I have mentioned in many of my past columns, with very fond memories, of the years we lived in Henryville, Ind.
Words cannot describe what my whole family feels about the devastation they have gone through, and yet they have picked themselves up and are going forward as best they can. Even though we moved many times when our children were growing up (due to job transfers), our children consider it their hometown.
Each year, March is designated as National Nutrition Month by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, formerly the American Dietetic Association. Americans are encouraged to return to the basics of healthy eating with this year's theme "Get Your Plate in Shape."

Riding shotgun in a mammoth Suburban barreling from Port Arthur to Beaumont, the Democratic nominee for governor of Texas is putting on her face. Balancing a compact on one knee, splaying a lipstick between two taut fingers like a smokeless stogie, Ann Richards retouches while she gets the drill from her entourage – two trial lawyers, a football coach, her son Dan, a press aide. It is late afternoon, and she is heading for a meeting with black supporters. "He'll be the biggest contributor there?" she asks of one name on the invitation list, as she fixes a line under her eyes. "Do you know what he does for a living?" she asks of another, sketching in her mouth with a red pencil.
It has been an antic East Texas summer day, just a shade out of kilter, and the candidate looks tired. Coffee with the boys before a Rotary luncheon speech in Beaumont was interrupted by an eccentric local woman who fluttered around Richards like an anxious moth. Then the Rotary speech got off to a slow start because each visitor – and there were many – was required to stand and be greeted by the eerie, high pitched whistles of the members. Richards' appearance had a dissonance of its own – something about the bold red suit and yellow blouse, the spectacular snowy-white hair, and the weathered face that could belong to a rancher's widow seemed out of place in this baroque part of Texas, where things tend to be intricate and obscure. She seemed a bit stiff, and her fabled humor wasn't coming across. A mildly off-color joke seemed indelicate, and her message of a New Texas – which includes "buying," "building," and "selling" everything from mohair to pasta manufacturing plants to supercolliders – did not galvanize this Golden Triangle group. The Beaumont Rotary listened politely to Ann Richards, but the Beaumont Rotary was unmoved.
Later, she blossomed before her truest believers at the opening of a new headquarters in a sun-bleached strip shopping center in Nederland. This was a picture-perfect Democratic crowd – working-class blacks and Hispanics, single mothers with small children, thick young women in T-shirts, and grizzled union men who have toiled far too long in petrochemical plants. When Ann Richards pulled into the parking lot, it was hard to tell who needed whom more, whether she had jumped from the Suburban or had been pulled from it by the adoring surge. "HaharyewDarlin!Haharyew!" she would say, and the disappointment of the morning faded away.
Now, heading back to Beaumont, she must keep up a good front. But the face beneath her freshly applied mask belongs not to the easygoing, irreverent Ann Richards of Austin mythology but to the embattled Ann Richards of post-primary, post- Jim Mattox reality. Behind the shadow and liner, her clear blue eyes are pained and angry, bearing a look that is at once assessing, impatient, and pleading. She snaps her compact shut and grimaces. "Okay," she says, "I've painted on everything I've got in my purse."
The briefing begins again – who's who, who hasn't given what. On a portable phone, the coach plans her entrance to the evening's fish fry. "Man, don't they love those portable telephones," Richards cracks. "It's just like playing army." One of the lawyers reminds her to get the names right. "You'll be lucky if I remember your first name," she shoots back. Then she turns toward the window and the scraggly pines along the highway.
"I tell you, it's terrible to have a reputation for being perfect," Ann Richards says before adding, almost to herself, " 'cause when you fail …" For a long minute, silence overtakes the Suburban, and the only sound is that of the wheels grabbing the asphalt and pushing on, regardless.
Failure and perfection have rarely been so perilously linked in the life of Ann Richards, 57, as they are now. Invincible just nine short months ago, her foundering campaign is the great mystery of this political season. This is, after all, Ann Richards, whose friends are incapable of describing her without using the word "perfect." Ann Richards, who gets pretty near straight A's for her terms as Travis Country commissioner and state treasurer. Ann Richards, whose keynote speech made her the darling of the 1988 Democratic National Convention and who, in last spring's primary, trounced Jim Mattox, the proverbial meanest mother of Texas politics. And yet, it is this Ann Richards who, by late summer, could not get out from under what Austin pundits called "the negatives" – the damage done by Mattox, who fixed Richards in the minds of many voters as a divorced, dope-smoking liberal with a rabid lesbian following. It is this Ann Richards who finds herself struggling to raise money, suffering from hostile relations with a once-friendly press, searching for a strategy, and worst of all, trailing in the polls behind Clayton Williams, a candidate who only last year was seen as nothing more than a rich clown in a cowboy hat. Even among her loyal followers, the question is raised tentatively but persistently: "Why can't Ann Richards give me a reason to vote for her?"
A blue-black blanket has settled over the East Texas sky by the time Richards arrives at the fish fry to speak before about one thousand members of the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers International Union. Southeast Texas is due its slice of the economic pie, she tells this cheering crowd, which during the primary belonged to Mattox. After the speech, Richards works the line of hungry diners, standing a little closer than most people would dare, her fingers tapping a forearm here, her eyes scanning a face there like a lover searching for the once acceptable truth. In this hard-times crowd, people seem both drawn to and dizzied by the buffed and polished Richards. Each time she stops to press the flash, someone seems to have a camera ready. A minuet ensues: Richards steps forward, and though she is

Marston's Says First-Half Profit Rose 46% on Sales, Lower Costs
May 19 (Bloomberg) -- Marston's Plc, the pub owner that runs the Pitcher & Piano chain, said first-half profit rose 46 percent as revenue increased and finance costs fell.
Net income climbed to 30.3 million pounds ($49 million), or 5.3 pence per share, for the 26 weeks ended April 2, from 20.7 million pounds, or 3.6 pence a share, a year earlier, the Wolverhampton, England-based company said in a statement today. Revenue rose 2.8 percent to 317.9 million pounds and finance costs fell 21 percent to 30.8 million pounds.
