The Sinclairs are athletic, wealthy, and beautiful. They are prim and proper, smart, and respected by all. But, they are liars. The novel We Were Liars by E. Lockhart is a shocking and twisted tale about the seemingly perfect Sinclair family who hides their secrets, lies, and flaws behind their tall and handsome builds.
Some believers were still captive to the bondage of their sin because of their erroneous belief. The evidence of their position could be seen by their denial of the truth they first heard and believed. Certainly, if they did not believe the risen Lord for their salvation, then they would still be lost. If Christ never rose from the dead, then their faith was empty and they remained dead in their sin. One or the other is nonsense. Either Christ rose from the dead and the salvation He purchased was absolutely secure or Christ did not rise from the dead and the gospel message was nonsense.

Since June 2020, ACIP has convened 15 public meetings to review data on COVID-19 epidemiology and use of COVID-19 vaccines. The ACIP COVID-19 Vaccines Work Group, comprising experts in infectious diseases, vaccinology, vaccine safety, public health, and ethics, has held weekly meetings since April 2020 to review COVID-19 surveillance data, evidence for vaccine efficacy and safety, and implementation considerations for COVID-19 vaccination programs. After reports of myocarditis, the work group met twice to review clinical trial and postauthorization safety data for myocarditis after receipt of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. The work group also reviewed a benefit-risk assessment of myocarditis events after receipt of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, considering recent epidemiology of COVID-19 and sequelae of COVID-19, including myocarditis and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).** The ACIP COVID-19 Vaccines Safety Technical (VaST) Work Group, comprising independent vaccine safety expert consultants, had also reviewed safety data on myocarditis after receipt of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines at its weekly meetings. The findings from the VaST and the ACIP COVID-19 Vaccines Work Group assessments, including a summary of the data reviewed, were presented to ACIP during its meeting on June 23, 2021.
The benefits (prevention of COVID-19 disease and associated hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths) outweighed the risks (expected myocarditis cases after vaccination) in all populations for which vaccination has been recommended. However, the balance of benefits and risks varied by age and sex because cases of myocarditis were primarily identified among males aged

The main overall difference between the US and the Spanish cohorts was the significantly higher relative abundance of Actinobacteria, specifically of the class Coriobacteriia, in the Spanish cohort (adjacent and tumor tissues) compared to the US cohort (Fig. 4 and Table 2). The most prevalent genera in both cohorts were Bacteroides and Fusobacterium. Both of them were over represented in the US compared to Spain. Additionally, several taxa within the most represented phyla were also significantly (Steel Dwass All Pairs test P Fig. 5, Tables 3 and 4): Actinobacteria (Propionibacterium, Collinsela, and Slackia), Bacteroidetes (Barnesiellaceae, Butyricimonas, Paraprevotella, Prevotella [P = 0.06], and Rikenellaceae [P = 0.052]), Firmicutes (Geobacillus, other Clostridiaceae, Lactobacillus, Coprococcus, Epulopiscium, Oribacterium, Roseburia, Ruminococcaceae, Schwartzia, Selenomonas, and Bulleidia [P = 0.067]), Fusobacteria (Cetobacterium, Leptotrichia, and Fusobacterium), and Proteobacteria (Ralstonia, Bilophila, and Enterobacteriaceae).
Differences in adjacent tissues between cohorts were extensive (Fig. 5 and Table 3). Of interest was the enriched abundance, in the Spanish cohort, of Actinobacteria and Bifidobacterium species in particular, which are considered markers of a healthy microbiome due to their ability to generate lactic acid, which aids food digestion, and act as intermediaries in the generation of butyrate by the gut microbiota.46,47 Similarly, adjacent tissues from the Spanish cohort had higher relative abundances of Lactobacillus species. Conversely, Bacteroides, more abundant in adjacent tissue of the US cohort, are generally related to diets rich in protein and animal fat.35 Interestingly, we noted in both the US and the Spanish cohorts, an increased abundance of Bacteroidetes specifically in rectal tumors. The over representation of Bacteroides in countries were CRC is more prevalent was reported in a seminal paper by Hill et al..48 The authors reported that fecal samples from individuals in Britain and the US, countries with high CRC incidence, had higher counts of Bacteroides and lower counts of Enterococci and other aerobic bacteria compared to samples from individuals from Uganda, South India, and Japan, where the incidence of the disease was low. More recently, a study showed that representation of the enterotoxin gene (bft) from Bacteroides fragilis was detected by PCR in 38% of the isolates from CRC patients, but only in 12% of isolates from the control group.49 The Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides Fragilis (ETBF) produces a toxin that can cause acute diarrhea and chronic inflammation by stimulation of T lymphocytes that produce interleukin 17 (IL-17), and can, ultimately, promote CRC in mice.50 In contrast to the extensive differences in relative abundances of bacterial lineages in adjacent tissues, differences in tumors between cohorts were limited to one Firmicutes genus, Peptostreptococcus (over represented in tumor in the Spanish cohort), and lineages from the phylum Proteobacteria: Eikenella and Caulobacteraceae (over represented in tumor in the US cohort), and Desulfovibrionaceae and Methylobacteriaceae (over represented in tumor in the Spanish cohort). These results correlate with our hypothesis that the specific tumor microenvironment could modulate the tumor microbiome resulting in the selection of similar taxa resistant to conditions of hypoxia, occurring due to the insufficient vascularization, low pH and depletion of glucose and other nutrients.51,52
