An opinion piece in the Canadian Medical Association Journal says a new law could pose a serious danger to the mental health of refugees.
Bill C-31, the Protecting Canada's Immigration System Act, includes provisions that allow the immediate detention of refugee claimants designated as part of irregular arrivals.
All those over the age of 16 will be held for a minimum of two weeks before their detention is reviewed, while those under 16 can be informally detained with their parents or released to child care authorities.
The bill became law at the end of June and the detention provisions are now in force.
The authors of the piece cite several studies suggesting high levels of psychiatric symptoms among detained refugee claimants, even after short periods.
"As health professionals, it is our responsibility to urge the government to minimize harm to children, pregnant women, trauma survivors and other vulnerable people," Dr. Janet Cleveland and Dr. Cécile Rousseau wrote in the article, released Monday.
"Children should not be incarcerated or separated from their parents. Detention of all refugee claimants should be limited to the shortest possible time required for identity and security checks and should generally be in noncarceral accommodation, especially for vulnerable individuals."
The article cites statistics from the U.S., the U.K. and Australia, all showing adverse mental health outcomes following detention.
In the United Kingdom, after a median 30 day detention, 76 per cent of detained refugee claimants were clinically depressed, compared with 26 per cent of a non detained comparison sample.
In the U.S., after a median detention of five months, 86 per cent of refugee claimants showed clinical levels of depression, 77 per cent had clinical anxiety and 50 per cent had clinical post-traumatic stress disorder.
In Australia, where there is mandatory detention for refugee claimants who arrive by boat, there were more than 1,100 incidents of self-harm and six suicides in a population of about 6,000 people detained for a median of 10 months, the article says.
The authors say that's roughly 10 times the suicide rate in the general population in both Australia and Canada.
"Yet, in Australia, close to 90 per cent of 'irregular' claimants are later accepted as refugees and settle there permanently," the authors write.
The new Canadian law was introduced following the arrival of a ship carrying almost 500 asylum claimants in 2010.
Six men among those passengers reportedly remain in detention.
In a 2010 evaluation of detentions and removals, the Canada Border Services Agency raised concerns about how they handled mental health issues among detained claimants.
"While individuals with mental health issues do get assistance, there is considerable variation in the time until services are received," the report said.
"The evaluation was unable to determine the scope or magnitude of this issue as detainees' health statistics are not tracked by the (agency)."
Earlier this year, the Mental Health Commission of Canada released a federally funded blueprint for overhauling mental-health care in Canada, which included the needs of immigrants and refugees as one of its priorities.
The opinion piece in the CMAJ follows weeks of protests by doctors over cutbacks to health benefits for some refugee claimants.
Included in the original interim federal health program had been coverage of counselling or psychiatric treatment for refugee claimants, as well as coverage of the cost medications.
But changes to the program — which took effect at the end of June — only provide those services to those resettled in Canada by the government.
Otherwise, treatment will only be given if the claimant poses a public health or safety risk.
In a letter to Immigration Minister Jason Kenney in June, the Canadian Psychiatrists Association voiced their concerns about the impact on mental health.
"This language, which deems patients worthy of care only if they are a potential harm to others, serves to further stigmatize our already stigmatized population, and does not address the dire need for medication and treatment for all patients who need them, whether or not they pose a risk to others," they wrote.
The government argues that refugee claimants should not receive benefits that aren't received by Canadian taxpayers, saying the changes were designed to discourage bogus refugee claims.

Evaluation of Vocational Programs for American Indians. A Position Paper.
Purley, Anthony F.
After a review of the literature on past and present vocational education programs conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and private industry, 5 methodologies for use in evaluating Indian vocational programs are discussed. Research needs are then suggested. First an assessment of vocational education programs offered in BIA schools--considering teacher preparation and recruitment, curriculum, school organization, and community role--is needed, as is an assessment of vocational education programs for American Indian adults. Special attention also needs to be given to research on adequacy of opportunities, training, and placement of Indians. Additional studies are needed in terms of on-the-job behavior, values, attitudes, motivation, and competencies held or needed by Indians for successful entry, persistence, and advancement in vocational training and employment.

