The Uttar Pradesh government, headed by Yogi Adityanath, today installed a "saffron" painted statue of Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, unlike the usual blue, in Dugraiyya village of Badaun.
The village had a statue of Dr Ambedkar earlier that was vandalised some time back. The old statue was replaced with the new one.
The new statue from Agra was unveiled in the presence of district police officers.
In the past, the Lal Bahadur Shastri Bhawan which houses the office of the Chief Minister was painted saffron and later even the Haj Committee office.
Saffron is the colour representing the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who himself wears saffron robes, defends the colour fetish and finds nothing wrong with it.
"Saffron colour represents purity... can someone deny the existence of the sun which is also saffron... people questioning all these are narrow-minded," he has said many times in the past.

What is the difference between cookies and biscuits
Shutterstock.com | Last updated on - Apr 17, 2018, 00:17 PTShare fbsharetwsharepinshare
01/7An overview
After a tiring day at work, relishing masala tea or coffee on the terrace of the house along with your favourite biscuit or cookie is the real bliss. But, while you enjoy the flavours, have you ever thought what the real difference between biscuits and cookies is? Often shaped as discs, the two celebrated snack items (also used in desserts) are actually different in terms of texture, ingredients and much more. Let's find out.readmore
02/7What is a cookie?
Cookie is an American English name, which was derived from the Dutch word 'koekje' which means 'little cake'. Cookies are loaded with flavours and take more time to bake, because of the thick batter and dense ingredients that range between nuts, oats, chocolate chips and resins. They are generally moist and chewy in texture.readmore
03/7What is a biscuit?
Biscuit is a British English name, which is derived from the Middle French word 'bescuit' which is derived from the Latin words bis (twice) and coquere (to cook, cooked), which means 'twice-cooked'. With a light texture and a crusty exterior, biscuits are generally made of butter, flour, and sugar or salt. They are thinner in dimension as compared to cookies.readmore
04/7Key differences
1. Cookies require soft dough, while biscuits require hard dough.
2. Cookies are little heavier than biscuits, whereas, biscuits are fluffier than cookies.
3. Cookies contain more sugar than biscuits.readmore

05/7The art of detailing
According to Nitya Sehgal, a food stylist, "Cookies call for detailing in terms of toppings and frosting, whereas biscuits are relativity plain and require no elaborate decoration." She further adds, "In India, the most popular forms of cookie decoration include glazing, frosting, royal icing and dry toppings. The dry toppings are added before the cookies are placed in the oven, while other forms of decoration are done after the baking procedure."readmore

Dare I say that you might be going to a pub later on today? :)ReplyDelete
Cute ads! I don't like to drink Guiness, but it's great to pour over meat when I'm doing it on the smoker.
I just might, Susan. I have the rest of the day off. (and I'd rather not go on St Paddy's with all the other tankards.)ReplyDelete

Those are great ads. And I don't even actually like Guiness - too much like drinking bread.ReplyDelete

Did you get some Guinness for your birthday by any chance? (I also think I forgot to wish you a happy one the other day, so belated wishes that your birthday was great!)ReplyDelete
For such a serious subject, Kylie, these are fun!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Pinklea. I didn't, but I might make up for now!
Citizen, it is almost as much food as drink!ReplyDelete
The dates are fascinating. i have some Guiness stuff in my 'bar'ReplyDelete
Ken, these would add some 'flavour' to your bar, for sure.ReplyDelete
I was familiar with some of the Guinness is Good for You ads but not these ones, and am quite taken with them.
Oh man, a tall Guinness sounds soooooo good right about now...:-)ReplyDelete
Hope you can find one, Ed. Perhaps tomorrow, at the latest?ReplyDelete
I didn't like Guinness until I went to Ireland and had it on draft. And I love the little symbols they manage to put in the foam, like the harp. These are cool ads, so diverse.ReplyDelete
Happy St Paddy's Day!

Never had much of a taste for the stuff. Once in a while, though...ReplyDelete
Slainte! Happy St. Paddy's Day!ReplyDelete
I don't drink the stuff. I prefer an ale me... :) Actually had two on Sunday after our race. Yummy!
But I love these ads.
UA, the ads are great, aren't they?
It's not my favourite, either, XUP, but sometimes it does go down a treat.
I have heard, Ruth, that there was quite a difference between the Guinness from London and the Guinness from Dublin (which is moot now as London has closed).
I've heard it said that if the Guinness brewery every failed, the entire economy of Ireland would collapse. ;-)ReplyDelete
I usually like drinking black and tan's myself, though a straight Guinness is enjoyable as well.
In the summer, I prefer a lager, myself, Mr Nighttime - it's lighter and more refreshing. Stout (and ale) can be rather heavy and filling)ReplyDelete
Guinness always makes great adverts. I love the beer too. And Saint-Patrick's Day, of course!ReplyDelete
You would get the opportunity to see these ads more than here in Canada, Guillaume. These were all new to me, but I instantly took to them.ReplyDelete
Glad you stopped by. For anyone who stumbled here, don't be shy to say 'hi' and let me know you've visited!

