- Address:
Château du Fosteau
Rue du Marquis 1
- MAPS: Google Maps
The fortified farmhouse of Fosteau, standing proud and isolated on a plateau in the Hainaut countryside, is a 14th century walled fortress formerly reached through a drawbridge across a moat. The impressive four-sided building, flanked by pepper-pot towers, grew over the centuries with the addition of annexes and outbuildings. Sacked and pillaged in 1597, it was rapidly restored by its new owner who built new living accommodation, the west wing, whose classical façade, framed by two towers, opens onto the terraced gardens.
Open: tours of the gardens are carried out in conjunction with tours of the chateau: daily, except Tuesday, Wednesday and public holidays, from 2 pm to 7 pm.
Access : E19-A7 motorway (Brussels-Mons), exit 20 (Feluy-Seneffe) and follow for Lobbes/Leers, towards Beaumont
Guided tours upon reservation, for groups of minimum 25 people - € 6,-/pers.
Castle, small Pharmacy museum, Souvenir Chamber of General Count Reille and park: € 3,-/pers - € 2,-/students and seniors.

November 29, 2014
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A new report shows that the nation's worst drought in decades has leveled off last week after worsening during the two previous weeks
The weekly U.S. Drought Monitor report released Thursday shows more than 62 percent of the continental U.S. remains in some form of drought. One-fifth of the land in the lower 48 states is still in extreme or exceptional drought - the two worst classifications.
All of several Midwest and Plains farming states, including South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma, are experiencing at least some form of drought.
The two previous weekly updates showed overall conditions had worsened after more than a month of showing slight improvements.
Heavy rainfall is expected in coming days in portions of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River region.

This is the first NikonD5100tips.com review so all comments are welcome…
Just received the D5100 battery grip from amazon uk today.
It is branded as MeiKe and it is made in china. I am pretty sure it is the same actual product as the one from phottix. It comes in a box, bubble wrapped and with a manual and a shutter release cable. The manual is in two languages, Chinese and Google translator English and states the obvious things such as that the battery grip is not waterproof etc…
The grip itself is made from quality plastic and it has a similar finish like the camera body and a piece of rubber at the vertical grip area. It has a latch that keeps the battery compartment door closed (it seems a little delicate) and a knob that is connected to the tripod type screw via some kind of gear.
Under the battery grip there is a tripod screw with female thread to connect to a tripod. One thing that one has to have in mind is that this second screw is not actually in line with the lens as the camera one is. It is positioned between the two battery compartments and 1cm to the right as you hold the camera from the one on the camera body. I suppose that this might pose some problems if one wants to use it on a tripod panning for a panorama for example.
In order to attach it to the camera one has to remove the battery compartment cover from the camera (by pulling it while half open), place it in the slot that the grip has and finally screwing the grip under the camera using the tripod screw knob.
It fits really well under the camera without leaving any gaps. Using the camera horizontally the grip is improved with room for all the fingers to wrap around the camera & grip.
If you want to use the camera vertically then use of the provided shutter release cable is necessary. It connects a little round (mini jack like) port at the side of the battery grip with the remote port of the camera.
The vertical shutter release button fells like the original camera button, but the vertical grip is a bit box-like and I feel that the grip is not so good. The hand has no room to wrap around properly and its shape puts fingers in awkward angle. I would not recommend it for shooting vertically for a long time.
The general feel is very good and personally I like that the camera becomes a bit bigger. Also the battery life doubles and the grip is better.

I would also add that if you buy a Jag OR Mercedes (I have both), educate yourself because so many things you CAN fix yourself instead of paying someone else. You can also order any needed parts for repairs ONLINE at about 60% cheaper than any mechanic will charge you.
Heck, I'm a GIRL and I fix things on my cars. I just changed out an air flow censor on my Mercedes and it didn't even require any tools to change! Dealership would have charged me lots of bucks to do that.
Ever hear the old,saying if it has , um,er chest protuberances or,tires sooner or later it will cause you trouble? Everybody live know who,has owned a Jag has paid big repair bills. Ditto,for,Audi, Mercedes, BMW. They're just designed that way.
Think,about a Lexus if you want style, comfort and prestige. My wife's volvo is now 8 years old and other than an appetite for brake pads it's been a good car.
Okay, have to ask. Is that a RED XK8 sitting next to the car you are looking at??
I talked to a shop that specializes in European cars. The mechanic was very nice, said he'd be glad to look it over so I may take him up on that.
I was about ready to give up on this but I think I'll see what the mechanic has to say about it.
The '99 XK8 was a one-owner when I bought it and had 29,000 miles on it. I purchased it in 2004 and I have only had to replace the battery, the serpentine hose and buy a new set of tires. The correct tires are so important on Jags so don't go for 'cheap' on tires if you buy this beautiful car.
Edited to add the '99 XK8 has close to 200,000 miles and still purrrrrs like the Kitten she is.

