We love it when the bell rings. It's a peculiar sound, something between a doorbell and a buzzer, that lets us know a pro se litigant visiting Courtroom5's website has a question.
We're in business to help those who help themselves in court, so it's always a pleasure to stop what we're doing to take a question.
The questions come in all shapes and sizes, from the definition of a legal term ("res judicata" or "relation back") to truly heart-wrenching stories we can't do much about.
Here's a sample from pro se litigants received in the last few days:
- A lawyer for the other side has filed for summary judgment. Can I have it dismissed?
- I filed my complaint and haven't heard back. I mailed and faxed the complaint three weeks ago. What should I do?
- I just found out about a case against me and a default judgment. What do I do?
- I received an order on a motion to dismiss, which was granted with prejudice. Can I file a motion to reconsider this order?
- What is judicial notice, and can it be used in opposition to summary judgment?
- I have a hearing on a motion to vacate. How do I prepare an oral argument?
- How do I file a motion to compel to get my son to sign over a deed?
- How do you deal with attorney and judge corruption and perjury going on within a case?
- Child protective services has given permission to a doctor to allow my children to be put on medication. How can I stop this?
- Can the doctrine of laches limit the length of time for recovery? For instance, if payments have been missed for 4 years and the analogous statute of limitations is 2 years, and the case was brought within a year of the final missed payment, can recovery be limited to 2 years of missed payments or extended to the full 4?
Sometimes we're able to offer a simple answer, often with a link to some authoritative source. Legal information is easy to find these days, if you know what to look for and where to look.
Other times, we lend a sympathetic ear as someone unloads on a judge or opposing lawyer. We've all heard it so many times, and we've experienced it ourselves. We know how it feels to get screwed in court.
Most often though, we engage pro se litigants who struggle just to ask the right questions. These are average people — sometimes well educated people — who find themselves fighting lawyers in a system built for lawyers.
They need help understanding what's happening because no one in the system is willing to stop and explain things to them.
Of course, these are questions asked by pro se litigants who aren't yet members of Courtroom5. Our members don't have questions like these because it's our business to ensure they're capable of answering them for themselves.
When you join Courtroom5, you're automagically ushered through a tour of the platform — at your own pace — that's hands on and practical but also educational at its core. Part of the tour includes a short course on the stages of litigation and what's important (and not important) at each stage. So in as little as two hours, you come out a lot smarter about litigation than when you started.
That's when the fun begins. When you understand the process of litigation better than our live-chat questioners, you make intelligent use of our document templates, legal research and other tools. You take advanced courses that help you strut your stuff in a courtroom. And you get serious feedback on your moves from experienced members of our community, who frankly wouldn't bother to answer questions from those less prepared.
That's okay with us. We're paid to take questions from anyone with a civil case they're handling alone, and a little time to visit and chat with us. Hope you'll come by soon.
If you've been representing yourself for awhile, you're probably doing just fine. But isn't it time you took a Courtroom5 membership for a spin?
One thing I know for sure — it'll make you better in court.
Pssst! Hey, you there, struggling to win your case. Isn't it time you gave Courtroom5 a spin? We publish articles like this to help you level the playing field, but it's sometimes too late to save your case. Stop trying to catch up. Get ahead of the game and start driving your case to the judgment you deserve. See how it works today!

Win-XP kills Verizon DSL
Note: Really nice article on theregus.com. On Friday morning my Verizon DSL Internet access died. This was hardly unusual, so I paid it no mind and simply took an unscheduled long weekend. But Saturday morning it was still dead, and there were no reports of service outages in my area. Clearly this would require some looking into.
I experimented a bit and came to suspect that the issue was on Verizon's side. And so it was, with an interesting twist courtesy of Microsoft, I eventually confirmed; but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
It's a good thing I didn't have any social obligations until Saturday night; when all was said and done, Verizon had taken seven hours of my time in exasperating, repetitive, futile interactions with their tech support staff, and no doubt a few months off my lifespan.
Click here for more. The next article is a link to Microsoft that discusses the "hack" for the fix.

Criminal Justice
Featured Courses
In today's super-charged political climate, immigration law and policy is front-page news nearly every day. In keeping with the times – and the topics and issues that matter – STAC recently unveiled a new course, CJ/POLI SCI 300: Immigration Law and Policy.
Designed by practicing attorney and adjunct professor, Bill Quirk, the Immigration Law and Policy course introduces students to U.S. law and policy, including close examination of the history of immigration laws in America, social issues, and the American political landscape.
"I encourage anyone who comes from a family of immigrants or anyone interested in constitutional law, criminal law, or current issues to take the class," Professor Quirk says. "This class will allow you to understand what is correct and what is incorrect about the statements made by people in the news about immigration issues."
Students in this course examine the history of immigration in America, the guiding principles of immigration law in post-9/11 America, and how recent policy shifts will affect immigrants in the United States.
The course brings real case law into the classroom. "As a practicing attorney, my experiences help bring students an understanding of what they are learning. Real-world experience is what students gravitate toward," Professor Quirk says. "It brings me a lot of happiness to be able to teach things I've experienced."
In addition to Immigration Law and Policy, Professor Quirk teaches a 400-level course for STAC's criminal justice department. Learn more about Professor Quirk.

