This has to do with the particular history of the Canadian Golden Age (WECA and FECA) and the implementation of the Fulton Bill in the early 1950s that essentially destroyed the Canadian comic industry until the mid-1970s. Comic historian John Bell positions the Canadian Silver Age as beginning with the first issue of Captain Canuck in 1975 and ending around 1988 with the collapse of the Alternative comic industry in the country. During the 1960s and early 1970s, Canadian comics were almost exclusively business and government giveaways. The exception was the fledgling underground comics that proliferated in Vancouver, Saskatoon, Toronto and Montreal. Many of these giveaways have been lost to time, but I have been trying to source examples and am here to share what I have found (with the hope of seeing some new stuff too). There were two main giveaway companies: Ganes Productions and Owen McCarron's Comic Book World. A few reprints of American giveaways also appeared in Canada too. So, here we go. Let's start with some Ganes books. First up, "Save Lives," a mini from 1962 explaining CPR. I happen to own a copy of this one.

One of the greatest impediments to easing the housing affordability crisis in evermore-expensive both-coast cities like Washington is the dominance of marketplace-hating and regulation-loving attitudes among political and affluent elites.
These influential constituencies mistakenly believe that more development mandates and regulations will somehow ease the accelerating economic exile of both middle-class and lower-income residents.
Worse, it prompts an unseemly melding of free-market opposition and classic NIMBY-intervention intent on code-worded concepts such as neighborhood character, historic preservation and allowable density. This was ironically evident in the testimonies of many while-also-bemoaning-gentrification at last month's D.C. Council public hearing on proposed reforms to the city's Comprehensive Plan guiding development, zoning and land use policies.
Sufficient availability to meet demand is the single factor determining whether housing is affordable at multiple economic levels. The more difficult, costly, and restrictive it is for the private sector to create new housing controls overall market affordability.
Merely allowing for the integrated development of a relatively small number of modest-sized multi-unit buildings in established well-to-do neighborhoods would generate much of the needed housing capacity and supplement housing growth in newly developing areas. It would also lessen economic segregation and improve access to the amenities of all types typical to them. The fierce opposition by a politically liberal yet "we-got-ours" landed gentry is the obstacle, as much here as it is in San Francisco.
The dilemma for urban-dominant Democrats in the nation's most expensive cities experiencing the worst of these problems is that the party increasingly represents two separate and disparate ends of the economic spectrum – the wealthy and the poor. The party has proven increasingly inept at reconciling an expanding internal tension between the haves and have-nots among politically affiliated voters.
No matter how loudly shouted the demands of left-leaning activists, no massive new taxpayer funding for low-income housing production will realistically be allocated or prove sufficient to even marginally match the positive effect of making market-rate and work-force housing easier to build.
This is particularly true in places like D.C., where in-migration population growth is increasingly comprised of high-income and high-wealth new arrivals able to afford high-cost housing. An inadequate supply of market-rate housing sends shelter seekers down the price-chain to gobble-up housing that would otherwise be available for less.
In an intensely competitive housing market with demand exceeding availability, housing that once was and could be more affordable becomes pricier due to a lack of inventory. Rather than a housing market able to adequately accommodate the most people at a maximum range of price points, housing acquisition instead becomes a domino-dance of winners and losers.
That's not to say that government doesn't have a contributing role to play in easing the pressures causing a continuously worsening displacement in some of the largest urban areas benefiting from growing population pressures. Government, however, is not the real, or even primary, solution and offers only minor mitigation at best.
More important is that local governmental policies both promote ease of private-sector housing development and prevent citizen interventions from delaying or denying its creation.
D.C. has instituted a broad complement of policies and programs designed to make housing more accessible and affordable – exceeding other cities in both financial consideration and strategic sophistication. Yet, despite all that, the housing affordability problem grows worse.
Measured by recent data analyzed by authors of a respected national study, D.C. is among the very worst cities in the country for making housing more expensive and costing nearly twice the rate of a less-regulated market.
Treating developers like demons while imagining government as devil-slayers has become a popular political fantasy among left-leaning activists and political groups, and has regrettably become bible-and-verse for moderate-no-more Democrats.
Unless the political and regulatory focus is fundamentally shifted toward easing the opportunity path and incentives for private-sector development of new housing, the District will only continue extending a warm embrace to the wealthy and a cold-shoulder to those not.

