The invention relates to a transmission with torque division in particular for a helicopter rotor drive.
Such transmissions have the advantage that the torque to be transmitted is distributed among several gear engagements acting in parallel so that the gear forces per gear engagement are reduced and a higher power density can be achieved than in transmissions having no torque division.
In transmissions without torque division, increasing the transmissible torque by larger tooth width is possible only to a limited extent. In spur gears, there appears the danger of edge wear caused by housing deformation or imprecision in the production. In broad bevel gears or crown gears, problems appear with the tooth shape and it is possible above a certain tooth width to produce spiral bevel gears only at considerable expense or not at all.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,135,442, regarded as the closest art, has disclosed an angle transmission in which the power of a driving pinion is divided between two bevel gears lying opposite to each other on both sides of the pinion. Each one of the bevel gears is non-rotatably connected, via a shaft, with one other pinion. The added pinions are in simultaneous tooth engagement with a summarizing gear. In this solution, the large number of parts is a disadvantage.
For higher one-step ratios in the divided stage, a larger axial distance of the shafts and, accordingly, larger installation space would be needed.
The problem on which the invention is based is to provide a transmission with torque division which allows a high ratio and high power density in small installation space with light weight and a small number of functional elements.
This problem is solved, according to the invention, by the fact that a first power transmission branch has, as known per se, a first rotatable driving pinion which is in constant engagement with a first toothed wheel on the output side and at least one other power transmission branch has one other driving pinion co-axial to the first driving pinion which is in constant engagement with one other toothed wheel on the output side co-axial to the first toothed wheel on the output side.
The co-axial arrangement is very favorable in relation to number of parts and required space.
In an advantageous development of the invention, a torsionally elastic member is disposed in the torque flow of each of the power transmission branches. Hereby the power or torque distribution to the two power transmission branches can be definitely controlled and there is achieved an insensitivity to the deformations which can be produced in driving operation due, e.g. to static or thermal loads.
When the ratio of the torsional remittances of the torsionally elastic members is substantially corresponding to the (rolling) radial ratio of the associated driving pinion (the same ratio applies to the toothed wheels on the output side), the magnitude of the tangential forces in the tooth engagements of the power transmission branches is substantially equal so that when the tooth widths are equal a uniform load of the teeth is obtained. In this connection, the expression torsional resistance is understood as measure for the torque with which the part concerned counteracts a torsion around a certain angle.
A compact system is obtained when the torsionally elastic members between a branching point on the input side and the driving pinions are in co-axial pinion shifts disposed within each other with a torsionally resilient design, it is advantageous that the driving pinion of the radially outer pinion shaft be torsionally supported on the radially inner pinion shaft.
On the branching point, the pinion shafts are preferably non-rotatably interconnected by a positive fit spline, e.g. a toothed shaft spline. In an advantageous development, torsion resilient sections lie between the branching point and the pinion teeth so that the pinions are rotatable against each other under load around a load-dependent angle.
A very simple, high-load and reliable rotatable support of the driving pinion of the radially outer pinion shaft upon the radially inner pinion shaft is obtained when the support is designed as sliding bearing, the bearing races being integrated in the driving pinion or the pinion shaft. The supporting properties can be advantageously affected by a non-ferrous metal coating of the bearing races.
A thin-walled hollow shaft section is an advantageous development of a torsion-resilient shaft section in which the tensions are minimal compared to alternative developments. Especially in the radially outer pinion shaft, the wall thickness must be selected small to obtain torsional resilience. The polar surface inertia torque of the cross-section of the radially inner shaft is anyway substantially smaller due to the great dependence on the radius.
An alternative development of a torsion-resilient shaft section has, e.g. longitudinally oriented recesses. In other cases, it can be advantageous to produce the outer pinion shaft of a material of low thrust module, such as titanium.
To adjust the load portions of the power transmission branches, it is advantageous that the relative rotational position of the pinion shafts be adjustable at least once. The adjustability can be achieved, for instance, by providing on the branching point an helical-cut spline and the axial position of both pinion shafts being adjustable by means of spacers. But adhesive joints or frictionally coupled, pressed connections on the branching point or between pinion shaft and pinion, likewise, are possible so that the rotational position can be adjusted once during the assembly.
A development where at least one of the driving pinions is designed forming a single piece with the pinion shaft is advantageous with regard to the number of parts.
The inventive transmission can be used in several advantageous constellations.
An embodiment in which the toothed wheels on the output side are designed as cylindrical spur gears is advantageously suited to a parallel arrangement of input and output of this transmission stage.
When the toothed wheels on the output side are designed as bevel gears, the most diverse angles can he obtained between input and output of the transmission.
When the toothed wheels on the output side are designed as crown gears and the cylindrical driving pinions are disposed forming a right angle therewith, axial movements of the driving pinions do not act upon the radial teeth play.
With driving pinions designed as bevel gears, it is possible to adjust the teeth play by setting the axial position, e.g. by means of spacers. Combined with toothed wheels on the output side likewise designed beveled—as described—the most diverse angles can be implemented between input and output of the transmission, the extensions of the axles normally having a common intersection point.
Desirable in other installation cases is a center distance which is made possible when the driving pinion and the toothed wheels on the output side form hypoid pairs.
The known advantages of helical-cut teeth or spiral teeth are a higher degree of contact and less teeth noises. By an axial displacement of an helical-cut pinion, along its axis of rotation, it is favorably possible to affect the load portion of the power transmission branch concerned.
It is advantageous that the helix angle of the wheel pairs of the power transmission branches have opposite directions. In this manner, a compensation of axial forces takes place so that a smaller axial bearing is sufficient. If the pinion shafts are fixed axially to each other, but supported as a unit with axial play against the toothed wheels on the output side, there appears a power-distribution effect dependent on the helix angles.
Regarding an easy assembly, it is advantageous that the helix angles of the wheal pairs of the power transmission branches have the same sense of direction.
For kinematic reasons, it is necessary that the ratios of the power transmission branches be exactly alike. Especially simple assembly conditions are obtained when the driving pinions and the toothed wheels on the output side of the power transmission branches each have the same number of teeth. When the different power transmission branches have different rolling radii, it is advantageous that the ratio of the modules of the teeth substantially corresponds to the (rolling) radii ratio. Favorable teeth shapes are possible in this manner.
