Senator Mellow remains out of Touch
Posted by By Eric Zager at 14 October, at 15 : 52 PM Print
Pennsylvania's longest serving senator (pictured to the right) is seemingly as mellow as can be about an ethics investigation in to his questionable relationship with Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania, which is a paid seat on the board of the insurance company. Not to mention his affiliation with Penseco Financial services, or the money he pocketed from renting out space for his district office; in a building Mellow, and, or his former wife owned a stake.
Mellow, of course, is embattled Senator Robert Mellow. RocktheCapital has tried every (business) day for the past ten days to reach him. He does not return calls and up until Thursday RTC had no success in reaching Mellow's Chief of Staff, Lisa Scullin. Scullin said she would relay RTC's request for an interview to the senator.
The Senate Ethic's Committee voted two weeks ago to "stay" its investigation, which in Eric Epstein's view the committee will "run out the clock," and not act on the case. Mellow, a Democrat from Peckville was first elected to office in1971. He announced earlier this year he had no intention of seeking another term when it ends in November.
Epstein, a founder of RocktheCapital.com, brought the ethics complaint before the committee. "How much is enough? Mr. Mellow received a salary, COLA, perks, pension, health care and an automobile from the taxpayers, sat on two paying Boards, and wrote checks to himself with other peoples' money."
"Unless the Senate is coordinating an investigation with the FBI and IRS, the complaint is DOA," said Epstein.
Over the summer, agents from the FBI and IRS were observed carrying documents from Senator Mellow's home and district office.
Melllow is not facing any criminal charges.
RTC has also tried multiple times to reach Republican Senator, Charles McIlhinney without success. McIlhinney is the Chairman of the Ethics Committee.
So, while the committee is putting off its investigation — we here at RTC will keep trying to uncover the reasons behind its decision, or lack of one.

Guest blogger, Jonny Patrick, writes…
My favourite moment in Shakespeare is the scene in King Lear where the blind Gloucester is led by his son Edgar to the cliffs of Dover, where he intends to commit suicide. Gloucester does not know that his guide is Edgar, who has taken on the disguise of the madman Poor Tom.
Gloucester has lost his sight; we have ours. However, what we are about to see will make us question its reliability, morality, even its desirability. We watch as Edgar leads his father forward, telling him that he is now "within a foot / Of th'extreme verge" (IV, vi). He gives a dizzying verbal picture of the view from the precipice. Gloucester tells him to leave and Edgar does so. What, we ask ourselves, is Edgar playing at? Will he really let his father jump? Is this some kind of revenge for Gloucester's earlier injustices towards him? In an aside, Edgar addresses the question, but tells us merely "Why I do trifle thus with his despair / Is done to cure it". In this play about eyes, where should we look: at the man about to leap or at his son, who must surely stop this from happening?
Then Gloucester jumps. He falls, and is prostrate onstage. So he's dead? Have we really just watched a man leap to his death? Edgar himself is unsure and runs up to Gloucester. Assuming a new accent and persona, he shouts to Gloucester, who wakes up. Once again, Shakespeare pitches us into confusion. Have we just watched a man jump from a cliff and survive? Or have we just seen him die then rise from the dead? Gloucester himself is unsure: "But have I fallen or no?" Ultimately, we can work out that this is an elaborate ruse by Edgar, designed to trick his father out of his suicidal despair by convincing him that he has been miraculously preserved. Gloucester's leap landed him on the ground before him; Edgar never took him to the edge. But Edgar/Shakespeare is toying with us too: was that really what we saw?
I can think of nothing more purely theatrical than this scene. On the radio or on film, it just can't work in the same way. It has to be done on a bare stage; make the staging realistic and you give away that Gloucester hasn't jumped at all. It's a soul-saving experience for Gloucester and a theatrical miracle.

- "Now and always."
- ―Alys renews House Karstark's pledge of fealty to House Stark
Lady Alys Karstark was the daughter of Lord Harald Karstark and the new head of House Karstark after the death of her father at the Battle of the Bastards, who fought for House Bolton. She pledged her house to House Stark once again when called upon by King Jon Snow. She died protecting Bran Stark during the Battle of Winterfell.
Alys Karstark is the daughter of Harald Karstark and granddaughter of Rickard Karstark.[2] As House Karstark is a younger cadet branch of House Stark, Alys Karstark is a distant cousin of the main Stark family.
During the course of the War of the Five Kings, Lord Rickard's other two sons Torrhen and Harrion Karstark were killed. Jaime Lannister personally killed Torrhen, leaving Rickard outraged when Catelyn Stark freed him for a prisoner exchange. Denied his vengeance as a father, Lord Rickard and his men killed two minor Lannister cousins who the Starks had also taken prisoner. King Robb Stark was disgusted that Lord Rickard would kill two unarmed and captive boys, and without his permission. Declaring it to be murder and treason, Robb sentenced Lord Rickard to death and (as per Northern custom) personally executed Lord Rickard by beheading him with his own sword. This caused the Karstark contingent in the Northern army to abandon the war and return home.[3] House Bolton later betrayed the Starks at the Red Wedding, slaughtering their army and killing King Robb.[4]
As his father's last surviving son, Harald Karstark became the new head of the House. When Ned Stark's bastard son Jon Snow and Sansa Stark tried to rally the North against the Boltons, Harald was still embittered by Robb's execution of his father, so he sided against the Starks.[5] Harald joined the Karstark army with Ramsay Bolton's main force and engaged the smaller Stark loyalist army at the Battle of the Bastards. At the last minute, a massive new army from The Vale of Arryn arrived: the Bolton forces were pinned between them and the remaining Stark army and were totally destroyed.[6]
Lord Harald died at some point in the battle, leaving his daughter Alys Karstark as the new heir to House Karstark.[7]
Season 7
Alys is present at a council of Northern and Vale lords in Winterfell's main hall presided over by the King in the North, Jon Snow. The council discussing how to deal with the coming threat of the White Walkers, and how to deal with the fallout of the defeat of the Boltons. Sansa Stark, Snow's half-sister and advisor, suggests giving Karhold to one of the Northern lords who had been a proven ally of the Starks, but Jon dismisses this idea, as Alys wasn't to blame for Harald Karstark's actions. The argument of what to do with the surviving Karstark and Umber children goes back and forth.
Ultimately, Jon calls Alys and Ned Umber forward. They are visibly afraid that Jon will announce that he will execute them. Instead, Jon holds to his original position that he will not hold them responsible for the crimes of their fathers, and orders them to swear fealty to the Starks once again. Relieved, without hesitation Alys and Ned ceremonially kneel, draw their swords, and swear to serve Jon and the Starks. This allows Alys to retain her inheritance as the new Lady of Karhold.[7]
Alys is also present when Jon announces his plans to leave for Dragonstone, to make an alliance with Daenerys Targaryen in order to defeat the Night King, and leave Sansa in control of the North.[8]
Season 8Alys arrives at Winterfell, not long after Jon Snow returns with Daenerys Targaryen and the Targaryen army, with the Karstark forces from Karhold. Lord Yohn Royce meets her and escorts her in Winterfell.[9]
Alys is present for the trial of Jaime Lannister, sitting alongside the other Northern lords. She is also present for the war council in preparation for the upcoming battle with the army of the dead.[10]
During the Battle of Winterfell, Alys and a group of Karstark archers join Theon Greyjoy and the ironborn in defending Bran Stark. She is killed when the wights overrun the godswood, and her death renders House Karstark extinct.[11]

