A Case Of A Young Man With Extremity Paresthesias
A 29-year-old male with no significant past medical history presents to the emergency department for evaluation of progressive numbness and burning sensation to his bilateral hands and feet. He reports the symptoms have become so severe that he has started to have difficulty using his hands. He also states that he has had difficulty ambulating at times. He endorses neck pain and intermittently experiences a sensation that feels like “shocks down my spine” with movement of his neck. He has had poor PO intake related to recent homelessness. He has been living in his car while trying to find another apartment. He was bit by both a tick and a spider a few months ago and had transient elbow swelling after he noticed the bites. He also has had a dental abscess over the past few weeks which seems to be improving on its own. He denies fever, chills, night sweats, difficulty speaking, slurred speech or facial droop. All other ROS negative except as document above.

A final test was sent that clinches the diagnosis…
Vitamin B12 Level (ref 211 – 911 pg/mL): 200 pg/mL
Nitrous oxide induced vitamin B12 deficiency
Nitrous oxide is used in many industries for various purposes. We are familiar with its use in medicine and dentistry as an induction agent for general anesthesia and procedural sedation. It is also used as an aerosol propellant in many household products such as Lysol, spray paint, and in whipped cream and as a fuel in motor racing. For many years, people have used nitrous oxide as a recreational drug, colloquially referred to as “huffing” or “whippets”. It is more commonly abused in the adolescent to young adult population. Typically, it is dispensed into a container such as a balloon and then inhaled, causing a high.
So, how is this related to vitamin B12 deficiency?
The active form of vitamin B12 contains the element cobalt in its reduced form – Co+. When one inhales nitrous oxide, it oxidizes cobalt into Co3+ and Co2+ via an irreversible reaction, both of which render vitamin B12 inactive. This causes a functional vitamin B12 deficiency.
Vitamin B12 is an important cofactor in many of our body’s biochemical reactions, primarily for two enzymes:
A – methionine synthase: involved in the transmethylation of methyl tetrahydrofolate (MTHF) and homocysteine to methionine and tetrahydrofolate (THF), which is an important reaction in DNA synthesis and myelin synthesis
B – Methylmalonyl CoA-mutase: involved in the conversion of methylmalonyl CoA into succinyl CoA which enters the Krebs cycle and contributes to lipid and carbohydrate synthesis
Without active B12, these important biochemical reactions are inhibited, leading to accumulation of methylmalonic acid and homocysteine. These substances can also be measured in the serum and help lead to a diagnosis of B12 deficiency.
In summary, vitamin B12 is an important cofactor for enzymes involved in reactions that maintain the integrity of the myelin sheath, protect nerves and contribute to DNA synthesis.
Signs/symptoms of B12 deficiency
Most importantly, vitamin B12 deficiency can cause Subacute Combined Degeneration of the spinal cord because of its role in myelin sheath integrity and DNA synthesis. This can be both irreversible and progressive if the deficiency is not recognized and promptly corrected.
Degeneration occurs primarily in nerves in the dorsal and lateral columns of the spinal cord, which leads to impaired or loss of proprioception, vibration sense, tactile discrimination, paresthesias and burning pain, hyperreflexia, weakness, spasticity.
Risk factors for deficiency
- Nutritional deficiency – vegans, EtOH use disorder, developing countries
- Malabsorption – gastric surgery, pernicious anemia, gastritis, IBD, pancreatic disease
- Medications – gastric acid suppressants, metformin, nitrous oxide
Diagnosis of Vitamin B12 deficiency, leading to subacute combined degeneration, requires good clinical history and diagnosis.
Labs may show:
-Low or possibly low-normal Vitamin B12 levels
-Elevated methylmalonic acid and homocysteine levels
MRI imaging may show:
-Symmetric T12 signal hyperintensity in dorsal columns
Differential diagnosis includes:
Copper deficiency, vitamin E deficiency, demyelinating myelopathies (transverse myelitis, MS), infectious myelopathy (HIV), neurosyphilis (tabes dorsalis), peripheral polyneuropathy, methotrexate toxicity.
Our patient was admitted to neurology and started on vitamin B12 supplementation, first parenterally and then oral supplementation daily. Addiction medicine was also consulted to help with counseling on cessation of nitrous oxide abuse.
Keep this diagnosis in mind, especially when multiple risk factors are present
Neurologic damage from B12 deficiency can be progressive and permanent if not immediately corrected
Treat with B12 supplementation and address underlying cause

Named because the mature plants develop long wiry stems with small baby plants at the end, the spider plant is a popular hanging basket plant which can also be grown as a ground cover outdoors.
These are clump forming plants from South Africa and West Africa.
In the summer they produce arching panicles of small, six-petaled white flowers. The green leaves come in a variety of variegation.
Indoors or outdoors, grow in shade or sun in any soil.
Indoors grow as a hanging basket. Outdoors grow as a border or a ground cover.
These plants are prone to tip burn from excess salts, fluoride, or dry soil.
Propagation is by rooting plantlets or by division. When the babies develop roots at the end of the stems just snip them off and plant them in another pot.
Zones 9 - 11 (We've grown them in the ground in 7-8).

My daughter Caitlin just turned two years old last Saturday. She's still a few years away from starting school. But we are about to embark upon the lovely adventure of potty training. I keep telling myself...we survived the process with Christopher...hopefully, it'll be a bit easier this time around!
Be sure to tune in to News 7 Mornin' tomorrow for this week's Early Years segment. We are profiling the fitness program, Stroller Strides, which is targeted toward moms, who want to work out WITH their kids.

Happy New Year!! Okay, okay....I'm a few days late with that. But seriously, Happy 2011 to you! I am finally back in the swing of things, I think, after having last week off for vacation. We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's with family and friends. It was great having the time off with my children. We basically just played all week and had fun. It was a really nice break! My son Christopher was ready to go back to school, though. He asked me several times what the next day was, and if he was going to school then. I'm thankful that he enjoys school enough to miss it, even while he's goofing off!
There are lots of interesting topics in the news this week. No doubt you've seen the controversial U.S. Navy videos that prompted the "relieving" of Captain Owen Honors. But the most compelling national story that I saw from today is one you will see on News 7 at Noon about the homeless man from Columbus, Ohio who has the "golden voice." Ted Williams says he battled drug and alcohol problems for years, which derailed his radio announcing career. When video of him speaking turned up on the Internet this week, it caused such a sensation that he's receiving job offers...and hopefully, a second chance. It just goes to show that you never know what someone else has gone through just by looking at them, or what potential they might still have.

