text: RaySafe: worldwide lack of awareness about unnecessary radiation RaySafe i2 for personal dosimetry now available in Australia and Singapore According to RaySafe, medical staff in hospitals and clinics around the world is not yet sensitised enough to the risks of unnecessary radiation. The company is the world's leading supplier of radiation measurement solutions and has now presented its product innovation "RaySafe i2" in Australia and Singapore. RaySafe i2 is an active dosimeter especially for interventional radiology that gives real time insight into radiation exposure. With the help of the dosimetry system, medical staff can immediately adjust their behavioural routines and improve the radiation safety culture in their workplaces. "In the U.S., recent information campaigns have had a large impact raising awareness and motivation to optimize dose among patients. There remains a need for more training and education to give doctors and nurses the knowledge and confidence to work safely in a radiation environment", explains Bart Leclou, Vice President Business Area "Personal Dosimetry" at RaySafe. Since the beginning of this year, RaySafe i2 has already been available in several European countries and in North America. "RaySafe i2 has already attracted a lot of interest in Australia and Singapore", says Bart Leclou. "Real time measurement and analysis are the most important arguments for the professional public." The personal dosimeters are easy to handle, they are maintenance free and can simply be attached to the work clothes. The collected data is sent wireless to the "i2 real time display" that is placed in the examination room, so that all staff members can see their current exposure. Coloured bar charts give an overview of individual dose, making it easy to allocate data to single users. The integrated software not only analyses but also gives access to time stamped dose data. As a result, hospital staff can change their behaviour immediately in order to minimize their radiation exposure. All data is also available to hospital management for further analysis. Studies presented during the RSNA and ECR last year have shown that staff dose can be reduced significantly by using such measuring systems. They are already an integral part at renowned hospitals like the Charité in Berlin, Germany. RaySafe i2, which has been approved in most European countries as well as in the United States and Canada, can be purchased directly from RaySafe or the major x-ray manufacturers. Following the product launch in Australia and Singapore, RaySafe will soon introduce RaySafe i2 in other Asian markets and also plans activities to further raise awareness of unnecessary radiation exposure. According to Bart Leclou, the overall awareness of unnecessary radiation is significantly higher in Europe and North America than in the rest of the world. This is due to recent campaigns like the initiative 'Image Gently/Image Wisely' in the USA by the American College of Radiology and Radiological Society of North America drawing attention to the matter of patient dose. "Due to the growing knowledge among patients, the necessity of certain x-ray examinations is questioned more frequently." But hospital staff still has to pay more attention to keeping their personal dose within the limits, says the RaySafe manager. "The lead apron only covers some parts of the body while others – no less important – are still exposed to the harmful rays." The RaySafe i2 basic package comes with a real time display, four personal dosimeters and a dose viewer software.

After playing some decent volleyball over the weekend, it turned out to be a very disappointing Tuesday night for Peru State.
In its second-straight match against a Wildcat team, the Bobcats were swept by the visiting Culver-Stockton (C-SC) Wildcats. C-SC took the match 25-19, 25-20, 25-20 as the Bobcats played less than inspired in comparison to their weekend effort.
Culver-Stockton improved to 9-15 overall and 4-10 in the Heart of America Athletic Conference (Heart). Peru State fell to 9-20 on the season and 5-7 in Heart action. With the loss the Bobcats fell out of post-season play if the season would have ended last night.
First Set Action
C-SC led for most of the first set as they jumped to a 2-0 lead before Pyper Roseberry (LaVista) put down a kill from Cassidy Davis (Colorado Springs) to score the first point for Peru State. The Wildcats would extend their lead to 10-6 before Roseberry got a block to give the Bobcats their seventh point.
Peru State would eventually tie it at 14-14 on a kill by Grace Frederick (Benkelman) off an assist from Mallory Matthies (Omaha). A Wildcat attack error gave the Bobcats their first lead. Another block assist by Roseberry later would give Peru State its largest lead at 19-17. Following this was a collapse by the Bobcat defense as the Wildcats scored eight straight points for the first set win.
Second Set Action
Roseberry and Davis again would hook up for the first point of the second set to tie it at 1-1 before Darlene Quinonez Holguin (Anthony, N.M.) got a setter dump for a kill.
Peru State would go out to a four-point lead at 14-10 after a Wildcat attack error only to see Culver-Stockton rattle off seven straight point. The Bobcats would never seriously challenge after that point as the Wildcats would go on for the 25-20 set win.
Third Set Action
Again, the early part of the third set was close with Peru State never having more than a one-point lead with the last one coming at 8-7. Again, a run of four point by the Wildcats gave C-SC the lead – one that they would not relinquish.
Team Statistics
Neither team hit the ball particular well as the Wildcats finished with a .141 hitting percentage while Peru State hit a measly .082. Culver-Stockton finished with six service aces and four errors while the Bobcats could only muster one service ace against four errors.
The Wildcats finished with two more digs than Peru State at 72. Culver-Stockton also had two more total blocks as they had eight.
Peru Individual Statistics
Claire Cudney (Marysville, Kan.) was the only Bobcat to finish in double figures in kills as she had 11. Frederick finished with six while Tyra Mollhoff (Lincoln) added five.
Davis had 14 assists while Quinonez Holguin finished with seven.
Alexis Cox (Brighton, Colo.) had the lone service ace for the Bobcats.
Cudney also led the team defensively as she finished with a game-high 20 digs. Cox added 12 while Cheyenne Birkle (Holden, Mo.) finished with 12.
Mollhoff and Roseberry each had two solo blocks while Frederick was credited with one. Matthies and Alyssa Childers (Lincoln) each had one block assist.
Upcoming Contests
All of Peru State's remaining matches are conference play and will be key to whether or not the team makes the post-season tournament.
On Friday, Oct. 18, the Bobcats will be in Marshall, Mo., to face Missouri Valley at 6 p.m. The Vikings have been struggling this season and have only one win against 26 losses. However, Missouri Valley took one set from Benedictine Tuesday night, so they are still fighting.
Then, on Saturday morning, Oct. 19, at 11 a.m., Peru State will face Evangel. The Crusaders started the season with a 14-2 mark, but have gone 5-6 since that time as they are presently 19-8 on the season. They are just one game ahead of Peru State in the Heart with a 6-6 mark.

