Mattot/Massei - מטות/מסעי : "Tribes" /
Torah : Numbers 30:2(1)–36:13
Haftarah : Jeremiah 2:4–28, 3:4
Gospel : John 18–21
Messiah is our redeemer. He has redeemed us from slavery, from sin, from condemnation and from death. He is our kinsmen redeemer, our brother in the house of God, who has ransomed us from the debt we could not pay. Therefore, we speak of Him as redeemer. He is also the national redeemer of Israel. Just as Moses, the first redeemer, redeemed all Israel from slavery, so too the second redeemer, Messiah, redeems the whole nation. And this great second redemption is not only a spiritual redemption, but it is the literal, physical redemption of Israel. He will gather the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob from the nations, and restore them to the land of Israel.
The blood avenger himself shall put the murderer to death; he shall put him to death when he meets him. (Numbers 35:19)
Messiah is the redeemer of Israel. In the Bible, the job of a kinsmen redeemer includes taking blood vengeance. Therefore, if Messiah is to redeem Israel, He must also avenge Israel. He will require recompense in blood for every drop of Jewish blood that has been spilled, and for every drop of His disciple's blood, whether Jew or Gentile. Psalm 110 says, "He will judge among the nations, He will fill them with corpses, He will shatter the chief men over a broad country. He will drink from the brook by the wayside; therefore He will lift up His head." (Psalm 110:6–7)
Psalm 9:12 speaks of God as the redeemer, the blood avenger, when it says, "He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted." Psalm 79:10 says, "Why should the nations say, 'Where is their God?' Let there be known among the nations in our sight, vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed."
The implications of Messiah coming to avenge the blood of Israel is frightening when we consider that the Church has been, historically, the chief spiller of Israel's blood. In the name of Christ, literally hundreds and hundreds of thousands, even millions of Jews have been ruthlessly killed through the centuries.
The book of Revelation depicts the souls of martyrs crying out to God for vengeance:
"How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" … and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also. (Revelation 6:9–11)
In Deuteronomy, the LORD says, "Vengeance is Mine, and retribution," (Deuteronomy 32:35) The prophet Isaiah assures us, "Take courage, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance; the recompense of God will come, but He will save you." (Isaiah 35:4) All of these texts combine to paint a dire picture of Messiah's second coming. When He comes again, He comes as the avenger of His people.
Shavuah Tov! Have a Good Week!

text: Ottis Gibson sacked as South Africa coach Loop Sports Created : 6 August 2019 Sport Ottis Gibson. Ottis Gibson has been released from his role as South Africa's head coach. Gibson, 50, had been in the post since October 2017 but was under pressure following a poor Cricket World Cup campaign, as the Proteas won three of a possible nine matches and failed to progress beyond the group stage. The former West Indies fast bowler has been linked with the upcoming England vacancy, as Trevor Bayliss is leaving after the Ashes. On Sunday, Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced it was implementing a "football-style" restructuring, which will see Gibson depart. CSA chief executive Thabang Moroe and acting director of cricket Corrie van Zyl will now appoint "an interim management team, selection panel and captain" for South Africa's imminent tour of India. Ex-England batsman Kevin Pietersen, who was born and raised in South Africa, backed former Proteas wicketkeeper Mark Boucher to succeed Gibson. "There is only ONE man who can turn their cricket around - @markb46," Pietersen wrote on Twitter. "He has trophies, he's respected around the world & he's an absolute beaut of a human!"

Home > D. General pathology > Infectious diseases > helminths
Wednesday 24 November 2004
Parasitic worms are highly differentiated multicellular organisms. Their life cycles are complex; most alternate between sexual reproduction in the definitive host and asexual multiplication in an intermediary host or vector.
Thus, depending on parasite species, humans may harbor either adult worms (e.g., Ascarus lumbricoides) or immature stages (e.g., Toxocara canis) or asexual larval forms (e.g., Echinococcus species).
Once adult worms take up residence in humans, they do not multiply but generate eggs or larvae destined for the next phase of the cycle. An exception is Strongyloides stercoralis, the larvae of which can become infectious in the gut and cause overwhelming autoinfection in immunosuppressed persons.
There are two important consequences of the lack of replication of adult worms:
(1) Disease is often caused by inflammatory responses to the eggs or larvae rather than to the adults (e.g., schistosomiasis)
(2) disease is in proportion to the number of organisms that have infected the individual (e.g., 10 hookworms cause little disease, whereas 1000 hookworms cause severe anemia by consuming 100 mL of blood per day).
helminth infections (helminthiases)

Next to family, breakfast is the most important thing. For all the walking Tim and I did, it was important to start our day right with a Parisian breakfast. While staying in the Montmartre area, we started our days with a cup of café crème* and either a pain au chocolat or a croissant. They were perfect; those flaky, buttery layers of pastry. I woke up every morning looking forward to the croissants.
On our last morning in Paris, we only had time to get breakfast because we had to make our way to the airport to catch an early afternoon flight. There were several things still left on our list of things to eat, so that morning we decided to forgo the simple croissant breakfast in search for a croque monsieur. We couldn't go too far, so we walked around our hotel near the Porte Maillot station in the 17th arrondissement and knew we found our place when we saw a chalkboard sign advertising croque monsieur! The bistro was lovely, with chairs lined up to watch over Avenue de la Grande Armée; it made for a fine last meal in Paris.
We ordered a café crème each, and a croque monsieur for the monsieur and a croque madame for the madame. Tim ate all of his and half of mine, but that happens at most meals for us. They were fantastic sandwiches, and when eaten with some mustard, mmm, even better. I was satisfied, Tim was stuffed, and we were both happy.
Our last meal was at Tabac Le Maillot, and the name makes sense after I mention that there was a large tobacco stand in the bistro. Does it? I'm not sure. I'm just the girl who asked "Ou est la toilette?" properly but could not understand the response spoken back in rapid French. It turned out I had to pay 20 cents to use la toilette.

Scarlett Johansson has filed a lawsuit against the French publisher JC Lattes for using her likeness in the book The First Thing We Look At.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the book features a character who is a doppelganger for Scarlett Johansson. Other characters in the book believe that the doppelganger is the Avengers actress until it is later revealed that her real name is Jeanine Foucaprez.
Author Gregoire Delacourt defended his book saying that his novel is a work of fiction that deals with modern fantasies.
Delacourt said: "This corresponds with the fantasies of our times. All these famous people live with us … But I wrote a book of fiction. My character is not Scarlett Johansson, it is Jeanine Foucaprez!"
Delacourt also notes that there are two other characters in the novel who are compared to Ryan Gosling and Gene Hackman. The author said that he can paint an immediate picture for the reader by comparing the character to a famous face. So far, Gosling and Hackman have not filed lawsuits.
The author said that he chose Johansson because his book is about "true beauty of women," and that the actress was the "epitome of beauty today."
Johansson, however, believes that Delacourt is an opportunist who is exploiting her likeness for monetary gain. The actress is seeking compensation for the "breach and fraudulent use of personal rights." She also hopes to ban the future adaptations of the book.
What do you think about Scarlett Johansson's lawsuit? Is the actress being over-sensitive about the French novel? Should real people be kept out of works of fiction?