The people you do your life with shape the life you live
My daughter would be insanely jealous. She is 5 and is already a huge Jag fan, she has a coronary every time she spots one on the street. She wants to know why her parents drive a Volvo wagon and not a Jaguar.
ETA: we've had several vintage BMWs. They always needed something (electrical work, coolant issues, on and on), but my husband, who is not a mechanic, was always able to do the work himself with part bought online.
[This message edited by Want2help at 1:29 PM, July 10th (Thursday)]
Things like transmission fluid, coolant, rear differential fluid, timing belt, fuel filters, power steering fluid change are not cheap so sometimes owners put off this necessary maintenance. Failure of any of these components is catastrophic.
So, if there are no maintenance records, assume its never been done and find out prices for such and factor those into your purchase offer. For the items I mentioned, I'm talking 2000 to 2500 dollars.
BTW, 2005 was long before Jag improved its reliability reputation.
Don't confuse durability with reliability. Indy race cars are highly reliable, but don't last much more than the length of the Indy 500 without a major rebuild. Get the idea?
I'm going to try to get it checked by a mechanic tomorrow.
I'm hoping he says it's good to go or at that it at least doesn't need anything major.
I almost got run off the road in my Jeep by a brand new F-Type going about 100 miles per hour on a busy city street yesterday afternoon. It was an honor.
I'm a car girl, and I used to LOVE the older, rarer S and RS line Audis (before they became ubiquitous). After pouring $$$$ into low mileage but older models, I finally decided enough was enough. I now only own newer Audis/MBs/etc under warranty
Good luck if you decide to get it though- it is fun, even if it burns holes in your pockets.

Not going to get that Jaguar. By the way I want to thank WH5. I paid more attention to the suspension. It scraped again when I pulled into the mechanic's parking lot and we're not even talking a steep grade at all. The alignment was off and the driver side of the hood, door and trunk didn't feel right. Just don't want to take the risk.
Oh well.
I am in awe.

The instructor (pilot-in-command) and student (aircraft owner) checked the Grumman AA-1B's fuel supply believing they had about 1/4 tank (left) and 3/4 tank (right) prior to departing on the instructional flight. Airwork at high altitude was completed, and then the aircraft was taken into the pattern for practice touch and go landings. During the initial climb following the first touch and go, and not more than 200 feet above ground, the engine abruptly stopped and the propeller was reported to stop rotating. The instructor took control of the aircraft, maneuvering away from trees and towards a landing site, while the student selected the right fuel tank and turned on the fuel boost pump, but did not engage the starter. The aircraft impacted trees during the forced landing. Fuel and aircraft log records indicated that under the best conditions (assumption of full tanks, i.e. 22 gallons useable fuel total on 09/29/00) the aircraft had a total 35.6 gallons of usable fuel expended over a duration of 7.4 Hobbs hours from 09/29/00, to the time of the accident (approximately 4.81gallons/hour average burn). The fuel selector was reported on the left fuel tank at the time of the power loss and found on the right fuel tank at the accident site. The fuel system was checked following the accident and was found to be capable of delivering fuel to the carburetor. The engine was examined and no anomalies were found. The carburetor was flow checked and disassembled and no discrepancies were found. Serious carburetor icing conditions were found to exist at the time of the accident.

Coffee requires specific climatic conditions for its growth and, although it is a tropical crop, its cultivation demands special conditions regarding soil, temperature, precipitation, and altitude above sea level.
Thanks to these conditions, in Colombia it is possible to gather coffee year round. There are two harvests, a large one that is the main harvest, and a small one called traviesa or mitaca, which yields about a third of the main one.