For higher total ratios, it is favorable that a transition stage be provided on the output side.
Finally, it is advantageous that one pinion of one power take-off unit be constantly engaged with one of the toothed wheels on the output side. The pinion creates a permanent operative connection of the tail rotor drive with the main rotor.
The invention is explained in detail with reference to the enclosed drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of parts of the inventive transmission;
FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal view though the inventive transmission with bevel toothed wheels;
FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal view through the inventive transmission with cylindrical toothed wheels; and
FIG. 4 shows a helicopter rotor drive for two prime movers.
FIG. 1 shows parts of the inventive transmission in perspective view. Both toothed wheels 2, 4 on the output side are non-rotatably connected with each other and with the rotor mast 44 around the axis of which they are rotatably supported. The toothed wheel 2 output of a first power transmission branch is in constant engagement with the pinion 6. Co-axially to the latter is situated a driving pinion 8 of a second power transmission branch which is in constant engagement with the toothed wheel 4 on the output side.
The pinion shafts 10, 12 designed as hollow shafts are positioned co-axially within each other and non-rotatably interconnected only at a branching point 16 on the output side. In the area between the branching point 16 and the engagements of the pinions 6, 8 with the toothed wheels 2, 4, the pinion shafts 10, 12 have a certain torsional elasticity. In addition, the radially outer pinion shaft 12 has a relatively thin-walled area 14. The radially inner pinion shaft 10 is somewhat longer and has a smaller radius so that even without a special thin-walled area, it can already have a desired torsional elasticity. The torsional elasticity of both shafts 10, 12 are measured, so that in the transmission shown, a torsional elasticity of approximately 0.4° is possible under full load.
The ratio of the torsional resistances of the torsionally elastic members, the pinion shafts, corresponds substantially to the rolling radial ratio of the associated driving pinions 6, 8 so that a uniform tooth load is achieved. In the embodiment shown, the wheels 2,4, 6, 8 are spiral cut, the wheels of both power transmission branches having the same sense of direction or sense of direction of the helix angle. The pinions 6, 8 and the toothed wheels 2, 4 each have the same number of teeth, respectively, the ratio of the modules substantially corresponding to the rolling radial ratio. The geometry of the teeth of both power transmission branches can be advantageously optimized separately from each other.
In FIG. 1 is also shown a transition stage formed by bevel gears 18 and 20, wherein the wheel 18 is non-rotatably connected with both pinion shafts at the branching point 16 and the wheel 20 is connected by the shaft 22 with a drive mechanism (not shown). The pinion 24 of a power take-off unit 56, leading to the tail rotor, is constantly engaged with the toothed wheel 4 on the output side. A permanent operative connection of main rotor and tail rotor is thereby created by the shaft 26 and the flange 28.
Independently of the transmission 30, the power take-off unit is advantageously designed as a separate module with its own housing (not shown), whereby easy adaptability for different installations can be achieved.
In FIG. 2, the parts, corresponding to FIG. 1, are given the same reference numerals. At the branching point 16, both pinion shafts 10, 12 are interconnected positively and free of relative rotational play by a shaft spline connection 32. Torque is transmitted from the bevel gear 18 to the two pinion shafts 10, 12, likewise by a shaft spline connection 34 situated in the same axial area as the shaft spline connection 32. The shaft spline connections 32, 34 allow axial displacement of the non-rotatably connected parts, the spacers 36, 38 serve to establish the axial positions of both pinions 6, 8 relative to each other and opposite to the housing 40 which is made of light metal or weight-sparingly of fibrous compact material.
Under load both pinions 6, 8 are reciprocally rotatable due to the torsional elasticity of the pinion shafts 10, 12. In the embodiment shown, the radially outer pinion 8 is rotatably supported upon the radially inner pinion shaft 10. The outer pinion shaft 10 is also supported on by first end bearing 62. The inner pinion shaft 10 is supported at the opposed end, by a second end bearing 64 to facilitate rotation of the pinion shafts 10, 12 relative to the housing 40. Between pinion 8 and shaft 10 are fitted surfaces which may be a non-ferrous metal in order to improve the supporting properties on their surfaces. The sliding bearing formed thereby, in which the bearing races 42 are integrated into the driving pinion or the pinion shaft, has the advantages of a small number of parts, freedom of play and high load capacity.
In the embodiment shown, both driving pinions 6, 8 and the toothed wheels 2, 4 on the output side are designed as bevel gears whereby a desired angle can be obtained between input and output. To reduce the number of parts, the pinions 6, 8 form a single piece, respectively, with the pinion shafts. 10, 12.
The toothed wheels 2, 4 on the output side are non-rotatably connected by fastening elements 46 with the rotor mast 44. Spacers 48, 50 make possible the adjustment of the vertical position of the wheels 2, 4 relative to each other and the adjustment of the vertical position of the transmission 30 relative to the rotor bearing 52 and rotor mast 44.
FIG. 3 shows one other embodiment of an inventive transmission in which both the toothed wheels 2, 4 on the output side and the driving pinions 6, 8 are designed as cylindrical spur gears and the axis of rotation of the pinions is parallel to the axis of rotation of the toothed wheels on the output side. Parts corresponding to each other are given the same reference numerals. It is advantageous in this arrangement that the radial play of the teeth between the wheels 2, 6 and 4, 8 is independent of the axial position of both pinions 6, 9. The wheels are helical cut so that the adjustment of the axial position of the pinions 6, 8 by means of the spacers 36, 54 can be used to adjust the load portions of the individual. power transmission branches.
FIG. 4 finally shows a representation of an inventive helicopter rotor main drive in which are provided two primer movers (not shown). Two pinions 6, 8 are simultaneously engaged respectively with the two toothed wheels 2,4 on the output side. Each power divided transmission 30 has one input flange for tying a prime mover (not shown).
The power take-off unit 56, with the rotatably supported pinion 24 of a pinion shaft 26 and a flange 28, is designed as separate module and serves to drive tail rotor (not shown). In the embodiment shown, the axes of rotation of the pinions 6, 8, 24, respectively, cut the axes of rotation of the toothed wheels 2, 4 on the output side, which is equal to the axis of rotation of the rotor mast. Depending on installation conditions, it can be desirable to position the pinion axes offset in parallel relative to the representation. In this case the pinions of the toothed wheels 2, 4 on the output side are provided with beveloid teeth.
