Lie is nothing but convincing others to accept the false statement as true and liars are none other than the individuals involved in the convincing process. I could say that the liars are the most creative people in this world who come up with a story and turn it into a fact in order to stay away from trouble. On the flip side, i.e., in reality, liars are just 'cowards' who are incapable to do certain things they lie about. You lie to someone about your marks because you're incapable of scoring well; you lie to someone about your salary because you're incapable of earning better or let me put it in other words, you're ashamed of yourself that you're earning a little; you lie about your job not because you feel that you're at the wrong place but you're incapable of doing something that suits you; you lie to your wife because you're incapable of leading a genuine marriage life; you lie to your boss because you're incapable to hone your skills.
I've come across a bunch of liars in my life who lie in different ways. Even though telling a lie isn't a harmful act but it is an act of pessimism that degrades one's self respect. You might have this question in your mind – 'don't tell me that you've never said a lie in your life'. I'll answer that question – 'yes, I have indeed lied many times in my life and I regret it'. It took me some time to realize that speaking a lie will lower my self esteem and that's when I stopped lying to myself as well as to others. If lying is a practice then the other part (i.e., not lying or being truthful) can be achieved through regular practice. I implement the practice of 'being truthful' in my daily life and trust me, the results are fruitful. Admitting your mistake and moving on with it will cause you no regrets than to cover the same mistake with a lie.

PTI exists to help pastors to preach the Word of God clearly and thoroughly. It does this through three separate but often interlinked activities. They are In-country Training, Distance Mentoring and Learning Resources.
Book Set Where We Operate Partner Organisations FAQ
In-Country Training
PTI serves (usually rural) churches by providing 'Teach to Preach' in-country training courses. Whilst never ceasing to maintain its doctrinal standards and ethos, PTI's courses are flexible and easily adapted to local and cultural needs.
Three types of course are currently available, all provided by expatriate trainers with extensive pastoral and teaching experience. Normally lasting for five days, they take place in locations that are accessible to as many local pastors as possible.
It is also essential that these churches learn to become mature and independent as quickly as possible. So after training courses PTI also sets up networks of local pastors who can in turn equip others for effective teaching and pastoral ministry.
[dropdown_box expand_text="Information" show_more="More" show_less="Less" start="hide"]
Pastors' Refresher Course
Subjects include the importance of personal godliness; the importance of preaching for the health of the church; interpreting and applying the Bible; justification; sanctification and regeneration. Particular attention will be given to the inspiration and authority of the Bible.
Some of the teaching is interactive, and the course is led in a spirit of worship and deepening fellowship. To achieve maximum value, courses are limited to 100.
Progressing to Maturity Course
This extends the Refresher course, with the emphasis upon the centrality of Christ. The teaching covers the uniqueness of Christ; His place in the church and living a Christ-like life. It also examines the centrality of Christ in preaching; the nature of faith; the sovereignty of God and contemporary Christian issues.
Preparing for Continuing Ministry
This conference focuses on training for trainers, and is therefore available to pastors whose spirituality and gifts has been recognised during previous courses. The subjects studied advance and extend those from the other courses.
The subjects in this course advance and extend the first two. It seeks to equip those attending to grow in the ministry. So it considers the person and work of the Holy Spirit and the Letter to the Romans. Sessions are also devoted to preaching; the Atonement and the Gospel Message; and the nature of the Church. Equipping Christian leaders to preach and teach the Word of God with passion and power remains the primary objective.

Distance Mentoring
PTI's Distance Mentoring scheme enables pastors to build on the lessons they have learned during in-country courses. It is also available to those unable to attend courses.
Distance Mentoring works by giving pastors two key learning manuals. Having worked through them they are then given one to one coaching, by email or letter, from experienced trainers based in the UK.
Since it began its work, the Distance Mentoring team has reached over 4,000 pastors and church leaders in 26 countries, mainly in Africa but also in South America, Asia and Europe. Around 2,200 overseas pastors currently benefit from Distance Mentoring.
[dropdown_box expand_text="Information" show_more="More" show_less="Less" start="hide"]
What does the Distance Mentoring scheme offer?
Pastors applying for books are first encouraged to read What the Scriptures Teach by E F Kevan, answer the questions at the back and post them to their personal mentors.
Their depth of Biblical understanding is then assessed so they can be given the most suitable selection of follow-up books. Others, generally with a more thorough Bible College education, are encouraged to read The Christian Handbook by Peter Jeffery, and to complete the accompanying Workbook.
This is a much more demanding task, but many pastors have completed it to a high standard and show they have clearly understood the truths they have studied.
Learning Resources
PTI continues to receive encouraging and practical support from CBW and other major Christian publishers. It means we are able to offer a wide range of excellent books to local pastors – either free, or at a nominal charge set by the Local PTI Conference Leadership Team.
Literature is a vital part of PTI's conference training and mentoring ministries. It is used to extend pastors' personal spiritual development and understanding of the Bible.
PTI is currently working jointly with CBW to develop additional training materials for the future.
[dropdown_box expand_text="Information" show_more="More" show_less="Less" start="hide"]
Self Study
Besides What the Scriptures Teach and the Christian Handbook, PTI also makes additional literature available to those pastors who prefer this method of teaching. Alternatively, selected books may be sent in response to an issue raised in a tutorial.
Book Sets
All attendees at the in-country training conferences receive a set of suitable books to help them in their ongoing ministry. These are supplied during the closing session, although the Christian Handbook is given sooner so it may be used during discussions and individual study periods.

Rob is sixty four years old; received his Fine Art degree from the University of Southern California, and studied at L.A. Art Center under James Jordan. For over thirty years he worked variously as a film producer, senior advertising executive, and Creative Director for large federated groups of national and international non-profits. In the late nineties he put aside these "former worlds" to engage in a full time studied practice of the visual arts; primarily through the self-developed discipline of Extractionist® Painting.
By way of insight, Rob was born with acute Dyslexia (Lysdexia as he "kids" in describing it). He credits this once long suffered handicap as the principle instrument for his studied ability to look intently INTO objects, rather than simply at them, and then "extract" caches of living imagery from within.
Rob's work continues to appear in national and regional competitions, solo exhibits in San Francisco and Northern California, gallery exhibits on both the West and East coasts. And of course his work is always available for viewing through his studio gallery in Marin County, California. Rob's Extractionist Paintings® are in the collections of multinational corporations, universities, military headquarters, and numerous other public and private venues. His regional U.S. representation includes Artfirm Gallery/Louisville, KY, ARThouse Gallery/Glen Ellen CA, CODA Gallery/Palm Desert CA, Studio 47 Galleries/Woodstock, VT, ArtworkSF/San Francisco CA, and a host of online fine art web sites. Of course, he is always eager to discuss additional representation by accredited galleries and dealers. Rob Nye Studios©, located in Fairfax, California is open by appointment.

