Former Japan Official: "Unstoppable contamination of Pacific Ocean… is seriously menacing US West Coast" — "Fukushima now undeniably a global security issue… can't be brought under control by single state" — Experts: Wave of radiation will be 10 times more than entire world's nuclear tests combined

Mitsuhei Murata, former Japanese Ambassador to Switzerland, Nov 1, 2015 (emphasis added):
The lack of the sense of crisis over Fukushima is in stark contrast to the gravity of the crisis. Fukushima is now undeniably a global security issue. The unstoppable contamination of the Pacific Ocean and the atmosphere with ionizing radiation from the destroyed Fukushima nuclear reactors is seriously menacing the West Coast of the United States. Japan should make utmost efforts to cope with the Fukushima crisis by retreating from the Tokyo Olympic Games that disseminate the false impression that Fukushima is under control.
Deteriorating situation in Fukushima — Japan is laboring under the consequences of the Accident never before experienced by humanity, including the simultaneous destruction and meltdown of three commercial nuclear reactors. Four and half years after the 3.11 disaster, it has been shown that a severe nuclear accident cannot be brought under control by a single state… It is questioned if Japan is in possession of the governability and the capacity needed to cope with the impending crisis. The melted cores of the reactors from Units 1, 2 and 3 remain inaccessible… If the molten nuclear fuel rods are exposed through cracks to the atmosphere due to a mega earthquake or the liquidization of soils on the site that could cause the collapse and breach of Fukushima's spent fuel pools, Japan's landmass would become uninhabitable to a large extent… The whole of Japan is threatened by the worsening situation emanating from the molten fuel rods, which continue to widely disseminate large amounts of dangerous radionuclides into the sea and atmosphere. Limitless steam observed evokes the possibility of re-criticality at the site. The undeniable necessity for international verification of the suspected re-criticality at the site should bring about the indispensable international cooperation to cope effectively with the Accident. The ongoing radioactive contamination of the sea with no prospect for a solution is dishonoring Japan, causing it to be criticized for harming the global environment. In spite of all this, attempts are shamefully being made to hide Fukushima…
World is menaced by the spreading contamination… The consequences of the radioactive contamination of the Pacific Ocean from Japan to the West Coast of the United States are drawing increased attention. Some experts now estimate that the wave of radiation from Fukushima will be 10-times bigger than all of the radiation from the entire world's nuclear tests throughout history combined…
The Tokyo Olympic Games belittle the Fukushima crisis — It is undeniable that the Tokyo Olympic Games constitute serious impediments for coping with the consequences of the March 11 Disaster… My interview article was published in the magazine "Monthly Japan" (September 2015). It is entitled "An honorable retreat from the Tokyo Olympic Games" and is given a central place. Reactions are noteworthy and expanding… The Tokyo Olympic Games diverts attention from Fukushima and gives the false impression to the world that Fukushima no longer poses a threat. The advancement of the Tokyo Olympic Games comes at the expense of the funds needed to address the host of environmental disasters created by the destroyed Fukushima nuclear reactors… The future of the Olympic Games is at stake. It is as a believer in the spirit of the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement that I am pleading for an honorable retreat, and this, in order for Japan to devote maximum efforts to controlling the Fukushima crisis.

TV: 'Scary' mystery illness killing off animals "at such a rapid rate" on West Coast — Hundreds of marine mammals found dead in small area — Gov't Expert: "Something is likely affecting the entire ecosystem… Something is hitting them harder and faster… Something else seems to be involved" (VIDEO)

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Oct 8, 2015 (emphasis added): More than 200 dead or sick sea otters have been reported on beaches in [Alaska's] Kachemak Bay region in 2015… A team of experts… are working to understand what has caused the spike in sea otter deaths and potential significance to the population… [T]he cause of death for many of the sea otters remains unknown.
Anchorage Daily News, Oct 10, 2015: Researchers see spike in Kachemak Bay sea otter deaths… [A news release from gov't agencies] said the recent deaths and sickness could significantly affect the population.
KTVA transcript, Oct. 8, 2015: Hundreds of sea otters have been found dead in the Katchemak Bay area near Homer this year. Veterinarians at the Alaska Sea Life Center are working with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to figure out what's making the otters so sick… It's an unsettling mystery, killing off some of Alaska's favorite furry animals.
KTVA, Oct 8, 2015: Unusually high number of sea otter deaths reported in Kachemak Bay… experts from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are working to figure out what's killing off the otters at such a rapid rate. "More recently, animals have appeared otherwise healthy and seemed to have died very quickly," said Dr. Carrie Goertz… "it's scary to know there's something out there in the wild that we may or may not be able to do anything about."
Peninsula Clarion, Oct 10, 2015: Spike in otter deaths in Kachemak Bay… "They were pretty healthy-looking, other than they were dead" [said Marc Webber, U.S. Fish & Wildlife]… The otters are clearly unwell… nonresponsive and unable to move, [Dr. Carrie Goetz, SeaLife Center veterinarian] said. "There haven't been any obvious causes of death," Goetz said. "That's been limiting our understanding of what's going on."… Reports of dead animals of multiple species have risen in the Kachemak Bay area in the last few months, including birds and barnacles… Increased numbers of dead whales had been spotted as well…
KBBI, Oct 13, 2015: [Webber said] when something is going wrong with them, something is likely affecting the entire ecosystem… [Dr. Goetz] says they've been tracking a streptococcus illness… But the otters that have died since August seem different. "[They] have died acutely… in the last couple of months," Goertz said… [What Webber is] seeing seems different than what he's seen in the past. "Something is hitting them harder and faster… something else seems to be involved," Webber said.
AP, Oct 14, 2015: "We're finding otters all over the Homer area"… [the] otters are turning with neurological conditions that cause them to twitch, said Webber… dying otters could be an indicator that something is wrong with the entire ecosystem, according to Webber. The Alaska Sea Life Center has been tracking a streptococcus illness… but what's happened since August is something new, said veterinarian Cari Goertz…
USGS California Sea Otter Stranding Network 2014 Stranding Summary: The number of sea otter strandings in 2014 (386) was the highest on record, 18 above the 368 sea otters that stranded in 2012. There were 340 strandings in 2013… A stranded sea otter is one that washes ashore dead or alive… NOTE: Stranding numbers only account for sea otters that people find… possibly less than 50% of sea otters that die in the wild end up on the beach…

It has begun…
Experts: Pacific food web crashing — "What's going on? Where are the fish? Where did they go?" — "To be honest, it's insane" — "You could equate it to a war zone" — "Food shortage all up & down West Coast" — Fishermen believe pollution harming food chain, doubt NOAA's 'warm water' theory (VIDEOS)