Photovoltaic Panel Inspection, building heat dispersion, pipe monitoring, safety and surveillance, Farm & Agriculture, and more. We can do an entire commercial building roof in the time it would take most inspections to get started.
Whether it's a photo of your house or house and land these are the most popular jobs. Many homes need a little to a lot of elevation to actually showcase how the home looks. Our picture and video resolution give you the option to zoom in and see everything including the flowers and small objects. Bring he family and have a long lasting memory photo.
Real estate agents are very quickly realizing that very low altitude aerial video footage captured by drones sell large pieces of property and homes with unique features more quickly. Additionally, agents who hire UAV video companies report that they are attracting more listings as well. Over 1200 percent higher sales on listings with drone videos than not; even in the same price comparison!
This is an exciting application of drones being used to capture sporting events from the air. I've seen UAVs being used to capture all sorts of events, from ESPN's X Games, the Olympics, the Boston Marathon and even the Tour de France. There is no shortage of local, regional and world events that couldn't be showcased from the air!
Drones are increasingly being used by journalists and citizens alike to report the news. There have been several high profile instances in which small unmanned aerial systems have been used to document and provide video footage from areas of conflict, war, civil upheaval, accidents and disaster. UAVs offer journalists a safe working distance from otherwise dangerous situations and can often be carried to the scene of a report and deployed by a camera operator far more quickly and at less expense than a commercially piloted new helicopter.
Similar to real estate videos above, no better way to show off a spectacular hotel situated on the perfect piece of property than to provide potential visitors the kind of video footage and aerial imagery only a drone can provide.
Drones can provide public safety officials real time video footage in areas hard hit by natural disasters like flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes that often make huge inhabited areas almost impossible and too dangerous to travel by land.
Search and rescue is available and we help when possible. Call for more info.
Need an operator? We are here and have had years of experience. For footage as smoth as butter, look no further.
Pictures, Videos, NDVI, 2D and 3D Modeling, ect is availabe. We are insured up to 5 million on liability and should have all necessary licenses.
Construction companies and architects handling large building projects are deploying drone operators to capture video in a way that allows them to measure and report progress. Insurance companies are employing drones to inspect and quantify things like hail damage claims to roofs rather than put adjustors at risk of falling as well. Turbine Inspection available.
Capturing unique aerial video footage from vantage points that only small unmanned aerial systems can provide to augment traditional wedding video is becoming a popular request by brides-to-be. And why not? Outdoor wedding venues are often chosen for their spectacular location and gorgeous scenery; drones can capture more of what makes the celebration's backdrop special than ever before.
Long the domain of commercially piloted helicopters and airplanes, aerial surveys are used in cartography, topography, feature recognition, archaeology and GIS applications providing information on terrestrial sites that are often difficult, or even impossible, to see or measure from the ground. Small UAV operators are quickly finding a foothold in digital photogrammetric mapping and ortho photography services due to the enormous cost savings realized using small unmanned systems capable of carrying a variety of visual imagery payloads that can go slower and lower than much larger traditional aircraft.
Using drones in precision agriculture and crop surveillance can drastically reduce the time required walking the fields and high cost of using commercially piloted aircraft. Armed with specialized cameras that are capable of capturing specific wavelengths of infrared video, small unmanned aerial system operators are able to see contrasting colors that indicate the overall health of crops in the field. Areas of concern can be inspected much closer using the same UAV for verification, problem diagnosis and even delivering localized spot treatment. Farmers using unmanned aerial vehicles to surveil crops are reporting higher yield, reduced plant damage and lower costs, which is good for everyone.
Utilities companies have used commercially piloted aircraft, like airplanes and helicopters, to inspect hundreds of miles of electrical lines, towers and remote substations as well as oil and gas pipelines and pumping stations. Small unmanned systems equipped with cameras and video transmitters are now replacing much of the routine inspection that was very expensive and often dangerous to the pilots and inspectors.

It isn't uncommon to see movie stars and supermodels getting together—it's like a moth to a flame. That's why it wasn't much surprise when actor Richard Gere started dating supermodel Cindy Crawford, despite their 17-year age difference. When the celebrity couple first met in 1988, Gere was already a popular actor with several hit films (like Oscar winner An Officer and a Gentleman), and Crawford had already established a successful modeling career. When they met, Crawford was in her early 20s and Gere was nearing 40.
Even with their significant age difference, the celebrity couple married in December 1991. But after only three years of marriage, Gere and Crawford's relationship started to fall apart and their divorce was finalized in 1995—he was 42 and she was only 25.
When asked what went wrong in their marriage, Crawford didn't have to think twice—it was their 17-year age difference that tore them apart. "I just think your twenties, for women, is such a time when you're starting to come into your own and feel your own power and connect to your inner strength, and it's hard to do that—it's hard to change—in a relationship, because what one person might have signed up for, all of a sudden, you're not that anymore," explained Crawford. She admitted that as she got older, she started feeling the need to be her own person, rather than follow behind as a movie star's young wife.
Gere also admitted that he rushed into marriage, even though it probably wasn't the wisest move because they both wanted different things. "I married her because I didn't want to lose her. But we didn't have the perfect marriage—it wasn't happening as well as either of us wanted."
Crawford went on to marry again in 1998, this time to model Rande Gerber, who is only four years older. They have two children together. Gere went on to marry actress Carey Lowell, who is 11 years younger, in 2002. While Crawford's second marriage is still going strong, it was revealed in September 2013 that Gere and Lowell were separating because of different lifestyle preferences—she enjoyed life in the spotlight, while he preferred to stay low-key.

