Are Social Security Payments Safe from Collection by Creditors?
Find the Right Lawyer for Your Legal Issue!
Fast, Free and Confidential
Find the Right Lawyer for Your Legal Issue!
Fast, Free and Confidential
While a creditor cannot garnish a social security check, if the check is directly deposited into a checking account, and a creditor seizes that account, all money in it, up to the amount that will satisfy the judgment, can be taken. A seized account is "frozen." This means, the debtor cannot withdraw any money from the account. After a set period of time, typically 60-90 days, the money is paid to the creditor.
Unfortunately, banks are not responsible for determining whether your account contains exempt or non-exempt funds. If you feel your social security benefits may be affected by a judgment, you must file an objection with the court having jurisdiction over the judgment, within the time allowed by law. This time period is usually 60-90 days. You must complete and file special forms with the court. Once the courts have obtained proof that your social security benefits are exempt from collection action, the funds will be separated from all collection actions.
A copy of your social security award letter, and a copy of a social security check or similar document should be enough evidence to prove your case. It is important to note that if your checking account is frozen resulting from a judgment and any non-exempt funds are in your checking account at the time your social security benefits are wrongly seized, the non-exempt funds will still be turned over to the creditor to pay the judgment.
The specific requirements for the release of money from a frozen account differ from jurisdiction-to-jurisdiction. To make sure you understand your rights, the procedures involved, and increase your chances of protecting your social security benefits from collection attempts, contact an attorney specializing in social security or disability law.

Warhammer Quest Kingmakers
Kingdom Status
As of Winter 2254.
|Some people are vaguely aware of your state, but don't pay it much attention. With little notoriety or networks, Hammerzeit might stumble on a fact now and then, or through sheer luck change the mind of someone noteworthy.
|The defense of Hammerzeit is left to a well-meaning, loyal, and motivated cadre of Toorsmen scouts, augmented by a militia drafted from hunters/trappers and your Forstrop allies. The three sources of troops – Toorsmen, militia, and Forstrops – are uncoordinated when working together.
|People grudgingly obey you, but most peoples' loyalty is first to kin, then employers, religion, homeland, and then way down at the bottom, Hammerzeit. No one really thinks of themselves as a citizen of Hammerzeit, as most still believe they are only here temporarily.
|Essentially a village with outlying farms, the surrounding land rarely feels the presence of the Hammerzeit government. Thinly populated by people expecting to only be here temporarily, there is little investment in productivity.
|A struggling kingdom working very close to the margin, with little in the way of a fiscal safety net. Tax evasion is rampant. Most of the state's revenue is derived from the kobold silver mine and from selling claims around the gold mine, and aggressive taxation of fur-trading. Access to credit is limited, although Sir Allold always manages to keep some option open.

4/30/2018 – It's Monday and I'm Tired…
Tired vs. Determination
It's Monday and I'm exhausted from a long, packed and fun weekend. I'm tired and want to stay in bed.
But, I've also got things to do today that are important. Things that I'm passionate about. I am determined to get my stuff done.
Determination wins.
"Even a little progress each day adds up to big results."
4/29/2018 – Camp Joel
Good Morning from Lake Isabella!

Life is good.
4/28/2018 – Hug An Australian!

4/26/2018 – A Quick Question…
4/25/2018 – The little things:
"Don't forget to love the small, beautiful moments in life. Even if they happen every day."
This morning I'm drinking the best cup of coffee I've ever had in my entire life. Not sure why it's so good – I used the same water, grinds and coffee maker I use every day. But for some reason it's the most amazing coffee ever.
I wouldn't trade this cup of coffee for a million dollars.
4/24/2018 – Wear it; Share it:
You smile = they smile.
It's that simple.
Step 1: Flex the muscles at the sides of your mouth.
Step 2: Squint eyes and raise eyebrows
Step 3: Think about your awesome life, it makes the smile easier.
4/23/2018 – First of All:
YOU are smart enough to solve any issue or problem that comes your way today.
YOU are in charge of today's outcome and how good or bad is.
YOU have a responsibility to help others today.

4/20/2018 – Time to Get High
Getting High on Life
This is the feeling you get when you realize how amazing your life is.
Anyone can get it. It can be achieved many different ways.

In case you need help remembering:
– You are awesome.
– Your life is awesome.
– Have a great day.

4/18/2018 – Opinions are like butt-holes…
"Opinions are like butt-holes. Everybody has one, and none of them smell very good."
One of my weaknesses is asking 100 different people's opinion before I pursue something. I'm trying to change that, and I'm sharing this butt-hole saying in case you need to hear it too. It's also very funny.
Have a good one,
4/17/2018 – Swing for the fences!
Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!
Today is going to be a killer day. Time to get out there and smash it!
Remember, Babe Ruth was not only the home run king, he was also the strike out king.

