by the Federal Reserve.
Wall Street was still looking for another quarter point rate cut next Tuesday, but a robust reading on U.S. nonfarm payrolls in a government report due on Friday would dampen the outlook for a more aggressive half-point move.
A drop in jobless benefit claims, which came a day after a surprisingly rosy reading of private-sector employment, highlighted that prospect.
"The bond market is prepared for a stronger payroll figure than was expected," said Tony Crescenzi, chief bond market strategist at Miller, Tabak.
A firmer stock market, in which financial shares benefited from the prospect of a White House plan to aid mortgage borrowers, also lured traders out of their Treasurys safe haven.
"We're seeing pressure in bonds from the changing attitudes in financial stocks," said Andrew Brenner, a market analyst at MF Global.
Benchmark 10-year notes dropped 15/32 and offered a yield of 4.01 percent, up 5 basis points.
Two-year note yields jumped a full 10 basis points to 2.93 percent.
Data showing U.S home foreclosures rising to record highs in the third quarter were largely dismissed as old news.
Jobless claims retreated but remained at the higher end of the recent range, painting a mixed picture of the labor market.
All the attention will now turn to Friday's jobs report.
Economists are looking for a gain of around 90,000 for November, following October's 166,000 rise, according to a Reuters poll.
Complicating the bond market's likely course of action following the figures is its almost symbiotic inverse link to equities in the current risk-averse environment. If the Fed sends enough signals about its willingness to continue easing policy and stocks rally, the bond market might just extend this week's selloff.

Traveling around the world with nobody…
These lyrics still make me laugh if you are not familiar with this lines they are from the Beastie Boys song Paul Revere. I must have been in 8th grade or something when this came out. Me and my friends would walk the halls singing this song back and forth and just crack up.
You know it is a funny thing, the Beastie Boys story goes something like this. They started out as a Punk Rock band and after loosing two of the original 4 members and replacing them with Adam Horovitz (Ad Rock). Because of blowing up in the underground dance scene with Cookie Puss based on a recorded prank phone call to Carvel and the increasing larger hip hop scene, they decided to do a hip hop song You Gotta Fight For Your Right to Party as a joke. Next thing you know this thing went through the roof and the Beasties became a hip hop band because people thought they were serious. It is crazy how your audience and a joke can define your brand.
I have followed the Beasties from the early days and have been impressed at their level of innovation. They were able to make a strong brand by working change and innovation into the mix. You never knew what you were going to get on the next album. The only consistent thing was quality music no matter what influenced them at the time.
So I write this article to not only share interesting concepts on how to manage a brand, but also to share todays news…
Sadly today Adam Yauch (MCA) of the Beastie Boys has passed away after fighting a long bout with cancer. In July of 2009 the Beastie Boys released this video where they announced MCAs cancer. Sadly this morning the fight finally ended.
Adam, you will be greatly missed! RIP!

GENOA, ITALY (CBSMiami) – The Costa Concordia, the cruise ship that wrecked off Giglio Island, Italy in January 2012, has been safely moored at the Port of Genoa Voltri, Italy.
Crowley Maritime Corporation, subsidiary TITAN Salvage and project partner Micoperi confirmed the move, marking the completion of the largest maritime salvage jobs in history.
It took more than a dozen support vessels, including two tugboats with a combined 24,000 horsepower and 274 tons of bollard pull at the bow for the hull and two additional auxiliary tugs positioned aft, to tow the disabled ship from the Tuscan Archipelago to the Mediterranean seaport of Genoa.
"Our team's goal was to accomplish the project with safety, ingenuity and detail," said Chris Peterson, TITAN Salvage vice president. "We truly believe that we have done just that. Over the past two years, every aspect of this project was handled with the utmost professionalism and an inordinate amount of calculation and planning."
The 114,000-ton Costa Concordia will soon be dismantled and stripped down for scrap metal and recyclable materials.