Javier Hernandez has a new reason to love playing against Wigan Athletic - he's been named Man of the Match for Manchester United's victory over them on New Year's Day.
The Mexican international took his tally in Latics clashes to six goals in six games with his pair of clinical finishes separated by half-time. Chicharito also helped to create the first part of Robin Van Persie's double, providing his strike partner with an intelligent pass just before the break.
Sixty per cent of fans responding to ManUtd.com's online poll picked Chicharito as their star man, while Van Persie finished as runner-up with 29 per cent. Jonny Evans' part in United keeping a clean sheet at the DW Stadium was acknowledged as he claimed third place, ahead of fellow nominees Rafael and Ryan Giggs.

You have to depend on their servers working correctly. Wich they don't in my opinion. Had to de-install the component and look somewhere else.
The support group is very responsive.
**FYI - this module will help to keep spam registrations down if used as the sole login agent. check to be sure other modules are not allowing access to the standard joomla login. I had Kuena board allowing this. I have since disabled it.
Basic free use allows 5000 users. very generous!
Would have marked it excellent; however, it appears like the analytics portion of the service is still a bit wonky.
We still plant to keep this extension deployed on our website.
Nice Job!
Reviews: 5
But the best thing about this component is that the service Loginradius offers is absolutely top notch. They explain how to get the API keys from the different providers step by step (you really can't go wrong) and offer quick and accurate support through their 'public question' system.
Wouldn't go anywhere else for my social login requirements. An excellent product.
Reviews: 17
Pros: Basic functionality is FREE!
Cons: I'm afraid the cost beyond the basic functionality may be high.
i give it 5 out of 5
performance : excellent
Ease of usage and deployment : easy maybe took from me 15 around 15 minutes done with a cup of tea while iam relaxed .
Purpose of using the extension (i.e., "I used this extension for a family site where members dont like to create new accounts .")
Level of difficulty : easy
Reviews: 8
Note: For FB login, after seting up all parametars, you must wait fev minutes before this login start working.
It is my pleasure to having link on my login modul - "powered by LoginRadius".
Excelent job, excelent funkcionality, and everything for free.
This extension really do its work perfectly! And there customer support is also excellent! (the one additional star is for that:) )
A suggestion from my end is to also add netlog login in your list and create friend suggestion module also in which if people choose and login to their account they can select there friend list to send invitation to join to the site!
Thanks a lot for this gems in joomla's extension directory
This does it all, I have added FB, Twit and Google to my site and it works flawlessly...it even adds the user to the Joomla tables properly.
1. its a little confusing on the setup at first...but with a little reading and clicking you'll figure out how to add the app ids and api keys to your account...which is not on your site but stored on the account you create on their (loginradius) website.
2. There is no way to adjust padding or the style of the login module as it is pulled into an iframe from another source. You can buy other icon sets from them but they bill you monthly for an icon set...its not worth it, I understand why they do this is because they are hosting the script that generates the code to input into your iframe....great idea..but I dont need a 1 dollar a month bill just to get icons. I'll use the free ones.
3. as I mentioned above, there is no way to style the module at all, no class suffix ability so unless your site is white or grey, there will always be a display issue. You cant align the icons to the left/right or adjust them in any way.
you can however add a line of text above or below them, but the padding is HUGE and again there is no way to adjust.
4. There are login demos and buttons shown on the front page of their site that are not available for Joomla. They look slick with popups and overlays, but its not something designed for joomla, you can get additional icon sets or icon layouts but they cost between $1 and $2 a month. There is only one module layout and 3 icon sizes for Joomla.
5. no forum for support
6. no way to remove advertising tagline
7. The joomla login form doesn't have the ability to turn off lost user/pass or "create account" so in most cases it cannot be used in conjunction with any 3rd party user registration system since the "create account" link points directly to joomlas core registration
8. The Joomla login form provided doesn't use the styling of your joomla site, so it doesn't match.
9. No premium account to buy to gain everything in one package and remove advertising.
Due to these reasons above it makes the module difficult to reliably and seamlessly integrate into a live production site that has any custom styling to it at all.
The package works and works well, but lacks the flexibility to make visual design changes to create a smooth interface.

