Citizenship Act
Private Members' Business
1:35 p.m.
Bill Siksay Burnaby—Douglas, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to speak in support of Bill S-2, an act to amend the Citizenship Act, which was passed in the other place, but which has been sponsored here by the member for West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country. I thank the member for doing that and for his work on this issue in the past. I know it has been very important to him. I commend him for his work.
A little while ago we heard the parliamentary secretary suggest that those of us who support this legislation are acting out of a sense of emotionalism. I am emotional about this issue. This is an issue of fundamental justice. It is something that should have been corrected many years ago to extend justice to Canadians who have lost their citizenship through no fault of their own. I want to get upset about that. I think it is embarrassing, I think it is outrageous, I think it is utterly unacceptable that this has continued for so long. I am disappointed that the parliamentary secretary does not understand that. There is no excuse for not having addressed this issue by now.
The parliamentary secretary also talked about all of the ways that the lost Canadians had been accommodated in the meantime and the waivers that were available to them. The only waiver that is available to them is the waiver that denies them Canadian citizenship. That is not acceptable. We need to undo that as soon as possible. It is long overdue. If I am emotional about it, I am proud of that because it is something that needs to be done.
The bill deals with the situation of the so-called lost Canadians. These people lost their Canadian citizenship, not through any action of their own, but because their father or their responsible parent became a citizen of another country between 1947 and 1977. I want to stress it was through no action of their own. They did not do anything to change their citizenship status.
In that period if a person's father became a citizen of another country that person automatically lost his or her Canadian citizenship. What made this outrageous step possible was section 18(1) of the 1947 Citizenship Act which reads:
Where the responsible parent of a minor child ceases to be a Canadian citizen under section 15, 16 [which deals with acquisition of another nationality], or 17 [which deals with the renunciation where dual nationality], the child thereupon ceases to be a Canadian citizen if he is or thereupon becomes, under the law of any country other than Canada, a national or citizen of that country.
This situation meant that even if a child's mother retained her Canadian citizenship, the child would lose his or hers. This is an unacceptable situation.
Many people were not aware of this situation. They only discovered it, much to their surprise and shock, many years later, years that they had spent under the assumption that they were Canadians.
This situation was corrected by revisions to the Citizenship Act in 1977, but it was not made retroactive. What a terrible oversight that was. As a member of Parliament I hope I never participate in that kind of legislative oversight. We had the chance to fix it and we did not back in 1977.
This situation has been made even stranger by a court decision that said that children born to a Canadian mother outside of Canada in the period 1947 to 1977 are Canadian citizens, even if the father became a citizen of another country. That still leaves children born in Canada to Canadian parents out of Canadian citizenship if the father took out citizenship in another country in the period from 1947 to 1977.
We could have a situation where a family that had children in Canada, emigrated to another country, the father took out citizenship and then they subsequently had children in that other country. The children born in that other country are now eligible to be Canadian citizens, whereas the children actually born in Canada are not. That is an outrageous situation.
How can it be that children born in Canada to Canadian parents cannot be Canadian citizens? This is surely something that demands our attention and our emotional attention as well.
This issue has been before the House before. It has also been the subject of discussion at the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration in previous Parliaments and in the current Parliament.
I want to acknowledge the hard work of Mr. Don Chapman and Mr. Charles Bosdet on this important issue. They have organized many lost Canadians and publicized their situation very effectively. They appeared before the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration earlier this month and told their stories yet again. They also shared the stories of many others who faced similar circumstances.
A number of us were struck by the fact that the presentation they made to the committee just a few weeks ago was almost exactly the same as the presentation they made a number of years ago to the committee, almost word for word in some cases. Clearly, the situation has not changed. The issue was urgent then, and it remains urgent now.
The impatience of Mr. Chapman and Mr. Bosdet, their frustration with this situation and with the fact that they have had to appear so many times to ask for this basic justice was palpable in that meeting, as was their passion for Canada and Canadian citizenship.
The parliamentary secretary tried to ask broader questions. I do not think she did it effectively, but she tried to ask broader questions about Canadian citizenship. I think she would have done well to listen to both Mr. Chapman and Mr. Bosdet, who were very clear about what Canadian citizenship means to them. They were very clear about their connection and history as Canadians. They would do anything to have that restored immediately. To say that these people do not feel a connection to the country of their birth and their citizenship is completely unacceptable and outrageous.
They also presented many stories of the uneven application of the existing provisions. There are many stories about how some of the lost Canadians managed to reclaim their citizenship due to the easy intervention of a citizenship official, probably in contravention of the existing law, but certainly in appreciation of the ridiculousness of the situation. There has been a very uneven application of the existing legislation with its flaws.
This matter has come up at the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. Earlier today the member for Kitchener—Waterloo, the chair of the standing committee, tabled a report in the House about a number of issues that the committee has looked at regarding citizenship. I commend it to the attention of all members.
In it there is a section on the lost Canadians since this is an issue that has been before the committee in the past and has certainly been before us in our work in this Parliament as well. The committee made a very clear recommendation in the report regarding the lost Canadians.
I want to quote the recommendation the committee made: "The committee recommends that any person born in Canada who lost their Canadian citizenship as a child because their parent acquired the nationality of another country should be eligible to resume their citizenship without first becoming a permanent resident and without having to meet a residency requirement".
The committee was very clear that this needs to go ahead directly without any special requirements because we believe that they are indeed Canadian citizens.
The remedies offered by the government just do not satisfy. Currently people who lost their citizenship in this way are automatically eligible for permanent resident status, but they must meet health, criminality, security and financial requirements and they must pay processing and landing fees. Those requirements, given the circumstances, are not acceptable.
There is no way people should have to wait the period. There is no way they should have to become permanent residents again. There is certainly no way that they should be required to pay landing and processing fees for resuming their citizenship in an appropriate way. The question of security has come up and that is dealt with in this legislation. Where there are major security issues, the cabinet still has the ability to deal with this matter.
I believe that citizenship must be restored to anyone who lost it under those circumstances. I believe they must be seen as people who have never lost their citizenship. It would be unfair and unjust to require them to engage in the permanent resident process or to have to live in Canada for a year prior to having their citizenship restored. These folks are Canadians and there should be no question about their status. The circumstances under which they were stripped of their Canadian citizenship were unjust and unfair. We must right this wrong without further delay. I agree with the member for West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country when he said that the lost Canadians must be welcomed home.