The power take-off 60 is driven by a spur gear step and serves to drive auxiliary units, such as oil, pumps or generators.
The embodiments show the present transmissions with two power transmission branches. It Is easily possible to provide more than two co-axial driving pinions and also several co-axial toothed wheels on the output side in order to distribute the driving power over still more engagements.
Compared to a known system without power distribution with the same transmissible torque, an inventive transmission has a smaller diameter by about 15% or with the same diameter a transmissible torque substantially 50% greater, whereby is also particularly obtained a substantial advantage in weight which acts especially favorably when used in the helicopter. But the expert will also find other uses for the proposed power divided transmission construction.

His coaches and teammates believe J.T. Barrett has assumed the starting quarterback job at No. 5 Ohio State as if that were the plan all along.
It wasn't, of course. The freshman got the job when two-time Big Ten player of the year Braxton Miller reinjured his throwing shoulder on Aug. 18 and was lost for the season.
Coach Urban Meyer says Barrett is doing a great job handling one of the highest profile jobs at the college level. Fellow Buckeyes say Barrett is a cool, patient kid mature beyond his 19 years.
It's only natural for there to be growing pains as a youngster goes from understudy to the spotlight. This much is certain: All eyes will be on Barrett when Ohio State opens against Navy on Saturday.

Leading or Lagging? Consumer Credit Risk Portfolio Management
Carroll, Peter, Martin, Duncan, The Journal of Lending & Credit Risk Management
Early findings from a joint research project were reported by RMA and Oliver, Wyman & Company in June during RMA's annual Consumer Credit Risk Management Conference. The most pressing issue facing the retail side of the bank, the research revealed, is the integration of marketing and risk management. The complete findings have been published and are available from RMA.
Is consumer credit risk portfolio management ahead of or behind its counterpart on the wholesale side of the bank? In part, that is what RMA set out to find in a recent study. Having surveyed the wholesale side in 1997-98, the consumer side study went to 38 institutions, representing over $1 trillion of consumer assets, for detailed information on portfolio management practices, and interviewed 30 industry leaders to discover best practices and discuss priorities going forward.
What the study found is surprising. In some respects the retail side is ahead of the wholesale side; in other respects it is behind. What emerges most clearly, however, is the distinctive nature of the portfolio management challenge in consumer lending. Whereas the topical issue on the wholesale side is the separation of origination and portfolio holding functions, the most pressing issue facing the retail side of the bank is integrating marketing and risk.
What did the research actually find? First, the term "portfolio management" has very different meanings to different people within the consumer bank. To business line managers, portfolio management means the set of measures, analytics and tactics through which they run their business and attempt to enhance the profitability of their loan portfolio. Credit line increases, balance transfer solicitations, and activation incentives are all examples of this type of "portfolio management."
To people outside the line of business, including outsiders (analysts, regulators), portfolio management primarily means the set of measures, analytics and policies (such as limits and cut-offs) by which the bank guards itself against damaging levels of charge-offs.
Figure 1 illustrates the two types of portfolio management.
Within the framework of these two meanings, the RMA study had five high-level, or "thematic," findings.
1. Top-down portfolio management is focused on loss and capital calculations and the avoidance of unpleasant surprises.
The first major theme is that credit portfolio management, in the particular sense of applied modern portfolio theory (MPT), is really not being practiced in North American consumer banking. Instead, top-down portfolio management is focused on making accurate loan loss forecasts and economic capital attributions while ensuring that "unpleasant surprises" that would reduce the institution's stock price or credit rating are avoided.
The absence of MPT reflects a perception that there may be more benefits to applying MPT in wholesale than in retail. For many banks, MPT applied to wholesale portfolios can result in a significantly different perspective, with aggregate risk seen to be much lower once intra- and inter-portfolio correlations are considered. In contrast, in consumer portfolios, the degree of difference made by MPT is less marked. There is a surprisingly low correlation of risk between the members of consumer portfolios--even within regional portfolios. Across consumer portfolios there is a moderately high correlation of risk as all portfolios tend to track the economic cycle. This diminishes the difference in perspective that comes from applying MPT. Thus far, therefore, the consumer side of the bank has placed a higher priority on other important issues than on MPT. This may come to be seen as an opportunity forgone, however, since it seems likely that consumer loan portfolios reduce the volatility of total bank loan losses.
If the practice of portfolio management does not yet embrace MPT, what does it do? …

So I was thinking back from last year when someone mentioned Takeo Spikes, who in my opinion has been a great linebacker his entire career, has never been on a Playoff team. Starting out in Cincinnati, they were one of the worst teams in the NFL. Moves to Buffalo, where it seemed like they fielded sorry teams every season. The one year he was in Philadelphia? 8-8, miss the playoffs (Eagles advanced to Playoffs and made it to the 2nd round the next season). Of course, we know he was here for a couple years, both of which we were hyped to be the champions of the NFC West and busted harder than Peter North. So, this offseason he leaves to San Diego, who just came off an MVP caliber season by Philip Rivers and poised to win the AFC West. What happens? Philip Rivers has thrown more picks in 8 games this year than he did the entire year last year, and the 49ers are 7-1.
Is Takeo Spikes the real-life Madden Curse? Great player, but whatever team he's on will never make the playoffs.

Okay, so it wasn't the greatest Phillies season of this era, but you can't go through 162 games and not produce some memorable moments. Courtesy of reader Kevin Watkin, who is responsible for putting together this highlight reel, here is a collection of the best of the Fightins in 2012.
Instant Replay: Cubs 4, Phillies 1
Instant Replay: Cubs 4, Phillies 1
CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs continue to dominate the Phillies with extra-base hits and terrific starting pitching.
They beat the Phils for the second day in a row Saturday. The final score at Wrigley Field was 4-1. Right-hander Kyle Hendricks went the distance for the win. The Phils scored in the ninth inning to avoid a shutout.
The Phils have been held to two or fewer runs 18 times and one or fewer 11 times. They are averaging just 3.22 runs per game.
