Red Raspberries rank near the top of all fruits for antioxidant strength, particularly due to their rich content of ellagic acid (from ellagotannins), quercetin, gallic acid, anthocyanins, cyanidins, pelargonidins, catechins, kaempferol and salicylic acid.
Anthocyanins found in raspberries, which act as pigments to give berries their deep color, are a major component of the phenolic/flavonoid class. Recent research shows that anthocyanins act as antioxidants, providing many potential health benefits. Researchers are currently linking anthocyanin activity to possibly improving vision, controlling diabetes, improving circulation, fighting cancer, and retarding the effects of aging, particularly loss of memory and motor skills. Raspberries' anthocyanins also give these delectable berries unique antimicrobial properties, including the ability to prevent overgrowth of certain bacteria and fungi in the body. Quercetin and catechins are flavonols found in raspberries that act as antioxidants that support the body's immune system and may contribute to cancer prevention. Quercetin has also been shown to reduce the release of histamine and may be effective against allergies.
One of the most promising benefits of red raspberries is that they are significant source of ellagic acid. This substance belongs to the family of phytonutrients called tannins, and is viewed as being responsible for a good portion of the antioxidant activity of this (and other) berries. Ellagic acid has become a known as a possible potent anti-carcinogenic/anti-mutagenic compound. Clinical tests conducted at the Hollings Cancer Institute at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) show that ellagic acid, a naturally occurring plant phenol may be the most potent way to possibly combat cancer, inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and arrest the growth of cancer in subjects with a genetic predisposition for the disease. Ellagic acid may possibly act as a scavenger to "bind" cancer-causing chemicals, making them inactive. It also may inhibit the ability of other chemicals to cause mutations in bacteria. In addition, ellagic acid from red raspberries may prevent binding of carcinogens to DNA, and may reduce the incidence of cancer in cultured human cells exposed to carcinogens.
Raspberries are an excellent source of fiber, manganese and vitamin C. They are a very good source of vitamin K and a good source of magnesium, folate, omega-3 fatty acids, copper, vitamin E and potassium. But eating whole berries or berry powder has been shown in scientific studies to be more beneficial than taking the individual phytochemicals in the form of dietary supplements
Some possible traditional uses of Raw Freeze Dried Red Raspberry Powder may include:
● Highest food source of ellagic acid
● Almost 50% higher antioxidant activity than strawberries because of high levels of tannins
● May help prevent the development of early atherosclerosis
● Ability to prevent overgrowth of certain bacteria & fungi in the body
● High in polyphenolic compounds known for their anti-cancer properties
● Contain strong antioxidants such as Vitamin C, quercetin & gallic acid
● Red raspberry ketones are currently being used in Japan as a weight loss supplement in a pill form and as an external patch
● Good source of anthocyanins including quercetin, kaempferol cyanidin-3-glucosylrutinoside & cyanidin-3-rutinoside
● Raspberries have been shown to inhibit the production of COX-I and COX-II enzymes. Anti inflammatory products like ibuprofen & aspirin, inhibit COX-I and COX-II resulting in the reduction of pain associated with arthritis, gout & other inflammatory conditions
Fragrantly sweet with a subtly tart overtone our freeze dried raspberry powder is wonderfully delicious and nutritious.
Mix 1 tablespoon with recipes, juice, yogurt or chocolate.

The Versa Note was released for the first time recently, and in some ways is a combination of the 2013 Nissan Versa under the hood and the Nissan Leaf on the outside. Some of the key highlights of the Versa Note include the lowered price, best in class fuel economy, great use of space and some great available features.
Honda has completely redesigned the 2013 Honda Accord, and with its incredible tech and outstanding standard features, we think Honda has changed the Accord for the better.
We’ll get to the appearance changes and great special features, but first let’s talk under the hood.
The 2013 Honda Accord has a new 4 cylinder CVT transmission. CVT is becoming more and more popular because it gives an engine better fuel economy by enabling the engine to run at its most efficient RPM for a range of vehicle speeds.


Li'l sci fi, l'il politics • 9 January 2008 • The SnowBlog
Li'l sci fi, l'il politics
I should probably put my usual political-rant caveat on this post. If you're not a left-wing leftie lefterson, parts of this might rub you up the wrong way.
So anyway, I was recently kicking around the notion that sci-fi is getting more difficult to write because fact is stranger than fiction a lot of the time. Annalee at the newly-launched io9 has a different perspective and has said that sci-fi is so pervasive that it is de facto a mainstream genre. I suppose so many traditional sci-fi staples are now a reality (gadgets galore and a looming dystopian future) that not being interested in sci-fi is like not being interested in life. I was going to say 'like not being interested in current affairs', but that's actually pretty common - and sort of what I wanted to talk about. I think sci-fi has got more difficult because everyday reality has actually become less believable. To refresh your memories, I'm referring back to the narrowing credibility gap that's squeezing sci-fi. Reality is now strange to the point of corniness. If you try to outdo it, you sound preposterous; if you don't, you sound quaint and dull. I cited William Gibson's example from the Nineties of Michael Jackson marrying Elvis Presley's daughter, but there are heaps of other examples. You could talk about movie stars becoming president, for instance. Probably too silly and over the top for a book written in the Seventies, but not too silly and over the top for reality. I'm sure you could come up with our own examples too. In fact here's a little mental exercise for you: try to think of a concept for a reality TV show that's too outlandish to ever get made. You can't. You might come up with one that is illegal or too offensive to be broadcast - but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be successful. Find spouses, swap spouses, tempt couples into infidelity, have ugly people compete to win cosmetic surgery, revive your flagging celebrity status by demeaning yourself, punish fat people, binge drink to shame your kids - no matter what you come up with, you can't convince yourself it's 'going too far'. You can't be sure some production company isn't already discussing it.
So that's part of the problem: when the non-sci-fi parts of the media are allowed to apply their unfettered and so-immoral-it's-amoral imaginations to devising entertainment it puts the squeeze on sci-fi futurists. But it has occurred to me that there's something else going on too. I think our sense of verisimilitude is also being undermined. (Do excuse me for putting a link on that word, but outside of the Lemony Snicket movie, a person could go years without hearing the term and thus being prompted to look it up.)
And if I'm right, the culprit is the combination of politics and PR which every year controls more of what we see and hear. Propaganda wasn't invented in the Twentieth Century, but that's when the science of it began. Official statements, branding, PR campaigns, professional spokesmen and the idea of 'image' all become more universal over the course of the last century. Polling for movies, product launches and political campaigns has become vital - and it's not because it's 'nice to know' how you're doing; it's so that you can change what you're doing. Messages are crafted and tested - and re-crafted. "What do I stand for? What do you want me to stand for?" We now consider the idea of unscripted remarks from someone in power rather shocking and unprofessional. We might expect politicians to lie, but we also punish them if they give us the unvarnished truth. We expect not just the content but the delivery of everything we hear to be expertly timed, phrased and choreographed. And it has spread to business and celebrity. We expect all figures of prominence to be 'mediated', their public perception monitored, analysed and refined. In consequence of which, we know most of what we see and hear from anyone famous is scripted and on some level fake.
For me, and I suspect many others, the proof that this scripting and crafting had spread to the news media was brought home during the lead-up to the Iraq invasion. Most of us weren't happy about what was about to happen but we didn't see our views represented on the evening news (especially in the U.S.). It was as though we looked in the mirror of mainstream journalism and couldn't see our own reflection. The 'popular opinion' we saw on TV didn't include us or the people we knew.
And even though everyone, even the sceptics among us, now know the whole thing was a sham and a disaster, the fiction continues. In reality, the war is illegal and we were lied to about the reasons for it. But on TV, it was 'controversial' and politicians were 'forced to make some very hard decisions which at the time they believed were right'. The fictional element to the reality we see on TV is now so strong that it continues almost untouched by the calamitous events taking place in the actual real world. On TV, global climate change is still up for debate, American foreign policy is about spreading democracy in a troubled world, corporate hyper-profits are good 'for the economy' and the news brings its audience the truth (rather than belatedly admitting it to them).
How can sci-fi writers craft a near-future world that seems believable when our own present isn't remotely credible? It can't. It can only do satire - and even then it has to pick its targets. Not only is reality TV unspoofable, but so is American politics (if you can imagine it and it's logistically possible, it has happened). Supporters of a draft-dodging president can paint a decorated war hero as a coward by buying ad time on TV to lie about him. It can happen in the glare of prime-time and it can work. I've lost track of the number of times I've seen Cheney or Bush lie - and all that would be required to expose them in their lies would be to pull the relevant tape of their earlier remarks from the tape library and play it: something that every news network in the U.S. is capable of, but none ever does (except Comedy Central - which isn't a news organisation). The fiction shouldn't hold up - but it does.
When the flimsiest of fake realities can withstand a storm-force pounding from reality and not even bend in the wind, what store can we set by our sense of verisimilitude? For sci-fi I think pickings are slim, unless you choose as your backdrop the far future, the altered past or galaxies far, far away. And there's no sense in having sci-fi help us make sense of the future when we haven't made sense of the present yet. Orwell wouldn't be able to satirise current presidential spin and Kafka couldn't outdo Guantanamo. If near-future sci-fi is struggling I think it's probably reality that's to blame.

