Consultative (expert) second opinions in soft tissue pathology.
Analysis of problem-prone diagnostic situations.
Arbiser ZK, Folpe AL, Weiss SW.
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University Hospital, 1364 Clifton Rd, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA.
We reviewed 500 consecutive soft tissue lesions referred for expert consultation to determine types of lesions and/or situations in which major discrepancies occur.
Of 266 cases (53.2%) accompanied by a diagnosis, essential agreement with the second opinion was noted in 68%, minor discrepancy in 7%, and major discrepancy in 25%.
The 65 major discrepancies were distributed proportionally to the referring sources and could be divided into 4 groups: benign mesenchymal lesions diagnosed as sarcomas (45%), sarcomas diagnosed as benign tumors (23%), nonmesenchymal lesions diagnosed as sarcoma (20%), and major grading discrepancies (12%).
Relatively few lesions accounted for a major proportion of major discrepancies.
Problematic lesions were lipoma and fasciitis and their variants and desmoplastic-neurotropic melanoma.
Needle biopsy specimens were somewhat more likely to be associated with a discrepant opinion.
With the exception of nonmesenchymal lesions, the diagnosis for all major discrepant cases could be made on the basis of the H&E-stained slides, suggesting that failure to perform immunostains did not account for discrepancies.
Lack of familiarity with rare or unusual lesions is probably more significant in explaining diagnostic discrepancies than is the increasing use of needle biopsy or the failure to perform immunohistochemical analysis.

The first true “Chanel suit” was produced in 1925; Coco used chains to weigh down the fabric, so that it hung “just so”. She favored ornamentation such as ribbons, pretty buttons, and ropes of pearls. Her feminine touches added style and impact to her wearable designs; in fact, even vintage Chanel designs remain remarkably timeless and easy to wear.
One of the most acclaimed fashion designers in the world, Karl Lagerfeld was born in Hamburg, Germany. As a teenager, Lagerfeld worked at Balmain for four years before moving to Jean Patou where he became artistic director at 21. His prolific portfolio now encompasses Chanel and Fendi along with his own house. Known for his bold designs and constant reinvention, he’s been hailed Vogue magazine as the “unparalleled interpreter of the mood of the moment.” King Karl, the one-man multinational fashion phenomenon.
Giorgio Armani was born on July 11, in 1934, in Italy. Armani is an iconic and unique fashion designer. His popularity skyrocketed in America in the 1980s with his men’s ‘power suits’. Armani attracted an enviable fashion following in the 80s with the unstructured jackets and soft trousers in mineral hues. With more than three decades in the business, Armani has enjoyed a longevity as a designer experienced by few others.
Fashion designers may work full-time for one fashion house, as 'in-house designers', which owns the designs, or they work alone or as part of a team. Freelance designers work for themselves, selling their designs to fashion houses, directly to shops, or to clothing manufacturers. The garments bear the buyer's label. Some fashion designers set up their own labels, under which their designs are marketed. Some fashion designers are self-employed and design for individual clients. Other high-end fashion designers cater to specialty stores or high-end fashion department stores. These designers create original garments, as well as those that follow established fashion trends. Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs of men's, women's, and children's fashions for the mass market. Large designer brands which have a 'name' as their brand such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Justice, or Juicy are likely to be designed by a team of individual designers under the direction of a design director.
Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn, and they work within a wide range of materials, colors, patterns and styles. Though most clothing worn for everyday wear falls within a narrow range of conventional styles, unusual garments are usually sought for special occasions such as evening wear or party dresses.
Lauren first gained acclaim with his wide ties, which were often made of unusual fabrics. These standout accessories were not yet trendy in the late Sixties, when he began to try and sell them to New York stores. Soon, word spread about Lauren’s somewhat dandyish personal style and his flashy neckwear; he used this success to find investors and then he branched out into men’s and ladies suits and casual wear. Eventually, his clothing lines were sold at high-end stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, where they became extremely popular.
Talented and charismatic, he soon drew the attention of VIP’s in the fashion world; they appreciated his chic knitwear and his creativity. Always influenced by art, Gianni Versace drew inspiration from ancient Roman and Greek paintings and sculpture, as well as modern abstracts and Pop Art – producing bold, current designs using color, prints, and careful fitting that accentuated the lines of the body,
This sleek blend of an advanced robe, a conventional kimono and a legitimate coat has been a shockingly in vogue and all around acknowledged pattern since the previous summer. A fancier, single-shaded adaptation of a year ago’s midriff length elegant gowns absolutely worth bringing down from the runways that it is administering this. They are slouchy, ample and lightweight. In spite of the fact that tossed in with these late spring trench coats, only for it, belts, particularly a medium-estimate obi belt, with a bunch in the side, can finish the look.
Latest 2019 Fashion Trends for Women. It’s another year, a fresh start, and the ideal time to refresh your closet with quality pieces and crisp outlines for 2019. Be strong and go after those snakeskin donkeys or silk aircraft. It’s another season, and you’re reevaluating yourself and your storage room, recollect? We have picked a portion of the most recent and most wearable design patterns for ladies. Along these lines, let us investigate the Top 10 Fashion Trends in 2019 for Women to adopt.
It was a season where emotions, personalities and uniqueness reigned supreme. The monthlong round of shows culminated in a heart-warming and outstanding Chanel show—the last ever technically created by the late creative director, Karl Lagerfeld. An alpine scene magically assembled within Paris's Grand Palais featured a lineup of Chanel girls old and new, and a finale to rival any—with the likes of Karen Elson, unable to hold back the tears, walking through the "snow" next to Cara Delevingne, Mica Argañaraz and Penelope Cruz, to name but a few high-profile faces. The show also confirmed that one of the designer's most beloved of fabrics—bouclé—was set to be a trending choice for A/W 19.
A most notable Indian-fashion-designer. He’s identified for his work in fashion-industry since 1987, and is another Bollywood-dearest. He got his degree from New York institute of fashion technology, and when came back, realized that there is a huge appeal of designer-wear in India, so he opted for being a dress-stylist and revolutionized the field of fashion in 1987, by opening his very first boutique in India with a name “Ensemble”. His own label is named as ”Ahilian” and in 1990, established his design studio “Tahiliani Design Studio” in New Delhi. This brand is well-known for artistic and perfect styles. His clothes are sold not only in India but also in London, New York, Tokyo, Dubai and Hong Kong.
Women who enjoy the artsy style tend to stay away from the traditional ‘trends’ of the fashion world and love to make a statement with their clothing. Oftentimes they will be the creator of their own fashions, designing and creating their own blouses, hats, and jackets. Each artsy style will be different per woman, as everyone has their own idea of what ‘art’ truly is. That’s what makes this particular fashion style so unconventional and interesting.

