During a catastrophic injury, the first few days are usually filled with fear, anxiety, and stress. Over time, with continuing improvement, these feelings give way to overwhelming concern for what the future holds. Will the injury survivor be able to care for themselves? Will they be able to care for their family? How will they manage in the future? Who will look after the rehabilitative care that will be required in the future? These basic concerns arise with every significant injury.
While these issues will undoubtedly be new to the injury survivor and their family, they are something that our legal team of David Doig and Tyler Jones are used to dealing with. We can help you through these stressful times.
We listen to your concerns and those of your family. We bring order to chaos and calm to fear and anxiety. We have been through all of these emotions and issues many times before with other clients.

(Black Ice)
Filmmaker Johnny Gogan talks to Rose Byrne about his journey into filmmaking since being the founding editor of Film Ireland or Filmbase News as it was known twenty five years ago in 1987.
Johnny has written and directed fifteen films to date including shorts, documentaries and features. He has been involved in a number of projects promoting the film industry over the years. His latest venture with Sleeping Warrior Productions has seen the recent launch of Studio North West T.V, an on line channel. His latest feature Black Ice is due for release in early 2013.
You were the founding editor of Film Ireland or Filmbase News as it was known in 1987. How did that come about?
I returned to Dublin from working as a journalist in South America early in 1987. The three tenets of Filmbase were equipment, training, and information. Filmbase members had agreed they needed a newsletter as a means of addressing the information issue. I always thought there was space for a film magazine in Ireland. Up to that point there hadn't been a consistent magazine.
I was working with Mike Collins on the early issues and ironically the first thing we had to report was the abolition of the Film Board. Some people might have questioned the magazine's timing in the light of that but in a way, we were bearing witness to the biggest event in Irish film and keeping the magazine was an act of faith on the future that many of us could see for filmmaking in the country.
Anyway it became apparent after the first three issues this was more than a newsletter. It was the genesis of a film magazine for film practitioners. We attempted to tread a line between the necessity of people in filmmaking to have information while in time developing a critical angle on the film industry in Ireland. It became a good means of creating awareness of the lack of a film policy in Ireland. There were a lot of good ideas coming out of Filmbase at the time. The magazine was a good way of transmitting these ideas to the wider industry and public.
You were editor for three years. How and when did you get into filmmaking?
I start attending training courses in Filmbase making a transition from journalism. Within a few years I had written some scripts and made my first short Stephen in 1990. It was one of the early Filmbase Shorts. It worked really well for me and did well in the festivals and was widely broadcast. Quite memorably it was released along with Jane Campion's first feature Sweetie which had a cinema release in Ireland. That was a great boost for Stephen and was really my starting point.
You set up Bandit Films in 1989 to make your first short Stephen. Did you find it necessary to set up a company or was it something you wanted to do anyway?
I was creating an umbrella with Paul Donovan. We started to produce Stephen but Paul had to go to Australia so it didn't work out at that time. However I liked the idea of an entity and not just me as a sole operator. When Paul returned we moved on and worked on The Last Bus Home. Meanwhile I had done a film called The Bargain Shop for ZDF/ARTE and RTÉ. To do that production I did need a functioning limited company and I've managed to keep one operating since then.
So did having your own company give you more control?
Well it did but it shouldn't have to be the way. It's quite tiresome maintaining a company. There are a lot of administrative aspects to it. Though it has made increasing sense and it was a good exercise. I and Paul then formed Bandit Films Ltd.
What was your short film Stephen about?
It was about a young unemployed Dubliner who was very taken with the victory of Stephen Roche in the Tour de France. So much so, that he takes his eye off the road while on his bike and crashes. While unconscious he dreams he is a great national hero. Really the film was a play on Dublin being a depressed place at that time. The victory of Stephen Roche was a national event and it captured people's imagination similar to the national football team in the Euros in 1988.
Sport helped us transcend the reality we were stuck in at that time. The film was an ironic take on that. The narrative was non-linear and the character never speaks. People who saw it a few times said they got more from it each time. It was unconventional and low budget. It was broadcast around four times on RTÉ. It won Best Film award at the Galway Film Fleadh in 1990.
(The Bargain Shop)
You already mentioned The Bargain Shop a film you wrote and directed in 1993. Your company was the first in Ireland to produce a commissioned drama for German T.V with The Bargain Shop. How did that come about?
Well there's some interesting strands in my family background. My father worked in Germany in the late 1970s and my grandfather had a strong connection with pre-war Germany in the thirties which I subsequently made a documentary about.
My sister Jane Gogan had done the EAVE producers training programme and was working with me as executive producer on The Bargain Shop. She suggested to me to try ZDF/ARTE in Mainz. I was at a film festival in Hamburg with my short Stephen and on the back of that went to Mainz to meet someone about The Bargain Shop. I had phoned ahead but when I got there she said she couldn't see me. I explained I had travelled all this way and was there anyone else I could talk to. She went off to get someone while I anxiously paced the corridors. Eventually I met Claudia Tronnier who later became commissioning editor for the film. Later my first feature The Last Bus Home was commissioned by public television W.D.R and my film Mapmaker by Z.D.F/ARTE.
You wrote The Bargain Shop before Stephen. What was it about?
