If Germany had won World War II, they would control the continent of Europe.

Disband NATO/OTAN! NOW!
NATO should be disbanded. We waste Billions on OTAN.
Billions of American tax dollars wasted on European Defense. The Euros are affluent enough and recovered enough from World War II to defend themselves.
The US should retreat from Europe. We should not lift a finger in European defense unless they pay for it.
If they start another World War, the US should stand by and watch as they destroy themselves again. In no way should America allow another Wilson or FDR to emerge and bamboozle us into another European debacle. I don't care if Putin nukes Berlin. That is a European problem.
We can sit by and wait. Once they've finished demolishing themselves, they can pay us for the products and services necessary to rebuild what they have destroyed.
The monster lies dormant in Europe. 60 or 70 years cannot resolve 2000 plus years of psychopathy, rage, hatred, distrust and bi-polarity.
Personally, I think the current refugee "crisis" is awakening the monster. Not too much longer, a history blink of an eye, the great rage and antipathy of the people of Europe will awaken and the genocide will begin.
I don't think the Muslims realize what they are doing to themselves. Many Muslims will die over the next three or four decades. They are setting themselves up for an Islamic Holocaust.
"Never again" has never solved anything. The Euros can pretend that they have evolved. Yet, they are human. They are still human. They will turn to violence. It has already begun in the North.
When it does happen, America should sit back and watch. We should not allow the Wilsonian Statists to drag us back to Europe. We should sit back and watch them burn.
In the larger picture, we do not have to defend Europe to profit from them. We need only send our products and services to their shores.
The Donald and Europe
I got news for all of you folks out there.
More Signs of the Coming Backlash Against Muslims in Europe
A bit sensationalistic, this. However, some truths lie within. Regardless, this video will upset the masses of Muslims around the world Hopefully, they'll realize that it wasn't made by Americans as we usually are blamed for everything.
All religions have skeletons in their closets. The "Virgin Mary" impregnated by God at/abt age 13. Did GoD get down with the boogie in the Virgin Mary or did he just reach up there and throw a baby inside? Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, married a girl somewhere between the ages of six and nine. No one knows for certain and the actual age is hotly contested by Muslims and "Infidels" alike. The one thing that the record makes clear is that he did not have "relations" with her until she had "passed her first blood." Mohammad also had multiple wives as did nearly all of the Prophets of the Bible. Such was the custom of the times. Abraham, the great patriarch of all three major Western Religions, pimped his wife out at least two times. Both times, he denied that Sarah was his wife. Both times, he allowed her to "marry" a local ruler by deceiving said ruler into believing that Sarah was his sister. Abraham also sexed up his consort (slave), Hagar, in order to bear a child. Did Jesus not say "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?"
The Europeans in this video and elsewhere are complaining about the actions of a subset of Muslims. They are complaining that nothing is being done to counteract the criminality of this subset. Here's the thing, though. Muslims in Europe are being treated differently because of European Culture and European Politicians. Who elects these creatures? Oh….EUROPEANS!
If you do not like what is happening, stop electing these people.
The other problem is the immigration programs of these nations. Immigration, at certain points, was selective. Europe took in oppressed peoples. They accepted immigrants with certain needed skill sets such as Doctors, Engineers and Scientists. This was a wise policy. In the past 40 years, European nations have accepted all comers. Many of these people journeyed to the Scandinavian nations, France and Germany because of these lax immigration measures and because of the benefits and "entitlements" offered by these nations. These people had nothing to offer but the "equality" mindset of Europeans made it so that all immigrants were seen as equal. There is an issue with this egalitarianism in that all people are not equal. Some are base criminals. When a country accepts large numbers of these undesirables and treats them as the oppressed when they are actually the oppressors, these are the problems that will arise. Europeans, primarily because of the World Wars and Colonialism, became myopic and wished to offer themselves as reward or recompense. The guilt of the collective European nations overwhelmed sense and has created a situation in which large numbers of criminals were accepted and their activities excused as being "part of their culture." That sentiment in and of itself is bigoted. All peoples have morals. Even the "other" who arrive from distant lands. To act as though this subset of folks are representative of any culture is ludicrous and bigoted. It is an insult to those who are of those cultures who do act with common courtesy and are law abiding, moral peoples.
I've long said that there is coming a backlash in Europe. That old race hate will again raise it's ugly head. Muslims in Europe had best pay heed. Europe has a long and nasty history of murdering the masses of immigrants who come to their lands.
The past 60 years has been an anomaly in European history. With the resurgence of Nationalism and the threat from the old Russian Empire raises, Europe will revert to form.
All it will take is a major economic slowdown. Muslims will become the targets of massive hate. Some will deserve it. Others will not. Some will have laid the seeds of their fellows destruction. Others will be innocent victims. When the wave strikes, it will destroy the lives of many innocents. It is coming. If you read between the lines, Europe is close to the edge.
It does not matter that it is a small percentage of Muslims who are guilty. All will suffer. All will reap the whirlwind.
60 years in the face of thousands of years of history…the "tolerance" of the "new Europe" will be wiped away and blood will run in the streets.
Muslims would be well instructed to police their own. Yet, this will not happen. Eventually, they will all pay for the actions of a few. Europe will set itself afire and the dead will pile up as the pyramids of old. The blood will be on the hands of all.
Geo-Politics: Change the Dynamic ~ Offer Incentive
If I were President…
1. We get less than 20% of our oil from the Middle East. I'd halt this immediately.
2. That oil shortfall would be sourced from our own reserves and Canada. I'd even throw a bone to Venezuela in exchange for their withdrawal from OPEC.
3. I'd close all bases in the Middle East.
4. I'd place a base in Israel and Egypt. Keep the base in Turkey.
5. I'd tell Egypt and Turkey that they have choice. Either they're with the West or their with the Muslim world. If they decide that they're with the Muslim World, then we withdraw all support and all bases from those countries.
6. I'd tell Europe and Asia that America is no longer responsible and will no longer take action in the Middle East except in the case of defense of our allies.
7. The Allies in the Middle East would be designated as Israel because they are a Democracy as well as Egypt, Turkey and Jordan.
8. Our alliance with Egypt, Turkey and Jordan would be predicated upon Democratic reforms and their renunciation of a foreign policy based upon Islamic Internationalism. These countries can keep their Islamic Nationalism, if they chose to do so. That choice would mean our pulling all resources and support from their nations.
9. Support of Jordan and Egypt would also be predicated upon an agreement to assimilation all Palestinian refugees. All refugee camps would have to be closed down. Those refugees would have to be given full rights in the countries in which they are located. The US would assist with funding for housing and job training for these refugees at 50% of the cost. This Aid Package would be closely guided by a contractual auditor to ensure that the monies were being used to build infrastructure and not lining the pockets of corrupt officials. If bribes are insisted upon, funding would be withdrawn.
10. Continued support of Israel would be predicated upon a real peace plan with the Palestinians.
a. Israel would either permanently partition the West Bank and Gaza as sovereign nations and pull out completely leaving the Palestinians to their own fate.
b. Israel would annex the Palestinian areas and alter their constitution making Israel an officially and legally secular nation. Part of that constitutional reconstruction would be safeguards for all religions, creeds, ethnicities from persecution, etc.
There would be a ten year time frame to effect these changes with specific milestones in place. If these milestones are not met, we would pull all support for any or all of these nations.
We would offer the new Palestine Nation, if created, a package of aid in return for a turning away from Islamism. The US would provide financial and expert support in building a nation from the ground up. A referendum from the Palestinian people would be required to receive this Aid Package. In essence, the Palestinian people would be required to request it via said referendum and the leaders of Hamas, Fatah as well as members of any other quasi-governmental group recognized by the people. If the people did not vote for our assistance, the offer would be withdrawn. This Aid Package would also be closely guided by a contractual auditor to ensure that the monies were being used to build infrastructure and not lining the pockets of corrupt officials. If bribes are insisted upon, funding would be withdrawn.
The onus would then be on these nations. If they decided to go along with us, they would have our support. If not, we would withdraw from them and leave them to their collective fates.
I would have these treaties ratified by the US Congress and the United Nations.
There would be no military solutions offered. Either they come on line with us or we no longer have a reason to be associated with them. End of discussion.
As for the Gulf and their oil, that would be the responsibility of whomever wishes to continue to purchase oil from those nations. China, France, Germany…whomever it may be.
We would continue to patrol the ocean lanes for support of international trade. The Straits of Hormuz — no longer our problem. Saudi Arabia — keep with your Wahhabism/Salafism on your own shores or risk offending more nations.
Egypt seems to be progressing towards Democracy. This surprised me as I thought that the Muslim Brotherhood would take them in the direction of Islamic Sharia. This is a positive development. Jordan would need to step away from Monarchy and join the rest of the world in Democratic reforms.
Over the short term, these initiatives would seem expensive. Over the long term, these initiatives would save America and the Globe much in terms of blood and treasure.
This would be my solution.
In effect, we would be saying; "Join the World and we will support you. Remain in the Dark Ages and we will abandon you."
I want out of the business of supporting corrupt and/or stubborn regimes. Whether that regime be Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia or Western Europe.
The next thing that I would do would be to withdraw all forces from Europe. The only way we would keep US troops stationed in Europe would be if at least 50% of the costs were funded by the country that wished for us to be there. All real estate used by the forces stationed in those countries would need to be loaned permanently at a cost free basis for the duration of the deployment to that country. A Status of Forces Agreement would have to be met whereby our Servicemembers would be subject to US Law and the UCMJ only while in country. All services for our Servicemembers would be provided without interference by the United States. All Servicemembers would be on a Tax Free Status in that country. That nation would also have to be a member in good standing of the Democratic Nations of the World.
If they are not willing to do this. No problem. We will simply not have a need to act in defense of their Nation.
I would also pull out of South Korea. On the way out, I'd tell China that if North Korea attacks, we would bomb the North into the dark ages. That would be my final and only dealing with North Korea. If the people of the North are too brainwashed, too stupid or too weak to fight for change, this is not the problem of the United States of America. Let China feed North Korea or South Korea if that be their desire.
I would pull all of our forces out of Japan. Japan doesn't need us there and many of the people don't want us there. Next, I would enter a treaty with the Philippines wherein we purchase land from them to station our Pacific Forces. I would base a Marine Expeditionary Unit and an Army Mechanized Infantry/Stryker Division there along with a Carrier Fleet being on Station at all times.
China would be warned that Japan is still our ally. Taiwan would be told to work out their differences with China. If China became bellicose and threatened invasion, we would act in defense of Taiwan. Unless the threat is based on Taiwanese provocation. In that case, Taiwan is on their own.
I would also make an alliance of mutual support with India. Our Armed Forces would conduct joint operations/exercises with India. If possible, I would allow for a treaty whereby US Forces would be permanently stationed in Southern India. This would hinge upon Indian acquiescence on the Kashmir debate.
I would withdraw all forces and support from Pakistan and Afghanistan. If Pakistan wanted our support, they would have to oust the Saudi Wahhabis and the Deobandi. Pakistan would also be required to sweep the FATA and NWFP of taliban influences. They would also be required to withdraw from the Kashmir debate. This would be the price of assistance from the US. No debate. No equivocation. If they want our support, they give up their dispute with India over Kashmir and halt support of all terrorism directed towards India.
