English as an Additional Language (EAL) and French as an Additional Language (FAL) services are provided in PEI for children from kindergarten to grade 12. Children and youth who speak a language in the home other than English or French, or who were born outside Canada, are eligible for these services. All school-aged children who meet these criteria must contact the EAL/FAL Reception Centre before registration into the public education system.
Children born in 2014 are eligible to start kindergarten in September 2019.
If you have not yet completed a kindergarten registration at the EAL/FAL Reception Centre for your eligible child, you should call or email as soon as possible to set up an appointment.
When you come for your appointment, please bring the following documents:
- landing papers for the child and parents or guardians
- proof of address in PEI (e.g. rental agreement or a bill mailed to you with your name and address)

Harp Hire
Renting a harp is an affordable way to begin playing, and there are a number of different options available depending on your location and budget. In the UK, the Clarsach Society has a number of harps available to hire extremely reasonably (usually around £25 a month with a one-time joining/admin fee of around £40 (please check their website for the most up-to-date prices).
Most harp makers will also rent out harps, and will often deduct a proportion of the rental amount from the sale price should you decide to buy the instrument. This is a slightly more expensive way of hiring an instrument than going through the Clarsach Society (on average £45 - £60 a month, plus deposits/fees as set by the harpmaker), but has the advantage of providing you with a new (or nearly new) harp of excellent quality and letting you try out a particular make/model that interests you. Additionally, if you fall in love with your hire harp, there is always the option of purchasing it!
Here is a (non-exhaustive) list of reputable harpmakers/retailers with harp rental options:Teifi Harps
Pilgrim Harps
Camac Harps/Telynau Vining
Clive Morley Harps
Private rental
You can also hire a harp privately from a harpist or harp teacher - teachers in particular will often keep student harps for this very purpose. We're a pretty friendly bunch, so never be afraid to just send a message asking for advice!I also have a number of harps available for hire - please contact me if you are interested.

I went backpacking on Friday and Saturday.
Hiking at fast speeds up a mountain with a backpack on might not be the best feeling physically, but the moment I saw that special place where I could call home for next 24 hours, reminded me of why I put my body through this.
Ah yes.... The top.
The view. The air. The clear, fresh lake. The height. The nature.
The best part?...Knowing that at the bottom of the mountain are worries, deadlines, stresses, struggles, and work.
But right now, I am on the top. On the top enjoying God's gift to man. Leaving everything else behind.

Copy, Paste and Delete Connection Points
You can copy connection points from one shape (or master) to another, pasting back to the original shape duplicates all the connection points which can be useful if you want, say, to create a large number of connection points and then edit them.
Once a set of connection points has been copied they can be used to paste many times to as many shapes as you want.
The connection points are not stored in the regular copy/paste buffer so you can use normal copy and paste operations without overwriting any stored connection points.
This utility can also be used to delete all the connection points for any number of shapes on a page, even grouped shapes.

Pregnancy and Working Out
Pregnancy and Working Out – Pearl Street Fitness Style
Got the sign of a double-pink line? Then it's time to learn how you should modify your workout throughout all trimesters of your pregnancy. Denver's Colorado's Best Show featured Pearl Street Fitness to show off some rockstar pregnant moves and offer great advice.
Of course you want to stay as in shape as you can. You'll bounce back faster. You'll be stronger when you go to pick up your new baby. And studies even show that pregnant women who stay active have leaner kids at the age of 5. Now that's a strong, confident role model! What to do:
1. Maintain Your Activity Level. What was your activity level pre-pregnancy? Whatever you were doing, you should be able to continue doing, with modifications to stay safe. So don't go overboard and start a new intense workout unless you were doing it already.
2. Watch the Basics. Watch your heart rate, stay hydrated, don't overdo it. These are pretty common sense. You're building a life inside you. You're already working overtime.
3. Modify! Modify! Modify! Be sure that whoever you're training with knows you are pregnant (even if it's still a surprise to the rest of the world) so your trainer can modify exercises for you.
Lizzie's Tips to Avoid Ab Separation (aka Diastasis Recti)
Here are some great tips from Lizzie (who is the VERY pregnant one featured on the show) Be sure to avoid doing anything where you're tummy/abs bulge out. Often, this is anything in the plank position as the strength is not there to hold the abs in with control in which case causes more distress and destruction to the separation. Think about lengthening through your upper body (strong, confident posture) and sucking your belly button in and up through standing movements. Avoid straight sit ups as well. Modify with side planks or cat/cow position on all fours lifting one arm at a time. In your first trimester be SUPER cautious of any ab focused activity (like crunches) as this can be a cause of the separation starting.

