When a co-worker passes away at my job, I always know. My employer sends a global email to all staff members and lists the deceased person in the subject box. If the employee in the subject box isn’t deceased, then it’s usually one of their relatives who has passed away.

You never want to get an email with a name in the subject box because it’s never good. Hopefully, my own name won’t be appearing any time soon.

After receiving a death notice email, some of my co-workers will gather to discuss their memories of the deceased. They may have previously worked together in another department or socialized outside of the job. I always find it fascinating when co-workers express their disbelief about a deceased co-worker. Many of them talk as if we will live forever. They can never envision themselves meeting the grim reaper.

My co-workers discuss what they will do when they retire or how they will spend their golden years. I don’t delve too far into the future because I may not have one. I live daily and try to do everything I can to enjoy it while I am here.

Many Americans fear the topic of death so much they won’t discuss it. This is based on how our society acknowledges death. Americans are typically raised to fear death while other cultures embrace it. For example, American Indians view death as a doorway into another life. Others believe death is the end to all life while others believe in reincarnation.

Although none of us know what happens after we die, we do know that we all eventually die. Our worn out bodies give out and the old ticker just stops ticking.

Former president, Jimmy Carter, once made a great reference to a grave headstone. He said that birth and death dates were irrelevant while the dash between the dates is what is most important. The tiny dash on our headstone is what defines our lives…not a series of empty digits.

When it’s all said and done, what will your dash say about your life?

Dr. Radwan Farag, dean of the Biochemistry Department at Cairo University, conducted a study and discovered that all enzymes in food are destroyed with just 2 seconds of microwave energy. This increases our enzyme deficiency and alters the frequency of the food. Heating food-containing proteins for 10 minutes in the microwave could change the molecular structure of the food, creating a harmful type of protein. Isn’t the price of this convenience too high in the loss of our health?

Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic energy, like radio waves. A microwave oven contains a magnetron, which produces micro wave-length radiation that interacts with the molecules in food. The wave energy from the microwave oven changes the polarity of molecules from positive to negative millions of times every second. The friction produces extreme heat and causes structural damage of the food molecules.

The nutritional value of food decreases up to 60 to 90 percent. Vitamin B12, needed for red blood cell formation, is greatly reduced. Microwave cooking also kills 97 percent of the flavonoids in the food that are some of the body’s nutrient soldiers that fight disease, inflammation, and microbes. Vitamins C & E, essential minerals and enzymes are virtually destroyed. Our cells are left extremely vulnerable to viruses, fungi, and other micro-organisms.

The commercial world would like to hide the truth. An article appeared in the 19th issue of the Journal Franz Weber, which stated, ” the consumption of food cooked in microwave ovens had cancerous effects on the blood. The violent deformations that can occur in the human body when exposed to microwaves are also seen in the food molecules cooked in microwaves. Studies conducted on food thawed, cooked and heated in microwaves showed that many food molecules became carcinogens. The glucoside and galactoside present in frozen foods converted into carcinogenic substances. Plant alkaloids in vegetables were converted in carcinogens. Milk and cereals heated in microwaves also had some of their acids converted into carcinogens.” On the cover of the magazine was a picture of the Grim Reaper holding a microwave oven in one of his hands.

What can we do? We can try to avoid some of it, probably not all of it, and look for ways to protect ourselves. One of these is the use of essential oils, which have been used for centuries for beautifying, healing, and protecting, both physically and spiritually.

The synthetic world of perfumes, soaps, lotions, potions, creams, cosmetics, and the vast food industry have lost the therapeutic qualities of essential oils. In the last decade essential oils have reemerged as viable products for natural healing and wellness from their mysterious past. Universities and laboratories all over the world are conducting studies on essential oils and allopathic medicine is starting to take notice.

With the scientific research being done, it has been discovered that essential oils are one of the highest known sources of antioxidants that can prevent free radical damage. The bio-electric frequencies the essential oils contain are several times greater than herbs and food, making the oils profoundly effective in raising the frequencies of the human body and aiding in the prevention of disease.

Dr. Sabina M. DeVita, in her book, Electromagnetic Pollution, states that because of the high frequency, high oxygenating molecules, fast delivery system to the cells, immune-building, antimicrobial properties, etc., essential oils become a necessary adjunct to protecting ourselves against free radical damage as well as the potential ravages of our electromagnetically polluted environment.