Fence Traveler (pt. 3) 'Liberal' or 'Conservative'?
Updated: Jan 15, 2019
Was Yeshua (Christ) a liberal or a conservative? Think about it. Let the question stew for a sec and we'll come back to it.
For most evangelicals today, there is a call to maintain a strong "conservative" ideology, as if it were a religion in and of itself. What does it mean to be a Christian conservative today? Forgive the generalizations below, but it usually entails believing:
America was founded as a Christian nation
The Bible, like the Constitution, is our supreme document that must be interpreted with either a loose, or strict, constructionist viewpoint (with no room for other interpretations)
Faith supersedes modern science in cases where the two contradict one another.
The biggest issues threatening our culture today are abortion, homosexuality/sexual sin, and other religions (Islam, Buddhism, etc.).
Now, what are some broad points typically attributed to liberal Christians? They usually entail believing:
The Bible is an irrelevant book, and therefore we pick and choose versus that relate to modern contexts
Empirical evidence and the use of intellectual reasoning supersede faith experiences
There are many paths to Heaven, but Christianity is a preferential choice
Social justice/humanitarian issues take precedence over the "afterlife" and salvation theology
While I would love to dive into each bullet point on either side—and trust me, we will in coming posts—I'm afraid it would be a novel-of-a-blog post and we don't have time to read a novel!
The point here is the terms "liberal" and "conservative" change over time, and so do the issues that we house in those camps.
Going back to Yeshua, we see him always bringing in the "outcasts"—those not expected to be on the inside of faith—and rejecting those who thought they had it all figured out: both religious institutions and the Roman government of his day. On one side, he had the religious leaders getting angry at the fact that he healed people and shared the good news on the Sabbath. On the other side, he had the hedonist, power-hungry Romans, who were bent on wealth extraction and the subjugation of other people groups.
Any of this sound familiar?
While I believe Yeshua started a spiritual revolution in the heart of the ancient world—one that had a kingdom "not of this world" and whose message was grace—we now know the danger of when a people's movement is co-opted by a religious institution through political enforcement. From the crusades, to the genocide of Native Americans, and to the enslavement of black people, we often try to sugar coat the brutal history of our "Christian" ancestors' pasts. Deep down, we know they weren't all that "Christian" like we'd like to believe and their history is our history too.
But fast forward to Christians who argued for the freedom of slaves during the late 1800s. Was it "liberal" propaganda for them to stand against slavery? Was it contrary to scripture to argue against slavery through liberation theology? In fact, pro-slavery Christians often used Leviticus 25:44-46 and many other versus to argue for the enslavement of black people and the displacement of Native Americans. So, would the pro-slavery Christians back then be considered the theological conservatives of today?
What matters is that the abolitionist Christians did the right thing with the time that was given them.
In summary, rather than hold fast to the ideals of "liberal" or "conservative" constructs, since they change overtime, and instead just simply do. the. right. thing. NOW. Today, Yeshua wouldn't tell you to be a more "conservative" Christian any more than he would tell you to be a "liberal" one. I think he would lovingly remind us that the world will know of his love for them because of our "love for one another."
So love your neighbor. Later, we'll explore ways to do that today.
This concludes the intro series to my Fence Traveler Blog launch. If there is anything I hope to achieve with my writing, it's this: to spur dialogue and get us asking questions.
So... why not ask, eh?
I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Maybe ask me something you'd like me to write about, or something that's keeping you up at night. I can't promise it'll become a blog post topic, but I CAN promise that you and I will at least chat about it.
Don't forget, you can always hit me up on the socials too: Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook

Robert Biel's Eurocentrism and the Communist Movement strains the background of Eurocentric and anti-Eurocentric currents within the Marxist-Leninist culture, arguing that this distortion used to be key to the improvement and unfold of revisionism, and finally to the disasters of the communist undertaking, within the 20th century.

Modernism and British Socialism
Thomas Linehan deals a clean standpoint on overdue Victorian and Edwardian socialism via studying the socialist revival of those years from the point of view of modernism. In so doing, he explores the modernist undertaking as extending past the troubles of the literary and creative avant-garde to include political and social events.
A Darwinian Left: Politics, Evolution, and Cooperation
During this ground-breaking ebook, a popular bioethicist argues that the political left needs to greatly revise its outmoded view of human nature. He indicates how the insights of recent evolutionary idea, quite at the evolution of cooperation, will help the left reach its social and political objectives. Singer explains why the left initially rejected Darwinian suggestion and why those purposes are not any longer attainable.

Kangana Ranaut is Bollywood's top actress and is also a National Award Winning actress for her performance in different movies. She is currently happy with the success of her latest film Manikarnika – The Queen of Jhansi which is a biopic based on the life of Rani Lakshmi Bhai of Jhansi. The movie also marked her directorial debut in Bollywood.
Recently, Kangana took on the other actors of the industry saying that they are never seen when she needs support but all of those wanted her to watch their films and spread the word. She says that no actress will turn up when she holds a private screening of her movie.
She recollected a situation where Alia Bhatt sent her the trailer of Raazi and Kangana took time to watch it and personally call Alia and the film's director Meghana to appreciate them and talk about it for more than an hour. She said this and added that she was there for everyone when they need her but no one is now helping her.

Premiere: Eli & Fur Share Soaring New Single "Wall To Wall"
British dance duo Eliza Noble and Jennifer Skillman, better known as Eli & Fur, have been as consistent as they come. Putting out quality releases every few months on average, their music doesn't see wild dips in quality. They are continuing that trend to close out 2019, with their soaring new single "Wall To Wall."
The new track is atmospheric deep house at its very, very best. It is grounded in a deep, throbbing bassline, while quivering strings soar above the drums. They add some vocals to the hook about having the moment come to life, which fits the motif of the track.
With the song coming this Friday, November 22 via Gavin Koolmon's, SIKR label, we decided to premiere this huge record for you today a day early. We also had to find out more about the track in a short and sweet chat with the pair.
What was the genesis of this song?
The instrumental track has been something we having been playing in our sets for a while. That specific string sample sparked the idea; we just found it really addictive and uplifting. We worked a long time on the instrumental track, getting it right, adding emotion to it. We wanted it to feel timeless and to work on the dance floor. The first time we played it was in really simple form without any vocals, just the strings and the groove and it got a great response. That's when we knew we wanted to take it further. Vocal wise, it took a long time to find something that worked. The string sample is a huge part of the track, so it was a challenge to find something to compliment it, but we eventually got there. We felt it had just the right amount of darkness and uplifting qualities to work with the vibe of the track.
What have been a few highlights for you in 2019?
We started off the year making music for three months, we took some time away from touring just to really focus on creative and it's been such a blessing in terms of what we have managed to line up for next year. Music has always been something we need time on. This is the first year we have done that, and it was very rewarding, and we made some exciting music we can't wait to share. Touring wise it's been a great summer. Highlights were definitely being back at ANTS in Ibiza, and we had some great gigs like CRSSD in San Diego, Watergate in Berlin a few times, Printworks in London. Newspeak in Montreal was also a highlight, just a real vibe in there. Putting out another EP alongside other music. The number 1 on Beatport Progressive House Chart with our track with Danny Howard was also super exciting. It's been a very special year!
You guys disperse your music to many different labels, how do you decide where to pitch your music? Are you always successful when you send demos?
It really depends. We have labels that we really love and have always sent music we think might fit. If it doesn't work for them, we always ask for constructive feedback. This coming year we are releasing on a wider range of labels, which is exciting. We are starting to focus more on our own label this coming year, which we are excited about as it gives us more freedom with creative parts of the process.
What is 2020 looking like for you guys?
We have releases lined up for the first four months of the year, which is really exciting. We can't wait to share more music with everyone and have some tracks out with labels we haven't worked with before is exciting. We are back in the US start of the year for some music making and more shows and then from there we are looking forward to growing our own label. We are very excited for the New Year. Things feel good and looking forward to sharing "Wall To Wall" with everyone, ending the year on a high!

