Chaim Rumkowski
To some Chaim Rumkowski was a man of immense courage. To others he is simply a traitor; a Jew who worked with the Nazis and assisted them in the Final Solution.
The Jews Who Fought For Hitler
This is the unexpected story of the Jews who fought for Hitler.
The Good Collaborators?
This episode explores the Finnish Nazi collaborators and dispels the myth they were good collaborators not involved in many war crimes. It details war crimes committed by the Waffen SS Finnish soldiers and explores the depth of the Finnish denial.
Pierre Laval
Pierre Laval was a French politician who developed a close relationship with Adolf Hitler and proposed that the two countries should collaborate. He is still one of the most detested men in French history.
The Croatian Collaborator
Dinko Sakic ran one of the most brutal and notorious death camps of World War Two. Between 400,000 and 800,000 people were killed in the name of a free Croatia. The brutality of the crimes appalled even the Nazis.
Vidkun Quisling
Throughout the war, Quisling cruelly oppressed the people of Norway and urged them to fight for Nazi Germany. He even oversaw the execution of dissenters and collaborated in the deportation to Auschwitz of Norwegian Jews
The Greek Collaborator
During the Nazi occupation of Greece, Ioannis Rallis was one of three men who ran the country's Government, effectively a puppet regime installed to do Adolf Hitler's bidding.
The Arajs Kommando
During World War Two, a gang of merciless Latvians rampaged throughout their country on behalf of the Nazi's.
The Dutch Collaborator
On 10th May 1940 Germany invaded Holland. Hitler's Blitzkreig or lightning war took neutral Holland completely by surprise. Anton Mussert, leader of the right wing national socialist movement, known as the NSB, offered his support to the occupiers.
Hitler's Killer Police
During the Nazi occupation of the Soviet Union the collaborators of Lithuania and the Ukraine became a vital part of Hitler's genocide against the Jews.
The Belgian Collaborator
In any other age, Leon Degrelle would have been a hero. He was rich, young, charismatic. He ended up however a resolute Nazi Collaborator and soon became embroiled in murder.
The IRA Conspiracy
Just eight months before the outbreak of World War Two a series of terrorist attacks were felt all over England. This was the work of an Irish terrorist group, The I.R.A. and as war approached, the Nazis took a keen interest in their activities.
Of those individuals who have been accused of collaboration with Hitler and the Nazis during World War two, it is perhaps Mohammed Amin al-Husseini who is the most controversial of all.

Icy waters and snow have replaced the long, sweltering days of summer. Some sailors prefer the challenge of cold weather and set sail eagerly. Others, however, are not as inclined, in which case a sabbatical to the Mediterranean climate of Greece may be in order.
The average daily temperature in Greece during the warm season, June through September, is 83 degrees Fahrenheit. The short cold season averages a temperature that rarely dips below 60 degrees. Greece and all of its island wonders are optimal destinations to travel to during the winter. This guide brings you the five best locations to island-hop in Greece that will keep the captain, crew, and passengers entertained no matter the length of the journey.
Santorini is known for romantic getaways, stunning sunsets, and amazing island-hopping. With beaches of red and black sand, surrounded by crisp blue and white architecture, this island is at the top of any vacationer's list. The steep cliffs, clear waters, and green fields of the island, along with stunning sunsets, complete the renowned landscape. Explore Perissa and Oia, book a catamaran charter, or rent kayaks for an adventure in Santorini. Yachting and cruising among the islands will make for a relaxing vacation on Santorini.
The largest of the Greek islands, Crete will host any boater with ease. Renting a boat in Crete is a great way to spend time on the island. The population of approximately 650,000 is spread across the island, enticing travelers with culture, tasty cuisine, secluded villages, and tourist attractions. If you are cruising the shoreline, pristine beaches and crystal clear water are in abundance. Kayaking is also a popular daytime attraction while island exploration and day excursions by watercraft offer endless exploration.
Boasting the best beaches in the country and a lively nightlife, boaters that choose to visit Mykonos will have the best of both worlds. Catamaran charters are popular in Mykonos and are great for day trips and island hopping. Beautiful beaches, immaculate waters, and dreamy landscapes will optimize relaxation while the fast-paced evenings, full of fine dining and dancing, will entertain all night.
Hydra Island's ban on high-rise buildings, cars, and motorbikes is only one of the reasons it attracts locals and travelers alike. The island's largely uninhabited interior sets the stage for quaint villages on the shores of the island. A smattering of small monasteries, galleries, and museums in 18th-century mansions demonstrates the quiet pace of everyday life on Hydra. Most of the beaches are rocky or pebbly, but that does not stop sunbathers from choosing a favorite and lounging in the sun.
Milos is an island defined by its landscape of prominent sea-shaped rocks in gold, brown, and sandy-white hues. The island's beaches add more color in splashes of red, white, gray, and gold. White-washed fishing villages or quiet towns make perfect day excursions while exploration of the many coves the island has to offer is a viable option by watercraft.
Alonnisos boasts Greece's first national marine park. The main city where you can rent a boat is Patitiri. The stark white, cubed architecture of the villages, the pine forests, and rolling green hills set it apart from many of its neighboring rocky islands. Various coves and bays offer refuge from the open (yet tranquil all the same) sea while white beaches against the turquoise waters make for a memorable landscape. Nearby islands include Skopelos and Skiathos and both make for great day trips.
Kastelorizo is the smallest of the Greek islands and it is inhabited year-round. It is also the furthest from Athens. Small, colorful houses complement the turquoise sea and white beaches that surround the Island. Kastelorizo excursions include the Blue Grotto, a sea cave lit by refracted sunlight, and St. George for sunbathing or snorkeling. Hiking is abundant in the interior, and the local fares will not disappoint.
The island of Ithaca lives up to its mythological history as the homeland of Homer's Odysseus. A gem in the turquoise sea, this island is both lush, covered with dense forests, as well as barren, boasting intermittent sand dunes. This island makes for a perfect educational pit stop on any boater's island-hopping adventure, riddled with hiking and cycling paths that wind through the scenery sprinkled with ruins.
While Syros has a favorite of tourists in the past, Athenians have recently been taken with its charm. This tiny island is brimming with Greek fare, music, and culture. Outside of the small port cities that line the coasts, climbing the stairs to the top of St. George Church presents a breathtaking panoramic view of the six neighboring islands. After descending to the shorelines, visiting the islands closest to Syros is the next step.
So if you are a warm-blooded sailor, and want to dock for a day in a small village or stay anchored as sea in a small cove to get away from the chilly winter, Greece is the place for you. The diversity of the Greek islands, the robust culture and history as well as the fare make for a great escape for any boater.

MR70986.pdf - Accepted Version
This qualitative inquiry involving six adult participants and two facilitators (one for the study portion and one for artmaking) is an examination using ethnographic methods to determine what are the challenges that educators face when using the visual arts with a spiritually based curriculum at a grass-roots community level. The project demonstrated the importance of art education in facilitating learning and meaning-making using the Ruhi Curriculum, a curriculum used by Bahá'i communities worldwide. This study concluded with three major challenges related to bringing visual arts education into a spiritually based curriculum. These challenges included: connecting the visual arts to the spiritual context being taught; integrating the activities of both the study group (study circle) and artmaking group to make connections between the text and the arts; and issues concerning the challenges of team or partnership teaching involving two instructors (facilitators) working together towards a common goal.