India and Kashmir would be required to allow a full vote by the Kashmiri people. 1. Independence 2. Annexation by Pakistan 3. Retention by India
International Election Officials would oversee the vote. Any monkey business by either side and no deal. Kashmir should be able to decide it's fate. Their fate should not be decided by Muslim terrorists or Indian Soldiers.
We would withdraw all support from Pakistan if this is not followed through to completion. With regards to India, we go to a neutral stance. India has no need of our support. They're a viable nation in their own right.
Aside from moving away from the Defense of Europe, I would do nothing in Europe. They're sovereign nations that can navigate their way through the world in their own rite. We should not be providing defense for them unless they are willing to subsidize it.
On patrolling the commercial sea lanes, I would require that other nations either subsidize fleet operations or provide support in the form of personnel and equipment. Either that or we protect only US shipping.
It's time for the free ride to end. The Nations of the World (especially Europe) have enjoyed peace at the expense of the American tax payer for far too long. They decry our every move. It's time for them to step up. The World doesn't want Team America — World Police or so they say. Let them have their desire.
These actions would save American Tax dollars. They would remove us from the Middle East conflicts. They would place the onus on other nations to conduct their own defense and improve the lot of their own citizenry.
After these offers, blame for the sorry affairs of the world could no longer be placed at the feet of America. The primary sources of conflict would have been given a viable alternative. If they chose the path to peace, it would be with our leadership. If they chose the path to war, it would be at their own behest. The blame would lie with themselves.
Another thing that I think would be a positive is for an exchange program wherein a Battalion of another Nations forces would be given the opportunity to come to Fort Irwin, Texas to train with US Forces. I'd rotate the Nation on a regular basis. 6 Month rotations. This would be a tremendous opportunity for our Armed Forces and theirs. I'd offer this opportunity to India, Romania, South Korea, Hungary, Egypt, Russia, Thailand, Iraq, Jordan, Israel and other Nations with whom we would engage in treaties of mutual defense or with whom we wish to improve relations.
The last item on my agenda would be reforming the UN. That, though, is a whole other post.
That would keep us from any more of this:
Along with legislation mandating a Declaration of War in order to commit forces to a Ground Invasion of another country. I have no problem with bombing a perpetrating country into the stone ages. If there are viable targets. I would also work to repeal the prohibition against assassination of World Leaders. We could have saved a lot of money and lives by simply putting a .99$ bullet through the forehead of Saddam Hussein. We could save a bit more by spreading about 200 USD worth of lead throughout the Iranian, Hezbollah and Syrian power structures.
No Need for a Jewish Homeland?
Animosity against Jews intensified. Notes nailed to the homes of Jews accused them of working for Israel and corrupting Muslim morals. "Jews were specifically targeted by Houthi rebels," says a spokeswoman for the Yemeni embassy in Washington.
In January 2007, Houthi leaders threatened Jewish families in Saada. "We warn you to leave the area immediately… [W]e give you a period of 10 days, or you will regret it," read a letter signed by a Houthi representative cited in a Reuters article.
Virtually the entire Jewish community in the area, about 60 people, fled to the capital. Since then, they have been receiving food stipends and cash assistance from the government while living in state-owned apartments in a guarded enclave, says the Yemeni embassy in Washington.
President Saleh, a Shiite, has been eager to demonstrate goodwill toward the Jews. On the Passover holiday, he invited TV crews to videotape families in the government complex as they feasted on lamb he had ordered.
Raida became the last redoubt of Yemeni Jews, who continued to lead a simple life there alongside Muslims.
Ancient stone homes dot the town. Electricity is erratic; oil lamps are common. Water arrives via truck. Most homes lack a TV or a refrigerator. The cell phone is the only common modern device. Some families receive financial aid from Hasidic Jewish groups in Brooklyn and London, which has enabled them to buy cars.
Typically, the Jewish men are blacksmiths, shoe repairmen or carpenters. They sometimes barter, trading milk and cow dung for grass to feed their livestock. In public, the men stand out for their long side curls, customarily worn by observant Jewish men. Jewish women, who often marry by 16, rarely leave home. When they do, like Muslim women, only their eyes are exposed.
It is bewildering to me when people question the need for a Jewish Homeland. The Jews have been persecuted for centuries. Since the Roman era diaspora. Christian purges, Czarist pogroms, Islamic expulsions. The Holocaust of Nazi Germany. Jews are forever the scapegoat for the inadequacies, incompetence and criminal acts of the elite.
Yet, today, people question the need for a homeland wherein the Jews can defend themselves and live with dignity. A place where the Jewish people can live without fear. A place where a future as a Jew is possible.
Palestine is a fiction. There was never a Palestine in history except as a Roman province. The name itself comes from the Roman language. The Romans dubbed the area Palestine as an affront to the Jews. Palestine is the Roman transliteration of the word Philistine. Thus, the Romans named the area once known as Judea after the ancient enemy of the Kingdom of Judea. Jews have had a constant presence in the area for thousands of years. They have been present in the Levant since the time of the ancient Kingdoms of Assyria and Babylonia and the ancient Persian Kingdoms. Alexander's Generals and historians wrote of the Jews there. The Romans conquered them there.
Then came the Muslim Empire. The great and bloody Empire of Islam.
Islam conquered the area and forced mass conversion on the inhabitants of the region. Well, technically the didn't force conversion. You had choices. Flee. Become a slave. Pay a hefty tax called the Jizya. To avoid all of these choices, one had merely to convert. State three times the words "there is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his Prophet." Yes, many people "chose" to convert to Islam. And what a choice it was.
Today, all across the Muslim world, Jews are second or third class citizens. They are treated poorly. Subject to rules and regulations and the whims of a mostly illiterate populace. Antisemitism is on the rise across the globe. Especially in Europe and the Arab lands.
The Arabs like to say that Israel is a guilt price for the actions of Europe during World War II.
And perhaps there is some truth to that.
Even so, the Jews have paid their own blood price for that land. When Israel declared independence in 1948, the Arabs attacked. Killing thousands of Jews and proclaiming that they would drive the Jews into the sea. The Jews fought back and held off that bloody calamity. The Arabs maintained a steady war of attrition for the next 30 to 40 years. Attacking at the borders. Raiding across the border and murdering families and communities much like the bloodletting and rockets that the Palestinians and Hezbollah plan and execute today. In 1956, 1967 and 1973, the various Arab factions have pursued outright war against Israel by closing the straits and bottlenecking the Red Sea, by bombarding the country with artillery and build ups on the borders of Israel and by outright attacking as Sadat did in the '73 October War.
Yet, through it all, Israel has survived. They've had the assistance of the US at times. Their enemies have also had assistance. The Soviets paid for most of the militaries of Egypt and Syria. The Army that attacked Israel in 1973 was "mentored" by Soviet "advisers." Soviet pilots were shot down in combat action in the '73 war.
These are things that the opponents of Israel will deny or claim inconsequential.
Israel has always existed in one form or another. Most of the land that comprises Israel was owned by Jews in 1948. This land was purchased from the Arabs who owned the land. Most of the business in Israel in 1948 was Jewish owned. The Arabs who lived in the area in 1948, moved there because of developments created by the Jewish immigrants to the area.
I have been to Israel. What is striking about the region is that Israel is much like a mini-European country in a vast wasteland. Exit Israel and enter Egypt or Jordan or Syria. You enter a time warp. As if traveling back to the Ottoman Empire. If Israel were to fail as a nation, this is the same fate that awaits the land. It will corrupt and fall into disuse and neglect. This is why the Arabs want it? The people of Israel took a barren wasteland and made it into a paradise. The Arabs simply let the wasteland stand as it is.
I do not support the creation of a Palestinian State. Never do I think this should happen. A Palestinian State would be nothing more than another Islamic Despotism wherein the people are kept illiterate and a few corrupt leaders in the mold of Yassar Arafat will enrich themselves at the expense of the masses. The Arabs of Palestine would do better to make their own treaty. Expel the thugs of the PLA, Hamas and FATAH and make their own treaty with Israel. Create a non-religious state and live side by side with Israel in peace. Either as an autonomous region or a City-State along the lines of the Vatican. Live in peace with their neighbors and let religion be no issue at all.
Israel is the only beacon of light in the darkest region of the Planet. In almost every country that claims Islam as it's dominant religion, the people are merely slaves to the whims of despotism and tyranny.
Israel should be supported by all democracies and all liberal peoples. The PLA and the other groups that keep this war going should be international pariahs. Iran, Saudi Arabia and any other country who supports these groups should be ignored.
But, of course, oil makes that impossible. America, China, Europe and India will kiss the feet of the Arab oil men of the Middle East and ignore the real injustice of the region. And the despots of the Arab Nations will forever use Israel as the scapegoat for their corruption to avert the eyes of their illiterate masses away from the real enemies that are the leaders of their own nations.
Send 'em up, I'll wait!
In addition to communicating with the local Air Traffic Control facility, all aircraft in the Persian Gulf AOR are required to give the Iranian Air Defense Radar (military) a ten minute 'heads up' if they will be transiting Iranian airspace. This is a common procedure for commercial aircraft and involves giving them your call sign, transponder code, type aircraft, and points of origin and destination. I just flew with a guy who overheard this conversation on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai
The conversation went like this…
Iranian Air Defense Radar: 'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'
Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'
Air Defense Radar: 'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'
Aircraft: 'This is a United States Marine Corps FA-18 fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'
Air Defense Radar: Absolute silence
I don't know the veracity of this story. Nonetheless, it's a great story.
McCain wins Missouri!
Yeay! Who cares?
Fox news ran this story constantly today. Why?
And that blonde girl Natalie Holloway story is back. I feel for the girls family but why is this national news. A rich girl went to Aruba and was murdered because she couldn't get enough of the bad boys who in this case kinda look like violent nerds from the black trench coat Columbine generation.
If this were an Asian chic who was barely making ends meet and got herself killed, would FOX run the story non-stop. I don't think so.
The real news is the economy. But even there they go on and on and on. Droning until you can't take it anymore. GM, Chrysler and Ford. I own stock in Ford and I think that they will make it through all of this. But if they can't survive without a bail out, they should not survive. Let them die. They've refused to come to terms with the new world. If they can't do so, they deserve to die. I've read that Ford is releasing a hybrid in Europe. Why not release it in America? Lots of people in America who are now hybrid friendly. They should all three be jumping on the hydrogen bandwagon before they get left behind there as well. I don't know if the Unions should be busted or not. But the Unions need to get out of the way of progress and let these companies adapt. No one deserves a free ride.
Obama is saying the right things right now. I'm on a wait and see pattern with Obama. I don't know if I can compare the guy to Lincoln or FDR just yet. He's done nothing. But neither had LIncoln when he came to the the White House.
We'll see.
I'm not committed to the Christian agenda. So I am not as adamantly against him. The gay agenda is silly to me. But I have no dog in that fight. Parents raise your children and give them your example to follow. They'll do the right thing. Hedging your bets by railing against others isn't going to keep your child from being gay. I don't know what will keep them from being gay but I'm certain that the gay marriage issue is not the thing that will prevent it. Marriage is a joke approximately 50% of the time anyway. Marriage protection act. Sure. I'm not buying it. It's the "Christian Abomination Act." Christians pushing their agenda one way and homosexuals pushing in the opposite direction. Get out of each others way and live your lives as you see fit. I'm tired of hearing both sides of this idiotic argument.
Don't even get me started on abortion.
Make your own choices and live with them. If you can't live with them, stay home.
Allahu Akhbar!!!