At one point forecasts seem to suggest that today would offer decent soaring (which no doubt most here would welcome). It was not to be: rain began around 8:30, was strong by 9:00, tapered off by 9:30 but persisted for several hours. With some short breaks, overcast persisted all day.
By late afternoon it looked as if we might be able to assemble gliders for the technical inspection (known as "scrutineering") that all gliders must undergo before the start of competition. As we were putting wings on, word came of severe weather headed toward Pociunai, said to consist of 50-knot winds and damaging hail. Gliders promptly retreated into their trailers.
The worst weather stayed north of here – folks shopping in the city of Kaunas (30 km north; home to some truly first-rate stores) reported wind, rain and hail sufficient to make driving difficult. The threat passed with little more than rain, but all enthusiasm for doing anything with gliders was gone. We hold out hope for tomorrow, the final practice day.
Some random observations from a week in southern Lithuania:
We're a long way north here – at a latitude about the same as Ketchikan, Alaska. Though a month past the summer solstice, we get an early sunrise and late sunset (with a notably long period of twilight).
Despite a per-capita income rather low by European standards ($15,000 – about a third of Germany's) Lithuania seems generally a modern, prosperous country. Shops are well stocked with pretty much the same goods you'd expect in any western country (with prices that are notably attractive).
A store teller's cash "drawer" will nearly always be a rectangular metal box with a hinged lid, containing compartments for bills of all Euro denominations, which rest on their long edges, not flat. Nearby will always be a square glass dish where a customer places cash and receives change. You're expected to bring your own bags, or pay a small amount for plastic ones.
Agriculture consists of largeish fields in which are grown barley, wheat, rye, oats, canola (knows outside the US as rapeseed) and others. Pastures tend to be lumpy – enough so to rank as dubious choices for glider landings. You frequently see a single cow tied to a stake with a 20-ft tether (she is presumably moved every day). Horse drawn carts, though not common, are occasionally seen.
One fairly common sight near a town of any size is one or more large & soulless brick buildings, long abandoned and moldering away, perhaps with trees emerging from the windows. These are former apartment blocks built during the Soviet era, for which little use – or affection – can be found today.
A few details seem curious:
• Despite a healthy insect population (which certainly includes mosquitos), screens are not popular on doors or windows. (Indeed, I think we've yet to discover the first example.)
• Most doors lock with a key both from the inside and outside. This includes bedroom & bathroom doors. Why you'd want to be able to remove the key (possibly making it hard to get out) from your bathroom door is a mystery.
• Light switches are commonly located outside a room's door. It's thus presumably a popular juvenile prank to switch off the light in an occupied bathroom.

Toyota, Alonso Steal The Show At Le Mans
Spanish driver Fernando Alonso moved within one victory of accomplishing international auto racing's triple crown on Sunday when he and his Toyota teammates won the overall championship at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Alonso, who has twice won the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Monaco and is currently a full-time driver for the McLaren F1 team, captured Le Mans on his first attempt.
The third leg of the triple crown is the Indianapolis 500, which he had a shot to win in 2017 – that shot ended when his Andretti Autosport Honda engine blew with 21 laps to go.
"We were leading the race, close to winning," Alsonso told the media Sunday, "but we missed the opportunity.
"Here, we were leading the race and I was worried I would miss the opportunity again but here we achieved it."
The only driver to win the triple was Britain's Graham Hill.
Sunday's win was the first overall for Toyota, which in recent years, had been deprived at Le Mans by LMP1 powerhouses Audi and Porsche. With both of those German marques absent this year, only the Toyota fielded all-powerful hybrid cars in the top class and finished first and second.
The No. 8 Toyota TS050 hybrid, which was driven on the final stint by Kazuki Nakajima of Japan and also co-driven by Sebastian Buemi, finished two laps in front of the No. 7 sister car, which was co-driven by Britain's Mike Conway, Japan's Kamui Kobayashi and Argentine Jose Maria Lopez.
"It's an amazing feeling [to win]," Alonso said. "Right now I'm maybe still in a little bit [of] shock because we were so focused on the race and so stressed at the end watching the television.
"I'm not used to watching my car racing, I'm normally in it. It was quite a tense 24 hours, with two cars within one minute [for] more or less the whole race."
Finishing third in LMP1 – 12 laps off the pace – was the No. 3 Rebellion Racing machine, which was driven at the end by Gustavo Menzes.
Claiming class victories were the No. 28 G-Drive Racing in LMP2, the No. 92 Porsche 911 RS in GTE Pro and the No. 77 Porsche 911 of Dempsey-Proton Racing.
Driving the No. 28 G-Drive Oreca Jean-Eric Vergne, Andrea Pizzitola and Romain Rusinov.
The G-Drive LMP2 car was followed by the No. 36 Signatech Alpine Matmut team in second and the No. 39 Graff-S024 team in third.
Piloting the GTE Pro winning Porsche were Lauens Vanthoor, Kevin Estre and Michael Christensen.
The No. 91 Porsche GT Team finished second and the No. 68 Ford GT of Chip Ganassi Racing finshed third.
The No. 77 Dempsey – Proton Racing Porsche 911 team took first in the GTE Am class, followed by the No. 54 Spirit of Race team in second and the No. 85 Keating Motorsports team in third.
Julien Andlauer, Christian Ried and Matt Campbell drove the Dempsey car.

