They are the "three men from Maaloula who refused to repudiate their faith," and were killed for this reason, said Patriarch Gregory III Laham <strong><a href="http://www.asianews.it/news-en/For-Gregorios-III-Laham,-the-Christian-mission-in-Syria-is-reconciliation-among-Muslims-29700.html" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;">during his meeting with Pope Francis on Sunday</a></strong>, this according to a press release issued by the Catholic Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East, of Alexandria and Jerusalem of the Melkites.</p><p>The events that led to the three men's death occurred during fighting on 3 -7 September in the town of Maaloula.</p><p>According to eyewitness accounts, men from the Syrian Free Army and the Jabhat al-Nusra Islamic Front carried out a coordinated attack in order to take control of Maaloula.</p><p>When the town fell, a climate of fear was imposed, witnesses said. When three men refused to repudiate their religion, they were summarily executed in public, and six more were taken hostage. This was followed by a failed attempt by Syrian government forces to retake the town (<em>pictured</em>).</p><p>"You," Gregorios III told the pope, "spoke to us, asking us not to let the flame of hope die in our hearts . . . . We want to be martyrs on this earth, martyrs in blood, as was the case for some of our faithful, including the three men from Maaloula: Michel Thalab, Mtanios Thalab and Sarkis Zachem."</p><p>"Holy Father, they are true martyrs. Ordered to give up their faith, they proudly refused. Three others however gave in and were forced to declare themselves Muslim, but later returned to the faith of their ancestors."</p><p>According to what the families who fled from Maaloula had to say, some of their Muslim neighbours took part in the attack that devastated this historic village where people still speak Aramaic, the language of Jesus. Muslims are approximately one third of the population of the village, which is about 50 kilometres from Damascus.</p><p>"Our Church, which you love, today is a church in distress," the Patriarch said. "For this church, which is facing an unprecedented situation in its history, you are Simon of Cyrene, who carried the cross."</p><p>"Like the Blessed Pope John Paul II who, through his prayers and brave actions brought down the Berlin Wall, you, Holy Father, have performed a miracle, calling on Christians and the whole world to fast and pray. You brought about a turning point in the Syrian crisis and in the vision of global politics. The world, after 7 September 2013, has changed."</p><p> ======================================</p><p><br /></p><h1 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0.5em 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">MARTYRS OF DAMASCUS</span></h1><div>source: https://www.encyclopedia.com/religion/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/damascus-martyrs</div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #575757; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 22px; margin: 1em 0px;">A group of eleven martyrs, eight Franciscans and three laymen, put to death for their faith during the night of July 9<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode"; font-size: inherit;">–</span>10, 1860, at damascus, Syria (then part of Turkey in Asia), and beatified Oct. 10, 1926.

After their refusal to apostatize, they were slaughtered. The Massabki brothers, who had taken refuge with them, had received Holy Communion and were praying at the foot of the altar. A Muslim notable who owed Francis 8,000 napoleons proposed to spare all three if only they would embrace Islam. Francis told the Muslim to keep the money, but that he would give his soul to no one. The brothers, thereupon, were martyred.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #575757; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 22px; margin: 1em 0px;">Feast: July 10.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #575757; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 22px; margin: 1em 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Bibliography:</span> a. butler, <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Lives of the Saints</i>, ed. h. thurston and d. attwater 3:68<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode"; font-size: inherit;">–</span>70.</p><div class="adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls" data-google-query-id="CKyc0vXFioADFQeK0QQdIfgNyw" id="AdThrive_Content_1_desktop" style="align-items: center; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #575757; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 22px; justify-content: center; line-height: 0; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; min-height: 250px; overflow-x: visible; text-align: center;"></div><p>They the Franciscans and the three lay Syrian brothers are being considered by the Vatican for canonization by 2025.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My father Michael said: "<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;">As youngsters we used to charter a bus to visit Maaloula and Saidnaya every year on pilgrimage along with our parents."</span></p></div>Yusuf (JP) Saleeby, MDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14399107187748399829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14054690.post-84607821019216836082023-07-07T19:46:00.003-04:002023-07-07T19:46:46.128-04:00Queston: Why don't sharks eat other sharks?

