Tonight's question, greetings, and banter here. (More)
Today the God-King recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, despite objections from Pope Francis as well as Islamic and moderate Jewish leaders but with the support of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Also, House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Elijah Cummings revealed that Michael Flynn promised a friend that the Obama-era sanctions on Russia would be "ripped up," clearing the way for the friend's business deal with Russia. And most Senate Democrats are now calling for Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) to resign amidst mounting accusations of sexual misconduct, including another today by Democratic strategist Tina Dupuy, while TIME magazine named "The Silence Breakers" – women who went public with stories of sexual harassment by powerful men – as their 2017 Persons of the Year. Would Franken's resignation, alongside Rep. John Conyers' resignation yesterday, help confirm Democrats as "the Party of Women?"

Even when Thor wasn't whirling his hammer and sending it hurtling toward a foe, you could still find a good read in a Thor comic by its story unfolding at a slower pace, and featuring the other Asgardians of the "eternal realm." An example of this kind of story would have been the old "Tales of Asgard" installments; but there were many others, such as the times when Loki gained power, or watching the Asgardians gird themselves for a new threat, or when they would interact with other players in various parts of the universe (such as the Rigellians).
And then of course there's Odin, whose gaze is cast at any number of points of interest, and whose ponderings could spell trouble at any moment. If Odin starts rustling the curtains, the tension level in the palace royal begins to rise, and warriors and advisors find themselves being shifted about and taking on tasks they're not quite clear on. Such would be the case in the issues following Loki's exile from Asgard after making a failed power play with a second attempt at using the stolen Odin ring; and in the midst of celebration, Odin discovers he's made a monumental blunder where Loki is concerned.
You'd think that such an alarming portent of disaster--one that sends even Odin into a tizzy--would have this title kicking into overdrive. Instead, writer Gerry Conway begins a series of issues that would build on this threat and use it to spawn several stories that would reach even past the book's 200th issue. (Heck, perhaps for Conway, a twisting and drawn-out story is overdrive!) The first of these issues lays a good deal of the groundwork, and is a bit low-key in comparison with the ones which follow--but thanks to the clever format of its cover, it looks like Thor is still going to play a part in selling his book.
The beginning of this issue still finds the Asgardians downing wine and ale and celebrating Loki's defeat--but Odin's dour posture can't help but catch the eye of Thor, who, after approaching his liege in concern, might end up wishing he'd left well enough alone.
What Odin probably meant to say was, "Jeez, Sif, are you an Asgardian goddess or a terrified little crybaby?" But Sif is going to soon be too distracted to worry about Thor, as, with the introduction of the formidable Hildegarde, Odin has a little doom and gloom in mind for her, as well.
As we can see, Odin has begun moving his subjects about like chess pieces. (Though with apologies to Conway, it's Thor, not Sif, who's unknowingly been entrusted with the fate of Asgard. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.)
We might be at first inclined to think that Odin has made these decisions in order to accomplish exactly what he's told Sif--to save these individuals from the dire fate he suspects is coming. Yet there's more at work here, with Sif practically panicking at the ominous threats of World's End, Kartag the Keeper, and Blackworld. Whatever happens to Asgard, it's clear that Thor, Sif, and the others are not out of danger--but apparently they have parts to play that are of key importance to Odin, assuming that he'll be around to greet them if and when they return.
Conway has even more characters to introduce to us--old battle comrades of Odin's, with the emphasis on "old." Yet still these remain Asgardians, eager to face the enemy and fight alongside their liege to the death. (Sif should have a tenth of their character.) And in the company of his inner circle, Odin reveals the identity of the foe they will soon face.
The thought that's likely crossed your mind at this point, dear reader, is precisely the observation that Conway must side-step (or outright ignore) in order to proceed with this story: basically, that there was really nothing stopping Odin from intervening here and preventing Loki's actions before the damage was done and Mangog freed. Hasn't Conway already said it? "And to Odin's power, time and space are as nothing." We've already seen that Odin knew of his mistake and of Loki's intention in plenty of time to act, in any one of a dozen different ways available to him. You and I could probably think of a few solutions, just shooting from the hip: (a) Retrieve Loki before he acts. (b) Render Loki powerless. (Odin has done it with Thor often enough.) (c) Imprison Loki as he did Mangog. Or even how about (d) Diverting Thor to stop him. (Which seems more important than dispatching him on an errand to a well.) At least Odin had the good sense not to confide in Sif. Jeez, at this news, the poor thing would crumble in despair and sobs.
Instead, beyond all reason, Odin behaves as if he's helpless to prevent Loki from acting. Regardless, given the power and disposition of Mangog, Loki unfortunately won't be reaping any rewards from successfully completing his scheme.
Gee, what do you know--Mangog imprisoned Loki. Was that so hard?
As for Thor, he and his comrades mostly spend the issue encountering hostile creature-sentries as well as indigenous trolls that attempt to keep them from advancing further. After dealing with their opposition, Thor saves the life of one of the trolls--Kygar--who in repayment offers to guide them through the territory toward their goal.
Odin seems to have placed a lot of stock in the success of Thor's quest to the "Twilight Well," but Conway won't be providing the reason why in this issue--nor is there time, as Mangog's advance has brought him within striking distance of Asgard. And with his enduring hatred of all Asgardians, and most especially Odin, strike he will!
Don't worry, Sif--what you don't know can't hurt you!
Hey, you heard the man!

