Over a decade ago I heard a teaching series titled “Pulling the Plug on Fear.” I listened to the series several times to get the message drilled deep down into me. I have practiced the Biblical precepts of that teaching on fear for so long it has become my primary nature in life to simply give no place to fear. Fear is no longer a factor for consideration in any matter of my life.
The command to “Fear Not” (in its varying forms) is recorded in scripture perhaps more often than any other. It’s as clear as “thou shalt not steal,” or “thou shalt not kill.” Therefore, fear is as clearly sin (i.e., error, or missing the mark) as to lie or commit adultery as it deviates from our maker’s design for us.
Not only is fear a clear violation of a direct command of our king and the laws of his kingdom, but it’s one of the most spiritually dangerous activities we can engage in. Fear is a chief tactic of Satan that he uses to bring people into bondage and subject them to torment (Romans 8:15, Hebrews 2:15, 1 John 4:18). Faith and fear are direct spiritual opposites that are mutually exclusive. Fear negates faith. Therefore, yielding to fear renders the lives of born-again believers spiritually ineffective. Any Christian endeavor impregnated with fear will be stillborn.
Fear is belief in the power of evil to harm us and expectation of its doing so. Faith is belief in the power and promises of God to deliver us from evil and expectation of His doing so.
Thanks to that teaching about pulling the plug on fear, and decades of practicing it, the thought of fearing coronavirus hasn’t even been a consideration for me. That’s not boasting. That’s a testimony as to the effect of a lifestyle of practicing what God says.
However, as I was driving down the street one day, a few weeks after the onset of full-blown coronavirus panic pandemic, it occurred to me that simply not fearing is defensive in nature. I found myself questioning whether there was an offensive course of action that I should also be taking.
After hitting the fast-food drive-through window for a breakfast burrito, and the gas station for a cup of coffee (the gas station has stronger coffee), I began to endeavor to describe to God what I thought would be a long and complex question and prayer project of asking what proactive, offensive measures to take. However, before I could finish framing the question, the Lord interrupted me with Psalm 91 playing in my head. I’ve become so perceptive of the Holy Spirit’s leading, and quick to respond, that He only had to interrupt my prayer two or three times before I caught on and realized He was giving me the answer.
Praying Psalm 91 is the offensive measure to take against coronavirus and the fear it’s engendering. For that matter, it’s an effective weapon to use on any pandemic or general calamity coming on the world around us. Of course, any and every promise of God’s word can be used as an offensive weapon as per Ephesians 6:17 which calls the word of God, “the sword of the Spirit.” But for the present matter, the Lord directed me to Psalm 91.
When Jairus received the news that his daughter was dead, Jesus told him to “Fear not: believe only” (Luke 8:50). In every peril of life, the goal is to first avert the impending disaster, then overcome it and achieve victory. God is telling us that the way to not be destroyed, but to overcome, is to first say “No” to fear (“fear not”) and its expectation of evil, then say “Yes” to faith (“believe only”) and its expectation of good through God and the promises of His word.
So, we’re not just looking for ways to not fear, but also to activate faith as our offensive weapon. Being a collection of some of the most potent promises of God’s deliverance, Psalm 91 fits that bill. Let’s do a close reading of the text and consider its conditions and provisions.
Psalm 91 (KJV)
1 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
- Notice that this psalm, from the first verse, is about one who “dwells” (“to live as a resident”) in the secret place of the Most High. The provisions of deliverance in the following passages are not for the drive-by Christian who gives the occasional nod-to-God. These provisions are the heritage of those who make the secret place of the Most High their permanent address.
- The “secret place” is an intimate place of personal fellowship, like when a bride locks herself away in her husband’s private chamber, closes herself off to the outside world, and gives herself completely to the one to whom she belongs in a relationship that is secluded from, or a secret to, the outside world. For the believer, this is a spiritual place of worshipful devotion to our Lord and reliance by faith upon his every promise of supernatural protection and provision.
- To “abide under the shadow” of the Almighty means remaining so close that His shadow is continually cast over us. While a parent may love all their children equally, the child who stays close enough to be under the parent’s shadow is more likely to experience consistent rescue from trouble than the one who keeps wandering off down the block, around the corner, and out onto the highway.
2 “I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”
- The protections of this Psalm are not for the haphazard or timid believer just waiting around to see what God might do. These provisions are for the determined believer of bold faith who exercises their will to audibly proclaim the LORD as their refuge and fortress. Will is exercised here both to trust and to speak according to that trust.
- There is a lot of imagery at work in this Psalm, and in the word of God in general. These images correlate to spirit realm realities, things that really exist in the spirit realm and for which there are natural realm equivalents that correspond. So, ponder the imagery and picture yourself inside the spirit realm places of refuge and protection that God is providing to you. The spirit realm is the master realm and as we, by faith, take our place inside the spirit realm provisions afforded us in Christ, the natural realm has to comply and act accordingly as faith gives substance to the things confidently expected through the promises of God’s word (Hebrews 11:1).
3 “Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.”
- “Surely” and “shall” – a double absolute positive. There are no two ways about it.
- A bird is meant to fly aloft, not be bound down to the earth. Satan, the fowler, seeks to snare us in traps that bind us down to the earth, to the natural realm, and to those things that mere mortal flesh can do. God wants to deliver us from those snares, loose us to reach up to heaven, and take hold of the powers of heaven and the things that only He can do.
- Some translations replace the rather archaic “noisome pestilence” with “deadly disease.”
4 “He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”
- This again speaks to the closeness of our walk with the Lord. We trust in Him from a position of being so close that He need only stretch out his wings and we will be covered.
- The New Living Translation renders the latter part of this verse “His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” One thing about armor is you have to put it on for it to do any good. We have to wear the armor of God’s promises by faith every day, not just go look for our armor out in the garage when we’re in trouble.
5 “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.”
- This is not only an authorization to go free from fear, but it is a command to not be afraid. Claiming the Lord as our refuge and fortress (verse 2) won’t do much good if we let ourselves get frightened by the enemy’s arrows, break cover and run for it, thus leaving our place of protection.
7 “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
- Not only do we not have to be among those who fall, but we can dwell so deep inside that secret place of trust and protection of the Most High that the arrows of the enemy don’t even set off our proximity sensors. Only our eyes will see what’s going on in the outside world, but none of the other physical senses experience “the reward of the wicked.”
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.”
- Once again, the provision of no evil befalling us in verse 10 is conditioned on verse 9 and our willful choice to “make” the LORD our “habitation,” or place of habitual dwelling.
11 “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.”
- Verses 11 through 13 are quite exciting, but once again there’s a condition. Verse 14 tells us that this deliverance is happening “Because” we’ve set our love on the Lord. Love is more than an emotion. Love is the value we place on a person or thing and this kind of love begins at the point of valuing and treasuring the Lord to the point of full devotion and faithful allegiance to Him above all else (think pearl of great price, Matthew 13:46).
- The latter half of verse 14 tells us that it is God’s will to set us on high, not leaving us down in the dumps. However, it will happen “because” we have “known His name.” This isn’t about being able to spell the word “God,” but about intimate, personal, knowing, and experiencing of His character, nature, virtue, integrity, honor, goodness, and glory, all of which are in His name (a name identifies a person and all that they are). You cannot fully “know His name” and have room for anything but full faith and devotion.