My wife is the baker in the family so here's her blog post about coconut almond bake. I'll just take a back seat and sip on something lol….
A few days ago I felt like eating a coconut almond bake. Coconut almond bake is a variation for my favourite coconut bake or wholewheat coconut bake recipe. I had the recipe, and for some strange reason I turned to my own website just to see if the main picture for this recipe should be replaced ( I had taken out a photo of the bake and enjoyed it).
Needless to say, I was surprised; I did not have a coconut almond bake recipe nowhere on the site. For this, I was confused! I really thought this recipe was on the website. It turned out that I did not even have it on draft. You know I had to fix this right away. I just don't know how I could have overlooked this one.
Preparing the Coconut Almond Bake Recipe
Almonds are one of my favourite nuts. I enjoy finding ways to include this nut in many of my favourite recipes. The nut has to be blended very fine for this recipe and mixed in the flour just like you would the coconut. Much like you would prepare the coconut meal (the coconut is blended in water to form a soft fine meal), you would do the same for the almonds. Yes, you are making almond milk in essence, but you are retaining the meal when it is strained. Of course, the milk could be used as well for this recipe.
A Tasty Variation
I like the nutty taste of this bake. The coconut and almond meal blend in this bake is exquisite. And if you kneaded the bake well, you should have a well balanced grain bread with a wonderfully moist texture. You can enjoy this bake with a variety of fillings. You have it simple, with cheese; or you can have it with a vegetable or saltfish buljol filling. You can find lots of ideas for fillings on the site.
My Son's Love for Coconut Almond Bake
My son likes his hot coconut almond bake with cheese. The cheese warms and softens in the bread. He likes the gooey-ness of the melted cheese and the warm sweet, nutty taste of the bake. So, he could eat a half of bake easily this way, unless I stop him. We have to always firmly, but gently, remind him that moderation will help him stay healthy. This is the time for him to learn control, not when he gets older. Believe me, I know this very well. So with this in mind, go ahead and prepare your coconut almond bake. Just remember your portions. Enjoy!
The Coconut Almond Bake Recipe
Coconut Almond Bake
4 cup all-purpose flour (or 3 ½ all-purpose flour + ½ whole wheat flour)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg (optional)
2 tablespoons (1 envelop) instant yeast
½ cup finely grated coconut
½ cup almond meal or finely grated almond
1 egg, beaten
½ – ¾ cup coconut milk or almond milk
3 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil or olive oil
½ teaspoon vanilla, almond and coconut Essence (each), optional
Note: The pictures below don't include how to make coconut milk or almond milk. Please click on the links for recipes. Also, retain some of the coconut meal and almond meal.
In a deep bowl, sift flour. Mix in the salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and yeast.
Prepare the coconut meal and almond meal. Retain the milk.
Then add the coconut and almond meal to the flour. Mix well.
Next, beat the eggs. Add the milk, vanilla and melted butter. Blend well.
Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture. Mix with a fork to form a soft dough.
Scrap the sides and continue to knead. Add some flour if the dough gets too sticky while you knead.
Next, knead for about 5 minutes or until you get a smooth dough like in the picture. Cover and let rise until it doubles in size. Punch down and place on a cookie tray.
Using a rolling pin or hands, shape dough into a circle (3/4 to 1 inch thick) in a greased baking tin, round or square. Prick top of the bake with fork to decorate.
Leave to rest for another 15 minutes. Place in an oven and bake at 250 degrees F for 29 minutes or until golden brown.
The finished coconut almond bake.
I really loved posting this coconut almond bake for you all. A little more again and we would have forgotten all about it. Coming up next we'll be doing some more baking. See you soon and don't forget to subscribe to our mailing list and get trini recipes in your mailbox. Of course send some feedback or a comment and tell me how the recipe came out. I'd love to hear all about it.
Ah gone. 🙂

EXCON 2015 attracted 850 exhibitors, including 275 foreign companies, to participate in this mega event. The exhibits were spread over a display area spanning 20,000 sq m, comprising outdoor area as well as four indoor halls. China, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Finland, Sweden, Turkey and UK had their own country specific pavilions.
The exhibitors´ profile covered manufacturers in every CE segment like earthmoving, road compaction, asphalt and concrete paving, asphalt mix plants, concrete machinery, crushing and screening, material handling, underground excavation, on highway trucks, mining trucks, forklifts, mini construction equipment, component and spare parts suppliers, technology solution providers, etc., and a large number of SMEs.
This mega event was flagged off by Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways. During his inaugural, he said that issues have been resolved for 90 per cent of 380 projects after his take over. He added that this is an important time for the country, on how we can work fast. Interestingly, as his take on environment, he urged the equipment manufacturers to build ethanol and bio-diesel engine vehicles instead of diesel.
Over a 100 new products were launched, during the exhibition, by various equipment manufacturers, reflecting the buoyant mood of the industry. Some of the notable launches were by JCB, Schwing Stetter and XCMG combine; Larsen & Tuobro Construction Equipment along with Komatsu and Scania Trucks; Volvo Trucks, VE Commercial Vehicles, Tata Motors, Tata Hitachi, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, Puzzolana, Caterpillar and Doosan Infracore India. Other recognised industry leaders like Atlas Copco, Kelly Material Handling, KYB Conmat, Kobelco, LeeBoy, Ajax Fiori, Palfinger, Ammann Apollo, etc., had also put up impressive display of their product ranges. The event was replete with live demos of equipment and visitor entertainment sessions.
Most unlike its yester-edition, EXCON 2015 witnessed throngs of prospective customers descending on the venue, with a predefined agenda to discuss and finalise business with their respective targeted suppliers. Preempting a positive buyer sentiment many companies provided end to end facilitation enabling them close business deals at their stall itself. JCB had kiosks for various equipment finance companies inside their stall, while Caterpillar promoted the 360 degree customer approach and Volvo Finance was present in their stall. Many exhibitors claimed to have closed a large number of orders during the course of the event.
Overall, the venue was abuzz with meaningful interaction between exhibitors, customers and visitors. A very buoyant mood prevailed during the show.

