1 Albany County Bar Association Snapshot of Accomplishments, The Albany County Bar Association (ACBA) is able to offer a variety of programs and services to our members and the community. As an accredited CLE provider, we provide lowcost, and free, CLE programs to our attorneys. We also offer free training to attorneys in exchange taking pro bono cases. We sponsor community events including an Annual Clothing Drive, Community Law Day, Senior Citizens Law Day and Bike Safety Day. The ACBA provides valuable information about community resources and attorney referrals through out Lawyer Referral Service. We receive over 7,500 calls per year for attorney referrals or information about resources. The ACBA also offers a Pro Bono Program for eligible individuals. The program provides additional training for attorneys while providing free legal services to low-income people. The ACBA is an active participant in the Third Judicial District Pro Bono Discussion Group. We have also partnered with this group to coordinate events for the National Pro Bono Recognition Week, which is held in October. Our current Pro Bono Program consists of the Pro Se Divorce Program, our Pro Bono Panel, the Albany Family Court Help Desk Program, and Attorney for the Day. The Albany County Bar Association has partnered with Albany Family Court and Albany Law School to provide the Help Desk Program, through which the Pro Bono Coordinator and law students sit at the Albany Family Help Desk to assist pro se litigants with petitions. Response from the Judges, Court personnel, and litigants, has been overwhelmingly positive. The Attorney for the Day Program (AftD) reflects a partnership between ACBA and the Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New York (LASNNY). Through this program, representatives from the ACBA and LASNNY work with volunteer attorneys, who provide limited representation to qualified tenants in their first appearance in an eviction proceeding. Participating attorneys were recruited through a CLE program on Eviction Proceedings, and agreed to take cases in Continued on last page This Provider At a Glance Population Served: General Low Income Population Area Served: 6-County Area in Eastern New York Total Funding: $111,278 Total IOLA Grant(s): $36,778 Staffing - Full Time Equivalents Total (Other) Staff: 1.00 Service Area: 6-County Area in Eastern New York Types of Services Provided Direct Civil Legal Representation Brief Services ) Extended Services * Hotlines and Other Phone-Based Services ) Community Legal Education * Pro Se Assistance * Support for Other Service Providers * Major Cases or Other Advocacy Projects ) The IOLA Grant(s) Pro Bono Program $36,778 See page 3 Albany County Bar Association - 1

Outcomes for Clients CBA assisted a legally blind gentleman A with a divorce. This required pre planned special accommodations, reading each document to him, assisting him in signature of documents and making an appointment with him and his assistant to explain the filing process with the assistant so she could help him manage his way through the clerk's office. There was a missing document when the client filed his papers and ACBA was able to satisfy the courts needs with a copy of the document. This resulted in a successful divorce. CBA assisted a client with a bankruptcy. A The client had Bi-Polar disease and unfortunately charged his way into unmanageable debt. Interestingly, one of the possible symptoms of someone with Bi-Polar disease is uncontrollable spending. An attorney, which had participated in the Bankruptcy Training offered by ACBA earlier that year, is representing this client in bankruptcy court. This case is currently unresolved but a good example of how the training offered by ACBA recruits Pro Bono attorneys that in turn help low income clients.

3 Other Services Hotlines and Other Telephone Based Legal Services The ACBA provides a Lawyer Referral Service in Albany County. While the attorneys on the referral list are primarily from Albany County, we get calls from all over New York State and the rest of the US also accepting international calls. The lawyers on our referral service agree to charge a reduced consultation fee of $25 for the first half hour of consultation with the client. During the grant period, this office gave out over 7,500 lawyer referrals. In addition we referred approximately 900 callers to different agencies like Legal Aid, The Legal Project, Disability Advocates, Albany Law School clinics, etc. ACBA also handles calls from people requesting services of a Pro Bono Attorney doing an initial intake on the phone. ACBA also accepts s from inquiring people for both attorney referrals and Pro Bono requests. Legal Services Other Than Direct Legal Representation Through our Family Court Help Desk we were able to assist approximately 3,500 pro se family court petitioners. Through the Senior Citizens Law Day we were able to advise approximately 1050 elderly persons about legal issues affecting their population. Through our Senior Celebration we were able to help educate 550 seniors on protecting themselves from predatory lending and identity theft. Through our training seminars we were able to provide 100 clients with pro bono representation. During the grant period, we again helped over 220 clients obtain their pro se divorces. This program has made a name for itself in our community and has expanded to reach more IOLA Project Grants Pro Bono Program IOLA Funding Amount: $36,778 The goal of the Albany County Bar Association's Pro Bono Program is to identify the needs of the indigent within our community and to establish new programs and clinics that address those needs. Through our own efforts and as part of the Third Judicial District Pro Bono Discussion group, we have been able to accomplish that goal thanks largely to IOLA funds. We have worked with The Legal Project, Albany Law School and the Empire Justice Center to develop new programs. Our current programs pertain to family law (including divorce), elder law, bankruptcy law, and landlord/tenant law. The Attorney for the Day (AftD) program places Pro Bono Attorneys in City Court to represent eligible clients that are being evicted from their homes. Albany Law School Students volunteer to assist the ACBS Pro Bono Coordinator and the AftD with the recruitment and the intake process. We hope to continue our already established programs and add more in the coming year, which would not be possible without the assistance of the IOLA grant. Number of People Benefited by Legal Services Other Than Direct Legal Representation Total: 6,400 People Community Legal Education: 2,450 People Pro Se Assistance: 3,950 People Albany County Bar Association - 3
4 Other Services, continued counties in the Capital Region. The judges in the area continue to be receptive to our program, which has therefore been able to help even more members of the community. The ACBA has undertaken a Diversity Intake Program to increase the number of Minority lawyers within the Capital District. Through our office, law firms in Albany hire an Intern from Albany Law School for a six-week period. The purpose of the Program is to enhance the likelihood that students of color will remain in the Albany area after Law School and create a more diverse legal community. The program has worked so well that several area firms have hired them as an attorney upon graduation. Our Young Lawyers Committee (YLC) which has grown impressively. The YLC has hosted social events during the grant period included a cocktail party and series of CLE seminars. The Young Lawyers have been active participants on Habitat for Humanity builds and well as Regional Food Bank food drives. Whenever possible we hold events in conjunction with other agencies. A good example is the Senior Citizens Law Day, which is co-sponsored with the Albany Law School and various service agencies that assist senior citizens. We also include agencies like the Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New York in training seminars for pro bono services. The clothing drive in 2010 helped collect over 650 bags of clothes for local homeless shelters. Many suits were collected for people reentering the workforce, as well as warm clothes, blankets, sweaters and socks for the cold winter months. Support for Other Service Providers We work closely with local Domestic Violence agencies in the Albany area. Equinox contacts ACBA to assist their clients with a divorce. Unity House residents have also come through our divorce program. Women from local Half Way Houses have been referred to and assisted by ACBA. We also have a close working relationship with Hospitality House, a local agency that assists chemically-dependant people to fight their addiction and re-enter society in a positive and meaningful way. Many of our pro bono attorneys also serve agencies like the Legal Project, Equinox, and Unity House, helping to close the gap in the need for legal services. In addition, our Family Court Help Desk has brought more awareness to the community about our Pro Se Divorce program and thereby expanded our clientele. Our Attorney for the Day Program assists the Tenants Association by providing Pro Bono Attorneys to tenants facing an eviction. We continue to increase the number of clients who benefit from our pro se divorce program. In the past we have trained other local Bar Associations to provide these invaluable clinics in their communities. ACBA has also recruited a process server that does Pro Se Divorce service for free.

