Why Relationships Can Be So Hard? (Article 17-17)
Relationships are one of the most challenging things to engage in life. Making it even more trying is that everything in life is based on relationships – that being an interrelated connection with someone that deals with some state of affairs or matters. Relationships affect the way we feel and behave toward each other. This is true whether in it's in the workplace, dealing with business affairs, friendships or something more intimate such as spiritual relationships, relationships with family members, and marital relationships. It’s impossible to exist in the world without engaging in relationships of some sort. Some relationships may feel rewarding, fulfilling, and beneficial, while others seem to present the most difficult, frustrating and emotionally draining events in our lives. Does God even want us to have relationships? If so, does He care about the relationships we pursue and engage in, especially as it relates to our happiness? As it relates to intimate relationships, is God interested in our specific relational choices? Does God embrace romance? The answer to all these questions is “Yes.”
God Intends Us to Have Relationships and Romance
In the beginning, God created man to have a relationship with Him, and He with Adam. It wasn’t a mere relational acquaintance, but a very intimate relationship. In fact, God resided in Adam’s soul and reigned over his life. It was a relationship that can be characterized as one of “spiritual intercourse.” It was also a relationship that can be described as the exchanging of deep thoughts and feelings for each other. So strong and deep were Adam’s feelings for God, he didn’t even take note of his physical presence. It wasn't until he disobeyed God that he noticed his nakedness. He only saw and heard God. So strong was God’s relationship with Adam, he took a personal interest in Adam’s lonely state and gave Him Eve (Genesis 2:18).
Scripture also reveals God’s romantic side. Abraham sends his servant to find a wife for his son Isaac. When Isaac sees Rebekah and Rebekah sees Isaac, well, you know the rest of the story. By way of scripture reading, you sense the passion and love they had for each other. They were inseparable. King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, loved romance, as his Father King David. In Psalms 1:9-17, King Solomon begins his writings with “I liken you, my darling, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariot horses” He goes on to say “Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels. We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver. ”How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.” The assumedly beautiful damsel he writes to reciprocates in kind. Well, I’ll let you read her responses...oh boy! The Book of Ruth is also a very romantic story between two improbable candidates who come together in love and marriage. So yes, God is romantic, and He wants us to have romantic relationships.
If it is God’s will for us to have relationships, and not just any relationship but meaningful and romantic ones, why can they seem to be so difficult to find? Why can intimate relationships be so difficult? To answer this question, we must recognize that there is a direct correlation between the complexities associated with our relationships and the expectations we put on them regarding personal happiness and fulfillment. When I say relational “complexities,” I mean the degree of intimacy, feelings, and emotions associated with our relationships. We must also recognize that most people do not engage in bonds for the benefit of the other person, but rather for personal gain. As such, we engage in relationships with person expectations of what the link should provide by way of happiness and unfortunately, in my view, tangible (worldly or fleshly) benefits.
When relationships fail to meet one’s expectations, they often are abandoned. If two people continue to engage in an unfulfilling relationship, friction builds between the two parties often leading to confrontation, and sometimes emotionally or physically abusive behavior. Relative to relationships, we often have relational expectations that are often based on unrealistic beliefs, opinions, and expectations of what one should be to the other. Our most personal relationships are predefined in our minds and with it, expectations of what the other party should be to them by way of happiness. However, our expectations often contradict reality. This is when everything seems to go wrong, and the relationship heads “south.” Instead of the relationship being an uplifting and constructive force in our lives, a bad relationship leads to each other’s demise and depending on the complexities associated with the link, can lead to utter destruction. Yes, bad relationships can lead us to become disillusioned to whether good and fulfilling relationships are possible and whether love is real and even exists.