Oh not in this house… we don't do DIY SOS we do DIY TT. The TT standing for Temper Tantrums. To cut a long story short when we moved in our home back in 2002, even though the kitchen was square, the previous owners had put units down two of the sides and then an island in the middle that went from the back wall to three quarters of the length of the kitchen. Yes, we had loads and loads of cupboard space… but we didn't have room in the kitchen once our Tibetan Mastiff decided to lay either by the cooker or by the sink.
And of course the other problem was…. the cooker was under the window and the sink was the other side of the room, and you had to navigate around the island to get to the sink with hot pans… not very safe…. believe me, especially if the dog decided to lay down in the kitchen, which he often did when you cooked.
So as we couldn't afford to have a major kitchen refit… hubby decided to buy some units, fit them and remove the island. Yes, we lost cupboard space and we still had to walk across the kitchen from the cooker to the sink to drain stuff… but it was a lot better than trying to have navigate around that island.
New kitchen… new floor and hey presto we thought that it was for a good few years. But alas no!!! Unfortunately, our Tibetan Mastiff died and we decided to get two Golden Retriever puppies… who loved dismantling the kitchen… bit by bit. Kickboards first, then the corner of a cupboard door and then the floor. First of all the tiles were gradually being removed and finding their way to their bed and next the hardboard flooring that was laid for the tiles.
And if that wasn't even… the pups then decided that architrave had a wonderful taste to it and plaster was like eating Ferrero Rocha, tasty… so three door frames were attacked.
Honestly it was awful… I hated having anyone for dinner the past two years… because I was ashamed of the kitchen…. but we knew that doing the kitchen too soon would be just a waste of money. So we have waited until the puppies got older and got out of their teething habits.
Determined that this Christmas, I would not serve up dinner from a half eaten kitchen… I nagged him to do the kitchen. We could have replaced the doors that were half eaten easily as I had white Country Pine (as pictured to the left) which you could still buy from B & Q, but due to arthritic hands… trying to clean those grooves was getting too painful, so we opted for new doors.
I wanted doors that didn't have any mouldings to them… just plain and simple and easily wipeable. Nothing fancy…. as we don't intend to spend our entire days at this house, as we both want to move closer to the sea and into a bungalow. So we plummeted for White Gloss Slab.
We had debated as to whether to go for Cream Doors, but I didn't think they would go with the existing worktops we had, so White Gloss Slab was the only one that caught our eye.
Doors decided upon, colour of paint decided upon, so next job… getting him motivated. Yes, it was quite a big job as he had to remove the old architrave and replace it with a new one.
So two days booked as holiday from work and kitchen fitting he would go. The old architrave came off easily… and the new one went on smoothly until it came to a piece that was over the cupboard door. Could he bang a nail in it? NO… he tried and tried and still the bloody bit wouldn't nail to the piece of wood that was there…. so No More Nails it was to be… hoping that would hold it firm enough to drive a securing nail through it….. NO such luck.. By this time frustration was taking over and tempers were getting frayed. In the end, there was this almighty loud hammering coming from the kitchen with swear words galore, that I couldn't repeat on this blog… and he really threw his toys out of his pram and spat his dummy out.
Of course, the only thing he achieved was a busted work bench
My son and I sat in the lounge… and we couldn't keep our faces straight… and then he appears through the door and says, 'That's made me feel better.' The dogs by this time had decided that the safest place when this hammer-wielding maniac was on the loose was to stay in the garden and peer through the kitchen door and see what was happening.
Of course, his temper tantrum has solved one problem, I now know what to buy him for Christmas …. a new work bench, preferably hammer resistant, if they do one.
As he had to remove the architrave around the doors, we decided to have new skirting boards as well. Well, they went on smoothly and his bits of plastering which the dogs had chewed off, again went without any hitches. In fact, they blended in quite well, as we thought they might not match the walls and would look odd. But surprise, surprise, things started to go smoothly.
And he has now replaced the doors, fitted the handles – after a trip to B & Q to buy bigger knob screws – and aligned the doors. New blinds have been fitted… and we are now on the home run.
Our new floor gets laid at the end of November and then all there is to do, is replace the kickboards, and put the doors on the understairs cupboard. He would have loved to have got that finished, but due to the thickness of the floor, that job will have to wait. I would love to have my plinth lights back… but somehow I think that is putting too much temptation in front of these doggies. They had eaten through two sets of the lights when pups… and as they love attacking things that sparkle, plinth lights are out of the window for now.
However, I do have to say, after the major temper tantrum and his hard work, the whole kitchen looks a whole lot better… and is sufficient enough should we sell the house in the future. Mind you I can't wait until the floor gets laid… and for the whole project to get finished.
And I wanted this done so that I didn't have to serve dinner from a half eaten kitchen… and guess what? I'm eating out on Christmas Day 😀 😀 😀 Oh well it needed to be done.

