Euthanasia methods updated
Oct 28, 2016 08:48AM
● By Kelly Cannon
The Drug Enforcement Agency authorized the use of euthanasia via injection by Draper Animal Control. (Draper City)
By Kelly Cannon | [email protected]
Draper, Utah - Draper Animal Services has updated its method of euthanizing wild and domesticated animals to include intravenous injection. An update about the new available method was given by Deputy Police Chief John Eining to the Draper City Council during their Sept. 20 meeting.
"We have finally met all of the conditions required from the (Drug Enforcement Administration)," Eining said. "Some of those have been an onsite inspection. Some of it has been writing policy and procedure. And the other part has been training the animal control officers to administer the drugs to the animals by injection."
Eining said injections will now be the primary method of euthanizing animals. Animal services will still utilize the gas chamber as a secondary method.
"The chamber will still be used for feral cats and for wild animals. The primary purpose of that is the safety of the animal service officers. Trying to restrain those animals in order to do an intravenous injection is very dangerous to the animal services officers," Eining said. "Therefore, we are not going to recommend that be the primary source of euthanasia for those kind of animals."
Councilmember Michele Weeks said she had met with the chief in February to talk about how many animals went to the chamber versus how many were injected, trying to find out if the numbers were going down. Weeks asked if the new procedure would cause a drop in the number of animals being put down via the chamber.
Eining explained the primary amount of animals that are put down are wild animals so the number of animals in the chamber will not necessarily decrease.
"The only thing you will see decrease are those domesticated animals who have been turned over to us with either a request for euthanasia or for some other purpose where the animal needs to be put down," Eining said. "Those numbers will decrease somewhat. Those will now be done by injection."
Eining went on to say Draper Animal Services has a very robust adoption program and those animals not adopted are sent to other organizations so they can be adopted.
Councilman William Rappleye complimented animal services, saying it was one of the best in the valley.
"I interact with them often and I find they really care about animals," Rappleye said. "I know having to hold a pet and inject it is a lot harder. I want to recognize that. It is a sacrifice for them to have to change that."

Being a Marketer myself, I know that we are nothing without our data. We are constantly looking to understand, improve, and leverage data in new and exciting ways to drive revenue for our business. We connect with our friends in Analytics or Business Intelligence to help us make visuals to share information and insight about our data, all of which takes time and resources from multiple teams. I wanted to take the opportunity to share my 5 tips for better leveraging your data.
The major consumer credit bureaus expect for data furnishers to report on their data in a single, standardized format, known as Metro 2®. While the Metro 2® standards are designed to make it easier to keep credit information up-to-date, many organizations still face many challenges with their Metro 2® reporting. From lack of resources to manual, time-consuming processes, many organizations currently struggling to comply with Metro 2® regulation take a reactionary approach to their reporting. As consumers become more well informed about their credit, through various ease-of-access channels, and as disputes grow exponentially, many data furnishers are looking for ways to ease their Metro 2® reporting.
Last week, I had the opportunity of attending the NASWA UI Directors' Conference and IT/Legal Issues Forum in Orlando, Florida. The conference was a forum to collaborate and discuss innovative ways to improve customer service and business decision making, while fighting fraud within state workforce agencies. At this conference, I had the ability to connect with leadership to discuss the impact that quality data can have on their systems and processes.
Yesterday, I, along with twenty-seven employees from Experian, had the opportunity to spread financial literacy to youngsters in the Greater Boston area. We partnered with the Junior Achievement of Northern New England (JA), whose overall mission is to educate and inspire students from kindergarten to eighth grade about financial literacy and entrepreneurship.
In today's highly competitive business landscape, the data an organization collects is expected to deliver insight and value back to the business. Therefore, there is an increased focus on the accuracy and reliability of data collected, while there is also the apparent need for business users to have direct access to their data. We are seeing organizations express their commitment to making data-driven decisions, and this is only possible when business users are directly able to understand and leverage data to make these decisions. Despite this growing need, a common problem presents itself when IT is the keeper of an organization's data, and business users have to wait for insight from the IT that they can understand.
When you build something, the final product is only as strong as the foundation it was built upon. Building a company is no different. It's not uncommon for startups, in the pursuit of rapid growth and higher valuations, to accidentally allow the basics to become an afterthought.

The ENVELOPE tag of a GET_LAYOUT request defines an envelope for either the layout as a whole or an individual data frame within the layout. The tag consists of four attributes: minx, miny, maxx, and maxy. These are the coordinate values defining the image envelope.
The ENVELOPE tag can be used in both the PROPERTIES and DATAFRAME child elements of the GET_LAYOUT request.
For more information please refer to the ArcXML Programmer's Reference Guide topic "Using GET_LAYOUT and LAYOUT with ArcMap Image Services", by following the link in Related Information, below.
Code: <PROPERTIES> <ENVELOPE minx= "0" miny= "0" maxx= "8.5" maxy= "11" /> </PROPERTIES >
Note: If the coordinates specified in the ENVELOPE tag within PROPERTIES differ from the original ArcMap document layout page the layout result will not adjust to the new size. Instead, the result will show a portion of the layout or show extra white space based on the coordinates given.
Code: <DATAFRAME id= "DataFrameName" > <ENVELOPE minx= "-8260377" miny= "-3192427" maxx= "3697151" maxy= "5775719" /> </DATAFRAME >In another example, a data frame envelope is defined by a minimum and maximum latitude and longitude. The data frame uses a Geographic coordinate system.
Code: <DATAFRAME id= "DataFrameName" > <ENVELOPE minx= "-94" miny= "32" maxx= "-73" maxy= "46" /> </DATAFRAME >
Note: The units used when specifying ENVELOPE should either match the map units of the data frame, or match the units of the coordinate system specified by the FILTERCOORDSYS tag. Also, the coordinates specified may be adjusted to maintain the aspect ratio of the data frame.