Health Savings Accounts Gaining in Popularity
With recent changes in health care legislation, Health Savings Accounts (HSA) are gaining in popularity. These tax-favored accounts offer savings and investment opportunities to anyone with a qualifying high-deductible health insurance plan - currently a $1,200 minimum deductible for an individual plan and $2,400 for a family plan.
Once you open an HSA, you can place tax-deductible contributions into it which can then be used to pay qualified medical expenses. Annual contribution limits for 2012 are $3,100 for an individual and $6,250 for a family plus an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution for those who are age 55 and over and not enrolled in Medicare.
The definition of qualified medical expenses is fairly extensive and includes expenditures for eyeglasses, hearing aids, eye surgery including LASIK, smoking cessation programs, prescription drugs and insulin, weight-loss programs for treatment of a specific disease, diagnostic tests and long-term care expenses including premiums paid for long-term care insurance.
There's no "use it or lose it" rule with an HSA. You can use HSA funds to pay current health care expenses or build assets to pay for future expenses. Savings in an HSA grow tax-free and money withdrawn for qualified medical expenses is excludable from gross income.
Most Health Savings Accounts simply place invested assets in a low interest rate savings account but our Investment Center offers a product through a subsidiary of United Health Care that also permits investment in various mutual funds when a $500 minimum account balance is maintained. This can be an especially attractive alternative when HSA funds are being accumulated for future health care expenses.
Should you have questions or wish to learn more about Health Savings Accounts, Mike or Nancy in our Investment Center would be pleased to assist you.
6 Tips for New Home Buyers
If you are looking for a new home, or buying your first one, this may be an excellent time to buy. Interest rates are very low, home prices are appealing, and the U.S. housing market may be showing signs of recovery.
Following these 6 steps can help you make smart decisions and find the right house for the right price.
- Know your credit scores. Your credit score is incredibly important toward a home purchase. For starters, a score below 660 usually results in a higher interest rate or denial of credit. If your score is too low, start working diligently to rebuild it by paying every bill on time, paying down as much debt as possible and disputing any erroneous information on the report.
- Make sure you have enough saved for down payment. Whether or not you're a first time home buyer, a down payment is essential. Ideally, aim to put down 20 percent of the purchase price. If not, talk to your mortgage lender about other options.
- Know the real costs of being a first-time home buyer. In addition to mortgage payments, private mortgage insurance and escrow payments - the funds withdrawn to cover home insurance and taxes -can add a few hundred dollars or more a month to a mortgage payment. Also homeowners must pay for repairs and maintenance that accrue over time.
- Understand private mortgage insurance. Mortgages with less 20 percent down payment (or 20 percent equity) require private mortgage insurance in case the owner defaults on the loan. Once your home equity reaches 20 percent or greater, you can request to stop paying the additional insurance on a conventional mortgage.
- Don't stretch your budget too far. Standard guidelines call for keeping housing expenses below 35 percent of total income. If you are uncertain, wait to buy.
- Avoid a prepayment penalty on your mortgage. If the mortgage has a prepayment penalty, borrowers face hefty charges if they pay it off early. This provision also can be triggered by refinancing down the road. Review the Truth in Lending disclosures that your loan officer sends you prior to signing your loan.
If you have the money for a home, now is a great time to get a real bargain. One of our mortgage lenders will be happy to help you explore your home financing options.
Personal Finance Tip: Stop Paying ATM Surcharge Fees
At $2 to $3 per withdrawal, surcharge fees can add up. In fact, just one withdrawal per week can cost as much as $100-150 per year. Knowing where to find surcharge-free ATMs can save a bundle.
Your debit card from The Peoples Community Bank provides you access to more than 20,000 surcharge-free ATMs across the U.S.

