Which son of Noah did you come from? This is from iASK: The lineage of Italians, according to various historical and biblical interpretations, can be traced back to Japheth, one of Noah's three sons. This connection is primarily established through Japheth's descendants who are associated with regions that later became part of Europe, including Italy. According to www.iAsk.Ai - Ask AI: The Generations of Noah, also known as the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 of the Hebrew Bible, outlines the dispersion of Noah's descendants after the Great Flood.[1] This genealogy lists Noah's three sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—as the progenitors of all human peoples.[1] [2] Japheth's descendants are broadly associated with the peoples of the Aegean Sea, Anatolia, the Caucasus, and Europe.[3] [4] Specifically, the Roman-Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, in his Antiquities of the Jews, connected Japheth's son Javan with the Ionians and all Grecians, and his grandson Tarshish with the Tharsians, whose city Tarsus was in Cilicia.[5] Later interpretations further elaborate on these connections. For instance, some Jewish traditions, as cited in the Aramaic Targum of Pseudo-Jonathan ben Uzziel and elaborated by scholars like Don Isaac Abarbanel, suggest that the descendants of Tarshish eventually settled in Tuscany and Lombardy, contributing to the populations of cities like Florence, Milan, and Venice.[1] [6] In the 7th century AD, Hispano-Roman archbishop and scholar Isidore of Seville, in his encyclopedic work Etymologiae, traced the origins of most European peoples back to Japheth.[4] This assertion was widely adopted and developed by scholars across Europe into the 19th century, reinforcing the idea of Japheth as the progenitor of European nations, including those that would form Italy.[4] While the Bible itself does not explicitly name "Italians" as direct descendants of Japheth, the broader ethnological interpretations and historical traditions consistently link Japheth's lineage to the European continent, thereby encompassing the ancestral lines that would eventually form the Italian people.

John Rupp was Limb Leader in Texas at the end of my stint in the group (1997). While I was having a drumhead trial to expel me, he was on the phone and made the final decision. I was devastated then; but in retrospect, he did me a favor. Prior to that, I interacted with him and his wife on a few occasions. He seemed interested in actually helping people. I bear him no ill will. Angela Priester and her husband, Perry, were my group coordinators at a WAP Advanced Class in Rome City. Again, nice people. George

Some great tunes in this thread, thank you!

You piqued my curiosity. A Hoyer lift is a mechanical patient transfer device that uses a fabric sling to safely lift and move individuals with limited mobility from one surface to another, such as a bed to a wheelchair or toilet. It eliminates the need for caregivers to perform manual lifting, which reduces the risk of injuries for both the patient and the caregiver. The lift operates using a hydraulic or electric-powered mechanism to gently raise and lower the patient, providing secure support during the transfer process George

Gabrielle appears. Again, not likely to have much impact on the US. The disturbance behind Gabrielle seems to have a more southerly trajectory, however. George

A bit off topic: You'd be amazed at how many facilities (hospitals included) don't even have a Hoyer lift. It's like going to a tire store and finding they don't have a lift rack.

Well, the problem isn't necessarily MY insurance but the total insurance of the oncologist's patients to make getting the equipment cost-effective. George

WOW sorry your insurance plan didn't cover it. Did some checking and medicare advantage covers it but depending on what medicare advantage plan you've got, there likely are co-insurance and deductibles to pay. Medigap usually covers everything Medicare doesn't, but in NY that costs about an extra $350 a month with AARP. What I do is wait until I've got a procedure or two, and office visits; then try to schedule as much as I can in one month, then use Medigap during that one month of procedures and Drs visits. Doing in that way it's well worth the extra expense for me....

More Autumn Leaves

Funny you should ask. Apparently, anesthesia is not covered by insurance for the biopsy or the pre-treatment procedure. The oncologist, who performed the latter procedure, said he considered nitrous oxide, but it would cost the patient $300, and he'd pretty much need all of his patients to opt for it to make it cost effective for him to get the setup. I told him I would have quite happily opted for it. He said that they ALL say that, AFTER the procedure. Both the biopsy and the second procedure involve inserting a probe which, among other things, contains a lidocaine injection which is supposed to numb the prostate. Spoiler alert: IT DOESN'T HELP. I've met a number of people who have undergone the radiation treatment and experienced no ill effects (including, interestingly, my oncologist), so I'm hoping the worst is over. George

Coming to NY soon...

Thx George. Am surprised they didn't offer to put you to sleep during it? I think it is available... similar to a colonoscopy or something?

Annual bloodwork. My PSA levels had been slowly rising over the last couple of years. When it got to about 5, I had a biopsy done. (NOT pleasant.) The results showed areas of cancer cells. Further tests showed no metastasis, but my urologist and oncologist started me on the testosterone blocker. I had another procedure a little over a week ago (no need to go into detail here) to prep me for the radiation. It will be five short (~15 min) sessions a week for six weeks. Staying on the T-blocker will allow the remaining cancer cells to die off. George

Of course. George
