What is Norditropin NordiLet (aka Nordilet)?
Is it a different type of Norditropin, a synthetically developed growth hormone?
Actually, Norditropin NordiLet® is one of several injection devices created by the manufacturer that injects Norditropin into the body.
The Norditropin NordiLet device was designed specifically to be used on pediatric patients, as well as adults who are squeamish of needles.
Its shape is similar to a magic marker.
Like other injectable Norditropin pen products, Nordilet has found popularity with bodybuilders who want to get more out of their work out routines with performance-enhancing substances. Buy HGH-X2 online here.

Norditropin Nordilet is manufactured by Novo Nordisk.
Novo Nordisk is an international and well-known pharmaceutical manufacturer whose headquarters are in Denmark, although their facilities can also be found on five continents and in more than 165 countries.
Novo Nordisk focuses on growth hormone therapy, diabetes management, hormone replacement therapy, management of obesity as well as hemophilia conditions. [1]
The company manufactures a number of growth hormone injection pens for easier administration of growth hormone, but not all are the same. Novo Nordisk produces:
The NordiLet pen device is a pre-filled, multi-dose pen that contains growth hormone. It does use short, fine needles that are invisible to the user.
The device is pressed against the skin for injection, and the needed is injected and retracted without the child or adult ever seeing the needle.
The reason that the pre-dosed and/or multi-dose pens were created was to make the administration of growth hormone for children easier, less stressful, and more precise.
The pre-filled and multiple dose pens simply require the user to dial in the dosage recommended by the physician prior to injection.
No mixing powders and bacteriostatic water, reducing risk or errors in measuring and dosing.
The dosage recommendations for Norditropin are based on weight, the condition being treated, ultimate treatment goals, and of course, on any development of side effects.
If side effects occur, dosages will be lowered or the drug will be discontinued altogether.
The NordiLet pen offers a 10 mg device as well as other devices to provide different milligram strengths or pre-measured dosages, but they're not available everywhere.
For example, when using a 10 mg pre-filled pen-like device, the user would dial a specific dosage in the pen as indicated by their physician, usually a small dose every day six to seven days a week.
An average dose from a Norditropin NordiLet pen averages anywhere from 0.075 mg and up to 4.5 mg, although dosages are adjusted incrementally. A full syringe or cartridge is not to be taken all at once!
Cost of Norditropin NordiLet pen devices depend on where they're purchased.
While most bodybuilders and athletes may find the devices easy to use, they are quite expensive.
Average cost of a 10 mg to 15 mg NordiLet pen can range anywhere from $800 and up to $1,200, with a prescription.
Without a prescription, bodybuilders or athletes might be able to find a Norditropin NordiLet pen device for sale.
But buying from an unregulated source runs the risk of purchasing an expired product, one that has been contaminated, or even counterfeited and containing unknown ingredients.
Growth hormone is one of the most commonly counterfeited products on the black market today.
Any use of growth hormone can trigger a number of side effects and adverse reactions.
This is especially true for individuals using the drug without medical need.
Putting a hormone into the body that it doesn't medically need can trigger a domino effect of disruptions of other hormone secretions and activities that affect multiple organ systems.
The most common side effects associated with Norditropin (NordiLet and other devices) – and even under medical supervision, include but are not limited to:
Localized pain around the injection site, nerve and muscle pain, as well as joint stiffness are common complaints.
When using any form of growth hormone, whether it's the Norditropin NordiLet device or a purchase of growth hormone in powdered form and mixing with some type of sterile water, use caution.
Even at lower dosage ranges and short-term use, growth hormone can trigger a number of long-term side effects and adverse reactions that can take months if not longer to get under control.
Before using the Norditropin NordiLet device or any other type of growth hormone delivery device, do your homework. As always, use caution when purchasing any form of growth hormone online and from foreign sources.Buy GenotropinBuy NorditropinGenotropin BodybuildingGenotropin Growth HormoneGenotropin Side EffectsGenotropin Side EffectsHGH TherapyNorditropin HGH BodybuildingNorditropin NordiletNorditropin PenNorditropin Side EffectsNorditropin SimplexxNutropinNutropin Aq NuspinPfizer Genotropin PenSaizen 8 mgSaizen InjectionSerostim for BodybuildingSerostim HGH

Are you thinking of renovating your bathroom but your budget is limited? Try these options.
Many times renewing the bathroom becomes an impossible mission because of the high prices that usually have the renovations.
However, there are some tricks to renew your bathroom without staying broke.
As you certainly know, the bathroom is one of the most important areas of the house, because of the continuous transit of people. Moreover, it can not only be aesthetically pleasing area but also hygienic and functional. Especially if you have a large family or children.
Over time, it is normal for the elements in the bathroom to deteriorate and for them to be replaced or repaired.
On some occasions, because of our budget, we cannot carry out major works and we are frustrated thinking that it is not possible to renew our bathroom.
There is nothing further from the truth because, as you will see in this article, renewing the bathroom with a reduced budget is possible.
Here you will find 4 low cost ideas to do it and to have a completely new bathroom.
1. Fabrics and accessories are essential
The first idea to renovate your bathroom if you have a particularly tight budget is to start by changing the fabrics.
The curtains (if any), the mat, towels and other accessories such as the towel rack, the set of toothbrush holders, the basket and the brushes.
Changing these elements with others that have a different color or another fantasy will give a new air to your bathroom.
It is a small gesture that will help you get out of monotony without having to waste large amounts of money.
For example, if you want to increase the brightness choose light colors. If you want to communicate elegance, use metallic and glossy finishes and more sober colours.
2. Lighting
Have you never seen each other better in some mirrors than in others? It certainly depends on the mirror, but it also depends a lot on the lighting.
Bathroom lighting is one of the most important aspects, as it is one of the places where we look at each other the most. When we wake up we do a lot of activities in the bathroom, such as brushing our teeth, make-up, combing our hair, etc..
Can you think of how we could go out on the street with bad lighting? With dirty faces, badly combed or with more blush than necessary.
This second idea for renovating the bathroom consists in renewing the lighting.
If you have halogen or incandescent bulbs, change them to LED bulbs. You will also see improvements in your bill.
You can also invest by changing the light points or adding more. The only thing you need to keep in mind is to position these points of light without them creating shadows.
3. Tiles and floor
One of the biggest challenges to renovate the bathroom is deciding to change tiles and floor.
Normally this would be a fairly important renovation that would last for a considerable period of time and would also require a considerable amount of money.
However, nowadays there are cheaper and faster solutions such as special vinyl tiles for the bathroom.
It is a moisture-resistant material that mimics materials such as wood and marble, among others.
In the case of tiles, you can find different models and patterns.
The advantage of renewing the bathroom with this option is its speed, as it is self-adhesive tiles. They are also much cheaper than parquet or ceramic tiles.
Without any doubt, changing the tiles and the bathroom floor with vinyl materials will completely transform it, making it look like you've done a great renovation.
4. Intelligent solutions for bathroom renovation
At the beginning we said that this environment should not only be aesthetically pleasing but also hygienic and functional.
Well, many of the problems we can find in this room of the house have to do with space.
That's right, we want more and more of them. But don't worry because you can always gain extra space.
For example, you can add an additional trolley to place all cleaning products, makeup or hair products there.
If you have a hole under the sink, you can buy or make a custom-made piece of furniture to store your cleaning products.
Keeping everything organized in wicker baskets or boxes is a good option to leave everything tidy but at hand.
With these 4 ideas for renovating your bathroom we have shown that it does not require a great deal of money to transform it.
But don't forget that all bathroom renovations have functionality as their main objective, and only aesthetics as the second.

