Housing Benefit - Backdated Claims
If you haven't made your claim for housing benefit on time, you can write to ask us to consider backdating it to when you first needed it.
We will always give consideration to the effect that missing housing benefit would have in terms of creating hardship.
If you are of a pensionable age you could have your claim backdated for up to 3 months. If you are of working age your claim could be backdated up to 6 months. You must have a good reason for not claiming earlier and you must have been entitled to housing benefit for the period the backdating will cover. You will also need to provide original proofs relating to the backdated period.
There could be many good reasons for you not having made your claim earlier. This is not a full list, but it gives you an idea of some things we can consider:
You may not have been able to claim because:
- You were ill
- You were in hospital
- You had a family crisis
- You were unavoidably away from home
- You thought you didn't need to claim. please tell us why
- You were advised not to claim. please tell us who advised you
- You thought you were not allowed to claim or would not get benefit. please tell us why
- You didn't understand you could claim, for example, because of
- Your age
- Your experience of the system
- Language difficulties
- Difficulty in understanding documents, or
- Another reason – please tell us what
There are special rules and regulations which apply to backdating your benefit. Please view and complete the form at the bottom of this page to apply.
Yes. You can ask for a Discretionary Housing Payment to help pay your rent. Please complete the Discretionary Housing Payments form which is located at the bottom of this page.
You can also apply for a Council Tax Support Discretionary Fund payment to help towards your Council Tax. You will need to complete the appropriate claim form found on our Council Tax Support page.
Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, giving details of the letter you require.
Please note that this email address cannot accept email with attachments - if you need to provide further information, please copy and paste it into the body of your email.
Housing Benefit (including Local Housing Allowance) is a means tested benefit and your tenant may not be entitled to benefit covering the full contractual weekly or monthly rent. If the rent level stated on the benefit notification letter does not match the contractual rent you charge, you can make further enquiries by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are awaiting notification of an award of housing benefit following a new application you should receive this within 14 days. This is providing that you:
- Answered all the questions on the claim form;
- Signed the claim form in all places you were asked to; and
- Have supplied all of the proofs required.
If you have previously received a payment and payments have now stopped without an explanation, then please contact us at email@example.com so that we can investigate. .
Please note that it can take up to 5 working days from the date the payment is issued to when it is credited to your account. If you have still not received the payment at this time please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You will need to tell us immediately as it could affect your eligibility or the amount you receive. You can do this by using the online change in circumstances facility.
If your tenant is receiving housing benefit payments direct and falls in arrears, please report it to us straight away. We will then usually send any further housing benefit payments directly to you or the agent.
If we do not feel that you should receive these payments direct, we can refuse to make them or withhold benefits while an investigation takes place. To recover the arrears you would have to pursue the tenant. This may involve taking enforcement action against them.
If you are considering taking enforcement action against your tenant, please contact us at email@example.com.

Who we are: The Student Government Association is the representative body of Ithaca College students. We function as a liaison between the student body and the administration. When the administration is seeking the opinions of students in order to make an important decision, they turn to the SGA.
What we do: We make formal recommendations to the administration based on things we have been hearing from our peers. The administration does not only turn to us but we also take your views and perspectives directly to them for consideration.
How to get involved: Meetings are held every Monday night in the Taughannock Falls meeting room on the third floor of Campus Center. They begin at 7:30pm and are open to the public.
Recent News:
The current Ithaca College SGA Executive Board was notified within the last hour about the resignation of our Vice President of Business and Finance. Just as this is a recent development for the student body; this is also recent news to the Executive Board, the Senate and our Advisor. We ask that student organizations that have immediate questions regarding the Appropriations Committee please contact email@example.com.
Although this is a significant change in leadership, one thing has not changed… The Executive Board is still committed to providing a professional experience for student organizations during the allocation process. The Appropriations Committee is one of our opportunities to meet with students and hear about their work and passions on our campus. We will strive in the coming weeks to hear your concerns. We are still committed to the guidance of the student voice in all of our decisions—and will do so when finding a new Vice President of Business and Finance to join our team. Our Executive Board feels incredibly privileged to serve this community. It is our service not our titles that compel us to do this work. During this academic year, we have every intention on fulfilling the promises we made to the Ithaca College community last spring.
Thank you for your patience during this transition.

