Like many communities, North Laurel is dealing with development that has led to crowded schools and clogged roads.
But unlike other areas, growth in North Laurel could reach monumental proportions almost overnight: Washington Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke wants to build a 78,600-seat stadium nearby. Homeowners say they fear the stadium will lower property values and make North Laurel's traffic and noise problems a nightmare.
"If the Redskins move here, I don't feel like I could get squat for my house," says North Laurel resident Donna Thewes. "I love the Redskins; they belong in D.C."

I have always excelled in predominantly male working environments since My early teens... Be it sport (I lift weights and enjoy martial arts training) or work. I know the male mind very well, like a familiar friend and I learned early on that in order to get ahead and get what I wanted I had to take control.
Working in forensics hardened My stomach and taught Me the limits of the human body - so fragile yet robust. Nothing shocks Me now. Travelling extensively, studying cultural nuances as I went along and facing some interesting challenges along the way strengthened My resolve and ability to get things done, My way, efficiently.
Naturally, this led Me to combine all of this, while adding a few other strings to My already extensive bow...
World reknowned Professional Dominatrix - Animal Lover - Trained Martial Artist - Global Goddess - Qualified Geological Scientist - Shock Junkie - Fashion Designer - Artist - Humiliator - Pervert - Purveyor of Fantasy and Pain
An Elite, Experienced and Trusted pair of hands with which to be guided and molded into the ideal subservient.

Megara was one of The three Furies in Greek mythology. The Erinnyes (also spelled Erinyes) were "the Angry Ones", known as the Furies in Roman history. They were the feared avenging Goddesses in Greek and Roman mythology who were born from the falling drops of blood of Uranus (Sky) when he was mutilated by his son, the Titan Cronus.
No prayer, no sacrifice, and no tears could move them, or protect the hapless object of their persecution.

All my family, friend, and coworkers looked forward to these at Christmas time. They were so popular that I only make them for Christmas. I make at least a double batch every year.
3 lbpowdered sugar
2 1/2 lbjiff peanut butter
1 lbblue bonnet margine
24 ozhershey cholate bars
How to Make Buckeyes
- Mix melted butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar together in a large mixing bowl
- Once completely mixed together, roll into balls the size you like.
- As you are rolling the balls, place them in a 9 X 13 container which can be sealed and placed in the freezer. I place wax paper between each row to make it easier to separate when it comes time to dip the balls into chocolate.
- When you are ready to dip the balls in chocolate:
In a double boiler melt 24 oz of Hershey chocolate bars and 3/4 bar of Parawax.
- Once melted, using a toothpick dip ball into chocolate leaving a bit of peanut butter showing.
- As you dip each ball, place it on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. I place in freezer to "set" the chocolate.
- After the chocolate covered balls are "set" I place them in air tight containers and refrigerate.

Summer heat
I know for sure that this past few months I've changed a lot. I have experienced things that I have not dreamed of. And yet, I still find myself in weird situations, being pulled back to old places and towards old friends.
Unlike the old me, who would've been most upset, the current me is amused. I've just lost a few friends today. They are dear to me, but I cannot deal with them anymore. I cannot deal with the gossip, with the she said, he said things. This situation just proved me that I don't need that kind of people in my life. It also showed me which people need uprooting from my life.
It is also another step forward. It is a step towards focusing more on myself and what I need to do with my life, rather than on other people, their problems and so on.
Sounds silly, I know..
This year keeps surprising me in the most unexpected ways possible.. Leaving aside the amusement on fast news travels, it is a bit sad knowing that you can never know whom to trust or not. Bad business this is. Trust is important in any kind of relationship, and I as proven over and over again that most people do not care about that.
This is why it is important to me to have this written down: a reminder for future times.

New Jersey copeswith post 9/11 needs
Determining all the damage caused by Sept. 11 can be a difficult job.
BY TRAVIS DUNN | HILLSIDE, N.J. | February 8, 2003
He is an extremely proud man, who wouldn't seek help on his own.
Catherine Earl
That the collapse of the World Trade Center was a disaster unlike any other in American history is a plain enough fact. Less obvious, however, is the baffling variety of ill effects people suffered from that disaster.
The damage from an average hurricane, earthquake or plane crash, is, by comparison, easy to see. But determining all the damage caused by Sept. 11 particularly the economic and psychological damage can be a difficult job.
Since these effects are so difficult to quantify and categorize, it's no surprise that the organizations that are trying to help all those affected by Sept. 11 are having a hard time.
None of this is news to the members of the New Jersey Interfaith Partnership for Disaster Recovery; they've been dealing with this confusing situation for more than a year.
The members of the partnership's "unmet needs table" get together every Thursday in this Newark suburb at the New Jersey Food Bank.
They meet in an office on the second floor of this enormous warehouse. Nothing glamorous: the wood paneling is artificial and a missing panel reveals a large hole in the ceiling. Every hour, without warning, the monstrous central heating system roars to life - a terrifying sound that generally launches jittery newcomers from their seats.
The Rev. Dr. Harry Taylor, the executive director of the partnership, tries to calm down the uninitiated. "Don't worry," he says, "that's not a hurricane."
From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. caseworkers from various groups come before the committee and request funds for their clients. The members talk it over, and ask questions about the particular case. They determine what funds are available, whether the client is qualified. They make their decision. If it's yes, Taylor's assistant, Amantuallah Anthony, cuts a check right there.
If it's no, the caseworker discovers that the partnership doesn't hand out cash like Monopoly money. This is a lesson which Robin Friedman, a caseworker for El Centro, an advocacy group for immigrants, quickly found out last Thursday.
Friedman had made a request for one of her clients, a self-employed small-business owner who took a big hit because of Sept. 11.
But one of the table's permanent members, the Rev. Chris Miller, is skeptical of "the action plan" a kind of roadmap to financial independence, which Friedman had presented for her client. Miller is also the director of the HEART Unit (Healing Encouragement and Advocacy in Response to Tragedy), a Methodist organization aimed at helping Sept. 11 victims.
"What's this?" says Rev. Miller, holding up the client's action plan. "This isn't a plan. It's a dream."
An acceptable action plan, he said, includes "measurable goals that can be accomplished in a definite period of time."
Miller pointed out that the unmet needs table has only so much money. What the client and his caseworker need to do is provide an assurance that the client won't have to keep coming back for more.
"He can't depend on us," Miller said, "We're not welfare."
If the client has credit card problems, which this one apparently does, then Miller said the action plan should show an effort at debt consolidation.
"If they're not doing debt-counseling," Miller said, "then I don't want to talk to them."
The request from Friedman, which included the payment of basic bills, is denied by the unmet needs table until she and the client work out a better action plan.
The goal, Miller said, is not to turn the clock back and make it seem like Sept. 11 never happened, but to make sure "that their expenses are taken care of by their income."
The unmet needs table can't bring about a complete recovery, but it can help clients become self-supporting, by encouraging them " to retrain or to change their lifestyle significantly enough," he said.
The unmet needs table cannot hand out money to just anyone who asks for it, Miller pointed out. There are applicants, he said, who are holding on to substantial savings accounts "for a rainy day," and yet who still come to the table asking for money.
"Well, in case you missed the storm," Miller tells them, "[Sept. 11] was it."
Other cases are more clear-cut.
Caseworker Catherine Earl presented a request for a man who had drained his retirement and savings account in order to pay off his debts.
The man was a tech worker who was laid off months after Sept. 11. The man, however, suspects that his employers decided shortly after Sept. 11 to fire him, but they waited until he completed an important project. At that point, it was too late for him to qualify for many forms of assistance.
"He is an extremely proud man, who wouldn't seek help on his own," Earl said. But the family's finances got so bad that the man's son came forward seeking assistance.
The Rev. Miller summed up the man's situation: "If things don't turn around soon, he's going to have to go on welfare."
"Wow, this is a really hard case," said Rachel Whitaker, a caseworker for The Salvation Army.
"This is outrageous that people have to use up their retirements," Taylor said.
Earl is hopeful that the man will be able to find work in the near future. "He's apparently very marketable," she said.
The group decides to help the man with some of his expenses. Anthony writes out a check.
Then there are the cases that defy all easy answers.
A postal worker, for example, may have inhaled anthrax when handling one of the tainted letters mailed shortly after Sept. 11.
Since this man's case is not directly related to the collapse of the World Trade Center, or the explosion at the Pentagon, he does not qualify for any of existing programs.
"This is pretty much the only place he can come," Taylor said. "It doesn't make any sense. This is a classic case of why we're here."
The worker was hospitalized and given Cipro. He says he showed symptoms of anthrax infection, and the doctors pumped him full of four different kinds of antibiotics. When they finally got around to testing him for anthrax, the results came up negative. But the postal worker is convinced that if he had been tested sooner, before he was given antibiotics, the test results would have been just the opposite.
Now he's suffering serious psychological problems. He was seeing a doctor, until he lost his job -- and his medical plan -- in September 2002 and could no longer pay the bills.
While the Department of Labor paid his original claims, it hasn't picked up the tab since then. Now he's having serious money problems.
An added problem: the man is not eligible for New Jersey's Phoenix Project, a free mental health service for those who suffered psychological problems because of Sept. 11.
"That's outrageous," Taylor said.
Miller was astonished that the Phoenix program, which has fairly lax eligibility criteria, wouldn't accept the man. "You could have been watching TV on 9-11 and be eligible," he said.
Now there are his bills, which he can't pay, and which no other group will touch. The unmet needs table cuts him a check.
Open hands, empty pockets
The unmet needs table may not be able to keep going much longer, said Rev. Miller, even though all the indications show that the need exists.
For example, Miller said that his HEART Unit received its largest number of applicants just two months ago, in December 2002.
More applications continue to come in, partly because the economic affects of Sept. 11 weren't felt overnight. And even after people began to feel the effects, some of them didn't come forward until they absolutely had to. When these people did seek help most of the deadlines for the traditional sources had lapsed.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) deadline passed at the end of January, a fact that annoyed both Miller and Taylor, who thought FEMA should have extended it.
Miller, as well as Earl, talked of another problem with FEMA: telephone operators who lacked a basic understanding of the eligibility for Sept. 11 assistance and who wrongly turned down applicants.
Earl said she had encountered this problem numerous times. Sometimes, she said, she would make a call for a client, have an operator say the client wasn't eligible (even though Earl was certain that was not the case), then she would hang up and call again, until she got an operator who understood the full complexity of the Sept. 11 eligibility requirements.
Even worse, Earl said she also had written proof of these mistakes - letters from FEMA officials denying applications that Earl thinks should not have been rejected.
This was a subject that particularly upset Miller.
"Don't even get me started," he said.
"We were trying to get [FEMA] to widen their net, but these were people who qualified and they were still turning them down."
In some cases, Miller said he and his HEART Unit workers were able to catch these errors and intercede with FEMA on behalf of their clients.
"But what about the people out there who don't have an advocate?" Miller asked.
What happens, he said, is that these people wind up at the unmet needs table, which is quickly running out of money.
Taylor said he has sought more funding from both governmental and private sources, but so far he has not received any new funding that will take them through the end of 2003.
"Eventually we're going to have to close cases," Miller said, "and not because they are met."
"But because we've capped out," Taylor added.
Ariel Alonso, a caseworker for Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Patterson, brought several cases before the unmet needs table last Thursday.
Taylor was concerned about the funds which Catholic Charities has for Sept. 11 victims.
"Do you have any idea how your funding is going to hold out through the year?" Taylor asked Alonso.
"No," Alonso replied.
Alonso helps displaced workers, as well as the homeless. For the latter, it's even tougher, he said. For, once the unmet needs table gives these people all they can and it comes time for them to leave the shelter, "it's do or die."

