The concentration in Alicante called by irrigators and farmers in favor of the maintenance of the Tajo-Segura transfer has brought together this Tuesday in the Plaça de la Muntanyeta representatives of all parties, who have raised their demands to the Government on infrastructure. From the Generalitat, the Executive has been demanded to reconsider its position, considering that there is "margin for negotiation" in an infrastructure that they will defend "tooth and nail".
Thus, the Minister of Agriculture, Mirella Mollà (Commitment), has asked to "reconsider" its position to cut the flow, as it considers that there is "room for negotiation", the PSPV-PSOE has called for a "common front" before a infrastructure that he reiterates is "indispensable" and will defend with "nails and teeth".
From the PP, the president of the Diputación de Alicante and the PPCV, Carlos Mazón, who has demanded dialogue with the central Executive, have participated in the protest; the president of the Region of Murcia, Fernando López Miras, who has called for a new Hydrographic Plan for the Tagus with "technical" criteria and the delegate of the Junta de Andalucía in Almería, Aranzazu Martín, who considers that more is being done with questions "ideological" than with "scientific."
Mollà has recognized the work of farmers and irrigators in the face of a "fair claim" like this and has emphasized that the Consell del Botànic has the "technical guarantee" and "the reason" to ask the Government to "reconsider" its position.
"We know that there must be ecological flows, we are not like other governments that have been irresponsible and that have ended with sentences for not being able to be brave. We want ecological flows and we know that we are right, together with the irrigators, to ask for those 6 m3 per second that would make the Tagus guaranteed", Mollà explained in attention to the media.
In his opinion, "there is still room for negotiation" for which he has demanded that the Government "understand that two years ago these farmers and these irrigators supplied the mouths of all houses and families in a global pandemic." In addition to the Minister of Agriculture, on behalf of Compromís, the deputy trustee in the Valencian Courts, Aitana Mas; the mayors of Crevillent, José Manuel Penalva; that of Daya Vieja, José Vicente Fernández or the spokesman at the Alicante City Council, Natxo Bellido.
The new minister of Innovation and Universities and former socialist senator, Josefina Bueno, has reiterated that the transfer "is inalienable" and "there is no alternative". «We will defend it as it should, with politics and trying to reach agreements. Our decision will go to the last consequences », she has settled. Along the same lines, the president of the PSPV and next trustee in the regional parliament, Ana Barceló, has shown her commitment to dialogue, has called for "a common front" to defend the Tagus-Segura, a claim that they will take to the regional chamber «to unanimously support the province of Alicante and its irrigators».
"We demand that the Government reconsider its position and maintain the current conditions of the transfer." In addition, he has reiterated that "we will defend this issue tooth and nail, which is vital for the southern regions of Alicante, especially those of Vega Baja, l'Alacantí and Vinalopó."
For his part, Carlos Mazón has advocated for "an agreement, based on firm dialogue between the Government of Spain and the autonomous communities to solve the water problem," he told the media. "We join seamlessly and as a single party to the irrigators and farmers and to the needs of the province of Alicante and the region of Murcia and Almería," he said.
Mazón has stressed that it is not "a concentration against anyone. It is not against our irrigation brothers and farmers from Castilla-La Mancha, we also defend them from deception, demagoguery and the division between Spaniards that the socialist government of Sánchez is promoting.
«In Spain there is water for everyone and we don't have to depend on it to rain so that we can all irrigate our fields. Solidarity is for everyone and always goes in two directions », he defended. In this sense, he has demanded the convening of a negotiation table "because this water war that the PSOE is generating has to be fixed. It cannot be solved with lies, demagoguery or electoral calculations. I ask for dialogue based on solidarity between all the regions of Spain because water belongs to everyone.
Lastly, he urged Puig to be "courageous and come here to defend the water that his land deserves and, if necessary, confront his own party, President Sánchez, make him see reason, because it is not enough with declarations and half measures".
For his part, the president of the Region of Murcia, Fernando López Miras, has urged the central government to annul the Tagus Hydrological Plan and to prepare a new one based on "technical criteria" because "we are talking about the future of Levante" and the transfer al Segura is a "viable" infrastructure.
«We were in Madrid, we were in Murcia and we are also in Alicante. We are always going to be with the farmers, with the irrigators and with the Spanish Levante because today we are playing a lot, a lot", said the Murcian leader.
For his part, Aranzazu Martín has expressed his support «for Almeria's agriculture. We not only support the Spanish southeast but also our Levante Almeria, where we are risking the water of more than 130,000 citizens and more than 20,000 hectares of crop irrigation", he assured and affirmed that the decisions that the Ministry is adopting in relation to Tajo-Segura transfer «are based more on ideological questions than on scientific questions».
From Ciudadanoss, the trustee Ruth Merino has criticized that "«PP and PSOE have brought us here, they have governed for decades and have never done anything to solve the problem of the transfer, which has been dragging on for too long and, at the moment of truth , they have left the primary sector of the province stranded". Merino has asked for "high-mindedness to address a very serious problem" and has insisted on launching a national water pact with the consensus of all the agents involved, political parties and autonomous communities to guarantee the supply of water resources to all territories.
After the success of 17M, ASAJA Alicante and the rest of the convening entities are already working on new mobilizations and actions to guarantee that Levante continues to receive water to continue contributing more than 3,000 million to the national GDP each year and feed tens of thousands of families.

After roles as detective, jailor, deputy, man retires from 30-year career
Published 11:52 am Tuesday, May 6, 2014
In just his second week of retirement, former detective supervisor Chuck Malepsy says he won't be unemployed for very long.
"I have no intention of being the stereotypical 'do-nothing' retiree," said Malepsy. He plans on looking for a new full-time job as soon as next week.
Malepsy on April 25 finished a career spanning more than 30 years with the Freeborn County Sheriff's Office. He was a jailor and a patrol deputy before becoming a detective about 15 years ago.
Malepsy was born and raised in Albert Lea. A 1979 Albert Lea High School graduate, he spent one year at Bemidji State University before graduating from Alexandria Technical and Community College with a law enforcement degree in 1982.
He knew for a long time that he wanted to go into law enforcement. Malepsy had an uncle with the Albert Lea Police Department and was involved with public service organizations throughout his childhood, through his church and through Boy Scouts.
"I've always enjoyed being with people and helping people," he said.
What will he miss most about his time with Freeborn County? The people, whether they were the ones he worked alongside in the Sheriff's Office or the ones he came into contact with through the job.
"I like dealing with good people, good residents … being out and about, seeing people you don't get to see very often," said Malepsy.