The Deception and Danger of Relationship Clichés
We’ve heard them before – the relationship Clichés “Opposites attract”; There’s a pot for every lid”; “You’re going to make someone happy someday”; “Never settle for anything less than a fairy tale”; “Time is everything”; and my personal favorite “Relationships are a give and take” affair. The problem I have with relationship-based clichés is that each and every one of them puts the onus of finding, understanding and having meaningful relationships on one's own abilities. With this comes our defining of personal relationship by the way in a “performance-based” and "conditional" manner. Subsequently, this often leads to one’s willingness to give or receive love based on certain conditions first being met. The relationships are built on a foundation of “conditional” instead of “unconditional” love. For example, going back to my sarcastically referred to favorite cliché, “Relationships are given and take” affairs, we can see that to receive love, attention, and affection in a relationship, one must first compromise or submit to another’s expectations. I'm confident in saying that we all experience instances in a relationship when “give and take” is a mechanism whereby we cannot expect to receive something if we don’t offer something in turn. Once the balance between giving and taking is broken, difficulties arise, and partners feel they are not getting too much from their relationship. This is not what God intends relationships to be. God never withholds His love for us until we meet His expectations. God’s love is never conditional. Give thanks to our Holy Father in Heaven this is true, for if it was not the case, there would never be any hope for God to love us. God intends our relationships not to be "given and take" arrangements, but rather a “give and give” arrangement, and we are to do so unconditionally. We are never to withhold our love: our patience, kindness, forgiveness, understanding, or compassion for the purpose of certain expectations to be met.
We Are to Be "Evenly Yoked" In Our Relationships
Scripture tells us to be “evenly yoked” in our relationships (2 Corinthians 6:14). When Paul refers to being “evenly yoked,” he doesn’t mean for us to engage in a relationship with another person who has similar worldly interests as you do. He says we must be evenly yoked spiritually as believers in Christ and all that it entails. We are to be equally yoked in our desire to abide in Christ for all things. We are to be evenly yoked in our understanding of what it means to be humble (knowing who we are in relation to God, and our need for Him in all things). We are to be evenly yoked in our understanding of what God means to be meek (to submit and serve each other). We are to be evenly yoked in God’s definition of forgiveness. We are to be equally yoked in understanding the importance of righteousness (being in right standing with God). Above all, we are to be evenly yoked in our quest and yearn to be one with God. In 2 Corinthians 6:14, Paul is telling us that we should never engage in personal relationships when one (or both) is not a believer in Christ. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? What fellowship can light have with darkness? Paul is telling us that the answer is nothing. When one is a believer and one is not, or when both are not believers, there is no hope of ever having a fulfilling and loving relationship – at least not in a way God intends. We find fulfilling relationships by first turning to and submitting to the will of Christ. It is only by means of Christ’s Spirit (the Holy Spirit) can we find the needed instruction and guidance on what and how we should be to each other in a relationship. If we depend on our own devices or abilities to figure relationships out, we will fail.
We Must Stop Defining Relationships By Our Own Expectations
What makes relationships so difficult are the personal expectations we place on relationships as defined by the world. If we insist on identifying and engaging relationships in this way, they will be fraught with complications and friction. See, our relationships need to be based on how God defines them and intends them to be. Whether you accept this fact or not, God knows what we need better than what we believe we need. Instead of looking at the world to define relationships and love, and subsequently, the shaping of our own relational expectations, we should be looking to God. For if we do, we discover the fulfilling experience differences in relationships that are driven by selflessness instead of selfishness. With this difference too, is a strong desire to focus on what the other person needs instead of what we need.
Really think about and meditate on these points. If both partners are focused on each other and what each other needs by way of love, there will be no friction. How can there be? Where can conflict exist when the only thing to do is to only receive each other’s love - love that is not tied to personal expectations or conditions to first be met. The days of "tug and war", constant arguing, accusations and allegations, silent treatments, and manipulation are over. Unconditional love knows none of these things. Unconditional love represents an eternal circle of giving to each other - a perpetual, contagious, fulfilling and joyful experience. These points also hold true with platonic relationships associated with the workplace, community, and business. We need to engage all relationships with a spirit of meekness – the desire to give and to serve, and with it, the intent to see the person we serve, succeed.
God created us to desire, seek, and engage in meaningful, fulfilling, loving relationships. But it doesn’t begin with worldly relationships. It begins with having an intimate relationship with Christ. We must submit to His Will, which is at the center of the Father’s will. It is only by submitting to Him can we begin to understand what God intended relationships to be, first with Him and then with others. It is only by abiding in Christ (John 15) can we ever hope to have fulfilling and meaningful relationships with anyone, and with it, interconnection with all believers in the Body of Christ. God knows what we need, and if we put our trust and faith in Him, He will lead us to the fulfilling relationships we all seek and hope to have while here on earth.