Oh wow...Christmas is almost here! I have been finished with my shopping for a week or so...and yet, I'm finding there are still a few last-minute stocking stuffers that I still need to pick up today. Try as I might to get EVERYTHING done before this week...there's always a last-minute errand. We've had a wonderful holiday season so far. My husband and I took the kids to see Santa at CHIP's Breakfast with Santa at Hotel Roanoke a couple of weeks ago...and the kids got a bit more face time with Santa last Friday, when St. Nick stopped by the station. Chris did wonder if it was the "same" Santa. I tried to side-step the question, but the older kids get, the harder it is to explain why Santa looks "different," depending on where you see him. I'm just happy that my son still believes in Santa. It seems like kids are younger and younger when they discover the "truth" about the big guy in the red suit. Of course, my daughter Caitlin is still too young to really understand the concept of Santa. I was just happy that she didn't cry on his lap either time...and actually seemed to like the Santa we had here at WDBJ. There's just no more magical moment at Christmastime than to see your children happily ripping open their presents with that glimmer of excitement in their eyes...and still believing that Santa brought some of them.
I hope you and yours have the Merriest of holidays...and a very Happy New Year.
I will be on vacation next week. So, I will see you in 2011!

Hello there... Hope you've been tuning in for all of our coverage on the Brittany Smith/Jeffrey Easley story. Our own Justin McLeod and photographer Lynn Eller made the trip out to San Francisco to bring you the latest. It is certainly good news that 12-year-old Brittany is safe, but there are still plenty of unanswered questions surrounding her abduction. I'm sure all of that will come out soon.
If you were watching News 7 Mornin' today, you might have seen some of Bob's segments on how to keep your live Christmas tree safe this holiday season. The best rule of thumb...common sense....don't forget to water it daily and switch off those lights when you leave the house or go to bed.
And speaking of the holidays, we had a busy weekend. My husband and I took the kids to CHIP's annual Breakfast with Santa event at Hotel Roanoke on Saturday. It was a great turnout, and all of the proceeds go toward helping the Child Health Investment Partnership of the Roanoke Valley, which assists medically-underserved kids in our area...a very worthy cause. The event of course, included photos with Santa. My son Chris was very much at ease...my not quite two year old daughter Caitlin was a little more shy. But I'm happy to report that she didn't cry on Santa's lap. So, we managed to get some good pictures for holiday cards. Oh, that's right...got to get those in the mail!
Tuesday, December 7
It's good to be back after a nice, relaxing three-day weekend. Relaxing as it was, I did manage to get a lot of holiday stuff done..i.e. getting and decorating the Christmas tree, wrapping presents, etc. I am probably 75 percent finished wtih my shopping..just a few odds and ends left to get, thank goodness! It seems to be coming quickly this year, and the lovely weekend snowfall just added to the holiday frenzy! It was my favorite kind of snow...looks pretty, but doesn't cause a massive amount of problems. I also enjoyed getting to see some of you on Sunday afternoon at "Sesame Street Live" It was fun doing the introduction, and helping count down to the big show. My kids loved it...but I think I enjoyed it just as much.
I was saddened to hear about the missing 12-year-old girl from Roanoke County. An Amber alert is still in effect for Brittany Mae Smith. Hopefully, she will be found safe and sound. Of course, she will still have to cope with the tragedy of losing her mother, Tina, whose body was found yesterday morning in their home. It's always tough reporting on stories like these, but especially upsetting here around the holidays. My prayers are with their family.

A's historic win (cont.)
What lingers today above all else is the youthful joy bursting forth in the Oakland sunshine Wednesday. Nobody saw this coming -- not even the smartest people in the Oakland organization, especially not when the team as late as June 1 was eight games worse than .500 and hitting like some lousy team from the deadball era, scraping by at .208.
Last year Oakland lost 88 games, after which it traded three of its top four starting pitchers (Trevor Cahill, Gonzalez and Guillermo Moscoso) and its closer (Andrew Bailey) and put together a team stocked with rookies and never-weres with the smallest payroll in baseball but for San Diego while playing in the rent-a-wreck of ballparks in an age where driveway envy has fueled an enormous construction boom just about everywhere else.
The team was lousy from the start, but kept shedding players and adding others, whether because of poor performance, injuries or various maladies. The spring training plans included keys roles for Manny Ramirez, Bartolo Colon, Kurt Suzuki, Brandon McCarthy, Brandon Allen, Kila Ka'aihue, Jemile Weeks, Eric Sogard . . . all of them gone or insignificant by various means by the time the team was a September juggernaut sweeping the weirdly tight Texas Rangers.
The Athletics managed to get their team batting average up to .239 by the end -- which still makes this the eighth-worst-hitting outfit in franchise history, and the other seven in their company were downright awful, with none of them closer than 12 games to .500. But, hey, with home runs, walkoff wins, solid defense and a young pitching staff in which Oakland threw caution to the wind, who cares about batting average?
While the Stephen Strasburg Shutdown became a major second half story in Washington, the Athletics kept running young pitchers out to the mound with no governors. Jarrod Parker, who was born four months after Strasburg, has rolled up 202 innings -- way beyond his high of 136.1 last year. The A's also pushed Tommy Milone, 25 (190 innings, a jump of 15.2 innings), A.J. Griffin, 24 (181.2, +21) and Daniel Straily (191.1, +30.2).
Reliever Sean Doolittle, who never before had pitched as a pro, pitched in each of the last four games and 59 in all between the minors and majors. Rookie Ryan Cook was used eight times in the last 11 games, including five in a row to end the season.
The A's had been at the forefront of protecting young pitchers with the way they carefully developed Tim Hudson, Barry Zito and Mark Mulder a decade or so ago. So closely did they monitor their work that they wouldn't let the pitchers throw to bases during fielding drills -- the better to save precious bullets. This year they blew up industry convention and just kept handing the ball to young pitchers. And it worked with a division title.
Who knows where this joyful madness goes? Last year Tampa Bay was the flavor of the month after that crazy win in Game 162 -- and yet the Rays were gone in a flash, losing in the ALDS in four quick games to Texas. Their inclusion in the 2012 postseason is hard to remember even just a year later.
Then again, St. Louis, another team that gained entry via Game 162 last year, won a world championship by nearly the narrowest of margins possible. They lost seven games, one fewer than the maximum possible for a championship, and three times survived being one strike away from elimination.
The only rule is that there are no rules this time of year. Momentum changes in the course of games. But no matter what becomes of Oakland, the Athletics -- and to some degree, Washington, Baltimore and Cincinnati, too -- already have inspired fans not just in the Bay Area, but also in places such as Toronto, Cleveland, San Diego, Kansas City, Seattle and Queens. You're never as far from the postseason as what we used to think.
Oakland's place in history already is secure, with the chance to grow it. The A's joined the 2006 Twins and 1951 Giants as the only teams never to hold first place alone until the last day of the season. And they did it on the 51st anniversary of when those '51 Giants took first for themselves on the Shot Heard 'Round the World, the iconic home run hit by Bobby Thomson. These are the moments that endure. These are the times that remind us why we love baseball.

