A function definition defines a user-defined function object (see
funcdef: "def" funcname "(" [parameter_list] ")" ":" suite parameter_list: (defparameter ",")* ("*" identifier [, "**" identifier] | "**" identifier | defparameter [","]) defparameter: parameter ["=" expression] sublist: parameter ("," parameter)* [","] parameter: identifier | "(" sublist ")" funcname: identifier
A function definition is an executable statement. Its execution binds the function name in the current local namespace to a function object (a wrapper around the executable code for the function). This function object contains a reference to the current global namespace as the global namespace to be used when the function is called.
The function definition does not execute the function body; this gets executed only when the function is called.
When one or more top-level parameters have the form parameter
= expression, the function is said to have ``default
parameter values.'' For a parameter with a
default value, the corresponding argument may be omitted from a call,
in which case the parameter's default value is substituted. If a
parameter has a default value, all following parameters must also have
a default value -- this is a syntactic restriction that is not
expressed by the grammar.
Default parameter values are evaluated when the function
definition is executed. This means that the expression is evaluated
once, when the function is defined, and that that same
``pre-computed'' value is used for each call. This is especially
important to understand when a default parameter is a mutable object,
such as a list or a dictionary: if the function modifies the object
(e.g. by appending an item to a list), the default value is in effect
modified. This is generally not what was intended. A way around this
is to use
None as the default, and explicitly test for it in
the body of the function, e.g.:
def whats_on_the_telly(penguin=None): if penguin is None: penguin = [] penguin.append("property of the zoo") return penguin
Function call semantics are described in more detail in section
is present, it is initialized to a tuple receiving any excess
positional parameters, defaulting to the empty tuple. If the form
**identifier'' is present, it is initialized to a new
dictionary receiving any excess keyword arguments, defaulting to a
new empty dictionary.
It is also possible to create anonymous functions (functions not bound
to a name), for immediate use in expressions. This uses lambda forms,
described in section
Programmer's note: a ``
def'' form executed inside a
function definition defines a local function that can be returned or
passed around. Because of Python's two-scope philosophy, a local
function defined in this way does not have access to the local
variables of the function that contains its definition; the same rule
applies to functions defined by a lambda form. A standard trick to
pass selected local variables into a locally defined function is to
use default argument values, like this:
# Return a function that returns its argument incremented by 'n' def make_incrementer(n): def increment(x, n=n): return x+n return increment add1 = make_incrementer(1) print add1(3) # This prints '4'

A typical sports practice continues about two hours and seems a little something like this:
Jog around the field a few times
Stand in a circle and do a few stretches
Spend the next hour and fifty minutes practicing the sport.
The shortage of a proper warm up is enough to injure your athletes. Tack onto it the fact that your athletes lack the capacity to move safely and efficiently, and you are asking for your star player to be out for the rest of the season.
Female athletes are at a severe disadvantage when we look at the lower body and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries of the knee. I wish to touch on three common ones who will get you, the coach or parent, going on the correct course.
1. Lack of strength:
Sure, you might already understand that girls are feebler than guys. However, the acute lack of bizarre strength is hurting these young women. (Strange power can be defined as negative force where the muscle becomes longer under tension. For instance, when the foot hits the earth to cut and change direction, the hip, knee, and ankle joints all bend (flex) and experience bizarre forces. They contract difficult to stop the body from moving, but the muscle is, in fact, becoming longer.) Most girls are excessively reduced to make force into the ground to run. Now, we are requesting them to stop and change directions on a dime. The quantity of strange do not that happens with that movement is tremendous.
2. Appropriate running type:
Some people do not think that jogging technique can play a big part in sports performance development. Well, it can, especially when we are speaking about running safely and efficiently. Below is a graph of the amount of force placed on the ACL during the walking cycle. As you can see, the most force is really on the ACL when the heel hits the ground. There's not as much force as the foot rolls through to the toe-off period (1).
Most girls are inclined to run in a heel-to-toe manner, which, as we now understand from the graph, sets the maximum quantity of force on that ACL ligament. When the female athlete tries to slow down to cut and alter direction, that heel strikes the ground first (because her running technique is poor and she has poor strength), placing much torque on the ACL.
3. Anterior pelvic tilt:
This is extremely typical and something that most athletes don't even understand they have. A swayed lower back usually defines anterior pelvic tilt (APT). What does this tell us about the athlete? First, she has tight hip flexors and weak hamstrings. Second, she also has tight lower back muscles and poor abdominals.
Being in this position does not allow for very great knee drive during sprinting. Because there isn't much knee drive, the sportsman is heel hitting (mentioned previously). The weak hamstrings and glutes are not working properly, which makes the athlete having to compensate by using other muscles and ligaments to support the load. The weak abdominals are another straw breaking the camels back.
These three things are so very common in our active female athletes. Over 70% of ACL injuries are non-contact in nature, meaning the harm did not happen as a result of coming in contact with another athlete. The majority of these non-contact injuries come from the sportsman decelerating rapidly and putting or cutting the foot (2). (The Q angle of the femur does play a role in ACL injuries mainly because of the strain it places on the knee and ACL. There are quite a couple of articles and resources out there regarding the Q angle, so I decided not to address it in this article.)
By addressing the problems above, we can decrease the threat of ACL injuries in female athletes. Strengthen your athletes the right way and teach them the best way to go properly. We are doing these girls a disservice if we continue to overlook these dilemmas by practicing more and running them into the earth. Begin now with a sound foundation.

