Insurance – How to save on insurance. One of the fields where there is more waste, due to lack of knowledge and lack of time, is the insurance field.
We have many insurances, with different coverages and prices completely out of alignment with reality. In this article we will show you how we can help save money on insurance, quickly and at no cost to you.
We're all sick of it, right?
It is true. The language of insurance is complex and with complexity comes confusion. It is not by accident. We talk about a theme that despite influencing us in everyday life is a topic with which we are not very familiar. It is normal to have some notions about car insurance, or about health insurance.
However, we have several insurance, coverages and exclusions that are very likely to be out of line with our needs. Securities play in favor of insurance companies and that is why it may make sense to have support from someone who is on your side.
Insurance and insurance companies are not all the same
This is another point that we have to keep in mind. Insurance is not all the same. In fact, although they may have the same name they have very different coverages, exclusions and prices. Insurance companies are not all the same either. Some specialize in life insurance.
Other in property insurance. Still others focus their attention on health insurance. And with different levels and specialization we have different toppings, price and service levels.
How to choose the best insurance for your specific case?
They tell us the rules of prudence that we should look for different alternatives and negotiate prices to have the best product at the best price. But to analyze something so complex and to compare different alternatives, we have to consult the market, make several simulations and choose the coverages.
To help you, Nick Adams has an insurance agent who does all the work for you, gives you all the follow up you need and helps you through the process. We save you time and money.

Cassie May Underwood
Current After-School Classes
|Basketball, Horseback Riding & Band
Cassie is sometimes explained as a "rulebreaker" or sometimes maybe even "the devil". Even though she is a beauty, you will never know the true her unless you know her personally. Sweet on the outside yet terrible on the inside, she can be very bossy and maybe even rude. Her sister, Skyler, keeps Cassie on her feet. From the moment she was born she was always a troublemaker. Her sweet blue eyes make her look kind and even innocent. Even though she can be the devil, she can be really kind to people she likes. Somedays she is rude as can be, while others she is a darling.
Cassie came into the world on October 24. Her father had been an alcoholic since she was born. She had little friends in Grade school and was always a troublemaker. She was normally in the principal's office. After her mother and father splitting up at a young age, she felt as if she wasn't appreciated. Throughout the years she became an even worse student than before.
At age 12 her father thought that it would be a good idea for him to marry again. He began dating a woman with a daughter older than Cassie. She never took a big liking to her until they got married. Living together was stressful. She went to a new grade school while her sister was in high school. Skylar never had any time for Cassie.
At age 14, Cassie went to Lakewood Academy Highschool with her sister. Being the youngest in her class it was hard to fit in. Her grades began getting worse and she started hanging out with the wrong people. Spray painting and trashing places were only the start of it.
When Skylar learned of this, she started telling Cassie what was right from wrong and boring stuff like that. Cassie took some of her advice and got slightly better grades.

SANTEE, Calif. -- A giant geyser spewed into the air Tuesday afternoon in Santee after a car struck a fire hydrant.
It happened around 4:30 p.m. near Carlton Oaks Drive and Carlton Hills Boulevard, according to San Diego Sheriff's deputies.
As a lake formed in the streets, the intersection was shut down.
Ignacio Guizar had just arrived at work at nearby Esteban's Mexican Food when the geyser formed.
"I went outside and that's when I saw the water splashing out, hitting the electric pole," he said.
Despite being drenched in water, the power lines were not affected and there were no outages, according to a spokesperson from San Diego Gas and Electric.
No one was hurt, and some people even took advantage of the situation.
"Some people actually stopped by to get their cars washed," said Judy Duong, who was visiting friends at the nearby Love Nails Salon when the geyser erupted.
It's not yet known what caused the car to crash into the hydrant.

The Maintenance of Certification Program
The Maintenance of Certification program was introduced by ISCD on January 1, 2015. Maintenance of Certification (MOC) is an opportunity developed by the ISCD to streamline the requirements of recertification; track continuing education credits earned towards recertification and provide educational programs to meet the continuing education requirements. MOC is a benefit for ISCD Members and requires no additional fees, but also is available to non-members who choose to enroll annually, in the MOC program. Staying current with the MOC program will eliminate the need to re-take and pass the certification exam.
ISCD Purpose Statement for Recertification
The competency-based recertification process is intended to assist practitioners with increasing their skills, knowledge, and competence while also ensuring compliance with the Code of Ethics. The recertification process does not, however, warrant or guarantee a competency, accuracy, or any particular service result, but, rather, participation in the process helps demonstrate the practitioner's commitment to providing the highest densitometry services through continuous education and professional development.
The ISCD acknowledges that not all sources or types of continuing education contribute equally to professional development. To maximize the quality and relevance of continuing education earned by certificants, ISCD provides a list of approved activity types. This ensures that certificants participate in quality continuing education activities that are relevant to their jobs and directly tied to the examination content outline.
What are the benefits of MOC?
- MOC provides you with access to ISCD online education to meet your continuing education requirements. ISCD encourages you to complete at least seven (7) credits each year to maintain your certification with ease.
- ISCD tracks and provides an annual update of the credits you have earned through the ISCD toward your continuing education requirements.
- CBDT and CCD will both be 5-year certification requiring 35 hours of continuing education to recertify.
- Your recertification will automatically take effect on your anniversary date, provided that you have obtained 35 CE/CME credits, your annual ISCD Membership is current, or your annual MOC agreement is in good standing.
- If your ISCD Membership or your MOC agreement lapses at any point during the certification period, you will need to sit for the certification exam to recertify.
How does the MOC program work for you?
If you are currently certified…
- And, a member of ISCD, the MOC program is included as a member benefit with no additional charge aside from your annual membership fee. Be sure your ISCD membership is kept current! This automatically enrolls you in the MOC program.
- Or, if you do NOT wish to be an ISCD Member, you will automatically be enrolled in MOC for the first year after successfully passing the exam and will then need to pay MOC dues annually.
If you want to become certified…
- Candidates for both the CCD and the CBDT must complete an application to sit for the exam.
- Once eligibility is determined, you can sit for the initial certification exam.
- Once you pass the exam, your CCD or CBDT certification is valid for a period of five (5) years. ISCD Members are automatically enrolled in the MOC program, with no additional charge aside from your annual membership fee. Non-members will be enrolled in MOC for the first year after successfully passing the exam and then need to pay the MOC dues annually.