Generic Company Place Holder Office Tab (32-bit version)
Note: This review addresses v5.2 of the software.
Office Tab solves one of Microsoft Office's shortcomings: How to handle multiple documents open in different windows. Unlike Web browsers, Office doesn't use tabs, so you can't see at a glance all the documents you're working on, and it's not easy to switch between them. Office Tab solves the problem by putting tabs on Office, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Every time you create or open a new document, that document runs in its own tab. To switch between tabs, simply click on the one you want to use. You can also use keyboard shortcuts to switch as well.
You can also customize how the tabs work, for example, by determining where to place them, what shortcuts to use, and whether to hide the Tabs bar when only one tab is open.
At $25, Office Tab isn't overly expensive. If you often find yourself fumbling around when switching between open documents, it may well be worth it for you.
Note: This software comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. This is the 32-bit version. If your 64-bit PC is running a 64-bit OS, please download the 64-bit version instead.

After winning the granddaughter of Joy Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Siddique Tulip letter threatening to kill a British member of parliament said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The National Press Club of Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ) and Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ) joint iftar iphatarapurba he said in a brief statement.
The Prime Minister highlighted the attempted murder of his family members repeatedly, my niece with a letter threatening to kill a British MP has been tiulipake. The letter says: "Your grandfather killed it, just as your mother, aunt, and that you will die." The threats happened after the murder of a British MP. Not only the tulip, Joy was trying to kill. Buy one of the officers had been kidnapped by the FBI in the United States to destroy victory. And the leaders of bienapirai.
In this context, the Prime Minister said the BNP leader (Khaleda Zia) had said earlier that he would hasinamukta Bangladesh. He wants to kill me means. BNP leader also had said the next one hundred years, the Prime Minister, why I can not be the leader of the opposition. That means to me that he wanted to confer life.
Tarique Rahman did not mention the name of the Prime Minister in London sitting in a black sheep. Why have the British government that the country does not know it gives a visa. A British MP was killed, another MP tiulipake has been receiving death threats. Thus, they are conspiring against the country and abroad.
The assassination of the Prime Minister, I said earlier that the assassinations in the country is, we have information about it. It has been proven today. Madaripur in Ripon Chakrabarty was trying to kill. People flagrante delicto has one of the camp staff. It has been proven that through, publicly burned after the killing of the BNP-Jamaat men are these assassinations. Now people are starting to catch up with the guptahatyakaridera, will in future.
The Prime Minister, ironically, we do not want to let militancy and terrorism in the country. The ground will not be any room for militant terrorists. However, whether the trial will be threatened, the country will move ahead.
The Prime Minister said the present government believes in freedom of the press. Freedom to enjoy good, but the journalist society has an obligation to the state. What has been done for the welfare of the journalists said the Awami League government. Criminal laws can not arrest reporters, journalists Welfare Trust structure, providing financial assistance to the destitute reporters, he said, no government in the past did not dare to give private TV channel. During the Awami League government, the private sector, we have given up TV channels, it has a large number of people in employment, including journalists.
Parliament and non-governmental TV talk show 'is not one of the Prime Minister, Parliament in compliance with the Constitution and Rules of Procedure to speak. In addition to the reins takasote talk. Of course you can not criticize the government takasote, errors will be delivered, but the criticism should be constructive. Your word is the welfare of the society, so it is not incoherent.
In this context, the Prime Minister Joy Bangla wrong about the BBC news recently over the issue of the need to have a policy ganamadhyamerao. Are required to adhere to all regulations. Recently, an international organization like the BBC reported baseless. It was not at all acceptable to the international media.
He told the Press Club, an organization of the National Press Club. The company built up so spectacular, local and foreign journalists at the presaklabake as dekhe Build. The government will extend all possible cooperation.
The assassination and the conspiracy against Prime Minister urged journalists to be.
The gathering was also addressed by Inu, Prime Minister's Media Advisor Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury, president of the National Press Club Shafiqur Rahman, Dr Zafar BFUJ acting president, secretary-general Omar Faruk and diujera president Saban Mahmud. DUJ General Secretary Sohel Haider Chowdhury conducted the ceremony.
Iftar Health Minister Mohammad Nasim, Minister Mujibul Haq, Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr. AAMS Arefin Siddique, Vice Chancellor of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Prof Dr. Kamrul Hasan Khan, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister Abul Kalam Azad, the press secretary of the Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim, a large number of senior journalists and two members from across the country joined the organization.
The Wage Boards for journalists and reporters gathering the leaders of the declaration and called on the Prime Minister to accommodation. In response, the Prime Minister directed the ceremony tathyamantrike the 7th and 8th wage board for journalists we have. Since the media non-governmental organizations. Therefore, 9th Wage Board tathyamantrike'll talk to the owners' side. Take appropriate action. And the best place to find accommodations for the journalist asking the leaders, you are out of place, and of course you will cooperate with the government. Iftar mahfil prayers at the National Press Club to talk with the leaders of the journalists boarded-caritaya busy.https://blogebanglatk.wordpress.com/

Kyrsten Sinema votes with Pelosi, against rescission package
PHOENIX — Kyrsten Sinema lined up behind Nancy Pelosi last night to vote against a good government measure to cut $15 billion in wasteful government spending.
The $15 billion rescission package takes back funding from federal programs that has been sitting unused or is not need for its intended purpose any longer.
Some of the commonsense spending cuts include:
- Rescinding $133 million from a Railroad Retirement Board program that ended in 2012.
- Rescinding $4 billion from the Department of Energy loan program for Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing which has not made a loan since 2011.
"Kyrsten Sinema's charade of masquerading as a moderate is up," McSally Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair said. "Arizonans want fiscally responsible legislators shrinking government. They don't want tax and spend proponents like Kyrsten Sinema who look to grow the size of government and toss around taxpayer dollars like it's going out of style. Last night Kyrsten showed her true colors and sided with Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party over Arizonans."
According to ProPublica, Kyrsten Sinema votes with Nancy Pelosi 76 percent of the time.
Colonel Martha McSally is a veteran of the United States Air Force and was the first female fighter pilot to fly in combat and command a fighter squadron. Now, she's deployed to DC, serving Southern Arizona in Congress. Martha is running for the United States Senate to fight the fights that must be won on national security, economic security and border security. She's on a mission to get results for all Arizonans, supporting our troops, protecting Arizona jobs and securing our border. Martha will deliver for Arizonans in the Senate, just like she did in Congress and on the battlefield.

As I was indoctrinated, God (infer Yahweh) was a mean old white guy with a beard. His Son (another white guy) also had a beard quite often, it seemed. Though it would have rounded out the trinity, the Holy Ghost was never depicted, though I do not believe that depiction is scripturally prohibited. One has to suspect he's bearded. And white.
To me, thinking "out of the box," it always seemed that if there was a god, I'd be more inclined to wish for a goddess. The feminine aspects of deity were more attractive to me -- love, compassion, tolerance -- than the masculine aspects -- dominance, aggression, dogma. When I saw Star Trek, and realized that women came in many colors, I began to imagine my goddess in shades of blue.
So, while I've been more exposed to religions with a dominant male deity, I've been more interested in religions with female deities. Which most often rears its head in conflict with the Christian "no other gods before me" because (in my limited experience) feminine deities are most often encountered within a pantheon.
In your studies, what religions have you encountered that placed a feminine diety as the only, or dominant deity within a belief system. If it involves a blue goddess squatting on a pyramid, that's fine, too.