- "MatPat is an information addict. That's why Game Theory runs the gamut from the psych of Batman to the zoology of Frogger. He's like the Mythbusters of gaming."
- —Matpat
Matthew Robert "Matt" Patrick, also known by his nickname MatPat, is an American YouTube educator, live streamer, and media researcher and theorist who has co-created multiple YouTube channels with his wife Stephanie Cordato. MatPat's first and most popular channel is The Game Theorists, a hub in which he and several other content creators upload edutaining videos about gaming. MatPat himself hosts Game Theory, the channel's main show, in which he posts theories backed by research about aspects of games, including their lore and scientific, mathematical and historical aspects. The Film Theorists, his spin-off second channel, is where he hosts Film Theory, a Game Theory spin-off focusing instead on cinema and television. GTLive, his third channel, is where he and Stephanie archive livestreams, which go live at 4:00 pm PST every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
MatPat was born in Medina, Ohio as an only child and grew to love two arts: video games and theater. He graduated valedictorian in high school and went to Duke University, where he met Stephanie in a game programming class. MatPat had some decent success as a stage actor but quit as he and Stephanie were financially struggling and had no luck getting a new job. During this time, MatPat watched an episode of Extra Credits about tangential learning, which inspired him to start Game Theory originally as a means of adding something new to his resume. Game Theory slowly started building a fanbase after getting featured on several websites, such as Reviewtopia and ScrewAttack! and started incorporating elements from MatPat's directing experience and fan submissions (such as a logo and SpellingPhailer's intro music). Its success helped MatPat with his career and opening new job prospects.
As of November 2017, The Game Theorists has acquired over nine million subscribers and has exceeded 1.3 billion views. The Film Theorists has gained over 5.3 million subscribers and more than 500 million views, and GTLive has accumulated over 1.3 million subscribers and more than 100 million views, making him have a combined total of 15.6 million subscribers and nearly two billion views on YouTube. MatPat often collaborates with other YouTubers who use his channels as a platform for their videos. Such YouTubers include Gaijin Goombah, Ronnie Edwards, Trailer Drake, FootofaFerret, and many others whose series have become staples of MatPat's channels.
In the summer of 2016, MatPat hosted a show, The Runner, on go90. MatPat also hosts a YouTube Red show on the GT channel called MatPat's GAME LAB, in which he and a few guests (including guest YouTubers and other Theorists) are trained by professionals to simulate events in popular games. So far, only one season has aired.
Matthew Patrick was born on November 15, 1986 in Medina, Ohio to Robert and Linda Patrick.
MatPat graduated from college on December 28, 2009, and afterward moved to New York where he auditioned for numerous theatrical roles such as The Blood Brothers and Bram Stoker's Dracula for approximately two years. MatPat created a YouTube account under the name MatthewPatrick13, where he occasionally uploaded his performances on stage and singing auditions. During this time, he married his college girlfriend Stephanie Cordato on May 19, 2012, who had worked with him on a Legend of Zelda parody, The Epic of Stew. He eventually quit his job as a stage director and in the acting business in general after hardly getting any roles, and a deciding factor was seeing a horrible Spider-Man musical(Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark), which finalized his decision to pursue another career. Another factor was lack of food, which resulted from the constant work and low income that his career provided.
For the next two years, MatPat sent out requests for different jobs such as a television producer, programmer, and a movie director, only to receive no responses. Matthew decided to create his own web series that used science, history, and philosophy to discuss popular video games. He decided to call the web series Game Theory and eventually changed his channel name to The Game Theorists.
The Game Theory promotional trailer was uploaded on April 11, 2011, and uploaded the first episode of the series: "Is Chrono Trigger's Time Travel Accurate?", four days later. The video explained how the time travel in Chrono Trigger worked. The video currently has almost two million views. In the seventh episode, he was interviewed by internet show host Ronnie Edwards, on the fourth episode of Ronnie's podcast series Random Internet Encounters. He gained an interest in Ronnie's talent and offered to promote his internet show, Digressing and Sidequesting, by allowing Ronnie to move the series to MatPat's channel, which Ronnie accepted. Many videos later, a fellow Ohioan hired him as a YouTube audience development consultant to build fanbases for new Youtubers. MatPat met hundreds of theorists at the SGC Theorists convention and offered to promote their channels. This, along with a steady flow of new content being produced, kept the channel growing at a brisk rate.