Mariam Abdul, a young woman in Warri, Delta State, attracted a large crowd to her residence at Ogaga Street, Effurun in Uvwie LGA of Delta State after she was found allegedly vomiting cash.
The 20s lady was said to have started behaving strangely after some ritualists called "Yahoo Boys" stole her pants.
Her husband, Taye Adekunle, reportedly raised the alarm that attracted neighbors
Palpable fear exists among females in a large chunk of Delta State over increasing theft of female pants purportedly for ritual purposes.
An unnamed resident of the area was quoted by The Nation as saying, "Recently, Mariam's panties were stolen by some unidentified 'Yahoo Boys' and she raised the alarm that her panties she spread after washing had been stolen. You must already know that this has been a trend in the state in recent times..
"But at about 3:45am (on Sunday), we heard a strange voice of 'help me o' from their apartment. The man was calling for help. Many of us could not open our doors until we heard the voices of some vigilante men in the area. When we got there, we saw the lady vomiting N500 notes.
"I would have doubted if I had not seen her myself. We're all dumbfounded because we don't know what to do. The N500 notes were coming out one after the other. It was through the effort of the pastor and some residents who were praying for her that she stopped.
"Three weeks ago, she and her husband announced that her pant which was hung in front of their apartment was missing. No one claimed to see the pant. We suspect that whoever stole the pant might have used it for ritual purpose since it is the reigning thing."

Import Charles Rhodes 37 points and 19 boards while Chris Ross delivered an all-around game as the San Miguel Beermen dispatched the woeful NLEX Road Warriors, 114-108, to get back on the winning track in the resumption of the OPPO PBA Commissioner's Cup Friday at Cuneta Astrodome.
Rhodes poured in 20 points and 11 boards of his total output in the first half where San Miguel pulled away and built a commanding lead.
Ross tallied 15 points, seven rebounds, 11 assists and four steals for the Beermen (6-1) who bounced back after suffering their first defeat against TNT last May 5.
San Miguel unleashed its juggernaut offense early, going on a 16-2 finishing kick to the first quarter for a 36-22 lead.
The Beermen never looked back, building their biggest lead at 24 points. With the win, San Miguel formally booked a ticket to the quarterfinals.
NLEX tried to mount a comeback in the fourth quarter, coming to within single digits after an 8-1 with just 3:31 left. But Rhodes and Ross made huge plays to hold off the Road Warriors.
Wayne Chism scored 22 points for winless NLEX (0-9) which dropped its ninth straight game. Playing their first game for their new squad since being traded a few weeks ago, JR Quinahan and Alex Mallari chipped in 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Prized center June Mar Fajardo started the game for San Miguel less than 24 hours after helping Gilas Pilipinas win the SEABA Championship gold. He finished with 12 points and four rebounds but fouled out in the fourth frame.

v21 v22 16 16 * The OTU (Operational Taxonomic Unit) perspective is an important use-case. 17 17 * Species tree hypothesis testing: splitting a given set of trees into subsets of trees as a function of compatibility to a given (set of) species tree(s). Degree of compatibility can be expressed as minimal sum of duplications needed to reconcile the gene with a species tree. I.e. measurement of the percentage of gene trees supporting an ecdysozoan versus a coelomata hypothesis. 18 19 18 20 * The analysis mentioned above could be extended by asking questions about the (majority of) functional categories supporting a given species tree. These examples require association of the following data with gene tree nodes: taxonomy identifier, gene identifier. 19 21 * Gene tree analysis: similar to the Zmasek et al (2007) paper, one may want to build alignments and phylogenetic trees for all members of each protein (family) of a biological network (e.g. apoptsis). After loading the trees into a database, one could then query the database for those gene trees that exhibit a given pattern (e.g. lineage specific gene expansion or gene loss). 20 * Problem: the query topology will be given with either gene name labels, or species name labels, but the labels of the trees will be OTUs. 21 * Hence, each OTU needs to be linked to the gene name(s) and taxon names, and it needs to be possible to specify that matching tree nodes use the linked taxon or gene names. 22 22 * In molecular and comparative genomics applications, one may want to find all trees that have been built for a certain sequence. 23 23 * Problem: As above, querying by sequence will give the gene name or the sequence accession number to match by, but tree nodes will have OTUs as labels.

Rawalpindi-A gang of three armed dacoits stormed into an auto spare parts shop located in a street along with Murree Road and snatched cash from the shop owner and customers in broad daylight, sources informed on Wednesday.
The dacoits managed to flee from the crime scene after looting the trader and customers. The incident took place within limits of Police Station (PS) Waris Khan, they said.According to sources, three dacoits having sophisticated weapons walked in Talha Autos located behind Noor Mehel Hotel on Murree Road and made the shop owner and other customers hostage on gunpoint. The dacoits took away Rs75,000 cash from the trader, the customers and a waiter of hotel present in the shop and fled on motorcycles towards Liaquat Bagh, they said.
However, the victim trader had not reported the occurrence of crime to local police, sources said. The daring dacoity in the market that too in broad daylight caused a wave of panic as the other shopkeepers shut their businesses and went home. "We are feeling insecure after a dacoity in the shop and are thinking to wrap up our business," said a shopkeeper. He said there was no patrolling of police of Dolphin Force in the area to catch the robbers. He appealed to City Police Officer Faisal Rana to take action against Waris Khan Police for not providing security to the citizens.
Meanwhile, Taxila police recovered two sisters missing from the area, according to a police spokesman.
He said both the sisters left their house and went into hiding due to their mother's behaviour. According to him, two sisters suddenly went missing from the area of police station Taxila, their relatives informed the police.
SP Potohar Syed Ali directed Taxila police to trace the missing girls utilising the latest scientific technology for their recovery. SP Potohar kept taking hourly follow up regarding recovery of the missing girls. Taxila police, using the scientific technology, traced the girls. The girls were found from an Edhi Centre in Islamabad and were handed over to their relatives completing legal requirements. He said police also arrested another man and recovered a 12-year-old girl from his captivity that he had kidnapped from the limits of PS Naseerabad.

Throughout the years, there have been many people who were capable to change the world and turn the planet earth upside down (metaphorically, of course!), some for the better and some for the worse. In both cases, we can't deny that the existence of these people was extremely important to be where we are now!
Time Magazine has published a list in 1999 of the people, from all races, who are recognized for their unbelievable efforts to change the world: Some were capable to inspire us, challenge us, and help us grow. While others managed to scare us and teach us the right way to live, love, and survive…
The 20th century was filled with major changes and unlimited ups and downs, but now that we are here, we thought to mention the most influential people in order to be inspired by them, learn from them, and be capable to change the world like them (or better)!

evil death......
Nice topic and nice discussion about that topic.I love to read books when i can find the time.Beautiful Winner - by Cohen Leonard is one of the interesting book. Traveled with tools written by Thomas Taylor.
to my way of thinking "you can win" is the best one by Shiv Khera
Books possess the power to take you to another world without moving an inch. The ones that I have been reading lately are:
1. Adultery by Paulo Coelho
2. 11 Minutes by Paulo Coelho
3. Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus.
They are absolute must reads
Happy reading
reading is very important one this only will improve you knowledge.
I like crime fiction and I have been reading those of Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus series and Stephen King's books.
Reading is not my hobby. I, really, don't like to read much but I have read some good books though. The one that I have impressed a lot is by Alexander Dumas. The book "The Count of Monte Cristo". Haven't you read it?