PLANTATION -- Nude bars have never operated in this city.
But the City Council, following the lead of several other Broward County cities, is planning to adopt a new ordinance restricting the clubs -- just to make sure.
The new ordinance is modeled after one adopted last year by the city of Fort Lauderdale, which was patterned after ordinances already on the books in Orange County, Leon County, Daytona Beach and Jacksonville.
"The anti-nudity ordinance is stronger than what is currently on our books in that it has repetitively met court challenges throughout Florida," Plantation City Attorney Donald Lunny Sr. wrote in a memo to the City Council.
Plantation should toughen its law so the clubs don't move here, he said.
The proposed ordinance states that it would prohibit "total nudity in establishments where alcoholic beverages, beer or wine are sold."
With a glance at its contents, the City Council decided to set a public hearing for the ordinance in the next few weeks, the first step toward making the proposal law.
The passage of the anti-nudity ordinance in Fort Lauderdale was a stormy and colorful one, featuring lawsuits from owners of nude clubs and public hearings packed with the nude clubs' dancers claiming the ordinance would destroy their livelihoods.
Business at these clubs has fallen dramatically since passage of the ordinance in Fort Lauderdale. Dancers are forced to wear bikinis in clubs that serve alcohol. They still dance in the buffin clubs that serve non-alcoholic drinks.

Change That Lasts Ask Me scheme
What is the Change That Lasts "Ask me" scheme?
The 'ask me' scheme aims to break the silence around domestic abuse within a community and to remove the barriers that make it hard for survivors to tell others about their experiences. Individuals in the community receive a free two-day training course on understanding domestic abuse. Then they are invited to become community ambassadors to share that learning with others and challenge myths, stereotypes and victim blaming attitudes in the community.
By the end of the course, ambassadors should be able to:
- Understand the nature and impact of domestic abuse
- Feel confident in how to respond to myths and victim blaming
- Feel equipped to support someone sharing their personal experiences of abuse
- Use skills to share information with survivors about specialist support services
- Understand the role of the ambassador, next steps and how to keep in touch
Training is taking place across Powys.
To find out more about the scheme and register your interest, please contact email@example.com or call the project coordinator on 07940008783.

It's apparent by now that nutrition and food is one of my passions. The more cookbooks, healthy eating plans and other resources I peruse, the more I notice that one of my favorite foods is almost always missing — potatoes! I'm going to stand on my soapbox for a minute and say that I just do not get it. I'm not suggesting that you have a hall pass to eat unlimited french fries, potato chips and sour cream smothered baked potatoes. BUT — Prepared well, potatoes are a wealth of nutrients, low calorie, and such a comfort food.
What do they have to offer specifically? Lets break it down.
One medium potato contains:
-Vitamin B6: 10% daily value of one of my favorite vitamins, known for reducing depression, insomnia, and PMS
-Vitamin C: approximately 45% of your daily value
-Potassium: more than bananas and spinach!
-Fiber: about 4 grams per potato, most of which is in the skin, so eat that too!
-Vitamin B3
-Caffeic and ferulic acids: phytochemical that may fight carcinogens
-Complex carbohydrates: May help manage depression, heartburn and memory function
I do HIGHLY recommend that you buy potatoes organic if they are available to you. They are part of the Environmental Working Group's "Dirty Dozen," the top 12 foods affected by pesticide use. They retain pesticides even after washing and peeling them! You can check out the rest of the 'dirty dozen' and 'clean fifteen' here: http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/summary.php
One of my favorite ways to cook potatoes is skillet-style. Here's a recipe for you:
Rosemary-Thyme Skillet Potatoes
-4 or 5 red potatoes, cubed (or any kind you have around)
-3 tbsp coconut oil
-1 tbsp dried rosemary
-1/2 tbsp dried thyme
Heat a large skillet and add the coconut oil until melted. Throw in the potatoes and coat with the oil, herbs and some salt and pepper to taste. Cover the skillet and cook on medium heat for 6 or 7 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
The potatoes get a nice golden brown on the outside and taste like pure comfort. Not to mention the coconut oil and herbs add their own health benefits!
Next time you're craving some starch, skip the pasta and go the potato route. You will not be disappointed.
Until next time,
♥ Stephanie

Mother nature played a factor during the 10th annual Up in The Air for Family Care event Saturday evening at the Starlight Ranch after other weekend festivities occurred as planned.
Because Saturday's winds clocked in at nearly 15 mph, the numerous hot air balloonists from around the country only got the chance to bring out their baskets and shoot fire up into the air.
Despite the weather, the balloonists and crowd were all at the Starlight Ranch in support of the Family Care Foundation.
Foundation chairman David Jones said the nonprofit focuses on gap medical care in the Panhandle region.
"What I mean by that is that if there is a financial need and something has come up … you may not have the financial resources to access that," Jones said. "(We are for someone) who finds themselves in a situation and they need help and don't financially have the resources."
The foundation funds everything from eyeglasses to the construction of wheelchair ramps as well as dental work. Michael Glen, a 10-year veteran balloonist at the event from Roswell, New Mexico, said what the foundation does is help provide when insurance stops.
"The foundation is meeting the needs of people with disabilities like mine or any kind of hospital needs that gap in-between," Glen said.
Glen is the first paraplegic hot air balloonist to get his license from the Federal Aviation Administration. He said after his accident in 1996 left him paralyzed from the waist down, he was lucky to have a community behind him to help provide those additional medical costs. But it is important for Glen to support an organization that helps provide those services for the Panhandle.
"For me, the neatest thing is that I know the money is going back to a really good charity in the local area that does a lot that no one knows about," he said.
As part of the weekend's festivities, balloonists went out to area schools Friday and Saturday morning, where they were able to inflate and fly their hot air balloons. Jones said it gives the foundation the chance to reach new people and spread their message.
That contact with the students at area schools helped the balloon rally start 10 years ago, Jones said, helping the first-ever rally in Amarillo have more than 2,500 people attend at the Don Harrington Discovery Center.
Over the time he has spent coming to the event, Glen has spoken to many students around the Amarillo area about his story and the importance of seatbelt safety, a factor that contributed to his accident, as well as the importance of going after your dreams.
"I have been fortunate to speak with about 15,000 school kids around Amarillo over the 10 years," Glen said.
As the event has grown over the years, it has moved from the Discovery Center to the Starlight Ranch. Jones said he hopes the event grows even more in the future, eventually having 20-25 hot air balloons participating.
Glen said he will always have a childlike attitude toward hot air balloons.
"We all turn into little kids," he said. "I have been around balloons my whole life, 44 years, and I still turn into that 10- or 12-year-old boy, looking at balloons wide-eyed open. I have thousands and thousands and thousands of hot air balloon pictures on my phone, and I take them every single time."
Glen said he loves coming to Amarillo to fly his balloons. But the wind factor makes it hard.
"It's a challenging place to fly, being known for their wind," Glen said. "Unfortunately, we are suckers to the wind. Mother nature sometimes wins."