The Cubs, who lead the majors with 33 wins, have stroked nine extra-base hits in the first two games of the series and four of them have been homers. The Phils have just three extra-base hits, all doubles. One was a misplay by the Cubs' outfield.
The Phillies are 1-4 on this six-game road trip, which started in Detroit.
The Phils have lost six of their last eight games and are now just three games over .500 at 26-23.
Starting pitching report
Eickhoff was not nearly as efficient as he was in his previous start when he threw just 85 pitches in seven innings in a 5-0 win over Atlanta. This time, Eickhoff threw a season-high 109 pitches over six innings. He gave up eight hits, four for extra bases and four runs. He walked one and struck out seven.
Eickhoff was tagged for three extra-bases hits in the first inning, a home run and two doubles. For the season, Eickhoff is 2-7 with a 4.07 ERA.
Hendricks held the Phillies to five hits, three of which were singles. He was not overpowering, but his command was exceptional. He did not walk a batter and struck out seven while throwing just 104 pitches.
Jon Lester held the Phillies to one earned run in 6⅓ innings Friday.
Bullpen report
The Cubs didn't need one. Andrew Bailey and Elvis Araujo pitched scoreless ball for the Phillies.
At the plate
The Phillies had just five hits. Ryan Howard returned to the starting lineup and went 0 for 4 to drop to .154.
The Cubs, who hit three home runs Friday, got their power game going early as Dexter Fowler led off the bottom of the first inning with a solo homer against Eickhoff. Jason Heyward and Ben Zobrist both doubled in the inning as the Cubs went up 2-0 in the first. Heyward doubled home a run in the second inning.
Up next
The Phillies and Cubs close out the series Sunday afternoon. Vince Velasquez (5-1, 2.75) pitches for the Phillies against right-hander John Lackey (4-2, 3.83).
The Phillies return home Monday night to open a 10-game homestand that will see Washington, Milwaukee and the Cubs comes to town.
Police: Pelicans guard Bryce Dejean-Jones shot and killed in Dallas
Police: Pelicans guard Bryce Dejean-Jones shot and killed in Dallas
DALLAS -- New Orleans Pelicans rookie Bryce Dejean-Jones was fatally shot after breaking down the door to a Dallas apartment, authorities said Saturday.
Officers were called early Saturday and found the 23-year-old player collapsed in an outdoor passageway, Senior Cpl. DeMarquis Black said in a statement. Dejean-Jones was taken to a hospital where he died.
A person living at the apartment was sleeping when he heard his front door kicked open, Black said. The man retrieved a handgun and fired when Dejean-Jones began kicking the bedroom door.
Dejean-Jones was from Los Angeles and it wasn't immediately clear why he was in Dallas.
"We are devastated at the loss of this young man's life (and) who had such a promising future ahead of him," the Pelicans said in a statement.
In his only NBA season, which ended in February because of a broken right wrist, the 6-foot-6 guard started 11 of 14 games and averaged 5.6 points and 3.4 rebounds.
He was part of the 2014-15 Iowa State team that went 25-9, captured a Big 12 title and made a fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. He was fourth on the team in scoring, averaging 10.5 points in 33 games. He shot a career-best 47.6 percent in his lone season as a Cyclone. He also played at Southern California and UNLV.
"This is a very, very sad and tragic day for everyone that's a part of the Cyclone basketball family," Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said.
Former Cyclones coach Fred Hoiberg added in a statement that Dejean-Jones was a "passionate and talented player that lived out his dream of playing in the NBA through hard work and perseverance."
Stanley Cup: Offseason moves send Sharks to final after missing playoffs
Stanley Cup: Offseason moves send Sharks to final after missing playoffs
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- After watching the San Jose Sharks miss the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade, general manager Doug Wilson set out to remake the team last offseason.
Individually, none of the moves sent shockwaves through the NHL. The Sharks hired a coach who made the playoffs once in seven seasons as an NHL coach, traded a first-round pick for a goalie who had been a backup his entire career, added two playoff-tested veterans for depth at forward and defense and signed an unheralded Finnish rookie.
Together, the additions of Peter DeBoer, Martin Jones, Joel Ward, Paul Martin and Joonas Donskoi to a solid core that had underachieved proved to be the right mix to get the Sharks to their long-awaited first Stanley Cup Final appearance.
"I thought this team has a lot of the pieces of that puzzle," Martin said. "Doug did a great job bringing guys in that he did, to make that push for it. I don't think many people would have guessed that we'd be here right now, but I think we believed."
The players all said the disappointment of blowing a 3-0 series lead to Los Angeles in 2014 and then missing the playoffs entirely last season served as fuel for this season's success.
DeBoer also credited former coach Todd McLellan for helping put the foundation in place that he was able to capitalize on. The Sharks became the second team in the past 10 seasons to make it to the final after missing the playoffs the previous season, joining the 2011-12 Devils that pulled off the same trick in DeBoer's first season in New Jersey.
"Everyone was ready for something a little bit fresher and newer, not anything that much different," DeBoer said. "The additions that Doug made, it just came together. I inherited a similar team in New Jersey when I went in there. First time they missed the playoffs for a long time the year before I got there. I think when you go into that situation, when you have really good people like there was in New Jersey when I went in there, like I was with this group ... they're embarrassed by the year they just had, and they're willing to do and buy into whatever you're selling to get it fixed again. I think I was the benefactor of that."
The transition from McLellan to DeBoer wasn't seamless. As late as Jan. 8, the Sharks were in 13th place in the 14-team Western Conference and seemingly on the way to another missed postseason.
But with Logan Couture finally healthy after being slowed by a broken leg early in the season and the move by DeBoer to put Tomas Hertl on the top line with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski, the Sharks rolled after that and made the playoffs as the third-place team in the Pacific Division.
In-season additions of players like depth forwards Dainius Zubrus and Nick Spaling, physical defenseman Roman Polak and backup goaltender James Reimer helped put the Sharks in the position they are now.
"With the new coaching staff we needed to realize how we needed to play to win," Thornton said. "Once that clicked, and that probably clicked maybe early December, I think after that, we just exploded. I think that's really when we saw the depth of this team. Everybody plays a big part."
That has been especially true in the playoffs when longtime core players like Thornton, Couture, Joe Pavelski and Patrick Marleau got the support that had often been lacking during past postseason disappointments.