The world Religion implies re-union re-ligare which in a common-sensical definition, it would mean the unification of man as one and equal; but as anything in this world, we have adjusted it to create our own set of rules and values that we established as ‘the ground we stand upon individually’ even if it’s absolutely uneven, swampy or completely unsustainable. But because we ‘stand on it,’ we believe that ‘it is acceptable’ and ‘sustainable’ eventually thinking that because of all the time, effort and money that we spent on creating such base for us to stand upon, it is ‘our worth,’ sometimes we value more the idea of ourselves than actually taking into consideration what we are in fact as physical living beings. We sometimes end up defending and guarding it with our very own lives, often losing perspective and creating this entire ‘entity’ in separation of ourselves as equal living beings in this world.
This Self-Created Religion as all the beliefs, judgments, ideas, preferences, values is then created as a set of ‘laws’ that we have become and deeply incrusted them into and as our being, believing that it would be impossible to ever change them, because we’ve created ‘who we are’ in relation to that set of knowledge and information as our ego.
I have an example of this, it is my father – ‘genio y figura hasta la sepultura’ is a saying in spanish, an idiom for explaining how one will remain being one’s ego / mind-set/ self-religion until death. One can even take proud on such points, believing that it is actually something honorable to stick to one’s beliefs and thoughts and remain ‘unchangeable’ throughout one’s life – but not within a common sensical perspective of being stable and remaining what we call ‘grounded,’ but actually being extremely rigid about one’s ‘way of being.’ That’s how I could define a Self-Religion. I gave this example to place now myself into perspective, taking such points as myself and when I see this, I see: I’ve been quite a stubborn person in ‘changing my ways.’ I have played the exact same role of not being ‘flexible’ at all times, which means, I’ve lived by that which I ‘believe is so’ and anyone that could dare to challenge it, I would mostly attack and deny or even ‘prove wrong’ within a haughty position.
Man, was I stubborn, even my family members reminded me about that this last December when sharing about our childhood and how we used to be. I accepted the fact that I had been quite a picky and stubborn mostly spoiled child – you guys reading this blog and following my process would not have believed how I was and how I behaved as a child. Though, that’s been mostly exposed for myself to see how I accepted and allowed myself to be playing this role as a ‘drama queen’ just so that I wouldn’t have to take Self Responsibility, which has been part of me stopping all forms of victimization and a general stance of self-righteousness often accompanied with rigid statements and ‘self-laws’ based on my personality/ ego/ persona.
I’ve been quite self conscious throughout my life, I would deliberately create certain ‘systems’ of beliefs/ preferences/ words/ mannerisms and everything else that encompassed ‘my world’ in a very specific way to build myself as a personality. Each point that I would ‘integrate’ as myself , I would ‘make it my own’ and stick to it as if my very life depended on it.
This became part of how I would guard my belongings with my life, being extremely obsessed about having everything under control, being extremely strict about things that I would allow within myself and others that I simply would never engage myself with – essentially being rather stiff about everything. As a child I was extremely serious and disciplined and would suit myself according to the environment I was in at the moment. If I was at school, I would be very serious and behave like a little tin soldier. If I was at home, I would be rather spoiled and wanting to be just having the TV all for myself, all the time = rather possessive and picking up frictions around with my sisters whenever anyone would dare to ‘invade my space.’ If I was wanting to dance or be all goofy, I would ‘take the stage’ and be that in an absolute manner. My mother has dubbed me as ‘extremist’ in terms of how I take on something and live it/ apply it full-on – lol, I guess that’s cool in terms of how I take on this process now, problem was and still is when I would take non-supportive things ‘full-on’ in a rather obsessive manner. I guess that’s how I got to know my ‘limits’ as well, hence not a ‘mistake’ but a road that I simply saw would lead me nowhere.
All of these aspects I can see I used to shape/ form my belief system as the ‘Marlen Religion’ that I fully became. Lol, I remember there was a moment at the farm, I was rather sick or going through some of those tortuous moments of facing myself within a specific point, I felt like shit and I knew that I looked as if I was dying, and Bernard came into the kitchen and said: ‘The death of Marlena! lolol’ which is supposed to be that process of having to let go of the entire ego/ personality and actually beginning to live. All I could do is realize that anything that I could perceive is ‘haunting me’ or feeling like this huge block on top of my head, causing me to be hunching more than usual and having a rather droopy facial expression as a sign of ‘I’m not “feeling well,” was part of the self-created process wherein I got to see what I was actually torturing myself with. It was my own mind, of course.
See, the physical was simply here and just allowing me to see that I had to let go of such fears and judgments that I was tormenting myself with at the time = that’s my religion. All preferences, all ideas of what and who I have to be, it’s like taking on custom-made suit that we used to wear to become this specific personality that we then believe we can’t just ‘take off,’ because we fear being naked and exposed or something like that. Well, this is obviously metaphorically speaking, but I knew that I had to walk out of that limitation and opening up to new ways of living and ‘handling myself’ in the world, which are here for me to be and become, to stand one and equal to in common sense.
The Religion of Marlen became quite obvious the more I got to know myself and started seeing how everything that I regarded as ‘who I am’ and ‘what I am’ are nothing but self-created ideas, beliefs, judgments and preferences that I have taken on and sown as the quilt that I’ve become, in terms of personality and overall self-presentation and embodiment as ‘who I am.’
What I explained in the past as going through an ‘emotional breakdown’ at the beginning of this process – and even a while before that – I linked to the Tarot card ‘the Fool. The man in that Tarot card that I have has his hands on his face, all naked and had real messy hair, just like I had it back then yet all grey and of a rather old age. I would see that card as that moment when I realized that nothing of what I had believed myself to be was actually real, meaning this entire personality as the ‘tower’ that I had built of my personality to achieve some form of ‘success’ and that I had actually invested quite a bit upon in time, money and ‘effort’ had to be destroyed by myself. I name ‘the Tower’ because that was another card that I would see rather often at that time, and I asked myself what it would mean in terms of ‘losing my religion’ – yes, just like that R.E.M song lol – and how I later on realized that tower had to be demolished because I was never going to reach ‘god’ with it, I was mostly only inflating my ego, which had to be burst if I wanted to actually get Real and Live.
