John Thornton won my heart
I listened to the audio book and this story is a must read or listen to. John Thornton, who is travelling to Spain to save his mill, runs into Miss Hale who is also travelling to the same location. She is injured and travelling alone, so Mr. Thornton travels as her brother. We get to know John's mother , Hannah more thoroughly as well as Frederick (Margaret's brother) and his wife. I fell in love with the honorable, honest, strong John Thornton more than ever during this story. It was so well put together. I recommend this to anyone who loves Darcy, yes Darcy, as he is a Darcy in a later age. The narrator Ana Clements did a phenomenal job bringing the characters to life and brought out the nuances of the story with such skill. I highly recommend the audiobook and highly recommend this story to lovers of JAFF and Darcy.

A Spicy Spanish Adventure
What did you love best about No Such Thing as Luck?
With a voyage, an accident, an exotic location, a villain, a fist-fight, a wedding, a death, a fugitive, the threat of execution, and plenty of steamy make-out sessions, NSTAL makes a fine plot for a blockbuster film. I loved that Margaret and John rediscover each other in locations foreign to them. It's adventurous with a dash of danger. I loved the flamboyant villain, Jiro. Jiro's machinations only prove John to be the the brave and selfless knight in shining armour we know he can be, and who doesn't swoon at that? We're also introduced to some new characters on the voyage, and we meet Frederick and his family in Spain. Plus, there's plenty of John and Margaret makeout sessions!
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
There can be too much of a good thing though. For me there was a bit too much kissing too early in the story. Part of the fun is the angst, so I would have preferred a slower burn.There's also a bit too much plot. There's a lot of action, which can actually be a great thing for most readers, but I'm old-school so I prefer to explore a character's inner world a bit more.
What does Ana Clements bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
Ana Clements is an accent wizard, seamlessly transitioning from Northern to Southern, Spanish to French. She brought the right touch of tenderness and heat to John and Margaret's more intimate moments. I found her tone and rhythm relaxing. She definitely gets a thumbs up from me.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, I laughed at several places. But if you've read Nicole's books, that's to be expected. :)

Great! - Recommended
I'd recommend this for fans of North and South as the story is very sympathetic to the original book. The characters felt very true to their counterparts in the original version and I could easily picture them in my mind's eye in this variation.
I felt that the narrator's performance of Mr. Thornton sounded very monotone in the beginning but I soon got used to it. I liked the subtle northern accent which was well done.
I loved the story line and I wouldn't hesitate to buy more from the author.
I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy.

Excellent Listen!!!
I really enjoyed listening to this book. I haven't listened to many Victorian Romances (mid 1800's) but found this one to pull me in. I thought the story was very well written.
John Thornton and Margaret Hale were two endearing characters. I loved Thornton for how chivalrous and honorable he was, and for what he was willing to sacrifice.
Regarding the narrator, Ana Clements. I was impressed with her multitude of various character voices and accents she performed. I love it when a narrator has distinguishable characters.
One of my favorite parts of the book was near the ending when Margaret and Mrs. Thorton met at White Chapel.
I was given a copy of this audiobook and selected to write my review. I will definitely look for more books by both the author and narrator.

Seasonal Affective Disorder
SAD stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder. Although most people feel a little down when winter hits, SAD sufferers have symptoms that are severe enough to disrupt their lives.
What is Seasonal Affective Disorder?
It is common for dull weather and short daylight hours to dampen your mood. Seasonal Affective Disorder (or SAD) is when the winter weather affects your mood so much that you feel depressed.
- Sleep problems: oversleeping (but not feeling refreshed) and difficulty staying awake, or in some cases disturbed sleep and early morning wakening
- Lethargy: too tired to cope, everything becomes an effort
- Overeating: craving for carbohydrates and sweet foods leading to weight gain
- Depression: feelings of despair, misery, guilt, anxiety, hopelessness, normal tasks become frustratingly difficult
- Social problems: avoiding family and friends, irritability, inability to handle stress, feeling emotionally numb, loss of libido
- Physical symptoms: often joint pain or stomach problems and a lowered resistance to infection
- Behavioural problems: extemes of mood and short periods of overactivity in spring and autumn.
When does it start?
The symptoms tend to start around September and last until April. They are at their worst in the darkest months.
What causes it?
It is said to stem from the lack of bright light (daylight and sunlight) in winter, causing a biochemical imbalance in the brain.
Who does it affect?
Roughly 2% of the population of Northern Europe suffer badly, with many more (10%) suffering milder cases. Across the world the incidence increases with distance from the equator, except where there is snow on the ground when it becomes less common. More women than men are diagnosed as having SAD. Children and adolescents are also vulnerable.