It's been a while since I've made an update in this blog. However there are lot's of teaching, reading and discussions that need to be attended lately in my faculty, since we are moving forward to the school system. Later, my department shall be absorbed to the new structure which is named School of Ocean Engineering. So my research team here are aligning our strategy to fit in so we can contribute to the new system.
Nevertheless, no worries. Yesterday I manage to get a free time off from the subjects and whatnot, to print a toothpaste tube roller!

Thank you Thingiverse user: Jazman for providing us the file.

A month after extending the contract of basketball coach Jim Larranaga, Miami has done the same for its football coach.
The school's athletics director, Blake James, confirmed Thursday that Mark Richt will work in Coral Gables through 2023.
"Mark has done a phenomenal job of building this program – and generating enthusiasm for this program – since the day he arrived back on campus," James said in a press release. "We look forward to continued success under his watch, both on and off the field, for many years to come."
Miami has long been of that mind.
Richt, 58, has been coy about the length of his contract — "it's long enough," he said after he was hired in Dec. 2015 — but has said numerous times he hopes to retire at Miami. He was the 12th highest-paid coach at Georgia ($4.1 million a year, per public documents) when the school fired him in 2015. He was making at least that at Miami, a source familiar with the negotiations said at the time of his hire.
The Associated Press reported the deal was for six years, making this a two-year extension. Larranaga recently signed a two-year extension for an undisclosed figure. UM, a private school, is not required to disclose such contract information.
Richt, who will be 63 at the end of his deal, is 19-7 in his first two seasons at his alma mater. The Hurricanes went 10-3 last year and reached the ACC title game. It was the team's first appearance in that game since joining the league in 2004. The Canes played in the Orange Bowl — their first major bowl bid since 2003. It was also the school's first 10-win season since that year.
Richt was named ACC Coach of the Year and Walter Camp National Coach of the Year.
Soon after his arrival, Richt beat the drum loudly for an indoor practice facility, chipping in $1 million to the fundraising efforts. Miami, one of only major college football programs without shelter from the elements, opens a $34 million maison du football américain in late July.
"We're excited about where this program is headed," said Richt, who spent 15 years at Georgia and 15 more as a Florida State assistant before coming to UM, where he played quarterback from 1978-82. The Boca Raton native lives in Coconut Grove with his wife, Katharyn. His son, Jon, is UM's quarterbacks coach.
"Miami is not only my alma mater, it is home to me and my family. It's a blessing to live and work in paradise."
Richt is 164-58 in 17 seasons.