4/15/2018 – The Wonderful Paradox
So simple, yet I constantly need reminding…
4/14/2018 – Morning Shower Tools
3 Must-haves for Every Shower:
1. Waterproof Speaker or Radio: Music and dancing should be part of everyone's daily awesome routine.
2. Shower Rocks: Simple reminders to have a kick-ass day and stay motivated. (I made mine. Happy to ship you some, just send me your address and Venmo me a few $ for postage)
3. Beverages: Coffee for morning showers, beer for afternoon showers. Try to store your mugs up high to avoid drinking your own shower water.
4/13/2018 – Don't be so quick to judge
Yesterday morning I was at the dog park at 5.35am. I saw the resident crazy homeless guy who lives there, Richard. I usually try to avoid him because he likes to talk my ear off instead letting me enjoy the 5am silence.
I couldn't avoid him yesterday. He had me cornered and was giving me financial advice. I was frustrated and silently judging him in my head. Ignoring his ramble, I noticed he was wearing a dirty jacket, cheap jeans, and an old pair of crocs with a fleece liner. He was unshaven, had a hood over his head, and smelled pretty bad. A typical bum.
Feeling far superior than him, I snobbed him off and headed back to my car. As I was putting my dog in the backseat, I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the car window… I was unshaven, hood over my head, wearing a dirty jacket. Ah crap… I looked down; I was also wearing cheap jeans, and old pair of crocs with fleece lining, and to top it all off – I smelled bad too.
Basically, I realized I am exactly the same as the bum that I was judging. I've even been known to ramble and give financial advice to people in the park.
"Don't be so quick to judge. Always look in the mirror first!"
To make matters worse, as I was driving away, homeless Richard yelled out: "Say hi to your beautiful wife for me. Seeing you guys really brightens my day."
In conclusion, I feel like an ass, and will never judge people again.
4/12/2018 – Family First
Wise words from Matt Anderson:
"If everything else in your life turns to sh*t, you'll always have your family to fall back on…
…but, only if you set it up that way"
4/11/2018 – Make Do With What You Have
My wife was a little annoyed about the no TV challenge yesterday. I sent the email out without consulting her first.
So as a punishment, she made me 'act out' her favorite movie instead. It was a great performance if I may say so!
Make do with what you have! Could even turn out to be fun!
What did you get up to?
4/10/2018 – Tuesday Challenge
Are you up for a little challenge today?
Good. Me too. Join me for:
No TV today.
There are a ton of cool things to do instead of watching TV. If you can't think of anything, then you need to shut off the TV for longer. Try 30 days.
4/9/2018 – Advice from Stephen Covey:
"The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing"
We often get so distracted by life, social media, etc., and at the end of the day, we haven't really moved the needle on what we truly care about.
TO DO TODAY: Guard your time.
Keep your main thing the main thing.
4/8/2018 – Don't be a WIMP!
Nervous about doing something new?
Scared about an upcoming big decision?
Worried about what people will think?
Call 1-800-OLEARY. I've got a fresh dose of encouragement for you.
4/7/2018 – Today's Forecast…
100% Chance of Success!
4/6/2018 – My 5am Daily Struggle…
5AM Alarm Goes Off…
Here's the conversation I have in my head every single morning:
Joel: Ah crap, I don't want to get up.
Joel: Too bad, you made a commitment and have to stick to it.
Joel: But I'm still tired and didn't sleep enough last night.
Joel: That's not true, you've had enough sleep. Get up now.
Joel: This sucks, I'm not having fun anymore.
Joel: That's not true, don't be lazy. You have an incredible life –> fun is what you make it.
Joel: ok, ok… I'll get up now and start doing my stuff.
Joel: Good, and if you finish all your tasks before 9am you can have a breakfast beer. Deal?
Joel: DEAL! I'm up and ready to rock!
4/5/2018 – Adventures Ahead!
Today's Choice:
You take the blue pill—you sleep in, get up slowly, drift though today with no drive, late for meetings, barely scrape by, and get further away from your goals.
You take the red pill—you wake up a rockstar, smashing today's tasks left and right, with a positive attitude, helping others and living today as a better person than you were yesterday.
Time to choose one…
4/4/2018 – A Quote for You
"If you want to be somebody, if you want to go somewhere, you've got to wake up and pay attention." – Woopie Goldberg
(Yes, I watched Sister Act #2 last night. Loved it.)
4/3/2018 – Time To ROCK!
– Find a pump up song
– Put on your headphones
– Turn up to volume 11
– Get ready to ROCK your day
4/2/2018 – The Compound Effect
The Difference Between 99% and 100%
Image two identical people. Same jobs, same city, same family situation, same body type, same everything.
One day, one of them starts putting in a tiny bit more effort every day. They try to be 101% of the person they were yesterday. The other person starts putting in a tiny bit less effort daily. Only trying to do 99%, thinking that's good enough. The difference seems minuscule.
Fast forward one year. These people are now radically different. One is healthier, happier, smarter, fitter, and richer. The other is lazy, slow, and struggling to get by.
In summary, overachieving isn't very hard. It just requires a tiny little bit more effort, applied consistently.
4/1/2018 – Happy Easter!!
Have an eggcellent day.

Gotorecord Isn't Available Now, Access 2016

Joined: 13-May 16
I've tried to fix this problem now for 8 hours without success, so it's time to ask for help.
I have a form frmLeadDetails which contains a tabbed control, and one of those tabs contains the subform sfrmLeadsTabTask that contains a list of tasks (records) that pertain to the parent record in frmLeadDetails. If the user double-clicks one of the records in the subform, frmTaskDetails opens to that particular record, and frmTaskDetails contains 3 buttons: btnSaveClose, btnSaveNew and btnCancel.
My problem is this...if the user open's a record in frmTaskDetails, makes a change and then clicks btnSaveNew, the code behind that button saves the record and successfully goes to a new record. But if the user does NOT make a change to the record and clicks btnSaveNew, I get runtime error 2046 that tells me "the command or action 'GoToRecord' isn't available now. The code behind this button is simple and the only difference between the two circumstances I described is whether the record is saved or not. I think I've tried everything under the sun to get it to work without success. Below is the code behind the button. Any ideas?
Private Sub btnSaveNew_Click()
If Me.Dirty Then
Me.Dirty = False
End If
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub

Yes. I have the navigation buttons turned off, but if I turn them on and run the code until I get the error and then try the navigation buttons, I am able to go to a new record.