October 22, 2019
By Winahyu Dwi Utami
Pekanbaru, RIAU. Assisted by her husband, Syafrianti, 51, arrived at around 10:00 A.M. at the Public Service Center (PSC) of the Riau Province Health Office on Cut Nyak Dien Street in Pekanbaru, on September, 24, 2019. She came complaining of chest pains that she has suffered for the past two days and which have reached levels that really disturbed her daily activities.
The doctor in charge, immediately told her to lay down and proceeded to examine her. With the help of a paramedic, the public servant with the Riau Province Food Resilience Office, was then hooked to an oxygen supply. After having rested for about 15 minutes, Syafrianti said the pain in her chest had begun to subside. "Because I could no longer stand the pain, I asked my husband to bring me here," said Syafrianti, who has an office not far from the PSC.
"The window in my office is broken so smoke can easily enter into our work room. The smoke in Pekanbaru has recently gotten worst. The thing is, I do not have a history of asthma, heart or lung diseases," she added.

The thick smoke in Riau is also causing problems for Yayuk. Her six-year-old daughter Syaqira had complained of a headache when she came out of arrived her school. The first grader at a private school in Pekanbaru is usually a cheerful child, but when her mother came to pick her up, she looked somber.
"In the evening, I took Syaqira to the health clinic not far from home. According to the doctor, my child had a head ache because of the lack of oxygen supply to her brain. This could be because of the smoke-filled air," said Yayuk.
"Thank God, schools have been temporarily closed down since September 11, 2019. While there is no school, I do not allow my children to go out of the house," she added.
On September 10, 2019, state-run schools and a number of private ones were officially temporarily closed down by the local authority until the air conditions had improved. Among the regions where this policy was applied were Pekanbaru and Dumai city. Some private schools which had air conditioning had kept open but made it obligatory for their students to wear face masks.
The worsening air pollution, however, which had reached unhealthy levels, led to the closing of all schools on September 11, 2019. The schools have remained closed for almost two weeks because of the smoke from the forest and ground fires.
Syafrianti and Syaqira were just a few of the thousands of people suffering from the smoke that has blanketed Riau province. The smoke has not only harmed health but also disrupted education and even the people's economy.
Smoke-related ailments
The Riau Province Health Office has recorded at least five ailments caused by the smoke haze. They were identified as Respiratory Track Ailments, Pneumonia, Asthma, Eye and skin irritations. The highest number of sufferers had respiratory track ailments.
As of September 2019, the Riau Province Health Office had registered 324,772 visits of patients suffering from respiratory track ailments there. The data were gathered from health polyclinics and hospitals across Riau. Compared to 2015 when forest and ground fires were massive, there were less sufferers of this ailment this year. For the same period in 2019, there were 451,822 sufferers registered.
Herewith are data on the number of respiratory track ailments from 2015 up and including September 2019:
"The lower number of sufferers could be because people are now much more aware of the impacts of smoke and have been able to anticipate them. Besides that, respiratory track ailments are not only caused by the smoke. However, when the air is polluted by smoke, those people who are vulnerable would easily fall to respiratory track ailments," Head of the Riau Province Health Office, Mimi Yuliani Nazir, said.
Smoke contains a number of gases and chemical particles that irritate breathing such as Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Carbon monoxide (CO) Formaldehyde, Acrolein, Benzene, Nitrogen Oxide (NOX) and Ozone ()3). These can trigger irritations in young infants, the elderlies and those already suffering from lung diseases.
To provide health services to those affected by the smoke in Riau, the provincial health office opened a number of coordinating posts and evacuations shelters to accommodate those fleeing the impact of the smoke. There were 14 such coordinating post in Pekanbaru which remained open from early in the day until 9:00 P.M. every day.
"They are not only in Pekanbaru city, but in the regions, such health coordination posts and evacuation shelters have been set up. Since the Governor declared the Emergency status for air pollution beginning in September 23 up until September 30 ,2019, the evacuation shelters have remained open for 23 hours," she said.
2019 has become the worst year for the smoke haze in Riau after 2015. The air pollution index for the region had reached dangerous levels. PM10 concentrations reached 748.628 ugram/m3 on September 22,2019, at 9:44 P.M., or far over the safe ceiling for PM10 which stood at 150 ugram/m3.
"Because the air pollution index had reached dangerous levels, the Riau Governor declared the air pollution emergency status on September 23-3-, 2019," said the head of the Provincial Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD), Edwar Sanger.
On September 22, 2019, at 5:00 P.M., the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Office (BMKG) observed the presence of 112 hotspots across Riau, with a confidence level of 50 percent. For the whole of Sumatra there were a total of 973 hotspots, most of them, 465, in South Sumatra while 286 others were in Jambi.
At 7:00 A.M. Western Indonesia Time on the next day, September 23, 2019, BMKG said that visibility in Pekanbaru city was limited to around 500 meters. Worse conditions could be found in Rengat Town, and the districts of Indragiri Hulu and Pelalawan which saw visibility at a mere 300 meters.
At 6:00 P.M. later on the same day the Terra/Aqua Satellite detected a total of 1,591 hotspots in Sumatra, 256 of them in Riau, with a confidence level of 50 percent. This number is still lower than that in Jambi, at 505 hotspots and in South Sumatra with 675 hotspots. At a confidence level of 70 percent, a total of 172 hotspots were detected in Riau.
The thickness of the smoke in Riau was also caused by the wind which went across the province, blowing from Jambi and South Sumatra provinces. At midday, the conditions relatively improved because of light rains that fell on a number of areas in Riau at around 2:00 P.M.
Efforts to create artificial rain were conducted by the Air Task Force and the Agency for Technology Research and Development, as well as through the performing of rain-asking prayers by all elements of the society in Riau.
"The rain that fall was because of a natural as well as man-made process," said a staffer at the analytical section of the Pekanbaru BKMG station.
The dryer than usual dry season this year, compared to the previous year, was attributed to the El Nino Phenomenon. El Nino is a phenomenon that takes place when sea level temperature in the central to eastern parts of the Pacific Ocean warms up. The impact could be felt by a number of regions in Indonesia.
"From January up until September 2019, BMKG registered the number of hotspots in Riau at 3,064 spots with a confidence level of 50 percent. This is far greater than in the previous month in the same year, that was at 1,897 spots," Head of the Pekanbaru BMKG station, Sukisno, said in mid-September.
The number was much higher compared to September 2018, 2017 and 2016. In 2018 the number of hotspots was at 245 spots, 48 spots in 2017 and 59 in 2016.
Regarding the burned area, the Riau Province Disaster Mitigation Agency recorded 9,120.5 hectares of land burnt during the January 1, 2019 Th- October 6, 2019 period. Most of the fires were in peat land.

