What Does It Mean To Live Catholic? What does it mean to be a LIVE Catholic? It means we are not afraid to live life abundantly! To drink in the beauty of life, family, friends and the world. We are not afraid to explore the wonders of Christ. We have Hope! Hope for a better life in Christ, and most importantly the Hope of being with Christ on the "other side." Whether we are new Catholics, "Reverts", members of the life- long faithful, or those just considering Catholicism, we all can live life in the joy of Christ. Too many Catholics think religion is dour, depressing - what grandmothers and old men do. They have the impression that to be a saint is to be boring and painful. Long hours on their knees wearing hairshirts. But holiness is not about hairshirts - it is about union with God. An aliveness we can not only dream about but actually attain. A great adventure waiting for us that we only have to open ourselves to. And yes, this means YOU TOO! Saints are truly the most joyful people around. We may not know many - if any - but when you meet one you can sense it immediately. They radiate love, goodness and truth. Sure it is not all fun and games. Life is not like that. But the joy in Christ we experience here on earth is but a taste of the joy to come. True Catholics don't spend their time complaining about how unfair the Church is, or how they are not getting their fair share, or how so- and- so said an unthinking word. True Catholics realize that it is all about their relationship with Christ, not about rules. The rules are there to give us a framework to build on, to go beyond. A starting point. True Catholics are alive in the Faith. They take a journey every day with Christ. They never stop learning. They are never afraid Christ will abandon them. They suffer hardships, pain and disappointments with faith and trust that the Lord will give them the strength and help to persevere. To get to this point - joy in the Lord amidst life's struggles - is itself a journey. We have so much to learn and experience. There is a depth to Catholicism that is unfathomable to us. We could spend our entire lives with our nose in book after book, website after website, and never even scratch the surface of the knowledge of Christ held within the Church. In another way though, knowledge of Christ is profoundly simple. Even small children and the uneducated understand it, and in many ways, better than anyone. They have a deep understanding of who God is and what he wants from our lives. Simple people have far less in their way to Christ than we may have. To live as a Catholic, to be an alive Catholic, means to not let the world surround us, choke us, smother us with falsehoods. We have to grow in knowledge and holiness. We need to take advantage of the depth and beauty of Catholicism and what the Church has to offer us. We have to not be suspicious, to not always be looking for the "catch." Of course, we cannot ignore problems when they happen, in the Church or in life, but we cannot let them spoil our joy. We cannot allow problems to penetrate and sour our relationship with the Church and with Christ. We also need to let our joy spread. An alive Catholic opens his or her heart to the world. They have compassion for those in the world - be it a starving child, or a person whose heart is a stone. We need to let the Holy Spirit flow through us to spread the Kingdom of Christ. We need to do this even when confronted by hostile territory and the "snakes" of the world. Our mission is to be in Christ and spread Christ in spite of problems or problem people - like family, or co- workers, or even other Catholics. The most important thing I can possibly say to you is that YOU, with God's grace, can do this. You too can be a Live Catholic. Someone who radiates joy and has a deep relationship with God. If you trust God, open your heart to him, and seek him with all your heart you will find him. Pope Orders Cardinal Müller to Dismiss Three CDF Priests(Image: Palace of the Holy Office; Headquarters of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith)Marco Tosatti, the well- informed and well- respected Italian Vatican specialist, has just revealed another quite troubling development in Rome. On 2. 6 December, Tosatti reports on his own website Stilum Curiae that Pope Francis had just ordered the Prefect of one Vatican dicastery to dismiss three of his priests from their duties in their congregation. My own research has shown that this incident occurred at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), and that it was Cardinal Gerhard Müller himself who now has to obey these peremptory new orders. Additionally, I was able to discover that the three priests involved are, respectively, of a Slovakian- American, French, and Mexican nationality. One of my sources is a friend of one of these three theologians.) However, the last of these three might now, after all, be able to remain a little longer in his current position at the Congregation. Let us now consider some of the specific details of what Marco Tosatti himself has perceptively gathered for us. He starts his article with a reference to Pope Francis’ usual rebuke of the Roman Curia at his Christmas address to the Curia and detects the pope’s obvious anger in his words and gestures. When looking over to the Curia itself, however, Tosatti perceives something else than a reciprocal anger to be present among the curial members: “It is not about their resistance, but about their fear, their discontent, and a kind of feeling that belongs to another context altogether.”Tosatti then refers to a credible source who told him several recent episodes occurring at the Vatican. Two of them appear to be of great importance and might also give us some additional glimpses into Pope Francis’ own authoritarian methods as well as his somewhat indirect way of ruling the Church. But, we should now first concentrate on the new personnel matter at the Congregation for Doctrine, which Tosatti himself says is “decisively sadder.” Here is Tosatti’s report: The head of a dicastery has received the order to remove three of his employees (all of whom have worked there for a long time), and it was without any explanation. He [the Prefect] received these official letters: “…. I request that you please dismiss ….” The order was: send him [each of them] back into his diocese of origin or to the Religious Family to which he belongs. He [the Prefect of the Congregation] was very perplexed because it was about three excellent priests who are among the most capable professionally. He first avoided obeying and several times asked for an audience with the pope. He had to wait because that meeting was postponed several times. Finally, he was received in an audience. And he said: “Your Holiness, I have received these letters, but I did not do anything because these persons are among the best of my dicastery… what did they do?” The answer was, as follows: “And I am the pope, I do not need to give reasons for any of my decisions. I have decided that they have to leave and they have to leave.” He got up and stretched out his hand in order to indicate that the audience was at an end. On 3. 