If you enjoy Maths and feel confident with the work you have met so far at GCSE, then you should seriously consider this course. It is an exciting subject studying numbers, quantities, shape, space, their relationships, and a lot more. It attempts to describe this world as accurately and rigorously as possible, and thus is widely regarded as "the most precise human language". The subject has got a huge number of fields and branches, and is fundamental to much of science and technology.
A level Mathematics will enable you to;
- Understand mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence, fostering enjoyment and providing a strong foundation for progress to further study, and extend your range of mathematical skills and techniques.
- Understand coherence and progression in mathematics and how different areas of mathematics are connected, applying mathematics in other fields of study and be aware of the relevance of mathematics to the world of work and to situations in society in general.
- Use your mathematical knowledge to make logical and reasoned decisions in solving problems both within pure mathematics and in a variety of contexts, and communicate the mathematical rationale for these decisions clearly.
- Reason logically and recognise incorrect reasoning, generalising mathematically, constructing mathematical proofs in order to use your mathematical skills and techniques to solve challenging problems which require them to decide on the solution strategy.
- Recognise when mathematics can be used to analyse and solve a problem in context, representing situations mathematically and understand the relationship between problems in context and mathematical models that may be applied to solve them.
- Interpret solutions and communicate their interpretation effectively in the context of the problem, reading and comprehending mathematical arguments, including justifications of methods and formulae, and communicate their understanding.
- Use technology such as calculators and computers effectively and recognise when such use may be inappropriate.
Mathematical ability is very highly regarded by both universities and employers.
An A level in Maths is essential for many degree courses (such as physics, engineering and, of course, mathematics itself) and is highly desirable in a wide range of subjects such as chemistry, natural sciences, architecture, computing and economics.
There is a national shortage of mathematicians, and employment prospects are good.
This course will be assessed over three papers, each representing one third of the overall grade, all of which have to be sat in the same academic year.
Papers 1 and 2: (Pure Mathematics 1 and 2) will assess proof, algebra and functions, coordinate geometry, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, calculus, vectors and numerical methods.
Paper 3: (Statistics and Mechanics) is in two sections. In the Statistics section students will be assessed on statistical sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability, statistical distribution and hypothesis testing. In the Mechanics section students will be assessed on quantities and units in mechanics, kinematics, forces and Newton's laws and moments.
For admission to A level Mathematics, our usual minimum requirements are:
- Five GCSEs at grade 5 or above.
- Students wishing to study Science or Maths at A level will need to achieve a grade 7.

According to the Arkansas State Police, a family had searched on foot for a miniature cow with a purple halter that had gotten loose on interstate 30 with no luck when they called for help.
For the next two days while paroling the highway, Arkansas State Troopers in kept an eye out for the lost cow.
On Monday, Corporal Hamilton spotted the miniature cow in the median, and contacted an off-duty trooper with a truck, according to a Facebook post.
Trooper Henley showed up to help Corporal Hamilton in catching the scared mini-cow.
The post also includes, "After some tactical maneuvering, they were able to catch the cow and to make sure she didn't get loose again, they let her ride shotgun!!"
The two troopers took a few selfies with the cow before Henley took her to his house to get some food and water while they waited for the family to arrive and bring her home.

Figueroa Corridor Streetscape Plan
Los Angeles, CA
The Redevelopment Agency of LA enlisted IBI Group to convert a four-mile stretch of Figueroa – a busy/high-traffic corridor in Los Angeles – to a pedestrian and bike-friendly street. Transforming the busy thoroughfare and its 28 intersections into a complete street will be a significant milestone for the notoriously car-centric city, making it more accessible to cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users alike.
North Bank Bridge Park
Boston and Cambridge, MA
IBI Group, as an equal partner in a Joint Venture that consisted of Greenman-Pederson Inc., WSP (formerly Ammann & Whitney), and Stantec (formerly Vollmer Associates), designed the final piece of the waterfront park system in the New Charles River Basin, located beneath the new Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge.
Aberdeen Transit Plaza and No. 3 Road Corridor Restoration
Richmond, BC
While prior transit stations within Vancouver's SkyTrain system simply met the sidewalk-adjacent busy streets, the new Canada Line stations within Richmond, BC's downtown core embarked upon a different program; to ensure that the "heart" of each transit station along No. 3 Road was a well-appointed transit plaza radiating outward to the transit-oriented development (TOD) communities it served.

Game of Thrones season eight disappoints
June 5, 2019
I was stunned when Arya flipped her knife and killed the Night King- saving Winterfell. Daenerys burning down innocents while the Unsullied and the Dothraki pillaged King's Landing was a WOW moment. Euron coming out of nowhere with his ballistas and taking down a dragon was another. Game of Thrones season eight was full of these dramatic moments– which make for impressive tv– but don't fit the overall narrative cohesively.
Game of Thrones' episode six two weeks ago was the compilation of eight years of TV for viewers… and it left me disappointed. Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss managed to take the most popular streaming television show of all time and ruin all goodwill from the fans. Over 1.6 million fans signed a Change.org petition to have HBO remake the final season of Game of Thrones. I agree that the season should be re-made.
At the beginning of the season, I wondered how they would manage to wrap up all the loose ends in just six episodes, even though some ran 90 minutes. The White Walkers, Cersei, and the tension between Jon and Daenerys all had to be resolved in six episodes. Six! The second episode was the high point of the season for me. I actually liked "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms." I think that they did a good job showing emotional moments and wrapping up characters' arcs like the relationship of Grey Worm and MM, Brienne being knighted. I went into the following episode, "The Long Night," expecting a bloodbath and was left underwhelmed. Most characters did not have to survive, especially because they served no purpose later in the season. After episode three, I shifted to wondering how they would manage to fill the remaining half season with enough content. Episodes three through six felt both rushed and too slow at the same time.
The death of Rhaegal in episode four did not make any sense at all. Benioff later explained in the post-episode interview that Daenerys "forgot about the Iron Fleet." Ignoring the fact that she was flying hundreds of feet in the air on a dragon and should have seen an armada of ships, there was a discussion about the Iron Fleet earlier in the episode at which Daenerys was present. The writers chose to ignore logic in order to fit the plot points they wanted. The issue isn't with those plot points, but bulleted list progression of the season.
I can't say that I entirely hate the plot of the season. The Night King being killed, Daenerys burning down King's Landing, Jon killing Daenerys, and Bran eventually becoming king are all plot points that do make sense but felt forced in the way they were set up. I expect that George R.R. Martin will end the book series in a similar way but take more time to setup the resolution of the series.
Season eight left me with more questions than answers.Why is Jon sent back to the Night's Watch when the White Walkers have been defeated? Who made the decision to make Bronn the master of coin when Tyrion had to explain to him how loans work in an earlier season? Why did Bran not use any of his Three-Eyed Raven Powers? Arya's Faceless Man training and her ability to steal faces was not used at all to get into Kings Landing. The actions of the characters this season aren't logical. As a result, the season feels dead of the intrigue that brought me to the show.
It's inexcusable that Benioff and Weiss rushed this season. Game of Thrones has been a phenomenal show over the past eight years. It deserves all the praise it has been given. I went into season eight with high expectations and was let down. After Jon killed Daenerys, there was no focus on arguably the most significant death in the series. The choice was just made to cut to the council half-filled with unnamed characters who go un-introduced. HBO reportedly offered 10 episodes for the final seasons with a larger budget. The lack of attention to detail in the show is shown by the Starbucks cup in the background of episode four. In the finale of the series, a plastic water bottle is in the background of the council. These mistakes sum up the final season of an otherwise amazing show: rushed, sloppy, and nonsensical.