What treatment is there for SAD?
A perfect cure is going to a brightly lit climate, whether skiing or somewhere hot (any excuse for a holiday!)
Otherwise, exposure to bright light every day by using a light box or a similar bright light therapy device may help. For most people, sitting in front of a light box for between 15 and 45 minutes a day (not staring at the light but allowing it to reach their eyes) will be sufficient to alleviate the symptoms. Some sufferers also need treatment with antidepressant medication.
Should I talk to my doctor?
Yes. They can tell you where the NHS specialist SAD clinics are in the UK, and help you seek treatment.

Stealing a moment out of what would be a long day, she idly chewed on a blade of sweet grass, gazing across the vast grasslands and rolling hills. Clouds dotted a spare sky, their scattered shadows skittering across an undulating prairie. What had happened this morning, although distressing, must be seen as only a temporary setback. What she must keep in mind, first and foremost, was that someday this would all be hers.

SOURCE: World Surveillance Group Inc.
May 08, 2014 17:00 ET
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL--(Marketwired - May 8, 2014) - The following is a statement by World Surveillance Group Inc. (PINKSHEETS: WSGI) President and CEO, Glenn D. Estrella.
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
From the day I joined WSGI (WSGI or the Company) in June 2010, I accepted the challenge of taking a company with an extremely troubled past, one that had no hard assets and no revenues, and making it into one that can compete in the growing global markets of communications and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). My goals have been to (i) identify, address and clean up legacy issues, (ii) identify commercially viable products and services in the markets for communications and ISR, and (iii) adequately fund the Company to develop, market and sell such products and services. To accomplish those goals, I formed a strong team that developed a strategic plan to restructure the struggling Company in an attempt to create a sustainable operating company.
Legacy Issues
Our first goal was to identify and address the many inherited legal and financial issues facing the Company that prevented the Company from moving forward. We have been able to resolve many of these legacy issues over the past several years, including the SEC lawsuit. We have settled many of the lawsuits, disputes and claims against the Company, although this has proven to be a financial drain on the Company and has resulted in dilution to our shareholders as shares of our stock were issued to resolve such matters. While there are still several remaining legacy issues that we continue to deal with, the Company is in a position where it can now move forward focusing primarily on the growth of our businesses.
Global Telesat Corp. (GTC)
We were able to accomplish another key step in our corporate strategy in March 2011 by completing the purchase of Global Telesat Corp., after which it became our wholly owned subsidiary. GTC provides mobile voice and data communications services globally via satellite to the U.S. government, defense industry and commercial users. GTC specializes in services related to the Globalstar satellite constellation, including satellite telecommunications voice airtime, tracking devices and services, and ground station construction. As a result of that acquisition, WSGI was immediately able to bolster its balance sheet by adding over $3M in hard assets in the form of satellite processing hardware. Over the past three years, while the ongoing legacy cleanup has continued, we worked on integrating GTC into WSGI. With very little investment funds and after years of hard work, our GTC team created and launched www.gtc-usa.com, GTC's e-commerce mobile satellite solutions portal. GTC has also launched www.gtctrack.com, a subscription based online tracking portal, designed to attract new satellite and GSM tracking customers by offering an easy-to-use interface and compatibility with a wide range of devices. With our strong partnership with Globalstar and access to their new, highly advanced, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network, we believe the opportunity to grow GTC's business is large by tapping into the increasing demand for satellite tracking services. We intend to continue to grow and expand GTC's business by targeting commercial customers through the online portal and through more aggressive advertising and sales efforts. I look forward to GTC expanding its footprint in the mobile satellite solutions market and increasing its market share in the satellite communications and tracking market.
Argus One
As part of our product evaluation, we decided to focus on the development of an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) business focused on a lighter than air (LTA) platform that we believe can provide communications and ISR to large areas of land and sea. For years the Company had been analyzing the most effective technology to successfully operate a High Altitude Long Endurance vehicle and other UAS. We initially funded a program to develop a low- to mid-altitude UAS. The technology ultimately developed by the Company resulted in the Argus One airship, a unique LTA technology on which the Company has filed two patents. Following its construction, the Company then successfully conducted numerous test flights of the Argus One, including flights at a secure U.S. Government facility in Nevada. Unfortunately due to a lack of resources, the Company was not able to continue the development and commercialization of the Argus One on its own. In 2013, the Company was approached by one of our partners with the idea to relocate the Argus One to Ohio to further its development, testing and commercialization utilizing the resources of a consortium of companies focused on aerospace and technology. As a result of this economically efficient concept, WSGI entered into an agreement whereby the Argus One was relocated to Ohio. Under the newly formed Consortium, it is currently undergoing design and system improvements that we believe will lead to future test flights and demonstrations to potential customers. We believe in our LTA technological approach and we intend to refocus on our Argus One program. With large companies like Google and Facebook now focusing on the space, we hope to be able to secure the proper resources to finish its development resulting in a commercially viable product.