Just consider this me backseat driving our bus system…
By perhaps the 2nd or 3rd day of snow and only after a painful learning curve, buses in Seattle seem to have settled into a comfortable routine. Sure it’s a routine where half of the buses aren’t running, and most routes are unpredictable in terms of pickup and travel times, but at least the routes have settled down. However, these routes don’t look much like their published adverse weather routes (for example the 13 adverse weather route – had planned on still making it up the hill). And during the first days of snow people were stranded without even knowing which bus stop to wait at or which bus to take.
I humbly submit to the Internet my weather plan for the next snow season.
1. Find the most level, drivable route to serve a neighborhood. One way of doing this is to look at the routes as they exist right now. Now name these routes something easy, like #1S replacing the #1 (S for snow).
2. At the first hint of snow, announce to every media outlet you can that Seattle will be switching to snow routes. This shouldn’t be hard, since news reporters love this sort of thing. And don’t overlook the “first hint of snow” piece of this – buses are no good to anyone if they’re broken down on hills.
3. At every stop list directions to the nearest snow route stop, the snow route number, and a phone number to call if you need assistance (for those that can’t walk down a snow-covered hill).
4. Every non-articulated bus that serves a route that is canceled should now join these snow routes. This is critical, since we need to keep frequency high on these now overloaded routes.
5. 4×4 shuttle buses can ferry people up and down hills where required.
6. I’d have the city send someone around to shovel snow off of at least a few walking routes from each hill.
Yes, this will result in people that live on hills having to do a little more walking in the snow. But I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking an extra 10 minute walk to a reliable and predictable bus beats the current system hands-down.

Carl is a medical sociologist with additional interests in implementation science and health services research. His research is framed by two basic questions:
- How do professionals and patients interact, and how are these interactions shaped by clinical knowledge, technique and technology in practice?
- How are new knowledge, techniques and technologies made workable and implemented in health care organizations?
Beginning with studies of professional-patient interaction, knowledge and practice, his work has shifted over time to explore help-seeking and referral behaviours and the translation of evidence into practice in the management of long-term and life-limiting conditions. In parallel he has also studied the development and implementation of innovations in health technology and organization. These studies have led to the development of a novel conceptual model of individual and organizational behaviour (Normalization Process Theory, with Dr Tracy Finch) which facilitates understanding of the mechanisms through which practices of care and self-care become embedded in their social contexts. Extending this work in collaboration with Professor Victor Montori (Mayo Clinic, US) and Professor Frances Mair (Glasgow University, Scotland) led first to the development of a novel methodology for clinical practice (Minimally Disruptive Medicine), and then to the development of a robust theoretical model of patient behaviour (Burden of Treatment Theory). These developments facilitate understanding of help-seeking and service utilization, and take into account the wider socio-economic environment and social or relational networks in which the patient is set.

Although she was inspired by her uncle’s music, she also fantasized about adventures. She wanted to release an album that was free of judgment, and included a nod Black and queer music icons.

[It is] not conservative ... to not fix something until it is so broken we have to spend a lot more to repair it.
I’m not a big fan of another (highway funding) study, because we all know what the answer is, right? We have to raise more revenue in some way or the other. That’s what it really comes down to.
- Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, Assembly District 63
We've made some very difficult decisions and things that have put us in the right spot. We admit this [transportation] is one that we still have to tackle. (But) this is not a unique situation we are facing in Wisconsin.
- Representative John Nygren, Co-Chair of the Joint Finance Committee, Assembly District 89
We can’t kick the can down the road any longer. I know we’ve said that before - but we can’t.
- Senator Alberta Darling, Co-Chair of the Joint Finance Committee, Senate District 8
Potholes, traffic delays and safety hazards are taking their toll on Wisconsin motorists. There’s a real cost to Wisconsin families if we ignore these problems and kick the can down the road. I urge Gov. Walker and my colleagues to join me in working toward a long-term transportation funding solution that protects Wisconsin jobs and strengthens economic development opportunities.
- Senate Minority Leader Jennifer Shilling, Senate District 32
I am concerned that this vital economy will quickly erode if we don’t take care of our rural roads so we can get our goods to market. Rural areas need good roads just as much as Milwaukee does, and I’ll keep fighting to get our fair share.
- Representative Lee Nerison, Assembly District 96
You don’t have to do much driving around the state to know that many of our roads are falling apart….We can’t continue to ignore our transportation infrastructure, and we can’t simply rely on the state credit card to fund it. We need to come together on a bipartisan basis to look seriously at all of the funding alternatives, and then have the political courage to put forward a balanced plan that protects the billions of dollars taxpayers have already invested.