What Malepsy won't miss about working in law enforcement is the all-too-often tragic side.
"I've seen too many people die, too many get hurt," he said.
Malepsy said he had three main goals for his career: To stay with Freeborn County, to reach both 50 years of age and to have 30 years of service while on the job. He's done all three.
Malepsy, 53, lives in Albert Lea with his wife, Jo Ann, and their dogs, Dakota and Trigger. The couple has been married 30 years and have known each other for over 40 years. Malepsy said they met while in junior high school. He said his wife is happy he's retiring and won't be bringing the heavier side of his work home with him anymore, but is a bit apprehensive and hopes he'll find something he'll like to fill his time with sooner rather than later.
Malepsy said that he had been talking about retiring for the past year, and that when he started planning it the Sheriff's Office wasn't in the quandary he said it's in now.
Since his last day of work, Malepsy said the outpouring of support has been great. His co-workers celebrated with him on his last day of work and Malepsy invited friends, family and the community to celebrate with him this past weekend.
"Being around good people and friends, it's phenomenal," he said.
Malepsy's friend and former co-worker, Freeborn County Sheriff Bob Kindler, agrees.
Chuck "was very easy to work with… we were good friends right away," said Kindler. "We never said a mean word to each other."
Kindler joined the Sheriff's Office in 1987 and worked with and alongside Malepsy both on patrols and during investigations over the years.
When asked if they'll keep in touch now that Malepsy's retired from law enforcement, Kindler said, "I certainly hope so."
Malepsy said he's certainly going to miss the interactions that came with the job.
"I really appreciate the people of Freeborn County that worked with me and the public that helped," he said.
Chuck Malepsy
Age: 53
Address: 1820 Brookside Circle in Albert Lea
Livelihood: recently retired, former detective supervisor, patrol deputy and jailor with the Freeborn County Sheriff's Office
Family: wife, Jo Ann; son, Tony, a police officer in Lonsdale; daughter, Jessica, a graduate student in Vermillion, S.D.
Interesting fact: He and his wife have two dogs named Dakota and Trigger. He hunts and fishes in his spare time.

If you have a certain kind of cancer, your doctor may recommend treatment with Lynparza. It's a prescription drug used in adults to treat certain kinds of:
For more information on how Lynparza is used to treat these conditions, see "Is Lynparza used for prostate cancer?" and "Is Lynparza used for other conditions?" below.
Lynparza basics
Lynparza comes as a tablet you swallow and contains the active ingredient olaparib. (The active ingredient is what makes a drug work.) It belongs to a group of drugs called poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors.
Olaparib is a kind of biologic drug. A biologic is made from parts of living organisms. Lynparza is not available in a biosimilar form. (Biosimilars are like generic drugs. But unlike generics, which are made for nonbiologic drugs, biosimilars are made for biologic drugs.) So olaparib is available only as the brand-name drug Lynparza.
Keep reading to learn more about Lynparza, including its side effects, uses for prostate cancer and other conditions, cost, and more.
Like most drugs, Lynparza may cause mild to serious side effects. While the lists below describe some of the more common ones, they do not include all possible side effects.
Keep in mind that side effects of a drug can depend on:
- your age
- other health conditions you have
- other medications you take
Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you more about the potential side effects of Lynparza. They can also suggest ways to help reduce them.
Mild side effects
Below are some of the mild side effects Lynparza can cause. To learn about other mild side effects, talk with your doctor or pharmacist, or read the drug's prescribing information.
Keep in mind that side effects can vary slightly depending on whether you're taking Lynparza by itself or with other anticancer drugs.
Mild side effects of Lynparza that have been reported include:
- altered taste in your mouth
- constipation
- cough
- decreased appetite
- diarrhea
- dizziness
- fatigue (low energy)
- headache
- loss of appetite
- nausea and vomiting
- rash
- respiratory tract infection, such as the common cold or the flu
- shortness of breath
- upset stomach
- weakness
Mild side effects of many drugs may go away within a few days to a couple of weeks. But if they don't or if they are bothersome, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
Serious side effects
Serious side effects from Lynparza can occur, but they aren't common. If you have serious side effects from Lynparza, call your doctor right away. But if you think you're having a medical emergency, immediately call 911 or your local emergency number.
Serious side effects of Lynparza that have been reported include:
- blood cell problems, including:
- low lymphocyte count
- blood clots
- high blood pressure
- inflammation in your lungs
- pneumonia
- severe blood disorders, including:
- allergic reaction (see the "Allergic reaction" section just below for more information)
Allergic reactionSome people may have an allergic reaction to Lynparza, but this was rare in the drug's studies.
Symptoms of a mild allergic reaction can include:
A more severe allergic reaction is rare but possible. Symptoms of a severe allergic reaction can include:
- swelling under your skin, usually in your eyelids, lips, hands, or feet
- swelling of your tongue, mouth, or throat, which can cause trouble breathing
Call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction to Lynparza. But if you think you're having a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Lynparza is used to treat certain kinds of prostate cancer in adults.
Specifically, Lynparza is prescribed for prostate cancer that has the following characteristics:
- It's metastatic, which means the cancer has spread beyond the prostate to other parts of your body.
- It's castration-resistant, which means that drugs to reduce testosterone or surgery to remove your testicles hasn't worked to treat the cancer.
- It has abnormal genes called homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes.
- It has stopped responding to or worsened after treatment with either:
- enzalutamide (Xtandi)
- abiraterone (Yonsa, Zytiga)
Before prescribing Lynparza, your doctor will order a test to determine if your prostate cancer has abnormal HRR genes.
Lynparza treats metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with abnormal HRR genes. It does this by blocking the action of specific enzymes (proteins that speed up reactions in your body). Blocking these enzymes damages cancer cells, causing them to die.
In addition to treating prostate cancer, Lynparza is also used to treat certain other conditions in adults. Lynparza treats the following cancers by blocking the action of specific enzymes (proteins that speed up reactions in your body). Blocking these enzymes damages cancer cells, causing them to die.
Lynparza for ovarian cancer
Lynparza is used to treat advanced ovarian cancer that is (or is thought to be) BRCA-positive* in adults when the cancer:
- has been treated with three or more chemotherapy drugs (traditional drugs used to treat cancer), or
- is also homologous recombination deficiency-positive (HRD-positive)
HRD-positive refers to a specific kind of cancer caused by an abnormal BRCA gene. For this purpose, Lynparza is used as ongoing treatment along with bevacizumab (Avastin) after your cancer has improved following treatment with first-line chemotherapy made from platinum. ("First-line" means it's the preferred first treatment for certain conditions.)