- A man has gone viral on Reddit for his decision to charge an overweight man sitting next to him on a flight $US150 for encroaching on his seat.
- He came up with the figure as it was half the cost of the plane ticket.
- A flight attendant had suggested the obese passenger should pay for an extra seat, but then realised the flight was full.
- The neighbour was apparently happy to pay the $US150 as an alternative to booking another flight entirely.
- People are divided over whether the disgruntled passenger did the right thing.
A man charged an obese passenger sitting next to him on a flight $US150 for encroaching on to his seat, and people aren't sure how they feel about it.
The anonymous man wrote a post about his experience on Reddit in the AITA (Am I The A——) forum and it has since gone viral.
Perhaps what has most surprised people was the fact that the overweight man was happy to pay his neighbour the money.
The disgruntled passenger explained how he had deliberately chosen an aisle seat in a row of two for his five-hour cross-country flight – presumably across the US, though he doesn't provide more detail.
"A very obese man boards and I can tell instantly he is going to have a tough time fitting in any of the seats," the traveller explained.
He then discovered the man had been assigned the seat next to him.
"He sits down and is easily seeping into about 1/3 of my seat," the man continued. "I sit down and am pressed up against him, making me uncomfortable."

After about a minute, the man decided to confront his neighbour, reportedly saying: "Sir, I'm sorry but this situation is not working for me, you're taking up quite a bit of my seat."
The larger man apparently tried to tighten his arms and squeeze himself in to take up less space, but it didn't really make a difference.
The Redditor then raised the issue with a flight attendant, who suggested the obese man purchase a second seat – but this didn't turn out to be an option, as the plane was fully booked.
"The guy seemed embarrassed and didn't want to get up," the Redditor wrote. "He mentioned how he can't wait for a later flight.
"I felt bad for him but I was also thinking about my own comfort on the long flight – the comfort I paid for."
He went on: "The flight attendant tells him that unless someone on the flight agrees to let him take up part of their seat, he'll need to book another flight. The guy seems really flustered by this ultimatum, and here's where I made my offer."
The man told his larger neighbour that he would "put up with" the situation if he agreed to pay him $US150.
"That's half the cost of this flight and that would compensate me enough for the circumstances," he apparently said.
He said the obese man agreed "instantly," handing over the money in cash and reportedly saying he "appreciated" it.
However, the passengers sitting behind the duo overheard what was happening and, according to the Redditor, were muttering that he was an "a——."
"From my perspective, I gave the guy a valid option to stay on the flight and I was compensated for literally having only 75% of my seat max (let alone the feeling of a person's body pressed against you involuntarily)," he said.
"A win-win. He wasn't angry at all, if anything he seemed quite relieved we could work it out privately."

Reaction to his story has been mixed, with some leaping to his defence and others criticising him for making a fuss.
"The $US150 didn't make you any less squished in your seat, so it really feels like you just blackmailed this guy for being fat," one person wrote.
However, some Redditors disagreed, with one commeding the man for letting "the guy stay on the flight, have enough room to accommodate without paying for two seats, and without the embarassment and inconvenience of having to get off and wait for the next flight that wasn't fully booked."
Meanwhile, oothers blamed the airline, which isn't named in the story: "The airline wasn't going to compensate him, but obviously thought it was enough of an issue that they were going to kick the bigger guy onto a later flight," commented one person.
The debate around whether larger passengers should pay for two plane seats has been a hot topic for years, and policies differ from airline to airline.
Some, such as Air Canada, actively endeavour to accommodate obese passengers free of charge. However, the website for the Canadian airline states: "It may not always be possible to accommodate passengers who require extra seating because they are disabled by obesity."
Alaska Airlines, in contrast, says: "We require the purchase of an additional seat for any customer who cannot comfortably fit within one seat with the armrests in the down position."
Meanwhile, the policy on American Airlines policy states: "For the safety and comfort of all customers, if a customer's body extends more than one inch beyond the outermost edge of the armrest and a seat belt extension is needed, another seat is required."

