Dance Till You Pop
Lights illuminate the dance floor as Sammy stepped into the club, men and women dancing around as a faint hissing fills the air. She proudly steps in, her stretchy dress already expanding a bit as people gaze at her. In a club where being the center of attention gives you a literal overinflated ego, clubs could be dangerous… or the greatest night of your life, if you knew how to play your cards right. Sammy looked around, watching girls of varying sizes dancing and having fun with other people around them, each one dancing with them blowing the girls bigger by attention alone.
"Hey there, girl. How are you doing?" Sammy gasped as she felt herself swell up a fair bit, her belly poking out from her as her hips and breasts puffed up a little. Her sparkly red sequined dress now hugging her curves more than normal, she turned to face her impromptu inflator. "Dang, you look good like that. How are you, cutie? I'm Zoe." Zoe was cute, but not inflated much. Pretty thin, not too much to look at, but a friendly face regardless. Her long black hair obscured her eyes slightly, but Sammy could see green eyes staring back at her from beyond the curtain of hair.
"Well, nice to meet you! I'm Sammy, and I came here to inflate, dance, and have a good time." She held out her hand and Zoe took it, shaking vigorously. She got a huge grin on her face.
"Well, you came to the right place, and the right girl! There's plenty of folks here to give you attention, and more attention means more air! Come on, let's hit the dance floor, and get you huge! I'll show you how to enjoy the club." Zoe dragged Sammy to the dance floor, and they started dancing as a fast-paced song picked up.
As Sammy danced, she felt herself growing slightly, as all eyes were on her every now and again, her hips and chest and belly growing larger, but still manageable. Her sequin dress pressed up against her growing flesh, it all felt so good as she stepped on the spots of light provided by the disco ball, using them as a guide for her steps as she danced, each step carrying her around in a whirlwind of light and movement, the club's lights blasting off her sparkling dress as she bloated up more and more, the club's patrons stopping and watching as she got bigger and began to look several months pregnant while remaining light on her feet.
Zoe dashed over to her and grabbed her hands as the music changed pace, Dancing together as their bellies swelled into each other, making it difficult to stay together as they moved around the dance floor, stepping on segments of light from the disco ball above as to stay in sync with the beat. "Having fun, Sammy? Look at us, two big girls getting bigger from the attention we get. What a world we live in!"
"I'm having a great time, Zoe!" Sammy replied. She spun Zoe and dipped her low, pulling her back up and enjoying how light she was despite her size. Patrons began to gather from the bar, and the rest of the dance floor, and the arcade area, all of them watching the two girls on the dance floor, which only served to fill them bigger.
Over at the bar, two men watched the dance floor, casually observing the swelling figures on the dance floor. One older, with graying hair and a few wrinkles, and the other young and spry, with cropped brown hair and only glasses to make him look older. The younger one spoke up, awed by the spectacle. "Steven, look at that! Those girls, almost everyone on the dance floor is filling up like balloons! That's impossible!"
The older man, Steven, casually sipped his drink without even flinching. "Yup, it should be, but not here, Jonny. Like I told you, this club is different. Welcome to the Pump n' Bump. Here, you get stared at, you get big. Get stared at enough, and you might not be able to shrink down and leave."
"Not leave?" Jonny asked, flagging down the bartender for another drink. "What happens when you get too big to leave? Do you just… stay here forever, or sit around and wait to deflate?"
"Oh, when you get big enough there's no deflating. Not unless you choose to inflate someone else. See those two girls on the dance floor? Not-so-little miss red dress and her dance partner? I know that girl, she loves getting huge but always ends up bailing out and filling her partner. Watch the one in red, you'll see what happens when you get too big here."
Sammy and Zoe were the center of attention, their bodies swelling bigger and bigger. "Oh my gosh, Zoe! Look how big we are! We look like two big, bloated balloons with arms and legs!"
Zoe chuckled, bumping into her and knocking her to the floor. "You are, but I'm not going to be in a few moments…" Far away, Steven sighed. He'd seen this song and dance before, this was always how it ended. Zoe jumped on top of Sammy and locked lips with her, blowing into her as the air left her and blew into Sammy, swelling her larger and larger as her limbs became immobile and her body swelled even to the point her red sequined dress struggled to stay intact, making Sammy a giant sparkling balloon girl shining in the neon lights of the club. Zoe hopped off, and tied ropes from the ceiling to Sammy's hands as Sammy kept getting rounder thanks to the stares she was getting. She pulled the ropes taught, and Sammy found herself being lifted up, her bloated, sequined body casting sparkles of light on the dance floor as her limbs were swallowed up and she became a big ball with hands and feet, and a head.
"Alright, everyone! Looks like we got ourselves a new disco ball! Let's dance and enjoy it, dance until it pops like a balloon and we can fill up each other more!" Zoe cheered out, before patting Sammy on the side and walking off, lost in the crowd as everyone started to dance and sing, bumping against each other as the Sammy-disco ball swelled larger, creaking and groaning as her skin fought the losing battle against the pressure inside her. She grinned happily as her head was swallowed up by her body, the last thing she saw before her red sequins overtook her vision being the wide-eyed stare of Jonny at the bar.
Creak, groan….
Sequins and rubbery tatters of skin fly across the dance floor in a blizzard of sparkles and light, drifting to the ground as everyone cheers amidst the gust of air created by Sammy's explosion. Jonny just stares, stares at where she used to be, and considered his options. Nodding his head, he walked over to Zoe, who had just emerged from the crowd. "Hey there, care to dance?"
Jonny and Steven walked out of the club in the early hours of the morning, Steven beaming as he patted Jonny on the back. "Boy, I've been coming here for years, and I've never seen that girl get what's coming to her. I think when we meet up at the office on Monday, You've earned that raise you wanted. That raise, and a few drinks."
"Thanks, sir. I think I have a new favorite club to visit on the weekends."

Ever since I started growing hair, I didn't know what to do with it. When my hair got long, my parents would take me to the barber and they'd make it short again. Now that I'm older and can decide for myself what I want, and I decide to cut my own hair from now on.
Today was honestly the first day I ever cut my hair by myself. I know it's not perfect, but when was last time you left your hairdresser completely content? I've never been a person who was happy with my haircut. At least now I have only myself to blame. Back when I went to school, I would have very long hair because I never wanted to get it cut!
It's the summer now and long hair is out of the question. I decided to take care of this myself. I bought a Philips Norelco hair clipper and it did the job. It has 10 different length settings and doesn't even require a cord to use. It makes clipping your hair quite easy to do actually. Just know that it may get messy. If you have a lot of hair it may be best to do this outside.