On a majestic carpet it will show

hemoglobin, plasma, a sanguine basalt

magma shine

The coagulant of sinners spilled right there

on the lunar floor

As it is the age of the apocalypse,

a time for Gideon to get up, run away and hide

So praise the grim reaper and give homage to the moon

It is there that the vital speed leaves a secretion

that will leave a viscid spoon

But it is in the thickness of a summer ale that the incubus

will raise a tidy blue goblet

for drinking the orchid wine of a large black petunia

Because it is in the flower of the crescent orbed that the sun

will begin to rub

But ever so gently its ray will penetrate the darkness

that streams through a drunkard’s glassy green eye

The clairvoyance achieves its aim through the shifting of the soil

that sends mystic craters to the brain

But oh how the indentations speak volumes as there are interstellar sinews

The flower will dilate, extend, widen and vibrate until it reproduces in fertile ivy

for it will beat back the sunlight into a velvet lustering sheen

as comfort is an opiate that creates the null and void

Floating in an unseen cloud is the means to travel the anagogical universe

as thoughts seem suspended as they drift onward into distorted time

Yet it is the redolence that brings fragrance to the ovary, the anther and the ovule

So flavor might be inhaled through a nostril and beauty seen by an opulent sphincter

But it is in the absence of light that the blood begins to come,

creating images on the backdrop and texture on the vine

For it is in this ropy, dopey world that the cleavage will be revealed

It might rapture the intentions of a spider or insult the smell

of an overstimulated church mouse

but gather your wits about you and hang on tight,

the hardwood will help you and there might be no better place

than a highly lacquered pew

as there is no substitute for humility when your are surrounded by madmen

while anticipating the coming of the grate

So mince your words and chop them up fine, escalate your spirit and hold tight

to the twine

Forget about Gregory and look upward to calculate the ivory sand

It is on the darkest nights that you will see the blood dripping forward

You will ponder your own mortality as you avoid the imminence of the tenebrous day

Gothic fashion and Gothic dresses have a long story. In our days you may find a huge industry around Gothic style and trends. The Goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era, and has continued to diversify.

Nudist pictures

Free exotic stories

Beautiful women in competition

Beautiful women art

tasteful, yes I try.

I paint them

ponder their pleasures on my canvas.

I worry

fret a lot

go back and forth

model for my own work

worry some more.

I feel evasive about the screams inside me.

Grim reaper artwork sometimes creeps in.

Exotic lap dancing?

Yes I have painted that too.

I sense them

sort out their illusions

as I stand back and observe me.

As I test my own wings

do I sing

or watch my own demise?

I am transfixed on my pleasures

or is it in the lack of them?

Inside someone

other than my own self.

Do I find I am breathing dust

a life lived by another

from their well aroused closets?

Free exotic stories

in exotic lingerie?

Beautiful women do indeed compete.

Nude women line these walls of mine

how do I know them or me?

Or a new insight of my own?

Can I weigh them fairly?

Can I see my own flesh in this tunnel?

Maybe so…

maybe I can feel my own measures.

What is old to them

new to me

and as I stand still

I see

and hear my own birthing cries.

I protest

or is it that I see a chance to know?

These confusions brought to the surface

these tin dwellings

grim reapers to some

these fragile flowers of grace

breathing.

I thought I could preserve in me

that ghost like treasure

I am always trying to define.

I grab my coat and cover my fingers with tape

lest I smell the rain’s been deserted.

Sipping tea in the afternoon

I embrace my corner of this world.

Holding out for elegance

a single leaf from any tree you spy

that sense of miracles

is cradled by a love of beauty.

These naked bodies

of beautiful women

uninhibited song.

Do roses wear calluses?

I thought their petals were fragile.

Maybe by dancing they hardened their glare.

Those eyes on me

my tender Lily

do not shed one single dream of yours.

I will always play host to ships that sail

and feathers that meet the wind

despite what pictures I have taken.

Free exotic stories

Beautiful women in competition.

Beautiful women art

tasteful, yes I try.

I paint them

and then?

I ponder their pleasures on my canvas.

A follow up to this poem,

Nudist pictures and free exotic stories are the subject of the poem above. It is about my struggle of judgment obviously, of my own self in this endeavor and of others upon me. We are all trying to figure out what it is that we can and will allow in our lives, that will indeed define us. I am as human as you. You found this poem because you are seeking out a certain message or even a certain high. Thats not a bad thing. Beautiful women in competition is not always followed by a grim reaper. Being comfortable with our own sexuality is not a bad thing either. Deciding to post nudist pictures, in my case to paint them? Beautiful women art, free exotic stories, yes I guess I am embracing them.

