Ransomware is malware that locks your computer and mobile devices or encrypts your electronic files. When this happens, you can't get to the data unless you pay a ransom. However this is not guaranteed and you should never pay!
Prevention is possible. Following simple cyber security advice can help you to avoid becoming a victim of ransomware.
Unfortunately, in many cases, once the ransomware has been released into your device there is little you can do unless you have a backup or security software in place.
Nevertheless, it is sometimes possible to help infected users to regain access to their encrypted files or locked systems, without having to pay. We have created a repository of keys and applications that can decrypt data locked by different types of ransomware.
At the moment, not every type of ransomware has a solution. Keep checking this website as new keys and applications are added when available.
The battle is over for these ransomware threats. If you have been infected with one of these types of ransomware click on the link under its name and it will lead you to a decryption tool.

I want you to be a man by M. Gaza, Palestine
The power was off while the dark sky was moonless, empty, except of some reconnaissance drones that I thought were bright stars in the dawn. Everything was pretty quiet, and everyone from my family inside one room of our small unpainted house was sleeping and snoring on their mattresses without blankets. The atmosphere was really hot, and I was listening to the radio. That was the last thing I could remember before I slept.
Like any young man thrilled to not to be only a number within his society, I was dreaming of living in peace, love, and a better life. The dream I had was a sweet dream, but actually I couldn't remember the whole of it since I woke up hurrying to a broken window in the crowded room we were sleeping in. At first, I really did not know why I woke up and why I hurried.
Looking through that window, I could see what I will never forget! I saw screaming women with their sleeping clothes still on, pouring into the street, running while carrying their little kids between their arms, not knowing where to go. Elders were crawling like little children asking for help, but no one could be of help. Men and youths were crying, running and holding white rags. Boys and girls were spread everywhere in that burnt street with tears running down their red cheeks.
However, I could hear nothing! I did not hear the screams of the women, the moans of the elders or the cries of the men. I wondered if I got Hypoacusis, but I am sure I did not! I looked around myself in that room to wake my sleeping family up, but I found no one! The door of the room was open, and everyone was out. I rushed to the hall of the home and no one was there. I looked into the kitchen and the other rooms, but I realized I was left alone.
Having no hopes in staying at home alone to wait for my family, I went out and joined the crowds of people who were still running to somewhere seeking shelter! This time I could hear everything, including the bombs and the buzzing of the drones in that black sky that did not light for us! I saw how burnt the trees were, and I saw the dead, chopped, burnt bodies of men, women, and children spread in every corner in the street.
While running in the river of terrified people, I saw little innocent children who did not know what was going on except crying over their weeping mothers. At once, my mind stopped thinking about everything around me and focused only on those children and their dreams, hopes and future! I thought about how they did not deserve what was going on, and that they shouldn't have stopped going to their schools because of the war. They should have been able to learn, even during that war that lasted for more than fifteen days in 2014's summer in the besieged Gaza Strip. I had and still have a belief in my life that literacy must be taught whether under wars or during peace.
To make sure my family was alright, I went to my father's uncle's home, that my dad used to always go to whenever something dangerous happened. I found my family there, and everyone was scared except my dad who was so mad at me! Well, he slapped me on my face asking me why I did not pick up the phone when he called me. I asked him why he did not take me with him when they fled, telling him that my phone's battery was dead.
"I wanted you to be a man, so I left you alone at home. Well, in this war, I shouldn't have done this!" Dad said, and then hugged me. I was and am still proud of my dad, who wanted me to be a man even during the bad situations.
I hugged my mother, who was crying silently, and kissed her forehead, then stayed with my sisters who were shivering like the trees in the autumn. My brothers were playing around us as if nothing was going on though.
Luckily, the home we stayed at had a generator generating electricity, so I rushed to charge my phone and then leaned against the wall where I put the charger. I started thinking about those children again! I really felt the need to do something for them!
I looked into my phone, and I opened the file where I had the phone numbers of some of my American, British, and Australian friends who were residing in the Strip that day. I knew someone who used to come to schools as a voluntary English teacher, so I called him asking him to meet me in a UNRWA school nearby where hundreds of families with their children sheltered.
I went to that school, and saw how much people were suffering. Men were lying on the floor of the playground of the school, and some of them were holding radios listening to what was going on. Women, girls, and children were inside the crowded classes, each of which contained more than 30 people.
I waited for ten minutes before my friend came along with a friend of his. I hugged them, shook their hands and introduced myself to the new friend.
Staying among the crowds of men in the playground of the school, my friend, his friend, and I started discussing a plan to create a new atmosphere to the "homeless" children in that school. We made a plan, a good one, and started to put the children into groups, with the help of the many volunteers that joined us directly. We helped them with English classes, educational games, storytelling and many other things that could make them forget about the war. Our plan started including more schools and shelters within the area I live.
Positively affecting me, this program made me another person, especially when I felt the smiles, joy, and the hops from the children and their families. Before the end of the program, moreover, the families became my friends, the volunteers and me feel so special after they thanked us with what they had. That made me who I am now.
After the end of the program, many educational institutions offered me to work with them, which I did. Now, I am working with one of those institutions that I would never have been able to work with if it weren't for what I did during the war.