My friend from across the way has told me time and again how he cuts his own hair. In my opinion it looks like a professional cut. This was a major factor when I was debating whether to do this for the first time. I'm glad I did. It can only get better from here, right?

- AUTHOR: Mara Trinity Scully
- TITLE: Dependence
- CATEGORY: Drama, Post-movie.
- SUMMARY: Heroism in the resistance cannot live without love.
- AUTHOR'S NOTES: My first ever piece of fanfiction. I love it.
Her eyes gently open to see him there. Silent. Waiting.
She shows him no sigh of the sobbing soul within her.
But her crystal blue eyes betray her.
He sees the turmoil the rage the pain the anger the grief the ache
Burning with radiant compassion, he reaches for her and she
delicately shifts into his arms. Molded together, she senses
him destroy the cold shadows smothering her.
His heart hungers for her. As she twines her fingers in his,
he understands. He understands how much she needs him. And he
understands how much he needs her. Together, they will be
strong. Apart, the coldness will consume them.
The man whispers in her ear the only words of comfort he
can think of. "I love you"
The woman looks at him. The anguish leaves her eyes as
one salty tear falls.
And he kisses it away.

The undercity beneath Megropolis One on Pluto became inhabited by outlaws who had escaped from the Company's society above ground.
There was no lighting in the undercity save for candles, nor were conditions favourable; much of the surface was covered in filth.
Mandrel was the leader of the outlaws living in the undercity. They were forced into the city whenever they wanted food as they had no local sources. Many of those aboveground had heard of the undercity and those that lived there, but knew few details.
After he was unable to pay his father's death tax, Cordo headed for the undercity. The Fourth Doctor and Leela joined him. Upon arrival, Mandrel told them they could stay if the Doctor delivered a consumcard to the Consum Bank on subway 37. Mandrel threatened him, saying he had to return before a set time or Leela would be killed. Cordo went with the Doctor to show him the way.
Cordo made his way back to the undercity after some time and reported the Doctor captured. At this news, Leela and Cordo left to rescue him. The Doctor returned on his own some time later, having been freed. Mandrel did not believe this and readied a hot iron to torture him. A friend of the Doctor's, Bisham, used a balcony above the undercity's main level to threaten him into surrender. Mandrel agreed to help the Doctor take over Main Control while the rest of the outlaws stirred up rebellion among the workers. This left the undercity abandoned. (TV: The Sun Makers)

More than 40 percent of those people with HIV surveyed in a recent large study said they might want to have children in the future, Healio reports.
Publishing their findings in Open Forum Infectious Diseases, researchers surveyed individuals in the ACTG Study 5257, which enrolled participants between May 2009 and June 2011. This Phase III randomized, open-label trial is studying three modern ARV regimens among men and women age 18 and older who had not yet taken HIV treatment upon entry and who enrolled at 57 sites throughout the United States.
The current analysis of 1,425 participants included all the men who responded to surveys as well as all women age 45 and younger who did so. Seventy percent (992) were men who have sex with men (MSM), 17 percent (244) were women and 13 percent (189) were men who have sex only with women (MSW). Thirty-nine percent of the individuals were Black, 36 percent were white and 22 percent were Latino. The median age was 36, and 50 percent of the participants were between ages 28 and 44.
Upon starting ARVs and again after 95 weeks of treatment, the participants were asked whether they might want children in the future. Overall, a respective 42 percent and 41 percent of the participants responded "yes" to this question at the two time points. At the study's outset, 42 percent of MSM, 37 percent of MSW and 43 percent of women said they might want children in the future. At the 96-week point, a respective 41 percent, 37 percent and 43 percent of each group reported the same.
Factors associated with a greater likelihood of reporting possibly wanting children included being 30 years old or younger, being Black, having more than a high school degree and not having any children. There was no association between an interest in having children and CD4 count, viral load or the participants' perception of their own infectiousness.

One More Reason to Ride
There are lots of reasons I ride a bike and take transit whenever I can instead of driving. Riding a bike for transportation is fun, it relaxes me, it's great exercise, and it connects me to my neighborhood and my surroundings in a way that driving can't. I actually look forward to my commute when I'm riding my bike. There is no question that these reasons are all important and, as I've experienced my world on a bike and transit I have a new appreciation for the pervasive ways we've prioritized the private automobile in our design of our cities and our roads. But there's another reason riding a bike is important: the urgent need to address climate change.
Ok, I'm aware the bicycle alone won't solve the world's carbon energy and greenhouse gas problems, so I'm not saying it's the only answer or that it alone is sufficient. I do think, however, that bicycles and transit must be a major part of the reconstruction of society to shrink our carbon footprint. As I've discussed before, EVs and hybrids—while better than gas guzzlers—aren't the answer. If you wanted to design a more wasteful transportation system, you couldn't have thought of a better way than the automobile. The idea that every adult must possess a 2,000 – 3,000 lb metal box that sucks up (mostly fossil fuel) energy makes a mockery of sustainability. By changing the propulsion system from internal combustion to the electricity grid, you might reduce the rate at which those metal boxes consume fuel and spew pollutants, but the overall global scale of energy consumption will continue to rise, especially as that mode of transportation expands to other parts of the world. The automobile is the nexus of a vicious circle of congestion and sprawl, which is wasteful of space and energy and and creates a feedback loop of more cars-more sprawl-more cars, ad infinitum (well, at least until the carrying capacity of our planet is reached).
I am increasingly convinced that most Americans—even most liberals who agree that something must be done to address the problem—have only dimly grasped the scope and seriousness of the climate change crisis. Reading the peer-reviewed science on the subject leads to the sobering realization that humanity faces an existential crisis by the end of the 21st century if we don't fundamentally change our habits of energy consumption. While the end of the century seems a long way off (I most certainly won't be around to see it), it is within the life span of a child born today. In the scope of human history, it is but the blink of an eye. Yet, most people continue to live—and drive—as if there's literally no tomorrow.
A recent article by Rebecca Solnit highlights an essential cognitive problem confronting climate change activists who challenge the status quo. Many of those in positions of power, even those well-meaning people who recognize the reality of climate change in the abstract, seem not to recognize the scale or seriousness of the problem. She uses the idea of the burning house as a metaphor for the nature of the emergency we face. Our house is burning, Solnit tells us, and we're debating whether to use a bucket or a hose to put out the spreading flames (not to mention those who claim not to "believe" there's a fire at all). Here's the problem: if we wait until the house is entirely engulfed in flames, it will be too late to save it.
