to: "X is incapable of believing in Christ"
B. "X is sinful" , "no one with sin can accept Christ" -> "X is incapable of believing in Christ"
What is the intermediate step?
"X is incapable of believing in Christ"
Neither (A) nor (B) are acceptable terminal points in Calvinistic theology. These are not doctrines that are taught, but rather ones that you have probably either misunderstood or else that someone else has misunderstood and passed on to you.
The distinction between Reformed belief and what you mention is the difference between what R.C. Sproul calls Utter Depravity vs. Radical Corruption. It's not just that we're sinners and so therefore we cannot receive Christ (although the Holiness of God does make this true), it's that our wills are bound by sin so that we have no desire whatsoever to focus on the things of God and to be saved.
We see that the mind set not on things of the spirit is not capable of being subject to the Law of God.
Romans 8:5-9 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
Ephesians 2:1-5 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
You asked what the "middle point" was so that we come to receive Christ, even though we are incapable. The answer lies in the end of the Ephesians passage cited. God made us alive.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).
The other verses he lists summarize it quite well and offer more support, but these two are probably the crux of the matter.
You have it right: "X is sinful" -> "everything X does is sin" -> "X is incapable of believing in Christ without the additional work of the Holy Spirit" --> is the basic belief held by Calvinism. One of the best explanations of the doctrine of original sin is by Jonathan Edwards, entitled 'without surprise', 'The Great Christian Doctrine of Original Sin Defended; Evidences of its Truth Produced.' Here he argues, among other things, the imputation of guilt on infants as displayed in the flood and in Sodom and Gomorrah.
In a nutshell I have found many classic authors, including Luther, Owen and Edwards, often start by using this verse to say that anybody born of 'flesh' is only 'flesh'.
In other words anyone born in the sinful nature is in 'entirely sinful.' This means they can't do anything good but are totally depraved.
The idea of 'flesh' is derogatory as 'human nature separated from God'. Even as a believer who has 'both' good and evil natures, as a result of the new birth, only a sinful disposition remains in that nature they first obtained through Adam.
This is understood by all classical Calvinists (as far as I know) as a description of Paul 'as a Christian'.
Edwards' book which I referenced argues the case so very well. Unlike Owen who is difficult to read, I challenge anyone to read 'even just a dozen pages' of Edwards and they will quickly understand the concepts of original sin as 'originally taught' by the reformers.
I think your problem comes in your understanding of the statement, "X is sinful". In context, when a Calvinist says "Fred Jones is sinful", he does not simply mean, "Fred Jones has committed many sins". What he means is more like, "Fred Jones mind is totally controlled by sin."
It's like if I said, "X is wet -> X will never be dry without radical intervention". If when you read "X is wet" you think of something that has been left out in the rain, the logic doesn't follow. Why can't I bring it inside and dry it out? Won't it dry out when the sun comes out? Etc. But if the person who said "X is wet" was thinking of a fish that lives at the bottom of the ocean, then the logic makes perfect sense.
When the Calvinist says that people are sinners, he is thinking of the relationship of a human to sin as like a fish to the ocean, not a rag to the rain.
I am not sure I see "sin" as even part of the equation.
It seems pretty straightforward. No one can come to Jesus without the work of the Father.
What is the biblical basis for ascribing theological worth to "human dignity"?
Do conservative Presbyterians accept 4-point Calvinists?

The Bishop River is a river in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains, flowing west from the western edge of the Lillooet Icecap to join the Southgate River east of the Homathko Icefield.  Bishop River Provincial Park surrounds the upper course of the river, from the source at the Lillooet Icecap to midway along its course above its confluence with the Southgate.

Name origin
The Bishop River was named for Richard Preston Bishop, born September 18, 1884 in Starcross, Devon, who was a British Columbia Land Surveyor.  He had been an officer in the Royal Navy in 1906-07 and served as a captain in World War I, but returned to British Columbia to resume work as a surveyor.  Many mountains in the Pacific Ranges, including Mount Sir Francis Drake and Mount Queen Bess, and the Golden Hinde on Vancouver Island, were named in the 1930s as proposed by him. He died in Victoria on February 13, 1954.  Of the many Elizabethan-era names in the Coast Mountains, many are in the area of the Bishop River, including Mount Raleigh which stands on the southeast side of the Bishop-Southgate confluence.  The Bishop River was named during his lifetime, in 1924, until then it had been known as the East Fork Southgate River.

Los Angeles County to pay $20M for Black family's seized land
Muji Sakawari January 6, 2023 Style Comments Off on Los Angeles County to pay $20M for Black family's seized land 23 Views
Southern California beachfront property that was taken from a black couple via eminent area a century in the past and returned to their heirs final 12 months will likely be bought again to Los Angeles County for almost $20 million, officers stated Tuesday.
The heirs' determination to promote what was as soon as often called Bruce's Seashore was introduced by Janice Hahn, chair of the county Board of Supervisors, and state Sen. Steven Bradford, who led native and state governmental efforts to undo the long-ago injustice.
"This combat has all the time been about what's greatest for the Bruce household, they usually really feel what's greatest for them is promoting this property again to the County for almost $20 million and eventually rebuilding the generational wealth they have been denied for almost a century," Hahn stated in an announcement.
Bradford, who authored the state laws that enabled the land's return, stated he supported the heirs' determination to promote it to the county as a result of present zoning laws would stop them from growing it in an economically useful method.
A poster reveals the steps to return property possession to the Bruce household.AP
The land within the metropolis of Manhattan Seashore was bought in 1912 by Willa and Charles Bruce, who constructed a small resort for African Individuals on the south shore of Santa Monica Bay.
The Bruces suffered racist harassment from white neighbors, and within the Twenties the Manhattan Seashore Metropolis Council condemned the property and took it via eminent area. The town did nothing with the property, and it was transferred to the state of California after which to Los Angeles County.
The county constructed its lifeguard coaching headquarters on the land, which features a small car parking zone.
The property the Bruce household regained and bought again to LA County. AP
Hahn discovered in regards to the property's historical past and launched the advanced means of returning the property, together with figuring out that two great-grandsons of the Bruces are their authorized heirs.
Phrases of the switch settlement accomplished final June referred to as for the property to be leased again to the county for twenty-four months, with an annual lease of $413,000 plus all operation and upkeep prices, and a potential sale again to the county for almost $20 million, the estimated worth.