5 Other Services, continued Pro Bono Private Attorney Involvement The Attorney for the Day program consists of volunteer attorneys providing assistance to tenants in their first appearance in an eviction proceeding. Some attorneys agree to further assist the tenant in subsequent court proceedings on a Pro Bono basis. Many attorneys volunteer year after year. When a call comes in for pro bono representation, the Executive Director or Pro Bono Coordinator sends an to specific groups of our members to request assistance. This has proven to be a very successful way of seeking and obtaining pro bono attorneys. The paralegals in our community are also very supportive of our programs and clinics. The Capital District Paralegal Association continues to assist lawyers, at no charge, when they take pro bono cases through our program. The attorneys and judges of the Albany County Bar Association support the training, mentor program, Help Desk, and clinics throughout the year. Pro Bono Statistics During , volunteer lawyers participating in our program achieved the following results: Number of cases completed: 150 Hours contributed: 722 Dollar value of services*: $108,300 *estimated at $150 per hour Snapshot of Accomplishments continued from page 1 exchange for the free CLE program. At the training in October 2010, over 25 attorneys were recruited. This program also involves Albany Law School students that have attended training on court and intake procedures. There, the students assist the ACBA and LASNNY representatives with completing intakes and assisting the representatives and attorneys as needed. Feedback has been extremely positive from the clients and the courts, saving the taxpayers money, as the mediation between the pro bono AftD and the paid landlord attorney resolve issues prior to appearing before the Bench, averting many low income clients from being evicted from their homes and potentially becoming homeless. On Community Law Day (2011), the ACBA co-sponsored an event with several legal service agencies and the Third Judicial District. Each agency, along with several volunteers, provided legal and referral information to community residents at a local mall. The Albany County Bar Association sponsors an Annual Law Day Run Against Domestic Violence - currently in its 17th year, this run raises over $20,000 for local domestic violence service agencies. The Annual Senior Citizens Law Day provides senior citizens and their caregivers with access to information on legal issues such as health care proxies, wills, and estate planning where attendees have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with attorneys, and complete intake applications for ACBA's Pro Bono Program. The ACBA participates in National Pro Bono Week providing legal information in several locations where legal service providers are available to distribute information and book individual attorney/client consultations. A central component of the ACBA's Pro Bono Program is our Pro Bono Panel, which provides free access to attorneys in the areas of Bankruptcy, Estate Planning, Eviction, Family, and Unemployment law. In 2010, approximately 120 attorneys had volunteered in at least one of the above areas. In 2011, we have already had two seminars, which resulted in the recruitment of more volunteer attorneys. One focused on representing claimants in unemployment hearings and the other provided information about representing victims of domestic violence in custody and eviction proceedings. If an attorney needs assistance, s/he can be partnered with a more experienced attorney through the ACBA's Mentor Program. Our Pro Se Divorce Program provides eligible clients with assistance in filing divorce papers. Clients meet one-on-one with the Pro Bono Coordinator who guides them through a computer program, which produces the forms necessary for a pro se divorce. We are also in the process of having an updated program written, so that we can maneuver through the forms easier, thus reducing the amount of time required for each appointment and allowing the Coordinator to assist more individuals as the number of requests is increasing daily. During the grant period we had over 220 people complete our divorce program. Albany County Bar Association - 5

I have coons under my roof, this is not to be confused with having bats in your belfry. I have this Coon that is bigger than my dog living in my ceiling. He romps around in there at all hours of the day and night. I have gotten rid of it once and it came back. Now I think the whole family is living up there. So my brother came over last night to try and scare it out of there. Some of you know him as Mountain Man. He shoots guns, arrows, all sorts of hunting stuff...so last night he went Coon hunting in my yard. Well PETA can sleep well tonight, the coon and all his friends are still up there having a party. Tomorrow I will call in the professional varmint trappers, then maybe we can sleep around here.
While the coon hunting was going on the people behind us were having a party, this was the third or maybe fourth night that they had a big fire going, loud music...all that. Well about 10pm, the entire New Smyrna Beach police deparment arrived, 3 cruisers, 2 SUV's, a veritable bevy of uniformed officers descended on the unsuspecting suspects. Of course we were peering through holes in our fence and witnessed them getting busted for underage drinking, some drugs and whatnot. It appears the parents of one of these future leaders live in Orlando and they were letting them use the house. Several other parents arrived to retrieve their wayward teens and a few older ones were taken away in handcuffs. I used this handy opportunity to give some real life scared straight to my preteen children.
All in all it was a busy weekend at the beach!
Enjoy the week!