Corruption has long been identified as an obstacle to development, and 'cost of doing business' in many countries. This course examines theories, causes and consequences of corruption, and select regimes established to combat and measure it, e.g., UN Convention Against Corruption, OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index.

Currently, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates industrial chemicals through a statute called the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). In May 2013, the U.S. Senate introduced a bipartisan bill that would update TSCA. Please help PCRM ensure that this legislation becomes a launch pad for better methods—techniques that rely on modern cell-based tests instead of animals.
The Senate bill, the Chemical Safety Improvement Act of 2013, S. 1009, includes principles to replace and reduce animal-based test methods and to increase the use of information from human-based and mechanistic tools such as:
- compelling the EPA to reduce the use of animals in chemical testing using strategies recommended by testing reform advocates;
- directing the EPA to fund research into nonanimal methods, including those recommended by the National Academy of Sciences; and
- giving the EPA the flexibility to tailor testing requirements to the chemical in question, which allows nonanimal tests to be used and avoids superfluous animal tests.
However, the bill did not go far enough. PCRM is calling for a requirement for the use of nonanimal test methods where reasonably and practicably available. Such a requirement is crucial to the rapid development and uptake of new methods and the continued improvements in toxicity testing policy that offer superior protection for public health and the environment.
Read more about what PCRM is calling for in the fact sheet titled Principles for a Modernized Chemicals Policy.
Use the links on the right side of this page to learn more.
"As a physician, I know we need research but think our current reliance on animal tests is outdated, bad science. All animals are similar in that they all feel pain and are capable of fear and suffering, but it is well known that except for that similarity, many react quite differently to chemical substances. I, therefore, think that reliance on animal testing risks having a false sense of security with some harmful substances and false worries over others. That fact plus my deepest conviction that animals are not test tubes and deserve humane care makes me want to do everything I can to try to bring chemical testing into the 21st century with less cruelty and better science." - Marge P., Massachusetts Share why you are concerned about animal testing here> Read more personal testimonials against animal testing here> |

First off - thank you for all the kind wishes you extended to my friend. It's clear that most of us have been affected by issues with neurological disorders - either ourselves or someone we love. I hope that we can all continue to be open and frank about the reality of those issues because I think that is what will bring the most healing and help in those difficult situations.
Second - thank you so much for the kind quilt love! I have to be honest - I wondered if anyone would even like this quilt because in my mind, it was rushed and imperfect. So thank you for the lovely boost to my self-esteem.
in downloadable .pdf format.
- The finished quilt measures 61" x 82". (Would be very simple to make bigger by adding borders or additional blocks.)
- This quilt is definitely falls in the "amaze and astound your friends category" because it's very simple to put together; it only looks much more complicated than it really is.
- This pattern is Charm Pack friendly - you don't need a huge stash to achieve the multi-fabric look.
- Solids require about 2 yards each of a dark and light fabric. Details in the pattern.
Many thanks again for your encouragement. I don't know if I would have had the guts to go forward with this whole pattern business with out it. Thanks also to Quilt Story for featuring this quilt and its story this week.