It is the phrase any parent will know in their sleep. But why isn't it echoing in our hallways at school? Where is the demand to be seen? To show off what has been created? To share one's creative endeavours?
The other day I (somewhat) jokingly said to a colleague that we should "Banksy" the heck out of our school walls. Art Activists. Spreading a message. I think I would start with "Watch me!" – the war cry of children who create.
This leads me back to having a Bias Toward Action. Think of your kids. How often are they taking action? And don't confuse this with "working" or "being busy" but actually making, doing, creating, producing of their own accord?
One of my Maker heros passed away last week. The phenomenal Amy Krouse Rosenthal. She was a maker. She was a creator. She was someone who looked at the same things as everybody else, but through "Amy colored" glasses. She was kind, lovely, generous, smart, and oh so creative. I miss her already. And I wish for more. I have more to say on Amy. But for now, in her honor, please think about having your kids make things. Challenge yourself to do away with worksheets and pre-cut shapes and cookie-cutter "art" projects. Let your kids MAKE things. Stop having them fill in checklists and tick boxes and conform to your timeframe and LET. THEM. MAKE.
I SOOOO agree with this concept! What I run into is pushback from admins who don't understand this concept. They like the cookie-cutter projects because they look "cute". Also a great tribute to an amazing author! She will be dearly missed.
I love cute but to me, "cute" is in the overuse of glue, the insistance of using the black crayon, the wobbly, jagged edges, and the beaming pride from eyes that see something special and beautiful and unique. Anything looks cute displayed well. I want to know more than cute. Honestly when I see 20 identical projects, I cry a little. Where is the fun in that?

Fitnik is the new picnic! In order to promote a healthy and fit lifestyle, sportswear brand owners from WakeUp&Squat hosted this event last Saturday. As the name suggests; it is a healthy eat all you can buffet with one catch – the participants must prepare a healthy dish to try out and then participants vote the favourite one.
Since I am Indian, I decided to prepare idli. My boyfriend is a huge fan of idli, after our trip to India last year, so much so that when we returned we got some packets of rice idli mix and a mini idli cooker. Since idlis are basically steamed rice cakes, they are healthy with a single serving of idli having only up to 30Kcal. It is one of the most popular South Indian breakfast only next to the Masala Dosa.
As traditional rice idlis are time-consuming and require an overnight fermentation of the batter, I decided to make idlis with semolina or rava as we call it back home. We decided to serve 50 portions as we did not know how many people would attend this event. We got small take away boxes for one serving of idli and chutney. It was all about presentation. Everything had to be perfect from preparation to the final tasting.
The event started at 11 am where all the participants were provided with a place and the table to display their offering. As it was a fit event, all the snacks were health based. It's kind of a potluck with only healthy foods. The hosts also organized some games, like the most number of pull-ups, the longest squat (holding a squat for the maximum time period), the longest time for side way plank etc and the main prize was for the winner of the potluck contest. No one left empty-handed and each of us got a goodie bag, with healthy supplements like whey protein, energy drinks and bioproducts from the sponsors- Body Boom, Sports Definition, Fitlevel, Legal Cakes, Ekogram-Zielonki.
I did not win the other contests but came in second in the potluck. The idlis were a huge hit! I am proud and happy that everyone like my dish. Idli is a novelty and no one at the event previously heard about it, so it was really a great feeling to hear much positive feedback. Some were even going back for 2nds or 3rds! I had great fun and made some new friends. I think taking part in such activities and supporting local brand community is important and builds lasting relationships.
I follow Kayla Itsines and Cassey Ho's (Blogilates)programmes and mix it up in the gym with weight training. I must admit before I came to Poland I was just lazy. I used to go to work and back and this cycle went on and on for a long time, that I managed to develop a stomach pooch. I go to the gym regularly these days and for me taking part in such events, meeting other fit women is a great motivator. Exercising and staying active is a gift to your self. It is knowing that your body is strong and you just have to make your mind up.
I would like to say a special thanks to the organizers, sponsors and the owners of the store for coming up with this wonderful idea. I had taken lots of photos to remember this day and the process of idli making, which I must admit was worth the time and effort. Here are some pictures from the day. And remember to WakeUp&Squat, WakeUp&Squat, WakeUp&Squat!
Hi Doreen, when is another edition of this event?

Serafin Kaszuba (ur. 17 czerwca 1910 we Lwowie, zm. 20 września 1977 tamże) – Czcigodny Sługa Boży, zakonnik, kapucyn, nazywany Włóczęgą Bożym, przemierzał w ZSRR wbrew szykanom i panującemu tam terrorowi tysiące kilometrów, docierając z posługą kapłańską do odległych zakątków rozległego imperium.

Życiorys
Urodził się w 17 czerwca 1910 na peryferiach Lwowa, na Zamarstynowie, w rodzinie robotniczej. Oboje rodzice, Anna z domu Horak i Karol Kaszuba, należeli do III Zakonu św. Franciszka i wychowali czwórkę swoich dzieci w klimacie głębokiej pobożności i wzajemnej miłości. Alojzy uczęszczał do V Państwowego Gimnazjum im. Hetmana Stanisława Żółkiewskiego we Lwowie, po czym wstąpił do zakonu. Nowicjat rozpoczął w klasztorze kapucynów w Sędziszowie Małopolskim (20 sierpnia 1928) i przyjął imię zakonne Serafin, a studia teologiczne odbył w seminarium zakonnym przy ul. Loretańskiej w Krakowie. Święcenia kapłańskie otrzymał w 1933. Ukończył także studia z zakresu filologii polskiej na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim.

Był redaktorem czasopisma zakonnego "Wzlot Seraficki" (1936). W latach 1937–1939 uczył języka polskiego w niższym seminarium zakonnym (tzw. Kolegium serafickim) w Rozwadowie. Po wybuchu II wojny światowej, był duszpasterzem w Dublanach k/Lwowa, w różnych parafiach na terenie Wołynia i Polesia, m.in. w Dermance, Horodnicy, Karasinie, Ludwipolu, Starej Hucie.

W okresie okupacji niemieckiej i rzezi wołyńskiej kilkakrotnie uszedł z życiem, wielokrotnie też ratował życie innym, niósł ratunek i posługę duchową oczekującym.