There's nothing more depressing than staring at the charts to see zero surf forecast for the foreseeable future. Even worse, when you don't check the charts, rock up at the beach with high hopes and find the water flat as a pancake.
Now what? With surfing ruled out of the equation, there is very little left to fill your work-free days that doesn't involve mind-numbingly dull trips to IKEA or completing long overdue chores. Anything is better than constructing flat pack furniture.
Mpora.com put together seven amazingly thoughtful tips to prevent you from going temporarily crazy while waiting for the waves to return.
1. Stare longingly out the window
Staring out the window into the glum, waveless abyss is almost as soul destroying as watching snooker on TV. As boredom sets in, your bum imprint in the sofa will sink ever deeper, eyes glazing over like a trout behind the fish counter, before you begin to marinade in a mixture of your own perspiration/tears.
The more you stare, the more likely surf will arrive. Right? Sometimes you should make a foray to the fridge to see if that mouldy celery stick has transformed itself into a bacon sandwich and a six-pack of beer. On discovering it hasn't, return to the sofa and begin the process again.
2. Go to the pub
This is the obvious answer. When all else fails, go to the pub.
Pubs don't rely on the weather. They won't wash your insides out with saltwater. Pubs are generally warm, dry and will feed you pork scratchings/peanuts at your leisure. There's nothing like that fuzzy feeling you get with a cold pint in hand and an entire day at your disposal.
3. Re-enact Groundhog Day
You remember that film Groundhog Day? Where Bill Murray is forced to relive the same day over and over again? He decides to do all the things that he never had time to do in life. Like going to a restaurant and ordering everything on the menu. Learning to play the piano. Saving small children from falling out of trees.
Make Bill your role model and do all those things you've been meaning to do, but never got round to. Turn that abandoned skateboard into a handplane. Give your board the most spectacular wax job it has ever seen. Do a beach clean up. Join a yoga class. Make one of those Indo boards you've always claimed is piss easy to construct yourself.
Maybe don't follow Bill by driving off a cliff or jumping from a building though…
4. Go Mind Surfing
Whether you're stuck in the office or miles from the nearest break, mind surfing is essential therapy for the surfless surfer. For those who are uninitiated, mind surfing is the act of surfing imaginary waves with the aid of a rad photo, a Kelly Slater GoPro part or just pure imagination.
When waves are few and far between, it can make the difference between a mildly grumpy surfer and one that will bite-your-head-off at a moments notice. Here's a pretty good place to start. Who needs real waves when you can surf the perfect wave in your head?
5. Get yourself a girlfriend/boyfriend
If you haven't already got one, they're a pretty fun thing to have.
When the surf is flat, it's nice to have someone who will lounge around in bed all day with you, watching Big Bang Theory and eating Doritos in your pants.
If you both surf, then you can wallow in misery together, preferably in bed as previously mentioned. However, if you've got a non-surfer in your midst, then they will be particularly chuffed that attention is shifted entirely onto them and they're not being left in bed at 5am because dawnies are (quite rightly) more important than lie ins.
6. Go In-Land

Victor JVC has announced [JP] a new home theater sound system for the Japanese market today, consisting of a set of two speakers (SP-FT1/FT2) and the corresponding amplifier (AX-FT1/FT2). And the system is very pretty, mainly because the speakers are just 30.8mm thin and weigh 0.85kg each.
At 31mm, the amplifier is a tiny bit thicker and weighs 0.73kg.It features 20W×4ch(4Ω) average power output and Dolby Digital DTS and AAC support. You can either hang the speakers up on a wall or use a stand that Victor JVC throws in.
The sound system will go on sale in Japan at the end of this month. No announcements for markets outside Japan were made, but Japanese buyers will have to pay $260 for the amplifier and $220 for the speaker set. The system will be available in black and white.

Oceania Cruises
As one of the leading luxury cruise lines in the world, Oceania cruises focus on the things that matter. That goes to say that their ships are relaxed, elegant, comfortable and take guests to some truly remarkable destinations; enriching their travelling minds and immersing them in their excellent surroundings.
Something else that Oceania has definitely got right is the way that food should be at sea. Fine dining is usually something that you would find in extravagant, Michelin starred restaurants, but these floating luxury hotels offer an abundance of sumptuous dishes over a wide range of dining areas; all overseen by Master Chef Jacques Pépin.
Guests can look forward to inviting plates that come bearing gifts such as 'Duck à l'Orange with Braised Red Cabbage and Almond Potato Croquettes' and 'Steamed Maine Lobster on Castilla–La Mancha Saffron Rice', whilst irresistible desserts like 'Nine Minute Baked Valrhona Chocolate Cake with Raspberries and Vanilla Ice Cream' won't hang around for too long before disappearing and being replaced by an empty plate.
If sailing the world in style and delighting your taste buds along the way is what cruising is all about for you, then Oceania will definitely not disappoint.

