Do You Know Shape Of Your Lip Can Reveal An Important Character About You
Lips are one of the most erroneous and a beautiful part of a person. They speak volumes about the person's character, his or her well being, the care they take themselves to keep the lips in good shape and health etc. Lips can be of various shapes and sizes right from big lips, small lips to round shaped lips, etc.
The attention given to the lips of a female is more than the attention given to the lips of a male. The main reason for this is that female lips tend to ooze more sexiness and charm and adds an extra zing to her already charming personality. Strange but true it is, the shape of the lips of a girl can reveal the important secret character about her. As we all know, astrology is related to the stars, the secret reading about the lips has a lovely name too and it is called lips logy.

Papua New Guinea has long been a divine Ithaca for divers and snorkellers alike – standing as the ultimate underwater finale for those who have spent their lives logging dives into a scruffed-up notebook, or re-watching ocean documentaries to get their weekly fix. Located in the Indo-Pacific area, experts suggest that the oceans surrounding Papua New Guinea have up to twice as many marine species as the waters of the Red Sea and up to five times as many as the Caribbean. With a huge diversity of dive sites, including barrier reefs, coral walls and underwater wrecks from the second World War, we showcase this once-in-a-lifetime destination as our destination of the week:
Just offshore from the town of Madang is the volcanic seamount known as Planet Rock. With the seas surrounding the submarine mountain plummeting to a depth of over 600 metres, it can be both an intimidating and thrilling encounter with one of the more grand topographies of the Indo-Pacific. Riding the strong ocean currents that surge through Astrolabe Bay, schools of predatory, pelagic fish that feast on the marine biodiversity of the islands' waters will come within a fins' distance from divers. Inhabitants of this site include clown triggerfish, agate-eyed moray eels, blue fins trevally, silver tip sharks and on occasion hammerheads. A common sight is a seemingly never ending wall of silvery jacks.
Fin-kicking through this narrow passage, you can come up-close to some of the most majestic creatures of the sub-aqua world. Swim alongside eagle rays, mobula rays, big dogtooth tunas, barracudas, grey reef sharks and plenty of other fish. Divers can scale the site's large wall – overgrown with many different types of corals – and they can carefully investigate the macro world of nudibranchs, scorpionfish and pygmy seahorses. Kavieng has it all, from action-packed displays from pelagics to bizarre macro behaviour.
Once the Japanese submarine safe-haven in World War II, Rabaul's "Submarine Base" is a site cut in half by a 300 metre vertical wall which is circled by myriad schools of tropical fish, pelagics, sharks and dugongs. Offering both wall and drift diving, this site also allows divers to come up close to a fallen piece of military history. Biplane Peter. A Mitsubishi World War II Japanese spotter aircraft which stands in excellent condition upright, has become coveted by tropical marine life and visited by countless divers.
It is recorded that over half the world's species of coral is on display in the waters of Kimbe Bay, and what a display – pristine and colourful corals provide a technicolour home for a variety of fish, crustacean and invertebrate life. Divers can explore the incredible reefs that host resident schools of barracuda, tuna and jacks and a range of shark species are regularly sighted. Take a short boat ride and you can dive down to the incredible Susan's Reef – the perfect coral garden. A range of vibrant hard and soft corals have stood as the leading image for countless magazine cover shots, and provide a colourful contrast to the darker sunken remains of huge extinct volcanic caldera.
Many divers will never have seen a dive destination quite this varied; from diving the fjords to World War II wrecks, the Tufi offers constant visibility of 30 metres plus an eclectic mix of marine life. The House Reef sits in the 10 metre shallows and is home to gobies, mandarin fish, ghost pipefish, nudibranchs and other incredible creatures that give it it's "Must-Dive" status. Ideal for the macro photographer, the site can also be the perfect breeding ground for wide-angle photography as gentle currents bring in schools of pelagics.
Port Moresby
A short boat ride from the capital, divers can swim below with schooling golden sweetlips and batfish among plenty of colourful tropical fish and coral. At 12-30 metres this almost untouched bombora (offshore reef or rock) offers divers a smorgasbord of corals and fish life. On a clear day, the diving here can be world-class. Holding an abundance of reef fish, black coral trees, soft corals, gorgonian fans, and many more. Fancy going that extra nautical-mile? Located 90nm Southwest of Port Moresby in the Coral Sea is the spectacular Eastern Fields, a submerged atoll rising over 1200metres and covering over 1000 square kilometres.
Milne Bay, the place that put Papua New Guinea on the international scuba map, is visited by some of the most prolific species in the sea animal kingdom. Divers can spend a number of days exploring this destination whose inhabitants include octopods, lion fish, seahorses and a variety of macro life. The fantastic reefs, walls and coral gardens hold many wrecks from the past World Wars and can sometimes reveal rare marine life. This underwater sanctuary is the beating heart of Papua New Guinea's dive tourism.

AT&T Inc (NYSE:T) and NetComm Wireless will soon collaborate in a bid to improve fixed-wireless broadband across a number of areas in the United States. This announcement was made today by NetComm Wireless and it hopes this developmental move will go quite a long way to help it generate higher revenues.
Over some time, the top provider has been planning on making major expansions. From the look of things it is surely moving towards that. The other development is the unveiling of its 5G Evolution network across Indianapolis.
For several years, NetComm Wireless has been supplying fixed-wireless equipment to Australia?s National Broadband Network (NBN).At the moment, it is focusing on supplying AT&T with its huge diversity of the wireless antennas. It hopes they will help a great deal towards enabling connectivity speeds of at least 10Mbps.This will as a matter of fact help the under-served premises in almost 18 states.
According to some top trusted sources, NetComm Wireless and AT&T have deployed the first phase of fixed-wireless in of Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Early this week, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) disclosed that something crucial. It showed its intention to use the unused channels between television broadcasts towards boosting regional access to broadband to a large number of users in the various states. Some of the states that will be benefiting from the initiative include New York, Arizona, Washington, Texas, Georgia, Kansas, Maine, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
Marachel Knight, the AT&T Wireless Network Architecture and Design senior vice president recently spoke to a number of news reporters. He said, ?We?re excited to launch these new, faster, wireless technologies in Indianapolis as we march towards standards-based mobile 5G. We are aggressively deploying equipment as well as investing in spectrum and technology for 5G while standards are still being finalised.?
It is quite evident that AT&T Inc is doing all within its means to climb higher in terms of business. According to one of the top officials working with the provider, they are making plans to invest more in manpower. They will soon add more experienced and vibrant members who will help the company make major steps forward in development according to Zdnet.

Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans (Knopf, 2016)
What are the big take-aways?
This book offers the key insights, exercises and recommended thought habits from the "Designing Your Life" curriculum that a pair of Stanford design educators have taught for years in their Life Design Lab. Its underlying premise, which arises from the disciplines of engineering and innovation, is that we cannot "think" our way forward in life; instead, like designers, if we want to move forward we must "build" our way into the future. How do we do that? By harnessing the generative power of curiosity, proactively embracing change, making prototypes, reframing beliefs and challenges when we get stuck, and approaching life design as a collaborative process that one does not undertake alone.
In addition to the approaches and activities of life design, the book also offers super-practical advice on conducting a job search (see chapters entitled, "How Not to Get a Job" and "Designing Your Dream Job").
Why do I like it?
I like Designing Your Life because I agree with the authors' underlying philosophy. On page 32, Burnett and Evans say their "goal for your life is rather simple: coherency. A coherent life is one lived in such a way that you can clearly connect the dots between three things:
- Who you are
- What you believe
- What you are doing" [their emphases].
For followers of this blog, you will recognize that what they are referring to as "coherence" is what I often describe as "leading an integrated life." The book offers a process for helping the reader engage with her or his values, strengths and energy in order to lead a well-aligned life in which each dimension (home, work, family, community, spirit, etc.) supports the others.
I also like it because, in my leadership coaching practice, I've noticed a dearth of career resources that share a bunch of tools in an intentional progression that speak to both (a) people who are already basically satisfied with how their lives are structured and are just looking to kick things up a notch, as well as (b) people who are in the midst of a significant transition – whether of a type and time of their own choosing, or not – and embarking on a potentially major life change.
Last but not least: I like their focus on fun, play and happiness. Specifically, their reframing of "happiness" resonates with me: "Dysfunctional belief: Happiness is having it all. Reframe: Happiness is letting go of what you don't need" (p. 174; authors' emphases).
In what situations would this be useful?
While I have already begun mentioning Designing Your Life to all my clients and friends who I know are contemplating a career change or are already in one, I would especially recommend it to two audiences in particular:
- young people (e.g., in their 20's) – fresh out of undergraduate or graduate school and/or menial jobs – who are considering their first meaningful career move; and
- veteran professionals who are perhaps contemplating their "third act," a late-career transition or an entirely new type of (paid or volunteer) work in lieu of retirement.
What other resources might "pair" well with it?
If you're in the latter category above, you might want to check out a book about personal reinvention called The Third Chapter: Passion, Risk and Adventure in the 25 Years After 50 by sociologist Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot (Sarah Crichton Books, 2009). Note: It is about human development and narrative, not about conducting a job or career search.
For both categories above, I believe that cultivating a new mindfulness practice or deepening an existing one can accelerate any life transition process. There are some very effective guided mindfulness meditations of various lengths – starting at just three minutes long – available to stream for free online. One audio site that I like is UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center. Also, "there's an app for that!" Here's a recent news article that ranks popular mindfulness apps.

A review of the Christmas season would point to a success in most departments, the only obstacle being the weather which caused a postponement of the carol singing for a couple of nights, but otherwise, yet again, a very good Christmas. The Workshop and Christingle, the Christmas Bazaar - that went very well this time with plenty of merchandise from which to choose - then, as we got nearer, the School Children's Concert and the Carol Concert in the Church. By now the Tree was up on The Knoll and many of the homes and windows were looking most attractive. Maybe it should have been a white Christmas to set it all off but not everyone wants snow. So, thank you yet again the church flood-lighters, and the Christmas tree erectors and decorators. Thank you once again all of you who have, over the year, provided our services, all of which have been without compare - we mean the Church, the shops, the Post Office, the pubs and Tommy and Nick - all things that make up our daily lives. This doesn't mean you can increase your charges but we want you to accept our thanks.
What a great pleasure to see Mrs Edna White at our Carol Service and looking much better than expected.
There were 34 in number on the Boxing Day walk and we finally got round to walking over the new bridge, by permission of Messrs. J W Cook and Son. 'Snowy' was again in charge of rescue services and gratefully, like the St Bernard dog, he had a large bottle of Bells on his collar and so, on the last mile home, the pace livened up a bit. It was all good fun and as family entertainment it takes some beating.
At the last count of the sales money for cards for Willen Hospice the figure was £274. Our grateful thanks for that. All out of the little box!
The front cover for last month's SCAN was drawn by one of the SCAN Art Project artists.
Watching the waters surging down the river and rolling over the meadows during the recent rains, it can be seen just how much debris or flotsam or jetsam goes sailing by. After the waters have receded there is rare picking for the beachcomber and many a householder from higher up the river must wonder just where he put that spare wheel or that plastic storage box. You can see it all floating down past the first, second or third island. Over the years several boats have been found and many plastic dustbins, etc.
Gerald Stratton's new publication 'Newport in the Fifties' has already stimulated quite an interest and, apart from the town history, he has kindly mentioned many of our village characters, all of whom are remembered with great affection. The book makes good reading as you would expect from a professional journalist. The only trouble is putting the blooming thing down. Anyone interested contact Newport Pagnell Historical Society who are the sponsors of the enterprise.
We had a large number of our young blood visit us over Christmas and we could easily have added a dozen or more to our church choir without reserve. Many of the girls now have their own families, others world-wide travellers. Young men, tall and upright, on level terms with us all. Why, it seems like only yesterday that they were just starting school. It was good to see them all and to know that they have been able to go forward, making their way in the world and enjoying it all. Good luck to them, we say.
Within the last five seconds the telephone rang and it was one of our leading SCAN supporters ringing in to say that there was not much left standing of Carisbrooke House and, by morning, there was no sign of it. So ends the life of a house that was built by the late Charlie Peach, Founder Partner of Sherington Nurseries, well known nursery man and the father of Myrtle, the title holder of the Myrtle Peach Trust. Charlie Peach built the house when he was married and he never did really complete it because he became busy with the greenhouses down the bottom and so they managed as best they could and then, of course, came the War. After the war Charlie found it very difficult to pick up the threads of trading and growing again and gradually he settled more on floral and artistic sales, journeying up to London and buying in from Covent Garden. In post-war times life didn't seem to take the right course at all for Charlie and his life finished somewhat unfulfilled. At his death the house on the top of the hill, as it was known, was put on the market and was taken over by an industrialist who altered it beyond anything hitherto. Old Charlie Peach had a Humber saloon car, a very nice style, very imposing. He was glad he lived at the top of a hill 'cos when it wouldn't start he would let off the brake and away down the 'Lotment Hill and she would cough up by the time he got to the bottom. There was one occasion when it was being difficult and he had to go to Covent Garden early in the morning so he started it in the evening and left it running all night, That had 'er.
Talking to our Chairman of the Millennium Committee, John Cook, last night and he is about ready to launch into big things during 1999. Although you don't see much of it yet a good deal is being done. John Cook will certainly be opening the batting on some of the topics in the next month or so and so watch this space to see what it's about. There is no doubt that it is going to be a busy year not only with the Millennium but with many other subjects too. When enquiring of another source about how much longer our own village motorists are to be queuing from Cross Albans Hill through to Olney, spending an hour waiting to progress two miles, we are told that there are plans afoot to alter this delay to motorists, not by building yet another carriageway but by careful planning and decisions about what is required to alleviate present day traffic conditions and hold ups. It is calling for a thorough examination the outcome of which could surprise us all.
Maybe it's best to have a month off this time around with the Thumbstick Club. We have done well over the years and if you consider it's an association of friends who like walking and talking and simply that then it doesn't need to be all involved. We have all made our points of view as we go along and nothing could be easier. Shall we agree to turn out on 7 February at 7.30 am from The Knoll? Please drive down as we shall probably go out of town. Special notice: Our thanks from the Thumbstick Club to Andrew Finn-Kelcey, Esq. and to Caroline and Edward Ellis for their co-operation in making our Advent walk so enjoyable this year.
And as a seasonal thought we offer our thanks to the Santa Claus who added a little colour to our pastoral scene on The Knoll at Christmas time. Posing with the youngsters in front of his sleigh he brought much happiness and absolutely thrilled our young American guests whose grandparents, Mr and Mrs Peter Hoole, live in the Small House. All the day long Santa was about and we are told many motorists stopped to join in the fun. Thank you, Santa Claus. We know at first hand that you enjoyed the day as much as anyone and that Willen Hospice benefited by over £100. Well done, Sir!
So many people from our villages are ill at the moment; so many are in hospital. We send our commiseration and best wishes in the fervent hope that 1999 improves raidly for them as it goes on. From the point of view of SCAN magazine, our love and concern goes out to Rhonda. She has been ill since well before Christmas and, early on 3 January was whisked into hospital. Get well soon Rhonda, get well soon, Enid, get well soon everybody.