- Senator Julie Lassa, Senate District 24
Budgets should provide for the necessities of today as well as prepare for the priorities of the future. In the area of transportation, this budget falls short on both accounts. Infrastructure is the backbone of the economy, and maintaining our roads and bridges is necessary for economic growth. For at least the last decade, Wisconsin has failed to adequately maintain its roads, especially in the western and central parts of the state. The Zoo interchange is important, but so are our farm-to-market roads.
- Representative Edward Brooks, Assembly District 50

Initially, it can be hard to imagine being ready to remarry after divorce. The process of dissolution can be painful, both emotionally and financially. According to a 2014 Pew Research study, remarriage is on the rise. At least 40% of marriages include at least one previously married partner.
Remarriage could be in your future. If you do remarry after divorce, there are steps you can take to prevent conflicts you may have experienced during your first marriage or divorce. You can also make choices that help protect your kids and assets.
Why do marriages fail?
It’s an age-old question that actually has some answers: why do marriages fail? Marriages fail for many reasons, but there are some common struggles that couples face. If you plan to remarry after divorce, make sure you’ve addressed potential problems with your new partner before tying the knot.
- Money – Many marriages fail due to the stress or arguments surrounding money and finances. It can be a serious pain point that is made worse when partners aren’t on the same page. A loss of income, excessive spending, financial secretiveness or other behaviors that create stress about money (or lack thereof) can quickly crumble a marriage.
- Differing values – Couples need to have similar values. While many believe opposites attract, that attraction may not be enough to save a marriage when values differ too much. Key values include how to raise children, attitudes toward money and success, religion, education and more. While some couples can make it work with differing values, many cannot. It is essential to discuss as many values as possible before marriage.
- No connection – If you don’t take the time to nurture your relationship, chances are you may be heading toward divorce. Going out with friends, pursuing your hobbies and spending excessive amounts of time away from home can drive a wedge between spouses. No one said marriage was easy, so make sure you have a partner you connect with and enjoy being around.
Differences when you remarry after divorce
Many things are different after a first marriage. If you have kids, it can make finding the time to date a little more challenging. Many parents wait to make sure a relationship is going somewhere before bringing the kids into it.
How you approach a second marriage may differ, too. For example, you may decide that conversations about money, values and relationship effort need to take place before committing to a serious relationship. You may also want to safeguard yourself. Some ways you can do that include:
- Prenuptial agreement. Protect your assets and children by openly talking about money. Work with an attorney to create a clear prenup to protect both of you, in case you need it.
- Spell things out clearly. If you believe that couples should share chores, make it well known ahead of time. The same goes for your opinions on how to share responsibility for raising kids, preparing meals, taking care of the bills and so on.
- Take your time. Don’t jump into a marriage right away. Instead, take the time to ask questions and discover if this partnership is right for you.

News briefs: 7.20.07
Vick's Celebrity Won't Faze Judge
When Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick appears in federal court next week on dogfighting charges, he'll go before a judge not impressed by Vick's celebrity and in a court known nationwide for its speedy handling of cases.
Legal experts describe U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson as a tough but fair jurist who, in five years on the federal bench, has become known for handing down stiff sentences, for being prepared and for allowing both sides to show their cards.
"Trial lawyers love to appear in his court because he lets the lawyers try their case," defense attorney and former prosecutor William J. Dinkin of Richmond said. "Everyone is going to get their fair shake. He's a very evenhanded trial judge."
Vick's appearance July 26 along with three other defendants will be to enter pleas to charges of competitive dogfighting, procuring and training pit bulls for fighting, and conducting the enterprise across state lines. If convicted of both felony charges, the four face up to six years in prison, fines of up to $350,000 and restitution.
Vick's legal troubles prompted Nike on Thursday to suspend the release of its latest product line named after the Atlanta Falcons quarterback. Nike has told retailers it will not release a fifth signature shoe, the Air Zoom Vick V, this summer.
Francis Returning to Rockets
Steve Francis has agreed to a deal with the Houston Rockets, his agent Jeff Fried said Thursday.
Before he was traded to Orlando in 2004 as part of a multiplayer deal that brought Tracy McGrady to the Rockets, Francis spent his first five NBA seasons with the Rockets.