I suppose it was a film with a lot to say for itself. It had a more conventional narrative than Stephen. If you think of where we are now in terms of the economy it was a kind of allegory for the busted economy and the corrupt Ireland I saw in the late Eighties and early Nineties. What it had to say for itself was very enduring. In many ways, aesthetically it was a backwards step but in terms of taking on the bigger story form it was a forward step. It lacked some of the lightness of touch that Stephen had, perhaps because the script was an earlier work. Corruption was very difficult to talk about in Ireland at that time. Certainly in a journalistic sense criticism was heavily put down. The film was a way of talking about corruption, saying in fiction what a lot of people saw to be true. It was also a chance to work with a feature-like plot and narrative albeit in a one hour format. It meant I wasn't going straight from short film to feature length. The Bargain Shop and Stephen were complementary works and led to my first feature The Last Bus Home.
So Stephen was a good calling card for you?
Yeah. A lot of people were fond of that film. It was ambitious at the time. Filmmaking was at its infancy and a lot of films weren't being made. I had a lot of very good encouragement, Tiernan McBride andPat Murphy who were active in Filmbase. It was part of the spirit of Filmbase. They had a good connection with the next generation of filmmakers. It's so important to have a sense of mentorship.
Where did you get the idea for your first feature The Last Bus Home which you wrote and directed in 1997?
For myself and producer Paul Donovan It was very much our era in music. We both could identify with punk music. The Punk (and subsequent New Wave) era was seminal even though it ended with the collapse of the Irish economy in early 1980s. It was like a small revolution that failed.
I wanted to tell that story as by the mid-nineties we were coming out of that period of stagnation. In the early nineties there were two kinds of revisionism, the national question and we were a deeply conservative country that was becoming liberal. This was being achieved by the liberal agenda that Mary Robinson's election represented. That was partly true, but I felt it was a struggle that was going on before that. There were various highs and troughs in that battle and one of the critical eras were the late seventies. It was happening in subcultures, but subcultures are very important for the revitalisation of a society.
The film was about a microcosm of that subculture and how these kinds of moments of extreme intense experience even though they fail, have reverberations through a society and have future meaning. The coda of the film takes place ten years later in the early nineties with the decriminalisation of homosexuality. I was trying to connect what happened in the nineties with what happened in the late seventies.
Most filmmakers in Ireland would see Dublin or the larger cities like Cork or Galway as the best locations to further their career. Yet you moved to Leitrim in a gamble that seems to have paid off. Were you worried about your career when you moved?
I never really thought of myself as having a career. I know some people looked at me and said, "Uh, he's on a career path" (laughs) I had made three urban films and I needed to revise what I had to say. I had lived in Dublin fifteen years and things were changing. By the late nineties the arts was becoming more corporate and the city was losing some of the village atmosphere I had enjoyed. So I decided to up sticks and move. I had this project Mapmaker and felt if I moved to a rural area essentially where the film was being made it would improve. It was either move abroad or further into Ireland away from boom time values that were becoming prevalent then. It was just time for me to move on. I haven't looked back and it's been a really good period.
It was in the light of that move that I surrendered my role in Bandit Films Ltd which paved the way for Michael Garland to join the company and for the renaming of the company I had set up with Paul Donovan to Grand Pictures.
What was the first screenplay you ever read?
It was by American filmmaker John Sayles. The screenplay was called Matewan.
What filmmakers do you admire?
I'm really taken with Sayles work and am very influenced by his work. I'm a big fan of Pedro Armodovar. Also Ken Loach and Irish filmmaker Joe Comerford.
What's your favourite role, writer or director?
I would say director. I have benefited greatly from co-writing collaborations. I've worked with Joe O Byrne a lot. If I had been more career-minded I would have done more directing. Having taken this path of writer/director though it's meant I got to do the films I wanted to make.
(Black Ice)
So is it fair to say when you started out you weren't thinking of becoming a filmmaker for the rest of your life?
That's true, I've always seen it as part of a mix of things, I've been involved with journalism, politics, even stood for election a few times with no success. At the moment I'm involved with the fracking issue in the North West. My involvement in the fracking issue arose out of my interest in film. A film called Gaslands had been made in the States. I took it on the road with the mobile cinema I've been involved with. It was a good way of raising the debate.
You're very active in the film community. You created the Adaptation Film Festival in Dromahair, Co. Leitrim in 2005. Where did you get this idea from and what did you hope to achieve?
I was involved in the hand over of the mobile cinema from Leitrim County Council to independent stewardship and was looking for new ways to use the cinema. I had attended workshops with screenwriter and educator Stephen Cleary. I learned on that course that fifty to seventy percent of screenworks were adaptations. I thought about the strong literary tradition in Ireland. We looked at writers whose work had been adapted already in Ireland. We decided on John McGahern as our first subject.
Working with the Irish Film Archive we found eight films, two of which had not been seen since first broadcast in the early eighties. We were acknowledging the contributions these writers had made to television drama and cinema.
Significantly John Mc Gahern died the year after, so it was good to have done his work. We also archived all the films. I'm no longer involved and the festival has branched out into international writers which is exciting, so I think it is a festival that has legs.
It must have been beneficial to the wider community. Has it grown in success?
Yeah, Cinema North West has grown into an organisation that is an exhibiter of good quality films and they provide training, including in screenwriting for the north west and the wider community nationally. It provides a strong focus for the film community. We're geographically dispersed so it's great to have ways of crossing paths and the mobile cinema provides that.
You recently stepped down as chair of Cinema North West, how and when was this project started?
It started as Leitrim Mobile Cinema in 2001. I joined the board in 2004. We rebranded it as CinemaNorth West in 2007. I had left the board but when the financial crisis hit Leitrim and Sligo County Council wanted to pull out. I came back in to work with the Board again to establish an independent company. It worked out, we traded out of the red for a while then the International Funds for Ireland came in which allowed us to hire a full time director Colin McKeown. We're on a pretty sound footing now, so it was a good time to leave. I have a three year rule with organisations that I tend to stick to. Things should be moving after three years. For the organisation you don't want the it becoming too associated with one individual. It frees you up to go on and do other things and it's healthy for the organisation too. That's the position I am taking with my current role on the Film Board too.
