Spiritual Discernment: Chapter 7, Is
- Chapter Seven Is God is. That is the ultimate of spiritual wisdom. There is only God. Nothing else is; nothing else exists; nothing else has presence; nothing else has power. We could even eliminate the word God and just say, "Is." That which Is, is; and that which Is, is all that is; and the only time that anything can be Is, is now. Is cannot take place yesterday. Is cannot take place tomorrow. The only place for Is, is here; and the only time for Is, is now. Nothing is except here, and nothing is except now. In that realization we are released instantly from any mental attempt to make anything happen or appear. Heretofore while we have known, or at least agreed, that God is, we have also undertaken to heal, reform, enrich, or employ those who turn to us for help through some kind of mental or spiritual process. We are released from that in the realization of Is. No one can make something happen in the future, if now is the only time; and if now is God's time, no one can even make something happen now. The whole practice becomes the continuous recognition of Is. Infinity is; immortality is; life is; harmony is; wholeness is; completeness is: "That which I am seeking, I am."1 After years of study we come to a state of consciousness where the weight falls off our shoulders and we no longer labor under the heavy responsibility of trying to save anyone. Now we rest in the truth that God's work is done: completeness is; perfection is; harmony is. And what about the world of error? It is the illusion of sense that goes on and will go on forever in the minds of those who struggle under a sense of separation from God and a sense that there is a selfhood apart from God to be redeemed or to be saved. When we arrive at that state of consciousness, we are the light unto all who turn to us. We cannot be a light running around the universe looking for someone to light up any more than a lighthouse has to run around the ocean looking for ships. It stands still, and the ships ...

Spiritual Power of Truth: Chapter 2, Before Abraham
- CHAPTER 2 "Before Abraham" IMPERSONALIZE GOD and what do you have? You have divine Being, universally expressing Itself, universally manifesting Itself; before Abraham was, and unto the end of the world. This is what you get when you impersonalize God: you get infinite, divine Being, from the so-called beginning to the so-called ending. You also discover that there was no beginning, as there will be no ending, for life is a circle. It never began. It never ends. It Is! Before Abraham, It Is; unto the end of the world, It Is. It Is I AM! I AM! Before Abraham was, I Am! As one mystic said, "Before God was, I am"; and this is Truth. Before there was such a thing as a God concept in anyone's mind, I am. Someone else has said, "If there were not a God, man would have to make one." Do you not see that this only promotes that we might live forever in darkness, that we have to make up a God, that we have to form a concept of God, that we have to have some image or idea, in our mind, of God? God is invisible, indescribable, incorporeal, infinite, from everlasting to everlasting, and who can draw a picture of that? Who can invent a word to encompass that? The only word that has ever been shown forth that set men free is that word I! Whenever it was revealed, the veil was removed. Whenever God was personalized and finitized, or made an image in this or that religion, the veil was on again. Why could the mystic see that God is closer than breathing, nearer than hands and feet, when there is nothing closer than breathing but I myself? We are to relax, to rest, in this consciousness, the creative Principle of life, the Reality of life, the Omnipresence, Omnipotence, and Omniscience that Is within me. Closer than breathing Is the Selfhood of me. Relax in It and let It perform Its work. This also shows you why it was said, "He performeth that which is given me to do, He perfecteth that which concerneth me." There is always this He, that is within me, that we identify as not a "He" ...

The Art of Meditation: Chapter IX, The Silver Is Mine
- CHAPTER IX THE SILVER IS MINE The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts. HAGGAI 2:8, 9 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. PSALMS 127:1 "Except the Lord build the house," unless God is understood to be the source of our supply, there is no permanent supply. This "house" is our individual consciousness: When this consciousness is unenlightened human consciousness, it is barren; it lacks the spiritual substance from which supply flows. "Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes." All this is true of you-"ye," the unenlightened consciousness. As human beings, we all have sown much and reaped little; we have worked hard and many times accomplished nothing; we have earned wages and often have had nothing left, because all this came from an unenriched, barren consciousness. Out of the barrenness of human consciousness, regardless of what we build, our efforts are not permanent or lasting. We eat, and hunger again; we drink, and thirst again; we engage in all the activities of human life, but nothing endures. "It is vain . . . to rise up early, to sit up late" trying to demonstrate supply. Then we are told: "Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways." With this admonition, comes the instruction to go up to the mountain: to go up into a high state of consciousness; to go into the high places, and from there "bring wood, and build the house." Every time we meditate or fill ourselves with "the meat ye know not of" or the water of life or the wine of life, or the bread of life, meaning spiritual substance and food, we are building the house of spiritual consciousness, a consciousness of truth. When that house has been built, the Lord says, "I ...

The Heart of Mysticism: June 1957, The Secret of The Healing Principle
- CHAPTER SIX: JUNE The Secret of the Healing Principle SPIRITUAL healing is based on an understanding of the spiritual principle of life. This principle is that God maintains and sustains the universe, including every person in it, in absolute integrity. Contrary to that teaching is the world of appearances, the dreamworld, a mesmeric world which has no law to support it, no substance to sustain it, and no continuity except such as we, in our ignorance, give it. Once this truth is perceived, you will have a healing principle which will stand, regardless of the nature of the problems that are brought to you. This does not mean that you will heal everybody or every condition, not because the principle is not adequate to meet every situation, but because the people involved are not yet ready to live this principle or to live by this principle; they are not ready to give up those things which would interfere with the demonstration of the principle. In other words, Jesus, himself, did not attempt to take the rich man into heaven. It was not because of the man's wealth, in and of itself, but because the man's faith, confidence, and hope were in his wealth; all his expectations and hopes in life were based on the amount of his possessions, and such a man cannot be lifted into spiritual consciousness. So it is that there are people seeking healing, but seeking only the healing of their pains and discords, not a spiritual healing which would transform their lives. This principle is so absolute, however, that given a fair opportunity with anybody who is at all receptive to the spiritual way of life, harmony will be brought into the experience of that person, and he will come into spiritual enlightenment. The Fabric of "This World" The principle which is the secret of all healing is an understanding of the nature of error. Error is never a person; it is never a thing; it is never a condition. Therefore, never take into your thought, or attempt to handle in thought, a person, ...