1 December, two of the three [men] will leave the dicastery in which they have worked for years, and without knowing the why. For the third, there seems to be a certain delay. But then, there is another implication which, if true, would be even more unpleasant. One of the two had freely spoken about certain decisions of the pope – perhaps a little bit too much. A certain person – a friend of a close collaborator of the pope – heard this disclosure and passed it on. The victim received then a very harsh telephone call from Number One [i. And then soon came the dismissal.” [emphasis added]In this passage, Tosatti piercingly speaks about an “autocratic fever that seems to have broken out in the Vatican.” [my emphasis] And he concludes his report with the following words: Thus it is not so astonishing when the atmosphere behind the walls and in the palaces is not really serene. And one may now ask oneself what kind of credit this fact gives altogether to all the elaborate and sustained fanfare about mercy. Thus Tosatti adds another piece of the puzzle concerning Pope Francis’ manner and methods of governance through which he seemingly aims at removing – or marginalizing – orthodox prelates, priests, and laymen from positions of formative influence in the Vatican. Moreover, with specific regard of the Congregation for Doctrine, another source had told me the following, more than a month ago: One source in Rome says that all those who work for the Holy See are afraid to talk about anything for fear of being chopped because of the presence of informants everywhere. He compared it to Stalinist Russia. He said two priest friends of his, good men, have been fired from the CDF because they were accused of being critical of Pope Francis. Catholic Church - Wikipedia. The Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church, is the largest Christian church, with more than 1. As one of the oldest religious institutions in the world, it has played a prominent role in the history and development of Western civilisation.[5]Headed by the Bishop of Rome, known as the Pope, the church's doctrines are summarised in the Nicene Creed. Its central administration, the Holy See, is in the Vatican City, enclaved within Rome, Italy. The Catholic Church teaches that it is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolicchurch founded by Jesus Christ in his Great Commission,[6][7][note 1] that its bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles, and that the Pope is the successor to Saint Peter to whom primacy was conferred by Jesus Christ.[1. It maintains that it practises the original Christian faith, reserving infallibility, passed down by sacred tradition.[1. The Latin Church, the Eastern Catholic Churches, and institutes such as mendicant orders and enclosed monastic orders reflect a variety of theological and spiritual emphases in the Church.[1. Of its seven sacraments the Eucharist is the principal one, celebrated liturgically in the Mass.[1. The church teaches that through consecration by a priest the sacrificial bread and winebecome the body and blood of Christ. The Virgin Mary is venerated in the Catholic Church as Mother of God and Queen of Heaven, honoured in dogmas and devotions.[1. Its teaching includes sanctification through faith and evangelisation of the Gospel and Catholic social teaching, which emphasises support for the sick, the poor, and the afflicted through the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. The Catholic Church is the largest non- government provider of education and health care in the world.[1. The Catholic Church has influenced Western philosophy, culture, science, and art. The Catholic Church shared communion with the Eastern Orthodox Church until the East–West Schism in 1. Pope, as well as with the Oriental Orthodox churches prior to the Chalcedonian schism in 4. Christology. Catholics live all over the world through missions, diaspora, and conversions. Since the 2. 0th century the majority reside in the southern hemisphere due to secularisation in Europe, and increased persecution in the Middle East. From the late 2. 0th century, the Catholic Church has been criticised for its doctrines on sexuality, its refusal to ordain women and its handling of sexual abuse cases. Name. Catholic (from Greek: καθολικός, translit. katholikos, lit. 'universal') was first used to describe the church in the early 2nd century.[1. The first known use of the phrase "the catholic church" (καθολικὴ ἐκκλησίαhe katholike ekklesia) occurred in the letter written about 1. AD from Saint Ignatius of Antioch to the Smyrnaeans.[note 2] In the Catechetical Lectures (c. 3. Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, the name "Catholic Church" was used to distinguish it from other groups that also called themselves "the church".[1. The "Catholic" notion was further stressed in the edict De fide Catolica issued 3. Theodosius I, the last emperor to rule over both the eastern and the western halves of the Roman Empire, when establishing the state church of the Roman Empire.[2. Since the East–West Schism of 1. Eastern Church has taken the adjective "Orthodox" as its distinctive epithet (however, its official name continues to be the "Orthodox Catholic Church"[2. Western Church in communion with the Holy See has similarly taken "Catholic", keeping that description also after the Protestant Reformation of the 1. Protestants".[2. 3][2. While the "Roman Church" has been used to describe the pope's Diocese of Rome since the Fall of the Western Roman Empire and into the Early Middle Ages (6th- 1. Roman Catholic Church" has been applied to the whole church in English language since the Protestant Reformation in the late 1. Roman Catholic" has occasionally appeared also in documents produced both by the Holy See,[note 3] notably applied to certain national episcopal conferences, and local dioceses.[note 4]The name "Catholic Church" for the whole church is used in the 1. Catechism of the Catholic Church, the 1. Code of Canon Law, the documents of the 1. Second Vatican Council, and numerous other official documents.[2. Organisation. "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in heaven." Jesus to Peter in the Gospel of Matthew, 1. The crossed gold and silver keys of the Holy See symbolise the keys of Simon Peter, representing the power of the papal office to loose and bind. The triple crown papal tiara symbolises the triple power of the Pope as "father of kings", "governor of the world" and "Vicar of Christ". The gold cross on a monde (globe) surmounting the tiara symbolises the sovereignty of Jesus.

