Greek wait for cash goes on despite austerity vote
ATHENS, Greece Greece's euro partners won't be able to release the country's next batch of bailout cash at a meeting next week, even though the Greek Parliament narrowly backed more unpopular austerity measures Thursday.
Germany's Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said the 17-country eurozone is not yet in a position to make a decision on releasing the funds, as many in Athens may have hoped. As anticipated, the cash-strapped country still has to pass its budget for 2013 while lawmakers in some countries, including Germany, have to authorize the release of funds.
"We're not there yet," Schaeuble said in Hamburg.
"I don't see how we would get to a decision next week," he said, referring to the meeting of the eurozone finance ministers on Monday. "Not all is lost, but not all is won."
The approval of the austerity bill, which will further cut salaries and pensions and increase taxes, was the key step towards persuading Greece's international creditors to release the next (EURO)31.5 billion ($40.2 billion) installment of the country's vital bailout loans.
Without it, the government has said the country will start running out of cash Nov. 16, paving the way to Greece's potential bankruptcy and exit from the euro. That scenario has kept financial markets on edge for the past three years.
However, Germany, the biggest single contributor to Europe's bailouts, has insisted Greece must first pass its 2013 budget to create the basis on which the country's creditors can make a decision to release the new funds.
After the budget vote, which is scheduled for Sunday, the release of the funds still hinges on a report by the so-called troika of debt inspectors from the European Union, IMF and European Central bank. Though favorable to Greece, it is not expected to be ready in time for the Monday meeting.
In addition, some euro countries such as Germany can only give the go-ahead after their own Parliaments have voted on it. Though those votes are not expected to take much time, they add the prospect of further delay.
Schaeuble's comments strongly suggest an interim financial arrangement for Greece may have to be agreed.
Sunday's budget vote in Athens represents another test to the coalition government of Antonis Samaras. Thursday's vote in favor of the (EURO)13.5 billion austerity package came at a cost for the fragile three-party coalition government.
Lawmakers voted 153-128 for the package, hours after more than 80,000 protesters demonstrated outside in Athens - some fighting running battles with riot police.
Only two - the majority conservatives and the Socialists - of the three parties in the coalition backed the package. But there was also dissent in those ranks, with seven lawmakers expelled for failing to back the measures, and an eighth saying he was leaving the Socialists to continue as an independent member of parliament.
Nevertheless, the government is not in imminent threat as the third party, the Democratic Left, which abstained from the austerity vote, insists it will continue as a coalition member. The three parties are expected to present a united front in the budget vote.

Railways will provide maximum possible facilities for Sabarimala pilgrims at Chengannur Railway Station during the Mandalam-Makaravilakku festival that begins on November 16, according to Mr. Rajiv Dutt Sarma, Railway Divisional Manager.
Mr. Sarma was talking to reporters during his visit to the railway station at Chengannur to take stock of the situation and explore the possibility of extending better pilgrim amenities there during the forthcoming Sabarimala festival season.
It is noteworthy that Union Minister of State for Railways, E. Ahammed, has declared Chengannur railway station the 'Gateway of Sabarimala during his recent visit to the place.
Mr. Sarma said a special task force would be posted to co-ordinate the functioning of the Railways at Chengannur during the annual pilgrim season.
He said a new pilgrim amenity centre estimated at Rs. 1 crore would be constructed at the railway station premises, besides constructing an ornamental gate at the entrance of the railway station complex in the backdrop of its new status as 'Gateway to Sabarimala'.
He said a 'Janata' refreshment stall would be opened at the railway station to provide meals to Ayyappa devotees at a subsidised rate of Rs. 10.
Stop for all trains
Mr. Sarma said all trains including special trains would be permitted to have a five-minute halt at Chengannur during the annual Sabarimala festival.
Special trains coming from Rajahmundry, Secunderabad and Vishakhapattanam in Andhra Pradesh during the Mandalam-Makaravilakku festival will be extended upto Kollam from their earlier termination point at Kottayam following a request in this regard by the Akhila Bharatha Ayyappa Seva Sanghom so that the devotees could visit Pandalam Palace and the adjoining Sastha temple as part of their annual Sabarimala pilgrimage, he said.
Mr. Sarma said additional the Railway Police Force personnel would be deployed at Chengannur, besides providing more railway staff at the ticket counters, during the annual pilgrim season. Two more ticket counters would be opened at the railway station, he added.
ABASS plea
Meanwhile, in a statement issued here on Friday, ABASS vice-president, D. Vijayakumar, has called upon the Railway authorities to include Chengannur in the Railway Map.
He said the decision to provide better pilgrim facilities at Chengannur railway station during the annual Sabarimala festival was a welcome move and the authorities should ensure implementation of their promises in a time-bound manner.

