Scam artists are targeting Hampton Roads, Virginia.
Already one woman from Chesapeake is out almost five thousand dollars because of a lottery scam.
The State Police asked us to alert you about a bogus lottery sweepstakes letter that's been sent to at least three people here in Hampton Roads.
It says it's from a sweepstakes in the Virgin Islands... and you of course are a big winner.
The letter says you need to cash a check sent in the mail for $4,800.
A Chesapeake woman deposited the money at her ATM, the check cleared and later bounced but not before she sent the scam artists the money for so called international taxes.
Police warn no legitimate lottery will ask for any money before you receive your full prize.
"A lot of times you get a thrill you think you just won the lottery. A lot of times like in this case, you receive a check and you say here's a check right here I can go and deposit it and I can start collecting my winnings but unfortunately it's often not the case," said special agent Josh Fannon with the State Police.
There are other red flags to detect if the prize is legit.
Check for spelling or grammar errors in the letter and remember you should never give any personal information over the telephone.
Anyone who receives notification that they won $50,000 from "Western Lotto Sweepstake Inc." is being asked to call state police at (757) 424-6855.

"It says it's from a sweepstakes in the Virgin Islands... and you of course are a big winner."I wonder if she Entered the VI Sweepstakes? If NOT, I wonder why she thought she had Won something she never Entered? Official looking Letter? Blinded by the Big Money? When does Logic kick-in and they say to themselves: If I Won Why am I sending them Money? or If I Won Why don't they Deduct the International Taxes from my Winnings?
Since when there are INTERNATIONAL taxes on lottery winnings?
We see this over and over and over.....
I wish the Network news, USA today and local papers would make this a headline story so some of these people that don't have internet access will know not to fall for these scams ...
Sad, but true :
As long as people have money, there will always be predators looking to steal it.
Sadly man has not evolved very far from Caveman Days: We still have folks taking advantage of other folks.
Yes, the International Taxes ONLY apply to Lump Sum Distributions!
makes you wonder how many people do not report this type of scam,......
Hey,that is not cool.Don't you watch those GEICO commercials?Yes,we are still around!
here we go again unfortunately someone trying to get something for nothing.
She should've asked herself have I played a virgin island lottery lately ?
Of Course! How could you miss them? Now, Go Back In Your Cave!
What about my roast duck and mango salsa?
You Can Have It To Go!
some people just don't have any common sense - and to give your savings away - when you only have $5k to your name - you give it to someone who says you won a lottery in the VIirgin Islands - IMHO - that is not having any common sense............
I've got no respect for the scammers, but they are only taking advantage of the stupidity and gullibility of the public and you'll have to admit that they are very good at what they do.It just amazes me no end how stupid people are to fall for this stuff.
The old adage "If it's too good to be true, it probably is" is the simplest remedy to this stuff.
Well I've been through this one, fortunately it was only an 1800 dollar mistake, but it still is bad! I got the letter saying that I had won $300,000.00, and I was ECSTATIC! We all were. (Probably a big reason we really got serious with the lottery... but long story short, thankfully, mine didn't happen the way that most people's do, and they let me make payments on it, but what's the point in reporting it once it's done? The authorities don't give your money back, and we talked to the Royal Mounted Police (mine was Canadian) and they said there's really no way to trace them and no hope to catch them. And that's probably why alot of it doesn't go reported. On the bright side, probably thousands of these things are going out, at least people aren't falling for it AS much as they were. Awareness is being raised. I just can't wait til one of the hundred or so (at LEAST) rings get busted up. At least that will make some of us feel better

Well, if we could do a script to do that, we can create the script to add the revision number as well.

Deep inside I feel that this is wrong and we/I should look for a solution. So never mind... I will try to get a script to do this... Cheers, cheche

As all of us are, I am a huge fan of Brent Weeks and his books, characters, and Writing Advice have drastically influenced and improved my writing style and abilites. I am pretty young, I'm a sophomore in high school, but I really enjoy writing in all styles and genres and will post a lot of writings here. I don't have much to post currently because all of my focus has been on school and the novel I am writing, which I will post excerpts from occassionally, but I'm only on the second draft at the moment.
However, I do want to post a link to my friend's youtube channel. He is a young rap artist who is just getting into actually writing raps and recording them. The reason I am posting this here is because of him, I have grown to appreciate rap as an art form and occassionally write songs for him. The first song I co-wrote will be going on one of his channels either tonight or tomorrow. He is open to critiques because all he is interested in right now is getting better and growing as an artist.
More stuff from both of us to come.
Views: 65
Yeah, I'll definitely send it to you when I finish my second draft. I'll take any advice I can get going in to my third and what I hope will be my final draft. I am not personally new to this site, but I change my passwords on stuff a lot because my little bro likes to try to figure figure out what they are and I forget the old ones, so this account is new.

Pastor Don's Journal Articles
The Rollout
Regardless the merits of, or problems with, the Affordable Care Act of 2010, everybody agrees that the official launching of ObamaCare in the fall of 2013 was a public relations disaster. A huge computer crash prevented people from going on the website and enrolling. If a simple signup doesn't work, with three years to prepare -- critics of the plan had a field day wondering -- how can this new approach to health insurance make things better in our country? President Trump experienced something similar with his controversial executive order on immigration. It was confusing, to say the least, and caught even members of his own administration unprepared. Constitutional questions landed the matter in the courts and this week a new executive order is likely to be drafted to take its place. Again -- approve or disapprove of the policy -- clearly the rollout was sloppy. Chaordic times, indeed.
We began something new at First Baptist, Alexandria on Sunday. Because of the long anticipated, major renovation of our sanctuary, we had to create a new worship space in our Faith Activities Center and move everything there for a period of at least 18 months. Sunday was the first day. Our church is so identified with its iconic sanctuary, where we have worshipped since 1954, there was much nervousness on the part of our people (and me, too) about whether or not our members would accept the changes and keep a positive attitude with the disruption. Would it feel like worship? Would this be a success?
Well, it was -- from the second the countdown clock on the screen reached zero -- all the way to the closing singing of the LORD's Prayer. Our folks were enthusiastic, upbeat, and genuinely excited to be doing something new and fresh. The ushers and greeters were prepared, the choir and orchestra led us beautifully, and the worship was real. The lighting and sound were so much better than what we have had upstairs, and the atmosphere was intimate. I had been calling it a "shakedown cruise", but I honestly don't know how it could have gone any better than it did.
This didn't just happen, of course. Months of praying, planning, and hard work went into Sunday's launch. From our pastors and support staff, Sandy Kenyon, Larry Bull, Tim Bailey and a remarkable audio/visual team, our incomparable music ministry, ushers and deacons. The building committee and Sam Moneyhun preparing the room for this very special kind of use. Archie Doering, as always, at the very center of it all. And our great Bible Fellowship organization proved flexible and mature enough to adapt to new rooms and traffic patterns.
Thing is, these same people and many others are going to have to make the same effort and keep up the same energy level every Sunday for months to come.
When it was all over, many people told me that they had had tears in their eyes during the service. Because of a particular song, maybe. A point in the sermon, possibly. The baby dedication. But certainly that very special moment when, up on the screen, we saw 9 year old Ella Murray's baptism. "He is my LORD", she said, and down she went into the water, identifying with Jesus and signifying for all of us what it means to be "in Christ".
Those are all the things we routinely do in a worship service at FBCA. Only in a different place this time, and for just awhile. We are going to be OK. It works.
But now, it seems, I've got a different worry. Some people told me that they enjoyed the service so much, they're not sure they will want to go back once the renovated sanctuary is ready.
And that can't help our fundraising effort, Chad.