She relates the story of how Bay Area climate activists called on the San Francisco Retirement Board to divest from fossil fuel stocks recently, and the board balked at what it considered a "radical" request:
Climate activists speak the language of people who know that we're in an emergency. The retirement board is speaking the language of people who don't. The board members don't deny the science of climate change, but as far as I can tell, they don't realize what that means for everyone's future, including that of members of their pension fund and their children and grandchildren.
Indeed, she highlights a central problem: some of us recognize we're living on the cusp of an emergency that will affect every human being in one way or another, and some of us don't. I'm not talking about the deniers, who live in their own world of wishful thinking. I mean people who don't deny climate change, but seem to think some techno-solution will save us and allow us to continue to live as we've always done. Plug-in hybrids! Electric cars! Hydrogen-powered cars! Some people are more concerned with what kind of car they're going to buy in ten years than the fate of the planet. They can't imagine not driving all the time, despite the fact that the cumulative effects may destroy the climate by the time today's children become adults. Now, that's radical.
I see this same lack of awareness in some local officials who'll dither and debate whether to replace a traffic lane with a bike lane, or whether to remove some on-street parking for cars for a bike corral or bike lane. The world house is on fire and they're worried about how many extra seconds a bike lane might cost people in cars. The age of the automobile and cheap oil is coming to an end. Get used to it. EVs will not save you. The massive amount of energy they'll suck up will have to be supplied to no small degree by fossil fuels, as most energy analysts recognize.
Change can be overwhelming, but it starts small. Resolving to replace one car trip a week with your bike or transit is a good place to start. Advocating for better transit and bike infrastructure in your community is another. Recognizing that the answer to our transportation issues is not more parking lots, more sprawl, and more freeways, but less. Supporting the creation of car-free streets and spaces in our cities, de-privileging the automobile in our transportation funding priorities, charging drivers the full cost of their bad habit, and using the revenue to fund transit and infrastructure improvements for biking and walking.
The good news about this is that these alternatives can make our cities more livable, healthy, and as Charles Montgomery argues, happier places. These small changes add up and make a big difference. Using UC Berkeley's carbon calculator, I discovered that by using my bike and transit for many of my commuting trips and local errands instead of my car last year, I reduced my household's overall carbon emissions by 42%. While my commute is less convenient than it was when I drove my Corrolla all the time, I'm less stressed and healthier now that I'm taking the bus and my bike and I save money. It makes me realize how much the car-dependent lifestyle negatively impacts our quality of life.
Our house is on fire and some of us are sounding the alarm bells. The reconstruction of society along sustainable lines must begin sooner rather than later. This is not a "lifestyle choice." It is about life, period.

Even with years of coaching under my belt I knew I needed guidance. I chose Sarah because of her balanced approach to business growth; she's the perfect combination of strategy and mindset. When I hit an emotional wall and no longer trusted myself, Sarah was there to bring me back to reality. As I opened a new area of business, she knew the steps to take and offered resources that I would have had to find elsewhere. Sarah helped me hit my first and then subsequent $10k months.
Working with Sarah has been my best business investment yet! Since working with Sarah I've had more clients than I actually dreamed possible.

Graduate school programs are seeking to increase the volume, quality and diversity of applicants through a more equitable admissions process. Here are a few of the trends I believe are most important to informing the practices of today's admissions professionals.
Transparent and Intentional Admissions Processes
One needs to look no further than the national news cycle to know that admissions processes are under intense scrutiny. Students want more transparency in how the process is carried out and how applications are weighed to inform admissions decisions. A 2018 study by the Council of Graduate Schools urged institutions to be more transparent about their admissions processes. This includes openly communicating to prospective students the definition of program success, the weight assigned to various attributes considered to be predictive of success, and the role of these attributes when making admissions decisions. These steps are all part of holistic admissions, in which all admissions processes are aligned to institution and program goals, and all applicants are considered for everything they can bring to a program. ETS has published a set of holistic admissions practices based on 71 interviews with graduate deans, faculty and staff, as well as a discussion guide to help programs interested in starting conversations on their campuses about aligning processes with goals. A transparent and holistic admissions process is not only inherently fairer to the applicant, but it can position your program to clearly communicate with prospective students and admit those who can help your program be successful.
Inclusive On-Campus Environments
Much of the current conversation around graduate admissions is focused on strategies for increasing diversity. These conversations are essential, and we can learn from programs that are doing this successfully, such as the University of Texas at Austin and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. These programs and others not only design their admissions processes to align with the goal of increasing diversity, but also work to create inclusive on-campus environments. Much of the conversation at ETS's Strategies for Increasing Graduate Program Diversity Symposium focused on highlighting data-driven strategies for supporting and retaining underrepresented students. These resources require investments in the form of funding, personnel and time. But it's worth it because institutions are realizing that the return can yield increased completion rates, especially among members of underrepresented groups.
Measuring "Intangibles"
Speaking of completion rates, it should come as no surprise that graduate programs are seeking tools and data that will best allow them to predict the future success of a student. GPA and GRE® test scores do a good job of indicating cognitive skills, but to get a better idea for everything a candidate can offer, programs are also looking for measures of noncognitive skills, or personal attributes, which can be harder to measure. With this challenge in mind, ETS partnered with the Yale School of Management over the last five years to pilot a new behavioral assessment that measures interpersonal and intrapersonal attributes that the GRE test is not designed to capture. Many programs are already discussing the importance of incorporating noncognitive measures, and tools like this may help to meet that need in the future.
As with any trend or new idea, gathering data and doing the research are the best ways to ensure you're moving in the right direction. You have a partner in ETS, which is committed to helping you improve quality and diversity in graduate education.

St Cyril Of Alexandria's Commentary On John 13:31-35
Posted by Dim Bulb on April 25, 2010
31, 32 When therefore he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him; and God shall glorify Him in Himself, and straightway shall He glorify Him.