Published in the Northern Powerhouse Strategy alongside the Chancellor's Autumn Statement, the Government have announced a £10m reduction in funding to the Northern Schools Strategy, raising concerns from Imran.
Unveiled at the 2016 Budget by the then Chancellor, George Osborne, the Northern Schools Strategy set out £20m of funding for each year for four years, coming to a total of £80m, to improve education in the North of England, a move welcomed at the time by Imran whose calls for a 'Bradford Challenge', building on the success of the London Challenge, the Strategy closely resembled.
However, at the recent 2016 Autumn Statement, the Treasury published their Northern Powerhouse Strategy setting out their plans for the region, which only included a £70m funding commitment to the Schools Strategy, serving as a reduction of £10m on the original figure set out in the 2016 Budget earlier in the year.
This reduction has been met with concern by Imran who claims that the reduced figure will not be able to cover the full cost of what is needed to improve schools in the North, and he has called on the Government to fully explain why they have reduced the level of funding, and why they have delayed the publication of the findings of Sir Nick Weller's report on, and recommendations for, the Strategy.
Speaking on the announcement, Imran said:
"At the 2016 Budget I cautiously welcomed the then Chancellor's announcement that the Government would invest £80 million in schools in the North over four years, but I am extremely concerned that the Government has now seemingly wiped £10 million of funding from the Strategy without any real explanation, putting educational improvements in the North at risk.
"I hope that the Government has not used the spectacle of the Autumn Statement to distract attention away from this announcement on reducing funding for the Schools Strategy, and I will be pressing them to explain the reduction, and also on why it has taken so long to publish Sir Nick Weller's report when I received assurances that it would be published in October this year."

I think many of us here understand how you feel. But staying in a depressed mode won't help you beat it. Try and find some help or an outlet for your feelings. Find a shrink to help (hopefully one who doesn't rely on drugs---you can tell them up front that you don't want drugs. That sets the stage. Drugs should be the last choice (I know they help many so I'm not saying "No" period.) but I don't want them for me unless they are the absolute last resort. And that goes for any drug for any situation.). Good luck with this, but know that what you are feeling is normal.