With the clock ticking towards Children in Need Day on Friday, Carmella de Lucia checks out some of the people and places in South Cheshire going that extra mile to coin in the cash for the charity. Why not go along to the events near you and pledge your support?
AT FITNESS First in West Street, Crewe on Friday, personal trainer Ian Piggott will be doing a sponsored 12-hour workout under the watchful eyes of staff and clients.
In planning to take just four five-minute breaks, Ian will plunge into intense weight training and cardiovascular workouts to raise as much as possible for Children in Need.
Other staff at Fitness First will be joining forces with workers at the Asda store in Crewe on Friday in a 15-hour sponsored bikeathon.
Starting from 7am, staff will be taking it in turns to cycle for 30 minutes without stopping in the hope they will top the hundreds of pounds worth of funds raised at last year's event.
Shoppers will also be able to chat to fitness experts for information on health, nutrition and exercise, as well as pick up free guest passes for the gym and personal training sessions.
SOUTH Cheshire College in Crewe is doing its bit for Children in Need by holding fundraising activities all week to pull in the £s, including taking part in a Skills Challenge in which art and design students will participate in a timed race to create a large mural on hoardings that have been put up around the site. Their challenge is to transform the hoardings into a colourful masterpiece between the hours of 10am and 3pm.
STAFF who turn up for work in suits at one of Nantwich's shop on Friday will be 'fined' for being boring.
But anyone at Bang & Olufsen who arrives in fancy dress as a hero or villain will be let off and invited instead to make a donation to Children in Need.
Tony Smith, dealer principal of the audiovisual specialist in Church Lane, said that either way everyone at the showroom will be raising money for one of the country's best-loved charity events.
"If anyone arrives in their normal work day clothes they will have to pay a fine of at least £5. But if they make the effort to come as a hero or villain we will only expect them to donate £2, although I suspect we might try to get a bit more from them.
"We are inviting our customers to call in to see us on Friday so that they can judge if we really have made the effort and entered into the spirit of things.
"Normally we consider ourselves heroes because we always do our very best for customers, but I suspect there might be a couple of villains lurking in the showroom."
The Nantwich store will be competing with 100 other Bang & Olufsen branches for a prize for the best dressed hero or villain.
Sarah Hazen, from BBC Children in Need, said: "We wouldn't be able to help so many disadvantaged children and young people across the UK without the support of organisations like Bang & Olufsen."

Police in Harrisburg are investigating the city's 11th homicide of the year.
A man was shot and killed outside a popular bar.
Online court documents show that 40 year old Theodore Meriweather Jr. is charged with criminal homicide.
Harrisburg officers say he shot the ex-husband of a woman with which he was involved with.
FOX43 caught up with friends of the man who was shot as well as those who live nearby.
And while some are brushing it off, others came to the scene of the crime Sunday afternoon to say their final goodbyes.
" I just want to send my "condones" out to his family right now," says a friend of the man who was killed.
A close friend of the man who was killed Saturday night was too upset to talk with FOX43 on camera.
But she says he was a good man.
She and her "auntie" came to the scene to pray for a man known on the streets as "Mr. Lump".
"He was a blessed person. Lord Jesus you took him away from us but it feels like he's still here," says the woman.
This cell phone video taken by FOX43's Michael Hyland shows a man being taken into police custody.
It's not confirmed whether this is 40 year old Theodore Meriweather Jr.
Either way, people are stunned the city's homicide number keeps rising.
"It's just a shame," says Issac Schatz as he shakes his head.
Roomates Issac Schatz and John Carroll watched the scene play out from their kitchen door just feet away.
"Cars were all through each alley this way that way, they were on Chestnut too," says John Carroll.
They say the bar where the incident took place has never been a safe spot.
"Just the Pub especially I can't tell ya how many times a week we come out here and see people getting in scruffles, walking down the alley… doing god knows what in this rite aid parking lot," says Schatz.
The men say they've recieved threats before.
They and friends affected feel crime keeps inching closer and closer.
"Senseless, I mean somebody probably lost their life over an argument over a girl or a pool game or something …just a senseless waste of life if you ask me," says Carroll.
"It was a blessing just to see him in my prayers last night," says a close friend of the man who was killed.

The NEA Foundation funds participation in International Society for Technology in Education Conference.
WASHINGTON, DC (August 19, 2014) — Melanie Thompson, a librarian of Thorpe J. Gordon School in Jefferson City, MO, has received a $2,000 Learning & Leadership Grant from the NEA Foundation to attend the International Society for Technology in Education Conference to learn strategies and tools for developing digital-age literacy. Thompson will attend workshops, listen to keynote speakers, and participate in hands-on sessions with leaders of the educational technology field. Upon returning, Thompson will implement strategies for collaboration and share knowledge gained with colleagues and students.
"With these grants, we are supporting educator-driven solutions that contribute to improved student performance in public schools," said Harriet Sanford, president and CEO of the NEA Foundation. "Our support enables educators to engage in a wide variety of innovative approaches to the benefit of students across the country."
Nationwide, the NEA Foundation announced that it is awarding grants to 51 educators across 28 states for a total of $177,000.
The NEA Foundation awards two levels of grant funding, $2,000 or $5,000, for two primary categories of grants to public education professionals: Student Achievement Grants for initiatives to improve academic achievement, and Learning and Leadership Grants for high-quality educational professional development activities.
A team of 20 educators, many former grantees, carefully reviewed all applications and evaluated each one against a set of criteria. Funded educator grants were selected for the quality of the grant proposal ideas and their potential for enhancing student achievement.
Over the past decade, the NEA Foundation has invested more than $7.1 million in teaching grants to support the work of almost 4,500 educators from every state in the country to help students succeed. Each year, the Foundation awards approximately 150 Student Achievement and Learning and Leadership Grants. To learn about these educators' projects, visit the NEA Foundation's
Grantee Archive
. Search for grantees and projects by most recent, grade level, subject, state, or keyword.
The NEA Foundation awards its grants to educators three times a year. The next education grant deadline is October 15, 2014. Application forms and a video with step-by-step instructions on how to apply can be found in the
Grants to Educators
section of the NEA Foundation website.
The NEA Foundation is a public charity supported by contributions from educators' dues, corporate sponsors, and others. The NEA Foundation supports student success by helping public school educators work with key partners to build strong systems of shared responsibility.