When a country is at war, citizens stand behind their troops fighting the enemy. Communities organize to collect food, clothes and other essentials to make the soldier feel comfortable in the war zone. Schools direct their students to write cards with well wishes to the warriors. Parents and friends send care packages. The government that has sent him to fight tries to sustain him by replenishing his supplies and sending reinforcements. All these gestures remind the soldier in the field that people on the home front care and support him. The mementos from home help sustain his morale in the fight against an enemy that is trying to destroy his family and country.
The Catholic Church is fighting a battle against a ruthless enemy that will not back down. Just like any country at war, the Church has troops on the frontlines. These troops are its men that have answered the call to take Holy Orders.
Are they getting the support they need? Is their morale strong enough to resist the enemy's onslaughts? Are parishioners and laypeople giving its frontline troops the proper support they need?
The devil, "A murderer from the beginning, …a liar and the father of lies," Satan is "the deceiver of the whole of the world." This is the enemy that our priests are waging battle against. Unfortunately many Catholics do not recognize that our priests are fighting this battle due to their disbelief in Satan. Due to this unbelieving most priests are not getting the support they require.
Holy Orders
The Sacrament of Holy Orders, (CC 1536) "…is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of time: thus it is the sacrament of apostolic ministry." Powerful words that deem repeating: "…the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of time: thus it is the sacrament of apostolic ministry." That is a heavy burden for a man. Though the men that become priests are called they still have the choice to accept the calling. Through training and schooling they understand what they are entering. Years of training, counseling and mentoring prepares these men for the work that is ahead of them. All through this they can quit if young man wants.
Once he completes that training and a Bishop approves of his learning and his moral character he moves to the next step. Then a Bishop ordains the man. "Impose not hands lightly upon any man (1 Timothy 5:22)".
Reviewing the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the below paragraphs highlight the responsibilities imposed on priests.
Because it is joined with the episcopal order the office of priests shares in the authority by which Christ himself builds up and sanctifies and rules his Body. Hence the priesthood of priests, while presupposing the sacraments of initiation, is nevertheless conferred by its own particular sacrament. Through that sacrament priests by the anointing of the Holy Spirit are signed with a special character and so are configured to Christ the priest in such a way that they are able to act in the person of Christ the head. (CCC 1563)
This "special character" signifies that priests represent Jesus' presence in the Church
Through the sacrament of Holy Orders priests share in the universal dimensions of the mission that Christ entrusted to the apostles. The spiritual gift they have received in ordination prepares them, not for a limited and restricted mission, "but for the fullest, in fact the universal mission of salvation 'to the end of the earth,"'47 "prepared in spirit to preach the Gospel everywhere. (CCC 1565)
It is true that someone validly ordained can, for grave reasons, be discharged from the obligations and functions linked to ordination, or can be forbidden to exercise them; but he cannot become a layman again in the strict sense,75 because the character imprinted by ordination is for ever. The vocation and mission received on the day of his ordination mark him permanently. (CCC 1583)
Our priests have given up most basic human desires to help us and to serve the Lord. When they take Holy Orders they offer themselves wholeheartedly to God and us.
The Devil
Priests are on the frontline in the fight against Satan. As such, they are the main targets of Satan. Many Catholics look upon their priests as examples and Satan purposely targets priests knowing that if a priest fails, this will influence many believers. This might, no will, turn Catholics away from the Church. We have seen this tactic work during the recent sex scandal. We have to remember that priests are human and are susceptible to all the weaknesses of man.
Priests, just as police officers and soldiers, witness all the cruelties of man. They hear things daily in confession that most of us do not hear in a lifetime. Priests, during last rites, see the agony of dying people; some might be begging to continue to live. Missionary priests face physical attack overseas, in prison and at their parishes. Priests in the United States face constant verbal abuse on-line, in print, on television, in novels, from politicians and in face to face encounters.
Satan hopes these attacks weaken the will of the priests. The devil wants them to give up, feel isolated, distressed and forlorn. When priests begin to feel this way, this when the evil one strikes.
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. (1 Peter 5:8-9)
The main thing that Catholics can do to help priests perform their duties is to believe that there is a devil. Because once we stop believing in Satan we are not actively defending against him and the gates are wide open for him to perform his evil. Disbelief also make him stronger to weaken the will of priests.
Priests sacrifice much to serve. So they deserve our whole hearted support.
How do we support priests since they are on the frontlines fighting? Well, just as we do for our soldiers. We provide them with encouragement and nourishment. Parishioners should communicate with them as we do with any human. We should not only talk to them about our problems. Parishioners should talk to priests as if they were regular people. Ask them how their week was. How their family is; work ? How was their vacation? Simple questions that let priests know that the parishioner cares.
Sometimes parishioners are selfish in their interactions with priests. Parishioners bombard priests with requests, advice, prayers and other assorted comments that are parishioner centric. While priests are here to serve, we have to remember they are human too.
These little things will go along way to better the morale of our priests and fight Satan.
In the meantime, pray this to support our priests:
Gracious and loving God, we thank your for the gift of our priests.
Through them, we experience your presence in the sacraments.
Help our priests to be strong in their vocation.
Set their souls on fire with love for your people.
Grant them the wisdom, understanding, and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
Inspire them with the vision of your Kingdom.
Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel.
Allow them to experience joy in their ministry.
Help them to become instruments of your divine grace.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest.