For those that aren't aware, the R8C was officially launched at the Snetterton Race Circuit in the United Kingdom by Audi in 1999. The 3.12km clockwise circuit is fast and its design makes it very suitable for Le Mans testing. In fact Bentley, Audi and Williams BMW have all performed testing at Snetterton.
The circuit dates back to 1951 when the Aston Martin Owner's Club organised the first race. Very interestingly, the original 1951 track consisted of a network of runways which were used by the 96th US Air Force Bomber Group during the 2nd World War, but I digress.
This from Wikipedia;
"Unlike the R8R, which performed the bulk of the testing due to being completed first, the R8C had very little time to test prior to the initial group test for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in May. At this group test, the cars unfortunately suffered numerous setbacks and lacked the pace of the open-cockpit brothers. Although they were capable of hitting speeds upwards of 350 km/h (217 mph) on the Mulsanne straight, they lacked the handling ability and overall speed for a full lap. While the R8Rs managed the 8th and 11th fastest times, the R8Cs could only muster 22nd and 28th fastest. The R8Cs mostly suffered from aerodynamic problems, especially in the build-up of air underneath the engine cover. This caused the R8Cs to lose their rear engine covers while at speed on several occasions."
"For the race itself, the R8Cs were unable to find much improvement over the month off. Qualifying was more of the same, as the R8Cs managed a mere 20th and 23rd places, while the R8Rs were still 9th and 11th. Unfortunately during the race, both the R8R and R8C suffered numerous gearbox difficulties. One R8C was forced to drop out of the race after just 55 laps, while the second R8C would succumb to gearbox failure after the midpoint of the race. Even though the R8Rs suffered gearbox difficulties, both cars managed to finish the race, taking an impressive third and fourth place."
"Following Le Mans, Audi decided that they would concentrate on only one of the two types of cars for the future of their program. The dismal performance of the R8C, along with the exodus from the LMGTP class by most major manufacturers, lead to Audi to develop an open-cockpit car - the R8."PRESENTATION
Well even if you prefer race liveried slot cars you couldn't help but be highly impressed with the appearance of the Audi R8C Snetterton Roll-out release by Slot.it. The updated version of the first RTR slot car Slot.it ever produced comes in a matt black as opposed to a high gloss black of the original 2002 release. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the matt black being quite used to seeing the original release, it seemed to look more like a model car and less realistic. However, after a few months I have changed my opinion and now prefer the new matt black colour.
The Audi R8C comes in Slot.it's standard packaging which I still feel is the industry's best packaging by far. Although the car is firmly secured to the box base, Slot.it ship their cars with a clear plastic spacer which protects the car from damage should it come away from the base. If you've ever experienced what I term a 'slot car milkshake', (where a slot comes away from its base during transit) you'll also appreciate Slot.its packaging efforts.SPECIFICATIONS
· Crown Gear: 26 Tooth
· Pinion Gear: 9 Tooth
· Motor Pod: SICH24 - Reverse offset mount
· Tires: SIPT02 (comes with an additional rear set of S1 rubber)
· Motor: Inline 21500 V12/3 with 170g.cm at 12 volts
· Magnatraction: Dual position, (magnet supplied in rear position)
· Side-winder or Boxer (Long Can inline) motor pod compatible
· Weight: 72 grams
As always, Slot.it continue to produce slot cars built to very high standards and their attention to detail is excellent. The paint finish of this model is absolutely top-shelf. Unlike the 2002 Snetterton release, the large Audi emblem is not present on the rear wing, (See above photo) and some smaller Shell brandings are also not present. I don't feel this detracts from the release.The Audi's original wheels have been replaced by the McLaren GTR's wheels. These look fantastic on the Audi and I'm happy to report my rear inserts were countersunk very well unlike the wheel inserts I received on my Slot.it Goodwood McLaren and Ferrari F40.
Front detail is very nice including remodeler lights, windscreen detail, vents and Audi emblem. The bonnet of the Audi is a bit longer than the original and has been strengthened via to supports in the front intake, (a good thing as this area can be subjected to some big hits).
Rear detail is good with exhaust pipes, diffuser detail and clear rear lights. Side intake detail is excellent and I welcome the small painted body clamps and windscreen fixings. The rear tail is glued in place and has some flexibility ensuring it should withstand all but the heaviest of impacts.Overall the body of the R8C is more pronounced, the cars looks even more aggressive. Of particular note is the redesigned nose and roof which looks excellent. The model comes with two rubber aerials which is great for longevity. Slot.it have produced this model without rear view mirrors or a windscreen wiper. Upon checking some photography of the R8C on the track Slot.it have it right, the prototype has no windscreen wiper or rear vision mirrors, (see very top photo). However it does look like the prototype did only have one aerial but this is not an issue for me. I note that the Orange CA12R1 Audi R8C Racing Anglewinder slot comes with rear view mirrors but no windscreen wiper. The driver figure is impressively painted and decaled and can be seen in many of the photos. The body is removed from the chassis via 2 screws which is standard for all Slot.it cars, body removal and reassembly is very easy. As you can see this chassis is side-winder motor pod compatible and comes with the SICH24 reverse offset motor pod. The Audi comes with a Slot.it standard magnet in the rear position. The chassis can be upgraded to Anglewinder or SSD Sport Digital system. One of the first things I do to any Slot.it I'm lucky enough to own is to loosen the motor pod screws half to one full turn thus allowing a degree of chassis/body role. This allows you can hold more speed through corners, although be careful not to loosen the screws too much, as the rear rubber can rub on body work causing drag. It also looks like Slot.it have designed the entire body to roll on the chassis as the chassis is completely contained within the body. Slot.it have even cut two curved slots in the chassis (just behind the front wheels) to allow the side vent detail to not touch the chassis. The 'Reloaded' chassis is the bottom chassis shown in the below photo, the original 2002 Audi R8C is above it for comparison.
I've read some negative things about the new Audi's track performance from several sources. When I first put my Audi on the track I couldn't help but feel as if the slot was running slow, as if it was limited to 80 percent of its potential. Don't be concerned, this was a temporary situation and the slot was running very quickly after a few simple mods.
As with most recent Slot.it offerings, I found the guide to be too tight and unable to move freely. This is not a big issue and as with my other Slot.its, I removed the guide from the chassis by carefully levering it out from underneath the chassis using a small flat head screw driver. To fix the tight guide post issue, I used a low RPM cordless drill and a 9/64 drill bit. After removing the guide, slowly drill the guide hole, (make sure you're drilling perpendicular to the chassis). You won't need to drill very much, just a few seconds at very low RPM to remove a little excess plastic. Reinsert your guide and test, you should find that the small issue is fixed.Once I had fixed the guide and inspected the internals to ensure everything was alright, I loosened the motor pod a little allowing the body to roll through the corners. I then set about putting some serious laps on my Audi. It is almost true for all slots that they improve with laps but the Audi came to life! After an hour of driving the Audi had freed up and lost all its performance issues. I decided to swap to the supplied Slot.it high performance rear rubber and the Audi quickly became the one of the fastest slots ever on my track. I would have liked to do a time comparison against one of my original Audis but they are setup for non-magnetic running. As most modern Slot.it cars, the Audi has very strong acceleration and braking and is very quick in a straight line. Handling is excellent through even the most testing of corners as well. Now that Slot.it have released a 'white kit' Audi, I think this car will become a very popular slot for club events as it goes very well and looks fantastic on the track!
On my plastic Carrera track, the Audi does not have too much magnetic down force which I have found with the Slot.it McLaren. Out of interest I removed the magnet to see how the car would run non-mag. As you would expect from a Slot.it, the Audi did not disgrace itself and ran beautifully around my track. Weight distribution is excellent and I doubt if I'll even need to experiment with some added weight in the future.
Slot.it has stuck to their 'magic slot formula' and produce a slot car that is destined to be fiercely raced and highly collectible. The Snetterton has all but sold out from most slot shops so get one if you can as they are a beautiful slot car the drive and alot cheaper that one of the original Audis. As I've commented before, Slot.it continue to produce slots cars that have a high level of engineering, are as fun to drive as they are stunning to look at and are without doubt very collectible.
· Sex Appeal: 7th Gear
· Collectibility: 7th Gear
· Build Quality: 7th Gear
· Attention to Detail: 6th Gear
· 'RTR' Performance: 5th Gear
Overall Manic Score: 6.4 Gears.
The Slot.it Audi R8C 'Reloaded' goes straight into 'Manic's collectible slotcars' list.

My Jones line was in the East Tennessee area before it became a state, possibly as early as the late 1780s and certainly by the early to middle 1790s. I previously covered Thomas Jones as a founding member of Dumplin Creek Baptist Church in Dandridge, Tennessee. Based on what I currently know, here is the direct male line on my Jones side:
- Thomas Jones (born approximately 1760, died about 1836), 6xgreat-grandfather
- Thomas Jones (born in 1778, died 1857), 5xgreat-grandfather
- Robert Thomas Jones Sr (born 1808, died 22 July 1848), 4xgreat-grandfather
- Joseph Thomas Jones (born April 1837, died 21 January 1910), 3xgreat-grandfather
- Thomas Robert Jones (born 23 March 1860, died 1 November 1937), 2xgreat-grandfather
- Edgar Lawrence Jones (born 15 March 1896, died 12 February 1965), great-grandfather
- Keith D. Jones, my Gumpy, still hanging tough at 92
- Keith D. Jones (Dad)
- Patrick L. Jones (me)
- Silas Patrick Jones (my little guy)
The Jones family was in the Jefferson County, Tennessee area from the late 1780s/early 1790s until migrating to Boone County, Indiana between 1872-1879. My 3xgreat-grandfather Joseph Jones returned to Jefferson County sometime before 1897. He married second wife Martha Cordelia Hart on 1 December 1897 in Jefferson County.
Once in Indiana, the family lived primarily in Boone County, but also in neighboring Montgomery County. It bugs me a bit that I spent four years of college in Montgomery County without knowing the history of my family in that part of the state.
|Source: stats.indiana.edu county & township map
In more recent decades, including moves made by my parents, our Jones family has lived in Morgan County and Johnson County, Indiana, El Paso and Houston, Texas, Northern and Southern California, Germany, and Northern Virginia. My family and I have lived in Alexandria twice, from 2001-2006, and currently since 2010.
Upcoming Stories
Now that I have recapped the Jones line, I can see I am missing stories on my 2nd-great-grandfather and great-grandfather, so this will be updated in July. I have some additional writings from my Gumpy's collection of short stories coming, along with photos of his artwork. I will continue to mix in photos from my travels.
Since these stories are not just for me, but a record for the kids and others in the family, I will soon begin to introduce some branches from my wife's side of the family.

