![]() ![]() Our spiritual connection, likemindedness and alignment in our ministries was simply divine. We partnered with First Trinity and the Tillmans in 2017 for our annual water distribution and it was nothing less than love at first sight. You may have heard of First Trinity for their recent partnership with Jaden Smith and his company 501CTHREE, but Pastor Ezra and First Lady Catrina Tillman have been serving AND advocating for the Flint family at the very beginning of the crisis–long before folks outside of the Flint community learned about this act of environmental racism. We were first introduced to First Trinity Missionary Baptist Church by another member of our black tribe Tavares Taylor, Founder & Executive Director of Tavares Taylor Charities. Let’s go to First Trinity Missionary Baptist Church in Flint, MI. In this walk of servant leadership, I have met some remarkable young, faith leaders. Many black millennials like me are at a crossroads with our sentiments about church.īlack Millennial Faith-based Leaders on The Rise While I definitely don’t go to church every Sunday, those same values around service leadership and activism still live inside my heart and soul. However, my ministry through Black Millennials 4 Flint has really helped me to connect more with those fond memories. It was the “saints” that first introduced me to homophobia/transphobia, fat shaming and definitely an abundance of patriarchy. While we may have fond memories of church, we still have a lot of “church hurt”. So please don’t stop reading! Many black millennials like me are at a crossroads with our sentiments about church. Now, this piece is not meant to paint the black church as the model of perfection…we all fall short from the glory of God. It was also at Pilgrim Rest where I learned about the transatlantic slave trade and watched Roots for the first time in “Children’s Church”…now that’s what gave birth to my unapologetically black activism (along with my blickity black parents). Pilgrim Rest, like many black churches was woke before woke. ![]() where I fell in love with service…or as the church folk say, the ministries. It was at Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church in the heart of South Memphis under the leadership of the late, great Dr. As a black woman born and raised in Memphis, TN known for good barbecue, good music and LOTS of churches, I definitely have strong roots in the black church. ![]()

In this case Grid rule 202.13 would result in a finding of not disabled. Grid rule 202.06 would result in a finding of disabled.Įxample 2: Same as Example 1 except that Tom is age 53. Tom has a bad back that limits him to light work. His past work was mostly as a janitorial cleaner in a warehouse. ![]() At age 55, that same claimant grids disabled at the. Here are some examples of how the grid rules work:Įxample 1: Tom is a 56 old male with a high school education. The SSA presumes that the transition to unskilled sedentary work is too difficult for these claimants. You will have an easier time fitting into the grid rules: ![]() You can look at the grid rule tables on the web site. the nature of your impairment – must be a physical impairment When we decide whether you are disabled under 416.920 (g) (1), we will consider your chronological age in combination with your residual functional capacity, education, and work experience. When an individual is not engaging in substantial gainful activity and a determination or decision cannot be made on the basis of medical factors alone (i.e., when the impairment is severe because it has more than a minimal effect on the ability to do basic work activities yet does not meet or equal in severity the requirements of any impai.your maximum exertional capacity (sedentary, light, or medium).the skill level of your past work – unskilled, semi-skilled or skilled.your education – illiterate, high school grad or less, high school grad or more.The grid rules (also called the medical-vocational guidelines) look at four factors: Social Security’s grid rules reflect SSA’s understanding that older, less educated and less skilled workers would have a much more difficult time than a younger workers finding an entry-level job. These rules are called the “grid” rules because they are arranged in a spreadsheet like grid when printed out. The grid rules only apply to disability claimants age 50 or over, and they only apply if you have physical limitations, but if you meet of these rules, you can win disability benefits even if you have some capacity to work. A less known but powerful way to win Social Security disability benefits is to fit within one of the grid rules. ![]() ![]() Inspection of the patient and his or her respiratory effortsģ. A popular pneumonic to re- member this process is PIPPA:Ģ. Respiratory exams comprise 5 parts, with auscultation being the final com- ponent. A pleural rub can be localized to a specific area of the lung. It is often mistaken for a coarse crackle and occurs when the pleural lining is inflamed and has a deficit of lubrication such as in