* Your assessment is very important for improving the work of artificial intelligence, which forms the content of this project
August 28, 2013 Common Core Lesson 1-1 Rational Numbers and Decimals August 28, 2013 Focus: How can you convert a rational number to a decimal? August 28, 2013 To be successful in this section, you must be able to: Divide (by hand) multi-digit numbers. This means long division!! August 28, 2013 Vocabulary Rational Number: a number that can be written as a ratio (fraction) of two integers. Example: 5/8 is rational .89 is rational because it is 89/100 August 28, 2013 Use a calculator to find the equivalent decimal form of each fraction. Remember that repeating numbers like .333333 can be written as .3. Then find the equivalent fraction for the last two. Fraction Decimal Equivalent 3/4 5/8 1/3 2/9 11/8 0.8 0.125 What do you notice about the digits after the decimal point in the decimal forms of fractions? Compare notes with your neighbor and refine your conjecture if necessary. August 28, 2013 Reflect: 1) consider the decimal 0.202002000200002000002... Do you think this decimal represents a rational number? 2) Do you think a negative sign affects whether or not a number is a rational number? Use - as -4/5 as an example. 3) Do you think a mixed number is a rational number? Explain. August 28, 2013 Long Division Time!!!! 1) 5/16 2) 1/11 Question...Do you think that decimals that have repeating patterns always have the same number of digits in their pattern? Explain. August 28, 2013 Writing Mixed Numbers as Decimals Mrs. Kirchner bought 3 1/8 yards of material to make an outfit for her husband. Write 3 1/8 as a decimal. Step 1: turn to improper fraction Step 2: Divide numerator by denominator August 28, 2013 Keep Trying... Ms. Crane made 4 1/5 quarts of kool aid. Write 4 1/5 as a decimal. Mrs. Phillips bought a cantaloup that weighed 6 2/3 pounds. Write 6 2/3 as a decimal. August 28, 2013 So.... Look at the decimal 0.131133111333...if the pattern continues, is this a repeating decimal? Explain. August 28, 2013 Essential Question (journal time)... How can you convert a rational number to a decimal? August 28, 2013 Accelerated Math August 28, 2013 Rational numbers Irrational numbers August 28, 2013 Irrational Fun!!!!

A team of international astronomers has discovered a low-mass star that exhibits the peculiar chemical abundance ratios associated with the process of creating new atomic nuclei (nucleosynthesis) in a first-generation very-massive star. The team, which includes Timothy Beers, the Notre Dame Chair in Astrophysics at the University of Notre Dame, used the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope's High Dispersion Spectrograph to make the discovery. The team members published a report, "A chemical signature of first-generation very-massive stars," in the Aug. 22 issue of the journal Science.

An accident - an occurrence in which a person suffers a fatal or serious injury; or the aircraft sustains serious damage or structural failure; or the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible. (Note this is an abbreviated version of the complete legal definition);
A serious incident - an incident involving circumstances indicating that an accident nearly occurred;
Accidents and serious incidents involving Isle of Man registered aircraft which have occurred in the UK, a UK Overseas Territory or a Crown Dependency are investigated on our behalf by the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB). To report such events please contact the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch.
- 24-hour reporting line - Telephone: +44 1252 512299
Accidents and serious incidents involving Isle of Man registered aircraft which have occurred in other countries are primarily investigated by the local accident investigation authority. Contact information is available from the International Civil Aviation Organisation.
Regardless of the location of the event, a Form 30 Occurrence Report must be completed and submitted to the Isle of Man Aircraft Registry no later than 96 hours following discovery of the accident or serious incident.
For further information see Registry Publication 5 - Occurrence, Serious Incident and Accident Reporting.
Definition of an 'Occurrence'
"Occurrence" means an operational interruption, defect, fault or other irregular circumstance that has or may have influenced flight safety and that has not resulted in an accident or serious incident;
The Objective
The objective of both Mandatory and Voluntary Reporting is to contribute to the improvement of air safety by ensuring that relevant information on safety is reported, collected, stored, protected and disseminated.
The sole objective of occurrence reporting is the prevention of accidents and incidents and not to attribute blame or liability. This applies to occurrences that endanger or that, if not corrected, would endanger an aircraft, its occupants or any other person.
For further details of Mandatory and Voluntary Reporting please see Registry Publication 5 - Occurrence, Serious Incident and Accident Reporting.
Reporting of occurrences
In the event of an Occurrence, which endangered or which, if not corrected, would endanger an aircraft, the occupants or any other persons, must be reported to the Isle of Man Aircraft Registry within 96 hours using Form 30 Occurrence Report.
If any reporter considers that it is essential that their identity not be revealed, the report itself should be clearly annotated 'CONFIDENTIAL' and submitted directly to 'Director of Civil Aviation'' and the envelope should be marked 'Personal'.
The request will be respected and the reporter will be contacted personally, either by the Director of Civil Aviation or their deputy.
Confidentiality cannot, of course, be guaranteed when an occurrence is reported separately by another party or in respect to gross negligence, wilful violations or destructive acts.
Reporters submitting a Confidential Report must also accept that effective investigation may be inhibited, however, the IOM CAA would rather have a Confidential Report than no report at all.