You were appointed in 2009 by Minister for Arts to the board of the Irish Film Board. As the only member outside Dublin, does living and working in a rural setting have any advantages such as highlighting the needs of the film community in the North West?
The board already has a regional dimension to it with an office in Galway. I suppose people's understanding of regional policy is largely about companies coming in from Dublin and shooting films in rural areas. I would make the analogy with regional theatre: in the early eighties we understood regional theatre to be companies such as the Gate and the Abbey touring Ireland with their shows.
In the mid to late eighties a whole range of regional theatre companies started up all over Ireland, Red Kettle, Blue Raincoat, Field Day, Druid etc. These are strong examples now of regional theatre companies who have had a big impact not just nationally but internationally. My argument is we can develop film and digital media in the regions in the same way given the technological changes taking place. The prevailing model for film we're working off is still the 20th century model. We still have to find a model for the 21st century. Regional development is a key part in developing film and digital media in the next ten years. Regional Policy is part of what I do on the Film Board but there's more to it than that. Apart from my involvement in the Irish Film Board, I have tried to be active in the region and develop the sector.
You are a member of Studio North West, a forum for filmmakers and practitioners based in the North West. You have recently launched Studio North West T.V channel. What's your involvement in this?
Early in 2011 I commissioned a feasibility study into the film sector in the North West. I also looked at how we might benefit from incoming productions. When the study was completed by Oonagh Monahan I circulated it to as many people as I could who I knew were active in the region. Cinema North West called a meeting in February 2011 and the Forum has been meeting regularly since then. There was debate about how to proceed; some people felt it was too soon to cluster. I accepted that but had to follow my own instincts.
I pushed along with the idea of clustering and along with Patrick O'Rourke of Sleeping Warrior Productions set up Studio North West T.V. which is an online channel. It's an outlet for the work already produced here most of which has not been previously broadcast. It's also a way of generating new work. My hope is Studio North West T.V can assist in increasing the output of the sector in the region. It's also about building people's confidence.
It's a great incentive for filmmakers and writers in the area. They'll now have an outlet for their work.
Exactly it's a way for them to say "O.k. we can develop a short drama or a short documentary series for the web". I think it's a great opportunity and though developed through my own company it's not about having control. I hope people can see they have their independence while getting their work out there.
Can you tell us a bit about your documentary "Homeland" shown on T.G.4?
The film is about emigrants and immigrants in Leitrim. It's a small place and the people have an amazing openness about them. I believe it's because they feel the benefits of people moving in boosting the population. Also, a lot of Leitrim people lived abroad from necessity and experienced a wider world. It's an openness you don't find in the richer counties and its one of the reasons I like living here. Homeland is about a mixture of people who lived abroad and how that experience formed their lives when they returned; it is also about people who weren't born here like myself but decided to make it their home.
Your latest film Black Ice is due for release in early 2013 and was filmed in Leitrim and Sligo and co-written with Brian Leyden. What inspired you to make this film?
I'm fascinated with cars and the way people can get into a car and cut themselves off from the rest of the world. There's a phenomenon in rural areas of young men in particular jumping into cars and losing the plot. This is really strong in border counties because the border roads are like No Man's Land in terms of the law. It makes them a choice location for this wild driving.
I approached Brian Leyden with an outline for the story. He was writing a book about suicidal behaviour in young men. He had a good insight into what's going on behind boy racing. We worked really well together. I've been lucky in collaboration. It's a very layered story with layered meanings.
So with Black Ice you proved your point, you can make films in the North West?
Yeah, I think so, though it was challenging but we hope to do it again. I can say to myself now I'm not waiting another ten years to make a feature. We've found a model that works and I hope to do another one that way in the next two to three years. We had a great cast and the film has a youthful energy about it. Killian Scott from Love/Hate, new comers Jane McGrath and Dermot Murphy. We also had a fine cast of the older generation if you like, such as Donal Kelly, writer Michael Harding, Deirdre O'Meara, Marian Quinn and Conor McDermottroe.
It was great to work with Peter Martin the young camera man who shot my short film Astray and who, among others of the crew, I met through the Studio North West Forum. I really wanted to work with that crew again. Nicky Gogan and Trevor Curran from Still Films in Dublin came in to provide logistical support to the production. Nicky was also very engaged with the development of the script.
What's your next project?
Getting Studio North West tv on a sounder footing. I'm also looking at the short film Astray and thinking of adapting it into a longer work. Based on a Seamus Heaney text, it's a story definitely worthy of a longer film.
Well Johnny you certainly packed a lot into the last twenty five years. What advice have you got for filmmakers and writers trying to break into the business?
I think collaboration is very important, as it's a collaborative medium. It's great to get good mentorship as well. I know I benefited from more experienced people who were generous enough to share their experience. Filmbase provided that kind of nurturing environment. I'm hopeful Studio North West can do the same. You need to be open, prepared to have a go, follow your instincts and don't be too defensive when your ideas are challenged. Because I hadn't gone to film college I was very aware of people around me who had gone and what they might think of me and what I was doing, but you know it's not like that. So as I said be open and give it a go.

Stop Having A Hard Time Selling Real Estate
Selling any property, whether it be your home or otherwise, is hugely stressful. Not having a good grasp of the process will only add to your difficulties. it's of the utmost importance that you learn as much as possible about the nature of selling real estate. This article contains some of the information and advice that you'll need to make selling real estate easier.
when putting your home on the market, upgrade to some new, energy-efficient appliances to help attract buyers. Installing LED lights, outdoor solar lights, an energy monitor and energy star appliances can get more people interested in your home because of all the savings in monthly energy costs.