Stocks quoted in this article:
Federated Department Stores (FD – 46.20) is the largest operator of upscale department stores in the United States. The company is responsible for such names as Macy's and Bloomingdale's, as well as five regional chains and the Fingerhut catalog operation.
This morning, FD announced fourth-quarter earnings of $2.15 per share, beating analysts' estimates by a nickel. Despite this positive earnings surprise, FD officials did admit that 2000 was a lackluster year, and said 2001 would prove to be challenging as well. All the same, the equity has risen more than one percent in early trading and is within a chip-shot of eclipsing its recent annual high of 47.10.
The shares have been a strong trender in this equity market, tacking on 120 percent from its July low. The shares are seated above all significant moving-average trendlines.
On the options front, speculators seem to favor the bearish check-out line. The site of heaviest overall open interest is the May 35 put, home to 2,207 open contracts. By contrast, the site of heaviest call open interest is the January 2002 45 strike, where 611 open calls reside.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has already made that claim while a new Nikkei Asia report today backs that up.
The report itself is focused on iPhone 12 orders, but it does also mention that there will be two new MacBook models coming later this year. While the MacBook Pro isn’t specifically mentioned, it’s generally accepted that we’re talking about high-end models here.
Meanwhile, Apple has rescheduled plans to begin mass producing two new MacBook laptops in the second half of the year, from the previous schedule of May or June, Nikkei has learned. The two MacBooks will be powered by the Apple Silicon processor as part of a two-year transition away from longtime supplier Intel’s microprocessors.
The new Macs will not only feature Apple silicon, but likely mini-LED displays as well. Talk of the return of SD Card reader, HDMI and other ports also suggests that this MacBook Pro refresh could be one of the best in years.
We’ll be keeping our ears to the ground but we do know that anyone looking to buy a portable Mac right now should probably hang fire for a little while. Just to see what happens.

“As soon as he started work at the hospital he became…fascinated by the differences in severity of break down between the different branches of the RFC. Pilots, though they did indeed break down, did so less frequently and usually less severely than the men who manned observation balloons. They, floating helplessly above the battlefields, unable to either avoid attack or to defend themselves effectively against it, showed the highest incidence of breakdown of any service. Even including infantry officers. This reinforced Rivers’s view that it was prolonged strain, immobility and helplessness that did the damage, and not the sudden shocks or bizarre horrors that the patients themselves were inclined to point to as the explanation for their condition. That would help to account for the greater prevalence of anxiety neuroses and hysterical disorders in women in peacetime, since their relatively more confined lives gave them fewer opportunities of reacting to stress in active and constructive ways. Any explanation of war neurosis must account for the fact that this apparently intensely masculine life of war and danger and hardship produced in men the same disorders that women suffered from in peace”.
The thoughts of army psychiatrist W.H.R. Rivers from the novel Regeneration by Pat Barker. In Regeneration, the first of a trilogy, Barker blends fact with fiction in her depiction of the relationship between Rivers and the celebrated poet Siegfried Sassoon, at Craiglockhart during the First World War.

Comics Journal Love
Check out this fantastic write up and review by Rob Clough in his small press spotlight column for The Comics Journal. Here’s what he says about Conundrum Press: “Based in Nova Scotia, Andy Brown’s Conundrum Press has quietly become a major force in alt-comics publishing.”
Here’s what he says about Dave Lapp’s latest, People Around Here: “Dave Lapp’s People Around Here is an example of slice-of-life, quotidian reportage, where every vignette is something that Lapp either witnesses, overhears or participates in. Lapp has an ear for the quirky, the gross, the crazy and the desperate in his city of Toronto.”
Also pretty sweet.
Most of the article however, is taken up praising Nina Bunjevac’s Heartless: “Her drawing chops are stunning, yet she’s no mere illustrator, as she breathes life into her characters as they are the vessels of her bawdy but bone-dry and pitch-black sense of humour.”

Fears are growing over the whereabouts of a 22-year-old Egyptian student who was last seen being dragged away from a Cairo metro station by a group of men, shortly before security forces raided his family home.
According to witnesses, unknown men apprehended Omar Khaled at a metro station in Egypt’s capital, Cairo, on Thursday while he was on his way to meet friends at university.
Officials told Khaled’s mother, Ghada Rifaat, that they did not know where her son was. Security forces, she said, raided the family’s home shortly after he disappeared.
“There was absolutely no warning or indication … he was going out normally to meet his friends and was kidnapped on the way,” Rifaat told on Monday.
“Had it not been for another student on his course tweeting that she had seen him being dragged away from the station by men in plainclothes, they would’ve had no idea about what happened to him.”
Khaled’s father, Khaled Abdelrahman, is a member of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and was imprisoned in 2013. Despite his father’s political affiliation, Rifaat said her son – a student of engineering – was apolitical.
“Omar wasn’t politically active,” she said. “He’s just an Egyptian student that loves his country and wants the best for it.”
She added that her requests for more information from police have so far been met with “shrugs”.
Khaled’s friends at Cairo’s Ain Shams University have responded to his apparent arrest with open defiance.
Several of his classmates planned to wear t-shirts demanding his release. Egyptian activists on social media used the hashtag ”Where is Omar Khaled?” to raise awareness about his disappearance. A Facebook page demanding his release was also set up.
Egypt is accused of abducting and torturing hundreds of activists, according to Amnesty International.
In a report published in July 2016, the rights group said children as young as 14 were being forcibly disappeared by the state security apparatus.
In a statement released alongside the report, Amnesty’s Philip Luther described the tactic as a “key instrument of state policy”.
“Egyptian authorities have repeatedly denied that enforced disappearances exist in the country, but the cases featured in this report provide strong evidence to the contrary,” Luther said in the statement.
“The report exposes not only the brutality faced by those disappeared but also the collusion between national security forces and judicial authorities, who have been prepared to lie to cover their tracks or failed to investigate torture allegations, making them complicit in serious human rights violations.”
According to Human Rights Watch, Egypt has tortured and imprisoned tens of thousands of political dissidents, particularly those linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi overthrew the Brotherhood-aligned former-President Mohamed Morsi in July 2013, later presiding over a bloody crackdown on the group.