GOP House members call Cuomo a 'liar'
ALBANY — Republicans in New York's House delegation say they never heard from Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the run-up to Thursday's vote on the federal tax bill, and that the governor lied when he told reporters that they were caving to party leaders.
Cuomo, who is positioning himself for a possible 2020 presidential bid, continued to denounce the tax overhaul and assailed the four GOP House members from New York who supported it — Tom Reed of Corning, Chris Collins of Erie County, John Katko of Syracuse and Claudia Tenney of Oneida County.
Speaking to reporters after an event on Long Island, Cuomo said: "I talked to all of them and they all had the same line which was, 'Well, you know my political leaders are forcing me to vote for it.' You don't work for your political leaders. You work for the people who elected you."
On Twitter, the House members said that wasn't true.
"I knew the @NYGovCuomo was a bully, but I didn't know he was an outright liar," Reed posted on Twitter. "A true leader tries to address the problems of the people they represent. Clearly the governor can't lead our state out of its problems so how can he expect to be the leader of our nation?"
Added Collins: "The Governor is lying, he never called or spoke to me. If he is lying about something as small as this, you can be assured he is lying about the tax reform legislation passed today."
Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi said in a statement, "The Republican congress people who Governor Cuomo talked to said they were getting tremendous pressure from their leadership to vote yes."
Reed and Collins have said they support the tax bill because they believe it will jump start the economy and that a majority of their constituents will see a tax cut. Cuomo and his fellow Democrats oppose the bill because they say benefits will go to the wealthy, and the elimination of the deduction for state and local taxes unfairly burdens New York.
Cuomo's spokespeople declined to immediately address the discrepancy.
Earlier, GOP Rep. John J. Faso of Kinderhook told POLITICO that he also had not heard from Cuomo or his aides, but simply read the governor's criticisms of the bill in the media. Faso voted against the tax bill.
"They should close [the state's] Washington office, because it doesn't communicate to members of Congress," he said.

Northwood shake-up at Gresley
Story courtesy of
Gresley Rovers manager Frank Northwood has announced three new arrivals at the Moat Ground – and three departures.· In .. comes former Port Vale coach Alan Philpott as Northwood's right hand man.
· In .. comes former Derby County left back Martin Dick from Borrowash Victoria and
· In .. comes highly rated striker Paul Acklam also from Borrowash. But
· Out .. go first team coach Jeff Bourne, midfield player Guy Hall and winger Gary Stevens.
Announcing the changes last night, Northwood said: "Next season is a make-or-break season one for Gresley and the change of coach is intended to make us more professional."
On the playing side, Northwood has decided to dispense with the services of Hall, former Burton Albion favourite who became a first team regular after joining Gresley midway through last season.
Stevens, a much-vaunted signing from Willenhall, has not been in contact with Northwood about next season.
But Northwood, who plans to build up a bigger squad for next season's crack at the Banks's League title, has surprised many pundits by persuading two of the Derby area's top non-league players to come to the Moat Ground.
Dick (25) spent four years at the Baseball Ground as a Derby County player while Acklam (26) is a prolific goalscorer desribed by Northwood as a 40-goals-a-season man.

Killer Brownies
If you really want great raves on your next batch of brownies, throw out the store box version and make them from scratch.
These brownies are my family's favorite. The taste is rich and well, chocolatey. Something no box mix can achieve, in my opinion. This batter goes together quickly. These are moist and dense because I let the chocolate mixture cool completely before adding it to the dry ingredients. When baked, cool, then cut into squares and put into cellophane or a decorative box; they make a great gift from your kitchen.
Best Killer Brownies
Makes 16
3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
5 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons water
One twelve ounce package milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2/3 cup chopped walnuts (or other nuts of your choice)
Preheat the oven to 325F
Line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch square pan with aluminum foil. Brush the foil with melted butter or baking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, add the sugar and water and mix until well combined and the sugar is melted. Stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chips and the vanilla and stir until the mixture is smooth. Allow to cool completely then stir in the eggs one at a time until well blended and the remaining chocolate chips.
Add the chocolate mixture to the bowl with the flour and combine well. Stir in the nuts.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a cake tester comes out just a bit wet. Do not overbake the brownies. They will settle some when taken from the oven and placed on a cooling rack.
Cool completely then cut into squares.
These can be frozen without cutting into squares first. Let defrost when ready to serve, then cut.
Italian CookingExactly what I was looking for to make on Christmas Eve! A very timely find. Thank you so very much. -b

Nominate Sister Roma for SF Pride's Grand Marshal!
In her 25th year as one of the most outspoken and widely recognized members of San Francisco's Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence, Sister Roma, 'the most photographed nun in the world', has been nominated to be San Francisco's Grand Marshal of pride this year.
As an active and influential member of the San Francisco (and beyond) LGBTQ community, Sister Roma has helped to raise over $1M dollars in her fight against HIV/AIDS, homophobia and equal rights. I've only had a little bit of face to face time with Roma, but sometimes that's all it takes, when I heard she was up in the poll I immediately cast my vote.... and...
Maybe we can get Roma to do an interview and tell us all about the past 20 years in the SF scene.. ya?.