Marston's is trying to counter the impact of cheap beer at supermarkets such as Tesco Plc by promoting food at its pubs. Comparable food sales rose 5 percent, the company said.
"The performance of the group in the first-half of the year has been encouraging," Ralph Findlay, chief executive officer of Marston's, said in today's statement. "This has continued with good trading over the Easter period."
Marston's, whose share price has risen around 12 percent in the past year, maintained an interim dividend of 2.1 pence per share.

The memorial to Dwight D. Eisenhower proposed by architect Frank Gehry fails miserably to capture the essence of our 34th president. Bruce Cole's article "Doing Right by Ike" in a recent issue of THE WEEKLY STANDARD makes this point, coupled with this indisputable plea: Let's give Ike the memorial he deserves.
During my thirty years of military service, I had the honor and privilege to be in the presence of President Eisenhower on three occasions, each time reinforced my image of him not only as a great man but as a great leader of men.
The first time I was in Ike's presence was in June 1945, when he came to West Point. He had just witnessed victory in Europe in May 1945, and because he was 'busy' running the war in Europe, he had missed his son John's graduation. Major General Francis Wilby, then the superintendant of the academy, decided cadets should honor Ike with a parade. At the time, the class of 1945 had just graduated and the class of 1946 was away for training or on leave, so the only class at the Academy was mine—the class of 1947.
We had just finished our first (plebe) year and there were no upperclassmen to serve as commanders of companies, battalions, and the "adjusted" regiment. So, the class of 1947 alone put on a parade in full field uniform and with fixed bayonets. After the parade, we were assembled in Washington Hall for our noon meal. There, we stood beside our tables and at rigid attention, awaiting Ike's arrival. He soon appeared accompanied by the Superintendant and his staff and took his place on the elevated deck looking down on us young cadets. And then he spoke: "What's the matter, gentlemen, don't you all have seats?" He addressed us not as a war hero and a visiting 5-star general, but more like an old soldier or an uncle talking to men who were brand new to the profession of arms. We melted at his words, and we were transformed from being at rigid attention to smiles and laughter. I doubt any of us ever forgot that moment of witnessing Eisenhower's brand of leadership.
My next encounter was in 1954, when I was appointed to serve as a White House social aide under President Eisenhower. For two years it was my duty to assist Ike and the first lady, Mamie, in hosting guests/VIPs, like Mary the queen mother of England, ambassadors, members of Congress, etc. Before Christmas 1954, and again in 1955, I and the other twenty aides were guests at a party in the Eisenhowers' living quarters in the White House. The president, Mrs. Eisenhower, and Mrs. Dowd, Mamie's mother, formed a receiving line to welcome each of us aides. The president gave us each a copy of his painting of Gilbert Stuart's "George Washington." And in 1955, Ike's gift to each aide was a lithograph of his painting "A Colorado Landscape."
In the receiving line of 1955, I said to the president, "I'm going home on leave and intend to ask a special young lady named Ann to marry me." He responded, "Don't worry, she'll accept." A few months later, I was required to abdicate my position as an aide, because as a married officer I was no longer eligible to be a White House social aide. Ann and I invited the Eisenhowers to our wedding in Kansas City, Missouri, even though we knew it was very unlikely they would be able to come to the ceremony. Nevertheless, we were pleased when we received a very warm and sincere telegram from the Eisenhowers congratulating us and wishing us many years of happiness. On June 24, 2012, we celebrated our 56th anniversary.
My third personal interaction with Ike was in 1966, when I was an Air Force colonel attending the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF) in Washington, D.C. Ike came to ICAF to speak to a joint session of the student bodies of ICAF and the National War College. I was chosen to be one of a handful of students who would have coffee with Ike during the time between his inspiring presentation and the usual Q&A session. Ike had a special attachment to ICAF, as he was an early advocate for the need to educate military officers in the "art" of mobilizing our country's resources for national defense. In the 1930s, Ike had worked closely with Bernard Baruch (chairman of the War Industries Board and advisor to several presidents) in developing the curriculum for ICAF. For his contributions to ICAF, Eisenhower Hall is the school's main building.
Bruce Cole's comments are right: What architect Frank Gehry has designed is a "monstrosity." In no way does it reflect Eisenhower's leadership.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Bruce Newman drives Ferraris, Aston Martins and other exotic vehicles on a regular basis, but never has to change the oil or make a car payment.
That's because he belongs to San Francisco's Club Sportiva, one of a handful of car-sharing clubs that let well-heeled consumers drive super-premium vehicles whenever they want.