We have a new Catholic blogger on the block - Karinann of Daughter of the King. She's pretty new and still trying to figure out this "blogging stuff" but seems like she's doing pretty well, so far! Why not give her a visit and welcome her to the Catholic blogosphere?
She also was my first taker for "The Perfect Daybook" entries I'm going to be making sometime over the weekends. My goal is to have at least one perfect day a week. (ha!) Thanks, Karinann for your participation and I'm going to add you on my blogroll. :-)

LINDON — Police are getting help for a family after they say a mother left her disabled children alone for hours while she allegedly committed crimes.
Regina Schneiter, 39, is accused of leaving her 5-month-old baby with Down syndrome in the care of her 11-year-old autistic son for about eight hours on Jan. 6.
Lindon Police Chief Cody Cullimore says Schneiter then went to a Walmart and Target in the area and stole thousands of dollars worth of items.
"Upon being arrested for those thefts we learned that the children had been left alone," Cullimore said.
He says they learned a similar thing happened in the American Fork-Lehi area in December.
Schneiter was booked into the Utah County Jail for investigation of retail theft and child neglect.
"It just appears that for some strange reason, she's decided she needs to commit these crimes," Cullimore said.
The children are now with their father. Cullimore said his officers and DCFS are working with the family.
"It appears this is a family we need to intervene in with everything we can," he said.

