Families help soldiers through post-traumatic stress
Associated Press
26 March 2006
Sgt. Milton Caples made it home to his wife and daughter after a year as a security convoy driver in
, but thoughts of suicide bombers and mortar attacks haunted him, nearly costing him his former life.
Driving on the rural roads near his home, he would flashback to the streets of Balad and Tikrit, speed up and try to outrun other drivers.
"I would know I was doing crazy stuff. It would seem like I was driving but I wasn't there. I was looking at myself doing stuff in a video game or something," he said. "In some cases, I'm glad the police didn't see me because they would have taken my license away."
He spent his nights doing security patrols of the family home - repeatedly checking to see if doors and windows were locked, if anyone was prowling around outside.
His anger ate away his relationship with his wife and daughter, who struggled to reach the fun-loving man they once knew.
Three years into the
war and almost five years after the invasion of
, American families like the Capleses are increasingly becoming part of its collateral damage. Learning from the mistakes of
, the military has long encouraged returning soldiers to seek counseling. Now its leaders are trying something different - reaching out to the soldiers' families.
Although treatment and medication have evolved since
, the warrior mentality still prevents most returning soldiers from getting the help they need, said Rick Weidman of Vietnam Veterans of America.
"Real men don't eat quiche and they don't have problems like this - hooah," he said, giving the shout soldiers make.
Milton Caples began working with a psychiatrist at
after his wife demanded he get help. He started taking antidepressants and the couple began marriage counseling.
The Naval hospital placed advertisements in civilian newspapers this fall to make families aware of its counseling programs. Navy hospitals are also reaching families through a series of online videos about post-traumatic stress syndrome.
In the videos, a Navy psychiatrist interviews a Marine medic, his family, a Marine commander and others about the problems of returning from combat.
The medic tells of gunbattles, his helpless attempt to save a child run over by a Humvee and the surprise of opening a body bag and realizing the body inside is a friend.
A lieutenant colonel encourages Marines to enter counseling. By seeking treatment Marines can avoid problems including domestic violence and DUIs, the videos say.
The videos were designed not for service members, but their families.
"The goal was to bring in the family in hopes that if the individual wouldn't come in on their own, we would reach them through the family. We made thousands of copies and distributed them to all kinds of places," said retired Navy Capt. Jennifer Morse, the
San Diego
psychiatrist featured on the videos. The Navy began producing the videos in 2004 and is releasing a re-edited version of the project in the coming months.
"The intent is to get people help, not to fix them over the Internet. (To tell them that) they shouldn't be ashamed of their feelings after they have served in these situations," said Bill Hendrix the Navy's Pentagon-based coordinator of the Lifelines video project.
The videos have been so successful that the Air Force and the Army are also using them to encourage families to seek counseling for veterans of both
, Hendrix said.
Weidman, of the Washington-based
veterans group, applauded the efforts to reach troops by reaching out to families.
"The military, under significant pressure, has made some significant efforts," he said.
Vietnam Veterans of America has long pushed the Department of Defense to develop such programs, he said.
But Capt. Jeffrey Weyeneth, a psychiatrist at
, estimates continued counseling programs still reach only 10 percent of troops returning from
"A lot of guys, they see it as a nick in their armor, 'If I want to do 20 (years) or more, I don't want to be seen as a nut case'. And confidentiality is difficult with the military because mental health can affect your ability to function in the military so confidentiality is not as absolute as it is in the civilian world," he said.
Returning soldiers who go without treatment often hide their stress from co-workers to avoid ruining their careers and instead take their problems out on their families, Weyeneth said.
"A lot of these guys come back from war but never get out of the combat, the enemy just changes. They direct their anger at other people," he said.
Many of the 1.28 million servicemen and women who have served in
since 2001 are getting at least some mental health treatment.
A Pentagon study released this year found that more than a third of
soldiers received psychological counseling soon after returning from
. The study, done by doctors at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, found that 35 percent of
veterans received mental health care during their first year home. In addition, 12 percent of the more than 222,000 returning Army soldiers and Marines in the study were diagnosed with a mental problem.
Milton Caples said his time at the Army's
, was life-altering.
"They got mortared 10 or 12 time a day and every time there was a mortar attack you'd have to get in the . . . bunkers. It was safer going out on the missions than it was living there. I was glad to go out because there were more people dying at Anaconda," he said.
His wife, Michelle, struggled to understand her husband when he returned home.
She changed her nursing shifts at an area hospital to avoid leaving him alone with their 14-year-old daughter because the father and daughter argued so often.
couldn't relax and that meant no one could relax," she said.
He credits counseling and medication with saving his marriage and helping him start to rebuild his life.
"If I hadn't gotten counseling and stuff I don't know where the hell I would have been," he said. "Things were a lot nicer before I left."
Report: Returning veterans find jobs hard to come by
26 March 2006
Associated Press Newswires
CHICAGO (AP) - Veterans returning from tours of duty overseas face a bleak job market at home, according to a published report.
Employment prospects are especially dismal for young veterans and for those searching in
, the Chicago Sun-Times reported in Sunday's editions.
"I've filled out dozens of applications," said
Blue Island
resident Angelina Summerfield, 28, who cannot find a job despite a resume that includes two tours in
as a Marine sergeant.
Nationally, the unemployment rate for vets between ages 20 and 24 was 16 percent in 2005, compared with 9 percent for non-veterans in the same age group, the Sun-Times reported. The overall unemployment rate last year was 5.1 percent.
Experts cite a variety of reasons for veterans' high unemployment.
Managers today are less likely to have personal connections to the military and don't seek soldiers out as job applicants, said Robert Bruno, a professor at the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The conflicts in
also have not boosted the
Michael McCoy, 24, said he had to fight a perceived stigma from potential employers who were worried about psychological problems like post-traumatic stress disorder.
"You've been to war, and they think you're a dangerous guy," said McCoy, who was diagnosed with PTSD after returning to
Chicago Heights
in April 2004. It took McCoy five months to find a part-time job as a package handler at United Parcel Service, at a pay rate of $8.50 an hour and without benefits.