No, I am not a troll. I was just pointing out that calling statistics useless lies, pretending they don't exist or rationalizing that they don't apply to oneself is rather callow.
I never stated that riders cannot manage (I don't think control is a good word here) the risks associated with motorcycling and behave in ways that lessen them. In fact, I state quite the opposite. "I am happy to have [statistical information], because it allows me to assess the risks
and act in ways to eliminate or minimize them.
" Also, in my first post I actually enumerate several risk reduction strategies.
It seems as if you did not even read my post completely before replying to it.

Again, I never indicated that it was mere superstition that motos attract thrill seekers. OTH, to imply that only the foolish end up in serious accidents and thus become part of accident statistics is simply naive. Any review of face plant, motorcycle accident reporting or making a serious investigation into the stats will reveal that it is quite common for experienced, well trained motorcyclists to be seriously injured of killed in accidents that involve no fault of their own.

While it's good to hear that you ride carefully, your anecdotal story has nothing to do with what is plainly evident in the statistics and your insinuation that because you ride carefully, only others risk serious accident is pretending to be oblivious of the facts.

This is very true, although I hope you are not implying that I am not the one who stated that I bought a convertible to reduce my exposure to the risks of motorcycling, I am not. That said, any review of accident injury stats will reveal that the likelihood of serious injury or death in and accident is much lower for seat belted drivers in modern cars than it is for motorbikers.

I engage in many "risky" activities (whitewater kayaking, backcountry skiing, mountaineering, motorbiking in developing countries...etc.), but I certainly don't ignore the risks of such activities or pretend that the risks/statistics don't apply to me. To do so would be simply ignorant.
To be purposely nescient does nothing to improve the quality of one's life.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
The Midnight Evil's self-titled 2001 debut was a concept album if by "concept" you meant "party" and by "album" you meant "collection of songs" like a fight is a collection of punches. Recorded in Fargo and mastered in Detroit by White Stripes engineer Jim Diamond, The Midnight Evils (Dart Records) was the so-called rock revival epitomized, distorted, and simplified--a gleaming knife through your woofer to cut out any art, doubt, or stray milliseconds of loneliness before the liquor kicked in. I still play this music before Halo of Flies, Kentucky Gag Order, or the Hold Steady whenever some AC/DC fan claims Minnesota can't rock without angst.
Well, I've got some news for you, Evils (it's okay if I call you Evils, I hope). I've been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where I've seen parents make their kids do air guitar to "Dirty Deeds," and rock and roll ain't noise pollution--it's air freshener. Anyone who thinks "Party, Party, Party" is a good idea for a rebel anthem has their first beer confused with their first AA meeting, and eternal youth confused with a lifelong hangover.
That's how I felt about the last album, anyway--the second one, before singer Jonny Evans took off to leave the other guys trading vocals. When album three came in the mail this week, with the aforementioned "Party, Party, Party" track, I have to admit, I heard more "retread," at first. Then I listened to that song again, and--damn, those '50s changes do feel good the third and fourth time. In under two minutes, our egalitarian Evils trade vocals twice, toss in some "Six Pack"-era Black Flag group shouts, then roar into oblivion on the pop-a-wheelie splendiferousness of lead guitarist Stevie Cooper. In one full swoop--captured in Austin, Texas, this time--they equal the debut in spirit if not sound. For the sound, see the live show.

