Why I'm Beginning My Retirement Today... In My Thirties | Passive Income M.D.
It almost seems as if we're being told to just grind it out for 30 years, all in the hopes that you can actually enjoy the 30 years after that. Is that what life's really about?
I have two kids under the age of three. Do I really want to wait until they're 30 to be able to enjoy spending time with them? The reality is that by then, they'll have their own lives and possibly, families of their own. That just doesn't sit well with me.
That's why I've worked to set myself up in a way that allows me to start cutting back now, and begin enjoying a little bit more of life. Life itself is unpredictable; just look online and you'll see that tragedies are occurring more and more frequently with each passing day. My fellow physicians, life is short. Are we spending it living only for the future, or can we start enjoying it now? Surely a better balance exists.
Now, I don't necessarily advocate quitting your day job just to enjoy the present. On the contrary; I enjoy being a doctor and I hope I can continue working in some capacity for a very long time.
How is this possible? Well, it works if you can exchange some of your current daily income with passive income. As this income grows, you can, in a sense, begin your retirement now. Through my different ventures and depending on the month, a good chunk of my expenses are covered entirely by passive income.
Sure, there will be unexpected things that come up and I know there are some huge expenses headed my way (newsflash: putting your kids through school is expensive!). But hopefully, the streams of passive income I've set up will take the edge off some of those expenses.
I realize doing this for yourself can be a real test of willpower. It feels quite unnatural because as physicians, we're used to working up to the breaking point. We consider idle time wasted, and if we give up a shift or case, we focus only on the money we could have made if we had worked.
We tend to forget what we gain in return: time spent with family and time to recharge our batteries. You can't put a price on these things. Seeing the joy on my daughter's face as we play in the pool – that's the kind of thing I'll remember when I'm older, not the shift I gave up last week.
There are many articles out there that examine the top regrets of the dying. Almost universally, people's biggest regrets are working too hard, and they wish they had spent more time with their loved ones. Not a single person regretted not having more money, a better car, or a bigger house. That's a powerful lesson, and it's one that I want to learn and live by.
This idea of "early" retirement is obviously not something you can attempt to do without a plan. Fortunately, I have one and have been working hard to implement it.
So I'm going to give up my shift this weekend to a hungry colleague, and I'm going to begin my retirement… today.
Has anyone else begun to try this, or perhaps are considering it for yourself? Let me know your experiences; I'd love to hear them!
Previous articleHow Many Rental Properties Do You Need to Retire?
I know this is an old post but I came here via POF, and this post particularly resonated with me as I've been thinking about this lately, whether I would rather go all out and reach FI asap, or pace myself a bit more and retire a little later. Reaching FI asap requires all out work, a higher FI number since retirement (if I do retire) is longer and most savings is from brute force rather than compounding. If I pace myself, I could do part-time, it'll be more sustainable, I'll get to enjoy life more, I actually like my job and don't want to get out asap and I don't know what I'd do with my free time especially when kids are in school, I may be able to take a lesser paying but preferable role, compounding will be more effective, I'll less likely be affected by market fluctuations (most data seems to show that the longer you're in the market the smoother and higher your returns will likely be), my FI number will be slightly less, higher percentage of savings in tax-protected accounts, income less affected by taxes. The more I think about, the more I like the idea of enjoying a little more now at the expense of earlier FI.
I absolutely agree with you. There's a balance somewhere in there, and most people unfortunately never find it because they either just grind until they're ready to retire in their 60s or work til the bone to retire early and miss out on a lot of life. I'm more focused on finding that balance, but I believe the only way to do that is by adding on additional income streams. Do you have the option to go part-time anytime soon?

OT okay for Belarus
Salei overtime winner earns Belarus third tournament win
Mikhail Grabovski of Belarus once again came up big for his team. Photo: Matthew Murnaghan / HHOF-IIHF Images
ZURICH-KLOTEN – Belarus won its first game of the Qualification Round, defeating a determined Team Norway 3-2 in overtime. A late rush and good bounce off the boards saw Ruslan Salei score the game-ending goal. This afternoon's contest was the first Qualification Round game at Arena Zurich-Kloten at the 2009 World Championships. Norway came out and spent the first minute in the Belarus zone and throughout showed confidence in their ability to create offensive chances. Norway scored at 6:15 when Andre Mezin tried to clear the puck out of his zone. His pass was intercepted by Tore Vikingstad, who sent a backhand pass to Patrick Thoresen for a shot between faceoff circles that beat Mezin for the goal. Norway added another very early in the second period when Mats Trygg scored an unassisted goal. It was a power play goal 38 seconds into the period. Belarus would finally get on the board as they picked up the tempo and began playing with a sense of urgency. Some two minutes after Trygg scored, Alexei Ugarov would cut the lead in half. Jonas Holos was whistled off for hooking, allowing Belarus to set up their power play. Ugarov, who scored the game-winning goal in their win over Hungary, blew a wrist shot past Andre Lysenstøen to make it 2-2. It was only the second power-play goal so far in the tournament that Belarus has scored. Prior to this game, their power-play efficiency was ranked 13th among the sixteen nations. Norway would be called for two more minors in the period but Belarus could not capitalize on these man-advantage opportunities. Finally in the third, Belarus was able to tie the score on Mikhail Grabovsky's power-play marker. Grabovsky scored as he curled past a sliding Anders Myrvold and wrapped a shot around the net past Lysenstøen. For Grabovsky, it was his third goal of the tournament. "All I wanted to do was move into the middle of the ice and get a shot off because I hadn't had a shot in the game up to that point," Grabovski. The biggest reason Belarus won is because of their rejuvenated power play. Two power-play goals on the day were key to their coming back in the game. "We tried to move the puck more quickly today and we wanted to get the puck to our defensemen to shoot more," said Grabovski. With 1:14 left in overtime, Morten Ask had a great chance in front but Mezin came up with a big stop. Going the other way, a hard shot from the point hit the boards behind the net while Ruslan Salei was streaking towards the net. The puck slid off Lysenstøen's stick side and Salei tapped it off the goaltender and in the net for the win with twenty five seconds remaining in overtime. "Norway is a good team," said Grabovski. "They started the game well but we finished the game well. JOHN SANFUL