Jones has posted three shutouts in the playoffs, including the Game 7 second-round clincher against Nashville and back-to-back games in the conference final against St. Louis. He has proven more than capable of being an NHL starter after serving an apprenticeship as Jonathan Quick's backup in Los Angeles.
Ward scored two goals in each of the final two games of the conference final and has 11 points this postseason. Donskoi exceeded expectations just to make the team as a rookie and has solidified his spot on the second line with five goals and nine points.
Martin's steady play has allowed offensive-minded defenseman Brent Burns to roam at times and given San Jose a strong second defensive pair that had been missing in previous seasons.
Zubrus and Spaling played a big role as penalty killers and on the fourth line, while Polak has been one of the team's most physical players.
"Doug did a great job this summer, this season," Couture said. "A lot of credit needs to go to him for the guys he brought in."

Dear Robert,
Thank you for your wonderful encouraging letters. I got the book Pioneers of Recovery. It is very positive, has helpful information and surely is worth of purchasing. I started to use passionflower drops in a glass of water (10 drops three times / day) – it does help with tremors.
I also made massage oil for same using frankincense drops; one drop / 1cc of carrier oil ( I use almond oil) – I use it on my neck and arm – it helps. I also use Magnesium powder.
I learned all that from your book. I just studied it a bit more. I am on my way to recover, next step is to detox and get Aquas…
In addition, of course, I use your meditation CDs every day – They are very helpful, issues that I had forgotten come out.
Again, Thank you!!

My Passion for the Pioneers of Recovery Project
I have been awestruck by the pessimism that pervades talk about Parkinson's disease. Every where you look, you see predictions of gloom and doom. People with Parkinson's presumably have no possibility of recovering.
My intuitive sense told me that this could not be true. As a researcher, I decided it was high time to prove it. What better way to dispel a myth than to bring clear and convincing evidence that it is not true?
I do not deny for a minute that the pessimistic belief that Parkinson's Disease is "degenerative" and "progressive" is held in the minds and hearts of millions. I also know that if people believe this to be true, it will become true in fact. Thoughts are the most powerful force in the universe.
My passion is to manifest a new belief template for the world. It is possible to recover from Parkinson's. It will happen when you believe this to be true.
There is no single answer nor will there be a single answer tomorrow. There is no "cure." But, there are many, many activities and approaches that can help and make a huge difference.
The pioneers I interviewed are courageous people who have embraced the true belief that recovery is possible. Better yet, they are doing it in their own way and time. Each story is remarkable. I am privileged to have the honor of documenting their stories.
Read this remarkable book that documents the stories of recovery and …
- Discover herbs that can help with specific symptoms –Andrew Bentley is a herbalist who is getting great results with his Parkinson's clients. Andrew talks about specific herbs he uses for very specific symptoms like tremors, rigidity and excessive salivation. What he is doing for his own clients will help revolutionize how Parkinson's is treated.
- Explore the healing power of essential oils – What are essential oils and how can they help you? Jean Oswald answers these questions for us. She offers specific recommendations about the type of essential oil that can help relieve specific symptoms.
- Find the amazing stories of people with Parkinson's who are feeling better – Seven of the 14 interviews are with persons who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's. Each story is unique. Each person is doing something different to feel better. Each story is packed with hope that relief is possible for anyone.
- Celebrate what two people with Parkinson's have done for themselves to become symptoms free today – John Coleman is a naturopath doctor who is symptom free today. He now helps others recover. John talks about his own recovery and what he found to be most useful. Nathan Zakheim had an advanced stage of Parkinsons and was a few months shy of having to live in a nursing home. Nathan too is symptom free today. He also talks about what he did to recover.
- Receive a detailed explanation of therapies that help people feel better – There is no single therapy or approach that is the panacea. People have discovered there many therapies and approaches that are effective.You will find in Pioneers of Recovery: First Set of Interviews with 14 Pioneers a detailed information about the therapies that are helping people feel better.
- Obtain contact information of the health care providers. Each of the health care experts provides detailed contact information. You can get in touch with them if you are interested in learning more.
- Gain an understanding of therapies that unlock unconscious resistance to healing – Sometimes part of us wants to heal, but another part resists healing. I found several people to interview – a psychologist and a international expert in Neuro-Linguistic Programming – who offer exciting ideas to help unlock any unconscious resistance to taking the steps that are necessary to recover.
- Realize how a famous comedian and juggler maintains focus, harmony and balance while he juggles. – Chris Bliss is famous for many reasons, but he is probably most famous for a 5 minute juggling act that has been seen by over 40 million people on the internet. Chris talks about how he goes about maintaining a healthy sense of balance in his life and during his juggling act which has profound implications for Parkinson's.
|In one of the Pioneers of Recovery interviews, your guest is recommending a new formula of Glutathione. I've tried this Liposomal Glutathione now for 3 weeks with great results. After 1st time taking it, immediately my energy level has doubled, my mind got much clearer, the off period is reduced and I feel very relaxed. It feels like going back from stage 3.5 to stage 2 on the PD scale.Sugit
Why not benefit from the experiences of other people with Parkinson's who have experimented with a variety of therapies, approaches and modalities? I can guarantee you that you will find suggestions and possibilities here that you have never seen or heard about.
I have been doing research on Parkinson's for over a decade and I have never heard or seen many of the suggestions you will see in Pioneers of Recovery.
- Herbs can make a huge difference. Find out which ones are helpful and for which symptoms.
- Essential oils can provide welcome relief from specific symptoms. Learn about which ones make the difference for which symptoms.
- Do you suspect you have unconscious resistance to launching an authentic program of recovery for yourself? Discover what a psychologist and a neuro-linguistic specialist recommend is helpful for people with Parkinson's.
- Have you ever wondered whether physical therapy can be of any help? Read what a physical therapist has to recommend who works with people with Parkinson's every day.
- You have probably heard rumors about people with Parkinson's who are feeling better. Ever wondered what they did to make this happen?
There is no consistent pattern to the stories. No universal "truths"of recovery are revealed. Each story is unique and special. There are gems in each person's story that have the potential to be of enormous help to anyone who has the symptoms of Parkinson's today.