the history. [ divine birth dipicted in ancient Egyptian history some
2700 -5000 years prior to the biblical account of Christ ] see Horus .
I think this line is worth exploring , so we can focus and evolve together .
The Egyptian system is god with us..a god we can see. All religions including Roman Catholicism follow this template and also bring about the fruit which naturally accompanies them. Deadness and inertness. Communism is just a variation of this under anti god gnostic rationalism. Just more wise men...intelligentsia trying to pass itself off as good sense. It is none of these. In Communism you just trade the Priest /Kings paradigm for a committee of Gnostic wise men.
And Politics is just a variation of this ancient system returning to its roots.
All these systems ..even the Egyptian system are Priest /Kings systems of gods we can see. This is why the leaders were often god men..which is why they were often addressed as "Lord..or My Lord." "Your Grace" et al.
Even the Tsars were the protectors of the faith...so too with the kings and queens of England..et al.
All trying to give an air of legitimacy to their reigns.
All of these systems are of a dual feudal type and nature. A set of standards for the peons and another for Royalty.
In everything in peoples daily lives.
These are also systems having their history in the Ancient Occult Mystery Religions. Any books on the Ancient Mystery religions will mention Ancient Egypt...and continue on to other religions...any religion but Christian.
I do not "Travel to the East" Ricardo..up seven steps.....but I know what it means ...in many things..from the Ancient times unto the present. There is a pattern of operation here for those who know the history. And it can be followed from the Garden of Eden unto the present.
What you are talking about here Ricardo ..to people who know the pattern and history ...is two different spirits..from two different religions.
One religion and spirit...from the religion of this world..Ishmael..comes in a multitude of different forms and appearances..but it is the same spirit/spirits behind it...always.
The other religion and Spirit..comes in only one form and appearance...and it is the same Spirit behind it...always.

The Ohio State Lima Department of Theatre presents the spring semester production ofThe Foreigner. Set at a fishing lodge in rural Georgia, The Foreigner centers around "Froggy" LeSeuer, a British demolition expert and his friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So "Froggy," before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really begins, as Charlie overhears more than he should - the evil plans of a sinister, two-faced minister and his redneck associate; the fact that the minister's pretty fiancee is pregnant; and many other damaging revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn't understand a word being said. That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the "bad guys," and the "good guys" emerge triumphant.

Queering Christ: Beyond Jesus Acted UpIn his latest book, Goss compiles a decade of his writing as a queer Christian theologian and shares his queering of four areas: sexuality, the Christ, the Bible, and theology, which form the quadrants of his own spirituality that aim at the queer reconstruction of Christianity and reflect a life that aims to integrate the depths of spirituality and sexuality with a practice of justice. Many aspects of the work are guaranteed to be highly controversial in both the LGBT and straight communities. |

Klein was part of the holy trinity of the stand-up pantheon - along with George Carlin and Richard Pryor - of the post-Beatles era. That rock n roll consciousness proved crucial to the changes the three comedians wrought on what had become a tired, Borscht Belt-and-vaudeville-derived art form.
Klein, Carlin and Pryor were all figurative offspring of the late, pioneering Lenny Bruce, who blasted boundaries with his free-associative comedy, winding up as a free-speech martyr and improv god. Robert Klein hit the main seam, taking observational comedy to new heights by finding the humor in everyday things, whether it was a trip to the dentist or life in high school in the nuclear age. Robert Klein was talking to us: the baby-boom generation that had screamed for the Beatles, postured with the Rolling Stones, grooved to The Mod Squad.
It's hard to overestimate how fresh and unexpected Klein's comedy seemed when he first appeared on television. His observational humor - brash, intelligent, edgy without being confrontational - provided a role model for a generation of comedians that followed: Richard Belzer, Billy Crystal, Richard Lewis, Jerry Seinfeld. His first album, Child of the 50s, became a kind of Bible for the comedically-inclined who were following in his footsteps.
Klein came from theater: Yale Drama School, to be exact. A Bronx native who graduated high school at 16 and college at 20, he quit Yale because he thought he could make it as an actor in theater in New York. Not quite; but then he auditioned for Second City and spent 14 crucial months learning and performing in Chicago, before returning to New York and Mike Nichol's musical, The Apple Tree.
After the curtain fell on Broadway each night, Klein would rush to the Improvisation, the pioneering comedy club on West 44th Street, where he'd absorb the master class in comedy being conducted by Rodney Dangerfield. Dangerfield saw potential in the good-looking, gangly Klein and took the eager would-be comic under his wing, helping to find him management and to launch his career with a Tonight Show appearance in 1968.
By 1975, when the first of the HBO concerts in this set aired, Klein was king, established as a comic wonder on variety and talk shows and working as an actor, while recording comedy albums. His first HBO appearance was also a first for HBO: its first live comedy concert, a show that set new benchmarks for audacity and language, demonstrating that the sparks that are struck during live performance can be felt through the medium of cable television.
It's hard to think of a comic who has had the staying power and longevity that Klein has. As this boxed-set shows, he has always been a clear-eyed observer of the world around him, willing to yell Bullshit! in a crowded theater as much out of a sense of personal outrage as to get a laugh.
More than 30 years after that first HBO special, Klein still knows how to cock a knowing eyebrow at the foibles and follies of his time. Older now, he is the parent of an adult son, but has resisted turning into his own parents. Still irreverent, still bitingly intelligent, his comedy remains fresh and telling. He was a child of the 50s - and then a child in his 50s - and now he is a citizen of the 21st Century. And still a damned funny one.

