In this extract from her new book, Rachel Sherman sets out to understand how wealthy New York parents decide to spend their money and enters a world of moral conflict and self-doubt
Scott and Olivia, both 39, live with their three children in a large pre-war apartment in Manhattan. They spend weekends and vacations at their second home in the Connecticut countryside. Their children attend a prestigious private school, they employ a part-time personal assistant as well as a nanny-housekeeper and occasionally a personal chef. On aeroplanes they usually travel in business class, though when the children were small the family often flew on private planes.
Fueling this lifestyle is Scott's inherited wealth, generated by a business his grandfather founded. After earning Ivy League BA and MBA degrees, Scott worked in finance for several years but now focuses on a small technology business he started that supports non-profits, as well as playing an active role on the board of his children's school. Olivia is also Ivy League educated, although she comes from a working-class family. She has an MA in social work but works for pay only occasionally, spending most of her time taking care of the children and maintaining the household.
Scott had been self-conscious about his wealth since he was a child. He recalled feeling sensitive to comments classmates would make about the size of his family's house. In college he became a leftist and obscured his background as much as possible, but classmates ultimately found out that he was a "secret rich guy" and taunted him about the family's company, which was associated with abuses of workers' rights.
When I talked with Olivia, she described feeling uncomfortable having married into wealth. Although she felt that it was easy to spend money helping other people or creating a home for her children, she had trouble spending only on herself, particularly because it was money she hadn't earned. Quite liberal politically, she and Scott were both especially aware of those who had less. They also worried about their children and how to instil in them the desire to work.
Scott and Olivia's internal conflicts about their wealth cropped up especially in their feelings about their living space. When I interviewed Scott in 2009, he was overseeing renovation of an Upper West Side apartment worth $4.5m, which they had bought primarily because they believed that each of their children should have his or her own room. But they felt conflicted about living there. When I asked why, Scott said, "Do we want to live in such a fancy place? Do we want to deal with the person coming in and being like, 'Wow!'"
When I talked with Olivia a few years later, the family was living in their new home. But the transition had not been easy for her. In fact, she had initially been so uncomfortable with the apartment that they had considered not moving into it. The previous owner had done a significant renovation, which she found unbearably ostentatious. She said, "I mean, we're doing our best, with our clutter and junk, to, like, take the majesty and grandeur out of it. But, when I come [home], I feel like 'this isn't me' … This doesn't reflect who I feel like I am in the world, and who I want to be in the world."

Jamieson does his part in Town Proud campaign
BUYING an egg and lettuce sanger at Neddy's Nosebag in Beerwah is exactly what Town Proud is about for Mayor Mark Jamieson.
"You can imagine the eggs come from a poultry farm nearby and the lettuce from a lettuce farm," Cr Jamieson said.
"It's about buying local and keeping local jobs local."
But there is much more to offer in the country town, and a multi-million dollar revamp of the town centre is going to help ensure Beerwah gains a personality of its own.
Cr Jamieson said Beerwah was an important commercial centre of the hinterland.
"This is why we are investing so much into the beautification and realignment of the main street," he said.
Cr Rick Baberowski said the council was busy planting 60 new street trees and 2000 plants to enhance the natural character of the area.

International Consultancy Project / Buddy Programme
International Consultancy Project / Buddy Programme
All our visiting graduate international exchange students participate in the Master Exchange Programme. Some of these international exchange students will be participating in the International Consultancy Project. This programme is organised twice a year: in the autumn (September – December) and in the spring (end of January – end of May).
A select group of MSc students from RSM can also participate in the International Consultancy Project. We call this programme the 'International Consultancy Project/Buddy Programme'. The programme offers a great experience of studying and working with students from all over the world for a period of four months.
RSM students receive 12.5 EC for participation, which exempts them from one Master Free Elective.
Features when participating in the ICP/Exchange Ambassador Programme:
- In the beginning of the programme, the RSM student acts as an Exchange Ambassador for a group of about 5 students, who also participate in the International Consultancy Project;
- The student participates in a consultancy-style International Consultancy Project with a team of international students;
- The student continues with his/her regular master studies at RSM;
- The student builds up his/her CV and network of friends and future business contacts at the same time.
Because of its longstanding and excellent reputation, the International Consultancy Project is the primary reason to choose Rotterdam, say many of our incoming students. And the more students RSM receives from our partner schools, the more RSM can send in return.