15 “He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.”
- There is no promise of avoiding times of trouble (verse 15), but we are assured that the Lord will be with us in the midst of whatever trouble comes and that He won’t leave us there, but will deliver us out of it, and not just barely, but with a deliverance that bestows honor upon us and saves us with a tangible salvation (verse 16).
While it’s appropriate to rejoice over the wonderful provisions promised in this psalm, and of course, to let those promises stir our faith, the real power, and key, is in living the Psalm 91 lifestyle – a lifestyle of setting our love upon the Lord and giving Him our full allegiance, seeking and abiding in His presence in the secret place, letting the knowledge of His name bring faith alive until we shout aloud in the face of every circumstance “the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”
Fear is Here
There is a cure for the coronavirus itself, and that cure is found in faith in God, His power, and His promises to save, deliver, and heal.
However, the greatest threat facing America, the church, and believers individually is not the virus but the fear surrounding it. Panic purchasing, toilet paper shortages, quarantining people who aren’t even sick, closing businesses, closing churches, and closing economies – all of these are the product of fear, not faith.
Americans have almost uniformly acquiesced to the forfeiture of God-given rights and fundamental liberties once held inviolable. The church has curtailed worship and the assembling of ourselves together. The pursuit of happiness through meaningful employment and productivity was snatched away from millions overnight. Faith doesn’t motivate people to forfeit liberty, but fear does bring into bondage.
I used to wonder how an antichrist figure could ever get people to submit to his rule and accept his mark. But as I watch people’s reactions, including those of many professing Christians, to a virus now rebranded a pandemic, and as Bill Gates proposes global vaccination and digital branding of the world’s population to prove who’s safe to be let out of their house, I can see how Satan’s tool of fear could be used to bring the whole planet under bondage.
America, and most of the church, are acting like the report of the six o’clock news is more real than the word of God. If that’s not so, then why aren’t we out there boldly living like Psalm 91 is true and the arrows of virus flying around us are of no consequence to us because the Lord is our refuge and fortress?
Bondage begins where expectation in the power of evil to harm us outweighs trust in the faithfulness of God to deliver us.
America and the church are showing more symptoms of the spiritually deadly disease of fear than that of a mere virus. But there is a cure.
The Cure for the Fear
The cure for the pandemic of fear is to silence the voices feeding it, then, feed and activate faith until it flushes out the fear and there’s no place left for it.
Romans 10:17 tells us that “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Not surprisingly, fear comes the same way, by hearing, and by hearing how big and bad the dreaded evil is that’s going to huff, and puff, and blow your house down.
Luke 21:26 tells us that men’s hearts can fail them for fear and for “looking after those things which are coming on the earth.” But Isaiah 26:3 tells us that the Lord will “keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee.”
What we hear, or look after, or keep our minds stayed on absolutely does matter and it determines whether our heart, our inner man, will conceive faith or fear; will trust in God to deliver us or believe in the power of evil to harm us: will crumble under the weight of fear for things coming on the world around us or be kept in perfect peace.
If we’re serious about following Jesus’ admonition to “Fear not: believe only,” thereby both averting the peril confronting us by not fearing it, then obtaining God’s deliverance and victory over the peril by only believing His report, we will need to be extremely vigilant in guarding ourselves against voices that feed fear.
I’m not necessarily saying the six o’clock news or anyone else is purposely trying to make us afraid, but I am saying that their all pandemic all the time coverage is inundating our senses with awareness of the illness and its power to harm us. Simply hearing the word “coronavirus,” or “COVID-19,” or seeing that super-magnified image of a virus on our TV screen that looks like it’s six feet tall and it’s coming after us – all of that feeds fear, even if only subtly. It’s like dropping one grain of sand at a time into a pipe until eventually your whole faith pipe is clogged with fear and you wonder why you’re having trouble trusting God.
I mean really, how often do you need to be told about a virus to know what it is, how it’s spread, and why you shouldn’t walk around Walmart kissing strangers on the mouth? Everything beyond that basic knowledge is just reinforcing and feeding fear.
If I were you, I would do what I did over a decade ago – put down the newspaper (did that in the 90s), turn off the TV news (secular humanist worldview and feeding fear), tune out the talk radio (political fear-mongering), and be very selective about what little social media you allow yourself to look at while staying in touch with friends (most of whom are caught up in fear).
We already know from God’s word that the Coronavirus is not going to kill everyone and that there will still be people here when Jesus returns. We also know that until Jesus returns there will continue to be plagues, wars, calamities, and everything else the six o’clock news has ever told us to fear. And there will always be another election around the corner at which time your favorite party’s political pundits will be telling you to fear the other party as though if they get in, “we’ll all die,” but we haven’t, and we won’t, and if we do, I’d rather die trusting God than cowering in a corner paralyzed with fear.
If we don’t begin to practice the Psalm 91 lifestyle now and continue in it until the next calamity that comes on the world around us, then we’ll be caught unprepared once again and taken in the grip of fear and its torment that will drive us to even greater bondage in the future.
So, if you haven’t already done so, commit to living a Psalm 91 lifestyle now, pursuing adherence to its conditions and faith for all its provisions.
Then, turn off the TV, silence the voices of fear, pick up a Bible and feed your faith with the word until God starts to look bigger than the problem. Then, pray Psalm 91 as an aggressive offensive attack against Satan and his tactic of fear, and do it all like your life depends on it – because it does.
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
For those not acquainted with the idea of personalizing and praying a passage of scripture, here’s a sample for praying Psalm 91. God doesn’t intend His word to be a one-way conversation. He intends for us to believe His words, receive them as being for us in Christ, apply them to ourselves and our situations, then speak them back to Him in prayer and faith, believing His word will not return to Him void but will accomplish what He pleases and prosper in what He sent it to do (Isaiah 55:11).
Psalm 91 Prayer
(Based mostly on NKJV)
1 I dwell in the secret place of the Most High by faith and I Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of you LORD, you are my refuge, you are my fortress, you are My God and in you, I will trust.
3 Surely, You shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler And from the deadly disease. (NLT)
4 You shall cover me with your feathers, And under Your wings, I shall take refuge; Your faithful promises are my armor and protection. (NLT)
5 As a soldier in your army oh Lord, I choose to obey your direct command to “Fear Not,” therefore, I shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at my side, And ten thousand at my right hand; But it shall not come near me.
8 Only with my eyes shall I look, And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because I have made you oh LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, my dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall me, Nor shall any plague come near my dwelling;
11 For You shall give Your angels charge over me, To keep me in all my ways of obedience and service to You. (AMP)
12 In their hands, they shall bear me up, Lest I so much as dash my foot against a stone.
13 I shall tread upon the lion and the cobra at your command, The young lion and the serpent I shall trample underfoot.
14 Because I have set my love, all value, treasuring, and full allegiance upon you oh Lord, therefore You will deliver me; You will set me on high because I have known and trusted in the honor and integrity of Your name.
15 I shall call upon you, and you will answer me; You will be with me in trouble; You will deliver me and honor me.
16 With long life you will satisfy me, and show me all of Your wonderful, marvelous, glorious salvation.