The traitor departs to minister to the stratagems of the devil. And now Christ begins His discourse; teaching us thereby, as in a figure, that the things which are fitted only for true disciples are not to be uttered in the hearing of all men. For it is not meet to give that which is holy unto the dogs, as Christ Himself says, nor even to allow pearls to be insulted by the feet of swine. The very same lesson that He had thus given them before in the form of a parable He now endeavours to teach them at a time requiring its practice, and calling for a more distinct explanation of it. So then, after the departure of the traitor and his hasty withdrawal from the house, Christ now, as at the fitting moment, unfolds the mysteries to His true disciples, saying: Now is the Son of Man glorified; and by this He is pointing to His sufferings as Saviour, as being already at the doors, and after but a brief while to come |209 upon Him. He says, however, that "the Son of Man" is glorified, meaning none other than Himself; not implying a separation in Himself, as some have thought, for the Christ is one only Son both before and after His incarnation, as well after He became man like unto us as before He had become man. But we must now inquire what manner of glorification that is to which He now specially alludes; for some perhaps may say: Was He not surely glorified before this, by the mighty wonders which He wrought? Surely, when with a single word He rebuked the angry rage of the sea and checked the violence of the fierce winds, then He was worshipped by those that were in the boat, and heard them say: Of a truth Thou art the Son of God. Again, when He had bidden Lazarus at Bethany return once more to life, the marvellous deed was noised abroad, even so much that as He went up to Jerusalem at the time of the feast all the people together with their babes came forth to meet Him, and joined in the strain of wondrous praise addressed to Him, saying: Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. Nay, more, there was a time when He brake five loaves and two small fishes, and satisfied therewith the hunger of the multitude who had come together unto Him, amounting to five thousand men, besides babes and women. And to some the wonder then wrought seemed so magnificent that, astonished at the greatness of the achievement, they sought even to proclaim Him king; for this the Evangelist himself has testified to us. And there would be no difficulty in extending our argument at length by enumerating many other deeds wherein Christ's glory was manifested no less highly than in those we have just mentioned. How then, after all, does it happen that He Who had been glorified long before speaks of Himself as glorified at this particular time? Truly He had been glorified in other ways, and had won for Himself most distinctly a reputation for possessing Divine authority: still the perfect consummation of His |210 glory and the fulness of His fame were summed up in the facts of His suffering for the life of the world and opening by His own resurrection the gate through which all may rise. For if we examine as well as we may the real character of the mystery of His work, we shall see that He died, not merely for Himself, nor even especially for His own sake; but that it was on behalf of humanity that He suffered and carried out both the suffering in itself and the resurrection that followed. For in that He died according to the flesh, He offered up His own life as an equivalent for the life of all; and by rendering perfect satisfaction for all, He fulfilled in Himself to the uttermost the force of that ancient curse. And in that He has risen again from the dead to a life imperishable and unceasing, in Himself He raises the whole of nature. For having died once for all, thenceforward, as it is written, He dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died unto sin once: but the life that He liveth, He liveth unto God. This also will for Christ's sake be true even in our own case. For we shall rise, no more subject to death, but endowed with endless life; even though there will be hereafter a great diversity of lot among those that rise—-I mean as regards their glory and the recompence which each shall receive as due to his works. Christ therefore, after becoming obedient to God the Father even unto death, yea, the death of the cross, according to the saying of Paul, was once again highly exalted, receiving the name which is above every name. For He Who was believed to be a mere man was glorified very much beyond that, by being acknowledged as in very truth really God and the Son of God; not being promoted to a new dignity in possessing the Divine nature, but rather returning with His flesh to the full enjoyment of that very glory which was equally His before He took flesh. For this reason then we shall reckon that He was now glorified, although there never was a time when He was not Lord of glory. |211 For in Christ we do not find one of His God-befitting attributes appearing as a new thing, but all appear as having naturally belonged to Him as God, even before the time when He is said to have emptied Himself. But still, when the form of a servant had been assumed, forasmuch as He raised Himself to those conditions again, even after He became man, He is conceived of as being "glorified," and is said to have "received" [the exalted name]. With Christ therefore in His glorification, God the Father also is greatly glorified. And He is glorified in the Son; not as receiving from His Offspring any addition of glory, for of no such addition does the Divine and ineffable nature stand ever in need; but because it is made known of what a Son He is the Father. For even as it is a pride and a glory to the Son to have such a Being for His Father, likewise also methinks it is a pride and a glory even to the Father to have born from Himself so glorious a Son. Therefore Christ says this: And God is glorified in Him; and God shall glorify Him in Himself, and straightway shall He glorify Him: for at the same time the Father is glorified on account of the Son, and straightway glorifies the Son in return. For to Both, for the sake of Both, the ascription of glory extends.
But in order that we may bring down the application of the passage to our own level, and so make it a source of edification to our hearers, we will add this to what has been said. If in ourselves we glorify God, we may expect that we shall be glorified by Him. For, As I live, saith the Lord, them that honour Me I will honour, and they shall not be lightly esteemed. And God is glorified by us and in us, when, casting away the defilement of sin, we adorn our lives in all the beauty of good works. For thus it is that we live to His glory.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you.
He places the disciples in the position of little children and accounts them as new-born babes, although they had |212 advanced to so high a stage in virtue, and were possessed of wisdom such as is fully vouchsafed to few; showing us hereby, and that very plainly, that even he who is accounted very perfect in the eyes of man is an infant in the sight of God, and feeble in mental faculties. For what is the understanding of man in comparison with the wisdom that fashioned the universe? Therefore it is that a Psalmist said to God: I was as a beast before Thee. And no one whatever will say, if he has any perception at all, that the Psalmist compares himself to a beast because of his having cleaved closely unto God; for such an idea would be a bitter disparagement of the Divine nature, and would be seen to involve a great impropriety. For he that cleaves to a wise man and "is" ever "before" him, (for I suppose I must adapt the words of the Psalm so far as is necessary,) would never become "as a beast;" but rather would become ready of mind, and quick of understanding, and skilful in judgment. If therefore any one acknowledged this to be very just and true, would not a person be thought foolish in the extreme who should suppose that one who cleaves fast to the wisdom that comes from God Himself will ever become as a beast in senseless folly? Why then does the Psalmist say that even he who is counted very wise among men will in comparison with the wisdom of God appear to be as a beast, and be reckoned among those who have no sense to guide them? It is because the understanding of man can no more be compared with the wisdom of God than the smallest star can vie with the rays of the sun, or even the heaviest of stones with the highest of all mountains; but rather is as nothing at all in comparison with it. And so it appears that even the perfect man is but as a little child.
