If you have just woken up this morning thankyou for joining me on this blog and on this journey. Are you a tired soul, have you talked about your dream till your tongue has gone limp, and the words are leaden. Do you sit in the shadows, watching an empty tv screen without busy flashing images caught up in the depression of failed attempts. I have been there. Many a dream walked by me, shaking its hips, as i cooed at it from a lonely place. You must learn your lesson, you must revisit with a new strategy, a new plan, and have manageable goals. You must truly believe that this dream you are worthy of. It is not a stolen dream, it is meant for you. Then you must fight with vision and audacity.
We live in a society where those who dare to think differently are judged for it, criticised ridiculed and in my case , bullied and isolated. What i find most amusing, is the same people who tear you down, later try and immitate your formula, pretending as though they had the independence of spirit to concoct it themselves. When they were too narrow minded trying to fit in, and follow the masses.
You must realise to an extent that for a while as you attempt to commandeer this dream, you will be alien to a network you were once familiar too. You must realise that people will attempt to sabotage, to belittle, ridicule, and to hold you back. Yet you must hail yourself to the highest esteem and respect your potential. It is a conversation you must have with yourself daily, i am worthy, i am loved, i am closer. My dream an i may be an Ocean appart but everyday i am within its reach..

The rich and magnificent bio diversity of nature in the most exquisite form can be seen in the group of the Amazon rainforest plants. This is the place where Mother Nature has laid the foundation of evolution and characteristic of living beings.
When the world is suffering from the jeopardy of being polluted and the greenery is gradually vanishing, the Amazon rainforest plants are enjoying their full and uninterrupted development in a healthy atmosphere. There exists a plethora of different kinds of flora in the Amazon.
The different flora that exist there offer a great deal of biological carbon prints to study from them. Many plants fall into different categories and scientists of Taxonomy are still busy indexing them. Over the years in this huge forest you can find almost seven hundred varieties of flora species per twice and a half acre of the land. Such biodiversity has never been found on any part of this planet earth.
The rainy season is the most essential source of the perennial rivers that provide nutrition and acts as the circulatory system of the forest. Sometimes it is often witnessed that the water level reaches more than fifteen meters above the normal level. The nutrition content of soil is enormous.
Most of the Amazon rain forests plants have dense foliage and at times the rays of sun seldom reach the ground floor. It is for this reasons the plants at the lower level have made their own adaptation to counterbalance the need for the sunshine to prepare their food by the process of photosynthesis. Some herbs have sucking roots that dig deep in to the stem of other plants to draw nutrition. Some plants have developed themselves in the form of creepers that crawl and twine themselves around bigger plants in order to get to top.
The Amazon rainforest plants have an abundance amount of medicinal plants too. The most essential among them is the Cinchona tree. Its bark is essential for making the medicine called Quinine which is the only cure for Malaria. The next variety is the White Trillium which is of great use in the field of Gynecology. Its petals are used by pregnant mothers to ease the process of childbirth. The leaves of this herb have magical capabilities to cure snake bites. Even herbs like Foxglove have their own medical applications and are used by patients with heart problems. The herb of poppy is used for opium that is widely used to make tranquilizers like Morphine and Codeine.
The Amazon rainforest plants create their own weather cycle. It is due to the large scale transpiration from these plants that the area gets the most abundant amount of rainfall and thus giving rise to enough floras to support the fauna of the ecosystem. These plants are the only source of nutrition and shelter to the animals of the forest.
The forests are gradually decreasing and vanishing due to global warming. So lets join hands to protect them and to keep these jewels of the earth intact.

Recently I was in a waiting room and saw a Spanish magazine there. One of the articles on the cover was: "Naci para ser mama" , in English that translates: "I Was Born to Be a Mother" . I thought about it and realized it was both a truism and countercultural.
It is a Truism, because God has created the human race, in fact, all sentient beings with the drive to procreate. It is written in our hearts and in our biology. We are driven to procreate, to pass on our experiences and wisdom. We are driven to raise a child to be exempt from the mistakes that our own parents made. We also want to live for something greater than ourselves. Raising children certainly meets that qualification.
But that statement: "I Was Born to Be a Mother" , is also countercultural. In our prevailing culture, children are often seen as a burden or an interference with the really "important" things that many adults want to do with their lives. To make such a statement about an inner drive and longing for parenthood is to contradict this modern narrative.
In the midst of the profound confusion of modernity, there are many couples wanting to conceive and yet who cannot. For many reasons this difficulty in conceiving is becoming more widespread and it comes in various forms. For some couples, their infertility has a known cause but not a known remedy, others have been able to conceive children, but have repeated miscarriages, others have had one or two children, but for unknown reasons now experience secondary infertility. Whatever the cause or symptoms, there is great suffering and agonizing among these couples. We can look at women in the Bible who were infertile. One was Hannah who read about in today's reading (1 Samuel 1: 1-11). But there are others, for example: Sarah, Rebecca and Elizabeth. They experienced great pain and a sense of failure not only to themselves and their husbands but also to the whole community.
They can feel like they have failed at the most basic dimension of their marriage. Many feel powerless, as if they are stuck on a hope-followed-by-disappointment cycle. Some may feel isolated from friends and family and are constantly wounded or reminded of their pain by well-meaning but often insensitive comments from family and friends.
In the story of Hannah the sacred scripture shows the difficulty that can come from those who dislike you (Peninnah) and even from her husband, Elkanah who, while perhaps meaning well, tried to console his wife by saying that he was worth more than 10 sons. He clearly missed the point and fell short in empathizing with her feelings.
The experience of infertility can also cause a tremendous strain in the marriage as couples try to cope with this challenge and find ways to comfort each other. They also have to work very hard to develop a different trajectory for their marriage if children are not going to be a part of their lives.
We want each of you to know that married couples are not facing their challenges alone. They are doing so with God. It is certainly easy to leave him out, especially with the illusory control that many have assumed over fertility. That would include contraception, abortion, and In Vitro Fertilization technologies. These latter technologies can be very seductive with the promise of a child, but to accede to them is to proclaim that God has forgotten you. He has not. Here is where we are called to trust Mother Church. She understands who man is and how God created us to love. We can have confidence that she will guide us to what will truly fulfill us.
The Church wants you to trust that God is in this with you. It doesn't mean that he caused the infertility; God just doesn't do that. Look at the Gospel reading today (John 9:1-7) where we see that Jesus' disciples were expressing the common view that the man's blindness had to be someone's fault, the result of someone's sin. Jesus says "No, it is so that the works of God may be made manifest through Him." We don't know why he allows it, but he doesn't cause infertility and He is with you.
Keep in mind that your married love is not utilitarian; your one-flesh union is not simply a means to procreate. It is the total giving of yourself as a disinterested gift to your beloved. There is nothing incomplete or lacking in your covenantal love if that gift is made in accordance with the dignity God has invested in you as spouses. So, what does Our Lord want you to do?
First of all, ask Him for healing, in all its forms. Knowing that with God all things are possible, ask for physical healing of the cause of your infertility. There are many patron saints of infertility: St Rita of Cascia, St Anne, St Francis of Assisi, St Francis of Paola, and St. Gerard. Pray also for emotional healing from the pain, humiliation, loss and grief that you may be experiencing. And, pray for Spiritual healing, knowing that God has a plan for you. Trust the words of the Prophet Jeremiah from 29:11: "For I know well the plans I have in mind for you-oracle of the LORD-plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope."
Lastly, ask the Lord, how you, as a couple can more completely serve Him and fulfill the mission He has for us? For some it is by adopting children or becoming foster parents. For others it is by offering your gifts to help the Church in the faith formation of children. Or you may be called in a particular way to become servants of life to those who are lost in the culture of death all around us. As we close with a special prayer tonight, we will ask especially for Our Lord's loving blessing on those couples who are infertile or who conceive but cannot bring the child to term, or those who are struggling with secondary infertility.
Father in Heaven, you are the author of life. In your generosity and love you have allowed men and women to share in this marvelous work of bringing new life into the world. We pray for your sons and daughters gathered here this evening that want so much to participate in the miracle of life. Please heal the causes of infertility for all those seeking your help to conceive.
Please give them hearts to trust you and your plan for them and their marriage. Give them wisdom to know how to comfort each other; send friends to encourage and lift them up; grant them patience with those how do not understand the cross they bear and the faith they need to find victory and new life through their suffering. We pray this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
We are very happy that about a hundred people attended the Mass, both Catholic and non-Catholic couples alike. We were even happier that most stayed long afterwards, visiting with table hosts and meeting each other. Dr. Clint Leonard, Ob/Gyn, Dr. Deidre Wilson, Sr. Noreen Sharp with Adoption Services of Catholic Charities, and the Office of NFP hosted tables and had long lines of couples who shared their struggles with infertility. We provided a Resource List with internet links to blogs, books and helpful websites, an article about licit infertility procedures, lists of NFP only physicians and articles on Catholic teachings in the area of infertility. We had a basket of 3rd Class relics of St. Gerard along with a medal and holy card that were our gifts to each couple.
Couples expressed a beautiful spirit of gratitude for the Church for providing this Mass. We heard them say how much they were learning at the healthcare tables, that they had never heard before coming that night. We want them to come back next year and hope by that time someone will be inspired to start a Catholic support group for couples experiencing infertility. If they do they can count on support and guidance from the Office of NFP. I am very grateful for our celebrant, Fr. Charlie Goraeib, for generously giving his time and for his edifying homily. I am also thankful for Erin Campbell who chaired this event and gave so much of her time and love throughout all its planning stages to make it an event to inspire and long remember.