Just shy of 2 months later and other than Cynthia linking this to her site there is not one response so here mine is. Your piece above Robert is awesome ! Are you able to determine how many have read it ? At a few months shy of 65 years of age and 45 years into my walk with the Lord and our Savior, I have heeded His command to “fear not”. He is ultimately in control and giving an opportunity to all to recognize and acknowledge their need for Christ’s work before we are ushered into eternity. Thank you again Robert for the time and integrity and well written thoughts which you posted above and in all your posts. May God bless and bring forth fruit from your ongoing efforts in this temporal realm

I really don’t know how many people read my articles. I know I send them to an email list of around 300, but we know not everyone opens and reads their email.

DIY Kids Snack Ideas
Fruit Roll Ups:
2 1/2 – 3 cups ripe or slightly over-ripe raspberries
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Honey to taste
Preheat oven to lowest temperature. 140° or higher. Puree all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Pour onto a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap, or a silicone baking mat (don’t use foil, parchment, or waxed paper), and spread to 1/8″ thick. Place in oven and bake for 6-8 hours, until center is not tacky anymore.
8 ounces, weight Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
4 Tablespoons Butter, Cut Into Cubes
1 cup Flour
¾ teaspoons Salt
2 Tablespoons Cold Water
1. Pulse everything (except water) together in the food processor until the dough resembles coarse sand.
2. Pulse in water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
3. Remove dough from the processor, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20 minutes.
4. Roll out the dough and cut into desired shapes. You can use a toothpick to make the eyes and smile if desired. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes, or until crispy.
6. Makes approximately 7 dozen crackers.
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice or fresh orange juice (if you don’t like sour go with orange, but I definitely prefer the lemon!)
2/3 cup frozen or fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries are all great.)
1 – 2 Tbs honey
5 Tbs gelatin (from grass fed cows… like this)
1. Pour juice and berries into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until berries become tender and begin to soften.
2. Add honey and stir until completely incorporated. You will want the fruit to dissolve quite a bit until you have a compote.
3. Turn the heat off, and quickly whisk in gelatin one tablespoon at a time. Whisk vigorously until completely incorporated, mixing the gelatin in very gradually to avoid lumps.
4. Puree mixture using a immersion blender or small blender (my magic bullet works great for this! Just be sure to cool slightly before moving over.)
5. Pour into a 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 glass dish. Refrigerate until set (30 minutes to an hour). Cut in small squares. (You could also use some cute molds like this and create awesome shapes. I’m not awesome like that… but you could be!)

In present days new neutron detection methods are under developed due to the global shortage of 3He and the toxicity of BF3. Neutrons can be indirectly detected by high-energy photons. The performance of a cylindrical NaI crystal, 4 in. diameter and 8 in. length as an indirect neutron detector has been investigated. Measurements were performed with 252Cf source with bare and shielded NaI detector. With a proper converter and moderator structure for the NaI detector, the detection efficiencies and the minimum detectable activities are improved, making the method very interesting for security applications. The indirect detection of neutrons by photons has several advantages. First, this method can in principle be suited by any gamma spectrometer with only slight modifications that do not compromise with its gamma spectrometry measurements. Second, fission neutron sources and neutron generators can be discriminated thanks to their different gamma energy spectra, a discrimination easily done by a NaI spectrometer.