Federal labor officials say 34 percent of unemployed veterans who asked for help from the Illinois Department of Employment Security found jobs last year, but state officials say new data boosts

veterans using GI Bill benefits has risen more than 53 percent, compared to 20 percent nationally, the Sun-Times reported.
"A lot of our younger veterans went into the military so they could get benefits to go to school," said Lane Knox, who heads

WFV, Ox Close Woods, 30th May 2017
Fourteen members explored Ox Close Woods and most also visited nearby local sites in East Keswick. The few spots of rain were easily ignored. Those travelling by minibus had clear sightings of Red Kites which compensated in part for, or possibly resulted in, the low bird count for the day. Soon after arrival Oyster Catchers were seen mobbing a Red Kite and John spotted a Yellowhammer. Bullfinch,Blackcap and Green Woodpecker were heard but not seen. Did the birds know that without Sue there was little chance of appearing in the gallery?
Botanically it was a different story. In view of the recent heavy rain we avoided the riverbank habitat yet over hundred species were recorded in flower or early stages of fruit formation. The less colourful species ignored by many, although not by Bees of any kind, boosted our list. Ten flowering grasses were seen including Wood Melick and Wood Millet. Wood sedge was abundant accompanied by some Glaucous sedge and both Great and Hairy Wood Rush were found. The seven ferns recorded included the less common Hard Shield Fern and Lady Fern.
An impressive example of regeneration was admired; twelve flourishing oak trees growing upright from a felled trunk.
Colour was provided by amongst others Yellow Pimpernel, Yellow Archangel and a few specimens of Goldilocks Buttercup. White was well represented by five of the Umbelliferae including Sanicle and Rough Chervil and by Ox-eye Daisy in the Reserve meadow. White flowers also predominated in the woodland shrubs with Spindle and Alder Buckthorn being ones we see less often. A patch of Common Spotted Orchid, growing in a prime position for trampling, took top place for pink but was challenged by the Dog Roses. Common Vetch, not as common as its name suggests,flourished in the meadow. The finest discovery was literally the last. Leaving the East Keswick Reserve several yet to open more fully spikes of Thistle Broomrape made the botanists' day.
Fungi sneaked into the exhibits; St. George's mushroom (a bit late for 23rd April) and Glistening Inkcap.
Insect life was represented by Speckled Wood and Large White butterflies and various moths including Green, Common and Silver Ground Carpets, Silver Y, Straw Dot and Nettle Tap. Brighter colour was provided by the brilliant green sheen of the male Banded Demoiselles and a selection of beetles.
Thanks to Lorna and Madeleine for their leadership and spotting prowess, to Margaret for giving some of us lifts to and from the reserve and to Robert for delivering and returning us safely again. A busy day for the plant enthusiasts but we will be ready for the next one!

This week the rains pelted the ballplayers as they tried to execute passes in the last third under trying conditions. Even before the rains cometh, coaching storms have been brewing in the E.P.L. Di Matteo has made an early exit from Chelsea as Chelsea made a pre-mature exit from the Championship League. Di Matteo won the Championship League last season but Abramovich spends his millions and demands immediate gratification. Rafael Benitez will now walk the Chelsea tightrope.
Chelsea vs Manchester City
Under difficult conditions Chelsea and Manchester City played to a deserving nil all draw. Both Chelsea and Manchester City pack potent offenses but the respective defensive unites closed down the passing lanes in the last third.
Manchester City was more fluid in their passing and Yaya Toure as usual was the general in mid-field. But his strikers could not create the necessary spaces to be effective.
Soccer must be admired not just for the offensive prowess of forwards but the defensive grit of central defenders and full backs. Chelsea's central defender, Kompany, has emerged as one of the top defenders in the E.P.L.
Swansea vs Liverpool
Brendan Rodgers is walking on thin ice at Liverpool but the management at Liverpool are not as trigger happy as Chelsea's Abramovich. Liverpool also played to a nil all draw against Swansea. Liverpool is still a work in progress and one wonders if the Liverpool squad as presently constituted can rise to the top of the heap in the E.P.L. There is Suarez and Sterling and Gerard but Liverpool suffers from a dearth of mid-field creativity.
Liverpool created most of the chances yet Swansea possessed the ball with greater ease but lacked finesse in the last third.
Arsenal vs Aston Villa
Arsene Wenger is not in danger of being fired but there is something rotten in the state of Denmark. Villa and Arsenal played to a scoreless draw. The new acquisitions at Arsenal have not demonstrated much offensive guile. At this rate, Arsenal will fall below the top four. They failed to score against a porous Aston Villa defense, a team in the regulation zone. Arsenal's finances are in fine shape and their financial success is a far cry from what is being accomplished by Wenger's ammunition-less Arsenal.
Manchester United vs Queens Park Rangers
The Queens Park Rangers' crew gave Mark Hughes a great deal of rope but he kept using it to hang himself and to trip up the team. Q.P.R. owners' cups eventually ran over and they have put Hughes out to pasture and brought in Tottenham's ex-boss, Harry Redknapp.
Unfortunately, Q.P.R. was up against the best finishing team in the League. Manchester United have parked Nani but they are firing on all cylinders with Van Persie, Rooney, Welbeck and Young. Their problem is what do they do with "Chicharito" Hernandez, the scoring machine. How do you not play Van Persie and Rooney?
Manchester United spanked Q.P.R. 3-1 to return to the top of the table. If they continue to score goals in bunches, then they will soon break away from their rivals in the E.P.L.