The ‘emotional breakdown’ that I experienced was mostly having to let go of my beliefs, my ideas, my over-detailed creation as the personality wherein every single thing that I would wear, say, do, have around me would have a meaning/ purpose/ a part of me/ a memory that I had decided to keep as myself. It was quite baffling when realizing I had to let go of all the value, time, effort, money placed in the creation of ‘myself.’ I remember I lied beneath the dining room’s table upon a rug, with my back on the floor and began painting on the back-side of the table’s wood like a ‘cosmic ascension scenario,’ quite a grounding experience, yet it was part of the tantrum I threw wherein I was almost ready to get rid of everything I had done and bought, lol I was quite a drama queen I’d say. But it also revealed to myself how much value/ worth I had placed on everything around me, to the extent of missing myself completely within that equation. I was also able to see how I was rather judgmental toward ‘materialist people’ regarding their wealth and properties as ‘their god’ while in fact, I was doing exactly the same thing.
After I started realizing that it wasn’t necessary for me to stop painting or stop absolutely living as I did, but only changing the starting point of everything I did, I saw how I could simply start looking at how I had created/ defined myself according to how I would carry myself through the world, what I would wear, how I would speak, what was the mindset I would have when interacting with specific people, what I had regarded of value/ worth, what I had defined as ugly/ disgusting/ nasty, what I had defined as dumb/ stupid/ and all the opposites to this, which is how I started debunking my own vocabulary in terms of having spoken about good vibes, positive energies, god/ creation, superstitions, good-will and everything else I mean, I’ll quote Lao Tzu
“when all the world knows goodness to be good, there is already evil”
That point debunked my then perception of the world in a subtle manner that I could only grasp much later on.
My self-religion was created in an attempt to become someone that could have an impact on this world within standing in what I deemed was ‘the good path,’ trying to leave a ‘good impression’ in people for the sake of being liked, being supported, being placed as someone ‘extraordinary.’ That’s probably why I wanted to become an ‘artist’ as this was the platform that I saw could support my inherent desires, yet at the same time, being able to create enough impact on people, while getting the regular dose of appraisal and glorification to keep the ego up to date.
We live in a world wherein individuals are meant to ‘shape their personality’ as part of the matrix-initiation of ‘life’ and ‘living,’ which is nothing else but establishing our own rules, paradigms, views/ perspectives on what we like, what we dislike, what we stand for, what we oppose, what we believe is so, what type of things we do, what we don’t like doing and all of this is endorsed by and within the system so that we stand as part of a certain population that will have similar treats and quirks on ‘how we live life,’ which makes of this world a quilt of types of people, each one being targeted by specific marketing mechanisms and everything essentially being linked to buying and selling life, ensuring the system is ‘kept alive’ by this competition of egos and imposition of beliefs as ‘the way’ to live and interact in this world. Eventually I became part of this specific type of personality within which I was able to establish relationships, ensuring that I would only stick to communicating with people that I saw as similar as myself, and deliberately neglecting and separating myself from the rest, as if they didn’t even exist.
Part of being walking with Desteni as a group is facing all these various prejudices toward myself within a particular frame of mind (lol, wrote ‘friend of mind’) that I had deemed as immovable, unwavering, unchanging as al the aspects of myself that would not allow me to unconditionally stand with particular ‘types of people’ only because of how they looked, what they seemed like, what they enjoyed, how they expressed themselves, etc. This has been actually an ongoing process of unconditionally being able to stand equal to a person and deliberately walk through situations and events without falling for the usual automated prejudices wherein I would immediately categorize and place in my ‘charts of values’ all people around me. I actually even thought that I was the only one having the ability to do this ‘right away,’ only to realize through participating in this process that we all did exactly the same thing! No specialness anywhere, we were truly all just living out the same shit.
It’s funny now to expose it, but at the moment it was almost ‘painful’ having to let go of my definitions and specifically, letting go of cherishing everything that I had almost classified and kept for the sake of maintaining this constant memoirs and reminders of ‘who I am’ and ‘why I am what I am,’ lol. When walking this process one perceives such points as an internal “Nooooo!” but it is only the mind screaming back at itself when seeing that a source of energy as the kicks we get from anything we define ourselves as, is no longer supported, no longer ‘fed’ so to speak within revisiting all of those points as sources of memory/ reminders of who I am, why I do what I do and what ‘drives’ my life, which was all in separation of myself.
At that time, I saw that having to let go of using 8 rings in my hands, letting go of using my beloved black eyeliner and nail polish, letting go of my hair at some point, letting go of my general treats like smoking or drinking and getting high, letting go of friends, letting go of my beliefs in a supernatural reality, letting go of the idea of myself that I had fed until that moment as being a ‘special person’ was actually ‘losing myself,’ when it was in fact the other way around. It was almost physically painful getting rid of all the quirks and presentation of myself. I did become like a robot for some time, yet it was part of this process of initially giving ‘death’ to who I was.
The more we limit ourselves, the more we cage ourselves in a particular mindset. The more we become introverted – and dare I say selfish in terms of not being able to look at other people’s worlds/ realities – the more we deny ourselves the ability to get to know someone from the starting point of realizing how everything that we’ve imposed as categories/ types of people toward one another, have only been part of the systems that have ensured that we remain secluded in a particular ‘group of people’ with similar views, with similar tastes, even similar socioeconomical status only apparently ‘evolving’ within that small view/perception and realm within this world.
“Earth is like a giant painting where we have neglected most parts and just focus on tiny portions of the painting and make only those spots look pretty – everything else gets ignored” –Andrew Gable
It’s fascinating that we believe ourselves to be ‘losing’ something when in fact, getting rid of such limitations is expanding, it is mingling in this reality as others and getting to see how it is that I can only consider myself as ‘different’ to another at a mind level. The essence of who we are is the same at a physical level, and it is then how through this process I’ve come to stop much of the judgment I held toward particular people, wanting ‘nothing to do’ with some others and still, I’m walking the process and reminding myself that I cannot judge another because I am judging myself, as simple as that.
My perspective on life, myself and others has had a major overhaul to be able to see how it is that whenever I see myself saying: ‘I would never do that’ – obviously in common-sense points, I am in fact defending my own credo wherein I am acting from a prefab version of ‘who/ what I am’ according to and based upon the knowledge and information that I’ve decided to “live” as myself in the past.
”Ego is a projected energy self based in polarities of good and bad, love and hate that is confused by the movement of the energy of the polarity and believes that it is the energy. When the energy ends, the ego ends and with it love and hate. This world , although physically dependent on energy, is not best served with an outside illusionary entity that pretends to be life” – Bernard Poolman
