Enjoy this online prenatal class at your pace
This online prenatal class is ideal for expectant parents who prefer an online format or who can't attend a live, in-person birth class.
Sometimes people find it difficult to attend in-person childbirth classes due to work schedules, time constraints, or other reasons. Online prenatal classes allow you the freedom and flexibility to enjoy comprehensive birth and parenting preparation from the comfort of your own home.
This eight-module birthing class uses evidence based content, videos, audio recordings, downloads, and other resources to teach essential information you need to know to prepare for childbirth and parenting. Inclusive, gender-neutral, relationship-neutral language and images are used throughout the course to acknowledge and celebrate the diversity in all types of people experiencing pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting.
Introduction and Orientation
Learn how to navigate the online prenatal class and access all of the resources available to you. Several important concepts will be introduced, such as birthing in awareness, evidence based practice, common misconceptions about labor and birth, the cascade of interventions, and the importance of self-care.
#1: Healthy Pregnancy
A healthy pregnancy is the foundation for a healthy birth. You can ensure that you feel rested and strong heading into labor by committing to excellent nutrition, daily exercise, and plenty of sleep during pregnancy. In this module, you will learn about various ways to create and maintain comfort and health in the weeks leading up to birth.
#2: Preparing for Childbirth and Parenting
In module two of the online prenatal class, you will learn about holistic preparation for childbirth and parenting. Topics include physical activity, intellectual research, emotional connection with your birth partner and baby, and spirituality/intentionality/awareness. We will discuss how to set up a supportive and encouraging birth team, your options for birth locations, and how to create an empowering birth ambience.
#3: Labor and
You will learn about the stages and phases of labor so that you understand terms such as first stage, second stage, and third stage. Additional topics include the hormonal physiology of labor and birth, signs that labor is near, when to call your care provider, how your body and baby work together during childbirth, emotional and physical changes you may experience, waterbirth, pushing, and the benefits of immediate skin-to-skin contact with your baby after birth.
#4: Comfort Techniques
We will discuss the many strategies that you and your support team can use to enhance the labor process and help you manage pain. These techniques include conscious breathing, pain coping techniques, relaxation and visualization, massage, hydrotherapy and aromatherapy, positions and movements, and measures to address back labor and slow or stalled labor. Specific tips and suggestions for partners are included.
#5: Procedures and Interventions
In module five of the online prenatal class, we discuss common medical interventions that are used during labor. The focus is on providing evidence based information so that you can make decisions that are right for you. You will learn about the benefits and risks of common procedures and interventions (including pain relief options), how to create your own unique birth plan, when induction of labor might become necessary, and much more.
#6: Cesarean Birth
Currently, more than 30% of pregnant people in the U.S. experience cesarean birth despite the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation that the cesarean rate should be about 10%. In this module, you will learn why this extreme dichotomy exists and ways to reduce your risk of having a cesarean. You will also learn about what to expect before, during, and after surgery if you need to have a cesarean. Finally, you will learn about ways to increase your chances of a successful VBAC in this pregnancy or a subsequent one.
#7: Newborns
Learn all about your amazing baby! Topics include newborn procedures, such as vitamin K, antibiotic eye ointment, metabolic screening, and circumcision. You will learn about common characteristics and appearance of newborns, the basics of newborn care, the latest research on newborn sleep, warning signs of possible problems, and questions to ask when choosing your baby's healthcare provider.
#8: Postpartum and Feeding Your Baby
In module eight of the online prenatal class, you will learn about how you may feel during the first few weeks after birth, including options for your placenta, how your body heals after birth, warning signs of possible problems, normal new parent feelings, signs of depression, and information about postpartum sexuality. In addition there is extensive information about nursing/breastfeeding/chestfeeding such as the basics of latching and positioning, common challenges, pumping and returning to work, and nutrition during lactation.

Grimes is out and about supporting Art Angels, her new album which just dropped last week and has been blowing minds every minute since. And at her stop at Atlanta's Buckhead Theater on Wednesday night (Nov. 11), she got the support of fellow uncategorizable artistic mastermind—and queen of ATL—Janelle Monáe.
The two dueted on "Venus Fly," their collaboration from the new record. Moneezy brought her dependable off-the-charts energy and made us really, really wish we were there when we saw the video. The clip above was shot by Atlantan singer-songwriter HANA; here's a full-length, lesser-quality version, too:
In an Instagram photo (below), Grimes wrote, "Deranged cuz I just got off stage but omgggg just performed Venus fly w @janellemonae and holy omggggg." We get it.

NEW LONDON, Conn. -- The Babson men's basketball team finally secured its first NEWMAC victory on Wednesday night, as sophomore John Wickey (Manchester, N.H.) scored 20 points and junior Kenny Ross (Furlong, Pa.) added 11 points and three assists as part of a 61-55 road win at Coast Guard.
Wickey shot 8-for-12 to lead the Beavers (9-8 overall, 1-4 NEWMAC), who snapped a four-game slide with the triumph. Senior Russell Braithwaite (Brooklyn, N.Y.) added 13 points and six boards, and first-year Travis Sheldon (Woodstock, N.Y.) tacked on nine points on 3-of-5 shooting from three-point range.
Babson never trailed in the first half, opening with eight straight points and later taking a 26-24 lead into the locker room. Coast Guard (1-13 overall, 0-5 NEWMAC) then took its only lead of the game, 36-35, with 13 minutes left, but that was quickly erased by an 11-2 burst that featured three-pointers from Sheldon, Wickey, and junior Matt Palazini (Franklin, Mass.).
The Bears got to within one at 54-53 with 1:43 remaining, but two free throws by Braithwaite and four straight points by Ross put the game away.
NOTES: Babson now holds a 41-28 lead in the all-time series with Coast Guard. The rivalry dates back to 1972... Ross now has at least five assists in 13 of Babson's 17 games this season... The Beavers play again on Saturday at home against Wheaton at 4 pm as part of a Coaches vs. Cancer basketball doubleheader (click to learn more).