CHICAGO – Indiana's July trade that sent All-Star Paul George to Oklahoma City for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis looks pretty good for the Pacers at the moment.
Oladipo scored 25 points, and Indiana snapped a four-game losing streak with a 105-87 victory over the Bulls on Friday night.
"This was huge, just to kind of get our mojo back a little bit," Oladipo said.
The 25-year-old Oladipo was 11 of 20 from the field and finished with six assists, six rebounds and two steals, continuing his strong start.
After giving up an average of
115 points during its losing streak, Indiana held the Bulls to 39.8 percent shooting in one of its stingiest defensive performance of the season. Bojan Bogdanovic made six 3-pointers and scored 22 points for the Pacers, and Thaddeus Young finished with 13 points and eight rebounds.
Bobby Portis led the Bulls with
20 points and 11 rebounds in his second game of the season. Kris Dunn scored
16 points on 8-for-14 shooting, and rookie Lauri Markkanen had 12 points and
10 boards.
Portis had 21 points and 13 rebounds in Tuesday night's 119-114 loss at Toronto. He was suspended for the first eight games of the season after he punched teammate Nikola Mirotic during a preseason practice.
"I put a lot of work in over the summer," Portis said. "On my jump shot, my low post game and everything and feel like I've tuned everything to get it to be an NBA player. This is a big year for me."
Pacers: NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Indianapolis is in contention to host the All-Star game in 2021. Silver was in Chicago for Friday's announcement that the city will host the 2020 All-Star game.
Bulls: Robin Lopez followed his 10-for-11 showing in Toronto by missing his first six shots against the Pacers. He finished with three points on 1-of-7 shooting.
Silver said the Bulls handled Portis' suspension for injuring Mirotic "the right way," and the league did not need to step in as a result.
In a rare conversation with reporters after the All-Star game announcement, team president Michael Reinsdorf said he was happy with the direction of the Bulls' rebuild under coach Fred Hoiberg despite the team's 2-7 record coming into the day.
"So far we're happy," Reinsdorf said. "When Zach (LaVine) comes back, that's going to be a big indication. Kris just came back from an injury. We have to see, but right now we're happy. The team is playing hard. Fred's got them playing hard. It's not going unnoticed."
Pacers: Host Houston on Sunday.
Bulls: At San Antonio on Saturday.

United States District Court, D. Arizona
November 17, 2017
John H. Lindauer, et al., Plaintiffs,v.U.S. Bank NA, et al., Defendants.
is John H Lindauer, Trustee of The Jacqueline S. Lindauer
Trust. Defendants are the U.S. Bank National Association,
Trustee for Pass Through Certificates, Series 2007-2
("U.S. Bank") and Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC
("Ocwen"). Before the Court is Defendants'
Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint or,
in the Alternative, Motion to Transfer to the District of
Maryland. (Doc. 9.) The motion is fully briefed and neither
party requested oral argument. For the following reasons,
Defendant's motion is granted in part and this matter is
transferred to the District of Maryland.
case presents a dispute over the impending foreclosure of a
residential property owned by non-party Susan Lindauer and
located in Maryland ("the Property"). Lindauer
purchased the Property in 2001 and later received two loans
from Plaintiff, one for $65, 000 and another for $10, 000,
both of which were secured by deeds of trust encumbering the
Property.[1] (Doc. 8 ¶¶ 7, 9-10.) The deeds
of trust were recorded in the land records of Montgomery
County, Maryland. (¶ 10.)
2007, Lindauer refinanced her home through American Heritage,
which established a refinance loan escrow with Ecom Title
Agency ("Ecom"). (¶ 11.) Ecom contacted
Plaintiff and explained that, as part of the refinancing
process, his liens on the Property would be paid off and
released so that American Heritage could be the first
lienholder on the Property. (¶ 12.) Ecom told Plaintiff
that he would receive in the mail documents necessary to
release the deeds of trust, and that he should execute those
documents and send them back to Ecom along with payoff amount
for each of the loans. (¶¶ 14-16.) Plaintiff claims
that he signed documents releasing the deeds of trust in
February 2007 and returned them to Ecom along with the
requested payoff information, but never received payments
satisfying either loan. (¶¶ 18, 23.) Ecom
nonetheless recorded the deed of trust releases signed by
Plaintiff in the Montgomery County land records shortly after
the close of refinancing escrow. (¶ 19.)
Lindauer defaulted on her refinanced mortgage, U.S. Bank,
which is alleged to be the holder of the American Heritage
note and deed of trust, obtained a money judgment and an
order authorizing foreclosure of the Property. (¶ 25.)
Although Plaintiff's complaint fails to specify the
nature of his claim against Defendants, he complains that
U.S. Bank did not name him as a defendant in the foreclosure
case. (¶ 26.) Plaintiff claims that the deeds of trust
securing the loans he made to Lindauer remain valid liens on
the Property and are superior to the deed of trust securing
the refinance loan. (Id.)
have moved to dismiss Plaintiff's complaint or, in the
alternative, to transfer this case to the district of
Maryland. (Doc. 9.) Defendants argue that Plaintiff's
complaint should be dismissed because it was filed in an
improper venue, Plaintiff's claims are barred by the
statute of limitations, and Plaintiff failed to join a
necessary party (Ecom). In the alternative, Defendant argues
that this matter should be transferred to the District of
Maryland because it arises solely out of a dispute involving
real property located in Maryland.
Legal Standard
district court must dismiss or transfer a case that is
brought in the wrong district. 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a).
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b): A civil action may be
brought in-

all defendants are residents of the State in which the
district is located;
(2) a judicial district in which a substantial part of the
events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred, or a
substantial part of property that is the subject of the
action is situated; or
(3) if there is no district in which an action may otherwise
be brought as provided in this section, any judicial district
in which any defendant is subject to the court's personal
jurisdiction with respect to such action.
venue purposes, a corporation "shall be deemed to
reside, if a defendant, in any judicial district in which
such defendant is subject to the court's personal
jurisdiction with respect to the civil action in
question." 28 U.S.C. § 1391(c)(2).

I just read a thread on this forum, which was both entertaining (due to some witty comments from you lovely ladies) and frustrating, about how people can often tell infertile couples to 'relax' - in other words - attributing their not conceiving to being too stressed. Obviously this is well-meant but rather ridiculous and unimaginative advice.
I was just wondering what is the best, most encouraging, nicest thing someone has said to you while you have been struggling with infertility or IVF?

