Frequently Asked Questions
Information about Census
Census results
FAQ - answer
Why is the census done?
The main benefits of census include:
a list of inhabitants, housing and dwelling stock on one specific date in accordance with assigned criteria, which is the foundation for the continuation of chronological series from which statistics arise and which become the fundamental informational source for various plans and decision-making;
the formulation of the inhabitants' characteristics, which has a declarative character and cannot be determined in any other way than a person being asked about his religious denomination, his nationality, his education and so on;
the provision of data about the number of houses and dwellings, about their structure, about the quality of the housing and dwelling stock, about the standard of living of the population and of each type of household;
the development of fundamentals for assessing the long-term population development, the structure of settlement, migration, the structure of households and the housing and dwelling stock based on data, which is methodically comparable to past censuses;
the interconnection of data about the inhabitants and households with other data determined by a census;
the processing of results for the smallest territorial units possible starting with statistical census districts and basic residential units and the summarization of these results into parts of municipalities, municipalities up to regions, cohesion regions (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics - NUTS2) and the Czech Republic;
an objective foundation for international comparison and for defining the position of the Czech Republic within the European Union and at a wider international context.

From today on, every thursday you'll get tutorials/inspiration posts on this blog.
Today, I wanted to talk about PROJECT LIFE. YES. Everybody is talking about PL and Im no exception. Just wanted to share my thoughts and how I'm going to organize myself for this one-year project, because YEAH : I'M IN! :)
I had already heard about PROJECT LIFE before but never really paid attention, because I considered myself too busy to even read more about this concept.
And then, came three girls that totally convinced me to give it a try : Lisa Truesdell, Nicole Harper and Marcy Penner. Their approaches to PROJECT LIFE totally seduced me and with the amazing things I've seen on their blogs, well yeah, I wanted to be in the COOL circle too :)
So I'm doing it. I'm doing PROJECT LIFE.
I already organized myself : I have a corner in my scraproom that is only dedicated to PROJECT LIFE, I have a notebook that follows me everywhere (thanks Danda for the sweet gift!) and a nice box to store all of my products!
But, if you've never heard about PROJECT LIFE before, you might be wondering what it is exactly.
Well, let Becky Higgins explain her own project to you with this video.
Document your everyday. Your husband. Your kids. Your loved ones. Your neighbourhood. Your city. Your country. The world. WELL : everything that is AROUND you. And of course : YOURSELF.
The everyday. The magic.
Share something happy. Something sad.
That's why I wanna do it.
I want to document those little moments in my life, or those extraordinary days as well.
But let's start with : OR-GA-NI-ZA-TION.
You can't commit to a one-year-long project without a tiny bit of organization.
Here's what I need to get started.
One American Crafts album. You can definitely order the PROJECT LIFE products on Amazon if you live outside of Europe, or on AMAZON UK soon for you Europeans.
You can order your PROJECT LIFE page protectors on Amazon but you can definitely adapt whatever page protectors you have in hand, like those American Crafts ones which are perfect!
3. A BOX (to hide the mess and keep your favorite PROJECT LIFE stash in one place)
6x6" paper pads would be the best for me on this project (as I rarely ever use those - one good reason to use them for my inserts)
LOVE those by Elle's Studio, Studio Calico, SMASH!, American Crafts & Ormolu and looking forward to receiving those!
Couldn't resist ordering those beautiful digital Paislee Press journaling cards.
Kesiart stickers, of course!!!
Alphas and other sticky embellishments.
Ormolu & Marcy Penner. Ordered those below yesterday from Marcy as well.
My Kesiart will be perfect for WORDS, SENTENCES, DETAILS.
Des BACKGROUND stamps from Studio Calico to create my own journaling cards.
My other favorite Studio Calico stamps (available on the Studio Calico shop).
Those are the SC stamps received in kits stored in a Storage Panel.
CHALK inks by Prima. Curious about those inks? Read a review HERE.
Wiht my dear BIG SHOT or with the Cameo.
To keep track of it all.
HOW to organize your PHOTOS?
Create a SPECIAL PROJECT LIFE forlder on your computer and add whatever photo you wanna scrapbook in there.
Don't forget to edit them though!
Don't forget that this is a STRESS FREE project : if you can't do anything for 3 weeks, never mind, you'll catch up whenever you can.
No time or possibility to grab your camera with you? Well, you might have a camera on your mobile phone then :)
A very busy week and no interesting things to tell? Well, talk about your everyday, what seems boring to you but can be a good old souvenir in a couple of years :)
Are you ready to dive in PROJECT LIFE? I AM!
Take care!