It's also used as maintenance (ongoing) therapy for the following:
- Cancer that's improved following treatment with first-line chemotherapy made from platinum.
- Recurrent ovarian cancer that has completely or partially responded to chemotherapy made from platinum. ("Recurrent" means the cancer has returned after it's been treated.)
Before prescribing Lynparza, your doctor will order a test to determine if your ovarian cancer has an abnormal BRCA gene that may respond to Lynparza.
* This means the cancer has an abnormal change in the BRCA gene.
Lynparza for breast cancer
Lynparza is used in adults to treat breast cancer with the following characteristics:
- it's metastatic, and
- it's HER2-negative, and
- it's BRCA-positive (or thought to be BRCA-positive), and
- it has been treated with chemotherapy in the past
Before prescribing Lynparza, your doctor will order a test to determine if your breast cancer has these characteristics and might respond to this treatment.
If your breast cancer is hormone receptor-positive, you should receive endocrine (hormone) therapy before you start Lynparza. (Unless your doctor determines this kind of therapy isn't appropriate for your cancer.)
Lynparza for pancreatic cancer
Lynparza is used in adults to treat pancreatic cancer that:
- is metastatic (has spread beyond your pancreas)
- is BRCA-positive (or thought to be BRCA-positive)
- hasn't gotten worse after being treated for at least 16 weeks with first-line chemotherapy made from platinum
For this use, Lynparza is given as maintenance (ongoing) therapy. Before prescribing this drug, your doctor will order a test to determine if your pancreatic cancer has the characteristics listed above and might respond to Lynparza treatment.
Below are answers to some commonly asked questions about Lynparza.
Does Lynparza cause weight gain, hair loss, or bloating?
Weight gain wasn't a side effect reported in Lynparza's studies.
Bloating was a side effect reported in these studies among people who took Lynparza to treat ovarian cancer.
Hair loss wasn't a side effect originally reported in Lynparza's studies. But since the drug was approved for use, it has been reported by people taking Lynparza for breast cancer.
If you notice symptoms of bloating or hair loss while taking Lynparza, let your doctor know. They may be able to recommend a treatment for the side effect.
Should I avoid sun exposure while taking Lynparza?
Lynparza isn't known to cause photosensitivity (extreme sensitivity to sunlight). This wasn't reported in the drug's studies. But other medications used to treat cancer, including some chemotherapy drugs (traditional drugs used to treat cancer), can cause sun sensitivity as a side effect.
Keep in mind that Lynparza is sometimes used with chemotherapy drugs. It's also prescribed in some cases after your cancer has been treated with chemotherapy. So it's possible that chemotherapy you receive or have received could cause sensitivity to sunlight.
Your doctor can tell you more about whether you should avoid sun exposure based on other drugs you may take for cancer.
Are there long-term side effects of Lynparza?
It's possible for Lynparza to cause long-term side effects. These are side effects that last a long time, or those that can start after taking Lynparza for a long time.
Long-term side effects possible with Lynparza include:
- severe blood disorders, including:
- blood clots
- pneumonitis (inflammation in your lungs), which can cause permanent scarring
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you'd like to learn more about long-term side effects and Lynparza.
How does Lynparza work? Is it a chemotherapy drug?
No, Lynparza isn't a chemotherapy drug. It's a kind of poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor.
Lynparza's mechanism of action (how the drug works) to treat certain cancers is to block the action of specific enzymes. (Enzymes are proteins that speed up reactions in your body.) Blocking these enzymes damages cancer cells, causing them to die.
What was Lynparza's effectiveness for treating cancer in clinical trials?
To view Lynparza's effectiveness for treating cancer in studies, check out the drug's full prescribing information. You can also view this page from Lynparza's manufacturer about the drug's effectiveness for treating ovarian and breast cancer.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you still have questions.
Will my doctor check my CA-125 level during Lynparza treatment?
Maybe. It depends on the kind of cancer you're taking Lynparza to treat.
Doctors sometimes order a blood test called CA-125 for people with certain kinds of ovarian cancer. CA-125 is a protein made by and found on ovarian cancer cells. This blood test may be used to monitor ovarian cancer during and after treatment.
Keep in mind that other causes besides cancer can create a high CA-125 level, including menstruation or pelvic inflammatory disease.
Your doctor can tell you more about blood tests they'll order while you're taking Lynparza, including whether they'll test your CA-125 level.
Costs of prescription drugs can vary depending on factors such as what your insurance plan covers and which pharmacy you use. So the annual cost of Lynparza may vary.
If you have questions about how to pay for your prescription, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. You can also visit the Lynparza manufacturer's website to see if it has support options. You can also check out this article to learn more about saving money on prescriptions.
Your doctor will recommend the dosage of Lynparza that's right for you. Below are commonly used dosages, but always take the dosage your doctor prescribes.
Form and strengths
Lynparza comes as a tablet you swallow. It's available in two strengths:
- 100 milligrams (mg)
- 150 mg
Recommended dosage
You'll take Lynparza twice per day.
Questions about Lynparza's dosage
Below are some common questions about Lynparza's dosage.
- What if I miss a dose of Lynparza? If you miss a dose of Lynparza, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take more than one Lynparza dose at once.
- Will I need to take Lynparza long term? You'll likely take Lynparza long term if you and your doctor agree the drug is safe and working for you.
- How long does Lynparza take to work? Lynparza begins working as soon as you take a dose, but you won't "feel" it working. Your doctor can tell you more about how they'll monitor your cancer to determine if this drug is treating it successfully.
Lynparza and Zejula are both poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors used to treat certain kinds of ovarian cancer. Lynparza is also used to treat other kinds of breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancer.
Both Lynparza and Zejula come as pills you swallow. These two drugs can cause many of the same side effects, but some different ones as well.
To learn more about these medications, check out this side-by-side comparison. You can talk with your doctor to determine if Lynparza or Zejula is right for you.
Lynparza and Rubraca are both poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors used to treat certain kinds of ovarian and prostate cancer. Lynparza is also used to treat other kinds of breast and pancreatic cancer.
Both Lynparza and Rubraca come as tablets you swallow. They can cause many of the same side effects, but some different ones as well.
If you'd like to know more about the similarities and differences between Lynparza and Rubraca, see this article. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment option for your condition.
There are important things you should discuss with your doctor before you start treatment with Lynparza. Be sure to tell them about your overall health, any medical conditions you may have, and all the medications you take.
Taking a drug with certain vaccines, foods, and other things can affect how the drug works. These effects are called interactions.