Yoga means union. Yoga Spirit is a musical invitation to merge with the divine harmony of existence. Akasha's drums and soft grooves will support your yoga practice by connecting you to the sacred Earth, while soaring Sanskrit chants, bamboo flute and Indian violin will help you to reach high into the inner sky.
"Yoga Spirit by Akasha is an album of timeless mantras, presented in arrangements that meld Eastern instrumentation with Western influences.
The vocals are low pitched with a hushed serenity about them, a little on the order of those of Deva Premal only with more of a whispery quality.
The background instrumentation centers around guitar, with a little sarangi and bansuri flute woven into the mix in spots.The gentle rhythmic nature of the music makes it ideal for activities like yoga (as the name implies), where light movement is performed.
Although, it's worth mentioning that this would also be perfect for someone looking for a little rest and relaxation, with a spiritual edge."

COVID-19 Info: Vaccines | Testing | Visitor Guidelines | Stats | More
Published on February 15, 2017
To protect their health, patients should learn about common heart conditions and their symptoms.
Cone Health Medical Group cardiologist Dalton McLean, MD, has seen more than a few people who mistook symptoms of common but life-threatening heart conditions for something far less serious.
"I've had lots of patients who thought the pain in their chest or upper abdomen was indigestion when it was a heart attack, or who thought they had a cold when their shortness of breath and congestion were due to congestive heart failure," he says.
In some cases, those patients were even misdiagnosed at urgent care centers or by general practitioners who didn't know them well—what McLean calls "fragmented care."
"They've gone through five or six doses of antibiotics treating congestion before they get to a cardiologist and find out they're suffering from atrial fibrillation or congestive heart failure," he says.
That's why McLean says it's important for everyone to know the symptoms of common heart conditions and to have a relationship with a primary care doctor who can monitor your heart health. It's also crucial to know when to call 911. If you or a loved one experience a severe and persistent heavy feeling in the middle of the chest that doesn't go away quickly, weakness in one side, a facial droop, difficulty breathing or a loss of consciousness, McLean says, consider it an emergency and call 911.
Being familiar with these common heart conditions can go a long way to keeping you or a loved one out of an emergency situation.
An abnormal heart rhythm that might feel like a flutter or brief pause. It could cause lightheadedness or a dizzy spell, or it could have no symptoms at all. Atrial fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia, occurs when the atria—the two blood collection chambers of the heart—beat irregularly and too quickly. Symptoms could include rapid thumping, pain or pressure in chest; dizziness and fainting; or sweating, shortness of breath and easily tiring from activity. Resulting blood clots in the atria can lead to other medical problems and increase the risk of stroke.
Occurs when the heart can't fill with enough blood or can't pump blood with enough force to provide oxygen to the body. It's a chronic, progressive condition the symptoms of which include shortness of breath (especially when lying down), swollen feet and ankles, sudden weight gain, fatigue, nausea, lack of appetite, coughing and confusion.
Plaque buildup on coronary artery walls limits blood flow to the heart. Over time, the blood supply to part of the heart muscle is restricted—called atherosclerosis—or a sudden rupture of plaque forms a blood clot blocking blood flow to the heart—called a heart attack. With a heart attack, ischemia leads to severe reduction or complete cutoff of blood flow, oxygen and nutrients, causing damage to or death of part of the heart muscle. Learn more about symptoms of a heart attack.
This sudden stop of the heartbeat, causing loss of consciousness, is triggered by an electrical malfunction in the heart and is also a severe type of arrhythmia. Without treatment, death occurs within minutes. Cardiac arrest often arises after a heart attack, making quick action from those who experience heart attack symptoms very important. Know the symptoms of heart attack and call 911 immediately if you think you're experiencing a heart attack.
This occurs when the force of blood pushing against artery walls is too high. It can develop with age or suddenly because of a medical condition or use of certain medicines. Chronic high blood pressure is symptomless, but it can lead to aneurysms, kidney disease, eye damage, cognitive impairment, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and stroke.
A symptomless condition, wherein too much of the fatty, waxy substance cholesterol is present in the blood, that can lead to coronary artery disease and stroke.
Strokes occur when the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the brain is blocked. Symptoms include sudden weakness; paralysis or numbness of face, arms, or legs; trouble speaking or understanding speech; and trouble seeing. Symptoms are the same for a transient ischemic attack (TIA), also called a mini-stroke, which usually lasts only a few minutes but can persist up to 24 hours. A TIA is often a signal that a person is at risk of stroke, especially within 48 hours after a TIA.
In this disease, plaque builds up in leg arteries and affects blood flow in legs, which causes pain, cramping, numbness, or aching or heaviness in legs, feet and buttocks after walking or climbing stairs.
What can you do to avoid experiencing these symptoms and common heart conditions? Keep tabs on your health.
"Make sure you're seeing a primary care doctor, checking your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, getting regular exercise, eating well, avoiding obesity and not smoking," McLean says. "Also, get screened for diabetes, and, if you're over 50 and don't have problems with bleeding, consider taking a daily baby aspirin."
McLean also says it's important to know if you might be genetically predisposed to early-onset coronary artery disease. And, if you already have heart disease, stay on top of your medications and follow up regularly with your cardiologist.
When it comes to heart health, patients' biggest fears are becoming incapacitated by a stroke or dying from a heart attack, McLean says.
"Those fears are not overblown if you don't do anything about it," McLean says. But if you take preventive steps, know what to look for and get good consistent medical care, he adds, "chances are you can be treated and be stable."