Jeanine Lilou Used Car, 2021-03-12 07:16:06. 2). What is the maintenance history of your car? Ask the current vehicle owner to show you records of oil changes, routine maintenance as well as the mechanical work that might reveal a whiff of a problem. 3). Why are you selling this motor vehicle? Do not rely on the seller’s honesty but on your own instincts with this one. If the existing owner cannot give you a plausible explanation, that can be a indication that he may be trying to pass off a lemon. If you odor a rat, move on. 4). Is this car is still under warranty? Just as when you are shopping for a fresh jug of milk, you’ll want to pick the car that has the most time left previous to the expiration date – on the warranty that is. If the warranty won’t transfer, or if it is previously expired, consider asking the seller to cut the price by what it would price to buy an extended warranty. After that you can decide whether to purchase the extended warranty or else bank the money for possible repairs.
Leonie Céline Used Car, 2021-01-03 01:00:00. Fluid leaks – Many people might overlook a small drop of oil or some other fluid here and there, but these are sure signs of potential future problems that will need to be addressed. A car that is running like it was designed to should not be leaking anything.
Joanne Cassandra Used Car, 2021-06-22 00:00:00. Many cities have a location where they have used cars for sale, frequently through government auctions. Some of these cars have been repossessed, some have been confiscated by the police, some have been abandoned, who knows. The government has assumed clear title on these cars, and about once a month, or depending on how quickly their lot fills up, they will place these vehicles up for sale. If you are a person who does not have much wisdom about cars, it would be prudent to check around among your friends/relatives to find someone who could go with you to the sale. In many cases, the day before the sale, the yard will be open for a couple of hours, and then the day of the sale, open early, so that you can walk through the cars and check out cars that might interest you. Once the bidding starts, they will pull a car up to the staging area and take bids. If you are the winning bidder, you must be able to pay a certain percentage down right then. This depends on the sale. (You will want to get the information ahead of time). Usually they will give you a day or so to come up with the rest of the money. They do not provide financing there. Good luck in searching for a car.
Jeanetta Liv Used Car, 2021-06-16 00:00:00. The days of spending hour after hour for days walking through car lots are all but gone. The modern car purchaser has many tools at his disposal. The chief tool is the internet. People can now watch videos to see reviews of cars from real owners and in some cases, they can see videos of the cars they are considering purchasing. The most popular use of the internet, however, is looking for cars for sale online. There are millions of searches monthly for cars for sale and specifically for no reserve cars. A no reserve auction means that the lowest current bid for the item wins. There is no reserve price that a bidder must bid above. People are looking for car auctions with no reserve pricing for two reasons. First, they are trying to get the best deal possible. If nobody else enters a bid, and the auction was listed for a very low initial bid, they can get great deals for potentially thousands below the value of a car. The other reason people look at no reserve car auctions is to establish a comparison price with other cars. They know that they shouldn’t just assume that a car has a great price because it is in a no reserve auction, but they can compare it to other cars for the best deal possible. It would be easy to assume that only private sellers are selling their cars online, but dealers are selling new and used cars online. Some of these dealers go the extra mile for the internet sale. For the modern car buyer, looking for best pricing on autos or looking for antique, classic, or exotic cars that are difficult to find locally, online auctions are a powerful tool.
Iva Laïna Used Car, 2021-06-21 00:00:00. Everyone loves the new car smell, but is it worth paying thousands for? Buying a used car as an alternative of buying a new car can be a smart move, saving you as much as 30 percent off the sticker price. But once you have decided to forgo the odor of fresh carpet, paint and engine oil, you have to make sure nothing smells fishy about the used car you are considering. Inquire these seven questions first, and then purchase a can of new car scent online just for $13.99. 1). What is Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)? With the help of car’s vehicle identification number, or VIN, you can order up a motor vehicle history report from several companies, including CARFAX.com. You can also find out if there is anything really rotten about the car: if the odometer has been rolled back, or if it has a ”salvage title” as an end result of being reported as a total loss by an insurance company, for instance. The report will also show how many previous owners the car has had.
Denisse Maxine Used Car, 2021-06-18 00:00:00. 2). Replace old, worn tires. Aside from being a safety hazard, worn tires make the rest of your car look old. It’s like wearing a designer outfit with ratty old sneakers. Shiny new tires with fresh tread make for safer driving and a newer-looking car. 3). Keep an eye on the little things. It is easy for cars to fall victim to damaged or missing trim, old junky windshield wipers, or chipped mirrors as they get older. But, a few minor upgrades can make your car look years younger – without breaking your budget. 4). Make minor repairs. This is something that can really help secondhand cars – especially if you don’t know how the previous owner treated the car. Squeaky brakes, a thundering muffler, or flapping belts can make your car seem (and sound!) much older than it really is. As an added benefit, making some small repairs now can help prevent major expensive breakdowns later.
Blondene Madeleine Used Car, 2021-06-23 00:00:00. Have you decided how much are you going to spend on buying a car? Are you going to pay whole amount upfront and bring your car home without bringing home any worries of monthly installments? Or are you planning to apply for a loan? Whatever is the case, you need to settle down on a particular amount. Accordingly, you will have to shortlist models that are within your range of affordability. Do analyze this tip on buying a car well as it defines the future of your dealings. Once you have shortlisted cars on the basis of your affordability and have also decided which model you want to buy, visit the dealership for checking out the model in real and find out whether it is really worth it or not. Check out all its features and do question them regarding its mileage and engine. These tips on buying a car will go futile if you will not take any action. One of the best tips on buying a car is to read reviews online and compare it with other models of different brands. Online reviews are of great help. They actually update the buyer regarding the actual performance of the model on road. Now that you have decided which model to buy at last, you may start getting in touch with finance companies for a loan. Do not settle down with the first company you get in touch with. Talk to at least 3-4 finance companies and get their quotes. Another good tip for buying a car can be to first get quotes online. This will help you in getting some idea regarding the amount of the down payment that you’ll have to pay upfront. Do make use of these tips on buying a car, whenever you contact the officials. Do not heed to any car buying advice proffered by unknown sources, they can be misleading. When your loan has been passed and you are heading towards the dealer’s showroom for getting your car home, make sure you take all the necessary documents with you. Now that you have paid for the car and are just taking the test drive, you need to check out the following things.
Ariele Asma Used Car, 2021-06-19 00:00:00. You might think that’s still a bit old. Not all old cars are that bad. Within the last 10 years or so regulations have been put in place to control emissions and get better gas millage. Some car companies like Toyota or Honda have been doing this all along regardless of laws. For example I drive a year 2000 honda civic. Its not the pinnacle of ’green’ technology but think on this I get around 25-30mpg. This car is now 9 years old. Many cars today can just match that, and some can’t even reach that high of millage. It also has always passed California smog check and emission checks. California is notorious for its strict emission control standards. So if it can pass those tests it’s a good, clean running car. And since the car is quite a few years old it’s not going to be all that expensive, especially if its found at an auction where you say how much you’re willing to buy it for.
Esperanza Joy Used Car, 2021-06-17 00:00:00. Ford Focus vs Chevy Aveo 3D vs. Honda Civic 5D ==> Imagine that you are planning to choose between 3 hatchback models: Ford Focus, Chevy Aveo 3D and Honda Civic 5D. All of them available at local dealership but you still thinking what option to choose. To tell you the truth I am not trying to sell you any of that models, this is just some steps to go through I would like to suggest you. While having almost the same dimensions (Ford Focus: the 4337 mm long, 1839 mm tall, 1497 mm high, Chevy Aveo 3D: the 3920 mm long, 1680 mm tall, 1505 mm high, and Honda Civic 5D: the 4256 mm long, 1765 mm tall, 1460 mm high) the biggest luggage capacity you have with Honda Civic 5D. Honda Civic has the biggest engine volume (1799 cc), and Chevy Aveo 3D has the smallest one (1498 cc). You find the following for the engine power parameters: 86 php for Chevy, 100 php for Ford Focus and 140 php for Honda. Honda Civic 5D is the best choice in terms of engine power. Why I am speaking about the engine power? It’s the main factor for the top speed available for your car. According to the open data, Ford Focus has the lowest fuel consumption for all regimens. Comparing Honda Civic and Ford Focus, the last one is more competitive in terms of saving costs for gas.