text: % interment in measured tones [death metal reviews] In the name of the father, of the son...from the parallelograms of heat muted to light I modulated into the darkened room smelling of stale bread and eroded grease odors. Above the thick skin of checkerboarded red and white tablecloth the face of my friend Ed caught the fractured triangle of reflection, closing his eye to a squint. "Barf christ," he scowled. "Hasn't been a great day." These were the days when we could view days individually, before they began to integrate into patterns, progressions, marriages, jobs, or various cycles of decay that we learned to dread our way through. Right then it was finding a place, staying, finding a job, moving on. "So what's new on your mind?" The flies clustered like broken petrified logs in a corner, odd angulars into a society. "Not that much. Some crisis at the radio station, transmitter melted or something under the force of our air conditioner, they finally fixed it. With the condition of most of that stuff I'm just glad nothing blew up on us. Almost got a ticket, but - I saw this in the cop's eye - he saw a black Mercedes pull an illegal U, and damn, I was off free and he was turning, a bulking steel shark, off down the street after him." "Lucky." My experiences had been less pleasantly resolved in recent memories of that area. Through the suffocating static smother of the store speakers a hard bluesrock tune came on under the enthusiastic voice of the female DJ, who had trouble pronouncing the phrase "coming in concert" over the sound. Ed looked up annoyedly at the speakers. The front of a woman ducked in front of us to put a couple glasses of ice tea on the table, and then, folding back the battered paper of her pad, asked us to give her orders to write down on green and white thick bond. Ed looked at me a bit quizzically. "Chile relleno," I said starkly. More silence for Ed to read the bareprinted words above his finger. "Two enchilada, dos equis," he said, folding the menus into her hands. In her absence of sudden: "So what's new on your end?" I separated the four-ply napkin by twisting a corner with some sweat from my thumb. "Um, not much. Sending in some reviews of the past three months or so in death metal." Took in some ice tea, remembering someone telling me that's it's good for the throat when you do the hoarse distorted shout most of the death vocalists prefer. Ed drank from his as well. "It hasn't been a bad few months, actually. The problem with death metal is the same thing that initially protected it: the extremity of it. When you listen to something where the guy is vomiting on the mike and the music is all extreme, disconnected, nihilistic, everywhere, you're initially pulling back somewhat. That's what most of the world did. But at the same time that began as a mark of death metal's exclusivity, that also became its primary point of recognition, leading to a generation of fans who went for anything that followed some rhythmic and vocal elements, namely percussive and low, respectively." Ed nodded. I didn't sense that he cared any more that day than normal about death metal, but he gets into it sometimes, and besides, I was rolling steady. Also, he had just taken a large mouthful of enchilada and couldn't protest. I love a captive audience. "For a while there, as a result, it was all the same goo, guys meeting those qualifications and adding some gimmick, whether name or appearance. It got pretty gross, and I was about to throw in the towel, but couldn't give up my show, couldn't give up Morbid Angel." Ed knows how much I like Morbid Angel myself and seems to enjoy it thoroughly when I play it in his presence, and has also been a supporter of my show from the beginning. "But two things happened: the fan base got huge, but also spread out the available resources, leaving the smaller labels that signed crap bands heading for financial consumption, and labels began getting choosier. The smarter edge of the fan base got much more careful about what they bought. For a while it looked good again, but soon more of the commercial element came in, with bands like Sepultura and Entombed selling out, and big bands like Cannibal Corpse making it big in the mainstream United States. The only thing that saves us from these people is that their music remains fairly insipid and unsatisfying. Too many fans are buying tons of music, really digging the aesthetic but unable to deal with the simplicity and uninventiveness of the music. A whole lot of them bailed the scene. But at the same time the older bands began to get acquainted with their instruments and starting putting out better metal. And the newer crew looks pretty good. Originally, death was concept music, of brutality and a heaviness nothing else could touch. The philosophy's expanded, and a lot of stuff has come in, but not much from the dangerous side of things, the so-called 'alternative' scene. When bands want to sell out they tell us how they're putting in some 'alternative' influences." I gulped ice tea with an expulsion of air. "But most of the stuff has just gotten more serious on the musical end, which is fine by me. For a while there, it was getting as bad as the punk bands: we play with more 'feel,' etc. I think there's feel in music, but I think that feel comes from the odd collusion of intellect and emotion in a discipline, like making music. It's rock, sure, but it's art too if it's serious. Varathron was the band that first impressed me. It's pure black metal, but the older kind, which is more musical and more like older heavy metal. It's harmonic in nature; they play chords and don't just stream notes at high speed. It still has the death vocals, and uses some modern metal elements, but at heart it's tonal rock, pretty basic but not simple at all. There's a lot of variation in riff structure and in song layout, as well as some interesting experimentation with harmonics, and an ability to harmonize riffs without them sounding cheesy (a lot of this black metal stuff makes me think of giant lumps of Swiss cheese descending on a block of fresh asphalt in a New York summer). This is one of the first black metal releases I've been really enthusiastic about. It's not Scandinavian at all, from Greece actually, but it's well-played, not messy, and comes across as having real thought and intent behind it. They don't try to be scary, but the cheesiness comes in the names: Necroabyssious, Wolfen, Mutilator, and Necroslaughter. Whatever. At least they kept it out of the music." I lifted my glass and got a brief wisp of sip of ice tea, and then felt ice cubes against my upper lip. I put the glass down. "Next thing that I thought was hot shit was Mortuary, from Mexico. Really unique stuff, really powerful and fast, an earlier style of speed metal. I don't think this is new, but I don't know. Got it from J.L. America as they folded into decay. There's an obvious Slayer influence in this stuff, but it doesn't sound like Slayer. Just sometimes a similar way of thinking about things, although the approach ends up different in the end. Playing is pretty competent for underground metal, and the album overall is great. Moves quickly, songs vary, quite a bit of musical experimentation. This is far from the norm and the second release from Mexico to impress me, the first being Cenotaph. Another band that blew me away was Doomstone. I played you Deceased, right? The drummer for that band, King Fowley, started up a side project called Doomstone that recorded this album about a year ago. It's called "Those Whom Satan Hath Joined" or something along those lines. Pretty pro-Satan overall, but I don't think it's serious, that is, it's mainly to have some fun with the lyrics. There's some serious bagging on the black metal people in the liner notes. Fowley's always been a nut, though. Deceased is great stuff that makes its way by being tight and musical, technically challenging while not forgetting the idea of the listener, of making cool music. Half of the problem with death metal comes in that label, technical. For one thing, it doesn't mean jack, since 'technical' means music lessons to most of these people, and since underground metal isn't known for musicality anyway. For another thing, the bands that are spend most of their time trying to prove that they are because they're so used to people considering them inferior players and because, un-amazing as they are, they're better than most of the crowd. A few stand out ahead, starting with Morbid Angel and Atheist, but stuff like Deceased really belongs in the same category, that is, being reasonably competent or better musicality without being braindead. Playing songs to make great songs and to make them artistically challenging, but not just to try to prove that in a pond full of nobodies you're the best- trained nobody. Almost as bad as glam metal in the late eighties, when the guitar solos started getting long. But Doomstone is 'technical,' if we have to use that term, getting most of its influences from older metal while bringing a new style of noise- and atonality-influenced music into the mezcla. The end result is great. You can't really sing along, but the songs move, each is distinctive, and the whole album doesn't have a bad track. There's a Grim Reaper cover on here, but I never knew that band anyway. A lot of goofy references to cheesy movies about the occult, including one tune called "Rosemary's Baby." I have no idea who the other band members are, but they all have stupid names like "Urinator of the Holy Graveyards." I like this one a lot but most people have no clue it exists. Some of the stuff from the Midwest just blows me away. I heard about their scene a year or two ago when stuff like Accidental Suicide, Morgue, and Afterlife was coming out, all of it pretty musically interesting and technically evolved. The new stuff takes this further, with more technical detail (nothing amazing, but impressive for underground) and power coming in, and more advanced song structures. Lyrics have gotten away from the once-dominant American ideal of proving something, whether anger or sickness, in the lyrics. They're demented in their own right, but with a self-aware humor that's refreshing. The main act leading this scene is Oppressor, whose demo I really liked when I received it about a year ago, for my show. The power of this music isn't whatever technical standards it hails to, but the ability to integrate disparate elements into a working and interesting format. There's heaviness in here to compare with the most extreme American acts, but there's also cool musical workings and internal structures that support themselves well, producing an aesthetic of complexity with a percussive speed grind that smears you against a wall if you catch it at volume. Gutted impress me as much but in an entirely different vector. The obvious technicality of Oppressor isn't here; this is a straight-up rock format with stuff well-encoded into it. This isn't even death metal, but speed metal with a death voice. The songs aren't as catchy as the more mainstream stuff, but they have a grasping appeal that's not so much easily understandable as reflective of coherent assembly. Some stuff makes your ear listen, but this stuff gets you involved and then takes you with it. There's heaviness to spare here, and some goofiness in the lyrics, with songs such as "Kickin' the Corpse" leaving