![]() “Thanks,” he says, sheepishly, and kneels again in front of her, fingers gently encircling her wrist. “You can do me too,” she says, and the kid lights up. I’m racking my brain for an excuse not to when the girl next to me, a Bethel student who is coincidentally wearing a brace on her wrist, offers her arm up to him. He begins to softly intone a prayer: Lord, please bring healing to her knee. Still smiling, he kneels in front of me and lays his hands on my knee, fingers on the gap in my brace where my kneecap is visible. “Sure,” I say, because there’s not really another answer in this kind of situation. He’s looking, pointedly, at my right knee, which is at the moment bound in a thick and very noticeable black brace. “Would you mind if I prayed for healing?” “Excuse me,” he says, and tells me his name. ![]() I’m sitting on the edge of the room, notebook in my lap, when a thin, sandy-haired young man comes up to me with a wide smile. ![]() They have already begun, tentatively, to learn Bethel’s other trade: faith healing. So far, Bethel’s first-years have been learning the stories of their predecessors, ancient Old Testament prophets like Daniel and Jeremiah and Ezekiel, in preparation for today - the day they begin to become prophets themselves. To Bethel students, learning, seeing, and performing these “signs and wonders” - be it prophesying about things to come or healing the incurable - aren’t just quirks or side projects of Christianity. In the modern day, prophets and healers don’t just walk among us, they are us. The basic theological premise of the School of Supernatural Ministry is this: that the miracles of biblical times - the parted seas and burning bushes and water into wine - did not end in biblical times, and the miracle workers did not die out with Jesus’s earliest disciples. (“Name the five things that distinguish a false prophet from a true prophet.” “What is the difference between a vision and a trance?”) The students are waiting for today’s lecturer, Kris Vallotton, one of the school’s founders and a prophet so prolific he literally wrote the book on it - Basic Training for the Prophetic Ministry, a combined textbook and workbook used by Bethel students to learn how to hear, and speak, God’s words. It’s a strange medley for a place like Redding, an economically depressed rural outpost about 200 miles north of San Francisco, in the heart of Northern California’s Trump country. There are so many languages spoken here it’s hard to keep track: English of all flavors, spoken with Australian and British and South African accents Chinese Korean Portuguese. The roomful of some 1,200 students hums with expectant energy: People talk in clusters, clutching their books to their chests and stealing eager glances at the stage. The auditorium of the civic center in Redding, California, where first-year students have class, is so full of eager, neatly dressed young people that it’s initially impossible to find a seat.

Onychogryphosis is a classic symptom of canine leishmaniasis. Malassezia pachydermatis and Candida albicans can be isolated from claws of Bull Terriers affected with lethal acrodermatitis (13). ![]() Malassezia perionyxis can be seen in atopic dogs, with a brownish staining of the claw, a greasy exudate in the claw folds and persistent pruritus (12). The author has never made such a diagnosis in a feline. Dermatophytic onyxis appears to be extremely rare in the cat. Other cutaneous lesions should be topically treated simultaneously. Long-term antifungal therapy (griseofulvine, ketoconazole, itraconazole) is necessary until the abnormal part of the nail disappears distally. PAS staining of the nail is mandatory and reveals the invasion of the nail keratin by the fungal hyphae. Skin biopsy and the removal of the third phalanx are unnecessary. Diagnosis is made by Wood's light examination which may reveal the fluorescence of the hair of the digit involved, direct examination and fungal culture of this hair, and histopathology of the nail itself. Alopecia of the corresponding digit is often observed. In Aquitaine, Microsporum gypseum and Microsporum canis have been found to be the dermatophytes which most frequently cause fungal onyxis. Therapy appropriate to the causal pododermatitis will cure the nail problem if carried out for long enough.