Anyone who travels knows this first barrier when arriving to a new place. This barrier is native speech of course!
None of adults wants to become voiceless suddenly because of language barrier. A riddle: universal language, neither English, nor Esperanto. What's the language? The answer is: body language – your hands and face expressions, gesticulation in general. This will help in some situations. Unfortunately, it is useless when asking more detailed questions concerning living or everyday problems. Quite frankly, as a newcomer I would not have any idea how to ask: "where's the foreigners office, my visa is about to expire". Language is the basic tool, useful not only for integration.
For years I have been telling my friends that if they have to quarrel anywhere in Poland, they should do it in Polish. For its effectiveness and to lighten the atmosphere (this however not always work). You know, who doesn't like this adorable accent of a foreigner? An accent of Pole speaking French or Wolof (Senegalese language), Senegal or Vietnamese chatting in Polish. It is a pure pleasure for natives to listen to newcomers' charming accent, especially during their first weeks in Poland. I remember my stay in Polish Language college for foreigners in Lódź. First weeks in dormitory No. XIII after the beginning of the course were amazing. We were playing football on the back of the building, foreigners from: Cameroon, Mali, Senegal, Morocco, Madagascar, Panama, Nigeria, Guyana, Vietnam… and we were breaking all of grammar bones of Rej's language. "Hej, kolega, daj piłka!" was the most frequent sentence heard on the football pitch. Not to mention our chats in dormitory's kitchen. I wonder why any director have't made a comedy about foreigners' first month in Poland yet.
Language is not as massive barrier as it seems. At least not for all foreigners. For many newcomers form sub-Saharan part of Africa, it is just an another flower in the rich linguistic garden. It is rare to meet an African form the south of Sahara who knows only one language. People I have met in Warsaw know 2 or 3 languages. English, Portuguese or French are in common use by students; on better or a bit worse level by other immigrants. Add 1 or 2 ethnic languages to these western ones and you become a polyglot. This makes new language acquisition much easier.
Coming back to a language as a primary integration tool for foreigner, reminds me of workshops of my group during two previous Migration Policies forums in Cracow and Lublin. We had a long discussion on how to help immigrants to learn Polish. There is only one solution: this should be mandatory and free of any charge. Secondly: it is necessary to overcome mental barrier, and this especially concerns Poles themselves, and the way they think about their language as a foreign one. The difference is subtle, but crucial. Such attitude allows to lower the integration barrier.
But language will not satisfy all of the needs, sure thing. What about a job? Not to mention renting a flat, insurance, education and social assistance.
First things first. Immigrant is an active person. I am not speaking about refuges who are forced to leave their countries by other reasons than economic. Plans, ambition, determination and the cooperation with host society should go along well. Unless the host society turns out to be inhospitable!
Job and language are crucial aspects of this unplanned meeting of immigrant with Poles. Job solves many problems: flat, insurance, school for children. The most important is that employed person does not need social assistance. Prime Minister of the United Kingdom accused Poles of taking advantage of those founds. This was quite recently, before May elections to European Parliament. Personally, I think that immigrant always looks for employment. Anywhere in the World, whether it is a group of Mexicans climbing barbed wires on the US border, or Africans waiting for right moment to reach Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla on the Moroccan territory to find themselves in Schengen Area; or Poles traveling (on different basis) to England or Ireland, all those people want to find a job. All of them offer their hands and experiences to the host society.
To the number of integration barriers I also count atmosphere in offices and institutions that foreigners must pay visit to. It is impossible to skip Office for Foreigners etc. Kindness in these stressful places is more than welcome. Even a person who has never traveled abroad, has experienced such stress e.g. when taking various exams. Sitting on a corridor waiting for professor to call your name. Stress is at extremely high level and in case of a person waiting for a decision on a stay, this level may be even doubled. Certainly, the situation is getting better. I remember queues in Offices for Foreigners on Krucza and Andersa streets. Today those queues are on Długa street (the office is mobile just like its customers – nomads). I have heard from my fellow-countryman that some group of foreigners collect significant amount of queue numbers (this must be well organized group) and then trade them. I thought that the problem with queues has ended. I was sure that the electronic system with numbers will eliminate this pathology.
During the last Cities Migration Policies forum in Lublin we have discussed the problem of language acquaintance of workers in offices concerned with legalization of a stay or employment of foreigners. This is really annoying, especially in smaller towns. But still I believe that the change is about to come as the immigration policy is not in its infancy.
A propos the term "third countries". When I hear "the third", comes to my mind a poem by La Fontaine about two thieves and a donkey (published in 1668). The thieves were arguing about stealing the donkey. When the fight was getting fiercer and fiercer, came the third one and took the animal. This is a poem from the times of primary school in Dakar. "The third one" has dual meaning here: on one hand he resembles reconciliation, but cunning on the other. I do understand that the host country is " the first one", "the second one" stands for other EU states. In the end is "the third". Thought provoking!
Citizens of third countries have no voice: participation in political life is extremely important element of integration strategy. Participation in elections, deciding on local authorities, full participation in social organizations is considering foreigners as citizens. As the aim of integration is harmony between foreigners and host society, what is the argument against letting people speak on matters of their own? One works, pays taxes, cofounds pensions; this is one of the reasons why Europe needs immigrants. Why such person cannot have the right to decide about issues concerning own district or community?
We know well that the integration is a matter of local policies. Only this may provide reasonable effects. Sure, the state creates migration policy, proposes solutions on system and institutions basis, but sooner or later local policies do the job. This is because integration is territorial issue.
The integration barriers may be disassembled, we may get get rid of fences, lower some of them. This will allow immigrants to feel comfortable. This comfort is necessary for a human, it changes the attitude and allows to feel attachment to a new place. This is what integration is about.
Do Immigrants Engage in the Actions Implemented for Them?

Polish organisations have submitted applications on behalf or for the benefit of immigrants on numerous occasions. In the very beginning, it should be emphasised that there is an obvious qualitative difference between applications "on behalf" and "for the benefit." As for the former, there is certain cooperation between an organisation and a group of immigrants. This means that there are immigrants in a group which works on the general idea of the project, its preparation and goals. A project "for the benefit" of immigrants, by contrast, sounds worse in my opinion. Still, much depends on the area of activity.
The European Fund for the Integration of Third-Country Nationals (EIF) was launched in Poland in 2007. In the first years of its functioning, the Fund seemed to me a suspicious, even Mafia-like entity. Everyone kept too quiet about it. Its members did not appear in the media. There were no promotional campaigns, posters or anything that would have informed Poles about how they could help immigrants to integrate with the new society.
Insured immigrants