I am always depressed with having cancer

I am always depressed with having cancer
17 Answers from the Community17 answers
Hi, Garfield. This cancer status is new to me too. Occasionally, I have dark moments, especially when dealing with the heaviest physical side effects of chemo. Do you have family/friend support system? I went to a Look Good Feel Better class shortly after being diagnosed. Although, I haven't seen those women again, it was great to be a part of the free class with free gifts & great tips & especially, great to be surrounded by other women who had come before me. I am glad that you are reaching out. I know another woman, personally, who had CC, like you. I think she is in her 60s. She is just about to reach her one year post treatment status & is going to do a zipline with her daughter. Physically, I never would've thought of her as the Zipline type of woman. But, I'm happy for her conquering status. I hope you feel better soon.
Ask your oncologist for a referral to a therapist who is trained to see cancer patients I found it very helpful in dealing with the emotional as well as the day to day navigation issues. I was lucky the hospital I am being treated at has a free 12 week program for qualified cancer patients. I still see her as needed for booster sessions every few months.
I also got a Pharma consult to a doctor who specializes in treating cancer patients. He put me on low levels of anti-anxiety meds, to take every day as well as a low dose of sleeping meds to take as needed after my infusions (steroids really kept me awake for 2-3 days).
Garfield, I have rectal cancer and I've been through the neo adjuvant chemo/rads and surgery and now just starting out on my chemo and I'm just not feeling good. The pain, the fatigue, unknown, etc. I have been very depressed and sad to the point of crying. My wife tries to be supportive but I'm convinced that nothing can help when I'm feeling like I do.
Went to a could do support groups which didn't help. Who wants to hear about the misfortune of others going through the same thing? I thought I did. NOT!!
Here's my plan. Make sure I take enough pain meds to get me through. Wife is a big help. Rest when I have to. When I feel good enough, get up and go for walks and/or some other exercise. Try to find one thing good in every day.
My wife has a great cancer therapist in mind that I may go talk to. No commitment there but I may just do it.
So far thus sounds all great being post 1 week after chemo and I hope I can keep to it.
Check back in a few weeks and I may be using your posting.
So keep up on your meds, do a little exercise, find something good in each day and plow right through this.
Everything will get rectified in the end. (Even tell stupid jokes)
Good luck and best wishes on your healing journey. I'll be looking for you on here.
Harry Butt
Garfield all of us here at one time or the other has said WHY ME how did I get pick for this journey? But you can't let that get you down. You will have bad days "But It Is What It Is". Just hold on tight for the ride. If you look up the American Cancer Society you will find numbers that you can call and talk to a person, They will have support groups and programs also the YMCA has meeting for cancer patients free of charge. I think that you just need to know that you are not alone in this journey. An when you have a good day enjoy it to the fullish stop feeling sorry for yourself
My employer (Human Resources) has what is called HMS, a separate company that assists with many different type of work and personal problems. They have a number of different type of counselors for different situations and there is no cost. Don't know if this is helpful or not. The other thing that might help is journaling - I do this some and helps to put my feelings on paper. Just a thought. Feel better!
Hi Garfield,
I looked at your profile....no wonder you are sad, having recently lost your dad to the same disease you now have. This diagnosis must stir up all kinds of emotions for you, over & above the ones all cancer patients feel. I can only tell you that during & post treatment, a lot of us have suffered from depression, and gotten treatment either through talk therapy or drugs. Do whatever you need to do to make you feel better & give you strength to fight this disease. Check with your oncologist or cancer center, to see if they can refer you to a doctor or therapist who works with cancer patients, or possibly, a religious counselor. You are going to go through a whole roller coaster of emotions as you progress through treatment, but try to remember that your are fortunate to have caught this early - you are a survivor right now! Keep talking, either to a professional, your family or friends, and/or to folks here. We'll do our best to help....and maybe tell you a few bad jokes along the way :)
I think having a good therapist is a must. It seems that it's often too much for friends or family because of their own feelings and fears around cancer and death and dying. My therapist wasn't a specialist in working with cancer patients but was very comfortable talking about death and dying, which in turn made me more comfortable with it and ultimately led to me learning to live more in the moment and appreciate every one of those moments more fully. that led to living more happy, and it just seems to spiral from there. I've lived more fully in the last 5 years, challenging and overcoming things I never dreamed, and that all stemmed from the same place you are at. I definitely have my times, especially when exhausted or not feeling well, but my husband reminds me that even pain and sadness is temporary if I want it to be.
Cancer diagnosis was an emotional roller coaster ride (at least for me), and that is normal. But once I discussed it with my doctor, researched it out, as well as talking with family, pastor, & friends... a lot of the fear subsided. I got involved in a cancer support group at my church and also American Cancer Society. It helps to talk with others who have been there and will encourage you.
Surround yourself with POSITIVE people! Watch funny movies to relieve stress. Write down several things each day that you are thankful for, and journaling helped me get my feelings out. Above all, remember God loves you, and is walking with you through this time.
Im a year into the diagnosis of colon cancer,,,,noooo joy at all for months,anxiety mostly,and depression won for several months ,,,then I finally sought emotional support,wish I HAD DONE I THAT SOONER,but I thought because I had no money,or insurance Icouldnt get the care I needed,I was soooo wrong,there is help out there,you only need to seek it out,my sister helped me find help.....and IM eternally grateful for her and the other group of family and friends who rallied to the cause,I believe in asking for help from professionals in these serious times of emotional crisis GOOD AND WARM THOUGHTS HEADED TO YOU cath

Please make sure you speak to your oncologist about what you are feeling. It is important! Also your cancer center should have a Social Worker associated with them that can direct you to help. We all go through those feelings while having cancer, specially when we don't feel well. It is a lot to face! I was blessed to have early colon cancer, but the surgery and recovery were hard. A year or so later I was diagnosed with Invasive Breast Cancer and went through surgery, chemo and radiation. I know those depressing feelings. I found an online Yahoo group that really helped me. And sometimes I just cried! It is ok! We have to get those feelings out and I did work through it. Now is time for you. Do something you like during the moments you feel up to it. Be patient with yourself. I wish you the very best.
I have had two cancers. Thyroid cancer and Breast cancer. Faith--praying--meditating help the most. Talking to family/friends is second on the list. Staying busy and living life is the third biggest help. I use Ativan when I have an anxiety attack or am feeling really really anxious. It also helps me sleep.
Dear Garfield, you are going to beat this . It took a year and a half but I kicked cancer's XXX. stage 4 . Sure it wasn't easy and yes I had my bad days and shed some tears but with great support from family and friends I made it. And you will too. You are not alone. Come back here as often as you need to and this community will always be there for you. Always. Good luck and kick that cancer's butt! :0)
The others are right, Garfield. We've all been through this, and it's TOUGH. It sounds like you haven't reached the "acceptance" stage of the grief process yet. We are ALL very different people. But one thing that helped me TREMENDOUSLY was to realize , "Hey--there are LOTS of other people in my chemo room who are a LOT worse off than me!" (And I've had b/c TWICE.) So it somehow became my "mission" to try to cheer some of them up. I did it by--OK, so I was after some attention--wearing the goofiest looking wigs I could find. And it often worked. I'd get a lot of laughs or at least smiles--from many other patients getting chemo. And making THEM happier made ME much happier. I'm still wearing goofy wigs to my Herceptin treatments. But it's been hard to top my Viking horned helmet with the blonde braids! Good luck to you, Garfield--and remember, sometimes when you try to help others, you end up helping yourself as well. We're here for you!