Dumfries ace David Bogie led from start to finish to clinch his fourth Border Counties Rally on Saturday and his first win in this year's ARR Craib MSA Scottish Rally Championship.
The five-time former Scottish champion, co-driven by Kevin Rae from Hawick, was in dominant form to finish forty seconds ahead of the rest of the field in his Ford Fiesta R5+, despite the car developing a technical problem on the last of five completed forest stages.
"We were lucky to make it back - the car had a damaged crown wheel and pinion so it was mainly rear wheel drive through the final stage. You could hear it grinding away and I was trying not to be too hard on it", said a relieved Bogie at the finish in Jedburgh: "But obviously we're delighted with the win - it kick-starts our season after the disappointment of a non-finish on the Snowman Rally".
Meanwhile, Newton Stewart's Mark McCulloch chalked up a second successive top-ten finish, and a class win, despite suffering from a sickness bug. Co-driven by Michael Hendry, McCulloch steered his "new-for-2015" Mitsubishi EVO 9 to ninth overall.
There was also success for Port William's Fraser Wilson and navigator Craig Wallace: the pair winning the Group N category in their Mitsubishi EVO while ending the day in fourteenth place.
However, it proved a disappointing day for Jock Armstrong, who won the opening round in Inverness alongside Paula Swinscoe. The Castle Douglas driver had to retire his Subaru Impreza with engine problems after completing two stages, while sitting second behind Bogie.
Among the 2-wheel drive competitors, there was a second in class for Haugh of Urr co-driver Kirsty Riddick who was on the notes for young Aberdeen talent Ryan Weston in his Proton Satria, while Newton Stewart's Alex Curran, with Heather Grisedale navigating, was runner-up in his class in a Vauxhall Corsa.
Thornhill son and father team Greg and Chris McKnight were vying for class honours in their Ford Escort Mk2, before coming to grief on the fourth stage, and another family pairing - Donald and Scott Peacock from Bridge of Dee - had to retire their Peugeot 205GTi.
The third round of the ARR Craib MSA Scottish Rally Championship is the Coltel Communications Granite City Rally in Aberdeen on May 2nd.

How and Why You Should be Honest in Your Resume
Date: 21/08/2013
How and why you should be honest in your resume
Benjamin Franklin explained it best when he wrote, "honesty is the best policy." Not only does this apply to politics, but very much so to resumes as well. Therefore we highly recommend that as a jobseeker you aim to always be honest when writing a resume or cover letter to ensure you achieve a rewarding first impression when applying for employment.
As we live in a society where jobseekers are highly competitive and understand that they are up against many impressive resumes, a lot of people seem to think that it's okay to stretch the truth when writing their own resumes. However if truth be told, this will more than likely come back for them like a boomerang. Although a resume is often the initial "paper side" of applying for employment and will help you achieve an interview if it is written effectively, it is often the interview that will either support or destroy your opportunity for employment, based on what you have stated in your resume. Thus, when prompted by interview questions you're running the risk of 'spilling the beans' if you are unable to speak truthfully and support what you declared on your resume application.
Therefore below are some ways in which you can produce an effective, yet honest resume when applying for employment.
1. Avoid overstating your achievements. As a jobseeker, you want to sound credible and give the employer the impression that you would be a reliable asset to their work environment. Therefore keep your resume achievements truthful and don't pretend you have achieved certain aspects in your career or personal life if they are not true.
2. Avoid misrepresentation. In every aspect you don't want to misrepresent yourself, so be precise and consistent when writing your resume. Employers like to see what you've accomplished, and a great way to show them is by quantifying your results. Numbers can be very valuable when used accordingly. If you've managed a sizable budget or inked a big deal — mention that. Also when declaring your job titles or roles, ensure that what you describe in your duties and employment history section is accurate and true. This is important as employers need to understand what you can and cannot due and falsely misrepresenting yourself as a jobseeker will more likely land you in a role which does not suit your skillset or competencies.
3. Include other relevant roles and activities. Remember that any unpaid jobs, such as volunteer and community work, are qualified as accomplishments as well — include these in your resume. This also gives the employer an idea of how you spend your 'free time.' Also highlight any education, professional awards and skills that you can relate to the position you're applying for.
4. Watch your language and describe your personality accurately. Pay attention to your choice of words when describing yourself. If you're a rather reserved person, don't describe yourself as being energetic and out-going. Instead, focus on your personality traits which relate to the position that you're applying for, while at the same time staying true to yourself.
5. Provide real references (not fake ones) It's important that your employment history follows with at least two references. Your resume references should reflect you both at a professional level and a personal level to help an employer understand your true employment performance and personality within the workplace. You don't want to leave your employer wondering who to contact. Include the name of your supervisor, name of the company and his/her position title, phone number (not mobile), as well as an email address. Make sure your references are suitable for your resume and they are legitimate as some employers do play due diligence and will check your references if they need further clarification on your abilities or character.
At the end of the day, your goal shouldn't be to target the best position available. Your main goal should be targeting the job that matches your career and personality, as this gives you an opportunity to make use of your skills and experiences in a way that benefits yourself as well as the employer.