Before taking Lynparza, talk with your doctor about all the medications you take, including prescription and over-the-counter kinds. You should also describe any vitamins, herbs, or supplements you use. Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you about any interactions these items may cause with Lynparza.
For information about drug-condition interactions, see the "Warnings" section below.
Interactions with drugs or supplements
Several kinds of drugs can interact with Lynparza and affect the level of it in your body. This can increase your risk of side effects or cause Lynparza to not work. Due to these interactions, doctors usually will not prescribe Lynparza with the following:
- certain antifungal drugs, including:
- fluconazole (Diflucan)
- certain HIV drugs, including:
- lopinavir/ritonavir
- saquinavir
- certain antibiotics, including clarithromycin
- certain drugs for epilepsy, including:
- the herbal supplement St. John's wort
This list does not contain all kinds of drugs that may interact with Lynparza. Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you more about these interactions and any others that may occur with Lynparza.
Other interactions
It's recommended that you do not eat grapefruit or Seville oranges, or drink juice from either of these fruits, while taking Lynparza. Doing so can increase your risk of side effects.
Lynparza may not be right for you if you have certain medical conditions. These are known as drug-condition interactions. Other factors may also affect whether Lynparza is a good treatment option for your condition. Talk with your doctor about your health history before taking this drug. Factors to consider include those shown below.
- Kidney problems. Be sure to talk with your doctor if you have kidney problems, such as chronic kidney disease, before starting Lynparza. You may need to take a lower dose of the drug. But if your kidney problems are severe or you have end stage renal disease, your doctor will likely recommend a different treatment than Lynparza.
- Lung or breathing problems. Lynparza can cause side effects that affect your lungs, including shortness of breath or pneumonitis (inflammation in your lungs). If you have lung or breathing problems, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), you may be at an increased risk of these side effects. And these could then worsen your breathing symptoms. Your doctor can help determine whether Lynparza is safe for you.
- Allergic reaction. If you've had an allergic reaction to Lynparza or any of its ingredients, your doctor will likely not prescribe it for you. Ask them about other treatments that might be better options.
Lynparza and alcohol
There are no known interactions between taking Lynparza and consuming alcohol. But drinking alcohol can cause many of the same side effects as Lynparza. Taking them together can increase your risk of diarrhea, fatigue (low energy), and nausea and vomiting.
If you drink alcohol, talk with your doctor about how much, if any, is safe to consume during Lynparza treatment.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Your doctor will likely recommend that you do not take Lynparza while pregnant. They can recommend other treatment options for your condition instead.
If you can become pregnant, your doctor may order a pregnancy test to check that it's negative before prescribing Lynparza for you. They'll also likely recommend that you use effective birth control while taking the drug and for at least 6 months after your last dose.
It's not known whether Lynparza is present in breast milk. But due to the risk of serious side effects in a child who is breastfed, it's recommended you do not breastfeed during treatment. You should also wait for at least 1 month after your last dose of Lynparza to start breastfeeding.
Your doctor will explain how you should take Lynparza as well as how much to take and how often. Be sure to follow their instructions.
Taking Lynparza
Lynparza comes as a tablet you swallow.
Accessible medication containers and labels
If it's hard for you to read the label on your prescription, tell your doctor or pharmacist. Certain pharmacies provide medication labels that:
- have large print
- use braille
- contain a code you can scan with a smartphone to change the text to audio
Your doctor or pharmacist may be able to recommend a pharmacy that offers these options if your current pharmacy doesn't.
Also, if you're having trouble opening your medication bottles, let your pharmacist know. They may be able to put Lynparza in an easy-open container. Or they may be able to recommend tools or tips to help make it simpler to open the drug's container.
Taking Lynparza with other drugs
Lynparza may be used alone or together with other anticancer drugs. This will depend on the kind of cancer you're taking Lynparza to treat. Your doctor will tell you more about your specific treatment plan, including whether you'll take other anticancer medications with Lynparza or not.
Questions about taking Lynparza
Below are some common questions about taking Lynparza.
- Can Lynparza be chewed, crushed, or split? Lynparza tablets should be swallowed whole. You should not chew, crush, or split them. Check out this article if you have trouble swallowing pills. You can also talk with your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
- Should I take Lynparza with food? You can take the drug with or without food. But it's not recommended that you take it with grapefruit or Seville oranges (or juice from either of these fruits). Doing so can increase your risk of side effects.
Questions for your doctorYou may have questions about Lynparza and your treatment plan. It's important to discuss all your concerns with your doctor.
Here are a few tips that might help guide your discussion:
- Before your appointment, write down questions such as:
- How will Lynparza affect my body, mood, or lifestyle?
- Bring someone with you to your appointment if it will help you feel more comfortable.
- If you don't understand something related to your condition or treatment, ask your doctor to explain it to you.
Remember, your doctor and other healthcare professionals are available to help you. And they want you to get the best care possible. So don't be afraid to ask questions or offer feedback on your treatment.
Do not take more Lynparza than your doctor prescribes, as this can lead to serious side effects.
What to do in case you take too much Lynparza
Call your doctor if you think you've taken too much Lynparza. You can also call 800-222-1222 to reach the American Association of Poison Control Centers or use its online resource. But if you have severe symptoms, immediately call 911 or your local emergency number. Or go to the nearest emergency room.
Before starting Lynparza, talk with your doctor. Ask questions that help you feel comfortable about the risks and benefits of this treatment. Some examples to help you get started are:
- What should I know about other treatments for my condition besides Lynparza?
- How will I know if the treatment is working for me?
- Do any of the conditions I have or medications I take put me at an increased risk of side effects from Lynparza?
- Will I have withdrawal symptoms if I stop taking this drug?
You can also learn more about treatments for:
If I have side effects from taking Lynparza, is there a lower dose I can try?
Yes, there are lower doses of Lynparza your doctor may prescribe if you have side effects while taking it.
The recommended dosage of this drug is 300 milligrams (mg) twice per day. This is the same regardless of the kind of cancer you're taking Lynparza to treat. If you have bothersome side effects, your doctor may lower your dosage to 250 mg twice per day. And they can lower it again, to 200 mg twice per day, if your side effects are still too bothersome.
If you have serious side effects from Lynparza, your doctor may have you stop taking it instead of lowering your dose. If this happens, they can discuss other treatment options with you. You should always talk with your doctor before changing your dose and take the dosage they recommend for you.

Mortgage bonds are in weaker territory today, despite a stronger morning. Durable goods orders came in higher than the expected, jumping 2.8 percent in January. CPI data came in poor, falling 0.7 percent last month and marking the biggest slip since December of 2008. Jobless claims came back heavier than predicted, hitting 313,000 and well above the predicted 290,000. More market movement could come today with treasury auctions, but for now watch for rising mortgage interest rates.