DNA paternity tests have become very accessible to the public leading to thousands of tests now being carried out each year. It used to be the case that paternity tests were usually requested by mothers seeking financial support from reluctant ex-partners, but these days the DNA tests are equally likely to be sought by men who believe their wives or girlfriends may have been unfaithful.

It has been estimated that around 1 in 20 men are unknowingly raising a child who biologically is not their own, although there is no way to verify this figure. Around a third of men undergoing a paternity test find out that the child is not their own. Men seeking paternity tests should bear these statistics and mind and question how they may feel if the results of the test are undesirable. Consider undergoing counselling first to assess whether a DNA test is genuinely the best course of action for your family, in particular the child.

Women seeking paternity tests for the purpose of obtaining financial support from the father will often receive assistance with the cost of the test. For instance, in the UK the alleged father is required to pay the cost of the test but will be given a discounted rate by the Child Support Agency. Should the DNA results show that he is not the father, the cost will be refunded.

Rather than travelling to a clinic to have samples taken for the DNA test, most people prefer to purchase a home DNA test. As well as being more convenient, buying a DNA test online can be much more cost effective. A home DNA test kit will include everything needed to take the sample – often a cotton swab which needs to be wiped around the inner cheek to collect cells. This will then need to be put in the provided packaging and sent to a DNA test laboratory for the results to be analysed. These should be received back in around 3 to 5 working days and will show that either the man is definitely not the father or that there is a 99.99 percent probability that he is.

In the unfortunate event that an unwanted result is received, counselling is usually recommended. The DNA testing laboratory will be able to refer the family to a counselling service or an organisation offering family support.

Errors in paternity tests are extremely rare, but mistakes can happen. For instance, celebrity hairstylist Andre Chreky took the DNA testing company LabCorp to court after test results showed he was the father of the child of a woman he had not had relations with for several years. After a two year legal battle it was concluded that human error had led to an incorrect result. However, the error rate for paternity tests is thought to be less than 1 percent and families can be confident that they are receiving reliable results.

Selecting a Halloween costume is a personal choice. Age and gender are some of the main factors that will determine what type of Halloween costume is best. Different teens like different things so I’ve created a short list of popular Halloween costumes.

Skeleton

Now here’s a Teen classic. Both younger and older teens like the skeleton costume because it’s scary and fun. A typical skeleton costume includes a completely black jumpsuit with painted skeleton bones on it. A wicked looking skeleton mask will complete the outfit. If you want to make a more realistic costume you can find fake bones and attach them to the costume.

Zombie

It seems that zombies have reached the highest level of popularity in the last few years. So, if you choose a zombie costume you will definitely be trendy. Making a zombie costume is quite easy and you can choose many different types of zombie costumes – zombie doctor, zombie road worker, zombie hunter, zombie teacher – the list is endless. All you need is regular clothes that you won’t wear again because you need to make them look dirty and ragged.

Ghost

Nowadays, just wearing a plain white sheet over your body doesn’t quite cut it in the ghostly department. Instead, you’re going to have to be a bit more creative.

A good question to ask yourself is this: What sort of person was your ghost before they died? This will help bring some variety to this often over-done costume. Were they a painter, a chef, a soldier? Even better, you can combine two kinds of creepy costumes. For example, you can be the ghost of a scary clown, or the restless spirit of a machete-wielding maniac. There are lots of possibilities.

The key to turning these characters into ghosts will depend largely on your clothes and your make-up. Go with a ghostly pale appearance. If you find that your outfit is too bright and lively, you might consider getting a pre-made costume of the particular ghost that you’re trying to embody.

Vampire

Nothing scares some people more than the prospect of having to watch Twilight. Trigger these deep-rooted fears of teen vampire novel-based chick flicks by dressing up like Edward Cullen. All you have to do is make your face look slightly too pale and have the same brooding look on your face all the time.

Werewolf

The most important here is the headgear. Create werewolf’s mask or headgear using fur-like material. Give him fierce teeth and sharp eyes. Werewolf’s gloves are designed with claws at the tips. Werewolf wears a checked shirt that is torn at the ends and torn pants as well.

Mummy

Strips of white cloth will be ideal to complete this costume. Dress up in white then wrap the head in a white scarf. Cover the rest of the body in bandage-like white strips of cloth. The body does not have to be carefully or neatly wrapped in the strips of cloth but can be done in a careless manner. Ladies can wear a white dress then cover their bodies, including legs and arms, with strips of white linen or cotton clothes.