What We Do
Patient Population Management
Easily view changes in conditions on all at-risk patients across Post-Acute settings including: skilled nursing facilities, senior living communities, and even recovery at home. Elevate patient alerts to care teams & see responses in real-time as clinical teams respond to the patients needs. Management dashboards can be customized to meet the needs of administrative and clinical staffs.
Active Case Management
Following the care plan on a daily basis is critical for high risk patients, yet difficult to maintain over the long term without the tools and personnel in place to eliminate gaps or errors in care. Every patient receives undivided attention from their OverSightMD Care Team representative that is dedicated to understanding their care needs and access to the support needed for success.
Continuous Patient Engagement
Staying engaged with patients that are recovering at home can be a challenge. The OverSight care teams follow specific engagement protocols that strengthen communication with each patient to uncover valuable insights from even the most difficult to communicate with. Our wellness assessments cover a large range of topics including: patient feedback, changes in conditions, self-reported vitals, caregiver updates, care coordination with doctors and home health agencies, medical supply problems, medication needs, and transportation.
Care Continuum Interoperability
The OverSightMD platform integrates with electronic health records(EHR's) such as EPIC, CERNER, All Scripts, MatrixCare, and more. This makes deploying OverSightMD easy. We can receive and share patient information & history, vitals, nursing notes, orders, and much more directly from each care organizations system. For home health agencies and caregivers without EHR's using OverSightMD's mobile solution is HIPAA secure and simple to use.
Real-Time Clinical Communication
The OverSightMD dashboard views and proprietary patient alert & handoff system enhances real-time communication internally and across the care continuum. We deliver the capability to effectively communicate and keep accountable other organizations involved with a patients care. Our built in analytics and protocols expedite communication between clinicians to focus on the most at-risk patient at any given time.
Provider Tracking & Analytics
Every patient relies on your recommendations for the best available supporting organizations for their needs. We maintain real-time insight on the performance of skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, and care communities so that you make the best referral possible for every patient and their health needs.
Real-Time Patient Risk Stratification
We take a holistic approach to identifying and tracking risk for every In-Patient and Post-Acute patient. Understanding the risk profile allows each responsible care giver to proactively mitigate risk for each patient under their charge. In-Patient risk profiles change due to negative changes in condition or positive improvements and these are presented to clinical teams in easy to view dashboards. The long term recovery of Post-Acute patients involves understanding the risks associated at the home environment of a patient and what support is available from care professionals or family. We continue to maintain risk profiles on patients as they transition across all levels of care.
Key Performance Monitoring
Every client receives customized reporting to maintain real-time insight into how well your organization is attaining clinical and financial goals. OverSightMD sets itself apart from every other performance monitoring tool in that we highlight active cases everyday that can still be intervened to change and improve outcomes and final performance scores.

