![]() And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three and the greatest of these is love. Now I know only in part then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. For now, we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end as for tongues, they will cease as for knowledge, it will come to an end. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. It does not insist on its own way it is not irritable or resentful it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. Love is patient love is kind love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. Love the way Paul understood love in his letter to the Corinthians, Find a way to love others freely and joyously and without manipulations or expectations. So, my Valentine's Day card to all of you, dear readers, is to love beyond flowers and candy and cards. Free will makes love possible and love makes faith possible and faith makes a future for us all possible. Without free will love is impossible because we cannot choose anything. Love is the reason God gave us free will so that we could choose to love God and choose to love each other. ![]() ![]() Love is the foundation of our lives as ensouled beings made in the image of a loving God. The commandment to love God and love our neighbors is taught by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount as the two most important teachings of the Bible (Mark 12:28-34). The Golden Rule of loving others as we would like to be loved (Leviticus 19:18) is the bond that unites all the faiths of the world east and west. We are created and loved by God and so we love God in return. The Torah's commandment to love God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your might (Deuteronomy 6:5) is the essence of Judaism's understanding of our obligations to God. The main teaching of the Bible is that our love for each other is a reflection of God's love for each and every one of us. They are all types of love, but the self-emptying element of love unites them all. Philia is the form of love we have for dear friends and Storge is the form of love we have for our family. Agape is the form of love we hold in our souls for God. Even the formulaic giving of flowers and candy as I grew beyond Valentine's cards has not over the years quenched my ardor for a day that despite its cliché goofiness remains a celebration of the highest human emotion and that is love. In the old days at school in Milwaukee, when Valentine's Day cards were exchanged in class, I was able to feel the first stirrings of love and that was a glorious feeling. ![]() It is about cards and flowers and, yes, more candy but, of course, it is mostly about love and that is enough for me because love in our world right now is in very short supply. The combined joy of candy and trick or treating around your neighborhood that is suddenly transformed into a place of true communal celebration is enough for me to tolerate the spiritually suspect intrusion of ghouls and zombies. Valentine's Day is much like Halloween in that respect. I know it is a Christian holiday at root but so is Halloween and I love Halloween too. Of all the second-rank holidays that follow the big three of Passover, Easter and Christmas my favorite is Valentine's Day. ![]() Like all Khan Academy offerings, all Duck Duck Moose apps are now 100% free, without ads or subscriptions.

The left eye was done first and seemed great. I upgraded to the premium Alcon Acrysof IQ toric lens. I am severely myopic and have astigmatism. Hello, I had cataract surgery done on both my eyes in June 3 weeks apart. I continue to research surgeons in Pittsburgh area who know how to avoid the dysphotopsia problems of my first IOL implant. As said previously, I put off surgery for RIGHT eye cataract this fall because of fear it will end up the same as my left. – I explored the prospect of an lens exchange, but local doctors are strongly against it saying risks of a worse outcome are not worth it.ĪLL of the above are related to my LEFT eye, the one on which I had cataract surgery in late 2019. I’m, also, trying yellow glasses to try to calm the glare/halos/streaks at night driving with limited success. – Since, I have a very slight astigmatism, my optometrist gave me the very lowest power toric and it helps me a little to see street/highway signs. I, actually, had worse halos/light glare and acuity was also worse – I tried the photochromic contact lens in my eye in attempt to decrease the severe streaks and halos. With that, I’ll update what I’ve found out and done lately: I’m thinking that this percentage is low as some post operative patients say, “well, my vision is fine except I can’t drive at night anymore because of the lights.” Also, when my surgeon tells me “dysphotopsias are very rare”, this gives me no solace since I am “1 for 1” (I had one eye done and got dysphotopsia 100 percent of the time). That’s, certainly, good for the many people who have had cataract surgery, In reading online, seems that the data shows long term positive dysphotopsia occurs in about only 1.5% or so of patients. ![]() Ok, I guess the lack of entries on post cataract dysphotopsias might show that they are, in fact, rare. Have you looked into getting photochromic contacts or glasses? BLOG: Educate patients on transient nature of dysphotopsias: Dealing with positive and negative dysphotopsias: Here are a couple of articles you may find helpful on the topic. The surgeon did give me an RX for glasses to fix the reading and suggested I could have them as bifocals or progressive lenses so I recently had a pair made and wear them most of the time and they seem to make a difference with the night time glare that I still noticed a little, although not as bad as prior to my cataract surgery. I was bugged because I always had to have 1.25 reading glasses with me to read labels at the store. Regular sunglasses help me during the day. I had the standard IOLs used and I did notice some glare on bright days and sometimes at night. I had cataract surgery done to both of my eyes last year and was really happy with the results because I no longer had to wear glasses for driving. ![]() OTHER FUN TRADITIONS you could include in your holiday season this year:įrom Germany: Put out wooden shoes (or you can put shoes or boots near the fireplace) out on December 6th.

