Pi'iholo Zipline
As well as an intoxicating rush of adrenaline, zippers are bathed in the scent of eucalyptus while soaring above the Makawao forests on this zipline. Parallel lines allow tandem zipping, and views from the final, 2,800-foot line stretch from the North Shore to Haleakala's summit. In winter, you may even see small waterfalls in the valley beneath your feet.

Roman Catholicism has defined various aspects of merit. Merit is the "property of a good work which entitles the doer to receive a reward."1 In the Catholic system of rewards for works accomplished, rewards contribute to a person's salvation. Three main categories of merit have been defined below.
- Strict Merit would be a reward to a person for an action that he performed. The reward is directly related, and also necessarily owed, to that person because of the work he has accomplished. An example would be a specific wage that is owed to a person for a specific amount of work. If the reward is not given, then that is wrong.
- Condign Merit is God's reward for a work accomplished by a person who does His will. God has bound himself to reward the person for work that is accomplished with the help of the Holy Spirit. This reward is owed because God has bound himself to reward those who do his will, not that they deserve it or have earned it in a strict sense. Instead, God has promised to reward certain actions, and when those actions are performed the reward is required on God's part. Therefore, the person should receive the reward, and if it is withheld then that is wrong.
- Congruent Merit depends on the kindness and desire of the one giving the merit. It is a reward that is undeserved, not owed. An example would be if my daughter cleaned up the living room and I took her out to get ice cream as a reward. The ice cream is not owed to her, but she "merited" the reward by her effort. If I do not take her out for ice cream, I've done nothing wrong.
In order to help understand this better, consider the following chart.
|Type of Merit
|Is the person obligated to reward?
|If the reward is not given, then it is
|Reward due to an agreement or necessary and exact recompense due to a work.
|Working for a wage at an hourly rate gets you an exact reward, a paycheck.
is strictly earned and owed
|Not Just
|Reward for an action because of God's promise to reward good works performed by a person who is in God's grace and is also accomplishing God's will.
|Honoring your parents so you have the reward of a blessing from God since God said you'd be blessed for honoring your parents. Therefore, God must give the reward.
is not strictly earned, but it is owed
|Not Just
|Reward for an action based on the kindness and desire of the one giving the merit. It is a reward that is not owed. It is based on the kindness of the one who gives the reward.
|You clean your parent's house though it was not required, and they reward you with ice cream.
|Not Obligated
|Reward is not strictly earned or owed
In Roman Catholicism, salvation is achieved through participation in the sacraments where grace is infused into the person. This infused grace makes the person "more" righteous with God because it is the amount of grace in a person that results in his righteousness before God. Therefore, in order to remain in a state of grace, the Catholics are taught to perform works which contribute to salvation. However, the works are not said to be a strict merit, but rather a condign merit where God grants salvation/grace/righteousness out of the kindness of his own heart that is manifested through the faithful works of the believing Roman Catholic.
The problem with this is that it has led Roman Catholic theology to teach that salvation is attained and maintained by obedience to commandments - which are works.
- "The Second Vatican Council's Decree on Ecumenism explains: "For it is through Christ's Catholic Church alone, which is the universal help toward salvation, that the fullness of the means of salvation can be obtained. It was to the apostolic college alone, of which Peter is the head, that we believe that our Lord entrusted all the blessings of the New Covenant, in order to establish on earth the one Body of Christ into which all those should be fully incorporated who belong in any way to the People of God." (Catechism of the Catholic Church 816).
- "The Council of Trent teaches that the Ten Commandments are obligatory for Christians and that the justified man is still bound to keep them; 28 the Second Vatican Council confirms: "The bishops, successors of the apostles, receive from the Lord . . . the mission of teaching all peoples, and of preaching the Gospel to every creature, so that all men may attain salvation through faith, Baptism and the observance of the Commandments," (CCC, par 2068, http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism/p3s2.htm)
- "The authority of the Magisterium extends also to the specific precepts of the natural law, because their observance, demanded by the Creator, is necessary for salvation. In recalling the prescriptions of the natural law, the Magisterium of the Church exercises an essential part of its prophetic office of proclaiming to men what they truly are and reminding them of what they should be before God," (CCC 2036).