I once read an extended interview with Larry Cohen that arguably taught me more about low budget filmmaking than the three years I spent studying film at college. Cohen is one of American cinema's great multi-hyphenates. As pointed out in Steve Mitchell's documentary King Cohen (subtitled 'The Wild World of Filmmaker Larry Cohen'), he became a director to protect his writing, and ultimately a producer to protect his directing. Cohen worked in a manner similar to Ed Wood, shooting on crowded city streets without permits and working within the confines of extremely tight budgets and schedules. The difference of course is that Cohen managed to make good movies with such practices.
Mitchell adopts a loose cradle to present day format for his doc. Many filmmaker docs tend to start with their subject's key period, but King Cohen refreshingly devotes a good amount of time to Cohen's early days working in the true golden age of TV, the '60s, when he contributed to a slew of hit shows, and created several himself, like The Invaders, Branded and Coronet Blue.
Cohen's real purple patch came in the '70s and '80s, when he struck out from Hollywood and self-produced his own movies, becoming the very definition of an indie auteur with movies like the It's Alive trilogy, God Told Me To and Q: The Winged Serpent. Mitchell assembles all the key surviving players from this period, including the great Michael Moriarty, the John Wayne to Cohen's John Ford. Fred Williamson, star of Cohen's blaxploitation entries Black Caesar and Hell Up in Harlem, provides some of the funniest moments in a doc that's full of them with his recollections of Cohen's unconventional working practices.
New York may be synonymous with filmmakers like Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese and Abel Ferrara, but nobody shot the Big Apple quite like Cohen, who working without permission of course, would get down to street level, shooting complex and dangerous set-pieces on the streets of Manhattan. Whenever you see bystanders panicking in a Cohen movie, you know those are genuinely scared citizens who think they're actually witnessing a shootout or some other fracas. One of the doc's highlights arrives when Cohen and his cohorts come clean about the many laws they broke to pull off such stunts, including disrupting John Landis' Trading Places shoot when every available NYPD officer was called to the Chrysler building in the belief it had been taken over by terrorists - false alarm, it was just Cohen and crew shooting the finale of Q: The Winged Serpent.
King Cohen's greatest asset is the presence of Cohen himself. There are some filmmakers who talk a great game (cough "Eli Roth") but make terrible movies, but Cohen is a true entertainer, both as a filmmaker and a talking head. He's captivatingly witty in the way only Jewish New Yorkers of his generation are, and at 76 he's as energetic as ever. Those in attendance at the film's screening at the Irish Film Institute's Horrorthon had the bonus of a recorded intro from the great man, who credited his storytelling skills to his grandmother.
Cohen's spirit lives on in the likes of The Safdie Brothers, who similarly exploit the sights and sounds of street level NYC, but in the modern world we'll never see his like again. King Cohen is an in-depth and loving tribute to a true legend of low budget cinema. It's also one of the most entertaining filmmaking documentaries you'll ever see.

John Holt has been the president and chief executive officer of Nexbank for a number of years. Nexbank is a member of the Texas Bankers Association which holds an annual conference each November. Each conference is built around a main theme and for the 2016 edition the theme was around reinventing community banking. John Holt spoke at this event about the measures his own company was pursuing in order to be more innovative and offering their customers a broader range of services.
One of the ways that Nexbank broadened their services in 2016 was by acquiring a college savings bank. This acquisition enabled Nexbank to offer their customers and the broader community of Dallas a way to effectively save for their kid’s college educations. Another issue John Holt talked about during his speech was starting an initiative to provide funding to those businesses which are offering mortgages in areas of Dallas that are low income. He said that helping lower income people by offering them lower cost mortgages was a great way to help them provide better schooling to their children and build equity.
Nexbank offers checking and savings accounts to their customers in addition to the college savings plans. They also offer CDs up to 24 months in length which currently pay 2.05 percent. Additionally, they offer products and services to large businesses such as mortgage and commercial banking as well as other institutional services. They manage about $8.35 billion in assets and employee 88 people in their three offices located around Dallas, Texas.
In addition to John Holt others that make up the management team includes Stacy Malinda Hodges who is an executive vice president and chief financial officer. Scott Matthew Siekielski is another Executive VP as well as the Director of Nextbank. The other two top executives are Tamara Hambright and Paula Verdell. Both are senior VPs with the former in charge of warehouse lending and the later warehouse operations.

