I agree with Colorado Cowboy, but it really depends on the terrain. I'm still young, so I would rather load a pack up if there are several hills or brush to get through. We have hauled entire deer out with two of us pushing/pulling the cart through fields and up and down fields several times. I would say use it if you can, but if the terrain is too steep its more of a hassle because gravity is constantly working against you and there is not way to hold the cart except with your energy. Going downhill on the other hand is awesome.
The trick is getting the cart balanced. Too heavy on the hands or down at the base of the cart and it is more work. Get the weight centered where it is easy to push and it is fantastic. It has taken us 4-5 deer to get the hang of it, but now that we do, we bring it on all of our hunts with our packs and decide after the animal is down which to use.
We bought a cheaper one (don't remember the brand) and but more expensive wheels on it than the stock ones. We bought bicycle tire type so they "float" a little easier. We found the solid rubber type sink in easier and are harder to get over sticks and logs than they inflatable type, but we also have the solid rubber ones at the truck... just in case.
All in all, I will continue to take our cart on all of our hunts no matter where we are going because you never know what you can use it for and most of them pack pretty nicely.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
Genesis 27:3 (NKJV)
single wheel will be easier on trails than the double. also play with the air pressure in tires. on bicycles in the mountains, hard tires bounce not roll over things.
I have a two wheel cart that works great. I am using a sled and it may be better in some places. I used the sled last hunt to get a large mule deer loaded. I use both in Nebraska. I can drag the sled with my Honda Fat Cat motorcycle. Sled is easy to load.
I've used a one wheel Pac 'Orse in the past. Works great on closed roads, but not much use cross country. I've loaded an entire 6 point elk on this cart, but it requires two people to control with this kind of load. I generally prefer to use a backpack instead of a cart, but the carts do have their place.
I have the standard 2 wheel cart, which can work great in the right situation.
There are 2 models out there I've seen that would be awesome!
one has 2 big wheels in line like a stretcher you'd see in an ambulance but it needs a guy up front and in rear but works awesome! you only have 1 path for the 2 wheels to follow... this guy I talked to with it, beat 2 guys out of the field with it. by himself.
another was more for backpacking it almost looked like a wheel barrow in reverse...1 wheel, it followed you... I think that might work well and be easy to maneuver.
I'd at least get one, even the decent cheap ones can be awesome and at least have it...
depending on your fitness, home state(altitude), carrying a backpack full of meat miles and miles could be a nightmare.
btw mine worked great on a couple of antelope a couple years back in WY and those are antelope!
good luck!
One thing to remember.....can't use any of them in wilderness areas, even on established trails.

Wilderness areas in general ban all wheeled vehicles, including game carts and bikes. As with everything, there are exceptions, but don't count on using a game cart in the wilderness.

In our November 2012 issue, writer Ariel Sabar reported from Rome on the reaction to King's discovery, both among the religious and academic communities. Read the full version of his report here.
From This Story
Related Content
Harvard Divinity School's Andover Hall overlooks a quiet street some 15 minutes by foot from the bustle of Harvard Square. A Gothic tower of gray stone rises from its center, its parapet engraved with the icons of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I had come to the school, in early September, to see Karen L. King, the Hollis professor of divinity, the oldest endowed chair in the United States and one of the most prestigious perches in religious studies. In two weeks, King was set to announce a discovery apt to send jolts through the world of biblical scholarship—and beyond.
King had given me an office number on the fifth floor, but the elevator had no "5" button. When I asked a janitor for directions, he looked at me sideways and said the building had no such floor. I found it eventually, by scaling a narrow flight of stairs that appeared to lead to the roof but opened instead on a garret-like room in the highest reaches of the tower.
"So here it is," King said. On her desk, next to an open can of Diet Dr Pepper promoting the movie The Avengers, was a scrap of papyrus pressed between two plates of plexiglass.
The fragment was a shade smaller than an ATM card, honey-hued and densely inked on both sides with faded black script. The writing, King told me, was in the ancient Egyptian language of Coptic, into which many early Christian texts were translated in the third and fourth centuries, when Alexandria vied with Rome as an incubator of Christian thought.
When she lifted the papyrus to her office's arched window, sunlight seeped through in places where the reeds had worn thin. "It's in pretty good shape," she said. "I'm not going to look this good after 1,600 years."
But neither the language nor the papyrus' apparent age was particularly remarkable. What had captivated King when a private collector first e-mailed her images of the papyrus was a phrase at its center in which Jesus says "my wife."
The fragment's 33 words, scattered across 14 incomplete lines, leave a good deal to interpretation. But in King's analysis, and as she argues in a forthcoming article in the Harvard Theological Review, the "wife" Jesus refers to is probably Mary Magdalene, and Jesus appears to be defending her against someone, perhaps one of the male disciples.
"She will be able to be my disciple," Jesus replies. Then, two lines later, he says: "I dwell with her."
The papyrus was a stunner: the first and only known text from antiquity to depict a married Jesus.

"Butch," a fifth-grader at Penn Yan Elementary School, didn't like reading.
But thanks to a three-week partner project where Keuka College students met one-on-one with schoolchildren to craft a personal story from the child's perspective, it wasn't long before he changed his mind. So says Butch's new buddy and personal "author," Keuka freshman Will Staub.
"Butch told me the first day he didn't like reading, then the next week he showed me this book he'd read," Staub described. In truth, it was more like Butch raced to Staub's side, book in hand, thrusting it into view and leaning forward in eager anticipation for the response.
Watching the interaction – and others like it across 17 such pairs of college and elementary students – were Dr. Jennie Joiner, assistant professor of English at Keuka, and fifth-grade teacher Terry Test, herself a 1973 Keuka graduate. The two teamed together, with support from elementary principal Edward Foote, to enable the collegiate "authors" to craft a three-page story from the perspective of each child selected from the joint classroom Test shares with team teacher Rebecca Morse.
The project, dubbed "Who is Penn Yan?," was the final assignment for Joiner's Literature in the Wider World course, a new introductory English course in Keuka's general education curriculum. The course was designed to highlight the focus the English program is placing on literature as the doorway to culture, society, community and more. Over the course of three weeks, each college student spent time getting to know his or her child, and ultimately, learning more about Penn Yan through the child's eyes or imagination.
The fifth-graders all chose character names for themselves and wore name tags to each session, where partners paired up, using whatever chairs, tables, floor space, gym mats, or window ledges were available to continue their conversations.
"Look at the dynamics of this," Test said, gesturing around the room at the pairs. "The 'I'm too cool to do this' vibe just shattered in the first second, and my students are real, being true to themselves. The energy is here on all sides. I'm so impressed at Dr. Joiner's scaffolding of this."
To say the children were thrilled would be an understatement. Some brought sketches, notebooks, origami, and more to share with their college author during the second and third sessions. A handful of boys could be seen half out of their seats, leaning forward to dialogue with their authors, while other children were seated more casually, body positions mimicking the college students taking detailed notes.
Watching from a few steps away each week, Test and Joiner were almost as excited as their students at the energy generated during the interactions, and the impact it had on student learning. By the end of the first week's session, when alerting everyone in the room that only two minutes were left on the clock, Joiner said she could tell the project was en route to success.
"Every student – big and little – turned around and went 'awww' in disappointment," Joiner said. "Some of my students who are not as vocal in class totally engaged with the children. It was just a cool thing."
Test said the impact on her fifth-graders was almost immediate. (more…)