American Fast Food Restaurants in Paris, France! Americans are known for their love of American fast food. American restaurants are some of the most popular in Paris, France.
While you might think that American fast food would not be so popular overseas, it's a staple among many locals.
Here is a list of American restaurants in Paris, France, that serve everything from burgers to fries and shakes.
Why Have American Chains Entered the Parisian Market?
Parisians have a complex relationship with American fast food. On one hand, they see it as lower quality than traditional French fare. Conversely, American fast food represents convenience, consistency, and a casual dining experience.
Several factors have driven the growth of American fast food in Paris:
- Familiarity – American chains are well-known worldwide. Brands like McDonald's and KFC already have an established customer base.
- Convenience – American chains feature quick service and long hours. They serve busy professionals and students on the go.
- Consistency – The food offerings and dining experience remain consistent across locations. This reliability appeals to many consumers.
- Price – Fast food is inexpensive compared to sit-down French restaurants. Value pricing attracts budget-conscious diners.
- Tourists – American chains appeal to the palates of the tens of millions of tourists who visit Paris annually.
The Major American Players in Paris
Several American fast-food chains have become fixtures in the Parisian dining scene. Here are some of the major brands with a significant presence:
The original American fast food chain arrived in Paris in 1972. Today, there are over 60 McDonald's locations within the city limits. They offer standard burgers, fries, chicken sandwiches, and milkshakes. McDonald's is still the most recognizable American chain in Paris.
Specializing in fried chicken, KFC entered the French market in the 1980s. It now boasts nearly 50 restaurants in Paris proper. The chain's signature buckets of breaded chicken remain widely popular.
Arriving in 2001, Subway has grown steadily in France. The sandwich chain has over 40 Paris locations. Customers can get sandwiches and salads made to order with various toppings and sauces.
Burger King
Though not as ubiquitous as McDonald's, Burger King has advanced in Paris. The chain landed in the city in 1988 and now has over 20 restaurants. Signature Whopper burgers and fries are menu staples.
Known for coffee drinks, pastries, and sandwiches, Starbucks came to Paris in 2004. Almost 50 cafes now exist as popular spots for coffee breaks. Unique drinks and pumpkin spice lattes draw patrons.
How Have Parisians Responded?
The influx of American fast food over the past few decades has garnered mixed reactions from Parisians. Here are some common perspectives:
- Excitement – Many younger Parisians enthusiastically welcome the convenience and familiarity of American chains. They form long queues during new store openings.
- Acceptance – Most Parisians acknowledge that fast food satisfies a certain dining niche. Busy families and workers rely on the quick bites.
- Snobbery – Some view American chains as unsophisticated compared to Parisian bistros and brasseries. But even critics may sneak a fast food meal now and then.
- Pushback – A vocal contingent of Parisians laments the encroachment on traditional French cuisine. They say chains undermine the city's food heritage.
Overall, American fast food has cemented itself as a memorable part of the Paris food scene. Consumers can take their pick of both fast food convenience and haute French cuisine. The two will likely co-exist for the long haul.
Why are American restaurants so popular in Paris, France?
Here are a few theories: One theory is that French people find American culture and cuisine exciting, perhaps because it's different from what they typically eat on any given day (especially if their diet consists mainly of croissants).
Another thought could be that Americans have been immigrating to France for centuries now. Many locals may enjoy dining somewhere with an international flavour without having to leave home turf.
A third possible reason might be American culture: American restaurants are seen as a place to go for comfort. You are read; American Fast Food Restaurants In Paris France.
Despite Paris' stature in the culinary arts, American fast food has steadily increased its presence in the French capital over the past 50 years. Chains like McDonald's, KFC, and Starbucks offer familiarity, reliability, and value.
While some Parisians decry its lack of sophistication, fast food satisfies a market need for quick, inexpensive meals. American chains in Paris appear entrenched for the foreseeable future, complementing the city's classical French dining traditions.

Poverty is far reaching and multi-dimensional. What is often reported is the sad fact that children can go to school with empty bellies, making it harder for them to participate and concentrate on their studies. Here is a tale from two local schools, both of whom have pupils supported through food aid. The positive difference it makes is clear to see. The sad fact is that the situation appears to be worsening and more food aid will be required in the future.
Heather Rawden, the Bursar of Byfield school writes:
We would like to thank you for the support you are continuing to give our families at Byfield School with weekly breakfast/snack items. These items not only go to families who are in receipt of Pupil Premium Funding but others who are just struggling now. In total we have 15 families who we divide the items between, and then we keep a few items at school for the children who arrive having had no breakfast.
I can assure you the families are very grateful, and their faces light up when I arrive with bags. The items really make a big positive difference to them.
Sadly, I feel this support is needed more than ever now. Everything is increasing in price, and this will not change overnight.
Byfield School
Bell Lane, Byfield, Northants, NN11 6US
Debbie Allsopp- Clark comments:
The food deliveries have helped us to provide breakfasts in school for 15 children. We have been able to start up a breakfast club for the children of our pupil premium families. We have also been able to provide food parcels to 6 larger families. These are very gratefully received. We have several families who really struggle financially, and for those the food aid is vital. Sad though it is, its much needed.

The Foundation of Indian Contemporary Art (FICA) in collaboration with the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia is pleased to present an exhibition of works by Anupam Roy titled Broken Cogs in the Machine and is a culmination of Roy's journey with the FICA Emerging Artist Award, which he received in 2018. Supported by Vadehra Art Gallery, the exhibition will remain open for public viewing at their contemporary art gallery from 6 July – 5 August 2022.
Anupam Roy's art practice emerges from a continued engagement with grassroots politics that has led to the development of a vernacular vocabulary around modes of collaborative making, tools of resistance and a multitude of contexts around art and activism. Moving beyond conventional formats of display, his drawings and paintings are informed by a discursive, political witnessing and an awareness of the deep roots of systemic violence and injustice.
Through this exhibition, Anupam brings together an inventory of work encompassing a range of forms and explorations with media, looking at the historical constitution of the working class in the contemporary moment, its resident fragilities and its motile, migrant presence as a well-oiled cog across multiple terrains of functionality. It follows a concept of 'brokenness' that he believes addresses the experience of being part of a larger system while retaining a sense of individual agency and personhood. The cog, as it turns through systems, negotiates states of passivity and modes of organization that require it to occupy certain strategies and directions. With this line of thought, Roy uses the cog as a pivot to argue the nature of 'brokenness' as an engagement with the political subject(ivity) of change, and more importantly, as a method of developing a self-reflexive artistic practice.