The world must spend $45 trillion to cut its dependence on oil and reduce greenhouse gasses, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said Friday.
According to the IEA countries must commit 1.1% of projected total global gross domestic product (GDP) to develop sufficient clean energy technology by 2030.
"Carbon emissions must be cut. Costs of about 1% of [global] GDP are not outrageous, so this target is realistic," Go Hibino, a senior manager at Mizuho Information & Research Institute, told Reuters.
Without a change in current governmental policies, carbon-dioxide emissions will rise by 130% and oil demand will climb 70% by 2050, Nobuo Tanaka, IEA's executive director, said in a statement.
Story continues below...
"There should be no doubt - meeting the target of a 50% cut in emissions represents a formidable target. We would require immediate policy action and technological transition on an unprecedented scale," Tanaka said. "It will essentially require a new global energy revolution which would completely transform the way we produce and use energy... We need to act now."
No Longer Just an "Alternative"
In order to achieve the ambitious reduction targets, countries will need to build 32 new nuclear power plants and 17,500 wind-power turbines each year. If that happens, so-called "alternative" energy will no longer be just an alternative.
"The private sector has already been increasing its investment in clean energy at a very fast pace over the past few years," Michael Liebreich, chairman and chief executive officer of New Energy Finance, said in a press release. "We believe that if policies create the right incentives, our own expectation of $450 billion of annual investment in clean energy by 2012 can - and will - be met."
Here are some ways to get in on the trillions of dollars the IEA expects to see pouring into these sectors over the next several years:
- Two of the largest producers of wind-powered turbines include General Electric Co. (GE) and Siemens AG (ADR: SI). GE just received a $2 billion order from investment guru T. Boone Pickens and expects another $6 billion in orders from Pickens' planned 4,000 MW Pampa project alone. And Siemens will supply the turbines for a 500 MW wind farm planned in the United Kingdom.
- All of those new nuclear power plants are going to need uranium to keep them running. Cameco Corp. (CCJ) is the largest producer of uranium in North America. Diversified mining companies Rio Tinto PLC (RTP) and BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP) also have significant uranium holdings.
- If you prefer the built-in diversification that mutual-fund-type investments offer, consider an exchange-traded fund (ETFs) that focuses on such "clean" technologies as solar and wind power. One of the top ETF names in this category is PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy Fund (PBW).

Rovco charters Glomar Wave for offshore wind ROV campaigns
Rovco has announced the charter of the 66.44m DP2 vessel, Glomar Wave, from vessel owners Glomar Offshore.
The vessel will provide the ideal platform to support the campaign of secured ROV projects. This includes operational Offshore Wind Farms in both UK and German waters during the coming months.
On the vessel, Rovco will mobilize a dedicated and experienced offshore team, to operate its recently purchased Seaeye Leopard work-class ROV system and a second observation class ROV. The team will perform a multitude of detailed subsea IMR tasks, on a 24-hour basis, with a wide array of cable tracking and ROV tooling available, including the unique Intelligent Data Collection System SubSLAM X2.
Rovco's Seaeye Leopard ROV, combined with the DP2 Glomar Wave, will enable safe and efficient project delivery with great workability through wider operational weather windows. This charter agreement between Rovco and Glomar Offshore establishes a working relationship with multiple projects already secured together until Mid-September.
Ian Bryan, Rovco's COO, said:
“The charter of the Glomar Wave puts us in a very good position to deliver our booked projects successfully through the UK and Germany. We are excited to be working alongside Glomar to support the Offshore Wind Industry”
The Glomar Wave DP2 vessel is a 66.44m Service Operations Vessel (SOV) built-in 2014, providing accommodation for up to 60 personnel. The purpose-built vessel provides a wide deck space of 300m2, a deck load of 5 mt/m2 and 3 cranes for multi-purpose operations. Combined with our work-class ROV service capabilities, she is perfect for subsea activities across the lifecycle of offshore assets.
Panos Komninos, Chartering Manager at Glomar Offshore, said:
“We are excited to commence this first charter with Rovco, looking forward to an expanded cooperation in both the North Sea and Baltic Renewables markets.”

Joe Miller called a press conference Monday for the curious purpose of telling members of the media he would not be talking to them, at least about a great many things.
"We've drawn a line in the sand," he said about his campaign, according to the Associated Press. "You can ask me about background, you can ask me about personal issues, I'm not going to answer them. I'm not. This is about the issues. ... This is about moving this state forward, and that's our commitment."
The problem with that statement is, of course, when it comes to Miller the candidate, his background is intertwined with the issues he wants to address.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner is reporting former Fairbanks Mayor Jim Whitaker said Miller was nearly fired from his position as an attorney for the Fairbanks North Star Borough for violating an ethics policy. True? False? It's hard to say, though Whitaker seems a credible source with little incentive to lie. Too bad no media members can ask Miller to provide his take on what would clearly seem to be "background" hidden behind his line in the sand.
He's acknowledged his family received Medicaid and his wife received unemployment benefits. In and of themselves, neither of those things should matter in a campaign for federal office. However, on his campaign website, he criticizes Sen. Lisa Murkowski for her votes in favor of increasing federal spending on those programs. Is his criticism a change of heart? An acknowledgment of a past mistake? Hypocrisy? It's unclear, and now he won't burn off the fog with answers.
Miller also owned farmland in Kansas in the 1990s, and received federal subsidies for doing so. Again, for better or worse, those government payments are a way of life in American agribusiness. In 2004, 38 percent of American farms received some kind of subsidy, according to the USDA. What they aren't part of, however, is the Constitution, at least not expressly. Try as you might, you won't find a farm subsidy clause in the United States' foundational legal document. Now, is candidate Miller upset at himself for receiving those payments? Is he acknowledging the Constitution gives the federal government implied powers, in seeming contradiction to his expressed interpretation of the 10th amendment? A flip-flop? We don't know, and now we can't ask him.
Miller's website also proudly points out his background as a decorated Gulf War veteran. Normally, he would have every right to take pride in his honorable service, and it would certainly be a tremendous qualification for public office. However, if the past is truly off limits, then the nice things must be as well. Or is it, as we suspect, only the negative or questionable things about Miller's past that are off limits? Would it be OK to inquire about his degrees from West Point and Yale - a pair of elite academic institutions also mentioned on his Web page - but not kosher to pursue his opinions on the federal government dollars that went to pay for both of those diplomas? At this point, Miller's ground rules seem more akin to those used in 43-Man Squamish, not at Wrigley Field.
Of course, no member of the media can actually make any political candidate, or anyone else for that matter, answer anything. And Miller can't do anything to stop the press from asking. His press conference, however, was more. It was a suggestion Miller the candidate is above answering questions about Miller the man. Certainly, not every personal detail about Miller and his family should be sold in the marketplace of ideas. But when Miller the man did things Miller the candidate would seem to abhor, those contradictions need clarification. It's too bad, for the sake of both democracy and Miller, the man who could most easily add transparency and context will now not do so.