BPMN.io – BPMN everywhere for everyone?
- March 17, 2014
- Scott
- 0 Comments
I ran across this announcement on Camunda's site, linking to bpmn.io "Annoucning bpmn.io – BPMN everywhere, for everyone" – and it looks like the establishment of an open source effort to provide lightweight modeling of BPMN 2.0 diagrams on the web.
BPMN 2.0 is an established global standard for modelling business processes. It allows you to visualize business processes, thereby making them easier to capture, discuss and change. Through its well defined file format, it also enables you to exchange modeled diagrams freely across compliant modeling tools. In short: It is a great way to communicate processes.
To leverage the full potential of BPMN the standard must be available to everyone. Everybody should have the possibility to model BPMN with a great usability and every developer should be able to use BPMN diagrams in his or her application. With bpmn.io we build a toolkit that aims accomplish nothing more than this.
Because we believe free and easily accessible tools can make the difference, bpmn.io will be open source and free to use for everyone.
It appears to be a collaboration between Zalando and Camunda, but we'll have to wait for details as so far there is only one post on the subject! Still, sounds intriguing. I can't tell yet if this is going to be something competing with Signavio, or rather something leveraging similar open-source roots.
Another post, on Camunda's blog, perhaps sheds more light:
Marcus Zieger, Director of Enterprise Systems at Zalando explains the motivation: "For a company with strong growth, clearly defined processes play a major role. We already successfully work with camunda in the automation of our order processing and with this project would like to include our requirements directly into the development of a powerful modeling tool. In addition, we appreciate the innovative nature of the open source community and want to actively support it."
Jakob Freund, Managing Director at camunda adds: "Our core product camunda BPM is already available open source and we've had very good experiences with this approach. With bpmn.io we want to – on the one hand – promote process modeling with BPMN further by providing a convenient tool free of charge. On the other hand, bpmn.io will be constructed modularly in a way that enables any interested person familiar with HTML to develop completely new solutions around BPMN."
Something to keep an eye on, perhaps! Maybe I can get an update when I see Camunda out at bpmNEXT in a few weeks.

New Analysis: Sales Navigator Boosts Sales Productivity
May 17, 2018
As a salesperson you need to be able to connect with your target audience. How else can you expect to sell? The nature of sales is to get closer to customers to understand their business and the challenges they face. But how do you optimize building relationships with the right people?
Using LinkedIn data, we studied activity between Sales Navigator users and nonusers within the same company. We compared how both groups discovered and connected with decision makers and aggregated the results. Sales Navigator users vs nonusers saw the following uplifts:
2.8x lift in Searches
4.6x lift in Decision Maker Profile Views
2.5x lift in Decision Maker Connections
Industry Breakdown
From these stats, it may seem straightforward that we see strong results for Sales Navigator in the tech software space given that the product is an online sales tool. But how does Sales Navigator impact productivity of reps in more traditional industries?
Breaking out results by industry, we can see that all industries exhibit positive uplifts across searches, profile views, and connections. Across searches and profile views, industries such as professional services, media, and telecom perform exceptionally well. Across connections, we surprisingly see many traditional industries such as architecture, finance, and retail leading the way with strongest uplift.
Finance & Insurance Sales Navigator users have the highest lift in both Profile Views (~6x) and Connections (~3x). This makes sense, given that we've seen many financial advisors use Sales Navigator to bring in new business. Their livelihood is strongly dependent on growing and maintaining assets under management. Due to the nature of this business, reaching out to people becomes more of a necessity compared to less aggressive industries.
Why do these metrics matter?
Searches and profile views allow you to zero in on the right prospects and prioritize those who share a mutual connection or attended the same school as you. These seemingly simple details are significant because finding common ground is one of the easiest ways to engage with people.
Connecting with customers is also key because it allows sellers to stay informed with their customers' interests and updates. Especially in this digital era where customers are used to personalized experiences, it's even more critical that sellers do basic research before reaching out. We've seen that connecting with people on LinkedIn also translates into 29% average lift in win-rate (source).
How does this impact you?
Regardless of what industry you are in, Sales Navigator can ultimately help you get closer to your target buyers and maximize your team's productivity. Reps on Sales Navigator are searching and viewing more Decision Maker profiles while other reps may remain in the weeds, having a harder time evaluating who to reach out to. Not only are Sales Navigator reps discovering more Decision Makers, but they ultimately connecting with more of them.
Together, searches, profile views, and connections optimize your team's ability to target and engage with the right decision makers. The more your team leverages social selling actions to nurture leads and accounts, the more likely they are to successfully win deals. Find out how your team can see these results today.
Source: LinkedIn Internal Data. Analysis included companies with at least 50 SN users and 50 non-SN users. Timeframe for data is from March 2017-March 2018.

Welcome to the...
(as discussed here)
RollCanvasInfinity is an endless 'Rollcanvas' style Photoshop battle. There is no long waiting periods, disappearing users will not effect turnaround time, and all anyone needs to do to contribute is simply put their hand up before submitting.
Basic Rules:
-Your submissions must be 650 px in length, and 400 px in height.
-You must submit your volleys as JPG (JPEG). To level the playing field, please set the quality to '10'.
-Submitting 'leave' images will not be necessary, simply post the full image in all it's glory in this thread.
-Your submission must be a right-side continuation of the last image posted. Please see other Rollcanvas threads to see how it's done.
-The intention is to connect all of the different users images to create one long mural image which everyone can say they have submitted to.
-Images containing sharp cuts in continuity are allowed, but discouraged. Please make the transition between your volley and the previous volley as smooth as possible.
Thread/Submission Rules:
-Your submissions must be attached to this thread. Discussion inside this thread is also welcome.
-Before you contribute, submit a 'heads-up' post to indicate that you are about to create a volley. Refresh the page (to ensure a double-post did not occur), and if you were the first to inform the others that you are about to create a volley, then you are now free to do so.
-If you do not submit a volley within 10 hours since your 'heads-up' post, then your spot is up for grabs, regardless of how half-way finished your volley is. If you require extra hours, please post the request in the thread indicating that you need more time (no more than a few hours). Please only resort to requesting more time if absolutely necessary.
-This thread is user-moderated. If a contributor submits in an incorrect format or resolution, please message the contributor and ask him/her to resubmit the image correctly.
Please note that this is an 'open' battle, with no central management of any kind. That said, there is no 'big reveal' at the end. One kind user may decide to build a website dedicated to the RollCanvasInfinity to allow viewers to see the whole canvas in its seamless glory. That said, and since there is no central management, users are encouraged to save copies of all of the volleys in this thread on their hard-drives so that if one day a website is created, someone will have the series of images.
The starting image will be attached as the next post. Could some skilled playah's take the next few turns, just to show the newbies how its done?