Fiesta Evansville to celebrate Latino community, promote diversity
Four years ago, Abraham Brown joined a committee Mayor Lloyd Winnecke created to meet quarterly and talk about ways to support and integrate the Latino community in Evansville.
At one of the meetings, Brown and the rest of the committee members discussed creating an event to celebrate the diversity Latinos bring to the area and create awareness about the diversity within Latino culture -- a meeting that spurred the creation of Fiesta Evansville.
"The vision for the event is to really celebrate diversity not just in the Latino community but for all the different international communities that form in Evansville," Brown said. "We have had other cultural communities join us in past years, and we want to continue to grow and celebrate our diversity."
Now celebrating its third year, Fiesta Evansville has brought the community together to celebrate Latino culture and promote diversity in the city of Evansville. This year's free, family-friendly event will be from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at Wesselman Park.
This year's theme is "Bringing Latino Education to a Higher Level." Proceeds from the event's tethered hot air balloon rides will benefit the Latino Scholarship Fund at Ivy Tech Community College.
The event will feature its traditional Parade of Nations, authentic foods from more than 20 booths, music and live performances from performers in the local Hispanic community, interactive displays, a women's volleyball tournament and a men's soccer tournament. There will also be a Children's Corner with activities, inflatables, arts and crafts and face painting.
Several Tri-State agencies and businesses will have booths with information about their services including Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp., ECHO Community Healthcare, the Evansville African American Museum, Latino Chamber Alliance, Azteca Milling and many others. Several booths will also feature crafts and other traditions from several countries including Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ethiopia, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Marshall Islands, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico and Venezuela.
The mayor will present a proclamation that Sunday be Fiesta Evansville Day at the event. Many other community leaders will be present at the event, including the Evansville Police Department and Sheriff's Department who are giving a presentation about what they are doing to support diversity in the city.
Brown said he is proud Fiesta Evansville is reaching more people each year. When it first began, Brown said they hoped for 200 people to attend but ended up having 1,200 visitors. Last year's event had more than 3,000 people in attendance. Brown said the goal for this year is between 5,000 and 6,000 attendees.
"We want to celebrate who we are as Latinos and other cultures but also celebrating how we are all part of the Evansville community," Brown said.
If You Go:
What: Fiesta Evansville
When: Noon to 5 p.m. Sunday
Where: Wesselman Park, 551 N. Boeke Road
Tickets: Free and open to the public.

Chapter 140 - Silencing People (2)
Zhong Rushuang and company did not think too much about the other party's intentions. Her group was only somewhat fearful of those boys accompanying the Ancestor. As for other children, they did not care about them at all.
Let alone fearing a child who spoke in a frail way and looked like a little doll. With the way she followed Number Two, it was clear that she was not one of the Ancestor's servants. Since this was the case, what were they still afraid of?
One of the handsome youths even started joking around. "Number Two, you didn't kidnap or swindle this little lady into marrying you as your little wife, right? With such an intelligent looking small face, her little hands must be as skilled."
Number Two froze, unconsciously he wanted to retort immediately.
However, Ning Xuemo turned her head and glanced at these people with her eyes widened. She grumbled with her little voice. "Definitely not!" Although she denied it, her little face became red.
This was simply disguised acknowledgement!
All four of them looked at each other while laughing inside. This little girl was still so inexperienced...
Initially, Zhong Rushuang was still a bit suspicious and guarded against Ning Xuemo and Number Two, but at this moment, she completely let her guard down.
It did not take much time to roast everything, and all four of them shared the same thought. The food looks delicious, further stimulating their appetite.
The round faced young woman became impatient. She grabbed onto the hare and was about to eat it.
"Slow down." Zhong Rushuang stopped her and pricked the meat with a silver needle which came out from nowhere. After she took out the needle, she observed that the needle was still as bright as before. This allowed her to be relieved. She gave back the hare to the round faced girl...
It was obvious that she was extremely paranoid. She did the same thing with all the food going to be eaten by her juniors, confirming that the food was harmless. Only then, would her heart be relieved.
Like a single wind that could destroy clouds, it also did not take much effort and time for all the roasted game to be completely eaten clean, only the bones remaining.
Zhong Rushuang got up and said, "Thank you for the food. We should go." She sent a meaningful glance at the others in her group.
The other three also stood up and hastily bid farewell to Ning Xuemo and Number Two before walking into the depths of the jungle.
Ning Xuemo was still waving at them cordially as they left. "Big brothers and big sisters, take care! I hope you can soon find what you are looking for."
'Since when did that little girl become an enthusiastic boot licker?'
Number Two could not help but glance at her, just to discover the words she rapidly wrote on the ground: "Be careful of their sneak attack! Retreat to the thicket of brambles!"
Number Two was shocked! Misfortune befell them in the blink of an eye!
Four golden rays of light followed by four silhouettes suddenly attacked them!
Powerful like thunder and fast as lightning, the attacks were aimed at Ning Xuemo's and Number Two's vital points. It was clear that the attacks were meant to claim their lives. The ruthlessness of the attacks did not allow them any leeway to escape from death!
Fortunately, with Ning Xuemo's warning Number Two had his guard up and flew back in retreat before plunging inside the cluster of brambles. His actions seemed as if he panicked and did not plan to escape that way.
With their combined force Zhong Rushuang did not expect that they could not reap the lives of two people at one fell swoop. When she lifted her head to locate her opponents, Ning Xuemo and Number Two were already on the thorns above the brambles, looking down on them.
The little girl appeared to be incredibly angry and asked them with widened eyes, "Why do you want to kill us?"
Since their sneak attack failed, Zhong Rushuang no longer hid her intentions and bluntly said, "Because you must die!"
They must obtain the crystal core inside the Flying Dragon Centipede.
However, they did not want to incur the wrath of Chang Kong Country's imperial family. Thus, they must silence these two to spare themselves any future trouble.
The round faced young woman sneered, "At first, on account of you cooking for us, we were thinking about ending your misery quickly. We did not think that you two were so untactful, so don't blame us for being ruthless!"
"Be sensitive, and stop struggling so pointlessly. Be obedient and accept your death!" One of the young men in white spoke as a complacent smile appeared on his face.