- The Decalogue contains a privileged expression of the natural law. It is made known to us by divine revelation and by human reason," (CCC 2080).
The differentiation between strict, condign, and congruent merit in Roman Catholic theology does not alleviate the problem of their seeking to achieve salvation through the keeping of the commandments, which is the Roman Catholic position as is verified in the quotes above. In contrast to this, the Scriptures clearly teach that justification (our right standing with God) is by faith only and not by any works.
- Romans 3:28, "For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law."
- Romans 4:1-5 "What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about; but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness."

Equipment & Software
One Of The Most Important Components We Need
In order for human beings to move forward and succeed in everything to do, they need to build their way up to get to where they want to be; and this isn't really that easy, because it's not just one straight ladder to the top. There will be many obstacles along the way, trying to demotivate you and distract you from what you hope to achieve for yourself. To make sure that you get past all these various obstacles, you have to have a lot of willpower and strength in you. You have to show them that you have what it takes to get to the top, and there's nothing they can do to stop you. True enough, the time period it may take will vary from person to person, it could probably take even up to a decade or sooner, but the main thing is that you don't lose your personality and never forget the people who helped you get where you are in life.
This could get difficult due to all the temptations and distractions, though. So you have to believe in yourself no matter what the consequences. Over the past couple of decades, this is what people have done to get where they are, but they make it look so easy, when it's certainly not. A lot of people have started at rock bottom, but have not lost faith, and have worked hard enough to become CEO's of multi-billionaire companies in the world. This is more than enough to be a motivational factor for anyone out there. As you won't immediately get there, it's always good to start small, like in steel sales Melbourne, because even that's a booming business in the economy.
It would be a sort of starting point for you, but there are so many other types of sales you could get into, like marketing or tourism. Sales in general requires skill and patience for people to agree to whatever you're selling, and that can be practiced and comes with quite a lot of experience. Putting sales and marketing aside, another type of business that's booming is construction itself. In some western and Asian countries, there's so much of construction and high rise buildings slowly coming up. This is where they would need crane hire services to move all the heavy concrete blocks from place to place. Some might say that some parts of the world are starting to look like concrete jungles, due to all the tall buildings and skyscrapers everywhere. See this webpage to find out more reviews regarding crane hire services.

👞The revolution of the FUTURE LEATHER (Veggie World Vegan fair in Lyon)
I have been a vegetarian for 6 years and I am very healthy !
At present, there are nearly 60 billion animals slaughtered every year worldwide.
It is also the second largest source of global pollution, it is a real social problem.
I think it's really fundamental that we talk about it more and more, and that in our daily habits we take the step.
With kindness, with tolerance too, without having extremist speech.
We'll see that now, on video !
The FUTURE LEATHER a true revolution !
Vegan leather, an ecological, ethical and quality solution !
I will talk about vegan leather mainly.
I am absolutely a fan of this subject.
So, it really looks like leather…
But on top of that it's more breathable and waterproof than leather.
In addition to this, the brands that produce vegan leather, almost all make in Portugal, under ethical conditions, in Portugal or Great Britain or in Italy.
Interview of the creator of the Bellastoria brand :
« Bellastoria » is a vegan brand of shoes, all handmade in Tuscany, Italy near Florence.
We make custom shoes, so you can come here and choose the models and materials you like.
We make all the Italian vegan leather shoes made in Italy.
We use microfiber, nettles, hemp, recycled shirts, car airbags recycled and cut.
We make shoes for women and for men, for women up to 45 and for men up to 52!
Yes for Big Foot, big feet, we also make shoes!
You have a line of shoes on your site and you also have a tailor-made offer.
Yes exactly ! -laughter-
You make casual shoes, sneakers etc … but you also make shoes for gentleman !
Yes we made shoes for work and we made high heels for women.
If you have a model that you like you can send me an email and if I can I will do it.