December 18, 2014
Police in Indiana say five deer that wandered onto a highway overpass have jumped to their deaths on Interstate 69, one of them crashing through a tractor-trailer's windshield.
Indiana Department of Natural Resources spokesman John Salb says the deer may have been spooked by cars as they were crossing the overpass Friday. They fell 20 to 30 feet onto the highway.
Police say the driver of the tractor-trailer rig struck by one of the deer was not injured.
Late fall is stressful for deer because it is hunting season, said DNR spokesman Phil Bloom said.
Farmers are also removing the last of their crops from the fields, reducing the animals' food supply as the animals' breeding season is in full swing.

It's Fall – time to think about vitamin D
Well, it's always a good time to think about vitamin D, but since we're heading into November fast, its now that those great vitamin D levels of the summer (that is, if you actually got out into the sun this summer) start waning. Vitamin D is used in a myriad of mechanisms throughout the body. Since you're been paying attention to this blog, you know how important it is.
The 'new' things in this post aren't all that different than what you've been hearing me harp on for months now, but I did come across a few things I hadn't seen:
- University of California San Diego and Grassroots health have teamed up again to present an updated set of video seminars on the latest vitamin D research:
Here are a few teasers:
Vitamin D: Nutrient, Not A Drug
Vitamin D: Role in Preventing Cancer
Vitamin D: Pregnancy and Lactation – Preventing Complications, Growing Healthy Babies
- Our favorite 'just outside the mainstream' doctor – Joseph Mercola – has a great Vitamin D resource center on his website. He keep it all fresh and is always on the lookout for the new evidence:
Keep that 25 (OH) Vitamin D level above 60. You can thank me later.
Autism – Nutrition and Supplementation
Sean Croxton at Underground Wellness has done it again. Careful readers of my blog will know I refer to him frequently and read him often. He recently interviewed Julie Matthews. Ms. Matthews is the author of Nourishing Hope for Autism.
|Nourishing Hope for Autism: Nutrition Intervention for Healing Our Children
As friends of parents of children who are living with autism, I have a very tenuous, tangential view of the challenges families raising children with autism have.
Ms. Matthews offers a refreshing view on the genesis of autism and approaches that can ameliorate the condition. Given the explosion of autism diagnoses in recent years, this is a topic that will likely touch us all.
Take a listen to the interview and my hope it this will at least educate you and at best provide some help.
See more about Ms. Matthews work at http://nurishinghope.com.
Fish oil–goood!
Now some welcome news for a change. this one comes from the good 'ol mainstream press:
Fish Oil Supplements Linked to Lower Risk of Breast Cancer
Seems researchers found a strong correlation between reduced breast cancer risk and regular supplementation with fish oil. The study was conducted by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center a short drive from my house in Seattle (was that too much self-disclosure?).
Here's the salient finding:
When the researchers looked at the women who took the fish oil supplements, they found they had a 32 percent reduced risk of breast cancer, which appeared to be restricted to invasive ductal breast cancer, the most common type.
It would be disingenuous of me not to point out the shortcomings of this finding (since I'm so quick to point out shortcomings of announcements with which I disagree). This does not appear to have been a controlled study - these same women who take the fish oil may also practice more healthy behavior overall than those who didn't take the fish oil. It should also be noted this correlation does not, in and of itself, establish causation (i.e. one can't infer that taking fish oil causes the reduce incidence of breast cancer).
All that said, I think it's certainly a worthwhile thing to consider. You know, talk to your doctor and all that.
Here's the link to the study abstract for good measure. The full text appears to be behind a pay wall, so if you want to see the whole study, you'll have to bum a copy off of your local neighborhood oncologist.
p.s. I'm posting this while 36,000 ft over southern Oregon via the extra minty fresh GoGo In-Flight wi-fi service on my flight from San Diego. Will wonders ever cease?
'Aerobic' exercise – another chink in the armor
An article on the NPR blog caught my eye today:
Americans Exercise More, But Still Get Fatter
Well, the headline got it right, but when you read the post, you get the same yadda, yadda about 'lowering caloric input,' 'avoiding fat,' and 'exercising more.'
Just another reminder to look the other way when you hear the conventional wisdom. There is a new wave coming. Stick with me and I'll keep you right out front on the leading edge.
Interestingly, the article does not appear with the link above any more. Here's the article I coped from my
Our workouts aren't keeping up with our pig-outs.
That fitness routine is soooo not working. More Americans are spending some of their leisure time exercising, yet folks just keeps piling on the pounds.
Here are the cold, hard facts. About 35 percent of adults engage regularly in physical activity when they're not working, according to estimates based on a 2009 nationwide survey. That's up from 32 percent in 2008.
Now, what's the scale tell us? Not good. More people in the U.S. are obese than ever. In 2009, about 28 percent of people in the U.S. were obese, up a fraction of a percent from 2008.
But hop in the Wayback Machine and check the weights in 1997. Nineteen percent of people in the U.S. were considered obese then.
There's not a moment to lose in doing something to reverse the weight trend. A recent study found that a substantial decline in the rate of heart attacks could be fleeting as obesity and diabetes become more prevalent.