The Health Benefits of Sleep
By sharifitness on Nov 7, 2010 in Health
Did you sleep well last night, or the night before that? Are you getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep a night? Do you find yourself tossing and turning night after night, and when you finally do fall asleep, you're awakened by the sound of a blaring alarm clock even more tired than when you went to bed? Ugh. Not fun.
Perhaps you're one of those people that likes to brag about how well you function on only a few hours of sleep? Not getting enough sleep is nothing you want to brag about.
Many people look towards a sleep aid from their doctor, or take an OTC product (such as Tylenol PM®) for relief from sleeplessness but more often than not, many of these products can leave you feeling lethargic and in a fog the next day that find you taking stimulants to help get you through the day, which then only contribute to another sleepless night, which can become a viscous cycle.
Sleep loss can impact your health and should be taken seriously.
The importance of ZZZZ'z
Many people overlook how important getting a good night's sleep really is. Sleep is such an important topic that even the Huffington Post devoted an entire section to Sleep.
Sleep Loss and Weight Gain
Getting 7-8 hours a night of restful sleep is vital to your health. Let's start with the number one thing most people are concerned with – weight loss. Recent studies have shown that sleep loss affects fat loss. When dieters get a good night's sleep, more than half of the weight they lost was fat compared to losing only one fourth of fat loss when they cut back on sleep.
Lack of sleep also increases your appetite and research has found that chronic insomnia affects two of your hormones, Ghrelin and Leptiin. According to researchers at UCLA, "Sleep loss leads to increased ghrelin and decreased leptin, a "double whammy" that stimulates appetite".
Weight Gain and Sleep Apnea
Many people who are overweight suffer from sleep apnea. What is sleep apnea? WebMd best explains it "Sleep apnea briefly stops your breathing throughout the night. Each interruption wakes you for a moment, but you may not be aware of it. The result: you're sleep-deprived despite spending eight hours in bed." WebMd recommends the following for sleep apnea. " Lose weight if you're overweight, quit smoking, and sleep with a CPAP device to help keep airway passages open at night."
Sleep Loss, Stress and Cortisol
Not getting enough sleep can cause irritability, mood swings and increase stress levels, particularly the hormone cortisol which has also been associated with weight gain. Stress is one of the leading causes of insomnia. This becomes a vicious cycle. The less sleep you get, the more your stress levels increase as does your secretion of cortisol. Chronically elevated levels of cortisol are bad for our bodies and minds as well as our ability to sleep.
"When you are subjected to stress, particularly chronic stress, your body releases cortisol much more frequently than it should. This gets ugly when cortisol is not only high in the morning (as it should be naturally), but all day long, even at bedtime. Abnormally elevated cortisol begins to disturb sleep, which makes us more prone to daily stress, which raises cortisol. The consequences of this downward spiral include suppressed immune function, chronically elevated blood sugar levels, decreased insulin sensitivity, impaired ability to form long-term memory, decreased sex drive and libido" ~ Robb Wolff – The Paleo Solution
Stress is a topic I recently wrote about in my article Societal Stress. There are many ways to help reduce or alleviate stress and reducing stress is vital to your health.
Sleep Loss and Your Immune System
Chronic lack of sleep can wreak havoc on your immune system. Our immune system is designed to protect us from cold, flu and other illnesses and how well we fight them (i.e, the duration of said cold, flu, etc.). Chronic sleep loss can make us more susceptible to nasty little buggers.
According to Diwakar Balachandran, MD, director of the Sleep Center at the University of Texas, " Studies have shown that people who are sleep deprived also get less protection from flu vaccines than those who are getting adequate sleep".
Science Daily has also reported on lack of sleep and your immune system and in one article, they talk about how loss of sleep (even 1 night) increases inflammation in the body and trust me, inflammation is not something you want as it can lead to all sorts of unpleasant health issues, but that's a whole other story.
Loss of sleep, and even part of one night, produces inflammation that damages tissue. Findings by a research team at the UCLA Cousins Center suggests a good night's sleep can ease the risk of both heart disease and autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Sleep Robbers: Caffeine, Sugar and other Stimulants
I'm no different than most people and I admit, I need my morning coffee to get my day going. I also know to stay away from caffeinated beverages after a certain time of the day or I will end up spending the night staring at the ceiling which I definitely don't want.
Most people tend to have an energy crash around 3:00 p.m. and reach for a caffeinated beverage that may be sugar laden, or have a sugary treat to go with their mid- afternoon caffeine. Sure, this is an instant pick me up, but unfortunately, when the effects of your afternoon pick me up wear off, you're left feeling more tired than you did at 3:00 p.m. and you're also consuming unhealthy calories that lead to weight gain. For those of you who may be caffeine sensitive, although you may be feeling tired, the effects can linger on for hours creating a sleepless night so you may want to avoid caffeinated beverages late afternoon, early evening.
Looking for a natural afternoon pick me up? Have a piece of fruit with a healthy fat such as almonds, walnuts or natural nut butter along with a low fat cottage cheese or plain Greek Yogurt. Not only will this help control cravings for junk and sugar, you will get a natural energy boost that will sustain you for a longer period of time without spiking insulin levels.
While we're on this subject, how can I NOT mention energy drinks. They're gaining in popularity and obviously, contain caffeine.
Some sports supplements and weight loss products contain caffeine. If you are using a weight loss supplement and are taking it late in the day, you may want to make sure you use the product earlier in the day or stop using it altogether and see if your sleep improves. If you hit the gym after work and are using a pre-workout supplement, you may want to check the label to see if the product does contain caffeine.
Eating late at night
Eating late at night and going to bed shortly thereafter can cause a sleepless night. Your body has to work to digest foods. Also, the types of foods you eat prior to bed time can give you less than quality sleep. Most people find themselves reaching for junk snacks late at night (candy, cookies, pretzels, chips, cakes, pies, etc.) that elevate blood sugar levels giving you an energy boost and add extra unwanted pounds.
Best bet is to avoid eating large meals late at night and also avoid processed foods and sugary snacks. However, if you do find that you have to have something (and trust me folks, I've been there) reach for some low fat cottage cheese, plain Greek Yogurt or, have some natural nut butter (almond, cashew or peanut) with some celery sticks or an apple.
Getting your zzzzz's naturally
Now that you have an idea of how sleep loss affects your health, (and trust me, this is just scratching the surface), put down the Ambien® and let's talk about some natural ways of getting some good, quality, sleep. I'm not saying this is the cure all, but these methods are a good place to start that can do more for your health than the methods you're probably trying (or not trying).
Exercise Your Way to Better Sleep
Without a doubt, the best natural "prescription" for almost anything that ails you with the best side effects is exercise. In a recent study, a group of women aged 55 and older with insomnia were divided into two test groups. Test group one participated in physical activity four times a week while the other group participated in recreational or educational activities. The outcome of the study? The people in the exercise group did much better than the non-exercise group when it came to their sleep. Exercise not only improved their sleep quality but they also reported feeling better, their moods improved, and had more energy during the day.
One of the other benefits of exercise is that it will help you shed unwanted pounds, and helps reduce stress, so if stress is what's keeping you up at night, hit the iron!
Meditation is a great way to relax, reduce stress , calm the mind and the body and get you prepared for some quality shut-eye.
There are some wonderful self-hypnosis recordings available to help reduce stress or improve sleep quality.
What about Melatonin?
Melatonin is a hormone your body produces to help it regulate your sleep-wake cycles. I have tried Melatonin in the past and have found that while it did help me fall asleep, I did not sleep through the entire night. Some people have had great success with it while others, not so much.
Living a healthy lifestyle
I know the lifestyle I lead is not the "norm", although it should be. For many years, I have been consistent about getting enough exercise, eating a balanced diet that is rich in nutrients, have kept my stress levels low to almost non-existent (via exercise and keeping a positive mindset), and consistently get 7-8 hours of quality non-interrupted sleep. I feel great, have lots of energy, am happy, always in a great mood. What can I say? Mind and body are connected. Treat your body like the precious temple it is and it will take care of you.

A lift chair is often confused with a recliner. While both types of chairs can recline your position back and lift your feet using a footrest, only a lift chair can move you from a sitting position to a vertical position, enabling you to get out of the chair easily.
A recliner is also operated manually while a lift chair is controlled by pushing a button on a remote control. It is a smooth and steady motion, ensuring safety and stability when lifting and lowering.
If you have difficulty getting up from a seated position or difficulty lowering into a seat, a lift chair is a terrific mobility aid to safely and comfortably assist you in everyday living.