European leaders expressed shock, sorrow and solidarity with Britain after a suspected terrorist killed 22 people in a horrific explosion at a concert hall in Manchester on Monday night.
But there was a more subtle point made by a number of continental leaders: We may have had our differences since Brexit, but confronting terrorism isn't one of them.
Chancellor Angela Merkel said the "incomprehensible" attack would only strengthen Germany's resolve "to continue working together with our British friends to move against those who plan and carry out such inhuman acts." Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel ended a tweet saying "united we stand."
France's new President Emmanuel Macron made a similar point that France would continue cooperating with Britain in the fight against terrorism. And EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in a statement said "we will work side by side with you to fight back against those who seek to destroy our way of life."
Such pledges of cooperation were not necessarily to be expected as the European Union's 27 remaining members and Britain prepare to go separate ways in less than two years. Negotiations, which have yet to properly begin between Brussels and London, have been bitter amid sharp disagreements over money owed, the fate of Brits in the EU and of EU citizens in Britain.
World leaders react to the #manchesterattack as police investigation continues. pic.twitter.com/2icgGP6nwu
— Handelsblatt Global (@HandelsblattGE) May 23, 2017
Even on security matters, continued cooperation was not a foregone conclusion. While similar calls for solidarity were made after the London Westminster attack in March, negotiations took another nasty turn just a week later. British Prime Minister Theresa May in her letter to Brussels at the end of March, formally announcing Britain's exit from the EU, warned a failure to reach a comprehensive Brexit deal "would mean our cooperation in the fight against crime and terrorism would be weakened."
Some European officials suggested her comments amounted to blackmail – bargaining security ties in exchange for a better deal on trade. "It would be outrageous to play with people's lives in these negotiations. This has not been a good start by Theresa May. It feels like blackmail, but security is a good for all our citizens and not a bargaining chip," Gianni Pittella, leader of the Socialist Party faction in the European Parliament, said at the time.
To be sure, terrorism cooperation doesn't begin and end with the European Union. Britain already cooperates on security and terrorism through a variety of channels that won't be affected by an EU exit. They include through the NATO military alliance and Britain is also a member of the "Five Eyes" alliance, an intelligence-sharing agreement between the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
But intra-EU cooperation runs even deeper, especially when it comes to more traditional law enforcement, and security experts and lobby groups have warned against letting that slip once Brexit is completed. The EU countries are all members of Europol, essentially a European version of the FBI, and are signatories of an arrest-warrant system in which suspects can be automatically transferred between EU countries. Britain has said it wants to remain part of the arrest-warrant system, and there have been considerations about whether it can remain part of Europol in some form too.
Manchester's devastating attack, coming on the heels of attacks this year in France, Stockholm, Dortmund and Berlin in December, serves as yet another reminder that terrorism and security cooperation in Europe should not fall by the wayside.

The activities cover everything from historical societies to spas with cooking classes thrown in for good measure. Make your next trip to Napa one to remember with this guidance from some great Traveling Vineyard wine guides!
When they are not visiting gorgeous spots like Northern California, the Traveling Vineyard wine cards are sharing the vino love through their always fun wine tasting events. If you are wondering if joining the Traveling Vineyard is a good choice for you, just ask yourself two questions, do you like wine, and do you like fun? The business model makes room for both in abundance and the entire guide role is based upon sharing your wine tasting knowledge with others. From learning, and teaching, more about what grape varietals make up popular blends, to which wines go best with certain cuisines, the wine guide makes learning fun.
From a Twitter account that is filled to the gills with fun-filled shots of wine tasting events to earning free trips, the Traveling Vineyard wine guides sure seem to have a ton of fun! The business model is tailor-made to those looking to pick up some extra cash doing something that they enjoy, but it has worked so well that many guides are opting to pursue the gig full-time. This is a career path that can be filled with monetary success as well as opportunities to expand one's network and learn a lot about wine and the wine-making process. Traveling Vineyard makes learning fun and it also provides the chance to travel the globe while enjoying many different and wonderful wines. Napa Valley is just the beginning of where Traveling Vineyard can take you as a traveling wine guide.

