Dear American, "I am wounded but I am alive - and I love you." They are real words spoken by a brave Wounded Hero as he called his wife from his hospital bed at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, an overseas hospital operated by the U.S. Army, after being rushed there with life threatening injuries suffered in the War on Terror. As the mother of a Wounded Hero, let me tell you - hearing from your loved one is like a miracle. When my son Alan was being treated for the life-threatening injuries he sustained while defending our nation and our freedom, the nurses said his vital signs actually improved each time he heard our voices on the phone. My name is Rosie Babin. I am a proud U.S. Army veteran, and I lead a nonprofit organization called Help Our Wounded. Most Americans have no idea what an ordeal our Wounded Heroes face. Some even believe that the War on Terror is over, and that our boys and girls are no longer in harm's way ... But that's not true! Nearly 30,000 soldiers are still fighting in the Middle East so we can be free. But the terrorists are using the most brutal, hideous and heartless bombs imaginable. Every mother and father of a soldier knows the daily dangers our children are facing. We pray day and night for their safety. And because uncertainty is like torture, we pray that if should ever be hurt, they will be able to call home and tell us. Calling home should be easy. But every soldier receives a limited allotment of phone time. When their time is gone, the only way they can call home is to pay international collect call rates - just one call home could cost $100 or more! Imagine you were on a hospital bed, your uniform sheared from your body so the doctors could tend to your severe battle injuries. Wouldn't you want to call home? And if it were your son or daughter, grandson or granddaughter, wouldn't you be praying to hear the sound of your loved one's voice, reaching out across the ocean? That's why if you ask any Military Chaplain, soldier or military spouse (over, please) P.O. Box 96361 "Washington, DC 20090 0262 8.5 x 11 '' Ltr/ 4c proc over Blk + pms 286 • Folds in 1/3s with head-out they'll tell you: phone cards are a GODSEND. So as a veteran, a mother and the leader of an organization helping our Wounded Heroes, I must ask you, won't you please do one thing for our Heroes today? Your gift of just $10 can help activate an emergency phone card, and $20 can activate two! Of course, calling home is a prayer answered, but it is not the end. Far from it. In fact, what our Wounded Heroes endure would break your heart. Today more than HALF A MILLION injured and ailing U.S. veterans are on government waiting lists to receive disability claims. Many have waited for months for their claims to be approved some have even waited years. That's long enough for a soldier's family to lose their home, and for the spouse and children to be out on the street. At Help Our Wounded, we provide direct, one-to-one assistance so our Wounded Heroes can cut through the "red tape". I meet with them personally at our military hospitals. I hold their hands, pray with them, and even dial the phone if their hands are bandaged. I'm giving you a prayer card today as your FREE gift. Put it by your bedside or use it as a bookmark in your Bible so that each time you pray, you can join us in this special prayer for our soldiers. And when they need anything at all - whether it's financial help, warm socks, or a soft blanket, I provide it if I possibly can. But I can only help our Wounded Heroes when YOU help. Your donation of $20, $10 or $15 will help us put a phone card directly into the hands of a brave wounded soldier who needs your assistance! Help Our Wounded is a nonprofit organization serving our Wounded Heroes and their families. Our sole mission is to offer he to those who were injured defending our freedom in the War on Terror. Won't you please make a small gift today to help those who fought for America with everything they had to give? God Bless America, and God bless you for giving today. Sincerely, A,/.....,~ J 1 A 7 ~. qJµ_,v \-/v-' 1 k~ Babin Help Our Wounded P.S. My contacts have told me that there are not enough phone cards for our Wounded Heroes. That's why, if you can only do one thing for our soldiers today, won't you please make a tax-deductible gift of $10, $15, $20 or more so we can provide the prepaid international phone cards they need to call home, and help them in every other way we can? P.P.S. One more thing our Wounded Heroes would be grateful for is your prayers. Please place the special prayer card I have enclosed as your FREE gift, "A Prayer for our Soldiers," in any quiet place, and remember the men and women of our Armed Forces when you pray. 0263 1Phone Card: 3_3/8" x 2_1/8"/ 4c proc over Black/ Full Bleeds 0264 Please provide the funds to activate a phone card for a Wounded Hero by returning this card, along with your donation to: Help Our Wounded P.O.

Health experts, including the Surgeon General, recommend getting at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity every week. But responsibilities can make it tough to give yourself a solid half hour or more on an average day. It may be more manageable to fit in micro exercise sessions of 5 to 15 minutes a couple of times (or more) during your day. Here are some effective ways to get moving: 1. Take 10 Grab 10 minutes three times a day to do something physical. The American Council on Exercise recommends this routine: Morning: Start your day with bodyweight exercises such as push-ups, lunges and squats. Afternoon: Enjoy a brisk walk during your break. Evening: Gently stretch for 10 minutes. Include 2. intervals Alternating between moderate- and high-intensity interval workouts can boost cardiovascular health. During a 15-minute walk, speed up for two to three minutes to raise your heart rate, then return to a moderate tempo. Make time for two 15-minute walks every day. Reconsider your 3. commute Can you safely walk or bike to destinations like work, school or the grocery store? If not, snag the spot in the farthest corner of the parking lot, skip the elevator and take the stairs, or walk the shopping cart back to the store after you load your car instead of using the cart corral.