Documents from Historic 1970 MLK Game Preserved in Cooperstown
As the nation and world pauses to honor the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, the baseball world can reflect on a landmark exhibition game played to honor Dr. King in 1970.
The manuscripts and artifacts from that largely unremembered game remain alive in the archives at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
In December of 1968 – just eight months after Dr. King was slain in Memphis, Tenn. – a plan was put forth by Southern Christian Leadership Conference executives to hold an all-star baseball game at on March 29, 1969 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, proceeds from which would further the work of Dr. King.
The SCLC was founded by Dr. King and other civil rights activists in 1957 and led by Dr. King until his death.
According to documents in the Hall of Fame archive, the SCLC mapped out details of the game, which was expected to net $163,788. Minutes from organizational meetings as well as hand-written notes can be found among the hundreds of documents from the event in Cooperstown, including correspondence between SCLC leaders and baseball executives such as Commissioner Bowie Kuhn and future Hall of Famer Monte Irvin, who was working for the Office of the Commissioner.
Documents indicate that the game was postponed until March 28, 1970 due to organizational challenges – and in the meantime the SCLC helped host an all-star basketball game at the Spectrum in Philadelphia featuring players like Wilt Chamberlain, Earl Monroe and Oscar Robertson.
But the baseball game played on March 28, 1970 set a standard for similar all-star games that might never be eclipsed. Among the future Hall of Famers on the field that day for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial All-Star Baseball Classic were Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Johnny Bench, Jim Bunning, Rod Carew, Orlando Cepeda, Roberto Clemente, Bob Gibson, Reggie Jackson, Ferguson Jenkins, Al Kaline, Harmon Killebrew, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Ron Santo, Tom Seaver and Willie Stargell. The teams were managed by Joe DiMaggio and Roy Campanella, and the coaches included Larry Doby, Sandy Koufax and Stan Musial.
A crowd of 31,694 watched the East defeat the West 5-1 behind three innings of shutout ball apiece from Seaver and Gibson. Entertainer Bill Cosby held a pregame reception for the all-stars, and Jackie Robinson was in attendance at the game.
The game was not repeated in following years, but Major League Baseball revived the concept in 2007 with the introduction of the annual Civil Rights Game.
Meanwhile, historic documents of the game dedicated to Dr. King – including mock-ups of tickets, internal league correspondence and even a program from the game – are available to researchers at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. For information, please email email@example.com.

You had surgery to treat your gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is a condition that causes food or liquid to come up from your stomach into your esophagus (the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach).
Your surgeon probably repaired a hiatal hernia with stitches. A hiatal hernia develops when the natural opening in your diaphragm is too large. Your diaphragm is the muscle layer between your chest and belly. Your stomach may bulge through this large hole into your chest. This bulging is called a hiatal hernia. It may make GERD symptoms worse.
Your surgeon also wrapped the upper part of your stomach around the end of your esophagus to create pressure at the end of your esophagus. This pressure helps prevent stomach acid and food from flowing back up.
Your surgery was done by making a large incision in your upper belly (open surgery) or with a laparoscope (a thin tube with a tiny camera on the end).
Most patients go back to work 2 - 3 weeks after laparoscopic surgery and 4 - 6 weeks after open surgery.
You may have a feeling of tightness when you swallow for 6 - 8 weeks. This is from the swelling inside your esophagus. You may also have some bloating.
When you get back home, you will be drinking a clear liquid diet for 2 weeks. You will be on a full liquid diet for about 2 weeks after that, and then a soft-food diet after that.
On the liquid diet:
When you are eating solid foods again, chew well. Do not eat cold foods. Do not eat foods that clump together, such as rice or bread. Eat small amounts of food several times a day instead of 3 big meals.
Your doctor will give you a prescription for pain medicine. Get it filled when you go home so you have it when you need it. Take your pain medicine before your pain becomes too severe.
Walk several times a day. Do NOT lift anything heavier than 10 pounds (about the same as a gallon of milk). Do NOT do any pushing or pulling. Slowly increase how much you do around the house. Your doctor will tell you when you can increase your activity and return to work.
Take care of your wound (incision):