Broken Cogs in the Machine speaks to Roy's conversations with and within the expanses of movements, forms of protest, socio-economic identities and the binaries of language; it zeroes in on an attempt to think about representation by addressing the impossibilities of the same. Who are we within the institution? How do we take shape? For him, this exhibition appears as a space of convening the various incapabilities of definition, differentiation and discourse, creating a stage to think of and encounter ways of being that meditate on what it means to break, resist, and remain broken.
Anupam Roy's practice reflects his experiences and observations in the hinterlands of rural Bengal where he currently lives and works, the urban landscapes of metropolitan Delhi, as well as in Central and North Eastern India where he has engaged in regional political inquiry. He studied contemporary art at Ambedkar University, Delhi and did his second MA in Fine Art from De Montfort University, Leicester, UK, supported by Charles Wallace Long term Scholarship. His works have been exhibited at several exhibitions including the 2018 Triennial: Songs for Sabotage, New Museum, New York, and he had his first institutional solo show at Project 88 in 2019. He is the recipient of the 2018 FICA Emerging Artist Award. Anupam has a parallel practice as a designer of political posters, signage, and graffiti. He has conducted numerous workshops on the design and conception of political posters with different radical political and activist groups all over India.a

Amazon upgraded its Fire TV voice search feature, recently adding phonetically blended results (PBR). Since AI voice recognition isn't perfect and doesn't account for accents as well as unintentionally pick up other sounds in the room, PBR helps eliminate repeated attempts to voice search for specific programs by offering up a list of related search results.
"Previously, Alexa was not tuned into individual Fire TV customers' preferences. That's the layer my team is adding. We are connecting Alexa machine learning with Fire TV search algorithms to build toward an end-to-end algorithm to help customers find what they're looking for," said Kanna Shimizu, Senior Manager of Research Science for Alexa AI's Natural Understanding Group. "Let's keep the door open to different interpretations of what the customer may have said, so they can decide for themselves on the search results screen."
Although Amazon Fire TV's PBR voice search probably will bring up a host of titles unrelated to your search, it is attempting to provide the series or movie you're actually searching for among the offerings.
As stated in an announcement yesterday by Amazon, "It works by harnessing a suite of Alexa machine learning (ML) models to generate additional, similar-sounding words to inject into Fire TV's search function to broaden the scope of the results presented to the customer… About 80 percent of the 20 million or so unique search terms that Fire TV deals with are augmented by PBR."
PBR works with Amazon Fire TV's ReRanker search algorithm, so searching for Encounter may bring up Enchanto as well. This is a slight improvement from previous versions of Amazon Fire TV voice controls, which would bring up one or the other and require users to repeat the process or resort to typing in their search.
Alexa and PBR algorithms work together to learn the viewing habits of subscribers to (hopefully) improve Amazon Fire TV's voice control features and get search results right the first time.

Mandeville, LA – Mike Church's daily Pile of Prep, chock full of the U.S. plan to bomb Syria even though The Constitution says he can't plus other [r]epublican stories used to perform the Mike Church Show on Sirius/XM Patriot channel 125.
Michael Scheuer: King Obama, Queen Clinton, court jesters McCain, Ayotte, Schumer, Graham et al are jonesing for way with Syria because the real target is Iran
Oh, look up in the sky! It's a bird, no it's a plane. No , it's a new U.S. Spy satellite! EXACTLY what our federal overlords need to keep increasingly hi-resolution tabs on all of us! And of course, NO ONE knows what the thing actually costs or actually does
There is and can be no "Liberal Internationalist" reason or case for attacking Syria. We are making up international laws as we go along and woe to us when the Pakistanis, Yemenis or Syrians try and play that games themselves over indiscriminate drone strikes that kill civilians and more.
"In other words, an attack [on Syria] would be an open declaration that the United States arrogates to itself the right to determine what the law is, who has violated it, what punishment they deserve, and to take whatever action is necessary to see it carried out. If that's liberal internationalism, then I'm a kumquat."
The Obama admin has been working tirelessly to attempt to HALT the UN inspections of the CW bombing sites…just like Bush did with WMD inspectors in Iraq
Congressman heeds citizen concerns AND the Constitution, sends letter to President Obama demanding he seek Congressional approval before carpet bombing Syria. Question: What will Rep. Rigell do if Obama acts WITHOUT said approval? I M P E A C H M E N T ?
The dissent against attacking Syria spreads to the National Review (shockuh!)
Rod Dreher says he is not planning to sacrifice his sons for Obama's trumped up "mission" in Syria
The map of Syria that shows the inconvenient truth of the matter: if there IS a civil war going on, the sheer volume of sectarian groups involved will defy andy Western effort to quell or end the acrimony
Our "wars of choice" are forced on us by an unnamed but very powerful elite that "pressure" the White House to act. Who is this WWE "Pressure Cooker" you speak of?
Senator Ted Cruz: There's nothing to be scared of from a government shutdown, no big bad liberal boogey-man lurking to wreak electoral havoc…
Viley Cyrus's lewdness, the Kardashian's venal obsessions, our über wealthy sporting-elites faking class and intellect all would look familiar to 4th century Romans, firmly ensconced in their decline into irrelevance
Good news: The British Parliament, sensing the DeceptiCONS are about to lead them to being embarrassed and chastened on war with Syria, BAIL OUT on backing Cameron's call for air strikes with the U.S.
Remember the good ole days when candidate Obama inveighed against former President Bush for waging war without Congressional declarations? We do but alas, apparently, Dear Leader has lost those brain cells. AND in 1998, Joey Biden said. "Given this, the only logical conclusion is that the framers intended to grant to Congress the power to initiate all hostilities, even limited wars."
False flags are flapping all about the Israeli "proof" that Syria's Assad used the chemical weapons the United States says it knows for certain (from Israel) they used

Trump Nominates Chatterjee, Powelson to FERC
President Trump on Monday made two nominations to fill vacancies at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which, if confirmed, would restore the agency's quorum and ability to take action. Neither nominee was a surprise. Both names had long circulated in Washington. The mystery was why it took so long—three months—for the administration to fill crucial infrastructure jobs at the obscure but powerful regulatory agency.
The Trump nominees are Neil Chatterjee, for a term ending June 30, 2021, and Robert Powelson, for a term that expires on June 30, 2020. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, the nominees will put FERC back into business. The agency, which has authority to approve natural gas pipelines and liquefied natural gas terminals, has been stymied since early in the Trump administration, when the White House demoted the chairman, Norman Bay, and named commissioner Cheryl LaFleur acting chairman. Bay resigned leaving FERC with two Democratic commissioners in place and no quorum.