Yet a little while, however, Christ said He would be with the disciples; not meaning that He was soon to depart so as to return no more, or to be separated from them altogether and entirely, for He is with us (according to His own words) alway, even unto the end of the |213 world; but implying that He would not be with them in the flesh, as He had been yesterday and the day before, and that now there was even at the door, or rather within the door, the time of His departure thence unto the Father, and of His ascension into heaven. And I say that it is necessary for us all, at least those who are right minded and have their faith well established, to realise the fact that even though He is absent from us in the flesh, now that He has returned from earth to God the Father, yet He pervades all things in His Divine power, and is ever present with those who love Him. For surely this is why He also declared: Verily, verily, I say unto you, wherever two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them. For just as, while still sojourning among men, yea, while verily on earth with flesh, He filled the heavens, and even then was still present with the holy angels, and never left the realms above; so now also, while verily in heaven with His own flesh, He fills the earth, and is ever present with those who know Him. And notice how, although expecting to be removed from earth as regards His flesh alone, since in the power of His Divinity He is ever with us, He nevertheless speaks of being with us yet a little while, including in this statement His whole and perfect Self without any division: lest any should endeavour to sever the One Christ into two Sons, but that all should think and believe that the Word begotten of God the Father is one with the Temple assumed from the holy virgin; not that they are of the same essence, but that after their ineffable union, none can speak of severing them without impiety: for the Christ is, of them both, One.
Ye shall seek Me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say unto you.
Not altogether without pain to His own disciples will the departure be, He says; it will be the departure of Himself. In the first place they will languish in |214 grief on account of it, and will find the weight of bitterness produced by it to be intolerable. For beyond all question they will thirst once more to be with Him, and long to live with Him for ever; just as also the inspired Paul, preferring the being with Christ to life itself here, said it was better to depart and be with Christ. Perceiving this, and well knowing the hearts of those who love Him, Christ said that His Ascension would not be without grief to His disciples. But there was also, besides this feeling, another just cause that forced the holy disciples to seek to be with Christ. They were destined within a brief while to be compassed about with grievous dangers, and to be exposed on all sides to the ungovernable frenzies of the Jews, and even to fall victims to madness on the part of strangers, while on their mission through the whole world, preaching the word of the Saviour to those that were still wandering afar; so as to become acquainted with prisons, and to have their part in all kinds of insult and outrage, and to gain no less experience of other tortures: and all this in spite of their never having experienced any such suffering while they were with Christ. "Then most especially," He says, "ye shall seek My company, when the manifold waves of trial break over you." And hereby He sought not to bring the disciples to cowardly timidity, or to shatter their courage with fear; but rather to brace them up to fresh vigour, and in a manner to teach them to be ready prepared for the patient endurance of all which they expected would come upon them. For we shall find the Psalmist's song to be anything but meaningless, nay, rather to convey very profitable instruction in the words: I was prepared and was not confounded. For the wholly unexpected arrival of misfortune is wont to throw us into confusion, taking us as it were off our guard: but when a trial has been known beforehand and long expected, the greater part of the terror it occasions has passed away before it comes, and its power over its victims is not at all |215 absolute, as the mind has already rehearsed it and often in imagination received its attack. In the same way, if some wild and savage animal, starting up from the midst of a luxuriant and dense jungle, rushes on one who does not see it coming, it tears him limb from limb before he is conscious of the attack, having seized him while he was unprepared for warfare: whereas if the beast is seen from afar and its coming expected, it meets an armed foe, and either does him less harm, or perchance has even to depart in helpless impotence. Just so in the case of temptations: that which is wholly unexpected will attack us more fiercely and more severely than one which has been anticipated for some time. With kind intent therefore does our Lord Jesus the Christ in saying "Ye shall seek Me" hint at the evils that will come on the disciples when His presence is removed, and the troubles that will arise from their enemies; preparing them by this warning for a renewal of their courage: with kind intent also He adds to these hints the statement that there will for the present be an obstacle in the way of their following Him. For as I said to the Jews, He says, even so I say now unto you: Whither I go ye cannot come. For not yet was the time come when the disciples should have accomplished their service on earth, and be admitted to the mansions above. For their entrance to those realms was reserved most strictly to its appointed season.
This point however we must notice again, that in speaking to the Jews, while giving to them this same warning, He said: Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me; but to His disciples He only says: Ye shall seek Me, fitly breaking off without the words "and shall not find Me." And why so? The Jews will rightly deserve to be told that they should never find Him, on account of their monstrous infidelity and the surpassing baseness of their impiety towards Him: but to those who have a true affection for Him, and have preserved their love in all sincerity, it could not be fitly said: "Ye shall |216 not find Me." For He was ever with them, and will be with them to the end.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Well and truly writes the inspired Paul: Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. For Christ does renew us, and fashions us again to a newness of life which is unknown to and untravelled by the rest of mankind, who love to regulate their lives by the Law, and remain constant to the precepts given by Moses. For the Law makes nothing perfect, as it is written; but it is very evident that the standard of reverence towards God involved in the commands of our Saviour is the highest possible. For this is why He Himself somewhere says to us: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. We do not wish to struggle against the manner of life of the Jews, and yet except we outstrip very decisively the righteousness contained in the Law, I doubt if we should ever enter into the kingdom of heaven. And we do not mean to assert that the Law as given by Moses was useless and unprofitable: for it has brought to us, albeit imperfectly, a knowledge of good, or at any rate has been found to be a tutor for our instruction as to the nature of the Gospel dispensation. And in bringing before us by hints and types a pattern of the true worship, it imprinted on our minds the dim outline of the teaching we learn from Christ. Hence, surely Christ Himself also said: For I say unto you, that every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a rich man, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. For in very truth it is the highest form of spiritual wealth, that a man should be |217 well versed in the words spoken by Moses, and have all the good that can be derived from them treasured up in his mind, and besides should have added to this store the beauty of the evangelic teaching, and so have twofold ground for boasting, in his knowledge as well of the ancient as of the new laws. Therefore our Lord Jesus the Christ, by way of shewing that His commandment was better than the ancient one, and that His preaching of salvation was as yet foreign to those who regulated their lives by the Law, now that He is about to ascend into heaven, lays down the law of love as a foundation and corner-stone of all that is good, meaning by love not that which was in accordance with, but that which transcended, the Mosaic Law. Therefore He says: A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another. "But tell me now,' some one may say, "why He has called this commandment new, when He had said to former generations by the voice of Moses: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy mind, and thy neighbour as thyself. For see, while setting love to God in its fitting place, in the forefront of and in preeminence to all other affections, He has there introduced in the very next place our mutual love, and has joined with our love to God love to each other, implying that in no other way would love to God rightly exist, except it were accompanied by the love which is due to our neighbour. For we all are brethren one of another. For instance, the very wise John, most excellent alike in knowledge and in teaching, says: He that loveth his brother loveth God. How then cometh a new commandment by Christ, although the very same had been declared by the ancient laws?" But notice, I pray you, the justifying clause; look at the illustration used. He does more than say: A new commandment give I unto you, that ye love one another; He plainly signifies the novelty involved in His command, and the extent by which the love that He enjoins surpasses that old idea of mutual love, by straightway adding the |218 words: Even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
We must investigate therefore the question how the Christ loved us, in order to understand clearly the full force of the words used. For then we shall indeed perceive, and that very easily, the novel character and the changed nature of the commandment now given. We know that, being in the form of God, He counted it not a prize to be on an equality with God, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross. And again: though He was rich, yet He became poor, as Paul elsewhere testifies to us. Dost thou see the novelty of His love towards us? For whereas the Law enjoined the necessity of loving our brethren as ourselves, our Lord Jesus the Christ on the other hand loved us far more than He loved Himself, Else He would never have descended to our humiliation from His original exaltation in the form of God and on an equality with God the Father, nor would He have undergone for our sakes the exceeding bitterness of His death in the flesh, nor have submitted to buffetings from the Jews, to shame, to derision, and all His other sufferings: speaking briefly, so as not to protract our argument to endless length by enumerating everything in detail. Nay, He would never have become poor from being rich, if He had not loved us very exceedingly more than Himself. Marvellous then indeed was the extent of His love. So also He would have us be minded, keeping ever our love to our brethren as superior to all other motives, such as reputation or riches; not hesitating to descend if need be even to death in the flesh, so that we may secure the salvation of our neighbour. And this is exactly what the blessed disciples of our Saviour have done, as also have those that followed in their train; reckoning the salvation of others superior to their own life, enduring |219 toil of all kinds, and suffering the extremest of evils, that so they might sa\e the souls of those that were perishing. For instance, Paul in one place saith: I die daily; and in another again: Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I burn not? Thus the Saviour urges us to practise ever the love that transcends the Law as the root of all true and perfect devotion to God; well knowing that so, assuredly, and not otherwise, we shall be most highly approved in the sight of God, and by tracing out the Divine beauty of the love by Him implanted in us we shall attain to the enjoyment of great and perfect blessings.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye love one another.
