The Demon Apprentice- A House Guest UnwelcomedMature
The Demon Apprentice: A House Guest Welcomed- To a Point
Chapter 1
The day stared as everyday. A hard time waking up. Taking care of the dogs, Bailey, a black lab, Chloe, a fox terrier mix and Sunny, a schnoodle, and getting to school before the 5 minute bell rings. A boring day at school, like normal. I had Spanish first with Miss Poeger; she is a pretty cool teacher. She jokes around and is one of those teachers that catch the dirty stuff before the kids and laugh. She's considered the hot teacher of the school. She has Blondish-brown hair and brown eyes. She has an average height and weight, but she never gets hit on because she is a tough woman. Then I had English with Mrs. Doxman. She is an O.K. teacher. She has her fun moments, then the 'I'm teaching let's get to work' moments. She has light brown hair and is always smiling. After I had a study hall, where we have to sit and be quiet. Mrs. King watches us. She's really strict some days. She just got divorced with her ex husband and gets really mean on random days. So we learn to just leave her be when we can. Then was lunch, were I had fun with all of my friends. My friends are the weird kind. They are the funny ones but are made fun of a lot. O.K., so am I, but not as much. I have some other 'acquaintances' that make sure of that. We talk about the weirdest things and the geekiest ones too. After lunch I finish the day with science with Mr. Thomason. He gives us slack. He understands that we are the last class of the day and we just want to get out of there. He normally lets us talk at the end so we behave. My best friend Nate is in there. He is really tall, standing up to 6' 1". Then I normally walk home and do my chores.
My house is a fairly big one. We have five bathrooms, an office, a playroom, three bedrooms and a finished basement, which acts as my bedroom. We have a fenced in back yard and a large front yard. After cleaning up, I sit down and watch my favorite show, House, till my step dad, Doug, comes home. Now he is a big guy. He weighs around 285 lbs and he stands at 6'. He always has his hair cut short.
Now he can be unpredictable sometimes depending on his day at work. If it was a hard day he comes home mad, if not has nice. Now when the day went smoothly and was relaxing, he's at his best. Today he came home and was in a mild mood. He talked to my mom in her office, who works at home as a transcriptionist. My mom is always working. She never stops to just relax. She normally sits down when she is with my sister. Now my mom normally has a shade of red as her hair. Right now it's Irish red. My mom sounded happy after a few minutes in the conversation. They soon walked out together and sat around me. My step dad turns off the T.V. and turns toward me.
"Now, John, you may be uncomfortable about this news but I and your mom have decided it's for the best," Doug said.
"It will give us more money to use to our disposal." my mom says with a slight of guilt in her voice.
"We have rented out the spare room upstairs."
"What!"I screamed.
"Now calm down," Doug says moving his hands in a downward direction." She won't be here till tomorrow."
"She?!?" I look at my mom dumbfounded.
"Yeah I thought that would worry you the most." He says.
"Worry! A strange woman is going to live in our house! There will be almost no privacy!" I say putting emphasis on "privacy."
"You live in the basement. What do you care?"
"All of it!" I say finally calming down a bit." First off unless she is having her own refrigerator up there and keep her food then how are we going to keep that straight?"
"Well you'll have to work on that, alright."
"Fine. What about ......." I pause trying to think of something else.
"You have nothing else to worry about do you?"
"Alright you got me there. So what?"
"It means that you will get used to her being around trust me." That was a statement I never wanted to become true.
The next day at school I told all my friends during lunch what my parents did.
"What? That's absurd. How can they do that?" Nate says.
"Is she hot?" Sean says.
"I agree with you Nate and I haven't seen her yet so don't ask that....ever."
"Aw come on. At least get me a picture."
"Fine if it will make you leave me alone then O.K." I finished my lunch and went to class.
Today's subject in science was on atoms. I start to randomly draw pictures on my notes as he drones on about how the atom works. I start to wonder what Jennifer would look like and what she would be like. Right then the bell rang. I went to my locker and goofed around with my friends and walked home. As soon as I was in sight of my house, I saw a strange car in our drive way. It had a few essentials in it but not much. A surprisingly hot, tall, slightly built, 20-year-old woman with brown hair and eyes walks out of the house and gets some more stuff. I see that she is having some trouble with a dresser so I go and help her.
"Here let me help."
"Oh thank you. You must be John. I'm Jenifer."
"Nice to meet you," We take the dresser up to the spare room. "Anything else you need help with."
"Well I got a lot of books if you want to carry those."
"Oh really? What kind of books?" To most people, I'm a book fanatic. Everywhere I go I have a book with at least 100 pages.
"Oh some on magic but mostly demons."
"Oh wow my favorite subjects. So of course they are fiction so what's the story line to your favorite one." I said to her as we walk back outside.
"Fiction? What do you mean? It's all real." At that I get my second conclusion on her. First she was alright, now she was crazy.
"Oh ok. Well is it good?" I thought to keep this conversation short so we don't get on the wrong side of each other to quickly.
"Yeah. It has a description of every demon known to man."
"Cool." The book must not exist then since mankind doesn't know any. That's where I ended the conversation. I took the crate up to her room and placed it on her bed. I caught a glimpse of the titles of some of the books and they were weird. They said 'The World of Magic and You', 'How to Use the Magic in you', 'How to Kill a Demon', 'The Type of Demons and Their Weaknesses'. "Well anything else you need help with?' I ask her.
She comes in carrying four draws filled with cloths and sets them down." Nope that is it. Thanks a lot."
"No problem." I walk down the stairs wondering how she carried up all of those drawers by herself since they must be really heavy. I then start my chores. Afterwards I go to my room in the basement and play my Xbox 360. I am a gamer fanatic. I play a lot of games.
The next day I wake up, remember its Thursday and become depressed because I have a few more days of school for the week. I get dressed and wait for Doug to get dressed and take me to school as he goes to work. I enter the school doors and find my friends in the band room. This is where my friends and I have the most fun in school. If a teacher saw what we did in there we would be in so much trouble. There is no telling what we would do in there. It was, in the simplest term, fun chaos.
"John!" Sean yells and almost tackles me but I sidestep and he runs into the locker behind me. I start to laugh.
"Hi to you too." I say, chuckling.
"So how was your first night for the intruder?" Nate says. Now Nate is the tallest of us all. He has dirty blond hair. He does nothing but play video games.
"Oh she was ok. I, on the other hand, was hiding the whole night. She thinks demons are real. Can you believe that?"
"Wait what?"
"Demons?" Mike asks. He is the more relaxed type. He is the one that stands to the side, comments on a few things and has fun.
"Yeah demons. She has a ton of books on them but I never really read them. I may look at them to see how serious it is, but other than that she's just crazy."
"Yeah I would say." Sean says lightly punching my arm. "So is she hot?"
"You know what Sean, why don't you come over sometime and see for yourself, because I'm not answering that." I say, glaring at Sean. The bell rings and we scramble for our stuff and go to class.
I get to Miss Poeger's class and I sit down. As I sit down, Ashley walks over to talk. She's a small little thing, but cute. That's why everyone calls her Tink, after Tinker Bell. She stands up to be 5' 2", and have blonde hair, almost white sometimes. She's normally pale to the touch.