At City National Bank & Trust, commitment to our customers is more than a principle; it’s a way of life. Founded on an intense dedication to unmatched customer service and the most convenient and easy-to-use products and services, we at City National Bank pride ourselves on 100+ years of community banking. Six years before Oklahoma became a state, City National Bank became what would be one of the oldest and most respected community banks in the area. In early 1901, a handful of men applied for a bank charter in a soon-to-be-opened reservation in southwest Oklahoma. On March 23, 1901, (four months and 15 days before Lawton became a town) the bank charter was issued and bore the name “First National Bank of Fort Sill.” In July of that year, “Lawton” was chosen for the town in honor of Major General Henry W. Lawton, and the name of the bank was immediately changed to “City National Bank of Lawton.” In order to start serving the community immediately, a small framed structure was built on wheels and rolled into town. Mr. Frank M. English became president of the bank three years later and served 27 years. His successor, J.R. “Dolph” Montgomery became president in 1931 at the age of 24. At that time, he was said to be the youngest president of a national bank in the United States. He served as president for 44 years until his death in 1975.
In December 1976, City National Bank moved into its present headquarters located at Fifth and “D” Avenue. In 1982, City National Bank’s first ATM was installed, and in 1985, City National Bank opened its first branch on Gore Boulevard in Lawton. In order to make banking more convenient, in 1997, City National Bank transitioned to in-store branches with its first branch inside Walmart in Lawton, Oklahoma. Since then, City National Bank has expanded into over 20 communities in Oklahoma and Kansas and is expanding every day.
Today, City National Bank has 38 branches and is continuing to grow every day. With a network of conveniently-located ATMs and branches and all the tools you need to manage your accounts, banking has never been easier or more convenient. Just like our founders, we are dedicated to providing our customers with the very best in customer service and solid, stable financial services.
We at City National Bank pride ourselves on 100+ years of community banking and look forward to the next 100 years. City National Bank – more than banking, it’s family.
At City National Bank, we offer a personal level of service by taking the time to get to know our customers and building relationships that last. Since 1901, we have been, and will continue to be, a hometown bank to every customer that we have the privilege to serve. By meeting your unique and ever-changing needs, we will continue to serve all of the communities in which we live and work. It is important for us to see you succeed and grow along with us.
It’s more than just a tagline at City National Bank, we truly are ‘More Than Banking, It’s Family’. From all of our family here at City National Bank, we thank you for your support this past year, and we look forward to serving you for many more years to come.

Love to gorge on chocolates? According to a research, consuming up to six bars of chocolate a week may lower the risk of developing a common and dangerous type of irregular heartbeat linked with higher risk of stroke, heart failure, cognitive decline, dementia, and death by 20 per cent.
Atrial fibrillation also known as heart flutter affects more than 33 million people worldwide, with one in four adults likely to develop it at some point during the life course.
The study showed that men and women who ate one to three servings per month had a 10 per cent lower rate of atrial fibrillation.
While those who ate one serving per week had a 17 per cent lower rate, on the other hand those who ate two to six servings per week had a 20 per cent lower rate.
“Our study adds to the accumulating evidence on the health benefits of moderate chocolate intake and highlights the importance of behavioural factors for potentially lowering the risk of arrhythmias,” said lead author Elizabeth Mostofsky, from Harvard Chan School in the US.
“Despite the fact that most of the chocolate consumed by the study participants likely had relatively low concentrations of potentially protective ingredients, we still observed a significant association between eating chocolate and a lower risk of atrial fibrillation — suggesting that even small amounts of cocoa consumption can have a positive health impact,” she added.
For the study, published in the journal Heart, the team included 55,502 (26,400 men and 29,100 women) participants, aged between 50 and 64.
“Eating excessive amounts of chocolate is not recommended because many chocolate products are high in calories from sugar and fat and could lead to weight gain and other metabolic problems. But moderate intake of chocolate with high cocoa content may be a healthy choice,” Mostofsky noted.

Rainfall and reservoir supplies are undoubtedly in shortage in comparison to levels recorded since records began. Many people feel that this is due to global warming and there is widespread concern that if global warming continues at its current level, or increases, their will be significant water shortages worldwide, resulting in a water famine in, at the least, the hottest and driest parts of the world.
As rainfall has been so short in recent years, resulting in a public drought order being issued in England and Wales for the eleventh time since 1990, saving water has become a high priority for environmentally conscious individuals, institutions and companies.
Bans on hosepipes reflect the huge amount of water that they use. Keep hosepipe use to a minimum throughout the year, regardless of whether a drought order has been issued. Remember: More damage is done to the garden in non-drought conditions by over-watering, than by under-watering plants!
Only wash full loads of clothes, or, if possible, keep clothes washing to a minimum and use the 'half load' facility on your washing machine.
Use an energy efficient washing machine. These can be identified by the 'EU Energy Efficiency Label', which will bear the classification 'A' if it is efficient.
Wash vegetables in a bowl and keep the water for the garden.
Run short showers rather than baths.
Replace the washers on dripping taps.
Save water from boiled vegetables for vegetable stock, or use it for watering when it has cooled down.
Place a filled one litre bottle of water in old toilet cisterns, thus reducing the amount of water used when the toilet is flushed.
Wash dishes by hand in a bowl, rather than the sink.
Avoid using dishwashers, which waste energy as well as water.
Insulate all of your pipes to avoid losing heat. This will save on water use and energy bills.
Whilst it is important to save water at home statistics show that there is a great deal of water wasted in the workplace as well. 'Envirowise' promoted 'Water at Work Week' in August 2006, arguing that if businesses placed litre bottles of water in all of their toilet cisterns, they could help to save up to 132 million litres of water daily, as part of a nationwide scheme. Initiatives such as this demonstrate the impact that small behavioural changes at work can have on the environment.
Much water is wasted along the supply line, both through faults in reservoir beds and cracks in water supply pipes. 'The new European Water Policy: River basin management, Water Framework Directive (200/60/EC)' was devised to address faults in the management and supply of water and has been implemented under national law since 2003. Water companies now have to adhere to strict standards and can be fined if they do not address wasteful inadequacies in their infrastructure. The Water Act of 2003 obligates public bodies to strive to save water wherever possible. The government backed 'Waterwise' scheme has been setup to advise public sector groups how best to achieve this.
Saving water is set to become a prime concern for businesses and individals over the coming years. At the moment, EU and UK government policy on water falls far behind policies that aim to reduce harmful carbon emmissions. If we are to live in a sustainable and healthy environment, individuals, corporations and governments must make greater concerted efforts to reduce water consumption.