I've really struggled to know where to start because this Blog has been in my head for a while. I thought the best place would be at the beginning with a bit about me so you know who I am and what I'm about before you start reading my ramblings. Originally this was going to be 10 things about me but I could only come up with 6 so here are my snippets.
- My name is Lucy. I'm nearly 24. I live in Worthing, West Sussex with my boyfriend Joe. I drink copious amounts of tea (always PG Tips) and my favourite food is cake. I have a degree in Psychology from Anglia Ruskin University where I graduated in 2013 and during my time there I met some amazing people who will be friends for life. I'm very enthusiastic, strong-willed and determined, I'm extremely talkative but can listen well too and am very caring towards others. I'm currently mostly housebound with anxiety.
- I LOVE cupcakes. Not just the cakes, I do really love those, but I love ALL things cupcake-y. I've got fridge magnets, socks, pyjamas, calendars, coasters, cake tins, aprons, bags and so much more, all covered in cupcake pictures. I even learnt to crochet so that I could make cute and cuddly cupcakes (see photo above).
- I also love Lego. This is entirely down to my dad who started buying packets of Lego Minifigures a few years ago and gave me his duplicates. I then started buying them occasionally and 3 years on I'm hooked, as is Joe and we now collect them and have well over 100 different figures.
- I also love to bake and have sort of ended up collecting baking recipe books. At the last count I had 33 and I've asked for a couple more for Christmas. My favourite recipes at the moment are Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes with Whipped Cream and Chocolate and Chilli Muffins. Both are divine and it's making me hungry just thinking about it! I've definitely put on weight since becoming housebound!
- I have lots of health problems and the list seems to grow every few years. None of the conditions are life threatening but all have been life changing and I'll write about this here in the future.
- Finally, the reason I'm here writing and you're there reading – I have depression and more recently developed an anxiety disorder. This Blog will mostly be about my experiences both past and present. I'm aiming to reduce stigma, dispel some of the myths and misconceptions, put a face to mental illness and highlight positive and negative stories in the media, as and when they arise. I've always been loud and open and I've never been one to suffer in silence so this is where I plan to vent, educate, advise, offer support and generally enlighten others about mental illness.
Welcome to my Blog where you'll be In The Midst Of Madness!

Lite bank is a non-bank provider of various types of loans for consumers, sole traders and corporations. These are medium-term and long-term loans in the amount of tens of thousands to millions of crowns, which require property guarantees. What are the other terms and conditions of individual Lite bank loans and what are Lite bank's reviews from clients who have already tried their products?
Lite bank is engaged in providing medium and long-term loans for consumers and entrepreneurs. In addition to classic special-purpose and purpose-specific loans, it also offers a loan for consolidation, execution execution and payment of real estate auctions. Currently we can find the following products in her portfolio:
All types of loans from Lite bank must be secured by real estate. The minimum and maximum amounts, the interest rate, the maximum repayment period and the brokerage fee vary from loan to loan. Specific parameters of all offered products are listed in other sections of this article.
Applications for all types of Lite bank loans can be submitted online at Lite bank.
Due to the transfer of the lien, the application process is slower and is therefore not a suitable product for those interested in payday loans and other short-term quick loans.
During the application it is necessary to present the ID card and the account statement for the last three months. In addition to income, the amount of regular expenditures (housing, energy, household, catering or repayment of existing debts) is also examined.
In the case of a positive assessment of the application, a search of the real estate to be collateral followed by the signing of the contract. The entire process takes about 7 business days.

Loan applications are assessed individually. The company cares about checking the applicant's creditworthiness, so it is not a loan without proof of income. During the application, full identification data, information on the applicant 's income and expenditure and personal status information shall be provided. According to the information on the company's website, the credit documentation is clear and transparent, so clients do not have to worry about any hidden fees.
Both consumer and business loans must be secured by a lien on the property, which may be the property of both the applicant and a third party. The provision of a specific loan always depends on the type of loan requested, its amount and repayment period.
Installments are paid by bank transfer according to the given payment schedule, which is part of the contract. In case of problems with repayment, it is necessary to contact the company employees as soon as possible and inform them about the situation.
If the installment is delayed, the loan may be redeemed. This means that the company prematurely terminates the loan agreement and prompts the client to pay off the full amount of the loan, including interest.
In the case of consumer loans, the debtor is first required to settle the debt, for which a 30-day period is reserved. A delay in repayment is accompanied by a contractual penalty of 0.1% per day of the amount with which the client is in default.
For business loans, penalties for delay are governed by contractual arrangements.
Insurance of the ability to repay clients is not offered. However, it can be negotiated separately with another company to prevent potential repayment problems due to job loss, injury or long-term illness.
A loan for anything from Lite bank is a non-purpose loan, which can be arranged between $ 50,000 and $ 3,000,000 with a maturity of one to 20 years. The APRC starts at 19.3%, with an interest rate of 10.9%. The client pays a fee of 7% of the loan amount for the loan.
A loan for anything can be arranged in the amount of $ 50,000 to $ 3,000,000 with a maturity of 1 to 20 years.

Credit parameters:
The maturity of this loan is from 1 year to 15 years, amounts over $ 499,000 are due within 20 years.
Another type of loan from Lite bank can be used to consolidate loans, pay off distraint, or pay off a property auction. It is provided with a maturity of 1 to 20 years with an interest rate of 16% pa. The processing fee is 10% of the loan amount.
Lite bank offers to combine liabilities of various types in the amount of at least $ 50,000.
The product allows you to combine debts of various types (bank and non-bank loans, credit cards, overdrafts, etc.) into one loan, saving on fees while having a better overview of repayments.
Credit parameters:
The maturity of the loan for consolidation, execution and auction is 1 to 15 years. Amounts over $ 499,000 are due within 20 years.
A business loan can be used to develop a company or cover operating costs. With Lite bank it is possible to arrange it as a special-purpose or non-special purpose according to the client's needs. Full identification and status data and management information of the applicant are required before it is provided.
Lite bank business loan can be arranged in the amount from $ 50,000 to $ 3,000,000 for 1 to 20 years.
Like a consumer loan for anything, a business loan is provided in the amount of $ 50,000 to $ 3,000,000, with a maturity of one to 20 years. The annual interest rate on this product is 8.9%. The fee for concluding a contract is 5% for amounts below $ 500,000 and 7% for amounts above $ 500,000.