Ok let's talk nails. The nail industry has been lit for the better part of 2019 and that's a fact. Thanks to rappers like Cardi B, Meg Thee Stallion and celebs/models the world was reintroduced to long acrylic nails but with a modern artsy twist. Long gone are the days where claw-like nails in crazy colors, prints and even adorned with gemstones are seen as gaudy and ghetto. These days acrylic nails are taking front stage with features from fashion magazines like Vogue and Harpers Bazzar. But these looks are a comeback and ode to a generation past. The artfully done up nails we glorify and crave were cemented in the culture back in 1997 with blockbuster B.A.PS
B.A.PS or Black American Princesses highlighted long nails, be it press on or acrylic, in a ghetto fabulous and glamorous way. The main characters Nisi and Mickey (played by Hallee Berry and Natalie Desselle) sported an array of colorful latex outfits that weren't complete without their coordinating claws. Whether it be square tips in bright neon orange, long moody red acrylics or gold tips to match their gold teeth the pair where never without a fresh set of nails. In true pop-culture fashion, B.A.PS laid the groundwork for long nails, and though styles and artists today are highly publicized thanks to platforms like Instagram and Snapchat it is hard to deny the influence B.A.PS had on the industry. Social media has played a big part in the comeback of this trend. Nail artists to celebs have leaped to fame from Instagram and shows like Claws and Nail'd It has shown just how creative manicures can be. As a long-standing fan of cute short nails jazzed up a-la Vashtie, we are opening our minds to the longer styles that have taken over the industry.

You may be in the market to purchase a new home and as a result are looking for a realtor to help you find the home of your dreams. Finding a home for your family is a huge deal and not one you will want to take lightly. This is why it is so important that you find a realtor that you will be able to fully trust with your needs and desires. There are many characteristics of a winning realtor and in this article we will touch on three of those most important characteristics.
One of the most important characteristics of a winning realtor to me would be integrity. If you can find a realtor that will be honest no matter the circumstances and how they will affect either of you, you have found a winning realtor. There are so many places in real estate where it would be very easy for a realtor to fib even just a little to help make the sale a success. The problem is that once you purchase a home you will find out exactly everything that is wrong with it one way or the other. If you have been lead down a road of deceit by your realtor you will not be able to do anything about it. A good, honest realtor who is more concerned about making the client happy than about bagging the sale is one in which you should be on the lookout for. Rest assured there are some realtors out there that do have a strong integrity and that will lead you in the correct path on your search for a wonderful home for your family.
Another characteristic of a winning realtor would be one that has good communication skills. Since the selling and buying of a home involves rather large sums of money, good communication skills are very important for a winning realtor to have. You will have to schedule appointments with the realtor, which will need to be communicated effectively in order for everyone to show up on time and not interrupt the owner of the home. Also you will need to have a realtor that can communicate well so that she can do a good job of negotiating with the owner of the home and their realtor. Good communication is a key ability for any good realtor to possess.
Lastly another characteristic of a winning realtor would be her experience and skill. If you have ever dealt with a new realtor fresh out of school you would know what I mean. You should look for someone that has been in the business for a while and that knows the area in which you are searching for a home like the back of her hand.

When you think of a shadow you think of the absence of light, but what if you could turn conventional wisdom on its head? Trinity Blackout Shadow welcomes you into a world in which nothing is quite what it seems, and your dark fabric is actually a natural charcoal that brings any space to life.
We love the idea of pairing Shadow with light lively natural shades to provide some natural balance and contrast. Light woods and hessian canvases would be a couple of ideas you might think about exploring a little further.

The New York Giants moved on from Janoris Jenkins on Friday after the injured cornerback tweeted a slur toward a fan who had been critical of him earlier this week.
"This was an organizational decision," coach Pat Shurmur said in a statement from the team.
"From ownership to management to our football operations, we felt it was in the best interests of the franchise and the player. Obviously, what happened this week, and the refusal to acknowledge the inappropriate and offensive language, was the determining factor."
The Giants waived Jenkins with an injury designation after he suffered an ankle injury Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jenkins, in an apparent reaction to the announcement, tweeted: "Best news ever.. Thank you"
–Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston will start Sunday against the Detroit Lions, Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said.
Winston appeared healthy enough to throw short to intermediate passes during practice, indicating improvement in his right thumb, which he injured late in the second quarter of Sunday's 38-35 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
–Linebacker Jarrad Davis and starting offensive linemen Rick Wagner and Joe Dahl were ruled out by the Detroit Lions for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
Davis is dealing with ankle and knee injuries. Wagner is sitting out with a knee ailment while Dahl is bothered by back and knee injuries.
Also ruled out were defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson (shoulder) and quarterback Matthew Stafford (hip/back).
–Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has signed a four-year contract extension, the team announced.
The deal is worth $40 million, NFL Network reported, citing a source. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it includes $21.5 million in guarantees with an $8 million signing bonus.
–San Francisco 49ers nose tackle D.J. Jones will be placed on injured reserve Saturday due to an ankle injury, coach Kyle Shanahan reconfirmed.
Jones, 24, entered play against the New Orleans Saints last Sunday with an injured ankle, then sustained a high sprain on his other ankle during San Francisco's victory, according to Shanahan.
–The Washington Redskins placed veteran linebacker Ryan Kerrigan on injured reserve due to a calf injury.
The four-time Pro Bowler suffered the injury in Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.
Prior to this month, Kerrigan had played in 139 straight games (all starts) before sitting out for the first time in his career against the Carolina Panthers on Dec. 1 due to a concussion.
–Philadelphia Eagles star right guard Lane Johnson has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Redskins due to an ankle injury.
Johnson suffered a high sprain of his left ankle during Monday's game against the New York Giants and was carted off the field.
Receiver Alshon Jeffery, who injured his foot against the Giants, will undergo surgery to repair a Lisfranc fracture, coach Doug Pederson told reporters.
–Eli Manning will start Sunday for the New York Giants against the Miami Dolphins as rookie quarterback Daniel Jones continues to recover from a high-ankle sprain, the team confirmed.
Manning started Monday night's game in Philadelphia, a 23-17 overtime New York loss, in place of Jones, who was injured in the Giants' 31-13 loss to the Packers on Dec. 1.
–Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton practiced on a limited basis for the second day in a row, and appears on track to play Monday night for a team in desperate need of some good news.
Hilton injured his calf back on Oct. 27 and has played in only one of the Colts' six games since. In that time, Indianapolis has gone 1-5 and fallen from AFC South leader to on the verge of playoff elimination.
–Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was ruled out after he aggravated his knee injury at practice on Thursday.
Smith-Schuster practiced in full Wednesday and looked on track to play until Thursday's incident.
–Minnesota Vikings receiver Adam Thielen is set to return to action for Sunday's road game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Thielen was removed from the club's injury list, making him probable to play. He has missed four straight games and five of the past six due to a hamstring injury.
–The Arizona Cardinals released seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker Terrell Suggs, ending his 13-game tenure with the club.
Suggs, 37, posted 5 1/2 sacks and four forced fumbles this season, his first in Arizona after 16 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. The pass rusher will be on waivers until Monday.
–Former New Orleans Saints standout linebacker Vaughan Johnson has died. He was 57.
Johnson died at his home in North Carolina on Thursday due to kidney disease and lung failure, according to CrescentCitySports.com. He played eight seasons with the Saints from 1986-93. His Pro Bowl selections were from 1989-92.