The outcome of the April 2 Supreme Court Race will help shape the future of Wisconsin for years, possibly decades. At stake are crucial issues including voting rights, gerrymandering, environmental protection, litigation over Act 10 and Lame-Duck legislation that may come before the court. In spite of the fact that Scott Walker was voted out of office, his influence remains in the Supreme Court through the judges he has appointed or supported in elections.
Although the Supreme Court race is supposed to be nonpartisan, in reality the opposing candidates usually have different political leanings. This year is no exception.
The more conservative candidate is Brian Hagedorn, Scott Walker’s legal counsel, who had a hand in writing the Act 10 legislation and who Walker appointed to the Second District Appeals Court in 2015. The revelation of Hagedorn’s extreme anti-LBGT views prompted the conservative Wisconsin Association of Realtors to withdraw their endorsement and ask to have their $18,000 contribution returned. Likewise, the US Chamber of Commerce, who often pours money into the state to support conservative court candidates, decided not to do so this year.
The more liberal candidate is Lisa Neubauer, appointed to the Second District Appeals Court in 2007 by Gov. Jim Doyle. She now serves as that court’s Chief Justice. Neubauer has been endorsed by over 300 judges and law enforcement officials.
Justice Shirley Abrahamson is not seeking reelection due to health reasons; therefore, if Hagedorn is elected, the conservative majority on the court will increase 5-2. If Neubauer wins, the conservative majority would hold at 4-3. This would create an opportunity in 2020 for a shift to a liberal majority. That is when Daniel Kelly, an ultraconservative appointed to the Supreme Court in 2016 by Walker to replace the retiring Judge David Prosser, faces an election. Kelly would be running in a year when the election for the Supreme Court coincides with a presidential primary, which is expected to attract large numbers of Democratic voters. Since such a turnout could disadvantage Kelly, the Republican legislature attempted to change the date for the presidential primary so it would no longer coincide with the Supreme Court race.
Unfortunately, in spite of all that is at stake, on April 2 we could see a voter turnout of only 10% which is a typical turnout for spring elections when there is no coinciding presidential primary. Think about that! A tiny minority of voters could have a major influence on the future of Wisconsin by who they send to the Supreme Court. Here is a chance to cast a vote that may have a greater impact than any other vote you have ever cast. Exercise your power and get to the polls on April 2.

The Spanish Riding School is one of Vienna's most stunning buildings - and that's saying something! Take a specially tailored tour of the building's Renaissance architecture, and into 450 years of haute école tradition.
While this is focused on the building's architecture, no tour of the Spanish Riding School would be complete without a visit to the stables and Europe's oldest breed of horse - the Lipizzaner.
These handsome beasts and their haute école dressage movements have been adored for centuries and, with one look into their wise old eyes, you'll soon see why.
Head on to the magnificent Winter Riding School – a jewel of baroque architecture. Make your way up 170 steps to see the attic's wooden structural system, built from no less than 2,000 individual pieces. A true technical and aesthetic marvel!
Dazzling views of Vienna's first district await at the top of the building, with a bird's eye view of the rest of the Imperial City's Renaissance architecture. A top trip for architecture and equestrian fans alike!
Extremely interesting and you get to see lots.
Ein toller Ausflug mit sehr kompetenter Führung!
Nice tour, excellent option to busy booked tours and interesting background information.
Es war sehr interessant einen Einblick in die Hofreitschule zu bekommen! In den Stallungen hätte ich persönlich gerne mehr Zeit verbracht.

Cheesy Bacon Hasselback Potatoes Hasselback potatoes always look great on a plate. This cheesy version, made with bacon, cheddar and fresh chives, is sure to be a new favorite.
Cut thin lengthwise slice off bottom of each potato; discard. Place 2 wooden spoons on opposite long sides of 1 potato on cutting board. Cut potato crosswise into 24 thin slices, stopping when knife hits spoons. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
Microwave on HIGH 12 to 14 min. or until potatoes are almost tender. Place in foil-lined 13x9-inch pan; brush evenly with 3 Tbsp. dressing. Bake 15 min. or until potatoes are tender. Remove from oven. Heat broiler.
Insert bacon pieces alternately with cheese slices between potato slices. Combine Parmesan and chives; sprinkle over potatoes. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
Broil, 4 inches from heat, 2 to 3 min. or until topping is lightly browned. Cut in half.

The theme of the women’s conference has been taken from Isaiah 43:19: “Behold, I am about to do a new thing.” Appropriately, the “visual” which has accompanied this is the butterfly. I brought this morning’s message in our opening worship and began with a short time-elapsed film which shows a butterfly emerging from a cocoon – that cocoon is quite ugly and tough! But the butterfly works hard to free itself – and what a beautiful thing it is when it comes out and breaks free.
I gave my own testimony of seeing how the Church in Syria could easily be caught in a cocoon of an ugly war – but it is continually breaking free to emerge again and again as butterflies of ministry which give witness to the good news of Jesus Christ: a ministry of reconciliation with youth in Homs, giving water to the surrounding community from the well at Aleppo Church, nurturing small children in the kindergarten of Mhardeh Church, etc. I ended by saying to the assembled sisters that their lives of faith and faithfulness were a gift to us, and we had a gift for them: a bag filled with all things “butterfly” – a ring, a bracelet, a notepad, a necklace, a small box – to remind us of our time together until we meet again.