  • The Multiplatform Brand Flows of Heroes
    Selling Across the Spectrum: The Multiplatform Brand Flows of Heroes ERIN GIANNINI, independent scholar ABSTRACT This article examines how the NBC show Heroes and its use of product placement across multiple platforms represented an early response by networks and advertisers to concerns over ad-skipping and alternate viewing platforms by attempting to reconfigure how brand flow operates across multiple platforms. Not only did the series employ ‘second shift aesthetics’ (Caldwell 2003, 135), which represents networks bringing viewer-users back to the programme by ‘further engag[ing] and activat[ing] the text’ (Caldwell 2004, 50), but the products integrated within the text are pulled into the available world of Heroes’ alternative platform’s textual world, particularly Nissan branded cars. As Henry Jenkins writes: ‘Old media are not being displaced. Rather, their framework and structure shifted by the introduction of new technology’ (2006, 3-4). How these products are used within Heroes storylines and its interaction with characters and platform goes beyond simple placement to make the product another character within the show. Further, I examine the way in which Heroes, as a transmedia text, provided many points of entry for viewer-users to interact with it. While an analysis of fan activity is not the focus of this article, it is important to note these possibilities because of the ways in which the promotional apparatus of the network utilized these types of convergences for the series. Yet, in the case of Heroes, this was achieved by suturing new technological abilities of brand extension with an older model of ad- supported television (namely, the single-sponsorship model of early American television), both within the terrestrial television series and across multiple platforms.

In fact, however, he could not write about his experiences in the war--the firebombing of Dresden in particular--for twenty­ three years, after writing five novels. As numerous critics have noted and Vonnegut himself has alluded, the destruction of Dresden was the destruction of Kurt Vonnegut. He went to war with a world view founded on order, stability, and justice, but encountered a world filled with insanity, absurdity, and irrationality.

    British Art Talks podcast Season 1, Episode 1: Cora Gilroy-Ware and Mary Beard, William Etty and the Classical Body This document is an accessible transcript of the podcast audio. Subscribe and listen: https://audioboom.com/posts/7574701-william-etty-and-the-classical-body Anna Reid: Welcome to the first episode of British Art Talks, a new podcast from The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art. I'm Anna Reid, Head of Research at The PMC. To start our summer series, we're focusing on an 1837 painting by William Etty called The Sirens and Ulysses. Working in the early 19th century, Etty produced mythological and literary scenes displaying the female body. At the time, the artist insisted that "to the pure of heart, all things are pure," but his unconventional portrayals of the classical nude, both shocked and captivated audiences. I'm joined now by classicist Mary Beard and art historian Cora Gilroy-Ware, author of The Classical Body in Romantic Britain. Welcome to you both. Mary, could you remind us of the story told in this painting? Mary Beard: [chuckles] Yes, it's a very simple classical story. It originates in Homer's Odyssey. Odysseus is on his way home, trying to get back from the Trojan War to his wife, Penelope in Ithaca, and he has all kinds of distractions, let's say, on the way. One of those distractions is the mythical women, half-fish, half-women known as the Sirens. The Sirens have the most beautiful singing voices. They sit on the shore, and they lure hapless sailors to their death.

    1 March 6, 2021 WholeLife Seventh-day Adventist Church, 2800 N Orange Ave Orlando, FL Things to Remember: Fix Your Eyes on Jesus, Hebrews 12:2; 3:1 / 2 Corinthians 4:18by Andy McDonald What gets your attention gets you. Do you believe this? The axiom that what gets your attention gets you. We like to imagine we can give our attention to two things at once. In my years of counseling while there are plenty of outliers, generally women tend to believe the myth of being able to focus their attention at two places or more at once. Men lag behind in their belief of the myth because by in large men, as a group, tend to live in one box at a time. All of life is compartmentalized, mostly subconsciously, into lots of boxes, each with only one thing in them. In contrast women, as a group, tend to have a big bowl. All the issues in a man’s boxes, plus a few extra in most cases, are all dumped into the woman’s bowl, where every item is connected like strands of spaghetti to every other item in the bowl. This connectedness is what creates a woman’s intuition. That web of connectivity allows rapid connections to be made that many men might never even consider. Mom baked cookies earlier in the afternoon. She’s in a back bedroom and she hears the screen door slam and she knows her son has just returned from school. In a split second her mind connects her earlier baking of cookies that are cooling on the kitchen counter, the house still smells of them, the loud screen door closing, assuming it is her son, she figures he’s hungry, and just as he’s reaching for a cookie she hollers, don’t touch the cookies they are for later.