me to laugh. But it's self-aware, and not stupid, so I have no complaints. This is one of my favorites of the year. Not from the midwest but from Florida come two of my other finds. Neither are that new, or new at all, in the case of Ripping Corpse, who are one of the few metal bands who could legitimately wear the label progressive - interesting musical ideas expanded interestingly, not necessarily as intricate in their song structure as most bands but exceptionally coherent, in that songs are completed works and not streams of riffs. Lead guitar is not often this well done; for pure musicality this is one of my favorite works. Resurrection have a similar approach, taking Florida metal and making it technically-challenging, rather than just adding technicalities. The songs work and are enjoyable on several levels, leaving the technical work to be assumed and not be the focus of the entire album. The only band even close to this is Monstrosity. Both of these albums, Ripping Corpse's "In the Forest of the Dreaming Dead" and Resurrection's "Embalmed Existence," are first-class death metal. The former is probably out of print, Kraze records being defunct in a serious manner. From Britain come Malediction, one of the few death metal bands to legitimately remind me of Morbid Angel, and not through aping, as their sound is far from the atonal masterpieces of Azagthoth. Malediction play intense, not necessarily super- technically powered, but well-assembled and intriguing death metal. The album I have is a live EP, "Chronicles of Dissension," which is exceptionally well-produced for a live album, with the only clues to it being live being the pauses before each song where a drunken British voice talks. The music is fast, but slows when strategically necessary; it has a voice that encompasses the song, and doesn't restrict itself to occasional exposure during a riff or a solo. There is a full-length album that I don't have, but if it's of the same caliber of this material, it should be incredible. This is the only British band that's really brought my respect since Carcass or Repulsion (not forgetting the classic gods Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, but gods of a previous era, although timeless in their musical vision). Sweden has for the last few generations of death metal bands lead with innovative and potent metal. Seance and Fleshcrawl have released the best albums in recent memory from that area, with the notable exception of Therion, who, although technically brilliant and musically exceptional are nowhere in the same league of heaviness: both of these bands deliver impact power and suffusing brutality. Seance produced a guttural, mechanical and distorted masterpiece in "Saltrubbed Eyes," in which they learned to drop the many dissonant riffs approach of their first album in favor of a cohesive approach to song structures which emphasizes bringing out what is put into the song, instead of stringing it in linearly. On their first release they reminded me of a Swedish Malevolent Creation, but here the sound is much more Seance's own. The final track, an instrumental, gets special mention. The primary work here is the guitar tracks, which are experimental for death metal, especially eurometal. There's a lot of work with shorter but more definite riffs, and some experimentation in the noise of the lead guitars, which seem competent although they often choose to be content with half-noise solos. Smearing notes and all of that work. The distortion on this album is grating to a maximum, a new height of abrasiveness in guitar. This is one of my current favorites from Sweden. Fleshcrawl have always impressed me, but "Impurity" outdoes itself. Where their first was slow this has achieved a balance, realizing an aptitude for tempos in different components of the songs. Song structures are spread out and varied, although they don't seek to emphasize these varieties but an overall impression. There is a track from Finnish gods Demigod (Slumber of Sullen Eyes, their one album, is one of my favorites from Scandinavia: heavy but harmonic stuff, a unique sound that builds itself from out of the songs, instead of carping songs to follow an aesthetic) covered on this album, but more innarestin' in the track which isn't a cover, Inevitable End, which seems to be right out of the book of Bolt Thrower, albeit speeded up. The remaining songs are heavy and satisfying, excepting an instrumental by Dan Swano of Edge of Sanity. You can't sing along but who needs to? this is the descending blade of heavy metal that's not afraid to be technically competent, compositionally intriguing, or image deficient - it's the hardline straight up with no gimmick, and consequently both of these albums seem to be overlooked in the United States. (Possibly in favor of Entombed's terrible "Wolverine Blues," which would be a travesty of the first order.)" Ed put down his empty glass, and flipped two fingers toward his palm to gesture for more. With it came our food. I dug in, heavily, starving and aggressive. Ed ate more carefully but with equal rapidity. Surprisingly, he wasn't intimidated by my spew about a genre he could care less about, but was sort of interested. Through the corner of a mouth: "So things are looking up except for the sellouts? I remember you ranting about that some time ago, that and Christian metal" (Christian metal being my favorite oxymoron to pick on, as metal is beyond Christianity and really should have nothing to do with it - not saying, however, as every Christian misinterprets this argument, that it needs to go running to Papa Satan - it just was founded and designed outside of Christianity and doesn't work with it) " - are there more of those?" I poked more chile relleno into my mouth. "Well," chewing, "I think more are coming, as it gets easier to throw a little Alice in Chains into your music. And that's the band they'll all ape, that or Helmet, maybe. Alice is easy because it's one of the heavier bands in the so-called 'alternative' range, and because with the complexity of that sound, a band can work a lot in without being seen as what they'd otherwise be: a metal band suddenly going heavy bluesrock on us. Plus, they share a lot of roots, Alice in Chains and death metal; those people heard Black Sabbath and Motorhead, too. Entombed tried the Alice in Chains thing with Wolverine, and it sucked, but it wasn't a bad shot for a first, from the eyes of the mainstream, who seem to buy suck music any chance they can get. It's a safe sound to assume. I haven't seen too much of that lately. But I've been staying far away. It's amazing how sometimes the most obscure stuff is the best. You'd think more people would catch on, but it doesn't seem so - take Obliveon as a case in point. If you can get past the dumb name, this is spectacular progressive death metal from Canada. For once the bass is used as a lead instrument in metal without becoming cheesy - it makes its presence felt, but without being either a leading pop element or an attachment for the sake of additional hooks. Integrated structurally, the bass-guitar interaction of this band is incredible, nailed to a precision drum track to make this a tight setup, with incredibly players lending to the tightness with the right-on instrumentation that any fan of speed metal would love. But this is death metal, albeit a very unique interpretation of the genre musically. It's not particularly heavy in the original sense, but cool - in the way that a jazz or progressive band would be. But it's heavy, and it's amazing, and not effete like "progressive metal" acts like Dream Theatre. It stays true to the core of metal. More obscurity in the form of Alastis, one of the few "doom metal" bands worthy of the title. There is real musicality to this, good tempo variation, impressive drumming and cool riffs to package a slowing majesty of falling darkness. Vocals are a subdued version of the death/black metal voice, and fit well into this music, which has elements of both the modern and the older styles of metal. Impressive at the least. With an entirely different sound but a musically impressive output is Demilich, who are Finns playing harmonically-intricate death metal; it reminds me of the sounds of a funk band without the annoying elements in the way Demilich slide and cycle through the castles of tones they build on "Nespithe." It's not musicianship showing off, either, but a unique look at metal with a real experimental eye to it. This is one of my favorite releases of this year. But the core of metal remains the heaviness, and the emphasis that places through its rhythm and timbre. Loudblast fulfill this with the musicality quotient that any lover of the above will enjoy. Heavy, with real death and speed metal elements demonstrating the band's superb songwriting. Not superb judgement: this album has a fourth track of some of the most annoying female vocals ever to hit vinyl. But the music is outstanding. Another harder to find but brilliant band is Goreaphobia, who despite the stupid name create impressive death metal, with intense variation and a preservation of well-conceptualized mood and vision pervading throughout all three tracks on this album, "Omen of Masochism" (one of the nicely cheap Relapse underground releases). The cover illustration is a bit annoying (half-clothed woman consorting with devil) but the music is phenomenal, and heavy, having a lot of the better elements of death and grindcore musically while remaining so. A good sense of energy to this as well. Stupidity has always been a part of metal, and the silliness continues. Demented Ted caught my ear despite misgivings about the stupid name; this is good stuff, solidly heavy and technically intricate, although not as progressive and experimental as it could be musically. That would be the greatest failing of this album, but it survives it as good speed/death metal. The greatest area of foolishness, while we're on the topic, would have to be black metal, and one of my current favorites, Sacramentum, is a proud member of that arena. Yet it's phenomenal music, with a good melodic sense (this is modern black metal in its stream of notes incarnation) and a more conventional than usual adherence to sound, although without being cliche or uninventive. Highly recommended to black metal fans. Actually," I said, wiping my upper lip on disposable napkin, "all of this stuff is, and I'd have trouble deciding what to leave behind, but that's just because this is what I've found after listening to tons and tons of this stuff. We're not out of the deep water yet. There's a lot of crappy metal out there, as there always will be. But I think a lot of the stuff I see coming up is great, especially as bands learn that learning instrumentalism doesn't mean they've sold out, or that they suck. The greatest underground today is in the growing category of progressive or near-progressive metal, as it's too out there for most of the mainstream death metal fans and too musically subversive to ignore." Ed wiped his mouth on a similar napkin. The sun had set and the air hung almost liquid in through the cold glass. The stillness of daysend and the fullness of our stomachs slowed our thoughts, but soon we paid, and left to wander between pedestrian and building alike, stretching our thoughts through the networks of modern life without particularly attaching to anything.

