Program Overview
Take a road trip to explore the gems of the west from the stunning peaks and plains of the Rockies in Wyoming and Montana, to the diverse rainforests and waters of the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii. Our Northwest Gap Semester program builds upon our 38 year history of running programs right here in the United States, and provides access to experiences and partnerships seldom accessed by the average traveler. Hiking through Grand Teton National Park and taking a quick plunge in a turquoise alpine lake, we explore some of the most pristine wilderness of the west. Partnering with local conservationists in Yellowstone National Park, we understand the current threats to native wolf and grizzly bear populations. Getting our hands dirty and learning some of the basics of construction, we help provide an essential home for a family in need. Sleeping under the stars on a sailboat cruising through the San Juan Islands, we learn about marine ecosystems and life on (and under) the water. Trekking through the pristine wilderness of the Big Island of Hawaii, we fall asleep to the sound of waves meeting the sand and soak up the towering peaks and valleys of this unique volcanic landscape. The newfound insights gained from this in-depth look at some of the most famous landmarks of the American West leave our perspectives and appreciation for our own backyard changed forever.

Program Details
Welcome to Wyoming & Grand Teton National Park
Leaving home behind, we meet our group at the Salt Lake City airport and prepare for our upcoming adventures. After an orientation in the Salt Lake City area, we load up into our 15-passenger van and trailer, our home for the coming weeks, and set out on the open road bound for the Wyoming wilderness. Setting up camp in the shadows of the Grand Tetons, we explore the picturesque mountain town of Jackson Hole, famed for its wildlife, outdoor adventures, and close proximity to our next destination: Yellowstone National Park. We hit the trails exploring the turquoise alpine lakes and beautiful valleys of the region, all while coming together as a traveling group. We map out our itinerary setting both individual and group goals for the duration of the program. We introduce our curriculum and brainstorm ideas for our individual Capstone Passion Projects, identifying points in the semester where each of our five global themes will be present.
Grizzly Bear & Wolf Conservation in Yellowstone National Park
Continuing across the border into Montana, we begin our first hands-on project of the semester in the stunning Yellowstone National Park. Working with a local nonprofit organization based in the park, we begin our course learning more about the history of Yellowstone, the protection of public lands, and conservation issues the area faces. We then dive into our animal conservation projects focusing on wolves and grizzlies, two enchanting and majestic creatures that reside in the region. For our wolf recovery project, we take time tracking local wolf packs with our skilled rangers and observing their territories, behaviors, and studying abandoned wolf dens. We take a further deep dive into grizzly conservation in the National Park, shadowing specialists and interviewing rangers about threats to grizzlies. Before departing the park, we take time to explore the famous sights, hiking the trails, observing packs of grazing bison, and making sure to stop at the famous Old Faithful geyser.
Wilderness First Responder Certification in Big Sky Country
In preparation for our upcoming time in the wilderness (and for the rest of our lives recreating in the great outdoors), we dive into our eight day Wilderness First Responder certification course. Setting up a base camp in the beautiful mountains of Montana, we work closely with our instructor to learn various wilderness rescue, medicine, and ethics for spending time in the outdoors. This certification is an industry standard for many experiential education professionals, and as a group, we walk away with the ability to respond to emergencies in the wilderness, practical first aid skills, and the knowledge to make important evacuation decisions.
Community Construction Project & Native Population Study
Heading west through the state of Idaho, we make our way across the border to the Colville Native American Reservation in northeastern Washington. Here, we participate in a construction project for a family in need, getting our hands dirty learning about sustainable building techniques while providing an essential service. Here we immerse ourselves in the local culture that surrounds us, appreciating the diversity of people, beliefs, and cultures that exist here in the United States.
Student Planned Module
After a meaningful construction experience, we dive into our Student Planned Module. This section is completely planned, organized, budgeted, and implemented by the students. We can't wait to see what the group will do!
Immigration & Refugee Study
After soaking up our student-planned days, we continue on to the greater Seattle area to learn more about urbanization, immigration and refugee issues facing this major urban port. We meet with partners from various immigrant and refugee organizations to gain a better understanding of the plight of immigrants, and assist in the rehoming of a refugee family.
In this major urban center, we are able to look deeper into some of the largest corporations in the United States and how their growth is impacting not only the economy of Seattle, but our country as a whole. Lastly we take some time to explore a few of the quintessential landmarks of Seattle, including visiting the space needle and a meandering afternoon through Pike's Place Market.
Marine Science Aboard a Sailboat in the San Juan Islands
Boarding a ferry, we head across the Puget Sound to the beautiful San Juan Islands, where we embark on our personal sailboat for a deep dive into marine science. We sail the Salish Sea, sleeping aboard the boat and learning about life at sea. With our local specialists as guides, we study nautical science and seamanship, as well as gain an understanding of oceanographic equipment and sampling techniques. We visit the famous Orcas Island, the largest of the San Juan Islands and the home base of our boat and our local partner. After our sailing project some time exploring the islands and their charming waterfront towns, where we hope to see colorful starfish, otters, eagles soaring overhead, and, if we are lucky, spouting whales, before heading onto our next project.
Permaculture Farm Stay
Following our time on the water, we take to the land for a stay on a local permaculture farm nestled in the heart of the Olympic Peninsula. Permaculture is a unique and forward-thinking way of farming that works to utilize systems already found in nature to cultivate crops. It is a very sustainable way of farming and living, and provides a holistic view of how we can interact with nature and our food systems. We spend time learning the many principles of permaculture, and getting our hands dirty on the farm with our welcoming hosts, taking breaks here and there to play with the goats, sheep, and other animals inhabiting the farm.
Cougar Tracking & Water Rights on the Elwha Dam
Next, we venture to the Elwha Native American Reservation located on the Olympic Peninsula. Working hand in hand with our local partners, we join in their current cougar research project efforts. Though elusive, cougars are still prevalent in much of the natural forests in Washington state, but face endangerment with a decreasing population. Our local partners currently have eleven cougars radio-collared for tracking and research purposes. We hike through the forests to track cougar clusters that have recently passed through and research their movements, environment, habits, and current diet. We also assist with a native tree reforestation project on these lands. During our time working with the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, we also have the opportunity to learn about the controversial Elwha Dam and its ultimate removal. We learn about the historical conflict surrounding the dam and witness first-hand the impact of one of the most successful conservation projects in U.S. history.
Backpacking on the Big Island & Volcanoes National Park
After a fantastic road trip across the beautiful mountains, deserts, and rainforests of the American West, we leave the mainland behind and set out for the tropical warmth of the Hawaiian Islands. Landing on the Big Island of Hawaii, we welcome a new culture and way of life as we acclimatize. After spending a few days surfing, snorkeling, and hanging out on the beach, we head out on our much-anticipated backpacking section on the Muliwai Trail to Waimanu Valley. On a four-day backpack, we hike along secluded beaches and through volcanic mountains relishing in the beauty of the landscape around us. Throughout our backpacking expedition we learn about the diverse ecosystems of the Hawaiian Islands while developing and practicing fundamental outdoor skills and Leave No Trace ethics. Camping each night on secluded beaches under the stars, we celebrate the final weeks of our program while building ever stronger connections to our group mates and the world around us.
After a few days of much needed recuperation after our backpacking section, we press on to our final National Park of the program – Volcanoes National Park. Here we witness dramatic active volcanoes, learn the history of the Hawaiian Islands, and see the famous point where hot lava meets the ocean.
SCUBA Certification & Program Conclusion
For our final stop we dive into our SCUBA certification course. Learning about life under the sea and spending our days out on the water, we are excited to obtain our second certification of the program. Exploring life under the sea, we see coral reefs teeming with native Hawaiian fish, and if we are lucky we might even spot a pod of dolphins.
After a fun and exciting final activity, we spend the remainder of our time soaking up the crystalline Hawaiian island waters. With our semester coming to a close, we reserve time to present our Capstone Passion Projects to our gap peers. Sharing our new perspectives with the group, there is no question our living, learning and traveling together will prepare us for the rest of our lives. We savor our last week together, but are excited to head home to share our newly-gained knowledge and insights from our firsthand look at the American Northwest and Hawaii.
*Please note that the order of the itinerary and of the projects is subject to change depending on your group assignment.