LET us all take the Covid-19 vaccine so that the government can relax some restrictions and allow holding of traditional ceremonies, Chief Moonze has told his subjects.
Chief Moonze of the Tonga people of Monze said it was only through mass coronavirus vaccinations that the government could be convinced to allow the Gonde ceremony to take place. The chief appealed to all his subjects to observe the Covid-19 health guidelines regardless of the dropping numbers of infections in the country.
He urged them to seriously consider being vaccinated for the benefit of everyone.
Chief Moonze said that the Gonde Lwiindi organising committee was in the process of engaging the government on the modalities of holding the ceremony but with strict adherence to the Covid-19 health guidelines.
Chief Moonze said he was in high spirits and could not hesitate to hold one of the biggest traditional ceremonies for the Tonga speaking people of Southern Province if the government gave a green light.

Unsure of what was happening
On Monday (6/29) I was starting to do cardio on the elliptical, about 10 minutes into the warm up, I went to take a sip of water from the straw and the water spilled out the left side of my mouth. Unsure of what was happening, I attempted to raise my left hand to wipe the water off. Although, I knew what I wanted my hand to do, my coordination was off and it could not reach my mouth. I got off the elliptical and sat on the floor for a few minutes wondering what was going on. Attempted to call my boyfriend, but the noise coming out of my mouth was slurred, mumbled, and incomprehensible. Immediately he FaceTimed me and noticed that the left side of my face was paralyzed. We called the ambulance and they rushed me to the ER. All symptoms went away within 2 hours and I fully recovered on my own. I stayed in the hospital for 2 nights and had a full battery of tests including CAT scan, EKG, EEG, angiogram, MRI with contrast, and full panel bloodwork. All tests came back negative and there is no evidence of cardiovascular disease. Yet, due to the symptoms, I was diagnosed with a TIA. I don’t fall under any of the high risk factors, I am 40 y/o, normal weight, workout regularly, never smoked, social drinker, and no family history of strokes. Yet here I am trying to figure out how to prevent this from happening again, but not knowing where to start.
Jennifer de Vries
Keep a log of any questions you may have and discuss with your health care provider/specialist. Many of us who have experienced at TIA have no known cause or have no risk factors. It’s normal to be tired and anxious and the worry of having another is normal as well. Prevention is something you can discuss with your health care provider as well. Best thing you can do is rest and try not to stress.
Great suggestions. Listen to your body and rest when needed. Also, you are your best advocate for your care. Don’t stop asking questions until you get answers that you’re satisfied with.
Mandy Mc Govern Brennan
Hope you are feeling ok, it is very scary ❤ have they checked for carotid/ vertebral artery dissection in the neck? X
Mandy: Yes, they included that in the MRI
CIaudia Msquera I think the MRI does not show that. They should have done an ultrasound on your caroid arteries on both sides of your neck. That’s where they found I have 50% plaque buildup on my left one. One of my eyes went blind for about a minute.
Mandy Mc Govern Brennan
CIaudia Msquera Ah right I see, just as I am only 26 and that’s why I had 2 TIAs, it was a spontaneous carotid artery dissection. Hope you get some answers soon and as mentioned before plenty of rest and hydration as well
Christine Inez Hoad
I am so sorry about your scary experience. I remember being very scared and anxious afterwards. I hope that you’re doing ok.
Mine was similar, except I wasn’t exercising. I was making brownies 😂🙈
I had no family history, no reason anyone could see for this to happen to me (mine was in January, I’m 30) except one thing….birth control pills. Medication was the only thing they think could have caused it, but like you all tests show nothing so I have no answers and I probably never will. As irritating as that can be I feel like a lot of people experience the same thing. The best thing you can do is stay healthy, know the signs and stay active with your doctors.
Ebony D Benjamin
Ask for angiogram
Ebony: had that done as well and came back negative
Linda Miller Jennings
Claudia, the same thing happened to me and like you I had all the tests and they found nothing. My cardiologist ran all kinds of tests and I even had a loop recorder implanted to check for AFib, but still nothing. I am classified as Crypto something (can’t spell it!), and it means unknown. It’s been 2 1/2 yrs and I worry about having another TIA but the dr says to take a low dose aspirin every day, watch my diet and have regular check ups. I don’t smoke or drink but I’m a border line diabetic. I stopped drinking Diet Dr. Pepper after my stroke thinking the Aspartame may have caused it but who knows! Aspartame is bad stuff and has been known to cause strokes so that’s what I’m blaming my stroke on. Good luck and stay healthy!
Stacey Hunt Shields
My story is very similar to yours. As I read your post, I am thinking this is me she is describing. Get yourself a good cardiologist and stay on groups like this. I have learned more on this FB group then anywhere else. It’s a helpful, positive minded group. Good luck!
Have all your blood results come back yet? There can be reasons e.g. high cholesterol x. It’s frightening isn’t it. x
Lisa Wraight: All blood work came back normal as well.
CIaudia Msquera is so frustrating when there are no answers apparent. XX
Yes! Frustrating and so frightening 😞. I am a single mom of 3 teenagers and also care for my mom. I feel like I was smacked in the face with my own mortality and it is so scary when I have the 4 of them who depend on me.
CIaudia I understand and empathise fully. I had a tia in March (tho not kept well for years) my daughter came and saw me
with half face dropped and confused and got me to doctors. (Turns out I had critically high cholesterol)
Lisa Wraight: Sending you lots of love ❤. Thank you for supporting me in the mist of your own struggles
Tara Rose Sirianni
I know it’s frustrating to not have any answers!! I wasn’t diagnosed until I was about 40!! I have no cardiovascular issues and am of normal weight for my height !!! I do have other autoimmune disorders though!!!
I wish I had answers to make sense of it and I know it scares us!!
God Bless us all!!! 💜💜🙏🙏
Tara Rose Sirianni I too have auto immune disorders, 49