Many homeowners find themselves becoming overwhelmed by the simple aspects of upkeep, such as yard work, plumbing repairs. Painting, among others. However, if this upkeep isn't maintained, the home will require a great deal of work and expense before it's ready to sell.
When your house is up for sale, make sure you've easy access to all information a buyer might require. Include a log of all home repairs you've had done. The log should list each contractor's name and phone number as well as the job you hired him to do. The potential buyer will get a better idea of what was done to the house, as well as the quality of work.
Be realistic about the value you put on your property. Find out what comparable homes have sold for in the area and price your home at the median price. you'll have to change the amount you're asking if you set a price that's too high.
Clean both sides of your windows as you prepare the house for sale. The natural sunlight really opens up dark spaces. Clean windows can hide the fact that the actual hardware may be a little outdated. Visitors mightn't ever know how many hours you spent scrubbing. They surely know the difference it made.
Spotless windows will give your house an all around clean and fresh feeling. Crystal clear windows allow more sunlight to penetrate the house. Give the house a fresh touch. Potential buyers will certainly perceive the change although they won't realise that it was accomplished by two or three hours of window washing.
When painting the interior of the home before selling it, don't pick colours just because you like them. A traditional colour such as taupe, eggshell or off-white is most suitable. A freshly painted room will make your home loom more appealing to buyers. Only if the colour of the room doesn't scare them off.
Try to close the sale of your old house before you move into a new one. Attempting to balance two house payments when waiting to sell the old home can cause you to go bankrupt. Block out a lot of time for your house to be on the market so that you can attract a good buyer.
Make your house more appealing to buyers by cleaning out your clutter. Don't place too many items in your closets and dust them thoroughly. After you empty your kitchen cabinets, consider putting in a few unopened, fancy packages. This helps add appeal to your home because buyers will feel that the atmosphere is more luxurious or sophisticated.
When you're either buying or selling a house, it's advisable you carefully select a real estate agent who'll represent you. Selling and buying property is one of the most important investments you make. You need to make sure that you've an agent that's in it for you. The right agent can be the difference between a smooth transaction and one that's filled with problems and stress. They can also help make things clearer along the way.
You should be certain that your roof is in the best condition possible before attempting to sell your property. Most potential buyers will be turned off completely if the home's roof is in poor condition. If you're not fixing your roof, then you need to offer the buyer money set aside. That they can fix the roof after purchase of the home.
Make sure all counters and appliances have clean surfaces. Also, keep floors swept. Bathrooms cleaned and mopped. Have your children put their toys away. Don't leave clothing or dirty laundry any place where it can be seen. When your home is clean, it'll accentuate the positive aspects of your home to potential buyers.
You shouldn't spray air fresheners or scented candles before prospective buyers come to see your home. Some may be overwhelmed or even allergic to some fragrances. You could even lose potential buyers because of this. Put potpourri inside of a bowl if you want a nice-smelling home.
Potential Buyers
Consider the price you need to get and the terms you wish to include before you sit down with a real estate agent and sign a contract. You need to determine what fixed appliances, fixtures, landscaping items and decorations will stay with the home. On the other hand, you might want to specify what real property will be excluded because you want to take it with you. These terms must be written out in a contract.
When a buyer comes to look at your home, be sure to have all the curtains open. Potential buyers love to see how bright a home can be from just sunlight. Pull back all curtains, drapes. Lift your blinds. Weather permitting, let some fresh air into your home by opening the windows, which will be attractive to potential buyers.
The only time you should do a total property remodel is when you just can't use the existing structure. Many times, investors spend more money than they should remodelling homes. You can maximise your profit by utilising your existing interior as much as you possibly can.
A little knowledge will go a long way, no matter what type of property you're attempting to sell. Good advice and information will empower you through the selling process. By following the tips in this article, you'll be able to sell real estate successfully.
Though it may be tempting to stick around and talk to potential buyers of your home, it's usually not a good idea. A buyer won't feel as comfortable if you're there. Sticking around interferes with the potential buyer's ability to imagine himself living in the home with his family. This could make you lose a potential sale.

Photographer's Note
On the slopes of Mt. Carmel are many of the holy sites of the Baha'i' faith as well as most of its administrative institutions. The archives building was the first one built there in the 1950's by the guardian of the faith at the time Shoghi Effendi. It holds among other things, the only known photos or likenesses of the twin founders of the faith, the Ba'b and Baha'u'llah.

This will be Impact Nations' first Journey to this exciting South American country. During two scouting trips, Steve and Christina encountered people everywhere who are open and hungry for the Beautiful Gospel––whether in churches, on the streets, in the city jail, or among recovering addicts. They knew that this is the right time for Impact Nations to come to Bogota.
Join us as we preach Christ and heal the sick, both in outdoor gatherings, door-to-door and on the streets. We will conduct mobile clinics, get water filters to families, minister to prisoners, and bring hope to needy communities. Come prepared to sing, play and dance with the children. Together, we will demonstrate the goodness of Jesus through practical expressions of His kindness to the poor and the invisible.
There is already a great expectation among many believers in Bogota; they are truly excited about what the Lord will do during this Journey. The response from the Colombians has already been amazing; we believe that Jesus is opening a door that will ultimately lead to the entire nation. Come join us for this historic Journey.