Lighting Artist passionate about creating moods and atmospheres.Download Resume
I am a Lighting and a VFX Artist. I am currently working at Ubisoft as a Real Time Lighting Artist Junior. My contract is ending in September 2018.
I am continually developing my graphical sensitivity and my ability to create strong atmospheres.
Thanks to my fine arts course, I appreciate keeping a global vision of the projects I work on. I study both game art and game design, which allows me to set a coherent relationship between gameplay and art direction.
What motivates me the most is setting the global atmosphere of a game. This is why I specialized in Lighting and Visual Effects, which conditions the player in a particular mood while guiding him/her throughout the level design.

Across the construction industry, the method of operative supply has remained largely unchanged; with several companies ignoring such philosophies as the importance of Health & Safety, the impact on our Environment and Sustainable Employment.
The current method of operation, which has become the standard across the operative supply sector, can be briefly explained in the following method: The Main Contractor requests an Operative from an agency, who in turn supplies said Operative and surrenders responsibility to the Main Contractor, whilst relying on the Contractor for feedback on quality of supply.
We at Munnelly Operative Supply believe this operating structure has enabled labour agencies to bypass their obligations to the three philosophies mentioned previously. Therefore, it is this belief and our resulting method of operation that forms the fundamental difference between traditional suppliers and Munnelly Operative Supply.

Product Description
If you are a man concerned about stopping hair loss, Procerin can help. Procerin comes in a convenient tablet form and topical solution that are used daily for the treatment of male hair loss. Procerin is an all-natural supplement available without a prescription.
Procerin is effective in reversing hair loss in men caused by androgenetic alopecia, the most common cause of male hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia results in thinning hair and the familiar receding hairline (or widow's peak)
Men suffering from androgenetic alopecia have elevated levels of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in their scalp. DHT is a chemical by-product of the male hormone testosterone.
When testosterone gets converted to DHT in the scalp, the result is hair loss. Procerin's active ingredients are specifically formulated to block this transformation into DHT, and stop the hair loss that DHT causes.
Procerin Has No Side Effects
Procerin blocks DHT without reacting with testosterone (as some prescription medications do). This can stop the further loss of hair from the scalp without the sexual side effects of prescription drugs like finasteride (Propecia). Men of all ages, and all levels of hair loss, can benefit from Procerin. Whether you are concerned about stopping hair loss before it becomes a problem, or already have significant loss of hair, Procerin can help.
Is Procerin for You?
Procerin's benefits are greatest for younger men (18-35), and older men whose hair is still in a growth phase. Men that still have growing hair experience an increase in hair count, and improvement hair thickness. Men often begin losing hair in their 20's, with hair loss progressing more rapidly as they age. As men get older, their hair's natural growth cycle cannot keep up with the hair loss.
Procerin is most effective for those men whose hair is still growing, but have thinning hair or a receding hairline. Procerin's effectiveness for men whose hair is no longer in a growth phase is limited to retaining existing hair.
Why Procerin?
Procerin is scientifically designed to help men retain and regrow their hair, and stop hair loss in its tracks. The active ingredients are all-natural DHT inhibitors. No harsh chemicals, no messy sprays or special shampoos, and no sexual side effects. Simply use Procerin once in the morning, and once before bed. Procerin is the convenient solution to hair loss, available without a prescription.

When it comes to hair loss treatment your level of sucess will be hit and miss and the only thing that all hair loss products have in common is that they will all hurt your pocket.
Having read as many online reviews as possible before I bought this product I found that the level of success that each individual had achieved ranged evenly from no sucess to terrific sucess. What I found disturbing though was that some people would get extremely bitter when certain products did not work rather than just move on to the next one.
This product worked reasonably well for me and although some might suggest that it may take 12 months to see
results I disagree and believe that 3 months would be ample time.
I did not experience any side affects and I'm glad that I tried them just to see what effect they had on my hair. There are a significant amount of hair loss products out there these days and I would recommend trying every one of them patiently until you find the right one.