"If I feel like taking out an Aston Martin for the weekend, I drive it around, get it dirty, then drop it off Monday morning on my way to work," Newman says. "Feel like arriving in the Audi R8, with its sleek lines and rumbly raw power? No problem."New York, San Francisco and a few other cities around the world have car-sharing clubs that offer members the chance to drive everything from $278,000 Ferrari 458 Italias to $120,000 Tesla (TSLA) Roadster electric sports cars. "We're an authentic group of car guys who have fun driving fancy cars and doing other cool stuff," says Zac Moseley of New York's Classic Car Club Manhattan. Many car-sharing clubs folded during the Great Recession, but a few remain. Members typically pay anywhere from $1,000 to more than $10,000 to join, plus around $150 a month in dues. That usually gives you "points" to use toward borrowing different exotic cars. The fancier the vehicle and the more popular the rental period (summer Saturdays trump winter Wednesdays), the more points you'll need. For example, borrowing a 1969 MGC for a winter weekday costs 8 points (worth around $72) at Classic Car Club Manhattan. But driving a Ferrari for a two-day summer weekend will set you back 288 points -- equivalent to about $2,600. If you want more points than your membership allows, clubs often let you buy extras for an additional price. Some groups also let non-members rent exotic cars without joining the club, while many sell special day trips that let you test several cool cars in one shot. Classic Car Club Manhattan calls its $600 outings "autogasms." Typically, six clients will take out a half-dozen super-premium vehicles -- stopping for an upscale lunch and switching cars now and then so everyone gets to drive everything. Car-sharing clubs also usually have private clubhouses that include bars, cigar lounges and other amenities, making them great places to take clients or just hang out with fellow auto enthusiasts. "We like to think of our club as similar to a high-end golf or tennis club," says Sia Bani of Club Sportiva, which has three such lounges around the San Francisco Bay area. "People join not just to drive, but also to network and enjoy their hobby with friends." Men typically make up around 90% of car-sharing clubs' membership bases, which generally include a mix of upscale professionals and business executives. "We have everything from celebrities and Silicon Valley CEOs to dentists, doctors and lawyers," says Bani, who co-owns Club Sportiva with fellow entrepreneur Rick Gaan. Bani estimates Club Sportiva's 90 members range in age from 25 to 75 and have at least $200,000 in annual household income. Club owners say the biggest thing they offer members is access to super-premium cars without the expense or headache of actually owning such vehicles. Moseley says having your own exotic car in Manhattan means spending a bundle on parking and insurance, finding a suburban mechanic to fix it -- and taking the train home whenever your ride is in the shop. "If you own a vintage Ferrari or another vehicle that's substantial, you end up putting your life into it," he says. "The biggest advantage of a car-sharing club is not just that it's more economical with your money, but also that it's more economical with your time."

Qatar Airways sells stake in Cargolux carrier
Sunday - 1/13/2013, 6:50am EST
DOHA, Qatar (AP) - The head of Qatar Airways says the carrier has sold its entire 35 percent stake on the freight hauler Cargolux back to authorities in Luxembourg.
The move comes just months after Qatar Airways boosted cargo services to the U.S. via Cargolux's base. Qatar Airways bought the 35 percent stake in Cargolux in June.
Qatar Airways CEO Akbar al-Baker says the deal was finalized Jan. 1 to sell the share back to the Luxembourg state. He told reporters Sunday that Luxembourg viewed Cargolux as a national carrier that should be fully owned by the state.
Al-Baker said the Doha-based airline is not actively seeking any new alliances or purchases, but is carefully studying reforms that could open the Indian market.

Be sure to see Saturday's Post & Mail for the Saturday Selfie feature. Would you like to be seen in the newspaper? We're soliciting your selfies.
The Post & Mail would like Whitley County residents to email their selfie pics for a special Saturday feature promoting area people.
Selfies can include you and a friend or family member. Those who submit photos must be willing to accept a reply message that includes 10 quick questions that require a couple of short answers. Your photo and your answers will be published in a weekend issue of The Post & Mail.
Pictured is Sue L'Esperance, Salvation Army volunteer and expert pie baker, prepared 12 pies from scratch for Saturday's Fundraiser at Grace Lutheran Church.
Pictured above, Key Club members from Columbia City High School, volunteered at Saturday's pasta dinner at Zion Lutheran Church.
Pictured from left to right are: Brea Fisher (16), Dakota Studebaker (15), Lt. Karen Pommier, of the Salvation Army, Natalie Johnson (16), Jenna Deathe (16), Katie Weigel (16) Key Club members volunteer at a variety of activities in Columbia City.
Pictured is Leann Snyder (left) and Vickie Smith, associates with South Whitley's public library, serve up cookies and information to Expo visitors Saturday.
Jane Hicks, left, stops to ask Canda Goldwood some questions regarding her organic plants and flowers. Goldwood was one of several vendors from the Whitley County Farmers Market at the Expo Saturday.
COLUMBIA CITY — A woman who sold prescription drugs to a life-long friend was sentenced to the Whitley County Jail for six years this week.
Carrie L. Hammons, 37, of Columbia City, will serve three of those years at the jail, with an assignment to work release, and the balance of the sentence will be suspended, for dealing a Schedule I, II or III controlled-substance.
At the sentencing hearing, Hammons' attorney, Robert W. Love, argued that a mitigating circumstance was that Hammons sold the drugs, which were pills of oxycodone, to a friend she had known most of her life.
COLUMBIA CITY — The Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary of Whitley County held a fundraiser at Grace Lutheran Church Saturday evening.
"Approximately eighty-seven cents per dollar that is made goes back to community services." Stated Lieutenant Karen Pommier of Warsaw.
Originally from Mexico, Pommier and her husband first heard of the Salvation Army from her Pastor in East Chicago. "We didn't realize there is a whole arena that is served, homeless shelters, sex trafficking, orphanages; it's just not bell ringing and a store."
COLUMBIA CITY — More than 1,500 people visited the Whitley County Expo Saturday.
The annual event, sponsored by the Whitley County Chamber of Commerce, was held at Indian Springs Middle School and featured dozens of vendors, businesses and nonprofits from around the area.
"It's been a good day," said Doug Brown, director for the chamber. "We've worked to spread out the entertainment to go throughout the day so there's been a steady crowd the whole time."

Caregiver Questions Answered by Jordan Rosenberg
Answers Provided: 17
Subsidized Housing
my 88 year old mom needs subsidized housing and lives on about 12 to $13,000 a year. She lives in Oregon, is on Social Security. I need to find out if there are other financial assistance programs to take her out of the poverty level.
Jordan R.'s Expert Answer:
In addition to the resources suggested by Ms. Fodrini-Johnson, I would add that you can search for, call, and consult (even for period's of time, like an hour) with a Geriatric Care Manager and other eldercare professionals, using
the MyAgingFolks search and call tools
Chase Bank Teller Controlling Elderly Mother
My mother, without my knowledge, gave POA, HIPAA, and transmitted a holographic will to her bank teller! This Chase bank teller has known my mother and done my mother's banking for years. She is in some trouble with the bank for her involvement in my mother's affairs.
I only became aware of the nature of her involvement at the point that my Mother was about to be appointed a guardian and the teller notified me. The bank employee claimed that she knew my mom wouldn't want a guardian.