Lighter Than Air Systems Corp. (LTAS)
In 2012 while we were working on the Argus One airship, we began to realize that smaller tactical UAS were going to be in demand for both government and commercial applications. Based on this, we set out to develop our own tactical UAS and, during that process, we identified and forged a partnership with Lighter Than Air Systems. This partnership quickly grew into the idea to merge LTAS into WSGI and we acquired LTAS in March 2013. Over the past year, we have been unable to completely integrate the LTAS business into WSGI, primarily due to financial issues, including but not limited to, the ongoing financial drain on WSGI related to legacy issues. As a result of WSGI's inability to adequately fund LTAS, the Principals of LTAS and WSGI came to believe that it would be in the best interest of all parties to look to sell LTAS to a group that could properly fund it so it can grow and develop as we had envisioned.
LTAS Sale and Related Transactions
On May 5, 2014 (Closing Date), WSGI sold LTAS to Drone Aviation Corp. (DAC), a Nevada privately held company, in exchange for $335,000 in cash and 10,000,000 shares of common stock of DAC. WSGI signed a Lock-Up Agreement that includes restrictions on the sale of the shares of DAC by WSGI for a fifteen-month period following the Closing Date, although WSGI will be able to sell a certain volume of shares in the thirteenth through fifteenth month following the Closing Date provided DAC becomes a publicly traded company.
As part of the transaction, the Principals of LTAS and our Director of Business Development have each terminated his or her employment agreements with the Company and Felicia Hess resigned as a director of WSGI. As part of the transaction, the Principals of LTAS each waived certain bonuses, options and accrued wages owing to them from the Company.
On May 5, 2014, the Company also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the sale and purchase of $150,000 of restricted common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $0.007 per share.
On May 5, 2014, the Company also entered into a non-binding term sheet for a registered direct offering of up to $1,000,000 of common stock of the Company with an investor. The offering is subject to, among other things, the filing and effectiveness of a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, registering the shares of common stock of the Company sold in the offering and the parties' agreement to the price per share, which has not been negotiated by the parties prior to the time the Company's Registration Statement goes effective.
Finally, the Company also simultaneously entered into two Consulting Agreements to assist the Company with help restructuring its balance sheet and identifying potential acquisition targets for the Company, among other things. The Company issued an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with such Agreements.
The sale of LTAS resulted largely from (i) the Company's inability to find adequate funding on terms suitable for the growth of the Company (including LTAS), in large part due to the remaining legacy issues on the Company's balance sheet, (ii) the ability to sell LTAS for a price that will supply much needed capital to the Company, (iii) the desire to refocus the Company's efforts on its core competencies, our Argus One program and GTC's business, and (iv) the forging of a strong relationship with the investors in the acquirer who also became investors in WSGI and will provide the consulting guidance to the Company on a going forward basis. WSGI's Board, after reviewing the Company's financial and business situation, its prospects with and without the Transactions, the terms of all of the Transactions and their effects on the Company, believe that the sale of LTAS and the related Transactions are in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and debt holders.
WSGI Future
We are committed to moving WSGI forward by growing GTC's business and accelerating the development and commercialization of the Argus One. As a result of the above transactions, WSGI now has capital to run its business in the near term and has the ability for future growth by accessing additional capital pursuant to the term sheet once an effective registration statement is on file with the SEC, assuming the other conditions of the term sheet are satisfied. The Company also plans on working with the consultants to strengthen the Company's balance sheet through the ongoing clean up of legacy issues such that WSGI will hopefully be able to receive additional funding on satisfactory terms in the future. The consultants will also be working with the Company to identify potential companies to acquire that will advance one or more of the Company's business lines. The consultants WSGI will be receiving advice and guidance from are a group of experts and investors with a proven track record in restructuring and recapitalizing companies in the small- and mid-cap space. We are honored and excited to begin working with our new investors and advisors and look forward to transitioning the results of our soon to be growing business and the improvements in our balance sheet into a reflection in our share price.