The Master Speaks: Chapter 9, A High Form of Treatment
- ~ 9 ~ A HIGH FORM OF TREATMENT We must come to the realization that we are adults, and that we should be able to stand on our own two feet without being dependent on some one or some thing. This spiritual independence is achieved through the realization of our oneness with God: "I and my Father are one." This oneness with the Father constitutes my oneness with every spiritual being and idea. Therefore, I need not seek my good or be concerned about my good, because my oneness with God constitutes my good. It constitutes the law of attraction, bringing to me all that is necessary for my unfoldment, for the revelation of my true being, for my daily experience. Right where I am, God is. Right where I am, the allness of God is. This ever presence of God makes me independent of person, place, thing, circumstance, condition, or relationship. Wherever I am, the fullness of God is revealing Itself. The place whereon I stand is holy ground. Right here, right now, the allness of God is made manifest as my individual experience, and the awareness of this truth is the law unto that experience. I and the Father are one. In this oneness is my self-completeness. I am, therefore, Self-maintained; I am Self-sustained. The Self of me, the Reality of me, maintains and sustains me, supports and upholds me, teaches me, enlightens me, enriches me. This truth is a light unto my path. This truth is my salvation. The awareness of this truth-the conscious awareness of this truth-sets me free from human dependence. I am in the world, but not of it. I enjoy all the experiences, all the relationships, all the joys, all the companionships, that are a part of God's spiritual creation. And yet I am free. All those with whom I come in contact are free-free to enjoy each other, but not to hold each other in any sense of bondage, physical, mental, moral, or economic. Each one is free in Christ. I find my freedom in Christ. I find my economic freedom, my political freedom, my physical freedom, my moral ...

Collected Essays of Joel Goldsmith: Love
- ... We close the door on Love in that way when we pray ONLY for Mother or Father or child or friend or relative. When we learn to pray for our enemy as we are taught to do in the Master's teachings, when we learn to pray the prayer of forgiveness for all those who offend us, we then find Love coming to us through unexpected avenues and channels. We, ourselves, limit the amount of Love that ordinarily would be flowing freely to us because we limit it, first of all, to man, and secondly, only to those men and women who comprise our friendly circle. When we go further afield, when we look not only to friends but even to foes for our Love, through the prayer of forgiveness, we widen that circle, and even more so as we realize God is the fount of ALL Love . . . God is the SOURCE of ALL Love. Therefore, it is to God and ONLY to God that we look for Love. This ... Once we lift our gaze above the human avenues and channels of supply and realize GOD as the source of Love and, therefore, as the source of supply, we begin to open the way for Love to come to us from many new sources. FORGIVENESS WE HAVE LOOKED to man for forgiveness for our offenses, our trespasses, our sins. Often, through acts of commission or omission, we have been unloving, unjust, unkind; and sometimes, if possible, we look to those whom we have offended for forgiveness. In many instances, they have gone so far out of our experience that we have no way of reaching them in order to seek their forgiveness. Actually, there is no need of our seeking forgiveness of any man. It is well that we apologize, if we have offended. It is well if we ask forgiveness. It is not important whether or not we receive it. The important point is that we look to GOD for forgiveness . . . NOT to man. As long as we look to God for forgiveness, we will be released through man. Therein lies the miracle . . . that even those who, to human sense, would withhold forgiveness, can no longer withhold it when we have sought it in God. LOVE IS ...

Consciousness Transformed: September 28, 1963, Two Covenants
- TWO COVENANTS September 28, 1963 Honolulu, Hawaii GOOD AFTERNOON. There are two covenants: the human and the divine, the mental and the spiritual, and there is absolutely no way for the human being to pray to God or make contact with God. The only contact there can be with God is in silence, and that does not mean the absence of noise. It means the silencing of human will and personal desire. Spiritual silence, "be still and know," has no reference to sound. Be still means to have no will or desire of your own. Keep your humanhood still and then be willing that the grace of God fill your consciousness. How it will appear in the outer form you will have no possible way of knowing. It really is a mystery, and how it is accomplished is an even greater mystery. When the work of The Infinite Way started in California, none of us believed that it would ever extend outside of California. As a matter of fact it was a surprise when the work moved up as far as Northern California, and when we were functioning there none of us dreamed of going outside of that state. Actually it was a great surprise when I was invited to Portland, Oregon! And so it has been ever since-a surprise. Only an act of divine grace could have continued moving us from place to place to place, until the globe was circled. When you go to God it must be with no thoughts and with no desire. You go to God to attune yourself to God's grace and, whatever form it takes, that is what you must follow. There will always be a divided world and an unsuccessful world as long as people are praying for things, conditions, persons. I know through the healing work that you cannot pray for persons. It has always been horrible to me to think of God healing Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Smith, but not healing Mrs. Jones. No, in healing work the person who has asked for help has attuned to your consciousness and, when you are spiritually attuned, they are spiritually attuned and receive the benefits of that attuning. It is for this ...

Living Between Two Worlds: Chapter 1, Opening The Door To Infinity
- ~ 1 ~ OPENING THE DOOR TO INFINITY CIVILIZATIONS HAVE COME AND GONE; civilizations have lived and died; and there is no guarantee that our present civilization will be permanent. At some future time, a new race of men may find parts of these cracker boxes we call buildings and homes, and they may even discover rock-and-roll records that bear witness to our state of civilization. The point is that just as other civilizations have passed from sight, so many more may also pass from sight before the truth that every mystic has revealed is discovered and demonstrated, which is that man has inherent within himself the capacity to surrender such protective measures as self-preservation and to open the door within his consciousness and receive the Spirit of God. There are two levels of consciousness. There is the spiritual, incorporeal level as described in the first chapter of Genesis. On this level, man created in the image and likeness of God shows forth neither sin, disease, death, lack, limitation, nor any of man's inhumanity to man. Those born into the consciousness of the first chapter of Genesis have neither father nor mother. They are the Melchizedek-consciousness: they are not physical offspring, and they have no human parentage. They are incorporeal. But those born of human parents are born into the level of the second-chapter- of-Genesis creation, the world of mind, the mortal consciousness of good and evil, which constitutes humanhood. It is this humanhood that makes us think that by destroying our enemy or competitor we can live and prosper, or that by taking away somebody's freedom we can become greater. A leaven is necessary to break through the crust of self-preservation. This leaven is the Spirit of God in man, which, when It * is raised up, lifts man to Its level; and then, instead of "man, whose breath is in his nostrils," 1 we now have the son of God, that man who has his being in Christ. The Master acknowledged that there are two men: the man of ...