South And South-East Asia In The Midst Of A Global Recession
Click here for a link to complete article:
By Arpitha Bykere, RGE | 25 August 2008
In a recent analysis, Nouriel Roubini argued that the probability of a global recession has increased. Macro developments in the last few weeks suggest that now all of the G-7 economies are already in a recession or close to tipping into one. Other advanced economies like Australia and New Zealand and many emerging markets are also on the tip of a recessionary hard landing.
Trade and financial linkages with the G-7 countries mean that Asia is unlikely to remain unscathed. Asian economies dependent on exports to the US and Europe and having large current account surpluses (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and others) will suffer from the G-7 recession. Those with current account deficits (India, Vietnam) might suffer from the global credit crunch and a sudden stop of capital, which also exacerbates home grown liquidity squeezes (South Korea).
ASEAN economies are witnessing record inflation led by food and commodity prices and fuel price hike by some governments (to contain subsidy bill). But external shocks in many of these economies have been exacerbated by domestic factors like strong credit growth, loose monetary policy and undervalued exchange rate fueling domestic demand and asset bubbles, along with fiscal spending boosting demand and subsidies veiling the true costs of consumption. In spite of inflation risk, central banks delayed or even prevented monetary tightening and currency appreciation in order to support growth as they feared exports would take a hit from U.S. slowdown.
Instead they relied on 'administrative' measures like price controls, export restrictions, lower import tariffs (have also recently shown likeness for fiscally stimulating the stock market and domestic demand). However, a stronger than expected U.S. economy and continued growth in Europe and emerging markets (including China), Middle-East till H1 2008 supported Asian exports though export growth did soften from late 2007. So rather than the much anticipated export shock it was the food and oil price shock that threatened (and continues to threaten) Asia's macro stability.
Delayed policy responses to cope with inflation and its impact on growth has raised concerns among foreign investors leading to stock market decline and capital outflows in many countries, and putting a downward pressure on their currencies [[⇒⇒ which, in turn , implies upwards pressure on the dollar: normxxx]]. This has led many central banks to intervene in currency markets to defend the currency by selling forex reserves especially as higher currency would help contain imported inflation. However, by mid-2008, even export growth has taken a hit, while the headline inflation has made its way through second-round price effects via higher wages and transportation costs.
Intra-Asia trade seems unable to offset slowing exports to the G-7 economies since most of it is actually for final exports to the G-7, and also as domestic demand in Asian economies also slows demand for consumer and industrial imports and most importantly the slowdown extends from the U.S. to EU, Japan and Ems like China, Latam. So while a global poses risks to growth, Asian central banks largely behind the curve will continue to face inflation spiral. Loose monetary policy has resulted in negative real interest rates in India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Philippines. Effect of food and fuel subsidy bill on fiscal balance would also reduce the room for expansionary fiscal policy to prop up demand.
Moreover, the recent easing of oil and commodity prices and possibility of their further downward trend amid a global slowdown (especially U.S. and China) might entice Asia to believe that inflationary pressure may be abating. Impact of a global slowdown and commodity price correction on exports may in fact see Asian countries returning to the export-led growth strategy to follow a loose monetary policy and undervalued currency. However, this will only worsen the probability of a stagflation-like environment. In spite of large forex reserves, the impact of these growing macro risks will worsen foreign investor sentiment, posing risks to asset markets, currency depreciation and financing of rising external deficits/slowing surpluses.
After the stellar 9%-plus growth during 2006-07, India's 2008 growth forecast has been lowered to below 8%. In spite of being labeled as a domestic-demand driven economy resilient to global slowdown, the recent investment boom and above-potential growth were rather buoyed by benign global liquidity conditions. The Oil price shock has exposed India's vulnerability with the trade deficit, expected to exceed 10% of GDP while global financial turmoil and weakening growth prospects have led to capital outflows and downward pressure on the currency.
Corporate earnings and capex plans are also at risk amid rising production costs and lending rates, accentuated by global credit crunch and stock market volatility. The 16-year high inflation is partly led by food, commodities and fuel price hike but exacerbated by strong domestic demand, pre-election fiscal spending and credit growth. The Subsidy burden may raise the fiscal deficit to over 10% of GDP. Further, interest rate hikes will severely impact consumer spending and private investment so that only an easing of global commodity prices will be a blessing.
Indonesia's 6%-plus growth in recent quarters has been buoyed by oil and commodity exports but also domestic private demand and government's pre-election spending. Commodity prices have also supported energy stocks notwithstanding the stock market decline of over 23%. Nevertheless, capital outflows and downward pressure on the currency reflect the increase in investor's risk aversion. Rising fiscal deficit, impact of commodity price correction on exports as well as close to 12% inflation pose risk to asset markets and GDP growth. Shrinking current account and balance of payment surplus amid slowing capital inflows are also a concern.
The central bank has maintained a tightening bias (taking the interest rate to 9% in August) in order to contain second-round effects of the fuel price increase during May and also to support the currency. But the central bank's inflation bias unlike its several neighbors is because global commodity demand, especially by China has supported oil and commodity exports so far. The case for domestic demand holding up amid export (both oil and non-oil) slowdown may be undermined by the impact of continued interest rate hike on consumer spending even as fiscal subsidy burden constrains government's infrastructure and development spending.
Concerns over Singapore's GDP growth contraction of 6% in Q2 2008 from Q1 has shifted focus from inflation to growth. Exports and industrial production have continued to contract led by slowing electronic exports to US and EU. Subprime exposure and global liquidity crunch continue to impact banks and financial services while higher production costs and tighter credit have caused some correction in the real estate sector. The 7%-plus inflation running at a 26-year high is partly led by high food and oil import dependence and but inflation risk has nonetheless persisted in the recent quarters due to an overheating economy, housing bubble and tight labor market.
To aid export-led growth, the central bank may give up or keep on hold its past exchange rate tightening bias especially as global and domestic slowdown are expected to commodity prices as well as domestic input and product markets ahead while further exchange rate appreciation may not be effective in controlling price pressures emanating from the domestic economy. On a brighter note, the govt has enough fiscal room to pump up domestic demand as well as compensate people for higher cost of living. Nonetheless, the impact of slowdown in the previously booming sectors (finance, housing, and manufacturing) may weigh down on domestic demand.
Like Indonesia, Malaysia's 6%-plus growth has so far been led by strong energy exports as well as domestic demand. But slowing electronic exports and recent correction in commodity prices point towards the risk of declining current account surplus and growth slowdown in the coming quarters. This is especially true as inflation and recent fuel and electricity price hike will impact consumer spending. Investment is also weakening but only partly due to slowdown in manufacturing activity and more so because of ongoing political turmoil. Recent political events have taken a toll on the stock market which is already battered by rising inflation and lower corporate earnings, apart from undermining the use of fiscal stimulus as growth slows.
Amid concerns of export slowdown, the central bank has adamantly kept the interest rate on hold at 3.5% and is preventing the use of currency appreciation to control inflation which reached more than a two decade high of 7.7% in July. However, more than the impact of export slowdown it is widely expected that negative real interest rates and second-round price effects via wage inflation, higher production and transportation costs will play a greater role in pulling down growth. This might eventually lead to monetary tightening to prevent a stagflation environment.
Philippines' growth started weakening in early-2008 led by significant slowdown in exports while consumer demand and fiscal spending have continued to be the bright-spots, boosting Q1 2008 growth by 5.2%. Spike in food (especially rice), oil and commodity prices and strong domestic demand pushed inflation to a 16-year high of 12.2% in July. This has been exacerbated by a weakening currency forcing central bank intervention in the currency markets and a monetary tightening bias.
However, as the U.S. economy worsens, a stronger currency might dent exports and also the purchasing power of remittances. But if the central bank follows this to cut interest rates or stay on hold ahead, it will only exacerbate inflationary pressure. The Philippines however has a better fiscal position compared to some of its neighbors to stimulate growth.
Like Malaysia, Thailand is weathering slowing exports to the U.S., inflationary pressure from to food (rice shortages) and oil prices and extreme political risk. Domestic demand is being boosted by govt's fiscal stimulus largely backed by political considerations. In spite of a 6% growth in Q1 2008, continued interest rate hike to contain the decade high inflation of 9.2% in July may dent private demand and reduce growth to below 5% in 2008. On the other hand, an 18% fall in the stock market since early 2008 signals that political uncertainty has taken a toll on business confidence.
Vietnam's story has been volatile— it has gone from being the 'next China' to the 'next Thailand'. Apart from the monetary policy of dollar-pegged exchange rate and currency intervention of capital inflows, food shortages and oil price hike have also exacerbated the 27% inflation rate. Overheating concerns in early 2008 were reflected in the import-led trade and current account deficits, credit growth, high fiscal spending, equity and real estate market bubbles and risk of a wage-price spiral. Macro risks emerging from the above-potential growth resulted in S&P and Fitch ratings downgrades.
Delayed and inadequate responses to fight inflation heightened investor risk aversion causing the exchange rate to decline by almost 30% in the forwards and black market, leading to expectations of a speculative attack on the currency and taking the stock market down by over 50% in early 2008. Like India, the central bank worried about the second-round price effects has undertaken delayed yet aggressive monetary tightening and devalued the currency by 2% along with measures to contain asset bubbles and to monitor bank lending.
These measures along with govt's price control, trade restrictions, lower infrastructure spending have helped overeating sources to slow down off late. Growth has also weakened from a high of 8.5% in 2007 to 5.5% by Q2 2008 and is only expected to slow ahead as U.S. slowdown and oil price correction impact exports and the manufacturing sector even as higher lending rates and erosion of real wages affect private demand. Yet, there are calls for further monetary tightening, exchange rate flexibility and administrative measures to control possible risks from the very high negative real interest rates.