HomeWhat We DoMajor CrimeHomicide
During the 1980s and early 1990s, the complexity of investigations into major crimes led to a change in the way these serious crimes were investigated. The murders of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffey clearly showed the need for a more professional approach. As a result, the Major Crime Unit was created in the fall of 1993.
Now known as the Homicide Unit, there are six Detective Sergeants and a Detective Constable. Each officer is highly skilled and has extensive experience in criminal investigations. The unit is headed by a Staff Sergeant who reports to the Inspector of the Investigative Support Services.
The Campbell Report made it mandatory for Police Investigators in Ontario to follow certain guidelines. When investigating Major Cases the Homicide Unit complies with the requirements.
The Homicide Unit is responsible for investigating all homicides within the Region of Niagara. The Detectives assist in the following investigations:
Assaults where death is likely
Sudden deaths of persons in police custody
Missing persons under suspicious circumstances
Police shootings where death or injury has resulted including incidents involving Canada Border Services Agency officers
Incidents involving sworn members of the Niagara Parks Police that meet the criteria for reporting to the S.I.U. under the Police Services Act of Ontario
The Homicide Unit is currently investigating the following unsolved crimes. We are asking for any help the public may be able to offer in solving these crimes.
Frank Perry – Homicide
The deceased, Frank PERRY, was sixty-two years old at the time of his murder and lived with his wife at 5217 Ontario Avenue, Niagara Falls, Ontario. He is survived by his wife and five children, who still reside in Niagara Falls.
On August 27, 1992, at approximately 9:08 a.m., PERRY was visited by a friend and was found dead in his bed. Post-mortem examination found that he had been struck numerous times in the back and side of the head with a blunt object. Mr. PERRY was home alone at the time of his death and it appears that he was in bed asleep when attacked.
Police investigation has revealed that Mr. PERRY was retired, previously employed by the City of Niagara Falls. Mr. PERRY was actively involved in the illegal sale of alcohol and tobacco, and would therefore be well known to many people. A cash box, containing cash and jewellery, was missing from the bedroom and is believed to have been the motive for this murder.

Composite of person seen in the company of Nadine Gurczenski


this is my first instructable!!
to create your own unique version of it.
tank and had a serious amount of power, but was very awkward to use.
included an example of such an upgrade here; my flame gauntlet upgrade.
Quick Ties (Easily and quickly holds components in place, you can also use Pipe Clamps.
COMPONENT #1 A barrel with a nozzle attatched at both ends. One end has a smaller nozzle through which liquid is fired out of, much like a squirtgun. The other nozzle is larger and fits into a tube that connects to another nozzle, linking it to a sprinkler valve.
COMPONENT #2 The sprinkler valve is linked to a tank that can hold liquid and air pressure. The tank is filled with liquid and pressurized, and when the sprinkler valve opens liquid passes through at a high rate due to air pressurization. The liquid moves through the connector tube, into the barrel, and exits at the nozzle.
COMPONENT #3 The above components are linked together, side by side, and must be mounted on the third component, the arm cage. Some sort of unit that can fit snugly over the wearer's forearm and handle the above components being firmly mounted to it.
Two 9 volt batteries and connectors to operate the sprinkler valve.
An electronic switch to initiate the sprinkler valve.
An optional electronic trigger safety toggle switch.
A safety liquid shut off valve that separates the barrel and the sprinkler valve.
A glove to prevent the wearer's hand from becoming wet or scraping against the above components.
Quick ties, steel clamps, glue or duct tape to connect the above components.
A bike pump or air compressor.
Didn't want to build your own?!?!
Okay, I'll give you a hint.
There are 3 components to this device, this is the first one.
I built this part by part, starting from where the liquid comes out, all the way to where it starts.
I took as many pictures as I could to help you out, please go through once first before you do anything.
Just like a story book, get to know the story first before you tell it.
Okay, so you've gotten to the sprinkler valve.
as much as you want.
Especially with component #2, the air/liquid tank.
You can find schedule 40 pvc and fittings in the plumbing aisle at home depot, lowes, osh, or any hardware store really.
I stress that it must be SCHEDULE 40 PVC, because it is pressure rated.
Using other pvc can be very hazardous. Pressurizing normal pvc leads to explosions and serious injury.
All of that being said, you could use a big plastic coke bottle if you wanted to.
Think about it, add an air valve in the side of the coke bottle, pour liquid inside it, screw it into the sprinkler valve, pressurize it, fire.
There's a million ways you can create a liquid tank.
This is how I did mine though, if anyone has an easy way, or oh my God an INSTRUCTABLE, please comment and let us all know.
One piece of advice though, Make sure your tank is positioned so that liquid will readily move through to the barrel.
Use your head, be careful and good luck.
I also refer to this component as the arm cage, as it really is just a cage for your arm.
If you plan to make your own, your OWN way, make sure of two things.
1) The barrel and liquid tank can be secured to it very well.
Okay, now If you want to do it my way, you'll need some strength.
I would suggest asking a friend to help, or possibly the terminator or superman.
I've shown you a pictorial of how I built my VLPD.
Using that concept (pressurized liquid tank --> Sprinkler valve --> exit nozzle ) I hope you will be able to build your own unique version!
As you might of guessed, I am uncomfortable with providing exact instructions/material list. This keeps me safe should anyone try anything silly.
You can't deny that our generation uses squirt guns differently for fun.
To prove that, check out my video.
It's pretty old and LOW quality, but you get the point!!
Thank you for looking at my Instructable! Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.
If you would like me to build something for you, I can do that too.
By the way are you indian?
are denatured alcohol and rubbing alcohol the same?
If you use the liquid pressurized (which is really hard to do in the first place) it would lose pressurazation really quickly because the thing that is pressurizing it is leaving it instead of just expanding. Also the Co2 prevents the tank from exploding when you are running low and just fumes are escaping it. if you were to use regular pressurized air then the fumes would have oxygen which supports combustion and the flame would travel down the tubes into the tank where it would explode. Also Co2 tanks are easily found so they make a really good pre-pressurized source of air. Alchohol wouldnt burn very well and you would have trouble keeping it lit so i would suddgest using a light petrolium distilate such as lighter fluid, gasoline, acetone, etc which burn very fast and have a low combustion tempurature so they stay lit even when being squirted out if a homemade flamethrower.
what part of the hose did you epoxy?
It's a passable example although there are several design flaws preventing anything above mere "Ooo ooo ooo, look what I made" status in regards to this particular project. I assume you have improved upon the idea.
How about sizes for everything you use. Might be useful.
I would love to make this but i dont really have the time. I aslo tried going to your website: WWW.AEGISAVENGER.COM, but it wouldnt take me there and i couldnt find it. Also, how much much did all this cost?? PLease get back as soon as possible nad if you could answer my Questions, please send an email to: cody.doke@gmail.com.
I plan to re-vamp and create new inventory in the near future, but first I have to get settled!!