Human HTR2B-FLAG Stable Cell Line-CHO
5-HT2B (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B) is a receptor for serotonin. It is expressed in many peripheral and central nervous system tissues, including stomach fundus, liver kidney, muscle, intestine and brain. 5-HT2B receptors are responsible for many cardiovascular and central nervous system functions, such as blood vessel contraction, platelet shape changes, neuronal sensitization to tactile stimuli, and mediation of the hallucinogenic effects of phenylisopropylamin hallucinogens.

How Anyone Can Master the Pull-up
How Anyone Can Master the Pull-up
December 27, 2019
Your arms and back need to complete a huge measure of work to lift your whole body, which is the reason having the option to perform numerous reps is a powerful method to improve not simply the conspicuous muscles — your back, arms and lower arms — however can likewise help you manufacture mind blowing center quality.
Truth be told, as an activity physiologist and quality mentor, I'd venture to such an extreme as to state that the draw up is the world's most overlooked approach to build up your abs—and each other muscle in your midriff, so far as that is concerned.
The majority of that is incredible, however there's one issue: It's an activity that gives many individuals a great deal of inconvenience, paying little heed to whether you've been preparing for a considerable length of time or just began.
On the off chance that you are attempting to play out a draw up — or you wish you could do some more — I'll share a couple of easy to-learn systems that aren't instructed enough and will significantly alter your draw up execution.
When you're set, you'll not exclusively be amazed by how rapidly you can improve, yet additionally by what number of the techniques used to build your chest area quality aren't really pull-ups.
Can't Do a Pull-up? Begin Here
On the off chance that you can't do any draw ups, chances are you'll accuse your absence of back quality. To wind up more grounded, you may begin doing endless 1-arm lines and other hand weight or free weight works out.
While those activity will make you more grounded (and are a piece of the arrangement), they won't ensure that you'll have the option to accomplish more draw ups. That's on the grounds that pull-ups aren't just about your back.
Regardless of whether you have an extremely solid back, you can battle with draw ups on the off chance that you have a powerless center.
Center solidness, or having the option to make pressure all through your middle, is a key piece of effectively completing a draw up.
Your shoulder bones are associated with your middle. A hardened, stable center gives your arms something solid to pull on. What's more, that can massively affect your capacity to lift your body.
So in the event that you are battling with your draw ups—or can't complete a draw up by any stretch of the imagination—train your center with these moves.
(In the event that you like to observe all tips, here's a video separating a great deal of the movements we'll talk about today. In it, you'll see my companion and individual mentor Tony Gentilcore showing a great deal of the moves talked about here.)
Empty Body Holds
Begin by lying on the floor. Lift your arms overhead (biceps in accordance with your ears), keeping your elbows straight.
Cross your hands and your lower legs. At that point press your hands and lower legs into one another to make pressure, and lift up into the empty body position.
We should discuss that term "empty" for a second.
In a decent empty position, your abs are safely supported, as though they were going to take a punch. Calmly inhale in and crush. On the off chance that anything, your abs will move somewhat outward.
Begin by holding an empty body position while squeezing your hands into one another and squeezing your lower legs into one another. This manufactures a portion of the body pressure identified with the situation of dangling from a bar.
Hold this situation for 5 seconds or 2-3 breaths for each rep, keeping up as much head-to-toe strain as you can (more on the most proficient method to make pressure). Take a 5-second break, at that point rehash for 5-6 reps for every set. After some time, you can build the length of your holds. On the off chance that you can keep up pressure for an entire moment, that is great.
Empty Body Horizontal Pull-ups
Next, you're going to utilize a dowel or broomstick. Hold it in two hands as though it were the draw up bar.
Begin with your arms straight and elbows bolted out, as though you were dangling from a draw up bar. At that point, while you hold the empty position, twist your elbows to pull the bar over your face and toward your chest line, imitating the draw up development.
The objective here is to keep up the center quality prerequisite while including an arm development that reproduces the draw up—all while attempting to relax.
Hold the empty body and attempt to finish 8-10 reps, breathing out as the bar goes to your collarbone.
Empty Body Leg Raises
Is it true that you are a supervisor at the empty body work? Fantastic! At that point it's an ideal opportunity to take it up another score.
You can make some extra arm upgrade, and increment the test to your center, by completing a leg raise. Keep the two knees bolted out and traverse the other. Draw down on the stick and lift your toes toward it. You may even have the option to contact your toes to the bar, contingent upon your degree of solidarity and control.
The enormous thing to recall here is to keep up pressure all through your lats to help pull your middle up. Crush the bar as hard as you can in your grasp and consider pulling down on the bar as much as you are pulling up with your legs. This strain in your arms, back and center will enable you to lift your legs all the more effectively.
Play out a lot of 5-8 reps.
Dependability Ball Rollouts
Another activity that creates center solidness is a security ball rollout. There are two different ways you can play out the development, and both are useful to your draw up mission.
Alternative #1: Try to keep your abs strained and press your hips forward, enabling your arms to reach out as you move. At that point draw back with your hips. This variant will put more accentuation on your abs and lower back, while removing a portion of the work from your shoulders
Choice #2: Do a similar thing as you did in alternative #1, yet utilize your lats to attempt to pull the ball back with your elbows to come back to the beginning position. In this form the shoulder point is changing, which means the muscles that control the shoulders will be under more noteworthy burden.
Complete 5-10 reps of either alternative, or both in case you're somewhat insane.
The most effective method to Build Strength on the Pull-up Bar
Before you begin pulling, it's useful to construct your ability dangling from the bar.
Bar Hang
You may battle at keeping up a dead dangle from the bar because of grasp quality. Hanging for 10-30 seconds can be a straightforward and powerful approach to construct the hold quality expected to perform pull-ups.
Hanging Shoulder Shrugs
When you can vanquish that challenge easily, your next objective is pulling your shoulders down and tight to your ribs while holding a similar empty body position you utilized on the ground.
Hold that situation for 5 seconds for every rep, breathing out commandingly with every constriction.
Hanging Leg Raises
Have the empty body hang down virus? Great. You can include some leg raises to truly take it up an indent.
Begin with a bowed knee leg raise. The key is to not influence.
In the event that that is no issue, attempt a straight leg raise. Once more, you need to abstain from shaking forward and backward. The development ought to be moderate and controlled.
No doubt, you will discover at any rate one of these moves testing. Since your objective with these is quality, not amount, you can utilize "miniaturized scale sets" to collect volume. Attempt to hit 10 incredibly great reps complete. To do that, you may need to perform 5 sets of 2, or 4 sets of 2-to-3, or 3 sets of 3, etc.
In the event that you needed to get somewhat insane, you could attempt to carry your toes to the bar. Go through your arms to help destroy on your middle to get a progressively even point on the development.
Draw up Training: Mastering the Movement
Presently we should "oil the depression" of the development such that will enable you to create quality in case you're a novice, and offer some incentive in case you're further developed.
Flexed Arm Hang
The flexed arm hang is a straightforward, yet underutilized move that will have every one of the muscles in your back and arms terminating hard.
To play out the move, simply get the bar and hop up. Keeping your chest as near the bar as could be allowed, hang there as long as you can endure. When you begin to feel yourself descending, battle the bringing down for 3-5 seconds so you can get some unconventional quality improvement out of the move.
Attempt to keep up 10 to 30 seconds for each hold, collecting as long as 30 seconds in an exercise. For whimsical reps, attempt to hold it to a maximum of 5 reps of 3-5 second erratic bringing except if you need down to resemble a T-Rex for a couple of days after your exercise since you're too sore to even think about extending your elbows.
Band Assisted Pull-ups
When you can do flexed arm hangs (and the 3-5 second bringing down) with aptitude and control, you ought to be prepared to attempt the draw up.
In the event that you need to slide yourself into the development, begin by utilizing a band for help.
So also, putting two feet in the band versus only one gives you more assistance when you play out the move.
Begin with the thickest band you need so as to execute the move, at that point work down to littler, more slender groups after some time.
(More approaches to utilize opposition groups in your exercises here.)
The "Vindictive Pull-up Power" Workout Routine
So how would you set up the majority of this together into a reasonable draw up preparing plan you could use all the time? Happy you inquired.
You need to "train for the development" regularly. Three to four times each week is perfect.
Notice I said "train for the development" and not "train the development itself." That's on the grounds that not the majority of your sessions need to incorporate force ups. Truth be told, you'll just perform genuine force ups one day of the week on this arrangement.
Here's an example schedule of what this draw up preparing plan resembles:
Empty Body Holds – 4 sets x 5 reps/set x 5 second hold for each rep
Bar Hangs – 4 x sets x 6 reps/set x 5 second hold for every rep
Flexed Arm Hang – aggregate 30 seconds
Hanging Shoulder Shrugs – 4 sets x 5 reps/set x 5 second hold for each rep
Empty Body Horizontal draw ups – 4 sets x 8-10 reps/set
Hanging Leg Raises – 10 absolute reps
Empty Body Leg Raises – 4 sets x 5-8 reps of smooth controlled pressure
Unconventional force ups – 4 x sets of 4-5 reps taking a shot at 3-5 second erraticisms
DAY 4 (Pull-up day!)