Faustin Mafiya
this wiki
The Faustin Family was a Russian Mafia family in Liberty City and the second most powerful Russian family in the city after the Petrovic Family. They play a prominent role in Grand Theft Auto IV, which results in all leading members of the Faustin Family being killed by Niko Bellic.
They wear suits and sportcoats, often complementing with russian fur hats and aviator glasses, as opposed to the Petrovic Family, that wear cheap tracksuits and second-hand coats.
The Faustin Bratva, is a large family of Russian Mafia members, who seem to run in both Dukes and Broker. The family is headed by Pakhan Mikhail Faustin, an erratic and paranoid cocaine addict who lives in a mansion with his estranged wife and rebellious teenage daughter who was going out with Jason Michaels, a member of the Lost gang in Alderney. It would seem Faustin is a member of the Bratski Krug, or Circle of Brothers, a Russian version of the Italian-American Commission. Broker is run by one of the family's Brigadiers, Vladimir "Vlad" Glebov, a Russian loan-shark operating out of "Comrades" until he is executed by Niko Bellic.
Mikhail's orders for numerous hits on people for trivial matters draws unwanted attention from the law and upsets his partner, Dimitri Rascalov, who is angry that Mikhail has stopped following the unspoken rules of organized crime. Another Mafia family, the Petrovic Family, almost wage a full-scale war on the Faustin family when Lenny Petrovic, Underboss son of Pakhan Kenny Petrovic, is murdered on orders from Mikhail. This is averted when Dimitri secretly strikes a deal with Pakhan Kenny Petrovic to use Niko to kill Mikhail. Dimitri then assumes control of the Faustin family with his new partner, Ray Bulgarin, Niko's old boss in the human trafficking ring to whom Niko, supposedly, owes money to. The Faustin family under Dimitri and Bulgarin's new leadership betrays Niko and attempts to kill him. They then set fire to Niko and Roman's apartment and taxi depot, running the cousins out of Broker and Dukes.
After the death of Mikhail Faustin, Dimitri went independant, the Faustin Bratva was no more, adverting to the Rascalov Bratva.

Anthony Evans: A Different Kind of Voice
NBC's The Voice has become one of the top reality TV shows on television and singer Anthony Evans found a place on one of it's four teams. Read what he has to say about the show, his coach, and his beliefs!
Anthony Evans has been a lot of places in his life. The son of popular Christian orator and Pastor Tony Evans, Anthony has toured the world as a solo artist, worship leader, and a backing vocalist for Kirk Franklin. He never thought he would find himself on a reality television show but when The Voice called he answered. It's a good thing he did, because millions of new people have heard Anthony Evans including his coach on the show – Christina Aguilera. We caught up with Anthony to discuss his coach, the impact that the show is having on his life, what it's like to be a Christian on a hit secular show. Check out The Voice on NBC, Mondays 8/7c, and check out Anthony's new album Home! He is truly a talent and more so than that – the kind of joyous person who you want to cheer on!
As a publicly Christian figure, did you have any concerns about joining a secular show like The Voice?
I had concerns, but I just didn't let them control whether I was going to do the show or not. Thinking about what people are going to say can be overwhelming at times, and I discussed it with the people who are closest to me; namely my father, Kirk Franklin, and the guys who I interact with on a daily basis. Their advice to me was that as long as you are true to yourself and not compromising your faith then go and have a great time. To be freed up that way was great, to think about what everyone was going to say – that was too much.
Have you received a lot of support? Have there been any detractors?
You know what, 95 percent of it has been completely positive, and then there's that other 5 percent that are like "oh my gosh he's losing his faith!!" and I'm like "For real??" I don't quite understand it, but 95 percent of them have been supportive.
I don't get that either! Anyone who actually saw the opening segment with you would definitely know that you haven't compromised yourself.
Yeah, after that aired I was like "Dad you're welcome, they aired you and the church more than me!" *laughing* I loved that.

"Lots of information in a quick read/listen"
I love this book... I have listened to it a few times already, and will again. In a rather quick listen, you get a good introductory biography of Ben Graham and Warren Buffett... and then a discussion of Value and Growth investing. I highly recommend this one...:)
"Good, short, well narrated."
Fast paced, well written and very well narrated. I thought it was clearly organized as well. Not an in depth study by any means.