Lady Karstark
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Alys Karstark is the only daughter of Lord Rickard Karstark, Lord of Karhold, and appears much earlier in the narrative than in the TV series, before the battle of Winterfell (which has not even begun yet in the books) and while Jon Snow is in the Night's Watch. She is described as tall and skinny, with brown hair and a long face (somewhat similar to Arya). As the Karstarks are a cadet branch of House Stark (that split off a thousand years ago) she is also a distant kinsman of the main Stark line - so her resemblance to Arya isn't coincidental. She is the sister of Torrhen Karstark, Harrion Karstark, and Eddard Karstark (renamed "Harald" in the television series). In the books, Alys is actually two years older than Sansa Stark, and around one year younger than Robb Stark and Jon Snow.
Alys is a headstrong girl who knew Robb Stark and Jon Snow during childhood. Her father hoped to have her betrothed to Robb to strengthen ties with the Starks, though nothing came of it. She danced with both of them at feasts, finding Robb courteous but Jon somewhat sullen. Jon vaguely remembers that, since Alys was six years old at the time (and Jon was around seven or eight years old).
She was later betrothed to Daryn Hornwood, heir of House Hornwood, until he was killed by Jaime Lannister in the Battle of the Whispering Wood; two of Alys's brothers, Eddard and Torrhen, were killed in the same battle, also by Jaime. After Jaime was released by Catelyn Stark, Lord Rickard promised Alys's hand to whoever brought the Kingslayer to him, in order to avenge the deaths of his sons.
Alys's surviving brother Harrion was taken captive at the battle of Duskendale. He was imprisoned in Maidenpool, but it has been almost a year since his surviving kin received news about it, and it is uncertain if he is still alive.
Following Rickard's death, his treacherous uncle Arnolf, who secretly collaborates with the Boltons, schemes to take over Karhold: he announces in public that he supports Stannis (intending to stab him in the back while fighting the Boltons), hoping that the Lannisters will execute Harrion as a punishment, then Alys will become the heiress of Karhold. Arnolf plans to force Alys to marry his son Cregan (though he is her first cousin once removed, this is not considered incest in Westeros). They also plan to dispose of her as soon as she gives birth to a son by Cregan, who has already buried two wives.
Alys finds out about Arnolf's twofold treachery and escapes to Castle Black; she wisely stays away from the Kingsroad and villages, riding along the bed of little streams, to throw hunters off her trail. Upon her arrival, she informs Jon what her great-uncle is up to. She has no idea what became of her brother Harrion as a result of Arnolf's fake announcement.
Alys resents Robb Stark for killing her father. Though she knows for what crime her father was executed, it does not make a difference for her, but since Jon belongs to the Night's Watch, there is no blood feud between them, and she asks his help to save both her and Stannis from Arnolf. Jon quickly sends Tycho Nestoris to find Stannis and warns him of the traitor in his host, and he does. Arnolf, his son Arthor and grandsons are arrested, and Stannis intends to execute them: if they admit their guilt - they will be given the same swift death Robb gave Rickard; if not - they will be burned alive.
The battle of Winterfell has not come yet to a conclusion by the point the novels reached (it has not even begun), but thanks to Alys the Boltons have been denied of one of the advantages they had over Stannis.
Meanwhile, to keep the Boltons and Arnolf from forcing Alys into a marriage to seize her birthright, Jon quickly arranges for Alys to marry Sigorn, the son of Styr and the new Magnar of the Thenns who has become one of his allies, to found House Thenn. Alys complies voluntarily, and when Cregan arrives to reclaim Alys, Jon has him arrested and placed in an ice cell.
Some time before Alys arrives at Castle Black, Melisandre sees her in a flame vision. Thinking incorrectly that the "girl in grey on a dying horse" is Arya Stark, she tells that to Jon. Unfortunately, Melisandre's mistake makes Jon ignore her warning about "daggers in the dark", which turns out to be correct.

Naan Ponce is an EWI Entrepreneur Training for Success alumna and Owner & Founder of STELLALTINAAN, a fashion boutique that specializes in eye-catching accessories and clothing items that combine colour, texture and comfort. Naan uses her passion and experience in fashion design to produce couture inspired clothing without the designer price tag.
Her items are indeed conversation pieces attracting compliments wherever she goes. This is exactly what inspired Naan to start her own business. Her late husband's career required lots of travel to different countries which left Naan without a lot of money to spend on clothes especially when just settling into a new place before finding work of her own. Her solution was to wear the clothing and accessories that she made which were so beautiful that lots of people took notice of.
Naan admits that her lack of knowledge in marketing and understanding of her worth hurt her in the beginning. "I knew absolutely nothing about marketing, budgeting or pricing," Naan said. "So I lost more than I made and often times simply gave things away with the hope of some exposure." But the exposure she had hoped for never happen because she was "giving away" valuable items too often which stalled her growth.
Naan's advice to anyone who has an idea or are in the startup phase of business is to, "Believe in yourself and the quality of your work, but most importantly, find a training program like EWI as soon as you can to channel your ideas into a marketable and successful venture."
Naan enthusiastically proclaims how much of an impact her experience with EWI has had on STELLALTINAAN. "EWI has helped me claim back the value of my efforts and helped me to really see the quality and value of my work for what it really is." Naan explained. "And better still, I learned about marketing, budgeting and pricing which is priceless!" Naan knows for sure that she is able to move forward with more confidence in her work and life due to the support and training she received through EWI.
After struggling for the past seven years to be accepted as a respectable designer, Naan is now sought after and has made huge changes in her business by applying what she learned through EWI training.
Within the next five years, Naan expects to expand her fashion line, STELLAALTINAAN so that it will become highly recognizable. "I intend to build my business to a place where people will know and respond to my brand." She adds, "I can't emphasize enough what a difference EWI has made to me and my business."
Her previous mistakes cost her money and time so she encourages others to act sooner than later to get assistance. "It's obvious that seven years of doing it my own way, with little to no guidance did me no good at all" Naan said. Her only regret is that she didn't reach out sooner but now she's ready and prepared to accept all of the wonderful opportunities that are sure to come her way.