Leather is an elegant material, but unfortunately it tends to pick up odors. Leather couches pick up smoke and pet odors, while leather shoes and watches absorb sweat, giving them an unpleasant smell. While you may not be able to throw your leather items in the washer, you can still clean and deodorize them. White vinegar helps get the smell out, while linseed oil brings back the shine to your leather, restoring its elegant appeal.
Things You'll Need
- Saddle soap
- 4 clean rags
- 1 cup linseed oil
- Saucepan
- Spray bottle
- 1 cup white vinegar
Rub a bar of saddle soap against a wet rag to work up a foamy lather. Use the rag to gently scrub the leather, removing all the excess dirt and grime.
Rinse the saddle soap off the leather with a damp, clean cloth. Allow the leather to dry before proceeding.
Boil 1 cup of linseed oil in a saucepan and allow it to cool completely. Pour the cooled oil into a spray bottle, and add 1 cup of vinegar to the bottle. Replace the sprayer, and shake the bottle to combine the oil and water.
Spray the mixture all over the leather and rub it in with a rag. Allow the mixture to penetrate the leather for approximately 20 minutes.
Wipe the excess oil and water off with a dry, clean rag.

La roue de secours
The project
The Roue de Secours non-profit organization promotes social and professional inclusion by facilitating access to transport. The socially responsible transport platform it has developed in the Besançon region of eastern France offers two types of response to beneficiaries' need:
- An immediate transport solution (scooter, electric bike and car hire under special price conditions)
- Medium-and long-term solutions to a determined schedule (transport skills assessment, information and training sessions, transport needs analysis, preparation for obtaining driving licence, etc.)
Following a survey carried out by Émergence, and the ensuing consensus on the advisability of developing a socially responsible garage in the Montbéliard conurbation area, the non-profit organization put forward the project of setting up a garage jointly with local organizations. A car is today an essential prerequisite for self-reliant transport, but for persons in the most underprivileged situations, cars can be unaffordable, as can auto servicing and repair operations. To help remedy this situation, La Roue de Secours wishes to develop the garage project with economic as well as institutional and social partners, and has approached automotive industry players accordingly. The garage will be opening in early 2017, and the Foundation will be helping it invest in the equipment it needs.share this project

âOI!! Wipe ye bleeding feet!! I've just cleaned there!! What? Speak up boy. Oh you're knew here.. well in that caseâ?
âWelcome to Librarium-Online. I'll give you a quick show round, now stick close as it's rather bloody big about here. Now I ask you not to poke your finger into the cell bars, many occupants bite and I don't have Grephaun close by to sew them back on. Now I'm King Ulrik Flamebeard and yes I'm a dwarf... Who's sniggering at the back?! We have a place you your kind!! Now.. a few questions;
Are you allergic to any of the following;
Cheese or beards?
Oversized humans?
Slobbering giant bugs?
Fairies.. sorry Elves?
No? Good. Right, lets get under way.
Right.. first this hallway is our upper section, this one we have the important folk 'nob nobbing ' it in the Announcements room. Then there's those slaves privileged enough to work up here, we keep them in this area called Help But I'd steer clear... not safe for a young un. Oh and here we also have a lounge area we like to call General Discussion and Off Topic here you'll discover words such as 'Microsoft' and 'real life' whatever they are. Down those steps there we have a number of sections, these deal with groups or clans of some such.. oh and one has topics such as religion going on there. But that one's invite only I'm afraid â elitists.
Now here we lock away the creative ones. Keeps the stupid masses from corrupting them or some such.. this door on the left we whip our slaves in the arts of Painting and Conversion. Further down on the right we have the Rules Development section, those clever enough are locked in there â though we need constant guards. Many try to escape. Foolish.
Ah this floor is our future. Well it's a future, don't ask. Well this is the [b]40,000[/] section, I think the number is suppose to be something like how many years ahead they are. I gave up trying to figure it out about three centuries ago, not worth the hassle. I hear that there's beings in 'Power Armour' up there. Sounds like knights to me, I bet their armour is dwarven made no manling could make them as good. I also hear of large bugs and orks, the latter I may have the solution to. An axe to the head, works down here. Anyway, I can't make up those stairs with me bad legs, so we'll skip the visit there. Next up the normal realms. Here you'll find....
What in Grungni's name?!?! Who gave the snottlings ale? You GROBI!! I discover it's you and you'll be meeting ye bloody Gods quicker than ye'd like!
Sorry about that, this here is a bar we have. No official name but most call it the Fantasy Battles fair name I suppose. Can't stop now though, more to see first. Now this floor is a mix match of stuff, so be sure to read the signs well so you don't get mixed up. Further down we have the room of make believe or as it's generally known the RPG section. Be prepared to meet many with multiple personality complexes here. And the lesser sections below here are the Gamers Hangout, something to do with a computer whatever one of those is. Finally we come to the lesser used rooms; to your left is the Rumours section, for spreading things about â note all Nurgle worshippers are banned from here, we had a nasty case of Nurgle's Rot earlier this year. Then at the far end of the hall is the barter lounge, here you may enter the Trading Area to trade with members; but do so at your own risk. In this door here we have the scribes working away at stories and tales in the Fiction area, maybe even get one to look at our history.
Oh you may also want to know about the slave drivers... umm.. mods I mean. Well here's us -
The main ones to visit if you have problems are;
Deadly Nightshade â This one has a superiority complex, so be prepared to bow and scare before her. But a sacrifice or chocolate wouldn't go amiss.
Hard Aun â The Old Man, a shot of whisky and a warm blanket for his aching joints and he'll be more than happy to help.
Phobos â The hard nut of LO, annoy him and feel his clue-by-four. No that's not an innuendo
Toastee â A fox trapped in a human body. Odd but helpful.
Grephaun - The site's doctor. Very helpful young lass, but be wary do wrong by her and you will find yourself sewn up in a dysfunctional way for she knows the vulnerable parts of the human body. Though I dared say she'd be up to finding out the same for elves or big bugs..
CryoGenFX - Hmm. the less said the better. This one is now admin though..
Vindkall - Another of the Norse beings on here, watch him for he is the sneaky. Also he's army trained.
Oh and of course myself; King Ulrik Flamebeard - The resident green skinned naked, slanneshi dwarf. Well according to some I am.
You'll need these paperwork, just sign on the dotted line â or if you can't write a mark of some kind will do. You'll need to read this first;
Rules and FAQ
I think that's all, now to get back you turn left there, to the end of the corridor then take the second right fork and continue for the count of ten before turning left and finally enter the door on your right.
Thanks for using Kuffy Tours I hope you enjoy your stay with us.â?
Hey there! Welcome to LO. I like the name, I've never really been a fan of the Ultramarines, but the First Company was...cool.