The self-made stuntman behind Jackass and Bad Grandpa Johnny Knoxville wants to bring us more gain from his pain.
In an interview with MTV at Sundance, the 43 year old outlined his plans for a new movie that fuses the ridiculously risky stunts of Jackass with the narrative structure of Bad Grandpa saying, "Bad Grandpa' was a narrative with stunts, and this is more of a narrative with pranks,". "It's probably going to hurt." He surmised.
The Knoxville, Tennessee born…Knoxville made it clear he would be doing the obscene stunts, and that there wouldn't be the hair and make-up breaks in filming like there was for his last outing in 2013.
Whatever you're up to try to be careful Johnny!
…we know you won't listen…

Lake Health Care Holds Free Health Fair in Mentor
On Sunday, October 16th, we started our day at a tabling for Margaret W. Wong and Associates at a free health fair put on by Lake Health at its Mentor Campus. According to what we were told by Ms. Melissa A. Loop, RN, who helped to organize the event, some two hundred people of all ethnicities were expected to attend this program that was funded by the American Cancer Society, Lake Health, the Lake Health Foundation, and the Cuyahoga County Board of Health.
Among the screenings that were offered were those for blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. There was also Reiki therapy, chair massages, an activity area for children and a free lunch.
We soon discovered that our "Margaret W. Wong and Associates" pens would be quite popular because people needed to fill out forms as they stood in line. A couple of people offered to give back our pens when they were done but we told them to go ahead and keep them-one never knows when a pen will come in handy and it might help them remember our office should they ever have to deal with a situation pertaining to immigration.
We stayed at the health fair for a couple of hours and then left to drive to Avon Lake to attend a fundraiser for our friend, U.S. Congressperson Marcy Kaptur at the Legacy Restaurant and Grille on Jaycox Avenue. All told, quite a few local democratic clubs joined forces to put on this event including those of Avon Lake, Lakewood, Rocky River, and Westlake.
When it became time for Congressperson Kaptur to make her remarks, she was introduced by Mayor Greg Zilka of Avon Lake who said that the U.S. Congressperson had done a great job for the Avon Lake community since they became part of her constituency in 2013 and had been doing a great job for the Toledo community for the past 32 years.
During the course of her talk, U.S. Congressperson Kaptur emphasized that the health of Lake Erie is very much in need of our attention. She said that phosphorus levels were too high and the three states surrounding the Lake and Canada need to get together and set some limits because a warmer lake produces algae that is a potential detriment to the health of many should its toxins get into our fresh water systems. She also talked about the risks caused by the Asian Carp to other species of fish in Lake Erie.
On the positive side, she was very happy about the prospects of LeedCo building research wind turbines in Lake Erie because wind is more and more becoming a viable energy source and, here in Northeast Ohio, we have the potential to be what the Saudi Arabia is to oil.
Among the other things that U.S. Congressperson Kaptur discussed were a steel residue clean-up project in Lorain, the heroin/opioid crisis, coastal tourism, and a creative way to deal with student loan debt.
As for the 2016 election, she said that she felt good about the chances of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton becoming the next President of the United States but did not like the ugliness that has surrounded the U.S. Presidential election as a whole.
We talked to her for a moment about immigration reform which we know that she supports. She said that she was heartened by recent meetings that have been taking place between Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Muslim community.
It was a beautiful fundraiser and Ms. Karen Connavino and Ms. Wendy Balodis did a fine job organizing it.
We got to meet several people who had friends who were having a tough time trying to immigrate to the United States from Great Britain and Ireland. We took the information and said that we would see what we could do to help them. We also talked to people who knew people that had immigrated to the United States from Israel and the Philippines with the help of Margaret W. Wong and Associates.
Above all, we were glad to be there for U.S. Congressperson Kaptur. Another thing that Mayor Zilka said while he was introducing her was that he had a friend who lived in Oberlin (that used to be part of her district until the last reapportionment) who kept telling him how good U.S. Congressperson Kaptur was but he didn't buy it 100% because he didn't believe that anyone could be that good. But after she became his U.S. Congressperson, Mayor Zilka said that he had to admit that "yes" she really is that good.

Ginger Cottage is perfect for that romantic getaway. The stunning location is very private with outstanding views and great staff. Everything in the cottage was in good working condition and it is very well maintained. If you want to explore the island, be prepared to rent a vehicle or pay expensive rates for taxis. Not included in the information about the cottage is the fact that there is no road to the property and you must cross the bay by ferry for the price of $2.00 USD per day per person. Also there is no phone at the property. We recommend that the owner have a cell phone available for guests and have the guests pay for the air time, especially if you will be booking tours, a taxi, renting a vehicle or just need directions. The property has no air conditioning but adequate fans to make it comfortable.

On entry to the cottage some might think it strange, huge bedroom, no kitchen in sight, microwave in dining area - but stay a day and you will find this cottage different but delightful. The sun room is an absolute gem, the two balconies are wonderful - and the birds do come and visit. The view is exquisite. The kitchne is very small but hey it is a vacation. The shortcomings of the cottage is for the meagre cost of $90 EC it would help if there were a phone in the cottage, hard to do anything without a phone. Second after a day outside it would be nice to come in and catch the BBC news - no television is a real drawback. No I am not inclined to spend my evenings at Doolittles (see restaurant reviews) and the lighting in the sun room is non-existant so after 6 p.m. there is no reading. The downside of this location is TRANSPORT - more on that later.
I have read that the south side of the bay is the preferential location, but the hills make that area prohibitive for anyone with leg and or back problems like me. We found the ferry service across the bay good and reasonably priced. The beach here is poor as is the water - this is really a ships channel but one can make this do if necessary. The restaurants include Doolittles, Chateau Mygo, JJ's, the Hurrican Hole, Rawlty's cafe, the Rainforest Hideaway and Julliette's. Those will be reviewed with the restaurants. One final mention should be made of the property manager at the Ginger Cottage - that would be George and he is a gem. I want to say more about transportation, and specifically that the lessor provides one way transportation from the airport to the Ginger cottage. That was certainly appreciated. However we did not appreciate the conduct of the taxi driver Ernest, after our initial trip with him to the cottage. I will say more about the island generally but I will not do that under the heading of accomodation.

It was a long held dream to visit the Carribean and after a stay in Ginger Cottage all those dreams were fufilled.
The pictures on the website go only a little way to show just what a fantastic setting the cottage is located in, the views from the cottage are stunning and we spent many hours watching life sail in and out of Marigot Bay, the sunsets are truly magnificent and the views from the cottage are wonderful.
The cottage was furnished very comfortably and with all the appliances you would need to have a enjoyable stay, ceiling fans and a floor fan helped keep things cool, with the added breezes allowed via the screens the heat was never a problem and slept well all the time we was there.
There are good selection of places to eat around Marigot Bay, all within very easy reach of the cottage, the Doolittle Rest/Bar is only a few minutes walk and very convinient for a meal or even a nightcap after a night out.
I cannot praise highly enough the staff connected with the property, George who looks after the cottage and was on hand to help with anything, Rose the charming housekeeper, did a graet job of cleaning the cottage, Ernest the taxi driver who collected us from the airport and we used to organise seeing some of the island, lovely people who enhanced our stay all that much more.
I am not one that usually wants to return to previous holiday destinations, too much in the world I want to see, but this is one place I would want to go back to and Ginger Cottage is where I would stay again.