Hospital failings led to death of 'wonderful' 68 year old who choked to death on food
PUBLISHED: 06:00 22 September 2018 | UPDATED: 09:59 24 September 2018
©2018 INS News Desk/INS News Agency Ltd
The daughter of a severely schizophrenic woman who died choking on chocolate cake in the care of a Reading psychiatric hospital has spoken of her grief at the death of her "loving, supportive and intelligent" mother.
"She loved nothing more than sitting on the benches in Broad Street with a can of coke just watching the world go by."
This is how 42-year-old Christie Dyball described her late mother, Anne Roberts.
Having grown up in foster care from the age of six, Mrs Dyball has few photographs of Miss Roberts, who died almost a year ago while in the care of a Reading psychiatric hospital.
But instead she has placed a bench in her own front garden, in a quiet street in Cromer.
She said: "The sun comes round in the evenings and we can just sit there and remember her, and how supportive and misunderstood she was."
Miss Roberts, a retired cleaner, was diagnosed with schizophrenia when her daughter was a child.
But despite coping with her condition for more than 35 years, she had a stable and independent life, and a happy relationship with her only daughter and her two grandchildren; calling herself 'Nanny' to Mrs Dyball's two girls.
After a fall in 2015 she moved into sheltered housing, but struggled to manage the change.
Mrs Dyball said: "She went downhill really severely in 2017."
Miss Roberts was on medication for conditions including schizophrenia, COPD and an enlarged heart and had previously always taken her prescriptions.
But her daughter said: "I don't think she was taking her psychiatric medication or the physical medication was having an adverse effect because she went downhill quite rapidly.
"We went to see her for her birthday in August 2017, with my daughters and had a terrible weekend because she was beginning a psychosis.
"She was acting very strange and calling me a bad person.
"Her tablets were all open in a mess at the bottom of her trolley - all the different pills."
On the way home, Mrs Dyball was contacted by the Royal Berkshire Hospital with the news Miss Roberts had overdosed.
She was admitted to Prospect Park Hospital (PPH), in Tilehurst, on August 26, and sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
Miss Roberts suffered a choking incident on September 22, and was resuscitated by staff at PPH.
She remained at the hospital and a speech and language therapist (SALT) recommended she be placed on a soft diet.
But just six days later, on September 28, she choked on a piece of chocolate cake, solid food she was not supposed to have been given, and this time staff were unable to resuscitate her.
An inquest into Miss Roberts' death found that guidelines in relation to her dietary needs were "inadequately passed on" to staff directly involved in her care, and that staff actions were inadequate to minimise her risk of choking, despite the previous incident.
The inquest found Miss Roberts was at "high risk of choking".
The narrative conclusion, returned in just two-and-a-half hours, found staff "observed [her] in an unsuitable eating position for a number of minutes".
Two care assistants gave Miss Roberts her lunch in her room, as she was under two-to-one care.
Her furniture had been withdrawn for her own safety, and she was fed on her mattress.
Her daughter believes her position, reclining on her left side, meant the staff supervising her, one from outside the room, did not immediately notice her choking.
Mrs Dyball said: "We don't know for certain how long she was eating that food for before they noticed she was choking."
The inquest heard from the two care assistants that it was thought to have been around two minutes.
Speaking to this newspaper, Mrs Dyball paid tribute to her mother.
She said: "She was very intelligent. She passed her 11+ and went to grammar school, but she had a very unhappy childhood.
"She wasn't particularly loved and left home at the age of 16.
"She lived in the same council house, and enjoyed shopping and watching television. She doted on my two daughters, Lily and Rachel, and was a wonderful, supportive grandmother.
"Despite being brought up in foster care from the age of six, I always saw her regularly.
"She never missed a visit and we maintained contact after the girls were born.
"She had beautiful handwriting. I found this card she wrote to my daughter.
"She really was a bright lady but she just had an awful lot of bad luck in her life."
Mrs Dyball added: "This year has been hard. We haven't really had a holiday or done a great deal.
"I'm going to get a simple little bronze plaque for the bench, just to say 'in memory of a loving mum and grandmother'."
The inquest's findings:
The inquest into Miss Roberts' death concluded failings in her care caused or contributed to her death.
After a four-day inquest at Reading Town Hall, a jury said the speech and language therapist's (SALT) guidelines in relation to Anne's diet were not adequately passed on to staff on her ward and handover notes were inadequately detailed.
They returned a narrative conclusion on Friday, September 14, 2018, which found the medical cause of her death to be choking.
The conclusion stated it was appropriate to give Miss Roberts lunch in her room, "due to the high risk of harm to self, patients, and staff".
But they found her food was unsuitable for her needs and staff didn't do enough to prevent her choking.
These failings caused or contributed to her death.
Assistant coroner for Berkshire, Ravi Sidhu, said he intended to issue a Prevention of Future Deaths (PFD) report into Mrs Roberts' death in due course.
The hospital's response:
The Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust operates Prospect Park Hospital.
Helen Mackenzie, director of nursing and governance, said: "I would like to express our sadness and deepest condolences to the family of Anne Roberts following her tragic death in September 2017.
"As the organisation responsible for Anne's care, we cooperated fully with the Coroner's inquiry and accept the jury's findings in this case.
"Immediately following Anne's death, we made changes to areas of practice we identified as requiring improvement.
"We also conducted an investigation which highlighted additional areas of learning, and further work to strengthen our systems and processes was fully implemented prior to the inquest.
"This has included increased investment in speech and language therapy staff and resources, and the delivery of specialist training to our medical and nursing staff.
"We are continuing to monitor our procedures to make sure we provide the best possible care for our patients now and in the future."