Have you tried leaving out the If, and just having this?
Me.Dirty = False
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Are there any macros in the button's event properties, or other event procedures for the button? What happens if you create a new command button from scratch, with just the GoToRecord command (or Me.Recordset.AddNew)

I did try without the IF and that didn't work. No macros or other event procedures and I did try a new button with just the GoToRecord command and that did not work. But I hadn't tried Me.Recordset.AddNew so before trying that in a button, I tried it in my code instead of DoCmd.GoToRecord,,acNewRec and THAT WORKED! Any idea why?

what does this code do?

on error goto fail
If Me.Dirty Then
Me.Dirty = False

DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
exit sub

I really don't know. As a general thing I seek alternatives to DoCmd, but I can't remember why I started doing that in general, or specifically why I started using AddNew, MoveNext, etc. with the Recordset.
I hope somebody weighs in, because I am as curious as you are.

the command button must be put in form header.. not in the record itself.
for me it still not worked for other reasons.. but the first hurdle is above.

We left our workshop at 3:30 pm and ran to catch the ferry to the mainland. We missed the bus connection to the train station, so we took cabs and ended up on the 4 pm train to Amsterdam, with the slowpokes who missed the ferry. The funny thing was that with the exception of a couple of locals our train car was filled with visiting scientists. The Scandinavians all sat together (perhaps because a Belgian teased them that it must already be dark at home). We sat in the Canadian-German-English-Belgian group. Then there was a foreigners-who-work-in-the-UK (Kiwis and Canucks, mainly) group behind us. I enjoyed our conversation and getting to see a little more of the townships and countryside in the daylight. Though conversations started with the usual topics (i.e. science from the meeting, are Canadians really different from Americans and how long was my flight home, language issues) it became quite animated. The Belgians were Flemish so they translated the announcements for us. They wanted to know how our language differed. They claimed that Québecois french was incomprehensible and I argued that it really depended, though I acknowledged that sometimes it was 16th century and people drove their char rather than their auto. The only English Canadian word I could think of was ribbit, which lead to a crazy conversation about sounds animals make in different languages. Also, strangely, none of them knew the word meme, and thought I had made it up.
After reaching Amsterdam and taking a streetcar to our hotel (in the same neighbourhood as our houseboat from the last trip), we found an Indonesian restaurant, one of the benefits to Holland of their former colony. We were going to go for a beer, but passed a theatre and randomly decided to watch Revolutionary Road. Then Saturday, we mainly wandered and shopped till dinner.
Check out the fist door knob, and requisite bikes.
Ernie and Bert down the alleyway...
The necessary tulips (even if artificial) where we stopped for coffee on a canal.
There was a beautiful Art Nouveau style restaurant in this hotel.
I returned to the Jordaan, because I enjoyed walking there previously. There are many shops and galleries, and artisans working in felt.

Henrietta Barker, short in height with large hips and a rear end to match, shuffled into the office building carrying a large amount of items in a tote bag. No one is exactly sure what Henrietta hauls to work each day in her well-used tote bag. Once she arrived at her office door, she recited her normal mantra as she searched for her key on the cluttered and heavy key ring.
"I'm so tired. I can't wait until I retire."
Michael Jones asked as he walked down the corridor, "How much longer do you have?"
Henrietta replied, "Two more years. And it can't get here fast enough," entering her junky office.
After she had entered her office and dropped her tote bag on the floor, Henrietta shuffled to the break room for her normal cup of coffee with plenty of cream and sugar. Some of Henrietta's co-workers always mention that her coffee looks more like a vanilla milkshake. Returning to her office, Henrietta silently complained that her husband was not paying her enough attention and that she needed some serious love and affection.
During the next couple of hours, Henrietta responded to emails and completed some over due paperwork. She then had a thought. "I'll go to the ladies room and do what I need to do," she mumbled. No one had noticed Henrietta going the ladies room. She entered the stall, closed the door and turned the latch to further secure herself within the enclosure.
Inside the stall, Henrietta moaned, "Mmmmmm......Ahhhhhh.....Damn!" again and again followed by heavy breathing. .
A few seconds later, Denise Preen eased into the ladies room, entered the adjoining stalled, closed and secured the door. She took her position on the commode. Denise heard some clear, audible sounds with heavy breathing from the next cubicle.
"Ahhhhhhh....Mmmmmmm.....Oh my.....Mmmmmm," Henrietta chanted.
Denise leaned from the commode to see what was happening in the next stall. She narrowed her eyes and continued to listen to the moans, groans and heavy breathing wafting from the stall. Denise wondered if someone was having sex in the ladies room. However, she noticed only one pair of shoes. Denise had surmised that one of her co-workers was masturbating. Finally noticing the shoes because she had seen them on more than one occasion, Denise had a question.
"Henrietta Barker? Is that you?"
"Mmmmm....Ahhhhh.....Damn...Yes, it's me. What do you want? I'm busy. Mmmmmm...."
"What in the world are you doing over there? Masturbating?" Denise asked from her restroom stall.
Henrietta replied, "No, I'm trying to pull down my girdle so I can pee. It's hard pulling this thing down over my hips," as Denise broke into a laugh that echoed throughout the entire office from her restroom stall.
Until next week, Keep praising HIS name!