1. How does the CMWeb technology differ from SMIL?
SMIL is for authoring interactive multimedia presentations while Annodex is for providing Web searching and Web hyperlinking capabilities for clips of video or audio. SMIL does not integrate the media data for its presentation in one streamable file, but just references them from within the XML file. This also means that SMIL presentations cannot be cached by a Web proxy, while Annodex streams can. A recorded SMIL interaction can however be annodexed and made available for searching and surfing.

In the midst of all these political developments, all developmental agendas and policies of government loses its sight to make headlines in the Mainstream, as nowadays we find there is a race for proving majority through constitutional means. So utilising this opportunity I thought of penning down my thoughts towards Developmental Policies undertaken by the Government.
RailTelcorporation was entrusted to roll out Wi-Fi across Indian railway stations. It's amazing to read such facility has been provided to 50 lakhs passengers at 115 stations across the country and the railways propose to provide such facility in running trains too later was informed in Rajya Sabha.
Mr. Suresh Prabhu, Railway Minister said the execution of Wi-Fi facility at 400 railway stations has been entrusted to RailTel corporation, a subsidiary of the Railways, without any fund allocation by the Government. "The number of Passengers using the Wi-Fi services at all stations was approximately 50 Lakh in the month of February at 115 stations so far provided with Wi-Fi service", he said. A total of 400 Railway stations will be covered in the first batch and the criterion adopted to install the service depended upon the volume at stations. Mr. Prabhu also reiterated that Wi-Fi facility, being a public service, was not just provided to railway passengers but also to all visiting the stations, including a large number of students.
"Of course, there is also a proposal to provide it in running trains",he said responding to a query from a member, adding that the facility is available in some train already. "We will try to give it in most trains", he said.
Mr. Prabhu also claimed that the use of Wi-Fi at Stations was being regulated by guidelines issued by Department of Telecommunication and no case of violation of these guidelines has been reported. "All DoT guidelines are followed so that no website banned by DoT can be opened," he said. The Railway Minister also went up to an extent of claiming that the facility as provided by Google was according to them "the biggest and fastest public Wi-Fi in the world". There was another question posed to him, whether the stations in the east would also cover in this project, to which he replied "Because the Sun rises in the East".
During the question hour, he was replying on provision of solar powered panels on rooftops of trains, he said the railways have provided solar panels on rooftops of 19 narrow gauge in northern railway and 4 broad gaugenon- air conditioned coaches in service for use of electrical 4 broad gauge non-air conditioned coaches in service for use of electrical energy generated in train lighting system on a trial basis, which would save a total of Rs. 41,000 crore over a period of 10 years.
"Indian railways have embarked upon a mission to save Rs. 41,000 crore over a period of 10 years through efficient energy management and power procurement", he said.
In the month of December2016, Google RailTel Wi-Fi rolled out at Udhagamandalam, its 100thrailway station in India. This was a land mark achievement in Indian railways. Google had successfully launched high-speed internet to 100 of the busiest railway stations across India. According to Google, after the roll out at the 100th railway station in India, over 10 Million Indians have an access to fast internet. Google also added over 5 million monthlyusers, the Google RailTel Wi-Fi has over 15,000 first time users connecting to the network every day. This milestone brought Google closer to its aim of launching high speed Wi-Fi across 400 stations in India.Google is in partnership with RailTel since January 2016.
I am highlighting all these achievements of Ministry of Railways collaborating with Google way back in 2016 so that we can all gauge ourselves what amount of work has been carried out, but the Mainstream Media instead of highlighting the developmental policies initiated by the government towards its citizens rather highlighted on Rohith Vemula's suicide, Questioned on Surgical Strikes, whether it was the original surgical strike or dramatized one. First, of all I fail to understand how people can stoop down to this low for compromising on such sensitive issues questioning the government's intent, just because it's executive head is PM Modi. After this, demonetization was blown out of proportion which was a move to nail the corrupt and dishonest in the system.
I was not aware of this until recently I came across that Patna Railway station tops the Wi-Fi chart in terms of internet search using the free Wi-Fi service, through the maximum searches were for Porn sites a railway official said. "More than any other railway station in the country, where free Wi-Fi servicewas launched, the Patna railway station is on the top in the country for using internet search. After Patna, Jaipur Railway station is second to use the internet search, followed by Bengaluru and New Delhi. By the end of 2016, free Wi-Fi facility was launched at 100 major railway stations. In the next three years, there will be around 400 stations to be covered for Wi-Fi. Once in place, it will be the largest public Wi-Fi system in the world", Mr.Suresh Prabhu said this service was commissioned by RailTel, in association with Google, for providing high-speed internet to rail commuters at these places. Maharashtra to invest over Rs.5,000 crore for internet connectivity in 29,000 villages by 2018.
As I conclude my thoughts, I feel that during election campaign of all five states, especially the largest state of UP, where BJP won with historical mandate of 325 seats/403 seats a magical and a miraculous figure post independent era, only illustrates most important fact that Government is Pro-Developmental agendas and Pro-Poor, good governance especially team India which is very efficient. It also works tirelessly along with our PM Modi to fulfil the set targets only for welfare of the nation. What I would like to pledge with team India is my "Positivity Pledge", for all their Pro-Developmental Policies.
I would like to quote one of the sutras from Chanakya's Nitisaastra—
Sakshmaat Sarveshaam Karyasidhirbhavthi
{With these Measures} One achieves success in whatever he does. [The one who is forgiving by nature, firm in his faith and committed to his penance eventually gets success in his every endeavour].