In addition, you can also spray some fake blood on them. What is important about the zombie costume is your skin which must look grayish. You should also pay attention to the mouth and use some fake blood around it.

Witch

It is believed that witches come in different forms, but the most famous one is the dark witch. For this costume use a dress that comes in dark colors (black is best). The outfit shouldn’t be tight and fancy.

The other important element is the hat which should be pointy. It is a good idea to add some spider-web around it. If you don’t have long black hair use a wig. Finally, don’t forget the broom which is one of the most important accessories when we talk about witches.

Grim Reaper

The term Grim Reaper for this depiction of death was first used in the middle of the 19th century. Halloween is a holiday in which people usually wear scary costumes and we can agree that there are only a small number of things that are scarier than death itself.

I was not alive to watch boxing greats like Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali, and Joe Frazier, but I was alive to watch the rise and fall of Mike Tyson. My dad was a huge boxing fan and being in the military there were always get together’s on base for every big boxing match one of the first fights I remember seeing was the Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Marvin Hagler in May of 1986. I only remember that fight because there were about 40 grown army soldiers outraged that after Hagler dominated for most of the 12 rounds the decision went to Leonard. I did not understand boxing and didn’t really care until later that year.

On November 22, 1986 me and my two other brothers went with my dad to his friends house to watch an up and coming boxer named Mike Tyson, he was fighting for the WBC title against Trevor Berbick. Before the fight started most of the guys were bragging how Berbick was going to mop the floor with the young Tyson. People had heard about Tyson but not many thought he could win the fight. I remember sitting on the floor in front of the TV with the other kids at the party playing with our G.I Joes waiting for the fight to start.

As they entered the ring to tap gloves and agree on a clean fight, when the cameras did up close shots of the fighters staring at each other Berbick looked like this was going to be a walk in the park. But Tyson had this grim reaper look on his face, and once the fight started Berbick face quickly changed to the expression of a deer in headlights. As Tyson started pounding Berbick with powerful body shots and quick combos it looked like Berbick was in fear of his life. Once the bell rang to signal the end of the first round everybody in the room was saying I cannot believe this kid is taking it to Berbick. As the second round started Tyson just went in for the kill and sent Berbick down to the canvas twice in the second round. Berbick tried to get up three times after the second knock down but there was no use, he didn’t know where he was and almost feel out of the ring.

From that moment on Mike Tyson became not only mine but millions of boxing fans favorite boxer to root for. Tyson was the first boxer to knock out Larry Holmes on his way to win 19 straight fights by knockouts with 12 being in the first round. As his fame began to grow his fighting skills started to go down from lack of proper training. He lost his championship belt to James “Buster” Douglas by a knockout in the tenth round in February of 1990 and his life was never the same after that.

In 1992 he was arrested and sent to prison for three years for sexually assaulting Desiree Washington. Once he was released he went back to boxing, he seem to be back on track until he lost to Evander Holyfield by an 11th round TKO in 1996. When the two fighters met up again for a much anticipated rematch, Tyson did the unthinkable and bit a piece of Holyfield’s ear off while they were tangled together on his way to be disqualified. After that Tyson became a reckless mess he ended up finishing his career with a professional boxing record of 50 wins, 44 knockouts, 6 loses, and 2 no contest.

As kid growing up watching Tyson rise and fall from greatness I wondered how someone so gifted could just throw it all away. Like many people I never really understood the craziness behind him, I just seen him as your normal rising star gone bad. It was not until my early twenty’s that I learned about Tyson harsh childhood. I was shocked to learn that he had been arrested 38 times by the age of thirteen. When he was sixteen his mother died and he was split up from his brother and sister, when he moved in with his boxing trainer Cus D’Amato in upstate New York. If D’Amato did not step in and help Tyson turn his life around he would of most likely been dead by the age of 18. Once Cus died Don King entered his life and forever changed Tyson to the crazy barbaric many people think of him as today.

Now that he is finally retired, Tyson is trying to make amends for all the bad things he did in his life, he knows that he will probably at some point mess up again but he is trying to change that. On May 26, 2009 Tyson’s daughter Exodus passed away from a freak treadmill incident. Tyson was not present when it happened, and still till this day does not want to know the full details of what happened. He knows if he finds out all the details his rage would come out against his ex-wife who was watching her at the time. For most people not knowing what really happened would just eat away at them. For Tyson not knowing is part of his healing process on his way to become a better man and role model for his kids.