ĭermatophytic onyxis is a rare cause of onyxis and perionyxis in the dog, usually with one or a few digits being affected. Perionyxis is a prominent feature in such cases. Good examples are interdigital pyodermas due to demodicosis and allergic skin diseases. Bacterial pododermatitis, whatever the cause, often leads to bacterial onyxis. In all cases, and particularly in chronically relapsing ones, an underlying disease should be suspected and, if found, treated. ![]() Months of careful therapy are needed, until the distal abnormal part of the nail has disappeared. and Gram negative rods often being cultured). Treatment must be based on the removal of broken nails, topical antibacterial therapy and long term systemic antibiotic therapy (based on bacterial cultures and sensitivity testing, Staphylococcus sp. ![]() Diagnosis is made by cytology-which reveals a bacterial pus (degenerated neutrophils, phagocytosis), bacteriology and the response to therapy. Perionyxis, onychoschisis, onychorrhexis and onychomadesis are usually seen on several nails, with pain as the primary complaint. In the dog, it may be idiopathic or secondary to an underlying disease (such as hypothyroidism, or even Cushing's disease). In the latter, it is usually associated with an immunodeficient state (FeLV and/or FIV infection, diabetes mellitus etc.). If this is done a few days after the fracture, systemic antibiotics should be used for a week to prevent secondary bacterial infection.īacterial onyxis exists in the dog but is much rarer in the cat. A bandage is then applied for a few hours. Therapy consists in promptly removing the distal part of the nail with forceps. The nail is more or less distally broken and pain is usually observed. It usually affects only one nail, in particular the thumbnails (digit 1) on the hind legs. Traumatic onyxis is a very common disease in the dog. This shall be based on history, physical examination and complementary diagnostic aids, including biopsy by amputation or without onychectomy (11).Ĭonsideration of particular diseases (1-4,9) However neither pruritus nor pain will be noticeable in many cases such as onychogryphosis. Pruritus is rarely observed in nail diseases. Trachyonychia is a nail disorder in humans characterized by lustreless, longitudinally ridged and rough-surfaced nail plates. Onychoclasis is the fracture of the claw. Onychomadesis is the sloughing process of nails. It appears to be elongated and distorted. Onychogryphosis is a deformation of the claw. Onychorrhexis is the breaking of a nail which has become brittle. Onychoschisis means fissuration (splitting) of the nail. Perionyxis is the inflammation of the nail fold. It may affect only one nail or be multiple depending on the cause. It can be proximal, distal or it may involve all the nail. Onyxis is by definition the disease of the abnormal looking nail. Anatomy of the canine claw unit has been well described (1,8,9,10). Nail disorders are relatively rare in companion animals, particularly in comparison with nail disorders in man (1-6), which are numerous and related to various causes (7).
![]() Is there any support for me when using the BLEND tool? Yes! Our BLEND conversion tools will run on any system with a modern web browser. Can I convert my BLEND on Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS? Yes, of course it is! Your BLEND, once converted is deleted 1 hour after upload and the download link will expire after this time. Once your BLEND file has been uploaded and we know the file format you wish to convert it to our bespoke conversion software will convert your BLEND and make it available for you to download with a unique download Url. What does the BLEND conversion process involve? We aim to process all BLEND conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds however this can be longer for certain files and significantly longer for some larger file formats, so please be patient. How long does it take to convert my BLEND? We do not impose any conversion limits on our BLEND conversion tools. No, you can convert as many files as you wish. Are there any BLEND conversion usage limits? Yes! Our BLEND conversion tools are 100% free to use. Is it free to use the BLEND conversion tools? If your BLEND model contains textures or references to external texture files, these will be ignored. No, due to the different methods of assigning textures to a 3D model textures are not currently supported. Are textures supported in the BLEND conversion? Any color materials contained within the 3D model file will be converted where possible. Our BLEND conversion tool can convert most 3D geometry including mesh vertices and faces with no loss of detail. Our BLEND converter can both convert from and to BLEND files and our developers are working to improve our BLEND conversion tools in future versions.When converting 3D Model/Mesh files using our BLEND converter we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file. Overall, the BLEND file format plays a crucial role in facilitating the creation, management, and exchange of 3D content within the Blender community and beyond. Additionally, Blender offers the option to compress BLEND files, reducing their size for easier sharing and storage. Since Blender is a cross-platform software, BLEND files are compatible with different operating systems, ensuring that projects can be easily transferred and worked on across various environments. The format's flexibility allows users to share their projects with others and collaborate on complex 3D projects seamlessly. Blender utilizes a blend of