Interview with Cassidy Little from The Two Worlds of Charlie F
By Jake Guastella
What's it really like to serve in the military? The Two Worlds of Charlie F is a truly unique production, as all the actors are real-life injured, wounded and sick service personnel who bring their own true stories to the stage. In the words of BBC Defence Correspondent Caroline Wyatt, it'll take you âthe closest you'll get to the frontline.'
Playing the lead character is Marine Cassidy Little, who was born in Newfoundland, Canada, and lost a limb serving for the British military in Afghanistan. He tells us all about his role in this extraordinary production, that shows the lives of soldiers both at war and when they return home.
How did you get involved with the show?
I was recruited at Headley Court in Surrey - the medical rehabilitation centre for injured servicemen and women run by the RAF. I was approached approximately two and a half months after I was injured, so I was still in a pretty rough place, and I had enough sense about me to know I needed something to do rather than just sitting around licking my wounds. Luckily I was approached about this project and told it could be right up my alley. The director Stephen Rayne and the writer Owen Sheers explained it was going to be about the lives of soldiers before, during and after war, and that it was going to be performed by real servicemen and women. I thought this is going to be great for anybody who's involved, so why not give it a shot?
Has performing always interested you?
Yeah that's true-ish. I've definitely always been an attention seeker, and I learned from an early age that I enjoyed everything about performing. I got a scholarship to study advanced ballet in the United States and I've done a lot of community theatre, back in my home town - It was a great time of my life. I actually originally came to the UK to do stand up comedy, but got slightly distracted due to an interesting series of bets that led to me joining the Marines!
What was the process of creating the show like?
Owen Sheers is a very clever poet, he immersed himself in our lives day in day out. We told him about our stories, not just war stories but the funny stuff we got up to in the military, the bonding and the banter. We told him about what it's like to be in the British military, the good and the bad, the ups and the downs. So while Owen locked himself away to write the show, the cast were busy bonding with each other. We tried to create that same military feeling that everybody's got a job to do and everybody needs to do it. When we all came back together after Christmas, we put our acting hats on and did three weeks of rehearsals, using Owen's script that was based on all the truths we gave him.
How did it feel to perform it the first time?
It was a little nerve-wracking to be honest with you, by that point in time I hadn't been on stage for almost eight years, and a lot of us were on pharmaceuticals because some the guys in the team were injured very badly - there was a definite pharmaceutical intervention going on there! We hadn't actually done a full run of the play until the day of the first performance, but we did what we were trained to do, we went out and performed it the best we could. Luckily we came away with lots of people who liked it.
What did the audience make of the show?
The reaction we got was one thing we couldn't predict, there was no way we could have seen that coming. I was worried people would like the play because they felt sorry for us, I didn't anticipate that it would actually be a good theatrical show. I don't want to blow wind up our arse, but people came up to us afterwards and were saying it was one of the most unique pieces of theatre they have ever seen. They were saying they've never seen anything like it and they've never been so moved by a performance. After a while you stop assuming that people are clapping because they feel sorry for you, and you start assuming they're clapping because they've enjoyed the performance.
What effect has the show had on your recovery?
Trauma does some terrible things to the body and
horrible things to the brain. The main thing about the body is, it will heal on
its own, whether the brain wants it to or not. We've been healing ever since we
discovered trees and climbing and discovered we could fall. But our minds are
different, our minds don't heal very easily, sometimes it takes an
extraordinary thing to give us an opportunity to patch up the holes in our
minds. That's what this show became for all of us who were unsure of where we were
going to go and what we were going to do when the military was no longer an
option. My physical appearance, something that I took for granted, was changed,
and as fickle as that may sound your ego takes a large smack when you don't
look like you used to.
It sounds a little corny, but the show gave us back who we were before we got injured. It allowed us to explore our troubles, in my opinion dysfunction breeds from a lack of communication, so if you're spending time talking about your problems and someone is creating a powerful piece of fiction around that, that in itself is very therapeutic. I'm closer to being the person I was before I was injured than I ever was before this show.
What do you hope audiences will take from it?
Even if you don't know anything about the military, because trauma is now so rife in our culture, we hope you'll be able to relate to the characters and the soldiers on the stage. When you come away from it you'll feel a strength that these guys have found and are now showing you. We hope people will find a confidence in themselves that they may or may not have had before.
You can see The Two Worlds of Charlie F at Richmond Theatre from Mon 17 - Sat 22 Mar.
âCharlie F. is the first time that real-life service personnel
have appeared on stage to tell their own stories. It makes for an evening of
rare, raw power.'
The Independent
âPowerfully affecting - Gripping. The
authenticity of verbatim drama and the saltiness of barracks - room humour with
the finesse of something more lyrical'

I love Haiti, to the core of my being. It is where I grew up, fell in love for the first time, and made lifelong friends. The mountains that contrast against the deep bluebeaches, the warmth of the people, the beautiful provinces, and the rich culture that I call my own are just few of the many reasons why I decided to move back even facing reservations from family and friends. Haiti will never change. You're so young and there is so much more out there, they said. I disagreed and took the step anyway. Yet when these anxious feelings come, I find myself wondering if somehow my romantic notions of Haiti are unrealistic and rather something that I am seeing through rose-colored glasses. It is in the moments of traffic, where things are a little less appealing, that I start to question why I'm here.
Traffic aside, living in Haiti is not the easiest thing to do. For one, time is a nonissue for many, which I find both a good and bad thing. When on vacation, it is a euphoric feeling to have nothing to do and meander around without a care in the world. As a working professional, it can be a bit unnerving, especially after living in the United States where being punctual is seen as a sign of respect. I am punctual to a fault, and it has taken me some time to realize that I needed to adopt a more lax attitude the Caribbean (still working on that).
As I drove home, mentally ticking through the reasons why I shouldn't be in Haiti (it's too hot, it rains too much, I can't eat any more Haitian food, etc), I remember that I left the United States because I was tired or the rigidity, the never-ending rat race. I craved to be somewhere where I mattered and could make a difference.
I believe that Haiti is perfect because of its imperfections. It is in knowing that despite my frustrations, I will sigh, smile, and say Ayiti Cheri. I can never really separate myself from it. The beauty of the country comes from within, from the flexibility of the people. It's in the traffic where we simply drive to our destination knowing that eventually we will make it. So we buy a cool drink from a passing merchant, and we put on some music and just enjoy the ride, no matter how long it takes. And when I go out and see all the progress that is being done around the country, I remember how truly blessed I am to be here in the midst of it all. They say home is where the heart is, and I realize that no matter how far I go, even if life takes me to another country, my heart will always belong to this perfectly imperfect place

This is a great detailed scale model of the Russian submarine Yury Dolgorukiy (K-535) launching a Bulava missile (1:350). The model was made by a Poland modeller, Rhayader. According to the author, the submarine turned out not really well, but still.. Here, we can see rather good work anyway.

Fifteen significant examples of modernist homes of the 50s, 60s and 70s, each of which combine outstanding architectural principles with authentic interior decor.
From the 1950s to the 1970s, the work of Lloyd Wright, Gropius and Mies Van Der Rohe strongly influenced a generation of young Australian architects, who adopted modernist principles in their work. In Iconic Australian Houses: Three Decades of Domestic Architecture, Karen McCartney presents 15 significant examples of homes from this period, each designed by a different architect, that combine outstanding architectural principles and authentic interior decor.