but the practical part resisted by the flesh. Nevertheless, Luke ix. 23, He said unto them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me ; (Luke ix. 23.) and, whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. (Luke xiv. 27.) Are you denying yourself? mortifying the flesh? Consider the point; perhaps you never did yet.
2dly, In sufferings. Besides inward self-denial, the Christian must expect external tribulation. Yea, doubtless, I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things. These are they that have come out of great tribulation. Now, in all this we have the comfort of following Christ. He went before you, endured more than you can.
But, 3rdly, his sheep follow Him to glory: and here consider each word. Life: To a condemned criminal a free offer of mercy and life; this your case--a poor lifeless creature, gasping for breath; live ; this your case. Eternal : O, that word ! The things that are seen are temporal; if you could but once, in some degree, feel the differ
Eternal life: glory; 0, how would the due reception of the thought lift us above!
Are you suffering for Christ? It is a faithful saying; for if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him. (2 Tim. ii. 11, 12.) I give, &c.: and when you consider the greatness of the thing, you must feel that it can only be given : never bought! Selfrighteous person, did you ever compare the ex
ceeding greatness of the heavenly gift with your fancied merits, ?-1 give; it is Christ's to give. (John xvii. 2.) As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. The blessed purchase of his sufferings. Now then, worldling, compare masters : The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life. But yet observe, I give them ; they enter upon it even now,—grace and glory.
-What is eternal life? This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. (John xvii, 3.)
They shall never perish, Consider the awful word, die eternally ; consider, believer, what you are saved from ; the wrath of God-exclusion from Him—the company of the damned. Believer, thou shalt never perish. We cannot, here, know who are God's; therefore we sometimes see those fall away, whom we thought highly of. But they went out from us, because they were not of us.
Take care how you apply the doctrine : if you use it to continue in sin, you show that you are not even now Christ's. If you use it to banish care, you are in great danger. Not like S. Paul, Lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast-away. No, the proper use of the doctrine is this : " While I am kept looking to Christ, and hanging on him, nothing can separate me from him; Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord, while thus kept."
Neither shall any pluck them out of my hand. Not man. Not the devil; by craft, or subtilty: tempt he may; but He is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, &c. What! Pluck you out of the hands of Christ ? Shall he lose the reward of his sufferings ? Did he not rescue the believer from Satan, at his death? Did he not, when you were wandering and lost in the wilderness of this world and of sin, come to seek you? You can perhaps remember the gracious providences ;—and lay your band on them, &c. Was there joy in heaven then, and shall there be grief now? No. Only keep you following Christ, and you shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck you out of his hand.
Mildenhall, April 21st, 1822.
1 Cor. xv. 22.-For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all
be made alive.
I go up to Calvary see three crosses -- one especially the object of hatred and derision. In general public punishment does away all evil feelings. Not so here.-Crowned with thorns, mocked by high and low, by the thieves themselves.
I ask one of the weeping women, " Who is this ? and what has he done?"
He went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil. (Acts x. 38.) The blind received their sight, and the lame walked, the lepers were cleansed, the dead were raised up, and the poor had the gospel preached to them. (Matt. xi. 5.) The Spirit of the Lord was upon him: he sent him to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, to set at liberty them that were bound, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke iv. 18, 19.) We trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel. (Luke xxiv. 21.)
I stand, and gaze, and wonder!
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani ? Follow with the women to the grave, and see where he is laid.
What shall we say to these things? How explain them? By the text, which is suitable for the day. God make us to feel it !-God entered into covenant with Adam. What are the terms of that covenant? Obey and live, eat and die. He ate and died : and, in him, as the text teaches, all his posterity.
A nobleman is attainted, &c. Adam lost his honour, as son of God :· So God created man in his own image; in the image of God created he him. (Gen. i. 27.) And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image. (Gen. v. 3.) See a man impoverishing his family.
So Adam. Happiness here, and hope of glory. Esau could not transmit the birth-right which he had sold.
Man transmitting disease. So Adam. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? (Job xiv. 4.) Soul and body poisoned by the fruit. See what a frail mortal body, and heir to how many miseries, we inherit. But look at the soul: here the true death that we die in Adam. Dead to God, without any feeling of His presence.
Is it not an awful thing to have the eye of a holy God always upon us, upon our lives and hearts ? How do you feel if a person detects one of your secret sins; how would you, if he should be a witness not only to actions and words, but to thoughts, for one day ? See Psalm cxxxix. And then think of a man-of yourself— living in perfect unconcern of this holy Being.
Man is asleep; awake him. Ah, he is dead, without any feeling of the goodness of God; cold to all offers of mercy; hard and dead. Tell him of the happiness of having God for his friend; of the glories of heaven ; of the things which
eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, but which God hath prepared for them that love Him. (1 Cor. ii. '9.) He has no ear, no eye, no life. Lament to him of his degraded state; that the glorious features of God are effaced; the beauty of holiness gone. As well lament to a dead body the loss of its beauty.
When the body dies, all'is not over at once. Corruption goes on. But this is only the beginning of death.
Thus much of it you see; but sacred Scripture leads further, speaks of eternal death. Then shall

Representatives from colleges and universities visit Gateway Science Academy during the school day to give presentations about their schools and to meet GSA students and answer their questions. These visits are held in College & Career Composition classes. Most of these visits take place during September and October.
In previous years GSA students had the opportunity to meet with College Reps from:
- University of Missouri – Saint Louis
- Harris Stowe State University
- Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
- Ranken Technical College
- Fontbonne University
- Missouri Western State University
- Saint Louis Community College
- Saint Louis College of Pharmacy
- University of Missouri
- State Technical College of Missouri
- Truman State University
- Lindenwood University
- Saint Louis University
- Missouri Western State
- Webster University
- Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville
- Southeast Missouri State University
- ROTC – Army
Why are College Rep Visits Important?
Attending a college rep visit is also a good way for a student to gain information about a school he is potentially interested in to see if it would be a good fit for him. This is one way of building or narrowing a college list to decide which schools to visit and ultimately to which to apply.
Students have a chance — in their own town — to meet face-to-face with a rep and ask specific questions.
In many cases, the reps are admission officers from the college, so students have a unique opportunity to make contact with a person who may be evaluating their application in the future. Many colleges keep track of any contact the student has made with the college and factor this into the admission decision because it shows that the student is serious about attending the school if admitted.
Students can let the college know they are seriously interested.
The meeting provides students with a specific contact at the college to whom they can send questions.
Presentations at GSA are more private and interactive than the atmosphere of large college fairs where students move from table to table directing quick questions to a multitude of college representatives.
Sometimes reps, particular ones from state universities, will give an early read on students' transcripts, test scores, and course selections during their visits. This helps students assess their fit at that institution and figure out what they can do to improve their chances of getting in.

(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) Mohammad bin Salman deputy crown prince of Saudi Arabia arrived in Islamabad on Sunday to seek Pakistan's support in its ongoing diplomatic spat with Iran. He was the second high-profile Saudi visitor in less than three days: earlier this week Saudi Foreign Minister Adel bin Al-Jubeir met with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and other Pakistani officials in an attempt to garner Islamabad's backing against Tehran. Upon his arrival Bin Salman -- who also holds the post of Saudi deputy prime minister and defense minister -- held a 90-minute meeting with Pakistan's powerful army chief Gen. Raheel Sharif after which he met with the prime minister. According to Pakistani officials however the whirlwind meetings failed to convince Islamabad to change its neutral stance in the ongoing row between the two regional giants. "Our policy is clear. We will stay neutral in the heightening tension between the two Muslim states" a senior foreign ministry official who insisted on anonymity told Anadolu Agency. "Although we condemn Iranian interference in the internal affairs of Saudi Arabia including its reaction to Sheikh [Nimr Baqir] al-Nimr's execution still we will not be part of any military offensive against any country in the region" the official said. The execution last week by the Saudi authorities of prominent Shia cleric Nimr Baqir al-Nimr sent shockwaves across the region and has since led to the rupturing of Saudi-Iranian diplomatic relations. In addition Riyadh -- a key defense and economic partner of Islamabad -- has long been calling for Pakistani support in its ongoing military campaign against Iranian-backed Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen. Pakistan however has declined to comply saying it prefers to safeguard its own regional interests and focus on its own military campaign against the ongoing Taliban insurgency. Pakistani Foreign Affairs Adviser Sartaj Aziz for his part has offered to play a "mediatory role" between Riyadh and Tehran at an "appropriate time". While Pakistan supports a 34-nation Saudi-led "anti-terrorism" alliance it has said its participation would be restricted to intelligence-sharing and research. Local analysts for their part see Islamabad's policy of neutrality on the simmering Iran-Saudi crisis as the "best option". "This is the best option in light of the circumstances" Islamabad-based political analyst Atif Manzoor Butt told Anadolu Agency. "Unlike Saudi Arabia or Iran Pakistan isn't an overwhelmingly Sunni or Shia country" he said. "Pakistan is home to both Sunnis and Shias and therefore can't be a party to sect-based alliances."