Set Visit: Serenity
With his latest project, SERENITY, prolific writer/director Joss Whedon looks to prove he can achieve success outside the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Of course, Buffy isn't exactly the easiest act to follow. Adored by both critics and audiences alike, the show became the WB Network's centerpiece, made Sarah Michelle Gellar a star, and spawned a popular spin-off.
Whedon's next project, the sci-fi/western hybrid "Firefly", didn't fare as well, lasting only 11 episodes before Fox pulled the plug. When a defiant Whedon announced his intention to take Firefly to the big screen, even his most ardent fans couldn't help but be skeptical about the show's feature film prospects.
He found a believer in Universal. Encouraged by the show's strong DVD sales, the studio wrested the rights from Fox, gave Whedon the greenlight and Serenity was born. The film follows the same basic storyline as the series: 500 years in the future, the crew of a small but nimble spaceship travels through the universe, transporting dangerous cargo and not asking questions.
Recently, Universal invited JoBlo.com down to their studio lot to visit the set of Serenity and meet with the filmmakers. The scene being shot was a brief fight sequence in which female lead River Tam (played by Summer Glau) sweeps the leg a la The Karate Kid, knocking some unfortunate fool on his ass. Following that was another brief fight sequence set inside a bar, in which Summer, this time aided by some fancy wire work, takes out a few more guys.
Though not featured in any of the day's scenes, lead actor Nathan Fillion was on-hand in case Joss needed him for the occasional background shot. In the meantime, he demonstrated a skill that most working actors develop after spending many a month on a movie set: the ability to catch a nap amidst the noise and chaos.
In between camera setups, Whedon took a break to talk with us about his feature film directorial debut. Though tired and hoarse, he spoke at great length about his experience, providing glimpses of the trademark wit that distinguished his television work.
What are the challenges of adapting a TV series for the big screen?
Its incredibly hard, building a story that doesnt repeat or contradict what weve already done, that satisfies the fans and yet is really made for people whove never seen the show. Theres pitfalls everywhere. Its the hardest story Ive ever had to structure. Writing these people is the easiest thing in the world because I know them so well. The other thing is the TV show is built around slow development of character; movies are built around momentum. Theyre very different things. So you have to sort of take things that you you have to let some things drop and you have to speed some things up and you sort of have to know which ones are which.
Will you be providing some backstory for those who are unfamiliar with the series?
Yes, to an extent. It has a different way of telling the same story. We do Rivers troubles with the Alliance and her integration into the group. We dont repeat the first time they meet or anything like that, but we get the information in a new way. Again, like I said, thats the trickiest part.
As a screenwriter, youve been known to have issues with the way directors have turned your words into film.
Well, after Alien Resurrection, I said, The next person who ruins one of my scripts is going to be me. And I think Im doing a fine job of it. Actually, I think the director has on occasion could have used a little more imagination and the writer could have shut up occasionally. We fight, but were still getting along better than I usually do. (laughs) Its been great, cause unlike TV I have the time to really explore what it is Im doing and go back and reassess every day. Every time you should a scene it affects 50 other scenes. Its constantly shifting, hopefully not so much that it doesnt know where its going.
Whats the most important thing you want to add to make this feel cinematic?
Money. (laughs) You know scope, breadth, a sense that this is not a story either visually or even dramatically that we could have told in an hour on TV.
How does directing action sequences for film differ from doing them for TV?
Its much less of a chore because you have more than half a day to do it. You can actually really set thing up and you can train, you can actually break things, and all kinds of things that we cant afford to do on TV. Thats a big part of making it more cinematic, is letting the action have a lot more scope. Its not just Set up two cameras, what do ya got? which unfortunately on the shows it ends up being a lot of the time.
What are the particular challenges of the action sequence youre shooting today?
The particular challenges are just keeping it real. Its a scene that can easily become over-the-top and Im trying very hard to stay away from a Matrixy kind of aesthetic. So I dont want anybody doing anything that people cant do. I mean to an extent. Fighting is a little more precise, but Im trying to dirty it up as much as possible so that it feels real. And thats very hard to do. Your stuntmen have to be so precise about their timing; its very hard to say, And now also you have to make it look really really ugly. Thats the biggest challenge.
What are some of the influences on the Western aspect of the show?
Its weird because I just read a thing with M. Night where he said McCabe & Mrs. Miller was a big influence on the The Village and Im like, McCabe & Mrs. Miller is influencing a lot of really weird films. That was a big one. Ulzanas Raid was a huge influence. And The Searchers too, both because theyre so uncompromising.
I know you had issues with how Fox marketed Firefly, so how involved are you with the marketing campaign for this?
Very involved. Weve worked together only on the little ComicCon thing we did, but Ive met with all of their divisions and everybody here wants to be on the same page. Theyre incredibly supportive. Companies talk about synergy and the left hand doesnt know what the right hand is doing and hes actually kind of angry about it. And these guys have really sort of worked as a holistic whole, which is really nice. So, I think that should work out better.
How hard was it to get Universal to sign off on this film?
Ive gotta tell you Id like to brag about how well I sold it, but Mary Parent and Universal liked Firefly and the words she used was, This is a no-brainer. She has been supportive of this project since before Id made up the story. And although its taken a lot out of me to get it to where it is its been a real struggle, the support theyve shown has been constant.
Any truth to the rumors that you might be directing X-Men 3? How is your relationship with Fox?
Nobody has approached me about the X-Men franchise. My relationship with the film division I havent really worked with them in a long while. My relationship with the network? Not so great. But my deal is with the Television Production so weve had a good relationship for years. We did Buffy, Angel and Firefly together, and that seems fine. I dont really have a relationship besides the Television Production
Is film more stressful than television?
Well, its been as stressful. I thought it would be less stressful. I thought Id be golfing in between takes and writing sonnets. Two things have not worked in my favor. One is, although I dont have three shows to run and believe me, nothing will ever be as hard as that was the movie takes up your attention in a way that three shows do. All of the creative energy that youre usually pouring into telling 20 40 stories a year, youre pouring into one. And you find you need it. You wake up in the middle of the night and you go, His pants are too baggy! And its important. You have to watch everything so carefully because every mistake you make is gonna be forty feet high. Whenever you think, Well, maybe thats good enough, I say to myself, Cinerama Dome.
Whats the status of the Buffy animated series?
A presentation is being made. It hasnt been bought anyway, but its still in the creating stages. So its still possible
At ComicCon you said that it would be difficult to take Firefly back to the small screen. Do you feel that you would have a hard time going back to television in general? And you like to maybe direct the X-Men franchise if it was offered to you?
Would I like to make an X-Men movie? Thatd be bitchin. You know I actually really like those actors and really like those characters and I think theres a lot that could be done (with them). But Im not setting my sights on that. I have my sights set on exactly one thing, which is this. I am totally prepared to go back to TV. Not 24/7 as I did in the first years of Buffy, but now Ive learned enough about surrounding yourself with the right people and delegating that I can actually run a show without ruining my life. TV is a medium that I love in a very different way than I love movies. The things that I cant do in this movie, the smaller moments, the long protracted interaction, watching people change over the years. Ive waited my whole life to make movies, but movies dont do that.
What is the status of The Buffyverse TV movie?
We havent really heard anything. Obviously theres been a regime change at the WB. The fans are interested. Im interested. I dont think either Sarah or David would want to do it, but I think theres 10 other characters I could name who would be totally worthy of movies, and Im just waiting for somebody to say yay or nay.
Would you write or direct them?
I would certainly be involved. I would never let one of those stories be told without overseeing things.
Do you intend for Serenity to be a stand-alone project? Or part of a trilogy?
I look at it as a stand-alone. You cant help but especially because it comes from the series think about all the things you want to do. But everybody says, Is this going to be a trilogy? They dont even say, Is there gonna be a sequel? Its trilogy they go straight to trilogy. And Are you gonna shoot the second and third back-to-back? Umm, movie might suck. Lets start at point A. I think of this as an absolute one-shot. Could it sustain more stories? Well, obviously I designed their world and these characters in this ensemble to sustain ten years worth. So yeah, there could be more. Wed love to do more. We have to make this one good enough to deserve that. That is the only thing that Im thinking about.