Term Paper: Cause of War
Pages: 13 (4147 words) · Style: APA · Bibliography Sources: 13 · File: .docx · Topic: Drama - World
for $19.77
Clash of Civilizations - Samuel Huntington
In his book the Clash of Civilizations, Samuel Huntington explains that the end of the cold war also brought to a conclusion the way wars are fought based on ideology. Huntington asserts that the absence of the international image of two superpowers dominating world politics has opened the door to regional cultural and religious wars. He makes his points by combining statistics to prove his oversimplified theory of world demographics as an "indispensable guide to international politics." His arguments in that regard seem valid, lucid and convincing, but there are those who take issue with his positions. In fact much of what Huntington asserts can be objectively (based on history and the world today) challenged and indeed morally challenged as well. This paper will review Huntington's points and theories, and provide alternative viewpoints as well.
One reason in particular that Huntington's book was so widely discussed post-9/11 is because of Huntington's pre-9/11 contention (page 28) that the wars of the future (as mentioned above) will not be "between social classes, rich and poor, or other economically defined groups, but between peoples belonging to different cultural entities." Further, he wrote, "In the post-Cold War world, culture is both a divisive and a unifying force. People separated by ideology but united by culture come together..."
BODY of the PAPER:
Looking at his argument in more specific terms is helpful when examining Huntington's book and trying to be objective about his positions. On page 35 for example, Huntington alludes to the fact that while there are threats emerging from societies that are quite different in terms of their cultures, those and other states are increasingly losing their "sovereignty and power" because increasingly "international institutions" are pushing their power and their right to judge on states. Huntington presses forward with the notion that especially in Europe individual states have given up some of their important functions; he doesn't say specifically what entity has taken away individual state powers but it can be assumed he is talking about the European Union.
The borders of individual states are becoming "increasingly permeable," Huntington explains (p. 35). He believes that state governments no longer have the power to control the flow of money in and out of their states, nor the flow of "ideas, technology, goods, and people." He alludes to the ongoing weakening of states as "failed states" in a section of page 35 he calls "Sheer Chaos." And with this breakdown of states' authority, Huntington sees the "intensification of tribal, ethnic, and religious conflict" along with the growth of organized crime on an international basis. It would be hard to imagine a world in as much chaos as Huntington insists there was in 1996, when he published this book, so a reader has to wonder if the author was using exaggeration for emphasis and to get the attention of scholars and critics.
Still, he goes on to say that the end of the Cold War has opened the door to all this chaos, including the growth (by tens of millions) of refugees, the "proliferation of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, the explosive growth of terrorism, and the hideous specter of "ethnic cleansing" and massacres. He tries to give data in almost every case to back up his contentions; for example, he writes (p. 35) that since the end of the Cold War there have been "...an estimated 48 ethnic wars" and "164 'territorial-ethnic claims and conflicts concerning borders'...in the former Soviet Union..." (and thirty of those conflicts had become armed conflict of some degree, according to the author).
A few pages earlier, page 32, Huntington builds a case for "two worlds" ("us and them") which he claims has been the case throughout "human history." That two worlds concept fits the picture that Huntington is painting of the good guys and bad guys - but then he brings in the Muslim concepts, who have "traditionally divided the world into 'Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb' (the "abode of peace and the abode of war"). He doesn't say where that Muslim division of worlds will lead, but he adds that after the Cold War, the abode of peace and the abode of war were "reversed" by American scholars. The new division was said to be "zones of peace" (including the West and Japan, about 15% of the world's population) and "zones of turmoil" (everywhere and everyone else; 85% of the world's population).