"Hey John, what's up?"
"A lot. My parents had a stranger come rent out a room in our house. She believes in demons."
"Umm, ok? That's weird. She tell you this herself? Or did you just pick that up?"
"She pretty much told me herself. She has fiction books on them."
"Wow. Did she move in?"
"Yeah, yesterday. I had to help her move in."
Miss Poeger starts to write the morning exercise on the board. Tink and I watch her for a bit then Ashley starts again. "So did you get to know her?
I look at her in disbelieve. "Do you think I'm that kind of person? You should know me by now. I probably won't talk to her for weeks."
Tink giggles a bit. "True. You are the shy type. But aren't we all?" The bell rings and she goes back across the room to her seat as I get my notes and pencil out. I start doing the exercise as Miss Poeger begins to talk.
I go through the class that day thinking nothing about Spanish one bit. I think about what I books I saw in Jen's collection. I decide that I should ask her tomorrow night if I can borrow one, and if she doesn't let me I will just sneak one for a night or two.
The bell rings and I gather my stuff and head to English with Mrs. Doxman. She starts the day like normal. She jokes around starts a random conversation with the whole class then we go and read something that she chooses. I am one of the first three to finish and we sit back. I grab my own book that I've been reading for a week now and listen to my IPod till the class ends. I stop by my locker that I share with my friend Nate and he begins the "day's discussion" with a question directed to me.
"So what do you think about 'demons'? Are they real? Or do they belong in a fairy tale?"
I stare at him then smile. "If demons were in fair tales then I don't think it would be that happy of a story. Don't you think?"
"You know what I mean, dipshit!" He says laughing
"To be honest, I really don't know yet. I mean no one has proven them to be 'unreal', and no one has proven them to be real, at the same time."
"That's a good point. In my opinion, I think they are just stories made up to scare children. I mean, if they were real then our lives would be a lot more difficult, don't you think? I mean, wouldn't they wreak havoc almost everyday, correct? We wouldn't be here if demons were real."
I gather my stuff, "Your right. The school would be shut down by know and we would be carrying around guns to protect us from them, if we even had a chance." I start walking to my next class as he follows.
"We wouldn't even be here alive if they were real." He turns down a hallway waving.
I think about what he said. Would we be alive? I mean we advanced so much. But that's also because nothing we threatening to destroy our existence. If they were real then we would most likely of never made TV's, or computers. We would be trying to make new ways to protect ourselves from the danger. I get to the room and sit in my seat setting my books off to the side. I get my book and my IPod out and start to read while I listen to my music. When the bell rings I head to lunch. I grab my drink and a French bread pizza and head to my table. A few people look at me, look away when I meet their eyes, then they look back at me when I pass them. I don't know why but guys here hate me, and girls love me. I sit down and my friends are already discussing something else so I just put in my ear buds and listen to music till lunch is over. I head back to study hall and begin reading again. The final bell for that period rings and I head off to Mr. Thomason's class. I get there before Nate so I try to think of what he said before we parted. He then comes in as I remember what he said.
"You know, I have to disagree with you. I think we would live if they were real. I mean look at what we advanced to with out them. I think we could make weapons easily to kill them."
"True, though it wouldn't be as advanced as they would be now because we would be busy trying to defend ourselves." Nate says nodding.
Mr. Thomason walks in the room and hears what we talking about. "So, what's today's topic for you two?" He says knowing that all day Nate and I have one topic, and we discuss it every chance we get.
I turn to him. "We are talking about if demons were real what the world would be like. This all started because my parents rented out a room and the person the rented it out has books upon books about them that she thinks are real." I say explaining my situation quickly.
"Ah I see. It seems like you guys might keep talking about this for a few days instead of just one day." Mr. Thomason says walking up to his desk and sitting down.
I look at Nate and chuckle. "He knows us way too much."
"Yes he does. Yes he does." Nate says laughing along with me. We both take our seats and Mr. Thomason starts teaching.
After the bell rings, I head to my locker and put my stuff in there. Normally I would go to the band locker room and see my friends, but I wanted to get home early today, so I put in my ear buds and turn my IPod on and walk out the front door and head home.
I enter through the front and head to my room. My mom is upstairs working and Jen is off doing something so I decide to watch T.V. in my room. I end up watching it till dinner is ready. I walk upstairs and sit at the table. Jenifer comes down the stairs and sits next to me. I look at her and nod a hello, and then I turn to my parents confused.
"Jenifer will join us for dinner every now and then, OK?" My step dad says.
I shrug my shoulder. As if I have a choice. I settle down and look to see what we are having. There is a bowl of salad in front of everyone. Doug brings in a bowl of spaghetti noodles and I realize we are having my least favorite dish, spaghetti and meatballs. I sigh, and dish my plate waiting for my parents to sit and pray. I really don't like praying because secretively to my family, I'm atheist. Once everyone is there and we pray we all eat silently. I turn to Jenifer, "So what do you do for a living, Jen? May I call you Jen?"
She looks up and finishes her bite nodding. "Yeah, that's fine with me." She says after swallowing. "I am currently looking for a job right now."
"Ah, seems like you're having fun already." I say trying to make the best of having her here.
She smiles. "I am. Now since you asked a question it's my turn." I shrug nodding her to go on. "How old are you? And what grade are you in?"
I nod to the side like its no big deal. "I'm currently seventeen and a junior in high school."
She looks at me in approval as if she needed to know these things for a job I was applying for. "Wow, getting up there is school aren't you? Two more years. What do you plan to do after school? Do you want to go to college?" She asks. She seems interested in my life, but I know it's all just an act and she could give a dime about it.
Even though I know this, I decide to be polite. "To be honest, I don't know what I'll do after high school. I plan to go to college but I don't know what for."
"Ah I see. Well if you need any help with any homework and your parents aren't able to, I'm always here if you want to come."
I nod my thanks and finish dinner. I put my dish on the counter as my step dad does the dishes. I head down stairs and grab my book. I come back up and sit in the arm chair in the family room. After awhile my parents yell from the back door, "OK John, we are leaving now. We're taking your sister to your grandmas."
I nod my head and yell my reply "OK."
Now my parents go out sometimes on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. My baby sister goes to my grandmas down the street sometimes to. I mostly take advantage of the alone time to read a book. This night is about assassins. The main character is about to jump and stab the hidden blade into the spine of his target when all of a sudden, I hear a loud bang upstairs. I never heard it before. It was like an explosion. Another bang. I decide to investigate. I walk upstairs and wander around the kitchen and the living room when I hear it again. I find out that it is coming from Jennifer's room. I go up the stairs and knock on her door. As I knock, I hear a devilish, high pitched scream and then a scream that sounds like Jennifer conjured it. I cover my ears at the noise that was coming out of her room. I think its some kind of music so I open the door cautiously.