He was sent to the Knicks in early 2006 and played for them until he was traded to Portland last month in a draft-night deal. The Trail Blazers bought out his contract for a reported $30 million last week, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Fried would not release terms of the deal, but said other teams offered more lucrative contracts. Miami, Dallas and the Los Angeles Clippers were interested in the 30-year-old guard.
Francis played just 44 games for the Knicks last season while dealing with injuries, averaging a career-low 11.3 points. The three-time All-Star has averaged 18.4 points and 6.1 assists in his eight-year NBA career.
ALSO: Gerald Wallace signed his six-year, $57 million contract with Charlotte. ... Los Angeles Lakers center Chris Mihm re-signed with the team after missing all of last season following reconstructive ankle surgery.
Arbour Coaching Islanders Once More
Al Arbour has one more milestone to reach behind the New York Islanders bench.
Already with 739 Islanders wins — the most for a coach with one team in NHL history — and four straight Stanley Cup championships from 1980-83, Arbour will return to Long Island for one night to lead the club for a record 1,500th time.
The Islanders announced Thursday that Arbour will coach the team Nov. 3 — two days after his 75th birthday — at home against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
With permission from the NHL, Arbour will sign a one-day contract on Nov. 2 — taking over from current coach Ted Nolan — and then extend his mark for the most games coached with one team.
"This is an incredible gesture by Ted and the Islanders," the Hall of Famer said in a statement released by the team. "I am flattered that Ted thought of me and I wouldn't miss this night for the world."
The idea came from Nolan, who grew tired of what he saw on a ceiling-to-floor clear plastic board in the hallway leading to the team's dressing room that highlights Islanders award winners and all kinds of statistical achievements.
"Every day it would kill me when I'd see Coach Arbour made it to 1,499 games," Nolan said in the statement.
He spoke to Arbour earlier this week, and the one-day coaching plan was hatched.
Robert Hunter of South Africa became the first rider from his country to win a Tour de France stage on Thursday, winning the 11th stage in 3 hours, 47 minutes, 50 seconds. Michael Rasmussen of Denmark retained the yellow jersey and is 2:35 ahead of second-place Alejandro Valverde. ... Ultimate Fighting lightweight champion Sean Sherk and challenger Hermes Franca received one-year suspensions and were fined $2,500 each by the California State Athletic Commission on Thursday for failing drug tests after their July 7 bout at UFC 73. Sherk tested positive for nandrolone metabolites while Franca tested positive for drostanolone. Both are types of steroids.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Eric Paschall had 17 points, including a 3-pointer with 2:50 to go, to help rally No. 3 Villanova past Western Michigan 76-65 at the Charleston Classic on Thursday.

Golfing in Hermanus
The Hermanus Golf Course, situated between mountain and sea in the Eastcliff suburb of Hermanus, must be one of the most beautiful courses in the country. There is a sea or mountain view from every hole and the rich fynbos gardens – from wetlands to mountain and coastal fynbos species – are spectacular. The course is tricky for accomplished golfers but forgiving enough for the social golfer to enjoy. Pretty water and rocky features make it a visual delight and a golfing challenge.
There is a resident troop of baboons that add a wildlife touch to the whole experience. They are quite used to the presence of golfers and generally sit around munching roots and seeds under the watchful eyes of the baboon monitors. The monitors ensure that the troop stays away from the residential suburbs.
The first golf course, nine holes only, was built in 1907 on the site of what is today the Provincial Hospital and it was relocated to the present site in 1923. It was re-opened by His Royal Highness, Prince Arthur of Connaught, one of the many “royals” who used to frequent Hermanus for holidays in those days. The course was designed by Archi Tosh, the first PRO of the club Bob Grimsdell.
The course was later upgraded to 27 holes and now incorporates Fernkloof Estate. The addition of tees was initiated to cater for championships, members, seniors and ladies so that all levels of golfers can participate. This upgrading, designed by golf course architect Peter Matkovich, has placed the Hermanus Golf Course amongst the world class courses in the country. The course was ranked 42nd in the Golf Digest Top 100 courses in 2012.
The club house, bar and verandas are comfortable and sociable venues where visitors and members can enjoy meals and drinks throughout the year. A privately run restaurant caters for meals as well.