My friend once told me, "Be more wary of the tax office than of the police." In retrospect, it seems to me that he forgot to add that no one had ever won with the Polish Social Insurance Institution, ZUS for short in Polish. I had no idea what kind of institution it is. This sounds strange but that was really the case at the time. I had never been employed on a full time basis. Common sense told me: "Dude, what is a social insurance pension for immigrants?"
Over five years ago, being in a hurry, I took the wrong train. This sometimes happens when you are late but know which platform the train departs from. The train was supposed to have gone to Zakopane. It turned out that that it was an express to ZUS. That's how troubles began, much fuss about with money and insurance.
It has always puzzled me why insurance is obligatory. Why can't you insure yourself there where you want or put aside a sum of money on your bank account to use in the event of an illness or accident. Some procedures, however, have to be completed "ex officio." That's always the case when something is regulated by laws and regulations.
Social Insurance Institution. In Polish, ZUS for short. I am allergic to the very abbreviation, so popular in Poland. By no means is ZUS brave. Not all artists know that their performances are treated as a form of economic activity by ZUS. It's enough that you are on the register of artists held by the Ministry of Culture (you don't have to either have a NIP or REGON number or keep the books as is the case with a typical economic activity). As for me, ZUS told me to pay the insurance contributions for the previous years. A considerable sum of money had accumulated in no time (I wish it had been the Polish national lottery). Even installments were of little help because the law prohibits spreading payments over a period longer than five years. It is something that is called "voluntary" health insurance! A social security fund, health insurance, a labour fund … I don't remember how many times I had to fill in, with capital letters and numbers, the blank spaces below these phrases sounding like
For several days, I was considering an idea of bringing the case before the European Tribunal of Human Rights in Strasbourg. Something was definitely amiss with my case. Finally, my warm feelings towards the country on the Vistula River prevailed. I didn't want to do anything against the country that had received me so warmly some years ago. After all, when any case is brought before international institutions, the image of the country gets tarnished to some extent. I had to pay even though the validity of the request made by ZUS was doubtful. The case, however, was later brought before the European Commission on the request of ZUS after I had submitted an application for redemption of the debt. Halfway through 2014, I already see the end of the stairway or maybe it's the terminus of the train I wrote about in the beginning. At this point I finish my personal story.
I'm thinking of making use of my six-year-long experience: various contacts, meetings, appeals, applications for spreading out the payments, submitted to ZUS. I'm thinking of piecing it all together in order to organise meetings with international students and immigrants all over Poland. These will be workshops, during which I will talk about my own ignorance in the face of the significance of the situation. In fact, ZUS and the tax office are both equally inaccessible.
Every student and immigrant (if he or she works) is obliged to secure himself or herself. In the beginning, it is obviously far more important to complete formalities required to obtain a visa and register our residence. An official announcement published by ZUS is as follows: "If a person insures himself or herself voluntarily, he or she is required to report to ZUS the fact of having concluded a voluntary health insurance contract with the provincial division of the National Health Fund (NFZ for short in Polish)." That's what I did a few years ago, believing that I would be paying insurance contributions from that moment on. It turned out that ZUS had charged money even before it even learnt about my existence. That's what immigrants should strive to avoid. It's not worth their nerves, a constantly empty bank account and unnecessary installments. I will talk to them about health insurance. Similar meetings, workshops and panels will be particularly helpful for those who are responsible only for themselves (have no children and spouse, and are in good health for the time being). These people probably are not especially interested in matters concerning insurance.
I think that workshops concerning such questions as why the social insurance system is so important, how and where you can insure yourself in Poland, whether you can check if the employer has insured the employee (something that is particularly important for footballers playing in lower leagues), to what benefits an insured person is entitled to and how old-age and disability pensions are granted may prove very useful. Even ZUS itself could be willing to send its experts to answer questions of young immigrants. Someone should explain to them that it's beneficial for them to pay insurance contributions. I'm curious what percentage of immigrants takes into consideration the perspective of spending their retirement in Poland. We can fall ill or have an accident today or tomorrow. Retirement is a marathon. We don't always think about how our life will look like in 20 or 30 years' time.
There is, however, one privileged group of foreigners who are not subject to social insurance. These are citizens of foreign countries (this turn of phrase sounds better than the word "immigrants" although it is the proper definition of a foreigner!) whose residence in Poland is not permanent and who are employed at foreign diplomatic representations, consular posts, international institutions or in special missions. Those who study at state higher education institutions have the problem off their heads. At every such an institution, there is some nice person (a deputy dean for students' affairs) who helps with all matters concerning social assistance. The situation looks much glimmer when it comes to immigrants working illegally, for instance at markets. I'm curious how much immigants know about ZUS.

After the 3rd Forum: What Next?
Read more >
I have taken part in numerous discussion panels, conferences and workshops. Most of them have been organised by non-governmental organisations, sometimes also by the public administration. The last Forum was held in Warsaw and its subject was the migration policy of three Polish cities: Cracow, Lublin and Warsaw. That was also the order in which workshops were organised in the three cities, each time at the invitation of the main partner of the Forum – one of the following non-governmental organisations: Interkulturalni (the Intercultural), Homo Faber and the Inna Przestrzeń (Other Space) Foundation.
The third sector has its merits in the development of democracy, resolution of various social issues and numerous untypical problems. I sometimes wonder: if the third sector had existed in the Middle Ages, would have Galileo had a good protector and defender in his confrontation with the church authorities? The effectiveness of NGOs is simply unparalleled in certain matters.
Immigration seen from a distance

Migrants and development
When we touch upon the topic of migrations, we focus on two things. First, what a society can do as a host to integrate the newcomers. Secondly, what the newcomers should do to be received in a peaceful way. Today, I would like to refer to different expectations – those of the migrants' families. What does a family, who very often pays for the journey, expect, what are the thoughts of those who are left in the so called third countries? What migrants do to help in the development of their place of birth? The problem of the migrations and development has not beenconsidered in Poland as yet.
Irregular immigration, either legal or not, contributes to the progress, to the development of the third countries. Those people are the actors of the progress, solid progress. They start different projects for the development of their villages or regions. Usually these projects are aimed at such places, forgotten by the central authority, where there is no school or health centre.
The migrations are the potential engine of growth and development for all engaged parties: receiving countries, countries of origin and for the immigrants themselves. The advantages for the society of the receiving country are obvious: the rejuvenation of the labour force at no expense, the increase of the profitability of such sectors as agriculture and services, important contribution to the system of social care, the response to the needs of the branch of new technologies.Migrants' countries of origin gain a positive capital investment (money orders as well as investments) through the transfer of technology and competences.