Po wkroczeniu wojsk sowieckich na Wołyń w 1944 i włączeniu go do ZSRR o. Serafin pozostał wśród tamtejszych katolików, poddanych antyreligijnym represjom. Pracując w parafii Równe dojeżdżał do licznych, odległych parafii pozbawionych księży (Dubno, Korzec, Ostróg, Sarny, Zdołbunów). Już wtedy konspiracyjnie odwiedzał wspólnoty katolickie oddalone o kilkaset kilometrów od Wołynia – na Litwie i Łotwie.

W 1958 władze sowieckie postanowiły pozbawić o. Serafina możliwości legalnego sprawowania kultu i prowadzenia działalności duszpasterskiej w Równem i okolicy, w oparciu o spreparowane zarzuty – pijaństwo i rozwiązłość. Został podstępnie wymeldowany, otrzymał zakaz sprawowania czynności duszpasterskich. Nie posiadając zameldowania, konspiracyjnie docierał coraz dalej: na Białoruś, Litwę, na Zaporoże, Krym, do Kijowa czy odległej Estonii. Ustawicznie śledzony i nękany przez organy bezpieki, postanowił dotrzeć do odległego Kazachstanu. Objął tam opieką duszpasterską rozległy teren celinogradzki. W Kazachstanie żyło wówczas około 60 – 100 tysięcy Polaków, którzy przeżyli gehennę przymusowych deportacji. Aby zmylić czujność władz pracował zawodowo, otwierając warsztat introligatorski. W 1966 został aresztowany w czasie jednej z "wypraw apostolskich" i pod zarzutem włóczęgostwa skazany na pięcioletnie zesłanie do sowchozu w Arykty skąd został przeniesiony do sowchozu w Arszatyńsku. Każde miejsce zesłania było dla niego nowym wyzwaniem duszpasterskim, z którego chętnie korzystali także przedstawiciele innych wyznań, a także niewierzący. Zwolniony z sowchozu 16 listopada 1966 wkrótce potem 22 grudnia 1966 został ponownie zatrzymany i skazany na 11 lat pobytu w zakładzie dla nieuleczalnie chorych w Małej Timofijewce k. Celinogradu, skąd zbiegł 8 lutego 1967 r., by nadal, jako duszpasterz pracować w Kazachstanie.

Chory na gruźlicę i nękany postępującą głuchotą, coraz dotkliwiej przeszkadzającą mu w wypełnianiu duszpasterskich obowiązków, poddał się leczeniu szpitalnemu w Polsce, gdzie przebywał od 19 sierpnia 1968 do 13 czerwca 1970 r.

Leczenie szpitalne, dolegliwości pooperacyjne, wreszcie przerywany krwotokami okres rekonwalescencji w Polsce nie powstrzymały go przed powrotem do wiernych, wśród których pracował na rozległych terenach Związku Radzieckiego.

19 września 1977 wracał z Równego do Lwowa i z powodu awarii autobusu, mimo dotkliwego zimna i deszczu, musiał przebyć kilkukilometrową podróż pieszo. Próbował zatrzymać się i odpocząć w domu znajomych, ale został ostrzeżony, że dopiero co milicja – poszukując go – dokonała tam właśnie rewizji. Zanim znaleziono mu miejsce u innych ludzi, czekał moknąc na ulicy. Tejże nocy zmarł (20 września 1977). Pochowany został na cmentarzu Janowskim nieopodal grobu świętego ks. arcybiskupa Józefa Bilczewskiego. Ekshumacja jego relikwii miała miejsce 16 listopada 2010 r. a następnego dnia umieszczenie ich w kościele kapucynów w Winnicy.

Positio dotyczące o. Serafina Kaszuby zostało złożone w Kongregacji Spraw Kanonizacyjnych w Watykanie 3 października 2011 r.

It's a platformer about magic and whacking things! What does that mean? It means you go around whacking enemies with your staff to get their magic! But ultimately, all you need to do is make it to the goal!

Car park ticket advertising isn't just about increasing sales and spreading the word of special offers: it's also the perfect platform for growing awareness and engagement for a range of community projects and social marketing initiatives.
From healthcare to education, fostering to crime prevention, fire safety to recycling programmes, there's so much good in the world that needs shouting about. Luckily for organisations in the UK, AdsOnTickets is here with hundreds of first-rate advertising sites, premium customer service and highly competitive prices, allowing you to get people involved without exhausting your budget.
By using our versatile and powerful promotional platform, you can reach huge audiences in your target areas, such as a specific city, a wider region, or even across the UK if your message is nationally relevant. You can also run up to six campaigns simultaneously; for example, a local NHS authority could promote information for mental health, pregnancy, physical fitness, vaccinations, health checks and local pharmacies, all at the same time. This is ideal for organisations with multiple messages and focus areas, easily allowing you to segment your budgets whilst achieving excellent coverage.
Over the years we've run advertising campaigns about volunteering with the Samaritans, registering to vote with Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, the NHS's bowel cancer screening programme, fostering in Rotherham, and an anti-violence campaign in Scotland, as well as many others. As with any kind of campaign, the key is to make it eye-catching and easy to digest, combined with a clear call to action. This could be to visit a website, follow your social media accounts, or in some cases to prevent services being used incorrectly, such as when to visit a GP instead of A&E, or how to use recycling and waste bins effectively so that they'll always be collected.
Meanwhile, a school, college, university or online educational platform could advertise anything from enrolment days to online courses, which also applies to arts organisations that offer community engagement and creative learning opportunities.
As well as providing a cost-effective way to get people on board, we also make the whole process very easy thanks to a team of advertising experts, an in-house design team that can be hired if you don't have your own designer, and an exemplary customer journey from start to finish. All of this comes with a low price tag and a fantastic return on investment, making AdsOnTickets a savvy choice for the NHS, local authorities, fostering agencies, universities, and any other organisation that's dedicated to making the world a better place for everyone.
Ready to get cracking? Call our friendly team today on 01482 679608 or use our contact form. Following a chat about what it is you want to achieve, we'll create a tailored arrangement that will help you to meet your KPIs and improve your local community in no time at all.