.@seanomalley04 wanted a highlight reel KO & he got one! #LFA11 @LFAfighting pic.twitter.com/atKCFDgwXZ
— AXS TV Fights (@AXSTVFights) May 6, 2017
Friday evening Sean O'Malley kept his unbeaten streak in tact as he picked up his 7th professional win against David Nuzzo.
O'Malley predicted prior to the fight that he would win via KO. Sure enough, come fight night, O'Malley did just that as he picked up a 1st round KO win over Nuzzo as he landed a perfectly timed wheel kick as his opponent bounced off the cage.
While the win extended O'Malley's undefeated professional record TO 7-0, Nuzzo fell to 5-2 after the KO loss.
Following the win, O'Malley spoke about the KO win, saying:
"That's exactly what I was expecting, was a knockout like that,"
The fight took place at LFA 11 in Phoenix, Arizona, which aired on AXS TV, and featured a main event scrap between Matthew Frincu and Maycon Mendonca, where Frincu picked up a 1st round KO win to extend his professional record to 10-2.

The Philippines' capital city, Manila, stands as a beacon of commercial potential to the private sector, host to a recent World Economic Forum summit, home to some of the world's most famous, and infamous, global retail brands. Busy, built up, urban Asia. Opportunistic, dynamic but, in fact, wholly deceiving.
Turn this promotional pamphlet over and what lies beneath is, at best, a flimsy and precarious reality…
Twice as many Filipinos live in poverty than the entire population of Cambodia. Inequality is rife in the Philippines and, throughout much of the country, infrastructure and access routes to market for the majority of the 100 million population are inadequate.
Whilst the Philippines is brimming with people wanting to buy things, as one of the companies I met on a recent visit described it: "This is a nation of materialistic consumers, but no one has any money".
I was visiting Tacloban, one of the country's most damaged districts following the carnage caused after Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) swept through some of the nation's poorest communities last November.
Yolanda destroyed 33 million coconut trees, and with them the livelihoods of thousands of Filipinos. To replant and grow back the trees takes eight years
Perhaps the most striking statistic is that the Philippines is the third most seasonally affected nation on earth, in terms of disasters (the islands of Tonga and Vanuatu are the only countries ranked as more vulnerable).
Typhoon Yolanda underscored this statistic with harrowing impact on 8 November 2013. Recorded as the largest ever storm to make landfall, Yolanda displaced millions of Filipinos and changed their lives forever. My visit was to witness how NGOs such as CARE had been involved in providing humanitarian assistance following the typhoon.
What I saw both inspired and angered me.
'Inspired' because in the critical moments after a disaster on this scale, anyone intervening is in the business of saving lives. Tarpaulin, water, food, medicine. Survival is paramount. And the resilience that people demonstrate in the face of such moments is awe-inspiring.
The force of Yolanda destroyed buildings of all sizes
If you have ever built a den in your back garden, then you are not very far from the reality that faced the many hundreds of thousands of people in places such as Tacloban last November, during the days after Yolanda struck. Pitching a tent to house your family temporarily, not knowing when the next storm might hit; and then, with help, and during the next phase of recovery, turning this into a wooden structure, and being given the equivalent of $50 by an NGO such as CARE to purchase livestock (pigs, chickens) to produce eggs and meat and to sustain your family...
These were, and remain, the realities for the people I met.
And whilst CARE's 'Build Back Safer' programme for rural households continues – designed to provide sturdier structures and a model where the community themselves are in control of the rebuilding work – many people in Tacloban are still without proper shelter.
Similarly, whilst CARE successfully trained people to take on new livelihoods, such as rearing livestock, helping put them back on their feet, there remains a significant challenge to ensure rural populations improve their resilience for when another inevitable disaster strikes.
Downtown Tacloban
Many people I met in Tacloban are now getting by earning $3-4 a day through these new and alternative livelihoods (barely qualifying them to hit the annual $1,000 World Bank ceiling to make it above low-income status) – but are they financially prepared for the next 'shock'?
What was eye opening to realise was that even before Yolanda, the majority of households in these areas had very little income-earning enterprises to rely on in the first place. The typhoon set them back further still, and many are living today in desperate need.
Outside our guest house in downtown Tacloban, a family of four slept overnight on the street – the mother's arms and legs as best she could intertwined between her three young children's, in an attempt to provide them with the only shelter she had available to her.
Nearby, we saw a landed ship, flung over as it was in the tidal surge during Yolanda and killing scores of families.
Dismantling a ship blown inland by Yolanda
The clean-up operation is far from over in the centre of town, let alone in the hard-to-reach rural areas where the storm winds were just as merciless.
Nelly, aged 64, is just one story among thousands. Nelly is a widow, and a grandmother to a 10-year-old boy who lives with her. She explained that her own son is too ill to work in the fields and she wept when telling us her story, because of her worry that her grandson is not getting the nutrition he needs.
Nelly went on to explain how she can barely afford to provide rice and salt for their second and final meal of each and every day, only to then have to boil up the remains to create their breakfast for the next morning.
Nelly wants to be able to earn a few dollars a day to buy vegetables. Not unreasonably, she also wants to flatten the floor of her newly erected house so that sleeping on it each night is slightly less uncomfortable.
Nelly with CARE's shelter manager, Effren, outside her new house
Millions of Filipinos, bringing up their families, are set back again and again by nature, but also by being casualties of these income-related certifications made by global institutions, whose 'middle income' labelling is now seeing swathes of international donors pulling their investments out of so called middle-income geographies.
Across Asia Pacific, we are now witnessing the greatest exodus of international aid through one channel, whilst in through another marches a convoy of multi-national corporations, selling products, procuring goods, and employing large work forces.
Countries in this region are racing towards industrialised states, and are negotiating trade-related deals with some of the world's largest companies, but at the great expense of leaving behind the majority of their populations.
We know that countries such as the Philippines will continue to be afflicted by typhoons and cyclones, by storms and by floods, and so helping encourage resilience programming, and engaging the private sector in development issues, are two things that CARE will continue to pursue in the face of such dynamics.
Whilst income classifications will never give the full picture of the Philippines, and will only serve to hide the realities, we need to do much better at telling the stories of people in places like Tacloban, as each story then flaws the argument for overlaying a classification of any kind.
Let's not get hung up playing off degrees of poverty between nations, guided by GNI statistics. It is simply nonsensical to create a world hierarchy representing "progress" where gross national income trumps all other criteria.