HCIS Firms Are Expected To Rebound After Shakeout
NEW YORK -- Investors have clobbered the shares of health-care information-service companies in recent months because of big earnings disappointments in the September quarter.
But while Wall Street analysts identify the factors leading to these shortfalls as company-specific, they also say that the sector's extremely rapid growth and high valuations help explain why the letdowns have been so frequent and widespread.

The term metrology is composed of Greek words "metron" (measure) and "logos'' (science). Metrology is the science of measurement.
There are three types of metrology.
Scientific or fundamental metrology deals with the organization and development of measurement standards. According to the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), the scientific metrology activities cover the following fields: - the mass; - electricity; - the length; - time and frequency; - the temperature; - radioactivity; - photometry; - ionizing radiation; - acoustics and the quantity of materials; - radiometry.
Industrial metrology ensures the proper functioning of measuring instruments used in industry. Finally, legal metrology originates from the will by the State to ensure fair trade specifically in the field of weights and measures. Therefore, legal metrology is part of the science of measurement relating to the activities resulting from regulatory requirements and applying to measurements, measuring units, instruments, measurement methods. It is conducted by relevant bodies.The main goal of legal metrology is to provide citizens with correct measurements when the measurement relates to trade,environmental protection, health and safety.
Legal metrology in Cameroon is the responsibility of the Ministry of Trade. The Administration in charge of legal metrology in Cameroon is divided between central, regional and divisional services. Central Services which have national jurisdiction are responsible for: - international affairs in the field of metrology; - drafting laws, decrees and orders relating to metrology; - approving the design of measuring instruments; - auditing and monitoring high capacity measuring instruments ; - calibrating tanks and tank cars (tankers); - controlling prepackaged products in factories; - issuing licenses to importers, manufacturers and repairers of measuring instruments; - training personnel in metrology. Regional Services are responsible for: - verifying and monitoring small and medium capacity measuring instruments ; - calibrating tankers; - controlling prepackaged products in shops and supermarkets.Finally, Divisional Services are responsible for controlling prepackaged products in markets.

London, Feb 21 (ANI): Robbers used a stolen forklift truck to rip off an ATM from the wall of a bank in Hatherleigh, west Devon.
According to cops, the trio of robbers fled with the contents of the hole-in-the-wall machine after tearing it from the NatWest bank building, leaving a ten-foot wide hole in the side.
They come dressed in reflective clothing and hard hats to pose as construction workers as they carried out the theft, before fleeing in a 4x4 vehicle and a car.
The amount of cash in the ATM is not yet known.
A police spokesman said the forklift, which has a maximum speed of just 40mph, had been stolen from the Bideford area of Devon last week.
"A stolen red Manitou forklift vehicle was used to penetrate the building and then pull the cash machine from the wall," the News of the World quoted him, as saying. (ANI)

Bob Proctor is widely regarded as one of the greatest living Law of Attraction coaches. Although he became well-known to the masses through his appearance in the hit movie The Secret, he has worked in the area of mind potential and personal growth for about 50 years.
He teaches people to use the power of their mind to create meaningful lives of prosperity, great relationships and spiritual awareness. Despite of his age, Bob certainly has more energy and is in better shape than many much younger people.
The experience of hearing and seeing Bob on stage is bound to raise your level of energy. His presentation is packed with powerful information, inspiration and wisdom to begin to transform the lives of everyone in his audience.
I can't help but laugh when he so hilariously demonstrates how some folks "tiptoe through life only to make it safely to the death". It's such a funny demonstration, but really think of the underlying message there:
It's necessary to take risks, sometimes big ones, to achieve what you really desire. Otherwise, you keep getting the same results your whole life.
That is one of the many important lessons I internalized when I attended Bob's coaching program. I've made big decisions, and I know some people around me think that I'm totally out of my mind because I'm not "playing it safe". But only you know what's best for you, right?
"Change is inevitable. Personal growth is a choice."
- Bob Proctor
Bob Proctor was born in 1934 as the middle child in Northern Ontario, Canada. According to the stories he tells about himself, the first 26 years of his life were purposeless times. He didn't like to study, so he dropped out of high school after a few months there. Then he joined the Canadian Navy. Drifting from one dead-end job to another, he was broke and unwell all that time.
Once a friend gave him a copy of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich and he started studying that book, he started making dramatic changes in his life. He started an office cleaning business, which grew so fast that he soon became a millionaire. It took him many years to figure out why he changed so completely, but he was determined to find that out.
When he got that figured out, he felt that inner urge to share his achievements and that information with the world. He started writing his own self-help books. He also made a decision to become a life coach, and the rest is history, as the saying goes.
Bob Proctor can be seen as a direct link to the modern science of success, streching back to Andrew Carnegie, the great financier and philanthropist. Carnegie's secrets inspired Napoleon Hill, whose book, Think and Grow Rich, in turn inspired a whole genre of success philosophy books. Napoleon Hill passed the baton on to Earl Nightingale, who has since passed it in Bob's capable hands.
From humble beginnings, Bob has created a powerful reputation worldwide by helping individuals and corporations to dramatically improve their results.
He has affected the lives of millions of people of all ages in all walks of life through his books, live seminars, webinars, various courses and programs, and personal coaching.
Bob is the best-selling author of You Were Born Rich. This book is among the best self-help books, and I'm sure it can help you in your pathway to success.
Bob has authored or co-authored many works. For example, It's Not About The Money, Success Puzzle, The Winner's Image, Your Mission in Commission, The Art of Thinking, The Goal Achiever, and Thinking into Results.
Bob is a top-class business consultant, life coach, Law of Attraction teacher, motivational speaker, author, and master thinker. His teachings are largely based on The Science of Getting Rich book.
Books, audiobooks and other products
Note that listening to audiobooks is an effective way to educate yourself while driving or exercising, for example.
Bob is one of the five speakers in the Teachers of The Secret series.
"Tell me what you want, and I'll show you how to get it."