Louise Redknapp Instagram: Jamie Redknapp's popstar ex flashes 'big knickers'
LOUISE REDKNAPP, who split from ex-husband Jamie Redknapp in 2017, drove Instagram followers wild with a smouldering series of pictures today, flashing her "big knickers" for her 621,000 followers.
Louise Redknapp, 44, put on a sizzling hot display on holiday this afternoon as she donned a bold two-piece for an impromptu photo shoot. The singer could be seen kneeling on a bed, one hand behind her head and one having casually by her side in the first sultry Instagram snap. She ensured her stunning figure was impossible to miss in a black bikini, which comprised go a bandeau top and high-waisted bottoms. The swimsuit highlighted the former Eternal star's slender curves and shapely pins, giving fans a glimpse of her assets in the revealing top.
In the caption, she quipped: "A big knicker day @eres keeping it all in today."
A second shot, which she uploaded to her Instagram story, saw Louise flash a little more as she pulled her hair back from her face, exposing her chest.
The bikini let her ample bust take centre-stage as she smiled coyly off to one side.
"Yassss big pants," she wrote.
The Stretch singer appeared to go makeup-free in the photos, allowing her natural beauty to shine through.
Fans flocked to the comments section to compliment her on the smouldering uploads.
Louise Redknapp: Jamie Redknapp's popstar ex sent fans into meltdown
Louise's pal and former 9 to 5 The Musical co-star Amber Davies, 22, gushed: "Wowie."(sic)
One fan praised: "It does not matter what you wear lady you still look damn good."
"Amazing photo Louise and you look so stunning as always," a second chipped in, while a third added: "Wow so beautiful and sexy."
The blonde beauty is currently on holiday with her two sons Charley, 15, and Beau,10, who she shares with her ex-husband Jamie Redknapp, 45.
The couple split in 2017, finalising their divorce in December that year.
They had been married for 19 years.
Yesterday, Louise Redknapp flashed her cleavage in another boob-baring Instagram display.
Parading her figure in a second black bikini, she highlighted her assets whilst drawing yet more attention to her toned midriff.
On her Instagram story today, Louise also shared two sweet selfies, one with each of her children.
The first showed her smiling alongside her teenage son Charley, while the second saw Beau resting his arm lovingly around his mum's neck.

Posted on June 04, 2014
Possibly inspired by Mad Men, the pocket square, just a folded-up handkerchief in silk or linen, is back. In fact, it's so popular, Esquire declared the pocket square too popular, and thus unfashionable.
That's going a little far. Pocket squares are another manly tool to:
If you're wearing a cheaper linen handkerchief, you might even consider using it to blow your nose. But never silk. Let's get that out of the way first.
As you might have deduced, there are two primary pocket square materials: silk and linen. Silk generally goes better with dark suits, in colder times. Linen is better for summer outfits, especially lighter colors. The biggest factor in pocket square material is texture.
As Cad & The Dandy writes, if you're wearing a sleek silk tie, go with linen. If you've wearing a wool tie and tweed suit, silk is the better option. No tie? Silk.
One misconception about pocket squares is that they should "match" your tie. Please, coordinate is the better term. Find a common color in both. And, for the love of fashion, don't buy a tie with a matching pocket square. That's just dorky. Like matching ties and shirts, make sure the pocket square and tie don't share similar patterns. In fact, you can even use a shared color between your handkerchief and your shirt, if your shirt is louder than your tie. If you're dressing conservatively, just use white.
Speaking of conservative dressing, the fold matters too. Don't be dorky again and buy a pre-folded pocket square.
If you really like Mad Men, you probably want to re-create their pocket square fold, known as the "TV Fold." This is the most conservative choice. Valet provides good instructions to fold a TV fold pocket square:
But, as A Suitable Wardrobe decries, the TV fold is the "refuge of the insecure." Go ahead and be bold with a puffed pocket square. Known as "crushing," Men's Flair demonstrates picking up a handkerchief, inverting it, then stuffing it in your pocket.
Art of Manliness made a useful video about all three folds mentioned:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2gIENStLJg[/youtube]
The third option is a compromise between the two, the "one corner fold." Bring opposite ends together, make a triangle. Then bring the two bottom corners toward each other until they meet each others' sides. I'll let Art of Manliness finish the directions to fold a triangle pocket square:
The first time you wear a pocket square, you'll fidget with it. This will draw unnecessary attention to it, much worse than the positive attention paid to the extra bit of contrast in your suit pocket. Carry on, eventually, your suit will feel naked without one. Heck, even crazy dictators wear them:

Money talks. Apparently, so does peer pressure.
In just the last week, I've seen all kinds of evidence that both are going to be key to healthcare's acceptance of certain technologies and for patient's engagement in their own care.
Beyond the obvious example of Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments for "meaningful use" of electronic health records, consider the following recent developments:
- In Australia, specialists will receive fifty percent bonuses on top of regular fees for telehealth consultations starting July 1, while general practitioners will see thirty-five percent fee increases when they monitor the patient side of a remote consultation, reports eHealthspace.org. In addition, each GP will get a one-time payment of A$6,000 ($6,375) for their first telehealth case. That's some serious cash.
- GE Healthcare is offering a $20,000 donation to the Red Cross or Red Crescent society in one country to whichever continent produces the most tweets about fitness and healthy living. The Get Fit campaign, aimed at cancer prevention, asks people from all over the world to tweet their advice with a country-specific Twitter hashtag, such as #getfit_usa for the U.S. or #getfit_ind for India.
- This week, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center announced that it would incorporate Twitter into a new program called Trauma Team Texting (T3) to encourage real-time communication and coordination of care between patients, their families and their caregivers. "Tweeting as an integral part of the communication between patients and their families and healthcare givers can have a huge impact on improving the patient experience," said UPMC Medical Director Dr. Tony DiGioia in a press release. "As it engages all these groups in the design and delivery of healthcare, this popular cutting-edge communications technology will go a long way toward helping health professionals view care through the eyes of the patient and the family, a culture change we have been pursuing for years." UPMC is developing the program with the help of an Always Events grant from the Picker Institute in Camden, Maine.
- I recently came across this TechCrunch TV interview with Adam Bosworth about the failings of the Google Health personal health record (a project he led prior to launch) and his current company, Keas, which produces a PHR that incorporates care plans. "They basically offered a place to store data," he said of Google's mistake. "Our data shows people don't really want a place to store data per sé. They want to do something fun and engaging. If it's not fun, if it's not social, why would they do it?" Bosworth said that people are more likely to practice healthy behaviors when they have reinforcement from others. He claims to have lost twenty-two pounds in eighteen weeks by walking four miles each way, four times a week, to and from his downtown San Francisco office -- thanks, in no small part, to the encouragement he received from checking in on Keas. Keas, like so many other PHRs, doesn't exactly have a big user base, but at least now someone has an idea of what it should take to get people interested.
If you don't think online communities and peer pressure are important, then you didn't read any of the glowing obituaries — like this one in The Guardian — for Dr. Ann McPherson, one of the founders of interactive patient sites HealthTalkOnline and YouthHealthTalk, which are hugely popular in the U.K. McPherson, 65, who died May 28th of pancreatic cancer, effectively made the case for health 2.0 as early as 2001, long before that phrase ever existed, with HealthTalkOnline's predecessor site, DIPEx.
Today, the not-for-profit that runs HealthTalkOnline and YouthHealthTalk has the support of British celebrities like actor Hugh Grant and musician Thom Yorke, but more importantly, it has an engaged user base. Why? Because it offers people the support they want for dozens of serious medical conditions and answers to important lifestyle questions — in plain English, not medicalese.