Can you tell us the family story? Because you told me it's been a while since you make shoes …
Yes it's been more than 30 years since my family made shoes … – Your father too! – Yes my father too! The whole family ! »
Interview with Fantome :
« You propose an alternative to leather … The alternative that we propose to us at » Fantome « is to have the tube of recycled bicycle. It's nice, and suddenly you do everything in France? That's it, we have our workshops in Bordeaux, south of Bordeaux … And we try to work as locally as possible. »
Interview of Gabriel, founder of Ahimsa :
So you are the owner of the brand Ahimsa, can you introduce your brand? Yes, Ahimsa is a Vegan brand made in Brazil. We have our own factories, we have been doing this for 5 years and I am very happy that we can offer high quality shoes made in Brazil with ethical working conditions. We also really take care of our employees. And it's amazing because you also make luxury shoes, with blake methods, Goodyear (the kind of shoes that last a lifetime). Yes it's part of our business, we try to bring back the quality, the vintage. Doing this type of construction is one of the main goals of our brand. Thank you for making gentleman's shoes too … Vegan!
There are still who will arrive!
Vegan leather will make the revolution in the coming years !
Because this material allows to go through no animal product. Animal that was murdered and then skinned to take his skin. This material is better than leather in all aspects and of course … the ethical aspect … and … ecological, without neglecting quality and aesthetics !
Remember to leave a comment !

Best Places to Visit in Queens
Queens is one of the least famous of New York's five boroughs, but for those who are willing to make the journey to this great destination there's plenty to see and even more to do. Here's a run down of some of the famous sites and hidden gems of this part of the city.
Lemon Ice King of Corona
If you want some refreshing juice and some even tastier ice cream, hit up the self proclaimed King of Corona. The Benfaremo family have been perfecting their ice cream recipes for the past sixty years and with three-dozen flavours available you've got plenty to choose from.
Bohemian Hall Beer Garden
This packed out beer garden in the heart of Astoria is a great place to spend an evening out. Ice cold pitchers of beer, a Czech BBQ and live music mean that you'll find yourself suitably entertained whatever the weather. Though you might want to wait until the weather calms down a little before!
If you come to Queens as a tourist and you miss this then you've got something truly wrong with you! The Unisphere was built in 1964 as a symbol of world peace and although peace didn't descend on the world, the people of Queens quickly became attached to the sculpture. Today it is the symbol of the borough and a popular place for people to hang out and relax.
This Art Museum is one of the cultural centres of Queens, a space where local and international artists can exhibit their work. The Museum also exhibits an incredible diorama (scale model) of New York City and its five boroughs.

When GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum was growing up, he says, John F. Kennedy was a hero in his Catholic home.
In a speech last year, he said he had always heard glowing reports of Kennedy's speech about religion to Protestant ministers in 1960.
"And then very late in my political career, I had the opportunity to read the speech and I almost threw up," Santorum told a group of college students last year. "You should read the speech. In my opinion, it was the beginning of the secular movement of politicians to separate their faith from the public square."
Watch Kennedy's 1960 Speech
In his Sept. 12, 1960, speech in Houston, then-Sen. John Kennedy said:
"I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute — where no Catholic prelate would tell the president, should he be Catholic, how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishoners for whom to vote — where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference — and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the president who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.
"I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish — where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source — where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials — and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all."
Read the full transcript at the JFK Library website.
Santorum said Tuesday that he regrets his graphic language. But he insists Kennedy's view was wrong, particularly the opening, when Kennedy said, "I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute, where no Catholic prelate would tell the president, should he be Catholic, how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote."
On Sunday, Santorum told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that Kennedy set the foundation for expelling faith from politics. "What kind of country do we live in that says only people of nonfaith can come in the public square and make their case?" he asked rhetorically.
But Shaun Casey, who teaches politics and religion at Wesley Theological Seminary and who authored a political biography of Kennedy called The Making of a Catholic President, says he thinks that's "a radical misunderstanding of what Kennedy was trying to convey in that speech."
Casey says Kennedy would have been "booed off the stage" if he implied there was no place for religion in public life. He says Kennedy was explicit: While religious leaders should not tell politicians how to vote, they can and should instruct politicians on faith and morals.
The speech has to be read in context, Casey says. Kennedy was running in a political climate that was openly hostile to Catholics.