On this day, the first anniversary of Trump’s presidency, the same day our government has been shut down, women are marching all around our country- AGAIN. Women are claiming their power to define, establish and maintain their human rights as citizens of the United States and of the world.
This is nothing new. For centuries (possibly millennia!) women have had to defend their very femininity against concurrent cultural perceptions of their intellect and abilities, as well as their worth and status in society. It has become tedious to address each cultural nuance, each new attack against womanhood, which presents itself. Given that it is our female anatomy and physiology which allow for the continued procreation of humankind, what in hell is the problem? Remember, “it takes TWO, baby!” to make a baby. Women and men are equal partners. Why have our cultures throughout the ages failed to reflect this equality? The likely answer is: PREGNANCY.
During pregnancy, women are somewhat physically and emotionally vulnerable. While this vulnerability is temporary, it can be misperceived as weakness- and therefore exploited. Further, until the recent era of ready access to dependable methods of birth control, it was common for women to get pregnant every two to three years. They spent years of their lives in a vulnerable state.
Throughout history, we have attempted to control our fertility. Anthropologists have discovered condoms made from a variety of materials dating back as far as 3000 years ago. Yet the use of artificial contraception (any method other than abstinence) has created enormous cultural and religious controversy for centuries. Changing the number of pregnancies women experience would of course create change in society. Those changes are not totally predictable, nor are they necessarily desirable to all.
1960- Enovid, the first birth control pill, cleared the FDA for human use.
1965- The US Supreme Court gave married couples the right to use birth control, but unmarried women in 26 states were denied access to birth control pills.
1972- In Baird v. Eisenstadt the US Supreme Court legalized birth control methods for all citizens regardless of marital status.
2018- We’re still marching. Sexual harassment against women reached a tipping point last year, and our hidden shame has been thrown off by giving it our voice. Epidemic domestic violence continues despite all our efforts.
It seems we must keep on marching.
Dedicated to my four granddaughters: Allyson, Christina, Amber, and Elizabeth; and to my two grandsons, Joseph and Jacob.
. . . . ENTER: the intruder . . . .
Our lives devoid of sanity, of hope . . .
By profession, I am a registered nurse practitioner specializing in anesthesia. In 1990, I also completed a BA in Cultural Anthropology. While pursuing my studies, I’d been enthralled by Margaret Mead’s research in American Samoa for her doctoral thesis in Anthropology. I’d also had the opportunity to meet her daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson, when she was a visiting lecturer at George Mason University. So when an advertisement appeared in our anesthesia journal in early 1992 seeking volunteers to work in American Samoa, I knew I had to respond! I wanted to experience Mead’s South Pacific paradise for myself!
Making it happen was no small task. I didn’t want to move out of my condo, so my son Michael agreed he would stay there and cover the expenses. I contacted LBJ Tropical Medical Center and told them of my interest, sending my resume and copies of licenses, etc. I also began looking into possible free-lance work to do after I returned. I told my boss about my plans, and to my surprise, he offered me a leave of absence instead. I happily accepted. Finally I was ready to go!
Dr. Sam met me at the airport on July 1, 1992. He told me I would be staying at the Rainmaker Hotel temporarily because a hurricane the previous year had damaged the volunteer apartments. The hotel was lovely; I settled in and began working the next day at the hospital, which was about a mile away. But by July 7th, I wrote in my diary, “I’m bored staying here!” So I visited the damaged area to assess the condition of my future “home.” The apartments were filthy but some were structurally intact. I chose one with a roof (!!!) and then went to speak to the head doctor of the hospital. I suggested I could clean up the place myself. He agreed, so the next day I moved my belongings and went to work!
For the next few days, I provided anesthesia services during the day under less than optimal conditions. Medications were in short supply, equipment was outdated and un-serviced. I had to be constantly alert for the types of problems I’d never encounter on the US continent. Evenings at “home” were just as challenging! The apartment was not air-conditioned and depended upon louvered windows (with no curtains) for air circulation. I had also quickly discovered my four- and eight-legged roomies! Roaches, rats and geckos had preceded me! I cleaned to discourage the roaches, repaired the cupboard bottoms which allowed constant access for the rats, and decided the geckos were my friends! So when I went to bed on July 11, 1992, I was exhausted!
Groggy confusion quickly gave way to pure terror. I screamed at him to get out, irrationally demanding to know who he was and what he wanted. As he slowly walked toward me, I sat up and wrapped myself in my bed sheet and grabbed my glasses. Then he plopped into the chair near my bed and said, “I just want to talk.” Right! Although it was quite dark in the room, I could see he was wearing only swim trunks. I demanded to know how he’d gotten in and he told me he’d broken in with his knife; then he reached for my cigarettes on the table and knocked over a glass of water at my bedside. It shattered on the floor. ….. Shorts. Knife. Broken glass….. No idiot would believe his intentions were to merely “talk” to me. My heart sank; I put my hand to my forehead wondering how I was going to get out of this alive. He asked, “what’s the matter?” “I’m tired,” I lied.
“I’ve gotta pee. Where’s your bathroom?” he asked.
“Right across from the door you broke into!” I barked.
The time had come. I waited until he got through the bedroom doorway then said I needed to get some water. Carefully, I got out of bed at the foot, avoiding the shattered glass. He didn’t turn. I hurried toward my kitchen, opened the outside door and ran! The slamming door alerted him, but he couldn’t have had time to pee- he chased me! Thankfully I had enough of a head start toward (hopefully) inhabited apartments. He saw where I was going, then turned and ran the other way.
The person who responded to my door banging called hospital security, who chased down the intruder and called the police. They brought him in handcuffs so I could ID him. But he looked me in the face and said, “It was me.” I asked him why, and he said he’d seen me through the windows and I’d looked “nice.” He was taken to jail briefly then sentenced to be publicly shunned. Several days later, the Assistant Attorney General of American Samoa called to tell me about how shunning is used to shame people for certain crimes when no physical injury had taken place. He said it works very well in their culture, as public avoidance causes much shame. He also asked me to please stay for my promised three months, as Samoans depended on their volunteers for health care. I assured him I had no intention of leaving.
Local people and my friends and family were very concerned and supportive. The emotional toll wasn’t a burden I could have easily carried without their help. Yet there were just a few who asked, “What’s the big deal? He didn’t hurt you, so. . . ?” But of course pain is rarely only physical. The comments and attitudes of those few still haunt me, just as the sight of the intruder’s knife left behind near my chair haunts me. They are just a tiny glimpse of what the “Silence Breakers” must face.
Donald Trump should be removed from office immediately.
This missive is not meant to convince you of Mr. Trump’s incompetency in his role as President of the United States. Your own eyes and ears have informed you of his instability, narcissism, paranoia and lack of a normal moral compass. You have no doubt felt waves of disbelief, disgust, and fear in your heart and gut as you witnessed his behavior, listened to his words, and read his “tweets.” Your internal body wisdom has been flashing a neon warning sign! Yet you have a job to do, a career to pursue. And so you have attempted to accommodate him and “give him a chance,” because after all, some of his beliefs mirror your own. And of course what can you accomplish for your constituents if you are not re-elected? But being co-opted into Mr. Trump’s mindset and allowing him to set normalcy standards of behavior and belief are not conducive to fulfilling your duties as our representatives. Neither will it be possible to try to work around him. He is a dangerous and unpredictable man. [Please read The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, October 2017, ed. Bandy Lee, MD. Contributors are 27 mental health experts who felt it was their civic and moral “duty to warn” us of the danger Mr. Trump presents to the USA in his presidential role.] Therefore it is incumbent upon each of you to ask yourself some difficult questions: Who am I? What do I believe? What are my most cherished goals? Each must be answered honestly (if only to yourself!) without prejudice or rationalization. Then remind yourself there is strength in numbers!
We, the people of the United States, have elected a group of wise, moral and powerful women and men to help us maintain and improve upon the nation our forefathers created for us. To do so, you must reclaim your power and become a united front! Together, your primary responsibility must be to help heal the divisiveness in our country. All other agendas must wait. A gentle, non-judgmental hand will be needed to accomplish so noble a goal. Keep in mind Mr. Trump won the presidency by acknowledging and validating the concerns and fears of some among us. That in itself is commendable for all who aspire to leadership, as the knowledge may be used to realistically address common concerns. But such was not Mr. Trump’s goal. He inflamed fear and anger while emboldening incivility toward one another. He encouraged scapegoating- blaming the “OTHER” for our problems. Then he decreed only he could help. Mr. Trump appeared to be understanding, empathetic. But his goal was to create an image that would buy him a win, the power of the presidency. The image is a sham.
By reclaiming your power and leadership, you who represent us in Congress can stand united and reject the “malignant normality” presented by Mr. Trump. [Terminology used by Robert Lifton, MD, in the aforementioned book. It refers to creating a culture in which abhorrent practices are deemed “normal.”] Using either impeachment proceedings or the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, you can reveal the sham Mr. Trump has engendered. By being truthful and sincerely empathetic yourself and by avoiding making Mr. Trump himself a scapegoat, you can remove him from office and prevent further damage to your integrity and the integrity of our country. Then through legislation and public discussions, you can encourage us to reaffirm that all human beings deserve dignity, respect and kindness. You have the power to empower, to remind us we are each in control of our own destiny; blame and shame have no useful place in our lives.
I beseech each of you to do your part as an elected and trusted leader of our country. Thank you for choosing to serve us.
With just one chance to care.
Our minds charge, “Be aware!
We must answer . . . . .
. . . . . with a prayer.
The need to love and be loved: our primal cry is just that simple and just that complex. Love demands much from us. Caring, compassion, kindness and commitment rank high among those requirements. Without love none of us would survive beyond birth. We need each other. Alone, we die. Together we flourish and have the opportunity to experience joy, hope purpose and contentment in our lives. Yet nothing is guaranteed. That means we have work to do!
Fully understanding who we are as human beings is our essential task. When I refer to us as “wholly holy humans,” I mean we are the embodiment of conscience and love [holy] with the instinct for personal and species survival [human.] These two primary aspects of human nature are permanently intricately intertwined. Nevertheless, tension exists between them. This tension may be thought of as a tug-of-war for dominance. Our holiness and our humanness are constantly competing for our attention as we choose how to view both the world and our place in it. This tension gives birth to most of the challenges we face throughout life.
Our personal and species survival rely upon our interdependence with each other, which in turn requires us to love and have compassion for one another. Meanwhile, our humanness decrees we want to define the terms for interdependence! Moreover, our definition of survival has become, “I want to be who I choose, live as I choose, while maintaining my self-esteem along with my reputation and status in society!” Each and every time we perceive our desires are threatened or under attack, we feel afraid.
Fear may lead to anger, antagonism, even war. But on a day-to-day basis, fear often lurks beneath our awareness, creating suspicion, hypervigilance, and anxiety. Such states of mind may lead us to misinterpret the people and circumstances in our lives. Too often, we don’t recognize our fear and ‘own’ it as an essential and useful part of who we are. Instead, because we have come to believe fear is a human weakness, we externalize it. Consequently we mislabel our fear (often in a self-serving or righteous manner!) then name a scapegoat.
Our scapegoats take many forms: another person; a group of people; natural and accidental events; a world view or a religion; a supernatural being like a devil. All become diversions which prevent us from correctly understanding our own issues and finding useful solutions to them. They waste our time, emotions and energy while leading us down a rabbit hole. We may war with our scapegoats, but we can never control them!
Fortunately there is another path. By recognizing and embracing who we are as human beings, we can actually nurture our holiness by putting our survival instinct to good use, the use for which it was intended! It is incumbent upon all of us to use our innate intelligence to continuously question our perceptions with self-honesty and an open mind. Our challenges were born within us. Their solutions must come from within. Voila! Control is in reach!
The people of Charlottesville, Virginia, who endured bearing witness to the consequences of fear run amuck while seeing events for what they really were, yet persevering with grace, dignity and forgiveness.
The people in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and all the Caribbean Islands who were in the path of recent hurricanes, along with those who came to provide assistance. The world was privileged to witness your struggle as you faced catastrophic conditions. You showed all of us the enormous capabilities of humanity, giving us hope. May your recovery be swift, your hearts lightened.
We must take care of ourselves before we can take care of others.
Together these truisms exemplify one approach toward living our best life possible. They tell us we must each nurture our own physical and mental health before we are capable of caring for another. Then we must meet our responsibilities to those closest to us- our families and communities- to the best of our ability. Furthermore, we should do so while recognizing and relying upon our interdependence with one another. Many of us prioritize our personal lives in this way, and we often apply the same truisms to any large body of people with whom we form an allegiance as well. For example, we may put the needs of our own country above the needs of other nations.
A. PLANET HEALTH: Gone are the days when we, as a much smaller number of human beings, could avail ourselves of the earth’s resources without much concern. Now, given the enormous growth in our population, we cannot deny our presence here affects the health of our planet, its ecosystem and atmosphere. It is essential for each of us to respect and nurture our environment. We are responsible for taking care of the only home we are likely to inhabit.
Try to imagine living in a world without our co-operation to maintain human rights. I doubt many of us would care to live in such a world. Our humanity must be cherished by all, for all. We can only hope to enjoy human rights if we are willing to protect them for everyone.
We have heard a great deal lately about putting “America First.” Our allegiance and commitment to our great country is honorable and commendable. Yet our first priority must always be to humanity and its survival. Our allegiances should and can be balanced within the larger reality. Our innate goodness and humanitarianism- the holiness in our humanity- will guide us.
I published this originally with the intention of addressing why the average person lies, how our lies affect us, and what we can do to change our behavior. This essay does NOT address those who are chronic liars or who have personality disorders. Those people are not likely to be amenable to either advice or treatment.
Until the lie was whispered.
Until the lie was confirmed.
Until the lie was repeated.
Until the lie was denied.
We tell ourselves stories: stories which include part reality, part perception, and lies- tiny lies, huge lies, self-serving lies. Sometimes we even lie to ourselves about why we tellthose lies. So can it be any surprise we lie to others? Why are we so dishonest?