Description for this category of people are.. You see damn chunted face or body of a supposingly damn chun girl, and that makes most of the guy's to click it and then straight away request them to be their friends. Without even noticing the odds which are them having a guy's name.
Okay okay, example okay.. I give damn chunted face girl. Really damn chun but i think is photo shopped and obviously it did not belong to the owner of the fb account.
Nice and pretty right. Drool all you want people and imma be nice and give youthe link so that you all imainative people can add "her"
Might be a tranny and i am not promoting her, so do not come back and sue me fer anything misbehaviour wtf between you and "her" okay.
By the way, "her" name is Alex Tham.
*jeng jeng jeng*
i credit *er er er* Alex Tham?Facebook? You get the drift.
I don't think this needs much explanation cause the title just said it all! Unless you all duno whats hentai, just leave me a comment below, i will be so glad to explain in detail for you.
Usually this kind of people, will try to take either "i'm still handsome and young" pictures by posing in front of the webcam and used the really lousy webcam to take that unseenable/unclear pictures of themselves, under really dim lights, and if by one glance, we thought that it's some damn chun guys. Then when you check their friend list, you will notice that outta that 1564 friends they got, 1563 are females(real chun ones) and the one left is probably some hentai friend who wants to share fame like that wtf.
this isn't what i want to potray here but his face really got the Hentai Om Om look wtf with the smirl face and the cigrattes and all.
And his friends are all total random and no whatsoever link between em and he only add my pretty friends wtf!
Even his name sounds like he is some immigrant from Indon or something.
This guy is the most Hentai Om Om in my list.
To my frequent readers, i am sure that you saw my previous rant about a guy named Roy Lee who spammed my inbox and chat box at facebook twice in half an hour time. When i check his profile, 90% girls okay. Then got like 438 something friends and he claims to me that he got no friend wtf.
You all pussies feel free to add him if you all are horny cause i think he needs it. He says he is lonely. LOL.
I don't think he is gay okay if you were to look closely at the picture.
This is widely known okay. Some people just cant be and arse to put up pictures but they got like 15734 friends like that for and how they get that, it will always remain as a secret, an unknown fact.
I don't even need to put up pictures here cause there aren't any!!
You know the normal blue icon facebook when you took down your facebook display picture. Yea that one.
one of the many many examples.
My conclusion is that there are just so many people on this earth with really weird issues and thinking and dressing and they way they talk, their hair colors, their rate of lameness and many more. You can't just say yes to all of em cause you will suffer at the end of the day and you surely cant simply decline cause they might be of good use and you will never know right?
I approve everyone and i think i should change the way i do things too,

Surfing lessons during summer vacation sound like the ultimate experience when visiting the beach; unless a severe collision between the surfer's face and the board occurs, knocking out or chipping teeth. What a way to ruin a vacation. Whether it's a sporting mishap, an auto or bicycle accident, or a serious fall, a dental injury can occur when least expected. Anytime a permanent tooth is knocked-out or dislodged (when a tooth has been partly pushed into or out of its socket, or sideways) it should be treated as a dental emergency.
Injured teeth require immediate attention from a dentist or endodontist, a dentist who specializes in treating traumatic dental injuries. The first thirty minutes after injury can mean the difference between saving a tooth or losing it. An endodontist can determine treatment options after an exam. The exam will also determine if any adjacent teeth are also injured.
After a dental injury occurs, it's important to discuss with your dentist the following practices*:
- Collect the tooth, or tooth fragments, touching only the crown, never the root.
- If there is dirt or debris on the tooth, ask your dentist if you should rinse it gently in lukewarm water for a few seconds only. **Do not scrub it!
- Consult with your dentist if you should insert the tooth back into its socket, holding it in place with gauze, which may also help control bleeding.
- Use an ice pack or something cold to control pain until reaching the endodontist.
Vacation, business trip, or at home, no matter the location, find an endodontist as soon as possible after a dental injury occurs. Because endodontists specialize in emergency dental situations, most have flexible scheduling and even weekend appointments available.

Distinctly human: Kangaroos
It is often said that only humans develop Parkinson's. It is a distinctly human condiiton, and this is true (at the time of publishing this post).
But there are interesting Parkinson's-related observations in the animal world that could tell us something about this 'very human' condition. We have previously highlighted reports of this nature (Click here for an example).
Recently Australian researchers have reported the accumulation of the Parkinson's-associated protein alpha synuclein in the brains of kangaroos, after they ate a particular type of grass (phalaris pastures plants) which is toxic for them.
In today's (short) post, we will discuss what the report found, look at what the plants contains, and consider what this could mean for our understanding of Parkinson's.
Source: SanDiegoZoo
The first interesting fact about kangaroos in today's post: They are predominantly left handed
Researchers published a study in 2015 reporting that while most four legged marsupials show no preference between their limbs, kangaroos are very left handedness (Click here to read the report)
Source: Cell
This finding is interesting as it could tell use much about our own handedness preference (Click here to read more about this).
Ok, interesting. But what on Earth does this have to do with Parkinson's?
Ah, well that's where we come to the second interesting fact about kangaroos in today's post:
Recently a really interesting research report was published that presented several rather amazing findings.
The researchers forced dopamine-producing cells in a rodent brain to start making a protein called neuromelanin and by doing this, they witnessed the occurence of Parkinson's-like features (motor issues, Lewy body-like structures, and cell death).
The report also suggested a method by which this outcome could be reduced or rescued.
But the amazing part is that neuromelanin was previously considered to be protective and this new finding suggests we may need to rethink that idea.
In today's post, we will discuss what neuromelanin is, what this new report found, and how this new knowledge could be useful in the context of Parkinson's.
Prof Heiko Braak. Source – Memim.com
This is Prof Heiko Braak.
Many years ago, he sat down and examined hundreds of postmortem brains from people with Parkinson's.
He had collected brains from people who passed away at different stages of the condition, and was looking for any kind of pattern that might explain where and how the disease starts. His research led to what is referred to as the "Braak staging" model of Parkinson's – a six step explanation of how the condition spreads up from the brain stem (the top of the spinal cord) and into the rest of the brain (Click here and here to read more about this).
The Braak stages of PD. Source: Nature
Braak found that certain populations of cells in the brain were more vulnerable to Parkinson's than others, such as the dopamine neurons in a region called the substantia nigra, the noradrenergic neurons of the locus coeruleus, and the neurons of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (don't worry about what any of those names actually mean, I'm just trying to sound smart and make you think that I know what I'm taking about).
One feature that all of these populations of neurons all share in common – in addition to vulnerability to Parkinson's – is the production of pigment called neuromelanin.

York: #Parkinsons2018
On the 12th and 13th November, Parkinson's UK held their biennial research conference in York.
It is not only an opportunity for the charity to showcase some of the research that they have funded over the last few years, but it was also a chance for members of the Parkinson's research community to come together to share ideas, network and form new collaborations.
I was lucky enough to attend the event this year, and wanted to share some of the take away messages from the conference with the readers.
In today's post, we will review Parkinson's UK 2018 research conference (#Parkinsons2018).
Parkinson's UK is the largest Parkinson's research and support charity in the United Kingdom. Since 2015, they have invested over £18 million in a variety of research projects focused on all aspects of Parkinson's – from new experimental treatments to the Parkinson's UK Brain Bank.
Every two years, Parkinson's UK holds a conference highlighting some of the research that the organisation has funded over the last few years. The meeting is usually held in the beautiful walled city of York – lots of history and narrow streets to explore.