Cylindro-parabolic solar cookers
Revision as of 18:25, February 4, 2011 by Tom Sponheim (Talk | contribs)

The original author of this article is Dr. Ashok Kundapur. Find more of Dr. Kundapur's work on his website: http://www.solcooker.net/Cindex.htm.

|Next: Solar plane mirrors
|Design Compendium
Solar panel cookers
These are an interesting class of concentrators used mostly in water heating applications, but the very first design using such mirrors was that of Prata (1961) (Figure 24). The cylindro-parabolic concentrator focused the rays into an insulated cylindrical box in which two or more cooking vessels could be accommodated (Fraber et al. 1975). Bowman, who built and tested the design, encountered several difficulties (Bowman, Blatt 1978), and he tried to improve upon the design. This resulted in a series of new concepts. The FIT concept No. 1, (Figure 25) is almost similar to Prata's design but it has only a single cylindro-parabolic swinging reflector.
Another improvement development was the incorporation of a bigger and easy-to-use insulated box to house the cooking vessel. Results were slightly better. Reddy (1980) has presented a similar design.
The Edmond Scientific Supplies Company was selling yet another design of this category mainly meant for warming food; it was basically a styrofoam parabola with aluminized polyester (Warenham 1995).
Another very recent cooker presented here has been taken from BBC online. This is being classified by reviewer under this section of Cylindro parabola. He quotes from their site as follows: "The solar sausage sizzler is a bit more tricky to make and watch out for all of those cocktail sticks. However, once built, it makes short work of making a sausage or two (we used Frankfurters sausages). Have a go, and let us know if you succeed". Further details can be obtained from their site.
Once again Mr. Muller's site, mentioned above, has another design to offer in this category. Called as CRADLE Cooker, is coated with 'Eloxated Aluminium' Sheets, houses 13 lit capacity box in the center of the Unit. The unit measures about 110 x 41.5 centimeters. This works out to an area of 0.4565 m2. It is supposed to deliver ~450 watts of power capable of boiling 1 liter of water in one hour at Germany.
Solar Grill is another new entry to this site. The source is from http://www.tammock.ch/en/index.html. Details are not available, but photo indicates that the device works. The device has a large cylindrical parabolic reflector, with a central chamber for the housing items to be grilled.
As shown by this Youtube clip, cookers similar to the Tammock grill have been successful. As this video shows ([1]), in lower latitudes (including the Southern United States), it is not necessary to have an inner cooking chamber or even a lid on the cooker for that matter.