I broke up with you a month ago, and I've felt no loss, no pain, no sting, and no gain.
We dated for years, and I saw your face each day and your lips on my neck each week. Coupling with you in bed wasn't my favorite, as my intimacy came from the warmth of the blankets, the sound of the waitress asking us for our orders, and the smell of morning coffee.
Several times you asked me, "Are you sure I'm the one you want?: and I said "Yes, I love you, and I'm with you because I want you." and you said "Okay."
I'm twenty five, and when my eighteen year old cat died, my Earth began to break and my sky began to shatter. Even with you by my side at night, I lost sleep, unable to feel safe, with my stuffed animals as a poor substitute for the furry round mass that used to purr against my chest, arms, and legs until I fell asleep.
You didn't understand, as you were never a pet person. That was okay. I still had you to greet me when I left for work and beg me not to go. You were still there to ask me to make dinner and to watch over me while I was sweating with fever. You were still there when I slept.
It wasn't long until I lost my job too, being gently let go be cause I just wasn't fitting in anymore, or was it because I could no longer fulfill my duties, or was it cutbacks, or because I wasn't interested in meeting the boss' son for dinner last weekend?
As expected, I couldn't seem to find work. You stayed to support me until I found work, work that I barely tolerated, where I loved on a good day and had meltdowns on a bad day and I didn't need you to calm me down and I didn't want you to be around when I celebrated. My heart grew distant, and I didn't care for work much longer.
As my life dulled, my feelings for you dulled as well. Our love no longer brought me joy, and in time, I started to feel my resentment growing. I turned to my friends for all my needs, my intimacy, my companionship, everything but the sex I didn't need and you seemed fine with it until you weren't.
I had to leave before you grew to resent me too. You cried, begging me not to leave, because you could take care of me, I didn't drink that much, let me have you again, I know you're sad but I want to support you, but I said no, not because I was too depressed, too unfeeling, too dangerous, but for a reason I couldn't say. In the morning, I found the empty bottles littering the living room. I'm sorry, but at the same time, I am not. I wouldn't say that I just didn't want to date you anymore, after five years of bliss.
I found another place to live, where I fueled irresponsible purchases with the money I made at a job I could barely stand. I drank to drink and smoked to smoke and cried as I hugged my pillows, wishing I could feel something, anything, even if just for a moment.
Six months and I was still the same. I laid in bed, the room beginning to spin because of how much I had drank that night, tears threatening to fill my eyes when I felt a small thump, and an excited rumble begin to erupt from her tiny body. She crawled onto my chest and rubbed her tiny, hot body against my face and licked and chewed my hair and made her unconditional love known to me as I gently ran my fingers through her impossibly soft kitten fur. She only grew to be more affectionate and to show me affection more fiercely than before, almost as if she knew that my body was beginning to starve from the lack of touched.
I smiled, because she was the only one to make me feel anything.

