We here in DogFacePonia, saw this coming. Chicago is basically unprepared to handle anything, crime, protests, or reality. Shortages were unexpected by many but when LEFT ignored problems, instead they only exacerbated them. Shortages are already being reported 1)      Tampons are in high demand. This was unexpected even though Democrats multiplied the bathroom demand by 2x.... The post Left Unprepared, DNC Causes Shortages in Chicago appeared first on DogFacePonia.

August 19, 2024 A Call To PersevereRUTH CHOU SIMONS Lee en español "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us ..." Hebrews 12:1 (NIV) Though western Colorado is replete with stunning views and mountain-town-vacation vibes, my family struggled to find deep community here. Even after a few years, we felt isolated in public ministry and wrestled with all that we lacked by living in a rural area. For several months, we seriously considered moving. How much easier and better it would be for our whole family if we moved somewhere with more schooling options, more friends and fellowship, more encouragement in ministry ... and of course, more access to Costco. But ultimately, this season wasn't about finding a new location for the Simons family; it was about meeting God where He had already placed us. It was about loving the very difficult place we were desperately trying to escape. Amid our desire to get to where we wanted to go, the clarion call was to start where we already were and to use what we already had. It was a call to persevere. New Testament writers shared a common framework for encouraging their readers to persevere. More often than not, their encouragement in Scripture begins with this word: "Therefore." We find "therefore" repeated throughout the letters to the Church as the writers reminded believers that persevering is possible. One of my favorite "therefores" is at the beginning of Hebrews 12: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus ..." (Hebrews 12:1-2, NIV). This particular "therefore" comes after a list of believers credited with undeniable, unshakable faith in Hebrews 11 - they are the "cloud of witnesses" in Hebrews 12:1. The writer of Hebrews is encouraging us to remember the faith of these past believers and, more importantly, to remember the God they put their faith in. And then Hebrews 12:1-2 gives practical instructions - the way we should respond in light of God's Truth: Throw off entangling sin. Sin clouds our ability to see God for who He truly is and distracts us from the tasks He's given us to do. Run with perseverance. The Holy Spirit empowers our perseverance, but that doesn't mean it won't require conscious effort on our part. Fix our eyes on Jesus. He's our perfect example! Friend, because Jesus is better than anything we could secure, we can live on purpose as we follow Him in all that He has for us. We can start where we are, with what we have, and persevere. What we believe about God - who He is and what He is like - compels us simply to take the next right step. And when we do, we start living hope-filled lives right now, even while our eyes are on all that is not yet. Father, we want to persevere. Grant us what it takes to run today's race well. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

A Prayer to Remember Who God Says I AmBy Kristine Brown "I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called-his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance." – Ephesians 1:18, NLT As a culture, we've grown accustomed to introducing ourselves with a short list of titles that describe who we are or what we do. I might offer my name and follow that with: I'm a teacher, a pastor's wife, or a writer. Other times, I might say I'm a mom or Mimi, depending on the situation. I've learned to be quick about tossing out a few details about my life that define me. Maybe because it helps me connect with the other person. Or, if I'm being totally honest, maybe it makes me feel like I've done something worthwhile … like my life is significant because of who I am.  But in all the ways I like to identify myself, I never start with the single most important detail that defines who I am, "Hello, my name is Kristine. I am a child of God!" Even saying it aloud right now as I write the words down, I catch myself sitting up a bit taller, lifting my chin a bit higher. There's something about reminding ourselves that we are children of God that will change our attitude. When our attitude lifts, so does our confidence. I've often imagined how people would react if I introduced myself that way, yet I never have the courage to try it. Because most days, I don't live like I am confident in my role as God's daughter. I face life's challenges from a position of defeat rather than from a place of victory through Jesus. I let the distractions and cares of this world weigh on my shoulders until the pressure can be visibly seen in my posture. But that's not how God wants his precious children to live. On days when I feel powerless- when I look in the mirror and see someone incapable of handling what life throws at her- I turn to Ephesians 1 and remind myself how God sees me. The apostle Paul encouraged the church at Ephesus to know who they were as co-heirs with Christ. He implored them to see themselves as God saw them. "I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called-his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance." (Ephesians 1:18) I love the image of God flooding our hearts with light, especially in those times when I don't see clearly. The English Standard Version translates Paul's words this way, "having the eyes of your hearts enlightened..." Paul prayed God would illuminate their hearts so that they would know and understand their special identity. And his prayer applies just as richly to our identity as God's children today. Let's take a look at 3 truths about who God says we are from Ephesians 1. I am loved and chosen by