J. Wray and Nephew White Overproof Rum
Silver Rum
Wray and Nephew // Jamaica
J Wray and Nephew is a renowned overproof rum produced in Kingston, Jamaica weighing in at 126 proof. Wray and Nephew, as it's known behind bars, is not only a very popular spirit in its home country, but is also the top-selling high-strength rum in the world. It is produced from a combination of both pot and column distillations of a 30 hour fermentation of sugarcane molasses wash and proprietary house yeast.
Silver RumAKA Blanco, Light, White. Rum that is usually aged (but not always) and carbon-filtered to remove any color. No specific type or size barrel required. No set time required for aging for most countries with a few exceptions.
Cask Type
Tasting Notes
"Wray and Nephew displays rich aromas of overripe bananas, molasses, walnuts, and white cake, with a notable signature funk that rum aficionados refer to as "hogo".Considering that Wray is 126 proof, it is not advisable to drink this straight, though many are not deterred. After adding a dash of water, bold flavors of clove, caramelized bananas, candied walnuts, grilled pineapple, and hogo dominate your palate and transport you to the islands of Jamaica. The finish is warm and lingering with lots of rich overripe fruit, (and perhaps, if you've been, memories of long and wild nights on holiday to the islands)."

EPALE focus: Media literacy
/en/file/media-literacyMedia literacy
Adults learn from all the media that they see, hear and experience. Media has a powerful influence on all of us and can affect different aspects of our lives – from how we vote to who we are and how we think about ourselves and others. That is why it is important for adults to be media literate.
Being media literate means being able to access, analyse, and evaluate information, which we receive through media. Media literacy provides us with skills that allow us to:
- Learn to think critically
- Become smart consumers of products and information
- Recognise point of view
- Create media responsibly
- Identify the role of media in our culture
- Understand the author's goal
We would like to invite you to join EPALE's live discussion on the role of media literacy in adult education. The discussion will be in English and will take place on this page on 27 September 2018. It will be moderated by EPALE Thematic Coordinator Markus Palmén.
We hope to see you there!
Here at EPALE we appreciate the important role of media literacy for adults. Check out the links below for some interesting resources on the topic, uploaded by the community and the EPALE national teams. Visit EPALE regularly in September for new content!

Media does indeed have a great influence on our everyday lives and we have become dependent on all our devices for different aspects of our lives. We are literally bombarded by information, online material and news all the time. The biggest challenge that many of us face is when it comes to identifying what is true and what is fake. And from my teaching experience, I have encountered many learners who are often at a loss when it comes to evaluating information.
I, therefore, thought of sharing with you this great article by https://www.educatorstechnology.com/ which provides tips to spot fake news. These tips will enable us to critically assess the veracity and credibility of online content. My students find the visual very useful especially since it is visually appealing and to the point.