Migrant arrivals at new record of 129,500 a year
Press Release – Statistics New Zealand
Migrant arrivals numbered 129,500 in the March 2017 year, a new annual record, Stats NZ said today. Migrant departures were 57,600 in the 12 months to March 2017. This led to a record annual net gain in migration of 71,900, which surpasses the previous …Migrant arrivals at new record of 129,500 a year
26 April 2017
Migrant arrivals numbered 129,500 in the March 2017 year, a new annual record, Stats NZ said today. Migrant departures were 57,600 in the 12 months to March 2017. This led to a record annual net gain in migration of 71,900, which surpasses the previous annual record net gain of 71,300 migrants in the February 2017 year.
Annual net migration has been steadily increasing since 2012. "This was mainly due to the rising number of migrant arrivals to New Zealand," population statistics senior manager Peter Dolan said. "Fewer migrant departures also contributed to the increase in net migration."
Almost three-quarters of all migrant arrivals in the past five years were citizens from other countries, led by United Kingdom (10 percent), India (10 percent), and China (9 percent). The remaining 26 percent of all migrant arrivals in the last five years were New Zealand citizens.
However, more New Zealand citizens leave the country each year than return as migrants (a net loss of 1,300 in the March 2017 year). That means the net migration of non-New Zealand citizens was about 73,200 in the March 2017 year.
Visa types contributing most to the migrant arrivals in the March 2017 year were:
• work visas (43,700 – up 5,100)
• New Zealand citizens (31,995 – up 1,300)
• student visas (23,900 – down 3,800)
• residence visas (16,800 – up 2,000).
Just over one in three migrant arrivals in the past 12 months came to New Zealand on a work visa.
Visitor arrivals continue at record levels in March year
More than 3.5 million visitors came to New Zealand in the March 2017 year, matching the annual record set in February this year. The March 2017 annual total was up 9 percent from the March 2016 year. However, the 343,800 visitors arriving in March 2017 were down 600 on March 2016.
"The majority of the visitor arrivals in March 2017 were from Australia (36 percent) followed by China (12 percent) and the United States of America (11 percent)", Mr Dolan said.
Kiwis take flight on record 2.68 million overseas trips
New Zealand residents took a record 2.68 million overseas trips in the March 2017 year, up 10 percent from the March 2016 year.
In March 2017, New Zealand residents left on 192,200 overseas trips, up 11 percent from March 2016.
Migrants or visitors?
International migration statistics rely on the information provided on passenger cards at the time of travel. The reported length of intended stay in New Zealand, or time away from New Zealand, determines whether the passenger is a visitor or a migrant.
The Kiwi factor in record net migration (published July 2016) describes how New Zealand citizens contribute to recent high net gains in total migration.

Now I'm a mum, it's great to see so many strong role models for my little cherub to aspire to in the future. In my day it was huge news when Sally Gunnell picked up gold for the 400m hurdles at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. But now there are so many more female athletes to be proud of, we're almost spoiled for choice – and I'm certainly not complaining.
Dame Kelly Holmes' double gold in Athens 2004 was remarkable but now it begs belief whether every single female athlete who won a medal at Beijing will be made a Dame, there were so many. Remember the 'three birds in a boat', Rebecca Romero and Nicole Cooke? I struggled to recall their names – but that doesn't mean their success is any less than say, Rebecca Adlington or Victoria Pendleton.
So it's no wonder articles are popping up like today's 'Win the medals or else, warns Britain warns top athletes', in the Saturday Times, saying athletes are under more pressure than ever to perform at London 2012. It's a real shame to think that sports won't get funding if London's athletes don't bring home the medals and the 'kudos' effectively. What happened to the saying 'it's the taking part that counts' (and other well verses phrases we tell our children)? We've become such a results driven world and this is the side of the fairy tale that won't help the girls and boys of tomorrow. Take away the funding and you take away the possibility of dreams.