KSBW, Mar 30, 2015 (emphasis added): Volunteers who track the animals now say they think the colony of harbor seals is being affected by this year's food shortage in the Monterey Bay, and that affect is significant… The food shortage is happening up and down the West Coast… it isn't just affecting sea lions, it is also affecting harbor seals. Monitors say the pupping season got off to an early and difficult start this year, with more seal pups being abandoned the normal… They attribute the problems to a food shortage in the Pacific… it is happening all up and down the coast.
New York Times, Mar 16, 2015: Keith Matassa, Pacific Marine Mammal Center: "You could equate it to a war zone… hundreds of rescue calls a day"… Michele Hunter, PMMC: "To be honest, it's insane. We've never had to deal with [something like this]"… Scientists are puzzled by whats happening. Matassa: "That's what we're trying to figure out is why? What's going on? Where are the fish? Where did they go? Was there a little mini El Nino? Did something happen with the currents that the fish decided to go deeper or further out? They're not closing the book on any theory."

NBC San Francisco, Mar 17, 2015: [S]cientists are taking a closer look at rapidly declining oxygen levels in oceans… In California, this has meant a huge free-fall in populations of important bottom feeder fish… Francisco Chavez [with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute said,] "I think there are a slew of surprises ahead."
East Bay Express, Mar 18, 2015: In 2013, the sardine biomass was estimated to be about 725,000 tons… In 2014 [it was] down to 406,000 tons… there is no doubt that the population is severely depressed… sardines have declined to their lowest level in six decades… it's unclear whether fishing is a significant cause for the collapse…
Tillamook Herald, Mar 13, 2015: Dr. George Hemingway, retired Oceanographer, Marine Educator, and chair of the Lower Nehalem Watershed Council will present a lecture entitled Warming and the 2014 Anchovy Bloom… Dr. Hemingway will go on to discuss subsequent developments in the Pacific, including the current crash in the food web, which has led to significant mortality of birds, sea lions and other marine life.
KEYT, Mar 18, 2015: NOAA points to water temperature as an answer for underweight sea lions, but fisherman aren't so sure – Fisherman tell News Channel 3 that past El Nino years have been warmer… They believe the sea lion food chain may be affected by pollution as well… "Their habitat is being messed with"… "I just think they have behavioral changes that have been affecting them much more than it has in the past."

While driving north along I-95 heading from Orlando to Savannah, Georgia, Mom made a very interesting discovery on the map. We were going to drive by St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest city in the United States. St. Augustine was founded in 1565 by Spain.
She had read many positive things about St. Augustine while researching this leg of the adventure, but mistakenly thought that it was located in South Florida near Miami. St. Augustine had not made the list since we had not planned on driving that far south. A quick browse of the internet on the iPhone (seriously, how did we travel before smart phones) and we found many interesting things to see including making a last-minute reservation with St. Augustine Eco Tours to take a dolphin cruise.
We had a 12:30 reservation for our boat trip, and were able to park and walk up to the marina about 12:29. We were met at the dock by Captain Adam and headed out onto the Matanzas River.
The Matanzas River is part of the inter-coastal waterway that feeds into the Atlantic Ocean. It is saltwater, and thus is full of all sort of interesting marine life. The main goal of our trip was to see dolphins and we were not disappointed, seeing our first one about 30 seconds into the trip.
Captain Adam informed us that there are usually around 100 dolphins in the river during the Winter months and around 300 in the Summer. We are not sure how the dolphins tell the difference since it was the last week in February and it was 80 degrees. Later in the trip we got to float alongside a pair of dolphin swimming up river. The kids and the parents thought this was pretty cool.
Captain Adam took us up into a canal in search of jellyfish, but unfortunately none were to be found on this day. We then headed farther up river to see the bald eagles that have made their nest in a tree here for the last 17 years. We were able to get a long distance shot of one of the parents, but the two chicks were not visible due to the fact that it was a very windy day. The nest was about eight feet across in the top of a tree around 125 feet tall. Quite impressive!
The boat also came equipped with a hydrophone (a microphone that allows you to hear under water). We were unable to hear the echolocation of the dolphins we followed, but we were able to hear the sound of pistol shrimp on the bottom snapping their claws together.
We also got to view egrets, herons, pelicans, and seagulls. The trip was great and lasted around 90 minutes. We would have enjoyed the boat ride even if we had not seen any of the wildlife.
After the trip, we headed next door to have lunch at the Santa Maria Restaurant. The food was great, but the thing everyone enjoyed the most was feeding the seagulls. Old bread is provided to feed to the birds through trapdoors they have installed on the window ledges. The gulls obviously dine here often and know the drill.
After lunch, we walked through the old narrow streets of the town to see some really cool old houses and Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine Catholic Church built in 1565.
Next up was the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument. This is the oldest fort in the United States and was set up by the Spanish. It has defended against pirates and seen action during the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and many other skirmishes.
The kids enjoyed going to the top of the building to see where the canons were fired. The National Park Service does daily canon firings, but we were too late to see one.
On our way out of the park, we ran into Ranger Fritz, who graciously gave the kids a 15 minute private history of the fort which we greatly appreciated. The kids did not have enough time to complete the Junior Ranger books, but we can mail the finished books back and the Rangers will mail us the badges.
Once the park closed we headed onto our original destination of Savannah, thankful for the unexpected stop in St. Augustine. It has been one of our favorite places so far on any of the trips.

As the nations of the world review the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in May at the United Nations, they gather at a time of unprecedented hope for genuine progress toward disarmament. The new receptivity to nuclear abolition is reflected in the "New START" treaty between the United States and Russia, and was sparked by private initiatives led by former U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz and other senior security experts and officials in many countries.