Electoral College: Are Idaho's 4 electors being pressured to dump Trump, or harassed?
Across the country, people who refuse to accept Donald Trump's election victory are turning to that idiosyncrasy of American government, the Electoral College, to try to overturn the result. It's a long-shot strategy at best, and one that's turned nasty in some places — including, apparently, Idaho, where Trump's win netted him four electoral votes.
The state's chief elections officer, Secretary of State Lawerence Denney, said Idaho's four Republican electors who will represent the candidate when the Electoral College votes next month are being aggressively lobbied to abandon Trump.
Phone calls to the electors "are crossing into what could reasonably be considered harassment," Denney said in a statement Monday. The incidents are "disheartening and show a tremendous disrespect for the individuals tasked with casting Idaho's electoral ballots."
Denney was not specific, but said attempts to "sway an elector's commitment to their party through insults, vulgar language, or threats, simply lacks civility."
The Electoral College represents the electoral votes allotted to each state — one for each senator and House member — plus three for the District of Columbia, 538 in all. In most states, the candidate who wins the popular vote receives all of that state's electoral votes, and the winner's electors are expected to vote for the candidate when electors convene after the election. This year, electors meet on Dec. 19.
Not all states require their electors to vote for the candidate to whom they are committed. Idaho is one of 21 such states. Electors in many of those states are thus being pressured not to vote for Trump, becoming so-called "faithless" electors.
Idaho's Republican electors are Layne Bangerter, who was Trump's Idaho state campaign director; Jennifer Locke; Melinda Smyser; and Caleb Lakey.
"If the presidential election had been different, the presidential electors would be from a different party and would still deserve the same respect," Denney said. "They don't deserve to be mistreated by someone just because that person doesn't agree with the outcome of the election."
Denney said people could write to electors via his office.

Denney: Idaho's Presidential Electors Deserve Our Respect and Civility
Here is the presss release from Lawrence Denney's office:
Idaho's Presidential Electors will meet at noon on December 19th as directed by the Congress of the United States. At that time, they will cast their votes for President and Vice President. Idaho Secretary of State, Lawerence Denney, would like to remind Idaho citizens, along with citizens around the country that the four people tasked with casting Idaho's Electoral College ballots are exactly that ‐ people.
Presidential Electors are individuals appointed by each political party and each independent Presidential candidate prior to the election. These individuals take a pledge that, given the opportunity to represent their state and their party in the Electoral College, he or she will cast an electoral vote for the party's nominee for both President and Vice‐President. Since a majority of Idahoans cast their ballots for the Republican Party nominee, Donald Trump, Idaho's four electors will be the four Presidential Electors appointed by the Republican Party.
In recent days, Idaho's four Republican Party electors have been receiving phone calls regarding their vote in the Electoral College from citizens within Idaho and outside of the state. Many of these phone calls are crossing into what could reasonably be considered harassment. The callers are trying to persuade the electors to become what is known as a "Faithless Elector". Going against their pledge, "faithless electors" either abstain from or cast a ballot in opposition to their party's designated nominee.
"While there is no Federal requirement binding electors to their pledge, and while Idaho is one of 21 states that does not have state‐level legislation to force an elector to comply, attempting to sway an elector's commitment to their party through insults, vulgar language, or threats, simply lacks civility…" says Secretary Lawerence Denney, Idaho's Chief Election officer.
"These are people who have volunteered to represent our state and their party in a process that goes back to the founding of our nation," Secretary Denney continued.
"If the Presidential Election had been different, the Presidential Electors would be from a different party and would still deserve the same respect. They don't deserve to be mistreated by someone just because that person doesn't agree with the outcome of the election. It is one thing to have a civil conversation and share your concerns, but some of the reports I've received are far from that type of behavior." The incidents Secretary Denney has been made aware of are "disheartening and show a tremendous disrespect for the individuals tasked with casting Idaho's electoral ballots."
While our current Electoral College was implemented in 1804 with the passing of the 12th Amendment, the Electoral College has existed in some form since unanimously electing George Washington on February 4, 1789. The first faithless vote was cast by Samuel Miles, a Pennsylvania Federalist, who believed no Presidential candidate other than George Washington should ever be elected unanimously, in 1796.Throughout our history there have been a total of only 157 faithless electors. Seventy‐one of these faithless electors were because of the death of a party's nominee, like the 63 electors who would not vote for Democratic Presidential nominee Horace Greeley in 1872 when he died after the November election but prior to the convening of the Electoral College).
The most recent occurrence of a faithless elector was in 2004 when an anonymous elector from Minnesota voted for the same candidate for both President and Vice‐President.
To date, no elector has ever changed the outcome of the election by voting against his or her party's nominee.
"I ask that those who wish to share their opinions with the four Presidential Electors remain respectful to the individual serving." Secretary Denney continued. Also, those who wish to share may send a letter or email in care of the Secretary of State's Office. These will then be provided to the Presidential Electors prior to the Electoral College meeting on December 19th.