Diane Ablonczy Calgary Nose Hill, AB
Mr. Speaker, I, too, rise in support of my colleague's private member's bill to respond to the concerns of people who, through no fault of their own and no choice of their own, have been stripped of their Canadian citizenship for no reason.
Let us imagine a 20 or 30 year old having to apply for a passport because he or she has decided to travel abroad, perhaps for the first time, only to find out, after filing the application, that he or she is not a Canadian citizen. The person was born in Canada and probably lived here the whole time and yet some functionary tells the person that he or she is not a citizen because one of his or her parents left the country during a certain period of time, take out citizenship in another country and thereby, through no choice of the person who wants to travel and with no knowledge or consent, the person is no longer a Canadian.
This is a story that has been told to members of Parliament by more than one Canadian who was distraught. Some of these people have never left the country, only a parent did. When some of these people were small children they lived outside the country for a short period of time but they came back to the country, went to school, paid their taxes, raised their own families and then were told that they were no longer citizens. Some of these people are virtually stateless because they have no connection to the country where a parent went and changed their citizenship during a period of time.
If this had happened post-1977 there would have been no consequences. People would not have been stripped of their Canadian citizenship without consent because of the actions of a controlling parent . However those people who were unlucky enough to have this happen before 1977 were stripped of their Canadian citizenship without their knowledge or consent.
My colleague's bill is simple. It would redress this situation and restore full Canadian citizenship to those individuals who have been stripped of their citizenship. Members on all sides of the House have risen to say that this manifest injustice must be corrected, which is why the bill is before us today.
However, what happened? The spokesperson for the minister, the parliamentary secretary, said that the government did not know if it wanted to go ahead with this. What possible reason could the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration have for not wanting to correct an injustice that has been so poignantly pointed out to members of the House in committee, in person and in many forums around the country when we travel?
I would simply say that we have heard enough of the nonsense of finding some specious reason to delay correcting this injustice. We are a country of justice and fairness and a country that affirms the value of citizenship. I call on the House to support my colleague's bill today and to make sure that this injustice is corrected now and not later.

Andrew Telegdi Kitchener—Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased that the issue of citizenship arouses passion among members of the House. Citizenship is something very emotional. It is not just an intellectual exercise. It is something that is very much a part of our being. Certainly, in my case it has taken me on very interesting journeys.
As was mentioned by the critic for the New Democratic Party, I had the privilege of tabling a bill in the House today on the issue of a new citizenship act. We had great cooperation from members of all parties, the Conservatives, the Bloc, the New Democrats and members of my party.
Some of the comments I made this morning are very pertinent to this debate. One of my comments was that citizenship should be seen as a right for those who qualify rather than a privilege. We are talking about a right.
When it came to the issue of the lost Canadians, the committee was very strong in its recommendation. It recommended that any persons born in Canada who lost their Canadian citizenship as a child because their parent acquired a nationality of another country should be eligible to resume their citizenship without first becoming a permanent resident or without having to meet a residency requirement. The committee said that because what happened in a historical perspective was simply wrong.
It was mentioned before that what we are trying to do is to right a wrong. I am so gratified to see the near unanimous support that this concept has.
The bill was debated in the Senate and was passed twice unanimously by all the senators. The majority of members in the Senate are Liberals and yet the bill passed twice unanimously.
In previous studies of the Citizenship Act a number of proposed citizenship amendments failed: Bill C-63, Bill C-16 and Bill C-18. We heard testimony continually on those three bills and the feeling in committee in all cases was that this issue should be addressed.
I can give a fairly simple example to show how ridiculous the bill was. We have persons who were born in Canada between 1945 and 1977. If they were a minor and their father took out citizenship in another country these people automatically lost their citizenship.
I came to Canada in 1957. My wife had our daughter in 1986. Given the year my daughter was born, had I left the country after having become a Canadian citizen and gone elsewhere, let us say Hungary, she would be a Canadian citizen without having to have set one foot into Canada. Furthermore, my grandchild would also be a Canadian citizen.
Surely we can understand the frustrations of the lost Canadians. Surely we can understand their passion for wanting their citizenship back. Surely we can understand the feeling Canadians have that we want to right a wrong.
It was mentioned that Mr. Don Chapman put his case forward to the committee time and time again. He sought every opportunity to do that because he is very passionately a Canadian, never ceased to be a Canadian and still considers himself a Canadian. What we want to do is right that wrong. Charles Bosdet is in the same kind of situation of having his citizenship unjustly taken away from him and wanting it back.
However something good is on the horizon. The report that we tabled in the House was done at the request of the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. It was done so we could produce a new citizenship act that would get through the House of Commons. I commend the minister for asking for the committee's input. The committee was very strong on a number of issues but none stronger than on the issue of lost Canadians. The message is very clear. We want this fixed and we want to fix it quickly.
The minister has said that she will bring the bill back to us some time in February of next year and we as a committee look forward to making sure that the injustices that exist in the current act will be addressed.
I want to salute my colleague from West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast who I saw at the committee many times. Even though we are on different political parties, we are all on the same side of the issue when it comes to Canadian citizenship.