Arsenal and Chelsea crashed to big losses this weekend while Manchester United, Manchester City and plucky Bolton continued to ride the top of the table in England.
And these results raise the question: is the Premiership a more even league – or are these big teams just exhausted? Take your pick, but no matter what you decide, the fact is, a third of the way through this season, England’s top-flight is anything but predictable.
No one would have been shocked pre-game by the notion that Tottenham Hotspur could beat Arsenal – but to say that Spurs would recover from 2-0 down to sink the Gunners 3-2? That’s a stretch. Yet, that’s what happened.
After watching Arsenal go up 2-0, thanks to Samir Nasri and Marouane Chamakh, Spurs roared back in the second half, thanks to some big Arsenal mistakes. Rafael van der Vaart tied things up after Cesc Fabregas inexplicably handled the ball in the box – in the wall, on a free-kick. (Shockingly, this wasn’t the first time the Arsenal captain has committed such an offense.) Then, Laurent Koscielny rashly fouled Gareth Bale, setting up a Van der Vaart free-kick that Younes Kaboul headed home.
It might be uncharitable to Spurs to suggest that Arsenal collapsed – after all, Tottenham fought back brilliantly – but Arsenal folded like a cheap tent in a breeze. Once-sainted manager Arsene Wenger is finding his halo tarnished, admitting post-game that he didn’t know what had happened.
Would anyone have laid money on relegation-threatened Birmingham to beat league-leading Chelsea? They hadn’t done it in 30 years, so why would they this week? And here we are, in the aftermath of a 1-0 Brummie win, led by a stunning performance by goalkeeper Ben Foster, channeling Lev Yashin.
Chelsea uncorked 24 shots on Foster’s net, and he stopped them all. Birmingham had one shot on goal and scored. Then, they hung on grimly for a good thirty minutes as the Blues tried – and failed – to get past.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti remained defiant, but the fact is, this is Chelsea’s third loss in four league games, and the putative champs are absolutely reeling.
And what’s this about wee Bolton? They’re in fifth, after cremating Newcastle 5-1. Newcastle’s lone goal came when Stuart Holden misplayed a throw-in to give Andy Carroll a clean look at goal. Johan Elmander and Kevin Davies led Wanderers’ run all over a stunned Toon.
Manchester City walloped Clint Dempsey’s Fulham 4-1 Sunday behind Carlos Tevez and Pablo Zabaleta, possibly making ex-City boss – and current Fulham gaffer Mark Hughes – wish he’d kept his mouth shut over his replacement’s perceived failings. The rout felt like personal payback from Roberto Mancini. Across town, Manchester United didn’t look real great Saturday, but they are in second and got Wayne Rooney back. Against a Wigan side reduced to nine-men, the Red Devils won out with ease, 2-0 with Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez nailing a diving header for emphasis. United now trail Chelsea only by goal difference.
Liverpool crushed West Ham 3-0 in a game that will do nothing to ease the pressure on manager Roy Hodgson, but seriously calls into question the ability of Avram Grant. Liverpool are not good. West Ham, however, were truly dreadful, playing arguably the worst single half of football seen this season in the Premiership. Liverpool, either due to inability or lack of desire, did not put this side to the sword as others might have, and that let off camouflages the fact that Grant is getting nothing out of his dim charges at Upton Park.
Yanks in the UK didn’t have a great weekend in general: Marcus Hahnemann was to blame in Wolves’ loss to Blackpool; he gifted Marlon Harewood the winner when he came and failed to collect a corner. Aston Villa’s Brad Friedel looked shaky in a similar situation, flapping not but once but twice at crosses. One went directly in, the other led to
a corner that ultimately found the back of his net. Morten Gamst Pedersen scored both, fueling the 2-0 Blackburn win.
In Spain, the battle of the superstars continued as Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo dropped serious science on their hapless opponents, collecting matching hat-tricks.
Barcelona rode Messi’s three to a record 8-0 thrashing of Almeria while Real Madrid pounded Atletico Bilbao 5-1 to remain on top of La Liga. Messi became just the fourth Barcelona player to tally 100 league goals, but Ronaldo leads this year’s Golden Boot race with 14 to date. The teams meet next Monday in this season’s biggest European derby to date.
Elsewhere, Jersey-born Giuseppi Rossi continued his torrid streak, getting the tying goal in Villarreal’s 1-1 draw with Valencia. Jozy Altidore, again, did not play.
In Germany, Borussia Dortmund gained some breathing room atop the table thanks to a 2-1 win over SC Freiburg. Bayer Leverkusen could not keep pace, getting held 1-1 by struggling Bayern Munich on a weekend where Franz Beckenbauer flatly said the giants could not win the Bundesliga title.
Michael Bradley got two assists in Borussia Moenchengladbach’s losing 3-2 effort against Mainz. But Jermaine Jones did not play in Schalke’s shock 4-0 whipping of Werder Bremen. (It might not have helped that Jones told the press pre-game he was looking to leave the club, saying he didn’t feel ‘welcome.’) The result piled more pressure on Bremen manager Thomas Schaff, but despite crisis meetings, it appears he will have at least one more week to right the ship. Steve Cherundolo was suspended for Hannover’s 3-2 win over Hamburg; DaMarcus Beasley continues to sit. Ditto for Ricardo Clark as his Frankfurt side were blitzed by Hoffenheim, 4-0.
In France, Carlos Bocanegra returned for St. Etienne in their 1-1 draw with Auxerre. Charlie Davies played for Sochaux’s reserves (they lost 2-1) as his rehab continues; the first team beat Lorient 2-0. Montpellier went top of Ligue One for the evening with a 1-0 win over slumping Nice, only to lose the slot with Lille’s 2-1 win Sunday over Monaco. PSG beat Caen 2-1 to stay in striking distance, as did Rennes with their 2-1 win over Brest.
In Italy, it’s a bad week to be an Inter fan, and a worse one to be a man named Rafa Benitez. Inter were humbled by Chievo 2-1 to send the champs down to 7th. Samuel Eto’o tried to spark a late fightback, but even his superb individual effort with a minute remaining could not reverse the damage. Benitez’ team has now just one win in seven league games – and more ominously, the coach has the ‘full backing’ of the club, soccer-speak for ‘he’s toast.’
AC Milan and Lazio stayed one-two with Zlatan Ibrahimovic taking Milan past Fiorentina 1-0, and Lazio being held 1-1 by Parma. Roma continued to improve with a 2-0 win over Udinese while Juventus thumped Genoa 2-0.
In Scotland, Maurice Edu is out indefinitely for Rangers, but his side opened the gap atop the SPL with a 3-2 win over 10-man Kilmarnock. Celtic were held by Dundee United 1-1.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, has announced large-scale investment in superfast broadband across ten UK cities.
The announcement, made during the Chancellor’s recent autumn budget statement, confirmed the investment would total £100 million.
It is understood that the new investment will lead to broadband speeds within the selected cities of up to 100 Mbps.
Although six of the chosen cities have yet to be announced, four that have definitely been selected to benefit from the investment are: London, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast.
Commenting on his decision, Mr Osborne said:
‘It means creating new super-fast digital networks for companies across our country. These do not exist today’.
He warned that unless the investment was made, ‘we risk falling behind the rest of the world’. He cited China and Brazil as examples of countries which had already embraced superfast broadband.
Welcoming the proposed investment, the main UK telecommunications infrastructure company, BT, said:
‘BT is already upgrading large parts of these cities under its commercial rollout plan and these funds could help us go further’.
The statement by the chancellor follows hard on the heels of a recent announcement by the government in Scotland that it would be investing £5 million in high speed broadband capability within the Dumfries and Galloway and Borders regions.
Within the selected cities themselves the statement is expected to be greatly welcomed by both business and local authority leaders, who have long campaigned for their areas to benefit from the added value services that superfast broadband can bring.
These services include internet protocol (IP) telephony, and, in particular, business VoIP (voice over internet protocol); which can lead to greater efficiencies in the management of internal business phone systems; lower call costs; and the capacity to take and receive calls using the same extension and phone number, regardless of location.