You will set upon yourselves, He says, an irresistible and unquestionable mark of your having been My disciples, if you hasten to follow in the track marked out by My own conduct, at least as far as your nature and the limit of human powers will permit; so as to have ever the bond of mutual love firmly drawn, and to be united one to the other in full sympathy, at least to the extent of mutual love and the incomparable glory of affectionateness: for this it is that will stamp on us most exactly the true character of our Master. "Nay, but," some one will object, meeting us perchance with this question: "How comes it that love alone is the characteristic token of discipleship to Christ, whereas in Him there appeared the perfect display of all possible virtues: not exhibited merely in kindness to others, nor again as the outcome of much labour and struggling, as would be the case in a man; but as the natural and essential attributes of His real self? For to the Divine Nature there belong as its special and peculiar attributes things which transcend all wonder."
In very truth, my good sir, we will admit that you acted most rightly in adding this last remark. For the peculiar and especial attributes of the Supreme |220 Essence are the natural fruits of Itself. But it is quite possible to perceive, by looking into the matter, that every species of virtue is necessarily comprehended in perfect love, and that everything which can rightly be looked upon as really and truly good seems to have its principle and aim comprised in love. For this reason, surely, the Law lays it down as a commandment preeminent above all, to love the Lord God with all the soul, and with all the heart, and with all the mind; and, second only to this, there is joined to it in close proximity the sister commandment, to love one's neighbour, which completes the whole Law. So again, the inspired Paul, summarizing all the commandments in this one, writes in an epistle: For this, Thou, shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not swear falsely, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love, therefore, is the fulfilment of the Law. And that love has created for itself a fashion of every kind of virtue within its own proper limits, and as it were embraces within its arms all that is really good, the very wise Paul himself again shall testify, exclaiming: Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, and similar expressions —- for it would be a long task to tell the full extent of love. Most especially then do I say that it is most befitting and right for those who have given themselves up to a life of love that they should make themselves known to all men as having become Christ's disciples, by making the crown of love their chief glory, and by bearing about with them their mutual affection as a sign and seal of their discipleship. And the reason for this I will specify in a few words. Supposing that any ordinary man were practising the art of working in brass or of weaving, would he not appear very evidently to have been a pupil of a brassworker or of a weaver? And what of the man who shows some experience in |221 carpentry? Would he not tell you that the reason why he can succeed in the works of his art is that, while gaining his experience, he had a carpenter as his guide? On just the same grounds I believe that they who display in themselves fully developed the power of Divine love, will speedily make known to the world that they have been disciples of Love, or of Christ Who is filled to the uttermost with love. For He so loved the world as to lay down even His life for it, and to endure the fierceness of Jewish outrages: and He shall Himself testify to this in His words to the disciples: Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. For seeing that God is love, according to the saying of John, He, being the Son of Love, i.e. of Him Who is by nature the only and true God, has Himself also been shown forth to us as love; not resting His claim to the title on elaboration of arguments and grandiloquence of boastful words, but by deeds and positive facts proving Himself to be the Fruit of His Father's Essence. For by no means will we suppose that the Essence which is exalted far above all others is capable of receiving additional good; nor yet will we admit that the possession of any good quality is for It an acquired attribute, as with us; nor again that it is what we term a merely accidental quality, such as may pertain to an ordinary person, similar for example to the knowledge of any science which a man may possess: for man is not in himself knowledge, but is rather a recipient of knowledge; whereas we affirm that the Divine Ineffable Nature is by special right in Itself the sum of all that is good, whatsoever we may believe this to be; and is, as it were, a fountain-head containing within itself every kind of virtue, and pouring it forth in an inexhaustible stream. Most reasonably, therefore, will He, Who is the Fruit of Love, Himself also be Love; and being Himself like to the Father Whose Son He is, He will be shown forth in our lives most chiefly by |222 the token of love, ever engraving on the hearts of good men, as an evident characteristic of their close relationship to Himself, an ardent clinging to the grace of mutual affection. Besides, according to the saying of Paul, Christ is our peace: for in Him all things were united, the world below to the world above; and by His means we were reconciled to God the Father, though we had in old times deliberately wandered far away from Him in our evil courses; and we who had formerly been divided into two peoples, Gentiles and Israelites, were created in Him into one new man, for the middle wall of partition has been broken down, and the power of the enmity abolished, the Law being put to silence by the ordinances of the Gospel. If this be so, how could those who had no peace in their mutual relations be known as disciples of [Him Who is] peace? For what else would be involved in the severance of love than a stirring up of war, and an utter overthrow of peace, and an introduction of every kind of discord? For just as by an unbroken bond of love all the blessings of peace are safely secured to us, so in the same way by the interruption of our love the evil that arises from war finds a way to insidiously enter. And what follows thereupon? Insults arise, and strifes, and jealousies, and angers, and wraths, and whisperings, and back-bitings, and envyings, and every form of baseness.