Exercise can only burn so many calories. Eating better is crucial. Recommendations for new nutritional guidelines would cut saturated fats even more than in the past and promote healthier foods, like fruits and vegetables.
But maybe you want to try some more reps of that time-honored weight-loss exercise move — pushing back from the dinner table.
What you *really* need to do to be healthy (which, by the way, will lead to healthy weight) is drastically reduce carbohydrate consumption (eliminate sweets and processed carbs), get your inflammation down (principally by upping your Omega-3 and reducing your Omega-6), getting your Vitamin D in a good range (50ng/ml, remember?) and lifting heavy things on a regular basis (see my BBS posts).
None of this aerobics and calorie restriction, OK?
Blackhawks Win! Credit Vitamin D?
Well, they hockey team I grew up rooting for growing up in Chicago (I was joking that I was a fan so long ago, it was before the Espositos went to the Bruins) has won the Stanley Cup for the first time in almost 50 years.
Fitting now that I post about their being the first 'Vitamin D' team to win a championship.
Check out this article from the Vitamin D council ont he subject.
Wonder if Dr. Joseph Mercola had anything to do with this (having his practice in Chicago, and all).
No doubt will inspire others.
By the way, if you want to see the clinical evidence, take a look:
Athletic performance and vitamin D
CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D may improve athletic performance in vitamin D-deficient athletes. Peak athletic performance may occur when 25(OH)D levels approach those obtained by natural, full-body, summer sun exposure, which is at least 50 ng x mL
Be very afraid … of vitamins!
Seems every major media outlet has to have an obligatory 'be afraid of vitamins' article/editorial periodically. It's almost as if the folks a PhRMA have a database to keep track of this stuff:
PhRMA Rep Dude: Hello newspaper/TV/radio Publisher Guy. We noticed that, even though our members have booked an obscene amount of direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical ads with your company, we notice you have not recently scared the electrolytes out of your readers/viewers by telling them the will die if they take vitamin C.
Publisher Guy: Oh, my apologies, PhRMA Rep Dude, we'll get right on it. In fact, we have a set of stock editorials from which we pull this content to publish periodically. What with all the terror scares, economic re-meltdown, deadly earthquakes/aftermaths, mortgage crisis, undersea oil gushers and Jon & Kate news, it must have slipped off the queue momentarily. Rest, assured, we'll get that one up right away.
PhRMA rep dude: You would do well to make good on this, Publisher Guy. You know we're subsidizing the last two 'real news' reporters on staff. Hop to it.
So what's got me spinning out on a random association tangent today? This 'editorial' in USA today:
Our view on pills and potions: Do you really know what's in that dietary supplement?
Here's a fun little tidbit:
Researchers at an accredited lab working for Congress' non-partisan Government Accountability Office recently found traces of potentially hazardous contaminants in almost all of the 40 supplement products tested.
"Mommy, Mommy, please protect me from that scary Vitamin E."
It did not escape my notice that in this very same issue (6/8/2010), there were several 'news' articles extolling the virtues of the latest pharmaceutical drug that may extend life about four months if you (well, we mostly) spend about $30,000/month for the drug.
Let's have a few numbers for perspective. Way back in 1999, the Institute of Medicine published a landmark book called To Err is Human. In it, among other things, it cited 98,000 deaths in the US caused by medical care. To be clear, this was not the total number of deaths from all causes, these were deaths directly attributable to contact with the medical care system. While the book did not tease out how many of these deaths were specifically related to adverse drug reactions (ADRs), it is well understood that ADRs are a significant contributor.
More recently (in 2008), in a study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology (note: not published in the US) It is estimated 3% of all deaths in the general population of industrialized countries are as a result of adverse drug reactions. In the US, the conservative estimate puts us at about 70,000 deaths per year directly related to legal pharmaceutical drugs (total of 2.4 mm deaths/year in US). Contrast this with the number of deaths from vitamins/supplements (namely, –0- in the typical year) and it's not hard to see that we have our scary headlines misplaced.
What I find even more remarkable is how little information there is out there that probes the issue of the safety of pharmaceuticals in aggregate. You'd think that if the Institute of Medicine estimates some large number of people are killed by sanctioned, 'on-label' use of pharmaceuticals, we would have studied it more, here eleven years on. The silence is deafening, to borrow a shop worn cliché.
Here is your takeaway: the next time you see the "What about the health risks of vitamins" headline (and, make no mistake, you will see them popping up like clockwork), remember two numbers: *70,000* and *0*.
Racial Opportunities – Vitamin D (again!)
At the risk of changing my 'Health Man' blog into the 'Vitamin D' blog, I come to you – once again – with more vital information about Vitamin D.
In a previous post, I make reference to mindboggling degree of Vitamin D deficiency among African-Americans – 97% are deficient. While we focus on African-Americans due to the relatively large population of Americans of African descent, these issues should be of concern for all people living in temperate climates with melanin-rich skin pigment.