"And the primary issue is the accusation that Catholicism represents a church and a state, that inevitably to be Catholic means you want to have a Catholic-dominated state — and that Catholic leaders will coerce Catholic politicians to make that so," Casey says.
Fifty years later, the political climate is vastly different.
"In 1960, the issue was differences between religious affiliations — such as between Protestants and Catholics," says John Green, a political scientist at the University of Akron.
Green says many Protestants considered the pope to be a threat. Now, conservative Catholics and Protestants have joined forces — and they consider the big threat to be secularism.
"The conflict seems to be based around the level of religiosity — with more traditionally religious people in most, if not all, religious communities having different views about politics than those who are more progressive or more liberal or less traditional," Green says.
He says Santorum is finding a receptive audience among conservative, white evangelical Protestants: He won 51 percent of them in Michigan and is favored among them in polls nationwide. Indeed, Santorum says the Obama administration is waging a war on religion, even claiming that the president practices a "phony theology."
And the president is not the only target.
"One of the reasons I think Santorum is talking about religion is also to shine a bright light on his opponent Mitt Romney's reticence to talk about religion," Casey says. "So it's not just about getting the record 'straight' on JFK and attacking Democrats. It has the added benefit of shining a bright light on the fact that Mitt Romney ... is very hesitant to address the issue."
Romney is a Mormon, and polls suggest that makes many Republican primary voters uncomfortable. Romney tried to address that issue five years ago, in a speech modeled on Kennedy's. But unlike 50 years ago, Romney's speech does not appear to have put voters' concerns to rest.

The telephone first saw the light of day way back in the 1800s. After 160 years and counting, callers are definitely due for an upgrade. If you are setting up a new business, therefore, you should consider a virtual PBX.
What is a Virtual PBX?
"Virtual PBX" stands for virtual private branch exchange. Almost every business has some type of PBX, which connects phones, modems, and fax lines within a business to outside providers. A virtual PBX connects phones, fax machines, and other equipment to an internet-based network. Basically, PBX is to a virtual PBX what your grandpa's phone is to Skype.
What is So Great About a Virtual PBX?
There are many notable advantages to using a virtual PBX.
Cost. Most virtual PBX phone plans cost just a fraction of what other phone plans charge. For $20-$35 per month, you can get unlimited domestic and international calling. That is unbeatable for a small business with international customers or remote workers. For some perspective on the matter, mobile companies sometimes charge over a dollar per minute for international calls.
Virtual PBX plans have your toll free calling needs covered as well. Some virtual PBX providers offer unlimited toll free calls, while others charge just pennies per minute.
Compatibility: With a virtual PBX, it's easy to add an automated phone answering system to your number, as well as services like conference calling and transfers. CTI systems that allow you to see customer information and prioritize incoming calls are also compatible with a virtual PBX. Furthermore, you can get sophisticated statistics on calls using cloud-based analytics software.
Room to Grow: One of the most convenient things about a PBX phone system is its ability to move and grow with your business. If you move to a new office, there's no need to change your phone number of notify your provider; you can just pick up your phone, put it in the moving crate with your other office supplies, and cart it over to your new locations.
Similarly, expanding your company is child's play with a virtual PBX. When you hire more employees, you can purchase more phones and add them to your current plan. Your pre-installed automated phone answering system can help direct customers to the appropriate party.
You can even have phones in different locations – or countries – connected to your network, so if you have personnel in remote places, their phones will be directly linked to the ones in your office. When you travel, don't forget to take a phone with you so you can stay on the office network.
Automatic Updates: Virtual PBX systems are run by VoIP companies that update their service through the cloud. Since your system is constantly connected to this network, you will automatically receive the most up-to-date features available.
Virtual PBX systems are the upgraded version of standard phone system: they are sophisticated, flexible and, perhaps most importantly, very inexpensive. So when you are ready to enlist a phone provider for your small business, go with a virtual PBX for the best deal. After all, analog phones are so last century.

A short glance at several literature and you can see that the two are technically the same in principle – both requires the elimination of the addicting substance from the body in preparation for therapeutic modalities. However, there is a very distinct difference between acute and sub-acute detox programs. And when it comes to acute detox Mississippi programs, it does pay to really understand this difference when it comes to detoxification.