O'mice an' men – gang aft agley
This week a group of scientists have published an article which indicates differences between mice and human beings, calling into question the use of these mice in Parkinson's disease research.
The results could explain way mice do not get Parkinson's disease, and they may also partly explain why humans do.
In today's post we will outline the new research, discuss the results, and look at whether Levodopa treatment may (or may not) be a problem.
The humble lab mouse. Source: PBS
Much of our understanding of modern biology is derived from the "lower organisms".
From yeast to snails (there is a post coming shortly on a snail model of Parkinson's disease – I kid you not) and from flies to mice, a great deal of what we know about basic biology comes from experimentation on these creatures. So much in fact that many of our current ideas about neurodegenerative diseases result from modelling those conditions in these creatures.
Now say what you like about the ethics and morality of this approach, these organisms have been useful until now. And I say 'until now' because an interesting research report was released this week which may call into question much of the knowledge we have from the modelling of Parkinson's disease is these creatures.
You see, here's the thing: Flies don't naturally develop Parkinson's disease.
Nor do mice. Or snails.
Or yeast for that matter.
So we are forcing a very un-natural state upon the biology of these creatures and then studying the response/effect. Which could be giving us strange results that don't necessarily apply to human beings. And this may explain our long history of failed clinical trials.
We work with the best tools we have, but it those tools are flawed…
What did the new research report find?

Journal: Science, 07 Sept 2017 – Early online publication
The researchers who conducted this study began by growing dopamine neurons – a type of cell badly affected by Parkinson's disease – from induced pluripotent stem (IPS) cells.
What are induced pluripotent stem cells?
The Melanoma drug from MODAG
A build up of a protein called alpha synuclein inside neurons is one of the characteristic feature of the Parkinsonian brain. This protein is believed to be partly responsible for the loss of dopamine neurons in this condition.
A similar build up of alpha synuclein is also seen in the deadly skin cancer, Melanoma… but those cells don't die (?!?)… in fact, they just keep on dividing.
Why is there this critical difference?
In today's post we look at an interesting new study that may have solved this mystery.

Parkinson's disease has a very strange relationship with the skin cancer melanoma.
As we have stated in previous posts (Click here, here, here and here to read those posts) people with Parkinson's disease are 2-8 times more likely to develop melanoma than people without Parkinson's (And this finding has been replicated a few times: Olsen et al, 2005; Olsen et al, 2006; Driver et al 2007; Gao et al 2009; Lo et al 2010; Bertoni et al 2010;Schwid et al 2010; Ferreira et al, 2010; Inzelberg et al, 2011; Liu et al 2011; Kareus et al 2012; Wirdefeldt et al 2014; Catalá-López et al 2014; Constantinescu et al 2014; Ong et al 2014).
The truly baffling detail in this story, however, is that this relationship is reciprocal – if you have melanoma you are almost 3 times more likely to develop Parkinson's disease than someone without melanoma (Source: Baade et al 2007; Gao et al 2009).
What is melanoma exactly?
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer.
It develops from the pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes. Melanocytes are melanin-producing cells located in the bottom layer (the stratum basale) of the skin's outer layer (or epidermis).

Melanocytes produce melanin, which is a pigment found in the skin, eyes, and hair. It is also found in the brain in certain types of cells, such as dopamine neurons (where it is referred to as neuromelanin).

Melanomas are usually caused by DNA damage resulting from exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation from tanning beds increases the risk of melanoma (Source), as does excessive air travel (Source), or simply spending to much time sun bathing.
Approximately 2.2% of men and women will be diagnosed with melanoma at some point during their lives (Source). In women, melanomas most commonly occur on the legs, while in men they are most common on the back. Melanoma makes up 5% of all cancers (Source).
Generally, melanomas is one of the safer cancers, as it can usually be detected early by visual inspection. This cancer is made dangerous, however, by its ability to metastasise (or spread to other organs in the body).
The stages of melanoma. Source: Pathophys
Are there any genetic associations between Parkinson's disease and melanoma?
When the common genetics mutations that increase the risk of both conditions were previously analysed, it was apparent that none of the known Parkinson's mutations make someone more susceptible to melanoma, and likewise none of the melanoma-associated genetic mutations make a person vulnerable to Parkinson's disease (Meng et al 2012;Dong et al 2014; Elincx-Benizri et al 2014).
In fact, researchers have only found very weak genetic connections between two conditions (Click here to read our previous post on this). It's a real mystery.
Are there any other connections between Parkinson's disease and melanoma?
Another shared feature of both Parkinson's disease and melanoma is the build up of a protein called alpha synuclein. Alpha synuclein is believed to be one of the villains in Parkinson's disease – building up inside a cell, becoming toxic, and eventually killing that cell.
But recently researchers noticed that melanoma also has a build up of alpha synuclein, but those cells don't die:
Title: Parkinson's disease-related protein, alpha-synuclein, in malignant melanoma
Authors: Matsuo Y, Kamitani T.
Journal: PLoS One. 2010 May 5;5(5):e10481.
PMID: 20463956 (This article is OPEN ACCESS if you would like to read it)
In this study, researchers from Japan found that alpha synuclein was detected in 86% of the primary and 85% of the metastatic melanoma. Understand that the protein is not detectable in the non-melanoma cancer cells.
So what is it doing in melanoma cells?
Recently, researchers from Germany believe that they have found the answer to this question:
Title: Treatment with diphenyl-pyrazole compound anle138b/c reveals that α-synuclein protects melanoma cells from autophagic cell death
Authors: Turriani E, Lázaro DF, Ryazanov S, Leonov A, Giese A, Schön M, Schön MP, Griesinger C, Outeiro TF, Arndt-Jovin DJ, Becker D
Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2017 Jun 5. pii: 201700200. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1700200114
In their study, the German researchers looked at levels of alpha synuclein in melanoma cells. They took the melanoma cells that produced the most alpha synuclein and treated those cells with a chemical that inhibits the toxic form of alpha synuclein (which results from the accumulation of the protein).
What they observed next was fascinating: the cell morphology (or physically) changed, leading to massive melanoma cell death. The investigators found that this cell death was caused by instability of mitochondria and a major dysfunction in the autophagy process.
Mitochondria, you may recall, are the power house of each cell. They keep the lights on. Without them, the lights go out and the cell dies.