I want to share with all of you my latest thrill. I was invited by Tony Robbins to attend a webinar "Business Mastery and Social Technology", which took place yesterday. The speaker, Scott Klososky, was so informative and I was really impressed by the plethora of information and new ideas that were shared.
First thing that caught my eye, was a quote from Sir Peter Blake: "New technology is common, new thinking is rare".
I will share some stuff that I learned, and I am sure that you will see the "light" and understand how important it is to think outside the box and follow the mainstream.
1. A lot of huge companies get now the highest percentage of their referrals through social networks.
2. Digital Marketing and mobile technology are rally hot.
3. Create your organizational voice (your company's id) socially.
4. Blogs tend to work better than newsletters and it is critical that you find your niche, create your voice and keep up weekly.
5. ORM (online reputation management) will be huge in the near future. Manage your online presence and reputation well.
6. Check out and learn about free software that you can use, like crowd sourcing websites.
7. Mobile apps. are really critical. You have to create a mobile version of your website, so that it is viewable from any smart or cell phone. A lot of people are now surfing the web through their cell phones. Flash sites do not work on mobile phones.
8. Improve your business processes. Become a leader with a 5 to 10 years view. Look far into the future to make sure you stay ahead of the game.
Thank you Scott Klososky and Tony Robbins.

Your shopping cart is empty!
Jemima is an Age Group triathlete, Pilates instructor and psychology undergraduate student at the University of Bath. Jemima is a true lover of endurance sport and she is always in search of a new challenge. She has big dreams and aspirations to become a professional athlete and is ready to work hard to achieve this.
Jemima has been an Active Root Ambassador since October 2017. On top of this she also writes for 3XSport. You can find her articles here:
"Swimming, biking, running- they can be hard enough on their own, but doing them all one after another?! We must be crazy, right? Wrong! Of course, this multi-sport business is a challenge- but that is half the fun off it. Sometimes it can be the scary thoughts of all the unknowns and should I's? The feelings of not knowing where to start can stop you from getting started and championing your tri training, and keep you firmly rooted on the sofa! But take it from me- it really doesn't have to be that complicated. It really can be fun and you really can do it!
All you have to do is SWIM (like your boat sunk), BIKE (like you stole it), RUN (like they are chasing you)!
But just to help anyone feeling still a little unsure about the whole thing, here are some training survival tips that helped me from rookie to frontrunner.
When we have three sports to play with, the potential for more, more, more is endless. But if you need to do X, why do X+10?! In triathlon, it is essential that you choose quality over quantity. Trying to go at everything at 100mph, is not going to get you very far!
So, choose a few key sessions to target and hit hard each week. These might be a speed run focusing on short fast intervals, a threshold swim with 100meter intervals at top end speed or a hill repetition session to target power on the bike. The rest of the time- take it easy!
The key here is creating disparity in your training: i.e. when you are going easy- this is truly EASY. When you are going hard this is truly HARD! This is where you see the benefits of speed, lactate endurance and metabolising optimising for optimum performance. (Unfortunately) there are no prizes and little gain to be made from endless steady state work, so push the intensity up once in a while so you can gradually maintain harder for longer.
That said, you must intersperse the hard sessions with easy recovery sessions (i.e. low heart rate and breathing rate like an easy flat course spin on the bike, a slow jog or a technique focused swim). The recovery response that these types of sessions will offer you will increase aerobic capacity, increase fatty acid usage and the low-intensity exercise will pump blood into your tired muscles, delivering much-needed nutrients and removing lactic acid and waste products that can accumulate in muscle cells which cause aches and pains. So, your muscles recover faster and you can smash your next key workout!
Trungary: 'State of ravenous hunger after triathlon training usually accompanied with excessive biscuit consumption and a bad mood until done so'
Fuelling. Oh, how much we active types like to drag on about the pros and cons of this and that diet. The pluses and minuses of veganism and cherry juice and nitrates and whey protein. But let me degarbage some of this nutrition confusion. Food is fuel. Fuel is energy. Energy is power, speed and strength.