I am amazed at how many web sites exist that offer the promise of a "cure" for Parkinson's. It is especially tough for me to sort through the scam artists from the sages.
Pioneers of Recovery is a compendium of authentic transcriptions and audios of interviews with real people. You can contact all seven experts directly. There is also contact information for two of the persons I interviewed who have the symptoms of Parkinson's. The other five interviewees elected to be anonymous.
There are internet web sites that make claims of amazing cures for one therapy or another, but they never document the "cures." Pioneers of Recovery is not about revealing and "cures" or promoting any particular therapy or treatment. Rather, you will find in the book invaluable information and contacts that can give you a jump start on your own recovery program.
Listen to your own intuition as you get some great suggestions in Pioneers of Recovery that can jump start your own path to healing.

What Questions are Answered by the Pioneers?
What follows are samples of questions I asked of each interviewee. Pioneers of Recovery is a transcription of the answers, so you can rest assured that the answers have not been massaged or altered or modified in any way.
Each person I interviewed read and edited the transcript of their interview, so what you see is what the person really said and what they really meant, not my interpretation of what they said or meant.
Sample of Questions that I asked the experts:
Andrew Bentley – Herbalist
- What does a herbalist do for people?
- What herbs in your past experience are helpful for people who have central nervous system challenges?
- If a person came in and had a dominate tremor, that would inform a certain set of herbs or maybe just one dominate herb versus if someone came in with a dominate symptom of pain and rigidity, that would inform a different recommendation of herbs?
- Many people ask me a question about excessive salivation. Is there anything you would suggest as a possibility in the herbal area for that?
- What would be recommendations for a person who presents depression as a primary symptom?
- Could you talk about your experience with people who have the symptoms of Parkinsons and how these herbs have helped them?
- It sounds like for the people with Parkinson's that you have seen the results are indeed encouraging. People are seeing relief from their symptoms. You offer hope that there are people who have become virtually symptom free – maybe not totally – but virtually symptom free. Do I understand that correctly? Is that what you said?
- One specific herb that I do not think you have mentioned (and what many people are interested in is called Mucuna.
Many people have been acquiring that from India as a dopamine supplement. Do you prescribe mucuna for your patients?
Carl Buchheit – Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
- Can NLP be useful to persons who have the symptoms of Parkinson's?
- One of the common symptoms of Parkinson's is anxiety. If a person were to focus on a specific
event or events that create the anxiety, then would it be possible working with an NLP therapist to find quick relief from that anxiety?
- You mentioned some of the misinformation on the internet about NLP. Do you have other books or tapes or CD's that you would recommend people might look at to find out more about NLP?
- There are many people that believe once they are diagnosed with Parkinson's they are always going to get worse. From my understanding of what you have said, you have worked with individuals with Parkinson's who have gotten better. Is that correct?
Chris Bliss – Comedian, Juggler
- When you are juggling and when you are in that place of perfect balance and harmony, hat does it feel like?
- In your shows you do both the comedy and juggling. As I understand it, what you are saying is that many times that place of perfect harmony and balance is actually present when you are doing both, not just when you are juggling?
- For people with the symptoms of Parkinsons fear and tress are huge issues. When fear and stress are up, symptoms flare. Do you ever feel fearful or stress when you are juggling? How do you get yourself out of being in fear when fear rolls in while you are performing, if it ever does?
- People with Parkinsons who are finding ways to feel better tell me that there are certain things that help them feel more in balance. I want to ask you if you do these things.
- Many who have the symptoms of Parkinson's tell me they are very careful about making sure they are properly hydrated, that they drink enough water. Is that anything that is conscious for you?
- People also tell me they have various ways they relieve stress. Everybody faces stress every day. One of the ways to release stress is humor. Is humor one of the biggest ways you relieve your own stress?
- A number of people have told me that they have had great relief from their symptoms because they have such strong support systems and support networks. Yet, you are often traveling. You are all over the place. Do you have a strong social network or support system for yourself?
- What practical suggestions do you have for people who are trying to live their lives in that very same space you are in when you are juggling?
Jean Oswald, R.N., CCA – Aromatherapist
- When I use the term "essential oils" what is that exactly? What is an essential oil?
- How would I know what type of essential oil will help me? For example, if my symptoms are tremors and rigidity, are there specific essential oils that can help offer me some relief from my symptoms?
- Has there been research to evaluate the impact of essential oils?
- What if an individual has problems with muscle rigidity and it is very difficult for them to move with ease. What is an essential oil that might help relieve that particular symptom?
- How about the problem of tremors? What essential oils might be recommended to relieve that symptom?
- A problem some people have is with excessive salivation. Are there any essential oils that come to mind specifically for that symptom?
- How about insomnia?
- Many people I interview talk quite extensively about stress and how that affects them. When they are under extreme stress their symptoms flare up. Can essential oils address the problems that stress creates?
- There are some reports that pathogens and bacterial infections confound the symptoms of Parkinson's. Do essential oils have the potential to address those pathogens?
Lisa Brown – Physical Therapist
- If I am a person who has had these challenges, when I go to you is it a question of your moving my arms and legs around so that they are more flexible or do you work with me in terms of helping me how to walk?
- A lot of people you see have had difficulty with falls or other problems. Is there any reason why a person who is first diagnosed with the symptoms of Parkinson's should come to you in the very beginning?
- When a person comes to see you is it likely that they will get a relief from symptoms and feel better or are they going to feel worse?
- You have extensive experience working with persons who have Parkinson's. Do you have an exercise protocol that you give to people that you recommend everybody does or is the work you do very specific to the person's needs?
- What would you say is the most important thing for persons with Parkinson's to know about movement and about flexibility? What would you want them to know would be most important?
Steve Fenwick, Ph.D. – Psychologist
- What often happens then is that when a person comes to see you, they will come with a dream and you will help them sort through what that dream means?
- Let's say a person with the symptoms of Parkinson's is shaking or tremoring. What might be an interpretation that is possible of the shaking or tremoring in the context of the person's entire life?
- Let's say I had Parkinson's and I came to you. We begin to work together and the approach is to help me exaggerate my symptoms which is tremoring of my hand. Am I going to have certain thoughts that I didn't expect? Will I have certain feelings that I didn't expect or revelations? What is likely to happen?