The train ride between Quebec City and Baie Saint-Paul really doesn't have anything to envy fancy European trains so many tourists dream of. And while no superlative carries enough power to fully describe how spectacular the experience was, for me, the real deal was the destination. Alighting at La Ferme is a bit like walking into a dream and leaving all worries behind. A big, invigorating breath of fresh air mixed with the hospitality of the locals — that's what I call a vacation.
But why is the place named La Ferme, if it's home to exactly zero specimens of the animal reign?
It's actually because of the massive fire that struck in 2007 and unfortunately ravaged the 100-year-old wooden farm that was standing there at the time. The owner and the architect of the project simply couldn't imagine the hotel complex without it being a reflection of the land's long, rich history — this is how La Ferme came to be. The contemporary farm concept is used throughout the entire place, from the tiniest details in the bedrooms to the names of the buildings (the sheepfold, the vineyard, the farmyard, etc.)
Le Germain Hotel Charlevoix
One of the things that I particularly loved about anti-resort La Ferme and that isn't quite as obvious is its green attitude; in fact, building a hotel that fully respects its surroundings and the environment was the founding principle of the project. All of the buildings are heated with geothermal energy, and pretty much everything inside its walls are sourced from within a 100-kilometers radius, be it decorative items, toiletries, furniture, and even the contents of the kitchens' refrigerators. Talk about an actual sensory exploration of Charlevoix.
My room was in the largest of the four pavillions, the Sheepfold (la Bergerie), which enabled me to not only have a superb view over the land and nature that surrounds the hotel, but also on the comings and goings of the train. I even indulged in al fresco post-dinner tea, nestled in my comfortable Adirondack chair, listening to the soothing song of the croaking frogs and windy trees. Getting out of bed in the morning required a tremendous amount of willpower, a feat I only achieved by picturing what my hearty breakfast in the sun would taste like. I still had many faces of Baie Saint-Paul left to discover.
Between the nature-inspired spa, the friendly people of Café du Marché, the gourmet meals at open-kitchen restaurant Les Labours, the many art galleries in the village and the calm beach nearby, my day in Baie Saint-Paul flew by without the slightest hint of boredom. It was with a heavy heart that I hopped on the train back to Quebec City, with every fibre of my body telling me to stay.
And honestly, that's the issue with La Ferme. Such a dilemma; should I stay, or should I go? Should I admire the features of my room and the hotel, or should I go gallivanting in the area? Should I relax at the spa, or should I eat my weight in local delicacies? A fantastic problem to have (some would even hint at #firstworldproblems), I agree, but it doesn't make it any less difficult to choose.
Staying only one night at La Ferme is more akin to torture than pleasure, simply because guests will, inevitably, feel like they're missing out on some things. 24 hours is simply not enough in this neck of the wood. I'm already planning my next trip as I am writing this, which I hope will allow me to fully grasp what La Ferme and Charlevoix are all about.
Le Germain Hotel Charlevoix – Know Before You Go
- The hotel features 145 different rooms.
- The rooms can host couples (one large bed), families (one large bed + bunks) and solo travellers (luxury dorms).
- No need for a car in Baie Saint-Paul – everything is doable by foot.
- The hotel offers free Wi-Fi throughout.
- There is a public market on the hotel's grounds every Sunday in the summer, which is replaced by an ice rink in the winter.
- There are three different restaurants on site: Café du marché, Les Labours restaurant and Le Bercail lounge bar.
- The Spa du Verger offers an amazing thermal experience: outdoor hot/cold baths, Finnish sauna, eucalyptus steam bath, Nordic shower and snow fountain.
10 Comments on Where To Stay In Charlevoix: Le Germain Hotel Charlevoix
My family and I stayed at La Ferme right before the Christmas holidays and it was such a fabulous stay. I loved the family-friendly and stylish rooms, as well as the layout of the resort. Such a fantastic location.
I was looking for a place to stay in Charlevoix for my trip there this summer, and this is might just be perfection. Is it quite close to the village and the beach?
I love that the train stops directly at the hotel! Must be quite handy not to have to walk from the station, when it's right there next to the main hall!
Gorgeous! I'd love to stay here sometime.
What a gorgeous hotel. The landscape are truly magnificent. I would love to have the chance to stay there. The architecture looks incredible. The pictures looks beautiful. Great post, thank you for sharing.