On January 12, 1930, the members still meeting in the courthouse as the sanctuary was completed, walked in double file from the courthouse to the new sanctuary
In her 80 years, the church has had eight pastors, Dr. C. C. Warren, Dr. Elwyn Wilkerson, Dr. Ralph Couey, Dr. Elroy Lamb, Dr. Austin Roberts, Dr. Robert Baker, Dr. Tim Noel, and myself....
The history of Lexington Avenue Baptist Church can never be totally told, for much that has made her has never been spoken aloud—thousands of personal prayers have undergirded her; there have been fears, perhaps doubts—yet the evidence of faith and hard work have been known felt and seen.
No, her story cannot be fully told, for it is not fully written for it is still being lived out in the lives and faith of people like you and me. We are the benefactors of those whose faith has preceded us. We will pass on that faith to new generations to come. And then, on the great day of the Lord's return, her story will be completed. Until that day we remain God's faithful servants, known still as the Lexington Avenue Baptist Church.

Seam Weld Wheels
Why upset-forged seam welding wheels perform better & last longer...
Individually upset-forged seam welding wheels increase production up-time and enhance weld performance because of their fine equiaxed grain microstructure.
Fine radial grain flow, the essential property for minimizing premature edge deformation, can only be produced by the upset forging process. Each wheel must be individually forged and heat treated to develop this advantageous microstructure.
Cast wheels, produced without forging, have large columnar grain structures that contribute to edge chipping and flaking, unreliable performance and higher production costs.
How to tell them apart....
Forged and cast wheels look alike and have similar hardness and electrical conductivity properties. On the surface it's hard to tell them apart. But, when the surfaces of both wheels are chemically etched, the difference in the grain structure is revealed.
Take note, there is a direct relationship between your production up-time and the method of manufacturing used to produce the seam weld wheel you choose to use. Individually upset-forged welding wheels outperform cast wheels every time, making them the clear choice for extending electrode life. Many RWMA suppliers do not understand the importance of, and do not supply, individually forged wheels. Production Engineering only sells individually upset-forged and heat-treated seam welding wheels. Most products are available from inventory, or can be custom made to meet your specific needs.

Ypsilanti Timeline
Ypsilanti is a small town of 4.2 square miles in Southeastern Michigan about 30 miles West of Detroit. Largely because of its proximity to Detroit Ypsilanti has had a very interesting history. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a city of equal size that can match Ypsilanti in its contributions to the world.
Pre Settlement
The City of Ypsilanti's history begins with the Native Americans. Although no tribes stayed in the area or claimed it for themselves the Huron River was used for transit and the banks and clearings (Water Street and Riverside Park) were favored by the Native Americans as resting, burial and hunting spots. This area was also an area where many Indian trails intersected the largest being the Pottawatomi Trail that extended West to Illinois and beyond. Our present day US-12 is based on the route of the Pottawatomi.
Along with the Pattawatomies there were Chippewas, Ottawas and Wyandots or Hruons. It is important to realize that even before being removed there were very few Indians in the whole of Michigan. The best estimate in 1764 was a population less than 5000 in the whole of Michigan. It is also important to note that the 4 tribes of this area were friends of the French and hostile to the English.
Although Detroit was first settled in 1701 there wasn't a white building West of that community until 1809. At this early time it was the French that populated Detroit and the French traders were opposed to settlements. The French relied on the woodland creatures and the Native Americans for there livelihood and knew progressive settlements would drive both from the area. The other issue for settlement was the turbulent times of the area. Detroit was passing hands between the British and the French and eventually the Americans. When you add native American claims and allegiances and a heavily forested frontier to the mix you can understand why settlers didn't venture far from Detroit.
French Explorer Robert Cavalier De LaSalle Canoed from Portage Lake down the Huron River to Lake Erie
The Wyandot people were struck by Smallpox
With the signing of multiple treaties and American advancement to the West the turn of the century found an area primed for expansion outside the boundaries of Detroit. The Michigan territory was established in 1805 with Detroit its capital and this started the post-Indian history of Ypsilanti. Probably the most notable event in the history of Ypsilanti was the appointment of Augustus B. Woodward as Chief Justice for the Michigan Territory.
Gabriel Godfroy, Francois Pepin and Romaine LaChambre opened a trading post along the pottawatomie trail. It was in the vicinity of where Michigan ave. crosses the Huron River. If you are in Riverside park the trading post would have been positioned where you see the electrical transformers today.
Gabriel Godfroy, Francois Pepin and Romaine LaChambre were deeded the 'French Claims' from President Madison. The French Claims totaled 2359acres surrounding their trading post. The Claims were divided into 4 parts the extra division going to Godfroy's children. The trading post was a fairly crude structure and often had Indians gathered around. It is important to note that Godfroy was a very rich and politically powerful man in the Michigan territory. Godfroy, Pepin and LaChambre never took up permanent residence of the Trading Post. I speculate that Godfroy, Pepin and LaChambre set up the trading post in agreement with Augustus Woodward of Detroit as part of a land speculation deal.
The War of 1812 — Detroit taken under British Control.
Survey taken of Michigan to give soldiers land for their service in the war of 1812. The Surveyor incorrectly survived Michigan as full of swamp land and disease. It is thought that the surveyor just didn't do his job.