pneu- monia, pleurisy, or pulmonary embo- lism. Some describe the sound as being similar to walking over fresh snow. Pleural rubis a harsh, high-pitched sound, such as that which occurs when opposing surfaces are being moved against one another. Stridor is louder on inspiration than expiration and much louder than wheezing. It tends to occur when the upper airways are narrowed to 5 mm or less and is associated with any condition that leads to narrowing of the extra-thoracic airway. Stridoris a high-pitched, unremitting sound heard over the trachea. Typically, rhonchi are cleared when a patient coughs. They are associated with the presence of secretions, whether increased production or reduced clearance. Rhonchiare low-pitched, continuous, rattling breath sounds that often sound like snoring. Regardless of the diagnosis, research has been unable to link disease severity with the quantity of crackles heard on exam. Conditions associated with crackles include cardiac disease, fibrotic lung disease, COPD, and pneumonia. Whereas the sudden opening of closed airways triggers a fine crackle, a coarse crackle is associated with the presence of secretions. A fine crackle has an increased frequency rate and quicker duration than a course crackle. These sounds are most often heard at the base of the lungs. Crackles can be categorized as coarse or fine and may occur during either, or both, inspiration and expiration. Unlike a wheeze, it is not musical in nature. Of note, healthy patients can often produce a benign wheeze during forced expiration.Ĭrackleis an explosive short sound. Wheezing may be a single sound or a multitude of sounds, and although its presence may be diagnostic for airflow obstruction, its absence does not rule anything out.Ĭonditions associated with wheezing include viral illnesses such as bronchiolitis, croup, and whooping cough asthma chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis pulmonary edema foreign body aspiration or tracheal or laryngeal tumors. The timing of an adventitious sound within the respiratory cycle is a diagnostic identifier and should be noted during an exam. A wheeze may occur during either, or both, of the inspiratory and expiratory phases of the respiratory cycle. The fluctuation of opposing airway walls being tightened nearly to a point of contact generates the sound. Wheezingis often described as a musical note. Because each of these adventitious breath sounds may be present with one or more diagnoses, it is important to make note of the abnormality in context with the patient’s history and clinical exam. Bronchial sounds are best heard over the body of the sternum.Ībnormal breath sounds are often indicators of pathology in the airways and include wheezing, crackle, rhonchi, stridor, and plural rub. Bronchovesicular breath sounds are best heard between the first and second intercostal spaces of the anterior chest. ![]() Tracheal sounds are heard best over the trachea and typically are louder and have a higher pitch than vesicular sounds. In airfilled lungs, vesicular breath sounds are commonly heard over the majority of the lung fields. Normal breath sounds can be heard throughout the lung fields in a healthy patient and are most often classified as 1 of 4 types: vesicular, tracheal, bron- chosvesicular, and bronchial. There is often confusion between breath and voice sounds breath sounds generate in the lungs whereas voice sounds generated in the larynx. During this process, Laënnec invented the stethoscope.īreath sounds are categorized as normal or abnormal and have 3 characteristics: intensity (soft, medium, loud, very loud), pitch (low, medium, high), and duration. René Théophile-Hyacinthe Laënnec established the link between a breath sound and an identifiable pathological change in the lungs. Auscultation, a technique that requires both clinical experience and a good stethoscope, dates back to the early 1800s. “Breath sounds” refer to the movement of air through the respiratory system and can be evaluated through auscultation of the lung fields. ![]() ![]() So that allowed us to take off $400 of the original fare on top of the BCC discount. ![]() Even though the issue was fixed within the hour, and we didn’t complain, we only notified the attendant. This was a little over the top since they were returning to sailing and wanted us to be happy. The partition door to the IV came off the track, so Celebrity gave us each a $200 future cruise credit. We also sailed on the Edge in July 2021 on their second sailing after the return to sailing. Thanks to Kaleb’s poker habit (he is by no means a high roller, poker games just take a long time), we scored a little over a 30% discount on the all-inclusive fare. First, we booked through the Blue Chip Club. We knew we wanted a trip to decompress after grad school, so we moved forward with planning with the promise that this was our Christmas and Birthday gifts to each other for this year.