binary and ASCII data to represent these elements, enabling efficient storage and quick access to the vast amount of information that makes up a 3D scene. These data blocks include mesh geometry, object properties, camera settings, and animation keyframes, among others. ![]() Within a BLEND file, various data blocks are organized and stored in a hierarchical manner. When you save your work in Blender, it is typically saved as a BLEND file, preserving the entire scene's information for future editing and rendering. This file format is versatile and supports a wide range of features, including 3D models, textures, materials, animations, lighting setups, and more. It serves as the primary container for all the data related to a 3D scene created in Blender. A BLEND file is a file format used by Blender, a popular open-source 3D computer graphics software. ![]() Before you finish set it to 100% so you can see exactly what your icon will look like and if you can read the words. There’s a zoom feature in Picmonkey in the right. With text, you can deliberately make it unreadable for effect, but if you want people to actually be able to read it be careful what text you use. Play around with what your software offers. Then you’re off – add text, change colours, blur, add overlays (which are shapes or other images that you can put over the top), whatever you like. I usually sharpen to at least 10, but sometimes I use 8 for a softer touch and I generally use 12 when it’s an image of a person. Picmonkey has ‘sharpen’ and ‘clarify’ options to solve this. Shrinking your image will ‘soften’ it though, or in other words make it blurry or less sharp. On Picmonkey there’s a ‘100x100 avatar’ option under ‘crop’ and you can tick a box to ‘scale photo’ which will shrink down whatever area you chose to crop to the right size proportionally. (Pixels are the little squares that make up an image.) Other sites use different dimensions, so check that. If you’re making icons for Livejournal or Dreamwidth you need to crop the image to 100x100 pixels. For other programmes: upload, open file, save, whatever your poison. For Picmonkey: upload your image using ‘Edit Photo’. ![]() You do, however, have to be online for the whole time that you’re using it. It’s free, although if you want special features you now have to pay, and it’s an easy, self-explanatory place. I started out using Picnik, and I now use Picmonkey, which evolved from it. I have GIMP, which you can download for free, although I’m still learning how to use that. Photoshop is the big one I know of, but it costs and I don’t own it.

It’s up to your own conscience and morality *shrugs*. That said, even though I use other people’s screencaps I don’t use screencaps of a film or show that I haven’t bought or intend to buy, so the industry doesn’t lose out on money from me. When it comes to copyright issues I treat icon making (and graphics making) like fanfiction in that these are transformative works and no profit is being made. You can find (most of) the places I’ve used for images on my graphic resources list. If you want images from a film or TV show then you’re looking for ‘screencaps’.

Such intimate contact ensures that oxygen will diffuse from the alveoli into the blood. The alveoli are in direct contact with capillaries of the circulatory system. ![]() The alveoli are thin-walled and look like tiny bubbles within the sacs. At the end of each duct are alveolar sacs, each containing 20 to 30 alveoli. Alveolar ducts are attached to the end of each respiratory bronchiole. The final bronchioles are the respiratory bronchioles. Bronchi are innervated by nerves of both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems that control muscle contraction (parasympathetic) or relaxation (sympathetic) in the bronchi and bronchioles, depending on the nervous system’s cues. ![]() Like the trachea, the bronchus and bronchioles are made of cartilage and smooth muscle. The primary bronchus divides, creating smaller and smaller diameter bronchi until the passages are under 1 mm (.03 in) in diameter when they are called bronchioles as they split and spread through the lung. Air enters the lungs through the primary bronchi. The end of the trachea divides into two bronchi that enter the right and left lung. The mucus catches particles that have been inhaled, and the cilia move the particles toward the pharynx. The trachea is lined with cells that have cilia and secrete mucus. The cartilage provides strength and support to the trachea to keep the passage open. It is made of incomplete rings of cartilage and smooth muscle. The human trachea is a cylinder, about 25 to 30 cm (9.8–11.8 in) long, which sits in front of the esophagus and extends from the pharynx into the chest cavity to the lungs. The main function of the trachea is to funnel the inhaled air to the lungs and the exhaled air back out of the body. Air is also chemically sampled by the sense of smell.