Halki Diabetes Remedy
Fungal infections of wounds are unusual in economically developed countries, except that the yeast Candida albicans can be troublesome in severe burns and in those with wounds and underlying diseases such as diabetes and cancer. This yeast, commonly present among the normal flora and kept in check by it, becomes pathogenic when the competing microorganisms are eliminated, as in individuals receiving antibacterial therapy. Other fungal wound infections are much more common in impoverished people around the world. For example, Madura foot, a condition caused by various species of fungi, occurs in areas of the world where foot injuries are common, resulting from lack of shoes. Named after the city in India where it was first described, Madura foot is characterized by swellings and draining passageways that spit out yellow or black granules of fungal material. Only a minority of those with foot injuries contract the disease despite exposure to the same fungi, suggesting that other factors such as malnutrition may play a role. Sporotrichosis, another kind of fungal wound infection, occurs worldwide and is not poverty-related.
"Rose Gardener's Disease" (Sporotrichosis)
Sporotrichosis, also known as "rose gardener's disease," is widely distributed around the world, associated with activities that lead to puncture wounds from vegetation. Although many cases are sporadic, the disease can occur in groups of people engaged in the same occupation. Thousands of workers in the warm humid mines of South Africa have contracted the disease from splinters on mine timbers. Epidemics have occurred in the United States among handlers of sphagnum moss from Wisconsin.
In most cases, a hand or arm is involved, but the trunk, legs, and face can also be sites of infection. Typically, a chronic ulcer
Table 27.10 Human Bite Wound Infections
Rapid onset, pain, massive swelling, drainage of foul-smelling pus
Incubation period
Usually 6 to 24 hours
Mixed mouth flora: anaerobic streptococci, fusiforms, spirochetes, anaerobic Gram-negative rods; sometimes Staphylococcus aureus
Various mouth bacteria act synergistically to destroy tissue
Alcohol-related violence; forcible restraint; poor mouth care and extensive dental disease
Prevention and treatment
No proven preventive measures except to avoid altercations. Prompt cleansing of wound and application of antiseptic is advised.Treatment is usually surgical

forms at the wound site, followed by a slowly progressing series of ulcerating nodules that develop sequentially toward the center of the body (figure 27.16). Lymph nodes in the region of the wound enlarge, but patients generally do not become ill. If they have AIDS or other immunodeficiency, however, the disease can spread throughout the body, threatening life.
Sporotrichosis is caused by the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii (figure 27.17), which lives in soil and on vegetation. ■ dimorphic fungus, p. 310
Sporothrix schenckii spores are usually introduced with an injury caused by plant material. After an incubation period that usually ranges from 1 to 3 weeks but can be much longer, the multiplying fungi cause formation of a small nodule or pimple at the site of the injury. This lesion slowly enlarges and ulcerates, producing a red, easily bleeding skin defect. Unless the ulcer becomes secondarily infected with bacteria, there is little or no pus, and the lesion is pain-free. After a week or longer, the process repeats itself, progression of the disease usually following the flow of a lymphatic vessel. In healthy individuals, the process does not proceed beyond the lymph node. Sometimes, however, satellite lesions appear irrespective of the lymphatic vessels. Without treatment, the disease can go on for years. ■ lymphatic vessel, p. 396
Sporotrichosis is distributed worldwide, mostly in the warmer regions but extending into temperate climates. In the United States, most cases occur in the Mississippi and Missouri river valleys. It is an occupational disease of farmers, carpenters, gardeners, greenhouse workers, and others who deal with plant materials. Sporotrichosis is not a reportable disease, and its incidence is unknown. Risk factors for the disease besides occupation include diabetes, immunosuppression, and alcoholism. Children can contract the disease from playing in baled hay. Individuals with chronic lung disease can contract S. schenckii lung infections from inhaling dust from hay or cattle feed. Deaths from sporotrichosis are rare.
Protective gloves and a long-sleeved shirt can help prevent sporotrichosis, especially when handling evergreen seedlings and sphagnum moss. This chronic disease is often misdiagnosed, leading to delayed and inappropriate treatment. Surprisingly,

Summary 711
Table 27.11
"Rose Gardener's Disease" Sporotrichosis
Painless, ulcerating nodules appearing in sequence in a linear pattern
Incubation period
Usually 1 to 3 weeks
Causative agent
Sporothrix schenckii, a dimorphic fungus
Spores multiply at site of introduction by thorn, splinter, or other plant material, causing a small nodule that ulcerates. Spores carried by lymph flow repeat the process along the course of the lymphatic vessel. May spread beneath the skin irrespective of lymphatic vessels
Distributed worldwide in tropical and temperate climates. Occupations requiring contact with sharp plant materials at particular risk
Prevention and treatment
Protective gloves and clothing. Most cases effectively treated with potassium iodide. Generalized infections require amphotericin B or itraconazole
unlike other infections, sporotrichosis can usually be cured by oral treatment with the simple chemical compound potassium iodide (KI). KI is not active against S. schenckii in vitro, but somehow enhances the body's ability to reject the fungus. Itraconazole or the antibiotic amphotericin B is used in rare cases when the disease spreads throughout the body.
Table 27.11 presents some of the main features of sporotrichosis.

Diabetes is a disease that affects the way your body uses food. Normally, your body converts sugars, starches and other foods into a form of sugar called glucose. Your body uses glucose for fuel. The cells receive the glucose through the bloodstream. They then use insulin a hormone made by the pancreas to absorb the glucose, convert it into energy, and either use it or store it for later use.

When a material is exposed to a magnetic field it can respond in various ways.