In three weeks we'll be leaving A Coruna, our home for the last four months. It's a strange sense of grief, this wrapping up and leaving. On one hand, it was always temporary — something we've gotten used to over six years of full-time travel. On the other hand, we've gained a lot by staying put for a while.
A place of our own
Since 2006 we've either been living with other people — both friends and strangers — or been travelling quite quickly, changing cities every week or so. We've been back to our home of Auckland, New Zealand for about 18 months over three trips: flatting, house-sitting, crashing with parents or friends for a couple of nights on arrival or before departure.
This has been the first time we've had our own place since 2006. And it feels kind of strange.
It's strange to have a 'home'. Our little yellow two-bedroom flat, located above the landlords. A washing line overhanging someone else's patio is accessed through a bedroom window. A couple of butane canisters sit on a rusty frame outside the kitchen. A wall or two of post-it notes from project planning and editing. Our dark bedroom without a window which is accessed from the lounge.
Thanks to this, we've been able to host friends for the first time in forever. Finally: a spare bedroom and a constant flow of friends, acquaintances, and even Indie Travel Podcast listeners. We've always crashed with friends and family as we've travelled: it saves money, and multiplies memories. Things are just more fun when you're with people. For the last few years we've been big fans of Couchsurfing, staying with people we've never met; and normally those memories are just as good. It has been excellent to be on the hosting end of the arrangement.
Why pausing is perfect
If we're in a place for more than a few days, we fall into a rhythm that's distinct in each place. There's a time to explore, a time to work, a time to play. We'll have a coffee here, then head in this direction. Dinner now, and bed then.
In four months, we've hit 'pause' on rapid travel and adapted ourselves much more to the pace of the city. Weekends mean something. Our walk has slowed. Dinner before 9pm is unthinkable, dinner at 11pm is 'a little late'. There's a downtime in the afternoon: we normally go for a walk and clear our heads while the city slumbers. At times it's so quiet this post-prandial stroll is like walking through the opening scenes of a zombie movie. Luckily, we've never needed to find a chainsaw.
This ongoing cycle of days, weeks, and — yes — even months has let us see patterns and feel rhythms that have been missing from our travels.
Instead of resident hosts, or a group of good people we meet in a hostel common room, we've got friends. People who text, who want to meet up, to go on a trip, or head to a gig. We meet for tapas and talk about our weeks, world events, and now the Olympics. We talk about the books we're reading or the games we're playing. It's a far cry from the hostel conversations that focus on where you've been and where you're going. A conversation that, if you're not careful, can devolve into a "I'm travelling further/better/cheaper/other than you" competition.
As someone that makes friends over years instead of over a drink or two, it's been nice to have the time to start developing some.
But it is just a pause
I think this time in A Coruna has been wonderful. In all of the places we've stopped — Malta, Mui Ne, Perth, Hastings, Adelaide, St Albans — this has been the best fit for us. Pohutakawa trees help, and beaches do too; but it's been more than that. We've clicked with the place and with the people.
However, it is only a pause. I still can't imagine stopping this life of travel. There's too much to see, too many new stories to find, foods to eat and people to meet. Too many wine regions to taste in, and tiny towns to pass through.
The road is calling. It's time to move on. Where next for us? We'll be spilling the beans next week.
Your thoughts on "The perfect pause"
I'm glad both of you have enjoyed this time in A Coruna and you have felt it as a place of your own. As the saying goes..."A Coruna, la ciudad en la que nadie es forastero" (A Coruna, the city where nobody is an outsider). Thanks for showing my city to all over the world through this excellent website. This place and its people will be waiting for you!
An inspiring attitude to travel! Thank you for taking the time to write, this is a fantastic website to have discovered! I will try and follow your example in years to come. Enjoy yourself!

The wealth of knowledge and experience Out-of-Door provides our students is the result of the generous support of current parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends. Your gifts make a huge difference in our ability to be named among the finest independent schools in the area.
Thank you for your interest in learning how you can support The Out-of-Door Academy. Our school's fiscal vitality is a result of those who have supported Out-of-Door throughout the school's storied history.
Out-of-Door's success is a direct result of the many individuals whom have created and maintained a culture of philanthropy as well as a spirit of volunteerism which is prevalent on both campuses. The Out-of-Door Academy is one of the premier schools in the State of Florida as a result of the support received through the Annual Fund, the Banyan Ball/Bash, Capital Giving, Corporate Partners, and Volunteerism.
Our mission can only be accomplished by assistance from every member of the Out-of-Door family: Trustees, Faculty/Staff, Parents, Grandparents, Alumni, Parents of Alumni, and Friends of Out-of-Door - all contributing, to the best of their financial ability.
An independent school must have a strong charitable giving program to survive. The federal government encourages philanthropy by allowing charitable gifts to be deducted from taxable income, and Out-of-Door's non-profit status enables supporters to take advantage of these tax benefits.

It's all in the details, unless the details are boring
I've gone from being excited about a little story I'm writing to getting bogged down in a lengthy tale that's heading in the direction of a much longer piece of work than I'd anticipated. So I'm taking a break from writing it for a few hours to think about what exactly I want the story to be and, more importantly, what I really need it to contain.
Part of the problem is that I have a tendency to over-describe character actions and extend mundane details. For example, when writing a first draft I might type something like:
Jed walked back to his car and opened the door. As he got in he noticed a man in a trench coat looking straight at him from across the road. It made him uncomfortable, but he tried his best not to show it. He had a sinking feeling that he'd been made.
There's a lot of stuff in there that a reader just doesn't need. Instead I should probably write something more like:
Jed pretended not to see the man across the street staring him down as he got back into his car, but it was no use. He'd been made.
The second passage is easier to read, but writing that way is a hard skill to master.
My inclination when I write is to describe the situation that I'm seeing in my mind's eye exactly as I see it. I don't want to miss anything important, so I throw it all in there. But having all that detail can turn out to be a super boring read, so I always have to go back and edit lots of stuff out. I guess the good news is that I'm getting to the point where I'm able to mostly distinguish what needs to go on my own these days, but it would certainly be better if I didn't put it there in the first place.
In the end, I think that I might have to read through what I've written so far in my small (and growing) story and decide what can stay and what needs to go before I get farther into it and have more detail than I know what to do with. It's not the most efficient way to write, but it's what I have to do in order to ensure that I'm not going to bore Jed to death before he has a chance to see what that guy in the trench coat wants.

They lied, cheated, the two of you broke up and got back together. They lied, they cheated, the two of you broke up and got back together. They lied, cheated, you bought you some sense, packed up your clothes and kids, moved, and then the drama began. It is amazing how as long as you are fighting to save a wrong relationship, the party who is causing the issues has no issue until you decide you want better for yourself. From harassing phone calls, showing up at your job, threatening emails, and multiple calls to your mama, I think we all can benefit from a crash course in Dealing with Exes 101. Now if both of you have come to a mature agreement about chucking the deuces and have decided to remain friends, consider yourself blessed with no stress, but this isn't for you. This is for those of us (myself included) who have found it hard to survive and pick up the pieces of our lives and really move on after leaving a relationship that was filled with manipulation, lies, and drama.
When we were teenagers breaking up was simple, it had no rules, it had no consequences in most instances and the drama, if any, was light and short-lived. Heck, you could probably have a new boyfriend or girlfriend the very next day, but the burden of moving on was not so heavy. Today, it's evident that relation-ships blossom and die quite often, but are they ending? And if they areending, is the end healthy to where both parties can move on and have healthy relationships with other people without the interference of each other's ex? At some point or another we all are going to have to star in this dreadful scene. Sometimes it's hard to be an adult with irrational people, hence the reason he or she is now your ex, but below are some tips, hints, and precautions in handling the one who let you get away.