How to draw and label landmarks (United Kingdom)
This information is obsolete and the active links to this page are being reviewed for disconnection or replacement. |
CAUTION: This page covers the the now redundant 'Landmarks' functionality which has been superseded by 'Places'. Editors are encouraged to read the 'UK Guidelines' instead of this page.
For more information and to follow the discussion of the new standards as they evolve please refer to this forum thread or you can PM me.
This forms part of UK Editing Best Practice. Editors are encouraged to follow these guidelines.
Only actual "Landmarks" should be mapped, i.e. those which help the driver to find their bearings.
For the purposes of searching for addresses or businesses, Waze gets its results from other providers (Bing, Google, foursquare), so it's not necessary to add them to the map as well.
Generally, landmarks should be drawn as simply as possible. Most structures can be represented by a basic rectangle. Do not attempt to accurately match the shape of a building or parking lot, as much of the detail will be lost on the client.
This class of landmarks is used to either label major junctions or suppress traffic reports where Wazers may be stopped/parked/waiting:
Major junctions, particularly on motorways, should be labelled with a landmark.
Under no circumstances should the road name or city name fields of a segment be used for naming of a junction.
The landmark should be kept tight to the road system to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding landmarks via Waze Map Editor, makes this process easier!
Complex shaped junction:
Roundabout based junction (See below also)
Large, freehand shapes should be avoided...
To aid navigation instructions, roundabout segments should typically remain unnamed. If the roundabout does have a proper, signposted name, then this can be labelled using a landmark of "Junction/Intersection" type that fills the centre of the roundabout. This only applies to big roundabouts that are larger than 30 metres.
The landmark should be kept tight to the roundabout to ensure a tidy transfer to the client. The "snap-to" feature, when adding landmarks via Waze Map Editor, makes this process easier!
- For further advice, see Editing Junctions and Roundabouts (United Kingdom)
Car Parks
Use the "Parking lot" landmark type. Include the main route through the car park using a Parking lot road type. Do NOT draw every single row within the car park.
Parking lot roads should not be named, as it looks better to have a label on the landmark instead, nor should they be assigned as a "Toll Road" as this is reserved for avoidance of toll fees to drive along a toll road in the client (e.g. the M6 Toll).
Public car parks, i.e. operated by the local council or NCP, should be labelled with [P]. Customer car parks for business should not be labelled this way, but may be drawn in. Names of the car parks do not need to be added, except for maybe some large, out-of-town ones.
Park and Ride can be labelled with [P+R] (same for bus, railway and metro).
Lay-bys should not be marked with a landmark, but should instead be mapped in accordance with the How to classify and name roads Wiki Page.
- See the main Best Practice for more on mapping parking lots
Petrol Stations
Correct mapping of petrol stations is vital for new Gas Price feature in Waze v3.2 for iOS and Android, which helps Wazers find the cheapest petrol station near them or on their route.
Petrol Stations should be mapped according to the following guidelines:
- A Landmark of "Gas Station" type should be placed over the entire forecourt, so it's visible on the map and prevents any Wazers from creating a false traffic report.
- Routes in and out should be mapped with roads of "Parking Lot Road" type, they should not be named (city name is optional) and they should have appropriate directions and turn restrictions.
- The landmark should be named appropriately (not just Petrol Station or Shell etc).
- The address should be added if known.
- The brand should be selected correctly. If the brand is not listed raise a support request.
- The phone number should be added if known.
The example below shows a properly mapped Petrol Station and can be found here:
Service Areas
Service Areas and Motorway Service Areas (MSA) should be mapped according to the following convention which uses a combination of different wiki entries:
- Slip Roads on and off the route should be mapped according to the wiki entry for Ramps (e.g. "M1 (N) Exit to Services" to enter the MSA and "Entry to M1 (N)" to leave the MSA).
- Use the Road type "Streets" for all through-roads (linking the ramps).
- Car Parks should be mapped according to the wiki entry for Parking Areas.
- Petrol Station forecourts should be mapped according to the wiki entry for Petrol Stations.
- Use the Road type "Private Road" for limited access roads (with no public right of way). Ensure that they are set to "Unknown" connectivity, and that turn restrictions are set so that no-one can turn into the road and the segment(s) and connecting segment(s) are locked to enforce the turn restrictions.
- Do not add a City or Street name to any road with the exception of the ramps.
- Add landmarks for the major buildings on site (i.e. Services Buildings etc).
A good example is the Strensham Services North on the M5 between J8 and J7. The currently selected segment in the link is the access road.
Note: To ensure that the turn restrictions are set on the limited access roads, select each junction node in turn and hit Q then W (if desired for other connectivity) to ensure that turns are only allowed on valid directions, then once you lock the segment(s) Waze should enforce the turn restrictions and not route the public down these roads.
For more information on how junction locking works in Waze see the forum thread: Modifying the lock option (and some explanations)
Miscellaneous landmarks
These can be used to make the map look pleasing to the eye but serve no purpose for search or navigation.
Woodland and forest areas should be mapped using the landmark type "Forest/Grove"
Water Features
- Rivers and canals should be mapped using the landmark type "River/Stream". Use the Street to River script for Greasemonkey to simplify river creation.
- Lakes and ponds should be mapped using the landmark type "Sea/Lake/Levee".
- Seas should also be mapped using the landmark type "Sea/Lake/Levee" but special care should be taken:
- Where a Sea borders two countries and it has different names, it should be split (e.g. English Channel/La Manche).
- If the landmark gets too large it will no longer be visible in the Waze Map Editor (though it will be visible in Cartouche) so multiple overlapping landmarks can be used.
There is no requirement to map every business in Waze as search results will be available from external search providers for navigation to retail/commercial sites.
Where supermarkets, restaurants, retail parks, shopping centres are of sufficient size (see below) to warrant mapping in Waze it should be the parking areas that are mapped and named appropriately for Wazers to drive to these locations.
When mapping these areas, the guidelines for Car Parks should be followed .
Public Service
Schools, Parks, Council Buildings, Hospitals, Tourist attractions and Churches etc can optionally be added to the map as a landmark of the appropriate type where they are of sufficient size to appear in the client (see below).
Landmarks types that should NOT be added to the Map
Landmarks smaller than about 1600m² (40m x 40m) won't appear on the client, so there's no point adding them to the map. (A standard build McDonald's with Drive-thru is approximately 1000m²)
It is not necessary to add individual businesses, as they are likely to change over time. Waze search results will be available from external providers and this negates the need to maintain landmarks within the editor.