I had a great lunch today even if it did kind of fall apart on me. :O
I made a Chicken Salad Pita which consisted of
- ½ chicken breast
- 2 tbsp NF Plain Yogurt
- 1 tbsp Honey Mustard
- ½ Chicken Breast
- Minced Garlic
- Onion
- Okra (can you tell I have A LOT of okra and am trying to put it in every dish I make?)
- Shredded Summer Squash
- Tomato
- Apple
- 1 Pita
This was the last pita of my stash and I think it might have been on its last day. It refused to open for me and ultimately just fell apart when I tried stuffing it. I then just topped all of the yummy filling on top of it instead. It worked and was still good J
On the side I had the rest of the apple I had cut for the salad and a small handful of almonds.
This was a very filling lunch and my stomach and taste buds are thanking me profusely for the meal.
To hold me over til lunch, around 10:00 this morning I snacked on a mini Pecan Pie Larabar.
I definitely think all the Larabars with a nut in the title are my favorites. J
Well, that was a short and sweet entry! Time to get back to work!

According to a recent survey by Lifeway Research, most Protestant pastors in the United States realize the Bible and evolution don't mix. Three out of four pastors (73%) disagreed with the statement that God used evolution to create humans. Similarly, three-fourths believe in a real Adam and Eve.
But the other results are mixed. In particular, only 30% of the pastors "strongly agreed" that the Bible teaches a young earth (that is, around 6,000 years old). Slightly more "strongly disagreed" with a young earth. Those with a graduate degree were even more likely to reject a young earth and a real Adam (a possible consequence of the bias against the Bible's inerrancy in many seminaries). On the other hand, younger pastors (18–44) were more likely to accept that the Bible teaches a young earth.
While we should celebrate a majority of these pastors rejecting evolution, the survey reveals some troubling trends.
While we should celebrate a majority of these pastors rejecting evolution, the survey reveals some troubling trends. In particular, many of these pastors seem not to realize the connection between evolution and the age of the earth. Most understand that biological evolution is based on faulty assumptions about the past and is incompatible with Genesis. But they don't see the same underlying assumptions about the earth's supposed history over billions of years—an idea that depends upon flawed interpretations of rock layers, radiometric dating, and fossils.
In fact, many of these pastors seem hesitant to engage what the Bible teaches in the first few chapters of Genesis. Only about a third teach on creation and evolution more than once per year—37% do so rarely or not at all. Given that only about 40% of Americans believe God created humans in their present form only a few thousand years ago, silence on the matter no doubt only worsens the widespread confusion. (See two recent books Already Gone and Already Compromised, published by Master Books.)
With the rise of belligerent "New Atheists" and the growing influence of Christian organizations that teach theistic ("God-directed") evolution, pew sitters need to hear a clear, consistent message about the Bible's teaching. The average Christian is bombarded with muddled messages about "evolution as fact" and how it is supposedly a "friend" of Scripture.
If pastors don't speak up—or if they simply accept evolution or an ancient earth—they're relinquishing their duty to declare the whole counsel of God, including creation (Acts 20:27). According to apologetics expert Ken Ham, that attitude is the church's biggest problem: "When Christians agree with the world that man's fallible ideas about the age of the earth and evolution should be used to interpret God's Word, they must also agree that the Bible can't be trusted."