Q: Relationship between a,b and c that make the equation system have infinite solutions i have this matrix
\begin{cases}
\phantom{2}x_1+2x_2-3x_3=a\\
2x_1+3x_2+3x_3=b\\
5x_1+9x_2-6x_3=c\\
\end{cases}
And the excercise says that i have to find the relationship between a, b, c that makes that the set of equations to have infinite solutions. I have to use python for this but i dont know for where to start. The excercise says at the end "Declare a,b,c as symbolic variables"

A: As @KBS suggested, after learning a little bit more i made a Gaussian elimination process on the matrix and this is the result:
\begin{cases}
\phantom{2}x_1+2x_2-3x_3=a\\
0x_1-1x_2+9x_3=b-2a\\
0x_1+0x_2-0x_3=3a-c+b\\
\end{cases}
This mean that the system has infinite solutions, right?. And how can i make this same process in python and show this result?.

I tasted it. It is bitter.
Contradictory to its aromatic scent.
Best in a light midafternoon meal.
Or during a serene quiet night.
Some hint it is better with your honey.
Just a little to make it semisweet.
I say, no thank you I prefer it raw.
I wouldn't have my tea in any other way.


In the process of buying and selling used bikes in the Lower Mainland, Gord of Bike Rescue sometimes has an "aha!" moment that tips him off to the fact that a bike might be stolen.
Sometimes it's unique or custom markings on the bike, a rare model, or a combination of parts that sets the bike apart from the herd. And sometimes it's a little more obvious.
While Gord is 100 per cent sure the bike was stolen and has checked the serial numbers on the frame with the police, no one has filed a theft report with the police or posted information about the theft on the usual cycling websites. He's holding onto the bike a little longer, waiting for the actual owner to turn up. If nobody comes forward, Gord will eventually sell the bike and use the proceeds from the sale to purchase other bikes — some of which may have been stolen — so that he can return them to their rightful owners at no charge.
Gord has a last name but he's asked that it not be used — he doesn't want to make himself a target for bike thieves who think he's a snitch, and he doesn't want his sources for bikes to dry up. He does share information with police, but with about 200 bikes being stolen every day in Vancouver — making the city the bike theft capital of the world, says Gord — the Vancouver police and RCMP only recover a small percentage of bikes.
In two years Gord and Bike Rescue have reunited more than 154 bikes with their owners, and has another 40 or so bikes pending confirmation. He has returned bikes to owners in Squamish, Whistler, throughout the Lower Mainland, Alberta, Washington, and even to a rider from England.
About 75 per cent of the bikes he buys and sells are legitimate, says Gord, or he can't prove otherwise. Mistakes have been made — one time he accidentally sold a bike before his mandatory 30-day waiting period was over, only to have the owner identify the bike after being featured on CTV. Another time the police typed an incorrect serial number into their system, and he sold a bike believing it to be clean.

Tambomayo
Caylloma, Arequipa
Tambomayo (100% BVN) is an underground, high-grade gold and silver operation located in the District of Tapay, Province of Caylloma, Region of Arequipa, at 4,800 masl. It successfully produced its first doré bar in December 2016. This mine was discovered by Buenaventura.
Geology: Tambomayo is an epithermal/mesothermal polymetallic deposit in veins of gold and silver, with base metals in veins of quartz, emplaced in andesitic volcanic rocks from the Tertiary. Gold is found in native state and electrum, while silver is found in sulfides and sulfosalts accompanied by galena and sphalerite. It has two main systems of veins: Mirtha, running NW-SE, and Paola, running N-NE. There are also nearby exploration areas.
Mining: The main veins in the deposit form part of the Mirtha and Paola systems. The mineral is extracted via ramps and the 4840 cross-cut using 30-ton trucks. Exploitation methods used include overhand cut and fill and mechanized bench and fill, using low-profile equipment. For the ventilation of works, there are two main 300,000 cfm fans and secondary fans for explorations and developments. For mine drainage, there is a water pumping station with a capacity of 60 l/s, which evacuates water to the 4740 level for treatment.
Metallurgy: The metallurgical process at Tambomayo consists of primary crushing, fine milling, and cyanidation in tanks to obtain rich solutions in gold and silver to be processed using the Merrill-Crowe plant. The precipitate is dried and smelted, obtaining doré bars (gold and silver). The cyanidation tailings enter the flotation process, from where lead-silver and zinc-silver concentrates are obtained.
Treatment Capacity: 2,000 MTD