Autophagy is the garbage disposal/recycling process within each cell, which is an absolutely essential function. Without autophagy, old proteins and mitochondria will pile up making the cell sick and eventually it dies. Through the process of autophagy, the cell can break down the old protein, clearing the way for fresh new proteins to do their job.
The process of autophagy. Source: Wormbook
Waste material inside a cell is collected in membranes that form sacs (called vesicles). These vesicles then bind to another sac (called a lysosome) which contains enzymes that will breakdown and degrade the waste material. The degraded waste material can then be recycled or disposed of by spitting it out of the cell.
What the German research have found is that the high levels of alpha synuclein keep the mitochondria stable and the autophagy process working at a level that helps to keeps the cancer cell alive.
Next, they replicated this cell culture research in mice with melanoma tumors. When the mice were treated with the chemical that inhibits the toxic form of alpha synuclein, the cancer cancer became malformed and the autophagy process was blocked.
The researchers concluded that "alpha synuclein, which in PD exerts severe toxic functions, promotes and thereby is highly beneficial to the survival of melanoma in its advanced stages".
So what does all of this mean for Parkinson's disease?
Well, this is where the story gets really interesting.
You may be pleased to know that the chemical (called Anle138b) which was used to inhibit the toxic form of alpha synuclein in the melanoma cells, also works in models of Parkinson's disease:
Title: Anle138b: a novel oligomer modulator for disease-modifying therapy of neurodegenerative diseases such as prion and Parkinson's disease.
Authors: Wagner J, Ryazanov S, Leonov A, Levin J, Shi S, Schmidt F, Prix C, Pan-Montojo F, Bertsch U, Mitteregger-Kretzschmar G, Geissen M, Eiden M, Leidel F, Hirschberger T, Deeg AA, Krauth JJ, Zinth W, Tavan P, Pilger J, Zweckstetter M, Frank T, Bähr M, Weishaupt JH, Uhr M, Urlaub H, Teichmann U, Samwer M, Bötzel K, Groschup M, Kretzschmar H, Griesinger C, Giese A.
Journal: Acta Neuropathol. 2013 Jun;125(6):795-813
PMID: 23604588 (This article is OPEN ACCESS if you would like to read it)
In this first study the researchers discovered Anle138b by conducted a large screening study to identify for molecules that could inhibit the toxic form of alpha synuclein.
They next tested Anle138b in both cell culture and rodent models of Parkinson's disease and found it to be neuroprotective and very good at inhibiting the toxic form of alpha synuclein. And the treatment looks to be very effective. In the image below you can see dark staining of toxic alpha synuclein in the left panel from the brain of an untreated mouse, but very little staining in the right panel from an Anle138b treated mouse.
Toxic form of alpha synuclein (dark staining). Source: Max-Planck
Importantly, Anle138b does not interfere with normal behaviour of alpha synuclein in the mice (such as production of the protein, correct functioning, and eventual degradation/disposal of the protein), but it does act as an inhibitor of alpha synuclein clustering or aggregation (the toxic form of the protein). In addition, the investigators found no toxic effects of Anle138b in any of their experiments even after long-term high-dose treatment (more than one year).
And in a follow up study, the drug was effective even if it was given after the disease model had started:
Title: The oligomer modulator anle138b inhibits disease progression in a Parkinson mouse model even with treatment started after disease onset
Authors: Levin J, Schmidt F, Boehm C, Prix C, Bötzel K, Ryazanov S, Leonov A, Griesinger C, Giese A.
Journal: Acta Neuropathol. 2014 May;127(5):779-80.
PMID: 24615514 (This article is OPEN ACCESS if you would like to read it)
During the first study, the researchers had started Anle138b treatment in the mouse model of Parkinson's disease at a very young age. In this study, however, the investigators began treatment only as the symptoms were starting to show, and Anle138b was found to significantly improve the overall survival of the mice.
One particularly interesting aspect of Anle138b function in the brain is that it does not appear to change the level of the autophagy suggesting that the biological effects of treatment with Anle138b is cell-type–specific (Click here to read more about this). In cancer cells, it is having a different effect to that in brain cells. These differences in effect may also relate to disease conditions though, as Anle138b was not neuroprotective in a mouse model of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA; Click here to read more about this).
Is Anle138b being tested in the clinic?
Not yet.
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (Göttingen) have spun off a company called MODAG GmbH that is looking to advance Anle138b to the clinic (Click here for the press release). The Michael J Fox Foundation are helping to fund more preclinical development of this treatment (Click here to read more about this).
We will be watching their progress with interest.
What does it all mean?
Summing up: There are many mysteries surrounding Parkinson's disease, but some researchers from Germany may have just solved one of them and at the same time developed a potentially useful new treatment.
They have discovered that the Parkinson's associated protein, alpha synuclein, which is produced in large amounts in the skin cancer melanoma, is actually playing an important role in keeping those cancer cells alive. By finding a molecule that can block the build up of alpha synuclein, they have not only found a treatment for melanoma, but also potentially one for Parkinson's disease.
And given that both diseases are closely associated, this could be seen as a great step forward. Two birds with one stone as the saying goes.

if you have read these ratings at all you know that everyone agrees camp san luis Obispo has "NOTHING" for kids to do, so it constantly amazes me that folks still bring them here. as I sit I watch people camped in overflow, camping for $5.00 all with a load of kids. for the past three days they have literally trashed the shower houses using them for playgrounds, having water fights and then throwing dirt clods into the showers at one another, what an awful mess they make daily for the custodial crew to have to clean up. why on earth would you bring a tribe of kids to a camp with zero things for kids to do, that's what KOA campgrounds are made for. I found out today that all these kids are not with military people but with civilian contracters. shame on you people, the army gives you this privilage and you take advantage of it. I really hope that the administration stop the practice of allowing non military people into the park.

Syrian children graduate at Zaatari schools
By JT - Jun 23,2014 - Last updated at Jun 23,2014
AMMAN — The end of the school term brought smiles to more than 10,000 Syrian children at the Zaatari Refugee Camp as they were awarded certificates on Monday for successfully completing the scholastic year, according to a UNICEF statement.
At a graduation ceremony in School 3, certificates were handed out by Northwest Badia Education Director Sayel Khreisheh, First Counsellor of the European Union Delegation to Jordan Ibrahim Laafia and UNICEF Deputy Representative Michele Servadei. Sixty of the most distinguished students, aged six to 16, were recognised for their performance during the school year, the statement said.
At the event, Khreisheh noted that Jordan has opened its doors to Syrian children to ensure their future.
"In Zaatari, as well as at schools in Mafraq and across the country, we are committed to welcoming Syrian children and providing the best quality education possible."
With a capacity of 15,000 pupils, the three schools in Zaatari come under the jurisdiction of the Education Ministry and are managed and run with support from UNICEF and its partner Save the Children Jordan. Jordanian teachers travel to Zaatari every day and are assisted by Syrian teachers who live in the camp, where the number of school-age children is estimated at 25,000, according to statement.
Laafia highlighted the importance of education for all children in Jordan.
"Today we see the result of the joint efforts by the government of Jordan and UNICEF to provide education to all Syrian refugees in camps and host communities. It is a day of celebration for all of us, but in particular for all the children and their families."
"The EU Delegation would like to express its praise and gratitude to the educational team in the Zaatari school for their commitment and professionalism, and we would like to reiterate our commitment to further support the education for Syrian children in Jordan," Laafia added.
The EU is one the most significant partners of the Education Ministry and UNICEF in supporting the education sector during the Syrian refugee crisis, the statement said, adding that with more than 20.6 million euros of funding to the agency over the past two years, the EU has provided learning opportunities for children in refugee camps, at public schools and informal education centres across the country.
In April this year, the EU provided a new 9.9-million euro grant to UNICEF, which is helping scale up the emergency education response for displaced Syrian children and host communities in Jordan.
Servadei stressed the importance of access to education for all children.
"Whether it's a Syrian child living as a refugee, or a Jordanian living with a disability, all children have the right to learn. Ultimately, it is education that gives young people the opportunity to realise their full potential and to ensure that they play an active and productive role in society," the statement quoted him as saying.
Following the graduation ceremony the students performed a short drama about the importance of education for the guests, who also visited a remedial class and an exhibition of artwork created by the schoolchildren.