Loss of taste sensation occurs in about 85 percent of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. A new Stanford study explored the problem.
The holidays are a time of feasting for many people. You might be thinking fondly right about now of a fantastic meal from last week (prime rib, anyone?) or eagerly anticipating a quiet lunch of leftovers. Not so for cancer patients recovering from chemotherapy. Not only can the treatment lead to nausea, many patients also lose their sense of taste and struggle to eat enough to support their recovery.
Stanford stem cell biologist Philip Beachy, PhD, and instructor Wan-Jin Lu, PhD, wondered about the role of a critical developmental signaling protein called Hedgehog in this loss of taste. Previous work in Beachy's lab showed that the Hedgehog signaling pathway is often misregulated in cancers, and treatment of certain tumors involves specifically blocking the Hedgehog pathway. They published new findings on taste last week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Loss of taste sensation occurs in about 85 percent of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and is a significant clinical issue because it causes loss of appetite, unwanted weight reduction, and complications in recovery. In addition to the widespread loss of taste from traditional cancer therapy, a particularly interesting manifestation of taste disturbance occurs in cancer patients treated with Hedgehog (Hh) pathway antagonists, which our lab discovered and helped develop.
Our sense of taste relies on taste receptor cells clustered in taste buds along our tongues. They're meant to let us know not just when things taste good, but also when something is spoiled or potentially toxic (no, I don't think you can count your cousin's noxious green bean casserole). Due to their role on the frontline of our digestive system, the taste receptor cells undergo a fairly high turnover rate -- dying and being replaced within a period of just a few days or weeks.
These taste receptors relay the taste information they sense to the brain via connections to a cranial ganglion (a cluster of nerve cells behind the ear). But information also flows in the other direction. In fact, it has long been known that the maintenance of the taste receptor cells requires this connection to the ganglion. Why this is hasn't been clear. Beachy and Lu studied laboratory mice to learn that drugs or genetic manipulations that block the response to the Hedgehog signal delivered by the nerves stops the regeneration of taste receptor cells, leading to an eventual die-off of the cells and a loss of taste.
We found that sensory organs critically rely on a signal, the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) protein, that is delivered to the tongue epithelium by ganglion neurons that send projections from their cell bodies into the tongue. The pattern of the projections carrying the Shh signal provides spatial guidance for the regeneration of taste organs.
Chemotherapy patients do eventually regain their sense of taste after their treatment is stopped, but it can take several weeks. Beachy and Lu showed that administering drugs that amp up the Hedgehog pathway signaling in mice caused a much more rapid regeneration of the taste receptor cells on the tongue.
"Our findings illustrate a new biological principle, namely, that stable and robust organ patterning in tissues with a high rate of turnover can be specified by neuronal delivery of a regenerative signal to precise locations," Beachy told me. "In addition, our findings suggest that pharmacologic Hedgehog pathway activation may provide a means to accelerate taste recovery in the many cancer patients who lose taste sensation after chemotherapy."