Welcome to the family, Claudia! That was a very scary incident you had and we’re very thankful to see that you’re okay. I have high blood pressure and I love to work. In late March when my company started a double over time program, all the way to early June, I pulled more than 900 work hours. As I said, I love working but I love providing for my family more. In that time frame, I have since had 5 TIAs, the beginning stages of kidney failure, and sadly had my over time taken away from me. Mind you, I detest salt, I can’t stand it. My blood pressure was so high that my kidneys were failing me and I had to go back to regular hours or risk dying. My doctor said I was committing suicide pulling that amount of work and hours. I’m okay now, I’ve slowed down and feel much better. I’m on blood pressure meds and I’m eating even healthier than before. I really hope and pray that you get more answers and don’t have another one again. Please feel free to reach out to us if you’re unsure, concerned, or anything. You’re here with family. Xoxo
Welcome! Same thing here. Working out and lost control over whole right side of body. All the tests done, no confirmed diagnosis though they did initially say TIA. Happened two more times within two weeks. Get a second opinion. I still don’t know two months later. Stay well and try not to be too anxious ❤
What you describe is a classic TIA. Here in UK we have a well know TV personality who used to do intense workouts regularly. During one of these he had a stroke. After a long time and much rehab, he is back on TV but has a caliper and his arm is useless.
Same story with me, it’s so frustrating not knowing why it happened to me…I feel your frustration..
Mallorie Yance Petrusson
Your experience sounds identical to mine!!! The symptoms and all. It turns out, after testing from a hematologist, I have a blood clotting disorder called Factor V Leiden. It more than likely caused the blood clot in my brain, causing the TIA symptoms. Definitely get checked for clotting disorders. I was sent by my neurologist to my hematologist. I’m not on blood thinner and have never had another (almost two years out from my TIAs)
Have you had an echo done?
After my tia, we found a PFO (hole in the heart) and VSD birth defect.
I’m going back for a more invasive echo this month and seeing neuro.
CIaudia Msquera how long did it take for you mouth to go back to normal. I had a tia two days ago now. My right side of my mouth isn’t droopy but it will not open.

As you might imagine from Matt Damon’s political philosophy, the man isn’t exactly a red-hatted Donald Trump devotee lining up to give a MAGA loyalty oath. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Damon again provided his critique of Trump and shared a fascinating bit of trivia attached to Trump’s attempts to finesse his public image.
The Suburbicon star shared with THR a peculiar ego stroke that Trump allegedly made mandatory for productions looking to film in one of his buildings. Asked if he’d ever met Trump in person, Damon said no, but his first-hand experience dealing with Trump’s demands didn’t leave a positive impression at all.
“The deal was that if you wanted to shoot in one of his buildings, you had to write him in a part,” offered Damon on the arrangement. “[Director] Martin Brest had to write something in Scent of a Woman — and the whole crew was in on it. You have to waste an hour of your day with a bullshit shot: Donald Trump walks in and Al Pacino’s like, “Hello, Mr. Trump!” — you had to call him by name — and then he exits. You waste a little time so that you can get the permit, and then you can cut the scene out. But I guess in Home Alone 2 they left it in.”

We got a flight to Cartagena from Medellin as it was cheaper and quick than the 15 hour bus. We had also planned to meet Lucy’s friend Emily and her boyfriend Ben who were just finishing their travels around South America. Cartagena was a beautiful small historical town set within large walls and featured many churches and a large castle. This was a main port and a main place for pirates to attack according to a local guy we met. The streets were all painted pastel colours and were very quaint and seemed like a very wealthy area. We met Emily and Ben that afternoon and had some beers at the castle whilst catching up about both of our travels.
That night we headed out to our first salsa bar! Emily and I were so excited, the boys not so much. Emily and Lucy had learnt salsa on a previous holiday so we had a small idea of what to do. Tom was not overly happy about salsa but we were soon instructed by a local guy who was keen to help us! I think there is a lot more practice needed!
The next day all with sore heads we headed to the Boca Grande beach. This wasn’t the Caribbean style beach we were expecting, but was still a beach! We all ate dinner together and Lucy and Emily had an emotional goodbye as we left.