What Huntington is getting at with his post-Cold War two worlds idea is that traditional definitions of "us and them" have changed; no longer is it a conflict on the international stage with rich nations bullying and colonizing poor, developing nations. Rather, the author posits, rich states may well battle over trade issues and poorer states may fight bloody wars with each other (as is commonplace in Africa, for example). But an international war like WWI or WWII is unlikely - "almost as far from reality as one happy harmonious world," he writes on page 33.
By pointing to the new battle lines that are drawn in this post-Cold War world Huntington is setting the stage for the most controversial thesis in his book, which is that Muslim cultures are more involved in wars and conflict than any other culture. As mentioned earlier, this book was published five years prior to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and at that time it stirred the wrath of Islamic scholars as well as firing up the radical islamists like bin laden, who were already in a full-court press of hatred toward Americans and the West.
Indeed, the various sub-cultures that make up the "culture" of Islam receive viciously condemning criticism in his book. Notably, on pages 256-258, Huntington asserts "...wherever one looks along the perimeter of Islam, Muslims have problems living peaceably with their neighbors." He goes on: "The question naturally rises as to whether this pattern of late-twentieth-century conflict between Muslim and non-Muslim groups is equally true of relations between groups from other civilizations. In fact, it is not."
Huntington continues: "Muslims make up one-fifth of the world's population but in the 1990s they have far more involved in intergroup violence than the people of any other civilization. The evidence is overwhelming."
He cites facts and dates; of the fifty "ethno-political conflicts in 1993-1994," Muslims participated in "twenty-six." He uses New York Times' figures when he points out that of the "forty-eight locations in which some fifty-nine ethnic conflicts" occurred in 1993, "...half [of] these places Muslims were clashing with other Muslims or with non-Muslims." And he cites data from Ruth Leger Sivard: in 1992, nine of twelve intracivilizational conflicts "were between Muslims and non-Muslims..." On page 258, he wrote: "Muslim states also have had a high propensity to resort to violence in international crises, employing it to resolve 76 crises out of a total of 142 in which they were involved between 1928 and 1979."
The book by Huntington was preceded by an article in the Summer 1993 issue of Foreign Affairs; responding to that article and to Huntington's book, Edward W. Said calls Huntington's approach "...a belligerent kind of thought" (Said, 2001). In an article (the Nation, October 22, 2001) published six weeks after the terrorist attacks on the United States Said insists that Huntington's greatly oversimplifies the issue.
By boiling things down to "the West" and "Islam" - which is "reckless" in Said's opinion - Huntington is taking "hugely complicated matters like identity and culture" and placing them in a "cartoon-like world where Popeye and Bluto bash each other mercilessly." And in that cartoon world of make-believe violence one of the two challengers is "...always more virtuous" than the other, and hence gets the upper hand.
Moreover, by boiling this cultural clash down to "the West" and "Islam" (or "Muslims" as Huntington uses often) Huntington is showing his ignorance of the fact that within every civilization there are "internal dynamics and plurality" - according to Said. Going a step or two farther in his attack on Huntington, Said asserts that by defining the two cultures the way he has done - basically by presuming to speak for a "whole region or civilization" - Huntington is using "a great deal of demagogy and downright ignorance."
And a big part of Huntington's wrong-headed theme throughout his book, Said continues, is that the West must continue to get stronger to "fend off" Islam. If Huntington believes his perspective is the correct one - which he clearly does or he wouldn't have gone to the trouble to publish articles and write a book on the topic - then, Said writes, his view is as though he is surveying the whole world "from a perch outside all ordinary attachments and hidden loyalties." Huntington's view is taken (Said offers) "...as if everyone else were scurrying around looking for answers that he has already found."
Those "civilizations" and "cultures" that Huntington takes liberties with in terms of his oversimplifications are… [END OF PREVIEW]