'Writers are like scavengers'
Indra Sinha, shortlisted for this year's Booker, speaks about his latest novel and treating humans. Vijay Dutt reports.books Updated: Sep 10, 2007, 19:39 IST
In a beige jacket and denim, Indra Sinha gives the impression of being a man of leisure. After all, he lives in the English countryside away from the mad rush of modern life. But Sinha, educated at Mayo College and Cambridge, could turn out to be the literary David to Ian McEwan's Goliath in this year's Battle for the Booker, with his second novel, Animal's People.
Sinha's family belonged to Nanpara in Bahraich district in eastern UP.
"I used to go there until my grandfather was alive," he says.
Sinha was born in Bombay.
"I still find it difficult to call it Mumbai. I belong to three countries: India, England and France with my father a senior naval officer, who now lives in Colaba, Mumbai, posted in these countries."
When 11, his parents divorced and he moved with his English mother to England when he was 17.
"My interest in writing started at the age of 10."
Stories about the rebellion of 'Native Americans' got him interested in writing tales of their being wiped out by disease and brutality.
"I got focussed on the underdog."
And his two novels vouch for that.
Despite the toff upbringing, his novels Death of Mr Love and Animal's People are woven out of the denials and deprivations of ordinary people. But apart from facts forming the nucleus for his stories, the whole story is pure fiction. And the synthesis and the blending of the two is what makes Sinha the writer that he is.
"Writers are like scavengers," he says. "We collect the dirt, grimness of life, misery, happiness, feelings of despair and elation, of hope and frustrations of the real people."
Facts, he points out, are turned into readable fiction that ultimately makes the reader ponder over the issues raised from those facts.
His first work of fiction, Death of Mr Love revolves round the Nanavati case.
"I got interested by the way Blitz treated the case. Prem Ahuja who appeared to be the victim became the villain." But the rest of the story is pure fiction.
"Take for instance, Animal's People. Everyone says it is based on the Bhopal Gas tragedy. I am trying to make it clear that over 23 years, issues have got tangled. It is so complicated that there is no scope for fiction, if one had to stick to the complex history of the catastrophe. The fear experienced that night is beyond words. Children who were affected have grown up not knowing what will emerge from their bodies."
The story is told through the life of "this human whom people call jaanwar". It is about a character whose world changed, from human he became an animal, no longer subject to human laws, "yet courageous and bold enough to face the human world."
In the book, tragedy strikes in Khaufpur (City of Fear). The main character becomes physically twisted and starts walking on all fours. He is full of anger, but has a tough strain and retains his sense of humour. This character is based on the real life of a 19-year-old Sunil. Sunil's life story deeply affected Sinha. He has been raising funds to help run a free clinic in Bhopal.
Sinha believes that vernacular language writers need to be translated for their works to reach the world.
"My Urdu is not very good, but I would like to translate [Sadat Hasan] Manto's short stories. I am a great fan of his."
Win or lose the Booker, he says, "I will be delighted if the book having been short-listed receives attention. I want messages in it to be widely read. About treating people with decency as human beings.

What I Told the U.S. Government About Pain
(The April 1 deadline to provide comment on the recommendations of the U.S. Pain Management Best Practices Inter-Agency Task Force is drawing near. Angelika Byczkowski is a frequent contributor to the National Pain Report. Here's what she wrote in the public comment section for the Task Force to consider)
I'm writing to urge that you please don't let the government set standard opioid dose limits for individual patients. Opioids are my only means of relief from a painful connective tissue disorder.
Pain is, by biological design, the most forceful and unpleasant sensation a human body can experience. As a primal alarm of danger and impending death, it demands immediate attention and action. Pain is the most powerful persuader and has been used throughout human history to force people to act against their will by torture.
And when this powerful sensation becomes relentlessly constant, when there's no escape from this pain, no hope for its easing, no end to its presence, life can become too painful to live. (as evidenced by the increasing numbers of suicides by pain patients cut off from their pain relief)
I inherited a permanently painful disabling disorder, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and have been taking high doses of opioids for over 20 years. Countless other treatments, therapies, and medications were ineffective or far too expensive. For me and many others, only opioids provide effective pain relief.
Here is a list of non-opioid therapies, like those you recommend, which I've tried and found ineffective:
- interventional procedures: nerve blocks, epidurals, and even surgery
- biofeedback
- physical therapy
- massage
- chiropractic
- acupuncture
- drugs used for Fibromyalgia: Lyrica, Neurontin, Cymbalta, Savella, Soma, Flexeril
- psychiatric medications: antidepressants, antiepileptics, mood stabilizers, even antipsychotics
- Stanford Pain Management Program
- psychotherapy, including an addiction counselor who determined that I am not an addict, just a person in pain
Enforcing arbitrary opioid dose limits condemns many of us to live the rest of our lives tormented by our pain, which certainly constitutes a "cruel and unusual punishment" for pain patients.
The CDC Guideline was never intended to set specific dosage limits, yet it's being used to legislate absolute rules for what should be individualized medical decisions. It is biased, based on admittedly manipulated data (overdoses were counted multiple times if multiple drugs were found), overlooks essential facts about opioid prescribing, and makes strong recommendations based on weak evidence.
Standard medication dosages imposed by government are inappropriate for medical practice.
Setting a standard dose for pain medication is like setting a standard time for cooking a roast without knowing the amount or type of meat (amount or type of pain) or the temperature of the oven (opioid metabolism of patient).
People have very different kinds of pain and different genetic profiles that cause them to metabolize opioids differently, so effective doses can vary by a factor of 100.
Worst of all, this effectively condemns many of our veterans to a lifetime of pain: those who fought for this country, were gravely wounded, and have permanent injuries that leave them with intractable pain. How can we force them to suffer like this?
Opioid medications are not as dangerous as rumored and do not "cause addiction". If these medications were addictive as some claim, the millions of people who take a few opioid tablets after surgery would be addicted. This is clearly not the case.
Opioids have been used effectively against pain for thousands of years and are addictive for only a small subset of humanity, less than 5%. We cannot protect these people from addiction by forcing so many other people with chronic pain, conservatively estimated at 25 million, to live with incapacitating pain.
The frightening "opioid overdose crisis" numbers are created by adding together very different drugs, users, and motivations.
There is little overlap between legitimate prescriptions used for pain relief and illegal heroin and street drugs used for recreation. The conflated data confuses the motives of people in pain with those looking for a recreational high or staving off withdrawal.
Limits intended for one problematic population (recreational/addicted users) will strongly and exclusively impact a different and innocent population (patients with permanent pain). Overdoses are mostly from multiple drugs and illicit opioids, not from opioids prescribed to the individual and taken as directed.
The "crisis" is one of addiction, not a drug, and the results after 3 years of imposing dose limits: opioid prescribing way down, overdoses way up.
When our pain-relieving medication is drastically decreased (and in some cases stopped without notice or aftercare), we can no longer function in our jobs or family roles, we become dependent and burdensome to our loved ones, and our lives become a progression of daily suffering.
Please don't deprive me and so many other citizens of pain relief based on an arbitrary opioid dosage standardized for the mythical "average" American.
It's not my fault that I need opioids because I inherited a painful condition.
It's not my fault that some people using illicit opioids are overdosing.
Why must I suffer for the self-destructive behavior of others?