We need startups, and startups need business plan
The subject of my last column was the fact that since the first of the year, it seems our nation is experiencing a renewal of faith in our economy. Looking at the stock market's rapid rise and the recent activity in private business, it is obvious there is willingness on the part of corporate America to invest or reinvest.
I also stated that this is very apparent regionally, shown by the activity experienced within the two loan pools administered by the Chamber — the Amsterdam Downtown Association for Business (DAB), and the Gloversville Economic Development Corporation (GEDC).
We have had more activity and application requests in the past three months than in the entire two years prior. And, what is more amazing, three more requests came forth since that last article in the paper.
I know it seems that I'm going in that direction, but my intention is not to rewrite my last article, just to give a little background for my current subject matter.
What is happening today is surely a great sign for our economy. According to CNN Money, new startup businesses were at a 40-year low in 2014, at only 452,835. While this may seem like a lot, it must also be noted that according to Bloomberg, eight out of 10, or an astounding 80 percent, of startups, crash and burn within the first 18 months, and that has been a fairly consistent statistic over the years.
Start-ups are essential to America's economic health, and the reason is quite simple; fewer new startups mean fewer new jobs. There has been a slight uptick in startups since 2014, and maybe this year will be a boom. But the number of failures needs to be reduced.
From my own observations from interviewing loan applicants, I have found almost all are excited about the prospect of operating their own business. All seem quite knowledgeable about the product or service they envision providing, and virtually every one of them is completely confident in the business' potential to succeed.
But what I also find is that, unfortunately, so many have no business plan. Not enough people understand the basic rule that failing to plan is planning to fail.
When an individual applies for a business loan, we ask for some basic information which includes a business plan, and if currently in business, a history of the business. This information, along with an interview, helps us to determine the applicant's ability to succeed and pay back the loan.
But more importantly, it shows that they have put enough time into the research that will determine whether the need for the service or product will equate to enough revenue for success. This plan should include a demographic study of the business' region, the desire for the product, existing competition within the market area, the potential for growth, and potential dangers to the success of the business. It should also include a pro-forma profit and loss, ideally going out five years. Understanding the ability to financially grow and succeed is as important to the borrower as it is to the lender. There are also other possible issues to consider such as the need for certain licenses, regulations and what type of business is best for the situation (sole proprietor DBA, LLC, Corporation, etc.). From the 1970s through the mid-2000s, new business growth was booming with the creation of 500,000 to 600,000 startup businesses created annually, and then the great recession hit, stalling that process.
Entrepreneurship is paramount to America's economic vitality and extension.
The mission of the Fulton Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce is to support our region's economic growth.

This is Rebecca Hernandez and her high school sweetheart, Frankie. The couple began dating when they were teenagers and got married in 2012 after Rebecca finished college.
Frankie is in the Marines, so the couple moved out of their home state of Texas soon after they got married. They also adopted a puppy, Apollo, when he was a month old.
Hernandez told BuzzFeed News that her pup "had us on our toes since day one."
"[He is] always doing something he wasn't supposed to and constantly destroying anything we ever bought him," she said. "But he is extremely loving and really spoiled by everyone in his life."
However, the couple soon started having problems. Rebecca said they were "both at fault" for the issues, adding that they "were babies who got married young."
"It's been rocky," she said. "We've had a lot of growing up to do. We still get sentimental when we speak because we will always love each other."
The couple has now been separated for two years, though neither of them has yet filed for divorce. Rebecca took Apollo with her after they split, but Frankie is still a part of his life.
"When [Frankie] comes down to visit his family he will sometimes come and visit [Apollo]," Rebecca said. "Apollo goes crazy for him."
Frankie also sends Apollo gifts on his birthday. For his recent birthday, he sent the pup a Petco gift card.
He also sent the pup an adorable card and wrote a super sweet (and long!) message.
He ended the card with "Continue to be there for her like you were for me." ?

Northern Ireland football star Stuart Dallas has proved that not only is he a whizz at the 'beautiful game', but has a beautiful heart as well.
While on honeymoon with his new wife Juneve, the newly weds met a homeless man in Las Vegas.
And instead of walking on by, the inspirational couple took him to a shop to buy what ever he needed.
Juneve posted a picture of Stuart and the man on Facebook, saying: "The amount of homeless people here is so sad. To bring this man into the shop an get him whatever he wanted, how much he appreciated it, the tears were rolling down his face. This world is so cruel."
But a Cookstown woman, who has praised this amazing act of kindness said, it is not the only selfless act the Cookstown football legend has carried out in recent times.
Judith Wilson, whose eight-year-old son is unwell, said the winger paid little Alex a visit the day after the Northern Ireland's massive homecoming celebration at Titanic, and just an hour before he left to go on honeymoon.
"He came to our home the day after the big night in the Titanic Quarter and one hour before he left for his honeymoon to see our Alex," she explained.
"He is eight and has been quite ill from March and was in and out of Antrim hospital from that time.
"My husband Stephen Wilson sent him a message to ask him could he come see Alex and spend some time with him.
"Stuart Dallas is Alex's favourite Northern Ireland player and role model," she added, "he even had to get his hair done like his - and he replied within minutes saying he would love to come see Alex.
"Alex got the shock of his life when he opened the front door and Stuart was there. Honestly what a guy... And an absolute treasure to Cookstown."

Had friends over last night for sort of a potluck.
We provided baked potatoes, butter, salad, dessert and adult beverages.
Everyone else brought toppings for the baked potatoes.
We had: ham, bacon, taco meat, cheeses, sour cream, tomatoes, salsa and taco chips.
I've been wanting to do this for a while.
It was a fun evening.
Mom is nearly done quilting the throw.
Last weekend I got the parts cut for two table runners.
The other one will look like this but, different fabrics.
Pretty much took all afternoon to get it done but, it is ready to be quilted.
Update on Hocus Pocus.
Nearly 2/3's done.
I made a new dessert recipe last night...Pumpkin Bars. They turned out great.
Pumpkin Bars
2 c. pumpkin
2 c. sugar
3/4 c. melted butter
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2. flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon but I used 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice.
Mix the first 5 ingredients. Mix the dry ingredients together and add to the pumpkin mixture. Spray a jelly roll sheet or 2 9x13 pans. Bake a 325 for 25-30 minutes or until done. Cool completely
Frosting: 4 oz cream cheese softened
6 Tbsp milk
1 stick of butter
1 tsp vanilla
Powdered sugar.
Mix the first four ingredients until smooth. Add enough powdered sugar to make a creamy frosting.
Hope you had a great weekend
Keep on stitching

What a thing to be thankful for!
First, Mom and Grandma helped me do a little grocery shopping.
Needless to say, the challah was the most delicious thing on the face of this good earth.
Our feast looked a little something like this...
And have I mentioned we're thankful for challah? We are. Most definitely.
We're thankful to be in Kosovo, and we're also thankful that we'll be spending Christmas in Barcelona this year! We're wildly thankful that a fluke overbooking got us upgraded to the penthouse suite of our already-discounted hotel there (yay God)!
We're thankful for all the crazy ways God finds to bless us—surprise flowers from friends, words of encouragement, days of rest. But most of all, we are thankful that He is with us. Always, and to the very end.
May God be with you always, and may we all be thankful,
Liz (and Sam)

