A Forwarded Message What Happens in Heaven
Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section..
The angel then said to me, This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them... I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. This is the Acknowledgment Section, my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed How is it that there is no work going on here? I asked.
So sad, the angel sighed. After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments ..
How does one acknowledge Gods blessings? I asked.
Simple, the angel answered. Just say, Thank you, Lord.
What blessings should they acknowledge? I asked.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy .
And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day .
If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation .... you are ahead of 700 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.
If your parents are still alive and still married ....you are very rare .
If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, youre unique to all those in doubt and despair.
Okay, what now? How can I start? If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
Have a good day, count your blessings!!!
Murder with a KISS!
A woman has been sentenced to death for killing her lover with a kiss! Xia Xinfeng and her childhood sweetheart, Mao Ansheng, swore an oath that if either was unfaithful, they would have to die. Xia took action after she saw her man talking to a woman in a way that made her suspicious, a court in Henan province, central China, was told.
They had arranged to meet the next day at a public bath-house. She filled a plastic pellet with rat poison, hid it under her tongue, and while they were kissing, nudged it into his mouth. Mao failed to notice it, swallowed it and died shortly afterwards.
Rat poison is one of the common methods of murder and suicide in China, so much so that one variety, "dushuqiang" was banned three years ago. In one case, a widow used it to kill 10 guests, with whom she had been engaged in a feud, at her husbands funeral banquet.
Despite the crackdown, however, besides Xin Xinfeng, a couple from Yunnan province, Chen Lihua and Huang Jianxiao, were also sentenced to death this week, suspended for two years, for lacing their respective spouses dinners with rat poison.

What Are the Requirements for a Licensed Practical Nurse
HUMAN ANATOMY:
If you are considering studying to become a Licensed Practical Nurse then you first need to know what the LPN requirements are. An LPN takes care of the injured, disabled, sick, and convalescent patients and works under the direct supervision of a physician or a Registered Nurse. LPNs can also supervise Nursing Assistants or Nurses Aides. The care that is offered by an LPN is more complicated and involved than what a NA does but not as medical as what an RN is qualified to do.
What Are the Requirements for a Licensed Practical Nurse?
The LPN education requirements differ slightly from state to state, but in general the minimum requirements are a high school diploma or equivalent (GED). Most colleges or vocational schools also require that you have the following prior to submitting an application: Developmental Psychology, English composition, Math, human anatomy & physiology, human anatomy & physiology II, and microbiology. Another of the LPN requirements is that you are at least 18 years of age. Some institutions also require that applicants are endorsed by two professionals such as professors, principals, guidance counselors or employers, in terms of general personality traits. A drug and criminal background check will also be done.
When applying to study to become and LPN you will be required have at least a 2.5 GPA in the above courses and a "C" or better in maths. The LPN requirements mean that you will have to produce official transcripts of your school. If your Academic Skills Assessment Program scores are below those required you may be required to complete a developmental courses in English and math. Good scores in the LPN education requirements are very important as most colleges do not have a lot of openings on their courses and admission is more often than not based on the cumulative score you get from the Math, Reading, Writing, and Science admission tests, related courses you took in high school or college, work experience and location and any post secondary degree or diploma you may have.
The LPN requirements remain the same whether you do a LPN Degree Training Program at a community college or vocational school or an LPN Degree Course at a nursing college. The training programs generally take twelve months and can often be done online. If you do one of the programs ensure that the program is approved or accredited by your states Board of Nursing. Training done at nursing colleges generally takes between twelve and twenty-four months to complete and include hands-on training at a community hospital or health care facility. These courses also include medical surgical nursing, medical calculation, psychiatric nursing, pediatric nursing, nutrition, physiology, CPR and anatomy.
After completing your course you will have fulfilled all of the LPN education requirements, but completing the course is only the first step. One of the main LPN requirements that you have to comply with before you will be able to practice as a Licensed Practical Nurse is obtaining licensure. This can be done by passing a certificate exam called NCLEX-PN which is a computer based multi choice exam containing between 150 to 200 questions.