įor total transparency, we paid only $1,513 total to book this cruise. However, I don’t start my “big girl job” until August, and Kaleb is still interviewing and applying for jobs. ![]() We’re paid on our measly graduate student stipends through the summer (though I am thankful for any stipend). So why are we traveling on a budget, and what does that mean for this trip? We just graduated with our PhDs and are in a weird limbo stage. I’ll go ahead and say (after getting this question many times from friends and family), no, do not expect a proposal on this trip! That was not my favorite cruise experience! Each trip has been with family or friends, so this will be our first vacation just us in the five years we’ve been together. Previously, we’ve also sailed NCL together. The second and third sailing on the Equinox, respectively. ![]() This will be my third Celebrity sailing, the fourth for Kaleb. We are both in our late 20s to early 30s, so a different demographic for Celebrity. My boyfriend (Kaleb) and I will be setting off on this trip. I started this thread a little early because our travel for the trip has already started! First, I’ll give you some background on me, who I’m traveling with, and why I have titled the thread “sailing on a budget.” This will probably be a long first post, and then they’ll get shorter and have more pictures. I am excited because each of these ports is new to me. This is an ABC (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao) sailing. Hi everyone! I will attempt my first live thread for my 8-night sailing on the Equinox. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you want to be the "jump in the middle and explode" type, then it won't work for you. I tend to play mages as sniper types, rather than walk into the middle of the room at let loose a huge spell blast type, so the bow works very well for me. And it is better to have a bow that will finish off a guy who is at 10% health and quickly shoot another guy than to unleash a slow but massive shot on him - power and damage you didn't really need since he's almost dead - and then be unable to fire in time to stop the buddy that's charging up to you or the spellcaster about to let loose on you. They are worth a lot more than slow bows, because if you are being charged by a buncha guys, you need shots NOW, not fantastic shots later. That latter came in very handy even after I got items with good defense stats later, because there is still a big difference between being hit 49% of the time and 33% of the time. This allowed me to build up my strength so I could wear the best armor, and keep my defense high enough that I was VERY often missed. I never put any points into the bow until well into my 30's, either. My mage also picked up a bow and hardly used magic for a good long while. There is plenty of stuff to kill inside and outside the village, and of course the catacombs. maybe level 10 or 11? Can't remember, but at level 5 I had barely touched what that area had to offer. I don't think I crossed the river and permanently left my starting lands until I was. ![]() NOTE: the reason I say "gizmos" and "that guy" is because I don't wanna give stuff away :P but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Open the skills menu and hover over the "drop and use" icon and press anything between F1 and F12 so you can return to safety at the press of a key. To make it easier on yourself, use hotkeys. Anytime you need to heal/sell/store, just drop and use the other piece so you can get back to the one you dropped in the first place. Just drop one gizmo next to a bed with some storage or something and some shops close by and then go on your merry way. If you wanna be a mage, stick with mage skills and only take warrior skills (like repair or enchant) that you need. Now that you have these things, you won't need to waste skillpoints to become a pseudo warrior-mage and thereby killing your specialization in either field. ![]() Then simply pick it up and use it while it's in your inventory so you can take it back. Good Luck!Ī little tip: when that guy gives you the cool gizmo before you go in the catacombs, you should DROP and use it to get the other piece. I think there were five or so quests to do before you go out the main gate, still in the village. It pays to kill a few rats/rabbits and a few other things when you fall down the well and open the statue hatch. I want to believe I've missed something glaringly obvious because I refuse to believe the early game is this poorly designed.Īny tips? Thanks I have just started about ten days ago or so, but have you talked to everyone in town and done all five parts of the catacombs under the village? I think I was a lvl 5 after that. I keep kiting the orcs back to Lord Seth so he can kill them for me, but the farther I go, the more tedious this becomes. I have 2 spells that I can't cast so I'm expected to use my mage as a terrible fighter (still Level 1). and I'm set upon by Orcs who are way too strong for me. Now I'm ready to venture out beyond the gates to find the commander of that garrison. Explored the healer town and finished a couple of the fetch quests. Maclintok: Just started the game as a Mage. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, what works in Miami may not work in downtown Las Vegas which has long had a reputation for doing things their own way. But it would be far from his first reclamation of a rundown hotel. The Gold Spike would be Covin's first project in Nevada. "It would be quite some time before we have to address that." "We would place them where we have room I'm sure," Woolf said. Larry Woolf of the Navegante Group said when that happens, the property's estimated 140 employees would have opportunities at other casinos (are we taking bets?) I don't even want to think where they would put a spa in this place.Ĭovin said the Spike would ultimately get a new management team of his choosing (duh!). For the extra $100 a night for a room, it better be the most comfortable place to stay and the best place to gamble downtown.Ĭovin envisions drastic upgrades to the hotel's approximately 107 rooms, a hipper casino and a minispa at the one-acre property. "It will stay as is until I am ready for the grand reopening," he said.īut according to Covin, the new hotel will bear little resemblance to the current Spike. "I'll probably keep it partially open for awhile," said Covin of the property, which has specials such as $1 for a shot of tequila or can of Tecate beer with salt and lime and $27.50 a night room rates during the week. ![]() He also said he plans to keep the property operating while it undergoes renovation. ![]() In the short-term, Covin said he would retain the management company Navegante Group (because they are doing such a great job?) as managers of the Gold Spike. Has anyone out there stayed in one of his former crack houses turned four-star boutique hotels? Because I would like to give the guy the benefit of the doubt but I have to tell you, it ain't easy. "I think the Gold Spike is perfect for that." "Our specialty is taking crack houses and turning them into four-star boutique hotels," Covin said. But he's already confident the Spike's smoky ambience and grungy reputation won't take the shine off his vision. Gregg Covin, 38, the new owner, plans to visit Las Vegas next week to take a closer look at the Gold Spike (did he buy it sight unseen?). The Las Vegas Review Journal calls it a "dreary hotel" in the headline. Now, if you are like me, you are asking yourself, why would I spend $125 to $150 a night to stay downtown when I can stay at the historic Golden Gate or Golden Nugget or other properties for much less? The developer plans to convert the hotel into a trendy boutique hotel possibly closing as early as September and reopening as an upscale boutique hotel with rooms running $125 to $150 per night. Tamares Las Vegas Properties have confirmed a purchase agreement to sell the sagging downtown Gold Spike hotel to a Miami developer for $15.6 million (yes, you read that right- for the Gold Spike!). It has been announced that the venerable Gold Spike (home to some of Matt and Stinky's best adventures) has been sold. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Though the one pictured says For Metal Bracelet there is no separate version for the alligator-strapped Speedmasters – just flip the booklet and you’ll be good to go. Next up is the Strap Changing booklet (reference 03090967M), which holds instructions on how to exchange the bracelet in favor of one of the other straps included in the package. First is Legendary Moonwatch (reference 03090050M), which tells the story of the use of Omega in space through some cool NASA images. There’s a total of three booklets that come with the Omega Speedmaster Professional. It has a total of four separate compartments 1) to hold the watch, 2) to hold the loupe, 3) to hold the strap change tool, straps, and pushpins, and 4) to hold the final Speedmaster medal. The outer material is some kind of high tech cloth, and it is closed by means of two hooks. The box itself is a work of art and a big change from the simple red boxes of days gone by. Below this box is a small room for two booklets, while behind it are compartments for the warranty card and red Omega instruction manual. The outer box opens up to reveal the proper box with another Speedmaster medal, now in stainless steel. Upon removing the sleeve the first hint of the contents is given by a Speedmaster medal – the first of three. The real party starts with the outer box, which is shielded by a black sleeve. I wouldn’t be surprised though if your AD threw it out – I just included it in this list for the sake of it. The Speedmaster Professional is delivered to your AD in cardboard box 9410.6341, which keeps the outer box from being damaged. Below I’ll walk you through all the bits and pieces that come with the ‘Big Box’ Speedmaster Professional – save for the warranty card and it’s sleeve. ![]() In July of 2014 Omega introduced a new box set to go with the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, in addition to a new bracelet reference. ![]() ![]() ![]() It could be because of the program’s discontinuation or having a security problem or other reason.