I have made my decision to take my life because I will not continue to live in the pain I am in for any longer than I have to. I am not a coward but a realist. I was doing okay on the full amount of medication I was on but with the 90 MME rule and not being allowed to mix other medication with it my life is a hell spent in my bed. I leave my house about once every three months and take a bath/shower as often. I just pray that the next generation of chronic pain patients won't have the same difficulty getting necessary medication for themselves. This law has killed me and killed my hope for a longer period of time. I am not depressed anymore about this. I now know that there's an end in sight. I will not go to the streets for illegal drugs, I will not live in this pain and that only leaves me one option. Your rules are killing people. Many many people. Stop hurting the people that need these medications in higher doses Luke 500 MME plus, in order to shower and get dressed. They are not addicts they're in pain. Our blood is on your hands just the same as if you had stabbed us to death. Again I am not depressed IAM in severe chronic pain. Chronic pain that can only be treated with medications that are strong enough to help it, 90 MME is not strong enough to help a pain level of 8 to 9 with medication on board is not livable pain. Thank you
Today I found out that my recurring kidney pain the most excruciating thing I can think of short of somebody chopping off an arm or leg will not be treated because I already have a reduced amount of chronic pain medication. I'm literally not being treated for acute pain because I have chronic pain. So today I decided rather than end it all I will sell my house and sue. This is the only house I've ever had and the only ones my grown children have known but as my only asset is value it is better to give it up then to give up my life. Hopefully through this suit it might help me and help others as well by setting precedent.
Angelika, This letter you wrote to the government is perfect!! I mean it…I to wrote the task force but, my letter is in no way as good as yours. Thank you for advocating for us who suffer in pain.
Not an addict

Well said, your very brave, thank you so much, I've suffered with chronic pain for 10 years, I have an auto immune disease (Sjorgrens) which affects every single organ in my body, multiple disc, herniated, way to many problems to list, I live in severe pain EVERYDAY,,,
I was prescribed oxycodone 10 mg's @ 12 tablets a day, along with muscle relaxers, and meds to keep me from shaking like a bobble head due to essential tremors and Ativan for ptsd—
Since the so called opioid crisis, my meds have been taken away because my dr. Is scared to give me anything for pain, with my medication, I led somewhat of a normal life, there is no life for me anymore, what happened to the drs oath? to do no harm? sounds like the other way around to me, I have insomnia, anxiety, in's, cluster headaches 🤕 I'm disabled @ 51 yrs old, and now we are put in the same category as drug addict, made to feel worthless, we need to stick together and give the cdc, fda, and flood the media with complaints, in the meantime I'm very tired , depressed, don't know if I can do this anymore!!!
Please pray for me as I do for all you!!!
That would be a great thing if, by happenstance they were forced to "walk a mile" in our shoes. Even for just a day. I bet this "guideline" would be withdrawn at the speed of light! No rest for the suffering. Stay strong and keep fighting this archaic and inhumane treatment of chronic pain patients.
If the government is going to get fascist with citizens in honest intractable pain, why don't we start random urine sampling for drugs on the demographic, geographic, economic out of work group, whatever that is being hit the hardest. people positive give counseling to, search their car and house, high school and college lockers for illegal drugs. period. Be proactive to the people who are causing this crisis. If we are going to cause pain, we might as well go total authoritarian/ fascist and get it over with and show the world what making America great is really about. Go back 80 years and 5,000 miles east,.
An FDA approved antibiotic Levaquin ruined my life and has caused me intractible chronic pain in both legs, calves, ankles. I cannot walk without pain using crutches. In wheelchair I am still in pain in legs. Levaquin caused both achilles tendons to rupture, no surgery possible the damage was so extensive. also caused small fiber neuropathy BOTH CALVES that has been confirmed with multiple skin biopsies. Also caused low testosterone so bad I have to use artificial testosterone once a week or it drops to life endangering levels THAT WOULD PUT MY HEART AT RISK. The FDA did this to me by approving a defective medicine that it now says should NOT be used for nearly all infections. The gov should be mandated to help me and others in real pain, control the pain that it is responsible for causing.