For a time Woodruffs Grove and Ypsilanti were two communities that existed side by side. The City of Ypsilanti is based on the land from the French Claims.
Oct: John Byron, his wife Sara and 5 children set out for Woodruffs Grown via an Ox cart from Detroit. The trip took 4 days, they were the first to arrive by cart.
Alpha Washtenaw Byron was born — The 1st white born in Washtenaw county

There is an error in the opening paragraphs where it is stated: "Although Detroit was first settled in 1701 there wasn't a white building West of that community until 1809."
Fort St. Joseph (site now enclosed within Niles, MI) was established in 1691 on the site of a French Jesuit mission which was established on the St. Joseph River in west Michigan as early as 1684. So there were white buildings west of Detroit for several years prior to the establishment of Detroit. Additionally, Pere Marquette established a French mission at present-day St. Ignace in 1671 which was later augmented by a military fort in 1683. That garrison was moved to Detroit in 1701.
A more accurate statement would be "…there wasn't a white building IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN West of that community until 1809."

More info on the 1893 Cyclone
Town of Ypsilanti Swept by a Cyclone.
Ypsilanti, Mich., April 13.– A terrific cyclone struck Ypsilanti at 7:15 last night; passing through the business streets from southwest to northwest. The residence of William Knizely was blown off its foundation. Curtis' wagon and carriage factory, the business college, Draper Opera house, Hawkins house and several other buildings were demolished. Along Congress street, the principal street of the city, for two blocks signs and awnings were blown down and almost ever plate glass front on the north side of the street was smashed. On Huron street, the Laible block containing the postoffice (sic) and four stores were riddled.
The roof of the building was blown into the street and several houses opposite were damaged by flying debris. Crossing the river the cyclone unroofed the residence of Jonathan Voorhees on River street, and blew another house off its foundation. Farther eastward Dr. Moore's house and barn were overturned. The wind lasted ten minutes, and although the streets were filled with people only a few moments before no serious accident is reported. As soon as the wind subsided the electric lights were shut off to avoid a fire. The streets are filled with wreckage, fallen trees and debris of all kinds.
YIPSILANTI (sic), Mich., April 13.–Almost the entire population of the this city is working the streets clearing away the debris, which remains as the visible result of last night's cyclone. The leading streets are impassable. As far as can be ascertained today, no one was severely injured. The cyclone cut a swath two blocks wide. The damage done is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars.

All classes will be held on the regular schedule unless announced here!
Sometime Saturday evening a major water line in one of the adjacent businesses to the gym broke. We came in Sunday to find the majority of the gym to be under 1 inch of water. After an emergency clean up we were able to save most of the equipment in the gym. The clean up and drying process has been turned over to restoration crews. Most of the gym flooring and lower walls will need to be removed, dried, cleaned, painted and/or replaced. This process could take a few days as restoration crews continue the clean-up effort. Its a mess.
We will try to continue classes at our normal hours. Clean up crews and equipment will be in and out of the gym regularly. Space and workout equipment will be limited making it difficult to program workouts in advance. The good thing about CrossFit is you don't need much to get in a great workout! Show up and be ready for the unknown and unknowable.
Please keep an eye on this blog for any possible changes to the schedule. Thanks for your understanding!