We distinguish between:
In colloquial language when we say a material is magnetic we usually mean it exhibits ferromagnetic (or sometimes ferrimagnetic) behaviour. The forces that occur in diamagnetic and paramagnetic behaviour are much weaker, and materials exhibiting such behaviour do not spontaneously produce their own magnetic field. They can more or less be considered to be non-magnetic. Diamagnetic materials have the tendency to repel lines of flux from their core, while ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic and paramagnetic materials more or less concentrate them.
Practical example of diamagnetism: water is weakly diamagnetic, about forty times less than for example diamagnetic pyrolytic carbon, but this is enough for light objects containing a large amount of water to float if it they are in a strong magnetic field.
This frog was floating for example, using a 16 tesla electromagnet at the High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands.

Antioxidant is a term you've probably seen written on wine bottles or other products, garishly emphasized with large font, informing you that because it's an antioxidant, it's healthy.
However… What is an antioxidant? Better yet, what's an oxidant?
Antioxidants have always been one of those things that people know is generally a good thing, but they don't know what they actually are. It's the same magic as what the mechanic does to your car – you know he fixes it, so why bother finding out for yourself?
Well, antioxidants are incredibly important for the human body and not making enough of them means you're going to have a really, really bad time.
Besides the conventional sources, it turns out that the lesser known component of Cannabis Sativa, CBD, is a surprisingly excellent antioxidant with few side effects.
Firstly however, what exactly is oxidation, and why is it such a bad thing?
What is Oxidation?
Oxidation is better known in the scientific community as redox, which is short for reduction-oxidation reaction. This describes the chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed.
That sounds extremely confusing, doesn't it? Well, oxidation itself is actually visible almost everywhere. The simple act of metal rust on iron is the most well known, whereas combustion (such as lighting a fire) is a very fast oxidation reaction.
In scientific terms, oxidation is the process of electron transfer from one atom to another. The simple reason we call it oxidation is because the scientist who coined the term, Antoine Lavoisier, noted the frequency with which oxygen was responsible for the process, for example in igniting fires.
This simple process results in a variety of different forms of atrophy, such as with iron falling apart due to rust thanks to oxidation. In that example, oxygen interacts with iron to steal some of its electrons, forming iron oxide, which can more easily break off from the whole iron object.
This process also occurs within the human body and is an ever present concern, as well as why you often see certain products labeled as "antioxidant".
So, what effect does oxidation have on our bodies?
How Does Oxidation Work in the Body?
Oxidation within the human body follows the same principles as in nature – atoms stealing electron from other atoms.
This is generally referred to as oxidative stress, which is a process that occurs at the cellular level. What happens is that, whenever energy is created within a cell, waste known as free radicals are also created. These free radicals are molecules which have a sad, lonely electron. This electron, like all others of its kind, likes to be paired with other electrons, so will actively try and find an electron to steal.
This can cause a sudden, overwhelming torrent of electron thieving within the body, as these free radicals steal an electron from a neighboring cell, which causes that cell to steal an electron from another cell, and so on.
The body's natural defense against this are known as antioxidants. These stop free radicals from doing cellular damage – most notably to our DNA – by giving them their desired electron. This stops those free radicals from leeching an electron off of a neighboring cell, possibly damaging the most important cell of them all, DNA.
If your body doesn't have enough antioxidants, you can suffer common forms of damage resulting from free radicals, including Parkinson's disease, heart attacks, or even Alzheimer's disease.
Many common foods and substances we ingest are often described as being an antioxidant, which essentially just means that they help encourage the production of antioxidants within the body.
One of the most little-known antioxidants available, however, is CBD.
CBD is a Natural Antioxidant
That's right, it turns out that CBD, THC's healthier, entirely non-psychoactive* cousin within Cannabis Sativa, is an incredibly effective antioxidant.
While not entirely known by the public, the US government has been aware of CBD's antioxidant properties since 2001, as revealed by a patent issued to the US Health and Human Services* which states that "cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties […] in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, HIV, and dementia". These conditions are all caused in part due to free radicals and the breaking apart of your body's cellular system.
However, how does CBD work in helping prevent free radicals?
CBD's Antioxidant Effect Explained
CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system in the human body. This system is responsible for a whole litany of different health systems within the body, but can be most significantly attributed to the control of cellular regrowth and neurocellular health.
CBD helps the body by interacting with the CB1 and CB2 receptors, which then encourage the body to heal itself through its regular processes. With regard to antioxidant effects, the CB2 receptor is responsible for healthy regulation of neurological cells – the cells that make up the neurons in your brain.
Oxidation is a serious risk, but most significantly so within the brain, as when you begin to lose electrons from neuron cells, various conditions can develop, most significantly Parkinson's disease. Through the triggering of the CB2 receptor, the body is encouraged to protect neurological cells. This was primarily discovered in 1998 by Hampson et al. in a study* published in the National Academy of Sciences, which found that CBD worked especially well at fighting against neurotoxicity. They combated neuropathic decay, as well as general cellular degradation through oxidation, through their natural antioxidant properties.
This study has helped cement CBD as a valid option for helping to prevent a myriad of diseases caused by rapid oxidation of cells.
An additional study*, conducted by Garcia-Arencibia et al. for the International Brain Research Organization, supports CBD as an antioxidant.
By giving various mice abrasions along their nigrostriatal neurons, the researchers were able to evaluate different substances and their effect on the cellular regrowth.
They found that AM404, a chemical compound often frequently found as a metabolite of paracetamol, worked especially well in combating the lesions and their cellular decay. AM404 is a significant antioxidant and is created through the triggering of the CB2 receptor. Through the application of AM404, the mice were able to actually heal their wounds and combat the damage caused to their neurological cells.