Treatment of Chronic Constipation in Children
If your child has not had a bowel movement for quite some time, medications are often needed to help empty the rectum. Most children can be managed with medications given by mouth (reviewed at the end of this tool), but some need suppositories or enemas which are put directly into the rectum. Which medications are recommended will depend on your child's age, how long your child has been constipated, and how much stool has built up in the rectum. In rare cases, children need to be admitted to the hospital to have this done.
Your doctor will help you figure out the best way to empty your child's rectum.

"From one majestic end page to the other, in an almost wordless, stunning presentation, this much-loved Aesop's Fable comes to life with clarity of the heart and emotion for both animals' trials and entwined kindnesses. Amazing!"
— Ellen Mager, Booktenders Children's, Doylestown, PA
The Caldecott Award-winning and New York Times bestselling fable of compassion and kindness retold by acclaimed artist Jerry Pinkney. In award-winning artist Jerry Pinkney's wordless adaptation of one of Aesop's most beloved fables, an unlikely pair learn that no act of kindness is ever wasted. After a ferocious lion spares a cowering mouse that he'd planned to eat, the mouse later comes to his rescue, freeing him from a poacher's trap. With vivid depictions of the landscape of the African Serengeti and expressively-drawn characters, Pinkney makes this a truly special retelling, and his stunning pictures speak volumes.

Praise For…
* "Pinkney enriches this classic tale of friendship with another universal theme - family - affectingly illustrated in several scenes as well as in the back endpapers... African species grace splendid panoramas that balance the many finely detailed, closeup images of the protagonists. Pinkney has no need for words; his art speaks eloquently for itself."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
* "A nearly wordless exploration of Aesop's fable of symbiotic mercy that is nothing short of masterful... Unimpeachable."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
* "Pinkney's luminous art, rendered in watercolor and colored pencil, suggests a natural harmony... The ambiguity that results from the lack of words in this version allows for a slower, subtle, and ultimately more satisfying read. Moments of humor and affection complement the drama. A classic tale from a consummate artist."—School Library Journal, starred review
* "By retelling Aesop's fable entirely in his signature pencil and watercolor art, Pinkney encourages closer exploration of the pleasing detail with which he amplifies it... It will be a challenge for libraries to make every gorgeous surface available, but it's a challenge worth taking on."—The Horn Book, starred review

He appears to be in good form at home & Andrew Mullen knows him, so our only slight concern today is that he has never ran at Kempton before, but providing he handles the surface then we are hopeful that he will be involved again today."

The Osprey Ultralight Stretch Stuff Sack 12 is a stuff sack that allows for the odd shaped items. Equipped with stretchy side panels, this stuff sack is flexible and allows for a little bit of give. Stuff in that weird item and still close the top. Rectangle in shape, yet moves to accommodate.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.