Can I only buy Bo Weevil fabrics and products online?
Our fabrics and other products are available for purchase both online and in physical stores. For sales locations, check our page of resellers.
Why can I not see prices on the website?
Bo Weevil only sells to business related companies with a valid VAT number. To access prices, you can create an account for the website. After we have verified and approved your application. You are able to log into the webshop and have access to prices. At that point you are also able to place an order.
Why do I need a VAT number to create an account?
We are a wholesale supplier and only deliver to businesses and organizations. If you are a private individual, please go to our partner Pure Coverz, they sell our fabrics by the meter and the entire bag and towel collection.
What is the minimum order amount or quantity?
The minimum order amount is €175,-, this is the amount excluding VAT and shipping costs. We deviate from this only for orders of fabric samples and swatches. You can contact us for this at [email protected] or by filling out the contact form.
Do we always charge shipping costs?
Yes, we always charge shipping costs. The reason we do this is that shipping costs per order vary greatly. By calculating the shipping costs per order, everyone pays in fact what it costs to send his or her order. We believe that is the fairest way to pass on costs.
When can I expect my order to arrive?
We send out orders the same or the day after ordering. In the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, orders are delivered in most cases the next day. Delivery to other countries takes a few days. Orders can be tracked with the track & trace code that we provide on the invoice in the bottom right corner.
What are the washing instructions for organic cotton fabrics and products?
Our fabrics are washed and mechanically pre-shrunk, and treated in such a way that a maximum of 5% shrinkage can occur when washed at 40 degrees. Usually, it is 3-4%. For environmental reasons, we advise not to bleach, not to dry clean and to hang dry. Bleaching is hopelessly outdated anyway (why is it still on a label, you wonder). The fabric can be dry cleaned, but chemicals are used (and you always get a plastic hanger and bag around it, which you never use again). That is why our washing advice almost always states not to dry clean. But it is usually possible. Drying in the dryer is really not advisable: not for your energy bill, not for shrinkage, but the fabric also wears out faster. Ironing is possible, preferably at the lowest possible setting, one or two dots.
Why do you sometimes use plastic for packaging?
We believe that in general, too much plastic is used, but we also know that plastic is a very functional packaging material to provide protection to our goods against moisture and dirt. We ask our suppliers to use as little plastic as possible, which often results in only one bag the size of the box, and nothing more. But we are open to suggestions for improvement!
What is the difference between GOTS and OEKO-TEX?
OEKO-TEX and GOTS are both certification programs that focus on sustainability and environmentally friendly production of textiles. However, there are differences between the two programs.
OEKO-TEX is a certification awarded to textile products that have been tested and meet the specified standards for limiting the use of harmful substances.
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is a certification system that aims to promote sustainable and organic farming practices and protect the rights of workers in textile production. The GOTS certification is awarded to textile products made from organically grown fibers and that meet strict social and environmental requirements throughout the entire supply chain.
Cotton with an OEKO-TEX certification has been tested for harmful substances, while cotton with a GOTS certification has not only been tested for harmful substances but also originates from organic farming and is produced according to stringent environmental and social standards. So, while both certifications indicate that the textile product is more sustainable than conventional cotton, GOTS goes a step further by also guaranteeing that the production process is socially responsible and environmentally friendly.

Show stealers, every one of them.
I’ve learned a lot about secondary characters over the past few years. As well as my own writing, I also write paranormal romance under the name Taylor Keating with a writing partner. Secondary characters are usually, although not always, my domain, so when my writing partner came up with the character of Nick Sutton in our first book, Game Over, because our heroine needed a friend, I decided to make him the Expendable Crew Member.
Nick became our first real argument as WPs.
“You’re making him too interesting,” my WP complained. “He’s going to Steal the Show.”
“Nonsense,” I replied. “He’s a total ass and anyway, I’m going to kill him. Heh heh heh.” (Picture me chortling and rubbing my hands with maniacal glee.)
She gave me The Look, but said nothing more.
Until the end.
“You can’t kill him,” she said. “Readers will hate us.”
Again, I disagreed. “I admit he was totally fun to write,” I said, “but he’s such a jerk. There’s not a heroic bone in that guy’s body. Let’s see what our trusted First Reader thinks.”
Let me give you an example of an incident in Game Over that truly defines Nick’s character and explains my confidence that he had to die:
Kaye looked up at him, then lifted the back of his jacket to show the gun holstered at his hip. “You have ten minutes to get me inside. After that, I start blowing off the little gamer’s toes, one by one.”
Nick wondered how throwing up in front of Kaye would be received. Crapping himself probably wouldn’t go over any better. “I can’t get you inside,” he said, thinking fast. “I’m not that good. River is the software engineer. But I can get you audio through the com-link.”
It wasn’t going to be good enough. Nick could see it in those freaky, maniac eyes.
I’m sorry, Babe. Not even for River would Nick risk the chance of those lab experiments being unleashed on him. Losing a few toes to gunfire wouldn’t be half so bad.
“I love Nick,” First Reader announced, unprompted, even after reading that passage.
And yet I persisted. “Forget First Reader. Our editor will agree with me,” I said to WP.
“Go ahead and see for yourself,” WP invited me, a glint of victory already in her eye.
“You’d better bring him back,” the editor advised me. “And stop being so mean to him.”
There’s simply no accounting for taste. I conceded defeat. Nick has survived through all three books in the series, and in the third book, Fair Game, he actually gets a chance to be somewhat more admirable.
“I can’t help it,” our editor admitted after reading the final manuscript. “I know he’s a coward and a jerk, but I love him.”
Even so, he’ll probably never get his own story because, believe me, a little Nick Sutton goes a very long way.
So what is it with me and my fascination with secondary characters? Because that’s what it amounts to. Readers wouldn’t like them so much if I didn’t like them too, and yes, a part of me loves Nick. He’s like the child a mother can never be proud of but will love all the same, and visit in prison.
Secondary characters like Nick are very freeing creatively. They can say what they want. Their thoughts and emotions are rarely politically correct. Secondary characters can throw the kid under the bus as long as they have a plausible reason for it. The hero, on the other hand, has to be…heroic. Flawed okay, but unwavering in his commitment to be a better person, especially for the heroine’s sake. His thoughts and emotions always drift toward Doing the Right Thing.
In short, the hero has to save the kid. The secondary character gets to stand back and cheer from the sidewalk, then take him out for a drink after. He’ll probably stiff the hero for the bill, too.
In my new Demon Outlaws series, written for Entangled Publishing LLC under my own name, my editor was happy to discover that the hero’s less-than-upstanding BFF in the first book, The Demon’s Daughter, was going to get his own story. Toward the end of The Demon’s Daughter, even I had to admit the BFF was shaping up to be pretty awesome. In fact, during revisions, I took out one entire scene (and most of a chapter) because in it, he seriously threatened to Steal the Show.
But by writing the second book, Black Widow Demon, based on this secondary character from the first, my formerly flawed bad boy lost all his freedom to be bad. He now had to spend an entire story in Redemption Land. His days of behaving like a schmuck (or in this case, an assassin) were over, and that poor guy had an Unsavory History.
But in Black Widow Demon, he’s all hero. His story is about the future, and potential, not a dysfunctional past.
Series must be my favorite thing to write ever, all thanks to the secondary characters. They open up world building opportunities and interesting new story arcs. (And yes, the hero for book three of the Demon Outlaws series makes his initial appearance in book two.)