Mar. 26: American session
Tatiana Norkina, an analyst at FBS
Basic orders for durable goods in the U.S. showed a smaller increase today, compared with the predicted one: 0.2% vs. 0.3 %. Note that in the last month there was an increase of 0.9 % on revised data. It did not affect the dynamics of the U.S. index today, which is still recovering at +0.15 % after yesterday's evening dip. Major U.S. stock indexes grow up by +0.21 %.
In currency markets, strong movements are observed. The EUR/USD consolidates below the figure of 1.3800, GBP/USD storms the resistance 1.6570.
Currency pair USD/CHF tested the strength level of 0.8870 once again, but resistance has stayed same, forcing prices down to around 0.8845. USD/JPY has recovered to the level of 102.45, but could not resist and fell to 102.35.

The Clinic's Inpatient Department treats a variety of conditions, with a special isloation ward for patients with particularly contageous illnesses such as Tuberculosis.
Founded in 1999, the IPD treated all cases in the same space. As needs and the number of patients increased, the IPD expanded its services and facilities, separating the department into different units: medical, children, reproductive health, and trauma/surgery.
The Inpatient Department (IPD) admits patients with severe medical problems (non-trauma) 24-hours a day. The most common cases seen continue to be malaria, acute respiratory infection, urinary tract infection, gastritis/ulcer and diarrhoea. There is also a continuing increase in the number of chronic cases, which include cancer, sclerosis, hypertension, nephritic syndrome and heart disease.
Beyond the regular patient caseload, staff at MTC must be prepared for the unexpected effects of extreme weather, such as the cholera outbreak in 2007.
The IPD is a basic building, but some renovations have provided additional space for patients. There is also an area for the medics to prepare medications, see follow-ups, conduct training, store supplies, have a small medical reference library, and keep an archive of past medical records.
For severe cases that cannot be treated at MTC, the referral programme to Mae Sot Hospital (MSH) is a possibility. Department Manager Saw Muni and the medical staff are faced with the task of deciding who will be referred for treatment, taking into account the survival rate of the patient and the cost of treatment. A lack of facilities and resources makes it a hard process for both the staff and patients.

Late arrival at the clinic is an important factor in the number of deaths per year (approximately 190). Transportation costs to the clinic are high, and illegal immigrants who are less ill are more likely to be arrested than those who are severely ill. Hence, they often delay too long before coming. About 35% of mortalities occur within 48 hours of admission.
In some cases, the whole family travels with the patient to avoid getting lost in the case of arrest or deportation or simply because there are no economic means to travel back and forth to the clinic. The presence of family members increases crowding at the clinic. Beds are frequently close together and patients often have to be accommodated in the space available between the beds. There is an immediate need for isolation rooms for patients with communicable diseases, especially now that there is no longer an external tuberculosis programme for patients.
Staff retention is one of the main concerns of the department. Saw Muni summarises the plight well: "If we look for our strong points, we have trained a lot of medics…if we look for the weak points we have trained a lot of medics that have left". There is hope that the staff will have more long-term medics and training, especially considering the expansion plans of the clinic.
In 1998, about 80% of admissions were related to malaria. Over time, the range of illnesses treated has become broader – but the constant over time has been that patients arrive at the clinic with illnesses in advanced states. Since many patients arrive with terminal illness, the IPD functions part of the time like a hospice. Working constantly with terminal patients has a strong impact on the younger health workers. If the patients could have a higher level of health knowledge, act more on prevention, and obtain treatment earlier, many of the conditions, such as malnutrition for example, would be preventable or treatable. The IPD also faces family issues – a patient may be dropped at the clinic by friends or family, however, these people frequently cannot afford to miss work in order to be their attendant. The responsibility falls upon the medics to support patients who face death without friends or family.
In other cases, the whole family travels to the clinic together. They may live far away and are unfamiliar with Mae Sot. If the family is migrant or displaced already, they fear being split up by circumstances if they don't travel together. For example, in the case of arrest or deportation, they could have great difficulty finding one another again. The family may not have the resources to travel back and forth to the clinic every day, or have difficulty travelling freely due to security. Sometimes, the family members will search for work in Mae Sot while attending to a sick family member.
One might be tempted to declare victory when a patient's condition has improved and is able to go back home. However, for many patients, this merely heralds the beginning of the next set of challenges. They may not have money to get back home, face security and travel challenges, and their old job may no longer be waiting for them even if they do complete the journey without incident.
In order to carry out their duties successfully, the IPD medics must possess medical ability, as well as the ability to counsel patients, support them, and refer them to other clinic social services. One of the most difficult challenges for the medics is to manage the psychosocial aspects. While the death rate is very high, the community spirit of the patients is unbreakable. The HIV/AIDS patients stay in the clinic for a long time, become a close-knit community, and take care of each other.
Unfortunately, there is no space in the ward for relaxation or recreation for long-term patients, and many don't have sufficient clothing, blankets or basic necessities. One by-product is that the visual impact for visitors can be a shock. Desperately poor patients arrive with few basic necessities and after long travel. The patients often leave with blankets, meaning that the clinic is constantly in short supply, some patients are accompanied by an entire family who may sleep under their bed, and they can be very dirty due to travelling and sleeping on the floor. While they may receive good care and treatment, there may be visual shock at the patient's physical appearance in the crowded and disorganised ward. Dr Cynthia stresses the importance of looking past the initial appearance, avoiding judgment, and looking more closely at the most important elements – quality of care and strength of the community.
Under the misnomer of a "clinic", Mae Tao Clinic also functions as a hospital facility, with several inpatient departments (IPD). Until 1999, there was only one inpatient department, treating medical, trauma, reproductive health, and child inpatients all in the same space. In 1999, the continually growing patient population led to the expansion of the clinic and separation of departments, eventually resulting in the Medical, Children's, Reproductive Health, and Trauma/Surgery IPDs that exist today.
Established in 1999, the Medical IPD was a combined service for both adults and children. The most common cases seen continue to be malaria, acute respiratory infection, and diarrhoea, with a continuing increase in the number of chronic cases being seen at the clinic, including cancer, sclerosis, hypertension, nephritic syndrome, and heart disease. Among children, malnutrition is also a common case, and this was one of the leading reasons for the development of a separate Children's IPD in 2005; children with weakened immune systems needed to be separated from patients with contagious illnesses.
Beyond the regular patient caseload, staff of MTC must be prepared for the unexpected, such as the cholera outbreak in 2007, or other effects of extreme weather seen in tropical climates. The rainy season from May to September, for example, always brings an increase in the number of patients arriving with malaria. In addition, the further word spreads of the services of MTC, the more chronic cases are presented at the clinic. Even in a well-equipped, modern hospital setting, these cases would be an extreme challenge.
For severe cases that cannot be treated at MTC, the referral programme to Mae Sot Hospital (MSH) becomes a possibility. Department Manager Saw Muni and the staff of the Medical IPDs are charged with the unenviable task of deciding who will be referred for treatment and who will not be. There are procedures and protocols to follow, but this does not make it easier. Staff must first consider the potential survival rate of the patient, and then the cost of treatment, referring only the patients that require a one-time visit to the hospital, and not on-going hospital visits. Of course, these decisions are made in developed countries, but not to this extent, and not on a daily basis. Frustration and sadness is evident when talking with Saw Muni. "I am sad because we cannot treat all of the patients, we don't have enough facilities or enough money to refer the patients. If I see sick patients, and I can't do anything for them, I feel very sad. And when the patients die…we see a lot of death."
The Medical IPDs are also plagued with the challenge of staff retention. Saw Muni summarises the plight well, "If we look for our strong points…we have trained a lot of medics. If we look for the weak points…we have trained a lot of medics that have left." With the introduction of a resettlement programme in 2004, the clinic has suffered extensive loss of staff, but Saw Muni expresses the understanding and acceptance for those that choose to resettle in a third country, "We are human beings. We want to improve our lives. If we are just living, with nothing to hope for…people don't want to live like this."
There is hope that the future will see the training of more long-term staff, especially as there are more plans for expansions in Medical IPD. As an example of possible future development, the department still requires better isolation of patients with communicable diseases, especially now that there is no longer an external Tuberculosis programme. There is also the hope for greater coordination and partnership with other health organisations, Mae Sot Hospital, and the Thai community. Communicable illnesses like TB quickly become devastating public health issues that don't recognise borders. The increase in cross-border patients requires greater collaboration in the community to battle health issues.
The IPD cannot alone solve the problem of cross-border tuberculosis, malnutrition, lack of health care inside Burma, or the extreme social and economic challenges of the patients. The IPD aspires to treat the patients with the best care possible with its resources, utilising strong collaboration with other clinic departments as well as other organisations to address the broader issues that result in its high caseloads.