Little did I know that in February of 2005, the Vitamin D council offered a publication titled: Racial Opportunities. In a very brief six pages, it wallops you with fact after fact, study after study that strongly correlates the much higher incidence of mortality and morbidity among African-Americans with their relatively poor Vitamin D status.
In the hopes of piquing your interest in reading this, here area a few stunners:
- Blacks are about ten times more likely to be vitamin D deficient than are whites.
- Vitamin D deficiency in African American mothers may explain the fact that black babies are more than twice as likely as whites to have low-birth-weights.
- Breast milk of black women often has undetectable levels of vitamin D.
- Fourteen diseases/conditions that have a higher incidence among African-Americans (eg, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity) also correlate with Vitamin D deficiency
This will take so little of your time to read. I hope it leads you to take ACTION.
Vitamin D Council Newsletter, February 12, 2005, "Racial Opportunities"
Pregnancy and Vitamin D
Who needs to see yet another vitamin D post from me? Seems like I covered it all before. You may be saying 'I get it already.' Well, this time, the focus is a little more specific – it's about giving our mothers and children their best shot at a healthy delivery.
In the April journal of the Obstetrics and Gynecological Survey, there was an alert put out to all Obstetricians, Gynecologists and Family Physicians regarding the mounting evidence of a a strong association between some common complications related to pregnancy and child birth (preeclampsia, spontaneous preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and fetal growth restriction) and the mother's vitamin D levels.
In fact, they highlight the "significant, intractable disparities" that exist in rates of major pregnancy outcomes between black and white women. Given, as I have noted before, that only THREE PERCENT (3%) of black people in the US have sufficient levels of circulating Vitamin D, it should not be surprising that these scientists believe there may be a connection. You may recall that this 'sufficiently' level is 30 ng/mL which is still not optimal (50 ng/mL). While we do not have broadly-collected data on this statistic, one would expect the percentage of black people in the optimal range to be very close to –0-.
There is a summary of this report available on PubMed. Also, our just slightly offbeat, but always on point Dr. Joseph Mercola has a very comprehensive write up on the topic entitled "How Sunshine Can Prevent Birth Defects". Here's just a sample of the things Dr. Mercola covers in this eye-opening article:
- Birth Defects
- Vitamin D Deficiency and Brain Damage
- Maternal Vitamin d Deficiency Causes Learning Disabilities
- Dyslexia, Poor School Attendance, Low Apgar Scores And Low Birth Weight
- African-Americans Are at a Much Higher Risk
- Severe Vitamin D Deficiency More Than 20 Times More Common in Young Black Women
You don't have to wait for all the studies to come in. Hopefully I've convinced you to alert all those who are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant need to get their Vitamin D in to the optimal range (remember, 50ng/mL).
Grassroots Health – crowdsourcing clinical research funding
Here's an innovative idea: let's say you have one of those myriad ideas about how to keep people healthy that does not involve a new molecule (pharma) or zapping a patient with neutron gamma rays (medical devices). The oft-repeated lament is "Nobody's gonna fund that, there's no money in it!"
But if it's dirt cheap and so helpful, you ought to be able to convince some large number of people (how presumably have been helped) to chip in to fund the research, huh?
Well, that's the big idea at Grassroots Health (http://grassrootshealth.net). As far as I can tell, their only (first?) area of interest is in Vitamin D sufficiency (http://grassrootshealth.net/daction). They essentially have people sign up for $60/year. By signing up, members agree to participate in an observational study tracking circulating Vitamin D concentrations (25(OH)D) against a bunch of health conditions. The long-term plan is to build up enough cash to do a clinical trial of a to-be-determined design.
Could be the start of a new model – and give the disaffected throngs a way to push their priorities and note be dictated to by the medical-industrial complex.
Primal Blueprint – Limited Time Offer
Here's a fantastic, one-day-only offer from one of my favorites. It's Mark Sisson of Mark's Daily Apple. You may recall I sent you his way in a previous post. Since then, I've been a regular reader and subscriber to his blog and have found the quality of his information to be superb and his style to be infectious. If you buy his book The Primal Blueprint from Amazon.com today (3/17/10), in addition to getting this life-changing book, you also get tons 'o goodies along with it (cribbed from his announcement e-mail):
- A personal invite to a private 2-hour Live Webcast Q&A Session. Ask me anything you want. I'll be answering as many questions as I can about weight loss, muscle building, supplementation and anything else that interests you.
- Access to the password-protected audio interview: "Special Report: 20 Reasons You're Not Losing Weight (And How to Fix Them)" ($24.99 value, yours free!)
- Access to the password-protected audio interview: "Special Report: 5 Reasons You're Sick (And How to Get Better)" ($14.99 value, yours free!)
- A convenient and exclusive e-book (PDF) of 25 Primal Blueprint Recipes from Mark's Daily Apple
- A free preview edition (PDF) of my upcoming, hardbound cookbook with 5 select Primal Blueprint Recipes
You can get the full skinny (heh, he said skinny) at the 'apple.' The deal is even sweeter if you buy more books at a pop. The price of the book is paltry compared to its worth, and you get all this extra to boot. No excuse not to take advantage of this. Mark's motivation is to raise the profile of his book so as to accelerate the broader changes we need to craft a healthier society. I'm down with that too.