The Calling of the First Disciples November 3, 2017Posted by flashbuzzer in Books, Christianity.
Tags: andrew, james, john, matthew, peter
add a comment
Here are my thoughts on Matthew 4:18-22.
Summary: In this passage, Jesus calls the following pairs of brothers as His first disciples:
These fishermen willingly abandon their livelihoods and follow Him.
Thoughts: Here, we see that Peter, Andrew, James and John all obey Jesus when He calls them to follow Him. This spurred me to consider how God calls modern-day believers to follow Him. Note that Scripture does provide general guidance along these lines, including:
- Ephesians 4:1, which states that God has (generally) called all believers
- Matthew 22:37-40, which states that believers should love God and love others
- Matthew 28:19-20, which states that believers should spread the Gospel message.
Yet believers throughout the ages have had difficulty discerning their specific calling from God. While we sense that we have certain gifts and inclinations, if we are unaware of our specific calling, we may not know how to put them to good use. Now I should note that some of my friends have received a specific calling from God and responded by changing their careers and/or moving overseas. In general, they did not hear an audible voice from God; instead, they sensed that God was drawing them in a particular direction. For example, they saw Him at work when they:
- were laid off from a cherished position
- engaged in a deep conversation with a missionary on home assignment.
Over a period of several months – or even years – they prayed and sought the counsel of others before gradually arriving at the point where they could take a dramatic step in the direction of fulfilling a specific calling. Their experiences remind me that I should continue to pray that God would grant me wisdom and discernment. I pray that if/when He calls me in a new direction, I would be able to sense His calling and respond appropriately.
Simon the Sorceror June 18, 2016Posted by flashbuzzer in Books, Christianity.
Tags: acts, john, luke, peter, simon
add a comment
Here are my thoughts on Acts 8:9-25.
Summary: In this passage, a sorceror named Simon had captivated the Samaritans by his actions. His hold on them was broken by the arrival of Philip – who preached the Gospel message, bearing much fruit. The apostles in Jerusalem then sent Peter and John to Samaria to build on the good work of Philip. In particular, Peter and John:
- laid their hands on the Samaritan converts so that they might receive an extraordinary gifting of the Holy Spirit
- rebuked Simon for attempting to leverage the Holy Spirit for a pecuniary advantage
- preached the Gospel message.
Thoughts: Simon the sorceror is a central figure in this passage. How did he acquire his powers of sorcery (e.g. by making a pact with Satan)? What was his understanding of the Gospel message that Philip presented? After he was baptized, did Philip instruct him on how to live obediently to God? How did he respond to Peter's sharp rebuke of his pecuniary motives? Was he convicted of his sin and compelled to live a righteous life? I certainly hope to meet him in the next life and learn about God's work in his life.
In verses 15 and 16, we see that while the Samaritans had been baptized, they had not received the Holy Spirit. Calvin offers some insights on this potentially confusing point in his commentary on verse 16:
A question arises here. Luke says they were only baptized into the name of Christ and that they had not yet received the Holy Spirit; but either baptism must be empty and confer no grace, or else its power must come from the Holy Spirit…He must be speaking about those special gifts that God gave certain people in the early days of the Gospel to honor Christ's kingdom…So we conclude that the Samaritans already had the Spirit of adoption, and the special graces of the Spirit were then added.
Initially, I was confused by these verses; thus, Calvin's insights were immensely helpful. Now I am curious as to whether these "special graces of the Spirit" can still be communicated today through the laying on of hands. We occasionally see believers – even in churches that adhere to a conservative doctrine – laying hands on pastors and missionaries at special ceremonies. Does God furnish them with extraordinary gifts at those ceremonies? Or are those ceremonies symbolic – confirming what God has already done?
Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin May 3, 2016Posted by flashbuzzer in Books, Christianity.

Here are my thoughts on Acts 4:1-22.
Summary: In this passage, the Jewish aristocracy arrested Peter and John – since they continued to proclaim the Gospel message to the Jewish proletariat. The Sanhedrin gathered in Jerusalem and questioned Peter and John regarding the miracle that they had just performed. Peter responded by:
- giving glory to God
- citing the healing power of His Son – Jesus Christ of Nazareth
- quoting from Psalm 118:22 to spur them to repentance – as they had crucified the Son of God.
The Sanhedrin was caught in a bind, as the news of this miracle had spread throughout Jerusalem – yet they did not want to legitimize the Gospel message. They ordered Peter and John to refrain from preaching the Gospel message – yet the apostles continued to obey God and acknowledge His sovereignty in this matter. Moreover, many Jews gave glory to God for this miracle and received the Holy Spirit.
Thoughts: In verse 11, we see that Peter quotes from Psalm 118:22 to illustrate the supremacy of Jesus Christ of Nazareth – even though He was rejected by the Jewish aristocracy. This reminds me that Peter quotes from the same passage in his first epistle – highlighting the fact that after he received the Holy Spirit, he yielded his entire life to the supremacy of Christ. Formerly, Peter was driven by worldly desires, including political grandeur and competition with the other apostles – yet the Holy Spirit drove away those desires and replaced them with subservience. I do pray that the Holy Spirit would continue to effect a similar change in my life.
In verses 19 and 20, we see Peter and John declaring their ultimate allegiance to God Himself – not to the Jewish aristocracy. This reminds me of the oft-persecuted Shouwang Church in Beijing. I remember that during one Sunday service, one of the former pastors at my old church made a Skype call to one of the Shouwang Church members. The Shouwang Church member was at home; he noted that the police were watching him and preventing him – and other church members – from attending Sunday services. He also noted that the government had repeatedly blocked the church's attempts to purchase a building that could serve as their worship center. The Shouwang Church member appeared to be in good spirits, though, and he repeatedly gave glory to God. Indeed, it is amazing that believers who are subject to state-sponsored persecution continue to disobey their political leaders in order to worship God; I pray that their actions would encourage other believers in First World countries.
Peter Heals the Crippled Beggar April 27, 2016Posted by flashbuzzer in Books, Christianity.

Here are my thoughts on Acts 3:1-10.
Summary: In this passage, Peter and John went to the temple in Jerusalem for the afternoon prayer. They encountered a beggar who had been crippled since birth, and he asked them for money. Instead, God performed a miracle through Peter – healing the beggar of his infirmity. The beggar then joined Peter and John as they entered the temple courts; he praised God for what He had done for him, and the onlookers pondered this miracle.
Thoughts: In verses 7 and 8, we see that when Peter healed the beggar of his infirmity, "his feet and ankles became strong" and he began "walking and jumping." As a sports fan, I have grown to appreciate the importance of the feet and ankles in terms of maximizing an athlete's performance. Injuries such as plantar fasciitis, Jones fractures and Achilles tendon ruptures generally prevent athletes from competing at a high level, as they are unable to push off their feet; they must endure lengthy stretches of rest and rehabilitation. It should be noted, though, that the beggar in this passage had never been healthy; this highlights the role of Christ as the Great Physician, as He is able to instantly heal any infirmity.
Jesus is Coming March 22, 2016Posted by flashbuzzer in Books, Christianity.