Finally, the shares of DAC received by the Company as purchase price in the sale of LTAS are also now a significant asset of the Company and could become more valuable based on the value of the DAC common stock going forward, which will be partly a result of the success of our LTAS business acquired by DAC. WSGI now also has capital to invest to accelerate the development and commercialization of the Argus One and expand the customer base for GTC into additional markets.
We appreciate your continued support as we focus on our core businesses and continue our strategic business transformation of WSGI. We look forward to sharing our future success with you, our shareholders.

Our daily roundup of retirement news your clients may be thinking about.
How to find previous 401(k) accounts
Retirement savers are advised to contact their former employer's human resource department to recoup the 401(k) assets they left with the firm, according to The Motley Fool. Those who don't know their past employer's contact information may need to look for their old 401(k) statement, which has these details, or they may use the National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement Benefits to trace retirement benefits. Clients who can't find their former employer may also consider corporate mergers as the company may have been acquired by another firm. –The Motley Fool
Do-it-yourself retirement planning for the self-employed
For self-employed clients, retirement saving can be challenge but they can start by contributing to an IRA, according to CNBC. However, contributions to a traditional or Roth IRA are limited, and some are not allowed to contribute if their annual income exceeds a certain threshold. Those who cannot contribute to an IRA may consider a SEP IRA or SIMPLE IRA. –CNBC
Saving for retirement? What to watch out for in 2016
Retirement investors can expect financial advisors to put their interest first as the Labor Department is likely this year to implement fiduciary rules for professionals providing retirement advice, according to MarketWatch. More states are also likely to create state-sponsored retirement plans this year, while more employers are expected to adopt an automatic enrollment policy for their 401(k) plans. The government and companies will continue to offer financial education and help protect investors and consumers this year. –MarketWatch
Favorite misleading statistic on Americans' retirement savings
While many experts are citing many people's poor retirement saving status in calling for expanding Social Security, the statistic behind this is actually misleading, writes Forbes contributor Andrew Biggs. Based on data from the Government Accountability Office, 52% of households with a member aged 55 or older have no retirement savings, but researchers failed to point out that many of these households are receiving pension payments, Biggs argues. Many of these households are unable to save because they receive very low income, but poor people are likely to receive Social Security benefits that are equal to their pre-retirement earnings based on a report from the Congressional Budget Office, he explains. –Forbes
How to navigate Social Security and optimize your benefits
Couples who are approaching retirement have still options to make the most of their Social Security benefits despite the passage of a new law that scraps two popular claiming strategies which enabled many couples in the past to maximize their benefits, according to the U.S. News & World Report. Some pre-retirees can still use these strategies depending on their birth date, while those who can't need to explore and study other options. Before making a decision, pre-retiree couples need to talk to a financial adviser to know the best strategy available to them. –U.S. News & World Report

My mother-in-law just died and I couldn't be more relieved
20 Apr
My husband was legally adopted when he was nine by his grandparents. They had been the only constant in his life as he was handed off between his biological parents, (not to mention, strangers and steps) passed around over time between eight states spreading across the South East throughout his early childhood.
Although he and I dated as teens, I have only vague memories of his parents from back when. Mostly I remember teenage woes of how strict and insistent that he learn about financial independence early on, which adulthood tells us, are traits of good parenting but at 17 and broke, really suck.
Fast forward thirteen years: While B was ending a ten year marriage and I was sinking in my own troubling sea, somehow he and I found each other. Coming from the same town we had graduated from, we now had two sets of parents to visit together on our trips home. His parents were now in their 70's and 80's. I confided to a friend over brunch my self centered worry. "What if one of his parents dies and I have to see her (ex-wife), at the services?" Looking back, I would welcome that scenario not to mention, how insecure was I!?
A couple of years and some sporadic visits later, nervous about how they would take the news of our upcoming marriage, we sat in the kitchen and told them our plans. I had never sat in the kitchen before. It felt strange to me being somewhere other than the living room. His mother, distracted.
His dad was your typical sweet old man. Lousy jokes and a bit flirty, eager to tell a story from his time as a pilot. Sometimes when B could not come to town with me, I would pop in on my own for a visit and dad would share family stories and secrets. Mother's attention always on CNN, seldom adding to conversations, sitting comfortably in her recliner trying to hear over our chatter. A little forgetful, always freezing, redundant in her concerns for me making the 100 mile drive back home alone.
Holidays come and go. Increasing visits lead to increasing worry. B's dad was pushing to get legal things in order and was not looking well. We began hearing the same stories more frequently, but this time from him. He was drained. I confided in a coworker that the way we all expected the order of things to go was probably not going to happen. I had my black dress mended. I do not always like being right.