Forget marriage therapy. A recent article in the New York Times calls attention to the fact that more and more couples are seeking professional help for their issues before they walk down the aisle ‑- and oftentimes before they're even engaged. The author, Zoë Wolff, states: "For unwed couples encountering problems and who have decided, at least for the moment, not to break up, therapy serves as a sort of vetting system for the relationship." But what really motivates young couples to seek this level of assistance for their problems? One theory is that the people in their 20s and 30s who grew up in the age of divorce are all too familiar with the cost of a broken home and are looking to work through their angst before the stakes get too high.
But at this stage in the game, if couples are already seeing signs of a failed relationship, can pre-marriage therapy be truly effective as a preventative measure? Can a marriage be divorce-proofed before it begins? We asked our Love Council to weigh in.

The National Head Start Association, which is fearful of sequestration cuts to the tune of $424 million next month if Congress doesn't pass a measure to reduce government spending and the federal deficit, agreed with President Obama's call "for every child in America" to be able to attend preschool during his State of the Union Address.
Sequestration of $85 billion this year and $1 trillion over the next decade was triggered by the lack of an agreement to the Bowles-Simpson deficit reduction plan last year and is set to go into effect on March 1 if Congress does not approve a new plan by then.
"Those of us who have dedicated our lives to providing early learning services to at-risk children agree wholeheartedly with the President's view that all children can benefit from access to early education," said Yasmina Vinci, NHSA's executive director. "For nearly fifty years, Head Start/Early Head Start has served as a proven model for delivering quality early education."
She added that the comprehensive Head Start model, that of combining essential social/emotional development with critical early learning skills and engaging families and communities in their children's education, shows proven results. In Obama's State of the Union on Tuesday, he cited statistics taken from a 2007 study that $7 dollars was added to the economy for every $1 dollar spent from the 1960s, when the federal program benefiting students from low-income families was implemented during the Johnson administration, through 1980s. This was due, the study concluded, to higher higher school graduation rates for Head Start students, more of these students earning college degrees and higher adult wages as a result. A 2004 study by the University of California at Los Angeles found that Head Start parents can also decrease Medicaid costs by $198 per family.
"As the plan for expanding access to early education develops, it is essential we get it right, especially in times of tight budgets. It would be a disservice to all children if we assume that interventions for young children are one-size fits all," Vinci added. "With greater investment in the right interventions, we can prepare all children to succeed in school and life."
Obama's fiscal-year 2013 budget proposal called for more than $8 billion for Head Start, and the FY continuing resolution passed by Congress has the figure at $8.017 billion, according to the House Appropriations Committee report. The federal preschool program for students from low-income families that began under President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. Obama's FY 2013 budget request represented a slight increase from the FY 2012 appropriation level of nearly $7.969 million. Sequestration would reduce the 2013 amount to $7.593 billion, on par with pre-2008 figures.
Head Start and Early Head Start serve approximately 962,000 children and families, but the National Women's Law Center said sequestration will eliminate Head Start services for 70,000 children nationwide as well as child care for an additional 30,000 children.
The FY 2013 budget calls for continued support for high-quality early education programs, even as Obama announced in November steps to improve the quality of service and accountability at Head Start centers nationwide. Obama's budget claimed that increasing federal investments in high quality early education is a key part of a broader education agenda that will strengthen the nation's competiveness and help every child reach his or her potential.
Obama's budget proposal also called for "maintaining the historic expansion undertaken in 2009–2010" and an additional $7 billion over the next 10 years to support low-income children with child care subsidies. The budget also supports what the administration called critical reforms to the Child Care Development Block Grant and provides an additional $300 million for states to improve child care quality, and ultimately help children succeed in school. The proposed budget includes increasing services for American Indians and Alaska Natives.