The report, which was trumpeted by US President Donald Trump, states that three of four people convicted of international terrorism and terrorism-related offenses were foreign-born.
Muslim Advocates and Democracy Forward filed the lawsuit on Monday after the departments failed to meet their demands to retract and correct information in the report, which was disseminated in January.
"The report presents information on immigrants and foreign nationals in a manner that misleadingly inflates the threat they pose to the United States," the lawsuit states. "Its presentation of this information also focuses exclusively and inaccurately on Muslims."
According to a Department of Homeland Security analysis, about 73 percent of at least 549 individuals the report revealed were convicted of international terrorism-related charges in US federal courts from September 11, 2001 through the end of 2016 were foreign-born.
The lawsuit claims the report "manipulates information to support its anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim conclusions" by, among other reasons, leaving out domestic terrorism incidents and including people who committed terrorist acts abroad and were only linked to the US in their extradition.
Trump tweeted about the report the day it was released and said, "We have submitted to Congress a list of resources and reforms," and, "we need to keep America safe, including moving away from a random chain migration and lottery system, to one that is merit-based."
"Nothing will stop the administration and the president, the departments of homeland security and justice, from continuing to traffic in false and bigoted and stereotyped views of immigrants and Muslims," Muslim Advocates legal director Johnathan Smith said in a press call Tuesday. "And that's why we thought it was really important to file this action."
The legal advocacy groups are seeking legal redress by invoking the little-known Information Quality Act, which requires federal agencies to meet a standard of accurate and unbiased information sent to the public. The report "lacks utility and objectivity," Democracy Forward senior counsel Robin Thurston said during the press call.
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson on Tuesday told Newsweek they do not comment on pending litigation. The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Charles Kurzman, a sociology professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill specializing in Middle East and Islamic studies, raised concerns on the study's methodology, similar to those in the new lawsuit, in a blog post published shortly after the report came out.
Kurzman filed a public records request in January seeking data on domestic terrorism cases. The Department of Homeland Security "has access to that data but chose not to use it in that report. It's their data—they maintain that data," Kurzman said.
"Clearly, candidate Trump and President Trump is not overly sensitive to the feelings and experiences of Muslim Americans," Kurzman added. "So this was just another slur on Muslim communities."

My solution will continue on with the fine work that was done on pg.netgraphics.sk. There we have two separate applets, one for translation and one for rotation. User is able to click into the area of the applets and by doing so, the applet changes so that it reflects the point that was selected by a click. There is also a simple desctiption of the function that the applet emulates and also the matrix that is used for the calculations of the output image.
In my applet, that will be created from the original ones, I will merge both applets into a larger one. Another nice idea is to impletent these changes in some funny, playable way, like a simple game. User should be able to select from a repository of objects, and place copies of the chosen object into the workspace. He should also be able to select any of the previously placed objects and do some changes, like change type of the object, move it to another position or rotate the object.

Misrepresenting Science
Elaine Ecklund from Rice Universtiy has stirred the pot again, with the publication of yet another paper, which appears in the journal Public Understanding of Science, about a study that makes questionable use of data relating to scientists' views of the compatibility of science and religion. The data includes a number of opinions by Dawkins opponents in the scientific community. The study is titled "Responding to Richard: Celebrity and (mis)representation of science". That title alone should alert readers to the potential for bias in its findings. Ecklund has revealed her own bias by tweeting: "British scientists really, really dislike Richard Dawkins, our new study discovers". This appears to be the biased opinion of Ecklund herself, rather than the actual majority view of scientists. Her view is not supported by the data in her own study.
The study is based on "48 in-depth interviews conducted with biologists and physicists at universities in the United Kingdom". It should be noted that this data was not collected for the purpose of this particular investigation, but extracted from a broader study, also conducted by Ecklund, titled Religion among Scientists in International Context: A New Study of Scientists in Eight Regions (RASIC). The Dawkins study used only the 48 responses where Richard Dawkins' name was mentioned during the interview, from among a total of 137 interviews in the RASIC study. Of those 48, 38 of them expressed an unfavorable view of Dawkins. Although the RASIC researchers didn't explicitly ask any questions about Dawkins, it is not at all clear what they did ask, or why Dawkins' name came up so frequently in the responses. It seems likely that these interviews discussed the topic of "celebrity scientists with anti-religion views", or something similar to that. There must have been something that prompted those responses, and it would be useful to know what it was.
Without knowing exactly what questions prompted the responses in these interviews, and without having a survey that was designed specifically for the objective of this study, with the purpose of eliciting scientists attitudes toward Dawkins, it is impossible to assess whether these responses are applicable only in some limited context, or whether they are representative of scientists in general. From this study, we don't know anything at all about the attitudes of the 65% of scientists interviewed who said nothing at all about Dawkins. Therefore, this Dawkins study conducted by Ecklund appears to have very limited scientific value. Judging from its title, it seems to be little more than a personal dig against Dawkins.
Nevertheless, it was publicized in the Rice University news release: Most British scientists cited in study feel Richard Dawkins' work misrepresents science. Please notice that the title is carefully worded to convey the impression that scientists believe that Dawkins misrepresents science, but it is easy to overlook the fact that this statement is true only for scientists that were cited in the study, not for the scientific community in general. It might just as well have said that 72% of scientists interviewed did not express negative attitudes toward Richard Dawkins, but for some reason, that fact was not mentioned in the news release, or Ecklund's study. You have to read it carefully to realize that it only applies to a subset of scientists, and that subset seems to be cherry-picked.
The story was then picked up by other popular news outlets with a religionist agenda. For example, EWTN (the Catholic media outlet) grossly misinterpreted the facts of the study. Their story says "Most UK scientists think Dawkins atheistic crusade misrepresents science", which is simply not true at all. But it is easy to see how they might think that, based on the misleading way Ecklund and Rice University reported her study results. The EWTN story goes on to explain the difference between science and scientism, which is basically that non-materialistic views, which don't reject the idea of souls and miracles and other religious beliefs, are compatible with real science, but any scientific view that is more empirically based (like that of Dawkins) is just scientism. And Ecklund's study serves to confirm their belief that Dawkins misrepresents real science.
In a similar manner, Christian apologists, such as Mikey at Shadow to Light and Reppert at Dangerous Idea have latched onto this story as evidence that their long-standing hatred of Richard Dawkins is well justified. By taking an un-critical view of the story, they are able to confirm their bias. But as much as they are willing to believe anything that agrees with their own prejudices, there's no genuine scientific backing for those opinions. It has been pointed out that Ecklund's work is funded by the Templeton Foundation, a pro-religious institution whose mission is to infiltrate religion into the scientific community. They pay people like Ecklund to make pro-religious findings like this one. This is no different from the "scientific studies" funded by the fossil fuels industry that show no link between fossil fuels and global warming. The studies are not objective. They take a selective view of the data. They have an ideological agenda, and present non-scientific findings in accordance with that agenda. This is a misrepresentation of science, and it serves the purpose of confirming the biases of a shallow-minded audience.