There are no prizes for the riders hanging on for dear life at the back of a group having hit the notorious 'wall' on the back of a 3hour ride. No heroes made by emptying the tank and collapsing on the track after a hard run sesh. No champs made by underperformingdue to under fuelled a long swim set. If you are feeling hungry in your session- it is probably too late. And believe me, failure to fuel properly on a long ride will lead to a very expensive consumption of your entire fridge and biscuit cupboard on your return (take it from me- this is best avoided!)
If you are going to inflict the training load of a three sport regime on your body, you have to treat it right. Just like a car doesn't work without petrol- your body won't perform without food. Basics.
Riding is where you are likely to spend the longest periods training and where people often seem to get it wrong with their nutrition. For me, my rides are fuelled with 30-60g of carbohydrate per hour (depending on ride length and intensity). Usually that looks like 1x 500ml bottle of Active Root plus one energy bar or energy gel per hour. In the pool, I also sip on a healthy dose of Active Root to keep me going for the 5/6km. This means I can keep on working at a higher intensity for longer and I get more out of the session.
Believe me when I say I take this one VERY seriously. I may train at least 2/3 times a day, but show me a set of stairs and I'll look for a lift. I park next to the supermarket entrance, and right now- you bet, feet up writing this on my sofa. If you want to perform in your sessions, you have to make sure that you reserve your finite energy supplies. Across social media you have 'just do it', 'never give up' and 'beast it' slogans twinned with the endless pictures of bikes, lycra and sweaty selfies. It's enough to make any individual who is not being excessively active feel inadequate. Yes, to achieve success in triathlon you need to work hard keep consistent, but this 'go hard or go home' ethos is really not the whole story.
Without time for a bit of R+R, the body can't recover between workouts and so reaches a kind of level of constant tiredness. Due to your exhausted body, your muscles and energy systems just can't hit the upper reaches of intensity required to get the most training adaptation. Ultimately all your training becomes is mediocre.
So go on, watch that bad Saturday, night romcom. Let yourself chill a little! The hoovering can sometimes wait. You can have a day off chores. When you are on you are on. When you are off, you are off!
In triathlon, we are trying to be awesome at three sports and quite frankly, however many superpowers these Ironmen and Olympians seem to have, there is only so many ways that your body can be pulled in different directions before something snaps. At different times in training both week to week and even over an entire season, one of the disciplines is likely to be going a little better than another. This is ok. Don't stress or fear it. The idea is to make sure that you are training consistently across all three sports.
Don't neglect your weakest sport or overdo it your strongest/ favourite one. It's a game of balance! Make sure you plan time in your program to address all three and you'll be grand!
"I swim, then I ride, then I run out of money" Us triathletes and most keen cyclists will soon start to learn about the trials and tribulations of aerodynamics on the bike. "These over shoes will save you 1 Watt", "A lighter crank X watts and Y grams." You can buy away upgrading your bottle cage, buying fancy wheels and ultra light components all day, but at the end of the day, there is no such thing as a 'Fast Bike'. There is, however a 'Bike that goes fast'. If you don't put in the training and have a good engine sitting upon that full carbon saddle and disk wheel, then however 'fast' the bike may look and however light or aerodynamic it will never go anywhere!!!! Before you even look at what aero water bottle cages you can buy for half your month's pay cheque, just take a little step back and think about how you are training and fuelling your engine. Once you've got a constant and sustainable progress plan in place, then it's time for the shopping spree!
So I hope my tips can help you out a little on your tri journey. Triathlon is (in my very biased opinion) THE best sport out there. A physical and mental challenge like no other, a sport for everyone and an opportunity for anyone to do quite extraordinary things.
Beyond the training programs, fuelling strategies and recovery compression tights- make sure you are doing it for fun. Keep things interesting. Keep on smiling. Keep at it and you'll be a winner!