The fire-affected lands were in open access areas, land that are managed by the people, in company concession and in conservation areas. Riau has already declared a forest and land fires emergency status on February 19, 2019 and it is expected to end on October 31, 2019.
The burned areas were not only in mineral soil but also in peatland. The Peat Restoration Agency (BRG) registered the peatland surface that have been burnt in the January-September period at 49,266 hectares. Following is the date from BRG:
Source: Peat Restoration Agency.
According to Didy Wuryanto who heads the Planning and Budgeting Bureau of the BRG, there were much more peat land areas that got burned because the areas of peatland that have not yet been comprehensively worked on was still much wider than the mineral soil area. Peatland that are not yet exploited but have already been drained in preparation for planting, were mostly neglected so that they could easily catch fire.
"The usage (of peatland) that is not done immediately but await a drying process in the dry period, results in the land to easily catch fire," Didy said.
"If dry peat is burnt, it would be even more difficult to extinguish compared to fires in mineral soil. Even if covered with water, burning peat will continue to emit smoke," he added.
Secretary General of the Riau Network of Peat Societies (JMGR), Isnadi Esman , deemed that the current forest and ground fires in peat areas are the result of an accumulation of bad peat management by the government, through the issuance of policies and regulations that do not favor the peat ecosystem and its people. "Concession rights, be that for industrial timber estate (HTI) , the rights of exploitation (HGU), mines and oil and gas, are the main roots of the drying up of the peatland so that they can easily catch fire," he said.
Law enforcement
On October 8, 2019, the Forest and Ground Fire Law Enforcement Task Force of the Riau Police named two people as suspects in the case of forest and ground fires by corporations. The first one was a director of PT SSS with his initial being ESHL and the other an executive of PT SSS identified as Operational Manager AOH.
"The suspect AOH has been detained at the Riau Police special crime detective directorate," said Riau Police Spokesman, Senior Commissioner Sunarto during a press conference at the Riau Police headquarters on October 8 2019.
The police questioned 23 witnesses from the corporation, 13 from the public, and 11 experts before declaring them as suspects. The burned area is estimated at being around 155.2 hectares in Kuala Panduk village in the Teluk Meranti sub-district of Pelalawan district.
"The company was negligent and did not provide the facilities, did not have adequate funds, SOP and personnel to fight forest and ground fires. Fire-fighting efforts at Block I number 43 failed and the fire thus spread to other blocks/ The fire on February 23, 2019 could only be finally extinguished on March 10, 2019," Adjunct Senior Commissioner Andri Sudarmaji who heads the Riau Police Directorate for Special Crimes, said.
The suspects face the charge of having violated Article 98, point 1, of Law number 32 of 2009 on the Protection and Management of the Environment. The charge carries between three years and up to 10 years imprisonment and a fine of up to Rp10 billion.
"There were indications of intentionality, as the land that caught fire was a vacant plot. And the burned area had already been delineated with open channels. The land clearly is part of the work plan of PT SSS. Not far from that location there is a security post and a stock of oil palm seedling ready for plantation. The company did not abide with the Environmental Impact Analysis document, the Environmental Management Plan and Environmental Monitoring Plan. Based on the investigation, there were practically no fire-fighting done," Andri explained.
The Riau Police law enforcement unit had by 18 October 2019, received a total of 66 police reports, had declared 68 people as individual suspects and two others as corporate suspects. "At present, there are 27 cases in the process of questioning, 16 cases in the First Phase, 22 in the Second Phase and one case had already had its file documents approved," Andri added.
Besides by the Riau Police, law enforcement was also conducted by the Directorate General of Law Enforcement of the Environment and Forestry Ministry. "The Law Enforcement Unit has already sealed 10 forest and ground fire locations belonging to 10 companies. Those companies are PT SSS, PT SBP, PT SR, PT THIP, PT TKWL, PT RAPP, PT SRL, PT GSM, PT AP, PT TI," The head of the directorate general, Rasio Ridho Sani said after a coordination meeting on the prevention and handling of forest and forest fires on Saturday (14/9/2019).
When Ekuatorial tried to obtain confirmation from the spokesman of PT SRL which had about 700 hectares of its land affected by fires, no comments were given. PT RAPP which saw about 25 hectares of its land burned also declined comment when reached for confirmation.
!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var e in a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var t=document.getElementById("datawrapper-chart-"+e)||document.querySelector("iframe[src*='"+e+"']");t&&(t.style.height=a.data["datawrapper-height"][e]+"px")}})}();
Rasio said that law enforcement against perpetrators of the forest and ground fires can take the form of criminal charges as well as civil charges. "For those companies suspected of involvement in forest and ground fire cases, they can get administrative sanctions such as the freezing of their licenses," he explained.
A number of companies contacted by ekuatorial.com for confirmation declined to respond.
Riau Police Chief Inspector General Agung Setya Imam Effendi told a press conference at the Riau Police headquarters that the crime of forest and ground fires was not a regular one. There were difficulties to prove these cases.
Professor Bambang Hero Saharjo from the Forestry Faculty of the Bogor Institute of Agriculture, said that the difficulties in solving forest and ground fire cases is because the cases numbered a lot. Meanwhile many of the experts needed to solve those cases were not available so that the investigation or questioning process of the cases are hindered
"Besides that, there are not a few sides that are trying to hinder the investigation. They come from institutions that should have been in the frontline such as from the provincial and or district environment offices. Even though it is not all of them, but they should have actually been at the forefront," said Bambang who often act as an expert witness in cases of forest and ground fires in Riau.ini.
The application so the laws used against the perpetrators was also important. They should use certain laws but usually they use regional regulations that carry prison sanctions of just a few months, so that no deterrent effect is achieved.
"If all authorities empowered with law enforcement could perform their functions, then many cases would be able to be solved," he said.
Mitigation of forest and ground fires
Forest and ground fires should actually be the responsibility of all sides. This responsibility and the various roles are stipulated in Government Regulation number 4 of 2001.
"Do not hang hopes too high on the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Affairs and the BNPB only. The government at province, district/municipal levels should also be responsible over their territory. How can they conduct fire controls when no adequate funding is made available. Even if there is, they usually are just to show that there are fund being allotted, but they are not sufficient. Funds should be in a fair amount so that fires are not left to extinguish themselves or allowed to spread and enter the emergency phase which would enable funds to be dropped through the BNPB," said Bambang commenting on forest fire mitigation efforts in Riau.
Corporate compliance audits in forest and ground fire mitigation also needed to be conducted by the regional governments because the permits were issued by the Governor or the district. There should be no favor when applying sanctions for violations.
The handling of forest and ground fires would only be effective if it involved all stakeholders, not only the armed forces and the police as well as the Manggala Agni. In peat areas, there is a need for efforts to wet the area so that the surface remained relatively humid. The areas should also be continuously monitored because there is no guarantee that land that have been restored would not catch fire again. Integrated patrol activities should be intensified, including in monitoring the level of the peat water.
"Law enforcement must be backed by all sides, including institutions at the district/municipal level where the corporations are located," Bambang said.
The Riau Women Movement Against Smoke, or G-Prima, held a rally in front of the office of the Governor of Riau on September 23, 2019 to submit a number of demands to the governor that were related to forest and ground fires and the smoke haze.