11 years ago, the Epsen Act (Education for Persons with Special Education Needs) was created to deal with policy, the setting-up of a special education review council and other structural elements, all of which were implemented, but vital sections were ignored. These covered the educational assessment for all children with special educational needs, the development of a statutory individual education plan and the delivery of detailed education services.
Micheal Martin TD commented that the current HSE model does not work and does not meet the needs of Ireland's special needs children. We are vastly under-resourced he claimed when it comes to physiotherapists, speech and language therapists and occupational therapists.

Prime Minister Abbas' speech was a nationalist and hard-lining text typical of Palestinian leadership. While speaking of the desire for Palestinian statehood and peace, Prime Minister Abbas referred to Israel's presence in the West Bank as both "colonial" and as an "apartheid," while saying nothing of systematic terrorism campaigns in which Palestinian leaders like Yasser Arafat have had historic complicity.
Given the tone of the speech, Prime Minister Netanyahu's optimal strategy was to reiterate a desire for negotiations, highlight the efforts it has taken towards peace, and reiterate his acceptance of the 2-state solution. The Prime Minister did make these points...eventually.
However, he began by insulting the United Nations and the press from the podium of the UN General Assembly. His speech, rambling at times, had the tone of an off-the-record conversation in a Likud party office, not an official statement of Israeli policy. Given the global audience, and historical importance of the moment, the Prime Minister squandered a key opportunity to delegitimize the Palestinian statehood bid and frame Israel as the moderate centrist in the conflict. Instead the Prime Minister chose to invoke "crocodiles" of radical Islam, 9/11, the Holocaust, and Israel's archaeological past. That the UN has held blatant double-standards against Israel is clear. But the place to make that point is not on the podium of the General Assembly.
As the bid moves forward, the Prime Minister's inability to create international support, especially support cobbled together with the assistance of the US, will continue to be a diplomatic and security liability to the State of Israel. The Prime Minister's speech today was the diametric opposite of hasbara. It made moderate centrists less pro-Israel, not more. It harmed Israel's diplomatic leverage in the international community rather than helping it. Most importantly, it showcased an Israeli leadership completely out of touch with reality on the ground and in the international community. While the Prime Minister will sleep safe in New York City tonight, residents of Sderot and Ashkelon will sleep under the threat of rocket fire. Palestinians will sleep ready for another day of systematic discrimination. The conflict will perpetuate for another day. There have been no winners.

Veterans come to aid of fellow Marine
Published with permission by The Cullman Times
By David Palmer
The Cullman Times
Trent Winstead served his country in perhaps the world's most dangerous location, Afghanistan. As a lance corporal in the Marine Corps, the Cullman County native served three and a half years of active duty. He returned home and took a medical retirement because of a wound that left him without a leg.
Nonetheless, Winstead has spent his time back home working to make ends meet but not without difficulties. His car constantly broke down, making it difficult to work and he was wanting to continue his education.
Through the cooperative effort of the Marine Corps League, Soldier's Heart Ministry and the locally based Saving Forgotten Warriors, as well as Mitch Smith Chevrolet, Winstead now has a Chevy Tahoe to ensure he can get to work consistently and soon enjoy the benefit of a scholarship to Wallace State Community College. The presentation of the vehicle was made Thursday at Mitch Smith Chevrolet.
"This is Marines helping Marines," said John O'Malley, a member of the Marine Corps League. "We try to help them or their families whether it's a vehicle or scholarship or something that is need to help them get on their feet again after serving their country."
Winstead said he also intends to use the Tahoe to help others in need.
"I haven't had a vehicle in years that didn't die somewhere on (U.S.) 31 or 278," Winstead said.
Retired Marine Sgt. Jeremy Hogan, a Cullman resident and founder of Saving Forgotten Warriors, said the nonprofit organization has discovered a wide range of needs among veterans.

Here's a novel idea for a film festival: instead of just showing a director's oeuvre straight, why not throw in a handful of films that complement, or contradict, or just plain go nicely with the main work?
Ciné Lumière is doing just that with a "retrospective in context" of the work of Michael Haneke, the Austrian director who has made a career out of cracking apart the complaisant, cosseted world of the continental middle classes. Ahead of the release of Haneke's American remake of his own 1997 work, Funny Games, previewed on the opening night, the South Kensington institute has cobbled together the essential films from his back catalogue and cosied them up with some thought-provoking counterparts. Here's our picks:
Hidden: Haneke's 2006 metaphorical exploration of European colonial guilt was feted on its release, and garnered a Best Director award at Cannes. It nestles alongside Luis Bunuel's dinner party-skewering The Discreet Charm Of Bourgeoisie.
Time of the Wolf: Considered Haneke's darkest film - a damning indictment for a director whose themes seldom rise above pitch black - this post-apocalyptic fable starts bleakly and spirals ever downwards from there. For a truly pessimistic evening, the curators have twinned it with Andrei Tarkovsky's dystopian masterpiece Stalker.
Funny Games: One to terrify your significant other with, this profoundly disturbing story of torture at a lakeside retreat is almost guaranteed to unsettle for days afterwards, so be warned: this one stays with you. It is sandwiched between Pier Paolo Pasolini's sadistic Salo Or The 120 Days Of Sodom and Sam Peckinpah's once-banned home invasion thriller Straw Dogs.
Michael Haneke Retrospective, at Institut Francais, SW7 2DT. From February 29th - 9th March.