Following the legalization of physician-assisted suicide with Bill C-14 in 2016, many have pointed out the lack of access to palliative care and the need for a national palliative care strategy in the nation.
Palliative care is the provision of comfort by way of medication to those suffering with terminal illnesses. It is estimated that only 30 percent of all Canadians have access to this type of care.
We are thrilled to report that MP Marilyn Gladu's private member's bill C-277 has passed third reading in the Senate, and received Royal Assent on Tuesday, December 12th.
Bill C-277, "an act providing for the development of a framework on palliative care in Canada," calls on the ministry of health to work with palliative care professionals…[Click here to read the full article].

i too was in attendance at this evenings sweetwater board meeting - the information in question was provided to the board clerk - copies for all of the board members to follow along and it was given to dr brand. dr. brand failed to hand the board members their copies WHY??????????????????????????????????
if the Bond Oversight Committee collectively are raising the red flag then why shouldn't we? if they are concerned, then why shouldn't we be? from what i heard they are being disrespected in their roles of oversight members, now that is unacceptable, clearly unacceptable.
the documents were obtained from the County - FROM THE COUNTY!!!! there is no disputing the numbers, what is being disputing is why, why is the district continuing to borrow from prop o bond dollars.
what this has done is made it perfectly clear that NO FUTURE BOND PROPOSALS will fly in the south bay for the district of sweetwater under the current leadership of interim superintendent brand or the majority of the board. board member bertha lopez is the ONLY board member who has consistently asked the tough questions. board member lopez is the ONLY board member who understands what being a board member is all about - acting in a responsible manner protecting the education of our youth and responsibly handling the tax dollars of the south bay community.
speakers spoke of more important data to come. THERE IS MORE????????????????
Ms. Luzzarro: i have observed Mr. Vasquez for a couple of years now. He is NOT a detractor, quite the opposite. He has at every opportunity pointed out more about what is right with the students, teachers, parents and some aspects of the board. the fact the board and brand are charged by law to provide information to the boc is regulation, so why isn't brand honoring what he is legally charged with doing.
our board is not use to dealing with a bond oversight committee (boc) president who is dedicated to integrity. for far too long the boc was led by 'yes' persons, i.e. persons who were associated with certain board members, i.e. either married to them or a sorority sister of one of them. well this is a new dawn day of a new day - and we the community are proud that there are now members of the boc that are willing to stand up and speak the truth. i mean after all isn't that what they are legally charged with doing? what could potentially happen to Mr. Vasquez and the other members if they chose to turn a blind eye?
"hello Ms. Bonnie Dumanis, we know you are busy, but we need you to look into our district. - AGAIN"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"hello, County Board of Educations, i believe there is the real possibility that the sweetwater district is insolvent - so you tell us, who calls the STATE, your or us?"
the information, provided which is based on the county board's numbers is proof, proof that there is much wrong with sweetwater under the leadership of the majority of the board and the interim superintendent, brand.
Mr. Brand: You say, "The reporter did not bother to seek clarification or comment from anyone in the district administration." You've got to be kidding. Mr. Vasquez, who chairs the district's bond oversight committee has been trying for months to get clarification from the district administration to no avail. You also wrote, "We demand that you retract the story and offer an apology..." Question: Who is the WE you refer to? Your consultant firm? Remember, you are INTERIM. In fact, you even call yourself a consultant (I understand that's so you can rake in your retirement as well as ripping the public off for $20,000 a month.The Reader has been a consistent source of truth about this corrupt district, and for that the public is grateful. It is you, not this reporter who owes the community an apology and a retraction of your ridiculous comment.
I want to thank the dedicated members of the community who attend every board meeting and represent the interests of the public.
Thank You Reader and Ms. Luzzaro for the unbiased,honest reporting that is your signature in reporting.I'm gladden by the fact that you do not feel that you have to the superintendents approval to do an article.
Why hasn't the county, state or federal government taken over this district? Dr. Brand you are a scam you always have been and you always will be. All of your comments that you love this district and you are back to help is a bunch of crap! The love came with a $20,000 a month price tag and let me tell you that is not love that is greed. You fit in very well with the greedy board you attempt to lead, they are just as bad as you. Shame on you and shame on them for keeping you. But as a friend who was at the meeting last night told me the only people with any sort of brains and/or common sense are the people that speak at every board meeting. They are the ones that care for the students and the staff they do this for FREE and all they get from this board and you are smirks, and a lack of attention to the logical things they are saying. Maybe if you all would put aside the ego's and listen you would find truth and logic into their questions and remarks. This district is a definite hell hole and is drowning in their own lies and ineptitude's. Ms. Luzzaro keep up the good work and thank your editor for now cowering to the idiotic bulling tactics that Brand tried to pose on you because we all know the UT cowered!
I would love to see those reports everyone is referring to that Brand decided not to give to the board, not that they would understand anything or ask questions. Could the reader get a copy of those reports to post them if possible?
Having lived through the Gandara era and Brand's first era, last night was stunning. It was one of the most disgusting meetings I have ever attended. First, you plan to layoff close to 200 teachers, yet you will only let 10 people speak to the topic and even those ten have to be limited to 2 minutes each. This isn't a meeting that was even going toward midnight - we were done by 9. But even if it was going to midnight, doesn't the district, at the very least, owe those teachers the respect of letting them speak. Doesn't it owe the parents the respect of letting them speak? One of the speakers last night made a very good point - this board has never been a discussion board. It has been a - come in and vote board. Their purpose as a board is supposed to be to list the items to be considered, to listen to the public's view on these items, and then to take those views into consideration when they vote. That just doesn't happen. Brand was taking on all of the Gandara's mannerisms last night. He cut off speakers, he rocked back in his chair, he carried on conversations with Quinones while speakers were talking (and yet reprimanded audience members for talking). This is a man who was just given $120,000 to stick around for 6 more months while they consider whether or not they should START a search for a new superintendent. When Bertha Lopez tried to point out that the wording was implying that they needed more time to continue the search which wasn't correct since it hadn't been started Pearl Quinones just didn't get what her point was. The wording should have been - Ed Brand will continue as superintendent for the next six months at a pay rate of $20,000 per month. It should have never been written to imply that a search was already ongoing. But then again this is Sweetwater. When questioned about the fact that many of the 7th grade curriculum resources are not compatible with the iPads, Dr. Brands response was, that's a lie. And if they're not we'll just make PDF's of them. When an audience member shouted a question about the legality of that his response was, they want our business and they'll do what we tell them. Now who does that sound like? The argument that management is willing to take a pay cut "if necessary" makes no sense. It's clearly their point that they will take a pay cut IF the district isn't able to get the teachers to give up something instead. The argument that teacher jobs could be saved if SEA would just bargain completely ignores the fact that the money is there in reserves and in smarter spending of what we already have. They want others to sacrifice so that they can continue to spend unchecked and run their little pet projects (i.e. the charter school ($500,000 loan from general fun) and the iPad program ($4.2 million so far). The mood on campuses across the district today was horrendous. Do not ever forget that it is our STUDENTS who are feeling this pain. And the cause is NOT the teachers but the board & Dr. Brand.
As long as I'm on the subject of gun totin', the whole situation at Sweetwater is beginning to resemble a B-grade spaghetti western. You know the plot, the outlaw gang controls the town; harasses, intimidates, threatens the townfolk. Then a few good citizens try to take their town back, and the bad guys bring in a few "hired guns."
WOW! First, they violate the Brown Act on June 11 by not allowing any public comment at an open meeting of a public agency;
Next, they re-write the District's By-Laws regarding agenda items, which is again in blatant violation of the Brown Act -- there is nothing in the Brown Act that permits the District to require a 12-month hiatus on any topic before it appears on an agenda again. ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO HAVE AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA...PER THE BROWN ACT.
