Kampala, Uganda | Rights groups on Friday accused the Ugandan government of inaction over the deadly assault by security forces on a tribal king's palace six months ago, renewing their call for an independent probe.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) Africa Director, Maria Burnett told reporters in Kampala that although the government had dedicated significant resources to investigating alleged crimes by civilians during the incident in November 2016, there was still no probe into killings by the security forces.
During three days of clashes Ugandan security forces attacked an administrative building belonging to the local tribal king and then laid siege to the royal palace compound in the southwestern town of Kasese
HRW say they have documented the deaths of 155 people in the days of fierce fighting.
"It is a massive event that happened in Kasese, the largest number of people who have been killed in a single event in Uganda since the height of the LRA war," said Burnett, referring to the near 30-year insurgency that devastated northern Uganda until 2006.
"The victims of November's violence have a right to justice and they have a right under Ugandan and international law to demand accountability," he added.
In March the Ugandan government revised up their previous estimate of the number killed at Kasese to 103, but witnesses have said that they fear the true number to be far higher.
– 'Unwilling to investigate' –
Nicholas Opiyo, director of Chapter 4 — one of almost 40 Ugandan human rights organisations who joined the call for an investigation — said that as well as an independent investigation the ongoing abuses of civilians must stop.
"I was a front-row witness to the events in Kasese," said Opiyo.
"There was absolutely no attempt to avoid civilian deaths. Families who have been denied information about the deaths of their loved ones deserve justice."
The government has accused Rwenzururu King Charles Wesley Mumbere of stoking a secessionist rebellion and stormed his palace on November 27, a day after his palace guards attacked local officers, according to police.
Calling the killings "revenge" for the deaths of "a few security agents in the region" in the weeks leading up the attack on the palace, Opiyo called for intimidation of human rights workers to stop.
"Two of our researchers have been arrested on two occasions simply because they were recording statements of victims," he said.
"Six months down the road Ugandan authorities' unwillingness to investigate is very clear and I think that we're at the point where we need to ask for international support," he added.
On Thursday the Ugandan government's own human rights commission presented its annual report to the press.
The 250-page report neglects to mention the Kasese killings with officials claiming that they are waiting for permission from President Museveni, who has ruled the East African nation for 31 years, to release a separate report on the events in Kasese.

- A Missouri teenager who went on a cruise with her family was left with a mystery illness that caused her to go blind.
- The fifteen-year-old is currently fighting a still-undiagnosed medical condition, and doctors don't even know what it is.
- Jordyn Walker's medical nightmare began after returning from a cruise she had with her family last year.
A teenage girl from Missouri went on a cruise with her family last year but when she returned, she suffered a still-undiagnosed illness that caused her to be permanently blind.
Jordyn Walker suffered from stomach pain accompanied by bloody stools, local CBS affiliate WDAF reports.
After running a series of tests, the doctors sent her home with a diagnosis of a sinus infection. But the 15-year-old ended up losing her sense of taste and smell so she decided to see several specialists who ran more tests.
"Everything came back normal," said Jordyn's mom, Kendyll Walker.
However, just two weeks before Christmas, Jordyn 's mystery illness came back, worse than before.
"My whole face just turned purple and bruised and giant with blood," the teen said.
"It was terrifying to watch it happen all over again and knowing that we couldn't do anything about it," her mother told WDAF.
Jordyn was rushed to the emergency room at the University of Kansas Hospital, and ended up in pediatric intensive care. She was inpatient for 16 days, underwent more tests, was given medications and had two surgeries to reduce swelling in her eyes.
After all these, but doctors still have no idea what happened.
"There's no answers. There's nothing they could do," Kendyll recalled.
Jordyn now is permanently blind from her illness. "She won't get a chance to drive," Kendyll added. "Or see her sisters get married like she wants so much."
There's no obvious answer for what could have caused Jordyn's illness, says infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, MD, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.
"It's also possible that it's not caused by one single disease," Adalja says. "It's possible that she had a bacterial infection that caused the initial GI symptoms and that spread systemically to her eye."
Vatinee Bunya, MD, co-director of the Penn Dry Eye and Ocular Surface Center, agrees.
"Infections can affect any part of the eye and cause a variety of problems such as corneal ulcers, severe inflammation inside the eye, or damage to the retina or optic nerve," Bunya tells Yahoo Lifestyle.
"Severe infections or inflammation inside the eye can also lead to increased eye pressure or glaucoma. If any of these are severe enough or are difficult to control or treat, they can lead to blindness or loss of the eye."
Norovirus and influenza are the biggest things you need to worry about on cruises, according to Bunya, not a mystery illness that makes people go blind and lose their taste.

I guess some ESL admin grabbed L4D2 on a free weekend and thought about hosting some cups there, that's a really big surprise but a big chance!
1. What config is it?
seems like they have no clue what they are doing, perhaps someone could educate them a little. There's no specified config and no information that is of any real use.
Realistically, what can you expect though?"We" have modified the game so hard without ESL being around in L4D2 that it's hard to get into as new admin.
Hey guys,two years ago I've tried to run a L4D2 tournament via esl community page. I talked to 3 former L4D2 admins back then and they all told me, that they won't waste any time with this game anymore.

Trust, but Verify
The internet has done some remarkable things for commerce; among other things, it has opened up a whole new world, literally, of merchants to your average consumer. Competition is the heart of capitalism, or so they tell me, and who am I to argue? Buying online can come with risks – aside from the obvious concerns about buying counterfeit merchandise or otherwise dealing with scammers and fraudsters, there are other pitfalls for the unwary. A lot of online merchants aren't "authorized retailers" of the products they carry; this usually isn't a huge problem, except that it can mean – among other things – that the manufacturer won't honor their warranty. Usually, what this means is that the merchant didn't get their stock directly from the manufacturer, but through a middleman. Usually, these middlemen are drop-shippers, or wholesalers, and there's nothing to be too concerned about.
Sometimes, though, you run into a much more sinister problem. This recently happened to me.