Seeing therefore that every virtue is summed up and fulfilled in the form and habit of love, let no one among us think highly of himself for fastings, or prostrations on the ground, or any other ascetic practices, unless he be faithful to preserve in all fulness his love for his brethren. For else he is carried away very wide of the turning-post in the race, like the more unskilled of the charioteers; and wanders out of his course like a pilot who, with the ship's rudder in his hand, ignorantly misses the goal that lies directly in front of his course. Wherefore also, he who said in all boldness: If ye seek a proof of Christ that speaketh |223 in me, I mean of course the inspired Paul, gloried not simply in the fact of his hastening onwards, but in the fact of his moving in the right direction, onward towards the goal: for to glory boastfully in bodily labours, while falling short all the while of the more important and essential qualities, this surely is to fail in hastening onwards towards our goal. And he knew so well that love is as it were a corner-stone at the foundation of every virtue, that he most justly says, in eager contention on its behalf: And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing: if I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And so it appears that it is the special glory of love to be in us a figure and characteristic token of belonging to the Saviour Christ.

This page contains a list of publications and other tools for the recreation access activist. This is a "work in progress; "so if you know of something that should be included on this list, please let us know. Many of these products are available from sources other than the Coalition. There is no need to re-invent the wheel. Many of these titles are user group specific, but the information in them isn't.
No public lands advocacy effort can affect access on the ground without a continual and effective presence in the court. Citizens who use and enjoy motorized vehicles are aggressively targeted by numerous and heavily-funded anti-access special interests. Access-friendly decisions must be defended and improper decisions must be challenged.
This a great resource for land use advocates and OHV enthusiasts. These economic impact studies as well as other reports and studies come from a number of different sources throughout the US and are a great source of information on the economic impact of Off Highway Vehicles and motorized recreation has on the economy, tourism and the economic costs of Wilderness.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) are conducting massive land use plan amendments encompassing most BLM land in 10 Western states. Use this webpage as a key resource to track the administrative effort. BRC will continue to monitor and participate in travel planning in sage-grouse habitat, both to provide for recreation and protect natural resources.
Snowmobiling is a wonderful and totally unique way to experience Yellowstone in the winter. Technology allows us to have that experience and minimize impacts. Guides ensure compliance with all Park Service rules. Just like in Canyonlands and Lake Powell, BRC fights to protect snowmobiling in Yellowstone because it's the right thing to do. This section contains alerts and articles specific to Yellowstone National Park.
Sand Mountain, near rapidly-growing St. George, Utah, is a popular off-road recreation area. The area is primarily on Bureau of the Land Management land and encompasses 21,000 acres designated as a Special Recreational Management Area (SRMA) and is an open riding area. The Sand Mountain SRMA was designated almost 20 years ago by the BLM with specific language in the Resource Management Plan stating the land in the SRMA…
Ocotillo Wells (SVRA) offers more than 85,000 acres of desert riding, open for OHV exploration and recreation. Anti-access groups have filed a lawsuit seeking a court order to force CA State Parks to limit off-road vehicle use to designated trails, arguing that the core State Park management policies are illegal and should be changed. This will effectively eliminate Open riding, which has been the traditional use.
The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is in the process of revising their regulations that govern how the agency prepares Forest Plans. Known as the "Planning Rule," these regulations will be the driving force behind how the agency develops, amends and revises their Land Use Plans. The FS is proposing a planning rule that will shift what is left of any emphasis toward multiple use / sustained yield to such things as global warming, ecosystem management…
The recreation permit process as currently implemented on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service (FS) managed lands is overly bureaucratic, expensive for both agencies and the public, and often applied in an unfair and arbitrary manner. Efforts to encourage the agencies to modify and streamline the process have failed. BRC is appealing to legislators to pass a bill that will modify and streamline the Special Recreation/Special Use Permit to better serve the public interest and support the goals of land use planning.

I cannot believe that since I started my blog I didn't posted any beauty related article. Growing up with a mother that had her own Cosmetology firm, I can say that I learned tones of beauty secrets worth sharing. As a child I was so curious to see how my mom treated different skin issues and help other people look and feel beautiful.
Also, we are 5 sisters, 4 girls besides me, so I can definetely say that I learned a lot about self care, what works and what doesn't.
Today I want to share with you some tips about how to keep your face feeling and looking fresh and healthy.
During the last years I received multiple questions about the beauty and skincare products that I use. In this article we are going to talk about how to take care of your face on a daily basis.
So here are 3 things that you should stop doing immediately and 3 things that – if you don't already do – you should start doing ASAP.
At the end of this article I am going to recommend you some products that I am personally using (skincare products that are helping me to maintain a smooth, radiant complexion).
Ok, so let's jump right into it!
Stop doing these 3 things!
Assuming that after removing your face makeup with a wet wipe or micellar water your face is completely clean.
Ok, hear me out. I am not against using wet wipes/micellar water for removing makeup. The problem is if you only do so and then you go to sleep thinking your face is clean. Trust me, you are wrong! Your face is not clean!
If you don't believe me, test it! Use a white damp facecloth/towel and wipe your face gently. You will notice that these products (the makeup remover wipes or micellar water) didn't clean your face entirely. You will see that the towel is not completely white anymore.
2. Overusing face masks, facial peels etc.
I found this to be a very common mistake. Yes, face masks feel great and let your skin smooth and fresh but overusing them makes more damage to your skin than good. Plus, your skin produces a natural oil that has its role. It is called sebum and it works as a ¨bodyguard (or faceguard, lol) that keeps bacterials and fungal infections away.
Trust me, I use to overdo my skincare routine using a bunch of fancy products thinking that my skin will be at its best. I was so wrong! I was not letting the natural oils to do their job!
3. Thinking that any daily moisturizer works for you.
If I would get a dollar for every time I heard my girlfriends picking or recommending a daily face cream because it smells nice I would be rich!
No, no, no. You should actually stay away of face products with strong smell. I believe that the best skincare products are actually having a very discreet and not a strong smell.
What I do and what you should start doing if you want an awesome skin
- After I remove my makeup with a makeup remover wipe I use a mild daily cleanser: the Quench Micro Water Complex Foaming Cleanser that I apply on a pore cleansing silicone pad. This one really hydrates my skin leaving it very soft. I massage my face gently with it and then rinse it off with warm water.