As an institution mandated by the president to restore peat ecosystems in Indonesia, the BRG has conducted the wetting of damaged pea land and formerly burned land totaling 670,000 hectares from the targeted 892,248 hectares. This figure was within the BRG restoration target that was part of the state's responsibility.
"For area inside concessions, BRG only limit itself to conducted a supervision on the concession holders. This function is stipulated in the Presidential Regulation Number 1 of 2016. Up until now, supervision has been conducted in five concession areas in Riau, South Sumatera, South Kalimantan Jambi and West Kalimantan covering an area of 242,260 hectares from the targeted 1,7 million hectares," said Didy.
The targeted area for restoration of BRG stands at about 2,676,601 Hectares. A total of 1,784,353 hectares of that are in peatland within concessions while the rest, 892,248 Hectares are peat land in conservation areas, in protected forests, in production forest and areas for other usages (APL) that are not managed under concessions.
In line with Government Regulation Number 57 of 2016, restoration of peat within non-concession areas, such as in production forest, protected forest or AOL fall under the responsibility of the regional government. The restoration of peat in conservation areas is the responsibility of the technical executive arm of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Affairs, in this case, the National Park and the Natural Resources Conservancy Agency.
The restoration of damaged peat and former burned areas is done byl the rewetting method or R1. One o the ways are by wetting the dry peat by drilling wells.
The next step, after the peat has been rewetted, is to revegetate it (or R2), so that trees can grow again and restore the condition of the peat. "The process of restoration or recovery needs a long time so that the revegetation phase or R2 has so far only reached the trial test phase," Didy said.
To allow a quick and wide recovery, the involvement of the people is necessary. BRG will then conduct the R3 method (economic revitalization). Under this method, the people who want to make use of the peat land would not need to drain it, This R3 activity includes planting sago trees that are suitable for peat land, as well as fruits vegetables, as well as introducing fishery and livestock.
"R1, R2 and R3 are the principal activities in restoration that has to be conducted independently by the village people who want that the peat in their area can be made use in a sustainable way. The people in peat areas would then be able to profit from the wet peat that stores waters at least 40 cm from the surface. There are already 262 villages. As a result of cooperation with the BRG, which are now Peat Concerned Villages (DPG)," Didy said.
Restoration efforts far from satisfactory
Criticism came from the Network of Riau Peat Societies (JMGR). The many canals and drilling wells would be useless without a good water management and the areas will continue to suffer from dryness and fires.
"We found that on the field, companies permanently close the water gates leading to the people's areas during the dry season like we are now. The result is that the concession area continues to be wet while the rest, in settlement areas and other land managed by the people are dry so that the can easily burn. The opposite is that in the rainy season these water gates are opened so that the people are flooded. This is a solution that needs to be concretely settled not always blame people in peatland when forest and ground fires take place," Isnadi said.
Isnadi said that there needs to be a road map for a long-term solution for the mitigation of forest and ground fires and the efforts must be backed by regulations and all concerned institutions as well as the people. "The Society Concerned with Fires (MPA) that was initiated during the government of Governor Annas Maamun can become effective if really implemented. Periodical MPA patrols would be able to detect the presence of fires early. Fires are easier to extinguish when still small," Isnadi said.
Riau Police Chief Inspector General Agung Setya Imam Effendi floated the idea of an internet-based application during a seminar on October 15, 2019. The application, to be named Dasboard Lancang Kuning would be assisted by satellite to detect fires. "We will be able to detect which district police is the nearest to the location of the fire, so that we can immediately deploy the nearest personnel to fight the fire," Agung said. EKUATORIAL.