Micky Dolenz was born on March 8, 1945 in La. He'd a few television characters and played with groups before being cast in The Monkees, a show of a fictitious rock band. Though made for TV, The Monkees had real life hits and fought against their "Pre-Fab Four" picture. The show was canceled in 1968 as well as the group split in 1969.
Vocalist, musician, performer, writer, producer, director. Created George Michael Dolenz on March 8, 1945, in La, California. Dolenz grew up in La as the son of actor George Dolenz, who's famous for playing the Count of Monte Cristo on television.
Mickey Dolenz started his own performing career early on, taking the stage name Micky Braddock. Following the show was canceled, Dolenz got a few guest appearances on such programs as Peyton Place. After high school, he studied architecture at Valley College as well as the Los Angeles Technical Institute.
In 1965, Dolenz reacted to an advertisement seeking young men to get a brand new television show. He auditioned for the show, as well as 430 other hopefuls. Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, Davy Jones and Dolenz were chosen for the newest television series of a rock group called the Monkees. Dolenz' character played the drums, an instrument he was unfamiliar with. I used to be an actor playing a musician," Dolenz afterwards described.
Only days ahead of the advent of the show, the Monkees released their first single, "Last Train to Clarksville," which featured Dolenz on lead vocals. Meant as an anti-war song, it had been written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, songwriters and musicians who worked on the show.
The Monkees premiered on September 12, 1966, also it received a warm reception from television audiences who adored the hilarious antics of the group. Dolenz also got an opportunity to work behind the scenes on the show as the director of a single episode.
The Monkees continued to score hits on the music charts too. Their records sold countless copies.
While their fans adored them, music critics were less than type, criticizing them for being more of a commercial product than an actual rock act. Dolenz as well as the remaining group fought to develop more creative control, taking charge in their Headquarters record. However, their efforts failed to reach exactly the same degree of success as their earlier records.


Look for a Drug Treatment Facility near me in Bossier City, LA.
Drug treatment in Bossier City can help individuals even if help has failed them in the past, and in many cases when they believe that their scenario is a hopeless. It is very easy to feel this way, and family members may also begin to experience these emotions and feelings after past failures at staying abstinent especially when drug and alcohol treatment hasn't worked in the past. What must be understood however is there are always quality alcohol and drug rehabilitation options that can work, but sometimes it's really a challenge choosing the right one in Bossier City, Louisiana for yourself or a loved one. The best and most effective drug and alcohol treatment program won't always be the most convenient drug and alcohol rehabilitation choice in Bossier City, LA. as most would hope, but is incredibly likely the most challenging alcohol and drug treatment center that requires essentially the most dedication.
Outpatient programs in Bossier City, LA. fail clients simply because they continue to be in exactly the same environment which prompts their addiction, so there will in all probability be setbacks. Short-term programs in Bossier City, Louisiana fall short for clients because these facilities only provide treatment for four weeks, which leaves a short amount of time to deal with anything other than superficial physical signs of addiction and other surface issues, instead of the true root causes of the individual's drug abuse. So prior to essentially the most seemingly convenient option, choose a drug treatment center in Bossier City which provides not simply the proper treatment setting but is also a center which allows for a substantial period of stay so the individual can have the very best opportunity to realize a complete recovery. With regards to what to look for, inpatient and residential drug rehabilitation programs in Bossier City that are called long-term facilities offer rehab for anywhere from 4 to 6 months. These programs are covered by private medical insurance in many instances and financial aid can be a possibility.

Q: Is there a better way to WaitForSeconds? I'm new to c# programming, but I followed the documentation to insert a wait in my code. The problem is, it doesn't seem to work. Here's the code:
void Start()
{
    StartCoroutine(Fixed());
}

IEnumerator Fixed()
{
    print("fixed clone");
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);

    Vector3 originalPosition = new Vector3(Random.Range(-5f, 5f), Random.Range(-2, 2), 100);
    Rigidbody clone = Instantiate(original, originalPosition, transform.rotation);
    clone.velocity = rb.velocity * speed;
}

(This is just a snippet of the code.) In Unity, when I play the clones come rocketing out, and with each clone comes the "fixed clone" message in my console, so I know it's coming from here.
If you need the whole code to figure the problem, I can insert that as well.

A: Looking at your code you simply want to spawn an object after a delay. You don't really need a Coroutine to do this. Coroutines are good for manipulating objects over a number of frames, or frame by frame.
To simply run a function after a delay try the Invoke method:
void Start()
{
    Invoke("SpawnClone", 5.0f); //Call SpawnClone 5 seconds after start
}

void SpawnClone()
{
    print("fixed clone");

    Vector3 originalPosition = new Vector3(Random.Range(-5f, 5f), Random.Range(-2, 2), 100);

    Rigidbody clone;
    clone = Instantiate(original, originalPosition, transform.rotation);
    clone.velocity = rb.velocity * speed;
}

OR Try this to trigger as Coroutine
private IEnumerator coroutine;
void Start()
{
    coroutine = SpawnClone(5.0f);
    StartCoroutine(coroutine); //Trigger SpawnClone coroutine and pass in the delay of 5 seconds
    print("Triggered Coroutine SpawnClone");
}

private IEnumerator SpawnClone(float delay)
{
    print("Coroutine tick");
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(delay);

    print("Coroutine logic stared: " + Time.time + " seconds");

    Vector3 originalPosition = new Vector3(Random.Range(-5f, 5f), Random.Range(-2, 2), 100);
    Rigidbody clone;
    clone = Instantiate(original, originalPosition, transform.rotation);
    clone.velocity = rb.velocity * speed;

    print("Coroutine ended: " + Time.time + " seconds");
}

If you have a wooden deck that needs to be stained regularly, you might consider a semi-transparent deck stain, which provides the best protection without blocking the natural look of the wood. Many pros recommend choosing a semi transparent deck stain rather than a transparent deck stain or an opaque choice.
Why Use Semi-Transparent Deck Stain?
The idea of using a semi-transparent deck stain relates to how UV rays in natural sunlight wear on a deck space.
A transparent deck stain may look good when it is applied. It allows the look of the natural wood to shine through. The problem is that transparent deck stains wear off quicker under the light of the sun. Higher traffic spaces are even less protected. Over a period of weeks or months, a deck with transparent stain will often show premature signs of aging, and frequent applications may get to be too much time and trouble for the average homeowner.
Semi-transparent deck stains alleviate this problem by giving the wood more of a tint that shores up the deck against the effects of sunlight. Lots of deck maintenance pros see semi-transparent deck stain as "the best of both worlds" for a deck space. Some experts also recommend using deck stains with synthetic resins, rather than natural resins. Synthetic resins are known for being resistance to molding, a problem with many deck spaces subjected to a lot of humidity or moisture.
Opaque deck stains are another option, but these types of stain tend to cover up the natural visual appeal of the wood. Many of these darker stains are also oil-based. Oil-based stains have been decreasing in desirability, partly because state governments are banning them based on the harsh by-products they leave in the surrounding ground. Water-based stains are becoming the norm for the average deck, and many of these are semi transparent deck stains made specifically to protect a deck with the lightest tinting possible, or in various shades that complement a natural look.
For the best results with these kinds of products, it's best to be sure the deck area is completely clean prior to application. Pros also know that any kind of stain should be applied as evenly as possible to avoid blemishes or uneven marks on the deck space, where attention to blending in corners and other areas will make a stained deck look a lot better.
Choosing deck stains low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds) or harsh or toxic chemicals is a good way to protect your deck space without negatively impacting your lawn space. Take a look at new water-based semi-transparent deck stains formulated for effectiveness and safety. Homeowners can also consider the most popular deck stains in their region to figure out how local climates determine the needs of a wooden deck space.