The power of a goals-based approach to wealth
Financial markets can offer a great opportunity to grow wealth, but volatility can make investors uneasy, ushering in feelings of fear, or even greed. Reacting to market movements may sometimes seem like the right thing to do for the short term—but what about the long-term consequences?
Let's take a look at the beginning of 2018. The U.S. equity markets started out with a bang. The S&P 500 hit a record high of 2872.87 on January 26, marking the index's 14th record close in January alone—the most record closes in any single month since June 1955.
However, as the weeks progressed, the markets took a swift turn lower. Volatility skyrocketed, and the market swung wildly intraday. On February 9, the S&P closed at 2619.55, having lost about 9% of its value from its record high just two weeks earlier. Did this reflect fears of lower future corporate profits and higher inflation? Were trading algorithms shifting market dynamics? Or maybe the quick drop was due to investor worry over the future health of the U.S. economy?
Then, the following week, markets quickly reversed course and exploded higher again: The S&P 500 jumped 4.3%, posting its biggest weekly gain in five years. What should investors do? Buy, sell, hold?
Focus on yourself, not the markets
While it can be tempting to analyze moment-to-moment market movements, and let those drive your decisions, research suggests that this approach actually diminishes returns. DALBAR's annual Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior showed that the S&P 500's 20-year annualized return was 7.68%, while the average equity mutual fund investor saw only a 4.79% return on the same basis. That nearly 3% difference is often attributed to investors' reactions to the markets.1 Indeed, there is ample evidence from the field of behavioral finance suggesting that people tend to react to markets in a way that lowers returns.2 Many people tend to "buy high" and "sell low," which can cause them to "churn and burn" their own portfolios.
How can we avoid decisions that might lead to poor outcomes, and instead position ourselves for potential success?
Reframing financial decision making is a crucial starting point. Rather than reactively focusing on elements that are out of our control—markets, economies, policymakers, and the like—we can instead proactively focus on elements that we can control.
What is your money's job?
There are a number of factors that are within your control, but perhaps the most critical component in every wealth strategy is explicit identification of the primary purpose, or intent, for your money. In other words, what job do I want my money to do for me? When your decision-making process serves the primary intent for your wealth, you then have a guidepost to understand if there is truly any action that needs to be taken, given market (or other) events.
Imagine young entrepreneurs in their early 30s with no children. The couple eventually want to provide for their lifestyle when they sell their business. They have many working years ahead of them and have no intention of using their investments for decades. So for them, market volatility may be largely irrelevant. Why? They are more able to wait out ups and downs, ultimately taking advantage of potential investment returns over multiple decades.
Now imagine the same couple, but they are now in their 60s. They have three adult children and no other source of income outside of their investment portfolio. They not only need to sustain their spending, but would also like to provide for family members. So in addition to revisiting their portfolio risk level, they may want to consider factors that go far beyond investment decision making.
For example, how long do they want the money they give to their family to last? Within the children's lifetimes, or well beyond? Also, what is the most tax-efficient way to give to their family? And, based on that level of giving and their own needs, do they have enough to maintain their lifestyle? This may necessitate a dialogue with professionals about wealth structuring, investing, borrowing, income and estate tax considerations, and more. Identifying a primary intent moves a focus on investments to the broader purpose of wealth, which can align overall wealth strategy and decision making with the individual's or family's goals.
Taking a goals-based approach
To have your money work toward your goals, it helps to identify with one of four "foundational intents" for wealth.3
1. Spend: To support your lifestyle goals with the assumption that all wealth will be spent in your lifetime.
Spending all of your wealth during your lifetime can be by choice (e.g., "I'd like to bounce my last check"), or by necessity (e.g., "I feel that I may not have enough during my lifetime based on my current spending").
Traditional goals in this category focus on generating lifestyle income now or in the future, and on educational goals for children and/or grandchildren. Many people believe this is the easiest intent to manage. However, if you are truly attempting to achieve a zero balance sheet at the end of life, the risks are many (especially of over- or underspending). These continuous risks make stress-testing and contingency planning essential. Just think, would you be comfortable using equity in your home if you unexpectedly lived to 100? Reviewing your plan at least once annually on an ongoing basis can help minimize these risks.
2. Divide: To identify a set amount of money to either create a minimum wealth level or to leave to designated beneficiaries.
Many people who focus on division are interested in "keeping it simple" with respect to the path their wealth will take at the end of life. Why? Some feel they want beneficiaries to have complete control over the money they receive, or it feels like too much effort to create a "trust and estate plan."
Others are reluctant to discuss their wealth or aren't ready to commit to gifting to the future recipients. The key focal point is that the wealth goes to the intended place, and that the plan is reviewed on an annual basis—especially later in life when preservation can become more appealing. For example, when gifts become larger than anticipated, there may be a greater focus on sustaining the wealth for third and fourth generations. Also, it can be more apparent whether family members are psychologically ready to productively receive wealth and what governance may or may not be needed.
3. Preserve: To create a strategy and family culture that enable wealth to last through multiple generations.
The desire to preserve wealth across generations is enormously complex—often in unexpected ways. To support an estate plan where assets are meant to be preserved, family culture and dynamics need to be considered.
Promoting a positive family culture to foster the stewardship of wealth may require answering challenging questions such as: When are trust distributions so large they risk stifling the beneficiary's growth and development? The answer lies beyond just dollar amounts: It also depends on the level of engagement in deliberate and structured communication with beneficiaries about financial values, accountability and governance. The key to success here often depends on how well you align a wealth strategy and structure with a family culture designed to support them.
4. Grow: To create a strategy and family culture that enable wealth to grow in perpetuity (often via a family business or pooled family investments).
Perhaps the most complex of the four intents, this category requires multigenerational succession plans, as well as business and wealth strategies that are truly owned and governed collaboratively by family members. Even the best laid-out approach can end in very public and painful family disputes, making predefined exit strategies essential. To this end, a key starting point can be to identify whether your family has the human infrastructure (e.g., family members who also have a desire to grow) to support this path for your wealth.
From awareness to action
Establishing a primary intent—whether it be Spend, Divide, Preserve or Grow—can empower you to reframe financial decision making. It can motivate you and your family to collaborate, and help your professional advisors work with you to answer the following questions:
Do I have just enough, more than enough or not enough to achieve my primary intent?
Establishing the resources available—now and in the future—to serve your or your family's intent is critical. If there is not enough, working to adjust the levels of cash flow needed can help get you back on track. If there is just enough, continual monitoring of the situation may be essential. And if there is more than enough, perhaps there are other goals or opportunities to explore.
Who should be involved in the financial decision making, and when?
Establishing a group of decision makers and a culture that can support the desired intent is also important. For example, if family members don't know they will be receiving large amounts of wealth, they may not have the information or tools to successfully steward the money or a family business across multiple generations. Working with professionals to communicate the right amount of information at the right time can help you or your family meet the desired outcomes.