When it comes to the color of penguins' feathers, the issue is not black and white. For years, many of us thought that penguins always have black and white feathers. In fact, other than their lack of flight, it's probably their most defining characteristic. If someone drew you a picture of a bird and made a point of coloring it black and white, you would assume they were trying to draw a penguin. While this feather pattern is true the vast majority of the time, there is a rare exception that has to be seen to be believed.
While traveling the Lindblad region of Antarctica, a group of explorers came across a rare "blonde" penguin that the Internet has absolutely fallen in love with. While "blonde" is not the official scientific term, it's the best adjective we've come up with for this unique specimen.
This little guy is an otherwise normal chinstrap penguin, but its blonde coat has made it the talk of the iceberg. Its feathers are a direct result of something called "isabellinism," a mutation that dilutes the pigment in its feathers. This is different than albinism, which means that no melanin is produced throughout the animal's entire body. Here, the melanin is prevented from being produced in the feathers only.
Even though this penguin is different, it doesn't seem to be having any trouble fitting in with the rest of the colony. Check out the pictures below for an up-close look at this awesome bird.
Everyone thinks that all penguins are black and white, but that's far from true. While most penguins look like this, there is a rare penguin every once in a while whose feathers are a beautiful shade of blonde.
National Geographic was leading a cruise through Antarctica when tourists and explorers spotted this rare penguin on one of the South Shetland Islands. At first glance, the bird seems like it's albino, but scientists knew that the explanation was a little more complicated than that. P. Dee Boersma, a penguin expert at the University of Washington, said that "though the penguin looks like an albino, the bird actually appears to have isabellinism."
As you can see, there is still some color present in its feathers, whereas an albino penguin would be entirely white. Since its mutation prevents melanin from being produced in the feathers, the result is "a 'uniform lightening' of a bird's dark colors, turning the animal a grayish yellow or pale brown," said a study on isabellinism.
This penguin looks different, and it's not afraid to let the world know.
Boersma also said that "many species of penguins have a few rare individuals with this color pattern."
David Stephens
Considering how rare these penguins are, we're just glad that we got to see one captured on film.

Narragansett Pier terminal; now a laundromat and apartments. This can be found about 2 blocks from the seashore and pier. Photo by Mike Palmer, June 2013.
The Narragansett Pier Railroad was first chartered in 1868, and was completed in 1876. It ran from the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad mainline in Kingston to Narragansett Pier, at a length of about 8 miles. Passenger service was strong in its early years, as it served a resort at Narragansett Pier; it also carried freight.
Passenger service along the line ceased in 1952; all operations along this former Class III railroad ended in 1981.

Medical Billing and Coding Specialist
A career in Medical Billing & Coding focuses on the business, administrative, and office side of the medical profession.
Every time a patient receives healthcare, a code to each diagnosis and procedure is properly assigned. Classification manuals and computer software are used to aid in this task. Medical Billing and Coding Specialists (MBCS) are responsible for completing medical records, assigning diagnosis codes, submitting medical insurance claims, and entering patient charges, payments, and adjustments. In smaller practices, Medical Billing and Coding Specialists may also be responsible for greeting patients, scheduling appointments, and overall office support. Those working in larger billing companies may use automated systems with electronic health records and have limited patient interaction. PSI's Medical Billing and Coding Specialist program prepares students in the proper use of ICD-10-CM and CPT insurance coding.
Most Medical Billing and Coding professionals work in physicians' offices, managed healthcare companies, and insurance companies. There are also job opportunities in outpatient care centers, hospitals, medical clinics, and third party billing companies.
Professional Skills Institute combines qualified instruction with the medical facilities, equipment, and instruments you'd find on your first day of work. In addition, a 160-hour externship in actual medical facilities will prepare you with the on-the-job skills you'll need as an important part of any medical team.