Composing A Curriculum Vitae
- Details
- Category: Useful Info
Composing A Curriculum Vitae
Your Curriculum Vitae and covering letter essential tools in most job searches. Like any marketing document a Curriculum Vitae should help you to sell yourself. Here are just some areas you may wish to consider when composing your Curriculum Vitae.
Useful Hints
- Think about your skills, competencies, qualifications and experiences. What are your unique selling points and strengths?
- If you are replying to a specific job advertisement review what key words and tasks were used in the advertisement. Use these words on your Curriculum Vitae.
- Remember that you want your Curriculum Vitae to be read and responded to. Tempt the recipient. Include just enough information to stimulate interest, but not so much that you bore the reader.
- Three pages maximum is preferred. Every word must contribute to the overall message - so keep it brief and make sure that the contents are relevant to the job you are looking for NOW - not your last one.
- Ensure you Curriculum Vitae is well structured; this gives the impression that you think logically and makes it easier to review. A Curriculum Vitae that is hard to read is often put aside and forgotten.
- When writing the Curriculum Vitae remember self-opinion is best avoided. It might be an idea to attach copies of recent appraisals instead.
- Pay close attention to reply instructions in advertisements (e.g. spelling of the contact's name, closing dates). Have someone check your spelling and grammar.
Contents of Curriculum Vitae
- You need to contain your personal details (name, address, telephone numbers, education and qualifications) and a brief general overview of your skills, experience and the nature of work sought. If you are seeking temporary work do not forget to include availability and preferred locations.
- Present employment history in chronological order (ie, last job first). If you have worked for only one company for some time, break it down with an entry for each position or projects dealt with. For each position held describe the work undertaken, duties and responsibilities.
- List your hobbies and interests in no more than three lines if they are relevant. Any voluntary, charity or external posts you have e.g. school governor, referee are worth including.
- It is recommended that details of two references are given. Ask permission before you forward such information.
The Covering Letter
- Curriculum Vitae are seldom used alone; a letter or telephone call should always introduce them.
- A good introduction can save you from having to re-write the Curriculum Vitae each time you want to target your application to a specific advertisement or sector. Nevertheless keep your Curriculum Vitae up to date. Using an out of date Curriculum Vitae may exclude you from consideration.
Recruitment Agency Introductions
- Always ask the recruitment agency for a copy of the Curriculum Vitae they are intending to send to clients on your behalf.
- You should also ask the recruitment consultancy to explain its policy on submitting your Curriculum Vitae or details to a prospective employee. Will they always contact you before putting you forward? I f you always want to be consulted before your name is put forward for a vacancy, tell the consultancy - but bear in mind that employers often put consultancies under a great deal of time pressure. To avoid missing opportunities you will need to stay in close contact with the consultancy.
- Only allow the agency that first contacts you about a specific vacancy to act on your behalf. Multiple submissions by different consultancies can confuse potential employers - they do not multiply your chances of success.

that centered completely on said homosexuality. This shows how self-
centered homosexuals were and apparently are. Well, in all of Christian-
ity, with Catholicism being the very first Christianity in history, homosex-
ual activity was always identified as One of the Four Sins which Cry to
Heaven for Vengeance.
The Vatican banned Dignity Masses everywhere on Earth. However, Don-
ald Wuerl was the last bishop to provide weekly Dignity masses at his then-
diocese of Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Dignity Masses was Wuerl's battle cry
of defiance to the Chair of Saint Peter. And now, in his typical hypocrisy,
Wuerl tries to make himself look like the best friend of Saint Peter. None
the less, one of two the reasons why Donald Wuerl got away with what he
did through the decades was the mass loss of faith and morals throughout
the Catholic world. Basically, no one cared.
In Catholicism and Orthodoxy, both of which believe in the priesthood and
the Sacrament of Holy Communion, any person living the homosexual life-
style are perpetually in the state of mortal sin and are forbidden to receive
holy communion, being that, to do so, is yet another mortal sin that increases
one's degree of everlasting death when one finally enters into eternity upon
If these Dignity Mass people don't like 2,000 year old church teaching, and
if they reject the tale of Sodom & Gomorrah, then they can start their own
religion and leave the vast Catholic Church wealth behind them. But, they
want to do nothing more than take control of the Church that was built by
generations of non-homosexual people. That is basically theft, like a cuckoo
bird thrusting out of a nest the chicks who were they first. Yes, cuckoos rob
the nests of other birds.
Now, Protestant preachers who try to get Catholics to leave the Church and
start placing their tax-free collection money into their Protestant collection
baskets are doing the following: They are claiming that the Catholic Church
clergy was always homosexual advocating that their parishioners be equally
homosexual. Well, if the Catholic Church was homosexual from the begin-
ning, then it would have died out by the Year 175.
The truth is that homosexual conduct received the DEATH PENALTY in
Christian Rome and all of Christian Italy. Thus, the Protestant preachers
who call themselves "saved" lied to you. There is no being saved while
you are lying to the people.
Interestingly enough, All of Italy, from the Mount Vesuvius region to the
Northern Italian border has historically been the among the LEAST inbred
national regions on Planet Earth, along with 1} the Spanish Basque region,
2} Northeastern France, 5} Western Germany, 6}Southeastern England,
7} Denmark, 8} the Netherlands, and a few other national regions.
Keep in mind that: Wuerl is attempting to have 2,000 year old Catholic
doctrine changed. Wuerl is thereby presenting himself as the new enlight-
enment who trumps even Peter and Paul. Of course, Wuerl wants the offi-
cial teaching authority of the Church to allow persons obstinate in mortal
sin (and publicly known to be so) to receive Holy Communion. That prac-
tice was condemned by St Paul, himself, and so stated in one of his epistles.
Paul described it as "treading on the Blood of Christ." In fact, going to Holy
Communion while obstinately aware of unrepentant mortal sin is equivalent
to inviting Christ into your home, followed by you beating him beyond re-
Well, this shows that Wuerl was a failure in life, in that he failed to get those
people obstinate in sin converted from their deadliest of sins. If he were the
holy saint that he made himself out to be, people would be converting within
an instant, while reading and/or watching and/or meeting and/or hearing him.
After all, being in Mother Theresa's presence suddenly made people want to
become better persons.
Now think: Below is posted the evidence that the #1 Catholic network was
NOT praising Wuerl in the least. Donald Wuerl was referred to as a bishop
who seemed to NOT be in union with the Holy Father ... not in union with
the person who sat on the doctrinal Chair of St. Peter.
The weaker the leader's character, the more vicious his deeds
Keep in mind that Mother Angelica publicly admonished then LA archbishop
Roger Mahoney, only to have the prelate perform bully tactics upon the well-
intentioned founder of EWTN. Well, a package of evidence was sent to the
EWTN people, concerning Donald Wuerl, to no avail. Yet, Donald Wuerl's
weekly TV show was dropped from the EWTN schedule long ago, whatever
had been the reason.
The letter posted below was the response of EWTN, after a package of
incriminating evidence was sent to it, concerning Donald Wuerl. It was
sent to EWTN years before Wuerl was to be transferred to DC. There-
fore, it was sent years before he was elevated to the College of Cardinals.
This shows that Wuerl's corruption was already known, yet nobody did
snything to stop it. Wuerl was elevated instead of disciplined, as if to
have been rewarded for his viciousness.
This teaches an important point:
The scandals of the church, as expert witness and author Richard Sipe
illustrated, started at the top. In the Fr. James Torquato retaliation, we
have a case in point where the cover-ups of the Vatican II church were
sustained be imposing fear upon the victims, advocates, and especially
whistle-blowers of any variety. The laity feared being bullied by the
abusive bishops and priests. They feared undergoing what a few of
s were forced to endure during the Torquato Retaliation.
As a note, the papal nuncio was contacted during the first phase of the
Torquato Retaliations, and he said that he would do no more than con-
tact Donald Wuerl about it. It was equivalent to contacting the fox al-
ready in the chicken coup. Almost immediately after I contracted the
Papal Nuncio, the apartment bldg intrusion occur, and the hunt for
Torquato's accuser ratcheted upward a bit. I remember every place
where I was hiding the guy. Torquato and Wuerl put him through
a lot of trauma. No peace from Donald Wuerl.
Being an object of church retaliation during the tenure of John Paul II
meant that you were entirely unprotected, unless someone in secular
law enforcement or civil law would reach out to help you, and not
look the other way. The letter below is proof that the EWTN TV
network looked the other way, in the sib of cowardice, negating its
purpose for being on air. Such a thing was a sin of cooperation.
For the narration about the matter of Wuerl's cover-up of his former
For the record, this letter was an untold insult, being that it admitted
people in a position to give tremendous help ended up giving zero
help when it was needed.