The Independent: Twilight of the oil age: "We are currently sleepwalking into two crises that will have to be confronted simultaneously and soon: runaway global warming, and the running out of the world's oil supply.": Posted 20 September 2005
Published: 19 September 2005
The past 150 years have been a freakish epoch in human history. On the one hand, they have brought unprecedented prosperity; on the other, they have caused undreamt of - and potentially catastrophic- environmental change. Now, says Johann Hari, we must recognise the party is over and explains why our world is at a crossroads.
In September 2003, almost exactly two years after the massacres in New York City and Washington, DC, an even more ominous event occurred, although it featured on no front pages and inspired no rousing speeches from our leaders. The Ward Hunt ice shelf - the largest ice shelf in the Arctic, which had been in place for tens of thousands of years - suddenly ruptured and began to collapse. Warwick Vincent, a professor of biology at Laval university in Quebec, explained: "We'd been measuring incremental changes in the Arctic ice each year. Suddenly everything changed." The scientists witnessing the event later admitted to weeping with the same shock and grief felt by those who watched the Twin Towers fall to dust: this was global warming happening far more quickly than anyone had anticipated. Martin Jeffries, a professor of geophysics at the University of Alaska, said simply: "This kind of catastrophic event is quite unprecedented."
We are currently sleepwalking into two crises that will have to be confronted simultaneously and soon: runaway global warming, and the running out of the world's oil supply. The tale of how we came to this - how we set off on the road to the collapse of the Arctic and worse - begins on a bright white day in August 1859, when an old-time huckster called Edwin L Drake, standing on a farm in north-western Pennsylvania, became the first man ever to drill successfully for oil. Even when the black gold began to spurt, few people could have imagined Drake's discovery would end up powering the most vigorous, relentless, and ultimately dangerous part of the industrial revolution.
The discovery of vast reservoirs of oil below the earth's surface made an explosion of human productivity (and population) possible. Feats of travel, building and farming that were impossible before suddenly became easy with fossil fuel-powered technology. Millions of people were freed from the grinding, binding tedium of subsistence agriculture. Before the advent of oil drilling, poverty and hunger had been nearly universal: in the year of Drake's big find, the average European and American lived on 90 per cent of the resources used by the average African today. That's why - contrary to the beliefs of some weirdly reactionary versions of environmentalism - people did not burn up the earth's store of fossil fuels because they were "greedy" or "selfish". They did it because they were hungry and cold and desperate to live a decent life. It's easy to understand why they acted like this.
But there were two problems that lay dormant within this planetary experiment with fossil fuels, and their shape has finally become clear in the past 20 years. Oil is simply solar energy trapped by plant life millions of years ago, stored and repackaged by nature underneath the earth's surface. By releasing all that solar energy in a sudden burst over the space of just two centuries, humans unwittingly changed the physics and chemistry of the planet we live on. Levels of greenhouse gases - which trap heat in the atmosphere - nearly doubled, causing rising temperatures; a planetary fever. The results are now visible all over the world. All the hottest years on record have occurred in the past 15 years. The seasons are changing, with deadly results across the developing world. The peaks of Mount Kilimanajaro are now naked of snow for the first time in our own 10,000-year geological period.
Oil, it turned out, was an unintentional weapon of mass destruction. Many climatologists now warn that it has triggered a global warming "positive feedback loop". This is when a system begins to move in a certain direction, and then responds to this change in a way that makes the process faster and faster, like tossing more fuel into the engine of a runaway train. It sounds complicated, but in fact it is startlingly simple. Look at the world's ice cover. It currently acts like a mirror, reflecting heat radiated by the sun back into the atmosphere. But - because of global warming - it is melting away at a phenomenal rate (9 per cent a year on the Arctic Ocean, for example). So as the world warms, it is destroying its own cooling system, making the warming even more rapid.
As if this was not enough, there is a second crisis waiting for us, also set in train by Edwin L Drake's black discovery. At first, oil seemed to be infinitely abundant, a resource that would last until the end of time. So we built our lives on the assumption that the petrol party would never stop. We moved to suburbs that can only be reached by car, we became dependent on supply chains that fly T-shirts from Beijing to Boston, and we expanded our population numbers so we need, need, need massive petrol-fuelled megafarms to keep our stomachs full. We became petroholics.
But in the real world, the oil turned out to be finite. It is going to run out, in the next 30 to 40 years, no matter how much we may weep at the petrol pumps.
As New York Times writer James Howard Kunstler explains in his must-read book The Long Emergency: Surviving the Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century, many oil experts believe the world hit its oil production peak - the moment at which we had burned up half of the oil in the world - in 2004. And that was the stuff that was easy to find: the half that remains is in much harder-to-reach places, and a lot of it can't be mined at all because it takes more barrels of oil to drill and battle towards it than you could pump out.
This running-dry is occurring just as global demand for oil is spurting forward, with countries like China and India rapidly industrialising and (hardly unreasonably) demanding similar lifestyles to our own. We can expect the battle for the last remaining dregs of the fossil-fuel fantasia to be vicious.
In the long-term, this depletion of oil is obviously a good thing for humanity. Climatologists tell us we need to cut our use of fossil fuels by 70 per cent by 2050 if we want to stabilise the earth's climate (assuming it's not already too late). So a bit of help from the sickly oil fields themselves is welcome. But in the short term, unless we develop alternative fuel sources very fast, this means we will be dealing with two crises at once. We are going to have to confront the ruptures caused by global warming - from rising sea levels to extreme weather events - without the oil that powers our transport system and food networks.
Kunstler explains how stressful the transition away from a fossil fuel economy could be: "Before fossil fuels came into general use, fewer than one billion human beings inhabited the earth. Today, after roughly two centuries of fossil fuels, and with extraction now at an all-time high, the planet supports six-and-a-half billion people. Subtract the fossil fuels, and the human race has an obvious problem. Fossil fuels provided for each person in an industrialised country the equivalent of having hundreds of slaves constantly at his or her disposal. We are now unable to imagine a life without them, and therefore we are unprepared for what is coming."
So what should we all do - give up in despair? No - alongside strict limits on carbon emissions, there is one thing we can lobby and campaign for. It is not guaranteed to solve either problem, but it is the best chance we have of clinging on to the lives we developed in the fossil fuel age.
During the Second World War, the United States (helped by Britain and Canada) launched the Manhattan Project, a programme of intensive scientific research to develop nuclear weapons before Hitler or Stalin. The climate crisis is as important as the battle against Nazism and Communism: it is, for once, a genuine threat to "our way of life". That's why the Pulitzer Prize-winning environmentalist Ross Gelbspan has argued for a Manhattan-style project to develop, urgently, renewable energy sources like wind, solar and hydrogen fuels to an industrial level. (We may even have to consider wider use of nuclear energy). The market will not do it alone.
It requires concerted and massive government funding. We need to make sure we have these replacements for oil sharpish, both to prevent even more disastrous global warming, and to ensure we have the softest landing possible when the petrol runs out. (Toss in the fact that our oil-grabbing policies have fuelled Islamic fundamentalism for the past 60 years and you have a triple-whammy.)
Of course, it is possible - as many environmentalists believe - that there simply isn't a replacement for oil that will allow us to maintain the same energy-intensive lifestyles. Kunstler argues: "The fossil fuel bonanza was a one-time deal, and the interval we have enjoyed it in has been an anomalous period in human history." After all, throughout history people have spent massive amounts of time trying to develop technologies - from alchemy to a cure for cancer - only to find they don't exist. If the desire for (say) a hydrogen-powered economy turns out to belong on this list, then we will simply have to drastically downscale, and condemn future generations to look back on our current lives with eternal envy.
It's also possible we will develop an alternative to oil too late, and the runaway climate change we have already triggered will soar ahead of us regardless. But the sooner we start, the greater our chances of success. Don't we owe it to ourselves - and to the amazing achievements of the past two centuries - to try? Isn't Manhattan Redux the only moral route we can take now?
So what would prevent our governments from adopting such a manifestly sensible policy? Partly it's denial. None of us wants to admit what is happening. Most smokers know they will get lung cancer, but they continue puffing away. When the harm is even more distant, when any one individual's contribution is tiny, when the future seems to so instinctively implausible, is it surprising so many of us lower our gaze and mumble that at least we recycle our old newspapers? Partly, it's because a fantastically rich group of individuals is determined to prevent us from following this sane course. Edwin L Drake's discovery was soon snapped up by mega-corporations, and today they stand to lose hundreds of billions of dollars if we begin to make the transition away from a fossil fuel economy. So they spend a fortune confusing the public - acting as though global warming is a "disputed theory" - and buying politicians. It's a classic example of a sub-group pursuing its own private interest at the expense of the wider group, even to the point of environmental suicide. The only thing that can counteract this global vandalism is if enough of us band together - through groups like Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth - and lobby and fight and shout even harder.
The alternative is to wait while the drip-drip of news stories continues - an Arctic ice shelf collapsing here, the hottest year on record there - until eventually the sea rises to your doorstep, or you fall victim to an extreme weather event, or the oil stops coming and you don't have a replacement. You can start the car and tune out of the global warming crisis if you like, but, if you do, don't be surprised when climate change finally turns on you.
Global warming
* Global average temperatures increased over the 20th century by 0.6 deg C.
* Nineteen of the 20 warmest years of the past 150 years have occurred since 1980; 2005 is on course to be the warmest on record.
* According to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, "most of the warming observed over the past 50 years is attributable to human activity".
* Global average temperatures are projected to rise by anything from 1.4 deg C to 5.8 deg C over the period 1990 to 2100.
* An international panel chaired by the head of the IPPC has identified a 2 deg increase as the threshold beyond which "the risks to human societies and ecosystems grow significantly".
* Such an increase is considered inevitable if atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide exceed 400 parts per million.
* Concentrations of carbon dioxide ( CO2) now exceed 370ppm - their highest level for at least 420,000 years - and are still rising. In 1958 the level was 315ppm.
* Since 1750, CO2 levels in the earth's atmosphere have increased by about 35 per cent.
* Britain is meant to be reducing its CO2 emissions by 1 per cent a year. In fact, emissions have risen by 5.5 per cent since 1997, and rose by 2.5 per cent in the first six months of this year.

Summer is Here: Let the Fun Begin
- June 13, 2017 11:02:45 AM EDT
Summer is here with a bang! The team at Nunu Educational were grinning ear to ear during a site visit to one of our customers during the heat wave yesterday. The hot weather did not stop the kids or the amazing staff –water and imagination were the theme of the day. The kids had some stimulating water play using one of our sand and water tables filled with magnetic floating letters; and imagined that they were enjoying a refreshing ice-cream snack in the shade with a recent order of colourful Alpha Pops. Clear buckets filled with shells offered extra play value, allowing the kids an unobstructed view inside their water world. The more resilient kids were even riding around on three-wheel scooters; a must have for any school yard. The heat could not stop them! The school came alive with chalk art. The kid's creativity and talent was amazing. Of course our Jumbo Chalk helped offer the little artists an array of colour at an unbeatable value. What an amazing day. We are lucky to have such wonderful clients. Looking forward to all the summer-activities that are to come. Our representatives are full of summer-based ideas and product suggestions. Feel free to give us a call at any time or even just send us your summer-play ideas so we can share with everyone!Read More