Dear Angelica: Thank you for your courageous and thoughtful words. You brave soul. The geneva convention says that even prisoners of war are not to have their DNA effected in any way, and no unusual torture. Why are we prisoners of pain in America? What happened to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What would the founding fathers say about this ridiculous situation except to fire/ not vote for/ and impeach anyone in power who is making pain patients unnecessarily suffer and loose what little time is left of their aging lives.
It's easy to do!! Please comment to the DHHS TASKFORCE!!
I could not agree more. I just had a knee replacement and it's one of the most painful surgeries I think I've ever had. My other knee needs to get done as well which I am absolutely dreading because of the problem with the pain medicine issue it is making it a lot harder to get through.this My husband has severe back problems he has been working for the Post Office for over 30 years he carries is a 50lb bag on his back and pushes a cart. His pain medicine has been cut down to nothing and he comes home absolutely miserable. All he wants is to get through the next couple years to retirement but now he feels like he's going to be pushed into disability. I was watching a program on TV with a panel men and all they were discussing was that it is affecting all problem now and I don't think it's fair to make people that are in chronic pain suffer because of this I think it should be held up to the individual. People can sit in bars all day and get completely loaded and go to liquor stores and that's ok and get in a car accident or get someone killed or damage their liver this doesn't make sense to me.
FINALLY….The truth….reality. Angela God Bless you. I SUFFER GREATLY with 5 herniated discs and fibromyalgia of 25 years. I pray that your message does not fall upon deaf ears. You are able to articulate this crisis thrust upon us so CRUELY.
SHAME IN YOU CONGRESS, LAWMAKERS, ETC…..You cause me to live in pain severely undertreated. This gives me NO QUALITY OF LIFE. I HURT SO MUCH….
LAWMAKERS PLEASE HELP US. We are in GREAT PAIN. I, like Angela, live in pain that I challenge any lawmaker to endure for a day.
Well said! Thank you, Angelika!!
Well written Angelika! Thank you! ❤❤
I was also fairly comfortable on my dose of opiates (I don't like the word 'opioid'; I first heard it only a few years ago.)
I wasn't on a high dose, but it was still found necessary to decrease my dose. Now I'm in more pain, and it's not helping any addicts! The doctors understand that I use opiates for pain, not addiction, so why are they allowing me and so many others to suffer?
I, too have tried many alternate therapies, and they don't work. Many of the other medications that the doctors have given me are more dangerous than opiates.
And now I read that they have a scientific method to measure pain–biomarkers! Just one more indication that they don't trust many of us.
Well look at this, again. I've read comments like these at other websites as well. It's hard to believe that this is actually happening, in america. In the land of the free we're not so free, are we? We should no longer pride ourselves as being the land of the free because its simply just not true, as a matter of fact, its a Big Lie. My so called constitutional rights has been violated time and time again, 7 times and no one was held accountable, its heartbreaking. But, I thought that was what our soldiers died for? Our rights, our constitution? Hmm. Long story short, when I was a child, I was put into a "Forced Child Labor Camp" right here in the good ole u s of a. They worked us like pigs. We, american children, were not treated like human beings. I was worked like a pig at the parents house as well. I would get labored so hard until my back couldn't hold me up any longer. But, it didn't prevent me from working the following day or even when I got a little older but, it may have contributed to the massive spine and nerve issues later in my life, you think? When I got out of the, "Forced Child Labor Camp" at 17, I was left homeless. One night, at 17 years old, I was walking on the sidewalk and, what do you know, The Big Bad gov in his big bad patrol car almost ran me right over going up over the sidewalk with the front wheels. Big Bad jumped out and came around and picked me up over his head and slammed me extremely hard, head and face first onto the car hood causing my legs to bend backwards up over my head hitting the hood and bending my spine in half. I felt an extremely painful feeling in my lower back, I thought the cop stabbed me. He dragged me to the station, chained me to the floor, like a dog, for hours. Then, it unchained me and kicked me out the door, with no explanation. Still, it didn't prevent me from working but, do you think it contributed to the massive spine and nerve problems later in my life? This is just the tip of the iceberg. It is shocking
Well said and very true why should we suffer because some people choose to get high and die?
I responded to this call to action as well. Everyone needs to af their two cents. The only way to create change is to keep at this peck peck pecking away at every opportunity.
I know it seems redundant. I been pretty active in getting my thoughts out to these call to action and also on facebook and Twitter.
We will be heard and things will change but it's up to us to stay in their face.
Very well said.
God bless you. You just put it into words. I have spent 24 years with the man of my dreams and the last nineteen he has been disabled due to two failed surgeries and the RSD that came with them. Yes he was on ahigh does of opiates after 16 years of use. Now he is forced to take less than the CDC calls acceptable. He is giving up. He has no quality of life and feels like a burden, he feels like he has no value. I keep telling him to hold on something will change it will get better again. God i pray it does or i dont know whats ahead. Then there will be the battle of just finding doctors to treat the chronic pain patients. In Kansas they just want to force taper everyone until they can put you on methadone or suboxen and that is the pain specialists. Our first pain specialist offered a rx for suboxen at our first appt. He told me i might want to stay close for a week or so. Seriously. If not for our primary dr. of 15 years doing the cdc requirement. I belive he would have already lost the battle. The clinic our dr. joined and must follow their guidline sent us to their pain dr. who is the one that only offered suboxen. Pray they let drs be drs again and all these poor suffering souls can make it until they see the light.
Wow, just wow!
Has anyone considered looking at other countries who have similar issues? Getting these countries support would really help especially if they have resources and effective practices in their views of physical and emotional support. In addition, it would be beneficial to look at their research on addiction
Hi Angelica, very well written! Thank you!!
You know, when I have a better day (although still in writhing, continuous pain mind you) I feel like a 'normal' person…as normal as can be. NOT! ha ha. It is diffucult to really imagine being normal anymore.
But then when I have days like this past week where I cannot lie down to sleep (therefore I hardly sleep!) because the spine pain and burning won't let me and I can only survive my days and nights with my opioids and soaking in ice packs… I pray hard, not only for myself to get through each minute but even moreso for those who haven't any treatment anymore.
I cannot imagine not having even the slightest edge taken off my pain.
We experience things that most others just can imagine living with. And yet, we remain warriors of all sorts! We are strong, no matter how weak and lost we truly feel deep within our lives in pain. God help the CP community! God bless you. Maureen
God bless you Angelika for taking the time to write such an informational letter that is such a testament to many of our journeys as we have tried countless medications, procedures, and different medical institutions to no avail. I appreciate you writing so eloquently on our behalf.
If the people in position of making such decisions for the community of chronic pain sufferers could experience our lives, feelings, pain, and daily schedule of how we handle our individual plan for getting through one day, I believe laws would change.
Here here, well put. Thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you for your comments. Your chronic pain medication problem is very common among chronic pain patients. We can only hope that the physicians who care will step forward and protect these patients because they are not at fault here. Most, the majority, take their meds as prescribed, follow doctor's orders, and do not or ever will participate in illegal practices. Again, why should they and their families suffer because of those who are addicted to drugs for no other reason than to get high? Shame on anyone who would take away life savings drugs away from a patient. Thank you again for sharing your story.
Well said. The current focus on opioids and prescriptions however well intentioned is wrong-headed. Do we not have an alcohol crisis? No matter, we must do everything in our power to make sure the "best practices" which come out of the task force to develop same do not do take the control and decision making away from our doctors to prescribe whatever they deem appropriate for our situation. Once adopted any resulting harm will likely remain for a very long time.
It is worth reminding everyone reading this that the number of us experiencing chronic pain is large enough to be an extremely powerful lobbying force if we only were able to come together as a cohesive force. Reliable statistics reveal as much as 40% of the entire US population has experienced or currently experiencing chronic pain. Unfortunately, we don't have a leader to coalesce behind to harness this incredible force. So I implore each and every one of you to use your talents the best you know how to be a force for positive change. Someone out there is our leader who has the wherewithal to lead us into battle fully equipped to free ourselves of the bondage of persecution. Maybe you are that person or know that person. Regardless, please stay forever vigilant for any sight of our leader and do your best to solicit her or him to lead come to our need and harness the tremendous forces our numbers posses.
I second everything Angelika Byczkowski said!
Except I have three severe Neurological diseases (two of which are autoimmune diseases). I have Advanced General Myasthenia Gravis with Hyperthymusism (nearly all meds are blocked completely from working due to my XXL Thymus Gland, so I need HIGH DOSES of what does work). I guarantee no medical "expert" the CDC is using to justify trying to STOP USING OPIOIDS completely- has any clue what Advanced Myasthenia Gravis does to a person; nevermind the Hyperthymusism.
WAIT! I'm not done: I also have Degenerative Disc Disease (SIX bad discs in my neck & lowest back w/a rupture to the spinal sac). The rupture was to the sac that surrounds the spinal cord (aka annulus) and is filled with spinal fluid. I was diagnosed with the herniated disc at L5-S1 with an annular tear for 7-YEARS!. So I have basically bone rubbing against bone on the WORST disc to have this on in the entire spine.
I also have Fibromyalgia that mainly affects my calf muscles in both legs, but it causes severe pain in my entire legs. For 7-years quack Neurologists in Wyckoff Hospital never bothered to REALLY L@@K at the MULTIPLE MRI's the hospital did from 2004-2006, yet they still told me I had Bilateral Sciatica!
Then I see ONE Neurologist (fresh out of school) at NYC Beth Israel Hospital ER in 2012, and he says "There's no question that you've never had Bilateral Sciatica!", then he proceeded to show me exactly WHY this made perfect sense (never done before).
I have 16-years medical field experience myself (before I got so sick). One thing that is a FACT more than any other in the medical field: IF YOU ASK FIVE DIFFERENT DOCTORS FOR A DIAGNOSIS, YOU WILL GET FIVE DIFFERENT DIAGNOSES!
I REFUSED any opioids that made me "high". So they used high dose Methadone I had no high and was on that for 16-yrs.
Then it's LOWERED because my pain doctor became paranoid by the DEA. My Quality Of Life is GONE! Thanks CDC.
In bed last night trying to go to sleep thinking maybe I won't wake up tomorrow. I had to go to store needed maybe 4 things in bed 2 1/2 days got up once each day to feed cats hard time to do that. They are killing me with no pain pills. Just short note. Bad when u think/hope u will not wake.
I have been on opiates for 15 years and am being weaned off drastically I'm am now worthless I'm am a father and I feel as though I'm truly a burden I desperately want to throw in the towel I can't take more torture I just want to go be with God now
I fractured 7 vertebrae at age 12 when I fell nearly a hundred feet out of a pine tree in Ma. I'll never be OUT of pain, only my meds help life seem tolerable.
It's not the pain management chronic pain patients who are putting drugs in the wrong hands. Trust me no patient is offering out their meds. The "opioid crisis" has our Doctors expecting us to survive on less than half of what we need and were prescribed 10 years ago.
I can't fathom how my intractable pain isn't deserving of the 75 Mcg. Duragesic (Fentanyl) patches which are the ONLY effective treatment for me and a cancer patient is. God bless them at least their pain has an expiration date. I've already switched to non filtered cigarettes.
I am nearly 40 years old with 2 teenage children. I really wish that everyone from the Dr's to the decision makers would think about the families of we who are suffering. They watch, they see and they are just as powerless as we are!
Like I said! It's not the pain management patients! Trust me on that!
This article finally speaks the truth on this matter! I i truly pray that more people speak out about this so people like myself and thousands of others can get some relief from mind killing pain. Let the truth be heard
What can I do to help? If I lose my pain medication I will not keep living. I'm afraid to move because doctors have a become too afraid of the CDC.
This was the best article that explains what pain patients are going thru..the weaponization of CDC guidelines have profoundly impacted my family in a horrible way. It has also devistated doctor patient relationship. And caused stigma, bias, discrimination for all pain patients. Patients have lost all power over what is put in and on our bodies. This article says it all. This has to stop our lives depend on it!
I agree 1000% with Angelika, I too suffer horrendous pain. Even with me pills, pain always there, just not as severe. I can not live a decent life without my pills. If they take them away or cut my prescriptions, I honestly don't know what I would do. I also saw many doctors and specialists with no avail, I took many different types of pills, those also no avail. I even had a hysterectomy (for the hell of it) ( I did not need it) no answer found for my pain. Please don't make us in pain without our meds, we suffer too much. I am Just one of thousands who suffer pain, no one can find the cure. Thank for listening. Please help. Bobbi
Thank you! It enrages me that we have to beg our government to let us have something to allow us to function daily. Yet alcohol and tobacco are legal with little to no health benefits. I should be able to choose what goes into my body. I don't need a nanny state to know what is good for me. I don't use tobacco, alcohol, or drugs. I just want enough of my daily pain to be at bay so I can function the way I once did.
Well said! Bravo!.. I second that.
They wont let me cure my amxiety and pain simultaneously in Texas. They go hand in hand. My dr. Is furious. What to do?
You ate correct is saying it should just be up to the Dr. & Patient. What about our privacy and private doctors. This is too big brother.
I'm so very sorry you hurt the way you do. I to am in chronic pain. I was on about 500 mg of morphine per day and was dropped by my doctor's office of 15 years. Stuggled to find a new doctor. Now I suffer through the days and nights on 90 milligrams of morphine. No one has the right to torture anyone else, as you well know the incessant pain is torture. Thank you for sharing your feedback. Perhaps others will too.
Have you seen this yet? It's nauseating to say the least and exemplifies the extraordinary arrogance and misinformation promoted by certain clinicians with a particularly prejudiced mindset. I couldn't even manage to read it all. And, naturally, because it's anti-opioid/anti-CPP, it gets a thorough welcoming into the prime real estate of publications:
The New York Times: Is Pain a Sensation or an Emotion?.
I sure appreciate your comments. I see myself in this. Thanks so much.
I live with crohn's that rules out any anti-inflammatories and I can guarantee this will not go unchallenged
The crisis is crohnic intractable pain, not opioids – my wife has RSD. On the McGill Pain Scale it's at the top. They – the Drs & insurance companies are complicit. My wife is 63! They took away over 1/2 of her meds and are going to take more. They tell her to try Pot. Are you kidding!????
If only these government "experts" could only feel our pain, they would be signing a different tune right now! We must stop this myth now!
The powers that be have taken, created, grafted, and placed all pain medication patients in with those who abuse, overdose, steal,
and make pain meds.
As a patient with chronic pancreatitis, fibromyalgia, and chronic migraines for 25 years plus I now live in fear of my medication being withheld.
The powers that be have bullied
me, demeaned me, categorized me, and are deciding if I am worthy to be free of pain with laws and standards that have been born out of illegal drug users.
As a retired nurse, patient, and using medicine that relieves my pain as prescribed now I am being bullied.
The data, statistics, studies are flawed. To save time putting me in with those who overdose, use illegally, and sell illegally is bulling me into there plan to decide if I am a worthy human being that should be prescribed pain medication.
That is bulling, demeaning me as a patient, catorigizing, and placing me in public shame. People shame me by ridiculing me, bulling me, and making me feel I can't address this with my physician.
I can see why patients with chronic pain feel humiliated in public for having pain, taking medicine, and always told they just need to deal with it.
We are being bullied to the point of shame for taking as prescribed, working with our physician, and see physician as scheduled.
Take the studies, information, and data place each group as it should be. Quit be lazy and bulling us into believing you have our best interest. If you did you would have done it right the first time.
Outstanding presentation by a remarkable advocate & researcher for the pain community!!
Unfortunately the Veterans Administration does not offer any of those interventions four modalities. They can't even breath I veterans with tens pads
I have taken opioids for pain for 15 years,I am not at all addicted to it,it helps me to live a better life with very little pain, itstheyoung kidsthat want to get high, they don't even let a dog suffer,why do you want to do this to people in pain. If you think people aren't going to find drugs on the street,your kidding yourself,it's already in the school. So don't blame doctors who want to help people in pain.its not their fault at all.
The report by Angelika Byczkowski I just finished reading, What I told the US Gov About Pain , I totally agree with everything she said and I couldn't have written it better myself !
Well said. I am sorry for your suffering. My daughter inherited EDS as well as other auto immune then contracted Lyme disease which was not found for years after an initial what we now know was a bulls eye rash. Never had a tick. My daughter has severely been disabled from pain of all types, and causes she was 23. She wants to work. She can't even take care of herself. It is quite simple to save her life lost. She needs pain meds. Her absorption because of EDS is different than most.
Gall bladder surgery and endometriosis a total nightmare trying to manage the pain after. They gave her every type and kind of pain med which barely touched it until given a particular kind of opiod.
Here is a young woman who wants to work, wants to contribute to society but cannot due to the opiod limitation and the issues caused by people who took illicit drugs.
Totally this is discrimination and very closely as what happened to the Jews by Hitler. There is no difference. Brutal cold hard physical abuse and suffering, plain and simple. Only difference is our critical chronic pain patients are being driven to end their own lives. In the end the U.S. gov is killing the CPP folks in the name of power the same as Hitler's Germany killed Jewish folks. No difference in the end really.
The most succinct summary and criticism of the prevailing strategy to lower fatal drug overdoses and opioid addiction. Excellent job articulating the desparate plight of everyone in chronic pain for whom opioid therapy has been the only realistic way to live a dignified life. craig cornish