As his videos gained popularity, many started their own theory channels, including LockStin. On July 2, 2012, The Game Theorists uploaded a video titled "Game Exchange: New Partner Show Coming This Thursday". This video announced the fact that Patrick would be having another theory series on his channel called Game Exchange. Instead of telling only secrets about video games like Game Theory, Game Exchange explains the many secrets in video games relating to culture. The second video of the new series, by the name "Game Exchange: Japanese Culture in Kirby, Mario, and Zelda", was uploaded on July 5, 2012, three days after the first one.
On August 30, 2012, another YouTuber from the convention by the username DigressingNSQ, whose real name is Ronnie "Oni" Edwards, uploaded a video on MatPat's channel called "Hit Points and Health Bars, Digressing and Sidequesting". The video received enough views to become another series on the channel, and thus, MatPat made a deal with DigressingNSQ to give him access to the channel and together they made a new series known as Digressing and Sidequesting. This series included the infrastructure of creating a game and how they would function. This series, however, was inactive for more than a year due to not enough views, but it returned in December 2014. On Dec 28, 2013, creators "Trailer" Drake McWhorter and Kenny Landefeld, launched a new show on The Game Theorists known as Crossover. Focusing on "the six degrees of separation", Crossover aimed to bridge the gaps of the gaming multiverse but moved on to focus on video game timelines. Later, on Aug 26, 2014, Crossover creator "Trailer" Drake launched a new series called Smash History. This series discusses the Super Smash Bros. franchise and where its features originate from previous Nintendo games.
On May 12, 2014, MatPat created a new channel "filmtheorists" (later changed to The Film Theorists), This series was similar to Game Theory, except it conducted analysis and theory videos on movies and television shows rather than on video games. 12 episodes of this new series were already uploaded on the new channel by the time the announcement was made.
On August 20, 2015, he uploaded the episode "The Assassin's Creed Shared Universe Conspiracy". At the end, he announced that he would begin live streaming for the first time ever on the channel on August 26 at 7:00 PM PST. On September 14, he created the channel GTLive and has continued to post live streams on that channel since October 9.
However, on May 6, 2016, Mat Pat made his biggest announcement yet. He announced an internet show on YouTube Red known as "Game Lab", in which over 50 people are gathered to show what video games would exactly be like in real life. The show is featured on YouTube Red and has been a huge success.
On March 12, 2018, he uploaded a video titled "The Most IMPORTANT Video I've Ever Made (NOT CLICKBAIT) where he announced that they were pregnant with their first child. They later revealed on Instagram that their child is a boy, and the due date was July 4, 2018, but their son was born a few days later. Oliver Julian Patrick was on July 9, 2018.
Channel Format
MatPat's videos study video games and develop theories about them. Unlike most other channels that work for ScrewAttack, his channel analyzes video games rather than playing and commenting on them. His theories often touch on academic subjects from science to history to philosophy, combining them with the video game's lore to provide an educational experience for viewers.
Video Style
The videos in Game Theory consist of him speaking over pictures and other video clips. Besides using factual evidence and research, MatPat also puts a lot of humor into his videos, usually exaggerating his humor far more than he would in real life. In some videos, he explains theories on the gaming community - meta-theories - rather than within a game's specific universe.
MatPat has created many milestone specials to thank his viewers for their support whenever he received a certain amount of subscribers. On March 28, 2013, when his channel reached 100,000 subs, he received the opportunity to meet his fans in person at the SGC gaming convention in Dallas Texas. When the channel reached 500,000 subscribers on September 23, 2013, he uploaded a Draw My Life video to celebrate.
Million Subs Milestone
As of that video, the sentence Help us reach one million subs!, along with a subscription link to his channel, was put in the description of every Game Theory episode until the milestone was reached on December 18, 2013, for which the special was uploaded on the New Year's Eve of that year. The special, Why You Play Video Games (One Million Subscriber Special), was a theory on why people, in general, play video games. On April 27, 2014, the channel had reached two million subscribers, but the special wasn't uploaded until July 21, 2014, almost two months later. The three million subscriber milestone video was uploaded on the 28th of December 2014 called Game Theory: EXPOSED!
On April 18th, 2018, they livestreamed the moment they hit ten million. The episode was uploaded on the GTLive channel on the 23rd of that month.
Film Theorist Launch
On June 2, 2015, MatPat launched a second channel, The Film Theorists and its GT counterpart Film Theory.
GTLive Launch
On August 20, 2015, when the channel was reaching five million subscribers, MatPat uploaded Game Theory: The Assassin's Creed Shared Conspiracy. At the end of the video, he announced that he would begin live-streaming every weekday starting on August 26. In preparation, he created a new channel titled GTLive on September 14. On October 9, 2015, he began posting the streams on that channel rather than on his main one. The channel currently has over two million subscribers.

