A nice home for a tiny little flock... such houses flash up if sister and brother dwarfs work together uncomprimisingly, willingly and well organised under the provision of talented construction dwarfs for the higher purpose of a heavenly reward....... looks nice .. but why dont the houses in G.B. have painted walls, painted large paradise images outside on the walls, wouldnt it be nice for children and attract one, it would be the only coloured house? Would be creative..only an idea.
Hey there I know its because of the Grey auld town! A little grey is fashion. Every house seems to be grey there and has some stones. I should visit this town next time I visit the Westmorland and taste the famous Mint Cake. Which dialect is spoken there?
And where will you dwarfs meet when you once cant afford the monthly taxes to the dwarf-society?

Thats a challenge for software-sustainabilty and rocket engineers. Perhaps Schiaparelli was missing a 2 or 3 fold parallel signalling and control systems which could have done a countercheck like in navigation systems, but if the rocket braked only a second emergency parachute could have spared it from that crashlanding.
Let us hope that soon Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX Solarcity, PayPal & Openal) will set his ITS Interplenatary transport system in motion.
....and Schiaparelli RIP... later generations will visit your landing place, you had pioneer-spirit

Do Orthodox Jews reject blood transfusions ? because of the scriptures, they strictly believe ?
by smiddy inthis thought occured to me that orthodox jews take the bible/old testament scriptures very seriously regarding the blood issue raised in scripture .. and this is certainly borne out in regard to the bleeding of animals before eating them ,kosher food.. the orthodox jews are far more stricter than jehovah`s witnesses in this application / interpretation of scripture ,and i am curious as to how they interpret and understand these scriptures.. how do they view blood transfusions in the medical world.?.
and is it only the orthodox jews that are expected to only eat kosher food ?
how about the ordinary believing jew with their religion.do they also only eat kosher food ?

http://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/45495/if-consuming-blood-is-prohibited-can-jews-accept-blood-transfusions
It therefore follows that if a Jew is in need of blood and one refuses to give, he is in violation of “lo sa’amod al dam re’echa” (Shearim Metzuyanim B’halacha 190)

If we could save one J.W. life with those explanations, it would be fine, but where shall one launch into?

Hemosep - blood recycling system
by TheWonderofYou inhemosep – blood recycling system.

I'm just learning the basics and make a clue of it. Hemosep is a blood management procedure.
Hemosep is a device that successfully broke in the market of blood salvage
- BLOOD SALVAGE/CELL SALVAGE TOP
- Blood and tissue that enters the surgical field or wound is collected, separated, cleaned, and the red cells are returned to the patient.
- Post-operatively: Before the surgery is completed, a drain is inserted to salvage blood from the surgical site. In the patient's room, the blood continuing to drain from the surgical site can be filtered and returned to the patient.
Hemopur however was the brandname of an abortive attempt to produce a hemodilution from animal blood. Hemodilution is also a blood-management-procedure.
- HEMODILUTION (ACUTE NORMOVOLEMIC HEMODILUTION, ANH) TOP
- A predetermined amount of whole blood (calculated prior to surgery, based on expected blood loss and the patient's data) is withdrawn from the patient at the beginning of surgery and held in a reservoir in the operating room; can be kept constantly connected to the patient if required. The volume drawn off for reserve is replaced with a substitute, non-blood solution so that any blood loss during the surgery is reduced due to the dilution.
- The reserved blood may be used to supplement the patient's blood volume during the procedure as needed or returned to the patient at the end of the surgery as the substitute solution is eliminated
- The reserved blood must be returned within 8 hours or be discarded.

This product developped for J.W. did not have Jehovahs blessing. After it lost Jehovahs blessing the company went in bankrupcty. But the new device Hemopur has Jehovahs blessing.