Dad's response:
Researchers all over the world are
trying to identify the causes of aging.
While numerous factors have been identified to be related to
aging - from telomeres to diet, from oxidants to hormones and from social life styles to psychological dispositions -
no consistent, undisputed theory has emerged that would explain the process
in its totality. Some research seems to indicate that low
levels of the enzyme telomerase are associated with progressive
erosion of telomeres, which may then contribute to tissue
degeneration and functional decline. There might be progress in
the future with therapies that restore levels of telomerase to
pre-aging levels - without causing caner (which apparently also
use telomerase to keep alive).
But aging is a multi-faceted process: it involves
all parts of the body, the brain and the mind. People can age in
good physical health, but suffer from depression or become
suborn and cranky. Others may be physically frail, but
strong-willed, alert and determined to live each day of their
life with utmost intensity. Aging, obviously, is a social,
biological, and mental process. Below are fourteen suggestions that may help you to live a longer, healthier life.
Stop smoking immediately!
More people die prematurely from smoking than from any
other cause of death. But even if smoking would not shorten your life span, it will degrade your health and lower the quality of your

Reduce your weight, if you have a
body-mass index above 24. Especially, reduce the fat around your
waist. Recent research indicates that a smaller waist may be more
important than a lower body-mass index. Obesity is a primary cause of heart
disease. If you want to get a stroke or heart attack just keep
on munching those cheeseburgers. Heart disease and cancer, the
first and second leading cause of death among males and females
in the USA have a strong relation to bad diet and overweight (as
well as lack of exercise).

Does intermittent fasting diet work? (NIH)
Fasting for a longer healthier life: Is there a scientific basis?
Stop taking (hard) drugs or
drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. In some countries,
alcohol is the number one killer. Life expectancy in
Russia, for instance, is many years lower for men than for
women, primarily because of drinking. Taking drugs, such as
cocaine and heroin, can make you reckless and get you into
high-risk sexual behavior: A growing proportion of people with
HIV/AIDS are IV drug users.

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2011
Exercise. Use every opportunity
to exercise your body in daily life. Get out of your car
whenever you can. Rent an apartment in a house without
elevator. Forget about excessive sports! Hiking vigorously around the block on a regular basis is better than running marathons. You
can also join a dancing club or gymnastics group. This also increases your social contacts.
The Health benefits of physical activity (CDC)
Eat healthy. Eat fruits,
vegetables, roots and tubers, beans, lentils, fish and nuts and reduce the consumption of (red) meat. Forget those
stupid vitamin "supplements". If you don't have a serious health
problem, you don't need all those pills. Just eat a diverse,
healthy diet.
Get married and have children.
Humans are social primates. We need contact to
other human beings. Keeping someone isolated for a long time
from other human beings is a form of torture. Widowers and
singles usually have a higher mortality than married men and
women. By the way - in 2006, suicide was the seventh leading cause of death
among men in the United States.
Work hard - but don't
overdo it. Working hard and loving what you do for a job is good for your health! It is nonsense
that you could live longer by just hanging around on a
beach. Nothing is more devastating to mental and physical health than
idle boredom and inactivity. However, what might kill you
prematurely is permanent stress or constant 14-hour work days. The US is one of those countries with protestant work ethics where
people believe they would be more productive if they spend long hours in the office and have just 1 week annual vacation. This is
nothing but stupid self-exploitation, which is the hallmark of America's "stone-age capitalism"! It's much better
to work just 8 hours highly concentrated, than 12 hours almost
falling asleep due to exhaustion. Many European countries have much shorter daily working
hours and much, much longer vacations - yet these countries
have the same or even higher labor productivity and a higher quality of life (and, by the way, often higher life expectancy).
Believe in something (god,
your family, science, helping others, creating art, making money). People who have a purpose in life live longer.
high-risk hobbies. If you are an adrenaline junky chances are
high that you will get yourself badly hurt or killed earlier in
life. In 2006, unintentional injuries (car accidents, etc.) have
been the third leading cause of death among males in the USA and
the sixth leading cause of death among females.
Learn how to drive
defensively and smartly.
You can shorten your life significantly by reckless driving. I am
not talking about car racing! Just the everyday commute can be
more or less dangerous depending on how you drive your car. Insurance companies are
acutely aware of those clients who are in car accidents again
and again while others are driving on a daily basis for forty or more years
and never have a single accident. Always wear a seat belt! Driving without a seatbelt is
not cool but stupid.
Chose your
parents and your sex - just kidding! There can be no doubt that longevity is
at least partly genetically determined. If both of your
parents have died before age 50 you should probably increase the
frequency of check-ups with your physician. There is also no question that (in the developed world) women on average (still) live
significantly longer than men.
Have fun. Your body needs to recharge. Frequent
laughing ventilates your lungs and produces all kinds of
beneficial hormones. There is research that links optimism and positive thinking to longevity. A recent longitudinal study in England
apparently found evidence that positive feelings increase life expectancy.
Longitudinal study on relationship between mood and survival in older people (pdf)
Have friends.
One of the most surprising findings in recent years is that time spent with friends has a huge impact on ageing well. Apparently, the
immune systems of people with lots of friends simply works better. Social interaction also keeps your brain alert.
Social relationships and longevity (pdf)
No one can escape the process of ageing. But there are huge differences among older people. Some
remain alert, optimistic, friendly, active and happy till the day of their death. Others descent into depression, chronic disease, or
aggressive grouchiness. While some of these differences may be result of processes we cannot change, others are clearly the result of
life-style choices. We can do a lot ourselves to age healthier and happier.