Human Rights
Statements By Members

David Kilgour Edmonton—Beaumont, AB
Mr. Speaker, all individuals have basic human rights. One of these rights is free speech.
Tenzin Delek, a Tibetan monk, spoke freely about what he believed in. He maintained that he only spoke out to promote non-violent and compassionate behaviour, yet he was charged by Chinese authorities in Sichuan for allegedly "causing explosions" and "inciting separation". He was given a closed trial in which he was denied due process, including inadequate representation. He was judged guilty before even going to trial.
As stated by Radio Free Asia, countries including the United States have called for "the need to provide clear and convincing evidence of guilt in all capital cases and noted widespread international concern over Tenzin Delek's case".
Canada, as a long term supporter of human rights and democracy, should urge the Chinese authorities to stop the execution of Tenzin Delek Rinpoche and to review his sentence. He and other political prisoners in China deserve a fair trial.
Louise Pargeter
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Diane Ablonczy Calgary Nose Hill, AB
Mr. Speaker, today I met with friends and family of Louise Pargeter. Louise, a parole officer in Yellowknife, was murdered on October 6, 2004. She was killed while conducting a home visit to a parolee whose release was far from justifiable.
Louise was a compassionate person whose actions were defined by an unconditional love of community. She was an extraordinary partner, mother and friend who touched many lives. I want to express my sincere condolences to her loved ones.
Parole officers are dependent on our system to protect them from risk and harm. Louise's tragic death raises serious concerns about how Correctional Service Canada conducts its operations. The system clearly did not do enough to provide a safe working environment for this parole officer.
I call on the government to make it a much higher priority to provide meaningful protection for dedicated officers like Louise Pargeter who work to safeguard society from convicted criminals.
Canada-U.S. Trade
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Raymond Simard Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, the visit of the President of the United States of America today gives us an opportunity to recall the vitality of our trade relations with our partners and neighbours to the south.
During the 1990s, Canadian exports to the United States more than tripled. They reached $359 billion in 2000, compared to $108 billion in 1989.
Canada's total exports amount to $400 billion a year; demand by our American partners accounts for nearly 85% of these exports.
Today, one in three jobs in Canada is directly related to exports to the U.S. market. That shows how intimately our economic health is linked to that of our neighbours and friends in the United States.
For decades, the mutual friendship between Canadians and Americans has been a guarantee of prosperity. Let us hope that this friendship, based on the democratic values of respect for rights and freedoms, continues for a long time.
Bell-Allard Mine

Yvon Lévesque Nunavik—Eeyou, QC
Mr. Speaker, following the closing of the Bell-Allard mine, the people of the town of Matagami showed remarkable solidarity and determination, when they marched on November 19.
The mine closing resulted in job losses for one-third of the workforce of this 2,000 inhabitant town. But the people of Matagami will not lose heart and will do what they have to maintain their quality of life.
The economic vitality of Matagami is greatly dependent on mining. The federal government must improve its flow-through share system to make it as generous as that provided by the Government of Quebec.
Such an improvement would stimulate mining exploration and contribute to shorter waiting times between the closing of one mine and the opening of another, which would be of great benefit to Matagami.
Hang on, Matagami.

Mr. Speaker, I recently had the opportunity to present the 200,000th computer to John McCrae Senior Public School in my constituency on behalf of the Ontario computers for schools program.
The Ontario computers for schools program, in which our government through Industry Canada participated, ensures that we become the most connected and indeed the smartest country in the world. The computers for schools program was co-founded in 1993 by Industry Canada and the private sector. Computers are donated by governments and businesses for refurbishment. These computers are then donated to schools and libraries across the country, helping our youth to become computer literate and preparing them for the future.
In addition, I am also proud to inform the House that this 200,000th computer was refurbished by Youth at Risk from Bendale Business & Technical Institute, which is also located in my riding of Scarborough Centre.
As we have moved from a resource based economy to a knowledge based economy, the computers for schools program represents a tremendous addition to the technology inventory of our education system by increasing computer access for students. Congratulations to our--

Mr. Speaker, I rise to honour a local hero of New Westminster, British Columbia. Chief Warrant Officer Fredrick Scott Stewart, C.D., served at Camp Drvar, Bosnia, with the 1st Princess Patricia's CanadianLight Infantry Battle Group from September 2002 to the end of March 2003.
Mr. Stewart was the liaison officer for the town of Bos Grahovo, and he said the natural countryside was beautiful. Many residents were very appreciative and would ask him why a Canadian would travel so far and put himself at risk. Mr. Stewart, who is now a New Westminster city police officer, answered with pride, "Because we are Canadians and it is what we do. We help our neighbours".
Mr. Stewart also commented on how well received Canadians were, but that there remain dangerous and evil elements too willing to kill for selfish purposes. In typical Canadian modesty, Mr. Stewart says that the real heroes were his wife and daughter who let him serve.
I wish to pay tribute to the thousands of Canadian heroes like Scott Stewart who risk it all for others for the benefit of mankind. We honour and remember them.

Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to recognize the strong relationship between Canada and the United States. Our unique bond is based, among others, upon our shared values of democracy and of human rights and freedoms. Our close relationship can also be exemplified through trade.
Trade and cooperation between Canada and the United States have produced tremendous benefits and economic prosperity for individuals on both sides of the border. Approximately $1.8 billion worth of goods and services cross the Canada-U.S. border every day. In 2003 alone, two way trade in goods and services surpassed $441.5 billion, making the Canada-U.S. trading relationship the largest in the world.
Canada's friendship with the United States has brought to both our countries great new wealth and prosperity. May this unique bond between our two nations continue to prosper in the years ahead.
Budget Surplus
Statements By Members
November 30th, 2004 / 2:05 p.m.
Paul Crête Rivière-Du-Loup—Montmagny, QC
Mr. Speaker, the federal government's obsession with applying the whole annual surplus toward debt servicing is having known undesirable effects, like making the poor poorer.
This obsession also has other serious economic implications. It is irresponsible to invest the whole amount in debt servicing when important sectors of our economy cannot afford to compete internationally anymore.
If part of the surplus went to government programs at least, we could go back on the offensive. The technology partnerships program needs to be replenished to ensure the development of new products and technologies that meet market needs.
The federal government needs an industrial strategy providing for the use of part of its annual surpluses. At stake is the future of our manufacturing companies and thousands of jobs that depend on them.
Welland Canal

John Maloney Welland, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise in the House today to recognize that November 30, 2004 marks the 175th anniversary of the Welland Canal, a world renowned waterway that runs through my riding. In Canada's earliest years, water transport of goods was essential in opening Canada's trade routes to the world. The Welland Canal was one of these routes from the heartland of the Great Lakes to foreign ports in far off lands.
The canal, originally built in 1829 to bypass Niagara Falls, has been refined to become a Canadian engineering feat, linking Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The canal today is 43 kilometres long and contains eight locks that lift or lower ships a total of 325 feet across the Niagara Escarpment. Since the canal's opening, it has witnessed over 100,000 ship transits and movement of billions of tonnes of cargo. It is an integral part of the St. Lawrence Seaway's network of waterways, which coincidentally celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. The Welland Canal has helped shape the geographic, cultural, and economic landscape of Niagara while bringing much growth in commerce for Canada.
I would like to congratulate all those connected with the Welland Canal, including all those who contributed to its construction and operation, and shipping companies and the crews of all the ships who transit this waterway in an environmentally friendly way.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the member of Parliament for Haldimand—Norfolk, it gives me great pleasure to rise in the House and honour John Evans Knowles, a former member of Parliament from Norfolk who is celebrating his 90th birthday today.
Mr. Evans Knowles was a teacher, a farmer and a former warden who represented the Norfolk riding from 1957 to 1962. It was a different era then and Evans joked that MPs who did not have much to say got the most accomplished.
Evans commuted by train weekly and although his schedule was strenuous, he believed the people he represented would be unhappy if he moved to Ottawa during his term of office. Evans recalls his maiden speech where he spoke with great pride about the riding of Norfolk. Through his efforts, the Canadian tobacco industry progressed and his induction into the tobacco wall of fame ranks as his major achievement as a member of Parliament for Norfolk.
On this day, please join me in wishing J. Evans Knowles a happy 90th birthday.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