It's been a banner year for soccer in the United States, where record numbers of viewers watched the U.S. escape from the Group of Death and into the knockout rounds of the World Cup.
But even before national pride took center stage in the sport's premier event, Hall County soccer fans were already being treated to a historic year on the high school level.
No team in the area enjoyed more success than the Johnson High boys, who reached the state championship game for the first time in program history and finished with a 21-2 record.
"I think in Hall County (soccer has) grown a little faster because of our population," Johnson athletic director Matt Stowers said. "That's part of who we are now. My history is I've coached football, baseball, wrestling, but I've never really had much to do with soccer other than watching some games here or there.
"But, when you watch really good soccer, it's pretty exciting. I had the opportunity this year to watch a lot of really good soccer both with our boys and our girls. I think that generates excitement, when people see that success."
The Knights' state runner-up finish capped a solid year of sports at Johnson that also included strong runs by the girls soccer team and boys basketball team.
The Times sports editor Jared Putnam sat down with Stowers to discuss the Knights' historic soccer season and his thoughts on continuing a non-region football schedule, as part of a series of question-and-answer sessions with area athletic directors.
What stood out to you about Johnson athletics last season? Boys soccer obviously had a tremendous run.
"It was exciting to go through the whole trip to the state championship game with soccer. It's a great group of boys. Coach Shirley has developed a good program, and every year they're pretty successful.
"Same thing with the girls. But we've had a pretty good bit of success in other areas, too, cross country, wrestling, boys basketball and had a couple other kids place in track. It's been an exciting year. This being my first year both as athletic director and at Johnson High School, it was very beneficial."
Region 8-AAAA looks to be a lot more challenging this year with Buford, White County, North Hall and North Oconee all moving in.
"It does pose new challenges, which is not always bad. We're going to be competitive at whatever we're trying to do. Soccer, basketball, baseball, wrestling are all going to have new challenges, but our goal is ultimately to be competitive in everything we do. It's going to be interesting to mix it up with some new schools and see some new faces."
Was it a relatively easy decision to retain a non-region football schedule once everyone learned that Buford, White County, North Hall and North Oconee — all playoff teams last year — were going to be joining the region?
"Selfishly, no, it wasn't an easy decision. We want to step up and compete with anybody at any day, but the big picture of things is that we're still building a program. We're building something special at this place. As far as football goes, we didn't want to damage the direction ... we're headed into. Coach Roquemore is taking that program to a great place.
"Sure, as far as the decision, (realignment) weighed in there, I'd be lying if I said it didn't — who we would have to face and who we would play. Would we have liked to have gotten back in there to a region (schedule)?
Absolutely, but it wasn't time. Hopefully in two more years we'll reevaluate and it'll be time then."
Does Johnson have one particular rival? You seemed to have a few really good rivalry games last year.
"The Battle of Oakwood (the Johnson vs. West Hall football game), that's a crazy atmosphere. It's a great atmosphere for our kids and for the West Hall kids to experience. I've been in Hall County basically all my life, and some of the biggest rivalries, I guess you could say, or biggest games, were against other Hall County schools.
Whether it be North Hall-Gainesville or North Hall-East Hall or Johnson-West Hall, Chestatee-Flowery Branch, I think it kind of differs from time to time depending on where there's (the most) success going on.
"Soccer, it was crazy this year, that boys and girls soccer game when we played Gainesville, it was pouring (rain). Literally, the field was flooded, but the stands were full because of two successful programs.
"Basketball, the same thing, we had great crowds every night because people supported what our boys were doing. We do look forward to playing a West Hall because we're so near it in proximity and so many of those kids go to church together or hang out together.
What would you say is the biggest challenge for Johnson High in particular or high school athletics in general?
"A lot of times, and I read this in the article you did with Ethan (Banks) at West Hall, the challenge with athletics is that we hear a lot more about the negative. The kids that get injured or have concussions or have an accident, but we seldom hear about the little things. There's so much that goes on in the interaction between a coach and his players or her players. We have coaches here that go above and beyond the call of duty.
"I think the challenge that we as athletic programs face is the fact that there are a lot of demands placed on coaches and their families. They sacrifice a lot for their kids — not just their family, but for the kids they coach in school. "And, always, finances are a big challenge.
The more you win games, the more tickets you sell and the more revenue you generate, the more you're able to invest back into your programs and your kids as well. Our coaches do a great job fundraising and the community is unbelievable in supporting us. There are a lot of deep-rooted Johnson High School people that bleed that navy and Columbia blue, and they help us tremendously.
"The biggest challenge, as a whole, is people realizing what coaches do. It's more than a Friday night. They do a lot more, and I think if people realized more what they do, there would be a lot more support in many different areas."
Does it seem like, as time goes on, fans become less and less forgiving of coaches for not winning fast enough? Has it just become a case where, if a coach isn't winning almost immediately, a lot of fans are done with them right away?
"I haven't experienced that here, our community is very supportive, but I have seen that. Not so much at the high school ranks, but more so at the college ranks. You hear, though, more at the big programs in South Georgia or Gwinnett County where it's 'win, or go find somewhere else to coach.' I guess fans have the right to voice that opinion.
They buy the ticket, they follow, but I don't see that happening around, anywhere in Hall County.
"It's a great place to live, great place to raise your family. That happens, but not so much around here.
What would you like to see Johnson athletics accomplish going forward?
"Winning is always fun and everyone wants to win. I'm no different, our coaches are no different. But the greatest area we want to win is at life. I want our kids, when they graduate from Johnson High School, to walk out and say, 'I was proud to be a Knight,' whether it was the kid that doesn't participate in any sport or they participate in three sports."
"We have a creed at Johnson, it's over the door and on banners and things. It has four tenets: honesty, responsibility, respect and service. If we can get our kids to believe in those and instill those core values into them, they're going to be successful out there, and that's really what it's all about.
"I've got kids that I coached 10 years ago that still text me or meet for breakfast. Those are the valuable things that are intangible. That's my vision, that's my goal, to send kids out into the real world prepared."

For Display Purposes Only
Space & Installation
April 6-10, 2015
Olive Tjaden Experimental Gallery
Presented by Andrew Fu (B.Arch '15) and Michelle Chen (B.F.A. '13), "For Display Purposes Only" is a series of hybrid food-objects that investigate the underlying social, cultural, and economic narratives embedded within the square watermelon. Originating from a small island on the Southern tip of Japan, the square watermelon was initially conceived of as a space-saving solution. In a country where real estate (especially fridge real estate) was scarce the watermelon offered a form that could more efficiently occupy space. The cube, compared to its more curvaceous cousin the ellipsoid, is much better suited for living inside.