Fusobacterium has been associated with colorectal tumors and adenomas in several recent studies.27,31,61-65 In the present study, Fusobacterium was significantly over represented in tumor compared to adjacent tissues in the Spanish cohort, while in the US, this phylum was more abundant in both tissues compared to the Spanish cohort, but enriched specifically in tumors in splenic flexure, sigmoid and rectum. More studies are needed to assess the biological significance of these results, which could be related to the ability of these microorganisms to form and maintain biofilms in specific locations of the large intestine as recently shown.66 In addition to Fusobacterium, Campylobacter, Granulicatella, Butyricimonas, and unclassified members of the family Lachnospiraceae were enriched in tumor tissues of the Spanish cohort. However, Blautia and Lachnospira, also of the family Lachnospiraceae, were depleted in tumor tissues. In general there was an overall enrichment of the phylum Firmicutes, specifically the class Clostridia, in the Spanish cohort, which may reflect a higher content of fiber in their diet. Similar observations were previously reported in tumors compared to adjacent tissues,67 and in feces of advanced adenomas68 and CRC patients.69
Finally, in our study, 39 enzymes were differentially represented in the tumors of the Spanish cohort, while 10 were over or under represented in US tumors. Three enzymes were under represented in the adjacent tissues in both cohorts: an urea decarboxylase, involved in the conversion of urea to urea-1-carboxylate in the and arginine and proline metabolism pathway, a transposase from the IS5 family, and a phosphoadenosine phosphosulfate reductase, an oxidoreductase involved in the formation of hydrogen sulfide, a compound that generates free radicals, impairs cytochrome oxidase, suppresses butyrate utilization, and inhibits mucus synthesis and DNA methylation (reviewed in23), which can be generated by sulfure-reducing bacteria from meat, a rich source of dietary sulfur. A cation-transporting P-type ATPase and a methionine-gamma-lyase were over represented in the tumors of the Spanish cohort while a galactose-6-phosphate isomerase, an aminotransferase, and 2 transcriptional regulators (LiaR from the NarL family, and the myo-inositol catabolism operon repressor from the DeoR family of transcriptional regulators) were more abundant in US tumors. The biological significance of these results clearly require further research, although a number of metagenomics studies are beginning to unravel the relationships between CRC and bacterial function.
There is evidence for a lateralization of emotion processing in humans and primates, which has been marshaled under two distinct theories. One theory states that the right hemisphere is primarily responsible for emotional processing [7], while another one suggests that the right hemisphere regulates negative emotion and the left hemisphere regulates positive emotion [8]. This asymmetry is anatomically based on an asymmetrical representation of homeostatic activity that originates from asymmetries in the peripheral autonomic nervous system, and fits well with the homeostatic model of emotional awareness, which posits that emotions are organized according to the fundamental principle of autonomic opponency for the management of physical and mental energy [9]. Supporting evidence for the lateralization of emotion comes from neuroimaging studies and neuropsychological observations with brain damaged patients, but also studies in non-human primates. In one study, tympanic membrane temperature (Tty) was used to assess asymmetries in the perception of emotional stimuli in chimpanzees [10]. The tympanic membrane is an indirect, but reliable, site from which to measure brain temperature, and is strongly influenced by autonomic and behavioral activity. In that study, chimpanzees were shown positive, neutral, and negative emotional videos depicting scenes of play, scenery, and severe aggression, respectively. During the negative emotion condition, right Tty was significantly higher than the baseline temperature. This effect was relatively stable, long lasting, and consistent across individuals. Temperatures did not change significantly from baseline in the neutral or positive emotion condition, although a significant number of measurements showed increased left Tty during the neutral emotion condition. These data suggest that viewing emotional stimuli results in asymmetrical changes in brain temperature, in particular increased right Tty during the negative emotion condition, evidence of emotional arousal in chimpanzees, and in providing support right hemispheric asymmetry in our closest living ancestor.