Chapter 91 - Fight the...
Ning Jinshui's abduction incident was resolved in a shocking manner, and everyone was relieved to continue roasting hares.
The chef is naturally Zhu Fat, don't look at him as a rich second-generation, but in fact, there is a restaurant chef-level craftsmanship, steaming, frying, frying, and roasting ravioli, there is no one he cannot!
Therefore, the final roasted rabbit meat is golden in appearance and uniformly heated, and there is no trace of charred. Unfortunately, there is no cumin pepper, only salt, or the flavor is definitely more fragrant.
Of course, the most praised one is the mutant hare.
It big and fat, there really is a medicinal odor in the meat, and it tastes really delicious!
So the mutant hare was immediately divided up by the five, and even Ming Jiajia couldn't help but eat a mouthful of oil and kept giving Zhu Fat a thumbs up.
"It's delicious! Fat man, it's a pity that you don't want to be a chef for this craft!"
"That's it! Zhu Zhenxing, I take back the previous one, with your cooking skill, I believe any team will need you!"
"It's really delicious ... it can be so fragrant without seasonings, oh, unfortunately, this mutant hare is too hard to find, and it will be eaten in just a few mouthfuls!"
"Ordinary rabbits are also delicious, just lacking a little fragrant."
Everyone had a beautiful meal, one after another ate a mouthful of oil and then lay on the grass with a full stomach to rest.
But at this moment, a small figure quietly flew in the ear of Zhong Yihan, and whispered, "Master, there are three big dogs coming here."
Zhong Yihan frowned slightly and finally came to a challenge.
He hurriedly said, "Everyone is up, there is movement!"
The crowd froze and saw Zhong Yihan had stood up to prepare the black sword and longbow, and immediately knew he was not joking, so they got up quickly.
The fat man carried the giant axe, and yelled, "Is there another robber?"
"Almost ... look there!"
Several people looked in the direction pointed by Zhong Yihan, and it turned out that there were abnormal fluctuations in the grass there.
Fan looked at it vigorously for a while and exclaimed: "Look! It's a wolf!"
"There are three!"
Zhong Yihan laughed: "This is just a chance to practice, Dali, Jinshui, and Jiajia. You each deal with one, I'll help you."
The three looked at each other, and they saw the panic and anxiety in each other's eyes.
Can they kill these wild wolves? !!
Zhong Yihan saw that the three had no confidence, and said, "Jia Jia, weren't you asking me before, how did the knife momentum come out?"
Pointing at the wolves in the distance, he said: "Fighting to kill a hundred of these things, you can also practice a certain momentum."
"Yihan ..." Zhu Fatty said strangely. "When have you killed a hundred wild wolves?"
Zhong Yihan ignored him but said: "In fact, the wild wolves are generally ranked among the beasts regardless of their strength or explosive power. Their strongest is teamwork and strong endurance. With your strength, Killing a wild wolf alone is not a problem at all, it just depends on whether you dare to fight. "
"So, this is the best opportunity to experience it! Don't forget the purpose of our coming here? You are now wearing protective clothing, and you have sharp weapons in your hands if you dare not even kill a wild wolf, So why are you here? Sightseeing? "
A few people looked at each other, Fan Dali took the lead and said, "Yihan is right! Jiajia, Jinshui, let's go together!"
"Yes! Do them!"
"I ... OK, OK, I try my best."
Zhong Yihan stepped back two steps, bowed his arrows, and said, "Please rest assured, I will take care of you on the side."
The three felt relieved.
At this time, the three wild wolves finally approached and got out of the grass.
These three wild wolves saw thin bones at the first sight, apparently had not eaten for a long time, and the bones and residues of the hare that were littered in the open space in front had undoubtedly attracted them.
But there are several two-legged beasts in front, and it is not a good stubble at first glance.
The three wild wolves made threatening sounds of "whine" side by side, trying to scare the two bipeds away.
At this time, Fan Dali shouted, "Brothers!"
Then he rushed up first!
Ning Jinshui and Ming Jiajia rushed along with him.
Then there was a fierce battle between humans and wolves.
Fan Dali and Ning Jinshui apparently turned fear into strength, wielding a chaotic cloak in their hands, forcing the two wild wolves to dodge again and again, and did not dare to approach.
Ming Jiajia was playing against another wolf, but she could clearly see that her hand was shaking slightly.
The fat man came over and whispered, "Yihan, will it be okay?"
Zhong Yihan did not speak but watched from the side.
In the next half-minute, the three men and three wolves did not have any injuries because they were testing each other. After half a minute, it was clear that Fan Dali and Ning Jinshui had already mastered a few skills. They found that these wild wolves' attack method is so simple, the threat is not great.
Ning Jinshui shouted, "They are afraid of the knife in our hands!"
There was a smile on Zhong Yihan's face, and they finally found it.
That's right, these wild wolves obviously know that the long things in the hands of these two-footed beasts pose a great threat to them, so they don't dare to come up and rush.
This is the advantage that humans can use tools.
Under the blessing of the weapon, the three people gradually found confidence. Of course, everyone was accidentally scratched a few times during this period, but there was a protective suit, so not too bad.
Zhong Yihan watched the three men fighting and couldn't help remembering the time when he had just fought in Different World.
This is the growth that young people of this age must experience.
After a while, a wild wolf was severely chopped by Fan Dali, sobbing to escape, and chased and killed by Fan Dali. The remaining two wild wolves saw their companions die, sent out sad mourning, and then fled together.
The three immediately caught up.
Because Ning Jinshui and Fan Dali were closer, the two chased each other at the same time.
Ming Jiajia was far away from the two and chased the other side by herself.
But at this moment, the wild wolf that Ming Jiajia chased suddenly turned back, showing a fierce light in its eyes, even stopped, then turned and flung towards Ming Jiajia!
Ming Jiajia screamed and waved.
The long knife in her hand was cut on the wolf's head, and a bloodstain was cut, but it was not fatal. Instead, it stimulated the fierceness of the wolf and pressed Ming Jiajia.
Then, the wild wolf opened mouth wide and bite hard at Ming Jiajia's throat!
Zhu Zhenxing, Ning Jinshui, and Fan Dali all exclaimed, and Ming Jiajia closed her eyes in despair.
But just then.
Suddenly a black light flashed!
"Oh!"
A steel arrow shot accurately from the side of the wolf, penetrating the entire wolf's head, and the subsequent forces flew the wolf out.
Ming Jiajia was panicked and held back a few steps, only to find that the wild wolf fell aside, not moving, and could not die anymore.
She looked subconsciously to the side and saw that Zhong Yihan just stowed his bow, trot over, and stretched out his hand, "Jiajia, are you all right?"
Ming Jiajia flattened her mouth and didn't know where the strength came from, hugging Zhong Yihan and crying!

Picking a baby doctor is a big deal. You will soon realize after their arrival that your protective mama instincts are STRONG and you will only want the best care for your little one. Picking the professional to look over their health requires alot of attention. I have to admit as a first time mom, I felt kind of strange about "interviewing" a doctor. I almost felt like it might be insulting to them? I soon found out it is perfectly normal and they are very open to it. It's important for both parties to be on the same page when it comes to the health of your child, so most doctors are very open to the interview process. Here's how to get started with this whole selection process.
First and foremost make sure that the office accepts your insurance. It may be easier to work backwards on this one. Instead of calling around to all baby docs in your area, simply contact your insurance company and ask for a list of in network doctors within the mile radius you are willing to travel.
Once you have a list to work with, you can begin doing your research. The internet has made the research process easier, but don't believe everything you read. I was SET on a doctor for Emmy based on reviews. He was 5 stars all around and seemed golden. He had even written a few articles that were published online that made me love the idea of him even more. But then I met him, and I quickly realized he wasn't the one. It was a personal preference and nothing about his expertise. So big lesson here is don't just base your decision on the internet. A face to face meeting is crucial. I would suggest having a list of 3 potential doctors to interview with an additional 3 back ups. Let's hope it doesn't get to the point of having to do 6 meetings, but it's better to be prepared.
In order to set up a time with your selected pediatricians, simply call their office and speak with someone who sets the appointments. let them know your expected delivery date and that you would like to schedule a time to see if Doctor X is the right fit for your family.
Is there a separate room for infants? You will be taking your baby there when he or she is just a week old, you don't want her rubbing elbows with a snotty nose kiddo.
Do they have a separate waiting area for well children and sick children? You don't want the routine check ups that come later on to lead to a sick visit just a few days later.
Is the office staff friendly? Do they seem to operate in an efficient manner? One negative about our first doctor interview was the front desk staff seemed very confused and getting some simple paperwork at the end of our appointment was a 10 minute ordeal. This wouldn't be fun with a sick baby.
Is the office clean? Are there dirty toys lying around?
Once you get in to meet with doctor, this is where things really get down to the niddy griddy. Here is a list of questions I took with me. Remember, before you ask your doctor these questions, you need to know what answers you are looking for and what is acceptable. Sit down with baby daddy the day before the first meeting to go through these questions.
Are there other doctors at the same practice who could see your child if Doctor X is not available? This was a big issue for me. Our insurance policy did not cover urgent care very well and I did not want to have to go just because the doctor took Fridays off. Having another doctor at the same practice is a BIG plus!
What are the procedures for calling and speaking to a nurse regarding an issue that may not warrant a visit? What is the usual call back time?
Where are labs completed? You will have to do a few once baby is born. It's no fun to have to travel far with a itty bitty baby so being done in office or relatively close is a big plus.
Do they take sick children appointments ahead of well children? This is a plus if your baby is sick! They get in quick but it can mean extra wait time if you are taking kiddo for a well check.
Here is a list of "views" you need to ask about. These are the big ones you need to discuss before seeing the doctor!
Immunizations: All at once? Spread them out?
Sleep training: cry it out or no tears solution? Co-sleeping?
Breast feeding or bottle feeding?
Introducing solids. Waiting until 6 months, 1 year? Or introduce earlier around 4 months?
I know this can all seem very overwhelming, but you are already on the right track by researching how to be prepared. Grab a pen and paper and your baby daddy and get to talkin'! The time and effort you invest in making this decision will be well worth it when you realize how comforting it is having full trust in the man or woman taking care of your baby's health.
New mamas-Are there any other important questions you would add to this list? Comment and share!