- How might people with Parkinson's be helped if they do Process Work? Is it going to be connected somehow with being able to get some relief from their symptoms and feeling better?
John Coleman, ND – Naturopath
- How did you come to the realization you could get better when all indications were that you would get worse?
- There is so much information out there about what is supposed to help – vitamins, supplements, body therapies, etc. etc. How did you go about deciding what to try in terms of therapies, supplements, doctors, etc.?
- Which therapies/approaches did not work for you?
- What has helped you get the most relief from your own symptoms?
- Is there anything in particular that you recommend for the symptoms of:
- Pain
- Inability to sleep
- Constipation
- Tremors
- What was recovery like for you?
- What about your patients… what has their experience been like?
- Among your patients with Parkinson's, how many are getting relief
from their symptoms? How many have been able to see full relief from
their symptoms?
- Does a person have to make any lifestyle changes to recover?
- It took you three and a half years to recover. That is a long time to sustain hope. How did you do it?
- How can I reduce or manage my rigidity, spasms and burning sensations?
- When should we start taking medication?
- Could you discuss the approaches using the Emotional Freedom Technique for my Parkinson's condition and your opinion of the value of the technique?
- How long did it take you see substantial symptom relief? How long did it take to become symptom free?
Sample of questions asked of persons who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's
- Can you talk a little bit about the detoxing work that you have done and the Ayurvedic work?
- Is it hard to stick to a diet?
- Your experience varies from day to day? Every day is a new experience?
- You notice a very strong, direct relationship between stress and the symptoms?
- What types of things do you do other than all the meds to be able to release some of that stress that you're under?
- If there is one thing you would say about what's helped you the most to be able to feel better and get relief from your symptoms, what would it be? What would you tell people they really should do, whatever it may be?
- What are some of the struggles you have had with Parkinson's? Are you taking traditional medications?
- Do you take other supplements or herbs or vitamins?
- What are some of the things you do to help you feel better?
- You have really been able to continue doing all the things you have always done without much interruption?
- I am sure there are modalities, therapies and approaches that you have tried since you have had Parkinson's that really did not offer much help. Could you talk about those?
- What about other approaches, therapies and modalities that you have tried that have offered you some relief and have helped you feel better?
- When you say they tested you for lead and mercury, was this with saliva or blood or hair samples or …? How did the test actually work?
- Many believe once you begin to have the symptoms of Parkinson's you are always going to get worse and feel worse. From what you have described it sounds like that really has not happened for you. Is that right?
- When tension comes up what happens when you choose to exercise rather than relax?
- Do the symptoms get better when you exercise?
- We are all interested to know what you have tried, what has worked and what has not. Could you talk a bit about what your experience has been?
- When you talk about meditation could you possibly say a little more about specifically what type of meditative approach works best for you?
- Do you notice when you do this meditative technique that there is a relief in symptoms?
- What other approaches or natural therapy do you use that you find gives you relief of your symptoms?
- Are there any dietary concerns that you have or that you would tend to that you would like other people to know about that seem to make a difference?
- So what about exercise? Do you notice any connection between activity, exercise and feeling better?
- What would you want to say to someone who has just heard the news that they have Parkinson's?
- Over the course of the period that you have had the symptoms, it sounds like what you have been able to do is to find a number of ways to get relief as those symptoms begin to flare up?
- What you have been doing to get relief from your symptoms?
- What about craniosacral work?
- You have done so many therapies and tried so many things. Some of them haven't helped and some of them have. Are you getting better?
- Is there anything that you would want to be sure and say to a person who is just been diagnosed with Parkinson's?
- About how much time everyday or every week do you spend on your exercise program?
- You definitely notice a difference? When you exercise you feel better and when you don't exercise you feel worse?
- Tell us who you are and what your story is in terms of having had Parkinson's and being able to recover.
- You mentioned that a lot of the work that you were doing was challenging. After you were able to recover, were you able to go back full steam into doing work and other kind of activities?
- What would you say to somebody who has just been diagnosed with Parkinson's?
- Are you in contact with or do you know many other people whose story is similar to yours? People who had Parkinson and have been able to get relief from their symptoms?
- Could you summarize for people, from just your own experience and observations of others, what is it that happens to others who do not recover, who are not able to feel better?
- You've also described in terms of your own recovery. It is not exactly a smooth ride up. Are there some rocky spots on the path to recovery?
- What you have to do is help the body detox?
- What generally did the doctors recommend would be a good path to pursue?
- Can you talk about a bit, exactly what you're doing now? Are you still doing the craniosacral?
- Are you taking supplements of one kind or another?

- What do you suppose might have been the contributing factors that created the symptoms for you?
- You're out there exploring and experimenting and have quite fascinating
experiences. For a person that might first be discovering that they have the symptoms of Parkinsons what would you want to say to them? What advice would you give to them?
- When you say you do eat well, could you provide any specifics on that? I mean, steak, mashed potatoes, French fries, milkshakes. What is it that you like to eat? What do you try to avoid?
- Did you get some relief from your symptoms after attending Hypocrates? Have you been able to keep up with the dietary regimen?
- When you are eating food that your body needs and loves you are going to feel better, so that is a motivator in itself?
Unique Offering
Most of the books about Parkinson's that are available to people interested in findings ways to t relief from their symptoms are small in size – only 100 to 150 pages. They present material that has been taken from the public domain. In other words, you can locate the same information in these books yourself if you are willing to take the time to find it on the internet or through library searches. You are simply paying someone else to gather the information for you.
The information you will read in Pioneers of Recovery can be found no where else on the internet or in libraries. It has just been assembled from my original interviews. The interviews represent many long hours of work, countless hours and intensive efforts of many people to assemble the rich information that has been assembled. The information in this book has the potential to help many people get relief from their symptoms.
The audio recordings have all been professionally mastered so that you can hear what is said and the sound does not jump around. The cost of the CD's is set to a low of $2.70 for each CD or $30.00 for the set of nine CD's.
Why Delay your Own Program of Recovery?
You can use some of the ideas in Pioneers of Recovery to launch your own personal program of recovery today. Quite frankly, I am truly amazed at how many genuinely rich and helpful ideas emerged from this work.