Some Religious-Right Figures See Apocalyptic Dreams of Violence and Civil War As Warning About 2020 Election
By Peter Montgomery | July 24, 2020 12:03 pm
Dana Coverstone, pastor of an Assemblies of God church in Burkesville, KY, has made a splash with his apocalyptic dreams about 2020 (Photo from Living Word Ministries website)
Kentucky pastor Dana Coverstone became a religious-right mini-celebrity when an online video he posted on June 25 describing a series of violent apocalyptic dreams he has had about 2020 went viral, racking up more than 1.5 million views online. While some "prophetic" figures have challenged Coverstone's message and his call for people to stock up on guns, ammunition, food, and gold, some promoters of a pro-Trump prayer rally on the National Mall in September have suggested that Coverstone's most recent dream provides a divine endorsement of their efforts.
Coverstone says he experienced a series of dreams beginning in December that prophesied the COVID-19 pandemic and domestic unrest that unfolded in response to George Floyd's killing by a Minneapolis police officer. More recent dreams, he says, have predicted greater violence this fall, foretold economic hyperinflation and a move to a cashless society, and featured the appearance of Russian and Chinese soldiers. Coverstone says he believes his dreams were sent to him by God to "wake the church up."
In recent weeks, Coverstone has repeatedly told his story on religious-right shows and podcasts, including Jim Bakker's—where host Mondo de la Vega used it to promote the show's prepper food buckets—and Cindy Jacobs' Prophetic Dateline, where Jacobs connected Coverstone's call for prayer in September to "The Return" rally being put together by End Times author Jonathan Cahn, QAnon-promoting activist Kevin Jessip, and other prominent religious-right leaders who see spiritual warfare as necessary to getting President Donald Trump reelected, and therefore set the stage for spiritual revival in the U.S.
Among those who have covered Coverstone's dreams—and the debate and criticism they have generated among some competing apostles and prophets for leaving Christians fearful and hopeless—is Charisma, the stridently Trump-supporting media outlet with a largely Pentecostal and Charismatic audience. CEO Steven Strang, author of several books about God, Trump and evangelicals, believes that God intends for Trump to be reelected. In early July, Strang devoted a couple episodes of his podcast to discussing Coverstone's dreams and the reactions they generated among other religious-right figures. Strang mentioned former Trump campaign adviser Frank Amedia's recent prophesy that God will pluck a sinking Trump out of the swamp in September and rescue his presidency.
Last weekend, Charisma promoted a "prophetic vision" of author and film maker Derrick Gates and linked to a podcast in which Gates described an "encounter" he had with God on June 24—the day before Coverstone's video went online–about a coming civil war in the U.S. In Gates' "encounter," he said God showed him what could happen "if godly men and women do not make a change right now."
'Violence breeds violence. Blood is coming,' says the Lord. 'Civil war is at the doorstep. The spread of socialism will cause right-wing extremists to fire back against the likes of antifa and the Muslim Brotherhood. More moderate conservatives will be caught in the middle of the bloodbath and will be forced to take sides in order to survive. A mass exodus will happen in the western states, as moderate Christians will be thought of as terrorists by the left-wing radicals. For their own safety, conservatives will flee inward to the Midwest. New York will completely fall into anarchy. Behind closed doors, dark deals are being made. The hand of Satan himself is guiding the hand of the left … Antifa and socialism will continue to cause chaos in liberal cities. That will pave the way for the Muslim Brotherhood to step in and police the cities with Sharia law. Christians have never experienced the kind of persecution in the United States as what could come to our doorsteps. … The blood will run through the streets in a way we have never seen it.
Gates said the vision was a warning of what could happen in America and a call for Christians to come together in prayer. He also asked for donations to support his efforts to take back "the media and entertainment mountain." Gates's podcast "Unleashed" is part of the Charisma Podcast Network and he claimed on Saturday's podcast that the video version of the podcast that he shares on YouTube is "actually going to be starting to go onto several TV networks across the world." On his podcast, Gates describes himself as "a former drug boss that died and was brought back by Jesus Himself." On Charisma, his bio says that he is "submitted to apostle/prophet Jennifer LeClaire," a former Charisma senior editor.
Lance Wallnau, who teaches that Trump was anointed by God, told his listeners in a rambling monologue about Coverstone that he wasn't "buying it" and suggested that Coverstone is reading too many newspapers and that they are putting ideas into his head. He cited biblical precedent to suggest that Coverstone's dreams are not prophesying events that are predestined to happen, but a warning about what could happen if the church supports the wrong choice on Election Day.
On the same video, Wallnau declared himself "stunned" by the "weakness" of some Republicans' support for Trump. "We got to drag their sorry carcasses over the finish line in November, but this is the last time," Wallnau said. Quoting 16th Century Protestant reformer John Knox saying, "Give me Scotland or I die," Wallnau added:
We got to get some Christians to say, 'Gimme America or I die. Give me this country.' You know why? Because the nations belong to Jesus. They don't belong to the devil. They don't belong to the Antichrist and we're not getting out of here—that's not our strategy. They belong to Jesus. We'll talk about the Rapture and everything else later. I totally believe in it. I believe in overcomers' Rapture, not a wimpy wiped out Rapture. I think he's looking for a radiant bride, not some sloppy chick that's dressing for other guys.
Wallnau's reference to the Rapture reflected a complicated tangle of beliefs among evangelicals about the unfolding of the End Times. Wallnau and dominionists associated with the New Apostolic Reformation tend to dismiss the belief that God will "rapture"—take into heaven—Christians before a prophesied great tribulation, arguing that it makes Christians passive and unmotivated to engage in politics and spiritual warfare. As Wallnau's comments suggest, some dominionist leaders believe that Jesus will not return to a defeated church but a triumphant, dominion-taking one.

This documentary film is a personal story. In 2005, we adopted a daughter from China. As our daughter was just a 1,5 years old toddler and our parenthood had just started, we looked at the experiences of other adopted children and their parents. Finally, we decided to film a family with a couple of years older daughter from our daughter's orphanage, and our own family. It took us five years to make the film.
With this film, we hope to give insight in what it means to grow up with a background that is different from the rest of the family – and to be proud of that background. Their special bound as children from the same country and the same place gives an extra dimension to the girls' lives. Being adopted is not only a wound, it can also be quite interesting, at least if you are five years old and fond of all things Chinese.
If you are interested in this film, please contact us.