World Down Syndrome Day: Just the Facts, Ma'am
Today, March 21st, is World Down Syndrome Day. Why March 21st? Because Down Syndrome (or T21) is a chromosomal defect where three copies of the 21st chromosome are present. 3 copies of the 21st chromosome=3/21. Get it?
It's also an excuse for Dadad to dress Sarah in his alumni colors of yellow and blue (can you guess where he went to school?) but I digress.
I would like to take this opportunity to give some facts and information on Down Syndrome and my wishes for the future of Down Syndrome and for my daughter.
What is Down Syndrome?
Down Syndrome is the most common genetic defect. It is a triplication of the 21st chromosome, also known as trisomy 21. It affects about 1 in 800 live births. Approximately 150 thousand babies are born each year with Down Syndrome worldwide.
What are some of the symptoms of Down Syndrome?
The most common symptoms of Down Syndrome are cognitive delays (learning disabilities), small stature/slow growth, distinctive facial features such as an absent nasal bridge, almond-shaped eyes, a small mouth (sometimes accompanied by a protruding tongue), and light colored (brushfield) spots in their eyes. Other physical signs include a single crease across the palm, short, stubby fingers or a "sandal toe" (large gap between the big toe and other toes). Not every person with Down Syndrome will have every physical feature of Down Syndrome.
What are some health problems that can occur alongside Down Syndrome?
The most common physical health problems that accompany Down Syndrome are heart conditions such as AVSD, ASD and VSD (holes in the heart), conditions of the intestine such as a duodenal atresia ("double bubble"), vision problems such as myopia, amblyopia, strabismus or nystagmus, thyroid problems, low muscle tone, hearing loss, an increased risk of leukemia (but better chances of responding to treatment, and lower risk for other cancers!), or seizures. However, none of these things are a sure thing. A child with Down Syndrome can be born with many health problems or no health problems, just like a child without Down Syndrome.
I've heard Down Syndrome is more common if you're over 35. Is this true?
Yes and no. Although 80% of children with Down Syndrome (including Sarah) are born to people under 35, your statistical chances for Down Syndrome are much higher after 35. Your chances under 30 are 1 in 1000, which goes up to 1 in 400 at 35, 1 in 60 at 42, and 1 in 12 at 49+.
What causes Down Syndrome?
Down Syndrome is caused by a triplication of the 21st chromosome. Although Down Syndrome is typically a random event, there is one form of Down Syndrome that is inherited.
What do you mean, different forms of Down Syndrome?
There are three different types of Down Syndrome: nondisjunction, Robertsonian translocation, and mosaic.
Nondisjunction is the most common type of Down Syndrome. Approximately 90% of all people with Down Syndrome have this type. This is a straight up triplication of the 21st chromosome. Every cell of a person with nondisjunction Down Syndrome's body contains this triplication.
Robertsonian translocation and mosaicism account for approximately 10% of all cases of Down Syndrome. Robertsonian translocation is the only kind of Down Syndrome with a heritable component; that is, at least one parent is the carrier of the gene that is passed down and causes this type of Down Syndrome. Robertsonian translocation happens when one piece of the 21st chromosome "breaks off" and attaches to another chromosome. Every cell of a person with translocation Down Syndrome's body contains this triplication. Mosaicism occurs in a similar way to nondisjunction, however, only some of the cells of a person's body are affected, whereas some have the standard pair rather than a triplication. Because not every cell is affected, some people erroneously believe that this is a "less severe" form of Down Syndrome, however, this is not true.
So Down Syndrome isn't a spectrum disorder?
No. Down Syndrome is not a spectrum disorder. You either have it or you don't.
But I know somebody with Down Syndrome who can do x and y, and I also know somebody with Down Syndrome who can't do x and y, so the first person is obviously higher functioning.
My fiance can play five instruments. I can't play any instruments. Does that mean that he's higher functioning than I am? No…it just means he can play five instruments.
People with Down Syndrome are first and foremost people. As people, they have a wide range of things they can and cannot do. That doesn't mean that a person with Down Syndrome who can do X and Y is "higher functioning" than a person with Down Syndrome who can't do X and Y. It just means that they have a different set of skills.
Can people with Down Syndrome learn (read, write, etc)?
Yes, absolutely! People with Down Syndrome may have cognitive delays that cause them to learn slower, but that doesn't mean they can't learn at all! With the proper help for them to reach their full potential, many people with Down Syndrome learn to do everything people without Down Syndrome can do, including reading, writing, math, and other academics. People with Down Syndrome can, and frequently do, graduate from high school and go on to college.
What is the life expectancy of someone with Down Syndrome?
Fortunately, life expectancy of people with Down Syndrome have improved greatly over time (in 1980, the life expectancy of a person with Down Syndrome was 25!) The average life expectancy of a person with Down Syndrome is 50, however, many people with Down Syndrome live into their 60s and even longer.
Do people with Down Syndrome live full and happy lives?
YES! People with Down Syndrome can absolutely live full and happy lives. Many people with Down Syndrome go to college, get married, drive a car, and hold down steady jobs. Although they may require ongoing support, there is no reason why they would be unable to have a full and happy life.
Can people with Down Syndrome have children?
Most men with Down Syndrome are infertile, but women with Down Syndrome are largely considered to have normal fertility, so I suppose the answer is yes. I don't know of any couples who have Down Syndrome who have had children, though.
I've heard that 90% of babies with Down Syndrome are aborted. Is this true?
Again, yes and no. 90% of all babies with Down Syndrome are not aborted; only those with a prenatal diagnosis. This accounts for fewer than 20% of all babies with Down Syndrome currently. However, with new technologies emerging, it's possible that we could see these numbers increase, which is why it's important to educate people about the reality of Down Syndrome, rather than just the scary things that they are misinformed about.
What are your hopes for the future of Down Syndrome and how people view Down Syndrome?
I hope that people will eventually stop viewing Down Syndrome so negatively. Down Syndrome is not a death sentence! People with Down Syndrome lead full and happy lives. There's nothing wrong with having Down Syndrome. Our focus should not be on eradicating Down Syndrome from existence, but instead on promoting education and support for people with Down Syndrome and their families. I hope that someday, there will be no more misinformation about Down Syndrome.
What are your hopes for Sarah, as a person with Down Syndrome?
I hope that Sarah is, above all, treated as a person first. I do not want people to look at her and see a disability and discredit her. I hope that she is able to be a self-advocate, and that she will want to represent people with disabilities and spread the word to change people's viewpoints on Down Syndrome.