Here are my thoughts on Revelation 22:7-21.
Summary: In this passage, God the Son declares that:
- He is coming soon
- those who heed His warnings in this book will be blessed, as they will be able to 1) enter the Holy City, 2) partake of the tree of life and 3) partake of the water of life
- those who do not heed His warnings in this book will be punished, as they will be 1) excluded from the Holy City, 2) excluded from the tree of life and 3) afflicted with many plagues
- He is the ultimate author of this book.
John also declares that he is the human author of this book. He concludes by praying that his readers would receive the unmerited favor of God as they anticipate the coming of God the Son.
Thoughts: This book demonstrates that those who refuse to worship God and hold to His testimony will be punished. Indeed, Christ promises to judge unrepentant sinners by:
- removing a lampstand from its place
- fighting against His opponents with the sword of His mouth
- casting Jezebel on a bed of suffering
- causing those who commit adultery with Jezebel to suffer intensely
- striking down the children of Jezebel
- coming like a thief
- spitting them out of His mouth
- trampling them in the great winepress of His wrath
- causing them to experience physical anguish
- destroying the world.
While we are conditioned to seek short-term pleasures, God repeatedly warns us that indulgence in short-term pleasures will have long-term consequences. Thus, we must continue to heed His warnings in this book and worship Him – even in the midst of difficult circumstances (e.g. persecution).
This book also demonstrates that those who worship God and hold to His testimony will be rewarded. Indeed, Christ promises to reward His true followers by granting them:
- the right to eat from the tree of life
- the crown of life
- preservation from the second death
- some of the hidden manna
- a white stone with a new name written on it that will only be revealed to its recipient
- authority over the nations
- the morning star
- white clothes
- His acknowledgment before His Father and His angels
- preservation from the hour of trial that will come upon the world
- a pillar in the temple of God – with His name and the name of His city written on it
- the right to sit with Him on His throne.
While these rewards may appear somewhat abstract as we live in this material world, God repeatedly calls us to meditate upon them and live holy lives that are worthy of them. On a personal note, I have been greatly encouraged by my stroll through this book, and I pray that I would be able to live a holy life that is worthy of these rewards – with God Himself being the greatest reward.
The River of Life March 18, 2016Posted by flashbuzzer in Books, Christianity.

Here are my thoughts on Revelation 22:1-6.
Summary: In this passage, the angel from the previous passage shows John the river of the water of life. God is its source, and He uses it – through the tree of life – to remove the curse of the Fall. In particular, He will grant His people the light of His eternal presence. The angel then certifies that God is the ultimate source of this vision.
Thoughts: I long for the time when I will be allowed to:
- "drink" from the river of the water of life
- "eat" from the tree of life – especially since it bears fruit every month.
Now I think that believers will not (literally) eat or drink in the next life – as God will grant us new bodies that transcend our current physical limitations. Thus, this passage demonstrates the wondrous fact that God will continually meet our spiritual needs and desires in the next life. As believers, we should earnestly desire that glorious state – and continue to live out that desire in our current (ephemeral) state.
The New Jerusalem March 16, 2016Posted by flashbuzzer in Books, Christianity.

Here are my thoughts on Revelation 21.
Summary: In this passage, God declares that He will enter into a new union with His people – where He will completely remove the consequences of the Fall. He exhorts His people to hold to His testimony so that they can enter into this new union – especially since those who do not hold to His testimony will be thrown into the lake of fire. One of the angels who poured out a bowl of the wrath of God then shows John the new Jerusalem; it is a beautiful city that reflects the glory of God. Indeed, its streets, gates, walls and foundations are composed of the most precious stones and metals. John notes that only those who hold to the testimony of God will be able to enter the new Jerusalem.
Thoughts: In verse 4, we see that believers will no longer be subject to "death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." These words must have greatly encouraged John's original readers while they faced intense persecution for their faith. It would have been natural for them to abandon their faith and receive (short-term) pleasures – especially when some of their brethren were dying for their faith, leaving others to mourn their passing. Yet God called them to maintain their faith in the face of their (short-term) sufferings so that they could receive genuine (long-term) pleasures. These words should also greatly encourage modern-day believers who face intense persecution for their faith.
Here, John delights his readers with a wondrous description of "the Holy City, Jerusalem." I am inclined to believe that John had a heavenly vision, and he had the challenging task of conveying the contents of that vision to his readers using earthly language. Perhaps the description of the foundations of the city walls that he provides in verses 19 and 20 demonstrates that his vision was consumed by an entity of infinite worth, and so he conveyed that infinite worth by mentioning an array of precious stones. My prayer is that I would eventually see this entity and experience the same sublime feelings that overwhelmed John when he wrote this letter.
In verse 27, we see that "the Holy City, Jerusalem" will be pure and unspoiled. Henry offers some insights on this point in his commentary:
There the saints will have no impurity left in them. In death they will be cleansed from everything that defiles. On earth they feel a sad mixture of corruption with their graces, which hinders them in God's service, interrupts their communion with him, and intercepts the light of his countenance. But as they enter the Most Holy Place, they are washed in the bowl of Christ's blood and are presented to the Father spotless.
I often struggle to maintain my communion with God, as I am easily distracted during worship services, daily quiet times and prayer. I often wish that God would heal my distracted mind – enabling me to focus on Him and give Him my undivided attention – yet I am acutely aware that I will never be able to honor Him fully in that regard during my earthly existence. While this is rather frustrating, the present state of affairs causes me to long for the next life, where I will be able to maintain my communion with God; indeed, I long for the time when I will savor all of His words and delight in His presence.
The Dead are Judged March 12, 2016Posted by flashbuzzer in Books, Christianity.
Tags: Books, deeds, john, judgment, revelation
add a comment
Here are my thoughts on Revelation 20:11-15.
Summary: In this passage, John observes the throne of God – where the dead are judged based on their (recorded) deeds. If their names are not found in the book of life, then they are thrown into the lake of fire – which is the second death.
Thoughts: This passage reminds me of the third verse of Jesus Paid It All. In particular, I know that my earthly deeds do not merit a mention in the book of life; thus, I am completely dependent on the:
- grace of God in my election to His family
- finished work of Jesus Christ in securing my election.
Since I am constantly aware of my sinfulness, I cannot imagine boasting about my earthly deeds before the throne of God. That being said, I pray that the Holy Spirit would continue to work in me so that my earthly deeds would demonstrate that I am mentioned in the book of life. Moreover, I pray that when I stand before the throne of God, I would be able to rejoice in (and with) Him during the proclamation of His (recorded) deeds through me in this life.
Satan's Doom March 9, 2016Posted by flashbuzzer in Books, Christianity.
Tags: beasts, john, revelation, Satan, torment
add a comment
Here are my thoughts on Revelation 20:7-10.
Summary: In this passage, Satan is released from the Abyss. He then gathers the nations for a climactic battle against all believers. They place believers in a quandary – yet God abruptly destroys them with fire. Satan is then thrown into the lake of fire – joining the beast out of the sea and the beast out of the earth in their eternal torment.
Thoughts: While I believe that many of the events that are described in the preceding chapters of this book have already occurred, I also believe that the events that are described in this passage will occur at the end of time. Thus, my curiosity is piqued regarding the identity of "the nations in the four corners of the earth – Gog and Magog." How will Satan influence them to oppose God and His people? Will all believers migrate to a single location at some point in the future – or will they be attacked wherever they reside? How will God deliver them from their enemies in their hour of need? Will the events that are described in this passage occur in this generation? In any event, believers can be encouraged by this fact – God fights for them. Moreover, He will finally defeat Satan and deliver them from his power.
The Thousand Years March 5, 2016Posted by flashbuzzer in Books, Christianity.
Tags: Jesus Christ, john, martyrs, revelation, Satan
add a comment
Here are my thoughts on Revelation 20:1-6.
Summary: In this passage, John observes an angel holding a chain and the key to the Abyss. This angel binds Satan, throws him into the Abyss and seals it for a thousand years. John also observes Christian martyrs – in particular, those who refused to worship the beast out of the sea. They reign with Christ during the imprisonment of Satan in the Abyss. Indeed, they have overcome both physical and spiritual death; now, they will serve God.
Thoughts: This passage may indicate that Christian martyrs will receive greater rewards in the next life than other believers. While the concept of a heavenly hierarchy is debatable, I certainly hope that if a heavenly hierarchy exists, then martyrs would be placed above other believers. I believe that those who suffer in a special way for the name of Christ should receive a special reward, as they have consciously decided to hold to His testimony – while overcoming the persistent temptation to commit apostasy and embrace the pleasures of this world. I also believe that if a heavenly hierarchy exists, then Christians who are not martyred will not experience feelings of resentment in the next life – as they will be content with their heavenly rewards. If any readers have some thoughts on this point, feel free to share them as a comment.