Entrepreneurs can also use short-term loans for 4 to 6 months with deferred principal payments.
The loan for corporations represents another loan guaranteed by real estate. It can be arranged in the amount of $ 3,000,000 to $ 50,000,000 for a period of 1 to 20 years. The interest rate is 6.9% pa, the fee for granting the loan is 3% of the borrowed amount.
The corporate loan is offered in the amount of $ 3,000,000 to $ 50,000,000 for 1 to 20 years.
The corporate loan is offered as a special-purpose and non-purpose loan. The amount of the loan depends both on its type and on the specific requirements of the client.
Credit parameters:
As in the case of a business loan, Lite bank also offers corporations a short-term loan for 4 to 6 months with a deferred principal payment.
Anyone interested in a loan from Lite bank certainly interested in whether it is a proven, safe product. Many negative reviews of Lite bank loans have been reported in various discussion and review portals where the company's practices are described as unfair. Why is this so? Are Loans Really From Lite bank Scam?
Often, the very fact that Lite bank loans are required to guarantee real estate is a source of doubt. Many potential clients therefore feel that the company could deprive them of a roof over their heads, so they prefer other loans. However, this does not automatically mean that Lite bank is a fraud – real estate collateral may also be required for secure bank loans.
The company's belief in unfairness also stems from unfavorable loan conditions, namely high loan fees and high interest rates. However, all important repayment information is included in the loan agreement, which needs to be studied thoroughly and calmly, even with the help of someone more experienced. Client reviews show that the contract is not as easy to understand as the company states on its website.
Certainly it cannot be said that Lite bank loans are a scam. However, it is necessary to count on not very favorable conditions, which result in the client overpaying a large amount. Before signing a loan agreement, it is necessary to read all the points well and consider whether the loan from Lite bank is really a suitable solution.
From the above, it is clear that reviews of Lite bank loans are not exactly positive. In particular, clients are dissatisfied with the communication from the company's employees who allegedly disclose information that is not in accordance with the loan agreement. However, the most common reason for negative reviews is the aforementioned overall disadvantage of contracts.
Czech non-banking company Lite bank based in Olomouc was founded in 2010. Since then, it has been engaged in providing credit products for ordinary citizens, sole traders and entrepreneurs. At present, there are four types of loans in its portfolio, which can be negotiated as special-purpose and non-specific. Each loan must be secured by property owned by the applicant or third party.

How to Use Headphones as a Mic on a Mac
If you need to record some audio for your business with your Mac but your computer doesn't have a built-in microphone and you don't have an external microphone, you can use headphones as an input device. For example, you want to record a quick voice memo to your assistant, or you need to generate a sound bite about a new product to post on your company's website. Microphones and headphones both rely on vibrating membranes to translate sound into electrical signals and vice versa, so in a pinch, you can speak into your headphones to record audio. Your headphone must have a 3.5mm plug to fit into the Mac's "Line-in" port.
Click the Apple logo at the top left of your Mac, then click "System Preferences."
Click "Sound," then click the "Input" tab at the top of the "Sounds" preferences window.
Click "Line In" under "Select a Device for Sound Input."
Locate the "Audio Line-in" port on the back of your Mac, identified with an icon of two triangles connected by a circle. Insert the plug from your headphones into the "Audio Line-in" port. You can now use the headphones as a microphone to record audio for your business.
- The sound you record on your Mac with headphones may sound muffled and not as loud compared to recordings you make with a standard internal or external microphone.

Listening isn't always easy. We think we're doing a good job, and then finding ourselves at a loss when the person we've been conversing with accuses us of not listening to them.
The problem is that most of the time, humans listen with the goal of answering the person they're talking with. When we're thinking about what words of wisdom or pithy remark we're going to share next, we miss out on what the other person is really trying to say.
To be a good listener, we don't simply need to listen – we need to understand.
Listening and understanding take effort on our part, particularly when we're conversing with someone that we might not fully relate to – like teenagers.
But listening to our grandchildren with understanding is a gift that we can give today's teens that they, unfortunately, don't often get from other sources.
The Importance of Having an Open Ear: Why Children Need to Be Heard
Did you know that giving children a listening ear can actually help them create a better future?
According to UNICEF, when children feel heard and feel like they truly have a voice, they feel like they are a participant in their lives. This not only gives them some much needed confidence – it helps them and adults find ways to make the future a better place for everyone.
In fact, according to Carol Bellamy, who is the Executive Director of UNICEF, kids around the world have told her and other UNICEF workers that one thing they wish adults would do more of is listen.
In addition to giving children a voice in their own life, having an open ear provides a sense of validation. Not only is what they say valued – they'll feel valued as a human being. And this is something we all need to feel.
Another reason why it's so important to listen to kids is because it gives us insight into how they're really feeling.
Listening for clues while your grandchild is talking to you might alert you to red flags that could indicate depression, trouble at school, or feeling overwhelmed by life in general.
Children need help coping with these things. They aren't completely equipped to deal with them on their own. But if they don't feel that they're really being heard when they're talking – it's unlikely they'll really open up and confide in an adult.
And they might try to deal with difficult situations on their own – which, in some cases, could be disastrous.
Listening and Understanding – How to Make It Happen
Listening with understanding isn't always easy. For most of us, it's easier to listen with a view to answer inquiries properly. But those we talk to aren't always looking for answers. They want to know they're being heard, understood, and that someone is truly sympathizing with them.
Here are the best ways to practice listening and understanding.
1. Be Quiet
This is the time for bluntness. Most of us just need to shut our mouths and open our ears.
We've all been guilty of not really listening to the person talking to us.
But keeping our mouths shut is one of the best ways for someone to feel heard and respected.
This will take some practice, but you can do it. When someone starts talking, direct all of your attention to them and really, really listen to what they're saying.
Before you know it, you'll be revered for your exceptional listening skills.
2. Have a Goal
Your goal when listening to your grandchild is to learn.
When your grandkids open up to you, they're sharing their lives with you. You'll learn about their friends, their teachers, and problems at school.
You'll also have the privilege of being privy to their hopes, dreams, and fears.
3. Ask Questions
Asking open ended questions (questions that can't be answered with a simple "yes" or "no") will draw your grandchild out. They'll share more and more with you when you ask questions with sympathy and show that you want to thoroughly understand them.
Caution should be used here, though. If you drill your grandkids with questions, they won't view you as a confidant. You'll seem like their interrogator.
Listening with Understanding – the Key to Understanding Your Grandchild
When it comes to listening to others, the key is not just to hear, but to hear with understanding. You can't do that if you don't keep an open mind and try to relate to the other person.
This kind of listening takes some practice. Most people listen to answer. This isn't always what the other person needs, especially teens.
Yes, they will need words of wisdom and guidance from time to time. For the most part, though, they need someone to really hear them and to give them validation that what they have to say is important and worth listening to.
If you listen to your grandchildren with the goal of understanding them, you'll strengthen the bonds of one of the most important relationships they'll ever have.