Does everyone in your home know what the smoke alarm sounds like? Did you remove the batteries when they started chirping instead of replacing them? If it did sound, would you know what to do?
The Louisiana State Fire Marshal's Office is teaming up with our wonderful local fire departments and the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association from Sunday until Oct. 15 to let our community know: "It's Fire Prevention Week. Protect your family from fire!" As always, the focus of FPW is to prevent home fires. This year, the campaign also is urging people to protect their homes and families with planning and life-saving technology — such as smoke alarms!
Smoke alarms are an important part of a home fire escape plan. Working smoke alarms cut in half the risk of dying in a home fire. Unfortunately, many homes have smoke alarms that just don't work. In fact, roughly two-thirds of home fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. About one in five smoke alarm failures resulted from dead batteries.
The Louisiana State Fire Marshal's Office is urging you to use this week to be sure your smoke alarms are equipped to help protect your family from fire by putting the following tips into action:
- Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of the home, outside each sleeping area, and inside each bedroom. Larger homes may need additional smoke alarms. Never remove or disable smoke alarms.
- Interconnection of smoke alarms is highly recommended; when one smoke alarm sounds, they all do. A licensed electrician can install hard-wired multiple-station alarms. Wireless alarms, which manufacturers more recently have begun producing, can be installed by the homeowner.
- There are two types of smoke alarm technologies — ionization and photoelectric. An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires — such as a pan fire or the smoke from cooking. A photoelectric alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires — such as a cigarette, overheated wiring or something hot such as a space heater. Install both types of alarms in your home or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms that take advantage of both technologies.
- Test smoke alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button. If an alarm "chirps," warning the battery is low, replace the battery right away.
- All smoke alarms, including alarms that use 10-year batteries and those that are hard-wired alarms, should be replaced when they're 10 years old (or sooner) if they do not respond properly when tested.
We strongly encourage all Louisiana residents to participate in these events to learn more about the importance of smoke alarms and other ways to protect your home and family from fire.

Over 58% of parents in the UK with children of school age say catchments areas will have an impact on where they choose to live in the future.
According to research carried out by Santander Mortgages:
One in four parents have moved house to be within their desired school catchment area.
27% of those who have moved will move out of the area once their child has secured a place.
Parents are willing to pay a premium of up to 11% on the average UK property price and as much as 15% within the London area.
49% have sold their previous property and purchased within catchment area, 25% have purchased an additional home and 26% have sought rental properties.
Parents are even going so far as to making substantial sacrifices for the sake of a good school, with 22% going over budget purchasing property they cannot afford. 17% even changing jobs, 15% moving to areas they dislike and 21% moving away from family and friends.
Miguel Sard, Managing Director of Mortgages, Santander UK said: "School catchment areas remain a key discussion point for many parents. Our research shows that with competition for school places remaining high, parents are making significant financial and lifestyle sacrifices to be within the catchment area of desirable schools. Living within a certain school catchment area is a priority for many families but these premium addresses can come with a hefty price tag".
"For those wanting to buy a new home, affordability is key so it's important to look at incomings and outgoings carefully. Unfortunately, this is likely to be harder to achieve for those wanting to buy in a specific school catchment area. We urge parents looking to move not to stretch themselves beyond their means – finding a mortgage provider that not only offers competitive rates and products but also has the expertise to ensure that the right deal is secured is fundamental to this."
Areas with the best performing schools within England include; Gloucester, South Northamptonshire, Harrogate, Gateshead, Trafford with the average house prices ranging from £142,000 to £416,000. Unsurprisingly homes in the top catchment areas within inner London cost on average £1.2 million.
With the costs of sending a child to private school rising at a faster rate than house prices, this trend is set to continue.

Mfundo Radebe is a young public speaker and social activist who made his way to the prestigious Harvard University, despite the odds.
[TUNE in now] [New beginnings] Dlulisa Initiative founder & @Harvard student @MfundoRadebe a on giving back to SA pic.twitter.com/B9uErIxlD6— CapeTalk on 567 AM (@CapeTalk) May 29, 2017
Radebe was accepted into Harvard on a full scholarship and is now giving back to South African youth through his uplifting project, The Dlulisa Initiative.
Dlulisa is a youth led civil society initiative that collects resources such as textbooks for less-privileged schools.
It's about giving textbooks and stationery to foundation level children in schools that truly need those resources. Then we see how we can implement monitoring and evaluation.— Mfundo Radebe, Harvard scholar and founder of The Dlulisa Initiative
Radebe says his reality forced him to always push for more and seek out opportunities for himself.
Raised by a single mother, he grew up in the Durban township of Umlazi and was always hungry for knowledge.
Radebe first wrote to the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation when he was 13, and landed his first scholarship.
He then set his sights on Crawford College, where he received the first full compassionate scholarship and became an international public speaker and debating champion.
While there, Mfundo excelled in his academics (matriculating with 8 distinctions in 2015) and secured a scholarship at Harvard to study political science and psychology.
I realised that this was a clean slate and a chance to build anything I wanted... A chance for me to make a big difference.— Mfundo Radebe, Harvard scholar and founder of The Dlulisa Initiative
Radebe reflected on his moving journey and the initiative to help underprivileged learners in South Africa.
Take a listen to his inspiring story:

Straight from the Bizarre Mind of David Hicks...
For Caleb
Creations to Help You in Your Relationship With the Creator
From someone who is really no one...
Welcome to my world! Here you will find anything and everything I've ever made that...
May be of help to you or someone else in understanding God, Jesus, the Bible, Satan, and all things related
I didn't delete.
I've found time to upload to this website.
Peruse at your leisure! May you and/or someone you love be richly blessed by having come to this website!
David Hicks
All the photos you will see on this website were taken by the greatest photographer I've ever known - my wife Heather Hicks.
Whether You Love God or Hate God, You Are Welcome Here!
If Right Now You're Angry With God and Maybe Even Angrier At Christians, It's Okay
Let's face it. Sometimes people who say they follow Jesus are rude, mean, cruel, insensitive, uncaring, unthoughtful, hypocrites. And I hate to say it, but I'm sure I've played most if not all of those roles plus many other negative ones in my life as a Christian. If you have been the victim of such hypocrisy, the first thing I want to say to you is, I am deeply sorry. I am sorry for every time I or anyone else wearing the name of Jesus has hurt you. I wish I could take all those moments back. I'd try and defend us but there is no defense. Just please, please, please, don't let our mistakes, our sins, our faults close your heart to Jesus. We weren't following Him in those moments, and so it wasn't Jesus who was hurting you, but who was loving you and trying to help you overcome His faulty people. May somehow, some way, some day, may something on this website help you find healing, and even more, find Jesus.

About the guy in the middle..
Born way back yonder in 1970, I was adopted and raised in the small town of Rockwood, Tennessee (what else do you expect from someone with the last name of Hicks?). I graduated from Lipscomb University in 1992 and from I.T.T. in 2010,... I think it was. God has blessed me with a life of many spiritual adventures - teaching, preaching, song leading, song writing, youth ministry, Inner City work, African mission work and most recently acting. He's also blessed me with a wonderful son (Caleb, on the left in the red), a wonderful wife (Heather, who would kill me if I uploaded a picture of her), wonderful people (for example Caleb's friend Robert on the right), and yes, even a wonderful dog (Daisy, in the.... oh! You know where she is!)