God. "Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes." (Ephesians 1:4) I am adopted into God's family. "God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure." (Ephesians 1:5) I am showered with God's kindness, wisdom, and understanding. "He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding." (Ephesians 1:8) With our hearts enlightened to these three truths, we can remember who God says we are, even when life wears us down. We can stand with confidence before the mirror, ready for any challenge, and boldly claim, "I am a child of God!" We are God's holy people, you and me, His rich and glorious inheritance. Shoulders back and chin up, my friend in the faith. Remember who God says you are as we pray together. Let's pray: Dear God,Thank you for reminding me of my identity as your child. Thank you for flooding my heart with light so that I can see clearly and understand who you say I am. Sometimes the challenges of life distract me and wear me down. I forget what your Word says-that I'm adopted into your family through the resurrection of your son, Jesus Christ. Forgive me for facing difficulties from a place of defeat. I am victorious because of you. Help me stand with confidence in my position as your daughter. Your word says you loved me and chose me before the creation of the world. Praise you, Lord, for who you are in my life, and thank you for claiming me as your own.In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.

BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM Researchers created what they are referring to as “smart” insulin, a novel treatment that adjusts in response to fluctuations in blood sugar levels. This discovery has the potential to revolutionize the lives of millions of people who suffer from type 1 diabetes. Unlike regular insulin, which requires numerous daily injections, these new glucose-responsive insulins (GRIs) are latent in the body and activate only when necessary. This advancement suggests that patients may ultimately require insulin injections as little as once a week. The science behind smart insulin Current insulin therapy, while life-saving, requires regular monitoring. To avoid the harmful extremes of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), patients must monitor their blood sugar levels on a regular basis and take insulin numerous times daily. Dr. Tim Heise, vice-chair of the Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge‘s novel insulins scientific advisory council, stated that “even with the currently available modern insulins, people living with type 1 diabetes have to put lots of effort into managing their diabetes every day.” The goal of smart insulins is to simplify this tedious routine. These unique insulins react to the body’s glucose levels, becoming active as blood sugar rises and turning off when it falls below a particular level. This real-time reaction closely resembles the body’s natural insulin control, providing a more precise and burden-free way to treat diabetes. Dr. Heise refers to glucose-responsive insulins as “the holy grail of insulin” because they have the potential to bring treatment as near to a cure as feasible without requiring continuous monitoring or several daily injections. Global efforts to accelerate development Six research teams throughout the world, including those at Stanford University in the United States, Monash University in Australia, and Zhejiang University in China, have received over £3 million ($3.87 million) to speed the development of these ground-breaking medicines. The financing is part of the Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge, a cooperation between Diabetes UK, JDRF, and the Steve Morgan Foundation, which has pledged £50 million ($64.5 million) to further research in the field. Each research team focuses on improving the speed, precision, and effectiveness of smart insulin technology. Four of the initiatives are solely focused on evaluating various GRIs, while the fifth involves developing ultrafast, short-acting insulin that could improve present insulin pump technologies. The sixth research is especially exciting because it involves a protein that combines insulin with glucagon, a hormone that boosts blood sugar levels. This dual-action method may help to keep blood glucose levels steady by preventing both highs and lows. Dr. Elizabeth Robertson, the director of research at Diabetes UK, highlights the potential impact of these projects: “By supporting these groundbreaking research projects, we are aiming to develop new insulins that more closely mimic the body’s natural responses to changing blood sugar levels. This could greatly reduce the daily problems of controlling type 1 diabetes while also improving the physical and mental health of those who live with the condition.” The promise of future diabetes management The ramifications of smart insulin are significant. If successful, these medicines could significantly reduce the burden of diabetes control, allowing individuals to live fuller, healthier lives without worry of complications caused by changing blood sugar levels. Rachel Connor, director of research partnerships at JDRF UK, echoes this sentiment: “Managing glucose levels with insulin is really tough, and it’s time for science to find ways to lift that burden.” While insulin has been a staple of diabetes therapy for more than a century, it is evident that present procedures are far from ideal. The discovery of smart insulins represents a tremendous step forward, providing hope to millions of people who confront the daily challenges of diabetes care. As these research efforts continue, the world may be on the verge of a new era in insulin therapy—one in which diabetes management is no longer a continual battle, but rather a smooth and natural part of daily life.The post Is ‘smart’ insulin the ‘holy grail of insulin’?—Advances in real-time diabetes management first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.

BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM Eating fruits and vegetables regularly is a terrific way to nourish your body, but before you start, make sure to wash them properly. Fresh produce frequently carries more than simply dirt; it may also contain bacteria, fungi, and pesticide residue. Even while we often focus on the dangers of raw meat and seafood, fruits and vegetables can also cause food-borne illnesses if not properly cleansed. Whether your produce comes from an outdoor garden or a greenhouse, washing it is essential for keeping your meals safe and wholesome. Washing fruits and vegetables not only removes visual dirt but also reduces the amount of hazardous germs, making them safer to eat. Gentle and effective washing techniques Rinsing your fruits and veggies with cold, running water is the simplest and most effective way to clean them. Start by washing your hands to avoid introducing germs to the food. Gently rub each item as you rinse to remove dirt, surface microorganisms, and pesticide residues. This procedure works with most varieties of produce and has no influence on their taste or texture. If you would rather soak your food, use a clean bowl instead of the sink, which can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Remember to avoid using soap, detergent, or bleach, as some fruits and vegetables might absorb these chemicals and become dangerous to consume. Using natural cleaners: vinegar and baking soda While water alone is pretty effective, some people choose to use natural cleaners such as vinegar or baking soda for an extra level of cleanliness. A vinegar solution (half a cup vinegar to one cup water) will help decrease bacteria and pesticide residues. Soak your vegetables for two to three minutes, then thoroughly rinse with cold water to avoid affecting the flavor. Baking soda is another gentle alternative. A teaspoon of baking soda per cup of water can help eliminate chemicals and microorganisms. Soak for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This is especially effective for tougher fruits and vegetables, but be careful not to soak delicate foods for too long, since this can damage their texture. Tailoring your approach Because not all fruits and vegetables are the same, you must adjust your cleaning process to each one. A vegetable brush works effectively for removing dirt and pollutants from hard-skinned vegetables such as potatoes and squash. Softer produce, such as tomatoes or grapes, should be gently rinsed under running water and rubbed with your hands. Before washing, separate leafy greens like lettuce, kale, and broccoli into individual leaves or florets. Rinse each piece with cold water, giving specific attention to areas where dirt and germs may hide. Because lettuce is frequently eaten raw, it’s a good idea to remove any damaged outer leaves that may harbor bacteria. Washing fruits with a high water content, such as berries, is best done immediately before you’re about to eat them. This prevents mold formation and keeps them fresher for longer. After washing, dry your vegetables with a paper towel or a salad spinner to eliminate extra moisture, which will help it last longer. How to store clean produce for freshness Once your fruits and veggies are clean, appropriate storage is essential to keeping them fresh. Dry them thoroughly before storing them in a covered jar in the refrigerator. This slows the growth of germs and keeps your vegetables fresh and flavorful. To avoid cross-contamination while making food, clean your kitchen surfaces, utensils, and sinks regularly. While washing your produce lessens the risk of foodborne disease, keep in mind that no method can entirely eliminate bacteria. To ensure extra safety, boil your fruits and veggies to at least 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit) to eliminate any leftover bacteria.The post How to wash your fruits and veggies like a microbiologist first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.