This is my recipe for rock guitars:
For the basic "loud" sound here's what I'll do:
Set the ZVEX amp to brighness: middle, thickness: normal. Volume knob is about 3/4s+. There's only 1 knob on this amp I get it into the distortion space, but not all the way up. The amp is relatively quiet, the sound is a little mid-rangey, but it sounds good in the room.
Mic the guitars pretty close. About 4-6 inches away from the cabinet's grill. I'm using a large cap condenser for this. I've been leaving the mic in the omni position lately. The sound is a little more open. That proximity effect wasn't doing anything to help the sound IMO.
At this volume, I trim the Aardvark's preamp to "6.5" (not sure if this is a db level or something specific to the Q10) so there's a strong signal and still a fair amount of headroom.
Play with heart and desire -- and fat fingers. I'm not a great guitarrist, but I think pick technique plays a small part here. I'm working toward my ideal guitar sound which is distorted, but clear, with lots of bright overtones. Most of my favorite punk albums had some combination of this. I've learned to get some of those overtones by sticking my finger onto the vibrating strings as I pick. Do you really want to know about this? Just ask and I'll ramble on and on about it...
I'll usually double the main part of the song, then add one more color track, often with a different distortion and pickup setting.
1 guitar up the middle, usually cleaner (distortion-wise). Might use a little EQ to fill a gap in the wall of sound. Posssibly with a bit more of the send- verb too.
Group all the guitars. Use light compression with the RCL on the group. Might shelf the bass a little (I'm monitoring with NS-10s and I've found that if I can hear the bass at all there will likely be a problem on other systems.). I'll usually add a touch of room verb as a send effect.
Here are the compressor specifics:
The overall mix is important too of course. The drum sounds are reasonably loud, but offer some space. The bass has a few EQ notches (where? I'll check) to carve out space. I haven't been too happy about the vocal sounds on the full-band songs this year, so no help in this dept.
Here's the Dirty Little Secret: Bus compression is the evil Multiband thing. Yeah, there it is. It's out. What are the settings here? Hard to tell what all these mean. I'm basically choosing the "FM" preset and trying to dial it back just a bit.
Actually, now that I look closely to a randomly picked mix, it looks like I'm just using the default 'FM Radio' setting for 'Trouble Sleeping'.
That's about it. Here's a guitar-only mix for Trouble Sleeping: http://gr eacen.com/media/greacenzone/20090222_guitar_mix.mp3
You can hear slight variations on this on a bunch of this year's songs:
Which reminds me of one of my favorite scenes of all time...
Enjoy it before the copyright police take it down.
I didn't really make it to 29 songs as planned, but I'm ok with it. I have at least 10 (ok, maybe 6) decent songs to refine which is way more than what I had at the start of the month.
I uploaded a bunch of tunes from the wrap party to the 29 site (finally). I have stereo versions of the full band experience. Email me if you're desperate to hear those recordings (then please turn yourself in to the kookoo police).
Soon I'll lock down the files that make up the 29.netscrap.com site. Derek's comment about keeping the record of the month in tact is right on. I'll move those things somewhere else. The site will continue to work of course. In fact, it needs a few changes.... Gotta have better control of the player:
So what's next? I'll be spending some make-up time with the fam (and work) in the meantime. I also need to rehab my leg which was bonked one recent Saturday when I should have been finishing some songs. After that? I learned that I like recording tunes and I need to keep rolling with this. I learned that my main blockage with songwriting is more in the commitment department than the execution (except maybe the verboligization that accompanies the rock guitar). Even if it's just a slow simmer of experimentation, I need music to be happening. Maybe some 29'ers will get together to jam. Maybe we'll get to collaborate in each others studio to help get Greenberg's recordings recordings LOUDER... I DEFINITELY need to thaw out and finish a few blert songs that haven't been heard by many. Maybe I need to launch http://52.netscrap.com to be home of our new song-a-week lifestyle.
Who's in?
I just barely made it in before midnight. This is gonna be tough.
I came up with the verse on guitar & vocal melody idea over breakfast, but didn't get a chance to sit down and record until about 9pm. A little over 2 hours later, and 'Took To The Air' popped out. I was really itching to record drums for this one, I wish I had my kit in my garage.
Peter, there's still time! C'mon!
I recorded this on my laptop which is completely wrong for the job. Sure, I have the multitrack on there, but I was installing a mp3 codec at 11:15... Gotta get this in shape.
Also, Jim's Samson USB Mic is right for the job. Extremely handy to have this working with the laptop.
I'll put a page (and maybe that js-kit forum (yes techcrunch nerds, I'm lazy)) at http://29.netscrap.com to track the progress.
At this point Derek, Seth, Peter, and possibly Mark will join me on a quest toward sketchyness: sketching out song ideas and recording them every day for the month of February.
Seth took the first splash last night:
Derek responded:
You can beat that Derek! Beat it!