Floyd's Threat
The police reaction changed over time. Early on, detectives from the
local police said they do not have enough evidence to suggest foul play,
they still called in the Essex County prosecutor's office, which
routinely investigates homicides.
Friends and family claimed the police initially didn't take the
disappearance seriously, delaying a serious search for six days. Police
officials said they began the investigation within an hour of the
"When the police heard she was a dancer, they thought she was some kind
of flake," Melissa said. "They tried to tell us she might have gone into
drug rehab."
Sue, as indicated in one report claimed she had made plans to enter
rehab to become "a better Godmother" to Melissa's child. "The whole
thing felt wrong right from the start," said O'Keefe early in the
investigation. "I've been trying to nudge them into taking this
investigation seriously, but something else seems to be nudging them the
other way, and I can't tell you what that is." When interviewed in July,
the nearly hysterical Martha said the police interviewed "Lots and lots"
of people, but could find no definitive answers.
"It's been abject terror, almost too much pain bear," she said. "The
only thing that's worse is not knowing where she is, would be knowing
she's gone."
But as quoted from an August account, police chief Robert Delitta said
he had followed very possible lead and left no stone unturned. Delitta
said Nutley detectives have spent long hour interviewing friends and
relatives of Walsh, but came up empty.
"There are all kinds of scenarios that could have occurred," Delitta
said. "We're just looking for a break."
But friends and neighbors claimed for months that the police were doing
enough to help. Sue's neighbors said the police never even bothered
interviewing them.
"They shouted up at me the first time they showed up," said Rizzo, Sue's
upstairs neighbor. "They wanted to know which apartment Sue lived in. I
told them. After that, none of us heard from them again."
Two weeks after Sue's July 16 disappearance, the police came back with
plastic gloves and proceeded to search the apartment, and according to
one source removed her computer and other possible written documents.
"But why was the computer the only thing they removed from that
apartment?" asked Weissman when confronting me and O'Keefe towards the
end of our association in November.
In summing up the information about the investigation at that point, we
saw no progress by the police -- though later we learned they had
searched extensively areas of Newark, even New York, as well as sections
of Newark. They had talked to Sue's live-in boyfriend, Christian and
questioned Sue's husband, Mother, father, friends and ex-boyfriends.
While media attention may have kept the police's nose to the grind
stone, it did not make information more easily to obtain. After the
filming of Unsolved Mysteries, we got little from official sources. Ray
Weiss, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office was not forthcoming with
a great deal of information, either, and even apparently withheld
information from Joel three months later after Unsolved Mysteries aired.
Joel in his research for the article destined to never appear in the
pages of New Jersey Monthly had requested information from the Newark
office of the prosecutor as to possible leads and sightings. The office
told him the program had produced no fruitful leads, a statement
contradicted by later reports. Joel never pressed the matter. But then,
he was trying to prove Sue dead, an ignored much more compelling
evidence to the contrary.
Even when the police later said flatly that they -- like the Dorothy
Allison, the psychic -- did not believe Sue dead, Joel refused to
believe, maintaining his agenda to prove Sue dead at all costs.
By the end of November, Floyd was apparently so frustrated he confused
who his friends were and who were his enemies, once more hinting aonce
more hinting at the kind of confusion Sue routinely inspired among those
closest to her -- making me wonder if Floyd was not secretly in
communication with Sue or did Sue's diaries that that much an affect on
him that she could shape his thinking in s
"Recent press accounts regarding the disappearance of Susan Walsh, a
36-year-old Nutley mother who vanished last July, are enraging the
family of the missing woman," wrote James Zoccoli in the November 26
edition of the Nutley Sun.
"Some creeps want to exploit this incident," Floyd told Zoccoli. "I'm
angry about the news coverage."
In a confusing passage, Zoccoli also wrote: "Merchant pointed to reports
published in area newspapers implying that authorities have not
adequately investigated the disappearance, and also that Walsh has a
long history of disappearing."
"She never disappeared before," Floyd told Zoccoli, though Floyd was
hardly in a position to know what Sue had done before he rescued her
from Show World, since Floyd was not around to witness anything since
his divorce from Sue's mother when Sue was two.
Floyd went on to say that my website had influenced the FBI, convincing
them to stay out of the case.
"The FBI has picked up on this," he said, adding that he had spoken to a
federal agent investigating the rumors.
"Merchant said he believes the charges are absurd, but added that if
true, the FBI should take over the investigation," Zoccoli wrote.
FBI spokesperson Ann Todd told Zoccoli that she had no information
regarding the matter.
"Right now it's a missing person's case," Todd said.
Floyd, aiming his accusations directly at me, said he had retained an
attorney to determine the legal liability of any publication that prints
false and misleading information regarding his daughter.
"I'm wondering if they're guilty of obstruction of justice," he said. "I
might try to interest the police in criminal charges against the
As I read this all this, I wondered if Floyd intended to file charges
against me with the same police he himself accused of not investigating
the matter thoroughly. But then, he appears more interested in forcing
the FBI into a case where it has no jurisdiction.
But the confused Floyd managed to show that he was not being mean in
this attack, a fact I have believed from the beginning. He told Zoccoli
that he was not interested in seeking damages against me.
The Nutley police, who have been picked on since the beginning over this
investigation, also took offense to some of the things said about their
handling of the matter. Nutley police chief Robert DeLitta said his
department consaid about their handling of the matter. Nutley polic
"We follow each and ever lead," he said, noting that the detectives had
logged long hours of overtime to locate Sue.
Floyd told Zoccoli that he believed Sue "was not herself" and that she
had fallen back into old alcoholic habits. While hopeful that his
daughter will still be found, he also feared she might be "gone
Unfortunately for Floyd, who I believe is a good wholesome person at
heart, he was striking out at everyone and anyone, without thinking
about who was really on his side. On one hand he accused the police of
not doing enough to find his daughter, on the other hand, he threatened
to use those police to attack reporters who were actively trying to
protect the public interest by finding out the truth behind Sue's
While accusing us of exploiting his daughter's situation, Floyd
cooperated wholeheartedly with Unsolved Mysteries -- called in by Red
Light's author, James Ridgeway -- and their plans to display Sue's
sexual interests on national television.
In desperation to blame somebody for Sue's disappearance, Floyd and
others have not only attacked the reporters seeking to find out the
truth but also the police.
While some evidence suggests the police may have been slow to
investigate the situation, and that politics interfered with the
investigation once it started, the police did investigate. While this
may have been the result of media pressure, outside agencies did get
involved, not to much to find Sue, but to determine whether or not a
crime had been committed.
When the police thought Sue might have met with foul play, they came and
questioned Mark and Christian, sought out Billy Walker, and checked on
the apartment where Sue lived. They checked public phone records to find
out who might have called her. When they found out one of the patrons
from a central New Jersey bar stalked her, they sent police detectives
there to check it out. When Sue sightings began, Nutley police sent
personnel to Newark, and then later to New York City.
The fact is that many of the participants in searching for Sue stopped
once Unsolved Mysteries came and filmed them for the January show. Part
of this giving up, may have been exhaustion. But this also fits the
pattern of behavior typical in missing persons cases.
"At first, everybody gets excited and runs around, looking here and
there," said an official from one of the missing person's networks on
the internet. "Then, they get used to the idea, and they get wrapped up
in their own lives."
The police, too, might have grown tired of chasing rumors, of Sue's
supposed appearance here and there, like some mad game of tag or hide &
seek, with Sue's blonde head popping up at this place or that, just to
keep people's interest.
But suggestions that the police made no effort to find Sue were simply
wrong. Early on, they invaded clubs in Central Jersey where they
confronted club owners like Carol Stella of "Shake Her Lounge" in
Dunellen. They talked to bartenders, they talked to patrons, they even
talked to the other dancers, without success. Nutley even called in the
Essex County prosecutor's office widening the scope of the
Floyd and others claim the police have not done enough to find Sue. But
finding Sue has never been the purpose of the police investigation. The
purpose was to find out if a crime had been committed, and since no
evidence has surfaced to prove Sue left Nutley against her will, the
police had gone out of their way to pursue the case, offering far more
than they should in helping find Sue.
This conclusion contradicts editorials by O'Keefe in the Nutley Journal,
and probably didn't sit well with Floyd or Sue's friends. But it is not
the job of the police to find missing people, only to determine if
someone caused that person harm.
I learned this the hard way when after I searched and searched for my
uncle in 1985. When I found him on the Paterson police station steps
without shoes or blanket, I went and complained to then Mayor Frank X.
Graves Jr.
Graves was one of the most powerful men in the state and I knew him
briefly from my time as a reporter on the Paterson News, and knew him
better later when I worked for the Today chain of weeklies as the
Paterson reporter. He sat me down in his office and asked me honestly
what I expected the police to do?
"Find my uncle," I said. "That's why I filed a missing person's report."
"And you think because you file that report that every cop in every
police district will put down everything and start looking for your
uncle?" Graves asked me.
"Well, sort of," I said, only then thinking of just how silly my own
wishes sounded when repeated back at me by Graves.
"Well the police won't," Graves said. "That is not what we pay them to
do. We don't live in a police state. Police are paid to fight crime, not
keep track of our citizens. I mean, I feel bad for you and your family,
and the police can assist you when we can. But we can't do the work of
searching every nook and cranny until we find him."
The words shocked me, and I might even have said "But..."
Graves held up his hand.
"I'm not through," he said. "I don't mean to be unkind. But the police
get blasted again and again by citizens who criticize them unfairly.
Sure, you can go to the newspapers and embarrass my department by saying
your uncle got robbed on the police station steps. You can have them
publish his stocking feet on the front page. But that won't change
reality, it'll only cause morale problems among men and women already
overworked. If your uncle is sick, then it is up to the family to find
him help, up the family to put him in a hospital or find him a doctor
that will make him better. But to expect a town, state or even federal
government to protect someone from everything, especially something they
might do to themselves is insane. The police department isn't welfare,
here to rescue people from themselves, or even find them when they don't
want to be found. It is not our function to put out every police car to
search every street looking for missing people, especially when those
people are like your uncle and want to be missing. Without evidence that
a crime has been committed or the threat that a crime might be
committed, the police are helpless."
Graves said we in America lived in a free society and that under the
constitution, people had the right to go where they wanted and when they
wanted without interference by legal authorities.
"And that's true even if family members want them found," Graves said.
"You have no more right to restrict your uncle's freedoms than I do, and
you have no right to demand that the police department do so"
And this said in 1985 about my uncle could well be said again at the end
of 1996 about Sue. And though Floyd threatened to press charges against
me, and Joel began to stir up sources to prove Sue dead, her history
showed she had muddied the water herself, making it impossible to know
for certain whether she was alive or dead. But by pointing this out, by
telling the truth about her past, me, O'Keefe and others were providing
Floyd with one last chance at hope, the chance that Sue may indeed have
faked her own demise and was out there somewhere, waiting, watching,
perhaps even laughing, but alive. And by years end, she may indeed, have
been rubbing her hands in anticipation of how her life would be painted
on national TV.