Out with the Ravanel/Lagare contractors who made off with $20K for much of nothing... they were not properly licensed, nor did they pay for the building permit. They owe us big time. New contractors are the dream so far. Bruno and Dario are great and their crew/subs are awesome; they have done more in 5 days than the other had done in 5 months.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">pic below:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We did it... we transitioned over to "seniors''<p><span style="font-size: large;"> So this week while searching for a new GYM to join to get back into shape after the pandemic we took a look at the usual ones... Planet Fitness, PIVOT and then the local Mt. Pleasant city Senior Center... yup, inclusion criteria was age over 50... check, check.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So to compare... the Senior Center was way nicer, cleaner, lighter and offered more classes and activities (even Karaoke). The gym equipment was modern, clean, high-end and available... was a pretty wow gym compared to others and we can avoid the muscle heads that hog equipment.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So we JOINED for $140/person/year was a deal. No long-term contract and 1.5miles walk from our Haven.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Call us Seniors... we wear the badge proudly.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>Yusuf (JP) Saleeby, MDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14399107187748399829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14054690.post-4826123756613823582023-01-04T17:13:00.003-05:002023-01-04T17:13:42.089-05:00The Origins and Lore Behind 12 US Holidays<p> </p><heading style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0;

The day remained unofficial until 1885 when it became a federal holiday. Celebration of the February birthday of another presidential giant, Abraham Lincoln, became standard among the states after his death in 1865, and by 1970, a push by labor for more three-day weekends moved the date to a regular Monday and combined federal celebration of Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthdays. Savvy marketers are credited with popularizing “Presidents Day” sales for the long weekend, leading to a more general celebration of all chief executives. </span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(229, 231, 235); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; max-width: 100%;"><span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(229, 231, 235); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder; max-width: 100%;">The lore. </span>Washington was actually born Feb. 11, 1732<span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(229, 231, 235); box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%;">—according to the Julian Calendar.

He was kidnapped by raiders and brought to Ireland, where he worked as a shepherd. After six years, he converted to Christianity and had a vision that a ship was waiting for him to take him home—so, he promptly went home to Britain, thanked God, and headed back to Ireland to convert more people to his faith. He died March 17, and became newly converted Ireland’s patron saint. </span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff;

With very little Union presence in Texas, slaveholders there continued as usual. It wasn’t until federal troops arrived in Galveston in June 1865 that the enslaved people there heard the news they’d been freed. As the last part of the Union holding enslaved people, it marked the end of slavery in the US. For years, emancipated Texans celebrated the holiday, and as they migrated around the country, the tradition spread.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5);

In one of the rare instances of peaceful cooperation between European settlers and Native Americans, members of the Wampanoag tribe helped train the remaining “pilgrims”—as they are called—to grow corn, draw sap from trees, and avoid poisonous plants. The assistance helped make the harvest in the fall of 1621 bountiful, so much so that the pilgrims and the natives gathered for a three-day feast. The story is true, but the painting of the feast as the first Thanksgiving is merely retroactive—the pilgrims were not consciously inaugurating a holiday. It didn’t become an official federal holiday until 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln set aside the fourth Thursday in November to give thanks.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(229, 231, 235); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; max-width: 100%;"><span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(229, 231, 235); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; max-width: 100%;">The lore. </span>Turkeys were likely <span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(229, 231, 235); box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%;">not on the menu at the 1621 pilgrim-Wampanoag feast. | </span>Mary Josepha Hale<span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(229, 231, 235); box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%;">—the author of “Mary Had a Little Lamb”—began a decadeslong campaign to make Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1827. | </span>President Franklin D.