I'm biased. I'm a big believer in travel ball (though I haven't always been). But while there are significant benefits, there are also drawbacks of travel baseball. It isn't for everyone.
Maybe you haven't made that jump yet. Or maybe you have, and you're weighing whether it's a good long-term decision for your child. Here's a list of the drawbacks that you should consider…
1. It's Expensive
The truth is that the cost of travel baseball is a wide range depending on what you do.
But if you want to play at a high level — and sometimes if you don't — there is going to be sticker shock. Uniforms, indoor facility, tournaments, and more can easily add up to multiple thousands of dollars per year.
But there are also hidden costs associated with travel baseball. Baseball camps, private instruction, meals, equipment, and more all add up.
This is actually one of my biggest gripes about travel baseball. Not everyone can afford it. As a result, there are very talented players who could play, but who can't.
And meanwhile, there are some less talented players who probably shouldn't play (not only due to ability level, but love of the game), but do.
2. Travel
While travel is involved in the hidden costs of travel baseball that make it expensive, there's more than just cost that makes the travel part potentially problematic.
Parents have jobs. Parents can't always get out of work. If you play for a team that travels often, it can add a lot of stress to the family.
How will you get off of work? How will you get your work done while at the tournament? Are you losing income in the meantime?
3. School Commitments
While it's always good to have a balance and do things out of school, the travel baseball time commitment can be significant. Will it impact the time dedicated to studies?
The week can be very full with baseball-related activities during the school year, particularly once the season starts. Practices, private lessons, league games, and more.
Even if your child has the time to get his homework done, is there a cost? Is he getting enough sleep?
4. Forget Vacations
It's something of a joke for most travel baseball families, but the struggle is real. Finding time to do anything other than baseball is pretty difficult during the baseball season. Those who commit to this life accept it. It's not so easy for everyone.
You can schedule vacations during the season and just accept that your child will miss a tournament or two. You can also wait until after the season, but that often means a vacation during the school year.
In our house, our biggest vacations are our actual tournament trips (we make Arizona a family "vacation" during the spring) or during the winter.
5. Exhaustion
The exhaustion level will depend on how much you play, practice, and travel, but it's real. For players, coaches, and parents alike.
Constantly running around. Early mornings on the weekend. Hot summers when kids can play three or four games on a given day.
It's not for everyone, and it can break you. Burnout — for everyone involved — becomes a real risk.
6. Specialization
I constantly see people bagging on travel baseball, saying that specialization is bad. The assumption is that if you play travel baseball, you don't play anything else.
That's not really true, at least it doesn't need to be true. The Spiders have kids who play basketball, football, soccer, track, and cross country. It's a tough balance, but it can be done.
That said, playing multiple sports adds stress. Playing another sport at an advanced level with a high time commitment in addition to baseball is not easy. While not easy, we've had players who do it.
In most cases, travel ball kids will find other sports, but play them at a lower commitment level. Rec level flag football or basketball, in particular. It can be done, especially if seasons don't conflict too much.
The bottom line is that once you play travel baseball, it is difficult to find time for other things. You can do it, but be prepared for more chaos.
7. Cut Throat
This ain't rec ball. Travel baseball is cut throat. You may not make the team that you want to join. You may not get to play the position that you want to play. If you don't perform, you may not keep your spot on the team.
This is a difficult thing for players and parents to accept. But it's the nature of the beast.
8. Drama
If you add up all of the things we've already listed here so far, you come to drama. It's difficult to avoid.
It's expensive. It's exhausting. It's cut throat. It's competitive. This is a recipe for discontent, politics, and drama.
Parents get mad at coaches. Parents get competitive with each other. Coaches get burned out. Friendships are strained. Teams blow up.
This isn't to say that you won't find drama in rec and league ball. I'm sure you will. But the environment in travel ball makes drama difficult to avoid. It's why the right mix of coaches, players, and parents is so critical.
There's a certain level of natural selection in travel ball. Which teams are blowing up this year? You always hope it's not yours.
9. Not Ideal for Everyone
It's an unfortunate truth. Travel ball just isn't for everybody.
Maybe your son doesn't have the ability. Maybe he has the ability but not the passion. Or it's a commitment that simply does not work into your schedule, his schoolwork, or your budget. That's okay.
While he should absolutely play, there's very little reason to spend thousands of dollars per year if your child doesn't play at a high level or have a passion for it. This is especially the case if that's a difficult financial commitment for you.
Just as many of our players will participate in rec basketball or flag football, rec baseball can be just as beneficial to someone who doesn't need or want the high level of commitment.
Your Turn
As much as I love travel baseball, these are just a few of the potential drawbacks that travel ball kids, coaches, and families face regularly. Anything else that you would include?
Let me know in the comments below!

The Nicaraguan Army will close starting today, Wednesday, March 25, the blind spots on the country's southern border with Costa Rica.
La Prensa said it had unofficially learned the military will not allow anyone to enter or exit through these points.
Nicaragua's main independent news outlet said it tried to confirm the measures with Colonel Álvaro Rivas, an Army spokesman, but he has not responded to requests.
Costa Rica has expressed concern about the transit of Nicaraguan migrants, both into and out of Costa Rica, through blind spots, despite the country's closure of the border on March 18, not allowing foreigners to enter.
On Monday, March 23, Costa Rican president Carlos Alvarado added that all legal residents and refugees who leave during the national emergency would lose their migratory status.
Although the decree is for all foreigner residents in that country, it is clearly aimed at Nicaraguans and mass exodus that occurs each year during Semana Santa.
In addition to the migratory measure, Costa Rica Fuerza Publica (National Police) and Policia de Fronteras (border police) reinforced manpower along the mutual border, with emphasis on the blind spots, with an officer every 100 meters.
Meeting in Guasaule, the border with Honduras
Nicaraguan Vice President and First Lady Rosario Murillo reported on Wednesday that the Nicaraguan authorities met with their counterparts in Honduras, at the El Guasuale border post to coordinate prevention and security strategies to combat the coronavirus.
The binational meeting held Wednesday morning was chaired by the foreign ministers of both countries, and the ministries of state such as the health, government, police, and Nicaraguan Army.
"We were there in responsible and serious coordination to continue sharing as Central American brothers the communications and efforts to confront the pandemic," said Murillo, explaining that the topics addressed during the meeting were health, emergency care, security, migration, as well as border and trade cooperation, and the fight against organized crime.
Meeting between Costa Rica and Nicaragua
On Saturday, March 21, Costa Rican authorities convened an emergency meeting with their Nicaraguan counterparts to discuss joint actions to deal with the spread of the new coronavirus. At the end of the bilateral meeting, the governments of Costa Rica and Nicaragua agreed to establish mechanisms to share information on the health situation, but keep the borders open for the transit of goods.
The meeting was held at the Peñas Blancas and attended by Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Denis Moncada with representatives of the Police, Migration, Civil Defense and the Ministry of Health. The Costa Rica delegation was led by that country's Foreign Minister Rodolfo Solano and other ministers of that country, including the Minister of Health, Dr. Daniel Salas.
Nicaraguan authorities did not provide information on whether there was any agreement on sanitary and migratory measures with Costa Rica.
Nicaragua is one of the few countries that has not closed its borders as a measure against the pandemic of the new coronavirus Covid-19.

The Israeli poet T. Carmi died Sunday night of cancer at his home in Jerusalem. He was 68 years old.
He was know for his collections of poetry and translations of classics, including plays by William Shakespeare, Bertolt Brecht and Sophocles.
Carmi was born Carmi Charney in New York in 1925, in a home where Hebrew was the spoken language. He lived in Palestine as a child.
Returning to New York with his family, Carmi studied at Yeshiva University in New York. In 1946, he volunteered to work with refugee children in France. He settled in Israel a year later and fought in the War of Independence as an air force officer.
Carmi edited the "Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse" and the arts magazine Ariel and received the Bialik Prize for poetry four years ago.
He also was an editor of the literary journal Massa and was a member of the repertory committee of Habimah, the Israeli state theater.
In addition, he edited children's books for Am Oved publishing house.
His first book of poetry, "Mum Ve-Halom" (Blemish and Dream), was published in 1950.
One of Carmi's most famous poem is "There Are No Black Flowers," about his experiences in the children's refugee house in France.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.