Carbon tax ruling is a modest win for Trudeau—but after a string of losses, whatever works - Macleans.ca
Carbon tax ruling is a modest win for Trudeau—but after a string of losses, whatever works
The Saskatchewan court decision puts the Liberals on better campaign footing at a time when they're visibly wobbling
by Jason Markusoff
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau meets with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe in September 2018. (Matt Smith/CP)
Let's recap the last six months for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He became landed in the middle of a tug-of-war between China and United States over Huawei, prompting the vise of Chinese pressure upon imprisoned Canadian citizens and restrictions on agricultural products. He lost two top cabinet ministers and his principal secretary in a cascading scandal that revealed his utterly shaky crisis-management skills, and weakened his status as a feminist and partner in Indigenous reconciliation. And a few weeks ago Alberta, a populace he's often strived to court, chose a new premier whose campaign relied on heavily disparaging his opponent's closeness to Trudeau.
But finally, on Friday, PMO aides could pop wine corks at the office—and not to drown their sorrows.
The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal's decision to uphold of the federal carbon tax was a win for them to savour, if only because they've had so few in the last while. Yes, it was a narrow 3-2 verdict. Yes, Premier Scott Moe pledged immediately to take the case to the Supreme Court of Canada, which would probably keep the law's status in limbo in 2020. And yes, another decision looms with Ontario's constitutional challenge of the federal pricing plan, with both Manitoba and Alberta planning their own court fights.
But Trudeau and his team will gladly take this ruling, and shout about it from the rooftops. With the federal carbon levy backstop in place, they can now make the election a contest between their greenhouse gas strategy and whatever Andrew Scheer's Conservatives put forward this summer.
And consider the alternative: The Grits are already lagging in the polls ahead of the Oct. 21 vote. If Saskatchewan's high court struck the tax down, voters would be deciding between a probably weaker Conservative plan and a constitutionally fragile Liberal one. "Vote for us, and we'll fight to save the planet assuming that we can persuade a panel of judges to find that other judges engaged in flawed reasoning!" would not be the best sales pitch at doorsteps in Oakville.
RELATED: Tiptoeing back to Trans Mountain
Jason Kenney, the newest provincial Blue Knight of the Resistance, found out Friday that the way he bashes carbon tax isn't the easiest sell in some quarters (at least those outside Alberta's borders). After he backslapped at Queen's Park with fellow BKOTR Doug Ford, he delivered a speech to the Canadian Club of Toronto. As he trotted out his line about his province's forthcoming Bill 1 to erase the NDP's carbon tax—an easy applause line at all his Alberta campaign rallies. But from this business crowd, Kenney drew a hush by raising both arms above his shoulders in a defensive posture. "Now, I know not everybody agrees with this, although I think almost three-quarters of Albertans certainly do," the new premier said.
The mood is different in Toronto, where Kenney came to drum up investment and wave his province's own "open for business" placard. The major banks and many blue-chip companies support carbon pricing; they don't see it as "punishing ordinary people for living ordinary lives."
While the Alberta premier, like Ford and Moe, deems the carbon tax a measure that's all economic pain with no environmental gain, the body of evidence suggests otherwise, Saskatchewan Court of Appeal Chief Justice Robert Richards wrote in his majority decision.
"Significantly, the factual record before the Court indicates that GHG pricing is not just part and parcel of an effective response to climate change. It indicates that GHG pricing is regarded as an essential aspect or element of the global effort to limit GHG emissions." The judges used this as basis for their conclusion that setting minimum standards for carbon pricing ought to qualify as a national concern under the constitution's peace, order and good government powers—the part of the ruling that might generate the most scrutiny ahead of a Supreme Court appeal. The Saskatchewan majority also dispensed with the Blue Knights' claim the carbon tax is a cash grab, or even that it is a tax in the conventional sense, since by design the money generated does not go into federal coffers. In fact, it need not be generated federally at all, if it is a provincial tax as stringent or tougher than the federal minimum plan.
RELATED: Is Bill C-69 an oil sands killer?
In responding to the defeat, Moe said Saskatchewan will continue to fight the carbon tax "with every tool in the toolbox"—language that echoes what B.C. Premier John Horgan said about the Trans Mountain pipeline. On both scores, the premiers may wind up being unable to find the right wrench to throw into the federal gears. Meanwhile, an interesting parallel is emerging between how conservatives fight the carbon tax and how environmentalists, Indigenous leaders and progressive politicians try to thwart pipelines: lob every jurisdictional argument and legal obstruction you can; if that fails, file a different court challenge by a different party; if that too fails, try bringing change through the ballot box if that fails; or try bringing change through the ballot box. It's a safe bet—we think—to assume Moe and Ford won't hold sit-ins in the federal finance minister's office.
In any case, the Liberal must enjoy the glow of victory while they can. This legal win landed the same day that CTV reported that Liberal MP Andrew Leslie is willing to testify against the government on behalf of Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, suspended in a case over alleged cabinet leaks. It's been that kind of 2019 for them. Perhaps that bubbly on ice can serve dual purposes.

There's always time for an adventure!
Last night's cabin night was amazing!
New talents were discovered, new adventure's were taken, and new friends were made. It was hard to pry the cabins apart for the next day's activities but, all good things must come to a close. It's time for cabins to head to the second day in their Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday classes.
In activities Climbing learned how to tie a figure eight follow through knot and how to belay. Ben C. and Liam P. can perfectly knot a figure eight follow through knot. The basketball instructor praised today's classes saying, "everyone had good effort and a great attitude"! Also, there are reports of a "CRAZYYY" game of Ultimate Frisbee in 4th period Team Sports. Lastly, the mountain biking instructor has to say that Charles T. killed it at the pump track this afternoon!
A water skiing trip that consisted of Harrison D., Wes D., Jackson D., Robert D., Juan T., and Diego T. went great! Message from the trip leader, "Juan y Diego hicieron excelente"! Another trip that went out today, Climbing! That trip consisted of Dash V., Jack K. Christian S, Lance K., Alex W., Cole S., Freddy V, and Grant S! Those guys went to a killer climbing location called "Snake Den"! The final trip to go out was a fly fishing trip. Campers Scott B., Charlie O., Max S., and Jonathan H. Spencer V. G., and Dash V. all fly fished this afternoon. No report on what was caught. I'd say ask, but keep in mind the fish is always bigger in hindsight.

More of Old Golden Throat is a compilation album and 32nd overall album released by American country musician Johnny Cash exclusively in the UK on CBS Records in 1969 (see 1969 in music). Culled from single sides that had not previously appeared on albums (with the exceptions of "Honky-Tonk Girl" and "Lorena"), it is primarily made up of lesser-known songs, although "You Beat All I Ever Saw" and "Second Honeymoon" reached No. 20 and No. 15 respectively on the Country charts.  Tracks 4, 7, 10 and 13 are instrumentals originally credited to "The Tennessee Two and Friend."

As with its predecessor, Old Golden Throat, this album was only available in monaural since its source material was originally mixed for single release.

This album has not been released on CD. Although the Cash solo recordings featured here were later included in the 63-disc 2012 release Johnny Cash: The Complete Columbia Album Collection on the bonus disc titled "The Singles, Plus", the four tracks credited to The Tennessee Two and Friend are omitted and have yet to be officially released on CD.