Washington natural gas lobbying groups have been pressing the White House to fill vacancies at FERC. The American Petroleum Institute, the Independent Petroleum Association of America, and the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America have been pressing the Trump administration to get FERC up and running. "Shovel-ready, natural gas pipeline projects are stranded on the sidelines," Don Santa, president of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America, said in a statement. "To build this infrastructure, we need a functioning FERC."
Both Chatterjee and Powelson are Republicans, although they have very different backgrounds. Both are strong supporters of natural gas and siting natural gas pipelines to move gas to market. That's also the case with sitting FERC commissioners LaFleur and Colette Honorable.
Chatterjee, an Indian-American, has been Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) chief energy aide for several years. He was the key McConnell staffer on Republican plans to scuttle the Obama Clean Power Plant to reduce CO2 emission from coal-fired power plants. Before joining McConnell's staff, Chatterjee worked as a lobbyist for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. Chatterjee is a lawyer and began his career with the House Ways and Means Committee. He drives a hybrid gasoline-electric car.
Powelson, a Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission member since 2008 and currently president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, is a Republican energy regulator with a broad background and support from a wide group of energy interests. He has been appointed and reappointed by Democratic and Republican Keystone State governors. He also serves on the board of the Electric Power Research Institute and the Drexel University trustees. He has degrees in administration from St. Joseph's University and the University of Pennsylvania.
Neither nominee is likely to face serious opposition in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee or on the Senate floor. If confirmed, FERC will have two Democrats and two Republicans at the commission, which seldom has partisan disputes. One seat remains open, and another, Honorable's, becomes vacant June 30, as she has announced she is not seeking a second five-year term. By law, FERC consists of three members of the president's party and two from the minority party. That means the White House will be able to nominate another Republican and a Democrat when Honorable leaves the commission.

The Speaker said the activities of IPOB members in the southeast and secessionist agitators in the southwest region are not different from that of Boko Haram terrorists.
Gbajabiamila said this on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, in his speech on resumption of the House of Representatives from the 2021 annual legislative recess.
The lawmaker, who expressed deep concerns over the growing insecurity in the country said, the agitators now take lives and commmit economic sabotage against fellow Nigerians.
He said, "We must now add to these concerns an emerging threat that presents the same clear and present danger.
"In the South of Nigeria, East and West, miscreants and criminals masquerading as separationist activists have emerged to wreak havoc, take lives and commit economic sabotage against fellow Nigerians and against the state.
"These people, in their inclination for devastating violence against fellow citizens, their appetite for the destruction of private property, their disruption of academic activities, commerce, and industry, their propensity for defiling institutions of the state, society and community, their refusal to engage in debate, or to consider the possibility of dissenting opinions and alternative viewpoints, are no different from Boko Haram and ISWAP.
"Given space and time, they will take our nation down the same path of destruction.
"Thus far, we have rightly focused our national security concerns on the machinations of extremist insurgents who seek to remake our world in the image of their discredited theocracy and bandits who maraud and terrorise whole regions for profit.
We know from experience that neither appeasement nor overwhelming violence alone will work.
"We have been down this road before; we know what the consequences of inaction can be.
"We also know that we cannot afford to be reactionary in our approach.
He further said it is time for the government to convene its best "efforts to articulate a political, economic, military and policing strategy to address both the manifestations and root causes of this emerging threat".

The partial pressures of Te(,2)(g), PbTe(g) and SnTe(g) over the semiconducting solid solutions (Pb(,1-x)Sn(,x))(,1-x)Te(,y)(s) for x-values of 0.0, 0.13, 0.20, and 1.0 were measured for the Te-saturated and for the Pb-Sn-saturated conditions. They were also measured for x-values of 0.13 and 0.20 for known values of y falling within the solid solution homogeneity range. The experimental technique consists of measuring the optical absorbance between 230 and 760 nm of the vapor coexisting with a sample of the solid solution in a sealed optical cell of known volume and temperature. The samples were synthesized by reaction in the sealed cell of weighed amounts of the spectroscopically pure, vacuum melted elements. The measurements on the PbTe and SnTe binary solid solutions were repeated and extended over a wider temperature range. A more complete characterization of the PbTe and SnTe absorption spectra was obtained. These allowed the values of the enthalpy of fusion as well as the Gibbs energy of dissociation for PbTe and SnTe to be redetermined. Enthalpies of fusion of PbTe(s) and SnTe(s) were found to be 11.332 and 10.921 kcal/mole, respectively. These partial pressure data allow the calculation of the partial pressures of Pb(g) and Sn(g) as well as the Gibbs energies of formation of the solid solutions. Following statistical thermodynamic arguments, these quantities are independent of Te-to-metal ratio within the experimental error and the solid solution can be described as effectively being a binary solution containing two thermodynamic components, PbTe and SnTe, as is also true for all of the integral molar thermodynamic properties. In particular, the Gibbs-Duhem relation holds between (mu)(,PbTe) and (mu)(,SnTe) and the solid solution is nearly an ideal solution of the binary alloys. The equilibrium solidus and liquidus temperatures of five Te- rich ternary composition were obtained directly from the optical absorbance measurements. The measured values of y - 1/2 along the Te-saturated solidus line for x = 0.13 and 0.20 were compared with the measured Hall constants. Such a comparison comfirms that the vacancies in the metal-sublattice of these solid solutions are doubly-ionized; and gives values of Hall factor, r, as 0.845 for x = 0.13 and as 0.725 for x = 0.20.

Saudi Arabia: Ally or target?
Riyadh, Saudia Arabia – You won't find "Hatred's Kingdom: How Saudi Arabia Supports the New Global Terrorism" in any of the local bookshops, but the book is in such great demand by among high officials here that the government has brought out a reprint of its own.
The book by Dore Gold, Israel's former ambassador to the United Nations and a prominent right-wing government adviser, charges that this "hatred" is rooted in that austere brand of Islamic orthodoxy – Wahhabism – to which Saudi Arabia officially subscribes and which found its most horrific expression in the attacks of Sept. 11.
The book has fueled the current Arab obsession with trying to identify "who is next?" – which nation is the next candidate for "reform" or "regime change" now that the Bush administration has successfully disposed of Saddam Hussein.
Syria and Iran are, of course, often considered the most likely candidates. But increasingly, Saudis believe they have several reasons to be on the list, too. Oil, of course, is one suspected reason. Religiosity – those Christian fundamentalist tendencies within the administration for which Saudi Arabia is the most obvious Islamic antithesis – is another.