Vampire Academy is the first book in The Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead.
|If I let myself love you, I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you.
Synopsis Edit
St. Vladimir's Academy isn't just any boarding school – it's a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a dhampir, a bodyguard in-training for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi vampire princess. They've been on the run, but now they're being dragged back to St. Vladimir's – the very place where they're most in danger.
Guardian-in-training, Rosemarie "Rose" Hathaway, and royal-Moroi-princess, Vasilisa "Lissa" Dragomir, are forced back to their school, St. Vladimir's Academy, after running away two years ago. Upon their return, Guardian Dimitri Belikov, the leader of the guardians sent to track them down, is assigned to be Lissa's guardian. He offers to mentor Rose in extra classes, as he feels that she has potential and by working hard she can make up for the years she has lost. He also believes that Rose can be the ideal guardian for Lissa due to a rare, one-sided bond to Lissa which allows her to tap into the latter's emotions, thoughts and most importantly, her whereabouts. Rose agrees, conceding to the reality that this is the only way she will even have a chance to be appointed, on graduation, as Lissa's guardian.
Though they quickly fall into Academy life, they discover that Lissa has lost her social place among the elite Moroi, a consequence of Rose and Lissa running away. They decide to keep company with Lissa's "cousin," Natalie Dashkov, who is the daughter of the frail and dying Victor Dashkov. On the very first day back, they find that another Moroi student, Mia Rinaldi, is dating Lissa's ex-boyfriend, Aaron, and that she holds a grudge against Lissa. By default, she also dislikes Rose. Mia uses every opportunity to taunt Lissa, and is in turn insulted and threatened by Rose.
Lissa befriends Christian Ozera, a well-known Moroi who is negatively thought of due to his parents Lucas and Moira's reputation of becoming Strigoi willingly; this sparks worry from Rose who believes he is heading down the same path. It is also implied that Rose is jealous due to Lissa's interest in him, but Rose in turn starts falling for Dimitri. Things proceed to get worse after Lissa finds dead animals in her room and threatening letters written in blood. As a result, Lissa becomes depressed and engages in self-harm. It is also revealed that although Lissa still hasn't specialised in any of the four elements, she has a remarkable ability to heal, previously witnessed by Rose and Sonya Karp. They find out that Lissa has affinity for spirit, a rare element with negative side effects after use. This incident, coupled with her increasing depression, was what had caused Rose to run away with Lissa.
After Mia convinces Jesse and Ralf to spread the rumour that Rose slept with both of them and let them take her blood, Rose is regarded with a sense of horror. As revenge, Lissa uses compulsion to work her way back into her old group of friends, convincing them not to talk to Mia anymore. She eventually succeeds in winning Aaron back. Lissa also uses compulsion to convince people that Jesse and Ralf are lying. Rose later discovers from her friend, Mason, that Mia is from a very low class family and uses it against her.
During Sunday service, Rose hears that the saint, St. Vladimir, could heal people like Lissa and suffered from some form of depression. He was protected by his loyal guardian, the "shadow-kissed" Anna with whom he shared a bond. On returning from a shopping trip with Lissa, Natalie and Victor, Rose has an accident; when she wakes up, she is stunned to see that has made a miraculous recovery but quickly deduces that Lissa used spirit to heal her. She reaches into her bond and discovers that Lissa is lying in the attic of the church, bleeding from self-inflicted wounds. Her reporting Lissa's dangerous behaviour causes a fracture in their friendship. Lissa stops talking to Rose, believing she betrayed her, and so Rose loses all popularity she had gained.
Somehow discovering Lissa's depression, Mia tells everybody; this causes Rose to punch her and break her nose. Detained by teachers and guardians, Rose is unable to follow Lissa as she runs away in dismay. She reaches through the bond while confined to her room and finds that Christian is with her. He's knocked unconscious and Lissa is kidnapped by several guardians. Rose goes to tell Dimitri, but instead forgets upon seeing him and they end up almost making love. Dimitri takes a necklace from her: the one she received as a present from Victor. Rose suddenly remembers that Lissa is in danger when he throws it out the window. It is discovered that Victor infused it with a lust charm, causing them to act on their existing attraction.
Through the bond, Rose is able to lead a rescue party to Lissa's aid. She's forced to stay in the car whilst they go to storm the cabin. Rose sees Victor admit to Lissa that Natalie, acting upon his instruction, put the animals in her room and he intends to use her to heal him, as he is on the brink of death. He tells her that the bond she shares with Rose is because Rose died, but Lissa brought her back.
Rose discovers that Christian has stowed away in the car in an attempt to rescue Lissa himself. They run towards the cabin as Lissa compels a guard to stay silent as she escapes. Rose and Christian are confronted by psi-hounds and Christian's mauled to the brink of death. Lissa, unable to find the strength to heal him, is forced to drink Rose's blood and then is able to save him, upon doing so, realising she loves him.
Later, when Rose visits a locked up Victor, he confesses all about the lust charm and tells her that Dimitri lied when he said he felt nothing for her. Rose is confronted by Natalie, now Strigoi, who turned Strigoi in order to save Victor from his cell. Dimitri arrives and stakes her.
As Christian and Lissa begin dating and Mia regains her social status, Rose confronts Dimitri, demanding to know why he lied about his feelings. He tells her that he does love her but they can't be together, both because of the age difference and the fact that they will both be Lissa's guardians one day and must devote their attention to her; or else he would save Rose before her.

Several years ago I wrote an article declaring that content is dead and community is king. What's most interesting about the article is that it contains zero references to Facebook and Twitter, two of the largest online communities today.
While content certainly isn't dead, the passing years have really proven the value of community engagement. This is no more obvious than the invention of Google+, Google's latest attempt to get into the social community business.
I recently published an article about how you can win anything with engagement, which explores how search engines are now looking to community engagement as a metric in the algorithms. Essentially, what we are seeing is a merging of content and community into one, where social engagement is the content and the messenger all at the same time.
Both content and the message platform - which can include SEO and ads, as well as social media - are very important to the success of your online marketing efforts. But social media is more than just pushing content, it is actively creating content in small, digestible chunks. Or, as old people like to call it: communicating.
Being involved in a community online is just like being involved in a community or group offline. The only difference is, well, one is online and the other isn't. And, like any group you belong to, communication is the key to being a healthy member of that community. It's the sharing of thoughts and ideas and the ability to make connections with people through similar interests, histories, desires and plans.
Online communities are a way to build relationships with people you wouldn't otherwise be able to. And while you can use social media to push your content to the masses, that should not be the bulk of your community communications.
Imagine being a part of a group and each time there is one person there who only talks about what's important to them. They step up on their soapbox, declare their point of view and then sit down without ever really listening much to what anybody else had to say.
I belonged to a business networking group like this once. Everyone was there to promote themselves so nobody really cared about what everyone else was promoting. They wanted to get their spiel in and that was it. The group was a dud. If people only want to sell and never want to engage, nobody gets anything.
Building your online communities works the same way. You have to engage. You have to participate. And above all, you have to listen. There is nothing wrong with your content, but focus on becoming a part of the community so people actually care about your content.
If content is king, it can be a bully. It's all about itself. However, when you let community be king of your content, you can then focus on building community engagement, which encourages people to read your content. When community comes first, it uses content as a tool rather than a weapon. Tools fix things. Weapons, not so much.
Focus on community. Make it king over your content and use both content and community to build your social presence that people engage with. Engagement in social eventually leads to engagement in sales - without having to do much selling.