We can see how that outside illusionary entity that existed as myself as all of these polarities lying on the boldness of good/ evil, can in fact be stopped and not supported any longer by myself. The projection as the show that I was putting on as the character that I had become, had to have a major turn off so that I could start seeing what I had become, what was the motivation of every single thing that I said, why I said it, how I said it and so forth with everything I did, say, do, communicate about, etc. My ego as the self-created persona became almost ‘ unbearable’ for me to witness every time that I would speak almost in an automated way – which still does happen from time to time if I am not enough HERE as breath. At some point I would go into this sense of recrimination for having spoken just out of the automated version of myself as that ego, it’s like the memory that plays out automatically/ by default whenever I am not here as breath, it became very obvious to spot these situations because it almost feels ‘icky’ in the moment.
Thus the importance of focusing on breath as the actual energizing process that keeps our ‘power’ in place at a physical level, instead of giving all our focus and attention to ourselves as a personality, keeping up that entity that we’ve called ‘who we are’ and ‘how we live.’ As long as we are possessed by our own mind we haven’t in fact ever lived, we can only be existing here as breath as life in every moment when we are not existing in any ‘pole’ to create friction generating energy for the mind to keep running and going back and forth between poles.
What purpose does that mind serve? Nothing else but our own interest in separation of common sense = what’s best for all. That’s how living as an ego of the mind, as a certain personality is in fact living in dishonesty because within such frame of mind, we’re not considering what’s best for all, we’re not even aware of our full potential, because of existing in the mind as certain recurring thoughts, memories and patterns, having a limited version of ourselves to live by in every moment, just so that we’re able to ‘stick to our protocol,’ stick to what ‘suits our image.’ It’s like having a computer and having all of these full suites to work with – yet because we’ve become so used to only working with one single program, we stick to it because it’s ‘known,’ it’s become ‘comfortable’ with its own limitations. We then justify and create excuses to not go and explore the array of possibilities that are also existing here in our Operating System because that would imply stepping into the ‘unknown’ and getting out of our self-imposed bounds wherein we would think we’re ‘getting out of character.’
It’s like when being in a cage for too long, long enough to then get scared or freak out the moment that the door is open and we are able to simply walk out of it. It’s fascinating how the mind operates from this perspective, ensuring that we keep us limited as this personality just because of fear and in the name of survival, as that which becomes ‘reliable’ to live by, becomes our religion. If it works – even if it has its major flaws or absolute lack of common sense – we accept it as a fact and we make sure that we stick to it, otherwise it is like ‘disrespecting ourselves’ in some way. At least that’s how I would see it, even with petty examples like ‘not listening to this/ that type of music because it doesn’t suit my personality’ and within that, having limited myself from listening to various types of music at some point, just because of it not being in accordance to the entire mood-set that I had created for myself to live by every day for quite some time in my life.
Ludicrous, and I then dared to judge Christianity/ the catholic church so vehemently, never daring to see how I had created this self-religion and the ‘Marlen Church’ as the entire ritual that I created of my day to day living, how I would live every moment ensuring that I would stick to the image I CULTivated of myself, so that I could be able to kind of ‘be proud of myself’ and get a kick out of my creation as this ‘ego’ sticking out in the world.
Becoming self honest is the process of becoming aware of what is really here as the physical world. Self honesty is the opening of the eyes to really see reality and to identify what of reality requires change to what is best for all life. Bernard Poolman
I shifted my eyes to look at the physical reality that I was. I started getting rid of everything that I would put on, wear and mask myself with because I started seeing the deceptive starting point for everything I’d say, do, think… I cannot deny that I would feel like going crazy at times – yes I dubbed that by saying in a video ‘it’s weird at times’ but it was actually a process of seeing this self image just requiring to be demolished, so that I could finally step out of it while applying Self Forgiveness for the extensive fear of loss that I would experience when having to get rid of something, when having to let go of a self-definition that I had deemed as ‘positive’ within myself.
All love and hate aspects within me had to be self forgiven even when still having the perception that ‘I was right in disliking/ judging this/ that,’ all the perceived treats and advantages that I had, all the good and the bad had to be placed on the table to see and realize that if I am here to create myself, this will be done from scratch, having no particular holds on to something that I regard as ‘nice’ or ‘unable to let go of.’ Oh man, that ‘death’ is what we all have to take on as it is in fact the process of liberation from such ego that is then walked as the entire process of Self Honesty. I mean, I’m definitely not ‘done,’ it is an ongoing process that I am in at the point of self-creation wherein the moment that I let go of points, I have to now correct myself and make sure I fill in the gaps of such programming with self—supportive commandos so to speak. That’s then how we create not an ‘entity’ in separation of myself as a ‘better version’ or an ‘upgraded version,’ but as an actual being that is here in simplicity living in common sense, moving myself to create and establish what’s best for myself as what’s best for all.
This is the simplest way we can look at this process. I’ll add another point mentioned by Bernard as well: “Self Honesty is nor nice or beautiful” which is what got me to realize that facing myself, facing my religion was going to be a process wherein I would want to hide beneath that table again, yet only realizing that I could hide there for a limited amount of time until I realized that mindfucks are not able to be sustained that long until we start getting bored and fed up with our usual mind bs, which is actually how I discovered that expanding myself and letting go of this limitations, was the actual ‘freedom’ that I had sought and that I was eager to experience as myself.
Right now we realize that it doesn’t matter how ‘liberated’ one can get at an individual level, None is Free until ALL is Free and within this, we are here to establish a system that will enable ALL Beings to stand equal to the realization that I am sharing here as myself, as who and what we all can become when standing as Equals in a world where everyone is supported As LIFE, so that we can start living and exploring what actual Self Expression is in Equality.
The Fool is the beginning of Process – the Tower and Death is when we let go of this veneer as our ego – we then walk the process until we embrace the entire world as who we really are within standing as the principle that Life is: Equality and Oneness.
We’re already walking it, we are here and you can walk along as well if you see that this makes sense in terms of getting rid of all religions and self-religions to finally be vulnerable and ready to mingle with everyone else in Equality.