I am not sure that I want to be guardian over my mother but I don't want this bank teller to get guardianship either. I feel she has been dishonest by taking a holographic will from my mom since she was her banker at Chase and she only decided to get in contact with me or my brother when she was being investigated.
Thank u for your help.
Jordan R.'s Expert Answer:
I would add to Angela's sensitive answer, that you can search for elderlaw attorneys, here at MyAgingFolks.com on
our Search Professionals page.
Can an Elderly Person Fast One Day a Week
I am 86 years old and very healthy. I don't take any medicine. Can I fast one day a week?
Jordan R.'s Expert Answer:
This is not a scientific answer, and I would recommend consulting with your physician, but I do know that my grandfather who is 98, does fast 1 day a year on Yom Kippur. Surely, a day a week, is different, but still, thought I would put that out there.

Flu Season 2012: What You Should Know This Year
Rob Stein, science correspondent and senior editor, NPR
Dr. Thomas Frieden, director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
The 2012 flu season started strong and eight states have already reported widespread flu activity. This is the earliest regular flu season since 2003-2004. With only about 37% of the population vaccinated so far, the influenza virus still has the potential to have a severe impact.

Belarus - Exercise a high degree of caution
There is no nationwide advisory in effect for Belarus. However, you should exercise a high degree of caution due to political tension and civil unrest, and the prevalence of petty crimes.
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
Petty crimes such as pickpocketing, purse snatching and mugging occur, particularly in the cities of Minsk, Grodno, Brest, Gomel, Mogilev, and Vitebsk. Such crimes are especially common after dark in and around hotels and hostels frequented by foreigners.
Theft is common on trains, particularly on sleeper trains. Be vigilant when crossing the border with Poland at Brest due to the risk of mugging.
Theft of luxury cars is common. Park your vehicle in a secure location or guarded lot and always keep valuables out of sight.
Demonstrations periodically occur in the capital, Minsk, and other major cities in Belarus, following the presidential elections held in December 2010. Clashes with police occur and hundreds of people, including passers-by, have been detained, fined or sentenced to jail terms. Avoid all demonstrations and large gatherings as they have the potential to suddenly turn violent. Follow the advice of local authorities and monitor local media.
On April 11, 2011, an explosion took place in a Minsk subway station, killing 14 and injuring more than 200 people. You are advised to use extreme caution when using the public transportation system.
Automated banking machine (ABM) card and credit-card fraud is common. Use these cards only at ABMs located inside major banks. If you use a credit card for payment, pay careful attention when it is being handled by others during payment processing and check your statement frequently for fraudulent use.
See our Overseas Fraud page for more information on scams abroad.
Spiked food and drinks
Never leave food or drinks unattended or in the care of strangers. Be wary of accepting snacks, beverages, gum, or cigarettes from new acquaintances, as they may contain drugs that could put you at risk of sexual assault and robbery. Many adult clubs are managed by organized crime.
Road travel
Roads are generally in good condition; however, many may be impassable in winter. Drivers generally have little regard for traffic regulations and do not follow safe-driving practices. Horse-drawn carts are a common road hazard in rural areas. Radar traps are widespread.
The Belarusian government may enforce a requirement for special permits to travel in "protected border zones." Information defining the parameters of those zones has not been provided. Be alert for warning signs, road barriers or border-guard posts. Do not cross into such areas without permission.
Public transportation
Use only officially marked taxis and do not share them with strangers. Fares vary greatly and vehicles are often poorly maintained.
Buses and trolleys are poorly maintained and are usually crowded and unheated.
Exercise caution when travelling by train, especially on sleeper trains to Warsaw and Moscow. Store valuables in a safe place and do not leave your compartment unattended. Ensure that the door is secured from the inside.
See Transportation Safety in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
General safety information
Ensure that your personal belongings, passports and other travel documents are secure at all times.
Avoid showing signs of affluence and carrying large sums of cash. Always be aware of your surroundings.
Tourist facilities are limited and only available in the larger cities.
Security authorities may place foreigners under surveillance. Hotel rooms, telephones, fax machines and e-mail messages may be monitored. Personal possessions in hotel rooms may be searched. Foreigners have been expelled from the country for working with Belarusian civil-society groups.
Emergency services
Dial 101 to reach fire fighters, 102 for the police and 103 for an ambulance.
Entry/exit requirements
Entry/exit requirements
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Belarusian authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Republic of Belarus for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a passport to visit Belarus, which must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the date of expected departure from that country. Prior to travelling, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
You must also present proof of valid medical insurance. In addition, to be eligible for emergency medical care in Belarus, foreign citizens are required to have a medical insurance agreement with a Belarusian insurance company or an authorized foreign insurance company. You may purchase such medical insurance at the port of entry.
If you go to Belarus on a private visit, you must register with the local Office of Visa and Registration (OVIR) within three business days of arrival. There are fines for late registrations. If you are staying at a hotel, the hotel staff will register you. If you are staying in private accommodations, your registration must be organized by your host.
Tourist visa: Required (no extension permitted)
Visitor visa (private visit): Required
Business visa: Required
Student visa: Required
Transit visa: Required
You are advised to obtain a visa from the Embassy of the Republic of Belarus prior to departure. Visas may be issued upon arrival, but only at the consular office of the Minsk-2 International Airport, provided that an original letter of invitation is presented.
Travellers without a transit visa have been denied entry and forcibly removed from trains. Border or train officials do not have the authority to issue transit visas.
It is strongly recommended that you confirm entry and exit requirements with the Embassy of the Republic of Belarus in Ottawa before travelling to Belarus. Information is also available at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus website.
Dual citizenship
Dual citizenship may limit the ability of Canadian officials to provide consular services. You should travel using your Canadian passport and present yourself as Canadian to foreign authorities at all times.
Canadians with dual citizenship should always confirm entry and exit requirements before travelling to Belarus with the Embassy of the Republic of Belarus in Ottawa.