Question & Answer
Do you reeeeaaaally need to "Refrigerate at once", like the shipping labels say? It does not appear that any of it is in any way perishable.This is like shelf cheese and shelf "pastries"... right? So, wondering if it even needs to be refrigerated at all.
Hello Mike, Because of the cheese bars and sausage logs we do recommend refrigerating the Festive Favorites upon arrival. We hope this information is helpful!

It is a hot medium rich pink that really takes off in my yellowish light source. It appears to be eye clean and with excellent crystal. I guess I should stop and say that this pink has everything a pink lover would want in a gemstone unless you're old and set in your ways, like I am and don't want a newer style cut. I don't mind new, non traditional cuts as long as they have a valid reason for being different. Most do not have any reason to be, except the desire to be different, in my opinion. Now I will let out a secret. This is Jeff's (my photographer and friend) favorite gemstone in the collection! It is so easy to photograph this 10.52 carat beauty.

Everything was so delicious! I had the gnocchi and they were like mini clouds, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Will have to go back to try others!
Wait staff friendly and responsive when they had time, but they were dreadfully understaffed! Two waiters servicing upstairs, downstairs and the street patio is not enough. We would have stayed for a coffee after dessert and an aperitif, but the wait staff simply disappeared after dessert! They were just too busy. Cocktails were tasty, but the flavour sin the dishes were not very well balanced - the gnocchi was beautiful but the lamb it was paired with wasn't particularly good. The squid was slightly over cooked, and there was just a bit too much chilli in the mix. Slightly less and it would've been delicious, and not too overpowering. Same with the pineapple served with the basil panna cotta. Maybe something slightly more subtle? Overall, a nice evening but just a few touches that would've improved the experience.
Consistently great service, food & ambience. A favourite in Leichardt for authentic italian fare. Love the modern decor & the focaccia is a delicious appetiser

Nowadays, it is very hard to differentiate between a fake and original document because of the advancement in the level of technology.
It is important that you know for how long the agent has been in this industry. When you finding it hard to sell your house, you should consider selecting an agent who is experienced in that area.

A wooden pergola can improve the beauty of your out of doors space. Unfortunately, so many occasions when a gross sales person is promoting a specific merchandise to somebody, they are making claims that they're going to get their money back for it and that does not all the time occur; sometimes you solely get 10-20{51b408f8865ae9ae95e01ee5e753058ca185958b26f962f319662f36c255e3c6} on the greenback. So bear in mind once you make that kind of enchancment to do it to your personal benefit and the added private value.
In case you do not think a private mortgage for dwelling improvements is right for you, simply choose another option when making use of. From the moment I first met Jesse Wertjes I knew he was dependable. He and his crew repaired my storage door in no-time flat and from then on, I knew he was the suitable man for any job round the house.
One of the best ways to cease efflorescence is to halt the development of water vapor by the partitions and into your house. One wonderful way to take action is through the use of a concrete sealant on the within, thereby preventing it from making its means through into your own home. This has the additional benefit of making a vapor barrier that can seal away water vapor that would in any other case contribute to the indoor humidity levels of your under grade areas.
After you've got secured the financing on your project, it is time to get busy! If you are going to work on the challenge your self you might need to learn up on the method. Residence improvement doesn't always should be troublesome, although it may be overwhelming.

Today, I went to the Pantages Theater in Hollywood to watch The Phantom of the Opera.
I was already familiar with the musical because I watched the one on Broadway in NYC more than ten years ago when I was still just a child. I also remember watching the 2004 film version.
Now, I adore everything about this musical but what really stands out is the music.
Andrew Lloyd Webber is a genius. His music is absolutely beautiful and it really touches my heart. His music, combined with Charles Hart's lyrics, elevates the tragic plot of the musical on a level that is bound to make the audience feel all types of relatable emotions.
I love all the music but if I had to choose, my favorites are:
- The theme song (obviously!)
- "Think of Me"
- "Music of the Night"
- "Angel of Music"
- "All I ask of You"
When I was in middle school, I was in show choir and we actually performed a few of these songs for a fall recital. Hence, watching the musical tonight definitely made me feel nostalgic.
I remember trying out for a solo for a part in "Music of the Night". Unfortunately, I am not the best singer around so I did not get the part but I did put in my best effort! (and besides, I still had a great time singing the song in the choir as a group).