7 Ties That Will Make You Feel Like a Superhero
Whether you regularly wear one for your job or just keep one handy for special occasions, there's going to be times in your life when wearing a tie is necessary. Of course, just because you're donning some neckwear doesn't mean you can't have some fun with it. And for comic book geeks out there, there's no better way to express your personal sense of style than with a tie that features your favorite superhero. Whether you're a fan of Spider-Man or an admirer of the Joker, we've got the perfect tie for you.
1. Dark Knight Silk Tie
Handmade in Italy out of 100% silk, this Batman tie features a subtle design and color scheme that goes well with almost any suit. And despite featuring Batman's iconic logo, this tie wouldn't look out of place in the office or at a formal dinner – even one hosted at a certain reclusive billionaire's manor. You can find the Dark Knight Silk Tie here.
2. Superman Shield and Stripe Men's Red Silk Tie
It's a well-known fact that red is the "power" color when it comes to ties. But what about the times when a standard red-colored tie isn't enough? Then it's time to bring even more power to your business attire with the red Superman necktie. Made of 100% silk, this stylish tie incorporates Superman's "S" logo into a bold striped design. Perfect for those crucial business meetings with supervillains. You can find Superman Shield and Stripe Men's Red Silk Tie here.
3. Spider-Man New Novelty Necktie
We've featured this Spider-Man tie before and for good reason – we love its unusual pattern that looks vaguely Hawaiian from a distance, but is actually made up of dozens of crouching Spider-Man figures. The only downside to this tie is that it's made of polyester, rather than silk. I mean, if there's one superhero whose tie should be made of silk, it should be the one who has a silk-producing creature in his name, right? Still, our Spidey-sense is telling us that this tie is a must-have for fans. You can find the Spider-Man New Novelty Necktie here.
4. Brooks Brothers Diagonal Stripe Tie (Iron Man)
Sometimes a color scheme alone is enough to express your superhero fandom. Although Tony Stark has dozens of different types of Iron Man armor, the most iconic version features a red and gold paint job. So while we don't know for sure if Iron Man inspired this tie's red and gold color scheme, we wouldn't be surprised if we found out that Brooks Brothers was a subsidiary of Stark Industries. You can find the Brooks Brothers Diagonal Stripe Tie in Iron Man colors here. And if you really want to bring out the Iron Man aspect of this tie, try pairing it with an Iron Man tie clip or a pair of Iron man cufflinks.
5. Zheli Men's Luxury Captain America Shield Western Cowboy Artistic Bolo Tie
Captain America is not only the original Avenger, he's also America's most patriotic superhero (I mean, "America" is even part of his superhero name). So it makes perfect sense to represent the Cap with the most American style of neckwear: The bolo tie. Made of a nearly 40-inch long piece of leather rope capped with metal tips, this Captain America bolo tie features the superhero's iconic shield as its centerpiece. While this tie works great on its own, it also makes the perfect accessory to this Captain America Belt Buckle. You can find the Zheli Men's Luxury Captain America Shield Western Cowboy Artistic Bolo Tie here.
6. Marvel Comic Books Bow Tie
Not everyone can pull off a bow tie, but people who can should definitely add this Marvel Comic Books Bow Tie to their collection. Featuring images of vintage Marvel comic books, this pre-tied, handmade bow tie will add some superhero style to any outfit. You can find the Marvel Comic Books Bow Tie here.
7. Magnoli Clothiers Joker Pure Silk Tie
While the Joker is not exactly a superhero, we had to include this stylish tie that is based on one the supervillain wore in The Dark Knight. This 100% silk tie features the same gold and brown stepped pattern that can be seen on the Joker's tie in the 2008 blockbuster. And while this classic tie would go well with almost any conventional suit, if you really want to emulate the Joker's style, then pair it with a green waistcoat and a psychedelic shirt. You can find the Magnoli Clothiers Joker Pure Silk Tie here.