The Bai people, a minority group in the People’s Republic of China numbering at least 1.8 million, are heavily concentrated in Yunnan Province’s Dali Autonomous Prefecture. Music has historically been a significant part of Bai culture, as Bai musicians across the region enjoy performing Baizu diao, or popular Bai folk tunes, in the form of singing or on various instruments. These diao, or melodies, often describe the lifestyle of Bai people and the region in which they live in and are commonly performed on a threestringed member of the lute family called a sanxian. This study uncovers both the history and culture of Bai people and their musical traditions, but also represents the attempt of westerner to learn sanxian and better understand Baizu musical form. Qualitative research identifies the cultural importance of Baizu diao to the Bai culture as a whole. In turn, quantitative research transposes the melodies of Bai music into a familiar western notation system, which allows for further analysis of the musical form.

Florida State got off to a great start with national signing day less than 24 hours away when several outlets reported that five-star cornerback Jalen Ramsey said he will flip from Southern Cal to FSU.
Ramsey, from Nashville, Tenn., is the No. 10 overall rated prospect and third best cornerback on Rivals.com board. Scout.com has Ramsey as the No. 2 cornerback.
Ramsey’s decision is extra sweet for FSU because it was reported he was down to FSU and Florida after backing off his USC commitment.
FSU became a big player for Ramsey when Jeremy Pruitt was hired as the new defensive coordinator. Pruitt developed a relationship with Ramsey and his family while he was working for Alabama.
Ramsey is the first five-star commitment for FSU.

Although the general population of adults takes prescription medications responsibly, in 2017, approximately 18M Americans (more than six out of every one hundred of these people are aged twelve and older) have mis appropriately used such medications a minimum of once in the past year.
According to results from the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, approximately two million Americans mis appropriately-used prescription pain relievers for at their initial introduction at regular intervals the past year, which averages to approximately 5,480 initiates per day.
Additionally, more than one million misused prescription stimulants, 1.5 million misused tranquilizers, and 271,000 misused sedatives for the first time. Teens generally acquire these prescriptions from family or friends. The number of fatal prescription drug poisonings has more than tripled since 2009.
A life with prescription painkiller addiction is full of uncertainty, shame, and conflict, and the cost can be immense. The addict is constantly embarrassed about their addiction, they feel shame, and they regret their past decisions and actions. Many feel forced to lie and faux symptoms to friends, family, and doctors in order to get their hands on more medication. They feel they have disappointed loved ones. Some even embrace criminal activity like stealing or fabricating prescriptions or shopping for pills on the black market.
The uncertainty of whether they will get caught or not is taxing to the person’s psyche and many opiate addicts live in a state of anxiety about not having enough drugs or getting caught in their lies.