Dr. Hiba Siddiqui
Senior Psycho-Oncologist, Max Institute Of Cancer Care
Hearing the words, 'You have cancer!' often results in severe, and sometimes permanent changes to one's way of living and well-being. The impact transcends into professional functionality, financial stability, familial and social relationships and one's own sense of self and worth.
Experience of Cancer
I often discuss how cancer never happens to an individual, it happens to an entire family. There are lots of emotional changes and upheavals that individuals go through from the time of diagnosis, through the treatment processes and many times after recovering as well. Cancer as an experience, is not
merely a 'before and after event' in one's life, it's an impact which stays with you for a lifetime.
At the initial stages of diagnosis itself, many thoughts crowd one's mind: "Why me?", "I've never had any serious health issues before, how can I have cancer?", "I've never committed a sin, why am I being punished?", "I don't want to die!" These are serious questions with no easy answers. Living with cancer often poses a challenge to one's emotional and mental well-being. There are moments of disbelief, the need for reassurance, and sometimes choosing to not go ahead with the treatment.
Extending the impact of the diagnosis to the caregiver, the intensity and burden of fear, worries and trauma associated with the illness can take a toll on their well-being. Such distress, if ignored or prolonged can result in what is known as 'caregiver burden'. Families many a times are unable to share the diagnosis with the patient themselves or the children involved. This leads to lack of awareness, neglected self-care as well as ignorance to one's own treatment.
Living with Cancer
The condition of cancer is often times described by patients as an unwanted guest who has entered your body without your permission, and now refuses to go away. Some patients diagnosed with cancer find the life altering experience challenging.
Quality of life faces an impact in multiple aspects such as personal, social, professional, financial and psychological. Not only this, cancer impacts various sides of aperson including interpersonal relationships, sexuality, self-esteem, career and lifestyle.
However, many cancer survivors also report how the experience of cancer has had a positive impact on their mental health. They further discuss how this has made them focus more on what's important, and find a new appreciation for life. Having said that, this is highly dependent on the intensity of diagnosis, treatment and one's physical and mental health prior to the diagnosis.
Silent Impact
Physical and hormonal changes are pretty common. These often raise concerns around one's sexuality and functionality. Despite of advocacy and growing awareness, such concerns are often unspoken and unaddressed; "Why don't I have the desire for sex anymore?"; "What if my performance does not satisfy my partner or me?"; "Why do I not feel as close to my partner as I used to?". It is the need of the hour to encourage the de-stigmatization of cancer, through informed expectations and psycho-education about the impact of treatment.
Distress often sets in at very crucial junctures for the patient during his or her process of treatment. This increases the need for psychological support throughout, continuously assessing and supporting one's mental changes. According to international guidelines, 'distress'has been identified as the sixth vital sign in order to integrate the psychosocial realm in holistic, routine cancer care.
As a lay person, thoughts about cancer often brings associations with death and dying. Ironically, living with cancer does not always imply the end of life. It has often been seen that patients are able to go through their treatment smoothly and continue to lead fulfilling lives thereafter.
Psychological interventions with patients and their families can also involve working on their strengths and existing coping skills. Therefore, it is possible for people to lead normal, uninterrupted life, follow their daily routines and overcome the overall stigma associated with cancer.
Role of Psycho-oncology
Psycho-oncology, belongs to the field of health psychology, which combines psychology with cancer care and creates a bridge between the physical and mental aspects of the illness. Psycho-oncology provides specialized interventions from the time of diagnosis through treatment focusing on psycho-social aspects of patients and caregivers along with compliance building, supportive and grief counselling, dealing with loss, coping strategies, resilience building, pre- and post- operative counselling and lifestyle changes.
The need for psycho-oncology is undeniable, especially in addressing the psychological responses to cancer, such as the initial trauma, denial, anxiety, depression, fear, anger, and other manifestations during the varied stages of illness.
Tips for Improving Mental Health
- Adopt healthy lifestyle choices
- Set aside a 'Me Time' for yourself
- Build a system of social support
- Communicate and express yourself
- Encourage a problem-solving approach
- Connect to others through support groups
- Be open to reaching out for help

President Donald Trump said Wednesday, Nov. 1, that he is going to end the 'Diversity Visa Lottery Program' in wake of the terrorist attack that took place in lower Manhattan on Halloween.
"The terrorist came into our country through what is called the 'Diversity Visa Lottery Program,' a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based," Trump tweeted.
Schumer, who was a member of the House of Representatives in 1990 when the diversity visa program was created, responded by accusing Trump of politicizing the attack adding that the White House is also seeking to cut the federal counter-terrorism budget.
"I have always believed and continue to believe that immigration is good for America. President Trump, instead of politicizing and dividing America, which he always seems to do at times of national tragedy, should be focusing on the real solution — anti-terrorism funding — which he proposed cutting in his most recent budget," he told USA Today.
Media reports are suggesting that Sayfullo Saipov, the suspect for Tuesday's truck attack that left at least eight people dead and many more injured, arrived to the United States from Uzbekistan through the diversity visa program.
Trump called for "extreme vetting" after the attack and posted a follow-up tweet saying: "We are fighting hard for Merit Based immigration, no more Democrat Lottery Systems. We must get MUCH tougher (and smarter)."
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence committee, responded to Trump's tweet on MSNBC's Morning Joe stating "there are legitimate reasons to look at how much should we take immigration, new immigrants on the base of diversity, how much on the basis of merit. But I've never really heard this made as a security argument. To use this tragedy in that way to push an agenda is not what the president ought to be doing right now."
USA Today reported that Democrats have accused Trump, who made immigration restrictions and "radical Islamic terrorism" the major themes of his presidential campaign, of using terrorism as a fear factor to tackle the immigration issue in general.