Born in Leeds, the 28-year-old left-sided player began his career at Sheffield Wednesday, making over 200 appearances, across six years, before a spell at Doncaster Rovers where he was a League One title winner. He joined Blackburn in 2013, making over 80 appearances, but turned down the offer of a new deal at Ewood Park to sign on the dotted line for North End. Spurr comes to Deepdale with Championship experience and will be looking to establish himself in Simon Grayson's thoughts ahead of the 2016/17 campaign.

WEST HARTFORD, Connecticut Thomas Bruderman's pals still tease him about the lavish 2003 bachelor party that landed him in financial regulators' crosshairs.
There was a yacht, visits to strip clubs and a dwarf hired for entertainment.
Bruderman says he understands the razzing. "I deserve it," the former star healthcare trader at Fidelity Investments said at a recent meeting in a Starbucks in wealthy suburban West Hartford.
Bruderman is trying to start over, having co-founded a hedge fund. So far he and his partners have raised close to $100 million, including their own money, for their firm to invest.
Strong performance by the fund could help Bruderman leave behind his partying past. Over-the-top bashes are nothing unusual on Wall Street, but Bruderman's became a symbol of excess after regulators said much of it was paid for by brokers seeking Fidelity business.
The Securities and Exchange Commission settled with him last month over allegations that accepting gifts and travel was improper. Bruderman agreed to pay about $350,000 and accept a censure, but he did not admit or deny wrongdoing.
The deal marked the end of a case that transformed gift-giving rules on Wall Street and, Bruderman says, exposed him to countless jokes. "I do not begrudge anyone from having a few laughs at my expense," he said at one point in a series of recent interviews and emails.
The outcome also showed how, as in many investigations, the SEC ended its case in a way that left all sides able to say they prevailed. Other former Fidelity traders settled related claims but did not admit wrongdoing. The result has left Bruderman able both to laugh at the past and to question why he was singled out by the SEC.
"The whole affair was nicely salacious and there was plenty of free press to be had" for regulators, he wrote via email. "The recent headlines have made it abundantly clear that there are issues out there which clearly dwarf this one," he said.
Bruderman left Fidelity in 2004 under pressure, but today says he bears no ill will toward the company or regulators.
In person, Bruderman, dressed in the modern business casual of dress shirt and fleece vest, comes across as self-effacing, hardly the dissolute trader described by regulators.
In past filings Bruderman and other traders said they often reimbursed the brokers for gifts like jet trips and concert tickets.
In other cases, "I could easily have paid my own way," Bruderman wrote in an email, but "my sell-side friends were strongly encouraged by their firms to entertain and in some cases even required to do so."
The dwarf who attended the party was Danny Black, owner of shortdwarf.com, who recounted to news organizations how he was hired as entertainment. The bachelor party was tied to Bruderman's marriage to the daughter of former Tyco International Ltd Chief Executive Dennis Kozlowski, later convicted of financial crimes against the company.
For the record, Andrew Stone, a childhood friend of Bruderman's from Fairfield County, Connecticut, and his partner in the new firm, said he did hire Black, for $1,800, but says there was no dwarf-tossing at the party, as some reports had it. Such activity was banned by Black's contract, Stone said.
After spending $40,000 on legal fees as a witness in the SEC's probe, Stone's takeaway was: "It was a waste of my time and money."
SEC spokesman John Nester declined to comment on Stone's criticism but said: "Few things are as fundamental to market integrity and investor confidence as enforcing the obligation of investment advisers to put their clients' interests first."
In 2008 Fidelity itself agreed to pay $8 million to settle regulator claims it should have better supervised the traders. Fidelity also did not admit or deny wrongdoing, though it put stricter rules in place and says none of the traders sanctioned by the SEC remain at the firm.
Stone and Bruderman declined to discuss some specifics of the case.
Bruderman says he is rarely asked about the probe now in connection with their new investment firm, VP Theta. ("VP" stands for "value portfolio," and "Theta" refers to the Greek letter that in options trading signifies how the passage of time affects option prices.)
The firm uses some quantitative techniques to identify value stocks and invest in equity derivatives. Bruderman, Stone and a third partner may start marketing it in the fall.
All young fathers, the three decided to base their fund in leafy Farmington, Connecticut, considering it a good area to raise families. Since his last wedding Bruderman has divorced and remarried.
His second ceremony was held on a beach in 2008 with only his new bride, a minister and a photographer present. "We sort of eloped and didn't tell anybody about it," Bruderman said.
Why no gala? "I felt like I already had that chapter of my life," he said.