The species of the tuna fish we use for our products is Skipjack. Skipjack is one of the smallest members of tuna fish family. This tuna fish can readily be distinguished by the distinct horizontal stripes on its body. They are the most sustainable species of the tuna fish, which do not go extinct owing to a life span of 3 or 4 years that they have. Weighing about 2 to 5 kg, Skipjack does not contain heavy metals such as mercury in its body since it comes from tropical waters. Skipjack is a perfect source of nutrients with high amounts of protein and omega-3, and is one of the most delicious species among the tuna fish.
In all seafood, it is possible to find mercury residues depending on the age, size and hunting place of the fish. However, fish by Dardanel are caught with great care and with devotion in seas and in oceans not polluted with industrial or chemical wastes. We are very sensitive in this matter. Therefore, there is no risk of mercury in Dardanel tuna fish caught without harming the nature in the clean waters of the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean. Besides having no mercury risk, these fish, which have a life span of 3 to 7 years, are very useful for your health.
The most common catching method used for Tuna fish of Skipjack and Yellowfin species is the "Purse Seine" method. Tuna fish swimming in large shoals are surrounded by nets and sent to the -18 degree cold air store for freezing. By this way, the fish in our products meet you fresh from the sea.
Frozen aboard as soon as they get caught, our fish are first transferred to Canakkale Port, and then to the factory of Dardanel in Canakkale. Women from Canakkale working here carefully clean the skins and fishbones, and turn them into a fillet. Fillets are canned untouched, closed and then cooked. Nothing is introduced into the can other than water/oil and salt. Approved with due care by the quality control department, the products get ready for delivery.
Besides its superior quality standards, Dardanel contributes to local economy by providing job opportunities to 1000 women living in Canakkale.
Discover Our Story That Began in Canakkale.
To tell the truth, shoals of tuna fish have love affairs with dolphins. There is an incredible chemical attraction between the shoals of tuna fish and dolphins. Therefore shoals of dolphins are often spotted around the shoals of tuna fish. Special nets are used in our fishing vessels that allow dolphins to escape. This way, dolphins are not harmed. "Dolphin Safe" signs on Dardanel cans is a guarantee that no dolphin is harmed while we are catching tuna fish.

The Howey Mansion and guesthouse was the perfect weekend getaway for us. We drove from South Florida to get married, and the guesthouse was the most perfect spot imaginable for a private, undisturbed honeymoon! The 1920s furniture, antiques, and decor totally captured the essence of what it was like to live during this time period. The claw foot soaking bath tub was divine and the old Westinghouse ice box/fridge was interesting as well. At night we had a wonderful view of the outdoor fountain and hundreds of miniature lights twinkling above the courtyard. It was truly special, unique, and memorable in every way and we're already planning to return for our anniversary!

The prize comes with a $1,000 award that will be given at the ICA's 56th annual international conference in Dresden, Germany on June 21.
Burgoon is professor of communication and director of human communication research at the Center for the Management of Information at The University of Arizona. She is a noted authority on non-verbal communication, and may be the most prolific woman in her discipline. She has written or co-authored seven books and monographs and more than 240 articles, chapters and reviews. Her research centers on deception, non-verbal and interpersonal communication, which has been funded by grants from an array of government and private agencies.
She graduated with a doctorate from West Virginia University and has been on the UA faculty since 1984.
ICA also recognized her with B Aubrey Fisher Mentorship Award, one of several honors she's received for teaching. In 1999 she won the National Communication Association's Distinguished Scholar Award for her scholarship, the highest award given by that group.

Jeff Schneider, for one, said that contrary to popular belief, SOA is far from the trough of disillusionment, and says that "guerrilla" or small-project SOA only perpetuates the silo mentality that SOA is supposed to eradicate.
At the same time, Miko Matsumura said it's too premature to declare Enterprise SOA dead, because it will take time to evolve from its current state into something with more of an enterprise reach. Just as the solar system did not all form in one day.
Points well taken. Indeed, there are now plenty of organizations in which SOA is showing signs of taking hold as a transformative force, and benefits may be seen in relatively short order.
The bottom line is that organizations that really need SOA the most to reform and reshape their processes are the ones least likely to adopt SOA. For most of these organizations, service-orientation will be spotty, uneven, without purpose, and often without the full support of the enterprise -- or perhaps no support at all. There will be plenty of SOA proponents forced to go it alone, building success one process at a time. Guerrilla tactics may be the only way forward here.
Miko equates such localized efforts to the formation of individual planets, that exist within their own orbits until they eventually find ways to link to other planets within the same solar system. Or, as he puts it, "enterprise software has a planetary system–the guys from IT operations act like they are from another planet! The developers are from planet Koozbane... it’s not just the different branches of IT that form planets, the assortments of business units and even the central IT function are all different planets.... This may not be Enterprise (intergalactic) SOA, but at the very least Lifecycle SOA. Lets walk before we can run."
Another point Jeff made got me to thinking as well. As he put it, SOA implementations he has seen and helped develop are guided by a compelling vision. "Companies that I work with who take the time to think about what SOA means to them. They plan their community... And once they've figured out how to build a community they go do it. They don't do it for the entire enterprise all at once - that isn't what 'enterprise SOA' means. Instead, they partition their enterprise into a set of communities and attack them, often in parallel."
But right now, as countless surveys keep telling us, SOA still mainly resides within IT. IT may be a catalyst for organizational change, but shouldn't be expected to carry the torch of overall business transformation. The entire enterprise needs to be active in this effort.
As SOA helps reconstituted business succeed in the marketplace, market forces will compel the masses of companies with less-inspired management to follow suit.

The first image of Earth from lunar orbit.
Before an Apollo-era NASA could launch a few humans on top of a rocket and plop them down on the moon, it needed to find safe places to land.
So from 1966 through 1967, the space agency launched five spacecraft, which it creatively named Lunar Orbiters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Lunar Orbiter 1 was the first to swing around the moon. It automatically took film photos, processed and scanned them, then beamed the images back as radiowaves to receivers on Earth, where technicians recorded them onto analog data tapes.
On Aug. 23, 1966 - 50 years ago today - Lunar Orbiter 1 took the above photo: the first-ever of Earth rising up above the cold, bright dust of our planet's biggest satellite.
However iconic, it looks pretty crummy.
That's because 1960s technology couldn't access the full depth of the data NASA had on its tapes. So after printing out what it needed to select landing sites, the space agency mothballed the tapes in a Maryland storage unit.
"They changed hands several times over the years, almost getting tossed out before landing in storage in Moorpark, California," Doug Bierno wrote at Wired in 2014.
The tapes were well-kept, but the refrigerator-size tape drives - the only devices capable of accessing the data - had sat in the barn of Nancy Evans, a former NASA employee who saved them from going into the garbage, for the better part of a few decades.
A Sept. 2014 scene inside "McMoons," an old McDonald's used to digitize decades-old lunar images.
That is, until space entrepreneur Dennis Wingo found out about the situation through a web group in 2005.
Wingo immediately contacted Keith Cowing, a former NASA employee and founder of NASAWatch.com, for help.
The duo eventually launched the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP), which aimed to digitize the photos and make them public.
They received limited funding, rounded up technical help, and set up shop in a derelict McDonald's on the campus of NASA Ames Research Center - a place they came to call "McMoons."
McMoons flew a Jolly Roger pirate flag in its window and was steps away from part of an old ICBM missile.
Years later, LOIRP had recorded terabytes' worth of high-quality digital imagery.
"The resolution of our images vastly exceeds the original prints," Cowing told this reporter in 2012.
In 2008, the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP) released this high-resolution version of a Lunar Orbiter 1 photo of Earth from the moon, which was taken on Aug. 23, 1966.
And this is just one slice of the fully assembled image. That photo file is roughly 1.2 gigabytes in size - enough, Cowing told me, that "printed out at native resolution it would be larger than a standard billboard."
All of the photos are now publicly available as part of NASA's Planetary Data System, alongside images the USGS recovered in a separate digitization effort.
Cowing told Business Insider in 2015 that LOIRP donated all of its gear to the Library of Congress.
"[T]hat project is more or less at an end," he wrote in an email. "Not much happens [at McMoons] any more."