The day remained unofficial until 1885 when it became a federal holiday. Celebration of the February birthday of another presidential giant, Abraham Lincoln, became standard among the states after his death in 1865, and by 1970, a push by labor for more three-day weekends moved the date to a regular Monday and combined federal celebration of Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthdays. Savvy marketers are credited with popularizing “Presidents Day” sales for the long weekend, leading to a more general celebration of all chief executives. </span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(229, 231, 235); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; max-width: 100%;"><span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(229, 231, 235); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder; max-width: 100%;">The lore. </span>Washington was actually born Feb. 11, 1732<span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(229, 231, 235); box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%;">—according to the Julian Calendar.

He was kidnapped by raiders and brought to Ireland, where he worked as a shepherd. After six years, he converted to Christianity and had a vision that a ship was waiting for him to take him home—so, he promptly went home to Britain, thanked God, and headed back to Ireland to convert more people to his faith. He died March 17, and became newly converted Ireland’s patron saint. </span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff;

With very little Union presence in Texas, slaveholders there continued as usual. It wasn’t until federal troops arrived in Galveston in June 1865 that the enslaved people there heard the news they’d been freed. As the last part of the Union holding enslaved people, it marked the end of slavery in the US. For years, emancipated Texans celebrated the holiday, and as they migrated around the country, the tradition spread.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5);

In one of the rare instances of peaceful cooperation between European settlers and Native Americans, members of the Wampanoag tribe helped train the remaining “pilgrims”—as they are called—to grow corn, draw sap from trees, and avoid poisonous plants. The assistance helped make the harvest in the fall of 1621 bountiful, so much so that the pilgrims and the natives gathered for a three-day feast. The story is true, but the painting of the feast as the first Thanksgiving is merely retroactive—the pilgrims were not consciously inaugurating a holiday.