A man that was wrongfully imprisoned on an aggravated sexual assault charge for 26 years, is now seeking full compensation for the time that he spent in prison.
The 59-year-old man recently filed papers in the Texas Supreme Court that state that the Texas Comptroller failed to give him the correct amount of compensation that is required by state law.
The Tim Cole Act states that exonerees are to be provided with $80,000 for each year that they were incarcerated. The man served 26 years in jail for aggravated sexual assault until 2008 when a DNA test was done that excluded the man as a suspect.
The man's lawsuit states that the comptroller did not pay him for eight years of his sentence. He is one of 22 people that have been exonerated since 2001 in Dallas County when the DNA testing started.
If you or a loved one has been charged with a serious crime such as sexual assault, you need experienced representation on your side. Contact the Dallas aggravated sexual assault defense lawyers of the Law Office of Mark T. Lassiter by calling (214) 845-7007.

The brand is one of more than 20 that have stopped advertising during the Fox News host's show because of his offensive rhetoric.
Fox News and host Tucker Carlson are losing more advertisers.
Long John Silver's will no longer advertise on Fox News, as confirmed to Media Matters' Angelo Carusone.
Nestlé and HelloFresh, which have advertised on Carlson's show in the past, told The Hollywood Reporter they were no longer running ads on the show. Nestlé said it had no plans to do so in the future.
Earlier this week, Carlson claimed on his show "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that there is no white supremacy problem in the United States and that it's a "hoax" proliferated by the media.
"The whole thing is a lie," said Carlson. "It's actually not a real problem in America."
The conservative commentator's remarks came after two mass shootings in 24 hours last weekend. The gunman who killed at least 22 in El Paso, Texas, reportedly posted a white supremacist manifesto online shortly before the shootinhttps://www.theopinionpoll.comg. In light of that and Carlson's history of repeatedly giving airtime to white nationalist conspiracy theories and talking points, #FireTuckerCarlson began trending on Twitter on Wednesday.
In an apparent coincidence, Carlson announced that he would be taking some time off from his broadcast that same night. He also told his critics to "calm down."
Fox News has stayed silent on the controversy. CNN's Oliver Darcy reported on Wednesday night that none of the channel's board members ― including Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, Jacques Nasser, Anne Dias, Roland Hernandez and Paul Ryan ― agreed to comment on Carlson's rhetoric.
HuffPost has reached out to Fox News directly, and has also asked Carlson's remaining advertisers to comment on their partnerships with his show.
In December 2018, Carlson lost more than 20 advertisers after suggesting that immigrants are making the United States "dirtier." He never issued an apology and later doubled down on the racist sentiment.
Carlson lost even more advertisers in March after Media Matters released audio revealing white nationalist rhetoric he used duringvarious appearances on shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge's show between 2006 and 2011.

Now pump your legs in rhythm with your breath as you climb. It's alright, you can curse the headwind that won't quit as you near that golden bridge. Weave on through the piles of tourists in various stages of vacation emotions. You're almost there, almost there, almost there, now stop; take in the amazing beauty that surrounds you. My darling San Francisco, some days you are a delicious kiss that tingles my lips for hours after parting. You have my heart; you are my home.

Dems, terror, immigration--posted by Tony Garcia on 8/16/2006
The Democrats have fallen into the political correctness trap again.
A Democratic political ad is under fire from Hispanics who say it unfairly compares Latino immigrants to terrorists.Let us see...if offensive it must be pulled. This is not how it should be. (It is the way things are in the state of current events, but it is antithetical to what is healthy in a free society.) Sorry, Mr. Celis, if you do not like it then the ad should not be pulled, but you go after the premise of the ad. You counter the idea or the position in the ad and of the organization.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee sponsored a 35-second ad on its Web site that shows footage of two people scaling a border fence mixed with images of Osama Bin Laden and North Korea President Kim Jong Il.
Pedro Celis, chairman of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly, said in a statement Tuesday that the DSCC should remove the ad because it vilifies illegal Hispanic immigrants and is "appalling."
But you don't call for censorship.
It is a little disturbing to see the Republican National Hispanic Assembly (presumably somehow loosely tied to the Republicans) engaging in the tactics that Republicans previously decried. That is a sign of weakness...a sign that in a lack of confidence in the position being provided or an admission that an intelligent retort is not possible. In this case it is hard to figure out which the RNHA is feeling.
The position of opposing the portrayal of poor illegal immigration policies as a threat to national security is a not so weak that is warrants a lack of confidence. (For the record, I think that the RNHA is wrong since illegal immigration IS a threat to national safety in more ways than just terrorism. But I do believe the RNHA's position is a defensible one, rhetorically speaking.)
The other weakness indicated by calling for censorship is the position of admitting they have no intelligent retort to the images in the ad. Like I mentioned in the previous paragraph there is a defensible position the RNHA could have taken against their interpretation of the ad.
Now, understand what the ad is doing to understand what you can actually learn from this story. (And what you can learn from this story will be different than either party and their automatons will let you hear.) It is making an argument against Bush (I did not realize he was running) in two parts. First they imply the premise: National Safety are endangered by bin Laden, Iran's Abheimdgihjejgineati, North Korea's Crazy Cockroach (homage to Team America), illegal immigration, and so on. This also logically implies a premise that policies about these things have an impact on our safety...seems obvious and redundent, but they can be different.
Frankly, I agree with this premise. I wanted to point out that premise from the Democrat ad because it means that they are either accepting that premise or acknowledging the public accepts that premise. Either of those is a positive!
Next is the conclusion...that in order to change your (assumed) feeling of being Unsafe you must vote for them (Democrats). Understand that to get from the premise to the conclusion one must connect the dots in between. Failure to do so risks people connecting the dots differently and arriving at different conclusions. The more dots you leave to the audience to connect the greater the chance for your conclusion to seem off-base.
This ad has three dots (assumptions) they want the audience to connect. First that Bush's policies (and by extension those of the GOP) are making you feel unsafe. Second, any change in power will make you feel safe. Third, that the Democrats will make you feel safe just for being change.
I disagree with the assumption that any change will necessarily have improvement.
Far too often in the world of politics the response to things tends to be devoid of understanding what is being responded to. In the case of this ad the RNHA did not understand well enough what they were responding to. Had they understood the ad and what was being provided through the ad they could have formulated a much better, stronger response than, "Censor, censor, wah, wah...race card."
Their response was woefully missing the true mark of the ad...and the real ground that could have been gained was missed. Instead they followed the tact of the dumbest people within the politics...attack with irrevlevance, miss the point and thus unable to sound intelligent on the response. Instead of appealing to the mind they tried to appeal to the mindless by simply crying, "Race."
Certainly it COULD be found as objectionable by Hispanics to have images of illegal immigrants mixed in with terrorists. But to find that objectionable one has to reject (1) that border security actually is a part of national security and (2) that illegal immigration should be ended. I do not reject either of those...and it is shameful that the RNHA has rejected those ideas.