'FDI in retail not a threat to kirana shops'
"I don't think FDI in retail is threat to small retailers. Modern retail is the expanding segment. Those who say that the small sector would be hurt, I think they are wrong by the way," Ahluwalia said in a CNN-IBN TV programme Devil's Advocate.
Asked that the much-hyped reform was once opposed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as then Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha in 2002, Ahluwalia said, "I don't recall what was said by every person on every day. Things move forward, perceptions change, circumstances change. I don't think that there is any lack of clarity on FDI in retail. BJP was at that time pro-reform."
When asked about the impact of FDI in retail in Thailand where 67 per cent of the kirana shops had to be closed down.
he said, "Look it is based on some studies I am not familiar with. Central point that we should make is, in a growing economy, if we have to achieve our objective of 8 per cent (economic) growth, in that kind of growth scenario total size of retail market is going to be more than double in a very short time."
Lauding the government's decision to notify FDI in retail, Ahluwalia said, "This is a structural change. I don't believe modern retail can expand fast enough to raise real wages. What happened in Thailand is not a predictor, what will happen here. In the next 20 to 30 years, do you want small retailers to have same share what it is today. I think it is completely wrong. This is like saying when taxis were introduced the share of tangas (horse cart) went down, one could bring them back, no."
When asked what would be the impact on retail which is the second biggest employer in India with 44 million jobs, he said, "I think it is complete misreading because you need to look at, do you want modernisation of retail sector or not. If you want modernisation of retail sector, you want a upward pressure on quality of employment, modern retail produces better quality of jobs."

One Tree Hill. New Girl. Friday Night Lights. Orange is the New Black. How I Met Your Mother.
What do these random shows all have in common you might ask. They are on Netflix. My semi-addiction became real when One Tree Hill was added to the website. I was so excited that I decided to watch the whole series all over again. Some might have marked that a waste of my time. Seeing that there are 187 episodes that are 43 minutes each totaling to 8,041 minutes or 134 hours or 5 and half days, I could probably agree that this period of my life was not my most productive. Watching the series sparked a love in me and it continued when I came to college.
During my first semester, my roommate decided she wanted to watch One Tree Hill and I agreed to watch with her, again. After that series, I started watching New Girl with my new boyfriend. Then I moved to Friday Night Lights with my sister. How I Met Your Mother was next with my friend Jackie. Orange is the New Black was last with my mom.
That is a lot of time spent in front of the television. And I do not care how bad people say that is for you because I believe the relationships were built or strengthened because of it. It doesn't matter how much we were drooling over Tim Riggins is or why we were laughing at Barney, it doesn't matter as much about the show as it does the people that it brings into your life. Netflix brought people in my life and gave us an hour to sit down, take a break, and enjoy each other's company through something we both enjoyed.
One Tree Hill brought two awkward freshman roommates together. New Girl made a long distance relationship have something to look forward to together every week. Friday Night Lights showed me that my sister spent so many weekends on the couch with me because she felt we had drifted a part. Orange is the New Black made my mom and I a lot more comfortable with each other. And How I Met Your Mother brought two unlikely friends to be roommates.
Relationships, whether personal or professional, help guide our lives. We are made as relational beings. All humans have a desire to connect and be a part of someone else's life. People are meant to be with other people. Having that common ground, or shared experience can give family, friends, or strangers an experience they will always share. I believe that some of the best relationships are built in a shared mutual experience. Colleagues connect over the love of their profession, teammates bond over the pride of their team, some bond over food, and I build some of my relationships through Netflix. I believe in the power of building relationships through shared experiences.

The Second Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCC) Youth Camp
The second SCO Youth camp was held in Shanghai and Beijing from 21st to 29th August 2017, where more than 160 participants of SCO member and observers participated in it.
Afghanistan, which is one of the observers in SCO, also took part in it. One of the researchers of the Center for Strategic and Regional Studies (CSRS) Ahmad Bilal Khalil was part of the Afghan delegation.
Compared to other regional organizations, the SCO region is less connected in youth and cultural aspects; that is why while speaking in the Ufa city of Russia, the Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated on starting the youth camps under the SCO. At that time Beijing also took the responsibility of convening the first five camps.
The first SCO youth camp was held in the Xinjiang and Chinese Magnolia and the second was organized in Shanghai and Beijing.
The participant of the meeting and the researcher of CSRS Ahmad Bilal Khalil believes that the meeting had three fundamental objectives; first, reconnecting SCO region culturally. Second, gathering the youth of SCO countries in a network. Third, giving a cultural aspect to the SCO, which until now has largely been a security and economic bloc because culture plays a significant role when it comes to economic integration.
The issue of economic cooperation between the countries, the expansion and implementation of the Silk Road and cultural relations were discussed in this meeting.
This meeting had three aspects; first, academic meetings and conferences. Second, tourism, Sinology, and the expansion of relations between the SCO youth. Third, the expansion of relations between the traders and entrepreneurs.
In the first part, two lectures regarding the "One belt, one road" was delivered. Then a cultural forum and a roundtable of young entrepreneurs were organized. In the second aspect, meetings between the delegations of the member countries and visiting the Chinese historical Great Wall was included. In the third aspect, a meeting was held between the entrepreneurs of SCO, and at the end, a statement was also released. The statement included recommendations regarding increasing the capacity of young entrepreneurs and the expansion of relations between the youth of SCO.

These days many Holdem players are learning how to play Omaha in search of weaker games since Holdem games are starting to fill up with players who know what they are doing. There is no better time than right now to learn how to play Omaha. Aside from the fact that when playing Omaha you are dealt four cards the actual rules of the game do not differ that much from the rules of Holdem. Making the transition from Holdem to Omaha can be quite tricky and before you even think about trying Omaha out you need to know the basics of rules.
The first major difference between Omaha and Holdem is preflop. Before the flop in a game of Omaha poker each player at the table will be dealt four cards. The small blind and big blind operates the same way as you would expect it to in a Holdem game. Preflop betting is also more or less the same depending on which variation of Omaha you are playing. Pot limit and limit Omaha are the most popular forms of the game.
It is key to remember that when you play Omaha you must use two cards from your own hand to make a made hand. So, if you want to make a flush or a straight you need to be holding two cards that fit. Unlike Holdem where are allowed to use just one card from your hand to make a made hand. This is one of the most common mistakes you see from new Omaha players so make sure you fully understand this rule before you sit down to play.
After preflop betting the flop comes down exactly the same way as you would see in a Holdem game with three community cards face up in the middle of the table. A round of betting then takes place starting with the out of position player, identical to Holdem. The fourth card, known as the turn card, is then dealt face up followed by the river card face up. In fact barring the fact that you have two more cards than you do when you play Holdem the games are virtually identical. The same hand values that are used in Holdem are used to determine who wins in Omaha.
If you are planning to give Omaha poker a go and you have come from a Holdem background then it is a good idea to check out some Omaha strategy before you start. Even though on the surface the two games appear very much alike the value of certain hands decreases massively when playing Omaha due to the fact that you are dealt four cards to begin with as opposed to two. Expect to see extremely big hands on a much more frequent basis when you play Omaha.

