Dedicated
to our wonderful friend
Dr. Bruce Rodgers.
It is an Honor
to recognize the dedication
and sacrifice
to our Nation
of Dr. Rodgers.
He is
a man much to be
admired.
We Love You!
Through all the years,
and all the tears,
somehow,
compassion survives.
It lives
through the pain
and the fear and frustration
of Life,
sometimes without our knowing
all the
LOVE that exists.
“There is no fear in Love.
But perfect Love
drives out fear.”
– 1 John 4:18
There may be
no seeming escape,
trapped within our perpetual youth.
We may simply not see,
that God
counts every tear.
Into
the rising darkness,
Pray to God
to let us
see,
as into the slipstream
of Ultimate
Reality,
we encounter
WE.
In the sheer sweep
of destiny,
we may view our
Divinity,
by the Grace of God,
who answers
our Prayer.
We
are so unaware
of other dimensions,
perceived as they are
from narrowly defined
parameters
of what is,
of what can
be.
The Whole of our Being
is defined
by only me
or we,
illusory as it may
be.
But none of these Worlds
is really
our World.
“As you continue
to send out Love,
the energy returns to you
in a regenerating spiral.
As Love accumulates,
it keeps your system in balance
and Harmony.
Love is the tool.
And more Love
is the end product.”
– Sara Paddison
As we navigate
the tumultuous storms
of Life,
we can perceive
a far deeper,
more synoptical view
of all that transpires.
None of these Worlds is really our World.
Through the
dark,
we CAN see
Love shine.
We CAN
savor, and Love in the delight
of the View,
written
in your eyes,
spoken with your
smiles,
in a World
filled with surprise.
My Dear Friends,
your precious Heart
was never empty.
It has always
been filled with
LOVE,
the abundant Love
of God.
“Come with me;
where we go we don’t need roads,
where we stop nobody knows:
For yesterday’s memories,
today’s Love, and tomorrow’s dreams,
just close your eyes…..”
– Music by Enya, Roma Ryan and Nicky Ryan

We Human Beings
have achieved the truly
remarkable.
Our progress
across a vast Ocean
of ideas,
compounds itself
with every passing day.
But in the vast arc of cognition,
our real accomplishments may arise
from the smallest spark
of Love,
rising from the fiery sea
of Time.
But,
what is perceived
can endanger the Peace
of our fragile
and very Human
Hearts.
Never letting go
is a definition
of existence.
But,
Time will not remain
and the days
of our precious Lives
will never remain
the same.
As our Worlds
collide
into the rising day,
I Pray
that we may
be aware
that our consciousness
has the potential
to change our Worlds,
yours and mine.
For the Soul
can sink into
a rising darkness.
We live in a World
filled with distrust.
Trust must be earned
and seems to be
in short supply.
Solomon,
the King and author of
Proverbs,
knew that trust must be
where we start.
.
“Trust in the LORD
with all your Heart
and lean not
on your own understanding.”
– Proverbs 3:5
And let us never
forget,
God counts every tear.
Goodnight.
Processed meat ‘linked to breast cancer’
By Alex Therrien Health reporter, BBC News
Regularly eating foods like bacon and sausages may raise the risk of breast cancer, according to researchers.
A review of studies found women who ate high levels of processed meat had a 9% increased risk of the cancer compared with those who ate little of it.
The study backs up previous findings of the World Health Organization, which says processed meats cause cancer.
Experts recommend caution about the findings and say the actual risk for individual women is “very small”.
- Processed meats do cause cancer – WHO
- How much of a cancer risk are processed meats?
- Ultra-processed foods ‘linked to cancer’
How reliable are the findings?
This review, which included data on more than a million women, shows a link between processed meat consumption and breast cancer risk, but it’s not clear if the food is actually causing this.
There are also other pitfalls to consider.
The 15 studies used in the analysis had different definitions of the highest consumptions.
For example, one of the UK studies in the review classed high consumption as more than 9g a day – the equivalent of just two or three rashers a week – while in others it was much higher.
The researchers in the majority of these studies noted what people said they ate and followed them up to see which of them developed breast cancer.
But the problem with this is that people who eat different amounts of processed meat may also have other behaviours that might explain the differences in breast cancer risk, such as being more or less healthy in other ways.
What is the risk?
In the UK about 14 out of every 100 women will get breast cancer at some point in their lives.
That means a 9% increase in risk in this population would be expected to translate into roughly one extra case of cancer in every 100 women.
Cancer Research UK estimates that about 23% of breast cancers are preventable.
It estimates that about 8% of cases are caused by being overweight and obese and another 8% by alcohol.
Authors of this study, published in the International Journal of Cancer, say the link they found is only for processed meat, not red meat.
The WHO lists processed meat as carcinogenic, primarily because of evidence linking it to a raised risk of bowel cancer, while it says red meat is “probably carcinogenic”.
What is processed meat?
Processed meat has been modified to either extend its shelf life or change the taste, usually by smoking, curing, or adding salt or preservatives to meat.
This includes bacon, sausages, hot dogs, salami, corned beef, beef jerky and ham.
There are different theories for why it may raise the risk of cancer, including that curing salt may react with protein in the meat to make it carcinogenic.
So should we cut out processed meat?
Lead author Dr Maryam Farvid, of the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health in the US, recommends cutting down on the meat rather than eliminating it.
Currently, the NHS recommends eating no more than 70g of red and processed meat a day.
Dr Gunter Kuhnle, associate professor in nutrition and health at the University of Reading, who was not involved in the study, said it was “questionable” whether people should lower their red and processed meat consumption on the back of this study.
He said the actual risk posed by processed meats was “very small” for the individual and more relevant on a population-wide level.
However, he said the study’s findings should be followed up to investigate the links between processed meat and cancer and see whether the associated risk could be reduced, for example through new food production methods.