I work in branding. My mother was a therapist. Both professions share a common focus: defining a way of being.
For Mum, that meant guiding clients through a "person-centered approach" (PCA). PCA departed from the medical/Freudian analysis and instead adopted an instinctive, intuitive methodology – counseling with empathy. The premise = only YOU can know what's right for YOU. Her role: trusted partner to discovering that truth.
As a strategist, I too probe deeply – using observation, critical thinking and empathy – to reveal the values that lie at a brand's core. Many times the process seems akin to therapy: referencing hierarchy of needs, challenging assumptions and exploring human emotions.
Years after retiring, Mum wrote a paper for a global PCA summit – "A Way of Being In The World: A Personal Journey". In the 60's, person-centered therapy was a new discipline that challenged the status quo of psychoanalysis. Her writing stayed with me – it spoke not only to my professional approach, but also to the wider context of life.
"30 years ago I attended a workshop and saw the film of Carl Rogers and Gloria. It was one of those moments of recognition that had an almost physical effect and was certainly a major turning point in my life. For 10 years I had been working as a psychiatric social worker within the Freudian analysis and medical model of the person. My own feelings of inadequacy within the helping situation were compounded by my inability to see people within the context of the above formulas. Instinctively I was seeing them as individuals with individual responses to the varied and painful experiences of their life situations." Anne Newell
Mum, in her wisdom, saw PCA as a gateway to "being" in the world, beyond the framework of therapy.
"It soon became apparent that this was not just a way of working. Being authentic was not just something one was with one's clients, nor were empathy and acceptance limited to a working relationship. These were all part of a way of being that affected all relationships and every aspect of my life."
In much the same way, empowerment or "conscious" marketing is changing the way we think and feel about brands and advertising. No longer is it enough to tout features and function, consumers instead connect through shared values. Currency = human emotion. Language = authenticity.
Perhaps Mum's most challenging life-experience was as a single-parent to twin strong-willed girls. PCA provided a framework of values from which we could all survive. I've included a long except because she beautifully captured what it meant to apply PCA to parenting:
"Never have I been so acutely aware of my potential to violence as I have been as a parent of young children and adolescents, nor have I experienced so consistently the ability to love selflessly. Family life in no way resembled an idealized picture of the PCA in action, sometimes it more resembled a battlefield.
I saw my role as a parent as an enabling one, whose ultimate goal was to raise my children to become fully functioning adults, with a respect for self and others, able to make choices and take responsibility for their actions.
I held them, listened, spent time with them, had fun with them and most importantly created a safe space where they could express their feelings openly and where they met the same freedom of expression in others. Attempts to teach them anything fell flat – they learnt at their own pace what they wanted to learn. Later, hearing them in conversation with troubled friends I was impressed at how they listened and responded in a way that was familiarly person centered. Where had they learnt it?
I think that it is in the overall attitudes and way of being that counts here. I could not be anything but real with them, they saw me in my ups and downs, in pain and coming out the other side of it. They were supported in their own difficulties and learnt the value of being alongside. There was an intrinsic respect for each individual's needs, the recognition and support to make their own decisions and accepting responsibility for self. At the same time there was an expectation that they respect me and my needs too. I did not have all the answers."
Part of this blog recognizes the interrelatedness of work and life–they shape each other. Mum has given me a deeper appreciation for how living authentically, and parenting authentically, is truly the only "way of being in the world".