Peshwa Bajirao 18th August 2017 Written Episode *Maha Episode* Update: Conspiracy forces Baji to propose marriage to Mastani
Peshwa Bajirao 18th August 2017 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The Episode starts with Baji coming home. Baji asks how did you know that I am coming. Radha says she is a mum and comes to know. He touches her feet and asks where is Peshwin Bai. Radha says she went for some society function. Baji hears the baby and smiles. He goes to room and asks baby to become like her father. He asks where is your father. Chima ji comes looking sad. Baji says Rakhma left a big responsibility on you and asks him to be strong. Chima ji hugs him and cries. Chattrasal tells Mastani that water is ending. Mastani tells that she is hopeful that Baji Rao will come and help them after reading her letter. Kashi tells the Servants that some respected people are coming to meet her and asks to make food. Radha informs her that Baji came. Kashi says she will get food made for him. Radha asks if she will not meet him. Kashi says her wait is over. Chima ji, Baji and Gotiya sit to have food.
A messenger comes and tells that Bundelkhand raja have sent him a message. Chima ji says Peshwa ji is having food, and asks him to wait. Baji says message might be important and reads the letter. Mastani seeks his help to fight with Mughals and hopes that they need help. Baji asks Gotiya to prepare sena to go to Bundellkhand and gets up from having food. Kashi asks him to have food. Baji asks her to tell what she wants. Kashi tells that Bundelkhand is not in their territory and asks him to go. Baji tells that he will go surely to help their people and asks her to feel the pain of people rather than worrying about their taunts. Radha blesses him. He leaves.
Mantri tells Chhatrasal that Baji rao attacked Bankash and will save them now. Chhatrasal gets happy. Suraiyya says Mastani is praying since much time, holding Veena. Swaraj hai plays as Baji is shown in the battle field.
Gotiya comes to Baji and asks him why he is not ready, and says Maharaj Chhatrasal have kept a utsav in his honor. Baji says he don't want to go as many Soldiers died in the fight. He hears the same song and tells Gotiya that he heard this voice before and wants to know who is singing this. He comes to Mastani hearing the voice. Mastani sings the song…She turns and see Baji. Yeh aasman ka noor song plays as Baji sees her. He says you? Chhatrasal comes and says she is my daughter Mastani. Gotiya says your voice have done wonders, and had pain and peace too. Mastani says I am happy that my voice gave you peace. Chhatrasal says he has organized a feast in his honor. Chhatrasal tells Suraiya that he got fine as Bundelkhand is freed, but is worried for Mastani. Rani comes and says there is a good idea. She says Mughals can attack Bundelkhand again, and asks him to get Mastani married to Peshwa Baji rao to strengthen their relation. Suraiyya says Baji rao is already married. Rani says royal people marries many times, and tells him that Mastani will not refuse, and Baji likes her song and will agree too. Chhatrasal gets thinking.
Chhatrasal calls Baji and says he wants to give him small gift, if he wants to accept, he wants to give his precious diamond.. Baji says he don't want to have anything. Chhatrasal says he wants to give him Mastani. Baji is shocked and says how can you say this. Chhatrasal says I know you are married. Baji says even if I was unmarried then I wouldn't have agreed to take her in gift. He says he respects woman, and says you are doing this to safeguard your nation, and tells that if Mughals attacked again then also I will come and save you. He holds his hand and says friendship is what matters to him a lot. An attacker makes Gotiya unconscious. Servant informs Mastani that some attacker went to Baji's room. Mastani asks Sevika to bring her sena there. Attacker comes to Baji and makes him smell chloroform. Mastani comes and stops attacker from stabbing him. He pushes her on Baji and runs. Baji is drowsy and looks at Mastani. Mastani saves him and fights with the attacker. Attacker escapes. Mastani lifts Baji's kataar and gives in his hand. He takes it and says for the first time, somebody saved me. He thanks her.
Mastani apologizes and promises that the attacker will not be spared. Baji says you saved my life and that's why I want to gift you something. Rani asks Baji what is happening and asks did you give kataar to Mastani with your hand. She tells Mastani that if she wanted to marry him then would have told everyone. She says this is akhand vivah. Mastani says she was about to return it. Rani says nobody will believe her and asks where is the attacker. Baji says Mastani is right. Other ranis ask if he did this intentionally. Mastani asks Rani not to blame him. Rani tells Mastani that she is like her mum and can go to any length to get married to rich man. Mastani asks her to tell him anything. They blame Mastani and Baji. Mastani and Baji look at each other.
Chhatrasal tells Baji that he is guilty of him and apologizes on behalf of rani. He says we are rajput and is associated with our rituals. He says truth is that, you gave your kataar to Mastani. He says your khand marriage happened, and now she can't marry a rajput. He says Mastani was found in your room at night, and says now he has no option than to make Mastani go from his live, palace and Bundelkhand. Suraiyya cries. Chhatrasal asks them to take Mastani to palace in desert. She says she will not be princess now. Mastani agrees to leave the palace now itself. Rani smiles as it was her conspiracy to get Mastani marry Baji. She folds her hands infront of Baji. Baji recalls how Mastani protected him. He asks her to wait and tells that a woman was insulted in mahabharat. He says I have taken oath to protect the women. He says he gave that kataar unknowingly to her and says he wants to give her one more gift. He gives his sword to her. Suraiyya smiles.
Radha appreciates Baji for protecting Bundelkhand. Baji tells Kashi that he won the battle, but lost her trust. He says he got married to Bundelkhand s princess in khand vivah.