Montreal & the Laurentiane Mountains
... I got to a point where the road was just for cars and there was a bike path, which presumably can be used by pedestrians. At this point, the signs were non-existant, so I had to assume that this path led to the same place as the road; thankfully it did. I walked at a fast pace from 10.30am until 1pm, and the sun was blaring down on me. I saw two beautiful deer who started me as I did them, a lovely bird and some interesting looking insects, including ...

The Kingdom of Camelot
Luminous Blane
Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to any properties connected to Sonic the Hedgehog. If I did, I would've made the game this fanfiction is based on longer, with a more involved plot, though I do enjoy the plot, and I'd also have added more playable characters, maybe making Silver unlockable, as a mage. I'm not talking about battle mode, either, he's in there. Wait, what was I doing? Oh, right, disclaimer. Sorry, I'm done now. On with the story. Wait, hang on, I forgot I needed to mention some...
Notes: Ok, Percival was not a woman in the original Arthurian material, but since I rather like the way he, or she, or whatever, was portrayed in black knight, I'm going to keep it female, and I'm going to fix that damn "Sir" thing. As a female, it would not be Sir Percival, but Dame Percival, from the latin Domina, meaning mistress, and the french Dame, meaning lady. Jet and Silver will appear, with their lack of appearance in the game's story being explained, and more knights will be recruited. Also, prior to the events of the game, as at this period in history there was no chance of a woman being made a knight, well, that's explained too.
"Look, I'm flattered, but I have to get back to my own world now. Merlina, can you help me out?" Sonic felt incredibly uncomfortable with the Knights of the Round Table kneeling before him.
"No...I'm sorry, your highness...but this battle...you have managed to tear the very magic right out of me...I'll never be able to cast a spell again..."
"What?! You've got to be kidding me! So, I'll never be able to go home? But, what if Eggman attacks?!"
"My liege, I know not what threat any man of egg could pose, but surely you are not the only one capable of handling him...are there no knights of your valor, of your strength, who could battle him in your stead?" Lancelot stood as he spoke, approaching his new king. Sonic looked at the knight pensively.
"Shadow...well...I guess you're right...but, to never see my friends again?" Sonic's head hung in dismay.
"Do not be so hasty to assume, Sonic." Excalibur, once Caliburn, consoled his wielder. "While we've no means to return you as of yet, there are other wizards in our world besides Merlina. However, until one is found, I must ask you to take me up and rise to your place as king of this land."
"...I...I don't know anything about being a king, though..." His sword scoffed at this remark.
"What's the worry? If you could be taught to use a sword, you can be taught anything. But for now, we've had a long day. Let us retire to your royal bed chamber." Sonic nodded, taking hold of his blade.
"Wait!" Merlina moved in front of them tiredly, holding Excalibur's scabbard out to them. "The sword is yours, Sonic...so, too, shall be its scabbard..." Sonic nodded, placing his blade into the scabbard.
"...Would one of you show me to my bed?" Percival quickly stepped forward.
"It would be an honor!" Walking through the corridors of the castle, she showed him to his room.
"Whoa... Snazzy! Well, I guess there's worse places I could be stuck..." He hung his scabbard on the bedpost, climbing into the bed, and falling into a deep sleep.
Morning came with the crow of the cock and the light of the sun spilling into the castle windows. Hours later, loud, echoing bangs rang through the bedroom. Sonic sleepily trudged to the door, pulling it open to find Dame Percival, clothed in loose pants, a ruffled shirt, and a tight leather jerkin, standing at his door.
"My liege, if you would, the remaining knights wish to meet their new king."
"Remaining knights?" Sonic tiredly rubbed the crud from his eyes.
"Yes. Just the five of us are left, in all... Many rebelled when the false king was corrupted, and most of those who rebelled were put to death... The two remaining were injured killing other knights, on the king's order..." Sonic clenched his fists, his eyes shut tight. "your highness, please, do not keep them waiting long..."
"...Right." Sonic grabbed Excalibur, heading out the door of his room.
"Oh! One more thing, I had this made for you..." She handed him a long leather belt inlaid with gold, with a clasp on either end.
"It...looks a bit long, and I'm not sure how I'd fasten it...you wanna help me out?" Blushing, Percival nodded, attaching a clasp to one of the loops on Excalibur's scabbard, wrapping the belt around Sonic twice, and attaching the other clasp to the remaining loop, the scabbard hanging at his left side. "Nice! Thanks, Percival."
"It is my pleasure, Your highness."
"That's getting kinda old...you wanna just call me Sonic? Please?"
"I-if you insist, Sonic...ah, here we are...." Percival opened the door to the castle's infirmary, motioning for sonic to enter. A gray hedgehog and a green falcon lay in two of the beds.
"Sonic, I present Sir Galahad and my brother, Sir Lamorak." The recovering knights rose from their sickbeds, kneeling before their new king.
"We pledge our lives to you, your highness."
"...Well, first off, your lives are no good to anyone if they end. Get back in your beds, guys. Second, just call me Sonic. All this formality...it makes me uncomfortable..." The knights nodded, slowly easing themselves back into bed, Percival helping her brother into bed.
"You spoke true when you said he was an odd man for a king, Percival, yet, if Excalibur has chosen him, I have every confidence in his ability to rule."