The Staples wedge-style staple remover provides fast, neat fastener extraction.
The flat staple remover is easy to use and is ideal for removing these fasteners without tearing the paper. The magnetic staple remover measures 5 3/4" x 3/4". Its ergonomically curved design assures comfortable operation, even for lengthy tasks.
Documents passed between employees and clients are often stapled together and disassembled repeatedly. The Staples flat staple remover features a smart wedge tip that can smoothly remove staples without bending or tearing the pages, allowing you to separate documents quickly and cleanly. Its comfortable design makes it easy to use even when working with high volumes of paper.
Easy to Maneuver
Traditional claw-style removers yank at tightly fastened staples, increasing your chances of tearing or wrinkling papers. With the Staples flat remover, you can quickly slide the wedge-shaped tip beneath the staple and effortlessly lift it out. The slightly curved design functions like a lever to prevent yanking and keep your papers looking crisp and clean at all times.
Hassle-Free Cleanup
Forget about hunting around for dropped staples. The staple remover is magnetized to attract the staples you pull out. Avoid messy pileups by immediately collecting and discarding the staples.
Comfortable to Use
Unlike the hinged operation of claw-style products, this flat staple remover won't put extra stress on your hands. The remover requires minimal pressure to push staples, providing comfortable operation for lengthy tasks.

The article, "Build Protection Against Risky Behavior," written by Charles E. Mendez III, appears in the Spring Issue of SEEN Magazine. Mendez writes, "Adolescents equipped with higher social emotional competencies are more likely to value themselves and their opportunities. It is essential, then, for us to teach adolescents from an early age to recognize and apply their capacity to set and fulfill reachable goals. The willingness to stake a claim in one's own future provides something to lose, something to protect." Read the full article here.

