Menw
Menw, son of Three-Cries (Middle Welsh: Menw fab Teirgwaedd), is a hero and shapeshifter in early Welsh literature, an "Enchanted Knight" of King Arthur at his court at Celliwig. He appears most prominently in the early Arthurian tale Culhwch and Olwen, in which he is handpicked among Arthur's warriors to accompany Culhwch on his quest to win Olwen. An "Enchanter Knight" of Arthur's court, he learned one of the Three Enchantments from Uther Pendragon. He is ascribed a son named Anynnawg.
Role in Welsh tradition
After being cursed by his stepmother so that he marry no one but Olwen, daughter of the giant Ysbaddaden, Culhwch ap Cilydd seeks assistance from his cousin Arthur to win her hand in marriage. Arthur agrees to help him, sending six of his many warriors to assist him on his quest, with Menw as the sixth. Each warrior has his own unique skill; Menw is a skilled magician, able to place he and his companions under an illusion of invisibility so as to protect them in savage lands.
Prior to the Hunting of Twrch Trwyth, Menw is sent in the form of a bird to spy on Twrch Trwyth and his piglets, eventually catching up with him at Osgair Oerfel in Ireland. Menw attempts to retrieve one of the boar's trinkets but is poisoned in the process and was thereafter never completely without injury. He also plays a part in the hunt proper, chasing the boar into the Severn alongside Mabon ap Modron and Goreu fab Custennin.

Meningitis
Meningitis (from Greek μῆνιγξ méninx, "membrane" and the medical suffix -itis, "inflammation") is an acute inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges. The inflammation may be caused by infection with viruses, bacteria, or other microorganisms, and less commonly by certain drugs. Meningitis can be life-threatening because of the inflammation's proximity to the brain and spinal cord; therefore, the condition is classified as a medical emergency.
The most common symptoms of meningitis are headache and neck stiffness associated with fever, confusion or altered consciousness, vomiting, and an inability to tolerate light (photophobia) or loud noises (phonophobia). Children often exhibit only nonspecific symptoms, such as irritability and drowsiness. If a rash is present, it may indicate a particular cause of meningitis; for instance, meningitis caused by meningococcal bacteria may be accompanied by a characteristic rash.

Ep 153: Jeremy Powell: Cultivating Hope
Jeremy Powell, a pastor and teacher in Union City, Tennessee, was born with an autoimmune deficiency that rendered his body incapable of defeating bacterial and fungal infections. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world, Powell contracted fungal meningitis. Given only an 18% chance of surviving the infection, his doctors at the National Institutes of Health recommended a bone marrow transplant as a last-ditch effort to clear the meningitis and save his life. Powell survived the transplant, and his rehabbed immune system even fought back the infection in his spine and brain. He was healed of his autoimmune deficiency and the fungal meningitis it caused. However, it left him completely paralyzed from the neck down, an he found himself dangerously close to having his breathing perman...

Teenagers in England are to be offered a vaccine against a deadly strain of meningitis, after a sharp rise in cases. Just 22 people contracted Meningitis W in 2009, but that number rose to 117 last year - an increase of over 400 per cent. Now there are plans to roll out an immunisation programme in a bid to stop the disease spreading.

Meningitis is a potentially deadly disease characterized by an inflammation of the meninges. In this video, I discuss the meninges and the pathophysiology of meningitis.
TRANSCRIPT:
The term meninges refers to 3 membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord: the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. The meninges protect and provide structural support for the brain as well as contain cerebrospinal fluid. Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges. This inflammation is typically caused by an infection, although there are non-infectious causes of meningitis as well. A variety of pathogens can cause meningitis, but the most severe cases tend to involve bacterial infections.
Although the central nervous system is separated from the bloodstream by barriers like the blood-brain barrier and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier, meningitis can occur when pathogens evade these types of barriers and enter the meninges. When a pathogen enters the cerebrospinal fluid, an immune response causes the inflammation that characterizes meningitis. As a consequence of the immune response, the blood-brain barrier is made more permeable. This causes an influx of white blood cells and constituents of blood plasma into the cerebrospinal fluid, which contributes to inflammation and increases the volume and viscosity of the cerebrospinal fluid. These changes contribute to the development of cerebral edema, or the accumulation of fluid in the brain, as well as to the build-up of the pressure inside the skull, known as intracranial pressure. The increased intracranial pressure can disrupt cerebral blood flow and result in damage to brain tissue. Common symptoms of meningitis include headache, neck stiffness, fever, and altered mental status, but the disease can cause serious long-term complications or death. A lumbar puncture, or spinal tap, is typically done to diagnose meningitis. Although treatment will vary depending on the cause of the disease, antibiotics are often started before a diagnosis is made if bacterial meningitis is suspected, as bacterial meningitis is typically fatal if left untreated.