Super light. Durability questionable.This is extremely lightweight and keeps your stuff dry. This is obvious, yes, but this is the basic run down of this bag. The material is super thin, and kinda stretchy. It has held up to everything that has gone in it so far, but it does seem like it could puncture fairly easily. ,,,,my only other gripe is that I got the 5L size, and it is just too narrow to fit my insulated jacket.,,,,Sad face.

Does what it is supposed to do...I've have used this dry sack through the summer and early winter to protect my camera equipment on my adventures. So far, while I haven't fallen in a river or anything, this dry sack has kept my gear dry in heavy rain and snow. While it is made out of a thin material, which could raise durability concerns, I haven't had any issues.

“For Ved Chirayath, a graduate student and amateur fashion photographer, a photo project that involved NASA researchers dressed as Vikings was just a creative way to promote space science. ‘I started this project hoping maybe one day some kid will look at it and say, ‘I want to work for NASA,’ ‘ says Chirayath, a student at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, who also works nearby at NASA’s Ames Research Center. He never suspected that his fanciful image would put him in the crosshairs of a government waste investigation triggered by a senior U.S. senator.” The project was funded by an outside art grant. The best part: the investigation into the non-existent waste probably cost more than the “waste” would have were it funded by NASA in the first place

Portsmouth Psychologist Pleads Not Guilty to Prostitution Charges
A New Hampshire psychologist accused of running a prostitution business out of his apartment on Sagamore Avenue pleaded not guilty yesterday. Alexander Marino also pleaded not guilty to possession of a controlled drug. Portsmouth Lt. Michael Maloney said police started looking into those allegations earlier this year. The allegations state that police doing surveillance noticed different women bringing various men from the pool area at that apartment complex to Marino’s apartment for short period of time. Officers also believed that drugs were being used. Marino’s lawyer John Drisoll said Marino maintains he is innocent. The state board of mental health has temporarily suspended Marinos license to practice.

In 2008, Dr. Doris Taylor of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Cardiovascular repair made a preclinical advance by the tissue engineering of a live, beating rat heart, generated using a decellularized myocardium as a scaffold, onto which cardiac stem cells were seeded.
Within two years were not only reporting similar results with reseeded decellularized lungs and livers but the transplantation and in vivo functionality (albeit for brief periods) of these constructs. And the most recent advance came at the end of 2010, with the announcement from Shay Soker, Anthony Atala, and colleagues at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine that
Livers from different species [mice, rats, ferrets, rabbits, and pigs] were perfused with detergent to selectively remove the cellular components of the tissue while preserving the extracellular matrix components and the intact vascular network. The decellularized vascular network was able to withstand fluid flow that entered through a central inlet vessel, branched into an extensive capillary bed, and coalesced into a single outlet vessel. The vascular network was used to reseed the scaffolds with human fetal liver and endothelial cells. These cells engrafted in their putative native locations within the decellularized organ and displayed typical endothelial, hepatic, and biliary epithelial markers, thus creating a liver-like tissue in vitro
The ghost hearts were then injected with millions of stem cells, which had been extracted from patients and supplied with nutrients.
The stem cells ‘recognised’ the collagen heart structure and began to turn into heart muscle cells.
The hearts have yet to start beating – but if they do, they could be strong enough to pump blood.
However, the race to create a working heart faces many obstacles.
One of the biggest is getting enough oxygen to the organ through a complex network of blood vessels. Scientists also need to ensure the heart cells beat in time.
Dr Taylor told the Sunday Times: ‘We are a long way off creating a heart for transplant, but we think we’ve opened a door to building any organ for human transplant.’
Dr Taylor points out that there is no shortage of pigs from which to extract hearts if no human cadavers are available. Once such a heart has been stripped of pig cells and reseeded with human stem cells taken from a patient needing a new heart, there should be few rejections.
“We are a long way off creating a heart suitable for transplant, but the potential is clearly there,” she said. …
A key question for regenerative medicine researchers is how to make sure stem cells turn into the right thing – so they produce cardiac cells in the heart or liver cells in the liver.
Dr Taylor believes natural scaffolds help achieve this, partly because the stem cells recognise their shape. It may also be because they are each impregnated with chemicals specific to the organ from which they were derived. …
“My ultimate goal is that one day we will be able to take a heart, probably from a pig, remove the cells and then replace them with cells grown from the patient’s own body.
“Then we would build a heart to match the patient and transplant it into them. That’s the dream.”
Indeed it shall be, if these press reports are accurate, and if the resulting engineered myocardia prove even transiently viable: a key milestone in progress toward a comprehensive panel of rejuvenation biotechnologies.