Singapore film yanked from release
Singapore comedy Sex.Violence.FamilyValues has been pulled from release by the authorities for "racial references which are demeaning and offensive to Indians".
The decision regarding writer-director Ken Kwek's compendium of three short films was announced in a statement by the Media Development Authority this evening (Oct 8).
The title at the heart of the controversy, Porn Masala, has received a Not Allowed For All Rating (NAR), a category used only in exceptional cases.
This ruling, in practical terms, amounts to a ban, as a film that has no classification is not allowed to be screened.

New Nike Stuff+
Incase anyone missed it, the new Nike stuff is in. Barely seems to be anything new. Only new stuff is the Global Subliminated Top, Global Sphere Polo, Global Tie-Break shorts, and Global Advantage Polo. Not much added. I wanted to get a yellow top for the heck of it, but none of these are really cutting it for me. The Global advantage polo is funky too, not a real polo really, looks more like a biker top or something. The new shorts are extra long though, 8 inch inseem. The sphere polo looks pretty good though, gotta admit, but I already like have all those colors, so no real point. When is the green gonna come back.....
It's not the whole thing I'm afraid. The stuff you will see on the tour is not in yet. The T-Shirts are missing as well
I have been really disappointed with Nike clothing line over past 2 ~3 years or so. I only like few of their products now.
I used to love Nike line from 1998~2000....I should have never sold mine...
blah.....wheres the poly polos??!?! shirts suck, more polos goddamit. Dissapointing line. I like the vapors though.. :>

Yes, I love the Sphere Top as well, I have almost all the colors except for the Grey/Black one. Out of all the t-shirt style shirts that Nike has put out, those are definitely the best ones. They are definitely better than the ones that are out for the Summer. These new ones seem too boring.
I agree, the US Open stuff was some of the best I can remember. The only thing I wasn't crazy about were the tops that Andre, and Lleyton were wearing. The Zoned Engineered Tops that are in liquidation right now I wasn't that crazy about, even though I have them. They are good as practice shirts, but I don't think they look good for match play. Too plain. I thought the Zoned Engineered Polo that Andre wore at the year end Master Series event in Houston was much better and thought he should have worn that at the Open. Oh well. But all in all, the apparel and shoes (Breathe Frees) were the best tennis stuff that was out in a while. Although, I did like the apparel that was out at the previous 2002 Wimbledon/US Open. That stuff was good as well. Wait until July when the next stuff comes out. OMG! You'll blow your mind. I've seen the new stuff that comes out for the US Open and after. It looks amazing! The sleeveless are going to change, as well as the design to all the polos and tops. The Nike Swoosh is going to be up towards the right shoulder, instead of on the chest. It all looks awesome. Maybe the best out yet! Later
I know, I saw some of it on that www.nike.net stuff that we all got access too, and some of it does look good. But my all-time favorite is still that polo that a lot of dudes (Federer mainly) were wearing around the Open last year. The one with the single stripe on the front and back that kind of looped around. They had it in Sky blue, maroon, black, white, and white w/ orange. I have the blue and black, but I want the red bad.
PCMD, I think that Nike shirt with the curved stripe around the front and back also came in a grey with white stripe, like Federer wore exclusively at the Master's Cup in Houston at the end of last year. I really like that one but I think everyone is already sold out of it (haven't seen it on clearance anywhere). Mardy Fish also wore the sky blue and white ones a lot last year. I have the sky blue and maroon ones that are still unworn with the tags still on them, but I think I'll keep them for now (unless someone makes me an outrageous offer for them, of course). :D :shock:
Oh ya break, the grey was the one I like wanted the most too. I want a grey one so badly..... Do you know what the shirts name was?
From the catalog, the colors get a bit more interesting towards the end of the year, but the styles don't. More printed designs would do some good. Seems like Nike is a year and a half behind all other fashion. You know those t-shirts they had at the Gap and Old Navy and everywhere a year ago that look like Travel Destination sites: California, Maine, San Francisco... NIke is making their own Melbourne, Paris, London, & New york travel shirts. Too little, too late. Give us some PURPLE!
david, are you nuts? Its really comfortable! Nothing better than polos made of poly. Like the new ones that came out a bit ago (a bit too shiny for my taste :> but i like the red one that i got).
I only have the burgandy sphere top, like I said before, id kill for the sky blue. anyone know where I can snag one?
Are there going to be also some new warm-ups and jackets from NIKE for the Summer line?
sorry, but the best Nike polo was back in 2002, the barrier reef polo. That thing was awesome. :twisted:
Got any pictures matt?
it was available in red, white, and black.
That looks nice. That one I mentioned though I still think is better.