Day 1. Make earrings. And I did...two quick and easy pairs. The triangle tops are made with Miyuki Delica blend #986, which is one of my all time favorites because it's made of varying shades of purples, greens, and golds. I see a matching bracelet and necklace in the kind of near future for these. I made my version of Fusion Beads "Poseidon" earrings, which calls for 8 mm Swarovski crystal bicones, in fuchsia and gold because that's pretty much all I had on hand at the time.
Day 2. Use Up Some Bead Leftovers: This was a toughie. I don't actually have bead leftovers. Now, don't hate me because I'm organized, but I do really and truly but everything away after I'm finished with a project. No leftover bead soup for me. So I cheated and dived into my drawer of cane class beads and made myself this lovely bracelet.
Day 3. Learn a New Beading Technique: Like I said, I do have some due dates to consider so this is going to have to wait until next month when I have more time. I'd love to play with that new crystal clay I've been hearing so much about.
Day 4. Organize Your Bead Area: So I did. And here are the before and after pictures to prove it. Of course there's no guarantee that it will stay cleaned up for more than a day or two.
Day 5. Incorporate Chain Into a Jewelry Design: Maybe next month.

Men's Fairbanks™ 503 Mid Shoe is rated out of 5 by 138.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Josephw from worth it its comfortable to wear it esp. during the snowy days, keep the feets dry and cosy. But it runs a bit too wide for me (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sethican from My favorite - bought 3 pairs I bought a pair of black for casual wedding photography shoes. Bought another because I liked them so much. Bought a third in another color. I like the flat and supportive soles. I've had ankle surgeries and require stabile shoes. These met the needs