Four suspected militants capitulate in Ashulia 'militant den' raid
Four suspected militants capitulated to members of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) during an anti-militant raid on a den at Chakalgram-Chourapara in Ashuliaon Sunday.
Rab Director (legal and media wing) Mufti Mahmud Khan said the four militants who are aged between 20 and 22, capitulated to the elite force in the afternoon as they were asked to do so through a loudspeaker, reports UNB.
Mufti said the militants fired gunshots and hurled explosives several times at the law enforcers since they fenced off the one-storey house at about1:00 am.
For security measures, the local residents were shifted to a safer place, while check-posts were established at important points on the surrounding roads.
In the meantime, the elite force held house owner, Ibrahim, added Mufti.

Flag in Suitcase
Immigration Initiative
When New Sanctuary Coalition invited artists to produce installations for the
Deportee Suitcase March
on July 26th, Xavier's own Lourdes Bernard created the piece pictured below, which she titled, Flag in a Suitcase. Here is Lourdes' reflection about her piece:
Flag in a Suitcase
"The 1930's suitcase was donated by an antique shop on Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, Collier West. The 1930's was another period of mass deportation of Mexicans and Mexican-American children during which over one-half million were deported from the USA. This preceded the internment of Japanese Americans by ten years. The suitcase contained 65 year-old newspapers, left inside because the headlines eerily match our current headlines: war and occupation, racism, and our precarious relationship with Russia.
The battered suitcase represents our battered and broken immigration policy. The suitcase itself contains a visual narrative that addresses why so many people are fleeing Central America. These images highlight the following: why immigrants flee (typically because of war and violence with US foreign policy as a catalyst); the authoritarian governments they seek asylum from; the current administration's animus towards immigrants from Latin America and other people of color; the government policy of separating families; and the dreams that immigrants carry with them as they leave what is familiar behind. For long-time immigrant-residents, the good news is that these dreams are often realized once they arrive, which makes deportation such a blow.
These images are carried in the suitcase, along with a Dominican flag, to highlight a quote by Jeff Sessions made on the Senate floor prior to becoming Attorney General. The suitcase acts as a plinth as the flag unfurls out of the suitcase and the images unfold around the suitcase, creating a contemplative space that the viewer may move around. The physical movement invites the viewer to engage the complex issues surrounding immigration. As the viewer walks around and discovers this historical narrative, the circular movement also echoes the movement of displacement and deportation."

Brining the fish in water with salt and sugar heightens its natural flavor, but it also provides a little added insurance that the fish will remain moist, even if it's slightly overcooked. Mackerel has a firm texture and full-bodied flavor, making it a perfect candidate for the grill.
How to Make It
Combine the wine and raisins in a small bowl; let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cut 3 shallow slits in the skin side of the fillets. Sprinkle fillets with 1 teaspoon salt. Add 2 fillets, skin sides down, to skillet, and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; turn fish. Let stand 3 minutes. Transfer cooked fillets to a 13- x 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Discard oil from skillet. Repeat procedure with 2 tablespoons of the oil and remaining 2 fillets. Wipe skillet clean with paper towels.
Heat the remaining 3/4 cup oil in skillet over medium. Add the bell pepper, onion, and pine nuts to skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and pine nuts are lightly toasted, about 7 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Add the eggplant; sauté 1 minute. Add raisin mixture, vinegar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt to skillet, and cook until mixture is slightly syrupy, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour sauce mixture over fillets; cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve at room temperature with baguette slices. (Or cover and refrigerate fillets overnight, allowing the fish to come to room temperature before serving.)

Marbely Barahona: We Wondered How His Future Would BeDecember 10, 2018
Today was the day.
As parents of a deaf child, we always wondered how his future would be.
At some point, we felt overwhelmed, sad and very hopeless. We remember those days that we couldn't see a clear future for him.
Today, he left from our nest and found his own wings. It was hard to let him go, but we knew he was ready.
He is ready because we didn't let anyone dictate our choices.
He is ready because we never let him feel less capable of doing something, because we worked days and nights incessantly to make sure he developed a language.
He is ready because he had people around him that truly cared: teachers, audiologists, professionals and a wonderful organization, Hands & Voices where we together as a family learned so much and never again felt alone in this journey.
He is ready because we encouraged him to make friends, those that last forever, because he took advantage of every moment, every challenge, every adventure.
This is just a new beginning for him, there is still a lot more to do, only that this time he will do it by himself, he will advocate for himself and he will become a man.