Officially opened in May 2014, the Edinburgh tram system allows visitors and locals alike to get to and from Edinburgh Airport more smoothly than ever before – and it's very handy for the Royal Scots Club as well. It is only 600 yards from the tram's St Andrew Square stop to The Royal Scots Club's front door on Abercromby Place – very much walking distance, even with suitcases!
The Edinburgh tram route travels 14km from Edinburgh Airport through the city to York Place, a great central location for enjoying the sights and sounds of the city. From St Andrew Square or York Place passengers can connect to bus and rail routes and can easily reach tourist attractions and commuter links.
The full tram journey takes approximately 40 minutes with trams benefiting from automatic priority at traffic lights, ensuring a speedier and more consistent journey than other modes of transport across the city.
Edinburgh Trams is a limited company that operates both the vehicles themselves and the route they run on. The City of Edinburgh Council wholly own the public company and it is also run as part of the Transport for Edinburgh Group which is also responsible for Lothian Buses.
The tram network is continually looking for new ways to adapt and innovate and just in the last few weeks they have announced that bicycles will soon be allowed on their trams as a trial run. For easy access to the city from the airport and to get around with ease, the trams provide another convenient and cost effective option.
Directions (on foot) from the Edinburgh Trams' St Andrew Square stop to Royal Scots Club
- Alight the tram at the St Andrew Square stop
- Walk north (in the same direction as you were travelling) along the side of St Andrew Square. This road becomes North St Andrew Street.
- Cross over the busy road (Queen Street/York Place) and continue straight on down Dublin Street.
- Take the first road on the left, Abercromby Place
- Royal Scots Club is on the right hand side (after the junction with Nelson Street, before the junction with Dundas Street)
Estimated journey time is 6 minutes.

This building, constructed in 1910, was designed by Rogue Valley
architect Frank Chamberlain Clark and has strong associations with
H. G. Enders, an influential Ashland businessman who operated the
largest mercantile establishment between Sacramento and Portland
here in the period 1910 to 1928. Upon the death of H. G. Enders
in 1928, local businesses closed the day of his funeral. Clark began
his architectural practice in Ashland in 1903. While in a previous
job in New York he was responsible for the architectural details
of Madison Square Garden. Ashland's first concrete commercial building,
the Enders Building has "Chicago" style characteristics very different
from the usual vernacular brick of its period. Its construction
marked the shift in commerce away from the traditional town center
in the mill area around the Plaza. Upon completition, it was the
largest building of its kind in Southern Oregon and for many years
was the largest mercantile establishment between Sacramento and
The Enders Building was an early example of the department store
concept with fire doors between each shop providing an interior
walkway through the long structure, while outer doors to each shop
opened off Main Street. These shops included men's clothing and
furnishings, ladies ready-to-wear and dress goods, a 15-cents store,
a music department, a restaurant and confectioners, hardware and
sporting goods, and a grocery. Passengers from the morning train
stopping in Ashland often shopped there and returned home on the
later train. Today the individual shopkeepers maintain the Enders
Building as an example of Ashland's continuing prosperity. The second-floor
Columbia Hotel, the only surviving hotel from this period, continues
to flourish today.
The Enders Building is located at 250-300 E. Main St. The stores
and eating establishments that now occupy the building are open
to the public during normal business hours. The Columbia Hotel which
occupies a portion of the building can be reached at 1-800-718-2530.

"Morning Joe" had as guests this morning both Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL) and Rep. John Shaddeg (R-AZ). These are two of the more thoughtful, reasonable Congressional members of either party. What struck me, though, is the formulation of economic policy that they were putting forth.
Rep. Shaddeg was being asked one of the media's favorite questions these days, namely, why it is that extending unemployment benefits has to be "paid for," but extending the Bush-era tax cuts does not. The response — predictable from either party — was that this was all about jobs. Shaddeg made the point that unemployed people don't spend those unemployment benefits; they hold on to the money for as long as they can. Rep. Schock's contribution was that the unemployed don't hire people, business owners do.
To me, this is a complete distortion of economic reality. Of course business owners do the hiring, but why do they hire? They hire for one reason and one reason only: they need the workers to meet the demand for their goods or services. Certainly not because their taxes are lower (or higher). Where does the demand for goods and services come from? From consumer spending, mostly. Create more consumers, or increase the spending of the consumers we have, and demand goes up… and then hiring goes up. It's pretty simple really. Except somehow it confounds the Washington crowd.
I am not making the case for or against extending unemployment benefits, nor the case for or against extending tax cuts. My point is that we will never get economically sound policy out of Congress if our elected representatives continue to put forth economic nonsense as the basis for policy.
Put very simply, we have to choose between more job creation or more debt reduction, at least in the short run. Republicans have come into town promising both. That's nonsense. Those two policy aims, each important and valuable in its own right, work at cross purposes, at least in the short run. Pick one. You want job creation? Then extend unemployment benefits and extend the tax cuts — but be honest and tell the American people that it is necessary to raise deficits in the short term to stimulate those jobs. You want debt reduction? Then cut off the unemployment benefits and let the tax cuts expire — but be honest and tell the American people that job creation will suffer in the short run.

This fifth-wheel trailer hitch hauls trailers up to 15,000 lbs and features a rounded slide bar on a 4-way-pivoting head to ensure easy and secure trailer hookup. Hitch height adjusts from 13" to 17" to match your trailer's height.
Note: This fifth-wheel trailer hitch will not fit trucks with beds shorter than 6' unless used with a Sidewinder. It will also not fit trucks with flareside/stepside beds.
This fifth-wheel trailer hitch features a 4-way-pivoting head to provide a full range of motion for easy trailer hookup. The fifth wheel can be easily removed by one person - simply remove two pins and two clips.
The fifth-wheel head securely grabs your trailer king pin with a rounded-slide-bar, single-jaw mechanism. The slide bar offers excellent load management and a smooth ride.
The rounded slide bar is operated by a 3/4" diameter handle with a cushioned grip that makes slide-bar operation more comfortable. The bar handle includes an integrated tab that is lockable with included padlock. Using a padlock secures your trailer to the hitch. Fifth-wheel pull-pin lock plates (RP58093; sold separately) can be used to secure the hitch to the truck.