Even the most inactive among us burn calories simply to keep our bodies functioning normally — to stay alive. For example, your basal metabolism (the calories burned to keep your body functioning) makes up about 60% of the calories your body burns every day.
Non-exercise activity (daily activities, fidgeting, walking around the house) accounts for about 20% of total calories burned. Anywhere from zero to 10% of calories burned are the result of intentional activity (exercise). That leaves 10% of your total calories burned, called "the thermic effect of food" or TEF.
So, about 80% of the calories your body burns are pretty much out of your control. However, two of those calorie-burning factors — exercise and TEF — you can manipulate. We all know how to increase calorie burning with exercise. That leaves the 10% burned from TEF.
A recent review of TEF research suggests that a low TEF could be a contributing factor to obesity and that it may be possible to increase TEF.
- Physical activity: Aside from the calories burned from the activity itself, research suggests that active adults have significantly higher TEF (31% to 45%) compared with sedentary adults. It was found to be true of both younger and older adults.
- Meal composition: Studies show that a high-carbohydrate meal triggers a higher TEF than a high-fat meal and the type of fat may also make a difference. Polyunsaturated fats, such as those found in corn and soybean oils, have a greater TEF than monounsaturated fats or saturated fats.
- Processed vs. unprocessed foods: Meals containing unprocessed grains may have a significantly higher TEF compared with unrefined grains. For example, eating a sandwich made with whole grains vs. a sandwich made with bread from refined flour has a higher TEF. According to Hana Kahleova, M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A., director of clinical research with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in Washington, D.C., and one of the authors of the review, "A plant-based diet increases the TEF by about 16%."
- Meal frequency: Several studies have found that having a single large meal resulted in at least a 30% increase in TEF compared to eating three or four smaller meals. TEF can be 2.5 times higher with the morning meal, compared with dinner, and be higher in the afternoon, compared with eating at night. Kahleova points to the saying "eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner as a pauper," and says this concept has research to support it and is likely to offer the most calorie-burning benefits. Eating slower, instead of rushing through a meal, may also increase TEF.
Bottom line
Kahleova says "More research is needed to estimate how much we can increase the TEF by combining all these approaches," adding that individually they have solid evidence behind them and can be recommended as a way to boost TEF and possibly aid in weight management.

Taking on the New Year …
A brand-new year brings with it both anticipation and apprehension. Both are emotional responses to the unknown.
There are MANY things we could discuss in this year's opening missive …
… tariffs, trade wars, a new Congress, the Fed, interest rates, the stock market, the bond market, gold, oil, taxes, Opportunity Zones, and on and on.
Most of those things are completely OUTSIDE of your control.
So as we stand together at the threshold of the New Year, rather than dive into the weeds of the daily news or pontificate on predictions of the future …
… we think it's important to consider how to use things WITHIN our control effectively to make the MOST out of the next twelve months.
The goal is to OPTIMIZE your odds of success by focusing your best efforts on the few things you can control, and which create the most positive leverage in your endeavors.
Read that again and let it sink in. It's something we work on all the time.
Now let's take a look at this idea from a real estate investing perspective …
Everything starts with your goals. But not really … because before you can set a MEANINGFUL goal, it's critical to choose your values, mission, and vision.
Values, mission, vision, goals, focus, and effort are all things YOU can control.
Sadly, most people don't proactively and strategically identify their values, mission, and vision.
Instead, they bounce from thing to thing … role model to role model … idol to idol … hoping to stumble onto the secret to happiness.
That's why we put so much emphasis on taking time to create your future.
Once you have your values, mission, and vision clear, NOW you can set meaningful goals … what are often referred to in business as "key objectives."
These are activities YOU can control … things you CAN do … which are specific, measurable, and have a deadline for completion.
For example, "owning more real estate" is NOT a goal. "Buying four properties by the end of the year" is better.
But "acquiring 100 doors by the end of the year" is even more powerful because it creates possibilities and leverage … while focusing your activity on the REAL heart of real estate investing.
Think about it …
If your goal is to "buy four properties", you might end up with four single-family homes … which is only four tenants, or "doors".
And saying "buy" puts a subconscious limitation on HOW you acquire the properties.
But focusing on "acquiring 100 doors" is VERY different because you might achieve it through only ONE property, which provides time leverage.
This goal also focuses you on what REALLY matters … acquiring TENANTS.
Remember, it's not real estate that makes you rich … it's the rent. Even equity is a derivative of income.
And when you think in terms of "acquiring" instead of simply "buying", it opens your mind to seeing alternative acquisition possibilities … like options or syndication.
After all, you can acquire a property without paying for it.
For example, if you syndicate 1,000 doors for a 10% share, you effectively gain 100 doors personally.
But instead of paying to own them, you get PAID to own them. BIG difference.
So it's actually easier and faster to think bigger. Yet most people believe just the opposite.
Of course, thinking and feeling are interconnected. That is, how you think affects how you feel … and how you feel affects how you think.
Blair Singer says, "When emotions run high, intelligence runs low."
So if you're afraid of an uncertain future or of making a mistake, you'll tend to think about avoiding risk.
But investing is about navigating risks … not avoiding them.
Similarly, if you're hyper-enthusiastic, you may only think about the upside and fail to think about the risks … or strategies for navigating them.
We think passion and logic go together. The most successful investors we've seen know how to balance both effectively.
It comes down to knowing the difference between what you can and should control, and what you can't.
The future is always in motion and largely out of our control, so we can NEVER be certain. Striving for certainty in an uncertain world is a recipe for paralysis.
On other words, it's ineffective to worry about things we can't control.
Better to stoically observe uncontrollable events, and then focus our passionate attention on things we CAN control in a way which maximizes possibilities and leverage.
We KNOW there will be LOTS of things happening in the new year. We just don't know what they are. However, we can sure they'll present both challenges and opportunities.
But it's not the uncontrollable events themselves which most effect our results … it's how we choose to react to them.
History tells us there will be ups and downs, and there will be winners and losers. In the same set of circumstances, some will prosper and others will fail.
The individual challenge is figuring out how to define what winning looks like on a personal basis, and then doing what's in our control to win on our terms … in whatever environment we face.
It takes clarity, knowledge, connections, emotional control, and the discipline to focus on those few strategic things under your control that provide the most leverage.
It's simple, but not easy. If it were, more people would do it.
Our experience and observation is that the best place to start is by putting great ideas in your mind, getting around the right people as much as possible … and narrowing your focus to the very few things that make the most impact.
So as you enter the new year … be sure the time and resources you invest in developing the real estate between your ears is commensurate with the size of your investing goals.