Teen Years Anxiety - by Daniel L. Price, Esq.
It's 2016!!! Hopefully your holiday hangovers are done. Also, I hope, that none of you were pulled over by the police while you were enjoying your merriment. If you were, you may understand the importance of standing up for your freedoms. The alternative is to allow what amounts to a bunch of teenagers to keep you from exercising your right to self-determination.
That is, since it is in the teen years of the 21st century, I think it good to point out that the government actors in our state seem to be acting like teenagers. And of course, like teenagers, when faced with a situation that is unfamiliar, government actors tend to become anxious and lash out. That's exactly what happened since the people of the State of Michigan recognized that marijuana has far reaching medical benefits and voted to legalize marijuana for medical use. Well, the adults thought they were voting to legalize medical marijuana use. Problem is, the government actors decided to pronounce that medical marijuana use is "not legal" - it's just protected.
Those government actors were faced with an unfamiliar situation, they never believed the people would see through the propaganda they laid out for so many decades. They never thought people would use their own minds and determine what the government actors were saying was a bunch of…well…let's just say…HORSE HOCKEY!
Like teenagers, those government actors rebelled and lashed out. They rebelled and lashed out in the only way they know how. They disregard our right to determine our own lives, yes our very right to self-determination. Medical marijuana patients, and caregivers alike are still being persecuted and prosecuted. You are not legal, you are protected. You are only protected if you have just so many plants, and so much usable marijuana. Problem is, if you have 12 plants per patient, no matter how many patients you have, you can be charged with and found guilty of one or more felonies. Also, if you are a patient, and you have 12 plants, you can be charged with and be found guilty of one or more felonies. Not only this, but you can lose your home, your vehicles, your savings account, and all of your other property. And in some cases, people are losing their children, even though they have the medical marijuana cards that the State itself issued.
Yes, this all sounds quite contradictory. But then again, teenagers tend to be contradictory. They do not yet have a fully developed intellect or fully developed emotional states. Here are some contradictions for you to ponder. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC"), in 2011 1.4 million ER visits were prescription drug related. Further, in 2013, there were nearly 2 million Americans, 12 years and older, who either abused or were addicted to prescription opioid painkiller medications. What is worse, in 2013, 22,767 Americans died of prescription drug overdoses. It is estimated that 44 people die every day in the US, from prescription drug overdose. (All of these statistics were noted by the CDC at their website at, www.cdc.gov.)
Yet, it is not prescription opioids that the local and state police and narcotics teams in Michigan are raiding. It is not the offices of drug manufacturing companies that are raided. It is not the CEO's of pharmaceutical companies and hospitals who are losing their homes, property and their children. It is those of you who choose to ingest marijuana in order to avoid being one of the 44 people who die every day of prescription drug overdose in the US.
So how do we change this problem? Well, if you ever had a teenage child, you know exactly what to do. First, you explain the problem. Second, you tell the child that you will no longer stand for that kind of behavior. Third, you set boundaries of acceptable behaviors. Lastly, you must be consistent in handing out the punishment for that type of behavior.
In the context of government actors, you tell them that the problem is that they are denying you the right to self-determination. Then you tell them that you demand the freedom to determine your own life, and will accept nothing less. Set the boundaries by stating that any legislation that restricts your right to self-determination will not be accepted. Then hand out the punishment; start voting for people who express the willingness to fight for freedom, and not to give you something that is taken from others. And if you do not hear politicians expressing their desire to fight for your freedom, then run for office by promising, and then following through with fighting for freedom, everyone's freedom.
This is the only way to handle teenagers. It is the only way to bring our state and our country out of the anxiety filled teen years and into freedom.
Hey, that's my 2 cents. Take it or leave it. But by all means, till next month, keep rolling on.

It was late at night, almost a week ago, when I received a frightening phone call from a friend. This friend was in a full blown panic attack, sitting in a car, at a strip mall, which was nowhere near his home. I listened to his ramblings about his blood pressure and heart rates, that were skyrocketing as every second passed. He explained this was his 2nd panic attack that day, and his third in the last two days. This one however, had him in a full breakdown mode. He was crying and getting angry. I could feel the frustration on the other side of the phone. Whatever anxiety about life and terrible thoughts he had about himself, they were not hiding anymore, they bubbled up, front and center.
He didn't want to call the ambulance because he was embarrassed that his life had come to this. I told him that there was no shame in calling, and begged him do so. After twenty minutes of listening, I finally got him to call an ambulance. When they arrived, he told me he had to go, but he'd call me when he was at the hospital.
It was a long wait, but eventually I got a phone call and that he'd left the hospital and was taking a cab back to his car. They told him he had a psychotic episode and prescribed him Adavan to help him sleep. He was distraught with the thought that he had a mental breakdown. It's not an easy thing to wrap your head around. For those that haven't had it happen to themselves, or to a loved one, there's a stigma that's attached to it, that's not fair. If you fight it, and don't embrace it, it can only make matters worse.
I felt my job was to immediately have him feel comfortable with what just happened. I didn't want him going home still feeling shame. I asked him many questions about his life, diet and drug use. When it came to marijuana, I asked him if he began using a different strain than he previously used before, to which he replied, yes.
Here was a man, who used marijuana to help his anxiety, and it only made it worse. Instead of getting his marijuana from his regular person, whom he trusted, or at the dispensary, he used a different person. He was out of town, and this city he was now in, didn't have any dispensaries. For all three of his panic attacks, he ingested the marijuana about 30 minutes prior to each episode. Now knowing this information, he was able to relax a bit more and I was too. First we talked about his anxiety, and said that even though the bad strain of marijuana brought on your panic attacks, you still have anxiety surrounding many issues in your life. I implored him to not keep these on the back burner any longer, and that he should visit a mental health professional to deal with those issues. After we discussed that, as it was important for me to get him to deal with himself, we then went back to discussing marijuana and medical marijuana specifically.
While on the phone, I began searching on the internet for articles on Medical Marijuana and Anxiety and found a great site called LEAFLY. You were able to go through every strain in existence, and each had rankings for different effects, based on user reviews. It had positives and negatives for every strain. From help with anxiety, to causing you paranoia. From helping with headaches, to causing dizziness. Everything about this site was impressive and all medical marijuana companies and dispensaries should take note of them. The article that I focused on was in their Cannabis 101 section, called What are the side effects of high THC cannabis? My friend and I discussed what I read, and how taking the wrong type of marijuana multiplied his anxiety and caused the temporary psychosis. He still wanted to use marijuana after the fact, as he felt, the right one helps with his anxiety. So I perused the website and found the right type for him, got him the name, and he went to his local dispensary and picked it up the next day. So far, all is well.
This event was a very scary reminder that our brains are very fragile things. In this case, it was a person with low self esteem that began hurting himself with his own words. He began shaming himself and it broke my heart. It's a pain he lives with everyday. It's a pain that many people with mental health issues endure every day, if they don't work with their issues and try to fight against them. Let this also be a reminder to notice what products you're ingesting into your body and the side effects, good and bad that you may have. Especially, if it's a mind altering substance such as medical marijuana.
Our book recommendation for this post is You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay, of Hay House Radio. It's a tremendous book for those that speak to themselves very negatively. To get it, click on the title You Can Heal Your Life.