RUSKIN- A family of hard-shelled fruits populates an artist's home, dressed to impress.
By ELIZABETH BETTENDORF Times Correspondent
Published May 4, 2007
Walking into Diane Piccola's colorful, art-filled house for the first time is like discovering a really good movie or book by accident:
The reason?
Piccola is a gourd artist with Hollywood special effects skills.
Her 2- and 3-foot art dolls are made from exotically named gourds and costumed in her hand-batiked and dyed clothes. Their intricately painted heads sprout jute hair or turbans or babushkas. They look to be waving their arms in the air, shaking tambourines and fluttering their scarves.
Piccola makes gourd jewelry, too, with miniature versions of her soulful dolls masquerading as pendants on silk cord.
Abstract and highly creative, the jewelry once caught the attention of a major woman's clothing chain, though she's never sold out to corporate interests.
"It's a spiritual thing, it just comforts me when I work on them, " says Piccola, who recently moved to Hillsborough County from Vista, Calif., and whose work has been featured on HGTV's Carol Duvall Show. Her work is also featured in the upcoming book The Making of Gourd Dolls and Spirit Figures, scheduled for release in July.
At her home and studio in the Riverside Club Golf and Boating Resort in Ruskin, she has transformed the front room into a warm and sophisticated art gallery. The 1, 800-square-foot, three bedroom, two-bath manufactured home looks out over a small lake and an 18-hole golf course.
"They call me G.G. - for golf and gourds, " jokes Piccola, an avid golfer along with her husband, Billy, a career musician and singer who performs regularly at one of the two community clubhouses.
The couple chose the development - 30 minutes from the heart of Brandon - "because it's full of baby boomers living out their second childhood, " Billy said with a laugh.
They were also attracted because of its relatively close proximity to Bradenton, where Piccola's daughter owns an Ace hardware store and popular gift shop. Affordability didn't hurt, either. Manufactured homes in the community, nestled in a harbor at the mouth of the Little Manatee River, start at $150, 000.
"I could buy three houses here for what I sold my home for in California, " Piccola says of her local taupe and white-trimmed cottage with crown molding, a large kitchen and a comfortable screened porch. "Except for the cost of groceries down here, the cost of living really is cheaper in Florida."
The couple bought the house in Riverside in 2006, after putting down a $5, 000 deposit and selling their townhouse in a golf-course community in California.
They promptly built an art studio next to the porch, a small, tightly organized space with room for Piccola's paints, brushes and beads, as well as electric tools for sanding and cleaning her gourds. She buys them from Gourdgeous Farm in Bradenton.
"I brought six wardrobe cases of gourds with me from California because I didn't know when I would find another farm, " she says, noting that she makes her dolls from 26 varieties of gourds, which have names like "cave man's club, " "Indonesian bottle" and "tobacco box."
Gourds dominate the Piccola home. Undecorated varieties are arranged into still-lifes on the front and back porches. Those that have been transformed into works of art fill the interior of the house.
Piccola decorated using rustic colors that evoke the landscape of the California desert, adorning the walls with original works by artists she has befriended along the way. Furnishings include a wormwood armoire and farm table from Mexico that she has blended with gem-toned sofas and a pair of ultra-modern leather recliners with matching ottomans. The contemporary lamps were made by her cousin, a professional lamp designer with work in the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.
Piccola's work was recognized in childhood - at age 12 her paintings and drawings were displayed at the Detroit Museum of Art. But she began making her gourds just seven years ago, shortly after retiring from a career in hotel sales and marketing.
"I've always been an artist, " she explains. "I feel like I was born with a paintbrush in my hands."
At 72, she looks 50, due in part to staying active as an avid golfer, a habit she picked up during her sales career at luxury resorts. "I had to learn, " she explains.
Today, making gourd dolls keeps her effusively happy. She feels a spiritual connection so deep, she says, that she sometimes has a hard time letting go of them.
Watch for her work at juried art shows this fall in the Tampa Bay area.
Right now she's working on a series of gourd dolls that will look like mermaids. She's also making gourd fish. Both are a tribute to her newfound life in Florida, a life she says is so much fun "that I had to keep myself in from golf this week so that I could keep up with my gourds."

Tonsillitis refers to inflammation of the tonsils as a result of infection, usually viral infection. The condition is most commonly seen among children, although adults may also be affected. In some susceptible children, tonsillitis may occur every time they have an upper respiratory tract infection.
This recurrent or chronic tonsillitis may significantly impact on the child's quality of life and cause problems such as absenteeism from school.
Some of the common symptoms of tonsillitis include:

Individuals with Alzheimer's disease or a related disorder become progressively impaired in their ability to drive. Symptoms such as memory loss, disorientation, and changes in visual and spatial perception may result in an individual's getting lost, forgetting the "rules of the road," or having slowed reaction times. While a person with early dementia may not appear to have these problems, the disease may eventually affect his or her motor coordination, judgment and concentration. Furthermore, at all phases of impairment, driving ability is likely to worsen during times of high stress.
It is not uncommon for individuals with dementia and their families to have differing opinions on the individual's driving ability. However, while respecting the individual's desire to drive, family members must put safety first. When it is clear that a person cannot drive safely, family members should not hesitate to act accordingly. Resisting the loss of independence, some people with dementia may insist on continuing to drive even when their licenses are revoked. This would have obvious legal implications for the individual and family in the unfortunate event of an accident. As a last resort, caregivers and family members may need to prevent access to the vehicle. For example, the car may need to be "disabled" or moved to an unknown location, or the keys may need to be taken away or hidden. A letter from the attending physician recommending against continued driving may also be shown to the individual.
Some persons with dementia are aware of having difficulty with driving and are relieved when others encourage them to stop. However, the loss of driving privileges is likely to be upsetting.
Caregivers and family members should be respectful and open with the individual. The loss of independence associated with driving can make a person feel vulnerable, and he or she may be reluctant to discuss discontinuing the use of a motor vehicle.
Asking physicians, care managers, and other health professionals to bring up the subject of driving in their discussions with the individual can help to initiate a dialogue. Support groups also provide a good place for both caregivers and individuals with dementia to voice their concerns and receive advice from others in a similar situation. State regulations provide specific guidelines to determine driving capabilities.
California's Health & Safety Code [Section 103900] requires physicians to submit a confidential report to the county health department when an individual is diagnosed as having Alzheimer's disease or related disorders, including dementia, severe enough to impair a person's ability to operate a motor vehicle. This information is forwarded to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), which is authorized to take action against the driving privileges of any indi-vidual who is unable to safely operate a motor vehicle. If the physician's report indicates that an individual has moderate or severe dementia, that individual will no longer be permitted to operate a motor vehicle. DMV has determined that only drivers with dementia in the mild stages may still have the cognitive functions necessary to continue driving safely. DMV requires re-examination for all individuals reported to have mild dementia.
The California DMV follows specific procedures when a medical report is received:
In lieu of a physician's report, a family member may submit a written referral to the Regional Driver Safety Office, requesting that DMV re-examine the driving ability of an individual with dementia. DMV has the authority to re-examine drivers who have been reported to be unsafe, and, alternatively, to take immediate action if the driver appears to be an immediate safety risk.
As of January 2001, Senate Bill 335 (SB 335) specifically requires DMV to conduct a re-examination, including a behind-the-wheel driving test, upon receipt of notification from the driver's spouse or a family member within "three degrees of consanguinity" (no more than a third generation of blood relationship). The person must submit the report in writing and may not report the same family member more than one time during a twelve-month period. The family member completing the report is not required to report their name but must identify their relationship. The report must be based upon personal observation; evidence of a physical or medical condition that may impair safe driving; or upon personal knowledge of traffic citations or other evidence indicating unsafe driving. The report must be filed in good faith and with reasonable knowledge that the driver cannot safely operate a motor vehicle. SB 335 does not preclude other family members (outside three degrees of consanguinity) from referring a driver. However, other family members must sign the referral. DMV will not act upon anonymous referrals other than those authorized by SB 335. If confidentiality is requested, DMV will honor this request to the extent possible under the law. All referrals should also include the full name of the driver, his or her license number (if known), date of birth, and current address. DMV is required to give ten days written notice of the time and place for re-examination. If the driver refuses the re-examination or fails to complete the re-examination, DMV is required to suspend or revoke all driving privileges until re-examination is completed. If it appears that the driver presents an immediate safety risk, DMV could take immediate action in lieu of re-examination.
DMV has separate requirements and guidelines for drivers with other cognitive disorders (e.g., stroke, head injury, epilepsy). For further information regarding driving regulations, dementia and cog-nitive impairments, call your local DMV for the number of your Regional Driver Safety Office, or contact the Post-Licensing Policy Unit in Sacramento's DMV: (916) 657-5691. Laws pertaining to driving and dementia are subject
to change.
To ease the adjustment, it will be important to make other transportation arrangements so that the in-dividual's mobility and activity level are not unduly restricted. Family members, friends, and neighbors can offer to drive the individual to social engage-ments and appointments. If dementia is mild, the individual may be able to use public transportation or taxis. Caregivers can reduce the need to drive by having groceries, meals, and prescription medicines delivered.
It is important for the person with dementia to maintain interaction with friends and family. Caregivers can invite friends and family over for regular visits and, if possible, arrange social outings for the individual with dementia. Caregivers and family members should keep in mind the indi-vidual's personality in discussing and devising a plan to limit or discontinue the individual's driving. It is not unusual to encounter great resistance to any limitations on driving. But safety must be the pri-mary concern. When possible, the individual with dementia should be included in planning alternative means of transportation. Caregivers can enlist the support of family, friends, and professionals when making and implementing difficult decisions about driving.

Corruption undermines human development and democracy. It reduces access to public services by diverting public resources for private gain.
The real costs of corruption were highlighted by the UN Secretary-General in his 2009 statement for the International Anti-Corruption Day:
"When public money is stolen for private gain, it means fewer resources to build schools, hospitals, roads and water treatment facilities. When foreign aid is diverted into private bank accounts, major infrastructure projects come to a halt. Corruption enables fake or substandard medicines to be dumped on the market, and hazardous waste to be dumped in landfill sites and in oceans. The vulnerable suffer first and worst."
Corruption hinders economic development by distorting markets and damaging private sector integrity. Some facts and figures on corruption are:
- $1,000 billion are paid in bribes per year (source:The World Bank Institute)
- Corruption can cost a country up to 17 Percent of its GDP (source: Asian Development Bank)
- US$1.8 trillion is the volume of illicit financial flows from Africa between 1970 and 2008: (source: Global Financial Integrity, 2010)
Corruption also strikes at the heart of democracy by corroding rule of law, democratic institutions and public trust in leaders. For the poor, women and minorities, corruption means even less access to jobs, justice or any fair and equal opportunity.
To combat this global menace of corruption, the UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) was adopted by the UN General Assembly through Resolution 58/4 in 2003 and entered into force in December 2005. UNCAC is the first legally binding instrument against corruption.
It presents a comprehensive set of standards, measures and rules that all state parties to the convention should apply to strengthen their legal and regulatory regimes to fight corruption. At present, UNCAC has 158 State Parties (as of 9th December 2011).
UNDP, through the Global Programme on Anti-Corruption for Development Effectiveness (PACDE), regional and country-level programmes, is a major provider of anti-corruption technical support to approximately 103 countries.
It is also a global knowledge leader on anti-corruption. UNDP provides advisory services to programming countries; engages in advocacy and global awareness raising on anti-corruption; builds synergies with the initiatives of relevant partners; synchronizes global and regional activities with emerging demands from the countries involved; and develops knowledge products on anti-corruption to assist anti-corruption programming at the country level.
UNDP has strong partnerships with other organizations working on anti-corruption such as the UN Office of Drugs and Crime, Tiri, GTZ, the Basel Institute on Governance, and the Institute of Governance Studies, Bangladesh.
In addition, UNDP also addresses the costs of corruption to development by developing pro-poor policies, supporting increased public participation in decision-making, and monitoring of budgets, public services and infrastructure development by mainstreaming anti-corruption in its current work and other development processes.