The Future of Interest Rates and More with David Stockman
We love talking about real estate. But, real estate is only a part of the sea of our economic landscape. Rising interest rates have a HUGE impact on real estate and the economy in general.
That's why we are talking to one of our favorite former Wall Street and Washington insiders.
He tells us his take on the future of interest rates and the economy … and shares how YOU can capitalize on changing interest rates to make smart real estate decisions.
In this episode of The Real Estate Guys™ show you'll hear from:
- Your swimming host, Robert Helms
- His sinking co-host, Russell Gray
- David Stockman, former U.S. Congressman and best-selling author
Broadcasting since 1997 with over 300 episodes on iTunes!
When you give us a positive review on iTunes you help us continue to bring you high caliber guests and attract new listeners. It's easy and takes just a minute! (Don't know how? Follow these instructions).
The U.S. economy is a fantasyland
David Stockman is an expert not only in economic policy, but also in articulating and explaining complex topics in a way anyone can understand.
David's political path began in college when he worked for a congressman and learned what it took to be a policymaker. He won an election to congress after the incumbent in his district retired.
Later, he was drafted to be a part of Ronald Reagan's economic team. President Reagan appointed David as budget director, where he helped launch economic policies.
When it comes to economic policy, there are generally two schools of thought … Keynesian and Austrian.
"Keynesianism says basically that you can't rely on capitalism to grow; you need the helping hand of the government," David says. "We say get out of the way! The less government the better."
And of course, limit borrowing and spending.
The other major factor in economics is interest rates … which directly affect home buyers and investors.
"Rising interest rates have historically told Congress to get its fiscal house in order," David says. "It elicits a reaction in the country that says, 'You're crowding out investment that we need in the private sector.'"
But money printing and distortion of the capital market can cause major crashes like the one we endured in 2008. The subprime disaster SHOULD have been a wake-up call to the country.
In the 94 days after the crash, the Fed increased the balance sheet by 150 percent more than in the previous 94 years.
David says that put us on the path of crazy money printing and low interest rates … and has fueled more speculation.
Now, the Fed is trying to stabilize interest rates and has put the economy in a precarious position.
And there's an important concept for today's investors to keep in mind as they evaluate the economy … the recency bias.
"If you're looking just at what happened yesterday or last year, you might lose track of the fact that we're in fantasyland, and fantasyland is a dangerous place to be," David says.
Essentially, the Fed realizes that they went way too far for way too long, and that they won't be ready for the next big crisis. And the deficit continues to grow out of control.
Which means the next crash could be even bigger.
David says that for investors who are borrowing large sums of money to finance their investments, there's no more dangerous time than right now.
He calls for prudent underwriting today, and keeping an eye toward the future.
Higher interest rates and lower property values are the types of problems that can erase yields.
"Debt can produce wonderful returns," David says. "But, if you get caught blindsided, it can be a very dangerous thing to wrestle with."
Shore up investments before the crash
While many pundits are talking about how robust the economy is, it's important to listen to the people who are sounding the alarm. So, what can happen?
"If we have another crisis, innocent people will be hurt," David says. People who lost in the dotcom bust and the housing crisis will have similar and possibly even bigger losses.
This time, the fed will not be in the position to bail out the system. And David says that perhaps in the next crash, the Federal Reserve will emerge as the real culprits of economic instability.
One of the big lessons is to stay educated and understand the fundamentals. You can turn a crisis into an opportunity.
What should a prudent investor be doing now to prepare for the next downturn?
"I think that the idea of cash-flow oriented investment is a sound one," David says, "but the underwriting going forward will have to be more discriminating and careful than ever before."
This is especially true for commercial investing. It's important to ensure that tenants can continue to pay their leases.
Above all, David says that being a careful and prudent investor is a more secure place to be.
For investors who didn't live through 2008 … or even if you did … you can learn from David's expertise.

Building Your Network and Credibility by Attracting the Right People
Real estate investing is a social endeavor. The more people you know … and the better those people are … the more likely you are to succeed.
But how do you turn your business relationship dreams into reality?
The secret to building relationships is alignment.
In other words, YOU have to bring value to the table to build strong relationships … and you want to seek out people who can bring value to you, too.
In this episode of The Real Estate Guys™ show, we'll talk with a powerful connector who is an expert at helping folks nurture and build relationships.
You'll hear from:
- Your connected host, Robert Helms
- His cantankerous co-host, Russell Gray
- Kyle Wilson, promoter and brand builder
Broadcasting since 1997 with over 300 episodes on iTunes!

The three ingredients of strong relationships
Kyle Wilson has had the chance to work with a lot of great people throughout his career. Recently, he wrote a book about the lessons he has learned from them.
One of Kyle's mentors and partners was entrepreneur Jim Rohn, who died in 2009. Jim said, "Success takes time, and the twin killers of success are impatience and greed."
Today's society wants instant success, says Kyle … but it takes time to do anything worthwhile, including building your network.
That doesn't mean every relationship you spend time on will be great. A second lesson Kyle learned comes from Zig Ziglar, who said, "Never do a good deal with a bad guy." It'll never work out for the best.
We've got the first two ingredients … time and good people. The third ingredient of a successful relationship is value.
You need to BE a good partner before you can HAVE a good partner … and that means bringing value to the table. Solid relationships aren't usually based on people just being nice to each other … they're about value.
A good relationship or partnership should be win-win on both sides.
Dream big … and put in the time
Kyle shared another lesson from his book, 52 Lessons, with us. (Pssst … to read the book, simply click here for free instant access. Kyle is publishing the book entirely online, one chapter a week.)
He learned this lesson from Mark Victor Hansen, founder of the well-known Chicken Soup for the Soul book series.
Mark told Kyle, "We're going to sell 100 million books." Kyle didn't believe him.
Today, the Chicken Soup for the Soul franchise has sold more than 600 million books.
Kyle calls the lesson he learned "stretching the rubber band" … Mark forced Kyle to think beyond what he thought was possible.
It's essential to build relationships with people who can get you outside of your comfort zone and help you dream big.
To turn your dreams to reality, however, requires dedication, a lesson Kyle learned early in his career from success expert Bryan Tracy.
Bryan said, "Success is like getting a plane off the ground." It takes a ton of fuel and energy to get that plane from the runway to the air … but once you're at 300,000 feet, you can coast a little.
Kyle applied that wisdom to the beginning of his career. He spent the first two or three years putting in the hours … so he could reap the results later.
Most people spend their whole lives going 80 miles per hour down the runway and never breaking free from gravity. "That's not efficient," Kyle says.
Great relationships will propel you upwards
52 Lessons is a compilation of stories from individuals who've been through a defining experience and made the changes necessary to bounce them to success.
Kyle can share a similar story … he sold 7 million books as a publisher, then sold all his companies and retired in 2007 to become Mr. Mom. He even signed a non-compete.
Several years later, he wanted to get back in the game … so he used the knowledge he'd amassed to start a new publishing business. His first book was Passionistas, a book about millennial women hustling to make their businesses succeed.
Kyle says he's able to leverage his experiences and relationships to create more success for himself and others around him. That's one reason he loves attending our annual Summit at Sea™.
The Summit isn't just about information, Kyle says … it's about the people you meet and the relationships you build.
At some point, most investors will want to move from solo investments to syndication with other people. That's where our Secrets of Successful Syndication seminar comes into play.
Most people attending that event already have half a dozen properties … and almost everyone has something they can offer to other investors.
It's a way to put yourself in a target-rich environment.
Leverage social media
Kyle says that for the modern entrepreneur, online relationships are important too. "Whatever business you're in, it's all about building an audience."
Whether that's through a podcast, social media, an email list, events, or a combination, online networking might be your secret sauce to building a network.
Kyle says that for him, "It's counterproductive to pay someone to do social media … it's about the pulse."
But whatever strategy you alight on, you have to be authentic about it. You can delegate the minutiae … but you should be the architect of your connection strategies.
And EVERY strategy you make should begin with the philosophy of bringing value to others.
Align yourself with others
As The Guys, we've built a successful brand and a network full of investing rockstars because we work to find common values.
If you're looking to make connections, DON'T jump into a partnership right away.
Instead, do a deep dive to determine your own personal mission, vision, and values. Then you can determine whether others will help you advance your goals … and whether YOU can help THEM.
Not everyone you meet will offer that kind of win-win relationship.
If you're looking for help figuring out your mission, vision, and values, come to our Create Your Future goal-setting retreat.
Discover the big picture of who you are as a person … and learn what you want, how (and how not) you can get it, and how to evaluate potential relationships.
Convert your passion … into action. And attract the right people into your life by removing uncertainty about what YOU want.