Too Good Today
The Effects of Nicotine on the Teen Brain
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released a study that showed adolescent e-cigarette use tripled between 2013 and 2014. This new trend means we need to look not just at the negative health effects of smoking but at the overall negative health effects of nicotine on the developing teenage brain.
As with alcohol and other substances, nicotine has an especially harmful effect on the developing teenage brain. Research has shown that nicotine directly impacts monoamine neurotransmitters and the limbic system, parts of the brain necessary for emotion regulation, behavior, and memory. Neural connections are still being determined in adolescence, so the development of these areas could be compromised by the use of nicotine products.
Monoamine transmitters are made up of transmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, all of which are integral to mood. In the journal article, "The Dynamic Effects of Nicotine on the Developing Brain," Dwyer and McQuown write "findings suggest that adolescent nicotine exposure may induce maladaptive learning in emotional contexts, which may lead to life-long mood disorders." An imbalance of any of the monoamine transmitters can result in not only mood disorders, such as depression or bipolar disorder, but even schizophrenia.
Dwyer and McQuown also report "nicotine may play a causal role in the persistence of impulsivity during and beyond adolescence." Adolescence already marks a stage fraught with impulsivity, and using nicotine products just reinforces that circuitry in the brain. And these neural pathways created in adolescence are carried into adulthood.
Furthermore, studies show that teens are more sensitive than adults to nicotine's addictive properties, because the reward center of their brain develops at a quicker rate than the prefrontal cortex. In other words, teens are more likely to take a risk and seek reward, which means they are also more susceptible to negative peer influence.
It is essential that we correct any misperceptions of harm teens have about e-cigarettes by educating them as to the negative health consequences of nicotine and by countering e-cigarette manufacturers' purposeful targeting of youth. Candy flavored nicotine products are no less harmful than cigarettes, contrary to what teens may think. Well informed teens are better equipped to make responsible decisions, resist negative peer influence, and stay free from nicotine addiction in all of its forms.
Social Emotional Learning and Mindfulness
The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley recently highlighted the essential connection between social emotional learning and mindfulness. The center states that by helping children "become aware of and then embody the connection between their emotions, thoughts, and bodily sensations, students are better able to regulate their emotions, which then impacts things such as their behavior, stress levels, relationships, and ability to focus." Practicing social emotional skills in tangible ways helps children become more aware of themselves and others.
Children who take time to think before acting are more likely to make responsible decisions and manage their emotions. Christopher Willard, Tufts psychologist and author of Child's Mind: Mindfulness Practices to Help Our Children Be More Focused, Calm and Relaxed, names several ways in which children may practice mindfulness. Taking deep breaths is one way for children to pause and focus. Willard states that "exercises such as breathing consciously or taking a minute or two to really listen can help a child regulate such feelings as anger and anxiety."
Children can further regulate emotions by learning to identify their own body language as well as the body language of others. A racing heart can be the effect of nervousness or excitement, and a frown can be a sign of sadness or frustration. These physical signs can be cues for children to learn the moments when they may need to pause and relax. Children who are able to recognize these cues in themselves and others are also able to mitigate potential conflict.
Willard further emphasizes the meaningful results when children take a few moments to listen to and observe their surroundings. He encourages another tangible practice in which children "listen carefully for about a minute and then name five sounds he heard while being quiet." In this way, children practice how to pause, reflect, and gain awareness of self and others.
The Greater Good Science Center asserts that such "mindfulness practices connect students' inner and outer experiences and help them see the congruence between the two." Children who are able to stop to think, to pause and reflect, are better able to live with assurance in the moment and build happy and peaceful futures.
Spiked Heroin Leads to Rise in Fatalities
Prescription opioid abuse has risen significantly over the past decade, leading the federal government and many state governments to instate more stringent laws to reduce access to these drugs. These efforts have been successful in both reducing illicit availability and driving up costs. As a result, addicted users turn to heroin, which is often cheaper and easier to obtain. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, heroin use among young adults aged 18-25 has almost doubled in a recent ten year period. Both heroin and prescription opioids bind to opioid receptors in the brain, producing an effect that diminishes perceptions of pain. These drugs also engage with the area of the brain that involves reward, which could be one cause for addiction.
The biological transition from opioids to heroin is not much of a leap, as The Wall Street Journal recently reported the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration "has found more heroin laced with fentanyl, which is typically used to treat severe pain in people with chronic illness." Heroin suppliers use this additive because it increases the heroin's potency in an effort to keep street prices down and consumption up. However, heroin laced with fentanyl is that much more lethal.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the DEA administrator reports that drug "incidents and overdoses related to fentanyl are occurring at an alarming rate throughout the United States and represent a significant threat to public health and safety." Indeed, it poses a significant risk to law enforcement officials who come into contact with it, because it can be unintentionally inhaled or absorbed through the skin during drug busts.
Fentanyl is one of many prescription opioids that are abused, maybe particularly so because it can be prescribed in the form of a patch. Users cut up the patches and place them under the tongue for a quicker and more intense effect.
With the rise in prescription opioid abuse and heroin use, we are reminded of the crucial need to prevent the misuse of prescription medications. Drug manufacturers are working to develop analgesics that are not opioids and ultimately less likely to be abused. Additionally, as prevention educators, we can educate children as to the safe use of prescription medications and correct children's misperceptions of harm surrounding inappropriate use of prescription medications. Children who learn from an early age to take a responsible approach toward the safe use and handling of prescription medications are less likely to abuse them, and so they are less likely to develop a dependence on opioids that could ultimately lead to a possible heroin addiction. Drug awareness education coupled with the tools children need to make responsible decisions and resist negative peer influence, all equip children with the resiliency they need to stay true to a drug-free life.
Human Bonding as a Preventive Factor
Conventional wisdom suggests isolation rises out of addiction, but studies have shown that in fact addiction may be a result of social isolation. Of course, there is a vicious cycle that then develops; isolation breeds addiction which breeds further isolation.
Professor of Psychology, Bruce Alexander, conducted an experiment in the 1970s that has become known as the Rat Park experiment. Previous experiments revealed rats in isolation chose cocaine-laced water over plain water, so much so their addictions to the substance eventually lead to overdose and death. But Alexander wanted to test his theory which suggested rats would be less likely to become addicted to drugs in a social environment, so he created an engaging and social habitat. His rats were offered both plain and cocaine-laced bottles of water. Surprisingly, the inhabitants of Rat Park shunned the cocaine-laced water. These social and happy rats did not feel the draw of the drug their isolated counterparts felt.
Addiction psychologists assert that human beings have a deep desire to bond, and if they can't connect with other people, they may turn to something to fill that void. The trouble is the escape is only a temporary surrogate for the lack of human connection. Using alcohol or other drugs to escape or turning to sugar for comfort or other forms of distraction betrays an addictive yearning to connect. And so begins the journey to addiction, further isolating the person from the meaningful human bond they fundamentally need and miss.
So what does this all mean for prevention? If isolation is likely to spawn addiction and a social environment fosters resilience, then it is essential that children learn how to develop and maintain healthy relationships from an early age. Fundamental social emotional skills equip children with the ability to bond with positive peers in a meaningful way. Effective communication and emotion management are key players on the road to building relationships. With these social emotional competencies in place, children can successfully maintain their forged connections. And a social environment clearly acts as a preventive measure against risky behaviors.
Let these studies shine a light on the necessity for us to give children the tools to build strong foundations. Children who connect with others in meaningful ways are happier, healthier, and ultimately more resilient. They in turn stay true to social lives free of drugs and violence.
Executive Function
Executive function development is essential for success in college and career. These executive function skills consist of working memory, mental flexibility, and self-control—all necessary components for higher education and the workplace. The most effective time for development of these skills is in early childhood, but they may be fostered well into the teen years.