WOW! Have you read the new book Unglued? I must say it is spot on.
I honestly don't have the time or energy to read many books so I have a membership through audible.com for audiobooks and have LOVED being able to listen to some great authors.
In her new release Unglued, Lysa helps us take our labels off and address the roots of what "unglues" us. She shares personal experiences from her own life and how God has chiseled her through those times to Lord willing, be a better wife, mom, and woman.
I listened to her until 2am because as she is narrating her own book, she sounds like a friend in my living room. A friend that has made many of my same mistakes. I actually found myself asking God… how could you let her write "my" book? The answer was of course that He hasn't chiseled my form quite enough yet. I need this book and the practical, common sense advice that is both simple and profound. Why haven't I already made road maps for responses? I learned in Bible school that you should make a decision about a decision before you have to make the decision. In other words, have a plan and know how to stand in that plan. Don't come unglued by other people, things, or events, because there is already a procedure in place to follow. WOW. A procedure that has Jesus as it's core and foundation. How simple, how obvious, and yet how many times do I just lose it and blow my testimony, especially with my greatest ministry right now, my children. Too many times for sure.
I am breezing through this audio book for the first time because I love listening to her and find myself wanting more and more. I know that I will listen again and slow my pace to have a focused change of heart.
I highly recommend this book, and it really isn't for only women, I have heard the men on K-LOVE radio talking about their own perspective changes that they have learned from this book.

The city of Detroit yesterday joined a torrent of an estimated 400 cities, counties and states suing opioid makers. Their main allegation: the companies are complicit in an addiction crisis that has killed about 37,000 people in the U.S. in just the 12-month period ending in May, or 103 per day.
- Read this statistic: When you add in heroin, to which opioid addicts often turn because it's cheaper and often easier to obtain, the 12-month number of opioid deaths through May exceeds 53,000, meaning 145 people per day.
More suits will be filed this week in Illinois, and Paul Hanly, one of the leading lawyers for the plaintiffs, tells Axios that the number of cases will rise to almost 1,000 by this time next year, a deliberate strategy of driving the opioid-makers to the negotiating table. The suits, first filed in 2014, have vastly accelerated pace this year. In a settlement, Hanly said, "we're talking tens of billions if not hundreds of billions for a nationwide resolution." The lawyers' model is 1990s litigation that led to a $246 billion settlement with Big Tobacco under similar allegations.

Indoor Air Purifier Installation & Repair Services
Superior Mechanical's experienced staff is able to install, repair or replace a wide variety of indoor air quality systems systems that will keep your home clean, fresh, and contaminant-free.
If you do not yet have an air purifier, here are some factors to consider when making your selection. If you are unsure which system will be best for your home, our qualified HVAC technicians will be happy to offer their professional advice.
Choose the right size for the room
It is important to select an air purifier that will be able to properly clean the area it is placed in. Buying a large air purifier and running it on a low setting is highly preferable to running a small purifier on a high setting, because the smaller device will use much more energy.
Particle-elimination percentage
The best air purifiers will trap a high amount of particulates in one cycle of air. We recommend selecting a purifier that traps well over 90% of particles in one single exchange. Most air purifier brands will list this percentage on the packaging; if the percentage is not listed at all, it is probably very low. Additionally, in order to have truly clean air, an air purifier should be able to exchange a room's air several times per hour (we recommend at least 5 times).
Air flow
An ideal purifier both removes a high percentage of particles and has strong air flow. This combination is often referred to as the Clean Air Delivery Rate, or CADR. The higher the CADR rating, the faster the air purifier will clean the air.
Filter Change Indicator Lights
A filter change indicator light is extremely useful in alerting you when it's time to change your filter. If you cannot remember the last time the filter was changed, you can simply check the device itself.

Ryan Bader On Beating Nogueira, His Future
Ryan Bader knows what can happen when you get ahead of yourself inside the Octagon.
That's why "Darth" took a wait-and-see approach recently during his victory over Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
With the third round finish, Bader improved to 7-1 over his last eight fights. The bout was his last on his current UFC contract, but the former Ultimate Fighter winner is expected to sign a new deal.
"Nogueira is always tough. I was surprised how tough he was again," Bader said (thanks to MMA Fighting for the quotes). "The first round, I hit him with some hard shots. One thing I learned in my career is to be patient. Last time in Brazil I wasn't patient, and I paid for it, so I picked my shots. I started to feel better in the third than I did in the first. I wasn't rushing anything.
"I got the Lil' Nog fight and now here we are. Look, I love the UFC and I love fighting in the UFC. Gotta make sense, though. I've been a top 5 for a while, and I want big fights. There's a big fight coming up in December, so we'll talk with them and see where we go from here."

Guess everybody missed the big red flag flapping in the wind warning people to stay out of the water…
You obviously did not grow up in a surfer's paradise.
Used to dream of these conditions, you never hear of surfers in trouble just the large American tourist on a calm day in a rip. get a life real talk let them enjoy the waves.
Well, I still have the surfboard but I need to find a way to shave off a few decades & some pounds to use it. Used to surf Hungry Bay, The Reef, Dunkleys, Windsor Beach & one memorable day INSIDE Castle Island. We were a dedicated few back then. Nice to see that the sport is still alive & well.
Reminds me of home. Surfs up dudes and girls. I so love to see the surfers out on the water.