"If that's all we're gonna say down here, Percival, could you call Merlina to my chambers? I've got no idea how to run a kingdom, and she knows more about this world than anyone else. Wizard or no, at least I have an advisor." Percival nodded, and left the room.
"Get well soon, you two. I'm worried that I might need all the knights I can get." Sonic left the room, then dashed back to his room, arriving in mere seconds, and sitting on his bed. Merlina was escorted in by Percival, tears in her eyes as she stood before the king. Percival left, closing the door behind her.
"Are you alright, Merlina?"
"I am fully prepared, your highness, for whatever punishment you have decided for me."
"Punishment? Merlina, I called you here because you're gonna be my advisor. I've got nothing to punish you for. Now, start teaching me. I want to go over all the basics." Merlina, wiping the tears from her eyes, began to tell him everything she could about the kingdom, its history, its neighbors, its resources, and its people. Hours passed, and Sonic's interest began to wane. Merlina's lesson began to trail off, as she noticed the dull look in his eyes.
"...Would you like to continue tomorrow?" Sonic nodded, and she began to make her way to his door.
"Wait, one thing...That stuff you told me about? Gawain and Lancelot's rift...Mordred...Arthur's death...How did you know all that? And how could it come true if I'm the real king?" Merlina paused, her hand on the doorknob. She gave a heavy sigh and turned back to the king.
"One day, nearly a year ago, there was a great flash in the sky, a ring of light, all the colors of the rainbow, was seen around the sun. That day, everything changed...Arthur grew insane with the power of his scabbard...the people grew quiet and withdrawn from the nobility...and to so many of us, truths we were not meant to know were revealed...I would have said that I suffered the most, knowing the fate that my beloved home would suffer, but...Looking back, it was perhaps Percival who had the hardest time..."
"Why? What did she see?"
"Nothing. Nothing at all. It was what the other knights saw...That she was a woman. She always wore her helmet, so none would know. She and Lamorak were both beset by ridicule...but the king would have none of it. He needed every loyal knight he could get, so he defended her. She would be useful in his conquest."
"...But, did he turn evil in what you saw happen to the kingdom?"
"...No. He didn't. I was so wrought with grief, I didn't manage to think about it, but now, I realize...that day, the very story I learned was thrown from its set course...I'm sorry, your highness, but if I may take my leave..." Sonic nodded, watching her go. She wiped the tears from her eyes as she walked out the door, closing it tightly behind her. He heard Merlina apologize quietly as she went on her way, and a knock came to his door.
"Come in." Percival entered slowly, frowning. "Oh, hey, Percival. What's that look for?"
"I...I must leave the round table...if you wish to punish me for deserting my king, so be it, but...you have heard what Merlina said. There is no place for me among the knights...they do not accept me. Even my brother thinks that I should leave now that it is known that I am a maiden...I've been debating this for some time, and I've made my decision...I'm sorry, Sonic..." Sonic just shook his head.
"You can't be serious, Percival...You're not even making a decision here. You're letting other people push you out of your place in life." Percival clenched her eyes shut, forcing her tears onto her cheeks.
"You don't understand, Sonic..."
"Of course I don't! How could anyone give up just because other people think they should? You're an amazing knight, and you're just going to drop it?! You're fast, you're strong, you're brave...Who cares if you're a man or a woman? Either way, you're a knight to me..." he gently wiped her tears from her cheeks, smiling sympathetically.
"...Sonic...Thank you...You've saved my life twice now...Once keeping me from death, and again, keeping me from throwing away the dream of knighthood I'd carried since childhood..." She felt herself shaking, having trouble keeping her emotions in check. She felt as if she was going to be crushed by the sheer magnitude of this decision, yet with only a few words, he'd made it feel like nothing at all. Perhaps this was why the sword had chosen him to be king? His sympathy and consideration for others? She caught herself staring into his bright green eyes, and turned away, ashamed of herself.
"I'm sorry, I...I must go...I have some preparations I must unmake..." She lied, taking any excuse to leave the room before she let her emotions get the best of her. He had just complimented her strength, and she was about to cling to him, sobbing with relief! She may have been a maiden, but she was a knight as well, and she would not show such openness and emotion in front of her king, lest he begin to rethink his decision to convince her to stay.
Sonic walked to the window of his chambers, looking out at the demolished courtyard, where people were already beginning repairs. There was a lot of work to do to bring the castle to its former glory, and even more to give it a worthy king.
Well, that was a nice little ride, huh? Had some fun, some tears, some plot, haven't really gotten to the main source of conflict for this yet. Also, starting with chapter three, I'm thinking I'll have odd numbered chapters be the actual stories of some of king Arthur's knights. I'll probably start with Pelleas, because I just love that story so much. Remember, reviews make a story more fun to write! R&R, or there's a higher risk I'll pull out my hiatus stamp and mark this story with it's dreaded...um...ah, whatever, story's over, I don't need to be all fancy and descriptive. See you next time!