According to the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, early childhood experiences "affect the development of brain architecture, which provides the foundation for all future learning, behavior, and health." In the early years, there is a process of neural connection proliferation that is necessary for the development of three areas of the brain: the amygdala, the hippocampus, and the prefrontal cortex. These three areas are responsible for emotional behavior and regulation, short term memory, and self-control.
Following the process of proliferation, the brain prunes neural pathways. In other words, learned behaviors are defined. It is crucial, then, that early childhood experiences bolster executive function. Building executive function requires a three-pronged approach. This may be achieved through implementing a curriculum that ensures children gain access to education and creative activities delivered by an adult role-model who displays high executive function.
Adult role-modeling plays a large role in learned behaviors. The Center on the Developing Child states that "even under stressful conditions, supportive, responsive relationships with caring adults as early in life as possible can prevent or reverse the damaging effects of toxic stress response." Care-givers and teachers may not have control over a child's family environment, but they can play their part in the healthy development of children's executive function by displaying their own executive function skills.
Activities that encourage creative play are another way in which children learn executive function skills. Card games, storytelling, and songs that repeat and add on exercise working memory; movement challenges, such as yoga or freeze dance, practice self-control; children can make their own play props or engage in matching card games to foster cognitive flexibility.
The Center on the Developing Child says helping provide "the support that children need to build these skills at home, in early care and education programs, and in other settings they experience regularly is one of society's most important responsibilities." It is never too soon to start helping children develop the executive function foundation they need to prepare for success in life.
Benefits of Interactive Learning
Interactive activities are an integral part of social emotional learning. The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) states that "learning is an intrinsically social and interactive process: it takes place in collaboration with one's teachers, in the company of one's peers, and with the support of one's family." Active and participatory lessons encourage children to learn social emotional skills firsthand. For the most effective social emotional skill development, it helps if activities are not limited to school but are also extended into family and community.
Children who are socially and emotionally competent are skilled in five core areas: self-awareness, responsible decision-making, emotion management, social awareness, and healthy relationship building. By developing these skills through engaging activities, children are better equipped to stay on track to their goals, face potential challenges, and resist negative peer influence to engage in risky behaviors.
What types of activities can be incorporated into lessons to develop social emotional skills? Cooperative learning designs that promote bonding—such as games, role-plays, and skits—are a great way to reinforce what students have learned. Through hands-on experience, students can practice these essential skills. Interactive games promote teamwork, giving students the opportunity to work on group decision-making, develop relationship skills, and resolve conflict peacefully. Real life scenarios enacted through role-plays and skits give students the opportunity to apply the skills they have learned, deepening their understanding of self and others.
Interactive social and emotional learning helps children internalize the skills they will carry with them through life; they will in turn develop strong character that will give them the resiliency they need to live happy and healthy lives.
Marijuana Use Linked to Lower IQ
Last week we looked at the effects of alcohol on the developing teenage brain, and marijuana use is just as detrimental. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) recently released a study that researched the long term effects of marijuana use. The results included MRI scans that observed physical changes in the brain and reveal chronic marijuana use can actually lower the IQ by five points. This is particularly the case when use begins at an early age. Because the human brain continues developing into the mid-twenties, regular exposure to toxic substances can hinder its healthy maturation. It is essential, then, that we talk to children at an early age about the potential damage of the use of this substance.
According to a CNN report, Dr. Susan Weiss, associate director of Scientific Affairs at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, says the PNAS study "showed that the orbitofrontal cortex, an area involved in reward, decision making and motivation, was smaller in heavy users." Teens engaging in marijuana use risk interfering with their ability to function at peak capacity and are therefore robbed of meeting their fullest potential.
With recent trends of increasing legal access to marijuana, it is timelier than ever that we talk to children and teens about the effects of the drug's use on the brain and body. In the eyes of the teenager, the evolving legal status implies a green light to use. However, just because something is legal does not mean it is necessarily safe. Informing teens of the negative consequences of substance use, as well as equipping them with the skills they need to make responsible decisions, can keep them healthy and substance-free.
Still Growing
The development and application of social emotional skills, coupled with drug awareness education, inform teens of the serious negative consequences of underage drinking, substance use, and other risky behaviors, while preparing them to resist experimenting in the first place. What until recently was not fully understood is underage drinking and substance use can alter the healthy development of the teenage brain with long-term consequences on aptitude executive function.
A recent Fresh Air interview on NPR, featuring Frances E. Jensen, MD, discusses the topic of her new book, The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide to Raising Adolescents and Young Adults. Her book explores the nuances of the developing teenage brain, and outlines the ways in which teenage substance use affects that development. Jensen says, "The effects of substances are more permanent on the teen brain. They have more deleterious effects and can be more toxic to the teen than the adult."
Contrary to past myths of the physical resiliency of teens, current research shows the human brain is developing well into the twenties. Therefore, underage drinking and substance use can potentially impair development and lead to permanent brain damage. Jensen says "drinking can actually kill brain cells in the adolescent brain where it does not to the same extent in the adult brain." The frontal cortex—the area of the brain directly related to memory and decision-making—is one of the last areas to develop. Teens engaging in drinking or substance use risk compromising their level of executive function.
Children equipped with solid social emotional skills sets, as well as an awareness of the negative consequences of underage drinking and substance use, are better able to make responsible decisions that will keep them on track to reaching their goals. They realize there is much at stake, and they are well-informed to make choices that will keep them substance-free.
Speak Up... And Lend an Ear
Effective communication skills are key to resilient living. Communication is the means by which we interact with the world, and how we communicate plays a large role in determining the outcomes of our actions and relationships. Children who communicate effectively are better able to make responsible decisions, stay true to their goals, and develop healthy relationships, because they can advocate their needs, seek help when necessary, and reject unhealthy pressures and influences.
Dr. Carol Seefeldt writes in Scholastic that with effective communication skills "children can listen and learn from others, discuss ideas, and gain ever more knowledge of the world in which they live." First, children must learn to differentiate healthy and unhealthy communication styles in order to adopt an effective communication style of their own.
Our body language speaks to others before we even speak. For example, an interviewee who enters an interview with slumped shoulders and averted eyes will come across too passive. However, an interviewee who enters the interview with good posture and direct eye contact will come across assertive. The interviewer will take this into consideration and formulate an impression before the interviewee has a chance to answer questions. By discerning between these two communication styles, children learn that assertive behavior is more direct and honest, thereby portraying a confidence and readiness to perform.
Listening skills are also essential to effective communication. Children learn how to listen by mirroring those who listen to them, but an understanding of the role of non-verbal cues conveys a message to children as well. Dr. Seefeldt writes that educating children by "fostering the conventions of communication, helping children learn to look, to take turns, and to negotiate verbal conflicts" develops an understanding of what it means to empathize with others. Teaching children to identify and adopt healthy listening skills, such as focusing on what the speaker is saying, smiling and nodding, and asking clarifying questions prevents miscommunication and facilitates stronger relationships.
The above skills lead to the capacity to develop healthy relationships. As Dr. Seefeldt writes, "Children who look at the child they are talking with, who understand turn taking when communicating, and who know how to solve verbal conflicts are those who make and keep friends easily." Effective communication helps children navigate challenging situations and peacefully resolve conflict. As a result, they are more likely to share their ideas and feelings with others, which promote enhanced cooperation and healthy bonding.
Children who are ready to communicate effectively present themselves confidently in both manner and speech. They are emboldened to make responsible decisions that will keep them on track to reaching their goals, making friends along the way.