Living by Grace: Chapter 6, The Infinite Way Concept of God
- CHAPTER 6 THE INFINITE WAY CONCEPT OF GOD Let us start with the realization that we do not know God. It is not always easy to admit this. When the inner unfoldment came to me that I did not know God, I remember I found it quite insulting. I thought I had a very good idea of God. When the V oice told me I did not know God, I was already in the healing ministry and was achieving some measure of success in it. But when the V oice tells you something, there is no use arguing with It because It knows best! There was only one thing to do, and that was to acknowledge that I did not know God aright. In The Oxford Book of English Mystical Work, the revelations of English mystics, from the earliest to the most modern times, are given, showing how God revealed Himself or Itself to them and how they became acquainted with God and were able to be at peace forever after. So let us begin anew and admit that we do not know God. Let us ask ourselves, "How can I come into an understanding of the nature of God?" I cannot reveal it to you, and you cannot reveal it to me. In these past years, I may have had many wonderful experiences with God, and yet I cannot convey to you what God is. In your own experience, you may have marvelous experiences with God, actually coming face-to-face with God, but that will not enable you to tell someone else what God is. There is only one way we may be taught of God. Only God can reveal to us what He is, and each one must learn it from the Kingdom of God within himself or herself. In case you do not know why I say, "Turn within," let me refer you again to the Master, who tells us that the Kingdom of God is within you. Therefore, whatever it is that you seek, seek it within you or you will not find it. So we seek the Kingdom of God within ourselves; we seek within ourselves to understand the nature of God. We do this by turning within during our quiet periods of the day or night and speaking to God and asking Him, "God, reveal Thyself," just as the ...

Showing Forth the Presence of God: Chapter 7, Freedom Through Grace
- ... It is through prayer that we must make our contact with God, and it is through the right understanding of prayer that the activity, the grace, the love, and the life of God are made manifest in our experience. This brings us to that particular phase or understanding of prayer which is called grace. We ourselves cannot bring forth the activity of grace, since grace is the gift and the activity of God. Self-Effacement Grace is something that expresses in us or through us. Grace is something that comes to us without our deserving It, without our being worthy of It. Grace is what happened to the thief on the cross, who certainly from no human standpoint was deserving of being taken into heaven that day. Yet the Master promised to do just that, showing that divine grace had not only wiped out the sins of the thief, but also all the punishment due for these sins. What was it that enabled that thief in just a short while to prepare himself for the experience of heaven, for the action of grace and forgiveness in his life? Humility. In his final moment of distress, he must have realized, "Why, I am nothing. I should have let this divine power flow through me, and none of the evil deeds would have been necessary." The thief on the cross must have recognized what a failure he had been. There is nothing more productive of progress in the spiritual universe than to acknowledge Jesus' statement, "I can of mine own self do nothing." 2 "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true." 3 Such an admission of his own inability to do might seem like failure, but he recognized there was that within him that could do all things: "The Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." 4 We make way for that divine power to come forth in proportion to our acknowledgment that we can do nothing, know nothing, heal nothing, supply nothing, be nothing, even be failures, but that we live, not of ourselves but the Christ lives our life. "I and my Father are one," 5 but the Father is greater ...

Bengal cats can never be described as delicate. They are athletes, graceful and agile with a powerful, muscular body appropriate for a cat that resembles a jungle cat.

Since they want to stay active, they require a house that can accommodate their vigor. You can have a loving, intelligent cat who can keep you on your toes if you can satisfy the Bengal’s need for exercise. It’s important to keep in mind that cats of any breed may experience health problems at any time in their lives.