Working on publishing Pioneers of Recovery has been a true inspiration for me. Each of the 14 persons I interviewed are authentic pioneers, paving a new way for the future for anyone who has the symptoms of Parkinson's. It has been a true privilege to work on this book project and I thank each person I interviewed for sharing their experience and wisdom.
Best of Success on your journey down the road to recovery,

What is an STI?
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases that can be transmitted through bodily contact during sex. Also known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or venereal diseases (VD), they are caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites in the body.
There are many STIs and most are easy to treat. However, some, such as HIV, are far more serious. It is vital that you protect yourself by using condoms when you have sex in order to protect yourself.
Who is at risk?
There are many myths that you can get STIs from shared toilet seats or kissing, but this is not true. STIs are contracted through sexual intercourse, so anyone who is sexually active can be at risk from STIs.
What are the symptoms of STIs?
Symptoms can vary hugely and include genital discharge, pain when urinating, genital swelling, inflammation and abnormal odours.
What if I think I have an STI?
If you think you may have an STI, then it is important you consult your doctor or clinic at the earliest possible opportunity.
Many STIs, such as chlamydia, cause no noticeable symptoms, but can have serious health consequences if left untreated. If you think you have been at risk of catching an STI, it is important to have a sexual health check-up even if no symptoms appear.
The most common STIs are: gonorrhoea, chlamydia, syphilis, trichomoniasis, human papillomavirus, genital herpes, hepatitis B and C, and HIV.
If you think you may have an STI or STD, then you should visit your GP or local GUM clinic at the first available opportunity.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Peony suffruticosa 'Shimadaijin (Purple)'
Tree Peony
Plant Type: Perennials
Huge double purple flowers.
- Huge, double purple flowers
- Blooms late spring
- Do not require any support for their flowers to stand upright
|Item #
4-5 Feet
Common Name: Garden Peony
Peony is a classic perennial with unsurpassed late spring beauty. Peonies are very long-lived and develop large crowns with thick woody roots. Huge fragrant flowers bloom late spring for a spectacular show. Excellent cut flower.
Grow: Use well-drained soil with a pH 6.5-7.0. Center crown with eyes facing up and angle root at 45 towards the bottom edge of the pot
Planting Depth: Plant so eyes are 1-2" below the soil surface. If too shallow, the crown and eyes might dry out when exposed to intense spring sun. Prune root tips if necessary to obtain proper planting depth.
Temperatures: Grow cool at 45-55F until new fibrous roots are visible. Growing too warm too quickly will result in plants developing without a root structure to support it. This may cause plants to wilt or leaves to curl during high spring temps.
Watering: Allow pots to dry slightly between watering. Good drainage is a must.
Fertilizer: Peonies are light feeders and too much Nitrogen may inhibit flowering. Fertilize with 100-150ppm Nitrogen every other watering
Diseases: Botrytis is the primary culprit of buds not opening and turning black. Keep foliage dry during watering, especially during cool weather. Use fungicides to control outbreaks.

Sri Lanka women clinch Twenty20 series against India
Shashikala Siriwardene played a captain's knock to help Sri Lanka Women win the Twenty20 International series against India Women, with a six-wicket win in the third and final match on Tuesday (January 28). Siriwardene, just 17 days shy of her 29th birthday, made an unbeaten 46 off 42 balls at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam as Sri Lanka took only 18.5 overs to chase down India's 117 for 8. Having won the first T20I, Sri Lanka wrapped up its India tour on a happy note. India elected to bat first, but none of the batters except for Poonam Raut and Jhulan Goswami could get going. India's faced problems very early in its innings, losing four wickets within the first… Read More →

Among the different states in the US, Kentucky is one of the highly ranked states as far as teenage childbearing percentages are concerned. This is attributed to a number of factors one of them being the rising rate of poverty and the need to arrest the situation cannot be ignored. The main problem however is that most of the girls who give birth have to drop out of school with only a small percentage making it back primarily due to lack of funds to keep them in school again. The results is that many of these single teenage mothers have ended up suffering as they try to make ends meet with many not aware that they can benefit from different forms of grants and scholarships for single mothers available in the state. As a single mother, rising from this situation should be your goal as you look at various scholarship programs that are supported by both the government and different organizations within the state.
One of the main programs that you should consider especially if you are struggling financially is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) which provides the low-income residents with financial assistance to help them buy a decent meal for themselves. And although this program might not help you in paying for your college fees, getting the funding could come as a much needed relieve helping you to save some money for your college needs. Other grants and scholarships for single teenage mothers include Women, Infants and Children program or WICP which is federal supported and offer single mothers and other needy individuals with supplemental foods, healthcare referrals and nutritional education. Medical assistance programs and housing assistances are also available to people in need.
Additionally, you should check with the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) for different programs that targets single moms specifically. Most of the funds available and especially from, the federal government requires the applicant to file their FAFSA application and this is the first thing that you should do when considering to seek for financial assistance from numerous programs in the state. J.Jill Compassion Fund Grant is yet another ideal grant available to the single teenage mothers in the state of Kentucky and especially those that are in need of affordable housing and education. The aim of this program is to ensure that such women are able to become self-reliant something that you will appreciate as a single teenage mother.
Another great opportunity that you should look for as a single mom is the Talbots Women's Scholarship Fund from the Talbots Charitable Foundation. Offered to those who desire to obtain a college education, this program provides women with grants ranging from $10,000 and $30,000. Open Meadows also offers valuable financial assistance to women and girls and this could also offer single teenage mothers with the much needed help to fund their education dreams. And although one might not be guaranteed of much money under this project, successful applicants will be assured of much needed assistance to aid in their career dreams.
It is advisable that single teenage mothers seeking for scholarships and grants should make a number of applications for different programs under which they qualify in order to increase the chances of being awarded one or two opportunities that will help pay for their education. Additional programs to consider include Pell Grant which is a federal sponsored need-based program, The Howard P. Rawlings Educational Excellence Awards, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) and others available from churches, colleges and different universities within the state of Kentucky.
It is important to check out on the requirements as well as the deadline for each scholarship or grant as a way of enhancing your chances of winning the awards. As a single teenage mother seeking scholarships and grants in the state, should also file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which helps determine the needs of every student and the amount of money to be awarded.