21 weeks, 6 days
The halfway point has come and gone and I have to say -- things are still going wonderfully! :) Today I am 22 weeks, 6 days and have no sickness to report; however I am much more tired. My belly is steadily growing and I am truly loving it...although, it is becoming more and more uncomfortable to sleep. No weird food cravings or aversions, and my weight seems to be right on track. As of this week, Baby Gavin is super active and feeling my baby boy's movement is a priceless blessing. I am especially thankful for this since I've been worried that something was wrong since I couldn't feel him up until recently. My husband has been extra helpful on days where I'm just pooped, and my cats have stopped pouncing on my stomach. Life is good. :)
20 weeks, 2 days
I'm a bit of a mess, but eh? C'est la via. :)

Hello, Fellow Rehab Clinicians…
Have you ever wondered why you were born?
I thought I knew, when I became a physical therapist – but 30 years later I learned that I was born to invent and to continue to develop TheraTogs systems.
In the 12 years since we introduced them to the world of rehabilitation, they've found their place in neuromotor education and re-education, in orthopedic development, and in the management of children on the autism spectrum and with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
I'm amazed and gratified to note that, as of this writing, TheraTogs are used in 46 countries!
TheraTogs were created to contribute to the effectiveness of treatment sessions by granting therapists extra guiding "hands" in the way of a cozy, Velcro-sensitive "ectoskeleton" and straps, and to deliver customized "training-by-doing" between therapy sessions. They manifest the principles of the most fundamental sciences supporting clinical rehabilitation and the established therapeutic approaches. We're certain of the merits of their design and purpose.
As I intended to help the wearers and their attending clinicians to reach new levels of success together, TheraTogs, Inc. has also devoted considerable energy to educating our colleagues and to supporting researchers – those of you who have come to this page. This section of the website is for you!
Beverly (Billi) Cusick, PT, MS, C/NDT, COF – TheraTogs Invetnor and Chief Medical Officer
One last thing: If there are other resources or functions that would make this Clinicians section more useful to you, please let us know.

If you are looking for information on my courses in Wales this year.....well, I had one course planned (see below for details, as I will be running it next year) but it has been cancelled (not enough bookings to guarantee minimum numbers of students). So nothing in Wales now till 2016.
I am teaching "A Name but no Form: The Mysterious Triple Heater" in Vienna on 4/5 July 2015 at the Europaisches Shiatsu Institut.
The five Spiritual Capacities are linked to the most subtle dimension
of human Ki, our consciousness. Western science has concentrated on
examining our brain, nervous system and behaviour patterns. Eastern
thought, on the other hand, has taken the metaphysical route and
examined our experience of consciousness itself, and the ways in
which it is embodied in our human lives. How are we present? How do
we experience? How do we endure? How do we direct our intention?
In this way the concept of the Five Shen developed. The spiritual
capacities are all aspects of the one Shen, sometimes translated as
Spirit, sometimes as Mind. Each has its own role in our lives,
channelling the Universal Shen into distinct abilities that
illuminate the practical tasks of living in a physical body in the
material world. Some of the Five Spirits are transcendent, others
are linked to our individual body or destiny.
In this workshop we will look at the meaning of the Five Shen,
exploring the Chinese characters in order to understand them in their
fullness. We will begin to identify them in ourselves. We will look
at ways in which we can work with their life-giving energies in
supporting our receivers.
This workshop will be a mixture of
Qigong and Huagong exercise, personal reflection and meditative
group work to help us identify the meaning of the Five Shen for
ourselves and others
adapting our practical Shiatsu techniques to help us connect with
the Shen level of each meridian function
"Five Spirits" will take place at the Ceridwen Centre,
Carmarthenshire, www.ceridwencentre.co.uk. from Monday 20th April in
the afternoon to Friday 24th April after lunch. There will be 24
hours of class time.
The workshop costs £400 inclusive of food and accommodation, or £350 if you book before
the 1st March. Please email me via the contact page for a booking
form or for more information.

It would seem there are two main types of people: those who view retirement as a well-earned rest for a life well-worked, where cranking the handle on the recliner is the apex of adventure they desire; and those who continue to challenge themselves, mind and body, seeking to test limits and extend boundaries.
Bill Nikolai, mild-mannered librarian by day (more on that later), is the proto-typical limit tester and boundary extender.
Congratulations to Sharon McKenzie, the final of three Makeover contestants to undergo a transformation at the 55+ Lifestyle Show, held on September 22, 2016 in Vancouver.
Sharon of North Vancouver is a happily married 58-year-old mother of two: Sara, 22, is a recent SFU graduate; and Scott, 20, is currently studying Engineering at Langara.
I thoroughly enjoyed this latest publication. I have kept quite a few of the articles, for myself as well as to share with others. My Danish sister-in-law, who lives in Edmonton, will love the "Finding Hyggee In Denmark" story, by James Ellsworth. I recently gave her a book on Hygge so this is timely. The Legacy Giving article by Amber Adams clearly talks about the types and timing of charitable donations. And Pat Nicol always connects - sharing her thoughts on living joyously.
Still more: Sharing Family Stories, by Diane Salter (I'll be sharing this with my Mom, brothers and their wives) and I'm planning to buy Mike McCardell's book: "None of This Was Planned", as talked about in the article Lauren P. MacLellan contributed. And all of the other articles were meaningful too! The Angel For A Day, by Kate Robertson, is so very inspiring and encouraging - after reading what Diane Falk has done in the medical profession to help patients and their families.
So really, this entire magazine is full of valuable information about valuable people. I'm just feeling bad now because I'm not listing the rest of the terrific articles...but the good news is they are all online to read!
Thank you for presenting such quality contributions and feel-good reading.

If you haven't taken time lately to study who is buying your product or service, you may be surprised to discover that one of the most prominent drivers in today's economy is women over the age of 55. If 55+ women are not on your marketing radar, now is the time to revise your strategy. This is an opportunity too big to miss. Companies that fail to acknowledge the purchasing power of this demographic will find their market share eroded by those companies that make an effort to understand and meet the needs of this influential customer.