In a world of economic darkness, Saskatchewan still manages to stand out from the crowd. With an increasingly diversified service-based economy, Saskatchewan has largely avoided the deathblows dealt to our neighbors to the west. Our premier continues to receive the highest approval ratings in the country, and our unemployment in January was at a very healthy 6.6 per cent, which is significantly below the national average. With various small businesses entering the marketplace, top-notch health care, public services, the second lowest debt to GDP in the country, and an AAA credit rating, it's clear that the current government has fulfilled and exceeded their obligations to the Saskatchewan taxpayer on every level. Meanwhile, the NDP party platform is as ridiculous as ever, and the Alberta NDP is offering all too many reminders of the bleak days of Saskatchewan's past. In short, the NDP has absolutely no hope of winning the upcoming 2016 election, and here's why.
The Albertan election of 2015, in my strong opinion, puts the final nail in the coffin of any dwindling hope of a Saskatchewan NDP victory in 2016. Thanks to an underperforming PC government and a near 50/50 vote split, the Alberta NDP strolled into power last May. Over the past eight months, Notley has seen Alberta's crippled economy worsen further than under Prentice's Conservatives. In typically mind-numbing NDP style, Notley decided that the obvious antidote to an underperforming economy was higher taxes/royalty rates and increasingly strict regulations. Flying directly in the face of any conventional economic logic, among Notley's first moves were to impose a carbon tax, increase petroleum royalties and to enforce unwanted and intrusive labour reform on Alberta's agriculture industry. With our own provincial elections fast approaching, the plight of our neighbors becomes increasingly relevant to Saskatchewan.
In Saskatchewan, the NDP is a total disaster. With so few big issues to criticize the Sask Party government over, the NDP is rolling in the mud, digging up the most mundane 'issues' in an attempt to conflate them into scandals. The GTH land issue is a prime example; the NDP and their buddies at the CBC have launched a totally one-sided media campaign against the sale of a 204-acre plot of land outside of Regina. As per usual, the CBC and the NDP cite only one source, in this case the third party appraisal of Peter Lawrek, who happens to have precisely the outlook that is most convenient to their story. They don't even print quotes of the minister in charge, Bill Boyd. The coverage of the 'scandal' is so one-sided, that Hon. Mr. Boyd is seriously considering legal action against the CBC. As far as the rest of the NDP's list of scandals and transgressions, they have launched a noble fight against the 'gravy plane,' called attention to 'cuts' (because heaven forbid, there be less government), among a host of never-ending and increasingly flimsy attack ads. Their campaign is mystifying, with $5.5 billion in additional spending promises, endless anecdotal "anger", and more typical NDP tax hike promises; because the NDP.
If I actually thought that the NDP had any chance of even holding a dwindling, flickering, lonely candle to the Sask Party in the coming election, they might really bother me. The good news is, plain and simply, they don't. Nor do the Saskatchewan Liberals (yes, they still exist), the Saskatchewan PC party (very much hip with the times), or any other fringe group trying to chip away at the efficient and accountable Brad Wall government. The really funny part about all of this is that is seems as if the NDP don't even think they will win themselves; they're just trying to be as annoying as possible as they lose. In case you haven't already figured out by now, I am predicting with 100 per cent certainty that the outcome of this provincial election will be a sweeping Sask Party majority. Frankly, that's how it should be. Saskatchewan is now more than ever the place to be; it seems that while the rest of the country plunges further into recession, Saskatchewan is immune from the tide. With a thriving arts and culture scene, world-class craft breweries, brand new restaurants, entertainment venues, bars, and everything in between, Saskatchewan is no longer a land (as my high school computer science teacher so eloquently noted) of 'Crown corporations and Greek restaurants.' Things are still going great here; and the Saskatchewan people are in no mood for change.

Inside were many bundles wrapped in pretty green tissue paper, along with a pattern to knit a leafy, lacy scarf called Branching out.
There was a pretty little tin covered with leaves, that held stitch markers, row counters and a padded grip for crochet hooks. I've only just recently started crocheting, and don't have many tools for it yet, so the padding will definitely come in handy. The stitch markers have pretty leaves on the, so Quietus is really rocking the nature theme with this kit. There's an exploding frog soap, which is peppermint soap on the outside (yum! so refreshing!) and a cherry bath bomb inside. How fun is that?
I also got a Windmill bag, which is a pattern I love. I've done it before for someone else, but somehow never got around to making one for myself. And now I don't have to!
I got some great yarn, one ball of SWTC Terra, that's 50/50 bamboo and cotton, and 2 balls of Patons Angora Bamboo, which is a blend of bamboo, angora and wool. To top all that off, I got some of my absolute favorite chocolate treats, Ghirardelli squares, and a bar of Lindt dark chocolate. I'm keeping that in the freezer so that I eat it nice and slowly. Quietus even remembered my kitties, and sent catnip mice, which got 2 enthusiastic paws up.

Clean Water
Soil is the #1 pollutant in Maine's lakes. Storm-water washes phosphorus-rich soil into lakes and ponds, too much phosphorus entering freshwater lakes and ponds over-feeds algae leading to a decrease in water clarity that is harmful to the lake's health and your property value.

text: HCM City says motorbike racing 'terrifying' The HCM City People's Council discussed measures to prevent illegal motorbike street racing at a meeting yesterday, March 1, including several recommended in three reports by the People's Committee. The reports suggest harsher penalties for eight dangerous stunts by street racers that terrify the public. They include riding without hands or with their feet, sitting on one side or lying on motorbikes, switching riders while travelling at speed, zigzagging, and doing wheelies. The committee has sought the council's approval for sending a petition to the National Assembly's Standing Committee and the Government for slapping harsher punishments on a trial basis. These include seizing motorbikes even if it is a racer's first offence, and a daily fine of VND500,000 for a motorbike seized by the police until its release. The report also recommends measures to reduce the number of private vehicles, such as increasing fees (for … [Read more...] about SOCIETY IN BRIEF 2/3