Australian Aboriginal culture
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Australian Aboriginal culture includes a number of practices and ceremonies centered on a belief in the Dreamtime. Reverence and respect for the land and oral traditions are emphasized. Language groupings and tribal divisions exhibit a range of individual cultures. Australian Aboriginal art has existed for thousands of years and ranges from ancient rock art to modern watercolor landscapes. Aboriginal music has developed a number of unique instruments. Contemporary Australian aboriginal music is predominantly of the country music genres. Indigenous Australians did not develop a system of writing.
- A Bora is an initiation ceremony in which young boys (Kippas)[1] become men.
- A corroboree is a ceremonial meeting for Australian Aboriginal people.
- Fire-stick farming, identified by Australian archaeologist Rhys Jones in 1969, is the practice of regularly and systematically burning patches of vegetation used in Central to Northern Australia to facilitate hunting, to reduce the frequency of major bush-fires, and to change the composition of plant and animal species in an area. "Burning off", as it is often called, reduces the fuel-load for a potential major bush fire, while fertilizing the ground and increasing the number of young plants, providing additional food for kangaroos and other fauna hunted for meat. It is regarded as good husbandry and "looking after the land" by Aboriginal people of the Northern Territory.[2]
- A smoking ceremony is a cleansing ritual performed on special occasions.
- Tjurunga or churinga are objects of religious significance by Central Australian Aboriginal Arrernte (Aranda, Arundta) groups.
- Walkabout refers to a commonly held belief that Australian Aboriginals would undergo a rite of passage journey during adolescence by living away from their family group area.
Indigenous Australians' oral tradition and spiritual values build on reverence for the land and on a belief in the Dreamtime. The Dreaming is considered to be both the ancient time of creation and the present-day reality of Dreaming. There are many different groups, each with their own individual culture, belief structure and language.
These cultures often overlapped, and evolved over time. The Rainbow Serpent is a major ancestral being for many Aboriginal people across Australia. Baiame or Bunjil are regarded as the primary creator-spirits in South-East Australia. Dingo Dreaming is a significant ancestor in the interior regions of Bandiyan, as Dingo formed the songlines that cross the continent from north to south and east to west.[3] The Yowie and Bunyip are other ancestral beings.
[Aborigines] perceived death as a transition to another life that is not completely different from the one they have left when they died. This appears to apply even to cases where a person is believed to have more than one spirit or soul. After death, the new situation was seen as not too different from the person's earthly life in which he or she had many roles. In death, [...] part of him may move to the Land of the Dead, or return to the site where spirit children await rebirth, or merge with the great ancestral and creative beings, etc., while another part of him or her may play the role of a spirit trickster.[4]
Traditional healers (known as Ngangkari in the Western desert areas of Central Australia) were highly respected men and women who not only acted as healers or doctors, but also generally served as custodians of important Dreamtime stories.[5]
Newer belief systems[edit]
In principle, census information could identify the extent of traditional Aboriginal beliefs compared to other belief systems such as Christianity; however the official census in Australia does not include traditional Aboriginal beliefs as a religion. For example, the 2001 census form listed Catholic, Anglican (Church of England), Uniting Church, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Islam, Greek Orthodox, Baptist, "No religion", "Other - please specify", and Buddhism.[6] The following census information is therefore likely to over-represent the listed beliefs compared to traditional Aboriginal beliefs.
In the 1991 census, almost 74 percent of Aboriginal respondents identified with Christianity, up from 67 percent in the 1986 census. The wording of the question changed for the 1991 census; as the religion question is optional, the number of respondents reduced.[7] The 1996 census reported that almost 72 percent of Aboriginal people practised some form of Christianity, and that 16 percent listed no religion. The 2001 census contained no comparable updated data.[8]
The Aboriginal population also includes a small but growing number of Muslims.[9] This Islamic community has seen high-profile members such as the boxer, Anthony Mundine.[10][need quotation to verify]
Aborigines have developed unique instruments and folk styles. The didgeridoo is commonly considered the national instrument of Australian Aborigines. It was traditionally played by Arnhem Land people, such as the Yolngu, and then only by the men.
It has possibly been used by the people of the Kakadu region for 1500 years. Clapping sticks are probably the more ubiquitous musical instrument, especially because they help maintain rhythm. More recently, Aboriginal musicians have branched into rock and roll, hip hop and reggae. Yothu Yindi is one of the most well known modern bands playing in a style known as Aboriginal rock. In 1997 the State and Federal Governments set up the Aboriginal Centre for the Performing Arts (ACPA) to preserve and nurture aboriginal music and talent across all styles and genres from traditional to contemporary.
Australian Aboriginal art has a history spanning thousands of years. Aboriginal artists continue these traditions using both modern and traditional materials in their artworks. Aboriginal art is the most internationally recognizable form of Australian art.[citation needed] Several styles of Aboriginal art have developed in modern times including the watercolour paintings of Albert Namatjira, the Hermannsburg School, and the acrylic Papunya Tula "dot art" movement. Painting is a large source of income for some Central Australian communities such as at Yuendumu.
For many Aboriginal cultures, the night sky is a repository of stories and law. Songlines can be traced through the sky and the land. Stories and songs associated with the sky under many cultural tents.[11]
Traditional recreation[edit]
The Djabwurrung and Jardwadjali people of western Victoria once participated in the traditional game of Marn Grook, a type of football played with possum hide. The game is believed by some commentators, including Martin Flanagan,[12] Jim Poulter and Col Hutchinson, to have inspired Tom Wills, inventor of the code of Australian rules football.
Similarity between Marn Grook and Australian football include jumping to catch the ball or high "marking", which results in a free kick. Use of the word "mark" in the game may be influenced by the Marn Grook word mumarki, meaning "catch".[13] However, this is likely a false etymology; the term "mark" is traditionally used in Rugby and other games that predate AFL to describe a free kick resulting from a catch,[14] in reference to the player making a mark on the ground from which to take a free kick, rather than continuing to play on.[15]
There are many indigenous players of Australian Rules Football at professional level, with approximately one in ten AFL players being of indigenous origin.[16][17] The contribution of the Aboriginal people to the game is recognized by the annual AFL "Dreamtime at the 'G" match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between Essendon and Richmond football clubs (the colors of the two clubs combine to form the colours of the Aboriginal flag). .
Testifying to this abundance of indigenous talent, the Aboriginal All-Stars, an AFL-level all-Aboriginal football side competes against any one of the Australian Football League's current football teams in pre-season tests. The Clontarf Foundation and football academy is just one organisation aimed at further developing aboriginal football talent. The Tiwi Bombers began playing in the Northern Territory Football League and became the first all-Aboriginal side to compete in a major Australian competition.
A popular children's game in some parts of Australia is weet weet or throwing the play stick. The winner throws the weet weet furthest or the most accurately.[18]