The strategic aspect of drone racing comprises both physical and mental components, he said. “It’s based on: did you fly better than the next guy?” “For all the pilots, what determines whether you get to the finish gate first or last is based off of how you fly the drone,” Turner said. This uniformity in the equipment levels the playing field to where victory is achieved solely based on the skill of the pilot. They’re the people behind the scenes, maintaining all the drones, setting them all up for the pilots beforehand.” “The DRL has done all the research and development,” Turner said. Unlike in auto racing, where competing teams design and build their own vehicles, DRL racers all operate the same make and model of drone, the custom-built DRL Racer4. ![]() I was kind of next in line to take my shot at it.”Ĭompeting at the level of the DRL requires a combination of skill and strategy. “DRL was pushing to find the best pilots in the world. Turner began competing in amateur drone races at the age of 14 and joined the DRL at 16. “About the time when I was 12 years old, my Dad got into drones, because he wanted to be better than me at something.” “My dad would get frustrated that I was better than him,” he said. Turner said the switch was also partly the result of his mastery of R-C aircraft exceeding that of his father. This was flying remote-control planes, before drones even existed.”Īfter several years, as technologically sophisticated drones began taking over the hobbyist market for unmanned aircraft, the father-son duo switched to the newer kind of unmanned aerial vehicles. “When my Dad came home from work and I’d come home from school, I’d get on the simulator. “I have flown something that flies in remote control since I was 6 years old, alongside my dad,” he recalled. Pilots compete during a multi-city tour in a series of virtual and physical competitions.įor Turner, who celebrated his 19 th birthday last month, re-winning his DRL championship is the high point of his young life, and caps a career of piloting unmanned aerial vehicles that began at a very young age. The company describes ideal candidates as individuals with a keen sense of detail, exceptional organization and multitasking abilities, and the self-motivation to stay on task in a fast-paced work environment.The DRL, the premier global professional drone racing league, challenges elite pilots to fly custom-built racing drones traveling at speeds of up to 90 mph. The Drone Racing League looks for applicants who can support the development and execution of its global marketing strategy. Freelance DRL jobs have included positions in online advertising, editing, copywriting, marketing, and social media.

Last month, State University of New York campuses in Buffalo and Albany suspended official Greek activities and launched reviews of Greek life on their campuses after a student at the Buffalo campus died during a suspected fraternity hazing. "We seek a path forward that enhances safety and accountability, while respecting the rights of students and chapters that live up to high fraternal standards," Shelton says.Īcross the country, other campuses are making moves similar to the one UTA announced. Todd Shelton, a spokesman for the North American Interfraternity Conference, says the organization, which represents fraternities across the country, is "a committed partner" with UTA as the university deals with the question of campus Greek life. Two weeks after the university announced the suspension, a female student told Arlington police that an acquaintance had sexually assaulted her at the Kappa Sigma fraternity house. In an open letter dated April 9, UTA President Vistasp Karbhari wrote that the suspension would give the university a chance to "pause and thoughtfully consider proactive actions on the basis of which we can better strengthen and grow Greek life." It's very popular." - John Hechinger tweet thisĭuring the suspension, university officials plan to assemble a task force to study Greek life on campus and make recommendations by the end of summer about changes to the school's fraternity and sorority system. They want to have a place where they can, at least in theory, drink illegally. University officials also received reports of other misconduct, including one alcohol violation that led to a student needing medical attention. On April 1, UTA officials announced the university would direct its Greek organizations to suspend all social activities, citing "growing concerns related to the culture of the fraternity and sorority community at UTA." In a statement, officials said seven Greek organizations were found to be responsible for violations of the university's code of conduct in the last two years. "Greek life is way more entrenched in colleges than most people understand," Hechinger says. An outright ban on Greek organizations would also bring up a host of challenges, including finding housing for hundreds or thousands of students who would otherwise be living in chapter houses. University administrators have lost their jobs over failed attempts to punish fraternities. Historically, universities have found it difficult to rein in their Greek organizations, let alone ban them altogether, Hechinger says. Probably not, says John Hechinger, author of the book True Gentlemen: The Broken Pledge of America's Fraternities. At a time when those organizations are attracting increased scrutiny from education officials, parents and lawmakers, is campus Greek life destined to be a thing of the past? Over the last several years, a number of colleges and universities across the country have suspended Greek social events and conducted reviews of their fraternity and sorority systems. ![]() When the University of Texas at Arlington announced last month that it would prohibit its fraternities and sororities from holding social events on campus, it joined a growing list of colleges and universities that are taking action against their Greek organizations. |