An acute detox program is primarily intended for moderate to severe drug abuse cases where the likelihood of life-threatening withdrawal symptoms and signs is simply too great to be set aside. Because of the urgent nature of the ill effects of drugs, detoxification must be started immediately in order to stabilize the individual's condition first before any succeeding evaluations and treatments are initiated. If the acute detox program is not immediately started, irreversible brain damage can occur because of the severity of grand mal seizures associated with severe drug addiction withdrawal manifestations.
In grand mal seizures, the brain's electrical activity goes highly erratic to produce spams and jerking movements. What is not seen by the naked eye is the similar effects of these neuro-electrical misfiring on the muscles of the heart. Additionally, the seizure activity substantially deprives the brain of much-needed oxygen which can lead to potentially disastrous consequences. In most cases, if the drug effects are not addressed immediately, there is a very strong likelihood that the individual may lose his life. It is for this reason that acute detox programs are performed – to first save life before any other treatments or procedures can be initiated.
In a sub-acute detox program, the health problems are not as severe or life-threatening compared to those in the acute clinical type. So, the individual undergoing a sub-acute detox program can follow the normal course of drug treatment and rehabilitation where the individual is first evaluated before undergoing detoxification and stabilization. Towards the end, the individual is prepared for the various psychological and behavioral therapies that have been known the world over as the hallmark of drug addiction treatment and rehabilitation programs. This is not to say that the acute detox program does not have the additional components of those found in sub-acute programs. The only difference is in the sequencing of the phases where detoxification and stabilization comes first before a thorough evaluation.
It is therefore very important for medical personnel managing the acute detox program to be very knowledgeable and highly skilled in the overall management of the acute detox experience. This is very important because of the life-threatening conditions and the seriousness of the individual's case that are often seen in individuals with severe drug addiction problems. More often than not, these individuals have grown so dependent on illicit drugs that removing them will be life-threatening in itself.
Acute detox programs are excellent for people who may have had grown so dependent on illicit drugs.

At the point when individuals consider making changes to their home, it is possible that a couple of rooms or the whole space, regularly they envision shading. By and large individuals pick hues they are enamored with or those which relate with household items. When looking for thoughts for enlivening a home, one thought which is maybe neglected is beautifying with the two fundamental hues – high contrast.
Highly contrasting, utilized in beautifying, makes show and style. It is said that each room can profit by utilizing a bit of dark. Dark is a shading which stays and grounds a room. Including advancement, dark is unquestionably a shading that requests consideration. Thoughts for enriching a home utilizing dark may incorporate frill, for example, light installations, trim or furniture. Dark serves to add definition to central purposes of a room. Dark is only one shading that sticks out or creates an impression.
Utilizing highly contrasting when finishing a home, gives a spotless, new, rich climate. This blend can be added to any room in a home making it a complex space. High contrast are regularly utilized in contemporary home improving and frequently used to complement different hues in French Country structure. It might be difficult to envision however there are numerous thoughts for enhancing a home utilizing just these two essential hues.
The floor is an incredible spot to begin in embellishing a space. High contrast vinyl tiles laid on the other hand makes an excellent checkerboard example and looks perfect and rich. Dark marble utilized on the floor, highlighted by wide white baseboards, another wonderful thought for brightening a home. White artistic tiles with a dark fringe or essentially paint the floor dark or white and use stencils of the contrary shading for embellishment. These are extraordinary thoughts for adorning a home.
White dividers, is there much else impeccable? Painting the dividers white or even a grayish, would make an ideal foundation for frill, for example, fine art confined in dark. That you can envision. Rich dark window medications or dark screen against a perfect, fresh white divider would make a quality of refinement. Maybe a glass-top table with dark iron trim and dark seats, these are awesome thoughts for enlivening a home utilizing high contrast.