When we think about research into the origins of electricity, names like Andre Ampere, Georg Ohm or Benjamin Franklin and his kite might come to mind. Who'd have thought about stroking a cat with amber, testing electrical conductivity with a small child or using one's finger to touch 100,000 volts?
The world is an amazing place, and understanding how it works is phenomenally interesting.Nigel Latta
Needless to say, most of these fall into the 'don't try this at home' category. It's much safer – and more humorous – to watch Nigel Latta test these things.
Nigel Latta Blows Stuff Up
Watch Series 1/Episode 1: Lightning
Science ideas and concepts in Episode 1: Lightning
In between the drama and humour, Nigel introduces a number of important science concepts. This episode explores:
- electricity
- conductivity
- lightning
- how the body uses electrical impulses to move skeletal muscle
Nature of science
Science is often seen as being dry, uninspiring and unimaginative. Creativity is found in all aspects of scientific research, from coming up with a question, to creating a research design, interpreting and making sense of findings and looking at old data in new ways.
Resources on the Science Learning Hub provide an in-depth – and safer – means to further explore these concepts.
Electricity and conductivity
Electricity occurs when there is an accumulation or flow of charge. The flow of charge or electrons is known as electric current.
When electric charges flow through something, we call this electrical conduction. The substance that the electric charges are flowing through is called a conductor. Nigel was protected from harm because his car and, later, a special suit formed Faraday shields. A Faraday shield is made of a conductive material that channels electricity along and around but not through the material.
Read about electrical currents, circuits and conductivity.
Activity idea
Electricity and conductivity (suitable for primary and lower secondary)
In this activity, students construct simple electrical circuits and test a variety of materials to identify those that are good conductors and those that do not conduct electricity.
Testing for conductivity
Lightning is a large-scale natural spark discharge that occurs in the atmosphere or between the atmosphere and the Earth's surface. On discharge, a highly electrically conductive plasma channel is created in the air, and when current flows in this channel, it rapidly heats the air up to about 25,000°C.
New Zealand is part of a network that detects lightning strikes around the world. It provides valuable weather information about thunderstorm location and activity to meteorological services, air travel operators and others.
Activity idea
Lightning web quest and using the World Wide Lightning Location Network (suitable for upper primary and lower secondary)
In this activity, students use the web to answer a series of questions about lightning. They log onto the World Wide Lightning Location Network to view lightning activity in the South Pacific.
Viewing and monitoring lightning
Electrical impulses and muscles
Electrical impulses stimulate the contraction (movement) of skeletal muscles. In cardiac (heart) and smooth muscles, the contractions are stimulated by internal pacemaker cells, which regularly contract without any conscious control.
Nerves within the human body carry the electrical impulses that move our muscles. Nigel used the good-natured chef Michael Van de Elzen to demonstrate how small electrical shocks interfere with muscle movement.

Note: At the end of this post are links to previous posts about my lung disease. I'll keep these links at the end of each subsequent post or figure out how to add a Table Of Contents.
When we last left our hero…
The more I deal with my lung disease, the more things start to become clear and these things are beyond the physical. So much concentration is focused on what you can do, how you feel, how you look, how you get around, all things that are tangible and viewable. However, dealing with any debilitating disease or injury is much more than the visible effects and scars.
What really needs treatment and rehabilitation is your mental ability to both reconcile what your life is now compared to what your life once was, as well as to come to terms with how it is viewed and accepted by others. In addition, in my case, I miss the driven nature of my type of job, the people that it brought me in contact with, the impact it would allow me to have at times, and the learning experience and growth that was there for me. I do NOT miss my particular workplace but I deeply miss the work environment and participation, and I miss the video industry deeply.
So, I look for anything that will come close to approximating that or at least get me back to some kind of limited shared experience. The rehab offers that option. It allows me to have a routine guided by goals and methods of achieving those goals that also allow me to observe, learn, and improve. It gives me the social experience of a workplace, the future planning for upcoming sessions, and the sense of accomplishment when successful in a project.
It does NOT get me back to the seminars, meetings, activities, and conventions that I loved in the video industry since 1983, but it gets my mind thinking again so that I can find productive and accessible ways to achieve similar results.
Like this blog.
This is written for myself, but hopefully remains of interest (and in some cases useful) to you and those you know. I really hope that you pass it around. I don't write it to hear myself type, I write it to hear you type back. It is essentially just a new spin on the old art of conversational discussion and discourse.
Never was that more evident than this past Thursday night in Havertown. One really magnificent and loud Thunderstorm came through the Havertown / Philly around 7:30 PM. It lasted well over 2 hours and lingered through the early morning hours. The power went out around 8 PM and stayed out until 12:45 AM. The picture to the side is the best shot I could get with my camera. It is the illumination of a lightning flash at around 9PM. I couldn't catch a bolt itself, but the illumination from the after flash at night is pretty cool.
What this caused was that the family had to adjust to a different method of conversation and communication during that time. We didn't stand around the piano and sing turn of the century songs, but we did joke, sing, and play with the dogs (who were terrified by the storm). We found a way to accomplish something despite our limitations. It wasn't perfect but it wasn't grinding to a halt.
That is what pulmonary rehab hopefully will do for me. Speaking of which, my body clock got me up in time for the next mornings session despite the multiple clocks telling me multiple times after the power outage. With a stop at Wawa for a breakfast sandwich.
One thing that has been impressed upon me by my rehab specialist at Lankenau is that I need to eat before coming into the rehab. I've always been one to not eat when I first get up, but now I have to change that one habit. The most convenient, aside from a bowl of cereal, is my local WAWA. Since I take Cell Cept in the morning and I cannot eat until one hour after I take it, timing is tricky. So I stop, grab the papers and a bite, be glad the Hoagiefest guy is long gone, and head out to park at the hospital.
Meticulous parking aside, I'm actually in a good mood. I go to the volunteer office to get my free parking perk (didn't need KLOUT for that perk), take a wee pee, and grab my monitor and oxygen canister.
The session is much like previous ones, but now I can see a bit of improved stamina. Still, my monitors don't like me again and I need to do my blood pressure twice. First up are the warm up exercises and they go well, though the arms in a circle feels a little tougher than normal.
Then to the treadmill, which I am now confident enough to start in motion myself. My goals are to go for 7 minutes at 1.40 MPH. Yeah, eat my dust. Again, we try the experiment of "out of sight, out of mind" on the monitor. The "out of mind" part is easy for me, but the "out of sight" still is slightly visible, so I have to look away from it myself.
The only drawback is that at my walking oxygen levels of 4 ltrs, I tend to hover around 88 to 90 on the treadmill. This is just below where I want to be. She turns the oxygen up to 6 ltrs, and my numbers jump to 91-92. Physically, I really don't notice that much of a difference, but it shows in my numbers. I am disappointed that (at least for this session) I need to be boosted. While it feels like a step back, the rehab specialist is happy with my results. Until we take the blood pressure, which is lower than normal. That concerns her a bit, so she gets me some water. I drink it like a parched desert traveler, so fast in fact, I expect to see Hope and Crosby and an oasis.
Take a minute, discuss new cell phones and the storm, then off to the Imaginary Ice Cream Making Machine. The resistance is set a bit higher and we go 7 minutes with this. Still, this feels like the easiest of any of the exercises because I am sitting and only my upper half comes into play. I make enough ice cream to drain the cows in Amish Country. However, it does feel guilty to produce so much ice cream on a day when the hospital has a farmers market on site. So, I lecture the imaginary happy children that they cannot have ice cream until they finish their vegetables. I fake sell very little ice cream this day.
Next is the stationary bike. Another 7 minute task, this also seems to work well for me, even though it involves the entire body. I hit my monitor, I hit the timer, I hit the pulseox, and I almost hit the TV because a story about Kim Kardashian's wedding come on. AARRRGGGHH!
Finally, the weights at 8 minutes, 4 lbs. This is accompanied by a cartoon guide as to how to do each exercise. The cartoons are effective but rudimentary. I find myself concerned that one guys legs get fatter when he lifts the weights above his head. What an odd anatomy.
One note on something that I find extremely hard to relearn, and that is how to breathe. I've done it for 55 years this way and I find that I've been doing it wrong. My problem is learning the PURSED LIPS exhaling technique. I am supposed to inhale through my nostrils, but that only produces a short inhale. I am either incapable of or apprehensive about taking a deep breath in that way. Then I need to exhale through pursed lips. This is the best way to process your oxygen intake, but damn it, it is hard for me to learn.
I am getting better at it, though.
I do my cool downs, whistle a happy tune (to practice my pursed lips) and check my final vitals. My blood pressure is back to where it usually is, my oxygen level is acceptable, and my sweat is not soaking.
I do get a bit of potentially good news. I had help up on doing the rehab because it has a $30 per visit co-pay or $90 a week. On a fixed disability income, that is near impossible. I sold a couple of things, cut what little I could cut, and decided to start and simply do without elsewhere. However, the rehab specialist gave me information on a foundation that might offer these kinds of financial support for pulmonary rehab patients.
I don't like to have things done for me unless I have the ability to reciprocate, either now or in the future. As of now, that doesn't exist and it really frustrates me. At Christmas, I get a much bigger kick out of watching someone open what I gifted them rather than opening my own gifts. So, while this is an odd feeling, right now it is essential, so I ended my session with hopeful news.
That was my day. Deli meat for lunch and dinner, an easy meal deal. Twitterati viewed and answered. What little personal e-mails I get answered. Disappointed by the Phillies. Writing and thinking.
Nothing earth-shaking, but each step holds a promise. Now to capitalize on it.