They didn’t really make people walk the plank. Although walking the plank is common in contemporary pirate lore, most pirates just killed people straightaway. When they did torture their prisoners, it was usually through keelhauling (dragging a tied sailor in the water from the back of the ship), marooning a person on a deserted island or remote sandbar, or lashings with a leather whip. Pirates didn’t always bury their treasure. Some pirates didn’t bury their treasure right away because they wanted their share of the loot beforehand. And a pirate’s treasure didn’t always include gold or silver; most of it was food, lumber, cloth, and animal hides. Each pirate ship had its own set of rules and code. Almost every pirate ship had their own set of guidelines that all pirates had to agree to. This included how the loot would be divided, who had what chores, and what was expected of everyone. Believe it or not, one of the most common rules was no fighting onboard. If two pirates had a disagreement they’d have to wait, and fight on land. Arrr, matey, did yar learn anything new?

When Sol Moran, 6. Puerto Rico to move to Minneapolis, things initially went well. She enjoyed being closer to her son, who lived in a nearby suburb, and she had a job she enjoyed. Then Moran got hit with a constellation of serious illnesses. She wasn’t able to keep up her work as an interpreter and home health aide and didn’t have the energy to get out of her apartment for anything other than medical visits. Her world became very small.“I had given up on life,” Moran said. I was wondering sometimes why I had a phone,” since the only calls she received were about doctors’ appointments.‘A Potent Killer’Loneliness and social isolation are not merely a source of sadness for many older adults. Studies have shown that isolation increases the risk of mental and physical illnesses. In fact, the health risks of prolonged isolation are equivalent to smoking 1. AARP Foundation. “Social isolation is a potent killer,” said James Lubben, a professor at Boston College School of Social Work. We need to start taking it much more seriously.”If you’re isolated, you may be more prone to pick up that phone [from a scammer].— Lisa Marsh Ryerson, AARP Foundation. The numbers of older people affected by loneliness and isolation are striking. According to the new AARP Foundation website Connect. Affect: 1. 7 percent of American adults 6. Research shows a 2. Campaign Highlights Isolation and Seeks Solutions. The Eldercare Locator Home for the Holidays campaign launched by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging aims to bring more attention to the issue. Those who are suffering from isolation are encouraged to reach out (see the “How to Get Help” section below). And organizations or individuals across the country can share ideas for how to lessen isolation in local communities. Why now?“Certainly we know that the overall aging population is growing rapidly,” said Edwin Walker, the U. S. acting assistant secretary for aging. Isolation and loneliness are known to be associated with higher risks of chronic disease, heart disease, depression and anxiety, even dementia and Alzheimer’s. And all of these things could lead to the ultimate risk factor of having a person prematurely go into a nursing facility or some type of long- term care facility or even have to use emergency services. And that’s what we want to avoid.”Risk Factors for Isolation. The top risk factors for isolation include the following, the AARP Foundation says: Lack of accessible and affordable transportation. Health issues such as untreated hearing loss, dementia, lack of mobility and frailty, which interfere with social connectedness. Life transitions, such as retirement, becoming a caregiver or losing a spouse or friends. Ageism and being limited by a lack of opportunities to contribute to one’s community. Poverty and discrimination because of social status, race, gender identity or sexual orientation. Living in a rural area where interactions with others are more difficult Older adults who are isolated are also at greater risk of elder abuse, fraud and scams, said Lisa Marsh Ryerson, president of the AARP Foundation.“If you’re isolated, you may be more prone to pick up that phone [from a scammer],” Ryerson said. It is also equally true that if you have been a victim of fraud or of a scammer that that very experience tends to make people isolated — there is a level of shame, sadly, that goes along with that, shame that can cause older people to retreat.”Plan Ahead for Changes. While isolation is not reserved for the old, it is more likely as we grow older and shift away from busy careers and child- rearing. Only then may we realize that we have put too little into our relationships, Lubben said.