Topic Page: Kyrk, Hazel (1886 - 1957)
Hazel Kyrk was an important economist who focused on family and consumer economics. She was born in Ashley, Ohio. Her university education began in 1904 at Ohio Wesleyan, where she supported herself by working for the family of economics professor Leon C. Marshall. In 1908, Kyrk entered the University of Chicago and once again worked for the Marshall family, who had moved there previously. She graduated with a PhB in 1910 and began a PhD under the supervision of James A. Field. While working on her doctorate, Kyrk taught at Iowa State College (1911), Wellesley (1911-1912), and Oberlin (1914-1918). In 1918, she accepted an invitation from Field to do statistical work in England. She then returned to Oberlin and completed her PhD in 1920. Her dissertation won the prestigious Hart, Schaffner, and Marx prize, and a revised version was published in 1923 as A Theory of Consumption.
Kyrk left Oberlin in 1921. She taught summer school at Bryn Mawr (1922-1925), worked briefly at the Food Research Institute at Stanford (1923-1924), where she coauthored a book on the American baking industry (Kyrk and Davis 1925), and at Iowa State College (1924-1925) before being offered a joint appointment as an associate professor in the Departments of Home Economics and Economics at Chicago. She continued her work on consumer economics and published Economic Problems of the Family in 1933. In 1941, she was promoted to full professor. In 1953, a revised version of her 1933 book was published as The Family in the American Economy.
The key argument in A Theory of Consumption (1923) is that patterns of consumption behavior are largely determined by norms of the "appropriate and necessary" or by socially defined "standards of living." In her view, a theory of consumption must take account of these standards and norms, explain how they came to be, how they relate to valuation and choice, how they develop and change, and indicate how they might be improved through policy (22). This led Kyrk to critique marginal utility theory as a basis for understanding consumption behavior and to develop an instrumental theory of choice. This institutional approach to consumption, built around the concept of accepted standards of living, was widely adopted in the 1920s and 1930s. Other women economists, such as Theresa McMahon and Jessica Peixotto, contributed, but Kyrk's work provided the central theoretical argument.
Kyrk's Economic Problems of the Family (1933) had a broader scope, discussing not only issues in consumption and standards of living but also issues in household production; the economic position of women; employment of married women; family incomes and their adequacy; family decision making; risks of disability, unemployment, and old age; savings; social security; and consumer information and consumer protection. This book was path breaking in many respects, emphasizing the family as a joint decision-making unit over the allocation of household resources. Although Kyrk's approach remained firmly within the institutionalist tradition, the issues dealt with anticipate much of the more recent neoclassical literature on the economics of the family by Gary Becker and others.
Kyrk also contributed to issues involving women, the family, consumption, and housing through her work for the Women's Trade Union League of Chicago and for various government agencies. Between 1938 and 1941, she was chief economist of the Bureau of Home Economics, where she made major contributions to the Consumers Purchases Study, the foundation for calculating the base year prices for the consumer price index. Later, she worked for the Office of Price Administration on wartime price controls and the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the Minimum Standard Budget and revisions to the consumer price index.
At Chicago, she mentored other women faculty and supervised a number of women graduate students, including Margaret Reid. Kyrk never married but took in and raised the teenaged daughter of a cousin. She died in 1957 at her summer home in Vermont.

SOARR Story
Once upon a time....
Once upon a time a group of highly trained mental health professional came to the Bagley Elementary School. These professionals started a conversation about what it takes to help students (adults too) become highly successful. We (the staff) heard that everyone thrives when expectations and targeted behaviors are clearly identified From these conversations, the SOARR behavior matrix (see below, hint: it has an eagle on it) was created. The goals of this matrix are to identify behavioral goals for students, which creates greater opportunities to be successful.
SOARR stands for Safe, Optimistic, Achiever, Respectful, and Responsible. The Bagley Elementary School Staff identified these qualities as characteristics that promote students to be successful in the school, in the community, and in the world. The SOARR Matrix is branded with a soaring eagle to symbolize the success of our students. Get it…. SOARR and eagles soar.
What can you do? Read through the matrix. Think about the many ways students can be highly successful. Talk about the targets (behaviors). Help and guide students to reach for the targets. And, help students SOARR.