Have you ever walked into a store only to find the Black haircare products behind the counter or locked up in a glass cabinet? That was Jasmine Saunders’ experience at her local Walmart in California. While perusing the haircare aisle, she, along with a few other women of color, waited for an employee to come and unlock the cabinets.
In a statement to NBC News, Saunders said, “One poor girl was trying to look up products on her phone because you can’t even pick the products up to read directions, ingredients etc. I could not believe the emotional response it elicited, I felt as if the second I stepped into that aisle, that it had already been determined I’m a potential thief – as well as anyone else who looks like me.”
Once Saunders selected her products, they were then handed over to the employee, who took the items over to the register and held them until she was ready to check out. She was so offended by the behavior of the employee that she decided against making the purchase. “It was embarrassing to feel a part of a group being singled out,” she said. “I left my cart just sitting in an aisle.”
Unfortunately this isn’t Saunders first time experiencing this kind of discrimination from the mega-retailer. At a Walmart closer to her job, the Black haircare products were also locked behind cabinets. When she inquired about it, she was told that any item that is frequently stolen will be put in a cabinet, not just Black haircare products.
We are no stranger to this kind of thing. Race discrimination cases have been filed against Walmart in New York, Long Island and Virginia. The practice of locking up Black haircare products is wrong, but escorting the items to the register until you’re ready for purchase is beyond insulting. Retailers will change these practices once they respect the impact of the black dollar. What do you think? Is Walmart wrong for locking up Black haircare products?
Walmart Accused Of Racism For Locking Black Haircare Products Behind Glass was originally published on hellobeautiful.com

Authors of a new Journal of Professional Nursing The article provides strategic steps to build an infrastructure that supports innovation.
For nurses to be at the forefront of innovation in health and health care, nursing education must think strategically about the skills and knowledge required by the next generation of nurses, and then embrace those learning needs. innovation at all levels of research, education and practice, says a recently published article in the Journal of Professional Nursing, written by three leading nurses at University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing (Penn Nursing).
The item, Create an infrastructure for academic nursing innovationshares concrete steps to position nurses as leaders in this space and provides insight into how Penn Nursing has infused innovation into its mission and program.
Nurses are natural innovators in health care, and their understanding of patients, families, and communities provides a unique perspective on the use of technology and other innovative processes to promote health and well-being. , preventing disease and managing acute and chronic illnesses, the article states. .
Yet, he adds, nurses are absent or often silent partners in health and healthcare innovation initiatives.
Many schools of nursing are integrating innovation into their curricula and creating spaces for students and faculty to engage in the innovation process, but innovation must be a central driver of nursing education. nursing education being taught across the country, according to the article.
“We need to promote nurse-led innovation initiatives internally and externally, to amplify the work nurses do in education, research, policy and advocacy. practical,” says the lead author of the paper, Marion Leary, RN, MSN, MPH, FAHAChief Innovation Officer at Penn Nursing.
“If we do this, we’ll get a clear, consistent and unified message around nursing innovation and further strengthen the innovation ecosystem within the profession,” Leary said.
Make innovation part of the mission
Because innovation means different things to different disciplines, the key to integrating innovation into a school of nursing is to develop a common meaning of innovation within the academic and healthcare community, indicates the item.
“Developing a discipline-specific innovation perspective is a first step in guiding curriculum change and improvement,” says the paper’s co-author Antonia M. Villarruel, PhD, RN, FAAN, Professor and Margaret Bond Simon Dean of Nursing.
“This perspective will communicate to interdisciplinary colleagues and the role and direction of public nursing in innovation, and can be used to forge partnerships to address specific issues and problems,” Villarruel said.
Once the definition of innovation has been adapted, the authors describe the strategic steps to build an infrastructure that supports innovation. These steps include:
- Establish strategic goals to prioritize activities, align resources, communicate innovation, and serve as a benchmark for progress.
- Build an innovation infrastructure to systematize and embed a culture of innovation within the school.
- Train professors and professors who are champions of innovation.
- Integrate innovation into administrative functions.
- Build relationships between schools.
- External marketing of innovation expertise.
- Turning research findings into practice.
- Enables students to develop and lead innovations.
- Improve innovation education through active learning.
- Position nurses to drive and inform innovations in health systems.
Penn Nursing as a case study
The authors explain how Penn Nursing took the recommended steps to define and successfully infuse innovation into the school’s curriculum. The first step was to align with the University of Pennsylvania’s core values, including innovation.
Infrastructure and relationship building across campuses soon followed, including engagement with other schools to develop and support faculty and student skills and innovation projects.
Penn Nursing then created initiatives to educate the wider community about nursing innovation. Translating research findings into practice remains an ongoing initiative.
The article further describes Penn Nursing’s emphasis on active learning to enhance innovation education and how the school of nursing leverages practice partners to position nurses to lead and to inform innovations in healthcare.
“The Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report highlights nurses as innovators and advocates for them to see themselves as such, while calling on health and healthcare leaders to support the ‘Innovative Nursing Aptitude,’ Says Paper Co-Author Therese S. Richmond, PhD, RN, FAANAndrea B. Laporte Professor of Nursing and Associate Dean for Research and Innovation.
“Therefore, as we move forward,” says Richmond, “it will be critical that we create a foundation of innovation for the next generation of nurse leaders.

The most recent historic landing of a robot on a comet by the European Space Agency was an encouraging 1st step toward defending the Earth against interplanetary objects. This was a phenomenal achievement considering the distances involved as well as the speeds and precise control required to hit such a relatively small object hurtling through space.
It was an in-genius use of "sling-shot gravity" to get enough speed and the right trajectory to catch up to the comet that was travelling about 84,000 miles per hour.
The landing was also nothing short of miracle engineering and communication with a robot so far away.
However, the fact that this mission took 10 years to accomplish illustrates how far the human race still has to go to provide an adequate Earth defense against a future potential asteroid or comet strike.
If a comet or asteroid ever threatens the Earth, one of the more likely defense scenarios would involve sending an "Impactor" to collide with the object in an attempt to "nudge" the asteroid or comet out of its flight path, thereby missing the Earth.
The biggest challenges in this defense scenario are:
1) building something with an enormous mass, large enough to make a difference
2) propelling this mass to unimaginable speeds and then hitting the object soon enough to change its trajectory. Everything in space semms to be travelling at about 50-100,000 miles per hour, so this is an enormous challenge.
3) Hitting the object soon enough to move it off its flight plath.
Congratulations to the European Space Agency, who just demonstrated that 1 out of these 3 tasks is possible.