Rated 5 out of 5 by MountainMan2020 from Great Product, Great Quality, Great Pair of Boots!!! I bought the men's Fairbanks 503 Mid boots in the collegiate Navy/ bright Copper color and they are a great pair of boots! These boots are high quality, waterproof, light, versatile boots that can be used for any outdoor activity. Recently I used these boots in the snow and my feet stayed completely dry throughout the day. I plan on also using them for hiking, camping and trail running. I do not regret my purchase. Columbia makes high quality, durable products that I enjoy using. I definitely recommend this product!!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jeremy60516 from Runs narrow and not quite waterproof I had pretty high expectations for these; I've loved the other Columbia shoes/boots I've owned in the same size. So I was disappointed that these felt so narrow to the point of barely fitting. Out in a wetter, more slushy snow water started to get in through some of the front seams too, making them less functional. Now that they're broken in they feel a bit better, but overall these did not live up to the hype.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Adam20 from Great Shoe! I've had these for about a month now and I've taken them on a couple hikes and I wear them around day to day especially when its raining or snowing. They have held up very well and are very comfortable! They are nice and snug but not too tight(unless you tie the laces too tightly).

Rated 5 out of 5 by ChrisNC from Good shoe but feels narrow I bought these as an all around every day shoe. I like that they are light, pretty flexible, and look good. As soon as I put them on I noticed two things: they were right on length wise but they are narrow. I don't have what I consider wide feet but they were boarder line painful. I wore them around the house for a day hoping they would stretch or break in and they did. After about 4 days now I can wear them all day without any issue. I have not gotten them wet so I can't speak about the water resistance. Also they aren't warm at all. Today was 28 degrees out at my feet were pretty cold. They aren't winter boots. Also I'm not used to high tops so I wore ankle socks today and now I have a blister on my Achilles' tendon where the high back rubbed it but that's my fault. The lacing pattern is weird but works and feels secure. I'm not sure about the durability of the laces, I see them wearing out early. Overall I'm satisfied with them and look forward to wearing them more.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AsianJesusNYC from Stylish design shoes Giving it a 4 stars because the back stab the heel area is a bit rough when I first worn it. It rubbed against my skin and it was hurting all day. I think a simple longer socks will prevent it happening until the material got soften. Otherwise, fit and feel great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GSak from Impressive I'm impressed with the comfort and light weight of these waterproof hiking shoes. They feel like sneakers! Great for mild to warm wet days when I don't need big, heavy boots. These are not meant for really cold days as one would need more insulation so keep that in mind.

Rated 5 out of 5 by r4qh from Great style, light and secure grip Style is pretty much on point with pictures, which is nice. Only worn inside yet. Shoes feel true to size, but seem to run a little wide with a little lower arc support than expected. They feel good and comfortable with decent support, but the ankle still feels free. They are moderately rigid and give a secure grip. I usually replace my laces on most shoes/boots as they either compress my injured foot to much or won't stay tied up unless doubled. Can't comment on durability yet, but laces hold in place and design seem to be soft on the foot even when tied up good. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by SnakeEyes from Sneakerheads Comfort I was looking for a boot that gave the comfort of a sneaker. These are the Answer to my desires in a sneaker boot. They are warm which means I don't need to wear thick socks. Living in a major city on cold rainy days requires something comfortable and durable to walk in. The Fairbanks is the answer. The only thing I'd change though is the smell of rubber, however, after a few washes it goes away. Its like that new car smell that you know eventually goes away. I recommend this product if you're looking for the comfort in a sneaker with the design and purpose of a boot!

Rated 5 out of 5 by AguQ from Great purchase I bought these shoes online, without trying them on. I picked the sized based on another pair.