logiCAD3 is the engineering software to create control applications on Revolution Pi. The logi.RTS runtime system is pre-installed on RevPi and is automatically started upon booting.
logiCAD3 itself has to be installed on a development computer (Windows or Linux). logiCAD3 can be acquired free of charge as a Download from our online shop.
After starting logi.CAD3, you have to set up a new projects using File/new (Datei/Neu). There is a sample project titled "logi.CAD3 KUNBUS Revolution Pi Projekt" in the "logi.CAD3 Beispielprojekte für Hardware-Anbindung" file.
In project explorer, one can open the RevolutionPi.iecplc file in the new project. One has to enter the IP address of the RevPi in the upper section. Tasks are defined in the lower part. Nothing needs to be changed here at the moment.
As the next step, one has to configure the hardware in PiCtory.
- Enter the IP address of your RevPi Core in the address box of your browser.
The log-in window opens.
- Login with the user name "admin".
- Enter your password. You will find the sticker on the side of your RevPi Core.
- Click on "Login"
You can now see the current status of your RevPi Core.
- Click "Apps" tab.
- Click the start button behind the entry "PiCtory" to start PiCtory.
PiCtory opens.
Dragging a module onto an already existing module will replace the latter. There are only 2 restrictions: RevPi Core cannot be replaced and gateways always have to be in the most outer position. If you click on the number above the pictures of the modules and drags it then you can change the order.
As the next step, you can give the inputs and outputs better names to the bottom right in Value Editor. Ticking Export in the variable allows the variable to be used later in logi.CAD3.
Now the current configuration has to be saved in PiCtory with File/Save and activated with Tools/Reset Driver.
With File/Export, a little choice box will be opened. After selecting Structured Text IEC 61131-3 and entering a file name, the definition of the global variable will be created and opened in an editor. Copy then whole text in clipboard.
Back in logi.CAD3, you open the sample.global file in the globals folder, delete its contents and insert instead the text from the clipboard.
Now you can open the RevolutionPiProgram in the src/RevPi folder and insert variables defined in PiCtory in the VAR_EXTERNAL section.
The above example always turns off and on the first output of the DIO module Output_Pin_1. At the same time, the green LED A1 on RevPi will be turned off and on.
In the Applikationstest view, you can connect up to the RevPi by pressing the button with the two green cogs and then start the programme by pressing the start button. The LED A1 on RevPi should now start blinking green and the O1 output will be turned on and off.

(as far as you know) Just kidding!
Tomorrow is our 5th wedding anniversary and since we will be in the car at 4 am, I won't be able to post this on the actual anniversary.
So do I have her fooled or what??? What a hot momma she was and has gotten more beautiful every single day. This shot was taken on the lawn of the Bar Harbor Inn. Guess where we are headed for vacation?? Correct! Maine and to the Bar Harbor Inn.
It also happens to work out that we will be going to Hawaii in October and that's where we were for our honeymoon. I won the trip for work and we are going to tack on an extra week and jet-set around the islands.
Babe, you are my everything. Forever.

This is an old revision of the document!
Research in Gupta Lab focuses on key biological processes related to Cell Signalling, Cell Proliferation and Cell Differentiation. The questions of our interest are:
These questions form the basis of our work to understand the mechanisms of normal processes and diseases, such as cancer and neuronal degeneration. For this we are using two well-known nematode (worm) model organisms C. elegans and C. briggsae. These tiny animals (roughly 1 mm long) are particularly useful in discovering the roles of conserved genes and pathways in processes that are shared among all eukaryotes.
Our approach is multidisciplinary and includes techniques in genetics, genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and engineering. We collaborate extensively with other laboratories, both at McMaster and outside, to develop new tools and resources. The applied aspect of our work involves making use of basic research findings and in-house tools to carry out drug discovery projects.
Research projects in our lab are currently funded by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). In previous years we were also supported by Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation (MRI), Canadian Research Chairs (CRC), Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), Ontario Innovation Trust (OIT), and National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, comments and feedback. Thank you!

Worshiping Money
The world has become an idolator of this god called money.
- Pope Francis
Money has never made man happy, nor will it,
there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness.
The more of it one has, the more one wants.
- Benjamin Franklin
The wise man does not lay up his own treasures.
The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own.
- Lao Tzu
Wealth consists not in having great possessions,
but in having few wants.
- Epictetus
Money won't make you happy...
but everybody wants to find out for themselves.
- Zig Ziglar
When money ceases to be merely a medium of exchange,
and becomes an object of lust, something is terribly wrong.

Heritage Academy offers University-Model Schooling options for students in grades K5 through 12th with quality teaching, parent partnership, and scope and sequence of courses built into the program to ensure that your student is "College ready Day one".
To find out more about each division of our school (Primary, Elementary, and Secondary) select the menu items to the right.
Parent Roles in the educational process
In a University-Model School®, parents commit to fulfill a specified role related to each course in which their student is enrolled, as prescribed by the course's description. Each role identifies specific responsibilities that the teacher relies on the parent to perform, thus facilitating effective home/school partnership whereby students are assured of receiving needed support. In general, the assigned role will be one of the following:
Primary Teacher
At the primary level, Heritage Academy offers only enrichment courses for students, which provide an opportunity to integrate a variety of emerging skills, including literacy, reasoning skills, and fine motor skills in a classroom setting. However, for students this age, parents remain fully responsible for providing all core instruction – beginning with letter and number awareness and recognition, building basic literacy skills, reading comprehension, writing, math reasoning, etc.
Private Tutor
Courses involving this role are made successful because each student has a private tutor (the parent) at home, who is willing and ready to assist. Parents will receive instructions from the classroom instructor on a regular basis outlining homework assignments, follow-up study/instruction over covered material, and any preparation or review needed for their child's next class.
Guide for Dependent Study
This role will usually relate to parents with children in grades seven through ten. Many courses at this level will begin to cover subject matter that is unfamiliar to many parents. At the same time, the student is at a dependent age where disciplined study habits must be developed, not by parental force, but through positive encouragement and through the student's growing awareness of personal consequences. In order for these classes to be successful, the teacher is dependent upon the parents to ensure that their son or daughter keeps up with the course material and to communicate to the instructor any difficulties that should arise.
Guide to Independent Study
Academic courses at the eleventh and twelfth grade level will usually involve this role by the parent. The parent has the opportunity to monitor the independent schoolwork performed by the student while it is still possible to provide additional guidance if needed. Courses offered by Heritage Academy at this level will mimic that of a junior college program where independent study skills and disciplined planning for completing homework assignments are necessary.
Course Monitor
Some courses will involve equipment or expertise that necessitate that teaching be done in the classroom and leave little instruction for the parent at home. This role, therefore, will require the least amount of time by the parent, but its importance must not be understated. The primary responsibility of the parents is to track the progress of their son or daughter and to monitor how well they are doing. Parents need to show an active interest in their child's studies and should inform the instructor if problems develop.
Project Assistant
Parent involvement is needed, but not on a regular basis. This role is in many respects similar to that of the Course Monitor but will be needed one or more times during the semester for specific projects. Drama courses, for example, might involve additional help for student costuming, working on sets, etc.
Parent Coach
The role of the parent coach is to provide individual practice and instruction to their son or daughter at home. The head coach will organize the sport, direct team practices, and communicate to the parent coaches any information and directions concerning home practice.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.—UMass Boston volleyball rolled to a pair of victories on the final day of the regular season to finish the Skidmore College Invitational with a perfect 3-0 mark.
UMass Boston 3, SUNY Potsdam 1
UMass Boston 3, Union College (N.Y.) 0
(UMass Boston 13-15)
(SUNY Potsdam 12-15)
(Union College 12-21)
Junior Eileen Shi (San Francisco, Calif.) earned Co-MVP honors of the Skidmore College Invitational after becoming the fifth player in program history to reach 1,000 kills.
In three matches this weekend, Shi posted 40 kills and 40 digs to help the Beacons knock off a trio of New York opponents. Fellow junior Rachel Maslach (Berlin Center, Ohio) joined Shi on the All-Tournament team after a fantastic weekend of her own.
In the opener on Saturday, SUNY Potsdam took the first 25-20, before UMass Boston rolled off three-straight set wins of 25-22, 25-22 and 25-19.
Shi paced the Beacons with 15 kills in the victory and tacked on eight digs and two aces. Sophomore Emilia Czapiewska (Saint Paul, Minn.) was the most effective hitter in the contest. She finished with 14 kills and hit a team-best .312, while adding four digs and three block assists.
Sarah Doyle (Glendale, Calif.) was the final Beacon to finish with double-digit kills, as she chipped in with 12 kills on 26 swings.
Maslach finished with a match-high 27 assists, while Macayla Chianco (Clearwater, Fla.) tacked on a match-high 18 digs.
The Beacons closed out the weekend with their most convincing win of the tournament, as they downed Union College 3-0. The Beacons took the first set 25-23, before limiting the Dutchmen to just 17 and 14 points in the final two sets.
Czapiewska kept her momentum going as she registered a match-high 11 kills and .320 hitting percentage. Shi finished second with nine kills and 15 digs, while Doyle added seven kills on 11 swings for a .636 hitting percentage.
Maslach and Carsen Komminsk (Westerville, Ohio) each had 15 assists in the win, while Shi and Chianco tied for the match-high with 15 digs.
- The Beacons were the only team in the six-team Skidmore Invitational field to finish without a loss.
- After suffering an upset loss on Tuesday, the Beacons head into the LEC Tournament riding their second winning streak of three games or more this fall.
- The Beacons held SUNY Potsdam to a .067 hitting percentage and Union to a .036 hitting percentage on Saturday.
- Shi has recorded 1,012 kills and 840 digs in 90 career matches. She sits fifth all-time in career kills and eighth in career digs. With 160 more digs, Shi would become only the third player in program history to reach the 1,000 kills and digs mark.
UMass Boston will host the winner of #4 Plymouth State University and #5 Western Connecticut State University on Thursday night in the Little East Conference Semifinals.