General InformationRila National Park is situated on the territory of four administrative regions: Blagoevgrad, Sofia, Kyustendil and Pazardjik, eleven municipalities: Blagoevgrad, Simitli, Razlog, Belitsa, Yakoruda, Belovo, Kostenetz, Dolna Banya, Samokov, Sapareva Banya, Dupnitsa, and twenty five village's and town's territories.
- Area: 81,046 hectares
- Wooded area: 53,481 hectares
- Treeless area: 27,565 hectares
- 90% of all ecosystems are natural
- There are four nature reserves, with a combined area of 16,222.1 hectares
- Highest elevation: Mussala at 2,925 meters above sea level
- Lowest elevation: the area above Blagoevgrad, at 800 meters above sea level
The life of the population, which inhabits these regions, is permanently connected with the Rila Mountain. The National Park keeps natural inheritance and creates possibilities for subsistence of the population in the towns and villages around it, and for the economical prosperity of the country. The Park proposes conditions for scientific and educational activities. The basic water sources for the near towns and villages and for the whole country are situated on the Park's territory.
The Rila Mountain is a source of additional income for the local population. Every second resident of the towns and villages around the Park picks herbs, mushrooms, and wild fruits, which is an additional earning. These resources can be kept and can be used by many future generations if some strict rules, regulated in the Management Plan, are observed. The necessary licenses for the use of the natural resources on the Park's territory are given by the Park's administration.
The National Park provides for jobs in the central administration and the offices at the different territory, most of the working people are local. The building of infrastructure and the realization of the projects is made mainly by the local executers.
The development of the region and the prosperity of its population depend on the collaborative efforts of the Park and the local communities. There are good possibilities for developing the tourism – marvelous nature, local crafts, traditional meals, cultural monuments.

Out of shear curiosity, when do you do your best programming? I thought this might be an interesting question to throw out there get some community engagement at the Water Cooler.
Do you do your best work during the day? Or (and if you're like me) keep yourself awake at night thinking about how best to go about that problem? Some of my best work has come in those few waking moments before I drift off to sleep or via a vivid dream itself…that is if I actually get there!
So I guess I'm curious, is this normal??? Or am I some kind of strange aberration?

Best programming:
Depends – between ~10:00am to ~2:00pm is when I'm most efficient. I'd call this best programming because I can layout mistake free code very quickly – become the machine making the most profit.
Best ideas for problems that have been stumping me all day or best genius moments typically late at night.
Even on customer sites – tryin to workout a complicated problem all day get it at night. Worst when back at the hotel or something and you get the Eureka moment – such is the business I guess – to drive back to site or to save it till morning lol.November 9, 2018 at 6:06 pm #3546George BarnetteModerator

Programming for me comes sort of like inspiration. So when I'm in the office, it's usually writing something that's either a lot of cut and paste, or I'm doing a new project and continuously going over it or I have it on my test PLC and I'm just messing with it.
My last supervisor told all us programmers to use the hot keys as much as possible ("Too many mouse clicks waste time!!" , he said). I used to watch him do a rung edit and change a bunch of addresses (tags) and descriptors with his hot keys and I had to take notes, he went so fast. Well, I'm pretty quick now on them myself. My new boss doesn't use them, and he is amazed at how much I can do with the keys. Anyway, I get bored in the office hammering out logic, so it goes pretty slow. I mostly do Allen-Bradley ladder, and when I really get inspired is when I'm on a de-bug or a start-up. I can seemingly work miracles, but mostly I just accommodate the customer. "Can you move the AO from the supply fans to EF-2? I already moved the wiring, that's why the supply fans won't run" Sure, click, paste, keys, ctrl+shift+F, done!! The more pressure, the easier it seems. "How come Auto stopped working on the HMI?", click, keys, paste, cross reference–"Ooops, bad tag, my bad! There, done!!"
And much like Richard above, many times I go home or I'm looking at the forums, Fox news, whatever, and Bingo!!. That won't work, I'll think, and I'll email myself to look at rung so and so tomorrow, and it usually is something that needs changed. Many times I've had "inspiration" that I know doesn't come from my little brain, so it must be answer to prayer. I pray every day for help in my job. Some of my best work has come when a plant is down, or in a remote area where I've been sent (did a lot of food processing controls/PLC in Alaska). Maybe it's the adrenaline or the extra desire to succeed. I always want a happy customer. Thanks for reading, folks!!November 9, 2018 at 6:52 pm #3547Tanner SmithParticipant