There will be a few recognizable names for Oklahoma City but for the most part, they'll be bunch of players just trying to get action and noticed by other NBA teams. There are some previous players who've gone on to big things with other NBA teams such as Dwight Buycks and Garrett Temple.
Oklahoma City will play three games in Vegas, here they are:
|Friday, July 6
|vs. Charlotte
|4:30 p.m. (ESPNU)
|Thomas & Mack Center
|Saturday, July 7
|vs. Brooklyn
|6 p.m. (NBATV)
|T-Mobile Arena
|Monday, July 9
|vs. Toronto
|2:30 p.m. (NBA TV)
|Thomas & Mack Center
Terrance Ferguson
T-Ferg started a handful of games and was the 21st pick overall last season. He didn't play in last year's summer league due to FIBA clearance and he hadn't agreed to a contract because of the clearance. Ferguson averaged 3.1 points on 41.4 percent shooting in 61 games. He stated 12 games as well. He averaged 14.7 points on 47.2 percent shooting in 3 G League games last season.
Dakari Johnson
Dakari was a surprising signing last season. Not even a two-way deal, it was a full on contract. He performed admirably in back up duty and even started a couple of games with Steven Adams out. However, the big man out of Kentucky is still a step too slow and looks overweight. It's unknown if he'll stick in this league but at least he has his shot.
Daniel Hamilton
Hamilton, the G League triple-double machine, gets his shot with the Summer League team again. He starred in Orlando last season Hea veraged 11.7 points, 6.8 assists and 5.3 rebounds in only 30 minutes per game in the summer league. For the Thunder last season, Hamilton appeared in six games, averaging less than five minutes and averaging only 2.0 points per game.
PJ Dozier
The other two-way contract, Dozier was a surprise pick up by the Thunder. Out of South Carolina, Dozier played well in the G League. He appeared in He played for the Lakers in Summer League last year, only scoring two points in two games. In Thunder games, Dozier appeared in two games. He averaged a point on 50 percent shooting. So, two shots and he hit one. There we go. As for the G League, Dozier averaged 13 points on 47 percent shooting in 38 starts.
Devon Hall
Oklahoma City's first pick in the second round. The kid out of Virginia was highly praised at the NBA Draft Combine. It's unknown what he can do offensively as he played in an offense that was super limited and they primarily stuck to defense. The defense is nice but if he can duplicate that 42 percent three-point shooting at the NBA level, Hall will become the steal of the draft.
Kevin Hervey
Hervey might've blown out both ACLs but he can still ball. During his senior year at UT-Arlington, Hervey averaged 20.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game last season, while shooting 33.9 percent from three-point range last season. That 33.9 percent was up from 28 percent. He continued to get better with the long ball. He was a first round talent before blowing his ACLs. Can he stay healthy? His pick at 57th overall was an easy low risk high reward pick for Oklahoma City.
Deonte Burton
Burton is no real stranger to Oklahoma City. Sort of. He starred at Iowa State. However, not catching on in the NBA, Burton went over to the Korean Basketball League. He averaged 24 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists as he was named the MVP last season. During his senior year at Iowa State, Burton averaged 15.0 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. The 6-5 guard shot over 40 percent his senior year at Iowa State.
Awudu Abass
You may have not heard of Abass. He played last season for Olimpia Milano in Italy. He's never had a real shot at the NBA Dream but he really hasn't done anything to really wow you in Italy, stats wise. He averaged only 2.8 points in 11.8 minutes per game. He appeared in 45 games for Olimpia Milano throughout all levels of play last season.
Rashawn Thomas
Thomas is a big man out of Southeast High in Oklahoma City. He played with Team USA last season as they had some friendly games on the West coast and he was a large reason why the Oklahoma City Blue would go on and win the Midwest Conference. Thomas averaged 13.9 points and 7.2 rebounds in 46 games for the Oklahoma City Blue, including 35 starts. He played in five games for the Thunder in last year's summer league, averaging 4.8 points on 45.5 percent shooting in five games.
Michael Carrera
He's a South Carolina player, much like PJ Dozier. They both were on the team during their run to the Elite 8. He played for the Blue last season and did okay. He averaged 7.0 points per game in 11 games. Before that, he played in Russia, which is pretty gnarly. He's no stranger to summer league as he played the Miami HEAT last year in Orlando and Vegas.
Justin Leon
Leon is a feisty guard out of Florida. He's doesn't seem 6-8 but he definitely plays like it. He played with the Oklahoma City Blue last season He averaged 7.0 points per game in 11 games. Before that, he played in Russia, which is pretty gnarly. He's no stranger to summer league as he played the Miami HEAT last year in Orlando and Vegas.
Phil Pressey
Pressey was actually an NBA Player at one point! He's played almost 150 games with four teams. He even started 11 games as an undrafted rookie in Boston! He's not a stranger to the Summer league as he's played with Boston and Detroit in the Orlando Summer leagues. Last season, Pressey spent training camp with the Golden State Warriors and then with their G League affiliate, Santa Cruz, during the season. Before the NBA, Pressey played at Missouri for three seasons.
Richard Solomon
Solomon used to be a member of the Oklahoma City Blue a few years ago before going overseas. Solomon's current team is Uşak Sportif, a Turkish club. After leaving the Blue, Solomon played in Tokyo and in France. He spent the training camp in 2014 with the Thunder before being cut. That's when he went to the Blue, their first season in Oklahoma City. Last season for Usak Sportlif, Solomon appeared in 19 games, and averaged 10 points per game on 59 percent shooting.
Hamidou Diallo
The surprise of the draft, taken 45th overall by Charlotte from the pick they received from Brooklyn. I know, it's confusing. However, what's confusing is Diallo's availability for Summer league. Diallo might be available for Summer League. The trade in which Diallo was acquired cannot be completed until July 6. So, if we see him, it'll be the later games. If we see him at all. He's athletic and can score in bunches. It just is unclear if we'll see him.

Worship with the Word-Teaching the Nations with Song
For five two-hour sets a week, I sing with my worship team leading worship and prayer. Two of the sets I do are called Worship with the Word. Paul commanded the Colossians,
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
We are doing what Paul commanded teaching the Word in song admonishing both the one hundred or so in Kansas City and thousands all over the world watching online. We sing either through a Psalm, Hymn of Revelation, or other Bible passage.
Personally, it is one of the most refreshing times of my week. We have been singing passages from Song of Songs. Though Song of Songs is a natural love story about the glory of married love, it is also allegorically about Jesus' love for His bride, the church. It has been so edifying to my heart to sing about Jesus' love for me and about the process of me maturing in love for Him.
Enjoy our teaching in song from our Worship with the Word sets Monday and Friday mornings at 2am on our 24/7 webstream and archive. If you don't want to wake up at 2 am click on "Archives" and then to find my sets simply search for my worship leaders' names: Brandon Lautzenheiser or Alisha Powell.
Intercession-Leading the Nations in Prayer
The other three sets I sing are intercession sets. Sunday mornings at 4am we focus on praying for pastors and church leaders as they prepare for their services. On Tuesday mornings at 12 am we pray for the salvation of Israel. On Saturday mornings at 12 am we pray for the persecuted church especially North Korea and China.
A prayer usually begins, first, with the intercessor praying a passage from the Bible. Then, they focus on a specific phrase. Then, that's where we come in! We sing from what they prayed about and eventually make up a spontaneous chorus from the prayer so that the entire prayer room can agree together. It's kind of hard to explain and better shown, however. So, tune in to our webstream!