How to Get Ready for Roadcheck 2018
The Commerical Vehicle Safety Alliance's (CVSA) International Roadcheck will take place June 5 to 7, 2018. During this period, vehicle inspectors throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico will conduct inspections of commercial motor vehicles and drivers. This year's focus will be on hours-of-service compliance.
According to the CVSA, last year more than 62,000 inspections were conducted, and 23 percent of vehicles that received Level I inspections last year were placed out of service. The top three out-of-service vehicle violations were for brake systems, cargo securement, and tires/wheels.
This year's focus will be on hours-of-service compliance, due in large part to the implementation of the U.S. DOT's electronic logging device (ELD) mandate.
"Annual vehicle and driver out-of-service rate remain relatively consistent (+/- 20% and 5% respectively). However, these rates tend to spike during CVSA's Annual Roadcheck event, when tens of thousands of inspections are conducted over a 72-hour period between. This year's event will focus on hours-of-service and ELD compliance," said Brad Penneau, Safety Consultant at Verizon Connect.
For hours-of-service, drivers will need to know:
- What type of device is installed in the vehicle: Electronic Logging Device (ELD), or Automatic On-board Recording Device (AOBRD)
- How to provide the inspector with instructions to access the device
- How to display required and requested information
For more tips to help ensure a successful Roadcheck experience, download this free checklist.

Advanced first aid training is pretty handy, especially if you have a family that you will be responsible for, and/or live in a rural area.
Basic first aid is better than nothing, but something that deals with sucking chest wounds, impalement, and just general combat oriented triage can be pretty valuable. If you're in a bug-out situation and fending for your family in a remote area, or defending your home from attackers/robbers, basic first aid can often fall short.

I'd like to take more advanced stuff, but choices are limited, and extremely expensive. Not just in cost, but time away from work as well.

Fanny Kemble Journal Entry on Slave Wanting to Read
From St. Simons Island, Fanny Kemble Butler wrote in her journal of the final days of her visit to our husband's plantation. The English actress was opposed to slavery and during her visit continually tried to help the slaves (despite her husband's opposition):
"… I have been delighted, surprised, and the very least perplexed, by the sudden petition on the part of our young waiter [and slave] Aleck, that I will teach him to read. He is a very intelligent lad of about sixteen, and preferred his request with an urgent humility that was very touching. I told him I would think about it. I mean to do it. I will do it; and yet, it is simply breaking the laws of the government under which I am living. Unrighteous laws are made to be broken - perhaps - but then, you see, I am a woman, and Mr. [Pierce Butler, her husband] stands between me and the penalty. If I were a man, I would do that and many a thing besides, and doubtless should be shot some fine day from behind a tree by some good neighbor, who would do the community a service by quietly getting rid of mischievous incendiary; and I promise you in such a case, no questions would be asked, and my lessons would come to a speedy and silent end; but teaching slaves to read in a finable offense, and I am feme couverte [a married woman], and my fines must be paid by my legal owner, and the first offense of the sort is heavily fined, and the second more heavily fined, and for the third, one is sent to prison. What a pity it is I can't begin with Aleck's third lesson, because going to prison can't be done by proxy, and that penalty would light upon the right shoulders! I certainly intend to teach Aleck to read. I certainly won't tell Mr. [Butler] anything about it… .I'll teach Aleck to ready, for nobody is here to see, at least nobody whose seeing I mind; and I'll teach every other creature that wants to learn. I haven't much more than a week to remain in this blessed purgatory; in that last week perhaps I may teach the boy enough to go on along when I am gone."