Monmouth U. names provost, VP of academic of affairs
- Moriarty is an academic leader in the field of criminal justice with a focus on victim's issues. She is the author/co-author or editor/co-editor of eight scholarly books and numerous academic journal articles.She is the past president of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, and a 2013 recipient of the ACJS Founders Award for outstanding contributions to criminal justice education.
- Moriarty received her bachelor's and master's degrees from Louisiana State University, and her Doctor of Philosophy degree from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas
- Moriarty said she hopes to identify new revenue streams and school stature by creating niche programs.
WEST LONG BRANCH – Monmouth University's new provost, who reports for duty Sept. 2, is a criminal justice scholar from Virginia whose lengthy career includes time spent understanding crime victims and their experiences in the criminal justice system.
But when she is not editing or writing on victimology, Laura J. Moriarty said she hopes to identify new revenue streams and increase the school's stature through creation of special niche programs.
Monmouth University President Paul R. Brown named Moriarty as provost and vice president of academic affairs at the historic college.
Moriarty joins Monmouth University from her post as a tenured professor and vice provost for academic and faculty affairs at Virginia Commonwealth University, a public research university serving more than 30,000 students in Richmond, Virginia.
She will succeed Thomas Pearson, who is stepping down on Aug. 29 after 22 years in the position.
As Monmouth's chief academic officer, Moriarty will have broad responsibility for leading the university's academic life across eight schools and five centers of distinction, school officials said.
"Dr. Moriarty brings tremendous executive leadership experience as a vice provost at VCU," Brown said in a news release. "I have every confidence that she will hit the ground running and help lead Monmouth University to its next levels of success."
Moriarty has more than 25 years of higher education experience; 16 of those have been administrative.
She has held the positions of department chair/director, assistant/associate dean, associate vice provost and vice provost.
Her recent experience at VCU includes participating in the evaluation and implementation of a university-wide strategic plan titled Quest for Distinction.
Monmouth University has embarked on just such a strategic planning process, with final stages expected to be completed in October, according to Brown, who instituted the process.
At VCU, Moriarty oversaw the creation, implementation and approval of entrepreneurial programs centered on professional development that brought new revenue streams to the university.
"The provost must increase private support and support from local, state and federal sources through increased grant and contract activity," Moriarty said in the release.
"There are ample opportunities for Monmouth University to create niche programs that increase revenue and stature," she said.
Moriarty's appointment follows a comprehensive national search involving nearly 70 qualified applicants reviewed by a seven-member advisory panel including faculty members and deans across a number of schools and departments.
Three finalists for the position interviewed on campus, including open meetings with faculty and staff, Brown said.
But Moriarty was the clear choice, Brown said.
"At the end of the process, faculty and staff clearly communicated their choice of Dr. Moriarty for the position of provost and vice president of academic affairs," Brown said.

First published in Progress magazine and on the Huffington Post
The result of the Labour leadership election was hurtful – to pretend otherwise would be untrue. I think the candidate that I supported did a brilliant job – tough though her task was. As Jeremy Corbyn said, Liz Kendall 'absolutely stands up for what she believes in'. Yvette Cooper came out and changed government policy on refugees. Andy Burnham showed he was one of the nicest guys in politics. Congratulations are due to Jeremy Corbyn and his team.
It is horrid losing elections. Internal ones are often more painful. While May's general election result was hard to take, losing within the party for which you have worked your whole adult life is more personal, especially when your very motive for doing so has been brought so firmly into question.
Not content with simply winning, Corbynistas want to rub moderates' noses in it, dishing out advice as if they totally understand the surprise victory. Owen Jones tweeted, 'A thought for New Labour supporters. Turn away from the negativity of your media champions. Come up with a vision. That's how you win.' Such fortune cookie wisdom is always helpful, but hardly necessary.
A period of reflection is needed. Writing this month's editorial was almost heartbreaking. It starts with the words, 'A chapter has closed. The era of New Labour is over.' It is right – obviously – but not without regret. I say this not to show my reluctance to accept this reality but because it did not have to be this way and some of us fear that we risk missing the important lessons that took Labour into government.
But also – to be frank – because it is personal. The last Labour government changed my life in profound ways. No one in my family has ever been interested in politics let alone worked in it. My great-grandfather once wrote to his member of parliament and was granted his request but that is it. Equally, as a child we were hardly loaded; the exact opposite to be precise. But the change ushered in by Tony Blair was palpable. First, the government – I assume we have Harriet Harman to thank for this – changed the rules, allowing single parents to keep the maintenance money and not have it deducted from benefits as it had been before. Real money in our pockets. Second, that government's changes to compulsory competitive tendering meant the GMB was able to win compensation for my mum – then working as a dinner-lady. This in turn paid for us to be able to have our first family holiday. Third, Aim Higher – the then Department for Education scheme – came to my school to dispel myths about free school meal kids being 'more likely to go to prison than university'. And, as a young gay man, I cannot tell you how the changing nature of the law towards LGBT people gave me the confidence to hold my head high. Every change was voted on by parliament and only granted because of a Labour majority in the House of Commons.
So if you ever detect a reluctance to trash the record of the last government, it is real. It gave thousands, if not millions, the opportunity to reach new horizons.
It is also true that this sense of rejection of the moderate and modernising wing of the party is not without historical parallel. Every Labour government has left power with the left of the party claiming the term of office was a letdown. New Labour was no different. Forget that this is just uncomradely, it is simply ridiculous. Even fair critiques should not be used to tarnish the entirety of Labour government successes. It was Hugh Gaitskell who promised to fight, and fight, and fight again, to save the party we love', as the party took a hard-left turn away from the electorate in the 1950s. We must do the same.
What will come next is not easy, nor obvious. But one thing is for certain: it will require a radical shift in how we approach our politics.
It is time for the 'Blairites' – for desperate want of a better word – to take some of their own advice. Dan Jarvis told Progress annual conference on 16 May this year to, 'Remember how you felt when they called Nuneaton, and Vicky Fowler lost. Bottle that feeling and hold it tightly for the next five years.' I was with Vicky the day Liz got 4.5 per cent of the party selectorate and will bottle that feeling forever more.
Progress is here to stay. Moderates and modernisers need a home in Labour. A platform for new ideas. Someone needs to be a bulwark against the bullying and intimidation already channelled towards supporters of the ABC candidates by some on the hard left. Talk of 'virus' in the party should not be tolerated, and definitely not rewarded. We know from when we interviewed him for this magazine in July that Corbyn, 'would never be so intolerant'. The attacks on our organisation and politics over the last five years have ranged from the fair and comradely to the downright untrue and unwarranted. I know Progress cannot carry on as it is. It must change and reach out further. This will be tough. Those who will never be convinced will try and act as judge, jury and executioner. They are not. Change, if real, is neither quick nor painless. My rule for the coming months as we head 'into the unknown' is this: if it is not hurting, it is not working.
Richard Angell is director of Progress