Know Your Rocks
Tying Geology to Our Favorite Natural Stones
Karin Kirk
Photos and Charts by Karin Kirk, Natural Stone Institute
Onyx and travertine (above) are more rare types of sedimentary rocks that have formed in deposits of groundwater with a lot of minerals dissolved in it. Here, leaves that fell into a pool are preserved in Travertine.
Do you love natural stone? Me, too. Fans of natural stone countertops, tiles, fireplaces, walls, and building stone are natural allies to geologists. We all share a similar zeal for a glimmer of garnet and the sexy sparkle of marble.
The two disciplines have different ways of organizing and thinking about stone, which makes sense because we're interested in different things. Geologists study rocks to learn more about what happened in Earth's past.
Regular people appreciate rocks because they're useful, practical and beautiful. Nonetheless, a bit of geology can shed light on why or where we'd want to use a given stone. Geology also helps us appreciate that every slab of stone offers a little glimpse into deep time and the dramatic forces that shape the planet.
This article touches on 13 different types of natural stone, with links to each type to explore further.
Organizing Natural Stones Into Categories
You may have been taught the geologic categories of stone in middle school – ancient history, in other words. Geologists, like all scientists, love to put things in categories. We group rocks by the process that formed them. Did a rock erupt from a fiery volcano, or take shape in a placid riverbed?
Making More Useful Categories: Grouping Stones by Their Properties
I'll admit that geologic categories aren't all that helpful for the way natural stones are used. Instead, we can group stones by the properties that matter to us, like how they hold up in the places we use them.
See Chart Two for an overview of rock types sorted by hardness and their ability to withstand an onslaught of marinara sauce.
Note the empty category of hard stones that are damaged by acids. It turns out that hard minerals also tend to be unaffected by household acids. That's just a coincidence of mineral chemistry, but it's convenient for those looking for a hard, resistant, natural surface.
When we talk about acid resistance, we're referring to things like vinegar or citrus. Strong acids like oven cleaner and some bathroom cleaners will damage almost any stone, so keep those away from your stone, or better yet, use less toxic means to clean your home.
Relationships Between Different Types of Stone
In the world of geology, all stones are related to each other. Over deep spans of time, any rock can turn into a whole new rock if it gets melted, squeezed, uplifted or eroded. In fact, that's exactly what's been happening all through Earth's history. Understanding the relationships between different stones can make it easier to see why some share similar traits. It also helps you appreciate the events that gave rise to all those beautiful slabs in the showrooms.
Sedimentary Rocks Turn Into Metamorphic Rocks
Limestone forms in shallow, warm oceans and coral-rich beaches. It's made of shells, shell fragments, and dissolved shells. Limestone can get buried and heated to taffy-like consistency, wherein it turns to marble. Both stones are made of the same mineral – calcite – but in marble's case the calcite grains have been crystallized together, making the stone less porous. Marble's distinctive grey streaks are clay layers from the original limestone that got heated and swirled.
The relationship between sandstone and quartzite follows a similar theme. Sand grains gather on beaches, sand dunes and riverbanks. Layers of sand get buried and pressed together, forming sandstone. If sandstone gets shoved down deep and compressed even further, the sand grains fuse together to become quartzite. As described in the Deep Dive into Quartzite article (October 2018 Slippery Rock) , this process is a gradual one.
This means there are many gradations of sandstone and quartzite, ranging from highly porous sandstone to bombproof crystalline quartzite. The more deeply a stone is buried, the more tightly compacted it will get. The porosity of a stone translates into its ability to shrug off stains, and this is something that buyers can evaluate as they shop for different stones.
Bluestone is a variety of sandstone. It formed as rivers flowed off a former mountain range along the eastern seaboard. As 400,000,000-year-old rivers wound their way through the landscape, they left behind pockets of sandstone in Pennsylvania and southern New York. Because the sandy deposits occurred in small, scattered areas, the quarries were small, too, setting the stage for generations of family-run quarrying operations throughout the region.
Dialing Up the Heat on Slate, Schist, and Gneiss
This trio of rocks shows what happens if you crank up the thermostat on a stone. The predecessor to all of these stones is shale, which is compressed clay and is decidedly un-sexy.
But add a little heat and pressure and those unremarkable clay particles start to grow and strengthen, and the rock turns into slate. Unlike shale, slate is durable – and is workable into tiles, shingles, and of course, old-school blackboards.
If the stone gets hotter, the clay particles morph into mica and the rock takes on a subtle sheen. This is called phyllite, but in commercial terms phyllite is usually sold as slate.
More heat begets even larger mica grains, and the stone becomes schist, which is known for its glittery look. Schists with small mica grains are preferable to stones with large chunks of mica, because the latter can be weak and literally flaky.
Adding even more heat and pressure will make the stone separate into bands of light and dark minerals. Striped or banded patterns are the hallmark of gneiss. The patterns can be calm or bold, straight or swirled.
For commercial purposes, gneiss is usually classified as granite, because it's made of the same minerals and shares similar properties and colors.
If the stone gets hotter still, it will start to melt. In some slabs of gneiss you can see melted blobs of quartz, showing the stone was right on the edge of becoming liquid again. If the whole thing melts, then you'll end up with granite, an igneous rock.
Granite can be multicolored and light, or dark and full of iridescent minerals like Labradorite (below).
What's in a name? In the stone industry, many types of igneous rock get lumped under the general name of "granite." If you have something special in your slab yard–your customers will love a countertop with an interesting geological history.
The Many Colors of Granite
Granite means many things. It's a catch-all category that's often used to describe any hard, crystalline stone.
In geology, granite is one specific thing: an igneous rock that is coarse-grained and overall light-colored. But in the parlance of the natural stone industry, the definition of granite is expanded to include all igneous rocks, as well as many metamorphic rocks like gneiss and schist.
Geologists classify igneous rocks by the size of the crystals and the types of minerals. And while you will definitely sound smart if you casually inquire if your local slab yard has any quartz monzonite or granodiorite, that's not necessary.
Most igneous rocks are quite similar to each other, despite their different colors and patterns. We can just stick to calling them all granite. (Just please don't tell my geology friends I said this!)
Basalt is one type of igneous rock that is famous for erupting out of volcanoes, like the spectacular lava flows from Kilauea we saw last spring and summer.
Basalt also makes up the entire ocean crust (which itself is volcanic, betcha didn't know that!) and forms oceanic islands like Hawaii and Iceland.
Solid Rock from Liquid Water
Onyx and travertine are variations of the same stone. They come about from mineral-laden water, like you'd find at the mouth of a hot spring. Both are made of calcite, the same mineral that's in limestone and marble.
Travertine has a lacy pattern from the way the water flows in little rivulets away from the mouth of a hot spring.
Onyx can form from either hot or cool water, and is less porous than travertine. Onyx is beloved for its smooth layers and gem-like colors that are especially glorious when backlit.
The Oddball Stone that Doesn't Fit Into Any Categories
It's true with people and it's true with stones, too. Not everyone fits into a tidy category.
Soapstone, for instance, is basically nothing like other rocks. It manages to be soft, yet dense. You can scratch it with your fingernail, but you can't stain it or burn it, no matter how careless you are.
Soapstone is more like a family of stones rather than one specific thing, but it's cool stuff, and I bet it will surprise you.
Geologists and Natural Stone Aficionados Agree
Natural stone offers a lot to love – there's zero doubt about that. Take a moment to learn about the history and characteristics of your favorite stone, and I bet you'll appreciate it even more.
Karin Kirk is a geologist and science educator with over 20 years of experience and brings a different perspective to the stone industry.
Karin is a regular contributor to usenaturalstone.com and the Slippery Rock Gazette.
Soapstone is the oddball of natural stones: it is normally impervious to most acids, yet some types are soft enough to carve with a kitchen knife.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Legislation to change a system of seniority-based layoffs for public school teachers is headed to Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, who says he'll veto it.
The Senate on Monday voted 28 to 22 in favor of a bill that would require school districts making layoffs to first eliminate the jobs of educators deemed to be failing or in need of improvement, rather than those most recently hired.
Districts would have to use the state's 4-year-old teacher performance rating system to guide decisions about layoffs and reinstatements.
A Wolf spokesman says the issue should be settled by districts during negotiations with labor unions.
The bill's supporters say Pennsylvania is among a small number of states that use seniority as the sole factor in determining which teachers should lose their jobs during tough economic times.