Background Extreme prolongation or reduction of the QT interval predisposes patients to malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, but the association of variations in the QT interval within a reference range with mortality end points in the general population is unclear.
Methods We included 7828 men and women from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Baseline QT interval was measured via standard 12-lead electrocardiographic readings. Mortality end points were assessed through December 31, 2006 (2291 deaths).
Results After an average follow-up of 13.7 years, the association between QT interval and mortality end points was U-shaped. The multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios comparing participants at or above the 95th percentile of age-, sex-, race-, and R-R interval–corrected QT interval (≥439 milliseconds) with participants in the middle quintile (401 to <410 milliseconds) were 2.03 (95% confidence interval, 1.46-2.81) for total mortality, 2.55 (1.59-4.09) for mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), 1.63 (0.96-2.75) for mortality due to coronary heart disease, and 1.65 (1.16-2.35) for non-CVD mortality. The corresponding hazard ratios comparing participants with a corrected QT interval below the fifth percentile (<377 milliseconds) with those in the middle quintile were 1.39 (95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.88) for total mortality, 1.35 (0.77-2.36) for CVD mortality, 1.02 (0.44-2.38) for coronary heart disease mortality, and 1.42 (0.97-2.08) for non-CVD mortality. Increased mortality also was observed with less extreme deviations of QT-interval duration. Similar, albeit weaker, associations also were observed with Bazett-corrected QT intervals.
Conclusion Shortened and prolonged QT-interval durations, even within a reference range, are associated with increased mortality risk in the general population.
Abnormal prolongation and shortening of the electrocardiographic QT-interval duration, similar to those seen in hereditary forms of long and short QT syndromes, are associated with increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.1- 5 The effect of less extreme variations in QT-interval duration on mortality, however, is controversial. Some studies have shown associations between smaller increases in QT-interval duration and total mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and sudden cardiac death,6- 17 but these associations have not been replicated consistently in all studies.18- 20 Furthermore, although a short duration of the QT interval also may be associated with increased mortality, most studies have used broad categorizations of QT-interval durations that make it difficult to estimate precisely the dose-response relationships between QT interval and mortality. The purpose of this analysis was to investigate the association between QT-interval duration and total mortality and mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease (CHD), and non-CVD causes in a representative sample of the general US population using flexible methods to identify potential variations in mortality risks along the full spectrum of QT-interval durations.
We used data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), a cross-sectional study conducted from 1988 through 1994 that used a multistage, stratified, clustered probability design to select a representative sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized US population aged 2 months and older.21 Children, older adults, non-Hispanic black subjects, and Mexican American subjects were oversampled to produce more precise estimates for these groups. The present study was restricted to participants 40 years and older because 12-lead electrocardiograpic readings were performed only in this age group. Of the 8561 participants 40 years or older who had available electrocardiographic measurements, we excluded 122 participants with missing QT-interval duration or heart rate, 535 participants with QRS duration of at least 120 milliseconds, and 76 participants with missing mortality status. The final analysis was based on data from 7828 participants (3703 men and 4125 women).
The NHANES III included a standardized questionnaire administered in the home by a trained interviewer and a detailed physical examination at a mobile examination center. Demographics, educational level, smoking status, alcohol consumption, medical history, and medication use were assessed by interview. We defined QT-prolonging medications according to the Arizona Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics database.22 Height and weight were measured, and body mass index was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Blood pressure was measured 3 times during the in-home interview and 3 additional times during the participant's visit to the mobile examination center. Laboratory test results included measurement of total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, plasma glucose, serum potassium, and serum calcium concentrations. Diabetes mellitus was defined as a fasting plasma glucose level of at least 126 mg/dL, a nonfasting plasma glucose level of at least 200 mg/dL, and/or current use of oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin (to convert glucose levels to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0555).
Standard 12-lead resting electrocardiographic recordings were performed using a commercially available device (Marquette MAC 12; Marquette Medical Systems, Inc, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) with signals sampled at 250 samples per second per channel when participants visited the mobile examination centers. All electrocardiographic readings were reviewed at the Central ECG [Electrocardiogram] Laboratory, Epidemiological Cardiology Research Center, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Recordings with technical errors, missing leads, or inadequate quality per visual inspection were excluded. Then, a representative P-QRS-T cycle was derived automatically by selective averaging using the Dalhousie ECG Analysis Program.23 The program measured the QT interval as a global interval by selective averaging of all normally conducted complexes. The global QT interval derived in this manner reduces measurement uncertainties due to small T-wave amplitudes in any individual lead. Resting heart rates and QT intervals were obtained from electrocardiographic readings.
As the primary metric for QT analysis, we used age-, race-, sex-, and R-R interval–adjusted QT-interval (QTrras) duration by means of the residual method. More specifically, we first regressed QT interval on age (continuous), race or ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Mexican American, and other), sex (female or male), and R-R interval (restricted quadratic splines with knots at the 5th, 50th, and 95th percentiles to allow a more flexible and nonlinear relationship between QT and R-R intervals) as the independent covariates in the linear regression model. Then, we obtained the model residuals for each participant. Residuals represent, for each participant, the component of QT interval not explained by model regressors. Residuals are uncorrelated with the regressors and thus adjusted for them. Because the average of the residuals is 0, we rescaled the residuals by adding the mean QT interval of the overall study population to calculate the final QTrras. Parallel analyses also were performed with the Bazett heart rate–corrected QT-interval (QTb) duration.
Participants in the NHANES III were followed up for mortality through December 31, 2006.24 Vital status and cause of death assignment were based on probabilistic matching of NHANES III with the National Death Index death certificate records. Cause of death was determined based on the underlying cause listed on the death certificates. We used the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) for classifying deaths occurring from 1988 through 1998 and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10) for deaths occurring from 1999 through 2006. Cardiovascular disease mortality was defined as ICD-9 codes 390 to 434 and 436 to 459 or ICD-10 codes I00 to I99. Coronary heart disease mortality was defined as ICD-9 codes 410 to 414 and 429.2 or ICD-10 codes I20 to I25. Non-CVD mortality was defined as all other deaths that were not classified as CVD mortality. In addition, we excluded cases of "sudden death, unknown causes" (ICD-9 code 798 or ICD-10 code R96) from non-CVD mortality in a sensitivity analysis and found similar results (not shown).
We used electrocardiographic sampling weights to account for the complex survey design of the NHANES III.21 We used Cox proportional hazards models to estimate multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios for mortality end points associated with QTrras. To provide detailed analyses of the dose-response relationship of the QTrras with mortality rate, we used 2 alternative approaches. First, we categorized QTrras into 7 categories with cutoffs at the 5th, 20th, 40th, 60th, 80th, and 95th percentiles of the weighted population QTrras distribution. In these analyses, we used the middle category as the reference category (participants between the 40th and 60th QTrras percentiles, corresponding to the middle quintile). Second, we modeled QTrras with restricted quadratic splines with knots at the 5th, 50th, and 95th percentiles of the QTrras distribution to provide a smooth yet flexible description of the dose-response relationship. In spline analyses, we used the 50th percentile of the QTrras distribution as the reference value (median).
We censored follow-up at age 90 years because mortality was high after this age and few participants contributed person-time in this age category. Models were adjusted for age; race or ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Mexican American, and other); sex; R-R interval (restricted quadratic splines with knots at the 5th, 50th, and 95th percentiles); body mass index; smoking status (current, former, or never); alcohol consumption (<12 or ≥12 drinks in the past year); high school education (<12 years or ≥12 years); annual household income (<$20 000 or ≥$20 000); total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum potassium, and serum calcium levels; systolic blood pressure; use of blood pressure–lowering medication; diabetes mellitus; history of myocardial infarction; history of congestive heart failure; use of QT-prolonging medications; and use of β-blockers.
Also, we performed stratified analyses in men and women separately and sensitivity analyses excluding individuals with diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, or heart failure or those taking QT-prolonging medications (final sample size, 5475). All analyses were conducted using commercially available software (SUDAAN, version 10.0; Research Triangle Institute, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina).
The average age of study participants was 56.5 years; 45.1% of participants were male (Table 1). Quiz Ref IDThe mean (SD) duration was 406.1 (18.8) milliseconds for the QTrras and 429.3 (23.3) milliseconds for the QTb. The numbers of all-cause, CVD, CHD, and non-CVD deaths during follow-up were 2291, 911, 515, and 1380, respectively (Table 2).
Quiz Ref IDAfter an average follow-up of 13.7 years, the multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios comparing participants above the 95th percentile of the QTrras (≥439 milliseconds) with participants in the middle quintile (401 to <410 milliseconds) were 2.03 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46-2.81) for total mortality, 2.55 (1.59-4.09) for CVD mortality, 1.63 (0.96-2.75) for CHD mortality, and 1.65 (1.16-2.35) for non-CVD mortality (Figure 1). Quiz Ref IDThe corresponding hazard ratios comparing participants below the 5th percentile of the QTrras (<377 milliseconds) with the middle quintile were 1.39 (95% CI, 1.02-1.88) for total mortality, 1.35 (0.77-2.36) for CVD mortality, 1.02 (0.44-2.38) for CHD mortality, and 1.42 (0.97-2.08) for non-CVD mortality.