Hovering above your house: Regulating dronesJune 24, 2013 @ 8:55 am
Just as the use of drones - small, remote-controlled flyers with attached camera - is taking off as a marketing tactic for real estate professionals, states are taking steps to regulate the unmanned aerial vehicles.
More than 40 states have contemplated measures this year, and six have approved restrictions. Of those six, four focus on drone usage by law enforcement and/or public agencies. The other two - Texas and Idaho - regulate both public and private use.
The issue was not brought up for full House vote in Olympia before the deadline, so the topic was not considered in the recent session.
The Texas law does provide numerous exceptions, including the use of drones by "a Texas licensed real estate broker in connection with the marketing, sale, or financing of real property." However, the law would need to be revised each time a viable drone application is discovered and seeks exemption.
In addition to real estate, private drones are also used as an inspection and repair technique for oil and gas firms, and utility companies use them to monitor vegetation growth along easements. News organizations have also used drowns to collect event footage and animal rights groups have used the devices for monitoring, for example.
Testing Beginning
Twelve Seattle police officers will begin using new body-worn cameras next week

Discover Tops List of Cheapest Banks With Greatest Returns
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- A deep data dive shows there are still bargain bank stocks out there, despite the industry's overall recovery over the past two years.
The KBW Bank Index (KBW) has returned 25% this year, following a 30% return during 2012.
It's getting harder for investors to identify bank stock bargains, and the continued political and regulatory onslaught against the largest U.S. banks is holding back their valuations. Shares of JPMorgan Chase (JPM) closed at $51.95 Tuesday and appear very cheaply priced at 8.6 times the consensus 2014 earnings estimate of $6.02 a share among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. But the company booked a net loss for the third quarter as it set aside litigation reserves and may see another rocky quarter or two over the next year, as it seeks to make multiple settlements with the Department of Justice, regulators and investors.
Many investors will shy away from JPMorgan because of the regulatory uncertainty. They may well be missing out on a bargain long-term play.For these investors, looking to avoid negative surprises, we have isolated the U.S. banks that have achieved returns on average tangible common equity of over 15% for each of the past five quarters and that trade at the lowest forward price-to-earnings ratios. The data was provided by Thomson Reuters Bank Insight, and was limited to banks for which third-quarter data was available and for which a consensus 2014 EPS estimate was available. We used returns on average tangible common equity (ROTCE) in order to leave out intangible assets, such as goodwill, and to leave out earning paid out to preferred shareholders. We have identified 11 actively traded U.S. bank holding companies achieving ROTCE of over 15% over each of the past five quarters. This approach excludes many possible bargains; however, some of the names are attractively priced when considering the strong returns, relatively low risk and prospect for EPS improvement through share buybacks and increased dividends as excess capital is deployed. Among this group, Discover Financial Services (DFS) has the lowest forward price-to-earnings ratio. The company's shares closed at $51.92 Tuesday and traded for 10.2 times the consensus 2014 EPS estimate of $5.07.

I was raped by a neighbour i thought was helping - my washing machine flooded and water was leaking everywhere he fixed the machine and then raped me - I was 17 at the time it happened in my bed next just feet away from my sleeping son. I went to the police and to court - All he got was a two year suspended sentence - I have counselling , take anti depressants and keep a diary. but I'm still left with the flashbacks,nightmares daily thoughts of hatred and that I am dirty. I feel as though he has won and I will never be me again. I dont understand how the 'justice' system can let one down so much. I really find it hard to see a way out of this. It feels like the rest of my life was carved out for me that night. I just want to know if anyone else is further on in thier journey and has found a way out yet because I'm fast loosing hope.Reply

My mother had been a faithful witness for 16 yrs, she got addicted to prescription drugs and things got very bad for her. She overdosed one nite and was put in rehab. She began smoking after rehab and was disfellowhipped for it, she got a letter in the mail . I dont recall the elders or anyone , trying to help her in her time of need. Not over the drug abuse or to see if she needed help with her mental health. A few months after she was disfellowshipped , she jumped to her death and drowned. I know she was ate up with guilt at what her life had become , she was only 35 and suffered from depression and our home life was full of secrets and hypocrisey. How sad I feel to hear about the Bryant's tragedy. How many more people will choose to end thier lives than feel the pain of what they see as no way out. I feel strongly on telling this story so as to see how many people out there are suffering after being disfellowshipped. How can we help them to not end their lives? I left the borg less than a year ago, and without this internet info, I might have been a sad statistic too.