So you bought a new DSLR camera, you went out, took some pictures on auto, fancied yourself a photographer and played with the Manual settings, got excited, took some more pictures, went back in and plugged the thing into a USB socket. Now what? The Windows Photo Viewer program isn't something to write home about, so hopefully, you are at least a bit accustomed to Gimp. But using a professional photo editing program on dozens of photos is a bit silly. To apply some quick touch-ups and color correction before you decide which to keep and which to throw in the bin, you will need a more straightforward tool. JPGView is such a tool.
JPGView has the cleanest most unintrusive and aseptic interface ever. Nothing is bordering the screen, and if you dare to run it in fullscreen mode (default), you will probably get disoriented for a second by the full blackness of the background. The only controls are located on the bottom of the screen and only appear if you hover the mouse in their area. JPGView was made to maximize the picture viewing space.
You can use the Picture Enhancement Mode to apply five set of corrections automatically to any picture that you view. These include revisions to shadows, highlights, color, and contrast. You can also make manual modifications for Contrast, Brightness, Saturation and color balance between cyan vs. red, magenta vs. green, and yellow vs. blue.
The parameters that you set to a picture, JPEGView can store within a local database without overwriting or creating another file. The modifications you made are then linked to the image and will prop up whenever you view that image until you remove the database entry. In any case, saving a modified image will be under a changed filename by default such as to avoid overwriting by mistake. You can also edit the INI file to turn some parameters "on" by default.
With JPGView you can preview different images using the same set of parameters. This feature is useful if you intend to make a batch correction. On the other hand, JPGView doesn't have a batch editing scheme. However, using the keyboard controls (which you can learn by checking the contextual menu), you go through all your pictures in a reasonably comfortable way.
You can accommodate yourself to using JPGView in a few minutes. The light and unintrusive interface helps a lot in bringing the object matter, that is the photo, into focus. It is true that you only get the essential tools and that you need to edit an INI file for default settings, but if you're doing batch editing often enough you won't be bothered by this.

The World Bank and The International Monetary Fund (IMF)
The World Bank and The International Monetary Fund (IMF) were
established by Britain and the United States of America in July 1944. The aim of the two
institutions was to rebuild the world economy for the next 50 years. The International
Monetary Fund was established "to smooth world commerce by reducing foreign exchange
It helped by reserving funds and allowing countries with temporary financial difficulty to continue trading without interruption. The World Bank (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) was aimed to provide loans to developing countries for infrastructure projects such as roads and utilities.

The Case Against the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund
by Kevin Danahe
Paperback (1994)
The title says it all. This book suggested that both The World Bank and The
International Monetary Fund was not functioning efficiently or reaching their original
goals. This book give evidences of The World Bank "wasted" their resources;
namely, they spent the money but not helping the countries. Sometime the Bank even weaken
the countries' economy instead. They are "ill-suited", as the Finance Ministry
official of Japan expressed his disappiontment towards the institutions. This book argues
that both The World Bank and The International Monetary Fund are being used as a political
weapon. That is one of the reasons why the institutions are not functioning efficiently.
It has been more than 50 years since the institutions were established. The book suggested
that the institutions should change their money lending policies. Rather then forcing
countries to follow their "gospel" of generating income, they should trust the
countires themselves and let them do it their way, according to their local situations.
That is, to increase local self-reliance, increase investment in physical and social
infrastructure, as well as economic opportunities

The World Bank, the IMF, and the Developing World
by Doug Bandow, Ian Vasquez
Paperback (1994)
The World Bank, the IMF, and the Developing World
by Doug Bandow, Ian Vasquez
Hardcover (1994)
I found this to be a cogent analysis of the two organizations in question, particularly
in light of the recent turmoil they've caused in East Asia and Russia.
Through this book, we see that the IMF and the World Bank were making mischief abroad long before their more recent, more well publicized disasters. The word disaster is particularly appropriate in Indonesia; I hesitate to guess how many decades the country has been set back as a result of the IMF/World Bank meddling.
I'd like to see an updated version of the book, to take into account the more recent boondoggles. The sad thing is that they not only have wasted billions of dollars, but often have left the recipients worse off than they were to begin with. The administrators of the organizations, of course, are living high on the hog all the while (to any IMF/World Bank top dogs who've recently taken a vow of poverty, my apologies), even as they're effectively impoverishing millions.

A comprehensive and controversial study of the 60-billion-dollar-a-year world foreign-aid business, Lords of Poverty was a bestseller in hardcover and earned the 1990 H.L.

Politics & the Disaster Relief Industry in Africa
(African Issues)
by Alexander De Waal
Paperback (1998)
This is a managable text,even for the novice in African current afairs and is written by the co-director of the Africa Rights group,based in London. De Waal contends that the causes of famine are invariably political and avoidable.He is critical of the activities to date of many aid agencies and observes that they have in many cases paradoxically perpetuated the very crises they have been seeking to end. This work has raised many questions for me and is a starting point for further reading on the subject of how aid to developing countries can be best delivered. A Reviewer.

Elected the Bankers:
Surveillance and Control in World Economy
(Cornell Studies in Political Economy)
by Louis W. Pauly
Paperback (1998)
Pauly is to congratulated on this book. Returning to a period of international monetary
history that is often neglected or singularly explored only for its failings, the author
quite precisely re-examines the Interwar monetary system and the role of the League of
Nations in the "management" and "surveillance" of global financial
relations. In identifying the roots of the Bretton Woods System and the IMF's eventual
surveillance role in the League's operations, Pauly gives continuity and a measure of
depth to our own understandings of today's financial systems.
In addition, he explores the difficult question of the legitimacy of the state in an era when financial modernization and integration has humbled policymakers and ruined economies. Who Elected the Bankers? is an important book as we debate the future of our contemporary monetary system by calling our attention to the lessons of the League.