A Brief Look At Human Physiology
HUMAN ANATOMY:
We all know that the human body consists of things like tissue, organs, cells, skin, and bones. The scientific name for the study of what the body is made up of is called anatomy.
A Brief Look At Human Physiology
The study of anatomy, however, is not and cannot be as dynamic as the life science study of how the human body actually works and how the parts of the body behave and interact with each other. This science is called human physiology.
The bodys organization
The body is organized on four different levels:
- Chemical - at the very smallest and base level, the body consists of atoms and molecules
- Cellular- on the next level, the atoms and molecules make up cells. Cells are the bodys base level structure. The body consists of various kinds of cells which include: white and red blood cells; fat cells; muscle cells and nerve cells
- Tissue - The body contains just 4 tissue types: muscle; nervous; epithelial; and connective tissue. Tissue consists of cell groups & the surrounding matter which both function together to do a specific job.
- Organ- an organ consists of 2 or more kinds of tissue. Organs have specific shapes and perform different individual functions. The liver, for example, is a vital organ responsible for many things including detoxifying the body and producing biochemicals, called bile, to help digestion. The liver consists of nervous, connective and muscle tissue.
The bodys systems
The body is made up of ten different systems which work together to make the body function. These systems are: Endocrine system; Nervous system; Circulatory system; GastroIntestinal system; Integumentary system; Respiratory system; Urinary system; Reproductive system; Musculoskeletal system; Immune system.
The way in which the bodys systems work and interact with each other is called integration. Many systems, whilst they have their own specific function, work in parallel with other systems to ensure the body works as it should.
The way in which the bodys systems talk to each other is called communication. It is vital that all parts of the body know whats going on in other parts of the body so that optimum performance can be achieved.
When everything is working well in the body and it is operating efficiently and normally, it is said to be in a state of homeostasis. However, this balance is a delicate one and many things can go wrong with the body - be it for external or internal reasons. The body then reacts to try and correct the balance using its various systems but it cannot always achieve this. This is where modern day medicine steps in to try and fix what the body itself cannot.
The study of human physiology and anatomy has been around for over 2000 years. The research by pioneers such as Aristotle and Hippocrates was quite basic but kicked off the more complex life science study we know today. Modern day human physiology however gives us the knowledge to learn more about how our bodies work thus helping all of us to live longer and healthier lives.

*****By O. Brown
This book is sweet, poignant, and beautiful. It is also gut-wrenchingly honest and realistic about the authors attempts to cope with her life after her husband has a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). He gets hit by a car while walking their dog and their lives are never the same. This memoir is about the authors life and marriage after the accident and for the next five years, until the present day. I loved reading it. I havent really ever read a book like it.
The author builds herself a life, accompanied by what ends up being three dogs altogether. She still takes joy in her marriage, such as it is. I wish I could put into words how beautiful this book is, but I cant. It is a lovely book with mature topics (grieving, survivor guilt, etc.) for adults or especially mature teens. Highest recommendations.

HALL OF FAME TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE VOICE
This memoir managed to be both incredibly sad and yet positive and life-affirming at the same time. Abigail Thomas describes the journey she must take in the years after her husbands accident and how she manages to progress from inner turmoil (and at times, the inability to function at all), to a place where she is at peace with her life. Though her husband must remain at a hospital for brain-injured patients, she is able to bring him home for visits and spends time with him at the center. The comments and thoughts from his head are so fascinating...I found myself eagerly waiting to see what he would say the next time. Just wondering about the brain and all that we dont know about it is truly amazing to me. Sometimes he makes pronouncements that appear so profound, and other times he seems in total confusion, and while its incredibly heartbreaking, its also mesmerizing to read their conversations together.By Gillian B. Cieri
As for Thomas relationship with her three dogs, she describes it beautifully. I would think any dog owner, as I am, can relate to the description of bed-crowding and jostling for the most attention, but mainly to the bond that forms between human and animal.