Topic: Multiple child models in a dynamic form
update July 14, 2009: If you want to validate your child models using "validates_presence_of :parent" this won't work for new records in vanilla Rails 2.3.3, since the parent hasn't been created yet at the time of saving the children. You can circumvent this with the following plugin: http://github.com/h-lame/parental_control/tree/master
disclaimer: This tutorial builds on earlier tutorials by Ryan Bates and others found on this forum and around the net. If you see some stuff of yours in here and want to be credited you'll have to let me know!
also: This is the first tutorial I've written. I'm going to try to be as inclusive as possible and take everything very slowly but there's no guarantee of.. well anything If you spot any mistakes or a cleaner/better way to handle any part please post a reply for everyone's benefit. So that out of the way let's get started!
# app/views/layouts/application.html.erb (or your own layout file)
<title>My projects</title>
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
# ... etc
In Rails 2.3 the multi-model form helpers such as fields_for have become a lot more powerful, so let's see how we can use them to make Ryan's already excellent tutorials even cleaner!
First let's generate some models to work with. We'll go with the old example of a Project that has_many Tasks. We'll give the Project a title and a due_date and each task a name.
script/generate scaffold project title:string due_date:datetime
script/generate model task name:string project_id:integer
rake db:migrate
Right that's our database sorted, let's have a look at our models. First we set up the relationships
# app/models/project.rb
class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :tasks, :dependent => :destroy
# This is new!
accepts_nested_attributes_for :tasks, :allow_destroy => true
# app/models/task.rb
class Task < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :project
Easy enough. The scaffold generator has already set up the basic views do we can go straight to adding tasks to the project form. First let's split the form from new.html.erb into a partial, which we'll put in /app/views/projects/_form.html.haml and let's add the child tasks as well:
# Our edited new.html.erb

New project

<% form_for(@project) do |f| %>
<%= render :partial => 'form', :object => f -%>
<% end %>
# And _form.html.erb
<%= form.error_messages %>
<%= form.label :title %>

<%= form.text_field :title %>
<%= form.label :due_date %>

<%= form.datetime_select :due_date %>

<% form.fields_for :tasks do |task_form| -%>
<%= render :partial => 'task', :locals => { :form => task_form } %>
<% end -%>
<%= form.submit 'Save' %>
As you can see fields_for is now a method called on the Project's form builder object. Because we defined :tasks as being a nested model in the Projects model above fields_for will render its block once for every child Task found in our Project.
Of course we still need to add the Task partial, for now let's keep it simple:

<%= form.label :name %>
<%= form.text_field :name, :size => 15 %>
So with all the views sorted let's set up our new action to pre-populate our project with 2 empty tasks:
# app/controllers/projects_controller.rb
def new
@project = Project.new
2.times { @project.tasks.build }
Now you're ready for the first test. Start mongrel (or whatever server you're using) and navigate to /projects/new. You should see the Project form as well as 2 Task entries at the bottom.
In fact the form is already operational! The addition of "accepts_nested_attributes" in the project model handles all the rough details of converting the Tasks attributes and checking whether they are new or existing records. Amazing! And if you change your edit.html.erb to use the partial like new.html.erb you'll be able to edit project and tasks as well.
Of course we're stuck with 2 tasks now, so let's start making the form dynamic by adding an "add task" link.
I prefer to keep these in a helper, so go ahead and open app/helpers/projects.rb and add the following method (be careful this won't work properly yet!):
module ProjectsHelper
def add_task_link(form_builder)
link_to_function 'add a task' do |page|
form_builder.fields_for :tasks, Task.new do |f|
page.insert_html :bottom, :tasks, :partial => 'task', :locals => { :form => f }
Here comes the tricky part! Adding a single extra record works perfectly but when we add a second it breaks. Why is this? Let's take a look at the rendered html, before we add new tasks:

<input id="project_tasks_attributes_0_id" name="project[tasks_attributes][0][id]" type="hidden" value="1" />

Name
<input id="project_tasks_attributes_0_name" name="project[tasks_attributes][0][name]" size="15" type="text" value="task 1" />
<input id="project_tasks_attributes_1_id" name="project[tasks_attributes][1][id]" type="hidden" value="2" />

Name
<input id="project_tasks_attributes_1_name" name="project[tasks_attributes][1][name]" size="15" type="text" value="task 2" />
On closer inspection it looks like fields_for gives every task a serial number by the form helper. Our first record has number 0, the next one number 1, and so on. Because the add_task_link helper we created renders the partial when the page is generated it uses the next available index (2 in our case) for each subsequent time we click on "new task". So when you click it twice both new tasks end up with index 2, this obviously won't fly.
Unfortunately there's no standard Rails way of dealing with this (as far as I'm aware at least), so we'll have to rig something up to make the ids unique. Javascript is our only option because this has to happen client-side.
First we'll add the :child_index option to fields_for, this will let us set the generated index to a string of our choosing. Then we'll use javascript to give it a more or less random id, based on the current date.
Because we have to modify the html as it's inserted into the #tasks div, we'll have to jury rig the content to insert. Sadly that means we can't use the page.insert_html helper rails provides any more.
module ProjectsHelper
def add_task_link(form_builder)
link_to_function 'add a task' do |page|
form_builder.fields_for :tasks, Task.new, :child_index => 'NEW_RECORD' do |f|
html = render(:partial => 'task', :locals => { :form => f })
page << "$('tasks').insert({ bottom: '#{escape_javascript(html)}'.replace(/NEW_RECORD/g, new Date().getTime()) });"
Quite a mouthful but actually not that complicated when we look at it closely. All we're doing is inserting the new form fields at the bottom of the #tasks div and replacing all strings "NEW_RECORD" with a unique number, the number of miliseconds since epoch. This ensures we won't accidentally make two records with the same id unless somsone manages to add two tasks in less than a milisecond
Now we simply add the new add_task_link to the form view, under the tasks div:
# app/views/projects/_form.html.erb