Knowing we would probably not make it back to town before B's ski trip we made a detour visit on our way to see my side in San Antonio one weekend. We popped in with some pamphlets on med alerts. His father was angry. What would we be able to do living so far away? He had neighbors he could call on. But that was the point. Push a button and the service will send someone and we will get a call immediately. This was met with curses and confusing money rants that we were not following. We sat stunned at the backlash then in silence for a moment when B's mom chimed in and explained exactly what we were meaning, adding that she sometimes worries when he steps out to run errands. The subject was dropped and very quickly, the visit over.
Part Two: When your Dad dying is the easiest part of what is happening
Two weeks after our awkward visit with B's parents, while at a stop light I scrolled through Facebook to see our sister-in-law had posted that B's dad was in the hospital. I called my husband. He had just gotten off the phone. In an hour we were packed, had a friend lined up to look after the house and on the road, I drove as fast as I could as my husband sat quiet. Not sure when we would return, never could I have guessed that it would be four months later.
B's father had had a heart attack. His mother, Betty, did not call on anyone to come for help even with access to two telephones. Her mind, rocked by a stroke years before was falling apart, being eaten away by dementia. Only able to get around using a walker, unable to stretch over even a small incline, Betty remained trapped in her home, blocked from any exit by her husband's body. Piled newspapers out front alerted the neighbors that something was not right. After a failed attempt to get into the house, their eldest son that lives 7miles away was called with a key, to find dad, still alive, almost to the front door and Betty, dehydrated and soiled, unable to communicate any details of what had happened. Taken off of machines, her husband passed away two days later, his insides unable to recover from the atrophy of waiting so long to be discovered. We had told him before that we would take care of Betty. Even if that meant moving home.
Those two days B and his brother were in and out of the hospital, I was on the phone trying to figure out what to do, not realizing how grave Betty's condition was about to become. Docile and quiet I stayed with her. The idea of sharing duties with my sister-in-law quickly disappeared when she stated that she did not want to stay with mom in the house because it was "creepy". Although 15yrs older than me, her teenage son laughed and said, "my mom is a child." And once B's dad passed away, appearances by them were rare.
My mentality for getting things done became, "if not me than who?" Over the ensuing months I asked once for help to run an errand. I had not showered in a couple of days and was on little sleep. My request was met with blank stares.
We decided to wait to tell Betty her husband had passed. It took a week to get her eating and drinking regularly. One could see her mind trying to make sense. Why were we here? Where is he? She tells me she was scared. She was alone in the house. She says she is glad we are there. She never mentions the heart attack. It is days before she asks for her husband. We say we have not seen him. We say we don't know. We try to get her on a sleeping schedule. The circus arrives in the form of an expensive private care taking company. If the aides were not on drugs, sleep deprived or out of their league completely in skill level, they were sleeping on the job while Betty wandered outside to let the dog out at 5a.m. Instead of depending on them for her primary care, we used them as a back up and even then they failed. CNA's, Hospice nurses, care takers, social workers. They all aggravated her situation.
See Betty walk until her feet swell. See Betty think B is her dead husband. Hear Betty curse me for being the other woman. See Betty break B's heart when she asks, "Why are you doing this?" or "What happens when we want to get married?" See Betty fall, over and over again because she is so weak but her mind will not let her rest. See Betty have a moment of clarity and ask me to drive her to the hospital because something is wrong with her mind. Things are not making sense and she is scared. See that last five minutes. See Betty cry. and cry. and cry. She says she wants a gun to kill herself.
B spends his time in the office still trying to organize his father's affairs. Probate is stifled. Betty must be deemed incompetent. She looks to us for help with the year. The President. When asked to write any sentence out, while I was secretly hoping it would read, "Fuck you", it was a nonsensical, "Usa Today".
B and I are both so. exhausted. Sleeping with a baby monitor by my ear. At the slightest turn I grab my phone to check the cameras. She gets up, I get up to literally catch her as she falls. We share this duty. Similar to having a baby, I make sure she is bathed. I dress her. Set her on the toilet. Clean her after. Fix her hair. Make her meals and snacks. Cut her nails. Rub lotion on body. Wrap her swollen feet. Write everything down. Make appointments. Keep my husband sane. My turn to cry.
Unraveling, B is called back to work. He leaves us both but lived amongst us virtually unseen anyhow. She hates her life. I hate mine too. Too many new faces in and out of the house. We are now both demented. But she is clean and fed and loved because yes, I love her. How could I not? How can one do so much for another without that love? But it is evident this situation cannot last.