When I encounter a problem that I am having a tough time solving (programming wise) I leave work and get away. I do my best programming and problem solving just driving down the road thinking about it. Happens all the time.November 9, 2018 at 9:15 pm #3548Sean TerrellModerator

Late night.. No idea why. But after 22:00 I turn my brain off, put on something interesting on youTube and just produce, Between 22:00 and 01:00 I can accomplish more production code and complete more chewing through just pumped out logic than any other time.
During the day I come back fix all my minor errors, flip bits that need to be XIC's or add debounce timers and such.. But seriously, half asleep I just crank through a huge bulk of productionNovember 12, 2018 at 8:51 am #3551John C JonesModerator

With the electrical schematics completed and approved and most of the time the hardware already assembled, programming begins for me. Also a complete understanding of the mechanical systems that will be involved.
A spiral notebook is purchased just for this project with at least enough sections for the main program block and all the subroutines that will go with the program (notes).
I have to be in my office with the door locked, a wet board, my new notebook and MS Excel running on my PC. Ideas come from in different ways such as when I'm in the shower, social events, TV, and when I first wake up. My wife has told me many times I talk about my project in my sleep. All of this comes from an inspiration for creating something that functions correctly and is easily understandable by all (especially the maintenance department).

I certainly prefer to work in the quiet hours of the evening but my previous job rarely afforded me the chance to take my work home with me as 80% of the programming needed to be done … well … yesterday, as they say. Probably did my best work under the pressure of a timetable or in a "line down" situation.

I feel your pain. Did a lot of pressure programming myself, on the factory floor with "line down" scenarios.
Standing behind me would be the operators, manufacturing engineer, Operations Manager, and maintenance personnel.

Top driving instructor! Giuseppe explains everything you need to know for the driving test in great detail. He is motivated and always ready for a good conversation while driving. The subsequent lesson discussion shows you exactly what you should still work on. Although I was very nervous before the exam, thanks to his preparation I was able to pass it without any problems the first time.

Since my wife already had a foreign driver's license (Mexico), she only had to complete a practical control drive in Canton Schwyz. Nevertheless she wanted to take driving lessons and we contacted Giuseppe de Santis. Thanks to his time flexibility she was able to take some driving lessons until the exam. At first, we thought it would be tight because the rules in Switzerland were different from those in Mexico. But Giuseppe, with his calm manner, was able to give her the necessary knowledge within a short time. His feedback after the lessons has always been very helpful and has contributed to everything going well. It is a very recommendable option for driving lessons, not only in terms of price, but also technically, whether for foreigners preparing for a control drive or for new drivers.
Date: 13.04.2015
The driving school De Santis is excellent! Everything was explained super, all maneuvers were recorded on the basis of a sketch and thus everything could be carried out very well. Giuseppe De Santis is a very entertaining and nice person who never loses his patience. I was very satisfied and passed the test for the first time.
Date: 08.03.2015
It was great. De Santis has explained everything with patience he never got angry and always had understanding.

Very good and competent driving instructor. Identifies the weaknesses of learner drivers well and designs the driving lessons optimally according to the needs. I can only recommend.
Date: 10.12.2013
Guiseppe is a very patient driving instructor. He can explain everything 100 times and still remains calm. In addition, he teaches you everything very precisely, so that you also feel comfortable at the exam. I learned a lot from him and laughed a lot and I am happy, I decided for him ;) Also, the driving hours are rather cheap in comparison and he always keeps the one hour. Thanks to him, I passed the exam the first time :)) so I recommend it to everyone.
This student also wrote a driving test report: Sie haben bestanden. JEDOCH GANZ KNAPP!

I would recommend De Santis Driving School to anyone. By his calm and patient nature he brings you well prepared to the test... So in any case recommendable. :)

I would recommend De Santis Driving School to anyone. He has a very calming nature, and will get you well prepared for the exam. You learn a lot in a short time. He explains with much patience things that are not clear on anhib. If I had to visit a driving school again, I would decide again for the driving school De Santis!!!!!!
Date: 15.02.2013
I can recommend the driving school De Santis with best conscience: Giuseppe De Santis convinced me not only by his professional competence, but also by his pedagogical abilities. He is incredibly patient and calm and responded optimally to my individual learning needs. After each lesson he also took the time to discuss the lesson again. I was also very satisfied with the price-performance ratio: CHF 88 per lesson (on account) and discount with an advance payment of 10 lessons. In summary, a great experience, many thanks again!
Date: 06.09.2012
Giuseppe makes it very easy to learn how to drive with his calm manner and even to have fun driving. Giuseppe's sovereign exit gives the students self-confidence and takes away their fear of making mistakes. Even if the price per driving hour were high, I would recommend this driving instructor to everyone; but the fact is that you will hardly find a cheaper (and still very professional) driving school.
Date: 13.07.2012
I can only recommend Giuseppe De Santis. I always enjoyed the lessons! He had a lot of patience and I felt well prepared for the exam.