Today we are going to show you the Pro Series line of fifth wheel hitches. The Pro Series family of fifth wheels is a great way for people new to the fifth wheeling hobby to get into it without investing a whole lot of money. They are also a nice fit for a budget conscious fifth wheel tower. The Pro Series fifth wheel hitches are available in 15000 15K, 16000 16K, and 20000 20K pound capacities. All of these hitches include the basic functions and features needed to properly tow a fifth wheel trailer. 00:26
First up is the Pro Series 15K pound head. This head features a four-way pivot both front to back and the top plate goes side to side. The side to side pivot allows a full five degrees for easy hook up even on uneven ground. The 15K Pro Series also uses a less expensive slide bar stop to lock the king pin into the head. Next we have the Pro Series 16K head. This head is a fully floating head that provides plenty of movement side to side and front to back. This will help the fifth wheel track easier when traveling and it also makes hook up very easy. It features the same slide bar latching mechanism as the 15K but it features a fully floating head. The fully floating head will allow the fifth wheel to track a little bit easier, make hooking and unhooking the trailer easy. 01:16
Finally we have the Pro Series 20K pound head. Again the head is fully floating but this time with the increased capacity we also use double locking jaws. The double locking jaws provide more contact around the king pin and will help reduce noise. It also features a lockable latch. The latch allows you to secure and lock the jaws to prevent them from coming open when traveling. The Pro Series family of fifth wheel hitches uses traditional above bed fifth wheel rails to attach to the truck. The height of the head is adjustable from 13 to 17 inches. This includes a three year warranty. There is also a Pro Series slider kit available part number RP30092. The Pro Series family of hitches includes a 15K pound hitch part number PS30093, a 16K pound hitch part number PS30089, as well as a 20K pound hitch part number PS30119.
Average Customer Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars (58 Customer Reviews)This fifth-wheel trailer hitch hauls trailers up to 15,000 lbs and features a rounded slide bar on a 4-way-pivoting head to ensure easy and secure trailer hookup. Hitch height adjusts from 13" to 17" to match your trailer's height.
I recently ordered a fifth wheel hitch for my families new fifth wheel camper. When I received the order I was missing the head of my fifth wheel hitch. I called etrailer with in minutes. After sitting on hold for 20 minutes I was finally able to talk to someone. I explained to them what I was missing and the were sorry but were not willing to take the blame for not shipping my part. After talking to numerous people and then manager, all I wanted was for them to make their mistake right by overnight me the part that they forgot to ship but it was clear they were not going to go out of their way to satisfy me as a customer. I explained to them numerous times that this hitch was time critical because of a family vacation (with new camper) starting monday morning. After being on the phone for an hour trying to get this figured out I had to bite the bullet and pay the 2 day shipping on the part to get it to my door in time for my family trip. I will never work with etrailer again. 421297

It's great easy assembly I haven't used it yet but it's what I asked for 426173
The fifth wheel hitch I bought arrived right on time and was very simple to install. I put it to work the next morning and it performed perfectly. Thanks, etrailer! 425648
The hitch is not the quality I expected. It is not a good replacement for my old RBW which 3/4 bolts this one has 1/2 inch bolts instead and some more little items. The hitch came right on time. the boxes were torn pretty bad but nothing missing. The install was simple and easy to do. One last thing the hitch plate is either clear forward or clear down on the back making it hard get the right clearance to hook up. Would I buy this hitch again? I will say yes I would. 396336
Works just fine. easy to use and does the jobVern W - 06/19/2018
I just finished test fitting all the components of the system and found it very easy and enjoyable. The only problem I noticed was the packaging was far from robust enough to handle the product. Three of the four box's were severely damaged and were only held together by a mass amount of packing tape which made opening tough. I should have taken pictures my mistake, but wanted too make sure all components were present and accounted for which they were. Great system and was a pleasure to deal with, thanks for the great product and will sent pictures when installed in truck... 391531
Excellent!! 380564
Lacking in quality .Built light duty ma terials. 369890

Got my order in two days. Would like to say that every time I've order some thing it's bend every prompt delivery . If I need any thing else they will be the first company I will call. 350112
We chose the no drill option. Installation was DIY at my works shop. Went in extremely easy. No headaches or issues. We've been using the hitch since November 2016 and have towed across the country so far, racking up north of 5k+ miles as of this review. It met our needs, and seems well built. If you need a good value hitch to tow 15k lbs or less and don't want to drill, this is the hitch to get. 340167
I want to say that etrailer.com is the cats meow. Place your order and within a couple hours you receive notification of shipment. Truly the [other site] of trailer parts. This is not the first time for me to purchase items from etrailer, and I am very please with their operation. As far as the 5th wheel hitch goes, it is a nice piece of equipment. The only problem I've had is the instructions. Unless you have installed one of these things before, it is very challenging to understand which way to install the brackets and sort out which way the dish shaped washers go. Just leaves you scratching your head. I finally found a youtube, other than the one etrailer has, that helped me to understand how to go about installation. Other than that, many thanks to etrailer and how you operate! 331937
Ian was very helpful in helping me select the parts I needed He was very knowledgeable and professional Thank you 333021
After a year of use i have had not one problem with this product. A great product from great people, keep up the great job. 329182

Product arrived in 5 days very quick shipping to Oregon. Everything was in great shape and should do the job. However had to read instructions a few times before toatally understood them. Easy to put together videos helped alot. However a 17/32" drill bit is required. I could not aquire one locally, had to order one and am waiting for it to arrive to finish installing. 236905
Very nice very well built product we are very happy with our purchase. 212557

Works great only down fall is a bit harder if the ground is not level same goes for disconnecting . Thank youCalvin S - 05/10/2015
Price is what made this product great. The best part was your youtube installation video for my application. It made it so simple compared to the mfg generic instructions. The only fault I found was the video used conical washers through out and the mfg only supplied 6 and the rest was flat washers. Really no big deal but I have this curse, I am a perfectionest. 63033
Great customer service. Easy install. Seems to operate fine with my 14k trailer. 54732
No problems, fit was perfect, easy to assemble, works great! 54341

After a sexual assault you may feel confused and alone. You can call a 24-hour hotline and they will respond through a 24-hour hospital emergency room and police station. If you choose to report your sexual assault you don't need to go through the procedures alone, a friend, relative or rape crisis center advocate will accompany you for support.
Going to an emergency room will provide immediate medical attention. At the emergency room they will respond to both the physical trauma the survivor experienced and the process to collect evidence incase you decided to report the assault to law enforcement.
Things to remember when going to the emergency room after the hospital after the assault are:
Things that may not show up right after the sexual assault are sexual transmitted diseases and pregnancy. All women within childbearing age are recommended to get a pregnancy test done at the hospital. If you are concerned about pregnancy and would like to use an emergency contraceptive drug to prevent the pregnancy, you may ask your health care provider. This must be done within 72 hours of the assault. If you are concerned about contracting a STD have the doctor give you a preventative medicine during the exam.
Sexual assault is a crisis, and every person will handle it in a different way. Remember that whatever feelings you are experiencing are not unusual and you are not alone.
Talking to someone who understands can help you to sort out the emotions you are feeling. A rape crisis center counselor can help you gain a perspective on your situation. Your loved ones can receive counseling as well.