It's a cold, dark October 1999 Saturday morning in Sheffield. I walk to the University, where I catch a minibus to the Lancaster Beginners Korfball Tournament. It's the start of a tournament oddessy that will send me criss-crossing around this country from the likes of Bristol, Nottingham, Oxford, Edinburgh and even Milton Keynes, then on to Holland. I'll have some extraordinary adventures along the way, but a bare trophy cabinet. The closest is the 2013 Bristol Tournament Final, where despite Dave warning me about my opponent being a dangerous scorer, I manage to concede a goal within the first 6 seconds. We lose by one goal :-(
Present Day
16 years on and the ongoing mission to win something, anything, carries on to the Velocitas tournament. A major setback is when Liv has to pull out on the day of the flight, to concentrate on her thesis :-( We meet at the airport and board an Easyjet flight, with some of the most annoying people in the history of humanity. The sort of people who you're so ashamed to be from the same country, that relinquishing British citizenship seems the only sensible thing to do. We eventually get to the Velocitas clubhouse, meet up with Ellie :-) and have a few beers. At midnight, the hotel people sensibly go to bed, after arranging to return at 9.45am for our scheduled 10.30am first game. However for me and Dave, the next few hours are an unexpected delight; we meet up with Bearstead and have fun by hyping up the following day's match between the two sides, sliding down a children's slide together, trying to reenact the lift from Dirty Dancing as '(I've Had) The Time Of My Life' played in the background and finished by comparing knee scars (I win). We make a drunken bet with Bearstead, that whoever lost the pool match on the Saturday between us, would buy a round of drinks for the winning team. Nothing can go wrong now.
It's Saturday morning; I wake up at 9.15am and stroll to the information board where the fixtures have been displayed. Due to teams pulling out, the fixtures have been completely rearranged and we're now playing at 9.30am - in 15 minutes time. The current Manchester Korfball Team entirely consists of a half awake me and Dave who's a few yards away munching on a ham sandwich. A few slightly panicked phone calls and a late start, means that the rest of the team make it to an opening victory over Albatross. Next The Bearstead Match - I crumble under the pressure of the drunken drinks bet, don't play well and we lose. We obviously win as a team and lose as a team, but it was all Dave's fault for missing loads of chances. The dream of winning the pool and the Holy Grail of a trophy is seemingly gone and more annoyingly, me and Dave now have to buy Bearstead a round.
We showcase outstanding bouncebackability by triumphing against Velocitas 8/9, before we face a Mum's and Dad's team that commit so many fouls, it would make Dewey shudder. To be fair, Dave has a quite magnificent game and we win. The chairman on Velocitas comes over to meet us and I make an ambassadorial speech about how everything is awesome at Velocitas. We find out that miraculously, the other results have gone for us; Bearstead have lost to the Mum's and Dad's team and it looks like we can still win the trophy, depending on Bearstead's final game. We then re-read the rules whilst on our third post match beer and after already sending victory texts back to Manchester, to find out that if points, goal scored and goal difference are level, then they'll be a penalty shoot out! I check the league table on multiple occasions, until the Bearstead result comes in. We have won the pool :-)
Just after 4.30pm, the decisive moment occurs, as I go forward as captain to lift the trophy. Jon and Josie offer to document the greatest and proudest moment of my korfball career, by taking photos of it. Unfortunately, I manage to turn in the wrong direction away from the Wright paparazzi and my finest hour is captured for posterity by a picture of my back. Fortunately a few minutes later, we get together for a team photo with the trophy that is so joyous, it ranks as one of the greatest photos I've ever been on. I'm definitely framing it.
There is then a few magic hours where we're sat on the grass eating recently BBQ-ed food, cold beer in hand, on a warm golden sunlit evening, surrounded by really good friends (and Dave) with our trophy in the centre. (Look I know I'm gushing but give me a break, I've just spent 16 years trying to win a tournament trophy!)
As day becomes night, Bearstead join us and we start our new fun game of 'Teasing Bearstead'. This takes the form of in the drinking game 21 changing the number 12 to 'trophy', walking up to them when 'Walking On Sunshine' is being played looking really smug and generally mentioning our victory/brandishing our trophy on multiple occassions. We make this up to them later, by buying them the drunken bet drinks that we promised them.The rest of the night is a fun, slightly blurry, night. A covers band provides the evening's entertainment; showcasing an eclectic playlist of everything from 4 Non Blondes 'What's Going On' to a triumphant 'Wonderwall'. Inbetween a DJ plays more random music; Ellie has a brilliant photograph of me, Dave and Jon all doing different dance moves to The Macarena at the same time. Some of the Croydon lads, get up on the stage at the end and do a topless YMCA. I think it's time to go to bed.
I wake up in my tent on Sunday feeling a little bit tired and with a slightly sore head (actually, I felt like crap). After making friends again with Bearstead (as they drove off, I waved the trophy at them; they delightfully shouted "f### off Manchester") we travelled by train to the city of Utrecht, where we spent a delightful afternoon visiting the cathedral, wandering around the charming streets and hiring canoes to paddle around the canalways. Jon was so impressed, that he named Utrecht in his his Top 5 World Cities (along with Middlesbrough and Macclesfield, obviously) We then traveled to where Ellie lives in the Dutch countryside; a charming small village called Middelaar. And on the Monday, we sauntered around a beautiful lake near where Ellie lives, before a flight back to Manchester from Eindhoven, that even Dave made.
I had an awesome time. I hope we can go back to Velocitas someday.

The Effects of Residential Segregation during Childhood on Life Chances
- Rucker Johnson, Goldman School of Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley
- Goldman School of Public Policy Working Paper (May 2012)
Human capital accumulation may depend on the neighborhood in which one grows up through a
variety of channels, including access to school resources, health and social service funding,
neighborhood crime, peer and role model effects, proximity to a chemical dumping ground or
related environmental hazards, and connectedness to job networks and informal sources of
support. This paper provides new causal estimates of the effects of racial residential segregation
during childhood on subsequent adult attainment outcomes. I account for the potential
endogeneity of segregation and neighborhood location choice using instrumental variables based
on 19th Century railroad track configurations, historical migration patterns, political factors, and
topographical features. Following Ananat (2011), it is shown that cities that were subdivided by
railroads into a greater number of physically-defined neighborhoods became significantly more
segregated after the Great Migration of African-Americans to northern and western cities. To
examine the consequences of segregation during childhood, this study analyzes the life
trajectories of children born since 1950 and followed through 2009. Data from the Panel Study
of Income Dynamics (PSID) spanning four decades are linked with information on neighborhood
attributes and school quality resources that prevailed at the time these children were growing up.
Results from 2SLS/IV models demonstrate that, for blacks, the level of racial residential
segregation during childhood negatively impacts subsequent educational attainment, reduces the
likelihood of high school graduation, increases the probability of incarceration, reduces adult
earnings and the likelihood of intergenerational mobility, increases the annual incidence of
poverty in adulthood, and leads to worse health status in adulthood; segregation effects for
whites were not statistically significant across each of these outcomes but the point estimates were
in the opposite direction of the corresponding estimates for blacks. The results are consistent
with prior research that has found that increased segregation leads to more inequality in spending
across districts of the same MSA, thus worsening the relative position of poorer districts.