CLEVELAND -- Mariners left fielder Milton Bradley will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Tuesday in Cincinnati.
There is no timetable for Bradley's return to the Seattle lineup, though that could change following the results of the operation scheduled to be performed by Reds team physician Dr. Timothy Kremchek.
Bradley, currently on the 15-day disabled list with right knee tendinitis, has not played since July 26.
"We want to find out what's going on," Mariners interim manager Daren Brown said. "He's obviously had some pain and discomfort. Hopefully, they can clean it up a little bit and we'll go from there. We'll wait and see. We'll let the doctors do their thing and they'll give us an idea."
"I have nothing to say," he said.
Acquired from the Cubs in December, the 32-year-old Bradley is batting .205 with eight home runs and 29 RBIs in 73 games this season.
"It's always tough when you're not on the field," Brown said. "I don't think anybody looks forward to surgery, so I would say it's disappointing. But there's also a little bit of relief, because we'll hopefully find out what's causing the discomfort."

Houston’s Flywheel Festival unfolds Friday and Saturday with lots of food, fun and quality entertainment.
The 32nd annual Mississippi Valley Flywheel Spring Festival will be held April 26-27 in Joe Brigance Park and kicks off with a boom at the anvil shoot at 11 a.m.
“We started doing the anvil shoot not long after the Flywheel Festival started,” said Charles Van Horn, of Vardaman. “We do it the first day of the festival and again at 11 a.m. on Saturday and we close out the festival with our last one at 1 p.m.”
Van Horn said the practice started in pioneer days using blackpowder and two anvils.
“In Europe they still do it to mark Christmas Day,” said Van Horn. “We just do it because it is fun and we want to see how high it goes.”
The anvil shoot will not only mark the start, but also two other high profile events at this year’s festival. The 11 a.m. shoot on Saturday will be followed by Ace Cannon on the main stage. Cannon, a Calhoun County native, is a saxophone legend and has traveled the world blowing his special style of music.
The 1 p.m. shoot will mark the start of the Tractor Pull at the back of Joe Brigance Park.
“We always work real hard to make this a fun, family-oriented event,” said Harry Collins, spokesman for the Mississippi Valley Flywheel Association. “We’ve got a petting zoo, more bounce houses and lots of fun stuff for mom and dad, too.”
The Houston Touchdown Club will sponsor a catfish supper from 4 to 7 p.m. at the CDF building. Entertainment will be provided from the parking lot out front starting at 5 p.m.
Saturday will see the Pink Ribbon 5K fun-run to raise money to fight breast cancer sponsored by the New Century Club, the pancake breakfast sponsored by the Houston Band Boosters and of course a full slate of vendors selling everything from jewelry and t-shirts to good things to eat.
The Parade of Power will wind through downtown Houston at 9:30 a.m. Local bands and entertainers will take to the stage from 9 a.m., to 2 p.m.
The tractor pull is the main event of the fall festival and it starts around noon.
And, as always, there will be demonstrations of steam and diesel engines, hominy cooking, a working grist mill, lard rendering, lye soap processing and a host of other pioneer projects in the park.
The Chickasaw County Historical and Genealogical Society will also have the Ag Museum open and artifacts on display.
“We had record crowds last year and if the weather holds out we expect another good festival,” said East. “The Flywheel Festival brings a lot of people to town and it is a big shopping day for our community.”
And there will be plenty of food for the hungry and arts and crafts for shoppers at Joe Brigance Park.
“We have worked real hard to increase the number of vendors at this year’s festival,” said East. “We expect to have over 40 booths.”
Also new this year will be the Miss Flywheel Festival pageant held at Houston High School in conjunction with the festival. The young lady selected will represent Houston at business grand-openings, industrial groundbreakings and other community events.
“The Flywheel Festival is always a chance to showcase our community and we hope people will mark their calendar and plan to come out,” said East. “Rain or shine we always have a lot of fun and bring a lot of people to Houston for the weekend.
Vendors wanting to obtain a booth at this year’s festival should contact East at 456-2321.


The way the Church has embarked on this spiritual journey, this pilgrimage of the heart, is through the daily Mass readings and the Divine Office. Reading the Daily Mass readings with your Roman Missal or the Divine Office with your own Liturgy of the Hours set are both great ways to celebrate the Advent season. But if you want more of a personal devotional to use, then Advent prayer books is what you’d want to choose. Here are three of the most popular choices for using a book for meditations and prayers this Advent season.
This is not just another book about Pope Francis – this book features the Holy Father’s own spontaneous words spoken as he exercises his everyday role as chief shepherd of all Christians. It is a compilation of the homily text recorded and transcribed by Radio Vaticana, complete with summaries and commentary – and meant to be read like a daily devotional. Below you can read an interview with the editor below as well as an excerpt homily from the book.
The Sacrament of Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Church (together with Baptism and Holy Communion). This special anointing done by the bishop or priest has the effect of increasing and deepening the grace of God given to us at our baptismal; while baptism removes from our souls from the stain of original sin, confirmation pours into our souls the power of the Holy Spirit – just like the Apostles received at Pentecost.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1303) below are the five real spiritual effects that happen to Christians through the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Did you know that if you follow along with the Mass readings every day of the week, you’ll have read through almost the entire Catholic bible every three years? One of the best ways to follow along with the Mass readings is to use a Daily Roman Missal. Following along with the daily Mass readings (even when you don’t go to daily Mass) is an excellent way for Catholics to commit to a Bible reading plan and grow in the knowledge of Sacred Scripture. Who couldn’t use more of this in their life?
We’d have to have our heads in the sand to not notice that things are getting bad out there. If you’re a Christian reading the top trending stories from all over the world, it should make you want to fall down on your knees and pray.
When Christians and Christianity itself is being marginalized, persecuted, and attacked, it is a strong indication that the world needs Christ more than ever. Persecution has always been the Church’s call to arms–spiritual arms.
Cardinal Wuerl answers questions about his new book authored with Mike Aquilina entitled, The Feasts: How the Church Year Forms Us as Catholics.
In The Feasts, Cardinal Wuerl and Aquilina explore the festivities in the calendar of Catholic holidays. From Christmas to Easter, the Feast of the Guardian Angels to the Pentecost, the authors reintroduce readers to the true beauty and meaning of each centuries-old celebration.
Popular Catholic author Patrick Madrid has a new book coming out this summer, and you don’t want to miss it! Madrid is a cradle Catholic and a leading popular apologist for the Catholic faith through his work with Catholic Answers, Envoy Magazine, EWTN, and Immaculate Heart Radio. He is known for being witty, engaging, knowledgeable, and charitable as he explains and defends the truth of the Catholic faith. Below is a Q&A shared by the publisher of his new book, Why Be Catholic, Ten Answers to a Very Important Question.