Although one of his ancestors was the small, wild Asian leopard cat, the Bengal is a domestic cat through and through, despite having a distinctively spotted coat and a large size that give him the appearance of a wild cat on the prowl. The scientific name of the Asian leopard cat, Felis bengalensis, is where Bengal cats get their name.
They were developed by breeding domestic shorthairs with Asian leopard cats, which were available in pet shops in the 1950s and 1960s. The first person to do such a cross was a breeder in California named Jean Mill, but she wasn’t doing it to start a new breed. So that she wouldn’t be lonely, she had bought a leopard cat and allowed her to keep company with a black tom cat.
She wasn’t expecting the two species to mate, so she was surprised when kittens appeared. Mill kept the spotted female of the litter. She gave birth to a litter of solid and spotted kittens when bred back to her father. At around the same time, Dr. Willard Centerwall of Loyola University was breeding domestic cats with Asian leopard cats.
Researchers were curious to learn if the leopard cats’ resistance to the feline leukemia virus could be passed on to hybrid offspring. The development of the cats as a breed attracted the interest of numerous breeders. There was Mill among them. She had stopped cat breeding due to changes in her life, but she was now prepared to start up again. She sought out suitable males to breed with some of Dr. Centerwall’s hybrids that she had acquired.
One was a domestic shorthair orange that she discovered in India, of all places, and the other was a brown tabby with spots that she got from a shelter. Bengals are now regarded as being identical to domestic cats, so it is recommended that any Bengal purchased be at least four generations removed from any ancestors who had wild bloodlines.
The International Cat Association was the first cat organization to officially recognize the Bengal breed, giving it experimental status in 1983 and full recognition in 1991. The United Feline Organization, the Canadian Cat Association, and the American Cat Fanciers Association all recognize the Bengal. Bengal cats are so prized that a British woman paid more than $50,000 for hers in 1990, referring to them as the “Rolls Royce” of feline companions. Bengal cats are extremely rare.
It’s a medium-sized to large cat. Bengal cats can weigh up to 15 pounds.
The Bengal is a very intelligent and active animal. He can be difficult at times, but this makes him enjoyable to live with. Overall, the Bengal is a self-assured, chatty, sociable, and watchful cat. He notices everything. He enjoys playing games, such as fetch, and is a pro at picking up new skills. It’s a good thing he doesn’t have opposable thumbs because his dexterous paws are almost as good as hands because he would probably rule the world.
Bengal cats that are bored may also develop some unusual (and occasionally destructive) behaviors, such as turning on and off light switches, snagging seals in drains, and gleefully removing CDs from your DVD player. The Bengal enjoys playing in the water and won’t hesitate to accompany you into the shower or tub. He may endanger pond and aquarium fish with his cunning paws.
He also enjoys climbing and is frequently seen perched on the highest shelf in the house. For this cat, puzzle toys that will test his intelligence and at least one tall cat tree are necessities. The affectionate Bengal will be happy to sit on your lap on the infrequent occasions when he isn’t swinging from chandeliers or swimming in your pool. He will obviously sleep in your bed with you. He does indeed steal the covers.
Pedigreed and mixed-breed cats both have varying rates of health issues that could be genetic in origin. Although Bengals generally have good health, the following ailments have been reported in the breed:
- Distal neuropathy is a nervous system condition that makes people feel weak. Bengals can develop it as early as the first year of life. Fortunately, many cats bounce back on their own, though occasionally they do.
- Flat-chested kitten syndrome is a birth defect that can range in severity. When they are mature, kittens who live to adulthood typically don’t exhibit any signs.
- Hip dysplasia, which can become lame in severe cases
- A heritable form of heart disease in some breeds is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
- Patellar luxation is a mild to severe hereditary dislocation of the kneecap. Surgery can be used to treat severe cases.
- Degenerative eye disease known as progressive retinal atrophy.
No matter how healthy your cat initially appears to be, you should be ready for any problems that might arise over the course of their lifetime. You can be prepared for any veterinary needs your cat may have with the aid of a pet insurance policy.
The Bengal’s short, dense coat requires only weekly combing to remove dead hair and distribute skin oils. Rarely is a bath necessary. To prevent periodontal disease, brush your teeth. Although daily brushing is preferred, once a week is still preferable to never. Twice a month, trim your nails. To get rid of any discharge, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the corners of your eyes.
To prevent the spread of any infection, use a different area of the cloth for each eye. Each week, check your ears. If they appear to be dirty, clean them with a cotton ball or soft, damp cloth dipped in a 50/50 solution of warm water and cider vinegar. Cotton swabs shouldn’t be used because they can harm the ear’s interior. Maintain a spotless litter box.
Cats are extremely picky when it comes to bathroom hygiene, so a filthy litter box might make them start using other areas of the house instead. A Bengal should only be kept indoors to prevent him from contracting illnesses from other cats, being attacked by dogs or coyotes, and other risks that face cats who go outside, like being hit by a car. Keeping him inside also safeguards neighborhood wildlife and birds from this hunter.
If at all possible, construct a sizable outdoor enclosure for your Bengal so that he can jump and climb securely. Bengals who venture outside also run the risk of being taken by a person who wants to own such a stunning cat without having to pay for it.
Coat Design and Maintenance
Bengals can never be described as delicate. He has a strong, muscular body and is athletic, as befits a cat that appears to belong in the jungle. He is also graceful and agile. His broad head has rounded edges and a modified wedge shape that is longer than it is wide. It has medium-sized to small, relatively short ears that are positioned to the side of the head. Nearly round eyes with an oval shape.
A long, muscular neck connects the head to the body. Medium-length legs with large, rounded paws that are slightly longer in the back than the front support the body. A thick, medium-length tail with a black tip tapers at the end. A Bengal’s spotted belly is another characteristic that is visible when it rolls over. The Bengal’s short, thick pelt, which is luxuriously soft and silky to the touch, adds to its wild appearance.
It is available in a variety of hues and patterns, such as brown tabby, seal silver lynx point, black silver tabby, and seal mink tabby. The coat can be marbled, with horizontal stripes placed randomly on a lighter background, or it can be spotted randomly or in horizontal patterns. The coat of some Bengals is referred to as “glittered.” The fur appears to be dusted with gold dust as it shimmers in the light.
Kids and other animals
For households with young children and canines who get along with cats, the energetic and sociable Bengal is ideal. He can play fetch just as well as any retriever, picks up new tricks quickly, and enjoys the attention from kids who are kind to him. He is aware enough to avoid toddlers, but he prefers school-aged kids because they match his enthusiasm and curiosity.
Nothing terrifies him, especially not dogs, and if they don’t bother him, he will happily make friends with them. Always introduce new pets slowly and in a supervised environment, even other cats. Bengal cats, like many other active cats, have a high prey drive and shouldn’t be trusted around smaller prey animals like guinea pigs, smaller rabbits, and hamsters.

|Article Title||Are people in prisons offenders or patients?: The Eysenck three-factor personality trait explanation|

This study examined the question of whether people locked up in prisons are offenders or patients against the background of Eysenck three-factor personality trait theory. This was predicated on the assumption that prisoners when compared with normal control group will be different on personality measures and psychopathology; and also, that prisoners with high PEN will suffer more psychological disturbances than prisoners with LOW PEN. The result was able to justify and support Eysenck's theory that criminals are born and not made and therefore should be regarded more of patients than offenders, therefore a treatment approach should be practised as against the current practise of punishment in many societies particularly in Nigeria.