This study further shows that CBD acts as a powerful antioxidant, able to not only stop various conditions and diseases related to rapid oxidation from occurring, but is also able to work towards reversing the progression of those diseases with correct application.
One interesting consideration when thinking about antioxidants is that it appears that whole plant sources are superior to extracts.
In one study* conducted by Lobo et al. for the Journal of Pharmacognosy Review, researchers discovered that synthetic antioxidants, as well as more specific extracts of plants like with CBD from Cannabis Sativa, are in fact less potent than whole plant sources.
This means that, while best CBD oils will certainly provide antioxidant effects, the most efficient way to get the antioxidant effect from your CBD is to imbibe the whole plant. It appears that, where antioxidants are concerned, just the active ingredient isn't enough.
So, if you're going to be using CBD to help encourage antioxidant effects in your body, consider actually taking the whole plant, rather than just the extract oil.
Final Thoughts on CBD as an Antioxidant
Antioxidants have been demonstrated to be incredibly important in maintaining your body's health. By ensuring that free radicals don't roam wherever they like, stealing electrons and destabilizing your cells and DNA, antioxidants act to ensure your body works in perfect harmony.
As you age however, antibody production deteriorates and it can sometimes become harder to maintain correct levels of those necessary antioxidants.
Through a myriad of studies, CBD has been demonstrated to be surprisingly excellent source of antioxidants. Through medical application of CBD, patients with diseases or disorders caused by too much oxidation can possibly be treated, whereas others can use CBD to help prevent those same diseases from coming up in the first place.
There are a lot of ways to encourage antioxidants in your body, but CBD appears to be a remarkably efficient method with the ability to help a lot of people.
Just bear in mind that getting CBD from a whole plant source, rather than from an oil extract, is the most efficient way to get that wonderful antioxidant effect. The exact reasons for this aren't exactly clear, but you can still get some antioxidants from just the oil.
Whatever method you choose, using CBD as an antioxidant seems to help encourage proper health and forestall a variety of diseases.

2017-18 Sertoma Community Grant Recipient
January 25, 2019
Anchor Center for Blind and Deaf Children – Hearing, Seeing and Believing.
Our senses give us the power to connect and experience the world in different ways. The same concept applies to technology. Thanks to your generous donations, deaf-blind children are now able to receive the special gift of communicating with their peers, learning in the classroom and experiencing sound in a brand new way.
The Delta Gamma Anchor Center for Blind Children in Denver, Colorado, specializes in serving children who are blind, or have serious visual and auditory impairments during the most formative years of their life—from when they are born to age of five. The Anchor Center established itself as a nonprofit organization in 1982, and is one in a handful of organizations nationwide that provides early intervention and developmental education services to very young children.
For an infant or young child, blindness or hearing loss can substantially impact developmental milestones. One important intervention tool according to Savannah Wippel, Director of Development and Community Relations, is the use of audio technologies, which can supplement or work in conjunction with a child's hearing aids. This technology can be extremely beneficial in enabling communication for children with deaf-blindness. This technology improves the hearing of speech in difficult listening situations in two different ways.
1. It increases the amount a child speaks or interacts with Anchor Center's trans-disciplinary team of teachers and therapists.
2. It helps improve concentration, focus and maximizes language opportunities, as well as increases spontaneous communication.
The Anchor Center hopes to utilize the equipment for a minimum of five years, and is very thankful for Sertoma's support in providing the life changing technology.
"We are so grateful for the generous donors who gave the gift of hearing to our children, and made it possible for us to have this equipment available in our classrooms," Callie Robinson, Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments said. "This specialized audio and communication technology allows our children with hearing impairment access to the audio environment, which will improve their incidental learning and increase their cognitive and language development skills."
To learn more about how the Anchor Center assists those who are deaf and blind, you can visit their website www.anchorcenter.org.
If you are interested in helping Sertoma create even more stories like this one, please make a donation to Sertoma's Annual Fund! You have the power to give even more children the gift of sound by making a donation online.

Every now and then, we might think of adding in the elegance of your home. This could be because of a friend coming over to your house and staying for a few days. It could also be the result of having enough budget to do so, and you just thought that it might be the best time to add a new look in the neighborhood. No worries, there are some ways to make your home more elegant without spending too much.
Cultivate a Garden
Green and leafy plants can add to the elegance of your home in many ways. Surrounding your house with vegetation gives off the feeling of affectionate caring. There's no denying that every time you see a house with a garden, you will wonder if the owner is a very caring man or woman. With that said, make sure that you protect your garden. You can get fencing contractors Sutherland Shire and they can professionally make the surrounding area of your home as elegant as it can be.
Great Lighting
Having a great lighting going on in your house can be seen even when outside. Make sure that you lights are illuminating the same amount of light as it did when it was still fresh from a convenience store. Having a dull lighting inside your home makes your house look like it's some kind of haunted house had no one have ever dared to enter.
Paint the Exterior of Your Home
Add a fresh coat of paint in the exterior of your home and you'll have yourself a significant difference in elegance. Of course, there are certain color palettes that actually adds elegance, and some colors might not. You just have to choose the best according to your preferences, no one is stopping you from painting it in any way you want.
Great Security
Having a greater security put in place at your home can be refreshing, but it can actually add to the elegance of your home. Seeing a home with a well-protected entrance can stir up some emotions with any passerby, especially when your gates are unique and carry a great feature with it that just sounds more like automatic gates. Still, don't be carried away and get lots of tools for security, just make it as moderate as it can be.You house will be one of your greatest assets and there are many things that you need to do in order to improve it. For now, you can do the aforementioned steps and hopefully get a great understanding of your home.