The following items are required:
Most items available from a plumbing or builders merchants
- 2 x 50mm waste access plugs
- 1 x 50mm double connector
- 1 x solvent cement (any size as very little required)
- small pot of dark grey undercoat
- small pot of black gloss paint
- small paint brush
- small piece of sandpaper
- roll of camouflage duct tape (fabric in this case, any suitable)
Step 1: Making the Container
Take the solvent cement and using the brush inside the lid (usually) brush a generous amount onto the outside of the waste access plugs and the same inside of the double connector, then press the plug into the connector twisting as you do so that the cement mixes and connects thoroughly.
Repeat this step with both of the plugs, you now have your container.
Close one of the screw tops as tight as you can by hand and then leave for painting. Leave the other screw top lid slightly loose.
Step 2: Painting It Up
Use your sandpaper to scratch across the whole surface to give it a key to improve the adhesion of the paint to be applied.
Paint surface entirely with dark grey undercoat, then two coats of black gloss, be sure to leave 4-6 hours between coats to allow them to dry fully.
Remember to paint over the end you have tightened shut as you only need one opener. Though you can use it later if required. I don't recommend tightening with a wrench or pliers as you want it to break open with hand force when needed.
Step 3: Finishing Touches & MODS
Use your camo duct tape to wrap around the centre, gives the glossy finish a grip to hold on to and it looks better blended in with a camping pack or EDC kit.
The container itself is now water proof, air tight and holds a fair bit of kit.
See the contents of mine in the next step, but whilst I've used mine as a fire kit container, this can be used for any manner of contents.
Potential MODS to be made:
I've thought of drilling a hole through the top and side and adding a carabiner, keyring or paracord lanyard, but the holes would compromise the kit to water, this could work if you put the contents into a ziploc bag first to keep the water out.
Paracord could be wrapped around the centre instead of the camo tape, and used to attach to a belt or pack.
I've added a strip of sandpaper to the bottom of mine with self adhesive tape, this can be used to strike the matches I keep inside.
I've added a button compass to the inside of the lid with super glue.
Step 4: My Fire Kit Contents
Contents of the fire kit:
- Fresnel (magnifying) lens
- Ferro rod & striker on paracord lanyard
- Promithi lightweight folding knife
- Lighter with integrated LED torch
- Strike anywhere waterproof matches in case
- Cotton balls soaked in vaseline and put into plastic bag
- Sachet of burn gel
- Match striker pad
- Button compass
Thanks for reading and I hope you have fun making your own kits!

Last week, Bigg Boss created a strong example by throwing Om Swami out of the house after he went one step further and threw pee on the contestants. Salman Khan has repeatedly slammed the baba for his irritating mannerisms on the show.
Once Swami Om was evicted from the show, he has gone on a never ending rant. And now, after he claimed that he's slapped Salman inside the smoking room, he has apparently threatened to create a ruckus and halt the Bigg Boss 10 finale from happening.
Now, a video has gone viral on the Internet where Swamiji has alleged and threatened that he would beat up Salman when he meets him next. Salman Khan, as expected, has maintained a dignified silence on the issue.

Dec. 11, 2009
By Alan Rakowski
Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Travis Franklin and Dorian Green each topped 20 points, and a raucous crowd of 5,293 fans helped propel Colorado State to a memorable win over rival Colorado Thursday night at Moby Arena, 77-62.
The win was CSU's first over the Buffs since 2006. The Rams (6-3) improved to 4-0 at home, registered their first victory over CU coach Jeff Bzdelik and gave the CSU athletic department wins against the Buffs in football and men's basketball for the first time in three years.
But CSU Head Coach Tim Miles will most remember the Moby Arena atmosphere Thursday, including a sold-out student section.
"I thought it was a phenomenal environment," said Miles. "I thought the student participation was unreal. I thought they came out and provided a high-energy place."
CSU fueled that energy by taking an 18-17 lead midway through the first half and never trailing again, leading the Buffs by as many as 18 points. Franklin's 16 first-half points, en route to a game-high 22, gave CSU a 10-point lead at the break, and the Rams never looked back.
Franklin, who was body surfed by a mob of CSU students on the court after the game, got the night's final rebound before the Rams ran out the clock. That board gave him a double-double, his second and the team's second on the season.
"This is a big game and our fans did a great job," said Franklin, who was the one Ram to have much success against the Buffaloes last season, totaling seven points and nine boards in last year's meeting in Boulder. He finished just two points shy of his career high, 24, which he tallied against San Francisco Nov. 29.
Green, a true freshman point guard who posted an early career-high 21 points, converted a three-point play on the Rams' first possession.
After a late run by Colorado that saw the Buffaloes cut the deficit to seven with 2:46 left in the game, the Rams relied on consistent foul shooting down the stretch, going 8-for-9 from the line in the last 2 minutes, to preserve the win.
The Rams, who had won just two of the last seven meetings, and only 35 of the last 121 against Colorado, played with a tremendous amount of confidence.
"I thought we were aggressive and the aggressor always wins," Miles said.
The Buffaloes (6-4) had a five-point lead at the 15:14 mark in the first half, their largest of the contest. After see-sawing back and forth to open the game, the Rams went on a 14-6 run with just under 12 minutes to go in the first half. The Rams, who came into Thursday's game with a plus-5.7 rebounding margin, outrebounded the Buffaloes 21-12 in the first half. They finished the game with 41 boards, to CU's 27.
While it was Franklin leading the way for the Rams in the first half, Green was the man for CSU in the last 20 minutes. Green, who has converted on his last 20 of 22 free-throw attempts, poured in 13 points in the second half.
When CU looked poised to make a run around the 9-minute mark of the second half, junior forward Andy Ogide electrified the crowd with back-to-back dunks to put CSU back up by 15. The transfer from Ole Miss was key for the Rams again Thursday, dropping 13 points and adding eight rebounds against the Buffaloes.
"We did a good job of being unselfish today," Ogide said. "This is the best win we've had since I have been up here."
Buffaloes junior guard Cory Higgins, who came into Thursday leading Colorado in scoring (20.8 ppg), was held to just two points in the second half, and 12 in the contest. His 12 points, however, were enough to help him reach the 1,000-point milestone for his career (he now has 1,001 career points).
The win marked the first time the Rams have ever defeated Bzdelik, who had coaching stints with the Denver Nuggets of the NBA and the Air Force Falcons of the Mountain West. Bzdelik took over the CU program three years ago.
The CSU women's basketball team looks to sweep the series Friday night as it takes on the CU women at Moby Arena. Game time is set for 7 p.m. MT.
Then, 24 hours later, the CSU men return looking to keep their home record unblemished against Montana on Saturday. Tipoff is also 7 p.m. MT.