The "Letting Go" Moments of ParenthoodJanuary 22, 2017
When my first child was born, I wasn't prepared for the experience of my heart being wrenched out during the moments of learning to "let go." The first time my husband and I went out for dinner and left the baby with grandparents, I was excited for about twenty minutes. Then I started wondering, "I wonder if he's crying? (he was going through the colicky stage), did I leave enough breast milk? Will they remember to change his diaper?" and so on.
The first time I let go of my toddler's hand to take his first steps, he faceplanted hard on the carpet. When the second and third kid came along, I was much more cautious about letting go and waited until I thought they could master the walking thing. Some of that wisdom comes from experience the second time around, and some of it comes from being patient and knowing the time when the kid was ready to master it on his/her own. That's the fine line of parenting and letting go–figuring out that magic formula and timing.
We live in an era of Helicopter Parenting–parents who hold the reins of parenting so tight that the kid has little opportunity to learn on their own and make mistakes. But here's the thing, letting go is a vital part of the parenting transition that enables a child to achieve maximum growth in all areas of life.
When my oldest son was around five, we were at a McDonalds (I know, I know) playland and he asked for an ice cream cone. I gave him the cash and he went up to the counter to order his ice cream. Another parent who was with me was flabbergasted.
"You let him order by himself?"
My oldest son is deaf, and from an early age I wanted him to be independent and competent just like any other kid. I stood back and watched as he ordered his own ice cream. He came triumphantly walking back happily devouring his cone. The other parent continued to order for her deaf child for YEARS after that. She just could not let go and allow her kid to struggle with the ordering process. It was far easier for her to speak for her child and do the ordering.
The struggle is part of the process. In fact, it's probably one of the most valuable aspects of the parenting gig–letting your child navigate the world and the challenges on their own is one of the most valuable gifts you can give your kid. The letting go stuff is hard. It's so much easier to do for, or hold on–and wait for a better time or more maturity–before letting go. Yet, by letting go, our kids gain skills and experiences that they wouldn't have if we didn't hover so darn hard over them.
The first time I let a child take off with the car and a newly-minted driver's license my heart was in my throat. And no, it did not become easier with each child because I was reliving all my fears, doubts, and scary thoughts with each child. But the only way around the fear of letting go is to…let go.
And the first time they leave home…oh my…that's the ultimate letting go.
Letting go often means giving up control, and that can be so darned tough at times. Here are some tips for navigating those parenting transitions that involve letting go:
Shift Your Perspective:
Instead of seeing the letting go process as a loss of control, focus on the gain from it: increased independence, learning, and growth. Each time you "let go" and allow your child to experience something new and unknown, both of you grow in the process. Yes, your child may make mistakes or chose poor outcomes as a result, but the lessons learned can strengthen both of you. You can actually stunt your child's growth by holding back instead of letting go.
Connect with Other Parents:
One of the easiest ways to handle the letting go process is to connect and talk with other parents who have been there or are going through the same process. You will often find that "hindsight advice" is spot on and this will help ease the parenting transition. Knowing that you aren't alone in the "letting go" process can be comforting.
Connect with Deaf and Hard of Hearing Adults:
When you're early in the parenting journey with your Deaf/Hard of hearing child, it can be difficult to see into the future years because you're just trying to get through the day to day stuff. Take the opportunity to meet Deaf/Hard of hearing adults. This is a wonderful way to get questions answered, to see different perspectives and experiences, and to gain knowledge that would otherwise be difficult to find on your own. Take some time to scour the web for stories of Deaf/Hard of Hearing adults in various professions and activities and share them with your child.

Letting Go, The Hardest Part of ParentingAugust 26, 2015
From the moment our kids are born, our parenting journey is one of letting go.
Do you remember the first time you let go of your wobbly toddler for that first step? The first time you let someone babysit your child? The first time you let your teenager drive alone?
Letting go is hard. Letting go means we're no longer in control of the parenting stuff.
When my daughter called me earlier in the spring, she informed me she was no longer going to pursue the college path. Her heart was set on acting and she wanted to find a way to pursue her passion.
"Ok, so what's your plan?" I asked.
She didn't really have one. She was going to come home after the semester ended and figure it out. She might move to New York City and live with her cousin. She might try and get a job in Los Angeles and live with a friend. She just knew she wasn't going to go back to college. Acting school, maybe.
As a parent, I wrestled with a whole range of emotions. The parent side of me screamed, "oh-my-gosh-she's-gonna-have-a-tough-life-without-a-degree!" The Passion Coach side of me calmly whispered, "let her have her journey, she'll figure it out."
My conversations with my daughter showcased the whole range of those emotions and thoughts. During one conversation, I was calm and rational, even positive. During other conversations, I brought out the "play it safe" cards and the "get your degree first–after that you can do whatever you want" rationality. I think I said some not-so-nice things.
"How can you tell others to follow their passions if you won't let your own daughter follow her heart?" she asked me.
Yes, she called me on it.
And she was right. I had to let go. This was her journey. Even if I pulled the parenting card and insisted she stay in college, I knew it would create the biggest thorn between us. She had been miserable with school since fourth grade and we had plenty of battles over it.
As the end of summer rolled around, the plan was still unclear. My daughter even had moments of self-doubt, of wondering what direction to go in next.
Then out of the blue, she found an audition for Spring Awakening on Broadway. Without a single bit of hesitation, she booked a flight.
The moment she FaceTimed me to tell me the news, a swing role on Broadway, I suddenly understood why this process of letting go is so important: it's the only way to grow.
I'm all too aware it could have gone the other way and the journey would have taken another twist and turn. That's how it works, that's how life unfolds.