Senior citizens, generally defined as those individuals who are age 65 and older, makeup about 16% of the population, according to a 2018 United States Census Bureau estimate. As this number grows, it's expected that by 2035 there will be more senior citizens than children in the United States.
As this number grows, so too are the rates of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and substance use disorder (SUD) amongst these Baby Boomers. In fact, according to the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, nearly one million U.S. citizens over the age of 65 reported having a SUD. While we don't normally think of seniors as a group with a high rate of alcohol or substance use issues, this simply isn't true.
Today's seniors are the Baby Boomer generation and are defined as those born between 1946 and 1964. This group of individuals was part of the period in history when drug use was more widely accepted and experimented with by many. For some, the drug use and alcohol use started during that time period and continued. However, for others, SUD and AUDs have developed later in life.
No matter when or how you or loved ones', alcohol, or drug issues started, there is hope and help. At Futures Recovery Healthcare, we understand there isn't just one pathway to recovery. Offering multiple pathways, resources, and programs of treatment, Futures helps seniors who want to break free from alcohol addiction or substance abuse every day.
Understanding Addiction in the Elderly
When it comes to addiction in the elderly, there are two types of addiction; early-onset and late-onset addiction. For many in this generation, the experimentation with drugs was quite common in their teens and twenties. This early 'experimentation' sometimes led to dependence and continued use over the years. For this group, whose addiction began before the age of 65, early-onset addiction occurred.
The Psychiatric Times reports that this early-onset group accounts for two-thirds of the senior population with an AUD. This early-onset group has also been found to have more physical issues and psychiatric problems than the late-onset group.
The late-onset group has addiction or dependence develop after the age of 65. For this group, many stressful life events, such as retiring, death of a spouse, health issues, and more contribute to the development of an AUD or SUD. In this late-onset group, most of the time the substance or alcohol isn't used to get high but to self-medicate. Seniors who have late-onset addiction, tend to turn to these substances as a way to numb both physical and emotional pain.
Co-occurring Disorders, Seniors, and Addiction
For many who lose a loved one, retire, or are faced with health issues, co-occurring mental health issues may develop. These can include depression and anxiety. Depression and AUDs are common amongst both early-onset and late-onset individuals.
According to the National Institutes on Health, there is a high correlation between alcohol use in the elderly and depression. And, as with other mental health and physical health issues in this age group, the co-occurrence can make it difficult to not only diagnose but also to treat.
Sleep disorders are also a common problem for seniors. Research shows that for those seniors with AUDs, sleep issues are even more common. But, as in the case of depression and some cognitive issues, it can be difficult to diagnose. Many seniors report using alcohol to help them sleep better however, AUDs have been shown to adversely impact sleep and other health issues in the elderly.
Futures is well-versed in treating AUDs, SUDs, and numerous co-occurring mental health issues. It's important when seeking treatment for alcohol addiction or drug addiction to find a treatment center that is experienced in addressing all of your needs. If you, or your loved one, have a co-occurring mental health disorder, such as depression, it's imperative to get treatment for this alongside your AUD or SUD treatment.
For seniors with an AUD or SUD, there are concerns about health unique to this group. Most seniors are already at higher risk of developing certain medical issues. The abuse of alcohol or drugs—illicit or prescription—increases this risk. Liver disease, cardiovascular issues, immune system problems, gastrointestinal (GI) concerns, endocrine issues, and more are of particular concern.
It's vital for anyone, senior or otherwise, who is struggling with a dependence on alcohol or another substance to get help. Although it may seem hopeless, there is help, just a call away. Many have felt hopeless in the throws of addiction and found a better life, free from alcohol and drugs. You, or your loved one, can too.
Signs of AUD or SUD in the Elderly
When it comes to the signs of addiction in the elderly things may present differently. While there are some similar signs of addiction that occur in those younger, with seniors it's important to look for certain signs. These signs of an AUD or SUD can be broken into four groups: physical, cognitive, psychiatric, and social.
Physical Signs
- Poor hygiene
- Incontinence
- Impaired self-care
- Falls, bruises, burns
- Poor nutrition
- Dizziness
- Blackouts
- Pain
- Headaches
- Sensory issues
- Unexpected reactions to medications
- Increased tolerance to alcohol or medications
- Memory loss
- Decision-making problems
- Cognitive impairment issues
- Disorientation
- Mood swings
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Sleep issues
- Social isolation
- Financial problems
- Legal issues
- Family issues
- Medication issues like running out or borrowing from others
It's critical to understand that addiction and it's accompanying symptoms can look different from one person to the next—no matter what their age. Having an open, honest, and non-accusatory conversation with someone is key to understanding whether or not they have an issue with alcohol or drugs. Approaching each of these conversations from a place of love, compassion, and empathy is crucial in getting them help—if they need it.
Futures compassionate outreach team has vast experience in working with both individuals and families facing addiction issues. If you are concerned about someone you love, particularly a senior citizen, the outreach team at Futures can help. From interventions to follow up care after treatment, our outreach team is dedicated to helping each individual and family who reaches out for help to find the program at Futures that best fits their needs.
Futures offers three different residential treatment programs; Core, Orenda, and Rise. Each of these programs offers something a bit different and caters to various individuals and their unique addiction treatment needs.
Treatment for Senior Citizens with an AUD or SUD
The research in regards to the best treatment programs for seniors with addiction issues remains limited. However, evidence-based treatment programs in environments with an adult-focused population have shown to be effective. Because of the unique needs of this group, both group and individual psychotherapy are helpful. For many seniors, it is difficult to open up to or relate to younger individuals in group therapy, however, taking part in group therapy helps to alleviate shame and isolation for this age group.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown to be effective with the elderly as well as across multiple age groups in addiction treatment. In CBT, the focus is on identifying and changing feelings, thoughts, and behaviors associated with AUDs and SUDs.
Exposing seniors to support groups once clinical treatment is completed is also vital. From Alcoholics Anonymous to Celebrate Recovery, these support groups help to reduce shame and social isolation.
If you are a senior citizen and think you may have an issue with alcohol, an illicit drug, or a prescription drug there is help. Taking the first step and reaching out for help is often the most difficult. Futures Recovery Healthcare is here for you. Our compassionate and dedicated team will help you to reclaim your life free from alcohol or drugs. Contact us confidentiality online or call us at 866-804-2098

Tom PettyTom Petty & The Heartbreakers (1976)
Текст песни с переводом слов Tom Petty «The Wild One, Forever» из альбома «Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers» (1976).
The Wild One, Forever
Well the moon sank as the wind blew
The street lights slowly died
They call you the wild one, said stay 'way from her
Said she could love no one if she tried
But then somethin' I saw
In your eyes told me right away
That you were gonna have to be mine
When the strangest feeling came over me
Down inside no matter what it takes
I'll never get over how good it felt
When you finally held m e
I'll never regret
Baby those few hours
Will grow in my head
Well it's too bad, but I want you
To know I understand
Yeah, it's been a long time but I don't mind
Yeah, it's all right I understand
Beca use somethin' I saw
In your eyes told me right away
That you were gonna have to be mine