David Strong, DASL Director, says, ÔÇťKeeping safe and enjoying life without daily verbal harassment, physical threats, bullying or worse should be a right for all Disabled people. Sadly, through the work of our Hate Crime Advocacy service, we know that many Disabled residents have been victims of sustained and long term abuse by neighbours that has had a devastating impact on their lifeÔÇŁ.

Compared to previous generations when tooth loss was common, modern dentistry has made it possible for people to keep their teeth healthy and attractive for their entire lives. But for people who have experienced tooth loss, a full or partial denture has been the answer.
But dentures have drawbacks. Food gets caught under the denture with resulting sore gums. Or a denture can loosen and cause embarrassment.
Today, dental implants can replace missing teeth. Although the concept of a tooth implant is not new, advances in technology have improved the treatment process and the longevity of implants.
Modern day dental implants are made of pure titanium and are surgically inserted in the jawbone. The tooth implant is covered with gum tissue and allowed to heal for three to six months. During this time, the titanium meshes with the bone (osseointegration), becoming part of the jawbone itself. After the gums are healed, the implants are uncovered and permanent tooth replacements are attached to the implants.
Dental implants can be used for single tooth replacements, support for a permanent bridge, or as attachments to anchor a full denture securely to the jaw.
If you think a tooth implant could help you or someone you know chew more comfortably, speak more clearly, or look better, call your dental office for more details.
By Laura Minsk, DMD
When the concept of dental implants and the mechanisms in which they work were introduced to mainstream dentistry during the late 1970's, the advent of dental implants opened up an excitingly new chapter in dentistry.
Through the 1980's, the news of the successful procedure of dental implant surgery spread at an explosive rate. It took approximately ten years of repeated long-term success for the procedure to gain validity.
By the early 1990's dentists readily accepted implant dentistry as an adequate and routine substitute for missing teeth in all areas of the mouth.
Restoring dental implants has undergone a paradigm shift from simply validating that dental implants work to recreating missing teeth with a chameleon-like effect. Even though implants can be restored with a very high degree of success, one of the most difficult and critical areas in the mouth to achieve great esthetic results is in the upper front jaw -- specifically when replacing a single upper central incisor tooth.
Single-tooth implant dentistry present dentists with unique challenges. When a single central incisor tooth is removed due to periodontal disease, tooth decay, trauma, or nerve failure, the body responds by shrinking the bone and gum tissue in place of the missing tooth. The body no longer needs the supporting bone structure; therefore, the bone is decreased and the gum tissue shrinks because of bone resorption.
In order to achieve a natural appearance to the final restoration, restorative dentists must attempt to replace what nature he as taken away. An unnatural appearance will be the result if the tooth is replaced without considering augmenting or "plumping up" the support structures. It would be like placing a great painting in the wrong frame, thus having a diminished outcome.
Certain steps are necessary to achieve a successful outcome, especially in the most demanding implant cases, like replacing a single upper front tooth. Before the decision to place an implant is made, patients should know the sequential steps.
The process starts with a thorough exam. Clinically, dentists should examine the affected area and the entire mouth. A comprehensive exam of the bone and soft tissues must be performed along with taking specific X-rays and possibly detailed bone scans to identify any potential complications.
An analysis of your smile should also be performed. Do your teeth and gums show when you smile? Does your upper lip drape over your teeth? If the patient has a high lip line that shows teeth and gums, the need for bone and soft tissue grafting may be necessary.
By discussing several of the aspects necessary for implant treatment, you can be more aware of the possibilities, as well as the limitations, associated with implant dentistry. Armed with various soft and hard tissue grafting techniques, ceramic material advancements, and better dental implant components, dentists are able to satisfy even the most esthetically-minded patients.

The Intersection of Bankruptcy and… Environmental Law
Series: BANKRUPTCY INTERSECTIONS 2018
View the accompanying slideshow for free here.
This webinar provides CLE/CPE credit. Click the On Demand button below.
Environmental laws, propounded in order to hold polluters liable for remediation, are often in conflict with bankruptcy laws' general principles of a "fresh start" and the ability to shed certain financial burdens. Bankruptcy laws automatic stay is one such protection – the enjoinment of parties from taking actions against the debtor upon the filing of the bankruptcy petition – that is sometimes trumped by environmental law concerns, namely, the police and regulatory exception to the automatic stay.
This webinar addresses the tensions between bankruptcy and environmental law, and examines how bankruptcy law deals with property contamination issues, the sale or abandonment of contaminated property, successor liability, environmental cleanup claims, and dischargeability of governmental claims.