I used my "natural cobwebs" as my decoration this year for Halloween! It was a nice, but chilly evening. We had about 200 kids come to our door….lots of Teenage Mutant Turtles and Elsas…….only ONE scary butterfly 😉
The Twisty Slide Park
Slice and Bake Oatmeal Cookies
Granddaughter Alice is an oatmeal lover….just like me! She likes to help me on a Saturday morning make a pot of oatmeal while we talk about what we are going to do that day. I always ask her what she wants to add to her bowl and the answer is always the same…pecans, apples and cranberries. My Slice and Bake Oatmeal Cookies are almost like a warm bowl of Oatmeal on a Saturday Morning…..comfortable and delicious.
She was my inspiration for these cookies I baked for the Dixie Crystals Pre-Conference Baking Contest.
I'll be attending the Mixed food blogger conference soon and I can't wait!
There is a prize available but I'm after the Lifetime of Bragging Rights if I win!
As in ALL cooking, Ingredients are the most important thing. I try and find the Best ingredients I can for all my cooking and baking. I like King Arthur Flour and Dixie Crystals Sugar and local eggs and apples picked from the tree and local nuts.
These cookies are usually crisp, but the addition of apples makes them soft and chewy. I would not hesitate to use them as a breakfast on the go or a hi-protein afternoon snack with the addition of more nuts. It is just SMART to have Slice and Bake cookie dough in your refrigerator and it is easy to do.
If you are a blogger, you might want to consider attending the Mixed Conference November 7-9, 2014. I'm SO looking forward to it!
My Slice and Bake Oatmeal Cookies are almost like a warm bowl of Oatmeal on a Saturday Morning.....comfortable and delicious.
- 1 stick Butter
- 3/4 Cup Dixie Crystals Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Dixie Crystals White Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 t. Baking Soda
- 1/2 t. Baking Powder
- 1 t. Salt
- 1 t. Vanilla
- 1 t. Cinnamon
- 1 Cup Flour
- 1/2 Cup Chopped Pecans
- 1/2 Cup Shredded Apple
- 2 Cups Oatmeal
- Cinnamon and Sugar for sprinkling on top of cookie
- Mix Butter and Sugars in a mixer until blended.
- Add Egg, Vanilla, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Cinnamon and Salt. Mix again.
- Stir in Flour and Oatmeal.
- Add Shredded Apple and Chopped Pecans
- Transfer Cookie Dough to a large sheet of parchment paper, making a log shape, and securely wrap up and put in the refrigerator until firm (probably 12 hours).
- Slice and place on a Silpat lined Baking Sheet.
- Sprinkle each cookie with Cinnamon and Sugar
- Bake at 350* for 9-11 minutes.
- Cool slightly on the pan and then move to a wire rack.
Feel free to add and subtract flavorings as you want. We also like this cookie with 1/2 cup of raisins or dried fruit. Almonds or walnuts are also delicious in this cookie.
If the cookie dough seems too sticky, add a little more flour or oatmeal. Humidity, the brand of flour, and the juiciness of the apple all affect the dough.
A log of this dough with some directions make a great gift!
A Day At The Lake With Alice
We made a September weekend trip to the Lake and had a WHOLE day free because the Husker Game didn't start until 9:30 p.m.!
Pancakes and MonkeyBars
Alice At The Bookstore
Of course, I wasn't very happy about the placement of her splendiferous book, so I moved it up a little! See who is looking over her shoulder?
HiYa Martha. Better keep your eye on Megan Hunt!
My favorite magazines…American Bungalow, Where Women Cook and Where Women Create! Megan has been in Where Women Create. MY goal is to be in Where Women Cook.
We then went over the "The Room" as Alice called the Children's Section. This girl LOVES books about Monsters!
We looked at some of the Buddies and she noticed that as FEW of them matched up to books.
I didn't realize what she was doing here when she took a Pidgeon and walked away….but she was matching it to a book about the Pidgeon. Smart Girl, that Alice!
I must get on a Gramma Podium and rant a moment bout the Commercialism in there. It was so unnecessary for the Lego movie poster to even BE in that area of the Beautiful, Gentle artwork on that "stage" area. Let kids get on stage, read a few books, and IMAGINE!!! Megan's book is available at Barnes & Noble, and on Amazon.