14 October 2009 13:13 [Source: ICIS news]
DUBAI (ICIS news)--The closure of Group I base oil plants in Europe could lead to higher prices for the material in the Middle East and a potential shift towards increased use of Group II/III grades in the region, sources said on Wednesday.
If plant closures mooted in Europe were realised, prices for Group I base oils in the region would increase due to reduced supply, said Samir Nawar, CEO of Saudi Arabia's Petromin Group, during a panel discussion at the 6th ICIS Middle East base oils and lubricants conference.
Several European refineries with associated base oil plants have been put up for sale in recent months, leading to speculation in the market that potential buyers may not be interested in operating the base oils units.
These included Eni's facility at Livorno, I?xml:namespace>
Other panel members, however, were keen to point out that a refinery changing hands did not necessarily signify that base oils production would be halted.
Daniel Ianuzzi of trading company Feedco SA, cited the example of the Petit Couronne refinery in
Nawar added that reduced supply could lead to a shift towards the use of higher quality Group II and III base oils despite a lack of technical demand for large volumes of higher specification base oils in the region.

More recently, however, stories about Mexico's rapidly growing manufacturing industry have made front pages of major newspapers and blogs, slowly changing the perception of this developing country. While the majority of these articles tend to be industry-focused, the real story is the Mexican workforce and how it is transforming a nation. Not dissimilar to many developing countries, the Mexican workforce is comprised of both men and woman; however, the female workforce in Mexico has quietly grown in numbers and strength throughout factory floors and at all professional levels. In a country run mostly by men, women have begun to demonstrate their strength and importance, helping transform stereotypes and perceptions about Mexico and its place as a global business powerhouse.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Harry Smith, Harry Smith, Harry Smith. There, did I get him out of the way yet? Aw hell, I didn't--too bad. Because in its scope, its configuration (six discs, bountiful notes, deliberately archaic packaging), and its sheer nerve, the project that the gospel box set Goodbye, Babylon most clearly resembles is Smith's 1952 Anthology of American Folk Music. Smith's set filled six vinyl albums with songs from the 1920s and '30s, most of which had nothing to do with each other until he jammed them together, creating an epic narrative of an America that even then seemed irretrievably past--commonplace, yet haunted. Out of 84 discrete molehills, Smith made a mountain. He even included songs about a guy who wanted to be a mole so he could level a mountain. None of the singers on Goodbye, Babylon (and if we're counting choir members, the total's probably something in the 80,000 range) have such delusions of grandeur. What they want more than anything is to occupy the mountain rather than topple it.
What's gripping about Babylon is how heroic they make the journey to that mountain sound. On the sixth disc, most of the sermons are so ardent and swaying (both in the rhythms of the words and the back-and-forth between preacher and congregation) that they're almost more musical than the actual tunes on the first five discs. "Gospel" may be codified in our mind's ear as organ-led, Pentecostal, melisma-driven, and predominately black, but on these 160 cuts (covering 1902-60, though most date from the '20s and '30s), the genre is as wide-open as the heavenly riches it describes--or, just as often, doesn't describe. There's a mess of blues here, and I'm not just talking about the Blind Willie McTell and Skip James numbers. Alfred G. Karnes's "Called to the Foreign Field" spells out a harrowing death wish, while King's Sacred Quartette's "The World Can't Stand Long" extends a similar sentiment to the rest of humanity through a melancholy bluegrass arrangement. At least two dozen of the box's songs--Karnes's "Foreign Field," Blind Willie Johnson's "Lord I Just Can't Keep From Crying," Jimpson's field-recorded prison chant "No More, My Lord" (accompanied by the percussive noise of chopping wood), and several sermons among them--rank among the most frighteningly vivid music ever made.
Several of the more ethereal tracks are just as profound. James and Martha Carson's startlingly inventive vocal arrangement makes "I'll Fly Away" seem to light up from within. Blind Roosevelt Graves and Brother's jaunty "Woke Up This Morning (With My Mind on Jesus)" contains one of the most perfect guitar riffs ever devised: It seems to skip rope, play jacks, and cross itself all at once. Blind Mamie Forehand's devastating "Honey in the Rock" is mournful, barely decipherable, and as personal as marriage.
The major difference between Dust-to-Digital head Steven Lance Ledbetter, who compiled Goodbye, Babylon, and Harry Smith is that the latter played alchemist with his box set, shuffling several strands together to create a complete, if open-ended, story. Ledbetter, by contrast, is more like a first-rate model-train builder: His programming has the set moving in a series of parallel lines rather than an endless circle. But wow, does it move.