Really, I just couldn't get myself together. Sure, I started strong, working out like a fiend to try to create a Salubrious Bubble to keep any of the local influenza strains (Swine Flu! Norovirus!) that my colleagues and pals are peddling out of my body.
But soon thereafter I found myself just treading water, fighting (unsuccessfully) the urge to go to bed at 9:30pm and the Call of the Critters at 5:30am. Reading snippets of everything. Thinking in that spacey, how-do-I-do-this kind of way that is more akin to the movements of washing machines than forward motion.
First full week back at work, sure. Lots of things to start but deadlines are a few weeks away...plenty of time, right? (The procrastination gene runs strong in me...)
The real culprit? I'm trying to rewrite my NaNoWriMo story. And the editing is taking WAY more brain cells than the writing did...I think because maybe I stopped writing one story halfway through and started another. And, because I've never written anything this long, let alone tried to make sense of it after the fact? Things are messy, the plot, the characters, it's all messy...messy like take-all-the-food-out-of-the-fridge-and-cupboards-and-smash-it-on-the-kitchen-floor kind of messy. And I spend all of this time thinking about what I should do...but there are so many options that I haven't actually settled on one.
I think what will likely happen is that I'll take the first few segments, and then start writing a different story. I'm going to Frankenstein the shit out of this thing. (Is 'to Frankenstein' a verb? Can we make it one?) It's going to take some serious restructuring and chopping and - gads - character development.
But - and I'm going to make it public here - I've promised myself that I won't stop until I end up with something I'm proud of. That is (mostly) finished. That I'm not afraid to show to people.
Hold me accountable, please.
It's gonna happen.
(No bets on the timeline, though.)
In other news? I got a haircut today from a new stylist, and it turned out pretty well. (In one breath she scolded me for shampooing every day, and then suggested I go platinum for the summer. I might be in love.) I got my world rocked by this quartet and this guy, playing a piece that we commissioned. I went out with the girls on two (count 'em, TWO) weeknights this week. I bought books and this program that will likely suck all of the free time out of my free time. I'm starting to get my creative mojo back a little bit, and it feels really good. I started a writing group, and was totally floored by the beauty and the honesty of the writing and the feedback - it's my new favorite thing.
So, even though it's felt like a wash? It's been a pretty good week, looking back.
My five:
1. Text messages. I know, I know, they're killing communication yada yada yada. But I love 'em.
2. Brilliant playing. I'm humbled to be in a room with ensembles who communicate so beautifully without a single word.
3. Heated seats. The new car is da shiz.
(Wait. I don't think anyone says that anymore. It's awesome - you understand that, right?)
4. Trust. Putting my hair in a stranger's hands? Exhilarating.
5. The simple pleasure of a cat curled up on my lap.

Gentle Laser Therapy for Painkillers
Soft laser therapy is a new advanced technology for many problems, such as acne, burns, scars, muscle pain, pigmentation and many others. Mild laser treatment is available in large hospitals, and this is a fairly expensive treatment though it is the best.
Consequently, an innovative and useful curing device b has been invented that almost everyone can afford.
The B-cure device contains clinical soft laser energy in a rechargeable, portable, lightweight and easy-to-use device. It is used to quickly and effectively treat pain, burns, wounds, acne, skin rejuvenation and sports injuries. This is the number one device in the world with the equivalent healing power of fully equipped soft laser machines in hospitals.
The power of a soft b-cure laser allows lasers to penetrate the tissue effectively to relax them. It provides immediate and continuous treatment and provides high quality and fast recovery in a short period of time. Basically, laser devices should be used without eye contact, but this is a unique medical device that can be used without covering the eyes.
The soft laser device contains red and infrared rays of light over the wound or lesions for faster pain relief. This can be useful for treating muscle pain. There are many people who suffer from acute chronic muscle pain. They always try to massage or pain pills in the hands to relieve pain. A long-term treatment with pain relievers can be harmful to other parts of the body, and massage is a very long procedure. bioflex laser therapy may be the solution for them.
Mild laser treatment can be a miracle for the skeleton, tissue pain and injuries. This can be useful for chronic joint inflammation, sports injuries, recent scars, wounds, low back pain, neck pain, elbow pain, Achilles tendon, carpal tunnel syndrome, lymphatic edema and many others.
Pain in the shoulders and neck is a common muscle pain, and many people treat it daily. Soft laser treatment reduces pain and increases muscle strength. When your body absorbs a laser beam, multiple chain reactions occur, such as revitalizing blood flow, stimulating cell activity and intensifying intercellular communication.
The action of the laser beam improves the synthesis of endorphin hormones, which relieves pain. Repairs the wound by increasing the production of collagen and elastin to accelerate blood flow using endothelial cells. This helps heal wounds by activating immunization chain reactions, such as waking up macrophage cells and increasing mast cells.

"I am pleased that at the end of the day we reconciled around the one million figure that we have been talking about," said Khaled al-Faleh after a meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Support for the increase, which had been proposed by Saudi Arabia against objections from Iran, was unanimous, he said.
Saudi Arabia, backed by non-member Russia, has argued that it is time to raise production in order to meet growing demand and appease major consumer countries like the United States, India and China who have complained about a sustained increase in prices since output was cut back from January last year.
"I think it will contribute significantly to meet the extra demand that we see coming in the second half," the Saudi minister said.

No Winner in a Fight Between Joe Eszterhas and Mel Gibson
Players: Mel Gibson, actor who will never live down his DUI incident in 2006; Joe Eszterhas, the screenwriting mastermind who brought you Basic Instinct and Showgirls, who will not let Gibson live down his anti-Semitic comments
Players: Mel Gibson, actor who will never live down his DUI incident in 2006; Joe Eszterhas, the screenwriting mastermind who brought you Basic Instinct and Showgirls, who will not let Gibson live down his anti-Semitic comments
The Opening Serve: Mel Gibson's Maccabee project has garnered a fair share of attention ever since it was announced that Mel Gibson, the guy who used to be known as Mad Max but is now known as the guy who said those really misogynistic and anti-Semitic things on that fateful night in 2006 and his widely-criticized film The Passion of the Christ, said he was going to produce a movie about the Jewish Maccabee revolt in 2nd Century B.C. Yes, all that really happened. Fast forward to Wednesday, when Warner Bros. announced that it was passing on Joe Eszterhas's script. Those in the know told The Wrap's Sharon Waxman that Eszaterhas's script didn't pass the muster, but Eszterhas thought differently and expressed those to Gibson (in a very, very public letter). "Let me remind you of some of the things you said which appalled me," Eszterhas wrote. "You continually called Jews 'Hebes' and 'oven-dodgers' and 'Jewboys.' ... You said the Holocaust was 'mostly a lot of horseshit.'" Eszterhas added, "I've come to the conclusion that the reason you won't make The Maccabees is the ugliest possible one. You hate Jews." You can read the full letter here.
The Return Volley: Since the news broke on Wednesday, Eszterhas has gotten the not-afraid-of-a-spat Anti-Defamation League on his side to condemn Gibson. "Jewish history will be better off without Mel Gibson playing Judah Maccabee," one Rabbi told The Wrap. Gibson responded on Wednesday with a letter of his own. "I would have thought that a man of principle, as you purport to be, would have withdrawn from the project regardless of the money if you truly believed me to be the person you describe in your letter," wrote Gibson. "In 25 years of script development I have never seen a more substandard first draft or a more significant waste of time. The decision not to proceed with you was based on the quality of your script, not on any other factor. I think that we can agree that this should be our last communication." You can find the full letter here. Eszterhas responded in a Today Show appearance, and is claiming he has tapes of Gibson's anti-Semitic rants.
What They Say They're Fighting About: Eszterhas's script and the reason it was rejected. They're blaming this on two different things. Gibson and whoever The Wrap spoke to at Warner Bros. say Eszterhas's script was just bad. Terrible even. Like, badder than 25 years of bad. Eszterhas says his script was rejected because Gibson never had any real intention to go forward with the movie---and that it was something of a way to deflect his bad press.
What They're Really Fighting About: Their images and their pride. Getting your script rejected can't be a good feeling, so why not release a leaky letter that would implicate the people in charge (especially when one of those people in charge has had his very embarrassing anti-Semitic rants on record). Regardless of whether or not everything in the letter is true, Eszterhas is attempting to save face. At the same time, Gibson still can't shake what happened in 2006 off of his record. What's left of his image is at stake here, too.
Who's Winning Now: It's sort of a battle between loathsome vs. loathsomer (is that a word?). And as much as it pains us, we're going to go with Gibson on this one. He has a point. If we're to take everything that Eszterhas wrote as true, then Gibson's pretty despicable. But if that's so, what does that make Eszterhas for working with him so long? Why didn't he quit the project altogether? Why only release the letter after your script is being rejected?