Although participants with the extreme 5% highest and lowest QTrras had the highest mortality rate, other categories also were at increased risk compared with the middle quintile (Figure 1). Consistently, in the spline regression models, the risk increased progressively from the middle of the QTrras distribution with no clear threshold of risk (Figure 2).
Figure 1. Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for total mortality rate and mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease (CHD), and non-CVD causes. Mortality end points were associated with age-, sex-, race-, and R-R interval–corrected QT interval (QTrras) and Bazett heart rate–corrected QT interval (QTb). Models were adjusted for age; race or ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Mexican American, or other); sex; R-R interval (restricted quadratic splines with knots at the 5th, 50th, and 95th percentiles); body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared); smoking status (current, former, or never); alcohol consumption (<12 or ≥12 drinks in the past year); high school education (<12 years or ≥12 years); annual household income (<$20 000 or ≥$20 000); levels of total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum potassium, and serum calcium; systolic blood pressure; use of blood pressure–lowering medication; diabetes mellitus; history of myocardial infarction; history of congestive heart failure; use of QT-prolonging medications; and use of β-blockers. Wald test P values for testing the association of QTrras categories with mortality end points were less than .001 for total mortality and CVD mortality, .02 for CHD mortality, and .008 for non-CVD mortality. The corresponding P values for QTb were .08, .24, .49, and .28, respectively. CI indicates confidence interval.
Figure 2. Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios for total mortality rate and mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease (CHD), and non-CVD causes. Mortality end points were associated with age-, sex-, race-, and R-R interval–adjusted QT interval (QTrras) and Bazett heart rate–corrected QT interval (QTb) using restricted quadratic splines. The horizontal dotted line indicates a hazard ratio of 1. Adjustment factors are described in Figure 1.
The U-shaped association between QT interval and mortality end points also was evident when using the QTb, although the magnitude of the association was slightly decreased (Figures 1 and 2). The hazard ratios comparing participants with a QTb at or above the 95th percentile with those in the middle quintile were 1.42 (95% CI, 1.03-1.94) for total mortality, 1.59 (0.85-2.97) for CVD mortality, 0.85 (0.47-1.55) for CHD mortality, and 1.32 (0.90-1.94) for non-CVD mortality (Figure 1). The corresponding hazard ratios comparing participants with a QTb below the 5th percentile with those in the middle quintile were 1.06 (95% CI, 0.70-1.59) for total mortality, 1.26 (0.63-2.52) for CVD mortality, 1.05 (0.42-2.62) for CHD mortality, and 0.92 (0.58-1.46) for non-CVD mortality.
When stratified by sex, the association between the QTrras and mortality end points was similar among men and women (Figure 3). Finally, excluding participants with diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, or heart failure or those receiving QT-prolonging medications did not materially change the results (eFigure).
Figure 3. Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios of total mortality rate and mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease (CHD), and non-CVD causes. Mortality end points were associated with age-, sex-, race-, and R-R interval–adjusted QT interval (QTrras) using restricted quadratic splines, stratified by sex. The horizontal dotted line indicates a hazard ratio of 1. Adjustment factors are described in Figure 1. P values are for interaction.
Quiz Ref IDIn a large sample representative of the general US population, the association between QT-interval duration and all-cause, CVD, and CHD mortality was U-shaped, with increased risks at the lower and upper tails of the QT-interval distribution. Although the increase in risk was highest at the extremes of the distribution, the risk of mortality progressively increased with longer and shorter QT-interval duration compared with the population average with no clear threshold for risk change.
Population-based studies reporting associations between prolonged QT-interval duration and mortality rate have been inconsistent. Some studies7- 17 have shown progressive associations of QT-interval duration with mortality rate, but other studies have shown U-shaped associations6,25 or nonsignificant associations.18- 20 The categories used for evaluating the association of QT-interval duration with mortality rate in previous studies generally were wide and inconsistent across studies, making it difficult to evaluate dose-response relationships and to compare findings. Our results suggest that analyses of QT-interval duration and mortality rate need to carefully select the cut points and the reference category to avoid masking nonlinear dose-response relationships.
In experimental models, prolongation of the QT interval is associated with the occurrence of early after-depolarizations.26 Early after-depolarizations of sufficient amplitude can generate premature action potentials that lead to cardiac arrhythmias that may progress to ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death.27,28 In general, longer QT intervals reflect longer ventricular action potentials, a reduction in repolarizing reserve29 that is associated with exaggerated spatial and temporal heterogeneity of electrical recovery of the ventricle. This would allow for the development of functional reentry, in which still-activated regions of ventricular myocardium reenter and reactivate regions with shorter action potentials, producing polymorphic ventricular tachycardias. The progressive association of QT-interval duration with mortality at the high end of the distribution then would reflect an increased likelihood of ventricular arrhythmias associated with increasing heterogeneity in ventricular action potential duration.
Although the literature regarding prolonged QT intervals is substantial, less is known regarding shortened QT intervals, especially at the population level. Short QT syndrome is a rare disease associated with hastened ventricular repolarization (QT intervals typically ≤320 milliseconds) and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death,3,4,18,30- 32 although more recent studies33,34 have shown that genetically confirmed cases of short QT syndromemay have QT-interval durations of 320 to 360 milliseconds. Data from population-based studies regarding the risk associated with a QT interval at the low end of the distribution are limited. A small study in the Netherlands6 found no association for sudden cardiac death when comparing participants with a QTb of less than 400 vs 400 to 440 milliseconds. Similarly, a Finnish study of 10 822 participants found no association of all-cause mortality comparing participants with a QTb of less than 340 vs 360 to 449 milliseconds,18 and a study of 3596 participants in England reported no association for all-cause or cardiovascular mortality comparing participants with a QTb of less than 397 vs 410 to 422 milliseconds.25 None of these studies presented a more detailed dose-response analysis. Our findings indicate that the results of these analyses could depend on the cutoff points used to define the lower tail of the QT-interval distribution and on the QT-interval values used to define the reference category.
Similar to QT prolongation, shortening of the QT interval is not uniform in time and space in the ventricle. Thus, shortening of the QT interval is associated with exaggerated heterogeneity of repolarization in time and space. The exaggerated heterogeneity of action potential duration creates a substrate for functional reentry similar to that of long QT syndrome but with hastened recovery and reduced refractoriness in the ventricle, and arrhythmias are likely to be even more malignant in short compared with long QT syndromes.35
Traditionally, reference ranges for QT-interval duration in the general population were expressed in terms of QTb.18,30,31,36,37 The Bazett correction, however, has a strong residual correlation with heart rate and results in wider distributions compared with other adjustment methods with better control for heart rate.38 Indeed, the 2009 recommendations for the standardization and interpretation of the QT interval from the American Heart Association Electrocardiography and Arrhythmias Committee Council on Clinical Cardiology, the American College of Cardiology Foundation, and the Heart Rhythm Society recommended that linear regression functions rather than the Bazett formula be used for QT correction.39 The report further recommended that, in addition to rate, sex and age should be incorporated into QT adjustment because women and elderly individuals tend to have longer QT intervals. The report proposed a reference range for linear function–adjusted QT-interval duration from 390 to 450 milliseconds in men or 460 milliseconds in women. In the NHANES III, these values correspond to the 17th and 98th percentiles of the QTrras distribution in men and the 18th and 99th percentiles of that distribution in women. Our analysis thus indicates that QT-interval duration is associated with variations in mortality rate even within reference ranges calculated using the most recent normative standards. Moreover, our study showed that the observed associations were stronger when using the QTrras compared with the QTb, which might be explained partly by the imperfection of the Bazett correction formula.
Quiz Ref IDSeveral limitations of this study need to be considered. The QT-interval duration was measured at a single baseline time, which may result in nondifferential measurement error because there is substantial within-individual variability. Repeated measurements of QT-interval duration are needed to reduce measurement error and to better characterize the association between QT interval and mortality rate in future studies. Causes of death were ascertained based on death certificates, and we did not have detailed adjudications of arrhythmic sudden cardiac deaths, an end point that more specifically may reflect the effect of QT-interval duration on mortality rate. Although potential misclassifications may occur by using death certificate data and by the limited adjudication of arrhythmic deaths, these inaccuracies were likely to be unrelated to baseline QT-interval data and therefore would tend to result in an underestimation of the association between QT-interval duration and specific causes of death in our study.
In conclusion, data from the NHANES III, a large sample representative of the general US population, showed a U-shaped relationship between QT interval and mortality end points. Shortened and prolonged QT-interval durations, even within reference ranges, were associated with increased risks of total, CVD, CHD, and non-CVD death. Detailed analyses of the dose-relationship between QT-interval duration and mortality in other populations should be conducted to confirm these findings, especially the mortality implications of a shortened QT interval, and to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these associations.