Robert one of the managing owners was ALWAYS late for our meetings. Unable to provide a proper BID (like it was his first time at this thing) and never was able to provide an on time acceptable contract (stated he had to get a lawyer involved); so, I suppose this was his first real job. After a partial DEMO, some contracted items were never done. We were forced to fire them after almost seven months of going around-and-around on things. They took a $20K retainer and the Demo invoice was for $8K; so once we fired them we asked for the balance to be returned. They refused and said they would put a lien on our property. What?!?! How unprofessional and lame is this. So we are out about $20,000, and all we have to show is a water damaged building (from the demo job) and a whole lot of frustration. I would suggest others not use this company until they grow up and treat their clients better.</span></div><div class="KtCyie" jsan="7.KtCyie,t-upDpcybThQM" jstcache="416" style="margin: 15px -24px 0px;"><button aria-label="Photo 1 on Yusuf Saleeby, MD's review" class="Tya61d" data-photo-index="0" data-review-id="ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNCMElUQVhREAE" data-tooltip="" jsaction="pane.review.openPhoto;keydown:pane.review.openPhoto;focus:pane.focusTooltip;blur:pane.blurTooltip" jsan="7.Tya61d,0.data-photo-index,0.data-review-id,0.data-tooltip,5.background-image,5.width,5.padding-top,5.margin-right,0.jsaction,0.aria-label,t-OHhk6wkarjE" jsinstance="0" jstcache="466" style="background: url("https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipP796K3yDrIFE8tnbnqtQq4IkjnmNZyqc-aUmHM=w300-h225-p-k-no") 0% 0% / cover rgb(112, 117, 122); border-color: initial; border-radius: 0px; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; cursor: pointer; float: left; font: inherit; height: 73px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 2px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: calc(37.5% - 1px) 0px 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: calc(50% - 1px);"></button><button aria-label="Photo 2 on Yusuf Saleeby, MD's review" class="Tya61d" data-photo-index="1" data-review-id="ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNCMElUQVhREAE" data-tooltip="" jsaction="pane.review.openPhoto;keydown:pane.review.openPhoto;focus:pane.focusTooltip;blur:pane.blurTooltip" jsan="7.Tya61d,0.data-photo-index,0.data-review-id,0.data-tooltip,5.background-image,5.width,5.padding-top,0.jsaction,0.aria-label,t-OHhk6wkarjE" jsinstance="1" jstcache="466" style="background: url("https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipO6TZ3Q9sCZ7MZ4WJtD6wuGiIlaJo4Rtgc5eOmD=w300-h225-p-k-no") 0% 0% / cover rgb(112, 117, 122); border-color: initial; border-radius: 0px; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; cursor: pointer; float: left; font: inherit; height: 73px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: calc(37.5% - 1px) 0px 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: calc(50% - 1px);"></button><button aria-label="Photo 3 on Yusuf Saleeby, MD's review" class="Tya61d" data-photo-index="2" data-review-id="ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNCMElUQVhREAE" data-tooltip="" jsaction="pane.review.openPhoto;keydown:pane.review.openPhoto;focus:pane.focusTooltip;blur:pane.blurTooltip" jsan="7.Tya61d,0.data-photo-index,0.data-review-id,0.data-tooltip,5.background-image,5.width,5.padding-top,5.margin-right,5.margin-top,0.jsaction,0.aria-label,t-OHhk6wkarjE" jsinstance="2" jstcache="466" style="background: url("https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipNa1AvzrOKeZCRoXiiTG3tT2FqznfCX-Keg3vpK=w300-h225-p-k-no") 0% 0% / cover rgb(112, 117, 122); border-color: initial; border-radius: 0px; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; cursor: pointer; float: left; font: inherit; height: 73px; list-style: none; margin: 2px 2px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: calc(37.5% - 1px) 0px 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: calc(50% - 1px);"></button><button aria-label="Photo 4 on Yusuf Saleeby, MD's review" class="Tya61d" data-photo-index="3" data-review-id="ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNCMElUQVhREAE" data-tooltip="" jsaction="pane.review.openPhoto;keydown:pane.review.openPhoto;focus:pane.focusTooltip;blur:pane.blurTooltip" jsan="7.Tya61d,0.data-photo-index,0.data-review-id,0.data-tooltip,5.background-image,5.width,5.padding-top,5.margin-top,0.jsaction,0.aria-label,t-OHhk6wkarjE" jsinstance="*3" jstcache="466" style="background: url("https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipOgN6ZgQMmJmFh5mGlItkJhlcOlMonqeNexcRNN=w300-h225-p-k-no") 0% 0% / cover rgb(112, 117, 122); border-color: initial; border-radius: 0px; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; cursor: pointer; float: left; font: inherit; height: 73px; list-style: none; margin: 2px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: calc(37.5% - 1px) 0px 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: calc(50% - 1px);"></button></div><div style="clear: both;"></div><div class="Upo0Ec vmVquc" jsan="7.Upo0Ec,7.vmVquc,t-E5efOUBAMfs" jstcache="417" style="display: flex; margin-top: 20px;"><button aria-label=" Mark Yusuf Saleeby, MD's review as helpful.

On the weekends, the trash by the front door of Building 7, overflows. It is primarily the green bags of dog excrement. When the trash is full, dog owners throw them on the ground by the trash can.<br /><br />2. The Abandoned Subaru in front of our building has been sitting there for close to a year. I’ve reported it several times. Is this person dead? It’s a female. Does her family know her car is here? Do I need to report it to the police?