See Travelling as a dual citizen for more information.
Children and travel
Children born to a Belarusian parent may be considered Belarusian citizens even if they were born in Canada and have a Canadian passport. To enter Belarus, the child may be issued a certificate of return rather than a visa. The child may also need to present a Belarusian passport in order to leave the country. Contact the Embassy of the Republic of Belarus in Canada for further details.
See Children for more information.
Yellow fever
See Health to obtain information on this country's vaccination requirements.
- Measles: Global Update - March 13, 2015 13:54 EDT
Routine Vaccines
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Vaccines to Consider
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a disease of the liver spread through contaminated food and water or contact with an infected person. All those travelling to regions with a risk of hepatitis A infection should get vaccinated.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Get the flu shot.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and is common in most parts of the world. Be sure your measles vaccination is up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Rabies is a deadly illness spread to humans through a bite, scratch or lick from an infected animal. Vaccination should be considered for travellers going to areas where rabies exists and who have a high risk of exposure (i.e., close contact with animals, occupational risk, and children).
Tick-borne encephalitis
Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral disease that affects the central nervous system. It is spread to humans by the bite of an infected tick. Vaccination should be considered for those who may be exposed to ticks (e.g., those participating in outdoor activities in wooded areas) while travelling in regions with risk of tick-borne encephalitis.
Yellow Fever Vaccination
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
|* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements.
|Country Entry Requirement*
Food and Water-borne Diseases
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
In some areas in Eastern Europe, food and water can also carry diseases like hepatitis A. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in Eastern Europe. When in doubt, remember…boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
Travellers' diarrhea
- Travellers' diarrhea is the most common illness affecting travellers. It is spread from eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
- Risk of developing travellers' diarrhea increases when travelling in regions with poor standards of hygiene and sanitation. Practise safe food and water precautions.
- The most important treatment for travellers' diarrhea is rehydration (drinking lots of fluids). Carry oral rehydration salts when travelling.
Insects and Illness
In some areas in Eastern Europe, certain insects carry and spread diseases like Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis, and West Nile virus.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
There is no risk of malaria in this country.
Animals and Illness
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, snakes, rodents, and bats. Certain infections found in Eastern Europe, like rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
Person-to-Person Infections
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
Tuberculosis is an infection caused by bacteria and usually affects the lungs.
For most travellers the risk of tuberculosis is low.
Travellers who may be at high risk while travelling in regions with risk of tuberculosis should discuss pre- and post-travel options with a health care provider.
High-risk travellers include those visiting or working in prisons, refugee camps, homeless shelters, or hospitals, or travellers visiting friends and relatives.
Medical services and facilities
Medical care is limited and not up to Western standards. Private medical and dental offices can be found in the larger cities. In the event of a serious accident or illness, medical evacuation will be necessary.
Health tips
Many parts of Belarus were contaminated by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident, particularly the south valley of the Prypeć River and the vicinity of Gomel and Mogilev in the east. Avoid dairy products and locally grown fruit and vegetables as they may carry high levels of radiation.
Keep in Mind...
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
Laws & culture
Laws & culture
You are subject to local laws. See Arrest and detention for more information.
A serious violation may lead to a jail or death sentence. The sentence will be served in local prisons.
Dual citizenship
Naturalized Canadians do not automatically lose their Belarusian citizenship and are subject to Belarusian laws regarding citizenship and military service.
Always carry your passport, visa and migration card as you may be asked to prove your identity and date of entry into the country. Failure to provide internationally recognized identification could result in detention.
Illegal drugs
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict. Convicted offenders can expect lengthy jail sentences.
Illegal activities
Photography of military installations, public buildings and monuments may result in a penalty. Seek permission from local authorities before taking photographs.
Homosexual activity is legal but is not widely accepted in Belarusian society.
Driving laws
An International Driving Permit is required.
When travelling by private vehicle, you are required to show ownership documents or a "power of attorney" letter at border crossings. These documents must be translated into Belarusian and certified at a Belarusian embassy. Third-party car insurance is mandatory and can only be purchased upon entry into Belarus.
Drivers of foreign vehicles must pay a fee to use Belarusian highways. Payments are collected at border checkpoints and vary according to the length of stay. Tolls are collected on major highways and payment is required in a foreign currency (euro, U.S. dollar, or Russian ruble).
Vehicles must have their lights on at all times from November 1 to March 31.
There is zero tolerance for driving under the influence of alcohol.
The currency is the Belarusian ruble (BYB/BYR).
Credit cards are accepted by many hotels and stores, especially in Minsk. However, beware of credit-card fraud. Automated banking machines (ABMs) are available in major cities to withdraw rubles. Traveller's cheques are not accepted for payment but can be exchanged at a bank for rubles.
You must pay for goods and services in Belarusian rubles. The use of foreign currency in cash transactions is prohibited; you can face arrest if you attempt to buy an item with currency other than Belarusian rubles. Exchange foreign currency at government-licensed booths only. A valid passport must be presented to purchase foreign currency.
When crossing one of the external border control points of the European Union (EU), you must make a declaration to customs upon entry or exit if you have at least €10,000 or the equivalent in other currencies. The sum can be in cash, cheques, money orders, traveller's cheques or any other convertible assets. This does not apply if you are travelling within the EU or in transit to a non-EU country. For more information on the EU legislation and links to EU countries' sites, visit the web page of the European Commission on cash controls.
Natural disasters & climate
Natural disasters & climate
This destination is not prone to natural disasters.
There is no resident Canadian government office in Belarus. You can obtain consular assistance and further consular information from the Embassy of Canada in Warsaw, Poland.
Warsaw - Embassy of Canada
For emergency assistance after hours, call the Embassy of Canada in Warsaw and follow the instructions. You may also make a collect call to the Emergency Watch and Response Centre in Ottawa at 613-996-8885.