Von Willebrand disease is the most common hereditary bleeding disorder .
Von Willebrand disease is caused by a deficiency of von Willebrand factor. Von Willebrand factor helps blood platelets clump together and stick to the blood vessel wall, which is necessary for normal blood clotting. There are several types of Von Willebrand disease.
A family history of a bleeding disorder is the primary risk factor.
Note: Most women with heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding do not have Von Willebrand disease.
Von Willebrand disease may be hard to diagnose. Low von Willebrand factor levels and bleeding do not always mean you have von Willebrand disease.
Tests that may be done to diagnose this disease include:
Treatment may include DDAVP (desamino-8-arginine vasopressin), a medicine to raise von Willebrand factor level and reduce the chances for bleeding.
However, DDAVP does not work for all types of von Willebrand disease. Tests should be done to determine what type of von Willebrand you have. If you are going to have surgery, your doctor may give you DDAVP before surgery to see if your von Willebrand factor levels increase.
The drug Alphanate (antihemophilic factor) is approved to decrease bleeding in patients with the disease who must have surgery or any other invasive procedure.
Blood plasma or certain factor VIII preparations may also be used to decrease bleeding.
Bleeding may decrease during pregnancy. Women who have this condition usually do not have excessive bleeding during childbirth.
This disease is passed down through families. Genetic counseling may help prospective parents understand the risk to their children.
Bleeding may occur after surgery or when you have a tooth pulled.
Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can make this condition worse. Do not take these medicines without first talking to your doctor or nurse.
Call your health care provider if bleeding occurs without reason.
If you have von Willebrand disease and are scheduled for surgery or are in an accident, be sure you or your family notify the health care providers about your condition.