<% form.fields_for :tasks do |task_form| -%>
<%= render :partial => 'task', :locals => { :form => task_form } %>
<% end -%>
<%= add_task_link(form) %>
Hard to believe but that's the most difficult part done! We can now add new projects with an unlimited number of tasks. We can even edit existing projects and add tasks with impunity!
In all the excitement we could be forgiven for overlooking the final step but we can not delete tasks yet! Thankfully here again fields_for and accept_nested_attributes make our life much easier. Lets add another helper method to the projects_helper:
# Display the remove link for a child form
def remove_task_link(form_builder)
if form_builder.object.new_record?
# If the task is a new record, we can just remove the div from the dom
link_to_function("remove", "$(this).up('.task').remove();");
# However if it's a "real" record it has to be deleted from the database,
# for this reason the new fields_for, accept_nested_attributes helpers give us _delete,
# a virtual attribute that tells rails to delete the child record.
form_builder.hidden_field(:_delete) +
link_to_function("remove", "$(this).up('.task').hide(); $(this).previous().value = '1'")
As you can see all we're doing is either dropping the new div if the Task is a new record. If the Task is already saved to the database all we have to do is add a hidden "_delete" field which indicates the task is to be dropped. To make our view a little prettier we make the _delete field invisible and set it through javascript. If you prefer less javascript you could also use a simple check_box.
The only thing remaining is to add the delete link to the view:
# app/views/projects/_task.html.erb

<%= form.label :name %>
<%= form.text_field :name, :size => 15 %>
<%= remove_task_link( form ) %>
And that's all! You now have a complex, javascript driven, form that will let you save a project with any number of child tasks all in one go.
Once the tasks are added you can show them in your show view the same way you would with any related objects. Here's a quick example (thanks for reminding me to add this tallp )
# app/views/projects/show.html.erb
<% for task in @project.tasks %>
<%=h task.name %>
<% end %>
I've seen many questions about forms with child objects two levels deep (maybe a Task has_many Contributors) but this is far more complicated. As you saw in the rendered html above, adding a task to a project is as simple as making the field names "project[task_attributes][0][name]". A contributor's fields would look like this: "project[task_attributes][0][contributor_attributes[0][name]".
This doesn't look too complicated until you start adding tasks and contributors by javascript. Not only do you have the trivial task of making a random id for your contributor but you have to somehow determine from the DOM the parent task's id. Currently I have no good ideas on how to do this without terribly ugly hacky code.

* Multiple child models in a dynamic form

Apple, a maker of consumer electronics and personal computers, may be interested in taking over ARM Holdings, a leading designer of low-power microprocessor technologies, according to rumours floating over London Stock Exchange. Both companies, however, deny that such talks exist.
"A deal would make a lot of sense for Apple. That way, they could stop ARM's technology from ending up in everyone else's computers and gadgets," one trader said in an interview with London Evening Standard news-paper.
After the rumours emerged at LSE, the price per share started to increase rapidly and traders valued ARM at more than £5.2 billion (around $8 billion). The current market capitalization of ARM is £3.28 billion (around $5.05 billion). Apple has $24.8 billion in cash.
ARM powers the absolute majority – circa 98% – of mobile phones and acquisition of ARM by Apple would be dramatic for the industry. While Apple is known for supporting open standards in terms of interconnections or software, Apple is not known for sharing its proprietary technologies, which means that after potential acquisition of ARM its technologies would have become the sole property of Apple. Moreover, Apple is more than interested in proprietary system-on-chip designs and micro-architectural enhancements. Grabbing ARM, virtually the only designer of low-power microprocessor technologies, will let Apple to gain a lead over its rivals on the market of mobile phones, something that will immediately solve virtually all legal problems with companies like Nokia.
The potentially acquisition of ARM by Apple, however, might allow companies like Intel Corp. to establish positions on the market of handheld devices, particularly smartphones, with their x86-based system-on-chip products.
The head of ARM denied any talks regarding possible takeover by Apple, claiming that it would be much cheaper to license ARM's technologies than to acquire the whole company.
"Exciting though it is to have the share price pushed up by these rumours, common sense tells us that our standard business model is an excellent way for technology companies to gain access to our technology. Nobody has to buy the company," said Warren East, chief executive officer of ARM, in a brief interview with the Guardian.

In short: Very fast courseIn full: My partner and I both ran huge pbs, so came home feeling that we'd got our money's worth. However, there's definite room for organisational improvements, particularly around safety. Much of the course is on roads open to traffic, and there was a definite lack of signage to inform drivers that a race was in progress. And more marshals would have been helpful in places, particularly on the busy main road coming back into town. More minor complaints: no water, only squash at the finish (despite an over-abundance of water stations on the course!) and no announcement that the presentations were taking place, so we missed them. A little bit of ironing out and this could be a great race.Date of review: October 7, 2008
In short: Not too bad, marshalls encouraging but spoiled by my poor formIn full: Suffered a little on this one due to illness recently so a little disappointed. Would have liked to see a profile of the course beforehand but apart from the last three miles a quick, though uninspiring course. My son ran the fun run but they ran out of t-shirts before he finished so more than a little disappointed with that. Might do it again but only as a last resort.Date of review: October 6, 2008
In full: Largely flat, pretty race with a rather lengthy shallow hill at the end, just when you are looking forward to finishing. It could break the average beginner but well worth gritting your teeth.Date of review: October 6, 2008
In short: Nice local race, good atmosphere, not too challengingIn full: This was only my second race, so I am not an expert. Anyway, I did enjoy the event, the atmosphere was nice and friendly and everyone seemed to have a good time. The organisation was OK, although some things could be easily improved. For example, the portaloos were placed about 1/4 mile from the start line: this means that the last chance to go without risking to miss the start is about 20 - 30 minutes beforehand (there are always queues). I found the course not too challenging, flat as promised, and with good opportunities for speed. The surrounding was very rural, quite enjoyable. There were a sufficient amount of marshalls, all quite friendly and helpful (despite the rain), and a good mile marking system.We did meet a few oncoming cars and a couple of horses along the way, but they always gave way and altogether I didn't find the traffic too disturbing.I liked the medal at the end, and I did a better time than my previous race, so I was well pleased.Date of review: October 6, 2008
In short: Great race, could do with a clear route to the finishIn full: I enjoyed this race a lot more than I'd expected when I saw the weather forecast! The marshals were very friendly all the way round and the only problem I had was crossing the road into the leisure centre at the end - could have done with someone stopping cars to give runners priority. Runners coming in towards the end of the race seemed to be struggling against the flow of people leaving as well - not an ideal finish!Date of review: October 6, 2008
In short: Race was fine ... pity about me ...In full: I've done this several times, but this time round I failed to prepare properly (because of illnes, injury and holiday). But I gave it a go, anyway ... and promptly blew up at 7 miles! So, I didn't really enjoy the day that much, but I can't blame the organisers for that! From my perspective, it all seemed to go off smoothly. Thanks to all the marshalls who took time to stand in the rain and encourage us as well as directing us. And thanks to the organisers for putting on another efficient event.Date of review: October 6, 2008
In short: Got a PB, so that was good. Not very friendly.In full: I run at 11 minute miles, obviously I came in close to the end, the lack of support from other runners and marshalls was positivly depressing. I finished and felt completely deflated. When I run I always say hi or smile to other runners and always wait at the end to support the last finishers. This race was definatly for the top notch runners, slow runners not welcome. I went to collect my bag from secure storgae, only nobody there, not so secure. A couple of times I had to ask the marshalls the way as they failed to point the direction. On the roads, the cars were pretty fast on the way back and a couple of times I had to nose dive into the verge so I didn't get flattened. I have learnt my lesson and will stick to charity runs until I can beak the 7 minute mile mark.Date of review: October 6, 2008