Is Florida having Democratic Party voter troubles?
Politico has a piece on the view for Florida's Democrats, starting with US Senator Bill Nelson's problems….
Narrowly ahead with Hispanic voters, which Democratic thought would be a big boost for him?
The rest of the down ballot party candidates seem to be worried…
Oh, ?
More Republican's typically vote in midterm elections then Democrats…
That ,and the number of Democratic voters in the state seems to be declining….
What blue wave?
While it's notched four consecutive wins in local bellwether races, Florida's Democratic Party has lost a share of its registered voters in Florida since 2016 and the percentage of Democrats casting vote-by-mail absentee ballots this month trails those mailed in by Republicans, according to new figures from the state's elections division.
A Democratic blue wave might still come. But so could a Republican red tide.
After all, this is purple Florida, the nation's biggest swing state, where hard-to-predict elections are won on the margins and a 2-point win for a top-of-the-ticket candidate can look like a landslide.
"If a blue wave is forming, it certainly hasn't crested. Maybe there's a red tide coming in and affecting the blue wave?" said Daniel A. Smith, a University of Florida political science professor who studies the state's voter rolls and trends.
So far, there's enough data to show that some of Democrats' hoped-for advantages — concerning Hispanic voters, Democratic voter registrations, Democratic ballots cast or young voters — haven't clearly materialized heading into the Aug. 28 primary. With close Senate and gubernatorial races, Florida is one of the most important states for both parties in the 2018 midterms.
For this election, the percentage of active registered Democrats is down by nearly 2 percentage points compared with 2016, according to Florida Division of Elections data published Sunday for the primary. Because Florida doesn't allow last-minute voter registration, the figures are final.
Some Democrats are worried, but they won't say so publicly. They haven't occupied the governor's mansion in 20 years, and the only statewide elected Democrat, Sen. Bill Nelson, who is seeking reelection, is slightly trailing Gov. Rick Scott in recent polls as the Republican has unloaded on him in a broad TV ad campaign.
"None of us will admit this publicly, but we're worried. Where's the blue wave?"…

Germany's first wind-plus-storage park goes online
Wind turbine. Author: Frédéric BISSON. License: Creative Commons, Attribution 2.0 Generic.
A 7.2-MW wind park paired with a battery storage system with a capacity of 3 MWh has been put into operation in the German state of Brandenburg.
The hybrid facility was built by renewables developer Juwi AG and battery storage specialist Smart Power GmbH and represents the first subsidised wind-plus-storage plant in Germany.
The project was among the winners in the first innovation tender organised by the Federal Network Agency in September 2020.
In the Uckermark district in the northeastern part of Brandenburg, Juwi installed two Vestas V136 turbines each with a capacity of 3.6 MW and Smart Power built the lithium-ion battery storage system, the two companies said on Wednesday.
With its battery, the Schmoelln II plant will support the security of supply and grid stability because it will be capable of feeding green electricity into the power grid even in times of low winds.
Commenting on the project, Juwi executive Christian Arnold said that the issue of storing green power is gaining momentum and will play an increasingly important role in the future.
The two companies are currently working on another hybrid project in Baden-Wuerrtemberg that includes a 9.8-MW solar park combined with battery storage of 3.7 MWh. The Seckach plant is located in the Neckar-Odenwald district and is set to come into operation at the beginning of 2023. The facility will be operated by Mannheim-based energy company MVV.