Guild:Order of the Golden Law (Wyrmrest Accord US)
this wiki
This article is a guild information page for Order of the Golden Law of Wyrmrest Accord US.
The contents herein are entirely player made and in no way represent official World of Warcraft history or occurrences which are accurate for all realms. The characters and events listed are of an independent nature and applied for roleplaying, fictional, speculative, or opinions from a limited playerbase only. Guild pages must comply with the guild page policy.
It is our duty to stand in defiance of all of these, not as individuals, but as a body which is united under one banner in the name of the Light (or in the name of Good in general). Individuals who do not necessarily follow the Light - Druids, Shamans, and Mages - can still join the Order if their goal is aligned with the Orders. While they do not need to believe that the Light is their overall higher-power, they are expected to adhere to, and dedicate their lives to follow the teachings of the Three Virtues and the tenets of the "Followers Code"

Type: Role-playing
Faction: Alliance
Website: http://goldenlawwra.enjin.com
The Order of the Golden Law is a level 25, active, heavy role-play guild. Minimum level requirement is level 15 (so we know you at least have intentions to play them). Experienced, mentally mature, and veteran role-players are preferred, with a general understanding of basic Lore, and a decent skill in spelling, punctuation, and over-all grammar. All members are expected to have either an MRP (MyRolePlay) or a TRP (TotalRolePlay), and are recommended to have GHI (GryphonHeartItems) to optimize their role-play capabilities and personal experiences with the guild. Ventrilo or Skype is heavily recommended for In-Character events and for an Out-of-Character voice interview.
The Order of the Golden Law is, first and foremost, a Holy Military Order. What's a "Holy Military Order"? The Knights of the Silver Hand, the Argent Dawn, and the Argent Crusade are all Holy Military Orders.
Uniforms are enforced ICly and are expected to be worn. OOCly, you're free to wear what you wish! In-Character vows of sobriety (not drinking alcohol) and celibacy (not engaging in sexual orientations until after IC marriage) are also enforced!
The Order of the Golden Law is founded by Jonathan Kalery, Paladin of the Order of the Silver Hand, Paladin of the Argent Dawn (and later, the Argent Crusade), and seasoned veteran of every war post First War. Being led by a Paladin, true to the Light, the Order was built around the very same virtues that the Order of the Silver Hand and Church of Holy Light modeled after - Respect, tenacity and compassion. When the Order was founded, they sought and gained the support of the Argent Crusade and a handful of remaining Knights of the Silver Hand. While their supporters offered no resources, they did offer their faith and guidance. With this guidance, and with the faith of their allies, the Order was able to grow both spiritually and literally.
Months after their founding, the Order of the Golden Law was several hundred strong, comprised of true-hearted men and women in service to the Holy Light and to the people. Now, the Order is looked up to by many as true friends and strong allies willing to put their lives at risk to defend Azeroth and her people against evil. The banner of the Golden Law is recognized amongst their allies as a symbol of peace, hope, justice, and unity, and the men and women who carry that banner are the very embodiment of these tenets. Any seeking to join the Order are called to lose much of their old life, including: titles of power, pride, disrespect, dishonesty, and hedonism. Giving up their titles of power (such as the title of a Noble), each member will accept the mantle of a commoner and the humility that comes with it. Giving up their pride, each member must learn to show compassion even to those who show them disrespect or do them a wrong. Giving up their disrespect, they must learn to respect all beings, good, evil or otherwise. Giving up their dishonesty, they must learn to be truthful in their actions, words, and thoughts. Giving up their pursuit of hedonism, each member takes oath to abandon the bottle, never to touch alcohol again, and to preserve sexual relations for the ones they have come to marry. The demands the Order of the Golden Law have for those who carry its banner are heavy, but this only proves the discipline of the members that comprise it. Will you become a Brother or Sister of the Order of the Golden Law?
Guild Rules & Recruitment
Guild rules and protocols can be found on the website, along with additional information regarding recruitment.
The Golden Law welcomes all races and classes with the exception of Warlocks, Death Knights and other shadow aligned lore classes. Roleplaying add-ons such as MRP (MyRolePlay) or a TRP (TotalRolePlay) are recommended, along with GHI (GryphonHeartItems), to optimize their role-play capabilities and personal experiences with the guild.
Firstly, anyone seeking to join the Order of the Golden Law must undergo an Out-of-Character interview, either in Ventrilo or through text (if they are unable to join Ventrilo). The Out-of-Character portion of the interview allows us, as the recruiters, to know the quality of who we are bringing into the guild. It also allows the recruiters to determine whether a character is truly fit for the guild. The questions asked during the Out-of-Character interview can also be found on the Recruitment Application on the left-hand side of the home page by clicking "Apply" and scrolling down to questions 1-13. The Out-of-Character interview is the most important part of the two-part process.
Secondly, after passing the Out-of-Character interview with an Order of the Golden Law recruiter, each individual is required to undergo an In-Character interview. The In-Characater interview allows the recruiter to experience the roleplay skills of the recruit. During the In-Character interview, grammar, punctuation and writing experience is observed. While these three things -do- weigh in on the recruiters final decision, they should not be the sole reason for a recruit being denied access to the Order.
Following being recruited, each new recruit is given their In-Character Uniform by their recruiter and welcome into the Order.
Events & Activity
The Golden Law has more recently begun hosting larger events within the Order, and with allied guilds, such as the week long 40+ man Siege of Stromgarde event, a dungeon mastered storyline in progression for well over a month. Monthly Courts of Honor (promotional ceremonies where members of all ranks see promotions), among countless weekly events such as larger combat practice, out of city story events and patrols keep the member base active and engaged in roleplay at all hours of the day. Active active population averages at about 25-40 per night.