Since it became a surfing destination, Baler, Aurora has become one of the more famous travel destinations for people looking for a getaway near Metro Manila. With strong waves, especially during the monsoon season, Baler has turned into a top choice for surfing enthusiasts.
I have to say, I'm happy to have visited this place. The place speaks to me, the simplicity, the rustic smell of the earth, and it being set between the mountains and the sea make me feel warm inside. To me this is the easiest way to get away from everyday stress. It's one of the easiest getaway destinations for stressed out Metro Manila people.
Getting there shouldn't be a hassle either. If you don't have a car to drive there, just get on a bus midnight or after midnight, get some sleep and wake up to Baler in the morning. You will then be ready for breakfast near the beach.
Surfing Lessons
Surfing lessons are available along Sabang Beach, the main beach in Baler. Surfing lessons typically costs 300 pesos per hour. It doesn't matter if the waves are large or not, the quality instructors will surely get to help you find the right balance to ride the waves.
Non-Surfing Activities
Baler is a historical town. For people who are not into the high adrenalin sport of surfing, Baler is a perfect way to relax and be away from the busy city life. There is the Museo de Baler and Dona Aurora House, which can easily be reached by tricycle from Sabang Beach. You can also have the tricycle driver take you to other tourist spots in the area, including Ermita Hill and Mother Falls. The drivers usually offer day trips to visitors in the area.
Where to Stay
There are many hotels and inns along Sabang Beach. Simply choose one that suits your budget and standard. Among the more famous are Aliya Surf Camp, Bay's Inn and Costa Pacifica, which is a bit high end. The beach is also lined with affordable inns that will suit anybody's budget. It will be best to make reservations early on, especially if coming to Baler on weekends and busy season, as the hotels and inns get fully booked easily.
How to Go to Baler
The best way to go to Baler is by bus commute. There are buses that leave from 12 midnight until early morning via Genesis buses in Cubao. You can sleep during the trip, and wake up in Baler for breakfast.
If you prefer extra comfort, Genesis Joy Bus is the best choice. This bus provides more leg room. It can be rather difficult to get a good sleep on their regular buses. It is recommended to get a reservation if you intend to take the Joy Bus.