Keeping my work accessible is an important part of my mission. I offer a limited number of need-based sliding scale appointments in my practice. I ask people who are interested in working with me on a sliding scale to answer a few questions. This helps us discern between a genuine need and a strong preference for a reduced fee. I understand that frank discussions about resources may be uncomfortable, and it is only through honest, transparent disclosure that I may offer a lower rate for those who truly need it, while maintaining a practice that is financially sustainable as well.
Thank you for taking time and care to consider these questions. All your answers will be kept completely confidential. Please note that if you own a home or have an earning partner you do not qualify for sliding scale. In this case, there are other ways I can help you in decreasing the cost of this work. For example: paying for a series of sessions (purchasing a package at a discounted rate) or doing 60 min sessions vs. 90 min sessions. If you are interested in these options, please let me know and we can discuss it further.
If you would like to see if you qualify for sliding scale, please complete your application by answering the following questions. Again, your information will be held in confidentiality.
Thank you for answering these questions. I know that it is sensitive to talk about money in our culture. Sharing this information is the start of our conversation about the appropriate fee for our work together.
Please let me know if you
have any questions.
I look forward to the opportunity to supporting you on your journey!

Research shows that many people experience snoring throughout their lifetime. The snoring is typically a manifestation of Obstructive Sleep Apnea as well as other health issues. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has increasingly caught the world's attention owing to its potential to deteriorate the quality of life and low treatability rate. Research shows that OSA can lead to an apnea event where breathing is hampered for a few seconds. Breathing thus becomes difficult causing a decrease in oxygen concentration in the blood. Subsequently, some organs could experience stress during such conditions, and this leads to various health issues. Furthermore, since apnea can impede breathing, it is considered a life-threatening condition. Sleep apnea can also cause daytime exhaustion, a problem known to cause many car accidents.
Consulting a dentist is crucial to avoid such adverse occurrences. Some of the treatment measures include the use of snoring appliances. Snoring appliances are fitting dental pieces placed in the mouth to alter the position of the jaw, soft palate, and the tongue and are used to mitigate snoring as well as the symptoms of mild or moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The appliances are also referred to as Mandibular Repositioning Appliances (MRA), Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS), or Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD). The devices resemble a mouth guard and are placed in the mouth before going to bed. Typically, the snoring devices are recommended for people whose OSA is triggered by a narrow airway passage or from a situation where the tongue relaxes back into the airway during sleep thus impeding normal breathing.
What Is Snoring?
Snoring occurs when the tissues of the throat and nose vibrate resulting in harsh or hoarse sounds. The condition has the potential to impede breathing partially and could be a sign of OSA. However, there are other causative factors of OSA including congestion, alcohol use, pregnancy, obesity, and allergies.
Snoring appliances work by clearing the obstruction. The appliance pushes the lower jaw forward and nudges the airway open. Once the breathing passages are opened, the vibrations caused by obstruction recede and snoring stops. In addition to preventing snoring, snoring appliances can help to improve alertness, concentration, and emotional stability during the day.
How Effective Are Snoring Appliances?
Similar to other forms of treatment, people respond differently to the appliances. For individuals with mild to moderate sleep apnea, there is usually a high rate of success. Additionally, for an individual who is not overweight, and for those who experience reduced apnea when they lie on their side, compared to lying on the back, such appliances have a high success rate. Research also shows that the effectiveness of snoring appliances is compromised in individuals diagnosed with central sleep apnea. However, it is only when one tries the device that one can see the effect.
What Are the Positive Aspects of Snoring Appliances?
In addition to being portable, snoring appliances are a non-invasive form of treatment. Therefore, it is possible to carry the device anywhere in the purse or bag. Moreover, there is usually no need for surgery. Also, due to their ease of use, it is simple to comply with treatment.
Are There Any Side Effects?
If the appliance is used the right way, then it is unlikely to cause adverse side effects. However, due to the mechanism of action which relies on pushing the jaw forward, the initial use of the appliance results in discomfort. The discomfort is felt at the joint located at the back of the jaw but usually dissipates in the morning. With prolonged use, the discomfort tends to ease.
What to Expect
If a doctor recommends the snoring appliance as an option for treatment of snoring, it is crucial to visit a qualified dentist who has experience in handling snoring for proper fitting and follow up therapy. The initial meeting with the dentist serves to provide an overview of the benefits of the treatment, a description of the side effects, and the cost of the treatment. Upon a complete clinical evaluation of the teeth, airway, tongue, and jaw, the dentist then takes an impression of the teeth.
Each person has a uniquely shaped mouth and jaw. Consequently, it is essential for a person to have a custom appliance explicitly made to fit them. In ideal circumstances, the dentist should take the impression of a patient's teeth and send the mold to the lab to be developed.
The process could take between two to three weeks. When the appliance is ready, the dentist then fits the device. Upon fitting in the mouth, the appliance is modified to move the jaw forward to an ideal position where the patient feels a balance between effectiveness and comfort. With the help of an in-built screw adjustment, the dentist optimizes the position of the appliance over a period of time in subsequent follow-up visits.
What about Ready-Made Snoring Appliances?
There is the option of purchasing ready-made snoring appliances, but since the appliance is meant to be used for a long time, it is vital for it to be fitted for a particular mouth. Failure to get the right custom-made appliance can aggravate the side effects and reduce the overall effectiveness of the appliance. Therefore, it is advisable to visit the dentist to get the right size. Ready-made devices could cause side effects if not suitably selected.
General Care
It is possible for plaque to gradually build up on appliances, similar to teeth. Therefore, it is imperative to wash the appliances thoroughly every day. Further, it is essential to keep it dry and to keep it out of reach of children and pets. Additionally, before put in the snoring appliance every day, it is essential to brush and floss to minimise the likelihood of bacteria from the teeth accumulating on the snoring appliance.
If one begins to snore again after prolonged use, then it is essential to have the snoring appliance reviewed by the dentist for further adjustment. However, some people consider other treatments for their snoring after prolonged use of appliances.
Treating sleep apnea is essential in improving the overall quality of life. Studies show that treating the condition can improve the health of the heart, body, and well as the mind.