Case Studies
Dinesh is a Sri Lankan national who came to the UK in 1964 and has since worked and lived here, he also has children and grandchildren in the UK. It is likely that Dinesh had indefinite leave to enter when he can to join his father, but in any case, he would have indefinite leave to remain as he was present in the UK as at 1.1.1973, when a new Immigration Act came in, which regularised people's stay in the UK. Dinesh came to HMC because his employers asked him for proof of his immigration status and he was not able to produce this in time so he found himself being fired from his job at Hammersmith and Fulham council. He was very distressed and frustrated. He had received a letter from CAPITA informing him that he had to provide evidence of booking a flight back home. His benefits were going to be stopped and he was getting into rent arrears and was threatened with eviction. During the drop-in one of our advisers from ILC informed him that he almost certainly has ILR and informed him of what application he would need to make, along with the relevant evidence he would need to gather to prove he has been in the UK for 50 years.
We stayed in touch with Dinesh and he started to deteriorate, he was struggling with the effect his situation was having on his mental health and then he was diagnosed with lung cancer. An immigration adviser from Islington Law Centre agreed to take on his case as part of our pro bono immigration project.
We have just found out that he has now been awarded indefinite leave to remain and so can access benefits and prevent his eviction and hopefully concentrate on looking after himself.
There are many other people who have been caught out by the legal aid cuts who are in a similar situation, see a recent Guardian article covering this issue here
Samuel is a young Jamaican, who first came to HMC for immigration advice in May 2012. He had arrived in the UK in 2008 with a study visa for university which was about to expire. When he came to HMC Samuel was gravely concerned about his imminent return, as in Jamaica he had received threats because of his homosexuality, and he feared further persecution because of widespread homophobia there. Our immigration adviser helped Samuel to submit an asylum application and made written representations on his behalf. Eventually the Home Office recognised the risks associated with Samuel returning to Jamaica, and in September 2012 he was recognised as a refugee.
Recently Samuel returned to HMC for assistance with a pressing housing problem. After living in a student hall of residence, he had moved to private shared accommodation, and was renting the living room in an overcrowded flat. He no longer received financial support from his family, and was claiming job seekers allowance, to which he is entitled as a recognised refugee. However, as is often the case, his landlord was reluctant to accept a tenant who was receiving benefits, and had given him a week's notice to vacate the property.
Samuel's only viable option seemed to be a place in supported accommodation through the YMCA. Even this seemed challenging as, in order to register, he needed a letter of recommendation from his local council. Despite Samuel's best efforts his caseworker at the council didn't provide this and he was at serious risk of homelessness. HMC assisted him with his application to the YMCA and wrote him a reference to get him a place in a hostel.
An HMC volunteer met Samuel by chance recently at a book launch. He had finished his studies a couple of months earlier and found work as a social care advocate. He has moved in with a friend and is involved with LGBTI groups.
Abeke is a 21 year old young woman from Nigeria. In May 2013 the Citizens Advice Bureau referred her to HMC for both immigration and housing advice. Her visa had expired and she was homeless and destitute. We discovered that Abeke also needed health advice and help with GP registration as she was six months pregnant. Abeke's irregular immigration status meant that her housing and financial situations were difficult to address because she had 'no recourse to public funds' and therefore could not seek benefits, housing or work; she was in a very desperate situation. The reasons why she was in this situation were very complicated.
Abeke first came to the UK for a month as an unaccompanied minor aged 13 as her stepfather didn't want her to stay with the family in Nigeria. On this visit she stayed with a Nigerian family not related to her. After her one month visa expired in 2005 she returned to Nigeria and obtained a multiple entry two year visa. In June 2006 she returned to the UK and lived with the same family until 2008 when they had to leave London. During these three years Abeke never attended school.