As being a pre-teen, Angela Basse saw her mother experience a difficult separation and afterward check out a payday lender
for help witha bad financial situation. Her mama possessed 3 kids to increase by herself.
вЂќ I became a element of the circle that is vicious of advance,вЂќ вЂќ stated Basse, presently the Organizer of YouthMinistries at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Religion.
вЂќ The wage advance loan had been actually actually attracting. During the brief minute, these people were really designed to look basic.вЂќ
And also to her mother that has been extended near to the point that is snapping also economically, loan places in okc appeared to be really the only exit, pointed out Basse.
вЂќ Our company missed down on book exhibitions in schools, industry trips at university, considering that our specialists didnвЂ™ t contain the earnings. Given that we knew that people had been actually paying out straight back loans,вЂќ вЂќ Basse reported.
She ended up being certainly one of manies thousand within the continuing state and in addition in the united states that have embeded a cycle of pay day loan where they don’t ever avoid debt because of highrate of interest as well as costs.
In Oklahoma, the current normal portion cost or even APR on payday advance loan can simply get as highas 390 per-cent. ThatвЂ™ s not really a flaw. It вЂ s 3 hundred along with ninety per cent.
VOICE- Voices Organized in Civic Involvement –- is just a diverse group of governmental and religious innovators which can be pressing for reform associated with advance that is payday legislations. They organized their concerns at a news seminar at the state Capitol building wednesday.
Many of their group of presenters referred to payday advances as вЂќ predacious. вЂќ And one Republican representative reported the loans вЂќ continue difficulty. вЂќ
Year specifically, the group wishes to lower the maximum permitted rates of interest, generate a linked data source of loans and also utilize that data bank to limit the amount of payday advance loan anybody may secure in one.
In accordance with VOCAL, those actions will definitely perhaps maybe not create Oklahoma extremely meticulous if not an outlier.
The group suggest 15 states which have forbidden advance that is payday, too as eight more that highly restrict the interest rates as well as wide range of loans enabled to people yearly.
Literature through the team cites a 2016 research that delivered $52 thousand in payday fees being charged in 2015 alone.
The team furthermore presents a 2012 BenchCharitable Trust investment research presenting that Oklahoma had been really the # 1 person of cashadvance proportionately.
And simply because that it’s sucha company that is lucrative eachyear lobbyists arrived at the Oklahoma Capitol looking for much more kicked back legislations on loan limitations along with quantity expenses payday finance institutions might charge.
The group introduced many suchbills which had resembled winding up legislation that is being the final legislative session in 2016.
This 12 months happens to be no exclusion.
VOICE announced during the news seminar which they had prepped to oppose SB112, a cost by Sen. Dan Newberry, R-Tulsa. It will probably put up an installation that is brand-new for no higher than a 12 months as much as $1,500. Loan providers will be enabled to bill 17 enthusiasm that is per-cent, whichwould certainly relate with 204 per-cent APR.
During the news seminar, David Blatt, Supervisor of Oklahoma Policy, a left-leaning think tank in Oklahoma, announced that they had paid attention to that Sen. Newburry would likely вЂќ maybe not go forward along withthe costs.вЂќ
However a check ofвЂ™the Senate вЂ s web web site on overdue Wednesday revealed the cost had been actually nevertheless in place and had been by way of a unique first in addition to 2nd analysis. It’s been really described the Business, company as well as Tourist Board.
вЂќ we place on вЂ t believe anyone in this particular condition or even this nation will before implicate me personally to be a liberal as well as a modern or anything that way. IвЂ™ m maybe not, вЂќ stated Rep. Kevin Calvey, R-Edmond. вЂќ we вЂ m a really conventional Republican –- actually market adapted.вЂќ
He stated that вЂќ from the point that is free-market ofвЂќ вЂќ payday loaningвЂќ is just a problem. вЂќ
вЂќ really, exactly exactly what our business are doing via federal government control is greasing the skids for those forms of loans.вЂќ
He pointed out that while free markets are a very good way to вЂќ split up The lord вЂ s bounty among people,вЂќ вЂќ not everything may work efficiently in a totally free market.
Calvey offered the example of there most certainly not becoming a market that is open in вЂќ tools piecesвЂќ вЂќ and sometimes even вЂќ narcotics, or strike guys. вЂќ
вЂќ Usurious prices of financing in payday loaning are in reality except the event folks that are helpful to their very own away from poverty,вЂќ вЂќ said Calvey.вЂќ It bolsters destitution. вЂќ
Calvey вЂ s HB1596 will build up a database that most creditors that are payday need certainly to submit their information into. If it resided in area, from then on the illness could handle just how cashadvances that are many may have.
Their cost would limit eachindividual to 90 times during the loans yearly.
He could be really opted withthroughRep. Mickey Dollens, D-Okla. Urban area, whoever HB1404 cost would likely confine the per cent filled on an online payday loan to 60 per-cent rather than the current cap of 390 %.
Dollens is obviously a past teacher that respected students whoever mothers and fathers had been caught as a result of advance pattern that is payday.
So when he had been campaigning set for their southedge chair this summertime, he had been really startled to listen to the quantity of people had been regarded in regards to the payday finance legislations when you look https://installmentloansindiana.org/ at the state along with the impact that they had regarding the unsatisfactory.
One of many ministers whom talked in the press meeting had been Rev. Dr. MitchRandall, pastor of Northhaven Churchin Norman.
Randall picked to explain payday loans okc throughout their discussion as вЂќ aggressive financing.вЂќ
Citing bothOld Testament in addition to brand New Testimony Christian scriptures, Randall created a predicament that payday funding is obviously вЂќ bothunfair and in addition wicked.вЂќ
He stated that payday finance вЂќ must ntensely be actually managed and even abolished all together.вЂќ
Being an adherent of Jesus, once we neglect to shield the insufficient originating from shylock swimming within our communities along with the halls of our Capitol building, from then on our group are a deep failing the insufficient. Our professionals will also be failing Jesus,вЂќ вЂќ reported Randall.