You know that feeling when you're half way through a show and all you can think about is Edwardian bloomers? No? Admittedly my life is pretty strange in that respect but I know that I am not alone in leading a life that leaves little room for 'me time'. I can barely stay on top of the business of getting through a day and then there is the added pressure of household chores, shopping, cleaning, cooking. Somehow in the middle of all of this for the sake of my sanity I have to find time to for me.
Being quite a solitary person it can be a bit awkward to say to people, "Look I'm sorry I just have to be by myself". I love to chat and I love living with my friends but I still need to be left with my own thoughts. Most of the time I implement this through reading. I am sure you all know the joy of disappearing from yourself for a little while and thinking exclusively of another world. But right now I hardly have time for that. If ever I do get time to myself I open a book only to stare at the pages for 5 minutes before closing it again. The frantic nature of my life has disturbed the quite places of my mind so that any moment of stillness resonates with the absence of all the things I ought to be doing.
I have however, come to a sort of solution. For a long time now I have had a Kindle and so am by no means new to ebooks. However, I did recently get a new phone and the bigger screen has opened up a world of reading where I least expected it. I first came to this discovery when I was stuck on a train with nothing to read. At the time I was slogging my way through Bleak House and I found that I could download the ebook, for free, straight to my phone. This discovery has greatly changed my life and the way I read so I thought I would share some of my favourite things about ebooks with you.
Easy to Carry. You know that dilemma of "I have nearly finished my book should I take another one with me?". Going on holiday and worried that you might finish your book on the plane out and then have nothing to read for the rest of the week? With ebooks this isn't a problem. Take as many books as you like on one device. If you finish all of those? Just download some more (wi-fi permitting).
Free Books. Yes you heard me free books. A lot of classics or books in the public domain are available for free. That means you can download as many as you like and still stick to your book buying ban.
Protect your Precious Hardbacks. The other bonus of getting classics for free is you can own a physical copy in whichever beautiful edition takes your fancy, read that copy at home where it is safe from being left on the train or dropped in the gutter, then read the free ebook in whichever moments you can grab.
Make the Text Bigger. This one is perhaps a little more niche than the others but I love that I can adjust the font size on my Kindle. I am slightly dyslexic and being able to make the font bigger has made reading so much easier. As a result I read faster and with greater understanding and I don't care if anyone is judging me when they peer over my shoulder.
Read Everywhere. Having ebooks on my phone is great because I take it everywhere with me anyway. No bulky paperbacks. No extra Kindle. Just the things I was going to take with me anyway. This means I ALWAYS have a book on me no matter what and as a result, I read when every the moment permits. Waiting for the bus. Read. Waiting in the dentists. Read. On the underground and want to avoid awkwardly staring at the person opposite. Read. The added bonus of being able to read in these otherwise wasted moments is that I am finally able to grab some precious escapism, free from that nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach. In those moments I couldn't possibly be doing any of the many things on my to do list and with that knowledge I can finally leave the real world behind me.
I know that people say that ebooks have none of the magic of physical books and I agree. However, for me the act of reading is magical in itself, no matter how you do it. I still love physical books with their sense of wonder and beauty but ebooks have won me over with their practicality. I love that I can have the best of both worlds. Ebooks have enabled me to read more and I am grateful for that.
After the rather dark and crusty world of Bleak House I fancied a bit of a shift in time and place. So The Godfather was about as different as it could get. I had seen maybe the first 15 minutes of the film a few years ago but I knew of course the general sort of plot. New York Italian gangsters.
Vito Corleone is the Don of the Corleone family. Head of the family olive oil business he is also a notorious mafioso. He commands the respect of the entire Italian community of New York and the USA. His friendship is invaluable and people flock to ask this most powerful of men a favour for which they are forever in his debt. The Godfather follows the Corleone family through the underworld of 1940s New York, a tale of blackmail, murder and revenge.
Now I didn't really expect to enjoy The Godfather but it was so compelling I couldn't help but like it. It is so well written the world is completely absorbing. For some reason when you are reading it, it all seems completely reasonable and logical. This world has its own rules and they don't seem so bad. It is only when you stop reading and come back to the real world that it sinks in how brutal and cruel it is. I must warn you that this book is very graphically violent. But the violence is described in such a casual nonchalant way that it isn't particularly shocking. You just accept it as the characters do in the book.
I don't really know how to classify this book because my instinct is Thriller/Suspense but when I think about it I can't really pick out an actually mystery. There is no problem to solve as thrillers often have, this book is more about getting to the truth. The truth of what it is like to be a part of the Mafia. It is gripping and you have to know how it ends. You care about the characters without having any empathy for them. You want to know what happens to them but you don't really mind what the outcome is so long as you know. The mystery is this world and as a reader I got a buzz from learing secrets so carefully guarded. It is like the Sicilian law of omerta (silence) has been broken and all the Mafia's depravity laid bare for all to see.
That is why I feel this book is so incredibly clever. It creates for the reader the mindset of this world. Concerned but detached. It comes alive so vividly. I also really enjoy the complex characters Puzo creates. Those who are clever and ruthless and loving all at the same time. It is a strange world and an excellent read. I never would have read it if I hadn't started on the BBC Top 100 and I am so glad I did because it brought me The Godfather.
Would recommend to: adults (definitely not suitable for children) who feel disengaged from society.