After her original host family left London, Abeke went to live with Jennette, a woman of Nigerian origin, and her two children. Jennette arranged for her to go to school and supported her as much as possible. After school Abeke decided to go to college where she completed a BTEC Level 3 in IT and Business. During her studies she developed a relationship with a young man she met at college. When she became pregnant he abandoned Abeke and never contacted her again. On top of this, Jennette told her that she was unable to support her with a baby and asked Abeke to leave.
During her first visit to HMC our health adviser helped Abeke to register with a GP, and our volunteers made several successful grant applications on her behalf. Unfortunately we were not able to find her a shelter for the night but the vicar of St. Mary's church agreed to house her temporarily.
Abeke came back the following week and after lengthy discussion with her, an immigration solicitor from Islington Law Centre took on her case as an Article 8 Human Rights application . As there is now no longer legal aid for this type of immigration case, we accepted Abeke on the project we have developed with Islington Law Centre to help destitute people who need immigration representation and cannot pay a private solicitor.
After her Article 8 application was lodged Abeke should have been able to get housing and financial support from social services, while the Home Office was considering her claim. Our generalist adviser helped her apply for housing and financial support but which borough had responsibility for her was disputed, as she had been living in Newham when she became homeless but was now in Hackney, and neither borough would accept responsibility for her. HMC helped to refer her to a community solicitor who issued a judicial review against Hackney Social Services which finally accepted responsibility and has housed her in temporary accommodation.
At the end of August 2013 Abeke gave birth to a healthy little boy. She is still living in temporary accommodation with financial support from Hackney Social Services. Abeke still comes regularly to HMC to meet people and get help when needed. Recently we managed to find her a pushchair for her baby. We are hopeful that she will receive a decision from the Home Office granting her the right to remain, which will enable her to build a new life for herself and her son.
Ali is a 37-year-old doctor from Sudan, who left his country because he was suffering persecution for his antigovernment political activities. He first came to the UK in 2004 to claim asylum, but because of his light skin colour the Home Office did not believe that Sudan was his country of origin, and refused his asylum claim and subsequent appeal. In 2006 he returned to Sudan where he was arrested at the airport in Khartoum, and was placed in detention. After his release he continued to be persecuted for his political activities. Eventually he decided to return to the UK in May 2012 and claim asylum again.
Ali first came to HMC to seek advice in August 2012. At this point he was homeless, with no support or access to healthcare, and was visibly exhausted. We advised him about his asylum claim, and our volunteers referred him to the British Red Cross for further help with his claim and to apply for asylum support. Meanwhile, volunteers helped him to find a place in a shelter for homeless people and to obtain healthcare. Ali continued to come regularly to HMC sessions.
Ali was clearly suffering from mental health problems and other serious illnesses following his ill-treatment in Sudan. We were very concerned about him, so referred him to Freedom from Torture, which offers therapy and support to victims of torture. His asylum case was very complicated because Ali had claimed asylum before and Home Office guidance was not clear as to whether he must start a completely new asylum claim or make a fresh claim. He was bounced back and forth between various Home Office departments in different cities, adding to his distress.
It was only in October 2012, after his solicitors threatened to challenge the Home Office with a judicial review, that Ali was able to lodge a new asylum claim. He was then granted asylum support. By this time he had unnecessarily suffered five months homelessness and destitution, which exacerbated his mental stress and depression. In line with the Home Office policy on 'dispersing' asylum seekers outside of London, at the end of 2012 he was sent to Birmingham. Ali still has regular contact with HMC via email. We are also trying to connect him to supportive services in Birmingham as he is still feeling very distressed. Happily, after more than a year in limbo he was recently granted refugee status.