Global Trap:
Globalization and the Assault on Prosperity and Democarcy
by Hans-Peter Martin, Harald Schumann, Patrick Camiller
Paperback (1997)
A thought-provoking insight into the negative repercussions of the phenomenon of globalization, this book debunks quite a few taken-for-granted assumptions about the relationship between the globlization of financial markets and socio-economic welfare. The argument that the various forms that globalization is taking have destabilizing effects on social relationships runs throughout the book, somehow urging the reader thereby to pause at sseveral points in the reading process to re-examine his/her coneptions about globalization and economic growth. The convivial tone in which the the authors make their forceful pronouncements on the subject at hand is highly appreciated; one indeed feels that the authors sort of seek to establish some kind of complicity against the forces of control and domination (no wonder the book was reprinted nine times in Germany and was translated into many languages). It also does so by demystifying the ostensibly neutral developmental aims of corporate business. The socioeconomic havocs that have been wreaked in the name of globalization find ample room in this cogently argued book. A good reference book this is. M. Karimi, Ph.D

Ofsted chief inspector Chris Woodhead defended his controversial habit of commenting on education issues when he appeared before MPs this week.
In often heated exchanges with MPs, he told the House of Commons education select committee he would not be censored and would continue to speak out when he felt it necessary.
Mr Woodhead said Ofsted was accountable and joked that it was up to MPs to reform "this monster that Parliament has created" if they thought it necessary.
After Mr Woodhead clashed with Liberal Democrat MP Evan Harris, the committee chairman, Barry Sheerman, told Mr Woodhead that he was being offensive and demanded that he apologise.
Dr Harris had asked Mr Woodhead how it was possible to say that A levels had to get harder and at the same time to insist that they were were not too easy.
Mr Woodhead said: "I'm sorry if you find it too difficult to hold those two propositions in your head."
He attacked the government's approach to degrees as being too concerned with whether they led directly to jobs or not.

Benefits of Being a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
It is true for every job that you have to make most out of your working hours. The typical work routine of a licensed practical nurse (LPN) may leave you physically exhausted but it is clear that it delivers you the reward financially as well as emotionally.
So you have almost decided that you want to become a health care professional but the only obstacle in your path is not knowing which way to go. If you figure out who you want to become then your half journey is completed. The right decision of choosing a career path out of numerous possibilities comes from aligning your skills and interests.
Owing to the availability of many options such as the LPN, registered nurse (RN), certified nurse assistant (CNA) et cetera it is legitimate to get confused. These professions can be differentiated on the basis of various factors like education, salary, roles and responsibilities and career growth. You are reading this article most probably because you want to get facts and information in support of your decision of becoming an LPN. The article is written for clearing the air regarding what benefits to look for in the career of an LPN.
There can be a number of pros and cons linked to a profession and which one sheds less or more impact largely depends on the individual. The following points focus on the bright side of the profession of an LPN.
An LPN Spends Less Time in Educational Program than an RN:
The one prominent difference between an LPN and an RN results due to the different educational background. Going through the career path an aspiring LPN student spends just only one year studying a practical nursing program of one year in duration. While it takes 4 years for an aspiring RN to complete the professional nursing degree. Thus, you can add work experience in your resume very quickly. Most of the working LPNs tell that the less duration of the course inspired them to become an LPN.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Predicts Growth In Employment:
Wanting to help people in need on a daily basis is one thing and being sure of the growth in the career for the long term is another. Having a clear sight of how your future looks like help in diminishing anxiety. The LPN jobs are expected to grow by 16 percent till 2024 according to the report of the BLS. The strong reason behind the availability of opportunities at large is that people grow older with time. According to the BLS, the career of an LPN is evergreen for their increasing demand in residential care facilities as well as in environments specially designed for taking care of older patients.
As an LPN You Can Gain Balance Between Work and Life:
You can fulfill your need of giving attention to your family members, especially to your kids working in night shift. An LPN nurse can have a flexible work routine, enough to balance the responsibilities at workplace and home. With working a night shift you can look after your kids during the day. Also, your choice of the work-setting is completely your own. You can approach either hospital, physician's office or nursing homes to find employment. Simply put, the career of LPN offers you a great balance between work and life.
Variety is the Spice of Life:
The routine of an LPN is not repetitive, unlike the other jobs which have a fixed routine for the employees to follow. Some employees like a consistent change in their routine. Seeing the urgent requirements in a health-care setting an RN can't predecide a schedule for LPNs. One day as an LPN you will be doing the routine check up to take important signs and another day you will be using your skills and knowledge in an emergency situation. Given the condition, there are a variety of tasks that an LPN can carry out except for assessing the health of the patient.
Appreciation Can Make Your Day:
The patients and their families recognize the hard work of an LPN. Being busy entire day to take care of random patients is more rewarding when someone feels thankful for your kind work. It boosts the self-esteem when what you are doing is capable of saving lives of people you don't really know. The job of an LPN gives you a chance to form a selfless connection with strangers who eventually become an important part of your life. Therefore, you can always draw immense satisfaction at the end of the day.
Licensure Examination for the LPN Job is Relatively Easy:
Basically, it is due to the different educational path of both RN and LPN which separates them on the basis of salary, roles, and responsibilities. A typical path of an aspiring RN is to earn the bachelor of science in nursing or an associate degree in nursing which extends to 4 years. While there is nothing like for an aspiring LPN student who has to complete a year long accredited program which awards a certificate in practical nursing. After the completion of education, both of the professions require a licensure to practice in a medical setting. Owing to a different level of courses that an LPN and an RN student learn both of them sit for the different exams that they must pass. For an LPN student, the name of examination is known as NCLEX-PN (National Council Licensure Examination- Practical Nurse) and an RN student takes NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination- Registered Nurse). The latter one requires more critical thinking so it is comparatively tough. The licensure requirements vary by state.
Options for Further Studies are Open for an LPN:
It might be your practical approach if you are looking forward to gaining work experience first before starting to handle the responsibilities available at a higher level. Having worked for a couple of years an LPN may think of advancing the skills and knowledge so that it results in more satisfaction. The next step after becoming an LPN is the position of the RN. If you manage to complete the special education programs available for an LPN to pursue the role of an RN, eventually you will be increasing your salary.
As discussed earlier, there are always two sides of a coin. Now you must be wondering what are those aspects that make this career path challenging enough. There are some of the cons that are important enough for you to notice before making a decision which will impact the rest of your life.
All Day Long An LPN Needs To Be Physically Active:
The entire day of an LPN consists of moving, transporting and lifting patients. The motion takes the movement of the body parts. Thus an LPN is always under a risk of harboring injuries. A good stamina may prevent excessive tiredness arising due to standing for a long time. The job of an LPN is physically challenging because at the end of the day there might be issues with pain in joints and other parts of the body. The career counselors strongly advise the aspiring LPNs for doing stretching exercises and always keeping themselves fit.
Stress Can Either Make You or Break You:
A little bit of stress is good for motivation but a high surge of stress may conflict with your personal life. The hectic day of an LPN includes paying attention to patients to look after them. The job is very much linked to taking note of details and implementing a plan of action. There is no room for a silly error while dealing with details. A wrong information of the patient is not going to treat the disease with accuracy. Either you can take stress constructively or destructively depending on how you look at it. The constructive attitude is when you pass your entire day so fast and increase your confidence with becoming habitual to the process that you enjoy it. The destructive attitude is when the work pressure makes you tense which eventually may affect the accuracy of your work. At the end of the day either you feel gratitude or feel drained out. It will be better that you learn how to relieve stress so that it doesn't terrify you.
Salary of an LPN is Less than that of an RN:
Owing to spending relatively less time in medical school it is quite self-explanatory that the salary for the entry level job of an LPN has to be lower than that of an RN. Giving emphasis on figures, the annual salary of an RN on average is $68,450 according to the BLS, while an LPN on average draws $44,090 in a year. If you are looking forward to reducing the educational years then you have to compromise with the amount you can earn in a year. Though, it is valid that your salary can always increase with years of experience or who knows you will be thinking about becoming an RN after a couple of years.
The Risk of Getting Exposed to Fluids of Body:
It is obvious that in a hospital when you are dealing with patients you will often need to deal with fluids of the patient's body. Even if smelling the blood is problematic for you, you are always under a risk of in taking unwanted chemicals through your nose, eyes or mouth. In addition, you may inflict an injury from the needles of the injection. There are guidelines for safety and precautions that you will be taught so that you can prevent such incidents.
It is absolutely one of your concerns about where you see yourself in the future if you choose to become an LPN. There are the following points that should make clear the doubts regarding the future of LPNs.
Human Beings Grow Old:
According to studies, every day 10,000 people are turning 65 years old and this is valid until 2030. This data clearly indicates that there will be no pause in demand of the health care services that at least old age people need every now and then. The growth in the career of LPN is based on the opportunities available for them in the health care facilities. According to the BLS, there were 719,900 job holders in 2014. The data of statistics show that the employment opportunities are at large available in nursing and residential care facilities equating to 38%. In addition, it is 17% in hospitals, 13% in the office of physicians, 11% in home health care services and 7% in government.
Old LPN Population is Retiring:
One more fact, that supports the availability of opportunities in future is that most of the current LPNs are at the retiring phase of their life. It is fortunate enough that as soon as the old population retires there will be a great number of vacancies to hire young LPNs.
Educated Patients are Aware of the Health Problems:
Unlike several decades ago, now people are more aware of their health due to the emerging advances in the technology. The educated population can't possibly compromise when it comes to something related to their health. A need of addressing and knowing about the health issues lead them to relevant health care facility. This continuous presence of patients is a factor in the consistency of job opportunities that LPNs seek.
After a Couple of Years, You Can Become an RN:
Taking the career of LPN as the start of professional nursing you will always be able to upgrade your education down the road to become an RN if you want to. Any decision of the career should be your own as others might enjoy the outcome but you have to go through the process. For becoming an RN you need to take additional education which you may even pursue without leaving the job. There are options available for studying LPN to RN programs including online classes so that you can prepare for the NCLEX-RN. Also, there are some institutions that offer evening and or weekend classes.
We hope that you have got the answer for the question "why should I become an LPN?" It is easy to believe in the data extracted from research and facts. In less time you can achieve more being an LPN alongside managing your family. You may get a logical reason to pursue any field but the final decision should be based on whether you can do it or not. You know it better than anyone else as in the world. Remember that you should learn those skills and gain that knowledge which aligns with your interests and abilities. If it is the same with the choice of becoming an LPN then going ahead on this path can give you all the benefits mentioned in this article.