Having an ACL reconstruction can throw a major wrench into your life. The surgery is complicated, and the rehab program can feel daunting. With a projected return to sport timeline hovering around 9 months to a year depending on your injury, it can feel like you are destined for a year of struggle.
This is a common concern before surgery, and a common fear in the first few weeks after surgery. Your knee is swollen, walking is a chore, and sometimes you even need to wear a big bulky brace. The good news is, with proper rehabilitation, you should be back to the gym in a much shorter timeframe.
Approximately over 250,000 people tear their ACL every year, with the most at-risk population being young female athletes.1 Despite being a common injury, every ACL reconstruction rehabilitation is different. Protocols depend on graft type, concomitant injuries like meniscus or MCL, and surgeon preference. For this reason, ACL protocols need to be a combination of both criteria-based and time-based. From a criteria-based perspective, physical therapists need to make sure athletes can get back to squatting, jumping, landing, cutting, and all other sport-related tasks with good mechanics to set them up for success as they return to sports. From a time-based perspective, physical therapists need to consider tissue healing time and appropriate tissue loading. Each athlete achieves their objective criteria at different times. It can take anywhere from 6 months to 24 months post op for athletes to get back to full participation, with a majority of athletes returning to sport between the 9- and 12-month mark.
“I don’t really have the words right now, definitely not the right ones at least,” this was the quote from Odell Beckham Jr. following his 2nd ACL tear during Superbowl LVI. Most people know that an ACL tear is a common knee injury that requires a long, tenacious recovery. Once an ACL is torn, the risk of re-tear or tearing the opposite side is 20-35% more likely4. The above statistic may be alarming and is why ACL reconstruction rehabilitation needs to be taken very seriously.
Healing time and recovery following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery may be based on multiple factors, which can encompass everything from prior fitness level to activity goals, surgical procedure, and post-operative protocol guidelines. However, there are a few general guidelines common to many patients, and the timeline below offers a reference for post-surgical expectations following an ACL injury.

Type 2 diabetes is causally associated with depression: a Mendelian randomization analysis
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been associated with a high prevalence of depression. We aimed to determine the causal relation by performing a Mendelian randomization (MR) study using 34 T2D risk genetic variants validated in East Asians as the instrumental variable (IV). An MR analysis was performed involving 11 506 participants from a large longitudinal study. The T2D genetic risk score (GRS) was built using the 34 typical T2D common variants. We used T2D_GRS as the IV estimator and performed inverse-variance weighted (IVW) and Egger MR analysis. The T2D_GRS was found to be associated with depression with an OR of 1.21 (95% CI: 1.07–1.37) after adjustments for age, sex, body mass index, current smoking and drinking, physical activity, education, and marital status. Using T2D_GRS as the IV, we similarly found a causal relationship between genetically determined T2D and depression (OR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.25–2.70). Though we found no association between the combined effect of the genetic IVs for T2D and depression with Egger MR (OR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.42–2.14), we found an association for T2D and depression with IVW (OR: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.31–2.46) after excluding pleiotropic SNPs. Overall, the MR analyses provide evidence inferring a potential causal relationship between T2D and depression.

Tempel The Moon Lit Our Path on 2LP + Download
After making waves with their debut album On the Steps of the Temple, Arizona-based instrumental duo Tempel return with their sophomore album, The Moon Lit Our Path. Correlating with their most momentous and intense work to date, the release consists of five colossal tracks that fuse haunting blackened post-metal melodies with progressive accents and atmospheric tinges. The meticulously hand-painted artwork was completed by illustrator Lucas Ruggieri (Kylesa, Dragged Into Sunlight, Cough).
“We poured ourselves into this album,” commented guitarist/keyboardist Ryan Wenzel. Drummer Rich Corle added, "The new album represents a big evolution in all aspects of our work. The goal was to make sure everything was constantly moving in these songs. We didn’t want anything to interrupt the forward momentum.”
Founded in 2003 as a full band, the group eventually dwindled down to its remaining two core members in 2006. Instead of pursuing new additions, Wenzel and Corle decided to continue on as a two-piece instrumental band and focus their craft in the recording studio. Blending the darker elements of metal with the melodic, the duo continued to construct demos for their self-released debut which Prosthetic re-released in 2014 to critical acclaim. The six-track record introduced the band’s distinctive sound thunderously heavy instrumentals that mix progressive, black, death and post-metal into one mammoth sonic cocktail.

The YCL-450 intermediate model clarinet incorporates some of the distinct qualities of Yamaha's professional and custom clarinets. One of these features is a 65mm barrel design that produces a focused tone and quick response. Players looking to “step-up” their performance will do just that with this instrument.
The YAS280 saxophone offers a perfect start or upgrade because they are designed with the student in mind. Relatively light-weight and ergonomically shaped, they are easy to hold and to play.
The intonation is perfect, as you would expect from Yamaha, and it is easy to get a great sound. The Yamaha design offers students optimum support, thus greatly assisting both learning progress and creativity.
Based on the highly recommended YAS275 saxophone the new YAS280 is even further enhanced with a new, more stable neck receiver and a new low B-C# connection for better adjustment.
A superb starter saxophone in its own class! Double award winner – Music Industries Association.
The Horn Classic is becoming a classic! Look at the quotes below which speak for themselves. This is a great starter sax and highly recommended.
“The sound of the “The Horn” is warm and has a good quality of tone. It has uniformity from the low notes to the high. It has to be said that its sound is delightful and characterised by the perfect delivery of a wide range of tonal colours. This saxophone comes close to the professional instrument but remains at the price of students.

Chronic disease is Australia’s biggest health hurdle
New report shows national struggle with preventable chronic illnesses.
Chronic disease is the leading cause of illness, disability and death in Australia with one in two of us suffering from ailments such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
The Australian Health Policy Collaboration recently released stats from its National Health Tracker, a report card on preventable chronic diseases, conditions and their risk factors in 2016.
In Australia, a male born in 2011–2013 can expect to live to the age of 80.1 years and a female to 84.3 years.
While life expectancy is high, the report suggests Australia is well behind comparable countries in tackling the risks and burdens associated with preventable chronic diseases.
63.4% of the country's adult population and 71.4% of the Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander adult population is overweight or obese. Almost a quarter (23%) of Australia's adult population has high blood pressure and this trend is growing.
More than two-thirds (44.5%) of our adult population isn't meeting physical activity recommendations and almost a quarter (23.5%) of adults with mental illness smoke daily.
While Australia is one of the best performing countries for low rates of smoking – ranking 4th out of 34 OECD countries – overall data suggests we are not tracking well to hit 2025 health targets.
There has been a steady rise in the number of emergency department presentations (estimated alcohol injuries) over the years, with the latest data revealing 5.7 males in every 1,000 and 3.4 females in every 1,000.
Death rates from chronic diseases in adults (30-70 years) currently stands at 207 deaths per 100,000 people. This is well above the 2025 target of 166 in every 100,000 Australians.
Australia's suicide rate is 12 in every 100,000. The rate among Indigenous and Torres Strait Islanders is almost double (20.3). This is well above the 2025 national target of 9.8 deaths in every 100,000 people.
There's also significant room for improvement in terms of health among the youth of Australia.