Many of you know that we had a miscarriage back in November of this past year. We would have been holding our sweet blessing sometime next week (our due date would have been next Friday). We will have to wait until glory to hold that sweet baby…or will it be a grown child? I don't understand all of that, but I know that God has promises and they are always kept.
Maybe that is why I am so excited for Champ to get here. We are 33 weeks and I know that the baby is NOT ready to be born yet. But in my heart I feel like I have been preg. for a long time. We were 5 weeks when we lost our baby and then we were preg. again within a couple weeks. Making me feel like I have been preg. for almost 9 months already.
My heart still longs for the sweet baby we won't get to meet here on Earth, but will have to wait until glory to meet. That seems so far away to me right now!
I didn't know how I would feel about a miscarriage or how I would deal with it. I don't think about it most days, but on days like this I think about it. Days when I know we would be delivering or would have already delivered. Also, my dear dear friend and I would have been due the same week. She is due on Monday and I keep thinking what it would be like to be preg. with her! God knows my heart, He knows my needs and wants! He knows what is best and He knows why in His perfect wisdom He had to take a baby away from us. I can only trust in Him and His timing and not my own. It can just be hard on the heart sometimes!

Correlation between Individual Stock and Corporate Bond Returns
53 Pages Posted: 29 Jan 2014
Date Written: January 27, 2014
This paper studies the correlations between individual bond and stock returns issued by the same firm using Trading Reporting and Compliance Engine prices. We employ panel data to analyze the determinants of the variation in estimated dynamic correlations using macroeconomic cycle indicators, firm risk measures, and specific bond characteristics. The results show that the correlations vary both over time and cross-sectionally. Specifically, aggregate factors approximating economic growth are not related to changes in correlations, but correlations decrease with negative expectations about future aggregate risks, although only for firms with a low default probability. However, the correlations are higher when the stock idiosyncratic risk and/or firm financial leverage increases. In contrast, the relation between correlations and the systematic stock risk is negative.
Keywords: individual corporate bonds, stock–bond return correlation, idiosyncratic risk, economic cycles

Fire crews are working to protect a private structure in the area and have been using single engine air tankers and a helicopter to drop water on the blaze.
No injuries have been reported.
Park officials on Tuesday closed an area between the preserve's northern boundary, Plains Trail, Nobles Grand and Interstate 75 due to the fire. No roads have been closed.
During the closure, all recreational use, including off-road vehicles, hiking, hunting, camping and commercial actives will be prohibited in the designated area.

The blaze started March 21 about 4 miles east of Collier Boulevard and 1 mile north of U.S. 41 East. Officials have said a lightning strike caused that fire.
Smoke inhalation can cause headaches, eye irritation, scratchy throats, and worsen asthma and other chronic lung conditions. Here are some tips to help. Derrick Shaw/USA TODAY Network - Florida

Uriah Heep
Played this album last night as I continued my music reorganisation, this album was fundemental in my early music appreciation development as it was one of my first "rock" purchases and it being a "Double Live Album In Colour Gatefold Sleeve" it set me off on a continual appreciation of live albums.
In addition to a live version of the band's hit "Easy Livin'", the record includes classic live cuts such as "Sweet Lorraine", "Sunrise", and an extended live version of "July Morning". While on tour in the States, Live 73 reached #13 in the UK charts.
The original album packaging as noted above was a lavish affair, typical of the early-1970s. Being a 2LP set it was a gatefold sleeve, with centre-pages featuring photographs of the band members.
Uriah Heep were my first band and the "Sweet Freedom" album was the first "new release" album that I bought from a favourite band as it was released in 1973 as well just a few months after the release of the live album.
Sweet Freedom is the sixth studio album released by Uriah Heep.
The original vinyl release was as a gatefold-sleeve, reproducing the lyrics within. There was also a central page with a photograph of each band member.
It was the first album of Uriah Heep's to be released by Warner Bros. Records in the USA.
Arguably the best-known song from Sweet Freedom is "Stealin'.
Take me across the water
cause I need some place to hide
I done the ranchers daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride
Well, theres a
Hundred miles of desert
Lies between his hide and mine
I dont need no food
And no water, lord
cos Im running out of time
Fightin, killin, wine and women
Gonna put me to my grave
Runnin, hidin, losin, cryin
Nothing left to save but my life
Stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin, when i
Shouldve been buyin
All that fightin, killin
Wine and those women
Gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin, hidin, losin, cryin
Nothing left to save but my life, life…
So I stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin, when i
Shouldve been buyin
I was stealin
When I shouldve been buyin
I was stealin
When I shouldve been buyin
Stealin, when i
Shouldve been buyin ..
I was stealin …