FLORENCE, Ala. - Two people are in the Lauderdale County jail after a shooting that happened outside the Brass Monkey on Saturday night.
Police say Dakota Reed turned himself in on Monday morning. Officers then used a search warrant to arrest Adonis Butler.
The incident happened Saturday night, after an employee at Brass Monkey said one of the men was turned away at the door by the bar's dress code.
A bullet hole in the glass is visible outside the Florence nightclub. Police and sheriff's deputies showed up at Brass Monkey on Darby Drive around 9:30 on
Saturday night after someone reported gunfire.
The man hurt in Saturday night's shooting, Eric Puryear, says he was working as a bouncer at Brass Monkey. He says the man in the surveillance picture was stopped at the door by workers enforcing the dress code. One of the rules was 'no sagging pants'. Puryear says workers told the man, if he pulled up his pants, he could come in. He says, not long after that, the man took out a gun and shot it, which hit him in the jaw.
The owner of brass monkey says a glass fragment hit Puryear in the face. He didn't need surger and is now out of the hospital recovering.
Butler and Reed are charged with two felony counts, including assault and shooting into an occupied building. Their bond is set at $32,500 each.
The Brass Monkey also posted pictures of the man of interest in a Facebook post on Sunday.
Witnesses began posting on social media about the incident around 10 p.m.
The Brass Monkey is located along Florence Boulevard and Darby Drive.

Enjoy A Blast From The Past From Wannsee In Berlin
With the help of former Flieger Revue editor in chief, Detlef Billig, we were made aware of a past event that qualifies for a "Blast From The Past" article on this page. The 1998 Seaport Wannsee event commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift with an impressive assortment of flying boats landing and taking off on Lake Wannsee near Berlin.
The event, which ran from August 21.-23. 1998 in Berlin, was made available as DVD video as it so impressively highlights the importance of seaplanes in post war Germany. Veteran aviator Achim Rieck offers the DVD for purchase through his website.
Sunderland,Tudor, Lancastrian, York, Lincoln, Halton, Freighter, Hastings, Skymaster, und Skytrain. Fmr. President Clinton und late Chancellor Kohl can be seen during the christening ceremony of a C-17 Globemaster III names "Spirit of Berlin" in Berlin-Tempelhof.

Faculty Travel Immersion Seminars
Harpst Center for Catholic Thought and Culture
Faculty Travel Immersion Seminar
New York City-San Francisco-San Diego
January 8-15, 2020
The Frances G. Harpst Center for Catholic Thought and Culture announces its 2020 Faculty Travel Immersion Seminar. Each year the CCTC takes a small group of inter-disciplinary USD Faculty to a place connected in a broad sense with the Catholic intellectual and/or cultural and social traditions. This year the Travel Seminar will take place in New York City, San Francisco, and San Diego. The trip will take place on January 8 - January 15, with travel days of January 7 and 16th.
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me.
I lift my lamp beside the Golden Door.
The current "national emergency" has enflamed the ongoing debate on immigration. For all the sound and fury, the debate has paid scant attention to the historical roots of immigration to the United States. What does it mean that the United States is "A Nation of Immigrants?" What role has the Catholic Church played? The great historian Oscar Handlin once stated famously, "I set out to study the role of the immigrant in American history and found the immigrant was American history." The same may be said of the Catholic Church in the United States—the immigrant was and is U.S. Catholic history. The Church in the United States was, and continues to be, an immigrant church.
The 2020 Faculty Travel Immersion Seminar will explore the current crisis by grounding the discussion in the historical record. We will begin in New York City and examine the massive influx of European immigrants in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Despite the welcoming words at the base of the Statue of Liberty, immigrants were often met with hostility. A large percentage of the immigrants were Catholic. How did the Church respond? How did the Church fashion a place for itself and its people? How did it influence the national response? We will visit Ellis Island, the Center for Migration Studies, immigrant neighborhoods and churches. We will then travel to San Francisco to look particularly at Asian immigration. The hostile reception of Chinese immigrants in the late nineteenth century resulted in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Though only a small number of Asian immigrants were Catholic, the Church did respond. More recent immigrants from Asia have included large numbers of Catholics, particularly from the Philippines and Vietnam. We will visit Angel Island, Chinatown, ethnic neighborhoods and churches. The trip will end in San Diego and review the Latino immigrant experience, the oldest and newest immigrants. The earliest Latinos in the present day United States were not immigrants; as the saying goes, "We did not cross the border, the border crossed us." All three groups have made rich and important contributions to the building of the United States and the US Catholic Church.
Immigration is not a new issue or concern; it has been an ongoing reality in the United States since the nation's inception. The United States' response to immigration might best be described as "ambivalent"—it fluctuates between welcoming the immigrant and violent and racist nativism. The Catholic Church, in its experience and teaching, has much to inform the discussion. This seminar will explore the Church's insights and experience on immigration.
The seminar is facilitated by experts in the field and involves a pre-seminar program of preparatory academic readings. Each Faculty member selected to participate produces an academic paper upon return, which is presented, on campus in a series of follow-up presentations and additional collegial gatherings and discussions take place to continue the dialogue and strong links formed by the group during their trip.
If selected, participation will be dependent upon prior agreement to attend preliminary information and preparation sessions and also to attend post-seminar follow-up sessions, including the production and presentation of a formal paper as a result of the seminar.
Applications are open to all full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty, and full-time visiting faculty with multi-year appointments will also be considered, space permitting.
For more information, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call us at (619) 260-7936.