IVM or IVF/M – egg maturation in vitro – is a revolutionary method of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) helping to increase a woman's chances of using at least some of her immature eggs for fertilization. The best part? IVM is an innovative ART technique that surgically retrieves a woman's eggs while they are still in an immature stage. Look: A woman's eggs can be matured in a controlled laboratory setting – in vitro – through IVF/M.
After the woman's immature eggs are surgically retrieved, they are placed in a petri dish containing a maturation medium for 24 to 48 hours in New Hope Fertility NYC's state-of-the-art IVF lab. That's not all. The retrieved eggs are carefully monitored as they fully mature outside of the woman's body. Then, each individual egg is injected with a single sperm in a fertilization technique known as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). The resulting embryos are cultured for several more days until they have developed into a viable stage for transfer. Why does this matter? Only the highest quality embryos are selected for fresh IVF transfer or cryopreservation.
The best candidates for IVF/M:

Fertility preservation is growing in popularity for a number of reasons. Women of today are waiting longer to start a family. Some women aim to achieve their personal goals before starting a family. Other women are looking to become established professionally and then have children. Another group of women may need to preserve their fertility for a medical reason. Advancements in fertility medicine have allowed for a new method of fertility preservation – ovarian tissue freezing.
Ovarian Tissue Freezing Explained
A woman's eggs are located in the outer layer of her ovaries. During ovarian tissue freezing, the outer layer is removed from the body. This layer contains a large number of eggs that have not yet matured. Once retrieved, the layer is divided into strips and is frozen to be used later. When a woman is ready to have children, the retrieved tissue is placed back into the body and is able to function normally. This allows a woman who otherwise may have difficulty becoming pregnant with her own eggs to start a family.
Benefits of Ovarian Tissue Freezing
With traditional fertility preservation methods, such as egg and embryo freezing, mature eggs are retrieved after a cycle that uses fertility medication. There is a limited number of eggs that can be achieved via this method, with an average of 10 mature eggs being retrieved during a single cycle. When ovarian tissue freezing is done, hundreds of eggs can be retrieved and frozen at one time. There is no need for fertility medication and no need to wait while the cycle progresses.
Further Advancements in Treatment
The field of fertility medicine is continually improving. Great strides are being made in the specialty of in vitro maturation. This process would allow eggs to be matured in a laboratory setting. When this technology becomes widely used and understood, it would avoid the need to transfer the ovarian tissue back. Instead, the IVF process could begin as soon as a woman is ready.
For additional information on ovarian tissue freezing or to learn about your options for fertility preservation, please contact a member of the New Hope Fertility Center team today. Please click the link below to enter your information and New Hope will contact you, or simply call 212-517-7676. Thank you.
In-Vitro Maturization (IVM) is a technique that allows an egg that was not fully developed at the time of egg retrieval, to continue to mature in the lab. An immature egg takes more time to fertilize, therefore a woman's ovulation time is around 14 days to insure that the egg will be at the proper stage for insemination. A culture medium is used to mature the egg, which contains important amino acids. Occasionally the amino acids can be supplemented with follicular fluid from the donor eggs to enhance egg maturation in the lab.