March served a great reflection on Women's History Month honoring the path women have traveled to get to where we are today, but throughout the month of April we're looking forward to the future of strong women in business, so let's continue the conversation about the importance of women in leadership roles.
Join us as we discuss female leadership roles in businesses and communities, tips on how businesswomen can pull ahead in the workplace and business ownership, interesting facts and statistics about businesswomen and leaders, and how women can step up within their industries and lead a new appreciation of female-driven business.
Why Mentorship Matters to Female Physicians
The healthcare industry is one of the largest and most vital work forces in the country, and that demand will only continue to increase as the senior population's need for a wide variety of healthcare services increases. So of course, the healthcare industry is especially important in our local Florida communities where the population of aging adults (60+) is estimated to rise by at least 33% by 2030, according to the Administration of Aging.
But what role do women play in this crucial industry? HR Advancement Center and Nursing Executive Center states women are already taking to the market in high numbers, and currently make up the majority of the healthcare employment demographic, but lack presence within key decision-making roles and executive-level positions. In fact, Modern Healthcare's list of "Most Influential People" historically is comprised of about 79% male honorees.
Statistics on Women in the Healthcare Sector
Clearly this industry needs a revamp in where female members are able to ascend to within their career spans. For this reason, the power of mentorship and awareness of opportunities can make an incredible difference in helping new female physicians emerge as leaders within the industry and lead the way for future generations of female physicians to see that women have a place not only in the operating room and on the wall of their own practice, but also in the boardrooms.
Strong Starts Lead to Stronger Careers
According to The Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the demand for more healthcare professionals in a variety of areas is estimated to rise at least 28% by the year 2022. Where do women fit in to the growing demand for physicians, surgeons and decision-making executives in these fields, and how can female medical leaders like you mentor up to continue the trend of women rising to the top of the medical field? To continue the rise of female representation in the highest levels of healthcare, female medical residents and new physicians should be brought under the wing of a strong and successful female mentor with a breadth of experience to learn and grow from. Notably, sharing the importance of owning your own practice, sitting on boards and other career moves that will alter the trajectory of not only your mentor's career, but the role women will play in the future of healthcare.
Benefits of Owning Your Own Practice
Benefits of Sitting on a Board
What additional benefits would you share with a mentor? How can you have a hand in shaping what role women play in leading the medical field foward in the future?
Healthcare Mentorship Resources for Women in Florida
Many leaders want to pass on their expertise to other women in the field, but finding the right way to get started can be challenging for both the mentor and the mentee.
The National Research Council found that female medical professionals
who provided mentorship were rewarded with a 25% increase
in the funding of grants, making it a beneficial practice for both parties.
Here are some resources that mentors can share with their pupils that are looking for funding, resources, and knowledge to grow within the Florida healthcare industry.
The Healthcare Business Women's Association – Florida Chapter: An organization providing a variety of resources to women in the local healthcare sector. This resource is a wealth of knowledge and tools for learning more about the industry, and is also incredibly valuable to those currently working in the industry. The Florida chapter specifically offers a mentorship program, seeking both leaders and those in need of guidance. Plus, you'll find upcoming events, educational resources, and research opportunities available.
Women's Health Care Executive Network of South Florida: A respected network within the field on both a national and local level providing educational programs and networking events to assist women in learning about healthcare management.
Arts in Healthcare: This is a great resource for students and active professionals in the health care industry. The organization seeks to build a networking within the medical industry through the use of the arts. The activities allow the public to gain further knowledge about various issues, but also help professionals and students connect on a personal level outside of their trade.
Public Health Scholarships: This database of public health scholarships offers information about educational scholarships available to students seeking public healthcare careers. There are a variety of scholarships available, and the database includes all of the pertinent information including requirements and deadlines. While many are open to a national audience, a select few are specifically for Floridians.
Florida Public Health Association: This local organization offers local news, hosts informative events for professionals, students, and the general public, and offers scholarship information for students interested in making a difference in the Florida health sector. This is also a great networking resource for females many of the leaders serving through the organization are women within the healthcare community.
Seacoast Small Business Lending: Seacoast loves to help women in business, including women in healthcare (human healthcare AND veterinary services!) finance their business goals and grow their practices and establishments. We're here to help make your dreams of becoming successful leaders in your industry come true.
Do you know of a great resource within the Florida healthcare industry that supports the future of female leaders? Share with us and other women in business during our twitter chat with Seacoast's own EVP, Small Business Banking Leader on Tuesday, April 26th at 12pm. Join the conversation by following #SeacoastBizWomen or @SeacoastBankCom on Twitter.