Pole Position: ItzFrisky_Cj (Mercedes) – 1.15.157
Podium Finishers
1st – louisw03 (Red Bull)
2nd – Gonanen_87 (Ferrari)
3rd – Likkle_blocks (Ferrari)
Fastest Lap: louisw03 – 1.18.471
Round twelve of the ILR1 championship on PS4 seen us pay a visit to the Hungaroring for the Hungarian GP for, the first race of 2019.
In qualifying, it was ItzFrisky_cj who took pole position albeit on the less favoured ultra-soft tire while reigning champion louisw03 started in second with current championship leader VSR_Blizzzard starting in third both on the favoured soft compound tire.
As the race got underway it was ItzFrisky_Cj who held onto the lead off the line making good use of the ultra-soft tires while the Red Bull of louisw03 held onto second position. The Ferrari of Likkle_Blocks found himself battling with VSR Blizzzard in the opening corners after a good start. Everyone seemed to navigate the first lap without incident.
The first few laps saw most of the drivers just try to get into a rhythm with overtaking difficult to achieve at the Hungaroring, although the Toro Rosso of Nowek3712 who opted to start on the faster ultra soft tire was the man on the move. He moved quickly up to P8 passing Bugatti030629. VSR_Josh and ccbrain had a close battle for tenth position. At the front reigning champion louisw03 was biding his time waiting to make the pass for the lead on ItzFrisky_Cj and made the move on the run out of turn one on lap four. The McLaren of VSR_Blizzzard had to follow behind the Mercedes for a bit longer and tried to make the move into turn one and then turn two on lap five. On the run up the hill to turn four ItzFrisky_Cj and VSR_Blizzzard went side by side while the Ferrari of Likkle_blocks moved to the inside and passed both the McLaren and Mercedes in an incredible move for second position.
Later in the lap ItzFrisky_Cj spun after contact with the McLaren of VSR_Blizzzard which sent the Mercedes down the order. All this action allowed Louisw03 to pull further ahead out front building a gap to those behind. Gonanen_87 and ne-yo1993 caught up onto the back of VSR Blizzzard with the McLaren having to hold off the challenge from behind. Gonanen_87 then made the move for third on lap eight. ItzFrisky_Cj became the first to retire on lap nine while VRTCliffy was making up positions from further down the order moving up to P7. VSR_Blizzzard lost another position to his team-mate ne-yo1993 dropping the championship leader down to fifth.VSR_Blizzzard pit a lap later switching to the medium tires and emerging down in fourteenth.
The two Ferrari's of Likkle_Blocks and Gonanen_87 then battled for second before Likkle_Blocks decided to pit for the medium's as did Ne-yo1993 and they both emerged from the pits ahead of championship leader VSR_Blizzzard who was caught in the battle for tenth between Nowek3712 and TTG_Po. Nowek3712 then ran wide out of turn three and ended up colliding with the barrier in what was a hefty collision. Gonanen_87 pit a lap later than his team-mate and then emerged ahead of Likkle_blocks for what was a net P2 while the leader louisw03 also pit for a set of medium tires.
VRTCliffy and LMC_HamiltonF1 both of whom hadn't pitted had a battle for the lead for a time before pitting. VSR_Blizzzard found himself battling for sixth with VSR_Josh and TTG_Po while out front lousiw03 maintained his gap while attempting to pass the Sauber of kallek_rist who was on the alternate strategy with the reigning champion finding little resistance. TTG_Po made a move past VSR_Josh for seventh with the battle between the two continuing for a number of laps while Gonanen_87 managed to pass Kallek_rist to retake second.
VSR_Blizzzard struggled to make much progress on the leaders but did manage to pass his team-mate Ne-yo1993 who had to make a second pit stop after picking up damage dropping him down to the back of the field. The battle for fifth was gaining momentum as VSR_Josh was defending from the Williams of LMC_HamiltonF1 and VRTCliffy who were both challenging before LMC_HamiltonF1 had a big slide out of turn one which cost him a couple of positions to Matt32575 and Kallek_rist.
In the closing laps louiswo3 maintained his lead with the two Ferrari's of Gonanen_87 and Likkle_blocks holding the other two podium positions while the main battling continued to be fifth with VRTCliffy making a move on VSR_Josh and eighth positions with Kallek_rist holding off the challenge of LMC_HamiltonF1. Meanwhile, AzR_Lormans was running close behind ItsMe12321 in the battle for the final point.
In the end then it was louiswo3 who took a dominant victory for Red Bull with Gonanen_87 picking up an excellent second place and Likkle_blocks coming home in third.

Fastest Lap: Veloce Limitless – 1.17.594
Round twelve of the ILR1 championship on Xbox One seen us pay a visit to the Hungaroring for the Hungarian GP for, the first race of 2019.
In qualifying, it was a bit of a surprise result with Gauchecrab124 taking pole position on the ultra-soft tires and tR Dutchman who took second also on the somewhat alternate strategy. Championship contender VSR Simon started third while championship leader Veloce Surprize would start in fourth.
As the race got underway it was Gauchecrab124 and tRDutchman who held on to the top two positions utilising the quicker tyre off the line while behind OMG Its Jo had a fantastic start to jump up to third. SnazzyEvening44 also made a good start whilst Veloce Limitless was the one who lost out dropping a number of positions through the opening corners.
By the end of lap one those on the soft tires were already making their move on the Force India and Renault who had opted for the ultra soft's with OMG Its Jo passing tR Dutchman on the run into turn two on lap two. Veloce Surprize and VSR Simon passed tR Dutchman while OMG Its Jo caught up with Gauchecrab124 and took the lead at the end of lap two with Veloce Surprize following and VSR Simon making the pass shortly afterwards. SnazzyEvening44 made the move on Gauchecrab124 for P4 before Veloce Limitless passed him as well.
At the front Veloce Surprize made a move for the lead on lap six by into turn one and made it stick. The rain started to fall with more and more intensity. Gauchecrab124 was the first driver to opt for the intermediate tires on lap seven while there was an almighty battle for P8 with six cars all running very closely including VSR Thomas, VSR Moorso, Jorc94 and the Amazement. OMG Its Jo continued to hold off the McLaren of VSR Simon when unexpectedly race leader Veloce Surprize had connection issues which cost him the lead of the race and sent him down the order. SnazzyEvening44 caught up onto the battle for the lead with VSR Simon trying everything to pass the Ferrari before OMG Its Jo pitted from the lead at the end of lap nine with a few others following.
VSR Simon opted to stay out however while those who pit switched onto the intermediate tires. In the pit lane SnazzyEvening44 managed to jump ahead of OMG Its Jo to take the net race lead. VSR Simon pitted a lap later and emerged down in third place. SnazzyEvening44 began to build a gap to those behind while VSR Simon was trying to pass the Ferrari of OMG Its Jo and finally made the move into turn one on lap thirteen. VSR Simon immediately began to close down the gap that SnazzyEvening44 had built. Further down the order the battle for P9 was still going strong with The Amazement holding off Langman17 for a time while LCR Hayden and EVR_Reynolds were also close behind and battling.
VSR Simon caught right up onto the back of the Mercedes of SnazzyEvening44 and attempted a move into turn one but Snazzy managed to defend well and hold the position. On lap seventeen the two cars touched into turn one proving just how hard they were battling. Gauchecrab124 was the first retirement of the race.
On lap nineteen VSR Simon tried yet again to make the move on SnazzyEvening44 into turn one and looked closer than before. The McLaren and Mercedes ran side by side all the way through turn two and three before VSR Simon ran wide on the exit of turn three but managed to take the lead. It was however short-lived as on the exit of the next corner VSR Simon lost the rear of the car after what looked like slight contact and ended up colliding with the barrier which sent down to P5 and then further after pitting.
SnazzyEvening44 took control of the race from here with OMG Its Jo holding off Veloce Limitless who in turn was holding off the championship leader Veloce Surprize who was attempting to fight back after his earlier disconnection. Langman17 and VSR Moorso were battling on lap twenty-five with the Ferrari making the move for P6 while back at the front OMG Its Jo had a major moment which allowed Veloce Limitless through to take second position with OMG Its Jo then pitting for the slick soft tire.
VSR Simon, VSR Thomas and TRL_Martin all retired from the race while OMG Its Jo was struggling on his new dry tires finding conditions very difficult to manage. Veloce Surprize then decided he wanted a set of the dry tires opting for the softs, proving that the conditions were improving somewhat. Race leader SnazzyEvening44 then also decided to pit for the softs while Veloce Limitless stayed out for another lap which ended up costing him second position to Veloce Surprize.
In the closing stages it was SnazzyEvening44 who was in control with Veloce Surprize who had solid pace closing in trying everything to try to catch the Mercedes of SnazzyEvening44 and Veloce Limitless who fell further behind the pace of Veloce Surprize.
In what was an incredible race it was SnazzyEvening44 who took his maiden ILR1 victory with Veloce Surprize in an incredible comeback drive having been disconnected earlier in the race and Veloce Limitless picking up another podium in P3.