The Coleumn: The 2022 season and the future of the UConn football program
Cole Stefan
UConn Football clinches a 36-33 win against Liberty University in their last home game of the season on Nov. 12, 2022, at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford. This win gives the Huskies a 6-5 record and makes them bowl-eligible for the first time since 2015. Photo by Izzi Barton/The Daily Campus
Back in August, I told people to believe in the Husky Revolution. Especially after a 1-11 campaign in 2021, I had a feeling that the 2022 season would be much different than years past for the UConn football team. With a new head coach in Jim Mora and a social media team promoting a revolution within the program, change was bound to happen.
I am glad that that specific Coleumn aged well.
In 2022, the Huskies had their best season since 2015, becoming bowl eligible for the first time in seven years while notably upsetting the No. 19 ranked Liberty Flames at home. UConn went 5-1 at Rentschler Field, their best record there since going undefeated in 2010, while seeing a 50.4% increase in overall attendance. In addition to national recognition on the field, Mora's haunted house got featured on ESPN College Gameday and the entire team appeared on an episode of First Take. It was a season that fans will remember for years to come.
With the season ending after the Myrtle Beach Bowl last month, it is time to look ahead to the future of the football program. The best place to start is by looking at some of the new talent coming soon to Storrs.
In this day and age, the transfer portal is more important than anything in picking up talent in college sports. Over the last month, the Huskies picked up transfers who I think will compete for starting spots right from the start. They come from diverse backgrounds, whether it is a Power Five program like the Kansas Jayhawks (Eriq Gilyard) and the Michigan Wolverines (Louis Hansen) or an FCS team like the Richmond Spiders (Ray Eldridge) and the Maine Black Bears (Joe Fagnano).
The transfer portal is not the only place where UConn reloaded, however. Although there were no four or five-star prospects among the 2023 recruiting class, there are three people whom I think will have the same impact in their first year that Zion Turner and Victor Rosa had last season.
The first one is wide receiver Jarvis "Jett" Jones, a New Jersey native whose best offer outside of Storrs came from the Marshall Thundering Herd. Beyond his cool and airplane-themed nickname, this is someone who can come off the bench as a slot receiver next to Keelan Marion and Cam Ross and use his speed to pick up a lot of yardage after the catch.
Second is defensive end Cleto Chol from Andover, New Hampshire. One of the main priorities that the Huskies focused on was to bolster a defense that allowed over 26 points a game. Chol can stuff the run game in its tracks, and being able to learn from the people on the defensive line such as Pryce Yates and Eric Watts is going to help with his long-term development.
Finally, there is Cameron Chadwick, a three-star cornerback from New Jersey. Chadwick uses both his quickness and his agility to return the football to the house. Whether it is with the special teams unit on a kick return or with the star-studded secondary on an interception, he can get the crowd on their feet while scoring some big points.
But who will help the recruits transition into the college game and the program's culture? Ian Swenson, Tre Wortham, Marquez Bembry and Jake Guidone among others may be gone, but Jackson Mitchell and Christian Haynes will continue to lead like they did last season.
Haynes, an AP Third Team All-American, anchored an offensive line that helped the run game dash for over 200 yards on the ground six times while protecting Turner by surrendering 17 sacks heading into the bowl game. Getting Haynes back for one more year is massive and will help some of the younger linemen, such as Brady Wayburn, learn how to block the defense from stopping plays early.
Mitchell meanwhile finished fourth in the nation in total tackles with 140 and seventh in tackles per game at 10.8. Mitchell would have been a second-day draft selection had he declared for the National Football League, but his return will boost his draft stock for 2024 while giving the linebacker department a much-needed voice in the locker room. Although the university has homegrown athletes such as Donovan Clingan and Scott Testori, Mitchell is the quintessential "Mr. Connecticut" of UConn Athletics.
With the right talent and a determined work ethic, the Huskies have a legitimate chance to go bowling once again. Opponents like Tennessee at Neyland Stadium are going to be hard to conquer, but there are at least seven to eight teams on next season's schedule that UConn has a chance of winning against. If they can beat teams like the North Carolina State Wolfpack and the James Madison Dukes, then their chances of getting invited to a bowl game after becoming bowl eligible are going to increase due to their strong regular season resume.
I also want to highlight the impact the social media team has produced. According to information gathered from SkullSparks, the Huskies had the largest percent increase in social interactions between Instagram, Twitter and Facebook out of any FBS program in the country at 305%, 13% ahead of the second place Jayhawks. I do not expect the increase in social interactions to be this high next season, but the social media team has regenerated interest in the fans that will carry over into the next generation.
Beating a ranked opponent at home, becoming bowl eligible and going to the Myrtle Beach Bowl was just the beginning. Even though the Huskies were nationally recognized for their incredible one-year turnaround, this upcoming season is critical to the team's long-term future.
Given the culture that Mora has instilled in the program and the six-second mentality of the players, I expect the Husky Revolution to continue to be televised. Until then, it is time to reload.

David Eccles was born into an impoverished Scottish family and rose to become one of America's leading industrialists.
In his 63 years, he founded 54 businesses throughout Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Oregon, traveling more than an estimated 44,000 miles to do so.
At the time of his death, he was president of 17 corporations and seven banks and served as acting director of 24 businesses in various industries. On Dec. 5, 1912, the day David Eccles passed away, flags across five Western states flew at half-staff. On the day of his funeral, factories, railroads and coal mines halted operations to pay respect to the man who had created thousands of jobs in virtually every sector of the economy.
That was the far-reaching effect that this pioneering entrepreneur had on what was at the time the Wild, Wild West.
The same year that Utah was admitted as the 45th U.S. state (1896), the University of Utah began formally educating students in the ways of business. Utah is the Beehive State after all, and Utahns are known being industrious and self-reliant.
Originally, business students took classes through the University of Utah's Economics & Sociology Department. But it soon became clear that the study of business deserved a school all its own. The School of Commerce & Finance was founded in 1917, and in that first year, 126 students enrolled.
It's no surprise that 100 years later, the number of enrolled students has increased more than 25-fold. Today, the David Eccles School of Business has risen to the forefront of business excellence and each year educates nearly 4,500 graduate and undergraduate students in six departments.
On April 8, 1991, the last surviving child of David Eccles, Emma Eccles Jones, made a spectacular gift to the University of Utah's College of Business in her father's memory.
In recognition of her father's monumental achievements in pioneering economic development of the Intermountain West, the school was proudly renamed the David Eccles School of Business.
Today, his entrepreneurial spirit, ambition, business acumen and incredible work ethic are embodied in the school's mission and values.
The David Eccles School of Business presents each student with a coin commemorating the school's namesake, David Eccles, and the values he espoused.
The school's nine values are imprinted on the coin as a reminder to students that no matter where they come from, these values will help them with where they're going.


After working at Optimax for several years, Amanda found that she really enjoyed the field of optical manufacturing. "I'm super interested in it so I wanted to see how far I can take this and make a real career out of it." She accepted a position as a Precision Optics Manufacturing Technician apprentice.
In high school Amanda took drafting classes and woodshop. She learned how to read blue prints and to know safety rules of a shop environment. A significant life experience that prepared her well for her apprenticeship is motherhood. As a mom, "you have to learn how to be patient and learn quick, think quick and also be aware of your surroundings and to seize opportunities as they come," she says.
She advices girls and women: "You should really just try it. If you're second guessing it give it a shot. If you don't like it you don't have to do it. But it's better to try.

