John Meyendorff, Marriage: An Orthodox Perspective, 3rd revised edition. Crestwood, NY: St. Vladimir’s Seminary Press, 1984, 131 pp.
In my ongoing study of the LDS and ancient temples, their theology, rituals, and practices, around Christmas I finished John Meyendorff’s small volume on Eastern Orthodox marriage. It is a brief but interesting history of marriage in this ancient religion. The Orthodox adhere to the canons of the first Ecumenical Councils and the teachings of some of the early church Fathers. However, despite his reputation in Western Catholicism, they have some differences with the theological giant Augustine on the subject. Marriage did not become a “sacrament” or rite in the Greek Orthodox Church until the 10th Century C.E. (See p. 26) Like all of Christianity, church and civil marriage rites had a great deal of mutual influence on each other, especially in eastern orthodoxy. As always in the early churches, politics and political leaders played an important role and exerted considerable influence upon marriage law, custom, and practice. Orthodoxy tries to hold true on the New Testament prohibitions of divorce and Church tradition of celibate clergy. On the former they have gradually come to permit some divorce and remarriage. An interesting Orthodox doctrine is the idea of eternal marriage which is transformed into Christlike love.
Last year I co-organized the Global DevOps Bootcamp 2017 where the global organizers provided a Twitter wall and I got the inspiration to build a Twitter dashboard for future events or even for continuous monitoring products, technologies, etc.
I was thinking about building something by my own to monitor tweets talking about "#sitecore #azure" using Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Cognitive Services and PowerBI. I found this pre-built "Brand & Campaign Management Solution Template for Twitter" template. This article will land you on the associated AppSource page where you will find a quick demo video, some screenshots, the Azure calculator, etc.
Quite interesting and easy to provision. But I would like something lighter, with less Azure services and cheaper. I found these resources as well:
With all these inspiring resources there is different approaches where you could use SQL Database, Azure Functions, Azure Stream Analytics, Cosmos DB, etc.
In my case and my context, I landed just with Azure Logic Apps, Cognitive Services (Sentiment detection) and PowerBI (PowerBI Streaming Dataset). Here is my Logic App workflow:
As a result in PowerBI, here is my dashboard/report:
The Logic App doesn't receive a lot of tweets with #sitecore and #azure, so in my case it's very cheap. Since September 2017, I just monitored 317 tweets, so it has costed me almost nothing.
Hope you will find some great inspiration to build your own Twitter Dashboard (or other ideas associated) with all these resources. Again Azure Logic App is a great tool to help you building such solution without code by aggregating different connectors.
Final thoughts I explicitly used "continuous monitoring" at the beginning of this blog article because like you know I'am a DevOps Enthusiast. Continuous Monitoring is an important part for DevOps and getting feedback from end-users via social media is part of that. You also know that I'm a fan of VSTS, for many reason - have you heard about the new Release Gate feature? Why not including a Twitter sentiment analyzer as a Release Gate? ;)
1. The teeth and gums are very important as they allow us to chew our food. This is an integral part of digestion.
2. Lots of people suffer with receding gums. This is where some of the gums above and around the teeth disappear, leaving more of the tooth enamel showing.
This can make people feel self-conscious and it can also cause the teeth to decay faster, as the gums are the first layer of protection.
3. Receding gums are caused by bacterial infections in the mouth such as gingivitis or gum disease.
The good news is that you can heal the gums by using today's natural remedy, to supply the body with the right nutrients and get rid of any infections.
Let's a look at the recipe:
You Will Need
1/4 Teaspoon of Organic Wheatgrass Powder
30ml Spring Water (In a shot glass)
Method:
Add the water and wheatgrass powder to a shot glass and stir well until dissolved. This will form a dark green coloured fluid.
Swish the mixture gently around your teeth and gums for 5 minutes in the morning, and at night.
Spit the mixture out into the sink and then brush your teeth with a regular toothpaste.
4. The wheatgrass contains a powerful pigment called chlorophyll. This is antibacterial and destroys all of the harmful bacteria which is in your mouth.
5. If you do this twice per day, you will notice your gums beginning to strengthen. They will become less inflamed and any loose teeth will begin to strengthen back into position.
6. Scientific research and testimonials show that the chlorophyll found in wheatgrass causes the gum tissue to heal over time.
7. Some studies show that wheatgrass can be used as a treatment and preventative for mouth cancer.
8. Many people also use oil pulling as a technique to heal the gums, however wheatgrass is much more effective due its powerful healing properties.
9. Consistent use of this remedy will clear chronic bad breathe as it neutralises odours and keep the teeth and gums healthy and clean.
10. If you are starting to get a sore throat also known as strep, you can gargle the wheatgrass juice to quickly heal the infection.
11. Mouth ulcers, wounds, cold sores and sore gums will also be healed very quickly using this wonderful natural remedy.
12. We also recommend taking an extra, clean shot of wheatgrass juice and drinking this before a meal during the day.

13. The phytochemicals in the powder help to get rid of free radicals in the body, which are destructive to our cells.

This condition is quite common where people suffer with sinus problems, such as a regular blocked nose, post nasal drip or a lump sensation in the throat.
15. It also helps to heal inner ear problems such as tinnitus where you hear a high pitched ringing noise, usually in only one ear.
16. To get rid of toothache, simply hold the shot of wheatgrass in your mouth without swishing on the painful area for about 10 minutes. This will soon eliminate pain and pull out any toxins and bacteria which is making the problem worse.
17. If you prefer to use fresh wheatgrass, you can buy the seeds and grow it easily on the windowsill at home.

How to unblock your nose instantly, using some natural breathing exercises at home.
Having a blocked nose can be absolutely terrible, especially when we are trying to sleep at night. The following natural breathing exercise will help you with this.
The first thing you should do is hold a large ice cube at the roof your mouth, whilst drinking a glass of cold water.
The cold temperature will help to contract the swollen blood vessels in your nose, slowly starting to unblock it.
When our noses are blocked, it is often the case that we are breathing through the mouth causing a lack of Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
The body tries to prevent C02 from escaping and causes the nose to become blocked and mucus to be produced.
To stop this endless cycle, begin by taking a deep breath in through the mouth and then pinch your nose. Hold your breath and walk around your home until you feel a strong urge to breathe.
This usually takes around 20-30 steps. Then, sit down with your spine straight and slowly release the air through your nose.
After this, there will be a strong urge to breathe quickly and deeply. It is important that you do no give in to this urge. Instead breathe slowly and take in smaller amounts of air than you need.
Allow your body to feel slightly hungry for air. This will cause the brain to send a signal to your nose, telling it to unblock by releasing the restricted blood vessels.
Stay relaxed through the whole process, and allow your body to feel hungry for air. After only one attempt, the carbon dioxide will begin to unblock your nose.
Take your time, and repeat the previous steps if this does not work straight away. Do not rush the process.
Drink lots of cold or hot water throughout the day to hydrate your body, and thin the mucus which may be causing the blocked nose.
Stay away from milk and dairy based products when trying to clear a blocked nose. These cause a build-up of phlegm and mucus which only make the problem worse.
If this problem persists for more than 2 weeks, be sure to get medical advice from a doctor, as this may be caused by allergies.
Get well soon, and I hope that this remedy has been of use to you.
