As the grotesque figure stepped closer to Myung-Dae Kwon, his stomach convulsed from the foul stench that enveloped him. The servant of Satan planted himself firmly only a few feet from Myung-Dae Kwon and bellowed with a voice that shook the ground for miles. His putrid breath dropped birds in flight and frogs from the trees to the ground. It laid the tall wheat grass down around the path as far as one could see. At the bank of the Han River, Kim heard the unholy roar of the beast and fell back into the longboat. Peering over the side, he saw the river water dancing (as it does when an alligator sounds its mating call). Kim saw the birds falling from the sky and the frogs dropping into the river and along the shore. He was struck with fear. The repugnant creature spoke to Myung-Dae Kwon with a horrifying voice. "In your cloak you carry a script that belongs to me. Put it in this box, and I will not harm you."

"Three small words as humble and unassuming as my grandmother herself. Short, sweet, and powerful, they were more than a wish. I came to understand these words as a holy petition." This book describes how one woman interrupted a lifetime of struggle and stepped into the freedom for which she was made. When Kim Smith''s grandmother passed away at age 95, she left no inheritance except her loving example and "Enjoy Your Life", her closing words spoken at each parting. Kim''s grief brought desperation, her curiosity sparked a shift, and God''s true nature was fully revealed. Expanding faith fueled a journey of spiritual transfiguration and birthed a desire to promote this powerful three word legacy. The purpose of this book is to do just that.

An estimated 50% of individuals with long-term HIV infection are affected by the onset of progressive neurological and cognitive complications referred to as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). While the molecular mechanisms underlying pathology in HAND remain poorly understood, synaptodendritic damage has emerged as a hallmark of HIV infection of the CNS. This damage is likely mediated by a combination of indirect mechanisms involving the release of inflammatory mediators and viral proteins from infected glial cells, and direct effects mediated by the interaction of neurotoxic viral proteins with neuronal receptors. The neurotoxic HIV envelope glycoprotein gp120 interacts with neuronal receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 to induce the coalescence of lipid raft domains into large, stable platforms-- a proposed mechanism for clustering components of receptor-activated signaling cascades. The interaction of proteins with lipid-raft localized receptors as a mechanism of regulating pathologic signaling has been observed in other neurodegenerative diseases, most notably in Alzheimer''s disease, where amyloid- (Aß) oligomers interact with lipid raft-anchored cellular prion protein PrPC to activate a pathway leading to the formation of cofilin-actin rods-like inclusions (rods) in neuronal processes. Rods have been linked to synaptic dysfunction via sequestration of cofilin and the disruption of vesicular transport resulting from the occlusion of neurites in which they form. Given similarities in neuronal response to gp120 and Aß, we sought to assess the ability of gp120 to induce rods. Here, we report viral envelope protein gp120 induces the formation of cofilin-actin rods in E16 mouse hippocampal neurons via a signaling pathway common to oligomeric, soluble amyloid-ß and inflammatory cytokines. Our studies demonstrate gp120 binding to either chemokine co-receptor CCR5 or CXCR4 is capable of inducing rod formation and signaling through this pathway requires the NADPH oxidase-mediated formation of superoxide (O2-) and the expression of cellular prion protein (PrPC). These results link gp120-mediated oxidative stress formation to the generation rods in a previously undescribed mechanism of early synaptic dysfunction observed in HAND.

What''s Next For Your Nest?In this Unbelievable Freedom Habit Guide, Kim Smith applies her Enjoy-Your-Life philosophy to a specific phase of the journey: the one known as "the empty nest." It''s a transition she knows well, and she lays out a framework for shifting from a past-based perspective to a future-oriented one. The book is organized into three parts: Reframe, Refocus, and Refeather. Each invites the reader to look through a new lens at where they have been and where they are headed.Whether the empty nest phase is something you anticipate in the near future or a milestone from your past, this book offers specific mindset shifts for maximizing the enjoyment of the next chapter of life. This book encourages an honoring of what was and a welcome of what will be. Let''s embrace next!

Kim Smith embarked on a five-year pursuit of her grandmother''s legacy, a search for meaning within the simple words, "Enjoy Your Life." Along the way, she became practically unrecognizable from her former self. Though a significant weight loss was a portion of the process, her inner transformation was what truly amazed her. Being freed from a lifetime of struggle felt like waking up from a coma. She deemed herself the "Poster Girl for Contentment," then retraced her steps to create a roadmap of her habits. This book is that map.Kim believes contentment is a choice, something you actively cultivate. Layering her 5 Poster Girl Habits has created a contentment flow that removed struggle from her life, so she wants to pass the habits on. The aim of this Contentment Creation Guide is to show that contentment is accessible to all. It''s not only for people who are deep and dedicated. It isn''t something that was gifted to some and denied others. Contentment is the result of an intentional daily practice, one that requires no special skills or supplies, and one that can render you unrecognizable, too. Let''s flow.

Peter Simon had decided he was an atheist in high school and rejected his Catholic faith to the sorrow of his devout mother. He''d never reconsidered his decision until his father gives him a DNA ancestry test for his birthday. Shortly before he receives the results, the Vatican notifies him that he is a direct descendant of the apostle Saint Peter. Even if true, that seems unimportant to Peter, merely an accident of birth and nothing more. But as he digs deeper, he discovers that DNA testing is being used to determine the identity of remains discovered by archeologists at sacred sites dating from 2,000 years ago. The results both contradict and confirm Biblical accounts of the creation of Christianity. Peter is challenged to think more deeply about his religious beliefs and who he is as a man.