Keep asking, I'm sure there are plenty of stories just waiting to be told.
I had to choose between disappointing my family, friends, and being shunned... or suicide. It was difficult, but I chose to live for myself instead of them. I DAed myself.

nothing angers me more about the org than the disfellowshipping thing. i can deal with the children growing up with no friends or hapiness, i can handle the wasted lives preaching the bullshit but when they throw someone out in the world with nothing or noone to help them i cant stand that..it makes me so mad.
i agree with you..thank god for the internet. it gives those who have been disfellowshiped somewhere to turn. thats why its so important to keep the truth as the main focus of the sites and keep the fluff as a secondary thing.

LyinEyes, which state or province was this in? You can privately email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, or if you wish to say nothing further then we understand that too. A memorial website will be going up in memory of those who suicided and were JWs or Watchtower-impacted and to inform and deter others from becoming endangered by WTS doings.

I'm so sorry for what your mother went through, and your family in the aftermath of her untimely death.
I agree that the WTS bears part of the blame for hers and other deaths as a result of their shunning of people.
The damage, emotionally and psychologically, that this behaviour causes is frightening. They tell you 'not to isolate yourself' on the one hand, and on the other hand they're pretending they don't see you and think of you as "dead". How can a person who is experiencing mental illness like depression dig their way out of the pit of despair when the ONLY "friends" and support network they've ever HAD refuses to affirm their existence? refuses to even acknowledge their entitlement to human respect and dignity?
"By their fruits you will know them" - Matthew 7:20
"By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves" - John 13:35
They don't save their shunning behaviour for just the baddest of the bad either. I was never DFd or DAd, and have never been advised of any charges of wrongdoing against me, or invited to attend any meetings of a Judicial Committee for investigation. Yet, if a JW sees me in public, I get shunned. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't commit adultery. I guess not going door to door or attending meetings anymore is considered a "sin" now. But you know what? During the time when things were going lousy for us - I was first on bedrest for a month because of a threatened miscarriage, then after the baby came incapacitated with depression and anxiety attacks, my husband lost his job, my 3 kids got chicken pox one after the other (9 weeks of missed meetings because someone was always contagious), a back injury followed by a car accident and neck injury - NOT ONE of "the friends" even lifted a finger to encourage us. Nobody called. Nobody visited. Nobody gave a flying f*ck. And then when we get on with our lives without them, they have the AUDACITY, the GAUL, to say that we "turned our back on The Truth™". They have the BALLS to say that it wasn't anything they DID that caused US to leave THEM. In a way, they're right - they didn't DO anything. But in DOING NOTHING, they didn't make us want to stick around either. They were just like the Pharisees who taught "what you do not want others to do to you, do not do to them". That's not the "Christian" Golden Rule though. "Whatever you want men to do to you, you must do to them". And believe it or not, we found people who, like us, lived by THOSE words. Those people were Catholics. They were Protestants. Some were Pentecostals. Some were Jewish. But each one of them proved to be more Christian than all the JWs we knew put together.
That year of torture proved to me beyond the shadow of a doubt, that JWs are just like the Pharisees that Jesus condemned.
And if it weren't for those kind, good folks who showed us human compassion and dignity, I probably would not be alive today.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. My father took his life also. He put a gun to his head. My sister-in-law's brother shot himself in the head also after he learned he would be disfellowedshipped. My father was treated like dirt by the j.w.'s. His own children treated him like it was a effort and a anoance to even speak to him. Even though my father never was a j.w., they treated him like he should know better! He was very depressed and like your mother, it became to be too much for him. I will never be the same.

As was stated in both William Schnells' book '30 Years a Wathtower Slave' and Barbara Grizutti Harrison's book 'Visions of Glory'; there is no place for Jehovah's Witnesses in terrible trouble to go.
Thank God for Simon's site. JW's, non-JW's, and ex-JW's can all come HERE for help.

Topics like this can go on forever because Watchtower induced tragedies are endless. A woman in our KH killed herself after being disfellowshipped. She pioneered off and on for many years, but suffered from depression. A few months before the suicide her son was involved in an auto accident. A young JW passenger (his girlfriend) was killed when they were hit by a drunk driver. I think her son's accident pushed her into deeper depression, and she started smoking. The Watchtower and elders were nowhere to be found when she needed help, but as soon as she lit a cigarette, they were only too willing to help by shunning her.
She started the car in a closed garage, had the windows down, and a Watchtower green Bible was found beside her. I'm sure we could fill a book with tragedies helped along by life in the Watchtower fairy tale. Without thinking about it very long, I know 3 others that committed suicide while under the Tower's spell. They were all part of "God's happy people."