One looks like a highlighter. Another like an ipod. They can be in the shape of lighters, a pack of gum or bracelets.
The devices are used for vaping, a method of inhaling vapor and nicotine, and it is happening in Zionsville Community Schools. The vaping industry began in 2004 with the introduction of modern e-cigarettes and is expected to a $23 billion industry by 2023.
Vaping and e-cigarette devices have become the No. 1 tobacco products used by teens in the United States, according to the Center for Disease Control. In 2017, 11.7 percent of high school students and 3.3 percent of middle school students reported using electronic cigarettes in the past 30 days.
“They look really sleek and they look really techie, but in particular they look so discrete,” said Claire Haughton, public health educator for the Boone County Health Dept.
Vape flavors like watermelon punch, sour worms and cotton candy make them even more appealing to youth. Devices with names like JUUL have become one of the more popular products, which have the look of a flash drive and the ability to recharge through a computer’s USB port.
“A lot of schools are having problems with it because kids are using it in class or using it in the bathroom,” said Haughton, noting that students may exhale into their arm or under a shirt.
E-cigarettes and vaping materials are unregulated by the FDA. Even those without nicotine can still contain harmful chemicals.
Close to Home
Vaping is a relatively new concern in ZCS. During the 2016-17 school year, there were 10 suspensions involving vaping or possessing materials. Last year, that number doubled.
ZCS Supt. Scott Robison said vaping is much easier to hide than cigarette smoking and speculated that it’s likely happening without detection.
“With a ‘hit’ from a vaping pen, Juul device, etc., taking less than a couple of seconds, it is extremely easy to conceal,” Robison said via email.
The fruity smell emitted from the devices can often be mistaken for gum or candy.
“The old version of the problem was smoking,” Robison said. “Vaping is just the new incarnation of the deadly habit of ingesting something into one’s lungs.”
School officials worry that the prevalence of discrete products like JUUL may entice more students to engage in the behavior.
E-cigarettes were the most popular form of tobacco use by Indiana youth in 2016, according to the CDC, but the current use is lower than the national average, with 2.8 percent of middle schoolers and 10.5 percent of high schoolers reporting e-cigarette use within the past 30 days. However, the percentage of Indiana adults who use e-cigarettes is higher than the national average, according to the CDC.
Being able to purchase materials online without proof of age has allowed youth to obtain devices, and many acquire e-cigarettes in their own homes.
“We have become aware of cases in which parents have supplied vaping devices and smoking substances to their children,” Robison said.
Haughton said some students have reportedly charged classmates a fee for a few puffs on vaping devices.
A Hidden Danger
Although some vape juices are labeled nicotine-free, Haughton said many do contain the substance.
“We’ve seen that people who are exposed to nicotine are more likely to get addicted to different substances later in life,” Haughton said. “It’s really hard to study the lifetime effects that (vaping) can have on a person when they really haven’t been around for a lifetime.”
E-cigarettes and vaping materials are unregulated by the FDA, compounding the problem. In 2016, the FDA announced that vaping products would come under the same scrutiny as cigarettes, but the deadline to request approval has been extended until 2022.
Locally, the Boone County Health Dept. supports raising the tobacco purchase age, increasing tax on electronic products and implementing stronger rules for online purchases to help curb use by youths.
Because the devices are small and leave little evidence, sometimes parents may not realize they are being used. Unexplained scents, gadgets that look strange or don’t work, sensitivity to caffeine, increased thirst and nose bleeds can be indicators of vaping.
“Families/parents that haven’t used tobacco products (are) probably the most naive,” said Cindy Murphy, division administrator for the Boone County Health Dept. “That’s not their world.”
It’s important for families to have an open, non-judgmental conversation about vaping with their children, according to Haughton.
“This isn’t something that they should ignore,” she said.
Sharing the health risks through conversations or text is a way the CDC also suggests connecting with teens.
“There’s so much that we don’t know about them. It’s important to outline the health consequences,” Haughton said. “It wasn’t too long ago that people thought that cigarettes were healthy.”
What is vaping?
Electrical vaping devices consist of a mouthpiece, cartridge or refillable tank and a battery to heat it, which produces aerosol.
“Just like an aerosol would be released from spray paint,” said Claire Haughton, public health educator for the Boone County Health Dept. “A really common misconception is that they just release water vapor,”
Haughton noted that even aerosols without nicotine can still release dangerous chemicals, such as formaldehyde.