Do you have to soak dal before cooking?
Firstly collect the dal in a bowl and wash it with water. Let the dal remain soaked for 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the type of dal. Split pulses can be soaked for 30 minutes or 1 hour and whole pulses should be soaked for 2 hours. This will not only break down complex carbs but will also cut down cooking time.
What is Tarka dal made of?
Dal Tadka (aka Tarka Daal or Dal Fry) is a popular north Indian dish that’s made with split chickpeas (chana dal) or other dried split pulses and mixed with a blend of savory spices. Whole spices are infused in oil (this is called Tarka or Tadka), which is then drizzled over the dal.
What’s the difference between dal and Tarka Daal?
Dal tadka made with lentils, tomatoes, onion and some spices. As stated above generally rentio toor dal is used as a lentil. Now, tadka is made with the help of mustard seeds, cumin seeds and chilies with ghee which is poured over the top and mixed through the dal.
Does toor dal need to be soaked?
Does toor dal need to be soaked? You should always wash toor dal before you cook it, because the dal may contain chemicals. A key point on how to cook toor dal is you should soak it in water for at least 20 minutes. The more time you soak it, the better.
How long soak dal before cooking?
Soak the lentils and beans, 8 hours or overnight. Rinse under cold water. Add the soaked lentils, beans, and 5 cups of water to a pot. Bring to a boil, decrease heat to a simmer and cook until the dal are tender, about 40 to 45 minutes.
How do you know when dal is cooked?
Cook on medium heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour. Check to see if dal are soft and beginning to split. If not, continue cooking. If dal starts to dry out, add up to 1 cup of water.
Which dal is harmful?
The Food Safety and Standards of India (FSSAI) has issued warning to people to halt the consumption of Moong and Masoor dal. These lentils contain residues of the highly toxic herbicide Glyphosate, used by farmers to clear weeds.
Which is the healthiest dal?
Some types of dals are healthier when compared to others. For example, the black gram dal and moong dal are hailed has the healthiest among the dals. Others like masoor dal have health benefits too but they also have some side effects.
Is chana dal yellow split peas?
Chana dal is not the same as yellow split peas, despite my misleading title. Yes, split peas are very similar and they’re a fine substitution, but no, they’re not the same. Dals are denser than soup, with a thick puréed texture, but without the excess work of puréeing.
How do you eat dal fry?
Dal fry is eaten with plain regular rice or with roti. On occasions we also eat it with Jeera rice, ghee rice or with Indian flatbreads like plain paratha, methi paratha, palak paratha & even with butter naan. We also love papad, pickle, simple vegetable stir fry or a vegetable salad on the side with dal fry and rice.
What is Tarka in Indian cooking?
Tarka may refer to: Tarka, also Chhaunk, in Indian cuisine is a method of seasoning food with spices heated in oil or ghee.
What is Arhar Dal called in English?
Red Gram is one of the English terms for the arhar daal.
Is it OK to soak toor dal overnight?
Soak the toor dal in a bowl of water for 20 minutes or overnight if you are well organized. This simply makes the cooking time a little quicker but is not essential (unlike some lentils which you have to soak over night – red kidney beans and green mung beans for example).
Which dal is better moong or Toor?
Yes, Moong Dal is better than Toor Dal in many ways. It has a subtle mild flavor, which doesn’t overpower the taste and flavor of the preparation. It also has many beneficial properties as compared to Toor Dal.
Which dal cooks fastest?
Moong dal, the pale, butter-yellow split dal made from hulled green mung beans, is the one my children consider our household standard. It’s one of the quickest-cooking dals, which is probably why I choose it so often.

Renault looking to boost brand awareness in China with new Alibaba deal
The French car manufacturer says the Chinese market is a “top priority”, which is forecast to become the leading market for luxury vehicles by 2020.
Renault Sport Formula One Team and Alibaba’s Tmall have partnered for the 2018 FIA Formula One Championship, as the French car manufacturer looks to “significantly improve brand awareness and opinion” in China.
As part of the agreement, the team’s new 2018 car – the Renault R.S. 18 F1 challenger – will feature Tmall’s cat logo during the sporting event, which kicks off in April’s Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.
Groupe Renault – which posted both record sales and profit in 2017, with operating profit up 17.4% to an all-time high of €3.85bn (£3.41bn) – said China is a market of “strategic importance” and a “top priority” in the company’s new mid-term plan. Dongfeng Renault Automotive Company – the equally owned Chinese joint venture between Dongfeng Motor Group and Renault – has set a target of 400,000 passenger cars sales by 2022.
“One of the key objectives of returning to Formula 1 was to leverage its global platform for Groupe Renault,” says Cyril Abiteboul, managing director of Renault Sport Racing.
“China has been identified as a market of strategic importance and partnering with high-profile companies like Alibaba’s Tmall will provide opportunities to significantly improve Renault brand awareness and opinion in China, with a strong presence over the Chinese Grand Prix in April, but also throughout the year.”
Renault is Alibaba’s latest major partnership with an international automaker, with recent collaborations including Ford, BMW, Volvo, Maserati and Alfa Romeo.
Wei Yu, General Manager of Tmall Auto says: “We are excited to partner with the Renault Sport Formula One Team to make our activity around the Chinese Grand Prix a success and to be working closely together to bring one-of-a-kind experiences with the Renault Sport Formula One Team to our customers.”
According to US business intelligence firm L2, China is expected to become the top market for luxury vehicles by 2020, with a separate McKinsey study finding that 23% of Chinese consumers aged 18 to 24 are shopping for cars online.
Renault is set to release images of the new car on Wednesday, with further details of the partnership to be revealed in March.