The 8 Online Dating Mistakes Men Make That Drive Women Away

Take Action: In Our Country
In 2021, the Food and Drug Administration announced its Closer to Zero action plan “to reduce exposure to arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury from foods eaten by babies and young children — to as low as possible.”
But their target date of April 2022 has come and gone, and FDA has still not followed through on the proposed action levels in the foods babies eat.
For every day that passes, nearly 10,000 more babies in the U.S. begin eating solid food. The FDA must take swift action to protect the next generation of children.


Exeter came from behind to overcome Bradford with an entertaining 3-2 win in Sky Bet League Two at St James Park.
The Grecians made a promising start to the game with Jack Sparkes seeing a header blocked on the line, but Bradford went in front after 17 minutes when they countered quickly.
Callum Cooke saw his shot blocked on the line and debutant Charles Vernam was free to tap in the rebound.
Exeter were struggling to test the Bradford goalkeeper, but they managed to draw level in the 42nd minute when Pierce Sweeney headed in at the back post from an in-swinging Sparkes corner.
Bradford went back in front just before half-time, though, when an awful mix-up in the Grecians defence saw Sparkes and goalkeeper Jokull Andresson leave the ball for each other and another Bantams debutant, Olly Crankshaw, nipped in to roll the ball into an empty net.
Bradford started the second half well with Cooke firing into the side netting, but Ryan Bowman pulled Exeter level on the hour mark with a close-range header from a pinpoint Robbie Willmott cross.
Exeter then won a penalty after 79 minutes when Bowman was taken out by goalkeeper Sam Hornby and Matt Jay rolled it down the middle to earn the Grecians the points.

Scientists Found A Way To Keep Skin Youthful; Anti Ageing & Scar Minimizing Discovery Key To Wrinkle Free Skin?
Scientists recently found a way to regenerate fatty cells in order to take away wrinkles. This is not only for anti-ageing it also can minimize scars.
According to a report, lack of adipocytes is one of the reasons why wrinkles stay on a person's skin. This new discovery can make a person wrinkle free and it also will include taking out of scars. The adipocytes are lost when scars are form or if a person ages.
The studies showed that hair follicles are the reasons to keep the skin scar-free. It also keeps the skin smooth by releasing a molecule that is called Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP). BMP can transform myofibroblasts, which are commonly found in healing wounds, to become adipocytes.
Scientists have finally found a way to manipulate healing of wounds so for the skin to regenerate. The chairman of the Department of Dermatology and Professor of Dermatology at Penn, Dr. George Cotsarelis, shares that the first thing to be done is to regenerate hair follicles first.
The fat will regenerate as a response to the signals from the hair follicles that are being regenerated. The hair and fat regenerate separately. However the regeneration of hair and fats are not happening independently. The hair follicles form first followed by the fats.
Meanwhile, it is reported that the new discovery can be a way to treat anti-ageing. This may even make a person wrinkle free. To move on to the research, Cotsarelis and his team will work on the mechanism for hair follicle regeneration next.
The U.C. Irvine Lab will also focus on examining other aspects on cell reprogramming in skin wounds. The research continues and as of this time the new study can be effective to take away scars and wrinkles. In the future, anti-ageing can be raised on to a whole new level.

The month of May ended on a good note here at Fordhollow, fine weather, a good County cricket result (Somerset winning having contrived to concede a 300 defecit to overcome in the fourth innings) and contrary to my earlier anxieties over House Martins returning, they are visiting every day and spending time in the nests.
Also we have a splendid display of blossom on our Wisteria. The trick is to get the autumn pruning done at the right time. Last year we pruned in October, and got the right degree of cutback. It is not the finest wisteria in the land, but it is old – we have seen a photo of the village school outing eating their pieces in front of the plant taken before the Great War.
If readers have the chance to see the bi-monthly free magazine LAMP, edited by Lionel Ward of Brendon Books in Taunton, which covers matters of Literature, Art and Musical Performance over much of Somerset, the June/July edition has a good article on finding writing ideas by Chella Ramanan, the founder and moving force of Writers Anon, the Taunton Writers Group. The same edition has published one of my short stories – The Cat On The Wall.
Thanks for the plug. I haven’t read your story yet, but did pick up a copy. I’ll take in to writing this week.

USI concludes the year with victory
Screaming Eagles miss post-season on tiebreaker
Southern Indiana 81, Missouri-St. Louis 62
– University of Southern Indiana senior forward Norman Plummer
(Cincinnati, Ohio) celebrated Senior Day with his 13th double-double of the year in leading the Screaming Eagles to an 81-62 victory over the University of Missouri-St. Louis Saturday afternoon at the Physical Activities Center. USI concludes the 2007-08 campaign with a 15-12 overall record and a 9-10 mark in the GLVC, while UMSL finishes the year 10-17 overall, 5-14 GLVC.
Saturday's victory, however, was not enough to earn the Eagles a berth in the GLVC Tournament. Quincy University clinched the final spot in the tournament with an 84-72 victory over seventh-ranked Drury University. The Hawks had the tie-breaker over the Eagles by sweeping the season series from USI.
This is the first time the Eagles have not advanced to the conference tournament.
Plummer was an iron man for USI on Saturday, doing everything in his power to not let the clock strike midnight on the Eagles. The senior forward had his fifth straight double-double, 14 points and 11 rebounds, by half time. He finished the game with game-high 22 points and 15 rebounds, playing 37 of the 40 minutes.
Following Plummer in the scoring column was junior forward Anthony Pimble
(Bronx, New York) with 17 points, while sophomore guard Darren Cloud
(Evansville, Indiana) and senior guard Tyson Schnitker
(Robinson, Illinois) finished the game with 16 points and 13 points, respectively. Schnitker, who along with Plummer was honored prior to the game, and Pimble tied the for a game-high with five assists.
During the first half, the Tritons had an early eight point advantage, 18-10. The Eagles erased the deficit and took control game on a 17-0 run, posting a 48-35 lead at the intermission.
USI would see its margin shrink to nine, 61-52, with 10:59 left, but a 13-2 run put the game out of reach, 74-54, with 4:46 to play. The Eagles' lead would reach 23 points, 77-56, before settling for the 81-62 final.