The latest terrorist attack, on the eve of Secretary of State Colin Powell's visit, adds to this sense of being a potential target for Washington.
But most important, Saudis think there is an Israeli component to the current tensions with the Bush administration. Many here believe that that a right-wing Israeli agenda has become America's agenda, too.
"As America's key ally in the region," said Prince Abdullah bin Faisal bin Turki, "we were the Israelis' only serious Arab competitor, on Palestine's behalf, for the ear of American administrations. (The attack on) 9/11 gave them the golden opportunity to portray us as the kernel of evil and font of terror."
Virtually everyone, both the rulers and the ruled, in this now viscerally anti-American country fear what America has in store for it. But the rulers' response to this fear was profoundly different from what most of the ruled would have liked: the government has sought to placate the superpower whose protection it is no longer confident of yet cannot risk forfeiting.
So while no combat aircraft took off from Saudi territory, the command and control center at Prince Sultan air base near Riyadh effectively directed the air war in Iraq. The House of Saud did not like granting military facilities for a war it officially deplored. But the government bought U.S. assurances that the war would be quick and calculated that most Saudis would be better pleased by the removal of the despot than angered by the way it was done.
The war, however, turned out nastier than anticipated and the fear is that what follows could be worse. The more blatantly "colonial" the postwar administration in Iraq turns out to be, the likelier it is that the Iraqis will seek to liberate themselves from their "liberators" – a development that will find plenty of ardent supporters here.
In contrast with other Arab countries, there have been no sign of public agitation, no street demonstrations in Saudi Arabia over the war. But the government fears that popular solidarity with Iraq, if it comes, will take an extreme and violent religious form. Al-Qaida sentiment has declined since 9/11, but Iraq has given it a new lease on life.
The Saudi regime that was once happy to recruit Islamic fighters to join America and drive the Russians out of Afghanistan now finds itself preaching against the appropriateness of jihad against American and British "infidel aggressors" in Iraq. It has also arrested hundreds of al-Qaida suspects, fearing a renewal of anti-Western terrorism inside the kingdom itself.
"All depends on how the Iraqi situation evolves," said Muhsin Awaji, an Islamist and former political prisoner. "But the extremists are already a volcano ready to erupt, and I fear that they will target any Westerners, not just American and British."
Any such "jihad" will, in effect, also be aimed a the current Saudi government. It is not just religious fanaticism and anti-Americanism that is gaining al-Qaida a following here. There is a generalized sense of discontent with the present government that is fueled by spreading poverty and a lack of modern, representative institutions through which to voice discontent. While few Saudis may want to see the end of the House of Saud, an increasing number of educated, unemployed young people are unhappy with how the government operates.
"It simply must reform -and build its legitimacy on a new foundation: democracy," said Tawfiq Zughayir, a moderate Islamist.
Crown Prince Abdullah has clear reformist inclinations and is popular because of that. But he stands alone, blocked by the rival clan, centered on the incapacitated King Fahd, whose leading members seem to fear that any serious change will lead to the demise of the whole regime.
"This is a very dangerous attitude," said Daoud Shiryan, a Saudi columnist with the Arab-language newspaper Al-Hayat. "After Iraq, a start to reforms, at the very least, has become an urgent necessity."
Otherwise, many fear, the country risks an internal destabilization that would arouse the interventionist instincts of the U.S. neo-conservatives.

Find meaningful connection this year by volunteering with Hosparus Health of Southern Indiana
Free training is offered on January 24 to those interested in enhancing the lives of hospice patients and their families.
Hosparus Health of Southern Indiana is encouraging members of the community to kick off their New Year's resolutions by volunteering with the not-for-profit hospice and palliative care organization. The year's first free, in-person volunteer training session is scheduled for Tuesday, January 24, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at its New Albany location, 502 Hausfeldt Lane.
"Volunteering is food for the soul you didn't know you were hungry for," shared Ruthie Coleman, who became a Hosparus volunteer through the Kourageous Kids Christmas party in 1994. "It is a privilege to be there for others who are facing serious illness and to support them in what they are going through," she added.
Ruthie began volunteering after her daughter, Natasha, received pediatric hospice services at the age of four. The family was so moved by the level of support they felt from the hospice team, Ruthie was inspired to honor her daughter's memory by carrying that kindness forward. Now, Ruthie helps others by providing a listening ear while co-facilitating a Hosparus grief group.
"Our volunteers bring their unique perspectives and gifts to the organization," said Volunteer Manager Vonya Gresham. "Whether providing companionship or assisting with clerical tasks, our volunteers play a key role in making meaningful moments for patients and families facing serious illness."
Hosparus was founded by volunteers more than 40 years ago, and they still play a vital role in providing compassionate care, comfort and support to seriously ill patients and their caregivers to this day in Clark, Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Floyd, Harrison, Jefferson, Martin, Orange, Perry, Pike, Scott, Spencer and Washington counties. Depending on their interests, volunteers provide presence and support to patients and respite to their caregivers, bereavement care, and veteran-to-veteran companionship.
Currently, Hosparus is especially in need of patient care volunteers, who visit patients wherever they call home. "The value of life is making yourself vulnerable to someone else," said Ruthie. "As volunteers, there's a desire to help and here we've found our niche and purpose by supporting others impacted by serious illness."
Interested volunteers should apply at hosparushealth.org/volunteer. Participants are required to register to attend a training session and provide documentation for COVID-19 vaccination before starting. For questions or general information about additional volunteer opportunities at Hosparus Health, contact Volunteer Manager Vonya Gresham, at email@example.com or 812-542-2809.

NOM's Anti-Gay Rhode Island Picnic
Two dozen marriage equality supporters protested outside the gates of Rhode Island's Aldrich Mansion yesterday as NOM held an anti-gay "family picnic" in which a reported 100 couples renewed their opposite marriage vows.
"Their goal is marriage as an exclusive institution and our goal is marriage as an inclusive institution," said Wendy Becker, who joined in the protest outside the event. "I'm here today because it's important to me to send a message that marriage doesn't have to be protected from gay and lesbian couples. ... It doesn't need to be protected from me." But Christopher Plante, NOM Rhode Island's executive director, said that the gathering was intended to "celebrate marriage" and was not political. "A couple wants to renew their wedding vows and that's worth a protest?" he said. "We have a really strong group of Rhode Islanders who are concerned about marriage," he said, acknowledging that the recent legalization of gay marriage in the other New England states makes its fate in Rhode Island "a fight."VIDEO: NOM founder Maggie Gallagher speaks to the crowd and a speaker exhorts attendees to protect opposite marriage.