Lands Minister Betty Amongi on Tuesday afternoon laboured to defend herself against accusations of conflict of interest and influence peddling put to her by the Justice Catherine Bamugemereire-led Land Probe Commission.
Time saw Ms Amongi's aura of confidence dwindle as the minister, who earlier in the day showed up at the commission headquarters in Nakasero with the demeanor of one with nothing to fear, by afternoon was struggling to be audible as she answered questions.
The commission's lead counsel Ebert Byenkya bombarded Ms Amongi with evidence connecting her to operations of AMOBET investments Ltd, a company the minister co-owns with her sister.
Ms Amongi's hardest task was convincing the commission that as a majority share holder in the company, she was detached from the running of the company.
In her sworn testimony, Ms Amongi acknowledged ownership of AMOBET together with her sister Katty Adong.
She however maintained that as directors they surrendered full trust of the operations to fellow director Henry Mubiru, who made all the decisions.
However, Mr Byenkya asked Ms Amongi to stop referring to Mubiru as the managing director, he presented her with a document which the minister herself signed as the managing director of the company.
A lot of the commission's questioning of the Lands Minister pertained to whether she used her position to influence the secretariat of the Departed Asians Property Custodian Board to allocate land to AMOBET Investments Ltd.
Amongi, who sits as a member on the board by the virtue of her office as the Lands minister, told the commission that she had never even set foot on any of the properties worth billions of shillings, despite her company owning them.
According to evidence before the Commission, minister Amongi on February 15, 2018 using the Ministry's letter head, wrote to the owner of a disputed property on Plot 29 Acacia avenue-Kololo, Tashak Partel, summoning him to appear at the Ministry of Lands Headquarters, for questioning in relation to forged documents, including a land title and a certificate of re-possession regarding the property.
Its against this background that the commission wondered whether she didn't know that she had personal interest in a matter she was investigating or that the property her company had applied for was among the properties entrusted to her as a minister of Lands and a Member of the Custodian Board.
The Minister in her response indicated that her Company applied for the said property in 2010 before she became minister in 2016.
The evidence before the Commission also shows that the minister, through AMOBET Investments Ltd, applied for several other government properties including Plot 12 at Prince Charles Drive, Plot 15 industrial area and Plot 16 Kyaggwe Kibuga Mengo.
Asked to resign
After more than eight hours of questioning, Ms Amongi had a session to interact with the seven commissioners who advised that the minister resigns her position.
Amongi appeared before the commission after a series of criminal summons issued against her.
The commission chairperson Justice Bamugemereire threatened to order the Inspector General of Government to investigate Ms Amongi.
The minister was also accused of turning herself into a land agent by acquiring government properties through her company, manages them and in turn pays some little money to government as rent. It was noted that AMOBET acquired a property for which it pays rent of Shs500,000 and rented the same property off to Miscommunication Telecom at $9,000 (approximately Shs32 million.)
She is further accused of failing to file returns for her company since its incorporation in 2008 which shows non compliance in terms of tax -payment.
Hearing was adjourned to tomorrow, Wednesday May 9 and the minister was ordered to return to the commission to answer questions in relation to the Land Fund.

Top five financial tips to keep your business healthy
Thanks to Wave Pro Tony Tropeano for writing this survival guide for entrepreneurs and for helping US Wave users to succeed!
Follow these 5 tips to preserve the financial health of your company:
1. Keep detailed records – Start out your entrepreneurial journey right with good, detailed record keeping. Many entrepreneurs only think about ways to make money and neglect keeping good financial records leaving them in a scramble at the end of the year before the tax deadline. There are many free resources available to help you keep detailed records of your income and expenses, including the following:a. Wave Accounting – A free cloud-based bookkeeping software solution. All transactions are synced from your bank account and imported into the software daily. This is very efficient and much quicker than the monotonous task of manually entering every transaction from paper bank statements. It also relieves the tax time stress of scrambling around in January or February trying to determine your income and expenses for the business.b. Podio – A free cloud based project management software with thousands of apps. This software will allow you to choose from several apps from business development, project collaboration/management, CRM and as an intranet. It also has a function that allows you to build your own apps.c. Receipts by Wave – This app is free to download on your Androi or iPhone device and allows you to snap pictures of your receipts to have them inegrated with your accounting system. You can scan and email them if you don't have a mobile device to keep track of all your expenses in the cloud.
2. Comingling funds – If you have only one bank account for business and personal transactions, make sure to use the 'Move to Personal' function in Wave. This will result in accurate financial records and will not cause confusion as to which transactions pertain to the business and which transactions are personal.
3. Tax Strategy – Many wonder as they are in the process of setting up a new business, "what is the difference between an S Corp and an LLC?" You will pay significantly more in tax as an LLC due to self-employment tax. An LLC is a less formal structure, but in the grand scheme of things, you can expect significant tax savings as an S Corp. In other words, you can pay yourself more with an S Corp tax structure.
S Corp vs LLC Illustration.
For example, in 2012, your income was $200,000 and expenses were $100,000. This will result in a net income of $100,000. Under the LLC tax structure, you will pay tax on your taxable income (all business and personal income) and self-employment tax of 15.3% on your net income. The formula is Net income x .9235 x 15.3%. Your self employment tax will be $14,130. The only difference between an S Corp and an LLC is that you will not pay self-employment tax under the S Corp tax structure. Although there is no self-employment tax under the S Corp, you are still required to pay a reasonable salary (payroll taxes will be paid under a salary) if you are profitable. As a general rule, it is a good idea to pay a reasonable salary of 40% of your net income. In the scenario of the company with $100,000 in net income. The company would pay the owner a salary of $40,000. This will result in payroll taxes of $6,120. Typically you would pay approximately another $200 for state unemployment tax and $56 for federal unemployment tax. As a result the total tax paid by the S Corp would be $6,376.
The end result is a tax savings of $7,754.00
4. What if I have an LLC? Do I have to dissolve my LLC and form a new S Corp? You do not have to dissolve the LLC. There are ways to file a late election for an S Corporation even if you file a few years after organizing the LLC. Please consult your CPA for more information on how to start the process.
5. List of typical Entrepreneur marketing expenses – Although this is not an exhaustive list, below I have provided a list of typical expenses for the average business:
- Contract Labor
- Vehicle (actual expenses or mileage if business use is 50% or more of total mileage)
- Merchant account fees
- Commissions
- Bank charges
- Hosting
- Education – professional development and training
- Rent
- Advertising and marketing
- Professional fees – legal, accounting and tax
- Telephone, internet, fax
- Conferences
- Meals and entertainment while conducting business
- Computer and equipment costs
In conclusion, surround yourself with a good solid network of professional advisors, including a CPA, attorney and financial advisor. A CPA will provide several services related to tax and accounting, including tax prep, tax planning, bookkeeping, budgeting, entity restructuring and offering general business advice. An attorney will prepare and review all of your contracts and some attorneys specialize in setting up trusts for asset protection. A financial advisor will help you invest your money through short-term, mid-term investments as well as set you up with a retirement plan. Retirement plans are a good way to not only save for the future, but can provide you with significant tax savings for your business. These professional advisors often work together to accomplish the same goal in mind in protecting you and your business, discovering ways to reduce your tax liability and in preserving and growing your wealth.