"We are in the business of selling happiness" that is one of the mantra of the Abang Burn team. Creating a tasty meat product is their forte but to sell it is successfully to the consumers is the most challenging. In short, it's about how to ensure your consumers love your brand in the long run. Burger Bakar Abang Burn (BBAB), one of the Malaysia's fastest growing food chain, had always strive towards this goal. Starting with only three employees, the brand today have successfully generated 200++ jobs in just a single year.
Everyone knows that Labour Day is a public holiday but not for Abang Burn's team as that was the day the team pulled together their might to start the business.
In this interview, at Taman Melawati Kuala Lumpur, Nurul Izwanie Hashim, PR Executive for " Burger Bakar Abang Burn " (BBAB) shared the experience gained from the very beginning and how the idea of licensing / franchising started.
How did Abang Burn's became one of the Malaysia's fastest growing food chain?
Michael Teoh: How did Abang Burn begin?
Nurul Izwanie : Abang Burn learnt the art of creating burgers from Australia. During his time in Australia, he got to be familiar with many kinds of meat processing techniques and butchery. Abang Burn created a meat shop in Malaysia but it was unsuccessful and eventually closed its doors. Meat shop was not successful as many ordinary Malaysians at that time preferred to purchase meat at the wet market and hypermarkets. He later applied his knowledge in the Burger Bakar industry and the brand gained prominence.
Michael Teoh: Where is the first outlet of Abang Burn situated and how Abang Burn find this place attractive?
Nurul Izwanie : Abang Burn's first outlet is at Dagang Avenue Food court, Ampang. Why foodcourt? A food court has a stable amount of visitors. For a new brand like Abang Burn, this is actually an excellent market positioning to attract existing food court visitors to try the burgers. At this time we do not have a high marketing budget and we had to rely on existing market to achieve positive cashflow. And why Abang does not start with a restaurant? The reason is that majority Malaysians would most likely purchase a grilled burger from a kiosk because it is deemed unique to our youth market segment. You can get grilled burgers at TGI Fridays, Tony Romas, etc.
Michael Teoh: What are the core factors that help Abang Burn to have 14 outlets in a year?
Nurul Izwanie: "Cepat, Sedap & Servis Terbaik". That is our operational core principles for our frontliners in our kiosks and restaurants. All our methods are integrated to achieve speed. We calculated every single second along our assembly lines and segregated into 3 main tasks; "just do, think and do, analyze, think and do". If our crew could only "just do" without thinking and analyzing then our burgers would be processed faster by the crew. We also believe in crew ownership and "efficiency wage" advocated by Henry Ford. Our crew is given cash incentive for teamwork performed based on daily sales. If the kiosk manages to earn RM 5,000 sales a day, the staff would get RM 20 each. Calculate this into 26 working days and they would earn an extra RM 520 not including overtime and meals. Our crew in a performing outlet could earn as much as RM 2k and our supervisors could earn as much as RM 3k.
In terms of the management system, we are proudly built by cloud computing. We utilize cloud computing applications for our accounting, Enterprise Resource Planning, project management, quality control forms email and document management system. For example, we are able to cut down the processing time for quality audit at our kiosks from 2 days to instant report with the help of cloud computing. It has greatly accelerated our decision making and hence our infrastructure in terms of outlet expansion.
We are also strict on our licensees. We have received tremendous amount of application for license or franchise. However, we only select based on a licensee's character, leadership abilities, multi-tasking skills and commitment to engage in the business on a full time basis. We have managed to assist 5 of our licensees to achieve full return on investment after a period of only 3-6 months. While all businesses need at least 3 years for return on investment, we are proud of our achievement but it always goes back to the character of our licensee and their attitude in terms of our Standard Operating Procedure compliance. Our products requisition is also performed centrally at Shah Alam and this ensures consistency for all the burgers sold at our outlets.
Michael Teoh: What inspires Abang Burn to be better than other food franchising business?
Nurul Izwanie: We always put blessings in our mind and it will be adapted to all business dealings. Despite the licensees sharing the risk by allocating their capital to run the business, we always believe that it is our main responsibility as a licensor to ensure that all our licensees achieve the Return On Investment (ROI). No one would be happy when a business is not profitable and that is the reason why we are extremely strict on who is our licensee. People measure profit in its entirely, we measure happiness as our blessings for our both of customers and licensees / franchisees.
Michael Teoh: What are some goals that Abang Burn still trying to accomplish?
Nurul Izwanie: We want to be a brand loved by Malaysians. It's not about Burger Bakar but about selling happiness through abang burn. So, in order to accomplish this goal, we have to always bear in mind that we must be aware with the customers'happiness. We believe our work is an ibadah. There is a saying that a smile is considered sadaqa and for ourselves we consider giving happiness to customers as more than sadaqa. We are always in constant pursuit of blessings for our afterlife. We do are not looking for profit maximization, we are looking to accomplish blessings maximization.

A YOUNG hero of the Second World War from York who was killed when his Spitfire was shot down by enemy fire over Italy is to be finally laid to rest 74-years on.
Warrant Officer John Henry Coates, known as Harry, served with 111 Squadron and was declared missing in action after the RAF aircraft he was piloting crashed close to the village of Cavarzere on the outskirts of Venice in March 1945.
Now, more than seven decades later, he is set to be given a military funeral which will be attended by around 22 relatives after his body was discovered by Italian aviation archaeologists.
His immediate family all died without knowing how or where the 24-year-old solider was killed. Harry didn't have any children himself, but he had three brothers and three sisters.
Harry's niece Helen Watts, 65, whose mother, Molly Dearlove, was Harry's younger sister, said: "Myself and my siblings grew up knowing that our uncle had gone missing towards the end of the Second World War.
"It is absolutely amazing that he has been found all these years later. This is the kind of thing that only ever happens to someone else."
Harry, was born in York in 1921 and his parents, John and Eliza Coates lived in Eighth Avenue in Tang Hall.
He worked as a draughtsman in the civil engineers department of The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in the city and, although in a reserved occupation, he chose to volunteer for the RAF and trained as a pilot.
By early 1945 he was based near Rimini supporting operations to drive the German forces out of Italy and had been taking part in the dawn bombing of barges moored on a canal when his plane was targeted by anti-aircraft fire and exploded on impact with the ground.
His name was engraved on the Malta War Memorial, a 49ft column commemorating the 2,298 Commonwealth aircrew who lost their lives around the Mediterranean and who have no known grave.
Helen said: "We had always thought his plane had gone down close to Lake Como, so it was a surprise he was discovered elsewhere.
"Sadly none of his siblings, including my mother, lived to see the day. They would have been thrilled by the news.
"My mother didn't even realise his name was on the Malta War Memorial.

This study seeks to evaluate the shareholder wealth effect of corporate name change by Malaysian listed companies. Our sample comprises both failed and non-failed Malaysian companies and standard event study methodology is employed. Our results indicate that corporate name changes have no impact on shareholder wealth unless the announcement is accompanied with news of approved corporate restructuring by Malaysian regulatory authorities. In addition, extraordinary abnormal returns were found on the announcement day for the failed companies group whilst, the sub-sample of non-failed companies experienced a significant low negative abnormal return around the announcement date indicating disapproval of cosmetic name changes. Investors in Malaysia are generally cautious about receiving news of a corporate name change. The study also suggests that the market cannot be fooled by mere name change, such a change must be backed by serious efforts towards recovery.


Has anyone else experienced this? For the last several days, I've been extremely anxious and stubborn about everything. I'm unwilling to make change in my eating patterns, I'm angry at the world and will do whatever it takes to restrict more. But then I had a crash in my emotions and thought patterns. My dietician wants me to go to a treatment center and at first, I really thought I wanted to go. I was preparing myself to talk to my parents about it. But then my mindset changed. I don't care about anything anymore. I won't fight for further treatment but I won't fight against it. I am good either way. If my dad tries to control me or gets angry with me, so be it. I won't cause any conflict, I will just let it happen. I don't want to make any decisions especially when I don't really trust myself. I can't be trusted with anything involving food because I always restrict or get out of meals when I can. I am stubborn and deceptive and that's why I desperately need someone to make me eat. But I don't care if I eat and I have a hard time believing this is really a problem. I'm in denial and don't realize this is a dangerous thing. According to my doctor and dietician, I have a lot of health problems from this but I have a hard time believing it's really that serious. I could lose my life if I keep this up but I don't care about anything at this point.
Is this mental shift due to malnutrition? I didn't used to think this way. I always wanted to recover but now it's like my brain is shutting down. I don't want any decisions to make, I don't want to spend extra energy on caring about things, I had way too much anxiety over the past few days that I'm just so mentally exhausted.