Construct a policy, not a product is the method taken by Otcrit
Several companies are unsuccessful when they emphasis all their effort and expansion on one single product or a service. Every single market is altering quickly and trying to be good at only one thing is not sufficient for the highly challenging customers. The problem comes when a good product misses its acceptance or the customer base has substituted to an entirely new trend.
Subsequently, the markets are touching faster than we can respond, the time it takes for any association to design and progress an innovative approach frequently means losing too much money and clients. In today's extremely competitive space this can mean the end of any company. This very much applies to the crypto-market as well but on a much lighter scale.
A very considered marketing approach plus a compact suggested board often leads to huge gains and ICOs funded in seconds. What we'll see trendy in 2018 and the years to come is the achievement of the productions that are constructing ecosystems, not a single product. People don't want to just purchase books from Amazon, they need to purchase anything they can think of – and in the meantime why not add a streaming service that you can control from your AI assistant. This is why Otcrit is not constructing a product, but a platform. A place where clients will be obtainable with a range of services that they frequently don't see coming from one company. They are directing to be an all-in-one solution for traders and investors while keeping the ecosystem harmless from projects that are here only for the rapid drive.
All that is trendy in the cryptocurrency market is completely normal for such a new space, but the group is looking at the better picture. Otcrit is constructing a policy that will last as long as this market happens and offer the community with apparent and operative business model. Shortly we will see the commencement of the second wave of effective blockchain projects – the ones that actually reach some sort of acceptance and provide a working product.

S1800 issue!!!!!!!
This is going to start off BAD, but will get better!
I call the Fujifilm's SO CALLED Help Desk for my S1800 camera. I heard that there was a problem with this model, so I wanted to know if they could tell me if mine was one of them. When I spoke to the man, he sound very angry and try to rush me off the phone like he needed to leave or something. I just wanted to know if my camera was one of the ones that needed to be looked at. His only response to help me was to transfer me to the Camera Repair Dept.
By this time I am VERY ANGRY because I was on hold for 30 min and bounced back and fourth twice.and will admit I took it out on the nice lady who answered the phone the last time. She listened to what I had to say and then gave me the voice mail of the National Manager of the dept. She said that he would be able to help me. I left a message with no hopes that I would get a call back.
To my surprise, I received a call back late in the day from Dan Scarola. I explained my frustration with the Digital Help Desk and he just listen to all my complaints as I rambled on. I asked him if my camera was in need of repair. He explained to me what I need to look for and it turned out that my camera was fine.
Before I hung up with him he asked me what size card I had. I told him it was an 8GB. He then asked me how many pictures I was getting and I told him I have 987 left. To my surprise, he said I should be getting well over 2000! He walked me though a few steps and when I was done, I was getting over 2000. If Dan did not go the extra mile, I would never have known about this issue. I thought 987 was more then enough for me!
I just want to say that it is Managers like Dan Scarola that make me want to stay a FUJIFILM customer.

Very good story, sorry for the aggro, but glad you had a chance to talk to Mr. Scarola. I am not sure what country you are in, usually America and England often have good customer service (though there are the terrible exceptions)... just be glad you are not here in Finland... Anyway, I really would have expected better of a help desk. Good customer service is to me one of the best ways to advertise... Ned

How is the quality of the camera and the quality of the pictures? I am looking at upgrading from a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 (9 Mpxl, 28-280 equivalent zoom).

A year ago Richard Morris continued his support of the Hyattsville Elementary School PTA Zombie Run fundraiser as a Gold Sponsor; two weeks later he had a fall on October 26, followed by emergency surgery and complications. He died November 21, 2017. My memorial to him has been to keep his legacy visible, especially in the form of his books and songs. I am Barbara, his partner and wife of fifty years.
This blog now functions as Blog B, whether B for Barbara or B as secondary to the two hundred wonderful posts Richard left to us in his original blog. Today Richard Morris was a Gold-Sponsor-in-memory at the Hyattsville Elementary School PTA Zombie Run.
As a sponsor, there was a tent where I could display Richard's novels and CD. In addition, I took our Sy Mohr painting of Hyattsville to amuse the community in identifying locations. Although Sy died in 2016, Richard was his webmaster and had previously established and maintained Sy Mohr's website: http://www.symohr.wordpress.com.
I also displayed Richard's mementos from his two runs in the Marine Corps Marathon. Although we started out with light rain, that never keeps Hyattsville from supporting the Zombie Run. I was able to send home with hundreds of runners in their packet bags a card showing the beautiful poster display of Richard's books (Cologne No. 10 for Men, Well Considered, Canoedling in Cleveland, and Masjid Morning) on the front and information about him on the back.

I used to have a simple answer whenever someone asked me why I'm a bicycle commuter: I don't have a car. But since I married into car-ownership this succinct albeit incomplete reply has become inaccurate, which has caused me to reflect on why I still prefer cycling to driving. I've come up with 7 reasons so far.
1. Riding a bicycle is fun. I know some people really enjoy driving, but I find it an arduous means to an end. Somes days cycling is the best part about going to work.
2. Riding a bicycle is good exercise. The typical American lifestyle inevitably leads to obesity and other health problems. Commuting by bicycle is a great way to stay healthy, especially for people who don't have time or money for a gym membership.
3. Riding a bicycle is cheap… comparatively. You can buy a great bicycle for the price of a really awful car. Factor in gas, insurance, and title and registration fees and the annual savings of bike commuting can reach four figures easily.
4. Riding a bicycle is good for the environment. Human-powered transportation has a renewable, sustainable energy source.
5. I feel connected to my surrounding on a bicycle. Inside of a car it's easy to feel like an isolated individual. On a bicycle you have no barriers between you, nature, pedestrians, and other cyclists, leading to an increased awareness of community.
6. I can do bike maintenance. In a day and age when cars are being increasingly computerized home maintenance is not a viable option. Bicycles are still wonderfully simple and entirely home fixable.
7. Bicycles are cool. And who doesn't want to be cool?

The singer takes a starring role in the Nas-produced movie, with Kanye West on soundtrack duties
The first trailer for Nas-produced skate drama The Land has dropped.
The film, which was announced at the end of last year, follows a group of Cleveland skateboarders who pursue their dreams of making it as professionals. It stars both Erykah Badu and The Wire's Michael K. Williams, with the former reportedly taking on the role of concerned mum 'Turquoise'. Emerging filmmaker Steve Caple Jr. is on board as the writer and director.
"(I'm a) huge fan of my man Steve Caple Jr," revealed Nas, who worked as the movie's executive producer. "I think he can become the next great filmmaker. (I'm) also, very excited to be working with my former agent and friend Charles King on his first film with his new venture. All great energy around the film, which I believe will yield amazing results."
The Land – which got rave reviews when it appeared at Sundance in January – also includes soundtrack contributions from Kanye West, Pusha T, Jeremih, and Nosaj Thing. Tracks from Badu and Nas will also be included.