the medical organization A4M for a couple of reasons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chief among my discontent for the organization
was their stance on aging. They took too radical a view of aging as a disease
process rather than part of life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
A4M medical organization has radicalized aging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Aging is a process of human life not a disease in my humble opinion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the mitochondria to the cell, organ, and
organism, regardless of genus or species aging is a process or
progression.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The focus should be to age
gracefully and not a goal of 180 years or immortality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AI and transhumanism may help achieve this
but do we really want to become the Borg of Star Trek infamy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For most of humanity the life expectancy of
was around mid-30-years of age from 3000 years ago in ancient Egypt to 1800s
Europe. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the advent of advances in
medical science in the past 100 to 200 years our life expectancy has climbed
however our genes have not kept up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An
excellent example is the use of bioidentical hormone replacement in
post-menopausal women.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At age 50-ish
most women’s ovaries will fail and production of eggs for fertilization, sex
hormones such as progesterone, estrogens and testosterone among others sputter
out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The timer has run out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Evolution of our genome has not caught up to
our scientific advances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, for women
to maintain a youthful status (lower heart attack rates, fewer skin wrinkles,
lower risk for osteoporosis, etc.) they must take on exogenous hormone
replacement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Since early man first arose to a bipedal position and gained the
capacity to think and dream of the future, he has yearned for a longer
life. We as a species have the gift of contemplating our future and a
desire to outlive and survive the predators that hunted us down as we
progressed from hunter-gatherers to a civilized farmer culture. Through
the millions of years of evolutionary development in our body, mind, and
cultures, we settled into a less nomadic existence from hunter-gatherers to
that of farmers. We acquired land and more possessions and wanted to see
a fuller life to enjoy the fruits of our hard labors. Those with the
means and material wealth less burdened by the day-to-day issues of surviving
were allowed the luxury to dream of living longer. Human culture has
forever been permeated with the notion of living forever or at least longer
than its current average today. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Greek mythology has its immortals in the form of gods and
god-human hybrids. Some examples of god-blessed humans with longevity do
not have happy outcomes. Take the example of Tithonus in Greek
mythology. Tithonus was a strapping mortal who fell in love with
Eos. Eos, being the goddess of dawn, is an immortal and when she realizes
her lover will be destined to get old and die, she petitions Zeus to grant
Tithonus immortality. Zeus being quite the jealous god, not pleased with
Eos’s infatuation with a mortal man bequests Tithonus with immortality, but
with a catch. As time goes by, he becomes wrought with disease and
dementia. Tithonus is immortal but does not maintain his youth. Eos
must now sit and watch for eternity her lover become increasingly decrepit.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Ancient alchemists have searched for the tinctures to extend
life. Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang, around 200 BCE, was convinced by the
court’s scientists to consume mercury sulfide (cinnabar) in efforts to achieve
immortality. Obviously, this elixir did more to shorten his life than
extend it. Sixteenth-century Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon is an
example of someone so caught up in the longing for longevity that he searched
the New World for the fountain of youth. Today you have contemporary
writers such as Dave Asprey in his book <i>Super Human</i> who espouse wanting
to live to 180-years of age. He uses the word “biohacking’’ as a means to
achieve this and self-experiments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That
can be dangerous and can backfire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It is an innate human desire to live as long as we can.
Whether you believe aging is a disease or just a part of the process of life it
becomes an exercise in epistemology to philosophize about it, but the end
result is the same. If one searches long enough one will find examples of
people doing all the right things yet succumb at an age younger than predicted
for them. Other searches will yield folks who seem to do it all wrong yet
live well beyond the average. An example of this would be the late Jeanne
Calment who passed away in 1997 at the age of 122 years and 162 days making
this French supercentenarian a record holder at the time of her death.
Jeanne was noted to have a daily single Dunhill cigarette and a glass of port
wine. Not someone who was necessarily keen on the processes and
disciplines we believe today to extend our life. Another would be the
American comedian George Burns who would imbibe regularly with scotch whiskey
and have a cigar at his lips constantly. He lived to the ripe old age of
100. While his spouse Gracie Allen who lived a cleaner life yet burdened
by inherited heart disease lived to only 69. George outlived her by
thirty-two years. There will be outliers. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">If one is to practice anti-aging medicine, they must first define
aging. Aging is therefore defined loosely as a complex biological process
that the body, organs, cells and even molecules are subject. The process
is a progressive, inescapable, and eventual decline in function of the ability
for the body and its systems to act on both internal and external
stressors. Aging can further be defined as a gradual functional decline
across all systems. A continuum that persists from optimal health to
dysfunction to failure and ultimately death as the endpoint. There is
really no universally held or accepted theory of aging. Aging principles
are in reality a constellation of theories with each contributing in its own
way. These include the </span><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="Picture_x0020_2"

theory, Free Radical theory, Membrane theory, Decline theory, and the
Cross-Linking theory to name a few popular ones. One should also add in
the genetic age limits (Hayflick limit) and the immune system’s impact on
aging. There are many seriously complex processes from telomere
lengths to autophagy that are involved in aging and lifespan/healthspan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