Is your relationship with God characterized by feelings of condemnation or confidence?
If you're at all like me—in other words, if you're an ordinary Christian—your answer to this question is probably, "Both." Sometimes I feel guilty and ashamed of my sins. Knowing that I'm a sinner, I feel like I should be condemned. Other times, however, I feel like I'm in sync with God and his purposes for my life. In those times, I feel God's love for me, have hope for the future, and approach him confidently in prayer.
These wavering feelings are my issue (and yours), not God's. God is constant in his love for us. First John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." And 2 Timothy 2:13 adds, "if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself." The key word in both verses is faithful. Our feelings for God may fluctuate, but God's commitment to us does not.
So, the question we ought to ask is, what do we do when instead of feeling confidence before God, we are plagued by feelings of condemnation? First John 3:19-24 provides an answer:
This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
According to these verses, when plagued by feelings of condemnation, we should first and foremost think about God. "God is greater than our hearts," John tells us. He is faithful to the faithless. Indeed, "his Son, Jesus Christ" is the demonstration of his love for sinners (1 John 3:16). And he "lives in us" through "the Spirit he gave us." The work of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Spirit) confirms God's constant love for us and is the foundation for moving from feelings of condemnation to confidence.
Knowing God's constant love for us motivates us toward greater faith and better works. "And this is his command," John writes: "to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us." Whenever you feel condemned, believe in Jesus Christ and produce the good works which faith in him inspires. The more you turn to Jesus (which is faith) and act like Jesus (which is love), the more confident you will feel in your relationship to God.

The editor of Seven West Media's The West Australian, Brett McCarthy, has not officially been told anything about a merger with News Corp's Sunday paper The Sunday Times. But in a conversation with Mediaweek, he noted that the reports about a deal have appeared in News Corp mastheads, which would indicate that it is "more than idle gossip".
The West Australian is Perth's only six-day-a-week newspaper publishing from Monday to Saturday.
"[The Saturday paper] is our biggest product of the week. It's our biggest-selling day," McCarthy revealed.
"We are the only state in Australia where the circulation of a Saturday newspaper is higher than the circulation on a Sunday."
In 12 months to December 2015, The Weekend West had a circulation of 239,623. Meanwhile, in the same period, The Sunday Times had a circulation of 184,012.
Speaking about the prospects of tapping into the Sunday market to compete with The Sunday Times, McCarthy asserted: "We have always seen Monday to Saturday as our patch in news. It's very difficult to start up new newspapers.
"Even with the strength of our brand, to start a new newspaper is a very, very difficult ask."
While The West Australian enjoys a monopoly in the print space, it faces some stiff competition in digital with PerthNow and Fairfax Media's WAtoday.
McCarthy pointed out that The West's biggest strength lies in three factors: frequency of its hard copy, staff size and the ability to use content from Seven West Media's 21 regional titles.
"The depth of content we produce in all areas is greater than anyone else's when you are talking about Western Australia.
"We try to be a paper for all of the state. At various times we succeed pretty well in that and at other times we probably fall short of what the people in the regions want.
"We are able to draw on content from a vast number of sources to cover the region better than anyone else. We also travel a fair bit."
Being Seven West Media's sole metro newspaper, does the masthead have an added pressure to prove itself as a viable business?
"All media businesses have to prove themselves every year. I don't think the pressure is any greater on us to prove ourselves because we are a print product. That pressure is right across the board," McCarthy replied.
He identified that the biggest growth opportunity for the newspaper is in digital.
"The readership for all print media is an ageing readership. We have to cater for that while trying to bring in younger readers," McCarthy said.
"We know that there is a crossover [between the print and digital readership]. But we know that the people reading our digital platforms are different readers.
"The big task for us in digital is finding where those people are hanging out in that space, and hopefully, being able to serve them content that will interest them enough to come to us.
"The audience profile for online differs from print. They are younger and they don't necessarily read the print version. They want to read in a different way, and they want to see more video content, and only access us via a mobile platform."
The West Australian is attempting to cater to the needs of its readers on mobile by launching a native app, which is currently being developed.
"Our website renders quite well to mobile but we don't have a native app. So we are looking at that. That will be something we will be looking to introduce in the early part of next year. That will help serve another chunk of readership."
Australia's only fully integrated newsroom
The West Australian and Seven News Perth teams work in the same newsroom. The latter moved into the building in February 2015. At the time, Seven West Media claimed this to be a world first.
"We are the only newsroom like it in the country that produces a commercial TV bulletin, website, printed product, and some radio. It's all happening out of the one newsroom. Our senior staff across all the platforms sit together on one desk, and they cooperate and work together all day, every day," The West Australian editor Brett McCarthy said.
"I have various reporters who have done full TV news packages for Seven News. I published a story a couple of days ago on the front page [of The West] with the byline of one of the Channel 7 reporters on it.
"We work on the basis of complete openness. We know what they are doing and they know what we are doing. We attend the Channel 7 news conference in the morning, and they attend our conferences. We swap news lists and work together on stories."
Ads in print vs online
Speaking about how advertising is holding up in print at The West Australian, and if the paper holds any advantage being the only Monday to Saturday paper in the market, editor Brett McCarthy said: "The advertising in print is under pressure, there is no doubt about that.
"It's held up reasonably well here compared to newspapers in other states. However, it is under pressure, and it is moving to digital platforms.
"The challenge for us is to try to capture a part of that digital revenue."

The president 'is actually talking about providing specific tangibles' to members of the black community, pointed out one filmmaker
A change is occurring.
People are starting to wake up and realize that all the negative anti-Trump bluster coming from many on the Left and the fake news media is just political propaganda.
It's absurd to accuse President Donald Trump of being a "racist," for example, in my view.
That nonsense only happened after he decided to run for the White House in 2016.
Furthermore, President Trump is backing up his promises to help all Americans, regardless of race or religion, with action.
Trump on Friday attended the #BlackVoicesForTrump event in Atlanta.
"Kicking off a new campaign effort," as The New York Times described the Atlanta event, "the president sought to recalibrate his message as he heads into next year's re-election effort. Addressing several hundred African-American supporters who signed up to help him win another term, he vowed to compete for support across racial lines."
"We're going to campaign for every last African-American vote in 2020," Trump told attendees of the Georgia World Congress Center.
"We've done more for African-Americans in three years than the broken Washington Establishment has done in more than 30 years," he said, as The Times also noted.
He added that "the Democrat Party already left you a long time ago."
He said, "If you don't want liberal extremists to run your lives, then today we say welcome to the Republican Party."