Free Breast Cancer Screenings for Low-Income, Uninsured, Underinsured Communities
May 17, 2018
In an effort to provide breast cancer screenings to communities who do not have easy access to health services, Susan G. Komen San Diego along with Northgate Gonzalez Markets hosted a free mammogram event on Friday, May 11.
The event was one of several free mammogram events that will be held this year with the next one scheduled for May 18 at the Northgate Gonzalez Markets in Barrio Logan and June 8 at Petco Park.
Komen San Diego partners with Northgate Gonzalez Markets, San Ysidro Health, Community Health Imaging Centers and Every Woman Counts, to host the free mammogram events.
"We think early detection is very important and the majority of the communities that we target don't have health insurance or their health insurance doesn't cover the mammogram," Karla Lopez, outreach and office coordinator with Komen San Diego, said.
Early in the morning, two days before Mother's Day, several women waited outside the Northgate Gonzalez Markets in Otay Mesa for their turn to enter the San Ysidro Health mobiles where each woman receives a clinical breast exam.
From there, women enter the mobile mammogram bus and receive the free mammogram.
Maria Sanchez, program manager for mobile health services outreach with San Ysidro Health, said that providing the mammograms at a location where women shop makes patients feel safe and is less intimidating than visiting a clinic.
"They see that this is a relaxed atmosphere and there's so many women here and everybody's happy and greeting, so I think that's what makes the women more likely to come and have their mammogram in an event such as this," Sanchez said.
To qualify for the free mammogram, individuals must be low-income, uninsured, or underinsured, 40 years of age or older and have not received a mammogram in a year or are currently experiencing breast cancer symptoms.
According to Lopez, the lack of time, transportation, and money are some reasons why community members dismiss preventative care, however, when it comes to breast cancer, early detection is crucial.
This is true for women like Chantal Breyfogle, a two time breast cancer survivor who has dedicated her time to raising awareness to preventive care with Komen San Diego.
Breyfogle was first diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 42 when an annual mammogram showed she had an aggressive form of cancer.
Breyfogle recalls that she did not have a tumor or any family history of breast cancer that would lead her to believe that she was at risk.
Seven years later, after undergoing chemotherapy and surgeries during her first diagnosis, Breyfogle discovered a lump in her breast during a self exam and was diagnosed with an advanced form of cancer.
However, once again early detection and effective treatment saved her life, she said.
"That's why I tell women, I understand life gets in the way, but in a lot of communities the women are the glue of the family," Breyfogle said. "They don't go because they take care of the kids, they work, they don't have transportation, but they need to give themselves the gift of the mammogram and self exam."