Salvatore Estate
this wiki
Salvatore Estate was a place where Stefan, Damon, Giuseppe Salvatore had lived 50 years before the Salvatore Boarding House was built. Katerina Petrova, the vampire that turned and created the bloodline of Stefan and Damon came here to live in 1864 with her handmaid Emily Bennett, being a powerful witch. The Salvatore Estate was destroyed after or during the Battle of Willow Creek.
Stefan tells Elena how he and Damon were both born and grew up there.
In the present day there are only ruins left located somewhere in the woods. Stefan hides Damon's ring here, after he had locked him in the Salvatore Boarding House basement. After Elena Gilbert discovered Stefan is a vampire, he took her to the ruins, explaining that, these ruins weren't just plain old ruins they had been his home sometime in 1864 by telling her that "This used to be my home".
In Stefan's Diaries: Origins, Stefan writes that his family home is named Veritas Estate.
- The set used for the Salvatore Estate is the same used for the Mikaelson Mansion in The Originals.
- In 1903 the house was still standing.

- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 8 ounces button mushrooms
- 2 small onions, quartered
- Gravy:
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 cup low-sodium beef stock
- 2 tablespoons gravy flour (recommended: Wondra)
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Season the beef with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat 2 tablespoons the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add the meat and sear on all sides.
Add the mushrooms and onions to a bowl and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss. Add to the skillet around the roast.

Olowolafe subbed into the match during the second set and started the third set along with Johnson, replacing Benson and Gibbemeyer. Cami Croteau (Orange, Calif.) was a back-row sub in all three sets.

To make sense of her world and to find a way to trudge along with a smile, Sarah Lee Jefferson had to reject her father's last words.
"My dad didn't leave a note," she said. "He just called my mom and left a message, saying, 'It is what it is.' "
No, Jefferson still thinks every time she hears the phrase. It is what you make it.
That view fuels the Ohio State University student's efforts to help understand and prevent suicide. Jefferson, 26, is the founder and chairwoman of the new central Ohio chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Until she took on the project, the national organization, which joins others this week to mark National Suicide Prevention Week, didn't have a presence in the area.
"People think it's all about pamphlets," Jefferson said. "We just had a family who had a loss, and we went and delivered food to them. We do what's needed."
Lisa Brattain, the foundation's Ohio- and Indiana-area director, expects the new chapter to be busy. Many people affected by suicide discover that they don't want to be alone in their pain.
"The sitting with it, and the coulda-shoulda-
wouldas, can get ugly real fast," said Brattain, whose son took his life in 2006. "This is my way of being able to go after the illness that went after my child."
Chapter members work to raise awareness, dispel myths and educate people about the complex mental-health issues that lead to suicide. About 38,000 people die by suicide each year, making it the nation's 10th most common cause of death.
People ages 45 to 64 years old — not teens — have the highest rates of suicide, according federal statistics. Men are far more likely than women to die by suicide, and whites have higher rates than other races.
In some ways, Jefferson said, her dad was typical.
Mark Lee Jefferson owned a successful car dealership in the Richmond, Va., area. He was a past grand master of the Masons, supported other charities and didn't want his daughter to be spoiled.
"We were wealthy, and I was lucky to grow up the way I did," Sarah Jefferson said. "He used to say that if I wanted those American Girl dolls, I had to work for 'em."
But when his business fell apart, Mr. Jefferson couldn't cope. "He couldn't bring himself to go work for anyone else," she said. "It was pride more than anything. He had lost his company, and that's when he couldn't get off the couch."
Mr. Jefferson struggled to even talk about his depression. He fled to Mexico, where he took his life in a hotel room on Sept. 5, 2006, at age 49. His family learned of his death two days later.
"It's called a flashbulb memory. I can tell you every single thing about that day," his daughter said, wiping tears.
Most of the people who volunteer with the foundation are survivors, having lost a loved one to suicide or wrestled with it themselves. Sarah Jefferson said the new chapter will work to send the right help to those in need.
"We dispatch ourselves," she said. "We can tell you what maybe a psychologist can't: This sucks."
The first public event for the new central Ohio chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is the Out of the Darkness Community Walk on Oct. 13 at Fred Beekman Park.

Topic: Help after creating a App with cPanel
(When I first posted this only the first line showed up, so I am ttrying again.)
I used cPanel on my webhost and created a nice allplication that goes
"Welcome to Ruby on Rails!"
There is link to some "more info" and a couple of script suggestions, such as 'script/configure'.
The Info link results in a 404, and appending 'script/configure' to my Ruby App URL results in a blank screen (as does 'script/about').
It was my understaning that a RoR App will "just work" and let one start right away to develop a wesite.
I guess I mis-understood.
After reading, http://guides.rubyonrails.org/v2.3.11/g rted.html, it looks as though the actual "development" of a Rail application requires a shell connection to the webhost and you run Gem/Rails commands there. I will probably have to write .rb code an upload it to the server as well?
Am I wrong? 'Cause this is just not an easy way to develop an application.