Perth: the place for outdoors-loving, nature-needing beach babes
As I write this, I'm in my hotel room in New York, enjoying the eighth week of an amazing trip of a lifetime in North America. I feel very grateful to have gotten the opportunity to be able to do so much travelling with my hubby while we are both so young. However, being away from home has made me a little homesick as I realise what a truly wonderful place Perth really is.
So, here is a list of

Life is filled with questions. Some of those questions are hard to answer. Some of them are even hard to ask. Sometimes, there are questions that we think we're not allowed to ask in a church. At Grace Family Church, we believe that church should be a safe place to discus any topic, from the bedroom to the bank account, so we're chatting about some of these "touchy" subjects all month long in September. Invite your friends to be part of the dialogue!
During our second week of discussing what is often left un-discussed in the church today, we examine some of the principles that followers of Jesus need to engage with when it comes to interacting with issues surround mental health concerns.

- Click the "Advanced" button.
- Click the "PPP" tab.
- Make sure "Use TCP Header Compression" is checked.

Part II: Connecting to the Internet and disconnecting when you're done
In the upper right corner of the screen, to the left of the clock is a modem menu that looks like a telephone receiver. You can connect and disconnect from there.
Part III: Mail
Check out our Email Support Page.
It is always best to verify any access number is local by dialing 0 for the operator and asking for a rate check.

One week on from our trip back to Royston Vasey, I thought it was time to reflect on the day. I am however battling a raging cold brought on by a Hepatitis A booster I had on Thursday for my upcoming holiday, so bear with me if I'm incoherent. I'm starting to think those anti-vaxxers
Tag: Hadfield
It's funny how things work out when you befriend a group of strangers while visiting the memorial bench of your comedy hero. Those of you who've been reading my blog for a while (if you're out there?) will recall this post back in May, where I reviewed a trip to Hadfield, Derbyshire, after meeting up
There it was again. That familiar feeling. As I put my face on for the day, I felt the wave of nausea which has become so familiar to me over the years. I call it my 'anxiety belly', and as I sat at my dressing table readying myself for the day, it washed over me
I can only apologise for the hideously inconsiderate way in which I've carried on about my business this past fortnight without posting so much as a sausage – or even a witty remark about a sausage. It's been a bit of a funny one in that I was away the weekend before Easter for

Bebe Rexha turned 3o—and she is celebrating with a nude photo and some body positivity
The "Me, Myself & I" singer shared a shot of herself x before a show at Madison Square Garden. In the photo, which has received over 1 million likes on Instagram, Rexha is doing a split and applying lipstick.
"This is what 30 looks like. My #BirthdaySuit Self love. Body positivity. Unapologetically me. Pre-show stretch and lipstick application #Not20Anymore," Rexha wrote in the caption.
say what you want about her, but this is such a positive message that she's putting out for women in general, it's a lot better a message than some of your favs are putting out with their music
— Thomas (@bemyborderline) August 30, 2019
Rexha has used her platform to advocate for body positivity and self-love in the past. In a video that went viral back in January, she spoke out against designers who she claims refused to dress her for the Grammys because she was "too big" at a size 8.
Im sorry, I had to get this off my chest. If you don't like my fashion style or my music that's one thing. But don't say you can't dress someone that isn't a runway size. We are beautiful any size! Small or large! Anddddd My size 8 ass is still going to the Grammys. #LOVEYOURBODY pic.twitter.com/0nqdjXf0Dw
— Bebe Rexha (@BebeRexha) January 21, 2019
"You're saying all the women in the world that are a size eight and up are not beautiful and that they cannot wear your dresses," she said. "So, to all the people who said I'm thick and I can't wear your dress, fuck you. I don't want to wear your fucking dresses."
Rexha got tons of birthday love and support from fans and fellow musicians.
"I think it's safe to say you just broke the internet. I turn 30 in January. Thanks for making 30 look flawless," said one user.
Emphasizing her stance against ageism in the industry, Rexha's new single "Not 20 Anymore" includes lyrics like "Don't try to make me feel insecure/'Cause I'm aging like wine/I get better with time."
It's crazy how Hollywood has made us all believe that 30 is old… 30 is NOT old, 40 is NOT old… look at Madonna, that queen is 60 & LIVING. Look at Cher, look at Paula Abdul, those queens doing it right
— (fan account) (@iskinnylegendz) August 30, 2019
Before her birthday, she shared an image on Instagram and explained she was fed up with double standards.
"I recently had a MALE music executive tell me that I was getting too old and that my brand was 'confusing.' Because…I'm a songwriter and I post sexy pics on my Instagram and that's not what female songwriters are suppose to do, especially for my age. I'm 29," she wrote.

I recently had a MALE music executive tell me that I was getting too old and that my brand was "confusing." Because… I'm a songwriter and I post sexy pics on my Instagram and that's not what female songwriters are suppose to do, especially for my age. I'm 29. I'm fed up with being put in a box. I make my own rules. I'm tired of women getting labeled as "hags" when they get old and guys get labeled as sexy with age. Anyways, I'm turning 30 on August 30 and you know what, I'm not running away from it. I'm not gonna lie about my age or sing songs that I feel will sell better because they sound "younger." I'm gonna celebrate my age because you know what, I'm wiser, I'm stronger and TRUST ME I'm a much better lover than I was 10 years ago.

Most importantly, inflation has risen rapidly in recent months, weighing heavily on real pay growth – though published pay statistics will take some time to fully reflect this. Indeed, our 'Spotlight' article notes that real pay in the public sector has likely now begun a fall that could well last for several years. Conversely, private sector pay growth will continue to outpace the headline average earnings figures. More positively, inequality between low and high earners has notably declined, helping to cushion low earners from price increases. The continued rise in labour market participation in 2016 was also very welcome. However, a range of persistent regional inequalities – including productivity and long-term unemployment – are concerning. In this briefing we use 13 indicators to take a more detailed look at underlying trends and future prospects. You can view the full interactive data here.