Leah Gibbs
A volunteer placement at a hospital led Leah to study for a degree in sports therapy and rehabilitation.
BSc (Hons) Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation
I would highly recommend this degree. I am in my third year and this degree has helped me to achieve personal and professional development.
Why did you choose Teesside?
I've always been encouraged to pursue higher education. It seemed like the logical next step to develop my knowledge and personal and professional skills.
I heard about Teesside University from UCAS and researched it through Unistats and found that student satisfaction and student experience were both high. The facilities at Teesside, such as the hydrotherapy pool, were also a big influence on my choice.
Why did you choose to study that particular subject?
I completed a volunteer placement at a hospital, shadowing a team of physiotherapists. After this placement I applied for a physiotherapy degree, but unfortunately due to my lack of training and background knowledge, I wasn't successful. I looked into similar pathways and found a sports therapy and rehabilitation degree at Teesside University which would give me knowledge in similar areas to enable me to pursue a career in physiotherapy.
What do you think about the campus?
I feel like I've utilised all the services on campus including careers, Students' Union and The Library. I feel like all these services have helped me with my personal and professional development. I also live in University accommodation, the location is ideal - close to all amenities that I need.
What about your social life?
I was in the same position as a lot of first years away from home and I met new friends and socialised, got familiar with the campus and got involved with the Students' Union activities. Throughout my second and third years I feel settled and I'm focusing on my studies.
Are you a member of any clubs or societies or involved in any volunteering programmes?
I've been training with Teesside University's Taekwon-Do Club for over a year and am now on the committee as the Vice-Chair Finance. I am currently a volunteer at Middlesbrough College Learning Disability Gymnastics Club providing support to the athletes and coaches every Friday for almost two years.
I travelled to India with three other students for six weeks during the summer of 2017, shadowing physiotherapists in hospitals which Teesside University has international links with. I gained valuable insights into the cultural differences within the physiotherapy profession and how practice is applied within a clinical setting.
Would you recommend Teesside?
I would highly recommend this degree. I am in my third year and this degree has helped me to achieve personal and professional development. Lecturers are always willing to help with my development which enhances my student experience.
The modules are all valuable, but the clinical reasoning module in the third year has helped me to evaluate and enhance my skills. This degree has helped me realise that I am equipped to apply for postgraduate study to develop my skill level and employability options.

This case study details how a successful publishing company adapted its product to suit the extraordinary growth in demand for digital content.
United Kingdom (PRWEB) October 16, 2013
The company selected MPP Global Solutions to implement the payment system and it has organically moved many of the current client base over to the new customer relationship management program.
MPP has been involved in a successful partnership with Adobe for a long time and the popular Digital Publishing Suite was used to create the sleek looking interface of Mail Plus for iPad. Mail Plus is also available on a range of devices including other tablets, PC's and smartphones.
A new case study documents how MPP has rolled out a new system for dmg media and how it is helping the firm boost its digital revenues.
Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer at MPP, said: "This case study details how a successful publishing company adapted its product to suit the extraordinary growth in demand for digital content.
"MPP is proud to provide dmg media with its online payment platform."
Consumers are increasingly reading news content whenever and however they want to, meaning publishers are quickly moving their product online to offer readers instant access through their computers or mobile devices.
As print media wanes, many companies are turning to the internet to boost profits and improve their overall service. The number of online readers is only going to grow as smartphone and tablet sales carry on rising at an incredible rate.
Indeed, Mail Plus was selling almost 15,000 paid for copies a day in September, jumping from just under 10,000 in April 2013, according to the ABC.
With a large number of consumers purchasing a tablet and the internet infrastructure consistently improving, especially with 4G technology, people are able to tailor how they view content.
Mail Online has already proven popular all over the world and dmg media quickly recognized the need to provide an additional platform, designed for mobile device users. This became Mail Plus and the case study documents how dmg media, MPP and Adobe overcame the challenges to create the best possible mobile experience.

Shoot-on-sight order for leopard that killed a 7-year-old in Pauri
A leopard that mauled to death a seven-year-old girl near Bairkhal village in Pauri on Monday evening has been declared a man-eater. It is the second leopard kill in the area in a week.dehradun Updated: Nov 25, 2015 16:13 IST
A leopard that mauled to death a seven-year-old girl near Bairkhal village in Pauri on Monday evening has been declared a man-eater. It is the second leopard kill in the area in a week.
The leopard grabbed in its jaws the girl who was walking back to the village holding her grandmother's hands, and ran into the thick bushes. The father of the girl, identified as Santoshi, was also with them when the leopard pounced on them.
People from nearby Bairkhal village joined them to look for the child and found almost half-eaten body in the bushes late night.
Cattle and humans are an easy hunt for leopards facing dwindling prey base in forests. The state has one of the highest leopard population in the country at 2,335, and the big cats have already killed at least 14 people this year. There is no data available on the number of cattle killed.
A forest department that reached the spot on Tuesday morning faced the wrath of villagers who were shocked by the second kill. Jagmohan Singh, the village head, said that on November 15 a leopard lifted a four-year-old boy from the Van Gujjar, about 1 km, from the spot.
The villagers did not allow the body of Santoshi to be taken for post-mortem and insisted that the post-mortem be done at the spot itself. They also demanded that the leopard should be declared a man-eater and shot dead.
"The demands of the villagers have been acceded and soon a hunter would be deputed to kill the leopard," said Nitish Mani Tripathi, the divisional forest officer (Lansdown forest division). Tripathi said the cages were being installed at strategic places.