CapitalAccount — Bank of England Governor Paul Tucker faced UK lawmakers over the Barclays LIBOR scandal today. He said that the memo documenting his 2008 phone call to Barclays' CEO about the manipulation of Libor was misunderstood. Meanwhile, rumors circulate that the Barclays board may be trying to separate bank's investment-banking business. The Sunday Times reported the story, but it has been refuted in other press reports, too. Simon Mikhailovich, Co-Managing Member, Eidesis Capital, talks to us about the role derivatives play in the LIBOR scandal and in enabling bad decisions at systemically dangerous banks.
Meanwhile, Spanish yields rose above 7% today, a critical level deemed unsustainable. As eurozone finance ministers meet again, investors continue to display skepticism that the EU can solve this crisis. Is this because the financial system today is a "faith-based initiative"? Simon Mikhailovich will explain what happens once faith is lost.
And, if you think of the 'too big to fail' banks as a cartel, you may be interested to hear about the actual criminal drug-trafficking cartel Bank of America has gotten mixed up with, as alleged by the FBI.
Our guest, investor Simon Mikhailovich lays out how his view of why derivatives have been "disruptive technologies", fertilizing leverage and risk in the financial system and a web among banks that can't be undone without immense pain. We discuss these disruptive technologies and their role in allowing the expansion of too much debt that can never be repaid, which could come to roost now in the EU sovereign debt crisis. Mikhailovich breaks down how credit default swaps have been used by banks to hide risk and expand leverage in a way that makes bailouts needed to keep it going (b/c if one bank goes down they can all go down due to counterparty risk). We talk about the lack of reserves and the risk present even in "risk free" money market funds (a $2.5 trillion industry in the US). Our guest breaks down the ways in which he believes the financial system is now a rigged game based on too much debt with manipulated price signals, the Barclays LIBOR scandal being the latest evidence. He discusses the financial system as a "faith-based initiative," which works as long as people believe in it but as soon as they don't, is pandemonium. He lays out his thesis for investing in assets outside of the financial system, physical gold being the main one.

Juvenile Rehabilitation & Counseling
Although incarceration is a possibility as a penalty for various juvenile offenses, the court can impose alternatives to detention, which include substance abuse centers or other counseling programs. These alternative programs are geared toward rehabilitation, and with an experienced juvenile defense attorney, your child can avoid a sentence at a juvenile detention facility. The lawyers at the Law Offices of John F. Marshall are prepared to present the best defense for your juvenile and to avoid any sentence of incarceration. Our attorneys understand you and your child's concerns and will work with the prosecutors and the Juvenile Court in order to obtain an alternative to detention for your juvenile. Call our office immediately if your child is charged with a juvenile offense that could impose a sentence of incarceration.
Substance Abuse
If your child has been charged with drug or alcohol offense, he or she may be suffering from a substance abuse problem. Hence, it is important to acknowledge the ways that you can help your child battle his or her problem, including rehabilitation centers, outpatient therapy, and family and/or addict support groups. Additionally, an alternative to incarceration can be imposed in Juvenile Court if the juvenile is adjudicated delinquent for a drug and/or alcohol charge. An increasing number of teenagers are becoming addicted to prescription pills, marijuana, cocaine, alcohol, and a variety of other illegal substances. Substance abuse can seriously affect the dynamic of entire family as it could impose an emotional and financial burden on every family member. For these reasons, it is important to address these issues early for your child. If you think your juvenile may be developing a substance abuse problem, or you think that your child already is battling with an addiction, you should contact the following facilities which could be of great assistance to you and your child:
- Riverview Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program Addiction Recovery Services……………………………………………………………732-345-3400
- New Hope Foundation
- (Marlboro inpatient facility)………………732-946-3030

Alcoholism and Drug Abuse……………………………800-245-1377
It is important to address problems with substance abuse early for youngsters struggling with this problem, and there are community resources right at your fingertips. If your child is struggling with a substance abuse problem, or you believe he or she is in danger of developing one, it is crucial to seek help immediately. A juvenile who suffers from an addiction is likely to be charged with a variety of offenses, which could adversely affect his or her future. If your child has an addiction and is charged with a related offense, the attorneys at the Law Offices of John F. Marshall are fully prepared to provide an aggressive defense while understanding the emotional and psychological needs of your child and your family. Please do not hesitate to call our office for a free consultation 1-877-450-8301.
Behavioral/Emotional Disorders
A juvenile who is charged with an offense may suffer from an untreated behavioral or emotional issue. A youngster could be seriously affected by a mental health condition, and the condition can likely contribute to habitual delinquent behavior. It is estimated that about one in five juveniles suffer from a mental health disorder, and many often go without seeking any professional help. Often times, juveniles do not recognize that they are suffering from a mental, emotional or behavioral health problem, so it is important to be aware of your child's behavior and to seek treatment if it seems to be a serious problem or disrupting you or your child's life. Juveniles who suffer from these types of disorders exhibit typical behavior such as frequent arguments with family members or friends, disciplinary actions at school, difficulty paying attention or focusing, frequent irritable moods, trouble sleeping, and difficulty dealing with anger. Common conditions, which affect juveniles, include the following: anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, conduct disorders, Attention Deficit Disorder, Hyperactive Disorder, or learning disorders. If you suspect your child may suffer from a mental, behavioral or emotional disorder, the following resources can be very helpful to you and your family:

Diocese of Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Holy Church in Georgia
Press release / 24 January 2013

Many times Chakhalyan was on the verge of death, but remained firm, and fought for the right to live and for ideas that were left unfinished. Bishop Mirzakhanyan appreciated the fact that not only in Samtskhe-Javakheti region, in Georgia and Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, but the whole Armenian Diaspora fought for Vahagn Chakhalyan, considering him a spiritual martyr who suffered for the truth.

COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation.
COVID-19 public health info from US CDC | COVID-19 research info from the US NIH | COVID-19 resources for global health researchers
Two decades ago, research in China demonstrated that folate supplementation in pregnant women could reduce incidence of birth defects. Research conducted in China recently found that it can also reduce the risk of stroke in people with high blood pressure. Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, which is the leading cause of death in China and the second leading cause of death worldwide.
Scientists studied more than 20,000 men and women with high blood pressure who had never had a stroke or heart attack. Participants who took folic acid along with a blood pressure drug were less likely to have a stroke than people who took the drug alone. The combination reduced the risk of having a first stroke by 21 percent. The folic acid therapy provided the most benefit for people who had the lowest levels of folate in their blood at the start of the trial.
Folic acid is the synthetic form of the B vitamin folate, which is found in green leafy vegetables and in many fruits, beans and nuts. Some countries, including the U.S., require that grains be fortified with folic acid. Past studies have found folic acid supplements had little effect on cardiovascular disease but the China trial was conducted in a part of the world where folate levels are low.
The findings were published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and could have "important implications for stroke prevention worldwide," according to Drs. Meir Stampfer and Walter Willett of Harvard University, in an accompanying editorial. They noted large segments of the world's population, including people in northern China, Bangladesh and Scandinavia, have low levels of folate. Some U.S. residents also fall into that category.
Previously, Chinese scientists collaborated with the U.S. CDC to examine the benefits of folic acid consumption before and during pregnancy, concluding that the supplement significantly reduced the risk for neural tube defects in infants.

Tara draws her inspiration from the simple bold geometry of antique quilts, the gorgeous bright colors from textiles around the world, and the freedom and spontaneity found in unconventional and improvisationally pieced quilts. When she looks at her current work, she sees all three of these aspects represented. She uses simple geometry, complex color interaction, and strives to find the line that exists somewhere between harmony and discord.