Dr. Jones: [00:00:00] We're coming to you today from Hazard Kentucky in Perry County Kentucky and I'm joined today by Dr. Fran Feltner. Fran thank you so much for joining us today.
Dr. Feltner: [00:00:10] You're welcome. I'm honored to be here.
Dr. Jones: [00:00:12] Thank you for taking the time. I know you are a busy lady and I appreciate you carving out some time. I told you before you are the inaugural nurse on our podcast we've had social workers up to this point and so we're branching out. And so really excited about talking about your nursing career and just kind of your vision for this place here.
Dr. Feltner: [00:00:34] Well thank you for the opportunity today.
Dr. Jones: [00:00:36] I wonder if we could start out talking a little bit. You're born and raised here in eastern Kentucky.
Dr. Feltner: [00:00:42] Yes I'm originally from Leslie County where my parents grew up and then and at a young age we moved to Perry County and I've lived here most of my life. My father was a Baptist minister so we did move around. But Perry County is my home.
Dr. Jones: [00:00:59] And you know you have kind of come to this place of the Center for Excellence affiliated with the University of Kentucky. You're you're a nurse by training. What drew you to nursing?
Dr. Feltner: [00:01:12] Basically I was around people in health care most of my life. My father and my mother and I was around many different doctors and nurses that really gave me the idea that caring for people was really what was worth it in life. And I had lots of nurses that take care of me at a young age that set good examples for me that I wanted to maybe model myself after because they really cared about the patients that they took care. And so I knew at a very young age actually age 8 that one day I would be a nurse and that I would find out how I could reach that dream and that I have lived that dream throughout my career.
Dr. Jones: [00:01:58] That's great. So what brought you to this center for excellence or give us a little bit of history about this place here?
Dr. Feltner: [00:02:04] OK. The Center of Excellence in Rural Health (CERH) was put here actually in 1991 and the first program was our family practice residency program and then we had medical laboratory science and we had college of nursing students here. They were preparing for their master's degrees because vocational schools were starting to offer the RN program and they needed faculty to teach. And so a little bit later the College of Social Work joined us with the social work program. We have the bachelor's degree and the master's degree medical laboratory science is now offered through the college of health science and also doctorate in physical therapy classes are here at the center of excellence in Rural Health. Along those programs and along that line the same time legislative mandates put us here as a center of excellence in Rural Health. Every state got an office approach health through federal funding. We were also legislatively mandated as a State Office of Rural Health along not 94 Kentucky Homeplace was a program that was developed by the Center. This is a community health worker driven program that has been nationally recognized as a model that works that serves many people throughout the year. Right now there is about a hundred and fifty thousand people that have received services that they would have gone without without our community health workers working in the community where they build trust and where they build confidence in the people that work with them to get the need get the services that they need. Also this is I want to say you get your degrees close to home. A lot of our mountain students cannot travel to the universities and they may finish their associate's degree at the community college level. So one of the things that the concepts that was thought out when we were first put here is let them get their associate degree at a community college. Then we would have classes for them here at the Center of excellence and Rural Health that they could finish their baccalaureate degree or their masters degree close to home. And so we've had many students that have come from different walks of life and maybe coal mining industry shuts down and students want to go back to school to finish a different degree. And we've had those students here at the CERH that can change their lives and serve people. We've had colleges social work graduates that now work for the Center of Excellence in Rural Health. And so that's a success story in itself. Many of our family practice residents that have graduated their family practice residency they'll work as faculty here at the CERH. So I think that that is a success in the making when we can graduate our students and then we can have them here at home providing services for the people and the idea that if you train Family Practice residents in a rural area that they'll stay in a rural area to practice and we could fulfill the workforce needs in the rural area to take care of access to care for the people here in the mountains. It's hard to navigate in our terrain sometimes to get to Lexington, Louisville and the big city as we call it for our healthcare. So the number one idea was to develop family practice residency so that we could keep our doctors here at home.
Dr. Jones: [00:05:32] And is that happening are the doctors staying here in this region?
Dr. Feltner: [00:05:36] Absolutely we've been very lucky to recruit the physicians here. They finished their medical degrees with the universe Kentucky. Then they come here for three years of residency and about 60 to 80 percent of them according to which year of graduates they do stay in the rural areas of Kentucky to practice if not other rural states. And so I feel like that that mission has really been successful and the fact that now when we recruit it's local people that live here in the mountains that are coming back to their family practice residency and they stay here.
Dr. Jones: [00:06:14] Can you talk a little bit. I have a wife who is from Letcher County and I went to Berea college as an undergraduate and I just love this part of Kentucky and think it's so special. I wonder if you could talk about the special challenges health challenges of eastern Kentucky and maybe of Appalachia in general.
Dr. Feltner: [00:06:35] When you think about the health and Appalachia and you think about the mountains that we call home here a lot of things are on the front page of the newspaper or on the radio each day about the high rates of disease that we have. Chronic disease such as heart disease hypertension diabetes cancer lung cancer. Particularly in this area we have had challenges as far as obesity the risk factors that we have each day. Higher rates of smoking things that we really can do something about as far as getting physically active and eating healthy. Other things that you can't do anything about. As far as heredity and those things but just about everywhere you look in a publication we're the highest of everything if you pull out a map of Kentucky and you look at the counties of Appalachia they're always red on that map showing the high rates of disease that we have here.
Dr. Jones: [00:07:37] I know that you're very interested in translational research and that is research that can be implemented and helpful in addressing some of these health issues that you're talking about. Can you talk a little bit about that that concept of translational research and maybe some of the things that you're doing here at the center that is that are going to help these health crises?
Dr. Feltner: [00:08:03] I truly do believe in research but not just to write a paper or to get your degree. The research is that you do with the community that I really think is necessary to find out where the solutions are what the trends are and to hear from the community about what they think their problems are. And for you to work with them to find solutions and you can't do that unless you bring the research back to the community your results your findings. I wanted to develop a way that we could get back to the community. One of those ways is our Appalachian research day and I named it come sit on the porch. And the reason I did that is because in Appalachia a lot of us have porches we still sit on our ports swings or we sit in a rocking chair on our front porch. And as my grandfather taught me that's where conversation happens. You do a lot of not complaining but identifying problems and looking at solutions that together you can solve. And so each year I invite researchers that work in Appalachia to bring back their results. Talk to the community that they took the results from. Share that with them and look at what solutions that we can come up with in our community. So I think the buy into the community is so important to me and looking at the people that we serve how can we best serve them or how does the research show what we need to do to improve the health of can take.
Dr. Jones: [00:09:36] I think that's so important and correct me if I'm wrong here but it seems like that so much of the research that's been done here has has been people and just other things that have been done here but have been people coming here and doing their research leaving and it not coming back full circle or not being it. It feels like the well here have been used in some way.
Dr. Feltner: [00:10:03] You've got that exactly right. And more than a few years ago I would be asked to say how can you get the community to participate in research. You know I'm from Appalachia and I believe if you come here to do research you have to have someone open that door for you to Appalachia you don't just walk in and say I'm from the University of wherever and I want to do research in your community and expect people to participate. They don't know you. They don't trust you. You have to build that trust before you can do the research. And so what was happening is this they would come to their research and Appalachian people have been researched to death. I once reviewed a grant that said give us the money so we can live – give us the research results. Show us how we can better our lives in eastern Kentucky or in Appalachia.
Musical Interlude: [00:10:55] [acoustic guitar plays].
Dr. Feltner: [00:11:10] And so I think that because we've started Appalachian research day we have gained the trust of the community that they'll step up to participate in research like never before.
Dr. Jones: [00:11:21] It's great. That's a very powerful concept that you came up with and I love the front porch conversation idea as well. I want to switch our focus a little bit to social work. Since this podcast is called social work conversations I'd like for you to talk about how you see social work and social workers helping here and in eastern Kentucky. What is their role. What is their future here in terms of better health outcomes. What do you think about social workers?
Dr. Feltner: [00:11:55] Well first of all I would like to say that you know we celebrated 20 years of social work here at the CERH this past year a very proud moment that we have so many graduates that are working in eastern Kentucky and throughout the state that are providing the needed services for families. And it is so important for us to have social workers and now more than ever. There is so much emphasis being put on behavioral health and the social needs the social determinants of health that as we look at a person as a whole it takes an interprofessional team to pull together nurses social workers doctors dentist psychiatrists psychologists all of those things to pull together a holistic look at the people that we serve. Social work plays a huge part of that. You know if your family is struggling with unemployment for an example or they're struggling with opioid use and misuse. Where are the children and all of that? You know and so many of our children are not even living with parents now because of the problems that we have. We really need as many social workers as we can graduate to help these families. I can also think of the higher rates of diabetes that we have and heart disease that we have. And we actually have a program here at the Center of Excellence in Rural Health in our North Fork valley clinic that pulls a diabetic team together and a social worker is on that team. We also have a clinical social worker that works with our population here in the clinic. More and more we need them on the medical side as well as the family side and looking at the people as a whole and how we can improve the health of our families.
Dr. Jones: [00:13:44] I want to ask you a question about this place in this home that you have – we have listeners really all over the world that are listening to this and some may have never been to eastern Kentucky to Appalachia. What do you hope that people know about your home here. What do you want them to know?
Dr. Feltner: [00:14:07] Well first of all I'm very proud to say that these mountains are my home and I'm very proud to be from here. A lot of people want to stereotype people from Appalachia and I want to uplift Appalachian people. We're very strong. We're very community minded very patriotic. We take care of our neighbors and friends. We listen to our neighbors and friends and sometimes when I leave and I fly to D.C. for an example and I come back home and I land in Lexington and I walk to my car and I start home and just outside of Lexington when I turn on Winchester road and I come out on the parkway I can see the mountains and I know I'm home. And so I may travel all over the world. But this is my favorite place to be. And right now is a really good time since we talking springtime and things are starting to burn and bloom and soon things will be white and they'll be lavender all over these mountains. And my grandparents I ask them a question one time about why do we call these redwood trees when they actually Bloom lavender and purple. And so you'll see those along the highway and along the mountains that really brighten up the day to see that. The people here are beautiful. I mean there's there's so many problems but there's so many good things too about our our home.
Dr. Feltner: [00:15:38] I was once asked why don't you just move you know you have such high rates of disease. I would be a mountain girl no matter where you put me. And this is my place that I call home. And I want to see things happen in a better way for our population. I think that's one of the passions that I have about working here at the Center of Excellence in Rural Health. We truly do have a team of (I call them) excellence in action that really care about the people that we work with that we serve and that we provide this is for and I think it takes heart. It takes mind and takes mission and it takes passion to improve the health of our state.
Dr. Jones: [00:16:19] You know one thing that has really moved me in teaching down here is that so many of my students have shared with me that they may they may be the first ones or family to go to college or they come from a background of domestic violence you know drug abuse whatever and it just strikes me that that that resilient piece of them found their way here to the center to complete their college degree. I mean to me that's very very powerful.
Dr. Feltner: [00:16:53] Absolutely. And also it builds up their confidence and gives them an opportunity to come away from that and to be successful. And so that's that's one of the biggest success stories that we have here at the center is seeing someone improve their lives and take care of their families. You know we all strive to be able to work and to live in the mountains here and take care of our families and leave something better behind. And so that really gives an opportunity for students close to home.
Musical Interlude: [00:17:22] [acoustic guitar music].
Dr. Jones: [00:17:32] So this kind of leads me into my – well I have two final questions for you. One is we tend to ask people on this podcast about their self care what do they do. You are in a stressful role. You have a lot of worries about grants and just different things so how do you take care of yourself. What do you do for self care?
Dr. Feltner: [00:17:55] That is a hard one because it is very stressful. We deal with many different situations on a daily basis. You know I work with every college at UK to try to bring people together and to develop solutions for our population here in the mountains and across the state our rual areas are you know they have healthcare shortages as far as providers and many different things when you look at the Delta region of the state you look at the Appalachian region of the state. So sometimes it can be very stressful. And I know in my heart that I can't change everything. I mean we know that but if we can make the difference in a day in just one person's life then we've done our job. To de-stress I love to walk left to hike in the mountains I call home. I have a wonderful family that 10 grandkids that I hear from on a daily basis and a wonderful husband and just wonderful family you know that know that the work that I do is stressful and they pitch in wherever needed and help me through that.
Dr. Feltner: [00:19:06] Also your work family I mean we're pretty close knit and we know when each other are struggling and we step up to help each other and I think that the team effort and getting the job done is absolutely part of being successful.
Dr. Jones: [00:19:25] You ever come across any copperheads while you're out hiking?
Dr. Feltner: [00:19:27] Absolutely (ha ha ha). Actually the house that we live in now it's a subdivision and when they were developing the subdivision I was told that there was 88 copperheads there to start if as they were building and we say want occasionally you know but we also see elk and deer in the rabbits and the squirrels and every bird that you know noted mansion and since I live the farm so so much like Sandy going home I saw 12 years they were of different ages you know living in a family and of course I like look at this neat little family here that that is driving together in mountains. And so that's de-stressors. You look at the creation and how beautifully is the sunsets and the sunrises over the mountains.
Dr. Jones: [00:20:18] So what are you – What do you dream about here if you look down the road 10 15 20 years for the centre and for your work. What do you dream about?
Dr. Feltner: [00:20:28] If you could improve the health of our children and they are the the future and working with our youth with the many different things that they're faced with today. When when you see a population in Appalachian that is the highest rates of every chronic disease how can we start with our children and teach them to live healthier lives and then as they have children those children will have healthier lives. The education is so important that it's for your success you know do a job that is your dream. You know if you want to be a nurse, be a nurse. If you want to be a wonderful social worker be it to the best of your ability to help the people that you serve. And so if we can improve the health access you know it would be great if our economy would improve. You know you can tell he's been hit so hard with the coal mining jobs going away and then people moving away. So you lose friends and family to different states and I guess the main thing is that our youth would have hope – hope that Appalachia would still be home.
Dr. Jones: [00:21:42] I want to thank you for coming on our podcast and I just thank you for your work and for using your life. It inspires me to hear from people like you that love their home and are really working to make their home a better place. And I just really appreciate so much the work that you've done in your appreciation for social workers. Thank you for supporting, Fran, I really appreciate that.
Dr. Feltner: [00:22:08] Absolutely thank you for having me today.