Ever wondered how certain rail schemes get the go-ahead, whilst you sit on an overcrowded or late train starved of investment? Well so do we. That's why it's good news that Chris Grayling, the Secretary of State for Transport, has announced a new process for major upgrades to the rail network.
in a departure from the previous approach, the government will allocate funds separately for major upgrades following a new process to ensure they are deliverable and secure the best value for money for the tax payer. This new process will be set out in more detail later this year.
This is something WLR has been calling for, to give more transparency and rigour to assessment, reducing the influence of lobbying and vested interests, as reported in Thames Valley Property a few days ago.

Pay Benefits: Once an insurable accident occurs and the damages have been reviewed, if it's discovered that the claim qualifies based on the benefits, time periods and exclusions given in your coverage, your insurance supplier has to pay you (beneficiaries too, if applicable) within the financial limitations of your policy. In that sense, they're the complement of life insurance and, from an underwriting perspective, are the mirror picture of life insurance. The life insurance payout pays debts similar to a mortgage, exchange your revenue and supply school tuition funds. She not solely explained each policy in a transparent method but also clarified all of my doubts.

When a Calgary DUI Defence Lawyer Can Help
Alberta's impaired driving or "DUI" laws are tough, as you know if you've read any of the previous information I've shared on the subject. Drivers in the Greater Calgary Area and throughout the province face administrative penalties for driving with a BAC (blood alcohol content) over .05, and can face criminal DUI charges for getting behind the wheel with a BAC over .08.
Under the current law, some penalties kick in automatically from the moment one is formally accused by the Calgary Police, RCMP, or other law enforcement agency. Before you are given a trial or other opportunity to raise a defence on your behalf, and even before the courts are made fully aware of law enforcement's suspicions such that charges have been laid against you by the Crown prosecutor, you can have both your vehicle and your driver's license taken away. To many, this flies in the face of the "innocent until proven guilty" maxim that is supposed to define the Canadian criminal justice system, however challenges to these automatic penalties have stood up despite court challenges.
So, given the state of DUI laws and the apparent inevitability of certain penalties, whether or not you are actually guilty of driving while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, what good can a Calgary DUI defence lawyer do for you? When should you contact one, and what can you expect them to do on your behalf?
The answer may surprise you.
Anyone Detained, Arrested, or Charged with a DUI in Calgary is Entitled to a Lawyer
Although Alberta's impaired driving laws may seem to erode the presumption of innocence that is spelled out in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, there is one Charter protection that is still very much in place. Anyone who is charged with a rime of any kind in Canada—including anyone in the Greater Calgary Area who is charged with, arrested for, or simply detained on suspicion of a DUI—is entitled to speak with a criminal defence lawyer before discussing their case with the Calgary police, Crown prosecutors, or other law enforcement and court officials.
And contacting a lawyer as soon as possible is almost always in your best interests.
There are certain law enforcement requests you must comply with, including submitting to a roadside breath analysis of your BAC and performing field sobriety tests if asked to do so by the Calgary Police or another law enforcement officer. You must also accompany law enforcement to an approved law enforcement facility for further blood and/or urine analysis if they have reason to believe you are intoxicated while driving. Beyond that and the basic requirement to identify yourself, though, you do not need to answer any other questions before speaking with a lawyer.
A Calgary DUI defence lawyer can help determine if your initial stop was lawful, and can discuss your case with Calgary Police on your behalf in an attempt to mitigate any automatic penalties, avoiding them altogether in some cases. An experienced impaired driving lawyer will also be able to negotiate your case with Crown prosecutors and represent you in a criminal defence trial, if necessary, giving you the best possible chance at putting these charges behind you quickly and completely.
If you or a family member has been charged with impaired driving in the Greater Calgary Area, call DUI defence lawyer Susan Karpa today and get the help you're entitled to.