Please Wait...A Brief record of the Eleven Major Organ Systems in the Body and Their Main Function
HUMAN BODY ANATOMY ORGANS :
The eleven major organ systems, and brief descriptions of their functions, are as follows:
A Brief record of the Eleven Major Organ Systems in the Body and Their Main Function
1. Integumentary - This law includes the skin and its appendages (hair, nails, and specialized sweat- and oil-producing glands). Its traditional function is protection. For example, the skin protects the basal tissue from invasion by harmful bacteria, bars entry of most chemicals, and minimizes the chances of mechanical injury to basal structures.
2. Skeletal - The skeletal law includes bones and related tissues such as cartilage and ligaments, which furnish the body with a rigid framework for maintain and protection. The skeletal law also makes potential the movements of body parts.
3. Muscular - The muscular system, consisting of the private skeletal muscles, makes movement potential and generates the heat required for maintaining a constant core body temperature. Voluntary muscles are so called because their contractions are under known control. Involuntary or flat muscle tissue is found in blood vessel walls, other tubular structures and in the lining of hollow organs such as the stomach and small intestine. Cardiac muscle is the specialized muscle tissue of the heart.
4. Nervous - The nervous law is composed of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The nervous law makes potential communication between body functions, integration and control of body functions, and recognition of sensory stimuli.
5. Endocrine - The endocrine law is composed of specialized glands that secrete chemicals known as hormones directly into the blood. The organs of the endocrine law are sometimes called ductless glands. The endocrine law is similar to the nervous law in that it also provides communication, integration and control, but it does it in a slower and longer-lasting way by hormone secretion. Hormones are also the main regulators of metabolism, pregnancy and other body activities. They play foremost roles in fluid and electrolyte balance, acid-base equilibrium and power metabolism.
6. Cardiovascular (Circulatory) - The cardiovascular law includes the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries. The traditional function of this law is transportation. communication needs comprise continuous movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide, nutrients, hormones, and other foremost substances. This law also helps regulate body temperature by distributing heat throughout the body and by assisting in retaining or releasing heat from the body by regulating blood flow near the body surface. Specialized cells of the circulatory law can also come to be complicated in immunity.
7. Lymphatic - The lymphatic law is composed of lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels and specialized lymphatic organs such as the tonsils, thymus and spleen. The lymph law moves fluids and inevitable large molecules from the tissue spaces around the cells and moves fat-related nutrients from the digestive tract back to the blood. It also plays a role in the functioning of the immune system, which is the defense mechanism of the body against disease.
8. Respiratory - The respiratory law includes the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. Its traditional function is to permit the movement of air into the alveoli, which are the tiny thin-walled sacs of the lungs. In these sacs, oxygen from the air is exchanged for carbon dioxide, a waste product, which is then carried to the lungs by the blood so that it can be eliminated from the body. The respiratory law is also complicated in regulating the acid-base equilibrium of the body.
9. Digestive - The digestive law is composed of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anal canal (primary organs), as well as the teeth, salivary glands, tongue, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and appendix (secondary organs). All of the organs of the digestive law work together to ensure proper digestion and absorption of nutrients.
10. Urinary - The urinary law includes kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. The traditional function of this law is the elimination of waste from the body. Other organs of the body are also complicated in the elimination of body wastes, such as the lungs and skin.
11. Reproductive (consisting of a male subdivision and a female subdivision) - The pregnancy law is composed of gonads (testes), vas deferens, prostate, penis and scrotum in the male, and gonads (ovaries), uterus, fallopian tubes, vagina and mammary glands in the female. The purpose of this law is the procreation of life, insuring survival of humankind.

A general Kidney Size
HUMAN BODY ANATOMY ORGANS :
It is usual for doctors to speculate that you understand the underlying buildings of the kidneys. When arguing the outcomes of positive radiology tests (for instance ultrasounds and Cts), it is likely that they will what is wrong but not needed what is normal. Lacking understanding what is normal, it is difficult to identify the value of how something is abnormal.
A general Kidney Size
Kidney size is not influenced by body shape. The kidneys compose at the same rate that the whole body develops, until corporeal growth stops at about 25-26. It is at this occasion that internal organs get to their final dimensions.
The mean dimensions of the kidneys upon maturation are: length-about 12cm, breadth-about 6cm and thickness-about 3cm. The weight of one kidney averages about 120-150 g. Any decrease in size is abnormal. Expanding the size of a kidney is normal naturally in conditions when one kidney is removed and the remaining kidney expands to bonus for the functional absence of the first.
Even if rather simple, the human kidney anatomy enables it to run nothing else but involved but vital functions. If any region of the kidney is injured or becomes diseased, this can considerably have an effect on its quality to run these functions.
A normal kidney is the size of a human fist. In spite of this, with the attendance of Pkd, cysts grow in both kidneys. There might be naturally a few cysts or many, and the cysts can vary in size from a pinhead to the size of a grapefruit. Once a lot of cysts grow, the kidneys can compose to be the size of a football or bigger and weigh as much as 38 pounds each.
It has been assumed from autopsy studies that variants in kidney dimensions and kidney weight are related to gender, with weight being higher in males. In addition, it is identified that the left kidney is larger than the right one, independent of gender. A decrease of up to 40% in kidney weight happens over the years, nearly totally due to parenchymal decrease, lesser to decrease in blood supply. The kidney dimensions differ in positive ethnic populations as well.
The effect of hyperechoic renal cortex with emphasis of the corticomedullary intersections is usual of the normal sonographic coming of the kidney of a premature newborn. Keep in mind that the normal size of the kidneys ought to not exceed 4 to 5 cm in a perfect term newborn, pointing out that there is nothing else but compensatory hypertrophy in this premature newborn, not unforeseen with a contralateral nonfunctioning kidney unit.