With Brexit on the horizon, the complexity of what this will mean for the UK healthcare industry is starting to be discussed. The potential consequences of Brexit could have far reaching effects across many areas including patient care, staffing, medical research, regulation, health policies and access of treatment abroad.
Although there are still many unanswered questions, healthcare professionals are keen to understand what Brexit may mean for them – and healthcare marketers are watching closely to help inform their future communications efforts.
Having looked at leading healthcare authorities' views on how healthcare may change post-Brexit, we have identified 5 clear trends: Read on for Media Safari's 5 top tips to ensure your communications efforts are in line with new healthcare policies and best practices set out in the mandate.
NHS spending may decrease over the next 5 years
Shortly after the referendum, Forbes highlighted the broken promise made by the Leave campaigners concerning the reallocation of £350 million to go towards NHS funding. It states that senior party leadership is now backtracking from this commitment, and the NHS continues to struggle with budgetary pressures. The Economic Intelligence Unit predicts that by 2020, the NHS will spend £135 less per head if the UK leaves the EU. With rising healthcare costs, it believes this will most certainly result in lower quality of care provision.The public will expect a cash injection into the NHS
Agreeing with this stance is the HSJ, which believes that following the false promises, the public now expects the NHS to receive a meaningful financial injection. Whereas in reality, the uncertain economic climate makes that even more unlikely than it was previously. It states that the best working assumption is that the NHS's cash envelope will stay roughly as planned for the next two to three years
A loss of migrant workers could lead to staffing shortfalls
Looking at staffing issues within the NHS, The King's Fund says that without the EU's policy of freedom of movement and mutual recognition of professional qualifications within the EU, the NHS' ability to fill vacancies will be affected. The healthcare think tank believes that given the current staffing shortfalls being experienced in both the health and social care sectors, the government must clarify its intentions on the ability of EU nationals to work in health and social care roles in the UK.
Funding for medical research may suffer
Looking at the medical research element, Jeremy Farrar, Head of the Wellcome Trust biomedical research foundation in London stated that the EU funding was a significant part of UK science funding and that this will lead to a dramatic drop in research funding, which will not be made up by charities or national government. He said, "The UK's vote to leave the European Union is understandably causing considerable uncertainty for British science and research."
The UK may have more freedom to discover new ways of working
Although proactively backing the Remain campaign, the BMJ has found some positives in the new EU relations; it states that the UK can now remove itself from the worst excesses of the European Working Time Directive which drove the UK's doctors into shift working. Also by being released from the directive's strictures, it believes the UK can develop new ways of working and training.
Whatever the UK's relationship ultimately is with the EU, patient care, funding, R&D and other key drivers will still be high on the NHS agenda. Simon Stevens, NHS England Chief Executive has confirmed the NHS will press on with its work, regardless of the post-referendum political disruption as both Leave and Remain campaigned for a strong and better funded NHS. Ultimately, NHS England's immediate priorities remain "completely unchanged" and they will be using the coming months to get on with what the NHS was set up to deliver, a great health service for patients and the public.
We stay tuned for more…..

I can't believe I have to write this. More updates have shipped. Job security, dear reader, job security for the dev blogger.
Seriously, Tyler and the dev team have been working tirelessly to bring you improvements, updates, and slick new features. Want to know what's in this batch – read on!!
1st up – Never Lose Your Spot Again: Are you worried about users landing on a page of properties, clicking the first listing, and then being lost to the ages? This Target Blank update is your friend. When you enable this on your site, every single property link will open in a new tab, enabling your users to view the page, then return to the previous page where their search is still present.
Why is this important: if you direct users to a search page, they may not select Back and return to the search after viewing a single property page – now the search stays in one window when they click to look at individual properties.
What do I have to do:
1. enable Target Blank under Apps –> IDX –> Settings –> Target Blank.
2. (P.S. While you're there, turn on Similar Search and Infinity Listings so you keep your cool kid card AND your site is more user-friendly for visitors!)
3. That's it – whenever a single property IDX is clicked, it will open in a new window. Keep visitors engaged longer and get more mileage from your saved searches – starting NOW!
Zip Code IDX Searches – now site visitors can search for homes using a ZIP code! (I know, some of these things seem a little non-cutting edge – nevertheless, now you can!)
Blog Feed URL – in the past there has been some confusion about what URL to submit to register your blog feed with sites like Realtor.com. We've added this link to the Find Me app so you can just cut and paste.
Facebook Links open in App on IOS – Facebook links on your site now open in the IOS app vs. Facebook in a browser. It's the little things, right?
Change Your Own Social Links – some problems are just too small to bother contacting Support – now you can edit your own social links in Social Share:
**Big Improvement Alert**
I'm sorry – I just can't help myself. Some of these are so great!!
1. Stay Logged-in Longer – this update is completely for you, agent-marketers.
This is an improvement dedicated to the power user, the blog writer, the site builder, yeah, you. Used to be that when you went to the login page (/login), you were always presented with a login screen, even if you had just logged in moments before.
Now, your site will check for the login cookie and if it is still active, you will be automatically redirected to your dashboard. I know, less logging in might trigger withdrawals – who doesn't like to pound in a password every now and then? Come to Beat Zillow and we'll soothe your cravings with new lead gen ideas!
Important clarification – you might be tempted to think
'Oh no! My site isn't secure anymore because I didn't even have to log in and I'm looking at my dashboard.'
Never fear – this is not the case. You're only logged in automatically because you have an active session in your browser from a previous successful login. Don't worry – your users and malicious individuals won't be rolling in without showing proper ID to the code bouncer!
2. Mobile App View – want IDX on mobile that looks like an app? There's a switch for that.
Why is this important: Mobile traffic continues to climb on the web. Having an app-looking interface is great because it's doesn't actually require visitors to download an app, but it presents the button options in a simple interface that will be recognizable and easy to use.
What do you have to do:
1. From the Dashboard to go Apps –> IDX –> Templates –> Mobile Menu
2. Select Use This Template:
3. Enjoy this:
4. OOOOoooohh, look at those buttons!?! Brings a small tear to your eye, doesn't it?
Of course, there were a few more improvements that dropped yesterday as well – most of them, you'll never notice, but they make the machine run smoother, faster, and shinier. Things look better on mobile, a few glitchy errors are no more (going to miss those!), and the Single Property Squeeze template got a few improvements.
That said, I want to pull the curtain back a bit and let you know that our Support team is on the look-out for broken things – they flow issues to our dev team who is primed to identify the issues and find fixes fast! Lots of the items in this release and many more over the past couple of months are directly related to your feedback and input. For that, we are thankful. We remain committed to improving the product, improving your experience, and perhaps most importantly, improving your results. Stay tuned for more exciting developments (see what I did there?)!