The New Year began on a happy note for members of the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike Council with the State Government, in its Wednesday order, granting a hefty increase in their honorarium.
The Mayor's honorarium has been increased to Rs. 20,000 from Rs. 5,000, Deputy Mayor's Rs. 15,000 from Rs. 3,500 and councillors Rs. 7,500 from Rs. 1,500. The revision comes after a 14-year hiatus. BBMP sources said that the last revision was in 1997.
After the new BBMP Council was formed, a proposal for the honorarium increase had been sent forwarded to the Government, but was rejected. A delegation, led by Mayor S.K. Nataraj and Ruling Party Leader B.S. Sathyanarayana, met Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa and submitted another memorandum, which the Chief Minister approved.
Panel meetings
Mr. Nataraj said that as per the Act, Standing Committees must meet once a week. "They cannot function properly if they meet twice a month. We will urge the Government to change this," he said.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- Police in Coeur d'Alene are investigating a burglary who stole an unusual set of items from a home near 7th Street and E. Locust Ave.
The suspect took a loaded nine millimeter semi-automatic gun, two $500 watches and three boxes of breakfast cereal from a house last Friday night.
Officers believe the suspect reached through a doggie door to unlock the back door. The homeowner said he returned home to find the flap from the dog door lying inside the house.
My gate is open, usually it's shut, said Bob Carchia. All of a sudden I'm thinking something is wrong.
He noticed a filing cabinet drawer was open in the kitchen according to police. Carchia said he feels violated.
I was actually shaking, I was just shaking, nervous that somene was in my house, said Carchia.
The homeowner and police searched the home and found a pistol, two watched, and three boxes of cereal were missing. The missing cereal included boxes of Cheerios, Raisin Bran and frosted squares.
I didn't even notice til later that day and on top of this box was another box of Toasted Squares and next to here was empty, said Carchia. That's where the other two boxes of cereal were stolen.
Witnesses reported seeing a man emerge from the backyard of the house drinking what appeared to be a bottle of orange juice.
The suspect is described as a white male, 40-45 years old, between 5 feet, 10 inches and 6 feet tall and weighing between 150 to 170 pounds. He was unshaven with gray or blond hair.