Betty tries calling her parents using the remote control. Betty leaves the stove on. Betty is hitting the caretakers. Betty is trying to open the car door while it is moving. Betty put her pen in her tomato juice. Betty is confusing television with real life. No more SVU.
Notes to myself during this period:
6/10 He doesn't tuck me in here. There is no free time to waste. Pushing limits. Surprising ourselves
6/12 It's hard for me to be grateful for all that I have when I know that he isn't and we have all the same things but mainly each other.
6/29 Marriage: The good the bad and the worst get-away-sex ever.
7/3 Now I'm doing it. Fighting sleep. Enough.
7/4 I guess I never think that he misses me or thinks much of our time together
Part Three: The Move
The search begins for a facility. A dear friend and nurse gives me some direction and I take a couple of days to visit my husband and look for the right place. Damn straight I am not leaving her behind. Betty is coming with me. I could give a shit if she knows my name. She knows I take care of her. She looks for me when I am not at home. She calls out to me. When I leave her with her sitters it is with a note because Betty will not remember that I have told her I will be right back. It is what Bruce use to do. I come back. She calms down but only for a moment.
There is no room I am uncomfortable being in now. She asks for Bruce more and more. Now that B has gone the lack of a male in the house has really thrown her. She spends hours, to the caretakers' dismay, searching each room, knocking on doors over and over and over.
I break the news to her other son. I feign like I care what he is feeling. Other than a handful of visits while I was out of town any help or concern for anything other than Betty's financial affairs has been nil. He seems to have a real distain for me. Lucky for me I am use to that.
Her room had already been decorated with her favorite things. Art from her house hung. Statuettes and figurines on the shelf. Flowers displayed. I made sure to drive the staff insane with my demands and inquiries. I am there hours at a time, every day making sure things are on the up and up and getting her settled in. I am quickly disappointed. The big change has accelerated her condition. Though we walked her in, it takes a week for her to be confined to a wheelchair.
The caretakers are hit or miss. Some are good, some are great and others are there for the paycheck alone. But the place is clean and there are nurses on staff until 11pm each night and we still have our Hospice nurses who continue to be great and eventually we get her meds leveled out. The other residents are all in different stages and levels of alzheimer's or dementia. The set up of the home was great. Betty lived in a place called Boat House. There was a front porch, a living room, and a dining room for her wing mates. There were about 12 of them. Everything painted blue and meant to be nautical. The other wings were different. One Garden themed and one Country. There was a pet bird in the corridor, also named Betty and realistic activities for most of the day. The activities director is the Ambassador to the Alzheimer's Association and has been to D.C. as such. There were flowers planted along a circular path and unlocked doors for residents to wander but of course only unlocked within the fortress.
We were lucky to find the place.
Part Four: The Release
There were many ups and downs for Betty but her condition worsened to a worrisome level two weeks ago. She no longer wanted to eat. I had seen her do this before. Pocket her food. I could get her to eat but sometimes feeding her lunch took almost two hours. Then out of the blue she would snap out of it and was back to rolling her eyes and making sassy remarks. I told B to call his brother and suggest a visit, the last one being the month we moved her in, to my knowledge. That was around August. It is now mid April. He did not have the gas money is the excuse relayed to me a few months ago. We decided to hire a private sitter to allow Betty to rest, out of her wheelchair without the fear of a fall for only a few hours a day. She was to start on Monday. The Sunday before we got a call from her Hospice nurse. Betty was in serious decline. We spent the next few days by her side. She was no longer speaking and had not eaten in days. We had never seen her bed ridden. Not like this.
The second day her face relaxed. All her wrinkles disappeared. Everyone commented on her great skin and how comfortable she looked. Her breathing slowed and a fever escalated. We said our goodbyes and cried standing over her on Tuesday talking with our social worker. I told her, "I just want this to be over. I want her to have her whole mind again. She is always so confused and scared and frustrated. She wouldn't want to live like this. No one would want to live like this." I did not want that for her anymore. When I think of eternity or a "heaven", I think about being reunited with the Universe on the next level. Seeing loved ones left behind from that realm not from a puffy cloud in a blue sky, but as energy and dust in the grass, in the air, in the stars. Everywhere. I wanted her spiritual mind to be complete and for her essence to join Bruce's. B and I called the Chaplin to say a prayer and her Hospice nurse told us to get some rest. She said sometimes a person waits until they are alone to let go.