With the holidays looming I find it's always a good idea to play around with pastry, because that's really a life-saver for when you have minimal ingredients in the house and need to whip something delicious and guest-friendly out of your pantry. The cooling period in the fridge is the most time consuming part of this whole recipe, because it's actually super straight-forward and indulgent!
Man-thing and I often go eat out at a local seafood restaurant because he gets to indulge himself (since we have a meat-free home) and I get to eat some avo and cucumber maki and cheese-free salad. I'm always curious with their desserts, and quizz him often about texture, taste, consistency…pretty much all food blogger questions that possibly interfere with his enjoyment of the dish (but that's too bad). The restaurant is supposed to have a Greek vibe to it, so most of the desserts are wrapped in phyllo pastry, and thus I've been inspired of late to try my hand at using phyllo sheets, which is rather new to my kitchen.
I'm not a big fan of pastry in general but I tip my hat to whoever makes this frozen stuff, because I would cry if I had to roll out paper-thin strips of phyllo from scratch. It's better to try wacky experiments now before the zombie apocalypse, whilst we still have refrigeration on our side.
For some guidelines I referred to Mouthwatering Vegan's best ever baklava recipe for inspiration (wowza!) and then to Souvlaki for the Soul for the cinnamon-bun style rolling technique which I saw in the menu of the restaurant. Most Baklava has a thousand more layers and isn't rolled, but honestly, I don't have the time for faffy techniques, and it came out ridiculously good, so win-win!
Lemon fig + pistachio baklava (makes 24 bites):
- 1/2 c salted pistachios, measured after shelling
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips/crushed dark chocolate baking discs (I prefer carob nuggets but was all out!)
- 1 cup/140g dried figs
- 1 cup tea of choice (add more if required)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 star anise
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 TBSP cinnamon
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 dropper NuNaturals Lemon flavour NuStevia
- Optional: extra sugar to taste
- 1 cup sugar of choice (xylitol works BUT it takes much longer to form a syrup and in fact needs cooling beforehand – use normal brown sugar for a glossy amber syrup)
- 1 TBSP lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 12 phyllo sheets, cut to 28cm in length
- 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- Thaw your phyllo sheets well in advance.
- While your phyllo sheets are thawing, start with your stewed figs.
- Cut the tips off the figs and place them, the spices and tea in a pot, bring to boiling then simmer on medium-low heat for 30 or so minutes until soft and the liquid has gone.
- Cool the figs, remove the star anise and cinnamon stick, then blend briefly down in a food processor or chop roughly but finely by hand.
- Spray a deep-dish baking tray.
- Layer 4 phyllo sheets on your work station, using a pastry brush to pain a thin layer of coconut oil or melted butter in between each one.
- Crush the rest of your filling with a mortar and pestle, then add your lemon zest and fig, stirring to combine.
- Much like a cinnamon roll, spoon your filling 1 cm from the edge along the length closest to you, about 2 – 3 cm thick and up to the edge of the width-side. Roll it up tightly to create a log.
- Using a cake tester or toothpick poke holes evenly across the surface for the syrup to seep into later on. Cut into 8 pieces whilst holding the pastry firmly. Squash any filling that spills out back in the sides.
- Repeat with the rest of the sheets/filling. Pack the pieces firmly against each other.
- Halfway through your second log, start preheating the oven to 180C.
- Paint the top of each log with the oil/butter.
- Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Halfway through the baking process heat your sauce ingredients together in a pan until just boiling, then simmer for 5 or so minutes until it forms a syrup that is thick BUT pourable (unless using xylitol, which it will take longer to cook).
- Pour the syrup over the whole of the warm pastry. Use a spatula to ensure it spreads evenly if need be.
- Refrigerate for two hours, then slice again to separate and serve.
- Optional: for extra decadent, uber ridiculousness, dip a corner of the baklava slice in chocolate with pistachio dust (if you need an excuse you can pretend it makes it easier to pick up and eat :p)
My oven is ancient so it only has the options to cook from the top or the bottom, which is why my pastries aren't as golden brown on top as they are underneath. Honestly, who cares though when a little dessert looks like that? I wanted to eat them warm but restrained myself most nobly.
Ok, confession time. When I first tasted one about half an hour into fridge time I was a bit wigged out, but that's only because I haven't eaten sugar like this in ages. An hour later I tried one more (for science) and it was just delicious! The treats really need sometime in the fridge to really shine and merge the flavours properly. It's crispy and sweet but has that deep fig and spice flavour that just transports the dish to a different level of yum.
Man-thing, can you believe it, says I could add more syrup/sugar, and that it's not the sweetest thing he's ever eaten. Well, let's just say that although I'm in stretchy pants mode thanks to the lack of gym lately, it doesn't mean all caution is being thrown to the wind. I like treats that don't make me groggy from a sugar rush and dip, and with these little bites you get the perfect blend of sweetness, a splash of salty nuts, and some wonderful zesty fruit.
This got the MIL seal of approval, not to mention Man-thing hounding me about when I'll finish taking photos so that he can eat everything, so all in all it's a success! Despite the longish looking list of ingredients, this was actually a super therapeutic process and went by much quicker than I thought! I'm therefore tempted to make this again, since any filling will do – I even blended up the rest of my stewed fruit and mixed that with cashews and wowza, what a delightful combo!
Other combos that I'm tempted to dry is coffee-soaked dates with pine nuts and rosemary almond raisins. Anything goes!