BOI sets review of MVDP
PHILIPPINES: The Board of Investments (BOI) has set the review of Executive Orders 156 and 887A or the Motor Vehicle Development Program (MVDP) that may include an audit of its participants and the possibility of extending incentives to entice more investments.
Supervising BOI Director for development service Ma. Corazon Halili-Dichosa said the review of these orders is mandated under the CARS (Comprehensive Automotive Resurgence Strategy) Program.
Dichosa has made known of the BOI’s moves during the initial meeting of the newly formed Motorcycle Technical Working Group, which created four sub-clusters working groups. One subcluster was tasked have to provide inputs for the MVDP review.
The Motorcycle Development Program is one of the pillars of the MVDP that also includes the Cars Development Program and the Commercial Vehicle Development Program.
Dichosa also informed the motorcycle players that part of the review is an upcoming audit of companies commencing in the second semester of this year.
There are no specifics yet as what will be covered in the audit of companies, but Dichosa made assurances that players will be consulted on the audit forms and mechanisms to be used.
The MVDP review has been mandated under EO 182 or the CARS Program, which created the Inter-Agency Committee on Automotive Industry Development to administer and implement the CARS Program chaired by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) with members from the Departments of Finance, Transportation and Communication, Science and Technology, National Economic and Development Authority, and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority. The co-chairman is the Industry Development Council and the National Competitiveness Council.
The EO provides that the constituted Inter-Agency Committee will review the existing MVDP and other relevant incentives schemes. The review, which should be completed within six months from the issuance of the EO, may explore the possibility of providing for new entrants intending to eventually participate in the CARS program a set of incentives during a limited transition period.
Most of the local car companies are participants in the MVDP, which was amended under EO 877A and was among the last orders signed by then President Gloria Arroyo before she stepped down from office in June 2010.
There are no income tax holiday privileges for MVDP participants, although they are entitled to the availment of tariff rates for KD parts and components for assembly under the MVDP tariff lines of the Tariff and Customs Code.
Investments for motor vehicle assembly and/or manufacture of parts and components manufacture are listed in the annual Investments Priorities Plan, making such investments eligible to tax perks.
EO 877A, however, was not implemented during DTI Secretary Gregory L. Domingo’s term as he instead concentrated on hammering out an entirely new program that will fully revive the car industry. Thus, after over three years in the making, the CARS Program was born.
The CARS Program’s implementing rules and regulations was only approved in December 2015, just in time for Domingo’s departure as DTI chief. The program grants $600 million to three car brands that can produce 200,000 units each of new vehicles over a six-year period.

Dyna wrist wrap is indicated for Wrist injuries which are typically caused by one of two reasons. The primary cause is due to repetitive use of the wrist. This causes strain on the tendons and nerves that support the area, which leads to wrist pain. The other common reason is due to impact, usually during physical activities. Our natural reaction when falling is to put our hand out and land on our wrist, which can cause wrist fractures or other injuries

Immigration and the Small Property Rental Market
Immigration plays an important role in shoring up household formation rates and housing demand in the United States. Here’s a first look at the significance of immigration on the small property rental market.
What is the Share of Immigrant Households in Small Buildings?
Immigrant households, which for the purpose of this post are identified as those with foreign-born heads of household, have played a crucial role in driving housing demand in the United States.
Significantly, immigration has a greater impact on the multifamily rental market — including small and large properties — than the overall housing inventory, which includes owned homes.
Consider that nearly a quarter of all households in 2014 across both small rental properties (5 to 49 units) and large rental properties (50+ units) were immigrants, compared to only about 15 percent for the overall housing inventory.
Growth Trajectory – Immigrant Renters
However, a closer examination of the multifamily rental universe also reveals that immigrant households within small asset buildings grew faster compared to those living in large asset buildings.
As shown above, immigrant households in small properties with heads between 35 and 64 years experienced growth of nearly 4 percent annually between 2010 and 2014, compared with 2 percent for large buildings.
Immigrant household growth in small properties remained strong even with older heads, whereas it tapered off to just over 1 percent in large buildings.
Fewer hiring opportunities for younger immigrants and immigrant demographics may explain in part the negative growth rate in small properties for the 18 to 34 year old cohort.

At first glance, Super Monkey Ball Jr. brought horrible flashbacks of Marble Madness and the 3-D wooden board game Labyrinth—both of which I hated and sucked at. The resemblance was just too uncanny: navigate a little monkey in a plastic ball around a course to the finish gate by angling the terrain to make him roll a certain way. After playing a few rounds of it and continuously losing control of the monkey and watching him plummet off the edge with a heart-wrenching little shriek, I was ready to give up. But I persevered, and won a few rounds. Then a few more. And I began to get the hang of Super Monkey Ball and appreciate it for its challenge and subtlety—something that gamers increasingly used to being spoonfed easy levels and infinite continues may have a hard time with at first.
Super Monkey Ball Jr. follows the same format as its big brother for the Game Cube: you play through the stages and receive “play points” for every stage cleared, which can then be used to buy mini-games. Of course the handheld Super Monkey Ball is a significantly watered down version; there are only a limited number of mini-games to unlock, and many of the levels have been ported directly from the Game Cube version.
Still, for a handheld title Super Monkey Ball Jr. jams in a whole lot of gameplay onto that little cartridge. Besides the mini-games, there are 60+ stages in the main game spread over several different levels of difficulty: Beginner (10 levels), Advanced (20 levels) and Expert (30 levels) plus an unlockable master mode with even more stages. Although several levels have been ripped directly from the Game Cube version, a significant enough number are original so that it would be unfair to call SMB Jr. a simple port.
The first few levels of Super Monkey Ball Jr. are ridiculously easy, but it’s the kind of game where the difficulty level creeps up on you very slowly, until all of a sudden you’re staring at a huge course fraught with hills and valleys, impossibly narrow bridges, moving platforms and fiendishly positioned bumpers. Challenge in the latter levels is extremely high and requires intense concentration and skill, yet never does the difficulty seem cheap or as a result of flawed game design. Caution is a must, and controlling the monkey requires great precision on the part of the gamer. Yet meekness is penalized as well with a time limit on each level, forcing the gamer to plow ahead and be aggressive when required.
The techno soundtrack is perfect for this game; it is driving enough to be exciting yet not harsh or edgy enough to distract the gamer from the task of concentrating on the monkey. Voice clips urge the gamer on, by announcing each level with a “Ready? Go!” and a sly “Hurry Up!” if time is running dangerously low. (All voice samples are texted as well.)
The graphics have a slightly psychedelic feel to them; most of the terrain is either green or blue in an understated checkerboard pattern, and the surrounding scenery is quite eye-catching. All of the levels take place high in the air, and you can look down on blue skies and green grasses with details like clouds, trees and rocks. Other levels take place above orange lava with a beautiful purplish-pink sky and a volcano in the distance. The graphics could have been a lot more boring than they are and the game still would have been decent, however the fact that the developers went the extra distance is definitely a nice touch.
Besides simply making it to the gate before time expires, there is a secondary goal to each level of collecting bananas, which get the player an extra life when enough are accumulated. Not only are there 60+ levels in the game, but there is a choice of four different monkeys to take on each course, who are all different sizes and thus control differently (Aiai, Meemee, Baby and Gongon.)
There are only a handful of mini-games on the cartridge, and all of them are unplayable until you unlock them with play-points. Monkey Bowling and Monkey Golf are pretty good single-player games that provide a nice break from the stresses of the rolling platforms. A few of the mini-games are even multi-player. The replay value, then, is enormous, and a battery save feature makes the game perfect for venturing out of the house with.
Once you start playing a game like this it’s hard to put down. There’s always something to keep you coming back, whether it’s to get more play-points and see how many secret levels and mini-games to unlock, or to challenge a friend to one of the several multi-player mini-games. In terms of sheer length and replayability, Super Monkey Ball Jr. has to be one of the better non-RPG deals to come out on the Game Boy Advance so far. Just be warned that if you’re an impatient person seeking action and instant gratification, this is likely not a game for you.