Meningitis is inflammation of the meninges - the membranes that enclose the brain and spinal cord. The meninges consist of 3 layers: dura, arachnoid, and pia mater. Between the arachnoid and pia mater is the subarachnoid space containing blood vessels that supply the brain. Meningitis typically affects the arachnoid, subarachnoid space, and pia mater.
Meningitis can be caused by a large number of various organisms. Different age groups are susceptible to different causative agents. In the majority of cases, the offending organism originates from an infection elsewhere in the body and gets to the central nervous system by several ways:
- it may invade the bloodstream, then disrupt the blood-brain barrier to gain access to the brain,
- or, it may spread directly by way of the nose, throat, or ear, following a respiratory or ear infection.
- some organisms can reach the brain by travelling along olfactory or peripheral nerves.
Early symptoms may include high fever, intense headache, and stiff neck. Patients may also experience altered mental status such as drowsiness, confusion, and delirium. If left untreated, infection may spread to the underlying brain tissue, causing loss of sensory and motor functions, coma or even death. Depending on the causative agent and patient’s age, death may occur as soon as within hours. Survivors may also be left with lifelong disability due to brain damage.
Bacterial meningitis is most serious, with Streptococcus pneumoniae causing the highest mortality and morbidity. It’s a medical emergency requiring immediate diagnosis and treatment.
A hallmark of bacterial meningitis is the presence white blood cells and bacteria in the cerebrospinal fluid - the CSF. Samples of the CSF can be obtained by making a lumbar puncture in a spinal tap procedure.
Meningitis with a negative microbiologic workup is known as aseptic meningitis and is most commonly caused by a virus. Most cases of viral meningitis are milder and self-limited.
Treatments for bacterial meningitis include prompt initiation of empiric antibiotic therapy, followed by directed antibiotic therapy once the pathogen is identified. Steroids, such as dexamethasone, are used to reduce inflammation. Patients must be closely monitored and treated for systemic and neurologic complications.
Viral meningitis may be treated with antiviral therapy, if available.
There are also specific treatments for fungal and parasitic meningitis.
Several vaccines are available for protection against most common types of meningitis.

Jeremy Powell, a pastor and teacher in Union City, Tennessee, was born with an autoimmune deficiency that rendered his body incapable of defeating bacterial and fungal infections. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world, Powell contracted fungal meningitis. Given only an 18% chance of surviving the infection, his doctors at the National Institutes of Health recommended a bone marrow transplant as a last-ditch effort to clear the meningitis and save his life. Powell survived the transplant, and his rehabbed immune system even fought back the infection in his spine and brain. He was healed of his autoimmune deficiency and the fungal meningitis it caused. However, it left him completely paralyzed from the neck down, an he found himself dangerously close to having his breathing permanently compromised.
After a stint at the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Spain Rehabilitation Hospital, another operation and an inpatient rehab stay at Vanderbilt’s Stallworth Hospital, Powell slowly began feeling again. As he has grown stronger, his mobility has dramatically improved, and Powell continues to amaze medical doctors, nurses and physical therapists nationwide with his miraculous recovery.
In this episode, Powell shares his inspirational story and that in the midst of some of the darkest days he has ever experienced, it became clear that God could use his suffering to cultivate hope in his life and in the lives of others. Today, he has returned to the pulpit of Crosswind Church where his message of hope touches hundreds each week.