“I don’t think a lot of people have weighed in their personal lives the consequences of not nurturing our social ties,” he said. My real concern is in our society we have elevated the notion of rugged individualism, which is counter to the reality. We get through life with the help of our friends and family who nurture us during critical points in our lives.” He urges people to not wait for a crisis but to “build up that social capital much like we want to build up our financial capital” for our later years. It’s also important for doctors and nurses to regularly ask patients whether they feel lonely or isolated, Lubben said. These medical professionals should help older adults by proactively asking patients how much they are alone and how they are feeling, he added. How to Get Help This brochure from the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging includes a self- assessment checklist to gauge your risk of isolation and its effects. You can also find resources through the federal Eldercare Locator, at 8. Another suggestion if you feel isolated: tell a health care worker when you visit for an appointment. Dawn Simonson, executive director of the Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging near St. Marriage: America’s Greatest Weapon Against Child Poverty. Abstract: Child poverty is an ongoing national concern, but few are aware that its principal cause is the absence of married fathers in the home. Marriage remains America’s strongest anti- poverty weapon, yet it continues to decline. As husbands disappear from the home, poverty and welfare dependence will increase, and children and parents will suffer as a result. Since marital decline drives up child poverty and welfare dependence, and since the poor aspire to healthy marriage but lack the norms, understanding, and skills to achieve it, it is reasonable for government to take active steps to strengthen marriage. Just as government discourages youth from dropping out of school, it should provide information that will help people to form and maintain healthy marriages and delay childbearing until they are married and economically stable. In particular, clarifying the severe shortcomings of the “child first, marriage later” philosophy to potential parents in lower- income communities should be a priority. Child poverty is an ongoing national concern, but few are aware of its principal cause: the absence of married fathers in the home. According to the U. S. Census, the poverty rate for single parents with children in the United States in 2. The rate for married couples with children was 6. Being raised in a married family reduced a child’s probability of living in poverty by about 8. Some of this difference in poverty is due to the fact that single parents tend to have less education than married couples, but even when married couples are compared to single parents with the same level of education, the married poverty rate will still be more than 7. Marriage is a powerful weapon in fighting poverty. In fact, being married has the same effect in reducing poverty that adding five to six years to a parent’s level of education has.[2]Decline in Marriage and Growth in Out- of- Wedlock Childbearing. Regrettably, marriage is declining rapidly in the U. S. The current decline is unusual. As Chart 2 shows, throughout most of the 2. United States. Nearly all children were born to married couples. For example, when President Lyndon Johnson launched the War on Poverty in 1. United States were born to married parents. Since that time, births within marriage have declined sharply. In 2. 01. 0, only 5. The flip side of the decline in marriage is the growth in the out- of- wedlock childbearing birth rate, meaning the percentage of births that occur to women who are not married when the child is born.[3] As Chart 3 shows, throughout most of U. S. history, out- of- wedlock childbearing was rare. When the War on Poverty began in the mid- 1. Over the next four and a half decades, the number rose rapidly. In 2. 01. 0, 4. 0. U. S. were born outside of marriage.[4]Out- of- Wedlock Childbearing Not the Same as Teen Pregnancy. Out- of- wedlock births are often confused with teen pregnancy and births. In fact, few out- of- wedlock births occur to teenagers. As Chart 4 shows, of all out- of- wedlock births in the United States in 2. Three- quarters occurred to young adult women between the ages of 1. The decline in marriage and growth in out- of- wedlock births is not a teenage issue; it is the result of a breakdown in relationships between young adult men and women. A Two- Caste Society. In 2. 00. 8, 1. 7. United States.[6] Most of these births occurred to women who will have the hardest time going it alone as parents: young adult women with a high school degree or less. As Chart 5 shows, nearly two- thirds of births to women who were high school dropouts occurred outside of marriage. Among women who had only a high school degree, well over half of all births were out of wedlock. By contrast, among women with at least a college degree, only 8 percent of births were out of wedlock, and 9. The U. S. is steadily separating into a two- caste system with marriage and education as the dividing line.

If your character talks to himself or does a lot of wondering aloud, he needs a friend to talk to. If you’re bored with a character, your reader will be, too. If you can’t tell your story in three well- crafted sentences: the first one covering the beginning, the second one alluding to the climax (the middle), and the last one hinting at the ending — you may not have a complete story yet. If you find yourself overwriting because you’re having trouble expressing exactly what you mean, sit back and say it aloud to yourself, and then try again.