Book One -- The things that sustain and support the entire body, and what braces and attaches them all. [the bones and the ligaments that interconnect them] | Chapter 28 On the Ossicles Which Resemble a Sesame Seed
In the Hand
First, two ossicles (T in figs 1 and 2, ch. 25) 4 are located in the inner surface of the second joint of the thumb, where its first bone is articulated to the second; they are quite round and solid, not differing much in their shape from a grain of rice: they are a little shorter than an actual grain. But as a grain of rice appears depressed on one side, so also is a part of these ossicles depressed, slightly hollowed and coated with cartilage on that part where they are both attached to the first bone of the thumb. They lie on the inside of the head of the first bone [caput ossis metacarpalis I] near the root of the head where it first begins to be covered and smoothed with cartilage [cartilago articularis]; one ossicle occupies the outer side of the inner surface of the head, and the other the inner side of the same surface. Both allow the tendon [m. flexor pollicis longus, tendo] (h and then q in the 6th table of muscles) that flexes the third bone of the thumb to be borne through the interval by which they are separated from each other. Since these ossicles are strongly attached to that bone of the thumb, they are convex on the outside and resemble the part of a bone which puts forth ligaments and receives the insertion of tendons. In just this way two ossicles (V, V in fig. 1, ch. 25) are also found in the first internodes of the other fingers, 5 positioned in the same spot and smaller than the ossicles of the thumb the nearer you approach the little finger. The smallest and more or less cartilaginous ossicles are attached to the first joint of that finger [art. metacarpophalangealis V], or rather to the head of the metacarpal bone that supports the little finger. The remaining fingers are in an intermediate state. In old and (so to speak) bony people I have sometimes seen a single ossicle (corresponding to the one marked * in fig. 2, ch. 33) 6 located on the inner surface of the third joint of the thumb [art. interphalangealis pollicis], placed before the depression (L in fig 2, ch. 27) separating the heads of the second bone [phalanx proximalis] on its inner surface. Such an ossicle (X, X in fig. 1 ch. 25) has sometimes come to my attention in individual second and third finger joints, but so small as scarcely to equal the size of a millet seed. Unless you take the greatest care in cleaning bones, it may be discarded 7 (even as the ones in the first joints) along with the ligaments and never offer itself to view. An ossicle of noteworthy magnitude (N in figs. 1, 2, ch. 25) belonging to this type is generally observed where the metacarpal bone that supports the little finger is articulated to the eighth carpal bone [os hamatum]. This is how it is with the ossicles of the hand.