BBC Breakfast spoke to Tracey and Emily Saunders, whose son and brother Edward died after contracting Meningitis W.
Teenagers in England are to be offered a vaccine against a deadly strain of meningitis, after a sharp rise in cases. Just 22 people contracted Meningitis W in 2009, but that number rose to 117 last year - an increase of over 400 per cent. Now there are plans to roll out an immunisation programme in a bid to stop the disease spreading.

Meningitis Signs and Symptoms (& Why They Occur)
Meningitis is a condition involving inflammation of the meninges (the layers that cover the brain and spinal cord) that can be caused by a variety of factors including bacteria, viruses, and autoimmune conditions. Due to inflammation of the meninges, a variety of signs and symptoms can occur, which we will discuss in this lesson.

Meningitis is an illness that can be very scary. It's an infection that can make people very, very sick. Babies who get the disease are at particular risk of getting dangerously ill because it can be tricky to diagnose and symptoms can escalate quickly. More on how to recognize and treat meningitis from Mayo Clinic.

Meningitis is a potentially deadly disease characterized by an inflammation of the meninges. In this video, I discuss the meninges and the pathophysiology of meningitis.
TRANSCRIPT:
The term meninges refers to 3 membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord: the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. The meninges protect and provide structural support for the brain as well as contain cerebrospinal fluid. Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges. This inflammation is typically caused by an infection, although there are non-infectious causes of meningitis as well. A variety of pathogens can cause meningitis, but the most severe cases tend to involve bacterial infections.
Although the central nervous system is separated from the bloodstream by barriers like the blood-brain barrier and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier, meningitis can occur when pathogens evade these types of barriers and enter the meninges. When a pathogen enters the cerebrospinal fluid, an immune response causes the inflammation that characterizes meningitis. As a consequence of the immune response, the blood-brain barrier is made more permeable. This causes an influx of white blood cells and constituents of blood plasma into the cerebrospinal fluid, which contributes to inflammation and increases the volume and viscosity of the cerebrospinal fluid. These changes contribute to the development of cerebral edema, or the accumulation of fluid in the brain, as well as to the build-up of the pressure inside the skull, known as intracranial pressure. The increased intracranial pressure can disrupt cerebral blood flow and result in damage to brain tissue. Common symptoms of meningitis include headache, neck stiffness, fever, and altered mental status, but the disease can cause serious long-term complications or death. A lumbar puncture, or spinal tap, is typically done to diagnose meningitis. Although treatment will vary depending on the cause of the disease, antibiotics are often started before a diagnosis is made if bacterial meningitis is suspected, as bacterial meningitis is typically fatal if left untreated.

Meningitis is inflammation of the meninges - the membranes that enclose the brain and spinal cord. The meninges consist of 3 layers: dura, arachnoid, and pia mater. Between the arachnoid and pia mater is the subarachnoid space containing blood vessels that supply the brain. Meningitis typically affects the arachnoid, subarachnoid space, and pia mater.
Meningitis can be caused by a large number of various organisms. Different age groups are susceptible to different causative agents. In the majority of cases, the offending organism originates from an infection elsewhere in the body and gets to the central nervous system by several ways:
- it may invade the bloodstream, then disrupt the blood-brain barrier to gain access to the brain,
- or, it may spread directly by way of the nose, throat, or ear, following a respiratory or ear infection.
- some organisms can reach the brain by travelling along olfactory or peripheral nerves.
Early symptoms may include high fever, intense headache, and stiff neck. Patients may also experience altered mental status such as drowsiness, confusion, and delirium. If left untreated, infection may spread to the underlying brain tissue, causing loss of sensory and motor functions, coma or even death. Depending on the causative agent and patient’s age, death may occur as soon as within hours. Survivors may also be left with lifelong disability due to brain damage.
Bacterial meningitis is most serious, with Streptococcus pneumoniae causing the highest mortality and morbidity. It’s a medical emergency requiring immediate diagnosis and treatment.
A hallmark of bacterial meningitis is the presence white blood cells and bacteria in the cerebrospinal fluid - the CSF. Samples of the CSF can be obtained by making a lumbar puncture in a spinal tap procedure.
Meningitis with a negative microbiologic workup is known as aseptic meningitis and is most commonly caused by a virus. Most cases of viral meningitis are milder and self-limited.
Treatments for bacterial meningitis include prompt initiation of empiric antibiotic therapy, followed by directed antibiotic therapy once the pathogen is identified. Steroids, such as dexamethasone, are used to reduce inflammation. Patients must be closely monitored and treated for systemic and neurologic complications.
Viral meningitis may be treated with antiviral therapy, if available.
There are also specific treatments for fungal and parasitic meningitis.
Several vaccines are available for protection against most common types of meningitis.