Electronic Toys Guidance
A List for Parents for Electronic and Other Toys
Choosing Electronic Toys: Electronic toys are can be good teaching aids. They can also be boring in a few minutes. A good list for parents to consult.

Parents and Parenting
What Makes an Electronic Toy Work for Kids? A List for Parents to Consult.
Jan Wilson
Electronic Toy Questions: Many of these questions are appropriate for other toys. It is a good checklist for parents to consult before ordering a toy.
Electronic toys are can be good teaching aids. They can also be boring in a few minutes.
Savvy parents should ask these questions before ordering an electronic toy–in fact, many of the questions below fit any toy purchase:
Is it age appropriate? Some tasks are just too advanced for children at certain stages. When parents order them anyway, they cause frustration and inadequate feelings. If this happens to you and your child, put it up for a few months.
Will the toy grow with your child?
Is it too heavy or awkward for your child?
Is there some positive reinforcement for correct answers and encouragement for incorrect answers?
Does it promote so many skills that it does none of them well? That is a common fallacy in toys.
Is it fun for your child!?!
Are the controls easy to use–well spaced, easy to see, uncluttered?
Is the screen large enough, easy to read, and using upper and lower case?
Is the volume adequate with a control system and is the speech understandable?
How is it powered?
What about service or further directions? Any toll-free numbers to call or website to consult.

The Factory, 112 – 118 Princess Street
Manchester, M1 7EN
Sunday 16th May to Wednesday 19th May 12 Noon to 6pm Daily
An exhibition showcasing Joy Divison memorabilia collated by Peter Hook and Chris Hewitt . Over the years as much musical and recording equipment and instruments associated with Joy Divison have been collated by Chris and Hooky and as an avid collector, Hooky will also be showing many paper artefacts and other related objects to Joy Division publicly for the first time.
The Ian Cutis/Joy Division exhibition at The Factory's top floor boardroom will contain at least six display cases full of Peter Hook's collection of Joy Division artefacts. There will be a scene of the Joy Division rehearsal room wih instruments and amplification that the band used on gigs and in rehearsals whilst the Joy Division recording session scene will recreate an Ian Curtis vocal take including the actual studio screens he recorded his vocals behind as well as a collection of producer Martin Hannett's original equipment including the microphone configuration that Martin Hannett used, Martin Hannett's legendary collection of outboard delay equipment that defined the Joy Division Sound, Hannett's own tape recorder and several of his early echo units.
This will be a unique insight into the artefacts, instruments, amplification and recording equipment of one of Manchester's seminal bands.
Thanks, I'm so there!

There is no need for elaboration on what is currently occurring in Israel. We know that Israel is liable to pointed fingers of blame. We realize that Israel is surrounded by a hurdle of ravenous wolves. I also don't want to post a megila on this subject because social media and news pages are being filled with Gaza War updates. It truly makes the heart sink like a stone.
We can only rely on our prayers, good deeds, and G-d's mercy to safeguard soldiers and citizens alike. I know my previous post was about how "waiting" can subsequently lead to genuine appreciation, but a 2,000-year exile is a wait that seems never-ending.
A spontaneous rally in support of Israel. Times Square, November 15th 2012:
Israel, we love you. Let's return to your borders in peace and joy.

18 Kim Ln Toms River NJ United States 08755
Welcome to Copy Cakes,LLC - I'm a pastry chef who has decided to give you the look for less by making replicas of real cakes that would normally cost you $$$$$$$$.We truly are your best alternative to settling for an affordable cake or a cake that comes with your package which has a limited amount of tiers. With a fake cake you could have up 6 or 7 tiers without wasting any cake and your $$$$$$$ could be put to better use on your honeymoon for tours, a private dinner on the beach etc. Multi-tiered cakes can be expensive but luckily you have now found an affordable alternative and after all real or faux .... who will know? We offer many options to customize your cake so it's YOUnique! What do you serve your guests if you rent a fake ???? fresh sheet cakes that are completely out of view from your guests because the wedding cake is never cut up in front of your guests because after your cake cutting ceremony the cake is wheeled away to the back . As for cutting into the fake in front of your guests goes... there will be an obscure section on the bottom tier filled with your choice of cake and filling. So why design your own fake wedding cake and lets us make your dream cake a reality without nightmare cost of a real one. This alternative is nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed because the only one who will know is who you tell. Just think you will be presenting that beautiful fondant look without serving your guests the yucky taste of fondant that no one is a fan of nor will your guests have to go through the trouble of peeling it off their slice of cake. It's true there are pros & cons to everything, however in this case the only con is wearing your vocal cords out by telling everyone what a great idea this was and how much $$$ you saved on getting the wedding cake of your dreams. I have always loved saving people $$$ when it came to ordering that special occasion cake - because I myself do not want to spend more than I have to when I'm spending so much money on a party. When you think about it the fake serves the exact same purpose as the real one. I not only offer cake rentals - I can also provide a real fondant cake but why would you want one. This idea is also very clever if you are having a small intimate wedding but you don't want to don't want to settle for a small cake and why should you ??? it's your wedding and you deserve the Wow factor !