In this week’s episode of “You Should Know,” Billboard sat down with YouTube star-turned-singer/producer Joji to learn more about him, including what the inspiration behind his debut album was, who would play him in a movie and which animal he could see himself as.
Joji (real name George Miller) grew up in Japan and began making music when he was in sixth grade. “’A Milli’ by Lil Wayne came out, and I thought that beat was so cool and so game-changing,” Joji tells Billboard. “I went home and I opened up GarageBand and I recorded myself…I just remade the beat, and since then, I just kept going at it.”
Asked to describe what motivated his record Ballads 1, Joji says, “The inspiration…is just expressing uncertainty and either changing, or you changing, or the other person changing, and how people react to that. And just in general, it's just a bunch of ballads packed into one thing, and I think that's cool.”

I am trying to design labels that are unobtrusive, with with text on a largly black background. These are for electronic equipment and cables electrical-compliance test certificates.
When printed these come out with broken incomplete blacks towards the end of the label. Also smallish white text is poor overall, and worse towards the end.
All of this is set on minimum print speed. Is there anything else I can do to improve the quality, or is this in fact some basic limitation of the pinter ?

The late Whitney Houston is part of a documentary film, "Voices of Love: Whitney Houston and Family", which will kick-off the second annual American Documentary Film Festival and Film Fund (AmDocs) on April 4 at Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs.
More than 100 films will be featuring during the four-day event, April 4-8, presented by the Palm Springs Cultural Center. They will split between two venues, Camelot Theatres, 2300 E. Baristo Road, and Cinemark Century Theatres at The River, 71800 Highway 111, in Rancho Mirage.
“We’ve expanded our program quite a bit this year,” said Festival Director Ted Grouya. "The fact that we’ve been able to expand so quickly is a testament to the success we had with last year’s festival. People love documentaries!”
Opening Night begins at 5:30 p.m. with a gala reception at Camelot Theatres. Immediately following the reception, AmDocs will screen the documentary featuring Houston and Warwick. "Voices of Love" provides an inside look at one of America's most musically influential families – the Drinkards – whose popular gospel group, The Drinkard Singers, included Whitney’s mother, Cissy Houston, and Lee Warwick, the mother of Dionne.
The film traces the history of song in this talent-infused family and celebrates their spirit, their strength of family, and the power of gospel music to heal, to transcend, and to entertain. While most of the Drinkard family stayed with their gospel roots, their musical tradition paved the way for Warwick, Cissy Houston, and Whitney Houston, and encouraged them to branch out into popular music. The film is filled with powerful musical performances by Cissy Houston, Whitney Houston and Dionne Warwick, never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews with, and performances by, members of Whitney’s family, as well as interviews with Natalie Cole, and Aretha Franklin.
Immediately following the screening, Dionne Warwick, who will attend the event, will take the stage and participate in a brief Q&A.


In December, Temple Terrace Patch told the community about the .
Through the grassroots effort, the magazine is naming America’s Most Interesting Town. Winning communities will receive up to $1,000 for community improvement projects.
“There is a desire among people to take matters into our own hands and start working together to fix America,” said Dan Lagani, president of Reader’s Digest North America.
When the contest began, Temple Terrace wasn’t its own location. So, we asked Reader’s Digest to add it and they did!
There are nine days left until the ultimate winner is named. To put Temple Terrace in the running for a prize, all you have to do is log in to the website and vote. Community members can also post photos and stories about what makes Temple Terrace special, and what types of improvements it would benefit from. There are currently no stories or photos about Temple Terrace.
For 11 weeks, Reader’s Digest has also been naming a weekly popular vote winner. There’s only one more week for Temple Terrace to win the popular vote. Towns that win the popular vote are featured on the Reader’s Digest website and in an upcoming issue of Reader’s Digest.
The Week 11 winner was Cumberland, VA, which borders Powhatan, the place where I was born and raised. I can tell you that Temple Terrace is just as interesting as Cumberland, if not more.
Through May 31, you can share why you think Temple Terrace is so special. The author of the winning story will receive a cash prize of $1,000, and their town will be featured on the cover of an upcoming issue of Reader’s Digest magazine.
According to a press release, some of the stories Americans have shared so far include:
- Descriptions and photos of the most scenic spots in town.
- Famous historical figures from the area.
- The people, places and local businesses that make their town one-of-a-kind.
“This is an opportunity for individuals to shine and possibly bring national attention to their hometowns,” said Kristin Yuzuik, program representative.

Srinagar: Indian author and columnist Prem Shankar Jha, who has written extensively on Kashmir and has been rallying for a PDP-led government in the state, Saturday said India “mishandled and misunderstood Kashmir” due to its post- partition experiences.
Speaking at a literary festival here , Jha also said that Pakistan wanted good relations with India because “they have to counter internal problems.”
“Pakistan won’t be comfortable without the Hurriyat. However, it is not the only party that should be included in dialogue,” he said.
Consistent with the statist stand on Kashmir, Jha said Kashmir “is a jewel in crown of India”.
“Not just because it lies above India’s map but also because we value it,” he said.
Jha said division between Kashmir and Jammu was more evident than ever before and Kashmir cannot be saffronised by any means.