Traveling alone and following the river in search of perfect spots to cast for rainbow and brown trout, twenty-year-old Emma Yardley was down to her last $4 when she got the email.
The Vermonter was traveling 1,000 miles through New Zealand (from Auckland to Queenstown) with her five-weight fly rod, practicing the art that her father had exposed her to since she was a child. She was "hunting stealthily," she says, sight fishing in riverbanks slow and steady in the clear-blue waters.
She'd bought a one-way ticket to New Zealand — one of the prime fishing destinations in the world — and had stretched her $1,000 savings for three months. As her money dwindled, she never considered feasting on the fish she'd bring in on her line. It was all catch and release — this was her expression, not angling for sustenance.
The message was from the owners and operators of Patagonia River Guides (PRG) in central Argentina based in the town of Trevelin. This wasn't just any outfitter, but a $7,000-a-week service drawing CEOs and other big-business well-to-dos to their dream vacations.
When she first asked PRG for a gig, six months prior, she expected her email to be lost in cyberspace or to get a quick rejection. "No, lady, we're a five-star lodge," she recalled of her first interaction with the company. They weren't looking for a college-aged kid to suck up their time. After all, the company hired many of the finest Argentine anglers in the business, those who had more years' experience on the line than she did on Earth. So she tried again, this time saying she would do whatever it took: wash boats, help take care of the place, maintain their blog and assist the guides.
Best friends and owners of PRG, Rance Rathie and Travis Smith, from Sheridan, Montana, thought over Yardley's second offer and decided to start a program for young anglers based on what she wrote. She would be the first in the pilot program.
They told her about a wood cabin they had begun erecting in anticipation of her and others' arrival. The bunkhouse would have a kitchenette, bathroom and shower. She would share the space with friends of the business and their adult children.
Though Yardley would reside at the company's central headquarters, PRG works with a dozen estancias and lodges throughout Argentina. In the mornings the guides arrive at the lodges, pick up the clients and head to various waters. Since Yardley would be at their home base, this would mean streams weaving through desert, mountains and valleys would surround her. A twenty-minute walk from the lodge would bring her to a rodeo maintained by gauchos.
Before opening PRG in 2000, third generation angler, and father of four, Rathie fished in Mongolia, the Bahamas and Chile. Today he resides full time in Argentine Patagonia.
Smith, a lifetime angler, husband and father of two children, is "One of the most well-known and most respected guides in all of the American West," states his bio. It continues: "If you drop his name in a fly shop or a fishing bar, most will know him or of his reputation that is larger than life."
Smith splits his time between Patagonia and Bozeman, Montana.
"This is our eighteenth season that we've had our business," Smith says. "But I've been coming down here 21 years."
Running a business in Patagonia is not easy for outsiders. Rathie and Smith bring in everything they need from up north, including flies. "The people here are so nice, but they are also laid back. That is one of the greatest and hardest things about being here," Smith says.
"There's not many places like it in the world," their website says of the fishing surrounding Trevelin. "Patagonia is what the west was like in the late 1800s. Expansive mountain ranges, untouched rivers and valleys where cowboys roamed on horseback."
Here, anglers bring in wild rainbows, hook jaw browns and brook trout. It's not uncommon to reel in 20-inch fish and fish up to 20 pounds. PRG has access to millions of acres of some of the best trout fishing in the world.
Yardley worked for Rathie and Smith from late November through early April, during the austral summer.
"She had a unique resume of outdoor stuff, with writing and blogging. Her resume was different than most people we get who just want to be fly fishing guides," Smith says. "For us, it was beneficial that she could to do things that can help our business. And she's very sweet."
She recalls of her time there: "Windy! When there wasn't wind there were bugs. The sun pounded you because the ozone is so thin down there. The intense sun bleached my hair. But there was never a complaint because the fishing made it all worth it."
Yardley fished from near-transparent blue lakes and eight-foot wide rivers. And just like in New Zealand, she'd find time to be alone, to simply bathe in her surroundings and enjoy the quiet stillness or loud, blowing gusts. She'd wander off into the wild, pull out her Vermont wool fly wallet, select a fly from her collection of 25, tie it to her tippet and cast out. She could clearly see the fish swimming in the water.
Time and time again she brought in fish so big they blew her mind. Since she grew up fishing little brooks in Vermont, she was used to bringing in fish the size of her pointer finger. The first fish she brought in in Patagonia was an XXL brook trout — before then she didn't know fish that big even existed. That's when it hit her, "They're the real deal down here!"
"The river's my oldest friend," she tells the Adventure Sports Network. "It takes you to the most beautiful places. That's why I'm so grateful that fly fishing has come into my life."