You can also use a face brush but I personally recommend a silicone pad because its not so harsh on your skin and also you have total control with it. You can tell if you need to insist more over some areas or not. Also, it is different than a face brush which is already set to spin at a certain speed. That speed may not work for you. Yes – even the minimum speed, the slow mode, may be too harsh for your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin.
A face brush can over exfoliate your skin!
What I like about using the silicone pad with the daily cleanser is that it leaves my skin supple and refreshingly clean.
2. Regarding the second issue that we previously talk – overusing face masks and not letting your sebum doing its job – you can say ¨Yucks, it sounds gross!¨
I am not saying that you should live with an oily face but try to use face masks or face peels 2 times per week. It is enough.
Or, if you really feel the need to clean your face more or it is necessary for you to use heavy makeup looks daily, do what I do. I like to wear a natural makeup on a daily basis. For that I am using a facial peel more than 2 times per week, maybe 4 days out of 7. But I make sure that its a very smooth one.
From the same set, I use the Quench Micro Water Complex Radiance Facial Peel. This one actually eliminates dry skin and dull skin cells. It doesn't contain harsh chemicals or rough granules.
So, after I remove my makeup with the Foaming Cleanser I apply a thin layer of this Facial peel when my face is still lightly wet. I apply it also on my neck. I leave it on for 1 minute for activation and then I massage my skin using circular motions. I rinse with warm water and I am ready for the last step.
3. I use a moisturizer that suits my skin type. Why I stress so much this aspect? Because using the wrong face cream, on a daily basis, can actually hurt your skin, leaving a very dry/oily skin or it can even cause breakouts.
First – if you don't already know it, I recommend you to find out whats your skin type. There are various ways in which you can do that. The best way is to consult a dermatologist but you can also take an online test or just read an article that will help you determine that.
Then, obviously, choose your daily moisturizer according to your skin type. I use the Quench Micro Water Complex Daily Glow Moisturizer. This product is amazing because it makes my skin vibrant and soft. It is also a perfect primer for foundation and makeup.
Disclosure: This is NOT a sponsored post. Quench Micro Water Complex did not provided this skincare set in exchange for my review/post. I bought it with my personal money. I really like these products so I decided to share my opinion with you.

At the BA: Britain's festival of science and technology rolled into Plymouth this week. New Scientist reports from the British Association for the Advancement of Science - How yuccas neutralise nasty niffs
Yucca plants, strategically deployed, might one day take the pong out
of public toilets, according to recent research at Galway in Ireland. The
plants have already proved their worth in offal-rendering plants and factory
Neighbours stopped complaining of the smell when essence of yucca was
sprayed over existing biofilters made of heather and moss. In later tests,
yucca extracts fed to factory-farmed pigs cleared the choking atmosphere
inside the piggeries – to the benefit of both pigs and farm workers. Denis
Headon, professor of biochemistry at the National University of Ireland,
Galway, finds that yucca sweetens the air by binding the ammonia given off
by animal excretions, especially the urea in urine.
Yucca plants (Yucca schidigera) have their own reasons for soaking up
ammonia. They live in the southwestern deserts of the US where nitrogen,
as well as water, is in short supply. The plants have solved one of their
problems by evolving a way to make a meal out of the ammonia emanating from
the waste products of desert animals.
In the raw, ammonia is highly volatile and toxic to animals and plants
alike. But yucca can apparently bind ammonia in such a way as to make it
nonvolatile and nontoxic. The plants then exploit the nitrogen in the ammonia
to manufacture the proteins vital for their rapid growth.
Agriculturalists have long known that livestock fed with yucca extracts
produce less ammonia, but thought that the plant's saponins deserved the
credit. The idea was that saponins inhibit the enzyme urease, which releases
ammonia from urea.
Headon and his colleagues have now found that yucca preparations still
bind ammonia even after the saponins have been removed. Headon's experiments
strongly suggest that yucca's odour-eating properties come from its ability
to bind ammonia, rather than from any blocking of the enzyme. This explains
why yucca in chicken feed also reduces ammonia emissions from battery hen
houses, even though chickens excrete uric acid, which is not directly attacked
by urease. But, as yet, the identity of yucca's ammonia-binding molecules
remain mysterious.
Headon is now studying the Quillaia plant which dominates the Chilean
deserts. It too binds ammonia.

What could be more appropriate for the heat of the season to bring than the Summer of Love. The Summer of Love fashion fair is conceived and organized by the same talented souls who brought us the Black & Blue Fair…Fashion for Mental Health Awareness. The Summer of Love takes that same concept — mixing wonderful fashion with information to create mental health awareness — and extends the concept by focusing the information on abusive relationships and self-esteem issues. As with the Black & Blue Fair, the Summer of Love is not a charity. So even though the lindens do not go to a charity, this is a wonderful event I can get behind because love and a healthy self love are powers that I fully believe in.
Here then is something I forever completely adore…a gorgeous butterfly.
This ensemble from N1CO called "Ileana" is an amazing creation of fantasy wear. When you wear "Ileana," you emerge out of a cocoon of bodywear and prims into the wings and fluttering trails of butterflies that alight about you in a blissful dance.
To complete the feeling of being enveloped by the gorgeous creature, the gown's front gathering is made of an adornment (with feelers) that resembles the body of a beautiful butterfly. The butterfly trails and feelers flow gracefully about you, joyfully kissing your every movement from every angle:
I took the photos of this amazing creation while in Chakryn Forest, but I also took some photos on a white screen to show the detail in the tendrils…and also to show how beautiful the gown looks even if you should opt not to wear the skirt portion with the front feelers. For example:
Do note there are gentle back feelers that attach to the back of the shoulder strap. Also note that the hair and the gloves come with this purchase. Indeed, this entire ensemble, look, and statement bursts with a wonderfulness that won't be denied. Perfect, not only for a summer of love, but perfect, indeed, for an eternity of love. My butterfly and I.

Vocabulary level as cognitive reserve proxy in evaluating mild cognitive impairment
This paper studies the role of vocabulary as an indicator of cognitive reserve in the evaluation of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Three hundred twenty-six participants aged 50 years were classified into two groups, one of 104 patients with MCI and other of 222 healthy controls. We analyzed differences in the scores on different indicators of cognitive reserve, including scores on the WAIS vocabulary subtest and the vocabulary test Peabody. To analyze the effect of these indicators in the prevalence of MCI a logistic regression analysis was carried out.
The results indicated that the MCI group had significantly lower scores than the controls in tasks of vocabulary and in reading habits. The low scores on vocabulary tests were the cognitive reserve measures that best predicted the risk of MCI. The high level of vocabulary seems to help the increasing of cognitive reserve as an indicator protective against cognitive decline.