Pole Position: ILR_Shadow (McLaren) – 1.14.908
Podium Finishers
1st – zR_MeRcEDes (Red Bull)
2nd – Aleskiller150 (McLaren)
3rd – MrCosta96 (Red Bull)
Fastest Lap: CorzzzzaF1 – 1.17.344
Round twelve of the ILR2 championship on Xbox One seen us pay a visit to the Hungaroring for the Hungarian GP for, the first race of 2019.
In qualifying, it was ILR_Shadow who took pole with tau_s78 taking second place on the grid for Sauber and zR_MeRcEDes starting from third.
The race started off in wet conditions meaning everyone had to start on the intermediate tires. As the race got underway it was the two Red Bull's who got off the line quickest with MrCosta96 moving up into the lead and his team-mate zR_MeRcEDes moving up into second before falling behind the Ferrari of CorzzzzzaF1 while the McLaren of Aleskiller moved up ahead of his team-mate and pole sitter ILR_Shadow who fell down to fifth with tau_s78 down in sixth. It was a clean start for most although the Force India of Goody2k7 and ScubaMUFC in the Williams were among the cars to pick up damage on lap one.
Championship contenders Abidoun20041224 and Wizelig both started down the order and were involved in some early battles with Silent Assassin in the Mercedes for seventh. ILR_Shadow had to hold off the Sauber of Tau_s78 while Wizelig made the pass on Silent Assassin which also allowed debutant sam-ster007 through into ninth. At the front CorzzzzzaF1 began to close in on the leader MrCosta96 with the conditions making it difficult for people to make overtakes on a circuit already notoriously difficult to make good overtakes.
Championship leader Abidoun20041224 caught up onto the battle for fifth between tau-s78 and ILR_Shadow. LMC_Georgexx13 made a pass on Silent Assassin for tenth while xforsetix13 and TimVegGaming888 were battling for fourteenth position with josephcorboy not far behind. Everyone appeared to be maintaining position at this stage in these tricky conditions as the rain continued to fall.
LMC_Georgexx13 and sam-ster007 battled for ninth position on lap ten with the Force India picking up slight wing damage while bananastime350 became the first car to retire from the race on lap eleven. xforsetix13 and TimVegGaming888 continued their battle down the field with the Ferrari finding it difficult to make an overtake on the Renault. MrCosta96 continued to hold off the threat from the Ferrari of CorzzzzzaF1 at the front while Tau-s78 was trying to pressure ILR_Shadow into a mistake for fifth. Sam-ster007 was next to retire on lap fourteen.
MrCosta96 had to take avoiding action to avoid the stricken Mercedes of jospehcorboy which allowed CorzzzzzaF1 to get incredibly close to the Red Bull while the other Red Bull of zR_MeRcEDes also managed to close up. MrCosta96 then pit at the end of the same lap which gave CorzzzzaF1 the lead for a time while zR_MeRcEDes was putting the Ferrari under some pressure.
Championship leader Abidoun20041224 also pit and emerged from the pits behind a lot of cars while net leader MrCosta96 also had to battle his way past the Sauber of LMC_Georgexx13 to try and maintain the net lead of the race. CorzzzzaF1 and zR_MeRcEDes pit at the end of lap seventeen and emerged behind MrCosta96 while ILR_Shadow and Wizelig stayed out longer waiting on the race to stop.
MrCosta96 closed up onto the back of Wizelig quickly but nearly lost the car in sector three runnng close behind the Toro Rosso all the while CorzzzzzaF1 was closing in on the pair ahead with zR_MeRcEDes not far behind either. Costa made it through on Wizelig with CorzzzzzaF1 next to try to pass the slower Toro Rosso with both zR_MeRcEDes and Aleskiller150 trying to take advantage. Wizelig ran wide out of turn three which allowed the Ferrari of CorzzzzaF1 and the Red Bull of zR_MeRcEDes through before Wizelig lost the car a few corners later colliding with the barrier on the inside. He pitted shortly afterwards.
ILR_Shadow continued to stay out on the heavily worn intermediates waiting on the conditions to improve which wasn't happening quickly with MrCosta96 much quicker on the fresh intermediate tires and putting pressure on the McLaren driver and finally made the move in the tight sector two. Xforsetix13 had a huge accident in sector one colliding with the barriers resulting in another DNF for the Ferrari driver while his team-mate CorzzzzzaF1 had problems of his own as he disconnected from the session costing him second position.
ILR_Shadow lost another couple of positions to tau-s78 and Abidoun20041224 while Aleskiller150 began to close in on zR_MeRcEDes. The rain eventually stopped with about six laps to go with some further down opting to switch quickly to the dry compound tires. Tau-s78 became the latest car to retire while LMC_Georgexx13 was battling with ILR_Shadow before the McLaren driver made what was his first stop strangely opting for the Intermediate tires on a fast drying track. At the front MrCosta96 had a spin which handed the lead to his team-mate zR_MeRcEDes and second place to Aleskiller150.
In the closing laps many made pit stops for dry tires with zR_MeRcEDes and Aleskiller opting for ultra softs while championship leader Abidoun20041224 and his team mate Wizelig suffered from a game glitch which resulted in them both being stuck in the pit lane resulting in a double Toro Rosso retirement which was terribly unfortunate for the two. ILR_Shadow had to pit again for dry tires which cost him a lot of time while LMC_Georgexx13 was the man who benefited most moving up to P4.
In the end then it was zR_MeRcEDes who took victory for Red Bull closing the championship lead with Aleskiller150 picking up second and MrCosta96 in third

Round twelve of the ILR2 championship on Xbox One seen us pay a visit to the Hungaroring for the Hungarian GP for, the first race of 2019.
In qualifying, it was RHRacings who took pole after opting for the quicker but less durable ultra-soft tire with Sprog Jr taking second place on the grid for Sauber and antivebeacon starting from third.
As the race got underway both RHRacings and Sprog Jr made good use of their faster ultra-soft tires to hold onto the top two positions into turn one before colliding with each other on the entry to turn two allowing those behind such as antivebeacon to take advantage and take the lead of the race. F1Maestro26 was running close behind Sprog Jr on the opening lap while most of the field successfully managed to navigate the tight tricky Hungaroring circuit.
The Toro Rosso of mightydylan3224 made a nice move on Midzy15 into sector three with JamieOC2004 putting on more pressure on the McLaren of Midzy15 before losing the rear on the run out of turn two. Thebaconyum007 was the first to retire from the race on lap three. F1Maestro26 passed RHRacings for P3 who was struggling on the ultra soft tire losing a bunch of positions as a result. F1Maestro26 moved up to P2 passing Sprog Jr. Tomos12345 became the latest car to retire on lap five bringing out the virtual safety car in the process.
Championship leader Midzy15 then retired shortly afterwards. As the virtual safety car ended and racing got back underway antivebeacon out front continued to build a lead while there was some contact between Dazfell and RHRacings into turn two, and they both narrowly avoided the spinning Toro Rosso of mightydylan3224 who ended up becoming the latest car to retire from the race. A train developed behind the battle for third with Bwumsen and JamieOC2004 joining RHRacings and Dazfell. Bwumsen tried to find a way past RHRacings but the nature of this circuit makes overtaking very difficult. As RHRacings pit at the end of lap seven JamieOC2004 spotted an opportunity to make a pass on the Ferrari of Bwumsen completing the move in turn one.
SHZOverkillz, Dragonpro200 and ChrisMaccaJones were all battling for seventh getting very close and running side by side in places before Dragonpro200 ended up off the circuit and out of the race on lap nine. Meanwhile, at the front F1Maestro26 began to quickly close the gap to leader antivebeacon and made his move for the lead on lap ten. The race settled down at this stage with everyone managing tire temperatures which can prove very difficult to keep under control at the Hungaroring circuit.
The two leaders made their pit stops at the end of lap fifteen both switching onto the medium compound tires while the Ferrari of Bwumsen stayed out longer along with others who started on the medium compound tires. F1 Maestro26 emerged from the pits behind the Ferrari of ChrisMaccaJones in P6 while antivebeacon emerged in P8. The net leaders began to make their way through the cars on the alternate strategy with antivebeacon battling with Dazfell and Sprog Jr while F1 Maestro26 began to close up to AOR Pelzeri. As those on the alternate strategy began to pit it was F1 Maestro26 who clearly had gained time on his rivals with Dazfell managing to take net P2 from antivebeacon in the process.
The battle for P4 gained momentum as Josu Alzugarai and JamieOC2004 ran side by side in sector one and the continued battling throughout lap twenty-three before Bwumsen joined in and ended up passing Josu Alzugarai into turn one before the Red Bull went for a divebomb from too far back into turn two which ended up costing him a number of positions. Bwumsen caught up onto JamieOC204 a few laps later while SHZ Overkillz joined them followed by AOR Pelzeri and Josu Alzugarai later on but again overtaking proved to be difficult.
In the closing stages F1 Maestro26 continued to maintain his lead while Dazfell and antivebeacon ran within a second of each other in the battle for second place. The battle for fourth was where all the action was with the train of cars down to P8 making for a exciting finish with AOR Pelzeri making a move on SHZ Overkillz for sixth with the Force India running wide into turn one which also allowed Josu Alzugarai though to take seventh. Josu Alzugarai then made a pass on AOR Pelzeri for sixth while Bwumsen tried to pressure JamieOC2004 into a mistake in the final laps.
In the end then it was F1 Maestro26 who took a stellar victory with Dazfell in the McLaren picking up second and antivebeacon finishing in third place.