The following is part three in a series examining the Amway Center's potential impact on Orlando. Be sure to check out parts one and two.
The NBA season is fast approaching, filled with countless storylines to make just about any sports fan salivate. Last year's Heat is not this year's Heat, the Lakers have a chance pull a three-peat, and Dwight Howard is certainly tired of his team getting overlooked by the press and is hungry to prove his critics wrong. Even The Orlando Sentinel recently posed this question to diehard football-faithful Floridians: Which season are you more excited about – NFL or NBA?
The fact that such a question was even asked suggests that the new NBA season sure looks mighty appealing to all sports fans around the state.
Let's just say the excitement is brewing. Bubbling over, even, to see the Magic play their first game in their new home, the Amway Center.
The arena is entering its finishing stages. New palm trees now frame the building, new employees have been hired, and the events calendar is rapidly filling up for the new Amway Center. The long awaited arena is ready to open, and local leaders have repeatedly touted how Amway Center will undoubtedly transform Orlando.
We have all heard how this building is going to change everything. Politicians like Buddy Dyer see the arena as the catalyst to re-spark almost everything about downtown Orlando, including the area's economy, the area's entertainment vibe and the overall image of Orlando throughout the world.
Furthermore, Dyer has also insisted that the new venue would monumentally revitalize the social problems hampering downtown Orlando's west end neighborhood: Parramore.
Such transformative claims are definitely not uncommon when politicians try to "sell" a new sports venue. But, can a new arena really "change" a neighborhood?
Economically, the new Amway will indeed have some impact in the immediate area around the venue. It's not going to be hugely monumental, but nearby shop and restaurant owners will surely benefit from increased business as I emphasized in the previous part of this series. Businesses on Church Street are anxiously anticipating the foot traffic of thousands of arena visitors, hoping Magic fans and concertgoers will drop some cash on a quick bite or drink.
As for entertainment, the arena's impact on downtown is obvious. Professional basketball, arena football, big-time concerts, various sports tournaments… the entertainment potential is clearly huge. And, the glossy new building will certainly cast a bright spotlight on Orlando for a few years (at least until a bigger, better arena is built somewhere else). These claims are pretty straightforward.
Yet, as much as I am looking forward to checking out the new arena myself, I cannot help but take issue with the mayor's argument that Amway Center will revolutionize the lives of the residents of Parramore. Quite simply, I am skeptical of the mayor's belief in the transformative abilities of Amway Center regarding Parramore.
However, it is not that I believe this particular building is specifically lacking in some particular way. Amway Center is well-equipped to stage everything from professional sports to the circus, with all the fancy bells and whistles included.
Rather, I argue that this shiny building is really no different than stadiums and arenas everywhere. Amway Center simply does not possess the ability to socially transform a "troubled" neighborhood. Sports centers built in lower income urban areas throughout the country almost always end up becoming like isolated islands, never really integrating with the surrounding community.
I have a hunch that the new Amway will end up like an island in the sea of the Parramore neighborhood. Although the new arena is geographically in Parramore, most (if not all) arena-goers will not interact whatsoever with the historically African American neighborhood. A majority of visitors will either park for games in the garage behind the arena or end up in garages skirting Church Street and Orange Avenue, never really setting foot in the actually Parramore neighborhood.
At least the old arena led nearby homeowners on game nights to sell front-yards as temporary parking lots, along with offering goods like bottled water to arena visitors. The new Amway Center does not really offer this opportunity due to its location.
Ironically, it already appears that Division Avenue behind Amway Center will indeed be the dividing line between sports fans and the actual residents of downtown Orlando's lower income west end.
Of course, it's no secret that sports venues are typically constructed in lower income zones of major cities. While politicians usually claim a new stadium will revolutionize poorer neighborhoods, stadium site selection is typically largely based on low priced land values to obtain a large sect of land for cheap. While I'm sure the new Amway Center site was in no way inexpensive, there is a reason, after all, that it was not built somewhere on Orange Avenue…
At the end of the day, Amway Center, like all sports venues, is simply a very expensive fun center. And, well, there's nothing really wrong with that.
I just think that politicians should be more honest and upfront (who doesn't).
Essentially, stop trying to pull the wool over my eyes, telling me how the new arena will be the catalyst that singlehandedly improves Parramore. Stop selling sports venues on assets that they cannot really provide. A new arena will provide entertainment value and notoriety for Orlando, but it certainly won't encourage a Parramore 12-year-old to stay in school or reduce crime rates.
But, then again, I am willing to bet that the "let's build this $300 million arena because it will be really cool and a heckuva lot of fun" argument would not fly very far with public opinion. Thus, we end up with grand claims and promises that sound really great but never really come true.
The truth is that while such giant homes to sports franchises do provide marginal economic benefit, these buildings are far from magic pills to fix conspicuous urban problems like blight, poverty, school retention, and crime that plague neighborhoods like Parramore.
Don't get me wrong. The city's "Blueprint" program did benefit some Parramore residents, encouraging the Magic and the Populous architectural firm to hire minority employees and companies to help with construction and operation of the new arena. A concerted effort was certainly made to reach out to community of Parramore. But, even so, this building will not really transform the community of Parramore.
Various other efforts are far more effective for community outreach. Initiatives like the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation's efforts with school supply giveaways and player appearances in local schools improve the community. Dwight Howard serving food at local homeless shelters during the holidays improves the community. Multiple sports gyms recently opened for local residents will definitely improve the community.
From the city, increased police visibility, after-school tutoring programs, and added financial investment in neighborhood infrastructure have all improved the Parramore community. Mayor Dyer's "Kidz Zone" program is touted by many for having improved the test scores of Parramore's children in recent years. Such initiatives have greatly reduced the booming crime rate that once plagued the neighborhood.
Parramore is clearly improving, but such improvements are not likely to result from the new arena.
Will the arena be awesome? Yep.
Will the arena transform Parramore? Eh, not really.
My Verdict: Amway Center's Potential to Revitalize the Parramore Neighborhood: D
For the next part of this series, I try to determine how Amway Center will affect how Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer will be remembered after leaving office. All political leaders carry a legacy after completing public service, leaving a particular issue or accomplishment in the minds of citizens long after the politician leaves office. Dyer will be remembered for one major issue: the venues project. Will Amway Center make or break Dyer's legacy?