Was it justified for the U.S to drop the Atom bomb on Japan?
Extracts from this document...
Was it justified for the U.S to drop the Atom bomb on Japan? Historians have debated to wether the dropping of the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified. In this essay I will discuss the cause of the war breakout and wether it was morally, militarily or polically justified to use such a weapon. Japan had already conquered Manchuria and by 1941 Japan invaded deep into China. In 1941 Japan invaded Indo-China. Japan needed supplies of coal, oil, tin and other raw materials. America was very worried about Japanese advances in these areas. The Japanese army was virtually in control of China. Its leaders admired Dictators like Hitler. The USA had important trading links with China and could not afford to let Japan dominate the area. In 1941 America demanded that Japan withdraw from China and Indo-China, and stopped trading with Japan. This was particularly serious for Japan because it depended on America for 80% of its oil. However, Japan was not prepared to withdraw from China and Indo-China. On the 7th of December 1941 Japan launched an unprovoked surprise attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbour in Hawaii. America were so outraged from this attack they declared war on Japan the next day and Germany and Italy declared war on America three days later. A reason why the bomb was militarily justified was 'island hopping'. ...read more.
So perhaps the dropping of the bomb prevented a greater war with Russia, this meant the bomb was politically justified. The Japanese captured 14,000 P.O.W's in the first few months of the war and had completely disregarded the guidelines set by the Geneva convention in their treatment of the prisoners. POW's that were returned to America after the war averagely weighed less than 100 pounds and the conditions they had to live in were disgraceful. This kind of action towards POW's by the Japanese only gave America more of an insight in to how 'inhuman' they were and so the dropping of the bomb of these 'animals' who have killed allied and American soldiers is morally justified. Despite realising there military situation the Japanese showed no sign of giving up. In fact all the evidence indicates that they were preparing for a massive and stubborn defence of there islands. Also, the invasion of Japan would have had big effects of America's economy because it was feared an invasion of Japan may cost too much. If it is possible then the logical conclusion is to keep all your infantry in their barracks and annihilate your enemy 'en masse'. That way any war could be reduced to a day or two and allied casualties eliminated all together. Truman stated in his diary about the warning to be given ("we will have given them a chance") ...read more.
The Japanese were willing to accept nearly everything, accept a surrender that would include removing the Emperor as the seat of all power. When America dropped the first bomb they gave Japan no chance to surrender and proceeded to drop the second bomb. Japan would almost have certainly surrendered after assessing the damage of the first bomb, this proves to dropping of the bomb to be seriously morally unjustified because the Suzuki cabinet were seeking to surrender when it was dropped. Racism towards the Japanese was profound. Americans totally de-humanised them. This makes one wonder if America, under equivalent circumstances, would have been able to use the bomb on the Germans. The deliberate targeting of a civilian population is always a war crime. It is not permitted even if it is believed to bring victory nearer. If allied troops had systematically made their way through the streets of Hiroshima with flamethrowers and incinerated every man, woman and child in sight, who would attempt to justify such a war crime? But because the bomb makes a distance, literally, between cause and effect, agent and action, guilt is denied. If you have a terrible weapon in your hand, the morality of using it should demand that you not consider using it until you are in extremis. Was America in Extremis? In my opinion they were not. They had one the European war, were ahead of the game in men and material and Russia was ready to enter the war against Japan 1463 words Samuel Dean 11BH Mr Cleanthous ...read more.

Gavi [to 25 February 2017]
23 February 2017
Gavi seeks to support innovative solutions to improve vaccine delivery
To propose cutting edge technology that could save lives, apply to INFUSE 2017
Geneva, 23 February 2017 – To ensure vaccines reach all the world's children, Gavi is inviting entrepreneurs and businesses to identify innovations in vaccine delivery by applying to its INFUSE initiative.
With global immunisation coverage stalled at around 80% for several years and 19 million children missing out on a full course of basic vaccines, Gavi launched INFUSE – Innovation for Uptake, Scale and Equity in Immunisation – in 2016. This aims to find new thinking and technology that will help modernise often outdated vaccine delivery systems and then accelerate the expansion of these solutions.
"The speed with which the disease outbreaks disrupt the lives of children in the world's poorest countries is only getting faster. We need to keep up and find new innovative solutions to evolving challenges and gaps in immunisation coverage which affect the most vulnerable children", said Managing Director of resource mobilisation and private sector partnerships Marie-Ange Saraka-Yao.
"To create these solutions, we started INFUSE. This platform brings together global problem solvers who can find new ways to accelerate immunisation coverage and reduce inequities in access to vaccination for the world's poorest children."
Following last year's launch at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Gavi has already helped one of INFUSE's initial pacesetters, Nexleaf Analytics, forge a partnership with Google.org. Together these two companies are working to provide real-time data solutions to keep vaccines cold and safe in developing countries…

Worst Six Months for Economy since 2011
Grant Robertson
Finance Spokesperson
17 September 2015
Worst Six Months for Economy since 2011
Today's new GDP statistics show growth per capita has declined for two quarters in a row but the Government is still just watching from the sidelines, Labour's Finance spokesperson Grant Robertson says.
"This quarter GDP per capita is down by 0.03 per cent, following a 0.3 per cent decline the previous quarter. This is the worst six months for economic growth per capita in over four years.
"Economic growth of 0.4 per cent is below Treasury's Budget forecast of 0.7 per cent, and that of most market commentators. The rosy Budget forecasts are yet again failing to turn into reality.
"National is asleep at the wheel of the economy. When growth was good, unemployment remained high and wages stagnated. They did nothing to prepare the economy for the inevitable downturn. Now the economy is slowing down, they are doing nothing to get it back into gear.
"It's time for Bill English to stop his disappearing act and come up with measures to stimulate the economy. Bringing forward infrastructure projects and kicking off a house-building programme like Labour's KiwiBuild would be a good start.
"Unfortunately the Finance Minister doesn't think that's his job. He's leaving all the heavy lifting on the economy to the Reserve Bank Governor.
"The economy is looking more and more like the downside scenario Treasury raised in the Budget, meaning high unemployment and stagnating wages for years to come. The Government should be doing everything it can to avoid it. Instead they appear to be sleepwalking towards the downside," Grant Robertson says.