Report by Steven Gregg
As a recent recruit to the Hillrunners, Meall a'Bhuachaille seemed too intimidating for an October weekend so I took on the less scary option of the 38 mile Jedburgh Ultramarathon.
Despite biblical rain being forecast, it remained pretty good through the whole day. There was a lot of muddy running on riverside and forest paths before a stiff haul over the three windy Eildon hills, which signified the halfway point. The route met up with itself again for the last 14 miles, which had become increasingly boggy and energy sapping. The last stretch along the tarmac was tough going before the finish line, 7 hours 26 minutes in 45th place and sneaking into the top half of the field.
A mug of tea and some cake was greatly appreciated at Jed Thistle Rugby Club. A well organized and friendly race for those of the long distance persuasion.

Back Pain & Spinal Flexion
Why is it that most yoga teachers believe that spinal flexion helps alleviate back pain? Let's explore.
What is spinal flexion? Flexion of the spine occurs when your rib cage rounds closer to your pelvis or thighs. In most yoga classes, flexion is achieved by performing common Forward Folds, such as Balasana (child's pose), Uttanasana (standing forward fold), and Paschimottanasana (seated forward fold).
However, there is no anatomical support for yoga teachers' choice to put students with low back pain immediately into a forward-folding position.

A Fultondale business owner denies any wrongdoing after being thrown into the national spotlight this week.
Mitch Ross, owner of Sports With Alternative to Steroids (S.W.A.T.S.), is being accused of providing a banned substance to college and NFL athletes.
Ross freely admits, in numerous media reports, that he has given S.W.A.T.S. Ultimate Spray to players, and is even proud of the fact. He has also provided it to Major League Baseball and PGA athletes.
The spray is made from New Zealand deer antler velvet, and contains IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1), which the NFL and other organizations have banned.
However, Ross insists that the spray is legal, saying it contains natural and not synthetic IGF-1. He said only the synthetic substance is the illegal, banned substance.
Ross did not create the spray; there are many brands of products containing IGF-1. He also sells tablets that contain deer antler, and thus IGF-1.
His company grabbed headlines this week following the publication of a Sports Illustrated article that said Ross and his partner Christopher Key sold S.W.A.T.S. Ultimate Spray, tablets and other products to Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, after Lewis was injured during a game in October.
The article stated that Lewis took the products in order to heal more quickly from surgery after he tore his triceps in a game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Lewis has strongly denied using S.W.A.T.S. products, but Ross continues to insist that he did use them.
Ross also claims that football players from the University of Alabama, Auburn University, Ole Miss, LSU and other universities have used his products.
Universities are distancing themselves from S.W.A.T.S. Many have reportedly sent cease and desist letters in an attempt to stop Ross from using the names of their universities and players in order to promote his products.
S.W.A.T.S. Health and Fitness Center is located on Decatur Highway in Fultondale.
Ross was unavailable for comment for this article.