A poll by the University of Texas and the Texas Tribune found that 66% of Texans believe climate change is happening. Only 23% say it's not happening and the rest were undecided.
Like a poll asked by the same group on immigration, the divisions of opinion are split sharply along political affiliation. The poll found that 88% of those identifying as Democrats, along with 74% identifying as independents said climate change was happening. The poll found that 44% of Republicans agreed with Democrats and independents on the issue while 42% said it was not happening. Republicans also led the way when it comes to being undecided with 14% of the GOP here saying they weren't sure.

"I think the bunnies are watching us."
Dakotah, Pete, and Val all looked up from what they were doing. Phin was peering intently through the blinds into the yard, standing at a slight angle as if worried about sniper attacks.
"Dude…what?" asked Dakotah.
Phin let the blinds drop. "I'm serious. There's a whole bunny army out there. Un conejito ejercito. I think they're watching us."
"Why…would they be watching us?" Pete said with arched brows.
Phin shrugged. "You said we aren't safe. Maybe they're waiting for their moment. You know, a bunch of bunnies could be more dangerous than just one giant salamander."
"Stop saying bunnies!" Val giggled. "Is this how you get when there's no homework?"
School was out in two weeks, and with all their AP tests done at the end of May, Phin and Pete were pretty much home free.
Dakotah and Val were the opposite. She had to do super well on two final projects to get her grades up. He had had to go around to each of his teachers and figure out a way to avoid summer school. Unlike last year though, his teachers were more helpful and less resigned. Putting in more effort during the school year had definitely helped sway some opinions of him.
Ike would've been happy. He'd always had a lecture for Dakotah on the importance of school. Dakotah still didn't give a shit about school but at least it'd be out of his hair for three months, and then he'd be a senior. He did not have time for summer school this year. He had big plans for marketing the shop.
"Besides, the salamander was like three weeks ago," Pete pointed out.
They'd spent a ton of time trying to figure out the salamander—what its real name was, where it had come from, if it had been sent by someone, if it had died, why it tried to attack them—with no luck. Dakotah had put a strict ban on using the Lake (the only thing he hadn't tried was going back on it and seeing what happened). Beyond that, he'd sent a note to the Seelie prince, a note that had gone unanswered.
"Three ominous weeks," responded Phin, with another look out the window.
Val cracked up. "Well, I'm done with this," she said, dropping her pencil. "Let's go outside and practice sensing. Maybe you can tell how big the bunny army is."
"Cool. You guys coming?"
Dakotah and Pete shook their heads.
He said, "I have to finish this."
She said, "I have to read about salamanders on Wikipedia."
They all laughed and Phin and Val went out to the backyard.
"Apparently if you coat yourself in salamander blood it makes you immune to fire," Pete said. "We should remember that."
Dakotah grimaced. "That's some Walking Dead shit."
"Ooh!" said Pete.
"What?" He looked up from his homework.
"There was a Power Rangers salamander monster called Saliguana! That's what we should call our salamander!"
"Oh Jesus," said Dakotah, looking back to his homework. "We can't, it's probably copyrighted."
She giggled.
"And stop reading me the Wikipedia page. I read that before the grimoire."
There hadn't been a salamander grimoire so they'd been having Val read random tomes, like reptiles (which included amphibians; grimoires weren't very scientific), winged beasts, and fire. The Fire Grimoire had been surprisingly long.
"Maybe I'd better be practicing Hero stuff with Phin," Pete wondered. "In case we have to fight."
Dakotah made a face. "Nobody's fighting anyone."
She arched her eyebrows. He sighed.
"Ok, just a little more researching. If we can't find anything today, we'll just…"
But he couldn't finish the sentence, because he didn't know what they'd do.
"Close your eyes," Val instructed. She held the heavy grimoire in one hand, referencing it as she told Phin what to do. Ever since Dakotah had first inherited his shop, they'd all been experimenting with the magic they came into contact with. Now she was organizing, setting up mini lessons and trying to teach things to Phin and Pete in a logical way. Unfortunately, she didn't have any magic herself, but the magic of Heroes was way more clear-cut than Guardian magic, so they could figure it out together.
"Picture the backyard in your mind. No, wait, look at the area three feet around you, then close your eyes and picture that."
"Ok, then, like fill it with color?"
Phin opened his eyes. "Was that a question?"
"I think you have to picture it like, really, really clearly, then you infuse it with magic and you can start separating things—even how many blades of grass there are."
"Ok," said Phin. "I already know the shop really well, so I'm gonna sense for bunnies."
"Dude, you are so weird–"
But Phin was already trying. His eyes were closed and he frowned slightly as he concentrated.
"Got one," he said after a moment. Without opening his eyes, he started to walk forward. "You circle around the back side of the fence."
"What? Why?"
"We're gonna trap it."

Excerpt from "Indelible" (memoir in progress):
Jim pounded on the van, jerking the door handle, and yelling unintelligible words. The screen door slammed behind me as I rushed outside, fumbling with my keyless entry button to unlock the door. Jim yanked the door and sagged as the door flew open.
"Honey, what are you doing?" I was concerned we would be kicked out of our rental cabin for disturbing the quiet neighborhood.
"Won't open," he said.
"I know. I locked the doors while I carried in luggage."
Tears streamed down Jim's cheeks, and he glared at me.
Our family doctor had written a new prescription to help level out Jim's moodiness. I had hoped the erratic behavior would end, and I wouldn't have to give him the new medicine. Reluctantly, I handed Jim a bottle of water and one of the new pills.

As you all know I went shopping on Sunday and I popped into Primark. It might have been just me but I was a bit disappointed with the clothing section of Primark but they had so many things I loved in their home section. In the home section I bought some vintage bedding and I love it. It was £12 which is such a bargain considering you can get the same thing in Debenhams for £40 ! The bedding is reversible with one side red and the other white. My favourite thing about the bedding is the pillow it spells out Love in a vintage floral way which I love.
The second thing was bought was a throw for my bed which I just love. It is also vintage and is reversible.All around the throw there is a lace trim which is such a lovely feature. I got this for £15 which is amazing value.
The only piece of clothing I got was this t-shirt. It is a dupe of the Topshop Geek top (even though it doesn't say geek you know what I mean ) I think you can get the Geek top but I didn't see it so I got this one. I did see other colours and words. The geek tops in Topshop are around £20 and this dupe
was £4! This is such a money saver.
Have you got any thing in Primark recently.