Crew Q&A: Stunt Coordinator Gary Connery
BBC America| April 24th, 2019
Editor's Note: We culled your questions from Facebook and Twitter for this week's Q&A with a Killing Eve crew member. This week, it's stunt coordinator, Gary Connery.
1. @Villanelle27 via Twitter: How did you film the part where Villanelle got the needle and stabbed Julian in the neck? It looked really realistic
Gary Connery: We did this scene for real, no one really liked Julian anyway! OK, not really. This is a combination of stunt fighting/choreography and visual and special effects. We had a soft needle that could be used for certain shots, being careful not to show that it was made of rubber and therefore a little bendy. We had a short version with green tape over the end so that Visual Effects could then extend the needle in post-production. Special Effects had a blood rig so that once Julian's hand was over his throat, blood could be pumped out through his fingers. Some blood was also put on in post-production.
2. @sckberry via Twitter: How many takes did it take to get the scene right?
GC: I honestly do not remember the number of takes for this scene; there were many different angles to shoot from to give the editing team the best options to work with. There were also many costume replacements due to the blood covering costumes with each take.
3. @MekareMadness via Twitter: How detailed was the scene in the script and compared to that how much you add with your plans?
GC: Very rarely is a fight described in the script; it more often than not says something along the lines of, "And then they fight," with perhaps some stage direction of how the fight should end — in this instance with the knitting needles. It is then up to the stunt team to choreograph the action and work alongside the director to make sure he is happy with the action. Then, it's about perfecting the action ready to shoot.
4.@nocnapidzama via Twitter: did something unexpected happen during this scene?
GC: The only thing that happened during this scene that I remember was when the stunt doubles were in the hallway fighting, the stuntwoman, Jess, threw herself at the cupboard under the stairs area and shattered the cupboard door. Construction/carpentry had to come in and do a quick but good repair job for us to continue. Everyone was shocked at the force of the hit. Jess was fine, however.
5. @evesnelle via Twitter: how do you manage stunt choices and what fits the scene and its context best? plus how do you give it authenticity?
GC: It is really for the director and producer to decide what best fits the scene and context. I as a stunt coordinator am very much about making something believable and try to bring as much realism into it as possible, trying to guide the director/producer as to what would it really happen in the situations, from a body movement/capability/mechanics perspective.
6. @IamKayleeJ via Twitter: How do you decide what stunts are appropriate for Jodie to do and when to bring in a stunt double?
GC: First and foremost it's about physical capability and comfort levels of the actors as to whether they are involved in performing stunts or to what level they are involved. Rehearsal time is also key to this, and with a show where the actress/actor is constantly busy on set, rehearsal time can be limited. It is always a good idea to have a stunt double on set for key action sequences
7. Phuong C. via Facebook: Do the actors have safe words or some kind of signal if sth goes wrong
GC: We will always have signals where appropriate or to shout the words "Stop stop stop" should someone feel uncomfortable or in trouble. Also, I will always be on set and have a very good idea of what has been choreographed, and if this is not happening, I also can therefore call "Stop stop stop."
8. Jennifer K. via Facebook: First off, amazing episode. Second, there has to be a lot of rehearsal that goes into these fight scenes. We'd love to know a little more about what goes into producing the final product.
GC: This fight scene in particular was rehearsed/choreographed over a period of a day with stunt doubles. It is then for the stunt team to show the actors and determine which elements they can perform. Then, it must be filmed to disguise that it is not always the actors, but that a lot of it is covered by doubles. Camera angles play a big part in something like this.
10. Wendy N. via Facebook: Are stunt scenes counted like choreography? Or some other code? Or is it just called blocking? 😊
GC: Different people call what we do different things. Ultimately we are choreographing action, blocking it through with the actors, and then performing at speed with the stunt team, bringing in the actors as and when safe to do so.
Hope this answers everyone's questions!

How Nigeria can Enjoy an Effective Digitized Electoral System – Jega Lists Factors
Bukola Olanrewaju July 11, 2021	BUSINESS, POLITICS Leave a comment
The former chairman, Independent Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, has said that development in critical sectors such as infrastructure, software and associated support infrastructure are vital Nigeria to enjoy effective digitized electoral system.
Jega maintained that there are innumerable challenges facing the country which need to be solved tackled
He said, "There are so many challenges in our country. For one to be able to do effective, thorough electronic voting, you need the infrastructure, software and associated support infrastructure. For example, stability of electricity, extensive network coverage and robust internet facilities."
Jega who was on channels Television programme, Politics Today, commended the National Assembly for taking steps to review the Electoral Amendment Act (2010) as amended.
Infrastructural Development, Advanced Software…
Election Results: Atiku to call Microsofts, Oracle,…

He, however, faulted the exclusion of electronic transfer of results, saying that the that the decision of the current National Assembly to allow INEC use electronic voting, but not the electronic transmission of results is rather counterproductive.
In his words, "You can't permit INEC on one hand to use electronic voting and not use electronic transmission of results because usually, they go as a package."
He emphasised that "Once there is a robust software and hardware for doing so, it now brings efficiency, transparency and real time ability to see the result as they are transmitted from the polling unit to a National Collation Centre."
Commenting on the controversies trailing the appointment and subsequent screening of former Aide to the President, Lauretta Onochie, as INEC National Commissioner, the former INEC boss said the situation should have been avoided.
He charged the National Assembly to use all legal means regarding the issue to avoid a situation whereby elections the nominee conduct being viewed as being biased.

"Welcome to the real world, Dawson, where the first person to stab you in the back is your best friend"
None of the Above is the 3rd episode of Season 3 of Dawson's Creek.
CHEATERS NEVER PROSPER – Dawson (James Van Der Beek) is stunned when Eve (guest star Brittany Daniel) presents him with a sneak peak at the PSAT test and everyone is tempted to cheat including Joey (Katie Holmes), whose scholarship is dependent on her SAT scores, and Andie (Meredith Monroe), who is desperately fighting for acceptance to Harvard. But when the test is stolen, it's Pacey (Joshua Jackson) that Dawson accuses since he sees Pacey slipping back to his old ways. Meanwhile, Jack (Kerr Smith) is insistent that the football team is purposely beating him down because he is gay.
Michael Pitt as Henry Parker
Brittany Daniel as Eve Whitman
Niklaus Lange as Rob Logan
"Well, if it isn't Inspector Get-A-Clueseau"
—Drunk Pacey to Dawson
It is centered around the PSATs.
Another example of Dawson, when he is in a pressured emotional state, lashing out at and demeaning Pacey, another example being at Dawson's 16th birthday party.
This is the only time on the series Pacey and Dawson are seen physically fighting.