Our Work
Our Work
Addictions & Mental Health Ontario (AMHO) is committed to building a comprehensive and accessible system of care for addictions and mental health, which improves the well-being of all individuals, families and communities in Ontario.
Our work is rooted in our vision for a better system for addiction and mental health.
We are working for:
3. An Effective Voice
A Stronger System
AMHO and our members take a system-wide perspective. We are working to create a system that is accessible, integrated and comprehensive. Here is some of the work we are doing to build a stronger system:
AMHO Snapshots
Snapshots are short summaries outlining evidence, Ontario examples and policy recommendations on topics that are essential to improving the mental health and addictions system. These Snapshots can be used as a resource by service providers, policymakers and system managers in their advocacy, service design, system planning and decision-making.
Topics include:
- Cannabis Use and Mental Health
- Trans-Inclusion Designated People with Mental Health & Addictions Issues
- Alternate Level of Care Designated People with Mental Health & Addictions Issues
Ontario's Mental Health and Addictions Leadership Advisory Council
In 2014, Ontario created the Mental Health and Addictions Leadership Advisory Council (the Council) to advise the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care on how to implement Ontario's Comprehensive Mental Health and Addictions Strategy (the Strategy) over a 3-year period.
There were 20 members of the Council, including Gail Czukar, AMHO's CEO. The full list of members of the Council can be viewed on the Council's website.
Our work in support of the Council
AMHO supports the work of the Council in various ways, including the following:
- Youth addictions working group
- Supportive housing working group
- System alignment and capacity working group
- Core set of services
- Primary care task force
Better Mental Health Means Better Health – The Council's Annual Report 2015
In it's first annual report, Better Mental Health Means Better Health, the Council outlines five priority areas to begin the system-level transformation of mental health and addictions in Ontario. These five priorities of the Council's work include:
- Prevention, Promotion and Early Intervention
- Youth Addictions
- Supportive Housing
- System Alignment and Capacity
- Community Mental Health and Addictions Funding Reform
In addition to outlining the five priority areas, the Council's 2015 annual report also provided some initial advice to government. The Council urged action in five priority areas, including:
- Make it easier for young people to transition from youth to adult mental health and addictions services and supports.
- Expect the same focus on quality from Ontario's mental health and addictions system as you do from other parts of the health care system
- Move on key First Nation, Métis, Inuit, and urban Aboriginal mental health and addictions needs
- Prioritize investments in supportive housing focused on meeting the needs of individuals with mental illness and addictions
- Prioritize investments in supportive housing focused on meeting the needs of individuals with mental illness and addictions
Moving Forward: Better Mental Health Means Better Health – The Council's Annual Report 2016
In the second annual report in 2016, titled Moving Forward: Better Mental Health Means Better Health, the Council identified youth, housing, quality and Indigenous partnerships as the four key areas of progress. The report was released by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care coinciding with an announcement of $140 million investment towards mental health and addictions over the next three years.
The council focused on three strategic considerations in the development of its recommendations: to promote, prevent, and intervene early; to close critical service gaps; and to build foundations for system transformation. These considerations led to the council making three key recommendations to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care:
- Promote, prevent, and intervene early: That the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care work with other ministries and stakeholders to promote, prevent and intervene early across the lifespan
- Close critical service gaps: That the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care address the chronic gaps in youth addiction, psychotherapy and supportive housing.
- Build foundations for system transformation: That the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care undertake three critical first steps toward large-scale transformation, leveraging the work of the Ministry of Children and Youth Services in these areas
Coordinated Access
Finding mental health and addiction services can be frustrating. There are a variety of approaches, and organizations. Some services are privately funded. Waiting lists for the publicly funded programs are often discouragingly long.
In different Ontario regions health system administrators have developed mechanisms to streamline access to publicly funded mental health and addiction services. There are a variety of "coordinated access" mechanisms in place. These are programs like Here 24/7 in Waterloo Region, and the Access Point in Toronto.
Working closely with government – and with the support of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care – AMHO has undertaken efforts to document and assess Ontario's programs for coordinating access to mental health and addiction services. This work has been a collaboration with Dr. Brian Rush of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), as well as CAMH's Provincial System Support Program.
The first step was to document existing models. In 2016, the Review of Coordinated/Centralized Access Mechanisms: Evidence, Current State and Implications was released.
The second step was the production of a report that assessed the effectiveness of existing coordinated access models. Evaluation of Coordinated Access Mechanisms was completed in 2017.
Structured Psychotherapy
In February 2017 Ontario's Minister of Health and Long-Term Care announced the launch of a provincial structured psychotherapy program. This was a response to a recommendation from Ontario's Mental Health and Addictions Leadership Advisory Council.
The first phase of the structured psychotherapy program has launched. Ontarians can now access help in the following three ways:
- Structured psychotherapy programs are being offered by Ontario's four specialty mental health hospitals, in collaboration with community partners. For more information please contact Royal Ottawa Hospital, Ontario Shores, Waypoint, or the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
- The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Ontario has expanded access to Bounce Back, a coaching program that includes telephone support and instructional workbooks. Bounce Back is intended to address problems related to moderate depression and anxiety. More information is available here.
- The Ontario Telemedicine Program has launched an on-line self-management tool, the Big White Wall. More information is available at here.
Better Services
AMHO and our members work continuously to improve the quality of mental health and addiction services in Ontario. Check out some of the ways we are working to better our services:
Excellence through Quality Improvement Project (E-QIP)
Since 2016, the Excellence through Quality Improvement Project has been working with the community mental health and addictions sector to enhance the ability of agencies within this area of healthcare to understand and apply quality improvement methods. E-QIP has offered QI project coaching support to agencies, an extensive training and education program and developed an online community of practice to continue that is a portal for QI resources and sharing.
E-QIP is a collaborative initiative of Addictions and Mental Health Ontario (AMHO), Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA Ontario), and Health Quality Ontario (HQO). Together these organizations are supporting Ontario's community mental health and addiction service providers to make care better by enhancing a sector-wide culture of Quality Improvement (QI).
Supportive Housing
In April 2017, AMHO developed Supportive Housing: Recommendations for the Provision of Support Services. This report was developed to support and inform the implementation of supportive housing units, and, to guide the implementation of models for the provision of support within housing. The intended outcomes of the recommendations for the design and structure of the system are to guarantee that:
- The needs of clients seeking supportive housing are met
- Supportive housing providers are held accountable for high quality standards in the delivery of services
- Support for the integration of the supportive housing system with other parts of the health and social service system is provided
- Investments are allocated in a standardized way across the province while taking into account local characteristics
Building on this work, AMHO has also be leading research regarding promising practices in supportive housing across Ontario, to facilitate knowledge sharing and identify how providers are meeting unique challenges.
Residential Services
The Evaluation of Residential Support Services* project set out to look at best practices associated with adult residential addiction treatment in Ontario. Based on this analysis of best practices, the project developed standards for residential addiction treatment (see below).
Evaluation of Residential Support Services
The Ontario Adult Residential Treatment Standards set out minimum standards of professional and clinical practice to guide the operation of residential addiction services in Ontario. The standards are clearly defined for each category of service delivery. The manual is divided into the following sections:
- Model of Substance Use Services and Supports
- Residential Substance Use Services and Support in Ontario
- Provincial Standards for Adult Residential Substance Use Standards
- Principles that Inform the Standards
- How to Use the Standards
- Standards
*The Evaluation of Residential Support Services project is one of the 12 Ontario Drug Treatment Funding Programs, funded by Health Canada as part of the Treatment Action Plan under the Federal National Anti-Drug Strategy (2007).
Peer Support
The Best Practices in Peer Support* project aims to identify best practices for active engagement with mutual aid/self-help and peer support resources in mental health and addiction. The final report provides information and resources to ensure peer support services are provided in the best way possible and are appropriately incorporated into the addiction and mental health system.
The project focuses on best practices in three areas:
- Capacity building: How to meaningfully engage people with lived experience at the systems level?
- Public speaking: What are the promising practices to create training for PWLE to share their story?
- Training: What currently exists for peer support training; what are the gaps and barriers in training?
As part of this work, the project mapped where providers across the province are implementing peer support programs.
*The Best Practices in Peer Support (BPPS) project is one of the 12 Ontario Drug Treatment Funding Programs, funded by Health Canada as part of the Treatment Action Plan under the Federal National Anti-Drug Strategy (2007).
Withdrawal Management Services
The Ontario Withdrawal Management Standards (2014) set out minimum standards of professional and clinical practice to guide the operation of Withdrawal Management Services in the Province of Ontario. They were developed in consultation with the withdrawal management services sector, and build on previous versions of the standards.
There are five categories of standards:
- Administrative standards
- Program standards
- Client care standards
- Education standards
- Physical structure standards
Vocational and Educational Services
Employment and education are important factors that influence recovery for people with mental health and addiction issues. Research has shown when people obtain education and employment, they have an improved quality of life with a reduction in mental health and addiction symptoms and hospitalizations.
This report explores almost 40 vocational and educational offerings across Ontario.
Effective Voice
For too long, mental health and addiction have been treated as secondary to physical health. Working with our partners and our members, AMHO raises our voice about the need to reduce stigma and invest in better mental health and addiction care. Scroll down to learn about how we are increasing the profile of mental health and addiction:
Where Change Happens
Our members know a thing or two about change. Addictions and Mental Health Ontario represents the organizations that provide front line care in our communities.
These services save lives and help people live a better quality of life. We must redress the historical funding inequalities that have made it challenging for people and families to access help for addiction and mental health problems.
The following outlines AMHO's four priorities to improve Ontario's community mental health and addiction sector, and make change happen:
1. Improve access to services by keeping good people.
2. Plan better services by collecting better data.
3. Help more people by hiring more people.
4. Enable more recovery by building more safe places.
Pre-Budget Submissions
Pre-budget consultations are an important opportunity for AMHO to share our members expertise and provide recommendations to the government about how to build a more comprehensive and accessible system for addiction and mental health.
Federal Pre-Budget Submisson 2018
AMHO urges the federal government to be a strong partner in addiction and mental health
This year's federal pre-budget consultation asked Canadians to share their recommendations on how to build more productive workplaces and communities. AMHO and our 220+ members see firsthand the impact of mental illness and addiction on productivity and the health of our communities. Each week, 500,000 Canadians will miss work due to a mental health or addiction issue, and the Conference Board of Canada has estimated that untreated mental illness and addiction costs the Canadian economy upwards of $50 billion a year.
AMHO asked the federal government to be a strong partner in mental health and addiction, and offered the following four recommendations (full submission available here):
- Invest in our communities;
- Partner with Indigenous Communities on mental health and addiction;
- Prevent the opioid crisis from continuing to worsen in Ontario; and,
- Target investments from the National Housing Fund into supportive housing for those with mental health and addiction issues.
The Health Accord investments in mental health and addiction are a welcome start. But Ontario currently spends only 6.8% of our healthcare budget on addiction and mental health. Other jurisdictions invest at least 9 to 10%, and the UK 13%. The Mental Health Commission of Canada recommends increasing investments to a minimum of 9%. In Ontario, at current health spending levels, the health transfer in year 5 will bring mental health and addiction spending up to 7.3% of the total health budget – an improvement, but we still have a long way to go.
Ontario Pre-Budget Submission 2017
AMHO calls on Ontario to make addiction and mental health care a priority
AMHO's 2017-2018 pre-budget recommendations are directed towards making it easier for Ontarians to access comprehensive addiction and mental health care by investing in community-based services and supports.
We recommend that the Government of Ontario:
- "Keep the lights" on for community mental health & addiction organizations to ensure current service levels can be sustained
- Provide a 3 per cent base budget funding increase for the community mental health and addiction sector, who have not had increases to their operational budgets in five to ten plus years.
Investment for 2016/2017: $30 million
- Provide a 3 per cent base budget funding increase for the community mental health and addiction sector, who have not had increases to their operational budgets in five to ten plus years.
- Ensure the response to the opioid crisis focuses not only on saving lives, but on ensuring people have access to comprehensive community-based treatment and the opportunity to rebuild their life.
Investment for 2016/2017: $3 million per year
- Invest in a more comprehensive and accessible mental health and addiction system by implementing the recommendations of the Mental Health and Addiction Leadership Advisory Council, including:
- Core services: Work towards ensuring that all Ontarians, regardless of where they live, have access to the same core mental health and addiction services.
- Supportive housing: Provide greater access to supportive housing to help people in their recovery by funding the implementation of the Supportive Housing Strategy developed by the Council, which calls for the creation of a minimum of 30,000 units with supports over the next ten years, and is essential for the province to deliver on the strategy to end homelessness.
Investment for 2016/2017: $278 million
- Youth: Address the critical service gaps for mental health and addiction services for youth by increasing investments in additional staff and capacity.
- Psychotherapy: Improve access to psychotherapy by funding the training, hiring and competitive salaries of counsellors at community-based organizations
- Data and performance strategy: Support a comprehensive data and performance measurement strategy for the mental health and addiction sector, to identify health outcomes and measure the return on government investment
Investment for 2016/2017: $8 million
- Direct future tax revenue from the sale and distribution of cannabis to increase the capacity of addiction and mental health prevention and treatment.