Morning all, had a lovely weekend with himself. He apologised on Friday and I suggested that we forget about it for a while. I know it's not the best idea but I just can't deal with fighting right now. We ended up having a lovely weekend, spent Saturday watching movies in the leaba and yest we went for a big walk around London – we saw Hugh Bonneville, Patrick Stewart and some others at the unveiling of a memorial to Agtha Christie! lol! Then we wandered through the German Christmas market before going for dinner & drinks.. and a game of chess in our local It was really lovely so I feel much better than last week anyway!!
Hope everyone else had a good weekend!
Aww Orla, that sounds really nice. Glad you had a good weekend. Sometimes you just have to let go of things.
Huge congratulations Scarie! That's such exciting news! Being an aunty is brilliant. Had lots of cuddles from my 3 nephews over the weekend as the middle dude turned 3.
Fantastic news Scarie!!!! when does the new little bundle arrive?
Morning all from my nice dry desk. That was yukky rain last niggh, wasn't it? I was driving home from the north last night in it and the windy and hilly roads weren't at all pleasant in the lashes. I was extra thankful for my nice big solid car when I saw lost of wee cars swaying in the gust
Scarie, that's brilliant news ;D
Orla, yay
God I didn't sleep last night. My eyes are so red and puffy today. Don't know what I look like.
O my God,I can only apologise to all the blatherinas who have ever posted about being unable to sleep,I hold my hands up,I only ever scanned the comments then moved onto the next poster.You see,I had never felt your pain,but now,having tossed and turned all night long and finally closing my eyes at….wait for it….6.30 this morning I feel that I have had a baptism of fire into the world of insomnia.At one stage I feared that I would have to get the children up for school having had absolutely no sleep at all so an hour of shuteye was better than that.I feel like a zombie,cement would not cover the black rings around my eyes.Couple that with an overwhelming desire to burst into tears I feel it could be a long day!
Happy monday everyone…..gggggggrrrrr
Yea, I think that we are all the same today, it took me a while to get to sleep last night too. Kept hearing noises. Have a headache from tiredness today. Onwards and upwards! I really did not want to be a moaner this week!
*hugs* mummypupper, 6.30? You poor thing! It's awful not being able to sleep.. I hope you get a chance to sit down for a bit today after a night of no sleep x
Morning ladies! Was in Harrods over the weekend, and was speaking to Michelle Heaton. She was so lovely and was saying that she is having a Mastectomy this week. Dunno if any of you saw her on the Late Late recently. It would seriously make you appreciate everything and puts it all in perspective!
I didn't see it Annmarie, does she have breast cancer?
Hello there.
Back from family weekend and straight into work. Hate coming back on Monday morning (as opposed to Sunday night, my usual 'back from home' time), because everything I dislike about the place where I work (and therefore live 70% of my life) seem more pronounced in the Monday morning like. Sigh.
Family weekend was good. I'm a bit baffled by my cousin. She's 18, pretty as an angel and she behaves and dresses like a tiny little mouse. She doesn't talk, hardly said a thank you for the gifts, and she looked at the Naked 2 box wondering why had I bought it. She seemed to like the gloss that goes with it. At least. Just shows how different the two of us are. The 10-year age difference probably does not help.
But it was nice to see everybody for a day.
And now getting ready for work!
Have a nice afternoon
@shygirl she has the BRCA2 gene. Apparently it means that she has up to 80% chance of developing breast ans ovarian cancer. (apologies if the figures are wrong, but i think thats what it is) Think various members of her family had cancer, and she got tested, and she too has the gene. She hopes to have another child and then have a hysterectomy too. Felt so sorry for her!

Look Before You Pump
Posted by RYOBI Outdoor on 01/16/2015 at 8:49 AM in Lawncare
Today, more than ever, it is important to pay attention to the type of gas you put in your small engine outdoor power equipment.
Ethanol is being added to fuel more frequently and in higher doses. Higher ethanol blends tend to be less expensive but they will really cause problems for your tools as time goes on. Would you rather save a little now and pay for it later, or pay a little more to have your tools running for much longer?
4 Facts About Ethanol:
1. Fuel with more than 10% ethanol can corrode metals and rubber that are found in your small engine. This causes the engine to break down quicker.
2. It is actually illegal to use gas with more than 10% ethanol in your small engines!
3. The more Read more
6 Ways To Recycle Your Real Christmas Tree After The Holidays
Posted by RYOBI Outdoor on 12/23/2014 at 11:51 AM in Lawncare
Don't just get rid of your real Christmas tree after the holidays - recycle it! Here are a few ideas of how you can use your tree after the presents are unwrapped and the new year has begun:
Pine needles are excellent mold free ground covering and work great for ground covering crops like strawberries.
Cut off the boughs from your tree and lay them over your perennial beds for extra cover/protection during the winter.
Cut your tree trunk into thin (about 1.5 inches) circles and then in half. Line your garden bed edge with the half circles for a decorative, natural touch.
Rent a mulcher and recycle your tree into Read more
Say Goodbye to Back-Breaking Raking
Posted by Dad Knows Best on 10/29/2014 at 10:35 AM in Lawncare
No back breaking raking this year!!! Every fall the leaves cover the yard and my porch. This year instead of using a rake and spending hours doing back breaking labor.
I used my RYOBI 40V blower and cleaned up the yard fast!
It took less than 20 minutes and I could see the lawn again.
The porch was cleared in seconds!
I love the RYOBI Blower's variable speed, the air could blow lightly when I needed it and vary up to a very strong air flow to move larger volumes of leaves.
The light weight and curved design of the handle makes it easy work at the touch of your fingers. With the RYOBI 40V I won't have to use a rake again. I love it!
RYOBI 40V Chainsaw
Posted by Dad Knows Best on 10/13/2014 at 11:27 AM in Lawncare
Amazing Saw!!! After trimming the trees in my yard, we had tree limbs that needed to be cut into fire wood.
This RYOBI 40V saw is light weight and has incredible power.
It cut through wood so fast we actually had to slow down just to get the picture to take. Otherwise by the time the picture clicked the saw was through the log.