It seems that in the zoo of the Danish city of Odensee a number of penguins coexist, and two of them are gay and are paired. They had to see the rest of the pairs with their offspring and they also wanted to have one, so they went to take away one from another couple.
When the mother went to bathe, the father was left in the care of the baby, but he did not put much effort into it and got distracted. Taking advantage that the baby was loose on the ground, the gay couple tried to abduct it, but the mother, very aware, when she returned was to claim the baby.
In order for the incident to stop, the zookeepers had to intervene and return the pup to their legitimate parents.
In the video you can see the incident.

Reiki is a gentle & non-invasive therapy which works with the Universal Life Force Energy that is all around us, to balance both the body & mind.
Treatments are carried out fully clothed & usually on a couch. With the therapist gently laying hands on the chakra points along the body & channelling the energy this enables the clients' own healing ability to take place.
The energy does it work by clearing any blockages within the chakra's, which are energy centres in which all body energy passes. If these centres are blocked discomfort & dis-ease set in, causing many physical & emotional imbalances.
There are a number of different types of Reiki. The Usui Method of Reiki however is thought to be one of the purist forms that can be traced back through the Masters to Dr Mikao Usui.
I am a Reiki Master/Teacher so if you would like to learn how to use this lovely gentle healing energy for yourself (or how to use it on members of your family/friends, animals plants and even food) please get in touch to find out when I am running the next workshop.

I rarely use my blog to speak about legislation, politics, or potentially controversial issues, but today, we are on the precipice of history. As I write this, New York is slated to become the third state in the country (California and Maryland are there already) to curb the sale of puppies in pet stores. New York State Senator Michael Gianaris and Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal have introduced legislation (A.6298/S.4234) that would prohibit the sale of cats, dogs, and rabbits in pet stores across the state and I want to rally supporters and animal lovers like you to stand with me and let your voices be heard. For the sake of the lives of so many puppy mill victims, let's get this passed.
I think it was around 2005 that I met a terrific couple while working for another animal welfare organization. They were interested in becoming involved specifically to educate people about the consequences of purchasing a pet from a store. Their pup had experienced so many horrendous medical issues as a result of being overbred and kept in horrendous conditions at a puppy mill. At the time of their purchase, they were unsuspecting, and had only seen the sad puppy dog eyes in the store window. They didn't know where the pup had come from, what the risks were of taking that dog home, and what conditions that pup's parents lived in. They simply didn't know and didn't think to ask. But today they know better, and they made it their mission to make sure that others know too. And 14 years after that initial meeting, I'm going to be thrilled to reach out to them and let them know that there is finally legislation to ensure that no other young couple unknowingly supports a puppy mill by purchasing a pet from a store.
Pups from pet stores, unlike those that are bred responsibly, come from large facilities that keep the dogs in dirty, small, wire cages where they are treated as nothing more than breeding machines. They never feel the grass under their feet, the sun on their backs, or what being loved is all about. By now, I'm sure many of you know how filthy the conditions are, how terrified these dogs can be of humans, and how matted and sickly they get. On any given day, there are more than 2,000 pets for sale in pet stores across the state. This must stop. And now is our chance to be third in line to do just that.
This legislation will prohibit the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits in pet stores, but it would allow these stores to offer adoptable animals from 501 c 3 shelters and animal rescues. As Assemblywoman Rosenthal states, "by ensuring that pet stores can offer only rescues for adoption, this legislation will protect consumers, help to shut down the mills and end the puppy-to-pet store pipeline." A win-win for animals, rescue groups, pet-parents, and all those who care about the health and well-being of our four-legged friends. It may have taken more than a decade since we began this fight, but we are on the dawn of a new era for companion animals, and I hope you will join me in supporting this legislation by contacting your legislator in support of S. 4234/A.6298. And as always, adopt, don't shop.

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
Frank Ocean's accomplished a lot of things but he's never had a #1 album.
Well, that's about to change. According to Billboard, Blonde is slated to hit the top spot of their charts. Industry forecasters are predicting big things for the singer's sophomore LP as they're predicting it to do upward of 225,000 to 250,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending August 25.
The news will be officially released on August 28. The Billboard 200 tracks album sales through multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Blonde was made available for online consumption exclusively though Apple Music.
The projected numbers for Blonde are set to smash what Ocean's last album, Channel Orange, did. It sold just 131,000 copies in its first week on the charts. Unlike Blonde, it was primarily measured through digital and physical album sales, which could have something to do with the difference in the initial numbers.
Guess everyone felt the wait was all worth it. Check out Billboard's report here.