Listening to five state association leaders talk Sunday about the challenges they face might have reminded you of that purported Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times."
Because public schools in California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Georgia are all living through "interesting" times. Not particularly fun times, to be sure, but definitely interesting.
Two common threads (or is that threats?) marked their presentations for the Third General Session of National School Boards Association's (NSBA) Federal Relations Network Conference: The difficulties posed by a severe lack of money, and the challenge coming from various — and often united and well-funded — proponents of vouchers, charter schools, and privatization.
"Even if they feel they can't get their legislation through, it still gives them a platform to attack public education and school board governance," said Angela Palm, director of policy and legislative services for the Georgia School Boards Association.
The good news, several of the state executives said, is that the state associations and NSBA are not waiting for their opponents to define public education but are actively telling their own stories – to their constitutions, to parents, to legislators – highlighting successes, and setting the record straight.
Studies show that most citizens give their local public school "As" or "Bs" for quality.
"Then why are we having this discussion" about alternatives to public schools? asked Glenn Koocher, executive director of the Massachusetts Association of School Committees.
The reason, as Koocher and others explained, is the power and money behind public school critics. In Pennsylvania, for example, three different groups have come together to argue for more school choice: those who sincerely believe charters and other choice options will improve schools: those who are invested in attacking public education; and businesses that see public education as "a cash cow" said Thomas Gentzel, that state's executive director. He said that, in forming your strategies and talking points, it helps to know which group you're addressing.
One of the more convoluted – and long running – budget crises is occurring in California, leading Vernon Billy, executive director of the California School Boards Avocation, to close his presentation with this tongue-in-cheek advice: If someone starts a conversation with "'Well, you know, in California'….run."
Currently, the state is planning to cut the education budget, but it is still asking districts to fund programs as if they had as much money as last fiscal year, Billy said. This has been convenient for the state and unions and other interest groups with which it has been negotiating, but it places all the fiscal responsibility on districts, which must either plow into their reserve funds or borrow money to stay afloat.
Gov. Jerry Brown has proposed a state referendum on increasing taxes, but if it does not pass, Billy said, the state is looking at more cuts of as much as $5 billion. Still, school districts are being told to spend as if they had as much money as last year; and, meanwhile, in an effort to preserve state funds, the state is deferring scheduled payments to schools.
"We still have our electric lights to pay for. We still have our employees to pay," Billy said. "We still have our health and welfare costs rising. Those things are not changing."
Ken DeLay, executive director of the Colorado School Boards Association, gave a more positive report on developments in his state. As a result of hard work and continued dialogue, the legislature was able to pass new teacher evaluation rules that for the first time would provide a mechanism for districts to fire low-performing but tenured teaches without having to spend thousands of dollars in litigation costs.

Aldolase is a protein (called an enzyme) that helps break down certain sugars to produce energy. It is found in high amount in muscle tissue.
A test can be done to measure the amount of aldolase in your blood.
A blood sample is needed.
You may be told not to eat or drink anything for 6 hours before the test. Your health care provider will tell you if it is necessary to stop taking any medicines that may interfere with this test. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking, both prescription and nonprescription.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or slight bruising. These soon go away.
This test is done to diagnose or monitor muscle or liver damage.
Other tests that may be ordered to check for liver damage include:
Other tests that may be ordered to check for muscle cell damage include:
Normal results range between 1.0 to 7.5 units per liter. There is a slight difference between men and women.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A higher than normal level may be due to:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

SilkyPix Developer Studio 3 review
SilkyPix Developer Studio is shipped free with the Panasonic L10 digital SLR but is also available as a standalone program. At $149, it's quite expensive so what makes it so special? Certainly there's no shortage of features. It seems able to recover extra highlight detail (via exposure adjustments) and it can correct chromatic aberration and fix distortion.

It's true, I'm a sucker for the old Miffy SS. It almost doesn't matter that files that use it auto-lose to anything that can zero out SP. I've always enjoyed Mizalio's SS too. I think there are a lot of fun tricks in set 4 that often go underused. I guess my ultimate file would function something like a Rube Goldberg machine. One action would set off a nutty chain reaction that might go on for some time. Does anyone remember those old Coatl Tennis videos? Naturally that scenario isn't going to get set up in a normal game, but it'd be cool if there was a card combo that could do something similar. If it was crazy enough, I don't think I'd even care if it won matches. It'd just be fun to watch it go off. Auto, counter, and close skills are probably key.
Here's an idea. How about a file centering on cards whose specialty is to lower the opponent's LP by ways other than killing cards or regular iczer attacks? Like original Dical, Mizalio SS, Shock Trooper, etc. It sounds like it would end up being heavily Lawtia, but maybe with a little Gowen too.
I've got a lot of testing to ahead of me, with all these ideas so far. Thanks!