Don’t even consider doing any of the following in a book for children: Write books that preach or lecture. Talk down to children as if they’re small, idiotic adults. Write books that have no real story (nor a plot with beginning, middle, end). Use art that is totally inappropriate for the story or vice versa. Pack picture books with lots of text. Pack nonfiction books with too much text and too few visuals. Create characters who are boring or unnecessary to the development of the story.

Generally one of the goals, besides the main plot goal, is to develop a romantic relationship between the female player character and one of several male or female characters. This genre is most established in Japan, and is mostly made up of visual novels and simulation games; particularly dating sims and life simulation games. History[edit]The first otome game is generally acknowledged to be Angelique, released in 1. Koei in Japan for the Super Famicom, and created by an all- woman team.[1] The game was originally targeted to pre- teen and younger teenage girls, but became unexpectedly popular with older teenagers and women in their 2. Angelique is credited with "set[ting] up the specifics and conventions of women’s games: a focus on romance, easy controls and utilizing other multimedia."[1] In 2.

Early games borrowed heavily from the iconography and story conventions of "retro shoujo manga", "the archetypical girly heroines, the emphasis on pure, sexless, tranquil romance and on a peaceful, stable setting", but as the category expanded, other narrative and gameplay elements were introduced, including action/adventure, combat and plots in which "the heroine can ‘save the world’ and ‘get the guy’ at the same time".[1]Mc. Kenzie & Co (1. American Laser Games and Girl's Club (1. Philips Interactive were simulation games for girls developed and released in the US in the past. The first Japanese otome game to be officially translated and sold in English was the visual novel Yo- Jin- Bo in 2. PC. Since then there have been a small handful of releases increasing each year, including Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom for the PSP and 3. DS. The genre has many style elements in common with shōjo and josei manga,[1] and plotwise they are often similar to harem manga. There are also games targeted towards women that are focused on romance between men, called boys' love games(ボーイズラブゲーム,bōizu rabu gēmu), and sometimes there are Boys' Love elements in otome games, but the two genres are usually kept separate. Otome games that are released on console and handheld platforms contain no pornographic content, as companies such as Sony and Nintendo do not allow it. There are games released on a PC platform which are rated 1. Some games were originally released for the PC with pornographic content, and were later toned down and re- released for the PS2. Other common elements in otome games are the importance of voice acting,[1]CG stills, and a small epilogue or set scene at the end of the game when a character is successfully finished. Gameplay[edit]Traditionally, the goal of these games is to have the desired partner fall in love and have a relationship with the player character, but the requirements for gaining a "good end" differ from game to game. While the plots of otome games differ greatly, there is usually a single female main character, and several good- looking males of varying "types". Gameplay occasionally does not particularly focus on romance, even if there are several characters whose "routes" you can follow. In the visual novel examples of the genre, the player proceeds in the story by selecting dialogue or action choices which affect their relationships in a decision tree format. In simulation otome games, there is also other gameplay which affects the plot, either by playing minigames or by raising stats. The main character often has several parameters, such as looks, style, intelligence, talent, etc., that can be raised through various activities in normal gameplay. The potential partners usually require a certain parameter or parameters to be at a certain level for them to fall in love with you. There is also often a pure dating aspect of gameplay in simulations. This involves asking or being asked on dates by the love interest, doing an activity with them, and responding to their questions or comments. The player has a choice of responses, and a correct answer will raise your standing with that character. One feature that has become common in otome games is "full voice" (フルボイス,furu boisu), which is to have voice acting throughout the entire game. The love interests are often voiced by well- known voice actors. At certain points, or when the player passes certain requirements, special events can occur, often with a "CG" (computer graphic) as a reward. This CG is a set picture featuring the love interest and sometimes the main character in a pose, and some dialogue. Links with other media[edit]Otome games have strong links with shōjomanga, with popular titles often spawning a manga series (e.