Jeremy Powell, a pastor and teacher in Union City, Tennessee, was born with an autoimmune deficiency that rendered his body incapable of defeating bacterial and fungal infections. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world, Powell contracted fungal meningitis. Given only an 18% chance of surviving the infection, his doctors at the National Institutes of Health recommended a bone marrow transplant as a last-ditch effort to clear the meningitis and save his life. Powell survived the transplant, and his rehabbed immune system even fought back the infection in his spine and brain. He was healed of his autoimmune deficiency and the fungal meningitis it caused. However, it left him completely paralyzed from the neck down, an he found himself dangerously close to having his breathing permanently compromised.
After a stint at the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Spain Rehabilitation Hospital, another operation and an inpatient rehab stay at Vanderbilt’s Stallworth Hospital, Powell slowly began feeling again. As he has grown stronger, his mobility has dramatically improved, and Powell continues to amaze medical doctors, nurses and physical therapists nationwide with his miraculous recovery.
In this episode, Powell shares his inspirational story and that in the midst of some of the darkest days he has ever experienced, it became clear that God could use his suffering to cultivate hope in his life and in the lives of others. Today, he has returned to the pulpit of Crosswind Church where his message of hope touches hundreds each week. You can discover more about Powell at JeremyPowell.com and find episodes of his messages on Crosswind Church’s Youtube channel.

Menw
Menw, son of Three-Cries (Middle Welsh: Menw fab Teirgwaedd), is a hero and shapeshifter in early Welsh literature, an "Enchanted Knight" of King Arthur at his court at Celliwig. He appears most prominently in the early Arthurian tale Culhwch and Olwen, in which he is handpicked among Arthur's warriors to accompany Culhwch on his quest to win Olwen. An "Enchanter Knight" of Arthur's court, he learned one of the Three Enchantments from Uther Pendragon. He is ascribed a son named Anynnawg.
Role in Welsh tradition
After being cursed by his stepmother so that he marry no one but Olwen, daughter of the giant Ysbaddaden, Culhwch ap Cilydd seeks assistance from his cousin Arthur to win her hand in marriage. Arthur agrees to help him, sending six of his many warriors to assist him on his quest, with Menw as the sixth. Each warrior has his own unique skill; Menw is a skilled magician, able to place he and his companions under an illusion of invisibility so as to protect them in savage lands.
Prior to the Hunting of Twrch Trwyth, Menw is sent in the form of a bird to spy on Twrch Trwyth and his piglets, eventually catching up with him at Osgair Oerfel in Ireland. Menw attempts to retrieve one of the boar's trinkets but is poisoned in the process and was thereafter never completely without injury. He also plays a part in the hunt proper, chasing the boar into the Severn alongside Mabon ap Modron and Goreu fab Custennin.

Donde Jugaran Los Ninos
by: Man'aCuenta el abuelo que
De niño el jugó
Entre árboles y risas
Y alcatraces de color
Recuerda un rÃo
Transparente si olores
Donde abundaban peces
No sufrÃan ni un dolor
Cuenta mà abuelo
De un cielo muy azul
En donde voló papalotes
Ue él Mismo construyó
El tiempo pasó y
Nuestro viejo ya murió
Y hoy me pregunté
Después de tanta destrucción
¿Dónde diablos jugarán los pobres niños?
¡Ay ay ay!
¿En dónde jugarán?
Se esta quemando el mundo
