10/29/2019: A sign of the times for America with Biblical references for a nation not aligned with the Lord God of Israel; a.k.a. Jesus.
“Record 67.3 million speak foreign language at home, over 50% in 90 big cities, 59% in Los Angeles.” by Paul Bedard October 29, 2019 10:34 AM Washington Examiner.
Deuteronomy 28:49: The LORD will bring a nation from afar, from the ends of the earth, to swoop down upon you like an eagle–a nation whose language you will not understand,
Jeremiah 15:15: “Behold, I am bringing a nation against you from afar, O house of Israel,” declares the LORD. “It is an enduring nation, it is an ancient nation, A nation whose language you do not know, nor can you understand what they say.
Biblically, this is a curse, not a blessing.
10/28/2019: A skin serum topical application for reducing the bacteria that cause acne was discovered during a 2-year 4-phase study at Loma Linda Medical School. Studies on normal human skin showed a serum formulation that would reduce Cutibacterium acnes. The studies were performed with the purpose of creating a surgical disinfectant.
An United States patent was granted on this science: 9,925,152 Antimicrobials and methods of use thereof for wound healing. March 27, 2018.
This was a continuation of the parent application showing that this original formulation may add another metabolite to protocatechuic acid; 2,4,6 trihydroxybenzaldehyde.
Patent claims were granted in that both metabolites act as broad spectrum antibiotics, plus collagen proliferation (i.e. wrinkle treatment) and reduction in skin scar formation.
As such there would be a serum formulation for skin health: www.a-cosmetic.com

8/23/2019: The Ecco Biom Hybrid has the most comfortable sole to reduce the peak axial load while walking. These are intended for golf. The rubber “spikes” produce a cushioning effect better than other brands.
I went away from them for about a year and now returned with much less discomfort for not only golf, but walking and activities of daily living.
Since my knee arthritis is only medial I also use the green 5 degree medial wedged insoles.

In addition, I replace the Ecco insole with my neutral balance cushion insole for the maximal cushioning effect.
CAUTION: Care must be taken not to catch the “spikes” on edge of stairs or other objects.
8/22/2019: Paying to lend money. Really? Yes, really!
Negative interest bonds introduced in Germany. https://apnews.com/f7eee4d172864885b246da733803ee6e
I do not think this is what the writer of the Bible had in mind when He wrote; “be a lender and not a borrower”. (Deut 15:6)
You may ask, what is this World coming to? The Bible prophesied the answer and we are now seeing the fulfillment in so many ways.

8/21/2019: I am slightly dyslexic and noticed I was telling people I was 68. I got very polite responses so I went with it.
The main celebratory event today is a scheduled clean out of our septic tank at the cottage.
So much for being 86.
8/12/2019: 
I spent some very special time with Tom Izzo at his office last week. Nothing more than sharing life and laughs. Seems like two serious, intense professionals do have fun.