The University “strongly recommends” GW community members wear N95 and KN95 masks in all indoor campus locations.
The testing center will move from the Colonial Health Center to the group fitness rooms in the Lerner Health and Wellness Center Monday.
Students who were away during winter break must quarantine once they return to residence halls, which will open on Jan. 8.
Officials will move up the deadline for GW community members to receive a COVID-19 booster shot to Jan. 10 instead of Feb. 1, three weeks earlier than the initial deadline.
Bowser also declared a state of emergency Monday and announced an expansion of the District’s COVID-19 testing programs.
Officials said they want to emphasize that campus is “open and operating” after canceling social gatherings and moving finals online.
Officials are working on restoration plans following a cybersecurity incident affecting the employee time reporting system last week.
Officials said the presence of the variant will not alter the current public health measures in place to protect campus health.
Officials said students who do not receive the booster before Feb. 1 will have to get tested for COVID-19 weekly but cannot register for future semesters.
DC Health confirmed the first individuals with Omicron in the District, all of whom were fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

The U.S. Supreme Court voted Tuesday to put on hold new federal regulations to curb carbon dioxide emissions, mainly from coal-fired
power plants, until a legal challenge by more than two dozen states and interest groups is complete. It is the first time the Supreme Court has granted a request to halt a regulation before its review by a federal appeals court. The 5-4 vote along ideological lines is a blow to the centerpiece of the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan, its strategy to combat climate change. Those challenging the regulations claim the new rules, which are to be enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency, would have a devastating economic impact. The White House says it expects the regulations to survive legal challenges. The plan, designed to lower carbon emissions from U.S. power plants to 32 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, is the main tool for the U.S. to meet CO2 reduction targets pledged at the December climate talks in Paris.

Keane On Everton & Spurs For Gray?
It was being reported over the weekend that Everton were braced to move for centre half Michael Keane this summer, and that Tottenham Hotspur would be after Andre Gray come the end of the season.
The Mirror (yes I know) reported that as part of the agreement bringing Steve Walsh to the club from Leicester, we had promised not to target any of his targets that were built up at Leicester for 12 months.
That deal expires come the summer and they suggest Everton are now confident of snaring £25million rated Keane from us. They say further that Everton are the only club to register an interest in the newly England capped 24 year old but this just seems a stretch on every direction.
I very much doubt with the way agents work Everton are the only side with tentative feelers out there.
The same outlet also suggest that Tottenham will be looking to offload Vincent Janssen this summer, and the ready made replacement will be Gray.
With 12 months left on his deal at Turf Moor, Gray has obviously found himself admirers this year and more than anything that seems to be the basis for the renewed nonsense this time round.

71 year old female new to this site.
Recently two of my doctors have heard something in my heart. Both mentioned possible heart murmur. Had echocardiogram and going for results this Monday. I am also a lung cancer survivor and had a CT to check radiation therapy I had last August. Have AFIB, had abdominal aorta bypass surgery years ago, stent was added in 2011. So not new to health issues. My question is what is the impact of having a heart murmur?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi Saturday ripped President Donald Trump as the "deflector-in-chief" and called for an independent investigation of his accusations that his campaign was wire-tapped by the Obama administration.
The California Democrat took to Twitter:
Trump unleashed a Twitter storm earlier Saturday that former President Barack Obama tapped his telephone at Trump Tower in New York as part an investigation into whether his campaign was communicating with the Russian government.
The tweets come after news reports this week that Attorney General Jeff Sessions met twice with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak twice last year while representing Alabama in the Senate.
Sessions on Thursday recused himself of any possible investigation of the Trump campaign's involvement with Russia.
President Trump has repeatedly denied having any personal dealings with Moscow, while his aides have rejected or played down any reports of contact with Russian officials.

I went out to the mesas to gather stones to revive a ceremony I created years ago. Beginning on New Moon, the first stone is set in place for the making of a spiral. Day by day, stone by stone, shift by shift in the moon’s dance with the earth, the spiral comes into form. When the lunar cycle completes, the spiral is dismantled. We begin again with New Moon.
Harmony and balance are ready and waiting to be found in the natural markers of time and the currents that exist beyond the bounds of calendars and clocks.
Walking through Sagebrush and Piñon Pines on my quest for the ceremonial stones, my attention was captured by the image of an animal. I knelt down in the desert soil and leaned in to have a closer look. I could hardly believe my eyes. There was a bear in the center of a stone.
How had the stone come into form in this magical way? How and why did our paths cross at this particular moment in this particular place? Asking permission for the gathering, I gave an offering of tobacco to share my gratitude and warmly welcome the gifts.
Cradling the stone in the palm of my hand, I felt the warmth from the sun and the sandy, weathered texture. The shape began to find it’s way into my awareness. The stone itself was a bear. There was a bear within a bear, each facing a different direction.
The story living in the stone came alive. The bear held in the center is gestating, readying for the birthing. The bear embodying the whole of the stone offers an inner sanctuary, a sacred space, which holds, protects, and nourishes the one to be birthed. The stone’s medicine, the naming, became clear.
We’ve been together now ~ Birthing Stone, Moon Spiral, and me ~ through the passages of a couple lunar cycles. Lily often joins me by my altar where the birthing stone is sitting and the moon spiral is being made. After giving the emerging spiral a close-up inspection, Lily curls up on top of the stones. In her distinctive feline ways, Lily (aka Star Girl) has shown me that she is a ceremonial cat. Her connections with the spirits, earth, and cosmos are mysterious and vast.
The spiral-making ceremony in rhythm with the moon offers an invitation to slow down, settle in, and connect. Paying attention and giving reverence to incremental shifts deepens relationship with the momentum of changes taking place, with beginnings and endings and all the in-betweens.
The bears and the birthing stone hold questions for my searchings and guidance for my path. What is gestating and readying to be birthed? What nourishing sacred spaces are essential for the now, for the seasons and cycles and generations to come? What needs to die away, to be released and left behind, so that precious birthings, healing, and growth can occur?
The awakening of our human hearts, our balance and belonging, are ignited by the remembering of the interweaving of birth and death. We have a part in these vital currents of transformation and change, weaving and unweaving and weaving anew. Stone by stone, minute by minute, step by step, we give offerings to the spiral dance with life.