You've heard the phrase "There is no 'I' in team"? In the Washington Post, the hateful gay-bashing Rev. Kenneth Hutcherson writes, "There is No Gay in Team." The former second-string-NFL-player-turned-number-one-opponent-of-school-anti-bullying laws rails against the threat of openly gay football players in the NFL. Like many black so-called Christians, Hutcherson pretends black gays and lesbians never suffered under segregation.
Football is like the army—it's a battle field. In war you have to trust the guy that's next to you. Now, if a teammate has different views about what they're attracted to in the showers it's going to affect the team. It'll destroy the oneness.
Men are going to be more comfortable with other heterosexuals. It's like having a woman on the team or having a woman in the shower. How can you keep your mind on the game when you're thinking about running back to the showers? It would have a tremendous effect. It would be safer for the team and the individual if they didn't come out.
It's not a civil rights issue like with racism—there's no comparison. That's not even apples and oranges, that's like comparing apples to Chevys. Has a homosexual ever been considered 3/5ths of a person? Has a homosexual ever had to sit at the back of the bus? Has a homosexual ever had to use a different bathroom? I can't change being black but there are a lot of people, especially in our churches, that have changed being gay.
That's a very interesting take that no homosexuals "ever had to sit on the back of the bus." Many certainly did. Just ask Bayard Rustin or any black gay or lesbian who grew up or were openly gay during Jim Crow. But you keep telling yourself that Rev. Hutcherson.