Tom Tailor: successful year 2012
20 Mar. 2013
Tom Tailor Wealthy After Bonita TakeoverThe Tom Tailor Group looks back on a successful Fiscal Year for 2012. This is what Axel Rebien, Chief Financial Officer and Dieter Holzer, Chairman of the Management Board (CEO) explained at the press conference on 19th of March in Frankfurt am Main.
After the acquisition of Bonita in June 2012, the Groups sales have climbed 53% from 411.6 million in 2011, to 629.7 million Euros. Despite the takeover of Bonita, the cash flow in 2012 only climbed by 0.1 to 20.5. The only decline reported is the net result for the period, from 10.1 in 2011, to 3.1 in 2012. The company also continued its growth with its online business, where sales climbed 43% to 35.3 million Euros, compared to 24.7 million Euros the previous year. E-Commerce accounts for a 7.7% share of sales. In the future the group expects E-Commerce sales to reach 10%.
"2012 was a notable year for TOM TAILOR in two respects: We celebrated our 50th
Anniversary, and began a new chapter in our Company's history with the takeover of
BONITA," said Dieter Holzer, Chairman of the Management Board (CEO) of TOM TAILOR Holding AG. "With two strong, complementary brands, today we meet our customers demands, between the ages of 0 and 60, and have laid the foundation for accelerated profitable growth."
From September the time needed for production of the Bonita collection will be significantly reduced. Previously it took 40 to 44 weeks to produce Bonita collections. With the new design and development processes it will take from 24 to 28 weeks. The time saving makes it possible to react faster to trends. In future the time required for production may be reduced further still. Another aim is to open 100 new stores every year: 60 Tom Tailor stores and 40 Bonita stores. Casual and denim are said to be most capable of development.

A Stone County judge is expected to decide whether two teens currently charged in juvenile court will be tried as adults in the slaying of a vacationing retired couple.
Christopher Allen, 15, of Nashville, Tennessee, and Anthony Zarro, 16, of Spring, Texas, stand accused in the deaths of Paul Brian Brooks, 70, and Margaret Susan Brooks, 69.
The couple was found dead just before 6 p.m. on Jan. 31 at 1722 Trace Hollow Road, 75 miles south of Springfield.
Juvenile authorities have asked that Zarro and Allen be charged as adults because of the severity of the crimes. A judge is expected to make that decision today at a hearing in Galena.
The Brookses had been staying at a family member's cabin on Table Rock Lake in Lampe when authorities say they were attacked by Allen and Zarro.
The amended petition filed in the juvenile case against the teens includes two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action and B felony burglary, as well as robbery, tampering and property damage charges. In juvenile court, each teen has 12 total charges.
The documents say little about the slayings themselves, only mentioning that the Brookses were stabbed and beaten repeatedly.
According to the documents, the robbery charge stems from items allegedly stolen from the home at 1722 Trace Hollow Road. The additional armed criminal action charge also stems from that part of the alleged crime.
The tampering charge results from the alleged attempted stealing of the Brooks' blue Saturn car.
One of the C felony burglary charges is connected to an alleged break-in and stealing from a nearby home at 1712 Trace Hollow Road. The property damage charge is also part of this incident. According to the documents, the $750 damage was done to that home when the teens punched through walls and cut holes in furniture.
The final burglary charge is from an alleged incident at the Lives Under Construction Boys Ranch. The teens allegedly ran away from the ranch, which is a residential facility for at-risk boys.

A San Francisco doctor brought a moment of levity to the day of her own breast cancer operation - by organizing a flash mob dance party just before her double mastectomy.
Deborah Cohan envisioned the moment as a way to gather the support of her family and friends.
"I want to dance with my community - flash mob style - in the hallway of my Mt. Zion hospital room," Cohan wrote to followers on her CaringBridge page October 28. "Maybe even get some other patients out of their beds to dance with us."
"Dance is my medicine," she added.

Police said two children were among the family members forced to the ground during an early Monday morning home invasion in New Bern.
Police Sergeant Jason Williams told WITN at 1:27 a.m., officers were called to the Kensington Park Apartments for a home invasion on Arlington Circle.
Sgt. Williams said two men, one armed with a gun, burst through the front door with their faces covered in shirts. The duo demanded the family to the floor.
Officers said two children, between the ages of six and 12, were among the family members directed to the ground as the gunmen ransacked the apartment.
Investigators said the pair took off with a PS-3 gaming console in a silver car, heading toward Vanceboro.
Sgt. Williams said they have officers within a 50 mile radius keeping watch for the pair of robbers.
No one was hurt during the home invasion, according to police.
Officers said the first man was described as a black man with a lighter complexion, standing 5'4, and wearing a white t-shirt and jeans at the time of the robbery. The second man was described as a black man wearing a red t-shirt and only one white shoe.
Sgt. Williams said they do not have crimes like this reported often in this area of New Bern.
If you can help officers track down the robbers, you are asked to call New Bern Police at (252) 672-4100.

Reynolda Manor Library
Presented by the North Carolina Room staff, this program is a beginner class for starting genealogy research on the internet. Learn how to begin the process of researching your family origins including tips on getting started, how to organize your research, and using different resources available through the Library website and the internet. The Black History Month Edition will look at the challenges faced by African American genealogists.
Conducting African American genealogy research is different from other ethnic backgrounds because of slavery. Slaves were considered property and therefore not allowed to attend school, read, write, legally marry, own land or businesses, join the military, or vote. All of these activities produce the records genealogists often use to document ancestry. In this program, you will learn about the different kinds of records and other information that will help you locate African American ancestors.

America might be the bread basket of the world, but many Americans are hungry. Many families are coping with food insecurity, which means they are unable to acquire or are uncertain of having enough food to meet their needs because of insufficient money or other resources. The latest report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture on household food security paints a sobering picture:
What is even more sobering is that the prevalence of food insecurity has remained unchanged — and at record levels — since 2007.
This resonates with me. I grew up with depression-era parents who experienced food insecurity. My father told me about growing up in a dirt-floor log cabin without running water. More often than not, their cupboards were bare. I also had a disabled brother who was unable to physically shop for and prepare meals and thus needed to rely on me and others for help. I was a preteen when the "War on Poverty" was declared in 1964 in the U.S.
Many causes contribute to poverty and hunger, including lack of jobs, lack of education, crime, broken families and disability. Federal programs to fight poverty include Medicare, Medicaid, the Civil Rights Act, as well as food programs including Women, Infants and Children, and the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program.
One can argue the pros and cons of a top-down government approach to solving hunger, but I don't want to get into the politics. Instead, I'd like to focus on what we can all to do to fight hunger. Here are a few simple steps you and I can take:
When you get beyond just thinking about the problem and begin actually doing something about it you can make a difference. You can start by adding your own suggestions to the list above.
There are many ways to fight hunger — please get involved.