Day 26: The Hannah Montana Complex....
Hannah Montana and I are like the same person. Not including the time I got my bangs cut like hers, I mean like we are the same person, but not in looks, or age and I'm pretty sure my daddy isn't Robbie Ray, but you never know. My mom did meet him a couple times *shrug*
What I am really trying to get at here is that I have a secret life. I am a rockstar in one life and dull single mother who works all day long, all the while working on ideas for her rock star life.
That is me, in a nutshell.
Someone asked me a really great question the other day in my Formspring.me asking me why I blogged. I did answer the question honestly, but I really think I can elaborate on it a little more.
I began blogging a long time ago. I became hooked on it after getting my first comment. Realizing someone was there listening to me and offering support and advice, I couldn't stop. I blogged when things were going good, I blogged when things were bad, I blogged when I was devastated, the whole time having support of strangers. People I've never met in my entire life offering advice and words of encouragement. Blogging became therapy for me.
When I thought I didn't need therapy anymore, I changed it up a bit and began blogging about my photography (If you travel back into the early archives here you will find some of those photography posts). At the time, I kept a private blog where I let out my emotions. I mean it was some pretty deep stuff I wrote about.
The two separate blogs didn't represent myself very well (not to mention I didn't take the greatest pics) so again I changed it up and merged the two together and I decided to write and take pictures. I love being a blogger, and even though most of the times I struggle for things to write about, I just love writing about anything. I like to share things, I'm a presenter - but in real life I am ridiculously shy.
I have never shared this blog with my family, my friends or my co-workers, with the exception of a very small few who have discovered it. Each time someone discovers my blog I get butterflies. Shy girl FREAKS out. First I think "did I write anything bad about them?" Which is
Mostly I am embarrassed. Because this is not really real life me. This is Internet me...evilflu. I would never admit to someone that I am depressed, although I'm fairly certain they all know by now, I just choose to ignore that they would think that, or maybe they don't, I don't know and that's how I like it to be.
There have been a few cases where people I know have stopped by. At first I'm not really okay with it. I get really embarrassed and feel like taking the whole site down just so they can't read my feelings, but I can't stop now.
This is my therapy. This is my space (not to be confused with MySpace which is a totally creepy site). This is where I tell you I like Hello Kitty and taking pictures. This is where I tell you that I have crushes on bus drivers and air conditioning men and this is where I talk about being a single mom and what it's like to want to stab your eyeballs out when your kid throws a tantrum in the store.
So to answer your question,
I blog because I like to and because it makes me happy.
I blog because this is how I really feel and this is a place where I'm not afraid to feel it.
I blog because I have a terrible memory (yes, sadly I use this as a memory tool)
I blog because I like Internet people. You all are friendly and kind and you are always there.
Hello..this is my blog. I bought this fancy theme and I don't know what to write here just yet. Maybe one day remind me I have to write something inspiring here?

Corson, K.R. MacKenzie, E. Segre 1940 (United States) Electron Configuration [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p5 Word Origin Greek astatos, unstable Isotopes Astatine-210 is the longest-lived isotope, with a half-life of 8.3 hours. Twenty isotopes are known. Properties Astatine has a melting point of 302°C, an estimated boiling point of 337°C, with probable valences of 1, 3, 5, or 7. Astatine possesses characteristics common to other halogens. It behaves most similarly to iodine, except that At exhibits more metallic properties. The interhalogen molecules AtI, AtBr, and AtCl are known, although it has not been determined whether or not astatine forms diatomic At2. HAt and CH3At have been detected. Astatine probably is capable of accumulating in the human thyroid gland. Sources Astatine was first synthesized by Corson, MacKenzie, and Segre at the University of California in 1940 by bombarding bismuth with alpha particles. Astatine may be produced by bombarding bismuth with energetic alpha particles to produce At-209, At-210, and At-211. These isotopes can be distilled from the target upon heating it in air. Small quantities of At-215, At-218, and At-219 occur naturally with uranium and thorium isotopes. Trace amounts of At-217 exist in equilibrium with U-233 and Np-239, resulting from the interaction between thorium and urainuam with neutrons. The total amount of astatine present in the Earth's crust is less than 1 ounce.

Work Injuries
Tennis elbow (also known as lateral epicondylitis) is a condition where the outer part of elbow becomes sore and tender.
Lateral eepicondylitis is an extremely common injury among sports people and manual workers where repetitive strain occurs to the elbow. There may have been recent changes in training or technique, note-taking or equipment used in sport or work. This strain leads to microscopic tears in the tendons of the extensor muscles at the outer elbow. These tears cause degeneration of the tendons and inflammation follows. Unfortunately over long periods of degeneration this inflammation becomes chronic.
Tennis elbow can usually be diagnosed by a detailed history and physical examination.
It is important in assessment to differentiate local elbow pain from that involving the neck or nerve structures.
An activity history will also be taken, noting any recent change in the level of activity. In racquet sport players, any change in racquet size, grip size or string tension and whether or not any comment has been made regarding his or her technique.
There are two stages involved in the management of tennis elbow
In this phase different treatments are used to reduce pain and maintain function. These may include:
This phase will include exercises to strengthen the extensor tendons and for posture correction. Return to sport and activity follows.

LONDON--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Technavio analysts forecast the global mechanical thrombectomy devices market to grow at a CAGR of more than 6% during the forecast period, according to their latest report.
The research study covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global mechanical thrombectomy devices market for 2017-2021. The market is segmented based on end-user (hospitals and ASCs) and geography (the Americas, EMEA, and APAC).
The mechanical thrombectomy devices market is expected to grow at a steady rate during the forecast period. These devices are the gold standard for the treatment of blood clot and revascularization, despite the higher demand for aspiration and rheolytic thrombectomy devices. Public awareness is rising for the early diagnosis of PAD and related disorders to avoid the further blockage of arteries. Surgeon's preference for the use of mechanical thrombectomy devices is high, due to the ease of use and high success rate.

Technavio healthcare and life sciences research analysts highlight the following factors that are contributing to the growth of the global mechanical thrombectomy devices market:
- Rising prevalence of CVDs and cerebrovascular diseases
- Increasing product approvals and patents
- Acquisition of small specialized hospitals by Tier-1 hospitals
Rising prevalence of CVDs and cerebrovascular diseases
The rise in prevalent cases of CVDs and cerebrovascular diseases is driving the market growth, with the increased use of thrombectomy devices for the removal of blood clots. Mechanical thrombectomy is one of the conventional products used for the treatment of stroke and CVDs. Some of the common CVDs where blood clots occur are CHDs and PVDs.
Srinivas Sashidhar, a lead cardiovascular devices research analyst at Technavio, says, "According to the CDC, in 2015, VTE cases included PE and DVT. The statistics of VTE cases is difficult to gather, but according to the CDC, about 900,000 people are affected by PE/DVT each year in the US. The higher incidence rate drives the procedure volume and impacts the growth of the market."
Increasing product approvals and patents
Several devices are available in the market to treat CVDs and other related medical conditions. The blockage of arteries is one of the common medical conditions in CVDs. To treat the blockage and the dissolution of thrombus, there are several products in the market for the revascularization and normal blood flow in the arteries. Many product patents are being filed for product approvals and the treatment of thrombosis.
"In the US market, Penumbra has launched the latest thrombectomy device, the ACE 68 Reperfusion Catheter. This provides an opportunity to the surgeon to facilitate reverse stroke, which is a cost-effective procedure. In the last quarter of FY2016, the company recorded increased sales of thrombectomy device in the peripheral vascular business segment," adds Srinivas.
Acquisition of small specialized hospitals by Tier-1 hospitals
The growing trend of acquiring hospitals has helped to increase the patient care management, which has indirectly impacted the growth of the mechanical thrombectomy devices market. Large hospitals acquire smaller ones, which helps to train the healthcare staff, including the physicians and nurses. This helps in the enhancement of their skills and ensures positive outcomes in patient management and diagnosis of PAD.
The presence of skilled professionals for PAD techniques (vascular specialists) and limb amputation in the US has led to an increase in the procedure volumes. The techniques used by healthcare professionals have improved with the increasing number of M&As of hospitals, which helped in the growth of peripheral vascular procedures and mechanical thrombectomy procedures.