Kootenay Lake district superintendent Jeff Jones was the principal of a school in Calgary years ago when he witnessed one of his career's best examples of transformational education. Having made multiple trips to the local zoo, he wanted his students to "zero in on a topic of inquiry."
"The Grade 1 and 2 class wanted to study polar bears. Before long their questions began to morph into a study of their migratory patterns, which eventually led them to learn about the effects of global warming," Jones told me.
He was speaking about the district's recent decision to funnel another $110,326 towards transformational education initiatives locally, a decision that will begin to bear fruit in 2016.
"Their personal action was to write letters to politicians about what the children could be doing to address the impact of global warming. The teacher's job was to help the children get to the place where they had a question, and then they had the opportunity to access experts in their field."
In this class it was zoo staff, as well as a climate scientist, who came in to share their expertise with the youngsters. Through this experience, Jones believes the kids engaged much more deeply with the subject than they would've had they stuck to the basic curriculum.
"Who would've thought a trip to the zoo could lead to a project on global warming?"
'We have a responsibility to look forward'
Jones has a reputation in the school district as being a visionary, something which inspires a polarizing response from teachers and parents.
There are those who think he's thinking too big for a rural community, and those who would prefer if he focused on maintaining the status quo. But when asked whether transformational education is truly a worthy expenditure for Kootenay Lake schools, Jones couldn't have been firmer.
"We have a responsibility to think ahead and to look forward. It's irresponsible to prepare kids for a world gone by, or solely for the world in which we currently live," he said.
"The reality is, if you listen to the grad speeches, the majority of these students are leaving the community. They might come back, but first they're going into other places in the world."
He believes the district must keep this in mind.
"To think we're educating them to live here in a quiet, rural lifestyle is misleading them and misleading ourselves."
He said the economy is changing, and education has to change in response.
"When we look at where our students are going to be employed, it's not here in our community. They will be employed by multi-national companies and organizations, and that's what we already see today."
So preparing them for a rural, contemporary lifestyle just doesn't make sense. And sticking to outdated education models won't do them any favours.
"They have to have a sense of what the world is and how it works before we send them out there to find out for themselves."
The future of education
Last year Jones' contract as superintendent was renewed until July 2019, and I took the opportunity to find out his plans for the coming years. That was the first time he told me about transformational education.
"Rather than memorization of knowledge, I think we should be assessing student ability to demonstrate skills and competencies they're going to need. We have to ask can they work collaboratively? Can they represent knowledge in many different ways?" he said.
As the school year progressed, I started to notice more and more projects taking place outside classroom walls. One of the first to catch my attention was Teresa Olleck's South Nelson class, who spent the year working in the Hendryx St. Forest Garden.
That was followed by a multi-grade art project in Slocan, a mural collaboration with the Sinixt by Wildflower students and a mock business fair in Rosemont.
"This is the future of education," Jones told me, when I met him at Mount Sentinel Secondary's Sustainability Day in October, in which students toured a neighbouring farm, had workshop discussions on community issues and discussed how best to embrace sustainability at their school.
(That initiative ultimately led to the #WeAreReady banner campaign that called for action from new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.)
"We're challenging traditional paradigms by engaging students in deep inquiry into topics that really matter to them, and we're helping them be thoughtful about how they'll contribute and become leaders in the global community," Jones said. "We've taken our students right out of the traditional timetable and gotten them outside their classroom walls."
Principal Glen Campbell agreed.
"We're trying to make learning relevant, and we're connecting to the kids' own families and friends. We're trying to show them that learning isn't just happening between the pages of a book."
Opening up the possibilities
Jones said in the past innovation has been quashed by an over-reliance on curriculum, and teachers with exciting and effective practices often kept them secret.
He wants to encourage teachers, as well as students, to follow their creative impulses and think outside the box.
"We're looking at a shift towards the teacher being the activator instead of the installer of knowledge. They're activating the learning and engagement within the students so they can delve into the bigger questions. The students then become leaders of their own learning."
And the way they share their discoveries can be idiosyncratic.
"One example is a student could show a panel of people through dance what they know about the impacts of poverty in the local community. Then we could work on how to apply that knowledge so they can assist in some way."
Linking learning to community issues in this way brings the school district in line with the UN's Global Sustainability Goals — another crucial aspect of Jones' educational strategy.
"The global sustainability goals are essentially the hook for global thinking and participation that we can attach our current curriculum to."
For instance, Crawford Bay received funding to support a local food initiative that saw them plant a garden and grow their own food. Since one global sustainability goal is to end hunger worldwide, he said the project fits nicely with their priorities.
"I suspect some students, as a result of their learning, will become members of communities that are looking at bringing food to all people in the world."
Looking forward to 2016
Jones is immensely proud of some of the projects his schools have taken on, including a partnership with a school in South America started by kids at Canyon-Lister and a water project embarked upon by Redfish.
"They were studying a particular issue on the Harrop-Procter side of the lake and ultimately ended up making signs about the plants and wildlife in a special area for the community."
He hopes there will be plenty of projects like these in the coming year. With the new budget surplus allocation, teachers and community partners can start pitching projects to him.
In other words: get dreaming!
For inspiration, Jones shared the story of Zach Bonner, a US student who started a non-profit to raise awareness and money for homeless children and youth. His life story was eventually adapted into the movie The Red Wagon.
"I think to myself: that didn't happen in the confines of a timetable. They still today have what are called Zach-packs, which are backpacks full of teddy bears and food and everything a homeless kid needs to feel normal and loved."
The biggest takeaway from this, according to Jones? That was the work of just one kid.
"That's just one kid. What would happen if a whole school took up the work together?"

Dear Visitors,
under the ebay auctionnummber 330208253557 I have up for bid a very interesting file.
This is the story of these Files:
In Summer 1947 the Oberstleutnant was arrested from the french military police, 6 weeks arrested in Minden and then transferred into the military police prison in Metz. He was charged to be a war criminal in France in May 1940.
The Oberstleutnant wrote in a letter from 17.12.1950 about his captivity: "…During the first 6 Weeks in the prison in Minden I had no possibility to get in touch with somebody, I could not write even to my wife. Nobody knows where I was and why. After the first examining in Minden I knew, that my arresting was in connection with the engangements in 1940 in France. Details i learnd first in early 1948 from the examinig magistrate in Metz. ... I may receive Letters, – but it may nothing contain then the written! For me it is special hard, that to death condemned persons even Packets from the Red Cross and from the Karitas not is allowed."
The witness for the prosecution in his plea for clemency to the french Goverment: "…I regret, that my testifys against results in such consequencies and would please your exelence, to decide lenient and Mr. Kol**** mercy."
Oberstleutnant Hölscher, then the Bataillons commander of Horst Kol***, wrote after the execution: "Sensitiv is my opionion, that *** deserves no mercy, because heself had no mercy . – His Family compared with him, I would knew to protect against disaster, neediness and acre. – I think, that *** did not have the consciousness, by his doing to accept the death of a human, to carry as a heavy load."
The Points of Charge were as follows:
1. The shooting of three French on 26. Mai 1940 in Courrieres
2. The shooting of another French in Courrieres on 28. Mai 1940
3. burning a House, because there were weapons.
The Oberstleutnant was on 26. Oktober 1950 from the Military Court in Lille sentenced to death, and after declining some plea for clemencys on 1. Juni 1951 killed.
If you interested in these Papers, so please take a look for it.
Best Regards
Ralf Anton Schäfer

Sleep is the cousin of death.
Alarm clocks have become a thing of the past. Cardi B has taken it upon herself to play the role of town crier, waking up her husband Offset with a passionate cry for the ages. Clearly, Cardi has had enough of the loafing; perhaps a stack of dishes remain unfinished, or perhaps she is simply feeling nostalgic for her days as an Instagram comedienne of sorts. In any case, Cardi has decided to bless Offset with a merciless wake-up call. Luckily, Offset's constitution proves strong, as a lesser man may have suffered a heart attack.
While his reaction is slightly delayed, there does come a time when his eyes catch the phone. Perhaps the fear of mild public humiliation is enough to send him flying. Perhaps the cacophonous rooster-like cry simply took a minute to register. In any case, it's an endearing insight into their family dynamic.
Should you have no patience for Cardi B and Offset's antics, administer yourself an L for coming this far. Should you find the hip-hop power couple endearing, this may only strengthen your fondness for them. Despite the occasional drama surrounding the widely publicized duo, it's always nice to see Cardi and Offset enjoying life together. Check out the footage below.