5 Top Tips for Budding Franchisees
Thursday 30th August 2018
Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this article, it does not provide complete coverage of the subjects referred to, and it is not a substitute for professional legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.
1. Make sure your contract reflects the deal.
Your contract should contain all the key details about your franchise. From the simple facts – the name – to the key points eg. your territory, fees etc. If something isn't covered it can be quite difficult (i.e costly) and in some cases, impossible to get a franchisor to honour that deal.
2. Get a fixed fee review and report from a Bfa affiliated lawyer. lawyers that specialise in franchising vetted by the British Franchise Association).
Your franchise contract is long and will be more favourable for the franchisor. It is key you understand what you are signing. Franchises are often granted for a minimum of 5 years and (unless you sell the business) you won't be able to get out of it early even if you don't like it/you cant make it pay.
3. Make sure you the own the contents of your website.
Social networking is a key part of any marketing strategy. This also applies to franchises. Most businesses engage contractors to design their websites. If you do this, legally although you are paying for the work, the designer owns the content. This can cause all sorts of problems particularly when you want to sell your business.
4. Have policies in place with staff.
As a franchisee if you have staff you are responsible for their actions. If staff use customer data improperly or abuse social networking sites to damage your brand not only can the franchisor terminate your contract but, you are often financially responsible for any damage caused.
5. Get advice before competing with your Franchisor.
Successful franchising is rewarding. At that stage you may be tempted to go it alone – set up your own business and divert your custom to it. Legally this could put you in hot water (even if your contract has ended) as most franchise contracts prevent you from doing this for a limited time (up to one year).

Bryzos is a new online marketplace that helps buyers and sellers reach sales but taking a closer look shows that they way more than just that. The unique aspect of Bryzos is that it help facilitates the sales of steel. It could be a steel pipe, tube, coil, or fittings. Bryzos offers a different range of steel specifications like API 5L. Bryzos was started by steel industry veterans who wanted to change the way steel was sold. The Bryzos option is different from Amazon and eBay in that the platform offers its buyers options. There are two different ways to buy such as search listings and Bid Blaster.
The Bid Blaster is an online negotiating system which was designed to be a system to show how steel should be sold forever. The Blaster will help create buyer confidence and drive the marketplace because steel is a live market. Listings tend to be outdated the moment they are posted. There are a couple steps required when using the Bryzos Bid Blaster such as entering your Bill of Material (BOM), entering details about the deal being made, and ending with submitting the BOM to the marketplace. Once this step is finished, endless amounts of suppliers will try to compete for your business. You will be able to receive quotas back from suppliers which will narrow down options for your needs. The buyer will be able to reject, counter, or accept offers from sellers as they please. One important feature of the Blaster is that the BOM has a time limit so the deal benefits the buyer and the seller. Bryzos is here to fit the needs of the buyer and seller so a deal can be taken place. Bryzos is transforming how steel pipe and flanges exchanges are taking place which benefits both sides of a consumer.

During the early morning hours of Thursday, January 29, 2009, Preoteasa Tatiana Prisacarou, fell asleep in the Lord. Having struggled for two months to recover from surgery, she was not able to continue fighting.
She was the wife of the late Very Rev. Basil Prisacarou, who fell asleep in the Lord on April 16, 2002 at the age of 91 after serving Christ with faithfulness, love, and dedication for 64 years as a priest in Romania and the United States.
Born Tatiana Elade on September 17, 1919 [September 4 OC] in Basarabia [Bessarabia], Romania, she was the first daughter of the Rev. Visarion and Preoteasa Vera. Her grandfather was also a priest. In 1937 she graduated from the Diocesan Girls High School in Chisinau [Kishinev], Romania. In 1938, she married young seminarian Basil Prisacarou, a graduate of the Theological Seminary in Chisinau who had just completed four years of additional theological studies in France and England. That same year he was ordained to the priesthood by His Eminence, Metropolitan Ephrem [Enacescu] in the Chisinau Cathedral.
In 1939, Tatiana gave birth to her son, Anatol. In the summer of 1940, she became a refugee with her family when the USSR invaded Bessarabia and forced the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of Romanians from their own land. Tatiana and her family narrowly escaped with their lives as the Soviet Army and communist sympathizers mercilessly attacked and killed Romanian forces and many civilian refugees.
In 1941, after the Axis forces freed Bessarabia from the Soviet occupation, Tatiana and her family returned to their homeland. In 1942, she gave birth to her second child, Margaret. In 1944, the Soviet Red Army again overran Bessarabia and forced the Prisacarou family to flee to Romania. They were evacuated via cattle train cars under appalling conditions in order to escape the atrocities perpetrated by the Soviets. Tatiana's grandfather, Father Visarion, narrowly escaped being killed by the Soviet bombing of civilians and was captured and imprisoned for one year by the communists. The family finally settled in Bucharest, where they lived for the next 38 years.
In 1982, with the help and sponsorship of the OCA, Preoteasa Tatiana and Father Basil escaped the communist persecution in Romania and immigrated to the United States with their son Anatol, joining their daughter Margaret and her son Bogdan Christian, who had escaped a few years earlier. While in America, Tatiana faithfully supported and helped Father Basil in several parish assignments, including Saints Cosmas and Damian, New York, NY; Saint Vladimir Church, Lopez, PA; Holy Cross Church, Washington DC; and St. John the Theologian Church, Shirley, NY.
In 2002, after the repose of Father Basil, the family established the "Father Basil Prisacarou Scholarship Fund" at Saint Tikhon's Seminary, South Canaan, PA, in memory of their beloved father and priest who, while an orphan and without any financial means of support, had been the beneficiary of merit scholarships which allowed him to attend seminary and theological school.
May Preoteasa Tatiana's memory be eternal!

From the USA Today bestselling author of the Hope River series comes a new contemporary midwife novel.
Say "goodbye" to your old life, and "hello" to the life you've been waiting for…
Midwife Clara Perry is accustomed to comforting her pregnant patients…calming fathers-to-be as they anxiously await the birth of their children…ensuring the babies she delivers come safely into the world.
But when Clara's life takes a nosedive, she realizes she hasn't been tending to her own needs and does something drastic: she runs away and starts over again in a place where no one knows her or the mess she's left behind in West Virginia. Heading to Sea Gull Island—a tiny, remote Canadian island—Clara is ready for anything. Well, almost. She left her passport back home, and the only way she can enter Canada is by hitching a ride on a snowmobile and illegally crossing the border.
Deciding to reinvent herself, Clara takes a new identity—Sara Livingston, a writer seeking solitude. But there's no avoiding the outside world. The residents are friendly, and draw "Sara" into their lives and confidences. She volunteers at the local medical clinic, using her midwifery skills, and forms a tentative relationship with a local police officer.
But what will happen if she lets down her guard and reveals the real reason why she left her old life? One lesson soon becomes clear: no matter how far you run, you can never really hide from your past.