Then Dr. Brand has the hubris to talk down to a member of the public who has sought to put an item on the agenda within her absolute rights under the Brown Act?
I am aghast, as should be everyone in the District's boundaries.
The Brown Act is law, and violations should be investigated by Grand Jury and DA.
With regard to finances, the County Office of Education has the option to order up an 'extraordinary audit'....why haven't they?
Mr. Brand is saying that Ms Adato's campaign limitation proposal cannot be considered because of the restrictive policy adopted that evening. Shouldn't the new policy begin that evening and not be retroactive?
It appears that the board president and Dr. Brand have forgotten this is a democracy. Trying to run rough shod over the public to try and control them is not only wrong it shows that they are loosing control. Now the president recesses the meeting without letting the public have their comment time, what the he-- is going on. We know Ms Quiones doesn't know how to run a board meeting but to deprive the public of their right to speak is board meeting basics. It had to have been deliberate. I guess Brand is using a willing puppet to wield his unethical means of control. There is a saying what goes around comes around. Trying to put people on hold for a year to prevent people from trying to stop the pay to play culture is not a smart thing to do when your under indictment board members. Don't you see what this makes you look like. We see you for what you truly are.I doubt that Pearl will get the Democratic endorsement because of these types of actions. Take the ring out of your nose Pearl and dance to your own drummer Madame president. Brand could care less for you and he will end up sacrificing you for Cameron and you won't even see it coming.
It is if Brand operates in a parallel universe--one devoid of any semblance of ethics. For someone in his position, I would think it would be better to at least maintain the forms of acceptable social interaction, but even that is apparently too much to ask.
Soon we hope all this will be past, and the memory of Brand will be like that grease stain on the carpet--annoying, but ultimately cleaned up.
But we have work to do to pluck Brand and his entourage from their current--teetering--seats of power. Events such as the last board meeting serve to arm us with greater resolve. We will take him out, just like that grease stain!
Whoa! The meeting of 6/11 was recessed prior to Public Comment !!!! So the public was denied its Brown Act rights to be heard during an open meeting of a public agency???? As of today (6/12) there is no notice of a resumption of the 'recessed' meeting of 6/11.
And who is Dr. Brand to 'decide' that he only agrees to place an item on the agenda (his quote in UT article) only if and when he has the ok of three board members? That smacks of collusion of board members, which is absolutely prohibited by the Brown Act. He just does not have any authority to do that.
Further, the Brown Act, as well as the SUHSD own by laws, stipulate that any member of the board (singular) or any member (singular) of the public may provide agenda items.
Please call in the 'Brown Act' police here and arrest Dr. Brand and Co. There are flagrant violations here.
Yes, you got it!!
Several more violations of the Brown Act (which are now added to the already long list)--shouldn't this mean that it is time for other authorities to step in and take over? Brand is clearly out of control. The board is disfunctional. The people who are responsible enough to want to accomplish business are not being allowed to.
The system has been hijacked by self-serving politicos whose biggest interest is in keeping the scam going.
This must end.
Dr. Brand, thank you for joining the conversation. After reading all of these comments, and reflecting on my own experience as a Sweetwater employee, I am reminded of the advice I received from a district administrator regarding my rejected application for an administration position. This person advised me to be patient because those in power had a lot of favors that they needed to repay. Could a few of those people be principals who are key campaign contributors to one of the indicted board members? What about those administrators who have contributed so many times to so many board member campaigns, that one would think they were tithing to a church? I could continue, but that would be a digression. The point is that this board is financially beholden to the very people it purports to supervise. These very same district administrators run our district, write your reports, and until very recently offered legal advice. There are other recent questionable promotions which have the same flavor. Who are you protecting Dr. Brand, or who are you rewarding for their loyalty and silence? I have absolutely no faith in the ability of this school board to do anything other than protect their own pocket books, floundering political aspirations, and diminishing reputations. Sadly, I have observed that those who would question you do not have the background needed to fully and effectively challenge you. I can only hope that the press will keep reporting, that the recall will be successful, and that two of our board members will go to prison. If we do not clean house, I doubt that there is a single eligible superintendent candidate who will apply for the job.
Several concerns here--
Furlough days mean fewer days for students education, as well as teacher pay. How many days of education are we -- general population--willing to cut?
Next concern-- if Brand gets a contract will he get a comfy package when he leaves like he did in North County?
And, Surf Puppy, Are we reading the same things? Just a teacher doesn't write about students--rather the difficulty of having to deal with the district management at the same time as teaching. I'm not sure what years you taught there? I was wondering what your class size was?
It must be difficult for the teachers to teach under such stress as open boundaries and all of the other issues.
With the no confidence petition being circulated and a no confidence letter from the bond oversight committee what is this board thinking? Why would the board offer a contract to someone who the voters have no confidence in? There is simply no understanding what is going on, the only answer that comes across my mind is cover up of illegal activity. Mrs. Ricasa, Mr. Cartmill and Mr. Mc Cann are acting in a questionable manner. Perhaps it is time to contact the authorities. Dr. Brand left during a grand jury investigation maybe it is time to file the paper work asking that they begin a thorough investigation to reveal the truth.
As a colleague and I walked out of school on Friday after a two-day week we were discussing how exhausted we were and pondering if it was because we were in our 30's and 40's now instead of our 20's. However, I truly believe that it is not our age but our district that is the problem. It is hard to focus on our students, our curriculum and our almighty test scores when the corruption, game-playing, and blatant disregard for students is so pervasive at the top. It is exhausting to try to keep up with which administrator is currently breaking which part of our contract and getting away with it. It is exhausting to still be having class changes 7 weeks into the school year because of disastrous master schedules caused by Brand and his demand that they be created at a ratio of 34:1 and in some cases 40:1 even though that wasn't even being discussed in negotiations. It is exhausting to be hearing one thing from a DWAST "support" person about common core and another from the head of curriculum. It is exhausting to anticipate what ipads will bring in the higher grades as we hear from our colleagues what a massive disaster they are in 7th grade. It is exhausting for 7th grade teachers to try to teach while kids text away on their ipads. It is exhausting and even more importantly demoralizing to simply not be respected. The relationship of teachers to administration in this district is a dysfunctional and abusive one. And like in a family where abuse takes place, the kids ultimately suffer. Many wish so desperately they could escape but they are trapped by a lack of jobs and their safety with seniority. 10 years ago people used to fight to be teach in this district. Now when I mention that I teach in Sweetwater the response is almost always "I'm sorry" or "that must be miserable". This will only continue if we keep Brand and his hit men on the payroll. Can someone, anyone, please take control and save our students. Teachers are trying so hard but we fight for them all day long to no avail. Someone out there must care and have the power to do something . . . right?
Once again Ed Brand is working to undermine the processes that have been set up to allow for the business of SUHSD to be conducted in an orderly fashion. This man is out for himself and perhaps a few chosen friends (with the understanding that as situations change, some friends will be cut off and others brought in, as the needs of Brand flow with some expediency).
Do we know what that $54 million dollar amount that was listed as an interest payment/fee really is? Do we know anything at all about what is going on with the financial situation of Sweetwater UHSD? Not really. We know that bonds get approved, checks go out, and somehow it is not enough. Teachers lose jobs because supposedly there isn't enough money to pay them, yet Brand's pet projects go ahead without serious questioning.
What kind of insanity is this? As we allegedly live in a democratic society, why is it so difficult for us to get rid of someone who acts as though Sweetwater is his private fiefdom?
Thank all that is good for the Oversight Committee, and some of the concerned parents and taxpayers who have been trying to get to the bottom of the morass that is Sweetwater's board of trustees, administration and most of all ACTING superintendent. Let us hope that he is not voted into the position of superintendent.