I'm just back from an excellent weekend in Chicago, where I attended the Catholic Art Guild's Annual Conference, which this year bore the theme, "Formed In Beauty". Although it's only the second year that the Guild has put on this conference, word has clearly started to spread among those who care about the arts, as I met people from all over the country who came to attend the conference events: clearly a very positive sign for conferences to come. In fact, I had several instances of friends from social media, none of whom live in Chicago and none of whom I had ever met in real life, coming up to me and introducing themselves by their Twitter or Instagram handle, which is always a fun experience.
While the Conference itself took place on Sunday, there were also associated events on Friday and Saturday. This included the Mozart Requiem Mass for the Feast of All Souls Day on Friday, and an in-depth drawing demonstration with live model by artist Juliette Aristides on Saturday. This also left one plenty of time to go explore the pleasures of Chicago in the Autumn, and I got to enjoy watching the sun come up over Lake Shore Drive, snapping pictures of the diverse and interesting buildings for which Chicago is world-renowned, having a very thorough beard "sculpting" at a celebrity-frequented barbershop, and enjoying food and adult beverages at several excellent restaurants.
The Conference day began with a magnificent Mass at the equally magnificent church of St. John Cantius, home of the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius. If you've never begun your day with Mozart – in this case, one of his Missae Breves – you've no idea how it puts a spring in your step. We then adjourned to the Drake Hotel, one of my favorite places on the planet, for the rest of the day's events. This included a luncheon, talks on architecture, music, painting, and sculpture by some truly brilliant practitioners of these arts, interaction opportunities with vendors, and a formal dinner, followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A. I was privileged enough to be allowed to adopt my best Dick Cavett persona and moderate this closing event with the day's invited speakers; I'll post the video from the Guild's YouTube Channel when it's made available.
I also had the opportunity the night before the Conference to have a lengthy sit-down with one of the presenters, Alexander Stoddart, Sculptor in Ordinary to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Expect an article encapsulating our conversation to appear in The Federalist in the not-too-distant future. This is assuming that I can edit such a wide-ranging conversation, covering everything from Susan Boyle to chainsaw log carving competitions to Pointillism, down into something under 2,000 words. He's certainly one of the most engaging interview subjects I've ever had the privilege to have a chat with.
My sincere thanks to Guild President Kathleen Carr, Father Joshua Caswell, and all of those involved in putting on a splendid and thought-provoking event, and for graciously allowing me to participate. Whenever the next Conference is announced, I highly recommend that you put it on your calendar and plan to make a weekend of it. You'll be supporting the work of an organization dedicated to returning beauty, truth, and craftsmanship to the arts, and have the opportunity to meet others who genuinely care about these things, in one of the world's great cities.

Much has been written in recent times about the ability of auction bidders, who after winning an auction bid have a change of heart. Some "experts" have suggested that they should refuse to sign a Contract and walk away. In my view this is dangerous advice because in most parts of Australia auctioneers may be able to legally sign a Contract for Sale on behalf of a reluctant buyer, and also a seller. Even if there is no signed post-auction contract, a winning bidder who has a change of heart may still wind up defending a damages suit – as happened to experienced property investor Jack Singh.
Details about the property sale case
This property sale case has been widely reported but basically Singh was the winning bidder at the auction of an expensive home in Western Australia. His bid was $3.6M. The reserve price of $3.9 M was not reached. As is usually the case the auctioneer took instructions and then advised that the property was "on the market" and if there were no more bids, it would be sold. The bidding was re-opened, no other bids were made, and he "knocked the property down", in other words, sold it, to Singh.
Singh was an experienced and smart property player. When presented with the Contract to sign, Singh asked if the sellers would accept a 60 day settlement. When reminded that the auction terms required settlement in 30 days, Singh said he did not intend to buy the property and left.
What did the sellers lawyers do?
Lawyer's letters flowed demanding he sign the contract and pay the deposit. Neither happened and of course settlement did not take place. The property was put back on the market, did not sell and was subsequently rented out. Singh was sued for damages on account of his misleading and deceptive representations with respect to future matters contrary to Section 4 of the Australian Consumer Law. There were two key parts to the seller's claim:
- firstly that Singh's bid was a misleading and deceptive statement as to a future matter and,
- secondly, that his conduct in allowing the auction to continue without withdrawing his bid, together with his saying and doing nothing to indicate he was not proceeding, misled the sellers and "other persons associated with the auction."
The sellers relied on the overall effect of Singh's conduct.
Judges view matter somewhat differently to normal people and the making of the bid, the judge found he was not a breach of Section 4 because he was satisfied that the bid not only constituted a representation that Singh would comply with the auction conditions to complete the purchase, but also demonstrated an intention to acquire the property with Singh having the financial means to do so. "It was an honest representation," His Honour somehow concluded.
He then went on to look at his "post-bid conduct."
"I find that conduct (including silence)," the judge ruled, "to have been misleading and deceptive in any event."
Singh in the meantime had argued that, at the point when the auctioneer returned and asked for other bids, he decided not to proceed with his bid. He had however not withdrawn the earlier bid, even if he was able to.
Singh claimed that when he and his wife went into the property after the auction, he was 'confused and shocked' and thought he was being invited to re-negotiate the price. For an experienced person such as Singh this was plainly ridiculous. However, in the judge's view, Singh could still reasonably have been expected to take steps to ensure "his new position" was understood by the auctioneer: "His silence would have misled as to his intentions at that point, or would have misled as to his state of mind at that point as to whether he considered he had acquired the property."
What was the outcome for the sellers?
Unfortunately for the sellers the next question was whether their post-auction losses were "because of" Singh's misconduct. The trouble was, although the judge decided his bid was genuine and not misleading, Singh's later mischievous silence caused a loss only of an "opportunity" to restart the auction. As this loss was of "theoretical significance", the sellers claim was sadly dismissed.
This case is unusual in the extreme and anyone attending an auction and being the winning bidder could rightly be expected that they will have to stump up and sign the Contract, pay the deposit and complete the contract.