Aramco has faced a tough time in 2020 so far. Just months after its long-awaited IPO in December 2019, the impacts of COVID-19 on the company are clear to see. Aramco has been forced to delay two large expansion projects at the Marjan and Berri Complexes as the virus’ impacts have been far reaching and damaging for the global economy, oil prices, and demand, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
Conor Ward, Oil & Gas analyst at GlobalData, comments: “These expansion projects aimed to add a significant amount of production to the company’s portfolio. However, the impacts of COVID-19 now represent a long-term impact and along with the OPEC+ production cuts, Saudi Arabia is likely to see significantly reduced output than would have been planned.”
In commitment with the agreed OPEC+ production cuts, Saudi Arabia has cut 2.5 million barrels of oil per day (Mmbd) in May, June, and July. In further efforts to rebalance oil prices, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait agreed to a further 1.18 mmbd production cut of which Saudi Arabia will bare 1 million. Aramco will experience an approximately 18 percent cut in its originally planned 2020 production and with these OPEC cuts along with the impacts of COVID-19, it is unlikely that production levels will rebound before 2022.
The upcoming expansion plans have been delayed and Aramco will become increasingly more strict with its capital spending due to the uncertainty which COVID-19 has brought to the market. H1 spending for the company has already been 15 percent lower than 2019 and this trend is expected to continue into 2021 as the company continues to re-evaluate its spending habits amid a global demand reduction.
Ward concludes: “Going forward, the company will remain the largest single energy company in the world with above industry average profit margins however, continued weakness in global oil prices will put pressure on the company and in turn, the government’s fiscal budgeting.”
Oil and gas operations are commonly found in remote locations far from company headquarters. Now, it's possible to monitor pump operations, collate and analyze seismic data, and track employees around the world from almost anywhere. Whether employees are in the office or in the field, the internet and related applications enable a greater multidirectional flow of information – and control – than ever before.

New York City
Jan. 18, 1984 -- Sept. 22, 1986
NYS Correctional and Youth Services Association
activities involving NYC DOC:
was the caption kicker for the front page photo of ACA convention planners who included, from left, DOC Special Events Director Sandra Lewis Smith, former DOC Commissioner and then CAYSA President William Ciuros, CAYSA Treasurer Michael Theis, DOC Commissioner Jacqueline McMickens, and Chief of Operations Gloria Lee.
The City and its Department of Correction will be on display this August for corrections personnel the nation over who attend the American Correctional Association's 115th Congress of Correction - the first Congress staged in New York City in a quarter-century.
While some D.O.C. personnel are A.C.A. members who will attend sessions of the Congress, a greater number of departmental employees will help with security at the Congress and play host to delegates who tour facilities at the Tombs and on Rikers Island.
The official host agency for the Congress, the State Correctional and Youth Services Association, has delegated responsibility for security to the City D.O.C.
Commissioner Jacqueline McMickens, Co- Chair of the Host Committee, and Chief of Operations Gloria Lee, C.A.Y.S.A. Vice President, have assigned Supervising Warden Martin Monteiro to coordinate security arrangements.
The major body ot the Congress runs from Sunday, August 11 through Thursday August 15, and one of the highlights for about 5,000 delegates and guests should be "New York Night" - a gala evening of entertainment and food aboard the Staten Island Ferry on Monday night, August 12.
A special subway train will shuttle guests between the midtown Congress headquarters at the Hilton and the Sheraton Hotels and the Whitehall Street Ferry Dock.
Once aboard the ferry, guests will have a choice of music and cuisine on three separate decks with a panoramic view of the City as a backdrop - all for just $30 per person. Employees of the Department of Correction may participate in this event even if they are not A.C.A. members or Congress delegates.
If you would enjoy spending a summer's night in New York Harbor, hobnobbing with leaders in the correctional field the nation over, the Department's Director of Special Events, Sandra Lewis Smith, can supply more information at 374-4356.
Those facilities playing host to delegate tours will be the Manhattan House of Detention, which has quickly gained a wide reputation as one of America's outstanding urban jails; the Anna M. Kross Center, one of the nations largest detention tacilities; and the Rikers Island Complex.
The theme of the Congress will be, ''Public Policyl/Public Perceptions: Challenges for Corrections." It will be explored from a variety of perspectives in 14 major tracks and 62 supporting sessions, a series of intensive skills training workshops, and opening general and plenary sessions of the Congress.
There will also be an extensive display of the latest technological advancements in correction, exhibited by corporations from across the country.
"We are most pleased that the A.C.A. has chosen New York City for its 1985 Congress and that we have been able to play such an important role with the Host Committee," Chief Lee said.
"While not every one of our employees will be able to attend the sessions, our agency will be on display that week and I hope many of you share my excitement at that prospect. I also hope that a good number of our people can participate in New York Night. It will be our chance to show our visitors that we in the Big Apple not only work hard at providing proper cor rectional services, we also know how to throw one fine party."
was the caption kicker for the Page 8 photo of CAYSA's Rikers panel speakers who included, from left, Commissioner Jacqueline McMickens, State Supreme Court Appellate Justice William Thompson, former Deputy Mayor Nicholas Scoppetta, and Onondaga County Correction Commissioner William Ciuros, who headed CAYSA and formerly headed DOC.
The New York City Department of Correction and CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice recently co-sponsored a forum entitled "Correction: Its True Role in the System" at CIFW.
The forum featured key participants in the criminal justice process and highlighted the regional meeting of the State Correction and Youth Services Association.
Chief of Operations Gloria Lee's welcome to all the participants was followed by an address from Commissioner Jacqueline McMickens.
Commissioner McMickens asked what correction and criminal justice professionals must do to make the system function more efficiently. She urged the audience and the panelists to seek answers and test their individual talents to find the answers.
"Professionals in the business move the field forward," she said.
Dr. Lynch set the tone for the forum with a quote from Winston Churchill: "Show me the state of your pris6ns, and I'll tell you the state of your civilization."
John Coleman told the audience that correction itself is usually thought of last in the criminal justice system.
He said, "The Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, with the federal government and the National Institute of Correction, are now partners in a system wide approach. We're trying to get all the actors-police, courts, correction, paroletogether to talk on what the issues are and to see how the pieces interrelate..."
Harvey Levinson, a former head of Nassau County Legal Aid, said a majority of the population feels that inmates are held in country-club like settings when the majority of the population cannot afford mortgage payments, special education and recreational classes for their children. "Being a pragmatist I see the true role of correction is to merely quarantine."
Nicholas Scoppetta called it a misnomer to consider the criminal justice system as a system because it is far too fragmented. He referred to it as a "process."
He proposed the courts should prosecute only those cases worthy of prosecution and use legislative reform to make the system run more efficiently.
Justice Thompson took the provocative position, stating that private enterprise may take over the role of correction as it stands now.
"Correction has not a true role if it continues on its present course," he said. "Correction will be out of business within the next five to ten years."
He cited a 1981 Rand Report which he said recommended that government get out of the correction business and contract the running of prisons to private industry.
Peter Yates cited statistics on the number of felonies committed in New York State. He said, "Out of the one million felonies committed a year in New York State, 100,000 result in arrest, from that, 30,000 are indicted, and from that number 10,000 go to prison."
He called for correction officials to make the public more aware of alternatives to incarceration.
A spirited exchange occurred in the question and answer part of the forum between Justic Thompson and Robert Slattery, president of the correction officers union at Sing Sing Prison.
Slattery said that correction seems "juicy" to the private sector and the correction officers today are dealing with an inmate who fears nothing.
Justice Thompson retorted, " By saying you can't do your job, you open the door to private enterprises because they feel they can do something with them."