Nepalese police inspect the scene after a Supreme Court judge was shot and killed in Katmandu, Nepal, Thursday, May 31, 2012. Motorcycle-riding assailants shot and killed Rana Bahadur Bam, a Supreme Court judge under investigation for allegedly taking bribes as he headed to work in the Nepalese capital Thursday, police said.

KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Motorcycle-riding assailants shot and killed a Supreme Court judge under investigation for allegedly taking bribes as he headed to work in the Nepalese capital Thursday, police said.
Rana Bahadur Bam's bodyguard and another passenger in his car were also wounded in the attack as the judge was driven to work after worshipping at a Hindu temple.
Bam was being investigated by the Judiciary Council for allegedly taking bribes from suspects charged with abduction in 2010 in exchange for releasing them with light sentences and fines.
Police official Rabindra Shah said two masked men on a black motorcycle drove by the judge's car and opened fire. Bam, his bodyguard and another person identified as the judge's friend were hit but the driver managed to escape. The attackers fled the scene after the shooting and the injured men were rushed to the hospital in a taxi.
Bam, shot several times, died at the local Norvic Hospital as he was being treated for internal bleeding, said hospital doctor Bharat Rawat. The other two men were undergoing surgery and their condition was unknown.
Police set up checkpoints in Katmandu and were searching for the motorcycle and culprits.