Clara Perry is having a horrible year. First, a good friend commits suicide. Second, she finds out that her husband is cheating on her...again. And last, one of her midwifery patients dies in labor and Clara is wanted for questioning about medical negligence and possible manslaughter charges. Unable to cope with everything crashing down around her, Clara does the only thing she can think of and that's run. Not only does she run away from her husband and the medicolegal dilemmas facing her in West Virginia, she runs away from everything, taking all of the cash available in the bank, assuming a new identity, and leaves the country. She ends up on a small Canadian island off of Lake Erie across from Ohio. It is there that she finds the chance to find out what she wants from life and how she might be able to obtain it since she's living as not only a fugitive but also as an illegal immigrant. But how can she truly find herself if she's living a lie? Is it possible to run away from who we really are and build a new life on a shaky foundation?
I found The Runaway Midwife to be a fast-paced and entrancing read. Even though I was dealing with an increasingly severe migraine headache, I kept on reading simply because I had to know what happened next. (I did eventually wind up taking a break for a few hours to allow the pain medication to kick in, but I didn't want to set aside this story even for a cursed migraine.) I enjoyed reading about Clara/Sara's journey of self-discovery and the realization that the past might just come back to bite you when least expected. Ms. Harman incorporated so much more into this story than just run away from life's problems, there's an unsolved rape case on the island that has repercussions in the present, there's an initial divide between the life-long islanders and the so-called "hippies" that have moved in and are interested in living off the land, there's an environmental standoff when confronting development versus preservation, and then there's the socioeconomic adversity of a dwindling population and what can be done to maintain the island and the islander's lifestyles. This isn't just a story of running away from life's problems, it's also a story about new beginnings not just for Clara/Sara but for the island as well, and a story of hope. If you haven't read anything by Ms. Harman, you are sorely missing out. Her nonfiction, as well as her historical fiction books, are truly a delight to read (I'm not just saying that because she's a fellow West Virginian either). The Runaway Midwife is a recommended read by this blogger/reader and I hope that you'll enjoy it just as much as I did. Now, go out and get yourself a copy so you have something enjoyable to read this weekend. Just in case you couldn't tell, I really enjoyed reading The Runaway Midwife and I look forward to reading more from Ms. Harman in the future.

Recent budget cuts to MU Libraries decrease staff, materials
MU Libraries spokeswoman Shannon Cary: "The library has purchased automatic check-out machines to help deal with decreases in staff."
Sep. 27, 2016
The recent MU Libraries deficit of $1.2 million for the 2017 fiscal year will affect more than just operating hours. Ellis has had to cut back on employment positions and materials.
"As staff have left or retired, we have combined some positions or decided not to fill positions," MU Libraries spokeswoman Shannon Cary said. "We analyze all of our jobs and decide what tasks absolutely have to be done."
The libraries are using technology to offset fewer staff numbers and operating hours.
"The library has purchased automatic check-out machines to help deal with decreases in staff, and we have increased our chat reference service to almost 24 hours to make up for the cuts in our building hours," Cary said.
Most of the deficit represents the increased cost of books and journals over several years. It costs more each year to purchase the same amount of material, and the libraries are no longer able to come up with ways to cover these increases even with one-time funding, according to the library collections budget.
MU Libraries has tried to account for loss of money by fundraising through alumni donations, said Matthew Gaunt, MU Libraries director of advancement.
Last spring, students did not pass a library fee that would help fund library operations. If passed, the fee would have cost each student $5 per credit hour and would have increased by $2 each year until it would have reached $15 per credit hour in the year 2022, according to previous Maneater reporting.
"It's really disappointing that we could not reach out to the students," Gaunt said. "It's hard for students to understand that we are the only unit to not have a fee already, everything on campus has a fee, intramural sports have a fee. Even if you don't play sports, you still are paying that fee."
According to the library collections budget, the total monetary decrease from the 5 percent budget cut is $877,000.00. The additional deficit comes from the increasing costs of journals and other materials. The Libraries will address 70 percent of that budget cut by further reducing operational expenditures, including staffing. The other 30 percent, approximately $250,000, will be cut from the collections budget, based on expected revenue.
Cary said that with the budget cuts to staff members and librarians, it's more difficult to continue to provide all of the libraries' services.
"In 2001, we were at a high of employment with 208 employees, and last year we had 136 staff members," Gaunt said. "In just one year, we had to cut back on 18 positions."

Little-Known Things You Should Never Say to Someone Who Is Overweight
Sometimes we make hurtful comments to our friends without realizing it — even when it comes to dieting and weight. Being overweight increases a person's risk for multiple diseases and often negatively impacts their quality of life. However, though you might mean well, your words can do just as much damage.
Here's what you shouldn't say to anyone who is overweight — and what you can actually do instead to help.
'You're putting your health at risk …'
What you're assuming: Their doctor, mother, and closest friend hasn't already told them the same thing 400 times.
Being overweight is risky. The National Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute says being overweight or obese puts you at risk for metabolic syndrome, diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. But most people aren't unaware of the consequences of their weight. Reminding them they're at risk for disease doesn't usually help them change their minds, though. It's likely they've heard the same thing many times before, and have long since stopped listening.
'If you just ate right and worked out more …'
What you're assuming: Their eating/fitness habits are their only barriers to maintaining a healthy weight.
What someone eats and how active they are (or aren't) only partially contributes to their weight. Someone could have an invisible health condition, like PCOS or irritable bowel syndrome, that's making them gain weight uncontrollably. Also keep in mind that not everyone who eats healthy and exercises loses weight — these solutions might not work for your friend, family member, or the stranger next to you in line.
'Have you tried … ?'
What you're assuming: They haven't tried to change their behavior — or that they want to.
Chances are, yes — they have. And if they haven't, they probably have a reason for avoiding it. Many diet plans — especially fad diets — just don't work. Trying a new trend that's guaranteed to fail can be discouraging, especially if someone has tried many before your new suggestion. Plus, someone who is overweight might not be interested in losing weight, even if you think they should be.
'Are you sure you want to eat that?'
What you're assuming: They aren't aware the foods they're eating are unhealthy.
Most people aren't completely oblivious to the quality of their food. Pointing out others' "unhealthy" food choices doesn't make them any less likely to eat what makes them feel comfortable. You're likely hurting more than you're helping, and that's not OK. Judging someone else's food choices, especially when they're trying to eat healthier, can ruin their diet — and self-esteem. It's not your choice — it's theirs.
'You'd look so good if you lost a few pounds.'
What you're assuming: Being overweight defines a person's beauty or worth.
Yes, being overweight can be dangerous. No, it's not OK to ignore the health risks. But it's also unacceptable to criticize the way someone looks because of their weight, no matter how indirect. Eating disorder specialist, Jennifer Rollin, reminds us that you don't know how comments like these can impact a person psychologically — you don't know what's going on behind the scenes. Echoing the negative things a person might already be thinking about themselves doesn't encourage them to make healthy choices. It can make it even harder to do so.
'You just need willpower to get healthy.'
What you're assuming: Willpower is all a person needs to completely change their life.
According to the American Psychological Association, for many, willpower simply isn't enough to promote long-lasting behavior change. Beliefs and attitudes play major roles in adopting healthier habits, but there are external factors that can stand in the way. It can take a long time to develop self-control and change behaviors, and some people just can't do this without professional help.
Here's how you can actually help
If you genuinely want to support someone trying to lose weight, take on the role of a cheerleader, not a coach. WebMD suggests cheering them on when they're succeeding or feeling discouraged — not criticizing what they're doing wrong. It also helps to actively participate in their journey, offering to try new foods with them, head to the gym a few times a week, and actively listen — but never judge. Offer your support and make yourself available, but don't push them when they aren't ready for change.