Finally the holiday season is over. Some will usher in the new year with trepidation, others a loud 'Thank God that's over!". Wherever you are on the new year rejoicement spectrum be sure to take some time to review the last 12 months as well as plan the next 365 days and beyond.
Coming together & chatting with family can be good, but if they're not 110% being a cheerleader for your hopes & dreams don't take too much notice of them. It's ok to keep your plans to yourself. Sharing isn't always caring.
Be grateful for the joy, the fun times.
Also be grateful for the tears and the tough lessons. Growth can be painful. Only by getting pushed to beyond our perceived limits do we learn and develop our mental and physical strength to the next level.
Meditate. If you don't know how, make 2019 the year when you learn.
Avoid burnout. In this hectic world we recharge our phones and ipads more than we recharge ourselves.
Listen to music. Let the melodies swirl around & take you to a place of bliss. Music can also help you meditate into manifestation mode.
Something that's taken me a lot of years to learn is the "Law of Attraction". Make 2019 the year where you 'feel' your way into manifesting your hearts desires.
Remember to be true to you. There's no such as a dream too big!
It's ok to work hard quietly and celebrate your own achievements & milestones. Take pride in putting one foot in front of the other. Progress is progress, no matter how slow it may seem.
Work on nourishing your body, mind and soul. Give love in order to receive. Karma has a way of leveling the playing field. Strive to be the best possible version of yourself. Not for the approval of others, but for yourself.
Make it happen & kick arse! I believe in you!

Kris talked about dealing with stress to 60 Kakuma Refugee youth today.
They told us they feel stress from being forcibly displaced from their country, from the death of loved ones, from very limited educational opportunities, from hardships living within Kakuma and from big questions about their future.
Their stressors are real and huge. In her comments Kris shared suggestions that seemed to bring encouragement. She reminded the youth that God sees and cares about each of them and then she prayed God's help, strength and blessing over them.
Would you please take a minute right now and pray for Kakuma youth? That God would greatly encourage them and give them strength and hope? Your prayers can make a difference.

Life is not fair. Bad things happen to good people. It saddens me when I hear of grown children not making the time to see their parents, parents not taking the time for their children no matter their age, siblings no longer talking, family members supposedly "disowned " from the family.
These things upset me because some are missing out on someone they valued and made time for while someone else takes their loved one for granted and easily dismisses them. I don't know why these things happen. But the thing I do know is for those of us that do still have our parents, our siblings, all our children, remember that somewhere out there someone would give anything just to see their mother, father, brother, sister, son, or daughter one more time, talk to them one more time, tell them they love them one more time.
There are so many things we (myself included) like to think matter but really in the end it's just the people we loved. So for the people that lost their mom, dad, brother, sister, son, or daughter, thank God for the time you have with yours, hug yours a little tighter, make sure you tell them you love them, and say a little prayer for everyone that s missing theirs.

Question: "Electric shock" feeling in left thumb
|spazticorange - Sun Sep 16, 2007 4:59 am
Share |
There is a feeling like getting an electric shock every time I role something over the area between the intermediate phalanges and the distal phalanges. I can feel a nerve or vessel in that area but when I roll my finger over it, I get a nervy feeling in the distal phalanges of my left thumb.
This is kind of hindering me from playing my guitar and violin as I have to constantly release and re-apply pressure on my left thumb when playing different notes. Any advise as to what to do or what my problem really is would be helpful. Thanks
|Dr. Chan Lowe - Mon Sep 17, 2007 10:48 pm

Hi Spazticorange,
It sounds like you may have some compression of the nerve that supplies the thumb. This may be due to an overuse injury.
I would recommend you see your doctor to have this evaluated. Treatment may range from an anti-inflammatory to try to reduce any inflammation that is compressing the nerve, to surgical release of the nerve.
Best wishes.

For a while after it happened, people have been asking if I'm okay, and at first I wasn't. The days didn't seem to get better. A few weeks later, it started to get better, so slightly. I still feel that way, a month later, trying to take one step at a time. Trying to sit back down on my couch where it happened, accepting the fact that I'm still at risk, when I thought I wasn't for so long. When asked how I was, I really didn't know what to say. I'm not a fan of saying "I'm good" when I'm not, because I don't want people to think epilepsy is easy. It's invisible, but still exists.
I tried to explain to the people close to me that I was doing my best. Because I was. I was and am still trying to get stronger and start all over again trying to get over the fear.
One day, it started getting better. Little by little. There's some days when I can walk into the dining hall where I had my aura, and others I walk in and get overwhelmed. I ask my roommate to come with me, sometimes, and she's willing. It comes and goes.
Before the third episode, I was able to forget for a little while. I would take my medication in the morning, and feel normal for the day. I'd forget until nighttime, when I had to take the medication again, and mostly, that was the extent of my thoughts on the subject. There were a lot of days like that.
I'm building it back up to that… slowly but surely. But every day is only a little bit. It's only a little bit better.
I guess that's what they say. Rome wasn't built in a day. This one was the hardest and most shocking. It's going to take a while. A lot of days, that will go quickly, and add up to a lot of time. I'll look back on this time, once again, and use the experience to get over the next heartbreak.
Maybe I've been going on too long about this, but I want to write about what I'm doing and what I'm thinking, so this is it.