OBAMA ORCHESTRATED AND SUPPORTS SHARIA LAW IN KENYAN CONSTITUTION
Evidence strongly suggest that Barack Hussein Obama's Kenyan family are Wahhabist Muslims and they have extensive ties to terrorism.
Evidence strongly supports that Barack Hussein Obama himself is a Muslim.
Evidence strongly suggests that Senator Barack Hussein Obama campaigned in Kenya, which is illegal, for the Sharia loving leader Raila Odinga. (see video)
Evidence strongly suggests, from the mouth of Odinga himself, that Barack Hussein Obama and Raila Odinga are cousins. (see video)
Evidence further suggests that Raila Odinga, now Kenyan Prime Minister, is a mass murderer and radical Muslim. (see video)
Further evidence now shows that Barack Hussein Obama helped to orchestrate, through campaigning and financial support and with U.S. tax dollars, Sharia law in his native Kenya which he is now covertly encouraging. (Scroll to bottom for that video)
Odinga lost the Obama-backed election in 2008 and because of that, and his radical Muslim ties, 1000 Christians were killed as mass chaos and bloodshed spilled onto the streets of Kenya. To stop the mayhem Odinga was allowed to rule alongside the true winner of the election. Odinga has ties to Iran and it is surmised that he may be a go between to Iran for Obama. See this amazing video link before you do anything else and start it at the 13.00 minute mark. Incidentally, the next Kenyan election is less than a month away, and I already smell a rat.
The Examiner, reported the following on 6/13/11:
Article excerpt on Odinga’s planned ethnic cleansing derived from “US Envoy Calls Violence in Kenya ‘Ethnic Cleansing” USA Today 1/30/2008:
“The Taliban (Not the same Taliban as in Afghanistan) engaged in what US Envoy Jendayi Frazer called “clear ethnic cleansing of the Kikuyu opposition.”Line from Article, “Ethnic Cleansing in Luoland” The Economist 2/7/2008):
“Odinga’s supporters went on a rampage—burning Kikuyu homes and businesses.”Excerpt from Article, “Mob Burns Kenyans Seeking Refuge In Church” CNN 1/10/2008:
“Raping Kikuyu women, and murdering everyone in their path—including at least 50 Christian Kikuyu woman & children who had sought refuge in a church. They burned them alive.”Who is Raila Odinga and what relation does he have with Barrack Obama? What type of relation could be so strong that Obama would stand by Odinga’s side as he campaigned for president of Kenya? The BBC originally reported that Obama and Odinga were first cousins; Obama later denounced any familial ties. What we do know about Odinga is this; his father (Odinga Odinga), was leader of the “Kenya People’s Union” and perceived as a “dedicated socialist”. Odinga’s father (Odinga Sr.), was also a political ally of Barrack Obama’s father; Barrack Obama Sr. Odinga was a former Minister of Energy, Odinga is reported to have been set up in the oil business by the Al-Bakri Group and Muammar Quaddafi. The Al-Bakri Group was listed on the infamous “Golden Chain”–an internal Al-Qaeda list of wealthy Saudi financial sponsors seized by Bosnian police in an Islamic “charity” raid in 2001. According to his website http://www.raila07.com ; Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany, (Herder Institute, Leipzig & Otto von Guericke Tech. Institute, Magdeburg. He even named his son “Fidel”.

“Perhaps most troubling is Odinga’s links to Islamic extremists in Kenya. According to Voice of America and the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, on 8/29/07, Odinga signed a secret agreement (exposed 11/27) with Sheikh Abdullah Abdi of the National Muslim Leaders Forum (NAMLEF) in which he agreed to institute Islamic law in exchange for Abdi’s support (eakenya.org)–thereby potentially disenfranchising and curtailing the liberties of millions of Christian Kenyan women. Further, he promised that Muslims suspected of terrorism would be safe from extradition—thereby establishing a ‘safe haven’ for terrorists in Kenya. After the public outcry, Odinga denied signing a secret agreement. Angry at Odinga’s apparent repudiation, a member of NAMLEF subsequently released the agreement to the press.Gateway Pundit, in April of 2011 reported the following:
Odinga then claimed the document was a forgery, but acknowledged a secret agreement had been signed in exchange for Muslim support. Finally, under constant pressure, Odinga released what he claimed was the actual document (“Real” MOU) a considerably watered down version of the original; but still anathema to many Christian groups. “In response to the revelations, The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya released a statement in which church leaders said Raila, in both MOUs, comes across as a presumptive Muslim president bent on forcing Islamic law, religion and culture down the throats of the Kenyan people in total disregard of the Constitutionally guaranteed rights of freedom of worship and equal protection of the law.”
Yup. You can tell they’re cousins.
Obama’s cousin Odinga likes to clean the slate too.
In 2006 Barack Obama took a trip to Kenya on the taxpayer’s dime.
While visiting Kenya as a guest of the government Obama campaigned for socialist Raila Odinga, who claims he is Obama’s cousin.
Odinga’s opponents said Odinga was using Obama “as his stooge.”
Here’s the video:
Later Odinga was accused of starting genocide after the the death toll from tribal violence over a disputed 2007 election passed 1,000.
Now Odinga is clearing the way for an easy election win in 2012.
Seattle PI reported:
Six Kenyans must report to The Hague on Thursday for preliminary proceedings over charges of crimes against humanity. More than 1,000 Kenyans died and 600,000 were forced from their homes during the violence in late 2007 and early 2008.
Two of the six — Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and former Higher Education Minister William Ruto — have held several rallies in recent weeks, including an afternoon of speeches before thousands on Monday in the town of Gatundu, a region full of Uhuru supporters…
…Uhuru — the son of the late Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya’s first president after independence from Britain in 1963 — is being billed as a top contender for Kenya’s next presidential election in 2012.
Now Uhuru’s and Ruto’s political futures will be colored by what transpires at the ICC, whose prosecutor contends that the six helped direct the election violence. Also charged are former Minister of Industrialization Henry Kiprono Kosgey, Cabinet Secretary Francis Kirimi Muthaura, former police chief Mohammed Hussein Ali and broadcaster Joshua Sang.
Violence erupted in Kenya after President Mwai Kibaki was declared winner of the December 2007 vote that supporters of the leading opposition candidate Raila Odinga said was rigged.
Postelection clashes erupted between tribes that supported Kibaki, a Kikuyu, and those that supported Odinga, a Luo. Fighting stopped after former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan mediated an agreement that made Odinga prime minister.