It had a very long battery life, cutting the entire pile of wood in the picture in about 15 minutes with battery to spare.
The recharge time on it is also quick. My RYOBI 40V Chainsaw made cutting through this pile easy work!
The Great RYOBI Fall Fix Up
Posted by RYOBI Outdoor on 10/02/2014 at 9:28 AM in Lawncare
It's that time of year again. It's that Monday-night-football, pumpkin-spice-everything, flannels-and-bonfires-and-apple-picking season. It's also time to prepare your outside oasis for the colder months. Use some of our Fall Fix Up tips and tools to help get your yard sweater-weather-ready!
1. Lightly trim branches close to the house. Be careful not to over do it, but trim your trees enough that they will be out of reach this winter. Keep in mind that branches hang lower with snowfall, and whip around in heavy winds. You can use a number of tools to accomplish trimming. Select a RYOBI Chainsaw based on your preference for cordless, corded or gas; the diameter of the branches you're cutting; and the Read more
40V-X String Trimmer at Work
Posted by Dad Knows Best on 09/08/2014 at 9:45 AM in Lawncare
When it came time to take care of the lawn this week, the grass had grown really tall. To do the trim work, I pulled out the RYOBI 40V X Expand-it String Trimmer for the first time.
I have had surgery on my shoulder and was honestly worried about how the 40V would feel but was pleasantly surprised by how well it was balanced. It didn't seem heavy at all making the trimmer very easy for me to handle without hurting my shoulder.
The double line cuts through tall grass very quickly, as fast as a gas trimmer and with just as much power! I was amazed with how strong the 40V battery is.
I also took it to camp with me to clean up the grass under and around the camper. The straight shaft allowed me Read more
RYOBI 18V Pole Saw
Posted by Dad Knows Best on 08/21/2014 at 2:33 PM in Lawncare
As soon as I got my RYOBI 18V Pole Saw we had to take it out and try it.
The timing was perfect being mid summer the trees are very overgrown so we had plenty to cut. It came out of the box and was easy to assemble in 5 minutes. This pole saw was really slick.
I was very impressed with how quickly it cut through branches up to 5 inches. We used it on anything from 2 to 5 inches with no problem.
I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the long battery life. It came with a really good quality chain that did not stretch at all after we were done using it.
You don't realize how many branches you have to cut until you have to clean them all up! What took 45 minutes to cut then took 2 hours Read more
RYOBI 20" 40V brushless mower
Posted by Keeping Portland Green on 06/20/2014 at 1:06 PM in Lawncare
Now that we have nearly reached the beginning of summer, the days are much longer, the famous Pacific Northwest rains have nearly stopped for the summer, the days are warm and the evenings are cool. Perfect condition for growing and lush healthy lawn. Luckily my new RYOBI 20" 40V brushless mower arrived just in time to keep the lawn under control and looking its best.
Setup was a breeze, I was able to pull it out of the box and have it ready to roll in about 5 minutes. It required a few quick steps, of unfolding the push handle and latching it in place. I really liked the unique quick release design of the handle fasteners. Anyone that's a cyclist will recognize RYOBI borrowed the time tested quick Read more
Between The Shrubs
Posted by Keeping It In Perspective on 06/16/2014 at 12:44 PM in Lawncare
Before taking shears in hand, it's important to determine what type of plant you have as well as your reason for pruning.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Is the shrub leggy or sparsely leaved?
- Is it evergreen needles or leaves?
- Is it deciduous spring or fall blooming?
All answers serve to guide what to do when.
Between Two Shrubs
Use nature's cues—one being the appearance of daffodil foliage—as my signal that it is the perfect time to prune and shape evergreens.
Pruning early, before bud break, is especially important for broadleaf evergreens. Early pruning redirects the shrub's energy to produce fresh foliage, which will rapidly cloak newly denuded areas. Late summer and early fall Read more
Living Within The Lines
Posted by Keeping It In Perspective on 06/16/2014 at 12:41 PM in Lawncare
What qualities separate a memorable landscape from a blah blob? Often, it is how edges (real and implied lines) are defined—whether by a crisply edged lawn, hedge (or other plant mass) or a construct, like a path or wall. Take away its dramatic edges, and the Grand Canyon would be just a pleasant valley. Edges are lines that lead your eye through the landscape, giving importance to whatever lies on either side, as well as suggesting what one should do or see next.
Do you remember, as a young child, playing with an educational toy that helped you learn shapes? Square in the square hole, triangle in the triangle hole? The edges of the voids provided clues as to which shape belonged where. The same Read more
RYOBI 40V-X Expand-It String Trimmer with Expand-It edger
Posted by Keeping Portland Green on 06/04/2014 at 1:48 PM in Lawncare
One thing the Pacific Northwest is known for is rain. Many people believe it rains all the time here. Although it does rain a lot, it definitely does rain all the time. Generally from late October though April we have pretty steady rainfall, rarely a downpour, but more of a drizzle, but it is not everyday as many believe. This however does lead to a lot of plant growth, weeds, and grass getting very green in early spring. This requires a lot of spring cleaning of the yard. Having just acquired my new RYOBI 40V-X Expand-It String Trimmer with Expand-It edger attachment I was ready to give it a try, and get the yard looking great for spring.
Photo 1 - Trimmer and edger attachment, 40V Blower was used Read more
New Home! New Tool!
Posted by First Yard Bob on 06/03/2014 at 2:31 PM in Lawncare
As a long time fan of RYOBI's power tools, and now as a new home homeowner with no HOA to take care of the yard, I decided to put their lawn tools to the test.
Now I'm not foreign to lawn work, as a kid my father had me mowing half an acre with a push mower, trimming around the house and sidewalks, and cutting down plenty of dead branches among other chores. So after years of getting "exercise" around the house I determined that I liked riding my bike as exercise a lot more. Hence, apartment living and town homes it was. That is until now with 1.3 acres of lawn maintenance.