Migrant Workers North West
Migrant Workers North West has been established as a Limited Company, with charitable objects, to collate and promote "best practice" in the employment of migrant workers and the provision of support to migrant worker communities.
It has already attracted a huge amount of support from organisations which now constitute MWNW's Advisory Committee, and include the North West TUC; MPs and Members of the European Parliament; One North West; ACAS; City College Manchester; First Bus; Arriva; Manchester Refugee Support Network; the Co-operative Group; Logistics College North West; Oxfam; Sustainability North West; the Manufacturing Institute; the Employment Relations Forums; Jobcentre Plus; and many others.
Migrant Workers North West acts as a co-ordinating body for all organisations and agencies providing services which support migrant workers, their employers and their communities. Full details of those services are published in the MWNW website at www.migrantworkersnorthwest.org.
In addition, the organisation helps to develop best practice in the employment of migrant workers through the promotion of a Minimum Standards Charter, endorsed by both the North West TUC and Business in the Community. MWNW then also uses this best practice model to promote employment opportunities for indigenous workless groups within the Region, ensuring that a "holistic" approach is taken to filling labour and skills shortages across the North West. Our Project Workers will engage positively with employers wanting to apply such best practice, signposting them towards the various agencies who can assist them.
MWNW will particularly promote the need for a detailed skills strategy in relation to migrant workers and promotes the positive benefits of migrant workers to the North West economy within workplaces and communities.

Bombay Brasserie Restaurant Review: Bombay Brasserie seduces with its smart main restaurant and plant-filled conservatory with an open kitchen. Part of the Taj hotel chain, this is a self-confident, delightful place where the cooking never fails to please. Potato cake with white peas and chutney; soft shell crab accented by ginger; mains of tandoori chicken supreme with yoghurt and cardamom; green mango prawns; Goan fish curry; and chicken pepper masala: all the classics are present on an extensive menu. For the die-hards, the Sunday lunch buffet remains as a touch of the great past and there is a set Tiffin Menu, too, both at £28. Service is as enthusiastic and gracious as ever.

We gave three teacher-bloggers an opportunity to try out I Read to Write and give their impartial feedback. The following are just some of their comments on the program features that appeal to them and their students. Be sure to visit their blogs to read the full reviews.
"...what I really loved were those tiny, yellow sticky-note images on the right-hand side of the article. These were the meat of the text-dependent question work and really had kids go back and underline, label, and then paraphrase, explain, or quote the text."
Stephanie Van Horn, the blogger at 3rd Grade Thoughts
"LOTS of text features included! Rich text with quality text features isn't as abundant [elsewhere] for second graders as it is for older kiddos. Love that this resource has quality text features!"
Brenda at Primary Inspired reviewed the second grade level of the program and was pleased to find articles with meaningful text features for her grade level.
"Each of the [text sources is] highly engaging and very relevant to what my students are interested in (and what I am interested in as a teacher…hello, American Revolution!!)"
Teaching in Room 6 blogger Stephanie is a fan of the content-area text sources in the grade 5 program.

Photography. Isn't it wonderful? Capturing a special moment that you'll have a lifetime is such a timeless treasure.
I love photo gifts. The options and variations available are in endless supply at any thrift store. And at rock bottom prices it's a must buy for a loved one.
The wonderful thing about these gift options is that they can be small in size, inexpensive in price, and easy to ship to those living far away.
As I have sifted through these items many times before, I have come up with some helpful tips when on the lookout for these gifts.
Be careful of the frames. I nearly stay away from them now unless they seem new and in excellent condition. Instead choose a small photo book that can be easily tucked away and taken out as desired. They are great for those trying to have less possessions as well as they don't take up much space.
Prices vary between 25 cents to $1.00 for the pictured items below. I literally didn't spend more than that on these items. For photo development I suggest Walgreens photo as they almost always have photo developing deals of 40-50% off. Just enter the promo code shown on their site at check out. Development is available in a 4×4 size as well which worked great for these projects.
I also recommend photo cubes and wood blocks. The wood blocks can be used for a photo transfer. My next project will be transferring photos to these wooden blocks that I got for $1.00. What a steal! The photo cube I gifted to a friend. It was a $1.99 and could be put on her desktop at work. I know that she loved it.
Lastly, I suggest photo magnets. I love them and Michaels has a great supply. Their store is great also because you can always use coupons on your purchases.
I hope that you all enjoyed these photo project ideas. Not only are they easy but inexpensive as well! They are great for stocking stuffers at Christmas, a perfect accompaniment to a birthday card, and great for family and friends!