A room enriched utilizing highly contrasting would be dazzling. An iron bed-outline in dark or white, secured with a striped highly contrasting sofa. For the pad disgraces, you could utilize either all dark or all white and could include toss pads in the contrary shading. A pleasant calfskin dark or white seat in the corner would be absolutely highlight the room. At that point the white dividers with an exquisite bit of work of art, confined in dark holding tight it, this would without a doubt add to the contemporary feel. Dark furniture against the fresh white dividers would look perfect and clean. Jazz up the live with frill, for example, pewter or silver candles, containers or jars. In the event that you think the room needs a little shading to finish the look, maybe a toss or pad in an intense shading like red or gold, for the seat toward the edge of the room would be sufficient to highlight the room.
Thoughts for brightening a home, they are various. Discovering one that suits you and those that live in your house is significant. It's pleasant to accomplish something radical and off-the-divider however recall you should probably live with it for a short time.

Women's and Gender Studies
The Women's and Gender Studies (WST) minor integrates social science, science and humanistic approaches by using women's experience and feminist theory to analyze themes in the humanities, fine arts, social sciences, and natural sciences. The Women's Studies minor further emphasizes the interdisciplinary study of women and gender, and an inclusive study of women that acknowledges differences such as race, class, sexuality, and national belonging. Women's Studies develops students' skills of critical thinking and reading, communication and analysis, writing and research, imagination and creative expression.
Women's and Gender Studies is a flexible, versatile field of study that can be used in many careers. Women's Studies provides students a strong education in writing, critical thinking, research, public presentation, and leadership skills that are valuable in many fields. In addition, many employers are increasingly aware that they need to deal with gender and diversity issues in the workplace.

The Facts About Stretch Marks
Stretch Marks: The Truth and The Myths
They are a big fear for pregnant women. They can make you completely change your view of your body, your comfort level with it…and your wardrobe.
They threaten to banish your bikinis from bikini season and make you never want to see your waist in the mirror. This nemesis of women is stretch marks.
If you know the facts about stretch marks, such as what causes them and what they actually are, you are better equipped to sort bogus miracle cures from things that will actually help you prevent stretch marks.
1. What are stretch marks, actually?
Stretch marks are caused by the skin stretching rapidly to accommodate sudden tissue growth that happens underneath your skin.
This occurs when you rapidly gain weight, such as during pregnancy. The sudden tissue growth actually tears the middle layer of your dermis, or the second layer of your skin. These tears, once they show themselves as similar to scars, are what we call stretch marks.
Pregnant women are the most likely group to develop stretch marks since the skin stretches considerably and rapidly in the abdomen and breast area. People who lift weights can also develop stretch marks, especially on their arms. Even adolescents are susceptible to stretch marks as their bodies grow quickly.
2. Stretch marks are inevitable: true or false?
Most women, about 90%, do get stretch marks when they are pregnant. Does this mean that it is impossible to avoid stretch marks? Is there any hope for a woman who is expecting?
Most articles you will find on the internet, and most doctors, will tell you that stretch marks are inevitable. They will tell you that there is no way to prevent them and that genetics dictate whether or not you will be left with these scars. It seems like a hopeless case!
However, not to fret as there is some good news for women. Stretch marks are not inevitable. While genetics can increase your chances of getting stretch marks, they do not dictate your future. There are actually things you can do to lessen your chances of stretch marks.

About Us
I learned HTML and CSS from a kid's game site (Neopets, for those with kids, check it out) when I was about 19. I really wanted a customized profile like the other's had. At the time I had no idea it was the start to something more.
I soon began playing around with it and built my own website. By the time I decided to take a small community program I was already a head of the game.
Still, I hadn't considered building sites for other people, I just wanted to build a site for my jewelry (psychecreations.ca) and for my own blog (amandalynnemurtagh.com).
It wasn't until I lost yet another job to being chronically (yet undiagnosed) ill, that the potential of all I had been learning came to light.
I dove head first into the world of online business from the comfort (and safety) of my bed and soon learned about virtual assistance as a way to use my years of office experience.
Over time I tried doing more social media management work (and still work with TeachMeSocial.ca) but it wasn't my favourite. Truth be told, building websites still gets my focus. I absolutely love when I can help someone realize their dreams with the online business they need.
Amanda is my right-hand lady (I'm not even sure if she's right-handed).