Waiting for a person to die is very similar to waiting for someone to be born. A nurse tells you it is for sure happening. A count of how many breaths (or contractions) a minute is taken. Family comes together and hangs around being of no help. And finally once you leave because it has gone on for hours and hours and seems to have no end in sight you say you'll be back, and that is when it happens. Someone records the time and tells the family it's over. At around 5:00a.m., like fireflies released from a jar, Betty joined her husband once again with no cares and no fears and hopefully no second thought to what's going on down here. Betty, it was an honor.

As for individual use of a personal nature, outside therapeutic treatment, this is where we will find the vast majority of anabolic steroids. It is here we will also find the biggest problems, not in terms of ill-effects of a physical or mental nature but of those surrounding legality. In places like the . anabolic steroids are controlled substances, and here we will find the strictest of laws. This has created a new class of criminal; most commonly an adult man with a family who is simply living an every day life like everyone else. These are issues that need to be discussed and you will find very few are willing to touch them unlike .
Anabolic and androgenic steroids are available as prescription medications to be used in cases in which the body does not make enough hormone and supplementation may be required. Some hormone supplements in this pathway include growth hormone and testosterone itself. These medications are legally prescribed by health-care providers, but this group of drugs is often used illegally and abused to help increase athletic performance and improve body appearance. When used in a well-nourished body, anabolic steroids will cause weight gain primarily due to an increase in muscle mass.

Rideau Hall, Wednesday, May 27, 2015
What a pleasure it is to welcome Your Majesties and the members of your delegation to Rideau Hall in springtime.
On behalf of all Canadians: Welcome to Canada!
Sharon and I are so pleased to see you again and to have this opportunity to return the warmth and hospitality we received during our visits to the Netherlands.
Two years ago, we had the privilege of representing Canada at Your Majesty's investiture. Last fall we met again prior to our participation in the Canadian commemorative ceremony in Bergen-op-Zoom, marking the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the liberation.
Both occasions underscored the enduring strength of the friendship between our two countries.
Your visit to Canada will reinforce that precious bond.
We are delighted that you will be meeting with the people of Ottawa, Toronto and Waterloo over the next three days.
During your time here, you will have an opportunity to meet with Canadians who are involved in business and academia, and to explore possibilities for innovation and partnerships between our two countries.
Working together, we have already achieved great things, but so much more is possible.
I am also pleased to note you will be highlighting the theme of remembrance during your visit, which coincides with the 70th anniversary of the end of the liberation of the Netherlands.
Many Canadians served and made sacrifices during the Second World War, and your presence on this solemn anniversary is very much appreciated.
It truly is a special bond that exists between the people of Canada and of the Netherlands. One in every 30 or so Canadians is of Dutch origin.
Your Princess Margriet was born here in Ottawa, in January 1943, while then-Crown Princess Juliana was in exile in Canada with her daughters.
The young royal family even stayed for a time at Rideau Hall, so this visit is a bit of a homecoming for Your Majesties!
The homecoming today is embraced by so many supporters—Canadian and Dutch—who are here today to welcome you and your delegation. And you will see the legacy of the 100,000 tulip bulbs your Royal Family gifted to Canada after the war.
The people of Canada and the Netherlands cherish human rights, democracy, peace and security.
We are partners in trade and diplomacy, in culture and learning. We trust that your visit will help advance existing partnerships and develop new ones in these areas.
Thank you for coming to Canada and for your contribution to the important friendship between our two countries.

BRUSSELS – U.S. heavy equipment maker Caterpillar says it may close a Belgian manufacturing site and lay off about 2,000 workers, an announcement met with dismay and alarm by employees and the government.
Prime Minister Charles Michel and Economy Minister Kris Peeters were expected to attend an emergency meeting with leaders of the Wallonia regional government, home to Caterpiller's Gosselies site. Paul Magnette, leader of the regional government, sought meetings with unions and company management.
Magnette told local media Friday he was scandalized by Caterpillar's announcement since the Gosselies site had been given government financial support.
In post on its website, Caterpillar said that in line with its September 2015 global restructuring plan, it was considering shifting production of construction equipment now at Gosselies to Grenoble, France, and other facilities outside Europe.

Morrisons braced for profits fall
One of the UK's big four supermarket chains will be in the spotlight next week as attention turns to the state of the under-pressure retail sector.
In a market dominated by special offers and price matching guarantees, half-year results from Morrisons on Thursday are expected to show evidence of a squeeze on the UK's fourth biggest grocery chain.
The Bradford-based firm, which has 455 stores in the UK, has been up against a wounded Tesco looking to bounce back after its first profits warning in 20 years, while Asda has been treading on its toes with the help of recently-acquired Netto stores. German discounters Aldi and Lidl have also expanded into new locations, tempting Morrisons' value conscious customers.