post by Lynn
If I'm cornered and asked that oh-so-annoying question, "What kind of writer are you?" I'll usually answer that I'm an essayist and blogger.
So then why do I belong to the WyoPoets organization, and why am I going to their 2018 Spring Workshop in Cheyenne on April 28th?
Because sometimes I write poems.
Because I learn so much from the poets I meet.
Because I love the way poetry turns my brain upside down and helps me see new things while I'm all upside-down-ey.
So I am going to try to convince you that even if you are primarily a prose writer, like me, you should consider dabbling in poetry.
Starting with…
1. Writing poetry helps you learn how to capture emotion on the page.
"A poem begins as a lump in the throat… a homesickness."- Robert Frost
Wordsworth called poetry "the spontaneous overflow of feelings." If a prose writer is occasionally accused of stilted writing, studying poetry will help him/her to overcome that tendency. I have found that if I can't figure out what an essay is really about—what is at the heart of it—writing a poem can help me zoom in on the emotional core of the story.
2. Writing poetry encourages you to write in sensory language
… and that's good for all forms of writing.
"Poetry is good because it flexes muscles you don't often use enough. Poetry keeps you aware of your nose, your eye, your tongue, your hand."- Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing
Bad poetry is abstract and unclear. Good poetry encapsulates a single moment or image and presents it to the reader intact and pulsating with life.
We need more of that in all of our writing, don't you think?
3. Poetry experiments with form
… and that helps a writer learn to experiment with form in other styles of writing.
Ghazel, sestina, rhyming (and not), cinquain, acrostic, haiku or sonnet--poets have, through the centuries, come up with thousands of ways to stitch a poem together.
As writers, we can all get stuck in certain styles, formulas and formats. Poetry encourages me to break out and try new ways of organizing words. Because of poetry's (usually) short form (not a huge investment of time in writing a first draft) I'm more apt to be playful and experimental.
4. Poetry encourages you to pay attention to rhythm, sound and pacing in a piece of writing
In linguistics it's called "prosody" and in poetry we learn to use intonation, rhythm, the sounds of consonants and vowels, stressed and unstressed syllables in ways that enhance the meaning of the poem.
Poets learn to use punctuation and line breaks to control the pace at which a poem is read (out loud or in your head).
They use assonance (putting words with similar vowel sounds together) to produce a flowing, musical effect, or sharp consonance (repetition of similar consonants) to jar people awake.
These are all skills that can absolutely be transferred to prose… hallelujah, amen.
5. Poetry pushes you to focus and condense
Poems don't allow for long lead-ins, so they teacg a writer to jump right in where the story-image starts. What's more, learning how to edit and revise a poem is great training for editing and revising longer prose pieces.
Poetry also encourages you to read close, and slow, and in this all-in-a-rush world, that's a very good thing.
Poets geek out on things like connotation and denotation. (See a post on the topic at This Itch of Writing.)
Poets are aware that using long Latinate words, with a multitude of syllables, will tend to impart more formality to a piece of writing, while short ones that sound like how folks talk are more informal.
I think Samuel Taylor Choleridge nailed it when he said, "Prose: words in their best order; poetry: the best words in the best order."
A writing friend chimes in…
Jim Littwin is a writer I "met" when he submitted a poem to Watch My Rising: A Recovery Anthology. Like me, he is a big fan of studying poetry to improve your writing overall.
I quote from his comments…
Because so much depends on word choice in poems, because by its very nature poetry is a more concentrated and condensed form of writing, because poetry is necessarily imagistic, and because poetry is expressed in narrative, lyrical, metaphysical, and surrealistic manners (to name just a few) and in a wide variety of traditional (rhyming and unrhyming) forms, as well as in free verse, organic poems, prose poems, and other "experiments," poetry in itself is a veritable "art institute" of many galleries, each one offering experiences that can awe us, enrich us, inspire us, and teach us about life and writing in a relatively small space, each poem a "canvas" that we can get lost in, then emerge from, changed forever as both persons and writers. (Whew!)
Yes, yes, poems, by their very nature, demonstrate effective writing strategies and skills.
Yeah... what he said.
We could go on and on about how poetry can make you a better prose writer, but let's not.
|My co-blogger Susan, reading her off-the-cuff poem
at last year's workshop
For all the reasons above.
And also because the workshop is so damned reasonable ($50 before April 14th, a mere $55 after).
And because Art Elser is the workshop leader. (You won't find a more delightful combination of sagacity, sly humor and humility in a single person, I guarantee.)
|Here's that sly fella I mentioned who will guide us through the
"Art and Craft of Poetry"
and as a bonus, share his experiences in
publishing his own poetry.
For more information on WyoPoet's Spring Workshop, "The Art and Craft of Poetry," visit www.wyopoets.org.
I often use poems as a writing prompt when it's my turn to provide one to my writing group.
Try this poem/prompt and see where it leads you, and let's all say "Thanks!" to Jim Littwin for loaning us this fine poem.
Lost Gospel
by Jim Littwin
And at that time
Jesus broke away from us
and waded into weeds,
plastic bags,
and broken glass
under a billboard
and knelt beside
a drunken man
curled and cursing,
shivering in his own sickness.
There in the dirt
Jesus sat him up
and said words to him
we couldn't hear,
for we wouldn't go near.
And the man did not
stop drinking immediately
thereafter, but followed us
at a distance,
from that day.
And sometimes,
Jesus would wave us away
and turn to walk with that man,
to ask him questions,
then listen and listen.
--"Lost Gospel" was originally published in Watch My Rising: A Recovery Anthology
Prompt question:
What would you add as a "lost gospel"? Or what lost chapter, idea or element would you add to another work, such as the Chronicles of Narnia, The Odyssey, Crime and Punishment or another classic?

Ryan was cruising along the highway when a truck suddenly went out of control and skidded along the road. Unfortunately, Ryan was not able to escape unharmed because his car slammed at the back of the truck and rolled over several times before stopping. The accident left Ryan hospitalized for several months and he has already filed a lawsuit against the driver of the truck. The investigation gave Ryan a good chance of winning the lawsuit.
Not Enough Financial Resources
What happens if you do not have enough financial resources to keep you afloat while you are injured and waiting for the final settlement? Ryan does not have any large savings to help him with all his medical bills and daily expenses. The best solution for this situation is to apply for pre-settlement funding . This funding will provide you with extra money to pay for all your living and medical expenses.
What This Funding Can Do for You?
Auto accident lawsuits can drag on for a long time in court. Sometimes, it can take a year before an auto accident victim receives any settlement. In Ryan's case, he was depending on his bartending job to earn money but since he was hospitalized for several months, he could not go to work and get paid. His financial resources were very limited so he looked for reliable settlement funding companies to ask for additional funding. The funding he received made him more determined to see the case through and reject the lower settlement offered by the defendant.
How to Get the Funding
It is very easy to get your lawsuit cash advance. The funding company will take a look at your case and determine whether you have a strong chance of getting a good settlement. Most auto accident lawsuits have a high chance of winning the case, especially if the defendant was drunk or he was driving dangerously. The funding company will contact your lawyer for the details of the lawsuit. You won't pay anything because they will only get paid when you receive the final settlement.
Making the Right Decision
Ryan won the case and received a large sum of settlement money. According to him, he made the right decision of getting the litigation funding because it helped him during those critical times when he wanted to give up and just take the early lower settlement. You too can make the right decision by applying for this type of funding.