I put them on and it was a perfect fit, solid, warm, and comfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WesinVA from These are gonna be great Just got these and have only worn them once but man they're comfortable.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Conor17 from New favorite work show I work in an industry where I am on my feet for 12+ hours a day. We also work in a variety of environments and weather, so I have found that I prefer a hiking boot over a traditional work boot. I used to wear a stiffer boot, but recently started looking for a softer one. The Fairbanks was that boot. It was soft but a secure fit and very comfortable to wear all day long. They look great too. I wish the mid top came in as many colors as the hightop, because I would buy them all. I bought my second pair shortly after the first because I liked them so much. cons: the boots make my feet sweat, but not a lot, just enough to make your toes damp. this is only a problem when its frigid outside because then my toes get cold. I feel like that's pretty normal for a waterproof boot though. Also these boats are not 100% waterproof. They do a pretty good job, but I would say they are extremely water resistant. When the boot is soaked, the material seems to empty like a sponge when pressure from a step is applied. Some of the water emptying, feels like it makes its way inside the shoe. Overall, I think this is a wonderful boot and very sharp looking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MNCanadian from Light weight, waterproof, comfortable Exactly what I was looking for. Light weight, waterproof and comfortable shoe, with good grip for winter snow and ice. Not too bulky for driving, or too warm walking around indoors. Originally thought they felt a little narrow, but soft sides and easy of adjusting laces to be a little looser on the foot, and they are very comfortable.

They don't feel like your typical clunky hiker, more like a sneaker. The wide lacing on them allows me to slip them on as well, I leave them double knotted all the time and they are still supportive . My only personal gripe is they look so cool I don't want to get them too muddy haha. Columbia really did great on this one.

Rated 4 out of 5 by WhyDoINeedANickname from Cool looking, comfortable boot I get lots of compliments on the look of this boot. Its not too thick which is a problem for me with many other boots because I work in an office and most boots make my feet sweat because they're thick. Not as breathable as casual shoes, but not terrible. On complaint I have is that there is a considerable amount of glue sticking out where the sole meets the upper. It's not super noticeable but it's not hard to spot and doesn't look great. Makes an otherwise good shoe feel a bit cheap - something I'd expect from a K-Mart shoe but when it's like that on a $110 shoe I definitely think less of the Columbia brand as a whole.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AllenWasHere from Utility, form, and function I really like these shoes. The look and design of them remind me of Star Wars which is partially why I bought them. They are comfortable with a caveat; they cannot be tied as tightly as I would like as I like my shoes tied more tightly than loosely. That being said they still fit well and are comfortable. I wore them in some prematurely early Chicago snow and they felt good and gripped the snowy/icy city streets well and stayed dry. I haven't yet wore them in a downpour but I ran them under a faucet and the water beaded off nicely. I do have faith, however, that they will hold up well in the rain as I've gotten many waterproof Columbia shoes in the past and they've always been top notch. I should mention these shoes had a break in period that left the back of my ankles a little raw but that's to be expected with many new mid-ankle high shoes. Overall I am happy with the look, feel, and function of these shoes and would recommend them to anyone who is outside in the elements a lot and also likes to look stylish.

A woman was arrested Friday after she gave birth in the bathub of a Florida motel room during what she told authorities was a crack cocaine binge.
Chrystal Hassell, 37, is charged with child neglect and remains under suicide watch in Marion County Jail. A Department of Children and Families spokeswoman told WPBF that the agency has taken custody of the infant boy and his 11-month-old brother.
Hassell told police that she didn't realize she was pregnant again until March, when she felt the baby kick. She told police that she resolved not to smoke crack once she learned of the pregnancy, but that she'd gone on a binge the day before the baby boy was born.
The woman had the child in a bathtub in an Ocala motel room, and cut the umbilical cord with her teeth, the Ocala Star Banner reported. Hassell called 911 once the child turned blue. The child remains in critical condition at a Gainesville hospital.
In a separate interview with the newspaper, Hassell said she had used drugs since she was a teenager, and that both her 11-month-old son and her 16-year-old daughter were born addicted to drugs because she used while she was pregnant with them.
The father of Hassell's two boys, Vincent Terry, is in Marion County Jail on a warrant out of Colorado. The Ocala Star Banner conducted a jailhouse interview with Terry.
Terry said he and his girlfriend have several problems facing them, such as finding a place to live, but that he is looking forward to a life with Hassell and believes they can overcome any obstacle.
"Of course we're going to stay together. My kids are here. She's not a bad person. She just got a problem and, together, we'll fight it," he said.