Trump delivered a powerful speech, reaching out to the black community and telling people that while Democrats want to invest trillions in the ridiculous Green New Deal, he wants to invest in black Americans.
That was the message that caught filmmaker and notorious Trump-hater Tariq Nasheed's attention.
He watched the video and then quote-tweeted it, saying, "Trump is actually talking about providing specific tangibles to foundational Black Americans."
"Yet the Democrats who black Americans have been so naively loyal to, are adamant about NOT doing anything specific for black Americans. So why should we honestly support the Democrats?"
Trump is actually talking about providing specific tangibles to Foundational Black Americans
Yet the democrats who Black Americans have been so naively loyal to, are adamant about NOT doing anything specific for Black Americans.
So why should we honestly support the democrats? https://t.co/204xv3v7zm
— Tariq Nasheed 🇺🇸 (@tariqnasheed) November 9, 2019
When this writer saw this, I was shocked because I am very familiar with how much Nasheed dislikes the president — but it gave me some hope, too.
This is not to suggest that he's going to be sporting a MAGA hat and voting for Trump in 2020.
But what I am saying is that this is a significant shift.
And it's especially notable that Nasheed is asking the all-important question: "So why should we honestly support Democrats?"
Yes, why?
Where's the action?
It's certainly not in the inner city, where hope and change and all of that never showed up.
So, Nasheed's just asking that question is powerful — and it's progress.
In a different tweet, Nasheed quote-tweeted another clip of Trump's speech, in which he talked about the "opportunity zones" for African-Americans that were created and passed without any Democrat support.
See, Dems will leave blacks in the dust because they don't want Trump getting any of the "credit."
They'd rather vote "no," and let blacks suffer than show even the slightest bit of bipartisanship.
That's how little Dems care for the people who have voted loyally for them for decades, as I see it.
Trump is actually working hard to give African-Americans a future they deserve — not just talking about it every four years and then doing nothing.
Nasheed tweeted, "I actually agree with Trump here."
Again, that is powerful, especially from someone like Tariq, who has been so critical of Trump in the past.
I actually agree with Trump here https://t.co/NFsF3X9P2V
— Tariq Nasheed 🇺🇸 (@tariqnasheed) November 9, 2019
It is this type of openness to hearing what Trump is saying that matters.
It is Nasheed's willingness to block out the mainstream media and Democrat bluster and noise and ignore — and actually look at the results that are happening — that's a major event here.
I believe Nasheed will be paying even closer attention to what President Trump says and does within black communities — and will share those results with his large following.
And for that, we should all be happy because we want all Americans to prosper — every last one.

Many veterans qualify for Social Security disability benefits, but they are so disabled -- either mentally or physically -- that they are not capable of gathering the appropriate documentation and filling out their applications for benefits. This is a very real problem that numerous veterans are struggling with throughout the United States. If you and/or your loved one are dealing with this kind of an issue, you are not the only ones.
The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability (SSD) system are next to impossible for the average person to understand unless they have a legal education and experience working in the system. At Midwest Disability, PA, we have the education and experience you are missing. Not only is it our job to use our skills to help veterans submit appropriately completed applications for disability benefits, but it is a topic about which we are extremely passionate.
Our nation's veterans have risked their lives to defend the freedom that U.S. citizens take for granted. The military personnel who were fortunate enough to survive their time in the armed forces deserve our respect, admiration and support. At the very least, service members who were injured in the line of duty deserve to be taken care of financially. They do not deserve to be destitute, unable to pay for their living expenses and lacking in medical care.
At Midwest Disability, PA, we know that each approval for benefits that we achieve for an injured veteran is a giant achievement toward supporting our troops. It is also our way of saying "thank you" for their sacrifice. If you or your loved one is a veteran facing what seems like an insurmountable hurdle relating to disability benefits, we are here to listen to your story and advise you of your best next steps.

Multiple vaccines not linked to autism risk, cdc
Parental concerns that vaccines might be related to a higher risk of developing autism were initially related to the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine and thimerosal-containing immunizations.
In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (IoM) carried out a study which concluded that according to all evidence, there is no casual link between these vaccines and ASDs (autism spectrum disorders).
Nonetheless, parents continued (and continue) being worried about a possible link between vaccines and autism, particularly when their babies and young children have to receive many of them.
The authors of the report wrote that in a recent survey, it was revealed that parents' top vaccine-related concerns included:
- The number of vaccines children are given during their first 24 months of life
- The number of vaccines children are given in one doctor's visit
- Worry about whether there might be an autism link
The report mentions another survey which found that 1 in every 10 parents of young children delays vaccinations or flatly refuses them - most of them think that it is safer to delay the vaccines.
The new CDC study has evaluated parents' concerns regarding "too many vaccines too soon" and confirms the IoM 2004 conclusion that "there is not a causal relationship between certain vaccine types and autism."
The researchers of this latest study looked at:
- The amount of antigens babies/toddlers received on one day of vaccination
- The amount of antigens they receive in total during their first 24 months of life (Antigen - a substance in vaccines that makes the person's immune system produce antibodies to destroy the bacterium/virus/parasite)
The researchers gathered and examined data from three MCOs (managed care organizations) and compared 256 children with ASD to 752 controls (children with no ASD).
They found:
- No difference in antigen exposure - both groups of children, with an ASD and without any ASD, received the same total amount of antigens
- Antigen exposure among those with ASD with regression - children with loss of developmental skills during their second year of life (ASD with regression) received the same number of vaccine antigens as those with no ASD regression
- Children exposed to far fewer antigens today - a child aged 24 months in 2013 who conformed to the routine childhood vaccine immunization schedule has received 315 antigens, compared to several thousands in the late 1990s, even though there are more vaccines during the first 24 months today than in the 1990s. This is because vaccines today are different; they contain far fewer antigens.
For example - the old whole cell whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine makes the patient produce approximately 3,000 different antibodies. The newer acellular whooping cough vaccine makes the body only produce at the most 6 different antibodies.
According to an online communiqué by the CDC:
"This study demonstrates that autism spectrum disorder is not associated with immunological stimulation from vaccines during the first 2 years of life."
MMR autism scare started in 1998A study by Dr. Andrew Wakefield, which was published in The Lancet, a respectable UK medical journal, claimed that the MMR vaccine raised a baby's risk of developing autism.
A few years later The Lancet withdrew the article, saying that the study had been fraudulent.
An investigation by journalist Brian Deer published in the BMJ (British Medical Journal) revealed that not only was the study linking the MMR vaccine to autism a fraud, it was also motivated by financial greed.