But this isn't it. The story goes on. Today, thanks to Odinga, Kenyans constitution has turned towards Shariah and Obama is in the thick of it. Here is what Gateway Pundit reported in July of 2010:
Obama-Supported Kenyan Constitution Forces Sharia Law
Yesterday, it was reported that Barack Obama is illegally funding a pro-abortion referendum in Kenya.
But, it gets worse… The Constitution Obama is supporting forces Sharia Law in the country.
Obama’s radical socialist cousin Raila Odinga is Prime Minister of Kenya.
Kathryn Jean Lopez at National Review reported:
U.S. financial and rhetorical support for this constitution has some members of Congress calling for an investigation. In a letter to inspectors general of the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Republican representatives Chris Smith of New Jersey, Darrell Issa of California, and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida raised questions about American constitutional lobbying in Kenya: “The Obama Administration’s advocacy in support of Kenya’s proposed constitution may constitute a serious violation of the Siljander Amendment and, as such, may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.”And Jihad Watch had this story:
Administration officials have denied the lobbying charge. But, as the letter points out, our ambassador to Kenya has been quoted as saying that the U.S. has given Kenya $2 million for “civic education” about the constitution, and that we’re committed to more.
“The U.S. shouldn’t be interfering with this process, and we have serious questions about why the Obama administration is promoting a constitution which allows abortion on demand and waters down protections for religious freedom,” says Rebecca Marchinda of the New York–based World Youth Alliance, which has an office in Nairobi.
And, as if the West’s exporting of its abortion license to Kenya — a nation known for a growing, enthusiastic Catholic and other Christian presence — weren’t alarming enough, the proposed constitution would also create a legal system within a legal system — codifying the strengthening of sharia by making it apply to every Muslim Kenyan. As Eric Rassbach of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty points out, “People are subjected to these tribunals merely by virtue of what religious community they were born into, and they have no way of opting out.”
Ray Walser of the Heritage Foundation gives the Obama administration the benefit of the doubt: “I would suspect the administration is pushing the constitution package as a whole with the promise to reduce presidential power and to place constitutional safeguards against corruption.” That would take Joe Biden at his word. But the Achilles’ heel of this administration is that it is not, in the subtle words of Walser, “adverse to measures that permit space for sharia-like legal customs — for Muslim outreach/public-diplomacy purposes — and also walk back Bush-administration strictures and squeamishness on abortion issues.” It also serves as a “signal that the voice of the U.S. religious lobby is not as powerful as it believes it is.”
This is perhaps why, Obama's video address to Kenyan's, marking the 50th anniversary of their Constitution is quite deceptive. While he talks DEMOCRACY what he means is SHARIA. It can't be clearer. Why would this government ask the people of a Sharia-based government to keep the rule of law? Answer: When it is Sharia, Obama the Muslim is "all in". - W.E.

As night falls, things that go bump in the dark tend to scare and provoke nasty thoughts. But in the dark, Nature gets to show off her other side, seizing the stage in the absence of light. We marvel when something happens that’s out of the ordinary, and beyond our imagination. And at these particular places on Earth, creatures have an ability that you could call a superpower.
Bioluminescence. The secret light show of the underwater world. Certain species of flora and fauna have a survival mechanism that causes their bodies to produce light, or at least reflect what little of it there is in the depths. We might have seen demonstrations of these abilities online from time to time, like a mythical bedtime story. But you can witness these incredible displays of light and life without having to plumb the ocean’s vastness.
If you can get your timing just right, you’ll get a peek into a wild water show unlike anything else.
Torrey Pines State Beach, San Diego, California
Dinoflagellates, the uncanny organisms that create this light, have gravitated to the shores of San Diego, creating algal blooms, or red tides by day. As night falls, the breaking of the waves along the coast aggravates these massive congregations of dinoflagellates, transforming the waves into beams of light that travel across the beach.
Keep a close tab on the scientific discussion surrounding this topic at this area to get the best sense of when to check it out.
Mosquito Bay, Vieques, Puerto Rico
Also known as the Vieques Bio Bay, this has become one of the premier locations to witness some bioluminescent beauty. Strict preservation regulations and protection of the star attraction mean there are specific protocols to follow, but spending the night here gives you the best views of the lights.
Ever wondered what it would be to ride a spaceship? On a kayak trip in the dead of night here, over swirling shimmering swathes of underwater lights, it comes pretty close.
Jervis Bay, Australia
Nature caused quite a stir when holiday-goers at this beach in New South Wales witnessed flashes of light coming from the shore. As it turns out, it was visits by the travelling performances of sea sparkles, or a strain of plankton that emits light when disturbed.
Known to tour around the waters of the region, this is not a regular fixture. But catch it in season, and enjoy a magnificent night stroll along the beach unlike any other, with glowing footprints for starters.
Vaadhoo Island, Maldives
Hordes of plankton cause the marine visual exhibition that has given this island global renown gathered along the shoreline. Ostracod crustaceans or seed shrimp, also bear responsibility by colliding into the sand. The illumination that results is their reaction to aggravation or danger. You realise the light you see is the dying gasps of these organisms, stirring a profound sense of mortality.
Sometimes things do shine the brightest right before they burn out. But, such is the circle of life, ever mysterious and wondrous.
Space Coast Kayaking Tour, Florida
Sometimes, it’s not enough to behold beauty from a distance. You want to immerse yourself within the vistas, letting the palpable wonder overwhelm you. Enter Florida’s nighttime activity: bioluminescent kayaking. Paddle across underwater ecosystems, that burst with light once disturbed by the action of the other animals residing.
As fish burst from the water, coated in luminous majesty, you’ll have to blink twice and remember that you’re still on Earth, and not an alien planet.
Punta Cocos Beach, Holbox Island, Mexico
During the day, seeing a stretch of pristine beachfront encroached by a red tide of dormant plankton might leave a sour taste in the mouth. But this quiet Caribbean seaside destination keeps you distracted with other pleasures till the sun sets. Then, the red tide turns to stars, and like the proverbial ugly duckling, you’re taken aback by the surprising beauty that radiates from the shores. But don’t stop there. Wade into the waters and take a closer look. Seeing the lights slip through your fingers is an enchanting experience.
Preservation Bay, Tasmania
The Australasian region has seen a significant number of bioluminescent sightings over the years. The jagged, obsidian coasts of Tasmania’s northwest being visited particularly often by the dinoflagellate hordes. The rugged landscapes are prime terrain for stirring the plankton, filling the cracks and spraying the air with their incandescent retorts. The elemental dance of Earth, water and light makes for epic compositions.
See Firefly Squids at Toyama Bay, Japan
Thanks to the geography of the underwater canyon in the vicinity, powerful currents force swarms of these fairy-esque creatures to the waters of Toyama Bay. With tentacle tips packed with photophores, the amassing of these creatures forms constellations and celestial formations that are a sight to behold, as you watch from a boat. Fishers see it too and prepare to harvest tonnes of the famous squid for its characteristic, unusual acquired taste.
Blue Grotto, Malta
Stunning enough on its own, stark cliffs stand guard over a cave with hidden treasure within. While not filled with luminous creatures, sunlight hits the azure waters inside that give a fluorescent hue to the interiors, making for a surreal boat ride. It’s undoubtedly the highlight of a day excursion to the islands of Capri, the pinnacle of prettiness in an already gorgeous landscape.
Waipu Caves, New Zealand
As science has discovered more animals with this ability, these caves in New Zealand have grown in popularity for their luminous residents: glowworms. You’ll need to get wet and dirty on the trek to their front door, but the sights that await will be well worth it. As tunnels open into stalagmite ceilings and caverns, the galaxies of ethereal visions are the glow worms welcoming you to their humble abode.
The tricky thing about these microscopic marvels is their unpredictability and ambiguous Nature. Science is still grappling with a cohesive understanding of their migratory patterns, so getting to witness these feats takes a certain amount of luck. But the blessed few in the right place at the right time will never forget it. Many have found themselves mystified and stunned, frightened and amazed, all at once, and you could too.