GPs should warn patients with restless leg syndrome that low-dose dopamine agonists could give them a pathological gambling habit, say experts.
This problem has only previously been reported in patients with Parkinson’s disease taking stronger doses of the drug.
A report from the US focuses on three patients with restless leg syndrome whose gambling compulsion started when they began taking 0.5mg pramipexole (Mirapexin) daily. In one patient, gambling started after 0.25mg ropinirole (Requip) daily.
Two patients had been low-key recreational gamblers before treatment and a third had never gambled before. Around nine months after treatment began, patients developed gambling compulsions. These subsided when treatment stopped.

Not much is known about Arcangelo, other than the fact that he was the son of the painter Jacopo del Sellaio and that he took over the running of his father's workshop upon the latter's death in 1493. Arcangelo's style comes very close to that of his father's, so much so that after Jacopo's death Arcangelo even finished off some of his commissions.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Lee has formed in the Atlantic, becoming the 13th named storm of this active hurricane season.
The NHC started issuing advisories for Tropical Depression Thirteen early Tuesday morning and by late Tuesday afternoon had upgraded it to a tropical storm.
Right now, it has winds of 45 miles an hour but is forecast to gain strength and become a major hurricane this week.
Satellite images show that the low-pressure area located roughly halfway between western Africa and the Windward Islands has become more organized. It may have an impact on the Leeward Islands by the weekend.
Lee is moving west-northwest at 16 mph across the central tropical Atlantic. Additional strengthening to hurricane strength is likely later this week while the system moves over the western portions of the tropical Atlantic. It is expected to be near or to the northeast of the northern Leeward Islands over the next five days.
Environmental conditions are favorable for further development, according to computer models, due to low wind shear, little dry air, and very warm sea surface temperatures. The forecasts indicate this could become a major hurricane as it moves towards the western Atlantic.
It is the 13th storm of the 2023 season, and it will likely be our fourth hurricane of the year.
Forecast models are currently steering this storm away from the continental United States, but it is too early to tell exactly where it will go. It will have to be monitored closely over the next seven to 10 days.
Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A strong tropical wave near the coast of West Africa is producing a large area of cloudiness and showers. Environmental conditions appear favorable for a tropical depression to form over the far eastern tropical Atlantic during the middle to end of the week as the system moves west-northwest.
This system is expected to pass over the Cabo Verde Islands on Wednesday night and Thursday, and residents should keep an eye on its progress.

The comedy troupe behind the controversial Netflix comedy that features Jesus as a gay man bringing home his partner to meet the Holy Family has had their offices fire-bombed, with a shadowy right-wing group claiming responsibility for the attack.
Police have images of four men involved in the attack, but do not know their identities. Authorities have formed a task force to investigate the matter and identify the group.
The group claiming credit for the attack, which identifies itself as “Popular Nationalist Insurgency Command of the Large Brazilian Integralist Family,” said in a video circulated on social media that it had carried out the attack using Molotov cocktails to torch the headquarters of the Porta dos Fundos comedy group in Rio de Janeiro. The men in the video wore masks to conceal their identities.
The video shows three men in black ski masks and dark green jumpsuits reading a statement in front of a flag bearing the Greek letter Sigma, a symbol used by Brazil’s integralist movement, which was inspired by 1930s-style European fascism, stressing Christianity, traditional values, authoritarian politics, and social conformity. The video also showed an Imperial Flag of Brazil, the national symbol under Brazil’s former monarchy, which has not been used since the 1800s, reports Reuters.
The statement, read aloud by the men on camera, criticizes Porta dos Fundos for The First Temptation of Christ, calling the comedy “blasphemy” perpetrated by left-wing Marxists seeking to weaken and divide the country. The men also criticize Netflix for airing the special.
Porta dos Fundos and Netflix have come under assault from social conservatives in Brazil who claim that Temptation is insulting and offensive to Christians. In response, more than 2 million people signed on to a Change.org petition calling for Netflix to remove the show.
Netfli has not responded to requests for comment on Temptation‘s content or the attack against Porta dos Fundos.
The comedy troupe said it hoped that the perpetrators would be caught and punished and that Brazil “will survive this storm of hatred.” The group previously issued a statement noting that it values artistic freedom and humor, and does not believe that censoring content is healthy for a functioning democracy.
Porta dos Fundos has also been attacked on Facebook by a mixture of right-wing sympathizers, Internet trolls, and proponents of censorship, who argue that the group makes fun of Christians, but is too afraid to criticize Islam — a right-wing trope that the troupe’s co-founder, Fábio Porchat, has debunked in an interview with Variety.
Brazil is home to the world’s largest Catholic population, as well as a rapidly growing evangelical Christian community. Both groups have been credited with successfully electing President Jair Bolsonaro, who has a history of making anti-LGBTQ remarks and has discouraged the Brazilian government from attempting to promote LGBTQ equality or combat human rights violations committed against LGBTQ people.
Juliano Medeiros, the leader of Brazil’s opposition PSOL party, urged the government to bring those involved in the fire-bombing to justice.
“If the authorities don’t give a rapid and fierce response against these types of acts, Brazil could spiral into a state of even more violence,” Medeiros said on Twitter.