"Pompeii" is a song by British band Bastille, from their debut studio album Bad Blood (2013). The song was released as a digital download on 24 February 2013. It has peaked at number one on the singles charts of Ireland for two consecutive weeks, number two in the UK, and number two in Italy, where it was certified platinum by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry. It also currently holds the record for the longest time at number one on the United Kingdom's Official Streaming Chart, remaining at the peak for seven weeks to date.
A music video to accompany the release of "Pompeii" was first released onto YouTube on 20 January 2013 at a total length of three minutes and fifty-three seconds. The music video focuses on a man (played by lead singer Daniel Smith) who is running away from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii ("Great clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above"). Once he sees people with black eyes he realizes the ash from the volcano has caught up with him. Directed by Jesse John Jenkins and produced by Tova Dann, the video was filmed in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, California.

Is Lecrae and T.I. similar to Kanye vs 50 Cent?
Every once and while there are some watershed moments that show us a picture of what's going on in our culture. The last one we had was when 50 Cent & Kanye West clashed. It wasn't a clash on a song or at the club, but this battle happened at the retailer spots where their music was available. That sales battle was a battle not necessarily of skill, talent or even marketing as much as it was a battle over the prevailing ideas of American culture. Add a comment

GutBuddies Forte Broad Spectrum Probiotic Added to Ethical Alternative Products Online Store
Interest in probiotic supplements is on the rise in the U.S. and Ethical Alternative Products is adding the GutBuddies probiotic product to their line of premium quality supplements that are available online.
Wyckoff, NJ (PRWEB) January 31, 2014
Many digestive disease specialists are recommending probiotics* for disorders that frustrate conventional medicine, such as irritable bowel syndrome. Self-dosing with bacteria isn't as outlandish as it might seem. An estimated 100 trillion microorganisms representing more than 500 different species inhabit every normal, healthy bowel. These microorganisms (or microflora) generally don't make us sick; most are helpful. Gut-dwelling bacteria keep pathogens (harmful microorganisms) in check, aid digestion and nutrient absorption, and contribute to immune function. Since the mid-1990s, clinical studies have established that probiotic therapy can help treat several gastrointestinal ills, delay the development of allergies in children, and treat and prevent vaginal and urinary infections in women.
The GutBuddies Forte product is a broad spectrum probiotic that contains contains a guaranteed 10 billion viable cfu (colony forming unit) per capsule. The friendly organisms contained in GurBuddies include Bifobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus salivarius, and Lactobacillus casei. GutBuddies do not require refrigeration. Recommended dosing is one capsule per, taken with a meal.

FDA regulation of tobacco products is an essential step toward improving health and reducing health care costs in the United States. Tobacco use kills more than 400,000 Americans and costs the nation $96 billion in health care bills each year. Every day, more than 3,500 U.S. kids try their first cigarette. Yet tobacco products have been exempt from the FDA's common-sense regulations that apply to virtually every other product we consume, from food to drugs to cosmetics.
This legislation grants the FDA the authority and resources necessary to regulate the manufacturing, marketing and sale of tobacco products. Among other things, it will:

You may think that forecasting your business cash flow is a tedious and complicated task, requiring accountant skills and horrendous tables. The simple thought of it may even depress you so much that you may overlook the huge insight it brings to you, as a business owner.
Yet, if you had an easy-to-use, no-accountant-required tool allowing you to keep an easily updateable, day-accurate cash flow forecasting, you would be able to:
Such a lightweight cash flow forecast tool exists — it is WiseCash!
" Thanks to WiseCash, both my rates and my available cash increased considerably. And so did my peace of mind! "— Joël Rotelli, happy freelancer
WiseCash computes your "Time-Wealth" — how long your business can survive, based on your currently planned expenses and income:
No more guess work! Make data-backed decisions. Use the data you own to your advantage. Increase your rates at the right moment, with confidence. Work out issues beforehand, because time matters when it comes to money.
We get two awesome benefits from using WiseCash:
1) Forecasting - Being able to plug in our transactions and see roughly where we'll be at in the coming weeks or months. This is really valuable when negotiating new projects as we know what our "runway" looks like and we can act accordingly.
2) Hypotheticals - How will adding a new employee affect our cash flow? What about distributing bonuses? By creating hypothetical transactions, we can see how investment or purchasing decisions will affect cash flow, which provides better insight into making a good decision. "
Can you afford holidays already? Are you on track to reach your income goal? Do you have enough booked days in the pipeline to safely turn down a lead?
Figure out exactly if you are ahead of your goal or not — and act accordingly. Set your pace.
Not at all! The typical initial setup takes between 10 to 30 minutes (not a lot compared to the benefits!), and most users only spend a few minutes now and then afterwards.
WiseCash has a slick, lightweight user interface which let you define and update recurring transactions as needed.
" Seriously: I love the super simple to use interface. Very easy to get started! I got actionable results in very limited time. "— Jonathan Path, Freelance WebDesigner