Shane Warne consoles Shah Rukh Khan
The Rajasthan Royals skipper had some words of comfort for SRK
Rajasthan Royals skipper Shane Warne had some words of consolation for Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan after his Indian Premier League (IPL)team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) failed to make it to the semi-finals for the third year in a row.
Warne wrote on social networking site Twitter: "Hey buddy you're a champion and your charisma is something (that) I'm sure inspires a lot of people. Hang in there, sport is cruel sometimes."
"Congrats the way you conduct yourself, I know it's tough re (regarding) KKR... I am feeling for you, but it's a pleasure to live the journey of life," Warne tweeted.
Shah Rukh, on the same forum, had apologised for KKR's failure.
"Also cos (because) lots of ppl (people) think I am sad etc. I am not...just disappointed. That too has waned already. New day...new way. v get wot v work for (We get what we work for). Being successful does not mean that one doesn't react to bad days. Being successful means reacting and then acting upon changing bad days," he wrote.
"Those who don't have a reaction to losses get used to it. I always...say...if you hate losing enuff (enough)...you will surely win. End of sermon ha ha," he added.
On a more serious note he wrote: "Someone just sent a mathematical (ill-informed) profit made by KKR. To correct u...Not invested million dollars, just some priceless emotions in KKR."

I odered a starte version of the Pimsleur Approach to learning a language. I paid 9.99 for that and was happy to receive it.
About a month later I received a box with the Platinum version of this product without a bill. Now two monthl later I receive a bill for $256.00 saying that the payment for this product is past due. I called and spoke with a representative of the Internet Order, LLC and they said that since its past the trial period which I never received a bill or even ordered this product that I could no longer send it back. They said that I didn't read the fine print. I told them I never received a bill during the trial period, or I would have sent it back then. They had nothing to say and am now waiting for a supervisor to call me back.

text: Link GPS is out for 10 months and possibly more with a torn ACL. He might not return to the Octagon until 2013. Many fighters never recover from such a serious injury and long layoff. End of his dominance? Who wins the interim title between Condit and Diaz? I have to say that I'm quite bummed as I was looking forward to see if GSP could keep his promise to put "the worst beating in UFC history" on Diaz in response to the comments that were made after the Penn fight.

Translated to English: By Mario Gentilini, presentation of Piero Zanotto, illustrations by Pier Lorenzo De Vita, Alexander Toth, Warren Tuft, Walt Disney Productions, Copyright 1979 Posted by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.pA., Milan, First Edition June 1979.
During the 1950's Walt Disney ruled the TV air waves with one great adventure series after another. The adventures of Zorro premiered on ABC and ran from 1957 to 1959. Between The Adventures of Davy Crocket and Zorro, Walt Disney had millions of youngsters watching these series every week turning them into little Zorro's and little Davy Crocket's. The Zorro TV Series created numerous products to tie into the series that are highly collectible today.
I've read the first Dell Zorro Comic Book and I have to say this large format of the Adventures of Zorro is very well done. The art work and the story line is fantastic and I'm positive you'll enjoy reading it if you read Spanish.

Back to Square One, Book One ... PrologueMature
A futuristic story of four bio-genetically enhanced super soldiers, set in the year 2134. World peace is almost a reality. Form of government is the only topic of debate, between Communism or Democracy. War has erupted to determine which form will run the new world. Red Legion Army represents Communism. Freedom Knights Army represents Democracy. This is the story of these four soldiers in the war, and of what happens post-war. (Rough Draft)
The Great Civil War
August 3rd 2134, Houston Texas
General Clay was sitting behind his desk in his office at the Freedom Knights headquarters, his desk riddled with paperwork and dossiers of various different marines and squadrons. His most trusted colonel, Colonel Corpus, sat on the other side of the desk. A half whittled down cigar hung out of General Clay's mouth, still smoking and giving the office a distasteful smoky stench as he thumbed through paper after paper, list after list of different groups of marine squadrons. The office was fairly dark; the only light was the single bulb over Clay's desk hanging from the ceiling by a thin wire. Corpus picked up a folder that was closer to his side of the desk. In the dim light he still spotted the title Vapor Team printed on the folder's tab. Corpus then stood up and leaned over the desk, handing the folder to Clay.
"This one sir," Corpus said in a crisp and confident tone of voice.
"Vapor Team," Clay acknowledged, taking the folder out of Corpus's hand. "Colonel, are you sure we should pull our most valuable squadron off the front lines?"
"Yes sir, I don't see any other possible options before us."
Clay opened the folder and pulled out four dossiers, tapped his cigar over the ashtray on the side of his desk and began to read the documents. He had already read Vapor Team's dossiers and commendations over two dozen times, but he needed to be completely sure it was the right decision to take Vapor Team off the front lines.
"The Red Legion's back is against the wall, they won't last much longer. We need to ensure that they can't gain a foothold for a possible counterattack by protecting this power plant with none other than the best we have." Corpus explained.
Clay knew that Corpus was right. Ever since the Red Legion had been pushed back to the last remnants of their territories, their fighting was getting more desperate. Since the Communists were staring defeat right in the eyes, their forces had begun eliminating key war sustaining assets under Democratic control near the front lines in an attempt to slow down the Freedom Knights' progress. Ammunition caches, power plants, and airstrips were the Red Legion's primary targets. Corpus was the one who noticed the Red Legion's pattern in the assault of these war assets and predicted their next target, a hydroelectric power plant located approximately one hundred kilometers from the front lines in Russia. After having heard Corpus's analysis, Clay had called Corpus in to his office to discuss who to send to reinforce the power plant, but they had been indecisive up until this point.
Clay finished reading Vapor Team's dossiers, putting them back in the folder and laying the folder down on his desk. He took a long drag of his cigar, and looked up at Corpus.
"A sniper, a medic, a supportsman, and a pilot. I hope you know what you are doing Corpus. All four of those men work brilliantly on the front lines together. If you are wrong about the Communists next strike, it could mean a much slower end to the war."
"I am confident in my decisions General. We cannot allow the Red Legion forces to gain any sort of advantage against us."
After a long pause, Clay replied, "Agreed, Vapor Team will defend the power plant. Corpus, I am sending you personally to issue these new orders to Vapor Team. Depart immediately to Firebase Epsilon and extract Vapor Team from the front lines."
"Understood sir," Corpus said already exiting the office.
Clay finished his cigar and placed it in the ash tray. He leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment. Four soldiers, our best soldiers, are being reassigned on defensive duty. Corpus better know what he is doing. If the rumors are true about the new communist assets, then this may be an even bigger risk. But Corpus hasn't been wrong about anything yet. However, if this new directive for Vapor Team goes south… well, we will be looking at a much longer war indeed…

Eileen of Runa's pirates spotted an unconscious young man floating on a plank from a shipwreck. The pirates subsequently hauled him aboard, and waited for him to wake up. When he awoke, Runa asked for his identity, but he had no recollection of his past. With no other option, he decided to join the captain's crew. On the ship, the young man soon discovered his shockingly handiness with a blade. The rest of the crew compared his speed to that of the wind, nicknaming him, "Gale."

The Liverpool forward has indicated he would leave Anfield to sign for the Spanish giants, after becoming fed up with the harsh treatment he receives from an often xenophobic British press.
Suárez told 890 Sport: "I love Liverpool, but if there is a chance of playing somewhere else … I suffered too much as a kid to get where I am to be attacked unfairly by the English press. They haven't appreciated me as a player, they've just judged my attitude.
"I've talked to my agent, there's nothing concrete. To say no to Madrid would always be difficult and more so with the team they have."