Being an expansion club is never easy, regardless of the players you have in the squad. The Philadelphia Union may have made things even more difficult for themselves—especially on opening night—by building the team around a core of exciting young players.
To get an idea of just how unseasoned the Union were at First Kick 2010 in Seattle, take a look at the age and MLS experience of their 18-man squad. Four of them were 18 years old or younger, which when averaged with the rest of the squad came out at a spry 24-years old. In the match, seven made their MLS debuts.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, said team manager Peter Nowak, who was proud of the effort his younger guys' were able to put in on Thursday, despite some of the troubles they had.
"I'm just looking forward to my team, and the youngsters we played tonight—there was a lot of good effort," said Nowak of his first official match in charge of the Union. "Overall, you can't take away anything from these guys. If you look around we have to take everything into account, with the red card and still [being] able to play our game in the second half."
Of the youngsters who got into the match, four of them were selected in this year's MLS SuperDraft. No. 1 overall pick Danny Mwanga only lasted the first 45 minutes, having been withdrawn at halftime to account for fellow rookie Toni Stahl's 40th minute red card.
The Congolese striker wasn't as nervous as he thought he'd be and was disappointed to have to come off to compensate for going a man down.
"Yeah, at first I was expecting to be a little nervous, but I was trying to limit my mistakes," Mwanga said. "I think I did ok, not the greatest but good. It was a tough loss—we got a red card in the first half. We have a lot of work to do in front of us. … We need to keep focusing and working hard and come together as a team."
Taking the field late in the second half were Mwanga's fellow first-round picks, Amobi Okugo and Jack McInerney. Taken 6th and 7th overall in the draft, respectively, the Americans got a taste of what is one of the league's most demanding atmospheres.
"It is not tough," McInerney said. "We came out here and played our hardest in probably the toughest environment in the league. It wasn't a good result for us but we will learn from it.
Coming on in the 84th minute for another debutant, David Myrie, 17-year-old McInerney made sure he was ready to come into the game. Once in the mix, the former U.S. U-17 starlet added an exciting spark to the struggling side.
"I wasn't sure, but I prepared if I was going to go in and I just got the call," McInerney said. "I tried to make the most of my opportunity."
With a match under their belts, guys like Mwanga and McInerney are one step closer to becoming settled as Major League Soccer players—something Nowak has plenty of patience for.

Accurate and Affordable Accounting Services for the Windsor, London, and Michigan Region
The accounting services you receive from Taron Bookkeeping and Consulting are a true representation of your financial position. Receiving accurate financial statements on a regular basis will help you form a stable business foundation on which to grow with confidence. You will be able to use your quarterly analysis to make important decisions on the growth and the future of your company.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable involves more than just keeping track of what is coming in and what is owed. You also need to know which departments, products or services are most profitable. An accurate accounting of invoices, customer accounts and actual cash flow gives you the information you need to rectify delinquent accounts, and discontinue services and products that are not benefiting your bottom line.
Accounts Payable
If you are spending more than you are receiving, your accounts payable may need some serious attention. When starting a new business, your accounts payable may understandably be larger than your accounts receivable, but as your business grows and your client base expands, your finances need to be stabilized so that your business can continue to grow.

CESI accedes to the European Sunday Alliance
As of March 2017, CESI has acceded to the European Sunday Alliance, a broad stakeholder coalition on decent working hours and work-life balance.
The European Sunday Alliance is a large network of national and European-level trade unions, civil society organizations and religious communities committed to raise awareness of the unique value of decent working hours in European societies. It joins forces with committed MEPs and offers a platform for exchange and discussion.
In particular, the Alliance:
• supports the protection of health and safety of workers and their right to a limit on maximum working hours and of a weekly rest period, including, in principle Sunday;
• advocates the respect for collective agreements covering work organisation, which are essential to the social contract of a modern European society;
• speaks up against the growing economic pressure undermining national regulations regarding working conditions
• fosters commitment to safeguard and promote work-free Sunday and decent working hours;
• pushes the EU institutions to safeguard Sunday, in principle, as the common weekly rest day in the EU;
• works to ensure that EU legislation and internal market rules guarantee the central place of health and safety, work- and life-balance and social cohesion by launching relevant initiatives to ensure work-free Sundays and decent working hours; and
• pushes governments of Member States to take their responsibility for improving, implementing and enforcing existing legislation and practices and respecting collective agreements.
More information can be accessed on the website of the European Sunday Alliance and in its Founding Statement.
Klaus Heeger: "Decent working hours a key challenge for workers today"
CESI joined the Alliance as a supporting member and encourages its member organisations to accede to the Alliance as full members.
CESI Secretary General Klaus Heeger said: "As highlighted in a main motion adopted at CESI's last Congress, the EU Working Time Directive should apply as broadly as possible. CESI has for long recognised that decent working hours and adequate work-life balance are a key challenge for workers already today. Digitalisation and home-based work models are spreading along with emerging and unregulated so-called new forms of employment."
He added: "It is vital that trade unions, social NGOs and churches join in a forceful coalition with decision-makers and politicians to make sure that employment remains regulated and fair for all. I am convinced that the European Sunday Alliance is a network that can make a difference."