Sylivia Jeffreys has put those pregnancy rumours to bed, taking aim at a local publication who published paparazzi shots of the former Today show newsreader gently touching her stomach while out with a friend in Sydney's Double Bay.
In an article on Wednesday night, The Daily Mail showed images of 32-year-old Sylvia, with what they labelled an "emerging baby bump," and suggested that she might have something "to tell us".
Pregnancy rumours have surrounded the journalist and her husband of two years, Peter Stefanovic in recent times, and it appears she's finally had enough.
"Nope, not pregnant," says Sylvia Jeffreys.
Screenshotting and sharing the article to her Twitter feed and Instagram stories, Sylvia wrote: "Nope, not pregnant."
"The only one fuelling that rumour would be you, @DailyMailAU. But thanks for the subtle reminder to wear spanx on all casual outings."
And it's not just the publication who Sylvia dropped the mic on.
One Twitter commenter pointed out that Sylvia was touching her stomach, asking "What are we to expect?"
"That I was feeling very satisfied with my breakfast," was the television star's perfect response.
While it looks like there's no baby on the way, there's still big changes ahead for Sylvia and her husband, 37-year-old Peter Stefanovic who wed back in April 2017 after meeting on the set of Nine's Weekend Today in 2013.
For starters, Sylvia has announced that she will not return to Today in 2019.
In a statement to the Daily Telegraph in late 2018, Sylvia confirmed the rumours that her time on the Today desk had come to an end.
"I've loved and embraced every minute of my Today Show chapter and feel humbled to have worked with so many passionate people - hosts, studio crew, cameramen and producers - who have become my great mates. There are few shows that are fortunate to have such an engaged audience, and I thank our viewers for inviting me into their homes day after day," she said.
Peter, who has also announced his departure from the nine network in recent weeks, has previously spoken about his desire to start a family with his beautiful wife.
"It's something we both want to do," the 36-year-old revealed to news.com.au's podcast Balls Deep in July 2018.
Before adding: "I feel I'd be missing out if we didn't have a kid, but we're both pretty busy with our work at the moment."
Likewise, in November, 2017, Sylvia told The Australian Women's Weekly that she and Peter were keen to start their family and intend to raise their children in the same spirit with which they were raised – with lots of sun, sea and surf.
"We'd love a house full of kids."
"Our hope is that down the track, we could have a house on the Gold Coast so that our kids can have the same experiences with their cousins that we both had as kids with our cousins," she told The Weekly.
So, there may not be baby news yet, but one day those stomach touches will have exciting news for us, and we can't wait.

A lot of people are pecking & scratching around my door – They want to talk real estate. Some others have been knocking softly, and some are banging on it. That’s one way that I judge the market. I keep track of my peckers, knockers & bangers.
“The Peckers” are tentatively looking for more information, but are not yet convinced that now is the time to buy.
I’m betting that’s most of the “cautious readers” of this blog and numerous other real estate sites. There’s somewhere between 500 and 1,000 who read me at least once a week, or 2 to three times a month. I’m honored and flattered to have them as regular readers. There’s LOTS of people who have been here a couple of times or once over the last 6 months.
The buyers we call “The Knockers”, are preparing to get back in the market. They’re educated, and just need proof that the market has “hit the bottom.” NONE of you believe real estate is a dead game only for losers. We all know better.
“The Bangers” have prioritized educating themselves, are analyzing the housing inventory w/ a good Realtor, managing their credit & finances properly, and keeping a pulse on Las Vegas market timing via blogs like this one & others.
The early birds or early adaptors/contrarians are starting to come out of the woodwork & will make the most in this market’s up-turn. Those of you who are banging loudly at my door, asked me to set up a search for you. I’m e-mailing you dozens and dozens of homes that fit you needs and wants. You are studying them. You’ve told me to change the criteria of the search and knock out all the 2 stories, for example. You’re spending days off finding those houses for a drive by. You’re are also doing drives through the neighborhoods where those homes are. I know because you tell me what you’re seeing as “best options” are narrowing down. You’re ready to buy now, and are making the best choices.
You took a drive with me to tell you what I know about this neighborhood or that one. We went into two homes. One priced at the very lowest and one at the very highest of your price range.
You’ve made ABSOLUTELY sure of what kind of loan you’re getting, how much money you’ll need and what is the absolute highest monthly payment you can afford. Then you’ve worked with Steve, or another lender & figured out how much home you can afford and still have a vacation or whatever.
NOTE : One of the things that we can do now with the NEW LOOK is split the posts into segments so as not to eat up too much “front page, above the fold” real estate on this blog. This is actually part ONE of a 4 PART series that will be published over the next few days. To finish reading Part ONE, click on “read more” below.
When you felt confident that you were BUYING WISELY, you called me again and said you were ready to sign a buyer broker agreement, and to actively spend as much time in my car as it took to find the right property for you. Then I get to negotiate the best possible deal for you (THAT’S MY FAVORITE PART). You’ll succeed nicely in the next cycle of Vintage Las Vegas Real Estate.
The process is the same way out there in the suburbs and everywhere in between. Though I totally focus myself on “Very Vintage Vegas”, I have excellent agent friends who know the suburbs like I know Vintage Vegas. Brad, who you’ll find by clicking the previous link is one such agent/expert in the Silverado Ranch area. Please let him know you found him on VeryVintageVegas.com!
Out in the suburbs there’s plenty of deals priced like it was 2004. There’s plenty of very nice homes at 2005 prices. And there’s plenty of homes that are beautiful! (in a suburban way), or still have a cool hip, interesting, fun, carefree, well built or very well maintained aspect to them, (even if they’re in Summerlin or Green Valley). Out in the suburbs, it’s just like it is in Vintage Vegas.
Except of course, we have big trees on big lots. Our neighbors don’t hear our toilets flush. We only drive 10 minutes to work or to the airport or to the University. Our homes don’t look just like our neighbor’s, and we have to spend money to modernize the homes unless we buy one that is already modernized. I can help to set you up with one of our suburban agents also, if you’re inclined to be looking in the suburbs.
No matter which category you are (Pecker, Banger, or Knocker); we invite you to contact us.