Dear avengers:
the WTS bears part of the blame for hers and other deathsI say all of it.!
The problem is, even if the WTS is TOTALLY to blame for any/all of these deaths, they can't even bring themselves to admit that they have the teeniest-tiniest responsibility. They consider themselves to be above reproach. Furthermore, they don't give a flip. Look at the way they refuse to hold a memorial service for the family. How cold, how callous, how "christian" is that?
The GB/WTS/JWs care only about ONE thing: pushing books down people's throats and sending the profits to the False Prophets in Brooklyn NY. If you don't keep up with them, they toss you on the garbage pile and forget about you, like you never existed.
It's cut-throat in that pack of wolves, a dog-eat-dog rat-race. I'm so glad I'm not part of it anymore.
Love, Scully

How heartbreaking is that? It just makes me SO angry and frustrated the more I hear about the tragedies that result from Watchtower treatment.
And....... it just keeps ON and ON, while the JWs smugly sit in their righteous cloak of judgement on those who left Jehovah's "Ark of protection.
DAMN!!! There isn't anything HATEFUL enough that I can WISH to happen to the Watchtower Society!

But in DOING NOTHING, they didn't make us want to stick around either.<<
I can SO relate to this! I, too, got the cold shoulder for months due to two unrelated conditions that hit me at the same time. The last few meetings that I went to, I was "back" on crutches again, after going through a bout in a wheelchair, crutches, and then remission.....and back on crutches again when this all happened.
It just HURT so bad, cuz I was always there for everyone else when I was ABLE bodied, fixing meals, etc, all the things one DOES for others, which I DIDN'T mind DOING at all, but when *I* just could have used a phone call (I DID get a card from an elderly sister) but several JW families have to go right by here to get to the KH, so they HAD to feel "somewhat" awkward going right past, knowing no one gave a crap about stopping in when they WEREN'T rushing off to a meeting, ya know?
I misspoke here......I got one call per month at the end of the month...to see if I had any FIELD SERVICE to report! GRRRRR
Actually, the last meeting I went to, it was made known that a man who'd been studying for about a year or so (I had JUST seen him and talked with him the previous day) had been found that night---he'd shot himself with a pistol. It hit me SO hard, I came home and bawled for a long time-and I couldn't even say WHY it affected me that way, I didn't know him WELL.
I can pinpoint the fact that THAT incident was the beginning of my journey out.....I began to "peek" at H2O and arjw, but was still defending the religion, which led to a lot of links to apostate (LOL) websites and some informative <grin> discussions.
And STILL no friendly visits, phone calls or cards from my "friends", then the summer came and went--nobody called to see if my grandson (lives with us) would like to go swimming with the KH kids, or do ANYTHING with them (what did HE do to be snubbed?) and it burnt me up inside. Of course, if I'd been an Elder's wife.......
I wrote to the Elder's in October, to tell THEM how I felt, and that I didn't deserve this treatment after almost 30 years, and I had some serious thinking to do about a lot of things especially the lack of love I was definetly feeling and that now it was MY choice-to be left alone-until *I* chose to go back to the meetings again or not.
They couldn't get over here fast enough or often enough-now that I PREFERRED to NOT "enjoy their company". It pissed me off even MORE!
It's all about control-THEIRS-and I STILL resent it even now.
As for the "time" I'd like to "report"?
I've spent MORE time "whole-souled" in WARNING people about the Watchtower Society, than I did going door-to-door trying to INTEREST people in JOINING the Society! LOL!

After surviving my father's suicide, and coming out of the *truth*, I've finally found some peace. I deal with my j.w. and non-j.w family on and off. I've learned not to react to them anymore. I know their mind sit. I know their limits. Hell I know what their thinking and saying behind my back. I use to be just like them!!! I ex'ed myself a few years back when reality hit me in the face like a two-by-fore. It's a long story, but I will say....the elders have no training in dealing with the mentally ill...someone that suffers from depression. My father *who completed suicide* was always told and had the belief *even though he was a j.w.* that he was depressed because he wasn't spiritualy strong. If he would go to the meetings and quit smoking and bla bla bla, he wouldn't be depressed. Well, he would try it...for awhile....get a study going again...stop smoking...then stop and start all over again. Now I realize, now that I realize alot of things, I too suffer from depression, I have bpmd...I'm bi-polar and my father was also. Only back then, what the hell was bi-polar! His V.A. doctors would load him up with valium and he would wash them down with his friend jack. Needless to say, it didn't go well together. I could write a book! The time he got drunk and pissed off and knocked the one and only Christmas tree we ever had, over....tossed the t.v. out the front door...it rolled down the front lawn and the mailbox stopped it from rolling in the road! Oh the cherrished memories of my j.w. childhood. Mama would load us up in our station wagon and off we'd go to the kingdom hall!!!