Fed up with fees, man opens his own community bank
Deposits are not insured by FDIC
2:27 PM, Sep 26, 2012
3:09 PM, Sep 26, 2012
Angry at his bank for taking too big a scoop in overdraft fees, one Pittsburgh ice cream shop owner decided to set up his own flavor of a community bank, with interest on deposits paid out in sweets.
Ethan Clay, a 31 year-old Steel City native, began running the Whalebone Café Bank out of the Oh Yeah! Ice Cream and Coffee Company in January and says so far he's taken in around $660 in deposits, mostly from regular customers. He also performs cash back transactions and for a $4 fee, check-cashing services.
"I want to skinny up these big banks," Clay said. "This is people putting their money together to transform the retail banking industry."
But deposits at Whalebone are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which is why he's caught the attention of the state banking regulator.
"He does not have a license or charter to advertise as a bank or to take deposits," Ed Novak, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, said in an email statement. "You need a bank charter to take deposits under Pennsylvania law."
Novak would not comment on any potential enforcement action by his agency.
For his part, Clay claims he isn't subject to Pennsylvania Department of Banking rules because he's using gift card accounts to hold customers money. He says he has been in contact with an investigator from the agency, but isn't aware of any enforcement proceedings against him.
To start depositing money, customers must open a gift card savings account. The gift card account accrues interest -- at an attractive average rate of 5.5% -- which can then be used for in-store purchases, including ice cream, waffles, and coffee, Clay said.
Whalebone also offers small loans, and currently has three loans outstanding, according to Clay.
"These are short term, micro loans to give people so they can save some money in their accounts," Clay said.
Since he's not FDIC insured, Clay acknowledges his customers need to have faith in him.
"You do have to trust my process, there is an element of that," he said.
But from a pure economics standpoint, Clay's business model faces its fair share of challenges, according to Dr. Chester Spatt, a professor at Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business who served as the Chief Economist at the Securities and Exchange Commission from 2004 to 2007.
"On a small scale, there is a good rationale for this, to get attention and for the promotional aspects," Spatt said. But he could run into "issues involving creditworthiness or limitations on creditworthiness," due to the high interest rate he's promising.
"Realistically, could somebody pay out 5.5% a month, even in commodities? Of course not," Spatt said. But if Clay can "get attention to sell more ice cream, then yeah, that could work," Spatt said.
Nonetheless, Clay is committed to his vision and ultimately wants to open overdraft fee free checking accounts and help provide funding for community projects.
As Clay put it, "I want Whalebone to be a place where people with progressive ideas who want to change the financial world can get access to the funding they need."

Assistance dogs can suffer from all sorts of allergies, including food allergies, contact allergies, environmental allergies, and seasonal allergies. Seasonal allergies are a specific type of environmental allergy, which is a hypersensitive immune system response to contact or inhalation of an irritant in the environment, such as dust, dander, smoke, cleaning products, or mold. Seasonal allergies specifically are a reaction to pollen, grass, ragweed or other plant matter.
The different types of allergies all produce the same symptoms in dogs, so they can be tricky to diagnose. But seasonal allergies usually come with one important clue: they only cause problems seasonally—usually peaking for a few weeks to a month. Spring and fall are the worst times for most affected dogs, though summer can cause trouble too. It depends on the allergen, your climate, and other factors. Also, if you live in a warmer place with less distinct seasons and no hard freeze in the winter, seasonal allergies can be a year-round problem.
If your service, guide, or hearing dog exhibits allergic symptoms all year long, the problem probably isn’t a seasonal allergy; if you observe symptoms at one or more specific times of year though, a seasonal allergy is likely the culprit. Regardless, see your veterinarian about any symptoms to get to the bottom of things.
Symptoms of Canine Seasonal Allergies
Various signs and symptoms should prompt suspicion that your dog is suffering from an allergy, seasonal or otherwise. While humans with seasonal allergies typically have the worst problems in their respiratory tract, a dog’s symptoms tend to be worst on the skin. The most common include:
- Itchy skin (seen with excessive scratching, biting, chewing, licking, or rubbing against items)
- Red and/or inflamed skin, thinning hair or bald spots, sores, hot spots (which may be primary symptoms or result from excessive scratching, chewing, etc.)
- Itchy and/or inflamed ear canals
- Watery and/or puffy eyes
- Runny nose
Treating Seasonal Allergies in Your Assistance Dog
There’s no way to cure your guide, hearing, or service dog’s seasonal allergies, but they can usually be managed fairly effectively. It’s important to be proactive, both for your dog’s comfort and so she can stay focused on her tasks. Start with a visit to your vet and request allergy testing to determine which irritant(s) you need to worry about.
As with any allergy, avoiding the allergen as much as possible is the best way to prevent or reduce symptoms. This can be harder with an assistance dog than with a pet, obviously, as there’s a lot less flexibility in when and where you take your dog. If it’s possible to limit your dog’s time outside—especially in areas with lots of grass, flowers, and trees—this will certainly help.
Here are some effective ways to manage your assistance dog’s seasonal allergies:
- Vacuum your home every day or two during the season to remove allergens tracked inside
- Launder dog bedding regularly with just water or using a gentle, non-irritating detergent
- Rinse your dog’s paws off and remove your shoes before re-entering your home to prevent tracked-in allergens
- Keep your doors and windows closed so allergens don’t drift in
- Rinse or bathe your assistance dog frequently, using a natural, gentle, moisturizing canine shampoo to help with dry, itchy, allergic skin and to prevent further irritation
- Get the OK from your vet to give your dog an omega-3 fatty acid and/or quercetin supplement to reduce inflammation and other allergy symptoms
- Talk to your vet about giving your dog an antihistamine; this can be a tough call with assistance dogs though, as they are likely to cause some drowsiness
- Ask your vet about administering an immune system-modulating drug
- Ask your vet about allergy injection therapy to build up resistance
- Use HEPA filters in your home (they’re good for everyone!)
Don’t Skip the Vet’s Office!
It’s always important to consult your veterinarian about any symptoms you notice in your service, hearing, or guide dog. The symptoms listed above are hallmarks of an allergic condition, and these can be serious, and even fatal (food allergies are typically the most dangerous, but any type can be). The same symptoms may also point to a wide variety of other illnesses or problems, too. Early diagnosis and proactive treatment are essential to the best management of any condition!