Meme Coins Take Over Coinbase's Base Layer-2 Network
In the ever-evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies, trends emerge and captivate the imagination of investors and enthusiasts alike. In recent months, the phenomenon of meme coins has taken center stage, with platforms like Solana witnessing a surge in meme coin trading that strained their networks. Now, the spotlight shifts to Coinbase's six-month-old layer-2 blockchain, Base, where a similar frenzy is underway.
Key Stats Reflecting Base's Meteoric Rise
Base, once a relatively quiet corner of the crypto world, is now experiencing an unprecedented surge in activity, driven primarily by the trading of meme coins. The statistics paint a vivid picture of this growth:
Fee Surge Amidst Growing Demand
However, this meteoric rise in activity has not been without its challenges. The increased traffic on Base has inevitably led to higher transaction fees, posing a hurdle for users. Recognizing this issue, Coinbase is diligently working to enhance the network's capacity by a staggering 400 times, demonstrating a commitment to resolving the challenges posed by unprecedented demand.
BRETT: The Enigmatic Meme Coin
Among the myriad of meme coins gaining traction on Base, one stands out: BRETT. Inspired by a character conceived by artist Matt Furie, BRETT has captured the imagination of traders and enthusiasts alike. Despite the ambiguity surrounding BRETT's identity (with speculation ranging from toad to frog), its popularity continues to soar, underscoring the influence of meme culture in the crypto sphere.
Coinbase's Stance: Embracing the Meme Coin Movement
While refraining from endorsing specific assets, Coinbase has welcomed the surge of meme coin activity on Base. Emphasizing their commitment to democratizing blockchain technology, Coinbase sees the influx of meme coin traders as an opportunity to expand the Base ecosystem and make blockchain technology more accessible through faster and more cost-effective transactions.
Conclusion: A New Chapter in Crypto's Evolution
As meme coins continue to dominate headlines and captivate the imagination of investors, platforms like Base are witnessing unprecedented growth and activity. While challenges persist, the enthusiasm and innovation driving this movement signal a new chapter in the evolution of cryptocurrencies, one where memes and mainstream finance intersect in unexpected ways.

Warren Jeffs, the man serving a life sentence for raping two children, is still in bad shape, but has been upgraded from critical to serious condition in a Texas hospital. Jeffs was rushed to the hospital on Sunday because he was not eating or drinking enough, according to reports.
There is little sympathy for Jeffs, a man that claimed to have “spiritual brides” that were 12 and 14 years old. It would later come out that he’s had a history of molestation and abuse of children, including his young relatives.
Warren Jeffs may be successful in his attempts to end his own life or may just be doing this for even more attention, but he is far away from children and that is the best thing.

One Life permeates the fullness of It’s one body; the manifest body of existence. This body is all that is visible and tangible. It is the natural extension of Infinite Love and Intelligence and it is forever growing and transforming. I am this Infinite Intelligence individualizing and that which I call ‘my body’ is the manifest form of my thoughts, feelings and desires.
Right now I know my place in the design of the Infinite. I see clearly the gift I offer, I am blessed in all that I receive. All that ‘is’ abides with me and is for my use for has come to me by my agreement in mind. Today I claim all that is before me for it belongs to me by right of consciousness. When the need arises God does not withhold and every action brings me closer to the home I would choose. I have found my place and my family, and I have realized the fount of love that abides in me. I know who I am; I have witnessed my God and felt my heart overflowing.
I see clearly my Source and my place, and know that I could never be bereft in such an awesome presence. I am filled with a fullness of heart that flows into every moment and all my company. I surrender my word now and in all eternity. I know it is complete for in my release I have found my place revealed. It is done now.
And so it is.
Affirmation: I Am here on purpose and rejoice in my Choices.


Ebonyi Governor, David Umahi, at the weekend, warned political actors to stop heating up the polity over who succeeds him in 2023, saying he was not hell-bent on producing the next governor of the state.
The governor, who expressed dismay over the tension the insinuation that he was working on producing his successor has generated, called for peace, love, and unity in the state.
He said he has nothing to fear about 2023, maintaining that God will produce his successor when the time comes.
The governor, however, warned those seeking to hijack and control the state from outside to stop wasting their time and resources, saying the state has outgrown such manipulations.
Governor Umahi spoke when he addressed members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the state congress at Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium in Abakaliki.
He urged the National Assembly members from the state to forgive whatever misgivings they may have about the running of the party in the state for the interest of peace and progress.
He called on them to support his government and their constituents, saying they could be re-elected as many times they want provided their constituents are comfortable with them.
‘’I have nothing to fear. And I cannot replace myself. God will bring my successor. So, there should be no tension in Ebonyi. The best thing to do is to put your confidence in God, support the people and support the government. If you like, you can go 20 times. If your people need you, what is my problem? I am not going to make trouble and become enemy to people.
‘’But there are those who think they can bring leadership to Ebonyi State from outside. It is not going to be so because Ebonyi has come of age,’’ he said.

I am have 4 100+lb dogs I make there food and fix it fresh every meal yes it is time consuming I have one female around 120 or lbs she breaks out after eating her meals in hives and it is worse if given Benadryl she is 3 yrs old I need some help I have changed diet and when I think I have found something that works I delivered these dogs so this is an old problem . HELP
To be fair, humans do not suckle a cow either but we still eat dairy. 🙂 We have found sources online that say it’s ok to give a dog dairy as long as they’re not lactose intolerant, the same goes for grain. Each dog is unique so it’s important to know what is ok for your dog’s digestive system and to talk to your vet if you have any questions. I know many dogs who have eaten dairy and grain and have been completely fine.
All of the above dog food recipes will be deficient in many essential nutrients. There is no significant source of calcium or adequate sources of micronutrients such as B vitamins, vitamin D, etc. In addition to lacking calcium, the calcium:phosphorus ratio is an important consideration. Please consult your veterinarian before feeding any home diet. These are not adequate!!

Day 30, Scarf 30: Canadian Confetti
Today's scarf was a mix of white and red yarn but the red was very unique with flecks of green, yellow and orange. The red and white gave me the Canadian reference and the flecks made me think of confetti.
Max started eying this while I was knitting it. This happens every so often and I have to remind him that the scarves are not for him. When I've finished the project perhaps I will go out and buy some yarn to remake his favourites (somehow I don't think that they will be the same).