EUTHYDEMUS by Plato, Part 16
Cri. Truly, Socrates, though I am curious and ready to learn, yet I fear that I am not like minded with Euthydemus, but one of the other sort, who, as you were saying, would rather be refuted by such arguments than use them in refutation of others. And though I may appear ridiculous in venturing to advise you, I think that you may as well hear what was said to me by a man of very considerable pretensions-he was a professor of legal oratory-who came away from you while I was walking up and down. "Crito," said he to me, "are you giving no attention to these wise men?" "No, indeed," I said to him; "I could not get within hearing of them-there was such a crowd." "You would have heard something worth hearing if you had." "What was that?" I said. "You would have heard the greatest masters of the art of rhetoric discoursing." "And what did you think of them?" I said. "What did I think of them?" he said:-"theirs was the sort of discourse which anybody might hear from men who were playing the fool, and making much ado about nothing. "That was the expression which he used. "Surely," I said, "philosophy is a charming thing." "Charming!" he said; "what simplicity! philosophy is nought; and I think that if you had been present you would have been ashamed of your friend-his conduct was so very strange in placing himself at the mercy of men who care not what they say, and fasten upon every word. And these, as I was telling you, are supposed to be the most eminent professors of their time. But the truth is, Crito, that the study itself and the men themselves are utterly mean and ridiculous." Now censure of the pursuit, Socrates, whether coming from him or from others, appears to me to be undeserved; but as to the impropriety of holding a public discussion with such men, there, I confess that, in my opinion, he was in the right. Soc. O Crito, they are marvellous men; but what was I going to say? First of all let me know;-What manner of man was he who came up to you and censured philosophy; was he an orator who himself practises in the courts, or an instructor of orators, who makes the speeches with which they do battle? Cri. He was certainly not an orator, and I doubt whether he had ever been into court; but they say that he knows the business, and is a clever man, and composes wonderful speeches. Soc. Now I understand, Crito; he is one of an amphibious class, whom I was on the point of mentioning-one of those whom Prodicus describes as on the border-ground between philosophers and statesmen-they think that they are the wisest of all men, and that they are generally esteemed the wisest; nothing but the rivalry of the philosophers stands in their way; and they are of the opinion that if they can prove the philosophers to be good for nothing, no one will dispute their title to the palm of wisdom, for that they are themselves really the wisest, although they are apt to be mauled by Euthydemus and his friends, when they get hold of them in conversation. This opinion which they entertain of their own wisdom is very natural; for they have a certain amount of philosophy, and a certain amount of political wisdom; there is reason in what they say, for they argue that they have just enough of both, and so they keep out-of the way all risks and conflicts and reap the fruits of their wisdom. Cri. What do you say of them, Socrates? There is certainly something specious in that notion of theirs. Soc. Yes, Crito, there is more speciousness than truth; they cannot be made to understand the nature of intermediates. For all persons or things, which are intermediate between two other things, and participate in both of them-if one of these two things is good and the other evil, are better than the one and worse than the other; but if they are in a mean between two good things which do not tend to the same end, they fall short of either of their component elements in the attainment of their ends. Only in the case when the two component elements which do not tend to the same end are evil is the participant better than either. Now, if philosophy and political action are both good, but tend to different ends, and they participate in both, and are in a mean between them, then they are talking nonsense, for they are worse than either; or, if the one be good and the other evil, they are better than the one and worse than the other; only on the supposition that they are both evil could there be any truth in what they say. I do not think that they will admit that their two pursuits are either wholly or partly evil; but the truth is, that these philosopher-politicians who aim at both fall short of both in the attainment of their respective ends, and are really third, although they would like to stand first. There is no need, however, to be angry at this ambition of theirs-which may be forgiven; for every man ought to be loved who says and manfully pursues and works out anything which is at all like wisdom: at the same time we shall do well to see them as they really are. Cri. I have often told you, Socrates, that I am in a constant difficulty about my two sons. What am I to do with them? There is no hurry about the younger one, who is only a child; but the other, Critobulus, is getting on, and needs some one who will improve him. I cannot help thinking, when I hear you talk, that there is a sort of madness in many of our anxieties about our children:-in the first place, about marrying a wife of good family to be the mother of them, and then about heaping up money for them-and yet taking no care about their education. But then again, when I contemplate any of those who pretend to educate others, I am amazed. To me, if I am to confess the truth, they all seem to be such outrageous beings: so that I do not know how I can advise the youth to study philosophy. Soc. Dear Crito, do you not know that in every profession the inferior sort are numerous and good for nothing, and the good are few and beyond all price: for example, are not gymnastic and rhetoric and money-making and the art of the general, noble arts? Cri. Certainly they are, in my judgment. Soc. Well, and do you not see that in each of these arts the many are ridiculous performers? Cri. Yes, indeed, that is very true. Soc. And will you on this account shun all these pursuits yourself and refuse to allow them to your son? Cri. That would not be reasonable, Socrates. Soc. Do you then be reasonable, Crito, and do not mind whether the teachers of philosophy are good or bad, but think only of philosophy herself. Try and examine her well and truly, and if she be evil seek to turn away all men from her, and not your sons only; but if she be what I believe that she is, then follow her and serve her, you and your house, as the saying is, and be of good cheer. THE END