įrom the nasal cavity, air passes through the pharynx (throat) and the larynx (voice box) as it makes its way to the trachea ( Figure 11.9). Particulate matter that is floating in the air is removed in the nasal passages by hairs, mucus, and cilia. These processes help equilibrate the air to the body conditions, reducing any damage that cold, dry air can cause. As the air passes through the nasal cavity, the air is warmed to body temperature and humidified by moisture from mucous membranes. The air enters the body through the nasal cavity located just inside the nose ( Figure 11.9). However, it is possible to override this automatic regulation for activities such as speaking, singing and swimming under water.ĭuring inhalation the diaphragm descends creating a negative pressure around the lungs and they begin to inflate, drawing in air from outside the body. How often a breath is taken and how much air is inhaled or exhaled is regulated by the respiratory center in the brain in response to signals it receives about the carbon dioxide content of the blood. Carbon dioxide exits the cells, enters the bloodstream, travels back to the lungs, and is expired out of the body during exhalation.īreathing is both a voluntary and an involuntary event. There, oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide, which is a cellular waste material. The air contains oxygen that crosses the lung tissue, enters the bloodstream, and travels to organs and tissues. That air is doing more than just inflating and deflating the lungs in the chest cavity. With every inhalation, air fills the lungs, and with every exhalation, it rushes back out. This equates to about 900 breaths an hour or 21,600 breaths per day. Humans, when they are not exerting themselves, breathe approximately 15 times per minute on average. Wait several seconds and then let it out. Thus the circulatory and respiratory system, whose function is to obtain oxygen and discharge carbon dioxide, work in tandem. In humans, other mammals, and birds, blood absorbs oxygen and releases carbon dioxide in the lungs. Gas exchange between tissues and the blood is an essential function of the circulatory system. Pressure differences within the system cause the movement of the blood and are created by the pumping of the heart. The medium for transport of gases and other molecules is the blood, which continually circulates through the system. This extensive network supplies the cells, tissues, and organs with oxygen and nutrients, and removes carbon dioxide and waste compounds. The human circulatory system has a complex network of blood vessels that reach all parts of the body.
![]() But, as a response to the gift, God calls us to live in a way that reflects the eternal life we have been granted. We do not have to answer these questions in a certain way in order to have Jesus cross the chasm and grant us eternal life. How can we be lovers of God and God’s people more than lovers of money? That was the challenge in Jesus’s day, and it remains our challenge today. And at the same time, you can be wealthy and not love that wealth to the point that you set a chasm between yourself and others. ![]() You can be middle class and overlook people for the finer things in life. You can be poor and be just as focused on money and love it just as much. And you don’t even need to be rich in order to have the same affliction as the rich man. The problem is his attitude about that money-the position, privilege, and prestige that comes with it. Still, the rich man maintains the chasm between himself and Lazarus. When Abraham informs the rich man that the chasm he has created and maintained between himself and Lazarus is now fixed, the rich man momentarily moves away from worrying only about himself…but only enough to show concern for his five brothers. Lazarus is just a means to relief for the rich man. He knows Lazarus’ name, but doesn’t address him directly. In death, the rich man sees Lazarus with Abraham and asks Abraham to send Lazarus to get him some water. During their lives, dogs had more compassion for Lazarus than did the rich man, The rich man must have seen him regularly at his gate he knew Lazarus’ name. ![]() The rich man’s problem is not that he is rich, but that that he is so self-centered and worried about himself that he sees everything (including people) only in terms of how they can benefit him. This is the chasm between those who have a hard time seeing past themselves and those who go unseen, the chasm between the lovers of money and those who lose their lives as a result. And in the following verse, the Gospel of Luke tells us that the Pharisees, “who were lovers of money” were upset and “they ridiculed him” (Luke 16:14, NRSV).Īnd then in this morning’s pericope, Jesus offers this parable about a chasm-the chasm between the rich man and Lazarus. Right before today’s assigned Gospel reading, Jesus clearly says “you cannot serve God and wealth” (Luke 16:13, NRSV).