The Trumpet of the Swan
by E. B. White (1970)
A Sweet Spot selection.
The Spanish edition of La trompeta del cisne is imported from a foreign publisher and incurs a surcharge.
E. B. White wrote three novels for children. You probably know Charlotte’s Web and Stuart Little. Now is the time to discover or re-visit the equally special and beloved The Trumpet of the Swan.
The book starts with the appealing Sam Beaver, a budding naturalist who witnesses a clutch of baby Trumpeter Swans born in the wilds of Canada. Through Sam’s patient, curious, observant eyes we learn to see and appreciate nature, quietly and privately.
Then we meet Cygnus Buccinator and his mate searching for the perfect spot to raise their family. When their son, Louis, is born without the ability to honk, his father will stop at nothing to ensure his son can communicate.
We spend the rest of our time with the resourceful Louis and his quest to learn to express himself, to earn the money to pay for his stolen trumpet, and eventually to woo the swan of his desiring. His adventures will take him all the way from the wilds of Montana, to a summer camp in the Great Lakes, to the Boston Public Garden (and a night in the Ritz Hotel!), and even to a jazz club in Philadelphia.
Schools and families will all benefit from spending time with E. B. White’s charming, sterling, matchless prose. And The Trumpet of the Swan always appeals to a broad range of readers as it includes comedy (ordering room service), drama (a hurricane), an appreciation of nature (Sam Beaver’s journal), and enterprise (Louis works no less than three jobs).
In addition to the rich set of family literacy resources Read to Them provides, we’ve also created a set of financial literacy materials so your school can use Louis’s enterprising adventures to study nature, math, and economics.
We invite you to return to bucolic yesteryear, and share The Trumpet of Swan with your school community of readers.

Internet Information Services (IIS) in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
Applies To: Windows Server 2003 with SP1
What does Internet Information Services do?
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 includes Internet Information Services (IIS), Version 6.0, which makes it possible for you to host your own Web site on the Internet or your intranet.
IIS is an optional component of Windows Server 2003, is not enabled by default, and must be installed separately.
Who does this feature apply to?
This feature applies to the following audiences:
IT professionals that use IIS to host and administer a Web site.
Web developers that use IIS to develop Web content.
What existing functionality is changing in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1?
Beginning with Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1), IIS 6.0 includes a metabase auditing feature that allows tracking of each change that is made to the metabase. Metabase auditing is enabled by enabling an audit access control entry (ACE) on a node in the metabase. After the ACE is enabled, whenever a metabase change takes place on that node, an audit event is published in the Security event log. Using metabase auditing, you can keep track of:
What was changed (metabase node, property, and old and new values).
When the change was made (date and time).
Who made the change (domain and user name).
Success or failure of the change attempt (HRESULT).
When a change is made remotely (client IP number).
To avoid disclosing sensitive information, such as passwords, values of secure properties do not appear in audit event log entries.
The Windows operating system includes the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) infrastructure to help individuals troubleshoot problems in the operating system, including problems in HTTP components. If an HTTP request in IIS fails or becomes unresponsive while ETW is enabled, you can view ETW trace data, called events, to determine which component caused the failure. IIS includes the following tracing features:
IIS Currently-executing Requests Tracing: This tracing feature provides general statistics and details about all requests executing on the server at the moment tracing was started.
IIS Request-Based Tracing: This tracing feature tracks HTTP requests as they move through IIS components.
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later also includes a provider for tracing the IIS Admin service during startup and shutdown.
You can run Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) in kernel mode, instead of the default user mode. Running in kernel mode means that components or processes run in the core address space of the operating system. Moving encryption and decryption operations to the kernel improves SSL performance by reducing the number of transitions between kernel mode and user mode. Enabling kernel-mode SSL requires setting a new registry key,
SSL host headers
IIS 6.0 now supports using SSL to secure Web sites that use host headers — a security feature that many users want to have. SSL host header support requires obtaining a wildcard server certificate and specifying the SSL port number on the SecureBindings metabase property.
Running 32-bit applications on 64-bit Windows
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 enables IIS 6.0 to run 32-bit Web applications on 64-bit Windows using the Windows-32-on-Windows-64 (WOW64) compatibility layer. IIS 6.0 using WOW64 is intended to run 32-bit personal productivity applications needed by software developers and administrators, including 32-bit IIS Web applications.
W3C centralized logging
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) centralized logging is a global configuration on the server where all Web sites write data to a single log file. Data is stored in the log file using the W3C Extended log file format. The log file can be viewed in a text editor, unlike IIS Centralized Binary Logging, which writes data in binary format and requires a parsing tool to view the data.
Secure configuration for Web servers
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 includes a Security Configuration Wizard (SCW), which is a role-based tool you can use to create a policy that enables the services, inbound ports, and settings required for a selected server to perform a specific role. If you select the Web Server role in the wizard, SCW configures IIS 6.0 to help further reduce the attack surface of your Web server.

The standard storyboard sheet for Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb had places for three drawings. What happened here was that Ed started drawing in the first area, didn't like the result, turned the sheet over and drew on the back! So, this is the back-side of the sheet. I have added light gray borders to the top and bottom areas to enhance the storyboard bounds, but the dark border for the middle area was hand-drawn by Ed.
The drawing are all sketches for the Sunspot Station.