Top Ghost Towns Around The World
Ghost buster we all know the popular cartoon and the movie. But do such things exist? Well, not so sure. Many of us believe in Ghost, while some of us don't! Wonder what if such nightmare turn out true. Goosebumps! Can't think of such scary scene! Some might bravely reject such discussion as a non-believer. But definitely there are few places which are titled as haunted places.
Once a bustling street, turn out to be Silent Street, derelict structures with the remains of untouched workplaces, abandoned towns. Such places offer a tale with a glimpse of once living community to haunting view. Here is a list of 'Top Ghost Town From Around The World'!
- Namibia- Kolmanskop
The place is located among the desert and a heap of sand dunes. Kolmansop was once a house of workers with nearby Diamond mine. The town is known as a 'Ghost Town', was abandoned in year 1950, since then covered as desert. The interior of the building is in good in condition. Today the place is known as the popular tourist place.
- Spain- Belchite
Belchite is a place which has witness a brutal battle of the Spanish Civil War, where thousands of people died and laid their life. The town was occupied by France Forces in the year 1937, which was then attacked by Republican Army. Today the site holds ruin of buildings which serve as a ghostly memento.
To get deep into the history of the place, Belchite was founded in the year 1122 on border of Christian Spain and Arabs. The town was abandoned after the civil war, a new town was built for people few kilometre away.
Today the place is known as 'Ghost Town', as you approach you might notice the soil turns deep red which is considered as a sign of the blood of that battle. Hence it is considered as one of painful reminder, which devastated Spain.
- Italy, Naples – Herculaneum
In 79AD, during summer season Mount Vesuvius erupted. The eruption buried wealthy Roman resorts and other places beneath intense burning ash and rock. After archaeological excavations several private villas, bathhouses and other fascinating places and things were discovered.
Today, Herculaneum is known as 'Ghost Town' which is located 5-miles to the south of Naples ad can easily reached by bus or train.
- Turkey – Kayakoy
The tale of the village started when the Turkish- Greco war ended in the year 1923, where millions of Greeks were banished and Kayakoy Greek village was abandoned with 2,000 residents. Today, the village includes hundreds of ruined sites & two churches which are presently preserved as a Historic site.
- California – Bodie
Till the year 1879, Bodie was a busy and active gold mining town with around 8,500 workers known for their brawling and gun fighting. After a decade, the mine was exhausted and began to decline with loss and went totally abandoned.
Today, Bodie in California, situated in south of town with Bridgeport has only 150 building are in the same state as their resident left them.
- Colorado – St Elmo
The place, St Elmo was once an active place with a mining town, a trading post with well-developed transport route went abandoned when railroads got shut down in 1922. Several residential buildings were left intact, which are even today are filled with the belongings of former inhabitants.
It is located in Gunnison National Forest.
- New Mexico – Chaco Canyon

The 100 Day Project
Yesterday was day 100 of #the100dayproject.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! (*insert all the emojis*)
But in all honesty...
Now, some of you crazy kids asked if I would write about my experience with the project. And although I'm still befuddled as to why y'all want to hear my musings, here goes nothing… ;)
First of all, I DID NOT PLAN TO DO #the100dayproject.
This was not premeditated. Coming from the lady who could barely squeak out 10 days of #inktober, 100 days seemed to be a bit of a stretch.
So why did I decide to take on the challenge?
As is common with artists, I had been dealing with the typical publishing-related frustrations and knew I was headed into a bit of a rut. I wanted to nip it in the bud, but I wasn't sure exactly what to do.
On a Tuesday back in April, I was just about to post a drawing on my Instagram when I saw a post tagged with #the100dayproject. Not able to control my Google-ready fingers, I checked it out. I wasn't a stranger to Internet art challenges - there literally are a bajillion of them - so I thought why not?
(It seemed like a good idea at the time.)
I looked at the drawing I'd just finished, of a girl and her pet pig, and thought, "I like drawing kids. And I like drawing animals." And thus #kiddosandtheirpetpals was born.
Great story, right? I'll tell it again later ;)
So now some of you are thinking about taking on your own 100 day project (because if I can do it, you sure as hello operator can!) And that's great! Go for it!
But since you asked...
Here are a 5 pieces of advice/things I've learned from the experience…
100 Days of STRENGTH.
Pick a theme that you LOVE. I love drawing children and animals. LOVE. IT. In other shorter art challenges I have done, I have challenged myself to work on my weaknesses (*ahem* vehicles…), but the 100 day project is not the time or place for that. 100 days is a really long time and if you want to reach the finish line and not be a shell of your former self, I'd strongly suggest you play to your strengths. And if you do want to be a rebel (*overachiever*) and address your weaknesses for 100 days, make part of the theme something you love; i.e., if you're not good at characters, then at least pick a medium in which you are super comfortable. You don't have to prove yourself to anyone and the goal of the project is not to drive yourself insane.
This project is not easy, set some ground rules.
Like I said, 100 days is a really long time. This project is super open-ended because it's meant to be tailored to your needs. I like a little structure, but I only ended making a few rules for myself.
I tried to limit each drawing to an hour, unless I couldn't figure out what to draw or got into a good groove. (I have a whole sketchbook full of images I started and did not finish because I didn't want to post them. There were some days I would start 8-10 drawings before sticking with the one I finally ended up posting.)
I tried my best not to think/overthink things. My brain is my own worst enemy and I do my best work when I just let my art instincts do the drawing.
I also made sure my jerk of a brain knew that nowhere did it say it needed to be 100 CONSECUTIVE days. I took 3 weeks off to prepare for SCBWI LA and IT WAS OKAY. I gave myself a restart date and held myself accountable (#protips).
Take a day or two off if you need to. Limit your post to weekdays. Consistency is key, but don't set yourself up for burnout.
Do the project for yourself.
My number one rule when posting images to social media is this:
Let me say it again, DO NOT ASK WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF IT. Please do yourself a favor and don't open those flood gates. People will tell you what they think whether you ask or not. Post things because YOU want to post the thing you made that you love and want to share with the world. All that matters is what YOU think of it.
Okay, rant over. But seriously, people can get even more "request-y" during these challenges and you have to just take it with a grain of salt. I definitely asked people for animal suggestions throughout the 100 days, but never felt beholden to them.
The one thing that never changed was that this was MY project and I wasn't going to care what anyone else thought about it because I was doing it for myself. I wanted this project to be unapologetically me.
Decide what you want out of the project?
My initial goal with this project was just to come up with some story ideas.
That's it.
What I ended up with:
Confidence (in myself and my art skills), lots of new character/story ideas, sketches with the potential to finalize for my portfolio, pride at finishing what I started, etc.
You may just want to finish. And that's okay. But having an initial end goal is just something to keep in mind as you go along.
Do something with the project.
This is the thing I'm still working on (but give me a break, I just finished YESTERDAY you guys 😉).
Maybe make a sketchbook out of your favorite images? Maybe a few of your illustrations inspired some story ideas that you just can't wait to get into dummy form? Maybe take some of your favorites to final and make a couple corresponding illustrations to have a lovely set of sequential images that will just impress the pants off of all those fabulous editors and ADs just waiting to hire you <3
(Side note: Create a unique hashtag for your project if posting to social media. It keeps all your images together and easily searchable. You can search different hashtags on Instagram to see how many posts have been made with that name.)
Whatever you choose to do, don't let all this hard work live solely on the internet. Give it a life. ( A very smart lady told me this.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement throughout this process. I'm not going to say I couldn't have done it without you (spoiler alert: I could've), but you all made the challenge so much more enjoyable <3
Now go forth and make beautiful art!