Cannabis Legalization
With the upcoming legalization of cannabis, Canadian governments have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to place public health at the center of cannabis policy. Governments also have access to a body of evidence that demonstrates how this can be achieved.
AMHO's main message to government is straightforward: use evidence to address the demonstrated harms associated with cannabis use, including cannabis dependence.
Whether legalization will lead to increased cannabis use or dependence is unclear, and will need to be evaluated. But cannabis is already the presenting drug dependence issue for about one-third of the cases that are reported by Ontario's specialized addiction treatment services. Ontarians seeking help for substances through publicly-funded programs are looking at wait times of months to years to access treatment.
That's why AMHO recommends that the government both invest upfront as well as earmark future revenues to be invested in greater capacity for addiction and mental health services, in addition to public education and prevention.
Opioid Crisis
Ontario's response to the opioid crisis needs to focus not only on keeping people alive, but on enhancing supports and services to assist people in their recovery.
This is the central message in the joint response to Ontario's Strategy to Prevent Opioid Addiction and Overdose delivered by Addictions and Mental Health Ontario (AMHO) and the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA).
The evidence shows that accessing services and supports in the community increases recovery rates for people seeking treatment for opioid use. Our response provides feedback on implementation of the strategy, and delivers recommendations for how the province can ensure people have access to the services and supports they need to recover.
Health Minister Dr. Eric Hoskins announcing $222 million over three years to support people impacted by the opioid crisis
System Sustainability
It's important that the work AMHO and our members do is sustainable so we can ensure high quality and accessible services now and in the future.
Sector Compensation
In early 2017, AMHO and our partners at Children's Mental Health Ontario (CMHO), Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario (CMHA Ontario) and Family Services Ontario (FSO) undertook a survey of community mental health and addiction compensation practices. The survey looked at four areas of interest:
- Compensation
- Human resource policy practices
- Vacation
- Benefits availability and cost sharing formulae
The survey was completed by 203 organizations. Reports for all organizations, for AMHO member organizations and by LHIN are available. Organizations who completed the survey were provided access to the reports. If you did not complete the survey, but are interested in purchasing the reports, please e-mail email@example.com
AMHO is delighted to be a partner in an exciting, multi-year leadership initiative that will transform the leadership landscape in community and primary health care.
LeaderShift will give our current and emerging leaders the opportunity to develop their skills, advance their careers, and join a network of their peers from team and community-based primary care, home and community support services, and community mental health and addictions. Project funding is provided by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The Project partners are:
- Addictions and Mental Health Ontario (AMHO)
- Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario (AFHTO)
- Association of Ontario Health Centres (AOHC)
- Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario (CMHA Ontario)
- Ontario Community Support Association (OCSA)
The centrepiece of this initiative is the LEADS Learning Series—Canada's gold standard in health leadership development. Over the next two years, LeaderShift will deliver 22 cohorts of the LEADS Learning Series across Ontario and will also build and strengthen leadership through e-learning, a leadership conference, and more.
Privacy Toolkit
Community Mental Health and Addictions Privacy Toolkit: A Guide to Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act
The privacy toolkit was developed to support community-based mental health and addiction service providers in meeting the requirements of the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA), which came into effect on November 1, 2004.
The 2017 Toolkit amendments presented in the toolkit were authored at the invitation of CMHA Ontario by Mary Jane Dykeman (DDO Health Law), with Anna Tersigni Phelan (CMHA Waterloo Wellington).
This Toolkit was first published in September 2005. Its principal author was Mary Jane Dykeman, consultant to CMHA Ontario, in association with then CMHA Ontario staff, Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care staff and an advisory group of community mental health and addictions representatives, who are listed in the report.
As well as explaining the new legislation, the toolkit provides templates which allow service providers to meet the requirements it sets out. There are also scenario-based question-and-answer sections which help illustrate how the legislation applies to our specific sector. The information is presented in a clear, user-friendly format, and we hope that it conveys a complete picture of how PHIPA will impact the work of community-based mental health and addiction service providers.
The toolkit was funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to address a need identified by community-based mental health and addiction service providers.