Last 13th and 14th of May, GreenPoint project partners met in Newcastle to review their project advancements.
The GreenPoint project is now at an advanced stage of execution, and partners took the opportunity of this meeting to review the pilot results and deployment activities. There are still a few places to participate as company in the GreenPoint deployment. Please contact your national contact point if you are interested!
The first feedbacks on the training were very positive, and partners noticed a high interest from both the companies and the workers in the GreenPoint course. Also, partners discussed the posibility of undertaking further activities under the GreenPoint such as course new levels and topics, especially targeted to youth workers.
The full project results will be presented during the final conference of the project that will take place in Paris on September 17th. The full programme of the conference will be published soon. Meanwhile, don't hesitate to contact us for registration or further information!

Attend Doc Talk, September 17 at 1 PM
Doc Studies presents:
Monday, September 17 at 1 PM
Kellen Auditorium, Ground Floor, 66 Fifth Avenue
Directed by Stephen Maing
2018, 115 min.
Screening and Q & A with filmmaker
"A triumph of documentary filmmaking" — Tim Wu, The New York
"A powerful and suspenseful film, part detective story and part courtroom drama, fueled by a potent mix of curiosity and indignation and full of memorable characters." — A.O. Scott, The New York Times ***NY Times Critic's Pick***
They are delighted to open this Fall's Doc Talk screening series with the extraordinary new feature documentary by Stephen Maing. A deep and incisive look at the corruption within the NYPD, Crime + Punishment chronicles the lives and struggle of minority police officers, an innocent teenager imprisoned at Rikers Island, and one exceptional private investigator. Determined to fight for a more just system of policing in their city, the group of black and Latino whistleblower cops known as NYPD12 break the silence and speak out against the so-called quota system that is supposed to be illegal but continues to dictate policy in their precincts. The film gradually exposes the harmful policing practices which have plagued the precincts and disproportionately affected the poor and minority communities of New York for decades.
Executive-produced by Laura Poitras (Citizenfour, The Oath), this remarkable film had already won several awards at major festivals including the Special Jury Award at Sundance. Critics have described it as "…Vital, necessary, and groundbreaking" (Eric Hynes, Film Comment). Kenneth Turan (Los Angeles Times) says, "Crime + Punishment is a quiet documentary but a potent one. Though its approach is low key, its passion, drama and concern for exposing wrongdoing is unmistakable.
Stephen Maing is an Emmy-nominated Brooklyn-based filmmaker. His feature documentary, High Tech, Low Life told the fascinating story of two of China's first dissident citizen-journalists fighting state-monitored censorship and was broadcast nationally on PBS' award-winning series P.O.V. He has directed films for the New York Times, Time Magazine, The Nation, The Intercept and Field of Vision. He is a fellow of the Sundance Institute's Documentary Film Program and recipient of the International Documentary Association's inaugural Enterprise Investigative Journalism grant as well as a 2016 John Jay/Harry Frank Guggenheim Reporting Fellow.
Please join them for this screening and Q&A with acclaimed director Stephen Maing, hosted and moderated by Amir Husak, Director of Documentary Studies and Assistant Professor in the School of Media Studies.

Please take a moment and let us know how your experience was.
Victor R. Prisk, MD is the Medical Director of Prisk Orthopaedics and Wellness. He is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon with sub-specialty training and over 10 years of experience in treating complex conditions of the foot and ankle (through surgical and non-surgical methods alike). He originally graduated from the University of Illinois College of Medicine as an M.D. Graduate with Honors (in 2001).
In his current practice, Dr. Prisk oversees the management of many sports and dance injuries that affect the upper and lower extremities, back and neck. In addition to his work as a board certified surgeon, Dr. Prisk is a former NCAA All-American Gymnast, IFBB Professional Bodybuilder and Judge, and Professional Dancer. He cares for multiple ballet companies including the Bodiography Contemporary Ballet and The Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. He has trained multiple NPC national champions and prepped professional athletes for the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic and Mr. Olympia stages. These experiences allow him to offer various treatments beyond your typical orthopaedic surgeon with performance enhancement, weight management, and contest preparation.
While you visit him for assistance with orthopaedic problems or physical wellness and training, Dr. Prisk guarantees a hands-on, holistic care approach. You as the patient will always come first, and all optional avenues of care will be explored.
best dr.in world
Excellent physician, takes time to explain your diagnosis and treatment with friendly and accomodative staff. Highly recommended!
I was referred to Dr. Prisk by a relative. I am so grateful that I have met with Dr. Prisk. I find that he is a kind and compassionate surgeon. He is genuinely concerned about his patients well being. Takes his time to answer questions and concerns. Staff are friendly and accommodating. They will fit you into a busy schedule if you need to see the doctor. I would highly recommend Dr. Prisk to anyone needing his services.
Best doctor around. Sincerely interested in your issues. Listens. You are not another number like other practices around town. I've gone to a few doctors with vague explanations and not one actually touched and looked at my foot and leg. Does comprehensive x rays in office. Sent me for blood work and MRI. He is interested in solving the puzzle. Staff are always accommodating.
I took my daughter to Dr. Prisk for a softball ankle injury and we could not have been happier! The time he took to work with her and to make sure she was ready to get back on the field was incomparable to any other ortho she's seen. I hope my daughter has no further injuries being an athlete, but if she does, I feel confident that she will receive the best possible care from Dr. Prisk.