How to Prepare Your Toddler for a New Baby
Hey, lovely mommy! Are you ready for another baby? What about your toddler? Is he/she ready? You can totally juggle (not literally) a newborn and a toddler. First off, make sure you prepare your toddler. Here's what you can do to prepare your toddler for a new baby:
Talk with your toddler about what newborn babies are like. Tell your toddlers that they, too, used to be babies and show them their baby photos. Tell them that babies mainly sleep, nurse and cry. Let them know that little babies need to be safely held because they're very delicate. Tell stories about how you took care of them when they were still a baby.
Educate them about nursing babies
Try to find opportunities for your toddlers to see you nursing your baby. It's usual for children to be curious when they see that you're breastfeeding the baby. Simply tell them that nursing is how you feed the baby. You may explain that mommies make milk for babies. Point out that the baby can't eat foods that little kids eat. So, the baby will have to be nursed.
Boost their Morale
Let your toddler know that he/she is going to be a big brother/sister. Discuss things that big boys/girls do for their little siblings. Carefully instruct them how they can help with the baby. Tell them to talk gently when the baby sleeps, sing to baby to make the baby sleep, and to help mommy get diapers, wipes, and water bottle. Don't forget to thank them and praise them for helping out in taking care of the baby.
It can be handy to have little kids around. You can ask them to fetch stuff for you. Even if your parents live next door, you can't have them all day at the house. So, appreciate your kids for the little help that they give.

How to Pay Medical Bills after an Accident, With or Without Health Insurance
You have options to get treatment and pay medical bills after an accident, even if you do not have health insurance. We have relationships with doctors throughout Duluth Georgia and the Atlanta area who will see you without health insurance. This is called treating on a lien. A lien is when a doctor treats you on an I.O.U. in exchange for you promising to pay them back when you settle your case.
If you have health insurance, then you will not need this service. But we can still assist you in coordinating doctors' appointments and referrals to specialists. We will also get all your medical records and bills from each doctor or facility that treated you so we can account for them in your claim or lawsuit. You have enough to worry about. Let Brauns Law, PC take care of it for you.
How to Pay for Doctors after a Car Accident
Below is a short list of the options you have to pay for your medical bills after your wreck.
- Lien – Many doctors will either directly or through a financing company treat you on an I.O.U. against your future settlement funds.
- Health Insurance – Health insurance can pay for treatment, but your insurance company may want to be reimbursed on the back end of your claim. Learn more about using health insurance to pay for personal injury treatments.
- Medical Payments Coverage (MedPay) – This is under your own auto insurance policy. We can analyze your policy to see if this is an option. Learn more about using MedPay to pay for your personal injuries.
- Worker's Compensation – You can have a personal injury claim arising out of the same work-related accident for which you are also filing a worker's compensation claim.
- Your own money – If you have the funds, you can even rely on your own money to pay for your treatments and then collect reimbursement in your settlement.
Do Not Delay Getting Medical Treatment after Your Accident
The biggest component of your personal injury claim is your medical treatment. It is extremely important you seek out prompt medical attention if you are hurt. Your physical well-being depends on it, as does your case's value.
Your pain and suffering, and the total value of your claim for that matter, hinges on the total amount of your medical bills and the type and quality of medical treatment you receive. The insurance company will use any delay or gap in treatment between the date of the accident and the time you see a doctor to argue you were not hurt. The insurer may claim that if you really were hurt you would not have waited to see a doctor.
Part of our job is to get you treatment fast and then make sure you quickly get referrals to specialists when appropriate. Call or contact us so that we can get started and help you get your life back: 404-348-0889.
What to Do When Getting Medical Treatment for Accident-Related Injuries
When you are getting medical treatment, it is important that you:
- Tell the doctors about ALL your injuries. You want to do everything possible to get all your injuries listed in the doctor's notes/records. If the injury is not in the records, it did not happen and the adjuster will not consider it. Or, if you forget and later remember to tell your doctor about an injury, the adjuster will say this is a gap in treatment or that you are trying to build a bigger claim (i.e. you are lying to add on more injuries to bolster your claim). The best thing to do is get all your injuries down in your record on the first visit or when you first begin to feel them.
- Ask about long-term effects of your injuries. If you have serious injuries (broken bones, joint injuries, herniated discs) you need to ask your doctor about the long term affects, such as arthritis or limited mobility as you age. You need to know what you are up against in the future.
You should not tell the doctor to write down everything. You just need to mention everything possible so that the doctor hears it and will hopefully note it in your chart. You never want to tell a doctor how to do his/her job or look like you are trying to control your treatment for purposes of claim building. Just tell the doctor everything and hope it makes its way into your records.
Medical records are the single biggest piece of evidence adjusters use to evaluate your pain and suffering. That is because they are an objective third party's notes. While it is absolutely imperative that you be truthful with your medical providers and provide them with any facts or information they ask for (so you get the appropriate care), you should remain cognizant that they could write down anything you say in your records (and use it against you later).
Get Professional Help While Seeking Medical Care after an Accident
We can help you work through your options to pay medical bills after your accident. There are pros and cons to each approach. Once we know the facts of your case and the options you have available, we can work together to make an informed decision on how to best pay for your medical treatment.
To reach a car accident attorney at Brauns Law, PC in Duluth Georgia, Georgia, call 404-348-0889. or contact us online to set up your consultation.