Amanda may be the one responding to your emails or working through stages with us to create the perfect website and online platform for you.
Amanda (no, I don't get tired of repeating my name) is also the amazing artist and owner of Ravinzangel.ca so go support mental health initiatives and great art!

David has written about preeclampsia in the past, but I thought I'd talk about some specific studies that have been published on that topic.
Recall that preeclampsia is when a pregnant woman develops high blood pressure and protein in the urine after the 20th week of pregnancy and it is usually associated with edema (swelling). Although preeclampsia occurs in only 5 to 8% of pregnancies, it is a major contributor of premature deliveries and neonatal morbidity in the United States. Because the etiology of preeclampsia is not well understood, the ability to predict and prevent preeclampsia continues to be poor.
Numerous biochemical markers have been studied for their ability to predict the onset of preeclampsia. Why do we seek a marker to predict preeclampsia when there is not a good treatment? It is hoped that if we could identify who was likely to develop preeclampsia then we could study interventions in that group which may ultimately lead to a way to prevent it. Unfortunately, no good markers have been identified as of yet.
In 2004 the World Health Organization did a systematic review of 7,191 potentially relevant scientific papers on this topic. Eighty-seven articles were ultimately included in the analysis and the WHO concluded that "As of 2004, there is no clinically useful screening test to predict the development of preeclampsia."
However, also in 2004, Levine et al published a paper indicating that the circulating angiogenic factors called soluble fms-like tyrosine 1 (sFLT-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF) could be potential markers for the early prediction of preeclampsia. These proteins play a role in angiogenesis and are hypothesized to be required for normal embryonic vascularization. This caused a lot of excitement and led to many promising studies that examined the clinical utility of measuring Sflt-1 and PlGF to predict the onset of preeclampsia.
Unfortunately, these markers have not turned out to be all we had hoped they would be. In 2007 Widmer et al published the results from a systematic review of studies of sFlt-1 and PlGF. Ten of 184 available studies analyzing sFlt-1 and 14 of 319 studies analyzing PlGF were included in their review. The authors said that the evidence supports the possibility that sFlt-1 and PlGF are associated with the pathophysiology of preeclampsia or its phenotypes. In addition, third trimester changes in the blood concentrations of the markers were associated with preeclampsia, especially when the disease was severe. However, they concluded that "… the evidence is neither strong enough nor sufficient to recommend placental growth factor and sFlt-1 to screen women at risk to develop preeclampsia…" and "Prospective studies employing rigorous laboratory and study design criteria are needed to determine the clinical usefulness of these tests."
Apparently, there is a study called the "WHO Global Program to Conquer Preeclampsia" which was scheduled to start mid 2006; in this investigation approximately 10,000 women will be screened serially to evaluate these biomarkers for preeclampsia. So far, no data has been published on the results of this study…so stay tuned!

This song makes me feel funky in more ways than one. This song just make me want to get up and dance the night away. I have heard this song before and I have always liked it. It is a catchy song that makes people enjoy the music as soon as they hear it. The composer and artist did an excellent job with creating this song because it touched upon many different genres and styles of music; this would make the song appeal to more than just one type of listener, and the types of listeners that prefer hit songs regardless of the genre. The lyrics are also interesting because they sing about dreaming about a girl they have their eye on.
Artist Name: The O'Jays

Record Label: Philly Int'l
Chart Peak Position: Pop: 79 and R&B: 18
When I saw the name of this song I knew what it was right away, but I remember a different version of the song. This is a slow ballad with a nice soft tempo to it. I would prefer to listen to the Led Zeppelin version of this song because this is more of a soft, sweet song. Personally, this song is to slow for me to listen to because I prefer more upbeat songs that get my body moving to the beat of the music. Nonetheless, this is a very nice song to listen to because there is so much meaning within the lyrics of this song.