Shock to the System…
I knew it would be like this. I knew my return to work would be a shock. It has been and I'm not sure I am up to handling it, but I don't know what else to do. I know I should take all of your advice and go back to my GP, but I don't see how sitting at home is any better. I don't see how anything can be any better. I don't see the point in work. I don't see the point in life.
Being back in the office has both benefits and issues.
People keep asking me where I've been or how I am and I genuinely don't know how to answer. I am not better and I know that, but I don't want to disappoint people. They expect to hear that you're fine and glad to be back. I'm not fine and I'm not sure if I'm glad to be back.
I hate how visible my role is. I know everyone and it's a big office. There are literally hundreds of people, all wanting to know where I've been. People are nosy. Some people knew where I'd been. Others had no idea – some thought I was on holiday or I'd left the project. My reappearance in the office has made people suspicious. It does make me wonder if I should have had a new start on a new project, but then I am glad for my friends. The news seemed to travel fast. Before I'd even told people I was back, they were popping over to my desk to see me. It was nice to be welcomed, but I couldn't deal with their questions. I didn't want to tell them how I really felt. Seeing people is nice, but it's all too much, too fast. After seeing virtually no one for weeks, it's weird to see everyone again.
In terms of the work. The distraction is good. Yesterday, I focussed on clearing out my inbox and that was easy. I just had to keep answering the queries, clicking the buttons and making things happen. I could do all those things on autopilot and I was distracted from my thoughts and feelings for a few hours. If work was like that all the time I could handle it. I just had to keep going.
The problem is when the distraction stops. Last night I lay awake, thinking about the day, about work, about life. I kept thinking about how pointless everything is. My thoughts are all negative. I see no light at the end of the tunnel.
Today has been harder. I've almost run out of monotonous tasks. I'm now being required to think. I am incapable of thought. The thoughts that I do have are negative and so far removed from the productive, work-like thoughts I need to be creating I just don't know how. Intelligent thought is impossible.
Conference Calls are painful. I hate calls at the best of times, but today was impossible. I was aware that I sounded like a gibbering idiot; someone that doesn't know what they're talking about. I was frustrated with myself. I hate the fact I'm only a shadow of my old self. I hate that I'm not as quick and knowledgable. I hate that I can't order my thoughts, because my mind is dominated by the black cloud hanging over my head. I got away with it today. The call wasn't important and I still knew more than my colleagues, but I can't keep this up. I will be found out. I will slip up. I will break down.
I don't know what to do. I am back to where I was before my sick-leave. I am no better than I was then. I hate the fact that I am no better. This lack of progress makes me want to give up. I don't want to admit there has been no progress. I don't want to go back to my GP. I don't want to go home and wait to feel better. I don't want to do any of this.
I can feel myself losing hope. I see no future and no point.
p.s. On a happier note. Thanks to those who nominated me for the awards doing the rounds. I appreciate it. I will do mine soon, but I'm not quite in the frame of mind, sorry.
return to the system…
…a different system to the one that my blog title refers to, but a system nonetheless. Tomorrow, I go back to work.
It feels too soon. I know it is too soon, yet I'm not doing anything to stop it.
I am too scared to go back to my doctor and tell her I can't cope. I am too scared to tell my new line manager I can't face it. I'm too scared to tell HR I'm not ready. I am too scared to admit to my partner I am not better. Hell, I'm too scared to admit to myself.
I want to be ready. I want to go back. I want to see my friends. I want to get involved in new projects. I want to feel like I have something to live for. I want to have something to do. I want to feel capable. I want to succeed.
I want to know if I'm ready. I try and work out if I'm ready, but all I feel is that I am not.
My mood had picked up over the past week. My holiday was pleasant. I felt almost capable. We did things. I enjoyed the sunshine. My appetite has returned. I socialised and it was almost comfortable. I didn't feel suicidal all of the time, although I can't say the thoughts had gone completely. I had moments where I forgot I was depressed. I wondered if the pills were working or if it was the holiday that made me feel better or if I was just feeling better anyway. Generally, it wasn't bad. Not as bad as I'd feared at least.
The problem is I'm not on holiday anymore. I'm home and it's harder to forget things. Things are suspended when you are on holiday. You can be someone that you are not and it is easier to forget the things that haunt you, the things that bother you. I was able to forget how depressed I was, albeit temporarily, because I was with people who only knew the happy me and I could show them the happy me. I did my best to shake off my moods and did my best to keep going. I wasn't wholly successful and it's a tiring act to put on, but generally I did feel a bit better. By pretending to be better, I almost convinced myself I was.
I'm home now though and I know I'm not better. During the drive back, all I could feel was churning anxiety in my stomach and my mind ticking over the things I faced when I returned. I didn't want to leave the safety of the holiday. I didn't want to come home. I could feel post-holiday blues descending like a big cloak of gloom. I know everyone suffers from post-holiday blues at the best of times, but I couldn't help fear that mine would be worse than most. I couldn't help worrying that mine would be a return to the suicidal depths of my depression. The fact that they haven't been…quite, should be comforting, but I still worry that those moods are only days away.. hours away even.
Yesterday was a day of doing stuff. Unpacking, buying food, sorting things out, mowing the lawn. It was a list of chores, which a couple of weeks ago would have been unthinkable, but I managed them. I felt okay. Not as good as last week, but not desperately low. I wonder if I am improving, if I am better. Maybe I will be able to cope with work after all? I feel a bit better. I know I am anxious about work, but my mood has been much worse, even when I was still at work and performing well. Maybe the drugs are kicking in at last and maybe if I go back it will help me to get better? I keep trying to convince myself it is a good idea. I want to go back to work. I want to go back to pretending I'm fine.
I am trying to work out if I'm ready. The anxiety coursing through my veins, suggests I am not. The fact that I almost have a panic attack when I think of my inbox, suggests I am not. The fact I still find it hard to make myself do things, suggests I am not. The fact a conversation with my new line manager has put suicide back on the brain, suggests I am not. The fact I can't face a future, suggests I am not.
Tomorrow I go back to work. I can't stop it now. I will give it a go, but I just wonder how long I can last.
shiny happy pills…
So I took shiny-happy-pill number 1 this morning. Obviously it is going to have absolutely no effect on me at all for a few days (or weeks?!) but I still feel a little weird having done it. I know everyone is right and I have absolutely nothing to lose – at least the rational part of me does. The rest of me doesn't see the point in doing anything, but nevermind.
Today is a stressful day. Unfortunately, stressful days = suicidal days. I can't face the enormous task list ahead of me. The expectation of me to just get on with things. The expectation that I will complete all these tasks, despite the fact that getting up feels like enough of a challenge. The expectation that I will stop using "this excuse". I hate expectation.
Lying in the bath half an hour ago, I'd have done anything to just slip under the water and stay there. It feels like the only thing keeping me here today, is the fact we have a friend here and his presence makes all of my possible plans useless.
Tonight, we travel down south for a weekend in a field, followed by a trip across the sea on Sunday night, for a week in France. I won't be around for a while. The prospect of the holiday fills me with dread. I was looking forward to it, but now the day is here I can't face it. I don't feel up to a week pretending I'm fine and everything is normal. I don't feel up to a week of putting on a happy face, getting up every day and going places. I don't feel up to today. The packing, the cleaning, the endless list of tasks I have to battle through. I just can't face anything.
I have no choice though. I guess this lack of choice, makes the ultimate exercise of choice even more appealling.
I must stop now. Writing here today is almost self-harm. It means I have even less time to complete the tasks of the day and it means I will be under even more pressure. I can't help myself though. I almost want to put myself under this pressure. I almost want to tip myself over the edge, because then I won't have to care anymore. Then I'd be able to just give up. I wouldn't have this little portion of my conscience eating away at me, hating myself for thinking like this, being like this. I hate it.
return to the GP… and a return to work…?
So I've been back to my doctor this morning.
She's changed her tune and now wants me to go back to work. Last time I saw her she didn't want me to go back if I hadn't picked up. This time she wants me to, even though I told her things hadn't picked up. I wonder if the fact I've hit the month mark is making her itchy. I also wonder now if she's given up on the hope that a break would help.
We talked a little bit about it, but I didn't know what to say to her. She makes me terrible uncomfortable, just "hmm-ing" at me and being patronising. I realised today how much I hate her. I am not sure I can go back to her even. There are some new GPs starting at the practice soon, so I might try and get transferred. I know there's little point me going to a GP I can't trust.
I couldn't be honest with her. I wonder what her response would have been if I told her what was going on in here. I can't tell her how I feel. I can't be honest with people face-to-face, not in the way that I can when I write. I told her that things hadn't picked up, but I couldn't bring myself to say the s-word, so I think she just thinks I'm feeling a little low. I suspect she doesn't realise how low. In fact I'm fairly sure she doesn't. I am still suicidal. More so today than yesterday. More so yesterday than Tuesday. So will I be more so tomorrow than today? I don't know. I'm not sure I can get much more suicidal without actually doing the deed. I'm still fighting the thoughts, but it's becoming more and more tempting to just give in.
I didn't tell her any of that though. I just ended up agreeing with her to look at a return to work. In as much as I want to do anything (which is not much at all), I do want to go back to work, but I am scared. I have planned holiday for the next week, so she's signed me off until 30th July. She said a short week to start off with might be a good idea and that gives me long enough to adjust to the idea of a return. I have no idea if I'll be ready by then. I don't feel ready, yet I wonder if it's time to just try ignoring the problem again. Tackling it doesn't seem to be helping much anyway, but I know where ignoring it got me. One thing I do know though is that I can't stay off work forever.
The question of meds came up too and I think she was surprised when I agreed to her at least writing me a prescription. I have given up the fight I think. I just decided to do whatever she told me, as I didn't know what else to say to her. I did tell her I might not go collect it, but I think I probably will. I hate giving in. I can be so stubborn sometimes. I don't want to, but I read so often that you have to "keep taking the meds" that I should probably listen. I'm just not sure I want to. I'm just not sure I want to do anything. It seems Fluoxetine 20mg is going to be the drug of choice for the next 6 months though. So we shall see.
I am unsure about everything. The only thing I do feel sure about is that I can't carry on like this. It's just when I feel like this, the mind inevitably turns to the easy option. *bangs head on desk*
into the present…
Moving away from the topic of work for a minute and thinking about how I am right this moment is not all that easy. Many of the thoughts about when I might return to work and if I'm actually any better are still on my mind, but there are other things too, alongside a fairly high presence of suicidal thoughts. I guess my slight improvement was fairly short-lived, although I'm not quite in the same place that I was on Friday morning.
I think I'm going to take a break from my laptop for a few hours and see if that brings about any improvement. Finding the energy and motivation to do anything is not easy though. I guess I still need to pay my daily trip the pool, but the thought is tiring in itself. My partner has also set me a challenge – one that I'd usually relish (it involves web design, proper WordPress and other joys like that), but right now it's not really something I fancy (oh, it's that age old thing of not wanting to do the things you love again!).
I have the doctors tomorrow. I'm going to ask for the meds. I think that in itself tells a story. I'm scared though. What if they don't work? I read this somewhere the other day, as justification for not wanting to take meds and I agree. It was comforting to have this last-ditch option available to me, so I'm scared that I'm now having to use it. Where would I be if they don't work and what if I have to rely on meds forever? I'm scared at the prospect, but I suppose I need to do something. I guess we shall see what happens.
I do just wish this would all go away. I just wish *I* could go away, but maybe that isn't the answer either? *sigh*
work, work, work: but not at work…
So I'm at it again.. writing more about work (previous posts here and here), but this time from the perspective of not being there.
Being signed-off is a weird experience. It's difficult to know that everything you had been focussing on, everything you've been involved with, is still carrying on without you. Read the rest of this entry »
work, work, work: life before sign-off…
This is the second part of my post about work. The previous post can be found here.
I've been thinking about work and my performance in the weeks before I was signed off and trying to work out where I got the point that I was not fit to work. It's strange because one of the things I struggle with most is working out how much things were a result of my depression/mental illness and how much of it was a cause. I can't work out where the lines blur. It's hard to distinguish illness from personality and circumstance. How much of it is depression, how much of it is part of my nature and how much of it was caused by the pressure of the job in general? It's all one big melting pot and I'm not sure what to blame.