GPs lose six working years per month seeing patients made ill by inaccessible homes
27 February 2015
- GPs spent the equivalent of 15,000 hours[1] or six working years with disabled and older patients who have health problems because of their inaccessible home last month.
- Leonard Cheshire Disability says the lack of 'disabled-friendly' homes in the UK is placing intolerable pressure on health and care services.
- The charity says it would cost Government nothing to require all new homes to be built to accessible standards.
- The Royal College of General Practitioners support the findings.
GPs spent in total the equivalent of 15,000 hours or six working years last month dealing with disabled and older patients who have suffered preventable injuries, illness or other health problems because they live in inaccessible homes, according to charity Leonard Cheshire Disability.
The new findings from a poll of over one thousand UK GPs[2] found that 95 per cent of them have patients with health problems related to inaccessible homes. The charity also found that nearly three per cent (2.9%) of GPs total caseloads relate to inaccessible housing. If true of all GPs, Leonard Cheshire Disability estimates the health cost to be the equivalent of around £300m[3] every year.
According to Leonard Cheshire Disability, thousands of disabled and older people are trapped in unsuitable homes, and unable to move around freely. Many people are confined to a limited number of downstairs rooms and face the daily nightmare of washing in their kitchen, sleeping in their living room, using a commode for a toilet, and not being able to get in and out of their front doors. Inaccessible housing can lead to physical injuries, such as trips and falls, as well as mental health problems.
Sally-Anne Walker, 50, lives in an inaccessible home with her husband Steve and two children in Southampton. Sally has chronic lymphedema – a disability which means it is very hard for her to use her legs.
Sally is unable to go upstairs in her home and is forced to spend all her time in the living room, including using a faulty portable toilet downstairs. She has not been outside her home for two years.
'I tripped in a narrow part of my home and suffered a bad fall last year. It took eight paramedics three hours to lift and move me from the house into an ambulance. A lot of my health problems are related to my home, it's really depressing. I rely on my GP to come out and see me when I need it most but often he's not able to.'
Another person facing severe difficulties is Stacie Lewis, 42, who lives in a privately rented flat in London. Stacie has leukaemia and her daughter May, 5, is severely brain-damaged, being unable to walk or even sit up.
'As you can imagine, life can be difficult. I'm too weak to carry my daughter upstairs. She's a growing girl who cannot walk or even throw an arm around the person carrying her so my daily routine can be stressful and exhausting. Even with the combination of my cancer and my daughter's disabilities, we have not even been placed in the top band of our council's housing waiting list and will probably be waiting for years.
'I need to see my doctor regularly about the pain caused from carrying my daughter around the flat, and they're really concerned it's affecting my ability to fight the cancer.'
Clare Pelham, Chief Executive of Leonard Cheshire Disability, said:
'For many of us, our homes are a haven — places where we look forward to relaxing with our friends and family. For many thousands of disabled and older people, their homes are a danger to their health and wellbeing.
'It is shocking that GPs are spending precious time on injuries and illnesses directly related to inaccessible homes at a time when there's overwhelming pressure on our health care system. And yet it would cost absolutely nothing for the government to require all new homes to be built to accessible standards. With our ageing population and an increase in the number of disabled people, these homes are needed now. We literally cannot afford to wait while disabled and older people are suffering.'
Dr Maureen Baker, Chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners, said:
'GPs treat the whole person, so we are only too aware that inaccessible or inadequate housing can have a negative impact on our patients' physical and mental health.
'General practice is currently under huge pressure dealing with the demands of a growing and ageing population with decreasing resources and a chronic shortage of GPs.
'We need at least 10,000 more GPs across the UK by 2020 to keep up with demand, so it goes without saying that the service we could provide for our patients with an extra 15,000 working hours every month, is immense.
'We want what is best for our patients, and taking steps to ensure that they can live safely, in their homes, without constant fear of an accident will not only be good for them, but - as this research shows – will help reduce pressure on general practice and the NHS as a whole.'
As part of its Home Truths campaign, Leonard Cheshire Disability is calling on Government to ensure all new homes are built so they are easy to adapt (known as Lifetime Homes) if people become disabled. The charity also wants 10 per cent of large developments to be fully wheelchair accessible so that disabled people can live independently and safely.