Great job! I really loved the incorporation of various multimedia technology and interaction. I also like the questions. I personally ended up learning quite a bit the Great Leap Forward and some it was renewed again! You chose a very timely and intersting topic give China being in the news on a daily basis. It will good to incorporate answeres in your questions, specially when it says "not true" this way the student understands where the mistake occured.Technical Remarks:Not sure what is Diigo toolbar. You need to provide more information on this.

Well done. I really like the program you used and how it guided students through learning the material. The questions throughout were a great way to assess if student s were learning the material. It was good that you provided links to extra information for those interested. I love the variety of things you included--from a google survey to simple multiple choice questions. There was even an opportunity for free response.For each question, it would be great if you would provide the correct answer after your answer is recorded. Program said certain questions were "not true" but it would have been great to know what the actual answer really was. Also to make this StAIR more accesible, might be good to have more audio options for students that cannot read or struggle in this area. Also, I am not familiar with Diigo toolbar. The user would need more information before utilizing this part. Technical Remarks:As mentioned above, not familiar with Diigo toolbar. Needed more information about this program.

Who are you? Your best friends may think of you as silly or serious, shy or a real talker. Maybe your teachers think of you as a creative student, a good athlete, or someone who works hard or makes people laugh.
What we're talking about is your identity — who you are and the way you and others think about yourself.
You're always you, of course, but you probably have different identities depending on the situation or who you're with. For instance, at school you might keep a quiet profile and stay out of trouble. But at home, you might be known for your practical jokes and silly side.
If you use a phone, iTouch, or a computer to play games and chat with friends, you also have an online identity. That means you have an identity that's related to how you look, what you do, and what you say when you're using the computer. If you play on Club Penguin and put seven disco balls in your igloo, that says something.
Sites like Club Penguin, Disney Junior, and Webkinz let you create an avatar — a character that represents you. It's fun to dress up that character and maybe give it a sense of style you'd never try at school. Would you like silver hair or a wacky pair of shoes? It's yours at the click of a mouse.
Websites with games, chat, and messaging options also let you choose your own screen name. If you want to be known as King_of_Ketchup, that's your new name. Maybe your little sister will want to be the the Mayor_of_Mustard.
So if you start calling yourself the King of Ketchup, does that mean you really like ketchup? Should you tell your new online friends how much you love ketchup and all the foods you like to top with ketchup? That's up to you, but it brings up a good point: How much should you share about your real self online?
You may feel fine telling your best friends about your biggest crush, but what if the whole school could see your poem about your crush's beautiful eyes? What if strangers could see it? Or even worse, what if, as a joke, someone pretended to be your crush or your friends told you to fake somebody out and pretend to like them?
There are rules about being online -just like like there are rules about what you do and say in other places. It's important you learn the rules so you can play safely online.
Maybe you're allowed to use your phone to send texts or log in to YouTube to watch a video. These are two popular ways to communicate online. As you get older, you might get interested in Facebook and MySpace, two sites that are big with teens and parents. These sites have a minimum age (13 years) but many kids look at these sites before the age of 13. They're known as social networking sites because they let you network (talk to) your friends.
Social network sites let you create online identities through personal web pages. With that page, you can chat, share photos, play online games with friends, and tell people as much or as little about yourself as you want. Some people even report what they had for lunch!
If you're thinking about creating a page on one of these sites, talk with your mom or dad first. Neither site allows users younger than 13.
On Halloween it can be fun to pretend to be someone else. Maybe you're a mild-mannered kid but on Halloween you like to put on a witch's hat or the grossest monster mask you can find. That's OK because it's just one day and everyone knows it's for fun.
When you're using the computer, it can be tempting to use a screen name as a kind of mask. It might seem fun to play a joke on someone — by teasing the person or pretending to be someone else. Or maybe you're angry with someone and it's easier to say something rude if the person doesn't know it's you.
Just like in the real world, it's mean and hurtful to do stuff like that online. Even if you're only kidding, they might not know that you're only joking and they might be very hurt or angry by what you said. It's a lonely feeling when you don't know who's messing with you. Is it someone just being funny or does the person really mean it?
Whether they're strangers or friends, the rule is: Be Kind Online. Schools, teachers, and parents are all getting stricter about what is OK or not OK to send as a message on your phone or computer.
Here's a good test: If you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't say it to the person on the computer. And just like with regular bullying, tell a grownup if you know that someone is being hurt in this way.
If you're a kid who likes to have fun and chat with friends online, here's how you can stay safe and avoid problems:
Most parents tell their kids they're only allowed to be online friends with with people they already know (that is, actual friends). To stay safe, parents often track when their kids are online and what they are saying — at least for a while. Online, just like in the real world, it's better to be safe than sorry!