It's been just 24 hours since we first shared the story of Nathan Garcia. The 12-year-old has brain cancer and doctors say he's slipping away. His 13th birthday is a little over a week away. His one wish is to collect toys to give to other sick kids in the hospital.
On Friday, Nathan got to see what has been donated because of him.
"Wow, look at that Nathan," said Nathan's mom, Jessica, wheeling her son outside to look at the toys. And, Nathan, also said, "Wow."
Nathan's parents shared their son's 13th birthday wish to collect toys and give them to other sick kids in the hospital. What was a wish then, is shaping into a reality. Toy donations stacked up just an hour after opening at Jersey Mike's Sub Shops. The restaurant's co-owner, Carrie Asbury, was happy to make her shops a collection site.
"I have had lots of friends that have called because they have seen the segment from last night and want to drop off more toys and what can they do to help. And, my employees, now they are saying they want to bring in toys. They want to help him," said Asbury.
Nathan's dad came by the restaurant to drop off a collection bin, overwhelmed by the early outpouring.
"My phone has been going off non-stop. Not only my cell phone, but the home phone as well. I mean people have reached out to us and we have been truly blessed," said Michael Garcia.
The blessings continue at Terrio Physical Therapy and Fitness. They've already filled a room for Nathan's wish to collect thousands of toys.
"Ever since then people are calling, e-mails, texts, what can we do, people are donating money," said Tim Terrio, CEO of the company. "We are getting calls from all over the state right now about 'hey, we can't make it, but can we ship stuff?' Well, he said he wanted thousands of toys, and Nathan, we have some of it coming for you."
The Terrio team wanted to let Nathan see what he's done. So, they carried out all of the toys and stuffed the gifts collected so far in not one, but three SUVs. They drove to Nathan's house and unloaded them in the garage. Then, Nathan's parents wheeled him out to show him what he and his wish have done. In just 24 hours, half of his garage is filled with toys. Days that are already so precious, have become even more special.
"It's just, it's been so unreal that the community of Bakersfield has truly reached out to Nathan and our family as well," said Michael Garcia.
You can donate at any Jersey Mike's Sub Shop in town or at Terrio Physical Fitness and Therapy locations here or in Fresno. And, a Wells Fargo account has been set up in Nathan Garcia's name.
Nathan's story has gone national, with people as far away as Portland, Maryland and Miami, Florida seeing it. And, the coach and players of Nathan's favorite college football team, USC, continue to call him and offer their support.

Should treatment for depression be based more on patient preference?

Abstract: Patient treatment preferences are of growing interest to researchers, clinicians, and patients. In this review, an overview of the most commonly recommended treatments for depression is provided, along with a brief review of the evidence supporting their efficacy. Studies examining the effect of patient treatment preferences on treatment course and outcome are summarized. Existing literature on what treatment options patients tend to prefer and believe to be helpful, and what factors may affect these preferences, is also reviewed. Finally, clinical implications of research findings on patient preferences for depression management are discussed. In summary, although our knowledge of the impact of patient preferences on treatment course and outcome is limited, knowing and considering those preferences may be clinically important and worthy of greater study for evidence-based practice.
Keywords: treatment preferences, depression, antidepressants, psychotherapy

How does change happen? How can you be a part of something that will improve the lives of billions around the world? Participate in our ongoing and monthly actions and campaigns! It all starts here.
Keep updated on what Jubilee is up to by signing up for our action emails and newsletters here.
Find all of our grassroots resources that will help put you in contact with your Members of Congress, help you write an op-ed or letter to the editor your local and national publications, and manage a media relations campaign. Whatever you want to do to get the word out about economic justice, it's at your fingertips here.
On March 24, Jubilee USA and nearly 80 faith communities and national religious and development organizations filed an Amicus (friend of the court) brief to the United States Supreme Court in the landmark debt case between Argentina and predatory hedge funds. The brief expresses deep concern for the potential impact of this case on the world's poorest people. The hedge funds involved in this case are participating in predatory behavior that targets the debt relief funds otherwise earmarked to benefit those living in extreme poverty. The brief notes:
"Using law to dispossess the poor for the pleasure of the powerful offends not only the sense of justice embodied in United States policy, but the even more ancient principles of biblical justice revealed in the scriptures of our faiths."
Please add your voices to our Supreme Court filing and sign the petition below. We need Congress to pass legislation that protects the poor, US bipartisan debt policy and out global economy from extreme predatory behavior.
Send a message to Congress in support of our brief today: we must protect the vulnerable from extreme, predatory behavior.
In the months after Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines, the world has responded with astounding generosity, donating hundreds of millions of dollars to aid in the recovery effort and pledging hundreds of millions more.
Yet in its struggle to respond to the disaster, the Philippine government is still on the hook for billions of dollars in debt repayments. In fact, since the typhoon struck on November 8, 2013, the Philippines has spent between $6 billion and $8 billion paying off overseas debts.
Join Jubilee USA in calling upon the World Bank and other lenders to grant an immediate moratorium on debt repayments during the rebuilding process, with a view toward debt cancellation.
Write your Senators to Cosponsor the Stop Tax Haven Abuse Act.
Thanks to Senators Levin, Whitehouse, Begich and Shaheen, we've introduced the Stop Tax Haven Abuse Act - S.1533. This is a companion piece to the House of Representatives bill introduced in April.
This legislation addresses a systemic cause of poverty - the fact that many multinational corporations don't pay taxes to the developing governments that need the revenue most. Between 2000 and 2008, $6.5 trillion left the developing world completely untaxed. If this money would have been taxed modestly, we wouldn't be facing a global debt crisis and there would be better access to food in the poorest countries. Poor countries become trapped in cycles of borrowing because corporations keep more profits for themselves by avoiding paying taxes in these countries. A key way this legislation curbs tax avoidance is by requiring country-by-country reporting of corporate payments to governments.
The Senate bill includes specific provisions to combat offshore tax abuses. This is good legislation that also has positive impacts for us in the United States, curbs corruption globally and gives us the information we need to start addressing global corporate tax avoidance.