Doping, graft keep pressure on sports federations
BERLIN: Corruption and doping in sport has continued to present international federations with major challenges in a year, which has seen a change at the top of football governing body Fifa and promises of reforms elsewhere. As the countdown begins to the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, the pressure is growing on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to act on doping. The spotlight meanwhile remains on Russia, who host football's Confederations Cup in 2017 and is gearing up for the 2018 World Cup,following evidence of state-run doping and calls for an international sport ban.
With major events in 2017 including the world athletics championships, the focus will also be on the international athletics federation IAAF, which has to deal with corruption at the top and barred Russian track and field athletes from the 2016 Rio Olympics.
The report by Wada's independent investigator Richard McLaren, which said more than 1,000 Russian athletes were implicated in doping,poses the crucial question for the IOC of whether Russian athletes can still be allowed to compete on the international stage.
In the summer, the IOC led by president Thomas Bach decided against a blanket ban of Russian athletes from the Rio Games, preferring to delegate decisions over individuals to each international federation.
In contrast, the International Paralympic Committee banned Russia completely from its Rio Games, while the IAAF had already suspended the Russian athletics federation.
Bach insisted the IOC would apply a "zero tolerance policy not only with regard to individual athletes, but to all their entourage within its reach" in the doping fight.
An Olympic summit later proposed a global drug testing system independent from sports authorities, and Bach recommended all doping sanctions be handed down by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The sports world will be looking closely to see if strong words are followed up by deeds, but media commentators who follow Olympics affairs remain sceptical.
"The IOC's behaviour has been most notable for its vacillation and procrastination," Britain's Guardian wrote following this month's publication of the second part of the McLaren report into doping.
The doping fight, however, has seen more than 100 international doping offenders caught in IOC retests from the 2008 and 2012Olympics, with dozens stripped of their medals.
Russians, most notably tennis star Maria Sharapova, who is now serving a 15-month ban, have also been prominent in athletes who tested positive for meldonium, a drug which increases blood flow.
A number of other countries, including Kenya, are also being closely monitored to ensure their anti-doping standards measure up to international standards.
The doping scandals have added to the governance crises afflicting both Fifa and the IAAF, two of sport's biggest and most important international federations.
The IOC had in late 2014 set out principles for improving sports governance in its Agenda 2020 reform package.
The IAAF recently agreed its own broad reform package which became vitally necessary after corruption and doping scandals.
New statutes are intended to prevent fraud and the abuse of power,while increasing transparency and giving athletes more rights. A new"integrity unit board" will be responsible for the fight against doping.
The reforms come as French authorities continue a fraud and money laundering investigation into former IAAF president Lamine Diack of Senegal, who was allegedly involved in covering up positive doping samples. "Never again can one person wield unchecked power," IAAF's president Sebastian Coe said. "We now have structures, we now have frameworks and foundations that will create a safety net."
Fifa also heralded a "new era" following the corruption affairs which engulfed the federation and came to a head in 2015 with the arrests of leading football officials. — DPA

Despite a strikingly similar appearance, this man insists that he is not billionaire Alibaba founder Jack Ma, but a simple neighborhood guard from Chengdu named Ke Quanshou.
While it would be a little odd for Ma to join the neighborhood watch after just experiencing one of his best months ever — in which he made even more money than usual, played awkward games of chance with James Bond, got interviewed by Barack Obama, entered talks to buy SCMP and actually bought Youku Tudou — photos of the "security guard" have gone viral with many netizens believing that the resemblance is simply uncanny.
However, most have been persuaded that this man is simply too handsome to be Jack Ma.
Jack Ma has long been mocked about his looks, with some netizens comparing his face to Gollum, a Picasso painting and other, for the most part, conventionally unattractive characters. However, back in July, he showed that he could poke fun at himself as well, uploading a series of "Ma lookalikes" to his own Weibo account and giving them some self-deprecating captions.
In the end, there are worse ways to look.

I think it is great that people have offered to help, the only person that has offered is my oldest sister and she lives 2,000 miles away. She has visited me several times since I was diagnosed and realizes that my husband does a great job of helping me with anything I need. Basically we are on our own. Potter
I can't really tell any difference with my MS than before other than during a relapse. I have numbness in my feet sometimes and then in my hands.. My hand got to the point it was hard to even write but it cleared up. Still have some slight tingling in my finger tips but the doctor says that'll probably never clear up. I read all the time about problems walking, seeing (blurred vision), tiring quickly, etc., but I haven't experienced any of that. At first i wasn't convince I had MS so I flew to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio for a second opinion and they too say I have MS. Perhaps I have a mild case (if there is such a thing) but so far my life or life style hasn't changed.
Now one thing I do not like is being recognized at all…I don't want to be treated any differently because I have MS. Really didn't even want my friends and family to know but my wife took care of that for me. I started getting emails and calls from family asking what they could do to help. Well there is nothing anyone can do since there is no cure….my answer was, "Just pretend you never heard about it"