text: Home » Blog » Medical Marketing » Marketing Moves You Can Expect from Large Medical Groups in your Area Surprising insights gleaned from our discussions with many of the nation's leading medical group administrators – and what you should do next as a resultWe gained a number of surprising insights from talking with hundreds of medical group practice administrators and CEOs at the MGMA* annual conference in Las Vegas this year.Based upon our conversations, you can get a sense of what some of the large groups in your area are probably thinking about.Many of the large groups we spoke with told us they…Are highly interested in ethical marketing. This increase in interest is partly due to increased competition and consolidation in healthcare. The fact that marketing can be done ethically particularly caught their attention.Want to brand their organizations. MGMA members are way ahead of the pack on this issue. Today, while smaller medical practices oftentimes do not understand the value of branding, a very high percentage of the MGMA members we spoke with told us they felt that branding would be very important to help their group stand out from the competition in a positive way that would enhance their reputation.Would like to attract more patients from their group's website. While most healthcare businesses have a website, few reported generating significant volumes of patients from the Internet. Many group practices, however, are actively considering search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising and other web strategies to increase their web effectiveness.Are interested in promoting ancillary services. To increase revenues, many large practices are considering, or have already invested in, ancillary services. Many of these practices view marketing as THE critical factor necessary to ensure demand – and therefore the success – of these new services.Like the idea of attracting specific cases. While most large practices already have plenty of patients, many said they would like to ethically attract a better percentage of cases which fall within their doctors' specialized training and/or reimburse better.Were happy to learn that professional referrals can be positively influenced by marketing. Ongoing professional referral systems are the key to building and protecting professional referral relationships.See the need for a practice marketing plan. In our experience, large groups have become much more sophisticated in recent years, and now realize they need effective, ongoing marketing systems.Are open to, or actively looking for, outside marketing help. Large group Administrators are some of the busiest people we know, and many of them are working with experts to conceive and execute their aforementioned marketing plan.So what are your next steps?Whatever your situation – group or solo practice – it is clear that competition is going to increase in healthcare over the next couple of years, and that larger practices are now way ahead of the curve.If some of the above issues are relevant to you, or if you just want to "keep up," we recommend you do appropriate "marketing due diligence" and create and follow a comprehensive practice marketing plan.

Following a complete metamorphosis signaled by the addition of vocalist Ziek McCarter and a reinvigorated live show, Con Brio is being powered by pure momentum. The band swiftly worked their way up the full spectrum of venues around the Bay and then decided to toss a few songs our way with last year's Kiss The Sun. Only in the past year did they set off on their first tour outside California. Soon after, they've acquired some kind of golden ticket on the festival circuit that has had them performing at major festivals form North America (ACL, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza) to Japan (Fuji Rock) and Australia (Bryon Bay Bluesfest). At some point during all of this they managed to work on Paradise, recorded in Berkeley right behind 924 Gilman. You can download the record or take home a real live physical artifact on Bandcamp.
Now seven members strong, all the moving parts are now mirrored between their live show and new record — horn section and all. The immediate howl of Benjamin Andrews' guitar doesn't gently lead you into the album but kicks down the door for McCarter to moonwalk through and command anyone listening nearby to their feet. Fans of the 23-year-old frontman's overwhelming stage presence can jump straight to "Hard Times." Those that came for the James Brown and Curtis Mayfield influences can hit play on "Liftoff" and "Money." If you prefer something slower for a change, there's always "Honey."
Their most recent preview of what was to come on Paradise took the form of their first non-live music video for "Free and Brave." The song has been heard by fans for awhile now and regularly provides one of the more dramatic stage introductions, later leading to some serious call and response between McCarter and the crowd. Captured in Oakland by local director Frank Door, the video and its message can be strengthened each week you check the news.
The twelve song collection touches on love, economic status, racial discrimination, and optimism combining it all to look at both the struggles and celebrations of contemporary life. It's a record that should now keep longtime fans at bay finally able to listen to many of these set list standards on demand while luring more people out to their wider travels on the road. I mean, come on, when's the last time you saw someone do continuous splits after performing for an hour?
If you missed the last time Con Brio delivered their gospel in town, you can live vicariously through this version of "Sundown" recorded at The Independent, or make sure you have your schedule cemented for Outside Lands next month. They'll be drawing a crowd on Saturday, August 6.Tags: Con Brio

We challenge you to submit your passion to the King of Kings. There is a reason why God put a love for adventure and exploring in you. Above and beyond is a part of your normal vocabulary. God was purposeful when he created modern-day explorers. It's so we could go where other people won't. That's what the Surf and Snow DTS is all about.
If you surf, snowboard or ski - come and join us! You will meet with God and if you allow Him, He will transform you. But more than that He will refocus your passion and give you a purpose that goes beyond the sports we so love. A purpose that uses what we love for the sake of those who have never had an opportunity to hear about our kind King.
It starts off here in Biarritz with a 12 week lecture phase where we will have visiting speakers from all over the world teaching on a specific topic each week. Alongside lectures the students will be part of worship sessions, prayer times and practical work on the base and in the community. We will also be spending a lot of time together surfing, riding and exploring this corner of the world!
It's a real life-transforming experience. It's all about knowing the heart of God and making Him known in the nations. We're not just looking to learn more head knowledge but to let that knowledge overflow into our lives and let the power of God transform us and those around us.
Jordan Turner
Surf and Snow DTS Student from YWAM Biarritz
This is followed by a 12 week outreach phase where we will take all that God has done in our lives, our passions and our stories to West Africa and the Middle East to be channels for God's kindness and truth. We'll be surfing and snowboarding/skiing as a tool to connect with the local community and build relationship. Embark on a life-transforming adventure with us, take risks, overcome new challenges and step into your calling and potential in God!

Either you would like to drop some of the extra kilos or gain more muscle – I am here to help you achieve that.
With correct training and a good diet putting on more desired muscle mass or dropping weight will seem a lot easier than thought.
Your confidence will increase sky high in your ideal body shape.
But the value of a great fat-loss program goes far beyond helping you look great at the beach, some of those are better sport performance. Although most people don't make their living playing sports, many do enjoy competing with friends and family. A fat-loss plan can help you run faster and jump higher, negating the performance limitations of carrying around an extra 5, 10, 20, or more pounds on your body. When you lose the fat, you automatically become more athletic,. So, if you want to improve your sport performance, an effective fat-loss program could be just the edge you need to outperform the competition.
Improved strength. The less excess body weight you carry around, the more reps with heavier weight you can lift to continue building muscle and increasing strength. The more body weight you carry (i.e., body fat), the weaker you'll feel and the less work you'll be able to complete. Plus, you might not even be able to complete enough reps of certain exercises to create an optimal training stimulus for increased muscle and strength, meaning your time in the weight room is not as effective as it could be if you were leaner.

The Japan Mine Action Service has granted more than $300,000 to the Cambodian Mine Action Centre on a project to clear landmines and cluster munition-contaminated areas in Kampong Thom province.
Heng Ratana, director-general of CMAC, signed an agreement with JMAS on Friday to help clear landmines and areas contaminated with cluster munition remnants in Kampong Thom province.
"This project will cover a 12-month period of operation and will start March 1 with a total grant of more than $300,000," he said, adding the project would clear five square kilometres of land.
"I want to thank the people and the government of Japan for often providing grants to CMAC, which are necessary to clear landmines and unexploded ordnance in Cambodia so our people can live safely."
Mr Ratana added the number of casualties from landmines and unexploded ordnance was falling, making people feel more confident in farming or using their land for other purposes.
"I appeal to all citizens to immediately report to local authorities, police or CMAC officials if they see unexploded ordnance or landmines," he said.
He added there were about 2,000 square kilometres of land that still contained landmines.
Mr Ratana said last week that in 2017, CMAC cleared more than 86 square kilometres of land, removing and destroying 37,448 landmines and unexploded ordnance.
CMAC's goal in 2018 is to clear 147 square kilometres of land of mines, cluster munitions and other unexploded ordnance – including chemical weapons, he added.
The Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority issued a report earlier this month saying there were 39 accidents in 2017, a 46 percent decrease compared with the 72 accidents in 2016.
Of the 39 incidents, it said 20 were from mine explosions and 19 were from explosive remnants of war. The incidents led to 58 casualties, a 30 percent decrease compared with the 83 casualties in 2016.