Take action and tell your Senators and Representative to support legislative measures for responsible lending and borrowing. Such measures would benefit the world's poorest and most vulnerable. The U.S. government can implement concrete principles of responsible lending and borrowing to promote democracy, combat corruption and ensure sustainable development for the Global South.
Please send a message right now to your Senate and House Members telling them to support legislative measures for responsible lending and borrowing at the IMF, World Bank and other International Financial Institutions.
The U.S. is the world's single largest financier of the developing world and the largest contributor to the IMF and the World Bank. Jubilee USA is moving the U.S. government because of its tremendous leverage in promoting responsible lending and borrowing practices. Because of the efforts of Jubilee USA, the U.S. government has endorsed the voluntary principles of responsible lending and borrowing that were developed by the United Nations. We need to ensure that future loans to low-income countries are beneficial, contracted transparently, are repayable and are supported by the citizens of those countries. We are mobilizing our members across the country to urge Members of Congress to support legislative measures for responsible lending and borrowing.
Jubilee USA and our counterparts at the Zimbabwe Coalition on Debt and Development (ZIMCODD) are calling for a debt audit to uncover the origins of $7 billion of Zimbabwe's debt.

5 Tips to Stress-Free Traveling
As the holiday season draws near, we add more complications to our already-busy lives with travel, family, and heavy meals. There are no bullet-proof methods to avoid issues when you travel, but there are ways to make it easier and less stressful. Below are my TOP 5 suggestions to incorporate into your travel planes to maintain your health and sanity.
1. Wear comfortable clothes. This doesn't mean dressing like a slob. I travel in yoga pants (I just discovered Victoria's Secret Classic Yoga Pant (they even come in long) and they are only $29.50) and LOVE them. These sleek, black, boot-cut pants go great with boots and a sweater, while also keeping you comfortable for long periods of sitting.
2. Long Lay-Over? No sweat, stretch it out! Airlines aren't perfect, and these days to save money often means flying through unnecessary cities just to keep costs down. This also means long lay-overs. Take advantage of this time. I look for a deserted gate (close to mine) and sit on the ground and stretch (another reason to wear yoga plants while traveling). Even 20 minutes to stretch out some major muscle groups (i.e. hamstrings, quads, groin, neck), twist my spine, and rotate joints is key to easing travel tension (physically and mentally). If you are driving for more than 3 hours, take some extra time at a gas station to stretch.
3. Pack your own snacks. This is SO important to keeping healthy and not arriving at your destination bloated and regretful of the junk that fueled you during your trip. Check out my favorite healthy travel snacks. Most importantly always have fresh fruits and veggies and then find some wholesome, healthy snack foods (look for whole grains and low sodium/low sugar treats.)
4. Hydrate! We forget to drink enough water when we travel. Whether we are trying to avoid too many bathroom stops or it simply slips our mind, this is one thing NOT to forget! Traveling through various climates, being exposed to airborne illnesses and using more energy that we think, water is vital to keeping your body feeling good and your mind feeling fresh. Plus, it will also help relieve the puffiness that sometimes accompanies long travel. So drink up!
5. Wash your hands. Hundreds of thousands of people are traveling every minute of every day…meaning germs are on everything you touch! From the handrail to the doorknob, one of the best things you can do to stay healthy is consciously wash your hands with warm water and soap (be sure to scrub for 20-30 seconds to kill all germs). Hand sanitizers and wet wipes only go so far. To this day, the best form of hygiene is good ol' soap and water.