Artist Name: Maxine Nightingale
Song Name: Right Back Where We Started
Composer: Edwards- Stubbs
Release Date: March 1976
Record Label: United Art
Chart Peak Position: Pop: 2 and R&B: 1
This song reminds me of when I was in elementary school because we used this song in a play we did. I was so young and nervous to perform in front of all the people; however because I grew to love the song I didn't mind after. I just imagined myself dancing in my room with no one around and watching which is what got me through the performance. Ever since I heard this song I loved it. It is such an upbeat song that I can just dance to and I love the tone of Maxine's voice. This is a very popular song that is always played; I hear in T.V shows and in movies all the time.
Artist Name: Dorothy Moore
Song Name: Misty Blue
Composer: Montgomery
Release Date: April 1976
Record Label: Malaco
Chart Peak Position: Pop: 3 and R&B: 2
While I was listening to this song I felt that it put me in a very funky mood. It reminded me of my friend's mother who loves disco music. Whenever my friend's mother drove us around to different places she would always be playing disco music in the car and this was one of the songs she played. I like this type of music because it puts you in a joyous mood and it is easy music to dance to. If this song came on all one would need to do is move their feet to the beat of the music and start to sway back and forth. Moreover, I like when songs bring back old memories or help create new memories because it makes the song more meaningful to the listener.
Artist Name: Parliment
Song Name: Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)
Composer: Brailey, Clinton, Collins
Release Date: June 1976
Record Label: Casablanca
Chart Peak Position: Pop: 15 and R&B: 5
This is a classic funk song that gets people up and going. Every occasion I go to I hear this song because it gets people on the dance floor and grooving. Every time this song comes on my uncle gets all the attention on the dance floor because he just lets his body go. It is his favourite song and everybody knows it, so we play it on purpose to see him get up and dance. See the smile on his face when it comes on makes everyone else smile and have a good time. This is a really good song and I am surprised this song didn't make it to the number one spot.
Artist Name: Walter Murphy & Big Apple Band
Song Name: A Fifth of Beethoven
Composer: Walter Murphy
Release Date: July 1976
Record Label: Private Sock
Chart Peak Position: Pop: 1 and R&B: 10
This song is played everywhere, 30 years ago and today. I instantly reminded me of when I was small and watching a movie with my father. This is a very famous song played all over the radios and T.V still today. This reminded me of how I used to always watch movies with my father on Saturday nights and it was when we used to bond. This sing is very upbeat and hard at certain times which makes the song what it is. Everybody has heard this song in their life and can relate it to something. It also reminds me of the piano version which I always play on the piano.
Artist Name: Curtis Mayfield
Song Name: Only You Babe
Composer: Curtis Mayfield
Release Date: July 1976
Record Label: Curtom
Chart Peak Position: Pop: N/A and R&B: 8
This is a very sweet song however I do not like this song. It has a good beat and tempo to it but I would not listen to it again. The reason I do not enjoy listening to this song is because it reminds me of an ex-boyfriend of mine. This song was always playing n his house because his parents loved listening to it and it reminds me of them when I hear it so I do not like listening to this song. If It didn't bring back bad memories for me, I would enjoy listening to it because i do like the beat of the song; I used to love listening to it all the time.
Artist Name: Commodores
Song Name: Just to be Close to You
Composer: Lionel Ritchie
Release Date: October 1976
Record Label: Motown
Chart Peak Position: Pop: 7 and R&B: 1
This song makes me feel happy because I know that there are actually people in this world who have a love that is unlike anybody else's. It is a song with a significant meaning behind it because of the lyrics. It is very rare to find individuals who are nearly selfless and have a lot of love to give; moreover, many people can speak about their ridiculous amounts of love to give, but only a small portion of them can deliver. This artist sings about wanting to be close to someone they love a lot which is a very common feeling among people.
Artist Name: Brick
Song Name: Dazz
Composer: Hargis-Irons-Ransom
Release Date: November 1976
Record Label: Bang
Chart Peak Position: Pop: 3 and R&B: 1
I love this song because the beat is very groovy and gets me in the mood to dance. This song expresses this concept that is rarely ever followed in modern society because a lot of people love others for the type of car that they drive, how much money they make, or what kind of clothes that they wear; it is rare to find somebody who likes another person for who they naturally are. I enjoy listening to this song because it expresses a concept that I am passionate about. I love the trumpet solo in the middle of the song; it reminds me of when I used to play it in high school.