The cartridge or tank of e-juice, sometimes known as vaping juice, is filled with the flavored substance, plus chemicals like propylene glycol or glycerin, and often nicotine. Cartridges can have the look and appearance of a pack of gum, resulting in lawsuits and warnings from the FDA regarding similarities in packaging.
“We are seeing increased calls to poison control hotlines because little kids are (ingesting) these,” Haughton said. “It looks like candy, it smells like candy.”
Vaping initially became popular as an alternative to cigarettes. Murphy said she doesn’t discourage the use of vaping devices by adults who want to stop smoking, but notes it’s only a step in the right direction to completely break nicotine addiction.
For those looking for resources to stop tobacco use, a free hotline, 1-800-QUIT-NOW, provides individualized advice based on age and situation. Websites like QuitNow.net and TruthInitiative.org can also provide guidance and support.
The Boone County Health Dept. also offers periodic smoking cessation classes.

HATTIESBURG, MS (Mississippi News Now) - Some breast cancer patients feel like they lose a part of themselves after undergoing surgery, but a local tattoo artist is helping women feel whole again.
Becky Olson of Hattiesburg is a tattoo artist, but she does not do traditional tattoos.
"I can do pretty much anything from vitiligo scaring to areolas to actually decreasing the size of a scar or making it completely disappear," Olson said.
Olson has been a tattoo artist for 12 years. She began paramedical tattooing six years ago, but two years ago she began helping breast cancer patients who lost their areola, or nipple, due to a mastectomy.
"I also do areola tattooing for breast cancer patients and I do a 3D image there which make you actually look as if you have a nipple," Olsen said.
Olson said it takes about an hour and a half to complete an areola tattoo. She said she tries her best to meet the client's wants and needs.
"I'll talk to them and try to figure out what colors they really desire," Olson said. "If their areola was darker than I try to use a darker color and if it is lighter we us a lighter color. Most women don't really care. They just want something there."
Olson is currently the only paramedical tattoo artist in the Pine Belt area. Her first breast cancer client, Dawn Gillis, said Olsen helps women feel whole again.
"For someone who doesn't have what Mother Nature gave you, you feel a little not whole," Gillis said. "Some women feel it more than others. I wouldn't wear certain types of clothing because of it."
Gillis was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997. Since receiving her areola tattoos two years ago, she tries to spread awareness about the procedure through the Waiting for a Cure Foundation.
"You don't have to settle for nothing," Gillis said. "If there are other organizations out there that will help you cover the cost, by all means do it. You can feel good about yourself again. You can feel whole about yourself again."
Olson works at the Body Shop Ink in Hattiesburg. She provides a variety of services for scar removal and areola revision.
The Waiting for a Cure Foundation helps to financially support breast cancer patients interested in areola tattooing.

- Manchester United and Liverpool target Gareth Bale is happy at Real Madrid
- The Welshman’s agent believes he’s worth as much as Neymar
- Bale has been linked with a return to the Premier League
- READ MORE: Arsenal on alert as Man Utd star assessing his options following Alexis Sanchez transfer
Manchester United and Liverpool have been given an update on their hopes of sealing the transfer of Gareth Bale – and it’s not too encouraging from the Real Madrid star’s agent.
The Wales international may not have been at his best at Real for some time now, but his representative insists he’s happy in Madrid and that it would cost huge money for him to move anyway.
Don Balon recently linked Bale with Liverpool, claiming the Reds had made a bid of around £88million for the former Tottenham man, but his agent Jonathan Barnett says he’s worth as much as Neymar, whom BBC Sport had down as costing £200m when he moved from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
Another recent report from Don Balon claimed United were making progress in talks to bring Bale to Old Trafford, but they may have been wide of the mark if Barnett’s latest quotes are anything to go by.
‘Bale? I think he’s worth as much as Neymar. He loves Real Madrid and doesn’t want to leave,’ Barnett told Tuttosport, as translated by the Manchester Evening News.
‘Gareth does not need Ronaldo to leave Real Madrid, he is already a top star of the club.’
This certainly doesn’t look like much of an opening for United or Liverpool to bring Bale back to England any time soon, though both clubs could do with a player like him in their ranks.