As you probably know, regular brushing, flossing and rinsing are some of the most important things you can do to maintain healthy teeth and gums. But as we age, it can become challenging to perform some or all of these tasks.
For example, wrapping floss around your fingers or keeping a steady hand may become difficult and uncomfortable. If you're finding traditional flossing difficult, there are a few tools and tricks you can use to make flossing easier. Also be sure to check out our article on Tooth Brushing Tips for Older Adults.
Why Flossing is Important
As plaque and food work under the gums, neglecting to remove it can lead to gum disease. Flossing is important because it allows you to clean under your gums and between teeth. It's important to brush twice a day and floss before bed every day.
What Can I Use Instead of Floss?
Floss Picks
A floss pick is a simple tool that allows you to clean under your gums and between teeth without wrapping a long piece of floss around your finger. Instead, a short string of floss is attached to a handle that may be quite short or long and toothbrush-like. Dispose of the floss pick after each use.
Water Flossers
A water flosser is a device that cleans by flushing the gums out with water, which may be easier to use than traditional floss and can be purchased at most drug stores. Water flossers are generally comprised of a small countertop unit attached to a water tank by a narrow hose.
While water flossers are convenient, they should not be used while lying down or if you cannot remain standing over a sink to complete the task.
Though you should always read the instructions for your specific device, most water flossers can be operated using these steps:
- Fill the tank with water. You can also add an optional tablespoon of antiseptic.
- Hold the handle so that the flosser is angled between two teeth.
- When you're ready, direct the water pulse so that it can stream under the gums.
- As you floss, let the water run out of your mouth while using the handle to direct the pulses to each section of gum tissue.
Regular Dentist Visits
Lastly, one important step to keeping your mouth healthy is to see your dentist regularly for cleanings. Between dental visits, you should always do your best to keep your teeth and gums healthy, but you can trust that the dentist will check your teeth and gums and clean them much more thoroughly at their office.
Be sure to follow a schedule for your appointments, which may be once every three, four or six months. During your appointments, ask any questions you may have, and don't be afraid to ask how you are doing with taking care of your teeth at home and what you can do to improve.

Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., in a previously undisclosed meeting with Moscow "refuseniks," was asked to lobby Soviet leadership on behalf of a cancer-stricken woman seeking treatment abroad, her husband said Monday.
Naum Meiman, a mathematician first refused permission to emigrate in 1975, said Kennedy was interested in his plight but "could not tell us something pleasant." Meiman's news conference for Western correspondents came less than a week after the Soviet government released Jewish activist Anatoly Shcharansky, jailed for nine years on espionage charges. Few refuseniks said they believe it signals a change in Kremlin emigration policy.
"The Soviet authorities refuse my wife permission to leave for treatment," Meiman said he told Kennedy, who left Moscow Feb. 7 after meeting Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. "It would be different if you personally addressed Mr. Gorbachev," Meiman said in a letter presented to the Massachusetts Democrat. "He would find it hard to disregard you."

Inspired by crime scene investigation shows* I decided to make some DIY bloody cupcakes and crime scene tape party plates for Halloween using washi tape. *Truth: I hate watching TV shows or movies with tons of blood, so the closest "bloody" thing I might express interest in would be the video game Dragon Age which is known for it's stylistic blood splatters.
When it comes to Halloween party plates the options are rather limited I found, with most of the options being overly cute Halloween ghosts or pumpkins which wasn't at all what I was looking for. So when I spotted some Halloween themed washi tape I got to work making some plates by using the tape on the edges of black square paper plates.
Each plate takes less than a minute to make as the process is so simple, so once my stack of 30 plates were done I got to work on decorating my cupcakes which were a vanilla cupcake with vanilla bean icing.
To create the bloody cupcakes I mixed corn syrup and red food coloring together and would use my fork to throw the red mixture onto a cupcake which would be placed on a sheet of wax paper to protect my entire kitchen from becoming a mess. To get dripping blood I would drip the blood off my fork onto the top of the cupcake near the middle and it would pour down. While for the splatter I would flick the fork and it would create droplets. To get a finer mist of blood you could use a clean toothbrush instead to splatter the decorative blood.
Here is the end result of DIY Halloween plates and cupcakes. For you busy folks who decide to do a last minute Halloween party, you can easily use premade white cupcakes and just splatter the blood to make them instantly perfect for Halloween.
Here is my alternative plate this time using skull washi tape around the edge of the black paper plate. For the cupcake I went for something more traditional, so it is an orange cupcake with vanilla bean frosting and black and orange sprinkles. Yum!

A three-month study by the Bureau for Investigative Journalism (BIJ) for Society Guardian has established that in 60% of large house building projects currently in the planning system developers are negotiating to reduce the number of affordable homes they are required to provide.
Developers are using 'financial viability assessments' to persuade Councils that developments would be uneconomic if they met targets for affordable housing.
BIJ provide these statistics:
– 2,300 affordable homes axed over the last 5 years after Section 106 negotiations
– 1.85 million people on council housing waiting lists in England – up 69% in 10 years
– 56,210 households in temporary accommodation – up 9% in the last 9 months
– We are becoming increasingly dependent on Housing Associations to provide low cost housing but HA's will receive only £3.3bn for three years from 2015, a cut of 2.2%, on top of the overall 63% funding reduction made in 2010.

Make your gifts for twins and triplets that little bit extra special. Pick gifts that will be much appreciated by thinking of twins and triplets as being individuals and not just a single unit. While bundles of diapers or other essentials will make a useful gift for newborn multiples, there are many other interesting gift ideas for twins and triplets of all ages.
Personalised Clothes
Show twins and triplets that you recognise each of them as an individual by giving the gift of personalised clothes. Personalise baby bibs and tops; T-shirts for babies, children and adults; hats and many other items of clothing with the name of each of the twins or triplets. Personalise the items yourself using a fabric marker pen or use the services of a company specialising in fabric printing or embroidery.
Charms are a unique gift for twins and triplets of all ages. Buy charms as gifts to mark special occasions and life events that the twins or triplets share. The charms will build into an attractive piece of jewellery that will be filled with memories. Arrange for the charms to be engraved with the name of the individual twin or triplet to make the gift extra personal.
Jewellery Box or Treasure Chest
Give twins and triplets a special place where they can store precious items, such as jewellery and keepsakes. A jewellery box for girls or treasure chest for boys is the perfect place for youngsters to keep their jewellery and keepsakes. Twins and triplets often have to share, therefore giving them each their own box to store things in will be much appreciated.
Scrapbooks for twins and triplets are a thoughtful gift. Make a scrapbook at home using photographs and other mementos, or use a scrapbooking service. To make the scrapbook extra special, remember to include photos of the twins and triplets as individuals as well as with their siblings.
Joint Gifts
A joint gift for twins and siblings can be a great way to buy something that would otherwise fall out of your budget. Parents of newborn twins and triplets may welcome some special items to make things a little easier in the first few months, whereas older twins or triplets will love the shared gift of an expensive game or toy. Joint gifts are not limited to babies and children, however, and experience gifts are perfect for adult siblings to share.