WESTMINSTER, Colo. (CBS4) – Following a road rage shooting in Westminster which killed a teenager, some of those who were at the center of the investigation shared their stories of coming together to help others.
CBS4's Dillon Thomas spoke with a massage therapist who helped give aid to a gunned down teenager and a Colorado Parks and Wildlife officer who located the suspect.
Loretta Hocking, owner of Miracle Touch Massage, was about to give a massage when the shooting occurred. A client looked out the window and saw children with gunshot wounds laying on the ground.
"(The children) were little," Hocking said. "Once we knew there were kids out there, we just went straight out there."
Hocking said one victim was breathing at first, as she placed cloths under his head for support.
Hocking called 911, as a coworker later gave CPR to the 13-year-old male victim.
"We take care of people. That was our first response," Hocking said. "All I could have done was pray, which I did."
A short while later, Colorado Parks and Wildlife Officer Matt Martinez was in Arapahoe County traffic.
"I noticed an alert beep on my phone," Martinez told CBS4's Dillon Thomas.
The alert was a BOLO for suspect Jeremy Webster's black Toyota Corolla.
"As I look forward, and to the right, there was a black vehicle passing me in stop-and-go traffic. Maybe 5 mph. I saw the plate is the same plate (from the alert), NPQ-091."
Martinez just happened to be sitting in traffic next to the suspect when the alert went out.
"I was lucky. He was right there. Right place, right time," Martinez said.
Martinez called Colorado State Patrol for backup and assisted in the suspect's arrest.
Hocking said she was still trying to process what happened outside of her office.
"What could we have done differently? What could we have done better?" Hocking asked.
Amid such tragedy, and shock, those CBS4 spoke with said there were still stories of strangers coming together to help those in need.
"We all could work together, and came together," Hocking said. "We all did everything we possibly could."
Dillon Thomas is a reporter at CBS4 and a Colorado native. He believes everyone has a story, and would love to share yours! You can find more of his stories by following him on Twitter, @DillonMThomas.

I love lace, and for me lace is and always will be delicate, feminine, noble and attractive!
This silver art deco wedding band is crafted with a gorgeous lace pattern and measures 6 mm wide and 1.2 mm thick.
If you do not see your ring size in the selection menu, please contact me for pricing.
Providing the Correct Ring Size:
When placing your order, please make sure you provide the correct ring size. If you do not know your ring size, or want to double check, it is advisable to visit a local jeweler. Many jewelers will measure your finger for free.
Tips for accurate measurement:
Measure your finger in warm temperatures at the end of the day (this is when your finger is at its largest).
Avoid measuring cold fingers (cold fingers are smaller than warm fingers).
If your knuckle is much larger than the base of your finger, make sure and measure both the base of your finger as well as your knuckle and select a size between the two to allow enough room to comfortably slip over your knuckle.
For wide rings (more than 6mm), select one size larger than what your actual ring size is.
Please note that your primary hand's ring size can be a half to a full size larger.
Please do not use any printable sizers that can be found online. Most of these are inaccurate.

I've been spending some time thinking about how free will relates to the Bible, and in this post I'd like to present an argument claiming that it's not possible to describe the Bible as the Word of God and at the same time maintain that we have free will — an idea at the heart of the Christian faith. I will lay out my argument in five points.
1) Many Christians consider the Bible to be the infallible Word of God, useful for doctrine, teaching, rebuking, training in righteousness, etc (see 2 Timothy 3:16).
2) But much of the Bible (both the Old Testament and New Testament) is describing real-life historical events. For instance, God guiding the Israelites to the Promised Land in the Old Testament, the crucifixion of Christ in the New Testament, and countless other examples, of course. Few Christians would deny that the narratives recorded in the Bible represent the unfolding of God's plan for creation.
3) If the Bible is indeed God's narrative, then the events described in Scripture must have been brought about by God, otherwise Scripture could not be considered authoritative and infallible. If the events recorded in the Bible were not brought about by the will of God, it would be illogical to describe the Bible as 'God-breathed' and 'God's Word' — on the contrary, the Bible would have to be understood as merely human reflections on events which may or may not have happened. To say God inspired the Bible, but not the events described in the Bible, would be incongruous. If the Bible is inspired by God, then God must have willed the events described therein.
4) But if the events described in the Bible are brought about by God, then there is no room for free will in them. If there is no free will, key Christian ideas such as sin, judgment, the fall, the atonement, and salvation, don't make sense, because these ideas depend on the notion that we freely sin.
5) If God is sovereign over the events recorded in the Bible (events unfolding over a period of thousands of years) then it would logically follow that God is sovereign over all events throughout the entirety of history. If God is sovereign over all the events of history, then clearly, there is no free will, and the logic of the Christian worldview must be called into question.
I hope you were able to follow the argument I have presented here. I have closed comments for this post because I'm not looking to get into discussions or arguments in relation to the points presented here (I have done that exhaustively elsewhere), I just want readers to consider the argument and decide for themselves whether or not what I've said is true.

This is an undoctored picture of White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko, second baseman Chris Getz, and Royals first base coach Rusty Kuntz. No explanation needed.
This'll be repeated to the dismay of Lower level seat holders throughout the MLB for another 160 games if Getz gets on first, as Kuntz is the 1B coach. That would be a twisted challenge, collect all 30 teams.

Even before my child was born, God has already placed in my heart the desire to homeschool Dindin. Although met with much criticism, it seems that the desire is getting stronger as the days pass.
My plan to homeschool Dindin transcends far beyond just mere financial savings. My intention really is to disciple my child and ingrain biblical Christian principles to her and expose her to different learning experiences. Although I graduated from a public school for my elementary and high school education and a private institutin for my college degree, most of what I apply in my life today were learned not from school but from varied life experiences.
And these are what I aim to teach Dindin as well.
Dindin is showing signs of giftedness, and I would like to be able to hone her talents and skills through special trainings. I don't want her to be limited to the school environment where she has to compete for honors. I am an honor student and honestly, I don't value those medals and accolades anymore.
I want Dindin to learn how to appreciate the grass and the flowers, to learn housework like they were play as well as essential learnings, and to be able to bake cookies and eat them warm with cold milk, aside from of course, teaching her God's word, how to pray, and how to apply these biblical principles to her daily life.
I already have a plan on how to go about it. They say it would entail a lot of commitment but I think I am ready. After all, I am already a stay at home mom. And I really think, that with much prayer, this would really work for us.