Phil Keoghan, producer and host of CBS's The Amazing Race, talks about what it takes to mount the series and why it's more important now than ever.
Tomorrow night marks the season finale of the reality-competion series The Amazing Race. Now in its 29th season, CBS's reality show powerhouse gears up for another run at the Primetime Emmy® Award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program. It received this award 10 times out of 14 nominations. Given the positive fan reaction to Season 29, another run feels near certain. The Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan is himself in the running for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program. He received four nominations for the award that recently embraced such left-field choices as Jane Lynch (Hollywood Game Night) and RuPaul Charles (RuPaul's Drag Race).
But put all that awards attention aside. Phil Keoghan and team never actually conceived that The Amazing Race would see a Season 29.
"I didn't even know that shows could run this long. Even now, when you look back at all the popular culture series, the iconic series from our past like Star Trek or M.A.S.H. or Friends, some of those ran a lot less than you would have imagined and still became iconic shows or part of the zeitgeist," Keoghan commented. "The fact that we have gone as long as we have and that as many people have connected with the show… When people say The Amazing Race, they immediately think of travel or adventure. We've become a brand."
Keoghan and team still feel amazed (pun fully intended) that The Amazing Race adopted such brand-name recognition. The series developed into a travel state of mind or a popular theme for birthday parties. It evolved far beyond what Keoghan originally imagined when he kicked off his first race back in 2001.
A Producer / Host's Job Is Never Done
Phil Keoghan's duties as host of The Amazing Race do not start and stop as contestants hit their pit stop. He actually shares producing credit for the series, and as such, he participates in almost every aspect of the show.
"My involvement as a producer starts with researching and writing scripts and then continuing to write on the road. That part is something I really love because it's how we communicate and condense those 45 minutes down to the audience. What do we say about Venice, Italy? How do we heighten the adventure that we're sharing with the audience," Keoghan explains. "I like wearing different hats beyond being a host. It helps me do a better job as a host."
Along with writing responsibilities, Keoghan further molds the shape and content of the show by advising on cast selection. A reality show rises and sinks based on the proper blend and vitality of its cast. With cast selections made, scripts written, and episodes filmed and edited, Keoghan then dedicates time to marketing and promoting the series as it airs. His role exists as one component of an entire team dedicated to excellence for the entire series.
"The fact that I'm able to cover all elements in some capacity is something that I'm very proud of. I don't just walk in and get handed a script to throw my lines at the camera," Keoghan said. "I feel so lucky to be a component of such a strong team."
The Pit Stop Balancing Act
Phil Keoghan receives one question above all else.
"What do you do while you're waiting for people to reach the pit stops?"
Since the show airs weekly, the audience largely perceives the action to be spaced out much farther than it really is. Filmed over approximately 21 days, literally no one experiences down time. As contestants arrive at the pit stop, Keoghan immediately interviews them based on information relayed to him via mobile. In most instances, the audience sees much more of the race than Keoghan himself.
"I'm really hoping that the last team to arrive on one leg gets in with enough time for me to get ahead of the first team who starts on the next leg. Then, when I get to the next leg, I'm trying to stay ahead of that first team to explain all the challenges, so I go to detours and roadblocks and challenges that they're getting to and then try to get to the next pit stop before the first team arrives. That gets complicated if there's a fast forward where a team doesn't have to go to some of the challenges. Then, sometimes, I'll go to the mat, welcome the arriving team, and then backtrack to a challenge to film stuff to cover the explanations and then try to get back to the pit stop before the second team arrives. While all of this is going on, I'm getting text updates and writing story notes so that I know what to interview them about. I need to stay as informed as possible."
I'm exhausted just writing it. Can't imagine living it.
The Key To Success And An Important Message For the World
The Amazing Race remains fresh thanks to its ability to cast unique and largely charismatic contestants. Season 29 offered a particularly unique spin. All 22 contestants entered the race as total strangers. That's right. To run the race, people travel the world and compete in challenges typically relying heavily on teamwork. This season, they competed with complete strangers. That shift made for compelling television.
"Now, you're taking 22 individuals who aren't connected in any way, and the diversity almost doubles. We looked not for pairs but for individuals. As a result, we had the most diverse cast ever this season, and I would also venture to say that there is no reality show as diverse as The Amazing Race. They don't have anything in common. They're pretty much as diverse as you can get. That, to me, is what makes Amazing Race work."
With such diversity under its belt, the show throws together contestants of extraordinarily different backgrounds. Yet, one team obviously manages to overcome those differences to emerge victorious in the end. That setting aside of differences and (mostly) working together in harmony becomes an important message for audiences across the world. The Amazing Race highlights the need to embrace our differences as the world remains polarized thanks to terrorism or international politics. It illustrates the benefit in embracing other cultures. It urges viewers to reach across the oceans and learn from different perspectives.
"We are a positive show. We are a show that celebrates the best that the world has to offer, and quite frankly right now, I think Amazing Race is more relevant in 2017 than when we started. If ever there was a time for us to travel, to reach out to the world, to be accepting of diversity, to celebrate what's right in the world as opposed to what's wrong, it's 2017," Keoghan commented. "I feel like we run the risk of becoming very polarized if we continue to perpetuate the idea that anything outside of America is bad and wrong. We are the show that tries to celebrate what's right in the world and why you should travel. We must continue to connect with our fellow human beings on this planet."
The Amazing Race Season 29 finale airs Thursday, June 1, at 10pm ET on CBS.

How heat-related illness kills
Ten people found in a trailer at a San Antonio Walmart have died and authorities believe at least eight of them suffered from heat-related illness. Moreover, local fire officials indicated some of the 29 others found in the trailer could suffer brain damage and other organ failure as a result of prolonged heat exposure.
While we don't yet know how long the passengers were in the un-air conditioned tractor trailer, evidence suggests that the heat inside the enclosed area could have had catastrophic effects.
Jan Null, a meteorology professor at San Jose State University who tracks U.S. child deaths in vehicles on his website, www.NoHeatStroke.org, told the Associated Press that 101 degrees in San Antonio could have risen to 120 in 10 minutes. He notes that could have escalated to 130 degrees in 20 minutes.
It's at least a two-hour drive from the Mexico border to San Antonio.
Heat exhaustion begins when the body's temperature reaches a little more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Johns Hopkins University. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that around 107 degrees cells start to die and organs can begin to fail. Null added the humidity in the trailer would have added to the danger because it wouldn't allow perspiration to evaporate, which is the body's way of cooling itself.
Be alert for heat related illnesses. Take frequent breaks & drink plenty of water. #mowx #kswx pic.twitter.com/Wug9yTkBrz— NWS Springfield (@NWSSpringfield) July 20, 2017
Paramedics on the scene found survivors had heart rates of about 130 beats per minute, said San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood. The heart rate of a resting adult ranges from about 60 to 100 beats per minute, according to the Mayo Clinic. Hood also noted the survivors' skin was hot to the touch.
Border patrol agents have warned against the dangers of smuggling migrants in extreme temperatures and enclosed spaces where temperatures can rise quickly. Doing so could lead to dehydration, heat stroke and even suffocation.
While border heat-related deaths were not available, U.S. Border Patrol said deaths along the Texas border rose from 2015 to 2016. Laredo saw 57 border deaths in 2015 and 68 in 2016, while deaths in the Rio Grande Valley rose from 97 to 130 in that time.
According to the National Weather Service, Texas had six heat-related deaths in 2016, including three that occurred in vehicles.
The three deaths were second only to Georgia, which had four. In 2016, Texas tied for third in state heat-related deaths. Overall in 2016, heat-related deaths in vehicles comprised 11.7 percent of all heat-related fatalities in the United States. However, in the last 30 years more people have died from extreme heat than any other weather fatality.