Xavier Woods may have suffered a knee injury as The New Day were facing Breezango and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos at tonight's WWE live event in Texarkana, Arkansas.
According to Wrestling Inc. correspondent Stephen A. Love ( @BigStevieCool95 ), who was in attendance, the injury came when Woods went for a jumping DDT and apparently pushed off the wrong way. The knee buckled and Woods went down. The referee threw up the dreaded "X" symbol to call the match and one of the Uso brothers then rolled Kofi Kingston up for a quick finish.
Woods seemed to be in pain after the rushed finish and was not able to leave on his own. He was helped to the back by Kofi, Big E and WWE's Dr. Chris Amann. One correspondent noted that Woods "wrecked" his knee.
Stay tuned for updates on Woods' status.

Poisoned Ashes
I'm working on a significant re-write of an old novel. I can write a 350-page story, but I'm often confounded by titles. Tentatively I'm calling this one "Poisoned Ashes." Feel free to chime in if you have better ideas. Anyway, here's chapter one.
Chapter One
The weedy patch of gravel was nothing special as bar parking lots go, with a spluttering neon sign, brazen guzzling from beer mugs snuck outside, chain smoking, and a general milling about. There'd almost been a fight, but that had ended with a drunken embrace of the would-be combatants. A joint was passed, a woman puked on the side of the building, two guys consoled a broken-hearted friend.
Nothing special.
One-by-one their heads turned in the direction of a siren some blocks away because it was evident the sound was growing closer. They hid their dope under bumpers and their drinks behind tires, just in case the approaching siren came from a squad car. A man sitting in a silhouetted pickup spoke to his lap until a woman sat up smoothing her hair. Two thugs argued in frantic whispers over who would hold a battered pistol barely held together with electrical tape. A swaying drunk hurried to finish whizzing between two cars.
The lights turned out to be from an ambulance that came to a dust-shoving halt near the door, and the nightclub patrons watched two paramedics hop from the cab to go to work. Samantha Hannum hoisted a cardiac monitor from an exterior cabinet and moved toward the bar entrance. Her partner, Lucas Ortiz, twelve years younger and filled with an enthusiasm that comes at the start of careers, scooped up two kits, sprinted around the grill and beat Sam to the door. She smiled wanly, as if observing a child's fascination with sand, and followed him into the bar.
"I want you guys to put in your report I called," yelled a middle-aged woman just inside the front doors. This produced a frothy cough, and it was several moments before she finished her thought: "Don't want nobody suing me over this later."
The manager led them to the back through a smoky neon-blue lounge bedecked with large-screen monitors blaring sporting events from around the globe. Waitresses in emerald-green vests with matching bow ties over neon-pink skirts that could as easily function as bathing suits shucked and dived through throngs of wing-eating, beer-quaffing men cheering this dunk or that sack. Billiard players tracked the medics, their cue sticks swaying slowly like tails of giant cats.
Finally they escaped the cacophony into a poorly lit dressing room that smelled of ashtrays and potpourri. There, slumped in a metal folding chair was another waitress, her uniform vest unbuttoned to the navel and one high heel missing in action. She was unconscious, and a string of mucous ran from her nose down to her left breast, glazing a purple tattoo in the shape of a broken heart.
The two medics went to work, Lucas setting up the EKG and a blood test for insulin shock, Sam performing a quick physical exam. "What's her name, ma'am?" asked Lucas."Velvet—work name, I think—don't know her real one." "How long has she been like this?" Sam asked. "Please don't light that." The manager jerked a cigarette away from her mouth and clicked her nails like crab claws at Sam's stare. "I don't know, maybe half an hour. Kept thinking she'd wake up." "Does she have any medical problems?" "Pills and booze. When you gonna get her outta here?"
Sam placed an oxygen mask on the girl's face as Lucas inserted an IV into her left forearm. Velvet didn't flinch when Lucas stuck her with the needle. Within two minutes the medics finished their testing and determined her blood sugar, heart rhythm, blood pressure, and oxygen tissue saturation were all within normal limits.
"What do you think?" asked Sam. "Well, I guess based on the history that she's been taking pills and drinking a lot we can assume she may have overdosed on narcotics."
"Okay, so what are you gonna do about it?"
"Give her Naloxone?" Lucas asked like a pupil who was only "pretty sure" his answer was correct.
"Yeah, let's antidote her for narcotics, see if we get a response."
Lucas was clearly elated. For one thing, he had gotten his IV on the first try this time. For the past week Sam had finished every attempt Lucas started, which was not only painful to the patients, but also embarrassing to the rookie. But now he had even made a reasonably good preliminary assessment, and he had come up with a treatment plan his instructor agreed with.
Lucas managed to draw five milliliters of the Naloxone into a syringe despite his trembling hands. While his partner and the surly manager looked on, he carefully wiped one of the rubber IV ports with an alcohol swab and guided the needle into the tubing.
"Now remember," Sam warned, "you've gotta give this stuff slowly."
But the rookie's brain was racing. Lucas shoved the syringe plunger causing the Naloxone to gush into Velvet's bloodstream and slam into her brain.
"I told you to give it slowly!" admonished Sam. "I, I'm sorry. I didn't think..." "Dammit, guy, put your head on. She's gonna wake up too fast."
As if on cue, Velvet opened her eyes and looked about the room. She was quiet for a few seconds, and then she tore at the oxygen mask as if it had been placed there to suffocate her.
"Now, Velvet, I need you to keep that on," said Lucas in sweet, frantic tones. It'll make you feel better."
"Just take it off," snarled Sam. "She's not gonna keep it on anyway."
Velvet clawed at Lucas with a scream and lunged from the rickety chair. Before anyone could react she grabbed a longneck beer bottle and smashed it on a nearby changing bench. Warm beer drizzled the air as Velvet brandished her weapon commando style. "Get the hell away from me! Get away!"
The two medics slowly advanced. Velvet turned the jagged glass on her own wrist. "I'll cut myself! I swear! I will," screamed the frightened woman. Rivulets of blood dripped from the IV site as the dangling bag yanked on her vein.
"Get her the hell out of here!" the manager screamed.
"I'll get it from her," Lucas announced, and he crouched to pounce.
Sam raised an eyebrow at him. "Just stand right there. Don't get anything from anybody until I tell you to." And then she turned to Velvet, snaring the girl's blurry gaze in her fixed stare. "Velvet," said Sam in a voice both calm and commanding, "Velvet, I want you to concentrate on what I have to say to you."
"I'll cut myself," Velvet said again, though this time with less verve.
"Velvet, can you help me? My shoes are untied." Velvet dropped her gaze to her own feet and then tried to focus on Sam's boots. "Velvet, I'm sorry, but I just don't know how many toes you have for your age. Can you help me?"
Again, Velvet looked down at her feet, then at Sam's. Several times her gaze went back and forth, and soon she forgot completely about the broken bottle, long enough for Sam to gently reach forward and lift it from the waitresses trembling fingers. The fight seemed to be all used up in Velvet, and she settled down into a sleepy calm as they covered her with a tablecloth and carried her back out through the bar to the ambulance.
Lucas cradled her under the arms and spoke to her in soothing tones. Sam led their way, holding her below the knees, shoving a shoulder through the crowd, yelling, "Excuse me," above the din all the way.
"Don't be sending me no bill for this," yelled the manager at their backs.
"It's okay, Velvet," cooed Lucas. "We're gonna take care of you. Everything's gonna be okay." Velvet looked up into Lucas' eyes, her eyebrows tense and low as she concentrated on his words. He smiled down at her, pleased he had finally made some meaningful contact.
And then she vomited on him.