Having had a few shoulder issues the concept of yanking a cord to get a little noisy gas engine to turn over after 5 minutes was not Read more

"To paraphrase Oedipus, Hamlet, Lear, and all those guys, "I wish I had known this some time ago."― Roger Zelazny, Sign of the Unicorn
I recently watched a mildly amusing movie about a young man who had the gift of time travel. Many times during the roughly 90-minute movie, the main character repeatedly revisited episodes in his past to alter a seemingly insignificant past choice, resulting in a dramatically different future life outcome.
As a designer, I'm often called to a client's home to help rectify 20 year-old mistakes--trees growing into foundations, ungainly shrubs, poor drainage and/or nightmarishly difficult maintenance scenarios. Hindsight is wonderful.

Re: WEDNESDAY SERVICE PLAYS
BIG AL's MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL UNDERDOG WINNER!
At 7:10pm our selection is on the New York Mets over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Arizona ace Brandon Webb is on pace to have close to 30 wins this season. If he's in the mid 20s by the middle of September, things will get very interesting. He probably won't reach 30, but he could definitely reach 25 at the rate he's going. Unfortunately for Webb, tonight is going to be tough for him. The problem is that Webb generally does not do well against the Mets. Arizona is 2-7 in Webb's last nine starts against the Mets, and although the D-Backs got a victory in Webb's lone start against New York this season (on May 3), Webb did not pitch well in that game (which was at home and not in the hostile environment of Shea Stadium). The D-Backs have lost two of Webb's last three road starts and although he has performed well in his last two overall, those games were against the Pirates and Nationals, both light-hitting ballclubs and nothing like this talented Mets team. Also, Webb's mound opponent is big righthander Mike Pelfrey. Pelfrey has had back-to-back strong starts vs. the Dodgers (at home) and Padres (in San Diego), but has been a victim of poor run production in many of his better performances this season. But look for Pelfrey to win tonight, as New York has dominated this series in the past several years, taking fifteen of the last 21 games between these two. Take the Mets.
Re: WEDNESDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Chicago White Sox vs. Detroit Tigers
Prediction: Detroit Tigers
Divisional bragging rights will be on the line on Wednesday when the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers meet at Comerica Park. Javier Vazquez will be the starting pitcher for the White Sox on this day. Righthander Vazquez is 6-4 this season with a 3.91 ERA. The Tigers will counter Vazquez with ace Justin Verlander. Righthander Verlander has a 5.05 ERA to go along with a 2-9 record this season. Oddsmakers currently have the Tigers listed as 118-moneyline favorites versus the White Sox, while the game's total is sitting at 9. Miguel Cabrera went 3-for-4 with two runs batted in to lead the Tigers to a 6-4 victory over the White Sox on Tuesday night. Detroit won as -105 home underdogs as the game played over the 9.5-run total posted by sportsbooks. Nate Robertson gave up three runs over 6 1-3 innings to earn the win for the Tigers, while Brent Clevlen was 2-for-4 with a RBI for Detroit. Jim Thome went 3-for-4 with a big fly for Chicago, as losing pitcher Jose Contreras was rocked for six runs over six innings for the White Sox. Team records: Chicago: 37-27 SU Detroit: 27-37 SU Chicago most recently: When playing on Wednesday are 4-6 Before playing Detroit are 8-2 After playing Detroit are 7-3 After a loss are 5-5 Detroit most recently: When playing on Wednesday are 8-2 Before playing Chi White Sox are 2-8 After playing Chi White Sox are 4-6 After a win are 4-6 A few trends to consider: Chi White Sox are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games Chi White Sox are 11-4 SU in their last 15 games when playing on the road against Detroit Chi White Sox are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games when playing Detroit Chi White Sox are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games on the road Detroit is 2-5 SU in their last 7 games when playing Chi White Sox Detroit is 4-11 SU in their last 15 games when playing at home against Chi White Sox

Take LA Dodgers -101 over San Diego Padres
The Padres are 5-3 during a 10-game homestand, but have hit just .195 with runners in scoring position. They have stranded at least eight runners in six of their last eight games and 75 total in that span?20 more than their opponents. San Diego is also hitting an NL-low .235 with runners on second and third. Randy Wolf, the former Dodger has been tough over his last five starts. The left-hander is 1-0 in his last two starts, including a victory over Johan Santana and the Mets. He's allowed two runs and 11 hits in 13 innings. Those performances are part of a five-start stretch, during which he?s 2-1 with a 2.51 ERA. The Dodgers will go with Chad Billingsley who is 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA in his last three starts, but he?s only received five total runs of support. That stretch has come after Billingsley went 4-1 with a 1.97 ERA in five starts, as the Dodgers? bats provided 28 runs. Neither team hits much right now and with Petco Park a notorious pitchers park, look for runs to be at a premium tonight. I'm going with the Dodgers based on Billingsley as the superior starting pitcher in tonights game.

Stu Feiner's Picks of the Day
10,000 Dime MLB Winner: HOUSTON ASTROS
I won with the Astros last night and I'm back on them again this evening with Brandon Backe on the bump. It's clear he pitches much better at Minute Maid and he'll handcuff this Brewers' club that struggles on the road both hitting (.243 team batting average) and more importantly, winning (14-21 away from Miller Park).
Backe sports a 2.90 ERA in five home starts and the Astros are on home runs when Backe starts of 25-6 overall and 5-0 versus teams with winning records. The Astros are now 13-6 in the their last 19 at home following last night's 6-1 win over the Brewers.
Milwaukee starter Manny Parra has a 6.95 road ERA, and that includes giving up five earned on nine hits and four walks in just five innings at Houston on May 3. He'll be facing a Houston team that led by slugging Lance Berkman hits a robust .287 at home. With last night's win, the Astros are 4-0 at home versus the Brewers this year and 43-19 in their last 62 at home versus Milwaukee. Those winning trends continue tonight as the Astros take Game 2 of this series