Capricorn man personality traits and characteristics. Outwardly reserved the Capricorn man is a complicated bundle of practicality, endearing modesty and self discipline, often reserving his fun and sexy wild side strictly for those who are very close to him. Capricorn men want to succeed. Goals and a practical viewpoint often characterize this man. Down to earth, self motivated, patient and responsible. Capricorn men are generally among the harder signs to understand, with a number of personality traits which often confuse partners in the early stages of a relationship. While the Capricorn man is as romantic and emotional as anyone else, he can be somewhat inhibited in expressing his emotions. One way this is apparent is that he often prefers to perform practical tasks to help loved ones in preference to making purely romantic gestures. He is very cautious by nature, and not one to rush into anything, so don't be misled if his interest appears mainly platonic initially. How do you eat an elephant? One spoonful at a time. A Capricorns greatest strength is his ability to set goals and pursue them until attained. Nothing gets in the way of a Capricorn's plans and ambitions, and they don't like taking shortcuts or cheating as either devalues their later satisfaction. They often have an intrinsic need to challenge themselves. Pessimistic by nature they sometimes have a slight inferiority complex or fear of failure, which drives them so hard to both succeed, and stand on their own two feet doing so. Respect, recognition and praise are important to them, as is their public image. They value steady progress over short bursts of activity, and are exceedingly patient. Bad news affects them less than other signs, and rarely holds them back for long. Never underestimate the patience or willpower of a Capricorn man who's on a mission! They can beat most other signs at almost anything in a battle of attrition. Prior planning and preparation prevent poor performance. Capricorns like to plan their every move, weighing all the pros and cons of any issue in advance, and often rehearsing exactly what they want to say before they say it. They are dependable, particularly in a crisis, though they dislike chaos and unpredictability. When asked, they give sound, practical advice. As a rule they're not aggressive people, and only express hostility as a defense. Work is generally very important to Capricorn men and they don't take it lightly, holding fast to duty and responsibility, partly because they want to look good in front of the world, and partly for the security such behavior brings. Typically they prefer employment rather than the greater risk/reward of self employment. They often place a very high value on material security, which can lead to efficiency, thrift or being somewhat of a pack- rat. I say 'somewhat' to be polite. They're often fantastic pack- rats!) How many Capricorns does it take to change a lightbulb? I don't know, but i'm going to keep the old lightbulb just in case I need it later.. On the negative side Capricorns can be pessimistic, suspicious, stubborn and sometimes intolerant. Capricorn man questions. Christina El Moussa Spends New Year's with a New Man: See Her Bike Date with Ant Anstead. ![]() Are Capricorn men afraid to express their feelings? Afraid is the wrong word for it, though this is a valid question, as they often come across this way. Capricorn men typically enjoy people, though they are often thoughtful, self- contained and shy. Attentive and Caring. Your Capricorn man will be very attentive about your needs. He'll do all the little things that convey love between a man and woman. When it comes to the bedroom, the Capricorn man can turn from a calm mellow bunny to a wild raging bull. Their quiet exterior can make them appear to be loners, often building a wall of reserve around themselves. They are very loyal to those they care for, but often cold to those outside of their circle of friends and family. They are often highly cautious and analytical when making new friends. What are Capricorn men like in bed? Your Capricorn man is likely to be a very adventurous lover, which may come as a surprise when compared to his otherwise restrained and stand- offish exterior. Contrary to his cool demeanor, he is remarkably playful in bed, and will prefer fun' sex to the heavy or serious. He will also enjoy laughing in bed, and appreciate a sense of humor. Don't be surprised if he suggests making love at either your place of work or his, it seems to be a common fantasy with Capricorns! Are Capricorn men kinky? I’m currently dating a virgo man.

It didn't last long at all.. He had such a strong sense of self.. It was a challenge for me too.. I was a total Scorpio girl and he put up a wall.. Two strong minded people going at it.. Ughhhh! But I daydream about him everyday and check my phones for texts.. Maybe he'll surprise me and come back! I am completely in love with a Capricorn man. He is 1. 8 years my senior and he came into my life so unexpectedly. The sex is great and I know he likes and cares for me, but he is still very much in love with his wife who passed away from cancer over a year ago. They were married for 2. He has bowled me over! I have been with a Capricorn man for the past six months and any Scorpio woman just have to be patient. We have been known to be very patient, especially when it comes to relationships, but being with a cappy really tests our limits! He is a challenge and Scorpio takes challenge seriously. He is such a complicated person. He hides behind a thick glass wall. I'm dating a Capricorn male at this time. What a complex man he is. As a Scorpio female, he really is a challenge or better yet 'a piece of work'. There have been a couple of occasions, where I have wanted to throw the towel in the ring and call it quits. I agree with all the above comments; truth be told, I believe this guy is worth it, so I will be patient and supportive of him. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS.. I WANT MORE OF MY CAPPY MAN!!! But I guess I can be patient. Thanks for all the comments, I guess he is worth the wait!!! I met a Capricorn one night, we have texted. We met up again tonight and he flirted with my friend, but he likes me. Hmm. He doesn't seem like a puzzle yet. His Venus is in Scorpio, so we are a perfect match. EXCITING. XXI am with a Capricorn, we've been together for almost two years. I am def a die hard Scorp! And yes! This man is a piece of work, but them walls mayun! Slowly coming down. Ive never experienced anything like this before and I love it. And yes. Ive attempted to throw in the towel, and he has always used that logic for me to stay. He's the one to tell me to be patient with him. We've talked about children and marriage, Im only 2. So we understand we still wanna eat our cake. My Cap ain't goin nowhere! I love the challenge! I'm a Scorpio woman whose split from her Leo husband and have recently met a Capricorn guy and I can't believe how well we connect with each other. The trouble is when he met me he'd also met another lady at about the same time and she is still in the 'picture' so we are just friends but I'm falling for him - I can't resist him.. He phones, texts and emails me and we've been out together quite a few times, nothing intimate has occurred which makes me think that their must be something on his part to 'hold him' to me. I'm a passionate Scorpio woman mesmerized with a Capricorn man. He is my ideal lover but does not know how much I love him. I give him love and attention all that he needs most of all I am a typical classy woman.. I understand his personality but I'm making sure he feels the same way about me. Everybody is saying be patient but being a Scorpio woman it not easy when you want something I know for sure us Scorpios when we want something we go for it and only time will tell if true love exists. I'm a Scorpio woman working towards a relationship with a Capricorn man. He is very book smart and goal- oriented. I sometimes feel like what he's saying goes way over my head but despite that I find him fascinating and can listen to him for hours. We are both VERY reserved and have a hard time expressing our feelings to each other.. I hope as time goes on we become more comfortable with one another because our physical chemistry is intense. I am a total Scorpio woman and I was involved for a long period of time with a Capricorn man. It might not be that long actually, a little over a year, but in that time I couldn't get his wall to come down. Now, I can be a very patient person when it comes to getting something that I want. We had chemistry and a certain comfort between us, but he was just out of a very chaotic relationship, and I just couldn't break that wall. I had to throw in the towel cause I don't really have time to waste, especially when he couldn't even really let me know his feelings for me. I wouldn't often hear through other people that he really liked me). Anyway, I had to end things, but I miss him. The Best Korean Dating Site – Kor. Luvchantal, 2. 2Togo (토고) yak.

Dream Marriage – Dating Site Reviews and Stories Today hundreds of single Ukrainian women and ladies from Russia are looking for men that would become their husbands. And the tendencies show that more and more often Slavic beauties want to spend their lives with gentlemen from abroad. At the same time, foreigners are eager to meet Russian singles: their tender personalities and feminine beauty are astonishing. So, there is the mutual attraction between Russian beauties and foreign men but there is one troublesome aspect: for them, it is not that easy to get acquainted with each other. A lot of websites emerge to assist men and women and to help them find their love. Dream Marriage is one of the most reputable sites that dedicates its attention to cross- national couples and focuses on Eastern Europe, namely – on Ukraine and Russia. Being established in 2. The site is not the largest online dating venue and it does not offer its clients access to hundreds of thousands of women. But it provides high- quality services and assists its customers on every stage of their relations with ladies. Any client has a wide choice in terms of membership types. Depending on the desirable level of functionality and on the financial abilities, everyone can choose the pricing model which seems to be the most appropriate. Video Review Ease of Use Dream Marriage login process is quick and simple. You can set up a new profile within 5 minutes: you need to fill in a few compulsory fields, give your name and email address. After this painless procedure, you get an access to the profiles of all the site’s members. You can browse them, check the recently added ladies and the girls who are online. But you can do nothing despite staring at the photos and profile information. As long as you are using the site for free you are pretty limited in actions. However, Dream Marriage is simple and intuitive in exploitation. You will grasp the nuances of navigation immediately after entering the site. One noticeable drawback of the site is that it has only the desktop version and provides its visitors with no mobile application. It does not mean that the site is hard to access but the application makes exploitation of services more convenient. Services & Support Dream Marriage provides its clients with a wide range of options if they want to contact Ukrainian girls dating foreigners or amazing Russian ladies. However, the functionality you get depends on the type of membership you have. You can start from the free membership but you would be allowed only to browse profiles: if you do not have paid membership, you cannot send winks to ladies, text them or call. To enjoy live chats, video and phone calls, to send video letters, to order delivery of gifts or flowers you need to purchase one of 4 membership packages. Also, the site would help you with organizing a tour to Russia or Ukraine, would ensure renting an apartment and would provide you with an interpreter. Translation services are available during email exchange or phone calls. You can also ask for personal lessons in order to improve your Russian.