Liverpool recently sold a star attacking player in the form of Philippe Coutinho, while United still look to be lacking something up front even after signing Alexis Sanchez in January.

Heavenly looking as well as heavenly tasting, meringue is simply egg whites and sugar whipped and baked into fluffy, billowy clouds. The French style is traditional, but for sky-high meringue pies and the incomparably glamorous dessert known as pavlova, we turn away from tradition.
French meringue is called for often in dessert making: It gets folded into cake batters, baked as is for cookies, used to top pies, and shaped into pavlovas. But we’ve found that a towering topping of French meringue doesn’t cook through on our lemon meringue pie, and a pavlova made with French meringue requires too much guesswork to determine when it has reached the correct doneness temperature. That’s because French meringue is the fussiest style. The sugar must be added to the egg whites at precisely the right moment: too soon and the meringue won’t inflate properly; too late and the meringue will be gritty.
So we favor one of the other two styles of meringue, where the sugar is dissolved right from the start. Italian meringue involves making a sugar syrup and beating it into egg whites as they are whipped. Swiss meringue involves gently warming sugar and egg whites in a bowl over simmering water until the sugar is dissolved and then whipping the mixture. These meringues are most commonly used for buttercream frostings.
We like the lighter Italian meringue for topping meringue pies. The sugar syrup of our Italian meringue transforms egg whites into a tall, extra-fluffy topping that cooks through and is stable enough to resist unattractive weeping, one of the banes of lemon meringue pie.
Using the firmer Swiss meringue for pavlova guarantees success, with a couple of alterations. The typical temperature for the egg white
mixture before whipping is 140 degrees, but heating the whites to 160 degrees causes them to become more tightly knit. Increasing the amount of sugar draws more water from the egg whites so the meringue’s exterior crisps up during baking, to achieve the desired textural contrast between crisp outer shell, marshmallowy interior, and pleasant chew where the two textures meet.
1A FOR ITALIAN MERINGUE Bring sugar and water to vigorous rolling boil and cook until mixture is slightly thickened and syrupy. Remove from heat.
2A Using stand mixer fitted with whisk, whip egg whites on medium-low speed until frothy. Add salt and cream of tartar and whip, gradually increasing speed, until whites hold soft peaks.
3A With mixer running, slowly pour hot syrup into whites. Add vanilla and whip until meringue is cooled, very thick, and shiny.
1B FOR SWISS MERINGUE Combine sugar and egg whites in stand mixer bowl over saucepan of simmering water. Whisking gently, heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture registers 160 to 165 degrees.
2B Using stand mixer fitted with whisk, whip mixture on high speed until it forms stiff peaks and is smooth, creamy, and bright white.
3B Scrape down bowl, add vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla, and whip on high speed until combined.

Biomass, a renewable fuel source for generating energy, is available in large quantities in the USA. Typical biomass consists of wood chips, construction and demolition wood, bark, residual logging debris, saw dust, paper rejects, and paper and sewage sludge. Composition and moisture content of biomass vary greatly and affect its heating value. There are several combustion technologies available to generate power from biomass. Fluidized bed boilers are preferred, because of their ability to burn a wide variety of biomass fuels while achieving high combustion efficiency and low emissions. This paper discusses basic design and operation features of bubbling (BFB) and circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers, both offering high fuel flexibility. In fluidized bed combustion, reactive biomass fuels are almost completely burned out because of close contact between the hot bed material and the fuel. In advanced BFB and CFB boilers, an open bottom design is used for ash and coarse material removal through the fluidizing air distribution system. This allows combustion of fuels containing large inert particles, such as rocks and metal pieces. If limestone is added to the bed, SO2 emissions are reduced. By using ammonia or urea in high temperature areas, NOx emissions are reduced. In order to achieve very low emissions, back-end flue gas treatment for SO2, NOx, HCl, HF, and Hg is required. To treat flue gases, several technologies can be used — such as activated carbon and sodium bicarbonate or Trona injection, Turbosorp® circulating dry scrubber, and SCR. Normally the preferred particulate matter cleaning device is a baghouse since the filter cake allows further reactions between pollutants and sorbents. Different fluidized bed designs are shown and recommended for various biomass fuels. This paper describes design, fuels, and emissions for an advanced BFB boiler producing steam at a rate of 230,000 lb/hr/930 psig/860°F (29.0 kg/s/64 barg/460°C).