Ludmila Schnaider
North York
Please tell us about your career.
By profession I am a photographer. When I was 12, my family moved to Israel, so I received my education there. I graduated from the Institute of Arts, Department of Photography and Cinematography. In Israel, I worked mainly in film - I was a video editor in a film studio in the north. In Canada, I moved more in the direction of photography. I have a lot of diverse ideas and I created my own studio in which to explore them.
Where is your family from?
My great-grandfather and great-grandmother from my mother's side lived in the small village of Kazanka, Ukraine. When, during the revolution, there was a terrible massacre, our family members scattered around the world – some came to Canada, some fled to Kiev, and my grandmother went to Odessa, where my grandfather was born. The family was wealthy, and was therefore afforded the luxury Jewish observance, including having a completely Jewish home. The family was large, with many children. On holidays, they all gathered around a large table and the great-grandfather would lead the Jewish rituals. On Passover, he leaned on a beautifully embroidered pillow, like a king. The family owned a small soap factory, which they had to abandon to escape the pogroms. During WWII when they were leaving Odessa, one of my grandmother's brothers said he could not believe that the Nazis can kill innocent people, and he stayed. He and his family, together with the other remaining in Odessa, were herded into a barn and burned.
How long ago did you emigrate? Why did you choose to live in North York?
I came to Canada from Israel ten years ago, mainly motivated by the fact that my parents live here. I chose to live in the Bathurst and Steeles area because that is where I established my studio.
What do you do in your free time? Do you have any hobbies?
I am happy that my work is also my favorite hobby. I am connected to the theme of war, and decided to make a gift for our veterans by creating their artistic portraits. I attend veterans events and photograph them. When I put these pictures on the internet, I realized that I know nothing about these heroes. So I began to visit them, to get acquainted with them, to listen to and record their stories. The result is a whole collection of images of our heroic veterans. I have been working since 2014 on charity project called "My dear veterans," which I devote all my free time to.
If you were given the opportunity to meet anyone, who would you choose?
I am interested in different people, and I think that I would have a large table at which I would gather the great physicist Einstein, the writers Ilf and Petrov, the artist Marc Chagall, the famous comedian Charlie Chaplin, together with my great-grandparents. It would certainly be a diverse group, and to each of them I would like to talk about what I care about. However, I want to say that I would also want to look into the eyes of the villain, Hitler, and to ask him one question: "Why?"
What are your future plans?
To grow as a photographer, to organize my own exhibition. My first photo exhibition entitled "My Dear veterans" took place in November of this year. It presented not only the individual portraits of veterans, but photographs devoted to the events of World War II and the Holocaust. As long as these people are alive, you have to take the time. They are, unfortunately, leaving us, and history should not be forgotten.

I recently had a nightmare, but nothing in that dream was as horrific looking as these Allochtoons. Crafted by the ingenious Ziv Ayal, these crazy sculptures feature creatures with mutant-like appendages and recognizable human body parts, elevating the creepiness factor to new extremes.
The most outlandish aspect of these Allochtoons is the distinct human facial expressions on these sculptures, which make it seem as though these things were once formerly people that have been grotesquely transformed into what you're looking at. I now have something new to fear at night.
Implications - Artwork that contains human-like qualities often evokes visceral reactions from consumers as they are readily able to empathize with it due to its recognizable characteristics. Corporations can similarly include human-like attributes and qualities into product designs in order to entice consumers into buying their wares.