It's almost that time. The tempature is changing. The snow is melting. And Bon Temps is slowly making its way into view. True Blood Season 6 will soon be here.
But until June 16 is upon us, we'll survive on the few droplets of footage that HBO so graciously drops upon us, like this first teaser trailer (below) from the new season, which delivers flashes of our protagonist's fates heading into year six in supernatural Louisiana. Now that he's taken over the vampire goddess' role will Billith (Stephen Moyer) kill everyone? Will Sookie (Anna Paquin) fall into Eric's arms and give us a reason to care about her storyline again? Will Alcide (Joe Manganiello) take his shirt off? (Yes, duh.) Is Tara still angry? (Always.) Is that Warlow (the vampire who maybe killed Jason and Sookie's parents)? Does he have any idea what conditioner is?
RELATED: 'True Blood' Season Finale Recap: I'm Melting!
More importantly, what's the meaning of all these ominious voiceovers? "If the humans want war, we'll give them war," says Eric (Alexander Skarsgård). But "there's no one left to protect now," according to Nora. "The tyrant is rising. It is the beginning of the end," says some eerie voice we're assuming is adding Warlow into the Bill/Lilith bloody mix. And of course, none of that really matters because as Billith so joyfully decrees: "We're all gonna burn!" Who's ready for another summer of steamy vampire/werewolf/faerie/whatever else these writers can think up action?
RELATED: True Blood vs. Vampire Diaries
And because this short teaser is over far too quickly, we've conveniently stopped time (a few times) to bring you more lasting looks at Bon Temps' most interesting residents and their Season 6 whereabouts. It may not be June yet, but let's make these moments last as long as we can.
With Bill gone all bloody and evil, will Sookie end up with Eric? This snippet in which they seem to be stuck in an elevator (or at least a tiny room) might yield something steamy. (Please?)
Pam's in trouble again. Yep, those are lasers and we're assuming the bullets aren't your standard issue metal.
Jessica's pout is back in full effect. It looks like she might have caught wind of Bill's fate as she flees the Authority scene with Nora and Jason.
Tara is still pissed at Pam, her mother-lover, or is it lover-mother? (P.S. Is anyone surprised?)
Alcide is still allergic to shirts. Hey, werewolves run warm, okay?
From the looks of this mysterious character, we're dealing with Warlow, the could-be killer of Sookie's parents. Scraggly hair? Check. Wide-brimmed hat? Check. Vampire fangs sneakily peeking out of that beard? Check. And we're thoroughly terrified of this guy.
Jason is clearly still on the warpath (he can't even stop long enough to clean that blood off his face), but who's this old woman whose face he's holding a gun to?
In recent seasons, Lafayette has tended to have his own very separate story line, so whatever's going on in this shot, it's clear he's in trouble once again.
And finally, we have Billith, in all his psychotic glory. Of course, here's hoping his plan for mayhem stems beyond overtaking a circuit breaker.