In late 1919 and early 1920, news of a proposed city hall occupied the local press. While waiting in January 1920 for news of bids for demolition of the existing city hall so the new building could be constructed, the Sedalia Democrat printed stories about both negative and positive events in Sedalia. One positive report concerned the work of the Red Cross nurse hired to serve Pettis County.
The American Red Cross was founded in 1881 by Clara Barton, who had served as a nurse to Civil War soldiers. In the years after its founding, the organization provided disaster relief, battlefield nursing during the Spanish-American War, and classes in first aid, water safety, and public health.
During World War I, the Red Cross provided 20,000 registered nurses to serve with the military. They also provided nursing to victims of the Spanish influenza epidemic that ravaged Europe and the United States in 1918 and the following years.
Pettis Countians formed active chapters of the Red Cross during World War I, with branches in Sedalia and the smaller towns and junior chapters in the schools. Members met troop trains passing through Sedalia, serving coffee and providing toiletry packets for soldiers. They also raised money for civilian relief in war ravaged Europe.
After the war, the chapter continued its relief work in Europe but focused most of its efforts on enhancing health and hygiene here in Pettis County.
In November 1919, Eleanor Keely began working in Pettis County. She was very well qualified, having received training as a nurse at Trinity Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisc. During the war, she served as chief of nurses of the Kansas City unit's Base Hospital No. 28, one of the first Red Cross units to arrive in Europe.
Miss Keely's work was especially needed here. According to the Democrat, Pettis County experienced a shortage of trained nurses at a time when some returned veterans needed care for the physical and mental injuries sustained during the war and when influenza was still prevalent. In addition, many people could not afford hospital care and had to rely on home nursing care.
Another need involved care for expectant mothers. The importance of professional prenatal care was only beginning to be recognized. Many babies were born at home with the assistance of untrained midwives; doctors only called when an emergency arose.
Keely was not hired to provide nursing care. Instead, she was to teach individuals how to maintain good health and to care for the sick at home "intelligently and efficiently." She also was to teach expectant mothers how to care for themselves during their pregnancies, a task the Democrat said was especially "helpful and interesting."
Between early November and mid-January, Keely taught 150 adults in classes at La Monte, Georgetown, Dresden, Lake Tebo, and Houstonia. She also taught two classes a week at Smith-Cotton High School and La Monte High School.
More classes were scheduled to begin in Sedalia soon. The classes were free; students only had to purchase a textbook for $1. Those wishing to enroll could do so at county Red Cross headquarters at the Porter-Montgomery building on West Fourth Street. The Democrat called the class offerings "a golden opportunity" in case another outbreak of flu, similar to the 1918 epidemic, hit the area.
Mrs. U. G. Stevens, a teacher and chair of nursing activities in Pettis County, praised Keely's abilities as a teacher, noting that she had "never seen Miss Keely's equal." The Democrat lauded Keely for focusing not on "technical non-essentials," but on the "most practical…methods."
The Democrat ended its coverage of Red Cross work by encouraging local residents to "get ready" by enrolling in Red Cross classes, because "we do not know when some calamity may reach us."