Mississippi 613 provides one of two routes connecting Moss Point and Pascagoula with points north including Lucedale, the U.S. 98 corridor, and the U.S. 45 corridor. Generally a rural route outside of Moss Point, the two-lane highway forms a 34-mile loop east of Mississippi 63 through eastern Jackson and George Counties. The state route generally parallels the Mississippi Export (MSE) Railroad north to Big Point, Hurley, Agricola.
Through Pascagoula, Mississippi 613 angles northeast along Telephone Road from U.S. 90 (Denny Avenue) east of Downtown. The five-lane boulevard curves northward to become Main Street through Moss Point. The state route lines a commercial strip just west of the city center north to the high level bridge across the Escatawpa River between Beardslee and Robertson Lakes. A diamond interchange links Mississippi 613 with I-10, and the state route extends north with at least three lanes another 1.75 miles to Knowles Avenue.
Historically, the alignment of MS 613 was the previous route for MS 63. MS 63 was realigned westward from Big Point, Hurley and Agricola by 1960, with MS 613 designated northward from their meeting outside Moss Point to U.S. 98 in Lucedale. With a new alignment built for MS 63 south into Moss Point, MS 613 was extended south over the former MS 63 to Pascagoula by 1981.

|MS 613 north confirming marker posted MS 612. The state route separates from the adjacent Mississippi Export (MSE) Railroad in a half mile as it turns northwest. Photo taken 08/20/01.
|Prior to 2001, MS 613 (Mill Street) ended at both MS 63 and MS 198 (Main Street) in Lucedale, With completion of the MS 63 expressway west of the city, the state route was dropped from Winter and Main Streets through the George County seat. Photo taken 10/20/99.

|MS 612 travels seven miles east to the Alabama state line. The unincorporated community of Wilmer lies 11.5 miles east via MS 612, Natchez Highway (CR 7) and U.S. 98. Photo taken 03/29/09.
|MS 613 continues south from MS 612 alongside the MSE line to Agricola. Photo taken 03/29/09.
|MS 613 south meets MS 614 at a four way stop sign in the community of Hurley. MS 614 heads west to MS 63 at Wade and east to Arena and CR 56 to Mobile, Alabama. Photo taken 05/26/01.

Every smartphone warms up when operating. Whether you are scrolling Facebook posts or watching a YouTube video, your phone heats up slightly when in use. However, if your phone becomes too hot when using certain apps or when gaming, you have reasons to be concerned.
Why does Gaming Heat up your Phone?
Like laptops and desktop computers, smartphones have GPUs and CPUs. They rely on your phone's battery to function properly. That's not the main problem though. GPUs and CPUs dissipate heat while running mobile apps. The more you play, the more heat they generated, leading to a warmer or unbearably hot device.
Sometimes it's not your phone's chipset or graphics card that causes it to heat up. A bad battery could be the problem. Gaming with too many apps running in the background could also be the issue As such, there is no single answer as to why your mobile phone heats up.
Identifying the Problem
While your phone could be heating up for multiple reasons, there ways to find out where the problem lies. If the heat comes from the top front part of your screen, that's the result of the CPU and GPU dissipating heat. On the other hand, heat coming from the back usually means there is a problem with the battery.
Remember that time When Samsung Galaxy S7 phones went on an explosion rampage? The problem was their batteries. Samsung tried to manage damage by recalling 2.5 million units but not without dealing with hundreds of lawsuits. Your phone's charging system can also heat up your phone. And unlike the chipset area, it's easy to have the charging system fixed. Concerning the battery, doing repair depends on whether it's removable or not. If it's not-removable, find the manufacturer's support agents and have them fix it. The chipset is the most difficult part to repair. If it's the source of the heating problem, follow these tips to cool your phone down.
Limit your Gaming TimeThis is a huge compromise if you have a game you always binge-play. But if you don't want to damage the phone completely, stop playing continuously all-day long. Most phones generate a safe amount of heat within the first two hours of gaming. After that, the heat tends to increase toward the unsafe zone.
A better alternative is to use your phone to play simple mobile games. Puzzle games, social games, adventures, and match 3 games rarely overheat your phone. If you play to pass time while having a little fun, use your phones to play the simple games. For serious gaming, upgrade your mobile device or use a gaming PC.
Always Close Background Apps
When you choose to minimize apps as opposed to closing them, they continue to use up your battery and processing power. And since gaming also contributes to your phones' heating up—the combined apps generate more heating than you should deal with.
Because of these reasons, always close any apps running in the background before you decide to play. Take note of power-guzzling apps like video streaming networks and other gaming apps. They cause more damage than social network apps.
Configure your Settings
Playing Fortnite on a bright screen and with your earbuds on gives you an optimal experience. But do you really need the extra brightness? Do you have to play with the game soundtracks full blast? Visit your settings and make the necessary changes. Besides lowering screen brightness and sound levels, turn off your WiFi connection if you don't need it at the moment.
If your Bluetooth is on, turn it off. Find several other settings that consume your phone's power and temporarily disable them.
Don't Play in the Sun
Because, well…some people need to be reminded of this. Using your phone under the sun's heat could damage it. And when what you are doing is playing mobile games, the heat from the sun and heat generated by your phone could cause irreparable damage within months.
Update your OS
Most people don't take OS updates seriously. Especially mobile OS updates, people tend to ignore them. Sometimes updates can erase data on your device but you can always backup your files. Old OS can easily be infiltrated by bugs and viruses and compete for your phone's power with legitimate apps.
Update your phone's systems frequently. However, make sure you backup your data to avoid losing them after an update.

Asked by Kira Hamoudeh | Submitted January 31, 2016
I am a disabled mother of 3 taking care of my disabled mother. Is there any way for me to get ahead?
Only 1 of my children receive benefits from Social Security and that is from her father's. Mine does not cover my kids.
Answers | 1
Hi Kira, I'm guessing what you mean by "to get ahead" is financially? Social Security serves as a social safety net. Because you and one child receives some type of benefit, it's possible "other" benefits and access to programs may be available to you. I don't know what state you are in to direct you to a specific department, but you can contact SSA @ 800.772.1213 AND contact your state's social and health services department.
Good luck, wish you well,