- Hugging and kissing are pretty important in a romantic relationship.
- But taking your physical affection to the extreme right at the beginning of a relationship could be a red flag.
- It could mean you are overcompensating for the other more important aspects of a healthy relationship that are absent.
- It could also mean your partner may be abusive.
- Every situation is different, but it's worth thinking about what's left when the dust settles and you want to continue your relationship past the honeymoon phase.
Physical affection is what separates an intimate relationship from a platonic one. It's a vital part of the equation that brings people closer together, along with trust, healthy boundaries, and honest conversation.
But too much affection at the beginning of a relationship can be a red flag. For example, a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found how couples who were overly-affectionate from the start of their relationships were more likely to divorce than those who weren't as over the top.
The researchers followed 168 couples for 13 years to try and decipher some of the long-term signals of divorce, as well as the signs of a long-lasting, healthy marriage.
The newlyweds who divorced after seven or more years were "giddily affectionate" towards each other, the authors wrote, and were a third more affectionate than the couples who were happily married for longer.
Relationship psychologist Claire Stott, who is currently a data analyst for dating app Badoo, told Business Insider the findings of the study are interesting, but not that surprising.
"It's quite well understood that being overly affectionate can be a sign of overcompensating for kind of a lack of communication or trust, or having a relationship that's high quality," she said. "This type of thing is not usually sustainable. If you think about it, having a relationship that's incredibly intense affection-wise, it's really hard to maintain that."
Rather, it's normal for passion to die down after a while of being together, and there's nothing wrong with that, Stott said. But if you are overcompensating from the beginning, it's a sign the relationship isn't going to last — mostly because it's going to be more obvious when the passion fizzles out.
"Most people are okay with there being a honeymoon period and it ending, it's usually not a dramatic end, its a gradual thing," Stott said. "But if you're overly one way to begin with, that honeymoon period can feel like it's dramatically ended when it starts to decline — you're going from one extreme to another."
A good, solid relationship is built on honesty, trust, and affection too, but affection isn't enough on its own. And everyone has their own differing levels of affection they are comfortable with. So "if it seems too much, it probably is too much," Stott said.
"Long-term, you don't need that level of affection to keep it working, it's the other factors that come into play more like honesty, communication, cooperation and trust."
A good relationship I think is a slow burner.
This isn't to say passion and physical affection are bad things. Everyone likes to feel wanted, and hugging and kissing are simply the most obvious signs you enjoy each other's company. But it's important to remember there's no rush, and being intimately close to someone can take time — and that's fine.
That being said, there are some instances where affection can be a red flag for toxic behaviour. One of the first signs a relationship is emotionally abusive is the way someone acts right at the start.
To reel in their potential partners in, abusive people use a manipulative tactic called love bombing. They shower their new love interest with gifts, compliments, and physical affection, only to start taking away once they've got them hooked.
Their partner then starts to blame themselves for their shift of character, and does everything in their power to try and get their soulmate back — although that person never existed. This includes doing everything the abuser wants, and neglecting their own needs.
If you feel like a relationship is progressing too quickly for you, there's no harm in taking a step back and slowing it down. There's nothing wrong with getting to know someone at a pace you're comfortable with. Equally, if you don't get that mad rush of feelings and butterflies straight away, it doesn't mean you won't fall in love.
"A good relationship I think is a slow burner," Stott said. "It's not necessarily one that's going to be super intense at the beginning. It's one that's going to gradually build as you get to know each other."

Hip Pain relief Leisure World
Hip pain is a frequent complaint for Drs. Gabriella and Raymond Moss they have spent 30 years treating patients with all forms of hip pain at Moss Chiropractic and Wellness.
A long life of hard work, exercise, non-optimal posture, etc. can wear down this joint, causing deterioration and injury. They treat hip pain successfully to help you get relief and resume an active lifestyle.
Chiropractic Care for Hip Pain and Injury Relief near Leisure World Areas
Before treatment, you need a full diagnosis of the reasons behind your hip pain or injury. Once our chiropractors know why you hurt, they can recommend a plan for immediate relief and long-term healing. Often, a combination of chiropractic care, therapeutic exercise and neuromuscular rehabilitation can bring you back to comfortably walking, swinging, bending and lifting again.
Some of the most common causes of hip pain include:
Herniated or bulging discs in the spine—Injured discs can pinch nerves affecting the sensation and movement of the hip joint.
Joint inflammation and deterioration—Osteoarthritis from years of stress on the ball joint of the hip is another common cause of pain. In addition to correcting posture and alignment through chiropractic care to relieve stress from the hip joint, Drs. Mosses patients have experienced great arthritis pain relief from chiropractic treatments to the affected area.
Posture and gait problems—Poor posture and incorrect work out or lifting ergonomics can cause repeated stress and imbalance on the body. These imbalances can start in the spine and stretch all the way down to the hips—and even into the knees and ankles. Drs. Moss can use manual or instrument chiropractic adjusting to correct alignment. In addition proper support of the arches of the feet can provide an added benefit to correcting the problem.
Injuries like sprains and strains—Active people can also sustain hip injury pain from sprains and strains. A combination of chiropractic care for realignment, and specific exercise therapy can be very effective for healing and relief.