Few things can be more refreshing than a home with a nice new layer of paint. A paint job can give your home an instant but dramatic facelift. Certainly, if you want the best results, you should hire a professional to do it. Painting may look like a simple job, but it's not. If your home was constructed earlier than 1978, it's likely covered in lead-based paint, which an expert can take care of.
If you're all set to hire a professional house painter, here are tips to help you:
Written Quote
Ask your prospective painter for an estimate of the paint job you need. Obviously, he has to visit your home while you walk him through your expectations. Be very specific about colors and show paint samples if you have any. If you need help choosing, ask the painter.
License and Insurance
As soon as you've found a few prospects, ask each if they are licensed (if required by the state where you live in) and insured. A license is no guarantee of a great job, but you do have a better chance of getting one with it. Of course, insurance keeps you from being liable when someone injures themselves on the job.
Past Projects and Client References
When researching painters online, you'll probably find a lot of pictures of paint jobs they've done before. Don't trust these images completely however. Ask the painter instead to bring you to at least two projects (must be similar to yours) they've done no later than three years ago. You need to see how the materials and colors survived the elements over the time.
Checking references is important if you're looking for a good house painter. You'll want to know how competent and professional your prospect is based on the experiences of his past clients. If a painter doesn't want to provide references, that's a sure sign you have to look elsewhere. Don't forget to check out online reviews too, especially if the painter was not personally recommended to you.
Your contract with the house painter needs to be very specific. All the pertinent information should be included, including the project's start and end dates, materials to be used and a cost breakdown, and the schedule of payments. The paint manufacturer's name, the paint color, gloss, grade, etc.must also be included, along with the surfaces to be painted and the number of coats to be applied. The contract will have to specify the application of a primer too. Finally, the document should state that the painter is responsible for cleaning up after the job is done.

Student Hit by SUV, but is it the City's Fault?
Every school day, students cross Spears Road from nearby residential neighborhoods in order to get to classes at Davis High School. Parents in the area are justifiably concerned for the safety of their kids. Currently, there are no crosswalks or guards at the intersections and the area is not properly lit. On Monday morning, an eleventh grade student was struck by a speeding SUV while attempting to cross Spears Road. Eyewitnesses report that the speeding vehicle came out of nowhere and knocked the girl down. The victim, whose name has not been released, was taken by Life Flight to Memorial Hermann. Her current condition is unknown. Though speed limits are posted, parents and school officials are concerned that these are often ignored. Parents say that part of the issue is not knowing if the road belongs to the city or to the county and who would be responsible for any improvements. Sometimes it can be difficult to sort out the cause of an accident and who or what may have been at fault. Every accident has within it, a specific set of circumstances along with the injuries, damage and losses. A good attorney knows what is needed to help get to the bottom of a case because they understand the law and can help to unravel the underlying cause of motor vehicle accidents. While many accidents may be caused by the irresponsible actions of a driver, in some cases such as this one, it could be that a government entity is equally culpable in an accident. If a road has had previous issues surrounding poor design, poor lighting, inadequate crossing areas, improper construction, or inadequate signs, signals or any other kind of defects, these can be a contributing factor in the cause of an accident that results in serious injuries or even death. If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident, having a good attorney on your side is absolutely essential. Your lawyer can make the difference in the type of insurance settlement you receive. Injuries have high medical costs, ongoing therapy and chronic treatment, pain and suffering can all play a part in your personal injury settlement. We have years of experience in the Houston courts in successfully representing our clients. You have rights and we are here to help you. Your initial consultation with our offices is confidential and without obligation or cost to you.

Dozens of studies link untreated hearing loss to negative effects, including social isolation, depression, increased falls and even dementia. If those studies aren't enough to convince people to be vigilant and proactive about treating hearing loss, maybe one touting the benefits of wearing hearing aids will.
The National Council on Aging surveyed thousands of adults with hearing loss to "assess the impact of using hearing aids on the quality of life of the users."
Respondents who wore hearing aids to treat their hearing loss reported:
- Better relationships with their families
- Better feelings about themselves
- Improved mental health
- Greater independence and security
Meanwhile, the non-profit Better Hearing Institute identifies numerous other benefits to treating hearing loss, including the ones in today's infographic.

UPDATE 5/2/15: As if we weren't excited enough by our very own Kimojis, Kimmy K has just added GIFs to her never-ending list of technological reincarnations.
There's a pole-dancing Kimmy, a twerking Givenchy-wearing Kimmy and even a GIF commemorating the magical moment Kim gave sister Khloe a real telling off…
It doesn't stop there. The new Kimogifs show us exactly what goes on in her mind; we're talking love hearts emblazoned with 'pull out', massage oil, her body wrapped in fairy lights and even her bosoms covered in heart-shaped nipple pasties. Erm, are you thinking what we're thinking?
Yep, by the looks of things, Kimogifs give 'sexting' a whole new lease of life. Go forth and conquer, ladies…
21/12/15: Kim Kardashian West has some exciting news.
She's dipped into fashion, beauty and even technology with her game, Kim Kardashian Hollywood, but now the entrepreneur can add something else to her long list: her very own collection of emojis.
It's no secret that emojis have become part of our everyday language, and thanks to the reality star, we'll soon be expressing ourselves with a little added Kim-K.
Because, who doesn't need a break-the-internet bum sometimes? Exactly.
On the same day that the social media mogul hit 55 million followers on Instagram, she made the announcement across her accounts. Well, after she'd celebrated the milestone with a suitably pouty selfie, of course.
Sharing a sneak peek at what her custom emoji keyboard will look like, Kim said: 'KIMOJI'S APP LAUNCHES TOMORROW!!!'
Latest Stories
The kimoji line-up also includes the star's infamous cry face – which is probably our personal favourite – as well as a heavily contoured face (natch), a selfie, a nude lipstick and a mini pregnant Kim.
It also looks like we'll be treated to our very own version of that famous belfie moment.
The app will be available to download today.
And we CANNOT WAIT to add some Kimisms to our conversations.