If you do not want to miss any lady that have just entered the site you should check the list of new brides on a regular basis. In such a way you would keep a track of newcomers and would have a possibility to contact them as soon as they registered. As the site have pretty big database you can always initiate a dialogue with one of the women who are recently online. At least a few hundred ladies are on the site constantly. If you cannot make your mind and decide which girl is the most attractive for you, you can create a list of favorites and add a few ladies to the list. It would help you not to lose any beautiful woman. Quality of Profiles When Russian beauties and Ukrainian girls register on the site they have to fill in a questionnaire. It contains diverse questions considering the information on age, appearance (height, eye color, weight, etc.), habits, religion, language proficiency, and many other aspects. If you are looking for particular traits in a woman you can apply advanced search options and segregate all the members according to your preferences. Such action helps you meet Russian singles that possess features attractive for you. Also, you can pay attention to videos that women upload to their profiles. After registration girls are expected to create an introductory video that helps the men to understand them better: video convey much more information about personality and appearance of a girl than her written profile.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Providers and Treatment Centers In The United States. Temperature Modulation for Neuroprotection After Acute Brain InjuryA growing body of basic science as well as translational and human experimental data supports the concept that mild therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and therapeutic normothermia (TN) are beneficial for patients with acute neurologic injuries. At the cellular level, acute brain injury is characterized by an initial insult that is complicated by secondary biochemical and hemodynamic injuries. Events over hours to days lead to very different outcomes; injured cells may lyse, causing inflammation, releasing cytotoxic neurotransmitters, and perpetuating a cycle of injury. They may undergo apoptosis, or they may recover and return gradually to normal cellular function and activity. Aggressive clinical management during the early phases of injury can have a major impact on long- term neurologic outcomes. ![]() CELL INJURY AND DEATH Ed Friedlander, M.D., Pathologist [email protected] No texting or chat messages, please.

In low- flow states, neurons in a watershed distribution between large- vessel vascular territories are more likely to be injured. When ischemia is caused by the combination of high intracranial pressure (ICP) and low cerebral perfusion pressure, such as in global cerebral edema, an isolated pattern of cortical laminar necrosis may develop. Finally, in traumatic brain injury (TBI), rotational points in the basal ganglia, midbrain and brainstem may develop ischemia and infarction due to disruption of the blood supply. Prolonged hypoperfusion due to any of these mechanisms may cause microvascular thrombosis, resulting in the “no- reflow” phenomenon and regional cellular necrosis, even if large vessel patency is restored. Brain temperature has direct effects on the speed of enzymatic reactions and cellular metabolism, and it is an important modulator of brain injury. Hypothermia reduces the metabolic demands (and therefore ischemia risk) of the injured brain, decreases cytotoxic neurotransmitter release and inflammation, and decreases ICP without affecting systemic blood pressure. This reduces secondary injury by multiple pathways. Hypothermia also prevents the activation of apoptotic signaling pathways and stabilizes neuronal cell membranes. Conversely, fever activates inflammatory pathways, increases cellular metabolism, and is associated with more severe histological features of injury and worse long- term neurologic outcomes. Uses for Temperature Management. While moderate and deep hypothermia (below 3. C) are associated with electrolyte disturbances, cardiac electrical instability, coagulopathy, sepsis and circulatory collapse, mild TH (≥3. C) generally is tolerated well. Aside from asymptomatic bradycardia, TH is associated with a low incidence of bleeding, hypokalemia, hemodynamically significant arrhythmias and infection.(1,2)Development of pneumonia in mechanically ventilated patients with brain injury is common, and many clinicians offer preemptive antimicrobial prophylaxis.(3) Hypothermia is immunosuppressive, and the incidence of infectious complications rises steeply after two to three days of therapy. Similarly, shivering increases systemic and cerebral metabolic demands, and aggressive suppression of shivering may prevent exacerbation of ischemic brain injury.(4)Hypoxic- ischemic encephalopathy after cardiac arrest. Two randomized controlled trials confirm that 1. TH at 3. 2 to 3. 4ºC in encephalopathic adult survivors of cardiac arrest reduces mortality by 1. Postimplementation reports have demonstrated that hypothermia can be initiated outside of the clinical trial environment with similar results.(7,8)Additional indications for TH after cardiac arrest remain controversial. Many clinicians treat hypoxic- ischemic encephalopathy due to pulseless electrical activity, asystole, hypoxemia or asphyxia, and in- hospital cardiac arrests. Although these patients suffer similar mechanisms of neuronal injury, fewer than 1. Some clinicians worry that aggressive treatment of these patients may only increase the number of patients surviving with severe neurologic disabilities. It is our practice to perform TH on all encephalopathic cardiac arrest survivors unless severe shock is present or severe medical comorbidities exist. Neonatal post- anoxic encephalopathy. A meta- analysis of four randomized trials supports the routine administration of mild TH for newborns with asphyxial hypoxic- ischemic encephalopathy, also showing that one poor neurologic outcome or death is prevented for every six infants treated.(9) A randomized controlled trial involving 2. C for 7. 2 hours, followed by slow rewarming.(1. Hepatic encephalopathy. Asian Sexual Dating - 1. Free Asian Sex Dating Site. Sign up now! Join for 1. FREE to meet 1. 00.

While I encourage blank paper coloring for free expression as often as possible, for many preschoolers pre- printed.