Winter Springs High School players Sharde Alls (left), Erica… (JOE BURBANK, ORLANDO SENTINEL )
SANFORD -- Winter Springs junior softball player Amanda Brown tilted her head back Friday to reveal eyes that bubbled with tears.
They were tears of joy.
"We get to play!" Brown said, embracing senior left fielder Monica Torres.
Inside a cramped courtroom, 18th Circuit Court Judge Clayton Simmons upheld an injunction that allowed Winter Springs' softball team to play in the Class 6A state semifinals Friday night against Palm Beach Gardens.
The injunction originally had been granted earlier this week after the Florida High School Athletic Association forced Winter Springs to vacate its playoff spot for having an ineligible player in its dugout during a region-final victory at Neptune Beach Fletcher on May 5.
Simmons' decision came after he heard arguments for just over an hour.
Every seat in the two-row viewing gallery was filled with players (Brown and 14 of her teammates), parents and Winter Springs administrators as Simmons ruled the team's due process was violated. Simmons also said the FHSAA "didn't follow its own rules" governing the school's right for an appeal.
"All we wanted was to be able to win or lose on the field," Torres said. "We went from crying to smiling, to being nervous again and back to smiling. I don't want to do that again."
Stephanie Johnson, the mother of senior Mackenzie Johnson, wiped away tears.
"It's been a rough week, but I'm very thankful and very humbled the judge was able to see the irreparable damage that would have happened," Johnson said.
The Bears beat Fletcher 5-1. During that game, Winter Springs had a player, who had been suspended for two games for running into the opposing catcher during a region semifinal, in its dugout while wearing a team jersey. That violated three FHSAA statutes.
Winter Springs coach Mark Huaman accepted responsibility for that error.
In a statement released by the FHSAA, Executive Director Roger Dearing said: "I'm happy that the girls at Winter Springs get to play at the state series. Their forfeiture in the previous game was because of the coaches not being knowledgeable of the rules.''
Attorneys for the FHSAA and Winter Springs' players argued cases to Simmons. The big contention point was whether requests for an appeal made by the parents on behalf of their daughters were valid, even though Winter Springs Principal Mike Blasewitz agreed to a forfeit.
The parents didn't fill out the proper appeal forms as outlined in the FHSAA's handbook. In his ruling, though, Simmons said the parents' e-mails to FHSAA officials in the days after the initial sanction qualified as an appeal of bylaw 10.4.2, which can be made by "any individual or member school that is found to be in violation of the rules."
The team's attorney, Gerald Znosko, said it's almost certain the original sanction against thte Bears will not be lifted on appeal. No appeal date is set.
The FHSAA's attorney, Leonard Ireland, and Dearing said they will look to revamp the eligibility rules that started the case.
"It doesn't always turn out this way," Znosko said. "And I think nobody wants another team to have to go through something similar down the road."

Hey all, I hope you're enjoying this spring weather. Springtime is a great time to talk about art, isn't it?
Often times when I use art as a medium of creative expression with my young clients in the therapy room, I come across remarks like, “I am not an artist… I am not good at art…”
Feelings of insecurity and lack of confidence are some common concerns that show up during this process. When asked to express what is going on with them internally, through a medium that is distinct from verbal or written expression, some children may be hesitant to try or might even get frustrated with their resulting art piece.
In using art, my intention is to observe and follow the process of creation, not the quality of the final product. However, this struggle is real. I get it!
Building creative self-expression through art can be a very powerful tool in re-framing the negative narratives of doubt and insecurity, among children. You may notice, that the process of art parallels other parts of a child’s life. When feelings of doubt, self-criticism, and anxiety show up as part of artistic creations, it is valuable to explore the resulting effects of these feelings in other situations for the child, as well.
So, how can we engage children in a process that actively supports them in building their natural self-expression, their own voice and a sense of confidence?
Here are a few ways to try ~
1. Focus on the Creative Process. As a society, we are accustomed to believe that only certain people can be “artists”. Let’s alter this belief for our children. All of us have the capacity and the ability to be creative in our own ways. Encourage your child to use art, any medium - paint, crayons, paper mache, magazine collages, twigs, dried leaves, rocks, etc. to express their feelings and emotions openly, not worrying about what the final product looks like.
2. Create an Image for the Inner Critic. We all have this tiny little voice in our heads, better know as the inner critic. Support your child in becoming aware of their critic. Ask them to explore the feelings that the critic creates, particularly those of insecurity and doubt. Then let them imagine what this critic might look like. Ask them to draw, paint, or scribble on paper the imaginary characteristics of the critic. As a parallel process, encourage the child to look at other areas in their life where the critic comes up for them and brings them down.
3. Start Small. Work with your child by unraveling the belief of “I am not a creative person” or “I cannot be an artist”. Explore, the origin of this belief with them. Where did they pick up this message? In school? Among family members? Do they feel something can only be creative, when it is beautifully drawn or painted? After this exploration, encourage them to start creating something small. For example, a scribble on a post-it note, just a few lines on a piece of paper, or some concentric circles on an index card.
Thanks for reading!
P.S. – I hope you enjoy supporting your children in building self-expression and confidence through their own ways of creative learning. For more insights about the nature of the creative process, look out for my next blog. Until then, enjoy the sunshine!

Model development for integration of disease prevention and control at the district level, Watbat district, Phitsanulok province Disease prevention and control at district level was divided into communicable disease (CD) and non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention and control. Organization, personnel, operational process and project planning of CD and NCD were clearly separated by emphasizing to specific problems ordiseases. Lack of integration by target groups, health resources, personnel use, timing of activity methods caused low efficiency, working overlaps, inappropriate time and resources usage. Objective of this study was to develop integrated model of disease prevention and control at Watbot district, Pitsanulok province for increasing efficiency of health projects and decreasing waste of resources. This study design is action research followed by six steps. Situation analysis of organizational structure, health projects and disease problems information at district level was the first step. Study of natural history of disease prevention and control process for analyzing relevancy of CD and NCD was the second. Priorities and disease scope setting was the third. Integrated model design of organizational structure, disease surveillance, disease prevention and control, information system, management and personnel development was the fourth. the fifth step was integrated project planning in major 5 projects consisted of integrated management and personnel development project, integrated active disease surveillance project, health education and health promotion project, disease information system development project and comprehensive health service system development project. The step was evaluation of budget, personnel, resource and activity integration, work load decreasing, efficiency of service and cost of project operation. Study of disease nature and disease prevention and control process in target group. area, timing and activity methods found some similarities between CD and NCD , that cause possibility to design integrated projects in both academical and managerial aspects: (1)Management integration was done by organization setting, flexible budget sharing, personnel and resource sharing. (2)Integrated active disease surveillance in11 diseases of both CD and NCD improved effectiveness by increasing coverage of service from 2.67 to 6.75(percent) for over 15 years old people and from 2.84 to 11.36(percent) for over 35 years old people. The integrated method decreased 32.3 percent of provider costs and 70.58 percent of client costs, and decreased personnel work load as well saw use of resources.(3) Health education integration by activity model and target groups caused decreasing of activity costs, time use and work load.(4) Integrated disease information system was designed between CD and NCD. (5) Home health care service in both CD and NCD in community, disease investigation, epidemic control and chronic disease service system in health center were developed.