How long before you got a positive test??
I should be about 6wk+2d and I have had all the symptoms. I'm about three weeks late for my period and I've been exhausted. This week I have been feeling nauseous at random points throughout the day and I've been peeing like crazy. I've taken four tests and they have all been negative.
How late was your period when you got a positive test?
I got a faint positive on CD26 (not sure how many DPO, I wasn't tracking) and my period normally comes CD26-28. Good luck, I hope you get your positive!
I had a positive 3 days after missed period.
I tested positive the day after my missed period. I am 4W 6D. Maybe you should see a doctor and get a blood test. Good luck!
I took tests on day 31 and 34 and both negative and finally got the bfp day 45. I had brown spotting days 35-39 and thought it was my period.
I conceived on June 2nd- CD19 (Only time we BD'd within window) and had a positive June 10th-CD27. I normally have a 29-30 day cycle and tend to ovulate later due to breast feeding.
I would be 4 weeks 4 days and mine is still suuuuuuuuuper light on a First Response (this one isn't an early response, I had one of those "quick response" ones that show in 1 minute) to the point where I don't even know if it's positive 😪 I just wanna know either way you know!!?
did you take the picture soon after taking the test? (I think you're supposed to read it within 10 min or something) because I see a line!
Just got a positive test this morning. 3 days before missed period.
yes, I do! Maybe test again in a few days? I was trying to google the sensitivity of the FRRR vs FRER and I *think* you need double the mlU/hCG to get a positive. It's like 50 mlU vs 25 mlU.
I can definitely see a faint line as well. Good luck!
How long before + digital?
How long till you get a negative test?


Decomposition involves two processes: autolysis and putrefaction. Autolysis is the breakdown of cells and organs through an aseptic chemical process caused by intracellular enzymes. Since it is a chemical process, it is accelerated by heat, slowed by cold, and stopped by freezing or the inactivation of enzymes by heat. Organs rich in enzymes will undergo autolysis faster than organs with lesser amounts of enzyme. Thus, the pancreas autolyzes before the heart.
The second form of decomposition, which to most individuals is synonymous with decomposition, is putrefaction. This is due to bacteria and fermentation. After death, the bacterial flora of the gastrointestinal tract spread throughout the body, producing putrefaction. This is accelerated in septic individuals because bacteria have already spread throughout the body prior to death.
When we talk about decomposition, we usually mean putrefaction. The onset of putrefaction depends on two main factors: the environment and the body. In hot climates, the more important of these two factors is environment.
Most authorities would give the following sequence of events in decomposition of bodies. First there is greenish discoloration of the lower quadrants of the abdomen, the right more than the left, usually in the first 24-36 h. This is followed by greenish discoloration of the head, neck, and shoulders; swelling of the face due to bacterial gas formation; and "marbling." Marbling is produced by hemolysis of blood in vessels with reaction of hemoglobin and hydrogen sulfide and development of greenish black coloration along the vessels (Figure 2.6). The body soon undergoes generalized bloating (60-72 h) followed by vesicle formation, skin slippage, and hair slippage. By this time, the body is a pale green to green-black color.
Figure 2.7 (A) Decomposition with discoloration and early marbling. (B) Same individual 12 hours prior. Body was immediately refrigerated after discovery, yet decomposition continued.
Figure 2.8 Early decomposition with bloody purge fluid flowing from nostrils.
in the case of the pleural cavities. Usually, the fluid accumulating in each pleural cavity is less than 200 mL.
As decomposition continues, hemolyzed blood leaks out into the tissue. Especially in the scalp, this cannot readily be differentiated from antemortem bruising. Thus, in the dependent areas of the head in decomposed bodies, one must be very cautious in interpreting blood in the tissue as a contusion.
This description of the gradual decomposition of a body assumes a temperate environmental climate. With high temperature, this process can be accelerated. Thus, in Texas, a body left in a car during the summer will take less than 24 h to go from a fresh state to a swollen, greenish-black body with marbling, vesicle formation, skin slippage, and purge fluid.
Cold weather slows down and may even stop decomposition. A frozen body will not undergo decomposition until it defrosts. Extreme examples of this are mammoths frozen in Siberia for thousands of years.
Decomposition is hastened by obesity, heavy clothing, and sepsis, all of which keep the body warm. Decomposition is delayed by tight clothing or by the body's lying on a metallic or stone surface that will rapidly cool it by conduction. In the case of generalized sepsis, the authors have seen bodies undergo accelerated decomposition in spite of the fact that they were immediately refrigerated. A septic body dead 6-12 h may have the appearance of one dead 5-6 days even if refrigerated.
Even in the non-septic body, if decomposition has set in, immediate refrigeration of the body may not necessarily stop decomposition completely (Figure 2.7A, B). Thus, the authors have seen a number of bodies in which there was early decomposition with opaque eyes, a reddish tinge to the skin of the face, and bloody purge fluid in the mouth and nostrils when the body was initially viewed at the scene. When the body came to autopsy 6-12 h later, after having been refrigerated the whole time, the face was bloated and greenish black.
As decomposition progresses, hair slips off the head and skin from the hands. Thus, one finds "gloves" of skin. Hair may be taken by birds in the area and used to build nests. As the body decomposes and swells, one often gets the impression of a very heavy individual. When the body is actually weighed, however, the weight will be found to be significantly less than estimated on gross examination of the body. As decomposition proceeds, the weight of the organs decreases.
In hot, dry climates, the body can dehydrate rapidly and may go into mummification rather than decomposition. While the skin will have a brown to black leathery appearance, the internal organs will continue to deteriorate, often reduced to a blackish-brown putty-like consistency.
Bodies are embalmed to delay decomposition. The success of embalming is variable and depends on the quality of the embalming, the climate, and the nature of the ground where the body is buried. Rarely will a body be perfectly preserved for years. One of the authors disinterred the body of an elderly white female buried for 6 years that was in perfect condition and could have been "viewed" at a funeral. There was no odor, no observable changes to the outside of the body, and no fungus present. Microscopic sections from the embalmed organs were perfectly preserved. The body of another female buried the same length of time, but in ground where water leaked into the coffin, was completely skeletonized. The authors have seen bodies buried for a year perfectly preserved, except for some drying of the fingertips and patches of fungus, while other bodies buried 2-3 weeks are in an advanced state of decomposition.
commonly in bodies immersed in water or in damp, warm environments. In adipocere, fat undergoes hydrolysis to free fatty acids by virtue of endogenous lipases and bacterial enzymes. Bacterial enzymes, principally from Clostridium perfringens, convert these free fatty acids to hydroxy fatty acids.4 Adipocere is said to take several months to develop, though development can be as short as several weeks. It is relatively resistant to both bacteriologic and chemical degradation.
A brief mention should be made of maceration of infants in intrauterine deaths. This is not truly putrefaction, but rather an aseptic autolytic process. It is described in a separate section.
Eye changes postmortem are difficult to interpret. Changes depends on whether the eyes are open or closed and on the environment. Tache noire is seen, but often not observed. It is an artifact of drying consisting of a brown to black band of discolored sclera where the eyes are partly open and exposed to the air (Figure 2.10). In closed eyes, by 24 h, there is usually a white scummy deposit on the cornea, which, in turn, is cloudy.