The challenging climate has been reflected in Morrisons' shares, which have fallen 12% this year, wiping some £900 million from its market value. With pressure coming from all sides, the City expects profits for the six months to July 31 to fall 2% to £434 million.
The latest trade data from Kantar Worldpanel shows that Morrisons continued to lose out to rivals in the 12 weeks to August 5. Its overall sales rose 1.8%, giving it a market share of 11.7%, down from 11.9% a year ago.
Shore Capital analyst Clive Black predicts half-year profits of £422 million, which is an even bigger fall than most in the City expect.
Meanwhile, the UK's economic woes will dent profits at one of the UK's biggest rail and bus operators on Thursday. Go-Ahead Group, which runs Southern, Southeastern and London Midland rail services as well as 3,900 buses carrying 1.7 million passengers a day, is expected to report a 4% fall in operating profits to £110.5 million in the year to June 30.
The fall in profits will be caused by weaker trading in its rail division, which accounts for nearly 30% of all UK journeys, as passenger growth has been slowed by the UK's double-dip recession.
The Newcastle-based group's rail arm benefited from average regulated fare rises of 6% at the start of this year but its growth has disappointed the City.
Go-Ahead has warned its rail operations will continue to be affected by the weak economy next year, while it is also facing £6 million of bid costs during a busy period for the re-letting of franchises. However, its bus business has put in a resilient performance, with passenger journey growth of 3% over the year as stronger demand from fare-paying passengers is offset by a weaker performance in concessionary fares.

Saturday, Aug. 26, 2017 was much like all the other annual summer photo sessions out on the Dale and Jenny Koos farm just outside of Dubuque. I captured the family of four in their pasture with their cattle grazing in the background. The kids let the chickens out and danced around them as I snapped away. The kids showed me all around the cattle chute and barn they'd built since I was on their farm for their session last summer. We stopped for photos next to the pigs, and swatted the goat away as he photobombed a family shot. We even got a shot of just mom and dad together when the kids ran off after a family shot and Dale jokingly said, "God forbid we'd get a picture of me and mom." The fun- and love-filled session ended with goodbye hugs and Smarties.
This was their last photo session as a family of four. A day and a half later, the 37-year-old father unexpectedly took his final breaths out on the farm he so dearly loved.
Today, my heart is in Iowa while my body feels stuck in Minnesota as services begin for my long-time loyal L. Photogi and friend, Dale Koos.
I began photographing Dale the day he married my childhood neighbor and friend, Jenny Weber. Because I was always invited out to Dale and Jenny's farm for their sessions, I feel like I always got to see Dale in his true element--surrounded not just by the people he loved most, but the place and things he loved most too. He was a loving and helpful father and husband who cherished his farm, animals, Case IH, and trucking--all things I feel so blessed to have been able to capture in photos for them to hold on to.
(And one photo in color, because what good is a tractor brand loyalty photo if you can't see the color :))
And back where it all began...
Friends, take photos with those you love--you might never know when it'll be your last photo with or of them. Remember to take photos of just mom and dad, even when the kids are cute enough to steal the whole show. Just take photos. And, always share your smile--you just never know who may need it.
Dale, Rest easy--in a place where the weight of the world is gone, you can smile your great smile, and you can keep watch over the beautiful family you created on Earth. Until we meet again, my friend!
Jenny, All my love to you today, and always! I look forward to wrapping you and the boys in hugs again very soon! Until then, remember to put one foot in front of the other.
All the Webers, I'm thinking of you all and SO wish I could be there today to see and hug each of you. Please know I'm sending all my love from Minnesota.

RELIGIOUS leaders in Russia say they have forgiven feminist rockers Pussy Riot for performing a punk prayer in a cathedral.
The three members of the band – Maria Alyokhina, 24, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 29 –were jailed for two years on Friday after being convicted of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred".
They were found guilty of protesting in a Russian Orthodox Church – the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow – against the church leader's support of president Vladimir Putin.
Tikhon Shevkunov, who heads Moscow's Sretensky Monastery, said: "The church has been sometimes accused of not forgiving. We did forgive them from the very start but such actions should be cut short by society and authorities."
Archpriest Maxim Kozlov agreed but added that he hopes the women, and their supporters, will change their ways.
He said: "We are praying and hoping these young women and all the people shouting in front of the court building – committing sacrilegious acts not only in Russia but in other countries – realise their acts are awful.
"Despite this, the church is asking for mercy within the limits of law."
However, both clerics supported the court's decision to prosecute the band.