Double Flowered Daffodil
Several years ago, I noticed yellow flowers popping up all over our yard. They appear at the same time as our daffodils. While they looked similar, the flowers had at least double the amount of petals. Can you tell me what they are?
This is a double-flowered daffodil. Relatively new to the gardening scene these daffodils require the same care as the traditional daffodil but provide a different look in the garden. A squirrel may have transplanted a couple of these into your yard. Once planted, they started to grow and multiply. Natural mutations can also cause this change in the flower. Enjoy the nice surprise, no matter how it arrived.

My Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Hear the Good News! While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us; all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved; for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life; the chastisement of our peace is uon Him and by His stripes we are healed; greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world; we have favor with God and man; we can do all things thru Christ who strengthens us; with God all things are possible; if God be for us who can be against us and the list goes on. It is good news, even great news. These and so many more are promises from God to us.
Went on vacation to Canadohta Lake, north of Meadville and just south of Union City. It is a quaint lake with plenty of fishing, swimming, boating, and campfires. Peace and quiet, ahh! That is until we opened the back door of the cottage we were staying in. Zooom! The grandchildren were running from their cottage across the yard and into our cottage and it was pandemonium from there on out. I have to admit, we loved it. Fish jumping in the lake, mist on the watery glass of the lake, the crackle of flames, the smell of woodsmoke, good neighbors, good food, wonderful landlords,(the Lloyds) and lots more. All blessings from God the Father.
Aches and pains, automobile accidents, bills, insults, fears, worries, persecutions, loneliness, addictions, illness, diseases, and a whole lot more problems..These too shall pass. This world is not our home and there are better days ahead for all who believe in Jesus Christ. As the Word of God says we are in this world but we are not of this world. So lets do all the good we can while we still can. And lets do it for Jesus' glory.
Yep, we are indeed a blessed people. We have shoe laces, indoor plumbing, toilet paper, pencils, erasers, toothpicks, toothbrushes, freedoms, choices, time, music, memories, vehicles, gum, bandaids, pets, friends and family. Blessed. Headed for Heaven. Good News!
God loves you and so do I,
Pastor Bruce

Norwich music business continues to thrive
PUBLISHED: 09:19 26 September 2011
There has been much publicity surrounding the difficulties facing the music industry.
A few large record labels dominate while questions of how to successfully make money from the increasing demand to download music remain unanswered.
However, quietly working away in Norwich, a company that is being run "by artists for artists" is about to celebrate 10 years of continuous growth.
Burning Shed was set up as a mail order business when musician Tim Bowness received 400 orders for a special edition CD after sending out 2,000 leaflets to a mailing list.
Together with Pete Morgan, who ran Noisebox Digital Media, the two have continuously grown the business and today it sells recordings and merchandise across the world. It also runs online stores for bands and music labels from its base in Thorpe Road.
Mr Morgan, 45, said that the idea was to help give control back to the artists as many specialist bands had seen their work reissued without getting any money for them.
Using their music connections, the business partners have seen their base of bands and labels continue to grow organically and they are now searching for bigger premises as demand on their services grow.
Mr Bowness, 47, said: "We are bucking the industry trends in two ways. The first is we are a music company that has consistently grown for 10 years.
"The second is that people are continuously told that downloading is the future, but we have exclusive downloads for cult artists and it is the vinyls that have seen the increase."
He said that he felt there was a reaction against the download culture with many people wanting a physical copy of the music.
Mr Morgan added that this was not just men in their 40s rediscovering bands they like in the 1970s and 1980s either, but that teenagers are also proving keen to buy vinyl copies of their niche artists.
Among the artists they sell products of include Porcupine Tree, No-Man and Anathema, while the labels they represent include KScope and Peaceville.
On Saturday, October 1 Burning Shed will be marking its 10th anniversary with an exclusive gig at The Curve, in The Forum, Norwich.
The gig is part of Norwich Sound & Vision 2011 and will see performances from Slow Electric, Nosound, Ex-Wise Heads and Marvin Ayres.
Guitarist Andy Butler and designer Carl Glover will also be contributing to the show.
Doors open at 7.15pm and tickets, which are £12, are available on the door or in advance from www.burningshed.com
